A few weeks ago, three friends on Facebook told me that they wished for my death.
One of them I didn't really know. He freaked out when I calmly suggested there were viable treatment options for those with Covid. He responded: "Stay out of my life!! I hope you get Covid and die!"
The other two friends were people I knew in college 45 years ago, one was my freshman year roommate, and the other guy introduced me to my first wife. He suggested that I prove Darwin's theory and perish from the virus, the other just basically said I deserved what was coming as a selfish unvaccinated science-denier.
Covid's willing executioners.
I know Facebook is certainly not the ideal place for reasonable discourse. As a psychologist, however, I do find it an interesting sample of a certain extreme way of thinking and behaving.
I also believe my experience with "friends" wishing for my demise is not unusual amongst those on that side of the fence in this debate. At least not unusual in thought.
As we all know, Facebook is the place of no inhibition. However, that said, I do believe it is a grave concern that human beings can be manipulated into this dark manner of thinking and feeling.
The operative word here is "manipulate."
I do have faith, that for the most part, human beings have evolved from a cave mentality when confronting "other" in the culture. In cave days our psychology was programmed for survival, and it didn't take much coercion to view members from another tribe that wandered into territory that was not their own to be immediately met with suspicion and fear.
Today, many thousands of years later, I think it takes a bit of manipulation to view "other" as fatally dangerous โ but not much coercion, so it seems.
In this regard it appears we have lost any scintilla of common sense. How can a government (or more likely an even higher organization of authority) convince the masses so easily that the unvaccinated are the mortal enemy with not a whiff of science in the argument? This clearly is a case of the emperor's new clothes, but it isn't going to take only a small innocent child's exaltation that the emperor is naked to make everyone see what is true.
Why is this?
I'm afraid it is human nature โ at least a small part of human nature โ that these days needs a little coercion to come out in full bloom. For me, as a psychologist, it is more proof that there is an organized agenda, a "psyop" if you will, driving this whole debacle. When humans are put into this sort of psychological environment, their reaction is very predictable.
A friend of mine, Dr. Mark McDonald, who is a prominent psychiatrist and has a very prestigious practice in California, told me this in a recent conversation:
"Pandemic of the unvaccinated" has emerged as an expression of propaganda meant to provoke anger toward those who exercise medical choice in deferring or refusing the experimental vaccine. It is meant to isolate, shame, and humiliate anyone who will not agree to surrender medical autonomy to the state. It intentionally divides Americans against one another while simultaneously distracting attention from the medical reality of poor vaccine efficacy and vaccine harm. The expression is devoid of scientific meaning but full of coercive psychological power. It must be challenged.Again, we see this idea of "coercive psychological power" come up in Dr. McDonald's comment. Propaganda and the manipulation of the masses has been a key tenet in totalitarian regimes. Pitting person against person is of utmost importance to having control over the masses. Even in Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, the opposition to the state was created by the state to keep the masses distracted, or so it is implied.
I am reminded of the Stanford Prison Experiment as well as Milgram's obedience studies at Yale. Milgram set up an experiment where a subject, someone who did not know the parameters of the experiment, was in control of administering an electric shock to the "learner" if he/she failed to answer certain questions correctly.
The "learner" was also "in" on the experiment and in fact received no shocks. The authority figure egging on the subject was also, of course, "in" on the experiment and played the role of authority that the subject had to succumb to. "Just following orders" is the phrase that immediately comes to mind.
The current phenomenon regarding the persecution of the unvaccinated has some correlation with this experiment in that people, when pressured by the "mainstream authority or narrative," tend to have little or no connection with a natural empathy toward the group identified as "other" (the unvaccinated).
The subjects in Milgram's experiment consistently detached from the learner's pain and tended to dissociate from them as fellow humans. They ceased to see them as in the same tribe as themselves; they were quickly reclassified as "other."
The difference in the results of this experiment and the current situation is that "other" (the "learner") posed no threat to the subject in Milgram's experiment. He or she was just disobedient to authority, i.e., was not doing correctly what authority demanded him/her to do.
Now, in our present situation, the vaccinated are convinced by authority that the unvaccinated are in fact a threat (as well as not being obedient to the parental agenda). Authority is doing this through any means available to them, and it makes no difference if these means have even the slightest scientific truth to them (they say of course it is all scientific, but with further scrutiny, it certainly is not).
We saw this early on with the mask compliance. Those wearing masks were identified as one particular tribe: the "good" tribe who possessed community values. Those not wearing masks, or complaining about them, were the other tribe: the bad tribe, who were selfish, stupid, and science deniers. (to paraphrase Orwell's sheep in Animal Farm: "four legs good (mask), two legs bad (no masks)").
Now this effort of segregation and persecution has moved to the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. It is not the "right" science that will disintegrate this tribal conflict: it is a psycho-social issue, not a pragmatic objective one.
In a recent Charles Eisenstein article "Mob Morality and the Unvaxxed" he states:
My point is that those in the scientific and medical community who dissent from the demonization of the unvaxxed contend not only with opposing scientific views, but with ancient, powerful psycho-social forces. They can debate the science all they want, but they are up against something much bigger.Daniel Goldhagen's book, Hitler's Willing Executioners (from which this article's title is derived) presents a thesis that the persecution of the Jews in Hitler's Germany was not only an exercise of obedience to Hitler's ideology but was the result of a long history of German antisemitism. This very well could be true, but in my opinion this historic antisemitism was only the hook which made it easier for Hitler to hang his ideology.
Today's willing executioners do not need a history of racial discrimination to hang their hatred of anti-vaxxers, but instead rely on a simple identification of "other" (unvaccinated) and a hatred for those who "don't care about me, or those that I love." The key common denominator it seems is the common concept of caring for others before caring for yourself, which, ironically, is clearly not the true psychological operator in this situation.
These people seem to care far more for themselves and their own safety (and their opinion) than they do for the rights and freedoms (and safety) of others โ take the jab to save me, never mind you might die or get sick in the process.
So what we are actually experiencing is "normal" โ normal from the perspective that human beings have the innate capability of being all sorts of ugly things, particularly when gathered in crowds: tribes.
If coerced and manipulated in a particular way, as has happened countless times in world history, they can become unconscious, irrational, nonempathic, monsters. I will close with a paragraph from another excellent article by author CJ Hopkins (which can be found in its entirety on Off-Guardian's website) "The Approaching Storm":
Thus, their plan is to make our lives as miserable as possible, to segregate us, stigmatize us, demonize us, bully, and harass us, and pressure us to conform at every turn.Hunker down.
They are not going to put us on the trains to the camps. GloboCap is not the Nazis. They need to maintain the simulation of democracy.
So, they need to transform us into an underclass of "anti-social conspiracy theorists," "anti-vaxxer disinformationists," "white-supremacist election-result deniers," "potentially violent domestic extremists," and whatever other epithets they come up with, so that we can be painted as dangerously unhinged freaks and cast out of society in a way that makes it appear that we have cast out ourselves.

