Honestly I'm not really sure why I've resisted all aspects of the covid narrative. Maybe it's just my inherent distrust of authority or my oppositional personality and intense dislike of being told what to do. It helps that I have a like minded husband who couldn't care less about the friends we've lost and has kept us moving forward and never looked back.
Brings to mind an invention dreamed of by yours truly; A device that automatically takes note of the slight difference between the averaged, detected volume of the show you're watching, and the ads that interfere (which have a higher volume, intentionally), and automatically shut off their obnoxious audio invasion. Would that not be great? And the first to develop such a simple device, would be a "threat" to all involved, and possibly be bought out (quieted) for millions. But it might not be "simple" as I thought.
You're not the only one who's dreamed of that invention. My guess is that it was patented years ago, and that after selling it to the networks, the inventor is living on a private beach somewhere in the Caribbean.
Good idea with the dvd's. I bought the Waltons complete 9 seasons and movie specials last year. Still enjoyable, clean family programming to this day. I enjoyed Lindsey Wagnor's Bionic Woman 3 season series last year too. I wish they would put the 1991 The Home Front series and NY Undercover series on DVD. I too like programming that allows people to draw their own conclusions. I like the old westerns too. Grabbed a John Wayne collection a few months ago for about $25. No one telling me what to feel or to believe in that type of programming.
You can't beat Fawlty Towers!!! I terminated my cable subscription two months ago and I feel like my brain has been freed from prison. It's all Amazon Prime and Paramount + at my house (two hours per day) and I feel well-entertained & not burdened with lies.
Why do you watch them? I don't. Actually I don't have a functional television, so that helps a lot. The only ads I have to deal with are the ones on various social sites. It's very liberating!
Opposition research. Why I still listen to NPR sometimes. Plenty of flat-out lies there, too. I like to study their strategies and laugh, try to edumacate my acquaintances.
I once wanted to do a big TV smashing ceremony. Have people being their TV's to a public place, bring sledgehammers and just take turns smashing them to bits. Eventually didn't try because of safety, all those glass shards and metal splinters flying around...
The TV isn't really the problem. Phones and computers can be just as bad. The TV is like a bottle of wine or a marijuana joint. Addiction to transactional dopamine rewards for habitual behavior is the real enemy.
That was back in the day, when smartphones weren't really a thing yet. Of course, I got phone-addicted like everybody else, even though I haven't had a TV at home for more than two decades. Been working on managing that addiction in recent years. With modest success...
I'm totally on board with loathing what's shown on TV in terms of "programs", new, shows etc. which I also stopped watching years ago but I consider the box itself just a means to an end that can be used for other purposes, not necessarily target practise.
A bit extreme and pious. There are networks that show ad-free foreign films (an interest of mine as a linguist) and documentaries, as well as being a necessity for watching any film or doc. you might buy or get from the library. This doesn't make you a sucker for advertising or brainwashing but is up to your choice.
I wonder what those of us who have the opposite reaction to TV and radio commercials have in common? When I was very young I started plugging my ears and making da da noises to cover up commercials; it was just a natural response for me. I always want to do the opposite of what people tell me to do.
A lot of popular music back in the eighties bothered me. I was a teenager which made it worse. Certain beats and instruments just disturbed me. Not all, but a lot. About anything heavy metal.
It wasn't the music: beats or instruments for me. Most ads I detested because they were trying to sell me something and were stopping me from enjoying what I was trying to enjoy (the movie/sitcom/cartoon etc) - although I do hear you. Some ads wanted to get your attention so badly and would do this in the most annoying ways eg bad music, irritating voices, horrible beats etc.
But some ads I actually quite liked because the ad was funny or dynamic and the music was good and it was a bit like watching a movie! But it didn't make me go out and buy the product - I just liked occasional ads for their artistic endeavours, I think! Mostly it was car ads, or alcohol ads that I liked. And I got my car license late and I've never ever been drunk and in fact have been a tee-totaller for years! So I'm pretty sure those ads didn't work on me! :-D
Perhaps it is that we like 'thinking' time when we have breaks from shows we're choosing to watch...but instead of being given thinking time, these in-your-face ads come on extra loud instead!
Hitting the mute button was always my first option. But I could still SEE the crap on the ads, so then I found myself leaving the room...and after a while I just didn't bother watching ANY TV. I also didn't like them trying to sell me stuff I didn't want (like someone trying to bug you whilst you're trying to go for a nice walk).
Maybe we're people who don't like to just do what we like to do, but we are people who need DOWNTIME as well. Ads don't give us the downtime/reflection time we need, they just keep on and on and on at you...until you crack and buy it or crack and lose your cool! :-D
People are MEANT to have downtime. To relax. To reflect. To think. Ads and TV, in general, aren't designed to make you think. So maybe we get cranky about it all because we would LIKE to think, and the idiot box is trying to turn us into an idiot instead of a critical thinker.
Oh GAWD How I hate that saying! Even last weekend I was at an orchestral performance in downtown Dallas where they had those signs everywhere in the outside hall. The strange part is: masks were not required (though “requested” for unvaccinated individuals.)
Well don't feel bad. I would drive around aimlessly, for hours, trying to figure out why I seemed to be the only person (and my wife) who wasn't hypnotized.
Can't tell you how many hours I wasted doing that.
My family didn't seem to notice the repetitions either. When I said, "What's this about the New Normal? Are these changes meant to be PERMANENT?" I was told to quit overreacting. They hadn't noticed the catch phrase. It was my imagination. No big deal. Eye rolling.
I told everyone I could that I rejected the idea of “a new normal”.
I asked why shouldn’t things revert to the actual normal?
A 100 yrs ago, give or take, after the Spanish flu, which was far deadlier and deadlier to the younger generation to boot, things returned to normal pretty quickly.
I showed ppl photos of packed college football stadiums in the fall of 1919. And reminded ppl that the baseball World Series scandal also happened that year. Baseball stadiums were also packed.
The Spanish Flu may well have been caused by, I think it was radar that came out then and began to be widely used...
They took volunteers and tried to spread this flu, going to great lengths to pass it from one person to another, even to the point of basically one spitting into another's mouth, etc...
NEVER ONCE, with all those volunteers, hundreds of them, I think, and also horses! did any of those "contaminated" ever come down with that flu.
Where I work still has plexiglass a guy started on at me “do you think this is gonna stop you getting it, you do realise it can go over or around it don’t you! “ this was a week ago, I was like you are talking to the wrong person, I’d be happy for them to be removed, I struggle to hear people through it… I understand what’s going on… he was like Oh!
I checked myself out of a hospital while recovering from a brain anyueurism because they wouldn't get me a room with no TV. Roommate was an addict, and I could not stand it.
Recovered fine at home. Had I stayed, I'd have gotten another anyeurism.
I’d like to think us being libertarian helped, but so many went along with it, and I found fellow medical freedom fighters from every political background, culture, race, etc.
On the other hand, Van Morrison tried to start a movement to resume live concerts and got nowhere except drawing a lot of personal attacks. When this went down, I was amazed by the nasty comments of people who had clearly bought into the propaganda. I thought Rolling Stone would have slightly more intelligent readers, or music lovers who would support live shows. Neither showed up.
