Re. "...it feels degrading to speak into a non-answering void," and other sentiments like it, consider that we have been groomed for this death train. It has not yet reached its final (inhuman) destination but we can now see it clearly: a social credit score system tied to CBDC, using opaque, unappealable, ever-changing and utterly impersonal algorithms which (allegedly) maximize the "common good"--which is neither--to enforce, well... everything.

Leaping off isn't an option, for they have (proverbially speaking) nailed the doors shut and we are already deep into enemy territory--the whole planet, under their God-hating rule.

I am no Luddite. I worked in high and exciting tech spheres in the dotcom boom and for some time thereafter. I helped put such things in place. But when companies began--quite rationally--to shunt live phone calls down menu trees, to voice-response systems, e-mail, websites and whatnot, we all felt the loss of human connection and reasonableness.

We discovered that it was priceless only after it vanished but, even so, no one in corporate-world could financially defend the old ways with appeals to things like customer satisfaction, loyalty, or competitive advantage. I sat at some of those tables. I ginned up some of those figures. I made instinctual pleas. And I wasn't alone. So, failure was not for lack of plenty of well-meaning folk trying.

But now that it's all in place, and we're used to it, they count on our playing the game. They count on our fatigue and ennui in appealing within the system and reporting back that doing so is useless, or at least fickle (banned one minute; restored the next; banned again). They count on our being fascinated by the back-and-forth of a game within walls that we don't notice at first keep closing in. (Cue the first Star Wars movie and the desperate dumpster scene.) They count on our putting our hopes on bold men like Elon. But he merely plays the game better than most. Because he is a sinner like the rest of us, the question is not whether he is compromised, but how.

Most like to imagine mankind outside the train, able to derail it. We look for USAF WWII counterfactual heroes. We've learned! "...won't get fooled again." (Cue Roger Daltrey's crushing guitar riff.) But we're inside the train. The system takeover attempt this time is truly global and existential. What will happen next to Adam's race? Same as it ever was. Our only hope is outside the system.

God must "bomb" the "rails" (metaphorically speaking). I pray in trust that--in His perfect timing, for His glory, and for the good of those who love God (in Christ) and are called according to His purposes*--He will do precisely that. *(Now would be an excellent time to memorize Romans 8:28)

Man! I was riveted by your post...you need to write a Substack of your own!

Thanks, Will!! Having now wildly chalked the driveway of our gracious host with a larger word-count mural than I set out to write, your encouragement furthers something I've been thinking about for a while. In the meantime, you can read my fiction at: bit.ly/CWS-p

I unsub'd from Taibbi for an arguably lesser offense: his celebration of Andrew Breitbart's death.

He does make a good tool for this disclosure, though. The left can't argue he's part of some right-wing agenda.

I didn't know about that. Does the devil still control him, do you think?

I replied again while you were writing that. See below. In brief: yes.

PS - Here's his article on AB:

Except that they very much do. He and Greenwald are seen as traitors and Russian operatives for daring to step off the left's bullet train to fascism.

Dude has blind spots for sure. He hasn't been particularly impressive on covid or its miracle cure. I'm sure there's at least some speculation about his previously healthy husband's mysterious illness he ain't touching with a 10 ft pole.

Dr. Kory also has an opinion: "Anyway, Taibbi’s article was otherwise.. meh. Smart guy, but, like Berenson, he just doesn’t “get it.” (re: Ivermectin, 2021 - https://pierrekory.substack.com/p/the-timeline-of-major-battles-in)

Dr. Kory is right to be unimpressed. Much about this stinks of a spoonfed release of recently deemed allowable information. Every good chef knows to sprinkle some truth atop a serving of lies.

Tit for tat, they had a feud, which AB started: "Breitbart has written some nasty things about me personally, once contrived to publish my private emails online, and even teamed up with Rush Limbaugh to humorously mis-identify me as a behind-the-scenes marionettist of the “media-Democrat industrial complex” (Breitbart thought I was improperly advising Occupy leaders), but all that’s okay. I think today, it’s safe to stand back and simply recognize that while many people go through their lives without leaving distinguishing marks, Andrew Breitbart definitely had his moments."

This is so important and perhaps we can break the mind control that is so pervasive at some point on the topic of 'trump' and the psyop that is the presidency in the US at this point. I don't believe the american people have elected a president in a very long time- who would leave, we the people, in charge of a multi multi trillion $$$ corporation? Never. The collusion between the CIA and the world wide mafias are there for anyone to see and investigate. Reinette Senum, who ran against Newsom has started a very good substack which is addressing this issue. Of course Whitney Webb, James Corbett and Catherine Austin Fitts tirelessly lay down the truth for anyone who cares to read about it. Thank you for continuing to lay the trail of bread crumbs for those willing to follow.

I personally would like to see what comes out and then go in the way back machine and see if it’s true or not. Don’t forget we already have everything available to us if you know where to look. Those who come out as saviors are heavily scrutinized so hopefully it’s good stuff.

You are aware that the wayback machine can be scrubbed? I read that it was founded by? the uncle of Taylor Lorenz. I don’t know if that is actually true but you can request to have your info removed from the archive. And Taylor Lorenz does that with her Twitter. https://instapundit.com/516376/

I just read that screenshot that's apparently Taibbi writing about coercing his girlfriend into getting an abortion. Even if he "addresses" that, what would he say? Yes, I'm a smug, Godless, self-aborbed asshole who's proud of his hatred of children?

