Not an accident or coincidence. Of course, what we see manifested in our daily lives has multi-factorial origins but IMO, there is one overarching culprit. Sixty years of rot in ACADEMIA

It's the vaccines. Yes education brainwashing is real. But why do some see it and others do not?

You cannot overestimate the negative consequences to toxic injections from birth. There are other toxic sources but injections are by far the most common.

It's not just Autism, Asthma, ADHD and autoimmunity that result from the injections, it's also a vast array of cognitive problems labeled as OCD, ODD, Anxiety,SPD, APD, Apraxia and much more.

What does this look like in the real world?

Crime; lots of crime. Lack of impulse control; rudeness, impatience, anger. schizophrenia, pedophilia, sensory and auditory processing disorders, inability to follow directions.

An overall diminished cognitive function that manifests in every way. Most especially in discernment of what is true and right. They become very susceptible to manipulation by educational institutions and social media.

For anyone who hasn’t seen it, I recommended viewing a documentary which opened just this week at the Malibu Film Festival where it won best in show. Called An Inconvenient Study by Emmy winning medical reporter Del Bigtree it is about a large, recent study of the childhood vaccine schedule that didn’t come out as expected and was not released. Hidden camera interviews and astonishing info. Can be streamed free at Aninconvenientstudy.com. Worth the time.

Outstanding film that looks at one of the major issues of our era -- both the issue of vaccine safety and the penomenon of massive cover-up . . . or what appears to be massive coverup with most reseachers and medical people refusing to go near the topic. Tells us a lot about the authoritarian aspects of medicine and about human psychology when we are too afraid to search for truth.

That film is one of the most revealing exposé of how a scientist was herded into compromised stances, which, by the way, contributed to thousands of lives being injured and/or lost. I hope all the world sees this film. If anything else, it will unquestionably fortify what RFKjr. is faced with and the hurdles that need to be overcome.

The injured ones & families-- i.e. those with the autism, adhd, anxiety, asthma, ataxia, apraxia, aphasia, sensory sensitivity etc are the families leading the medical freedom movement. The unaware are still taking the questionable prescription meds, feeling uncomfortable in their own skins, eating the processed crap that passes for food, not reading, not questioning, not worrying about their issues with methylation. The ones acting out on society aren't here reading this substack and being insulted by your peculiar reversal.

I just wanted to circle back on an important point you mention above when you state "...what I am against is believing the dogma that conclusions from all scientific enquiry are meritorious". On this point, we agree. There is good science and there is junk science. The science underpinning the vaccine schedule doesn't undergo the rigor that medical products not labeled as biologics undergo. Because they don't have to. It's not a pretty story. After the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Act passed wherein all product liability for harm was removed, the responsibility for proper vaccine safety studies became murky. The outcome has been disastrous.

The only vaccine that has truly hurt people in recent years is the Covid vaccine that I actually know of and I’m one of those people. Didn’t mess with my mind or change my manners. Just screwed up my body.

There’s some drugs that do mess with your mind and they’re the ones usually prescribed by Psychiatrists.

As for the changes in manners and how people treat each other today in my opinion is the lack of respect shown in cinema and music. This happens because it becomes normal to those who see or hear the same violence as every day. I really hate to say this because it shows my age. Children have been brought up seeing this as the normal way to react to anything they don’t like. It’s not normal or necessary to act like a toddler to get your point across. Acting out in anger just gets people killed and once a person (people) are dead you can’t take it back. Today anger has lead to selfish behavior and lack of empathy for others. If I scream loud enough I’ll get what I want and what I think I’m entitled to. That’s the way people have changed. Another problem is the lack of respect for our elders. Not that respect should be given freely. It does have to be earned (protection from abuse is what I mean by earned) by our elders too. Our elders have been disregard and pushed out of sight. Basically seen as a burden for decades. A valuable resource has been wasted. Losing this resource has become a deterrent for society today.

I learned so much from my grandparents at an early age that is missing in society today. That break in learning over decades has left us with the ills of society today.

Thank you for reading what I’ve said and hopefully it helps! Have a wonderful day.

The issue remains on the individual. The demonic has influence! But we have choice (until one has rejected God’s Spirit's call long enough that he turns you over to your own will and way 2 Timothy 4:3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will reject the truth and chase after myths. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. 10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. 11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. 12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.)

Why has using the 'F' word become normal? Someone argued with me recently, that it is no longer considered obscene language. I wonder how they would feel if I went to their place of employment and chatted with staff, peppering sentences with the word. Should be no problem at all. I'm not talking about the odd expression of profanity when driving or such, rather its constant use.

Expand full comment
Paige's avatar

If you use that language when driving you better not look at the person you’re cursing to. My mom and my grandparents taught me that it was okay if you’re driving (don’t look at the person they might have a gun) and if you stub your toe it’s perfectly fine to use the F word. Well between my mom and myself we did use a lot of curse words, but they were never used in malice. Intentions of hate, making people feel small, has become the way society communicates today. It just shows how much we regard ourselves and others. Not good and unfortunately I don’t see society turning back to being civil. Looks like history isn’t going to repeat itself again.

Roisin Dubh's avatar

Yes, if you openly show anger while driving you risk being shot. I read a psyche paper a few years ago, and it said using swear words when under severe stress, reduces stress. I wish people who use the word as a matter of course could see that it is unappealing. I think the comedians who do not use it, are funnier.

