I remember the Central Park Karen story and could not believe what happened to that poor woman and her dog. Insanity and the media and Twitter are primarily to blame. Meanwhile Jesse is still proclaiming his innocence, more insanity. Things aren't much different here in Canada when it comes to indigenous issues. When the Kamloops 'residential school graves' story first emerged, CBC went all out calling the 'finding' a mass grave. Completely unfounded hyperbole, as a mass grave is how they buried Nazi victims, primarily Jews, in the death camps. CBC quietly changed the term to unmarked graves, but the damage was already done. As esteemed reporter Terry Glavin has reported on numerous occassions, as have writers for True North Media have pointed out, there has never been a excavation of the Kamloops site or any later 'discoveries' to prove anyone is buried in these places. The ground penetrating radar is hardly proof and the Kamloops chief who announced this discovery has refused again and again to even release the results of that report. It should also be noted that the 'tale' behind this 'finding' is that native children were taken out behind this school and murdered by the priests. If this is the allegation, then why aren't the RCMP investigating and why isn't the site being treated as a crime scene and thoroughly excavated. Any mainstream media every ask that question of anyone? As well, unmarked graves are common from Canada's past, as wooden crosses were often used and they disappear over time. My own personal example, my father's baby sister who died at three in 1920. She was buried in a rural cemetery and I have searched for and never found her grave in that cemetary. As well, any defence of residential schools in anyway get's you cancelled and labelled as a heartless racists and apologist for white man's guilt. Statues of Sir John A. have been toppled and schools renamed, because of his initiating residential schools. Yet, stranged Liberal Sir Wildfred Laurier didn't end the schools and still his statues stand, perhaps because he is on the right side of the aisle. JT's own father supported residential schools and his statues are still standing. Why is that? On the Inquiry Into Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women, why is it that it barely touched on the fact that most of theses women were likely murdered by members or their own family or close friends, including spouses, common law or otherwise as so many past solved murders have indicated. That is not up for discussion, even though that is likely the root of the problem. Instead it is uncaring or indifferent police that are blamed. And now as you have mentioned anyone coming out against transgenderism is labelled a transphobe or if you are a woman a TERF. I recently listened to an interview former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabard did with skateboarder Taylor Silverman who went public with her experiences in losing skateboarding championships to transwomen. The hate mail she received from the so-called tolerant left was unbelievable. Death threats, doxxing, and of course anti-semitism at its finest. A very topsy turvey world we live in right now.
Similar stories as the “gay bashing”. of Mathew Shepard which was actually a drug deal gone bad. It had nothing to do with him being gay. They made movies and plays about it.

The comments here are responding to an event that happened long ago in ‘modern time measure’ — in fact it is ancient history — In retrospect just another of thousands of portentous events history constantly delivers. Think here “the canary in the coal mine “ — an apt aphorism coined long ago. Coal off gasses and are poisonous so canaries, more sensitive than men, were caged and taken down into the mine. If a canary fell off its perch the men knew to get out of the mine. The gasses were explosive as well as poisonous.
It is well recorded that after a disaster of some kind — especially man made one’s — people are heard to say “we should have seen it coming.”
There is far too much evidence that events of a portentous nature have been accumulating since the end of WWII. For a long, long time, only sensitive people — like canaries — noticed the gathering storm. Off times writers, while recording contemporary events, made reference to something said, say, as an aside that was reported without comment, or without realizing it’s portent.
Unfortunately journalists more often skew left rather than otherwise. But journalism in the years before universities minted journalists was not considered a tasteful occupation. It was déclassé!
Gradually two streams coincided. The main stream media properties were consolidated and the owners manipulated their headlines. Soon these newspapers intentionally slanted the copy to reflect certain biases. The same was true of broadcast properties and even Hollywood.
When journalism became a degreed discipline the curricula included an ideological slant; to say the least. And the graduates sought employment in the most visible and prestigious media properties. And, no doubt, certain of them were more than sympathetic to the ideology all had imbibed in school. And no doubt certain graduates were from the class reporters used to routinely skewer.
In other words journalists were not by inclination muckrakers, but instead upwardly mobile aspirants, co-opted already in their formative years!
