This has no real relationship to the article, but I had a story happen today I wanted to share somewhere. While I was driving, I exited a highway onto a county road that had a roughly 50 MPH speed limit (but people often go faster on). When I got onto it, I noticed about 1500 feet away from me, someone was crossing the (fairly large road) with a baby carriage, so I gradually slowed down so they could cross the road.
As I did this, someone else exited the highway, sped up to pass me since I was going kind of slowly, and went onto the side of the road (in the pullout lane) to pass me on the right. They came very to close to hitting the parent and I am came very close to having a nasty accident to stop the driver from hitting the baby once I realized what was happening.
It just amazes me people can be that inconsiderate and oblivious to their surrounding because they are just focused on what they want. After this all happened, I realized that in quite a few ways, that driver was just like the people discussed in this article.
Another terrific but depressing article, AMD. My response to the COVID debacle has been to leave allopathic medicine behind for good. I am now in the care of an osteopathic physician who practices homeopathy. I did this for many reasons, not least of which was the sheer dread and panic that overtook me every time I went to the doctor's office for my quarterly office visit (at a certain age they start wanting to eyeball you every three months). I do not trust conventional doctors to have my best interests at heart. Nor do I trust any part of allopathic medicine to care about my health. All they care about is how much money they can make off me. I saw this with my wife, who died of lung cancer in 2020. As soon as it became clear there was no more money to be made off of her, the hospital graciously allowed me to put her in hospice and take her home, where she died three days later. The entire pandemic response was run for the benefit of pharmaceutical company investors--private profit, not public health. There are no words to express my fury and disgust.
If you want to see just how effective PR can be, consider this: in 1916, Woodrow Wilson ran on a platform that was SPECIFICALLY against the United States joining WW1. It wasn't just a "plank" in his platform but the biggest single issue that he campaigned on.
However, immediately after being reelected, he did a U-turn and started advocating for the US to conscript a bunch of boys, waste a few hundred millions of public money, and join the war. So what did he do? He created what were called the "4-Minute Men" who spread out across the country (in a time before there was mass media, even radio wasn't widespread) and gave four-minute speeches in favor of the US going to war.
The result was, of course, that the US did join the war. Today, the reason why the US joined WW1 has been retconned as being a response to the sinking of the Lusitania, but that actually occurred two YEARS earlier and had only a minimal impact on public sentiment.
PS - It's been pretty well proven by now that the so-called "Spanish Flu" was actually a result of America mobilizing its soldiers for WW1.
Long story short, the American people badly need a crash course in how to identify and recognize PR campaigns. Otherwise, we're all gonna end up in a society envisioned by the movie Idiocracy.
There’s a huge lack of good faith. Everything is ideology. You can’t have a reasonable discussion about anything it seems. I’m a pretty open minded person and am happy to entertain differing theories and ideas, show me some good evidence, give me motive and I’ll talk with you on most anything and I won’t get aggressive if I find myself disagreeing with your position. I would never presume to tell others what to believe or think. I wish the same courtesy was extended in kind. No I don’t think your “vaccines” are safe, no I don’t think I’m at any risk … please just respect my position. But no … they tried to eat me!

Give up your free speech at your peril. Once they are able to silence you, the game is over. The loss of all of your other freedoms will fall like dominoes after. Anyone that advocates to censor you, or to unmask your anonymity is your adversary. Treat them like one - no matter what else they say.
But why is it so vital and necessary for the combined monolithic apparatus of government, corporations, and NGOs, to brute force censor everyone while decimating the careers and reputations of the dissenters? Here is why:
The reason the First Amendment is prime directive order 1, is because it is the most important freedom we have for the same reason it is the first target an adversary subverts, disrupts, and destroys during a crime, a war, or a takeover—preventing a target from assembling, communicating, and organizing a response to an assault grants an enormous advantage to the aggressors.
This is and has been occurring all across the globe since the minute this COVID-19 fraud was propagated to every corner of the earth.
The Second Amendment is second because it is the remedy for anyone trying to subvert the First.
I heard a strange story yesterday when I went to get a dental cleaning. I got in the chair then wanted to catch up on her family. She told me her youngest child was diagnosed with alopecia. Her children are 3 and 5 years of age. I had never heard this diagnosis on a child that young. She told me his hair on top of his head was almost gone! He was diagnosed through blood tests (testing positive twice). As it subsided throughout the year he was tested again and it was negative. His hair is normal now. I did not ask about vaccines. I questioned in my own mind that something unusual had occurred to her children. Then I read your article.
The term "public relations" is meant to whitewash what is pure propaganda. The great libertarian economist and historian, Murray Rothbard, in a history of public education in the United States pointed out that the advocates for public schools openly admitted their motives and stated "This was before the advent of public relations". By that he meant that the Protestant establishment said in no uncertain terms that their purpose was to "Christianize the Catholics" because they were concerned about the number of Catholic and high church Lutheran immigrants, mostly from Ireland and Germany. They said in effect "We can't do much with the parents , but we can with the children." At least the immigrants were made aware of what they were up against and they proceeded to establish their own private schools. This quote always comes to mind when I hear or read the term "public relations".
Riveting/horrifying read. I think it's worth considering that for a large number of pro-vaxxers, that they +can't+ be wrong. Their world would crumble. Goodness knows how you ever find time to treat people with writing detailed articles like this! Thank you.
All pre constructed through multiple thought leaders and the mass media to attaint a predetermined goal. Has nothing to do about good health! Must reject the the push to create a medical police state! If we can’t do it humanity is lost! I appreciate you deep dive Midwest Doc!
Having worked in pr for many years mostly for good causes, I appreciate really great pr. I'm not saying I agree with what they're doing but their methods are incredibly well thought out and coordinated. I tried explaining to my husband how so much vof what's going on is excellent pr. It took hours (he was interested) but he began to see it.
I started by telling him how (25 years ago) Microsoft had one full agency of about 300 people devoted to just one of their products. A friend worked there. No one except maybe the execs really saw the big picture, i.e. their role in the bigger picture. And that was (relatively) benign pr.
Now apply it to the world order. Multiply the number of agencies each working on an aspect of the "message" and add a couple of coordinated leads at top and they really can control the message, control the world. It only stops when the funding does.

I read this not long ago and I think perfect for this article
If the truth makes you uncomfortable, blame the lie which made you comfortable.
Thanks for sharing

Funny how they always use names that are the opposite of the agenda. Public good? Yeah, I think not.

Exceptional overview & summary of how narrative spinners have taken over to push their messages & destroy any opposing voices & views at any cost.