Good for you and your husband. We have what mainstream psychologists have in recent years labeled as an oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). I defy and oppose all lies and propaganda about everything from everyone. Which has resulted in a happier, healthier, stable life of contentment on this end.
I had Covid pre-shut down and was in shock about the full court press propaganda against natural immunity and suppression of early treatment once we found out about ways to prevent serious infection.
Frankly, I don’t mind losing the people as friends that fell hook, line and sinker for the fake news and Fauxchi is science bait.
Pharma-Gov agents: Taking notes, to apply to further manipulation.
Edit: In addition to what Igor discusses here with Innoculation against something,
they also used Priming throughout 2019 -- priming people to respond with certain thoughts to certain issues. "Anti-vaxxer" content was hotly circulating, although the pediatric visits of a minority of parents is very far from relevant to most of our daily lives. Another circulating Priming motif was the "Okay Boomer" memes and videos, training the younger generation to discredit, devalue, and cast off the older generation: convenient before a pandemic especially endangering that target group.
Priming is regularly accomplished by providing labels for people -- a well-paid version of playground name-calling. Labels like 'Anti-science' were circulating before doctors even had a chance to talk with their patients about the shot: thus threatening anyone who dared not conform. 'Heroic essential workers' was ladeled out before they would need the massive army of hospital workers to acquiesce to giving the shots without questioning.
haha I was raised on it! My father brought it home telling my mother it was for the kids:) But he would read it cover to cover chuckling the whole time.
Judith this is me! "inherent distrust of authority or my oppositional personality and intense dislike of being told what to do," also I pay no attention to fact checkers because I do my own, I remember stuff and am a critical thinker (I looked it up)
I don't know why I resisted the narrative either. Probably when I first heard of this new vaccine technology (mRNA), and it only took a year to get to market when other vaccines take 10+ years to get to market.
The inability for the MSM to look at both sides of the issue, and ignore past studies with flu, especially about masks and viruses, was also a big red flag.
For some reason I also cannot be hypnotized by a pro, though I tried.
Someone online told us that every time he sees a commercial he has to rush out and buy the product. I told him I don't do that at all. He outright called me a liar. So apparently there are people who are easily manipulated and those who aren't. And probably some in between.
That’s crazy! I can’t imagine seeing a drug commercial and running out to get the advertised product. I actually wondered what dummies would do it. Two years later you see a commercial advertising help to sue if you or a loved one was injured by said product. 🙄 people are gullible.
Judith. You are exactly who they are after. Unless you know about mRNA, HOW IT WORKS, why it works, why it effected so many people, what dna program is inside ready to tell the body to attack itself when it has certain things go wrong, you won’t know. We need to come up with a data fact sheet and some stats.
There might be two types of people. People that get things and people that get things right. professor gloria of truthuniversity.co.uk has researched and differentiated between people that are intuitive and people that are sense driven. She recently went on tntradio "Skydragonslaying". Our search for continuing to undersatnd the divided conciousness continues.
Or those who think, and question. For them, for me, I always think, “ who is benefiting from this”? It was big pharmaceutical. Then ok, what about their track record, are they trustworthy? Pfizer has a 2.2 billion dollar criminal conviction in 2012. Moderna had never successfully brought a single product to market and a major shareholder was Fauci’s wife. Conflicts of interest? The CDC has its own CDC FOUNDATION which launders money from big pharmaceutical to the CDC.
Excellent teachers at a young age who demanded students to question everything. That first criminology class in law school--day one from the prof: “I’m going to teach you how to think like a criminal. Just don’t become one, and how to detect bullsh*t.” Best class ever. The experimental injection fraud was easy to spot.
Mom let me occasionally buy a Hardy Boys book at the supermarket. Then I noticed the Nancy Drew mysteries were basically the same thing, but the characters were less generic than the Hardy Boys. I also liked that the girls on the cover were cute!
If i had a modern mom I'd probably not even ask to get a Nancy Drew book out of fear i'd get slotted for gender reassignment.
Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Men. A sequel to Little Women about Jo and her husband Prof. Baehr running a school for boys together. About those boys.
It might continue because they don't play by anyone's rules, and have their infiltrators in high positions of society everywhere.
Nutrition: Simple: Eat as much fresh, raw, unadulterated, organically grown foods as you can manage. DO NOT EAT (or drink) ANYTHING that has undergone any processing for any reason. Now that's a tall order, but that's the "golden objective".
I’m not the sharpest dog on the tree, but “Covid”, like “Ukraine”, smelled of bullshit right out of the gate. The propaganda was just too shrill, and the media mafia accepted so many dubious propositions way too quickly, without even the slightest nod to the possibility that they could be wrong. With the jihad against repurposed drugs, only the most naïve could not see that the fix was in for the poison. The whole thing strained credulity from day 1.
I also knew from the get go something was very wrong. Never in my life did I hear of quarantining healthy people. The Censorship just confirmed it for me.
Also has to do with social pressure/group think/herd mentality as well belief in the infallibility of their doctors. Has nothing to do with smarts or success. It’s amazing who I’ve seen turn into obedient sheep.
Yes. That and having critical thinking skills, not following the crowd, not being afraid to differ, willing to take the risk of losing "friends" and even some family. It means being immune to social pressure. Many I know are not.
I’ve been a health bodybuilder nut for 30 years doing what is currently called “bro science”. Stayed away from big food, big ag, and big Pharma. They operate as a mafia with you as their victims. It’s just gotten REALLY bad
You're following a health model of personal strength.
The standard medical system seems to feed on weakness. There is a predator-prey dynamic that is frequently reverted to, with med workers being potently stimulated when they encounter weaker targets. The more vulnerable the victim, the more the scales are tipped against them in receiving objective treatment.
Two patients come in with the same complaint, but the person with the alpha personality will manage to be on par with the people in white coats, thus establish a fine relationship and walk out with a respectful diagnosis. Whereas another patient who shows vulnerability, subservience, dependence, insecurity will be more likely to receive condescending treatment, perhaps not get the needed tests, and have a higher likelihood of getting derogatory diagnoses insinuating that their physical complaints are psychological, or eventually being given 13 different medications to manage all of their problems.
Bunch of movies, songs and TV shows my friends went gaga over. "Dirty Dancing," "Splash," "Family Ties," "Twins." Songs by Madonna and the Bengles and lots of others.
"If you are really, REALLY in love, you have to show it by going to bed with him."
The pop culture sure shaped how the majority of girls my age thought. They didn't even see how they were being affected in their choices.
My generation was mostly concerned about pregnancy, so that kept us from taking TOO many chances, but I won’t say “no chances.” It was an interesting time to live.
An important attribute is not watching TV. I did not see any 'breaking news' or 'just in' or fear porn nonsense. I'm no great intellect, so I attribute my insight to knowledge I gained from Polley Tommey, Vaxxed-Bus interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Suzanne Humphries, Sherri Tenpenny, Del Bigtree and others. I used to be left-leaning progressive, so running up to the 2016 election, I saw some of my old fav magazines, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, The Nation, The Progressive come out and endorse Hillary. I recoiled and quit reading/supporting them. They did not have to endorse anyone, but revealed they were ideologues, and I was crushed. I was doubly crushed to see most all of these left-leaning people roll over for the blatant lie of the government. It's been a rough 2.8 years.
