    @Michael Reid posted yesterday:

    “We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    While meeting a couple friends for coffee yesterday morning, one of them complained that she was tired of her friend’s attempts to explain what she was learning on the internet about the lies around Covid-19 and the vaccines (pretty much what we have been discussing here). Basically, she didn’t trust her sources of information, labeling them “internet-based conspiracy theories” and didn’t really care to investigate. The person sitting next to me agreed with her. My gut feeling said that nothing good would come of me jumping in at this point, so I bit my lip. Both of them knew I was against getting the mRNA shots, appeared to honor my decision, but most likely think my tinfoil hat is on too tight.

    As I drove home, I wondering how this could be: that a highly intelligent, well-travelled, ex bank president, independent, strong-willed woman could suck up the entire mainstream Covid narrative like a Hoover Deluxe? Then I saw Reid’s post of the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quote and it struck me: She hasn’t even peeled the first layer of the truth onion. She doesn’t know that “they are lying”. There is a blind trust of what she sees on TV and reads in the newspaper. This always seems to be the case until one of those lies reaches out and bites you in the ass.

    What makes this incident relevant to the quote above is that the woman, who has been attempting to raise her awareness, grew up in communist Romania. Like Solzhenitsyn, she knew that governments lie to their people… brazenly, to the full extent of “we know they know we know they are lying”. But in the western so-called democracies this awareness is still absent in the general polity, and violently suppressed. Just ask Julian Assange or Edward Snowden. We in the west still live in the Matrix and think it’s real. As long as we are not seriously impacted by the lies of the system, we feel no need to follow any white rabbits or take any red pills.

    The latest mask-related anecdote:

    A few weeks ago, I decided it was time resist the policy which requires only the unvaccinated to mask up in some establishments. And so it happened, I was busted in the local coffee shop for not wearing a mask by an acquaintance who knew that I was unvaccinated. She walked up to me waving her finger asking why I was unmasked. I replied, “Wait a second, I thought you were fully vaccinated, so why are you wearing a mask?”. Without missing a beat, she shot back, “Because of people like you who refuse to get vaccinated, that’s why!”. Sigh.

    It makes no logical sense that after being fully vaccinated, she could still perceive me as a health threat. But such is the key tenet of the new Covid religion: that ALL must be vaccinated or else no one is safe. It’s like a fundamentalist Christian claiming that my unwillingness to join his sect will keep him from being “saved”, whatever that means. Why not just say, “Well, good luck with dying!”, like the other fine chap, and go on your merry way feeling safe, smug, and superior?

    But as CJ Hopkins pointed out in his latest article:

    “They [the facts] do not make the slightest difference to the vast majority of New Normals, anyway. As I’ve noted in several previous columns, these people have surrendered their rationality, and have been subsumed into a totalitarian movement, which has become their perceptual and social “reality,” which their “sanity” now depends upon defending, so the facts mean absolutely nothing to them.”

    @Mr. House

    But Biden got the most votes ever, so logic would state that those same people would be jabbed (don’t call it a vaccine) yet only 47% is fully jabbed. Something doesn’t add up 😉

    Hahaha! Yes sir, that IS a head-scratcher. Just the latest in an innumerable list of inconsistencies that don’t add up.

    I was shocked to find out how much power the Fed had when it stepped in to backstop the dissolution of the EU after 2008. But that was nothing compared to the orchestration in stealing the 2020 election, sloppy and brazen as it was. Followed by walling off the capitol and stationing troops. Sheesh, talk about yer wake-up calls. Can anyone say coup d’é·tat?

    But as George Carlin always said, “Nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.” Sigh.

    Fauci: “Get over it. Just get over this political statement.”

    Said while appearing under a banner reading Republicans Against Public Health

    I’m glad somebody else noticed this. These pricks are leveraging off all the division and hatred created by their anti-Trump campaign by associating vaccine hesitancy with Trump supporters. But as I’ve said before, this whole pandemic psyop took on political overtones within weeks of the outbreak. Now they are just coming right out with it, banners and all. No more inuendo: “Stop making this about politics! That’s our job! Just follow the science, which just so happens to be our job too. In other words, do what we say, or else we’ll sic our heavily indoctrinated door-to-door Maoist hordes no you.”

