When I was a kid growing up in rural Virginia there were a lot of annoying things a city slicker like me had to deal with. Several of these were sharp rocks and gravel. I was obliged to go barefoot, as that was the way country boys navigated the summer months. My feet did not have years of built up callouses, and as my friends and I would venture down to the creek to fish with bamboo poles in hand we ran into a lot of gravel, sharp rocks, and thistle plants—that was pretty annoying. One other displeasure I was particularly agitated by were sweat bees, or so we called them (apparently there are dozens of insects referred to colloquially as “sweat bees”). These looked like tiny black bees and were attracted to the salt that sweat contains. They would land on a sweaty arm, and as they lapped up the salt they would often bite. I researched sweat bees for this article (I didn’t want to get facts jumbled up with childhood apocrypha). None of the insects pictured looked much like the bee I remember. At some point in my childhood I was told they were not bees at all, but rather small flies. Whatever they were, they were annoying. Apparently, they CAN sting, but also bite as they suck up a person’s secretions. And again, who cares, whatever it was they did it was painful, and annoying.
This steady rain of sudden deaths among otherwise healthy people is not likely to wake up the masses.
It is a trauma.
Trauma causes the brain's logic and reasoning centers to turn off. Therefore, daily headlines of sudden deaths will have the opposite effect of what you and I have been hoping. Rather than causing the entire world to look around and say, "What the hell is happening to us?" headlines of young healthy people dropping dead are more likely to desensitize the populous to sudden deaths.
These headlines will serve as a propaganda tool to further enslave the masses by instilling terror and robbing people of their ability to question and reason. Instead of standing up, the sheep will succumb to a belief system that tells them that they too could drop dead at any moment, or worse, their healthy children could drop dead. (And for many of them, this is the case.)
That kind of terror will make them clamber for the next toxic intervention which "could protect them" from a deadly walrus, and the next one, and the next one...
The evidence of the genocide and enslavement is like a flooding river that divides those who will go to war for their sovereignty and those who have never even considered personal sovereignty. Soon we will be on opposite shores and there will be no hope of ever crossing this river again.
Sadly, I believe you are right. The desensitizing is the thing that scares me the most...normalizing...it is clear that is what is coming down...and it has been the "thing" to do for the past 100 years or so starting out small, and building up bigger and bigger...now it is normal for every teenager to have sampled hard drugs, for every kid to have had sex by the time they are 15, for every relationship to begin where relationships used to take months to reach, it is normal now to sit and stare at a cell phone for hours on end, to play video games instead of playing outside, to live at home until you are 30...on and on...
And yes, in the ways you described as well...drop dead at any moment, for any reason...and it is just the thing some people do..
Gosh, love the sweat bee analogy. It is funny I went to the beach and it was like everything was perfect…fun talking to people, no masks…it felt all so nice and ordinary. Then I was back home and hearing about college kids having to be vaccinated to go to their schools this fall, Shakespeare in the Park in NYC requiring vaccine proof to attend, a friend being required to be vaccinated by December of this year in order to keep her job. And yet, there I was at the beach thinking all was well. Yep, we do need hornets.
Your list of things you discovered when returning home is just how all this typically happens…below the surface it seems all of things we “thing” have dissolved are still very active. I just read today that UC Berkeley in California has announced that it will be requiring masks for any student not vaccinated…not for Covid, but for the regular seasonal flu!! This is totally insane and is an example of what’s to come. Please vet this yourself, and if you have found any other information for it let me know. I just read it in one place and have not had time to look into it…Heaven’s to Betsy…what a nightmare…
Same here. I do think there is hope, but the results of that hope will likely come long after my death. In other words, I think it will get worse before it gets better...but the time line is not clear, it could be a while before it gets worse...we will know with more certainty by Christmas.
Hey Todd, I’ve been a little quiet of late because … life happens.
I did have a listen to the interview you did recently and it was great. I must admit that your voice sounded different than I had imagined but that happens often with me.
In terms of who is winning what, I really don’t concern myself with any of that. Just like before with all the insanity that prevailed, I just was sitting here muttering to myself over and over again - I will not comply. It’s now starting to appear that the sun is peeking out from behind the storm clouds but that can change so fast.
