Due to recent Christmas gatherings, I have been involved in many conversations amongst sheep and did notice some strange patterns while discussing certain topics such as politics, medicine, global antics, and general social curiosities.
It can be lonely never ( or not often) having a meaningful conversation nowadays. Got to keep it superficial as most can't even have a sensible discussion or debate. Alternative viewpoints are generally met with hate filled, cliche ridden, name calling mini rants that shut down conversation.
No questioning or wonder allowed in polite company ☹
I know it’s not the main point of your article (sorry) but I tell people that I don’t vaccinate my animals because there didn’t used to be a problem with cancer in cats and dogs and now it’s common. The vaccines for animals are causing autoimmune disfunction just like they do in humans. And cancer treatments for pets is big business these days.
For instance, rabies vax is a one in a lifetime shot. Lasts 15-20 years. Most pets only live that long. But everyone thinks that there’s a valid medical reason for the vets to make it an annual or biannual shot. No. The reason is money.
Shall we go into how many people take an “annual flu shot” because they think it’s medically necessary? Many who refuse the current jab still believe that all the others are “safe and effective”. But I’m ranting again…
I'm mulling over this thought: "To put this as simply as I can, I would say that it seems there is a template that the world, and all of the happenings within it, are supposed to fit neatly, and properly, into. And anything that does not fit into the template, is discarded like...the fat is from a cut of meat. When this “non-fitting” part is cut out, it is cast away with disgust, hatred, and revulsion."
I am chuckling to myself. In these years of waking-up and continuing to long-for-a-different-way-of-living (ie, homesteading), I have been more intentionally learning homesteading skills. This autumn I learned how to render fat into lard/tallow. How fitting your comment is. How much of society just cuts out the inconvenient fat and throws it away? When those-who-know save the fat, then heat it up, blend it up to break up the gristle, add salt to purify it, let it set in the fridge, scrape off the settled gristle, and heat it and salt it again, repeat until the fat is white and useable - store it in the fridge, the freezer, the pantry to cook with, to use in skincare products, to make soap with.
The former is so convenient. Takes no work (but makes for more waste), is "cleaner", is "healthier" (the authorities tell them so - here, have this heavily processed vegetable oil instead, it's good for you, it's safe an effective). But making the lard, making the tallow? Seems like such a great metaphor for critical thinking. And then at the end, through plenty of effort, of course, you end up wasting far less and have a great wealth of (actually) healthy, useful substance (be it lard or knowledge).
Yes, thanks! I caught the Maria Zeee interview and was blown away. I have since bought his book and am a bit into it. I may write a review here when I am finished. The intro by Naomi Wolf is worth buying the book...although you can find that on her substack.
Well said. Here you speak for all of us (your readers).
What is everyone so afraid of? By habit it seems people know the unspoken rules of "proper" topics and regard us shrews with shock that we dare cross the polite zone. I don't think it will get any better until more courage and dignity is summoned by more people.
I agree. There is a very large paradigm shift that needs to take place. We can work at it in the mean time, as there are lots of us who do not need the paradigm shift, but those that do need it, will not change until it happens.
Thank you, man! We are all here, scattered around...if you know any close enough to commune with, make it a point to break bread together once in a while
I will change the word in the article to "mental and physical ailments"...it is funny you point this out...I have lived my life believing the word "infirmaries" could be used to indicate a list of ailments, or things about a person that were "infirm"...I believe my mother used to use it that way...but in further research, inspired by your comment, I can't see it used that way anywhere...learn something new every day! thanks!
Smugness masquerading as intelligence. The societal template of "no discussion" is maddening. I guess they will soon be removing the word Contrarian from the dictionary.
It is indeed a strange phenomenon, but stranger still is that people don't notice, and even stranger that if it is pointed out to them, they say you were crazy.
I honestly think that of all the untouchable orthodoxies mentioned in your article, darwinian evolution is the one that can be totally debunked by objective, readily available scientific data. See many books and videos by Stephen C Meyer, and others. A good example is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXKAMR94-rc.
The flat earth theory, on the other hand I think is totally wrong and I suspect it is mostly pedaled in order to discredit other unorthodox views that are actually true or at least debatable.
