I wonder sometimes if some hostile foreign power is really in charge of USA now and we just aren't being told. Because Nothing Makes Sense and yet it all continues. USA lost several recent wars, perhaps someone else has taken over but is not letting us know. I wonder.
If they don't let us know we are being taken over, we will not fight back
I look forward to a few years from now
when we know what is happening now

Those who call health mandates Nazi tactics are the main ones dying of covid. In the end, covid deniers will likely die in Holocaust-like numbers. They protest against public health wearing yellow stars like Jews had to in 1930s Germany, eerily predicting and enabling their own genocide.

Diminishing Covid to a simple flu is not the only disinformation message my neighbors are believing that is getting people killed. The claim that changing weather is just normal fluctuations in nature is another Big Lie that I think is part of an information warfare attack going on now against USA.
If Russia is not at least one of the powers behind the weaponized disinformation, they are certainly among first to take advantage of it. Russia has been building up naval bases in the waterways opening up due to melting Arctic oceans and glaciers for years, especially lately, while most the populated world is fighting fires and floods.
The same media outlets telling Americans not to get vaccinated because public health is tyranny have been telling us for decades that burning fossil fuel is not going to change the atmosphere in any drastic way, in fact plants love it. All anyone has to do is stand on the sidewalk of a freeway overpass during heavy traffic and feel the poisonous effect in real time to know that burning fossil fuels creates heat, and the way we're living is Not good for life on the planet that depends on air.
Another more obvious way
disinformation is killing Americans is the twisted interpretation of the Second
Amendment that's resulted in billions of guns on the American landscape. Interestingly,
one very publicly arrested foreign agent working for Russia recently was Maria
Butina, who was helping them kill us through the NRA. Americans now think the Second Amendment
gives everyone a right to own military grade rifles that give them the freedom to plan attacks on their neighbors.
Wow, the disinformation warfare in USA is a lot like what happened in Rwanda in 1994 where tribe members were convinced by messaging coming from a radio station to pick up weapons and kill their neighbors. Today we call that event the Rwanda Genocide. Hmm, then Fox News appeared in USA in 1995.
But I'm repeating myself again.
Link to previous stories at City of Angels Blog about similarities between U.S.events today and events leading up to Rwanda Genocide.
President Jimmy Carter was among first leaders to try to get Americans to stop our reliance on burning fossil fuels. The powers that be then used Iran to keep Carter from winning a second term.
Meanwhile my job works as a way
to explain to my brainwashed neighbors why I'm staying away from them, as
I mentioned in the post before this one. (LINK) My job which causes me to live
such odd hours I rarely have anyone to spend time with is now my
salvation.
I can't attend any virus mini-spreader
events taking place now, as Northern California redstate media consumers think the
pandemic is over, because I have to start work at midnight, which means I'm in
bed by 3 pm every day, even holidays or slow periods.
I've been doing the same job pretty
much since the 1980s when I lived one block from Sunset boulevard.
At the time I was unemployable after job smashups in the NASA Newsroom in
Houston and then Rogers and Cowan PR in Beverly Hills and I lived in a one room
studio on Holloway Drive. It was a time when
freelance typing services thrived in the area, remember the firm Barbara's
Place who sent women to John Belushi's hotel room with a portable Selectric to
take down his ramblings the weekend before he died. I worked for one of their
biggest competitors, only Studio Typing was a storefront at 8555 Sunset, half
block from the top of the hill at La Cienega.
I started working there as an occasional typist, then
soon was running the operation where we often had seventy Selectrics at a time
running and an ever changing staff of freelancers from the area coming in and
out to work as the number of jobs demanded.
Lots of writers who were working on screenplays and actors, musicians-
other weirdos like me who don’t do well in regular employment- would flush out
their incomes by coming in to work a few hours a week with us. Today I am doing
pretty much the same job, turning interviews into transcripts, only now the work
comes in through email.
Best way for me to get to Studio Typing from 8608 Holloway was to climb a vacant lot to the top of the hill, then cross Sunset. Even in 1985 I had an aversion to driving a car. Holloway House apartments were infamous in the gay world of West Hollywood then, as it was also one of the cheapest places to live that still had some panache in town. As a result, along with gay men, most my neighbors were other older single females.
Years later when I'd see old neighbors from Holloway House and they realized I'd had a baby as a single mom at age 40, they'd ask, where did you even find a heterosexual man to get you pregnant.
I found one. He lived downstairs. He assured me we did not need birth control as he'd had a vasectomy then when I came up pregnant, he shrugged and said, "I lied, I lied about a lot of things." He was a Russian. Hmm.

