We must not comply with normalizing; we shrews must make non-compliance normal! We must expand the shrewdom until we’re considered normal and sheep are laughed at and pitied for their idiocy! Normalize common sense!
the collectivization of everything has not contributed to a better way at all. the garage bench tinkerer has been bought and or threatened out of existence.every invention swept under the corporate rug, twisted into some sinister surveillance device or medical "breakthrough". ever hear of the car that ran on water? what happened to that guy?......... anyhoo, makes me think about garbage collection. where would we be if we were all responsible for our own garbage? well the packaging industry would never have become what it is. wasteful, unnecessary and harmful. maybe the word "we" needs to take a backseat for awhile. individual responsibility and self reliance are key to human happiness and satisfaction. i had to buy a new fridge last year. i insisted that i would buy the fridge if they kept the packaging. they finally relented. a small Pyrrhic victory! i'll take it though.
unfortunately i've been immersed in the medical world for most of the year. i lived a lucky life and only ever had stitches a few times. it's been a real eye opener to be yanked around by the medical world. the number of administrators wandering the halls of hospitals. the seemingly insatiable appetite for repeating tests. nice, kind people trying their best to make you well again, hampered by management, silly rules, paperwork, and lack of "beds". it's way past time to start to de-centralize. demand it. in everything. starting with that stinking, rotten, filthy blanket known as government that lays on top of society.
Yes. And I do. But it still doesn't quite fit. An I totally agree button might be better. But that's not quite a realistic option either because then you need an I don't agree button etc. The thing is that there are some awesome writers writing awesome articles about horrible things and clicking like just doesn't seem like the correct acknowledgement because I always feel like I'm saying I like the thing they are writing about in and of itself rather then liking or agreeing with the person's writing. This was an excellent essay about what I think is an absolutely horrible thing that is happening right now, so I didn't really want to say "yes, I really like this". What I wanted to convey was more along the lines of "yes, this is happening, and yes it's very frustrating that other people can't see it, and this is horrible" and like just doesn't seem to cover that
"Like" for articles is not a like for the topic of the article but a like for an agreement of the sentiment. If the author is writing about something horrible, and you agree with the author's sentiment and "take" on that horrible thing, then "like" is appropriate.
I certainly understand the confusion. It is not a good word to use, maybe "agree" would be better. Unfortunately, like with so many things we confront every day, it is a matter of semantics and we just have to make do..."normalize" the "like" button!! HA
Well, I believe one of the first thing we were sold on was "convenience." Our unwillingness to experience inconvenience has thus created the repulsive, abnormal and disfigured reality we face in every facet of life today. Do we really want to experience full-on life at all? Maybe minimally. Only if it's convenient. Doesn't our experience shape us?
I think one of the best things I ever did for my three children was build a house, by hand, in the middle of a forest many miles from any convenience. We had a 150 gallon stock tank to collect water off the roof for five people, year round, for years. Talk about inconvenience. But something shifted in our thinking. We became innovative, relished every drop and took nothing for granted. The experience which was initially insufferable, we all came to relish. It filled our lives with a meaningful content that we continue to experience in all matters. It shaped us . . . . we became shrews with views!
Ha! Bingo. Hit it on all points. The evolution of convenience has robbed us of our ability to experience that which defines our humanity. Dangerous. Dreadful. Deadly. I bet the antidote is hanging in the wings. I know it is. It may be inconvenient!
I think nowadays we have to create artificial instances of "difficulty"...with the little things (the big ones, like death, disease, pain, etc. just hit us regardless). We already do this with things like health...running, working out, etc. Back in the day that sort of body health was naturally taken care of with just living, finding food, plowing the fields, etc. Now, if we care, we have to create it for ourselves.
Humans are designed to be lazy...to find effective and efficient ways to deal with living. We are programmed to look for, and take advantage, of convenience. So all of our thinking power goes into creating convenience. It is a curse!
Oh gee Todd, you really hit some doozey of topics and I find myself always in alignment with your train of thought. A few friends and I were gathered a week ago and stated some similar opinions on what is being passed as "normal" - almost everything that once was considered "abnormal" or "opposite of normal". As one friend stated, "I look around and think am I the crazy one or are they?" This is how perverted it is. We start questioning our own ideas of what is normal or what used to be considered such. But I believe that is the very intention of this programming of the sheep. Anyone in the company of several sheep at one time must get to the same conclusion. It is like their reality has been snatched from them.
