Thanks for this, Mark. Your essays are a balm. There has been such an astounding amount of stupidity on display in recent times. And cruelty is a form of stupidty. Plenty of that, too.
You are absolutely right. It takes some self-awareness ( which I equate with wisdom, which is intelligence informed by experience) to be kind to others. It takes less energy to be mean, small, or quick to follow the crowd. Mark also says in here: : “A fretful mindset severely compromises peoples’ ability to understand life.“. Again, a deficit of wisdom. And a fear of not being part of the crowd. I think beyond stupid, huge numbers of Westerners are simply immature, shallow, bordering on narcissistic.
I agree with everything Mark writes except the claim that it is over .He writes as if ignorance and the medical terror is in the past .I'm happy if that is so where he lives ,but in my surroundings ,it's insanity as before .Many people go masked ,the glass barricades are up everywhere ,and most staff are masked ,expecting the end of the world .What I see is permanent on auto pilot . If the tyrants told the sheep that a virus is lose and will swallow them unless they wear pampers or huggies on the but .,they will do it .In B.C. Canada where I live the goofy gov. has decreed that anyone who has anything to do with healthcare ,must take the jabs and boosters .The so called places of health care are the worst ,like Dr. office or hospitals .The worst is still coming ,as when some 190 countries vote to make the Tetros guy and Bill Gates dictators of the world and other ring leaders and master minds around them enforcers .In 10 years we will know how many are still alive from the injections doing the deadly work inside of most peoples bodies .The immune system damage and infertility ,will make the dream of the exterminators reality . Blood clots are a bonus .
Oh, I think a lot are awake here.....We'll see how many register with the ATF their braced guns for a free stamp. What a joke. (I bet the ones who do are all "vaxxed."
Even if we still own the guns ,the tyrants do as they please .Owning and not using them will not change anything .Using them would mean revolution . Never forget the police and army are always on the side of the evil doers .they are their body guard . There where demonstrations in most countries and the police was always on the side of our enemies and still are .Even so ,we are in the majority ,but we are scattered ,confused ,disorganized and fighting each other .That is not a winning situation .
It’s easier in the states. Hell, I like my local police force and sheriff’s dept. 99 percent of our problems with “the law” are with the Feds. Everything centralized is easy to corrupt. FBI: corrupt. DOJ: corrupt BATFE: corrupt. A majority of Americans agree with me.
It’s been an excruciatingly painful realization that my two older brothers, who I once thought to be brilliant, indeed are not.
One has an IQ of 149 (he likes to remind me of that). The other had a sudden death happen in his extended family. Neither have awoken. And sadly, I truly believe never will. 😢
I could have written your words myself. As the youngest of 4, my oldest brother has always been held at my highest esteem and respect. He was my childhood protector (of said middle children lol) and one, whose intellect I greatly admired. That is, until the plandemic! I realized that while he might very well be “intelligent”, he wasn’t very “smart” and seemed to lack basic common sense and logical reasoning abilities. I blame (at least in part) his behavior on his VERY liberal wife and daughter. I prefer to believe that his unhinged rants and fear were simply a result of him “going along to get along”! I still love him greatly though!!!
my brother has a very covid fearing, MSNBC/CNN watching wife. he got his first two shots and was happy that he could go back to his gym and that it was less crowded because some members had simply "disappeared."
i pointed out that this was sort of like the germans who moved into the houses vacated by the suddenly missing jews and saw it as a windfall. and might not be very good long term for the gym.
i sent him some links to substacks and podcasts. within a few days, he called me and announced "oh my god! everything makes sense now!!" before long, he was finding writers that i hadn't yet discovered and sending me things to read!
he's holding the line and will take no more shots. his wife, of course, has been boosted
Wow, that is amazing that you "woke someone up". I have had no luck, I can feel the eyes rolling! I've stopped trying to convince anyone!
And my husband's background is German! But, you aren't supposed to compare anything to the years prior to the holocaust, you know!
One more thing about the brother-in-law - he likes to emphasize that HE is following the science. Because, you know, state funded media....why would they lie? He loves to ask my husband where he even gets his information. Hopeless case.
well, to be fair, my brother had no opinions and would leave the room when his wife watched non-stop fear porn news because that didn't make any sense to him. so he might have been half way there already, knowing that what he was being told seemed wrong but not hearing any other version.
honestly, i was quite surprised at how far he's gone with this
I've argued with more people during Covid than in the rest of my 58 years. Didn't make a dent. I even think I got better at arguing, though that made no difference either. Two weeks ago at the Lotus (my car) dealership, the service manager said he nor his wife or children got jabbed and he said it was partly because he remembered me going on about it. I really like him and have an unusually good rapour with him. Like everyone I tried to make aware of what the true situation, I was honest, open, informed, factual and passionate. I may have violated normal boundaries but thought this emergency warranted it. It amazes me to this day that I couldn't budge anyone. I have no illusions I change Brian's mind. I would have done it anyway. I'm extra satisfied his entire family gave it a pass and dodged a bullet just by having some sense in their heads. I can't believe that's a near miracle today.
so you got to one person and that changed how he dealt with his family. if you can get to one, you can get to more. who knows how many of the people you argued with just weren't ready to hear it at the time. but perhaps, when being pushed to take a booster, a 2nd booster, a bi-valent booster, maybe they remembered what you said that they thought was crazy back then and now it doesn't sound so crazy.
my brother had both shots and was happy enough that he was allowed back in his gym for which he had a paid membership. he was happy enough that the members had thinned out so he could get to his favorite machine faster.
then i got to him and now he gets it. no boosters for him while his wife is still living in fear, wearing masks, getting boosters. he reads more than i do even.
you never know who is hearing you or who is over hearing you, who you'll reach, maybe people you don't even know. how wonderful that you got some validation! keep going!
Well, Frazzeldrip was first reported and popularized by a news organization whose owner was friends with John Podesta!
So, with all of this (and I could go on for weeks), the easy thing to believe is it's all a psyop, but I know numbskulls that said that and ended up being the biggest, most argumentative proponents of the plandemic, so that's not a robust solution.
And how do you explain John Podesta's mutilated hands and freakish child sacrifice art collection? Or Dr. Phil's Satanic interior decorating? Okay, a lot of this could be fabricated and Podesta could be a freak. But what about the testimony of Cathy O'Brian, Fiona Barnett, Jonah Rief's mother and all the others that have come forward? Are we suddenly surrounded by the greatest actors of all time?
And how do you explain how most of the people who were clued into Covid are now chasing after "Fauci, Pfizer and Wuhan did it" or "Jordon Walker exposed it all and James O'Keefe's dismissal is a travesty" or "Seymour Hersh's reporting is impeccable, don't worry about the exactly 17 hour gap between bombings" or "Jeffrey Sach's is a man to be trusted, just ask Russia" or "that killer balloon can't be trusted, we need a nuclear armed "Balloon Force" to meet emerging military threats."
I knew the future was going to contain a great deception but I thought it would take a while to get here and would be incredibly hard to see through. The Duran had Jeffrey Sachs on for the second time today and in a separate video gave credence to Hersh's story. That's an unsubscribe right there. Has everybody lost their bloody minds? Is it from electromagnetic entrainment technology or the psyops? Did God drop a veil a while ago and it's taking time to have more of an effect or is the veil itself transforming to become more opaque?
I have plenty of books to read that have nothing to do with current events and plenty of things to catch up on so I'll be fine. But this is a puzzle I can't get any traction on. I might actually have to grow up and keep my mouth shut. Maybe even practice fake agreeing when someone tells me the stupidest things ever.
Yeah. I don't regret for one second what I did, I'm just really dumbfounded about why people couldn't be reached. I could come up with a million explanations but wouldn't know which was true.
Kind of unrelated but I was thinking tonight about how I judge friends and family compared to coworkers or acquaintances. With the first they're out of my life if they couldn't be reached yet with the later I just keep my distance and try not to be in the same room for too long. I find I'll catch a mini cold the next morning if I do. And I never forget what they went along with.
But with family and friends I think the stakes seem higher and they are unreliable when it counts. Plus they've known me all this time. To just reject my accurate and well thought out arguments for the first idiotic excuse that jumps into their head really burns my ass.
And I'm getting much more paranoid but not in a psychologically unhealthy way. I'm just finding out more stuff. It's a very long story. I'll try to be brief. I was late to discovering Q so there was a wealth of information when I did so I learn a lot quickly. Now, a guy that runs a youtube channel called Conspiracy Distillery as well as a website of the same name was supposedly recruited into Cicada 3301. It looks like it was a trial run to work out the bugs before launching Q. Long story short, it looks like Robert David Steel, David Icke, Charlie Ward, Simon Parkes, Juan O Savin and Gusifer (spelling?) were all part of it. It was run by 82nd Airborne out of Ft. Bragg. So it was a misinformation psyop from the US government and that explains why Trump, Flynn and Pompeo were coordinating with Q. I bought and read Michael Aquinos first Mind Wars book and found it vague and superficial. I still have never found and explanation for these psyops that makes sense comprehensively.
Have you ever heard of Frazzledrip? It supposedly was a video of Hillary and Huma Abedin raping and mutilating a young teenage girl and then just before she finally died they stuck an instrument up her nose into her brain and pulled out and ate her pineal gland. The video was recovered by NY police from Anthony Wiener's laptop when he was arrested for molesting girls. The video was in a file titled "Insurance".
Tim Webb ---Most people believe whatever the news and their school agenda brainwashed them with ---- I knew from the time I was ten years old that MOST of it was lies from the overlords to mold our fake reality with propaganda and deceit . MOST people of the world have NEVER figured it out and NEVER will, because quite simply, education and IQ aside, Most people are just not that bright ----100% FACT
I went along with the standard narrative without really thinking about it - it was what it was. But when the internet kicked off, I began to realise that there was a whole other story than the one I had been told.
I was able to switch my worldview to take account of what I was now learning for the first time - but I think most are wedded to what they have always believed.
I don't think it's a question of intelligence so much as a soul that resonates with the truth - you know what truth is when you hear it, and cannot deny what you know.
Scripture says it best, "My sheep hear My voice, and follow Me."
oh my god! when broadway reopened- only for the vaccinated- she decided they should see a show and bought tickets. remember, it's NYC and everyone in or even near the building is fully vaccinated. she was even boosted at that point!
and everyone in the theater, except for the actors, is masked.
so they're watching the show and she starts to notice that not everyone in the audience is wearing their masks to perfection and the ushers aren't executing them. by the first intermission, she is in a full blown panic and she runs out of the theater! now, i've run out of theaters before but only because the show was so terrible that i couldn't waste another minute on it.
anyway, my brother stayed and enjoyed the rest of the show. i'm surprised she let him back into their apartment without a few dozen negative tests.
