It might be a question of taste, but it also depends on the context
Is it possible that it doesn’t matter if it’s red or white? When someone asks you, “Who won, the reds or the whites?”, you might say, “It depends. In 19th-century America, the whites, and in 1917 Russia, the reds.” As it turns out, the same bankers came out on top in each case, wreaking havoc and devastating the Earth for hundreds of years. Are they to blame? Or is it the banking system? Is it human nature itself?
Not much new has been happening in the last few weeks, but the credulous are still being rallied to “win,” whatever that means without their wielding literally no power.
I’ve been sketching up the this post for a few weeks, but today, I couldn’t help going on with it, because the following post contained so many irritatingly-manipulative words and concepts that it made me make my move:
Notably, the author first assumes that “we” is a group of authors on the forum, whose highest priority is “your health and safety,” whatever that means. The second sentence moves the goalpost and conjures up the imaginary community of “we,” who the author volunteers to represent without being asked. I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who uses “we,” “society,” and a number of other words that imply that it’s the (obviously imaginary) community talking, so you must shut up and stop thinking. After that, all hell can break loose, because the author’s credibility is firmly established in the imaginary community, the kind of which most readers seem to find comforting or even reassuring.
Next, the article reduces the reader’s scope of attention by establishing fundamental premises that ensure the author’s conclusions will be correct. The author insinuates that there is a “real” reality without being able to base it on anything else than the fake community created in the first sentence of the article, which raises a red flag by the irreconcilable contradiction. As long as you believe that “society evolved” and “liberal democracy bestowed liberties on the masses,” you are all set; no more need for thinking on your own. The author is going to “unmask” what you haven’t known. If I may intervene, the projection impersonates the abstractions of “society” and “liberal democracy” implies that nobody can be blamed for the current state of affairs, because things “evolve” and take care of themselves. Whoosh. A load off; it looks like nobody has to take responsibility, which hardly anyone has ever been ready to do, anyway.
Even more embarrassingly, the author offers a free reading of the article “out of courtesy,” but the condition is to link your phone (IOS or Android) through the Substack app, and there is no way to access the article on a computer even after I log in, unless I am willing to pay for something that I’m not supposed to know unless I read the whole text. Oh, dear… That reminds me of the joke:
A little boy is selling something at a street corner. A cop goes up to him and asks,
“What are you selling?”
“Cherry pits.”
“What are they good for?”
“They make you smarter.”
“How much?”
“Ten for five bucks.”
“Okay, give me ten.”
The cop walks away, but he returns in a minute and says,
“You tricked me. I could have bought a pound of cherries for five bucks.”
“You see, Sir, you are already smarter.”1
Of course, when it comes to self-proclaimed prophets who know what’s good for you, the media and the Internet have a wide range of offerings.
Fake Medicine, fake History, fake Science of all kinds are prevalent, and most people are busy with the details and focus on petty thieves stealing forks and spoons, while the whole house and everything in it are being stolen.
RFK, Jr. is a riot. He is still fixated on the killer injections, and forgets that there are many other ways people are being killed. That would be alright, if he was not dragging a lot of unsuspecting victims to their grave.
Last time I checked, Mercola was doing the same, except he adds shedding to his edge of limited hangout. Despicable.
