Just got this audio article pushed to my email. Interestingly, 41 minutes ago, I received a push notification from Apple Music telling me to listen to Neil Young's latest album on "Spatial Audio." No joke. ... I don't want this to come off as an ad for Spotify, but I don't need my phone indoctrinating me with its politics. I never even got a chance to make up my own mind.

Also, I never realized TK News had a YouTube component until yesterday. I get all the Useful Idiots and Katie Halper channel stuff delivered right to my "Recommended" category. Nothing from TK News.

This was a great article when I read it originally, and the problem has only gotten worse with the addition of Vivek Murthy. Now it's government saying Rogan needs to go away.

To paraphrase Judge Judy, the government frequently pees on our leg and tells us it's raining. Therefore, we rely on the MSM to ferret out the truth. Unfortunately, we're now at the stage where the MSM is also peeing on our leg. What to do? Thank goodness for alternative media and independent journalists, but is that enough when many people only have time to grab headlines?

Graham Lineham is the writer and director of the greatest British comedy show since Monty Pythons Flying Circus. The IT Crowd is available on Netflix, endure the first season and enjoy a truly enriched life from binging out on the following four seasons. Your mouth might get tired from howling with laughter.

Graham Lineham is very clearly TEAM J.K. Rowling. There are dishonest actors in the transgender movement. I do honestly wish that there were not. I wish that every transgender person was honest and real. I do not want anything bad to happen to any transgender person, unless they hurt the vulnerable membership of the patriarchial society that we have to live in, women and children should be protected. Women should compete against women in sport. Female children should be able to have Spa day with their mothers or grandmothers without any male of the species being in this space.

So first it's Neil Young and now Joni Mitchell who wants to shoot themselves in the foot. I have boys in their twenties and if their vice is listening to Joe Rogan then I am a successful mom who taught their kids to listen and think for themselves. Neither of my children have any idea what any Kardashian is doing right now. They did go to the gym though and probably had a green shake for lunch. I'm all for Joe Rogan and I like to listen to his interviews. I do have this to say to Joni Mitchell and posted it RS FB My response to Joni pulling her songs rom Spotify. These people could snort a line off of anything. They grew out a fingernail. Now they act self righteous. My kids are at the gym. I'm just saying. Please try to imagine if there were a pandemic during the Haight Ashbury, Woodstock days or when stock brokers were snorting coke off of hookers in the eighties, nineties and early two thousands. I do not want this generation/s who have already done so much damage to now get to censor what my kids get to read, hear, learn... Enough is enough. My side is worth being heard. I don't care if they like the fact that I am good with Joe Rogan. People should stop apologizing for that especially while MSM is trying to sell yet another war. To Joni: "Oh FFS, your generation did more destruction to this planet than any other so pardon us if we just don't GAF what you think. You paved paradise and put up a parking lot and then you deregulated the banks and invited China into the WTO and kept us in never ending wars all while cutting taxes on the rich and saying it it would trickle down...The cocaine snorting generation of don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone but hey you got yours crowd as zero credibility. Haven't you done enough damage? You think you are in a position to scold? That's f'ng rich. Hook up with Neil I hear he's in a burned out basement somewhere. Take your music wherever you want, its your right but you're not smart to discard generations of people after your generation got it so wrong. YOUR generation is the reason it's all gone to shit and you are so woke that you can't see it. Stop blaming others for what you did. The sea is filled with plastic, the temp. is rising, 45,000. die in this country without healthcare and corporations run the place now, but do go on about Joe Rogan and the damage he causes. You and your geriatric generation we are all paying for should absolutely go on Joe Rogan's podcast and talk or STFU.. "

"I was particularly struck by a recent Mashable article that talked about a supposed “backlash” against Substack’s “growing collection of anti-trans writers,” which seemed to refer to Jesse Singal (who is no such thing) and Graham Linehan and — that’s it."

Actually, that's not it. First, there's Abigail Shrier, author of "Irreversible Damage," an investigation of trans identification among teenage girls and its enabling by the medical, legal and educational establishments. She devotes most of her time on Substack these days covering the incursion of trans-identified males into women's prisons and women's sports. But she'll be the first to say that she isn't anti-trans. She's anti the ubiquitous campaign to indoctrinate children in transgender ideology and to throw biological women under the bus.

Then there's PITT, Parents With Inconvenient Truths About Trans, the most important site in the world for the dissemination of information about the brainwashing and medicalization of children under the unsuspecting noses of their parents. Read it and be furious.

