The mainstream media seem to have got into the habit of developing the most contentious issues of the day into a narrative which cannot be challenged. Before long this is reinforced by social media, often incubated by virtue signalling so that those who make a challenge face ostracism by their peers.
Having spent most of my working life with adults like Julie Walters in Educating Rita who discovered a thirst for knowledge later in life and never stopped asking questions, I am very shocked and disappointed at the numbers of people who have swallowed recent narratives without question. The truths are starting to emerge but many still get an apathetic response.
Brexit was a disastrous idea, mask wearing was ineffective, lockdowns had a serious impact on health, the "vaccines" were dangerous gene therapy, resulting in huge numbers of adverse effects, the Nordstream pipeline was blown up by the US as part of Biden's proxy war to weaken Russia and there is a huge variation of opinion from experts on global warming. The evidence to support all these issues is now in the public domain but mainstream media is only slowly embracing it and there is a reticence among those who believed the narratives to admit they were wrong. Remember how Ivermectin was ridiculed as a therapy for Covid? There are plenty of peer-reviewed papers now saying just the opposite.
The censuring of huge numbers of experts during Covid is probably the worst example of attacks on freedom of speech and we have a right to ask how the powers that be actually got away with it. Unless the public realises what has been going on, it will only get worse. 1984 was meant to be a warning, not a workshop manual! Can anyone offer some optimism on the subject?
