I have continually wondered why so many people have reacted so irrationally and fearfully to the Coronavirus(es). I perceive several reasons. Sadly, many Americans have high baseline anxiety. Others were driven by political rooting interests; they knew that disrupting society over Covid would enable Trump’s ouster and facilitate continuing, encompassing social and electoral control. And many consume, and actually believe, alarmist mainstream media. ...

In addition to the foregoing reasons, I’m convinced that many people have wanted to ... live through an exciting, society-wide, anything-could-happen crisis...

I knew lockdowns were a terrible idea from Day 1. The “History” that has happened has not been a viral wave, but the unprecedented, extreme, destructive overreaction to it. Since when do we lock down an entire society for a respiratory virus, especially when only unhealthy, old or obese people are at risk? BTW, well over 95% of the old, unhealthy, infected survived without treatment. ...

Related to feeling like they’re part of some grand historical event, the Corona fearful people suffer deficits of meaning in their lives. Coronamania enabled them to fill this void. The “Pandemic(!) has given them something to which to devote themselves. ...

The “We’re all in this together” and the demonstrably false “my mask—and then my vaxx—protect you” propaganda was targeted very effectively at the meaning seekers.

Taking steps to “stop the spread” felt heroic to them. They could claim—and often did on the Net—that they cared more about their fellow Americans than did those who opposed lockdowns, masks and “vaxxes.” They saw— and incredibly, still see— themselves as occupying higher moral ground; though people who purport to care so deeply about the elderly dying with the virus did not, in my awareness, frequently visit nursing homes before the Scamdemic.

Being heroic has never been as easy as during Coronamania. Covid heroism has entailed staying home and watching Netflix or YouTube, ordering takeout meals and groceries, wearing political theater masks, taking a few injections and sending mean tweets about those who questioned the worth of any of that nonsense. The Corona “social distancing” measures weren’t hard for the misanthropic or introverted, or for those who got paid not to work, or received other “free” government money and could skip their commutes. ...

Overall, the Corona fearful want to show that, by relying on their smarts and sacrifice, they will slay a formidable foe. This is ludicrous. The data show what has been obvious from Day 1: nearly everyone survives infection, and humans can’t crush respiratory viruses. Various politicians are hoping that many Americans will remain as gullible as they have been for the past 22 months, and that many voters will mistakenly credit government interventions for improving statistics. But many tens of millions have developed natural immunity and the virus is weakening naturally. Additionally, many people have found and used inexpensive, effective preventive measures and therapeutics, despite the government’s active, sinister efforts to suppress knowledge about self-care. ...

Ultimately, it’s been painful to see that normal life is so unsatisfying for many people that they’ve been willing to drop a nuclear bomb on society in order to live out a crisis fantasy.

I must confess Mark that I am baffled/bewildered by this Covid hoax thing. I will be 95 next birthday. I grew up during the depression. I am a WWll and Korean War veteran. I have out lived two wonderful wives and one of my eight children. Life has been, at times, an extremely eventful experience. I have many friends, relatives,and colleagues that have had similar life experiences. My point is that none of the catastrophic events, global, national, local or personal have caused the kind of situation that we are seeing today.

What are people of today made of, that they will so easily be herded into cowering in their homes like mindless animals.

look at her fawning, rapturous face as he suggests that we do not tolerate these unclean people.

she is outright salivating to do this.

she quivers in anticipation.

she cannot wait to indulge her delicious fantasies of being beastly to people while feeling righteous about it because she’s been granted an indulgence as a holy warrior.

that is a face of religious ecstasy.

this is her dream.

this is her happy place.

and there are many more like her.

demagogues do not make people evil, they reveal the evil that was there all along.

they give those in which it is resident license to not only express but to revel in their basest desires.

I'm so done with with this bullshit I started directly confronting jabbers and paranoid leftoid pansies, friend, foe, family zero fucks given.

