The “could’ve been worse” BS line has no science behind it. Because it’s been spewed from the blow horns of media and government officials 24/7, people like my parents, believe it. I hate what the liars have done to good people. The liars should have a covid vax drip installed in their veins permanently.

That is all they can say honestly because they NOW know they were sold a lie and lost their critical thinking skills. I wonder if any of them now thing "hm what ELSE was I wrong about"??

Yeah, it's clear that one lie often reveals others. Work backward from the vaxx lies and see the whole past 30 months have been a lie.

I went all the way back to 9/11. Now I think EVERYTHING I’ve ever believed was a lie.

Most of you are not old enough to remember, but even as a child I thought it nonsense that Jack Ruby, about to die of cancer anyway, was able to walk right up to the one person that actually knew the story of the Kennedy assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald, while surrounded by the best security of the day, and assassinate him. Ruby was a small time crook and could have given a damn less about the President being shot. It was clearly a setup (likely CIA but who knows) and they have lied about it for 60 years. Why stop ever?

For many years I thought I was just not understanding something. Sadly, I came to understand that what I was not understanding was the government's intentional lying to the populace, virtually all the time.

Sobering. I am with the group that says if the government says something, assume the opposite and you will be far more likely to be correct.

Congress passed a bill requiring all the JFK materials be released, the date for which happened to fall wi the Trump presidency.

He released a portion but didn’t release it all.

Like you, I pretty much thought the same thing but with all that’s been going on since just before Trump took office and especially now that Biden is in, my eyes have really opened up. I’m sure if the Dems &/or left gets their way, we will never get to see those documents about the JFK assassination.

Correct, because the CeeEyeAy took him out.

Ruby absolutely was a CIA asset - w/I the last year I read quite an eye-opening piece about him and his subsequent trial (and the endless delays resulting in his death before it could take place.)

Just before the trial was to actually happen, a psychiatrist from the University of Oklahoma - who later left OU to run an infamous top secret LSD operation at UCal Berkeley - met with Ruby.

Ruby never spoke again.

There are so many holes in the official 9-11 story, I can't believe I ever bought it.

Just for starters: a plane did not crash in that field in Pennsylvania. We all saw the footage on TV which featured a smoking hole about 15x30 feet, but no debris field, no bodies, no nothing to indicate a plane crashed there, and we somehow believed a plane crashed there? Just because "they" said so. What the hell? That is some serious black magic, man.

It's scary, but also fascinating. How did they do it?

It's like the reporter outside the pentagon.

One report.

Hard to find.

But it does not support the plane into building narrative.

Expand full comment

I grew up in a very rural area but I always like to watch people as events unfold. I was living in Brooklyn during 911 and I was in the habit of watching people all of the time especially because I worked in the psychology field at the time.

When I saw the plane hit the building and then the building fall directly into his footprint I was watching people and just saw their shock over the situation. From a psychological standpoint their mind is completely open to be told what is happening by the authorities. They’re basically in a deep delta state.

I then noticed how the news showed the plane going into the buildings the buildings falling into their footprint and then the pictures of the supposed perpetrators. And it was that loop over and over and I watched the expressions on their faces change from the shock to fear and finally anger. I wasn’t surprised when Bush came on with his call for retaliation.

I also noticed how they never showed Ground Zero. Perhaps that’s because the buildings were more powder than anything else. Can’t have (in the masses) memories of how ground zero looked because it certainly wouldn’t look anything like a building that was impacted by a jet and fell. They also hauled it away and cleaned up as fast as they possibly could (To save the American people from pain). Can’t have an untidy crime scene now can we.

Martin Luther King Jr,

"On some positions cowardice asks the question, is it safe?

Expediency asks the question, is it politic?

Vanity asks the question, is it popular?

But conscience asks the question, is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position

that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular

but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."

Did you see the video of George Bush saying that the terrorists purposefully "PLACED THE EXPLOSIVES" so that the people above couldn't escape.

Expand full comment

An update. When I read the transcript of Bush's speech, he appeared to be talking about "other" planned attacks against America, so the quote does appear to have been taken out of context.

That does not explain the many other glaring anomalies in the official story about Sept 11th.