The above was an interesting discussion on mass pyschosis. No doubt what the authors friends and countless others suffer from. What is both sad and ironic is that these people have sealed their own fate, a world of death, illness and slavery - unless the few of us awake can stop some of it.
& we are not all equal, some are tall, some are short, some are skinny, some are fat, some are different skin colour , which the above doesn't making me worry ..
But there are some which they have a psychopathic DNA, you could called Reptilian, Serpent DNA ? Total lacking of empathy & enjoying the suffering of other creatures ? Those are the people that I avoid & shun !
I've noticed half the trolls out there simply don't realize they are mouthpieces for evil, anti-human entities. The amount of raw, unbridled sick death threats I moderate is just downright fucking ridiculous.
One of the biggest patterns in these extreme left trolling groups is the virtue-signaling crazies that all use a circular frame with writing around their profile pictures for FB or IG.. I have since started collecting every example of this I can find. So far:
"I got my COVID19 Vaccine"
"I have a healthy distrust of authority, and I'm Vaccinated"
"Disinformation is Deadly / Vaccines Save Lives"
"Vaccinated"
"I'm Vaccinated, why aren't you, you stupid fucking fuck?"
...The list goes on and on. I realized that each one is designed to appeal (triggers? lol) individual personality types. I've also noticed TPB take over unused/retired accounts and use them as bots to spam different companies or influential people's pages to discreetly advertise governMental obedience. I've also started collecting pics and names and cross referenced a few to find actual obits.
I'm on the younger side of the SOTTite spectrum; I had hope of the entire human race emerging from this technological adolescence much like a beautiful, fully formed creature. But mucking through this shite on a daily basis I'm realizing just how fucking naive I've been.

