Thomas that's hilarious!!!

------------------

Emanuel - once again I just skimmed your piece.

For a community that is fighting for free speech banning and blocking are really amped up.

I'm shunned by both my kids. Banned for 100 years as well, when I expressed concern to the author about some regular's talking about murder. (I thought the author was pushing too hard)

I was blocked by someone else, well... for a sad manipulative thing by the author. (personal in nature)

I was banned temporarily for telling another author I would not kill someone over a can of soup. (I can be rather blunt, never name calling, but definitely stubborn)

And then banned again by another (still too fresh and ugly) He kind of did a hit piece on me on his feed.

It is amazing we are not all totally insane.

I've been noticing really reactive behavior, which I think is really pushed forward by the idea of the other and controlled opposition.

I've been stepping away and doing the work of it. But feel pretty raw and quick to assume as well. Which is why I'm stepping away and only skimming.

May we all hear the silent screams and dig deep for compassion.

I think as a colleague told me this morning, living under a totalitarian system breeds division.

Thank you for your comment. And no, I wouldn't kill for a can of soup either!

Yeah!

It's definitely being fed.

Thank you.

And of course you wouldn't!

I think it's a decision. A moral decision? Just as we choose how to behave. What feels right and in alignment. In all of what we are going through there is the choice to stand in integrity or not.

I'd rather hand out cans of soup, or better yet make a big pot of and invite others in.

What is life without integrity?

There are so many messages of fear being pushed. (and yes this is all so ugly, the damage and devastation) But in the end we will all die. Human life is just a moment. There's nothing to grab onto that will change that, not even a can of soup.

Hi Elizabeth,

You are always welcome at my stack any time and I haven't banned nor censored anyone even if they have a go at me. I might not be the 2nd smartest guy around, but I don't agree with censorship in any form, particularly if they ask hard questions.

I think you've hit on at least one reason why substack exists. I am fairly sure by this point it's a psyop. I studied who the frontmen and women are and where the money is coming from (and it ain't subscriptions...) and what they're doing with said funds. Also the swirling around the drain of many stacks to keep people caught in the sink endlessly swirling.

Then there is the fomenting of violent reactions and hatred or misanthropy (should anyone like the fancy name for it) that many stacks are turning to which I suspect was their mission all along.

Killing for a can of soup is insane. We are not animals regardless of how many attempts to turn us into one are made unless we allow ourselves to swallow that putrid lie.

Anyone who sincerely challenges any of this platforms' "mission" is persona non grata and increasingly so.

Wise as serpents and harmless as doves. As long as it lasts. Stay frosty.

Love your call for compassion. Keep sounding it from the rooftops.

Was this to me Pirate?

There was someone on another's feed who kept speaking to murder and mayhem. He might have been messing about, but I couldn't stay silent.

Expand full comment

It was to you and to everyone who is being banned. The last sentence is for you.

The "stay frosty", etc., is a call for cooler heads to prevail. I have seen the same. People calling for murder and mayhem and stacks provoking and supporting sickness.

I don't mean don't speak out when you come across someone spouting evil intent. I'm talking the intentional provocation of civil war. I think that's the aim not only on this platform but across the world.

Speaking out is a very good thing IMO and will help people to see the lunacy of their misdirected rage. I hope.

Your call for compassion is right on and those who are promoting evil need calling out. That is a form of compassion. Keep up your good work. Even if it leads to banning.

I was banned from Sage Hana's stack for speaking out about a post he/she made about an old woman who fell down the stairs and died and her dead body lay undiscovered in her house for so long her cats began eating her. So many people thought this was hilarious and took it as an opportunity to say the most cruel things assuming the old woman had been vaccinated. When I said I didn't think any of it was funny at all, the attack was on from many flying monkeys. Finally a person calling herself Heidi Heil (what?) wrote of people enjoying "dark humor" and recounted a grotesque series of jokes, one being a joke Bob Saget told about sodomizing a little boy until he threw up and died and she left a link for everyone to watch Bob Saget telling this joke. I didn't watch the link. It was all sick enough as it was in writing. I stood my ground and finally Sage (in all caps) kept calling in long paragraphs for me to die. Over and over. I was warned if I kept standing my ground I would be banned and then he/she banned me.

This is the kind of sickness going on and that's why I say thank you for your compassion.

I urge everyone to stand their ground whether it be New Zealand Doc calling out inflammatory lies or other base provocations that are attempting to turn people into animals. Which is a lie itself and self-evident.

Expand full comment

The reason I asked is that it didn't come to my inbox, which was odd.

Thank you for sharing that rather brutal account. Horrifyingly sickening. I personally don't like any humor at another's expense. The man speaking to murder and mayhem was on S's feed as well. Yeah S banned me as well. Someone told me you got into trouble on S's feed without any details.

My most recent ban was by a very beautiful man who went off on me in private in very ugly way. It wasn't unfamiliar behavior to me, but it was unfamiliar coming from him. I'll probably be reflecting on it for some weeks.

It's like I am witnessing a split, a splintering with some. Different sides of a person not integrated together. It feels pushed forward, amped up.

I think we have to be careful to stay really grounded and not step into it. Draw boundaries absolutely. Walk away when needed, most definitely.

But also wonder at what else is being expressed like with the man on Kyle's feed. I've never seen him behave that way before.

Man are we being called to step up.

Regardless of personal beliefs I see this is exactly what God spoke of when he said there will be a dividing of the sheep from the goats. A harvest of the wheat from the tares. We are all being exposed as who we really are and it's not comfortable to go through or witness.

