Pacifying the Insane

Todd Hayen

Maybe using the word “insane” is overkill, but it makes a better title than using the word “troubled” or something equally innocuous. But maybe “Insane” actually might be the more accurate word to use because this article addresses people who willingly went along with the vaccine fiasco without a tinge of resistance or question. What more appropriate way to describe them?

And how are we pacifying these people? Well, maybe most of you folks reading this are not pacifying sheep, but I know I am. At first, I was the Chicken Little character (as I have mentioned several times in my articles). I was like the kid who overheard a conversation while I was hiding in the closet—a conversation between mom and dad when I was 5 years old: “Sending little Toddy to camp is the best thing for him, we will tell him it is only for a few days and he will have a great time with all of his new friends, but he will actually be there for 2 weeks.” Good lord, how deceiving is that??!! (Of course, my parents never did this, at least not that I know of.)

I started running around telling my sisters, my friends, and anyone who I bumped into that my parents were plotting to kill me. But no one listened. Everyone thought I was a tiny fool. Eventually, I tired of all the fuss and resigned to the horror and got on with it. That is where my analogy falls apart, as all analogies eventually do.

What is different from my story in the vaccine situation is that the “secret” my research revealed early on was that the vaccine was not all that it was trumped up to be (I HAD to use that word!). In fact, it was potentially deadly, and at the very least did not do what it was touted to do and could have serious side effects.

The response that my Chicken Little-self received from non-believers was harsh, toxic, ugly, and abusive. I was labelled all sorts of cruel things, and these attacks got so uncomfortable I gave up my ranting. This seemed a good choice with people who were not close to me. “Screw them,” I eventually said to myself. And although not a very Christian, nor human, way to be, I found myself resenting these people and figuring they were bringing on their own demise. They had ample warning. It is what it is.

This attitude did not work with close people—really close friends, and close family members, including my wife. I truly cared about these people, and no matter how caustic they were toward me when I would try to warn them, I kept at it. But even those earnest efforts dissipated over time. I still worried about them (and still do) but the counterattacks were so harsh it seemed that to keep the peace it was best to just let it go.

After all, they are all adults. They really should be able to put two and two together and see what is going on. I do have to say I admire the people who never have given up, and their spouses have left them, or family members have blocked them and won’t speak to them. But I am weak, and it was just easier for me to slip into denial and try to convince myself, “Well, maybe they got the placebo (6 times?), they will be ok.”

I recently ran into an article a friend on FB posted (a super shrew). Albeit showing up on Global Research, an outed “conspiracy theory” wasp’s nest of misinformation described by the CBC as:

Global Research, features a Canadian domain name and offers an ever-expanding collection of conspiracy theories, such as the myth that the 9/11 attacks and COVID-19 pandemic were both planned in order to control the population. The website also hosts articles experts have attributed to a Russian spy agency.

Yadda yadda.

I still thought it contained some rather sobering information that I would have liked my family and friends to have seen. I caught myself just in time before sending them the link, “No, no, no. This is not a good idea,” I said to myself. It was not found in one of the “trusted five” news sources, The Washington Post, The New York Times, NPR, The Guardian and The Atlantic. So, it would then be considered utter garbage.

And besides that. Why would I want to bring sorrow and regret, and even fear, into the lives of these people? My only incentive would be for my own personal vindication. For them to become aware that they had been injected with a poison that could very well kill them is not an awareness I really feel does anyone much good after the horse is out of the barn. And of course, all of this is contingent on them even reading and believing it, which they definitely would not do.

This approach is akin to doctors in days of old not informing terminal patients of their impending death. It does seem to be the human thing to do, although due to modern ethics, it is no longer practiced. How about treating an insane person passively? “Now, now dear, just relax, all is fine, don’t fret.” That, or something like it, is still an acceptable way to deal with someone who just doesn’t have the cognitive capacity to process complex information. “Don’t let granny know she is suffering from dementia, don’t argue with her, just go along with her. It is best not to get her upset.”

I think this most accurately describes what I am finding myself doing with friends and family. I don’t necessarily agree with them when they tell me that, for example, Biden (POTUS) is “doing the best he can,” or “has good intentions, and means well,” etc. But I just don’t argue with them.

A family member the other day got frustrated with the implication she observed in me that it wasn’t a good thing to just waltz into a world of CBDCs, UBIs, and digital IDs. She said, “Why can’t people just stop talking about all of this and just live their lives.” And I responded, “Because we are headed into a world of global fascism that will make our freedom-less life miserable and unlivable?” That wasn’t a good thing to say. Eyes rolled, and the usual other huffs and puffs ensued. “Yes, dear, whatever you say,” would have been more appropriate for the situation.

