C&C MORNING MONOLOGUE

🪖🪖 For my devoted C&C followers, I am exposing a deep C&C secret. Meet one of my post-pandemic philosophies, which for lack of a better name, I call the “Lizard People Doctrine,” with a related Lizard People Fallacy. Yesterday, a few C&Cers were triggered by my geoengineering story, which included Senator Massie’s bland tweet about seeing some weird cloud formations. As a reminder:

What triggered some folks was Massie’s indirect invocation of chemtrails, referring to harmful geoengineering experiments allegedly carpeting cheerful blue skies with depressing gray sludge. Chemtrails are a popular darling of anti-“conspiracy theory” fanatics, who falsely conflate the clear concern about harmful, experimental chemical dispersants with the unremarkable phenomenon of contrails, which are ordinary, harmless frozen water vapor,  a byproduct of superhot jet engine exhaust.

There’s a disconnect. Misinformation warriors — sometimes unintentionally — fallaciously strawman the chemtrail theory as being just more dumb, MAGA conspiracy theory, uneducated people misunderstanding that what they’re seeing is really just water vapor (contrails) instead of geoengineering chemicals. The dumb hicks — like Senator Massie and Jeff Childers (according to some commenters) — are deeply confused.

But chemtrail spotters are not confused. They know all about contrails. They just don’t think what they see filling the skies are contrails.

And so the argument remains locked in a bitter dispute over the cause of rare cloud shapes, which have become common. That argument completely misses the point. And according to my Lizard People Doctrine (LPD), that doesn’t matter.Under LPD, we see that the chemtrails cock-up is a distraction from the truth, a distraction that nobody should fall for.

Let’s start with the wild Lizard People conspiracy theory, in case you aren’t familiar.

The “lizard people” conspiracy theory is a “fringe” belief that shape-shifting reptilian aliens secretly control Earth, by disguising themselves as political leaders, celebrities, royal persons, bank managers, and other influential figures. According to the theory’s believers, these ancient, alien shapeshifting lizards can alter their appearance to look human, but occasionally “glitch out” and reveal their true form. Here, for example, is Stew Peters:

Here’s another terrific example that provides a perfect frame for explaining the Lizard Person Doctrine. In this TikTok, a commenter reacts to Chuck Schumer’s idiotic tweet last week, where he was trying to be relatable and folksy, grilling out, but inexplicably put a piece of cheese on a raw hamburger. Has Chuck everused a grill before?

CLIP: Chuck Schumer, barbequing lizard person (1:06).

Here’s a transcript of the TikTok’s laughing narrator, edited for brevity and clarity. Note her final few words:

You know, so often, I feel like our legislative overlords, some of ‘em, are lizard people. This is so … people pretending to be normal. You can see these are frozen patties, put on the grill, not a little bit of seasoning. People are noting that he just put cheese on a raw, frozen burger. People are eating him up about it. No surprise that he just decided to delete the file off Twitter, it’s gone, he just took the ‘L’, man.

This is funny, and disgusting. They’re not like us, bro, they’re not like us at all.

And there it is, the core of truth lying at the herpetological heart of the Lizard People conspiracy theory: Normal folks who hew to the widely-mocked theory lack the vocabulary to describe the reality of they are seeing. So they substitute a perfect metaphor for that reality instead. In other words, Chuck Schumer might not actually have alligator DNA, but he is an allegorical lizard person.

It’s true that the global elites have incomprehensible, inhuman, alien values and ethics. They aren’t like us, not at all. They are unsympathetically cold-blooded, like lizards. They hide among us like shape-shifters, trying to act normal. They glitch out sometimes and put cheese on a frozen hamburger patty. They are dangerous, like snakes. They (figuratively?) want to eat us alive and want to lock us normal humans in 15-minute zoos.

See? The elites are accurately described as lizard people.

The real, necessary conversation about the alienation of the governed from the unhuman creatures purporting to govern us has been disguised in a smokescreen of controversy bordering on ridicule about people who are 100% right about the problem. Lizard people deniers want to focus only on what they see as a silly tinfoil hat theory — even if it is rooted in deep human history.

