Know Thyself & Save Thyself
How our society has slowly done itself in with the eager help of a cannibalistic elite class waiting to pick up the scraps - and 6 reasons to turn your back on legacy media forever.
Every conquered society has participated in its own demise. The native people of North America (for example) had long battled amongst themselves and Europeans took advantage of this by trading weapons to one allied group after another. In the end, their willingness to fight amongst themselves increased their vulnerability to the European Conquest. We’re seeing the same tactic of “divide and conquer” in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, France, the list goes on…with the “one slice at a time” method being most popular.
This is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany, as one section of society after another was demonized, publicly shamed, made to be dirty, segregated, cancelled, censored and weakened until society - at large - agreed to stand by and do nothing (or be complicit) as the scapegoated groups (plural) were permanently eliminated.
“Scapegoating refers to a process by which a person or group is unfairly blamed for something that they didn’t do and, as a result, the real source of the problem is either never seen or purposefully ignored.”
The populations of Western Societies did not suddenly begin to hate the unvaccinated in 2021.
The seeds had already been planted, fertilized, watered and grown into nasty, barbed and poisonous weeds, but beginning in 2010, the excessively violent rhetoric bursting forth from the loudspeakers of Globalized Media, funded by the Pharmaceutical Industry (largest drug dealers in human history) and in partnership with Public Health (long responsible for abuses against less empowered segments of society) was breathtaking.
Since 2010, I have viewed my fellow citizens as dangerous. I and my family haven’t harmed a soul, but hating me is necessary, as a distraction from our true enemies. It’s why Haymitch says, as Katniss and Peeta head toward the arena for the second time, “Remember who the real enemy is, Katniss.”
Are the other tributes trying to kill Katniss? Yes! And, are my neighbors teetering on the edge of totalitarianism, whereby they are justifying their willingness to destroy me? Yes, again.
The majority of Americans, where I live, have been tricked into scapegoating the unvaccinated. Through no fault of their own, those who cautiously use vaccine medicine, ask questions and point out concerns and contradictions, have become popularly vilified to the point that our suffering inspires less compassion than is typically expressed toward a pet dog or a chicken in a slaughterhouse.
It didn’t use to be this bad, but it’s been a problem for awhile, and I want to make sure that everyone dismayed by the extreme power grab of the moment understands…this is merely the foul blooming of an evil plant that’s been growing for well over a decade. Please, join me for an illuminating jaunt over the past 25 years of my life.
In 1998, when I was pregnant with my first son, I went looking for a pediatrician. I already had a midwife and doula, but who would provide care for my son or daughter upon birth? The first woman doctor I met essentially fired me on the spot when I explained my concerns about the Hepatitis B vaccine being “recommended” for injection into infants on the day of birth. I had already been tested by my midwife. I was not a carrier. I was not in a risk category. And, the idea that my newborn “needed” to be injected with a manmade lab concoction on the first day of life outside of the womb (after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution) was beyond weird to me.
Having been raised by a medical family where medical issues were discussed frequently and with respect for the complications and diversity of healthcare options available throughout the world, I was shocked into silence by this woman’s brusque manner and derogatory language as she essentially shamed me for daring to question what complete strangers on the other side of the country had decided was best for a woman, a family and a child they’d never met.
Naturally, I never went back. But, it made me aware of exactly what other young mothers (with less confidence in their ability to make medical decisions on their own behalf) were having to deal with, and it left me with questions. Why did this doctor have such a strong opinion? That’s not what medicine is supposed to be about, at all! It was beyond strange…and so I began looking into it.
What most do not know is that pediatricians are financially incentivized to keep families in line with vaccine recommendations. Reward plans are in place to give substantial payouts to pediatricians who attain a high level of vaccine uptake in alignment with the CDC recommended schedule. Many offices become dependent on these monetary payouts (or simply enjoy the added income) so you can see why this young female pediatrician was so hostile toward the idea of adding me (a mother who employs the precautionary principle) to her roster of patients. My desire for medical care that was unique and specific to me and my family was a direct threat to her wallet.