Pacifying.

But even this tactic of avoiding major conflict is disconcerting. I do have to mix it with a dollop of denial, as explained above, to make it work for me. Maybe it is easier because, like the guy’s realization who is standing on the railroad track, facing the oncoming train, shaking the shoulders of the people facing the other way, that he too will be taken out by the train.

There doesn’t seem to be much point or consolation informing people who are floating carelessly on their cloud of denial that they are about to be destroyed by a speeding train. Particularly if you are most likely going down with them.

That was cheery.🤔 Do your friends & family know you write for OG? Nothing pacifying about that. Also, if you’re honest, don’t you like and care about these people a bit less now? Perhaps a lot less? If so, maybe the kid gloves serve no purpose now, the relationships already degraded.

Isn’t there something truly repellent about their thoughtless, unapologetic embrace of the pushy, despotic herd beliefs that have wrought so much harm?

We’re not dogs. Esteem and affection are conditional among humans. Push came to shove here and most were found wanting. Such dramatic occasions for character reveals don’t happen in every lifetime, and you’ve done more than most to sound the alarm, man your Beacon of Gondor. No need to publicly disparage yourself.

I see it as people who enjoy movies with special effects, some are more convincing than others, but nevertheless once you see and understand how those effects are created you never believe them to be real ever again.
Some people just aren’t interested in the mechanics or technology behind it, and just go along with the spectacle put before them, then deride you for pointing out “but it’s not real, and the effects weren’t that impressive”
People can get upset when you shatter their illusions.

the u.k’s agent of Infectious disease and arch miscreant, Neil Fergusson, in an interview with the times in 2020, said, that “copying chinas lockdown policies at the start of 2020, changed the parameters of what Western societies consider acceptable” that when SAGE observed the “innovative intervention” out of China, of locking entire communities down and not permitting them to leave their homes, they initially presumed it would not be an available option in a liberal Western democracy: “It’s a communist one party state, we said.

Thinking outside of mainstream parameters here: What if reality including the people around us in our world are not what we are led to believe? We could explore ideas about why some of us seem so at odds with so many people around us who seem like they have no common sense or critical thinking e.g. the plandemic. For instance, what if the people who think the following idea are closer to the truth? That the nature of reality is that we are surrounded by NPCs/archons/djinns (to misdirect us and feed on our energy etc)? So this idea could mean that not only strangers, associates, colleagues could be NPCs but also people close to us like some of our friends and family even our husband/wife could be? The idea of NPCs is not a charming idea but it should at the very least be explored I haven’t come to any… Read more »

thank you Todd. This is so spot on for me. I tried to warn my nearest and dearest of the vaccine. They ignored me and took it and now have consequences and all I can do at this point is say “I’m sorry” every time they get sick. They did wake up and not take anymore shots but continue to believe that it was life saving for their partner to get the first shot. Tried to suggest protocols for vaccine injuries and they were insulted that I even suggested that. I do recognize that I might as a psychotherapist who continued to see people in person throughout COVID, been shed on multiple times and so have been doing the protocol myself so that I don’t get hit by the same train but recognize there are multiple trains coming at us.

Great essay Dr. Todd, it reminds my of Cassandra of Greek Mythology–she is given the gift of seeing the future and then given a curse that no one would believe her.
She was a Chicken Little who was dead right.
My theory on the Blind+Deaf:
1)They are the product (though they don’t realize it)
2)They cannot recognize evil

That is the ultimate conspiracy–that there are evil people who hate us for no reason.
Once you accept this–the scales fall from the eyes.
For the Blind+Deaf to accept this is scary they’d rather remain delusional.
Poor Cassandra knew that Troy would fall and it did.

You can find your self thinking your some higher being (chosen) better than the rest and names like sheeple which is no different than them calling us useless eaters.

Have some understanding in the high level propaganda effect that has gone in to keeping people hypnotized.

I do not speak of sheep as anything more or less than they are, I do not wish them harm, I do not think they are “useless” (so I don’t agree calling them “sheep” is the same as them calling us “useless eaters.”) It is a term of identification, and mostly used as a “tongue in cheek” reference. I love sheep. Some of the people I love the most are sheep. I do not wish them harm in any way.

I AM angry with them, I AM disappointed, and I believe that their “ways” and their lack of thinking will more than likely destroy all of us. But they are my brothers and sisters, and I love them equally.

