Media and LAPD Pretend Knife Justifies Murder. Takar Smith was Holding a Childs Bike when Provocative Cops Repeatedly Tased Him, Then Shot Black Man to Death While He Was on His Knees, Posed No Threat

From [HERE] The family of a Black father who was shot and killed during an encounter with Los Angeles Police officers is demanding justice and accountability for his death.

Takar Smith, 46, a father of six, was one of three people who were killed during separate encounters with officers within the first week of 2023.

After Takar was fatally shot during what his family says was a mental health crisis, they’re now planning to file a lawsuit against the LAPD.

Authorities say they’re conducting a full investigation into the shooting which could take weeks even though the entire incident was captured on video.

Raischard and his family held a press conference outside LAPD headquarters on Friday to remember Takar.

“It seems like we called on the wrong people for help,” said Raischard. ‘We can’t keep calling the law out here to kill us like this.”

Full bodycam footage of the shooting was released by LAPD Chief Michael Moore on Wednesday.

In the video, officers respond to an apartment on the 200 block of South Witmer Street in Westlake on Jan. 2.

Takar’s wife, Shameka, tells officers Takar was violating a restraining order by entering her apartment and allegedly refusing to leave. She also told police he was experiencing a mental health crisis. The media and police claim “he had access to a knife inside her home.” However, on video the police asks Shameka if she had been threatened with a knife. She responds no. She explains that there are knives in her kitchen. She says, “regular kitchen knives” - just like any kitchen has.

On the video the knife looks like a butter knife.

Shameka said she told police her husband should be admitted into a mental health facility.

“I wanted the police to help me and they failed, they really failed me,” said Shameka. 

Bodycam footage shows officers speaking to Takar inside Shameka’s apartment while attempting to coax him outside.

Takar eventually heads to the kitchen where he grabs a butter knife during the encounter after the police draw their guns on him. He then puts the knife in the sink. At the time he was standing about 15 feet away and two children’s bicycles are on the floor are in between him and the cop. Takar apparently knocked the bikes on the ground to barricade or impede the officer’s ability to get to him. The cop continues to point his gun at the black man while talking to him. Takar had a plastic cup of water in his left hand. Another cop appears and tells him he’s acting childish and begins to escalate the situation. The cops then begin moving in towards him by moving the bikes on the floor.

When Takar picks up a children’s bike the cops panic and started to immediately tase him. Takar drops the bike and cops continue to Tase him. Nevertheless, Takar seemed unaffected and he turns to the counter and picks up his cup water with his right hand. The cop’s yell “2nd taser” and begin tasing him again.

As they begin tasing again Takar grabs a knife or small unknown object on the counter. The police got scared, yelling knife, knife, knife. The cops continuing tasing him over and over and he falls back into a cabinet and down to the floor. With his back turned to the cops, an officer says “keep it going” as they continue to tase him and move closer,

Takar never took a step forward or brandished the small “knife” at police. The entire time he has a cup of water in his left hand.

While Takar is on his knees and immobilized, he grabs the knife again and attempts to lift it above his head. That’s when officers fire multiple shots at Takar, killing him. He never posed a serious threat of harm or death to the cops. Cops wanted to kill him and they did.

LAPD Chief Michael Moore expressed concerns that neither the officers nor police dispatch contacted mental evaluation units for help while being aware of a possible mental health issue.

“Why did they not contact that team in this particular incident?” asked Eric Valenzuela, the family’s lawyer. “This individual was shot on his knees. He was not advancing towards them.”

Did Another Prosecutor Undermine Their Own Grand Jury to Uphold Cop Murder? Charges Dropped Against Tucson Cop who Shot a White Man in the Back 9X as He Fled in a Wheelchair

From [HERE] A second grand jury in Pima County, Arizona, has decided not to recommend charges of manslaughter against a former Tucson cop who shot a wheelchair-bound suspect nine times in a mall parking lot, killing him. 

Ryan Remington, 32, shot Richard Lee Richards, 61, in the parking lot of a mall in the city while off duty. Richards pulled a knife on a Walmart employee as he was leaving the store with a stolen tool box on November 30, 2021.

Richards was headed to a Lowe's across the parking lot when Remington, who was working security for Walmart at the time, ordered Richards to drop the knife and not to enter another store. 

The suspect ignored the officer before Remington opened fire, causing Richards to fall out of his scooter and die. 

The Pima County Superior Court jury on Wednesday came back with a no bill vote on charging Remington. Despite the grand jury's decision, the state could still opt to bring charges. 

Police bodycam video shows the officer pursuing the suspect and yelling, “Do not go into the store, sir,” as Richards continued to the entrance of a Lowe’s Home Improvement store. The officer fired nine shots and hit the man in the back and side causing Mr. Richards to hunch over and fall in front of a display of pink and red flowers.

A store surveillance video shows Officer Remington placing handcuffs on a motionless Mr. Richards.

Defense attorneys alleged state prosecutors presented misleading statements to the first grand jury. Pima County Superior Court Judge Danelle Liwski agreed but believed they did not do it deliberately. 

Liwski last month granted the defense request to remand the case to a grand jury again.  

In a statement, Pima County Attorney Laura Conover said 'victim notification is our focus and top priority at this time, as the matter continues under our review.'

Remington was fired in January 2022 for what police determined was excessive use of force.

A civil rights lawsuit filed by Richards’ family against Remington and the City of Tucson remains tied up in federal court. 

During the theft, Richards allegedly flashed a knife at the store employee who asked for a receipt for the product.

'Here's your receipt,' Richard reportedly told the clerk, showing the weapon. He apparently flashed the weapon and put it away.

'He's got a knife in his other hand,' someone can be heard on the bodycam video as Richards wheels up to the entrance of the big box store.

Seconds later Remington can be seen unloading his weapon on the shoplifter.

Cops Only Need “Possible Cause” to Use Force on Blacks in Racist System: LAPD Smother and Tase Black Teacher to Death as He Begged for Life. Stopped for “Possible DUI Driver” While Walking in Street

FROM [HERE] The Los Angeles Police Department is facing tough questions about the death of a Washington, D.C. charter school teacher.

Body camera footage shows officers repeatedly used a stun gun to restrain 31-year-old Keenan Anderson.

“Keenan, he had an immediate impact on our school community. He had amazing relationships with our scholars. They consistently commented on how he made them feel known, loved and respected.” Mashea Ashton, the Digital Pioneers Academy CEO, said.

That is how Ashton believes Anderson should be remembered, saying she hired him about six months ago as a 10th-grade English teacher at Digital Pioneers Academy in Southeast Washington, D.C.

“He was a father, an educator, a professional. He was a human,” Ashton said.

THE BLACK ELECTORANT BELIEVES COMPULSORY PUBLIC SERVICE PROVIDED BY AUTHORITIES IN WHITE LIBERAL CITIES, LIKE LA, IS WORTH DYING FOR.

The co-founder of Black Lives Matter shared on Instagram that Anderson was her cousin as Los Angeles police released body camera footage this week from the day he died while visiting family in California.

The Jan. 3 interaction with the Los Angeles Police Department began after Anderson was allegedly involved in a traffic collision.

The first officer on the scene called him a “possible DUI driver” and asked for backup, but things escalated quickly.

The video shows Anderson appearing to run from police. He was then ordered to the ground and a struggle ensued as additional officers arrived on the scene.

At one point, Anderson can be heard saying, “They’re trying to George Floyd me.”

He was taken to the hospital, but the Los Angeles Police Department said Anderson suffered a medical emergency and died about four hours later.

CAN THERE BE PROBABLE CAUSE FOR A DRUNK DRiVING ARREST IF THERE IS NO DRIVING AND NO VEHICLE PRESENT? FUNKTIONARY ANSWERS: PROLLY IF YOU’RE BLACK. IN THE SYSTEM OF RWS BLACKS ARE ARRESTED based ON THE POSSIBLE CAUSE STANDARD - ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, ANY REASON IS SUFFICIENT FOR COPS TO USE FORCE (means ENSLAVE) ON BLACKS.

