Last night I was out with a couple of friends and we had to change the subject several times because they are totally convinced that Climate Change is Real and We are to Blame! Trump is a Mad, Sexist, Racist Fascist Who Will Destroy America! Kamala Harris is a Bright, Intelligent, Sensible Woman! Covid Killed Millions! Masks Saved Lives! The Jabs are Safe and Effective!

I could go on - let's not forget Hitler-Putin - but you get the idea. These topics are not open for discussion and there is absolutely no space to suggest alternative opinions. I am considered a dangerous fool who is so misinformed as to be pitied. They believe the BBC completely and often tell me, when I contradict anything, that I really shouldn't believe everything I read!

People like this are totally inside the Matrix, totally part of the Death Cult. I see absolutely no way out for them. I did think when the lights went out due to Ed Milliband's obsession with powering the island with unicorn poo might be the moment but I'm doubtful that will do it (seeing as how Milliband Is Trying To Save The Planet!).

Interesting how they believe every single thing thrown at them and never ever consider looking at alternative viewpoints - it really doesn't seem to matter how stupid the latest thing is!

As an American who now has Trump for President, it's worth remembering -

Trump enacted these things and these things were not only horrific for "the people" but also the very definition of cognitive dissonance if a Trump devotee :

a) OPERATION WARP SPEED - Which unleashed the bioweapon on the American people and Trump repeatedly called "My Beautiful Vaccine". Which has resulted and will continue to result in millions of deaths and permanent disabilities including turbo cancers and infertility to cherry pick a few of my favorites from a very long list....

b) The installation of 5 and 6G hardware across America during the lockdowns regardless of local laws and restrictions causing untold slow-cooking damage via EMFs to the entire populace.

c) THE CARES ACT Which paid hospitals and doctors like a slot machine fixed on payouts for every positive covid test, intubation, prescription of Remdesivir and death certificate that listed covid as cause of death even if the deceased died in a car wreck, rendering this "health initiative" as the most profitable payday for "health providers" in the history of humankind.

So, there is obviously more than one way to skin a psyop and persuade people to believe what it's desired for them to believe. The BBC is only one tool.

I don't endorse any politician. Trump has no record of concern for the American people and I doubt he's grown a concern in the last four years or will in the next four.

Mr. Metatron is correct. The only sane move is to walk away from the system. Quietly and swiftly. Turn and go. Now.

I don't blame Trump for any of a), b), c). He started all three in good faith on bad advice.

a) he started the search for a vaccine but they were not available until AFTER he was voted out in 2020. Biden is the one who pushed hard to get everyone injected. (BTW I am not injected).

b) 5G was supposed to be safe according to Trump's advisors. Trump is no scientist and he trusted the wrong advisors. (BTW I live on the fringe of cell reception).

c) In 2020 we were all scared the Covid was some hugely dangerous disease so Trump did the right act by mobilizing medical care, he just chose the wrong advisors who pushed for iatrogenic medical procedures. He has better advisors this time around (BTW I never got Symptomatic Covid, never got tested. My doc refused my antibody test request but did offer me shingles, pneumonia, flu and Covid shots which I replied no, no,no and NO to).

I do agree we need to walk away from the system. How Trump will do as president this time remains to be seen as deeds speak louder than words.

Many people in The Matrix are not aware they are serving the system. We should be wary of all of them, regardless of their intentions.

No need to be wary - that just gives them power over us, also noting how quickly this becomes another us vs them.

We should probably be "wary of the attitudes and behaviours" of those in the matrix and continue to be influenced by that which is not. We can continue to be discerning without falling into "them and us" as a destructive pattern.

No. I would be more than happy to see everyone put this mess down and simply walk away from it. Leave the plastic houses and cars and lives behind and ignore the airwaves broadcast by phone or otherwise and sit down with one another even if only for one day and spend not one penny on anything and talk to one another while sharing a watermelon or whatever.

