Maybe the battle is between those who unfairly benefit from credentialism, and those who don't.

Liberals defend their credentials which allow them to exploit those who don't have the same credentials. Credentials create monopolies, the ability to set high prices regardless of quality of service. It is a way to defeat free market competition.

The funding of universities depends entirely on the demand for their degrees, which they control. Their biggest horror would be a system where anyone could take tests to prove competence in a subject without paying for the years of classes and subjecting themselves to obedience to professors.

Thatcher and Trump refused to give the automatic respect many academics feel is their due. They gave the impression that they could see right through us, an uncomfortable feeling.
- Thomas Frank

Most of academia is less about learning than about paying for a paper proof of status and conformity. Non-conformists are expelled from schools, or failed out. Most teachers do not like their authority to be questioned. Bosses like the academic proof of conformity when they hire. The most "educated" are the most obedient.

Trump was a threat to their credentials and therefore a threat to their incomes and status.

The academic elite need a reason to hate those threatening themselves, therefore they use imaginary "racism", to which there is no defense. The accusation is the conviction.

Then they don't need to worry about the real class problem, which is independent of race. They would be uncomfortable looking at class, because they'd have to look at themselves and their unearned class privileges.

So their faith in the injection is faith in the "expert class" of which they are members, and they demand that the hoi polloi submit to it as an expression of the elite's power and prestige.

Mostly, good people cannot comprehend the true nature of evil. Some other people want to keep it that way…

The urban legend says that when Columbus arrived in the New World, the majority of the native population standing on the shore literally could not see the ships.

You have to SEE the evil to fight it.

Most of what we “see” is auto filled in by the brain. The brain fills it in based on what we know, i.e. things we have experienced previously. Most people cannot recognize truly novel pieces of reality in their vision field - most of the time they will simply not “see” them. Some people have the ability to see truly novel things that they have never seen before. A lot of people can also see those things once they are pointed out to them. And a significant portion of the population (about 25% in my estimate) cannot see those things no matter what.

There was nothing in the American natives’ previous life experience that their brains could use as a reference to fill in the picture, so for many of them it didn’t, and so they did not see those gigantic things landing on their shore. The rest is history.

Do you SEE the people that commit genocides? Do you need someone to point them out to you? Or will you never see them even after they come for you and your children?

Dr. Danielle Ofri wants you to take more mRNA jabs.

She doesn’t understand why you won’t.

Is she mad? No, she’s not mad, people, she’s not the kind of doctor who gets mad. She’s the caring, compassionate kind of doctor. Says so right on her Web page, she’s passionate “about the doctor–patient relationship and bringing humanity back to healthcare.”

So Dr. Ofri isn’t mad, she’s sad. Sad for you for not listening to her.

After all, the mRNA jabs are a miracle! Pfizer agrees. The Surgeon General agrees. ...

I know how Ofri feels about the jabs, and her patients’ unwillingness to take them. How do I know? Because she wrote about her feels on Saturday for the New York Times in a (paywalled) piece headlined “My Patients Used to Be Enthusiastic About the Covid Vaccine. What Changed?”

Ofri is an internist at Bellevue Hospital in New York City and a professor at New York University. She writes regularly for all the places you’d expect: not just the Times but the New Yorker and the Atlantic too.

In other words, count on Ofri to think the right (left) thinks. In Saturday’s piece, she went out of her way to explain mRNA-rejecting patients are not naughty “anti-vaxxers” or even naughtier “science deniers.” They will even take (useless) flu shots upon her request.

Yet they have the “heebie-jeebies” about getting more Covid boosters.

Those dummies!

They won’t listen even after Ofri gives them made-up numbers for how well the shots work. (“An estimated three million lives in the United States have been saved.” 3 million Americans? Even Dr. Peter Hotez, the nuttiest of jab fanatics, doesn’t claim more than “hundreds of thousands.”)

They won’t listen after she tells them the new mRNAs are new n’ improved and made all special-like for Omicron.

