@KDTrey5

If I was advising Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) or James Harden (@JHarden13) on HOW to talk to their teammate Kyrie Irving about his fears about receiving the COVID vaccination, here's what I would advise:

First off, you're doing a GREAT job maintaining a positive relationship! 🙏

If you are finally able to persuade him, it will be built upon this positive relationship with one another. When I help family members help someone out of a cult (that's what I do btw), BUILDING this trust and rapport is always the FIRST step. So great work there.

Next...

Listen & really try to UNDERSTAND Kyrie's fears about getting the vaccine. What is he telling you privately? Is he WORRIED the vaccine is physiologically harmful? Does he not just want to be told what to do? KNOWING his frame will be very helpful going forward.

Next...

The Koch empire has had a longstanding effect on American politics. They’ve given untold MILLIONS to FIGHT climate legislation, they've funded Republican/Libertarian candidates and causes + more.

They've also been infiltrating American colleges for YEARS.

Keep reading (THREAD):

When the Koch Brothers give money to universities, this money always comes with CONDITIONS. In the case of George Mason University, the Charles Koch Foundation was given a say in hiring and firing professors. nytimes.com/2018/05/05/us/…

In 2007, the Kochs attempted to give a large sum of money to Florida State. Their conditions:

-The curriculum funded MUST align with the economic philosophy of Charles Koch.
-The Charles Koch Foundation would maintain partial control over faculty hiring. publicintegrity.org/politics/koch-…

In my 45+ year investigation of mind control I've talked about cults. I've talked about trafficking, pimps, multilevel marketing, violent extremism + more.

But there's an area I HAVEN'T spoken enough about:

How colonizers used and still use mind control over Indigenous people.

When Christopher Columbus arrived on this continent in 1492, 100 million Indigenous people lived here according to estimates from historians.

To FORCIBLY occupy and steal Indigenous land, colonizers needed to "justify" their immoral actions.

Enter "The Doctrine of Discovery."

The Doctrine of Discovery was passed by Pope Nicholas V in 1452. It gave European colonizers the perceived right to forcibly occupy Indigenous lands on the basis that Indigenous peoples were not Christian, therefore non-human. It stated their land was "virgin" and could be taken.

@chrislhayes

Tristan Harris (leading voice speaking out about big tech, star of the documentary "The Social Dilemma") recently went on @chrislhayes to talk about Facebook.

In the interview, Tristan noted that many ex-Facebook employees refer to Facebook as a "cult." See for yourself 👇

Corporate cults are indeed real. Enron is the most notable example. Like a religious or political cult, corporate cults have an authoritarian structure, with a leader at the top of the pyramid. Corporate cults usually emphasize corporate cohesion and unity of belief and purpose.

Corporate cults (and all authoritarian cults) include the following characteristics:

Life is a risk. Everything we do is risky but it's important to look at DATA to access the LEVEL of risk.

In 2019, speeding was a contributing factor in 26% of all traffic fatalities in the U.S....9,478 people died.

But do you still occasionally speed?

What about vaccines?

Unvaccinated people are 11 times more likely to die of Covid-19 (compared to the fully vaccinated).

And in the U.S., 705,394 people have DIED from Covid. Allow me to repeat this:

705,394 have died from Covid in the U.S.

That is a STAGGERING figure!
washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09…

There ARE risks associated with vaccines, all vaccines.

But the risks are MINUSCULE compared to contracting Covid without being vaccinated!

We need to use our analytic minds and run the numbers.

186 MILLION people are fully vaccinated in the U.S.

186 MILLION people!

I am deleting my Facebook account.

Facebook has proven to be an unethical company that makes the world worse.

Mark Zuckerberg's utopian proclamation "to bring the world closer together” is utter nonsense. Facebook has only driven people further apart.

#DeleteFacebook

I am not without my contradictions. I will keep my Instagram account (a Facebook company), and a business page but I'm only doing this to help people out of cults (who aren't on other channels). I will not have a personal account nor will I interface on the platform.

The recent Facebook whistleblower revelations should come as NO surprise to anyone paying attention. Time and time again, Facebook has acted AGAINST the public interest. Facebook takes no issue sowing division or giving teenagers suicidal ideations if it makes Facebook money.
