Hit this one out of several ballparks. My oldest, a nurse and 39 now told me “I should have had you arrested” during Covid. Why? I paid zero attention to the Covid scam and lived my life normally. And took my grandkids with me every day. They were NOT gonna think that was right or normal. Her children. With her permission. She and I don’t speak since she uttered those words, after the scam ended. I lost a child and my grands. Temporarily. Almost grown up now. But, it all happened because of that scam and my ABSOLUTE REFUSAL as a living human to live in a government imposed cage for even half a second of my life. I had the mountains all to myself to hike. And we used them. There were idiots at altitude with masks on. On a mountain lookout. You had to CLIMB to get there. To all that fresh NH mountaintop air. I have that pic if you ever want to see it. The mass onset of mental illness was fast and deep. And it’s still there. We missed our granddaughters graduation. And will miss our grandsons, also.
My babies are fine. Just not quite old enough to make their own decisions. But old enough to remember that nightmare and being with grandpa and I every day being wholly alive!!
Had the same reaction from my daughter in-law. My speaks to me, but gran kids are in the distant past. People refuse to accept making mistakes and learn nothing and will except the next government agenda when it comes along. Not sure what the answer is, they sure don't want to talk about it. Good luck.
I suggest you learn from what many whom are being scapegoated (world Indigenous, etc.) have learned about the situation. And it isn't limited to which figurehead is in power.
They cannot talk about it Dave. They cannot face up to what they have done. It’s pretty epic. What was done to others I know is simply unforgivable. It’s hard.
I live in lockdown VT just across the border to the West of Littleton NH. I'm a Boomer and the boomers are the craziest. My sister would have loved force injections for all and concentration camps for refuseniks. We don't talk much, but I'd bet she's still wearing a mask. Well after the Covid was proved BS, my town was debating extending mask mandates. I wrote to my selectman and told him that would be fine with me, I would be glad to continue doing all my business and recreating in NH. The mask mandate was dropped.
No shortage of pedos up here either. But it is not Mass. I’m WAY up North. Gods country. Where there are no cops and you don’t want the townsfolk to find out you touch kids. Lots of wilderness hereabouts. And it is Portland that throws elections up here. Steals them. Not many libs past Portland.
Well, i think there's a 'meta-game' for why so many who SEEM LIKE idiots, wore masks like that, and i think it comes back to this Coward's Bargain thing.
I think that their actual reasoning is more about herd-thinking and "Public Relations" and how the inter-netting of daily life has infiltrated their lives to the core. Thus, if they're, say, a public official seen without a mask (in certain groupings), they can lose socially. They can lose professionally. They can experience all kinds of difficulties that their 'Rollback Generation' has been ENGINEERED to be STUCK in. Unable to escape the many tentacles of control! Or so they've been programmed to BELIEVE!!
Thinking of Christopher Simpson's book "THE SCIENCE OF COERCION". And N.Chomsky. And Harriet A. Washington. And a host of others, mostly whistleblowers leading.
It’s a pack mentality. Also an astonishing (to me) need to be one of the IN crowd. At any cost. Virtue signaling is also a major issue. I will openly mock virtue signalers. I can’t help it. And lose? Nah. I left a 200k a year job. Told them to pound sand. I don’t do masks and medical advice by my service manager. Got a better job. Found a shop where they locked the mask monsters out and unlocked the back door for the sane ones. It was a time that literally sorted the sane from the insane for us openly.
I was so trusting in my government I took the poison without hesitation I never heard anything bad, no word of a lie, I only watched the news. Until the truckers then I found out they poisoned me and my whole family! I wish to god I knew because believe me I have the biggest mouth around and I will NEVER shut up about what they have done! What are you scared of? They’re going to kill you so STAND UP COWARDS! As god as my witness I will go down screaming, why not to late for my family. My sister is almost dead from the poison, so her whole family is also destroyed! So if you care anything about your family SHOUT it out! I will never SHUT UP you poisoned my grandchildren! My god what else is there but your family? Nothing!
I think it's all about propaganda. The information you're exposed to is different from the information others, like these folks you call cowards, are exposed to. You are surrounded by a culture that moves you, just as they, but with different priorities. But the bottom line is, as far as i can see it, one about KEEPING ALL DIVIDED and unable to empathize with each other. Why? Because that's the bottom line ideology of statecraft. An informative demystification on this can be had by reading Noam Chomsky's "best" speech: "MEDIA CONTROL: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda". Tho the original speech is best, the book at least allows for his main points!
"I don't share my opinions because I "get away with it"—I don't get away with anything. I've paid socially, professionally, and even financially. But I do it anyway because the alternative is spiritual death." 100%
THANK YOU for so insightfully and eloquently articulating what I (and probably many others who read your excellent Substack) have felt and experienced.
"These days, friends are starting to confide in me that maybe I was right about the mRNA vaccines not working. I don't gloat—in fact, I appreciate the openness. But my standard reply is that they're four years late to the story." Unfortunately, this has not been my experience...Most of my family and (former) friends have refused and still refuse to consider anything I have said/written about the inherently dangerous true nature of the mRNA shots...
The mRNA shots were/are always going to be an immunological catastrophe for humanity.
Thank you to all the brave doctors & scientists and all the people of the world with curiosity, integrity, and strength of character who have risked so much to get this info out into the world.
The primary danger of the COVID-19 mRNA injections has always been one’s own immune system’s attack response by the mighty CD8+ Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte cells (AKA Killer T-cells):
The COVID-19 mRNA injections must be recalled from the market and mRNA-based products must be banned because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.
These modified mRNA-LNP COVID-19 injections, that trigger one's own immune system to attack & kill one's own formerly healthy cells (that have been instructed to produce/express foreign, non-self proteins), no matter where those cells are in the body, never should have been made available to the public in the first place.
When the (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA transfects one's cells, and gives instructions for the ribosomes to make & express foreign non-self proteins (such as the toxic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein), one's immune system sends the CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to kill those formerly healthy cells that are now making & expressing non-self proteins.