    I’m a little late getting back to TAE today. As treasurer or our HOA, I had to spend the afternoon writing up our yearly budget report. After years of benefiting from the time and effort of my neighbors, I felt it was high time I made a contribution to the HOA. Not a lot of fun, and being good with spreadsheets and details the job is an easy fit, but I hate meetings with a passion, so skip out on as many as I can.

    @Mister Roboto wrote, “TAE is Ivermectin for mind-viruses! 🙂”

    Amen to that!

    Hahaha! Nice reference to our biological coin-of-the-realm. That was me as a child when forced to focus on anything which didn’t interest me, and so required mental work. Oh, the agony.

    I agree with your analysis, especially the Covid as a belief system part. My friend’s angry response reminded me very much of things I’ve heard from fundamentalist Christians who are heavily invested in the whole heaven/hell game plan. I would occasionally hear replies such as, “Well, if you want to go to hell that’s your business!”. Lots of Christian love in that response, eh?

    “Relaxing Of Covid Restrictions In England Sparks Social Media Meltdown (Clark)”

    “The greatest threat to America is that half the nation is dangerously delusional and neither facts nor failures can shake them from it. (Dr. D)”

    Bumped into someone in the coffee shop parking lot this morning who I hadn’t seen in over a year. When he lowered the car window to speak, his first words were, “Did you get your shots?”. “No”, I replied, “I’m part of the control group.” (Sorry, can’t remember which commenter came up with this gem). That’s when a look of anger filled his face and he blurted out, “Well, good luck with dying!”

    Wow, I thought, this is what happens with you f*ck with people’s minds! Just like when they created TDS with their “Get Trump” operation, turning half the country against friends and family. It’s been truly amazing to watch the psychological damage that’s been inflicted on so many “seemingly” normal people. I fear that when Trump is dead and gone, and the Covid phenomenon has been replaced by a new boogeyman, the damage inflicted by western media mind-viruses on their citizens will still be wreaking havoc.

    “BTW, if the elites want to pursue their transhumanist program, seeking immortality via technology, then let them go for it.”

    Quantity of life is no substitute for quality. Nature has allotted us a certain number of years for a reason. My guess is that once the psyche has hardened like concrete there is very little evolutionary growth that can occur. No new lessons can be learned. We stagnate.

    Talk to almost any NDE survivor, and they will tell you that, once they left their physical vehicle behind and experienced the next plane, and were instructed that they couldn’t stay and had to “go back”, they put up quite a fuss as they were dragged kicking and screaming back into their broken “meat puppet”. Each and every one later says that they no longer fear death. And many eventually leave their lucrative, high-stress, hamster-wheel jobs for less-paying professions that touch individual human lives. Claiming that their NDE was the best thing that ever happened to them.

    So, yeah, good luck with that immortal cyborg body transhumanism stuff.

    I realize that the problem of censorship is just one aspect of the global push toward a one-world authoritarian system of control, and that this whole process may need to be defeated before any progress can be made on the censorship front. My gut tells me not to expect a period of Glasnost before its eventual fall. More likely a fight to the death, à la Nazism.

    “A Case of “Intellectual Capture?” On YouTube’s Demonetization of Bret Weinstein (Taibbi)”

    In a stroke of genius, Taibbi references a scene from the original Star Trek series as a metaphor for Bret Weinstein’s attempts to interact with YouTube on the censorship of his DarkHorse channel. The scene is from “The Changeling” episode, in which the crew encounters an errant space probe of enormous power whose sole mission is the destruction of any species afflicted with imperfection. The probe wanders through the galaxy “sterilizing that which is imperfect”. In what Spock would later call “A dazzling display of logic”, Captain Kirk points out the probe’s own errors, thereby initiating the process in which it destroys itself in order to fulfill its mission.