OMGosh Carolyn...I was literally laughing OUT LOUD at your comment!! I can just picture her head spinning around trying to see how many masks malfunctions there were...and then blasting out of the theater like it was on FIRE, LMAO!!! That reminded me of an incident involving my brain-washed brother (aka: BWB). I was having my siblings over for our annual “get together” since my sister was in town. However, said BWB, would only agree to meet & greet on the front porch and absolutely would not be consuming any food or drink (I think he brought his own coffee), because, well...science, I guess. Anyway, my sister and I and BWBrother were sitting on the front porch visiting, when my other brother and his gf pulled up. GF came running up to the porch with arms wide open giving us all hugs. She turned to hug my BWB, and he about fell off the porch trying to get away from her all the while yelling, “6 feet social distance, 6 feet social distance...”! I was trying not to laugh, but the dramatics of the event were just too much to contain my inappropriate laughter!!!
i guess we all have these stories of insanity. it was like no one had ever had a flu before. i fear that my SIL may be scarred for life and it sounds like your BWB is equally damaged
What I find impossible to wrap my head around is since when does anyone who is vaccinated against a disease need to worry about someone who hasn’t been. That logic has been thrown in the dumpster.
My SIL refused to attend a wedding shower that was held OUTSIDE because all of the attendees weren’t vaxed. She even tried to ask me if everyone had been vaxed during a phone call. Needless to say that question didn’t go over well. It took great restraint not to lose my shit.
Even if you might have spread germs, what happened to being willing to take a risk for your loved ones? Worse, we had doctors and EMTs refusing to save lives because they maybe might catch sniffles. Worst of all: the percentage of old people who instead of saying "don't shut the world down for us, live your lives, this never happened before" eagerly supported locking down the very people paying their Social Security.
Well, my brother in law fits that description entirely. He knows what he knows, and is absolutely hardline about it. It isn't just covid, but very much climate change. And, I actually don't love him at all anymore. My feelings for him would be better described as pity, contempt, something like that. Because he is so arrogant. My husband probably still has some familial love for him. But the respect has been gone for a long time.
Most cultures of the world were brought up to believe the myth of family is the most important thing ----NO,IT'S NOT---- The most important thing in this world that God created you for was to become the best man or woman you could be ---- Family is second, and for some that really don't have an honorable family, it's not even advisable to honor people that don't deserve your honor ---Think about that, If your family is all jumping off a cliff and getting POISON shot into them, are you going to join them? Not me, that's for sure
How can you have any respect for these pathetically dumbed down people? They make me sick just to look at some of them ------Sad part is, they have always been this way and the fake pandemic just brought out their true colors which in some people has been dormant for awhile.
Oh yes Carolyn. The love will NEVER leave. However, the trust has been obliterated. Even at the infinitesimal chance they were to awaken, the relationship will never be the same. Also, I feel their pride would never allow them to ask for forgiveness.
It is possible however, that the shots are affecting the brains of some of those jabbed. I've read about this. My husband and I got the jabs before we woke up and so did many friends that have come over to our side as well. We must have received saline. We all know we were duped.
I have a similar experience. My BIL has a PhD in wildlife biology, yet still thinks everyone should continue to get boosters. His wife, a retired RN, developed anaphylaxis after her second shot requiring hospitalization, and is now ill and not able to get a diagnosis. They have not connected her medical issues to the shots.
It’s truly remarkable that the people we thought were so smart, caved to the propaganda or fear or both. My oldest brother (aforementioned one), had a heart attack several weeks after getting his second shot (back in April 2021)…I’ve not asked if he’s gotten boosted. Then my sister (who’s been smoking for 50 years and has had lung/breathing problems) quickly went and got the injections in early 2021. She IS very smart so I don’t know if she was simply scared (because of her lung issues) or was prompted by her lifelong doctor that she “needed” them. Then, if that wasn’t bad enough, she got a booster last May (so she and a friend could travel to European in June). Since then, she’s been referred to a pulmonologist who says she’s a perfect candidate for a lung transplant. Since October, she’s been hospitalized with RSV, then weeks later she came down with “Covid”, and just recently was in the ER because she couldn’t breathe (told she has a respiratory “virus”). I am so upset and worried about both of my siblings (my other brother and I did not get the injection). My husband did not get it either, but 3 of our 6 grown kids did and 2 of them have had pretty significant side-effects. I have NO “I told you so”…only worry and a quest to find answers and solutions! I pray for everyone that took the injection (for whatever reason)…where was their “informed consent”??? I hope that the powers that be will start looking for answers and help for those who’ve been injured by these injections!
You are 100% correct -----What good is IQ if you still don't have a clue about how you're being controlled, and sadly MOST people don't have any idea that they are even being controlled. That means, regardless of their IQ or education, they are not as smart as they think they are----100% fact
I can attest that having a high IQ hasn't helped me that much in life. It's very hard to relate to people in the business world, for example. I'm constantly several steps ahead of people I'm around and they hate me for it. I don't toot my own horn, but when I saw the contemporary Sherlock series a few years ago it felt like being punched in the face because they way that Cumberbatch played Holmes and how the other characters related to Holmes, wow...close to home there.
Anyhow, I was working in the big data group of a major US health insurer when covid hit. I was alongside the people creating the epidemiological models and the results they were getting were exceedingly different than the ones from the UK that were the absolute worst-case, but not repeatable (or reliable due to how shitty the code was) and yet our leaders chose that UK model to inform policy-making. I desperately attempted to contact my elected officials and point out the discrepancy and never got anywhere with any of them--it was already a done deal. That was mid-March 2020 into April 2020 when this was taking place and I've been trying to write my own substack about that experience. The worst part for me was living through this horror knowing all of it was a fabrication. Cognitive dissonance hurts.
I've only known the truth for 16 months. I cannot fathom if I'd known from the beginning. I think writing a Substack will be healing for you. I hope you take that step. God bless you.
Unless the numbers of excess deaths in their own circles continue to climb. I kind of think psychologically they just can't go there because 1) they can't admit they fell for the scam 2) they took it and might be next - too frightening.
My brother was murdered 4 month ago in a hospital ,with the deadly protocol treatment of isolation [ Imprisonment ] sedation ,remdesivir and ventilators .He went in there because of a flu and was dead 6 days later .It was meditated murder ,for profit .Dr's Yeadon, Dr .Latus Dextro agree that it was murder. .Just today Dr. Joseph Mercola had an Article on the Lew Rockwell edition ,for Thursday FEB.3RD. about the crimes and murder in hospitals for profit .The treatment as I wrote above kills about 90% of patients .Maybe the 10 % fled when they noticed they would be exterminated if they stay .We lived 800 km. apart and I had no idea he went in there .His son told me what went on after he was dead .Non of the ones around him are informed ,they are health illiterate .It may be if I had known from the start ,that I could have saved his life ,because I know hoe they operate ,from the start .
Joe, I am deeply sorry for your the loss of your brother. I am saddened and outraged simultaneously that this could even happen…here, now, ever!
Hospitals should be a place of peace, healing, and comfort…but now they are a place of fear, isolation, and murder. As a former LPN, I’ve always preached to my family and friends that they should ALWAYS have/bring an advocate to the ER or hospital or when having any procedures done. I have no doubt that the “no visitors” BS was to make sure there was no one there to speak on the patient’s behalf. No one to monitor who was coming or going…no one to witness what was being done or not being done…no one to question or request their actions or non-actions…making it a perfect scenario to carry out their evil plans unchecked. I truly want to know who certified or incentivized hospitals to receive tax payer funding for anything COVID..who okayed this medical “quid pro quo”????
Thank you Caroline .It seems unreal ,but the kill for money is real .Please watch the Joseph Mercola episode on the Lew Rockwell edition feb.2nd it explains every thing .
Laura Ego and Pride can really hurt one’s ability to see truth . I have a son that can be so prideful that it inhibits his ability to learn , like a brick wall . So smart but the ego gets in his way at times . Some tough lessons he is living thru as a young man . I pray he sees the light.
Often that divisive situation exists ,between husband and wife .My wife for example is treating me better than I treat her ,the best I have .But when it comes to authority types ,for her they are untouchable .. I.m the opposite a critical thinker and a rebel. Politicians F.O.

Spielberg is only smart in that he is able to extract money from people less smart than he.
Of which, there are many.
Personally, I'll take Spielberg and Hollywood's advice on healthcare when I decide to take the investment advice of the local homeless gentleman down the street.
Love this article especially the line about the “full event passes for three years of Fear Fest.” I am not a movie buff so I could care less about Spielberg, but I grew up listening to Jackson Browne. Seeing some of my favorite artists take such a hard line on vaccines and masks was very disturbing. I really didn’t care about any artist’s political views but promoting the Scamdemic changed not only my opinion but my play list.
One of my respits from this psyop was limiting my intake of tv/radio and revisiting my cd collection. It worked. And then neil young had to open his big mouth, and the sludge moved into the music arena. I used to be accepting of others simplistic, emotional views. Now I prefer not to hear them, especially those shared via righteousness and arrogance. I am grateful change does not cripple me, as I create a personal new world order and social circle.
As much (partly deserved) heat as Scott Adams is taking over his positing that those who instinctively mistrusted government "lucked out," in my own personal experience, there's some truth there. I've often wondered why I, a barely high school graduate from podunk Iowa, smelled a rat immediately while so many I perceived as infinitely smarter came so quickly under the spell. Some still there. 🙄
While an inherent distrust of authority was certainly helpful, it's not the whole story. The Scott Adams of the world would have you believe only shiny experts like him are capable of real analysis. They sleep better at night assuming losers like myself can't possibly learn.
I read a theory that people who were raised in harsh circumstances, ie no father in the home, abuse (that would be myself) or such as my husband who's parents joined a religious cult when he was a toddler so grew up being lied to, and people such as yourself who are self made didn't fall for the deception because "we" already are naturally mistrustful of authority and a bit cynical so we spotted the inconsistencies early. Just a theory.
I am, by nature, a very skeptical and cautious person…however, I have a different theory altogether. Of course logic and common sense is a huge factor, but for me…the strongest indicator that something was VERY “off” about the whole pandemic (and all of its many facets) was that “sense”, feeling, or inner voice telling me that something wasn’t right about all of this. I “felt” something was wrong long before I began to put 2 and 2 together. Call it a “gut feeling”, intuition, the Holy Spirit, or whatever you like…but it’s the LIFE force that guides us…not in a spoken word, but that undeniable inner feeling. There’s so much “noise” in the world that we have to deliberately quiet our mind so we can “hear” that which speaks to us via our soul. Unfortunately, I feel there is a vast societal disconnect from the very source (God) that guides us in truth and deception…thus, there are many lost souls.
That’s been my experience as well. The cunning lies were patently obvious to me but few others I know. My childhood was off the charts in terms of harshness and deceit so I read through things others ignore.
Funny how your deepest wounds can work to your benefit. Survival of the weakest, perhaps. Plus there’s an element of pride I think helped hoist many by their own petard. So sure of their intelligence they became fools.
I think there’s some truth in that - at least in my case. It may also help explain why I feel so pissed off at the smug sheep (like Adams), as maybe I also subconsciously harbor some resentment at how easy they’ve always had things?
