@FrancisxONeill Sorry, not sure what you mean here Francis. For clarity, I don’t buy his answers to those questions and I don’t believe it is possible for him to be who he claims given the countless red flags that surround him.
@martin31684 I believe I do know. I asked you to specify - I wanted you to lay it out in black and white.
If you can’t (and won’t) define good journalism your views on bad journalism are null and void:
At this point, it is honestly safer to assume they are ALL in on it.
Not enemies. Not rivals. Not states helplessly dragged into war.
Actors inside the same managed theatre, pretending to oppose each other while the U.S. keeps the choreography, the funding, the weapons, the surveillance, and the financial architecture in place.
The “war” is the cover story, restructuring is the aim and a bunch of assholes are running the show.
All while the public is handed flags, villains, fake urgency, and theatre, the same shitty people are laughing behind the curtain, moving money, placing bets, and testing how much of the script people will still believe.
@Arwenstar Your ‘gut instinct’ is a meaningless foundation for defending someone you don’t know. He didn’t ask for your input, it doesn’t accomplish anything, if anything it raises the question - where are the people he knows? Echoes of Lucy Connolly ‘Twitter friends only to her defence’.
@Arwenstar How much credibility do you assign to ‘someone from the internet’ defending ‘someone I know from the internet’?
I place zero value on that and anyone with an inch of integrity will feel the same. Why not leave the character defence to those who actually know him?
@Arwenstar … I may be wrong but didn’t your fall out with Miri and others stem from you relentlessly defending other online ‘friends’ that were heavily involved in the Lucy Connolly psyop?
@Arwenstar Again you seem to have a lot of time to dedicate to this. Defending yourself from false allegations seems fair enough but why not let other, primarily/ entirely online acquaintances (that you can not be certain of)
defend themselves?
@Arwenstar You don’t need to cast him aside - maybe just avoid going out of your way to promote someone
who doesn’t want to answer to perfectly reasonable questions and who’s integrity is rightly called into question.
@martin31684 I don’t get why folks would sacrifice their reputation defending him. The Spectator gig, ‘Douglas Murray is a mate’, platforming an endless number of American cranks, the aggressive true believer Christianity. Not saying they should lay the boot in, but he ain’t a hill to die on
One of the strongest forms of cogsec is to surround yourself with beautiful things in all modalities. There is no separation between external stimulus and your mind; you are the things you see and hear. Uglification is a means of political control that seeks to drain your cognitive/emotional resources processing sensory clutter and to ultimately destroy you by transforming you into ugliness. Filling your mind with beauty is an act of resistance and a protective force field
You need to get into the habit of quite literally rebuking certain words. Language is the most weakly defended entry point to the mind/soul; it isn’t grounded in reality like our senses. There are phrases that were designed to have power over you upon hearing them; rebuke them!