Nothing has been removed - it’s been temporarily paused. The perpetrators have not been called out and punished - they are slinking off to their mansions to count their blood money. And really, even if they were, the puppet masters have others in the wings waiting to take over. For example, if the scales somehow tip to result in the ouster of turd-o, they’ve got poor Crystia being propped up with all kinds of heartstring pulling articles of how mean misinformation spreaders are attacking her because she is a woman. That’s how they roll. I don’t look at headlines to learn any “news”. I look at them to put the pieces together as to what the real agenda is.
I think they have given us the summer to get out and enjoy some semblance of things returning to “normal”. Then things are going to flip. Probably fairly soon after Labour Day. And it is going to accelerate. And they will have taken all their lessons learned from the last attempts at coercion and will tighten the screws more to remove any loose ends. The day of reckoning will come for those of us smart enough, and lucky enough to have avoided the clotshots up to now. We will be forced and we will each need to decide what to do. That is where I believe things are going to play out.
So the silver lining in this, as thin and flimsy as it might seem, is that there is a slow awakening of many who are still sleeping. I feel these hidden puppet masters are doing it to themselves. They are continuing to milk the things that have worked so well up to now. And the sleepwalkers are slowly starting to realize this and are starting to connect dots. They will never admit that people like you and I have been right all along. And they will never admit they were duped. Instead, they will start to realize that their rituals of immersing themselves in “news” always gets them upset and angry and they will turn it off. They will start to reach out to others with observations and questions that they would never have thought of saying aloud even a few months ago. And it will grow from there.
I don’t think anyone should take on the task of convincing anybody of anything. And I certainly don’t believe in being smug and claiming that “I told ya so”. It’s hard to wait for these people to wake up but it has to be on their terms. And when it starts to happen, the momentum can shift quickly.
Wow...this is bang on. There is nothing that I would have issue with that you have said here. As you probably know, I have written about this quite a bit, starting with an older article titled "Deep Sea Fishing", then "In the Eye of the Storm" and now "Sweat Bees."
I do believe there is a silver lining like you say, but unfortunately I believe that can all be wiped out in a heartbeat. You are right about the true puppet masters not being adversely affected yet, and even if some sacrificial lambs (ironic, lambs...ha) were offered for elimination, like TJ, Fauci, Walensky (although she is pointing at the CDC in general and yelling, "they're the ones! Not ME!") there are always others in the wings to take their place. The true killing of this monster will be bloody, and obvious.
Yes, I agree, the "flipping of sheep" has to be organic...but we do have to be there to catch the falling bodies. So I think participating in the movement, writing and reading articles, being a shrew and participating in Shrew Views, is essential...but putting forth energy toward specifically flipping sheep...that time has come and gone.
I thought your insight about the manner that the sheep will awaken was right on. I had not really thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense...they will never admit they were wrong, but will come up with some "other reason" they are now on "this side"...but who cares of course...if my wife, for one, never admitted I was right a year or two ago, but stopped complying for whatever reason, I would be perfectly happy.
When Biden took office Jan '21, Darren Beaty (speech writer, chief editor of Revolver News) said Maga is about to learn the difference between perceived power and *actual* power. He was right. All of this "I'm getting tired of winning" talk by Trump and friends started to look hollow.
A year before this, when Biden was 5th (6th?) in the primary and lost Iowa, I predicted that he was going to be president anyway. I'm not prescient or special; I've just noticed over the years that if they want something, it *will* happen. Sure enough, one day, "Breaking news! *ALL* of Biden's competitors suddenly dropped out of the race, leaving Biden in 1st place!"
My point is that little populist wins are indeed like sweat bees. We can't even begin to see the size and scope of our opposition. People say, "but there are so many of us and so few of them!" and refer to several revolutions throughout history that turned out to be controlled demolitions, controlled oppositions, etc like the Shaw in Iran.
Catherine Austin Fitts often brings up the concept of Parallel Society. I think she's on to something. Her theory is that there are actually two levels of social construct: One that we are all mostly a part of (school teachers, office managers, even hedge fund managers), but then there's another group of people who live outside the constitutions of Western countries, and actually run the planet. They don't trade in money. They run *everything*, and the idea that we can battle this crowd is like bringing a knife to a nuke fight. Or a sweat bee to a goliath.