Americans chose to believe purveyors of disinformation over sincere experts. They believed Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump instead of public health professionals and immunologists, they believed media celebrities getting paid seven figure salaries to read a script on Fox instead of scientists who dedicated their entire lives and moderately paid careers to trying to prevent illness and death.
It took decades to lay the groundwork for misinformation to have more credibility than persons whose
whole lives have been dedicated to the truth. It started in 1995 with the appearance
of Fox News in the lower 25 channels on cable news lineups, at a time when even
broadcasting executives did not know the potential of that positioning.
By the time Trump ran for office
and then the coronavirus hit USA, there were two to three generations of Americans who had spent
their entire lives listening to the disinformation, and believing it.
I still think this information warfare
attack on USA was carried out by same parties who sent guys to America to go to
flight school, then years later arranged for those select trained pilots to be
on those select airline flights on Nine-Eleven 2001.
What scares me most now is how easy it was to get Americans to believe an obvious anti American message, just by putting it on a TV network with lots of red white and blue set decoration. A certain kind of human was the target of the disinformation, persons who already were angry and ready to feel hatred towards their fellow countrymen. I have a feeling even the masterminds of this attack had no idea Americans would believe them so readily.
I'm repeating myself.
Past two years or longer, I've posted this same stuff here at City of Angels Blog. Now it's just a matter of time before the spreading virus kills lots more people around me and there is nothing i can do. But blog about it.
I can't even
get a letter to the editor published trying to point out what's going on* I have
no credentials, I'm not president of a non profit that specializes in any of the
fields being used to carry out this attack. I can't even get the people who run
my HUD building to realize the pandemic isn't over, which is the current sound
byte of the attackers, spreading while hospital beds fill up with newly infected persons. Or my local city
council or county Board of Directors.
In my building are signs saying
"Come July 22 to our Quarantine Free Barbecue" which promises to be a not so super virus spreading event, much like the recent Bingo Party in the lobby. At a Coffee with the Mayor in my town last week at the library so many people showed up they were shoulder to shoulder in a
crowded room, and pictures show no one was wearing a mask.
So it's only a matter of time
before the whole state of California does what L.A. County is doing now, going back
to mask mandates, after more people get sick and die and our medical infrastructure
falls apart like it did as the virus first took hold in 2020. And patriots will once again shout that public health is tyranny.
All I can do is stay to myself and
take care of me, continue to avoid
public areas of my building except in the middle of the night, telling anyone who
questions me that my allergies are so bad I'm staying inside, which is in some
ways true. Not completely, but it's a convenient way to keep the snarky
misinformed from getting in my face to tell me sound bytes they heard on hate
radio.
This is so much bigger than I am.
Once the purveyors of weaponized disinformation saw how well this attack was going
they branched out. At one point all the radio stations got purchased by Clear
Channel and programmed with the "patriot" messaging. By the time Trump
was in office, they got really brave, as now the person who is known as most
powerful man in Earth was re-broadcasting their message from the White House.
It should surprise me that people
bought into 4chan and QAnon as the message of hate they neighbor, arm yourself for
a battle, and believe that mask wearing in a time of pandemic is a Communist
Marxist tyrannical plot. But by 2017 the
attackers had their tin soldiers in line and ready. So MT Greene could look
into a camera with a face awash in the glory of conspiracy and say, "Q is right. No one knows who he is but Q is right,"
and get elected to Congress.
All I can do is stay to myself and
ride this out. And write an occasional blog post to get rid of the arguments going
round in my head. It does no good to try to explain to a neighbor one-on-one or
even post comments on news articles and social media posts that are spreading the
disinformation.
I just have to ride this out.
My technique to keep this from driving
me to self destruction is to use my imagination. I pretend I'm on a looong
space trip, when I look outside I'm watching the terrain of strange locations in
space where the atmosphere is too hostile for me to go into it. I have lots of
supplies, more get delivered in a way that I can leave the boxes in the lobby
until night time when I can gather them up when no one is around. I tell myself
I trained for years in advance so am capable of surviving this isolation for as
long as it takes.
USA is under attack by
information warfare. Bombs of lies fill our media landscape, creating
misinformed angry mobs, from Jan 6 in D.C. to local Boards of Supervisors.
Slowly they're destroying USA from within, one anti science anti democracy
policy at a time.
I think same people who flew airplanes into
our buildings on 9/11/2001 are conducting this new unconventional warfare on
USA, sending mesmerizing lies through our TV sets and phones, and until
Americans realize this is an attack and stop it at its core, the damage will
continue.
My home is my bomb shelter where I ride out
this strange war, not just avoiding infection from covid which is still
spreading thanks to disinformation, I'm also hiding from brainwashed neighbors
who believe the lies and are being empowered by hate messaging while acquiring
weapons.
I'm angry at politicians who are dithering
over commissions and filibusters and not dealing with the problem at its core.
We need to stop the anti American weaponized disinformation, which is very sophisticated
and effective. What kind of a nation allows a thing like QAnon to even exist?
Someone in power has to call it what it is,
information warfare. Nancy Pelosi's Jan 6 commission will likely be as
effective as the last two impeachments. Nothing will get better until we
realize enemies of USA are using a misread of our own 1st and 2nd Amendments to kill us.

