Over the past few months, I’ve had many conversations that go something like this:
Other Person: “I’m going to get vacksinated”
Me: “Aren’t you worried about the side effects?”
Other Person: “What side effects?”
Then we talk a bit and I tell them about the eleven-plus thousand Americans (and counting) that have been killed by the vackseens. And I tell them about the hundreds of thousands of reports of serious side effects, in the U.S. alone. Lately, I’ve also been telling them that the vackseens don’t appear to be particularly effective in staving off the new variants.
It’s all news to them.
Then, after learning that they might not have the facts, they go get vacksinated anyway. Why? Because everywhere they’ve looked since the vacksination programs began they’ve been told, “The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective”.
Here’s another conversation I tend to have a lot:
Me: “Have you heard about all the crazy stuff happening in Arizona, Georgia and other states with their audits of the 2020 election results?”
Other Person: “What are you talking about?”
Then I tell them about the ever-growing mountain of evidence that the Democrats cheated. I’ll mention the video showing boxes of ballots being pulled from beneath a table and scanned after the vote counters had chased the observers away.
And I tell them about the tremendous effort being spent by election officials desperately trying to make sure that the investigations get stonewalled. I tell them about how multiple government agencies are refusing to comply with subpoenas demanding election records, and about the multiple lawsuits filed to keep the results from being questioned.
It’s all news to them.
Then, after learning that they might not have all the facts, they typically tell me that Trump lost and there is no real evidence of election fraud. Why do they believe that? Because since election night, everywhere they look they’re told there are only, “baseless claims of election fraud”.
These are just two examples where non-stop exposure to the same message over and over again has programmed people to believe things that simply aren’t true. “Racist cops hunting unarmed black men”, “Violent Insurrection”, “Russian Collusion” (Donald, not Hillary) are a few more.
Then, there’s the flip side of that. Instead of constant repetition of untrue “facts”, Big Media also hides information. They hide it by merely not talking about it. A good example of that is the Hunter Biden extortion/bribery/sex/laptop scandal, and the possibility that Joe Biden is involved. Other examples are “Russian Collusion” (Hillary, not Donald) and Biden’s failed let-infected-illegal-aliens-in border policy.
Most people know what they know because that’s what Big Media tells them. And they don’t know what they don’t know because they don’t know Big Media isn’t telling them everything. But just because you see no evil and hear no evil, it doesn’t mean that there is no evil. It only means you’re unaware of it.
The issue here isn’t whether or not people believe the vackseens are safe. Nor is it whether or not they believe the 2020 elections weren’t corrupt. The issue isn’t even that they’re not aware of anything to the contrary.
The real problem is that when they do find out that critical information is being purposely withheld from them, their reaction is typically, “Meh.”
If you found out that the reason you didn’t know what you hadn’t known was because someone was trying to make sure you never knew it, wouldn’t that piss you off?
I remember when I first figured that out. Man, I was pissed. And I immediately started rethinking everything I thought.
Now, I don’t expect anyone to take what I say at face value. But what I do expect is that, once someone is aware that they’re not getting the whole story, they should at least question the story they are being told.
But that’s not how it usually works out. What usually happens with the people I talk to is that they continue to believe “the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective”, and that there are only “baseless claims of election fraud”. They continue to believe those things even when they know that they don’t have all the facts.
Like I said, the issue isn’t that they don’t know, and it’s not that they don’t know what they don’t know.
The real problem is that when they finally do know, when they finally become aware that evil does exist, they don’t seem to care.
Did you know I publish a new article several times a week? I’ve started getting noticed by social media. Which, as you know, for a Conservative is never a good thing. I highly recommend you sign up for my free newsletter. That way you won’t miss anything the next time social media censors what I write.
