Who you were during the first month of COVID is you really are. Everyone loves “freedom” now that’s easy and popular to love freedom

Did you love it when it was unpopular?

This is exactly why I’m hesitant to be around those who acted shamefully during Covid. Maybe they came around later, but how they acted during a “stressful situation” is who they really are.

COVID insanity did a lot of bad. But it was a hugely beneficial stress test for the people in your life.

That mom of yours who banned you from visiting her because your kids weren’t vaccinated? Yeah, she’s gonna turn you into the state for your guns one day.

Vanity prevents them from admitting that they are wrong

It must be completely humiliating to be a bougiecrat right now:
• you believed in the thing,
• you swore on your mama’s life that it would work,
• you did the thing 2, 3, 4, 5+ times,
• the thing hurt you and left you feeling miserable for days/weeks/months/years,
• the thing did not work and you still got the ro’,
• a friend, neighbor, or co-worker died suddenly without any explanation other than the thing,
• you have a nagging suspicion that some of your actions over the last 2 and a half years were unethical and unwise,
• and now the FDA just flat out admitted that they hate science and the American people by skipping clinical trials.
So what is to be done?
• more scapegoating and projection onto the people who have been right since the beginning I imagine.

For over a year, the sickened vaxxers have taken refuge in the Panglossian “woulda been worse” nonsense. Do the personnel who administer the shots make the injectees sign a form saying that if they get sick, they have to invoke that phrase? Or do they make injectees watch a training video, like those ones that HR shows people at work, with role-playing actors who self-assuredly invoke that shopworn lie? If so, does such a video have a quiz at the end, where the injectee must answer the question “What should you say to others if you get sick after vaxxing?” by selecting option C: “I would have died if I hadn’t vaxxed!”

There probably isn’t a vaxxers’ training video; it only feels like there is. Most likely, this blindly devout vaxx support just derives from the daily NPR/NYT/CNN/PBS propaganda onslaught.

The formulaic—and utterly unscientific—vaxx apologists’ knee-jerk “Woulda been worse!” is just ego over facts. It hurts the vaxxers too much to admit they, and their political party’s leaders, have been wrong about everything for 30 months.

My favorite movie ending: "Vanity, my favorite sin"

People get used to self-programming early in life through an educational system well designed to set the process in motion. They learn whatever Newspeak they need to get along at community hubs and cocktail parties, which serves to reinforce false perceptions learned by skilled TV watchers. Though people often detect levels of BS in the information ecosystem, the most intellectually capable are kept in stalls in their corners of the specialist maze, repeating what they've learned about domains outside of their own which they read about in The Atlantic.

The result is that the specialists are either hypnotized into a narcissistic state that is the Matrix that they participate in building, or they face a prisoner's dilemma in which they perceive it to be in their [psychopathic or sociopathic] best interest to act as a projector of the image of the Matrix in which they specialize.

When viewed as a war story, the COVID-19 narrative framed in corporate media urges citizens to be on a constant “war footing” and yet reveals symptoms of a much deeper and more widespread pathology whose roots can be clearly identified in the context of the emergence of corporate personhood. Contemporary life itself reveals the rise of a new technocratic corporate order and the ways in which its managers plan to govern the new medicalized global society through (a) ongoing events of shock and awe, (b) the identification of official enemies (human, non-human and conceptual), (c) the sustained imposition of threat-perception and incitement of fear, (d) the use of mantras and smear campaigns against dissident views, (e) the fascist enforcement of a rigid official reality, (f) the incubation of intergroup thinking (“us” vs. “them”), (g) the imposition of confusion and uncertainty, (h) the repetition of key phrases and terms, and (i) the offer of salvation (or associated incentives) by the state. This article analyzes the leading narrative as a concoction of the technocratic mind and offers a recipe for readers to follow in their efforts to be more aware of the manipulations unfolding everywhere in the public discourse.

Where the white women at? Long Covid clinics, of course! It's like a yoga studio, but with doctors!

"Of the more than 1,200 patients seen at our clinic between April 2021 and April 2022, nearly 80 percent were white and just over 70 percent were female"

Why are liberal white women the source of all insanity in the world?

Death Cultists Want Everyone Drinking Their Mass Ritual Suicide Injectable Kool Aid

It is these very overzealous Death Cultist useful idiots that are the ground forces of this technocommunist takeover. They have been so badly programmed for their entire lives that they mindlessly push the depopulation and control agenda while believing that they are profoundly virtuous for doing so.

Most of these NPC’s cannot be helped. They are the walking dead. Do not engage them. Avoid them at all costs.

The Death Cultists that do finally wake up must be welcomed with open arms.

Do NOT comply.

Yes, it’s the Morning After … that revolting regurgitant chorus you’re hearing is the sound of millions of Covidian Cultists down on their knees in their gender-neutral bathrooms praying to the Porcelain God.

It has been quite a trip these last two and a half years, but the orgy of fear and hatred is over, the mass hysteria is wearing off, and the reality of the damage they have done is beginning to become undeniable.

Countless thousands of people have been killed, seriously injured, and permanently disabled, victims of experimental “vaccines” they did not need but were coerced into taking. Societies have been torn apart, economies crippled, institutions discredited, democratic precepts like the rule of law and constitutional rights made mockeries of themselves, friends and families turned against each other, and so on, and the dust hasn’t even settled yet. It will take many years to assess the damage … or, rather, to recontextualize, rationalize, deny, and memory-hole the damage (while simultaneously “normalizing” the fascistic biosecurity dystopia the damage made it possible to implement). ...