You are a STRONG individual. Especially since you had to resist your own political ideological leanings.
Wow. I admire that.
Whatever happened to these types of liberals:
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
Er.. they did? Savio born 1942. Rothbard born 1926. Sowell born 1930. So when Savio did his speech in 1964 he'd have been 22 years old and Rothbard would have had his PhD for 8 years.
Turns out Savio produced nothing noteworthy after his Berkeley speech, while Rothbard churned out respected treatises in economics, political philosophy and history.
Savio's 1964 statement for freedom and against war is a good indication that he might have graduated from leftie to libertarian by the right conversation at the right time.
Walter Block loves to tell (and retell) his story of conversion from pinko commie to libertarian by a chance encounter with Randians. Michael Rechtenwald is another successful conversion, though he popped-out of his purgatory largely due to the recent woke witch-hunt.
Don't mistake me for libertarian though. It's just the freshman-level basics of ethics and economics. There are realities libertarians are wilfully blind-to.
B.C. (Before Covid) we got rid of cable, Netflix, Amazon, and all social media. I do believe that this helped us to avoid any sort of indoctrination simply because we weren't watching any msm including Fox News with their daily death ticker. Instead, I was driven to the very sources the powers that be sought to silence. The key is not being a part of ANY mainstream media and that includes Fox or Newsmax which is controlled opp.
Great comment, but my critique of Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, The Nation etc wouldn't so much be that they're 'ideologues', but rather that they're whores to money+power.
They'll spin 180° on an issue if the cabal snaps their fingers.
Very few people care enough about ideology to introspect to do the housekeeping to work through and straighten out contradictory positions they have absorbed.
WORD!!! Mary Lou, you put it so well, and there's nothing wrong or less-than about your intellect.
I was sooooo pissed off about the magazines, too-- the New Yorker, and the NY-er page on Facebook was full of absolute toadies for the "Fascist New Fake Left" --what I call 'em, I just made that up. And the ATLANTIC!! That used to be a really good read. But I went back and re-read some of their issues from before 2020; they were fickling well early... Seems all these "lefties," ie, FASCISTS were gearing up and knew something was going on. Anyway, good comment.
We know there has been an extraordinary collusion or group think when it comes to printed media along with TV media. To say it out loud to an uninformed person, it sounds preposterous, but in fact it is true. The Economist, Scientific American, and sadly the revered medical journals are also part of the collusion. Most often behind this betrayal of objective journalism are the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's generous donations. A classic example of the infiltration is Keele University in the UK. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/university-shuts-down-aluminum-experts-research/ and another is Peter Christian Gøtzsche is a Danish physician, medical researcher, and former leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center. This too has been corrupted.
Absolutely. If I ever, which is RARE, try to explain a bit to someone who is living the Dream, I am acutely aware how crazy and paranoid I sound... and I tell them, yeah, it IS crazy, but I'm not paranoid. Doesn't do any good, usually. They give me That Look. I pretty much never do try to inform people, except my folks, hoping it will "stick" and they won't get any more shots.
Yep. My 29-year-old daughter thinks I'm nuts. She smirked and asked me if I believe in Reptilian People (in the David Icke mode) I just said, 'not yet'.
Exactly this. The Gates Foundation donated hundreds of thousands/millions to the media. Worse, he donated hundreds of thousands/millions to the journalism schools. Most kids that come out of these programs are essentially employees of the Gates Foundation. Every notice many recent grads are in top positions in television and print media these days? Legit journalists who are not part of the current system were purged during the Obama years.
First time I've come across this SUPER pertinent question. Makes one wonder for sure! I tend to disagree with your conclusion, but can offer no alternative except maybe a vague, "blue-pill" effect.
I go with salvation army clothes. I'm so happy it's so cheap. I've been called homeless by many. A homeless gentleman demanded I take his food... I refused2,3times saying I'm not homeless.
Don't be afraid to say you're homeless, he told me...
I agree. I was pointing out the lies and inconsistencies from March 2020 so my husband was fully informed and not bothered about getting the vaccines until eventually the peer pressure became too much. He wanted a jab because he was embarrassed he didn't have one - not just by his friends but by strangers - for example the hotel or restaurant treating us like outcasts. Or a client finding out he didn't have one - oh the shame! Fortunately I convinced him to hold out and we made it through unjabbed but it was incredible to me that someone so intelligent and confident would be willing to take it due to peer pressure alone. Frankly, I was lucky his work didn't require it. Actually it wasn't luck. Thank you, GOD.
It’s really quite simple. Robust and truthful information requires no props: subterfuge, ad hominem attacks, hyperbole, strawmaning of arguments, misrepresentation, omissions, coverups etc. This is what all false information has as its feature. It’s unavoidable because they are attempting deceive so they must use deceptive tactics which can never be hidden in full. Conversely, the truth is always presented in dispassionate language, complete with links to evidence. It is clear and concise and attempts to persuade through the weight of its evidence and precision of its language. A disinformation piece - and the fact-checked ones are always guilty of this, use inflammatory language, are a jumble of ideas and half baked notions, they make assertions with no evidence, they strawman constantly and belittle the intellect of their readers. The difference couldn’t be more noticeable.
Most people fall into the trap because they are time poor and their minds are exhausted from working etc. They don’t have the inclination to read widely or to seek out multiple sources, check references, follow up on further readings etc. In short they are lazy and just want to be told what to think. A dumbed-down msm “news” article ticks all the boxes they need.
Very well said. From day one I knew the news was fake on this subject (among many others). There was unbounded sensationalism and everyone was saying exactly the same thing. I said "where are all the dissenting voices?? I learned critical thinking and debate in school and am always averse to people telling me what I should do. Made the sham obvious to me.
I knew intuitively that there was a propaganda operation in process but I hadn't particularly formulated a reason why. Thanks for your interesting analysis.
My son was vaccine injured 16 years ago. This was when I finally took the time to research vaccines. No one in my family has ever had another vaccine after I went down that rabbit hole. It's limited my career as an RN but in all honesty, I have no regrets. I was able to avoid all masking and vaccine requirements during COVID and never participated in the mass genocide that has gone on in our health care institutions.
My son was vaccine injured 17 years ago. I refused to acknowledge the cause until late 2020. Immediate family was bitterly split on the issue, with some pointing to the obvious and others refusing to see it. I was in the latter group. I have since apologized.
Not to take anything at all away from your son - so sorry to hear of his injury, but this is somewhat new to me - can autism be considered as a possible form of vax injury? The thought is so abhorrent to me (that my grandson was intentionally injured) that I can hardly bear it, but I need to know: is autism after vax a likelihood?
My son suffers from several health problems that kicked in strongly shortly after a childhood vaccination series. Autism is one the them. There's no proof, thus my years of denial, but the timing match is perfect.
I am remiss. Let me say I am very sorry for your son, and for you.