Expand full comment
Paige's avatar

Yes I’ve read that study too. I did learn it from my mom first though.

Yes usually using curse words does bring down stress levels. I don’t like it either how it’s become commonly used in public with or without intention of being hurtful towards others. I like you find comedians more funny without the use of curse words. They actually have to think more about the jokes they tell. I do love a witty person. Except my grandfather who use to hit me with a mind bending question before I even had my coffee in the morning. Actually I do miss it now that he is no longer alive. He was very witty and very intelligent. That’s what I meant in another comment about how we just throw away our elders and we have lost our morals in society today.

The cultural shift away from classical virtues like prudence and temperance has been exacerbated by unchecked immigration, introducing culturally incompatible elements that weaponize societal discord. This mirrors the Tower of Babel, where linguistic and cultural fragmentation sowed chaos. In a homogeneous society, we would not require interpreters, and our cultural virtues could remain intact.

I have never liked gratuitous violence and have turned off or walked out of movies. Aside from desensitizing us, it exemplifies a huge lack of imagination and utter lack of talent, as well as a cheap desire to capitalize on the lurid. They are today's version of the 18th C. "Freak Shows". They are grossly inappropriate.

Wonder what caused 'The Degeneracy of Manners and Morals'? In my opinion, one of the primary causes are the vile vaccines, which American children have been given regularly, since the 1950s. The toxic matter in them wipe out the glands in the brain, the hypothalamus, the pituitary and the Pineal Gland, which create the ability to think, the memory and the emotional development of children. The Pineal Gland is thought to be the Seat of Consciousness, which guides us as to right or wrong; our intuition and perception. I remember, the gut feelings that I used to have as a child about many things. I had a strong connection to the Creator, too. Many children today are very disrespectful and rude. They have lost any connection to our Creator. I believe it is because of all these injections, which have contributed to the destruction of their minds. It is one of the reasons that America has sunk to the bottom of the barrel scholastically , morally, and also health-wise.

Vaccines are only a vehicle for, and a means of. For, and of, TECHNOCRACY & TRANSHUMANISM. The "evil twins" birthed from the unholy marriage of "GREG B.", and his "wife", Mother Earth/Mother Nature. ("GREG B." = Global(ist) Ruling Elites & Global Banksters.) That's how I see it. All this division is the direct result of the employment of "divide & Conquer" tactics arising from the mentality inherent in TPTB....

I’m sorry if this was the case I would be the rudest person and my mom would be right next to me with the same behavior. I had vaccines as a child and so did my mom. My grandparents didn’t have vaccines, but they taught me and my mom how to treat people without hate, violence, or screaming just to get my point across. I don’t even see how religion comes into play with how people act. I’m not religious, my mom wasn’t religious, and my grandparents weren’t religious either. As I’ve said here on another reply is we have thrown away our elders and what they have to teach us. Over many decades it’s has been lost forever. Unless you teach your children now, but it’s highly unlikely.

I try to live (do my my best) to follow this maxim: With greater freedom comes greater responsibility. The modern trend is the opposite: seek maximum freedom including freedom FROM responsibility. As a (former) life long Democratic voter, I am turned off by the lack of discrimination in that party's politics. So many policies and practices show no link between freedom and responsibility, and when things fall apart, the solution is often more of the same; making excuses for the failure and the way it enables irresponsible behavior, and then spending even more tax money on sliding down that slippery slope as their "solution."

I see the same parallel in socialism and communism, which is now woven into the American way: instead of rewarding individual initiative, the person with a problem is a victim of circumstance and rewarded with excessive sympathy and support to keep on doing the same self-destructive behaviors instead of steering the person to take responsibility.

Mr. Leake, not only do I agree, but I feel strongly that this is at the root of so many things going on today. What happened to the following things? I can’t find them. Can anyone else here relate?

Morals. Ethics. Manners. Honesty. Decency. Family. Discipline. Individual responsibility. Self control. Not stealing from others. Consideration for others. Kindness. The art of conversation. Respecting others. Sacrifice. Hard work. Putting others above oneself. Tolerance. Doing things with your hands (sewing, cooking, building…remember hobbies?) Lack of selfishness. Maturity. Self-discipline. Strength of character. Seeing difficulties as problems to cope with and solve, rather than complaining and being a perpetual victim. Critical thinking ability. Open-mindedness/willingness to listen to the opinion of others. Agreeing to disagree. I could go on. Simply put, the world cannot function without these things.

Daily resistance.

McConaughey spoke of that being his hurdle once having achieved wealth and idleness. Without purpose, there was no daily drive. Without resistance--the world giving you a kick in the pants or a hardship to overcome--there was no purpose.

For someone naturally driven, probably not an issue. For the rest, it's a battle of work avoidance/pleasure seeking and no demands upon the mind and body. In short, life is too good, so people burn out on anxiety and boredom.

To the contrary, your point was taken.

Life IS too good, because the formative traits you describe are borne out of a societal need to cooperate and compete--healthfully--for daily and seasonal sustenance against nature and other men. By being tamed from little spoiled heathens into civil adults, people understand and seek to inculcate good traits and behaviors in their offspring.
