One of the reasons to read Miri's essays is because more often than not I'm comfortable.

Putting the reader gently into that position helps thinking.

It is a friendly challenge - not over froth, but big ideas.

Miri brings an astounding level of observation and knowledge, which is something I like but am not as good at doing.... 'research'.

Delving into related organisations, countries, cultures and the history that entails, is highly informative and helps with pattern recognition.

It's a lot of work, but I know this process works - and it works well.

Where this approach comes unstuck is when an approach often used by national politicians is deployed - make it up (extreme example - BoJo).

Thank goodness Miri does not do this - and for her, greatness awaits.

Thank you, Andrew - and Hugh, and Leo - very much. What you say is enormously appreciated.

The level of work I've put in to forming my opinions the last 5yrs has been epically considerable, and cost me much personally and professionally. When it comes to Miri, all one can do is doff one's cap and support her hard yards imho, or do one's own.

That's about the size of it. There are few writers like Miri, and I don't automatically agree. But, the articles prompt me to look and research, to re-check my assumptions, and after many times being outside my comfort zone, I know this is where Miri operates.

It shows the gap between high profile types such as Mr Carlson where the listener has to just plug in ('send only'), and Miri where the reader or listener has to do some work too ('interactive').

Gosh - thanks for sharing that link to Companies House. Laura Dodsworth! WHAT a disappointment. And she has no Wikipedia page. Goodness. What to think?

Also, while I 100% agree with you they are trying to get people to riot (which I assume might happen in Epping?) I think it's *way* too important to a lot of people for a riot to be the end of it. I think a lot of people know that, if they loose their composure, it's all over and they are in prison. Having looked at a bit of the footage, there seem to be a lot of women and children. Those women are going to know that, if things don't change in their area their children aren't safe. And, if there's a riot, their children who are at the protest, also aren't safe. So, while there are bound to be pissed-up blokes who could easily be convinced to riot if it was Saturday night outside a pub, if a woman whose approval they want who does *not* want violence, it might stay under control.

This is the interesting thing about the whole Lucy Connolly thing - if it's supposed to influence people to behave "better" online and indicate that it's *not* OK to threaten violence at the migrant hotels, this might be a plan/programming clash. You can't arrest everyone if there are only a few guys kicking a police van. You can't call a protest off if it's a group who, while potentially aligned in how large groups of young men from abroad are housed within UK communities, aren't part of a political party or in any way affilitated. And, if they aren't violent, what are you going to do? Because, if they "win" (i.e. the hotel is no longer being used to house large numbers of foreign men with different cultural programming) then it's pretty clear to any interested community that that's how you do it. Sustained, peaceful protest.

I think if this cabal plan "fails" they have a bit of an issue on their hands re their next chess move!

"and if they aren't violent......" ummm they have paid violent protestors who start the violence and get everyone involved. they don't want peaceful protests that work, so they bring the violence. it's been done over and over and over again.

Yes, you're just taking the information available and making good sense of it. OK, so good pattern-recognition skills indicate a high IQ but how great do your pattern-recognition skills need to be? They do the same thing over and over, that's what gets me.

I've been considering writing a post on similar lines entitled, "If Revelation of the Method isn't the lens you apply, why isn't it?" A friend said to me "Revelation of the Method is your bible." No it's not MY bible, it's THEIR bible, and if they are going to use it every single time without fail then why wouldn't you apply that lens when you look at the media nonsense they drown us in 24/7? What's the alternative approach? Just swallowing it?

I never watch the news and only learnt of the Texas flood reading a post by Celia Farber. I've never noticed a psyop being attached to a flood event before but immediately the Masonic numbers jumped out in the post ... and then you have the nonsense rescue stories and all the usual. I just learnt a brilliant quote from Judge Judy mentioned by a reader:

"If something doesn't make sense, it isn't true."

I completely agree - you don't need to be particularly high IQ to see what is obvious! And lots of high IQ people don't see it, see all the academics and professionals who fell for "Covid". It's a lack of EQ as much as IQ.