I've been thinking a lot about this idea of "normal" and how humans have lived tens of thousands of years a certain way, and just within the last 500 or so (maybe 2,000 if you want to get picky) where "suddenly" things are very different. Think about the last 150 years! Computers, airplanes, cars. All needing to be "normalized."
It is odd to think that not that long ago people WALKED everywhere, and then had HORSES...thousands and thousands of years people walked everywhere they needed to go. For maybe millions of years the loudest sound people heard was thunder.
I remember during my music studies we were introduced to the clavinet. A strange little keyboard instrument where strings were hit with a little thin "t shaped" piece of brass...it made a very faint delicate sound. A sound you would be hard pressed to even HEAR today...there is SO much noise just sitting in our living room...a constant 60 cycle hum from the wiring in the house for one (ever notice how it becomes deafening quiet when the power goes out?)
Anyway...I am going off on tangents. What I am getting at is we humans have been forced to normalize thousands of very unusual things in a relatively short period time...not time enough to get used to any of it. Since we lived maybe millions of years with things pretty stationary and unchanging, it is wild to ponder if one reason why we are so screwed up is because we have been forced to adapt to so much radical change so quickly...
We wonder if cell phones and the internet have messed with us, what about the automobile, the airplane, radio waves in the air, being able to communicate with people thousands of miles away, constant noise...on and on and on....
Maybe it is the speed of all these changes taking place that doesn't sit well. Now we have 5G - what was wrong with 4? They always decide for us that we need more, faster, better, etc. Many of us don't and yet, many want the latest in everything: updated houses, the latest model of a vehicle, the latest cellphone (also the biggest). That is one side of the coin. The other side is normalizing things that are not normal to say the least. You have read about 'the minor attraction' BS making it sound normal that we like little children for pleasure. It's a big evil project. We need to stand strong. I still have hope. Happy New Year Todd and to all the shrews! May 2025 bring peace and common sense.
I think there are basically three ways we can look at the human race moving too fast.
1. If we were more responsible, more ethical, more understanding of the truly important things in life...love, family, decency, etc. Then as we move forward there will be a greater awareness of the benefits of technology and the possible pitfalls that would run contrary to our positive intentions. Technology then will not advance primarily to make our life easier, or to satisfy some nefarious intention. This way we would naturally adjust to our own advancements, and "normalize" things that deserve to be "normalized" rather than things that are ultimately bad for us.
2. The second "way" is blind and stupid, but with no nefarious intention behind advancement. This is the way most people believe humanity advances. We just move along and grab whatever we fancy and get "used to it" (normalize). There are no ethics or morals (certainly no belief in anything greater than ourselves) fear is still prevalent so our primary intention would be preservation of physical life (since the material is the only true reality). #2, again, is much like the way most sheep BELIEVE we are currently advancing.
3. Includes #2, but with mal-intent behind it. #3 has a malicious and nefarious intent pushing all advancement. It incorporates the "agenda" is evil, and may even be of the devil...much like CS Lewis' "That Hideous Strength". People BELIEVE all is natural, that technology is rolling along for our own convenience, and even though we still make atomic bombs and such, there is no evil intention behind it with the ultimate goal to destroy humanity. Normalization is part of the process to keep people from "figuring out" the evil intention...the devil making sure nobody believes he exists. (If you don't believe in Satan as a "thing" or autonomous force, see it as a metaphor.)
I think we are currently engaged in #3. #2 isn't much better, but there is still a chance in #2 that we "figure it out" and "come to our senses"...in #3 the only way out is to wake up and stop the agenda.
Merry Christmas to you too! See you in the next reel, as they say in Hollywood! (Where I worked for 30 years!)
As always Todd, extremely well said!! If only I could get all the sheep in my life to read this, and then get them to REALLY think about it. But that's just a dream, isn't it?
Unfortunately you can’t wake anyone PRETENDING to be asleep. My soon to be ex would just get that thousand mile stare, looking over my shoulder, bored out of his mind, pretending he couldn’t understand anything I was saying. Good times.
