The first message is that covid19 is terrifying, unique, an existential threat to the human race. It tells people to be afraid. Very afraid. Of death, of uncertainty, of the ‘virus’, of other people, of ‘fake news’. The fear being encouraged is not rooted in facts, and is therefore impervious to them.
2.) THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR
The second message is that covid19 is actually pretty harmless and not that much of a big deal. This message is rooted in a great deal of fact, because, as we have been pointing out since day one, pretty much all the data coming out about this virus supports exactly this conclusion. No official body has ever denied this, and most of them readily admit it. Regularly and unambiguously. Here and here and here and here.
From the beginning of this crisis we have been pointing out that there are two mutually contradictory messages at the heart of the covid19 rollout, and, just as Orwell describes in 1984, a major point of the exercise seems to be to get people to believe both at the same time.... read the article (courtesy off-Guardian) ......

Liberal Snowflakes live in a world where all that ever drives anything is Climate Change, Sexism, Racism and various other PC issues where the way we solve issues is not uncovering their causes, it's focusing on the window dressing and expanding upon the list of what the wrong offensive words are. This is the manufactured consent generation with no real understanding of the world and such a strident lack of nuance and ability to explore the real underlying root causes of issues that we are seeing a new phenomenon emerge. The cause driven psychotic episode.
This psychological crises appears to stem from being in a state of conflict about strongly held beliefs clashing with clear evidence, producing detachment from reality because, just like with religion, when your identity is tied into your beliefs, and your beliefs are threatened, the person you believe you are is threatened, producing either crises or delusion. Delusion is how our mind protects us against crises.
Let's look at a few issues of 'Snowflake Meltdown'
The title picture of the Syrian revolution being linked to climate change.
This is perverse. We know neither climate or the propaganda alleging government abuse drives the exodus. A complex story of human tragedy, of a people pulling together under tremendous odds attacked by powerful external forces, being cheapened to a snowflake issue.
Here is the reality behind the refugees issue in Syria, very few of whom are farmers . Don't let them cheapen it.
Drive around Ghouta with President Bashar Al Assad and see destruction. Or below get an aerial view of Homs by drone footage (courtesy AFP News Agency and RT) to utter see utter devastation.
Climate Change is sexism, Hillary Clinton :
I don't even know where to start:
Stop using the word 'Man' (Courtesy Fox News) disingenuous balancing act between satire and the down right infuriating and entirely focally misplaced movement to crush 'gender bias'. There surely is a better way to campaign for gender equality?
But more insidious is what's happening in Delaware where primarily schools can override parents with children's gender Identity or race and keep it secret from parents.
The BBC does not believe they should be holding power to account stopping their government selling arms to let the Saudis Butcher the Yemeni people, but rather they have their finger on the pulse of the nation. MANSPLAINING., MANTERUPTING The real issues are given a shot in the arm with new vocabulary. Clip courtesy BBC. The BBC tries to strike an awkward balance with humour, but fails as things always do when there is serious contention proposed.
If you ask me, this is yet more divide and conquer rhetoric, only now the damage on the mental health of the Western society is being turned into some kind of perverse Borat satire.
Don't fall for the red herring that the Cambridge Analytica scandal is about that group, THIS IS ABOUT FACEBOOK! In fact, let's be serious here, this is a broader issue than that actually, but that's not the point of this post.
Make no mistake, this is not about Trump, or the Dems or any trivial partisan issues the presstitute echoe chamber will no doubt cough up, this is much more fundamental and serves as nothing more than a reminder that there is algorithmic prejudice, leaking (for both commercial and intelligence marshaling) along with a general attitude of profiling and reality manipulatation that has psychological, geopolitical and otherwise generally Orwellian unease associated with it.
Rather than getting bogged down in it I'll focus on Alternatives that don't serve this sort of ethos as obediently, as I did with part 1) above regarding search engines.
Alternatives to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the like.
STEEMIT. This is the gold standard, a blockchain solution! https://steemit.com
Bitchute.
Bitchute is a torrent based platform and all within your browser which is very valuable for those who see this as a viable solution : https://www.bitchute.com
Minds.
Minds is considered a solid option because it's encrypted, open source, community owned and places a lot of value on free speech, which is one of the most contentious aspects of all of this. There is a caution with minds, I've been told there are issues but since I've not tried it I'll let you decide. https://www.minds.com
D tube.
Any crypto-decentralized streaming platform gets my vote. Comes recommended. https://d.tube
VK.
For those of you disillusioned or suspicious of Western social media? Are you the sort of person who doesn't #BlamePutin every time you get a flat tyre? VK was originally a Russian platform now gaining massive popularity worldwide. Https://www.vk.com
As usual if you have suggestions or cautions, I'm only too happy to hear them, see the contact details for me in the non-mobile web version of this blog.
After losing its grip on its ability
to manipulate the public on BrExit and the US elections, the largest
fake news industry in the world, the mainstream media, is calling for
a clampdown on rival fake news. The irony is in your face, just like
the proverbial egg is on the face of CNN, Bloomberg, Sky, Al Jazeera,
The BBC and all the other usual suspects. The message is clear: Only
our fake news is acceptable.
What is “fake news”?
This is the big question, because there
is plenty of fake news out there, most of which is “Click-bait”
designed to lure us into clicking onto platforms who want to maximize
ad exposure and advertising revenues, but this is not actually a new
problem and we can usually work out which are spam sites by looking
at the other content on the sites. If the stories are packed with
tales of alien abductions and zombies we can work it out fairly
easily and we quickly learn to avoid these sites. We are not
complete idiots (hopefully).
What else can be considered fake news?
This is more worrying because once
major MSM sites like Google and Facebook start considering
alternative news sites (see the right hand column of this blog for
example) that carry a narrative different (or more truthful) than
their own spin and propaganda, even if it is rival propaganda, we run
into dangers of censorship. Censorship can take our ability to make
up our own minds away from us and channel only one perspective into
the public domain. This amounts to nothing less than mind-policing
and places the Orwellian “Thought-Police” scenario squarely on
the horizon. It's insulting and suspect behavior and ridiculous to
assert that we are voting incorrectly because the MSM are losing the
information wars. The real reason they are losing is precisely
because people ARE making up their own minds and this is dangerous to
the establishment.
I find it difficult to accept that this
is not an attempt to squash the alternative news movement, which
depends on the free availability of information and gives discretion
to the end users to act like free thinking adults and make up their
own minds. Over time we learn which sources are reputable and which
are not, and I am absolutely sure that I do not want institutions
that I already do not trust deciding what I should see and what I
should not see. As it stands I already find the algorithms annoying
and as far as I'm concerned the less filtering, profiling and
censorship, the better we are for it.