Simple thought experiments could show that the R0 numbers and lethality estimates were a total lie--either R0 was very high and we should have all been dead/dying by April 2020, or something wasn't correct. High spread/low death == not serious, Low spread/high death == also not serious. And there was never the bad case, of high spread/high death in evidence. Which is why observational reality is so necessary! You don't need a PhD in statistics and regression models or any of it to understand that you weren't stepping over dead bodies in the streets and the local municipalities were not impressing the remaining able-bodied people to go house to house to remove corpses.
The lightbulb went on for me when a friend told of going to NYC to help with the mortuary duties as he had during the search for bodies at the World Trade buildings.
First day nothing to do.
Second day nothing to do.
Looking around, he noticed the mortuaries were closed.....due to covid.
The crematories were closed........due to covid.
The cemeteries were closed.......due to covid.
The average daily death toll for NYC is 145-150.
Rember the breathless narrative that each and every legacy media talking head spewed while showing the reefer trailers being loaded up with dead bodies?
Don't forget about the Navy hospital ships that were breathlessly demanded by people like DeBlasio sat empty at anchor in NY Harbor and were never used.
💬 only the government, superheroes, superweapons, superdoctors or now, supermasks or superjabs can save them.
Notice how government alone comes without an explicit super- prefix? It’s already perfect saviour in and of itself, no need for enhancement. Thoroughly illustrative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have been saying this for 3 years, mostly in response to my patients who say: 'My [spouse/parent/sibling] is really smart; they just fell for the whole covidmania theater: mask, lockdown, jabs. BUT, they're really smart.'
To which I respond: COVID has been several mostly bad things, but above all, it's been an IQ test, and the most important IQ test of our lives. Those who flunked wallowed in covidmania.
Smart does not equal eagerness to follow asinine marching orders.
Nope. The COVID theater has been a test of the ability to withstand pressure. Intelligence and courage have nothing to do with each other. To make matters worse, smart cowards will often use their intelligence to rationalize their cowardice. *Especially* if they cannot admit to themselves that they are cowards. Those who actually realize they are cowards may end up acting more courageously because they deliberately correct for their cowardly instincts. Ah, but the mice who think they are lions... And some of those mice actually do have a high IQ and will use it to concoct stories to convince themselves and others that they really, truly are lions. And that's what got us into this mess.
Agreed that intelligence and courage are different, not to be conflated. The topic of the article, and the one I addressed is intelligence, not courage.
Mark is correct that intelligence is incompatible with falling for the obviously scammy COVID lies.
the elite globalist swine - no offence to pigs on the farm - worked on emotions over intelligence. they trotted out trump to tell his tale , and then let the divide and conquer do its jab, i mean job ...
Even though my intelligence quotient is below absolute O I knew from the start ,the game they where playing with us so I never took part in any covid ceremonies ,or joining the cult .I feel sorry for the ones who where forced to take injections ,to keep their job .I'm retired ,so there was no boss to force me to poison myself .
No, I disagree. Intelligent people will typically use their intelligence in a lawyerly fashion. That guy who got OJ acquitted is one smart guy indeed. It doesn't mean OJ is innocent.
What do you do if you're a status-conscious coward with a high IQ? You do your best to convince yourself and others that COVID is the new plague and that we must all act accordingly.
Imagine you're a coward with a nice family and a nice house, and you're in no danger of losing your job. It actually kinda makes sense for you to "shield" and let the medical system figure COVID out. (Remember all those ventilators that killed people? They eventually figured out it wasn't the right thing to do. Eventually.) Sure, "shielding" will destroy or at least badly damage the lives of countless other people, but who cares about other people? So, you use your intelligence to justify your cowardice to yourself and others. And that's precisely what happened.
Granted, they badly miscalculated with the mRNA juice, but that's a somewhat separate story, and it has to do with greed and vanity.
Don't forget all the cartoonish cleaning of every surface that was going on in the earlier months--hand sanitizer, wipes, quarantined/embargoed library books and packages. Then finally when some group at MIT did some research on the incessant cleaning, they determined than none of that cleaning amounted to a hill of beans for an airborne respiratory virus! I only wish the mask thing could have been headed off as sharply!
No, not necessarily. It's a *cowardly* thing to do. You know those physics PhDs with dozens of publications who went along with all of this? It won't do to call them stupid. There's a different explanation, and it has to do with courage (or rather, lack thereof).
In response, I could copy and paste Mark's entire article, because he has already written a successful rebuttal to what you say. Again, courage is a separate issue. Covidiots refused to learn:
1) the lessons of 20th century Eastern European history (the more you comply now, the more you will suffer later, and there is an irony in cowardice vs courage, in that history shows that the cowardly always suffer more in the end);
2) refused to look into PCR history or mechanism (both of which were a very shaky foundation on which to assume any data on IFR, CFR, morbidity, mortality);
3) assumed semi-suffocation would somehow work out alright, despite the obvious fact that no successful animal species has put an obstacle to their respiration;
4) ignored very basic virology, that no coronavirus has ever had a safe or effective vaccine;
5) ignored that mRNA was brand new to mass vaccination, and had dangerous results in humans and animals previously.
People who fell for the scam are indeed not smart, as Mark has argued at greater length. It is important to recognize this, because they should never be upheld as role models for handling future crises. I agree with Mark that they should hang their heads in shame and listen to smarter people in the future, rather than censoring and shunning us.
TRANSCRIPT [BRIEF EXCERPT: RFK Jr. on speaking out, and on orthodoxy]
1:05:47
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.: There's two kinds of people. There are sort of, there are people like doctors and scientists and movie stars, etcetera, who come up to me and say, I'm with you a hundred percent, but I can't say anything. So there's those people which I understand, And then there are—
BRIAN ROSE: Do you understand, though? Do you understand?
ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.: I do. I tend to be, you know, look, the thing, I've made some choices about my own life. They're difficult. And there's cause attached to them, there's relationship causes family causes, etcetera, you know. But I also had a resilience most people don't have because I have a lot of trial lawyers who are on my side and who make sure that I get work. Right? And I have and, you know, some people in the environmental community who continue to support me. So, and I have friendships and I have a long track record, and so no matter how much they try to hurt me, I have some, I have a greater resilience than most people. But if you're a doctor, if you're an actor, and you come out, you are out of work. And your entire platform is removed. So you can make one statement, it's not going to go very far, and you're going to get hammered, and then you're off the grid and silent forever. And you know, you probably didn't do that much good. So I have compassion for people who feel like they can't come forward. And I don't judge them.
But there are other people, most of the people are actually subsumed in orthodoxy. And when you are in that orthodoxy it's a religious-like belief where it does not allow you to hear criticism of it, that people, you know, it's, there was a bunch of, it's like Stockholm Syndrome. You know, they lock you up, they tell you the only way to survive for you and your children is by complete obedience to this, you know, these authorities. And the people who are being locked up and abused become grateful to their captors and they come to see anybody who interferes or criticizes their captors as a dangerous person, who is endangering their lives, is immoral, who's bad. And they won't listen. They literally have their fingers in their ears, going nah-nah-nah-nah-nah. And that, I think is something that anybody like yourself, I know you know what I'm talking about because I know that you tried to talk to people who are rational adults who have always shared values with you, and watched them get up angrily and leave the room or leave the table. And you know, you're like, wow, what just happened? Well that's what happened.
Orthodoxy is an ingrained trait. It was biologically hard-wired into our systems during the 20 million, or 20,000 generations that humanity was wandering the African savanna in little tiny warring groups where your survival depended on your obedience, your unit cohesion, your obedience to a powerful male leader, and looking at everybody in your little group as part of your tribe, and excusing any kind of bad behavior, and anybody outside your group as the enemy, as inhuman, as dangerous, and where anything they did that was wrong had to be interpreted as an attack on you. And that's all hardwired into us, and, you know, it's part of who we are. It's you know, it's one of the things that, orthodoxies are dangerous and they're often lethal. And they share a lot of characteristics, but all of them are rooted in human biological impulses.

Some of them have, like Rob Schneider and Letitia Wright, an up and coming star who was in Black Panther. Woody Harrelson has always been a good critical thinker too.
Last night I was watching Julia Roberts & George Clooney 2022 movie, “Ticket Paradise”, Both of them I noticed, their eyes seemed strange!!! Also, so boring couldn’t even finish it!!! Something was certainly lost somewhere in the movie despite the glorious setting of Bali. Have to wonder if their brains and acting abilities have been compromised?? Both have aged (perhaps noticeably) but that never effected other actors performances in the past that I recall.
I've been living on a steady diet of Endeavour, Morse, Lewis, and a whole array of Vera, Miss Scarlett, All Creatures Great and Small, etc, for the last 3 years. I can't stand any of the new series, which are mostly from America.
Wow! I have been binging on Vera for the last few weeks!!! I came to the end of it over the weekend, and now I feel bereft. Not sure why I can only watch British crime drama anymore. Any good suggestions?
yes, we have several apps now that we watch old Johnny Carson? Pluto? old Columbo, I have seen all of Wings now, and Seinfeld was on a while last year. That stuff is a blast to watch. I can not tolerate woke tv.
DanWebber--- You are giving a lot of the Hollywood cult too much credit, most of them are not terribly bright and some don't even have the brains to realize how there being manipulated
This essay really highlighted one of the major frustrations I had with Coronamania. When I would try to have a fact based discussion with people using the percentages and real life numbers from my state, they'd just fall back on the lame, “well, I don’t want to be that one person who could die from it”. Then the cognitive dissonance over the vaccines was stunning. I remember a conversation with a woman who had been in hospital administration. It was a weird circular conversation in which I pointed out the vaccines didn’t stop her from getting CoVid. Basically, the conversation ended with her saying , “well , I still think everyone should get one,.” It was so bizarre to see people unable to form a cogent argument once you refuted the talking point with actual facts. It was truly as if they never thought beyond what they were told. It was like living in an alternate universe with a bunch of preprogrammed zombies.
I had a similar conversation, about mandates for health care workers. “I don’t need my 89 year old mom worked on by an unvaccinated nurse”. But why, if Mom is vaxxed, does it matter? No answer, subject dropped, friendship basically over.
Celayne Jones ---- Hate to break the news to you, but you don't want to be friends with a dumbed down man/woman----It is better to be alone than to keep bad company
Listen to the bioweapon shot commercials on the radio. First it was "the shots are safe and effective," then it was "the shots are effective" and now it's just "get the shots." Even marketing people know there is no need for facts.
I didn't fear this CV for one minute. Why would the most lethal respiratory virus in history suddenly burst onto the scene, esp. during an election year?
And why were we locking down everyone when only old, sick people dying?
I had the same experience with a doctor recently. They are all still wearing masks, he sanitized his hands before he walked in the room, then refused to shake my hand! I said "oh, you're a germaphobe!" He got all flustered. To him, this stuff is all just good practice, whether or not any of it works is not his concern, I guess. These are the same types of people who allowed the extermination of the Jews to go forwards because none of them ever would risk asking a pertinent question about how mad their society had become. I will not stop harping on it because it is *dangerous* behavior. Sooner or later, some group is going to be scapegoated again.
Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s site is hosting an EXCELLENT five part series documentary about how we’re all Jews now, Never Again is Now Global by Vera Sharav. You can watch the episodes there:
And they wring their hands about drug-resistant bacteria. It’s apparently difficult to get a prescription for antibiotics because guidelines tell the corporate docs not to over-prescribe them because Drug Resistant Bacteria!!! which probably stems more from anti-bacterial soap use and those damn hand sanitizers.
This topic of intelligence/smartness overlaps with another topic: a survival mindset. I wish I could cite the studies, but there have been some that show that in a crisis situation, around 10% of the population are survivors, 10% panic, flail about and can ruin it for everyone else -- and the 80% in the middle can be led to safety (and are looking for leaders to tell them what to do).
Perhaps this is another axis of "smartness" -- but it is actually an automatic type of reaction. 10% automatically, instinctively "know" where the exit to safety is, and make a beeline towards it, often ignoring everyone else around them. They just know what to do. (this is not always a literal "exit" but can also be a "fight or flight" reflex -- sometimes fighting is the necessary survival behavior, and it is almost as though superhuman strength or power takes over, temporarily, to get the person out of the situation)
The fire and airplane safety drills that we do are to help ingrain some of this automatic, instinctive behavior through training and repetition into the 80% in the middle. However, in an emergency, there is still a need for a leader, with a bullhorn or loud voice, or over a loudspeaker, to guide and tell the herd where to go and what to do -- in as calm a way as possible. This works for most people. And prior drills do help.
Well -- back to COVID -- what happened? Our "leaders" were fake and led us astray. They, too, many of them, were also similarly led astray, though a significant number are in on the plot. And the voices of those true leaders who really were trying to save people were silenced and censored.
When an emergency or sudden crisis occurs, the herd becomes frightened (and the TV told us to be frightened, didn't it?), the 10% survivors go into heightened senses, instinctive survival mode (which is beyond logic or is kind of a higher form of thinking -- people in this group will understand what I'm talking about). But the 80% in the middle want to be reassured by a person in authority who will guide them to safety. The propaganda voice has been the loud voice, and the herd listens to the loudest voice.
This CV simply was never a threat to most people. People who thought it was were, as you say, deceived by evil individuals. To lock down or to vaxx were very easy calls to any thinking person.
You know, I am probably about the same age as you are. I was taught "go along to get along." Apparently, that lesson did not stick with me; I've been gently mocked over the years, accused of being stubborn or contrary to what others thought I should be doing.
Manipulation of others is evil; I won't do it, and I'm against having it done to myself. I try to warn people.....
I observed some of my indoctrinated loved ones totally taken in by the BS. Others were confused but trusting of authority. And still others knew quite well that they were being coerced, but they would rather go along to get along. Yeah. They would rather be injected with a slow (?)-kill bioweapon, to be accepted by others. SMH.
The most horrifying part of this, to me, is discovering how much of an outlier I am. I truly thought there were more of us.
Dani Richards ---I'll sum up your whole article -----Anyone that needs 'leaders' to tell them what to do is WEAK, so by your numbers 80% of the people are weaklings. I'll take it a step further, anyone that believes what comes out of the mouths of these leaders is simply not that bright --- Sad 100% fact
Chris Martenson at Peak Prosperity calls this ability "a fast adjustment reaction". The people who can process new information and facts and quickly adjust their mental model in response to a risky situation tend to do better than people who have a slow adjustment reaction or cannot process new information at all. In this era of low signal to noise media, those that have a fast adjustment reaction will outperform and likely outlive those with slow ones.

Great stuff Mark.
One of the odd silver linings of Covid is that those who played for Team Reality the last 3 years can now know their critical thinking and decision making skills are in the top decile of society.
As well, we have been given full transparency to the quality (or lack of quality) of decision making of others in your life and in positions of authority or prestige. Offering a pretty good roadmap for who to pay attention to going forward.
What constitutes a person as being smart? Let's set up a little spectrum just for discussion purposes. On this spectrum, there are three reference points. Smart based on intelligence, credentials, and practicality.
I know some truly intelligent people. But I would not say they are smart. Their discernment powers are not great. They certainly know a lot, but whether it is useful is another matter.
I know many highly credential people. Some of them are smart because they have learned to transcend the validation of the credential to achieve significance in their field. The question is,"Take them out of their institutional setting of their credential, what happens then?"
And, I know people who would not rate high on an IQ scale or have any credentials, and yet, they are incredibly smart. They are because they have used what talent that they have to create a life that matters. One of those people is a friend of mine. An unspectacular high school education. No higher education. No professional credentials. Spent his life as a store clerk. And, yet, his intuitive sense of people and organizational situations is absolutely remarkable. He is a wise man. I find it far easier to trust him than many of the intelligent, credential people that I know because he is not confused by abstract arguments. Every time I am with him, I learn something.
my BF kept asking "are we crazy? what if everyone is right and we're wrong?" i had no such doubts and besides, if the vaccines were everything their advertising claimed, i still reserve- even if it works out to my detriment, the right not to take them.
i saw so many formerly logical intelligent health conscious people go off the rails, start behaving in ways that were the opposite of how they had always been before.
on the phone with an acquaintance in NY one night, she could hear over my speaker phone the happy completely normal noise of my neighbor's family enjoying the balmy evening in the privacy of their own backyard. she panicked and demanded that i call the police immediately to turn them in! i would never do any such thing and i wouldn't have thought that she would either, especially since she's jewish and must have heard sad histories of her people being betrayed by their neighbors more than a few times.
and yet, scratch her kind tolerant humane appearing surface and you release a petty tyrant. scratch my surface as far down as you like and i'm still me. i didn't change.
i've always been rebellious, always mistrusted organized medicine, always steered clear of doctors, always handled any virus or flu in my own contrary way, always sourced my food carefully.
imagine me waking up one morning and being totally compliant, completely trusting of medicine, running to a doctor at the slightest sniffle, treating a flu with tylenol, and eating any old garbage that came in a package!
i wouldn't recognize myself!!
i pass through life these days, wondering who all these people are. could i trust them? would they turn on me? if the chips were down, who among them would be steadfast and true? it's pretty sobering
It’s disappointing, and perhaps depressing at times, but better to see them clearly now than remain under the illusion that the sleeping tyrants could be trusted.
I believe, regarding colleges, that they were mega bribed with m[b]illions of taxpayer funded money to be that stupid. Maybe they weren’t so stupid after all, just mega evil.
This is so full of truth. Common sense trumps a degree of any kind. Our society is so backwards in its values in so many ways, and the remedies they concoct to control people and the environment, such as all of wokeism, exemplify the UTTER STUPIDITY of the uber educated and brainwashed.
Thank you for writing this. As a physician, I am surrounded by doctors who have drank the Kool-Aid, and have gone off the deep end with Covid fear porn. It is very lonely, but I have no option, knowing what is right.
The medical class has been a profound disappointment. That's saying something, since I only visit a doctor as a last resort. But I guess there is a reason why the words "doctor" and "indoctrination" not only share the same root, but are practically the same. Not to mention the financial incentives that must have convinced those who didn't quite swallow the Kool-Aid....
That said, I salute every doctor who has had and has the conscience and the courage to stand up for their right as a professional to act in accordance with what they know to be true, for the health and benefit of their patients and for the laws they are supposed to follow! Kudos, because I am sure it is a lonely place, and that it can mean the end of a medical career.
At the same time, it's an opportunity to reassess your work and your values to perhaps find a new tribe that is better suited to where you find yourself at now, having been disillusioned yourself, and practice your work in a different way, outside the medical establishment (which I, personally, abhor). Good luck on your journey!
It's lonely in my field, too--my career as a software engineer has been badly damaged by all this. It's bringing about a collapse in my livelihood. I don't think all the remote work is remotely healthy, either. I refused the jab and had to leave one job, but honestly, that was more just the last straw for that place versus any big loss. But since then, my work has been very spotty. 2022 was the worst year of my career. Ageism is also being pushed harder than ever, as well as anti-white male sentiment, all behind a veil of Covid do-gooding.
Thanks for this, Mark. Your essays are a balm. There has been such an astounding amount of stupidity on display in recent times. And cruelty is a form of stupidty. Plenty of that, too.
You are absolutely right. It takes some self-awareness ( which I equate with wisdom, which is intelligence informed by experience) to be kind to others. It takes less energy to be mean, small, or quick to follow the crowd. Mark also says in here: : “A fretful mindset severely compromises peoples’ ability to understand life.“. Again, a deficit of wisdom. And a fear of not being part of the crowd. I think beyond stupid, huge numbers of Westerners are simply immature, shallow, bordering on narcissistic.
I agree with everything Mark writes except the claim that it is over .He writes as if ignorance and the medical terror is in the past .I'm happy if that is so where he lives ,but in my surroundings ,it's insanity as before .Many people go masked ,the glass barricades are up everywhere ,and most staff are masked ,expecting the end of the world .What I see is permanent on auto pilot . If the tyrants told the sheep that a virus is lose and will swallow them unless they wear pampers or huggies on the but .,they will do it .In B.C. Canada where I live the goofy gov. has decreed that anyone who has anything to do with healthcare ,must take the jabs and boosters .The so called places of health care are the worst ,like Dr. office or hospitals .The worst is still coming ,as when some 190 countries vote to make the Tetros guy and Bill Gates dictators of the world and other ring leaders and master minds around them enforcers .In 10 years we will know how many are still alive from the injections doing the deadly work inside of most peoples bodies .The immune system damage and infertility ,will make the dream of the exterminators reality . Blood clots are a bonus .
Canada and NZ are lessons in what a tyrannical govt. does after it confiscates guns from the law abiding.
You forgot Australia. America is next if we don't wake the f$@k up!
Oh, I think a lot are awake here.....We'll see how many register with the ATF their braced guns for a free stamp. What a joke. (I bet the ones who do are all "vaxxed."
Even if we still own the guns ,the tyrants do as they please .Owning and not using them will not change anything .Using them would mean revolution . Never forget the police and army are always on the side of the evil doers .they are their body guard . There where demonstrations in most countries and the police was always on the side of our enemies and still are .Even so ,we are in the majority ,but we are scattered ,confused ,disorganized and fighting each other .That is not a winning situation .
It’s easier in the states. Hell, I like my local police force and sheriff’s dept. 99 percent of our problems with “the law” are with the Feds. Everything centralized is easy to corrupt. FBI: corrupt. DOJ: corrupt BATFE: corrupt. A majority of Americans agree with me.
You misspelled your last name, “Dick.” Let me fix it for you : “Head”
It’s been an excruciatingly painful realization that my two older brothers, who I once thought to be brilliant, indeed are not.
