Her blindspot, and it happens with many when they first snap out of their slumber, is they have zero reference to what was really happening prior to the waking up so they think all of it just began when they started to take notice.

We are all on our own journey, though few "experts" unworthy of the label are propped up as suddenly as she has been. Her lack of reference to the past (beyond 2020) became very clear in attempting to read her book.
I did not say that to criticize (or at least negatively criticize) anyone. As you said, we all have our own path and journey. Its just an something I first noticed in a friend when he finally snapped out of it, then started noticing similar behaviors in various public figures the past few yrs. The way I look at it, better late than never
GC's piece is brilliant and I definitely see the point. However, my view of Naomi Wolf shifted when I first read her book, The End of America, that she published in 2007. She saw the emerging surveillance state that Bush and the neocons erected in the wake of 9/11.
It wasn't much of a stretch for Naomi Wolf to recognize covid as simply the next stage in an evolving totalitarianism. For a legacy arch-feminist, I credit Wolf for having the bravery to make a public stand, even if now she is no longer allowed to circulate in the bi-coastal liberal cocktail circuit.
You're right when you make the point about Wolf 'snap[ing] out her slumber'. She admitted to voting for Biden, obviously missing the early warning signs in 2015 and ignoring what many long knew about Biden and the DNC, regardless of whether they were MAGA Trumpers. Although the damage was done, Wolf apologized for what she admitted to be the wrong choice. How many only recently came to the conclusion that they were snowed by the likes of Barack, Hillary, Mitt, McCain and the other denizens of the Uniparty elite?
I will add that I agree with GC that the 'zombification' of humanity probably does go beyond the mere fact of being a willing participant in the covid shot program. One's willingness to get the shots is more a symptom or the effect of a larger form of indoctrination/social engineering that's been going on for decades.
That was an important shift for her which I omitted (The End of America) though it seemed more reaction against the Bush/Cheney regime and once Obama was elected, as many liberals assumed, all was well with their world. If by his second term said liberals could not see that Obama was probably worse than Bush in many respects (4 countries instead of 2, droning, HC mandates, bank bailouts, surveillance ramped up) then it wasn't until the "dangerous" Trump that they were magically activated again against their better judgement, and finally 2020 to realize, there is one party working on behalf of a global machine against all citizens.
" ... once Obama was elected, as many liberals assumed, all was well with their world."
This is probably true of Naomi Wolf. I think even she will admit that it took Covid to completely rock her belief system to its core and to understand - or at least to suspect - how the world is actually run. My faith aside, I know that I no longer believe most of the things I may have believed three years ago.
Hallelujah amen brother. Their is no true introspective analysis with most of them, oh they say I was fooled like you and such, but they truly believe it all started in 2020, or when they figured it out. It is the ultimate form of self admiration, or worseтАж
I gotta be honest, I am sick and f**king tired of people implying everyone was fooled. No, we weren't. I saw the first report of a 'sars like virus' on RT.com in December of 2019 I think it was. I called bullshit then. And when it took over all media, including so-called alt and independent outlets, who were all just running with the narrative and nobody asking for proof of this alleged virus, I tuned out from everything and read a lot of books and went about my life as if I had nothing to worry about other than society turning into a bunch of zombies. Whatever it was or wasn't I just did not care.
Joel, you are right, I believe the first people to recognize the scam, were the ones who went out immediately and researched the previous reported epidemics of the 2000s. In 2020 there was almost zero independent media until quite late in the year. Then the vaccine was announced and lots of folks became instant experts, at first one had to weed through these so-called experts to figure out who was full of shit. It was tough to say the least. I researched the entire year; I wasnтАЩt working at the time, so it was night and day. I should have done proper research and started a podcast or some bullshit, but I am not into that sort of thing. I was trying to protect my wife from the hospital she worked at.
My initial research started with the following epidemics, subsequently researching the vaccine trials I became alarmed, everything they injected these vaccines into diedтАж. I believe it was truly 100% of animals died. The RNA vaccine has always been a failureтАж
Actually that was a huge reason I for my immediate skepticism. Its an area I long had been researching prior to covid. My blind spot was my faith in humanity assuming more people would catch on before it was too late.
My faith in humanity was absolutely murdered by these 3 years, we lived in a lock down state, fortunately we live 1 mile from a free-state.