It is the mission of these CD8+ CTLs to seek out and destroy any such transfected cell that is making foreign non-self proteins. That’s what they do…
Due to the biodistribution properties of the lipid nanoparticles, the encased modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain and placental barriers...The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing. The reason is, our bodies are protected by being able to distinguish ourselves from things that shouldn't be there. Anything non-self will trigger immune destruction of the cells & tissues involved.
Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations. Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if the expression is in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers)…
And more…
There's no limit to the horrible consequences of injecting into your body something that triggers your own immune system to attack & kill your own formerly healthy cells & tissues.
The public “health” agencies, the COVID “authorities”, & the “mainstream” media fraudulently marketed these experimental mRNA gene “therapy” products as “safe & effective vaccines”. Trusting people thought that they were being presented with the choice (or the mandate) as to whether or not to take a “safe & effective vaccine”…But that was/is a deceptively false “choice”…
The COVID-19 mRNA injections are NOT safe, they are NOT effective, and they are NOT vaccines.
These modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the fraudulent mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
NO ONE should have ever had the “choice” of taking these gene “therapy” injections because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells and instructs those cells to produce foreign non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues (the role of the Killer T-cells is to monitor ALL the cells of the body, ready to destroy/kill any that express foreign, non-self proteins). This makes EVERY mRNA-based injected product harmful by design.
No one who took these modified mRNA-LNP COVID injections made an informed decision. Most people had no clue about what they allowed to be injected into their bodies...
Also most people still do not understand that the devastating harms inflicted upon people over the last few years was intentional:
AFTER the mighty CD8+ Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte cells (AKA Killer T-cells) attack response to modified mRNA transfected cells of tissues & organs inside your body:
After the primary immune system attack response by the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), resulting in varying degrees of tissue damage & pathology in different people, a lot happens...
The CTLs will not be able to kill every cell making non-self (spike) protein, so some amount of foreign (spike) protein will get made & released from your cells. That amount will also vary from person to person.
Specialized cells called antigen-presenting cells, especially dendritic cells and macrophages, spring into action. Long story short…you will get serum antibodies made against those foreign proteins which is the stated goal of any shot called a vaccine.
But that can take up to 2 weeks, and during that time, the foreign non-self (spike) proteins are biologically active and will attach to various cellular receptors, resulting in a whole new level of possible tissue destruction.
Now your immune system will activate macrophages & neutrophils that will kill THOSE cells through inflammatory pathways, regardless of whether or not the non-self proteins are toxic themselves.
And if the non-self proteins ARE toxic, like the pathogenic spike proteins, they can cause problems like tissue damage all by themselves without your immune system even being involved at that point.
But your adaptive immune system has done its job & you've made your serum antibodies by now! Yippee!
Too bad those (non-neutralizing, leaky) serum antibodies can only REACT to a (SARS-CoV-2) infection...it is biologically impossible for serum antibodies (in the blood) to PREVENT respiratory infections that enter the body through the mucosa of the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes.
To PREVENT respiratory infections requires a strong innate immune system with mucosal immunity and secretory IgA to stop the respiratory infection at the mucosal and epithelial barriers (stopping the infection OUTSIDE your body and PREVENTING the infection from getting INSIDE your body).
And this is also where the CTLs are supposed to do their cell-destroying activities. When epithelial cells in the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes are infected (like can happen with respiratory diseases) the Killer T-cells will kill those infected cells.
Epithelial cells at the epithelial barrier can be quickly replaced, usually in just a few days in most people. But injections bypass your body's natural protections and send their payload into your body, where that payload can enter your lymph system and bloodstream.
And in the case of the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections, this can be disastrous, starting with the immune system attack response against transfected cells of tissues & organs (INSIDE your body) that are now making foreign non-self proteins.
Replacing cells from now damaged tissues and organs inside your body is a complex process that can take weeks or longer, with some areas unable to be repaired at all.
The modification of natural mRNA with synthetic n1-methyl pseudouridine made the modified mRNA longer lasting and resistant to the body’s natural breakdown processes. A Nobel Prize was awarded specifically for this use of longer lasting pseudouridine in the COVID modified mRNA injections.
The synthetic pseudouridine modified mRNA is causing a +1 ribosomal frameshift, as well as a reverse reading, so some people may make spike proteins AND mystery (or junk) non-self proteins.
Studies have found that an antibody subclass switch to IgG4 can occur between mRNA shot #2 & #3, which is sending a stand-down signal to the immune system, essentially telling the immune system to tolerate and ignore the (toxic pathogenic) spike proteins instead of actively fighting to clear the spike from the body.
And people who are getting "booster" after "booster" are repeatedly triggering these immune system activities and causing persistent systemic inflammation, which can cause hyper-immune and autoimmune responses...and then possible immune system exhaustion as your immune system becomes overwhelmed.
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
And then there's the plasmid DNA contamination (with the oncogenic SV-40 promotor sequence) that's been discovered. There are a number of ways in which integration into the human genome is possible...
And more...
I am not a doctor…so PLEASE let me know of any corrections that need to be made if I have misstated something…
But tragically, I think the injuries, disabilities, and deaths from these modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections prove that the COVID shots have been an IMMUNOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE.
Footnote:
Credit to Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Dr. Mike Yeadon, & Dr. Kevin Stillwagon for their videos & articles from which I furthered my understanding of human immunology and the essential component of Self vs. Non-self.
Portions of my 2 comments relied on my notes from their work, as well as other doctors' and scientists' work from my over 10,000 hours researching all things "COVID" and the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections since 2020. But as I am not a professional researcher, either, I am sorry to say that I neglected to keep proper citations.
The self amplifying modified RNA was already part of the campaign we went through; it was found as a listed ingredient in some of the batches (Karen Kingston just wrote about it). I would say a huge number went out with this feature judging by the testimonies I came across plus my own unfortunate experience as well. It's dark, and it's very difficult to convey to people, once again.
