Caroline Orr is an expert, a postdoctoral fellow at the not-at-all-authoritarian-sounding ARLIS, the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security at the University of Maryland (which leads the way in COGSEC, or cognitive security, and let’s just go ahead and assume that Orwell would kick himself for not having thought of that term).
I'm glad you do the heavy lifting of reporting on this idiocy from the Left. I couldn't do it. This much exposure to sheer lunacy would eventually destroy my mind.
You wanna see a scary rally about othering the opposition to the point of being subhuman evil, and calling for their eradication as a threat to the nation?
Read the fucking comments on those tweets.
I sometimes wonder if this is all just marketing to make me buy more ammo, because her commentariat scare the shit out of me.
In my little corner of AZ, there’s a dude who wears a Trump mask and sets up shop on a busy road flying a Trump flag and waiving to passing traffic a couple times a week. If you honk, he’ll give you a thumbs up and keep at it. Apparently not too long ago, a woman tried to run him down with her car. Remind me again who the unhinged ones are? These people are the reason I “left the left.” These people are the reason I’m not even sure I can call myself agnostic anymore...I feel like I’m seeing real evil firsthand, and none of it is coming from where people like this woman say it is coming from.
People actually read this lady’s tweets and wholeheartedly agree with her? I just read that whole thread and it’s bananaland. Liberals who were liberals like I am liberal used to at least believe in peace and freedom. Also most had a real
healthy skepticism about government and power. Do they have intellectual mirrors? Any freedom of thought? Do they actually look beneath the surface of the people and causes they support? I’m just floored constantly by folks I used to agree on lots of stuff with. They’ve all completely gone mad.
Oooh...repetition and retelling of myths. That's a subject I've been itching to write about since the beginning of the pandemic. Anyone who's had to either watch or participate in behavioral therapy for behavioral modification knew exactly what started happening two and a half years ago. Repeat it with me, everyone: Stay home, stay safe! Why do politicians do it? Why did the perpetrators of the biggest scam in history do it? Because repetition is how messages stick. Period. Basic fact, whether you're God or Hitler.
Also, GOB BLUTH. You win for bringing in the best magician ever. But at least even he admitted, "I made a terrible mistake" every now and then.
Here's some repetition for you: "Follow the science." "Safe and effective." "Flatten the curve." "Masks work." "Get vaccinated." not only repetitious, but rhythmical. But there's nothing fascist, or untrue at ALL about any of those...
gente bien pagada que no produce nada ni construye nada util para los demas trabajando en la vieja estrategia de dividir a los demas en buenos y malos. Eso es la politica hoy.
The FBI has never been about "hold[ing] power accountable." That's a bizarre, bizarre assertion by Orr. They're basically federal cops.
Part of me ignores people like her when they talk. Another part of me wonders how much of their "work" is financed by my tax dollars and my future grandkids' tax dollars.
Side note: It would be cool if the Republicans could come up with someone other than Trump, so the Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers could truly be shouting into the abyss. I'm not saying they're brilliant, but how about Greg Abbott or Tim Scott stepping up to the plate? The Right's fixation on Trump is second only to the Left's in terms of sinking this country further into utter BS.
Can add the clips of all the school teachers in 2009 leading the elementary children in songs that praised the new black President as a Dear Leader. That wasn’t Orwellian at all.
Obviously, like seemingly every program spearheaded by so-called liberals these days, it’s illiberal and anti-democratic speech control. It’s more of the same dishonest, gobbledygook newspeak in the same recyclable, disintegrating paper straw. There are several salient questions about this phenomenon. Who listens to people like this highly credentialed NWO shill? And why is it that suddenly, simultaneously in the USA and Europe/UK , do we have all these phony “disinformation” “think tanks” trying to suppress speech and calling normal people names when they say something objectionable to the real fascists running the show? These paid propagandists (Who actually pays the freight for this crap?) and spin artists are there to suppress, threaten and stigmatize the opposition. And I think increasingly they are speaking to a shrinking echo chamber of quasi-religious fanatics who worship at the papier mache altar of woke authoritarianism. They know that Trump is the real anti-fascist. They know that everything they say is antonymic to truth. And they also know that we know. The last question, and the only one that really matters, is what are we going to do about it?
Thanks for this. One request though- since you are aware - please link to safer alternatives than YT. Tracking is extremely sophisticated and we don’t need that. Use alternative sites to source videos please. Think about what we click. Thank you.
I agree with pretty much everything you're saying, Chris.
But it seems to me this is falling into the old trap of "Vote In Someone to Fix Everything."
Yes, Trump did some good things as POTUS, like trying to bring industry back to the US (We are a nation of consumers who produce very little actual anything! And of course, that was deliberately brought about, over time), but I really can't see Trump as the answer, and I CERTAINLY don't see VOTING for another fake messiah as the answer to our problems. Why? Because our problems are not about choosing the better figurehead of two parties. There is SO MUCH WRONG with our system, from the very top of it to the very bottom of it, it's difficult to start naming every reason and every issue... Our entire SYSTEM is utterly fucked up. We can continue the game of voting for a new face in the White House as long as we're alive to do so, and it won't matter, because the problems are not coming from the political leadership, they're coming from a source OUTSIDE our country, OUTSIDE the political, OUTSIDE the Military Industrial Complex. Our problems are coming from a small group of Globalist, Psychopathic Oligarchs who run the entire world, and have done for, well, for all intents and purposes, they have done forever.
This nightmare we're in WILL NEVER END until WE GET FULLY AWAKE and END IT OURSELVES. This is our big chance... If we waste it by rolling over in our comfy bed of illusion and go back to sleep thinking Santa will come, we're just prolonging our own state of fuckedness.
Idiots like Orr are a testament to just far IQs have fallen over the past 4 decades. My dog has stronger critical thinking skills.
I'm glad you do the heavy lifting of reporting on this idiocy from the Left. I couldn't do it. This much exposure to sheer lunacy would eventually destroy my mind.
God bless you.
Holy shit.

the man currently holds no office but all they do is talk about him 24/7. you can only dream of such free publicity
She is a midwit.

Take “NAZI”, “Fascist”, and “extremist” out of their political lexicon and the Left become absolutely mute.
(Not a bad outcome for NAZIs, Fascists, and extremists such as themselves.)
