the covid lockdowns never happened just like the russians stole the trump election and we went to the moon and oswald killed jfk. we're fully in the land of orwell in which the ministry of truth defines yesterday as it wishes according to the latest whims;

More than two years since the lockdowns of 2020, the political mainstream, particularly on the left, is just beginning to realize that the response to Covid was an unprecedented catastrophe.

But that realization hasn’t taken the form of a mea culpa. Far from it. On the contrary, in order to see that reality is starting to dawn on the mainstream left, one must read between the lines of how their narrative on the response to Covid has evolved over the past two years.

The narrative now goes something like this: Lockdowns never really happened, because governments never actually locked people in their homes; but if there were lockdowns, then they saved millions of lives and would have saved even more if only they’d been stricter; but if there were any collateral damage, then that damage was an inevitable consequence of the fear from the virus independent of the lockdowns; and even when things were shut down, the rules weren’t very strict; but even when the rules were strict, we didn’t really support them.

Put simply, the prevailing narrative of the mainstream left is that any upside from the response to Covid is attributable to the state-ordered closures and mandates that they supported, while any downside was an inevitable consequence of the virus independent of any state-ordered closures and mandates which never happened and which anyway they never supported. Got it? Good........more.......

 this guy is 'alice' to the legacy media's red queen who tells us that things can mean whatever they wish;

Economist Nouriel Roubini, who's been dubbed 'Dr. Doom' for his gloomy-yet-correct prediction of the 2008 market meltdown, is making headlines again during a series of interviews promoting his new book "Megathreats".

"We have to worry about everything at the same time, as all these megathreats are interconnected..."

 When asked if we're "there again" in reference to the 2008 great financial crisis, Roubini replied: "Yes, we’re here again."

"But in addition to the economic, monetary, and financial risks - and there are new ones - now we’re going towards stagflation like we’ve never seen since the 1970s."

Private and public debt levels globally have exploded from 200 percent of GDP in 2000 to around 350 percent of GDP today, he said, blaming ultra-loose central bank policies that made borrowing cheap and encouraged households, businesses, and countries to take on ever greater debt loads even though many were barely solvent.

But now, facing persistently high inflation, central banks led by the Fed have embarked on aggressive rate hiking cycles, with Roubini predicting that highly indebted and operationally fragile “zombie” institutions are going to go bankrupt.

“That’s why we’re not only going to have inflation and stagflation but we’ll have a stagflationary debt crisis,” Roubini predicted.

In the 1970s, debt levels were far lower than today and so advanced economies didn’t suffer debt crises when the Fed jacked up rates to around 20 percent.

“Today we have the worst of the 70s with a massive amount of stagflationary negative supply shock,” he added.

Roubini has called predictions for a brief and mild U.S. recession “delusional.”.....more..........

 caitlin explores the recent revelations that 'our' government is putting its thumb on the 'free press' scale as if there were no first amendment;

So it turns out the US intelligence cartel has been working intimately with online platforms to regulate the “cognitive infrastructure” of the population. This is according to a new investigative report by The Intercept, based on documents obtained through leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, on the “retooling” of the Department of Homeland Security from an agency focused on counterterrorism to one increasingly focused on fighting “misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation” online.

While the DHS’s hotly controversial “Disinformation Governance Board” was shut down in response to public outcry, the Intercept report reveals what authors Lee Fang and Ken Klippenstein describe as “an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms” in order to “curb speech it considers dangerous”:

According to a draft copy of DHS’s Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, DHS’s capstone report outlining the department’s strategy and priorities in the coming years, the department plans to target “inaccurate information” on a wide range of topics, including “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine.”.........more........

Guest Post by John W. Whitehead

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned.
—William Butler Yeats, “The Second Coming”

Things are falling apart.

How much longer we can sustain the fiction that we live in a constitutional republic, I cannot say, but anarchy is being loosed upon the nation.

We are witnessing the unraveling of the American dream one injustice at a time.

Day after day, the government’s crimes against the citizenry grow more egregious, more treacherous and more tragic. And day after day, the American people wake up a little more to the grim realization that they have become captives in a prison of their own making.

No longer a free people, we are now pushed and prodded and watched over by twitchy, hyper-sensitive, easily-spooked armed guards who care little for the rights, humanity or well-being of those in their care.

The death toll is mounting. The carnage is heartbreaking. The public’s faith in the government to do its job—which is to protect our freedoms—is deteriorating..........more.......

 the scum that masquerade as 'journalists' call unapproved material/information, 'misinformation' are the ones that put this crap on the tv and expected us to believe and accept it;

If you are a mainstream media "journalist," kindly state if you have pushed for any of the following hoaxes. Because if you have, this is about the time you drop your ridiculous campaign to censor your fellow Americans over "misinformation."

 I’m sorry, but I’m not going to let the “we were lied to” crowd off the hook.

I’m talking to you, Ben Shapiro, and anyone else who’s going to try and absolve themselves from any guilt because they were “deceived”.

The CDC announced in June 2021 that the vaccines wouldn’t stop transmission or infection: just three months into the rollout.

Not to mention all of the silenced voices (Dr Malone, Dr McColough, etc) who were sounding the alarm, that people still chose to ignore.

There’s a difference between “being lied to,” and “going with the government, supporting lockdowns, ignoring the truth, doing nothing to support your unvaccinated friend and family, and never speaking out against the tyrants.”

And no, you’re not getting a pandemic amnesty.......https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/yjkjdl/im_sorry_but_im_not_going_to_let_the_we_were_lied/