ALTHOUGH THE SUPREME COURT HAS NEVER QUANTIFIED PROBABLE CAUSE TO JUSTIFY AN ARREST OR SEARCH LEGAL SCHOLARS EXPLAIN THAT IT TURNS ON ASSESSMENT OF PROBABILITIES IN PARTICULAR FACTUAL CONTEXTS AND INVOLVES LESS THAN A 50% likelihood of accuracy. PERHAPS “NON-WHITENESS” is PART OF SAID FACTUAL CONTEXT ANALYSIS WHEN POLICE USE THEIR UNCONTROLLABLE DISCRETIONARY POWER TO STOP, SEARCH, DETAIN, ARREST AND/OR KILL BLACKS? OR PERHAPS LEGAL TRUTHS HAVE LITTLE TO DO WITH REALITY. THE UNDECEIVER JEREMY LOCKE POINTS OUT THAT “SLAVERY IS NOT A CONCEPT OF TOTALITY . . . THE ULTIMATE SLAVERY IS MURDER . . .SLAVERY IS FOUND BOTH IN THE PARTIAL AND COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF FREEDOM.” THE USE OF UNPROVOKED FORCE AGAINST ANOTHER PERSON IS AN ATTEMPT TO DOMINATE OR CONTROL THEM AND IS A FORM OF SLAVERY.

In real life, Brazen cops so frequently abuse their power that no Black shopper, pedestrian, motorist, juvenile, adult or Black professional of any kind—could make a compelling argument that so-called constitutional rights provide Black people any real protection from cops or from the government in general.

The only thing upholding the 4th Amendment is your belief in it. You only have rights if an authority says that you do. Your possession of "rights” given to you by a magical government, which functions as your master, is cult belief. Rights are myths. As stated by Dr. Blynd, “There is no freedom in the presence of so-called authority.” The belief in “authority,” which includes all belief in “government,” is irrational and self-contradictory; it is contrary to civilization and morality, and constitutes the most dangerous, destructive superstition that has ever existed. Rather than being a force for order and justice, the belief in “authority” is the arch-enemy of humanity.” [MORE]

Ashton says she is grieving, but she is also angry.

“We’re angry because we have so many questions. How could this situation have been de-escalated? How could we avoid these circumstances going forward? No one deserves to be treated in the horrifying manner that Keenan was treated,” she said.

FUNKTIONARY explains,

adherent rights – privileges disguised as so-called “rights” created by men via deceptive word-manipulation in written form called “symbolaeography,” and legal documents. 2) privileges granted by an apparent or putative authority at the expense of one's inherent or unalienable ‘rights.’ (See: Inherent Rights & Rights)

inherent rights – unalienable and unassailable rights. Inherent rights have never been codified into law, so if you’re from a phfree family, you’ll know how to assert and defend them), and if not, you won’t. (See: Adherent Rights)

rights” – useful fictions declared in order to make agents of another type of fiction (“government”) have to play along in their deadly theatrical (tragicomedy) game. 2) mere fictions, the contemplation of which leads only to a progressive social, personal, racial and jurisprudential separation from reality. Discussion and debates about “rights” merely evades the FAQ, i.e., the frequently avoided question of who is to enforce any “right” and who will benefit from the pretense. “Rights” are separated into two categories—those flowing from “negative liberties” and those flowing from “positive liberties.” In law, rights are remedies and if a person is without a remedy (as is with citizens of the United States) he is without a right, and only a ‘thing’ is without rights.

Has Voting Led to Black Power? The Largest Group of Puppeticians Sworn into Congress as Blacks Remain 3/5's the Status of Whites. Race Disparity Persists Across Every Quality of Life Indicator in US

From [HERE] The Congressional Black Caucus of the 118th Congress was officially sworn in at a ceremony on Tuesday, with Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) replacing outgoing Chairwoman Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) as the “conscience of the Congress.” 

Horsford said the new CBC will have the opportunity to advance the vision of the first CBC from 50 years ago — one that had only 13 members, including Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.) as the only woman.

“The laws and policies of our nation did not always favor Black Americans, from the earliest slaves brought across the ocean to the Black soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. To those who braved the earliest fights through Jim Crow & Reconstruction, from the Tuskegee Airmen and Henrietta Lacks to the brave front-line workers in the COVID pandemic,” Horsford said. “In the work we do, we honor our history, like the many Black members that served before there was even a Congressional Black Caucus.”

The new leadership was announced in early December. Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) was sworn in as the first vice chair; Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.) as second vice chair; Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) as secretary; and Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-Wash.) as the caucus’s whip. [MORE]

Similar to PCP, false consciousness programming indoctrinated into Black people effects the brain causing delusion. Black people constitute a powerless class.

According to The National Urban League’s 2022 State of Black America report Blacks are about three-fifths along the way to experiencing equal status with White Americans. The Black-White disparity persists across virtually every line or indicator of life and quality of life in the United States. Nevertheless, deluded black “leaders” and the deluded Black electorant childishly believe in the myth of their progress and take for granted that their survival in the free range prison is guaranteed. Black sheeple filled with anxiety are running around worrying about voting rights - yet voting for white liberals and black rolebots has done nothing to neutralize the system of racism white supremacy. The great rebel Dr. Amos Wilson explained,

‘The vested interests indiscriminate support of Black politicians and the White elite-dominated American political system is most clearly exposed during elections when it beats the drums to get Black voters to the polls to elect Black officials. This establishment strives strenuously to convince the Black electorate that every conceivable problem which confronts it can be resolved through voting heavily for Black and friendly White politicians. The Black media is ever quick to remind the Black electorate of the historical struggles necessary to achieve their right to vote. It indicts the community for its electoral apathy and seeks to evoke guilt feelings in those who do not participate in the electoral process — making such ritualistic participation emblematic of democracy and first-class citizenship. This is of special interest when it is realized that very few, if any, of the major political, economic and social goals achieved by Black America, including the Voting Rights Act, were accomplished through Black voting prowess. The ballot box has been a relatively impotent weapon in the achievement of major victories by the Black community. Suddenly vigorous protest and direct-action legal suits and extralegal processes such as boycotts, sit-ins, and the like, which were used so effectively by the community to achieve its sociopolitical ends and to fight injustice and oppression, have fallen far behind the election of Black politicians to achieve the same ends. The mystery of the Black media establishment's complicity with this type of political fraud — the electing of politicians to a bankrupt political system dominated by the ruling corporate elite whose values and aims are inimical to the cause of Black liberation; the election of Black politicians who are but pawns of the White Democratic Party machine and who seek to have the Black community identify its communal interest with the politicians' personal interests; the election of politicians who in no way are interested in developing a program for the economic emancipation and empowerment of the Black community, and who are not committed to the final overthrow of White supremacy, becomes clear when we recognize their bourgeois interests.’ [MORE]

BARK AND CLAP AND GO VOTE NGHR. BLACK POWER(LESS) - THE DECLINE OF BLACK POLITICS IN AMERICA. VOTING AGAINST REPUBLICANS AND FOR NOTHING. NORMAN KELLEY EXPLAINED ‘DEMS HAVE NO MESSAGE OR ANY KIND OF ORGANIZING TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS FACED BY BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA. NOTHING BEYOND "THE BASIC POLITICAL PABULUM THAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS.

