I just said the same thing to my 16 year old. She made the smart comment, “ They’ve been conditioning us for years, Mom. I’m not surprised. “ Heartbreakingly true…
No no, the kids get it. It’s elders who don’t. Zero teenagers are turning on CNN, ABC, going to the NYT or WaPo. The teens realize they are getting screwed. IME anyway
Funny thing is that by banning him they lost the only control they may have had over him, and now he's full steam on his own site/servers and there's nothing anyone can do to silence, shadow ban, or stop him. The same will happen again and again, until they realize the result is always the opposite of what the censors desire.
The thing is, for as long as most of us have been alive -- They've always been this way.
Freedom of Speech was supposed to be *their* weapon against *us* by destroying our communities, customs, and morals.
Now that Freedom of Speech is being used (w/ the internet) to allow enough smart laypeople to connect the dots and unravel the threadbare propaganda, FoS is harmful and must be restricted.
I think back to how in the dark we all were just a couple of decades ago. It was so frustrating knowing that serious things were all wrong, but thinking that I must have been mostly alone. FoS was all fun and games for TPTB until just recently. Hundredth monkey? The internet works both ways, at least for now. Now we know that there are literally millions out there that were just as frustrated. (Go Truckers! and stock up people, this is war...whether we like it or not.)
the analogy of war fits for me. public health order innoculation mandates just keep coming , squeezing the life out of autonomy over our own body and that of nations of children. Like a war, "expert" policy makers can still impose unmitigated damage in the face of defeat, until the costs far outweigh some original misguided belief.
To save face? To defend bottomless damage and sunk costs?
Stay away from the rapidly developing controlled opposition sites that are popping up here to corral energies back into their boxes though. If it feels good or too comfortable, it ain't a weapon in this war.
Sure, ;-) There's always the stunning and brave but somewhat newly disillusioned ladies who lunch and their escorts over at "Common Sense" that need a safe space where when some SHTF, they are continually reassured that they are 'still the ones' and nothing's gonna stop them now. There's Taibbi with the damn red pill stuck in his throat for at least three years now, who get's all wayfarer cool and cutesy when the going gets rough (the guy can dance) for the super cool kids that don't have the cajones to go all the way Greenwald. There's Sirota for that end of the swamp that still thinks that we all don't know by now how slithering savvy those creatures really are. Ton's of True Prog blogs to remind anyone with an income over 40k of how disgustingly deficient they are as human beings... Know your agendas and you should be good. Plus, there is gold in those hills. If one must dig, I should say, it's not a bad dig. Just gotta watch for bait all the time. Stay unfished.
We'll follow you wherever you end up, but hopefully Substack will stand strong. We have got to stop giving in to the forces that want to destroy freedom, democracy, science, and everything good in our culture.
Spotify followed the money with Rogan. Hopefully Substack will be smart enough to realize people are not on their platform to read another regurgitated version of The Guardian.
Really? My take was Spotify was following Free Speech and not interested in dictating Censorship on its platform which is the reason I am on their platform.
We really are in a war right now, aren't we? Without hearing gunshots to most it goes unnoticed. Without the means of communication we lose the war and our freedom. Thank you for staying in the fray.
This indeed is a pretty good model for the current times.
The mistaken belief that one needs to “show strength” has usually been the downfall of kings and petit tyrants. Doubling down leads to either implosion or cold turning hot.
Just like political parties are equally captured so too religious creeds and sects are equally captured. The easy road on earth has led all organisations astray because of the REAL financial cost of behaving morally. You cannot compete if you play nice, you have to twist the rules of you get out competed by the vast majority or companies or sects that are quite happy to twist the rules.
So you may be right, the Catholic Church may have been doing the right thing before 1958 (I have now knowledge about the incidence you speak of) but I do not believe they are a 'special' or 'God given' religion more than any other. Some are suspect and some seem decent but none as far as can be proven have exclusive rights to being the chosen sect. Sorry that will not fly even amongst logical thinking Catholics and that may get you wondering how many Catholics believe in their own sect for no factual reason besides having been told to do so.
