WATCH: Understanding False Dichotomies
Kit Knightly joins Jerm for the Battle of Ideas
Jerm and Kit Knightly discuss how media—especially alternative media—shapes public opinion. They talk about journalists having ‘skin in the game,’ the impact of COVID-19 on media narratives, and the challenge of navigating misinformation and oversimplified political divides.
Kit shares lessons from the pandemic and how different countries varied in following or resisting media narratives. He covers the global rise of digital ID systems, growing societal divisions driven by political events, and people’s tendency to stick with familiar stories. Kit explores leadership, the public’s hope for saviours, and the balance between doubt and belief in people’s inherent goodness. They also discuss the establishment, media influence, and the need for critical thinking. Knightly reflects on COVID-19, predictive programming, and recurring societal patterns, stressing the importance of staying aware and sceptical.

False dichotomies like Alternative media and MSM!
False dichotomies Jesus and Mohammed.

In contradistinction with what Knightly implied, I believe that, as far as we can know through what history remains, the proletariat of Rome sincerely had much to weep about in the Assasination of Julius Caesar (cf Michael Parenti)
I want to object to this simple-minded categorical denigration of school.
I know that school teaches some wrong things. So what. Now you know what the wrong things are. You have added to your knowledge. And anyhow it is important to know what your opposition is saying. Why would you not want to be taught what your opposition is saying? How can you oppose them otherwise?
More to the point, I have lived my life, despite all the time I have spent in schools, surrounded by ignorant, uneducated people.
I prefer knowledgeable, educated people.
Even if they have been educated with false facts. At least they have been educated. They have a vocabulary. They know who fought in the wars and when Shakespeare lived and even the location of places like the Ivory Coast or Bangor, Maine. They can draw deductive conclusions. They can identify rhetorical fallacies. Some of them even know the difference between specific and general, abstract and concrete. I met an uneducated man recently who thinks his prostate resides inside his large intestine because of what the doctor’s examination entails.
I am all for reading, writing, and arithmetic. (And the hickory switch, too, but that’s another subject for another time.) I don’t care if what you read is wrong. At least you can read. And the same goes for writing and arithmetic. All this nyah nyah nyah-ing at school sounds like the sour grapes of children who were given C minuses.
The world is a better place full of cultivated, refined, educated people. Without doubt.
This is not to say that educated people were not the ones who bought into covid. They were, oh, yes, they were. So they are stupid educated people. All I can say is that, even though the working class were the main opposers of the covid thing, still, the real thinkers opposing it were highly educated. The highly educated ones were and are the ones delineating just what was wrong with it, where the proofs were, and how much harm the covid thing did.
At any rate, sitting around talking to ignorant people can be no fun unless you enjoy ridiculing people behind their backs.
False dichotomies – Labour and the Tories in the UK are virtually the same now, the only real difference is the colour of their rosettes – I’d imagine the same applies to the Republican party and the Democrats party in the USA – oh their might be a few different polices between them – but that’s about it – behind the scenes the Deep State continues regardless, no matter which party is in power – and we don’t get to vote on Deep State activities – we only get to vote face into power, which changes nothing.

Will be better to have an ironed shirt.
What?
I’ll have you know, Kit’s a paid up member of the Permanent Press.
They believe in forced evolution…. and a massive expansion of nuclear power is imminent….

Mad dogs and Russians hey?
Bloody hell, mad dogs, deadly submarines, AND Putin.
Those Ruskies are dangerous.
Thank god we’ve got the Empire of War, Greed and Hypocrisy to look after us.
Thanks for the positivity Kit. I agree that the media lie not only about what’s happening in the world but also in the impression they give that everyone believes them. Many – probably the majority- don’t.
‘Invisible threats’
Yep, that says a lot.
Fomenting and feeding fear is so much easier, and far more effective when ‘the enemy’ can’t be seen, touched or heard.
It’s worked for priests, politicians, Big pHarmer and even our parents: (“ The Boogey man will get you” or “ Father Christmas is watching”) for a long, long time.
I’m down to wearing the souls of my shoe out, used to be every 10 years, now its every 10 months.
Pending facts, rules based order Atlantic Anglo style.
J*ws bad, Musl*ms good, a woke meme.
USA MIC hegemony only explains its support for Ukraine and Israel.
Sorry woke folks, the MIC does NOT consist of J*ws, but of power mad Atlantic Anglos, but of your kind.
No one said it does, but, and it’s a big but, the Zionists DO have an enormous amount of influence in proportion to their population.
The facts are inviolable.
Ever heard of Abraham Flexner?
He was a Rockerfeller/Carnegie Tool:
‘The Foundations started a program of ranking medical schools. It gave high marks to schools for pill pushing and pharma promotion.’