In all the noise of the elitist mockery about shapeshifting aliens, the vital conversation about the destructive, amoral, irreligious, and profane values of our so-called leaders slips right out the back door. That’s the Lizard People Doctrine. It’s the concept that so much of what is dismissively labeled as “conspiracy theory” is actually true, if not in particular, nevertheless true in a bigger, more important sense. But by labeling it a “conspiracy theory” critics skate away from having to recognize that the conspiracy theorists have a point.

Let’s try applying it to other so-called conspiracy theories. Take covid vaccines. When they were first released, a widely-believed “anti-vaxxer” conspiracy theory posited that the jabs contained harmful graphene oxide. Later, studies showed the shots were contaminated, to some degree, not necessarily with graphene but with harmful e-coli DNA fragments. And even the New York Times has finally admitted there are more unaddressed vaccine injuries than the establishment will concede.

So, the graphene oxide theorists were ultimately right. They were right in the sense the jabs were potentially contaminated and were more dangerous than the government’s “most tested vaccine in history” narrative suggested to all the naive people who took it not knowing about the real risks.

Now, let’s try the Lizard People Doctrine on chemtrails. Critics want to quibble about whether chemtrail theorists are confused about contrails. But that argument completely misses the point. It doesn’t matter whether ‘chemtrails’ are real. People are greatly disturbed about geoengineering, whether it comes in a chemtrail or is blasted off the deck of an aircraft carrier.

By understanding the Lizard People Doctrine, we can see that dismissing chemtrail theories as misunderstandings about contrails misses the more important point. The real issue is not the mechanism, it’s the public’s concerns over environmental manipulation, lack of transparency in science and government, and the potential for unintended consequences arising from large-scale tinkering with Earth’s weather systems.

Put differently, people’s concerns about chemtrails and geoengineering aren’t just silly misunderstandings. Instead, they reflect people’s correct awareness of the real issues related to scientific secrecy, unaccountability, and the disastrous potential of large-scale environmental manipulation. People see the media avoiding discussing these critical public health issues. Hence, it is in fact a conspiracy. A conspiracy of silence.

That’s the Lizard People Doctrine. And that’s why people who invoke chemtrails are right, regardless of whether they are looking at chemical byproducts or just vaporized ice crystals.

Finally, let me be clear about something. Just because I invoked the Lizard People Doctrine, it doesn’t mean that I disbelieve in chemtrails, or whether Chuck Schumer is really a disguised crocodile. I’m saying the argument over the truth or falsity of chemtrails is a red herring, a vaporous distraction.

The real discussion we should be having is whether “science” (i.e., its billionaire funders) and the government should stop secretly playing around with geoengineering before somebody gets hurt.

So whether you believe in chemtrails or not, don’t fall for the Lizard People fallacy. Don’t let the critics reframe the conversation narrowly to avoid grappling with the obvious risks of geoengineering writ large. It doesn’t matter whether it’s chemtrails or secretive aircraft carrier blowers. It’s wrong.

And, don’t write off the Lizard People theorists too quickly. They could be onto something.

WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY

🔥 This morning, the New York Times ran an unintentionally encouraging damage-control article, ostensibly about Europe’s great leap rightward, badly headlined “The Nation Resurgent, and Borders, Too.” The sub-headline explained, “In France, as in the United States, feelings harden against immigrants, and President Emmanuel Macron and President Biden take note.” (There you go, two lizard people right there.)

I don’t mean to sound cynical, but I do not think the article was really about France’s recent electoral earthquake, which resulted in President Macron dissolving his parliament in a fit of characteristic pique.

Instead, I think it signals a forthcoming narrative shift, in which President Biden’s border beliefs will “evolve,” and he will re-focus on the U.S.’s border problem, after having nourished that selfsame problem from birth. Behold this remarkable paragraph, wherein the Times finally discovers some conservatives who aren’t “far right:”

The Times’ stunning lack of self-awareness said ten times more than the article did. In other words, the Times inadvertently admitted Joe’s evolving border policies are not based on any deeply held convictions. They are just the result of practical politics.

