I love the breakdowns and analysis of each and every single phrase, tone, and verbiage to show how these journalistic slights of tricks are used to persuade the masses. I’ve found that lawyers are exceptionally well at doing this. You should teach a course on this!
At this point it's clear that virtually all corporate media is a lie and is not intended to inform. It's job is to enforce a narrative intended to drive behavior. The only real question is how long has this been going on? Seems like it's been since just after WW2 to me.
I've gradually come to the conclusion that many people in PR are sociopaths. Their entire career is based on persuading people through deception to not act in their own best interests, but in that of their client's. Yet it's taught in universities as some sort of noble profession.
This has a long history but it really took off with Edward Bernays. He normalized lying and manipulating people to make a buck.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is publishing their every so many years update of their Red Book, a bible of infectious diseases and relied upon by pediatricians. They have new/updated chapters on Talking with Families and Patients About Vaccines.
I looked at my husband and said, yeah, I bet they do. More ways to manipulate and persuade the unwilling and newly awakened.
And entire divisions of major law firms called "Government Relations," aka lobbying. When an acquaintance told me decades ago that's what she was working in, I nodded but had no idea what she was talking about, because my father was a normal attorney who just practiced law.
can't remember Edward Bernays or when he lived, but how about the early 1800's when all those potions, elixirs, tablets, etc were floooding the market especially in the cities? Any ailment, real or perceived, had an hundred "cures" most of which were neutral thus ineffecive, and many were downright harmful.. mercury compounds were common, and lethal in larger doses. Yt the general public, eager to "cure what ail's em" gobbled them up in bith senses of the word. I think it was P.T. Barnum declared "there's a sucker born every minute", and the bible declares they are soon parted with their money.
Madison Avenue have mererely taken those two truths and put a thin gloss of gentility and faux respect upon them, and made $Bns.
"I've gradually come to the conclusion that many people in PR are sociopaths. Their entire career is based on persuading people through deception to not act in their own best interests, but in that of their client's."
maybe since at least the War of Norhern Aggression? I've read considerable accounts of that "conflic" written by some of those who seceded.... Dabney, Jackson, etc.
“Within 55 minutes of the attack, the US spokesperson said ‘Ukraine wasn’t involved.” Another tactic reminiscent of all headlines the morning after the 2020 election: “There was definitely no election fraud!” I wondered how they could print that when the ballots had not yet been fully counted.
Remember almost immediately after the second plane hit the twin tower a "man on the street" wearing a baseball cap, most likely FBI or CIA, was asked by a reporter, "Who do you think was behind this terror attack on American citizens?" He immediately replied that it was obviously Osama Bin Laden. Or how about the cargo ship taking down the FSK bridge? FBI almost immediately claims it wasn't a cyber attack.
I think what the Federal Investigation Bureau flack meant to say was "We have no information indicating it was a cyber attack, and we know everything. And we always tell the truth."
well, cone ONN now, this is a true statement. It was never "da vaxx", it was always and ever the body's reaction to it. That is a distinction without a difference. Les genteely known as "a lie".
And if you listened to Mike Benz on Tucker, you know that they started censoring any online discussion of methods and tactics that people could be questioning, about seven months before the election.
I was put in mind of what kids say, right away, when they did actually do the thing they know their parents suspect them of doing. Fits both scenarios.
Maybe Hillary Clinton and her team submit copy to every captured media editor on these stories. The editor just assigns it ti someone to make a few minor changes. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Hillary writes and is the head planner of all of the narratives and all of the evil going on in the world. She is a lawyer so she’s got the skill and expertise and she’s also evil so it comes naturally. Met her once in person, around 1998 to 2000 even shook her hand, I was a democrat then, but I could feel her negative energy very very strongly and left feeling perplexed, it was such a bad experience. I didn’t find out the truth about her for at least 10 years after that!
The thing is, the more these "news" outlets do this, the more they erode trust in their own reporting. Even people on the low end of the IQ curve can tell when their own personal, physical safety is at risk. So, when the MSM says "don't believe your lying eyes," it really just damages their credibility. If I could give them advice, Id say please keep going with that strategy.
Where can I sign up for this class - actually they teach journalists how to implement these tricks in their writing in college - seems there should be a counter class right?👏🏼
Lenin developed a special way of writing that made it possible to establish the ‘formula-slogan’ in the mind of the reader or listener . . . Then, as the most important compositional element, there is the use of repetition, by means of which a rectangle is formed which concentrates the attention, narrows the field of possibilities, and squeezes thought into a tight ring from which there is only one exit . . .
Total power over the Word gives the Master of the Word a magical power over all communications. Soviet speech is always a monologue because there is no other party to talk to. On the other side is the enemy. In the Soviet language there are no neutral words – every word carries an ideological burden . . . That is why in Soviet language the same words are repeated over and over again, until they become a signal that acts without any effort of thought.
The effect of set phrases and slogans is also assured by their always being repeated in absolutely the same form . . . The Soviet language became the most important means of preventing people from acquiring more knowledge than the state wished . . . Soviet speech lost its freedom.
The language was put together out of slogans and quotations from the Leader [Stalin] . . . The crushing, unquestioned authority of the Leader’s word is the result to a large extent of his right and power to name the Enemy . . . The word that signifies the enemy must be striking, easy to remember, implying condemnation by its very sound, and always imprecise, so that everyone who at a given moment does not please the Leader can be included under it rubric . . . "
- Mikhail Heller (Cogs in the Wheel: The Formation of Soviet Man)
I once debated in school the premise, "The pen is mightier than the sword" - I took PRO - I won!! How many wars have been instigated by the POWER OF POLEMIC WORDS!! Too many to enumerate.
I believe there is at least a couple people that follow Jeff just to see what people they don't like , are saying. Months ago someone on the comments had a private comment for me and said they only follow to know what the other side is thinking. I did not respond😏
It was the greatest city in the greatest country - past tense. Now even the banking industry is fleeing NYC to Miami. Wall Street will follow. Lawlessness (woke Marxism) will drive business out of a city and out of a country.
How many ways to destroy NYC: 1) Normalize anarchy through carefully scripted media. 2) Normalize government tyranny in the name of public safety. 3) Enable Anarchy through compromised government officials (elected and bureaucrats). Adams is just performing his role.
And as a WAState native (who moved to Kalifornistan in 1984) I mourn for Seattle & Tacoma, too..the entire Left Coast is being destroyed by the Dhimmicrat contagion. 💔
I went to Portland many, many years ago to visit an equipment manufacturer for work. I remember thinking, “This is a beautiful place. I think I could live here!” I’m so glad I never seriously looked for a job out there. And I have zero desire to go back to the west coast.
I was there recently for work and couldn't believe how awful it was. I never liked it b/c too big, too loud, too obnoxious, etc., but it's immediately obvious it's dying or dead now.
Nothing works, the streets are an open drug use zone, all the streets, not just some. People smoking crack in the middle of the day on a busy sidewalk, for example. The buildings and infrastructure are crumbling and decaying. They look old, dirty, and gross.
It's just an embarrassment of a s**thole. I'm ashamed it's in America.
What Jeff didn't cover is the subway system itself is a threat to safety. It's like it hasn't been maintained, much less upgraded, in 20 years. It's rumbling, creaking, groaning, screeching like the cars are about to fall apart or fall over. Huge cracking sounds when you're in the car, like it's going to snap apart. Like a house cracks during an earthquake.
Compare all this to what you see in thriving places in the US and abroad and it's pretty clear what leftist politics causes. And it's pretty clear NYC is a past-tense entity. Good riddance, IMO.
For a real eye-opener, watch videos of the Moscow Metro. Its stunning.. And while you're at it, watch videos on the Streets of Moscow. Where are the drug addicts, homeless people, trash and graffiti? The city is spotless. Also notice the people. They are generally nicely dressed, and behave respectfully towards others. Why is Moscow so different from New York? Russia is also, and always has been, multicultural. I continue to pursue the answers.
Because they punish criminals and they don't listen to Western academic "leftists" who claim to have discovered a better way of doing things by reading (and plagiarizing) a bunch of crappy, outdated books.
It's a direct relationship between crime and decay and the willingness of leadership to punish those who step out of line. And I mean punish, not just "sentence" them to community service.
They also don't have modern, "Marxist" academic clowns informing their policies. These people who claim "the Science says" when what they mean is their ideas are informed by 1960s political gibberish that runs 100% counter to actual science. Instead of giving them high 6-figure sinecures in policy roles, the Russians laugh at those types of idiots. Like when Putin gives a speech to the WEF and calls them all perverts and pedophiles.
If you really want to be wowed, check out Dubai. That is what happens when capital flees hostile environments like Europe to seek out a place where it is appreciated.
I think reason that NYC is so screwed up is cultivation of resentment.
The way the left "works" is by telling every group except straight white men of Christian origin (call them SWMCs, archetype being Daniel Penny, or even Trump) that they have been oppressed and exploited by SWMCs.
Most people are at least somewhat insecure about their own abilities, and this embarrassment is painful. So the left can get massive political support by taking away that pain and sanctioning an enjoyable blame in its place. The leftist leadership gets votes, and the leftist pawns get to enjoy a masturbatory anger instead of doing the work of self-reflection and self-improvement.
I think the right response is:
1. an accurate understanding of leftist psychology, as I'm trying to work out here
2. calm and sincere explanation to the pawns that they have been used, and exactly how this happened
3. encouragement of the pawns to rely on their own abilities
When people have an optimism that they can improve their lives through their own abilities and hard work, they drop leftism, recognizing it as a disease which destroys everything.
The Russians, having lived through Communism, are well aware that leftism is a disease, and that is why Moscow is on the upswing while NYC continues downhill.