One has an IQ of 149 (he likes to remind me of that). The other had a sudden death happen in his extended family. Neither have awoken. And sadly, I truly believe never will. 😢
I could have written your words myself. As the youngest of 4, my oldest brother has always been held at my highest esteem and respect. He was my childhood protector (of said middle children lol) and one, whose intellect I greatly admired. That is, until the plandemic! I realized that while he might very well be “intelligent”, he wasn’t very “smart” and seemed to lack basic common sense and logical reasoning abilities. I blame (at least in part) his behavior on his VERY liberal wife and daughter. I prefer to believe that his unhinged rants and fear were simply a result of him “going along to get along”! I still love him greatly though!!!
my brother has a very covid fearing, MSNBC/CNN watching wife. he got his first two shots and was happy that he could go back to his gym and that it was less crowded because some members had simply "disappeared."
i pointed out that this was sort of like the germans who moved into the houses vacated by the suddenly missing jews and saw it as a windfall. and might not be very good long term for the gym.
i sent him some links to substacks and podcasts. within a few days, he called me and announced "oh my god! everything makes sense now!!" before long, he was finding writers that i hadn't yet discovered and sending me things to read!
he's holding the line and will take no more shots. his wife, of course, has been boosted
Wow, that is amazing that you "woke someone up". I have had no luck, I can feel the eyes rolling! I've stopped trying to convince anyone!
And my husband's background is German! But, you aren't supposed to compare anything to the years prior to the holocaust, you know!
One more thing about the brother-in-law - he likes to emphasize that HE is following the science. Because, you know, state funded media....why would they lie? He loves to ask my husband where he even gets his information. Hopeless case.
well, to be fair, my brother had no opinions and would leave the room when his wife watched non-stop fear porn news because that didn't make any sense to him. so he might have been half way there already, knowing that what he was being told seemed wrong but not hearing any other version.
honestly, i was quite surprised at how far he's gone with this
Well, I'd still count it as a win!!
I've argued with more people during Covid than in the rest of my 58 years. Didn't make a dent. I even think I got better at arguing, though that made no difference either. Two weeks ago at the Lotus (my car) dealership, the service manager said he nor his wife or children got jabbed and he said it was partly because he remembered me going on about it. I really like him and have an unusually good rapour with him. Like everyone I tried to make aware of what the true situation, I was honest, open, informed, factual and passionate. I may have violated normal boundaries but thought this emergency warranted it. It amazes me to this day that I couldn't budge anyone. I have no illusions I change Brian's mind. I would have done it anyway. I'm extra satisfied his entire family gave it a pass and dodged a bullet just by having some sense in their heads. I can't believe that's a near miracle today.
so you got to one person and that changed how he dealt with his family. if you can get to one, you can get to more. who knows how many of the people you argued with just weren't ready to hear it at the time. but perhaps, when being pushed to take a booster, a 2nd booster, a bi-valent booster, maybe they remembered what you said that they thought was crazy back then and now it doesn't sound so crazy.
my brother had both shots and was happy enough that he was allowed back in his gym for which he had a paid membership. he was happy enough that the members had thinned out so he could get to his favorite machine faster.
then i got to him and now he gets it. no boosters for him while his wife is still living in fear, wearing masks, getting boosters. he reads more than i do even.
you never know who is hearing you or who is over hearing you, who you'll reach, maybe people you don't even know. how wonderful that you got some validation! keep going!
"Well, Frazzledrip" was supposed to be second. Maybe it will sort itself out later.
Well, Frazzeldrip was first reported and popularized by a news organization whose owner was friends with John Podesta!
So, with all of this (and I could go on for weeks), the easy thing to believe is it's all a psyop, but I know numbskulls that said that and ended up being the biggest, most argumentative proponents of the plandemic, so that's not a robust solution.
And how do you explain John Podesta's mutilated hands and freakish child sacrifice art collection? Or Dr. Phil's Satanic interior decorating? Okay, a lot of this could be fabricated and Podesta could be a freak. But what about the testimony of Cathy O'Brian, Fiona Barnett, Jonah Rief's mother and all the others that have come forward? Are we suddenly surrounded by the greatest actors of all time?
And how do you explain how most of the people who were clued into Covid are now chasing after "Fauci, Pfizer and Wuhan did it" or "Jordon Walker exposed it all and James O'Keefe's dismissal is a travesty" or "Seymour Hersh's reporting is impeccable, don't worry about the exactly 17 hour gap between bombings" or "Jeffrey Sach's is a man to be trusted, just ask Russia" or "that killer balloon can't be trusted, we need a nuclear armed "Balloon Force" to meet emerging military threats."
I knew the future was going to contain a great deception but I thought it would take a while to get here and would be incredibly hard to see through. The Duran had Jeffrey Sachs on for the second time today and in a separate video gave credence to Hersh's story. That's an unsubscribe right there. Has everybody lost their bloody minds? Is it from electromagnetic entrainment technology or the psyops? Did God drop a veil a while ago and it's taking time to have more of an effect or is the veil itself transforming to become more opaque?
I have plenty of books to read that have nothing to do with current events and plenty of things to catch up on so I'll be fine. But this is a puzzle I can't get any traction on. I might actually have to grow up and keep my mouth shut. Maybe even practice fake agreeing when someone tells me the stupidest things ever.
Yeah. I don't regret for one second what I did, I'm just really dumbfounded about why people couldn't be reached. I could come up with a million explanations but wouldn't know which was true.
Kind of unrelated but I was thinking tonight about how I judge friends and family compared to coworkers or acquaintances. With the first they're out of my life if they couldn't be reached yet with the later I just keep my distance and try not to be in the same room for too long. I find I'll catch a mini cold the next morning if I do. And I never forget what they went along with.
But with family and friends I think the stakes seem higher and they are unreliable when it counts. Plus they've known me all this time. To just reject my accurate and well thought out arguments for the first idiotic excuse that jumps into their head really burns my ass.
And I'm getting much more paranoid but not in a psychologically unhealthy way. I'm just finding out more stuff. It's a very long story. I'll try to be brief. I was late to discovering Q so there was a wealth of information when I did so I learn a lot quickly. Now, a guy that runs a youtube channel called Conspiracy Distillery as well as a website of the same name was supposedly recruited into Cicada 3301. It looks like it was a trial run to work out the bugs before launching Q. Long story short, it looks like Robert David Steel, David Icke, Charlie Ward, Simon Parkes, Juan O Savin and Gusifer (spelling?) were all part of it. It was run by 82nd Airborne out of Ft. Bragg. So it was a misinformation psyop from the US government and that explains why Trump, Flynn and Pompeo were coordinating with Q. I bought and read Michael Aquinos first Mind Wars book and found it vague and superficial. I still have never found and explanation for these psyops that makes sense comprehensively.
Have you ever heard of Frazzledrip? It supposedly was a video of Hillary and Huma Abedin raping and mutilating a young teenage girl and then just before she finally died they stuck an instrument up her nose into her brain and pulled out and ate her pineal gland. The video was recovered by NY police from Anthony Wiener's laptop when he was arrested for molesting girls. The video was in a file titled "Insurance".
Seeing how events from Jan 6, 2021 at 1PM were portrayed by Jan 6, 2021 at 7PM, I find it hard to believe any stories from 80 years ago.
Tim Webb ---Most people believe whatever the news and their school agenda brainwashed them with ---- I knew from the time I was ten years old that MOST of it was lies from the overlords to mold our fake reality with propaganda and deceit . MOST people of the world have NEVER figured it out and NEVER will, because quite simply, education and IQ aside, Most people are just not that bright ----100% FACT
I went along with the standard narrative without really thinking about it - it was what it was. But when the internet kicked off, I began to realise that there was a whole other story than the one I had been told.
I was able to switch my worldview to take account of what I was now learning for the first time - but I think most are wedded to what they have always believed.
I don't think it's a question of intelligence so much as a soul that resonates with the truth - you know what truth is when you hear it, and cannot deny what you know.
Scripture says it best, "My sheep hear My voice, and follow Me."
Carolyn - you brother is very smart. His wife, not so much. I feel for him.
oh my god! when broadway reopened- only for the vaccinated- she decided they should see a show and bought tickets. remember, it's NYC and everyone in or even near the building is fully vaccinated. she was even boosted at that point!
and everyone in the theater, except for the actors, is masked.
so they're watching the show and she starts to notice that not everyone in the audience is wearing their masks to perfection and the ushers aren't executing them. by the first intermission, she is in a full blown panic and she runs out of the theater! now, i've run out of theaters before but only because the show was so terrible that i couldn't waste another minute on it.
anyway, my brother stayed and enjoyed the rest of the show. i'm surprised she let him back into their apartment without a few dozen negative tests.
she said she was done with theater. too risky.
OMGosh Carolyn...I was literally laughing OUT LOUD at your comment!! I can just picture her head spinning around trying to see how many masks malfunctions there were...and then blasting out of the theater like it was on FIRE, LMAO!!! That reminded me of an incident involving my brain-washed brother (aka: BWB). I was having my siblings over for our annual “get together” since my sister was in town. However, said BWB, would only agree to meet & greet on the front porch and absolutely would not be consuming any food or drink (I think he brought his own coffee), because, well...science, I guess. Anyway, my sister and I and BWBrother were sitting on the front porch visiting, when my other brother and his gf pulled up. GF came running up to the porch with arms wide open giving us all hugs. She turned to hug my BWB, and he about fell off the porch trying to get away from her all the while yelling, “6 feet social distance, 6 feet social distance...”! I was trying not to laugh, but the dramatics of the event were just too much to contain my inappropriate laughter!!!
People are just so dumb. I would have yelled at them.
i guess we all have these stories of insanity. it was like no one had ever had a flu before. i fear that my SIL may be scarred for life and it sounds like your BWB is equally damaged
What I find impossible to wrap my head around is since when does anyone who is vaccinated against a disease need to worry about someone who hasn’t been. That logic has been thrown in the dumpster.
My SIL refused to attend a wedding shower that was held OUTSIDE because all of the attendees weren’t vaxed. She even tried to ask me if everyone had been vaxed during a phone call. Needless to say that question didn’t go over well. It took great restraint not to lose my shit.
Even if you might have spread germs, what happened to being willing to take a risk for your loved ones? Worse, we had doctors and EMTs refusing to save lives because they maybe might catch sniffles. Worst of all: the percentage of old people who instead of saying "don't shut the world down for us, live your lives, this never happened before" eagerly supported locking down the very people paying their Social Security.
If only it had been a true vaccine. I can't even call the shots that anymore because they clearly failed in that role.
That's so pathetic.
Well, my brother in law fits that description entirely. He knows what he knows, and is absolutely hardline about it. It isn't just covid, but very much climate change. And, I actually don't love him at all anymore. My feelings for him would be better described as pity, contempt, something like that. Because he is so arrogant. My husband probably still has some familial love for him. But the respect has been gone for a long time.
Just because you used to love someone doesn't mean you always will. Stuff happens.
Most cultures of the world were brought up to believe the myth of family is the most important thing ----NO,IT'S NOT---- The most important thing in this world that God created you for was to become the best man or woman you could be ---- Family is second, and for some that really don't have an honorable family, it's not even advisable to honor people that don't deserve your honor ---Think about that, If your family is all jumping off a cliff and getting POISON shot into them, are you going to join them? Not me, that's for sure
How can you have any respect for these pathetically dumbed down people? They make me sick just to look at some of them ------Sad part is, they have always been this way and the fake pandemic just brought out their true colors which in some people has been dormant for awhile.
