Wow. I must get out more, had I known, I'd have tried to make the trek to attend. For some reason your post about this isn't appearing on the mobile app, unless it's me.
And yes, it is actually ridiculous that I can buy pack of fags but need a "prescription" to get some vapes. Not that I smoke, but now I almost feel like taking it up. I mean, WTF . Why not chocolate or alcohol or monster while we're at it.
He was in your neck of the woods, by the looks of it.
And yes, while I don't advocate smoking (see my post on centenarians today!!!!) it is beyond ridiculous that our grubberment restricts access to vapes but you can buy all the booze and fags you want (not to mention, take your 23rd booster).
D grade ( being very generous) vs A grade. This is how you do it publicly, humiliate the dills, poke fun at them, turn the questions back on them, make jokes, very simple. Robyn, I'm missing your chats with Mitch.😃
Can you imagine any real parent of a young child behaving like Robbie Parker the day after the tragic death of their six year-old? Directly from CNN - notice that even the commenters on this mainstream YouTube video do not believe him - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4rwdriJpkc
It's well worth your while to grit your teeth and push through the nonsense, just to watch Tucker destroy them.
I have no doubt that many of the mass shootings are inside jobs in some way, shape or form, whether they're Manchurian candidates, CIA operatives gone rogue, or whatever.
We need a complete take down of our false two party government! Our country is beyond reform in my opinion. We need a revolution to eradicated the evil corporate-government relationships that now control the USA.
The SCOTUS ruling on 1A this week should be at the center of every news story but I would guess that only 10% or less of Americans even know or care. Ultimately we need more people awake and paying attention if the beacon of freedom that is the United States is going to survive!
It's hard for me to see how the US gets out of its current predicament without revolution, not that I'm enthusiastic about the idea of one, because they always involve bloodshed. Between the Missouri v Biden case being tossed out of SCOTUS on the ridiculous grounds of 'lack of standing' (which BTW has been used by our High Court to dismiss several COVID jab cases) and the pathetic spectacle of a demented old criminal free-associating his way through the debate with Trump, the US has ceased to even vaguely resemble the nation that the Founding Fathers envisaged.
Perhaps you should have paid more attention to "conspiracy theories" specifically "Q" focused and you would be less pessimistic. "Devolution" explains much.
Independents now are the key to POTUS but not enough of them may be enobled enough to lend full support. It's why the entrenched duopoly and their corporations win no matter who runs.
I would like to see an independent candidate take the presidency but your corrupt slimebag media block the public from even knowing an independent is running - just look at what they're doing to RFK Jr.
Well, thanks in part to Paul Sakkal's effort here, and Tucker's great takedown "You're like the last man on Okinawa who thinks WW2 is still going!" - I've just cancelled by Fairfax subscription.
Far too many good people here on substack to support.
Love it!! My motto is 'Don't fund your enemies' - don't shop with them, bank with them, watch their movies and 'programs' (interesting word, that), listen to their music, wear their clothes... I realise it's not possible to do this 100%, but every purchasing decision constitutes a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.
I don't think individual journalists can cover everything though. Significant financial backing is required for some investigations. But we don't seem to have any recent examples where this has been achieved (hope I'm wrong) - if even Glenn Greenwald's The Intercept succombed to group think....
Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger are doing amazing investigative work on the Twitter Files, entirely supported by their Substack subscribers (AFAIK). I did hear Matt say recently that some investigative journalism takes years before delivering a real story, and he's not sure that independent journalists would be able to do that. On the other hand though, are there any legacy media organisations that are still conducting genuine investigative journalism?
Nick McKenzie at The Age seems impressive, but I have not looked closely at his work.
Matt Taibbi - that makes a lot of sense that some investigative journalism takes years before delivering a real story. I read some of his work quite some years ago but haven't followed him recently. But since watching the above, I was interested in watching Tucker Carlson's interview of him. And also subscribed to the free version of Taibbi's substack.
I heard Michael Shellenberger on Andrew Sullivan's podcast. This lead me to buy San Fransicko - How Progressives Ruin Cities. But I only got about 1/2 to 2/3 way through, but I can't remember why unfortunately. Why I quit reading it that is.
They saved the best for last, bringing to mind a quote from Nineteen Eighty-Four:
"It was always the women and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and noser-outs of unorthodoxy".
And from el gato malo's substack yesterday:
"Scientific fact: a dog gets more factual information from sniffing another dog's butt than a human does from watching mainstream media".
I remember Eugyppius' post very well; it was one of his best. However, while I can see an evolutionary overlap between the sort of women Orwell had in mind and Eugyppius' 'Head Girls', it wasn't until the end of his post where he noted the shift from their idea of agreeable, consensus-based conformity to one where the Head Girls eventually wield power to enforce conformity that I felt he could have provided the reader with more elaboration about the underlying causes behind the shift, even if it came as no surprise. Could it have been related back to women's historical role as agents of social control in a more religious era, in which moral shaming and moral enforcement were the stock-in-trade tools of the female moral entrepreneur from the middle and upper-middle classes for example?
In Orwell's time when Head Girls didn't have anywhere near the numbers or organisational power they have today, Orwell went straight to the heart of the matter by identifying the modus operandi of over-zealous women trying to get ahead or even just noticed in authoritarian political movements or parties predominantly run by men.
I guess you could sum up the current power shift as a move away from Orwell's Big Brother to the Head Girls' Big Sister; or, more accurately, Big Globalist Puppet Sister, the embodiment of which can be seen in our eSafety Commissar and former disgruntled Twatter employee Julie Inman Grant, who's having a hard time at the moment keeping her fig leaf in place. Not to worry, though, she's apparently got her army of amateur spies and noser-outs of unorthodoxy scouring the internet to identify those miscreants who have the temerity to ridicule her.
In attempting to 'expose' Tucker Carlson, Kat Wong, who apparently resigned in the wake of the interview, was just acting like any other noser-out-of-unorthodoxy archetype from Orwell's time, but one who's no doubt driven by a zealous, contemporary desire to get a leg-up into the Head-Girl aristocracy, because she's a midwit for sure, just like Inman Grant, as far as I can make out.

