It is certainly used as a social control mechanism. But that may be more subtle and multi-layered than we suppose. That the bugmen have been effectively corralled into giving up their freedoms over fear of infection is clear. But what of we who have seen through that deception?
We're scared of the manipulators who enacted this plan. What is their purpose? What will they do next? This fear, too, can serve as a control mechanism - inducing us to keep our heads down, or to act rashly, or to jump at shadows in the night.
The point is not that we should not know fear, only that we should not be ruled by it.
It could be simply people with a lot of money have limited investment options. Anything they buy immediately increases in price so much so what they bought needs to be financially manipulated to be sold for higher money for the desired profit. Bill Gates, Larry Fink, and all the investors of Vanguard have too much money with limited investment opportunities pushed this fascist injection event to produce an investment option. It worked financially. How much better could they have had it using government resources to promote the virus (fear) and also to promote the injection falsely as a cure. And to put the fascist cherry on the cake the government paid them directly by-passing normal market functions. These fascists must have enjoyed the best cigars and whiskey over the success.
But!
Manipulating the market blindfolded now they will have to deal with the carnage. The problem for them is if they succeed in imposing a totalitarian society, to hide their crimes, suffering and murder from thus injection event, they will have wrecked the market for their investments. people who own nothing is not a market to invest in. These Bugman pushed too hard and now are trapped in a Catch 22 is my view.
Oh, in passing they will say there are too many people on the planet anyway...
Now only revenge remains.
The thing about the future there are so many twists and turns that no one can know what will happen, not even the fascists with 1000 fortune tellers. My bet is the mere force of so many people pushing back will force them off the planet. They can go to Mars and grow potatoes.
See, my perception (rocketing fascists to Mars) can get a little weirder too.
Good point! On my own SS page, I just hooked up a thought that puzzled me for years to this topic/post... "Resist Not Evil," and my eventual conclusion of what that might mean, to be "Work Around It." When I used to be a member of the Christian religion, I enjoyed the conversations we sometimes had... one had to do with Fear. I believe that the term "Sin" is defined in Greek, maybe? as "missing the mark." Why would we miss the mark? It seems to me that all "sin" comes down to Fear.
I am so energized by these kinds of conversations, thank you for being involved, too, I like your posts as well, and am wondering why I haven't yet subscribed... I will do. ^_^
I have a similar take on the "resist not evil" idea. Sometimes the only way to win is to not engage. Walk away. Have nothing to do with such people. In business terms, you write them off. Write them out of the book of your life. You don't forgive them. You just forget them, and forget about what they cost you. Some people make the mistake of trying to get "justice" from the predators and parasites and users and losers who have done them wrong. In my experience all that happens when you try to get justice is, it costs you more. And you never get justice. Walk away. Write it off. Do not engage. "We are all one" and "universal salvation" my *ss. Jesus taught sheep and goats and divergent afterlife outcomes. "Christianity" teaches Divine Justice...but not in this life. Meanwhile, in this life, avoid the people who try to use and abuse you rather than try to "correct" them. They are not salvageable. ...unless they see the light and decide for themselves to mend their ways.
Yeah, I'm on a par with your take. I find the real challenge in trying to stop rolling the situation (whatever it is) over and over, trying to "answer"... There's a desire for justice, most definitely, and that seems to be what I need to "forgive," and as you say, in financial terms, forgiveness does not imply justice, nor does it imply future dealings... "Shake your sandals" comes to mind. I was raised as a Christian, and so often the sayings and ideas come to me from that format, but I do appreciate putting the concepts into different terms. It's helpful to broaden the perspective. Anyway, thanks for your take, it's pretty right ON, in my opinion!
Personally? I remind myself to not be overly frightened of them, or at least not to let concern cloud my thinking. However, I think a large fraction of the dissident sphere is indeed animated by fear of the illegitimate authorities and power centers.
Zackly. And I think they also fear losing their $$... This is why I think the best punishment would be to take it ALL, distribute it, and put those Nasties to work growing organic food for the poor, from within the confines of a prison setting...
As Heather and Bret recommend, more time around campfires. One day, it would be a beautiful thing to campfire with some of the great minds that write, read, and comment on TGC.
