Great collection of videos, thanks. The twins broke me up. Trudeau really believes the Big Lie technique will serve him well. He said the truckers were stealing food from homeless people in Ottawa (apparently Trudeau has no problem living with homelessness in his city), when, actually, they were feeding homeless people. Hey, MSM, up yours!
Today Michael Moore published a substack article consisting of angry letters that he never sent but which expressed his moral outrage at unfair or socially irresponsible behaviors--such as jacking up the rent or housing. The first letter was a denunciation of the truckers:
https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/letterneversent Hey! Get off my fucking bridge! We can’t get out of Detroit with you blocking our exit! Do you have any idea what that feels like? The Ambassador Bridge is a privately-owned bridge by an American billionaire. HE decides when we can come and go! Not you! BTW - I don’t even believe you’re Canadians. I’ve lived near the Canadian border my whole life. Here’s one thing I’ve never seen Canadians do — hold crazy protests with Trump flags! Disrupt people’s lives for weeks! Sorry, it’s not their way. They might club you with a hockey stick or beat you at curling or put too much vinegar on your french fries, but they don’t do civil disobedience with big-ass semi-trucks! So you Trumpsters posing as Canadians — get back here to the US so we can whoop you in November!
He got some enthusiastic comments piling on, calling the Truckers "Trumpy truckers" I guess I have been living in a bubble. Here is another comment claiming that the truckers are all paid protestors and defending vaccines as the source of freedom:
These overseer's are bought and paid to protest, brought to you by social media. You know, where Thinking is a dirty word. It works like hand and glove with corporate media. Don't think just react and press Send, you will be rewarded for it immediately with a corporate emoji!
Did these protestors, ever get a child ready to go to school? If so, they would know that immunizations to Measles,Mumps etc. are required to attend public schools in the USA. That way the kids in the classrooms have the freedom to live.
I do not think these people are insane or stupid or sheep or even malicious. I am a sociology major. One of my teachers analyzed results of a jury trial with transcripts. It turned out that jury members used exactly the same evidence to conclude the defendant was guilty or not guilty. It depended on predetermined beliefs. If you believe strongly that vaccines prevent infection, then you believe you can't live without them and they give you the ability to be free to live and enjoy your life. It is almost inconceivable to such a persona that any protestor could have a legitimate concern with coercion, uninformed consent, threats to health, second class citizenship, etc. If there are no adverse events--then we should all perform our civic duty and get vaccinated--just like we should all obey traffic laws. But I'm truly astounded that Michael Moore is so angry. I used to get triggered by such responses. I still do when they advise vaccinating babies with no proper risk assessment. However, Michael's anger really astounded me. What do you make of it? I think censorship has kept everyone from realizing the truth. Those false Confederate flags really were effective propaganda since people have been primed to think of anti vaxxers as Trump supporters.
The Michael Moore who made “Roger and Me” would be there on the bridge documenting this people’s revolution and cheering them on the whole time.
That Michael Moore has been MIA ever since he developed Trump Derangement Syndrome, likely longer, and his cognitive biases have made him a prime candidate for mass formation. Subsequently, he has proudly taken up the mantle of Julius Streicher. It’s quite pitiful, really.
“I guess I have been living in a bubble.” > No, Moore and his followers have been. Reality is on the ground in the millions around the world.
Thanks so much for this comment. You helped me to understand how Michael could have so badly misunderstood or failed to comprehend the significance of this demonstration. I do believe that censorship also makes this lack of comprehension possible or exacerbates it when it exists.
At the point of the misunderstanding we can lose our capacity to dialog with each other and feel abused by the opinions/beliefs expressed by the other side. I have heard people pro and anti vax both extremely upset and angry by the inability to get the other side to understand and follow their beliefs. It's so important, because each side experiences injury occurring (or thought to be occurring) which adds the sense of urgency. Why can't those idiots understand!
But I have been living in a bubble. I mostly follow scientists on YouTube. Some explore the medical dangers of adverse events, mRNA toxicity, political corruption, etc. Others explore the evidence that boosters work, that older people need protection from Covid, that children can also benefit from vaccines. They usually are in their own bubbles because the anti vax scientists are denounced and deplatformed.
