If you’ve been bewildered by Trump’s most recent pushes for the vax, it does appear to me that Clif High is right. Trump’s language is often coded, his remarks actually comms. Specifically now, and increasingly, he is using his language to gauge the shifting percentages from Woke to Awakened, Sleeping Normie to Critical Thinking “pureblood” — and various groups in between. By which I mean, not CTPBs who, having done our own research, would never change our minds and get the vax no matter what he says, but Sleeping Normies who, already vaxed, have either gotten covid or other disease or disability since, which makes them, finally, eventually, and likely, at first very reluctantly, begin to ask questions.

With that in mind, I think this the best commentary on the Clif High’s recent post, here excerpted to just this question.

Clif High’s take on why Trump’s saying what he has about the jab

In short, Trump knows damn well that the purebloods aren’t going to get the jab. He’s addressing the vaxxed normies, who will be thrilled that he agrees with them, but then will likely fall into cognitive dissonance, since they’ve been in the spell of hating Trump (also called Trump Derangement Syndrome) for over five years (thanks to incessantly repeated MSM propaganda). In other words, he’s using his remarks to squish and dissolve the edges between the frozen political divide that threatens to ignite into civil war.

However . . . the very brilliant Dr. David M. Martin does not agree with the 5-D chess idea. He thinks that in order to govern well you must be transparent and tell the truth. Period. Therefore, to play people with comms like Trump does, is to continue the corrupt lying hell we’ve been in ever since, really, the 17th century with the tobacco and opium trade. In other words, the bottom line for our society from its very inception, says Martin,  is ADDICTION. I would tend to agree, but must add one more, GENOCIDE — of Native Americans.

Which means, claims Martin, that Big Pharma’s DRUGS are the simply latest iteration of a long-standing tradition.  And that nobody gets into political office without their patronage. Yep.

Martin used to claim that Trump had inadvertently surrounded himself with the wrong advisors, re: Covid. Now he claims that Trump, knowing the truth, must have been bribed to lie, by Big Pharma.

Me: Trump, bribed? Absurd. He’s too wealthy for that to even be a temptation.

Re: Addiction, notice that Trump is one of the few people in the world who doesn’t drink alcohol and never has. Nor has he ever smoked cigarettes. He’s shmoozed with the big boys at their parties, SOBER.

Trump himself said that he regretted some of his advisors during his presidency, when asked by Candace Owens, “what do you regret, what would you have done differently.”

Interesting that Candace Owens would choose to focus on this part of the interview she did recently with this question, and his answer. (Start after minute one.) “What would you have done differently in your presidency, if you had a chance to do it over.” He immediately answered that he would have changed some of the people he had around him. He added that he wouldn’t go into who they were with her, but that he would at a later date. Yes, she said soothingly, something like, “too bad you couldn’t trust everyone who advised you. Some were snakes.” And his answer to her was, I feel, extremely revealing. Something like “Oh there will always be snakes. In politics. In business, too. It always happens. It’s unusual to go through a long period of time and everything’s perfect.”

I would tend to agree, having experienced snakes in my life as well, especially during periods when I am “getting something done,” and need help. Not all of those who join me can be trusted, as I discover later.  It’s wise to realize that there will always be those who want to piggy back off others’ accomplishments, or to derail them, or pretend to help when they are not. Enough said! The point is to recognize the corruption when it occurs as soon as possible, and clear out the corrupting energy. 

If there wasn’t the possibility of being fooled, that would mean that all humans always use their free will in the correct manner. But if they did, could we really call it “free”? We are human, all-too-human. I dare any of us to claim that we have always, without exception, chosen wisely. 

Concerning the vax: Trump continues to claim that everybody is free to make their own choices. Yes. Period.
