With all of the temptations and propaganda we face daily it can be very easy to have our minds and our hearts diverted from what our soul wants and needs. I reread this article this morning and was so inspired. For me it was like a superfood for my soul. I have followed you for a long time now Tessa and though I may not always respond, your willingness to share your beautiful heart and mind mean the world to me and have changed my life in a very positive way.

As the war mongering 1940s president FDR said, "we have nothing to fear but fear itself. " As a puppet of the military-industrial complex, a tool itself of the world control "elites" cabal, demorat FDR well understood the power of fear. With several generations of brain washed, fearful steeple since then, it is questionable whether the victims have enough strength and free will to throw off the shackles of slavery. This revolt, however, is the last, best hope of rescuing our grand republic and humanity itself. NOW is the time to resist, even revolt. Do not sit on your butts waiting for a rescuer. WE are the first, last and only line of defense. What are we afraid of?

Oh, I have a funny story about that. There is a independent film center here in New York. At the height of COVID, in place of movie names on the board, that had that quote: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." And then they introduced vaccine mandates, perhaps under pressure but none the less. I was a little disappointed.

I think that little trick was aimed at the vaccine hesitant people. I can't imagine it worked as well as state officials peddling free french fries for the poison injections. Every tactic was used to get the numbers up. But, fear works the best, unfortunately. The sheeple believe that living in a state of fear is the natural course. Mercy on their souls.

I am traveling today so don’t have much time but wanted to dump this out there. Don’t read this post if you can’t deal with FEAR.

Disease X is coming. Fear

An economic crash is coming. Fear

Deagal says population crash. Fear Everything is broken. Fear

Children do not have a future. Fear

Mass shootings endanger you. Fear

Male military age illegal immigrants are going to invade. Fear

Texas will defy USG bringing on civil war. Fear

Nanotechnology is everywhere. Fear

Pervasive EMF is going to make us sick, kill us, or turn us into robots. Fear

What you thought you knew was a lie. Fear

The government is out to kill you. Fear

China seeks to conquer the world. Fear

CBDC will enslave you. Fear

Russia plans to invade Europe. Fear

Muslims seek to impose their religion on the world. Fear

Others I’m sure I’m forgetting. But you have to FEAR.

Although some of these issues may be (probably are) legitimate and cause for concern and vigilance, they all evoke fear which is psychologically and physically disabling. Fear and those who wield it without offering disclaimers, alternatives, or solutions should rightly be viewed with suspicion. Recognizing fear frees your mind to rationally analyze each situation for risk, and prioritize attention and action on those issues that you can address given your unique situation and skillset. Also know that others are working solutions outside of your expertise. Recognizing fear puts you in a clear mindset, a much more effective human, and a force to be accommodated by the machine. Because you don’t fear.

Thank you, Mike, are you describing how various - eh... notions/opinions/talking points.... are being played on us? As in divide and conquer?

But then, the truth IS scary, at times. Both the empty twaddle of propaganda, and the facts drowned in the propaganda.

I spent a few dark and fearful days in the aftermath of the Lahaina arson. Yes, fear is the thing to fear most; but it makes no sense to deny its occurrence. If such horrors can be fabricated to grill useless house-owners, the perpetrators will stop at nothing. Let alone that we can stop them. Have they no shame?

And are they really robots? I'd say they behave as if we are, but we aren't!

I don't care what they are. or why. Cruelty is a crime. That's the long and the short of it.

Anger is probably just as caustic, but I find it an effective motivator. The issues you mention are the Great Crimes that will bring about the Great Change. We can be victims or survivors... our choice. No Fear!

Anger is great, as long as you pick your moment. I don't care if it's caustic, and besides, you already know that. Thank you for reminding me of my motivators

Sometimes being infuriated by all the cruelty (as recorded on the CHD-tv bus, for instance ), is oddly motivational... not really 'oddly', though. Whatever the offoicals are doing, it helps to remind myself of the cruelty, the horror, the joy they take away from us. https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/the-chd-bus-tour/1-pfizer-covid-shot/

PS, the low information NPR crowd are trying to gin up Biden-Catholic vs. Evangelical Protestant Texas, divide and conquer now in an Epic Fail. Biden has self excommunicated himself by advocating killing babies, and pro life Abbott is Catholic. 🤣🤣🤣🧐

There are only two teams, always has been. God is the God of Life, not death. So Cult of Death vs. God of Life.

