"You didn't 'guess' anything. You had a lady asking me what my belief was."

How 'Project 2025' could change Medicare would be an interesting topic for discussion, if Project 2025 was Trump's program, and not 'Agenda 47.' As it stands, how Project 2025 is being used to warp minds - by the Democrats - is an even more powerful and fascinating subject to talk about.
I tried having an online conversation with Professor Edzard Ernst MD, PhD, MAE, FMedSci, FRSB, FRCP, FRCPEd (above, a german living in France) about what he mis-labeled 'Project 2025: Donald Trump’s blueprint for a fascist America,' but, as you can see in the comments, I didn't go well - with, either, him or the other commenters: The power of Democrat party propaganda was just too strong.
Even knowing Project 2025 is the product of the Heritage Foundation, and Trump already rejected it as 'ridiculous' - and that "the Democratic National Committee is rolling out a media blitz connecting him to it" - they refused to believe, or were unable to grasp, that the Democrats were toying with them, Trump had his own program, and fascism was most definitely not coming to America.
I thought about Professor Ernst again, today, and the level of hysteria Democrat party propaganda whips up, world-wide, as I listened to Glenn Greenwald (a gay Jewish man, living in Brazil, but one of America's best investigative reporters) casually describing the perils of a new Trump administration, with no alarm in his voice or manner whatsoever - and not one word about Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation, or fascism - while a full-on professor, with all those credentials behind his name, loses his fucking mind in FrogLand. That's scary.
To be fair, since our ugly interaction, Ernst has also written a post on JD Vance, who, I'm pretty sure, he misinterprets, just as badly as he does Trump and Project 2025 - because (in what, I think, should be completely out of character for a scientist) he relies on kooky-ass MSNBC to 'inform' him.
I didn't bother to read the new post. Based on our interaction, I think, since the attempted murder of Trump, Ernest may be showing the same signs of mental slippage as Joe Biden now. At 76, the "outspoken professor of complementary medicine" has grown cranky and unable to be reasoned with, nor does he even bother to reason: He just calls people names, and throws out casual insults as a defense. Think Donald Trump, but without even half the wit or charm.
BTW - If anyone wants to talk seriously about the very-real dark threats coming America's way, "in this extended, wide-ranging interview, Jimmy Dore and Unlimited Hangout contributing editor and One Nation Under Blackmail author Whitney Webb discuss whether Trump’s VP pick JD Vance is a puppet of billionaire Peter Thiel, the real reason Elon Musk purchased Twitter, how the dystopian future of policing in the film Minority Report is becoming a reality,..." Check it out. They're not ready for hospice yet.
'Professor Norman Finkelstein breaks down some of the key background that’s essential to understanding what led Israel and the Palestinians into conflict. Guest host Craig Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss with Professor Finkelstein whether it’s accurate to describe Gaza as an “open air prison.”'
I was going to do a post about how the 1990’s term “woke” is being used incorrectly in the NewAge, but thought it more informative to first mention what it means to be “canceled” by the movement. Many might be under the impression it just adds up to someone famous getting heckled. Or shouted down on Twitter (X). But, you don’t have to be famous. And, if you’re not, the consequences can go much, much farther, and cut much, much deeper, than anyone famous ever imagined. I've already mentioned one job I lost over astrology at a hospital, and another I had to walk away from (at a car dealership) over the 2012 Mayan calendar phenomena. How important is your job to you? Or, if they were just normal people - not rich and famous celebrities - I wonder how well Dave Chappelle would handle his wife leaving him for someone worse than Dr. Oz, and everybody being really, really excited about it? Walk with me:
We should've all had a good laugh at the idea Hillary Clinton thinks we miss her after she brought psychics in the White House. Or, as First Lady, established the fever-brained, post-60’s, modern day conception of a "vast" (non-existent) "conspiracy" in American politics, conveniently involving (wouldn’t you know it?) the American right-wing, and then Russia, just when she needs them. And - I have to mention it - she's married to a man who, three very good journalists confirmed, is a one-time but, may be a three-time, rapist. He also just happened to be the guy who established the fraud of “alternative” medicines (which got the whole anti-vaccine ball rolling….). I say all this, to submit to you, that - just like with the kinky Biden family or when Obama decided to campaign with Oprah and the media didn't say anything about Shirley MacLaine or fraud - in any “village” run by these strange people, and their supporters, there were, have been, are, and will be, the wrongly persecuted. That's what this combination came to in Nazi Germany, and that's what it means in the NewAge.