That's the beginning of my dream.

that is such a pathetic thing to say - and I hear it the whole time - just because folk criticise Trump, doesn't mean to say the support the other side of the Deep State WEF Uniparty - wakey wakey - Tulsi Gabbard is a WEF global young leader - do some digging as to who else Trump is hiring - his sponsors are deep state Zionist war hawks!!!! Musk and RFJ jnr are the sugar coating to fool the masses, whilst they swallow the poisoned pill of Trump's evil backers. - find out who funded JD Vance

s and Trump's campaigns - Deep State, mostly war hawk billionaires. CEO of Palentir being one of them. listen to what really good independent journalists like Whitney Webb is saying about all of this - she does amazing deep dive research to find out what's really going on and how the Deep State is infiltrated in so many ways - it's way more confusing and complex that what most people realise - I'm still very open minded about being wrong on so many points - it's almost impossible to know fully what's really going on as most of it is totally private, hidden and confidential.

Trump was not fooled and he was not incompetent - he's supposed to have his finger on the pulse and should have more intel as to what's going on in the world - really - not what we're told by the propaganda machine - so if via Dr Mercola, I knew in Jan 20 that the Wuhan lab had released a gain of function virus - which was so similar to flu that really either way, it was not a pandemic - and also knew about Event 201 the previous Autumn, then Trump absolutely should have known also - he must have known that the pandemic was a fake, that his own DoD was working with the Wuhan lab for years beforehand - and he must have known Fauci and the bioweapon jabs were bad news - plenty of people like RFK jnr were shouting from the roof tops about this - any sane person would have looked and studied what the "Disinformation Dozen" and the Great Barrington Declaration people were saying and put a stop to the insanity immediately - so Trump must have known and must have been going along with it.

100% and I get tired of people in the Trump cult as well. He was prez for 9 months of the "pandemic" and everything he set up was just continued by the next regime. People who say Trump didn't mandate... well, he is on record saying that he was going to mandate for military as soon as the shot was "approved". People keep forgetting that the *agenda* hasn't changed at all regardless of who is "president". The people didn't get to vote for the head of the UN, WEF, WHO, CIA, FBI, etc. The things that need to get done to push this NWO agenda will be easier under Trump. Under Kamala people would have resisted. But just like in 2020, as long as Trump says we have to do it, the sheep will just blindly follow and won't resist at all. There's a reason "they" let him win.

Difference is, he did not mandate did he, the Dems did. As for, "under Kamala the people would have resisted", that is laughable. They did not resist Biden and he is a dopey old man two sangers short of a picnic. I hear that crap all the time from so called patriots, "Oh we have guns and a second amendment". Yea right, how did that work out of the last four years.

The arguments you put forward are seriously flawed, suggesting that you did not quality assure your points before posting them;

1. Op Warp Speed, the president acts upon advice he is given by the SME's, if the advice is poor, that is not his fault, at which point is a President supposed to be an SME in every single facet of government and what it provides. The juice rolled out in 2021, Biden and the Dems were in charge. There was no evidence to suggest the juice was a problem because pharma withheld the evidence. But you can bet your right nut Fauci and some in the Dems knew it was dangerous to roll it out.. It was inherent on the them to comfirm it was safe before release. Not Donald Trump.

2.5G and 6G: Tthe first 5G towers went online in 2018 in the USA, long before Covid and that was being planned for in 2015 under Democrat rule. The Democrats controlled the Senate which would have approved the rollout of the technology, Trump inherited it.

3: 6G has not had the standards approved at this point and its only in the early stages and cannot be rolled out till the standards are signed off. Of the entire US population only half are 5G subscribers. Your claims that people are being cooked rank up there with those of the head of the UN 'The planet is boiling'.

I wont comment on CARES as I have not read that act and not in a position to speak to it.

You state Trump has no concern for the American people, Lets unpack what he actually did for the people. Unemployment in the period he was serving in the black american community went down significantly. He slapped tarrifs on Chinese imports to force American industry to bring manufacturing back in house. Intel built a new fab plant and numerous other companies moved their manufacturing back to the US.

Trump reshaped the Federal judiciary, that changed the ideological makeup of the courts that will last for decades.

He introduced the First Step Act that eased punitive imprisonment and in the beneficiaries cohort resulted in much lower recidivism rates than those who were released from prison without the benefit of the law.

He was also responsible for the death of that militant sock puppet Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019.

