Welcome, and I must say we are entering an exciting time. It seems, as I pointed out a few weeks ago, that the authorities and the science were trying to spin down the COVID narrative. As it played out, they were also trying to maintain much of the illegitimate power gained due to the “Public Health Crisis”. Unfortunately for them, the narrative is spinning down, but they are losing control of the thread and that is a good thing.
At this time, we have a 45 mile long convoy of truckers in Canada clogging all the streets in Ottawa (here, here, and here). This is working, even though the mainstream is trying to paint them as some kind of violent mob (here, here, and here), while reality (that has nothing to do with the news) is that, so far, the group has been totally peaceful (here). Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has condemned the convoy (here, here, and here) even
as he has gone to ground. This is no surprise because the stated goals of the convoy are not only that all the mandates and restrictions be lifted, but that Mr. Trudeau also step down. The convoy has pledged to stay in Ottawa, blocking traffic, and not delivering goods across the country until those things happen (here, here, here, and here). The same is going on around the world (here, here, here, and here). The interesting thing here is how little coverage there is of most of it. You would think this would be front page news everywhere, but it isn’t covered until it is just too obvious not to be covered, and then it is covered inaccurately, as secondary news, or spun so most readers will come away with the wrong opinion, intentionally.
However, the cracks are forming and one of the most public, and obvious, is the made up “controversy” with Joe Rogan. While I don’t always agree with him, I do respect the fact that he is a normal person in respect to wanting to hear all the information and then decide for himself what is right. Unfortunately, not accepting the narrative at face value and seeking second opinions, or even just hearing the other side out, is one of the biggest crimes against the WOKE you can commit. So, he must be silenced. Please note that the conversations in question were all with highly credentialed, published, and recognized professionals, in fields pertaining directly to the COVID pandemic. The only flaw in their resumes is that they are not state-sanctioned talking heads. As such they can’t possibly be “The Science” that is Fauci’s job (here). The interesting thing is, these highly educated scientists with years of research experience, that Rogan interviewed, have been right all along and nearly every conspiracy they have espoused since the beginning of the “Pandemic” is now accepted fact. For example:
1. Cloth masks work. (They don’t and all the research said they didn’t.)
2. Lock downs would stop the spread and save lives. (They didn’t. Countries with no restrictions did no better or worse over all than the most restricted countries.)
3. The vaccine will prevent COVID infection. (It doesn’t.)
4. The vaccine will prevent you from spreading COVID. (It doesn’t do this either, in the ever-moving goal posts of justification.)
The list could go on, but you get the picture. The powers that be are so scared (and they should be) that their carefully crafted narrative of control is coming apart and might well leave them with less power in the end. They are panicking as fewer and fewer people believe the mainstream media or their narratives. To combat open and honest conversation between multiple viewpoints, the Deep State has to manufacture outrage and opposition to the free conversation. In the case of Mr. Rogan’s podcast, they first fabricated a letter from 270 doctors protesting Joe’s misinformation (here and here). It quickly came out that the letter wasn’t from 270 doctors. As it turns out, only 87 of them were doctors and the majority of the rest were a hodgepodge of other various professions, including engineers, teachers, and psychologists, among others (here and here). Most of the signatories have jobs and skills that have nothing to do with the medical treatment of COVID. After that didn’t work, the establishment then drug up an old hippy no one cares about anymore with Neil Young demanding that Spotify crush free speech on their platform or no longer utilize his music. This was followed by other washed up nobodies in Nils Lofgren and Joni Mitchell. The thing that makes this ironic is most of those people made their bones protesting the narrative of Vietnam and supporting free speech, and now they are just cogs in the suppression machine. It is clear they either never really had the courage of their conviction or they sold it. Either way, it is pathetic. So far, Spotify is still hosting Mr. Rogan and I hope they continue to do so. Sadly, it is probably more a strictly economic decision than moral one.
The establishment is also after our own Substack. Ironically, Chelsea Clinton, who has made a living off of her unqualified opinions and parents connections to get do-nothing jobs board sitting, has called the platform (here and here):
“Anti-vaxx grift going strong - why is Substack facilitating science denialists’ ability to profit from destructive lies (and comfortable profiting themselves)?”
“Anti-vaxxers making ‘at least $2.5m’ a year from publishing on Substack”
This was apparently to draw attention to a Guardian article (here) who got its information from a group called Countering Digital Hate (because apparently asking questions and pointing out facts that don’t line up is hate). The chief executive of Countering Digital Hate said this:
Imran Ahmed, chief executive of CCDH, said companies like Substack were under “no obligation” to amplify vaccine scepticism and make money from it. “They could just say no. This isn’t about freedom; this is about profiting from lies … Substack should immediately stop profiting from medical misinformation that can seriously harm readers.”
So apparently, adults can’t read multiple points of view, examine different sets of presented evidence and make a rational decision based on all inputs. That is essentially what they are saying. If you don’t believe government anointed experts, and choose to believe equally qualified non-government anointed experts, you have been dangerously mislead. It comes down to the authoritarian ideal that people are incapable of acting in their best interests, so they have to be limited. Fortunately, Substack has declined the request to censor content (here) and the response is perfect.
I think the bottom line is that they pushed too hard, too fast, and got caught lying too much this time, and on a global scale. We are on the cusp, if not already crossing the boarder of a first follower scenario, and they must stop it. The first follower premise is that when a leader emerges, at first he is strange and avoided, but after they get their first follower, they get the second much more quickly, then a third more quickly still, and like a snowball in a cartoon, soon those not following are the weird minority. This video illustrates the point (here). As the global protests get larger, the risks of joining get smaller, and more people at the tipping point become aware of them. As a result, if the establishment is to retain even the power they had before the Pandemic, they have to misrepresent the protests, hide the protests, and silence alternative points of view. The big tech giants Google, Facebook, Twitter, and others have been trying to do this from the beginning with their opinion checkers and bans on people and ideas that err into ‘bad think’. However, due to the decentralized, uncontrolled nature of the internet, they have largely failed, as new platforms and options open to fill the freedom void.
Since we are winning slowly, we are at a very dangerous point because we are becoming a threat that can’t be tolerated as we ask questions and try to find objective reality. Those in power are looking for the next big crisis and they will manufacture it if need be. They have before (here). Don’t think they are beyond doing it again. Especially with a new Rasmussen poll showing 60% of all likely voters think Biden should be impeached (here). Overall it breaks down like this:
Men – 57%
Women – 62%
18-39 – 54%
40-64 – 63%
65+ – 61%
White – 60%
Black – 56%
Other Non-White – 61%
Dem – 40%
Unaff – 58%
GOP – 83%
All Voters – 60%
Impeached for what? Not sure. It isn’t clear, but I am sure Hunter’s laptop has enough information, or his enacting a policy he knew was unconstitutional but would get done before the courts could stop it (a violation of his oath) (here). But apparently, most people want it. While I can’t say I disagree, the people pulling Biden’s strings probably won’t stand for it. So, I expect something big, maybe even unnecessary war with Russia big. So keep praying, stay vigilant, and God Bless you.