Those were still halcyon days, compared to today. Young mothers casually brought up the topic of vaccination at playdates, in parks, and in conversation with friends and family. As an important parenting decision (along with co-sleeping, breastfeeding, pacifiers, cry-it-out, home birth vs hospital birth, and circumcision), it was a popular topic of conversation and we taught one another. Mother to mother sharing of challenges and questions is sacred, and at that time, you heard every opinion comfortably expressed, allowing us all to make our decisions based upon a broad array of data, opinion, thoughts and concerns. We learned together.
Fast forward to 2010-2013, when two events changed everything.
Gardasil. First, it was tested on roughly 16,000 Indian girls living in state government-run hostels meant for tribal students without properly gaining Informed Consent. Many of these girls suffered adverse events following vaccination - which were generally ignored and discounted. The ensuing lawsuit, by the Indian Government, was fierce but it didn’t prevent the FDA from Fast-Tracking Gardasil into compulsory use. Gardasil was also the first vaccine to enjoy corporate management of its promotional campaign. If you’ve heard of Gardasil, it’s because Merck spent Billions on the Ad Campaign. Then, extremely healthy, happy, beautiful teen girls throughout the Western World, also began to fall ill. Severely ill. Devastatingly ill. Deathly ill. Note: The documentary film, “The Greater Good,” focuses on the harms caused by Gardasil, and it was the movie that the elite on my island sought to censor from public view.
Whooping Cough (caused by the pertussis bacterium) made a comeback along the Pacific Coastal States, with at least 10 babies dying of the illness in 2010. This occurred despite the fact that the USA had the **highest uptake rates of acellular pertussis vaccine** in history. Did the media care to mention this, when it began its 3-year long diatribe against “anti-vaxxers” who were “baby killers” and “responsible” for this deadly scourge of an old disease returning yet again to kill our precious children? No, of course not.
How do I describe those three years? Confusing. Traumatic. Uncomfortable.
And…confusing.
Why do I say confusing twice? Because, the science so completely contradicted the media narrative that I (still clinging with naive hope to the idea that I could trust legacy media) was pummeled over and over by sheer confusion as they got it wrong, again and again. As an outspoken advocate for Informed Consent (I believe all approved vaccines should be made available to all people at no cost and with ZERO coercion, take it or leave it) I began to attract media attention. One after another, each interview taught me a new lesson.
They Will Blatantly Lie: My first “over the phone interview” taught me this, as the journalist quite literally put words I’ve never thought much less uttered into my mouth in her article (for a large Seattle audience) and I had no recourse to prove the deceit.
They Will Slice & Dice You to Fit Their Narrative: I shifted to “video only” interviews, so that I could have some control of what was said, but after spending an hour videotaping me in my home, the BBC still managed to find 9 seconds that (when prefaced by their own thoughts) completely misrepresented me.
They Will Pretend to Respect You: My own local newspaper broke through my rule of not doing phone interviews, as I didn’t believe a fellow islander would lie. I was wrong. In a brief follow-up call about a larger story (related to a Documentary Film that focused on me and another woman on the island), I was asked to make sure they had the basic details correct, like the spelling of my name and my husband’s name, etc. No problem…until I saw the Front Page Article and it stated that my husband and I (names properly spelled out) had chosen to give our sons no vaccines whatsoever. Had Susan Riemer asked me anything at all about their medical records? Nope. In point of fact, as of the date of publication of the story, both of my sons were fully vaccinated for diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella and polio. She completely and intentionally misled the public and lied about my personal medical information. Did I sue the paper? No. I should have. Instead, I demanded a retraction. The following week it showed up on page 23 or 26 or something like that. Obviously, no one saw it.
They Will Target You: When I agreed to be interviewed by National Geographic, they first sent out a photographer. He met with myself and my co-writer of a local column titled “Community Conversations,” where we tried to ameliorate the damage being done by corporate/mainstream media. After talking with us for an hour, he strongly urged us to decline to be interviewed. He was just the photographer, but he told us that the article was a “Hit Piece.” We were, as he put it, raising great points and clearly balanced in our views, and the magazine was looking to portray us as extremists. We took his advice and backed out. (Thank you, dear photographer.)
