I was in a recent discussion with a shrew friend about covid and the fact that we shrews can’t seem to let it go, whereas sheep have long forgotten the incident and all that it entailed.
Todd, this residential school issue has been politicized to death just like other issues of recent (covid and more). I follow Hymie Rubenstein where he often writes about the untruths about the supposed graves etc. It makes you open your eyes very wide. It is a hot topic and unless one has read more authors who have sourced their work well, you tend to believe the tv and those promoting the falsehoods. I haven't read "Grave Error" but I want to. There is a professor too Frances W......., and she tried in vain to just get people to listen but instead they attacked her physically and verbally. It is so disturbing how far we have dropped as human beings, literally hating people and wanting them jailed or worse for sharing a different opinion than theirs. This can and will only get worse because this behaviour is almost encouraged by those in power.
You are correct as usual. Covid was the test for all the future horrors to follow. As the government lies, and steals and kills - the morons still believe they are on their side.
Wonderful article ! Bringing the subject to a personal level , I harbour no issues with my “ friends “ who insisted on drilling me with medical questions. I have forgiven those who accused me of being selfish and endangering others . The old saying when people show you who they are ……believe them !
Good for you. I can't say I have forgiven anyone...well, forgive isn't the right word, I think from a Biblical sense I certainly have forgiven, but I am still deeply hurt, perplexed, and confused.
That's the best...although, for some, it is difficult...there were some close college friends, quite a few actually, who I have no interaction with. One, my best friend from my Hollywood years, I went back and forth with for a while, but it ultimately ended up "no contact"...I would say my closest friends of "pre-covid" except for one are all gone, and I have no contact with at all...it is family I keep trying with...but everyone else, I am in the same boat as you. Can't say I didn't try...and it was basically THEIR decision to cut me loose, not mine...
I won't let it go. Two of my friends died from the shot and lots of my friends have been injured. No one has been punished for pushing the damn shot. Trump encouraged everyone to get the booster like he did. I'm very pissed about the whole debacle. Sigh.
Yes, pissed here too...big time...fortunately I have had no friends that I know of sick or died or dying...but as I just wrote, I am not in touch with them...and they are all "distant" (most in California) and off of my social media, so I have no idea how they are doing.
Re: raccoon-even though you got it out from under the bed, it left something stinky and the smell won’t go away.
Would people still fly if the requirement was to be shackled to the seat? “If you want to fly, these are the rules. Your choice.” There will always be those who will do whatever they are told in order to do what they want to do. Human nature leans toward stupid.
I wasn’t born red-pilled, but I realized while I was still young that it’s safer to ignore almost every warning that those in authority issue. I don’t even think about it. I just ignore all the drama. As a result, I find out about most of it later, having never realized anything was happening. Probably because I don’t watch the news. The only reason I knew about cvd was because I was taking a disabled friend to the laundromat once a week, and we would go get lunch-masks required for entry. Then the nursing home where I was volunteering started it, and I pulled the mask down to talk to the residents. They were deaf and confused! (The daughter of a resident thanked me) I didn’t stop going until they required jabs or tests.
I didn’t follow the arrows in stores, and I asked the bank why they weren’t worried about masked intruders. Lol
I told people I wasn’t afraid of their germs.
That swinging blade is hanging over us all. Some of us are watching it and some have their eyes closed.
Wow...you very succinctly present so many important ideas here. I am indeed wondering if watching TV, and seeing what that media format has been cramming into our brains for so long, has more of an effect than I realized. Primarily, the commercials.
I watched the last game of the World Series and was inundated with commercials...I NEVER watch commercial TV, and never did all that much growing up or as a young adult. I was astounded how much the commercials were telling all the viewers how they were supposed to feel about things...they basically said, "oh, right, this is what you are supposed to be thinking right now about being hungry, or wanting a car, or how your spouse is supposed to respond to this or that or whatever"...it assumes a very basic "mind set" from the viewers, and if you don't happen to fit it, it will tell you, and suggest how you are "supposed to be"...it was very odd watching this, and continuously thinking, "that's not me, how dare you tell me that is what I am supposed to feel, or be, or think, or find important, or not important"...needless to say, I think most people have been brainwashed with all of this...and it is natural for them to respond to certain triggers the agenda sends out...the sheep have been conditioned...
Yes. I thought about how much pressure there must have been to get those commercials aired without interfering with the game. They cost a fortune.
That game broke my heart. I so wanted Toronto to win. Some of my favorite players are on the Dodgers team (Max Muncy, Freddie Freeman) and with Clayton retiring it was nice that he was involved, but I really wanted Toronto to win. And at home
Excellent article and oh, so true! I remain outraged at what was done to us but my vaxed neighbors, friends and acquaintances say exactly what you are observing, “it’s over, let it go already.” Calling them “sheep” is such a perfect label for them because yes, they have returned to blindly nibbling the grass, the wolf that temporarily scared them and took out a number of them is gone now. I can’t decide if they don’t see it or is it they don’t want to see it. It’s a waste of effort to talk to them about it
The wolf sent in by the shepherds...a shepherd in wolf's clothing...
I have debated using the word "sheep"...I know it is a nasty word to use, but it fits so well I can't stop myself from using it. One thing for sheep to always keep in mind, they can stop being a sheep at any moment...
Personally, I don't think many sheep can stop being sheep. It is ingrained into their psyche now and if Dr. Sucharit is right, their brains are forever changed. I think I have misspelled his name.
A perfect word, and you're following in the footsteps of a grand satirist, Lewis Carroll. Remember his White Queen that became a sheep, a nervous Nelly who angsted and ennui-ed while allowing incompetent agents to turn a blind eye to the dissolution all around?
Oh my, I wasn't aware of this! I need to read "Alice in Wonderland"...I've never read it, but only know it from its on-screen renditions (I scored an animated version called "Through the Looking Glass" when I was a Hollywood composer.)
My long note was in response to Ivan Iriarte… somehow I messed up and did not place it with his comment. Todd, your article is also very inspiring to me!
I woke up this morning having decided to no longer speak up about the Covid days and the censorship and the injustice of it all. I had just been blasted by friends on Facebook because of a statement I made about the No Kings Demonstrations….asking them why they had not demonstrated about the vaccine mandates and censorship of doctors. Being blasted by friends is nothing and after reading what you have experienced, I definitely need to continue to question my friends (actually are they my friends?) . I sincerely want to understand…beyond my dread that something else is going on. Sadly, what else could explain your experience? It does not make sense. I am so very sorry about the loss of your job.. a great loss to people in your community as well as you professionally. I cannot find the proper words to express how your narrative affected me. I will continue to speak up.
"....asking them why they had not demonstrated about the vaccine mandates and censorship of doctors." Certainly a common sense question...and any reasonable question like this is rejected so vehemently it just reinforces our resolve.
