Great article. I really have no animosity toward the jabbed family members because none of them were hostile toward me. I have been shunning them to try to get them to understand the direness of our situation, even before COVID. The 2020 election debacle was the last straw for me in a decades long struggle to try to save our country. The world functions because most people follow the rules most of the time. They trust the basic functions of their societies. What they have been struggling to realize, and I cannot blame them, is that our country is completely fucked up and managed by a criminal syndicate. Believing that requires one to adopt a revolutionary stance and that is a bridge too far for most everyone. That is our job. I believe we un-jabbed need to be the leaders in the emerging new world because we are the innovators, the revolutionaries. We need to drag them along because we love them. We must do the heavy lifting. That is our burden and our opportunity.
I agree, and your point that we're the leaders and revolutionaries better explains my "feeling superior" ie it's more a recognition of the role I'm being asked to play in this mega-drama. Indeed, both a "burden and an opportunity."
But I'm needing to understand how "shunning" family members can "get them to understand." ?
This is really good, Joanie. No easy answers, of course. Since I saw from some other comments somewhere that you appreciate good music, and since here you're talking here about people feeling like rape victims, I think you'd enoy what I wrote a few months ago about a song from a newer folkish rock group, Weyes Blood, particularly since it links to and quotes a Naomi Wolf piece about people feeling violated by the whole Covid/Vax Disaster. Wolf often paywalls her stuff after a bit, so you might not be able to read the whole essay in question, but if you don't know about Weyes Blood, you're in for a treat! https://pomocon.substack.com/p/carls-rock-songbook-no-134-weyes
Thank you, Guy, for your very thoughtful contribution to this discussion. I will, however, counter a couple of the points you raise:
First, that Jesus was not all Kumbayah. This was evidenced by his tirade in the church turned into a marketplace; anger has its function in providing the emotional energy required to overturn the enemy. Similarly, Lord Krishna counselled Arjuna to not shrink from fighting necessary battles. In my own case it was seething anger that motivated me to take fruitful action that gave rise to a visible and ongoing resistance movement in our own community. It was my righteous rage that led me to do that.
Second; I don't buy that "fear" was the blanket reason for majority compliance. I think it was mostly about virtue-signalling. About being "too good for 'conspiracy theories'." Not to mention foolish adherence to sanctified "science" (ie $cience). I think that I, as one so imprinted by Donald Sutherland's character in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, have harboured more fear than all of those shrinking, mask-wearing covidiots. Yes, they are idiots to have fallen for such brazen propaganda.
But oh my good God, I cannot begin to comprehend the minds of your friends with autistic children, who knew the source of their afflictions, yet took the kool-aid. That is the absolute craziest thing I've heard yet.
And yes, it all has to come to love, but shortcuts aren't viable, I don't think. I myself have practiced, and later taught, meditation since my teens. But there's a time for love, and a time for hate, a time for peace, a time for war etc. God grant us the wisdom to know the difference.
I understand what you are saying; personally I have a lot of disdain, even outright contempt for many people I formerly respected. VaxxFest (TM Mark Oshinskie) was indeed a revelation. But as far as taking an injection goes, I also recognize that there, but for the Grace of the Divine, go I. Many people got vaxxed only because they were naive: they did not comprehend that Emergency Use Authorization is not the same as approved, that there was never a corona virus vaccination because corona viruses constantly mutate, and to deny natural immunity is just, well, kookoo (obviously, one could write a book about how kookoo the whole thing was from the get-go). So many people took the injections because they totally believed whatever the CDC told them-- and their doctors-- and the TV and the press-- and who among us, including myself, has not, at some point in life, fallen for a deception? That was quite whopper of a deception, after all. But OK, some good people, including doctors and nurses who should have known better, fell for it.
What I truly have contempt for however is insisting that other people take a medical procedure against their will, and denying those who didn't want that medical procedure their civil and human rights. That is criminal. And may those who committed such crimes be held accountable before the law.
As for ex-friends and family members who think they did nothing wrong in insisting other people take an injection against their will, or do know now but won't apologize, well, they have to live with themselves. I do not wish them ill, I wish them well, actually, but I'm more interested in living my own best life, than in bothering to think about them.
Transcriber B, this is so well put. Your comment shows a deeper and very important insight; that the naivety factor caught them completely off guard.
I commented somewhere else a few weeks ago, that I've regretted the outrage I couldn't help conveying in trying to communicate what I knew (both in my gut and through my non-msm information sources). My fear was not of the virus but of their terrifyingly insistent credulousness. But had I been capable of a more gently questioning tone, it's possible I'd have got through to them. It's hard to acknowledge that my un-checked emotions, justified as they were (and are) likely only drove them further into the enemy's clutches. A case of my reactivity pushing them further away.
Thank you for opening the door for me to remember this. It's a lesson I've obviously not yet learned.
You put it so well: "My fear was not of the virus but of their terrifyingly insistent credulousness."
Honestly I don't think there was ANY way to get through to 99.99% of the people who were wanting, so very much wanting, to get vaxxed. It was utter madness. Not anything within the realm of normal discussion. I remember thinking at the time, I wow, don't want to forget how crazed they are, because later I'm going feel like I woulda coulda shoulda said this or that or whatever, but really, truly, they have no ears, they cannot hear anything. They are mad.
Sigh... Substack now won't let me edit this comment and I see a typo. Here goes again:

I agree the inability to edit is frustrating at times especially for perfectionists like us. But I often notice typos in articles by the "big names" here and recognize they're just pumping out so much content... we won't split hairs here. Example; Jeff Childers... today's article from him is one of his very best regardless of a few typos.
Fear of death. Turns off the frontal Cortex where you are able to think critically.
Thanks you both, from your discussion here, I think I am finally accepting that people cannot function when they are afraid of dying...and thus are to be pitied.
Thank you both. I think I can now, instead of being angry, at least feel pity.
The fear was overwhelming. They would have done anything to bring their fear levels down.....if I didn't know about (or beleive) in HCQ and Antibiotics, and then ivermectin, I would probably have been just as terrified.....
so yes, I pity them. Their frontal cortexes just flipped off....and I have learned how
Right. But I couldn't fathom how they fell for it in the first place. Any actual pandemic would have translated to direct experience of many, many family and friends falling ill. Instead when queried, one would only hear of someone's uncle's friend type of thing. It was so damn obvious that nothing was really happening.
Because you were still thinking of them as human....they weren't. They became less than human... just lizard brains....even when queried...they couldn't connect what they were seeing because they had too much fear...Paralyzes the brain.
Goebbels proved it. Make them afraid, and they will commit atrocities..they couldn't translate their direct experience because that requires REASON...which won't function when in a fear state
and they are still in fear, those who took the jabs.......like the good germans, who shut their windows and turned up the music so they wouldn't hear the trains going by....
It was their utter lack of love of family/friendship, in jeering at us for daring to think other than what we were having shoved in our faces. That our reasoning and copious evidence counted for nothing...
I am not as charitable as you are...Iwish I were...but I cannot forgive. I wish them no harm, but further than that, wishing them well is beyond me right now....
Hi Libor, thanks for being here... but having viewed and read your "morocco" post I'm quite confused as to who you are and for whom you speak. Photos are gorgeous though.
Okay, tried to read it again and I just have too many points of confusion. This isn't the 50s and 60s that I grew up in... to me, it doesn't help to revive these narratives of racism, where for the most part they died out after the Civil Rights Movement, not to mention the global diaspora of all races and ethnicities. With due respect for your own experiences whilst travelling.
I don't feel superior, I was like Bill Masen in Day of the Triffids, I didn't go blind with the green shooting stars as my eyes were wrapped in bandages.
I have a serious drug allergy so didn't take the covid vaccine as I couldn't be shooting up something I'm allergic to, how would I get it out?! I feel sorry for those who took it, you should be able to trust your government to not kill you.
I read your article with much interest and will be catching up on some of your past ones...
I'm less impressed with that song's lyrics (I need a more accusational, judgemental tone!) than I am with its quite gorgeous musical arrangement (is there a better word than "arrangement"?).
That said, we want all the rock music on our side we can get! It's been unfathomable to me, the cowardly compliance of 99.999% of the musicians of my day, who were all about counterculture.
Gave us boomers a bad name within the contemporary Resistance.
Thank you Joanie, for the nice authentic writing. I have come to see, as the biggest subplot within the story we are acting in – the play's the thing to catch the conscious of the king – is for a great awakening into the teaching of Christ and Buddha: compassion through love. This is our chance to become aware how our silence for all the small betrayals of trust we saw and/or experienced contributed to the massive kill off. Evil grows when at the earliest signs of it, we say or do nothing. This evil we are now seeing is the manifestation of our and our forefather's remaining silent to its subtler and more attractive forms, be they fake medical treatments, fake foods, disrespect for healthy farming practices, unhealthy work practices, the rise of MBA-woke ideology in our business practices, the failure to stop war as economic necessity, allowing the religions of economics as disembodied truth kill hundreds of millions. We were the enemy, and we didn't see that. Now is the opportunity to see and understand, that we have now met the enemy, and the the enemy is us.
