Believe me when I tell you that the climatists, the Ukrainists, the Covidians, the mass migrationists, and the antiracists are all expressions of the same malign force.
The western borg is not a place. It’s a state of mind. As it expands across the world, it aims to rob other places of their placehood too, and assimilate them to the same shallow diffuse global consumerist project. The western borg likes to conceive of itself as post-national and post-political. Its values, in its own conception, exist on a higher plane, like religious or philosophical truths. They are about “freedom” and “democracy” and “peace” and “human rights.” Yet people in the West do not have much voice in government, they are not free, the western borg instigates wars across the world, and western assimilated governments do not care about anybody’s rights.
Only now one thing is indeed obvious, it is now very clear who the blind are, and who can see. Just as such large numbers of people were blind as Corona bats during the heights of the Covid hysteria, the same people are blind as bats regarding just about everything else going on in the world. Not just Corona. And if I can rely on my recollection, they have always been blind.
I was one of them for quite some time.
It is clear they don’t see the threat to our freedom and the democracy we have fought so hard and diligently to save over the years.
They don’t see the assault on humanity itself with the degradation of human social interplay due to masks, social distancing, the rules against gathering with loved ones in church, social events, funerals, weddings, concerts, plays, among many other restrictions.
They don’t see the damage being done to our children through social regulations and the wearing of masks that cover facial expression and communication and derail social development.
And they certainly don’t see the unconscionable power that the government has forced over us with mandated vaccines—a substance that clearly could have devastating health effects on any who have taken it—and devastating social and personal effects on those who have not.
What is the bigger picture here? What will be the result of this blindness?
One of the prime blind spots the bats have regarding the new world that is being created right before our very eyes (no pun intended) is not at all something to look forward to. These people seem to think the world will be a wonderfully calm place with all amenities required, and many desired, handed to them on a silver platter with only a rental fee attached.
I am reminded of the cult classic Logan’s Run where everyone had a job (or did they even need a job), everyone was happy, had sex all of the time and took whatever pill was required to escape any sort of thinking that may have stubbornly crept in (or was that “Brave New World”?). Only the people living in this bliss were not allowed to live past 30 (in the movie version, in the book it was only 21!).
You can sum up what is “wrong” with what’s ahead rather simply: a hugely efficient world whose efficiency is achieved by a global control that manipulates individuals to do what is necessary in order to keep the world efficient.
What makes a world efficient?
Controlling the climate, the economy, consumption of all goods and services (including entertainment), controlling travel, carbon footprints, jobs, drugs, food, health care, births, personal identity, and a million other things easy to imagine. How will the upper echelon, which will be given the task to oversee this control, accomplish it? Need I say? I think most people reading this can easily fill in those blanks.
Give the kid two marshmallows now with the promise of five down the road, only the kid doesn’t take the five down the road option, he or she takes the two now. Instant gratification.
It doesn’t take much to dangle high-tech-convenience-laden carrots in front of our “now, now, now” culture. Digital ID? No problem if marketed with the promise of ease and convenience—same goes for digital currency, microchips in the hand, eventually drilled into the head, Alexa in the house, in the bedroom, bugs to eat (real meat is destroying the climate, right?)
Rent your music and media instead of buying it, you get a lot more up front. What could go wrong?
Anyone remember when Amazon wiped all Kindle readers free of Orwell’s books “1984” and “Animal Farm” remotely (blessed technology allowed them to) because of their controversial message?
Freedom is controversial you know. At least it is now beginning to be seen as such. If those books were on your shelves no one could take them. ...
Early on I thought that this blindness and ignorance were synonymous. Obviously, that isn’t the case. You could force-feed information into someone who was blind and they will either block it in any way possible (plugging the ears and singing “lalalalala” for one example), or change the subject (violently holding up the hand and say “I’m not talking about this”) or simply attack everything you’ve said with nonsense counter arguments like “if what you are saying were true, it would be on the cover of the New York Times.”
People can and do “take in” the information (on occasion) but their brains do nothing with it.
