Piers Robinson of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies has noticed that propagandists don’t like it when scholars study and analyze their propaganda. His latest ruminations on “The Perils of Studying Propaganda” begins with the observation: “Acknowledging that powerful actors pour huge resources into managing the ‘information environment’, in order to manipulate perceptions, attitudes and behaviours, tends to play havoc with assumptions underpinning much of liberal political science.” The propaganda-saturated COVID era, he argues, made it even more obvious that such is indeed the case. But even absent COVID, people who annoy the biggest propagandists, from Julian Assange (thorn in the side of the US empire) to Prof. David Miller (who had the temerity to
To hide the real US intention behind Syria bases (ie support for creation of a puppet Kurd state that will encompass the oil of kirkuk and undermine neighbouring Islamic states) we had trump "honestly" admit we are there for the oil, only to spin away from the truth. Similarly the repeated trump "China virus" accusations were all along meant to hide the truth ie Covid was a US bio weapon. THE COVID VIRUS IS ONLY FONDU IN BAT'S IN CHINA, that explains why the US/fauci/NIH would ODDLY fund all research activity at a CCCP lab in Wuhan that may be expected to be totally under Chinese security control, to get their hands on the virus as a bioweapon. But review trumps "China virus" (despite WHO) rantings videos, it was the great satan hiding the truth. All work further to the samples cunningly thus obtained from Wuhan was done at Fort Detrick bio weapons lab, which has now been closed.
Well, that's one way of looking at it. Another interpretation: I succinctly outlined a hypothesis, and without offering any arguments against it, Piers endorsed it as a possibility, not a certainty, using somewhat vague language. I understand why he would speak that way - if he agreed with me more forthrightly, he might get witch-hunted yet again in the media.
I cancelled a previous Truth Jihad membership (maybe in late 2021/early 2022) out of frustration with this particular pet theory being brought up in seemingly every interview. I recently subscribed here on Substack because of the good work you've been doing wrt to the situation in Gaza, but I've gone ahead and unsubscribed again.
All theories regarding Covid are peculiar. I suspect that was intentional and that there were multiple causes of reported symptoms. I had bronchitis in 2020 and was able to find a physician in the Washington, DC area to treat me. Eventually, I got antibiotics from an underground pharmacy in Florida. Had I gone to an emergency, I might have been declared a Covid patient and murdered.
COVID & the jab were 2 parts of the same bioweapon. The originators should be hanged drawn & quartered for destroying society everywhere

I thought Piers did a nice job of gently pushing back against Kevin's peculiar pet theory regarding Covid.