I am not against any religion but I believe that systems that have more financial power than spiritual power should be classified according to their finances and not their spirituality, that fair right, I mean for their spiritual qualities anyway.
Couldn't agree more but the phrase caught me totally off guard. My first thought was 2nd Ave Deli & brisket sandwich with a hefty slab of Babka to finish. oooohh yummm! :~)
It's good to have a contingency plan. But I'm feeling rather optimistic, with things like Substack making their post on the matter, and Joe Rogan winning over Neil Young. Also, hearing that Gavin Newsom is vacillating regarding covid vaccine requirements for children. I was more surprised when he did the super pro-vaccine stance, full well knowing that he personally has antivax friends in his social circle. The anti-science Operation Warp Speed marketing campaign has been a smashing success in its attack on science, and it looks to me as though we are on the winning side - and it will soon be clear to everyone that we are.
Oh...just wait...they won't give up power and control so easily...if they were...Biden would not be doubling down on his Covid health plan - yes..mandates are gone...but he's moving forward with a more permanent and toothy requirement that will get us all...and you watch - it will be vaccines for all - everywhere...and the NWO with UN and WEF and their Great Reset and pals..will all continue to move in step toward their plans...make no mistake this is NOT a theory - this is truth - and you need only listen to what they say - what they have said and printed (some of which they have since taken down b/c they have gotten push back and realized they have said too much too soon.) But they WILL not give back the controls they have had...FDA is not to be trusted ever again - they took back emergency approval of monoclonal antibody treatments the day AFTER Berenson was on FOX citing the VAX failures...you think that was a coincidence? Um...no....who does that...on the basis of "It's not likely effective against Omicron and barely anyone has any other variant now.." WHAT??? No....no legitimate - honest, health minded organization would pull a treatment that works...actually works...even for some...that is TOTALLY safe...EYES WIDE OPEN people...the more truth that comes out...the more they have to double down on other things and the quicker we get to the next bio-weapon...and it will be truly dangerous...mark my words...and many others...and I predict it will hit long about November 2022. ahem.
There's a planned cyber pandemic incoming. It makes perfect sense from the globalists perspective to be released once the narrative has almost collapsed but not quite fully. Organized resistance might prove quite difficult at that point. I wouldn't be that optimistic.
Thank you. I knew when Ron Johnson referred to Substack that the mainstream would take notice. Substack is making a big difference. Then Alex Berenson warned. Keep us posted.
So glad you have a backup plan. I’m wondering if there has been any indication that the attacks on Substack might be attracting people to it who didn’t know of its existence or whose curiosity revealed to them what great writers it has? You know, like the Streisand effect? Such backfiring would be nice.
That we are even having this conversation in a Western democracy shows just how low things have got in the last two years.
I just said the same thing to my 16 year old. She made the smart comment, “ They’ve been conditioning us for years, Mom. I’m not surprised. “ Heartbreakingly true…
Your teenager is very wise!
Wow! What a wise and rare 16 year old! Good job mom!
Refreshing. Good for her. Gives me hope the younger generation is aware of being manipulated.
Love this answer! Very smart!!
Great kid!
She is an old soul.
No no, the kids get it. It’s elders who don’t. Zero teenagers are turning on CNN, ABC, going to the NYT or WaPo. The teens realize they are getting screwed. IME anyway
First they came for Alex Jones, and that's how we should have known he was always right.
Far from always right, but always an alternate view & on balance a far better record of accuracy than legacy media presstitutes.
No one is always right, but usually right rather like David Icke.
Funny thing is that by banning him they lost the only control they may have had over him, and now he's full steam on his own site/servers and there's nothing anyone can do to silence, shadow ban, or stop him. The same will happen again and again, until they realize the result is always the opposite of what the censors desire.