And this is precisely why, last fall, we didn't venture into NYC when we were an hour upstate. Oh how we wanted to go explore. But our two families with 7 kids,ages 6-14, just didn't feel like it was safe enough. Mind you, we'd already hit up DC, Boston & Philly, walking their streets and using their metro systems - but NYC just didn't feel safe whatsoever. Stories like this and comments like yours confirm our gut feeling to stay away (sadly!)
First agenda, take the beautiful cities and turn them into 3rd world countries. Even Portland was beautiful at one time. Then the 3rd world-ness spreads.
I live outside of LA... Years ago, I commented on FB that it was starting to look like a 3rd world country in some areas. Some nut job from Scotland, who has probably not been here recently, if at all, said "You don't know what a 3rd world country looks like!" Okay, so what do you call it when the homeless are putting up tents along the highway and throwing trash everywhere?
NYC persistent subway murder is a new symptom of mental and spiritual illness. More police and military goes after the symptom not the root cause. Leaders there are not effective.
Anyway, the poor people that rely on public transportation are not really free. They are captured and reliant, so adding military/police is the next logical step.
They will never know the freedom of heading out the door down the highway on their own motorcycle or car, Jeep or truck. They are trapped.
But can go 300+ miles on a tank + carry and store fuel. This allows getting away from a local disaster. And you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to repair a gas engine. I’ve had to repair on trips before but EV technology requires special training and tools. I couldn’t be self reliant with EV.
Jeff, your discernment of vocabulary employment and tactics by The New Yuck Times makes me contrast their "reporting" and storied narratives with Yellow Journalism and Pamphleteering. and Conspiracy Theory. Perhaps we could term their muddled, double speak and Newspeak as RAINBOW Journalism?. Whatever event or occurrence or statement made by anyone everywhere must be held up to the prism of Rainbow ethics, Rainbow ends, Rainbow means to those ends. The prominent, flashy Rainbow symbol of not being universally drowned due to hedonistic hateful selfish pursuit of pleasure, violent brutality, utilitarian exploitation of the downtrodden and innocent, ignoring and/or recrafting of god and creation into whatever needed to justify one's or society's mal- and dysfunctions.
Rainbow Journalism is whatever color it needs to be for whatever purposes its' purveyors require the desired spinformation and effects it will have upon readers, it also permanentizes the record of delusional wrongs in a manner the masters of delusion are comfortable with. Belief-Masters and social-malinfluencers from the Gvt-Corporate inner brain require the Media Mouth and Sleight of Handing to arbitrate the Truth and malleableize information and facts for proper categorizing into permissible and non-favored status
Do you realize the rainbow they use has been altered for their perversion. The rainbow itself is over the Throne of God in Revelations. It represents the 7 Spirits of God, which are describe His character and how He moves. The LMNOP group has removed the dark blue from their version of the rainbow, which symbolizes the Spitit of the Glory of God. It's not surprising or a coincidence that the enemy of our souls has goaded his followers into removing the Presence of God from HIS own rainbow!
Demonic possession of these random acts of violence for me is a given. However, strict laws need to be enforced even on these entities occupying bodies: lock them up in institutions, jails, psychiatric hospitals, etc.They have no business on the streets.
We need to bring back insane asylums. Not like in One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest, but an actual hospital like setting that gets these people off the streets until they can be rehabilitated. And if they can’t? Oh well. They stay out of society.
In a few short weeks congestion pricing goes into effect, many New Yorkers and commuters will be forced to use the subway system and buses (which are slightly safer than the subway) since driving into Manhattan will be too costly. I pray that I am wrong, but I’m not sure this once great city can rebound this time.
Had been unfamiliar with this, had to look into it......CRAZY!
"Passenger and commercial vehicles will now pay $15 once they enter the "congestion relief zone," which is below 60th Street in Manhattan. During the overnight hours when there is less traffic, the toll drops to $3.75. The charge will only happen once a day"
.........Pretty sure they need the revenue ...... gotta feed/shelter the illegal immigrants - OOPS! , I mean, the homeless.
I get this thinking, but at some point don't people ask themselves if it's worth sacrificing their safety, and even human dignity, to be a part of this? I saw a video yesterday of some crazed mentally-ill black guy (and yes the race is relevant) terrorizing a bunch of non-blacks on a NYC subway with completely deranged and physically threatening behavior. They all sat there pretending not to see him. Nobody moved or took any protective posture as they didn't want to attract his attention and have his wrath turned on them. Plus they no doubt knew the lunatic was a member of the protected class.
This type of behavior is soul-crushing. Whether people realize it or not, they are sacrificing their own dignity in the hopes some lunatic won't pick them as their next victim. They are accepting that some guy who's skin color is currently in vogue has a right to physically abuse them. No one has to live like this, they can leave a city that tolerates this insanity.
People have become so beaten down by some really strange collective guilt that they think they have to put up with this. You don't, you can leave at any time, no one has a gun to your head. Yes, it may not be easy and may require sacrifices in other areas. Yes, it may require a new job. Yes, it may require leaving family members behind who are too brainwashed to take their own protective action. But it certainly can be done.
Yet people continue to place themselves, and their loved ones(!!), in this dangerous and soul degrading environment. Plus if something happens to you what is going to happen to those who depend on you? It's some sort of really strange Stockholm Syndrome is the only thing I can figure. People think they somehow brought this on themselves and deserve no better. It's not true.
Similar to a crop of obnoxious kids cursing, spitting, talking about oral sex in front of old women on a park bench, or families in a restaurant, this is enabled by the weak and diminished and corrupted souls of men, and encouraged by Marxists; this impolite and insane behaviour needs to be choke-holded wherever encountered.
NY won’t let people carry pepper spray or mace. Maybe knives, not sure. But who wants hand to hand combat if it can be avoided? Even Byrna air guns are banned from shipping to NY. The people there cannot defend against criminals.
I think ignoring some verbal lunacy and (non-violent) bizarre behaviour can be appropriate in many circumstances. Not making eye contact is part of that. Taking a “tough” stance is more likely to be “punching down”. It’s a bit like ignoring some of the “noise” on Twitter/X - but with more important consequences.
As a society, I believe we have unconsciously chosen self-destruction b/c it is the logical conclusion to the materialist ideology. We cannot justify our existence
I knew someone would say this! Haha. Don’t be insulted. I mean “ poor” in that I feel bad and have sympathy. The people I know who live in big cities without personal transportation are in fact much richer than me. Words have many meanings.
Can anyone imagine Sinatra belting out "New York, New York" today? Of course, not just NYC. Every major U.S. city is degrading, from San Francisco to Portland to Baltimore, and now invading small town America. One might almost wonder if this was planned all along.
”Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
That’s the reason for no trust in government - no matter what happens they try to shape the narrative for political or strategic.
The Baltimore Bridge collapse is a great example - before anyone was even on site to investigate the government announced there is no reason to suspect terrorist involvement - who do they even say that? Why not just say we don’t know what happened and we will find out.
Yeah, amazing, isn't it? The government moves at the speed it wants to. Baltimore bridge and "covid" were instant knowledge, but Medicare billing has been down in my pharmacy for a solid month or more (frankly, I've lost count), potentially because of a security issue, and they STILL can't fix it? Give me a break. If we were still giving out "covid" "vaccines", I bet you a 20 bucks that system would be running just fine.
I'm sorry, that is very difficult. We have had a few shortages in the pharmacy. Mostly they are resolved in a day or so, but some generics are not to be found. We've been out of weight loss drugs for a while, although IMO those are not nearly as important as other drugs.
Instant Government Assessment to a catastrophic event, is the first “Tell” of a Government cover up. It’s much easier to identify the holes in the Government narrative, when you instantly suspect a cover up.
It IS openly their POLICY and procedure; that way no MATTER the cause or actors involved, THEY OWN the narrative, facts and truth belong to them as matter of law in essence, no one can allege or speculate to others and we all wait until the official expert investigation has concluded...see how it works? IN 20 years time we may get the Nashville Trans-Killer's Manifesto; redacted, edited, and only a digital copy. They OWN the TRUTH
I wonder who P. Diddy failed to pay off or mistakenly tried to blackmail. Poor bastard, they make you, they break you he's finding out. Patsy Rap and music labels makin da Money and gettin tha Honey for decades but silence is best managed with violence.
he's likely to get epstein'd don't you think?, how does he allow such a disgraceful dust-up to threaten his owners and cause distraction and worldwide attention in open view for all to see? (thas right, he likely ain't never been nothin but a well washed purtied up slave doin what he told and livin' large an payin' it up to massa). You know what they did to Toby in Roots when he dun run off like that?!
It was Diddy’s ex employee Lil Rod who sued him for 30 Million that set off the investigation. Real name is Rodney Jones I think. He filed one month before the raid on the houses, and a few days after Diddy settled with Cassie the ex girlfriend. After Diddy settled with Cassie, a handful of others came out to also sue Diddy and that opened it up.
Now when catastrophic infrastructure demolition occurs, I don’t assume it’s accidental. That bridge was there 47 years without incident like this and technology has multiplied since. One would think technology makes things more repeatable, but perhaps it opens more doors to tampering. 911, Maui. Palestine, all the farm, granary and forest fires... I will always be skeptical since the investigation details are never fully available.
There is NO EXCUSE that this bridge did not have safeguards installed for it from 2002-2024 is there? Except that those "experts" in charge DID NOT WANT safety and security upgrades put into place on this key bridge.
I’ve been suspicious and hesitant about technological advances particularly as it relates to everything having computer chips and “smart” everything. The smart appliances are the dumbest. They all foul up constantly, cost a fortune to buy and to repair, and I definitely don’t want anything that can be hacked, or shut off remotely by anyone. Like smart electrical boxes, which are also hazardous to your health.