They won’t even listen after she tells them the newest jabs from Pfizer have been tested on eight mice, or that long-term human trials on booster safety and effectiveness will be finished by the 12th of Never.

Oh wait, she usually forgets to tell them those last two inconvenient truths.

Just like she forgets to tell them that even Omicron-specific mRNA boosters produce an immune response that mostly attacks the now extinct “wild-type” variant of Sars-Cov-2. Or that real-world evidence from all over the world shows the mRNAs have either no or negative efficacy against Omicron. ...

If Ofri were actually being honest about the reasons people don’t want to take more mRNAs, she would begin by acknowledging they failed utterly to meet the expectations she and the public set for them in early 2021. And late 2021 (the first booster). And spring 2022 (the second booster for some patients). And fall 2022 (the bivalent booster).

She would admit she’s now pushing her patients to take a fifth shot - and in some cases, a sixth - for what is at best a couple months of protection. She would admit that she has no idea about the long-term safety of annual or semi-annual mRNA dosing. How can she? No one does.

But Ofri doesn’t want to be honest.

Not about the failure of the jabs, or the fact she is even now helping Pfizer with what is arguably the biggest medical experiment in history, the continued provision of mRNA to hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

She wants to hassle her patients:

Something in me doesn’t feel ready to let it go. The specificity of their Covid refusal — especially compared with flu refusal — piques my curiosity and consternation…

So I clear the deck, push myself away from the computer, make full eye contact and begin again. I might start with, “Tell me what’s on your mind” or “What makes you feel differently about the Covid vaccine versus the flu shot?” I try to step into the gray zone of their responses and explore those awkward feelings.

No, doc, what you’re trying to do is make them so uncomfortable they agree to take a shot they don’t want to shut you up.

Because most patients - the non drug-seeking ones, anyway - don’t like arguing with their doctors. Especially when those doctors have repeatedly made clear how they feel, as Ofri no doubt has after years of pushing boosters.

Instead of arguing, Ofri’s patients disengage, leading her to complain that “they can’t really articulate a specific reason, even to themselves” why they don’t want the jabs. And eventually she quits bugging them, though not before “some” do take the jab.

We’ve all lost people to the mRNA injection.

If not dead or diseased, gone. Vanished. They stopped talking to us. They stopped hanging with us. They barred us from their households, held their heads high in contempt, and gave us the ultimatum.

“We’re all in this together,” we were told. Except we weren’t. We never were, because from the very beginning, none of this was about unity or cohesion. It was designed to separate us. And separate us it did, like the nefarious, strictly enforced PSYOP it was.

As the past few years have slithered by, many people have seen this for what it is. But far too many, still, are fast asleep. They refuse to wake up, resigned to their suspended animation state of convenience and comfort. Some, sadly, were and are completely psychologically destroyed, lashing out like petulant children at the very suggestion that their multiple injections were not “100% safe and effective.” ...

Truth be told, the Truth is dark. It’s painful. For many of our fellow citizens, it’s shocking and disturbing. Their reactions to it are shocking and disturbing. And therein lies the problem. Because, in order for millions upon millions of people across the world to admit the Truth about the so-called vaccines, they’d have to admit another, greater, even darker Truth: their entire paradigm was a lie.

So what will it take to get these people on our side?

Now of course, it shouldn’t be an issue of ‘sides’ - we were artificially pitted against each other as pro-vaxxers and anti-vaxxers - but still, how do we bridge the gap?

While many people regret taking the mRNA injections, most of them will not openly admit it. Others have dug their feet further into the quicksand, defending these jabs to the literal death. ...

But again, how do we get them to be more vocal? How do we get them to have the courage of conviction and call out the lying bureaucrats, the lying politicians, the lying doctors, and the lying pharma companies? How do we get people who aren’t lying, but can’t face the Truth, to face the Truth? To speak the Truth, spread the Truth, and fight tirelessly for the Truth?

What’s up with these people? Why can’t they see what’s right in front of their faces??