THIS SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS WHERE BLACK VOTES ARE AS MUCH AS TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY DEMOCRATS IS THE CULMINATION OF 40 YEARS OF DECLINE OF BLACK POLITICS. IN REALITY, BLACKS HAVE STEADILY LOST INFLUENCE AND A SENSE OF SELF-EMPOWERMENT BY CEASING TO BE ORGANIZED IN ANY MEANINGFUL FASHION, HAVING GIVEN INTO PSEUDO-POLITICAL MOBILIZATION OVER NON-ISSUES SUCH AS "ATONEMENT" AND REPARATIONS OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS. ONE COULD EVEN ARGUE THAT BLACKS HAVE NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY ORGANIZED SINCE THE 1960S.’ [MORE]

Similar to their unquestioned belief in voting and acceptance of rolebotic Black puppeticans, the Black electorant automatically presumes that most white liberals are not racist. According to this clogic (means fucked up logic) Black voters are comfortable voting for liberal do-gooders without critical examination of their legislative records, campaign proposals or particularized sets of plans for Black people. For decades now, the Black votary has been electing liberals in places dominated by white liberal politics. Based on the clogic that most liberal whites aren’t racist, the quality of life and citizenship for Black residents in liberal jurisdictions should materially speak for itself and it should be far superior to living conditions for Blacks living in in republican jurisdictions- the places where most of the racists reside.

If liberal jurisdictions are ‘racist free’ then who is it cramming the jails and courtrooms with Blacks in NYC, Milwaukee, Chicago, Columbus, Minnesota, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Oakland, Atlanta, Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, New Orleans and others? Who is striking Blacks from juries? Who is evicting Black tenants from their homes for failure to pay rent during the government’s COVID lockdowns? Who is providing a servant (mis)education to black children? Who is running the public fool systems? Who is gentrifying neighborhoods, dislocating Black families, businesses and making blacks homeless? Who is failing to protect law abiding black people in their segregated communities and preventing them from arming themselves in self-defense from criminals? Who is surveilling, stopping, frisking, and searching law abiding Blacks at will on a daily basis? Whose police officers frequently brutalize and murder blacks with impunity? The answer is racist, white liberals. Specifically, white liberal; judges, prosecutors, jurors, landlords, government authorities, administrators, police officers, school teachers, school administrators, real estate agents, bankers, doctors, business owners, creditors etc., in places where the majority of Black people reside in the US.

In liberal jurisdictions racist liberals work together to dominate and control non-white people in all areas of people activity. Racism is a team effort, it is collective white behavior and collective white power or a conspiracy among white individuals and/or groups of white people to impersonally control and/or dominate non-white people. For instance, liberal authorities control Rykers Island, an overwhelmingly Black/Latino jail. Racist republicans aren’t imported into NYC to fuck up the jail. Individual white, liberal authorities maintain its reprehensible, filthy and dangerous state; it has a rate of violence 8X greater than other municipal jails. Recently Eric Tavira, a young Latino man, hung himself to avoid dealing with the foul conditions inside. A white, liberal judge had detained him there on a misdemeanor at the request of white, liberal prosecutors who sought high bail ($20k) to placate white liberal citizens who demand un-payable bail to keep poor Blacks and Latinos locked-up after arrest so they can feel safer. White liberal residents felt safer for the 16 months Tavira was held pre-trial – his trial delayed due to the busy court calendar, overloaded with other non-whites by white liberal judges and prosecutors. Similarly, a group of white NYPD cops recently beat and smothered a naked black man to death as they held him down in the street. His name was Daniel Prude. Afterwards the liberal media (elite white liberals), police union (controlled by white liberals), his fellow cops and the DA (beholden to elite white liberals), upheld and supported the white cops’ right to do so; no cops were charged or even fired over his murder. Importantly, black people should understand that racist conduct by white liberal government authorities in particular, is done on behalf and at the request of liberal racist citizens – the so-called allies of the black votary. Power napping Blacks describing themselves as woke need to wake the fuck up and stop barking and clapping like animals for those who are deceiving them. Republicans may indeed be enemies of Black people but Blacks are their own enemy if they mindlessly believe that Democrats aren’t also a “white party” and racist liberals aren’t presently strangling Black people to death while making it look like they are dying from natural causes. White liberal do-gooders are clowning Blacks. Never participate in your destruction. [MORE]

Joy Reid, a Token Black Commentator in the Jim Crow Media, Attacks Byron Donalds for Being a Token Puppetician in Congress. Both Claim to Have the Best Master and Reside on the Best Plantation

FOR MORE read “The Return of the Nigger Breakers” by the legend, Ishmael Reed.

Black conservatives call the Democratic party a plantation because it is - but so is the GOP. Elite whites maintain both plantations for all people. All statists (dems, GOP, libertarians, green, whatever believe in “authority”) very much want and need a master to obey. FUNKTIONARY explains,

Statism - the belief "citizens"' and "states" exist and the memetic thought patterns supporting such beliefs. 2) the religion of oppression and domination coupled with the science of exploitation and sociopathic control. 3) the opiate of the so-called Elites. 4) a philosophy that idealizes majority rule gang force (authority) over individual authenticity (autonomy). 5) servitude over liberty and statutes over humanity.

Undeceiver Larken Rose explains, “There is a big difference between striving for a new, wiser, nobler master, and striving for a world of equals, where there are no masters and no slaves. Likewise, there is a big difference between a slave who believes in the principle of freedom, and a slave whose ultimate goal is to become the new master. And this is true, even if that slave truly intends to be a kind and generous master . . . As long as the people believe in the myth of “authority,” every downfall of one tyrant will be followed by the creation and growth of a new tyrant.“

Larken Rose further explains; 

"Among those who vote Democrat or Republican – or for any other party – no one recognizes the underlying problem, and as a result, no one ever gets any closer to a solution. They remain slaves, because their thoughts and discussions are limited to the pointless question of who should be their master. They never consider – and dare not allow themselves to consider – the possibility that they should have no master at all. As a result, they focus entirely on political action of one kind or another, But the foundation of all political action is the belief in “authority,” which is the problem itself So the efforts of statists are, and always will be, doomed to fail.

Unfortunately, this is also true of the less mainstream, supposedly more pro-freedom “political movements,” including Constitutionalists, the Libertarian party, and others. As long as they think and act within the confines of the “government” game, their efforts are not only completely incapable of solving the problem but actually aggravate the problem by inadvertently legitimizing the system of domination and subjugation which wears the label of “government.”

The Rules of the Game

Even most people who claim to love liberty and to believe in “unalienable” rights allow the superstition of “authority” to drastically limit their effectiveness. Most of what such people do, in one way or another, consists of asking tyrants to change their “laws.” Whether activists campaign for or against a particular candidate, or lobby for or against a particular piece of “legislation,” they are merely reinforcing the assumption that obedience to authority is a moral imperative.

When activists try to convince politicians to decrease “taxes,” or repeal some “law,” those activists are implicitly admitting that they need permission from their masters in order to be free, And the man who “runs for office,” promising to fight for the people, is also implying that it is up to those in “government” to decide what the peasants will be allowed to do. As Daniel Webster put it, “There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern; they promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.” Activists spend huge amounts of time, money and effort begging their masters to change their commands. Many even go out of their way to stress the fact that they are “working within the system,” and that they are not advocating anything “illegal.” This shows that, regardless of their displeasure with those in power, they still believe in the myth of “authority,” and will cooperate with “legal” injustice unless and until they can convince the masters to change the rules – to “legalize” justice. While the intended message of dissenters may be that they disapprove of what the masters are doing, the actual message that all political action sends to those in power is “We wish you would change your commands, but we will continue to obey whether you do or not.” The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response. To beg for the blessing of “authority” is to accept that the choice is the master’s alone to make, which means that the person is already, by definition, a slave.

One who begs for lower “taxes” is implicitly agreeing that it is up to the politicians how much a man may keep of what he has earned. One who begs the politicians not to disarm him (via “gun control”) is, by doing so, conceding that it is up to the master whether to let the man be armed or not. In fact, those who lobby for politicians to respect any of the people’s “unalienable rights” do not believe in unalienable rights at all. Rights which require “government” approval are not unalienable, and are not even rights. They are privileges, granted or withheld at the whim of the master. And those who hold positions of power know that they have nothing to fear from people who do nothing but pathetically beg for freedom and justice, However loudly the dissenters talk about “demanding” their rights, the message they actually send is this: “We agree, master, that it is up to you what we may and may not do.”

