Thanks for sharing, Germ, and my condolences for the loss of your father. Mine will be 93 this month, and I know that fateful day will be arriving soon for me as well, unless my own ticket gets punched first.
I call him every Sunday morning and we talk and laugh for over an hour, much of this laughter due to the three-ring circus that is western civilization. It’s hard for me to believe that he’s been able to resist the global pandemic psyop, despite all the pressure that has been applied by doctors, close friends, and family. He’s still unvaxxed, and has a supply of off-patent drugs if the need arises.
We’ve had some frank conversations over the past year, especially during those times when the pressure from his circle was the most intense and they straddled the fence. I confessed then that my thinking could be wrong, and that it’s important for each person to do their own homework and come to their own decision on what was best for them. That if he decided he wanted to get the jab, because he was in the high-risk group, it was OK with me, and wouldn’t make any difference on how I felt about him. Those doubtful times ended months ago, and since then he has been firmly in the no-covid-vax-for-me camp.
Because of his advanced age, their calendar is always peppered with medical appointments for this, that, and the other. What I found interesting is that early on, he received a lot of pressure by doctors and other specialists to get the jab. A few months back this started to change. Now, they quietly tell him that he’s better off not getting jabbed. However, close friends that still rely on TV media for the pandemic gospel message still beat the vax drum relentlessly. The same story we all know so well.
My best to Ilargi and all the fantastic TAE commentariat for the New Year!
“This short story reminds me of the torture my high school English literature teachers subjected me too!”
You and me, both. English was my worst subject, and I was almost failed because I refused to do a term paper my senior year of HS. And in middle school, reading comprehension tests would send me into a cold sweat. Did a book report on Robert Frost in 8th grade, and didn’t have a clue what his poetry meant. I wasn’t born with the gift, neither was any form of self-expression welcomed in our family. In fact, it was outright discouraged. Only later in life did I make the effort to overcome this gaping developmental disability.
An excellent essay by Dr. D on how bureaucratic helping, being both isolated and insulated from the societal problems they attempt to solve, only make matters worse with their materialistic interventions. Why? Because they fail to address the underlying needs of the illness – needs that can only be met on a person-to-person level.
The door opened. A singular and violent group made its appearance on the threshold. Three men were holding a fourth man by the collar. The three men were gendarmes; the other was Jean Valjean.
A brigadier of gendarmes, who seemed to be in command of the group, was standing near the door. He entered and advanced to the Bishop, making a military salute.
“Monseigneur–” said he.
At this word, Jean Valjean, who was dejected and seemed overwhelmed, raised his head with an air of stupefaction.
“Monseigneur!” he murmured. “So he is not the cure?”
“Silence!” said the gendarme. “He is Monseigneur the Bishop.”
In the meantime, Monseigneur Bienvenu had advanced as quickly as his great age permitted.
“Ah! here you are!” he exclaimed, looking at Jean Valjean. “I am glad to see you. Well, but how is this? I gave you the candlesticks too, which are of silver like the rest, and for which you can certainly get two hundred francs. Why did you not carry them away with your forks and spoons?”
Jean Valjean opened his eyes wide, and stared at the venerable Bishop with an expression which no human tongue can render any account of.
“Monseigneur,” said the brigadier of gendarmes, “so what this man said is true, then? We came across him. He was walking like a man who is running away. We stopped him to look into the matter. He had this silver–”
“And he told you,” interposed the Bishop with a smile, “that it had been given to him by a kind old fellow of a priest with whom he had passed the night? I see how the matter stands. And you have brought him back here? It is a mistake.”
“In that case,” replied the brigadier, “we can let him go?”
“Certainly,” replied the Bishop.
The gendarmes released Jean Valjean, who recoiled.
“Is it true that I am to be released?” he said, in an almost inarticulate voice, and as though he were talking in his sleep.
“Yes, thou art released; dost thou not understand?” said one of the gendarmes.
“My friend,” resumed the Bishop, “before you go, here are your candlesticks. Take them.”
He stepped to the chimney-piece, took the two silver candlesticks, and brought them to Jean Valjean. The two women looked on without uttering a word, without a gesture, without a look which could disconcert the Bishop.
Jean Valjean was trembling in every limb. He took the two candlesticks mechanically, and with a bewildered air.
“Now,” said the Bishop, “go in peace. By the way, when you return, my friend, it is not necessary to pass through the garden. You can always enter and depart through the street door. It is never fastened with anything but a latch, either by day or by night.”
