Beyond all the good things C&C has brought to the fore today, I’d like to point out that Bret Weinstein’s observations from his trip to the Darien Gap should be part of the focus of our conversations right now. Weinstein’s theory that the scores of military-age Chinese National males being allowed into our country who never received mRNA vaccines (no Chinese Nationals did—just regular vaccines) should cause us to connect some serious dots. Here’s the interview: https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1753190238502170900

Really tiresome to see even journalists on "our side" so slow to catch up with things Bannon's War Room viewers knew years ago.

I say let's skip the election and just install the War Room guests as our next government. When you run out of those, just appoint the members of the audience.

“It was all wordplay, right from day one.”

Absolutely right, Jeff—and that goes for the entire COVID psyop. This is why I have been focusing on propaganda and the use of language to manipulate minds and curate reality since my first essay (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-primer-for-the-propagandized).

As Jacques Ellul writes in “Propaganda,” which I urge everyone to read:

“Propaganda seeks to induce action, adherence, and participation—with as little thought as possible. According to propaganda, it is useless, even harmful for man to think; thinking prevents him from acting with the required righteousness and simplicity. Action must come directly from the depths of the unconscious; it must release tension, become a reflex.… An example that shows the radical devaluation of thought is the transformation of words in propaganda; there, language, the instrument of the mind, becomes ‘pure sound,’ a symbol directly evoking feelings and reflexes. This is one of the most serious dissociations that propaganda causes. There is another: the dissociation between the verbal universe, in which propaganda makes us live, and reality. Propaganda sometimes deliberately separates from man’s real world the verbal world that it creates; it then tends to destroy man’s conscience.”

I was mocked for doing my own research by people who know I research for a living, as every writer does. Yet, with no ‘degree’ in medicine, I was told I didn’t know what I was talking about. Sadly, I did.

and I trusted :the science" I had spent four years in university persuing a pre-med biology major. Never mind the "current noose" cycle to which we were subjected... HOW does a virus replicate? What are the means to stop them from doing so? What means to we have available daily to improve our ability to fend them off? How long can a viral particle exist in normal outdoor air when its 55 F outside and sunny? What prevents a virus, once having entered a cell, from replicating? At what temperature will a viral particle disintegrate? What is the temperature needed to cook any meat, such as chicken, pork, beef, bat, to tender state for making soup? What is tbe ean diamater of a corona virus? What is the size of the smallest openings in the material used to make the N95 mask? Compare. Will a section of chain link fence prevent mosquitos entering an area?

A handful of basic "science" questions that rattled about within my cranium as I pondered the "noose reports" daily impinging upon our consciousness. Once I had determined the answers to some if these issues I determined to scrupulously ignore everything assaulting us daily in the "noose" cycle. And did what I thus determined was the "safe and effective" path forward. Thus, as far as I was concerned, there WAS no pandemonic so I ignored it all. Never got sick.

I earned an advanced degree from a top university, which is to say, this isn't sour grapes: Yes, begad, some of the ones with the PhDs and other so-called experts, when they went out to speak about covid & related, they were and they remain moral and intellectual morons. (And the MSM reporters, bah.)

I would add, from what I saw in my personal and professional circles, it wasn't just, as you say, "a childish dependence on the ‘intelligence’ of those with degrees," it was, in addition, good old-fashioned sloth, and a childish dependence on unquestioningly conforming to what appeared to be de rigueur in the high-glamor status-in-group.

As for what appeared to be the high-glamor status-in-group, that was something at once already in place in the culture and manipulated by the psy-op.

In all, I agree. No matter what one's educational background and research skills may or may not be, the most essential for decision making are grounded common sense and self-respect (and that includes respect for one's own gut sense).

Good for you. I don't know a single soul who regrets not taking the covid jabs.

For those who promoted Jab Crow, I don't have bucketsful of sympathy. But I hope that you're wrong, I mean, while I do recognize that it's an epic disaster of death and injury from the jabs, I sincerely hope that many of the people who took the shots will be able to remain healthy and live out their normal life span. It does seem that some are OK. The batches were very uneven, so some people who took the jabs may actually have been jabbed with nuthin' much. And it also seems that some who are injured can be helped by the FLCCC protocols and other similar treatments.

I have an advanced degree. It isn't in the holding of the degree that is the problem. The #1 thing I learned from getting my advanced degree is that I don't know anything. There is so much to know, no one could ever know enough! The #2 thing I learned is to do your own research. I wonder if the problem exposed by Covid is more an issue of those who end up as beaurocrats with advanced degrees should be greatly feared! Unfortunately, that doesn't account for what happened with our medical community. The only thing I can think there is that they were too terrified of being fired so they got in line? I never trusted many beaurocrats before covid and I surely do not trust them now!