That underlying message can be seen in all sorts of activities mistakenly imagined to be forms of resistance. For example, people often engage in protests in front of “government” buildings, carrying signs, chanting slogans, sometimes even engaging in violence, to express their displeasure with what the masters are doing. However, even such “protests,” for the most part, do little more than reinforce authoritarianism. Marches, sit-ins, protests, and so on, are designed to send a message to the masters, the goal being to convince the masters to change their evil ways. But that message still implies that it is up to the masters what the people may do, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: when the people feel beholden to an “authority,” they are beholden to an “authority.” Those in “government” derive all of their power from the fact that their subjects imagine them to have power.

Legitimizing Oppression

The harder people try to work within any political system to achieve freedom, the more they will reinforce, in their own minds and the minds of anyone watching, that the “system” is legitimate. Petitioning politicians to change their “laws” implies that those “laws” matter, and should be obeyed. Nothing better shows the power of the belief in “authority” than the spectacle of a hundred million people begging a few hundred politicians for lower “taxes.” If the people truly understood that the fruits of a man’s labor are his own, they would never engage in such lunacy; they would simply stop surrendering their property to the political parasites. Their trained-in desire to have the approval of “authority” creates in them a mindset not unlike the mindset of a slave: they literally feel bad about keeping their own money and making their own choices without first getting the master’s permission to do so. Even when freedom is theirs for the taking, statists continue to grovel at the feet of megalomaniacs, begging for freedom, thus ensuring that they will never be free.

The truth is, one cannot believe in “authority” and be free, because accepting the myth of “government” is accepting one’s own obligation to obey a master, which means accepting one’s own enslavement. Sadly, many people believe that begging the master, via “political action,” is all they can do, So they forever engage in rituals which only legitimize the slave-master relationship, instead of simply disobeying the tyrants. The idea of disobeying “authority,” “breaking the law,” and being “criminals” is more disturbing to them than the idea of being a slave.

Those who want a significantly lower level of authoritarian control and coercion are sometimes accused of being “anti-government,” an allegation most vehemently deny, saying that they are not against “government” per se, but only want better “government.” But by their own words they are admitting that they do not believe in true freedom, but still believe in the Divine Right of Politicians and the idea that a ruling class can be a good and legitimate thing. Only someone who still feels an abiding obligation to obey the commands of politicians would want to avoid being labeled “anti-government.” Since “government” always consists of aggression and domination, one cannot be truly pro- freedom without being anti-”government.” The fact that so many activists reject that label (”anti-government”) shows how deeply ingrained the superstition of “authority” remains, even in the minds of those who imagine themselves to be ardent advocates of individual liberty.

Reformers Unable to Stop Police from Murdering a Record Number of People in 2022. But Cops' Uncontrollable, Immoral Power to Initiate Unprovoked Violence and Forcibly Control Citizens is Unreformable

Treadmilling Reformers are Seeking Nicer Masters: They Believe Cops Should Have Authority to Forcibly Control Us & Take Our Lives So Long as They “Do the Right Thing” WHILE DOING SO & Reduce their Budgets

An essential difference between private security workers and police officers is that security workers possess no government authority or right to initiate unprovoked acts of violence on other people. FUNKTIONARY explains that unprovoked violence against others or the use of “force” is the basis of all social evils and can only be used in the sense of attack not defense. It explains that authority, the right to rule over other people, is not a force but a farce, literally not real or “make believe.”

Allegedly governmental power comes from the people. That is, we delegate our individual power to the government for it to act on our behalf. However, it goes without saying that people cannot delegate powers or rights that they do not possess. So if people have delegated their powers to lawmakers and lawmakers have empowered police officers to act on our behalf, how did police acquire the moral right to commit acts of unprovoked violence on people? Asked differently, if you don’t have the right to initiate unprovoked acts of violence against other people then how can you delegate or authorize police officers or anyone else acting on your behalf to do so? How did government representatives and police acquire such extra or super-human powers?

From [HERE] Nearly three years after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked worldwide protests demanding far-reaching reforms to stop law enforcement agents from perpetrating violence against the communities they're meant to protect, new data shows 2022 was the deadliest year on record for people who had police encounters in the United States.

At least 1,176 people were killed by police officers last year, according to the project Mapping Police Violence—the most since experts began tracking police violence and the use of deadly force.

The number represents the killing of more than three people per day on average by police officers, or nearly 100 per month last year.

In 2020, he year Floyd was killed, at least 1,152 people were killed by police officers, and in 2021 1,145 people were killed.

As researchers showed in a study published in The Lancet in 2021, about half of killings by law enforcement agents go unreported, so the true number of people killed by the police last year may be double the figure reported by Mapping Police Violence.

People killed by the police in 2022 included Jayland Walker, who was killed by Akron, Ohio police officers after they chased him following an alleged traffic violation; Donovan Lewis, who was fatally shot by a Columbus, Ohio officer in August after police came to his house with a warrant; and Patrick Lyoya, who was killed by Grand Rapids, Michigan police after he ran away from an officer who grabbed him during a traffic stop due to an issue with his license plate.

In 32% of the cases documented by Mapping Police Violence, the victim was fleeing the police before they were killed. Legal experts say police are almost always unjustified in shooting people when they are running away from law enforcement, particularly after being suspected of committing nonviolent crimes.

"These are routine police encounters that escalate to a killing," Samuel Sinyangwe, a data scientist and policy analyst who founded Mapping Police Violence, told The Guardian. "What's clear is that it's continuing to get worse, and that it's deeply systemic."

Only 31% of police killings took place after an alleged violent crime, while 46% did not involve people who had been accused of violence. Nine percent took place during mental health or welfare checks, 8% involved traffic violations, 18% involved allegations of nonviolent offenses, and 11% involved no alleged offense.

While Black people make up 13% of the U.S. population, they accounted for 24% of the people killed by the police last year.

Bianca Austin, the aunt of Breonna Taylor, who was killed in March 2020 by police officers in Louisville when they executed a warrant in the middle of the night, demanded to know what more advocates can do to stop police violence, especially as lawmakers reject calls for far-reaching reforms and greater investments in communities—rather than police departments—as a way of making people safer.

"It just never stops," Austin told The Guardian. "There was a movement and uproar across the globe, and we're still having more killings? What are we doing wrong? It's so disheartening."

Since the killings of Floyd and Taylor sparked mass protests, legislators have passed police reforms in at least 20 states, including new restrictions on the use of force against fleeing suspects in Colorado, Illinois, and Massachusetts, and bans on chokeholds and neck restraints in California, Nevada, and New York.

According to FUNKTIONARY:

reform - superficial change in form and formalities (fictitious change) which only further lubricates the status quo by renovating and painting old society in new colors. 2) appearance of change sans the change. Reform is always in the service of the status quo and the politician: it serves the privilege of the past not the promise of the future. Reform creates hypocrisy as a matter of course. Reform is the first stage in the three "P,'s" in hue-man evolution; the other two being revolution and rebellion. There are two basic types of reformists: those who are preparing the ground for Third Eye revolution and those who are trying to prevent the conscious revolution. (See: Revolution, Status Quo, Barbarian, Meme & Change)

reformers - naive politicians. They came to do good and stayed to do well. Reformers themselves get reformed into the structure, consciousness and content of the dominant exploitative system--and thus become the system. (See: Revolution)

Under the Guise of Preventing Criminal Gun Violence, Illinois Authorities Pass Law that Prevents Law Abiding People from Defending Themselves Against Criminals and Government Tyranny w/Assault Weapons

gun ban - the precursor to servitude. [MORE]

Second Amendment - (to the Constitution for the United States)—is only intended for a militia to enforce the First Amendment if and when deemed necessary. Every non-felon in the street has the guaranteed right to be packin' heat. Slave states (the overwhelming majority) are those that have criminalized openly carrying firearms. In the case of Silveira v. Lockver, Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski summed up the importance of the right to keep and bear arms: "The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once." The right to keep and bears arms actually serves as more than an insurance policy, it also serves as a deterrent. For when would-be tyrants know that the citizenry is well-armed, they think twice about imposing tyranny. (See: Gun Control & Militia)

From [HERE] Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Tuesday signed a bill into law that institutes a statewide ban on the sale and manufacturing of assault rifles. Pritzker signed the bill after it passed the Illinois Senate Monday in a vote of 34-20.