I have not seriously looked into flat Earth...so I really have no opinion on it except there certainly are a lot of people who swear by the evidence. I tend to see it the way you do...a purpose of discrediting. Which is sad if true.
Intelligent Design to me is a no-brainer. I've read almost everything, for decades, regarding this, and you couldn't convince me more. And it is a biggie. Someone here on the stack turned me onto the Douglas Axe book, "Undeniable"...amazing read.
I had fun deep-diving into flat-earth through all of this. And the ultimate conclusion I came to is to not other people or their theories. Reading through a number of arguments, I actually see some evidence to support what they claim, which I have not been able to un-see. But instead of swaying me or riveting me or whatever, it humbles me. I am humbled at the thought that I could live in a world that we totally do not understand, even though we think we do. That our world could be completely different, and even far larger (depending on what theories you look at) than we're told, is astounding. So that was my takeaway, fwiw. I wouldn't identify myself as an flat-earther. But I'm not going to berate or other them. And I'm going to keep with me The Wonder. :)
A wonderful layered piece ! The descriptive of the template is very helpful ! On a macro level the template has always existed of course , the ropes around the walls “ so to speak “ having tightened over the last few years. On a social / cultural level I at times pretend to live in the template in order to navigate peace thru the day . I have sat at many a holiday table where “conversation “ / debate was really a “ cover “ for fighting with a disliked family member in an attempt to make them look small . That aside !!! My parents taught my sisters and I that the rolling of eyes or making a face when others are talking ( whether or not you were in agreement ) was just plain rude ! It was rude 60 years ago and continues to be rude today . I limit / eliminate my time with those folks and yes even family .
Yes but it’s more than that …..I hear things all day that I may not be fully aligned with I may think or be curious about the views but not ridicule ….the issue is the outward manifestation of ridicule to the views of others and how we seem to have accepted that …..I have not
Again, tangential, what immediately springs to mind is the recollection of an event.
I was living on a houseboat on Nageen Lake, in Kashmir, about 5km from Srinagar.
In the town of Srinagar, citizens were rioting over an increase of a ½ paisa bus fare increase.
Nageen Lake was at peace and remained undisturbed.
It's this idea of a superimposed narrative, or description of reality, which is supposed, by tacit, unspoken agreement (isn't that a definition of "conspiracy"?) to represent the general conditions of reality.
You are dealing with mass cognitive dissonance, wherein the superimposed narrative disagrees so radically with group perception, there's simply no way to digest the inconsistency, other than complete denial, despite evidence of conditions in the immediate vicinity being entirely, and obviously, non-threatening.
The initial psyop propelled the population into an as yet unreversed state of, in more perfect terms, of fear of their own shadows -- as in Jungian thought.
I think the majority live in a binary mode.
There are no shades of grey.
It's all either yes, no, on, off, either, or, asleep, awake.
You live permanently suspended between waking and sleeping.
Your work provokes a reaction in me unlike anyone else's.
I can see it seems to do the same to scores of countless others.
You have a gift.
Some welcome the provocation to deeper self-examination and reflection.
Others only fear it.
I think the people you describe are, above all, afraid, and unless someone hits the kill switch on the geni-like Phantom monster that was unleashed, you will never reach them and ought to stop wasting your time and effort trying, you knocked, the door was not opened, DO NOT ENTER, and, as my now deceased, exceptional, life-ling friend, Bob, once said, substituting to the familer classic tune
"No one knows what goes on behind closed minds."
How many times did you give or receive a book you or someone else wasn't ready to read?
Hey, Todd, I wanted to tell you that in my email, I received notice of a reply to a comment I made on your essay and when I clicked to look at it, that warning about not going to that site or I wold get a virus came up - over and over. I was unable to see your site again. More control. What to do????
For some unknown reason "they" have recently decided that any "unsecured" site without HTTPS protection is dangerous...which is nonsense. I don't really understand how any of that works...I do know Shrewviews is HTTPS...don't know why some systems identify it differently, and if I were a bit more paranoid (and these days I have reason to be) I would definitely say ShrewViews has been targeted as a subversive site...although I am way too small to believe full-heartedly they would give a hoot's ass about Shrews.
