I have mentioned earlier that the real purpose of this otherwise useless masking was to:

1. Humiliate
2. Subjugate
3. Alienate
4. Isolate

Theodore Dalrymple echoes this idea:

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

And here we are.

Why? The Terrible President Trump has been gotten rid of. The People's choice of Joe, the Thief, Biden and Willie Brown's whore Kamala Harris has been installed in the White House. The CDC does not remember when it told the truth. But they convinced the sheep that they must get the "jab" which will save and deliver them.

What is to be nervous about? President Trump is gone. The People's Choice is firmly in Power. From this point forward, only good things can happen. Cheer up! The Uniparty is back in control. Lindsey [Linda] Graham will tale care of you.

On America’s Voice, last week Steve Bannon’s guest was Clay Clark. I had never heard of him, tho he has been around and known in the field he spoke on.

Everything these days are past weird.. but this Clay Clark might be telling us what we need to know.

Everything the dims/left/media/and more... do, is not to help anyone but themselves.. so they want us to get the vaccine... they are desperate for all to be vaccinated... WHY?

The borders are wide open... no one knows who is coming on or from where.
But WE are to wear masks, shutdowns, scare tactics.. WHY?

Other things going on.. weird.. treasonous, no laws for them.. steal the election and.. hey! You get to be President!

Clay Clark says this is Biblical size and important... he names names... even ministers who are in with THEM.

Take over.. Christians are in the way.. Trump is in the way... freedom is in their way...

It’s a set up.. from day one.. take over.. control.. everything is a lie... masks... death numbers.. lock downs and lock ins... control...nothing is real.. just trap after trap.

Below is a link.. just hear and let it sink.. see if it is truth to you.

Making people believe things that their intellect tells them not to is the ultimate humiliation.

It is also the goal of every totalitarian state.

Excellent. Everything has been a massive lie since at least 2015. And it has become common knowledge. It’s like some ass insanity.

“If there is a difference between neurosis and a nervous breakdown, I am unable to see it. “

A trifling criticism: Normally a nervous breakdown is taken to imply symptoms of psychosis, even if temporary, but overall this is a great treatise.

Dang- sums up perfectly what is going on- “Laurel Hubbard” about to compete in the Olympics female weight lifting competition because of the asinine lie that men can be female- and everyone just has to accept it apparently-

“Brainwashing is not primarily a technique to make prisoners of war confess to imaginary crimes and betray their country’s secrets. It is primarily a means of transforming the character structure of an entire population and of keeping that population in a permanent condition of mental subordination to the Communist state, of unhesitating belief in all that it asserts, in chronic anxiety, neurotic tension and disintegrated personality state.”*

So isn’t Gaslighting- Which the left are fully engaged in- mentally exhausting a society to the point where they think that they are guilty of the false accusations that are leveled against them

Nervous? No. Fed up? Yes.
You are either well grounded in reality or you’re not. If you’re not well grounded then it’s possible that you could be convinced that you’re about to fly away with the fairies.
I’m so sick of linguistic vomit. Gaslighting is a current example of linguistic vomit. Brainwashing. Lieing. Those are more true descriptions. Does the term gaslighting, derived from a decades old movie, make it more palatable? Does everything need to fit throught some sort of nuance filter? What’s the difference between ‘Your hair is undergoing a form of very rapid oxidation that may hazardous to your health.’ and ‘Your hair’s on fire!’ They both convey the same information. One does not convey the urgency of the situation. It is the truth in fact but a lie in principle.
You can live in reality or in the nuanced fairy world of dissenters and distorters. Confrontation is the key. Accept the pap they try to feed you or confront those that attempt to distort an confuse for their own nefarious purposes. Liars can’t stand the truth.
Off my soapbox now.

Men can be women and women can be men. Along with dozens of other variations. If you say otherwise, you’re just an evil bigot.