My sons were in high school during 'COVID'- their dad and I spoke up, refused the jabs, would not wear masks or conform to the insanity & even explained to them that the "world was run by satanic pedophiles"-none of that mattered- when everything went online in high school they were captured. No sports, no prom, they are 20 & 22 now, have never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend or any friends except for online gamers. One thinks he's a 'furry', the other doesn't know what he is.
Their dad owned an off road adventure company that took groups, including the boys, off grid remote camping. I'm a holistic health Practioner- everything they ate/drank was as organic as possible- they had their first colonic when they were 8. They never had a pediatrician because they were never sick. They attended Waldorf school from kinder- 8th grade. We all got "covid" and took 'horse paste' and recovered quickly. Now they eat shit food, drink energy drinks and game. They have jobs, share an apartment and pay their bills, and I'm grateful for this. All I can do now is pray that they will have their own awakening as I know I'm not the one that can be their savior.
The only solution I can see for parents of young children is to find other like minded/hearted families, start your own community/school and never give them phones. Maybe impossible but honestly, what else can we do to save our kids?
I should disclose that I am the boys 'stepmom'- became their full-time mom when they were 3 & 5. Their birth mom is bipolar & vaccinated them when they were babies. Nature vs. nurture...My youngest is autistic and when he was 15 asked if I thought it was the shots he got as a baby that made him different? Probably.
God bless you Joshua Stylman for speaking the truth and allowing me a chance to share my frustrations. The popularity of your writings give me hope that there are enough of us 'crazies' out there that just maybe, enough of us will rise up and reclaim our humanity.
It was the same during Communism, which I now believe was a beta test. They learned a lot about fear and income as a motivator. The percent that never spoke out was astounding. Afterward, they all claimed they had always fought the regime.
Ever notice who gained power after these "revolutions"?
The elites ended the beta test, in order to transfer the manufacturing assets to China, amongst other stacked functions. Not a "revolution" nor a "capitalist win."
I lived it. Heartbreaking to learn Vaclav Havel was controlled opposition.
Onion layers need to be peeled back. It taught me never to assume, never go on hopey-changey, never conclude from my conclusions backwards. Valuable lesson.
Obama was figured out in less than 3 mins, same with Drumpf. Most don't look.
Did you know Putin's grandfather was a cook in Stalin's Kosher kitchen?
It looks to me like *the price* people HAVE TO PAY for civil 'rights' being Respected and not being officially scapegoated so much) re: Obama's presidency, is this lockstep mindset and behavior. Helping to strengthen it! Every group that wants to not be attacked appears to believe (thanks to the heavy hand of the political police, say, against the Black Panthers) that the only way forward is via the system as it's Set Up. When you see the sitatuation in the Big Picture sense, you can see why so many do as they do!
i'm sorry but i don't know any of you and i would like to at least SEE the accusations leveled at him in some sort of print.
not that i don't know that everyone's got their dark secret side, but i did a search and couldn't find and your (plural) says would put an asterisk beside his name to check.
all the same this no longer defeats me. i've always been suspicious of ANYONE who wants to be in charge. for whatever it's worth, i'm a 4X Leo and am working around an inordinate amount of arrogance hot headedness assholery and add the Puerto Rican German artist part and i'm a hot mess coming and going.
and all my life i've been called the worst things by my beloveds as well as the subject of much gossip, the truth always more interesting and sweet than they ever knew.
Look it up and provide links . Believe nothing but your own research. Have you researched Havel or just parroted the narrative? Best way to prove or disprove another’s research is to do a deep dive and start a healthy debate. Lots of time to have researched any leader placed before us. Bigger issues to tackle now. I’ve no time to catch people up who preferred fairy tales while children died.
I am Czech, there are tons of materials in Czech regarding his real persona. I have never done any of that research in English, so I don't have links.
I just did a funny encouner with AI, who assured me he was spotless. Then I asked about the philandering. The lying. The heavy drinking. The "humanitarian" bombing of Yugoslavia. Etc. And AI reluctantly dribbles more info. Heh.
Read Letters to Olga. You will get the flavor of "something is wrong here." Another tip-off: he treated his wife badly, and married his mistress while she was barely in the grave... Another tip-off: he drove a Mercedes while funds from abroad for political prisoners were not being delivered.... according to his buddies from that period. Plus when he became president, he "took back" the properties that had been owned by his uncle who was a Nazi collaborant (which was against the current law, since the uncle lost it due to his behavior under Hitler. There is a pic of little Havel sitting on the lap of some Nazi bigwig, the family was well connected.) Suddenly he was quite rich. And there is more. It's a sordid story.
I think my kids really wish I'd start self censoring! A parent with too much integrity can be embarrassing and annoying at times, lol! But they are definitely better off with a mother like me than with one who is afraid to speak her mind - I agree with this.
Sounds like they're being en-sheeple-ized. Maybe you should turn them on to Sara McGrath or Grace Llewellyn and break the cycle of psychological genocide that young people have been put thru at least since the 1930s. For more info on this topic, and a wider analysis, see John Taylor Gatto or even John Holt (i'm not aware of a woman writing big picture analysis, but perhaps bell hooks is one?).
Another topic that is part of the big mosaic, well done. Now, depending upon what sorts of episodes one participated in (and the individual egos of people make it impossible for most to comprehend that in most cases they did not participate in anything substantial) how about this... I have never witnessed a righteous man win, it est, if the righteous won, it was a pyrrhic victory on steroids. People as people have their own quiet ways of reading the signs of the times. The good news is, the same happened in the Soviet Union in its finale. The good news is, that a population conditioned to such behavior remains waiting for something to happen, when then many other factors and features of a living being are unleashed. The bad news is, that it leads to, and it takes a fall, comparable to the 1990s in the former Soviet Union states. Tyranny has its effective ways, yes. But also leads to moments when all the angst becomes irrelevant and what follows is a multitude of feedback loops, within which, the quiet masses suddenly start to release their accumulated frustrations, through actions. I did send you the humble proposal of a topic to consider, you just need to check the Telegram. Kind regards and always a joy to read your essays.
