During the Cold War, the religious risked everything to worship and share the Word of God.
In the Middle East, the Copts face extermination under the Muslim.
But in the West, in the comfort of peace, security and plenty, the people have largely abandoned God, and focused in material things and forgotten higher spiritual values. The decline of the West has tracked this abandonment of good and the adoption of corruption.
But those who worshiped in the face of adversity, were of the true faith.
Your post on Orwell inspired a blog on Mind Control... something I fear has taken root within a substantial number of the population, to include here on CS.
In the words of former Soviet KGB defector, Lev Bezmanov, these have undergone such thorough indoctrination that their minds are "contaminated." No amount of facts and reason will sway them.
They are, in fact, quite insane.
We must understand that if we are to understand why it is they write the things they do.
I should let everyone know that oftentimes, I find these gems buried in your excellent compendium blog. I'm just dusting them off and giving them their own front-page blog. The most recent one I found on River's older posts, but it was worth repeating.
Whistleblower Physician Assistant Says NY Hospital Admissions Were 90% Vaccinated, Not Being Reported to VAERS She reached out to the FDA and CDC and was ignored.
Physician Assistant Deborah Conrad had the hospital where she works track the patients admitted and their COVID-19 vaccination status. The hospital is United Memorial Medical Center, within the Rochester Regional Health System in New York.
Conrad’s community reportedly has a less than 50% COVID-19 vaccination rate. Even so, the rate for hospital admissions were approximately 90% vaccinated.
Aaron Siri, Conrad’s attorney, sent a letter to the CDC and FDA on July 19. The letter stated, “These patients were admitted for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to COVID-19 infections. Even more troubling is that there were many individuals who were young, many who presented with unusual or unexpected health events, and many who were admitted months after vaccination.”
Conrad said she contacted the health authorities to report the cases, but the CDC and FDA ignored her.
Additionally, doctors approached Conrad to report instances of adverse vaccine reactions, and Conrad volunteered to file such reports with VAERS. Siri said, “In response, the Hospital told Ms. Conrad they were going to audit the VAERS reports that Ms. Conrad submitted because, ‘in clinical role and as a leader in the organization,’ she was to ‘support [the Hospital’s] approach to the vaccine,’ and submitting reports to VAERS apparently is contrary to its’ approach to the vaccine.’”
Conrad questioned the system. She questioned why an emergency use vaccination was launched to the public without safety gauges and without any notice to medical providers on what side effects they may see or need to treat.
Do you know the only people getting immunity from these so-called "vaccines?"
People who take the COVID vaccines and experience side effects won’t be able to sue Pfizer or Moderna, and likely the U.S. government will not compensate you for damages. Under the PREP Act, pharma giants like Pfizer and Moderna have total immunity from liability in the case if something unintentionally goes wrong with their approved vaccines.
When the Left sing praises of dead military it's not because they were good (see, e.g. McCain, and when his number is up, Kerry).
What I remember of Powell is the asinine decision to stop Desert Storm after 100 hours of action, as he was reported to have been horrified by the scope of the destruction on the Highway of Death.
Failing to exploit that victory, failing to use that momentum to drive forces right into Bagdad, failing to capture and/ or kill Saddam Hussein, gave rise to the need to do it all again, at considerable cost to men, material, and not to mention, the U S taxpayer.
Powell struck me not as a good military leader in any sense of the word. Patton, Montgomery, Rommel were great military leaders.
Powell was political. Militarily, he was milquetoast and marginal. I don't celebrate his death, especially that it was reported that he was double-"vaxxed." Neither do I think he was a great military leader.
For my own part, I am adopting a wait-and-see posture.
Having lived in DC during the Clinton Regime, we all were certain that the Clinton crime and treason spree would end in charges and the ultimate punishment.
Nothing happened, except their treason and crime spree continued and worsened. Indeed, the Obama regime was little more than a continuation of that treason and litany of crimes.
And then, once Trump had been elected, we felt certain justice was coming. Turns out Trump was surrounded by traitors and worm tongues.
Now that the election has been stolen, the Left is falling over itself dismantling the USA and her Constitution.
So, I really hope that you are right and some justice, at least, prevails.
A commanding officer need not master every specialty under his command. He does, however, have to be able to recognize and deploy Subject Matter Experts to their greatest effect.
Nice, almost-deflection from your ongoing tactic to use non-medical, political hacks in an attempt to discredit those with years of experience and high credentials within the field.
Of course, I can't take what you say or write personally. You are not entirely responsible for your own acts, laboring under the mental defect that seems evident.
There is a simple fact of the existence of mentally ill people who live among us. Those who troll are saddled with not one or two psychpathologies, but three or four.
Medical professionals call the situation where three or four comorbidities exhibit in the same person, the Dark Triad, or Dark Tetrad.
In short they revel in causing pain and anguish in others. It's a mental condition, or as mentioned, a group of mental conditions.
The Internet has been a gift to them because they can engage in their behavior, mostly without consequence, from the safety of a distant keyboard.
They best way to deal with them is by banning, or deleting their every post.
Yeah well, certain topics appear off limits and/ or attract a lot of complaints.
I've been keeping one eye open on the audits, threatened prosecutions, lawsuits and whatnot, but seeing as they've repeatedly shown the checks and balances to be broken, I've narrowed my focus, and even that attracts trolls.
We do what we can. If they take down a blog, unless it was objectively in bad taste, post another.
We are living in unprecedented times, with valuable information being suppressed in many countries. Do what you can to spread truth and expose hypocrisy.
Yet another Yapping Denialist tried to "debunk" a source with this as their debunker:
Media Bias/Fact Check
Then, we looked up Media Bias / Fact Check.
Media Bias/Fact Check’ Site Served With Cease And Desist, Gets Fact-Checked
"So, who is fact-checking the ‘fact-checkers’?
"Today, PSI has issued Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) site owner, Dave Van Zandt with a pre-action legal notice to take down the defamatory and false smear.
"Ironically, the self-styled ‘MEDIA BIAS/FACT CHECK‘ (MB/FC) which negatively fact-checked PSI admits it relies on the subjective bias to decide how biased others are. In other words, MB/FC is a pseudoscientific fact checker! ... "Below we help readers to fact-check the pseudo-fact-checker. We put Dave Van Zandt the faceless fact-checker under the microscope and discovered the following:
- Van Zandt Cites No Scientific Qualifications At All
-- Van Zandt Was Exposed By WND As A Fraud And A Liar
-- Van Zandt’s Website (MBFC) Does Not Apply Any Objective Scientific Method
-- MBFC Relies On Unverifiable Subjectivity (Own Bias) To Make Judgments
""Media Bias Fact Check' is truly just one guy making misleading claims about news outlets while failing to back them up with anything, while maliciously changing the ratings to punish any news outlets that try to expose the invalidity of what he's doing."
The bottom line is, if a Leftist tries to offer a source, trying to "debunk" a whistleblower, or a scientist, or a doctor, chances are, that they are a political hack, paid for by Leftist front groups and have no qualifications themselves.
Haven't found a viable Leftist 'fact checker' yet.

Mind Control - Hiding in Plain Sight
We are blessed to have some very good people on CS and I count you as solidly as one of them.I had a similar experience, but much later in life, sometime after the die had already be cast.
During one of my periodic military evaluations, my immediate superior had mentioned that I was "a maverick individualist."
Smiling, I said, "thank you, Sir.."
Before I could even finish that sentence, he spat back: "THAT'S NOT A COMPLIMENT!!"
(but I took it as a compliment.)
(so there.)
