And Now The Target Is Mother’s Day
Issues & Insights ^ | 12 May, 2023 | Armando Simón

In an earlier piece I wrote that although I initially had the same Pavlovian response to the phrase “conspiracy theories” as everyone and sneered at anything so labeled, I had slowly come to the conclusion that such things do exist. After all, we, the peasants, do not sit in on meetings between CEOs of multinational companies, nor in meetings of diplomats and politicians to enforce policies, nor in board rooms of the media deciding which stories to suppress and which to promote. Nor do they ask us, the rabble, for our input. After all, coordination in a complex society is absolutely necessary and the elites do not broadcast their actions or decisions. As such, “conspiracies” (i.e., agreements, plans, accords) have always existed throughout history.

Their effectiveness depends on secrecy. If these things are known to be in effect, one can be conscious of them and put up resistance, if necessary.

I wrote that there was one telltale sign that pointed to “conspiracy theories” being at work. It is what I call the Principle of Simultaneity. In their eagerness to promote a policy and in their arrogance, simultaneous manifestations or attacks will occur.

For example, in Gamergate, in a three-day period, 19 articles came out bashing players and praising anti-gamer social justice warriors (SJWs). Some days later, 12 anti-gamer articles were published on the same day. Likewise, in 1990, for the fall season in television, all of a sudden, homosexual characters pervaded the programs; even characters who had been obvious heterosexuals in the previous season were now portrayed as being gay, with no explanation given. Then, last year, we suddenly had drag queens, drag queens, drag queens, drag queens, in schools and public libraries.

Those are not coincidences.

Now, we are seeing another bizarre message starting to saturate the culture. Mother’s Day is a holiday that most of us hold dear. But, following the fate of Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, Columbus Day, and Independence Day, it too has now come under attack by liberals, albeit in a subtle form, and declared an equally traumatic event.

Kay Jewelers, Kroger, Fry’s Food Store, Kay Jewelrers, Door Dash, Hallmark, Nespresso, Levi’s, Ancestry.com, Buy Buy Baby, Etsy, Cartier, Levain Bakery, Uncommon Goods, Canvas on Demand, Keto Chow, Beauty Counter, Stitch Fix, Thomas Sabo, Mac, Milk and Honey Spa simultaneously sent out an email to their customers apologizing for Mother’s Day, using the same identical language, namely that Mother’s Day can be traumatic to some people and they may get triggered if the holiday is mentioned, that the company is sensitive to those poor souls in pain and that they can opt out of any messages from companies that mention that terribly traumatic event.

The degree of coordination in such conspiracies is, as always, impressive.

But also note that the customers for many of these companies are women, and the companies are essentially spitting on the face of mothers. The same thing happened with Gillette and Bud Lite towards men and Maybelline towards women; they spit on the face of their customers and apparently expected to be praised for it.

This is not a coincidence. It is a conspiracy....

It is just the next target in the marxist destruction of the norms of society.

Just say no to participation in this nonsense. We’ll speak our way and they can speak their way. Eventually, they’ll be a small isolated community that people deliberately avoid, like their filthy cities.

Secret top down coordination of a message or narrative is a conspiracy by definition.

Personally, I always found Mother’s and Father’s Day to be somewhat coercive, cheap commercialization.

It’s like when Tucker Carlson and others would frequently have a montage of politicians, talking heads on all the networks and cable stations, columnists, and reports, all saying or writing the exact same phrases. No one can convince me that this happens by accident or that someone writes these things and everyone else thinks at the exact same time, “Wow that’s a great phrase, we’ll use that too”. Why does everyone report the same stories and ignore the same stories?

The scripted brainwashing works on viewers of CNN and MSNBC

Rush was the master at exposing this media collusion. I remember back when GWB2 was running for POTUS. This is when the term “Gravitas” became widely known overnight. As in GWB had no gravitas and I believe they were saying that Dick Cheney (spit) provided gravitas to the ticket. Every single media outlet, in 100% lockstep, verbally defecated the term “gravitas” about bush.

“I don’t have a mom or my mom wasn’t nice, so nobody should be allowed to have Mother’s Day.” - Stupid, whiny, selfish, immature liberal

Then I hope you take your mom and dad out to eat at least once a week.

The ruling class hates anything that inspires loyalty other than the state. Including your mother.

I suddenly realized how weird that sounds just before posting, but let it stand. The world is very weird right now.

That is pretty much it. I don’t know what this current generation is called, I don’t care to keep up with all the designations, but I call punks like this the “ME” generation.

They’ve been complaining about Mother’s Day for decades. The lady that pushed for Mother’s Day hated it before she died. For the same reason many Christians hate what Christmas has turned into. Commercialization gets rid of sentiment. She wanted a day for people to tell their moms how awesome they were. What we have is a day when you’re supposed buy your mom jewelry and take her to a restaurant. We replaced love and respect with $$$.
