Even the sheep, or the cows, have sometimes problems with their herd : https://www.thefarside.com/2023/02/02/4

My parents got all four jabs. They're in their 70's and at every opportunity I told them to avoid this dangerous product. I thought, "Well, I guess they'll finally wake up if they get injured." Wrong again. My mother is now paralyzed, and her symptoms fit all the descriptions of a vax injury. The doctors are "baffled". She has recently had her second spinal tap. Still, my parents have shielded themselves within a two-foot-thick lead wall of willful ignorance and fatal incuriosity. They worst part: they were both award-winning public school teachers.

So doc, to your point, going after sheep is futile. Nothing *from us* will change their minds. The only way they might rethink their stance is if the CDC, FDA, etc....all of their trusted experts decide to change course, or get thrown in jail and replaced with *other* experts they decide to trust. Right now, the mafia leaders are telling them that the mafia is good and trustworthy.

[sidenote on controlled opposition]: I've learned a few methods to unveiling controlled opposition They seem to work most of the time.

1. Does the person in question ignore the movement's thought leaders? I don't mean disagree; I mean ignore. Does the person ever mention RFKJ, Bigtree, Malone, etc or do they simply deny their existence? A genuine covid-truther will *build* from the work of others.

2. Does the person in question ultimately agree with the establishment's narrative? Alex Berenson is a good example: he agrees with the anti-Ivermectin narrative. That's a no-brainer. He hasn't addressed any of Pierre Kory's work on the subject. Just nope they're wrong, followed by a torrent of ad hominems.

3. Does the person or group in question lean heavily towards unproven and shocking clickbait? Does their work make it easy for sheep to discredit, instead of pages of credible footnotes and research? Is their work attached to pictures of aliens, bigfoot, or other "conspiracy-sounding" subjects? In short, does their work attempt to toss the entire covid-truth movement into the "kooky" fiction section of the library?

My wife absolutely hates this phrase but I think it applies here - "It is what it is". The sheep and the sheep masters meander down their respective paths. No amount of our individual remediation will have any impact.

However, if we get the shrews together and we start putting our collective wisdom into planning our next steps, then we might have a chance - either to fight or to survive in our own enclaves.

So I'm looking for more information on how the shrews can get our shit together and start to address all the things we believe are coming at us. A benefit of this may be that curious sheep may look to what we are doing and start to wonder if they are missing something.

The time for speculation and rumination is over. We now need to act. But where to start?

Excellent! I've said much the same.

Start by learning a new skill. Make yourself useful. Some are good at growing food, some at building and repairing things, some are best at nursing and health coaching, while other's are best at tasks that require brute force. Find your niche, but expand it! Get out of your comfort zone and learn by DOING. The more agency you reclaim, the stronger you will become, mentally and physically.

Do NOT ignore your spirituality either! Learning all these dark truths can sap your will, turn you nihilistic very quick. Do not allow it to by working on yourself, doing shadow work, coming to terms with past traumas and helping other's do the same!

Become hard to kill. Become a beacon.

Be the change. The universe, creator, God will reward you.

I thank God everyday that I don't have to personally deal with sheep. It would not be good for my personality AT ALL. Nor my soul. Nor my sanity. Dealing with them online is bad enough, so I just point to the fire and move on. It's up to them to see it, smell it, and feel it's heat. We can't walk their path to gnosis for them...it doesn't work that way.

It's lonely, yes. Being a person who demands clear, logical thinking from those closest to you is very lonely, only because it's so rare. I suppose I've always been lucky or just determined to end up with my closest family being able to see through the lies. My hub, our son, my parents and sisters have all been able to see behind the curtain for most of their lives. Even the majority of my hub's very large family have been extremely skeptical and have remained unjabbed, or at least the one's we talk to have. I credit our logical abilities to clean, country living. Raising our own food, drinking well water, being in touch with nature all helps to keep your mind/body/spirit functioning in ways that "city dwellers" seem to lack.

Of course, there are country folk that fall for the lies just as there are city folk who see right through them, so that's not the whole story...but in this case, it has been the most educated, meaning indoctrinated that have fallen for the Big Lie the most. That is, if you can even trust the statistics anymore. I've learned to look askance at any data/poll/published paper even when it supports my thinking, which is not easy to do, but necessary in today's climate of deceit. But, in this case, I have personal observation to lean on, which gives it some credence.

The true blessings of being a "country shrew" is you can truly tell "the man", the sheep masters, to stick it, sideways! Smart meters? Cut down the pole! Poisoned water? Drill a well. Contaminated or non-existent food? Pick some beet greens or stew up an extra rooster. My oldest cat showed up with a mangled, broken back leg several days ago. Having fired my vet (as well as our doctors), it was up to me to make him better. I've done so, and let me tell you, he's healing up so fast! No allopathic medicine needed! If I'd have taken him to the vet, I do not think we'd be doing as good as we are right now... It would have set back his healing journey, of this I have no doubt, because I've witnessed it, over and over again.

