Jeremy Hammond Asks: Why Are So Many People Incapable Of Thinking Rationally?

'Most Americans are so dim-witted that they trust the government to tell them what is true or false.'

By Jeremy Hammond: The effectiveness of statist propaganda never ceases to amaze me. It is powerful witchcraft casting a spell of delusion over the population.

I would like to think that most people understand that the government lies. I’d like to think that most are capable of thinking for themselves. A recent public opinion survey by Pew Research Center, however, strongly suggests otherwise.

More than half of Americans (55%) said they think that the government should “take steps to restrict false information online, even if it limits freedom of information”.

I would like to think that most people would recognize the false premise of the question posed, which is that the government is both benevolent and infallible, but alas.

"NATO Is Sending Us Here To DIE" Ukrainian Commanders Admit They Are Cannon Fodder For NATO

Redacted: Captured Ukrainian commanders are admitting that NATO is sending inexperienced soldiers to the front lines, essentially turning them into cannon fodder. Western media is waking up to the fact that Ukraine’s counter offensive that started on June 4th was not a counter offensive at all but a total failure. Meaning that they sent tens of thousands of Ukrainian men to their deaths. So...now what?

Sometimes, Only Satire Does The Job...

“The scientists call them vaccines, the governments call them vaccines, it says ‘vaccine’ on the label.

Authored by Ramesh Thakur: Here is my review of Oisín MacAmadáin, Busting Anti-Vax Myths! Seriously EXPERT Arguments for the Covid-Deniers in Your Life (2022), with a Foreword by Dr. Anthony Faucet.

This is a slim, wickedly funny satire of 126 pages organised into ten chapters of rollicking hilarity. It’s a hugely enjoyable book for all those who were critical of lockdowns, masks, and vaccines. As the Brits say, it takes the piss out of all the self-proclaimed Covid experts, the public health clerisy, the media, and people with blind faith in the experts. 

Thus the fictitious professor Oisín MacAmadáin informs us of “a good friend in Dublin whose fully vaccinated father died from Covid. He also told me how much worse he knew it could have been.” And all the grannies going merrily about their way in Stockholm “must be brainwashed. A perfect example of state propaganda.” The true believers are likely to be offended. 

The book is successful in skewering the many Covidian dogmas because MacAmadáin closely tracks the many gaslighting tropes used by the experts and the authorities to attack critics, dissenters, Florida, and Sweden.

Taliban’s Massively Successful Opium Eradication Raises Questions About What US Was Doing All Along

"Armed with little more than sticks, teams of counter-narcotics brigades travel the country, cutting down Afghanistan’s poppy fields..."

Authored by Alan MacLeod: The Taliban government in Afghanistan – the nation that until recently produced 90% of the world’s heroin – has drastically reduced opium cultivation across the country. Western sources estimate an up to 99% reduction in some provinces. This raises serious questions about the seriousness of U.S. drug eradication efforts in the country over the past 20 years. And, as global heroin supplies dry up, experts tell MintPress News that they fear this could spark the growing use of fentanyl – a drug dozens of times stronger than heroin that already kills more than 100,000 Americans yearly.

The Taliban Does What the US Did Not

It has already been called “the most successful counter-narcotics effort in human history.”
