CJ glad a friend turned me onto you at long last. Wish I'd come across your Covidian Cult piece when you published it. I'm looking for colleagues/comrades/compadres and coming up empty. This cult didn't begin with COVID, this is just the new face of a very old cult that also begins with a "C": Civilization. The solution to the problems posed by the most recent in a long string of putsches won't come by focusing on the diversionary hand, it will come by undoing the construct without which it loses coherence on all levels: psychologically, interpersonally, socially, politically, and if you're game, spiritually.

Is this a place where I can find such people?

CJ, I agree with your propaganda. But, as an illegal immigrant living in the heart of the Theater Company am not able to do much. I am not on Twitter or any other digital platforms, the greater majority of my acquaintances are just cattle heading to their final destination. I am scared of expressing my opinion in digital platforms, they have always censured me when I did it.

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and alike platforms are the feudal lords of our age. I don’t see how we are going to free ourselves from their dominant roles before they gas us all. I hope I am not being too negative.

That West Point US Military presentation which explicitly details current nanotech weapons capable of controlling and/or harming entire populations. Presented in 2019.

40 something years ago, I was the kind of idiot who would snort, smoke, and eat unidentified substances produced and sold to me by strangers. Pretty stupid, huh? But I was never, ever quite stupid enough to inject myself with any of it.

Impressed? Me neither, cause bottomfeeder numbskull baseline.

This won't be the first time I've been kicked out of bars, restaurants, theaters, religious gatherings, concerts, work, or cultural events, and it will not be the first time I've flipped off an authoritarian schoolmarm who thinks she's serving the public interest, either. This may, however, be the first time it's involved <not> taking a drug that's supposed to make me feel better.

Not a twit, don't tweet, not fake enough for Fakebook. Peace

Are you seeking to convince yourself amidst doubt?

My sense of propaganda is the weaponisation of language and of communication.

This is really not communication at all but only statements of reality assertion.

Communication is extension, self-revealing recognition both giving and receiving. Communication is the nature of Life or being.

The mind can operate as an interjection, as an imaging or model of reality/communication that can seem to come between giving and receiving, such as to render an experience of withholding or withdrawal from communication or separation, as a thing apart.

A thing apart from Communication, Life or being is set in its own terms as a thing in itself, or a self in and of itself. It sees all things in terms of itself, and reacts accordingly to others and world set in the frame of separateness, conflict and contradiction.

The 'reality' of the ego is a conflicted sense of self and world. It has all the reality we give it, bit none in and of itself because nothing IS in and of itself - but in concept - in mind, in imaged thinking and form.

I offer this to your freedom to alight in or ignore.

But my motivation is to share in what I appreciate, value and choose to meet in or resonate with. Without freedom, this would not be and so your freedom is mine, even if taking different facets of the whole or what it is to be.

I do not see or hold life or being as war, but I see the mind has this propensity to 'separate' in judgements given value and invested identity as a basis of sharing in like reaction, such as to reinforce an idea by opposition. The mind is very tricky. I invite watching the mind so as to know what you do, or else it can substitute or phish reality, while our attention runs in a distorted copy, unawares.

What a powerful writing style.

I have relatives in Germany, and what they tell me is pretty much what you're saying. A nephew of mine, Dietrich Brueggemann, began a series of satirical videos with his actor friends, called Alles dichtmachen, and his life became a nightmare. The MSM in Krautland is as corrupted as it is here; they just lie and lie and lie. Good piece. I look forward to your next one...

This Twitter idea is brilliant C.J. It cuts through all of the MSM fear-mongering, the demonization of we the unwashed/unvaxed heretics, and using each unique individual human face it challenges that madness and that demonization and brings our common humanity into the mix. Re-establishing our sense of common humanity is critical if we hope to mount an effective opposition to this unfolding nightmare. Thank you for this. Great idea.

"This is how we create “reality,” collectively, by persuading and influencing each other, or allowing ourselves to be persuaded and influenced, mostly by powerful ideological forces that do not care about us, and just want to control us, but also by each other, moment by moment, with every word we speak and every action we take."

Precisely this is a concept that we must grasp fully, understanding that, we're the ones who empower those who seek to control us. I'm trying to figure out how to ignore them out of existence.

My memes though, are more acerbic.

Thank you yet again for being alive, in the real sense of it, and brave, and again, so alive, and so brilliant. It's really hard to find good words that fit the circumstance.

I poured my soul into this, talking about abuse and propaganda, and fear, and overcoming all the monsters with massive, massive love.

Let's please prevail. Let's please prevail the soonest. Thank you again for moving souls.
