Cancel this, cancel that

Don't discuss

– or question that

Be afraid

Don't offend

Paper-mache

Let's pretend

Lipstick pretty

Putty good

Bubble gum

Together stood

The most magnificent looking chair

Golden splender

With leather flair

Springs and metal

Twisted knots

It all appears

A million bucks

But when you go to sit on it

It falls apart into little bits

And you get shards and daggers in your arse

Welted faces

Shattered glass

Lying there you feel so wronged

The mirage vanished

Siren songs

Led astray

Shattered rocks

What was wrong

With what was got

Wooden chairs

And tarnished chips

Shut away

Thrown in pits

Cast aside

No light of day

Cancelled to make

The new one stay.

And now we have a whole world sitting on golden chairs, falling to bits each day and every day.

Because we cancelled all the sturdy ones

And sold them lipstick and bubble gum

Dressed in gold

Wrapped in leather

Feeling oh so very clever

...But not anymore.

Not allowed to use your brain !!!

°If Regina Dugan , from Darpa & Wellcome trust , would have her way : 80% of the kids would be conform to the AI generated Ideal brain model within the first 1000 days of life. They really want to perpetuate the hierarchy. . . If the RED coats cant subdue you, the British White Coat will. . . . To me that's what W.H.O. represent. Glad your having fun posting. I checked your youT page an hour ago it's so Throttle almost memory holed ...sigh

“The one whose tummy is full doesn’t ‘get’ the hungry one.”

That statement reminds of a joke my nephew told me. Some people may find it offensive. But... this is Substack! So, here goes:

Food is like dark humour. Not everybody gets it.

If you're offended... you're welcome! :^)

Censoring speach is absurd. Censoring people is criminal.

“The one whose tummy is full doesn’t ‘get’ the hungry one.”

Great saying! I'm stealing it.

No matter what anyone says the answer isn't, "...so stop eating!".

Another really great essay Tessa.. I chuckled as I realized that I had been stuck in the "oh crap still more of that" phase of my journey for quite a long time. Now I have come to realize that genuine heartfelt love is the source of authentic world changing power. We just need to be patient and focus on doing the right thing, always. You have been a great help in moving me forward.

Good points, all. The ruthless psychopaths who handle the levers of power on Earth are simply unaware that they have a real Heart, have no idea what real love really is, and live as Hungry Ghosts with an insatiable appetite for power, wealth, and notoriety in a vain effort to satisfy the appetite for love that their own heart perpetually aches for.

If they were aware of their own heart they would not do what they do or say what they say! If ALL of us were truly aware of our whole heart, everyone would CARE - as our inherent Design specifies. We each have one, but no matter how skillfully we mouth the words and act out our parts, there is more love to know. to share. to BE!! The plan of the times is this awakening.

Thank you for your voice, Tessa. And for advocating for love.

Also, so much THIS: "And the shock I experienced over not being shadow-banned on Notes made me realize just how absurd and—I am going to use use the emotional word—traumatizing, it had been to be treated like an enemy of the people on the internet for the past few years."

Opinions on their own are not good or bad. Everyone is entitled to theirs, so we can either read or watch or not. Agree to disagree without being disagreeable. Those who wish to censor others do not seem to understand the constitutional right we have of free speech. It can not 'legally' be taken away.

If it is taken from us it is done so by an illegal act. Illegal acts are punishable by law. Those elected officials take an oath to uphold the law and our constitution, when they do not, they are breaking the law. If they break the law by not enforcing it, they have no authority over any of us regarding any matter what so ever. They become null and void, just like a bad contract. They have broken the contract they have with the voters and taxpayers in this country.

"An important side note here: I am convinced that wokism is a successful brain child of the alphabets, and that the poor souls who fall for it had been played. I am also convinced that the attack on natural human ability is by design."

On the money, Tessa. Thanks for your voice. Love and hope...

Hi Tessa, the left's reason for pushing for censorship is a rational one, although I disagree with it. Any unmoderated discussion area will eventually become strongly right-leaning, which Salon admitted in a pretty interesting article (even though they tried to smear the general concept as “fascist”):

https://www.salon.com/2019/08/05/why-unmoderated-online-forums-always-degenerate-into-fascism/

Therefore the left must censor, and censor hard, or they will lose and lose badly.

See which phases of human journey arc don’t have a child in their description? The ones concerned with intentional acting, whatever the time horizon (short or long doesn‘t enter the equation here). Tells a thing or two about being an adult, doncha find? 😊

To zoom out again,

🗨 Humans are the most versatile and useful tools on the planet. They can achieve a lot, and if they can’t achieve something they can build another tool to help them achieve it. Humans are the ultimate tool. Which means if you master controlling humans as your tool, you can achieve anything achievable.

hwfo.substack.com/p/the-human-tool

ETA an extra couple of explanatory notions.

🗨 An article or TV show is a tool, written by a human tool, to control other human tools, who each trace their marching orders back to a master meme, that is playing that game.

🗨 The blue tribe has a ceiling.[...T]heir only option is to undermine the red tribe’s intellectual abstractions. Religion, individual agency, “muh freedoms,” and the core of traditional western thought must be brought down for the blue tribe to win, because they can’t win by force.
