It’s hard not to conclude that the UK has, by now, gone full Orwellian. I was walking through the city center here in Edinburgh this afternoon and was confronted by an advertisement for the exhibition below. Notice that the exhibition is free, unlike many recent feature exhibitions in the museum. There seems an incredible effort underway to keep the vaccine narrative going here, and sadly the population feels so lost that they’ll simply buy into it. I was stunned to see this and, quite honestly, there feels something truly disheartening about it…and perhaps that’s one of the points of the exhibition.

Machaire, I believe that such a myth must be permanently maintained in the collective mind - otherwise it might crumble… Here in Portugal the Admiral that was in charge of the “vxx” campaign “management” has been turned by the media, commentators, polls, politicians etc, into the most likely winner of the presidential election in 2026 - can you believe that?! Bare in mind that he is a conniving, dangerous person, with a terrible track record…

I know I shouldn’t be surprised by such things, yet I’m always taken aback. I’m not sure what shocks me more, the brazenness of those who would push such exhibitions, or as you’re experiencing in Portugal, politicians, or the insanity of populations which just follow along with it all, buying into whatever is put in front of them, their own innate sense of cognitive dissonance seemingly completely numb. At this point I sincerely find this frightening.

I also find it frightening, Machaire… Over here its as if the “Marxist virus” has eaten all that was left of peoples’s brains. The media “far right narrative” is disgusting. If you even dare question the immigration problem you are immediately labeled a “far right extremist”. This weekend was nothing short than extraordinary. First, there was manifestation - surprise - against the police, following a perfectly legal and banal police raid in an area ridden with illegal immigrants and drug trafficking. The following day in the middle of the day, two gang of immigrants in that exact area - an area full of turists - started a fight between themselves, with knifes, clubs and metal pipes. Then the police was asked to intervene. That very same day, the left came to the fore saying that once again the police was at the root of the problem and also that the fight was between two right-wing Pakistani gangs. I don’t know what to tell you - people just believe all this…

… We really need to move away from and stop thinking along with the “media” as such and we should be taking the time to gather the tools needed to teach (Autodidacticism) and think for ourselves.
… and since since you brought up “belief” it might be helpful to see C.S. Peirce’s The Fixation of Belief originally in Popular Science Monthly 12, November 1877, pp. 1-15. (link below)