We MUST take back our agency. That is the only way to defeat the true evil in this world. And when the sheep notice, they may join us. Even sheep realize the safety in numbers. Become a shepherd by example. If you walk your path with confidence, some will follow.

Might as well pray, and pray hard. Nothing to lose there. Unfortunately as I see it (watching Vera Sharav's brilliant 5 part film series on "Never again globally") talk will no longer accomplish anything. This is a war ... is it time for a real resistance? What might that look like? And, as with most things occurring at a higher level than we as shrews are privy to, perhaps it is already beginning - witness Switzerland refusing vaccinated pilots. 🤞

Personally I’m still trying to not let my anger at the stupid sheep get the best of me. Hard though when you see so many smug eyes over N95s. And family is tough. My biggest struggle with my kids is the gender ideology... kids in their 20’s who “believe” you can change your sex. 🙄🙄🥴😵‍💫😑

“We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy our economy ” – Chris Hedges

Ephesians 6:12 says that we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of darkness in high places.

Most people argue, but neglect prayer. Perhaps this is a spiritual battle, but we are pointlessly fighting on the ground. Hard to know.

Absolutely right on from Hedges...

And yes, I am a firm believer that this is a spiritual battle...but everything can be described as spiritual, but this one is much more obviously that. Prayer is essential.

I don't think the ground battle is pointless, read my "Hail the Dirt Warrior" from a while back. We are spiritual beings living a physical experience, and part of that experience is on the ground. However, that being said, the true battle, the one that will make the biggest impact on how we survive in the aftermath, is spiritual. Which involves the foundation of love, family, values, righteous living, etc. All things that our spirit is already true to....

Hope that made sense.

Perfect sense.

Great points bro. Get to the root cause of any disease to have more chance to eradicate it . If you want to perpetuate it forever, treat the symptoms only.

Ah...thank you! I have used that analogy a million times in my psychotherapy work...but never applied it to this situation. The sheep are symptoms, the disease is higher up the chain. Thanks!

A perceptively worded and very well written article. Possibly it is also the sheep's point of view that they can not really perceive the shrews, I mean: Can a bleating sheep hear a shrew beeping at all?

I like that..."shrew beeping"...they can "hear" a shrew if it bites...!!

Thank you for your comment!

I can’t bring myself to tell people that it’s the jabs. This is particularly true when I warned them that their sickness, brought on by self chosen actions, will worsen if they continue to self harm. And then they go for the bivalent!

And what good would it due to tell a family member their daughter has had repeated neonatal loss because of their self harming actions? I don’t know!

My family thought I was obsessed in 2018 when I started going on about Soros, beginning with his interference in the Brexit Vote of 2016. They see it now. The global .01% masters.

And their plan if they fail to implement globalist control I fear they’ll go nuclear. Literally. After all, they have their DUMB cities. Harrari leaked the truth. They have a Noah’s ‘flood’ plan.

My sentiments exactly. At this point there is no point in telling people already jabbed they have made a mistake. I made this error this Christmas when a huge argument ensured with my sister and her husband about the vaccines. They are fully vaxxed....half way through the argument, when asked "so what is so bad about the vaccines?? What do they do??" I realized the two of them knew nothing...and I didn't want to tell them! I suggested at some point they read the documents coming out of Pfizer, but when asked to supply links I backed down...I have no desire at all to expose them to all of that...they hopefully got the saline batches, if so I don't want to add worry and fear...if they believe they are fine, let them believe that...maybe they are...

Send me a link to Harari leaking "the truth"...the "Noah's flood plan"....curious to see that. I fear the nuclear move too...

Yuval NOAH Harari

October 27, 2022

“ Last month in interview with the Warwicks Economic Summit, Harari explained that when the expulsion of the “useless” class of people are ultimately removed, these elites will be looking to protect and hide themselves from the coming chaos. These remarks came as he warned how climate change is “the most pressing threat facing humanity.”

Technology is obviously the key. It created the problem in the first place.

It’s also a key to the solution, but by itself, technology is never a solution, because every technology can be used for for good or for ill.

It depends on how you [use] it, [and] on which interests you take into account.

So yes, we need people to work on the technological aspects, but we need the politicians to direct it in the right way for the benefit of the greatest number of people and of the entire ecosystem.

One of the biggest dangers in technological utopianism — [the belief] that, “Oh, the technology will solve it” — is a kind of Noah’s arc syndrome, like in the Bible with the flood, that yes, eventually they built an ark, but just for five people or something like that. Almost everybody drowned.

There is a very big danger that with climate change, when people talk about what our future going to be like, there is no “us.” There is no “our future.”

Humanity might divide into a majority – maybe – of people who would suffer tremendously, and a minority that will have the resources, the wealth, [and] the technology to protect themselves, and even flourish in some kind of technological Noah’s Ark.”

Ah yes, Noah Harari...seems a bit appropriate...

Got it...all you say is important....there is definitely a Noah's ark vibe to all of this...the elite in their boat of power, money, control, technology, and the rest of us sitting on dry land that soon will be under water. We are expendable, and the few that survive the deluge will be put to work in our 15 minute prison cells.