Great article as expected from you, Todd. All true. But I can also tell you why I cannot "let go" of covid. In my case, it is primarily because it was an event right on my alley. Climate change and world politics... I am an ignorant dude; but medicine and public health have been my "fields of expertise" all my adult life. It is funny - my main field of work was public health long before it became a disgraceful subject among shrews. It used to be that in public health we studied patterns of disease among populations and their determining factors; then we tried to figure out ways to prevent health problems. I spent my profesional life teaching the subject. No one (as far as I was concerned) was interested in forcing the population to comply with anyones' dictates. I never heard anyone say anything negative or derogatory about "public health". But that changed with covid - the WHO and governments turned "public health" into a public enemy. Now all shrews that I know disparage "public health" as a "bogus science".
The event was life-changing for me because I saw esteemed colleagues become involved in the mainstream. How could they ignore what we have known for decades? We have dealt with "viral respiratory diseases" for decades. Never have we tested people for "asymptomatic infection", much less restrict anyone's liberties because of a "positive test". Never we classified someone's "cause of death" based only on a test result. During the "pandemic year" (2020) I knew 3 people who had "covid"; in 2021, after the "vaccine", more than 2/3 of people I know have had "covid" - multiple times - all "vaccinated". I know this has to be the same experience for all my colleagues. How is it that they cannot detect the BS? To top everything, I lost my job of 35 years for refusing to get "vaccinated". All the above is why I will not let go of "covid".
Sorry for the long post... this subject triggers my rant.
Ivan, you and so many others lost their work, their reputations, and their connections. I'm sorry about that for you. It has been a complete and utter shit show and some of us saw it coming before it arrived. B Gates promised it for several years. The twinkle in his eye about getting more deadly shots given - he couldn't contain himself. Blessings to you Ivan.
What you describe here is unconscionable. And you point out a huge omission in my article, and I really do not know why I didn't go into it. I am thinking of writing a Part 2!
The part I left out, mistakenly, is the other big reason we do not forget, and the sheep do. I focused on the horrors the government et al has dumped on us, and will continue to dump on us, as a reason we don't forget. The more compelling reason is what Covid did to us personally through the rejection of our colleagues, our employers, our friends and our family. This is truly the most unconscionable set of events we simply cannot forget.
I don't know if you want to get into the aspect of government control of discourse and compelled speech - to my mind, a natural consequence of the trauma of covid era control - but how about the bill that two MPs are attempting to table to criminalize "residential school denialism", all in the absence of a single recovered body?
So you mean if I wrote an article about the residential schools, and how their treatment of indigenous kids was not as heinous as the mainstream is telling us (that they did not murder the thousands they are accused of murdering) that I would be brought up on charges of "hate speech"...???
Maybe not today Todd, but potentially if the bill passes. It has become a sideshow of who can think the most stupidest things and then get them passed. There are no bodies. I follow a few substackers who write about the alluding to the graves, all sourced well too.
I bought this Kindle book, but have not yet read it, I had to keep it hidden from my wife but nonetheless she saw I had bought it and she lost her cookies, "So you believe the whole residential horror was a hoax? I can't believe you, that is ridiculous!!" I know for a fact she knows very little about this, ONLY what she has heard in the media. She believes what she hears lock, stock and barrel. I have no problem with her believing something the news tells her,, that's her business, and frankly a shortcoming, but I have never understood why these people take such issue with someone else (in this case ME) who wants to investigate a contrary idea...it isn't that I believe EVERYTHING the government, the news, etc. says is a lie (well, maybe I do) but certainly EVERYTHING can be questioned without losing your cookies over it. I just found the subject fascinating, and odd, and when I see those two feelings (questioning, and odd) I can't help but look...my curiosity gets the best of me!
Here is the first paragraph from the preface of this book, "Grave Error."
"Never in my lifetime, which is now barely on the right side of 80 years, have I known of a book which was as profoundly needed for the restoration of sobriety in public discourse in Canada as this one. "Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (and the Truth about Residential Schools)," edited by C.P. Champion and Tom Flanagan, is a collection of rigorously researched and written aspects of the current controversy, raging under the misapplied heading of “Reconciliation,” about the history of the relations of Canadian native people with the government of Canada."
Todd, this residential school issue has been politicized to death just like other issues of recent (covid and more). I follow Hymie Rubenstein where he often writes about the untruths about the supposed graves etc. It makes you open your eyes very wide. It is a hot topic and unless one has read more authors who have sourced their work well, you tend to believe the tv and those promoting the falsehoods. I haven't read "Grave Error" but I want to. There is a professor too Frances W......., and she tried in vain to just get people to listen but instead they attacked her physically and verbally. It is so disturbing how far we have dropped as human beings, literally hating people and wanting them jailed or worse for sharing a different opinion than theirs. This can and will only get worse because this behaviour is almost encouraged by those in power.
The world truly needs more people like you, Ivan. Please don’t ever stop speaking what you know to be the truth. My personal life experience of unjust treatment and losing my job had nothing to do with Covid because it occurred over 20 years ago, but I refused to stop talking about what everyone else knew to be the truth. It’s a hard lesson after 27 years in the same company, but despite the financial hardship and resulting ostracism I wouldn’t do it any differently today.
Todd you are writing with more flair in these recent posts. :) The humour is well used and well received (my opinion). We can't let all the covid BS go because we see it for what it was and is. It is like a slow drip kill. It isn't an anomaly but I see it too with the sheep. They survived and that is all that matters. They are moving forward, forgetting how many of them wished death upon a sector of the population, screaming and wringing in fear. The number of people who still believe what CBC/CTV tells them is still there. Oh yes, some people have woken up but is it enough? Doubtful. Many are incapable of believing or seeing what has happened.
Yes, you put it very well here (and thanks for the nice compliment). It IS key that they are deciding to "get over it" and to ignore what they themselves are responsible for (their own despicable behaviour). That is a big part of it. If mommy and daddy forgive them, which of course they do, since mommy and daddy encouraged them to behave despicably in the first place, then it doesn't matter that they threw their family and friends under the bus.
Thank you...sadly, it is easy to chalk all of this up to general unconsciousness. Everyone feels so secure with the operators of the machine. No one, but us, speaks up and says "wait a minute, this doesn't make sense"...it reminds me of "The Wizard of Oz"...how Dorothy lost patience with the Wizard after bringing back the Witches broom and he still wouldn't grant her request....she gives him a piece of her mind...and when Toto reveals his trickery, of course all is revealed.
What I saw online today: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-study-finds-4b0
Yes! I saw this today too but have not read it...I see it actually cites the study...want to read it. This aligns with my recent article...