Thank you, Josh. I just read this after contacting my two Senators and one Representative to urge them to block support for the Zionist aggression in the Middle East. I ended by saying, "Netanyahu is not my President. Nor is he yours." They are all recipients of AIPAC contributions. If we wait around until gas is $7.00/per gallon (or total annihilation), it will be too late.
Losing "friends" who would have reported me to the Covid Stasi is a painful but small price to pay for being jab-free and spiritually alive.
I'm thinking you need to truly understand statecraft, and the real reasons israel is given so much reign to terrorize. Basically, they're doing the work of world elites' continued radical aloofness (and severe alienation) from the rest of us. Noam Chomsky, who is not a perfect person but does have some powerful instititutional analysis (and ought to be read by everyone, 'Rightwing' and 'Left') on this stuff. It may blow you away, so be careful! See " chomsky.info "
Growing old had me worried but realised there are a few privileges and one of them is speaking my mind as there is no downside. My grandchildren are not lucky and living in a police state is not life. To preserve their sanity I’m thinking to recommend two options. One: never join social media platforms and two: get out of the system and become independent like your great grandparents back in the 18-19 century. What do you think?
I forsook most of legacy media (LM) (aka Mainstream Media MSM) about 6 years back. I am solely on SM. Sure SM has its downsides but none compared to LM which tried to influence us by their paid overlords incessantly with fake fraudulent takes. Again, with the rise of almost-impossible-to-debunk-AI videos, SM is admittedly problematic but again I’d rather curate my own epistemic bubble rather than have the NYT/WaPO/Atlantic and other owned media make the newsworthy slants for me. Further I can be a lurker on SM and get "my news”. Also I use diverse SM - X, IG, TT, BlueSky, Telegram and juxtapose one versus the other. I am also “old”.
“The alternative is spiritual death”. Well, I am on every shit list known to mankind so I am giving this a giant “like”. I used to be a very “bougie” lady. I have absolutely none of that now but I do have my soul and my conscience is in tact. I know what it feels like to go along with crap that I know is not right for status and a check. It was not worth it. Thanks for writing this.
Brilliantly said, Josh. Thank you. I wish I had not needed help articulating what I have felt to be ineffable, not because I was afraid but because I have felt so discombobulated by all that has happened on so many fronts these past five years. I have missed having those who used to be my go-to close friends and family members with whom I would process my thoughts and impressions. Through this essay you have helped me see that I have been authentic and brave and at times also have fallen short of full expressions in the company of those who might label me a crackpot. Your essay strengthens my resolve to continue being my authentic self because that is all I really have to offer the world anyway. Overall, I am proud to be me and to have lived my convictions out as these past five years were ushered in and scaldingly unfolded. I will keep and pass on this essay. Yours is an American voice, a national treasure..
This is the most thoughtful, powerful and convincing essay I've read on this subject for literally years. I'm still a little breathless from reading truth bomb after truth bomb. Thank you.
The mRNA injections worked/are working according to their *intended* purpose(s) as military counter-measures/weapons of war. They were/are - at least, the ones in the “hot” batches- designed to maim, sterilize, and kill.
The mechanism of action of the modified mRNA-LNP shots (that instructs one's own cells to become "spike protein factories") IS the primary mechanism of harm.
Oh yes it is! I dumped TV decades ago. I never took on zombie-making "smart phones." Nobody is forcing you to eat crap foods, or to buy into crap tech. Let's do what the Amish do: they test new tech on the impact on their community, and have the courage and self-restraint to abandon those that harm it.
I'm reminded of Ayn Rand's essay, Comprachicos. Only this is so much better! This is really brilliant, sharing. If only I was so eloquent, mabe I could've helped more effectively.
I've been a 'conspiracy theorist' since long before the convid, and I knew. But, what did I know? I didn't need to know much at all, and got bolder with what I would say with each public hoop-jump of the establishment. I spoke out, but it's not enough for someone with no credibility to speak out, it means nothing really. It's just frustrating. I accepted the marginalization and even the demonization, because I'm used to it. It's incredibly effective. We just get comfortable in our new normal, outside, in the margins, where we are told we belong. I even physically moved to the sticks, quit work in the institutions and took up gardening instead. A homesteader, where it's not considered weird to be anti-vax and is only a short step to 'the government wants us dead.' 😏
Have you been reading Luc Lelievre's essays of a similar vein? It's spot on.
"Institutional power rarely reveals its full mechanics in one stroke. Instead, it unfolds in sequences—calculated, procedural, and often cloaked in the language of neutrality. Neutralization, the fourth installment in Luc Lelièvre’s Unbekoming series, dissects this final movement in the choreography of bureaucratic suppression. Building on prior analyses—Heresy, which outlined how dissent is ideologically framed as deviant; Suppression, which explored institutional mechanisms of exclusion; and Omission, which detailed the structural design behind silencing—this essay turns its attention to the silent sophistication of neutralization: the use of legal fuses, narrative gatekeepers, and administrative dead-ends to reroute dissent and erase its public trace."
Hit this one out of several ballparks. My oldest, a nurse and 39 now told me “I should have had you arrested” during Covid. Why? I paid zero attention to the Covid scam and lived my life normally. And took my grandkids with me every day. They were NOT gonna think that was right or normal. Her children. With her permission. She and I don’t speak since she uttered those words, after the scam ended. I lost a child and my grands. Temporarily. Almost grown up now. But, it all happened because of that scam and my ABSOLUTE REFUSAL as a living human to live in a government imposed cage for even half a second of my life. I had the mountains all to myself to hike. And we used them. There were idiots at altitude with masks on. On a mountain lookout. You had to CLIMB to get there. To all that fresh NH mountaintop air. I have that pic if you ever want to see it. The mass onset of mental illness was fast and deep. And it’s still there. We missed our granddaughters graduation. And will miss our grandsons, also.
I'm so sorry. This story is far too common. Time can be a healer - hopefully your grandkids will see the light.
My babies are fine. Just not quite old enough to make their own decisions. But old enough to remember that nightmare and being with grandpa and I every day being wholly alive!!