Watch these cartoons created by Angel Studios. This first one is called The Law. https://link.angel.com/QB4uNgm9GGb This is what our kids and we need learning on. It appears the The book version: The Tuttle Twins and The Leviathan Crisis(based on this book: Crisis and Leviathan by Robert Higgs)

I look forward to getting my hands on a copy. I am mystified why people I know to be intelligent, educated, well-travelled, and reasonably politically sophisticated have been suckered first by COVID and then by all these other ridiculous movements.

Ahem. I want to hear your specific criticism of his arguments. This is a really important subject.

I reassure you, you don't need to read a book to understand it. You can look on the inside. I wrote a piece about it in 2020, you may find it helpful, it looks at the emotional trajectory. https://tessa.substack.com/p/proud-intellectual

You can also look at it as a magical trick, which is what it actually is. https://tessa.substack.com/p/the-bad-witch-and-weaponized-pain

And if you find anything helpful in his book, wonderful. :)

Please read or interview Michael Nehls who recently published "The Indoctrinated Brain". Twenty percent of the population are immune to the fear/propaganda crap. We only have to get 20% more to listen and the majority will switch.

I looked at it. I was not greatly impressed but I am fine with other people liking him :)

If his hypothesis about the hippocampus is correct, it goes a long way to explaining how intelligent people can ignore their own experience and believe in fiction instead of lived reality. Their files are being rewritten by agitprop repeated ad nauseum.

I may write a detailed post about it but in brief, here's how I feel about this. We can 'scientifically explain" things ad naseam (thank you for using my favorite expression! :) but it is more or less like walking in circles and celebrating our smarts, as opposed to getting humble and doing our part in solving the problem. The solution is not new, it's not glamorous, and it is of spiritual nature, the way I feel about it. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know from his information, and if I were to get excited about his work, it would actually be a disservice to my own experience. What specific biochemistry in the brain happens, I trust that he understands better than I do, it is not my field. But what difference does it make in practical terms? There are bad guys doing all sorts of magic on people. In order to stand against it, one needs to have spiritual clarity, to be humble, and to have the love. Maybe having all those these would also do a biochemical thing in the brain. But it's not where the answers lie. And I am pretty sure that no psychological trick is good enough medicine against what they are doing. How many people are able to resist many psyops at once? Not too many! So all this is peachy but the answers lie in the ordinary and completely unbranded spiritual labor that we all do. It doesn't help sell books but it works better than branded stuff. With that, while I find this whole thing useless to me personally, I am happy if any book helps another human being with any genuine insights!

Well... A 'spirited' response! We all had a rough time with our friends who were drunk on the 'kool ade' and joined the bad guys. Maybe, for me, I have an excuse to let them off the hook if I think they were reprogrammed by having their real-life experience erased from their brains. Honestly, I shake my head at the phenomenon of people unable to see objective reality right in front of their face! It's mind-boggling. It's happening somehow, and we need to deal with it. Unbranded spiritual labor is a great way to make sense of this; how easy it has been to brainwash bright, well-meaning, intelligent people.

he was on the highwire - the big takeaway was that cytokine storm shuts down production of nerve cells in the hippocampus.

Jan 27, 1973 - The Supreme Court hands down the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, federally and preposterously recognizing a “right” to abortion. Roe marked the beginning of decades of mass murder in America, with 63.5 million babies aborted between 1973 and January 2022. In June 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe, as the latter was an anti-constitutional decision.

If you want to know my honest opinion, I think that the issue is marketed to no end by both sides of the debate. I grew up in a different country, and abortions weren't a political issue. In the US, it is used like red cloth for a bull to get candidate donations, support, etc. Nobody upstairs cares about the people though. If anybody did, they would invest in an intelligent support system for women considering abortion (which would greatly decrease the number of abortions), and stop yelling (which does not decrease anything, only makes people defensive). But yelling is the one that gets them electoral support! Oh and I do think that "my body my choice" applies across the board. All three things are true simultaneously:

1) Abortions are generally tragic (there could be medical exceptions, rape. etc. but most are just tragic)

2). Selling abortions as "reproductive rights" has been a very cynical and an impressively successful political campaign

3) It is none the less none of my business what other women choose to do with their bodies. It is their choice, physically and spiritually.

If only the fervor put into shaming women were put into countering war-mongering politicians....
