Ok. Another thorough and informational piece from MCM. My mind isn’t big enough for all this information. One big question came to mind: Does the CIA run Pfizer or does Pfizer run the CIA, or are they unrelated? We need a new government. Throw out the current criminals. Are there any good people? Oh my…

As long as government wields great power, it will always be corrupt. We need to pare the government way down, so it's collecting and spending very little money. Then there will be much less of a return to buying a politician off.

This was a masterclass, of course, in the business of propaganda. I'm not qualified to do anything but agree, except in one area: I no longer believe that those whom we suspect of having succumbed to the present propaganda onslaught are what we might call 'unknowing dupes'. Although 'we the people' are usually charmingly stupid and frequently dumbed-down, I say that they/we are smart enough from all the pre-conditioning we've had from the movies etc., to see through it all, and fully capable of some quite sophisticated double-think. I think we ALL know now; it is just that we've taken our respective sides. The data may be faulty, the conclusions we've each drawn based on our ability to long-sight ultimate elite objectives may individually be off-the-mark, but by and large, we ***ALL*** know where we're going with all this. This is a war now with ZERO innocents.

Thanks for the blip! This was my first stab at Substack; I only joined yesterday. Although I stand by my claim, when I re-read it this morning, I'm no longer so sure it is that novel over that which you have already said here.

Anyway,

Pre-emptive Baboon Boosters and other Canards

I was wondering, given the precariousness of our situation, how about a little thought experiment. What might a real propaganda expert do if, say, conscripted into our 'defence forces': inflatable tanks, shifting the Suez Canal, contriving Tonkin Gulfs, radio Spam, spinning Man on the Moon etc. What memes or series of memes might be constructed and injected into the enemy broadcast bloodstream, and how?

I wrote this essay to ask our leaders to lift the vax mandate to attend higher ed in WA state. I shared it with a local newspaper and the editor asked me to write a 500 word summary, which I did and it will be read by at least 10,000 people potentially. Some days we get to throw a spear at the elephant. https://turningpointnews.org/corona-virus-reports/why-we-should-end-the-vaccine-mandate-to-enter-college

That was absolutely riveting, thank you, Mark.

You are lucky your family are rational. My husband and brother are covidians, and, even after I was red-pilled myself in time to warn my daughters, they went ahead and got 'vaccinated', which is heart-breaking, especially as one has a little boy. I'm forbidden to talk about it to them now, as it's 'not good for their mental health', apparently. They take the view that if what I'm telling them is true there's nothing they can do about it and they have to deal with the problems of the day.

My MP is either a clown or complicit (probably both). I have sent him the Seneff et al paper demonstrating how the vaxxes destroy the immune system, and another on acute coronary risk, and he replies telling me they're safe and effective, and that the Online Safety Bill (the subject of my correspondence) is needed to stop adults (adults!) being 'harmed' by covid misinformation and Russian disinformation.

There are very rare moments of relief, such as this week when I had a painter in and, although he can't spell to save his life, he is vaxx 'hesitant' and so are his mates. But they are completely without information, so I gave him a spare copy of CJ Hopkins' excellent 'The Rise of the New Normal Reich' (I've ordered more) and he was delighted and agreed to pass it round his friends, as I requested. But mostly it's like living in an asylum, with a rare word out of the window to a sane person.

Good interview Mark, your Lyme disease experience was endearing. My own catastrophic experience with it certainly enlightened me as to the medical world's limits of critical thinking and the doctor's frankly incurious and lazy practices.

Bankrupted, homeless and chronically ill, i was regarded as a "malingerer."

Your best talk on the subject, Mark. I have found that people in the academy who majored in Literature, who took critical reading seriously, and who did not fall for the theory craze (except when it was interesting) have retained their ability to apply critical thinking skills to reality as well as fiction. James Corbett, Naomi Wolf, you (and I too) are English Lit people, with a fondness for Shakespeare. I'm sure there are more examples. With experience unpacking a poem, we understand rhetoric and implied meaning. We've been interested in aesthetics, and strangely enough, this has prepared us for the challenges we are living through. I've been thinking lately about how the academy has been made to believe impossible things for many decades, as a preparation for the kinds impossible things that people are accepting now, for instance, visual arts critics got people to say, in all sincerity, that literal garbage could be interpreted as art. That was preposterous, but harmless, so we thought. The "expert" in now a comical figure who believes 2+2=5, garbage is art. -Tori Alexander

Friends, #MarkCrispinMiller speaks eloquently about a subject a clearer understanding of which should be priority for all of us. PROPAGANDA! It’s one I’ve written about at length & in which I have an abiding interest. But no matter how much we think we are attuned to it, we’re all susceptible to its pernicious effects! And as you will realise when you hear MCM speak, there’s always something new to learn.

The public information milieu currently is awash with propaganda—indeed it is the real virus—so much so that it has been transformed it into a toxic wasteland. This has been compounded immeasurably by the draconian censorship regimes being increasingly imposed upon us. A most illuminating overview of where we are at in these not so enlightened days! Please share this widely. Greg Maybury.

Prof Miller,

Astounding. Just phenomenal. I'd heard most of what you'd talked about... The Q&A just started and it's great to see students drive the conversation. Would love to see you do an AMA here perhaps.

