The worst part about all this, for me anyway, was (and is) the ostracization and the vilification. People I have known for years accusing me of being a right wing internet troll because I questioned the narrative. This despite the fact that I have worked on dozens of drug and medical device liability cases involving drug companies and have earned my skepticism. At this point there is no coming back. In the beginning I wanted to explain to everyone about how we were being manipulated but was met with derision (except by my more conservative friends who might not have agreed but were open to discussing) I'm through with people who cannot think for themselves and who want to prevent those of us who can from doing so.
I know, right? Especially now the same people who proved they would throw a proportion of people under the bus now seem to be just wanting us all to get on with it and move on. How? I don't know how to move on, when I now know the vast majority of people will jump to be casual fascists when the coercion"s right.
Well, to be fair, it's not as though conservatives are all free thinkers themselves. Everyone's got a cult, no matter how they want to name it to disguise its true nature.
Thanks Michael for reminding us the unvaccinated of proud we should feel about our decision to remain vaccine free. What courage, mental fortitude and critical thinking it took to say NO when the majority complied for their own reasons.
Excellent article. What I recognized during the Covid insanity is that people have behaved is the same as the way they behave at work. I used to work as a computer programmer in an insurance office. Management really didn't know what they were doing but they often insisted that the staff come in to work on the weekend to work on a on-going project that really looked as if it were going to fail. And people would come in and work. I they were afraid of getting fired. But a few of us refused to sacrifice our weekends for nothing. I suppose we could have gotten fired, but we never did.
What I am trying to say is that most people are used to obeying authority. And then there are the few others who won't unless it makes sense to them. Is this because people are used to the insanity of modern office work? Or is this something innate where most people go along with authority no matter what the issue? Group think vs. individualism?
I have had similar work experiences. And we were temps so these were not great gigs and there was always another one around the corner. Used to call my co-workers scared chickens. Needless to say, I was not that popular...
That hasn't been my experience. Yes, I would get flak but that was about as far as it went. It depends on the company. Tech workers are often given some slack because they are considered to be oddballs.
The only time I got let go was when the company I worked at decided to do layoffs and they dumped a ton of people. They gave everybody a Performance Improvement Plan and they fixed it so nobody can succeed. I was at a pharma company but PIPs are used all over Silicon Valley. I knew the ax was coming and I would have quit, but I needed the unemployment money so I stuck around. As far as I know, they didn't deny anyone unemployment.
In addition, to get back to my main point, the "essential workers", the people who had to go into work in the earliest days of the Covid "pandemic", often were not in jobs that allowed them a lot of mobility. But for whatever reason, maybe just because they were working out in the world, many of them knew that the Covid restrictions were a bunch of nonsense. The people who flipped out about Covid tended to be in well-paying jobs and tended to have more mobility and more choices about where and when to work. They were largely the ones that respected authority and were very harsh with people who disobeyed the "rules". Why the difference?
Because for the laptop class following the rules has generally been advantageous. People in white collar office jobs got to not only keep those jobs but also work from home. Win/win. From that perspective they can't understand why everyone won't just follow the rules.
For me the most upsetting and disturbing part of Covidmania (not to mention Trumpmania and Floydmania) is that it really answered one of the main questions we've been asking about humanity since WW2, which is the question of the Good German.
We've all been immersed in the books and documentaries that show all those cheering Germans happily Heil Hitlering and kicking the nearest Jew, and then the narrator solemnly intones: How could such a sophisticated educated population not only swallow but absolutely worship such a demented hateful ideology?
But now we know: 9 out of 10 people will obediently follow any law, practice, or line of thought or dogma if their peer group is doing the same. When a mass movement or mass panic comes along it will sweep away all in its path like a hurricane, except for the few things sufficiently grounded.
And, if you think the educated professional class will be of any help--they're even worse! Once someone works their whole life for a specific career, jumps through every hoop, has their entire identity based in their job title, if they are forced to choose between their career and all its perks and status vs. flimsy abstractions like truth, honesty, integrity, maybe 9.5 out of 10 will always choose to maintain status no matter what.
As our man Friedrich said: "When 100 stand together, all of them lose their minds and acquire different ones."
Very true, and sums up why I will never, EVER trust a doctor again. It is now clear one is speaking to a pharmaceutical representative, or at the very least one who toes the line of such an organization in order to keep their 'license'.
Which in turn is all the more reason to do away with the entire concept of state licensing.
