    “Vogue magazine” and “philosopher” in the same sentence is enough to lighten the atmosphere for me! You should see him on air, in more recent times, in his comb-over, ranting and gesticulating like a madman…

      I don’t know much about male/female/kids family dynamics, but I’m wondering, Where are all the mothers? Mothers typically will go to any lengths to protect their children, so I guess many must think they’re protecting their kids by putting them in masks. My opinion is forcing children to wear masks all day is child abuse. It blows my mind.

        Nothing wrong with starting a group yourself if possible, and I think you’re right about needing to approach the situation from as many different angles as possible. We’ll all get there eventually… just need to keep turtling on, as CAF says. I haven’t read Lynne McTaggart yet, but I’m aware of her work and she’s on my (looong) to-read list.

          I’ve looked into Quakerism a bit. Their worship services–if you can call them that–would work perfectly for me. They consist mostly of silent meditation or “listening for the voice of God.” I looked up some of their meetings, both locally and elsewhere. What I came across was groups totally on board with covid measures–sometimes not…[Read more]

          • Hi FiatLux,
            Thank you for sharing your experience with the Quaker segment. I have located a semi-local Friends group. I will be contacting them (by phone – I’ll not waste my time investigating in person again) to see what they’re doing now. If they’ve bought into this insanity, I’ll simply keep searching for like-minded people elsewhere.…

            Have you read The Power of Eight by Lynne McTaggart? I’m in the midst of it now – it has some relevance and some usefulness to the situation (in my view) and expounds on a concept discussed by Dr. Farrell.

              Wow… I’d never even heard of it, and now it’s becoming common!
              I’m intimately familiar with fibromyalgia (CBD and medical THC are a godsend for severe, intractable pain). There’s been an absolute explosion of chronic disease, including formerly rare ones, in the past few decades. We live in a disease-producing environment.

But just when I thought I’ve heard it all, I’m once again shocked by how utterly out of touch with humanity–and how utterly stupid–these “elites” are. I honestly believe they think this grotesque, anti-human marketing campaign of theirs is going to win hearts…[Read more]

                • The children are wearing face mask to the end. Disallow open face communication. over 90% of communication is NON verbal. Cover face in deference to SATAN.

                    • As long as masks are de jure in a civilized society and accepted by most, the signal is those wearing them approve of their rulers and like being dominated. S & M anybody?

                        • Where are the men? I need to start seeing more MEN not complying with these demons. And/especially the men in LE. Cmon guys! Only bandits cover their faces!

                              • The only instance of a face mask in my short time and experience on this planet was in reference to Sadomasochism and bondage. Evidently quite popular right now.

                                • Not only bandits: anyone wishing to signal their fear, silence and submission.

                            • To be fair, it must be challenging for them to relate to anything human!

                                Yes, absolutely, we need to be aware of it and realize that what lies behind it isn’t just silliness, but a drive to dismantle Western civilization.

                                          Sounds like Freud applied to Marxism. IMO, the former is claptrap, and the latter not much better. (Not that capitalism can’t have problems.) Reminds me of critical social justice theory.

                                            • That is Correct answer. The book I am reading, Barbarism with a Human Face by Bernard-Henri Levy, published in 1977, requires a knowledgeable background in French left political history of the era. Needless to say I’ve been busy finding out, and boy what a can of worms I’m finding. The book pretty much predicted where we’d be now. Fasci…