Only a fool (or bureaucrat) would believe that silver candlesticks were responsible for saving Jean Valjean.
“and this will turn on Fauci in such a way that he is likely to get a disease or syndrome named after him.”
Posthumously, one would hope, after someone cuts him down from the lamppost after a few weeks of public exhibition.
Kunstler’s second ‘view’ is the correct one. The only view which makes sense based on the evidence: the gain-of-function research, all the WEF trained Manchurian candidates, and the global coordination outlined in Event 201.
Of course, Fauci has had to think on his feet and improvise, because his bioweapon was a dud, as well as the vaccines. Thank the gods! The end goal has always been the Great Reset agenda, which requires total control of the unwashed masses via comprehensive surveillance, digital currency, and a social credit system to punish non-compliance. The pandemic was the necessary catalyst to get the global population in a state of crisis, so that the Great Reset dominoes could start falling.
“The Value Of The Vaccine Is In Getting People To Take The Vaccine (CTH)”
There, I fixed Bret Hamachek’s thesis for him.
“Durham Zeroes In On Clinton Campaign, Could Call Some Aides To Testify (JTN)”
“Zeroes In” sound a bit like “The Walls Are Closing In”. In the immortal words of SNL’s Matt Foley:
From yesterday…
“That Shankara Chetty interview with R. Fuellmich was soooooooo good!
It opened so many windows in my dusty brain.”Ditto, MPSK. It took me all day to watch it due to a hundred interruptions, but I found it one the best I’ve seen. Doc Chetty sorta reminded me of Sgt Joe Friday from the old Dragnet series “Just the facts, ma’am, just the facts”. Well worth my time and persistence.
Afterward, I made some additional notes on my printout of the FLCCC early treatment protocol concerning the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids if phase II (allergic reaction) kicks in on Day 8.
Lots of food for thought in today’s TAE. I’m talkin’ steak, potatoes, and veggies, complemented with a glass of your favorite red.
Congratulations on another great year, Raul. TAE attracts some of the best contributors around! You should be proud of what you’ve created here.
I’m still laughing at VP’s “2+2=5” cartoon posted yesterday. There’s nothing like humor to point out the insanity. The memes are really exploding now that people are catching on. It’s good to see and gives me hope.
Just did some shopping over lunch and went through a couple of grocery stores barefaced. Surprisingly, nobody called me a terrorist or asked me to put a mask on. It also felt good to see a couple others in each store without masks. I often see neighbors both walking and driving with masks on.
My subconscious is still a little spooked. Dreamt that my little band of rebels were going to be attacked in the morning by the Germans who had already taken over the town. All we had to defend ourselves were a few puny sidearms with limited ammo. I wanted to scrounge up some heavier weaponry in the countryside, but didn’t want to take the chance that the attack would occur while I was away, so stayed put and braced myself for the carnage ahead.
“Fortunately, here in good-old USA, we have the example, lessons learned and wisdom of a little guerrilla revolution from a few centuries ago that threw off another form of Global Tyranny driven by the madness of King George. There are many parallels. And much to be remembered and re-learned from the revolutionary citizen-politician leaders of those days. And we also have the truth as our armor and shield.” …
… “Don’t forget. Integrity, Dignity, Community. These are what we are missing, the absence of which is making us socially sick, and these are what we need to rebuild. And the children are what we are fighting for. Their tomorrows are job one.”
Wow! A scientist who actually has a grasp of history, philosophy, and ethics, with a horse farm to boot – being grounded in the abstract as well as the concrete. You couldn’t ask for better leadership in this battle.
Dr. Robert Malone is a rare individual: one who doesn’t fit the typical modern scientist mold of coke-bottle-spectacled, over-educated, mentally-lopsided, narrowly-focused, corporate/academic minions, who are easily pushed around by the stupid men who rule over them. God bless him!
“I don’t feel fear, but I do feel a constant feeling of foreboding anxiety.”
Had lunch with a friend yesterday and after a while apologized for being a bit disengaged. Told her about a dream I had earlier in the week in which the moon fell out of the night sky and crashed into the far side of the earth. Instantly, pandemonium broke loose as everyone made a dash for high ground in anticipation of the tsunami and other geologic disruptions (Moonfall, Bad Moon
RisingFalling). However, all my attempts to flee to high ground only found me back at the seashore again, in the direct path of destruction.She offered an interpretation, but nothing clicked. “No”, I said, “there are a lot of dark things happening in the world right now, and I think it has me a little spooked”. She immediately shot back, “I can’t even go there, it’s too depressing”, essentially saying that she has enough on her plate already to deal with, and it would be self-destructive to dwell on things out of her control. I think this position is where we can find the majority in our own social circles.