I used to be the kind of person that gave others miles of acceptance. I even married a few that I should never have married because they are harmful malignant people. But I felt everyone is human and to err is human, right? And God knows I've done my share of awful things, so who am I to draw lines in the sand? I suffered a lot of harm with this belief and it's taken some time to see I do have to draw that line in that there sand. I now see everyone has the right to say what is acceptable to them and what is not and to stand by that declaration.

I think Sage and her followers found themselves in more trouble than I ever did. After the initial attacks, I just stood my ground. As the attacks increased, I called the entire channel out for what I saw as endemic problems that led to people thinking horrific child abuse and murder are "funny". IMO Sage is up to no good. He/she is a trap.

I'm sorry you got ambushed by what sounds like a covert narcissist who is covert no more. People with that personality can be so very damaging because they hide themselves until they attack. Like the horned sand viper. An animal worth studying in these times.

You are doing good work. I hope it doesn't cost you too much. I pray it doesn't.

Everything evil that relies on the cover of darkness to perpetuate it's evil works is being revealed. So everyone can see it for what it is and choose.

I think the issue is more that we are all fighting for free speech and we are all on edge.

Banning someone is taking their voice away. It's also deleting them completely. Blocking is a little less brutal.

You are in a good club.

I too was banned for questioning contaminants in their petmectin and fenben products. I think that 2nd smartest guy is a group of people who are mass poisoning without liability due to the fools believing that the same labs that said the jabbs were safe and effective have inspected their products and said the same.

Further, its a great strategy to get those who didn't take the jabbs as they have no liability because people are taking a vet product.

After my questions they offered to send their products to anyone who wanted to inspect them. I took up their offer and just received veiled threats in reply.

Then they deleted my comments but left their nice reply up. Sun Tzu would be proud.

I well remember the rollout, people were desperate to get jabbed, they couldn't wait, they truly believed the jabs were safe & effective, and on top of that, in the cities especially, the social pressure to be jabbed and boosted, and then "fully boosted," was enormous. The people I know (in the US and also other countries), if at that time they'd been handed the opportunity for an exemption, they would have ignored it, like a coupon from the supermarket for something they didn't want. Add to that, most doctors were urging their patients to get jabbed, and most people I know, at that time, they would do whatever their doctor recommended, without question.

UPDATE: All that said, not everyone viewed it that way, of course. What just came to mind was the bitter, really bitter, testimony of NYC police detective Daniel Crerend, who lost his job to the mandate, even while NYC Mayor Eric Adams allowed athletes and perfomers to work unjabbed.

I wont call them dumb but certainly average covers most.

Is it my bad sense of humor? Knowing they may have avoided increasing and exacerbating the existing tech inside them with the jab, that they all have it regardless as we have shown via the mass screening at the NZ Drs conference, and by thinking they are "purebloods" wont mitigate it.?

That goes for all the exempted, politicians, health workers and no doubt those paid to monitor sites like this.

Any real inquiry the government does better include very up to date info as it will show that its not only the jabbed getting sick or dying now. That calamari or polymer is in all now and growing rapidly.

Companies, Wasabi and MEGA, took down both Steve's and Kevin McKernan's data........ MEGA were requested by NZ MoH...... interesting that a Ministry of Health denies, with all privacy assured, the partial data of NZ citizens.

So MEGA complied with said request BUT then astonishingly, proceeded to delete ALL of Kevin McKernan's data ! An example of what we're up against.

Anyone using these servers, should withdraw everything asap..... and maybe contact others like Steve for a secure, red-pilled server.

I have read across many substacks since Pierre Kory started his, and I find most writers either respond with a post when many commenters have a particular issue, or they are incredibly lenient and welcoming even to outrageous claims or bots. New Zealand is so much in the forefront these days, with the data revelations, the governmental objection to the WHO pandemic tightening totalitarian cinch, etc., so I wonder if there are efforts at obfuscation and smoke and mirrors afoot. It seems odd to me that substack has never come under the kind of fire individuals and media have been subjected to, particularly with the new cottage industry, globally, of policing "hate speech" and mal and dis and whatever information.

It seems peculiar, too, that the fact that you live there, and have covered these issues over the course of the pandemic, is not recognized as being salient. I just loved your last essay, and I think Michael Shellenberger (sp) is right, that we are up against an anti-human death cult, and, I kid you not, I think those forces want to destroy all that is beautiful, the language itself, literature, and contested but scholarly histories.A character in the Weight of Ink describes describes Spinoza as wanting to confront a mob with a sign that said "You are the greatest of barbarians." We can only stand in transparency and what we know, in good faith, to be right, despite the mob, wherever they may gathering.

I attended and watched global scientists including many highly qualified doctors attending a global conference of the dangers of 5G .

At that time they were desperately trying to stop it. The science on the harm is fact .

I have some of the recordings from that conference and I might post on a cloud links for naysayers to listen to.

We also need to be clear that there are enemy forces trying to STOP and censor anything that is inconvenient .

As you would well know Doc it takes humility to admit you’re wrong about something, particularly something one is so vehemently passionate about, like The Second Smartest Guy in the World is. He puts a lot of effort into his posts, as you do, and I can only imagine the embarrassment of being wrong about something so important has shaken his cage a bit too much. Pity really, he’d have a lot more credibility and garnered more respect if he’d concurred and not reacted in such a temperamental way.

It would be more likely to be a purposeful misrepresentation in my view to discredit the information that's coming out, even if there are a few minor errors in the data's statistical interpretation methodologies.

Anyone who claims that level of intellect surely knows 11k politicians in any country is unreasonable.

Pretending to take offense at "rudeness" was just an excuse to use a ban to shut down the discussion asap. Must have got the order to do so which is a good sign of panic. I like that... If there is a more logical reason that someone can come up with, I am all ears for it.