This article was obviously written for democrats, to help soften the blow of Joe’s forthcoming tough talk about the borders. The Times wanted to reassure readers Joe doesn’t hate illegal border jumpers yearning to be free, like the Orange Guy. If there is one thing that democrat partisans will readily elevate over principle, it is politics. That is, whatever Joe needs to do is okay, it’s just fine, so long as it helps him win the election.

And how about how easy it was to re-define “far-right?” Abracadabra! That trick made some political space for Joe. Now it’s not “far-right” anymore to worry about the porous U.S. border, not even when Joe drastically reverses himself:

Carefully observe the final, sneaky sentence in that paragraph. Explaining “Mr. Biden’s decision” to readers isn’t journalism. That is excuse-making. The writer purported to speak for “many Americans” without quoting any one of us. It just is. Take the Times’ word for it.

That’s how they steer the narrative without readers noticing.

Joe, undeniably wobbly on a good day, is trying to steer the S.S. Biden through the middle of several tight political channels. One is the border issue. Another is the Israel issue. And I can’t help but notice how the Ukraine issue just doesn’t seem to come up as often these days, despite how critically important it was ten minutes ago to stop Putin, and save the world for democracy.

Can his handlers steer the leaky S.S. Biden into a safe political harbor without breaking apart in four-foot seas, like the doomed Gaza pier? Haha, a New York Times headline from earlier this week:

Dismantled. Who could possibly have seen that coming? Oh well. What’s four hundred million dollars between friends?

Maybe Joe Biden’s faux presidency will also be dismantled early. We can hope, can’t we?

😭😭 The AP ran another silly damage-control story Friday, which popped up throughout corporate media, headlined “Seeing is believing? Not necessarily when it comes to video clips of Biden and Trump.” In other words, don’t believe your lying eyes.

The AP is upset, very upset, that recent video clips of Joe Biden doing silly, unnatural things have been blowing up on social media.  Like when, at the D-Day celebration, Joe awkwardly hovered in a weird squat, not sitting, but not standing either, for several painful seconds until everyone else sat down.

Corporate media scraped up a few social media hot takes of random people who didn’t watch the whole clip and couldn’t see his chair, who laughed assuming that Joe was trying to sit down on an ‘invisible seat.’  Then the AP fussily ‘debunked’ those hot takes, ignoring the real issue: Joe obviously did not know whether to sit or stand and froze, brain-locked, somewhere in the middle.

The White House unveiled the new narrative, which will soon be its ridiculous answer to everything weird Joe does from here to the election. In the White House’s narrative, what you’re seeing isn’t a deep fake, since it really happened, it’s a cheap fake. Which, I think, is just supposed to mean its a video taken out of context, or maybe cropped to make Joe look dumb, as if Joe needed any help looking dumb.

Cough, cannibals, cough. And, cough, “you know, the thing.”

The Biden White House is a cheap fake.

🔥 Yesterday, the Hill ran a story about some help that President Trump does not need, headlined “Cuomo: Trump NY hush money case ‘should have never been brought’ forth.” Cuomo’s governorship should never have been brought forth, but I digress.

On Friday, disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo appeared on Bill Maher’s HBO show, making the obvious point that the most recent Trump Trial in New York was a sham. “If his name was not Donald Trump and if he wasn’t running for president… I’m the former AG of New York and I’m telling you that case would’ve never been brought,” Cuomo insisted.

Apparently, Coumo’s opinion was news earning an entire Hill story because Cuomo is a democrat, and democrats are supposed to toe the party line. It was a “dog bites democrat” story.

Cuomo next called Trump’s trial offensive and harmful to people’s trust in the justice system. “That’s what is offensive to people, and it should be, because if there’s anything left, it’s belief in the justice system,” the ex-governor added.

