I am excited to share with you that I am making a social-media and news exodus. When I share the reasons as to why, some of you might relate, some of you might not relate. Some of you might be inspired, some of you might be offended. Some of you might want to do the same, some of you might not. All responses are what they are. There is no right or wrong, no good or bad. It is only your reaction out of an infinite multitude of reactions, shaped by the “lenses” of your belief system, a structure that has been altered by the sum-total of all the experiences you have ever had since you were born. You have them, I have them. We all have them. They’re analogous to applications running in a computer or smartphone. Some of yours align with some of mine, some of them do not. And that is ok. What I do ask is that you just sit back, read and let it marinate. I ask that you please resist the temptation to correlate it with whatever you think you know or do not know. I just ask that you do your own research, formulate your own conclusions, being careful not to buy into others’ speculation or assumptions, especially if it is information derived from the global, corporate-media cartel and hegemony as has been definitively proven beyond any shadow of doubt to be toxic.

Corporate or “mainstream” media, as it is today, is a field or chasm of lies and deceit. It is a cacophony of distorted semantics and narratives designed purposefully to manufacture and sculpt public opinion that serves governments and the global corporatocracy they constitute. There are brilliantly deviant forces behind a warped, network of disinformation channels, the depths of which compare to the darkest corners of the Mariana Trench. It is NOT as it seems. As I suggest, do your own research.

Social Media is exactly as the name suggests, the news “media” of society. Media is not designed to provide truth or to educate. Media is designed to project thoughts and ideas onto the screen of the mind to capture and manipulate our attention for two typical reasons, shape opinion and beliefs aka “brainwashing” and to sell goods and services. Beliefs are typically formed in two main ways, through repetition and/or trauma. This was particularly evident during and after the events of 9/11 which were capitalized by a brilliantly orchestrated ensemble of repetitive and traumatic narratives that certainly shaped opinion and beliefs around the world. This is not an analysis of the events of 9/11, I merely used that saga as an example of a case where both repetition and trauma can be and were used in concert to create and further shape beliefs in the mind. Another more contemporary example of repetition and trauma is in the unfolding of the current coronavirus pandemic. Information has been continuously captured, distorted, politicized, packaged into bite-sized morsels and force-fed into society like an avian mother victualing her young. Swallow-up babies, or lest ye starve to death…at least that is the agenda that power platforms around the world would have us believe. The truth is things are NOT as they seem. As mentioned before, do your own research.

The previous paragraphs explained from “what” I am decoupling. Now I will describe the “why.” The reason why I am decoupling from social media and news agencies is quite simply because it is making me sick. I am sick in the mind and in the heart due to the effects that news and social media have had on them over decades of exposure. The creation and propagation of the following dystopian and Orwellian topics will hopefully give you a sense of the sheer magnitude of this self-described sickness such that you will gain an understanding of my “why.”

I am sick of ALL political or politicized rhetoric surrounding:

• The Reality TV show known as US election process particularly as it is influenced by the sham known as the US two-party “Demopublican” political system and how it has destroyed our Democracy
• Origins, spread, effects and treatments of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, especially how that information has been hijacked to influence thought and behavior on an unprecedented scale for political gain and power
• Causes, perceptions, effects and solutions related to civil unrest movements/protests
• Causes, perceptions, effects and solutions of climate change
• Causes, perceptions, effects and solutions of poverty, disease and world hunger
• Religion
• Abortion
• Gun laws
• Gender, Race, Sexual Orientation and their respective inequalities

I am sick of The continued normalization and obfuscation of the following:

• The decay, violation and abolishment of US constitutional civil liberties
• The scam known as the fiat-based monetary banking system and underlying interest-based debt slavery system
• The follies and destructive effects of unhinged Capitalism
• The monopolistic, unchecked and unyielding power of energy Cartels/Brokers
• Influence and privacy encroachment of Big Tech, particularly the monetization of society’s behavioral patterns for corporate gain and unbridled, targeted marketing
• Influence and power of Big Pharma, particularly its adverse effects on the physical and mental health of humanity in the name of profits and financial gain
• Corruption and monetization of Big Education
• The existence of an unhinged National Security State and its adverse, destructive effects at home and abroad
• A self-sustaining, self-controlled Military Industrial Complex led by the most powerful, perverted defense contractors on the planet brandishing such a vulgar display of power that threatens the very existence of mankind hundred-fold
• The existence and destructive nature of Secret Societies
• Existence of layers upon layers of shadow government departments formed and financially backed without the consent and purview of Congress and the public in general

I am sick and disgusted by all the rhetoric and misdirection surrounding ALL of it and thereby choose to extricate myself from its tentacles by unplugging from the swirling cauldron of noise and baseless argument known as news and social media in all its hideous forms. Instead, I choose to focus my precious time and energy on the more productive and fulfilling practices of healing my mind, body and soul through a volley of personal and professional development, the nurturing of valued, precious relationships, objective research in science/spirituality and the continued practice of physical fitness. All of this, because I say so.
