This presentation is pivotal, but not in a good way. It would appear the fix is in.
Dissident doctors, scientists and journalists pulled the curtain all the way back during Covid, each at spectacular personal cost. Meanwhile, those in power destroyed their credibility.
It would be natural for the dissidents to lead any true Covid investigation. But power has other plans. If power is to survive an exploration of the Covid catastrophe, it must prevent the vindication of the dissidents. Instead power will promote its friends to scold them *and* the dissidents equally, so we can have an empty catharsis and get back to business as usual—without any meaningful change. This is the process that ensures no one is held accountable.
I call it the Middle Ground Scramble.
The important slide is at 25:00. Make no mistake, #Drastic is there only to give the slide gravitas. Your new heroines are nominated at the top of the screen. They are the rocks. And Bill Gurley, it seems, is the Siren.
@terryca53306307 That is not safe. I will pray she gets to a knowledgeable doctor who can help her dial it down.
Seriously Terry. THAT IS NOT SAFE. My friend's husband killed himself last year doing the SAME THING.
Thesis:
1. A powerful force (PF) acts with impunity inside the U.S. (examples: JFK, RFK, MLK, 9/11, Las Vegas, Covid, J6, Butler, CK)
2. Official investigations (conducted by captured agencies) actively avoid revealing the PF.
3. Cover stories for crimes committed by the PF are reflexively validated and become mainstream narratives.
4. Domain experts are intimidated and punished by the PF for exploring anomalies in official narratives.
5. Domain experts who do respond to these social threats end up fooling themselves in order to resolve their cognitive dissonance, rationalizing official explanations and "debunking" credible hypotheses about the activity of the PF.
6. Dissident, non-conforming experts are ridiculed, leaving them socially and professionally outcast.
7. Because the social and career costs are extreme for those who question official narratives, a market for sophistry emerges--Experts and laypeople alike seek to rationalize their own complacency against the PF.
@SomeBitchIIKnow It's also the look of a male who enjoys having women who deliver swift kicks to his balls. You know 40% of the current male population. Terrible to witness. Looks like 1 too many beat downs.
I watched the whole sermon - much, much worse than just this clip.
The screenshot is from the beginning of the sermon. He tells people in wheelchairs they lack faith to be healed and yet he needs eyeglasses to read.
Hypocrite.
But, to be fair to Greg, he is far from alone in his hypocrisy. Benny Hinn, Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Todd White, etc., etc., etc., also either wear eyeglasses, have hearing aids, have arthritis and/or heart problems.
And I guarantee you with 100% certainty the percentage of people in Greg Locke's church (or any of these other churches) who have eyeglasses, heart problems, cancer, arthritis, etc. is exactly the same as those in Cessationist churches. Take a random sample of 1000 people in one of these churches and compare it to a random sample of 1000 people in a Cessationist church, and the percentage of ailments will be exactly the same.
@BrianEastwoodx Thank you. It is also Misusing the word of God (a violation of the 3rd Commandment). Who else did that? SATAN. That is his main tool. Ignorant/unstable ppl who twist scripture for evil do it to their own destruction.
@KimMac2002@SecWar So as a Christian are you OK that he mocks God because the "send me" thing he has going is just that. Read Isaiah 6 and consider the context of what God said and how Hegseth co-opts it.
@StephenM If Trump wanted this fixed, it would be fixed. The voting machine backdoors would be fixed. Doge would have gone full speed ahead. So cut the shit Stephen. Just shut it.
@MikeBales I don't do any of those things. I didn't like it 4 years ago. I don't want to be in a war for a country not called The United States of America. Not that the price of drinks has a thing to do with the cost of fuel - something we all need to go to work AND transport your drinks.