The bill, known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act, also prohibits the sale and manufacturing of assault weapon attachments, .50 caliber cartridges, any .50 caliber rifle and certain pistols. The bill defines assault rifles as any rifle that carries more than 15 rounds of ammunition. Pistols that carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition are also banned. Under the bill, anyone in possession of newly outlawed weapons will have until October 1 to report their ownership to the state government.

Pritzker previously stated that this is a bill he will be “proud” to sign in order to stop the sale of automatic weapons as soon as possible. Pritzker stated, “No Illinoisan, no matter their zip code, should have to go through life fearing their loved one could be the next in an ever-growing list of victims of mass shootings.” Pritzker said the bill is a part of his joint effort with leaders in the Illinois General Assembly to get “the most dangerous weapons” off of Illinois’s streets.

Pritzker, House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and Senate President Don Harmon issued a joint statement supporting the bill’s passage. The statement read in part:

Gun violence is an epidemic that is plaguing every corner of this state and the people of Illinois are demanding substantive action. With this legislation we are delivering on the promises Democrats have made and, together, we are making Illinois’ gun laws a model for the nation.

Public Transit Ridership Down in Liberal Cities Due to Crime-Ridden Buses/Trains Where Authorities Have Banned Law Abiding Citizens from Keeping and Bearing Arms for Self-Defense Against Criminals

ALL LAWS ARE VIOLENCE. THE REBEL LARKEN ROSE EXPLAINS, “IN TRUTH, EVERY AUTHORITARIAN “LAW” IS A COMMAND BACKED BY THE THREAT OF RETALIATION AGAINST THOSE WHO DO NOT COMPLY. WHETHER IT IS A “LAW” AGAINST COMMITTING MURDER OR AGAINST BUILDING A DECK WITHOUT A BUILDING PERMIT, IT IS NEITHER A SUGGESTION NOR A REQUEST, BUT A COMMAND, BACKED BY THE THREAT OF VIOLENCE, WHETHER IN THE FORM OF FORCED CONFISCATION OF PROPERTY (I.E., FINES) OR THE KIDNAPPING OF A HUMAN BEING (I.E., IMPRISONMENT), WHAT MIGHT BE CALLED “EXTORTION” IF DONE BY THE AVERAGE CITIZEN IS CALLED “TAXATION” WHEN DONE BY PEOPLE WHO ARE IMAGINED TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE. [MORE]

From [HERE] Several of the nation’s largest urban mass-transit systems are at a crossroads, with ridership still depressed three years into the pandemic and federal aid running out. 

While offices have largely reopened and travel has resumed, many commuters are only coming in a few days a week. That shift has left subways, buses and commuter trains operating at well below capacity—particularly on Mondays and Fridays.

The ridership shortfall is forcing transit authorities to question their decades-old funding models for public buses, subways and trains, which are based on a combination of rider fares and public money. On average, fares provided about a third of the operating income for transit systems nationwide in 2019, according to the Federal Transit Administration. 

In major cities such as New York and San Francisco, transit authorities have been leaning on emergency funding to plug budget holes and prop up operations. In all, Congress approved about $69 billion in three separate Covid-19 relief packages in 2020 and 2021.

But those funds are dwindling, leaving transit officials grappling with budget shortfalls and seeking new ways to fund existing service. 

The ridership drop also has fueled an increase in transit crime, which in turn has pushed away more riders.

“The more you lose a ridership base, the more difficult it becomes to maintain a level of service that people are used to,” said P.S. Sriraj, director of the Urban Transportation Center at the University of Illinois, Chicago. “It’s becoming a vicious cycle.”

In New York City, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has disclosed plans to cut some Monday and Friday service and increase rider fares this year. New York’s subway system has regained about two-thirds of its pre-pandemic ridership with about 91 million trips in November, according to the MTA. But that is about 50 million fewer rides than in November 2019. Officials worry usage has stalled out at that level.

In San Francisco, the Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, recorded 3.7 million trips in November—a little more than one-third of the ridership before Covid. 

Systems in Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston also remain short of their pre-pandemic user numbers, deepening financial strains. In cities such as Dallas and Cincinnati, where public-transit budgets are mostly funded through sales tax revenue and more people commute by car, user declines haven’t hit as hard. 

In the U.S. overall, there were 883 million fewer public-transit trips in the third quarter of 2022 compared with the same period in 2019, according to federal data gathered by the American Public Transportation Association. [MORE]

Court Blocks Much of New Jersey Law that Prevented Law Abiding Citizens from Possessing Guns in Public

From [HERE] A federal judge ruled on Monday that a central component of a new law that limited where handguns may be carried in New Jersey was unconstitutional, severely undercutting the state’s effort to create gun-free zones in public places where crowds gather.

In a sharply worded decision, Judge Renée Marie Bumb of the U.S. District Court of New Jersey concluded that a half-dozen restrictions in the legislation, adopted less than three weeks ago, were “so extensive and burdensome” that they rendered the right to “armed self-defense in public a nullity.”

New Jersey, like New York, established an extensive list of places where handgun owners were not permitted to carry weapons in response to a Supreme Court ruling in June that loosened restrictions on carrying guns in public.

Judge Bumb’s order at least temporarily blocks New Jersey from enforcing much of the new law, and immediately permits licensed handgun owners to carry weapons in nightclubs, theaters, arenas, concert halls, racetracks and museums, among other places, pending further court action.

“As plaintiffs lament, the challenged provisions force a person permitted to carry a firearm in New Jersey to ‘navigate a veritable minefield,’” wrote Judge Bumb, who was nominated to the lifetime position in 2006 by President George W. Bush.

“The court knows of no constitutional right that requires this much guesswork by individuals wanting to exercise such right,” she added.

Portions of the law that were not challenged in court, including rules that make it illegal to carry weapons into schools, day care centers and hospitals, remain in place. [MORE]

disbelief – a natural effect or a subconscious effect, of having a functioning critical mental faculty. The critical mental faculty is the ability to discern truth from among falsehood and lies, reality from truth, substance over symbol, realities over granfalloons, danger in the apparent midst of “peace,” inherent spirituality over Corporate religion, inherent rights over adherent rights, etc. 2) a mental state where reasoning has not been transcended. 3) when our perceptions of what actually exists misrepresents (do not agree or align with) what actually exists. Disbelief is the faculty that causes a rabbit for instance to refuse to cross a meadow to get a drink. Although the meadow looks peaceful and safe, it can’t believe it actually is safe; it may be under surveillance by a hawk or a hunter. Disbelief is when something we believe should exist does not agree with our perceptions of what actually exists. Disbelief can be shocking but awe-full (full of awe) and, is the key to the door of disillusionment which is the threshold of enlightenment—the porch of paradise.