So yeah, if, like me, you are also feeling a bit insecure, there are valid reasons enough today. But give yourself a pat on the back for having the courage and fortitude to be here at TAE each day. In essence, looking deeply into the abyss of current events, without faltering or assuming the fetal position under your desk.
Haven’t read today’s TAE yet, but wanted to post a couple thoughts before I get wrapped up in the day’s events and forget:
I’ve learned that it pays to go back to the previous day’s TAE to review comments that may have dribbled in late. This morning I found a fantastic TAE Summary that made me howl out loud.
@Veracious Poet,
My heart goes out to you at this time. I’m confident, based on your contributions, that you have the resilience needed to weather this storm, just as you’ve done others. It is depressing to take the red pill, as @Boogaloo noted, and get lost in the darkness. Been there, done that, and I’m guessing most here could same the same.
I’ve often thought that what holds most people back from an expanded awareness is their inability to tolerate truth. IOW, how much truth can one stand, especially in this world, where there is so much darkness and suffering. This limit will throttle most from looking any deeper into the darkness, because it’s too painful, or for the vast majority, makes them uncomfortable. “I’d much rather be happy”, they say, “and enjoy this juicy piece of Matrix created meat.”
I was born with a very strong feeling function, maybe you were too. It was hell. I remember envying Mr. Spock from Star Trek, because he wasn’t plagued by his emotions. What eventually helped to balance the scales, was acquiring a firm confidence in the purpose of life, finally realizing the Universe is my friend and not my enemy, and the eventual ignition of an inner flame of love and compassion for others.
This allows one to straddle the two realities, “Being in the world, but not of it”, as one person put it. Living in your world, but also being able to meet others in theirs.
Wow! Those two clips from Wings of Desire cracked me open like a walnut and really made my day. Thanks. This forum is really a treasure.
Just saw the final posts to yesterday’s TAE…
Glad you liked the chart. I created it in PowerPoint, then snipped an image using the Windows Snip&Sketch tool. The image was then uploaded to Postimage.org and the URL grabbed for posting. I tried to keep it simple, but with a little thought there is much that could be added or improved.
Anyone wishing to have the original file to play with or expand on is welcome to it. Just post an email address here and I’ll send to you.
“Your flow chart is too linear and logical with a beginning and an exit
It needs to be more circular and illogical with no exit! Lol!”I hear ya, WES, but illogic is what most people are currently experiencing, having no bearings other than last night’s TV news broadcast. My goal was to put things in context and show from higher vantage point that there is a method to all this madness.
I put this together yesterday and decided to just go ahead and post it in the comment section for your entertainment:
Nice twist on sterilization. I had to read it twice to make sure I got the joke correctly the first time. 😊
~~~
Jim Kunstler has a great essay this morning, weaving the ‘Mass Formation’ theory of Belgian professor Mattias Desmet into both the Trump presidency and the Covid pandemic. I was greatly impressed by this theory when it was first linked here by one of our commenters, probably germ. Since then, I’ve seen his theory receive a tremendous amount of exposure and amplification in alt-media, which it richly deserves.
No worries. I’m sorry if you felt singled out. The hubris from our technocracy has been red-lining lately, and I seized upon your Carl Sagan quote as an excuse to pounce. I actually liked the guy, and I’m sure he did a lot of good. On the flip side, as one of the high priests of science, I wonder how many promising ideas he crushed along the way, and how many careers he held back with a “thumbs down” from his high perch?
I guess what really got me going were all the articles I’ve seen lately on the wonders of transhumanism, space colonies, thought reading AI, downloading consciousness into an android body in order to extend one’s lifespan, and other baloney. Talk about getting too far over one’s skis. It’s as if they received a spark off Franklin’s kite key, and now they’re suddenly Dr Frankenstein reanimating the stitched members of dead corpses.
It’s as silly as it sounds. They have no idea how life works or where consciousness originates. They think that by describing what they see under their microscopes they understand. Not only do they believe they understand, but they can improve it too. And now that they’ve got it all figured out, being on the very threshold of godhood, it’s time to take charge of the entire global population and show them how happy life will be after an all-expense paid ride through their transhumanism meat-grinder.