Me neither Robyn. It made me cringe at the level of 'questions' these so-called journalists asked. Wonder if the 'vax' has already diminished an already low IQ, certainly cognitive capacity was lacking.
You've raised an interesting point that I ponder very often: were people ALWAYS this stupid before, but I just didn't notice; or have they become more stupid since the scamdemic?
I think the word that applies here is manifest. People aren’t more stupid, just that things like Trump and the scamdemic have manifested the stupidity. I still see people wearing masks in their cars, alone. And if you’re looking to government to fix things, well, do I need to say it?
I have noticed a decline the past 10-20 yrs, in cognitive capacity, ability to critically think, to problem solve - change in education and technology. Google, group think.
Definitely seen a decline in past 4 yrs of people's ability to respond in the moment, driving etc.
That fits well with my observations. The loss of basic mathematical abilities is very striking. I've noticed a vastly diminished vocabulary too - many people seem not to be familiar with words (basic vocabulary words, not jargon) that used to be commonly used. Appalling ignorance of even quite recent history, let alone events of the more distant past. And definitely, decline in critical thinking capacity.
Mark Crispin Miller's bone-chilling 'Died Suddenly' email compilations provide ample examples of vaxxidents in the post-COVID shot era.
Agree Robyn, loss of basic mathematical abilities and vastly diminished vocabulary. The lack of knowledge of history, its impact on societal cohesion is very concerning. Erase the past, dumbing down and creating meritocracy has occurred in Western nations in particular. I have not see "Died Suddenly" but I must. The next 6mths will be very telling and the next 2 yrs navigating the astrological shifts. Be like the bamboo, shift with the wind, but ground your feet.
Mark Crispin Miller has been extensively cataloguing the deaths and mysterious illnesses on his substack: https://markcrispinmiller.substack.com/. The Died Suddenly doco is a bit sensationalistic and veers away from established facts a bit too much for my liking.

Mitch has decided to wind up the poddie so he can focus on the FOI project, but we are doing a last show together soon.
I'm still keen to assist.😃
You bet.
Couldn't get past the "tens of millions". Too embarrassing.
Ironically, mass shootings are all staged ... and they let us know as they always do Revelation-of-the-Method style. https://soundofheart.org/galacticfreepress/content/revelation-method-predictive-programming-and-prime-directive

I love the man. Strong, balanced, articulate and funny! It would be just fine to start each day listening to Tucker v the press.
I would love that too but it might be bad for Tucker's blood pressure 🤣 .
Maybe he should runfor POTUS
He would get a lot of votes if he ever stood! But he would have a hard time getting the Republican nomination, given how much he trash-talks them :).

Wasn't she just the exemplar of the Head Girl? Eugyppius has written about her subspecies in his typically brilliant fashion: https://www.eugyppius.com/p/once-more-on-renowned-fool-emily

The movie "Idiocracy" really is a documentary.
I watched it for the first time during the scamdemic, and reached that conclusion.