We used to say that TV appealed to the lowest common denominator. Now social media fulfills that role to a far greater degree than TV could ever envision.

While growing up, I was part of the technologically fascinating 90s - dad worked for semiconductor corp in SoCal, previously at Intel, and I was part of a silly small high school group that built computers and decided to break in to our school's network and change a few grades around for fun. Instead of punishment, we got extra cred for starting the school's hacker's club.
My dad always used to say: You're either at the table, or on the menu. A LOT of people won't give up socmedia - and refuse to see the strings. As a freelance coder/moderator, I feel I have established at least some scruples. (I could be sooo wrong about that too, lol moral relativism at it's finest?). My brother-turned-trans-sister, although, works for a big brother company that designs light bulbs and other electronics with hardware for large companies (notably Target) that has embedded software designed to interact with patrons' cell phones. For example, if you're in Target and have the app to save a few bucks, the lights actually emit a ping signal and track you -whether you have the app open or not - during your entire shop. So he/she totally sold out imo and we love debating it.
I guess what I'm saying is for a generation like mine, if you don't learn to work the system as many ways as you can to prevent being exploited, then that's exactly what will happen. As Americans, we should be used to fighting tooth and nail for every iota of freedom we have - including our right to independent Digital spirituality. (ok I made that last part up, but it sounds like it might be right ....ish? )
It's important to be have a function (or create one) where we can make a difference. Even if it's outing trolls/bots/scammers/ads. I'm proud discriminate and choose only clients I can still look at myself in the mirror in the morning.
Love THAT!! And keeping ok? ๐โโ๏ธ
Loved that spirituality digital freedom bit too
Not my business and not judging, but Dad must have had his workout lined-up for him re: his off-spring having sprung.
I have had a smartphone in the past occasioned by the fact that I was once a leader in my Buddist organization and people expected me to have one for instant communication. Don't get excited. My Buddhist organization has about a zillion leaders from small groups of 2-3 to national level. I found the constant communication and texting tedious, boring, and frivolous. If people needed me to do something for them, I was only too happy. I love people, and I love interaction with people. (Pity the poor person I encounter on my grocery shopping trips these days...for my Buddhist organization is currently open only to vaxxed people and "friends" who are vaxxed are leery of the unvaxxed...so I strike up conversations usually with people in the stores.) However, most often, in the past, I found smartphones a lot of technological babble and massaging of feelings signifying nothing.
I have a rather fiercely independent nature. I don't want anyone tracking me. You want my data? Then, you need to pay me a fair compensation for what you receive selling that data to other companies who are developing software to mine and correlate that data into a software app for them to sell...and/or subsets which they probably sell to other companies mining for government agencies developing social control over their populations.
I never joined social media (which, for me at my age, was largely people joining Facebook to be in instant communication with children and grandchildren) because I didn't care what other people were doing nor needed a report from them aside from their Christmas cards, and I had no children--never wanted them. Any genuine friend, OTOH, I would see regularly, and we would communicate face-to-face.
So, from my perspective...or should I say age and inclination...I simply saw little value in them. I no longer have a smartphone or any cell device. I don't have my TV plugged in. I don't watch TV. I get my news from computer daily. If the internet goes down, I'll try to get news via a portable shortwave radio. Otherwise, I'll read the tons of books waiting for me.
My fondest dream is to be living in the deep country where the messages I hear are from the birds singing; the winds whispering or bellowing through the trees; the natural vibrations of the Earth under my feet; and some communication and interaction with a small community of people. If I can leave this world behind...in which I see nothing worth fighting for...nothing which drives me...nothing which excites me (except, maybe, growing herbs and a large vegetable/flower garden--for Nature is a brilliant teacher), I will be very happy (with a few cats and a dog).
Hang tough.