Whilst on the subject of war, he pulled American forces out of conflict zones that were not paying any dividend and never took America into another war during his first full term.. The Dems on the other hand, well look where they took the whole damn planet.

indeed - Trump is not a fool and he was not fooled - any open minded decent president would have at least found out for himself on such matters of huge importance relating to locking down an entire economy and mandating bioweapon jabs on the population - that he would at least have picked up the phone and spoken directly to so many brilliant and very well informed and intelligent people like (now funnily enough) RFK jnr - Dr Peter McCullough - and all the rest of the, to that year, incredibly well respected leaders in their fields - that were all suddenly silenced in 2020 - Nobel prize winners were silenced and lambasted - Trump could have listened to them at any point - if we all knew about folk like Dr David Martin and ex Pfizer Director, Mike Yeadon massively warning about this fraud, then Trump must - absolutely MUST have known about them and if he had any desire to know the truth an know what was really going on, they were all just a phone call away - and yet these people were silenced and shunned by the mainstream media CIA machine - but Trump could not have NOT known about them all. Trump was totally on the side of Fauci and without doubt must have known that his own agencies and DoD were working with the Wuhan lab for a decade beforehand - so many of us knew early in 2020 FFS!!!!

Not necessarily, if you have worked in government you would also know that people below the level of leadership will obfuscate and inform only what they want an individual to know. To expect the President to spend time on Rumble and other platforms is laughable at best. People at that level rely on the honesty, support and advice they receive from those around them. We all know there were filthy rats in the Trump administration the first time. I agree on Fauci, Trump should have flicked him when he started to become suss of him.

It's actually my cousin and her husband - she is basically my only relative left and we grew up together. She said back at the height of the hysteria that we simply wouldn't talk about it because we only have each other. She has thought for many years that I was a looney because I refused the MMR jab for my children and I always read all the ingredients and place of manufacture before I buy anything! However, she is the majority and we are the minority. I don't know anybody at all who would agree with me and not with her - it's quite exhausting but I've sort of run out of people to walk away from.

thankfully many of us are super brave and fearless and absolutely do talk and shout from the rooftops - I will never be silenced - I speak out in bars and pubs and any public parties - and sure, I'm sometimes not invited to those parties again and many of my old friends on email lists just never respond to my forwarding on website links - they just remain silent - or reply with a polite one worder "interesting" - and nothing more - my own brother with whom I am very close, received thousands of my emails but does not respond to any of them - not at least engaging in a conversation about their content - as he continues to watch the BBC and read the Guardian and be utterly brainwashed - it's not easy de-programming folk that have been in a cult all their lives. - it took me a five year period at least of awakening to the climate change BS - but I've at least always been absolutely in the know to never trust 95% of politicians - some are genuinely decent people - but they are the small minority - and they very rarely get into positions of real power - the central bankers and other Deep State players in the US and UK and across the rest of the world just simply never allow it. Jeremy Corbyn was a decent man IMHO - so the mainstream media set upon him to ensure the dumb masses never voted for him - using the ol' antisemitic card - which they're still playing out on a regular basis to this day - and yet folk still can't see through this utter charade. It's really woken me up to the fact that most, even "well educated" (by the State of course) people are not open minded, not critical thinkers and in so many ways, whilst showing certain types of intelligence, are actually very dumb and very unwise, but of course do not realise this - and you know this is the case, if when challenging their viewpoints and beliefs, they will not be open to it and not want to hear your views and be genuinely interested in a rational interesting debate, but will instead become super defensive, aggressive, irrational and avoid debating the topics at hand and instead will come up with all the same old usual defensive mechanisms that our rather basic minds do as a species - only by becoming far more self aware and dropping emotional attachment to beliefs, are we more likely to be set free - thus reading and fully integrating the works of the likes of Eckhart Tolle or the teachings of the Buddha, are we likely to be free to seek where the truth really lies. - as did the great Stoic Marcus Aurelius.