Sensationalism and limited hangouts abound with “bombshell” and the like in titles, and news that have been available sometimes for years are announced as something shockingly new2. The only more embarrassing declaration is the omnipresent statement that someone will tell you “the truth,” as if they knew it all, but pandering to the audience’s intelligence and offering cognitive security often overrides caution and common sense. Being a renegade can be as attractive as conformism for many, but only as long as they can join the imaginary community of “we,” where they don’t have to make their own decisions, because “we” cannot be all wrong. That leads to the most powerful method of mass manipulation:
In today’s virtual reality of living online, even being an anti-evolutionist and flat-Earther don’t exclude each other despite the enormous difference between the intellectual levels that assuming them requires. The result is common gaslighting or believing a previously truthful source even after it starts spreading lies or pure nonsense. People who are uncertain of their decisions are impressionable, easy to manipulate to act against their own interests, or to be led by the nose, which extends their loss of self-respect, once they realize they’ve been had and there is no way back. Those who lack self-respect are already a piece of cake to herd around even into their own demise. The enablers and the enforcers are “only following orders,” and the victims claim they have been, or are being, forced (the game can become more entertaining, when all three roles can be assumed and played by the same person). Could they also be forced to cut off their own hands? Losing their face and giving up their soul is much worse, but they fail to notice that, because “they are forced” not to…
Is this “mass formation”? Check out Jon Rappoport’s take on it:
People are rallied into illusionary “communities” that divide them and make them easy to control. Recently, people feel they must take sides in the case of the Palestenians, and they fail to realize that once they do, they have lost:

The government poisoning the public is nothing new. The first such spectacular efforts were through “vaccine” mandates for smallpox, which caused a lot more deaths than smallpox itself. The following is MWD’s best article, incidentally the very first on Substack (however, please, notice that MWD, “one of Mercola’s good friends,” is confirming the current “medical” paradigm by implication, when using “medical” terminology and even virological references):
Agent131711 (sorry, I’m not familiar with numerology, so I can’t explain the number otherwise than self-irony using a long random number), in one of his excellent posts, tells you the story of mass poisoning with methyl alcohol (methanol) during Prohibition:
It’s somewhat ironic is that Agent usually asks you to buy him a coffee that would by him booze, which is good marketing, because tipsy readers are more likely to be generous than sober ones, adding some boost to the fact that Agent’s stuff is occasionally exceptionally valuable. Still, booze sold in the US has been increasingly “contaminated” in the last three years. Two or three years ago, I had to stop consuming alcoholic beverages altogether, because I noticed tiny white residue in the bottom of hard liquor bottles, and beer started tasting like the smell of formaldehyde in a coroner’s office. The cause is probably polyethylene glycol and, perhaps, hydrogels that deliver nanotechnology into the body), and both beer and hard liquor started to contain granules in it that resembled arsenic3. California wine already has enough arsenic in it, but pesticides from grapes (grapes are one of the worst in this sense) can be toxic enough, too. Granted, that’s “only” in booze. In vino veritas, after all.
Besides some of the truth being revealed (e.g. “this stuff tastes great” or “oh, boy, am I not inebriated!”), some other ingredients remain secrets. As the old wine trader intimated to his son on his deathbed:
“Remember, son, it’s also possible to make wine out of grapes.”
Yeast can also be GMO, and in most cases in the US, it most likely is.
As usual, you have to sort it out for yourself, because nobody will take responsibility for your decisions.
I don’t know how far it applies to all police forces, but in some cases, applicants with an IQ over 110 are rejected, perhaps because they would figure out too much to be able to follow orders in good conscience.
“Agent” has also published outstanding materials on the fakery of dinosaurs and on dissecting synthetic “vitamins” (following dpl’s research), but he is also capable of announcing Pfizer products in cheese weeks, if not months after it surfaced in Mercola et al. (https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/90-of-cheese-contains-pfizer-product) or popularize the ideas that there are no satellites (only balloons) and the Earth might be flat. Also, while the news about Roundup has been out for decades, he is announcing it as “the shocking truth” (https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/roundup-glyphosate-population-control).
One can argue that the horrible stench of cheap vodka is due to a lack of proper filtering, because vodka itself is not supposed to stink. High-priced vodka is supposed to use better filtering and cleaner water. The diatomaceous earth used in filtering beer often contains arsenic, and in California, just like in Germany, probably even drinking water that is used during beer production has more than enough in it. Arsenic accumulates in the body and, eventually, it causes death. In the meanwhile, according to https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/241860#symptoms,
A person who has swallowed arsenic may show signs and symptoms within 30 minutes.
These may include:
If arsenic has been inhaled, or a less concentrated amount has been ingested, symptoms may take longer to develop. As the arsenic poisoning progresses, the patient may start experiencing convulsions, and their fingernail pigmentation may change.
Signs and symptoms associated with more severe cases of arsenic poisoning are:
a metallic taste in the mouth and garlicky breath
excess saliva
problems swallowing
blood in the urine
cramping muscles
stomach cramps
convulsions
vomiting
diarrhea
Arsenic poisoning typically affects the skin, liver, lungs, and kidneys. In the final stage, symptoms include seizures and shock. This could lead to a coma or death.
I like the Agent too...
And I've been told not to drink wine made after 2019, although I think that bet is off too. All bets for clean food and drinks are off.
The good news is that the fat lady is not going to be singing anytime soon...she's terrified to eat a thing...
Great stacks, as always, Ray...we love you, madly...and I do mean madly!
We occasionally drink wine, white or red. We haven't a clue as to what all the wineage means. So you win a few. Eventually the probabilities will come calling and you will lose some. Who cares? Just think of it...you are always born free and then it is government, some cultists, organizations, agencies or someone always trying to take away your freedom until the day you pass on.