They believe, by being good citizens, following the rules set up within the community, and becoming a valuable resource in their towns and cities, that they can help bring about change toward understanding among people and world peace. I think this thought a noble and valid one.
For example, the man who led the international organization through much growth for decades was among the first Japanese to initiate relations with China in the 60s believing that world peace lay through human beings talking and communicating with one another. His own government opposed him at the time, but he was significant in opening communication between the two countries.
However, Covid presents a different set of challenges. They simply see the situation differently than I do. They believe Covid is a pandemic disease and believe in the narrative which attends that assumption. I believe that Covid is an atrocious abridgement of human rights with governments everywhere attempting to insert a control over their societies to plug into a NWO. Whereas we each could "believe" our own assumptions, narratives, and stories before Covid, we can no longer do so at this point.
The inner life condition they culitvate is valid and pure. However, we each came to this planet to learn different lessons. Their lessons are different from mine at this juncture. Perhaps in the future, I'll be in an environment and place where I'll be able to practice with them again.
They continue to have Zoom meetings for everyone in the organization which they've also held for all sections and sectors of the organization--young men, young women, district level activities, teachers, lawyers, etc. So, they continue with Zoom meetings, but they started in-person meetings in August as small vaxxed groups were allowed to congregate within a closed space in my state. I will not attend any meeting in which I have to wear a mask. Period. So...I doubt that I'll participate in my organization soon.
Like it or not, you have a HUGE digital self, like anyone else posting here on SOTT with all different platforms (safari, duckduckgo, phones), somehow speaking the same language. It's not about iclowds and megapixls..
Good Optics it's about engaging in an absolute new form ( less than 100 yrs old) of communication that we'll have to MUCK MUCK MUCk through the hardest parts of humanity before we can see a true language or a true REFLECTION - an actual back and forth communication. It may take years and years... it has already taken decades...
I thought my fondest dream would be "to get away from it all" and start a rural life, in gorgeous ass mountains (I'm a thrill surfer, snow or ocean).. We (me, hub) did. Tried. And all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
For a LOT of people in my generation, "living way out there" isn't a part of the makeup. It has this wild romanticism about it. So, I find my AM radio fascinating and my son and I play with it (how do you get to Carnegie hall..). My amazing job means I live to serve causes greater than myself - with my nerdy ass knowledge. I "feel" like I live simply.

The computer has become extremely toxic to me--I'm taking "days off" so my digital self will be dwindling. Reading books I've put aside.
Sure, RC. Some newbie is going to say, 'Me, me! I don't know!'
I actually did that once in law school. A total See the autobiography (STAB) moment. I was trying to signal to a friend behind me and there was apparently a tough question that the by me ignored Professor had hanging in the air (no one offered - it apparently was a true stumper) and there I was, hand in the air, looking backwards, he said "Yes, Mr. RC?" and I said, paw still awkwardly held in the air, "I don't know."
"Me, me! I don't know!" OMG, the place fell down laughing and I did not hear the end of it for a year.

I will skip any number of appropriate and pithy Bard quotes. Great stuff that. Are you aware (I bet you are) that there is a very good chance that 'Shakespeare', the writer was not 'Shakespeare' the actor?

"...it is very difficult to change people, since the most inaccessible fortress is surely โ as Marx used to say โ the human skull. "
So true
dom38 I've previously pointed out how we are witnessing recognized truth going through its stages (ridicule, anger, then acceptance as obvious) and the new anger as you and the author detail shows that we've gotten to that second step, the question is how long it will take until these same vehements pretend they were on our side all along.
As re the author's three referenced 'friends', I'm suprised he omitted the quotes on that word, for surely those are NOT real friends, their fecesbook status be damned.

