Most people still don't understand the difference between "cases" and deaths, let alone how abnormal it is to classify a disease as a pandemic based on “asymptomatic cases”.
Most people have no idea how low the threshold is for determining a "case" ("Dude, let's turn it all the way up to 11!" ... a Spinal Tap reference, but really the hilarity comes once a layperson learns how amplification cycles can be increased so much so that the most minuscule trace of a virus particulate is discoverable).
Most people are not aware that the PCR test was NOT designed to measure infection, nor that its inventor — a seemingly cool bloke called Kary Mullis — urged against using it for that purpose.
Most people don't understand anything about the immune system and are therefore quick to dismiss seemingly "outlandish" theories such as germ vs terrain theory.
Most people can't imagine governments might be colluding on a mass scale with corporations and billionaire technocrats, even though they routinely express outrage when the awful and corrupt politicians — it's always the ones they didn't vote for — are caught red-handed doing dodgy stuff with and for obscenely rich people.
Most people do not realize the medical establishment has an agenda that is 100% pushed by Big Pharma.
Most people believe everything mainstream media — which is paid off by the same people who instruct governments — tell them; they think "they saw it with their own eyes," and have no clue about how easy it is to manipulate viewers.
Most people are unaware of how race, gender and other vectors of identity politics are strategically being used to divide us.
Most people have no idea that there are millions and millions (and increasingly millions more, the number grows daily) of ordinary people — not "alt-righters", not "rightwing Nazis", not "white supremacists" — all around the world gathering peacefully week after week for months now to protest the inhumanity and the illogic of the lockdowns despite military-style police violently beating them down.
Most people's eyes have glazed over at all the text I just wrote.
I used to be a person who fell into a few of the above categories. I'm not smarter than most people now, I just happened to realize one fateful day this year that we were being systematically and deliberately lied to about Very Important Matters (Covid was just a part of it).
My whole life until this year I was deadly earnest about combating "injustice", but I was pretty ignorant about who was causing it, how long they had been at it, and how practically all wars and global tragedies could be connected to certain entities. Since March, I have been on an accelerated learning path which has caused me to to question every "news story" mainstream media churns out. (Ha, to think I used to enjoy reading, for example, The (UK) Guardian, and actually believed it was "objective"... I miss those innocent days reading "the news" on my smartphone, catching up over my morning coffee with what I thought was "the truth," not knowing that it was a highly-edited, carefully-selected comfortable version of the truth). I soon came to reject all mainstream media and started being turned on to independent journalists and investigators. And I started connecting and quizzing those who had been listening to those other sources for years and, in some cases, decades.
A FB friend asked me recently how I defined truth. It's a good question and I had to think about it.
Of course, I would tell him (here, in this post), you have to look somewhat at the teller: what is their experience, what is their education, what are their credentials?
But from my own life experience I know that not all "educated" people are smart (many, especially those in certain professions, tend to repeat what they are told without questioning; there is no critical thinking, no analysis, there is no discussion, they use condescension as a way to silence questioners). Could it be that a musician, artist or a teacher might have a sharper, more objective, more analytical mind than a scientist or a doctor? I would say in some cases "yes" (btw, please note I'm not talking about me there, although I do have a Science degree, and Mathematics was consistently my favorite subject up to University).
However more important than that, in almost every case, one has to ask: cui bono? (who benefits?). Most of the people I listen to or follow, whose truth-telling I learn from, gain nothing but abuse and derision, many lose friends and connections to family, some lose their jobs and livelihoods, many are de-platformed. And yet these people continue, despite harm to themselves, because they care so much about the truth being told.
Though this is completely subjective: I feel their sincerity so deeply. And others in the same community of truth-seekers do. You just know when people are fake (don't you?!)
Another thing I like in my truth-tellers: they are consistent.
Lastly, they can admit it when they are wrong.
It's never too late in life to face the fact that humanity is being lied to on a massive scale (Covid is just a part of it).
It's never too late to trust your instincts, ask questions, to start think critically.
Most people will ignore this post as the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist/anti-science/anti-vaxxer/anti-masker/grandma killer. Others who are on the same path will no doubt give me love and props. I'll always take that love but I really am trying to reach people in the first category with my late-night unedited* musings. I understand too much about what's coming and I want as many people as possible to know so that we can lift humanity from this great deception (Covid is just part of the lie). It only works if enough of us stand up together at the same time. #RejectTheReset #TheGreatReject
*I need an editor!
Thanks for reading. For me — and perhaps for anyone who read this essay back when I first published it — it’s interesting to look back on what I wrote almost two years ago and realize that not much has changed. And since the insanity continues, that includes my views on the above.