Some people are more instinctive than others. I noticed that from the start and usually they were the “less educated”. Education seems to drive instinct out of people. My “educated” friends proceeded to pile on to ridicule and belittle me. Why was I being so ignorant? Why did I have the gall to question the experts? What did I know? How stupid and ridiculous I was being. In the end I became more brazen and defiant and shoved the truth down their throat at every opportunity. Maybe not the best tactic. I read through some of those posts now and I do appear to come across as arrogant but nothing of what I said was incorrect. We are living in a kind of limbo land now everyone is feeling it I think.

One way to try and understand those who still follow the covid tale is for me to look at my own life and imagine I hadn’t tuned into sites like OffG which have provided an indispensable role in connecting with alternate opinions and investigations.   Admittedly this is difficult since it was OffG who predicted the vast barrage of fear porn that was about to erupt back in 2020 and not only warned against submitting to it but made the astute observation that rational discourse would prove futile in the coming months – which tuned out to be years.   Another vital part of this is to assume that I never questioned 9/11 since I have little doubt that those who did would have been at the forefront of covid sceptics.   My imagined naive self would definitely have noted the fear mongering.

So I wound up split between music and the above. I’m happy to be able to say we broke the allopathic paradigm by the late 90s, and put it into practice both in a semi-permanent situation in England which lasted a decade, and at the Glastonbury Festival 1990 as the Alternative Medicine outfit and subsequent international rainbow gatherings, (nothing to do with the woke sleepwalkers) because I realised that if we were able control the ‘medical thoughtform’ in the empty spaces at the edge of national borders where the gatherings were generally held, we could do stuff which broke most if not all of the rules.

There will be times that you’re going to feel like there is ‘no-hope’ … don’t. If you adopt that sort of feeling then it means that you’re submitting, which is what the swamp-creatures want, and might even be expecting. Be the change you want because those around you might need the role-model that you will reflect. Cheers!
Just remember that you have had the intestinal fortitude to overcome, thus far, a billion$$$ propaganda barrage and need to prep for the obligatory next onslaught which might be more dictatorially enforced … but you will, because you are YOU.

A former colleague of mine (MD) admitted to me (a former MD, who resigned because of convid) that in retrospect, the covidiots were right and that she felt sorry to go along with all the nonsense and mandates and did as if covid was a health problem. She said sorry to me, and felt bad for me, because I took a stand and showed backbone, that I had to resign from a job that I did for years and loved to do. It’s an excuse and I am happy that she admitted this to me. Yet it is not a full excuse since she is still participating in the madness (still an MD) and doesn’t dare to call out amongst her colleagues what she called out to me.

Yes, I do know someone who will not get any more shots. (Had one) I don’t know what changed that person’s mind.

It is very very difficult indeed to have watched the terrible injury and death over the past 3 years and KNOW it’s injection related and not scream from the rooftops. I know, I know, we SHOULD scream from the rooftop, but in the moment, when I am standing with family and friends of dead and injured, I am not going to point out the reason.

So well said. In looking back to the beginning, I wish I had voiced very loudly to my family my concerns about the vaccine. In the early days, reading and watching the experts who were discussing the possible harms of the shot, I was pretty convinced of the danger. I did send my family and friends this information but it was considered by them to be crazy. I was surprised that they did not ask questions about the information I had sent to discuss further, but they were very defensive. I backed off because I do not normally push my beliefs on others…none of my business. However, in hindsight I so wish I had made a pest of myself with this…now there is no point. I actually don’t want my loved ones to realize what is happening as far as possible vaccine harm.

Not one thought for people who lost jobs, homes, perhaps their kids, to this enforced idiocy out of a bunch of people who are known liars, or at least known liars before the covidiocy.

It might be better to think of the long game and just try and plant a few seeds of truth and hope that some of them grow inside of others. Meanwhile, it’s probably not your responsibility to bang your head against a wall of ignorance or ignorant people. It seems likely that a lot of adults aren’t adults on the inside; they are children who want the AUTHORITIES to be their parents forever instead of taking personal reaponsibility for themselves and their choices. Why else would they trust the authorities?

my own view is not greatly optimistic, i would argue the majority of people are bombarded from cradle to grave with state sponsored media to the point that they do not know any different and are also unable to think any differently. Waking them up when they are subjected to that kind of mind control is probably for many people is not going to happen. This is also seen when many people publicize state sponsored campaigns on social media, Ukraine, jabs, masks, lock-downs, isreal flags, BLM protests etc. Ask one why they support Ukraine, when it boils down to it its because they were told to do so.