As for the "When" I have no idea.
I try to present good ideas that I think have merit, but I know I could be wrong because I have made mistakes in the past and I'm sure I will make them again. That is what it means to be human to a degree, but that is not what defines "US". What defines homo sapiens is that we have a lot of brain mass but not too much DNA (interestingly). I reckon we must be an experiment - I hope it is a successful one and I doubt the answer to that is forthcoming anytime soon. I'll be long dead before the answer, if there ever is one, is revealed. Still, I ain't no fool and I've got myself plenty of supplies in the event there is a time of shortage. I will most definitely trade what I have with my neighbors and I earnestly hope we get to keep talking on the world wide web, but I know how far the psychopaths are willing to attempt to escalate and they will because they think they have no choice. Most of them at least. You see - in a bizarre way, they have lost part of their brains and they have turned into robots of a sort. Destined to rust away and be left by their lonesome selves. No wonder both Billy Bad Ass and the Amazook big dick just got divorced. Even their wives know they are not human anymore. Well - they will get what they have been giving.

I have no regrets about going there even though had I known at the time how much I would be changed by it all, I might have said "no". But I was just a kid and I went with my family when my Dad's company changed their hometown. Looking back on it, I think I have a special perspective now regarding my home country. I think it was a blessing in a way and for that I'm thankful.

He had a lot of wisdom.
Now, if I met him presently, he would likely say to me - "have some patience", but I would tell him my patience has been exhausted. It may pass, but I'm not gonna sit idle and wait for it to happen because that will just increase the chances of me being dead and that ain't my plan. So also, I think I already posted I was born in 1965 off the coast of Lake Erie. So I'm probably about 7 years younger than you, but what difference does that make. If we share sentiment, then no reason why we can't "work together" - even if it is from a distance. Remember though, the ones you really need to work with our your neighbors - literally.

So please, uh, inform me what the "wives" are you mention, cause I swear I checked, but I couldn't make any sort of connection with it. Maybe, I just missed it, and if so, please inform me what you are referring to. Gender inversion is just imaginary by the way. When you are born, you either have a dick or a vagina in almost 99% of the births I'd guess. Might be higher, probably is, but could be a tad lower, but not much. So, basically you are either born a boy or a girl. Cause boys have dicks and girls have vaginas. This is basic stuff - I learned it in my sex education class. Do you want me to go on?
This too shall pass.

What will the tipping point be when the masses awaken, even slightly, to realize that the numbers in the hospitals with heart conditions, ailments arising from clots, and neurological damage, including mind retardation, resulted from the "vaccine?"

I saw my massage therapist the other day--one of the last of my "friends/acquaintances" who was unvaxxed. She not only does exceptional massage but energy work + works with herbs in tonics and ointments. She's been phenomenal. She wrote a book about how to heal naturally.
Her one and only one-year-old grandbaby had a fast-growing tumor on a kidney, and the kidney had to be removed. When I saw her, she said that she was getting vaxxed. I said, "Oh, no" in disbelief. A woman who championed the natural process of healing. She almost screamed at me--"My grandbaby is very sick. We've all got to do our part or this pandemic will never end." Without being confrontational or emotional, I said, "That's not true." She stalked to and opened her door (we were in her home) with the very clear message to get out.
She does listen only to MSM, and I've heard her views before but simply kept silent because, otherwise, we have so much in common. I was stunned that all her previously held views on immunity, body health, and healing could be supplanted so easily by the mind control exerted by TV. She has practiced natural healing for decades.
I'm not angry nor distraught...simply extremely disappointed in her. I can well understand that she probably cannot access parts of the hospital and other medical facilities without being vaccinated to be with her grandchild, but the fact that she said, in response to my "Oh, no," "I'll cleanse" as if she could "cleanse" mRNA from her body left me so aware of how little she knows about the inoculation.
I was also struck anew by how powerfully effective TV's mind control is.
I do think that a significant portion of the Death Jabs For Cooties are just saline, probably simply to prevent folks from extrapolating causation. The ones that make folks feel like hell, like they have the flu for a day a week a month a lifetime, THOSE are the 'real thing'.