    Sadly, since YouTube is impervious to logic, truth, or ethics, its destruction will not be so easy. Using its monopoly power, it suppresses all that it labels as “imperfect”, yet suffers no consequences for its own mistakes and errors. The problem of censorship may live on, but the destruction of Google’s monopoly power would send a chilling message to other tech giants. How can this be done? Like Brett Weinstein eventually determined: use another platform that doesn’t censor. Starve the beast. Make it so that people spit on the ground when the name YouTube or Google is mentioned.

    “Censorship Kills (AIER)”

    “The more we learn about the world, and the deeper our learning, the more conscious, clear and well-defined will be our knowledge of what we do not know, our knowledge of our ignorance. The main source of our ignorance lies in the fact that our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must be necessarily infinite.” – Karl Popper

    “Not A Healthy Environment’: Kamala Harris’ Office Rife With Dissent (Pol.)”

    “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s—.”

    How could this be? If you’ve ever won a game or passed an exam by cheating, you would know that there is little joy and pride associated with the victory. On the contrary, it is haunting and poisonous to the psyche, producing all sorts of negative knock-on effects. When you look in the mirror a fraud looks back at you. Self-hatred creeps in making you angry and short-tempered, which gets projected onto those around you creating a toxic environment.

    If that isn’t bad enough, Kamala, though an establishment favorite, was one of the least popular primary candidates. Due to election fraud rather than personal merit, she now finds herself in the veep position without the necessary skills to run the office. Nothing good can come of it.

    Oroboros said: “Fascist Fauci is responsible for at least hundreds of thousands of needless deaths, so far, from intentionally suppressing the use of HCQ and Ivermectin and don’t bother with Vit D and zinc and C.”

    Yes, and Fauci is just the media spokesperson, not unlike Biden, whom powerful people manipulate from behind the scenes like a ventriloquist dummy. Just imagine how many others are aware of this murderous farce, and just go along because it is either profitable or convenient? All equally guilty.

    And they wonder why the aliens only venture out of their UFOs only when several miles from the nearest murderous human. And then only the bravest of the brave, who have chosen to ignore the galactic warning beacon posted outside our solar system:

    From oxymoron: “It’s hard not to speculate about what appears to be a hidden hand.”
    – Dr Robert Malone

    Curiouser and Curiouser!”, cried Alice.

    I remember getting thoroughly spooked with the stories coming out of China a 1 ½ years ago. Especially, the plumes of gas coming from the crematoria that showed up on air quality satellite images. Then I looked at all the international air travel and told the morning coffee group that a pandemic was just a matter of time. They thought I was nuts, though, because the media were burying the story so as not to spook the markets.

    I was following Chris Martenson at the time, getting all wrapped up in his wave theory and case counts. A couple local ladies were making cotton masks, and I would buy up whole bunches and hand them out at the local grocery store before people even started wearing them. Then after a couple of months something shifted. I started noticing glitches in the Matrix that didn’t add up. What started out as a health issue slowly morphed into a political issue with authoritarian overtones. I stopped giving out masks, backed away from my initial assessment, and began to “wait and see.”

    Dr. D’s rants about the lack excess deaths during flu season took a while to sink in. I was willing to keep an open mind, mostly because I respect his take on things. Also, I didn’t want to believe that he has lost the scent and was barking up the wrong tree. That would’ve been hard to stomach.

    So, circling back to the “hidden hand”, I jettisoned my Big Pharma “greed” theory a while ago and really believe that something more sinister is at work. Too many nations following the same script. Too much coercion and hard-selling. Too much censorship. So many lies. The destruction of small business. The misery of lockdowns. The suppression of effective therapies. Repeated attempts to introduce vaccine passport tech.

    Yes, this ceased being a health issue in early 2020, and became something else.

    My thanks to all here who were on the right trail from the get-go.

    Mister Roboto said: “I think Luongo jumps to far too many conclusions via his own manifestly extremist partisan lens for me to take his evaluation seriously.”

