I liked your posts on pumpkins, superstitions, and the flour molds. There must be something wrong with my brain; I didn’t submit to “died suddenly” clickbait.

I believe the ACTUAL government backed psyop is certainly worse than the person reporting inaccurate information in ignorance. But when the ignorant person realizes he has disseminated incorrect info, he must publicly and clearly correct it.

I watched “Watch the Water” when it came out and felt uncomfortable throughout almost the entire thing. It definitely knocked my respect for Stew Peters considerably. The ONLY reason I watched Died Suddenly is because I have always thought someone should make a video or write a lengthy piece with as many references to real people who have died suddenly throughout this nightmare. The people included would be those whose vax status can be verified via virtue signaling Facebook, Twitter, Instagram posts, or if they worked or attended school at a place which mandates the shots, or if loved ones verified shot status. This would leave out countless others whose status could not be verified, but still... Anyway, by the title, I thought that’s what it would be about. Ugh.

I still think someone should create such a list...maybe one that can be easily amended as more people die suddenly.

As for clickbait, it doesn’t really tempt me. Of course, if you classify titles like, “Healthy Italian Wedding Soup Recipe” or “The 10 Best Weekend Getaways in Texas,” etc, clickbait. It’s not clickbait if the article or video contains what the title promises, right?

I immediately smelled limited hangout. Whether intentional or not, I believe Stew is being either used or using us. This is how they do it, get a useful idiot to tell the story they want, or simply install a fake guru to begin with.

Not everything is a psyop (maybe), but also, trust your nose.

The "it's a psyop" mentality strikes me as something akin to superstition or how our ancient ancestors tried to explain the world around them with pantheons of irascible gods and goddesses who ultimately used human beings as their playthings.

If there is one consistent human urge it is the "there has to be a reason" impulse. People always want to know the reason why things are as they are. And when actual reasons are not forthcoming, people are prone to fill in the blanks with intuition, hunches, gut checks, et cetera. Only instead of conjuring up irascible gods and goddesses, people conjure up psyops.

I think I prefer the irascible gods and goddesses. They're more entertaining.

op is worse, hands down. It involves the most powerful actor with probably excellent knowledge of how to seed things and possibly even surreptitious help from platforms deliberately warping perceptions in an entirely unnatural direction.

clickbait on the other hand usually starts with something genuine. It may add a lot of garbage and possibly discredit the entire argument in the minds of more knowledgeable and/or intelligent viewers, but it wants to leverage an existing belief, and has no particular reason to *deliberately* undermine whatever solid arguments may exist.

Nah.

When the producers have a history of spewing garbage that makes you wish you'd never told anyone about Ardis or Peters, it's right to be suspicious.

That they started with Bigfoot and managed to sprinkle in easily-debunked "errors" for every subject they covered, is just too damning to think it's just clickbait.

The real kicker for me, before even seeing it, was seeing the same pattern over Youtube and Twitter - comments mentioning how horrible or grisly was DIED SUDDENLY the movie.

Why were so many people using ALL CAPS?

Why were those same people all calling this video or documentary a "movie"?

If it looks like an op, sounds like an op, behaves like an op and has the exact same effect as an op would have, then it's an op.

PS: I'm a advertising copywriter when not doing hypnotherapy; this was beyond clickbait

"Personally, I’ve gone the route of writing what I like given that the financial income doesn’t incentivize me (i.e. pressure me) into going fully down the COVID route4. I will also say it’s been better on my mental health to not have to keep writing about COVID."

And I like reading what _else_ you write about. I like reading about biochemistry -- I guess I must, having been reading about it for decades -- and I like the way you present things because it leaves me less inclined to want to pull my hair out trying to understand. My hair is thin enough already. Yes, that's a complement.
