Gaslighting

Gaslighting, by Rip McIntosh

Have you ever asked yourself, ‘am I crazy?’ If you have ever asked yourself that, you’re not crazy. You’re most likely being gaslighted.

 Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse aimed at controlling a person by altering reality to the point where the person will doubt their own sanity.The term “gaslighting” comes from a 1930’s play called Gas Light.

The main character in the play literally tries to drive his wife crazy by gradually dimming the gas-powered lights in their home. When she notices the lights dimming, her husband not only denies that the lights are dimming, he convinces her that she is imagining it to the point where she questions her own sanity.

We are living in a perpetual state of gaslighting. The reality that we are being told by the media is at complete odds with what we are seeing with our own two eyes. And when we question the false reality that we are being presented, or we claim that what we see is that actual reality, we are vilified as racist or bigots or just plain crazy. You’re not racist. You’re not crazy. You’re being gaslighted.

New York State has twice as many deaths from Covid-19 than any other state, and New York has accounted for one fifth of all Covid-19 deaths, but we are told that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has handled the pandemic better than any other governor. But if we support policies of Governors whose states had only a fraction of the infections and deaths as New York, we’re called anti-science and want people to die. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.

We see mobs of people looting stores, smashing windows, setting cars on fire and burning down buildings, but we are told that these demonstrations are peaceful protests. And when we call this destruction of our cities, riots, we are called racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.

We see the major problem destroying many inner-cities is crime; murder, gang violence, drug dealing, drive-by shootings, armed robbery, but we are told that it is not crime, but the police that are the problem in the inner-cities. We are told we must defund the police and remove law enforcement from crime-riddled cities to make them safer. But if we advocate for more policing in cities overrun by crime, we are accused of being white supremacists and racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.

The United States of America accepts more immigrants than any other country in the world. The vast majority of the immigrants are “people of color”, and these immigrants are enjoying freedom and economic opportunity not available to them in their country of origin, but we are told that the United States is the most racist and oppressive country on the planet, and if we disagree, we are called racist and xenophobic. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.

Capitalist countries are the most prosperous countries in the world. The standard of living is the highest in capitalist countries. We see more poor people move up the economic ladder to the middle and even the wealthy class through their effort and ability in capitalist countries than any other economic system in the world, but we are told capitalism is an oppressive system designed to keep people down. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.

Communist countries killed over 100 million people in the 20th century. Communist countries strip their citizens of basic human rights, dictate every aspect of their lives, treat their citizens like slaves, and drive their economies into the ground, but we are told that Communism is the fairest, most equitable, freest and most prosperous economic system in the world. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy?No, you’re being gaslighted.

The most egregious example of gaslighting is the concept of “white fragility”. You spend your life trying to be a good person, trying to treat people fairly and with respect. You disavow racism and bigotry in all its forms. You judge people solely on the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. You don’t discriminate based on race or ethnicity. But you are told you are a racist, not because of something you did or said, but solely because of the color of your skin. You know instinctively that charging someone with racism because of their skin color is itself racist. You know that you are not racist, so you defend yourself and your character, but you are told that your defense of yourself is proof of your racism. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.

Gaslighting has become one of the most pervasive and destructive tactics in American politics. It is the exact opposite of what our political system was meant to be. It deals in lies and psychological coercion, and not the truth and intellectual discourse.

If you ever ask yourself if you’re crazy, you are not. Crazy people aren’t sane enough to ask themselves if they’re crazy. So, trust yourself, believe what’s in your heart. Trust our eyes over what we are told. Never listen to the people who tell you that you are crazy, because you are not, you’re being gaslighted.

Trump feeding recalcitrant mayors and governors just enough rope

Timely, well said, accurate truth for today and history.

Pointman's avatarPointman's

When you ignore the fake news coverage and commentary about the peaceful protests in Democrat-controlled places like Portland, Chicago and NY city, and instead look at some of the videos uploaded by ordinary people to Parler, Gab and other uncensored social platforms, the peaceful protests are actually nightly riots with all the extra goodies that riots bring along with them. Civil unrest, the break down of law-and-order, looting, businesses closing down, murder and violence. It’s easy to see why the ordinary people of a city feel scared.

The cry goes out from his supporters, why doesn’t Trump do something?

The short and simplistic answer is there’s very little he can do legally if a city’s mayor and the state governor go rogue by ignoring the oaths they swore on being voted into office, and connive to fan the flames of civil unrest and criminality by ordering the resources of…

ShadowGate:  What They Don’t Want You To See

The full length video was removed from YouTube as I expected. This journalist and mother and her husband were arrested by a SWAT team this weekend.  This video was just days before release.   Copy it if you have the tools to do so. 

This is about the people and technology in the coup to remove President Trump and spy on and database the information in private databases on everyone including the U.S. Congress, the U.S. State Department, in databases in Germany, which provide unfettered access, read, modify and delete permission information, which can be sold, used to blackmail, open or “dox” anyone. They can predictably program people by psychological warfare tools, for example how people vote, or what a news organization publishes. Social media influence operations using the same tools used by the CIA and U.S. military to influence press, people and elections in other countries has been turned against Americans.

