How to Follow the Narrative

It's getting easier to see which way the narrative winds are blowing.

The current Narrative is that you Have. To. Wear. A. Mask.

That's it.  It doesn't matter that there's no evidence for their effectiveness.  Nor does it matter that generations of people, dealing with the Seasonal Flu haven't used one before.  Science doesn't matter.  Math doesn't matter.  Nothing matters.

Mask Good.  No Mask Bad.

The amazing part of all of this is that some of us remember things like this:

That is from when Orange Man was talking about blocking travel to and from China.  Of course the story has changed over the months.  You're not expected to be able to remember way back in The Before Times, like 5 months ago.

"In late February and early March as the COVID-19 outbreak began accelerating in the US, hospitals and health facilities experienced severe shortages of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers. In response, experts like Fauci and the US Surgeon General Jerome Adams advised Americans against wearing masks. "


This was late February, when Orange was actively talking about the Chinese flu and saying it was dangerous.  Here's the Surgeon General:

Now, with COVID deaths much lower than they were in March, even talking or tweeting about NOT wearing a mask gets you banned from Big Tech Social Media:

"Conservative pundit Bill Mitchell has been kicked off Twitter, saying his opposition to face masks first earned him a suspension, which became permanent after he unwittingly violated the rules by tweeting from a second account. Mitchell announced his ban in a post on Parler on Friday, laying his Twitter handle to rest after accumulating more than 600,000 followers. Earning regular retweets from President Donald Trump, the account was a source of controversy, at times backing ‘QAnon’ conspiracy theories and voicing skepticism toward Covid-19, among other things."


The people who rule over us now want everyone to wear a mask.  Without getting too deep in the weeds, the reasons are the same as they always have been.  They want to win everything politically - there's an election coming up, and they want to control your behavior.  It sounds like hyperbole, but they want to be God.  

The way to identify those who don't accept cloddish, ignorant, arrogant, and clownish government bureaucrats as Gods is .... to see who won't slavishly wear a mask.  Even outside, in August, alone, only a heretic won't wear a mask.  That's how this game is being played, and that's the narrative.  For now.

The Strategy of Like Minded People

It's an easy trap within which to fall.

Too often, regular people are goaded into complaining, despairing, and worrying about the things going on in American society. The collapse of our institutions, the erosion of our freedoms, the idiotic fealty to the SJW ethos, and the Mindless Herd willing to follow (wearing a mask of course) the orders of an incompetent elite are enough to make you miserable. 

In the past I've fallen into the trap. It's part of their strategy. 

It shouldn't be part of your strategy. 

Groups of like minded people, willing to push back, are the thing that they don't want. Orgs like the Tenth Amendment Center, InPower, the Mises Institute, We Are Change, and Unauthorized.TV were all started by regular people. The Patreon lawsuit I mentioned in a previous video is being undertaken by nameless citizens, all tired of being pushed around. It's an old lesson. Don't be a pushover. Be a hard target unwilling to go down without a fight. 

You've been taught in schule that pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and rugged individualism are tired, anachronistic fake concepts from a bygone era. The reason you've been taught this is so that you won't take those concepts and allow them to become part of your mindset. There's a method to their madness. I'm not sure there's a method to yours. Despair is the virus. Like minded people are the cure.

Progressive SJW Patreon Takes a Loss

You've never read a title like the one above.  When has the Progressive / Democrat / Liberal / SJW (I'll let you pick the label) cabal ever taken a loss in your lifetime?  Take all the time you need...

Patreon just took a huge legal death blow.  Because their faction of society has never lost, they are doubling and tripling down. How could they possibly lose?  They have all the right opinions, they and theirs virtue signal all the right tropes, and they're Big Tech!  This has been the attitude of not just Patreon, but of the Social Justice Warrior infected and crazed Silicon Valley.

From Vox Day's blog:

"Lawyer and YouTuber Viva Frei acquired a complete copy of the original backer arbitration claims - courtesy of the Norton Law Firm - and analyzes them as well as the judge's final ruling on the preliminary injunction:"


From the video:

"And there you have it, a thorough update and breakdown of the Patreon lawsuit and a further illustration of the fact that when you've stepped in poop, sometimes the best thing to do is stop walking around and tracking it everywhere. Patreon definitely stepped in poop, and by the way of their highly-questionable amendment after the fact to try to undo their own mistake, I think they have just tracked poo-poo all over their house, in their bedroom, in their bed, on their pillowcase... the poop is everywhere!"

Viva Frei has spoken about these constitutional arguments against Silicon Valley censorship in the past. He explains how Patreon is being hit with tortious interference. The lawsuit is showing you the angle to use: their own terms of service.

I think this is a game changer.

The Urban Farmer Makes Money Growing Green$

Curtis Stone lives up in Canada. He started with nothing. He had no land, no money, and became a wealthy farmer ... all while living in a city in British Columbia. His 1/4 acre now makes $100K a year. After years of learning how to grow things that are tasty, healthy, and desireable, he now teaches others how to do the same thing.

He's now a wealthy man. I highly recommend his youtube channel.