We had a few friends in for cocktails before Christmas - the conversation sounded like typical broadcast from the CBC otherwise known as the advertising arm of the Liberal Government . The views expressed could not have been born from independent ( or any) thought. What a grip the " agenda " has over folks .....this is scary
It is VERY scary. My sister, a fellow super-shrew, visited my wife and I over Christmas (she lives in the States) and although blatant shrew-talk was avoided (for obvious reasons) the conversation did occasionally drift into more serious topics, like what is going on in the public schools, what is going on in the wars, what is going on in health. It was amazing to me how these topics are 100% avoided in my household when a shrew isn't around...even with lots of family (sheep-types) in attendance. Never a word.
What's just as bad or worse is that in order to normalize the abnormal "they" had to manipulate us to memory hole the normal. You know, like colds and flu, old people dying, breathing fresh air, socializing, etc. I think we shrews knew that once masks were mandated a certain percentage of people would continue wearing them (read: normalize) as a matter of course and that doctors and hospitals would normalize or continue mandating them during cold and flu season.
I think for me one of the saddest realizations to emerge from this debacle is that individual freedom and autonomy are not normal. Individual rights -- whether you believe they are God-given or natural -- are an anomaly in human history. Those of us of a certain age assumed the State, our neighbours (any collective really) would never lock us inside our homes, never force us to wear symbols of compliance, never mandate that we shut our businesses and lose everything, never sacrifice a generation of children, or never create an underclass of citizens who opted out of becoming human guinea pigs. I'd mutter to myself incessantly, "They wouldn't do that," and my cynical husband would mutter back, "They would and they will." It shocked me to my core and yet, in retrospect, I should have never been that shocked. We have countless examples throughout human history of all of that and worse, but I thought we had learned from the past and that individual rights in the West were sacrosanct. We're living through a master class on how to normalize the abnormal. I ought not be shocked anymore and yet I am because I can't and won't give up on truth, just like my fellow shrews. When we stop being shocked we're lost. I have no doubt we will keep the outrage going and I'm somewhat hopeful we'll add more shrews to our ranks.
EXACTLY!! "When we stop being shocked we're lost." What you say here is the primary reason why I am Dr. Doom...I see the danger of slipping into compliance to the "normal" and I am constantly prodding my fellow shrews to make sure they don't fall asleep...only because I see this possibility happening in my own life.
And this: "I'd mutter to myself incessantly, "They wouldn't do that," and my cynical husband would mutter back, "They would and they will." It shocked me to my core and yet, in retrospect, I should have never been that shocked. We have countless examples throughout human history of all of that and worse, but I thought we had learned from the past and that individual rights in the West were sacrosanct. We're living through a master class on how to normalize the abnormal."
My minister complained that USA Medicare was working to eliminate him as an expense. In my brief experience, I noticed that there seemed to be cost-shifting, if not fraud.
Yep. Blatant, but true. Killing people, either directly or indirectly, is always a benefit to government. Although they claim otherwise, they typically have a very strong agenda to "lessen the burden." The burden on health care (here in Canada and the UK and elsewhere with national health care systems). Social Security (the States) Medicare, welfare, etc. If they could wipe out all of the "useless eaters" in one fell swoop they would do it in a heartbeat...never overtly admitting to it of course...but many of them have said as much that's for sure.
Agreed! Especially about bankrupting us before they kill us off. And I must mention the latest ploy that I am extremely suspicious of is how everyone, including the far right hosts who are allegedly on “our side,” are relentlessly encouraging us to buy silver and gold. Because after all (they insist) our world currencies are going to collapse and be worthless, so make sure you buy silver and gold while your dollars still have value! And then, if you so choose, the folks who sell you the silver and gold will be happy to hold onto it for you in their secure location. Why are they all pushing the same thing? That and cryptocurrencies? I truly don’t trust anyone anymore. And no, NONE OF IT is normal
I'm always amazed that the silver and gold pushers are always so willing to take your worthless cash in an exchange. I think crypto is the bait and switch for gold. With the trillions of printed dollars (i.e. toilet paper money), the historic inflationary pressure on gold should have dramatically increased in value. But it didn't. Instead, another fiat currency backed by nothing, i.e. crypto, has absorbed all the inflationary pressure. Fabio Vighi has a lot to say about the 'virus' being a cover for world economic collapse.
