Agree, “staying out of the way” physically makes sense. But not much is likely to change for the better until the people -- now awake, and clearly in the majority -- have a way to know they are indeed the majority and can, with relative ease, apply massive, timely “public opinion pressure” to TPTB. Otherwise, the honest people in govt are unlikely to stand up to their corrupt, murdering leaders, who currently hold almost all of the cards.

The mechanism to apply such “public opinion pressure” could be realized by the many substack freedom-fighters – like you, 2nd Smartest Guy …, etc – if they coordinated with each other to seek widespread public support for vital objectives, focused narrowly enough for most of these leaders to be willing to promote them with their audiences.

Pressure from this “public opinion” would then be applied by some variant of the Jeff Childers’ “operation multiplier” approach, where people vote with any size donation ending in “2” for example.

I don't think awake people willing to be non-compliant and lose what they have worked for (homes, careers, status) are the majority. Not by a long shot.

Agree, but that is not what was meant -- the silent majority would express their real opinions, if they had a way to do this without reprisals, which is what was being suggested. Just saying, timely/secret ballots are possible, and they'd help, so efforts to this end would be worthwhile.

I honestly disagree - I do not think the silent majority is pro-freedom and anti-the narrative. While booster uptake is down which is encouraging, if they are scared enough again they will happily kill anyone who doesn't go along with 'it' (whatever 'it' may be).

Thanks, and will agree to disagree, albeit my take may be saying the same thing in the end. Extrapolating from Milgram experiment, about 1/3 will continue to follow authority no matter what, and about 1/3 will be saved by their values and critical-thinking skills, but that middle 1/3 will go with whatever side seems to be winning at the time. So, if a society is not at the point of “nothing left to lose” yet, “honest public opinion” can flip much of the middle 1/3, to yield a majority.

I hope you are right, but I fear I am.

Thanks for the note, and agree “Everyone has a birth right to hide and be correct in giving up on the masses.” My plan though is to keep pushing for more-effective “peaceful resistance” efforts and pray that those working these efforts will ultimately succeed in imposing justice on the criminals involved, in courts of law, Nuremberg-2, etc. May be naïve, but have not given up on the masses yet.

This is a great conversation. Not sure if you guys are interested but have a look and see what it was like for the unvaccinated in Western Australia where I am...maybe you will understand a bit more my inclination to survive and step back now. https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/australian-genocide-in-progress

And the current situation: https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/genocide-denial-now-occurring-in

Thanks for the links. Interesting to know how it is in WA, and learned things that I wish it was not important for us to know, but it is.

Also left you some links there may be useful if not already familiar. Here is another one that may be of interest, where KGB defector, Yuri Bezmenov, clearly describes what is going on today, plus how to fix it, in 1983 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9TviIuXPSE&t=18s ) { no time to watch it all, skip to 59:00 for bottom line }

I learned about Yuri at university decades ago believe it or not. When people learned about things at those places.

Same here, learned about Yuri in 1990's but sadly did not pay enough attention to his warnings. Hope things improve soon in WA, take care.

I'm glad your dad had a wonderful time. That Australia no longer exists. It is full of selfish, scared, weak-minded people with no concept of freedom. The people in charge took advantage of our good nature. There is no coming back from this - we are divided and the sad thing is that the majority doesn't understand that something horrible has happened. The excess deaths are surpassing WWI deaths when we lost a generation and no one is talking about it. Our Prime Minister is partying at gay parades and looting retirement funds while people cheer. Our country is gone. Let it burn. I will rise from the ashes and rebuild with the 5%.

Edit: this may also further explain the state of things here. I believe Australians are the 'New Soviets' A man set himself on fire over the vaccine mandates and no one talks about it now. https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/hypernormalisation-the-australian

Agree, and well-put, "Dr. MLK Jr. did by all measures leave the finest example yet about peaceful resistance. Possibly in human history."

Other heroes with faith-based courage, in my view, include Yuri Bezmenov (noted above), Manning Johnson, Whittaker Chambers, and other senior communists that defected and tried to warn us re subversion. But we did not listen....

Pray things turn out as good as they can be for humanity, given all of the serious evils that are in play these days,

Yes, it would be nice to have more people on substack, but expect there are already enough on substack to have the necessary public reach, because each person on substack has a circle of friends they can influence.

So even those, not on substack, could express their opinions anonymously by using Jeff Childers’ “operation multiplier” approach. Many subconsciously self-censor any “awake” thoughts that they have because they think these are minority views, when they are not.

Revealing public opinion, in spite of MSM suppression, is essential for unsilencing the “awake” masses and pressuring TPTB through fear. So, substack leaders, like yourself, need to coordinate better with each other to give “we the people” this powerful weapon,

I wasn't able to influence any of my family or friends. They all thought I was just a nutty conspiracy theorist. I've only had one buddy tell me that he should have listened to me. Now he and his wife are both having health issues.

Similar, but not quite as bad, experience here. But sense most of those that I know will lose their blinders almost immediately, once it is clear to them that doing so will put them on the majority's side.

It should thus be a priority to make the "honest public opinion" on key topics widely known. A way to do this, that might work, was suggested above -- better ideas anyone?