The Great Brain Robbery: Joe Rogan Comments on 'Ideologically Captured' Sheeple and COVID Injections

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Dogma – Am God (spelled backwards). 2) a puppy’s mother—a bitch. 3) instructions on what to believe and how to believe it. 4) truth pressed and starched to appear crisp. 5) any kind of truth that justifies the institutionalized structure of the organization. Reality isn’t wrinkle-free. Every dogma has its day—and a dogma that chases its catechism, will definitely be busy. Dogma is the edifice of ignorance (in the form of static superstitions) and bastion of banality inside your thinking apparatus and thinking process. Dogma is the expression of the belief system that must be adhered to; hatred is the enforcer. Dogma is the rulebook of the particular truth that is being enforced by hatred. The truth that is played with is the game— the rules that enforce how the game is played is the dogma. Dogma is a protector of objective truth; and truth is a prophylactic for reality. Dogma is the bug (fatal flaw) and true believers are the replicating viruses that propagate and distort the internal model of the nature of reality directly experienced within nondual consciousness. People perceive reality’s forms as direct threats on (and to) their truths because they are merely living (in truth at the mythic or rational level of consciousness) and not Alive (living God in reality) at the higher states, levels or realms of consciousness. Nondual consciousness unfolds itself the highest realization that a divine being can experience appearing-as-process in the space-time continuum. “Any time you have a doctrine where that is the truth that you assert, and that what you call the truth is unassailable, you’ve got doctrine, you’ve got dogma on your hands. And so Cosmos is…an offering of science, and a reminder that dogma does not advance science; it actually regresses it.” ~Neil DeGrassi Tyson. Dogma is the straightjacket of the spirit. Before you ever had the opportunity to even ask the question, the answer was given to you. Dogma is believing in borrowed answers to questions you never had the chance to formulate or ask. True believers are people who believe in answers without asking. Believing in borrowed answers is convenient and comfortable. Questioning is never comforting; to question one has to go within oneself. Dogma’s staying power lies in its ability to feed on any experience, digest, then defecate it while pronouncing it as a piece of duty. It secretly enriches itself on that it openly despises. A man of dogma is a dead man, and he clings to dead leaves (beliefs and scriptures) and dead ideologies. [MORE]

ER Doctors’ who Popped Up on Twitter Claiming They Witnessed Dozens of People Dying from COVID Everyday in Hospital Were Not Real People

From [HERE] As Revolver News reports, a pair of ‘E.R. doctors’ who claimed that they witnessed dozens of COVID deaths per shift were not even real people:

If you were on Twitter back when the COVID “fear mongering” was at its peak, you’ll likely remember the “Twitter doctors” who popped up, seemingly out of thin air, claiming they were losing hordes of patients to COVID every single day.

These so-called “doctors” whipped everyone into a fear frenzy. Their tweets would get tens of thousands of retweets and engagement daily.

The “doctors” posed as ER physicians and were part of the LGBTQ community in some way. They created this hellish/apocalyptic scenario that made it sound as if bodies were piling up in the streets.

Well, this probably won’t come as a huge surprise to you, but those popular “ER doctors” were fake.

The site quoted a bombshell report in the San Francisco Standard, which revealed the false flag operation.

“Last month, Dr. Robert Honeyman lost their sister to Covid. They wrote about it on Twitter and received dozens of condolences, over 4,000 retweets and 43,000 likes,” the outlet reported. “Exactly one month later, on Dec. 12, Honeyman wrote that another tragedy had befallen their family.”

“Sad to announce that my husband has entered a coma after being in hospital with Covid. The doctor is unsure if he will come out,” they tweeted. “This year has been the toughest of my life losing my sister to this virus. This is the first time in my life I don’t see light at the end of the tunnel.”

Once more, the condolences and well-wishes poured in — Americans are a compassionate lot, after all, regardless of what lying leftist Democrats often say. But again, none of this was true.

It was all fake.

“Honeyman wasn’t real,” the San Francisco Standard reported. “The transgender ‘Doctor of Sociology and Feminist studies’ with a ‘keen interest in poetry” who used they/them pronouns was, in fact, a stock photo described on DepositPhotos, a royalty-free image site, as ‘Smiling happy, handsome latino man outside—headshot portrait.’

“Their supposedly comatose husband, Dr. Patrick C. Honeyman, was also fake. His Twitter photo had been stolen from an insurance professional in Wayne, Indiana,” the outlet’s report noted further.

But it gets worse: The outlet noted that the two phony doctors, whose accounts continually urged caution about COVID-19 and pushed for lockdowns, masking, business closures, etc., were part of a larger network of at least four fake accounts that promoted alleged ties to the LGBTQ community. The accounts also posted heated criticisms of anyone who was viewed as not taking the pandemic seriously enough or who pushed back on the tyrannical measures.

And interestingly enough, the scam was uncovered by a liberal writer.

“The fake doctors were uncovered by Joshua Gutterman Tranen, a self-described “gay writer” pursuing a master’s of fine arts at Bennington College. He saw Robert Honeyman’s tweet about their husband being in a coma, noticed people he followed also followed them, and thought that they might be part of the LGBTQ+ academic community,” the outlet reported.

“But after 10 minutes of googling, Gutterman Tranen concluded that Robert Honeyman’s photo was a stock image and their biography stretched boundaries of believability: an academic who left no traces on academic websites and had lost two family members to Covid in late 2022, despite masking and distancing,” the report stated.

Once again, social media was being used to push lies, false narratives, and propaganda, proving once again that the big tech companies are no doubt tied to the American deep state.

COVID is the Most Sophisticated Propaganda and PropAgenda Operation in History. Psychological Techniques Incite Fear and Panic in the Population to Induce Consent for Deadly Shots and Loss of Freedoms

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • COVID-19 is the largest, most sophisticated propaganda operation in history. Psychological techniques were extensively used during 2020 to incite fear and panic in the population

  • Propaganda strategies were also used to get people to support and defend irrational COVID measures such as masking, isolation, social distancing, lockdowns and jab mandates

  • What made the COVID propaganda so much more effective than any previous propaganda operation is the fact that a virus is the perfect enemy. It’s invisible, could be carried by anyone, including those you love the most, and could “get” you anywhere

  • Classical rhetoric is about persuasion through argument. It appeals to logic. Propaganda, on the other hand, is a kind of subrational manipulation that appeals to our most basic instincts, such as fear. An informal definition of propaganda is “an organized attempt to get people to think or do something — or not think or do something”

  • The Great Lie is possible because the more divorced a lie is from reality, the more likely it is to succeed, as most people are reluctant to think that authority figures would lie and completely ignore reality

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Propagenda – propaganda developed and directed to a particular audience as a means of predictive programming for accepting someone’s agenda as their very own. (See: $pinfidels, Predictive Programming & Coin-Operated)

From [MERCOLA] In the video above,1,2 initially published in August 2021, professor Piers Robinson, Ph.D. — co-director of the Organization for Propaganda Studies, whose research specialty is organized persuasive communication and contemporary propaganda — speaks to Asia Pacific Today about propaganda in the age of COVID.

As noted by Robinson, COVID-19 is unquestionably the largest, most sophisticated propaganda operation in history. Psychological techniques were extensively used during 2020 to incite fear and panic in the population, while other persuasion strategies were used to get people to support and defend COVID measures such as masking, isolation, social distancing, lockdowns and jab mandates.

The Propaganda War

Indeed, propaganda is what allowed for draconian and unscientific COVID measures to be implemented in the first place. Without propaganda and simultaneous censorship of opposing views, little of what we've been through would have been possible.

As noted by Robinson, while the use of state propaganda could initially be justified as a necessary means to achieve a public health objective — protecting people from COVID-related illness and death — it quickly became apparent that this was not the case, and likely never was.

Today, three years in, it's quite evident that COVID is a psychological operation. For example, since 2022 at the latest, COVID has been nothing more than another endemic respiratory infection, much like the common cold, yet the pandemic has not been declared "over."

We now also have clear evidence that the COVID jabs don't prevent infection or spread of the virus, which negates the entire premise for vaccine passports, yet they're being pushed anyway. In short, COVID-19 was (and still is) a means to an end; to suspend and strip us of Constitutional rights and civil liberties, and to further social, political and financial restructuring objectives outside democratic processes.

