She's got to be kidding!! I certainly don't feel "privileged"... I've had my entire life turned upside down for going against the system! I'm almost a total hermit now! Thank you so much John, for your brilliant analysis of this most ludicrous of articles!

Privileged class ??? I remember four years ago I was within 36 days of having to shut down my very profitable personal training studios because of the Trump initiated lockdowns. for a virus that does not exist, none of them do . I took of drinking a 12 pack a day ( my choice, my fault , but the world economic forum and Trump offered me the rotten apple to eat ). My marriage suffered my children suffered . Doesn’t sound like such a privilege class to me, whether it sounds like a serf! The world economic forum lost, and my business ended up driving despite their lies and bullshit . I’ll never drink another beer again😁 fuck the world economic forum, and fuck all world government s!!!! The truth is all that matters

Intentional? The Jethro Tull song is called, "Life's a long SONG." Which better describes the glass being half FULL than half empty as one might otherwise conclude by all the trickery deployed upon the unwary. Quite often I look around to view the darkness and deception that prevails, and marvel that there is so little Truth manifested by the inhabitants of earth. So many are willing to trust in an obvious flurry of lies, as a worthy trade for eternal life. Then I am brought to the realization that there is a war of deception and treachery waged against the Truth by the "father of lies." HIs waged war will be no more than a distant, dark memory that might even be removed from our recollection to sustain the God-given peace of mind and heart which will characterize eternal life, as promised.

So, in that regard, life is more of a "Song" than a "Con." But we must look at it from that perspective, and struggle to look away from the "emptiness" that the glass otherwise presents to us first. The weightier, highly valued, and sought-after substance is found at a deeper level.

Aha, so the "privileged class" are constantly getting their faces kicked in, losing their jobs or being persecuted and socially isolated for their critical opinions. I don't give a shit about such privileges. I've rarely read such bullshit. As a precaution, she also disabled the comments right away. Simply ridiculous.

OMG now I am “privileged” for being unjabbed.

I am now a total hermit having cut myself off from nearly everyone due to the nature being uncomfortable in the presence of the many who take it for granted “that you are Jabbed” for the sake of the community. It has become just my life as it is more comfortable even now four years down the track. I cannot deal with the lack of common sense that has evaded nearly everyone.

I don’t feel privileged but I do feel a little more fortunate than the partakers due to listening to that inner voice that says something is wrong here. Never been so steadfast in my life about the refusing. Tried so hard to convince all who I came into contact with to resist and was met mostly with a pat on the head as a misguided fool. Most of us were screaming from the rooftops and now they have the temerity to say we don’t take part in needed debate. We are bl**dy tired and almost exhausted from screaming….beware!

The true side of human nature showed itself in all its glory. Along with the great show of intelligence or common sense. And here we are again…. but now we are privileged. You can’t make it up !

I remember facing some on internet calling for our demise due to our selfishness of wanting bodily autonomy and staying unjabbed. These suggestions were made with venom stinging from their mouths with the most incredible amount of hate. It was scary !

It was also “being thought of as being dumb” that made me angry. No amount of presenting evidence to the contrary of a better choice of refusing would make most I know even read or look at what I sent them.

Every day we faced a barrage on social media or the MSM about how selfish we were. The whole idea of a vaccine meant you were protected against the infected so what didn’t they understand about having had the jab? If they followed the medical fraternity it should have meant they had nothing to worry about coming into contact with us…..the great unjabbed.

The vitriol went on unabated.

Then we had to face not going out to bars or clubs or gyms…..not my cup of tea , but restaurants coffee shops , travel and in general, any place of public gathering.

We couldn’t attend weddings funerals gatherings or parties. Mainly due to family restrictions as they had all taken the jab. I used to hate telling them I had not had it as it created a barrier at which I was on the losing end……only in the sense of socialising.

Families split up over the jab. Marriages ruined. Ah…privileged.

