People don’t like to admit they are easily manipulated into believing pure bullshit. They desperately want to cling to the notion they are smart enough to see through the nonsense, and that their leaders and authority figures aren’t actively working against their interests, or their very survival. They are inculcated with a steady diet of propaganda where the good guys are clearly very, very good, and the bad guys are grotesquely evil and monumentally bad, and the population is always on the side of good, even if somewhat imperfectly. Complexity is reduced to sound bites a toddler can grasp, because that’s the attention span of the masses these days.
Hang tight and keep a lookout for new bad developments. That 's essential. The 'Game' AKA 'Life' is rigged. So my belief is that fighting the system only ID's you as a target for the Elites to destroy. I think that whatever we, as individuals, choose to do must be surreptitious. Quiet. low key. 'underground'. I believe that neither Orwell nor Huxley, ever offered solutions. R. Buckminster Fuller said: 'You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete'. I believe that it's a mistake to expect the 'new model' to be a centralized reality. I think that the 'new model' must be totally decentralized. A multitude of new ways that counter the official 'way'. Each person as their own change agent. But under the radar. Stay Safe Everybody...
Perhaps, I could post this essay by Dr Vernon Coleman – a vilified British doctor I have followed for decades. Naturally, it has a British angle but its world-weary despair and criticisms are global.
Talking about sharing the truth with family and friends, I stopped doing that years ago. All I know is I thank God I never fought to defend this society. It isn't worth it.
Dig your take on things, my brother. Keep in mind, some folks either lack the IQ, or are just plain too damn scared (or both) to consider the info you continue to provide. That's where the indifference comes from.
I have been with you for a long, long time now. Am just an old Vietnam vet these days. Love books and writing. I just wish I could climb out of the Amazon basement these days. Can't afford their ads rates, so they buried my Edgar "Doc" Holiday thriller series. Not crying the blues, merely stating a fact.
Keep in mind, you have always been a great inspiration to so many of us. I'd rather die than get the vaccine. And I have members of my family who feel as I do.
It would be nice if someone could get the message to the mighty 'Zon: the vaccine is deadly. Deadly. Get this. They offer peeps (before hiring them) a big bonus if they can show proof of having been vaccinated.
How do we deal with this insanity, man? A big company like this going along with the misinformation put out by our very own government (or should this be: certain fools in government?).
I have to sign off on a positive note, though. Happy New Year to you & yours! You rock. I believe in you, sir. Yes!
Russell, thank you once again for taking us thru the covid hellscape clear fact-by-clear fact. Those who cling to the lie that the covid vax works as advertised are not capable of dealing with the overwhelming feelings of horror, sadness, and self-loathing for their stupidity. The tables are gradually turning --- the insipid maskers and shunners of the unvaxed are the sore thumbs in any setting and tend to have that haunted look in their eyes that maybe, just maybe, they are as stupid as they appear. Those who are shamelessly saying that covid cultists must/should be forgiven 'for they did not know what they were doing' have a very long wait for hell to freeze over.
Thanks again, Russell, for taking the time to spell out truths and for passing on The Burning Platform. When I took my oath in 1952 I had absolute belief in the honesty and integrity of our Pres and gov’t. Naive. Believed what I was taught. How wrong. Took a long time to learn the truth. All international assertions of our good intent are selfish lies for profit. We cause our problems, and then profit therefrom. Most domestic statements are lies for profit. Our federal gov’t is totally corrupt and aggressively defensive when narrative is questioned. On the world stage we operate as an International Criminal Enterprise, by definition, meeting all such legal criteria and solely responsible for millions of civilian deaths and displacements. Objective: Control, which facilitates profit. Our nation lies like Hell and now that includes many MSM sources. Most people simply close their mind to anything questioning official narratives. More comfortable that way.

Thanks, Russell. A worthwhile read.

Happy New Year one and all!

Perfectly grasped commentary as usual, Russell. I wonder how long it will take Fascistbook to ban me for posting it. But post it I will.
If only this were more Blake fiction. This day and age is proof positive that truth is stranger than fiction.