While there are myriad psychological theories and scientific reasons to explain these behaviors, sometimes it’s best to take a common sense approach. Emotions are high, with many zealots along the “vaccine” divide vowing never to cross the threshold. Some, unfortunately, are lost to the propaganda forever.

But for the vast majority, there might just be hope. A bright, burning light after a long trek through that tunnel…




... Let’s face it, the past few years have shown that most people are creatures of comfort and familiarity. They’ll take risks and fight for low-hanging fruits, but when it came to the biggest PSYOP of our lifetimes, they didn’t make the cut. They didn’t have the moral fiber. Simply put, they were weak.

As long as they continue to self-censor and avoid the Truth, that weakness will only grow. So one day, rather than have reality slowly but surely crack through, the Dam is going to break. It’s going to shatter, and with it, a deluge that could swallow them whole. ...

If you’ve ever talked to a staunch mRNA proponent, you already know the drill. They’ll sneer when you bring up studies or research from alternative sources. They’ll attack the source, whether it be a website, newspaper, journal, or forum, even when the information referenced comes from a valid scientific study.

When they ask for your “source,” they don’t care about your source. That’s because they’re not debating in good faith. All they want is a reason to dismiss you outright.

Their ‘rebuttals’ are pretty common. They’ll run to Google and immediately pull up the Pharma-funded “independent Fact Checkers.” Then they’ll gloat, as if their three seconds of mindless query somehow ‘won’ them the argument.

If you quote a specialist with a storied career, they’ll resort to ad hominem attacks. They’ll call previously renowned scientists ‘grifters’ because they don’t toe the Narrative line. ...

The most rabid jab pushers think they’re superior.

They’re told by disingenuous studies that they have higher IQs. They’re told by the mainstream media that they’re morally infallible. They saved Grandma. They did their part. They wore the mask, took the vax, and are of humanity’s highest order.

They are the stewards of our planet, the stalwarts of the righteous and powerful.

Everyone else - especially those outspoken against the jabs - gutter trash. They’re misled, inbred, and in some cases, truly evil, despicable people. They’re subhuman, in fact, better locked up and removed from society than allowed to spread their unvaccinated filth.

1) Covid Jabs Cause Myocarditis & Must be Suspended Globally

As difficult as this may be for regular readers to digest, there are still people who think that the Covid jabs work. Incredibly, there are many who remain in denial about any of the well-documented side-effects from these experimental mRNA injections.

But this week, two new academic papers were published issuing dire warnings about the shots. Crucially, both of these academic papers are peer-reviewed.

One of the peer-reviewed papers warned of a causal link between Covid injections and heart damage, or myocarditis.

In addition to the publication of these two peer-reviewed papers, German Chemistry professors have called for all “mRNA technology to be stopped” as “the problems of mRNA-based vaccines are becoming increasingly obvious”.

Despite all of the above, and regardless of how clearly the academic and expert evidence is stacking up against the jabs, UK Prime Minster Rishi Sunak still thought it appropriate to stand before Parliament and declare the jabs “safe”. ...

Safe? Sunak has just implicated himself in crimes against humanity. Keep the video as evidence.

Last week, Radical Media reported 24th January 2024::

“Excess Death: All cause excess death rates are up between 10-20%, in countries that rolled out Covid vaccine mandates - all around the world. Governments are yet to acknowledge the global problem, let alone its causes. This is not theory, rumour or postulation. This is cold hard fact.”

Now ask yourselves this: could these damaging Covid jabs be behind this 10-20% global rise in excess death? The same jabs that seem to be clearly causing heart damage, and that scientists are now saying must be suspended globally? It seems clear. UK PM Rishi Sunak and his ilk have blood on their hands.

World renowned physician, Dr David Martin certainly thinks so.

Dr David Martin: “Let's get all the facts on the table. Coronavirus, Covid-19, the whole thing was premeditated. It was murder. It was active terrorism by a state against the world. Let's call it what it is, and let's not pretend like maybe there's a more complex explanation for - I don't know - the facts. And the facts are, here's the bad news, for 58 years the United States, the UK, in collaboration with researchers around the world, planned to use coronavirus to instil the most tyrannical reform of society that this generation has ever seen and they did it purely premeditated, to make sure that we were cowed into submission. And the bad news for them is there's a lot of people that didn't take the knee”. ...