People laugh at me for not wanting to use the cloud. It’s always been off and I recently had to activate it to transfer files from an obsolete Mac to a new one. The same weekend a bank account debit card I rarely use was used by someone to play apple computer games, stealing $400 from me before the bank caught it. I don’t believe in coincidence. Apple didn’t want to refund me after the obvious fraud either so my bank did and proceeded to fight apple for it.
The more we progress the more trouble I see. Everything including baby monitors can be hacked now and people can listen to your conversations through most of these devices, many have hidden cameras as well, including smart TVs. But people keep buying every dumb “smart” thing on the market. No thanks!
Yup, same thing the morning after the 2020 election. Millions of ballots still uncounted and the headlines were “There was no election fraud!” Of course, I thought there must be because they couldn’t possibly know that one way or the other. Similar to “safe and effective” based on no real clinical trials.
Well, it also doesn't help that these infrastructure and supply chain "accidents" have been happening with regularity for years. We all know this rate of "accidents" isn't normal. Though the liars tell us it is. They want us to view each one as an isolated incident instead of looking at the broader pattern.
We have to ask why did multiple government entities allow so much illegal invasion for so long? R and D entities, both. Are we to believe that was just an accident or that all of them just happened to be populated with the stupidest people at the same time? And if they all were populated with the stupidest people at the same time, how did THAT happen? Jeff sometimes writes as though Soros is a conspiracy theory, he doesn't exist, and he doesn't influence what happens here. (Reminds me of how people used to talk about Epstein.)
Regardless of who allowed the influx and why, we have to consider that our enemies have certainly snuck across special forces and spies. If I were Putin or Xi, that's what I would have done. It wouldn't be too hard for them to start a few fires, sabotage some vehicles, etc.
So, yeah, when they jump out and say "NOTHING TO SEE HERE" in record time, it really just confirms the suspicions. They are lying again. One would have to be incredibly naive to think all these events are just random, unconnected accidents and mistakes by the dumb people.
Some of the shipping engineer types have, in various places (links provided the day after, in these comments, I think); I think one said it was from a generator re-starting.
NPR and FBI call that tactical "pre-Bunking" a device to quash unfounded misinformation and conspiracy theory. It isn't premature, it is actual policy so that only experts can analyze and conclude what occurred and how to view it contextually and correctly. This is SOP in EVERY situation everywhere all the time.
I was dismayed at work yesterday… a conversation was started with my young coworkers (25-30 yr olds) “What actually is Good Friday?” they were asking. “I think that’s when that rock was rolled away” one responded. “No that would actually be Easter” I interjected. ☹️ “Wait, so what is Easter again?” They really were that clueless. And there were many of them. I don’t know why I’m still so shocked. I know many people don’t practice Christianity or attend church on a regular basis but are you telling me that upcoming generation knows nothing about the Bible or religion?? We are definitely doomed. I pray they find God and asap.
I think it’s also God’s timing. I didn’t know much about Easter when I was 30 years old either, even though I always considered myself a Christian. sad but true. I went to Sunday School at a Methodist church as a child but I didn’t remember much. Then I went to church again on my own in my 20s but must not have been paying much attention. I married a Jewish guy and further got lost, forgot everything. It wasn’t until Covid that I was quickly snapped awake one day. It was God’s timing. No doubt. He suddenly lifted my veil and everything He wanted me to know quickly found it’s way into my brain! I also found the right people, this blog, the right church, a new husband, it all came together! He definitely had a plan. Praise the Lord!!
Where I worked, we were a team of 10, mostly younger and older baby boomers of different ethnic ancestry, (and one of sexual orientation) and who would mention in passing that they had 'just attended mass', or 'will ask for Good Friday off', or 'will pray for you for xyz reason', etc.
The general manager was a millenial, raised in a former communist country, and heard our words of prayer support, and our requests for time off to observe. She claimed that she did not believe in God.
She observed Christmas and Easter in the secular way.
I pray and hope that one day, the seeds of belief which our words planted will bloom in her heart.
Blame their parents. Society was a good baby sitter teaching religion, values, morality for a while, but when society decided to change, parents went along with the change.
purposely done in school (and now in the White House): No Christian symbols will be allowed during this year's EASTER egg roll. Brandon has finally done it!
In the 'egg art' contest, at least. I'd love to see the eggs that were selected as winners. I looked this morning, but didn't see any images on a brief search.
yet it is being held as an EASTER EGG ROLL. Oh well, our devout catholic Brandon wants keep the trannies happy by calling this Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility
I agree with you, I'm just being pedantic in pointing out that the eggs that get rolled aren't the eggs in the contest in which religious art is forbidden. For the contest, kids had to submit ideas before a date in January. Professional artists would then paint the winning designs onto real eggs for display, on Easter Sunday, I think. Religious themes were not the only topic forbidden. The contest was for kids of National Guardsmen to show aspects of their personal lives (barring their religion, presumably!).
If you asked what an egg has to do with Christianity, I could understand the question. The fact that it is an “Easter” egg kind of narrows it down to something to do with Christianity, doesn’t it?
Hang on, Sunday is coming! May the Easter message of Hope fill your hearts. That while it’s always darkest before the dawn and while we may cry in the night, joy is coming in the morning. That while we may weep at 3 in the afternoon “My God, My God why have you forsaken me” Sunday is coming! That message that God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish!!
With regard to not only the subway situation but so many other problems today, if the consequences for bad behavior were actually enforced, life would be much better across the boards.
Such a simple concept isn't it. Yet somehow it escapes those in charge of blue areas of the country who created this mess. Bad actions require bad consequences otherwise chaos ensues.
That's one of the reasons I stopped flying. If it wasn't enough to have TSA pawing through my stuff and having to take off 1/4" sole flip flops, now I have to choose between someone seeing me naked or feeling me up. NO. Hard pass! But then again, pilots keep having heart attacks and airlines keep hiring DIE, so maybe it's good I never see another flight.
I had a female boss who was pretty good-looking. She and I had a good relationship, so we discussed things rather freely. She said that she never went thru TSA and didn’t get “extra attention”. She had a pretty resilient attitude about the whole thing. And she could chew your ass politely. (An amazing skill…) So she handled it. And that was back in the 2000s.
Lest we forget the 11years solar flare cycle that began Covid and will return during UN2030. Why is National Guard arriving for the April eclipse? That also causes "Influenza".
Ahhh. So now we’ll have an outbreak of a virus that needs a new & improved 💉which will of course degrade our health further, which leads to a new pharma cure for the symptoms.
One of the papers reviewers made this senseable comment regarding 5G deployment:
"It also provides evidence that the Precautionary Principle would call for more study before continuing the widespread deployment of 5G towers across the world, as well as the release of satellites that are envisioned to surround the planet. While bringing Internet access to the world’s population seems to be a good thing (in providing information to the societies that lack it now), we need to consider the Law of Unintended Consequences. The plans are for 5G to blanket the world, leaving no place without this new exposure to this Microwave and Milliwave radiation, and potentially effecting all life on earth, with the exception of beings that live in lead-lined shelters, or Faraday cages. Based on this paper alone, it indicates the need for further studies, before this is widely deployed."
Natilie, you are so right and I have been ignoring Arthur, because I don't see a way out.
I used to joke to myself that there would be something like an Apocalyptic type of event, but society would assemble to rebuild. The first act in the rebuilding came from the dental community--we have to add fluoride to the drinking water.
Not the study or its findings. But that TPTB are so dumb as to think adding novel energy patterns to an energy-based system would not disrupt said system.
We just read in our biology book the process of extracting ENERGY from glucose. ENERGY.
And they went and dabbled with it (to put it politely) via their wireless communications. And messed it all up. And tried to call us stupids.
I worked for a city maintenance yard, at that time communications were via radio, in our small office we had 10 radio base stations and an antenna directly above us on the roof. I still think stress, office politics and EMF made it impossible for me to reach full retirement age. I was diagnosed with the nebulous fibromyalgia. What I struggle with is that most people care more about having a strong cell connection than they do about having bees.
Based. Am I reading correctly. Affected if had jab, I get that. But is this saying people also affected in this same way if suffered the c flu? Thank you.
Well the authors are Trying to make a link. The missing link is injectable not mentioned. I agree that wireless has its hazards, but linked to CB19 alone.
The City officials are fine with problems that more $$$ and more legislation is required to "solve"; the political donors, asset class, the controllers, and the contracts are the mother's milk of modern politics and corporate partnerships; this IS THE Cycle of Money and Control; cracking down on criminals too harshly or sensibly within the existing budgets and power structures IS NOT what Progressive-Commies do. What we see at Every Turn to garner Grants, Secure infrastructure, Constrain the populations ARE the Goals and Ends they want, and are self-perpetuating with no resolution and always yet another crisis to infest themselves in by "investments".
yes, Progressive and progressivism are only half-labelling; Progressing toward "what"? is the key component. Progressive Communist IS the correct term, as even Progressive Socialism is acknowledged as a stepping stone to a higher goal of the Revolution (inspired and initiated in ancient times by Satan some say). Communism is the aim; a Slave Planet of humanity who are contented and resigned to their lot to serve the Master Class who themselves may contend and spat like gods on Olympus, but who are never challenged by the livestock herd of humans who serve and exist at their pleasure and whim.
I knew this was going to be a good roundup as soon as I saw the title... I thought ‘oooh, Jeff is in a mood this morning!’
The subway story, and ‘tamping’ to minimize the lack of leadership on root causes of problems... we’re seeing this all over from Democrat politicians, like Biden talking about how evil corporations are for shrinking bags of chips while he’s busy sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, billions to net zero goals, etc and therefore being the one who is devaluing the dollar to begin with. Bastards. I hate that so many people don’t see it.