Yes, and any dip that says: "I follow the science" should get asked "What does polymerase mean?" "What is a B and a T cell, and how do they relate to long term immunity?" "You have no idea? Then you are just blindly following the propaganda, as these items are very basic science."

i hope that guy in the back makes it through OK….

vaccinated vast numbers of their citizens with mRNA and DNA vaccines that appeared hugely effective in clinical trials.

vaccinated vast numbers of their citizens with mRNA and DNA vaccines that appeared hugely effective in clinical trials.

FOI releases from Pfizer have shown "highly effective in clinical trials" to be bogus as well.

Calling these things "vaccines" is a really bad idea. Once people call them "vaccines" they are implicitly conceding that they are the same type of thing as conventional vaccines.

France suspends debates after Macron admitted he wants to “piss off” those without a vaccine passport

Corona persists, because in early 2020, a lot of people with outsized social, economic and political influence were converted into to a parareligious belief system about how best to manage a respiratory virus. This system has been reinforced by months of hysterical press coverage; by bad propaganda disease statistics; and by an imprudent, heavily policed scientific consensus. These all started life as a coordinated information campaign to promote and enforce Chinese-style authoritarian lockdowns in the West. Since then, the propaganda has become an autonomous, self-sustaining media and bureaucratic organism, driven by the personal fears and convictions of untold thousands of people, and nobody can shut it off.

if you hold a view with sufficient strength and commitment, especially if this is a view you have woven into your identify and proudly promulgated to others, hectoring and posing and portraying it as virtue, letting go is no mean feat.

the dogma has become you and you have become reliant upon it for support and structure. those who mutter in their madness the same phrases over and over as they rock back and forth upon the ground are not trying to convince you.

they are trying to convince themselves.

they will bend fact and ignore plain reality to protect the fictions upon which they have predicated their lives and legends.

they will distort and disavow anything they must to keep this piece of personal ego intact and safe from challenge it cannot, in fair contest, withstand. ...

all perspective was lost to hobgoblins and we surrendered to the neurocracy: rule by the most neurotic; and those who have been atop this newfound karentopia would like to stay there. ...




this is not helping.

this is not concern.

this is not empathy.

this is taking a paranoid schizophrenic and prescribing them a handgun and then telling them to shoot at the voices. (and then forcing us to live in the house with them while they do)

In a decision reached seemingly overnight, the New Zealand government suddenly announced that it would vaccinate the entire country with the Pfizer vaccine, after having previously announced the purchase of multiple other brands. Apparently, the public would not be offered a choice. I found this odd. And when I began to investigate the agreements between South American countries and Pfizer in which Pfizer had demanded embassies and military bases as collateral, I was alarmed.

How is this teacher not in prison?

With Coronamania having taken a sledge hammer to social life, one has to expend greater effort to have face to face contact with family and friends. If your past 22 months have resembled mine, some of your peeps have deeply internalized the madness. They no longer view you as someone who has shared important life experiences, or a thousand laughs, with them. Your new identity is as a viral vector: someone who will likely infect them and land them in the hospital, where they will die!

I call this group of people “ex-friends.” I wrote about them a while ago.

LOSING FRIENDS AND ALIENATING FAMILY DURING THE CORONAVIRUS SCAMDEMIC (substack.com)

I didn’t think it was possible, but Covid Era life has gotten even weirder since the 2021 Vaxx Crusade began. People who know me tend to know, or suspect, that I have not injected. And I won’t. Though I’m not like a vegan who is driven to tell everyone about his status.

Since you asked, here are my reasons, summarized: I’m at functionally zero risk of dying from a Coronavirus infection. So are you. I don’t know what’s in those shots, nor do I know their long term effects. Neither do you. And everyone I know who’s been infected in the past six months has been injected; the group of injected/infected grows each week. Yeah, yeah, I know: “It woulda been worse if they hadn’t ‘vaxxed.’”

Except that it wouldn’t have been.