An aside: when the Clintons revealed themselves, Hillary and her husband were studying "The Theory of Everything" under the cult leader, Ken Wilber. He was with Marc Gafni, the former "spiritual advisor" to Whole Foods, who was later found to be a rapist of young girls. Ken Wilbur once explained that the reason why Marc Gafni raped was because he had a lot of "Shakthi". I assume Bill Clinton, too, must have a lot of "Shakti", as did their friends, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. But I digress - I can do that when pondering the NewAge "scene" - back to what it means to be "canceled" by these people:
If you're in a Democrat party stronghold, it means you're doomed. In case you didn't notice, Hillary's supporters got pretty torn-up about not winning the 2016 election. More torn-up than America has ever seen Americans ever get, over anyone losing an election. Nervous breakdown. And these people now surround you, for years, demanding you agree Russia hoaxes are real (without evidence), homeopathy is medicine (without evidence), and all Republicans are evil monsters who must be destroyed (without evidence). That's the NewAge mindset, and no one's going to dig too deeply, to ask why. You're just supposed to play along - or else. It's a recipe for conflict. I've seen Doctors who think spreading Trump hatred is just good bedside manners.
Take this photo of Yours Truly with Justine Gilcrease, at Justine's Brasserie in Austin, Texas. This was years before Donald Trump ever even thought of becoming president. Having known Justine since she was 16, she invited me to Austin for a visit, and wanted to document my arrival with a picture. Unbeknownst to me, by the time this was snapped, she had already told, what seemed like her entire staff - filled mostly with angry women - something I had no reason to tell anyone, beyond a close friend:
I had left the Democrat party.
That was pretty much the beginning to the end of my friendship with Justine. I won't go into the details, but that visit was punctuated by unknown women, coming up to me and screeching about their reproductive rights, a dinner party argument over the efficacy of homeopathy for use on newborns, and sticking me with some psychotic black woman (who supposedly had stolen from the restaurant) for no other reason than I was the only other black person around on an outing. Oh, and I've been downgraded in Justine's eyes from a "great artist" she's known for decades to, apparently, less than an on-call DJ she can hardly bear to speak to.
My point being: this is how Hillary supporters were acting before Trump.
And the left have been ramping themselves up to complete insanity for quite a while: I lost one friend (whose business mentions his "Third Eye" in its title) for merely saying the name "Clinton" before 7 AM. Another over his insistence that Google's A.I. is now God-like (I wasn't given the option to disagree). I had to stop playing music with a fellow recording artist because he refused to refrain from talking about astrology. And, over the years, I'd also lost my wife to a homeopath (something that isn't supposed to be scientifically possible) a job with Hyatt Hotels over words being violence, and - as you can see illustrated above - my right to free speech, on Facebook, over my keen propensity for spreading smut.
How is anyone supposed to live, much less work, walking on eggshells like this? That's what being canceled becomes. Tell me anything, listed above, that I could've known, beforehand, would've gotten anyone in trouble. Words are violence? Which words? Where are they posted? I'd never heard of a homeopath before my French wife ran away with the one who was treating her mother when she died. (Most of our friends thought she'd run away with a Doctor until France admitted he was a quack in 2019. Imagine losing a debate, with an entire French village, over whether their local physician is real - and you're right the whole time - but they get to dismiss and belittle you, in part because you're an American, and in part because your wife has run away with the fraud. Think of the implications. Think of the humiliation for all around. "It takes a village" to be a fool, too). I always assumed I could be in any political party I wanted.
Most people, including most Americans, know their "star sign" better than the three branches of government, so there goes any chance for a meaningful political conversation in a café, or the expectation for a reasonable anything, almost anywhere. Jimmy Dore now thinks it's brave to interview AIDS maven, Marianne Williamson, AKA Oprah's former "spiritual advisor", and a woman who translated the Bible for the NewAge movement. I'm horrified, coming right after Dr. Oz - the quack Oprah turned into "America's Doctor" - tried to gain power by running for the U.S. Senate. And that, after Oprah campaigned with Obama, which should've given everyone pause: Why was Obama, of all people, running with someone who said "The Secret" was science, and why was the media not acting like it? How did Obama give the U.S. Medal of Freedom - America's highest civilian honor - to someone who would say such a thing? Asking will get you identified as someone who needs to be canceled. And asking Kamala Harris how she found herself dating Montel Williams will not only get you canceled, but might even get you killed: He's in the NewAge movement and a Marine.
You can't mention it was three years before we discovered Harvey Milk stole his election, after Hillary and the Democrats have demanded the benefit of the doubt, regarding their party and stolen elections. That can get you canceled. Pointing out Harvey Milk - also a Marine - was an early Jussie Smollett, who got bombs and blew up his own camera shop before blaming heterosexuals for it to gain sympathy for his political campaign, can also get you canceled. Exposing the fact Harvey Milk manipulated Jimmy Carter to help kidnap a child for the cult leader, Jim Jones, will also get you canceled. By Sean Penn, at least. Because that changes who Harvey Milk was, and thus, how U.S. history is unfolding, all the way up to the "Barbie" movie. And it's all a lie.
Basically, once the NewAge started demanding we live their lies, we could expect to be canceled. And my experience says,. on the ground-level, they'll get you in every way possible.
Final aside: You rarely hear the Jefferson Starship’s 1985 hit “We Built This City” in San Francisco anymore. Which is fitting, because A) that song has always sucked anal biscuits, and B) they probably no longer want to take responsibility for everybody dropping acid to chase white rabbits and mice and shit.
