Thank you for your excellent article on psychopaths! I’ve been aware and wary of them for decades. I’ve been trying to explain this concept (e.g. why psychopaths cluster in positions of power where they have great capacity to do harm) to my husband, who has been maintaining that e.g. Gates truly believes he is doing good. I think he’s beginning to get it after listening to you read the piece on them.
I’ll read your with that in mind! It is a topic I’ve (reluctantly) been fascinated by for a long time. In part because these creatures are such a different species, and in part - mostly - because we have to be able to recognize them in order to minimize the damage they cause.
What a great piece...perhaps expose' would be a better characterization?
One thought popped into my head while reading this...getting something wrong, such as "I think we should wear masks to help slow the spread." is not a "moral failing." Telling someone that if they don't wear a mask, you will push to get them fired, ostracized by their families, denied health care, etc. is very definitely a "Moral Failing!"
It isn't that they got it wrong, it's that they were willing to crush anyone who had the audacity to challenge them. That's downright scary and does not warrant amnesty.
This and the Tim Robbins article both boil down to a setup to later describe the call for justice as “intolerance.”
Note that the lion share of behavior involved forcibly silencing people who deviated from or challenged the message. And these articles are essentially asking everyone who was silenced to shut the fuck up voluntarily.
Elon MuSK buys Twitter. A NY judge tells NYC to give every single job back to unvaxxed. GOP looks poised for a major victory.... and this cadre of authoritarians think really hard about what’s next and come up with LET’S ASK THEM TO SHUT UP INSTEAD OF TELLING THEM TO SHUT UP AND THEN CALL THEM MONSTERS WHEN THEY DON’T.
Gosh, it’s almost like their thoughts are bounded on every side by the presupposition that your silence is a requirement for their existence.
On the other hand, just wildly speculating here, Oster and Robbins could both have been recruited to float trial balloons with different messaging to see what will be most palatable. Geez, where's my tinfoil hat…
At this point they are fighting for their careers and possibly their freedom but this started with them approaching the whole problem of promoting their agenda from the position that silencing opposition was within their rights and was preferable to attempting to win over their opposition with reasoned debate.
in general, politicians who get caught having affairs with their interns do this exact thing. they say they are sorry, but they are really only sorry that they got caught. they had a great time; that 18 year old chick was so much hotter than their menopausal wife but now they pull out the "contrition" and the "family values" and hope for amnesty.
just wait until people start dropping dead from the long term effects of these "vaccines" and the people who lost their jobs come together in a class action lawsuit. she may have plenty to worry about.
sure, they didn't know and if they had known then what they do now...yada yada. but when you don't know, when you aren't sure, you don't force everyone to do something that may, in hindsight, turn out to have been very wrong. our Constitution, when it's followed, puts the breaks on such errors.
anyone can use the old hindsight excuse. i'm interested in the people who had foresight
People are dropping dead in droves (cancer, heart attacks, “SADs”, strokes). Funeral homes are backed up for months. Are you wondering why there are labour shortages? It’s like a pressure cooker. They’re fighting to keep the lid on, but it’s about to explode and it’s not going to be pretty.
i keep wondering why there aren't open rebellions in the streets. i personally know 4 people who i'm pretty certain died of vaccine injuries. Dr Malone was injured. Jimmy Dore was injured. facebook keeps taking down Died Suddenly groups when they reach 20,000 members in a week. check out the substack Real, Not Rare for people who describe their injuries.
i hope all the high priests of the pandemic are afraid
The cover up is already underway. ‘Long Covid’ is what they’re calling vaccine injuries. People who speak against the Government are terrorists and God forbid you’re a Christian white woman who posts about knitting on Instagram or Pinterest- hotbeds of extremism right there. Everyone is too scared to speak out.
Great article. This segment in particular goes to the heart of something I was trying to tell a friend the other day:
"All of a sudden, the fear underlying the overconfident tone, the arrogant presumptuous prediction of the future as requiring you, unvaxxed untouchable, to sit down and shut the fuck up rises to the top. It’s as though she’s poo-pooing us! Why would that be? Fear. Because she’s afraid she did something so wrong that it might be considered illegal. (And if not her, whoever encouraged her to write the piece.)"
I also detect that precise species of fear in her piece: the fear of financial or even *criminal* culpability for lies she spun up or retailed. I am in particular referring to her whitewashing of mask policy, after presenting data to the contrary.
You won't find anyone a fiercer proponent of free speech than I am. It's not her opinions that I find criminal, and I wouldn't consider any justice system to be worth its name for prosecuting those. But we have a large and growing body count on our hands, and many powerful people desperate to wash their hands of it. I want a full accounting of those that ran cover for them. I want to know who was paid for what, and when. As I've said before, I'm in no mood to give the Osters of the world the benefit of the doubt. I want to know if she was a knowing accessory to the deadliest, most destructive fraud ever perpetrated, either before or after the fact.
I agree, it is worth scouting around and seeing what laws and precedents could be used for criminal culpability for these types. Your point about there being some sort of "accessory to X" charge is a very good one.
Conspicuous this Oster piece came so shortly after the CDC gave states the A-Ok to mandate yearly vaccines for kids and thereby eliminated all liability for all injuries for everybody forever.
This is literally what I said the second I read her piece. I noticed “amnesty” and I realized she’s hiking up her pants leg to test the depths of the water.
Good catch in her manipulating the history quote. I always found that a stupid quote anyway, because history is literally people repeating the past. “Oh look how they did the Armenians, let do that to Jews.” “Oh look how the US used nuclear weapons, let’s get those too.” “Oh look how tribe “x” had slaves, we should do that too.”
We do our small part to counter the psychological operation being waged on global citizens. We make memes, graphics, art. Everything free to use and distribute. Check out our stuff if you like, and feel free to use them in your articles if you’re so inclined.
We believe the best remedy for tyranny is mockery.
which is why "history doesn't repeat; it rhymes" may be better. but people are so literal and stupid and that they can't see similarities and trends and follow them to their logical conclusions.
we have hosted some russian, romainian and serbian musicians here and they all are watching what is happening now and thinking "gee, i thought i left this kind of totalitarianism behind in the old country." they can see what's happening.
meanwhile, when i shared a quote from an actual holocaust survivor who pointed out parallels to now, a work "colleague" said i had gone too far. there were no ovens so you couldn't make a comparison. besides, no one was killing unvaccinated people; they had chosen to kill themselves by not getting the miraculous vaccine!
i don't know. i was let go from my job of 40 years. hospitals were talking about not treating unvaccinated people and kicked people off the transplant list. sounds like killing to me.
but just because it wasn't literally the same- jack booted germans loading jews onto boxcars headed for a camp with a gas chamber- he couldn't see any similarity. all the unvaccinated were just ignorant fools who deserved to be ostracized from society
According to Meriam Webster’s 1828 dictionary, amnesty is defined as [a]n act of oblivion; a general pardon of the offenses of subjects against the government, or the proclamation of such pardon.
The government certainly was NOT the victim of these heinous crimes perpetrated during the COVID response (and still currently being perpetrated, by the way).
Excellent theory! Excellent analysis. Any rhetoric class could do an entire year on this article! The narcissist cabal floating test narratives while dropping the clues of what they're going to do, just as they always do. No we do not agree, and we do not buy in. Oh, and, h/t to history, give them no quarter.
As a lawyer, he's supposed to know some things about justice. As a Christian, he has some strong beliefs about forgiveness, too. I think his take is pretty well-considered.
In short, we need some kind of "truth and reconciliation" for people who were on the wrong side but didn't do anything genuinely criminal. Maybe they were just scared or weak. We need them on our side now, and going forward. We need a process by which they can genuinely atone and be forgiven.
I don't think Oster is in that category, but I think a big chunk of the population is.
As someone who was bamboozled early on, even (albeit reluctantly) falling for the original shots, I can understand how a lot of people went along with it. At a certain point, though, this credulity gets a little hard to swallow. Where to draw the line?
It's a lot easier to know what to think about the perpetrators of the con. And there's a lot of good evidence about who a lot of those people are. No mercy there.
I think the line is already drawn by the law, but it's a little fuzzy. Fraud is a crime. Conspiracy to commit murder is a crime. Being rude to somebody in the grocery store? Probably not. Of course, not all crimes get prosecuted.
And yes, the whole "truth and reconciliation" thing only works if the real criminals are given real and formal justice. I think the Corona Investigative Committee has been doing yeoman's work in blazing this trail, but there's a lot of work to do still. Jeff has some good suggestions for that too.
"I don’t think this woman feels bad for a second for behaving like an actual monster. (She feels bad she got caught.)"
I think that she's less afraid of COVID now, and more afraid of justice.
psychopaths/sociopaths and essential narcissists lack the ability to feel for others by senses (affective empathy).
Instead they rely on cognitive (calculated) empathy... that's why she needed her degrees to write a pile of looping bullshit
You are right. This was ghostwritten. It is a trial balloon.
The best we can do is a military tribunal.
You can't ever give an inch to psychopaths. I wrote a book about it. Here's a free download: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/t2feeen29q

