ON BICKERING

Finding foxholes in the disinformation battlefield

This is a 5-part post ─ the first inadvertently leading to the second, and so on. Don’t worry, they’re short sections, totaling just over 4,000 words.

PART 1

A friend recently asked my viewpoint on a comment by Michael Yeadon at the Substack of Jo Waller.

The issue involved is compelling: an information sharer accusing other information sharers of misapprehension ─ or worse ─ duplicity and malevolence.

Waller’s post (May 15) is titled “The WEF agenda of depopulation and control is a ridiculous hoax ─ the real agenda is far, far worse.” (link) (note: on 6-23-24 I see she’s changed the title)

Yeadon’s comment focused on how a depopulation agenda might relate to lethal harms observed following Covid-19 injections.

Her assertions which apparently caused his comments were of the following order:

“The WEF agenda by evil elites is clearly a ridiculous hoax. The ‘covid’ scam (there was no pandemic there was no virus, novel, lab leaked nor otherwise) and the mRNA jabs mark the pinnacle of the global dominance of big pharma and its capture of regulation and collusion with big tech. However, there is no evidence of depopulation, only of income generation.

This misconception of depopulation has been deliberately used to lead health freedom into belief in a conspiracy by eugenists; somehow making out that environmentalists are the inheritors of the white supremacist notion of population control to conserve resources.”

Yeadon writes:

Jo, we are not in disagreement. All you write about an attempted return to neofeudalism is correct. Also called neocolonialism, we in the West are every bit as much the targets as the poor, global south, potentially more so.

You are not correct about the intent to kill a high % of the world’s population. No amount of repetition will alter my opinion about this.

I have never said “the depopulation agenda is complete, or nearly so”. On the contrary, I’ve explicitly stated that, using all information available to me, we’ve witnessed the establishment of important aspects of the totalitarian digital control system and depopulation methods.

Yeadon’s tone seeks to find common ground, whereas Waller’s tone is that of a know it all who is fed up with others “not getting it.”

Another Waller post (May 12) is titled “Health freedom are blatantly lying, misleading and profiteering ─ and it's not just Malone, it's Yeadon, Smalley and Cowan too”. (link)

So, now people from the “health freedom movement” are not only tricked by WEF but are misleading others AND profiteering! And Yeadon is one of the ringleaders.

Lurid stuff, to be sure!

Her basic premise seems to be that “health freedomers” have conflated depopulation eugenics with the conservation movement, climate change concerns, and green energy policies, thus perceiving these latter issues as veiled attempts to curtail freedoms and kill people.

No movement is monolithic, and to put forth such a description is to play the same game the cabal has foisted upon us for many decades: Republican vs. Democrat; conservative vs. liberal; isolationist vs. war hawk.

Normal people are encumbered with morals and ideologies. The psychopathic cabal are guided by one metric: money. It is their sword and shield, and raison d’etre.

The globalists own the media, rendering any topic you see promoted vigorously as suspect.

The conservation-climate-green body of information has thousands of errors, miscalculations and deceptions, yet it’s in your face all week long. To say that many disagree is not much of a statement.

Waller has some good information to share but seems to want to explain all else in the process.

She writes:

“the threat to our future does not come from China, communism, the UN, renewables, YNH nor plant based burgers.”

Let me run through these:

Actually, China is a problem: The US was harnessed industrially to participate in WW2. After the war the cabal made more trillions from “the consumer society.” Then they shipped most industry to China to weaken the US for domination – a process we are in the midst of. A large nation must have a vibrant industrial base.

Communism: This is our administrative state, which lords it over the common man and leaves the cabal and their giant corporations undisturbed.

The UN: The UN was a creature of the globalists at its birth and to this day. It’s extremely dangerous.

Renewables: Wind and solar power are sick jokes. Hydrocarbons are renewable. Further excellent energy sources have been secreted from the public.

Plant-based burgers … are unnatural and unhealthy and fortunately no one likes them.

YNH (Yuval Noah Harari) has stated that “free will – that’s over.” No one at Davos shushed him, or cringed, or asked him to apologize. I consider that a problem. By the way, it’s not new anyway, since John D. Rockefeller said, about a hundred years ago, “The day of combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return.”

I will be charitable and say Waller has tunnel vision focused on her adopted concerns, and not tag her as a useful idiot or deception agent ─ which she doesn’t mind labeling others.

Deceptions abound, and there do exist false prophets. We are all victims of a highly sophisticated form of mental and physical warfare featuring the cabal vs. humanity.