But don't give up... The human body can heal from many, many things, at least partly, if given the right tools... You have your mission... As I said to G Harkness, above, there may be some good research available somewhere on Substack... team up, maybe? Investigate! You'll learn all kinds of things. Anyway, good luck. xo
Going through all my emails/comments is like dogs digging a hole... Very fast, focused, and intent on DIGGING. We're still warm-hearted beings on a page on some wire... xo
It's almost a sure thing. Yes, sadly, the answer is yes. Direct correlation. A good place to look into this is the Children's Health Defense, where RFK, Jr. is Lead Attorney, or whatever his title is...
In 1940, cases of autism were like one in 100,000. Now, for boys, it's ONE IN EIGHT.
This amped up right along with the amping up of vaccines and the amounts of them, and when they were given getting younger and younger... even on DAY ONE of a child's life.
I'm so sorry for your grandson. Knowledge is power. xo
Heart button and updates in general (like comment edits) often take a while to appear on your page.
You can do a browser page refresh (control-R) and when the page reloads, you'll see your heart, but you'll have to rescroll down to the post you were on.
I just click heart and know substack registers it, but doesn't always refresh my page.
It has to swallow first. Substack isn't like Facebook... It didn't have the CIA doing all the back-end tech, so it's a bit slow sometimes. If you click slowly, it often lights right up...
YES! (Exclaimed loudly, but with much remorse for having to voice this knowledge)
Yes, indeed it is STRONGLY suspect, but not, of course, by the sacred industry. I just watched or read (can't remember which) a distinguished doctor bringing the thing into clarity. He explained (micro-biologically) that our brains are fed with super small capillaries (as are other organs) and rely on no obstructions to interfere with the blood flow. When compromised, motor-skills and no doubt other brain-related activity (is there ANY activity NOT related?) becomes mal-functioning. Blood-flow obstruction was the factor which the doctor pointed to in Autism as well as so many other dysfunction maladies. Whatever the biological pathway, a distinct connection can be drawn if one superimposes two charts: a graph showing the increasing incidence of the many neurological "diseases" occurring for the past 50 years, and a graph of the increasingly popular "vaccine" shots for the same years/decades.
There was a doc who had a large cohort of unvaxxed kids and tracked their health issues over a couple decades. Huge difference, autism among them.
I think the causal biology is different than you described, but the presentation I saw was way beyond my understanding, so I can't begin to summarize it.
Honestly I'm not really sure why I've resisted all aspects of the covid narrative. Maybe it's just my inherent distrust of authority or my oppositional personality and intense dislike of being told what to do. It helps that I have a like minded husband who couldn't care less about the friends we've lost and has kept us moving forward and never looked back.
I dislike being lied to. Commercials annoy me no end.
Totally my schtick. I've got a giant bullshit detector from this affliction in-built and boy did this all smell like Bullshit.
When people get used to the smell and taste of bullshit, it's almost like they need their bullshit on a daily basis.
as a musician just the sound of their stupid intonated voice-overs give me the shits but for most it is just a sweet melody of a lullaby
Same
Ha ha. Me too. That all started when I was a teenager. We have not had a TV connected for years now, only DVDs!
Ditto!
Good idea, I hit the mute button a lot.
Brings to mind an invention dreamed of by yours truly; A device that automatically takes note of the slight difference between the averaged, detected volume of the show you're watching, and the ads that interfere (which have a higher volume, intentionally), and automatically shut off their obnoxious audio invasion. Would that not be great? And the first to develop such a simple device, would be a "threat" to all involved, and possibly be bought out (quieted) for millions. But it might not be "simple" as I thought.
You're not the only one who's dreamed of that invention. My guess is that it was patented years ago, and that after selling it to the networks, the inventor is living on a private beach somewhere in the Caribbean.
I'd be dead without it... ;)
😄 Love the honesty you’ve shown here. I have a love/hate relationship with my
TV.
Good idea with the dvd's. I bought the Waltons complete 9 seasons and movie specials last year. Still enjoyable, clean family programming to this day. I enjoyed Lindsey Wagnor's Bionic Woman 3 season series last year too. I wish they would put the 1991 The Home Front series and NY Undercover series on DVD. I too like programming that allows people to draw their own conclusions. I like the old westerns too. Grabbed a John Wayne collection a few months ago for about $25. No one telling me what to feel or to believe in that type of programming.
I have been enjoying Mr Bean and Fawlty Towers.
You can't beat Fawlty Towers!!! I terminated my cable subscription two months ago and I feel like my brain has been freed from prison. It's all Amazon Prime and Paramount + at my house (two hours per day) and I feel well-entertained & not burdened with lies.
I've been doing the DVD thing since I shut off the boob tube 20 years ago.
Favorite series (old). Good Neighbors, Yes Minister.
Same here. The only relatively new thing I really love is "Johnny English"😍
My family used to tell me shut up and just watch when I pointed out the false pretenses put forth as fact in movies, TV shows and commercials.
I solved that by assuming that everything I saw on TV was fiction. It's served me well so far.
Mine, too. I'd be outraged, arguing with a TV screen, LOL.
Now I just have to LEAVE. :P
Why do you watch them? I don't. Actually I don't have a functional television, so that helps a lot. The only ads I have to deal with are the ones on various social sites. It's very liberating!
Opposition research. Why I still listen to NPR sometimes. Plenty of flat-out lies there, too. I like to study their strategies and laugh, try to edumacate my acquaintances.
I do that too! Any time I’m in my car, I tune into NPR just to see what they are “up to” today.
True liberation is kicking your TV out a 20-story window...
Of course, bricks right through the screen work well, too.
I once wanted to do a big TV smashing ceremony. Have people being their TV's to a public place, bring sledgehammers and just take turns smashing them to bits. Eventually didn't try because of safety, all those glass shards and metal splinters flying around...
The TV isn't really the problem. Phones and computers can be just as bad. The TV is like a bottle of wine or a marijuana joint. Addiction to transactional dopamine rewards for habitual behavior is the real enemy.
That was back in the day, when smartphones weren't really a thing yet. Of course, I got phone-addicted like everybody else, even though I haven't had a TV at home for more than two decades. Been working on managing that addiction in recent years. With modest success...
It would make a great cartoon, tho! ;)
Years ago, I used to fantasize about taking my sawed-off 3" mag 12 ga. and giving my TV an "adjustment".
I'm totally on board with loathing what's shown on TV in terms of "programs", new, shows etc. which I also stopped watching years ago but I consider the box itself just a means to an end that can be used for other purposes, not necessarily target practise.
Don't be a baby. Throw wet sponges at it, then! ;)
Of course. I never did it, but looking back, I think it was more out of fear that I'd be jailed for it.
The way we really could shoot our way out of this mess. Lol
Me, too... I hate your TV.
MY tv? Who let you in the house?
A bit extreme and pious. There are networks that show ad-free foreign films (an interest of mine as a linguist) and documentaries, as well as being a necessity for watching any film or doc. you might buy or get from the library. This doesn't make you a sucker for advertising or brainwashing but is up to your choice.
My goodness, that was an ATTEMPT at humor.
^_^
I found that failing to pay the cable bill has essentially the same effect.