If you have any notes on that book after looking through it, I'd be grateful. It's about ready to go up on amazon

I'm not at all tolerant of mass murder. And I'm not sorry.
I couldn’t agree more! You hit the nail on the head. Thank you for reading and commenting!!
I feel a little more kindly toward Tim Robbins. He's just asking for us to have discussions, not this amnesty bullshit.
On the other hand, just wildly speculating here, Oster and Robbins could both have been recruited to float trial balloons with different messaging to see what will be most palatable. Geez, where's my tinfoil hat…
Too many coming out now with this bullshit. I think the COVID propaganda money from the feds ran out.
Are you implying that our silence ISN'T a prerequisite for their existence?
At this point they are fighting for their careers and possibly their freedom but this started with them approaching the whole problem of promoting their agenda from the position that silencing opposition was within their rights and was preferable to attempting to win over their opposition with reasoned debate.
Nothing, NOTHING, zero, zip, zilch, nada,
will happen to these (expletive deleted).

Hmm - is asking for amnesty a strong form of admitting gross negligence/wrong doing?
According to Meriam Webster’s 1828 dictionary, amnesty is defined as [a]n act of oblivion; a general pardon of the offenses of subjects against the government, or the proclamation of such pardon.
The government certainly was NOT the victim of these heinous crimes perpetrated during the COVID response (and still currently being perpetrated, by the way).

I'm not sure about "big chunk," but I agree that some may be.
This is brilliant. Thanks so much for the analysis.
Absolutely brilliant. She NAILED the word “complicated” !!!!!!
Thank you so much!
You betcha. Great piece. Dr. Christiane Northrup forwarded it to me so clearly it caught the attention of lots of longtime OG warriors!!
Justice before any forgiveness...in a cartoon world we can learn about proper sequencing.