Had the same reaction from my daughter in-law. My speaks to me, but gran kids are in the distant past. People refuse to accept making mistakes and learn nothing and will except the next government agenda when it comes along. Not sure what the answer is, they sure don't want to talk about it. Good luck.
I suggest you learn from what many whom are being scapegoated (world Indigenous, etc.) have learned about the situation. And it isn't limited to which figurehead is in power.
Hugs Brother. They will come back to you.
They cannot talk about it Dave. They cannot face up to what they have done. It’s pretty epic. What was done to others I know is simply unforgivable. It’s hard.
NH surrounded by crazies… VT, MA, ME…and importing trouble in the southern part of the state.
Keep being solid in NH! The great hope of NE
Being KEPT hyped-up and DIVIDED. Know the pattern or be tooled!
Tooled and fooled. Divide and conquer.
The swamp overplayed its hand as usual, some lions woke up, which is why Disease X, MonkeyPox, BirdFlu, etc. were scorned.
Keep waking up the lions.
I live in lockdown VT just across the border to the West of Littleton NH. I'm a Boomer and the boomers are the craziest. My sister would have loved force injections for all and concentration camps for refuseniks. We don't talk much, but I'd bet she's still wearing a mask. Well after the Covid was proved BS, my town was debating extending mask mandates. I wrote to my selectman and told him that would be fine with me, I would be glad to continue doing all my business and recreating in NH. The mask mandate was dropped.
Maine. Former Masshole. NH and the Presidentials are my cathedral. That’s where she moved the babies so we went too.
Save Maine!
An uphill fight, but at least there's good skiing in Maine.
Unfortunately, too many black flies and too much woke mind-virus.
No shortage of pedos up here either. But it is not Mass. I’m WAY up North. Gods country. Where there are no cops and you don’t want the townsfolk to find out you touch kids. Lots of wilderness hereabouts. And it is Portland that throws elections up here. Steals them. Not many libs past Portland.
It's not Mass.... it only USED to be Mass.
Protect the kids!
Up North one wants to keep hands to oneself. One tends to get lost otherwise. And yeah, was Mass. not since 1819 though. Been a minute.
Well, i think there's a 'meta-game' for why so many who SEEM LIKE idiots, wore masks like that, and i think it comes back to this Coward's Bargain thing.
I think that their actual reasoning is more about herd-thinking and "Public Relations" and how the inter-netting of daily life has infiltrated their lives to the core. Thus, if they're, say, a public official seen without a mask (in certain groupings), they can lose socially. They can lose professionally. They can experience all kinds of difficulties that their 'Rollback Generation' has been ENGINEERED to be STUCK in. Unable to escape the many tentacles of control! Or so they've been programmed to BELIEVE!!
Thinking of Christopher Simpson's book "THE SCIENCE OF COERCION". And N.Chomsky. And Harriet A. Washington. And a host of others, mostly whistleblowers leading.
It’s a pack mentality. Also an astonishing (to me) need to be one of the IN crowd. At any cost. Virtue signaling is also a major issue. I will openly mock virtue signalers. I can’t help it. And lose? Nah. I left a 200k a year job. Told them to pound sand. I don’t do masks and medical advice by my service manager. Got a better job. Found a shop where they locked the mask monsters out and unlocked the back door for the sane ones. It was a time that literally sorted the sane from the insane for us openly.
" Anyone who actually followed the science understood the only pandemic was one of cowardice. "
🎯
And this includes a large number of "unvaccinated" cowards who lied, complied, hid and still gaslight us.
I was so trusting in my government I took the poison without hesitation I never heard anything bad, no word of a lie, I only watched the news. Until the truckers then I found out they poisoned me and my whole family! I wish to god I knew because believe me I have the biggest mouth around and I will NEVER shut up about what they have done! What are you scared of? They’re going to kill you so STAND UP COWARDS! As god as my witness I will go down screaming, why not to late for my family. My sister is almost dead from the poison, so her whole family is also destroyed! So if you care anything about your family SHOUT it out! I will never SHUT UP you poisoned my grandchildren! My god what else is there but your family? Nothing!
I think it was actually first and foremost one of FEAR. Cowardice is downstream from that.
Those of us who stood up and suffered tremendous losses were afraid, too.
I think it's all about propaganda. The information you're exposed to is different from the information others, like these folks you call cowards, are exposed to. You are surrounded by a culture that moves you, just as they, but with different priorities. But the bottom line is, as far as i can see it, one about KEEPING ALL DIVIDED and unable to empathize with each other. Why? Because that's the bottom line ideology of statecraft. An informative demystification on this can be had by reading Noam Chomsky's "best" speech: "MEDIA CONTROL: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda". Tho the original speech is best, the book at least allows for his main points!
"I don't share my opinions because I "get away with it"—I don't get away with anything. I've paid socially, professionally, and even financially. But I do it anyway because the alternative is spiritual death." 100%
THANK YOU for so insightfully and eloquently articulating what I (and probably many others who read your excellent Substack) have felt and experienced.
"These days, friends are starting to confide in me that maybe I was right about the mRNA vaccines not working. I don't gloat—in fact, I appreciate the openness. But my standard reply is that they're four years late to the story." Unfortunately, this has not been my experience...Most of my family and (former) friends have refused and still refuse to consider anything I have said/written about the inherently dangerous true nature of the mRNA shots...
The mRNA shots were/are always going to be an immunological catastrophe for humanity.
Thank you to all the brave doctors & scientists and all the people of the world with curiosity, integrity, and strength of character who have risked so much to get this info out into the world.
The primary danger of the COVID-19 mRNA injections has always been one’s own immune system’s attack response by the mighty CD8+ Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte cells (AKA Killer T-cells):
The COVID-19 mRNA injections must be recalled from the market and mRNA-based products must be banned because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.
These modified mRNA-LNP COVID-19 injections, that trigger one's own immune system to attack & kill one's own formerly healthy cells (that have been instructed to produce/express foreign, non-self proteins), no matter where those cells are in the body, never should have been made available to the public in the first place.
When the (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA transfects one's cells, and gives instructions for the ribosomes to make & express foreign non-self proteins (such as the toxic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein), one's immune system sends the CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to kill those formerly healthy cells that are now making & expressing non-self proteins.