Hey, I've never seen his face before. Good song. :)
Family members. Concessions. Boring but marriage has lasted. Kids happy but most maybe a bit dumber than me..ha ha
I wonder what those of us who have the opposite reaction to TV and radio commercials have in common? When I was very young I started plugging my ears and making da da noises to cover up commercials; it was just a natural response for me. I always want to do the opposite of what people tell me to do.
A lot of popular music back in the eighties bothered me. I was a teenager which made it worse. Certain beats and instruments just disturbed me. Not all, but a lot. About anything heavy metal.
It wasn't the music: beats or instruments for me. Most ads I detested because they were trying to sell me something and were stopping me from enjoying what I was trying to enjoy (the movie/sitcom/cartoon etc) - although I do hear you. Some ads wanted to get your attention so badly and would do this in the most annoying ways eg bad music, irritating voices, horrible beats etc.
But some ads I actually quite liked because the ad was funny or dynamic and the music was good and it was a bit like watching a movie! But it didn't make me go out and buy the product - I just liked occasional ads for their artistic endeavours, I think! Mostly it was car ads, or alcohol ads that I liked. And I got my car license late and I've never ever been drunk and in fact have been a tee-totaller for years! So I'm pretty sure those ads didn't work on me! :-D
Perhaps it is that we like 'thinking' time when we have breaks from shows we're choosing to watch...but instead of being given thinking time, these in-your-face ads come on extra loud instead!
Hitting the mute button was always my first option. But I could still SEE the crap on the ads, so then I found myself leaving the room...and after a while I just didn't bother watching ANY TV. I also didn't like them trying to sell me stuff I didn't want (like someone trying to bug you whilst you're trying to go for a nice walk).
Maybe we're people who don't like to just do what we like to do, but we are people who need DOWNTIME as well. Ads don't give us the downtime/reflection time we need, they just keep on and on and on at you...until you crack and buy it or crack and lose your cool! :-D
People are MEANT to have downtime. To relax. To reflect. To think. Ads and TV, in general, aren't designed to make you think. So maybe we get cranky about it all because we would LIKE to think, and the idiot box is trying to turn us into an idiot instead of a critical thinker.
Ditto!
intense dislike of being told what to do*
"My mask protects you"
GAME OVER!
Oh GAWD How I hate that saying! Even last weekend I was at an orchestral performance in downtown Dallas where they had those signs everywhere in the outside hall. The strange part is: masks were not required (though “requested” for unvaccinated individuals.)
Sheesh.
Right?! Makes me want to puke.
All those signs, placards, plexiglass, etc. will be relics of shame in the future.
wE'eR aLl iN iT toGHeTheR!!!
My closed movie theater had its marquee for over a year saying "ALONE TOGETHER"
Had to drive a different route; I kept throwing up and hollering at no one actually in the car with me.
Well don't feel bad. I would drive around aimlessly, for hours, trying to figure out why I seemed to be the only person (and my wife) who wasn't hypnotized.
Can't tell you how many hours I wasted doing that.
I can relate.
Isn't it stunning, how many people we've watched succumb? That was quite bewildering, still often is.
Maybe not a waste... therapy.
How dare they use that quote for their propaganda! It's the name of a great Dave Mason album.
That's right! Thanks for the wake-up! I forgot about that.
OH really? I had no idea--just thought it was more of the vapid insanity. Sucks even harder for his fans!
I do not know why I can’t “heart” this, but just know: yes.
My family didn't seem to notice the repetitions either. When I said, "What's this about the New Normal? Are these changes meant to be PERMANENT?" I was told to quit overreacting. They hadn't noticed the catch phrase. It was my imagination. No big deal. Eye rolling.
I told everyone I could that I rejected the idea of “a new normal”.
I asked why shouldn’t things revert to the actual normal?
A 100 yrs ago, give or take, after the Spanish flu, which was far deadlier and deadlier to the younger generation to boot, things returned to normal pretty quickly.
I showed ppl photos of packed college football stadiums in the fall of 1919. And reminded ppl that the baseball World Series scandal also happened that year. Baseball stadiums were also packed.
The Spanish Flu may well have been caused by, I think it was radar that came out then and began to be widely used...
They took volunteers and tried to spread this flu, going to great lengths to pass it from one person to another, even to the point of basically one spitting into another's mouth, etc...
NEVER ONCE, with all those volunteers, hundreds of them, I think, and also horses! did any of those "contaminated" ever come down with that flu.
Imagine, it was EMF's!!!
so frustrating
My dad listened to me and was questioning. He's got dementia, but he's still a critical thinker!
My mom looks at me like I'm a precocious, but paranoid, child.
My brothers are furious, punishing, trying to push me out of the family. There's only five of us.
So after much fuckery, upset, rage on all sides, I'm just going Zen and stepping back.
Sorry to hear that. I would counsel you to pray for them.
Remember Jesus’ prayer: forgive them Father they know not what they do.
NO, wE'rE NoT-- YOur'E In iT tIL DeATh dO yOU paRT, bUH ByE. Booooooom.
Where I work still has plexiglass a guy started on at me “do you think this is gonna stop you getting it, you do realise it can go over or around it don’t you! “ this was a week ago, I was like you are talking to the wrong person, I’d be happy for them to be removed, I struggle to hear people through it… I understand what’s going on… he was like Oh!
Almost a year later and they’re still up,
Plexiglass sheets all over the place.
AND, they are making noises about doing it all over again.....
HELL NO !!!
most places taken them down!!
I checked myself out of a hospital while recovering from a brain anyueurism because they wouldn't get me a room with no TV. Roommate was an addict, and I could not stand it.
Recovered fine at home. Had I stayed, I'd have gotten another anyeurism.
Wow. Best wishes for your recovery!
Closed-cell foam earplugs work great. Cheap, too.
Yes, the "mask protects you" is so contrived. I really do not know how people fall for this stuff.
Fear was a luxury. Cowardness was an indulgence. Both were incentivized and exploited during the pandemic.
The former as a weapon. The later as a way to inoculate against empathy
It isn't her fault, but I couldn't watch my favorite ballerina. . . . OMG!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mOWH8bjm1c
I knew. She's one of the best ever.
My daughter idolizes her. But she told me she thought she was a dummy for wearing the masks.
But I guess she had to...or wouldn't be able to do what she lives.
It isn't her fault, but I couldn't watch my favorite ballerina. . . .OMG!

Self employed so I’m not good at listening to people tell me what to do
Congrats on standing strong and staying unvaxxed!
I think you might have cause and effect reversed.
I’d like to think us being libertarian helped, but so many went along with it, and I found fellow medical freedom fighters from every political background, culture, race, etc.
On the other hand, Van Morrison tried to start a movement to resume live concerts and got nowhere except drawing a lot of personal attacks. When this went down, I was amazed by the nasty comments of people who had clearly bought into the propaganda. I thought Rolling Stone would have slightly more intelligent readers, or music lovers who would support live shows. Neither showed up.
Clap did a nice interview on RFK jr Defender podcast.
Good for you and your husband. We have what mainstream psychologists have in recent years labeled as an oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). I defy and oppose all lies and propaganda about everything from everyone. Which has resulted in a happier, healthier, stable life of contentment on this end.
turns out its not a " disorder" after all, like so much that is maligned and considered " a condition" in the mainstream ; ))
sane reaction to insane world...
