During winters, my urban church hosted homeless men to sleep on cots in its basement. Between 15-20 men did so on any given night. Most of the men were amiable and respectful and chatted with me. One of them admitted, “There are people who would let me stay with them. But sometimes I drink too much and misbehave. So I wore out my welcome.”
If you’ve ever owned a business then you know how difficult it is to come up with clever, effective slogans. Big companies pay Madison Ave millions of dollars to do it for them. Even then many do not work out as planned and are immediately forgotten. The snappy vocabulary that materialized overnight since the start of the plandemic was a tell. It was an indication of advance planning. There’s no way this stuff just, happens. Particularly in the volume we were barraged with. We were hit with an extraordinarily well thought out marketing campaign. Even stuff like, “contact tracing”, I mean, seriously, who’d ever heard of such a thing? People should’ve questioned how an entirely new vocabulary showed up out of the blue.
That is a real long list of vapid propaganda slogans that were used during the scamdemic. I have to admit that each one of those slogans makes me angry. I think they make me angry because they are obviously untrue or just nonsense and yet so many people thought they were true and they incessantly repeated them like they were in-the-know. It was very effective propaganda. Hats off to our global masters. I believe that George Orwell would have been proud to include any of those slogans in his book.
I love the “if it saves one life “. There’s never been a causal connection between an asymptomatic person causing another person to get sick. PERIOD. EXCLAMATION POINT!
I refused to wear a mask and was confronted by so many people who told me to wear one. I kept saying, but I’m not sick. And they’d say that doesn’t matter, you have to wear one because you might be carrying and spreading a virus even though you’re not sick.
I would just look at them and say that’s ridiculous. And usually get called a name like a redneck or a trumper or a racist. So you wonder about that “science” behind saving even one life.
‘The New Normal’ to me was (and is) the most cringe-worthy and patently absurd slogan because it sums up all the other ridiculous ones in a tidy bow. Arrows in the supermarket aisles? Masked up people alone in their cars? The 6 foot distance thing? Shots or no employment? Hand sanitizer ubiquitous at countless businesses indoor and out? There’s so much more but is this normal? No-it’s sick, twisted, asinine and frankly, evil.
Someone we all know wrote a book. ‘The Audacity of Hope’ it was called. Although not a slogan, it too is a ridiculous title that very few people think about but apparently feel inspired by. The truth is, there is nothing audacious about ‘hope.’
I hope the Rangers win the cup. The single lady next door with 3 kids hopes she hits the Pick 6. Now, time for coffee. I ‘hope’ my wife makes it strong this time.
If only the sociopaths that pushed this evil, and their sycophants as well, had a sense of shame we could see change maybe even some big doses of justice in this lifetime.
Great stack as always!Television has helped cause the epidemic of attention deficit in people. It’s a time suck, and helped kitschy slogans catch on during the supposed pandemic. If you watch tv you know it’s all fake. All of it. I have a small solution for getting back to life as it should be. Shoot your TV.....read a book. 😀
The moral preening associated with these (and other) slogans is sickening to those of us who actually think and believe in truth.
By regurgitating these slogans the leftist, power-hungry elites and their vapid minions are able to elevate themselves while simultaneously demonizing any who refuse to follow along. Win/Win! (For them)
Unfortunately, we also have a “news” media that is a bought-and-paid-for part of this evil, intentional deception. With only a few real, independent, truth seeking journalists (like Mark) calling out this farce I’m afraid nothing is going to change.
It was all the slogans coming across the radio that initially caused me to question all of this early on...too planned, too "universal" (many countries were using the same slogans)- and how and why were they suddenly EVERYWHERE (signs in stores TV, radio, etc. etc.) I hated it when people would say "be safe"- NO- I live LIFE. There is more to life if you take risks and actually LIVE it! (PS- STILL actively TRYING to get this virus...sigh...just can't seem to!) Just today on our Public Health FB site, who had a post up pushing the kits that contain masks, tests and hand sanitizer (groan) someone said that "maybe if everyone would have gotten vaxxed then people wouldn't still be catching the virus"- SMH
Mark, as I read this I thought to myself: “Who comes up with this stuff?” and then I answered my own question: Writers. Writers like me come up with these slogans, for money or other rewards. It’s a good lesson for all of us: Think about what you write, what you send out to the universe, the long or even short term consequences. George Orwell clearly thought about what he wrote – and so do you.
Excellent! The one that really pissed me off was "We're all in this together". What a load of Amish exhaust.
On the other hand, John Prine ends one of his songs with an interesting and colorful slogan: "My Pappy always said "When yer dead, yer dead, and when yer dead, you ain't nothin but a dead peckerhead""
The scamdemic was so reminiscent of the Mitchell and Webb sketches about The Event I couldn't take it seriously in the beginning. 'Blessed be the regulations'. 'Remain indoors'. Unfortunately, many lives were ruined or extinguished by this calculated insanity.
All of these silly slogans, like most, have no basis in reality. You can usually tear them apart by questioning them from different angles. Questioning who is saying the slogan, who invented it, or asking for definitive proof often blow apart this nonsense. "Just Do It"...means what? Who can really say.
It's all a marketing clown show devised to make you feel guilty that you are not part of the gang that is bowing down to this tyranny and fraud. Marketing is always tyranny in that they want you to be controlled in some manner.

"...it is simply a fact that millions of lives have been saved because of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines..."
An outright lie stated by FDA after they admit the updated shots cause myocarditis/pericarditis in 131 people per 100,000.

Mark,
This article so clearly and comprehensively captures the essence of what made the”scamdemic” such a disaster .
One of your best,
I love the “if it saves one life “. There’s never been a causal connection between an asymptomatic person causing another person to get sick. PERIOD. EXCLAMATION POINT!

The audacity of me!
Thank you for continuing to call out the lies.

Yes! Our skin "sees" the light.
We have photoreceptors called melanopsin that are buried in our subcutaneous fat:

Thank you Mark for another article that hits us right between the eyes with truth.