It is the mission of these CD8+ CTLs to seek out and destroy any such transfected cell that is making foreign non-self proteins. That’s what they do…
Due to the biodistribution properties of the lipid nanoparticles, the encased modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain and placental barriers...The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing. The reason is, our bodies are protected by being able to distinguish ourselves from things that shouldn't be there. Anything non-self will trigger immune destruction of the cells & tissues involved.
Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations. Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if the expression is in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers)…
And more…
There's no limit to the horrible consequences of injecting into your body something that triggers your own immune system to attack & kill your own formerly healthy cells & tissues.
The public “health” agencies, the COVID “authorities”, & the “mainstream” media fraudulently marketed these experimental mRNA gene “therapy” products as “safe & effective vaccines”. Trusting people thought that they were being presented with the choice (or the mandate) as to whether or not to take a “safe & effective vaccine”…But that was/is a deceptively false “choice”…
The COVID-19 mRNA injections are NOT safe, they are NOT effective, and they are NOT vaccines.
These modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the fraudulent mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
NO ONE should have ever had the “choice” of taking these gene “therapy” injections because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells and instructs those cells to produce foreign non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues (the role of the Killer T-cells is to monitor ALL the cells of the body, ready to destroy/kill any that express foreign, non-self proteins). This makes EVERY mRNA-based injected product harmful by design.
No one who took these modified mRNA-LNP COVID injections made an informed decision. Most people had no clue about what they allowed to be injected into their bodies...
Also most people still do not understand that the devastating harms inflicted upon people over the last few years was intentional:

Part 2
AFTER the mighty CD8+ Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte cells (AKA Killer T-cells) attack response to modified mRNA transfected cells of tissues & organs inside your body:
After the primary immune system attack response by the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), resulting in varying degrees of tissue damage & pathology in different people, a lot happens...
The CTLs will not be able to kill every cell making non-self (spike) protein, so some amount of foreign (spike) protein will get made & released from your cells. That amount will also vary from person to person.
Specialized cells called antigen-presenting cells, especially dendritic cells and macrophages, spring into action. Long story short…you will get serum antibodies made against those foreign proteins which is the stated goal of any shot called a vaccine.
But that can take up to 2 weeks, and during that time, the foreign non-self (spike) proteins are biologically active and will attach to various cellular receptors, resulting in a whole new level of possible tissue destruction.
Now your immune system will activate macrophages & neutrophils that will kill THOSE cells through inflammatory pathways, regardless of whether or not the non-self proteins are toxic themselves.
And if the non-self proteins ARE toxic, like the pathogenic spike proteins, they can cause problems like tissue damage all by themselves without your immune system even being involved at that point.
But your adaptive immune system has done its job & you've made your serum antibodies by now! Yippee!
Too bad those (non-neutralizing, leaky) serum antibodies can only REACT to a (SARS-CoV-2) infection...it is biologically impossible for serum antibodies (in the blood) to PREVENT respiratory infections that enter the body through the mucosa of the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes.
To PREVENT respiratory infections requires a strong innate immune system with mucosal immunity and secretory IgA to stop the respiratory infection at the mucosal and epithelial barriers (stopping the infection OUTSIDE your body and PREVENTING the infection from getting INSIDE your body).
And this is also where the CTLs are supposed to do their cell-destroying activities. When epithelial cells in the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes are infected (like can happen with respiratory diseases) the Killer T-cells will kill those infected cells.
Epithelial cells at the epithelial barrier can be quickly replaced, usually in just a few days in most people. But injections bypass your body's natural protections and send their payload into your body, where that payload can enter your lymph system and bloodstream.
And in the case of the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections, this can be disastrous, starting with the immune system attack response against transfected cells of tissues & organs (INSIDE your body) that are now making foreign non-self proteins.
Replacing cells from now damaged tissues and organs inside your body is a complex process that can take weeks or longer, with some areas unable to be repaired at all.
The modification of natural mRNA with synthetic n1-methyl pseudouridine made the modified mRNA longer lasting and resistant to the body’s natural breakdown processes. A Nobel Prize was awarded specifically for this use of longer lasting pseudouridine in the COVID modified mRNA injections.
The synthetic pseudouridine modified mRNA is causing a +1 ribosomal frameshift, as well as a reverse reading, so some people may make spike proteins AND mystery (or junk) non-self proteins.
Studies have found that an antibody subclass switch to IgG4 can occur between mRNA shot #2 & #3, which is sending a stand-down signal to the immune system, essentially telling the immune system to tolerate and ignore the (toxic pathogenic) spike proteins instead of actively fighting to clear the spike from the body.
And people who are getting "booster" after "booster" are repeatedly triggering these immune system activities and causing persistent systemic inflammation, which can cause hyper-immune and autoimmune responses...and then possible immune system exhaustion as your immune system becomes overwhelmed.
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
And then there's the plasmid DNA contamination (with the oncogenic SV-40 promotor sequence) that's been discovered. There are a number of ways in which integration into the human genome is possible...
And more...
I am not a doctor…so PLEASE let me know of any corrections that need to be made if I have misstated something…
But tragically, I think the injuries, disabilities, and deaths from these modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections prove that the COVID shots have been an IMMUNOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE.

Portions of my 2 comments relied on my notes from their work, as well as other doctors' and scientists' work from my over 10,000 hours researching all things "COVID" and the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections since 2020. But as I am not a professional researcher, either, I am sorry to say that I neglected to keep proper citations.
Now I am hearing talk about the new saMRNA, as it's intent is to vaccinate via shedding on those of us who choose to remain 'pure-bloods'.
The self amplifying modified RNA was already part of the campaign we went through; it was found as a listed ingredient in some of the batches (Karen Kingston just wrote about it). I would say a huge number went out with this feature judging by the testimonies I came across plus my own unfortunate experience as well. It's dark, and it's very difficult to convey to people, once again.
Unfortunately, yes...