I don't consider ODD to be a disorder. There are other things labeled as mental or physical disorders that probably are not as well.
Probably most of them
Ditto! On all, hate being told what to do, oppositional personality and husband is so the same!
'Any relation to Clyde?
Just kidding
Sounds like we could be friends.
I had Covid pre-shut down and was in shock about the full court press propaganda against natural immunity and suppression of early treatment once we found out about ways to prevent serious infection.
Frankly, I don’t mind losing the people as friends that fell hook, line and sinker for the fake news and Fauxchi is science bait.

Pharma-Gov agents: Taking notes, to apply to further manipulation.
Edit: In addition to what Igor discusses here with Innoculation against something,
they also used Priming throughout 2019 -- priming people to respond with certain thoughts to certain issues. "Anti-vaxxer" content was hotly circulating, although the pediatric visits of a minority of parents is very far from relevant to most of our daily lives. Another circulating Priming motif was the "Okay Boomer" memes and videos, training the younger generation to discredit, devalue, and cast off the older generation: convenient before a pandemic especially endangering that target group.
Priming is regularly accomplished by providing labels for people -- a well-paid version of playground name-calling. Labels like 'Anti-science' were circulating before doctors even had a chance to talk with their patients about the shot: thus threatening anyone who dared not conform. 'Heroic essential workers' was ladeled out before they would need the massive army of hospital workers to acquiesce to giving the shots without questioning.
Everything I need to know I learned from Mad Magazine.
haha I was raised on it! My father brought it home telling my mother it was for the kids:) But he would read it cover to cover chuckling the whole time.
Judith this is me! "inherent distrust of authority or my oppositional personality and intense dislike of being told what to do," also I pay no attention to fact checkers because I do my own, I remember stuff and am a critical thinker (I looked it up)
I don't know why I resisted the narrative either. Probably when I first heard of this new vaccine technology (mRNA), and it only took a year to get to market when other vaccines take 10+ years to get to market.
The inability for the MSM to look at both sides of the issue, and ignore past studies with flu, especially about masks and viruses, was also a big red flag.
For some reason I also cannot be hypnotized by a pro, though I tried.
Someone online told us that every time he sees a commercial he has to rush out and buy the product. I told him I don't do that at all. He outright called me a liar. So apparently there are people who are easily manipulated and those who aren't. And probably some in between.
That’s crazy! I can’t imagine seeing a drug commercial and running out to get the advertised product. I actually wondered what dummies would do it. Two years later you see a commercial advertising help to sue if you or a loved one was injured by said product. 🙄 people are gullible.
Judith. You are exactly who they are after. Unless you know about mRNA, HOW IT WORKS, why it works, why it effected so many people, what dna program is inside ready to tell the body to attack itself when it has certain things go wrong, you won’t know. We need to come up with a data fact sheet and some stats.
Wow! Who could do that? And even if it could be done, they'd just fact-check it down, and debunk it some devious way.
Great can-do attitude there Ray... *slow clap
There might be two types of people. People that get things and people that get things right. professor gloria of truthuniversity.co.uk has researched and differentiated between people that are intuitive and people that are sense driven. She recently went on tntradio "Skydragonslaying". Our search for continuing to undersatnd the divided conciousness continues.
Or those who think, and question. For them, for me, I always think, “ who is benefiting from this”? It was big pharmaceutical. Then ok, what about their track record, are they trustworthy? Pfizer has a 2.2 billion dollar criminal conviction in 2012. Moderna had never successfully brought a single product to market and a major shareholder was Fauci’s wife. Conflicts of interest? The CDC has its own CDC FOUNDATION which launders money from big pharmaceutical to the CDC.
Interesting. Thx for this Carol!
He’s a keeper 👍
Excellent teachers at a young age who demanded students to question everything. That first criminology class in law school--day one from the prof: “I’m going to teach you how to think like a criminal. Just don’t become one, and how to detect bullsh*t.” Best class ever. The experimental injection fraud was easy to spot.
Nice, for me - Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew, Harriet the Spy.
Columbo!

thanks so much for this!!!
Mom let me occasionally buy a Hardy Boys book at the supermarket. Then I noticed the Nancy Drew mysteries were basically the same thing, but the characters were less generic than the Hardy Boys. I also liked that the girls on the cover were cute!
If i had a modern mom I'd probably not even ask to get a Nancy Drew book out of fear i'd get slotted for gender reassignment.
Oh man, I loved those books! Harriet with her beloved Ole Golly and her. tomato sandwiches
The Famous Five series by Enid Blyton. BRILLIANT!
5 Little Peppers was my mom's old book that I read over and over. Wholesome sort of like Little Women but with boys.
Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Men. A sequel to Little Women about Jo and her husband Prof. Baehr running a school for boys together. About those boys.
Ah, in the days where they actually TAUGHT people how to think!! :-D
I enjoyed learning about Chiropractic Philosophy. It opened my brain so wide!
Come over and teach me? Pleeeeeeze?
But I want so much to go to school and become a Holistic Nutritionist... Maybe if I'm still alive when this shit is OVER!!
It might continue because they don't play by anyone's rules, and have their infiltrators in high positions of society everywhere.
Nutrition: Simple: Eat as much fresh, raw, unadulterated, organically grown foods as you can manage. DO NOT EAT (or drink) ANYTHING that has undergone any processing for any reason. Now that's a tall order, but that's the "golden objective".
Yesh. This is the Best Way.
For cows!
Mmmmmm?
You have better idea?
Robyn, I have a dear friend..MD turned chiropractor…he is a GURU!!!! Have learned a great deal from him…a gifted medical intuit.
Second Roman Law class at University, from the prof : That student who dresses as a priest hasn't come today ?
I’m not the sharpest dog on the tree, but “Covid”, like “Ukraine”, smelled of bullshit right out of the gate. The propaganda was just too shrill, and the media mafia accepted so many dubious propositions way too quickly, without even the slightest nod to the possibility that they could be wrong. With the jihad against repurposed drugs, only the most naïve could not see that the fix was in for the poison. The whole thing strained credulity from day 1.
I also knew from the get go something was very wrong. Never in my life did I hear of quarantining healthy people. The Censorship just confirmed it for me.
You write very well, and i almost did a coffee-geyser at 'sharpest dog on the tree'. :)
Also has to do with social pressure/group think/herd mentality as well belief in the infallibility of their doctors. Has nothing to do with smarts or success. It’s amazing who I’ve seen turn into obedient sheep.
Damn good point.
What do you think is the single most important attribute to resisting all this propaganda?
My sense is that it boils down to those who are comfortable in their own skin.
It seems that's necessary to overcome social tyranny.
Yes. That and having critical thinking skills, not following the crowd, not being afraid to differ, willing to take the risk of losing "friends" and even some family. It means being immune to social pressure. Many I know are not.
I’ve been a health bodybuilder nut for 30 years doing what is currently called “bro science”. Stayed away from big food, big ag, and big Pharma. They operate as a mafia with you as their victims. It’s just gotten REALLY bad
You're following a health model of personal strength.