I have an old very good friend that claims to be a conservative but he has fallen for all of the jabatorium agenda. He watches too much TV and surfs the Goo Goo web for confirmation. He also likes doctors looking under his hood and prescribing their own form of black magic.
He still likes to come around a couple times a year and spend 3-4 days visiting. He doesn't believe most of what I tell him.
My wife sort of cringed in our shop the other day when we had a couple in and I brought up the "SUBJECT" of current goings on.
They were in complete agreement and we learned a few things from one another in our hour long discussion. He told me to watch the movie AMERICAN MADE based on a true story of the
CIA/Contra drug running by pilot Barry Seal. I had already read the true book "Clinton, Bush and The CIA Compromised" by CIA agent Terry Reed just after it was published. I was familiar with a lot of the Arkansas goings on because I used to shoe race horses for Arkansas backwoods horse trainers that told about the "secret airport" they all knew about. (I am guessing they were called conspiracy quacks at some family get togethers.)
We know things are caving in on us, having learned it from open minded research, eyesight, personal experience and books.
The MSM loving sheep have no clue.
I personally believe that
World War 3 will be fought in nearly hand to hand survival combat rather than nuclear war. The sheep will go first because they don't believe in anarchy even though they defund the police and import the terrorists. This will be a fast way to reduce world population like the idiots wanting to be dictators hope for.
Most likely it will be triggered by a huge natural (Solar Max) or man made (EMP) disaster.
Sounds about right to me. Have you seen the Netflix flick "Leave Tomorrow Behind"? If you have not, you might get a kick out of it...kinda follows your outline above...and it was exec produced by the Obama brothers, Michelle and Barack...(that was mean, but I couldn't help it, I used to love the guy).
Not only do I immensely enjoy reading your articles but all of your comments are pure gold. Thank you for sharing your thoughts as you do and Happy New Year. And yes, I totally agree with your conclusions on the social situation these days. Take some comfort, you are not alone. I come from a family of nonconformists who never learned to keep our opinions to ourselves so I probably don't feel the sting of ostracism as the latecomers to freethinking might. As a child in grammar school I was berated for “contradicting” teacher when I didn’t agree on how slaves built the pyramids, that diagramming sentences was of no practical use in the real world and that girls couldn’t do the cool things that boys did because, well, we were girls. I was in bigger trouble for daring to question anything about the Bible in Sunday school. As a young adult I was equally unpopular because I didn’t think Darwin got it right, believed that we couldn’t possibly have landed on the moon and that “educated” people weren’t always right just because they said they were. I guess it only makes sense that I would now follow “conspiracy theorists” on Telegram, be stubbornly outspoken against the entire covid hoax and embrace Donald Trump. Why change now? About all I have learned (finally!) as I approach the age of 70 is that 1) when the average person asks me what my opinion is they REALLY don’t want to hear it unless it agrees with theirs, and 2) chances are slim that we will see eye to eye on much of anything. But it’s OK, as Popeye says “I am what I am and that’s all what I am.” I’m at peace. Thanks again for your shrewviews.
Oh, such a perfect comment! I think I am a male version of you! Although I do believe you were feistier than I was at a younger age. During this crazy time, I have been more astounded, and pleased, by how many people have had such similar experiences through life...questioning evolution, the moon landing, JFK's assassination, the pyramids. Unfortunately, I just believed there must be something wrong with my thinking when I questioned these things.
I have done extensive research on Egypt by the way, been there four times, and I can assure you the pyramids, and quite a bit more in Egypt, did not come to be the way conventional Egyptology says they did...
One last thing...what did the boys do that was so cool? I found boys for the most part to be rather dull. Of course, I was a boy, through and through, but I was the romantic type and was more interested in falling in love and writing love poems to girls than anything "cool" that other boys were doing....
I went to a co-ed school. The boys got to do woodwork and later metalwork and make cool things. We girls had to do home economics (learning to cook eggs, etc). I complained as well.
Ahh right...I get it. I was not aware at the time that girls were not "allowed" to take those electives and could only choose HomeEc. That DOES suck. I tried to get into shop, but it was full, so I opted to try out Future Farmers of America...I have no idea idea, I guess because it was a "man thing"...I dropped out in a week.