Good advice from Debi,

There is only one choice, as I see it: disable the One App to Bind Them All, refuse to rely on algorithms, get rid of smart devices that tell you how you are, decline to be directed by a spy phone. Look in the mirror instead: do you look okay? Are you eating, drinking, peeing and pooing? Do you know what day of the week it is and do you consider yourself fairly healthy? If there are no outward signs or symptoms of any illness, presume you are fine and should get on with your life. Ditch the device, ditch the app and ditch the paranoia. After all, whose body is it anyway?

Don’t have that problem myself. All my family and friends are on the same page. But, hell, it’s like the people who vote for Biden or Trump. They bring us all down by participating in the fraud. There’s a lot of em too. But maybe, just maybe, we’re on an upward trajectory. When I think back to the 40’s and 50’s, look at the sheeple acquiescence back then. Then the 60’s kind of jump started the possibilities of modern reality. I can see a progression of the knowledge of reality seeping in, and an ominous crack in the armor of the elite, which is building. But what to do about the fucking sheep?

Psychological analysis of why people think and act as they do and often ignore or refuse to acknowledge reality is instructive but goes only so far. The connection between those altered individual psychological states to actual policies need more social outlook. David Hume in his genius wrote paraphrasing: “if reason turns against man soon man turns against reason.” Interestingly, Hume more or less referred to two groups of man/people, One with near absolute power and those nearly powerless. It is clear why elites may turn against reason, As if reason stands between them and more power they quickly turn against reason and create their own reason based on goal seeking subjective reasoning Horkheimer specifically attributed to Nazis but definitely is applicable to any present and past elites. Contemporary elites, all kind of elites political, social, economic, cultural or academic/professional are also subject to the same Hume’s “Law”. Sadly Hume was… Read more »

I can relate to the pain of rebuke, but I also understand the problem will only get worse if not addressed. I was raised in a family where my father was considered the “black sheep” of the family, when his brothers tried to “convert” him back to the “faith” he would bring out his Bible and show them their errors. So this probably helped fuel a detachment from physical family. Iv’e learned a lesson from it that is helping immensely, trust Our Creator, he defined the laws that govern spiritual and physical laws and he uses people to declare things to the world. Wisdom needs to be used in the crowd you are in. I hope you don’t hoist a white flag.

Unfortunately some people listened to their Drs who they trust blindly. Those same Drs who were compromised and complicit to the insanity that went on. Let’s remember the role of the medical professionals played during this mess and lay off the general public a little. They were ripe for the picking. Most thought they were doing the right thing at the time. I know a lot of people nowadays express some doubt about what went on but they’ve got lots and lots of bills to pay. That’s where they really have us and and where they can turn the screws on tight enough to keep us busy.

This is such a good point. Just about everyone everywhere appeared to support getting the vaccine…and all the doctors I knew of encouraged this…it is not necessarily being sheep-like to follow professional advice.

What we need to strive for, to keep ourselves human, is to act with compassion. If consolation is the true motivation, you are likely on the right path. I mean, for instance, not telling the person who has severe dementia that they have an incurable condition, because what can they, or you, or anyone, do about it? Or, even more tragically reminding the person in just the early stages of dementia who can still sort of grasp what you mean of their condition — I have a friend in this situation. But what about trying to “wake up” someone, particularly someone you care about, about a situation they need to face, either to help change the situation if possible or prepare to face it and deal with it in the best possible way? How do you know what is right to do and say? You don’t. That is why your… Read more »

That is the problem. They are NOT adults.

No questions asked. They are the PARENT, we are the CHILD.

Those of us who question, research and decide on our own are the ADULTS in the room. Until Humanity as a whole and individuals in general disengage from the tyranny of the “leader” class running things through oligarchy and command decision making, we are doomed.

No. They are “adults.” Not everyone is capable of thinking critically, or making reasoned decisions; they just aren’t, and even many of those few who are are not going to come to the same conclusions that you have. Some people are simply stupid, and regardless of IQ, most people need and want leaders. Others, while having high “IQ” have no common sense. What you advocate will NEVER happen. Unless, of course, you and yours decide to make decisions for those who you deem children, for their “best interests,” at which point you become the “leaders” that you decry.

