A day's honest work can do wonders for the mind, heart, and soul. And there is always honest work to do. Sometimes we have to look for it. I am 79 years old and spent yesterday preparing the spring garden.

And thanks for the many "likes." My message to all who fear: "The Sun also rises...." Blessings to all.

Doing the next (honest) thing is always helpful when one is trying to avoid the Cliffs of Insanity. It keeps us grounded and focused on that which we do have agency over as opposed to that which is being controlled for us.

This is the cure for all that ails us. Of that I am certain. Nature is medicine.

Literally ten minutes after discussing exactly this with my wife and some friends, all of us noticed your post.

Well, here we go. Thank you for the post, it summarizes everything succinctly. I'll share it as broadly as I can.

This is already the Lentiest Lent that ever Lented.

The line about people's personalities being assembled from adverts for our system really resonated with me. Just over two years ago I had an argument (if you could even call it that) with a friend of 25 years and his wife, ostensibly caused by his disagreement with something I'd written on my blog, but neither of them could say exactly what it was I'd said that they didn't like, and their own 'opinions' were little more than slogans and headlines, eg. 'Putin is a dictator', 'trans rights' etc.

The worst part of it is that they started this argument in a pub, and everyone around us also took their side, even though their side consisted of nothing. I often think of that argument and whether any of those people have realised anything since then about what they think they believe.

Emotions are strong. That's their way in. We saw it all during Covid. People couldn't say why they were so insistent you get jabbed except some guy on TV said so. Everyone is doing it.

They have Not realized anything, hence the polarization. I’ve lost friends over the same thing that happened to you, it doesn’t take much.

Especially those who believed the covid narrative and took the shot and bingo no pandemic and the shot is poison

ElleSD's avatar

My 80 year old father in law called to urge us to get the shot because the TV told him it was a pandemic of the unvaccinated and he was worried about us. My husband said, "Dad don't worry, that's just propaganda. Their lying. Don't you see the brought to you by Pfizer ads?" My FIL said, " I don't think the new lies. Why would they lie?" My husband considered attempting to red pill him, but figured if he made it to 80 that clueless, might as well leave him there. He took all his shots plus boosters galore and now has a rare lung disease and on very expensive drugs for the rest of his life. I'd call that a pharma success story. He doesn't speak to us anymore. 😔

I’ve noticed increasing coldness and aloofness in casual encounters. I’ve wondered about them because they seemed unprecedented and without cause. Your essay makes me wonder if what I’m noticing isn’t an instinctive self-preservation response.

A lot of people, like myself, are really worried for others who cannot see what's going on. This is going to hit them so hard they will not know where to turn. As a Targeted Individual, I have been in preparation for at least 25 years. The last 8 years has been particularly tough as I have been only sporadically employed. For some reason I continue to be able to pay the mortgage, but not sure for how much longer that will be the case. When people finally wake up it will be chaos in the streets.

Could be self-preservation, it could be some people are concerned for their fellow man, it could be some are so upset with the current administration for the hoodwinking. I've got a little bit of all three. When I see my fellow Catholic friends still clinging to "President Trump is the best POTUS ever!" and, "Iran was about to have nukes! We had to go bomb them to protect our interests!", and "There's no genocide in Gaza, what are you talking about?", I see how brainwashed they are, which makes me angry at the administration. I see them defending the actions of madmen - two seriously deranged madmen bent on destroying the Western society.

Honestly, the West has been destroyed already for decades upon decades, but it was hidden from view. Now it's coming into the light. We are in the throes of last dying breaths of the Era. The very end of the current Era is going to be extremely painful for everyone. We will be wholly dependent upon Jesus for our survival. It might be by His Mercy that we don't physically survive what's coming, as long as we keep the Faith.

Deborah Elwood's avatar

So well put and I also fear the reaction when their denial no longer works. I've even been called brainwashed by a friend who hangs on every word out of Sean Hannity's mouth. I know they are scared, but I think willful ignorance is a type of sin.

It’s also the effects of especially convjd vaxx ( all are bad. Vaxx theory is propped up by viral/germ/orangutan king louis/gene/Freudian theories aka the real conspiracy theories) and pills and chem trails and poisoned food and water and air and years of other CIA/DOD/MI5/Mosaad/etc propaganda. And everything else MKULTRA HAARP and on it goes. Prayer to our Heavenly Father and wise action is everything. This is all just another Goliath. He mocked the people too and got taken out. Fast. We are alive on the earth now gif a reason. We have been sent for such a time as this and are capable of dealing with it all.

