That Auschwitz Memorial tweet is perfect for an article I’m working on now—thank you for alerting me to it, Ann!

"We all need to be careful. Hate is easier that you think. And it hides behind things like fear, self-righteousness and, these days, social justice."

I dig this.

Instead of feeling disdain for the moment and people we think are causing it we can point to the systems and the emotional thrust behind them in critiques, but blaming people, feeling superior, and wanting revenge of some kind, man, that ain't goin nowhere.

And I find we often turn to the darkness for solutions when we feel a fear. People get murderous fast, too reactionary, instead of facing a situation head on and defusing they often make everything worse by creating unnecessary enemies by trying to dominate the situation.

But this is the age of the petty tyrant, and as Carlos Castaneda made note of, if the petty tyrant makes us angry, sad, lost in pain, or anything else other than whistling a different tune with a smile in our heart through all that noise then we'll ultimately become the petty tyrant because we'll be using their tactics to handle the situation, and hence further the rule of the petty tyrant.

Yes...thank you for fleshing it out. You point to the real treachery. I catch myself all the time. And I have to imagine that sometimes I don't. Much of the spiritual warfare is happening on the inside. It's where we have to be most vigilant. The petty tyrant looms in all of us.

Since I landed in the Substack universe Jessica Rose has become on of my favorites even though it’s often a stretch to read some of her more scientific articles. But what I love the most about her is the humanity and warmth that comes through. When I read the above mentioned piece yesterday all I could think of is how absurd it is for someone to attack such a brilliant and decent soul. But in the comments it was revealed that the culprit is a Gates hired shill who basically does this for a living (and is rewarded with lots of Big Pharma stock).

I think defending BigPharma's narrative is kind of what Dorit does. I think it comes as naturally to her as defending informed consent and medical freedom comes to many of us. I think she genuinely NEEDS this to be the truth somehow.... I remember, years ago, reading comments in a post - I think it was on Richard Pan's page... or maybe Paul Offit's - and observing "out loud" that felt like an echo chamber. The attack that ensued was the first one I experienced. The commenters looked me up, mocked me, posted my website... I remember actually feeling scared and not knowing what these people were capable of. Dorit was one of the people. That experience was my intro to her.

Someone posted this in a truth and freedom forum I go to:

MESSAGE TO THE UNVACCINATED:

"Even if I were pollinated and fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for withstanding the greatest pressure I have ever seen, even from partners, parents, children, friends, colleagues and doctors.

People who were capable of such personality, courage and critical ability are undoubtedly the best of humanity. They are everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, states and ideas. They are of a special kind; they are the soldiers that every army of light wants to have in its ranks. They are the parents that every child wants to have and the children that every parent dreams of having. They are beings above the average of their societies, they are the essence of the people who have built all cultures and conquered horizons. They are there, next to you, they look normal, but they are superheroes.

They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination and social exclusion. And they did it because they thought they were alone, and believed they were the only ones.

Banned from their families' tables at Christmas, they never saw anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, had no more money ... but they didn't care. They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, betrayal and humiliation ... but they kept going.

Never before in humanity has there been such a "casting", now we know who are the best on planet Earth. Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races or religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything collapsed.

That's you, you passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, Commandos, Green Berets, astronauts and geniuses could not withstand.

You are made of the stuff of the greatest who ever lived, those heroes born among ordinary men who glow in the dark."

For some reason, I'm not able to "like" this. But I would love to repost it. Do you know the source?

It appeared exactly how I pasted it. No source. No link. No name mentioned. But I’ve seen it reposted in a few places.

I remember those days where questions pertaining to safety were attacked like sharks going after baby fishes. One time Brandy Vaughn appeared on an online radio show where the host and callers were so hostile she just hung up. Like Richard Helm former CIA director said, they knew their job was accomplished when everyone accepted everything false to be true. This is the challenge we all have faced.

That's definitely not the only hostility Brandy Vaughn faced. But, yes, I'm often shocked by how far down the food chain they are willing to go. It's not just the Brady Vaughns. It's the Ann Rosens and Jeff Schreibers. It's anyone who might resonate...

And, yes, Jessica Rose is a new favorite of mine as well. She's raising the bar on multiple levels.

Excellent essay on censorship and the marginalization of people, ideas, and facts. It's an endemic phenomenon with descent as the sole discriminator. The biggest leaders in the [new] "anti-vax" movement are all classical liberal thinkers, as one would expect since classical liberalism embraces diversity of thought in the pursuit of knowledge. Diversity of thought requires descent. RFK jr, Naomi Wolf, Steve Kirsch, and Robert Malone are just a few examples of the brave and forthright people whose efforts are nothing short of heroic.

The powers that be are coming for everyone like Toby Rogers, RFK Jr, Dr Robert Malone and anyone who dares speak up or pushback against tyranny