Finally, and worst of all, New York’s former democrat governor threw the worst possible insult at the Trump Trial: it’s threatening democracy. “And you want to talk about a threat to democracy: when you have this country believing you’re playing politics with the justice system and you’re trying to put people in jail or convict them for political reasons, then we have a real problem,” Cuomo assured Bill Maher.

Sadly, nobody’s listening to Andrew Cuomo anymore, ever since he somehow got sideways with woke New York Democrats and got a full dose of the “me too” treatment. Buh bye. Mysteriously, the experienced pol somehow thinks supporting Trump is a good career play. Maybe he’s angling for a spot in the incoming Trump Administration? I report, you decide.

🔥🔥 At the beginning of May, the House Judiciary Committee quietly released a new eight hundred page INTERIM report titled, “The Censorship-Industrial Complex: How Top Biden White House Officials Coerced Big Tech To Censor Americans, True Information, And Critics Of The Biden Administration.” It began by quoting a pandemic-era email from a British politician describing his desperate effort to explain the First Amendment to Biden’s Covid Czar, Andy Slavitt:

Sir Clegg tried to break through for an hour. You know you’re in trouble when the British are failing to explain free speech to the White House. Below is Andy, one of the many Obama-era officials plastered into Team Biden, the unseen architect of Obamacare and a “Senior Advisor” on Biden’s Covid Response Team, arguably the most powerful person in America during covid:

Andy was also central in developing the Biden Administration’s covid shot mandates.

The report shows copies of numerous internal emails, messages, and memos from Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon, which all show the companies being pressured by the White House to change their content moderation policies and delete specific posts, articles, and even entire books:

This is all pretty rich, coming from a Biden Administration that is constantly crying about parents working to remove smut from school libraries, and calling those parents “radical book burners.” As Moms for Liberty founder Tiffany Justice keeps saying, nobody is trying to stop the smut-filled children’s books from being sold. They just don’t want them in public schools.

But according to the Judiciary Committee’s interim report, the Biden Administration was trying to stop books from being sold. Which is actualcensorship, the digital equivalent of book burning. Here’s one censored example offered by Committee Chair Jordan, The Vaccine Book, a mildly pro-vaccine tome that even-handedly reviewed the pros and cons of each childhood vaccine, and (which probably signed its literary death warrant), lists each vaccine’s side-effects:

Under Biden’s censorship regime, books like The Vaccine Book were de-platformed, meaning Amazon lowered them in the rankings and in search results following pressure from Biden’s misinformation warriors. The interim report presented a timeline showing a direct correlation between White House pressure followed by compliant policy changes at the tech companies.

It’s tempting to throw our hands up and complain, “that’s great, but nothing is going to change!” I think that’s the wrong take. The interim report was the result of a massive investigation involving thousands of hours of effort and many subpoenas to the big tech companies. Nobody but the House Judiciary Committee could have gotten hold of all those internal emails and memos.

It’s a stepping stone to accountability. This isn’t over by a long shot.

🔥🔥 You know, I’m getting to like Kentucky Senator Thomas Massie more and more. Not just because of his weather pics. Massie posted this tweet yesterday, announcing his committee’s Wednesday hearing, which will dig into the sudden and unexpected 2021 resignations of two top FDA officials, Marion Gruber and Phil Krause.

Right after Gruber and Kraus quit the agency, they joined a large number of other scientists (safety in numbers) in publishing a Lancet article titled “Considerations in boosting COVID-19 vaccine immune responses.” Shockingly, the October 2021 viewpoint article warned against taking covid booster shots. Here’s what they said — which was the exact opposite of official FDA policy at the time:

So … what was going on inside FDA, when Gruber and Kraus had quit a month earlier, in September? In other words, was there dissent at the highest levels of the FDA over pushing covid boosters? That is the question Senator Massie was referring to. More disclosure may be coming soon.

As I’ve said many times, the government’s pandemic excesses will fuel politics for years to come. This is only going to hurt for a very long time.