It seems to me that there is more information from the "anti vax" science because the other scientists don't seem to provide a lot of scientific evidence justifying their position but generally focus on the dangers of not following it.
Yet these comments from Michael's substack really shocked me. I had no idea that people think the Trucker protest is being run by Trump supporters from the U.S. I had no idea of the outrage against Trump (probably because half my friends are Trump supporters).
“The recipe is simple. Take a naturally occurring phenomenon, say a seasonal virus, and exaggerate its threat far beyond every imagining—despite exhaustive evidence to the contrary. Suppress, silence, ostracize, and demonize every individual who dares present facts that expose the false mono-narrative.
“Whip up a witches’ brew of anger, envy, and, most importantly, fear, escalating emotions to a boil so as to short-circuit our faculties of reason and logic.
“Isolate us from one another, supplant real-world interactions with virtual feuds, label nonconformists as a threat to the group, and pump the public with a disinformation campaign designed to confuse and atomize. In essence, foster a cultlike mentality that shuts down thought to guarantee assent.
“Cultivate and wield our cognitive biases—especially ingroup bias, conformity bias, and authority bias—against us in a comprehensive divide-and-conquer policy that keeps us too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to recognize and unite against those corralling us into a Matrix-like collective delusion that enables the powerful to extract our resources for their own gain.
“This ideological mass psychosis is religion—not science. If this were about science, the Media–Pharmaceutical–Big-Tech complex would not be memory-holing every dissenting voice, vilifying every thought criminal, and censoring every legitimate inquiry in quest of the truth.”
“An unwitting Goldstein, Trump played right into BigPharma’s strategy to discredit hydroxychloroquine by praising it—giving Trump Derangement Syndrome (a psychological disorder manufactured by and spread to tremendous monetary benefit and turnkey mass control by the media) sufferers the best and only reason they needed to dismiss it. They have been trained to plug their ears, cover their eyes, scream at the top of their lungs, and stamp their feet the instant any one of the Deplorables opens his mouth. One of the most effective instruments in the plutocracy’s toolkit, TDS has been brandished to misdirect the public for years, and it continues to work its magic despite Trump’s declining relevance, the embers of which the media will continue to fan as long as it pays dividends—just as Goldstein’s detested image is deployed in culturally unifying activities such as Two Minutes Hate.”
IMO, his immense fear of Covid is projected though his microphone. IMO, the louder and angrier the voice, the more intense the fear. I'm from Traverse City and have long since deleted his State Theater newsletters. Hopes this helps your understanding.
Thanks for posting this Mark. The videos are educational especially the one from the woman crossing the border. I'm dumbfounded by the "authorities" that continually ask her to put on a mask EVEN though she is in a car by herself!!! This is absolutely insane.

Thanks, Diana, glad it helped.
Most of my essays explore how this transformation occurred, starting with my first “A Primer for the Propagandized: Fear Is the Mind-Killer” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-primer-for-the-propagandized), where I write:
“The recipe is simple. Take a naturally occurring phenomenon, say a seasonal virus, and exaggerate its threat far beyond every imagining—despite exhaustive evidence to the contrary. Suppress, silence, ostracize, and demonize every individual who dares present facts that expose the false mono-narrative.

My “Letter to a Scientifically-Minded Friend” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-scientifically-minded) touches specifically on TDS:
“An unwitting Goldstein, Trump played right into BigPharma’s strategy to discredit hydroxychloroquine by praising it—giving Trump Derangement Syndrome (a psychological disorder manufactured by and spread to tremendous monetary benefit and turnkey mass control by the media) sufferers the best and only reason they needed to dismiss it.

I'm praying my heart out for these guys. It's so nice to see men be men and stand up to these soy boy tyrants.
Thank you for showing the girl crossing the border. Examples help a lot.
“If there are any videos by cops who see the truckers as Trudeau does, I would like to see them.”
Unfortunately, there are some Brownshirts out there happy to do Der Trudeau’s bidding:

Oh, certainly. I meant such videos BY cops, not OF cops.
