Excellent. I probably needed to be admonished with these arguments around the time of my J6/Non-vaccination participation. Most of my family was not on the same page. I am not sure yet if they are coming around…
Rather than endure rows & disagreements, culminating in a bitter end to decades-long friendships, I informed two close friends that I wouldn't be communicating with them again. I feel that this leaves a slender chance of some future reconciliation.
Soon afterwards, at a protest, I bumped into & rekindled my relationship with an old friend. Soon afterwards he introduced me to another friend of his who also became my friend.
I discarded two friends & life immediately replaced them. What's interesting is that the three of us, though in agreement on so many things, can debate multiple subjects, disagreeing & arguing our positions, in stimulating & lively conversation, something I could no longer do with my two former friends, who's views had become problems I had to manage.
As I do not own or use a moron-phone, I am confronted on a daily basis with precisely what you've described here. Constant comments that I am somehow ignorant or a luddite or socially and intellectually isolated as a result, despite indisputable evidence that the exact opposite is true. When I also point out that I am in better health because I actually go to sleep at a respectable time since I'm not doom-scrolling at all hours, I get some non sequitur like, "But I can Venmo cash to my friends." Without exaggeration, I can say that there are people in my life who genuinely despise me not for not having the phone but for aggressively and pointedly not joining them in the cult.
And I appreciate all you do to fight for the Catholic faith.
There is nothing wrong with having a 'Smartphone'. My late husband would not have one, and stopped me from getting one. After his passing, when I was in a very fragile state, I lost my analog mobile phone. Going to Telstra to get another one, I was persuaded to get an upgrade to...yes...a Smartphone. I have not regretted it. In fact, the GPS facility has taken a life-long stress from me as I have a terribly poor sense of direction and get lost at the drop of a hat. I don't doom-scroll, and apart from my dependence on GPS, I only use the phone for making and receiving calls. The internet connection is there when I need it. At those times, it has been a positive, even a heaven-sent asset. The onus is on the user, not the gadget. I don't consider myself a member of a cult, au contraire. I'm benefitting, at my own will and choice, from whatever use I make of this amazing invention.
I have come to the same conclusion in my own, albeit less analytical, way. I benefit from being retired and reclusive and that means I have the enormous advantage of not having close relationships to jeopardise by just speaking openly and honestly, by being myself.
I am a bit depressed by the apolitical stance of some close family members. They seem to be just adopting the attitude of "what can I do about these things": to me that is, to say the least, NOT admirable.
In summary, yes, I agree. Regardless of one's religion or creed I do believe that there, is for most issues, such a thing as absolute truth, absolute right. I try to do it, not always successfully, of course.
It was only a turn of phrase. I certainly would never exclude the fairer gender from intellectual inquiry. As I would also not be unwilling to hear from a left handed truncated head in the sands of Gaza still talking about the incompleteness theorem. I lived about two block away from Catherine Austin Fits, but never knew it. Likely shortened from Fitzsimon, but what do i know.
The phrase "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" from Proverbs 23:7 is often quoted as a stand-alone truth about the power of thought. While this interpretation resonates with modern self-help ideas, the true meaning of this verse is tied to its context, which is part of a warning about dining with a miser or stingy person.
This saying is found within Proverbs 23:6–8, part of a collection of wise sayings from Solomon often referred to as “the sayings of the wise.” These proverbs were compiled to teach wisdom, encourage faith in God, and provide practical guidance for living. Let’s look at the passage in the New King James Version (NKJV): “Do not eat the bread of a miser, nor desire his delicacies; for as he thinks in his heart, so is he. ‘Eat and drink!’ he says to you, but his heart is not with you. The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up, and waste your pleasant words.”
We're all addicts in the liberal order; no man escapes. So, like all addicts, we spend our lives kidding ourselves that we've kicked the habit. That is, until the day you see yourself as an addict and know what you must do.
Nowadays it’s not 'how to properly think' but only' what to think'. Anne Widdecombe at the Oxford Union gave her unapologetic speech for celebrating open debate instead of endorsing censorship. Maybe that was one reason she had to be silenced very sadly.
Living in a small town with a delightful square, we have the “don’t want to think or talk about what goes on in our own country' mentality. Because bombs are not dropping on them, they do the censoring of the reality themselves. The very nice hotel with its bar are policing customer conversations in case the truth gets out . .