If like me you had been born shortly after the war and your parents were widely read and you were a voracious reader from an early age and you were mapping the past and present events — in your minds eye, so to speak — ever so gradually, your map like mine would begin to resemble what for most people would be a fiction.
But unfortunately the main stream received map is an artificial construct. It is larded with falsifiable images. We are the recipients of a big lie! Canaries are falling out of the sky.
It is probably too late to change the course of history. And naming the beast is dangerous. History is on a trajectory which is already leading to tragedy. The future, as always is opaque.
Of what purpose is it to blame the brainwashed? Safe to say though that the brainwashing was and is intentional. The perpetrators of the big lie overlooked certain truths. Sure the masses can be brainwashed. But the Internet is gradually revealing the extent of the lie, and who the liars are. And the chickens are coming home to roost. The fake map is of no use. Millions are discarding it. The problem though is that few people have a map to replace it. Consult the old map as much as you like but it is of no comfort!
The fake map has taken hundreds of years to construct. Dare one critique it? It is so familiar a map that most people have a vested interest in its landscape. Let’s say — as kindly as possible — that for those to whom it is evident, the real map contains monsters!
As Bob Dylan wrote over 50 years ago, “…something is happening here, and you don’t know what it is, do you Mr Jones?”
Most comments one reads are reactionary. They are evidence that most of us don’t see the forest for the trees! The problem is while reaction is real it is passive. The establishment is girding its loins. The likes of Justin Trudeau are to be found everywhere; in the present and in history. Across the planet men and women are protesting and rioting and establishments almost everywhere are the enemy. They have been preparing for this moment for a long time. Much of the money subscribed to ostensibly buy arms to grapple with the “evil other” has been requisitioned to repel the proletariat. Armoured personnel carriers and water cannons and helmeted strong men are poised to be deployed against citizens should they wake up all at once.
Establishments do not always intentionally promulgate or realize most of them have been co-opted by historically deterministic inertia. But still they have worked all their lives to rise up in their respective silos. Each of those silos are populated with all manner of servants of their intrinsic ideologies — their shared road maps — which all shade into progressive liberalism.
My guess is that it is too much to expect that their brainwashed minds can see beyond
their own actions — which have consequences.
Hundreds of thousands of the dead lie in Flanders fields. The lie there because they believed stuff that just was not true. In fact cemeteries are full to bursting, with the dead whom all believed the intentional lying promulgated by their ruling establishments.
Most people believed the COVID scam. How many people believe Putin is the real enemy?
The real enemy is our suggestibility! Entire cadres of people depending on the state for their incomes have been co-opted and they know it. They voted for the very policies which are in truth bribes! The bribes were offered and they accepted them; didn’t they? Knowingly and as often cynically. Canadians voted for socialism. Socialism is merely a word. *But it implies that everyone has been successfully bought off.
Thank you Mr Liehs. It isn’t obvious to most people, that the news they read, or hear, or see, is framed prior to being printed or broadcasted. Nor do they realize that the main stream media is neither owned or controlled by Canadians’. Canada’s Federal Government allowed Post Media to be sold to an American hedge fund, Chatham Asset Management, which holds 66% of its shares — a controlling interest.
The Globe & Mail is owned by Woodbridge, the investment arm of the Thomson family. Woodbridge Company Ltd., is the majority owner of Thomson Reuters. The Thompson family businesses are pretty much American companies. And no doubt the Globe &Mail, which is one of their properties, skews in favour of the Liberal machine. …And we all know the CBC is bought and paid for by Federal Government subsidies.
Most people truly believe the so called news is news which reflects Canadians’ views — rather than outright propaganda. The manufactured news is uniformly constructed. No matter the content, no matter to which media property Canadians’ are exposed, the message has been carefully massaged before it is broadcast.
One hopes of course to countervail the manufactured variety with thoughtful insight. Politicians like Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden are puppets. The words coming out of their mouths are pre-digested and certainly reinforced by the media. …There are no countervailing voices that are not subjected to ridicule.
