I couldn't agree with you more Comrade Cindy. As socialists, we reject liberalism, as well as conservatism, and all capitalist imperialist ideologies. We reject narrative and censorship in favor of freedom and truth. Generally, democracy is the highest stage of socialism, and we are, as such, for free speech, even for those we disagree with. Synthetic shitlibs are not for free speech, just like the old McCarthyists were not for free speech.

Regarding 9/11, I personally think it was an inside job to destroy the Middle East and our civil liberties. Liberals might oppose the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because a Republican President (Bush) started them, but they're all for the wars against Syria and Libya because a Democrat President (Obama) started those, , and with Trump, well, Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well among liberals and neo-cons, and any and all principles have gone out the window.

Regarding Covid-19, I fell for the fearmongering at first as you know, but that Comrade you were doing the YouTube video with, Dust James, brought me to my senses. Now I also think it was an inside job, I think, unless Comrade David Rolde is right and its all a hoax, it was manufactured by the CIA at Fort Detrick in Virginia to use as Cold War propaganda against China, to enrich Big Pharma and empower Big Tech while destroying the economy/people's jobs/small businesses. If it is real, I would be happy with universal healthcare/more medical teams to combat it, and otherwise, let people be free, we're social beings FFS. And why isn't this considered a social justice issue by the left? I have my own Covid-19 story, actually, I was in high school in March 2020, I was about to ask a girl out, she was really cute, I finally got the courage to do it, and then Newscum locked everything down, and I had to finish high school online. My mental health declined significantly, and I could name several examples of how. I know I'm not nearly the only one.

The ruling class in both cases, want to scare us into submission to totalitarianism in the name of "national security" in order to enrich their major industry and global elites, to further their empire and fascist controls over us. They do not have our interests in mind. Communist revolution!

This one rang a bell with me, especially about being able to agree on some things, but maybe not everything. I am one hundred percent with you on the evils of militarism (and other forms of violence), but not the COVID thing. (As soon as I could, I had myself vaccinated and will get any other vaccines that come down the pike.) As you wrote, that fact that we don't agree on EVERYTHING should never be reflected on the beliefs we share. I respect your views on COVID and I'm pretty sure you respect mine and it's so refreshing to realize that. Thanks, Cindy.

Hear hear. Like Carlin said, “it’s a big club and we’re not in it.” “Orange Crush,” got a BIG laugh outta me; the Democrats are so boring and yesterday. Now that Tulsi hosted Tucker’s show it’s going to be more hoopla from the war Party, I mean lefties. Good commentary!

I was 17 when the British declared war on Argentina, for a chunk of rock 8000 miles from home. Young, I was sucked into the propaganda of "Get those Argie's".

Not much more than a year later, I watched a documentary called "Simon's War" about a soldier (Simon Weston) who had suffered horrific burns when the HMS Sir Galahad was sunk. I felt sick and ashamed. My overwhelming thought was "what he went through alone, did not justify the war. Let alone all the other death and misery". For the price of being disfigured, Simon & others who also suffered obvious physical trauma, were prohibited from the national victory 'celebrations'.

This pales into insignificance compared to your story Cindy. I am though pleased to have at last 'woken up' reasonably early in life.

I think, for me, the tear came from shock. My so called "left leaning friends" were fine with Obama's wars. Even though they hated the Orange One, they were cool with Venezuela and Bolivia, saying things like, "well, Maduro can't run a country," or "well, Morales ran Bolivia for 14 years, it was time." I blew up, ungraciously. To me, that was supporting murder and colonialism. At the time, Angela Merkel had run Germany, 15 years. Why wasn't it "her time to go?" I can't be around those ghouls. They lap up peer pressure with an 8th graders enthusiasm.

Cindy... how about the freedom to think and write independently, thus an independent... I comment when I’m “moved”... reading along I thought, geez some butterfly effect is fluttering my thoughts to your keypad... an essay I could have written, only probably by now, also growing up with Viet Nam, my words may have been stronger. I’d add growing up, actually an unexpected waking up with the loud speaker announcement “president Kennedy is dead, shot in Dallas Tx about an hour ago.” Then, another stark memory just a few years later of a HS senior announced over the loud speaker “died in action” froze that moment in time for a lot of us maturing teens. Two years later I was at Kent State May 4th 1970... most of us were peaceful, sitting on the grass outside of one of the dorms, far from a few radicals calling out the unconstitutional involvement in foreign wars with loud speakers several buildings away.... hearing the shots fired froze that moment in time for a lot of us still maturing teens.... then there was complete and utter shock hearing what happened just a few grassy knolls away that forever locked that wake up moment for a lot of us. More waking than those mind blowing stomach turning realities, that four of our college age innocently attending “stop the war” rally goers just like me were shot dead... were the words of Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes on the nightly news ended any trust in government... period... done... frozen in time. Students are Militant revolutionaries?!? Worse than brown shirts?!? The startling reality of waking up with such incomprehensible coming of age events is the evolving ability to recognize bovine piles of manure spewing from media talking heads... the next unconscionable pile of bovine manure.... 9/11.... I could not conceive the vast majority of rational thinking human beings falling for a half million tons of steel, concrete and glass, 110 stories of massively connected steel trusses built to withstand natural disasters was destroyed by fire in under 1 hour and fell in 11 seconds free fall.... that’s a tall pile of bovine manure to swallow... and the people ate two 110 story high piles. Many still believe the official narrative. So enter reports of Wuhan, a fear campaign claiming a virus as bad as the 1918 Spanish Flu, “millions are going to die” March 11 2020 lockdowns announced... oh no you don’t, not ever in the history of medicine has a healthy population ever been quarantined... global!?!?! Not only did I recognize a Rockefeller’s 2010 lockstep scenario and Agenda 21 literally being put in action... a coup, an occupation of our country was taking place. The icing on the cake? When has a presidential election EVER in the history of our founding fathers been STOPPED, halted in every State on election night at 7:30 CST pm!?!?!? NEVER! Forced jabs or loose your job another never in medical history pile of bovine manure so foul I just still can’t believe people ate it up by the spoonfuls and still have no clue SADS is as invented as SIDS but they haven’t connected the dots even with the CDC reversing their incomprehensible BS! Ok, yes Cindy Sheehan your independent essay moved me, and wow did I comment. I’m so “knowing fatigued” from waking up since 11-22-1963... May 4, 1970... Watergate, Iraq WMD lies, election fraud 2021, the Afghanistan pull out debacle, MEDIA OFFICIAL NARRATIVE ONLY CENSORSHIP, the continued obvious government supported pharmaceutical genocide ongoing.... when, tell me... are people ever going to wake up from their government fed cognitive dissonance? I’m so tired... aren’t you.... of these piles of bovine manure swallowed ever so eagerly by the mass psychosis reality of humanity.

I’d rather keep the company of truth than surround myself with flawed men.

The Jews killed their own prophets for telling the truth.
