Its healthier mentally and physically to stay far away from msm. Imho.

Chomsky is a fire-breathing communist, so I would take everything he says with a grain of salt. However, even a broken clock can be right twice a day. In other words, 2 times out of 1440, or 0.139% of the time. (LOL) When Jews (and non-Jews) lose their faith in God, they almost always turn to the worship of Government Almighty.

because The Guardian became more and more beholden to the establishment (aka TPTB), the OffGuardian was established, which is much more fun: launched in February 2015 it "...takes its name from the fact its founders had all been censored on and/or banned from the Guardian’s ‘Comment is Free’ sections...." - https://off-guardian.org/site-info/

Being free entails taking ownership of your actions. Meaning accountability. Which has all but vanished in the West. At least it has here in Canada. No accountability whatsoever.

which is really, really sad to see happening. it has also to do with personal responsibility. the idea that for every action there will be a reaction (and one had better be ready for it). Netherlands says HI :-))

Holland! My daughter visited Amsterdam a couple of years ago. Great memories enjoying herself in such a historical city.

born & bred Amsterdamian here. these days cars are getting too big for the historical parts of the city, sometimes it's a hassle. tug-of-war between the various interests. mask-wearing and compliance during C19 was overwhelming (ugh!), so enjoying some of these substack authors a lot (ht sir B.Michael). cheers!

Thank you kindly. I agree about size of cars. The EV's are that much bigger and many look ugly. Whteher they are much wider I haven't checked. My wife and I had a 2CV and they are ideal for town and country although I have always preferred my bicycle.

And the Dutch are free thinkers who speak their mind. That's the scary part about how they fell over for Covid. Sad what happened everywhere including USA.

Great post!

I haven't watched MSM going on 7 years.

I wouldn't read anything RR has written, same goes for Krugman.

I believe they are both on Substack...

Thanks and yes, both on substack. I have just had a look at Krugman's site. I only looked at one article but, to be blunt, what unthinking crap it is. As to the majority of commenters they are quite insane, their level of thinking is childish.

there is NO climate crisis, as w covid, it was opportunistic money maker for the fascist commie grifters.

~ wild list of the Biden and Obama Dems w ties and connections to the pop-up climate nonprofit shells & honeypot NGOs who got $20B from Biden’s climate slush funds, now parked in 129 accounts at Citibank. These bank accounts rapidly launched betw Nov - Dec 2024 as Kamala Harris lost. Dems devilishly installed a contractual release clause to immediately spend your $$ if Pres Trump & EPA chief Lee Zeldin try to claw that back from what’s being called the Dems’ climate grift machine:
