This. "Many of the lies were already so absurd as to be laughable. That is to say that we already reached the point at which the politicians simply stand at the podium and lie to our faces. It's worse some places than others, but there is lockstep unity among the authoritarians. They believe that is the only way to carry power into the next era."

They no longer feel it's necessary to hide the lies. They can lie without impunity. And that is the most terrifying, sad and frustrating part of the surreal world in which we currently find ourselves.

OK, I think the things that Matthew says are brilliant. But, none of us will get anywhere talking amongst ourselves and enlightening ourselves more, whilst meanwhile the masses are hypnotized by mass media. What's the solution?

I think the solution is low-tech, in order to bypass hi-tech. What would that low-tech be? It'd be pamphlet wars, as occurred during the birth of our country (US.) Leave pamphlets around for people to pick up.

What sort of pamphlets (or even books, like "Overcoming the Covid Darkness")? Not pamphlets on mass formation or the global predators-- I mean, seriously? Is anyone who listens to Dr. Fauci going to do anything with such a pamphlet except throw it in the garbage? No, IMHO, the very first thing we need to do is convince people that medicine is being censored. We need to convince people that early treatment for Covid-19 is being deliberately suppressed. If we can do that, they'll take the next step: they'll ask why.

In any case, one reason I don't participate so much in Matthew's other noble projects is that we don't need a few people to see and understand a lot; we need a lot of people to see and understand a little. Think about it.