I never previously believed in the "conspiracies", but seeing architects and engineers pick holes in the official story and witnessing the events of the last few years have opened my eyes to what our glorious leaders are capable of and how much they all lie.

The last 2.5 years have made me much more skeptical, but I still can't buy that 9/11 wasn't a foreign jihadist attack. The leaps of logic are too great.

Expand full comment

The "leaps of logic" required of us by those who failed miserably that day (if one believes the official story) such as the entire U.S. government, its military, and all its agencies responsible for the defense of this country are easy for you to make, Jon?

If you could take five minutes for a review of that "logic", I offer this: https://youtu.be/ieww8Ws1nDY

Given the stunning failure of the military and other air defense systems that day, naive little me -- still a believer back then -- declared that same day, "Heads are gonna roll for this."

Ahhh...Well, we all have to grow up some time.

Expand full comment

I don’t know what happened that day but a plane did not crash in that field in Pennsylvania. Look back at the original photos from the scene. There is no debris field, not a single scrap of metal. Never before nor since has that happened. Just sit with that for a while. Nothing else. Just that one thing. The leaps of logic required to explain how there was no debris field are too great.

Once you sit with that turn your attention to WTC building 7. It also collapsed that day, and it only had a few small fires smoldering. Watch the footage of it falling and compare it to footage of controlled demolitions.

WTC7 was only the third skyscraper in the world to collapse like that, and it hasn’t happened since. Guess what the other two were?

Again, I don’t know who was behind what happened that day but I do trust the evidence of my own eyes and ears. Believing the official story requires me to ignore all of that.

Perhaps looking up "Operation Northwoods" would allay your skepticism.

I also found it hard to accept but after reading some things and the scamdemic, I don't know what to believe anymore. Best to not believe anything from government.

Laura- Another thing I keep thinking about is the "Shoe Bomber" at the airport story. It seemed a bit crazy at the time, but we all bought it because of all the paranoia after 9-11, and because of it, we now have the dept of Homeland Security to thank for the indignities of removing our shoes and having all our liquids sorted out, etc.

Expand full comment

The airport shoe removal ritual serves as psychological prep for further absurdities forced upon the populace such as masking and social distancing as part of Operation Covidia.

It has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with social control of a restive population within a system of vast financial and social inequality.

Yes, absolutely right! In hindsight, you can see it all very clearly.

Thank god they didn't do the same wrt the "underwear bomber!" FYI, an American lawyer named Kurt Haskell observed Abdulmutallab being escorted *past* security.

Director of DHS at the time, Michael Chertoff, had ownership in full body scanner BAE systems and has since held owner stakes and represented both BAE, RapiScan (AKA RapeScan), and others. People call this "security theater," but the "need" for security was invented from the ground up. DHS has never foiled a terror plot, and the only terror incidents to occur have all been CIA false-flags and FBI patsies. It's just a treasury dip, with the added benefit of solidifying control and eroding our rights.

The classic 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘺 explanation is that every time some new atrocity came out of Vietnam, an Apollo mission was there to overtake the headlines and nightly news. A possibility.

What I think more important with any conspiracy- JFK/911 etc., is that we are free to explore all sorts of theories to our hearts content (there is a cottage industry of intelligence assets doing limited hangouts exposing various government misdeeds and pushing different theories) as long as we don't ever settle on the most obvious and correct theory. Remember, if we faked our moon missions, the Soviet 𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 knew and said nothing. That's an important detail in itself.

Obama used to do this all the time during the Crash: if we didn't do Cash for Clunkers, we would have had soup lines, etc.

People that would never accept the deterioration-of-society-without-religion idea never for a second accept this sort of reasoning, even as they see the collapse of civilization in real time.

When I think about this response of theirs, my attention keeps turning to the Apocalypse when seal after seal, trumpet blow after trumpet blow, seems only to solidify the wicked in their wickedness. They keep doubling down by refusing to turn and repent of the actions of their hands.

The Mass Formation is seemingly complete: they view their sin and evil as intrinsic to themselves. Moses described this as "having their hearts hardened".

