I recently had dinner with an old friend, who’s a Democrat. Now that the Covid lockdowns and mask, testing and vaxx (“LMTV”) mandates have all predictably and abjectly failed, he couldn’t defend them on the merits. Though some of his ilk will implausibly continue to do so.
Your friend can’t admit it was a scam because then he would have to admit he was suckered, and that is far too great a blow to the ego. He’d rather live in denial than accept that he was duped by a globally coordinated propaganda campaign designed to coerce people into compliance with ever-escalating tyranny while simultaneously achieving long-term depopulation goals (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-mostly-peaceful-depopulation). Evicting Trump from the White House was the reason they accelerated (and thus fumbled) their plans so mail-in voting could be in place by November 2020, but it was merely a side perk and not the overarching goal.
I started a blog last fall specifically to communicate with friends/colleagues and “show” all these lies. I was in nyc, where I had a massage therapy business with hyper liberal clients and biz partner. I am also am a therapist and worked on a dozen clients a week. Although everyone masked at all times (they still are, which is insane) and most were vaxxed I was still considered “dangerous” to some. I tested weekly for a year to soothe fears although some people (when they found out I was unvaccinated) literally turned on their heel and walked away from me like I was Typhoid Mary. Did I mention that for the past 3 years I have had barely a sniffle and never once tested positive? Mandates came for me eventually and my partner would not defy them but I had seen the writing on the wall by the end of 2021 had sold my half of the biz, moved someplace lovely in January and started a small practice, just me in my new hometown. I now see clients unmasked, unvaxxed and No client asks or cares or even seems to be thinking about Covid (many are middle aged or older btw). Nobody masks either. Meanwhile literally the day after I stepped down as partner, my prior biz REQUIRES all clients be vaxxed although this was NOT mandated in nyc (workers yes, customers no). I had openly vowed never to allow this but as soon as my partner had a new partner this new policy was the first thing they implemented. Did I mention I spent 14 years as her partner building this biz and now I cannot even go there myself as a client now to get a massage?
So why am I spilling my guts here? Because I need to know how others are dealing with similar realities. I stopped updating my blog regularly because frankly there are a lot of great writers like mark and so many on substack covering all the lies inconsistencies and manipulations. If you REALLY perceive there was something colossally “off” about this whole Covid “thing” the truth is out there. You just need to look. Also NOBODY IN MY REAL LIFE WANTS TO HEAR IT. Many have distanced themselves from me after I started trying to “show” people directly what is happening. I actually have a great husband who is 100% on the same page but he will only listen to me for so long before he asks me to stop. I feel a great sense of obligation to “act” but I’m not sure what is the right course plus I feel obsessive. Can anyone relate?
I have to point out again (hopefully not repeating myself here but...) this is the return of the doctrine of "blundering benevolence." This is a quite old play from the establishment playbook. The earliest incarnation of which I'm aware is that of the Vietnam War. Look it up!
Oh sorry, we only had the best intentions when we carpet bombed Vietnam with more ordnance than was used in the entirety of WW2 -- it was only to stop the "contagion" of communism! We did what we thought was right! Oops, sorry!
No they fucken didn't! Pardon my French. It's all lies. It's all backstory, cover their asses, historic revisionism with the explicit intent to get away with unspeakable crimes and to leave the door open for the return of such.
Then and now, for covid, they all knew exactly what they were doing. Especially when they did everything in their power to DESTROY any dissenting voices. If these people were remotely interested in "doing the right thing" then discussion, questioning, dissent, and alternative opinions would be readily accepted.
Look at the extent to what they have done and are continuing to do with silencing and destroying people that dare speak against the narrative. Every thinking person must aggressively reject the whitewash doctrine of "blundering benevolence"!
Just as was said back in the Vietnam era, it was clearly CALCULATED MALEVOLENCE!
The reason this denial feels worse than the intellectual dishonesty or endless bullshit thumb wrestling of yeeting links to cherry-picked studies back and forth all day is because it's the denial of evil.
Billions of us were deeply violated- some of us fatally- and the fallback defense has become that it was well-intended and doesn't deserve our outrage.
It's the way a woman who has been raped feels when she is told it was a misunderstanding or didn't happen.