We live in a secular, pagan and increasingly, deranged society.
Modern celebrations of Easter and Christmas have no connection to Jesus. The attempt to remove God from ‘religious’ celebrations is not only alarming but displays the devil’s hands all over it. Pick some other day to celebrate a frivolous festival, but leave our faith-filled ceremonies alone.
I will celebrate Easter for its significance; an affirmation of my joy in the resurrection of My Lord and Savior.
In fairness to the PR firm charged with spiffing NYC Subways: After the new fare-jumper barriers have been installed, riders will have the comfort of knowing that they were not pushed onto the tracks by a "criminal fare-evader".
Throughout my career in a federal, safety-related occupation I’ve witnessed the outcome of poor hiring practices. How did the agency deal with individuals so incompetent that they posed a danger to public safety? They were promoted to management positions. I see a similarity here with the Administration’s Cabinet positions. Trump could rightfully claim that he’s fired more qualified individuals from his show, “The Apprentice”.
I like your take on the wording, Jeff, and you are right. "Police said" means next to nothing. That could be something a policeman said 20 years ago about another incident, since it's my understanding people have been pushed before, and this reporter is using a true event out of context. But it also could be a flat out lie, since when has the media been honest? Anyhow, this is along the lines of "experts say" and "doctors recommend". Yeah, really? None of that means anything. Word play has become too common and most readers won't pay enough attention to see it.
The only way to stop that kind of invasion of privacy - scanners - is to flat out refuse them. I spent about 6 months (collectively) in NYC in 1998 and 99 and New Yorkers are a feisty bunch. I'm sure they can pull it off. I have to believe none of them are happy with the mess NYC has become.
Also, where did NYC get the money? Aren't they spending it on housing illegal aliens?
“Give us the weapons to stop the Russian attacks, or Ukraine will escalate its counterattacks on Russia’s airfields, energy facilities and other strategic targets.”
It’s so obvious, it’s pathetic. “If you don’t help us, we’ll do it ourselves”. Uhhhh, that’s a threat?! Okay, please proceed. The only way this makes sense is as you assert. Excellent observation, Jeff.
Not to get off-topic, but the Biden administration is now also being threatened by the president of Mexico. If you don’t send us billions of dollars, we’re just going to keep pushing illegals through your borders. Pathetic.
Wars and threats are a dominate theme for this administration. Pretty much they can’t get anything right. Even relations with a neighbor country are failure.
Can anyone name one narrative that was truthful?? Within 24 hours they said the Baltimore Key bridge destruction wasn’t terrorism and Biden will write a check for it; well that’s quick, takes longer to determine liability in a fender bender in a Publix parking lot. Whatever the official narrative is you can be sure it’s the exact opposite. Same with COVID, 9-11, climate change, Afghanistan withdrawal, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Federal Reserve Act, Jan 6, I’ll stop there else I’ll be here all day.
It seems every lie they make they justify it with “tamp down fears”. They can potentially lie about Kate to “tamp down fears” about sudden death, they made sure to have police in place at the Key bridge to be hero’s who can save us, to tamp down fears of us driving across bridges. They can get LeBron to not discuss his son’s myocarditis collapse, under the guise of not creating a massive amount of fear.
I love the breakdowns and analysis of each and every single phrase, tone, and verbiage to show how these journalistic slights of tricks are used to persuade the masses. I’ve found that lawyers are exceptionally well at doing this. You should teach a course on this!
Agreed, great job as usual from Jeff Childers.
At this point it's clear that virtually all corporate media is a lie and is not intended to inform. It's job is to enforce a narrative intended to drive behavior. The only real question is how long has this been going on? Seems like it's been since just after WW2 to me.
Also, PR firms are sometimes hired to craft this devious messaging, especially when it comes to government policy and political attacks.
I've gradually come to the conclusion that many people in PR are sociopaths. Their entire career is based on persuading people through deception to not act in their own best interests, but in that of their client's. Yet it's taught in universities as some sort of noble profession.
This has a long history but it really took off with Edward Bernays. He normalized lying and manipulating people to make a buck.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is publishing their every so many years update of their Red Book, a bible of infectious diseases and relied upon by pediatricians. They have new/updated chapters on Talking with Families and Patients About Vaccines.
I looked at my husband and said, yeah, I bet they do. More ways to manipulate and persuade the unwilling and newly awakened.
The propaganda is relentless.
And entire divisions of major law firms called "Government Relations," aka lobbying. When an acquaintance told me decades ago that's what she was working in, I nodded but had no idea what she was talking about, because my father was a normal attorney who just practiced law.
can't remember Edward Bernays or when he lived, but how about the early 1800's when all those potions, elixirs, tablets, etc were floooding the market especially in the cities? Any ailment, real or perceived, had an hundred "cures" most of which were neutral thus ineffecive, and many were downright harmful.. mercury compounds were common, and lethal in larger doses. Yt the general public, eager to "cure what ail's em" gobbled them up in bith senses of the word. I think it was P.T. Barnum declared "there's a sucker born every minute", and the bible declares they are soon parted with their money.
Madison Avenue have mererely taken those two truths and put a thin gloss of gentility and faux respect upon them, and made $Bns.
100%!!!
There’s a name for that. Conmen.
"I've gradually come to the conclusion that many people in PR are sociopaths. Their entire career is based on persuading people through deception to not act in their own best interests, but in that of their client's."
Substitute Marketing for PR.
Isn’t that JUST LIKE China?? All
media is propaganda
The Medium is the Massage
Marshall McLuhan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Medium_Is_the_Massage
I have a very different understanding of this now
Than I did when studying it in college/mid-'70s
Before WWII. J Edgar Hoover. He started it long ago. Read his biography.
maybe since at least the War of Norhern Aggression? I've read considerable accounts of that "conflic" written by some of those who seceded.... Dabney, Jackson, etc.
Started during the war. You can go back earlier to WW1 and dejure narrative control of US media under Wilson's Committee on Public Information.
“Within 55 minutes of the attack, the US spokesperson said ‘Ukraine wasn’t involved.” Another tactic reminiscent of all headlines the morning after the 2020 election: “There was definitely no election fraud!” I wondered how they could print that when the ballots had not yet been fully counted.
Remember almost immediately after the second plane hit the twin tower a "man on the street" wearing a baseball cap, most likely FBI or CIA, was asked by a reporter, "Who do you think was behind this terror attack on American citizens?" He immediately replied that it was obviously Osama Bin Laden. Or how about the cargo ship taking down the FSK bridge? FBI almost immediately claims it wasn't a cyber attack.
Yup steering the narrative. I guess it still works pretty well on the masses.
You mean the sheep being lead to slaughter. 😢
Getting ahead of the narrative!
So like everything else we hear from government/ media apply the opposite rule . If they say one thing it’s a lie and believe the opposite. 🙌🙌🙌
I think what the Federal Investigation Bureau flack meant to say was "We have no information indicating it was a cyber attack, and we know everything. And we always tell the truth."
Everyone on the street they interviewed on 9/11 was a media plant spouting
the 'official narrative'.
And: «we don’t know what caused this vaccinated person to drop dead but it certainly wasn’t the vaccine. »
well, cone ONN now, this is a true statement. It was never "da vaxx", it was always and ever the body's reaction to it. That is a distinction without a difference. Les genteely known as "a lie".
And if you listened to Mike Benz on Tucker, you know that they started censoring any online discussion of methods and tactics that people could be questioning, about seven months before the election.
Yes that is a great interview.
they'll be counting and finding ballots into March 2025 to get Biden's second term.. a more difficult cheat this time hopefully
Difficult, maybe, but fraud will be the order of the day(s).
Believe the opposite of any headline within 55 minutes!
So.
My thought exactly. You beat me to it!😂
Great minds think alike. So MANY great minds here at C&C, Jeff being the greatest of course 😀.
I was put in mind of what kids say, right away, when they did actually do the thing they know their parents suspect them of doing. Fits both scenarios.
And the Baltimore Francis Scott Key bridge wasn’t terrorism.🤔
Unless you count the terrorists in DC.

Re: the attack in Moscow, this article is an essential read:

I wouldn’t have caught them and I’m a writer. Maybe newspapers have hired lawyers for journalists so they can cover their future lawsuits.
Maybe Hillary Clinton and her team submit copy to every captured media editor on these stories. The editor just assigns it ti someone to make a few minor changes. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Hillary writes and is the head planner of all of the narratives and all of the evil going on in the world. She is a lawyer so she’s got the skill and expertise and she’s also evil so it comes naturally. Met her once in person, around 1998 to 2000 even shook her hand, I was a democrat then, but I could feel her negative energy very very strongly and left feeling perplexed, it was such a bad experience. I didn’t find out the truth about her for at least 10 years after that!
A lot of us noticed it quite early on. We always wondered how the Democrat faithful didn't quite see it yet.
I’m sure there’s an entire team/task force around this. It takes a village 😂
You give her WAY too much credit. The Clinton's are grifters, Bill the smarter of the two.
The thing is, the more these "news" outlets do this, the more they erode trust in their own reporting. Even people on the low end of the IQ curve can tell when their own personal, physical safety is at risk. So, when the MSM says "don't believe your lying eyes," it really just damages their credibility. If I could give them advice, Id say please keep going with that strategy.
Where can I sign up for this class - actually they teach journalists how to implement these tricks in their writing in college - seems there should be a counter class right?👏🏼
Yes...and it can lead to unspeakable evil.