And what of this arrogance that seems to go hand in hand with the blindness? Can’t these people just be blind and sit in a corner? No, they are arrogant as well, sitting atop their white steed of supreme morality calling you—a fighter for freedom, a staunch defender of free speech and body autonomy as well as a crusader against corruption, corporate greed and evil—calling you selfish, a denier of science, deplorable, a criminal. What’s with that?
I also used to think it had something to do with intelligence. That too proves not to be true. I have, however, found a few common denominators.
One is that most people who are not blind believe in some sort of spiritual paradigm. These paradigms do differ, but there are some common elements (for one, not obsessed with becoming a robot rather than staying a human).
I have also found that people who are not blind believe in things that are astonishingly similar. For example, when Russia invaded Ukraine, I was surprised to see that most of the friends I had made during the Covid run were saying the same things about Russia and Ukraine that I was saying.
They were questioning, looking beyond the propaganda, and understanding that there was more to such a catastrophic event than “four legs good (Ukraine), two legs bad (Russia)” to borrow a George Orwell quote—simple “sheep thinking” from “Animal Farm.”
Truth is universal, and finding the truth requires a universal set of criteria—two of which are having eyes to see, and ears to hear.
Leftist Utility
Leftist utility is another precondition. These crises du jour always serve the purpose of attacking conservatives and furthering the dismantlement of traditional America.
The Floyd psychosis assisted the Left’s crusade by recasting conservatives and traditional Americans as “systemically racist.” Covid in turn assisted the Left in isolating conservatives as “science-denying anti-vaxxers,” and the Ukraine crisis is helping the ailing Biden administration in styling itself as mega-patriotic while skewering conservatives as pro-Putinist traitors and Russian shills.
Violence
In addition, it seems to me that these psychoses never catch on unless they involve a dark element of violence, destruction, and death. Like in all good mass-consumed entertainment gore is a necessity. Clearly, the Summer of George Floyd had provided the nation with much exciting violence; Covid had provided its own pound of flesh; the Ukraine war is well… a war.
Pre-existing Conditions
Finally, I believe that a great psychosis is always preceded by a similar, yet much smaller psychosis. With the exception, perhaps, of the Covid hysteria, there always seems to be a foretelling a few years before: The Ukraine psychosis was preceded by the Ukraine crisis of 2014; the Summer of George Floyd was preceded by the Winter of Travyon Martin and the Summer of Michael Brown; the January 6th hysteria was preceded by a few years of Russian collusion hysteria, not to mention constant Pride Boys fear porn.
In Search of the Next Psychosis
Thus armed with the noticeable patterns listed above, can we predict the next mass psychosis? What will be the next mega-storm to involve administrative growth-potential, leftist utility, violence, and that had already been manifested on a smaller scale?
My bet is on either the environment or something related to the Second Amendment. In scenario number one, we will see something like forest fires in California, as happens every year. However, this time it will be slightly worse, or it will only seem worse and will for sure involve several charred deaths. The perfect timing would be right before the Midterm Elections, but with enough time for a crisis to fully develop, so summer-fires make a lot of sense.
Try to imagine it, like Beyonce’s lyrics it doesn’t require too much thought: A climate emergency will be declared, the DOJ will establish a team of environmental-law experts to prosecute climate crimes, and the Left will excoriate embarrassed Republicans as being anti-science climate-deniers who hate the science and are obsessed with fossil fuels. Attempts to provide alternative perspectives will immediately be deleted from social media as “disinformation.”
The masked liberal women of yesteryear will now hang up “In This House We Believe in Climate Science!” signs, and concerned HR departments will organize special donation sessions for green causes while offering mental assistance to the overly concerned.
Another option might be an extremely bad school shooting, re-igniting the eternal leftist obsession with gun control. A one-time event though is not a great catalyst unless followed by riots and demonstrations as in the George Floyd case. So perhaps some sort of rolling event, a conspiracy of several frustrated youths, or a white student shooting black students exclusively, an event which surely will engulf the nation with hellish flames.
