The Playbook: How to Completely Ostracize Any Person
Tweet by Holden Culotta, which sets out the playbook for how the elites, those people George Carlin would say are in "The Big Club," are able to socially destroy any person, even good-hearted people who have ideas we desperately need. Video below:
Take 2 minutes to hear an ex-Hillary Clinton insider EXPOSE how Big Pharma/MSM silence their critics.“Big corporations hire people like me to implement THE PLAYBOOK … ”
It’s used against Elon Musk. Joe Rogan. Tulsi Gabbard. RFK Jr.
Here’s how THE PLAYBOOK works.
Step 1: Attack them broadly, question their facts.
Step 2: Assassinate their character.
Step 3: Call them an antisemite or a racist.
Step 4: Call them crazy. Cook. Crank. Nut job.
Craving Make Believe
Most people are too scared to consider the enormity of the real problem we face. Even though most of the big stories of the day don't add up, big flocks of people keep coming back for more. And they are even more desperate to believe each next big thing that won't add up.
J.K. Rowling: The Rewriting of Transgender History
Where are we on now along the historical record of transgender ideology? Before I go further, I want to state my view that every adult has the right to do anything they want with their own body and that everyone should be treated with kindness, even if they present themselves as the opposite sex. J.K. Rowling notes that real conversations are starting to happen with more frequency and this is a good thing:
The rewriting of history begins.Opponents of gender ideology haven't merely 'endured unsparing criticism'. I haven't simply been told I 'betrayed real feminism' or received a few book-burning videos.
I've been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans woman posted my family's home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman. I could write a twenty thousand word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we've endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others.
By standing up to a movement that relies on threats of violence, ostracisation and guilt-by-association, all of us have been smeared and defamed, but many have lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. Female politicians have been forced to hire personal security on the advice of police. The news that one of the UK's leading endocrinologists, Dr Hillary Cass, was advised not to travel by public transport for her own safety should shame everyone who let this insanity run amok.
Lest we forget, gender apostates have been targeted for crimes such as doubting the evidential basis for transitioning children, for arguing for fair sport for women and girls, for wanting to retain single sex spaces and services, especially for the most vulnerable, and for thinking it barbaric to lock in female prisoners with convicted male sex offenders.
Now the political landscape has shifted, and some who've been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover. They've started wondering whether calling left-wing feminists who wanted all-female rape centres 'Nazis' was such a smart strategy. Maybe parents arguing that boys ought not to be robbing their daughters of sporting opportunities might, sort of, have a point? Possibly letting any man who says 'I'm a woman' into the locker room with twelve-year-old girls could have a downside, after all?
Mealy-mouthed retconning of what has actually happened over the past ten years is predictable but will not stand. I don't doubt those who've turned a blind eye to the purges of non-believers, or even applauded and encouraged them, would rather minimise what the true cost of speaking out was, but 'yes, maybe trans activists went a little over the top at times' takes are frankly insulting. A full reckoning on the effects of gender ideology on individuals, society and politics is still a long way off, but I know this: the receipts will make very ugly reading when that time comes, and there are far too many of them to sweep politely under the carpet.
Why the Elites Are Panicking Over Free Speech
Why are the Elites freaking out over free speech? In a mass-email to subscribers, Catherine Herridge explains:
The new super consumers of news are flocking to X and other platforms that support independent journalism, diverse voices, and embrace transparency which can strengthen democracy. This is nothing short of an industrial revolution driven both by technology and by loss of trust in corporate media. In 2023, Human Rights lawyer Jacob Mchangama wrote about the upheaval and resulting, 'elite panic.
Elite panic is this recurring phenomenon throughout the history of free speech, where whenever the public sphere is expanded, either through new communications technology, or to segments of the population that were previously marginalized, the traditional gatekeepers, the elites who control access to information, tend to fret about the dangers of allowing the unwashed mob — who are too fickle, too unsophisticated, too unlearned — unmediated access to information. They need information to be filtered through the responsible gatekeepers and it may be even more dangerous to allow them to speak without adult supervision. That's a phenomenon that we see again and again. And we're seeing it play out now on social media. … [Elite panic is] one contributing factor to the free speech recession.
