I have failed to show up here lately, unable to frame the breadth and depth of my despair, but glued to my many favourite Substackers and YouTubers—now deservedly acknowledged as the platforms of true journalism (more on that later). This morning, I am breathing properly and it feels so, so good. I’ve been holding it for at least seven years.
Victory is sweeter than sweet. Celia Farber nails the essence of the moment:
From her stack yesterday:
That said, I don’t think the election today is an “election,” per se. I don’t think that’s what this play is about.
It’s way more than that—it’s the crest of a monumental and existential culture war, that kicked off in 2016, with the publication by Wikileaks of The DNC Files and The Podesta Files. This culture war swept absolutely everything into itself, it insisted on expressing ITSELF, and no election, no simple politician, and no “outcome” can change it.
From Pizzagate to the Covid holocaust, from Trump Derangement Syndrome, to Jan 6, to the 2020 steal, to The Real Anthony Fauci, to MAHA—it’s been a thoroughly insane, psychedelic, impossible to believe, and ultimately redemptive 8 years, for us all.
And now, […] I concur wholeheartedly: We have won the culture war.
This is not a mere “election” and Trump is not so much a politician as a lighting rod for a vast eruption of Americana—of hundreds of millions of people all breaking a trauma bond, together. Sick to death of being told we’re bad, we’re evil, we’re crazy, we’re wrong—and all these accusations only intensify as we are proven correct. We’re abused and bullied by people with no interest in facts at all—driven by mass demonic possession.
We are all part of this gigantic cultural catharsis, metamorphosis, and wave, that ends with the casting off of abusive mass media chains, and a whole lot of “friends” too. In all of this, the reward for us is that we got to find ourselves, we got to stand up, and stop being subservient, to the neighbors, the colleagues, the “friends” on Facebook—the baker, the butcher and the candlestick maker.
We stopped taking it, stopped, finally, feeling so ashamed and guilty for not being on board with evident psychosis, murder, and destruction.
I place the emphasis squarely on all of us.
Everybody who has, in this life, been dismissed, scapegoated, insulted, rejected, put down, fired, sneered at, or perhaps had their very life threatened.
We all know what we were fighting—it was a very distinct, lethal spirit, an evil spirit. It wanted to hurt people. It wanted to hurt us. It did hurt us, and starting in 2021, it began to kill people, on a massive scale.
That’s also the “culture” war—don’t forget that Stephen Colbert dressed up as a needle, and danced around, with a dozen other dressed up dancing needles. We have actually lived through these things—they really happened.
The landslide win for Trump, inevitable, I believe, is really a landslide win against the very spirit of bullying; It just comes wrapped up in a massive drama about what is pretending to be an election. It’s an epic play about the timeless struggle against oppression, large and small. A play about snobbery and cruelty.
This “election” is about the solidarity and communion of all the bullied, targeted, maligned masses not only in the US but all over the world. That’s who wants Trump to win, despite all his betrayals. I have come to believe he will help RFK Jr. slay the Pharma/Vaccine behemoth.
I see it as inevitable.
I see this “election” as being all about things that don’t appear on ballots: Countering trauma based mind control, abuse, condescension, and above all, snobbery.
People use Donald Trump to do all that. But it’s not really ‘about’ him—who he is or is not, why to “trust” him or not.
Nobody needs to “trust” him; Rather, with his help, the media has been fully exposed, as psychopathic propagandists, and he proved, as did RFK Jr., that every punch from bully media converts to a secret language, comes back as popularity and appreciation.
Amen, Cecilia, amen.
Yes, I’ve shared others’ skepticism regarding the true intentions of Trump, Musk, Vance, and RFK Jr (if they seem too good to be true then maybe they are), but you know what? I think that our universal hearts’ desire for truth, justice and prosperity for ALL, and our revulsion towards their “novel disease” hoaxes (covid wasn’t the first), techno weather terrorism, and their intentional undoing of national safety and integrity, has infused those already rebellious men with resolves of steel to DO THE RIGHT THING in every realm, to restore human goodness to every realm that’s been attacked, especially these last 8 years.
This post’s title, as you’ll recognize, is from Leonard Cohen’s song Anthem. His next line—Forget your perfect offering— reminds us that imperfection (in people, things, events) is inevitable and so let us rejoice that, yes, that crack in everything is how the light gets in! And today, it did.
Lastly; completing Celia’s reference to MSM and my opening remarks, Jeff Childers (Coffee&Covid) put it like this this glorious morning:
Trump also defeated the Media. They called him every alarming name they could think of. They described in loving detail every breathless paranoia fantasy their sold-out reporters who wish they were fiction writers could dream up. And yet, despite the constant drumbeat from corporate media that he was the worst person who’s ever lived, a majority of citizens still chose Donald Trump for President of the United States of America.
The corporate media is a spent force.
Instead, dis-intermediated social media, podcasts, and Substacks have eclipsed traditional media platforms. Maybe if they hadn’t lied so much, media’s tragic downfall would have happened slower. Who knows?
The tide has finally turned, thank God. The vast public will finally come to know that ALL of the “mis, dis, and mal-information” came from them, not us. They’ll finally get that the term “conspiracy theory” was invented and seeded by the CIA as a weapon to suppress all credible speculation, counter-evidence, and ultimately speech, that might expose their actual conspiracies.
I’m feeling grrreat! What about you?
Really?
So... are you thinking that Trump is NOT a tool?
And sorry, but Celia Farber is seemingly lovely, as are a LOT of Controlled Opposition...
SORRY, but there ain't no bells ringing in MY ears, people. Get ready for more stuff like NC... Maybe a biggo EARTHQUAKE on the West Coast? Maybe even a tsunami from it?
I yam NOT feeling suddenly FREE... sniff the coffee, y'all, and GET READY.
I LOVED Celia's post and fully concur - this is not about Trump the person. Much bigger change underway, which we must remember as we go forward, because, we will at times, be disappointed in the man.
Thanks Joanie. Yes, today feels much lighter. The MSM witch is dead!