A Propaganda Masterpiece

Another propaganda expert who has spoken about the overt use of propaganda to create and maintain the pandemic is professor Mark Crispin Miller, Ph.D., whom I interviewed in June 2021 about the academic censorship he experienced at New York University.

Ironically, it was his teaching students how to question and resist propaganda that brought on the curtailment of his academic freedom, after teaching this important subject for over 20 years. Like Robinson, Miller believes that what we've experienced over the past three years is a propaganda "masterpiece" of unequaled scale and sophistication.

It began with the outbreak of an unknown pathogen in China. Media showed images of people allegedly dropping dead in the streets. This has never happened anywhere else since then, which strongly suggests those images were misappropriated for one purpose — to spread fear.

According to Miller, the type of fearmongering used to propagate the belief that COVID-19 was a lethal threat was the most devastating ever used in propaganda history. What made the COVID propaganda so much more effective than any previous propaganda operation was the fact that a virus is the perfect enemy.

It's invisible, could be carried by anyone, including those you love the most, and could "get" you anywhere. As explained by Miller, in previous propaganda operations, the enemy was typically portrayed as having the ability to "infect" the people and the nation with its evil.

This was the case both with anti-communist propaganda and the "war on terror." Communism was likened to an infectious disease set to ravage the nation, and terrorists were likened to a pandemic that had to be controlled and combated. With COVID, the propaganda shifted to the thing of fear itself — an actual virus.

Despite a long-held understanding that asymptomatic infection doesn't exist, the propagandists even managed to convince the public that perfectly healthy people could spread the virus. It was a complete fiction, a scientific falsehood, which is how we know that the pandemic narrative was a psychological operation, yet people were so fearful, they didn't question it.

What Is Propaganda?

As noted by blogger and propaganda analyst Klark Barnes,3 if we want to be free, we must know what propaganda is and how it works. Classical rhetoric is about persuasion through argument. It appeals to logic. Propaganda, on the other hand, is a kind of subrational manipulation that appeal to our most basic instincts.

An informal definition of propaganda is "an organized attempt to get people to think or do something — or not think or do something." Propaganda can be true or false, or somewhere in between, and can be used for both good and ill. Public service ads encouraging you not to smoke, for example, are a form of benevolent propaganda.

The problem with propaganda is that it's inherently biased and one-sided, which can become outright dangerous if the other side is censored.

This is particularly true when it comes to medicine and health, and the censoring of COVID-19 treatment information and the potential hazards of the COVID shots is a perfect example of this. State propaganda and war propaganda also rely heavily on the incitement of fear and anger, which makes people behave in ways they normally wouldn't.

They Must Constantly Stir the Pot to Keep Fear Simmering

As noted by Barnes, media forecasts of other "imminent ordeals" are also a way "to keep widespread fear and anger simmering:"4

"The possible next acts include a cyber-attack ('by Russia'); a breakdown of the world supply chain, and consequent food shortages, or famine (likely to be blamed on Russia); a heightened 'climate crisis,' necessitating further lockdowns …

'[T]terrorist' attacks, by 'white supremacists' and angry blacks (portending war between the races); an 'alien attack' on Planet Earth, as in The War of the Worlds or Independence Day; and — of course — another plague or two, or three, caused by some further COVID 'variant,' smallpox … the Marburg virus, and/or whatever other pathogen, real or imaginary, might serve the same old purpose …

Such looming sequels to the COVID propaganda … would also each inflict a vast amount of further suffering on humanity — and so those of us who study propaganda critically, as public intellectuals, must speak out loud and clear, to set things right."

According to Barnes, setting things right involves, first and foremost, sharing the truth. Propaganda narratives that must be countered with careful and thorough analysis include but are not limited to:

Over the past three years, I've written many articles detailing all of these. But setting the record straight on individual propaganda topics is not enough. If we are to retain our freedoms, Barnes believes the public also needs to get much savvier about propaganda overall.

The Free Press Has Became a Propaganda Juggernaut

For decades, we had a free press that helped keep pro-industry advertising lies in check. Professional investigative journalists working for magazines, newspapers and broadcast outlets would write in-depth exposés, outing the truth behind deceptive advertising and countering industry propaganda with science, statistics and other documented facts.

As a result of the free press doing its job, ineffective or toxic products were often driven off the market. The answer that industry came up with for this problem was to control the press with advertising dollars. By becoming a major revenue stream, advertisers more or less automatically ended up controlling the content.

Even though media management and editors will deny it, if advertisers don't want you to speak about certain issues that might adversely impact their business, all they have to do is threaten to pull their ads.

At that point, you have to make a decision: Ditch the truth or ditch your income. Most news organizations will ditch the truth for payment, and simply will not run reports that might harm the bottom line of its advertisers. As explained by Barnes:5

"That real-life Ministry of Truth was not set up ex nihilo by some iron faction of totalitarian oligarchs but gradually took shape out of a corporate media cartel with interlocking boards, heavily dependent on the advertising revenues of Amazon, Big Pharma … and the media's own parent companies … with its assets closely managed by BlackRock, Vanguard and UBS …

[As] that vast commercial system has become more unified, it also has maintained, or even tightened, its covert relations with the military and 'intelligence community' …

And while the commercial media system has been thus corrupted top to bottom … the 'public' media and 'alternative' press — from NPR, PBS, the BBC and CBC … to nearly every single outlet on 'the left' — have also been absorbed into the juggernaut primarily by their funding through such sturdy CIA pass-throughs as the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Open Society Institute …

[The] 'free press' … has been turned into a bio-fascist fear machine, its propaganda services assured by Bill Gates' 'strategic media partnerships,' and the concomitant 'fact-checking' operation that he also largely funds.

The propaganda gushing daily, hourly, from that system also has depended on the wisdom of such global PR firms as Weber Shandwick, Edelman and Hill+Knowlton Strategies … and, within the Fourth Estate, the rise … of 'journalists' prepared, in university, to be far less concerned with honest journalism than with … serving 'social justice.'"

The Web of Players Silencing Truth

Indeed, as Barnes notes, advertising companies have likely played an important organizational role in the COVID propaganda. Another major one, which I suspect may have had a central role, is the Publicis Groupe. I detailed some of its many connections in "The Web of Players Trying to Silence Truth."

In summary, Publicis represents a long list of major companies within the technology, pharmaceutical and banking industries in more than 100 countries.6 These companies, in turn, have various partnerships with the U.S. government and global nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).

Publicis has ties to NewsGuard/HealthGuard, educational institutions, Big Tech companies like Google, Microsoft and Bing, the U.S. State Department and Department of Defense, global technocratic institutions like the World Health Organization, national and global NGOs like the Center for Countering Digital Hate. And, it dominates health websites like WebMD and Medscape.

Taken together, this explains how certain views can be so effectively erased. Publicis itself is also a partner of the World Economic Forum, which is leading the call for a "reset" of the global economy and our way of life. As such, Publicis appears to be coordinating the suppression of information that runs counter to the technocratic narrative.

The Art of the Great Lie

Marshall McLuhan once said,7 "Little lies don't need to be protected. But the great lies are protected by public incredulity." Basically, people will deny really big lies by saying "Come on, you're crazy, they wouldn't do that." It's far easier to call people "conspiracy theorists" than it is to face the possibility that what they're saying is true.

Little lies don't need to be protected. The big lies are protected by public incredulity. ~ Marshall McLuhan

In a November 4, 2022, article,8 clinical and public health physician Dr. David Bell noted that the more divorced a lie is from reality, the more likely it is to succeed, thanks to the quirks of human nature and normal psychology:

"In a former role I had a boss who lied a lot. The lies were pure fantasy, but massive in scope and delivered with sincerity. They were very successful.

