Forgiveness, crazytown, securitization, bait & switch, Orwell v. Huxley, buffalo, Stasi, emotional labor, nature don't stop, cat finds his stride
Here are my latest thinking points:
Ain’t that the truth!
“People will forgive you for being wrong. Anyone can make a mistake. But they will never forgive you for being right.”
— Jimmy Dore
The state of our union
The ruling class wants to kill us.
The bougiecrats want to die in service of capital.
The rest of us are walking around in crazytown just shaking our heads at the absurdity of the whole situation.
Covid is about the Securitization of Bodies
1. Pharma/Big Chem/Big Wireless/DoD introduce chronic illness via their “medicines”, bioweapons (SARS-CoV-2), and toxic products.
2. Now that you are ill, Global Monopoly Capitalism (Pharma, Bill Gates, WHO, McKinsey, Biden...) asserts that the state owns your body as a matter of law — a sort of “pandemic eminent domain”. That’s what mandates, vaccine passports, 15 minute cities, and social credit scores imply — state ownership of your body.
3. But the real play here is that they want to LEASE YOUR BODY BACK TO YOU (keep you barely alive via expensive medicines) on a monthly subscription plan for the rest of your life.
Pay the subscription fee, you live, don’t pay, you die.
Securitization is pooling assets (mortgages, debts, loans, anything with a revenue stream) and repackaging them into interest-bearing securities (stocks & bonds that can be traded on the open market).
The value of a share of a pharmaceutical company is not just based on its product portfolio. The price of a Pharma stock reflects its product portfolio and the degree of media, political, academic, and regulatory capture that the company has achieved that enables it to force its products upon the population.
The bait & switch that destroyed American manufacturing and led to a massive increase in human suffering
In the early 1990s, Democrats who supported free trade claimed that those who lost out on these international agreements (American factory workers) would be retrained for higher paying jobs as symbolic analysts (computer programmers, graphic designers, global production managers).
That’s not what happened. There was a bit of retraining money but it ran out pretty quickly. For the most part, factory workers with only a high school education did not become computer programmers. Instead, they became unemployed, depressed, riddled with pain, and disabled.
As midwestern and Appalachian towns were getting destroyed by NAFTA and later, China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, Democrats expanded federal spending for “healthcare”. Pharma took advantage by flooding depressed factory towns with opioids... that now kill 100,000 Americans a year. Suicide kills another 50,000.
Instead of retraining, former factory workers got slow genocide. THAT’S why these towns vote overwhelming for Trump. They remember the broken promises and Trump is the only president in the last 50 years who opposed free trade (and actually imposed tariffs on foreign products).
Brilliant excerpt from Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death:
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.
Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much [information] that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.
Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.”
In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.
I love Orwell, but on every account Huxley was more prescient.
Same as it ever was
The U.S. Army killed the buffalo during Manifest Destiny for the same reason that the World Economic Forum wants to kill all of the cattle in Holland and Ireland during the Great Reset — they want to starve the people and drive them off their land so that the robber barons can steal everything.
The Stasi are never the good guys
Team Vaccine would not need a global army of censors if they had a single honest study showing that these things actually work as advertised. The fact that the censors exist proves that the evidence to support their claims does not.
The bougiecrats are not keen on emotional labor
I still cannot get over the fact that mainstream society completely skips out on the emotional labor of caring about the well-being of mainstream society:
• Autism?
• SIDS?
• SADS?
• People dying suddenly?
• Turbo cancers?
They deny, deflect, or say “it’s always been this way.” It hasn’t.
The bougiecrats want to be in control, they want to be in charge, they want to be seen as “experts”. However when it comes to the issues that cause the most suffering (that are actually pretty easy to understand) they just completely stop caring. Yet somehow they always find a way to keep profiting.
So that leaves the medical freedom movement doing all of the emotional labor for society. Okay, it is what it is. But if we are doing all of the emotional labor around here I think we should also be running the place.

Blessings to the warriors! 🙌
Prayers for everyone fighting to stop the iatrogenocide. 🙏
Huzzah for everyone building the alternative society our hearts know is possible. ✊
In the comments, please let me know what’s on your mind.
As always, I welcome any corrections.
Great article, once again. A recent Netflix series, along with Hulu both have series (Painkiller and Dopesick, respectively) that document the Oxy crisis. Actors, producers, directors, etc, all certainly had to do some level of research, right? The corruption of Purdue Pharma, the FDA, and on and on, yet these are the same people screaming for the jab. It’s insanity.
The idea of emotional labor is one I had not heard of, but can very much identify with; this has been hella difficult, to see the jabocide (1000 days of torture) while surrounded with others who do not/will not see it. People have sued for emotional damage, but the labor element is very significant. Maybe it's why part of me has had to cease caring, (about the untimely deaths of others) simply because it's too heavy to carry that day in and day out-so many of us would be sitting, wailing, unconsolable. The mind has it's protection mechanisms, and mine kicked in (as it did when it told me not to get the jab).