Lenin developed a special way of writing that made it possible to establish the ‘formula-slogan’ in the mind of the reader or listener . . . Then, as the most important compositional element, there is the use of repetition, by means of which a rectangle is formed which concentrates the attention, narrows the field of possibilities, and squeezes thought into a tight ring from which there is only one exit . . .
Total power over the Word gives the Master of the Word a magical power over all communications. Soviet speech is always a monologue because there is no other party to talk to. On the other side is the enemy. In the Soviet language there are no neutral words – every word carries an ideological burden . . . That is why in Soviet language the same words are repeated over and over again, until they become a signal that acts without any effort of thought.
The effect of set phrases and slogans is also assured by their always being repeated in absolutely the same form . . . The Soviet language became the most important means of preventing people from acquiring more knowledge than the state wished . . . Soviet speech lost its freedom.
The language was put together out of slogans and quotations from the Leader [Stalin] . . . The crushing, unquestioned authority of the Leader’s word is the result to a large extent of his right and power to name the Enemy . . . The word that signifies the enemy must be striking, easy to remember, implying condemnation by its very sound, and always imprecise, so that everyone who at a given moment does not please the Leader can be included under it rubric . . . "
- Mikhail Heller (Cogs in the Wheel: The Formation of Soviet Man)
CHILLING!
Right?
It's to eliminate history. For example how many people know that the definition of herd immunity and vaccine were changed in the still of the night?
They seek to eliminate history by eliminating reference
I once debated in school the premise, "The pen is mightier than the sword" - I took PRO - I won!! How many wars have been instigated by the POWER OF POLEMIC WORDS!! Too many to enumerate.
Jeff does a pretty bad job on this one.
I feel you need to change your brand of coffee. Or brew type. Organic beans? Cold brew? Less acid in the cup.
He seems like a Black Rifle Coffee type of guy. Liberal Jewish owner who trashes Kyle Rittenhouse and Trump, and donates to ActBlue.
Please please please ignore it. Do not acknowledge it exists. Zero to be gained by replying or even saying anything about it.
Is Black Rifle Coffee a RINO group? I heard about them but haven’t looked into it.
I don't like Coffee in general. I refuse to support BRCC.
But hey, you can make pretty bad ASSumptions if you want :)
2 N's must have a couple of other substack accounts because, who would like 2 N's comments. I mean really?
I believe there is at least a couple people that follow Jeff just to see what people they don't like , are saying. Months ago someone on the comments had a private comment for me and said they only follow to know what the other side is thinking. I did not respond😏
Not everyone is as woke and brain dead as you.
Some people have seen the light and changed.
I follow a couple of substacks here.
Ryan Mcbeth (Superb)
Sarcastosaurus (Okay, does go very indepth)
Edward Slavsquat (Covid related)
and this one.
Jeff's covid coverage was on point. His war coverage is subpar, on par with the efficiency and safety of the covid vaccine.
I don't do coffee, period. I tried it a long time ago and it was just nasty. It's like an IPA-not my thing.
You don't have a relative in the Marine Corps, do you? We had a guy with the same last name at our unit.
Hard to say. Buchholz is uncommon on some places but Minnesota, Dakota's there are more. A Prussian name
Coffee is a lot like beer. It needs to be quality beans. iPA is awful. But on earw occasions I will have a dark frothy beer.
Then you owe it to us to point out exactly where he could have done better.
I've posted numerous times. Jeff has deleted comments in the past.
His coverage of covid is pretty good.
his relentless parroting of the worst Russian propaganda talking points is laughably bad.
Even the Iranians are more right than he is.
I hope one day your soul finds the joy you need. Have a blessed, Happy Easter. ✝️

Facts are hard for the pro Soviet mind to grasp.
Why did russian fsb officers do nothing? Why did they not heed the warnings given?
Thank you for covering nyc. While the 3 dem stooges were raising millions at radio city music hall, trump visited the slain NYPD officers family. A decade of progressive demoralization has destroyed our greatest city: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/escape-from-new-york-gaza-favela-2024
It was the greatest city in the greatest country - past tense. Now even the banking industry is fleeing NYC to Miami. Wall Street will follow. Lawlessness (woke Marxism) will drive business out of a city and out of a country.
Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank has sounded the alarm regarding using “ law fare” against Trump and the devastating effects it will have on NY.
Yessss!! I am so glad he has! He is uber conservative whereas Mark Cuban is a liberal. Cuban was also heavily pushing jabs.
Cuban also has an online pharmacy. That man has a real nose for cash flow.
And his pharmacy grab business
Trump lawfare?
Or Trump, lawfare, and ……..?
How many ways to destroy NYC: 1) Normalize anarchy through carefully scripted media. 2) Normalize government tyranny in the name of public safety. 3) Enable Anarchy through compromised government officials (elected and bureaucrats). Adams is just performing his role.
Plus, they seem to have some blackmail material on him.
I would use the word “selected” rather than elected) 😳
Liberaly sprinkle lawless illegals.
they are "Experts" and agents of The Revolution indeed
Sounds pretty much like spring/summer of 2020.
That’s how many of us Oregonians feel about the Rose City, Portland. Destroyed beyond recognition by the DemonDems. 😢
And as a WAState native (who moved to Kalifornistan in 1984) I mourn for Seattle & Tacoma, too..the entire Left Coast is being destroyed by the Dhimmicrat contagion. 💔
I went to Portland many, many years ago to visit an equipment manufacturer for work. I remember thinking, “This is a beautiful place. I think I could live here!” I’m so glad I never seriously looked for a job out there. And I have zero desire to go back to the west coast.
And it is contagious even to the southern boarder.
I was there recently for work and couldn't believe how awful it was. I never liked it b/c too big, too loud, too obnoxious, etc., but it's immediately obvious it's dying or dead now.
Nothing works, the streets are an open drug use zone, all the streets, not just some. People smoking crack in the middle of the day on a busy sidewalk, for example. The buildings and infrastructure are crumbling and decaying. They look old, dirty, and gross.
It's just an embarrassment of a s**thole. I'm ashamed it's in America.
What Jeff didn't cover is the subway system itself is a threat to safety. It's like it hasn't been maintained, much less upgraded, in 20 years. It's rumbling, creaking, groaning, screeching like the cars are about to fall apart or fall over. Huge cracking sounds when you're in the car, like it's going to snap apart. Like a house cracks during an earthquake.
Compare all this to what you see in thriving places in the US and abroad and it's pretty clear what leftist politics causes. And it's pretty clear NYC is a past-tense entity. Good riddance, IMO.
For a real eye-opener, watch videos of the Moscow Metro. Its stunning.. And while you're at it, watch videos on the Streets of Moscow. Where are the drug addicts, homeless people, trash and graffiti? The city is spotless. Also notice the people. They are generally nicely dressed, and behave respectfully towards others. Why is Moscow so different from New York? Russia is also, and always has been, multicultural. I continue to pursue the answers.
Because they punish criminals and they don't listen to Western academic "leftists" who claim to have discovered a better way of doing things by reading (and plagiarizing) a bunch of crappy, outdated books.
It's a direct relationship between crime and decay and the willingness of leadership to punish those who step out of line. And I mean punish, not just "sentence" them to community service.
They also don't have modern, "Marxist" academic clowns informing their policies. These people who claim "the Science says" when what they mean is their ideas are informed by 1960s political gibberish that runs 100% counter to actual science. Instead of giving them high 6-figure sinecures in policy roles, the Russians laugh at those types of idiots. Like when Putin gives a speech to the WEF and calls them all perverts and pedophiles.
If you really want to be wowed, check out Dubai. That is what happens when capital flees hostile environments like Europe to seek out a place where it is appreciated.
I think reason that NYC is so screwed up is cultivation of resentment.
The way the left "works" is by telling every group except straight white men of Christian origin (call them SWMCs, archetype being Daniel Penny, or even Trump) that they have been oppressed and exploited by SWMCs.
Most people are at least somewhat insecure about their own abilities, and this embarrassment is painful. So the left can get massive political support by taking away that pain and sanctioning an enjoyable blame in its place. The leftist leadership gets votes, and the leftist pawns get to enjoy a masturbatory anger instead of doing the work of self-reflection and self-improvement.
I think the right response is:
1. an accurate understanding of leftist psychology, as I'm trying to work out here
2. calm and sincere explanation to the pawns that they have been used, and exactly how this happened
3. encouragement of the pawns to rely on their own abilities
When people have an optimism that they can improve their lives through their own abilities and hard work, they drop leftism, recognizing it as a disease which destroys everything.
The Russians, having lived through Communism, are well aware that leftism is a disease, and that is why Moscow is on the upswing while NYC continues downhill.
please post them if you find the answers
20 years? Try 40. Now they are going to charge an extra toll for vehicles inside the Downtown and Mudtiwn areas. No mention who gets the $$$...
Sounds like London
They arrest & jail criminals.
And this is precisely why, last fall, we didn't venture into NYC when we were an hour upstate. Oh how we wanted to go explore. But our two families with 7 kids,ages 6-14, just didn't feel like it was safe enough. Mind you, we'd already hit up DC, Boston & Philly, walking their streets and using their metro systems - but NYC just didn't feel safe whatsoever. Stories like this and comments like yours confirm our gut feeling to stay away (sadly!)
Why did you venture into those other shitholes. They all suck, really bad.
What do you think Frank would have to say now about his beloved city?
First agenda, take the beautiful cities and turn them into 3rd world countries. Even Portland was beautiful at one time. Then the 3rd world-ness spreads.
I live outside of LA... Years ago, I commented on FB that it was starting to look like a 3rd world country in some areas. Some nut job from Scotland, who has probably not been here recently, if at all, said "You don't know what a 3rd world country looks like!" Okay, so what do you call it when the homeless are putting up tents along the highway and throwing trash everywhere?
it is far easier to destroy than to build up
The Byzantine Empire was took over a thousand years to build but was destroyed in a day!