It’s 1, 2, 3 what we testing for?

We still don’t know if COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) is the cause of this pandemic, at least I have not found that publication. Have you? Is SARS CoV-2 the primary infection? Or, is it an opportunistic, secondary infection on top of immune systems already weakened by pneumonia, cancer, chemo, diabetes, heart disease or other chronic disease? Has anyone seen a publication fulfilling either Koch’s or River’s Postulates? for SARS CoV-2?

More on Koch’s Postulates at this link:

The end of BLM

“Seattle BLM protesters march through residential neighborhoods and demand white people give up their homes.

“Give up your house. Give Black people back their homes.” “what are you going to do about it? Open up your wallets.”

“You’re sitting there comfortably — comfortable as f—k as if they didn’t help gentrify this neighborhood! I used to live in this neighborhood, and my family was pushed out, and you’re sitting up there having a good time with your other white friends!”

A second clip purportedly shows BLM demonstrators and Antifa members calling for white people to “get the f–k out” as others in the crowd call for reparations.

“Give us our s–t back!” one man yells.”

77 consecutive nights of rioting, looting, protesting, and things are getting more insane and out of control by the day, ladies and gentlemen.

Attorney Sidney Powell and U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii Democrat) destroy Kamala Harris on her record

Kamala Harris’ worst offense, which would eliminate her from consideration of all future positions in government if there were any justice in politics, was her defense to a judge supposedly on behalf of the public using her formal legal position to defend outright lying and falsification by a prosecuting attorney in court proceedings.

Here we have a flash back article by Sidney Powell who more recently defended Lt. General Michael Flynn who had been framed by the Obama FBI and DOJ. In this article, Sidney rips Kamala Harris, Attorney General of California at the time.

California Prosecutor Falsifies Transcript of Confession: Court of Appeal slams Attorney General Kamala Harris again By Sidney Powell • 03/04/15 1:04pm

———————–

Harris says she’s proud of her record, “but I am deeply concerned about this record,” said Gabbard. “There are too many examples to cite, but…she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.”

https://uniteamericafirst.com/steven/flashback-watch-tulsi-gabbard-destroy-party-favorite-kamala-harris-and-expose-her-record-as-dirty-prosecutor/

In August of 2019 at the Democratic debate, Tulsi Gabbard utterly destroyed Kamala Harris on her record as a prosecutor in California. Although Harris claims to be proud of her work as a DA and AG, there are many instances that others will see as problematic.

Like the case of Kevin Cooper. His lawyers wanted DNA testing done but as California AG opposed doing the testing that could set Cooper free.

Within hours of his scheduled execution, Cooper was granted a reprieve, and then in 2019 California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered new DNA tests for Cooper that AG Kamala Harris had opposed.

That case is still being re-investigated, but many people believe that Cooper is innocent.

In another instance that was not brought up in the debate, it was discovered that the lab was manufacturing evidence. According to California law, Harris was obligated to tell those people who were convicted with evidence from the lab about the problem with the lab testing.

She did not do that. Over 1,000 prisoners were freed from prison after reviewing by the courts, since there was no way to tell who might have had evidence manufactured against them by the lab.

Also during the debate, Gabbard brought up the fact that Harris convicted over 1,500 people on pot charges and then she laughed about it because she had smoked pot herself.

But what might be more important than the people she charged with crimes is the people she did not prosecute.

One of the most egregious non-prosecutions is against priests of the Catholic church and lawsuits against the church.

I’m sure it’s coincidental but Harris did not charge a single priest with sex crimes against children. In fact, she hid all the evidence she had on the priests and that evidence was eventually destroyed. https://uniteamericafirst.com/steven/flashback-watch-tulsi-gabbard-destroy-party-favorite-kamala-harris-and-expose-her-record-as-dirty-prosecutor/

SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) tests are like a hammer without a nail

Hammer all you want on pieces of wood, but you are only wasting effort, time and money and destroying wood until the hammer hits a nail.  And then it must be the right kind of nail, long enough to do the job.

The antibody, the rtPCTR and PCR tests detect something.  But the tests have a false positive rate and a false negative rate.  You had a hammer and a nail, but the hammer did not hit the nail. 

Also, the test may or may not be testing for the pathogen, or the RNA or DNA sequence that is the cause of the disease.  That pathogen structure detected by the antibody or the RNA sequence or DNA sequence could be from a cell or pathogen that died.  You had a hammer and a nail, but it was the wrong type of nail, too short.

The viral load we are measuring could easily be the result of a COVID-19 opportunistic infection that occurred following and on top of an immune system which was already weakened by some other chronic disease.  The chronic disease is causing many cells to die.  And other cells are weakened which allows COVID-19 and other pathogens to enter or attack the cells.  This is the very strong reason to protect nursing homes and the elderly.  This could also be the reason symptoms are so varied and different, and also the reason one treatment works and another does not.  You had a hammer, but no nail.   

