Most, if Not All, Public Players Are Compromised

Observing and learning from their manipulative methods can help

“Authorities” want you to approve of their giving their enforcers the power to forbid or even penalize opinions they don’t like. The same power will be used against you one day.

Here is a joke from Eastern Europe, when the Communist Party was in power. The joke is about the art of being out of the line:

Old man John is asking to be re-admitted to the party. He is told that if he can recall why he has been kicked out three times, he will be accepted.

“Okay, so the first time it happened, when Lenin died, I asked how much the funeral cost. They said it was five thousand, and I said that was a good deal.

Next, when Stalin died and his picture was on the wall next to Lenin’s, the party secretary told me to remove the picture of that moron from the wall, and I asked, which one?

The third time, the party secretary asked me why I hadn’t shown up at the last party meeting, I said, I would have, if only they had told me it was going to be the last one!”

Being inappropriate is one of my strengths, too, which sometimes turns out to be a weakness.

This article is telling you my relevant history on Substack.

The following source publishes a typical disinfo (well, the whole site is such a source, but what the heck, this is only an example):

https://www.fff.org/2022/12/01/january-6-was-not-a-seditious-conspiracy/

According to the title, January 6 was not a seditious conspiracy. Of course, it was, and you can easily realize that the conspiring party was on the opposite side.

The sad part is that politicians are not going to save anyone, so waiting for such a miracle is beyond belief. DeSantis is a good example. I have lost a few readers after this article, but I am taking my chances again, because the example works:

Previously, I pointed out 12 lies in the title of a Mercola article, which also resulted in a loss of subscribers (well, more people signed up than the number who signed off even at that point):

However, disagreeing with RFK, Jr. caused me even more subscribers to leave, although still more joined than the numbers left:

Demeaning Desmet didn’t help much, but didn’t cause much damage:

Disagreeing with one of my previous favorites, Gary D. Barnett showed he had a lot of ardent followers, who prefer his thinking over their own:

I am serving readers, who are willing and able to think on their own and willing and able to take responsibility for their decisions and for their actions.

How to lie in questions? What can you do to protect yourself from pervasive and violent propaganda? My very first article was about that on May 6, 2022; only a few people read it at the time:
