This was the letter I just sent to a friend who, to his credit, was very calm and respectful as he stated that he felt I was misunderstanding the current “pandemic”. I think it is worth sharing. With warmth and much respect, my friend, I must say this: Read my

Writings of J. Todd Ring: “It Depends Who You Talk To” – Relativism, Nihilism & Mass Insanity
Let’s get some things out of the way, right from the start. Our society is insane. Fromm was right, and there is no doubt about it. Illusions, delusion, lies and half-truths, distortions of the truth, avoidance of reality, denial, psychological numbness, narcissism and disociation are all epidemic. That is in
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Propaganda Lessons From History: A Very Short Review – 9/11 to the Coronavirus
Generally I post only essays I have written myself, on my blog. There have been a few exceptions for films, videos or articles that I feel are of exceptional importance – such as Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine, which we should all watch and read again, and which explains perfectly
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Chomsky On The Coronavirus: Perspective Is Urgently Needed
Chomsky clarifies the situation with the coronavirus, saying: it’s serious enough, but it represents not even a fraction of the biggest dangers we are facing, which are nuclear war, global warming, and the rising plague of neoliberal fascism. (Exactly what I have been saying since January, and before.) He began

A note to those on the right: Universal public health care is considered a basic human right in Canada, the UK, Europe, and every civilized country. It aslo happens to cost less than the private profit-driven US system – a lot less. So let’s not be too dogmatic. The
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Step Number One
Stephen Toulmin’s proposal of a return to a modest Renaissance humanism sounds wonderful (as a fresh start, so to speak, and only a start) compared to dogmatic ideology-fetishizing modernism on the one hand, or the arguably even worse alternative of polysyllabic post-modernist nihilism on the other. But when the people
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Trump Says Up, You Say Down: Psyops 101
Trump is a tool of the Deep State. He thinks he’s a brave rebel, at war with the Deep State. Or so he thought until the generals schooled him. Now he obeys orders. Trump may be unpredictable and a loose cannon, but by and large, the Deep State has him

The currently reigning political-economic orthodoxy, philosophy or ideology, both East and West, and in virtually every nation, with only a few exceptions, has rightly been called neoliberalism. What that means, is the merger of business and the state, which as Mussolini himself defined it, is properly called corporatism – which,

Who do we turn to for reliable health information? That is one of the critical questions we need to ask now. (Another is, when is it justified to suspend all civil rights, due process of law, and constitutional rule? Hint: never.) What the media is telling us is that: a)
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Media Failure, Again
Remember the Iraq War? Remember the lies that were passed off by the elite, and repeated by the media without question, without any fact-checking or investigation? Well, it’s happening again. But every time we repeat the mistakes of history, the stakes get higher. * On the eve of the

“Acting true to form as the US military-intelligence community propaganda agent it is, the Washington Post recently published an opinion piece asserting, “America Needs To Be on a War Footing.” In it, Danielle Allen asserts, “The appropriate analogy for this moment is Pearl Harbor… The country needs to transform to
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: MASS QUARANTINE, POLICE STATE MEASURES, PROVEN UNJUSTIFIED
A report from the Italian government confirms what should have been obvious weeks ago: the virus danger is vastly exagrated, mass quarantine is utterly unjustified, and the draconian responses are infinitely more dangerous than the virus itself. Bloomberg picked up the story on the Italian government report. GreenMedInfo reports on

An excellent live webstream discussion was given last night by Sayer Ji, the founder of GreenMedInfo – the best source I know of for science-based health information. His remarks offer a calm, well-reasoned, fact-based entry into the discussion as to what in the world is really going on with the

While the world is currently in Chamberlain mode (denial), it may soon go to Vichy/Quisling mode (collaboration & surrender – giving up). Despite his enormous faults, we need people like Churchill now: “We shall never surrender.” JTR, March 22, 2020 #FightTheFascists Here is Churchill’s famous speech: https://youtu.be/MkTw3_PmKtc via @YouTube

Governments and corporations, and the state-corporate media they control, systematically distort or conceal the truth, peddle illusions and starkly deceitful false narratives, and lie. (Does anyone remember Iraq’s WMDs?) This is political-economy and media studies 101. Unsurprisingly, vested interests tend to serve their own narrow interests – and routinely

Thoughts on Trump, the Deep State, Psyops & the Virus: Explains what is happening now…. The Shock Doctrine (film). The deep state steers Trump. (Demonstrated fact.) Smart move would be to nudge him to dismiss the coronavirus as over-hyped. (Speculative as to nudging, but he did.) Then the lemmings will

Strolling just now, with my belle and my boy, enjoying the spring day, trying not to worry too much about the mass insanity which has gripped the people, as fear and panic are daily manufactured, and a virus that has 1% the death toll of the common flu is hyped

Just over 100 deaths in the US from the coronavirus, and what is the government response? Fascist lockdown. The pattern is the same across the Western world, mirroring the police state which is China. Fascist lockdown. People are hysterical over a virus that kills fewer than bathtub drownings, motor

#Coronavirus.hype=fascist.machinations See my blog, and Trends Journal Bernie is great. But the big picture needs to be seen. He and we are up against fascism now: not just plutocracy, but plutocracy’s iron heel. JTR, March 18, 2020

Four explanations of coronavirus outbreak: 1. Standard narrative of Western governments and media: natural virus, extreme danger, draconian measures needed, justified 2. Weaponized biowarfare virus accidentally leaked from Wuhan BSL4 bioweapons lab 3. US elites (military industrial complex, or deep state) launched biowarfare in hybrid war with China, without informing
