The Information Gap
and public-private partnerships in crime
Today I met a friend of a friend, and we sat exchanging views in a casual chat. His own opinions he offered in the contemporary mode, assuming the implied consensus, Orange Man Bad. Though I had described my writings on Substack as, at least formerly, “political,” that description would not hold water now, since I had nothing to say either pro or con on the issue of tariffs or the rest of the Trumpian deck of cards. I did disavow globalist icon Carney pegged as “my man” because I’m Canadian, though I declined passing judgment on his Davos speech.
On the subject of Bill Gates and vaccines I was more definitive, though caught off guard by the most basic of questions: “Do you think Bill Gates is a bad man? What about vaccines—didn’t he save a lot of lives in Africa?” I tried to pivot directly to the end game: “Well, he’s in favor of depopulation, and was the driving force behind whole Covid response, resulting for instance in the skyrocketing cancer rates from the vax.”
My new friend admitted his own post-vax cancer as “anecdotal” confirmation, but seemed surprised when I affirmed that the data was widespread and conclusive. As for vaccines in general, I stated what is now settled science in my understanding, that no vaccine is safe and effective; and that their touted historical success is tainted by confounded factors of already diminished disease. We agreed that it makes sense their adverse effects can be explained by toxic ingredients. But then we left off the discussion to other matters, instead of going down the potholed road of “no viruses.”
This post is in no way meant as criticism of the person I conversed with; in fact I appreciate the open-ended questions, and the reality check it offers me as a commenter on topical issues for public consumption. He said he would look me up on Substack, and I recommended especially 2nd Smartest Man in the World for some of that voluminous research on vaccine damage. At least it’s a start.
But considering all the reading and research I’ve been doing the last six years, especially—not to mention as a dissenter to prevailing imperial agendas since, say, 1963—it’s a tall order to expect to make sense to someone whose views are obviously still filtered through the mainstream, taught to suspect every departure as “conspiracy” thinking. The virtuous Left versus the deporable Right is only one symptom of the vast information gap; the default religion of vaccines is another. Yet to cast it as an information gap feels inadequate.
Would a cram course in dissident thought and research make up for decades of entrainment in the mainstream consensus, overwhelmingly “Liberal” for educated North Americans, and unquestionably pro-vaccine until the Covid madness pried open Pandora’s box of expert bamboozlement and malfeasance? Maybe, by degrees.
But then the challenge begins anew. How is such a person then going to converse acceptably with their circle of established friends, family, coworkers, peers? If the most basic political and scientific questions leave me tongue-tied, trying to convey a radically upside-down paradigm in a few words of casual speech, what’s someone to do after just starting to scrape the veneer off the whole box of lies?
One way is to take refuge in that old standby, common sense. The “anecdotal” and personal proof of a suddenly metastasizing cancer, after all, is likely the most convincing evidence.
Another way is to take solace in the common bond, seeing eye to eye on more uplifting principles such as spiritual understandings, shared appreciation of music and dance, a cordial human fellowship of the heart. Then we know that the media-fueled posturings of Left and Right are just that, and we can meet in the apolitical, or metapolitcal center.
A final insight from this conversation gets back to the targeting of arch-villain (erstwhile philanthropic hero) Bill Gates as “a bad man.” His fall from grace in the mainstream view comes finally on the heels of unsavory personal behavior revealed in the Epstein files. His brand of evil is thus deflected as a personal flaw, instead of a public menace. Just another high-rolling pervert, instead of a mass murderer culpable for crimes against humanity. Thanks to media spin both mainstream and alternative, the effect is (much like the only conviction that stuck to Epstein himself) of a plea deal for the lesser charge, while the larger crimes go unpunished, unaccountable.
