We are all of us The Violated. I was a Seer, now a Recorder.
We all of us must now concentrate our rage and indignation upon the Unrepentant and we must unite to create a world not where we merely HOPE this will never happen again, but a world where such an Atrocity CANNOT happen ever again. Such a world will be very different from our fondly remembered, and largely illusory Old Normal and it will also be radically different from the totalitarian New Normal, which our tormentors are even now attempting to impose upon us.
I did not like this substack, I LOVED it. Later today I will reread it, print a copy and read it daily. Bob Moran’s “cartoon” captures all the things we now long for going forward. Thank you a million times for your effort of bringing us the truth, supported by data and science. Yesterday was a reminder the other side isn’t giving up. We must continue our efforts.
Welcome to Substack! I've come here from your support of my essay "Thoughtpolice dot com" at Stranger Worlds - thanks for reading! It is appreciated, and I will definitely keep an eye on what you're up to here. We are allies of a kind, whatever our differences.
Indeed, this Substack is so much alike in spirit to the one I almost began last year, at the time called 'Witness'. My tone would perhaps have been more reconciliatory, but I shared the horror, and the rage. And I still do. In the end, I went a different path: I started Stranger Worlds and How to Live in Them, and decided to write not just for 'the Seers', but also to attempt to reach those who were and are entirely unaware of what happened. This was not an easy choice for me, but I want to briefly share the reason that Witness did not happen.
As all your 'Seers' will be acutely aware, not many of us understood what was going on within the Nonsense. My wife and I really felt alone and isolated... especially since she worked as a nurse in an NHS hospital, and what we witnessed there was terrifying, and brought to mind all too readily the situation in Europe in the 1930s.
However, by accident or design (probably a horrific blend of both), the principle of 'divide and conquer' has been all too effectively applied. The majority of people trust the legacy media to report accurately, and have neither the time or the interest in investigating. It is, in many respects, so much easier to believe the lie that everyone believes than it is to stand out from the crowd - a lesson that both prophets and psychologists have reported, but that somehow is never truly taken onboard. "A prophet is never welcome in their hometown..."
As long as those of us aware of what happened draw up battle lines, we remain easy to exclude from consideration, and our power is diminished. Indeed, the beauty of the weaponisation of the term 'conspiracy theory' is the effortlessness with which unpopular opinion can be excluded. 'Heresy' did the same job half a millennia ago, but even this could not spread with the rapidity of the contemporary world.
To be true to my faith, I have to envision a time to come where truth and reconciliation can bring an end to the brutal divisions stoked by the Nonsense. If I let my rage lead me, I know I will never get to this 'promised land'. Someone - anyone - has to come at this problem with an eye to healing divisions, even if this is distant and far from view.
I say this not to impugn the witness you are making here... believe me, I feel it too. But it is not my calling to fight the battle on one side, but to strive for a peace that is yet to come, and that I may not live to see. Philosophy has been both a curse and a blessing in my life, but I follow the paths that open up to me and trust in where I am being sent. And like Ivan Illich and Raimon Pannikar before me, my philosophy is informed by my faith.
What a fantastic assessment I honor and admire your courage, I agree with you all the way, God Almighty I thank you so much for people like you, there was a time when I felt so lonely, but I know now that I have many friend
Brilliant. I wanted to cross-post to my secondary (Full Broadside) but the option seems disabled.
I was writing my own articulation rhetorically refuting the contention "safe and effective", but production is slow due to the evidence I need to collect to give the rhetoric the necessary force. This was a much easier read. Cheers.
Thank you, so satisfying to read. (Gary Sharpe just recommended.) Well done. I'd only add that the last 3 years is where it got over-the-top egregious and obvious. We were born into a slave-system, really and there's been a long term anti-human agenda behind our world. The very good thing about their insane ambition is now it's hard not to see it.
Great cri de cœur: of course the complicit and their Pétainist collaborators won't read it: they are still locked into their own narratives, including taking comfort from the nonsense promulgated by Imperial College that millions of lives have been 'saved' through the fake jabs.
Hard to see where we go from here, the veils of time are already being drawn over the whole sordid episode, and the villains taking their early retirement packages and hiding away in comfort. The public inquiries will take a decade or more: deliberately, and so will the court cases.
Thank you. A seer and a recorder am I. I see and I record. I wonder if enough people hear. Certainly it seems my wave cannot yet crash hard enough to erode the hard rock of inertia and passivity upon which it crashes. Iatrogenic harm? Unintentional harm? I believe all of the harm is fully intentional.. by the demons who lead, who have taken over so much consciousness of those still unaware of how they have been manipulated and used to become a huge dark force. We seers and recorders must chip away, erode that, pull back souls. What a time we live in! We must not, cannot give in....

Resist. Recreate.
Thanks for honoring all those people. Include me in. I look forward to seeing what comes from your engagement with the world through Substack.

Bravo! ...Delicious vocabulary paints the harsh reality we're in. Very insightful. Thank you.
What a fantastic assessment I honor and admire your courage, I agree with you all the way, God Almighty I thank you so much for people like you, there was a time when I felt so lonely, but I know now that I have many friend
friends like you. Greetings from Australia 🥂
Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you for being a "recorder".

Look forward to reading more from you.
Brilliant. Looking forward to more from you.
Sorry, Joel Smalley had cross posted it---I mistook the author!
so
Truly excellent, Havakuk.!
SUPERB! Thank you for this. Thank you. I needed this today and I will be spreading this Stack FAR AND WIDE. God Bless us one and ALL.

A testimony on behalf of all of us out here.