They Will Teach the People to Hate: The mainstream media’s endless, Pertussis-based “Daily Hate” directed toward any human being who asked any question whatsoever about vaccine medicine (a la Orwell’s 2-Minute Hate in 1984) came to a screeching halt on November 25th, 2013, when JM Warfel published the results of a joint FDA/NIH Baboon Study into the efficacy of the acellular pertussis vaccine. Summary: Baboons vaccinated with aP were protected from severe pertussis-associated symptoms but not from colonization, did not clear the infection faster than naïve animals, and readily transmitted B. pertussis to unvaccinated contacts.
The results were conclusive and have not been challenged. Individuals (like myself and my sons) who are naturally immune do NOT constitute a risk to society, as we do NOT colonize the bacterium upon secondary exposure (we are truly immune). Everyone who is injected with the whole cell or acellular version of the pertussis vaccine DOES constitute a risk to society, as both groups (while enjoying personal benefits and reduced symptoms) colonize the bacterium and readily transmit to contacts.
In other words, we (the naturally immune) were protecting our society, while the haters who virtue signaled via their injected children while calling me and people like me “baby killers” — were the ones most effective at spreading the disease because they didn’t know they were doing so. They were the vaccinated Pertussis Marys of the day.
They Will Never Apologize: After this study was published, the national media went cold stone silent on the topic. I only ever saw the FDA/NIH study mentioned by three media outlets, one of which was Forbes Magazine. Go figure? Every other media outlet (hundreds, if not thousands) who had spent the past 3 years riling society up into a pitchfork carrying mob that routinely called for my children to be taken from me by CPS, threatened to kill me if my unvaccinated child got their vaccinated child sick (yeah, I know, the illogic will make your head spin), and otherwise spit venom and filth all over me on social media platforms…just stopped talking about it. Did the media acknowledge they’d been wrong? Encourage society to come together and celebrate the new scientific data? Point out that the naturally immune were actually a boon to society? Not a peep.
So, I leave you with a question. Now that we better understand how we’ve come to be here, will we do the hard work of turning this ship around … or settle in for the long, miserable slog through the horrors of totalitarianism? If you consider life in Russia, today, it is possible to be so broken that a society never emerges back into the full light of freedom. Are we really going to doom our children to such a fate?
Because this is Ottawa today, February 18, 2022 and this is what totalitarianism becoming looks like…
March, I think you mean "since 2020" in that first bolded paragraph.
Narcissism. In my view, it's what this all boils down to. Everyone has an intrinsic need to be correct, to be seen as an arbiter of truth. Dissent from that opinion means that you could, in theory, be incorrect. This brings the whole house of cards down, upon which a person stands. And since many people directly tie their self esteem to their perceived level of intelligence, it makes life for them intolerable to be wrong.
Of course truth is a very tricky concept to be nailed down.
Subjective truth is the concept everyone seems to understand fairly well. What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is real (to you), no matter what other information comes to light after. We are wired (or possibly conditioned) to accept the first thing that fills the knowledge/information gaps that we have. For many, they rely on their trusty MSM sources to fill those gaps. With those gaps filled, they now go on their merry way repeating that information and have a source to cite as the foundation of their superior thought processes, thereby, feeding their egos. This gives them the superiority that feeds their narcissism.
There are far fewer people who are capable of going beyond this mental trap. This is where you run into objective truth. This is the truth that not only do you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears, but you see and hear it with other people's eyes and ears. Moreover, you identify your own cognitive bias and where that bias interferes with the other points of view offered up from others. This requires a person with a lower level of narcissism, which untethers that person from equating intelligence with their self esteem (or humility in a nutshell). In my humble opinion, these are the enlightened. These are the people who are capable of separating education from intellect or intelligence. All people are fallible; there are only very few who recognize and admit that within themselves and society at large. The less enlightened are never wrong. All who believe the opposite are wrong. This is the state they live in - the absolute binary thinking trap. "Only a Sith believes in absolutes". Who knew Star Wars could be so prescient?
The MSM is all too aware of this. To generate propaganda is to generate revenue, full stop. They are less interested in providing objective information and nuance. This would cause people to actually think for themselves. If people think for themselves, then they will look at a more diverse set of information they give you, the more likely you are to seek out their competitors for further information. This is bad for business. I could be wrong about this part, but this is what it appears to be to me.
I could go on, but this already a novel of a post, so I'll stop here.
