Cognitive Dissonance

What do you see in the picture above? A log on a beach, or a wily serpent hungry to eat? We can hold both as possibilities, subjective realities, or tricks of perception. More common is to settle on a single option and discount the other, claiming “the science is settled.” The strategy of denial seems to resolve the contradictions, relieving mental discomfort and emotional stress. But the band-aid does not heal the underlying conflict; it just hides it from view. Censorship has precisely this aim in the realm of the public psyche.

For some dyed-in-sheep-wool dissidents, it’s better to air out wounds and release unresolved stress to the light of day.  Better to lay out all the information and let truth and common sense prevail. Instead of squelching contrary evidence, let’s peel away the layers of obfuscation, and put propositions A and B face to face for the private and public witness to judge.

While we wait, ever so patiently, for a prosaic or legal debate to be arranged in our ideal democratic forum, let us meanwhile take what we can get—poetry, memes, and pithy quotes—to break down barriers to understanding, to offer snapshots of truth and lies in their bald comedic dance.

‘It is called an awakening because the masses are now beginning to understand the real purpose of the globalist agenda: the enslavement of the entire world’s population into a globalist plantation.’ —Bruce Cain

Science says, we want
the digitalization
to make you feel safe

You must have 5G
our engineered food rations
for your own safety

First, fear everyone
cancel everything normal
we will take the keys

so you can be safe
put aside those wayward thoughts
we’ll raise your children

Don’t be backsliders
we are the future—we! we!
Deaths? Coincidence!

Sickness? We’ll save you.
No more pain and suffering!
Sign here, say goodbye.

‘The thing they fear most is you discovering your true powers: Your ability to say no. Your ability to withdraw your consent. Your ability to form community with like-minded people and to use the natural abundance of the world to survive and even thrive without the need for their technocratic tyranny.’ —James Corbett, Technocracy is Insane, Anti-Human and it WILL Fail

All Hands on Deck

All Hands on Deck

It’s crunch time, mateys. All the flags are flying in a stiff breeze, sails bound for the edge of the known world. Telescopes extended, radars whirling, pigeons sent carrying messages afar. Landlubbers lament their muddy stasis, while we adventurers seek promised lands of our own discovery.

Who knows where these ships will land, or when? For now we watch the skies; retrieve crabpots to sustain us, and bottled messages of portent, hinting at hope in harsh truths revealed.

Castles in the Sand

‘And they filled the whole land with these castles. They sorely burdened the unhappy people of the country with forced labour on the castles; and when the castles were built, they filled them with devils and wicked men.’ —Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, 1137

‘People have power. We’ve been made to think that we are inert. We’ve been made to think nature is inert. And all it is, is a colonization of our mind.’ —Vandana Shiva, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJzbdcHQ4-A

Hamster Wheel Blues

‘As Elena Gorokhova wrote in her novel, A Mountain of Crumbs: “The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.”’ —Harrison Koehli

‘It’s like an ageing rock band reluctantly returning to their classic hits late in the set, after the audience has snored through their experimental new album.’ —Kit Knightly

The Elephant in the Brain

‘Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality is as close as our movement gets to a Unified Field Theory. Coulter argues that… the sharp rise in autism, cranial nerve palsies, depression, suicide, eating disorders, learning disabilities, seizures, allergies, family dissolution, demyelinating disorders, sexual violence, and other forms of psychopathy & sociopathy — all stem, at least in part, from pervasive subclinical encephalitis (and post-encephalitic syndrome) as a result of vaccines. Coulter provides extensive references from the scientific and medical literature at the end of each chapter to document his claims.’ —Dr. Toby Rogers

Sunlight, Not Gaslight

‘this entire campaign has been like demanding that everyone take fentanyl after a night of drinking and calling the people who won’t “anti-medicine” because the belief that “hangovers get better by themselves” is a conspiracy theory.’ —el gato malo, the sources and effects of vaccine hesitancy

‘mRNA was never a “safe” modality. it failed every therapeutic trial ever run, even oncology, because it was too toxic and too prone to generating autoimmune issues. this is why there were no mRNA drugs used in despite decades of work. choosing mRNA as a basis for a vaccine was beyond questionable and suppressing the adverse events and silencing doctors who speak about them is unconscionable.’ —el gato malo, sunlight, not gaslight

A Rude Awakening

‘One part of humanity has sunk deep into a hypnotic psychosis, and performed the most absurd and dangerous rituals on themselves and their children. The other part of humanity has looked on in horror at the engineered fear, trashing of human rights, and mass participation in a death cult… The waiting is painful for those awake, but there is agony ahead for those asleep.’ —Martin Geddes

Time to Choose

–by Mankh (Walter E. Harris III)

Time to Choose

middle finger or peace sign
coca-cola or clean water
republicans and democrats or trees
umpteen gender identities or every man, woman, and child
                    (and, yes, there are physical hermaphrodites)
melting pot or Original Peoples’ lands
the horrors of war or horror movies
plug-in diffusers or clean air
school shootings or common courtesy
rapes or hugs
fast food or simmer
stuck in the mud or paradigm shift
the wrong side of the tracks or improvement of public transportation
slave labor or looking forward to go to work
what are you doing? or how do you feel?
food insecurity or more zucchini than you know what to do with
God Almighty or everyone
stuck in the mud, the landslide, the tornado, the flooding,
the drying lake, the scorched earth
or
paradigm shift, paradigm shift.
brother and sister,
can you spare a paradigm shift?