This success was based on the reluctance of most people to consider that someone in a position of authority in a humanitarian organization would completely ignore all semblance of reality. People assumed the claims must be true as fabricating information to that extent in those circumstances seemed to defy logic.

The principle of Really Big Lies is based on the lies being so divorced from reality that the listener will assume their own perception must be flawed, rather than doubt the claims of the person telling the lies. Only an insane or ridiculous person would make such outlandish claims, and a credible institution would not employ such a person.

Therefore, given that the institution is apparently credible, the statements must also be credible, and the listener's prior perception of reality was therefore flawed. Lesser lies, by contrast, are likely to be perceived as sufficiently close to known reality to be demonstrably wrong. Inventing truth can be more effective than bending it."

I believe this is precisely the strategy employed by Big Pharma, health agencies, government officials and the deep state propaganda arm over the past three years. Their claims have been so far from any semblance of reality, anyone aware of the facts has been left feeling more than a little crazy.

Unfortunately, while most humans have a moral and ethical compass, few end up following it when confronted by psychopaths in authority and the peer pressure to conform. As noted by Bell, good team players almost always end up supporting false narratives, and those who refuse to go along with what are clearly lies tend to be but a tiny minority.

Refusing False Narratives Has Real Consequences

As Bell correctly points out, over the past three years, health care workers, patients, researchers, academics and public health employees have been forced to embrace a long list of fantasy-based dogmas that are contradicted by prior public health orthodoxy.

But it's the sharp break from factual reality that makes it impossible to question them because, if you do, you're now questioning "the entire current hierarchy of public health," Bell says. To quote Dr. Anthony Fauci, you're not attacking him when you question his irrational flip-flopping, you're questioning science itself.

If you question these fantasy-based beliefs, you're a science-denier, and you're putting your employment and reputation at risk. And, unfortunately, those risks are not imaginary. Many doctors and scientists whose reputations and contributions to public health have been beyond reproach for decades have been stripped of their medical licenses and lost their jobs for speaking out against the reigning COVID narratives.

Transparency and Truth Are the Remedy

So, where do we go from here? How do we end the madness and return to reality-based public health? Bell believes that public health professionals who have misled the public will inevitably pay a heavy price for their betrayal. He writes:9

"Whilst growing their industry's finances, public health professionals are degrading themselves and betraying society. The betrayal, based on incessant lying, is something for which they will inevitably face consequences …

Eventually, even the most dedicated followers will begin to question the sense of putting on a mask at a restaurant door only to remove it 10 steps later, or vaccinating vast populations against a disease to which they are already immune whilst they die of other readily preventable diseases.

The way out of this is simply to refuse to lie, or cover for the lies of others … [The] truth will catch up, one day, with those who don't … It is far better to leave early and live with dignity."

  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) safety signal analysis based on reports from Dec. 14, 2020 – July 29, 2022, for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines shows clear safety signals for death and a range of highly concerning thrombo-embolic, cardiac, neurological, hemorrhagic, hematological, immune-system and menstrual adverse events (AEs) among U.S. adults.

  • There were 770 different types of adverse events that showed safety signals in ages 18+, of which more than 500 (or 2/3) had a larger safety signal than myocarditis/pericarditis.

  • The CDC analysis shows that the number of serious adverse events reported in less than two years for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is 5.5 times greater than all serious reports for vaccines given to adults in the U.S. since 2009 (~73,000 vs. ~13,000).

  • Twice as many mRNA COVID-19 vaccine reports were classified as serious compared to all other vaccines given to adults (11% vs. 5.5%). This meets the CDC definition of a safety signal.

  • There are 96 safety signals for 12-17 year-olds, which include: myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell’s Palsy, genital ulcerations, high blood pressure and heart rate, menstrual irregularities, cardiac valve incompetencies, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmias, thromboses, pericardial and pleural effusion, appendicitis and perforated appendix, immune thrombocytopenia, chest pain, increased troponin levels, being in intensive care and having anticoagulant therapy.

  • There are 66 safety signals for 5-11 year-olds, which include: myocarditis, pericarditis, ventricular dysfunction and cardiac valve incompetencies, pericardial and pleural effusion, chest pain, appendicitis and appendectomies, Kawasaki’s disease, menstrual irregularities, vitiligo and vaccine breakthrough infection.

  • The safety signals cannot be dismissed as due to “stimulated,” exaggerated, fraudulent or otherwise artificially inflated reporting, nor can they be dismissed due to the huge number of COVID-19 vaccines administered.

There are several reasons why, but the simplest one is this: the safety signal analysis does not depend on the number of reports, but whether or not some AEs are reported at a higher rate for these vaccines than for other non-COVID vaccines. Other reasons are discussed in the full post below.

  • In August 2022, the CDC told The Epoch Times that the results of their safety signal analysis “were generally consistent with EB [Empirical Bayesian] data mining [conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)], revealing no additional unexpected safety signals.”

So either the FDA’s data mining was consistent with the CDC’s method — meaning they “generally” found the same large number of highly alarming safety signals — or the signals they did find were expected. Or they were lying. We may never know because the FDA has refused to release their data mining results.

Introduction

Finally! Zachary Stieber at The Epoch Times managed to get the CDC to release the results of its VAERS safety signal monitoring for COVID-19 vaccines, and they paint a very alarming picture.

The analyses cover VAERS reports for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from the period from the vaccine rollout on Dec. 14, 2020, through to the end of July 2022.

The CDC admitted to only having started its safety signal analysis on March 25, 2022 (coincidentally three days after a lawyer at Children’s Health Defense wrote to them reminding them about our Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] request for it).

Like me, you might be wondering why the CDC waited more than 15 months before doing its first safety signal analysis of VAERS, despite having said in a document posted to its website that it would begin in early 2021 — especially since VAERS is touted as our early warning vaccine safety system.

You might also wonder how they could insist all the while that the COVID-19 vaccines are being subjected to the most rigorous safety monitoring the world has ever known.

I’ll come back to that later. First I’m going to give a little background information on the analysis they did (which you can skip if you’re up to speed) and then describe what they found. [MORE]

The Department of Defense Rescinds its Mandate for Forced COVID Injections for All Members. 8,400 Troops were Fired for Refusing to Get Experimental Medical Treatment

From [HERE] The Department of Defense has stopped "all actions" surrounding its coronavirus vaccine mandate following its reversal through the National Defense Authorization Act.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin initiated the mandate in August 2021 and still supported it, as did President Joe Biden, while Congress decided to get rid of it by attaching it as an amendment to the NDAA, which Biden signed into law late last month.

“The NDAA requires that, not later than 30 days after enactment, the secretary of defense rescind the mandate that members of the armed forces be vaccinated against COVID-19," Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, a Department of Defense spokeswoman, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday. "As a result, the department will rescind the mandate and is currently in the process of developing further guidance. During this process, we are pausing all actions related to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate."

Roughly 8,400 troops have been separated over their refusal to get the shot.

"The health and readiness of our force are crucial to the department's ability to defend our nation, and Secretary Austin continues to encourage all of our service members, civilian employees, and contractor personnel to get vaccinated and boosted to ensure the readiness of our total force," she explained.

Plandemic’s End: Israel to Downgrade Covid to Flu Status

From [HERE] Israel is set to declare the Coronavirus pandemic over, according to Hebrew media reports.

As of Jan. 18, the country’s civilian health system will assume responsibility for conducting Covid tests in place of the Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command.

Then, on Jan. 31, SARS-CoV-2 will be categorized as an influenza-like virus, according to Kan News. The pandemic control center will be closed, and Covid patients will no longer need to be isolated.

Professor Cyrille Cohen, a member of the Health Ministry’s advisory council for clinical Covid vaccine trials, told i24NEWS that the goal was to get the virus to an “endemic” stage, where it spreads at a typical or expected rate.

“We’re hoping that our health care system can cope with these winter infections, including Covid,” said Cohen. [MORE]