Additionally, by way of comparison, no “unvaxxed” person I know has been infected.

I don’t want Pharma to get credit for saving humanity when the shots were not needed in the first place: 99.98% of those basically healthy and under 65 survive infection, even without treatment. And the shots have already injured and killed many thousands.

But facts haven’t mattered for two years. All that’s mattered are greatly exaggerated fear, politics and virtue signaling.

Omicron is a highly contagious variant with immune escape features. The vaccinators can vaccinate all they want, but their vaccines will not stop the waves of infection to come. A lot of the hyperbolic rhetoric about Corona was put about in the hopes that the most everyone wouldn’t be infected. They thought they could terrify people for a few years, vaccinate them, and harvest their gratitude for saving them from the worst respiratory virus since SARS. Now, though, it it is clear that everyone will have personal experience with Corona infection, whether or not they are vaccinated. This will destroy popular faith in measures, it will erode confidence in the vaccines, and it will do away with fear of the virus. Maybe a few people somewhere will still support containment, after two years of heavy restrictions, mandated vaccinations, and personal experience with infection, but I doubt there will be very many of them.

it’s already ending. masks are not going to work. they’re a talisman and a form of public health performance art cosplay. the evidence for this is literally overwhelming and was knowable, has been proven time and time again for covid, and has been known for 100 years.

the WHO knew it in 2019. masks cannot even stop flu, and flu is far less aerosol than covid. a 150nm virion takes weeks to fall to the floor in still air. tell me again how waiting to sit down to unmask makes one iota of difference…

US standing pandemic guidelines expressed it.

they are not source protection.

they do not work in schools.

even the feckless fauci knew it once upon a time.

and no, N95’s are no different.

so why do we keep doing it?

it’s because masks are the low energy panic reflex. lockdowns were too severe to sustain. the damage was too great and not even the fear raddled leaders could maintain them or had the inclination to try again.

but masks are a lesser ask. they are highly visible, performative, require personal action, and provide visible evidence of government governing and public health “doing something.”

but it’s all sugar pills. it will do nothing to stop covid. it is, quite literally, a wubbie in a thunderstorm.

BUT, and this is a massive “but”, because the timing of panic in a gompertz curve is so reliably the point right when things have already started getting better but before this is readily visible to people not looking at it properly, the people who put these policies into play and their societal victims are going to mistake it for efficacy.

they do it time and time again.

and because they have no control group, we wind up here:

LA Times Columnist: When Unvaxxed Die, We Need to Celebrate
Leftists are the caring and compassionate ones, and don't you forget it.

In this coordinated propaganda and censorship response, we can clearly see the hands of the BBC-led Trusted News Initiative, the Scientific Technological Elite, the transnational investment funds and their World Economic Forum allies which control Pfizer and most of Big Pharma, Legacy Media and Big Tech (and many national governments) acting in real time to suppress a growing awareness by the general public of having been actively manipulated using crowd psychology tools to generate clinically significant fear and anxiety of COVID-19 (otherwise known as “Coronaphobia”) to advance their agendas on a global scale. Multiple governments have now admitted to actively using fear and 'Mass Formation'-related theories as a tool for totalitarian population control during this outbreak. This is occurring at the same time that Omicron is destroying the legitimacy of government and WHO propaganda concerning the “Safe and Effective” mRNA vaccines and associated mandates.

Such a state of things went on and took effect up to a certain period; but, with the increase of deaths and desolation, and the terror of the survivors, these officers came to be, as it were, exempted from all supervision; they constituted themselves, the monatti… the arbiters of everything.

Coming Clean: Why I’m Taking a Stand Against COVID Vaccines
Cory Zue, an “MIT-educated, well-meaning, rational (hopefully), Massachusetts-born, Democrat who works in public health” explains why he didn’t get the COVID vaccine, and why it isn’t okay to live in a world in which medical procedures can be forced on people without an impenetrable foundation of evidence to support them.