I dont always uptick an opinion because i agree with it,
i dont always downtick an opinion because i think it stinks…
Big Tech is hoovering up every key-stroke i make on my PC
for AI to ‘profile’ me – so They can either sell me something,
arrest me for pre-crime, or even Wrongthink, and i’m trying
in a small way to not make it easy for Them…
(When They come for me, my defense will be “You’ve got
The Wrong Guy !”)
No-one is talking about this any more:
White fibrous clots found in 3-year-old child born to mother who was covid vaccinated while pregnant
Dr. Kevin McCairn is a systems neuroscientist who has been researching the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and its potential to cause prion-like conditions.
In April, Health Alliance Australia hosted a webinar where Dr. McCairn detailed his ongoing research and its implications for public health. He discussed the presence of amyloidogenic peptides (peptides are the building blocks of proteins) and prion-like particles in blood clots associated with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein bioweapon found in the virus and the covid “vaccines.”
Dr. McCairn’s analysis of the unusual fibrous white clots, retrieved from the deceased, shows them to be diseased, proteinaceous tissue, primarily misfolded fibrin that is highly amyloidogenic. His research indicates a potential global health crisis due to these misfolded proteins causing multi-organ dysfunction, neurodegeneration, cancer, heart disease and other health issues.
Impressive verbiage. I suppose a systems neuroscientist is one who descibes himself as such in his CV. Do ANY of the treatments for mental illnesses work as claimed?
Your alternative update on #COVID19 for 2025-06-11. Pull jabs – there’s no other explanation than fraud, corruption, ego, money. But it’s not science (blog, tweet, pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4).
I am very grateful to EVERYONE on this site for having shared information and insights from which I have learned SO MUCH!!!!
And there’s SO MUCH MORE to learn, like,

Thoughts whilst watching:
-Comment about the “soft chubby” middle class around the halfway point, I can see that. And I sadly have to admit that most of the people I know (myself included) are part of this class. On a global level, we are the affluent class and consequently we are the “pushover” class.
-I thought at the time that the media focussing on Ukraine was a rhetorical trick to try and make the official “Leftist” opposition look convincing again. And yes it was a “resurrection” of the quaint old “Cold War” tropes.
Many of us don’t have the time to watch videos. That’s why, of necessity, we prefer transcripts.
I have found that changing the speed of the video to X1.25 or X1.5 can help it along enormously – especially with the umms and oohs.
Watching videos can be problematic for people during working hours. That’s why transcripts are vital.
An evening course in quick reading, and a book is read in 5 minutes. You probably use 5 whole days.
You can’t transcribe the importance of certain guests, handwaving, special effects, etc.
At this level of the game we still playing games?
Bullshit Brian. Lt. Commander Brian Gerrish of the British Constitution Group.

Just as shilly control op as A.I Alex Jones trillion gazillon billion court case.
Lead by example that is what real journalists do.
Looking forward to your next appearance on RCR with Paul Brennan!
I’m so skeptical, when I first look in the mirror in the morning, I wonder whether I’m alive or dead. It usually takes an hour or so believe I finally believe I’m alive. Sometimes even longer.
correction: “before I finally believe I’m alive”. See, told ya.
You should count yourself lucky. The last time I looked in the mirror I couldn’t see my refection (True tale)

Next time insert the correct name because nobody goes by the name Thom CREW. Dumbass.
Meaning there is a double or triple of you ‘human’ machines around that name writing comments and commenting your own comments?
A correction needed to be made, Eric.
Eyes wide shut or Mirror Gazing Meditation?
Neither. I accepted the money. They never told me I would lose my soul (and reflection)
Kit, please get a better mic or something… Your audio quality is always poor, sounds like dial up days!
Well, look up there – besides one pound, there are 5 and 10, a custom amount.. We cannot just use the comment field and complain, the man is not a millionaire.. although he is quite liberal – “there is no real problem with immigration” and so on – and I can easily imagine how he wins the gilded favor of Soros if he wants to. But instead of choosing the broad path (which leads to perdition), even though it would have made his life easier, he chose to stay here, down with us, with the poor and neglected antivaxers who are counting their last pennies before the ominous digital digital concentration camp, and he work tirelessly for the ultimate success of the resistance, including of the conservative people (despite his liberal beliefs). As the saying goes, “Providing a better microphone for Kit to be better heard by his listeners is in the hands of the listeners themselves.” Move your hands!
Sound okay here in Southern Australia.
Even got to hear all of Kit’s ‘likes’:
A worldwide lexicological phenomenon that I too am sometimes guilty of.
Do you think we’re stick with it, because it can be very annoying?
😖stuck!
I thought I was the only one who cannot abide the like phenomenon.
I am afraid we are stuck. We have been for quite some time.
A child of the Valley Girls speak in the ’80s. Thank you, Hollywood.
It was astonishing to me when I began to hear “like” four times in a sentence on NPR radio.
It is part of the lexicon of under 50’s I would say.
But, like, don’t quote me. Like, that’s just my opinion.
(No aspersions on Kit. I haven’t heard the interview yet. And I love Kit’s writing.)
I wonder: A Fakebook plot to drive us boomers nuts?
The locution actually hails from the early 50s.