The standard medical system seems to feed on weakness. There is a predator-prey dynamic that is frequently reverted to, with med workers being potently stimulated when they encounter weaker targets. The more vulnerable the victim, the more the scales are tipped against them in receiving objective treatment.
Two patients come in with the same complaint, but the person with the alpha personality will manage to be on par with the people in white coats, thus establish a fine relationship and walk out with a respectful diagnosis. Whereas another patient who shows vulnerability, subservience, dependence, insecurity will be more likely to receive condescending treatment, perhaps not get the needed tests, and have a higher likelihood of getting derogatory diagnoses insinuating that their physical complaints are psychological, or eventually being given 13 different medications to manage all of their problems.
I'd rather die.
I've lost family, most of my friends, job... I'd rather die anyway.
Damn the torpedoes.
You only live once. Let's think that there will surely be fun and good things in life.
I'm sure there is.
I want to believe....
Without straining.
Yeah; you had to be willing to pay a "price" right?
Not many were....no matter how small the price.
As a teen I resisted the message fed to us everywhere that hopping into bed with a guy we just met would lead to lifelong love.
‘Oooh, Dr Fauci! So you really looove me.’ Oh
A lot of women really dig the BDSM masks he tells them to wear.
Well, it COULD... just not with that guy. ;)
Who in the world told you that? (Just curious, no response actually needed, but that's very odd.)
Bunch of movies, songs and TV shows my friends went gaga over. "Dirty Dancing," "Splash," "Family Ties," "Twins." Songs by Madonna and the Bengles and lots of others.
"If you are really, REALLY in love, you have to show it by going to bed with him."
The pop culture sure shaped how the majority of girls my age thought. They didn't even see how they were being affected in their choices.
My generation was mostly concerned about pregnancy, so that kept us from taking TOO many chances, but I won’t say “no chances.” It was an interesting time to live.
That’s terrible, but understandable on your part. I assume you are “over that” at this point.
“Odd” = HORRIBLE. Shame on them. I didn’t characterize it correctly to start with.
An important attribute is not watching TV. I did not see any 'breaking news' or 'just in' or fear porn nonsense. I'm no great intellect, so I attribute my insight to knowledge I gained from Polley Tommey, Vaxxed-Bus interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Suzanne Humphries, Sherri Tenpenny, Del Bigtree and others. I used to be left-leaning progressive, so running up to the 2016 election, I saw some of my old fav magazines, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, The Nation, The Progressive come out and endorse Hillary. I recoiled and quit reading/supporting them. They did not have to endorse anyone, but revealed they were ideologues, and I was crushed. I was doubly crushed to see most all of these left-leaning people roll over for the blatant lie of the government. It's been a rough 2.8 years.
You are a STRONG individual. Especially since you had to resist your own political ideological leanings.
Wow. I admire that.
Whatever happened to these types of liberals:
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
- Mario Savio
Thank you for your kind words and the quote.
Yes!
Imagine if Savio had just spent one evening with Murray Rothbard :)
OMG. Exactly. Or Sowell ...if they had lived in same period.
Er.. they did? Savio born 1942. Rothbard born 1926. Sowell born 1930. So when Savio did his speech in 1964 he'd have been 22 years old and Rothbard would have had his PhD for 8 years.
Turns out Savio produced nothing noteworthy after his Berkeley speech, while Rothbard churned out respected treatises in economics, political philosophy and history.
Savio's 1964 statement for freedom and against war is a good indication that he might have graduated from leftie to libertarian by the right conversation at the right time.
Walter Block loves to tell (and retell) his story of conversion from pinko commie to libertarian by a chance encounter with Randians. Michael Rechtenwald is another successful conversion, though he popped-out of his purgatory largely due to the recent woke witch-hunt.
Don't mistake me for libertarian though. It's just the freshman-level basics of ethics and economics. There are realities libertarians are wilfully blind-to.
B.C. (Before Covid) we got rid of cable, Netflix, Amazon, and all social media. I do believe that this helped us to avoid any sort of indoctrination simply because we weren't watching any msm including Fox News with their daily death ticker. Instead, I was driven to the very sources the powers that be sought to silence. The key is not being a part of ANY mainstream media and that includes Fox or Newsmax which is controlled opp.
Great comment, but my critique of Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, The Nation etc wouldn't so much be that they're 'ideologues', but rather that they're whores to money+power.
They'll spin 180° on an issue if the cabal snaps their fingers.
Very few people care enough about ideology to introspect to do the housekeeping to work through and straighten out contradictory positions they have absorbed.
WORD!!! Mary Lou, you put it so well, and there's nothing wrong or less-than about your intellect.
I was sooooo pissed off about the magazines, too-- the New Yorker, and the NY-er page on Facebook was full of absolute toadies for the "Fascist New Fake Left" --what I call 'em, I just made that up. And the ATLANTIC!! That used to be a really good read. But I went back and re-read some of their issues from before 2020; they were fickling well early... Seems all these "lefties," ie, FASCISTS were gearing up and knew something was going on. Anyway, good comment.
We know there has been an extraordinary collusion or group think when it comes to printed media along with TV media. To say it out loud to an uninformed person, it sounds preposterous, but in fact it is true. The Economist, Scientific American, and sadly the revered medical journals are also part of the collusion. Most often behind this betrayal of objective journalism are the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's generous donations. A classic example of the infiltration is Keele University in the UK. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/university-shuts-down-aluminum-experts-research/ and another is Peter Christian Gøtzsche is a Danish physician, medical researcher, and former leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center. This too has been corrupted.
Absolutely. If I ever, which is RARE, try to explain a bit to someone who is living the Dream, I am acutely aware how crazy and paranoid I sound... and I tell them, yeah, it IS crazy, but I'm not paranoid. Doesn't do any good, usually. They give me That Look. I pretty much never do try to inform people, except my folks, hoping it will "stick" and they won't get any more shots.
Yep. My 29-year-old daughter thinks I'm nuts. She smirked and asked me if I believe in Reptilian People (in the David Icke mode) I just said, 'not yet'.
Exactly this. The Gates Foundation donated hundreds of thousands/millions to the media. Worse, he donated hundreds of thousands/millions to the journalism schools. Most kids that come out of these programs are essentially employees of the Gates Foundation. Every notice many recent grads are in top positions in television and print media these days? Legit journalists who are not part of the current system were purged during the Obama years.
Welcome to reality
Eggs-zactly!
And dumping the two-party system, which is a load of horse pucky anyway.

And the other part is, "Don't tell me what to do!" ^_^
That's a thread all through this post, and I'm on it, too.
NOW FUCK OFF, FAUXXI YOU STINKFISH BUGSHIT MAFIABOSS DIXXHEAD! Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja
LOLOLOL!....:-]
First time I've come across this SUPER pertinent question. Makes one wonder for sure! I tend to disagree with your conclusion, but can offer no alternative except maybe a vague, "blue-pill" effect.
So you don't really disagree with me......;)
Vanity, lack of imagination, and mental laziness. If you believe Loreal means "I'm worth it" you'll fall for these propaganda bites.
IMAGINATION!
Huge one.