You’ve arbitrarily picked a side, probably because it appeals to you that Researcher is a woman, doesn’t say fuck, shit, motherfucker, cunt, and other words from the lexis you’ve been instructed to consider offensive, and no argument, no fact, nothing will change your position. You’re on an autopilot now and whatever this Researcher says, you’ll swallow and ask for more. If you had an iota of brain, you’d see that a) Researcher’s rants are just about completely devoid of substantiated facts and b) that she is rabidly rigid about the paranoid horseshit she peddles. Not good, not good. Despite vehemently accusing others of being paid shills, it’s actually her who comes across as one. How?

Imbecile, it’s irrelevant whether so-called fossil fuels are fossil or something else. What’s relevant is that their supply is being exhausted and the ramifications thereof.

I do understand that it’s too much for your bird brain to handle, but stop calling others liers just because you’re too fucking stupid to understand what’s going on.

Supply is being depleted, some wells are exhausted. Low-hanging-fruit cheap oil is a thing of the past.

Supply is very likely being replenished. It matters not whether biotic or abiotic. What matters is that extraction by far exceeds whatever replenishment might be taking place.

In other words, the shit is running out, about the leave humanity, which is totally dependent on oil/gas, up the fucking creek with no fucking paddle.

There is a reason behind the renewables craze, even though renewable cannot provide a solution.

No amount of denial and wishful thinking and delusional hallucinations will do anything about this. Gotta slow down, downsize, and get ready for a slow return to or the caves or up the trees (select your preferred option).

Eventually you’re going to have to be okay with continuing to speak up and deal with the consequences with at least some of these people, or else you sacrifice a part of yourself because I suspect you know that things are only going to get worse and crazier. Toughest issue would be with your wife, of course, but “protecting” adults in this way is just not good for anyone. Stay away from them as much as possible rather than placate denial.

For over a century, the dominant and state-enforced religion in the Westernised world has been Medical Materialism; and vaccination is it’s main sacrament. William James described Medical Materialism in The Varieties of Religious Experience – where he also wrote about the tribal, stone-throwing mobs. And G.K. Chesterton warned of the dangers, stating: The thing that really is trying to tyrannise through government is Science. The thing that really does use the secular arm is Science. And the creed that really is levying tithes and capturing schools, the creed that really is enforced by fine and imprisonment, the creed that really is proclaimed not in sermons but in statutes, and spread not by pilgrims but by policemen—that creed is the great but disputed system of thought which began with Evolution and has ended in Eugenics. Materialism is really our established Church; for the Government will really help it to persecute its… Read more »

Also in Eugenics and Other Evils, Chesterton warned of the Trojan horse; namely, the notion of the “health expert”. The problem now is that almost the entire population of the Westernised world has been bribed and conditioned to the extent that they can’t even comprehend the argument – that the concept of “Public Health” is a highly dangerous absurdity. As a consequence, humanity is being crushed by the totalitarian, collectivist atrocity; while self-professed “health experts” assert that if we were only to turn the clock back a few years, it would all be hunky dory again. BTW: Chesterton was right to say that “experts can only arise out of exceptional things”, but wrong to say that it’s possible to have an expert on madness. One reason why he’s wrong on the latter is that madness is not at all exceptional. Rather, it’s the norm! Also, it’s possible to be an… Read more »

Arrah, I love people. Won’t stop me from from pointing this madness out and trying to explain it, somehow. It is so beyond understanding in normal life. There’s a great word ‘kunlangeta’ used to describe basically a sociopath by the Yupik Eskimo fellows. The two links are behind paywalls but your man quotes both on his substack. We’ve a sociopathic problem. “Psychopaths are as old as Cain, and they are believed to exist in all cultures, although they are more prevalent in individualistic societies in the West. The Yupik Eskimos use the term kunlangeta to describe a man who repeatedly lies, cheats, steals, and takes sexual advantage of women, according to a 1976 study by Jane M. Murphy, an anthropologist then at Harvard University. She asked an Eskimo what the group would typically do with a kunlangeta, and he replied, “Somebody would have pushed him off the ice when nobody… Read more »

I’m now thinking it’s far worse than we think. Our leaders are either involved in this NWO or they are terrified. Governments are puppet shows and only act when their strings are pulled. Money is running the show, big money at that. Not some little bank but central bankers.
Massive depopulation and total dystopian control is the aim. Its all there in black and white if you look.