    Yes, when I sense that hatred colors an article it’s difficult to take the author seriously. Like listening to someone talk about their ex, while the neck veins are bulging and the face takes on a red hue. Infatuation results in a similar blindness. Hardly objective information will be forthcoming. Then Tom Luongo comes right out with it in this line:

    “My hatred for Stewart is nearly two decades old now.”

    Just to clarify, I’m not a late-nite comedian consumer. The last time was when I was visiting my aging parents and we watched a recorded Jimmy Fallon show after dinner. Many years ago, I noticed how all of the late-nite monologs had turned into establishment propaganda masquerading as comedy. It was all one-sided, political, and agenda driven. And wasn’t funny.

    So, my taking pleasure in Stewarts Wuhan Lab schtick was in no way an endorsement of either he or Colbert. They are both establishment tools, who were allowed to make their fame and fortune by pleasing their masters. In comparison, and who I appreciate now more than ever, George Carlin was the master of using comedic satire to initiate his audiences into the dark side of the status quo of which they were blissfully unaware.

    “They knew what each other’s reaction was going to be. It was agreed ahead of time.”

    I didn’t see that at all. It’s not like Jon was a new guest on the circuit pitching a new book or Disney movie. Watching their interaction, it was clear that Stewart ventured into territory which Colbert knew was off limits with the network execs. That’s why he never laughed and kept trying to kneecap Jon. Like Jimmy Dore said, you never pull that shit on a comedian when he’s got the audience eating out of his hand. All Colbert needed to do was sit back like Johnny Carson used to do and laugh.

    I understand your cynicism, but maybe the pendulum has swung too far and needs to return to center.

    “Why Has “Ivermectin” Become a Dirty Word? (Taibbi)”

    “Taibbi should ask not only “Why Has “Ivermectin” Become a Dirty Word?” but also “When Has “Ivermectin” Become a Dirty Word?”. And then apologize to his readers for completely missing the story for a year, or at least the half year it’s been since Kory’s Senate testimony -which he talks about- was cancelled.”

    Yes, Taibbi is late to the party on this one. Good thing, too, because those that were early took a real beating. Certainly, he knew what was going on with Ivermectin, but chose to ignore it. Lately, however, ivermectin has penetrated the media firewall and made it into the public consciousness. More and more dissidents are writing and talking about it, even Bret Weinstein and Joe Rogan for god sakes, so it should be safe now to come out of hiding. Alas, the damage has already been done.

    Dear Matt, here are a couple of other topics that are now safe to write about: Wuhan lab leaks and UFO’s.

    Like the bloke in the “Roadmap to Recovery” twitter video and the Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver Cole Beasley both implied, what humanity needs now more than anything is courage.

    While speaking with my step-mum last Sunday, she complained again about the amount of pressure she was under to get vaccinated. Doctors insisting, close friends and family accusing her of putting her and my father’s life at risk, eye rolls, neighbors asking, ads saturating the airwaves, and even traffic message signs. It’s a full court press and she’s feeling the heat.

    I told her that this was intentional, that very few have the strength to resist so much social pressure. Like most, she seriously underestimates the power of peer pressure, and how much of what we do it conditioned by it. I said, “If you went shopping tomorrow and every woman you met was wearing black leotards, you would immediately feel uncomfortable and would make a beeline for the nearest clothing store to get a pair.” That’s how important it is for us to “fit in”.

    It reminded me of the Solomon Asch Conformity Experiment in which several people were asked to select which of 3 lines were the same length as the target line. The actual subject undergoing the experiment didn’t realize that all the others in the room were stooges who were all assigned to pick the same wrong answer. By the time the actual subject chose (being last), he felt a great deal of pressure to give the same answer as all the others, even though he thought it was incorrect.

    Humans are herding animals. Very few have the courage or strength to stand alone against the prevailing narrative. Maybe it all goes back to the days when banishment or exile meant certain death. The whole “there is safety in numbers” phenomenon.

    So, all those doctors who are currently turning a blind eye to patients that are coming in with vaccine related injuries, turning them away like they are radioactive, telling them to see a psychologist, etc., are they doing so because of peer pressure? And what about those who send newly diagnosed Covid-positive patients away without treatment, telling them to come back when they can’t breathe and their lips turn blue?

