‘The world is topsy-turvy, things are all wrong,’ to quote Howard Zinn.
The truth is called conspiracy theory and fake news, while the offical media poses as truth broadcasting conspiracies and lies. Those who speak the actual truth are called extremists and domestic terrorists, yet our governments are using extreme measures to terrorize us.
The only difference between those of us who see this strange confusion and those who don’t is belief in the official story. We either believe it or we don’t. Those who believe it tend to do so without question. Those who don’t tend to ask questions - a lot of questions.
Much of this difference has to do with lack of public knowledge of accurate information - and more importantly, the will to find it - both of which are being made difficult in a strategic assault of censorship and misinformation to protect the story.
Transferring Power
The official pandemic story we are being led to believe is not only filled with inaccuracies, lies and absurdities, it has no evidence to support it. Absolutely none. Those who believe it do so from a basic, innate trust in authority and official experts. ‘They know best. Who am I? I’m no expert. Leave it up to them.’
This transfer of personal power to the authority of other people is where we break the ability to perceive clearly, to think for ourselves, to exercise freedom and live by our own choices. We have subjugated ourselves in obedience to those we have decided are our masters, ‘because they know better’.
They don’t know better.
While that still sounds far-fetched to so many, its effects are seen all around us if we care to look.
I love you, Daddy
In our obedience we are children refusing to question our parents. They love us and will take care of us, why should we? To question our parents, to stand up to them, to refuse to be obedient will lead to punishment. They will no longer love us or take care of us. We’ll be all alone then what will we do? We can’t survive without them. We are just children. We need them.
Daddy, save me from the invisible scary bug!
Except our parents aren’t caring for us and they are far from loving us. They are abusing us. And we are not children anymore.
Trusting our abusive state-parent is perpetuating the constant trauma throughout the world in which we find ourselves. Our dependency on its authority makes it worse by the day. We have given away not just our power and freedom but our dignity and self-respect. It’s as if we want to be abused.
Govern me harder, Daddy!
Breaking this abusive relationship is our collective journey, and the cause of so much divide we see in the global population.
Reclaiming Power
Those of us that are standing up, that are speaking out, are clearly upsetting those whose survival depends on this relationship, regardless of how much it is destroying them and their families. Yet it’s the courage to stand up and speak out that will bring us to the love, care and protection we so crave.
We have to show up not just for ourselves but each other.
Speaking out against our abusive state-parent is not a selfish act of anarchy and extremism which they insistently portray, it is an act of love and compassion. It is reclaiming our personal power and authority to govern our own lives, individually and together with conscious cooperation and creativity, not with endless wars, suffering and profiteering by a handful of people whose actions are solely for their own benefit.
The more we trust the official ‘experts’ and their ‘science’, the more we passively comply with the abuse of the state-parent, the more we give away our own authority, the worse this is going to get.
Unless we challenge what we are told to believe, what we are told to obey without question, there will come a day when we ask, "How did we let this happen?"
That day is already here.
“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. [...] Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.
“We recognize this for Nazi Germany. We know that the problem there was obedience, that the people obeyed Hitler. People obeyed; that was wrong. They should have challenged, and they should have resisted; and if we were only there, we would have showed them.”
- Howard Zinn
Have the courage, dignity and self-respect to stand up, to speak out against this criminal global fraud and its wrecking of families, societes and economies, its murder of innocent men, women and now children, while those behind it increase their wealth collectively by the trillions.
The time for a conscious rebellion of civil disobedience is now.

Well-observed, once again—especially regarding those who follow unquestioningly versus those who question and possess “the will to find [accurate information].”
When did so many people lose their intellectual curiosity—if they ever had it to begin with? Clearly, the education system plays an enormous role in deadening people’s innate inquisitiveness, while Mommy Dearest State habituates us into compliance.