Ah...but don't worry...we'll all come together again in the bread lines
Happy Easter RG
God bless you BINYB! He has risen!
Best handle on the stacks my friend
NYC persistent subway murder is a new symptom of mental and spiritual illness. More police and military goes after the symptom not the root cause. Leaders there are not effective.
Anyway, the poor people that rely on public transportation are not really free. They are captured and reliant, so adding military/police is the next logical step.
They will never know the freedom of heading out the door down the highway on their own motorcycle or car, Jeep or truck. They are trapped.
I notice you didn’t include a Tesla because that can be made null & void by simply flipping a switch to our electricity. Which is the plan.
Sincerely, your conspiracy truther 😉
EV is a short leash for sure. The car rental companies are figuring that out the hard way.
Just like the ship that hit the Key Bridge.
You do realize that if they shut off our electricity, you can't get gasoline either.
But can go 300+ miles on a tank + carry and store fuel. This allows getting away from a local disaster. And you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to repair a gas engine. I’ve had to repair on trips before but EV technology requires special training and tools. I couldn’t be self reliant with EV.
At least we can privately store gasoline. 😉
I have feared this for years and years.
Jeff, your discernment of vocabulary employment and tactics by The New Yuck Times makes me contrast their "reporting" and storied narratives with Yellow Journalism and Pamphleteering. and Conspiracy Theory. Perhaps we could term their muddled, double speak and Newspeak as RAINBOW Journalism?. Whatever event or occurrence or statement made by anyone everywhere must be held up to the prism of Rainbow ethics, Rainbow ends, Rainbow means to those ends. The prominent, flashy Rainbow symbol of not being universally drowned due to hedonistic hateful selfish pursuit of pleasure, violent brutality, utilitarian exploitation of the downtrodden and innocent, ignoring and/or recrafting of god and creation into whatever needed to justify one's or society's mal- and dysfunctions.
Rainbow Journalism is whatever color it needs to be for whatever purposes its' purveyors require the desired spinformation and effects it will have upon readers, it also permanentizes the record of delusional wrongs in a manner the masters of delusion are comfortable with. Belief-Masters and social-malinfluencers from the Gvt-Corporate inner brain require the Media Mouth and Sleight of Handing to arbitrate the Truth and malleableize information and facts for proper categorizing into permissible and non-favored status
I understand what you are suggesting but I still see the rainbow as a symbol of God’s promise to never again bring a flood to wipe out mankind.
I hate that it was co-opted hy the alphabet faction of our society.
Do you realize the rainbow they use has been altered for their perversion. The rainbow itself is over the Throne of God in Revelations. It represents the 7 Spirits of God, which are describe His character and how He moves. The LMNOP group has removed the dark blue from their version of the rainbow, which symbolizes the Spitit of the Glory of God. It's not surprising or a coincidence that the enemy of our souls has goaded his followers into removing the Presence of God from HIS own rainbow!
My thoughts exactly while I was reading WP.
His premise is spot on; just needs a better term describing it. Like Black Journalism- oh wait! That won’t do. I give😳
Why did your god want to wipe out humanity the first time?
Demonic possession of these random acts of violence for me is a given. However, strict laws need to be enforced even on these entities occupying bodies: lock them up in institutions, jails, psychiatric hospitals, etc.They have no business on the streets.
We need to bring back insane asylums. Not like in One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest, but an actual hospital like setting that gets these people off the streets until they can be rehabilitated. And if they can’t? Oh well. They stay out of society.
💯
Ironic that Rudolph Steiner said that vaccines would cut humans off from their soul. I think he meant all pharmaceuticals. This was 100 years ago.
And, actually execute prisoners who are on death penalty.
but you must not upset the crybabies
In a few short weeks congestion pricing goes into effect, many New Yorkers and commuters will be forced to use the subway system and buses (which are slightly safer than the subway) since driving into Manhattan will be too costly. I pray that I am wrong, but I’m not sure this once great city can rebound this time.
Had been unfamiliar with this, had to look into it......CRAZY!
"Passenger and commercial vehicles will now pay $15 once they enter the "congestion relief zone," which is below 60th Street in Manhattan. During the overnight hours when there is less traffic, the toll drops to $3.75. The charge will only happen once a day"
.........Pretty sure they need the revenue ...... gotta feed/shelter the illegal immigrants - OOPS! , I mean, the homeless.
I get this thinking, but at some point don't people ask themselves if it's worth sacrificing their safety, and even human dignity, to be a part of this? I saw a video yesterday of some crazed mentally-ill black guy (and yes the race is relevant) terrorizing a bunch of non-blacks on a NYC subway with completely deranged and physically threatening behavior. They all sat there pretending not to see him. Nobody moved or took any protective posture as they didn't want to attract his attention and have his wrath turned on them. Plus they no doubt knew the lunatic was a member of the protected class.
This type of behavior is soul-crushing. Whether people realize it or not, they are sacrificing their own dignity in the hopes some lunatic won't pick them as their next victim. They are accepting that some guy who's skin color is currently in vogue has a right to physically abuse them. No one has to live like this, they can leave a city that tolerates this insanity.
People have become so beaten down by some really strange collective guilt that they think they have to put up with this. You don't, you can leave at any time, no one has a gun to your head. Yes, it may not be easy and may require sacrifices in other areas. Yes, it may require a new job. Yes, it may require leaving family members behind who are too brainwashed to take their own protective action. But it certainly can be done.
Yet people continue to place themselves, and their loved ones(!!), in this dangerous and soul degrading environment. Plus if something happens to you what is going to happen to those who depend on you? It's some sort of really strange Stockholm Syndrome is the only thing I can figure. People think they somehow brought this on themselves and deserve no better. It's not true.
Similar to a crop of obnoxious kids cursing, spitting, talking about oral sex in front of old women on a park bench, or families in a restaurant, this is enabled by the weak and diminished and corrupted souls of men, and encouraged by Marxists; this impolite and insane behaviour needs to be choke-holded wherever encountered.
Jeff C, I hereby request that you run for office of some kind, or at a minimum become someone's speech-writer.
One of these days, someone will stand up to one of these lunatics. I look forward to that day.
NY won’t let people carry pepper spray or mace. Maybe knives, not sure. But who wants hand to hand combat if it can be avoided? Even Byrna air guns are banned from shipping to NY. The people there cannot defend against criminals.
I think ignoring some verbal lunacy and (non-violent) bizarre behaviour can be appropriate in many circumstances. Not making eye contact is part of that. Taking a “tough” stance is more likely to be “punching down”. It’s a bit like ignoring some of the “noise” on Twitter/X - but with more important consequences.
As a society, I believe we have unconsciously chosen self-destruction b/c it is the logical conclusion to the materialist ideology. We cannot justify our existence
I knew someone would say this! Haha. Don’t be insulted. I mean “ poor” in that I feel bad and have sympathy. The people I know who live in big cities without personal transportation are in fact much richer than me. Words have many meanings.
Yes, having a car in a very large city is often more trouble than it’s worth.
The helicopter class is unaffected and will make a nice profit on the subway upgrades
Can anyone imagine Sinatra belting out "New York, New York" today? Of course, not just NYC. Every major U.S. city is degrading, from San Francisco to Portland to Baltimore, and now invading small town America. One might almost wonder if this was planned all along.
Of course it is planned
I have actually heard the Governor Hugh Carey of NY belt it out once. Did a great job signing it
”Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
Romans 8:37-39 NKJV

Amen. So thankful for this truth.
So thankful for the Word of God and it’s truth during these dark times.
🙌 Amen !!!!!!!!
Shared this passage with a friend just yesterday!
I just read this passage last night! (Again).
The Lord speak to us!!!! We just need to respond back accordingly.
That’s the reason for no trust in government - no matter what happens they try to shape the narrative for political or strategic.
The Baltimore Bridge collapse is a great example - before anyone was even on site to investigate the government announced there is no reason to suspect terrorist involvement - who do they even say that? Why not just say we don’t know what happened and we will find out.
The new guy in charge of the FBI Baltimore office, only arrived at that position the day before.
He announced less than 8 hours later that it was not terrorism.
Fastest investigation ever.
Now...if the FBI could only find that pesky J6 pipe bomber...still "looking" for 3 years.
Yeah, amazing, isn't it? The government moves at the speed it wants to. Baltimore bridge and "covid" were instant knowledge, but Medicare billing has been down in my pharmacy for a solid month or more (frankly, I've lost count), potentially because of a security issue, and they STILL can't fix it? Give me a break. If we were still giving out "covid" "vaccines", I bet you a 20 bucks that system would be running just fine.
VA still giving out covid DeathVax to veterans.
They have an extra "dose" for veterans 65 and over.
My daughter and her family have a special needs man living with them. Getting the meds he is required to take has been a nightmare this past year.
I'm sorry, that is very difficult. We have had a few shortages in the pharmacy. Mostly they are resolved in a day or so, but some generics are not to be found. We've been out of weight loss drugs for a while, although IMO those are not nearly as important as other drugs.
What is the implication of that for everyone else?
Instant Government Assessment to a catastrophic event, is the first “Tell” of a Government cover up. It’s much easier to identify the holes in the Government narrative, when you instantly suspect a cover up.
It IS openly their POLICY and procedure; that way no MATTER the cause or actors involved, THEY OWN the narrative, facts and truth belong to them as matter of law in essence, no one can allege or speculate to others and we all wait until the official expert investigation has concluded...see how it works? IN 20 years time we may get the Nashville Trans-Killer's Manifesto; redacted, edited, and only a digital copy. They OWN the TRUTH
I wonder who P. Diddy failed to pay off or mistakenly tried to blackmail. Poor bastard, they make you, they break you he's finding out. Patsy Rap and music labels makin da Money and gettin tha Honey for decades but silence is best managed with violence.