Though before countervailing voices can be acknowledged by whom are conveniently said to be “ordinary” Canadians’ they first must realize the truth. The truth is we “ordinary Canadians’ are constantly being bombarded my media lies, obfuscation, propaganda, omission, spin — including all its manufactured content, put in the mouths of media trained talking heads. Media training, includes politicians too. Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden presently and of course the Paul Martin’s and Barrack Obama’s and the Clinton’s, Bill and Hilary, and the Brian Mulroney’s and the Jean Chrétien’s and the Pierre Trudeau’s of the world; all intensively media trained. How else could Justin Trudeau appear so serene after being exposed as the liar he is while testifying at the recent enquiry into why the Emergency Act was invoked?
Isn’t this the sort of stuff one used to read about happening in some third world country. All that was missing at the enquiry was Trudeau wearing one of those gaudy suits third world dictators favour. The ones with the huge brass plated epaulets, and the self bestowed medals festooned on the front of the jacket. There he was, denying he ever said what he was caught saying, while pontificating on a small town TV show no one in Toronto knew existed. Was this shown at the public enquiry. No way! Trudeau was “serene” because the outcome of the enquiry was certain. And a farce!
The media ought to have been howling in protest. Every evening millions sit down in front of their TVs for their daily dose of propaganda. Watched just before bed, when people are most receptive, their heads are filled up! They wake up every morning deeply convinced that the opinions they hold are formed entirely by deductive reasoning. Of course it never occurs to them that there was an entire school of theorists examining the effects of mass programming on the masses, elucidating the potential of mass media to affect their behaviour. The Frankfort School, attached to Columbia University in New York, was a school of social theory, known today rather, as Critical Theory.
Theodor Adorno in 1950, co-wrote a book, The Authoritarian Personality. The goal of this work was to explore, on the basis of empirical research to define a “new anthropological type” — the authoritarian personality. Such a character was found to have specific traits such as: compliance with conventional values, non critical thinking, as well as absence of introspectiveness. Something else studied focused on the notion of psychological irrationalism as a source of obedience and domination.
At any rate the Frankfort School and its adherents have had a wide ranging influence including Hollywood. And of course its insights on human behaviour are carefully perused by the handmaidens of the elites — people like of course Klaus Schwab!
Canadas universities are deeply influenced by the ideas and insights promulgated by the adherents of Frankfort School methods and insights. Do most Canadians’ understand to what extent they are brainwashed? Most people truly believe, no such thing as the public being brainwashed exists — they truly believe such notions are science fiction.
I really woke up to this after the first few Liberal scandals. I used to watch the CBC National to "keep informed" until the Schmoozfest following Trudeau's election in October 2015. I remember seeing the colour and gender balanced Liberal cabinet proudly march to parliament hill to be sworn in, and a fawning Peter Mansbridge interviewing Justin at the desk that father Pierre occupied for a decade and a half.
It was around the time of the WE charity scandal that I recalled the months-long coverage of the Duffy trial that was featured on the National each night just prior to the 2015 election. That trial was regarding a case involving about $90,000 in questionable living expenses that seemed egregious at the time, but charmingly innocent today.
It was good that these issues were brought to light back then (although the Duffy case has some subtleties that I believe were poorly explained), but where is the media to ask tough questions on the scandal-ridden government today?
Journalism started leaving the mark during the Vietnam war as Walter Cronkite used his nightly platform to advocate against the war. He left the Five Ws ( who, what, when, where and why ) on the floor of the CBS broadcast center. Ethically speaking he should have resigned.
No clue who this is, but she is a woman and her dog is no attack dog. She has reasons to be afraid, no matter who the fella was. He should get that. Everyone should get that. Makes me sick she had to give up her dog. I don't even want to know exactly how that happened, but dang. You can get another job. You can get through being 'doxxed'. I personally would not be getting over losing my dog. And I'd make someone pay if that happened.
I am so sick of political correctness and "intersectionality". So much so that I would much prefer the sexist 70's to this... I went to one of the most multicultural high schools in the GTA... Everyone got along for the most part. Yes, a lot of people "stuck" to their groups... the Italian kids hung out, the Jewish kids hung out, the kids from the housing project hung out (back then mostly "Canadian" but still a mix) but there were lots of people who roamed between groups. Lots of people joked about each other's ethnic background (I'd guess 80% first generation Canadians). People would ask me, "What are you? Greek, Italian? What?" If I answered Canadian I would get a look like what the hell are you talking about?! We could all tease and make fun of each other. Sometimes it went to far but we were teenagers. If big fights ever broke out it had more to do with what i think was typical... comment about a girlfriend or mother or something on those lines. I don't recall there ever being fights between races.