We reported that it is because politicians cannot for much longer hide these two causes behind the global rise in excess death that England’s Covid Inquiry was postponed until after the General Election. ...

Since then, more witness testimony has been provided to the Scottish Covid Inquiry about the use of Midazolam and morphine for ‘End of Life’ protocols applied to patients without consent.



... Rather than admit the fact that the Covid jabs are causing a global rise in excess death, Globalists would rather provoke World War III in order to escape culpability.

One of the things I hate about the media is how good it is at priming people to have a specific filter and then continually selectively feeding people only information that affirms that filter. I think my dislike of this comes not from the media’s behavior but the fact that so many people continuously fall prey to it, even when they are fully aware of it being done to them previously.

Three of the most noteworthy recent examples we have seen of this priming were:

•Trump is Hitler.

•The sky is falling (because of COVID-19).

•The COVID-19 vaccines are 100% safe, 95% effective, and essential for returning to normal.

Although none of these were objectively true, because of how effectively the media primed much of the population’s RAS, many were left with a deep conviction these filters were true and that the evidence for it was so overwhelming anyone who could not “see” it was unforgivable. This, in turn, led to something I had not seen before with the American propaganda apparatus—families and long-term friendships were broken apart simply due to people having divergent viewpoints on these issues and not ascribing to the media’s narrative.

Note: One of the things I found the most surprising was just how effective this propaganda push was. The best example I can think of is how most medical professionals I met fell for all three. For instance, as James Miller (the honest doc I covered here) has highlighted in a national television interview after that article was published, many doctors and government leaders who directed the COVID-19 response established many of their beliefs on these narratives based on what CNN told them rather than reviewing the medical evidence themselves.

Greg_In_Oz

The problem with society today is that “I told you so” is incredibly triggering to all of the die hards and double-boosted, even the ones who have realised they were lied to ... I recall back in ~October 2021 just before WA started mandating the jabs for practically everybody pointing out the chicanery in the so-called “pandemic of the unvaccinated” statistics in literal black-and-white to work colleagues, who would stare at the evidence of the obvious lie in front of their faces and then choose to ignore it. Data from the UK, NSW, several US localities, the TGA, ATAGI, literally none of it moved the needle at all such was the spell cast over 98% of the population ... the only thing that seemed to matter was rigid adherence to the narrative and conformity to the ideal of being seen to be “responsible, kind and intelligent” by trusting “authoritative” sources. To this day I can’t take any of them seriously anymore, they failed the ultimate test.

... progressivism is besotted with the transformational future, an imaginary utopia qualitatively different from and superior to the Tartarus of antiquity in every way – an Elysium of peace, stability, equality, wealth, ease, comfort, and bliss, existing in a perpetual state of liberatory ecstasy in which the war, chaos, poverty, strife, suffering, and misery of the past have been permanently eradicated.

As a thing imagined, it can be imagined to be as perfect as one likes. This means politics grounded in an imagined future can be as morally grandiose as one likes, with whatever moral urgency goes with such imaginings.

This is deeply intoxicating.

Grounding one’s politics in an imagined future also provides huge rhetorical advantages, precisely because said future is as perfect as one wants it to be. Anyone who wishes to defend some actually existing thing has the problem that it will be the product of trade-offs and human failings.

An “imagined future” believer, by contrast, can just wish all that away for political purposes while hanging current imperfections on those who wish to defend what exists. In any contest between the actual and the imagined, the imagined sparkles ever so more brightly.

If most citizens of the world belatedly learned a novel coronavirus was spreading months before our authorities and experts said was possible, these citizens would have to conclude this was NOT a “deadly” virus … which would mean the world did not have a real “public health emergency” that required lockdowns and then mandated experimental mRNA injections.

