You know, if I were one of those billionaires and saw how unremittingly gullible the general public is with respect to anything on CNN, I'd also feel justified in manipulating the world for my own profit.

It's truly stunning how stupid people can be in large numbers, over and over and over again, no matter how obviously CNN and the rest of the MSM is lying.

It makes me question my faith in humanity.

Good question. My guess some rich people here. When they were impeaching Trump non stop there were rich swamp creatures on both sides involved.

To this day they never told us who funded BLM. They took forever to tell us who funded impeachment hoax. Everything happens because some rich ducks want it.

I've also noticed that in California:

- no fires yet (Were all of the 2020 fires set by paid protester agents of Soros?)
- no more random fireworks at night to stir up unease
- no more BLM grafitti

It's like Soros cut off the money spigot right after he got what he wanted.

1) They will hate a fellow citizen who is slightly different but love the elite who is completely different.

I agree completely.

An American with a cow will hate the neighbor with two cows, but worship the cattle rancher with thousands.

Not that most Americans own cows anymore, but in principle the psychology still works like that. Bill Gates personally strangled dozens or maybe hundreds of infant companies in their cradles just so that no one could challenge Microsoft. But most Americans think to seem he is worth honoring and imitating because he made a lot of money from these crimes.

It was started by an illegal trying to hide the murder of his wife or girlfriend.

It was almost comical to view the elites when Trump slightly dithered from class structure.. They just took it as a betrayal and never rested until remove him.

Yes, though I think it was kind of mutual. Trump never felt accepted by the rest of the elite because his manners and his schooling are not the same as theirs. He looks and sounds much lower class than they do.

So maybe the whole presidency was just a way for Trump to get back at the rest of the American elite for being snobs. That's OK with me if so.

This kooky Dutch chick takes WAY too long to make her case, but she may be onto something. She shows how three financial entities, Black Rock, State Street, and Vanguard own the largest stakes in EVERY FUCKING THING YOU CAN THINK OF. No joke, you can see for yourself, just go to Yahoo Finance, pick any major stock, click on “holders” and it is always some configuration of those three in the top five. Apparently Bloomberg News has referred to Black Rock as "the fourth brach of government"

Scientists on a committee that encouraged the use of fear to control people’s behaviour during the Covid pandemic have admitted its work was “unethical” and “totalitarian”.
Members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour (SPI-B) expressed regret about the tactics in a new book about the role of psychology in the Government’s Covid-19 response.
SPI-B warned in March last year that ministers needed to increase “the perceived level of personal threat” from Covid-19 because “a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened”.
Gavin Morgan, a psychologist on the team, said: “Clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism. It’s not an ethical stance for any modern government. By nature I am an optimistic person, but all this has given me a more pessimistic view of people.”
Mr Morgan spoke to author Laura Dodsworth, who has spent a year investigating the Government’s tactics for her book A State of Fear, published on Monday.
Ministers have faced repeated accusations that they ramped up the threat from the pandemic to justify lockdowns and coerce the public into abiding by them – a claim that will be examined by the forthcoming public inquiry into the pandemic response.

Oh, a government is going to investigate itself?

I'd probably commit crimes too if I got to be judge at my own trial.

As well as overt warnings about the danger of the virus, the Government has been accused of feeding the public a non-stop diet of bad news, such as deaths and hospitalisations, without ever putting the figures in context with news of how many people have recovered, or whether daily death tolls are above or below seasonal averages.
Another member of SPI-B said they were "stunned by the weaponisation of behavioural psychology" during the pandemic, and that “psychologists didn’t seem to notice when it stopped being altruistic and became manipulative. They have too much power and it intoxicates them”.
Steve Baker, the deputy chairman of the Covid Recovery Group of Tory MPs, said: “If it is true that the state took the decision to terrify the public to get compliance with rules, that raises extremely serious questions about the type of society we want to become.
“If we’re being really honest, do I fear that Government policy today is playing into the roots of totalitarianism? Yes, of course it is.”

The Next Step is to gaslight everybody that it wasn't that bad and that masks were never really rammed down throats, that's a Right Wing Conspiracy Theory History Revision.

Speaking of History Revision and Memory Holing and general Globohomo Fuckery, Youtube is disappearing dislikes from the Army's new Woke Recruiting Videos.

Patrick says

How can global policy and media across the world be so coordinated?

Kind of makes one tempted to believe in "conspiracy theories".

Patrick, you know there's been conspiracies before.

Gulf of Tonkin was a conspiracy. The weapons of mass destruction claim in Iraq was a conspiracy. There's conspiracies all the time, there's so many that I'm surprised that people still deny they exist. When businesses work together in secret, that's a conspiracy - that's how Parler was kicked off the net for a period of time - it's called a Trust, and although the US has laws against them, they are only selectively enforced.

Media is "coordinated" because people that step outside the narrative are severely punished - like Julian Assange is being punished, and there is Operation Mockingbird which is claimed to be "a conspiracy theory" - but it isn't, it's just a conspiracy.

Operation Mockingbird was revealed to the public during the Church Committee hearings - in 1975.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee

If you search for Operation Mockingbird, you'll find it in that page.

But if you go to the page for Operation Mockingbird, Wikipedia calls its "alleged"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

It's NOT alleged.

So the reason that western press "coordinates" is that it's been infiltrated, more than 46 years ago. When I say the west really doesn't have a true free press, I'm not exaggerating at all. It doesn't have a press. The last remnants of our press died out in the 1990s.

@Patrick - the link to "original link" isn't working correctly.

I think that people are just sick of the mask nonsense.
I also think some places are more on top of it than others, who just follow the lead of the USA.
The fires last year near Santa Cruz were started by lightning, a fire down near Big Sur was set by a Mexican, others near I-5 were set up north by idiots.
Hardly anyone believes the nonsense from CNN these days.
After the censorship of any discussion of the November election steal, it’s clear that not just government but also tech companies hate the American people.

Attended a wedding in Denver last night, major hotel venue.

Not a single mask was worn by any individual attending the wedding.

Why would anyone? Masks aren't going away, but we're finally entering the phase where it's more accepted if you don't wear one. At least in highly populated areas. We've been done for a while in my part of IL. Chicago not so much, though I haven't been recently besides airports.

Went to a concert on Friday (drive in) and was told we had to wear masks. Parked the car and no one was wearing a mask. I was worried they'd enforce it, but they didn't. This was just outside Chicago, so I was a bit surprised. Lots of smoking and drinking and eating, so maybe too hard to enforce. Holy shit though, first concert here in IL for me since legal dope. I think I got high from all the other people smoking. My neighbors kid (17) was DD. Yeah.... he knew what was going on.

Good show though and the drive in concept is interesting. BYOB which saved us a fuck ton of money instead of $10 beers.

Thanks @richwicks I will try to fix that today.