We all had a thicker skin back then and while I might not have liked being called little lady, at least people knew what a lady was... and the girl's room was a refuge.
The podcast of Megan Phelps-Roper’s investigation of the Central Park Karen story is what I use to enlighten people about media corruption. It is what I use to enter the discussion of Covid. If I go to Covid first, people shut down and refuse to listen. The Central Park Karen story is a better avenue to open up critical thinking.
>>The leftist mob will latch onto something, blow it up so big
Hmmm....! I suppose when we name something, such as, this is a meadow or that is a mountain, the conversation ends. Google's first box answer has taken over from all our former Greek/Latin dictionaries. Not a great deal of curiosity involved with Siri.
It's only the Yanks who have an issue with who is left or who is right. Actually, there is no longer any Left *anywhere* as organized, electable, funded, articled let alone lettered. See how words can shift our opinions and beliefs? I used to "identify" with the Left. No longer. I do not wish to be pigeon-holed by any terminology. The 14th C Sufi mystical Poetess from Kashmir, Lalla, was beyond religious categorization. She gave her identify as: "A somewhat something, moving dreamlike on a fading road", as transliterated by Coleman Barks. As I age, I feel akin to these words...
In the 20's and 30's it was the Red Menace. In the 40's it was Fascist Menace. We even formed an alliance with the Red Menace to fight the Fascist Menace. Once that ended we were back to the Red Menace (Korea, Red China, Joe McCarthy, Vietnam) right up to the point that we set up shop with China which resulted in our dependence on the Red Menace for most of our manufactured goods. This was good for the wealth class who identify with whatever makes them the most money, but not so good for the rest of the population who lost their jobs. Especially hard on the Black community, who were raising themselves up thanks to the post-war abundance of manufacturing jobs (Detroit).
The Chinese Red Menace was then replaced by the Soviet Red Menace until that collapsed, and we needed a new enemy, which magically appeared as the Muslim Menace! No mention of the fact the we backed the Muslim Menace all through the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and continued supporting them to combat the Red Muslim Menace (secular Islamic socialism - Libya, Egypt, Syria).
Now we have a new/old enemy: Imperial Russia! Or is it Soviet Russia trying to rebuild the USSR? I've lost track. Socialist Islam is still the enemy of course (Iran) even though it operates under theocratic as opposed to secular principles, it's still socialism and thus a Menace. That ran its course, of course, and we're now back to supporting the Fascist Menace (Ukraine and the EU) against the faux-Red Menace of Russia.
What always stood out for me, under both Democrat or Republican administrations is how our policies never failed to enrich the true enemies of humanity: The Wealth Menace, i.e. the accumulation of wealth (thus power) in fewer and fewer hands that far from investing in productive enterprise, use their wealth to suppress both secular and religious impulses to improve the lives of the people they (via their political satraps of the 'left' and 'right') claim to represent.
I'm done with all of them quite frankly, and when I see terms like 'left' and 'right' used to describe political parties, factions, belief systems and what-not, I just laugh where previously I used to cringe.
AmeriKa has an undue fascination with money/wealth/appearance and position. None can be brought down 6ft under. Until your country has a true Self-Examination, little will change and the latest IPCC report will dominate as it has for the past few years. The real revolution must happen stateside with an idea known as sharing; i.e., that which is held in common without the demonization catch phrases of socialism and communism. Humans are inherently cooperative *NOT* competitive. Gaia has sent her warnings often enough.
Trish, please look into Christine's research. She and others are coming forth stating the same thing.
The coronavirus has not been isolated. Health Canada the CDC and other gov't bodies cannot produce the docs stating there is a virus.

Gawd how I wish my husband would read the same substacks I read. He still believes what CBC, CTV, Global and CityTV present.
How do you manage it? We would be fighting all the time my husband and I.
