Self censorship was a big thing before the internet. One knew in one’s heart and mind that the mainstream media was lying. But in casual encounters when mainstream topics were broached, the mainstream narrative was invoked.

The mainstream narratives now are all simply stupid, people who utter them sound like AI robots. But without a cabal narrative, thousands of rivulets and creeks from varied terrains following the natural law of gravity passing through forrest, canyon, grassy plain and granite mountain join together into a true river of natural law. The cabal fictions are struggling to survive on the internet. The internet is the terrain where information lives.

Self censorship exists when there is a narrative backed by power. It is becoming harder, perhaps impossible, to actually identify and isolate such a narrative. Many people today cannot find a mainstream narrative to identify with or fight against.

I didn’t talk about my baby’s death for years. Not being able to find the words is not self censorship. Life can exist beyond language. Perhaps our language needs to be expanded. I do believe our language is expanding. Trump has expanded public language, though the few diehards glued to their TVs or cowering at the feat of their mentors and masters and friends who funnel TV to them are ignorant of the organic vastness of the electronic networks.

Very engaging article Hugh. Glad you and the Prof enjoyed our lovely town, 3K is our go to for an Ulster fry. The virtues of the BBC are slowly crumbling with the recent scandals, which will hopefully wake up the die hards who defend the Cabal narrative spun to them down the tube 24/7 like their lives depend on it.

Did I say we went to the Three Kings? Actually we lost track of the time and should have ordered lunch! He went on to meet Jeffrey at the end of his road trip. Strangely he lives opposite the school in Edinburgh which played rugby against my sons and which has a strong connection with Inst! We hosted these 4 huge Scottish rugby lads--after we had gone through Child Protection!--they seemed like 6 foot plus and 16 stone! He was a prop-despite his size and a rugby referee. I do hope you listen to the short Norman Fenton interview--he is excellent and a warrior. I was using the article to point out to the doubters who scoff at censorship as a conspiracy theory.

No you didn't, but as a native I know every inch of every cafe. It's a small town. I'll definitely listen to NF, I admire him very much. The connections we find we have with people we meet never fails to amaze me. T

There are none so censored as those that will not see.

When the Shipman Enabling Act was introduced, it banned covid autopsies.

That told me all I needed to know.

To the extent it is true, it is encouraging and hopeful that a mainstream narrative is nebulous or, simply harder to find.

A few minutes of self-imposed treachery listening to the CBC state TV/radio of Trudeau’s Chinada dispels such hope in this failing nation.