For most people my vaccination status is surprising. For many, it’s incomprehensible.

How could an MIT-educated, well-meaning, rational (hopefully), Massachusetts-born, Democrat who works in public health still not have a COVID vaccine?

Facts don't work - they are aimed at the neocortex. And the pro-ganda is aimed at stirring up herd feeling through the mammalian brain, and a fear reflex in the reptilian brain. Ability to process facts is pretty much disabled.

the problem with herd animals is that you do not even need to make sense to lead them. you do not need reason or righteousness, you just have to offer them a sense of belonging, a sense of status, and a sense of safety.

do this, and the entire structure is payload agnostic. they really do not care if you change your narrative and keep altering the facts and ideology. this becomes easy.

covid was a fish head left in your kitchen trash overnight. climate is a sushi bar dumpster during an august trash collector’s strike.

This isn’t going to be pretty, folks. The downfall of a death cult rarely is. There is going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth, incoherent fanatical jabbering, mass deleting of embarrassing tweets.

There’s going to be a veritable tsunami of desperate rationalizing, strenuous denying, shameless blame-shifting, and other forms of ass-covering, as suddenly former Covidian Cult members make a last-minute break for the jungle before the fully-vaxxed-and-boosted “Safe and Effective Kool-Aid” servers get to them.

Yes, that’s right, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, the official Covid narrative is finally falling apart, or is being hastily disassembled, or historically revised, right before our eyes.

The “experts” and “authorities” are finally acknowledging that the “Covid deaths” and “hospitalization” statistics are artificially inflated and totally unreliable (which they have been from the very beginning), and they are admitting that their miracle “vaccines” don’t work (unless you change the definition of the word “vaccine”), and that they have killed a few people, or maybe more than a few people, and that lockdowns were probably “a serious mistake.”

I am not going to bother with further citations. You can surf the Internet as well as I can.

The point is, the “Apocalyptic Pandemic” PSYOP has reached its expiration date. After almost two years of mass hysteria over a virus that causes mild-to-moderate common-cold or flu-like symptoms (or absolutely no symptoms whatsoever) in about 95% of the infected and the overall infection fatality rate of which is approximately 0.1% to 0.5%, people’s nerves are shot.

We are all exhausted. Even the Covidian cultists are exhausted. And they are starting to abandon the cult en masse.

It was always mostly just a matter of time. As Klaus Schwab said:

the pandemic represent[ed] a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.”


It isn’t over, but that window is closing, and our world has not been “reimagined” and “reset,” not irrevocably, not just yet. Clearly, GloboCap underestimated the potential resistance to the Great Reset, and the time it would take to crush that resistance.

And now the clock is running down, and the resistance isn’t crushed … on the contrary, it is growing. And there is nothing GloboCap can do to stop it, other than go openly totalitarian, which it can’t, as that would be suicidal. As I noted in a recent column:

New Normal totalitarianism — and any global-capitalist form of totalitarianism — cannot display itself as totalitarianism, or even authoritarianism. It cannot acknowledge its political nature. In order to exist, it must not exist. Above all, it must erase its violence (the violence that all politics ultimately comes down to) and appear to us as an essentially beneficent response to a legitimate ‘global health crisis’ …”

The simulated “global health crisis” is, for all intents and purposes, over. Which means that GloboCap has screwed the pooch.

The thing is, if you intend to keep the masses whipped up into a mindless frenzy of anus-puckering paranoia over an “apocalyptic global pandemic,” at some point, you have to produce an actual apocalyptic global pandemic.

Faked statistics and propaganda will carry you for a while, but eventually people are going to need to experience something at least resembling an actual devastating worldwide plague, in reality, not just on their phones and TVs.

Also, GloboCap seriously overplayed their hand with the miracle “vaccines.” Covidian cultists really believed that the “vaccines” would protect them from infection. Epidemiology experts like Rachel Maddow assured them that they would:

Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person,” Maddow said on her show the evening of March 29, 2021. “A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else,” she added with a shrug. “It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.”