My greatest fear has been and always will be for my son. He was at Uni and nothing could convince him to not have the shot. He was, as all students and workers caught between a rock and a hard place due to the mandates. He was not really privileged to choose unless he gave up everything that was part of his life, not knowing that by doing so he really would be doing what he had intended to avoid. But the hype was so prevailing that he followed medical community.

I have the privilege being a 75 year old mum who wonders if her 30 year old son will pre-decease her. It is in the back of my mind every day. Having lost my first son, that would be the final insult in life.

I will stay in hermit mode happy with my own company, going shopping occasionally and the odd drive, as it seems to me things don’t change. It just becomes a different narrative.

NOW I AM PRIVILEGED ....WHAT A CROC !

Predictably, the person who wrote that utter shite is a spineless coward. They have disabled comments on that post.

She writes:

"The C-19 injection scheme introduced a new division into our society. The injection-free minority are the new privileged class, the jab have-nots. They didn’t opt for Russian-roulette self-harm through a dangerous pharma product. And the injected people are the new underprivileged, the masses, the haves, who were duped/coerced into self-harming through the Corona terror-coercion propaganda campaign. The people of the government-medical-media establishment that manipulated their own people to follow a eugenics scheme are guilty of crimes against humanity. There are 20,000 post-injection deaths in Ireland now (irelandexcessdeaths.com). The establishment are watching the Joe-people of Ireland very carefully.

The first-generation Corona rebels who have risen up to fight the establishment since 2020 are mostly unjabbed people, the privileged class. Most of them pose no real threat to the establishment — they don’t talk much of crimes against humanity. Their speak is underpinned by a tone of ‘Whatever you say, say nothing’. Many of the unjabbed rebels are behaving like privileged classes have always behaved, unable and unwilling to relate directly to the masses, to the brutal change in psychology and biology these people have lived. So many of these rebels are not tuned into the collective, to the underground tremors and seismic shifts in thinking and feeling generated by mass murder. The establishment knows that the real threat lies in the jabbed masses, the individuals with a new darkness in the pit of bellies, the ones for whom the world has ‘all changed, changed utterly’."

I don't feel 'privileged', I feel bloody angry that the REAL privileged ruling classes have declared lethal war upon us all. I am the target of that assault as much as anybody who complied with the Covid diktats, mainly because either because they were too stupid (or too 'intelligent'), too gullible, too submissive, too eager to prove their virtue, or too eager to run with the crowd and have an easy life rather than stand against the tide and endure hardship.

We, the unjabbed, in a very real sense, became the underprivileged class for a while, enduring loss of status, loss of jobs, loss of freedoms and all manner of vitriol from the establishment and from our compliant 'fellow' human beings. Then the tables turned and we were proven to be right to stand up to tyranny. So what happens? The jabbed masses don't embrace us back into the crowd, they shun us yet again and tell us WE are now the 'privileged' class, a little beneath the ruling classes presumably, but way above the 'masses' who are the true martyrs, because now they are suffering because they were frit/stupid/compliant/gullible and thus THEY are now the true threat to the ruling elite, because THEY are RIGHTEOUSLY angry. But they're turning their anger on us apparently, not the elite rulers who mass murdered their loved ones and grievously injured them! Us being right is a greater sin than mass murder it would seem.

Well let me tell you here and now Deirdre dear, you are NOT a threat to the establishment, because you played their Game once and got burned and you're playing their Game again by attempting to divide the 'masses' (INCLUDING us), thus weakening the opposition to the REAL enemy. So who's side are you on Deirdre? Think very carefully.