That's a point I keep making. It's the silver lining of Covid. We can now clearly see all the stupid people. We know this by their actions.
The scary part is they are everywhere. The more scary part is 95 percent of our "leaders" are this stupid.
you are not alone.
We know that we can rely on each other here.
I think it is great that you shared this. We need to spill it.
Once we notice it, the words are there in front of us, and do not ruminate in our hearts
Oh yes Carolyn. The love will NEVER leave. However, the trust has been obliterated. Even at the infinitesimal chance they were to awaken, the relationship will never be the same. Also, I feel their pride would never allow them to ask for forgiveness.
It is possible however, that the shots are affecting the brains of some of those jabbed. I've read about this. My husband and I got the jabs before we woke up and so did many friends that have come over to our side as well. We must have received saline. We all know we were duped.
My heart goes out to you.
I have a similar experience. My BIL has a PhD in wildlife biology, yet still thinks everyone should continue to get boosters. His wife, a retired RN, developed anaphylaxis after her second shot requiring hospitalization, and is now ill and not able to get a diagnosis. They have not connected her medical issues to the shots.
It’s truly remarkable that the people we thought were so smart, caved to the propaganda or fear or both. My oldest brother (aforementioned one), had a heart attack several weeks after getting his second shot (back in April 2021)…I’ve not asked if he’s gotten boosted. Then my sister (who’s been smoking for 50 years and has had lung/breathing problems) quickly went and got the injections in early 2021. She IS very smart so I don’t know if she was simply scared (because of her lung issues) or was prompted by her lifelong doctor that she “needed” them. Then, if that wasn’t bad enough, she got a booster last May (so she and a friend could travel to European in June). Since then, she’s been referred to a pulmonologist who says she’s a perfect candidate for a lung transplant. Since October, she’s been hospitalized with RSV, then weeks later she came down with “Covid”, and just recently was in the ER because she couldn’t breathe (told she has a respiratory “virus”). I am so upset and worried about both of my siblings (my other brother and I did not get the injection). My husband did not get it either, but 3 of our 6 grown kids did and 2 of them have had pretty significant side-effects. I have NO “I told you so”…only worry and a quest to find answers and solutions! I pray for everyone that took the injection (for whatever reason)…where was their “informed consent”??? I hope that the powers that be will start looking for answers and help for those who’ve been injured by these injections!
Carolyn - do you follow the FLCCC for treatments for vax injuries?
No I haven’t...I will look them up ASAP!! Thanks for the info!!

Thank you so much!
The PTB deliberately inflicted these poisons onto people, so there's no way they're interested in helping the injured post facto.
IQ means nothing. I've variously tested (nearly all as a child, Mensa excepted, ~125 as I recall) from 68 to 189.
You are 100% correct -----What good is IQ if you still don't have a clue about how you're being controlled, and sadly MOST people don't have any idea that they are even being controlled. That means, regardless of their IQ or education, they are not as smart as they think they are----100% fact
I can attest that having a high IQ hasn't helped me that much in life. It's very hard to relate to people in the business world, for example. I'm constantly several steps ahead of people I'm around and they hate me for it. I don't toot my own horn, but when I saw the contemporary Sherlock series a few years ago it felt like being punched in the face because they way that Cumberbatch played Holmes and how the other characters related to Holmes, wow...close to home there.
Anyhow, I was working in the big data group of a major US health insurer when covid hit. I was alongside the people creating the epidemiological models and the results they were getting were exceedingly different than the ones from the UK that were the absolute worst-case, but not repeatable (or reliable due to how shitty the code was) and yet our leaders chose that UK model to inform policy-making. I desperately attempted to contact my elected officials and point out the discrepancy and never got anywhere with any of them--it was already a done deal. That was mid-March 2020 into April 2020 when this was taking place and I've been trying to write my own substack about that experience. The worst part for me was living through this horror knowing all of it was a fabrication. Cognitive dissonance hurts.
I've only known the truth for 16 months. I cannot fathom if I'd known from the beginning. I think writing a Substack will be healing for you. I hope you take that step. God bless you.
It is test for something for sure and it was decided to call it "Intelligence test". Now I think I need to research the history of it LOL
Wow! Fascinating!
Unless the numbers of excess deaths in their own circles continue to climb. I kind of think psychologically they just can't go there because 1) they can't admit they fell for the scam 2) they took it and might be next - too frightening.
Remember when we thought we could change the world?
But then we couldn't even change one family member's mind?
My brother was murdered 4 month ago in a hospital ,with the deadly protocol treatment of isolation [ Imprisonment ] sedation ,remdesivir and ventilators .He went in there because of a flu and was dead 6 days later .It was meditated murder ,for profit .Dr's Yeadon, Dr .Latus Dextro agree that it was murder. .Just today Dr. Joseph Mercola had an Article on the Lew Rockwell edition ,for Thursday FEB.3RD. about the crimes and murder in hospitals for profit .The treatment as I wrote above kills about 90% of patients .Maybe the 10 % fled when they noticed they would be exterminated if they stay .We lived 800 km. apart and I had no idea he went in there .His son told me what went on after he was dead .Non of the ones around him are informed ,they are health illiterate .It may be if I had known from the start ,that I could have saved his life ,because I know hoe they operate ,from the start .
Joe, I am deeply sorry for your the loss of your brother. I am saddened and outraged simultaneously that this could even happen…here, now, ever!
Hospitals should be a place of peace, healing, and comfort…but now they are a place of fear, isolation, and murder. As a former LPN, I’ve always preached to my family and friends that they should ALWAYS have/bring an advocate to the ER or hospital or when having any procedures done. I have no doubt that the “no visitors” BS was to make sure there was no one there to speak on the patient’s behalf. No one to monitor who was coming or going…no one to witness what was being done or not being done…no one to question or request their actions or non-actions…making it a perfect scenario to carry out their evil plans unchecked. I truly want to know who certified or incentivized hospitals to receive tax payer funding for anything COVID..who okayed this medical “quid pro quo”????
Thank you Caroline .It seems unreal ,but the kill for money is real .Please watch the Joseph Mercola episode on the Lew Rockwell edition feb.2nd it explains every thing .
Joe - I'm so very sorry about the loss of your brother. My heart and prayers go out to you.
Thank you Laura .
Laura Ego and Pride can really hurt one’s ability to see truth . I have a son that can be so prideful that it inhibits his ability to learn , like a brick wall . So smart but the ego gets in his way at times . Some tough lessons he is living thru as a young man . I pray he sees the light.
He will Bro. He is young. Just give it time. 🙏😘❤️
Thanks Laura.
Often that divisive situation exists ,between husband and wife .My wife for example is treating me better than I treat her ,the best I have .But when it comes to authority types ,for her they are untouchable .. I.m the opposite a critical thinker and a rebel. Politicians F.O.
Spielberg is only smart in that he is able to extract money from people less smart than he.
Of which, there are many.
Personally, I'll take Spielberg and Hollywood's advice on healthcare when I decide to take the investment advice of the local homeless gentleman down the street.
Love this article especially the line about the “full event passes for three years of Fear Fest.” I am not a movie buff so I could care less about Spielberg, but I grew up listening to Jackson Browne. Seeing some of my favorite artists take such a hard line on vaccines and masks was very disturbing. I really didn’t care about any artist’s political views but promoting the Scamdemic changed not only my opinion but my play list.
I never get tired of posting this link. In honor of Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Gene Simmons, Dave Grolhl, and countless others.

brilliant!
don't forget joni mitchell
Bob Moran is an amazing individual.
There's a lengthy interview with him on Brand New Tube if you get the chance - you can see some of his cartoons too - equally astonishing.
Perfect!
One of my respits from this psyop was limiting my intake of tv/radio and revisiting my cd collection. It worked. And then neil young had to open his big mouth, and the sludge moved into the music arena. I used to be accepting of others simplistic, emotional views. Now I prefer not to hear them, especially those shared via righteousness and arrogance. I am grateful change does not cripple me, as I create a personal new world order and social circle.
As much (partly deserved) heat as Scott Adams is taking over his positing that those who instinctively mistrusted government "lucked out," in my own personal experience, there's some truth there. I've often wondered why I, a barely high school graduate from podunk Iowa, smelled a rat immediately while so many I perceived as infinitely smarter came so quickly under the spell. Some still there. 🙄
While an inherent distrust of authority was certainly helpful, it's not the whole story. The Scott Adams of the world would have you believe only shiny experts like him are capable of real analysis. They sleep better at night assuming losers like myself can't possibly learn.
I read a theory that people who were raised in harsh circumstances, ie no father in the home, abuse (that would be myself) or such as my husband who's parents joined a religious cult when he was a toddler so grew up being lied to, and people such as yourself who are self made didn't fall for the deception because "we" already are naturally mistrustful of authority and a bit cynical so we spotted the inconsistencies early. Just a theory.
Perhaps but I grew up in an intact family and thought from Day 1 that it was deeply wrong to lock the healthy down.
I am, by nature, a very skeptical and cautious person…however, I have a different theory altogether. Of course logic and common sense is a huge factor, but for me…the strongest indicator that something was VERY “off” about the whole pandemic (and all of its many facets) was that “sense”, feeling, or inner voice telling me that something wasn’t right about all of this. I “felt” something was wrong long before I began to put 2 and 2 together. Call it a “gut feeling”, intuition, the Holy Spirit, or whatever you like…but it’s the LIFE force that guides us…not in a spoken word, but that undeniable inner feeling. There’s so much “noise” in the world that we have to deliberately quiet our mind so we can “hear” that which speaks to us via our soul. Unfortunately, I feel there is a vast societal disconnect from the very source (God) that guides us in truth and deception…thus, there are many lost souls.
That’s been my experience as well. The cunning lies were patently obvious to me but few others I know. My childhood was off the charts in terms of harshness and deceit so I read through things others ignore.
Funny how your deepest wounds can work to your benefit. Survival of the weakest, perhaps. Plus there’s an element of pride I think helped hoist many by their own petard. So sure of their intelligence they became fools.
I think there’s some truth in that - at least in my case. It may also help explain why I feel so pissed off at the smug sheep (like Adams), as maybe I also subconsciously harbor some resentment at how easy they’ve always had things?
You’re probably right! I’m skeptical to begin with having been raised in a violent household.
I have more credentials than Adams, and it sounds like you have less. However, we are both smarter than him.
Ergo, credentials are simply not determinative of smartness.
Who is Scott Adams?
he writes Dilbert comics.
Schooling has a way of working the "smart" out of people.
Intuition is a powerful force. If you're tapped into it you can see things a lot more clearly
Simple thought experiments could show that the R0 numbers and lethality estimates were a total lie--either R0 was very high and we should have all been dead/dying by April 2020, or something wasn't correct. High spread/low death == not serious, Low spread/high death == also not serious. And there was never the bad case, of high spread/high death in evidence. Which is why observational reality is so necessary! You don't need a PhD in statistics and regression models or any of it to understand that you weren't stepping over dead bodies in the streets and the local municipalities were not impressing the remaining able-bodied people to go house to house to remove corpses.
