Yah! I shared far and wide. It Needed to be said and someone, albeit Alex, Finally Straight Up Said It. The pussyfooting of everyone else has been driving me crazy, lol, and has made go so far as to say or at least think "if we are this stupid then we must deserve what we're getting." I say Not.
And of course, main stream media then pounced on both of them. How dare they share "misinformation" and Berenson was accused of literally "killing people" with the truth. It's really the most insane time..... But God Bless the Canadian Convoy - representative of all of us and they could *not* be a better emblem of freedom!
I hear you, but if he's still speaking like he did on Tucker and getting the air time to begin with, stick with him for now. It's worth it--perhaps like forgiving a spouse after they've cheated.
With a tiny handful of exceptions, I haven’t been able to watch movies, documentaries, or television shows for years as the propaganda is so embarrassingly obvious, I cannot fathom how anyone tolerates being force-fed such tripe.
I find it bewildering that anyone could consume such button-pushing drivel with a straight face, but I suppose there wouldn’t be any Covidians around if critical thinking hadn’t become such a rare commodity.
Thanks for the rec, although I haven’t had time to watch anything recreational since I started this blog. Maybe after we defeat tyranny and end democide ;-)
*lol* I appreciate the nudge ;-) Problem is I already have probably a thousand videos/podcasts/articles in my queue and can’t even manage to get to those. I can only focus on what directly relates to the specific topic(s) I’m writing about at the moment and have to make peace with the fact that it’s impossible to consume everything I want to.
If you want to see some very effective propaganda for Pharma, allopathic medicine, etc., watch Doc Martin, a British TV show from a while back ('04-'12 I think). They push vaccines, sneer at anything close to alternative medicine, etc, make fun of the notion that a patient could possibly know anything about, well, anything, and on and on. He's arrogant, pompous, condescending, and a germophobe to boot. He's the epitome of the modern doctor.
It can be a humorous, entertaining show, but he's so unlikable that it wears on you, and the propaganda is irritating, of course, if you're not still in the Medical Matrix, if you know what I mean.
I still watch, but I do bristle at the "Call the Midwife" vaccine infomercials and am more than a little angry with the "New Amsterdam" themes. As to SNL and late night comics, I must admit I loved their lampooning of Trump, but their aggressive stance against the unvaxxed and pro sanctioned talking points has resulted in my tuning in only to see what drivel is being pandered to non-critical minds so I can better counter it.
It is one thing to publicly ridicule a public figure caught in a lie, but when the venom is turned against ordinary friends and family members in the name of entertainment, it's even more dangerous than the rhetoric that sparked violence on January 6th.
NYT -- It's not okay to keep some books out of school libraries because some people think tjey are inapropriate for children. However it is okay to censor political views or covid information that adults read.
Years ago I watched the Black Mirror series on Netflix. Way too prophetic. Even the creator Charlie Brooker can’t write any more episodes stating real world madness has surpassed his formally fictional dark visions.
There is some relief in 80s comedies perhaps. Anything to recall the simpler time.
I read that too and I see what he means, but I would hope there's some way he can apply his art to helping people understand this precise point and what to do about it. Of course, that's not likely to be funded by the BBC or anyone else for that matter. Artists with a conscience need to step up and use their art to deprogram people.
Great point. I think Charlie’s work went a long way to “immunizing” many of us to tech tyranny. I think he inadvertently forecast all kinds of madness that unfolded in the name of health and safety. I for one was bristled at the very first mention of contact tracing, vax passports etc.
The utter tone deafness of contemporary Democrats has been my theme for the week, and I'm glad you touched on it in multiple places. I also read the NYT article about China incredulously. Watched the classist media and governing elite smear the truckers as "white supremacists." (Yep, that old trope. Divide and conquer the working class that you simultaneously despise and pander to.)
But-- partially because I am a parent to young kids, and partially because I was educated among that elite class and understand them well-- the banning books issue hits me the hardest. For them, this isn't about freedom of speech. It is about their absolute conviction that they are morally and intellectually superior to those who hold differing views. That is why we they want control of our children, and that is why they also need to censor and ban the kind of information we might be able to access.
Philosophically speaking, it is a very scary point of view even if you agree with them on all of the issues-- because one day you may not.
Oh, speaking of censorless platforms, the new Twitter substitute Panquake is about to launch. There are no ads, no selling of data, and complete privacy. No opinions left or right will be censored. Please support them. They have made sure it can not be deplatformed.
Carville? The same guy who wrote a book in 2009 titled 40 More Years - where he also claimed: "Since 2004, Americans have been witnessing and participating in the emergence of a Democratic majority that will last not four but forty years.
And NOW he goes on to say: "Only 11 percent of the Democratic Party is progressive. It’s the smallest part of the party. People believe this is what the party represents. “They want to defund the police.” “They want open borders.” “They want to empty the jails.” It’s defining the party."
Unless one of us is living under a rock - that's exactly what the Democratic Party now represents and has fulfilled.
I think the best description that now defines the Democrat Party is delusional - bona fide compulsive pathological liars - that party of Gas Lighting and completely devoid of all reality.
Carville reminds me of Christie Cremes - acting as though his opinion still matters and is relevant.
I loved how Murphy met with him recently to discuss running in 2024. The skinny version of Chris Christie.
The NY TIMES has never properly reviewed RFKjrs “The Real Anthony Fauci”. A bestseller, one of the most important books of my life. In 50 years, they will laud it and the author.
As a kid I remember when Malcolm X died, there was no outpouring of support from any media, liberal or conservative. Most people catch on decades later.
The Boston Globe did a crappy hit piece on him this weekend. The comments were so awful. Really unnerving and depressing to read. I admire him so much. He's done more good in the world than any of the commenters that's for sure! (and i said so in the comments)