"Some of us were less deceived, is all." Amen. There are none rigteous, no, not one. A lot of people will need help. We can help them and direct them to meaning and purpose in Jesus Christ. We can share food, tools, and build again. This is not the end. And if it is, well, we win anyway.

HBruce's avatar

Jesus said that the prince of this world was satan and that he is the father of lies. He said that he was the Way, the Truth and the Life. So the only way through this disclosure of mass deception is to trust in the one who said He is the Truth.

Retired Librarian's avatar

I lost a meaningful job and many "friends" over the vax. I've also known, for quite some time, how the scale of deception we live under is breathtaking. Still standing from hard times in recent years...turns out they might have been a gift. Thanks for another fine piece.

A few of us were woken up to reality a few years ago. Speaking for myself, I am not smart enough to have cottoned on to what is now as clear as day. I was woken up by 'someone else' for a reason, i.e. to help those still slumbering.

As to who that 'someone else' is I will leave up to the individual to decide. But think. Are you so clever that you figured it all out without any help?

This article speaks the truth.

Hum, I will consider being nice but no promises. After all I am from Scottish roots and I told you so is in the marrow of my bones.

Also, these people use their prerogative to fuck a lot of people. Now it turns out that they were on the wrong side are you want me to let them off the hook?

Thanks for writing and brightening up my day!

I do think you're underestimating the dynamic 'nature' of change in the human socio-political spheres. In the sense I believe the best anyone who is in the process of waking up (category which includes, like you wrote, all of us in the broader sense, as we all, by mere fact of existing in modernity, are part of the deception, and by degrees we're more or less awake and learning everyday) is to chart an independent and self sufficient course, resilience, if possible create networks and communities with like-minded people with common values, and most importantly, and then learn to dodge, to be patient.

I keep repeating this theme of learning to dodge because things won't fall apart from one day to the next. We most certainly will have weeks when decades happen, like Clif High forewarned people will be overwhelmed by the shock of discovery, but the system and everyone caught up in it, just like during the phony sickness, will become the theater of the absurd. And in those circumstances the absolute worst thing anyone can do, when things like mob rules rears its ugly face, is to actively fight or oppose the system. The system will search for scapegoats, as its always done. And so the best thing is to observe it at arms length and avoid getting dragged into the center of the torrent.

We're all underestimating how deep the rot of the fairytale Alice in wonderland world of ideas is.

Very early on, before the VAX was developed and released, did others see news reports, think they were from Italy, with frantic people pleading with us to listen to them because it’s (COVID) coming for us too? One woman, if memory serves correctly, described how the body of her dead brother couldn’t be removed from their home due to a lockdown or panicked situation.

Did I believe her, why wouldn’t I?

When taking my evening walks I would walk up into people’s lawns to distance from others because I literally feared that I might cause someone, and/or their pet to die if I even breathed on them!

I have two BA’s from two different universities. I guess I was just a trusting idiot who sincerely loved people and animals.

And sadly in those days I didn’t even realize that Bergoglio was leading the “ape of a church” and I actually believed him when he said getting the VAX was an act of love.

Frank is right, tread gently with the “I told you so”. . .

Here is how I think about it. My family in NY who all were glued to the TV were scared and all believed there was something to be feared. They were paralyzed by fear. They couldn't wait for the vaccine to save them.

I live in the south and didn't turn on the pandemic propaganda news not once. Everything was fine and normal down here. Most people were unaware anything was even happening until you went into the grocery store and encountered the TV watchers. You could tell they were TV watchers because they had masks or face shields. We were suddenly reminded that there was a mind virus spreading and it was coming from the TV. To avoid the mind virus one only need to turn off the TV.

I tried to explain this to my family in NY but they wouldn't listen. They believed the TV and not me.

What we witnessed was a normal flu season with a Hollywood PR budget. Basically the movie Contagion played out in real life. They went all in up in NY. They brought in trucks as mobile morgue. The news really put on the show and the death ticker everywhere was a constant driving reminder of death looming. The psychological warfare they inflicted on people was physically harmful. I believe the fear alone caused people to die. Fear is contagious as is hysteria.

Early on in the plandemic Contagion movie in NY there were a few medical professionals that killed themselves. I believe the families thought it was because they couldn't help people and that made them distraught. In retrospect, I believe it was because, they weren't allowed to help people. They saw the "protocol" being used and realized something was wrong. They were told to stand down and let a respiratory virus go untreated, which was all part of the psychological warfare to increase deaths to rachett up the fear.