“Even these stars, which seem so numerous, are, as sand, as dust, or less than dust, in the enormity of the space in which there is nothing. Nothing!” – Carl Sagan
Wrong! Spoken like a true physicalist. Sagan had a knack for making nonsense like the Big Bang sound profound. If space is empty, as he claimed, how could light propagate across its vastness without a wave medium? If oceanic waves require water (H2O), what do electromagnetic waves require?
And what about all the elements in our periodic table, some of which were used to form the lunar lander. What keeps each individual aluminum atom functioning, like miniature perpetual motion machines in the so-called vacuum of space? Does each contain a subatomic battery that never runs down, year after year, eon after eon? Or is each powered by a continuous flow of primordial atoms that circulates from the highest to the lowest dimension and back again, penetrating and powering all physical matter?
No, that can’t be it, otherwise our super-schmart scientists would’ve discovered it already. Science certainly has its place, and I’m grateful for it, but it also has its limits. Rather than admit these limits, scientists continually promote crackpot theories as truth to explain all they cannot see, measure, or fathom.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
With due respect to those who have already fallen victim to the vaccine rollout, I can’t imagine a better stroke of good fortune than having the actual vaccines be the weakest link in the Great Reset plan of a global digital ID system. That, and the fact that Fauci’s Wuhan bioweapon turned out to be a dud.
Just think of where we’d be if either the bioweapon was more dangerous or pharma’s jabs actually worked? There would’ve been little time and even less justification to mount an effective resistance to their Great Reset blitzkrieg. Before we knew what was happening, we would’ve been run over by the WEF steamroller. Instead, we’ve been handed a gift, an opening in which to gather our forces and mount a defense.
Sure, like you, I would much rather be doing something else with my precious time, instead of going over battle plans every day and flying through thick layers of propaganda flak. But this is our time. This is our great battle. Wishing it were not so will not make it go away.
Behold the equivalent of the digital ID system:
“Wow. Robert Malone used the phrase ‘intentional communities.””
It’s my opinion that Dr. Malone has had quite the crash course over the past 2 years, rubbing shoulders with many important figures around the world who have educated him on how the Matrix operates. He states that it all began when asked by RFK Jr (Morpheus) to review his new book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health (the red pill), in effect triggering a depression.
I try to watch any of his interviews that become available, as it appears that he is becoming a central credible figure in the opposition to Big Pharma’s vaxximania, not to mention the current thrust toward global totalitarianism.
Correction:
The link to the Mass Formation discussion came from today’s Howard Kunstler’s article, not a recent post on TAE.
The date of the cartoon was Feb 13th not 14th.
While watching the Professor Mattias Desmet video on Mass Formation posted above, he mentioned the French Dreyfus Affair at about the 53:19 mark when making a point. Being curious, I looked it up to do some more reading and came across this old cartoon from the Le Figaro Monday 14 February 1898.
I hope that this image will post, as it represents the scene at many a Thanksgiving dinner this year due to the Covid psyop. Even the poor dog was not immune to the fracas that ensued when the divisive topic was broached:
“… if this signal is strong and if it’s correct then history will not be on their side, and the public will not forgive them for it.”
Dr. Aseem Malhotra did a great job of tiptoeing around this explosive subject and I applaud his courage for speaking up. He mentions that a poor lifestyle due to the lockdowns may be a contributing factor in the recent scourge of heart attacks, but this can’t explain all the footballers collapsing on field in their prime. Notice how the telltale smile starts when Dr. Malhotra begins his comments on the possibility of lifestyle being the cause. He knows that this alternate hypothesis is just column fodder that needed to be added in order to soften the blow of his original claim.
We all know what the problem is, but few are willing step forward to take the full wrath of Big Pharma. And in all likelihood, when the tide finally turns, and the general public begins to awaken from their media-induced psychosis, there will be hell to pay. The globalists will then have to return to the drawing board so as to craft a new plan to institute their digital ID system. Alas, more delays to global domination, and with the more wary public no less.
“Former WHO Director Warns Making Vaccines Mandatory Could Cause Riots (SN)”
Isn’t it interesting how vocal one can be once out of office, being relieved of “official capacity”? Yet, those in office are completely muzzled, having to toe the line on messaging (aka lying).

HOST: “we’re going to start with hors d’oeuvres in the garage. You know, we’ll have drinks, we’ll do our rapid tests, and then come on in.”
GUEST: “F*ck this sh*t, honey, I’m going home.”
