I could just paste your two perfect paragraphs ("We are dealing with people whose minds are so programmed, so conditioned, including millions of those 'in the middle,' that no amount of evidence or convincing through empirical means will move them toward the light. These are people who will prefer the comfort of their echo chambers and the self-satisfaction of assimilation to a tribe than to ever acknowledge deadly truths. No amount of deprogramming by Substack writers or documentary filmmakers is going to save them. ") as a comment or reply in pretty much every conversation and Substack piece from now to eternity. Exactly right. Exactly, exactly right.

The good thing about the documentary is that it publicizes a thing that the PTB want to disappear. Most people can't accept the truth, so the only real victory is being a bit of a thorn in the PTB's side and making them spend time "debunking" or whatever. Every "debunking" article keeps the blood clot and sudden death issue in the headlines, and pushes some other PTB propaganda further down the page. If people haven't already had their come-to-Jesus moment based on having friends and acquaintances have reactivated zoster virus, sudden onset acute pancreatitis, sudden death "in their sleep" at age 40, etc., etc., they probably never will. So arguing about which individual on the not-evil "side" is the true prophet is really stupid, because it's not as if Breggin's existence is stopping people from being converted to the truth by Malone. Obviously. And the way people get into the mess of being duped is by giving anybody 100% credibility for all future utterances. So I can take or leave or find merit in individual things Breggin or Malone or Kory say without worshiping at the guy's throne the way the other people worship Fauci.

The "victory" of which we can (it seems) only dream is disempowering the PTB so that they can't force anything on anybody. People will always be idiots; corporations will always have more money for propaganda than smart individuals. But it would be nice if corporations didn't completely own legislatures and executive branches and at least some of the judiciary. That would be nice.

Some of the best insights I've read so far regarding the cannibalism of the opposition! Some cliche about trees and forests comes to mind. While millions of people are dying or disabled we'll nitpick about the precise manner of that calamity? Eye on the ball. Well said.