In such a case as well the sequence of hysterical reactions is easy to imagine: Republicans excoriated as child-killers, gun-toting-Walmart-shopping imbeciles; the DOJ convening a special team for the monitoring of gun-owners and “extremists”; a public-health emergency being declared; yard signs, hashtags, CEO confessionals, you know the drill.
Can such firestorms of psychosis be extinguished? I am not sure they can be, not while the Left is in control of all the means of public opinion and propaganda. But conservatives would do well to prepare in advance with the right arguments, or at least with a good bunker in which to hunker down.
or it will only seem worse and will for sure involve several charred deathsfrom a transgender teens of color summer camp.

This fits with the idea that vaxxers have accepted the state into their bodies and have become one with the state. They lack free will and distinct identity. They have no thoughts outside of what they get from the corporate media approved by the state.
Why do the "vaccinated" want a WAR with Russia, while the "unvaccinated" don't?
A poll in Canada confirms that those injections have made people more belligerent, which could have catastrophic consequences for us all
Why Anger towards the Unvaccinated was Intentional Psychological Manipulation
A look at a study from 2020 ...
You may have naively believed that the fear, pressure and psychological toll of the pandemic caused your friends, family or colleagues to act in an unrecognisable way but it was all carefully planned. They conducted a study (and I’m sure this wasn’t the only one) to see which pressure points would work best on different parts of the population and then carefully released mountains of propaganda (funded by you) to turn your friends and family against you. This nudging was all done to get you to take a vaccine you decided you didn’t want.
The ethics statement in the study says the experiments conducted were fielded under an exemption granted by the University. It’s not difficult to understand why.
Whether mass vaccination was the only way out of the pandemic or not, behaviourally nudging citizens to guilt each other into taking a novel treatment was not the way a civilised society should have acted.
They wanted you to get angry in order to get vaccinated but they failed. But they wanted you to get angry, so get angry. Get angry that the population was psychologically manipulated to turn on one another. Get angry that your friends and family were nudged into parroting the phrases used in the study to make you feel guilty, stupid or embarrassed. Get angry that you were socially ostracised and de-invited from events. Get angry that your colleagues made you lose your job. And if you were one of those who tried to convince someone to get vaccinated, get angry that you were so easily manipulated.

People are addicted to mass hysteria because it’s a way for them to funnel their very real anxieties, fears, sadness and neurotic behaviors into something relatable to other people. It doesn’t feel so lonely if everyone collectively loses their grip on reality together.

In which Bavarian Public Radio realises Ukrainians are uninterested in vaccination, and wary of the vaccinators
eugyppius
Mar 21
Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Public Radio) notices that Ukrainian refugees are overwhelmingly unvaccinated:
Only about a third of Ukrainians have been vaccinated against Corona, in part with vaccines that are unapproved in the EU. ...
“Many new arrivals are very worried about ‘forced vaccinations’,” adds Thomas Jung, Mayor of Fürth. He says you have to approach the topic with sensitivity. …
It’s been months of overt coercion to accept vaccination from politicians and the press here in the Federal Republic of Germany. Months of social exclusion and jeopardised careers and all the rest of it. Nobody has given the slightest thought to “sensitivity.” Why are they now at pains to accommodate the feelings of Ukrainians?
Jung explains that city officials pressed a Ukrainian doctor into service, to begin delicately preaching the Gospel of Vaccination to refugees last Friday. It’s rare, because the West is so totalising, but every now and then you get an idea of what it must be like to look into this funhouse from the outside. You flee a war-zone and end up sleeping on the floor of some repurposed gym, while the locals scheme madly about how to inject you with their latest mRNA tech.
Dear Ukrainians: You’re entirely right to be terrified of forced vaccination. We are too.
To me, this speaks to an incredible divide in western society today. We are not so much split between party lines as we are between compliant and non compliant citizens. There are those who instinctively question the commands coming on down from above from authority figures (we tend not to respect their credentials as a blanket appeal to our submission), and there are those who accept the government narrative, because they are under the impression that these authority figures are here to help us.