Am hoping for the Streisand Effect in that more people are now aware of something called Substack and are checking it out.
That's what led me here.
Ditto!
Stay away from the rapidly developing controlled opposition sites that are popping up here to corral energies back into their boxes though. If it feels good or too comfortable, it ain't a weapon in this war.
Do any examples spring to mind?
Sure, ;-) There's always the stunning and brave but somewhat newly disillusioned ladies who lunch and their escorts over at "Common Sense" that need a safe space where when some SHTF, they are continually reassured that they are 'still the ones' and nothing's gonna stop them now.

Really nicely done. Berenson fits with Taibbi, as far as I can tell. Love this perspective.
Godspeed, Eugyppius. Thank you for all you do.
We'll follow you wherever you end up, but hopefully Substack will stand strong. We have got to stop giving in to the forces that want to destroy freedom, democracy, science, and everything good in our culture.
Spotify did it. There's a little hope.
Spotify followed the money with Rogan. Hopefully Substack will be smart enough to realize people are not on their platform to read another regurgitated version of The Guardian.
Hopefully Substack will learn the lesson of the sorry tale of Tumblr.
Like that thing being true about everyone having their price?
Really? My take was Spotify was following Free Speech and not interested in dictating Censorship on its platform which is the reason I am on their platform.
So far. The campaign against Spotify has only just begun.
We really are in a war right now, aren't we? Without hearing gunshots to most it goes unnoticed. Without the means of communication we lose the war and our freedom. Thank you for staying in the fray.
it’s definitely a war, or perhaps a cold war between the elites and their people. weird times.
This indeed is a pretty good model for the current times.
The mistaken belief that one needs to “show strength” has usually been the downfall of kings and petit tyrants. Doubling down leads to either implosion or cold turning hot.
We are in most dangerous kind. Undeclared, global, secret sinister forces in Governments, militaries, police, science, tech, medical, media
Against citizens and a handful of good brave ones from medicine, journalists etc
The Catholic Church stands with you. From last true Pope:
https://novusordowatch.org/2021/08/pope-pius12-moral-limits-of-medical-treatment/
yes pay attention though....interesting you mentioned "the last true pope..." cause this one sure ain't...hmmm...
No pope since 1958.
Catholics were warned of this.

No Mar 2020 without Oct 1958.
When we get true Pope this mass murder is OVER

I will walk u through it if you want.
UTTERLY fascinating and tragic.
But glorious after.
Catholic Church going through her passion, like Her Founder

Yes we are in a war. But drafting our sons to go to Vietnam, Korea etc, was worse. Let’s pray we don’t get there
This would be a just war. I'm 61 and am ready to fight. Death camps, child mass murder, intentional maiming of innocent... the sooner the better

It is insane that free citizens in the Western world should have to take such counter measures just to preserve peaceful speech and discussion.
I think it is not insane. It is expected.
There has to be a credible threat of citizen action to keep the whole thing not going too far.
You're a mensch Eugy. Agree with Holly this will boomerang on the digital hate dummies and Substack will be a net winner.
"You're a mensch Eugy. "
Couldn't agree more but the phrase caught me totally off guard. My first thought was 2nd Ave Deli & brisket sandwich with a hefty slab of Babka to finish. oooohh yummm! :~)
I shall third the mensch characterization. But will probably never return to NYC.
Never stop talking about censorship so substack knows that we know they know we know.
They know.

You. Are. A. Hero.
Thank you. You all empower me in this forum. I see darkness disappear and the light return. You make me stronger.
If you write it they will come.
I’ve lost all faith in mankind if it gets to this. I’m almost 70 and retired. I think I’ll go hide. WTF is wrong with people??? I will follow you……
Thank you. I knew when Ron Johnson referred to Substack that the mainstream would take notice. Substack is making a big difference. Then Alex Berenson warned. Keep us posted.
And when they got Chelsea Clinton involved, it made me sad and sickened, they are out for blood.
She's such a stupid patsy, I hope she's the best they've got. If so, we win.
Righto! I didn’t know why she was put aside. Couldn’t even keep a job until the family foundation if I recall.
So glad you have a backup plan. I’m wondering if there has been any indication that the attacks on Substack might be attracting people to it who didn’t know of its existence or whose curiosity revealed to them what great writers it has? You know, like the Streisand effect? Such backfiring would be nice.
They got me here! Thanks, Center for Countering Digital Hate!
How can we get center for countering digital hate shut down?
Oh sorry. We don't function like that.