Yeadon offered to find common ground and I will do the same: We should all be skeptical about many things. Nearly every salient element of society is contaminated by the cabal’s compulsion for theft and control. The deceptions are so broad and deep that no one can be 100% sure of anything. Offer up what you can, but please respect others’ efforts.

The false pandemic awakened many, and the already-existing health freedom movement has swelled massively. Each individual has their own trigger point to becoming a skeptic, and such a shift in perception should be honored and nurtured. There is much to be done.

Waller says poverty is the issue ─ there is no depopulation agenda.

What is the leading cause of death in the world? POVERTY!! This depopulation project has been active for centuries.

Waller quibbles about WEF motives. To me, this is like someone in the city being demolished by Godzilla saying, “He’s not trying to kill us, he just doesn’t like traffic noise!”

She tags Davos as “a vanity project where rich people go to virtue signal”, dismissing them as a toddler’s bogeyman. The most frightening aspect of Davos and Bilderberg is public office holders attending secret meetings in venues bristling with armed police and elite military gunslingers. Public servants shouldn’t be confabbing with corporate titans in the lap of luxury, with a “none of your business” agenda.

She claims the misled and mischanneled “health freedomers” are cushioning the excesses of the US military.

Katherine Watt and Sasha Latypova have carefully explained how our Department of Defense has planned (for years) and implemented the injection genocide upon the population it is sworn to protect. I consider that bedrock information and don’t see how it covers for military misbehavior.

By the way, Sasha Latypova has a collegial relationship with Michael Yeadon.

PART 2

During the time of pondering Jo Waller’s abrasive claims, I encountered this essay:

(link)

The National Health Federation is a wonderful ally for citizens who value their physical autonomy. I would recommend your joining and supporting them (only $45/year). The NHF is the only non-State participant in the Codex Alimentarius Commission deliberations which, since 1963, have attempted to dictate what nutrients mankind will be ALLOWED to consume.

Codex is part of the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), which is sort of a WHO for food (buttinsky assholes). If allowed, they would set guidelines for insect-eating, or set caps for vitamin C usage ─ by prescription only. Definite candidates for the gallows. Here are three links if you want to learn more:

https://www.coreysdigs.com/food-supply-chain/inside-codex-with-scott-tips-new-global-food-diet-insects-rats-and-dogs/

https://educate-yourself.org/cn/codexalimentarius15jan09.shtml

http://www.whale.to/b/damato.html

Here is the first sentence from the essay:

Sadly, the editors of the Scientific American – long captured by the pharmaceutical industry and the medical cartel – have recently published an editorial calling for even greater regulation of nutraceuticals.

Apparently, the answer to “when” is “well before recently” ─ certainly before the bajillion LIES of the $camdemic.

The Sci-Am piece conveys some of the following ideas:

Congress should empower the Food and Drug Administration to start treating these products (as well as vitamins and mineral supplements) more like drugs.

<> 

FDA approval is typically a years-long process and involves many phases of research and testing…

<> 

It is understandable people would think these products are safe and effective. After all, many sit in pharmacies next to over-the-counter drugs. Nutraceutical companies certainly benefit from this confusion.

Everyone who educates him/herself about natural health supplements knows that the FDA makes a dog’s dinner out of everything it touches. The FDA years long thorough testing motif is a paid‑for LIE. It’s simply a money barrier for the little guy. And anyone shopping for nutraceuticals, when seeing them “next to” big pharma crap, would probably go to another store.

Recent information from Katherine Watt about FDA testing falsehoods – (link)

The NHF piece offers the following:

The list of deadly prescription drugs is nearly endless, and they are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States and Europe. And approximately one-half of those who died were actually taking their drugs according to their doctor’s exact directions.

<> 

The 39th annual report from the American Association of Poison Control Centers (APCC) shows zero deaths from vitamins. (emphasis in original)

<> 

… at least two-thirds of the U.S. population takes daily nutritional supplements … for a total of well over 80 billion doses annually (Ed. If each person took only 1 vitamin) … Since many persons take far more than just one single vitamin tablet … the safety of vitamin supplements is all the more remarkable.

<> 

Supplements are already safer than water and aspirin …

I’m 75 years old. There was a time when most folks would say, “Who in the heck is Scott Tips to say the Scientific American magazine is not scientific?”

Not now! The cabal changed all that with the COVIDEXCUSEFORFASCISMCRIME by putting THEIR compulsion to control on full display the world round. Tens of millions of us witnessed the harnessing of legacy mouthpieces to sell insanity as necessity.