To watch the different people on each side of an invisible border was at first hopeful, the right side living free and uncaring, "it is all a lie, it doesn't affect me and I am going to live life normally". And the left side losing their ever loving minds day by day, even though the truth was right across the invisible border.
Most people didn't get to witness daily life on a border of a free/lockdown state. It was humanity 101 for me. So people that judge my lack of empathy and downright disgust with human beings can fuck right off, I was front row in 101-201-301 humanity on display everyday.
I had long thought it was a character flaw of mine that I wasn't a fan of people (in the most general of terms), but the past three years made me re-think that. Gues it was them, not me. As for lockdowns, we had all the standard nonsense here, but I decided to look at the actual policies one day early and to my surprise, they were written in a way to indicate they were all completely voluntary. There was no enforcement mechanism (cops weren't even wearing masks during traffic stops), and no type of punishments for violations. I would have not cared either way, cuz F em, but looking around me, it seems not many others took the time to read em, or had succumbed to the fear porn.
People in general donтАЩt read policy, they accept it, the lawyers and doctors and politicians knew these policies were not long in the tooth, but they failed us as they always have, because the were scared of losing their licenses and toys, or worse. Our skepticism and all of our non-compliance I assume comes down to having lived a life of trials, and recognizing our successes for what they were, simple common sense and our ability to know difference. People are not bad as a general rule of thumb, they are stupid and yearn for governance and to be told how to think. Useless mouth breathers comes to mind.
Honestly I generally dont either, cuz fuck em. But in this case I was curious what type of trouble I may have gotten in for going about life, and was surprised when I read it.
I think you miss my point a little Joel, who gives a rats ass how the mandates and mask rules etc were written was my attitude, they cannot force me to mask, vax or anything. If I had a job that tried I would quit, my wife was willing to quit and move if her declination/exemption was denied. No one was forced to do anything, they went along like good little collective sheepтАж. You had the brains to read the bullshit policies, I give you a ton of credit for doing that btw. I donтАЩt know where you lived during the lock-me-down-please-save-me-from-the-cold period, it could have been bad where you livedтАж 90% of the country lived somewhere that it was easy to avoid these rules other than the workplaceтАж.
I think you miss my point. It was presented as if it were law. With that in mind I wanted to read the actual law, which it wasnt, and even it was, I just wanted to know what the ramifications would have been
Joel, same here and I was determined not to get jabbed which was pretty difficult living in Western Australia, cutoff from the other states and territory. We were absolutely hammered here. My whole family succumbed to the jab, but I stood my ground after spending day in and day out researching and passing off informative documents to all and sundry to no avail .ЁЯдм
Shit, other than myself, I can only think of maybe a handful of people that I know didnt get one for certain. No living family that I associate with so at least that I didn't have to worry about, but some of my friends really shocked me, especially ones who were not concerned about needing one or didnt have an employer mandate, but just ran out and got it anyway. Then one told me he got his 7 and 9 yr old jabbed. That actually brought me to tears. I walked away from 70K a year at a job I would have done for free I was that serious about never letting that shit in my body. Broke as all hell these days, but, I won't be 'dying suddenly' anytime soon. And for the record, well fucking done holding your ground through it all. I was completely shocked and horrified what those demons were doing to ya''ll down there.
Yep, we had some doozies thatтАЩs for sure - communists through and through all of the Premieres in each state and territory. Lucky we donтАЩt have guns etc anymore, they got confiscated back in 1996 with the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania (which was another con job against the people) , otherwise there could have been some accidental deaths over the last few yearsЁЯдг
Shit, I remember when ya'll got that gun ban. My first thought was they are going to really regret that one day. Ditto Australia. However, there is a good chance things would have went very differently had ya'll still been armed. Here is the US, the severity of lockdowns had a very strong correlation to gun laws in each state. Strict laws, like California or New York, had near total lockdown, whereas places like Florida and Texas, among others with high ownership, people could mostly go about their lives. The possibilty of guns being pointed back at them shows the true cowardice of governments

You're kind and I like that. I was subscribed to Naomi's substack but I ended up purging that subscription, along with some others.
Same here.

John for me itтАЩs since 2001 - have been researching ever since.

Not a complete, but relevant list:
2003 тАУ Sars Covid 1 тАУ 1st trial of the psy-op
2009 тАУ H1N1 Swine -- 2nd trial of the psy-op
2012 тАУ Mers Covid 2 тАУ 3rd trial of the psy-op
2014 тАУ Ebola again тАУ 4th trial of the psy-op
2020 тАУ Covid 19 тАУ Expected last psy-op

In feminist terms, would her blind spot be called the B-spot ??
hahahaha. Touche
