A Parable of the Prophet Muhammad (as Transcribed by Cory Banta)

A girl bought an iPad. When her father saw it, He asked her "What was the 1st thing you did when you bought it?
"I put an anti-scratch sticker on the screen and bought a cover for the iPad" she replied.
"Did someone force you to do so?"
- "No"
"Don't you think it's an insult to the
manufacturer?"
- "No dad! In fact they even recommend using a cover for the iPad"
"Did you cover it because it was cheap & ugly?"
- "Actually, I covered it because I didn't want it to get damaged and decrease in value."
"When you put the cover on, didn't it reduce the iPad's beauty?"
- "I think it looks better and it is worth it for the protection it gives my iPad."
The father looked lovingly at his daughter and said,
"Yet if I had asked you to cover your body which is much more precious than the iPad, would you have readily agreed???"
She was mute.....
~ Indecent dressing and exposure of your body reduces your value and respect.
Always dress decently.

Novatini: Plandemic didn't bother me all that much until some people I know started to get really into it.  They've begun to manifest a faith in Mikovits's opinions that any contradiction only reinforces.  If anyone cites a source that criticizes Mikovits or her opinions, then that source is being controlled by big pharma and the deep state, proving Mikovits's message correct.  This self-fulfilling prophecy is incredibly annoying and renders reasonable discussion impossible.

Jim Bob: She's either right or she's wrong. If she is right, then the criticism of her is pretty much all illegitimate and ultimately sourced in elite conspiracy against her.

     You actually have to keep your head deep in the sand to not recognize what is going on here. The establishment bans her, even bans reporters who interview her, and initiates a propaganda blitz with dozens of articles making the same accusations against her.

     Comes down to whether you have a basic faith in the establishment to tell the truth. I sure don't have any of that faith.

Novatini: My complaint is more that the very same people who view reports from “established” scientific sources with extreme skepticism are perfectly willing to accept anything Mikovits says with no skepticism whatsoever, as if she’s the mouthpiece of God himself.

Alexandrian Prince: This to me is along the same lines as Infowars. Does Alex Jones have a lot of truth and great things to say? Of course, but reality is that his audience (for good or bad) does comprise of many right-wing NPCs who are just as quick to take everything he says at face value as their leftist MSM-watching counterparts. I don't care who or where someone gets their sources or news from; no one is above the Clear and Distinct Rule and I find it concerning when anyone's message is absorbed unquestioningly regardless of affiliation or intention.

     PLANdemic has succeeded in gaining the traction it as largely because of its repeated deplatforming, which has consequentially caused Mikovits' book sales to skyrocket, as it is completely sold out on amazon at the moment. Explicators could bicker all day nitpicking the truths and falsities in the myriad narratives we have heard about the events of the past few months, but at the end of the day, no one has taken any action based on their perception and the only thing that has changed is the increasing amount of money going into the pocketbooks of corporations, politicians, and the grabblers who scour the remains they leave behind.

Jim Bob: Normies a few years ago: IF YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORIES WERE TRUE THEY WOULDN'T LET YOU TALK ABOUT IT

Normies now: THEY ARE BANNING THESE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS FOR THE PUBLIC WELFARE, WE CAN'T HAVE THIS DANGEROUS MISINFORMATION!

     What we really have here is just another effort for normies to justify cognitive dissonance. You listened to Mikovits and believed her? What?! You didn't agree with the mainstream propaganda blitz against her?! Well obviously then you are just blindly having faith in her. There can be no other explanation, since I have blind faith in the establishment narrative set against her.

Novatini: I’m not claiming to have faith in the establishment or its narratives. I think that corporate funding for scientific research has led to a lot of corruption. I think that the COVID response has been dreadful. In my mind, people like Fauci and organizations like the NIH and WHO are quite open to criticism, but the fact that Mikovits also criticizes them (at a moment when she stands to profit tremendously from doing so) lends no credibility to her own “research”

Jim Bob: At some point, all of our beliefs do rest in large part on FAITH in what other people are telling us. As human beings with extensive limitations, we are not able to directly research and experiment and experience for ourselves every bit of data we accept as fact. We believe in viruses, most of us having never used a microscope capable of seeing a virus. I could list endless examples. In a sense, all complicated human beliefs in general are a sort of faith based religion which is a composite of thousands of individual beliefs which are mostly taken on faith from trusted sources without personal verification. The conspiracy crowd has always been a heretic cult challenging a mainstream orthodoxy. I happen to find Mikovits to be trustworthy. I look at her history in context with my worldview, and her story is very believable.

An opinion on the Disappearance of The Page (As transcribed by Cory Banta)

     
     "I dont think the topic is related to the group, but I just wanna rant.
Am I the only one bothered by the disappearance of the concept of 'PAGE' on internet and the deliberate inconvenience it brought?
I remember vaguely once on Youtube comment section there was page. So if a video has 2000 comments, one could still put them in temporal order and straightly goto the page in the middle. The youtube comment section now, however, users are forced to either only viewing the latest comments (suppose the user wont waste few days keep scrolling down thousands of comments), or to view the comments picked by the AI algorithms.
 
     Its the same for facebook or any other major social medias. For one to find a older post in a facebook, the only thing they can do is scrolling down for god knows how long, or hope it magically appears by facebook algorithms.
And this design was deliberate. What it causes is a destruction of the concept of 'past' on social media, which what only remains is the 'now', the 'present', the newest in the feed, and the things being pushed by the algorithms lord.
In the old school style BBS and forums, one could simply browse the history of a community by selecting a page and look for the old posts from years ago whenever they want. But for the major social medias, they eliminated the feature together with the history of the each within-communities.
   
     On facebook or most social media now, it became so hard for you to find something that you can only wait for things to be fed to you. It is triumph of information control and training for user dependency."
