Welcome to Jim Reagen’s substack! Not my real name; many will know me as the boy who graduated from Holland Central School in 1973. But since I live surrounded by people on the political left I feel some need to keep in the shadows.
This substack will be about where we are today and where it looks like we’re going, so a lot of politics and maybe other musings thrown in.
By way of introduction, I’m right of center but used to be left. In 2016 I would’ve voted for Bernie Sanders for president had he won the primary. I used to believe that government was there to level the playing field and protect the weak, but I’ve since come to believe that one needs to watch government very carefully and defend liberty.
The big news that many on the left (and a good portion on the right) don’t get is that we’re in World War III right now, and since to many ears this will sound incredible I’ll explain why many people believe this, and why this view is being heavily censored by the mainstream media. This is information warfare: we’re being told that reality is one thing but it’s really something different.
What’s happened is that Covid-19 is being used to destroy our liberties and herd us all into a mindset that says that “stay safe” is the most important thing and that anyone who doesn’t believe that is a granny killer. We’re supposed to believe the CDC and FDA and the WHO but these organizations have all been compromised and, frankly, they’re lying to us. The medical journals are in the game as well.
So there it is: a vast conspiracy! What are they lying about? They’re lying about the safety and efficacy of the Covid vaccines; the safe available treatments we had for Covid way back in March, 2020; the death rate from Covid and who’s dying; and the necessity for everyone to mask and social distance, among other things. Why are they doing this? Because they want to herd us all into a realm wherein everything we do will be monitored and managed in a digital social credit system very much like China’s; digital vaccine passports will be key to installing this system. Who’s doing this? Basically it’s the World Economic Forum with its many allies and partners, including Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, and China. In short, these global players want to destroy individual liberty and have us submit to a collective “greater good” that they’ve decided for us, and ostensibly this greater good is to keep us safe from Covid-19 and global warming and build a more just and equitable future. But much of what we’re told about Covid-19 is false, and global warming is pseudoscience. I can explain everything, I have references for everything and reasoning behind everything, and my hope is to walk those who don’t understand all this through to an understanding that yes, this really is happening, and yes, it really is a huge crisis for all of humanity.
There’s a large underground of people fighting this; they’re all being heavily censored and our own US government is slowly taking steps so they can censor more heavily and severely. Many physicians and scientists have spoken up; as soon as they do they’re labelled as handing out “misinformation” and shunned by the mainstream liberal press. They often lose their jobs or are otherwise threatened for speaking up. The situation is dire but anyone who believes in the liberal media will hear none of this; they’ll hear instead how terrible the epidemic of misinformation is and how we must do something about it.
This is huge. We need all hands on deck; this is for our children’s children’s children, so they can know what freedom is. For those new to this, figuring out where to start might be a problem. Maybe questions or comments are a starting point?
I’ve lost a lot of friends I used to have who listen to and believe NPR. I still listen to NPR almost every day but I no longer believe it. I’d like to explain why.
Who to listen to if you’re new to this? “The Federalist” is a good starting point. Also “Just the News” and “The Epoch News.” These are conservative-leaning news sources, but conservatives are the ones who care most about individual liberty and this is all about the grave danger to our liberty. I’d subscribe to substack and follow people like Tessa Lena (a brilliant young woman who I first thought must be a college professor,) Steve Kirsch, and Robert Malone, MD. Get off the mainstream liberal media, or at least be critical about what you’re told is “the news.” If you’re new to “the resistance” then trust me, it’s a daunting fire hose of information, and that’s maybe why a lot of people would rather turn on the TV and grab a beer. But we have to do this for future generations: we have to understand what’s happening and stop it before it’s too late.
"I’ve lost a lot of friends I used to have who listen to and believe NPR".
Yup, same here. I am also barred from visiting family (not vaxxed). My circle of friends has dwindled to very few.
My original newsletter (decades old) was directly mostly towards my peers: New Yorker/NPR peeps. The attrition rate over the past few years was really bad; so I came here to build back up a readership.