My apartment is my bomb shelter, where I'll ride out this war, not just avoiding infection from covid that's spreading uncontrolled in my region thanks to disinformation, but I'm also hiding from the brainwashed zombies who believe the lies and are being empowered by hate messaging and acquiring weapons. Some of the zombies live right up the hall from me, so I don't even pick up my mail until the middle of the night. I'm also staying off social media as much as I can as when I post and comment, I open myself up for attack by snarky disinformed responders.
I'm angry right now at politicians who are dithering over "commissions" and filibusters and not dealing with the problem at its core. The people in power need to stop the disinformation, which is very sophisticated and effective. I think same people who flew airplanes into our buildings on 9/11/2001 are conducting this new unconventional warfare sending lies through our TV sets, and until Americans realize this is an attack and stop it at its core, it will continue.
Nothing is going to change until we stop the disinformation: unplug the likes of Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson. What kind of a nation allows a thing like QAnon to even exist?
For now, I'm going to stay quiet and try to keep a low profile, but someone in power has to deal with this as what it is, information warfare. Nancy P's Jan 6 commission will likely be as effective as the last two impeachments. Nothing will get better until we realize enemies of USA are taking advantage of our 1st and 2nd amendments to kill us.
At least my bomb shelter is well stocked, UPS brings supplies within days after I order them, I have piles of books and plenty of video, and Instacart brings food and booze. I'll survive. Peace out…

"It's starting." Key characters in two Michael Lewis books say "It's starting" at pivotal moments. Both The Big Short and Premonition are true stories of very smart people who can see calamity coming while most the population is dancing a Charleston in denial, so to speak. In Big Short, Michael Burry says "It's starting" as the mortgage bubble is about to break in 2007 while investors keep betting on housing loans, and in Premonition, Charity Dean says "It's starting" as the covid virus is about to spread out of control while government scientists appear on TV saying, "It's okay to go dancing." Both books are true and feature key characters who can see what is happening before other people, not because they have mystical powers, but because they have autistic type brains that latch onto a topic and learn it so thoroughly they sound like prophets. "It's starting" is what I've been mumbling to my laptop as I read and sleep and do little else while the Big Heat of 2021 starts to take humans into the climate catastrophe that's been predicted and denied since the 1970s. As I absorb information as only a speed reader on the spectrum can and watch Americans dance a Charleston as wildlife washes up dead on banks and environmental managers wonder where the water went, I wish I'd meet the other seers out there; because realizing what's "starting" alone in a room in a strange town is, well, lonely. I keep having dreams where I'm somewhere different and surrounded by really smart people who also know what's coming, but I don't think we're on Earth anymore, so hope the dreams are prophetic. I also hope the likes of Michael Lewis and Charity Dean and Michael Burry will be there too.