Love this bit: "The unvaccinated were vilified not because they were dangerous, but because they were free." The vaccine fanatics actually believed they gained some freedom there for a while. Nope, the vaxxed only got some temporary privilege in a vaccine regime that was clearly unsustainable in the long run, and the unvaccinated always knew this.
They hated the unvaccinated for remaining true to their ideals, and they hated themselves for having thrown away all their values.
true. it was also jealousy. they couldn't handle it when we just went about our daily lives as best we could, unmuzzled and with undamaged immune systems, while they muzzled up and based their entire lives on fear, and took the kill shots and then all got sick. and then they blamed us when all their vaxxed friends started dying.
So glad I discovered Mr. Senger on EpochTV. What he taught me is the best explanation of how our world REACTED to Covid. I'm a physician and have found COVID to be the most psychologically traumatizing event I've ever experienced. I remember feeling the whole world had gone mad. I remember being publicly criticized and shamed for my conclusions about the virus, the safety and efficacy of vaccines, masks etc. I came to the conclusion that most people are ignorant and unhealthy. I harbor no bitterness or resentment. I have found wonderful work as a physician again (after leaving my previous job). I am in a way grateful for COVID b/c it has woken me and others up to the cancer that has insidiously crept into our country and the world for the past years and I am hopeful we will bring new life to our enlightenment values, our democracy and our constitution. I am reminded of the quote by Napoleon Hill that "every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit".
It is really so much easier to deflect responsibility of what happened to "those in power". Just like the germans deflected: "It was hitler! Not me... I was just a regular guy...".
The problem of going along with "it's the elite's fault" narrative is that it prevents regular people who supported all these measures from taking responsibility for the support that they gave to these actions. And it was only this support that made these actions possible. These people who deflect responsibility will simply never learn.
Once again, just look at what germans and austrians did in the name of covid. It is like... surprisingly... they never learned, right?
A certain proportion of the population are hysterical hyper-sheep, determined to live in an environment that is as totalitarian as possible and make everyone else submit as well. It is primal, stereotyped behavior for them. They all instinctively act and speak the same way, and form easily into mobs to swarm and cancel anyone who triggers them. These people all fit the 'slave mentality' paradigm. They are the ones whose currency is power. People with the 'will to power' don't necessarily wish to rule over others just for the sake of having power. To the extent they hold power, it is to achieve something, or to keep their independence, not to have power for its own sake.
Hi Michael - your supreme sense of frustration, indignation, and perhaps even rage, at the tyranny of Xi Jinping's Covid-19 policy responses, which were used globally for one of the greatest heists in history, comes through in your words. I for one share your revulsion and outrage at everything Covid. And I have often felt disappointment and anger at the useful idiots I am surrounded by every day that have willingly, obediently and without any critical thought gone along with every step of this hideousness. I think the part that annoys me the most is the utter blindess of those who have not been hurt by this, the 'essential workers', to the devastation it has taken on the lives of the people around them. They are blind and ignorant. We are seeing lots of articles popping up about how much money that big pharma has made. But there is little written about the real crime of Covid - the wealth transfer that is taking place under our noses. Here in Thailand the wealthy, both local and foreign, are snapping up distressed assets left, right and center. And the banks are holding back a tsunami of bankrupt clients with zero interest rates, and 'asset wharehousing' - and when it runs out next year there will be a wave of bankruptcies, which will be a fire sale and a wealth transfer. This is one of the silent and biggest crimes of the Covid-cartel, the fascists at the top of the world who put this together have been using it to strip wealth from a large chunk of humanity through both the public and the private sectors. It outdoes what the Nazis did in their plundering during WW2 by a factor of likely tens of thousands. Ah, I rant once again, because the rage at the injustice of it all is so great I can't leave it alone.
Just go out and travel. You will see 10-15% of the population in some areas are still wearing Facial Fear Diapers. They turned happily into slaves and don’t know why.
In parts of San Francisco, it's even higher than that. I live in a neighborhood where many of the residents (and people who come to shop) are Chinese. It's changed a little, but outside masking is still around 80%. And there are restaurants here who won't let you eat inside without a vax pass. No government is requiring that anymore. I think it's illegal discrimination and always has been but I guess we need to wait for a court ruling someday.
Where I live it is similar. Most still wear masks. People launch into spontaneous tirades about the evil-unvaccinated. If unvaccinated had to identify themselves (like with a yellow star armband for eg), I have no doubt I would be pelted with rotten tomatoes or worse and have my house (and my dog) targeted. Clearly I am living in a part of town that is not in sync with my own views. But I am aware that other sections of the city are quite different and not like this, I just happen to be in this 'zone'. not fun though.