Your last statement is so true- the divide has been created, but it ain't going away. The combination of internal division and fear are enough to further the chaos in this country. This whole thing was a design with evil intent- to further rupture the already weakened fabric of this nation. Will sleepwalking Americans wake up to the scam of the century or will they keep walking around like zombies?? I'm not optimistic because so many are satisfied- just don't rock my boat! Keep the checks coming and I'll mind my own business- it's the easy way.
Either we stand up to evil and expose it at every turn- or we will be trapped in the web of this black widow and she will surely inject her deadly poison. My greatest concern is my children and my grandchildren. Thanks, Mark- keep em coming.
Another excellent essay, which again employs the always-important Socratic Method of asking great, truth-seeking questions. I copied and pasted several excerpts for my clip files, but highlight just these two here:
"Who were these bureaucrats, Fauci and Birx, and what have they done to deserve such deference and to quarantine healthy people for the first time in history?"
My answer: They've done NOTHING to "deserve such deference." In fact, Fauci had already proven in decades of leading his health bureaucracy that he was incompetent and a "serial liar." However, "Teflon Tony" was never exposed by the mainstream "watchdog" press as a dangerous fraud. Nor was he exposed by the members of Congress who are suppose to provide "oversight" of this incredibly powerful and influential bureaucratic kingdom.
If people who have lied forever aren't exposed as corrupt liars ... they are of course going to continue to lie going forward, which is exactly what's happened.
Mark also notes:
"Somehow neither Democrats, nor their media arm asked these, or many other obvious questions."
This sentence explains how so many people continued to "defer" to "leaders" who were leading us all off a cliff. The people and organizations that were supposed to expose charlatans failed to perform their most important job.
the craziest thing was when our local walmart fenced off the toys and some other aisles, and left the rest open. As if the virus would get you in these aisles and not in others. And indeed, why was the big store open and did our hair dresser, who works alone, have to close? Poor chap almost lost his house over it!
The most disturbing thing about the whole pandemic response for me was the sheer massive scale of the propaganda effort--and how easily most people fell for it. The fight from now on, as you point out, will be keep the counter narrative going and not allow the globalist/pharma/big tech cabal to "memory hole" their complicity in it. Save receipts. Take screen shots. Keep fighting for the truth.
I will never forget the “authorities” who participated in this charade and robbed dedicated, principled people of their jobs. I will never support an educational institution that supports mandates
So, it seems the real virus isn't sars2, but Democrat. A vax for that might be useful. But a good beating is probably the best prescription. That begins Nov 8th. We need to remember the last 2 years of dem insanity, and teach it constantly, or it will happen again.
Another thing about "if LMTV had been about winning an election..." -- well, quite frankly it never was *just* about that but rigging the election was absolutely necessary for the broader agenda. That is the Green New Deal / Globa Reset scam.
One of the primary reasons that Trump is hated by liberals, has nothing to do with all the hyperventilating bullshit (e.g., misogyny, bigotry, etc), but rather that he cut off the climate-change energy scam in a vital way. He was undoing their Global Reset on numerous fronts.
THAT is why they hate him anyone like him and anyone that supports him. The theater over all the other nonsense is meaningless emotionally charged madness that they sell to their liberal base that are apparently very self-conscious, unsure, unstable and confused about themselves. Putty in the hands of the liberal elite.
That is also why this isn't going to stop by people just furthering superior arguments and pointing out the absolute farce that was put upon us and the destruction that we suffered in its wake. It's the onramp to the Global Reset and we're about to see its evil kick into high gear (as if covid mania was not enough)!
Once again, we are back to the two sets of facts problem. I don't see how we can make progress if we can't agree on reality. This is the true legacy of covid. Unless something truly dramatic and disastrous happens, we're going to be living with two realities for the foreseeable future.

my signidicant other is a boostered, democrat.
on an occasion when i needed some quiet time i said: "your president is going to get us all killed for the nazis in kiev"
cold shoulder and quiet the rest of the evening.
i am retired cold war veteran. the idea of nuclear war for the neocon project in kiev is abhorrent beyond maintaining any civility toward the regime!

Don't forget Remdesivir. For finishing them off. Courtesy the DOD DARPA and Dr Anthony Fauci.
I think we have to mock them out of power.

If you want to see a Democrat exhibit an even worse grasp of basic biology, ask him if men can get pregnant or ‘what is a “woman”?’