““Insane” … people who willingly went along with the vaccine fiasco without a tinge of resistance or question. What more appropriate way to describe them?” Most of my friends and relatives belong to that category. They hold more responsible jobs than I do; many have PhD degrees in “hard science”: physics, engineering, and biology. and medecine. Some have degrees in “soft science”: medicine and psychology. None are remotely likely to be diagnosed as clinically insane; whereas I have been called “mad” more than once in my lifetime. Yet they are all staunch Believers in Con-19. I suggest better word to describe such behaviour: “Social” (from the Latin, sociare “unite with,” from socius “companion, ally”). As in “Society for the Study of Social Insects”; the most ancient and most successful of societies are those formed by ants and bees. My mentor, Prof.Robert Harkness, was fond of quoting: “Go to the ant,… Read more »

See David Icke’s words at the top of the item at the link below.

“Catching ‘covid’ has made people less intelligent – with severe infections reducing IQ the most, new study suggests. No, no. If they believe they have caught a ‘virus’ that doesn’t exist, that is evidence of a pre-existing condition of a reduced IQ”, at:

More important than the first sentence of that “study” is its provenance:

“Scientists from Imperial College London analysed data on more than 112,000 volunteers who took Covid tests during the pandemic.
Analysis revealed that those who were admitted to intensive care with Covid scored around nine IQ points lower on average in exams than those who avoided infection.”

Covid-19 “scientists” from Imperial College London are famous for their “mathematical model” which “predicted” precisely what the Westminster regime wants the sheeple to believe ie, predicted that Covid-19 would kill millions in Britain: false.

Their lives are based in fear, and that primarily includes the fear of standing out by thinking for oneself. Insane may be the outcome of many years of deep denial, but the reality is that it is ‘self-protection’ within the group and it really won’t matter how disconnected from truth these people are because the society as a whole is totally disconnected from truth & principles and is sick. It’s all fear-based and the only way I can agree with ‘insane’ as an appropriate label is to offer that the society is effectively insane by being collectively suicidal.

I do not know your friends, but I can say for sure that most of the ‘science’ they learned was theoretical dogma, and that their jobs are for companies and institutions who are very much a part of the problem. They have done well out of this system, most will not bite the hand that feeds. Their lives (financial comfort), those of their family, and their future, depends on them not stepping out of line. I have an incredibly intelligent and educated aunt, yet she does not believe in a single conspiracy theory and fully backs all of the main narratives. She has worked for the government her whole life. Such people tend to be atheists, they are not spiritual at all. For the spiritual know there is more than this life, and its trinkets.

Everyone is ready for different truths at different stages of their lives. I hold the pragmatic opinion that if all 18 year olds knew the truth, very few of them would ever bother to breed. I learned this lesson about being ready for different truths when I knew someone who had experienced fairly awful things in her country of birth, Algeria, but had found a better life in Europe. To her, seeing the truth about family members was something she had to face up to young, so she was bemused about my need to see the best in my own family. I learned several years later that her view on certain things were right and my hopes were delusions. But at the time, I wasn’t ready to face them. In a much more minor way, I also knew a Vietnamese who escaped the horrors of his country on a boat… Read more »

I too was surprised by OffG’s limited reference to NATZO’s crucifixion of Ukraine, and to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. But OffG is after bigger game: Global Conspiracy, where “they’re all in it together”: WEF, WHO, UN, U$, EU, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

OffG bangs on Con-19 because it is the biggest drum in a Global Conspiracy; Plutocrats vs Humanity. Whereas Ukraine and Palestine are mere local fractures in a messy collision between a declining EU$A and a rising RoW (Rest of the World).

There is huge suffering in many places. I wish I could stop it all. But I do believe that Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, Iran, Syria, as horrible as the suffering is, is still just smoke and mirrors. It’s all created. All wars are created. Someone is profiting in more ways than one. Right now I think that there is attention being brought to all of these wars to the intentional exclusion of the mass murder and injury, in so many ways, that has been wrought the past four years because of the contrived pandemic and its aftermath.

The key is that those who trust(ed) the system and the establishment succumbed more easily to the propaganda. There is also socio-economic element to this. Those who have benefitted most from the system economically speaking are far more likely to trust it. Of course, there are exemptions to this, but it is my belief that the exemptions who live successfully within the system – where success is measured in financial and economic terms – had an ‘awakening’ at some point in their lives. Whether it be a major geo-political event (eg 9/11) or something personal in their lives, such as at the workplace or other life event(s) that caused them to question and doubt the system. Those who still trust the system do so for two general reasons. First, they consider themselves ‘winners’ within it and therefore have confidence in it. Second, to recognise that there are people they trust(ed)… Read more »

Sure, we don’t want them to overly despair and turn their world upside down, it needs to be done slowly and carefully, but if we don’t gradually educate them it means that we have left them to the wolves. The evil bastards will have won.