P. Diddy's legal problems are a "warning shot" for others to stay in line.
Diddy knows where the bodies are buried. I doubt he'll have any consequences for whatever he's done - but I hope I'm wrong.
he's likely to get epstein'd don't you think?, how does he allow such a disgraceful dust-up to threaten his owners and cause distraction and worldwide attention in open view for all to see? (thas right, he likely ain't never been nothin but a well washed purtied up slave doin what he told and livin' large an payin' it up to massa). You know what they did to Toby in Roots when he dun run off like that?!
It was Diddy’s ex employee Lil Rod who sued him for 30 Million that set off the investigation. Real name is Rodney Jones I think. He filed one month before the raid on the houses, and a few days after Diddy settled with Cassie the ex girlfriend. After Diddy settled with Cassie, a handful of others came out to also sue Diddy and that opened it up.
Or indict Ray Epps?
And Bydone will pay for it! Can’t have those pesky insurance investigators poking around!
Because insurance companies know that discovery is our friend.
Now when catastrophic infrastructure demolition occurs, I don’t assume it’s accidental. That bridge was there 47 years without incident like this and technology has multiplied since. One would think technology makes things more repeatable, but perhaps it opens more doors to tampering. 911, Maui. Palestine, all the farm, granary and forest fires... I will always be skeptical since the investigation details are never fully available.
There is NO EXCUSE that this bridge did not have safeguards installed for it from 2002-2024 is there? Except that those "experts" in charge DID NOT WANT safety and security upgrades put into place on this key bridge.
Makes me wander about other bridge safeguards...
The excuse is that our money is sent to Israel to kill Palestinians and to Ukraine to prop up a failed Nazi State.
Palestinians = Christians Jews Druse & Arabs. Which one are you referring to?
More doors to tampering…bingo.
I’ve been suspicious and hesitant about technological advances particularly as it relates to everything having computer chips and “smart” everything. The smart appliances are the dumbest. They all foul up constantly, cost a fortune to buy and to repair, and I definitely don’t want anything that can be hacked, or shut off remotely by anyone. Like smart electrical boxes, which are also hazardous to your health.
People laugh at me for not wanting to use the cloud. It’s always been off and I recently had to activate it to transfer files from an obsolete Mac to a new one. The same weekend a bank account debit card I rarely use was used by someone to play apple computer games, stealing $400 from me before the bank caught it. I don’t believe in coincidence. Apple didn’t want to refund me after the obvious fraud either so my bank did and proceeded to fight apple for it.
The more we progress the more trouble I see. Everything including baby monitors can be hacked now and people can listen to your conversations through most of these devices, many have hidden cameras as well, including smart TVs. But people keep buying every dumb “smart” thing on the market. No thanks!
Yup, same thing the morning after the 2020 election. Millions of ballots still uncounted and the headlines were “There was no election fraud!” Of course, I thought there must be because they couldn’t possibly know that one way or the other. Similar to “safe and effective” based on no real clinical trials.
Safe & Effective voting😉
😆
The most secure election ever, don't you know?
They truly don’t want us to know what happened, and are hoping that we will move onto the next disaster, and not put too much thought into it.
Well, it also doesn't help that these infrastructure and supply chain "accidents" have been happening with regularity for years. We all know this rate of "accidents" isn't normal. Though the liars tell us it is. They want us to view each one as an isolated incident instead of looking at the broader pattern.
We have to ask why did multiple government entities allow so much illegal invasion for so long? R and D entities, both. Are we to believe that was just an accident or that all of them just happened to be populated with the stupidest people at the same time? And if they all were populated with the stupidest people at the same time, how did THAT happen? Jeff sometimes writes as though Soros is a conspiracy theory, he doesn't exist, and he doesn't influence what happens here. (Reminds me of how people used to talk about Epstein.)
Regardless of who allowed the influx and why, we have to consider that our enemies have certainly snuck across special forces and spies. If I were Putin or Xi, that's what I would have done. It wouldn't be too hard for them to start a few fires, sabotage some vehicles, etc.
So, yeah, when they jump out and say "NOTHING TO SEE HERE" in record time, it really just confirms the suspicions. They are lying again. One would have to be incredibly naive to think all these events are just random, unconnected accidents and mistakes by the dumb people.
We’d like someone to explain the huge cloud of diesel smoke above the ship before impact. Certainly looked like it was under power.
Some of the shipping engineer types have, in various places (links provided the day after, in these comments, I think); I think one said it was from a generator re-starting.
NPR and FBI call that tactical "pre-Bunking" a device to quash unfounded misinformation and conspiracy theory. It isn't premature, it is actual policy so that only experts can analyze and conclude what occurred and how to view it contextually and correctly. This is SOP in EVERY situation everywhere all the time.
Have a Happy Easter everyone ✝️
I was dismayed at work yesterday… a conversation was started with my young coworkers (25-30 yr olds) “What actually is Good Friday?” they were asking. “I think that’s when that rock was rolled away” one responded. “No that would actually be Easter” I interjected. ☹️ “Wait, so what is Easter again?” They really were that clueless. And there were many of them. I don’t know why I’m still so shocked. I know many people don’t practice Christianity or attend church on a regular basis but are you telling me that upcoming generation knows nothing about the Bible or religion?? We are definitely doomed. I pray they find God and asap.
I think it’s also God’s timing. I didn’t know much about Easter when I was 30 years old either, even though I always considered myself a Christian. sad but true. I went to Sunday School at a Methodist church as a child but I didn’t remember much. Then I went to church again on my own in my 20s but must not have been paying much attention. I married a Jewish guy and further got lost, forgot everything. It wasn’t until Covid that I was quickly snapped awake one day. It was God’s timing. No doubt. He suddenly lifted my veil and everything He wanted me to know quickly found it’s way into my brain! I also found the right people, this blog, the right church, a new husband, it all came together! He definitely had a plan. Praise the Lord!!
At least they had you there to help educate them. You planted a seed. ✝️
Where I worked, we were a team of 10, mostly younger and older baby boomers of different ethnic ancestry, (and one of sexual orientation) and who would mention in passing that they had 'just attended mass', or 'will ask for Good Friday off', or 'will pray for you for xyz reason', etc.
The general manager was a millenial, raised in a former communist country, and heard our words of prayer support, and our requests for time off to observe. She claimed that she did not believe in God.
She observed Christmas and Easter in the secular way.
I pray and hope that one day, the seeds of belief which our words planted will bloom in her heart.
Invite them to your Church/Bible Study! If they are asking questions, answer them with a Bible nearby!😇Happy Easter🌅✝️🇺🇸☕️
Blame their parents. Society was a good baby sitter teaching religion, values, morality for a while, but when society decided to change, parents went along with the change.
Last night at Good Friday service, our pastor described Good Friday as "the best worst day of the year"
purposely done in school (and now in the White House): No Christian symbols will be allowed during this year's EASTER egg roll. Brandon has finally done it!
In the 'egg art' contest, at least. I'd love to see the eggs that were selected as winners. I looked this morning, but didn't see any images on a brief search.
yet it is being held as an EASTER EGG ROLL. Oh well, our devout catholic Brandon wants keep the trannies happy by calling this Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility
I agree with you, I'm just being pedantic in pointing out that the eggs that get rolled aren't the eggs in the contest in which religious art is forbidden. For the contest, kids had to submit ideas before a date in January. Professional artists would then paint the winning designs onto real eggs for display, on Easter Sunday, I think. Religious themes were not the only topic forbidden. The contest was for kids of National Guardsmen to show aspects of their personal lives (barring their religion, presumably!).
What does an Easter egg have to do with Christianity?
If you asked what an egg has to do with Christianity, I could understand the question. The fact that it is an “Easter” egg kind of narrows it down to something to do with Christianity, doesn’t it?
No it doesn't. Easter gets its name from Eostre the goddess of Spring.
The celebrations stem from observation of the Vernal Equinox.
They have nothing to do with a resurrection which there are no dates for.
Great question- nobody wants to answer. For that matter, what do flowers and rabbits have to do with Jesus either?
Symbolizes rebirth. The red is Jesus’ blood
I don't recall seeing many red Easter eggs.
Yes..I had that experience with someone years ago. Took me by such surprise. We are in a post Christian time now.
Hang on, Sunday is coming! May the Easter message of Hope fill your hearts. That while it’s always darkest before the dawn and while we may cry in the night, joy is coming in the morning. That while we may weep at 3 in the afternoon “My God, My God why have you forsaken me” Sunday is coming! That message that God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish!!
Sunday IS coming!! Happy Easter to all. 🙏🏻
With regard to not only the subway situation but so many other problems today, if the consequences for bad behavior were actually enforced, life would be much better across the boards.
Such a simple concept isn't it. Yet somehow it escapes those in charge of blue areas of the country who created this mess. Bad actions require bad consequences otherwise chaos ensues.
How dare you refute messrs Cloward and Piven?!
Very well said C Rabbit.
I’d dub yours the BINGO! comment 🤗.
Bring on the body scanners - which play right into Gates' plan of irradiating everyone with millimeter wave 5G UWB radiation: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/breastimplants
That's one of the reasons I stopped flying. If it wasn't enough to have TSA pawing through my stuff and having to take off 1/4" sole flip flops, now I have to choose between someone seeing me naked or feeling me up. NO. Hard pass! But then again, pilots keep having heart attacks and airlines keep hiring DIE, so maybe it's good I never see another flight.