1. Matt, I double dog dare you to take the facts laid out herein and post it as one of your breaking news articles...it should be a great opportunity for you to put out this before any of your peers..... "Fully Vax 76.6% MA Covid Infections for week 1/15/22"

2. Speaking of censorship, the reason I am passing baton on this story to Matt is because I have just tasted censorship (I tried to post this on the 'Conspiracy' thread on Reddit.. and here is story ad example of (1) mass media suppression of key data when it contravenes their agenda. (ie: A HUGE STORY BASED ON UNDISPUTED FACT GOES UNREPORTED BECAUSE IT PIERCES THE FALSE NARRATIVE)

(2) direct censorship by Reddit prevented my post from going live claiming "auto-spam detector" (now cut and paste below), (3) the 'psyops' technique aka 'Limited Hangout' that MSN.com and related mass media then add to mitigate the threat. Here they post

some of the data but promote a totally useless number which is similar to the real figure/fact

they want to suppress (see technique below and notice how they use- "6.8%" --- to blunt 76.6%)

"Fully Vax 76.6% MA Covid Infections for week 1/15/22 (suppression via media '6.8%' psyop)

Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's spam filters.

Reddit's automated bots frequently filter posts it thinks might be spam.

76.6% Massachussets Covid Infections Fully Vax for week 1/15/22, media shouts "6.8%"

MA admits # of Vax infections undercounted thus likely significantly higher*

The public wouldnt be able to learn 76.6% or even the "majority" of MA infections are Vax from any newspaper, television show. Even the MA covid health data site wont dare disclose that figure.

One has to download raw data and then make certain calculations before getting theinformation and facts necessary to come to the 76.6% figure.......

Conspiracy to suppress truth? YES!

here is how you get there: the state and media disclose on January 21, 2022 the fact that for week of jan 15, there were 86,450 new COVID infections in vaccinated people...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mass-reports-86450-breakthrough-covid-19-cases-raising-total-to-68-percent-of-fully-vaccinated-people

out of 112747 total infected for week of 1/15/22 (which is the total adding up by day raw data listed below, you can get from here:

https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-response-reporting#covid-19-interactive-data-dashboard-

9764, 28199, 17199, 18555, 17785, 15037, 62088

Psyop: U WILL ONLY THINK ABOUT TINY "6.8%" (total vaccinated in State)

The Game? MA State & Media collude and continue a long running conspiracy to suppress unfavorable accurate facts

Step 1: dont announce or report the 76.6 % of infections are Vax figure which is of course the most relevant number.

Step 2 make sure in the reports of the total Vax # to never never include the # of total infections for the week, god forbid the public is able to do the math on the spot from reading the news.

Step 3- Shiny Psyops Initiated: the link above from when MSN discloses the 86,450 vax for 1/15/22 appears to be "68percent" (but refers to "6.8%"total vax in state) but when you read the article you will the media is runningnclassic psy-ops campaign to disorient and re-focus the public to think about HEY see its a tiny number at issue here, only 6.8% of the entire vaccinated population of Massachusset!

*"Note: Identification of cases in vaccinated people relies on matching data between the system of record for cases and vaccinations. The number of cases in vaccinated

people may be undercounted due to discrepancies in the names and dates of birth of individuals, resulting in an inability to match records across systems. Hospitalization data is likely also undercounted as identification and reporting of hospitalized cases relies on that information being obtainable by case investigators through patient interview."

-- There was a with a 44% reduction in COVID-19 infection rate for the cohorts using ivermectin prophylactically (p < 0.0001).

-- The regular use of ivermectin led to a 68% reduction in COVID-19 mortality (p < 0.0001). When adjusted for residual variables, reduction in mortality rate was 70% (p < 0.0001).

-- There was a 56% reduction in hospitalization rate among ivermectin users and non-users, respectively (p < 0.0001). After adjustment for residual variables, reduction in hospitalization rate was 67% (p < 0.0001).

Conclusion (from the study): In this large PSM study, regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates.

Folly has many meanings and from every side. We are surrounded.

Rogan is a problem in that he is not competent to appropriately question his denier guests, such as Malone and McCollough. His podcasts provide more misinformation and lies than valid information. Most of his listeners are just as clueless as he is and so have no fundamental understanding from which to draw skepticism about what they hear on his show. This is a problem, maybe it always has been, but it seems like conspiracy theories take up more oxygen than they did previously and so deniers have more control than they had in the past, they were more fringe and now are more mainstream.

One problem is that most people have chosen to not educate themselves by reading textbooks. The fact is that anyone can actually learn enough to understand a denier from someone with a legitimate argument, but most people are just too fucking lazy and they believe the lie that there are two sides to an argument when there is but one objective reality and science is a process to find it.

Well, please explain this contradiction to your claim that natural immunity is more effective than vaccine induced immunity or that authorities have changed their tune. That both assertions are false is clearly evident from this study, cited on the CDC in September. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html