Exactly! Plus I am in excellent health because I actually take personal responsibility for my own health (imagine!). The more I read about the physiological effects of these 'products', the clearer it becomes that they have the potential to do massive harm in numerous ways.
That sucks! Used to live in true NoCal (north of Sacramento) and long considered SFO to be my favorite city. Not any more for a long while now. When you breed and import communists socialism in local mindset happens. Lots of slaves in SF and they don’t even realize it.
I think many of the young people here really believe a lot of that crap, unfortunately. It turns out that 45% of people voted against the Boudin recall because a lot of those fell for the nonsense rhetoric. There are also people here who are still trying to relive the 60s and really don't understand what is at stake. At least the Chinese community voted to toss out Boudin.
I learned many things, including, to my astonishment, how gullible so many people are, willing to go along with complete nonsense, like masking, 6-foot distancing, school and small business closures and their willingness to inject untested drugs into their bodies. Also, the complete shameless hypocrisy of the left in not standing up to the principles they claimed to defend, too many for me to list here.
I’m not hated because I’m dangerous, I’m hated because I’m free. Thank you for putting into words what I knew was the case but haven’t been able to articulate to others. The interesting thing is that I don’t find myself justifying my choices anymore because everyone has stopped talking about the mandates. The cognitive dissonance is deafening!
Incredible article, thank you. I have been slowly healing from the vilification, and sometimes the hurt and disappointment and bitterness still arises.
The one idea I think is not fully true is that the vaccinated mob disliked the unvaccinated because "we are free". I think this is partly true, but it doesn't nearly tell the full story. The vaccinated were afraid; their survival fear response was activated which made the unvaccinated a threat. What arises in people with survival threats? Annihilating hatred, anger and judgment.
I think you are right about the fear aspect. But what I really struggle with is the idea that so many people could be so stupid to believe that 18 months into a 'pandemic' suddenly unvaccinated healthy people without any signs of a disease could be a vector for a disease, and one that was already well proven to be no worse than the flu. That they listened to the rhetoric of vulgar politicians, and believe propaganda in the media, that was so clearly rubbish is beyond my ability to comprehend, and I struggle with the idea of letting them off the hook for it. Like you I often feel the bitterness of it, but mostly my anger is directed towards the architects of it all - they are there in plain sight, and due to the unprecedented, and unimaginable levels of corruption they are getting away with it.
I agree. It's hard to believe that people could be so stupid isn't it, and miss all the red flags. Yeah, the corruption is truly mindblowing.
I witnessed good educated people beleiving the narrative all around me. I live in the Bay area, CA and am part of a spiritual community made up of mostly educated middle and upper class people. Most all of them took this injection and did not question the narrative much at all. They have an underlying belief in the CDC, and the safety of the injection because it's called "a vaccine". They have poor media literacy skills and don't look at source material for themselves. They have never been aware of propaganda techniques before so didn't know how to recognize them. They are mostly liberal and thought it was conservatives who wouldn't believe "the science" because of qanon and conspiracy. They have an ignorance born of real naivete about how this country and institutions with power and money work. It never affected them negatively before, so they never had the opportunity to wake up to it.
I think people believed that unvaccinated people could be a vector for disease because most people don't understand basic biology. They were told constantly that way more unvaccinated people were getting sick. This, combined with the icky feelings for unvaxxed folks (we don't care about others, we take horse dewormer) gave a vague negative conscious and subconscious impression that we are infected.
My spiritual community is starting a community living project. I might have considered it before the pandemic, but there is no way I would live with them now! I love them, but I do not want to be stuck with people who aren't aware of what is happening. Like you say about struggling to let them off the hook, there's a level now in which I don't trust the people I've been closest to for the past 20 years. 😐
Luckily I found a wonderful group of unvaxxed friends in my area.
p.s. keep tabs on my blog Unfiltered Insights I have some good exposes coming up about China - how they cured people with early treatments, ending the pandemic, and how every policy comes out of China - even the 'anyone with Covid-19 gets no visitors.'
I think you summed up nicely what has been happening in every country in the world.
And it certainly describes my experience. It is like the liberals have been lulling humanity into a false sense of security and trust for more than 50 years - And then out came the closet Marxists and fascists and have attacked those who rejected their lies so brutally the liberals think those calling out the pseudo-science are anti-science. It's nuts.