I hear you - well I'll take a potential creepy feel over the microwaves - I'm all about making someone's day (:
I had a female boss who was pretty good-looking. She and I had a good relationship, so we discussed things rather freely. She said that she never went thru TSA and didn’t get “extra attention”. She had a pretty resilient attitude about the whole thing. And she could chew your ass politely. (An amazing skill…) So she handled it. And that was back in the 2000s.
All intentional actions in taking our FREEDOM one step at a time …
And then murder us
Always good to have a ….erm, terminal finisher
Woa!
"Evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8580522/
And they said we were conspiracy theorists.
I wear the "conspiracy theorist" badge with pride. Turns out we're right a lot of the time. Maybe not always, but a lot.
More like a conspiracy realist.
I kinda want a sash to wear. “Proud Conspiracy Theorist” aka “Proud Critical Thinker”. I might have to make one. 😉
I always tell my husband, well I haven’t been wrong yet … 🤣
The joke's on them! Turns out our tin-foil hats keep us safe!
Order your hats and EMF blocking underwear: https://tinfoilcap.co/
I saw where PA courts did a good thing the other day!!! Yay for PA!!!
anything the WOKE crybaby lefties don't like they call "conspiracy theory" just to dismiss it
You mean a conspiRACIST?
Thanks Florida Man - it's where influenza got its name, the "influence" of the stars / electromagnetic forces of our world:
https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/why-influenza-is-an-electrical-illness
Lest we forget the 11years solar flare cycle that began Covid and will return during UN2030. Why is National Guard arriving for the April eclipse? That also causes "Influenza".
Regarding April 8 eclipse, take a listen to Lance Wallnau podcast … very interesting ! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lance-wallnau-show/id1376106678?i=1000650749093
Ahhh. So now we’ll have an outbreak of a virus that needs a new & improved 💉which will of course degrade our health further, which leads to a new pharma cure for the symptoms.
Nicely played, evil ones. 👏🏻
Surprised it wasn't retracted.
One of the papers reviewers made this senseable comment regarding 5G deployment:
"It also provides evidence that the Precautionary Principle would call for more study before continuing the widespread deployment of 5G towers across the world, as well as the release of satellites that are envisioned to surround the planet. While bringing Internet access to the world’s population seems to be a good thing (in providing information to the societies that lack it now), we need to consider the Law of Unintended Consequences. The plans are for 5G to blanket the world, leaving no place without this new exposure to this Microwave and Milliwave radiation, and potentially effecting all life on earth, with the exception of beings that live in lead-lined shelters, or Faraday cages. Based on this paper alone, it indicates the need for further studies, before this is widely deployed."
Elon Musk should read the paper.
Arthur Firstenberg has been writing about this: https://cellphonetaskforce.org/where-have-all-the-insects-gone/
This is very frightening, but I don't see the end. People will not give up their cell phones.
Natilie, you are so right and I have been ignoring Arthur, because I don't see a way out.
I used to joke to myself that there would be something like an Apocalyptic type of event, but society would assemble to rebuild. The first act in the rebuilding came from the dental community--we have to add fluoride to the drinking water.
What a joke.
Not the study or its findings. But that TPTB are so dumb as to think adding novel energy patterns to an energy-based system would not disrupt said system.
We just read in our biology book the process of extracting ENERGY from glucose. ENERGY.
And they went and dabbled with it (to put it politely) via their wireless communications. And messed it all up. And tried to call us stupids.
I worked for a city maintenance yard, at that time communications were via radio, in our small office we had 10 radio base stations and an antenna directly above us on the roof. I still think stress, office politics and EMF made it impossible for me to reach full retirement age. I was diagnosed with the nebulous fibromyalgia. What I struggle with is that most people care more about having a strong cell connection than they do about having bees.
Awesome! My first red flag was a brief glimpse of a slide in a podcast video that stated 5G affected latent viruses.
Second red flag was the map of world hot spots of CV compared to where 5G was clustered.
Now there is a paper on it! Woohoo! Thank you!
Based. Am I reading correctly. Affected if had jab, I get that. But is this saying people also affected in this same way if suffered the c flu? Thank you.
Well the authors are Trying to make a link. The missing link is injectable not mentioned. I agree that wireless has its hazards, but linked to CB19 alone.
The City officials are fine with problems that more $$$ and more legislation is required to "solve"; the political donors, asset class, the controllers, and the contracts are the mother's milk of modern politics and corporate partnerships; this IS THE Cycle of Money and Control; cracking down on criminals too harshly or sensibly within the existing budgets and power structures IS NOT what Progressive-Commies do. What we see at Every Turn to garner Grants, Secure infrastructure, Constrain the populations ARE the Goals and Ends they want, and are self-perpetuating with no resolution and always yet another crisis to infest themselves in by "investments".
"Progressive-Commies" I like that description you used!
yes, Progressive and progressivism are only half-labelling; Progressing toward "what"? is the key component. Progressive Communist IS the correct term, as even Progressive Socialism is acknowledged as a stepping stone to a higher goal of the Revolution (inspired and initiated in ancient times by Satan some say). Communism is the aim; a Slave Planet of humanity who are contented and resigned to their lot to serve the Master Class who themselves may contend and spat like gods on Olympus, but who are never challenged by the livestock herd of humans who serve and exist at their pleasure and whim.
Yeah none of this is confusing when you realize they really don't mind killing us.
I knew this was going to be a good roundup as soon as I saw the title... I thought ‘oooh, Jeff is in a mood this morning!’
The subway story, and ‘tamping’ to minimize the lack of leadership on root causes of problems... we’re seeing this all over from Democrat politicians, like Biden talking about how evil corporations are for shrinking bags of chips while he’s busy sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, billions to net zero goals, etc and therefore being the one who is devaluing the dollar to begin with. Bastards. I hate that so many people don’t see it.
We live in a secular, pagan and increasingly, deranged society.
Modern celebrations of Easter and Christmas have no connection to Jesus. The attempt to remove God from ‘religious’ celebrations is not only alarming but displays the devil’s hands all over it. Pick some other day to celebrate a frivolous festival, but leave our faith-filled ceremonies alone.
I will celebrate Easter for its significance; an affirmation of my joy in the resurrection of My Lord and Savior.
In fairness to the PR firm charged with spiffing NYC Subways: After the new fare-jumper barriers have been installed, riders will have the comfort of knowing that they were not pushed onto the tracks by a "criminal fare-evader".
I mean, if you can’t enforce the border because it’s racist and unkind then maybe it’s also racist and unkind to enforce subway entry barriers 😑
Fabulous. RunningLogic on target 🎯👏👏👏🤣
BOOM.
Living up to your name, Running"Logic"!
😊😁
mmm, that does sound like liberal logic.
Throughout my career in a federal, safety-related occupation I’ve witnessed the outcome of poor hiring practices. How did the agency deal with individuals so incompetent that they posed a danger to public safety? They were promoted to management positions. I see a similarity here with the Administration’s Cabinet positions. Trump could rightfully claim that he’s fired more qualified individuals from his show, “The Apprentice”.
Dilbert was hilarious because it was so true.
I like your take on the wording, Jeff, and you are right. "Police said" means next to nothing. That could be something a policeman said 20 years ago about another incident, since it's my understanding people have been pushed before, and this reporter is using a true event out of context. But it also could be a flat out lie, since when has the media been honest? Anyhow, this is along the lines of "experts say" and "doctors recommend". Yeah, really? None of that means anything. Word play has become too common and most readers won't pay enough attention to see it.
The only way to stop that kind of invasion of privacy - scanners - is to flat out refuse them. I spent about 6 months (collectively) in NYC in 1998 and 99 and New Yorkers are a feisty bunch. I'm sure they can pull it off. I have to believe none of them are happy with the mess NYC has become.
Also, where did NYC get the money? Aren't they spending it on housing illegal aliens?
The experts who failed to secure a key bridge will now make it up to us all by securing NYC Subways.
Great point on experts say, physicians agree...
“Give us the weapons to stop the Russian attacks, or Ukraine will escalate its counterattacks on Russia’s airfields, energy facilities and other strategic targets.”
It’s so obvious, it’s pathetic. “If you don’t help us, we’ll do it ourselves”. Uhhhh, that’s a threat?! Okay, please proceed. The only way this makes sense is as you assert. Excellent observation, Jeff.
Not to get off-topic, but the Biden administration is now also being threatened by the president of Mexico. If you don’t send us billions of dollars, we’re just going to keep pushing illegals through your borders. Pathetic.
Wars and threats are a dominate theme for this administration. Pretty much they can’t get anything right. Even relations with a neighbor country are failure.
everything Joe Biden (and Democrats) touches turns to SHI-! Everything.
Emboldened by WEAKNESS, nice guys finish last as all the other kids join in with the bully to beat you down so they aren't targeted too.
Can anyone name one narrative that was truthful?? Within 24 hours they said the Baltimore Key bridge destruction wasn’t terrorism and Biden will write a check for it; well that’s quick, takes longer to determine liability in a fender bender in a Publix parking lot. Whatever the official narrative is you can be sure it’s the exact opposite. Same with COVID, 9-11, climate change, Afghanistan withdrawal, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Federal Reserve Act, Jan 6, I’ll stop there else I’ll be here all day.
It seems every lie they make they justify it with “tamp down fears”. They can potentially lie about Kate to “tamp down fears” about sudden death, they made sure to have police in place at the Key bridge to be hero’s who can save us, to tamp down fears of us driving across bridges. They can get LeBron to not discuss his son’s myocarditis collapse, under the guise of not creating a massive amount of fear.
Fear Sells.... but too large a dose is upsetting and counterproductive
Yes they want to control what we fear—Covid, yes, killers in subways, no.
