So, the Meander-in-Thief of the United States caught covid, despite telling everyone that if they’d been vaccinated they couldn’t catch it. But, you know, it would have been much worse if he hadn’t had, you know, umm, the thing.
Dr Jha tried to reassure the American public at a White House press conference by stating that
The president is doing better. He slept well last night, he ate his breakfast and lunch — fully! He actually showed me his plate...I did see an empty plate with crumbs
It’s actually much worse if you watch the video clip of him saying this. He smiles and mimics holding up an empty plate.
My first thought on seeing that clip was “ . . . and did he use the big boy potty too?”
If you watch clips of Brandon from a while back you’ll see a man in full possession of his faculties. He’s sharp, quick-witted, acerbic, doesn’t stutter, and rarely fluffs his words or spend several uncomfortable seconds searching for one. You’ll see a man who does not need a teleprompter or carefully prepared and screened questions with scripted answers, but someone who very capably deals with whatever is thrown at him. In other words, a consummate politician.
Today, we have a man who is getting a gold star for having eaten his din-dins.
As much as the guy creeps me out, and as much as he comes across to me as one of the most insincere politicians I’ve watched (although he still has a few lessons to learn from Dustbin Turd-eau on that score) it’s painful to watch a man who is only the merest fraction of what he once was.
Surely it’s time to let the guy watch re-runs of SpongeBob SquarePants wrapped in a tartan blanket with his fluffy slippers and let Kum-All-In Harris have a shot at working together so that we can all work together in togetherness to work together.
It’s kind of obvious that Brandon couldn’t even run a bath, much less run a country, so who is really pulling the strings?
It’s a question I’ve been asking myself more and more these days. As one of the few survivors of #ToastyTuesday in the UK I’m pondering on who gave the order for all the weather maps used across various countries to turn red?
They used to be green with friendly little clouds and suns peppered on them. Now they look like something from a post-apocalyptic drama on Netflix.
It’s obviously deliberate manipulation. But did all the media companies decide to do this independently? That’s possible, but somewhat unlikely.
We saw this in the pandemic too. Across the world scores of news outlets, more or less simultaneously, ran with the phrase “a threat to democracy” to describe those on Team Reality who opposed the insane measures. Now, I get that most of these places are getting their feeds from a small number of sources like Reuters, and so we’d expect some similarity in the news - but this wasn’t news, it was the promotion of a specific, targeted message.
Did all the directors and managers of those outlets just independently decide to adopt the same political message? Possibly, but it is something of a stretch.
More and more we see what appears to be coordinated messaging. It could just be it’s a whole bunch of people acting independently and, wonder of wonders, all just happening to hit on the very same messages at the very same time. Yes, of course - that must be it. How silly of me.
Let’s watch how many more countries start adopting the Sri Lankan method for economic growth in the near future and start to place limits on farmers - all in the name of climate change. Because as #ToastyTuesday shows us when temperatures rise above 35 degrees Celsius, even for 36 hours, everything bursts into flame.
I can’t be the only one to be somewhat suspicious of just how convenient it was for all of those fires to happen on the same day in the UK. Did MI5 happen to have lots of careless barbeques on that day or something?
The attacks on sanity and reason are only just getting started - and the covid restrictions were a huge, huge success from the perspective of just how easily a majority of the public can be convinced to do all sorts of dumb things by incessant manipulation. They did Sweet Fanny Adams in terms of mitigating the virus, of course.
Look at how much foothold some really dumb things have achieved in just a few short years. It has been achieved by weaponizing empathy and emotion - just as support for the dumb covid measures was engendered.
Take the really dumb idea of microaggressions. Tell everyone that there’s this thing we need to know about (here are the “studies”), tell them that it hurts and offends people - and you don’t want to do that do you? - and pretty soon you’ve got everyone looking for these fucking things, and worrying about everything they say.
Ten years ago if you were being interviewed on some breakfast TV show and you said “only women can give birth”, the presenters would have looked at you like you’d gone a bit crazy.
Errrrr, yes, and water is also wet, what are you trying to say?
Nowadays, if you make that statement, you’ll be called a transphobic bigot, a hateful person. It hasn’t taken very long for this to happen. And all you need to do is to groom kids into this kind of batshit insane ideology and you’ll ensure the clownosity continues for many years to come.
The speed and pervasiveness of all of this messaging - it’s on the news, it’s on TV, it’s in the movies - might be a result of lots of people all independently coming up with the same viewpoint, but what are the chances of that?
We’re being manipulated. Of course, the counter-argument is that these ideas are right and it’s just that more people are now recognizing they are right and the reactionary dinosaurs are just not getting it - so there’s no concerted manipulation going on at all.
That would explain all the censorship and abuse then wouldn’t it? Because when your ideas are right, supported by science, that’s how we convince other people of their rightness - you shut them down, scream in their faces and call them bigots. You must never, ever, try to engage with the counter opinions and set out your arguments in a logical, rational manner. That’s just so old fashioned - you crusty old Boomer.
The media is there to provoke outrage, to manipulate you into thinking you’re a virtuous person without actually being a virtuous person. More to the point, it is selling you a crock of shit - here’s what we have decided you need to care about, and here’s what you must feel about these issues
Those guzzling the MSM kool-aid are low information people who imagine themselves to be smart fully informed and enlightened. Those who manufacture the kool-aid can't risk having their customers exposed to ideas, concepts or, questions that might challenge their 'thinking.' So they push for censorship.
Truth can be arrived at independently. Lies require co-ordination.
Many out-of-this-world intellects (eugyppius, El Gato, William Briggs, Z-Man) think this is all about greed, bureaucratic stupidity, and a power-grab by governments. I respectfully disagree. As you point out, the co-ordination of messaging everywhere, all at once is awfully suspicious.
Covid was the initial stage of the rocket our Oligarchy plans on riding to the New World Order they've dreamed about forever. Omicron, unfortunately for our lizard overlords, inoculated people before all could be stabbed with the deadly juice. So said the embodiment of evil in a cardiagan:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhXQvLqoh5M . So they had to jettison that spent stage, and now it's "climate crisis" and monkeypox's turn to power the fear levels.
Also, warming up in the bullpen is WAR. The ventriloquists had their Joe Biden dummy sign over $50 billion in aid to Ukraine. This war is far from ending, I fear. America plans on fighting to the last Ukrainian, it seems.
