I canvas a lot, all over the place. Covid set me straight. Can't tell you, don't know why, but certain people weren't believable even tho their words were right. Speaking of words, someone told me I was throwing the baby out with the bath water, true, to be sure. I was and I do. It only takes a few buzz words for me to exit an otherwise astute article. Once those words come out, you've lost me, I'm done, and I'm sticking to it.

Also, and I know how this sounds, it's their countenance. I observe. Manner, dress, twitches, quirks, language, facial expressions, micro expressions tell me if you're a person of intelligence and truth or a flat-out bullshitter. Again, you have validated that expertise.

Everyone you mentioned from the get-go of covid, I ignored. Political leaders? On the same page, except for Gandhi, damn, didn't know that. Malcolm X? MLK couldn't shine his shoes. Hero's like Churchill (thanks to D Irving) FDR, Truman, Eisenhower , pigs all. It's the old timers who said it best. Solzhenitzen, Dostoyevsky, Wm Carr, Eustace Mullins, Ezra Pound, St Thomas Aquinas and a lot more said it all, named names, spelled it out as it all comes to fruition today. Technology has changed, unfortunately, but the message remains the same. A little bit of reading, OK, maybe a lot, goes a long way. Yesterdays handheld device. Books

"Yesterdays handheld device. Books."

Yeah! They don't need batteries, and they even run on solar - you just hold them up to the light.