Now, a nobody like me can point out that poison control center stats show no vitamin deaths, and say Sci-Am must be full of shit, and 30 million people will believe it.

PART 3

Stimulated by Scott Tips’ dressing down of Sci-Am, I then found this 5,000-word essay with the same complaint at City Journal:

(link)

This journal is published by The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, founded by Antony Fisher and William J. Casey in 1978. Casey headed the CIA 1981-1987 and Fisher is a founding member of the ultra‑exclusive Mont Pelerin Society.

Such men, dear reader, view you as something between a lab rat and a worm, but don't let that distract you. Our overarching topic is bickering, and to navigate bickering you have to find what you can, where you can. How can I trust what this essay says? I can’t and I don’t. I will decide, as will you. In the absence of a trusted source, trust yourself.

The essay begins by discussing Michael Shermer, who had a monthly column at Sci-Am from 2001 to 2018. He was beginning to experience ideological restrictions applied to his submissions. He wrote a piece explaining that a smaller percentage of sexually abused children grow to become abusers themselves than is commonly imagined. It was rejected because it “might undermine the seriousness of the problem”.

The next month his column was going to discuss the ways in which racial and gender discrimination have lessened in recent times.

For progressives, admitting that any problem—racism, pollution, poverty—has improved means surrendering the rhetorical high ground.

<> 

Shermer dug his grave deeper by quoting Manhattan Institute fellow Heather Mac Donald and The Coddling of the American Mind authors Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, who argue that the rise of identity-group politics undermines the goal of equal rights for all. Shermer wrote that intersectional theory, which lumps individuals into aggregate identity groups based on race, sex, and other immutable characteristics, “is a perverse inversion” of Martin Luther King’s dream of a color-blind society. For Shermer’s editors, apparently, this was the last straw. The column was killed and Shermer’s contract terminated.

Well, that’s not very scientific. Comically, the City Journal has now written about the aggregate identity group “progressives” in a tone which lobbies for possession of the rhetorical high ground.

Classic bickering.

Take a step back, and remember the issue: “Is the Scientific American journal being scientific?”

Take a step back to earlier in this post and consider: “Health freedom are blatantly lying, misleading and profiteering”.

You can find solid ground using your own rationality. You needn’t convince the “other camp” of your findings early on. Also, you’ll probably disagree with your perceived allies at a more granular level of any given topic. Let it go.

I agree with the two foregoing quotes, even though I can make fun of them. That’s me, and you don’t need to agree. Whenever you get confused, return to simplicity: Good vs. Evil.

“Lately journalists have been behaving more like lawyers,” Shermer says, “marshaling evidence in favor of their own view and ignoring anything that doesn’t help their argument.”

Very important, although I would replace “lately” with “over a hundred years ago”.

Sadly, the new woke style of science journalism reframes factual scientific debates as ideological battles, with one side presumed to be morally superior.

I agree – not good. However, I would just call it LYING and suspect City Journal has done their share over the years.

I have a suggestion:

Scientific American’s increasing engagement in politics drew national attention in late 2020, when the magazine, for the first time in its 175-year history, endorsed a presidential candidate.

Holy Chihuahua!  And to dispel the notion that I am plugging Trump, I hate ALL the US Presidents. Yes, Lincoln too – he made more changes toward fascism than any other single “commander in chief”. Just ask Thomas DiLorenzo.

You know they’re all cousins, going back to King John (the Magna Carta dude), right? (link)

Scientists and journalists aren’t known for being shrinking violets. What makes them tolerate this enforced conformity? The intimidation described above is one factor. Academia and journalism are both notoriously insecure fields; a single accusation of racism or anti-trans bias can be a career ender.

Now the essayist can’t even agree with himself – not shrinking violets, yet insecure. And – would not scientists and journalists be two aggregate identity groups? My head is starting to hurt.

Next, the author quotes from a recent paper about scientific censorship (link).

Popular narratives suggest that scientific censorship is driven by authoritarian officials with dark motives, such as dogmatism and intolerance. Our analysis suggests that scientific censorship is often driven by scientists, who are primarily motivated by self-protection, benevolence toward peer scholars, and prosocial concerns for the well-being of human social groups.

This is laughable. NO MENTION OF MONEY.

The cabal decided in the early 1800s that the US would have two political parties, which would be made to appear as different, but … you can guess the rest.