Yeah, what did I mean? You're right. There is no "addressing" it. It's genuinely shocking.

Taibbi is one of, forgive me, THEM. We don't want "us and them" vibes but let's get real.

Celia…I can only imagine how infuriating it must be to still be banned, but I see it as a badge of honor. For whatever it’s worth, your dedication and persistence is greatly appreciated. I’m new to your channel thanks to John Rappaport who shared your work. I love him too 💜🙏

Yes, infuriating to be banned. I am itsy bitsy potatoes compared to other banned Tweeters, and I still do not understand why I have been perm-banned since Jan 8/21. Appeals are useless.

This a.m. I was lamenting to God that, outside of his Sacred Scripture, moral teaching, long-established theology, and witnesses of martyrs to faith, I have reached a point where I struggle to know what is true, real, manufactured, digitally enhanced. What history is (has long been) air-brushed, fabricated, twisted, exaggerated? How have we been deliberately manipulated over the centuries? If the MSM is totally corrupt, and we are being fed (and have long been fed) a diet of half-truths and bold-faced lies; if politicians on both sides have long sold their souls for greed, lust and power, then how shall we disseminate truth and fact in our history, our events, and our structures? (And, frankly, this is exactly where our enemies would want us to be). Like many, I now take everything with a grain of salt. And I loathe that state of confusion.

But then it struck me that with the continued freedom of substacks, we see in the talented authors, as well as writers in the commentariat, a variety of considered opinions, angles, and thought processes that force us to continue the valuable process of examining, thinking, focusing, studying. In the end, that which retains luscious, harmonious chords that force the heart, mind and gut to agree will remain standing. Kyrie eleison.

I hear you and can resonate. But, this notion that “we can’t ever know what’s objectively true” has been slowly but surely implanted by the psychopaths running this BS. I highly recommend watching Mark Passio’s Natural Law series which is somehow still on YouTube. He’s formally a Satanist and explains exactly how we’ve come to this place. I found it validating in many ways. FYI, he doesn’t pull any punches and speaks with a somewhat angry harsh tone- I didn’t mind. But as he expresses in so many words, “don’t make the mistake of discounting the truth just because you don’t like the messenger.”

Expand full comment

Thanks for that, Dan. Perhaps I laid it out poorly. Oh, yes, I know there is objective truth, especially in my faith roots (and that's the major part), but what is bombarding us right now has the tendency to shake us. What do we believe in the events unfolding around us? Who is lying? Who is telling the truth? Who is laughing at us? What lies have been perpetrated in the past? Who are the perps?

Interesting that just yesterday I dusted off my copy of Prof Charles Rice's "Fifty Questions on Natural Law." I plan to go through it again, but I shall also be very interested in Mark Passio's series. Oh my, there are not enough hours in the day. Thanks again.

You’re welcome and you expressed yourself well. I can resonate because the propaganda is sooooo unrelenting that it can be easy to “forget” (I.e not attend to) Objective Truth at times. I’m guessing you’ll love his videos.

Ad hominem against him doesn’t mean what he is reporting is wrong and shouldn’t be heard, in contrast with the typical response from the left, to discredit by any means necessary to preserve their lies and narrative.

I added these lines to clarify that there are two separate, not conditionally connected matters raised in the post.

"I think he should address it. But “our side” should not pretend it’s nothing.

We understand it’s the usual ad homeneim—not germaine to the Twitter files.

In a sense I changed the subject. It’s another subject—Matt Taibbi’s dark side."

Eye on the ball. Isn't it just possible that all this Twitter kerfuffle, like so many other kerfuffles, is simply another distraction intended to capture our attention (which it has, clearly) so that we stop focusing on the real and imminent threat to our liberty? Honestly, why does all this Twitter stuff matter so much to so many? In the big scheme, what happens or does not happen on Twitter will seem to be meaningless, and forgotten, once we all are enslaved by CBDCs and have lost complete control over our bodies and our lives.

Truth told, we all would be far better off if we stopped using social media altogether. Try to sell that one to people whose whole lives are lived online.

Please don't let your Twitter suspension eat at you, Celia. There is no point in expecting fair or rational from evil. Evil is evil. Don't let it consume your energy or attention. It needs to be shunned. In my opinion, your suspension is a blessing and is to be celebrated.

And no, El-on is no savior. He is quite the opposite. He is anti-human, perhaps the leading trans-humanist and a wanton experimenter on animals.

I come to my personal opinions from always being apolitical, outside the box and probably my inner intuition and guidance, cal it God, call it the universe whatever. But, from 2005 to 2022 I can honestly say I never even knew who these 2 journalists were. Matt and Bari, I simply never read them or paid them any mind. I did know who Celia is and the whole other gang, ( I kinda like this name now ) is.

I somehow was able to work within the Matrix without pushing anyone’s buttons. I was speaking out against everything in a way that somehow made me weird, but too successful to challenge. That all changed with Covid. The rabid sheep went into such an evil cull that no matter who I did or didn’t support politically wouldn’t have mattered.

There’s a very strong evil in the world, especially the entertainment industry.

I still don’t trust them.

You mentioned your ban occurred in early 2021. The latest drop from Bari Weiss says they were eager to censor medical information (tweet#35) after banning Trump in early 2021 https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1602375528224215040?s=46&t=S2AEKUfyyb64G4qRt7y_cw

He's doing real journalism, the sort that Sey Hersh has done. Dumb frat boy stuff he did in the past needs to be left in the past, he's gone way beyond that, and we need real journalists now. Badly.