When we engage in shunning, anger, contempt, judgment, we are actually feeding the energy that got us here in the first place! That is the real lesson, I think. This is an opportunity to become spiritually aware of Christ and Buddha: compassion and love are the weapons that dissolve the divide, end the war. LoL! Sounds so easy.
Steve Kirsch asked how to red-pill the zombies. Your observation that your behaviour wasn't helpful is correct. The zombies are filled with fear, and anything that will feed or confirm that fear will deepen the divide by pushing them further into the sympathetic system. When in fear, the rational brain is disengaged. Logical argument is about as useful as a cat meowing at them. They will not hear anything and will be stuck on the fear you are exacerbating by language tone or bodily agitation. Be love and that has the slight hope of allowing the fear to ease in them enough to allow a bit of blood back into the parasympathetic system. Only then can a conversation resume. If curious, see "Steve Kirsch asked "What are the best ways to red-pill someone?" My answer" here https://gduperreault.substack.com/p/thoughts-covid-reset-yogic-and-uncategorised/comments.
As to their futures? Delusion knows no bounds and is always the other person's problem. And from Twain, It is far easier to trick someone than it is to show them that they have been tricked.
What I find the most remarkable are how 90% of the people who had complete distrust in the government and/or the medical system walked up and got jabbed. Amazing. A good friend whose son became autistic after vaccination, who I *knew* wouldn't take the 'vaccine' did. Yup. 'Of course,' she said. Doh! I had listened to her talk about the evil of vaccines, along with another friend who swears his son also became autistic post vaccine, for 10 years. Amazing.
So, to be a bit of an asshole. Not even pity. Love. And with that, joy. Those energies may be enough to help the zombies and almost zombies. Pity is not quite the energy that will do it. Shakespeare comments on that with great eloquence in 12th Night:
Re "Perhaps it’s divine justice that the vast majority of earthlings now must live with cruel awareness of what they’ve allowed to be done to themselves."
Very sadly yes. Time and time again we were warned and now the chickens have come home to roost. The storm must therefore be weathered for the duration.
Re "GB News commentator Neil Oliver (while interviewing Eva Vlaardingerbroek), aired this postulate: “I have a theory that no one’s been changed by the events of the last few years. I think that individuals’ true natures have simply been revealed … or even exposed. I think we’re seeing people for who they truly are and it’s been a fascinating revelatory time, I would say.”
This is correct, this is the end time scenario that the New Testament speaks of, the revealing of mankind's hearts, the sorting of wheat from tares, good and bad fish.
Wow. This really struck a chord with me -Quote: GB News commentator Neil Oliver (while interviewing Eva Vlaardingerbroek), aired this postulate: “I have a theory that no one’s been changed by the events of the last few years.

That is something I have yet to internalize...hope that they are just brainwashed, blah blah blah still rings in my brain, because I don't want to BELEIVE that the vast majority of people are like this.
But I KNOW in my heart this rings true.
I think Agatha Christie remarked once..."if you marry someone who likes to play the tuba in the attic, make sure you like tuba...because the older they get, the more they are gonna play the tuba in the attic."...or something to the effect that if you love someone, make sure you love their faults....not despite their faults, but because of them"
😘 Thank you, Sonja! The words don't come quickly or easily; this one took me a good portion of yesterday, plus most of this morning, to get it right. Oh... I thought you had posted this on today's article! (Would you mind copying it there, too?)

Love is all and God is Love.
The last line or yours should really read 'an appointed time', a scheduled time, like a story in a book or lines in a play.

Mark Oshinskie used the term in a recent essay. I thought it perfectly described the phenomenon.
Does it ever!

That's a degree to love.
VIOLA
No, not a grize; for 'tis a vulgar proof,
That very oft we pity enemies.

Why, then, methinks 'tis time to smile again.
O, world, how apt the poor are to be proud!
If one should be a prey, how much the better
To fall before the lion than the wolf!

Excellent!