I did a bit of a project whilst away from here, asking people what they thought about free speech. The first said it was vital, the second said it was very concerning what was happening. The third said we now have to police our own conversations. That’s doing the censorship job for the controllers instead of themselves doing it .
I discovered on a short Marco Rubio video that communist terrorist violence in the USA is a protected group. Obviously the Fabian types have subversively indoctrinated out there too, covering up the bad stuff by pretending it’s not bad. or not there while they continue to plot. .
It is a societal llusion being created for us to live in. today. I mean, who really believes there is such a thing as a communist‑created utopia for which we must sacrifice our nation, our culture, our history and our values. our self-determination and our money. . And what’s worse, we are meant to sacrifice own ourselves, our brains and the ability to' think' , It is all to be replaced by what we must think .which is either a big fat lie or nothing at all.
Anne Widdecombe had the very comendable combined characteristics of boldness and caring for others .May there be many more like her ,
Where I live in Canada, as far as I can tell, everyone is OK with everything. HR departments run our lives, the rainbow propaganda is posted everywhere, all institutions smugly extoll the ideal of the "cultural mosaic" (which, in practical terms, means Canada becoming a province of India by the end of the century). As long as the electrical grid is reliable, internet is stable, grocery stores are stocked, and Amazon delivers on time, people accept anything. I despise the system, but I am afraid it will only go away by collapsing of its own accord. The pain will have to get a lot worse before we are impelled to do anything.
"Most of us will be familiar with the experience of meeting people who have completely deranged beliefs and who present themselves as normal." You can say that again, Frank. As I wrote in a recent comment, I've been feeling a social exile ever since Operation Covid. But I take heart when you say: Do not destroy your relationships. I've been wearing the mask like an imposter, but it's necessary when you're dealing with captured minds who have no idea they've been captured. Thanks for a great article. Your writing helps retain one's sanity.
I am glad I could help Mr Ericsen. It is difficult but not impossible to remain sane and not suffer social death.
I think it helps to accept people’s limitations and be sympathetic as to why and how people come to base their personalities on mass produced beliefs.
Try not to resent your relative isolation, but instead consider the victory you have won over the rather demonic insanity which has been transmitted into so many of our friends and families disguised as virtue.
Thank you kindly, Mr Wright. I'll keep that victory in mind. It's too easy to slip into resentment and takes some bottle to stay strong. Maybe that's the point, to build a spiritual strength within.
Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto is highly interesting and is available on YouTube as an audiobook. I would strongly recommend checking it out. It only runs for about four and a half hours, so it won’t take up too much of your time.
Ted was, of course, correct about over-socialization—which this post is about—and how people who are severely affected by this condition are incapable of independent thought. They have adopted the authorities as their new god, and they worship them like true believers.
His prediction about the technological society is also spot on, something which is becoming abundantly clear with the rise of AI. The only question that remains now is this:
How long will it take for the machines and those who control them to completely eradicate what we refer to as democracy here in the West?
I personally think everything will be gone in the next fifty to sixty years. Earth will probably become the planet of the AI.
Very interesting that in Nicaragua the other day, President Ortega announced that there would be no more elections - because the opposition might win. And the media were largely silent - as that is their globalist aligned «China model» goal also.

Good for you, I have rid my life of the few energy vampires that were trying to suck me dry. Adios Muchachos.
Outstanding article! Truly outstanding! BRAVO! BRAVO!! You betcha, I’m going to put it on Facebook and Twitter.

Amen to your words Roy .
It's maddening. As you propose not explicitly, but implied- - this is 5th generation warfare.
5th generation warfare is a fight for the fertile ground of the thoughts of men.
They are so easily manipulated.
They are Made out of Meat! ?
But where is the part that does the thinking?
Thoughts of men....no thanks. I will keep my own thank you very much!

Read it again.
I did. Still not an addict.
Wishing you the best.
Same to you.
Genius!

You have made an easy and comprehensive read of our profoundly disturbing and disturbed “ reality “.
Thank you Frank and may God bless you , your work and those you love.
Appreciation from Sydney Australia.
Same here! Appreciation, and thanks, also from Sydney (Bankstown), Australia.
Wow ! That makes two of us 🙏🙏🙏

Wow. Just halfway through and this is brilliant. Thanks, Frank!
So I'm reading a part at a time.
Oh thank you for telling me! I’m very glad to hear you found this useful.
A gripping piece brimming with truth.
