And we have some that aren’t necessarily sheep but worry so much about their image with the sheep that they aren’t really truthful to anyone.

Yes, not everyone on that side of things are pure sheep...there is a rather large variety of people in all of this..

Congrats on the OffG feedback! It's interesting reading the comments to your article.

I think Naomi Wolf's recent piece dovetails well with yours: https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/lipid-nanoparticles-are-they-subtly

My subconscious recently told me to watch Invasion of the Body Snatchers. What a great film. The problem in that story might be similar to our current predicament: only the people unaffected by the PEG vax have the required energy and inquisitiveness to see what's happening. Sheep are constrained by the normal psychological dissonance that they've had for all other state crimes, but are now also constrained by very real physical shackles. It's as though the people who disbelieved the Warren Commission were also encouraged to drink a potion that blocked any future ability to harbor empathy or critical thinking. Of all my controversial t-shirts, the one that gets the most glares is: "I tested positive for critical thinking."

I like that T-shirt...

Jeesh, the OG readers who comment can be brutal. I think there are a lot of trolls over there. I was accused of being controlled opposition by a few...which is actually flattering!!

I will check out the Wolf piece...

I have been watching a bunch of older movies as well (not as old as IBS, unless what you watched was a remake). Recently I saw "Aeon Flux" and "Ultraviolet"....it is amazing to me the correlations...virus, trans humanism, central government...I guess it is a no brainer that these themes are so much a part of the collective psyche's playground that they would show up in movies and books before their time, but it is still fascinating to me.

I am actually working on an article on CS Lewis' "That Hideous Strength"...it is uncanny how accurately he nailed it...

Great thoughts here...thanks for the comment!

I don't think those topics you mentioned "just showed up out of the blue" - they (and a few other related ones) have been deliberately and relentlessly planted in a variety of media formats for decades - being continuously "nurtured and nudged" until they firmly infest our "collective psyche", just waiting for the day when the damn transhumanist technocrats were ready from a technology perspective to infest our actual bodies instead of just our minds....

I don't doubt what you say...even creepier still...

It’s called “Predictive Programming”

Do you believe authors like Orwell, Huxley, and Lewis were creating some sort of preparation for us consciously? That they were in on a plan to wipe out humanity (more accurately were aware of a plan but were opposed to it)?

Expand full comment

Yes, I’ve come to think that is possible, especially for Huxley. Matthew Ehret and Cynthia Chung have some eye-opening videos on the early eugenics movement and how it mutated into malthusian anti-natal environmentalism for strategic reasons.

I really enjoyed your story about the musical score. (The "Lassie" whistling tune always makes me cry.) I have often stopped to pay attention to the music and how important it is to the emotion of the scene and I suppose the best scores often go unnoticed, until they are as meaningful as the story (like "Jaws" or the "Twilight Zone.") I wish we had a 'Music To Live By' score for everyday life, like "Wake up!" "Stop it now!" or "Take off the mask.."

Thank you for your response! Yes, music is amazing "underscoring drama, visuals, emotions"...at one time I played with the idea of writing music to patient's stories (I am a psychotherapist) but that would be incredibly time intensive and thus ridiculously expensive. I have a colleague that was scoring patient's dreams, which is even cooler, but has the same problems...I lots touch with him so I have no idea how long that lasted.

Thank goodness I’m married to another shrew... although that too can be challenging 😂

Same. I think the biggest difference is that sheep are simply afraid and obstinate. A shrew-friend related a conversation between he and his wife: she said, "You're so closeminded, I'm not listening to anything you have to say!"

Let's call stubbornness, myopic views, intellectual laziness and willful ignorance what they really are: cowardice.

Expand full comment

Yep...but I don't know if they need to have both...I think sheep can be pure fear, or pure obstinance, but not both, although fear is a rather elusive thing...you can be extremely fearful and not even know it...obviously anger comes from fear...and maybe even obstinance...

Loved the couples analogy! It can certainly get very challenging when a sheep and a shrew make that couple. Ufff!

Tell me about it...

How I would have loved to have met that guy who said “hmmm - that makes sense”! I agree there is little of that these days. Interesting commentary of how we’ve “got here”..

John Ward was his name, producer of Lassie, Harry and the Hendersons (TV) and various others...a very interesting guy in many other ways as well...died about 10 years ago I think. He had enough confidence in himself and his own judgement to yield occasionally to others if he thought they could present their ideas in a convincing way. A good producer.