I share all of this because how fearful one was and how scary it all was, was directly correlated to the amount of media one consumed. Without the media theatrics nothing was wrong. People weren't dropping dead around us in the south and we trusted our eyes, ears and senses over what the media was telling us. I tried to warn others but the media had them in their clutches.

Turn off the TV and go outside in nature was my advice. They were too fearful to stop paying attention. They all took the shot too. The propaganda worked on them all. 😥

LittleWing's avatar

People had such different experiences. Many of our workplaces were closed. I was afraid of possibly infecting others even though I was never diagnosed with the virus. It was a terrifying time for so many bewildered people.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. Please take good care.

ElleSD's avatar

Exactly and if it was a real pandemic I believe we wouldn't have had such different experiences. The reason why our experiences were different because it was largely a political pysop used for another reason.

Are you familiar with Denis Rancourt's All Cause Mortality Data work? His work shows that there has never been a true "pandemic" and that all cause mortality data shows that spikes in all cause mortality is linked to social upheavals like wars, heatwaves, etc., but not infectious diseases like we have been feared to believe. It is a very interesting and empowering read and presents a hard to refute argument because all cause mortality data is not political. It is just raw data and data tells the story.

You might be interested in reading his essay on that topic here:

https://denisrancourt.ca/entries.php?id=130&name=2023_06_22_there_was_no_pandemic_essay

The essay is based on my May 17, 2023 testimony for the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) in Ottawa, CanadaHere is an excerpt:

"In addition to critical reviews of published science, the main data that my collaborators and I analyse is all‑cause mortality.

All-cause mortality by time (day, week, month, year, period), by jurisdiction (country, state, province, county), and by individual characteristics of the deceased (age, sex, race, living accomodations) is the most reliable data for detecting and epidemiologically characterizing events causing death, and for gauging the population-level impact of any surge or collapse in deaths from any cause.

Such data is not susceptible to reporting bias or to any bias in attributing causes of death. We have used it to detect and characterize seasonality, heat waves, earthquakes, economic collapses, wars, population aging, long-term societal development, and societal assaults such as those occurring in the COVID period, in many countries around the world, and over recent history, 1900-present.

Interestingly, none of the post-second-world-war Centers-for-Disease-Control-and-Prevention-promoted (CDC‑promoted) viral respiratory disease pandemics (1957-58, “H2N2”; 1968, “H3N2”; 2009, “H1N1 again”) can be detected in the all‑cause mortality of any country. Unlike all the other causes of death that are known to affect mortality, these so‑called pandemics did not cause any detectable increase in mortality, anywhere."

and

"My first report analysing all-cause mortality was published on June 2, 2020, at censorship-prone Research Gate, and was entitled “All-cause mortality during COVID-19 - No plague and a likely signature of mass homicide by government response”. It showed that hot spots of sudden surges in all‑cause mortality occurred only in specific locations in the Northern-hemisphere Western World, which were synchronous with the March 11, 2020 declaration of a pandemic. Such synchronicity is impossible within the presumed framework of a spreading viral respiratory disease, with or without airplanes, because the calculated time from seeding to mortality surge is highly dependent on local societal circumstances, by several months to years. I attributed the excess deaths to aggressive measures and hospital treatment protocols known to have been applied suddenly at that time in those localities.

The work was pursued in greater depth with collaborators for several years and continues. We have shown repeatedly that excess mortality most often refused to cross national borders and inter-state lines. The invisible virus targets the poor and disabled and carries a passport. It also never kills until governments impose socio-economic and care-structure transformations on vulnerable groups within the domestic population.

Here are my conclusions, from our detailed studies of all-cause mortality in the COVID period, in combination with socio-economic and vaccine-rollout data:

If there had been no pandemic propaganda or coercion, and governments and the medical establishment had simply gone on with business as usual, then there would not have been any excess mortality:

There was no pandemic causing excess mortality

Measures caused excess mortality

COVID-19 vaccination caused excess mortality"

I hope you will read it and let me know your thoughts.

I'm not so sure: I've chatted about this with a pretty wide variety of people irl and the seem almost relieved, like they knew something was wrong with the external system and had previously blamed themselves instead.

If it is going to be openly, obviously, stupidly evil it makes things easier.

Frank Wright's avatar

Good. People who suspect will be relieved- the less deceived. Those most endangered are the people who consider accurate descriptions of reality a wacky conspiracy theory. Etc
