America’s cognitive dissonance continues to deepen
American Thinker ^ | 20 Feb, 2022 | Terry Paulding

How long can we remain a functioning country?

Our schizophrenic national divide is reaching a point at which the fabric of society is being shredded. The willful adherence to false “facts,” by both media and government actors is impossible to miss. Yet those in power plow forward with evil intention, knowing that the bulk of society will pay no attention; they’re asleep, they don’t care, and the label “misinformation” is enough to quell curiosity.

Compare George Floyd to any victim of black-on-black crime, for an easy example. Floyd was an addict, a bad actor with a criminal record and evil intentions, and had overdosed. The media turned him into a hero, and then everyone stood by, eyes averted, as his death was manipulated to cause riots. Yet the same media never report on continual violence in all our cities where, often, innocent children are the unwitting victims. Such violence is not “useful” in forwarding an agenda.

People must willfully ignore being manipulated. Those of us who notice are shouting into the wind but nobody hears us. The frustration level can become intolerable.

It’s the same with every aspect of society. With COVID, we’ve done just about everything wrong, leaving people both invested and terrified. How could they not live in fear, if they’ve become aware of the ill effects of their vaccine shots? They must close their eyes and ears.

If I were vaccinated, I would be scared every time I exercised, after watching athletes falling over on the field. I would be scared, if I were of childbearing age, and knew someone who had an unexplained stillbirth. I am afraid for everyone I know who took the jab. Will they live long and prosper? We don’t know. The large upswing in unexplained deaths is alarming.

What if the unexplained deaths after the jabs are a feature?

We live in a world which has human slavery, the mass murder of babies, world wars that have killed millions, and genocide time and time again.

What makes us believe all that will stop? Most humans are sick, useful idiots who are too fearful to stand up to anything and instead actively support those who enslave us.

My only answer? See my tagline.

There’s no doubting but that they are.

Meanwhile, despite “official” admissions that the jabs don’t provide immunity or stop transmission, zombies across America, including far too many public officials, continue with the pretense that jab mandates, passports, masks for the unjabbed, etc., etc., are not totally illogical.

RE: “How long can we remain a functioning country?”

I don’t know how to tell you, but this ain’t what I would call “functioning”.
Inflation skyrocketing, food shortages, the economy tanking, the Washington elite preparing for another unwinnable war and much more.
Nope, this ain’t how the former United States functioned.

The author should call it what it is (buzzword alert): Mass Formation under the Fourth Turning, leading either to the Great Reset or the Great Awakening.

We will probably know in two years.

I saw a short video clip of Scott Atlas commenting about Fauci. Fauci said in a Aug 2020 meeting that "we" need to make people more fearful. Atlas said he couldn't believe what he heard. Atlas said public officials need to provide information to make people less fearful.

They had to keep the fear levels up or people wouldn't tolerate the mandates.

This morning on local news, a Black sociologist was lamenting to the Black news anchor about the low life expectancy in south Dallas (and that doesn’t include ANY abortions).

No mention of Black on Black violence. No mention of non stop property crime driving jobs away. No mention of people stuck in their barred up house because parks a ruled by thugs and streets are unsafe for walking. No mention of Blacks actually preferring Fentanyl laced drugs.

Just “we need more government money”. That solves everything.

Doesn’t cognitive dissonance require cognition?

Steve Deace is going through Atlas’s book chapter by chapter every Thursday.

Pence. Don’t hate Pence for not overturning the election, hate him for COVID.

At work the other day, someone brought up the stupid mask requirements for kids in schools, and they didn’t understand why they were still requiring them. I said the teachers unions are largely responsible for keeping that idiotic practice alive, and it is purely about control, totally absent of science. I told the little group that the actual science that had been applied showed that masks actually harm children and inhibits their ability to learn.

These are all highly intelligent, educated people.

They looked at me like a third eye had just sprouted out of my forehead.

Highly educated maybe,
intelligent ?, apparently not.

He did pick Fauci and Birx. It would be interesting to know who picked Atlas, Pence or Trump. I haven't read his book. We don't hear much about the inner workings of the Covid committee except from Atlas and Navarro.