Nothing will get better until we stop disinformation at the source. Our enemies are taking advantage of the First Amendment in USA. They know no matter what, we will allow them to continue to flood our airwaves with anti American information warfare. No amount of reasoning works on people who have been brainwashed until you undo the brainwashing. SHAME ON USA for allowing this to happen, we should have stopped Fox News as soon as this started. Now it's branched into radio, dark websites. They are empowered now, and until we deal with this as warfare, an attack using information as weapons against us, nothing will change. I cannot even LISTEN anymore as progressives talk about filibusters and dither along trying to reach out to persons who have bought into a narrative designed to destroy USA. We Have To Attack Back. Somehow. Since Russia and Saudis Hate Democracy, I can only surmise that they are behind this, and as progressives babble about "reconciliation" they are laughing at us.

In the case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) – a disease caused by a beta coronavirus, like the current coronavirus – researchers first identified the virus in February 2003. Later that year, scientists discovered the likely intermediary hosts: Himalayan palm civets found at live-animal markets in Guangdong, China. But it wasn’t until 2017 that researchers traced the likely original source of the virus to bat caves in China’s Yunnan province. https://ap news.com/article/investigation-covid-origins-wuhan-lab-nature-850b7a6ee1005596bb0f8b2bc6b79dd5

Since 2007 I've been a cheerleader for Amazon, mostly because when I was in college in the 1970s I was a member of The Austin Video Users Club, a group of computer geeks and futurists. We knew a major transformation was coming as people started communicating with each other globally, but we didn't know it would be by computers. We thought the revolution would come in some form of home video. An article I wrote for a local paper got the headline "Soon you will talk back to your TV set." We hadn’t predicted the home computer, but we knew people would shop, get entertainment, and communicate personally over some form of what we now call the internet. In 1995 I got my first home computer and immediately signed on to AOL and started finding people with whom I have things in common.
So when I first saw Amazon, I was excited, thinking it was the culmination
of all the predictions, and for a time it was. In 2007 I became a regular customer, first with books,
then Amazon started offering household and kitchen items just as transporting
around town became more difficult and stores became nerve-wrackingly crowded. Since 2007 every chance I got, I sang
praises of Jeff Bezos, "He deserves every dollar he makes," I'd say
and mean it. Because Amazon really filled a need, the 2-day prime delivery was
reliable, and the TV shows and movies… wow.
But in last few years things have changed. With the covid pandemic
I understood delayed delivery, but wonder why they keep advertising 2-day delivery when they
aren’t doing it, and the pandemic has gone on more than a year, why can't they figure things out by now. For a year Amazon has had an awful policy of combining six - eight
items into one box, holding back delivery until they can fill a massive box
with huge items instead of separating them, even when I go to great lengths
to order items separately, because I'm 73 years old, I don't want to lug huge
heavy boxes to my door from the mailbox.
Then Amazon customer service went downhill. Another thing I used
to praise about Amazon was their no questions asked refunding policy. Now when there's a problem and I
contact the bot with a human name for "live chat," I get argued with,
told it's my fault the glass bottle of soy sauce bumped up against other items in the box
and spilled on everything, until I argue and argue and finally get a human.
Then came the final straw. I needed help sleeping so ordered Melatonin on Amazon, feeling safe as there was a big PR push recently that no more products from China would be sold there. The Nature's Bounty OTC medicine arrived (after about a week, jammed in a box with other stuff) and I took one pill for 3 nights and ended up with a horrible fungal infection in half a dozen places on my body, spreading aggressively. Obviously the medicine was impure, I did some research and it turns out Nature's Bounty was purchased by The Bountiful Company in China in January 2021, so likely the ingredients of the pills I was taking were toxic, not fresh, something caused this horrible reaction.
The Medicine Comes From China.
I contacted Amazon and told them about this shocking allergic reaction I was having and nobody cared. They just offered to refund me the whopping 12 dollars. However, you can go to Melatonin on their site and read the reviews, mine included, where dozens of persons are having horrible reactions to Nature's Bounty melatonin from Amazon.
Yet it's still on sale there, even at a marked down
price to promote more sales.
The experience of shopping at Amazon went from wonderful to
awful in less than a year.
Meanwhile Target has everything I need, the rest can be found at Instacart. ***
I hate watching Bezos fall, but he dropped the ball. He went from hero to just another rich guy who is clueless about the effect he's having on the world.
The last box I got from Amazon had three cartons of tomato
sauce that were so squashed up some of it spilled onto other items. The "breathable
cotton" head scarves I bought were the same cheap Chinese
"satin" as the last ones I bought and cannot wear as they make my
head sweat and so are very uncomfortable.
I accidentally ordered two Utz potato sticks and within minutes went to "my orders" trying to cancel one but the site would not let me, so I ended up
with two of them, crammed into that one big box.
I am looking now for other online places to shop, using
PayPal, which Amazon won't let me do, and totally enjoying the experience, because
these retailers Want My Business and seem to care, like Amazon used to care.
Goodbye, Jeff, I no longer want to contribute to your billionaire
status and really wonder how any human being can take all that money, and see all the homeless people
and whole nations that can't even vaccinate their populations, and use your
cash to buy a yacht to service your other yacht. You could write a check and
build apartments for every homeless person in USA but instead you want to send
rockets into space?