I go with salvation army clothes. I'm so happy it's so cheap. I've been called homeless by many. A homeless gentleman demanded I take his food... I refused2,3times saying I'm not homeless.
Don't be afraid to say you're homeless, he told me...
Comedy just doesn't get any more subtly intense than this!
I know I dress down... But....
I love telling my wife beetlejuice, ie, dead guy, Gaga's been after me for years....
I agree. I was pointing out the lies and inconsistencies from March 2020 so my husband was fully informed and not bothered about getting the vaccines until eventually the peer pressure became too much. He wanted a jab because he was embarrassed he didn't have one - not just by his friends but by strangers - for example the hotel or restaurant treating us like outcasts. Or a client finding out he didn't have one - oh the shame! Fortunately I convinced him to hold out and we made it through unjabbed but it was incredible to me that someone so intelligent and confident would be willing to take it due to peer pressure alone. Frankly, I was lucky his work didn't require it. Actually it wasn't luck. Thank you, GOD.
It’s really quite simple. Robust and truthful information requires no props: subterfuge, ad hominem attacks, hyperbole, strawmaning of arguments, misrepresentation, omissions, coverups etc. This is what all false information has as its feature. It’s unavoidable because they are attempting deceive so they must use deceptive tactics which can never be hidden in full. Conversely, the truth is always presented in dispassionate language, complete with links to evidence. It is clear and concise and attempts to persuade through the weight of its evidence and precision of its language. A disinformation piece - and the fact-checked ones are always guilty of this, use inflammatory language, are a jumble of ideas and half baked notions, they make assertions with no evidence, they strawman constantly and belittle the intellect of their readers. The difference couldn’t be more noticeable.
Most people fall into the trap because they are time poor and their minds are exhausted from working etc. They don’t have the inclination to read widely or to seek out multiple sources, check references, follow up on further readings etc. In short they are lazy and just want to be told what to think. A dumbed-down msm “news” article ticks all the boxes they need.
Very well said. From day one I knew the news was fake on this subject (among many others). There was unbounded sensationalism and everyone was saying exactly the same thing. I said "where are all the dissenting voices?? I learned critical thinking and debate in school and am always averse to people telling me what I should do. Made the sham obvious to me.
Ya mean , dunkin donuts and a six pack didn't sway you😎😎😎😎
Freaken bizarre, macabre for me
I knew intuitively that there was a propaganda operation in process but I hadn't particularly formulated a reason why. Thanks for your interesting analysis.
Yes, a conclusion that cannot be gainsayed. You've put it all very well in order, in my opinion.
Thank you!
Oh, that wasn't for me😎😎😎😎
My son was vaccine injured 16 years ago. This was when I finally took the time to research vaccines. No one in my family has ever had another vaccine after I went down that rabbit hole. It's limited my career as an RN but in all honesty, I have no regrets. I was able to avoid all masking and vaccine requirements during COVID and never participated in the mass genocide that has gone on in our health care institutions.
I am sorry to hear about your son. Thanks for sharing.
My son was vaccine injured 17 years ago. I refused to acknowledge the cause until late 2020. Immediate family was bitterly split on the issue, with some pointing to the obvious and others refusing to see it. I was in the latter group. I have since apologized.
That takes guts. Good on you. Sorry about your son. xo
It’s super-sad when you realize the facts, isn’t it? And it’s never about US. It’s always about those who are near and dear. Maddening.
A small group you belong to. Honest, real, "woke". Welcome!
Not to take anything at all away from your son - so sorry to hear of his injury, but this is somewhat new to me - can autism be considered as a possible form of vax injury? The thought is so abhorrent to me (that my grandson was intentionally injured) that I can hardly bear it, but I need to know: is autism after vax a likelihood?
Follow Bobby Kennedy’s organization CHILDREN’S HEALTH DEFENSE if you want more information.
Watch the movies Vaxxed and Vaxxed II. I will warn you. It will break your heart. I’m so very sorry about your grandson.
My son suffers from several health problems that kicked in strongly shortly after a childhood vaccination series. Autism is one the them. There's no proof, thus my years of denial, but the timing match is perfect.
I think there IS proof, actually, but of course, it's suppressed.
I am remiss. Let me say I am very sorry for your son, and for you.
But don't give up... The human body can heal from many, many things, at least partly, if given the right tools... You have your mission... As I said to G Harkness, above, there may be some good research available somewhere on Substack... team up, maybe? Investigate! You'll learn all kinds of things. Anyway, good luck. xo
Huh? You're not remiss in anything. Thank you for your kind words.
I forgot to say something decent at first...
Going through all my emails/comments is like dogs digging a hole... Very fast, focused, and intent on DIGGING. We're still warm-hearted beings on a page on some wire... xo
It's almost a sure thing. Yes, sadly, the answer is yes. Direct correlation. A good place to look into this is the Children's Health Defense, where RFK, Jr. is Lead Attorney, or whatever his title is...
In 1940, cases of autism were like one in 100,000. Now, for boys, it's ONE IN EIGHT.
This amped up right along with the amping up of vaccines and the amounts of them, and when they were given getting younger and younger... even on DAY ONE of a child's life.
I'm so sorry for your grandson. Knowledge is power. xo
Thank you. Again, the 'heart' button isn't working.
Heart button and updates in general (like comment edits) often take a while to appear on your page.
You can do a browser page refresh (control-R) and when the page reloads, you'll see your heart, but you'll have to rescroll down to the post you were on.
I just click heart and know substack registers it, but doesn't always refresh my page.
It has to swallow first. Substack isn't like Facebook... It didn't have the CIA doing all the back-end tech, so it's a bit slow sometimes. If you click slowly, it often lights right up...
And best to you. There may be some mitigation for your grandson.
I'd imagine on Substack there might be some doctor or someone who might know some helpful things.
Could you tell me where to find the one in eight statistic? That would be helpful to see that analysis.
Go to Children's Health Defense.
I heard RFK, Jr. say this in a video... I trust his stats.
Thank you.
Anytime. ^_^
Also the book Turtles all the way down. All the information you will ever need about vaccines. They do so much damage to kids.
YES! (Exclaimed loudly, but with much remorse for having to voice this knowledge)
Yes, indeed it is STRONGLY suspect, but not, of course, by the sacred industry. I just watched or read (can't remember which) a distinguished doctor bringing the thing into clarity. He explained (micro-biologically) that our brains are fed with super small capillaries (as are other organs) and rely on no obstructions to interfere with the blood flow. When compromised, motor-skills and no doubt other brain-related activity (is there ANY activity NOT related?) becomes mal-functioning. Blood-flow obstruction was the factor which the doctor pointed to in Autism as well as so many other dysfunction maladies. Whatever the biological pathway, a distinct connection can be drawn if one superimposes two charts: a graph showing the increasing incidence of the many neurological "diseases" occurring for the past 50 years, and a graph of the increasingly popular "vaccine" shots for the same years/decades.
There was a doc who had a large cohort of unvaxxed kids and tracked their health issues over a couple decades. Huge difference, autism among them.
I think the causal biology is different than you described, but the presentation I saw was way beyond my understanding, so I can't begin to summarize it.