Unfortunately most are unaware that fear could be either your best friend or your worst enemy. The physical reality of duality is not comprimised of opposites. Opposites do not exist, only the appearance of opposites exist. If opposites really existed all energy, all life would be in an eternal war with itself and would eventually self-destruct and you can take that possibility of the table. People can self-destruct buy not energy. It can only be transformed. The appearnce of oppposites exist so that we can expierence those appearances and at some point arrive at the place where we realize they do not exist at all within energy . The point I am making is that all the fear TPTB throw is only effective if one accepts it as being real. I know that is earsier said than done but that does not change that fact. Couage is simply refusing to accept fear as your enemy and once that is able to be done you will begin to see it as a friend that in the same way that your self-love guides you through life so does fear.
Good points. Do you think it's possible to accept a threat as being real without feeling FEAR, per se? What if courage is the act of denying any power to Fear, and thinking more about the action needed in the moment? I know when people are asked how it was they could run into the burning building to save the person trapped, or jumped into the swirling current to rescue a swimmer in trouble, etc, they don't talk about fear. They nearly always talk about something like "doing what needed to be done." Just throwing out some more chewies...
"Paul" was a fake name assumed for the purpose of crypsis, by the Pharisee Saul of Tarsus, who invented the characters of Jesus and the Apostles, even though he admitted he never met any of them, but only became aware of Jesus through "revelation" around 40 AD, that is, 7 or 10 years after the date he chose for the fictional "crucifiction" that he made up.
David Skrbina, also working from Nietzsche's thesis, penned a recent, very concise book that incorporated archeological evidence unearthed that Nietzsche did not have the benefit of, but which confirms his take, called "The Jesus Hoax": https://www.davidskrbina.com/jesus-hoax
Richard Carrier has also developed a generally consistent thesis, mostly directly from scriptural analysis. I haven't read his books, but he has done interviews like this: https://www.bitchute.com/video/ehuIUuzfQSWc/
We can find contrarian evidence for anything we might promote - but the real question is what is the truth?
Someone might claim a discovery - that is just the starting point for further research.....which never ends if one follows logic.
Logic simply is the systematic study and practice of discerning and then telling the truth. In other words....REALITY!
If interested, you can start here - www.crushlimbraw.com - the introduction. Then follow through DaLimbraw Library as linked for at least 6 months just to get the general idea. This eliminates the wheat from the chaff...if you get my drift.
"The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. "Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness."
There does seem to be a lot of self-assured certains. This can be noticed by reading comments on Substack, blogs and You Tube videos. I think that was a great point. However, I think most people can soon see who the self-assured certains are as some of them seem to be the assholes and agitators with their comments and are not willing to change or see a different perspective. even when shown evidence to the contrary. I sometimes feel true discourse is no longer used in our society but rather just insults and degradation which are probably 95% from the self-assured certains. Why, I don't know. That would be a whole new dissertation. Most that comment to your articles seem to want and to have true discourse. As someone commented already, it would be great to sit aound the campfire with some of the other people here for a good discussion! Will be linking as usual@ https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Awesome reply. So much to bounce off. I'll get to it shortly. Really appreciate your thinking process Good Citizen, and stimulating some right-hemisphere coarse semantic coding to maintain semantic activation of solution-orientated prefrontal activity so we can be creative problem solvers ;-)
Obama said something to the effect of “We don’t have time for a meeting of The Flat Earth Society…”
Having no idea what he was talking about, I researched; fwiw- The Flat Earth Society (on YouTube) is controlled straw dog foolishness.
The International Flat Earth Research Society shows history and science and the scientism that is promulgated. Its relevance? The Mu$k acquisition and mass hypnosis, or whatever you want to call it today.
This link just came out yesterday; it’s another group of researchers who link not only the human but the divine. It’s a bit long, but worth the price:
This is fascinating. Never sure where to stand anymore without knowing if it's a trap door beneath. I suppose nobody ever wants to admit they could be living the Truman show.
The Truman Show was at least a sterile facsimile of an idealised version of reality. We are now being bombarded with a daily onslaught of unreality and untruths. This continuous torture is making the know, unknown, and the certain, uncertain. This transmutation of reality itself, is specifically meant for those few on the mountain top, who hold steadfast to logic. They blast distortions from their speakers 24/7 from the valley floor…in hopes they break the last of the resistance up in our holdout.