    Peer pressure? I don’t think so. When doctors are threatened with their position and livelihood if they dare attempt to treat a Covid patient with anything other than a Big Pharma product, that sounds more like extortion. There are always those who are oblivious, and drift along with the prevailing medical orthodoxy until someone tells them otherwise, but I believe that the majority willingly submit to the extortion, thereby placing their own welfare above that of their patients. Picking the wrong answer, not because they’re psychologically uncomfortable, but because they’ll be punished if the don’t.

    “The Science”

    Who doesn’t love science? But as many have already pointed out, science is a process and not a person. A scientist is a ‘person’ who uses the ‘process’ of science as a tool of discovery into the workings of the natural world.

    What few seem to realize is that modern scientists are pretty far down the chain of command. They are tools of the establishment, corporation, or institution which employs them. That’s why their office is the size of a broom closet, and they spend their days sequestered in white cinderblock basements with no windows. They must bow and scrape for their next dollar, and rarely have control over the direction of their research. Gone are the days of the independent genius laboring away in his lab driven by a spark of inspiration.

    So, when someone like Fauci says that he is only following the science, he relies on public ignorance to conflate a bureaucratic spokesperson like himself with the exacting scientific method, a process whose sole aim is the discovery of natural laws or truth. Fauci, on the other hand, is a front man like all politicians. He is driven by his own self-interest and the interests of the stakeholders that hired him. He is the furthest thing from science.

    “Jon Stewart on Vaccine Science…”

    I just love the way Jon Stewart took charge of that interview to make his point. Note that Jon is now a free man who can speak his mind, whereas Stephen Colbert is an employee of state media and must tow the line in order to maintain his career. This explains why Colbert kept trying to either negate Stewart’s point or change the subject. He was fully aware that his guest’s position was contrary to the official late-nite comedy script, and his superiors would slap him silly if he in any way appeared to lend credence to Stewart’s claims.

    You don’t get to the top without understanding how the game is played. Colbert knows full well that if he screws up that phones in the head office start ringing, the word goes out, and soon every agent of all the Colbert wannabes will simultaneously jam into the CBS executive reception room like the Three Stooges.

    @Bill7

    One question that is foremost in my mind right now is: do those who are taking Da Covid narrative (and the “vaccine”, of course) at face value really believe it? That is just so hard for me to accept when there’s so much solid, readily available evidence to the contrary, and it’s existed since the very beginning of the “pandemic”.

    I often remind myself how out-of-touch I was for most of my life, and how difficult a process it was to tear down the old worldview and then rebuild it on a firmer foundation. Also, it’s healthier if this process occurs piecemeal, rather than all-at-once, unless one enjoys a good psychosis.

    So, to answer your question, I think they “really believe it”, especially if the status quo has been kind to them, i.e. degrees, success, wealth have been forthcoming. The ego needs an anchor and abhors chaos and insecurity. The response one most often encounters when trying to teach someone a new idea that is contrary to their worldview is instantaneous resistance with emotionality… like a braying donkey. This is experienced as a frontal attack and is rarely effective. Most often, one must be kicked down the rabbit hole via a crisis; one in which it’s clear that the old way of looking at things has failed.

    For example, your teenage son dies 2 days after getting vaccinated with a “safe and effective” vaccine. Or the cops smash down your door in the wee hours, shoot your dog, and drag you off for a brutal interrogation, only to find out later they were on the wrong street.

    Interesting anecdote on the Covid vaccine cult relationship:

    I call my parents every Sunday morning and we talk for over an hour. My dad is in his 90’s with some short-term memory issues, so my step-mum joins in to bring me up to speed on all the goings-on within the extended family. One of her grandchildren did about a 10-year stint in a local cult which created a lot of anxiety and problems for the whole family. About a year ago he popped out the other side, and has since been learning a lot about how cults operate to brainwash and control their victims.