Supporting the Current Thing is encouraged by our leaders as a virtuous endeavor, and just like COVID Mania, there are perks attached to it. As with COVID Mania, it is much easier to adhere to the Ukraine narrative than to balk at it.
Not supporting a crippling sanctions regime on Russia, or arming neo fascist Ukrainian militias to the teeth, or even the imposition of a World War 3 level no fly zone over Ukraine, has become akin to being a bad person, and will sometimes even result in your labeling as a traitorous agent for a foreign regime. You don’t want to be a bad person, do you? The ruling class thinks it’s best for you to continue to support the Current Thing and leave independent thinking to your betters!
Thus, for example, someone who dies within 14 days of receiving a vaccine is deemed to be unvaccinated, nominally because the ‘effects’ of the vaccine do not fully kick in for two weeks, but really because this is an ideal way of laundering the mortality figures, since about half of vaccine deaths occur within a few days. If this seems confusing, it can be only because of an inability to enter into the logic of the pseudo-reality — a clinging to the ‘real’ even though this has been declared morally suspect. ...
As the process develops, the grey areas in the middle tend to disappear and a clear polarisation develops between those who believe in the pseudo-reality and those who continue to dissent. This renders real violence inevitable. Gulags, show trials, zero tolerance towards even minor dissenters, and other extreme symptoms of the twentieth-century model inevitably follow, though bearing different names, like ‘mandatory hotel quarantine,’ ‘naming and shaming,’ and ‘emergency measures.’
This process of creating a pseudo-reality is very similar to certain forms of religious adherence, and therefore works very well in societies in which a once ubiquitous religiosity is on the wane. ...
From the inside, this appears to be ‘normal,’ for there is nothing to alert the sufferer to the distortions he has entered into. He sees only the pseudo-reality, which is by now the only reality he knows. Those who remain outside are the strange ones, the ones to be regarded with suspicion and caution, and perhaps removed from society for the good of everyone, as in Justin Trudeau’s infamous question: ‘Do we tolerate these people?’ In this we can detect an answer to the perennial question as to how ‘good’ people become complicit in genocide.
In the description of these conditions, we can more readily see how ‘the unvaccinated’ become ‘the Untermenschen,’ how face masks function as Swastika lapel pins, how ‘green passes ’ become as Aryan ID papers. ...
Editors and journalist have learned that this new tendency can be manipulated. For example, they know that, to cover themselves, they can actually publish information that, of itself — in the old days — would have been sufficient to bring the whole thing to an end (for example, the truth about the PCR test or the trick of counting all deaths of people ‘with Covid’ — according to a PCR test! — as if they had died ‘of Covid’). Many people may read such a report and at first ask themselves if it might be true and, if so, why this revelation has not brought the whole thing to a halt. But then, watching the 9 o'clock news and seeing nothing about it, they assume that they must have misunderstood. ...
Most people by now require to know almost nothing factual about the virus, the vaccines or the reasons behind the suspension of human life for two years. Today, they may catch a headline on the front of a newspaper, and that is the sum total of their intelligence-gathering. The text underneath might be total gibberish (it would be an interesting experiment) and no one will notice. All that is important is that their neighbours remain convinced — or at least appear to remain convinced — that there is a serious crisis and that it shows no signs of abating. That is enough for them. ...
In this miasma, then, it does not matter that the lie is a lie: it has consequences as if it were the truth, and soon its adherents begin to think not in terms of truth or falsity but of what its power over them amounts to. They do not necessarily wear a mask because they are afraid of becoming ill, but because they fear even more the disapprobation of their neighbours. And this may happen at an unconscious level, so they would deny it if confronted, and thereafter continue denying it to themselves.
As one Washington, DC resident put it, “I guess I’m vaccinated so I don’t have to wear a mask outside, but I really don’t want people to think I’m a Republican.”
What people like The Atlantic’s Dana Stevens want others to think is that they care about the health and safety of others.
“Excuse me if I, like many of the people I see around me, am not yet quite ready to expose my lower face,” she wrote in a piece titled “Excuse Me If I’m Not Ready to Unmask.” “Putting aside the hard science for a moment, wearing a mask in public spaces—especially indoors, where transmission is more likely—serves a broader social purpose: It says to those around us that, whatever our vaccine status, we value community safety.”