It went down in Spring but also went down the next Spring by around the same amount, it was quite possibly a natural ebb that didn’t continue with each age-group rollout, there was never a time everyone took it at once. (Pre- massive “breakthrough infections,” looking at a longer period than just Spring, the shots seemed to provide a few months of protection except they lowered protection in the first few weeks after the first shot. Many got Covid, and, if very frail, died during this time.) After the breakthrough infections rose, they began to count the PCR test cutoff for positive differently for the unvaccinated, making them 20x more likely to test positive than the unvaccinated. Total shell game.

I think it probably was pretty good at staving off the early strains for a time, but at what cost? It may have bought a few months protection against something you'd have recovered from fine anyway while causing a myriad of other health problems, up to and including death.

It probably saved some lives, but cost more lives.

I was too. I'm glad I've never much given AF what people think about me. I was sort of surprised during the pandemic at the revelation that most surgeons/doctors are liberal/progressive. They're supposed to be 'smart', right? I'm an engineer, but I've also been somewhat of a rebel most of my life. I just don't trust authority. If you're observant and have worked in a lot of places, you know most people do what they're told, even in the medical profession. Combine that with Ch 10 of "The Road to Serfdom", and a person with critical thinking skills would ignore most general health/medical advice. Remember that time, the bulk of what we were told to eat by our FDA food pyramid was cereal/bread/grains?

Unfortunately, we're not going to turn into critical thinkers and start fixing our society. People are aware there is a wide variety of 'society' in the US and will continue to migrate to the parts of of their state or to other states which match their version of what constitutes an ideal society.

Yes, this is right. Just as you say. And thanks for taking the time.

And if I am biased, and I am, I just like nurses better. And I like female nurses better than males nurses because the ladies bring something different with themselves than men. And we feel that difference no matter how good the guys are. Or to flip the pancake, I also relate better to guys running jackhammers than if it was a women simply because I am a guy. And I also know that guys act different with guys, and women act differently with women ... and mix them all up in a room and the conversational tone changes immediately.

But also, and it may be said, that I much prefer smart nurses over dumb doctors like our doctor who recommended the fake vaccines because he, as he told us, 'did the research'. What he meant was he read the fake pharma and journal propaganda ... and knew nothing. Had he know something, he would have understood that Jab mRNA was really gene editing technology and therefore could not possibly be a vaccine, and therefore questionably ... moreover likely ... NOT safe and effective.

Okay! I am all over the charts here. It's because I am so, so excited about the Tucker Interview. It's got me orbiting earth. It is going to be a Moon Shot Interview. It's going to break the Internet in all time views ... Ripley and belief it or not!

Interesting tidbit. My boss's young adult children have refused or stop taking prescription medications due to the side effects. She asked them why they stopped and they said they did their own research and found the nasty side effects. I told her she has smart kids. Makes you wonder if they read about the clot shot side effects. Which their mom had them get. 🤔

That was intense... We shouldn't think? Who should then? Those who deem themselves as gods and better than others? Those are the fools. Yes they can control populations but not destiny.

Propaganda are spells.

‭‭‭‭‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭28:2‭-‬9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

[2] ....‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘In the pride of your heart you say, “I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.” But you are a mere mortal and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god. [3] Are you wiser than Daniel? Is no secret hidden from you? [4] By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries. [5] By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud. [6] “ ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘Because you think you are wise, as wise as a god, [7] I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations; they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom and pierce your shining splendor. [8] They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas. [9] Will you then say, “I am a god,” in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a mortal, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you.

There are phenomena that register in our brains sometimes without our awareness.

Filth. Disease. Disgust. These all provoke Fear. There are other reactions that do the same. These ideas take root in one's brain, unbidden and unrecognized. Predictive programming.

This technique has been used before, many times, by conquerors and tyrants. A people group is accused of "spreading disease" and is genocided.

The use of these techniques to bend the will of the victim is called "lesser magick" by the occultists who use this practice.

Literal witchcraft.

Knowing that it's propaganda has been encouraging but not useful so far. If the best a grand jury report can do is explain that we should all go home and be quiet about the scamdemic and the vax because the words were 'redefined', so that absolves anyone from responsibility, then I suppose we should be talking about the next round of mandates for climate change, or loneliness, or whatever. Or, stop being gaslighted by implications like 'the tide is turning' or especially 'we are winning'.

Then I said to you, ‘Do not be in dread, nor fear them.

— Deuteronomy 1:29-33

I will give you insight and teach you in the way which you should go;

I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,

Whose harness are bit and bridle to control them,

Otherwise they will not come near you.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked,

But he who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him.

Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones;

And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

For our nation, the lesson of Deuteronomy 1 is incomplete without this ending:

...32 Yet, for all that, you did not believe the Lord your God, 33 who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.

34 “And the Lord heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and took an oath, saying, 35 ‘Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land of which I swore to give to your fathers, 36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and his children I am giving the land on which he walked, because he wholly followed the Lord.’ 37 The Lord was also angry with me (Moses) for your sakes, saying, ‘Even you shall not go in there. 38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 ‘Moreover your little ones and your children, who you say will be victims, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it. 40 But as for you, turn and take your journey into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea.’

41 “Then you answered and said to me, ‘We have sinned against the Lord; we will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.’ And when everyone of you had girded on his weapons of war, you were ready to go up into the mountain.

42 “And the Lord said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up nor fight, for I am not among you; lest you be defeated before your enemies.” ’ 43 So I spoke to you; yet you would not listen, but rebelled against the command of the Lord, and presumptuously went up into the mountain. 44 And the Amorites who dwelt in that mountain came out against you and chased you as bees do, and drove you back from Seir to Hormah. 45 Then you returned and wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not listen to your voice nor give ear to you...

Even in the midst of judgement, God promises to bless our children "who today have no knowledge of good and evil..."

The whole thing was a psy-op as we all remember how the media flipped on a dime from Covid to Ukraine.

He has an agenda and uses guilt to manipulate others to go along with it. That says far more about his lack of ethics and willingness to use other people to his advantage than what it says about those who disagree with him.

I don't listen to Ben Shapiro - he talks too fast and I can't keep up. However, there is a tradition in the US that we support Israel, and it's based upon the supposed "Judeo Christian" ethic, which I'm beginning to question. In theory, Christians and "practicing" Jews may share a common ethic, with strong emphasis on "practicing". Since the October 7 attacks, countless Christians across America are following the prescribed "We stand with Israel" motto of many Fundamental churches. I believe they are subject to a misunderstanding of scripture when it speaks of the Jewish people as "God's chosen people". Yes! Yes, they were chosen for a distinct purpose - and that purpose was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Fulfilled - completed - ended, as in New Covenant. Reading 1 Peter tells me that Christians are now God's chosen people.

It's complicated, but I believe that's why so many non-Jews fall for it.

Jeff C's avatar

You are exactly right IMO. I fell for it for along time and never thought about it critically. Having two draft age teenage boys and a dementia patient as president made me take a much deeper look at things I long took for granted in this regard.

"Judeo-Christian" ethic is a made-up term that seems to have originated around the Eisenhower years, the implication being that we are one big nebulous religious blob. In truth, the two could not be further apart. After the fall of Jerusalem Christianity went it's way and Judaism spiraled into the absurdly-meticulous legalism of the Pharisees (which Christ Himself condemned in the Gospels over and over). That resulted in the Talmud which is completely at odds with Christianity. What ever commonality we may share from the Torah, is completely obliterated by the (quite literally shocking) contents of the Talmud.

So now we have Christian churches flying flags of the modern Israeli state (outright idolatry), and cherry-picked passages from the Bible (e.g. "bless Israel" and "seed of Abraham") being preached in Christian churches meaning that we must support Netanyahu and his ilk. Add to that a helpful dose of Jewish-fed guilt aimed at Christians over the Holocaust (which 99.99999% of us had nothing to do with) and it's really not to much of a surprise people fall for this actually. They have never really questioned what they've been force fed.

So the real question is how much of this happened by chance vs. being orchestrated by bad-faith actors whose main allegiance is to Israel. After having long resisted it, I've gradually come to the conclusion it's the latter.

Please provide a scripture text to support your statement that God isn’t finished with the Jewish nation.

Here is one to support my view that inheritance of the promise now falls to believers in Christ…

”They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen. But it is not as though the word of God has failed.

“For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring”, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.“

At the end of Luke 20, Jesus, talking to His disciples, said, "Beware of the scribes... These will receive greater condemnation." Then speaking of the Temple in 21:6, He said, "These things which you see—the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down." 7 So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?”

In verse 20 - 22, He says, “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled..."

After His resurrection, Jesus reiterates in Luke 24:44, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” He then continues 46, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, BEGINNING at Jerusalem..."

Because what actually happened was no where near the level of brutality and inhumanity Israel was planning to inflict on innocent, unarmed civilians?

Expand full comment
WP William's avatar

so the working conspiracy theory is: that it was an Israeli operation to fake-brutalize civilians or actors and blame Hamas so that Gaza could be razed and non-Israelis truly brutalized and driven out. The dead Jews weren't real, the hostages or actors were convinced their captors and rapists were truly Hamas, Hamas and their foreign supporters were and still are convinced that they actually were the ones planning the attack. At that point with Hamas so very heavily controlled and infiltrated by Israel what not take out the top 30+% of them and heroically free the fake hostages and then finish the job?

