On October 5, 1941, a Soviet bomber pilot reported the presence of a German armored column on a highway eighty miles outside Moscow, racing toward the city’s outer line of defense. He was arrested, because Soviet authorities didn’t tolerate defeatism, alarmism, and absurd conspiracy theories. I’d tell you where that German column actually turned out to be, but you already know.
Another irony here or at least another clue to our bizarre and stupid moment (perhaps unprecedently stupid) is that these "professional information barriers" and/or "dimwitted parasitical human garbage" aren't a cadre of soldiers or union bosses or hired mercenaries—these are the proud products of our most prestigious learning and cultural institutions, the next generation of academic and media elites, our Best and Brightest! LOL
All the facts and events of modern America point to the same ineluctable conclusion: our progressive aristocracy hates America and its citizens, its history and traditions and culture and founding documents. We are being colonized in the same way as any foreign power conquers and controls an enemy territory, except this time the colonizers are our own people.
"We’ll be ignoring these people for the rest of our lives."
A teacher asks Jordan Peterson about pushing back on the woke agenda, saying she's tired of it. He tells her that there are probably 50 thousand times she could have pushed back already and did not, so the fight is lost. How it ends? It's not going to end unless those 50 thousand acts happen.
Conformity is a feature of all socialist societies. Your point about the Soviets and their similar reaction to their fellow socialists invasion and our own media, academia, business, and government reaction to an invasion by a different type of virus from a lab built by the French, payed for by the U.S., and run by the Chinese facists is well-put and accurate. The facist virus lost for the same reason the Soviets suffered so egregiously: no one could explain to the leader that his strategies were wrong and going to be disastrous, because they, too, would end up in a bad way for doing so. We are in much the same situation, with socialists in control of most of our institutions and none of them able to stop their leaders from assuming ever more power, and therefore aggression, against those who disagree with them, no matter how much evidence there is that they are wrong. As you ask, how is this going to end? Not well for many.
This is off-topic, but synchronous with the Biden regime efforts to shut down or ignore anything contrary to the official narrative. The American people are largely unaware of what the regime is doing in the name of the American people in Ukraine. The regime provoked the war, has dangerously depleted the stock of U.S. and NATO military assets to fight a losing proxy war against Russia for political purposes, unnecessarily sending hundreds of thousands of Ukraine youth to their deaths.
The regime’s incompetence has exposed to Russia (and the world) that the U.S. military doctrine is woefully inadequate to counter, let alone go on the offensive, against the Russian military doctrine. What is unfolding in Ukraine is perhaps the biggest geo-political blunder in history, brought to us courtesy of the Biden regime.
Just as with Covid lockdowns, vaccines and the origin of Covid, anyone who questions the official narrative that Ukraine is kicking the Russian army’s butt is ignored or mocked as a Putin apologist.
Chris this analogy is superb. I have been struggling with how to understand what happened to some of the intelligent people I formerly respected before the Great Psyop. One family member graduated first in her college class, has a Masters in Education and teaches high school earth science. She took all the shots and boosters, wore masks until only recently, and actually carried around a personal battery-operated air purifier for two years. Those of us who resisted the scorn from the collective groupthink masters working in the "industry of professional information barriers" are being vindicated. I had an interesting conversation with a pastor who was a missionary in Haiti for many years. Because of the witch doctor influence there, the battle between good and evil is much more obvious. He believes the recognition of truth during the throes of the pandemic was spiritually discerned. I'm beginning to believe he is on to something.
Ellsberg died a hero while Assange rots in an English jail, soon to vanish in the American gulag. Those who attended the mostly peaceful protests on Jan. 6 likewise languish in solitary confinement while Hunter Biden lives the infamous line of Bill Ayers: “guilty as sin and free as a bird”. Obama builds a shrine to his magnificence on Chicago public parkland (on a 99 year lease for ten bucks), while Trump is busted for storing personal documents in his bathroom. No disputing any of this. They see it as justice, we see it as rancid corruption.
Here in the PRWS (People’s Republic of Washington State), we narrowly avoided the legislation of a State AG-led “Ministry of Truth”. AG Bob Ferguson (D) sponsored the bill that would allow his current office to staff that body with the people of the AG’s choosing. Imagine the largest sponsor of mis/dis/malinformation to review and decide on the same.
Yet, after all we’ve been subjected to these past 3 + years, the number of prominent elected officials that are endorsing the creature’s candidacy for Governor is stunning. What makes him most frightening is he has all the malignancy of a Jay Inslee, but with a brain.

Matt Taibbi put up a resonant post, https://www.racket.news/p/from-the-anthology-of-funny, on this theme this morning. Goncharov, Gogol, Lermontov, Saltykov-Shchedrin: they had a great way of describing the blinkered clerks and ranking officials in Russia's government in say the 1820-1850 time frame. And, we know how the tsarist regime ended.
Stalin was quite the character. A nasty bastard and not even Russian at that, perhaps that was why he was so willing to burn lives later in the war. Oddly enough the very border guards that you mention, Chris, were some of the first organized resistance against the Nazis and managed to hold the Nazis back until the Army got their stuff together. Sadly it does not appear anyone will be organized enough to give us time to shore up a defense. This does not end well at all. My only hope is that we can recover. Consider China from mid 1800s to now.
The First Amendment of the constitution, Bill of Rights: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
No so-called emergency orders should be able to set a side anything in the Bill of Rights. Zip, Zero, Nada! If any stupid politician can come along and declare an "emergency" and take away everyone's rights, then those rights don't matter and might as well not exist. We must resist these emergency orders, and every state, municipality, and federal government should pass laws to keep said politicians from ever passing another emergency order.
Churches should have resisted! It is clearly written that the government shall not prohibit the free exercise thereof. It is so simple even a politician should be able to understand it. All they need to do is to instill fear. Hopefully more people will see thru it next time, and there will be a next time.
Hitler was not Bavarian but Austrian. Tut-tut! Don't make this mistake when in Bavaria. You will hear the Bavarians (of Germany, one country) lovingly refer to Austrians (of Austria, quite another country) as "ravine sh*tters". Or, like a colleague from Berlin, who, upon witnessing an Austrian colleague's hapless behaviour, leaned over and whispered in my ear "Isn't it high time we annexed them again?"
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian counteroffensive has unfolded into a ghastly (and entirely predictable) mockery of all sense and reason. Our news-idiots can't even be bothered to notice. They're still muttering about how Ukraine may make only moderate gains in the coming weeks.
Our perception becomes our reality. This happens due to disinformation, a constant bombardment of a media narrative or our inability to research/critically think through information that is provided. The covid pandemic was the perfect firestorm. This will end when people value liberty, it must be advanced and defended.
"professional information barriers, dimwitted parasitical human garbage whose sole function in life is to prevent understanding by pasting “disinformation” stickers on things that you’re not supposed to know." Love "dimwitted parasitical human garbage"! I wish I could just ignore them, but they continue to actively harms us. Are they, perhaps, Spiteful Mutants?
The only way to survive all of the reactionary craziness following these "conspiracy theories" is for the masses to personally think for themselves. Thank you , Chris, for always magnifying that potential in a way that's memorable—even for the mediocre among us!