Like you I have lost faith and trust in a lot of people - as so many of us have.
The one upside is like you again I have found so many wonderful people through this war that they help keep me sane in an insane world.
I wonder if some of it has been generated by a mass media that pits groups against one another, causing each to get more extreme in reaction to one another.
If you look across the media spectrum you can divide it into 2 big groups - one group is fighting back against the pseudo-science, and this is usually the non-liberal media, and the non-multinationals.
If you then study the mass media companies that have from the start promoted the Covid-19 policies of Xi Jinping (did you see my article on this while you were reading my articles?) -then this is what you find:
1. It is the liberal legacy media companies
2. They are all mass media, multinational media companies, e.g. CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, the Guardian, etc. or Internet based magazines which are liberal e.g. Politico, The Atlantic etc...
3. These all companies that are usually owned by companies which are 1. Either doing business in China eg. CNN is owned by AT&T, 2. owned by the swamp of global investmre ent companies that are part of the World Economic Forum - e.g Vanguard and Blackrock - which allows them to appoint the board of directors and control the policies - woke Twitter is a great example of that.
4. The media companies that are getting funding or advertising dollars from the Davos billiionaires and their foundations -e.g. Bill Gates has for years funded the public health section of the BBC
5. Media companies that are getting most of their advertising income from big pharma companies and the Chinese Communist Party
6. These media companies have been supportive of China, sought to protect China - e.g. the virus didn't come from the Wuhan lab, and generally overlook stories unfavorable to China - e.g. that it is ramping up its war machine as we speak
These are the key factors. All roads lead to the Davos billionaires, the World Economic Forum and China's CCP.
And what do they all have in common - they want global governance and the Great Reset.
So they have deliberately divided American's especially since the Occupy Wall Street movement shook them up.
This is a great little summary you just wrote, thank you! Yes, these media companies are multinational, have different investors, have different corporate products other than media, they want all markets open to these products, which also have investors. What a tangled web! Black Rock and Vanguard own everything. Sovereign national governments are the fly that keeps buzzing around, preventing total freedom to use their power as they wish.
I subscribe to your substat, I don't think I read the China stack yet.
Brilliant post. What's amazing to me during times of great division is how we all forget that a huge majority of us all agree on most things! Most of us all just want to have a happy life, roof over our heads, a decent meal or two every day, the love of our friends and family, and to be left alone. In reality, politicians and social engineers along with the media have to work extremely hard to keep us divided. Division is the best weapon in their arsenal and it works every single time. Until we finally realize that the petty issues keeping us divided really are petty, we will never climb out of the hole we have dug ourselves into.
The worst part about all this, for me anyway, was (and is) the ostracization and the vilification. People I have known for years accusing me of being a right wing internet troll because I questioned the narrative.

I don't know how to move on, when I now know the vast majority of people will jump to be casual fascists when the coercion"s right.
Censorship always accompanies fascism.
Well, to be fair, it's not as though conservatives are all free thinkers themselves. Everyone's got a cult, no matter how they want to name it to disguise its true nature.
Not everyone. When most everyone is in the cult, those outside that cult become the cult.
Thanks Michael for reminding us the unvaccinated of proud we should feel about our decision to remain vaccine free. What courage, mental fortitude and critical thinking it took to say NO when the majority complied for their own reasons.

If you ain't the alpha pair, you pay dearly, always, for disobedience.
That hasn't been my experience. Yes, I would get flak but that was about as far as it went. It depends on the company. Tech workers are often given some slack because they are considered to be oddballs.

You had a portable skill and perhaps your circumstances allow a lot of mobility. Most people don't have either of those advantages.
In addition, to get back to my main point, the "essential workers", the people who had to go into work in the earliest days of the Covid "pandemic", often were not in jobs that allowed them a lot of mobility. But for whatever reason, maybe just because they were working out in the world, many of them knew that the Covid restrictions were a bunch of nonsense.

It was all Pantsuit Nation and its fellow travelers.
True. But the people who worked weekends at my company were also programmers so they had the same "advantages" that I had.

I agree. It's hard to believe that people could be so stupid isn't it, and miss all the red flags. Yeah, the corruption is truly mindblowing.