2 words: Diamond Princess 🙂
Yep. So many people don’t trust their lived experience anymore. If it was that dangerous you’d see evidence of it in your life.
The lightbulb went on for me when a friend told of going to NYC to help with the mortuary duties as he had during the search for bodies at the World Trade buildings.
First day nothing to do.
Second day nothing to do.
Looking around, he noticed the mortuaries were closed.....due to covid.
The crematories were closed........due to covid.
The cemeteries were closed.......due to covid.
The average daily death toll for NYC is 145-150.
Rember the breathless narrative that each and every legacy media talking head spewed while showing the reefer trailers being loaded up with dead bodies?
WHERE ELSE COULD THEY GO???
Don't forget about the Navy hospital ships that were breathlessly demanded by people like DeBlasio sat empty at anchor in NY Harbor and were never used.
The Navy ships were not used because.....Trump.
The hospital set up by Franklin Graham was summarily escorted out of town because....Christians.
They had to limit the number of hospital beds so that the covid infected could be transferred to nursing homes.
Coumo saved over a billion dollars per year on nursing home payments by eliminating grammy and grampy.
You’re smart-they’re not!
💬 only the government, superheroes, superweapons, superdoctors or now, supermasks or superjabs can save them.
Notice how government alone comes without an explicit super- prefix? It’s already perfect saviour in and of itself, no need for enhancement. Thoroughly illustrative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have been saying this for 3 years, mostly in response to my patients who say: 'My [spouse/parent/sibling] is really smart; they just fell for the whole covidmania theater: mask, lockdown, jabs. BUT, they're really smart.'
To which I respond: COVID has been several mostly bad things, but above all, it's been an IQ test, and the most important IQ test of our lives. Those who flunked wallowed in covidmania.
Smart does not equal eagerness to follow asinine marching orders.
Nope. The COVID theater has been a test of the ability to withstand pressure. Intelligence and courage have nothing to do with each other. To make matters worse, smart cowards will often use their intelligence to rationalize their cowardice. *Especially* if they cannot admit to themselves that they are cowards. Those who actually realize they are cowards may end up acting more courageously because they deliberately correct for their cowardly instincts. Ah, but the mice who think they are lions... And some of those mice actually do have a high IQ and will use it to concoct stories to convince themselves and others that they really, truly are lions. And that's what got us into this mess.
Agreed that intelligence and courage are different, not to be conflated. The topic of the article, and the one I addressed is intelligence, not courage.
Mark is correct that intelligence is incompatible with falling for the obviously scammy COVID lies.
the elite globalist swine - no offence to pigs on the farm - worked on emotions over intelligence. they trotted out trump to tell his tale , and then let the divide and conquer do its jab, i mean job ...
Even though my intelligence quotient is below absolute O I knew from the start ,the game they where playing with us so I never took part in any covid ceremonies ,or joining the cult .I feel sorry for the ones who where forced to take injections ,to keep their job .I'm retired ,so there was no boss to force me to poison myself .
No, I disagree. Intelligent people will typically use their intelligence in a lawyerly fashion. That guy who got OJ acquitted is one smart guy indeed. It doesn't mean OJ is innocent.
What do you do if you're a status-conscious coward with a high IQ? You do your best to convince yourself and others that COVID is the new plague and that we must all act accordingly.
Doing that is absolutely a dumb thing to do.
Imagine you're a coward with a nice family and a nice house, and you're in no danger of losing your job. It actually kinda makes sense for you to "shield" and let the medical system figure COVID out. (Remember all those ventilators that killed people? They eventually figured out it wasn't the right thing to do. Eventually.) Sure, "shielding" will destroy or at least badly damage the lives of countless other people, but who cares about other people? So, you use your intelligence to justify your cowardice to yourself and others. And that's precisely what happened.
Granted, they badly miscalculated with the mRNA juice, but that's a somewhat separate story, and it has to do with greed and vanity.
That wouldn't be a morally defensible fallback.
Don't forget all the cartoonish cleaning of every surface that was going on in the earlier months--hand sanitizer, wipes, quarantined/embargoed library books and packages. Then finally when some group at MIT did some research on the incessant cleaning, they determined than none of that cleaning amounted to a hill of beans for an airborne respiratory virus! I only wish the mask thing could have been headed off as sharply!
No, not necessarily. It's a *cowardly* thing to do. You know those physics PhDs with dozens of publications who went along with all of this? It won't do to call them stupid. There's a different explanation, and it has to do with courage (or rather, lack thereof).
In response, I could copy and paste Mark's entire article, because he has already written a successful rebuttal to what you say. Again, courage is a separate issue. Covidiots refused to learn:
1) the lessons of 20th century Eastern European history (the more you comply now, the more you will suffer later, and there is an irony in cowardice vs courage, in that history shows that the cowardly always suffer more in the end);
2) refused to look into PCR history or mechanism (both of which were a very shaky foundation on which to assume any data on IFR, CFR, morbidity, mortality);
3) assumed semi-suffocation would somehow work out alright, despite the obvious fact that no successful animal species has put an obstacle to their respiration;
4) ignored very basic virology, that no coronavirus has ever had a safe or effective vaccine;
5) ignored that mRNA was brand new to mass vaccination, and had dangerous results in humans and animals previously.
People who fell for the scam are indeed not smart, as Mark has argued at greater length. It is important to recognize this, because they should never be upheld as role models for handling future crises. I agree with Mark that they should hang their heads in shame and listen to smarter people in the future, rather than censoring and shunning us.
I don't expect anyone from the Hollyweird cult to go against the narrative publicly. I have a feeling most actually know it's all a load of bullshit.

TRANSCRIPT [BRIEF EXCERPT: RFK Jr. on speaking out, and on orthodoxy]
1:05:47
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.: There's two kinds of people. There are sort of, there are people like doctors and scientists and movie stars, etcetera, who come up to me and say, I'm with you a hundred percent, but I can't say anything. So there's those people which I understand, And then there are—
BRIAN ROSE: Do you understand, though? Do you understand?
ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.: I do. I tend to be, you know, look, the thing, I've made some choices about my own life. They're difficult. And there's cause attached to them, there's relationship causes family causes, etcetera, you know. But I also had a resilience most people don't have because I have a lot of trial lawyers who are on my side and who make sure that I get work. Right? And I have and, you know, some people in the environmental community who continue to support me. So, and I have friendships and I have a long track record, and so no matter how much they try to hurt me, I have some, I have a greater resilience than most people. But if you're a doctor, if you're an actor, and you come out, you are out of work. And your entire platform is removed. So you can make one statement, it's not going to go very far, and you're going to get hammered, and then you're off the grid and silent forever. And you know, you probably didn't do that much good. So I have compassion for people who feel like they can't come forward. And I don't judge them.
But there are other people, most of the people are actually subsumed in orthodoxy. And when you are in that orthodoxy it's a religious-like belief where it does not allow you to hear criticism of it, that people, you know, it's, there was a bunch of, it's like Stockholm Syndrome. You know, they lock you up, they tell you the only way to survive for you and your children is by complete obedience to this, you know, these authorities. And the people who are being locked up and abused become grateful to their captors and they come to see anybody who interferes or criticizes their captors as a dangerous person, who is endangering their lives, is immoral, who's bad. And they won't listen. They literally have their fingers in their ears, going nah-nah-nah-nah-nah. And that, I think is something that anybody like yourself, I know you know what I'm talking about because I know that you tried to talk to people who are rational adults who have always shared values with you, and watched them get up angrily and leave the room or leave the table. And you know, you're like, wow, what just happened? Well that's what happened.
Orthodoxy is an ingrained trait. It was biologically hard-wired into our systems during the 20 million, or 20,000 generations that humanity was wandering the African savanna in little tiny warring groups where your survival depended on your obedience, your unit cohesion, your obedience to a powerful male leader, and looking at everybody in your little group as part of your tribe, and excusing any kind of bad behavior, and anybody outside your group as the enemy, as inhuman, as dangerous, and where anything they did that was wrong had to be interpreted as an attack on you. And that's all hardwired into us, and, you know, it's part of who we are. It's you know, it's one of the things that, orthodoxies are dangerous and they're often lethal. And they share a lot of characteristics, but all of them are rooted in human biological impulses.

Thank the gods for RFK Jr and people like him. He’s a gem!
Let's also spare a pair of thank-yous to @TranscriberB 'transcribing for the historical record' 🙂
Some of them have, like Rob Schneider and Letitia Wright, an up and coming star who was in Black Panther. Woody Harrelson has always been a good critical thinker too.
There aren’t many but there are a few!
Yes indeed! Add to the list Clifton Duncan.

Love him!
Last night I was watching Julia Roberts & George Clooney 2022 movie, “Ticket Paradise”, Both of them I noticed, their eyes seemed strange!!! Also, so boring couldn’t even finish it!!! Something was certainly lost somewhere in the movie despite the glorious setting of Bali. Have to wonder if their brains and acting abilities have been compromised?? Both have aged (perhaps noticeably) but that never effected other actors performances in the past that I recall.
I can not stomach tv shows anymore, certainly not recent ones.
Hubbs and I watch old stuff on Britbox
I've been living on a steady diet of Endeavour, Morse, Lewis, and a whole array of Vera, Miss Scarlett, All Creatures Great and Small, etc, for the last 3 years. I can't stand any of the new series, which are mostly from America.
Wow! I have been binging on Vera for the last few weeks!!! I came to the end of it over the weekend, and now I feel bereft. Not sure why I can only watch British crime drama anymore. Any good suggestions?
Wallender. deep and moving. Gosh, I have seen so many good things on Britbox.
Thank you!!!
I felt that way when I came to the end of the Endeavour based series. Broadchurch was really good, which is sadly only 3 seasons.
Yes! I loved Broadchurch. I will watch the Endeavor series. Thank you.
Pluto TV has so many of the sitcoms from the 60s-80s and more. I've been watching Family Affair on Roku TV channel.
yes, we have several apps now that we watch old Johnny Carson? Pluto? old Columbo, I have seen all of Wings now, and Seinfeld was on a while last year. That stuff is a blast to watch. I can not tolerate woke tv.
Me neither. It's been a lot of Family Ties and Taxi for us lately.
I loved Taxi.
We have watched all of Fraser, and all of Seinfeld
I watch to search out all of everything James Garner has been in.
My favorite is Rockford Files but he is excellent in everything.
Old tv is so much better than anything on now.
That said If you get Brit box, oh boy do I have a long list for you.
Try to watch the thee Stooges ,when they come back on a re run .It may be that Biden will join them ,that would make it the four stooges .
Biden is too dumb to be a stooge
DanWebber--- You are giving a lot of the Hollywood cult too much credit, most of them are not terribly bright and some don't even have the brains to realize how there being manipulated
That may be true, but I think they know what happens to the ones that go off track.