Your talk with Chris was so great! I admire him deeply.

Lots of people joked about each other's ethnic background (I'd guess 80% first generation Canadians). People would ask me, "What are you? Greek, Italian? What?" If I answered Canadian I would get a look like what the hell are you talking about?! We could all tease and make fun of each other. Sometimes it went to far but we were teenagers. If big fights ever broke out it had more to do with what i think was typical... comment about a girlfriend or mother or something on those lines. I don't recall there ever being fights between races.
We all had a thicker skin back then and while I might not have liked being called little lady, at least people knew what a lady was... and the girl's room was a refuge.
Being gay was fun before they legalized marriage, now the alphabet people are tedious to be around.
🎯 The Mainstream Media are Corrupt Propagandists Whose Goal is to Deceive and Control the People For the Criminal Globalist Elites

The podcast of Megan Phelps-Roper’s investigation of the Central Park Karen story is what I use to enlighten people about media corruption. It is what I use to enter the discussion of Covid. If I go to Covid first, people shut down and refuse to listen. The Central Park Karen story is a better avenue to open up critical thinking.
What a good example it is. It took guts.
>>The leftist mob will latch onto something, blow it up so big
Hmmm....! I suppose when we name something, such as, this is a meadow or that is a mountain, the conversation ends. Google's first box answer has taken over from all our former Greek/Latin dictionaries. Not a great deal of curiosity involved with Siri.
It's only the Yanks who have an issue with who is left or who is right. Actually, there is no longer any Left *anywhere* as organized, electable, funded, articled let alone lettered. See how words can shift our opinions and beliefs? I used to "identify" with the Left. No longer. I do not wish to be pigeon-holed by any terminology. The 14th C Sufi mystical Poetess from Kashmir, Lalla, was beyond religious categorization. She gave her identify as: "A somewhat something, moving dreamlike on a fading road", as transliterated by Coleman Barks. As I age, I feel akin to these words...
In the 20's and 30's it was the Red Menace. In the 40's it was Fascist Menace. We even formed an alliance with the Red Menace to fight the Fascist Menace. Once that ended we were back to the Red Menace (Korea, Red China, Joe McCarthy, Vietnam) right up to the point that we set up shop with China which resulted in our dependence on the Red Menace for most of our manufactured goods. This was good for the wealth class who identify with whatever makes them the most money, but not so good for the rest of the population who lost their jobs. Especially hard on the Black community, who were raising themselves up thanks to the post-war abundance of manufacturing jobs (Detroit).
The Chinese Red Menace was then replaced by the Soviet Red Menace until that collapsed, and we needed a new enemy, which magically appeared as the Muslim Menace! No mention of the fact the we backed the Muslim Menace all through the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and continued supporting them to combat the Red Muslim Menace (secular Islamic socialism - Libya, Egypt, Syria).
Now we have a new/old enemy: Imperial Russia! Or is it Soviet Russia trying to rebuild the USSR? I've lost track. Socialist Islam is still the enemy of course (Iran) even though it operates under theocratic as opposed to secular principles, it's still socialism and thus a Menace. That ran its course, of course, and we're now back to supporting the Fascist Menace (Ukraine and the EU) against the faux-Red Menace of Russia.
What always stood out for me, under both Democrat or Republican administrations is how our policies never failed to enrich the true enemies of humanity: The Wealth Menace, i.e. the accumulation of wealth (thus power) in fewer and fewer hands that far from investing in productive enterprise, use their wealth to suppress both secular and religious impulses to improve the lives of the people they (via their political satraps of the 'left' and 'right') claim to represent.
I'm done with all of them quite frankly, and when I see terms like 'left' and 'right' used to describe political parties, factions, belief systems and what-not, I just laugh where previously I used to cringe.
AmeriKa has an undue fascination with money/wealth/appearance and position. None can be brought down 6ft under. Until your country has a true Self-Examination, little will change and the latest IPCC report will dominate as it has for the past few years. The real revolution must happen stateside with an idea known as sharing; i.e., that which is held in common without the demonization catch phrases of socialism and communism. Humans are inherently cooperative *NOT* competitive. Gaia has sent her warnings often enough.
