MJ MURPHY: Intelligence doesn't protect you from social pressure.

Quick question.  Have you ever noticed that the smartest people you know sometimes believe the most obvious nonsense?  Why?  Why do you think that is.  It's because intelligence doesn't protect you from social pressure.  That's what breaking the spell is about. Not politics.  Not left versus right.  The psychological machinery underneath all of it, the language pattern, the framing, the manipulation, the fear of social consequences.  I've sold 176 copies so far.  If you're tired of feeling like reality itself is being negotiated, get your copy and learn to see the machinery.  

Breaking the Spell, MJ Murphy, 2026. 

MJ MURPHY: Because reality doesn't care about social pressure. Reality doesn't care about popularity. Reality remains reality whether people are willing to say it out loud or not.

Maybe you're hearing a spiral of silence because silence is not the same thing as agreement.  It's not the same thing as consent.  And if enough people are afraid to speak honestly, eventually nobody knows what everyone really thinks, not even the people enforcing the silence, and that's dangerous.  Because reality doesn't care about social pressure.  Reality doesn't care about popularity.  Reality remains reality whether people are willing to say it out loud or not.

DAVID FRIEDBERG: there is nothing illegal or fraudulent going on. In fact, the system is operating exactly as intended it has been set up, structured anyway that with the right construct you can get an individual appointed, not elected, but appointed to a particular role in government under a "free election" in California.

David Friedberg leads this discussion.

2:03.  And, Nick if you'll just pull up the map which is I think worth taking a look at, basically the concentrations of incremental votes that Nithya Raman got came around the Skid Row area in Los Angeles.  And look I'm not an election denier.  I'm not someone who's historically believed the idea that elections are fraud and people have stolen votes. But when you look at the basic statistics of what happened in-person, mail-in before and after Election Day, it becomes a real statistical quagmire on how did this sort of social political shift happen in such a way that it did?

Friedberg continues, 

Now, there was a report published, Nick, if you could pull this up, by the US House of Representatives Committee on House Administration.  This was published in May of 2020 and they highlighted the 2018 California midterm elections and the challenges they saw arise in that midterm elections because of some of the legislative changes that were made.  First, California Assembly Bill 1921 legalized the practice of unlimited ballot harvesting in the state this was passed around 2018 around the midterms is that any individual has the right to go and collect ballots from any other individuals regardless of relationship, fill them out, and send them in. California 2 years later, 18 months later also passed a law that made it permanent that every person registered in the state of California would get a ballot.  So tens of millions of ballots then get mailed out.  Then there was another series of laws that were passed that said anyone can register to vote.  You don't need to prove your citizenship.  You can use a gym membership card as an example.  So anyone can register to vote. There is no proof of ID when you get a ballot.  There is no demonstration at the person who fills out has anything to do with the individual who is supposed to be voting that ballot.  And it is legal for an individual to go out and collect hundreds or thousands of ballots, ship them in, and they will all qualify in these kind of mail-in ballot voting procedures. So there is nothing illegal or fraudulent going on in fact the system is operating exactly as intended it has been set up, structured anyway that with the right construct you can get an individual appointed Not Elected but appointed to a particular role in government under a "free election" in California.  This is a foundational destruction of our rights to vote for people in a free democracy I feel it's been eroded slowly over time to such an extent now and I'm not some crazy MAGA mfer or whatever people want to classify me as for pointing this out but you can go down the list they are all written out in this document every one of these laws that were passed in California overtime that in aggregate create the environment and the construction for elections to become appointments and no longer free Democratic elections where the principal very importantly the principal should be: one individual, one vote.  And if you opt to not vote, your vote should not be counted.  So I think that there is no fraud yeah I think this is not the way the laws are set up. 

GB UKJ0N GB: Following the horrific stabbing of a 17-year-old girl in Brierfield. Alex Phillips has a powerful message for Keir Starmer.

They will deploy the Army against the population that continues to object to their own destruction.  There will be no voting their way out of this, our Gov'ts won't let us.  Folks should embrace the horror and get to work. --Linuxhippie