Or was it that Israeli Deep State incited, monitored, contained yet enabled the very real and very brutal Hamas plot as an opportunity to carry out their Gaza Operation, embellishing the burned beheaded babies to amp up retaliatory emotion and will? A Joint Israeli-Hamas operation of the highest and most evil order where both sides gladly sacrifice their own innocent to further the Globalist Occult Plans?

Israel's 9-11; infiltrate, assist, initiate, contain, control, willing patsies take the blame and get snuffed afterward; a windfall for Deepstate with furtherance of agenda and setting table for the next several operations that are in the planning stages; also some nice memorials for a few generations to commemorate the whitewashed official narrative after the "investigation" of how and why, with a useful dose of increased patriotism and national loyalty with grief assuaged by funding fighting evil.

I can't think of a corporate western news source I would trust, especially not on foreign policy or war. But, it's accurate to call them legacy media - They are dying. Several articles came out in the past week or two detailing how much money they are losing, LA Times job losses, etc. There are individuals with integrity though, who wouldn't intentionally lie to us. They still believe in the honor of their profession, journalism, the job of keeping the public informed on important topics. So, there is an ongoing transformation of 'western media' into something that will be good. Regarding the Gaza War, the sociopathic, psychotic Likud party members are open and honest about what their goals are. They state it openly on camera with no shame. They want the Palestinians in Gaza gone, all 2 million of them, and they will bribe or blackmail any government official in the US to get what they want. They might say they just want to get rid of Hamas, but that isn't the whole truth. Their bigger problem is the lack of allies willing to go to war (again) in the middle east to guarantee their security.

You're on fire this morning, Mr. Childers. Unlike Jane Fonda who manned an NVA anti-aircraft battery for a photo op just down the road from the 'Hanoi Hilton' where John McCain among others were imprisoned, I believe Tucker Carlson when he says that he is going in as a journalist (remember when we had them?) looking for truth. That said, watching the D.C. 'Establishment' losing its collective mind over the interview of Putin, I genuinely fear for Tucker's safety.

I swear that there is something in the air or water in CA. These people are bonkers. Nuts! Only a lonely person can define their own loneliness. I am "lonely" and I love it. It absolutely is relative. I've chosen to live my life alone, never have children, not date, and am completely content with my life in that regard. I have a lot going wrong in my life and am depressed sometimes as a result of all the b.s. (like the rest of us) but being alone ain't one of my problems. I'm just content alone, and as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)

To them, earthquakes, big waves, receding beaches, water shortages, droughts, floods, Santa Ana winds, fires, hot and cold weather, and even haze are dangerous, caused by "Climate Change," and things that must be "managed and fixed" through coercion and control, even though they will continue as they always have. In reality, it is California in all of its beauty! A fifth generation Californian, I left in the mid 1980s.

San Mateo is a very very wealthy county. If they are lonely, it is because they have the means financially to a) isolate themselves from the day-to-day interactions us working schmoes experience and b) have the time to navel gaze about it and c) "buy" solutions that don't actually fix their problem.

Anyone else notice the uptick in "mental health" concerns?

Sure, they are legit (it would suck to be a kid today without strong parents), were rampant before the pandemic and worse after, BUT I view every news item about them now as the "problem" in "problem, reaction, solution."

San Mateo county is home to the Facebook HQ, in Menlo Park, so that explains a lot, but Jeff is giving them too much credit for creativity, which they have none of, as Britain declared loneliness to be a public health emergency and appointed a Minister of Loneliness, so they are just copying Britain. https://time.com/5248016/tracey-crouch-uk-loneliness-minister/

Still, I think actually conceiving of the idea that relationships matter is a huge step for the narcissists, who live to plug in to the cognitive infrastructure so the "experts" can do their thinking for them while they take selfies and try to be famous on social media and have zero interiority, so I'd say Portland still gets the Darwin Award.

I have not tried to make new friends as I go nowhere.

My family did similar: I lost most relationships during the scamdemic. I've lost others to death. I only have one really close relationship with a family member and I think they are getting ready to die.

I can’t imagine living this way and being happy, personally. I think, though, that overall there is too much of a tendency to want to make everyone be the same. It’s possible for different people to be content with different choices in life. We are not all the same and it would be nice if everyone could accept that and let people live their lives. Just because I wouldn’t choose it doesn’t mean it’s wrong for someone else! You’re not harming anyone and it shouldn’t matter to anyone else how you choose to live!