Pike Report is on Scribd...as are tons of things including all of the boxes from the 9/11 commission

Highly recommended. Gives you slideshare and Pandora as well.

Really excellent talk. What a time of madness! It's wonderful that you're cutting through it.

High School. Higher Education is lost.

I make a valuable apropos observation here.

Here we have an expert fellow pouring out his very best about media misinformation, media disinformation and all things statist in-between, and you're all over the place praising and fawning him as if he were your granddad and Jesus rolled into one.

Yet the minute another 'controversial' state-promulgated issue crops up (namely flat earth) you react as hysterically and as indignantly as if ...

The guy's obviously wasting his time. He doesn't want us to now think differently about viruses, he wants us to think now differently about everything. Too much to expect, tight?

Great interview! I like how the tone of your voice is softer in this interview, perhaps because you were talking to younger people. It's so important that people understand propaganda is happening in this country.

My own experience, as a professor and a parent, has been the opposite: that younger people, or a significant segment thereof, are LESS gullible than their elders, in part because they feel no reverence toward the Times et al., and in part because their familiarity with cyberspace has made them relatively open to the other side(s) of the story.

Definitely an outlier.

There's also a huge gullibility among those who follow conspiracies.

For example, flat earth has a huge following despite the "proof" being as broken as virology.

We got people claiming the vaccines have parasites etc.... But without honest verification.

And there's a lot that believe that this was an engineered virus, despite what the stats pointed to:

In most nations in 2020

-total deaths in line with past years

-average age of cv death is around life expectancy

(What deadly virus? Anyway if they engineered something you think it would be super deadly and they wouldn't have needed to set up this medical system to do the maiming?)

But gullibility pervades and psy pps work to distract, confuse and overwhelm even those who are seeking truth.

I don't believe Flat Earthers exist. You can't prove they do; they could all be bots.

The engineering work wasn't to make the virus super deadly (coronaviruses are generally speaking, a cold) it was to make it more transmissible, and to extend the time from exposure, to the onset of symptoms, and therefore aiding in its propagation.

BioWeapons labs are a real thing. BioWeapons programs exist, and they're both extremely well financed, and for specific reasons.

The plan being followed is the Rockefeller Foundation's LOCKSTEP scenario. The goal is initially to create greater societal and propaganda controls. Depopulation efforts become easier, after that's been achieved. As we've seen, people will agree to take the lethal injections, voluntarily, given adequate amounts of mass formation psychosis, fear and coercion.

It should be noted that the BioWeaponized virus seems less lethal than the iatrogenic means of killing people, like refusing people access to to safe, effective early treatments - and enforcement of lethal options like Remdesivir and ventilators. It may be that poorer countries with less developed health systems had less deaths, as result.

One of the largest sources of deaths for Americans is car accidents. The lockdowns and societal restrictions greatly reduced travel and therefore auto accident deaths. So while it's true that there was no statistically significant INCREASE in all cause mortality during the first phase of the Plandemic ( https://web.archive.org/web/20201126163323/https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19 ) - there actually should have been a significant DROP.

That there wasn't one, speaks to something real occuring, related to the release of the BioWeaponized virus.

And it did likely kill those who were vulnerable already, as studies have shown. Which isn't to say that gunshot victims (etc.) listed as Covid deaths should be regarded without skepticism - but rather, as an indication that the folks behind this didn't want to release an actual plague, that might be likely to kill them, as well. They wanted a contagion of fear. And the virus worked for that.

Rob, thank you for this. It is indeed a perfect example of distractive 'pervasive gullibility'.

You present flat earth as having broken (i.e. no) "proof". If I assure you that the earth nowhere measures other than as flat; that there actually is no curvature, what say you to those 'confused and overwhelmed' in their 'truth-seeking'?

Round earth worked for sailors and engineers long before post modernism. I'm inclined to believe they were on to something.

No one is disputing what works, pre- or post-modernism, or what you should or shouldn't believe, I'm simply informing notwithstanding that the Earth nowhere measures other than flat; there is simply no measurable curvature.

Expand full comment

How are they measuring it?

There was a group of fe that were going to prove the earth was flat by using a laser over a lake of a few miles long.

The targets didn't line up at the same elevation over the water (water evenly covers an area). Instead of saying, hey hmm this data doesn't match our beliefs, they introduced more complexity by saying that gravity curved the light.

That's funny and reminds me of how virology is so sure of viruses causing disease that they ignore or explain away other factors that don't fit their belief.

I'm sorry but so far the least complicated explanation for many things is that the earth is a sphere. A flat earth requires a lot more tech, like how is it daylight in new York while it's dark in Japan? Also time zones like up with the sphere explanation and so on. Don't get me started on the ice wall and how would gravity be even on a flat earth (unless it's thought that the flat earth is like an ant farm on the desk of some higher being, in that case, are they also on a flat earth? Hehe)

even if it was tech done by man and not gods etc, you think we had all this tech to set up the sun and moon in the sky before the last century?

As baker charlie said, the spherical earth model has worked for circumnavigation and explaining why the seasons change etc

Tik Tok is Chinese owned. As it has been one of the drivers of woke theology, I cannot propose to ban it, as I am 100% free speech, but its donors, sponsors and other beneficers should be made well-known.