What happened to the PCR test data? Jabbed or unjabbed. My work could not answer how, when or if the test swab would be destroyed.

My sons were in high school during 'COVID'- their dad and I spoke up, refused the jabs, would not wear masks or conform to the insanity & even explained to them that the "world was run by satanic pedophiles"-none of that mattered- when everything went online in high school they were captured. No sports, no prom, they are 20 & 22 now, have never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend or any friends except for online gamers. One thinks he's a 'furry', the other doesn't know what he is.
Their dad owned an off road adventure company that took groups, including the boys, off grid remote camping. I'm a holistic health Practioner- everything they ate/drank was as organic as possible- they had their first colonic when they were 8. They never had a pediatrician because they were never sick. They attended Waldorf school from kinder- 8th grade. We all got "covid" and took 'horse paste' and recovered quickly. Now they eat shit food, drink energy drinks and game. They have jobs, share an apartment and pay their bills, and I'm grateful for this. All I can do now is pray that they will have their own awakening as I know I'm not the one that can be their savior.
The only solution I can see for parents of young children is to find other like minded/hearted families, start your own community/school and never give them phones. Maybe impossible but honestly, what else can we do to save our kids?
I should disclose that I am the boys 'stepmom'- became their full-time mom when they were 3 & 5. Their birth mom is bipolar & vaccinated them when they were babies. Nature vs. nurture...My youngest is autistic and when he was 15 asked if I thought it was the shots he got as a baby that made him different? Probably.
God bless you Joshua Stylman for speaking the truth and allowing me a chance to share my frustrations. The popularity of your writings give me hope that there are enough of us 'crazies' out there that just maybe, enough of us will rise up and reclaim our humanity.
It was the same during Communism, which I now believe was a beta test. They learned a lot about fear and income as a motivator. The percent that never spoke out was astounding. Afterward, they all claimed they had always fought the regime.
Ever notice who gained power after these "revolutions"?
The elites ended the beta test, in order to transfer the manufacturing assets to China, amongst other stacked functions. Not a "revolution" nor a "capitalist win."
I lived it. Heartbreaking to learn Vaclav Havel was controlled opposition.
Whaaaat? Valclav Havel?
Machiavellian Masters
Onion layers need to be peeled back. It taught me never to assume, never go on hopey-changey, never conclude from my conclusions backwards. Valuable lesson.
Obama was figured out in less than 3 mins, same with Drumpf. Most don't look.
Did you know Putin's grandfather was a cook in Stalin's Kosher kitchen?
Stalin = Dzhugashvili
It looks to me like *the price* people HAVE TO PAY for civil 'rights' being Respected and not being officially scapegoated so much) re: Obama's presidency, is this lockstep mindset and behavior. Helping to strengthen it! Every group that wants to not be attacked appears to believe (thanks to the heavy hand of the political police, say, against the Black Panthers) that the only way forward is via the system as it's Set Up. When you see the sitatuation in the Big Picture sense, you can see why so many do as they do!
Yep. It's true. Not only a controlled opposition but a thorough scumbag. Sad to say. A terrible playwright, too.
But good at speeches.
but what are the citations???
i'm sorry but i don't know any of you and i would like to at least SEE the accusations leveled at him in some sort of print.
not that i don't know that everyone's got their dark secret side, but i did a search and couldn't find and your (plural) says would put an asterisk beside his name to check.
all the same this no longer defeats me. i've always been suspicious of ANYONE who wants to be in charge. for whatever it's worth, i'm a 4X Leo and am working around an inordinate amount of arrogance hot headedness assholery and add the Puerto Rican German artist part and i'm a hot mess coming and going.
and all my life i've been called the worst things by my beloveds as well as the subject of much gossip, the truth always more interesting and sweet than they ever knew.
so ...citations, darlings?...
(smile)
i want to be ginger with others' names.
thank you
erika lopez

san francisco
good to see you here erika. i hope you’re well. josh seems to have similar quality of thought as jmg. jez.
yes, he's clean.
Look it up and provide links . Believe nothing but your own research. Have you researched Havel or just parroted the narrative? Best way to prove or disprove another’s research is to do a deep dive and start a healthy debate. Lots of time to have researched any leader placed before us. Bigger issues to tackle now. I’ve no time to catch people up who preferred fairy tales while children died.
But you DO have time to gossip and slander.
Gotcha.
I am Czech, there are tons of materials in Czech regarding his real persona. I have never done any of that research in English, so I don't have links.
I just did a funny encouner with AI, who assured me he was spotless. Then I asked about the philandering. The lying. The heavy drinking. The "humanitarian" bombing of Yugoslavia. Etc. And AI reluctantly dribbles more info. Heh.
Read Letters to Olga. You will get the flavor of "something is wrong here." Another tip-off: he treated his wife badly, and married his mistress while she was barely in the grave... Another tip-off: he drove a Mercedes while funds from abroad for political prisoners were not being delivered.... according to his buddies from that period. Plus when he became president, he "took back" the properties that had been owned by his uncle who was a Nazi collaborant (which was against the current law, since the uncle lost it due to his behavior under Hitler. There is a pic of little Havel sitting on the lap of some Nazi bigwig, the family was well connected.) Suddenly he was quite rich. And there is more. It's a sordid story.
Good stuff, my brother. Keep it coming!
I think my kids really wish I'd start self censoring! A parent with too much integrity can be embarrassing and annoying at times, lol! But they are definitely better off with a mother like me than with one who is afraid to speak her mind - I agree with this.
Your writing always resonates Joshua. Thank you!
Sounds like they're being en-sheeple-ized. Maybe you should turn them on to Sara McGrath or Grace Llewellyn and break the cycle of psychological genocide that young people have been put thru at least since the 1930s. For more info on this topic, and a wider analysis, see John Taylor Gatto or even John Holt (i'm not aware of a woman writing big picture analysis, but perhaps bell hooks is one?).