The City Journal is “conservative”, and we are reading an essay by them nitpicking the “progressives” (aka liberals or left). This left-right dichotomy is peddled to us endlessly; to distract us from the one metric the cabal apply to all human affairs: $$$$$$$

It’s clear that C-J doesn’t want to broach the money topic either ─ so, they’re assholes too, along with everyone else who LIES to us all the livelong day. Yet, I will glean helpful information wherever I can find it.

The essay brings attention to a May 2023 Sci-Am article entitled “What Are Puberty Blockers, and How Do They Work?”

(Ed. First sentence) Decades of data support the use and safety of puberty-pausing medications, which give transgender adolescents and their families time to weigh important medical decisions.

<> 

(Ed. Third paragraph) But despite the evidence for the safety and efficacy of puberty-delaying treatments, some lawmakers across the U.S. have spread false claims about the drugs and other gender-affirming treatments as part of their efforts to ban or severely restrict access to health care for transgender people.

They’ve quickly strayed from the title “what are they … how do they work”. Although I regard the bulk of Federal and State legislation as crap, I don’t look to Sci-Am for my parliamentary guidance.

Near the end of this idiotic promo for transgender malpractice they let slip a scientific fact:

Nearly one in four transgender people are autistic, compared with one in 20 cisgender people …

This is one of the cruelest secrets of the trans psyop: predation upon the autistic. Gender meddling with a brain damaged child is like teaching German to someone who is struggling with English (or vice versa). It’s not helpful.

Let’s wrap this up:

We live in an era when scientific claims underpin huge swaths of public policy, from Covid to climate to health care for vulnerable youths. It has never been more vital to subject those claims to rigorous debate.

Undeniable ─ and clearly stated.

The $camdemic worked because most people are not doctors or virologists.

BUT … the decent, ordinary folk of the world have witnessed a scale of LYING heretofore unimaginable. We were told to “follow the science” week in and week out. I say let’s not quibble (bicker?) about the Sci-Am magazine and just say this: science itself has turned into a steaming pile of dung, driven by hidden interests, mountains of money, and morally weak “experts” who are bribed with ease, and leave in their wake a cacophony of bickerers.

PART 4

Last month (May 2024) Scientific American featured an 1,800 word editorial entitled:

(no link - behind paywall)

Apparently, Sci-Am Is going to straighten us out as to what reality is. This would be very helpful in today's contentious atmosphere.

The first sentence is “The U.S. is bracing for another summer of powerful storms and wildfires …”

How in the damn hell do they know that? And how exactly do wildfires and rainstorms coexist? I think what they mean is “The U.S. is bracing for another summer of the CIA and the trillionaires trying to scare the bejesus out of everyone, so we curl up in the fetal position and do exactly as they say.”

The second paragraph begins with “With the presumptive Republican presidential nominee falsely calling …” So, another plug for Biden, in case you forgot who to vote for.

The third paragraph begins “Overcoming the mounting harm from the parade of con artists gaslighting the public won’t be easy. More scientists and journalists must help clarify how right-wing ideologues have twisted science and weaponized anti-reality.”

Yeah, we need those scientists and journalist who stewarded us through the Covid crisis to keep us rooted in reality ─ the reality of bickering LIARS running amok.

Then, the writer bangs on about climate shit, racial shit, LGBTTIQQ2SAPDOQS shit – the usual trendy stuff.

Later, comes this gem of a claim: “Anti-reality activists are also weaponizing a principle of journalism—to tell both sides of a story—to advance their message.”

Let me explain. The American Academy of Pediatrics (Est. 1930 – Members 67,000) promotes “gender-affirming care”, e.g. hormone doping and teenage girl breast removal (and endorses the fiendish childhood vaccination schedule which is causing the autism epidemic in the US). The American College of Pediatricians (Est. 2002 – Members 700) has requested its disagreeing stance be heard, in the interest of “balance”.  The Sci-Am writer is appalled ─ why, this is black-hearted conniving of the lowest sort!

In further irony, Sci-Am, fearless defender of minorities (aka small groups), is lashing out at the second pediatric assembly, 1% the size of the former, as if it were a full‑scale alien invasion force.

One last excerpt: “Simply fighting their lies with data, however, may be a losing proposition, especially when they insist that they too deal with facts, not feelings, while doing the precise opposite.”

I agree. This is the arena we must adapt to. It’s tough, but doable. Take heart, and plod ahead. You’ll be right most of the time. I always look for sincerity. Manipulative writing usually has a certain odor to it.

PART 5

Also, during the time of working on this post, I encountered one of those stupid slide shows that appear on Microsoft Network’s browser page, titled “How to Spot a Fascist: 18 Telltale Traits.”