In a way she is correct. Us pure of blood are privileged in our superior bearing - excellence of morality, fortitude and resilience. We resisted a multibillion dollar propaganda campaign with no guarantees that we would remain alive. We sacrificed careers and social standing in the pursuit of truth and now as the truth leaks out and we watch the incredible gaslighting and coverup unfold, still we shout, still we stand firm, all the while maintaining our compassion and dignity for those who were injured by the jabs, even extending this consideration to those who were initially hostile to our plight. So we are privileged, not by externality, not by any measure of this corrupt society but by our own personal values.

aargh! it's totally galling an' totally uninformed twisted thinkin' but... I cain't say we didn't all see it comin' in SOME form, I knew they'd come for us...

I mean really? privileged eh? we didn't do enuf? we sat on our thrones an' looked down upon them poor fools, tut tut?? oh c'mon...

we shouted from our keyboards! we shared info with friends, fambly, an' many others (I warned folks on parent lists 'til I got booted!) an' that warn't enuf? if it didn't change enuf minds that's not on me, you, er the lamp post... gosh...

I don't know how much louder we all could have yelled.... As fer privilege? There are very few I know who are even doin' HALF as well as they were 'fore this all came down. The only throne we got here is a porcelain one (shared among 4 of us so-called highn'asses) an' havin' both of us grown-ups lose our jobs fer refusin' an' then losin'--near everything!--even our well-priced rental apt--thus havin' to wipe out any savin's left an' move inta nowhereland with a nut-job relative in the dead of winter an' leave our entire city lives bee-hind (well NYC has become a bee-hind but that's a'nuther story)--sure, that's what'cha call privilege! Oh, an' many've us had losses too--"we" may have gotten thru with our health as intact as it could be (given the chem trails an' sheddin' I'm not so sure we all dodged the bullet fully) but many've us have WRECKED famblies beyond repair... I'm still workin' on the continuation of the story of my literally MELTED Mama! Totally gone... (an' we continue to be "banned" an' an' told that us refuse-niks are in a cult!--that's privilege too?)

Gotta say, I’m quite glad, if not a little relieved, to see a few people on here appear to be just as, if not MORE OUTRAGED at the ludicrous pointers put forth in said article than I was! And, just like yourself… and as seemingly illogical as it is… I also knew they’d eventually come after us, and I think I know why. During the absolute peak—the full tilt shock and awe phase of the Covid plandemic madness… they were made to feel like absolute heroes! Like brave warriors heading into a do or die battle to save the entire free world! To them, lining up for their jabs during the great vax rollout, must have felt a little like being fitted up with jungle fatigues and heavy artillery. So… they head off into the great battle, but unfortunately, it doesn’t go quite to plan. A lot of death and casualties are suffered …. so who do they turn their hatred toward? Those dirty smelly draft dodgers!! Those gutless weasels who piked out and left all the fighting to them! Well, something like that anyway..?

ooh, fantastic insight there--think yer onta sumthin' re bein' "made to feel like heroes"--yes, they sucked up all the praise, all them "good jobs" an' thumbs "uppers" (ha, as if they were a kind've upper!) doled out like candies an' now turns out we "artful & draft dodgers" were right! all that empty praise (or in the USA they also got free donuts lol!) just deflated... Had they not been so puffed up an' chuffed up I DO think the fall would'a been a bit less of a shock... Dang fools didn't even wanna hear their "good war" was bullshart and a con (not unlike Vietnam)--in fact more I think 'bout it--the war analogy is also a good one... We may not be winners but our battle scars ain't as deadly--I think that 'bout sums it up (an' indeed I'm totally outraged too at this outpourin' of SLUDGE!)

She confirms she has paid no attention to the ‘DON’T’ crowd. Despite we shouted it loudly for years. A little infuriating. Sad too though. She still hasn’t woken up. Like Scott Adams at one point reluctantly admitted ‘Okay. You guessed right and I guessed wrong’. As if we were as stupid as he. As if we didn’t fully think about it before making our decision.