(1) The vaccinated will begin to die in very large numbers, from the autoimmune, inflammatory and blood-clotting effects of the spike protein released into the bloodstream by the vaccines.
(2) Rather than admit their stupid error in trusting Authority and accepting the vaccines, the vaccinated will continue to believe the propaganda and lies of the Authorities.
(3) Rather than admit their guilt, the Authorities will place the blame for the mounting deaths on the unvaccinated.
(4) The rage and hatred of the vaccinated will be inflamed by this propaganda to extreme levels, which will be directed against the unvaccinated.
(5) The Authorities, with the full support of the vaccinated, will begin to round up the unvaccinated and send them to camps, "to protect the public," and those camps will result in mass deaths of the unvaccinated from disease, starvation, and even mass executions, just like the Nazi concentration camps of WWII.
(6) Only when the unvaccinated are ALL, or almost all, dead, and the deaths of the vaccinated from the vaccine side-effects continue to increase exponentially, will the vaccinated come to realize that their hatred of the unvaccinated was misplaced, and that the real culprit is Authority itself, which has lied from the beginning, and has inflicted the vaccine on them with malice aforethought, with an insatiable greed for money and power, and with a callous disregard for human suffering.
This was exactly what happened to the German people under Nazi propaganda - the Jews were the enemy within, and were blamed for all the ills post-WWI and the Versailles Conference in 1919, the hyperinflation, the starvation, the crushing of the German people into the dirt. The end of that road was the extermination of millions of Jews, to the everlasting shame of Germany, but it was too late - the dead cannot be brought back to life, not with any amount of regret and shame.
Anyone planning to resist vaccination to the bitter end and hoping to survive, needs to prepare themselves to hide at home, laying in enough food and household needs so they do not have to shop, and do not need to work, or mingle in society. They also need to plan to survive if and when those stored supplies run out, and to move to an area where anti-vaxxers are in the majority, such as Idaho, Montana, Texas, or Nebraska.

78's and above, thank you. and that's when I was in my early to mid 20'sI I was SO shallow! Now I guess I'm just 'deeper' which means I'd kill to get at one of those rejected sevens.)RC
As I did so, I watched the cliffs there disappear from my sight because the lip of the tube got rapidly in of me. As I would look down the line to the left, I could see the glider port cliffs. The cliffs in front of me disappeared THREE times on one wave! (I was 'in the green room' as it's called.)
I was also lucky because this was when the whole shortboard revolution and thrusters etc. really had taken off (I've never been a long boarder - and though they've become more accepted, we called and still call them 'logs' and it's still a mark of shame to have to surf one) had really stepped up the level of turns and maneuvers one could do. That was why, as 19 year old Florida dawgs, we took over Trestles in the summer of 78! I'll skip the names but literally we were all just amazed and disgusted with how all the California surfers back then would just 'California cruise' on waves - 'After all, there'll be waves tomorrow' - while we, who know what a two month flat spell really is grab that life and wave and shake it!
Within fifteen years, there were THREE surfers in the top 20 in the world who were from C.B. which probably had 9K people then.
Owned it!

one; a few; parties at the homes of then famous surfers in SoCal, etc.) Such also include one where Shawn Thomson came up and introduced himself to me AFTER I had forced him to NOT cut me off (he was #1 in the world then - it was 81) and he was surprised because most Califorians wouldn't fuck people up if they tried to cut them off and I would. We each caught our wave but my look as my left shoulder was touching his right as we both were paddling for MY wave at my local break - Santa Ana River Jetties - and he realized that if he Japped me, HE was going down - etc. And he caught the next one or so and when he got back out to the lineup paddled up and said something like, 'I bet that you're not from here.' (The whole California crusing thing, and he's from S. Africa) Meanwhile, the other locals were mostly Cal. Cruiser slackers who looked on in awe as we sat and jawed and hooted at eachother's waves for that last few hours. I'd say that despite all of his surfing life, he still remembers that.Dude, back then, we Florida Boys Owned it!