That, in a nutshell, is why a surprising number of people—almost all of them liberals—are so hesitant to take off their masks. And why wouldn’t they? From the very beginning of the pandemic they have been told that mask-wearing was virtuous, selfless, and compassionate—in other words, everything every good liberal imagines themselves to be. And even better, they could literally wear this on their face for everyone else to see.
They could be walking “coexist” bumper stickers.
Bidenomics: a winter of blaming the non-compliant becomes a spring of blaming Putin
Anything to not take responsibility for government-imposed catastrophes.
Two years in, I am finally flooded from Covid. I can no longer sustain being a crazy Covid lady. And if, in my own myopic concern for myself and my family, I didn’t realize you were flooded too, I yelled at you for living your life and not wearing a mask, I’m sorry.
Fraudulent Fauci on a vaxx sales push again.
Patrick saysOops. Now they die.
When and how many?
WineHorror1 saysPatrick saysOops. Now they die.
When and how many?
We'll find out in a couple of years.
I personally do not believe the vaccinated are all going to die but we've all heard the rumors that everybody that was vaccinated will get an immunodeficiency but I just can't believe it because there would be so many people facing death in just a few years, they'd go crazy and start killing the people that did this to them - not unjustly I might add.
They're not all going to die, they just have a statistically higher chance of dying - which has already been demonstrated by the data, and that will add a certain amount of excess deaths each year.

So, I’m not asking anyone to come clean and admit you’re lying about masks, vaccines, elections, etc. Just stop lying. And stop trusting the US government, media, and the medical industry. They’re no different than that St. Louis automotive group that sells wrecked cars as new. They lie and cover up for profit. You have no need to protect them.
Vaccine Injury Denialism: A Modern-Day Semmelweis Reflex
The question has been asked in many forms, endlessly, earnestly, and incredulously, both before Covid, and at an accelerated rate after the release of the Covid shots.
“How can doctors not see what is happening?”
“Do you think all these doctors are in a conspiracy?”
“Why would all these doctors lie?”
Today on Twitter one doctor commented:
“I can't believe they did this. More than that, I can't believe the number of people who fervently and feverishly went along with it. My mind refuses to acknowledge this. There simply cannot be that many Satanistic people in this world. It's an interesting phenomenon to observe...”
The answer to all these queries is 175 years old. Decades before Sigmund Freud outlined “Denial” as a psychological defense mechanism, we saw The Semmelweis Reflex in action. It is a specific kind of defense mechanism seen in medical personnel when given unwelcomed information and evidence.
The mass denial of vaccine failure and vaccine injury is not a mass conspiracy, or an evil plot by all medical workers. It is simply one of the most basic psychological defense mechanism used by the human psyche, that the vaccine industry works very hard to feed.

Liberals defend their credentials which allow them to exploit those who don't have the same credentials. Credentials create monopolies, the ability to set high prices regardless of quality of service. It is a way to defeat free market competition.
The funding of universities depends entirely on the demand for their degrees, which they control. Their biggest horror would be a system where anyone could take tests to prove competence in a subject without paying for the years of classes and subjecting themselves to obedience to professors.
- Thomas Frank
Most of academia is less about learning than about paying for a paper proof of status and conformity. Non-conformists are expelled from schools, or failed out. Most teachers do not like their authority to be questioned. Bosses like the academic proof of conformity when they hire. The most "educated" are the most obedient.
Trump was a threat to their credentials and therefore a threat to their incomes and status.
The academic elite need a reason to hate those threatening themselves, therefore they use imaginary "racism", to which there is no defense. The accusation is the conviction.
Then they don't need to worry about the real class problem, which is independent of race. They would be uncomfortable looking at class, because they'd have to look at themselves and their unearned class privileges.
So their faith in the injection is faith in the "expert class" of which they are members, and they demand that the hoi polloi submit to it as an expression of the elite's power and prestige.