Andrew Bridgen was another one in the UK - it was just so ridiculous who the Tory front bench responded to him - and most of the time, they all just left the chamber and refused to listen to him - that was the most shocking and telling sight I've seen in a long time - and yet the masses don't question that? It's quite remarkable - but again, they played some weird anti semitic card on him, which was just laughable - no evidence or logical argument to back up those statements by Sunak and the rest at all! Senator Rand Paul and just a handful of others in the US also seem to be on our side and actually trying to poke massive holes in Fauci and his Deep State fraud narrative - but they are so few and far between - most bought and paid for by a very powerful and wealth Zionist lobby.

Expand full comment

People accepted the treatment doled out to Andrew Bridgen because he was portrayed as a mad anti-vaxxer. Amazing how simple it is for the state and the media to plant an impression in the public's mind! They did it to Bobby Kennedy in the States - mad anti-vaxxer. Not to mention people fully believing Putin Is Mad! Putin is Literally Hitler! Trump is a Dictator! The Planet is Burning/Freezing/Drowning! CO2 is Killing the Planet! People believe all of that without questioning any of it. Although they do seem to be questioning how electric cars will save the planet. Absolutely exhausting!

That hits home. Similar situation over here: Although I have MANY like-minded friends (Christian, deep red Texas), not so much on the family side, having grown up in a commie midwest city, so I tried to grin and bear with a favorite cousin that could give speeches but not accept retorts. She "disowned" me 3 years ago. Sad. But when the commies go kinetic, she probably would put a dagger in my back, or rat me out to the red brigade, so maybe a blessing in disguise. Sounds like you're trapped deep behind enemy lines?

Yeah, likewise, I just know I would be "reported to the authorities for my own good and to safeguard the vunerable" by my cousin and my few remaining friends. And I know they would not be able to see what they were doing but would believe they were doing the right thing.

I met staunch Kamala supporters (one was wearing a broach saying "Harris Walz" (I needed a translation!)), also believing she is very intelligent (was this something they heard on "the news"?). I blurted out that she can't even string a sentence together and the defence was "nor can he". It then became a "that's how the media chooses to portray them", which of course, goes both ways. Either way - my ending comment was - the country doesn't need a president to continue to run. No response. I honestly can't give it any more time of day, yet another divide and conquer point. But to your point - there is basically no room for discussion!

The World is divided by those that believe they are "right" - to be open minded and enjoy and love debate to seek the truth, no matter where it takes us, no matter whether or not it challenges our much loved and held values and beliefs - that's where it's at folks - where we are not emotionally triggered by someone challenging our beliefs or views - where we are genuinely interested to explore together - not them and us - to rationally and logically look at the evidence, look at the conflicts of interest of the sources of our information, feel in to the people passing us on the information to see whether or not they genuinely have our best interests at heart or whether in fact they're attempting to gaslight us for their own or associates' benefits - and to our detriment - this critical and deep analytical thinking will help us to find the deeper truths and understand the nature of the human psyche.

That's it in a nutshell: the system is the enemy. Your continue: Most people are not ready to be unplugged and so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. My sense is something different: MOST PEOPLE ARE MIND-CONTROLLED TO BE CLOSED TO THAT REALITY, THAT THE SYSTEM IS OUR ENEMY. They go: "It can't be!! That's impossible."

Not since Christianity became a world religion has any other "religion" been this successful. There's no other word for it at this point. These people are in a cult. It's a fact that people who are in a cult don't know they are in one. I just never thought I'd see this many people fall for something like this. I'm still astonished by it all. I was a little kid when "Jonestown" happened here in America, that was a small scale cult compared to this madness, but the principle is the same: Get people to believe something so completely that they will happily "drink the Koolaid" and die. Koolaid's definition this time around is "vaccines" and other health interventions. I'll never get over this for the rest of my life, but as horrific as it is to be on the outside looking in...

What is a bureaucracy? Eric Fromm in To Have or To Be, “The bureaucratic method can be defined as one that:

a) administers human beings as if they were things and

b) administers things in a quantitative rather than qualitative terms …

governed by statistical data…. Base their decisions on fixed rules arrived from statistical data, rather than on response to the living beings who stand before them… at the risk of hurting the 5 or 10 percent of those who do not fit into that pattern.

Bureaucrats fear responsibility and seek refuge behind their rules; their security and pride lie in their loyalty to the rules, not in their loyalty to the laws of the human heart.”
