“We are being lied to. It is so bad that I’ve unplugged myself from all the noise so as to protect my somewhat fragile sanity. The nonstop lying comes from three different sources all impacting our lives, supposedly, that is; from Ukraine, the c-virus pandemic, and the collapse of our ecological environment. I’d say the environmental collapse is still at the top of the list because it is now irreversible—there’s no way to stop it and it will become overwhelming in a short amount of time. I see no good news from any source these days. So I have pulled back from my daily efforts to stay abreast of world events and indulged myself in watching many movies from multiple streaming sources. Hedonistic? Sure, but my sanity is still intact.”

War-Earth
There is a war in Ukraine. Russia has seen the buildup of neo-Nazi forces supplied by Empire(US, EU, Zionist, and allies) and is using kid gloves to root out the disease from its border. This won’t be discussed in any corporate(MSM) media source. I can’t even watch any war coverage because truth, actual factual information, is non existent in western MSM sources because they have to support their masters of Empire. Or face losing their cushy jobs with benefits and livable salaries. It’s always about capital in the end. The war machine of Empire always profits from any involvement of warring factions they support from around the world. Until this ends there is no hope to save humankind from inevitable collapse, and, most likely, extinction.
We were all born into this and regardless of what we do to try to live away from industrial civilization—off the grid, so to speak—we simply can’t do it. I choose now to watch movies and try to forget about war. War has been here throughout my entire 68 year life and it grinds me down thinking about the effects that eventually destroys Earth with ever more ravenous results as the years roll up. I’m simply sick of it. And I don’t care where it is or who’s engaged, it grinds down my very being.
I highly doubt that humans living in a civilization can avoid war. At least so far they haven’t been successful at it. The present industrial civilization may very well be the last one on planet Earth.
Environment
On a slightly different note—having to do with environmental collapse—there is never a case made in MSM lore to reduce severe human overpopulation, the root cause of all of our ills. It’s all about the falling birth rates. Good! Too little, too late. Earth can sustainably support a little over a billion people comfortably. Perhaps a few more. We are now hovering at 7.93 billion people world wide. Since I’ve started keeping track back in early ‘18 it’s increased by about 210 million people. That’s almost 2/3rd’s the population of the USA. In a little over 3 years! I’m am childless by a choice made back in ‘73 when I was 19 and saw Earth as severely populated even back then. The population has more than doubled since then. ‘Nuff said on that.
COVID-19, (C-Virus in my writings)
Lies abound in the c-virus pandemic just as much as the absence of the neo-Nazi menace in Ukraine is, in the MSM, that is. Writing about the corruption in the healthcare industrial complex got me cancelled from my former publisher, Medium. Hopefully Substack won’t suffer the same fate as Medium. Absence of pertinent information is akin to lying.
Here’s a case of the absence of vital information that could save lies perpetrated by Big pharma to keep the experimental *vaccines* to keep the profit motors chugging along. It’s now up the the 4th!! jab. US governmental support is waning to pump capital from US taxpayers into the vampiric arms of Big pharma. After all they have a proxy war to fight in Ukraine. And don’t forget about the war crimes the US is continuing to support in Yemen. It could be considered genocide. I’ve seen nothing in the MSM about Yemen for years. Cynical? You betcha. I lost track, sorry.
There are cheap effective drugs to fight the c-virus and its many mutations. They don’t make money for Big pharma because they are generic. Ever wonder why there are so few c-virus deaths in Africa? Hmmm?…Oh yeah, they still have ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine available without a prescription in many of Africa’s nations.
We don’t even have access to these lifesaving drugs because Big pharma is using their iron boot to threaten doctors and pharmacies with loss of licensure. We die as a direct result. And folks thought the only war was in Ukraine. I openly call it totalitarianism. I’ve written on this many times in the past. Most were lost to Medium. I don’t have the time or motivation to go back and republish all my many essays from Medium.
Here’s a link to just one of many suppressed items supporting ivermectin for fighting the c-virus. https://thecovidblog.com/ivermectin/
The MSM is mum on the subject. The Defender also has many items on the c-virus and the sight is reviled as the “anti-vaxxer” menace. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/
My Diversions from the Noise
I see it’s time for lunch and a movie. Tubi is an excellent source for all kinds of free movies with few advertisements to support the site. I frankly don’t see how it stays afloat. The foreign films, uncensored by the way, are especially good. I despise censorship. Many grindhouse films I remember from the 70’s have been censored never to be seen again in their natural, uncut state. My guilty pleasure as such. I’m waiting for a Blu-ray player that is unlocked to play DVDs and Blu-rays from non US sources. It should be shipped in a few days or so.
Enough about the 24/7 lies. I can’t control any of the bullshit going on in the world. It can overwhelm my if I let it. Neither can my gentle readers control the screaming menace from Empire and its MSM propaganda dispensers. We still have switches, or even vocal commands now, to stop the noise. For now I’ll divert myself with movies, TV shows, a good read, music, and a few words every now and then. Take care of your own affairs. The world will still function until it doesn’t. I hope to be gone by then. Be kind and stay safe. Peace, The Ol’ Hippy