John Botica's avatar

Yeah, Scott Adams… just a patronising A-Hole! He makes out as though those who submitted to the jabs… it was THEY, who were doing all the critical thinking. Like THEY, were doing all the deep dive critical analysis. Like it was THEY, who were desperately seeking out the truth in the matter. Like it was THEY, who were seeking out the “REAL EXPERTS” and trying to impart the information to friends and family. We, on the other hand… we “dumbos”… we uneducated “anti-vaxxers”… those of us who chose not to partake in the Russian Roulette death jabs. Those of us who tried like buggery to warn the “real intelligent” who walk among us… the “real thinkers,” to look before they leap into something they may well regret for the rest of their lives. Well, we were just “lucky,” weren’t we? No thought went into it whatsoever! We just happened to have lucked on a winner! All by pure chance!

Parallel to that thought: The "privileged" Christian community might as erroneously be deemed as such. But this only from those who have no experience with the Truth behind the scenes which this world puts forth. As sure as God's promises are, they come at a price. Faith, Love, Trust, Obedience, Beneficence, Humility i.e. the subduing of "self." These to be attended, nurtured and sustained with vigilance. There is no physical "rest" for the righteous, just as there is no spiritual "rest" for the wicked.

Likewise, the "jabbed" now feel compromised for having trusted the untrustworthy. Pride in one's "self" has prevented any clarity of Truth for that group (that VERY large group) who believed a lie and are now reaping their unwanted rewards. "Obstructions" to life itself, have been (fittingly) manifesting everywhere, not surprisingly within the "life-blood" (carrying) arteries and veins in the form of white rubbery clots; the physical manifestation of allowing the introduction of that foreign "substance."

Too late, now, they have been brought to the well of Truth, but unable to fully reach the curative (temporally speaking) waters of Truth, they point their accusations elsewhere. But justice is not merciful, and many will die for their blatant mistake of trusting in a lie.

To those who have brought their valued vessels with which to dip into and retain the Water of life, it falls on them to share; to teach (with loving empathy) the Eternal Truth regarding the choices in this life. Consequences will come, but in the end, there is that "Blessed Mercy" provided us as a free gift from the Son of man of the promised Redemption if we will but obey and trust HIM who is worthy of trust, and who has never lost a battle. To do otherwise, is to face total annihilation; to be "blotted out of the book of life."

There are only TWO paths. The choice is ours. The narrow, higher one on the right leads to eternal life in Christ, but the false, wide, downhill, treacherous one on the left, leads to death eternal.

This essay's parallel is but one of many, which will become evident through the working of the Holy Spirit's desire to bring Truth to the world's notice. His commission is to "lighten the world" with the Truth of the Gospel. Divine methodology calls for Christians as a means of spreading it abroad.

Let me tell you something Hard Christians as privileged. Do you walk into any Christian Greek Orthodox Church and you look at the walls are full and covered with icons 90% of those persons hanging up on the walls willingly and peacefully paid for their faith with their lives in some of the most barbaric torturous ways that you cannot even imagine , Real Christians, orthodox Christians are certainly not privileged on this earth plane just look at Godzilla and Lebanon 1/3 of those people are orthodox Christians being slaughtered by the Jews

Ray Alford's avatar

Haha! The "Godzilla" quote threw me! Thanks for correcting. Chris, I think we are on the same page here. Christianity is the enemy of the world and its pagan and apostate religions. We are informed that we will face persecution, and if we trade our temporal lives for the sake of God's Glory, we will be saved, but not so, if we refrain.

Also, I feel very much inadequate to make any accurate judgement regarding what is happening in the East with Gaza. Propaganda is so prevalent and concerted that I get all too suspicious and figure it be better of me to refrain from siding with what I don't know to be the Ultimate Truth. The devil has so arranged things as to put one in this condition of frustration and anger, over what might be seen as injustice. That of course can and probably holds much water. But with my personal track record, I think it better to avoid it all and keep things in prayer, because God knows and does not make mistakes in Judgement. We have His Word in which His Character is brought into clear light and can be placed against all forms of accusations, both true and false. In the end, Goodness will prevail. Of that much, I am sure.
