i’m so grateful for these compilations, gato. i’ve turned off the news altogether, so i’d never even see this. thanks for having your finger on the pulse and sharing it in such a glaringly obvious way.

They will literally go to every available end to stop the people from connecting the obvious dots to the obvious conclusion.

Gato! As always, you help to capture the utter absurdity of our current predicament. I'm presently sitting on a BART train, in disbelief that I'm the only unmasked person. Reality has become indistinguishable from satire.

Now we need explanations for the drastically lower birth rate!

I guess on the positive side, every publication that runs one of these stories is effectively hanging out a sign saying “WEF shill” for all to see. Same with the “authors”.

It is incredible that we just figured out in 2022 that gardening and hot nights increase the risk of heart disease. If people just quit gardening and bought more air conditioners, we may solve the #1 cause of death in the USA.

Just sit quietly in the dark in your basement until this life finally passes and you are safe in the warm grip of death...

Well, so much for gardening at night then...

On a side note, I posted on Igor Chudov's substack that we're now in the territory of 'greenhouse gaslighting'.

On the plus side, it's nice to see that the lowly sars-cov2 isn't taking all the blame anymore. I was almost beginning to worry that the media pinheads would neglect to diversify their explanations..

Having a heart increases heart disease risk.

One might almost conclude that life is fatal.

Seriously, correlative studies can get totally ridiculous and the average person has no clue.

Don't sell the average CNN watching American short - these headlines are designed for them - planting the seed in the fertile shit-filled brains of progressives paeans will yield copious amounts of heart attacks and aneurysms.

Monica Hughes did a great montage here:

As I noted there:

My favorite: "Falling asleep with the TV on could bring early death: study."

In reality, it was falling asleep *because* the TV was on that is bringing early death to the menticided (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-menticided-a-12-step).

Excuses, excuses. Just another case of The All Mighty Oz pulling hard on the levers In an attempt normalize the increased death we all see around us. Some see past the curtain that conceals him. Everyone else could too, if they’d just open their eyes.

As a long time amateur astronomer, I have seen the peaks of a number of Solar cycles. There have NEVER been excess heart attack deaths associated with that event. So, no scientific basis for that claim. gardening? Well, let me see - we have been doing backyard gardening for eons and no excess deaths recorded from that exposure either that I have ever seen correlated. More bogus science for that one. I love the concept of energy bill rise - what happened to the people who lived through the original OPEC energy crisis? I cannot find a single attribution to an increase in heart attacks from that period of time. Yup - mis-direction, subterfuge, lying, etc. to deflect responsibility from the real authors of the increase in deaths: big pharma, local health authorities, and government. Point fingers where they belong!

This is all evolution at work. We will all lose a lot of family and friends, but those who remain will be the critical thinkers, more resistant to fad and deception, more discerning and understanding how evidence is vetted and analyzed. I don't know if I'll make it another 20 years, but I expect that if this totalitarianism has been defeated, mankind will be reset in a good, spiritual way.

I think this quote gets to the heart of it of this type of propaganda. It is designed to humiliate.

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.”

― Theodore Dalrymple
