This is the same mentality that Dr. Semmelweis encountered when he tried to prove to his fellow 19th century physicians that washing their hands before delivering babies would reduce cases of sepsis (spoiler alert: he died in an insane asylum). Logic, evidence, and human life doesn't matter to these sociopathic con artists. All that matters is that they never have to admit they were wrong.

When is the mainstream media going to be held accountable for the psychological terror campaign they ran for the last three years that traumatized millions of people? I am pretty sure that if I relentlessly terrorized my neighbors for three years such that they were afraid to leave the house, I would be held criminally and civilly liable. Why do news media employees get a pass? Does the law not apply to them? These people committed crimes and civil wrongs. They deliberately and knowingly peddled lies and terrorized people for profit. When do the prosecutions and lawsuits start?

We need to reclaim the power of short 'n sweet.

"No."

The minute you try to bring in facts and data in general discourse with the public at this moment in time, you/we lose.

It's all about holding on to power now; to ensuring none of the malfeasance is punished. Eveyone in power is tainted and every institution formerly known as "expert" is utterly corrupted. It will take two generations to clean out these stables.

We need to be implacable--so far as is humanly possible. Everyone knows someone for whom they will compromise a little on principles and that keeps the world functioning.

But use "no" as often as you can.

Retrospective falsification: the conscious/unconscious distortion of the past to conform to a person's needs/desires in the present.

This argument really came out in that awful Oster piece on amnesty. She said, “In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck.” My head about exploded when I read that.

The FDA just approved the Pfizer vax for children as young as 6 months. So it's put up or shut up time for the Take-the-jab chorus. Let's see how many of them put their faith to the test, a la Abraham and Isaac. Line up, liberals, you said it was safe and effective, now show me that you believe it.

Starting perhaps 5 months ago, What I am seeing "normies" have switched from denial to projecting anger. I guess it is part of the 5 stages for grief:

Denial - (what you are saying can't be true. You are an idiot)

Anger - (I'm so angry I was tricked, but don't know how to deal with it, so I will take it out on THEM)

Bargaining - (would this explain, for some "further along" the awakening curve, are still wearing and have returned to wearing, masks?)

Depression - (my entire world view is destroyed. I did everything I was told and failed)

Acceptance - (Maybe then make amends, Like 12 steps of recovery?)

When you're whole identity is predicated upon the virtue of being a good hive critter,abandoning those who gave you that Superior/in Control Human endorphin rush can be hard to abandon.

Especially when you were Beta to begin with...

You were right but you’re still a selfish, granny-killing, right wing conspiracy theorist because when you were right, WE DIDN’T KNOW!

All I get is ,

"I don't want to talk about it just now"

or more recently,

"Ughh, you are still going on about covid", despite the fact they refused to talk about it before.

2023: “ I’m worried about vax side effects. Know any doctors who can treat me?”

“Yeah, here’s a list.”

“Never heard of these guys.”

“No shit, you censored them, you asshole.”

Do we offer amnesty to the stupid or do we include their "expert" fascist overlords with them at the Nuremberg II trials?

Also, bad cat, I included you and Dr. Peter McCullough in a request to Elon to be freed on Twitter. If we're lucky, maybe by Christmas, or not. Don't blame me, I'm only a hoss. 🐴

Their madness is as predictable as it is ridiculous.

I had great encouragement attending the Brownstone Institute even in Miami last week. We shall continue to highlight their idiocy and bad policies. At the very least, we cannot let them "win history" by claiming their nonsense "worked."