Well, there are indeed studies that purport show vaccination does reduce severity. But it's been the case for many years, even pre-Covid as I know from my immersion in the nutrition science community, that you can pretty much find a 'scientific' study to support whatever position you want. Unfortunately, rather than engaging in some critical thinking and learning how to tease apart the more common statistical manipulation techniques, a lot of people just grasp onto whatever supports their fervent belief system.

On a slightly related topic, I wonder why there isn't more discussion about the fact that, if indeed the shots reduce severity, they could be making the 'pandemic' worse—by encouraging people to be out and about while infected, rather than staying home in bed.

They said it would prevent getting it; they said it would prevent spread; they said it lessened the intensity; they said it was safe.

Turns out they KNEW it didn't prevent getting it or spreading it. They said it was safe has been shown to be false by not only VAERS, but by a litany of different measures and data.

Does it lessen intensity. If all those others are false, then intensity is too.

It was all one big ass lie after another. The best course of action is to avoid the Jab and to open up Nuremberg Trials. But with 72 Senators receiving Pfizer Stash, and like 302 House members receiving receiving Pfizer Bucks, it's not going to happen.

Great piece once again. In my life experience, the most liberating act I have ever discovered, and it took me many years, was the act of just saying I'm sorry, and the simple words, I was wrong. Doing this immediately gives me the upper hand in most social situations. These simple words immediately move any confrontation into a more peaceful resolution. If these people would just say, I was wrong, I was misled, the healing of society would begin. But misplaced pride is a strong deterrent to this outcome.

My cousin and uncle were beasts to me a little over a year ago about their choices and mine being different. I gave up on having any kind of rational conversation with my cousin. After a few months, I reached out to my uncle in hopes that I would get a simple “I was wrong. I’m sorry.” That didn’t come. It still hasn’t come from either one of them. It astonishes me that this is the case. It does not do me any good at all to long for the simple statement to be said to me. I don’t think it will ever come. I don’t understand why, but I’m pretty sure that they will never ever articulate this simple statement. Cousins and uncles are not disposable relationships. It’s heartbreaking.

It's pretty rare for people to admit they were wrong and apologize, especially on a bigger type thing that caused a lot of contention.

Something to share with my tribe. It was on Malone’s stack “Sunday Strip” this past Sunday. I know it will resonate with all.

To ALL MY FRIENDS OUT THERE who know what's really going on ... To all my conspiracy realist friends ...

Yes, sometimes it's a curse and not always a blessing to be AWAKE.

Awakening is the most liberating, alienating, excruciating, empowering, lonely, confusing, freeing, frightening, expansive journey.

If you find yourself struggling as you try to process all this insanity, you are not alone.

No one talks about the darkness that accompanies awakening, or the GRIEF. Not only grieving the life and illusions you once had, but the realization that almost everything you thought you once knew, is a LIE.

The beliefs you've held, people you've trusted, principles you were taught- ALL LIES.

Shattering illusions is RARELY an enjoyable experience. There is a considerable amount of discomfort that comes with growth and the grieving process doesn't stop there.

With these newfound realizations, you then find yourself grieving all over again. Grieving for our children, knowing all too well the broken world they are inheriting. Grieving the loss of many relationships with people who just don't "get it".

Feeling alone, being ridiculed and shamed, not only by the masses, but for many of you, your very own family and friends too.

Feeling like you no longer have much in common with the people you are surrounded by. Struggling with carrying on bullshit, shallow conversations that lack substance with those who are still fast asleep.

Even feeling disconnected from your entire support system because they can't see what you see. Some even grieve the loss of their ignorance- because "ignorance is bliss" and reality is harsh. Awakening can be a lonely road and you will often find yourself journeying alone.

There is no way to sugar coat it- Awakening to the realities of this world is brutal. It will have you running through the entire gamut of human emotions.

You have to master the art of diving down the darkest of rabbit holes only to come out and still function in daily life, and that's a skill people don't talk about enough.

Some of you are struggling with feeling disconnected from family and friends, it's as though they exist in another world.

Please know you are NOT ALONE, and not only are you not alone, you have an entire tribe standing with you. We may be separated by miles, but we are DEEPLY connected; in purpose and in spirit