    Anyway, this past week he told her that the Covid vaccine phenomenon had all the earmarks of a cult. That he was seeing in the media a lot of the same techniques that were used on him all those years.

    As for me, I’ve noticed that the Covid/Cult idea is starting to penetrate the mainstream consciousness, as it has been popping up in various places with increasing frequency over the past month. Now, even those like my nephew are feeling the abuse and finding ways to label it.

    “Follow the Science”, they keep telling me. Hahahahaha! That’s a good one.

    That’s the little quip I keep hearing over and over. If they only knew. How does one transfer the essence distilled from years of research into one or two sentences. Good luck with that. Especially, when their mind is like a hardened bunker surrounded by machine gun nests just itching to blow away any threatening idea that dares approach.

    What is it the famous physicist, Max Planck, said, that “Science progresses one funeral at a time”? Why would he say such an unkind thing about his own profession? Possibly because he spent much of his career battling against the scientific orthodoxy of his day. All the high priests of science, who knew before investigating any new idea, whether it was correct or not, by how well it correlated with their prevailing scientific dogma.

    I remember telling someone about how the Tic Tac UAP’s were clocked at hypersonic speeds, yet no sonic boom was ever heard. “That’s impossible!”, they shot back, “The laws of physics would never allow it.” Oh, ok then, game set match. King me. Checkmate. Game over. That’s all folks. Never happened. Couldn’t have. It’s impossible because it’s different, strange, and wont hook onto anything in my little brain.

    This is what Max Planck was up against. This is what all geniuses are up against when trying to help the blind to see and the deaf to hear. Jonathan Swift gave the same idea a different spin:

    “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”

    @ WES

    Other than watching the primaries and general election get fixed, I’ve pretty much lost interest in national politics. I threw in the towel when Obama, newly elected and with political capital up the ying-yang, both here and abroad, rolled over like a jive turkey for Wall Street when he should’ve put many of them behind bars. After that he was “dead to me”, as if he didn’t exist. Never listened to a word he said. It was all empty rhetoric for the adoring media and their captive masses.

    Trump was an interesting glitch in the Matrix. The elites underestimated how sick the electorate was with the national death spiral. They fully expected Hillary to pick up where Obama left off, making good on all those down payments to the Clinton Foundation. Their global plans were frustrated for four years while Trump fixated on the Dow and blathered for the cameras. Consequently, as we so recently learned, and thanks to the mathematical magic of networked electronic voting machines and a captive media, a non-establishment candidate will never occupy the Oval Office again.

    The NW has been uncharacteristically dry this Spring. The good weather has allowed me to get a jump on many landscaping tasks needed to improve our aging condo development: like pruning or removing overgrown shrubs, pulling weeds, spreading rock and mulch, locating buried or broken sprinkler heads, etc. It seems the landscape company contracted to maintain this stuff lost most of its employees during the lockdown and has found it difficult to hire replacements. I’ve found that this work has helped me to counteract a lot of the negativity and division, by beautifying the local environment and building community.

    I’ve still made time to read the TAE each day, however, paying particular attention to the latest Germ Covid finds, and anything Dr. D. sees coming into focus on the horizon with his Hubble-like vision. With credit due all around, Ilargi’s blog has really been a powerhouse of ideas this past year.

    This next point is why I determined to post something this morning. I’ve been contemplating the insanity permeating current events. I was blessed (maybe cursed) with one of those minds that constantly tries to make sense of things. To find meaning. Understand how things work. This has been a real challenge lately, as nothing seems to make any sense. I’ve tried to pin this on stupidity and ineptitude, but those wouldn’t stick. Something else was at work. Maybe it was greed, as this certainly has more evidence behind it for being the primary cause. But in my mind, greed is now being relegated to a secondary position. “What is the prime mover in all this?”, is the thought that kept coming to the fore.

    Maybe I’m the last one to the party (no surprise there), but the idea that has presented itself to me the past couple of days is that the planet’s movers & shakers have been busy for the last decade or so, putting their Manchurian candidates in all the key positions of power in the US centralized empire. The pandemic, whether intentional or not, is currently being used to initiate their grand plan. From where we sit, their response to the pandemic has been a catastrophic failure health-wise and economically, yet TPTB continue stubbornly down the lockdown/vaccine/passport path.