Since almost anyone is vulnerable to being called a fascist these days, I figured this was fertile ground for bickering. Let's look into it.

Arnie’s definition of fascism:

The cancerous infiltration of a nation’s governmental apparatus by monied interests, resulting in outsize benefits diverting to the tiny group, at the expense and debilitation of the citizenry at large – the fruits of society stolen, with no punishment for the thieves.

Here is the list of 18 characteristics of fascism:

1.      Powerful Nationalism

2.      Disdain for Human Rights

3.      Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats

4.      Supremacy of the Military

5.      Rampant Sexism

6.      Controlled Mass Media

7.      Obsession with National Security

8.      Religion and Government Intertwined

9.      Protecting Corporate Power

10. Labor Power Suppressed

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts

12. Belief in Conspiracy Theories

13. Obsession with Crime and Punishment

14. Cronyism and Corruption

15. Fraudulent Elections

16. Selective Populism

17. Obsession with Community Decline

18. Use of Patriotic Slogans and Symbols

Please don’t get distracted by what I think in the following section. Disagree with gusto! The point is identifying arenas for bickering.

I consider the foregoing a thinly veiled attack on those who are unhappy with current affairs. This is a guilt by association list, and I have boldened the four issues I believe to be under attack, like one of those “which thing doesn’t belong?” puzzles.

Rampant Sexism: The Bidenites are full throttle in pledging their undying empathy to the supposed sexually misunderstood, which involves reminding us all of every form of unusual private behavior. It’s in your face 24/7. However, the “rampant sexists” are those who find this distasteful, annoying, or unnecessary. Ergo – fascists.

Religion and Government Intertwined: The Trumpskys are often criticized for being Christians, because, you know, Christians are well known to be heartless bigots. This line of reasoning is based more upon Hulu’s 55 episode The Handmaids Tale than reality. I’ve also seen comparisons to the Taliban, to get people riled. Sorry, but the Taliban were a creature of the CIA and the British SIS. There does not exist a natural melding of religion and fascism. The notion is part of the decades‑long war against Christianity. The individual believer, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, whatever, is nettlesome to the cabal, who want us to worship the State.

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Bickering alert! Arnie rant alert! This is an old cliché which is true yet not true. For starters, fascists want to control everything, so naturally that would include intellectuals and artists. Big deal. What I don't like about this is that intellectuals and artists participated in the condescending portrayal of factory rats, grease monkeys, and hay seeds for decades, and now we live in a nation with a gutted industrial base and agriculture in crisis. Greedy corporations make lousy farmers. Men and women who know how to build things and fix things are – guess what? – indispensable! This cliché of elevated refinement also reminds me of the years ago notion that Negroes didn't mind sweating in the cotton fields all day long. A good number of wealthier and smarter folk think that lesser endowed individuals don't mind their discomforts that much ─ after all, they're used to it. What is an intellectual but someone who thinks they're smarter than other people and reads stuff by other people who think they're smarter than other people. So what. I myself have done this in my more impressionable years, and it turns out I'm not that clever, and far too often a real dumbass. Of course, everyone knows artists are more sensitive than the rest of us, yes? Bullshit. All God’s children are sensitive, and suffer, and hope for a better day ─ and know when they are being lorded over and ripped off.

Obsession with Community Decline: This one gives the game away and shows this purported information piece is disingenuous propaganda.  Have you ever met anyone who was nonchalant about community decline? Using the word “obsession” just calls attention to the attempt to manipulate.

I am red‑hot angry about homelessness. In a world of billionaires and trillionaires NO ONE SHOULD BE HOMELESS. To pile on, the cabal have stimulated ILLEGAL immigration and provided food and shelter and health care for same. This is what #17 is alluding to.

This is from a recent post by Corey Lynn (link):

Illegal immigrants have been flooding into the U.S. for years, currently costing American taxpayers over $150 billion a year to assist them with housing, food, medical needs, in-state tuition, and more. That translates to every taxpayer contributing nearly $1,000 per year for this invasion. A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2024 report suggests that between 2005-2019 the government spent $457.2 billion on refugees and asylees. And people wonder why their property taxes and state taxes are going through the roof.

She also mentions how criminal asset managers like BlackRock are buying up single family homes with an eye for pricing US citizens out of home ownership. This could easily be stopped, but, you know … FASCISM.

It’s time for your host, Arnie, to sign off. Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to write me and good luck in your own research. God bless!