The pushers of gold and silver have their own money making agenda...but it doesn't mean that gold and silver are a bad choice. At this point, however, when/if it comes to the loss of all currency, and the world is in economic mayhem, I am not sure if I want to be here contending with all of that.
Young folks should be preparing for it if they want to survive, but I doubt if gold or silver will become a convenient "currency"...you would have to carry around a little scale and a way to slice off small amounts of gold from your bars and coins...not sure how easy that will be. There will probably some form of trade we have not even yet thought of...beans come to mind...or seeds...
Trust is definitely difficult these days. I am pretty ignorant about currencies...but I do see the point in buying precious metals because it is a tangible commodity that has value. But maybe buying dried beans is better...or even alcohol (booze)...anything that will have value when fiat currency goes defunct.
But of course the government will recall all precious metals when it comes to that. Replacing it with some "computer number" they will call "currency." Then what will you do if you have a closet full of gold?
I am in agreement with you regarding the "buy gold and silver from us, and let us store it for you"...although I would never want to have thousands of dollars worth of precious metals sitting in my basement (I don't, nor ever will) I find it odd to have someone else keep it for me...how is THAT safe??
Yes, and if you bury it in the back yard have a safe in the house with $1,000 in it so if a thief comes along and threatens your life, or the life of a loved one, to get to it, you have something they can take.
Pfizer, the NIH, CDC, and FDA have made it so strokes, heart attacks, neurological diseases, and sudden death are normalized standard expectations since the vax was rolled out.
All in the name of preventing coughs, sneezes, fever, and sniffles.
In case you have not caught on yet, mankind is the disease they are working tirelessly to eradicate.
Dr. Hayen, you will love ^ that article. We cannot let them get away with covering-up their genocide like this by blaming everything under the sun except the vaccine.
Thank you sir! It is set for January 7th at 12pm ET. Once it is edited and posted ill place a link in a another reply to your comment. Best to you and yours in the coming year!
This article should be front page of every newspaper, and on the home feed page of every person on social media ! Great article, keep it up!!
Thank you!
We must not comply with normalizing; we shrews must make non-compliance normal! We must expand the shrewdom until we’re considered normal and sheep are laughed at and pitied for their idiocy! Normalize common sense!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!
It’s both a gift and a curse to be adaptable.
the collectivization of everything has not contributed to a better way at all. the garage bench tinkerer has been bought and or threatened out of existence.every invention swept under the corporate rug, twisted into some sinister surveillance device or medical "breakthrough". ever hear of the car that ran on water? what happened to that guy?......... anyhoo, makes me think about garbage collection. where would we be if we were all responsible for our own garbage? well the packaging industry would never have become what it is. wasteful, unnecessary and harmful. maybe the word "we" needs to take a backseat for awhile. individual responsibility and self reliance are key to human happiness and satisfaction. i had to buy a new fridge last year. i insisted that i would buy the fridge if they kept the packaging. they finally relented. a small Pyrrhic victory! i'll take it though.

So well put...thank you...
There should be an option other than "like" because while I certainly agree with what you're saying here, I definitely don't "like" it.
I think "like" can be a way to acknowledge the writer's hard work.
Yes. And I do. But it still doesn't quite fit. An I totally agree button might be better. But that's not quite a realistic option either because then you need an I don't agree button etc. The thing is that there are some awesome writers writing awesome articles about horrible things and clicking like just doesn't seem like the correct acknowledgement because I always feel like I'm saying I like the thing they are writing about in and of itself rather then liking or agreeing with the person's writing. This was an excellent essay about what I think is an absolutely horrible thing that is happening right now, so I didn't really want to say "yes, I really like this". What I wanted to convey was more along the lines of "yes, this is happening, and yes it's very frustrating that other people can't see it, and this is horrible" and like just doesn't seem to cover that
"Like" for articles is not a like for the topic of the article but a like for an agreement of the sentiment. If the author is writing about something horrible, and you agree with the author's sentiment and "take" on that horrible thing, then "like" is appropriate.