Not because I have a problem with FFA, I just wasn't a future farmer! Although at one time in my life I wanted to raise chickens, but when I realized I would have to kill them, I quickly lost interest.
Yeah. I wasn't allowed to do auto shop, but had to take Latin or Home Ec ... I would have rather stabbed my eyeballs with a fork than the latter. The Latin actually came in handy as a medical professional, and I had to pursue my fascination with engines on my own by hanging out with the boys and their motorcycles. Got quite handy with Magnetos at one point, and my mum bought me that orange mechanic's soap to get out the permanently ground in engine oil. Did not give a fig for 'girltalk', and was BORED TO DEATH by makeup, fashion, boys and being bitchy about other girls). The guys liked sci fi, and we played with all of the ideas that have since come into being in this Absurd age.
Maybe we should ALL have had to take HomeEc AND Shop (learn how to cook the eggs, pay the bills, and fix the things!). My Aunt was a HomeEc teacher and at least taught me how to sew after my mother died (she taught me some, too), and I took Shop in highschool. Knowing how to cook and money skills would have been nice to go into adulthood with instead of learning how to AS an actual dang adult!
I've currently been wondering if I could find a trade school for my 6 year old boy! ha! He just wants to learn how to do everything. We homeschool, so he's not squashed by school structure forcing him into a box, but there's only so much of me and time, and he still has to learn how to read....but still. Why wait until he's a teen to learn skills he's capable to learning (albeit at an immature level) while he's young? Kind of more as a joke, I guess....but then when I really think about it...it seems silly NOT to...all the core subjects children ought to know can be fused with tradeskills. This boy can already knit with his fingers, cook his eggs, and sew on a sewing machine. He'll work for 3 hours with our farm friends, wants to use all the tools....How many other little boys would just THRIVE with learning this way?!
"I often feel like I am a human who has landed on an alien planet where the aliens look like humans but have slightly different mannerisms, reactions, and responses to things." You nailed it Todd! I feel like that any time I am amongst the sheep. I look around and wonder - what the hell happened to them? Yet, I know, of course but it is literally mind boggling. Happy New Year!!
If you actually DO know what happened to them, please share! Speaking of...there is a great new book out by Dr. Michael Nehls titled "The Indoctrinated Brain"...he has a theory, and although frightening, it really does resonate with me. He has an interview with Maria Zeee if you want to learn a bit about him. And I have a transcript of that interview if you would rather read it than watch the interview...
BTW...goes for anyone reading this...let me know if you want a copy of the transcript...write directly to me, kingshrew@auraboros.com (calling myself "king" is a joke I am sure you all will understand..😆)
Hi Todd, when I say I know what happened to the sheep I think they were brainwashed, pure and simple. First came the fear element which opened them up to the belief of what the media, their doctors, their friends and neighbours told them. It was a perfect set up. Scare the s... out of people and then install the narrative you want them to believe. I will email you to get that transcript. Thanks so much!!
Rang many bells thank you.
It can be lonely never ( or not often) having a meaningful conversation nowadays. Got to keep it superficial as most can't even have a sensible discussion or debate. Alternative viewpoints are generally met with hate filled, cliche ridden, name calling mini rants that shut down conversation.
No questioning or wonder allowed in polite company ☹

Thank you, man! We are all here, scattered around...if you know any close enough to commune with, make it a point to break bread together once in a while
Thankfully I have one or two sane friends that I can unload with, and of course, sane online communities on Substack, like this one 🍻
thanks...it is important
Stupid AI turned "infirmities" into "indignities". And they want us to have self-driving cars??? Absolutely mental, as Harry Potter would say.
Biden has indignities, not "infirmaries" - although, I dare say he belongs in one.

Oh, such a perfect comment! I think I am a male version of you! Although I do believe you were feistier than I was at a younger age. During this crazy time, I have been more astounded, and pleased, by how many people have had such similar experiences through life...questioning evolution, the moon landing, JFK's assassination, the pyramids. Unfortunately, I just believed there must be something wrong with my thinking when I questioned these things.