I witnessed good educated people beleiving the narrative all around me. I live in the Bay area, CA and am part of a spiritual community made up of mostly educated middle and upper class people. Most all of them took this injection and did not question the narrative much at all. They have an underlying belief in the CDC, and the safety of the injection because it's called "a vaccine". They have poor media literacy skills and don't look at source material for themselves. They have never been aware of propaganda techniques before so didn't know how to recognize them. They are mostly liberal and thought it was conservatives who wouldn't believe "the science" because of qanon and conspiracy. They have an ignorance born of real naivete about how this country and institutions with power and money work. It never affected them negatively before, so they never had the opportunity to wake up to it.
I think people believed that unvaccinated people could be a vector for disease because most people don't understand basic biology. They were told constantly that way more unvaccinated people were getting sick. This, combined with the icky feelings for unvaxxed folks (we don't care about others, we take horse dewormer) gave a vague negative conscious and subconscious impression that we are infected.
My spiritual community is starting a community living project. I might have considered it before the pandemic, but there is no way I would live with them now! I love them, but I do not want to be stuck with people who aren't aware of what is happening. Like you say about struggling to let them off the hook, there's a level now in which I don't trust the people I've been closest to for the past 20 years. 😐
Luckily I found a wonderful group of unvaxxed friends in my area.
p.s. keep tabs on my blog Unfiltered Insights I have some good exposes coming up about China - how they cured people with early treatments, ending the pandemic, and how every policy comes out of China - even the 'anyone with Covid-19 gets no visitors.'

Cool, I didn't know they were using early treatments! I look forward to hearing more about it. 😊
Great. Are you on my subscriber list yet?
Yes, now I am. 👍🏽
I think you summed up nicely what has been happening in every country in the world.
And it certainly describes my experience. It is like the liberals have been lulling humanity into a false sense of security and trust for more than 50 years - And then out came the closet Marxists and fascists and have attacked those who rejected their lies so brutally the liberals think those calling out the pseudo-science are anti-science. It's nuts.
Like you I have lost faith and trust in a lot of people - as so many of us have.
The one upside is like you again I have found so many wonderful people through this war that they help keep me sane in an insane world.
So true what you write about liberals. 😐
I wonder if some of it has been generated by a mass media that pits groups against one another, causing each to get more extreme in reaction to one another.
Yes, you are 100% on the money.
If you look across the media spectrum you can divide it into 2 big groups - one group is fighting back against the pseudo-science, and this is usually the non-liberal media, and the non-multinationals.
If you then study the mass media companies that have from the start promoted the Covid-19 policies of Xi Jinping (did you see my article on this while you were reading my articles?) -then this is what you find:
1. It is the liberal legacy media companies
2. They are all mass media, multinational media companies, e.g. CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, the Guardian, etc. or Internet based magazines which are liberal e.g. Politico, The Atlantic etc...
3. These all companies that are usually owned by companies which are 1. Either doing business in China eg. CNN is owned by AT&T, 2. owned by the swamp of global investmre ent companies that are part of the World Economic Forum - e.g Vanguard and Blackrock - which allows them to appoint the board of directors and control the policies - woke Twitter is a great example of that.
4. The media companies that are getting funding or advertising dollars from the Davos billiionaires and their foundations -e.g. Bill Gates has for years funded the public health section of the BBC
5. Media companies that are getting most of their advertising income from big pharma companies and the Chinese Communist Party
6. These media companies have been supportive of China, sought to protect China - e.g. the virus didn't come from the Wuhan lab, and generally overlook stories unfavorable to China - e.g. that it is ramping up its war machine as we speak
These are the key factors. All roads lead to the Davos billionaires, the World Economic Forum and China's CCP.
And what do they all have in common - they want global governance and the Great Reset.
So they have deliberately divided American's especially since the Occupy Wall Street movement shook them up.
Not pretty.
This is a great little summary you just wrote, thank you! Yes, these media companies are multinational, have different investors, have different corporate products other than media, they want all markets open to these products, which also have investors. What a tangled web! Black Rock and Vanguard own everything. Sovereign national governments are the fly that keeps buzzing around, preventing total freedom to use their power as they wish.
I subscribe to your substat, I don't think I read the China stack yet.
Brilliant post. What's amazing to me during times of great division is how we all forget that a huge majority of us all agree on most things! Most of us all just want to have a happy life, roof over our heads, a decent meal or two every day, the love of our friends and family, and to be left alone. In reality, politicians and social engineers along with the media have to work extremely hard to keep us divided. Division is the best weapon in their arsenal and it works every single time. Until we finally realize that the petty issues keeping us divided really are petty, we will never climb out of the hole we have dug ourselves into.