Is he implying that the vaccine has changed their brains? If so, do you have a link? I am very interested in this idea.
Yes, sheep is an approriate word.
Or its derivatives, like "sheeple," "sheepsters," "sheepies," etc.
A perfect word, and you're following in the footsteps of a grand satirist, Lewis Carroll. Remember his White Queen that became a sheep, a nervous Nelly who angsted and ennui-ed while allowing incompetent agents to turn a blind eye to the dissolution all around?

Yes, and a concern that a knock could come in the night. Unforgivable - plain and simple.

So sorry to hear of your personal crappy experience...and yes, I agree with you 100% about Ivan...he is a very important voice.
Thanks, Todd.
Thank you, Debra. As you say, we will keep saying what we know is the truth. Best.
Today there is a court case in Toronto to decide if the vaccine mandates were a violation of Charter rights. https://youtu.be/Iul4x6CYT_0?si=fwGDpPleb5BGMtjo
Will be interesting to see what comes of that.

Great quote!
Todd you are writing with more flair in these recent posts. :) The humour is well used and well received (my opinion). We can't let all the covid BS go because we see it for what it was and is. It is like a slow drip kill. It isn't an anomaly but I see it too with the sheep. They survived and that is all that matters. They are moving forward, forgetting how many of them wished death upon a sector of the population, screaming and wringing in fear. The number of people who still believe what CBC/CTV tells them is still there. Oh yes, some people have woken up but is it enough? Doubtful.

Yes! “More flair”. And I love it! It’s delicious reading
Thank you so much!!
Thank you...sadly, it is easy to chalk all of this up to general unconsciousness. Everyone feels so secure with the operators of the machine.