    It’s become increasing clear that this whole operation is being coordinated from a supra-national level. Strings are being pulled from the very top of the pyramid that reach down into every institution and corporation that wields power and influence. It’s had the effect of creating a lot of cognitive dissonance at lower levels, making the average person feel like he’s taking crazy pills. Everyone is chasing their tails trying to make sense of it all. This is how I make sense of it today. Their eventual goal and whether they’ll succeed is not yet clear. What my gut has been saying for the past few years, though, IS clear: “Resist!”

    When the ‘senior care home’ owner brushed off my comment about reporting the four deaths in the VAERS database I was given the impression that this was never done. I believe he runs two homes, one with men and the other with women. Assuming he has six clients per home, four vaccine-related deaths would equal 33% of his clients.

    Interesting vaccine data point… Just returned from meeting with a few of the pre-Covid morning coffee group. One runs a small senior care home in the neighborhood. When I asked him how his business had fared during the pandemic, wondering if Covid had taken out any of his clientele, he said “No, but the vaccines took out four of them, all dying within a week of getting the first dose of the vaccine.” When I told him to make sure it gets into the VAERS database, he just smiled and said, “Nobody cares.” The Vaccine Queen immediately jumped in at this point to cut off the conversation and defend the vaccine rollout.

    “Pentagon’s UFO PsyOps Fuel Russia, China War Risk (SC)”

    I read the article, V, and I certainly understand the author’s skepticism, but I think he’s on the wrong track with his Russia/China connection. It’s also clear that the author has never researched the subject, so is just shooting from the hip based on his analysis of current events. I would have done the same a few years ago if it weren’t for the 2004 Nimitz Encounter that was made public by the NYT on Dec 2017.

    As with any subject, what one thinks he knows is mostly false until he goes down the rabbit hole and deeply explores it, looking at all the available evidence, patterns, motivations, and relationships. As of this writing, I’m confident in the existence of UFO’s and alien interest in our planet, more particularly our development of nuclear weapons. For the curious few who want to know more, a good place to start is Robert Hastings book ‘UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites’ and its associated documentary.

    So, why is the military tipping its hand at this time by allowing this material to see the light of day? Information that since the 40’s was considered so secret that it was classified higher than the H-bomb? And more recently tasked to private military contractors in order to sidestep FOIA requests? My personal opinion is that it is just one more lever that will be used to justify their dream of a one-world government.

    A subtle hint was planted in the 2016 film Arrival, whose core theme highlighted the need for all world governments to join hands in order to solve the problem of alien contact. As the various world leaders fought amongst themselves and struggled to make sense of the alien’s purpose, the lead intelligence officer, Agent Halpern, said this:

    Yep, we’re a world with no single leader, it’s impossible to deal with just one of us.

    Greetings from Helion Prime. I understood the reference in your first post immediately, since I’ve watched the Riddick films many times. They were expertly done and powerful, but I’ve grown sensitive to their violence as I’ve aged. In fact, I’ve grown weary of the violence saturated American culture as a whole, and look forward to the dawning of a new day in which all of the false idols that are currently held up as ideals are swept away.

    Anyway, keep an eye out for mercs and never forget what the Necromongers did to Furya.

    I believe I watched about half of the Tucker Carlson / Dr Peter McCullough interview before something called me away or I just gave up. What struck me was how Dr Mc pretty much danced around the ideas of criminality and WEF conspiracy in order to not sound like a crazy wackadoodle. I believe he knows much more, but refused to elaborate. He kept hinting at them, but always acted like there was this puzzling big open question as to why Covid is being handled as it is. “Something is up”, he kept saying.

