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.
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.
Your comment reminds me of the Sadhguru book, Inner Engineering, that I just read. He pretty well says what you're saying re the tricky mind and getting out of it...
While we need to be, ahem, mindful, of inner engineering what is needed is some outer engineering.
Manufacturing a meme is a simple but effective way of momentarily getting out of the self absorbed selfish navel gazing self and trying to care for others and our species for a moment, for a change.
My point is that war is not the source, basis, creator or determiner of what and who your are, even if it is operating as the conditioning from which you perceive and react.
Nothing is more narcissistic than a Man's identification with his own thinking, mask it how you will to engineer or manufacture whatever personal and social 'realities' you think you want. Yet what you make will make you!
There is no awareness of Relationship in Narcissus, but to block it so as to protect a masked substitution for Reality. Hence the mask of virtue, for without it the hate, fear and guilt running beneath would be unmasked - and this is what the war is made to hide.
I invite putting aside what you take to be YOUR thinking to let a quality of relational being stir, move or prompt you to a different appreciation for living than me memes.
It is characteristic to project our own unconscious motives onto the 'other'.
You can then use your judgements of 'other' to address what your thinking masked your from owning - as if to make you happy.
Unselfconscious being is not manufactured, controllable or graspable. Self-consciousness is a capacity to inhibit, limit and seemingly oppose or deny reality - and we experience this at all levels of our human experience.
If you deny your (unselfconscious) Self, you will give yourself the experience of being denied, not least by seeking social reinforcement for grievance, defence and the call to war and sacrifice AS IF in the name of love - but always a broken, rejected, abandoned, denied, deprived, betrayed and lost love set in symbol.
Is THIS is god or power you invoke in worship of victimhood as source of 'caring'.
You are correct in this much; that any insights of life are soon marketised and weaponised by a mindset in lack, fear, loss of love and greed for a substitution.
So the words that are associated and made symbol of anything worthy of what we truly are, can be set in weaponised language or 'propaganda' of attempt to get or to manipulate by stealth and guile in place of open attack.
We don't really get out of an impossible situation, such as recognise we are not in it. The ego is an ingenuity for defining our self in contradiction or 'masking doublethink'. A split mind that knows not what it does. Brining our own thought and word to awareness in the heart of being - rather than the mask of virtue made by thinking - is the willingness to let our own self-propaganda be undone.
That which has an element of truth or worth is refined or redeemed to it original and that which has no substance is released as a meaninglessness that COSTS our awareness and appreciation of meaning. Until we see this, we will suffer evils as an active intent to deny or destroy us, that will set our body and mind in contraction and reaction to what our past has stamped on our present such as to deny presence in dreams that turned to nightmares with no way out.
An elitist exclusivism runs its memes on the minds of the many, to recruit 'sin eaters' whose thinking is set to acquire virtues, as credits by which to suffer less. Repackaging toxic debt in complex instruments is the mind of deceit set in highly defended self-evasion that flocks together as a greed for possession and control. The botnet of mind capture is founded on self-interest set in the frame of getting for a separated or distanced and masked immunity from truth.
That this cannot function to support life is the game of socially engineering 'musical chairs' and 'pass the parcel' - as to who gets a chair and who pays in sacrifice. The struggle to control the mind must then reveal itself hollow and false, and destructive - as an anti-life agenda.
Here is the crux of a choice;
Do you polarise against it as if a 'resistance' taking virtue by demonisation and attack?
Or seek out and release all that is already running as part of it bot-net of false thinking to open and accept a quality of responsibility for life that 'unconsciousness protected from'.
None of what I write is to suggest that our doing or action is absent - but that it must embody who and what we are accepting and identifying true of us in its moment. One who acts without inner recognition for being is as one who knows not what he does under subconscious habits that go back to unconscious or denied experience that is no less active for being packaged as the past, or as something covered over and replaced with complex adjustments and adaptation to a present sense of face as control.
Pal,your world needs a haircut. You are worse than a fundamentalist tv preacher presuming to use this comments section for sermons. Leave it to yer own blog and don’t presume any of us want to read it !!!
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.
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.

Is this a place where I can find such people?

Zelenko has a great message: Turn away from bad, do good, & live. Do not live in fear.
Avoid golden calf of the vaccine.
That West Point video got taken down.
Catch up on the last 15 years of biotech here. It's amazing.

Very nice but completely off point and a distraction. Please do as CJ asks …
What wear a mask and distance from living truth?
Are you a propaganda marshal Thom?
Freedom is as gives.
I you find any intent to undermine a love of truth and life in what I write - please engage me in an example I can meet in.
Your response illustrates the pattern that I choose not to join with, share in or comply to.
Make a meme dude your blather is uninteresting and does nothing.

Then get back to inner engineering.
Rinse and repeat as the propaganda sez.
You can need as your mind dictates but do not presume to speak for others without consent, or you presume in ignorance!
I know you will say that your world dictates, and that the actions of others dictate...

I didn't tell you what to think or what to do!
You are free to ignore what you do not choose to listen to.
But there is a mindset that is giving the world a 'haircut' or more like; a lobotomy. It refuses to look within.
What a powerful writing style.