And now they are all sick with…well, a cold, basically, or are “asymptomatically infected,” or whatever. And they are looking at a future in which they will have to submit to “vaccinations” and “boosters” every three or four months to keep their “compliance certificates” current, in order to be allowed to hold a job, attend a school, or eat at a restaurant, which, OK, hardcore cultists are fine with, but there are millions of people who have been complying, not because they are delusional fanatics who would wrap their children’s heads in cellophane if Anthony Fauci ordered them to, but purely out of “solidarity,” or convenience, or herd instinct, or…you know, cowardice.

Many of these people (i.e., the non-fanatics) are starting to suspect that maybe what we “tin-foil-hat-wearing, Covid-denying, anti-vax, conspiracy-theorist extremists” have been telling them for the past 22 months might not be as crazy as they originally thought.

They are back-pedaling, rationalizing, revising history, and just making up all kinds of self-serving bullshit, like how we are now in “a post-vaccine world,” or how “the Science has changed,” or how “Omicron is different,” in order to avoid being forced to admit that they’re the victims of a GloboCap PSYOP and the worldwide mass hysteria it has generated.

Which…fine, let them tell themselves whatever they need to for the sake of their vanity, or their reputations as investigative journalists, celebrity leftists, or Twitter revolutionaries.

If you think these “recovering” Covidian Cult members are ever going to publicly acknowledge all the damage they have done to society, and to people and their families, since March 2020, much less apologize for all the abuse they heaped onto those of us who have been reporting the facts … well, they’re not.

They are going to spin, equivocate, rationalize, and lie through their teeth, whatever it takes to convince themselves and their audience that, when the shit hit the fan, they didn’t click heels and go full “Good German.”

Give these people hell if you need to. I feel just as angry and betrayed as you do. But let’s not lose sight of the ultimate stakes here. Yes, the official narrative is finally crumbling, and the Covidian Cult is starting to implode, but that does not mean that this fight is over.

GloboCap and their puppets in government are not going to cancel the whole “New Normal” program, pretend the last two years never happened, and gracefully retreat to their lavish bunkers in New Zealand and their mega-yachts.

Totalitarian movements and death cults do not typically go down gracefully. They usually go down in a gratuitous orgy of wanton, nihilistic violence as the cult or movement desperately attempts to maintain its hold over its wavering members and defend itself from encroaching reality. And that is where we are at the moment…or where we are going to be very shortly.

Cities, states, and countries around the world are pushing ahead with implementing the New Normal biosecurity society, despite the fact that there is no longer any plausible justification for it. Austria is going ahead with forced “vaccination.” Germany ispreparing to do the same. France is rolling out a national segregation system to punish “the Unvaccinated.” Greece is fining “unvaccinated” pensioners. Australia is operating “quarantine camps.”

Scotland. Italy. Spain. The Netherlands. New York City. San Francisco. Toronto. The list goes on, and on, and on.

I don’t know what is going to happen. I’m not an oracle. I’m just a satirist. But we are getting dangerously close to the point where GloboCap will need to go full-blown fascist if they want to finish what they started.
If that happens, things are going to get very ugly.

I know, things are already ugly, but I’m talking a whole different kind of ugly. Think Jonestown, or Hitler’s final days in the bunker, or the last few months of the Manson Family.

That is what happens to totalitarian movements and death cults once the spell is broken and their official narratives fall apart. When they go down, they try to take the whole world with them.

I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping we can avoid that. From what I have heard and read, it isn’t much fun.

note the question, because it is extremely telling.

it is not “how can we communicate a value proposition?”

it’s not even “how can we clear up misunderstandings?”

it’s “how can we bridge the divide between believers and non-believers?”

believers.

non-believers.

that is not a framing based in science or reason. it’s a framing rooted in religion.