    I understand that as a professional, he can’t go shooting his 44 magnum all over the place and expect to be taken seriously. And his soft-peddling does serve a purpose by introducing the audience to difficult ideas gently, but for those of us who already have a clue that this is all being orchestrated by the WEF globalists it’s a bit frustrating to watch. He made me want to yell, “Stop beating around the bush, and just NAME IT!!”

    Henna Maria’s “The Harsh Truth” was so on target it sent shivers down my spine. She’s either an old soul or has already been through hell in order to reach this level of understanding at such a young age. I can’t imagine what it must be like to associate with people of her caliber. There would be no psychological hole deep and dark enough in which she wouldn’t find you, and drag you kicking and screaming back into the scorching rays of reality.

    Maria is correct in that inner work is required to remove our blind spots, but I would take her first point a bit further. That once we have removed the mountain of shit from off our own inner truth detector, so that it functions freely and is once again visible to our inner gaze, the next phase of the work requires that we ferret out every lie and violation from our own life in order to fine tune the instrument. Then you will be amazed on what you can now see.

    “Sorry, tried to post a gif of Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, but I can’t get it to work.”

    Funny, this very image crossed my mind the other day while thinking about all the finger-wagging tyrant wannabes that have been empowered by all of the authoritarian pandemic policies. These policies have created a new race of pod people.

    Pod Shriek

    You really need to follow the Joe Biden / Clarence Thomas link that Ilargi posted above. It shows Senator Biden for the preening grandstander he has always been. Watch him smirk while he blathers nonsense and sophistry to his captive audience.

    It makes you wonder how he became the most popular president in history, garnering ten million more votes than even Obama. So popular that he didn’t even have to campaign. He really should write a book outlining this powerful new campaign strategy he has discovered, so that other world leaders can profit from his political genius.

    “Civil War Is Brewing In France And You Know It: French Military To Macron (RT)”

    I said it years ago and will say it again today, Macron was installed in power, not by the French but by the globalists, in order to destroy French nationalism. The same applies to Angela Merkel and Germany. How else can you explain leaders that open their borders for the mass immigration of highly unassimilable foreigners in what amounts to a reverse Crusades?

    Ask yourself, what good could possibly come from this? Why are leaders forcing policies on their people which are 180 degrees opposite of what are demanded? Where Yellow-Vests are shot in the face for their protest?

    If your goal was a one world government, however, then this would be a necessary step. Those nations with strong national identities and cultures would need to be weakened considerably so as to more easily be subjected to a common centralized power structure.

    This would also explain all of the hysteria around Trump, and why the opposition was unwilling to wait him out. He was a lightning rod for American nationalism don’t you see. He was never part of the plan and had to be removed, even if it meant marshalling every resource at their disposal in order to censor opposition and elevate an unpopular, senile political hack to the presidency by election fraud.

    Saagar Enjeti: New Details REVEAL Fauci, Media Coverup Of Lab Leak Hypothesis

    Uh oh, even The Hill is catching the scent of Saint Fauci’s blood in the water. And stories about Ivermectin are cropping up like dandelions all over the internet. Is it just me or are the wheels beginning to fall off their plandemic?

    Per Mr. House link…

    Alarm as German anti-maskers co-opt Nazi resister Sophie Scholl

    Awesome strategy! The German media is going to have a helluva time trying to perception manage the anti-lockdown protesters now. The more the government tries to crack down on them, the more powerful their Sophie Scholl symbolism becomes.

    Or, if you want a more peaceful metaphor, it [the internet] was the promise of open pasture extended to people who had previously been treated like cattle, penned up in factory barns and fed slop from a trough.

    I stumbled upon a private meet-up yesterday of a few members of my pre-covid coffee crew. Before I could even sit down at another table to eat my lunch, one of them started in on me about getting vaccinated. “Did you get vaccinated against polio when you were a kid?”, she asked. I could see that this question was not your typical inquiry, but a clever trick intended to back me into a corner logically, just like on Perry Mason.

    You see, everyone at that table had already received their Covid shots, so I would’ve been putting them all at risk if I had been invited too. Behold the product of western journalism! It’s impossible to have a discussion with people who are fully sated with their latest meal from the CNN slop trough.