What would Jesus do?
In the words of Lao Tzu:
'I would trust the good man and I would trust the bad man. Equally. This I can do, if I am enough of a father, enough of a son.'
Every single one of us must be able to take on the sins of the entire world. Every blemish, every crime and every paradox and utter confusion. If we are to overcome, if we are to find lasting and secure truth., which is our only legitimate goal. What else really matters?
And each of us must do it in our own unique fashion and while respecting the uniqueness (and priority) of other sincere seekers.
Despair unfortunately, is a part of the course.
Cold blooded causal conformity is OUT. It is the way of the psychopath, the control freak, and the liar.
And their victims.
The control freak/psychopath/liar is always looking for more victims...more prey. Feed the greed.
Compassion and understanding; sincere and lasting desire or thirst for truth; is IN.
Despair, again, unfortunately included. It certainly has been for me....
And it is better not to talk than to talk lies.
No matter how much money they give you.
ned,
out!
We've all met those folks and do daily.

Plenty of indiscriminate rubber bullets and bean-bag rounds fired, even into bystanders' vehicles.
Covered on the scene by independent journalist Rukshan [Link] (about 11 hours of footage there)
Apparently some bystander kid was shot off his bicycle by the terrorists - I cannot confirm that just yet though.

You'll never see anything like that from Florida because recording someone without their consent:
a) supposedly, is never admissable in court; and
b) is a felony. (Though pigs get away with it daily.)

I would like you all to watch this 1.5-minute video and give us your comments: [Link]
The last time we saw this in France was in 1942-1943. Then, the victims were Jews.
Will France, someday in the future, express regret and shame at this activity?
If so, I shall say to the French Government, most sincerely: GO FUCK YOURSELVES - AND ALL YOUR GENERATIONS UNTIL ETERNITY. MAY YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ROT IN HELL.
Will they make it illegal to even discuss "what happened in 2021"?
Here it is again: [Link]
At least the SS and the Gestapo had attractive uniforms and were physically fit.
These fat French pigs look like slobs.
And just like on a stage, once we walk off, the character that is acted out is left behind... "... Whatever form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a wish to be a self that you are not. And from that wish a concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of you. For seeing can but represent a wish, because it has no power to create. Yet it can look with love or look with hate, depending only on the simple choice of whether you would join with what you see, or keep yourself apart and separate ..." -ACIM Chapter 31 โ VII. The Savior's Vision T-31.VII.12. [Link]
"... The world can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open mind that truth returns, unhindered and unbound. Where concepts of the self have been laid by is truth revealed exactly as it is. When every concept has been raised to doubt and question, and been recognized as made on no assumptions that would stand the light, then is the truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no statement that the world is more afraid to hear than this :
I do not know the thing I am, and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself.
Yet in this learning is salvation born. And What you are will tell you of Itself." -ACIM Chapter 31 โ V. Self-Concept versus Self [Link]
"The only real wisdom is knowing you know nothing" -Socrates

We are watching the world submit willingly to absolute, cold, calculated evil, in ponerological pursuit of money and power. Should we have excused Pol Pot because he was a human being? Should we have excused Mao, or Stalin, or Lavrenti Beria, or Heinrich Himmler their mass murders, because they were human beings? Being nice to a scorpion, or a leech, or a mosquito, or a stonefish, or a cockroach, is not going to prevent them from taking over your life, infecting you with disease, or poisoning you to death. Should we find a live Ebola virus and inhale it, so it can find a host and reproduce to its little heart's content, killing us horribly in the process? Love and kindness have their limits, and one being's right to existence cannot be sacrificed for the simple pleasure, the excess pleasure, of another predatory and parasitic being.
Your thoughts?
I will look into each link.
Of course I discern kindness from being nice.
Too much of anything is a loss of connection aka unity consciousness.
Off to watch ...