I certainly understand the confusion. It is not a good word to use, maybe "agree" would be better. Unfortunately, like with so many things we confront every day, it is a matter of semantics and we just have to make do..."normalize" the "like" button!! HA
Thank you....

Recalls adaptation, e.g., hedonic but especially Charlie Kirk's broadcasts describing the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
We had a few friends in for cocktails before Christmas - the conversation sounded like typical broadcast from the CBC otherwise known as the advertising arm of the Liberal Government . The views expressed could not have been born from independent ( or any) thought. What a grip the " agenda " has over folks .....this is scary
It is VERY scary.

It was amazing to me how these topics are 100% avoided in my household when a shrew isn't around...even with lots of family (sheep-types) in attendance. Never a word.
Todd, there is never a word because they think everything is just working so well.
Exactly...they are for the most part effectively bamboozled.
I love the word ‘bamboozled’ and I often use it. 🤩
What's just as bad or worse is that in order to normalize the abnormal "they" had to manipulate us to memory hole the normal. You know, like colds and flu, old people dying, breathing fresh air, socializing, etc. I think we shrews knew that once masks were mandated a certain percentage of people would continue wearing them (read: normalize) as a matter of course and that doctors and hospitals would normalize or continue mandating them during cold and flu season.

Basically, all governments hate people and want them dead - with the added benefit of bankrupting them before they die in the 'death care' system.

I'm always amazed that the silver and gold pushers are always so willing to take your worthless cash in an exchange. I think crypto is the bait and switch for gold. With the trillions of printed dollars (i.e. toilet paper money), the historic inflationary pressure on gold should have dramatically increased in value. But it didn't. Instead, another fiat currency backed by nothing, i.e. crypto, has absorbed all the inflationary pressure. Fabio Vighi has a lot to say about the 'virus' being a cover for world economic collapse.
The pushers of gold and silver have their own money making agenda...but it doesn't mean that gold and silver are a bad choice. At this point, however, when/if it comes to the loss of all currency, and the world is in economic mayhem, I am not sure if I want to be here contending with all of that.
Young folks should be preparing for it if they want to survive, but I doubt if gold or silver will become a convenient "currency"...you would have to carry around a little scale and a way to slice off small amounts of gold from your bars and coins...not sure how easy that will be. There will probably some form of trade we have not even yet thought of...beans come to mind...or seeds...
And ammo here in the USA
YES!!!!
Trust is definitely difficult these days. I am pretty ignorant about currencies...but I do see the point in buying precious metals because it is a tangible commodity that has value. But maybe buying dried beans is better...or even alcohol (booze)...anything that will have value when fiat currency goes defunct.
But of course the government will recall all precious metals when it comes to that. Replacing it with some "computer number" they will call "currency." Then what will you do if you have a closet full of gold?
I am in agreement with you regarding the "buy gold and silver from us, and let us store it for you"...although I would never want to have thousands of dollars worth of precious metals sitting in my basement (I don't, nor ever will) I find it odd to have someone else keep it for me...how is THAT safe??
Agreed! I’d bury it in my backyard before I’d let a stranger keep it for me
Debra, I understand it needs to be at least 4 feet deep. :)
Yes, and if you bury it in the back yard have a safe in the house with $1,000 in it so if a thief comes along and threatens your life, or the life of a loved one, to get to it, you have something they can take.
Or blow their ass off with your ammo.

Pfizer, the NIH, CDC, and FDA have made it so strokes, heart attacks, neurological diseases, and sudden death are normalized standard expectations since the vax was rolled out.
All in the name of preventing coughs, sneezes, fever, and sniffles.
In case you have not caught on yet, mankind is the disease they are working tirelessly to eradicate.
Be sure not to nap, sleep, snore, get sunlight, exercise, breath, or pass your school exams kids (all of these are reasons for sudden death heart attacks in our new demented normal): https://tritorch.substack.com/p/children-having-heart-attacks-the
Dr. Hayen, you will love ^ that article. We cannot let them get away with covering-up their genocide like this by blaming everything under the sun except the vaccine.
I just read over the article you cited. The false statements about the health happenings since the vaccine rollout are beyond disturbing.