One caveat: the populists are about to go through some serious financial pain. This will wake up many people and maybe cause a revolt and unveil this secret, parallel society.
If you want to know what's coming have a perk at Mr Global, a dialogue between Catherine Austin Fitts and C.J. Hopkins on Oval Medis
THIS is what this has all been about, a global coup d'etat resting on a total rewiring of the financial systems for the benefit of the 147 entities at the heart of over 80% of the world's capital. It was only 60 to 65% until the plandemic. (Source: The Network of Global Corporate Control
Also i see those who've swallowed yo bait are completely hooked. No new data makes them see anything . I heard one telling me all about "sunk cost fallacy" while wearing a mask in his own apartment 39 stories up. Another - a mathematician and programmer! - projecting all over the place about anti-vax sources' (Trozzi, McCulloch), ad hominem articles based on government data. Another yelling at me about horse padte while I successfully treated myself for a bad case of Covid last January. It's similar to Americans still claiming Hussein had WMDs a full year after the State Department said there wasn't a shred of evidence to support this claim.
I have not had a chance yet to watch CJ and Fitts...now that you bring it up here I will make it a priority.
I have no doubts that this you mention with the coup d'état is 100% true...but to get any of these sheep to even CONSIDER it is next to impossible. I know many people who don't even recognize much of the world is starving, that things are going on out there that are utterly unconscionable. I mentioned recently to someone in these comments that people are more terrified that their little perfect world (and much of the life style in the West IS rather close to perfect) could possibly be tainted if the structure of what it is all standing on collapses...i.e., if children stop destroying their lives from mining lithium. That is a true metaphor, but you know what I mean. We get to play video games, scroll endlessly through social media posts, sleep in a warm house with food on the table largely because we have the rest of the world under the whip. All of that is about to change.
That is why people swallow the bait...our "authorities" do not get out there and tell us we are all going to have to suffer, unless it is a means to an end...and the end they promise is a "build back better world"...the vaccine is "Safe and effective"..."you won't get covid if you take it"...etc. etc. If you DON'T get the jab, you will suffer a "long and dark winter." blah blah blah. You are right on my friend, thanks for taking the time to make the comment.
There are several reasons why many won’t wake up. First, to admit the truth of the entire situation is to return to the abject fear of death they were persuaded to embrace by the MSM in the early days of the plandemic. Masks, social distancing (based oh the science paper of a high school girl in Arkansas), lock down, disinfect, don’t touch, we’re all gonna die. Nope. Can’t go back to that. Second, accepting the truth of the toxic spike after you have been jabbed and boosted? Did I just kill myself and my family? Third, that adrenaline fear rush. It can be addictive. And while all of this is interesting, God is still in control of all of the affairs of men. Be not afraid.
"Did I just kill myself and my family?" Yes, exactly. This must be the ultimate level of propaganda: when it is literally coursing through your veins. It's one thing to argue about JFK, etc. It's another thing entirely when you have MSNBC in your gonads.
Yep, yep, and yep...I am a yipping shrew...in agreement!
Yes, and the more subtle point I try to make all the time is this "reprise" of calm and "we've beat the game, and won the prize" is so dangerous because now it is more likely to see a much greater scramble to compliance when the air raid sirens start again to blare. "no, no, no, please don't take our bliss away!!! What do we need to do???? Anything!!!! Masks, lockdowns, oh it was so nice when we were free, what do we need to do to be free again???" If things DON'T get worse I would be very surprised that they would miss this wonderful opportunity to twist the screws even tighter. You don't prime the pump and walk away....

My worst nightmare is to find myself with this river between me and my kids.
Gosh, love the sweat bee analogy. It is funny I went to the beach and it was like everything was perfect…fun talking to people, no masks…it felt all so nice and ordinary.

“If there was hope, it must lie in the paroles…” - Orwell
My hopes are not high, as I observe the seething mass of feckless, brain dead humanity.
Same here. I do think there is hope, but the results of that hope will likely come long after my death. In other words, I think it will get worse before it gets better...but the time line is not clear, it could be a while before it gets worse...we will know with more certainty by Christmas.
My most abject apologies to the community for typos ... I get excited and 'hover' too long over the letters, I think!