Another topic that is part of the big mosaic, well done. Now, depending upon what sorts of episodes one participated in (and the individual egos of people make it impossible for most to comprehend that in most cases they did not participate in anything substantial) how about this... I have never witnessed a righteous man win, it est, if the righteous won, it was a pyrrhic victory on steroids. People as people have their own quiet ways of reading the signs of the times. The good news is, the same happened in the Soviet Union in its finale. The good news is, that a population conditioned to such behavior remains waiting for something to happen, when then many other factors and features of a living being are unleashed. The bad news is, that it leads to, and it takes a fall, comparable to the 1990s in the former Soviet Union states. Tyranny has its effective ways, yes. But also leads to moments when all the angst becomes irrelevant and what follows is a multitude of feedback loops, within which, the quiet masses suddenly start to release their accumulated frustrations, through actions. I did send you the humble proposal of a topic to consider, you just need to check the Telegram. Kind regards and always a joy to read your essays.
Thank you, Josh. I just read this after contacting my two Senators and one Representative to urge them to block support for the Zionist aggression in the Middle East. I ended by saying, "Netanyahu is not my President. Nor is he yours." They are all recipients of AIPAC contributions. If we wait around until gas is $7.00/per gallon (or total annihilation), it will be too late.
Losing "friends" who would have reported me to the Covid Stasi is a painful but small price to pay for being jab-free and spiritually alive.
I'm thinking you need to truly understand statecraft, and the real reasons israel is given so much reign to terrorize. Basically, they're doing the work of world elites' continued radical aloofness (and severe alienation) from the rest of us. Noam Chomsky, who is not a perfect person but does have some powerful instititutional analysis (and ought to be read by everyone, 'Rightwing' and 'Left') on this stuff. It may blow you away, so be careful! See " chomsky.info "
Thanks, Chaz! I agree with your brief description of statecraft. I used to be a fan of Chomsky but I'm willing to revisit him. Thanks for the link.
Growing old had me worried but realised there are a few privileges and one of them is speaking my mind as there is no downside. My grandchildren are not lucky and living in a police state is not life. To preserve their sanity I’m thinking to recommend two options. One: never join social media platforms and two: get out of the system and become independent like your great grandparents back in the 18-19 century. What do you think?
I forsook most of legacy media (LM) (aka Mainstream Media MSM) about 6 years back. I am solely on SM. Sure SM has its downsides but none compared to LM which tried to influence us by their paid overlords incessantly with fake fraudulent takes. Again, with the rise of almost-impossible-to-debunk-AI videos, SM is admittedly problematic but again I’d rather curate my own epistemic bubble rather than have the NYT/WaPO/Atlantic and other owned media make the newsworthy slants for me. Further I can be a lurker on SM and get "my news”. Also I use diverse SM - X, IG, TT, BlueSky, Telegram and juxtapose one versus the other. I am also “old”.
“The alternative is spiritual death”. Well, I am on every shit list known to mankind so I am giving this a giant “like”. I used to be a very “bougie” lady. I have absolutely none of that now but I do have my soul and my conscience is in tact. I know what it feels like to go along with crap that I know is not right for status and a check. It was not worth it. Thanks for writing this.
Brilliantly said, Josh. Thank you. I wish I had not needed help articulating what I have felt to be ineffable, not because I was afraid but because I have felt so discombobulated by all that has happened on so many fronts these past five years. I have missed having those who used to be my go-to close friends and family members with whom I would process my thoughts and impressions. Through this essay you have helped me see that I have been authentic and brave and at times also have fallen short of full expressions in the company of those who might label me a crackpot. Your essay strengthens my resolve to continue being my authentic self because that is all I really have to offer the world anyway. Overall, I am proud to be me and to have lived my convictions out as these past five years were ushered in and scaldingly unfolded. I will keep and pass on this essay. Yours is an American voice, a national treasure..
This is the most thoughtful, powerful and convincing essay I've read on this subject for literally years. I'm still a little breathless from reading truth bomb after truth bomb. Thank you.
The mRNA injections worked/are working according to their *intended* purpose(s) as military counter-measures/weapons of war. They were/are - at least, the ones in the “hot” batches- designed to maim, sterilize, and kill.
The mechanism of action of the modified mRNA-LNP shots (that instructs one's own cells to become "spike protein factories") IS the primary mechanism of harm.
"The solution isn't to abandon technology"
Oh yes it is! I dumped TV decades ago. I never took on zombie-making "smart phones." Nobody is forcing you to eat crap foods, or to buy into crap tech. Let's do what the Amish do: they test new tech on the impact on their community, and have the courage and self-restraint to abandon those that harm it.
How long do you intend to keep the computer you wrote that on? LOL
Even the Amish don't dump ALL technology.
I'm reminded of Ayn Rand's essay, Comprachicos. Only this is so much better! This is really brilliant, sharing. If only I was so eloquent, mabe I could've helped more effectively.
I've been a 'conspiracy theorist' since long before the convid, and I knew. But, what did I know? I didn't need to know much at all, and got bolder with what I would say with each public hoop-jump of the establishment. I spoke out, but it's not enough for someone with no credibility to speak out, it means nothing really. It's just frustrating. I accepted the marginalization and even the demonization, because I'm used to it. It's incredibly effective. We just get comfortable in our new normal, outside, in the margins, where we are told we belong. I even physically moved to the sticks, quit work in the institutions and took up gardening instead. A homesteader, where it's not considered weird to be anti-vax and is only a short step to 'the government wants us dead.' 😏
Have you been reading Luc Lelievre's essays of a similar vein? It's spot on.
"Institutional power rarely reveals its full mechanics in one stroke. Instead, it unfolds in sequences—calculated, procedural, and often cloaked in the language of neutrality. Neutralization, the fourth installment in Luc Lelièvre’s Unbekoming series, dissects this final movement in the choreography of bureaucratic suppression. Building on prior analyses—Heresy, which outlined how dissent is ideologically framed as deviant; Suppression, which explored institutional mechanisms of exclusion; and Omission, which detailed the structural design behind silencing—this essay turns its attention to the silent sophistication of neutralization: the use of legal fuses, narrative gatekeepers, and administrative dead-ends to reroute dissent and erase its public trace."
