From my perspective, I’ve been warning people that they’re being lied to by the experts and authorities they trust, and I’ve been doing so since the early 90’s.
From almost anyone else in my life’s perspective, however (I’m assuming; no one is very willing to engage me on the topic for some reason), I’ve been spewing nonsense conspiracy theories and none of my “being right” has been anything more than an occasional lucky guess.
I can’t really change that, or convince doubters that I’ve been right if they’re determined to believe that all the reversals in policy made by “the authorities” has been the result of “more information being available” or, “the science” changing. And here, dear reader, is the rub, at least as far as I see it.
When people accuse me of denying “the science” I’m really doing no such thing; that’s the first misunderstanding. When people on Facebook were insulting my intelligence and telling me that I had no education nor basis for doubting all the peer-reviewed studies that were being thrown in my face regarding the safety and efficacy of masks and RNA therapies, I simply suggested that perhaps the data being used to justify everything was not necessarily complete, truthful, or accurate. I said that not as someone claiming to hold additional or conflicting data of my own, merely as someone who could read, and having read numerous accounts of the very experts in question being credibly accused of lying and hiding unflattering data in the past (with billions in fines, say), I doubt them whenever they speak.
Once burned, shame on me; fool me twice, your pants are on fire.
That’s what bothered me so much about the arguments I was in; I wasn’t accusing any of these people, who are actually scientists and researchers in some cases, of being incompetent as scientists or researchers. I really just accused them of being gullible, or maybe intellectually lazy. I suppose now that I type it out it makes sense; no highly educated person wants to believe that they could be scared into trusting such a corrupt group of absolute scumbags as those in pharmaceutical companies, government bureaucracies, and the media that were doing all the fearmongering, and also providing all of the studies and computer models that would supposedly justify the hysteria, right? I mean, if an idiot like me can see through the veil of bullshit, then why can’t an actual smart person?
Unless, of course, they’re right and I’m wrong.
My ego will certainly allow me to be wrong, but I doubt that’s the case. Especially as I haven’t had to change my stance once this entire time, and I don’t just mean about El Cüf. I’ve been sounding the nonsense alarm about major news stories since I found out how little relation the mainstream story about the Branch Davidian raid in Waco had to the truth. Then I looked into several other events in history that seemed fishy and you’ll never believe it, but I found out that the stories we hear in school about the past are largely, shall we say, not precisely true!
I’m soft-pedaling that; they’re utter bullshit. Now, if you were a rational person and you found out that every emergency the USA has been through in at least the last 175 years was launched on a campaign of misinformation and censorship of dissent (and let’s be honest, that’s been the tried-and-true strategy for A LONG TIME NOW, and not just here in the USA), wouldn’t you take everything you hear with at least a little tiny grain of salt? I don’t know about you and your predictive accuracy, but I’ve kept my stats high by immediately doubting all of the panic headlines and calls of “we must DO SOMETHING”, and I haven’t been wrong yet.
Even a friend of mine who I’d thought I’d gotten through to was fooled, at least at first. We talked over the situation at the beginning of March 2020 and I repeatedly heard, “I dunno man” followed by some statement about how it was 20-50x more deadly than the flu, that there were people dropping dead of it on the streets, up to 2,000,000 people could die in the US in 2020 alone, etc. In other words, he basically swallowed everything he was fed “just in case.” And I thought I’d done so well with him after he had his economic awakening…
Bygones.
Here I stand, doubting known liars, and still being called an uninformed, misinformation-peddling conspiracy theorist, while I have not had to change my interpretation ONE SINGLE TIME during the last several decades. Actually, that’s not true; I’ve fallen for deceptively-edited videos once or twice and made statements about the participants before the entire story was out. But those instances have been rare, and I believe I’ve consistently tempered my reaction based on the feeling that there might be more to the story.
Sorry it’s been so long since my last post (as if anyone even knew, lol), I’ll try to be consistent from here on out. There were reasons.
