You say, "I would like your feedback on if you feel this is an appropriate area to examine and respectful of your time." Absolutely, and absolutely. While substack reading does take much more time than I used to spend getting "news" from completely unreliable sources, thorough articles like yours are well worth it. And the reason covid / injections are such a disaster is propaganda. And we see it happening again with the next things, the madness of crowds in never ending cycles.
Thank you. I think a large part of it is that a lot of people on substack get themselves into a subscriber loop where they are constantly trying to produce content. I'm more coming from, I only want to produce content if I feel good about it. Otherwise I'd rather put my time and energy into something else.
An excellent synopsis. Thank you. I woke up this morning, thinking about how my fellow Americans, having been battered for two years with the blunt instrument called Covid Policy (which I have come to believe killed and is killing many more people than the virus has or will), are now being bombarded with imagery from Ukraine and the Public Relations of War. That has a psychological effect, it causes damage to the brain.
Witness now the overwhelming bipartisan support for a no-fly zone over Ukraine (until you frame the question about shooting down Russian jets.) These elite are so unconscionable I have come to believe this war was provoked so that we will not have a conversation about accountability for Covid Policy, aside from all the money that will be made making war (assuming they don't destroy the Dollar in the process, which may even be part of the plan, on their way to instituting a centralized programmable digital currency.)
I am so well attuned to the propaganda and the machinations of warprorfiteering, as soon as I hear our media talking about Putin planning to use chemical weapons, my next thought is, I wonder if my government is going to use chemical weapons in Ukraine and blame it on Russia? Because I know the monster that is Putin is not any bit more or less a monster than the people who rule America.
I think the orwell quote I used about war sums it up. People always want a war when it's a mental idea they can think about, but once they have some conception of how horrific it actually is, they change tune, at which point it's normally too late to stop.
I have suggested to many a liberal since 2016, you know, all this outrage about Russia, Russia is the crown jewel in the neoliberal regime change doctrine. You are being led into war. They always replied, you are a fool to think that, we are just protecting democracy. While Russia's military was amassing at the border of Ukraine I said watch out, our government will provoke them across, war profiteers salivating at the opportunity. No one but Putin wants war! That is Putin propaganda! they shouted.
Meanwhile down here among the working class, many who feel long abandoned by the Democrats, are mostly as dubious about all things Covid Policy as they are of this war, and recognize, the same people who were sitting home in their zoomer jammies raving about mandates, are the same people handwaving crazy eyed about saving democracy in Ukraine.
Yes! Exactly! There has never been democracy in UKR. Russia refuses to embrace the West and WEF dictates. Therefore...here we are 🥲
I sought to educate myself on the background history of Ukraine and Russia with my starting point here on Substack. The civil, intellectual discourse and sources outside the mainstream media is refreshing and much appreciated.
I stopped watching TV news and much of TV years ago. However, a friend was visiting and was adamant about watching Ukraine coverage. He even paid for my youtube subscription to see. As I watched with him I quickly recognized how manipulative the coverage and EVEN WITH DRAMATIC MUSIC like a movie SO AS TO CREATE MORE DRAMA, OUTRAGE & PITY! I believe bc I don't watch tv, I recognized this quickly. I thoroughly despise feeling manipulated!!!
I'm very sensitive to how sound emotionally affects you, so it's always really aggravating for me to listen to mainstream media (I prefer to just read) because I feel how the music and sound pulls you in one direction or another and you have to consciously resist the pull.
That’s me. I love the quiet. (Perhaps at my age of 64, old enough & slowed down enough to recognize BS and don’t have to participate in the rat race too much anymore either). TV even just in the background is a LOUD, BLARING ANNOYANCE & NUISANCE that assaults my love for peacefulnesses and the view of nature I have from my reading chair. The political & gender propaganda had become pervasive in most everything too. I do love those outdoor music concerts though!!!😀
As an old-timer, I remember "liberty fries." Even at that point, they were a bad joke, so I kept joking with my students at the time (it was all right to do that at universities in Europe at the time) that from now on, instead of a French kiss, I'd ask my wife to give me a "liberty kiss." It's a better name for that, anyway, and she gladly went along!
Excellent article! One commercial of late that has really got my ire up is the normalization of autism. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. It basically stated that autism was a “common” childhood condition and that 1 in 30 children deal with this. So, please contact “ABCD” or whoever “they” are for more help. This is insane and I believe a direct result of harmful vaccines given. There has been a huge push to normalize different conditions that never existed before. It is all so disgusting!
Yeah I wrote about this in my second smallpox one, but it's really interesting when you take a step back and notice how diseases emerge and are treated as normal/having always been there that weren't there before.
This is the time to catch the beast by the throat and go for the jugular: the basis for it a fraudulent paradigm, Germ Theory.
The beast of modern medical "science" is a criminal enterprise and must be dealt with as such.
Unless people, including "professionals," realize the fraud of Germ Theory, there will always be new "infections" and/or "pandemics."
Terrain Theory must replace Germ Theory. Of course, "doctors" and "researchers" would have to re-learn their profession and find alternative means of funding. The corporate-owned mass media must be dissolved as genocidal monopolies on information.
Banker-owned governments that have hijacked countries two years ago must also go.
The nearly 100% corrupt legislative branch also needs to be revamped.
Most of all, fiat currencies that have given a bunch of criminals worldwide power, must be eliminated and replaced with gold-backed ones. The fraud of central banks issuing credit at the taxpayer's expese must also be terminated. Credit and investment must be regulated in order to prevent them from ending up only in a few hands. The Stock Market must be canceled the way it works (bets whose outcomes can be manipulated must be outlawed) and the financial system has to start from scratch.