I like to use people who have done things as examples and become wealthy. I'm tired of people who just talk, aren't you? Stone has now made a nice career helping people make money by growing things.

Here he shows you how one of his students makes over $1000 per week. There's another video on his channel where people make $10K a month doing the same thing in their basement. It's legal, healthy, and there is a demand for healthy food.

Please answer the following after watching the video:
  1. How did the young man learn how to grow the microgreens?
  2. In what way did he grow his business?
  3. What would you need to do to start this style or a similar type of business?

Rules for Thee, Not for Me

First off, the NFL decides to murder itself. I have no idea why:

As usual, the Covids, combined with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), has shown all of us that the rules for the little people will be severe, while the rules for the Elite will be ... nonexistent.  The NFL's decision to limit church service size is a unique one.  Why church?  The rank hypocrisy is the same it's been all along: the rules not only don't apply to the elite, as I'll show later, but the also don't apply if you're 'protesting racism'.  

At some point, Big Sportsball will realize that it's doing a Patreon, but by then it will be too late.  It takes a special brand of ignorance to put forth a rule like this, especially after they showed us that crowded church services aren't really a big deal:

Look at the gathering in church at John Lewis' funeral.  The crowd is pretty substantial.  Some people weren't wearing masks.  God forbid if an NFL player were in that crowd - it would be terrible.  Although, it probably wouldn't be a problem.  I doubt there'd be any repercussions as this was an 'approved' event.

As I write this, in NYC, you can't have a funeral unless all social distancing rules are followed, and the funeral can ONLY have immediate family.  A good friend of mine wanted to have a service and burial for his mother in the DR, but couldn't.  Corona, didn't you know?  A 15 yr old student is still wondering why her older brother didn't have a proper send off.  The Corona crushed that plan.

But the Elite burying one of their own?  In a crowded church?  That's fine.

The masses will never see this for what it is.  What I tell my high school students is that the only fix is to surround themselves with those who see this obvious and disgusting level of hypocrisy clearly.

Don't waste your time with people who create gigantic bowls of word salad defending The Elites.  They're too far gone.  You can't save them.  Don't waste your time trying.

Patreon v. Owen Benjamin: The Winds Change Direction

Big Tech and Silicon Valley have been pushing everyone around for years.

If you go against the Woke Mob, you'll be silenced, and, if you're a practitioner of wrong think, they will get you fired from your job.  Social Justice Warriors have no qualms about ruining reputations, deplatforming people, getting people fired, or taking resources away from people they don't like.

Who don't they like?  Anyone who has opinions that differ from theirs.  It used to be conservatives or libertarians who they targeted, but now it's anyone who dares not bend the knee before the stultifying and stupid brand of Woke Social Justice that passes for Progressive thought today.

The list of people who have been de-platformed, ruined, slandered, and destroyed is a long one.  The latest example is saying that the latest round of "protests" were violent.  If you're at all critical of BLM, then you're a target for the mob.  The blue check twitterati are worst, but the Campus, Hollywood, Woke Capital, and Silicon Valley (the worst offender) are all in on destroying anyone with reality based ideas.

Michael Malice calls it the 'Cathedral'.  Dave Rubin has 'left the left'.  Vox Day saw it before anyone else and has been telling people to 'build your own platforms' for years.

What I never understood over the years was why no one ever fought back.  The accused would take a beating, apologize for their heresy, and then, the apology seen by the Woke Mob as an admission of guilt, get completely 'disappeared'.  The baffling part was that some of these people were strong people of substance, and they were afraid to give SJW's the middle finger.

I think those days are over. People are now fighting back.

In the sports world, Clay Travis and Jason Whitlock have openly mocked the Masked Mafia supporting Corona-Chan, and broken away completely from ESPN, FOX, and big corporate.  They have built their own platform, are taking no prisoners, and getting rich.

Owen Benjamin, the Big Bear, is fighting the Beast directly.  Benjamin was kicked off of Patreon this past Fall.  Turns out, he has sued Patreon for tortious interference, and his followers have requested arbitration, as is their right following Patreon's terms of service.

This could bankrupt Patreon, and it is a glorious moment.  Messing with someone's livelihood because they aren't Woke enough may be coming to an end.  A judge has told Patreon that it MUST pay the arbitration fees, as stated in its original terms of service, and following California law.  The dollars that Patreon will have to pay will get really big really quickly.

I discuss the case here:



Others have now followed suit.  Lauren Southern looks like she'll do the same thing:

Tim Pool tells his half million followers that it's possible the end is near for Patreon:
Nick Rekieta runs a fantastic site on Youtube, Rekieta Law.  He's done the best work explaining what is happening to Patreon, and he's an expert attorney who's able to break down the issues for the layman.  The first blow in the Owen Benjamin v. Patreon video is fantastic:



Patreon, as I explained, thought it could get away with ignoring or rewriting the law because it's Patreon, one of the Woke Crowd, blessed by GoodThink.  Patreon got its ass handed to it 2 days ago. Nick Rekieta provides a post-mortem here:



I see this case as a change in the zeitgeist.  All you have to do is fight back.  You won't always win, but you will, at minimum, make yourself a hard target.
