I have been following the Ukraine thing. On Youtube mainly. This morning I was struck again my the MSM penchant for always getting things entirely wrong.
Now they are reporting that Russia is shelling a nuclear plant. Completely, utterly wrong.
But so much of what they report always is. In fact we could almost claim that everything they report always is false. Always.
The whole covid narrative was false - and remains false - from start to finish.
The rationales for the invasions of Iraq, Syria, Libya etc all false.
We need an app. A blocker. So that my Youtube searches block any mention of main stream media products. So that my googling blocks them.
So that I never hear from them. So that hopefully no one ever hears from them. So that they wither on the vine.
Their publications are vile and lies, misleading and inaccurate at best but usually just exactly that: vile lies.
But the people that queue up to work for them! That enjoy being ‘presenters’ or ‘anchors’ or whatever they call them. What can we call them? ‘Vapid’ springs to mind though it certainly doesn’t say it all. However it catches something of their essence.
It is time it were gone.
While it is still here we could perhaps do some quick counts and get a line on some realities about our social organisation, the makeup of our body politic, just who and what we are en masse.
We have the lingering mask thing as a ready indicator along those lines. There’s of course more than one reason why people would still wear a mask. Reasons ranging as widely as from dumb ignorance to ironic mocking via stark fear. They’re certainly not all in the same bag.
But they are in some sort of category that differentiates them and I’d believe that the majority of them are not really au fait with the truth nor inclined to look for it.
And the point is they are a normal part of the population. We will always have them with us. They’ll never go away. They are part of the mix. We can see them. They are wearing useless masks against a threat that doesn’t exist and damaging their own health and denying the truth of the human condition, being anti-scientific and obscurantist all at the same time.
There’s an enormous obvious truth that never seems to get spoken or emphasised by those who are otherwise loud in their condemnation of all this madness.
It is that human beings are a part of this environment and a successful part of it.
Humans are well suited to this environment. And they get well suited by constant interaction with it. That is how it is done. We are all engaged in a constant process of monitoring and reacting, feedback loops operating, adjustments constantly being made.
Living in a soup of minute particles living and non living we are enmeshed in them and we enmesh them within us. We’re intermingled. Inextricably intermingled.
We are not one. None of us is ‘one’. We are each a host. Millions, billions of cells and particles, bacteria, processes.
All of it interacting constantly in billions of ways second by second with the environment. We ARE the environment. The environment IS us.
That’s the nature of our reality. We’ve found the way to do that profitably, to flourish within that environment. To flourish as a part of that environment.
We do it by constant interaction.
Now we have this mask thing. This lockdown thing. This vaccine thing. What are they? They are efforts to build a human being that is NOT part of the environment. That does NOT interact with the environment. That stands apart from it. That is ‘spacesuited’ away from it. That is ‘protected’ from it.
The environment IS our protection for it IS us.
But this notion is around that the environment is NOT us and that for us to flourish we need to be removed from the environment and that this is something that can be done.
It cannot. Every step away from the environment weakens us.
It is a retrograde step, a retrograde movement. A step towards annihilation.
These people with masks on are lending their weight to that movement. They are tending towards their own estrangement and eventually annihilation.
Clearly.
And the Western media with its devotion to prescribed ‘truth’ as issued by ‘big brother’ is doing precisely the same thing in the field of human consciousness, rationality, logic, reason, sense.
And it is only with logic, reason, sense that we get health. A mind driven away from logic, reason, sense, the rational, is a mind that goes insane.
The two are the same: attempts to remove humanity from the real, from its enmeshment in the truth of what is and pretend that humanity can be constructed and molded aloof from all around it: all physical and all logical. All reality.
We have a growth of deliberate anti-life madness.
And the main carrier of that terrible scourge, that awful sickness, is MSM, the ‘main stream media’.
We need to block it out.
The main media today is now the web and the information sources are not here or there but everywhere and anywhere. Coming and going. Shifting about, now this one and now that one. We cannot be spoon fed any more by the only literate and informed people in the nation.
We are far beyond that. But still acting as though that’s where we are.
We are now all literate, we can read for ourselves what is written. We can compare notes. And with the web we can now all inform ourselves should we take the trouble.
We used to need specialists with an ability to ‘gather the news’ who would find out what governments were doing, what the people were doing, what was going on and collate it all and present it to us. In newspapers. Originally read by the literate and explained, read out, to those amongst us who couldn’t read or write.
And so on. Got to be an enormous industry.
We no longer need that intermediary. We can consult the source.
We ARE the source.
The world is one and we are enmeshed in it and cannot live apart from it. Neither in the realm of micro organisms nor in the realm of truth and reason.
And the world of information is one and we are enmeshed in it, too and need no one, no mammoth structure to collate and collect and present it for us any more. It is now anachronistic and increasingly used merely as a tool for evil.
We need to start to shun that mammoth organisation and start to communicate directly with each other in the same way that the myriad parts of our physical organism communicate directly with the surrounding environment - if allowed to.
In the same way that a free mind communicates directly with facets and axioms of truth and reason if allowed to.
I’ve never thought I would call for any kind of censorship and I’d rather see this not as a call for censorship - let the msm continue if it can - but block it from my devices in the same way I block advertising and for the same reason: they give predictable messages which I generally have interest in and which I cannot trust and which are not given in my interest but in theirs and which, in the end, I have no need for in any event as I’m clearly capable of getting that information for myself should I want it.
So, yep, bring on the app.
p.s. Yes, our own sources. Here, for example, are some of the sources I use for learning about what’s doing in Ukraine. The list mutates, it is a living thing. Never complete, never finished, never the definitive. That’s how our futures should be. A richness never achieved by locking dumbly into MSM. Never. Ever. Far from it.
These are mainly Youtube channels I could have taken the trouble to provide links but I figure I’m talking about how we all need to apply ourselves a little and tear ourselves away from that dumb madness of the MSM. Well, people willing to go that little ‘extra mile’ don’t need links provided. They’re well capable of finding them for themselves.
And the list comes unpolished, unfinished, just as lifted from my own own notes.
