For the last four years the Russiagate coup has dogged Trump, as Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Mueller and a myriad of lesser co-conspirators have propagated the Big Lie to cover-up their traitorous actions of trying to overthrow Trump.
An honest truth-seeking press with unbiased journalists would have uncovered this conspiracy and revealed the truthful facts to a concerned public. Instead, a completely captured corporate media has turned a blind eye to the truth as they have acted as accomplices of the coup culprits. Just as evil is the suppression of truth through censorship and keeping silent regarding the truth.
Is this true? Is the mainstream media really telling us lies that we all swallow?
The way I see it, that’s how things used to be, when the only sources of news were three or four TV channels and about as many radio channels.
But these days I don’t watch any TV, or listen to any radio. I get all my information from the internet, on which there are thousands of news sources. It’s a cacophony. I wonder who to believe, or whether to believe anyone. It’s a fog. There’s no certainty. It’s a very different world.
I think we’re living through the death of the mainstream media, and the death of authoritative expertise. You can maybe make people think one way if you have just one radio station broadcasting to them. But when you have a thousand of them, all saying different things, you’re guaranteed confusion, everyone thinking differently. It’s become impossible to shape public opinion.
The 20th century was the era of mainstream media. That was the time of just one radio station. It was the only show in town.
But those days are long over. Now we’ve effectively got thousands of radio stations. Nothing is certain any more. But was it ever certain?
So is it a surprise if some people believe one thing, and other people believe the opposite, with any number of shades of opinion in between?
The attempt now is to block or ban undesirable news sources, or restrict access to them. How long is that likely to work? There are now too many news sources to tell one Big Lie.

Unfortunately, mainstream media is being replaced by media like Facebook etc that have now started the full slide into censorship if the complaints have value to them.

You have to go to blogs like this to find a reasonable approximation to ‘truth’.
The scariest thing is that the majority of internet traffic today (over 70% as of 2017) is destined for only a handful of websites owned by mega-corporations (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, etc.). Much like mainstream media, which is owned by a similar small group of giant companies, held such a strong stranglehold on information sharing for decades, so too has gone the World Wide Web.
In the early 2000s, there were countless independently-run forums with focuses on pretty much any subject you could imagine. Today, there is basically one website to rule them all–Reddit. Like big-box stores have driven mom-and-pop shops out of business, these mega-websites have killed off smaller competition, and in the process, have taken immense control of what we read, what we watch, what we buy and what we say. It’s depressing to see the once vast, free world of the internet becoming just as limited, censored, produced, packaged and polished as the mainstream media.
Isn’t it interesting that many native cultures around the world recognize(d) the medicinal properties of tobacco? It was only after the medical-industrial complex gained a stronghold on Western culture that tobacco became portrayed as one of the world’s most dangerous, deadly substances. It’s also very coincidental that many drugs and vaccines developed by the medical-industrial complex are derived from tobacco.
Well spotted Roobee, that’s going to take a lot of reading.
The Tabaquero only uses Rustica though, which we rejected for the much gentler Tabacum, so it’s much stronger medicine.
Perhaps this is why Tobacco Control can watch people dying in droves for lack of knowledge and stay silent on the subject of the Nitric Oxide in the smoke.
“Furthermore, according to Amazonian epistemologies, there are illnesses that are expressly related to spirits (noncorporeal living beings, which can be health- or sickness-promoting). The tobacco is said to be effective for such illnesses because the plant itself is associated with a powerfully healing spirit, which antagonizes malevolent entities:
“With tobacco [these kinds of illnesses] get cured in one go, because demons cannot live where there is tobacco.”
Nitric oxide a new treatment option for COVID-19
5 Oct 2020
“Researchers at Uppsala University have noted that an effective way of treating the coronavirus that caused the 2003 SARS epidemic also works on the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The substance is nitric oxide (NO), a compound that has antiviral properties and is produced by the body itself. The study is published in the journal Redox Biology. “To our knowledge, nitric oxide is the only substance shown so far to have a direct effect on SARS-CoV-2,” says Åke Lundkvist, a professor at Uppsala University, who led the study.

SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)
“SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) is caused by the SARS coronavirus, known as SARS CoV. Coronaviruses commonly cause infections in both humans and animals.
There have been 2 self-limiting SARS outbreaks, which resulted in a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening form of pneumonia. Both happened between 2002 and 2004.
Since 2004, there have not been any known cases of SARS reported anywhere in the world.”

But that was before the Smoking Bans spread across the world and now those demons are dancing everywhere.
One in the dungeon , Frank.
A lot of reading assuredly, but I’ve managed. Impressive, especially where the authors are referring us to unholy, huge volume of similar research, not related to shamans.
