177. SEEING THROUGH THE FOG OF THE INFORMATION WAR
I am not here to tell you what to think; I am here to tell you how to think.
You must understand gaslighting to grok today’s reality. The following is from Cassandra’s Memo. Download the latest version for free HERE, and as always, I appreciate your comments. I am hoping to get it published within a week or two.
To survive through our distressing and depressing age, you must face the facts. Only one path works: you must ignore authorities and look at the data yourself. If you do not, you will be making decisions based on what you are told by censors and paid-off “experts” like Fauci. I present information and give references, but you must evaluate it. I am neither a climatologist, a vaccinologist, a mathematician—nor a licensed physician now—but I studied full time for five years to learn the truths in my books…
Government, tech companies, and those aligned with them are telling lies, flip-flopping, and exaggerating to make us anxious, intimidate us, and lure us away from reality. If we understand this and ignore it, they lose power…
Full psychopaths have no regard for others but use their knowledge of ordinary people's sensitivities to manipulate them. They may fake empathy yet remain aloof and calculating. Some use tears or shouting to whiplash their victims' emotions.
Incessant lying, or a stark mismatch between words and actions, is the easiest way to spot them. Psychopathic lying is successful because normal people cannot believe that anyone lies as a routine. When ordinary people deal with this behavior, they may struggle with their mental health.
The central mystery is how these vermin could have gained so much control.
You just read a set of posts that generated comments. I did not expect this, but I have insights for you based on what happened.
When I was an emergency doctor, I learned how to make decisions. The critical one was whether a patient went home or got admitted to the hospital. It is a simple binary, a switch to flip, but mistakes can be disastrous. We use foundational logic such as "common things are the more likely" and "one cause for a problem happens more often than many." The best of us refuse to be confused by arcane debates or academic absurdities. Since we are trained to triage patients, these skills allow me to do the same for the complex data sweeping past us.
Here are a few points that seem obvious to me. Your truths may be different. It is up to you to evaluate and decide for yourself.
Using lawsuits, rich people who sue middle-class people force their targets to pay ruinous lawyers’ fees. These are like buying paperclips for the wealthy, and winning or losing—or even the issues litigated—are typically unimportant to them. Here is one example, and others are legion. Some New York apartment co-ops are inhabited by people worth tens of millions. But if they allow the wrong billionaire psychopath into their midst, he can dominate them with litigation threats. The co-op admission committees typically ask for twenty (20) references, then turn many people down anyway.
Comment sections of blogs like mine contain people who tell lies or promote inconsistencies (gaslight) to confuse or intimidate other observers. This happened in the last post. I generally do not take their "contributions" down because, most of the time, it is hard to judge sincerity.
Even those who are armored with skepticism should never underestimate their chances of being fooled by the next psychopath. They do not display signs of anxiety, remorse, or care about others in the slightest. In other words, they act just like we do, but many are practiced at feigning human qualities.
Judge the Breggins by their history. It is transparent, well-known, and reflects high ideals. They have stood up to criminal power at personal expense for many decades. Peter was an expert witness for the plaintiffs against Lilly during the first Prozac suicide litigations. The company knew about these deaths since the mid-1990s. By 2000, they had spent about $50 million settling and sealing lawsuits. Prozac had more legal problems than any drug in history up to then.
In this war, we are forced to take our allies where we find them and not be critical of different points of view. Although Malone worked his entire career for the wrong people, he seemed to recently have had a change of heart and was regarded by many as doing good work. One question of mine, among many others, is whether anyone can ever escape ties like Malone had (or has).
Here is my pep talk near the end of Cassandra’s Memo:
What we must do
Individual civil liberties are our doctrine, not collectivist drivel about “the most good for the most people.” If most of us understood this, ruinous vaccines designed to prevent hypothetical future bioweapon attacks would never be considered. Openness—free speech—is the first American value. “Security clearances” and government secrecy are contrary to this, and censorship is the worst.
Although we face wealthy, patient foes who are getting away with murder, they are not unbeatable. There are only a few thousand of them and billions of us. As a group, we are far more dangerous than the psychopaths. They are hindered by fatal hubris, swallow transparent frauds, and believe collectivist ideas that have been tried and failed countless times. There is no Great and Powerful Oz behind the curtain. They are small, aging, terrified men holding up a soggy tissue of transhumanist delusions to shield themselves from death.
If you hide now, you and your children will have an agonizing time later, for giving ground to predators emboldens them. If you think this is a spectator sport and do not help work the courts and the legislatures, civil disobedience will soon be all we have left. This is ugly and dangerous.
We will survive and even thrive if we step up. You have gotten my memo, and you must now share it. Stay frosty, keep at it, and the calamity will go no further.
PS: Here is an exhaustive takedown of Stew Peters and Died Suddenly:
I learned a long time ago to trust no one. Especially so on the internet. I will though lean towards trusting the likes of Alex Jones's before any media company. They need revenue, and lots of it, and will play with the news for views.
There are plenty of charlatans here on Substack or preachers of half truths. Then there are those who mean well but have a lousy BS meter.
I think it's just called humanism.
As I have come to appreciate from Jordon Peterson. Once you let free speech loose (which I advocate) the psychopaths take advantage to do their evil work. And, that is exactly the risk that Substack has in front of it, it can be a fatal risk too. This goes for Musk and Twitter also.
We must be on our guard not only for false, misleading data or narratives. But, also for purposefully crafted messages used for extreme evil. We have let the monsters out of the box buy or lack of concern for propoganda over the decades. We got fat and happy in the easiness of the West. Now, we are under attack and finding out our enemies have been surrounding us for decades.
This is not the time for a mental vacation. We are in middle of a information war that has dire consequences for the future.
It getting more difficult to trust anything about the last 3 years and the current effort to find the truth. It is easy to be bamboozled and faked out by various thugs who care only for themselves and what they can reap from other's fear and ignorance. It's a constant battle to find people and ideals that one can firmly believe in.
Yes, I believe the WEF and the elitists will fail in the long run. Since I am older, I don't have much to lose fighting back against tyranny. I don't know how I'd feel if I was 30-40-50 years younger. Without naming individuals ( in media, government, tech areas, the medical field, etc) there are some that are rock solid and I trust without a second thought, some that I flip-flop over and most I completely distrust or ignore.