How did the bats get covid to begin with? I believe when the origins of covid are finally investigated, they will find it came from melting glacier waters from global warming. AND there will likely be more new (novel) viruses as Earth keeps heating.

In America, when Facebook started in '04 and Twitter in '06 we embraced them with abandon. In Russia they saw it as a wonderful way to
attack us. Imagine, a roomful of KGB guys, all military officers. Instead of the rigors of
war on the ground, they're in a comfortable office. All they have to do is surf the internet
using their trained English skills and go to Washington Post,
Alternet, all over the world. Open an account, create a profile, and start
commenting.
 |
| St. Petersburg, Russia |
Hillary
Clinton used the words "information warfare" while she was Secretary
of State.
Since
2013 I've seen the Russian footprint all over the internet. I read a lot and so have learned- especially in
Malcolm Nance books but several others since then- that around 2013, several Russian intelligence agents
moved into a brick building in St. Petersburg and started posting comments on
news stories in USA. I noticed the
arrival of the 'bots, as I read a lot online. As soon as an article showed up on a news site, the comments would fill
up with right wing knee-jerk reactions. Dozens of them. I'd wonder, could there really be this many people
who believe this? Either they are all unemployed or someone is paying them.
The anti-American
tenor underlying these messages was shocking and more obvious on Fox News, Twitter, and Facebook. Once
they saw how easy it is to get Americans to believe things that are not true, that
contradict our own history and Constitution, the intelligence operation got
more brazen. One America Network, 4chan, QAnon Comes out of nowhere without identifying its author and Americans believe it. It's astounding that we've allowed it to get this bad. This intelligence operation
included a deep reading of our own laws, finding ways to use them against us. Because of our First Amendment, we allowed
this brazen attack to continue, and become more brazen.
Brazen
brazen brazen. This week the Opposite World News reports the January sixth attack
was little more than tourists passing through the D.C. Capitol.
Since 2013
it's gotten so much worse. We're at the point
that mainstream media are finally pointing out, "the Big Lie" we even
have a sound byte for it. The Big Lie, they even say it on Morning Joe.
I'm waiting
for someone to point out: No one expected them to fly airplanes into our buildings
either.
Information
warfare got Donald Trump elected, he then prepared the way for environmental collapse,
he started a Rwandan 1994 radio messaging campaign to turn half of America against
the other half, and then the environmentally dying Earth produced Covid 19, with more new viruses to come as the planet heats…. Convenient,
exactly the kind of event the disinformation laid the groundwork for. A mutated media machinery
convinced half of America to be anti-mask and help spread a killer virus.
Now we have
character assassination at a level I haven’t seen since the beginning of the USSR
in early 1950s. Of course, one of the first victims would be Liz Cheney, daughter of Dick.