My point is there are very many possibilities.  A complex decision tree would need to be built, but that is no guarantee of success.  The absence of diligence in the virology and journalism is appalling and scary.  I become more skeptical each additional day that we do not see the published proof of cause.  As referenced before on this blog, the protocols to validate a hypothetical cause of an infectious disease are decades old, published, peer reviewed many times over and well known.  Virologists know how to find the right kind of nail, fit for purpose.    

The variety of symptoms is spread all over the map.  That leads one to a hypothesis that this pandemic  is more than one disease.  Fortunately, most MDs for the last 50 years are trained to treat the symptoms as presented to them.  Fortunately, most MDs learned to observe whether the boards needed to be joined by a nail, a screw, staples or glue and did not insist on using a hammer.  

Perhaps some intellectual distance will help.  I offer an analogy separate from this pandemic.  Sales guy repeatedly forecasts sales which do not become orders.  Sales manager travels with sales guy to visit a customer who is listed on forecast.  Sales manager asks customer if he is decision maker for this purchase. Customer says, “No, that would be my boss.”  Befuddled sales guy leaves, forgetting his briefcase.  True and frequently repeating story.  

Another analogy.  Atmosphere is slowly warming.  Over 100 governments, thousands of corporations et al, and millions of teachers and perhaps a billion or more people assume that this warming is caused by CO2 emitted by humans burning fossil fuels.  Indeed atmospheric CO2 concentration has been slowly  rising for over 100 years and that increase could be associated/correlated with the temperature rise.   

However, an association or a statistical correlation does not prove cause.  On the other hand, if there is a causal relationship, then there must be a strong correlation.  The cause – effect relationship is not reversible.  Burn that in your brain so that you do not forget it.

The global warming agenda is the exact situation we have now in this COVID-19 pandemic.  We have been told by presumed experts, teachers, media and screaming children that humans are causing global warming and life as we know it will end, sooner than later.  But like this pandemic, there are many possible causes for the very slow warming of earth’s atmosphere, and like this pandemic the symptoms are highly variable and they are complicated. 

The COVID-19 panic has resulted in a huge reduction in automobile and airplane travel, which means a huge reduction in human-produced CO2 emitted into the air.  Literally, oil companies are going bankrupt due to low oil prices due to low demand for oil and gas.  However, the atmospheric CO2 concentration, which has been continuously measured in one location since 1948, and slowly increasing during that period, shows no significant decline in the accepted standard measurement of net global atmospheric CO2 concentration during this pandemic.  Logically, we can infer human CO2 is an insignificant contributor to net global CO2 concentration.  It should be obvious: reducing the human carbon footprint is pointless, wasted effort, time and money, like hammering a board with no nail; in other words, human CO2 and burning of fossil fuels is not the cause of global warming.  But, you can be certain that the CO2 data will be “adjusted” by the experts.  Do you think the COVID data are adjusted too? We have been told by experts that humans and cows and ants are causing dangerous warming, mostly told to us by experts and people whose livelihood depends on us believing and paying. But their hypothesis is false and over $1 trillion has been spent on their false agenda so far with no end in sight.

And now here we go again, destroying good wood with lots of hammers, but so far they have no nail.

I am not the only skeptic…

The Tesla experience

Good Samaritans stop to help a fellow traveler on the hiway.  The stranded man is driving a Tesla.  He says he needs gas.  They give him a can of gas.  (laughs all around) He has an gasoline powered Honda electric generator in his trunk and the cable and plug to connect it to his Tesla.  The story continues…

Can this be true? Help me with this arithmetric!

According to this BBC report, and many others, the atmospheric CO2 concentration in the last ice age was around 180 parts per million by volume (PPMV). This is a proxy from measurements of CO2 entrapped in ancient ice in ice core drillings.

BBC was selected as an uber liberal source to dispel the usual ad hominem attacks. I do not endorse or accept anything in this BBC article. But that is not the point here.

But check my arithmetric here. Is this correct?

180/1000000ppmv CO222,000 years ago (see BBC chart )
400/1000000ppmv CO2Today (see data from Keeling lab on Mauna Loa)
220/1000000ppmv CO2 differenceIncrease in last 22,000 years
220/220000.01ppmv increase per year in CO2
0.01 * 100 ppmv increase in CO2 in last 100 years (all sources)
1molecule of CO2 per million increased in 100 years (from all sources.) 

So, if I have this right, in the last 22,000 years the global CO2 concentration has been increasing by on average 0.01 molecule per million per year, from human and all other natural sources, and almost all of that increase happened thousands of years ago before humans were burning oil. Is that right?

If I am right, therefore, world bankers, over 100 national governments (but not the Trump administration!), the UN, the EU, most international corporations, most NGOs and almost all mainstream media – mentally and emotionally abused children – are aggressively pushing the propaganda that this 1 (i.e. one) molecule of CO2 per year increase per 1 million molecules of air is controlling or adversely affecting the temperature and climate of the entire planet. Is that right?

Watch this short video below. Then, if you believe the paragraph immediately above here, then I have something you need. Trust me, I will be discrete. Please contact me through this blog site. I think I can help you.
