Does everyone remember all of the horrific "leaked" videos and pictures from China in January and February of 2020 that showed bodies lying in the street and the needed draconian response from the Chinese Government? You do realize that all of it was propaganda, right?

And so you voluntarily destroyed your business by staying home

You voluntarily helped to destroy our economy

All spurred on by a gigantic fertile fallacy powered by reflexivity for the purposes of allowing technocrats to make a global power-grab

And there was never a period of more than 10 seconds that you didn't receive the next push notification on your phone, never a moment that you didn't have legacy media, politicians, social media, and print telling you the latest news on the fertile fallacy:this lasted for 2 years

And you joined in, because "we are all in this together" and you looked the other way when social media told you that it was dangerous to blame any of this calamity on a lab leak, or to say that HCQ might work, or to say that maybe that something was seriously wrong...

And you obeyed and scrubbed your groceries, and skipped your Uncle's funeral, and skipped church - and in reality, nothing is different now than in April of 2020.

And it was all propaganda.

And so after there was mass collusion for everyone to believe this massive fertile fallacy ----

Have you taken a second to say:

"No, this time, I am going to watch what is happening, I am going to see what the other hand is doing, and I am going to watch for the real intention"

"But here we must make an important qualification. The news event may be a real fact, existing objectively, or it may be only an item of information, the dissemination of a supposed fact. What makes it news is its dissemination, not its objective reality.”