I have a Masters degree from Boston University, so I be smart. Wait AOC went there as well, should have sold that stock short.
This essay really highlighted one of the major frustrations I had with Coronamania. When I would try to have a fact based discussion with people using the percentages and real life numbers from my state, they'd just fall back on the lame, “well, I don’t want to be that one person who could die from it”. Then the cognitive dissonance over the vaccines was stunning. I remember a conversation with a woman who had been in hospital administration. It was a weird circular conversation in which I pointed out the vaccines didn’t stop her from getting CoVid. Basically, the conversation ended with her saying , “well , I still think everyone should get one,.” It was so bizarre to see people unable to form a cogent argument once you refuted the talking point with actual facts. It was truly as if they never thought beyond what they were told. It was like living in an alternate universe with a bunch of preprogrammed zombies.
I had a similar conversation, about mandates for health care workers. “I don’t need my 89 year old mom worked on by an unvaccinated nurse”. But why, if Mom is vaxxed, does it matter? No answer, subject dropped, friendship basically over.
During the past three years, reason has threatened so many people.
Celayne Jones ---- Hate to break the news to you, but you don't want to be friends with a dumbed down man/woman----It is better to be alone than to keep bad company
Agree 100%.
Listen to the bioweapon shot commercials on the radio. First it was "the shots are safe and effective," then it was "the shots are effective" and now it's just "get the shots." Even marketing people know there is no need for facts.
Yes, and no there are no "experts" faces in the ads. All cartoons.
Please be careful every one ,because some men got pregnant from the shot ,wife's file for divorce .Lucky me I''m still a virgin .
Fear inactivated their ability to think clearly.
I, too, felt some fear but, like the rest of us I suspect, fought to remain logical and evidence based despite my feelings.
I didn't fear this CV for one minute. Why would the most lethal respiratory virus in history suddenly burst onto the scene, esp. during an election year?
And why were we locking down everyone when only old, sick people dying?
I had the same experience with a doctor recently. They are all still wearing masks, he sanitized his hands before he walked in the room, then refused to shake my hand! I said "oh, you're a germaphobe!" He got all flustered. To him, this stuff is all just good practice, whether or not any of it works is not his concern, I guess. These are the same types of people who allowed the extermination of the Jews to go forwards because none of them ever would risk asking a pertinent question about how mad their society had become. I will not stop harping on it because it is *dangerous* behavior. Sooner or later, some group is going to be scapegoated again.
Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s site is hosting an EXCELLENT five part series documentary about how we’re all Jews now, Never Again is Now Global by Vera Sharav. You can watch the episodes there:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/
And they wring their hands about drug-resistant bacteria. It’s apparently difficult to get a prescription for antibiotics because guidelines tell the corporate docs not to over-prescribe them because Drug Resistant Bacteria!!! which probably stems more from anti-bacterial soap use and those damn hand sanitizers.
This topic of intelligence/smartness overlaps with another topic: a survival mindset. I wish I could cite the studies, but there have been some that show that in a crisis situation, around 10% of the population are survivors, 10% panic, flail about and can ruin it for everyone else -- and the 80% in the middle can be led to safety (and are looking for leaders to tell them what to do).
Perhaps this is another axis of "smartness" -- but it is actually an automatic type of reaction. 10% automatically, instinctively "know" where the exit to safety is, and make a beeline towards it, often ignoring everyone else around them. They just know what to do. (this is not always a literal "exit" but can also be a "fight or flight" reflex -- sometimes fighting is the necessary survival behavior, and it is almost as though superhuman strength or power takes over, temporarily, to get the person out of the situation)
The fire and airplane safety drills that we do are to help ingrain some of this automatic, instinctive behavior through training and repetition into the 80% in the middle. However, in an emergency, there is still a need for a leader, with a bullhorn or loud voice, or over a loudspeaker, to guide and tell the herd where to go and what to do -- in as calm a way as possible. This works for most people. And prior drills do help.
Well -- back to COVID -- what happened? Our "leaders" were fake and led us astray. They, too, many of them, were also similarly led astray, though a significant number are in on the plot. And the voices of those true leaders who really were trying to save people were silenced and censored.
When an emergency or sudden crisis occurs, the herd becomes frightened (and the TV told us to be frightened, didn't it?), the 10% survivors go into heightened senses, instinctive survival mode (which is beyond logic or is kind of a higher form of thinking -- people in this group will understand what I'm talking about). But the 80% in the middle want to be reassured by a person in authority who will guide them to safety. The propaganda voice has been the loud voice, and the herd listens to the loudest voice.
This CV simply was never a threat to most people. People who thought it was were, as you say, deceived by evil individuals. To lock down or to vaxx were very easy calls to any thinking person.
You know, I am probably about the same age as you are. I was taught "go along to get along." Apparently, that lesson did not stick with me; I've been gently mocked over the years, accused of being stubborn or contrary to what others thought I should be doing.
Manipulation of others is evil; I won't do it, and I'm against having it done to myself. I try to warn people.....
I observed some of my indoctrinated loved ones totally taken in by the BS. Others were confused but trusting of authority. And still others knew quite well that they were being coerced, but they would rather go along to get along. Yeah. They would rather be injected with a slow (?)-kill bioweapon, to be accepted by others. SMH.
The most horrifying part of this, to me, is discovering how much of an outlier I am. I truly thought there were more of us.
True., Dani.
If you live in DC and want to meet, I get down there sometimes.

Dani Richards ---I'll sum up your whole article -----Anyone that needs 'leaders' to tell them what to do is WEAK, so by your numbers 80% of the people are weaklings. I'll take it a step further, anyone that believes what comes out of the mouths of these leaders is simply not that bright --- Sad 100% fact
yup
Chris Martenson at Peak Prosperity calls this ability "a fast adjustment reaction". The people who can process new information and facts and quickly adjust their mental model in response to a risky situation tend to do better than people who have a slow adjustment reaction or cannot process new information at all. In this era of low signal to noise media, those that have a fast adjustment reaction will outperform and likely outlive those with slow ones.
Great stuff Mark.
One of the odd silver linings of Covid is that those who played for Team Reality the last 3 years can now know their critical thinking and decision making skills are in the top decile of society.
As well, we have been given full transparency to the quality (or lack of quality) of decision making of others in your life and in positions of authority or prestige. Offering a pretty good roadmap for who to pay attention to going forward.
A level of clarity most would have never had.
Thanks, Captain.
It's hard to feel good about being smarter than most people. So much permanent damage has been done by the stupid.
What constitutes a person as being smart? Let's set up a little spectrum just for discussion purposes. On this spectrum, there are three reference points. Smart based on intelligence, credentials, and practicality.
I know some truly intelligent people. But I would not say they are smart. Their discernment powers are not great. They certainly know a lot, but whether it is useful is another matter.
I know many highly credential people. Some of them are smart because they have learned to transcend the validation of the credential to achieve significance in their field. The question is,"Take them out of their institutional setting of their credential, what happens then?"
And, I know people who would not rate high on an IQ scale or have any credentials, and yet, they are incredibly smart. They are because they have used what talent that they have to create a life that matters. One of those people is a friend of mine. An unspectacular high school education. No higher education. No professional credentials. Spent his life as a store clerk. And, yet, his intuitive sense of people and organizational situations is absolutely remarkable. He is a wise man. I find it far easier to trust him than many of the intelligent, credential people that I know because he is not confused by abstract arguments. Every time I am with him, I learn something.
Ecclesiastes 1:18 speaks of the limits of human wisdom:
“For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.”
We’ll said.
my BF kept asking "are we crazy? what if everyone is right and we're wrong?" i had no such doubts and besides, if the vaccines were everything their advertising claimed, i still reserve- even if it works out to my detriment, the right not to take them.
i saw so many formerly logical intelligent health conscious people go off the rails, start behaving in ways that were the opposite of how they had always been before.
on the phone with an acquaintance in NY one night, she could hear over my speaker phone the happy completely normal noise of my neighbor's family enjoying the balmy evening in the privacy of their own backyard. she panicked and demanded that i call the police immediately to turn them in! i would never do any such thing and i wouldn't have thought that she would either, especially since she's jewish and must have heard sad histories of her people being betrayed by their neighbors more than a few times.
and yet, scratch her kind tolerant humane appearing surface and you release a petty tyrant. scratch my surface as far down as you like and i'm still me. i didn't change.
i've always been rebellious, always mistrusted organized medicine, always steered clear of doctors, always handled any virus or flu in my own contrary way, always sourced my food carefully.
imagine me waking up one morning and being totally compliant, completely trusting of medicine, running to a doctor at the slightest sniffle, treating a flu with tylenol, and eating any old garbage that came in a package!
i wouldn't recognize myself!!
i pass through life these days, wondering who all these people are. could i trust them? would they turn on me? if the chips were down, who among them would be steadfast and true? it's pretty sobering
It’s disappointing, and perhaps depressing at times, but better to see them clearly now than remain under the illusion that the sleeping tyrants could be trusted.
I believe, regarding colleges, that they were mega bribed with m[b]illions of taxpayer funded money to be that stupid. Maybe they weren’t so stupid after all, just mega evil.
I mention that. As an attorney, and as a human being, it's a very weak defense.
Exactly. Naomi Wolf uncovered Yale got more $$ from HHS than all of student tuition. Strong incentive.
And she correctly pointed out Yale is engaged in a form of Human Trafficking, selling the Students’ bodies to the highest bidder.
This is so full of truth. Common sense trumps a degree of any kind. Our society is so backwards in its values in so many ways, and the remedies they concoct to control people and the environment, such as all of wokeism, exemplify the UTTER STUPIDITY of the uber educated and brainwashed.
Thank you for writing this. As a physician, I am surrounded by doctors who have drank the Kool-Aid, and have gone off the deep end with Covid fear porn. It is very lonely, but I have no option, knowing what is right.
The medical class has been a profound disappointment. That's saying something, since I only visit a doctor as a last resort. But I guess there is a reason why the words "doctor" and "indoctrination" not only share the same root, but are practically the same. Not to mention the financial incentives that must have convinced those who didn't quite swallow the Kool-Aid....
That said, I salute every doctor who has had and has the conscience and the courage to stand up for their right as a professional to act in accordance with what they know to be true, for the health and benefit of their patients and for the laws they are supposed to follow! Kudos, because I am sure it is a lonely place, and that it can mean the end of a medical career.
At the same time, it's an opportunity to reassess your work and your values to perhaps find a new tribe that is better suited to where you find yourself at now, having been disillusioned yourself, and practice your work in a different way, outside the medical establishment (which I, personally, abhor). Good luck on your journey!
It's lonely in my field, too--my career as a software engineer has been badly damaged by all this. It's bringing about a collapse in my livelihood. I don't think all the remote work is remotely healthy, either. I refused the jab and had to leave one job, but honestly, that was more just the last straw for that place versus any big loss. But since then, my work has been very spotty. 2022 was the worst year of my career. Ageism is also being pushed harder than ever, as well as anti-white male sentiment, all behind a veil of Covid do-gooding.