But my real goal is NOT to prove early spread. My real goal is to prove that our trusted experts and authorities are hopelessly captured or corrupt … and, therefore, should no longer be trusted.

If the majority of the world population reached this conclusion, one assumes there would be a massive grassroots’ movement to purge these officials from their leadership positions (and bring them to justice).


Sadly, I think the majority of the world population will never reach the conclusion that our trusted experts and authorities are hopelessly captured or corrupt.

There are two psychological reasons for this:

1. Knowing that the people with power absolutely do not have the public's best interest in mind is an unpleasant feeling, easier to suppress than to admit.
2. Knowing that they themselves went along the worst crime against humanity ever (the injection mandates) is yet more uncomfortable, especially if they pressured or ostracized relatives to take the unsafe injection.

Any government so willing to weaponize one national crisis after another in order to expand its powers and justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security will not hesitate to override the Constitution and lockdown the nation again.

You’d better get ready, because that so-called crisis could be anything: civil unrest, national emergencies, “unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters.”

COVID-19 was a test to see how quickly the populace would march in lockstep with the government’s dictates, no questions asked, and how little resistance the citizenry would offer up to the government’s power grabs when made in the name of national security.

“We the people” failed that test spectacularly.

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/mathiness-instills-confidence


adding “mathiness” to an abstract caused people to rate it more highly in inverse proportion to how much they knew about math and models. ...

this seems to be a VERY pronounced effect and it gets worse the less expert in math you are.

i’d wager this effect gets even worse amongst liberal arts majors without advanced degrees… (this was not studied here)

the science crowd actually trusted “mathiness” perhaps a bit less than a study without it (not stat sig). but humanities loved it and educators etc really ate it up.

boy, that sure explains a lot about covid, covid models, and who went nuts trusting what, doesn’t it?

it also likely explains a great deal about why so many humanities majors and educators are convinced by the mathiness of global warming models and why far fewer who actually work in the hard sciences (apart from those whose grants depend upon it) are.

My Speech at the U.S. Senate

MATTIAS DESMET

Last Monday, I had the honor of being invited by US Senator Ron Johnson to engage in a panel discussion held at the U.S. Senate, titled ‘Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?'. ...

Kant believed the tradition of Enlightenment would produce a new citizen who could think for himself, but until now, the opposite turns out to be true: it produced the ideal citizen of the totalitarian state, which Hannah Arendt defined as a citizen who cannot distinguish between reality and fiction.

After the communist and fascist totalitarianism of the twentieth century, we currently witness the emergence of a technocratic and transhumanist totalitarianism. It manifest in the typical way totalitarianism does: as a diabolic pact between the elite and the masses. ...

The rationalist view on man and the world also had some unexpected psychological effects at the level of the population: the focus on rationally understanding the outward appearance of phenomena alienated people from inner experiencing and the ethical dimension of life and disconnected the human being from its fellow human beings and from nature around it.

These two evolutions, the emergence of an elite that uses propaganda and a lonely and disconnected population, reinforced each other. The lonely state is exactly the state in which a population is particularly vulnerable for propaganda. In this way, a new kind of masses or crowds emerged throughout the last two centuries: the so-called lonely masses. This process of mass-formation makes people radically incapable of taking a critical distance of the narratives spread through media, it makes them radically willing to self-sacrifice and it makes them radically intolerant for dissonant voices (think about the aggressive censorships of dissonant voices during the coronacrisis and throughout the 2020 US elections).

As society falls prey to propaganda, it becomes ever more clear that there is an urgent need for what the ancient Greeks called Parrhesia or sincere speech. From a psychological point of view, it can be argued crystal clear that Truth Speech both inhibits mass-formation (and hence also totalitarian systems which are always based on mass-formation) and the root cause of mass-formation, which is the disconnectedness and loneliness.

This is the point I make: it’s time for a metaphysical revolution, a revolution, which, essentially, at the psychological level, boils down to this: the switch from a society ruled by lonely masses in the grip of propaganda to a society guided by a group united through sincere speech.