To learn something means to get a clearer or more accurate vision of the difference between right and wrong. To learn anything from the trucker's event, let's ask: What is it that many of us have thought of previously, that the trucker's event shows that it may be wrong?
A. That, in the words of the great historian Carroll Quigley, the Western civilisation is "just about finished." That, as someone else said recently, "COVID proves that Western society had already largely destroyed itself, top-down, over many decades."
B. That, in the words of Buckminster Fuller, the way to change something is to "build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete," or put more precisely, Bill Mollison says there is "futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.”
Which makes one think. If the crisis in Ottawa extends, who'll feed the people?
All the quoted views may turn out to be true.
But, my guess is that every opportunity for a good fight and resistance counts, and we should exploit it.
Toby, I laughed out loud at your comments regarding not being able to watch a movie. I so identify with you and this issue of finding casual reading and movie watching boring and terribly unfulfilling! I would much rather be educating myself on all of the COVID lies and writing to help WAKE UP the sheep. Keep up the great work!
This video of Alex Berenson on Tucker Carlson Tonight is amazing and will save lives:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/lrL3wxQwWogZ/
Wow- on MSM
AND THANKS TUCKER
SOMETIMES PEOPLE RIP HIM FOR NOT BEING EXTREME ENOUGH AGAINST VAX
BUT THAT KEPT HIM ON MSM
AND ALLOWS MILLIONS TO SEE THAT

The propaganda is so completely over the top and cartoonish right now.

Watch the old shows on AntennaTV (AntTV), MeTV, or GetTV. It's kinda relaxing.
I watched “Contagion” again a couple of weeks ago. It had more meaning this time.
Wow. Predictive programming?
Very much.
Thanks for the rec, although I haven’t had time to watch anything recreational since I started this blog. Maybe after we defeat tyranny and end democide ;-)
I hope you're right!
Hi Margaret. That show from the 90's I told you about a month or so ago, Babylon 5, is partly about defeating tyranny
[nudge nudge] 😁

Once you see the strings you can't unsee them.

It’s getting increasingly more difficult for me to watch any programming, no pun intended :)
😆
I feel the same way!

Doctors have been like that for as long as I can remember. (I'm not young.)

The Great British Baking Show and old sitcoms like My Favorite Martian - they model kind behavior.
Another outstanding essay. It feels so good to be awake but not woke.
Let's go, Brandeau!

Don't worry about the video. If they take it down, I'll do another one. Probably about time anyway!

This strikes me as the biggest news
https://www.georgiarecord.com/military-med-skyrocketing-disease-data-leaked-biden-regime-knowingly-continues-destruction-of-force/
Is it fake news? I'm guessing not fake.
Says approval of Comirnaty was withdrawn same day...that is news I'd not heard
Otherwise seems corroborated elsewhere...
The “governed by truckers” quote is a lift from one of WF Buckley’s all time greats:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2nf_bu-kBr4
I enthusiastically agree with both quotes!
Ah yes, now I remember the original! Yes, both quotes are on point.