I have done extensive research on Egypt by the way, been there four times, and I can assure you the pyramids, and quite a bit more in Egypt, did not come to be the way conventional Egyptology says they did...
One last thing...what did the boys do that was so cool? I found boys for the most part to be rather dull. Of course, I was a boy, through and through, but I was the romantic type and was more interested in falling in love and writing love poems to girls than anything "cool" that other boys were doing....
I went to a co-ed school. The boys got to do woodwork and later metalwork and make cool things. We girls had to do home economics (learning to cook eggs, etc). I complained as well.
Ahh right...I get it. I was not aware at the time that girls were not "allowed" to take those electives and could only choose HomeEc. That DOES suck. I tried to get into shop, but it was full, so I opted to try out Future Farmers of America...I have no idea idea, I guess because it was a "man thing"...I dropped out in a week.
Not because I have a problem with FFA, I just wasn't a future farmer! Although at one time in my life I wanted to raise chickens, but when I realized I would have to kill them, I quickly lost interest.
Yeah. I wasn't allowed to do auto shop, but had to take Latin or Home Ec ... I would have rather stabbed my eyeballs with a fork than the latter. The Latin actually came in handy as a medical professional, and I had to pursue my fascination with engines on my own by hanging out with the boys and their motorcycles. Got quite handy with Magnetos at one point, and my mum bought me that orange mechanic's soap to get out the permanently ground in engine oil. Did not give a fig for 'girltalk', and was BORED TO DEATH by makeup, fashion, boys and being bitchy about other girls). The guys liked sci fi, and we played with all of the ideas that have since come into being in this Absurd age.
So funny...what a great story...yeah, you lucked out with the Latin!! Lesser of two evils actually turned out to be a good choice!
You can fix the car, but can you cook a chicken? Boys should have taken Home Economics...it would make them more attractive to the girls!
Maybe we should ALL have had to take HomeEc AND Shop (learn how to cook the eggs, pay the bills, and fix the things!). My Aunt was a HomeEc teacher and at least taught me how to sew after my mother died (she taught me some, too), and I took Shop in highschool. Knowing how to cook and money skills would have been nice to go into adulthood with instead of learning how to AS an actual dang adult!
I've currently been wondering if I could find a trade school for my 6 year old boy! ha! He just wants to learn how to do everything. We homeschool, so he's not squashed by school structure forcing him into a box, but there's only so much of me and time, and he still has to learn how to read....but still. Why wait until he's a teen to learn skills he's capable to learning (albeit at an immature level) while he's young? Kind of more as a joke, I guess....but then when I really think about it...it seems silly NOT to...all the core subjects children ought to know can be fused with tradeskills. This boy can already knit with his fingers, cook his eggs, and sew on a sewing machine. He'll work for 3 hours with our farm friends, wants to use all the tools....How many other little boys would just THRIVE with learning this way?!
"I often feel like I am a human who has landed on an alien planet where the aliens look like humans but have slightly different mannerisms, reactions, and responses to things." You nailed it Todd! I feel like that any time I am amongst the sheep. I look around and wonder - what the hell happened to them? Yet, I know, of course but it is literally mind boggling. Happy New Year!!
If you actually DO know what happened to them, please share! Speaking of...there is a great new book out by Dr. Michael Nehls titled "The Indoctrinated Brain"...he has a theory, and although frightening, it really does resonate with me. He has an interview with Maria Zeee if you want to learn a bit about him. And I have a transcript of that interview if you would rather read it than watch the interview...
BTW...goes for anyone reading this...let me know if you want a copy of the transcript...write directly to me, kingshrew@auraboros.com (calling myself "king" is a joke I am sure you all will understand..😆)
Hi Todd, when I say I know what happened to the sheep I think they were brainwashed, pure and simple. First came the fear element which opened them up to the belief of what the media, their doctors, their friends and neighbours told them. It was a perfect set up. Scare the s... out of people and then install the narrative you want them to believe. I will email you to get that transcript. Thanks so much!!
Yep
He is also interviewed by David Lorimer on the Scientific and Medical Network.
Cool...I found another interview on Brighteon.