WES:
I have no idea where this talent comes from, and how one culture could excel to such a high degree in its expression. Even now, Germany is pretty much the EU. They set the direction and policy. They are the heavyweight in the room.
I grew up in the Detroit region, where many Germans fled after the war to work for the auto companies, where there seemed to be a machine shop on every block. Sadly, cars never did much for me. I saw them merely as a means to get from point A to B. Both my brother and I were attracted to electronics right out of the gate, and we both ended up moving west to build our careers in microelectronics. I chose electronics out of necessity; he chose it out of love. While I was out fishing with my buddies at the lake, he would be in the basement trying to get an army surplus radar system working.
My real love was philosophy, although a natural idiot in that area. I wanted to know how life worked. I was drawn to the eastern wisdom traditions, and remember being mesmerized by shows like the original Kung Fu with David Carradine. I retired much too early from my career in order to focus primarily in this area of study. I liked the challenge of microelectronics, worked with good people, but found it sterile and meaningless. I have less money, but would not change of thing, and often feel overwhelmed with the riches I’ve been able to acquire on this path less taken.
Yes, a great photo of VP and his mate. A long and happy life to you both.
@Polder Dweller
As to you your five German colleagues drinking the Covid Kool-Aid… I’m reminded of the old joke: “You can always tell a German, but you can’t tell him much.”
Being half-German myself, it gave me the innate skills to be a good engineer. My brother and I (both engineers) were always taking our toys apart to figure out how they worked. On the flip side, it also gave me many weaknesses and blind spots, one of which was a tendency for black/white thinking, allowing any pesky doubts to easily be chased away with a huff of certainty. Having a mother who was raised in Nazi Germany probably didn’t help. We kids would sometimes tease her by goose-step around the house when she blasted her German music on the Hi-Fi. There were only two ways of looking at things: her way and the wrong way.
Still, a call like you describe would leave me a bit shaken, and cause me to reexamine the facts once again. Which brings me to Herr Fauci, the king of the gas-lighters. Isn’t he a wonder to behold? I guess that’s why he’s paid so much. Like Tom Selleck selling reverse-mortgages on TV, with a mustache like that they just gotta be legit.
I came across this gem yesterday and felt it might be helpful to some in the TAE community who are struggling to adapt to recent changes in their level of awareness:
Climbing The Ladder of Awareness
And being the non-compliant (stubborn) type, unwilling to be classified or forced into a box, I seem to have gone down both the “outer path” and “inner path” to cope with my own newly acquired awareness, although the inner path has always been my default, or innate preference.
Keep in mind that this “Ladder of Awareness” is a crude representation of a process that is extremely complex – the evolution of consciousness. Using myself an example, I’m certain that in most areas I am still “Dead asleep” (Stage 1), whereas in some others I am approaching a system-level (Stage 5) awareness.
No worries. These are difficult times, and it’s not easy keeping our frustration in check… said the guy who smashed at least two malfunctioning telephone answering machines into the pavement.
From Fabio Vighi’s THE CENTRAL BANKERS’ LONG COVID: AN INCURABLE CONDITION linked by @laffin_boy in comment #93240 :
“Italian writer Ennio Flaiano once said that the fascist movement is made of two groups: the fascists, and the anti-fascists. Today, when most self-proclaimed anti-fascists are quietly or enthusiastically supporting the medically driven authoritarian turn, this paradox is more relevant than ever.”
What’s another name for “anti-fascists” that unknowingly support a fascist movement?
Useful idiots – those easily swayed by govt propaganda to act against their own self-interest. Which currently happens to be many of our family, friends, and neighbors.
I thought this recent talk by Catherine Austin Fitts contained a lot of “good medicine” for navigating our current dilemma.
“Now Germany Is Set Make Covid Vaccinations Compulsory (DM)”
And woe to any citizen who even thinks about hiding an unvaxxed Jew in their attic.
without institutionalized FEAR the masses may become enlightened, turn, & burn THEIR charade into ash.
Nice recovery, VP! Good to have you back in the pink (or is it red). In the game of life, I’ve discovered that a fighting spirit trumps despair every time.
“I have never worked with people [w/Fauci, Birx, & Redfield] at this level in my career, and I’m not saying at a high level, I’m saying at a low level … I’m not sure these people could have been assistant professors where I worked.”
How can this be explained, that people of such inferior quality are holding such high positions in these Health institutions?
Answer: The institution is captured. The leadership of that institution has been put in place, and is currently maintained, to serve the needs of interests other than said institution. This problem now exists wherever you look, BTW, even with heads of state.