Yes, agreed, we’ve always been sold dreams, distortions and distraction. The goal was for us to willingly give away our money and/or our freedoms. It came in many flavours(cigarettes, terrorism, diet soda, communism, sexy cars, WMD’s, designer jeans…), and fed on our desires and fears. However, I would argue that this has now been taken to a much deeper, pervasive and intense level. This unreality is all around us, all the time. The natural skepticism and discernment of those of us on the mountain top, is being pushed to the realm of paranoia and constant uncertainty. We are being targeted. They are still selling their usual dreams and fears to the masses, but for us, they only aim to break us.
The zombiesheep masses make the leaderz and starz dangerous by treating them like gods, but when they actually believe they ARE gods, they become monsters.
I never heard anything about the moon visit until Covid came along... Can you show me to a link where I can read a bit more? I'm questioning EVERYTHING now.
There’s a plethora of ‘proof videos’ from 5 to 120 minutes. I am new to the concept _2 years _ every day I look at the world under my feet and above me. Go ahead and believe what you will.
It’s a whole industry with trillions of dollars and complex scientific equations.
The van Allen belt. That’s why we didn’t go to the moon. That’s why the moon rocks turn out to be petrified wood. That’s why the sky is “littered” with satellites. Did you happen to see the’60 Minutes’ interview this year showing the multi-billion new satellite telescope? Can’t wait to to see those images.

Oh, I freakin' LOVE this post, TGC! I raved about it on my page and shared it! MOST EXCELLENT. There are three men, specifically in my thoughts today, that I would LOVE to read this to... I don't know if Bugmen can hear very well, when the voice is of OTHER, but it fires up my hope that maybe, just maybe, something might "stick." Anyway, so well done, thanks. xo
Bugmen hear and see nothing that might lead to inconvenient discomfort. This most certainly includes the truth and reality itself. Absolutely nothing sticks to them. They are masters of S.T.O.P.
The past two years have been a study in S.T.O.P. and you have to wonder... What will finally slam them into a non-teflon viewpoint? Will it be the lack of food? Or will it be the attack on their financial autonomy? Or will they continue to believe in the Gods of Covid forever? It's all so fricken bizarre.
Their layers of Teflon are impenetrable. When they are finally affected by empty pockets and stomachs, they will turn their blame towards whatever enemy they are told to blame(Hint, it will be us. Being an independent critical thinker under totalitarianism is a death sentence.)
You're almost certainly right... We've seen it all before, after all. Well, what can we do? I'm sure as hell not gonna change my tune. Some things are worth dying for, and dying doesn't frighten me. As we were saying somewhere else... Resist Not Evil, just work around it. I can't live my life in FEAR, I won't do that.
Thank you for your writings. Yours are the most thought provoking of the Substack writers I read. Thank you for the introduction to Winston and Lain McGilchrist.
Fear, as the great book says, is the mind killer.
It is certainly used as a social control mechanism. But that may be more subtle and multi-layered than we suppose. That the bugmen have been effectively corralled into giving up their freedoms over fear of infection is clear. But what of we who have seen through that deception?

Not money. Power. For those at the top, the latter is the thing they value above all else.
As Heather and Bret recommend, more time around campfires. One day, it would be a beautiful thing to campfire with some of the great minds that write, read, and comment on TGC.

Apostle Paul said we all see through the glass......darkly!
And sometimes more clearly, but often too late...
"Paul" was not an apostle.
"Paul" was a fake name assumed for the purpose of crypsis, by the Pharisee Saul of Tarsus, who invented the characters of Jesus and the Apostles, even though he admitted he never met any of them, but only became aware of Jesus through "revelation" around 40 AD, that is, 7 or 10 years after the date he chose for the fictional "crucifiction" that he made up.
Cryptic - thanks for making me aware of a new word I never knew.
Your assertion - I assume - was based on your personal experience of meeting that scoundrel who made DaWhole thing up, eh?
Got any more primary sources?
I would recommend starting with Thomas Dalton's excellent two-part "Nietzsche and the Origins of Christianity":
