Anyone catch the opening of the Olympics last night as presented by the mugs on NBC? While being told over and over how how it's an opportunity to "bring us together," when China made their entrance I was informed about their persecution of minorities and crackdown on pro-democracy protestors. Strange that no other country's internal political fau pas were mentioned.

One segment featured a rendition of Lennon's Imagine, but it's clear none of the presenters want anyone to take its words seriously; you know, the part about no countries, no possessions, no religion. What they've done is take a truly revolutionary song and turned it into a Che tee shirt sold at The Gap.

These things jumped out at me because of my wiring, but l wonder how many millions of viewers are unaware of what's being done to them, constantly, by whom, and why.

"Every mistake I’ve ever made in this job was the result of listening to other people instead of trusting my gut and moving with my own intuition and inspiration. I'm too experienced at this point to ever let anyone cajole me into writing about their pet topic in their way."

I knew there was more than 2 reasons that I liked you.

I may only have a few readers but my info is as factual as I can get and it's hard to accept at times, but, by golly, it has to be "out there" in the info-cyber-sphere of available discourse. Censorship, of late, takes people's ability to make their own decisions, and forces 'consensual' narratives down their throats. A 'dumbing down' of the citizenry has been ongoing for almost ever and if the new Biden/Harris admin had their total way we'd all be blithering idiots, just like Biden himself, hmmm. Don't get blithered, find your own path towards enlightenment.

"A big part of the problem is that just as the insane don't know they're insane, the propagandized don't know they're propagandized. "

As Rodgers and Hammerstein pointed out in South Pacific. "You have to be carefully taught." And we are from K to BS. Superman taught us the ultimate moral righteousness was "Truth, justice, and the American way." Ironic that Truth and Justice seem to be the antithesis of the American way.

AND he tells us that getting the mRNA vaccine will reduce deaths... That will probably turn out to be the biggest lie of the anthropocene. Just for a certain category of those who should NEVER take mRNA, see this: B-Cells, T-Cells, & mRNA Vaccines https://peterwebster.substack.com/p/b-cells-t-cells-and-mrna-vaccines

It would be so nice to reinflate The Idler. Their Publishers main aim was to amass Liable Suits. We must go to where the three paths cross. Tri Via.
