So literally the group that failed all areas the last three years wants to tell me truth? Yeah.. even me a nurse of 20 years... I’ll never trust them again.

Sometimes kitties are so bad, they are good.

In a way, it's a great thing that the jabs are so worthless and the public has weighed in and told the booster-pushers to go shove it. Imagine how much more difficult the next pandemic would be if these jabs actually worked and they could still behind the "it's for your own good" excuse.

The loss of critical thinking skills brings on massive vulnerability to manipulation ... and is a terminal condition for many. I have begun writing on Substack to shed a little light in this arena. I may need to go deeper into this, SOON!

OK, one more time: the way we fight back against this is piece by piece, every day, involving a little inconvenience to be sure, but it's the only way. What's the combined readership of bad cattitude + screaming into the void, to start with? What if every single one of you (I exclude me because I already don't do this stuff)

stopped texting *at all?*

stopped all non-essential use of smartphones (no more games!)

stopped using Facebook. (No more grandchildren photos shared with your group!)

and encouraged everyone in your circles to take baby steps towards these goals

stopped using the big providers as much as possible.

I have a not-too-dumbphone from Boost Mobile that costs me $10/month. It has a camera (that I haven't used so far). It's a nice little flip phone. How many people here *really* need more than that? I understand that egm and screaming etc. access a lot of data in the course of doing their work.

But the rest of us? Anyone not needing a smartphone for their work don't need a smartphone.

And--there are, sadly, a great many of us who own no land, own no house, cannot enter into the slightest a prepper lifestyle, cannot grow our own food, are reliant on the common transactions of normal life.

But if you're still banking with the real bad boys--what's your excuse? My bank--a real bank, not a credit union--is a mutually-owned regional bank. It has no shareholders. It has branches all over my region, does all normal banking things. You got something like that in your region?

We can kvetch and talk about resisting and not complying all we want, but we must start with the building blocks of how they are able to get pretty far along in harming us.

Stop buying junk! No wrapping paper! Give used books to everyone you love!

Add to my list--practical advice only. That anyone can do.

Vaccine “hesitancy” implies the person is unsure about whether to take a jab or not. Most people around here are vaccine resistant or vaccine defiant. Nothing these bureaucratic clowns can say or do will make us change our minds.

Re: State medical licensing - Milton Friedman gave a talk at the Mayo Clinic about the need to end state licensing because it was simply a means to restrict thre supply of providers to keep salaries high - and this was almost 50 years ago!

Linguistics, bad kitty. What you call behavioral economics they call behavioral science. Which is The Science (TM) of the pandemic (and all attacks on society and reason) that authorities have told us they are following. Shortening it to just "science" for the ambiguity the word conveys.

It's a "science" that rests upon a foundation of propaganda and censorship; they are the heart of it. Manipulative and coercive nudges and shoves relying upon psychological tricks and games like "fear amplification" to "fix" a population's "optimism bias"that they "suffer" from. It also will try to preserves an illusion of choice and empowerment with "choice architecture" that removes options available to the public that are disfavored by those in power while substituting others that are favored - like making gas-powered cars prohibitively expensive and offering EV's instead - voila! Choice!

The declaration of a health emergency that authorities decided to treat with Behavioral Science instead of medical science has been like letting Doctor of Psychology Sigmund Freud perform heart surgery while cardiologists observe from the balcony above.

Ominously, as a result of the effectiveness of the Behavioral Science (let's just call it BS from here on out) in changing perspectives and behaviors as the BS was applied during the pandemic, authorities have been so impressed that they've now invested billions of dollars in implementing and expanding Behavioral Health programs across the nation, local, state and around the world. Each of them given extraordinary power to apprehend and involuntarily commit those who don't obey authorities, declaring them mentally ill, necessary for their own protection. Their minds described as having lost touch with "evidence-based reality" (aka consensus narrative). Dissociated from reality, i.e. insane. For not going along with the narrative created by a consensus of totalitarians. Usually a consensus of radical Marxists. Like Susan Michie, the WHO"s new Chief Behavioral Scientist. Or, affectionately, Chief BS'er.

The Science (TM) is a feature, not a flaw of the destruction of society as we knew it pre-2020. It's The Science (TM) that is necessary to make us happy owning nothing and eating bugs by 2030.

The BS hiding in the ambiguity of the term "Science" must be called out for what it is. BS. The term "economics" is more accurate. But we know that economists aren't really scientists, even though they often believe and say they are.

And within the field of BS are more terms, like "blowback" and "backfire." That are used to describe what happens when a BS campaign is exposed and no longer works. It's when the people who've been subjected to an abusive BS campaign realize they are being coerced, manipulated and tricked. It's when people realize those in authority have treated them like chumps. People don't like it when authorities treat them like chumps. And the blowback can be very severe. Even capable of toppling governments. Which is why authorities are doing everything they can to censor and punish truth-tellers. They fear the consequences. What they fear most, the exposure of their BS campaigns, should be our mission. They've earned a whole lot of blowback and backfire.

Vaccine hesitancy? Oh hell no. We now have vaccine DENIERS. And whoever is left that still believes the narrative. They’re not working to stop vaccine hesitancy; they’re desperately trying to prevent more of the former believers from defecting over to the vaccine denier side.

Excuse me, I'm just a prickly succulent plant, but isn't it odd when they say "The goal of the communications collaborative, according to PGP, is to decrease misinformation and *increase vaccine demand* worldwide"? Shouldn't the goal be "to make people healthier worldwide?"

i’d like to start with a simple fact that we really need to take into account:

MOST DOCTORS ARE DRUG PUSHERS they are not interested in HEALTH!

why was there such a striking effort to suppress widely available, safe drugs during covid to the point of outright bans, prohibitions, seizures, and absurdist vilification as veterinary medicine?follow the money."

I think you have to consider some darker motives, not just money. By forcing uptake of a bioweapon they knew was such all along, they drastically increased the kill box. Zero chance this is only about money. ZERO.