~~~
Gary, I second the supportive comments written by others. In them you will find many years of hard-won wisdom.
Here is mine: In my late thirties, after a painful back surgery and divorce, I learned that carrying the weight of the world on my puny shoulders was self-destructive, and a fool’s errand. The burden of responsibility for things outside my control was further lightened when I learned that there existed above me a hierarchy of highly advanced beings, one of whom stooped so low as to explain to me the current circumstances of my own little life, forever changing it like Morpheus’ red pill. He never told me what to do, but only explained where I was at that time.
Lest you think it was only kind words from some old sage, this particular communication was given with a power, clarity, and force that went directly to the inner core, bypassing all the ordinary physical senses we normally rely on. I learned then that the Universe rests on stronger shoulders than my own, and that nothing escapes their penetrating gaze.
A USA Today poll shows that Biden’s approval has sunk to 38%. The trend line here is truly devastating. We can speculate why. Inflation plays a role. But also the vaccine mandate seems to have hit the Biden approval rating very hard.
Like Hillary, Biden’s so-called popularity was always a media created façade, which only needed the honest breezes of reality to topple. Even now, the only thing keeping the masses from demanding his removal is the non-stop cheer-leading and protection of corporate media.
He has always been a lying, pompous, plagiarizing, preening, corrupt, hair-sniffing, perverse, political hack, eager to abuse his power by fingering young interns in the hallway and then threatening them with destruction when they resist his brutish attempts – the kind of politician that predatory credit card companies slobber over.
Like Hillary, nobody came to his rallies except media flunkies who were unlucky enough to draw the short straw. He is not a leader. He has no vision. And with the onset of dementia, he can barely function in the office that the global shadow govt gave him.
Don’t be fooled, his presidency is no different than Weekend at Bernie’s. If it were not for the corporate media propping up his every failure, he would immediately fold like a cheap card table.
“Interim data from ongoing trials [of Paxlovid] demonstrated an 89% reduction in the risk of Covid-19-related hospitalisation or death compared to a placebo, in non-hospitalised high-risk adults with Covid-19 within three days of symptom onset, said Pfizer.”
89%… ok, ok, sounds good, “said Pfizer”, SCREEECH! Auto-erase!
Sorry, I don’t pay any attention to people who continually tell lies. I may be a slow learner, but eventually I do catch on. It’s the same reason I don’t follow media news sources anymore. Even college textbooks today are mostly bullshit, having been captured by corporate interests. The more rabbit holes you explore, the more corruption and lies, lies, lies you find. So much falsehood, so much corruption, so little love. What will it take before people say, “Enough!”?
Answer: More pain and suffering.
Problem is, by the time a Bastille moment is finally reached, a goodly amount of anger and frustration has accumulated, looking for a target to unleash it upon. That’s when you see what a real purge looks like. Where no bunker is so deep or no island so remote that retribution’s hand can’t find it.
@MPSK,
Thanks for The Slog “Civil War” link. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For a “housewife”, whose “work-day is a tissue of trivial, repetitive tasks of the sort given to POWs to break their morale”, she is amazingly well informed and writes in a clever and humorous style, comparable to a female Matt Taibbi.
“It was often said that Trump was the most divisive president ever, but then we got Biden, whose divisions are dangerous and often permanent.”
MPSK, I believe that most Trump haters conflated the media narrative with the man. Sure, Trump said many provocative things when given the podium, but many Americans found this refreshing, because he was giving voice to their day-to-day concerns, concerns which the media ignored for decades.
Personally, I couldn’t stand to listen to him for more than 30 seconds, just as I would run from any bore at a party who insisted on fluffing his ego at my expense. Yet, watching from a distance at all the media gyrations, it was evident that their assigned mission was to destroy Trump by any means possible: lies, half-truths, slanders, misquotes, etc. Essentially, whipping their audience into a witch-burning frenzy each and every news cycle.
It became clear early on that the divisiveness was being created and fed primarily by the media. I blame them for most of the hatred, division, and hysteria that we currently see around us. Watching many friends and family become brainwashed by the media psyops the past few years has been both painful and educational, causing me to question many of my own long-held beliefs, asking whether they were implanted unconsciously by some external authority or the result of my own thoughtful analysis.
Of course, the media is only an instrument of propaganda and social control owned by the oligarchs. Which is why I keep coming back to the hypothesis of a rich cabal currently attempting to institute an authoritarian global government as the primary driving force.
