Hegel Schmegel

As one who would not like to live in an Orwellian police state, it goes without saying that police brutality against anyone is abhorrent and ought to be punished. That said, the riots and the vandalism that has been occurring in parts of the U.S. is itself reprehensible, and plays right into the hands of those who would like very much for a total police surveillance state to exist. A few months ago I finished an excellent book called Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg, and the chapter titled "The 1960s: Fascism Takes to the Streets" may seem somewhat applicable to this discussion. Makes you wonder whether some of this looting and vandalism has been caused by fully conscious impostors as opposed to just unwitting liberal fascists.

Funny, but every so often I find I like to laugh. Don't know why that is exactly, but I have some theories. New to these forums and don't know exactly were to place the following comments so I hope this thread is okay... One thing I've enjoyed about David Icke's speaking engagements/slide presentations on video (aside from the main discourse, of course) are those insertions of mock signs and posters, with their amusing captions. Some of them are absolute howlers. I've noticed, though, that the audience reaction is not always one of amusement, which I find mind-boggling. Take the lecture Mr. Icke gave at the Oxford Union Debating Society. He inserts a downright hysterical slide image to absolutely zero audience reaction, whatsoever. A few seconds later, another one. Once again I'm chuckling. Whereas, those seated there at the event just sit there like humorless stoics. Q: Did Mr. Icke make up these (mock) signs and posters, or someone else? I think these ought to be made available to buy on the website!

Hegel could tell something was not quite right when back in March, while he was out for a stroll, and prior to the mandating of muzzles in these parts, he happened to pass a canine and its human companion, and both were wearing protective face coverings. I had to stop and do a double-take, to make sure I wasn't seeing two human beings. Even to this day I will see solitary pedestrians ambling along suburban sidewalks with nobody else around them for blocks, with masks on. It's not as if these people are at an indoor public place where these unfashionable indignities are required, but outside, alone. This I notice while I'm out driving. It's absurd. One young man even said to me that in a post-pandemic world how he would like very much to continue wearing a mask, as he believes society should do so even in the best of times, as there's always that one percent chance of catching someone else's cooties, and so therefore a mask should be used so as to protect oneself from potential spittle exchanged from sibilant speech. Next thing you know, someone will suggest that we ought to all learn sign language. My intuitive sense told me from the very beginning that the mask represented to those operating behind the curtain a symbol, equivalent to the dunce cap of yore. It's as if they wanted to see how many sheeple would willingly line up to get their dunce cap -- to be made to look the part of the fool. There have even been medical scientists who have said these masks are for the most part the equivalent of psychological security blankets, that they do not fully provide protection if not are practically useless. Prior to the government here mandating the use of face masks, there were companies who (undoubtedly for PR purposes, primarily) implemented policies making it obligatory that their employees wear them, even in workplaces where physical distancing is practiced, where the work equipment is regularly disinfected, where hands are cleaned with sanitizers possibly containing a recallable ingredient on the hour every hour, and where employees are given mandatory temperature tests each day they show up for work, via an electronic thermometer placed to their foreheads, symbolic of branding cattle. There was at least one case I know where an employee thought that even this was in itself a violation of privacy and stopped coming into work. Why, when there were yet no cavity searches involved, is beyond me.

Enjoyed reading all your posts. I use a dumbphone, myself. But with 5G rolling out, it's said that in the imminent future we will be forced to upgrade. It saddens me that the majority of citizens are so eager to have all this Orwellian technology at their disposal and to want to use it in like fashion.

Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I came across this thread after having posted my first message. Hi, everyone. I live in Ontario, Canada -- a country situated just above the U.S. (specified for that one person who may have flunked geography). I'm in my forties and have been familiar with Mr. Icke's books and videos for some time now, and am completely on board with him. I thought about joining this forum a few times in the past but I'm such a passive introvert that finally the spirit in me has seen to my coming down from off the fence, as if drawn here, guided to where I won't feel so intellectually and spiritually alone and in the minority, especially during these chaotic times. This site and its message areas is like discovering a long lost family of kindred spirits. It's so refreshing to be able to discuss topics as these without having to debate them. That can get a little tiring at times. I've browsed the various topic headings and look forward to tossing in my two cents here and there, every now and again (in hard currency as opposed to paperless) -- which, incidentally, is where I think COVID is leading society -- to a cashless one. What's so difficult about simply wearing a pair of gloves if you're so paranoid of handling dollar bills (conveniently, only), is beyond me.

Hi there Has anyone else heard of this mobile phone app being advertized which allegedly can be used to test whether someone has COVID? Is this for real? A relative told me that she had either seen or heard a commercial for it. She might have gotten this wrong, but if true, I can see how someone might think this of use (although, I'm not sure what the medical community would think of it), but there's certainly a creepy undercurrent to it, which might be its ultimate and ulterior motive for existing if it does exist. Perhaps only a hundred tiptoes away from getting citizens to "police" other citizens via their technological devices for things unrelated to COVID and not criminal?