You can’t keep people whipped up into a state of full-blown hysteria indefinitely. When you’re radically destabilizing and restructuring a society, you hit them hard with the Shock-and-Awe for a few weeks, or months (or years in this case), and then you gently ease them into the new “reality.” Which, after being systematically terrorized, gaslighted, threatened, and otherwise tormented for however long you did that to them, they’ll be grateful for anything resembling “normality,” no matter how fascistic it turns out to be. ...

And now their “reality” is changing again, or “The Science is evolving,” or whatever, and the absurdities they forced themselves to believe are being exposed as … well, as absurdities, and their fanatical and often fascistic behavior, as it turns out, was based on absolutely nothing.

Many of them couldn’t care less, as their behavior was never “based” on anything other than going along with the herd, and so they have simply transitioned from fanatically hating “the Unvaccinated” to fanatically hating “the Russians,” and fanatically supporting Ukrainian neo-Nazis, and fanatically doing whatever else the GloboCap puppets on their televisions instruct them to fanatically do.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra: I Was Willfully Blind Until I Wasn't

"I was willfully blind, certainly in relation to the vaccine and the harms, until I wasn't. And that's why it's crucial that we tackle this both with compassion (and the facts) because there are many people who are still willfully blind. And I think remaining in echo chambers and pointing fingers isn't getting us anywhere."

Explosive Documents Expose Government’s Covid Shot Propaganda Campaign

The U.S. federal government has been running a sophisticated propaganda campaign that seeks to convince the public to get vaccinated for COVID-19 through fabricated narratives and celebrity endorsements, newly unsealed documents have revealed.

249 pages of explosive documents were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Washington D.C. watchdog Judicial Watch on Tuesday. ...

The unsealed documents reveal a disturbing agenda to promote vaccinations through the media and Big Tech.

The plans involved recruiting celebrities, sports stars, TV shows, podcasts, and trusted organizations to push “vaccination messaging” onto the public.

There are two problems with letting bygones be bygones and ignoring the hypochondriacal phobias of our fellow citizens. One, seeing people’s faces, going to work in offices, and having normal social interactions are part of a functioning society. But also, the last Covidians are giving cover to a parade of Covid lies.

The longer they are allowed to pretend that Covid is still an emergency that must be a part of everything we do, the more reasonable the 2020 absurdities — like washing your groceries and not touching doorknobs — seem and the more justified the immoral lockdowns appear to be.

The real kindness here is to tell people who aren’t at rare, unique, and specific risk to Covid that they look utterly ridiculous when they continue these absurd precautions that didn’t work in the first place. It’s like wearing a T-shirt that says, “don’t take anything I say seriously.”

If we were all in it together when it was time to shut off the lights and huddle in our houses to fight the virus, then we must all be in it together as we emerge from our lockdown nightmare. It’s time to take the mask off your face or face the fact that you look like a fool. And it is nobody else’s job to pretend that you don’t.

If we were all in it together when it was time to shut off the lights and huddle in our houses to fight the virus, then we must all be in it together as we emerge from our lockdown nightmare.

Remember when white suburban women voted to rid the world of mean tweets, only to put the world on the brink of nuclear war instead? What is it with you suburban white women? You want to murder your children before they’re born, mutilate them after they are, and now Armageddon.

The original models were off … way off, and millions did not drop dead on the side of the road due to the most dangerous plague in the history of mankind. And it is not because of strict measures enacted by governments, because we can now say with certainty that Sweden, Florida, Belarus and South Dakota – to name a few – are not merely magical lands that exist beyond the Wardrobe but are real places where virtually no lockdowns were ever mandated. ...

In any case, our governments were wrong about COVID, and so were the majority of the news agencies. Whether it was predictions about death rates, or efficacy of vaccines, of the ever-changing prophecies of Dr. Anthony Fauci, things just don’t add up, and we were sold a bill of goods.

But what if you drank too much Kool-Aid?
Now, maybe you have known this for a long time, or maybe you just woke up to what was really happening a few days ago. Maybe when they told you to take your fourth jab you said to yourself, “I don’t remember having to take jabs every six months for all the other plagues … ”

How do you move forward?
Given all that has happened, you are asking yourself: “How can I ever move forward?”

Sadly, like many, you have had bitter arguments and falling outs with friends and family who you wrote off as irresponsible because they didn’t believe handkerchiefs over your mouth would stop an apocalypse. Or, even worse, you labeled everyone who didn’t get jabbed as an “anti-vaxxer” just because they weren’t comfortable with a jab that has been around for less time than Trudeau has been Prime Minister.

Maybe you repeated the lies about the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” but then stumbled upon the actual information from the government that showed the opposite. ...

If you haven’t burned any bridges and haven’t hurled any insults or accusations at your COVID-skeptic loved ones, then moving forward and reconciling may mean that you should simply show up to a barbecue, without a mask on, and act like its 2019.

Most people who have missed you aren’t looking to hold a grudge, and they probably have missed you and would be happy to see you, even unannounced. ...

What if it is not that simple?

What if you hurled insults at your family members, or disinvited them from Christmas? Maybe you said some things on social media that you wish you could take back … but can’t.

Well, in that case, it is not a matter of COVID, or a vaccine. It is a matter of morals.

If you supported vaccine segregation, then you supported segregation, which is simply immoral, vaccine aside. If that is the case, then any reconciliation will be relative to the relationship.

It may be difficult to reconcile with people who were made to feel like lepers, especially if those feelings were heightened by the words and actions of immediate family members.

I can say from personal experience, it did not matter that the whole world lost its mind, but when an immediate family member said, “I’ll take the vax over you,” it was something that cut very deep. ...

If you are in a position where you know it is time to reconcile with spurned friends and loved ones, I would encourage you to act fast, because those of us to were exiled by the people we cared about have largely reconciled with the fact that there are certain relationships that will never be recovered.

Can you really blame us?