Sounds like a new start, but inevitable. The only question is whether humanity will start over from a depression or from the Stone Age.
I commend the writer's expose of the nefarious uses of PR. I also note, however, that such tactics are hardly limited to "corporations." Equally guilty of dangerous propaganda are unions (recall their partnering with the CDC to manufacture guidelines for school closures) and cartels, e.g., the AMA and others seeking to kill their competition in the name of "keeping you safe." In short, ANYONE lobbying government to coerce others - corporations, unions, cartels, foreign governments, and even so-called "non-profits" - is to be shunned and should be denied the government-assisted power and taxpayer funding they seek.
I’m not buying the narrative on bacon. Prior to more recent times, no part of an animal was wasted. It may not have taken the same shape or name but for most of history nothing could afford to be “wasted”. Many still subscribe to this notion today as it’s seen as honoring the animal.
I was about to say the same thing. It might not have been called bacon, but those fatty parts of the pig have always been relished. That claim is just false.
I could not find one of the references I read before, so I edited the part based on it, but I put one in. If you google bacon and edward bernays you will find a lot of references to this early PR campaign. Thank you for your feedback.
I know I enjoy a full English breakfast. Aside from the bland sausage, you can get bacon. Goes well with beans and tomato. But that was UK many years ago, not so much in the US.
Thank you for your thoughtful article. However, there is one more player in the game and that is the World Economic Forum (WEF) and how they're using COVID and Climate Change to usher in their world agenda. This is known as The Great Reset. In a nutshell, their predictions for our lives by 2030 are:
You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy
- Whatever you want you will rent and it will be delivered by drone.
The US Won't Be the World's Leading Superpower
- A handful of countries will dominate.
You Won't Die Waiting for an Organ Donor
- We won't transplant organs, we'll print them instead.
You'll Eat Much Less Meat
- An occasional treat, not a staple for the good of our environment and your health.
A Billion People Will Be Displaced by Climate Change
- We will have to do a better job at welcoming and integrating refugees
Polluters Will Have to Pay to Emit Carbon Dioxide.
- There will be a global price on carbon. This will make fossil fuels history.
Western Values Will Have Been Tested to the Breaking Point
A lot of this sounds lovely on the surface, but it's how we'll get there that is more than concerning. You can easily connect the dots to what we're currently going through. They're now boldly making their agenda public and they have a channel on YouTube if you're interested in learning more. I'd also recommend looking up videos on Klaus Schwab who is leading the effort.
Not only did I stop watching news & TV years ago, I threw away the social media platforms; they foster discontent & manipulate in “real time”. We, the people, could bring American oligarchs & their companies to their knees if we quit using their products. You really can live a meaningful life without knowing the details of other people’s lives. IMO, the mainstream media outlets are a branch of the Democrat party…there is only room for the leftist viewpoint. Thank you MWD for this article.
As a Gulf War veteran with medical conditions stemming from the war, I had participated on a congressionally funded panel reviewing medical research proposals for possible funding. This congressional funding mechanism was forced after DOD and VA spent roughly $200 million on research, and had nothing to show for it.
It was very rewarding work, and also very disappointing. There were a number of very novel research proposals, but some were absolutely taboo. Taboo is the sense I got from several of the panelists and the contractor that was administering the funding. Taboo research projects were rare, but they did come up periodically, but funding was even more rare because it meant looking into possible medical injuries from vaccines, or depleted uranium, which your Kuwaiti patient may have been exposed to given the fire at Camp Doha that burned for 3 days.
Yeah people really don't appreciate how. much science is distorted by what people will fund and how many less innovative discoveries arise now because of the current grant system.
One of my friends in the military fought the vaccine mandate for months and pointed out that by the way the present law is written, what the DoD has done is completely illegal, but despite a lot of work he eventually got overridden on all of it and now is vax-injured :\
I wish we could have been more successful at stopping this years ago.
Some of those injured by the anthrax shots were accused of malingering and some were kicked out of the military with bad conduct discharges and no health benefits. Others were kicked out for refusing the shot.
Fantastic summary of propaganda in the US! I had been telling my kids about the "taking babies off incubators" story in relation to the propaganda related to Ukraine, so I'm sharing this so they can watch it. Please expand on the propaganda you are seeing in the Ukraine conflict! It amazes me that friends who agree they were lied to for two years about covid suddenly think their government is taking them the truth! 🤦♀️
I'm trying to have this be focused on medicine rather than politics because medicine is my area of expertise. I'll throw in 2 things I was debating mentioning above but didn't because they weren't really directly on point.
The most interesting thing I've seen with the conflict has been Russia posting things on their telegram of Ukraine military targets being destroyed, and then people working for Ukraine taking the posts, photoshopping them to say Russian ones were destroyed, reposting that, and then having it go viral on social media...and this happens over and over like clockwork.
The other is that the pro-ukrainian propoganda is basically using marvel super hero concepts to make out that small outnumbered Ukrainian units are taking out large numbers of evil Russians like a marvel super hero would, and as a lot of the current liberal base love the marvel movie franchise, they are eating it up and either cheering on the ukrainians, or in some cases actually going to ukraine to volunteer to fight for the army (there's a reddit for people wanting to do this, and they sometimes go over wearing star wars rebel alliance insignia etc).
Both of these are very strange sights to behold and really illustrate how divorced from reality a lot of people are (which is also probably why they fell so easily for the COVID propoganda)
