I just read Meryl Nass's post at https://merylnass.substack.com/p/academic-censorship-jefferson-and , which is a copy of Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghan's post from https://trusttheevidence.substack.com/p/censorship-and-their-antidotes-in , called "Censorships and their Antidotes in Covid Times: Persecution of those with differing views is alive, well and kicking. Energised by the Covid pandemic".
I can't comment under the original post, since I'm not a paid subscriber, so I commented under Meryl's. And now I want to expand on that a little here.
They point out a number of censorship methods and then they mention some reactions that censored people have tried. Here are excerpts.
(REACTIONS TO CENSORSHIP)
"The reactions of the victims were interesting: intimidation did not seem to work, all those interviewed carried on articulating their work and thoughts, some took legal actions, and others formed support networks. Perhaps the most interesting reaction was the use of alternative means of communication. Coming under attack requires highly effective communication strategies to get your points across.
"Silencing and Censorship can be addressed by finding alternative sources of communication (e.g substack) and media outlets that are better at dealing with and expressing uncertainties. Denigration and Discrediting require keeping calm and not responding in kind while sticking to an evidence-based approach - counter certainty with uncertainty. Complaints and Intimidation are perhaps the most pervasive strategies and most difficult to deal with. But take advice, confide in trusted sources and play the long game."
(HEALTHCARE WORKERS GUILTY)
Here are two comments under Meryl's post.
And I am of the opinion that the medical profession and establishment is more culpable than most because a) it has the responsibility of care, "first do no harm" and recognition of the principles of "informed consent" and the Nuremberg codes prohibiting the use of experimental drugs and b) the public HAD trust in them far more so than Governments and politicised "Public Health" Agencies.
For physiciaans, many of whom DO understand, to have gone along with the covid scam in the interests of their own security when knowingly harming patients, is both scandalous and an absolute disgrace to their profession.
They have had 2 years to move into the light but shockingly few have done so.
(GOVERNMENTS GUILTY)
I replied: Excellent points, IMO. Obviously, we can't trust the government to regulate the medical industry or anything else. Almost everything the government regulates is regulated for the benefit of big business, not the public, despite pretensions. So I blame the government and big business for turning many healthcare workers into their pawns. Many of the workers still seem to be unaware that they've been deceived. My nephew's sister-in-law has been in charge of the Covid floor of a hospital and she and her family seem to believe all of the mainstream lies. I think the ruling class put Biden in power because they wanted to reduce the numbers of liberals, blacks and hispanics. If Trump had been re-elected, those groups would likely have been vax-hesitant. I looked up liberals against covid vaxes online recently and found that there was a website about that in 2020, before Biden was elected. I think the ruling class's sycophants realized that liberals are more gullible than conservatives, so if a liberal were put in "power", they would go for the jabs more numerously than would conservatives. I'm a liberal myself, but one of the rare non-gullible variety. I also call myself a liberal libertarian. I've long been antiwar. I never fell for the AGW scam either and I don't favor taxation. ...
ACTIVISM
I'm for legal action, like class action lawsuits against government employees who acted illegally by pretending that masks, social distancing, and vaxes were legally required, when they were not. No legislature has passed such laws that I know of.
I'm also for political action to repeal the law that makes vaccine makers exempt from lawsuits. I'd also like to prosecute those who made and maintained that law, which was clearly an illegal law, but that won't happen.
The system seems to be hopelessly corrupt, but Revelation 11:15 says the governments of man will become Godly governments, so I think it's possible to be successful being politically active working toward that goal.
I want to do what I can to help bring tyranny to an end, maybe starting with helping to inform parents about Covid vax dangers and the fact that the Covid vax is apparently now on the childhood vax schedule and how to get religious exemptions or do homeschooling or unschooling. I plan to make copies of my post at https://tiny.cc/cofaq2 to give to my extended family asap. Anyone else is welcome to do the same.
I am a bit shocked to find no comments here! I wonder why that is.....
Maybe the subject of censorship bores people on Substack?
After all, most of us who write here do so because we are unacceptable anywhere else and so, you are talking to the converted who have already tried every possible solution they can think of and we are still marginalised with one glaring carrot (amnesty at Twitter) being waved at us in the coming week.
Some of us will still be reluctant to even lick the carrot, let alone eat the damned thing.
Could Elon be leading us into a trap?
I think that is highly likely.
Here is that tsunami of honesty I was hoping for.... looks like I am not the only one noticing its absence!