Your final sentence is extremely pertinent indeed. I think I will build a future article around this...

Just want to give an example of how applying the Revelation of the Method (RoM) lens allows you to work out so quickly if something's fake.

Yesterday, in response to my sister telling a friend in Italy that she didn't worry about sharks when swimming in Australia, the friend mentioned a young Italian guy who'd allegedly had his leg bitten off by a shark in Queensland who actually filmed the attack with his GoPro that he just happened to be wearing at the time - reminds me of the infamous Nick Bickerstaff at Manchester (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3671647/harrowing-footage-shot-by-dad-searching-for-teen-daughter-in-manchester-arena-moments-after-bomb-blast/).

My sister asked me what I thought. I looked him up and found a story with an image of him on a beach with a parrot perched on his shoulder and the caption: "Matteo Mariotti in Australia prior to the shark attack." I said to my sister, "That parrot doesn't look Australian to me." She replied, "We have a lot of parrots." I knew it wasn't an Australian parrot and when I applied Google image search discovered it was an endangered African Grey parrot so the likelihood of Matteo being on a beach in Australia with an African Grey perched on his shoulder was just about zero. Moreover, it is very obvious that the background is fake.

Pattern recognition - it really doesn't take much ... but only if you don't want it to.

A lunar Scorpio you say? Maybe not. Hear me out Miri. I have loved astrology for decades, my boyfriend is awake for 2 minutes and discovers sidereal astrology (eastern tradition), tells me I'm a saggitarius not Capricorn as I've thought all my life (all my signs changed). I can't tell you how it feels to read things that sound like me, they just make sense. Sidereal uses the ACTUAL sky at the moment of your birth not the one THEY froze 2000 years ago. I truly believe that they have done this to confuse us and keep the real power of astrology from us. We know that THEY use it all the time but they will know the most accurate system and its not the mainstream western version. Mastering the zodiac is a great sidereal website that takes account of the fact that the constellations are not allowed equal. I used to be embarrassed about my interest in astrology but after waking up I see it is a powerful tool used by the elite in everything they do.

I've often noticed that the main patriotic protagonists are closely aligned with zios, which is a bit of a put off even when you may agree with some of the stuff they are saying..

And on contagion, I always wondered as a young man how all these doctors and nurses could go to Africa and aid the people dying of the most deadly diseases like ebola but not catch anything themselves..

Pattern recognition, yes, and also (for me), Intuition.

To access one's intuition needs inner knowledge, closeness to Nature, an open mind, etc. My intuition is always right (same for everyone), but sometimes I ignore it or interpret it wrongly. But I do try to respect and understand this great extra sense which we all have.

One of the cabal's favourite ploys is to ridicule and dismiss intuition. They are closed off from their own or they would not feel their desperate need to control the world.

How brilliant. I didn't know that aspect of IQ tests, thanks for describing.

Re making errors when assessing events, another reason is "red herrings" that are thrown into the pot. They're plausible conspiracy add-ons that have to be investigated, taking up our time, drawing sufficient discussion on social media to create a phenomenon to both set us up for ridicule and to dissuade normies from stepping away from the official narrative.

However I doubt you fall for these! You're as sharp as a new pin.

Keep safe

I believe there also many people who have undiagnosed moderate-severe ADHD and are on the spectrum but they/their family don’t realize it. One feature is inability to see the big picture called weak central coherence and I mean the big picture in their daily life, how will they see big picture in world events? They can also be very naive and fall for scams and distrust honest people. Great article as always

I think social media's effect on critical thinking has been profound.

The instant posts, instant reactions, give no room for debate, no reference to past events, no room for thought.

If enough people are in a thought free space, they can be easily led.....

Very true. Most people are responding to news events emotionally or reactionary.

Before I disagree, Anon1, can I clarify your point? Are you saying that there's a substantial number of people unable to recognise patterns (low IQ) because they have ADHD and/or autism. If so, what % of the population are afflicted in this way, would you say?

Expand full comment
Apple1's avatar

Yes but I wouldn’t call it low IQ. They can be very high iq and hyper focused on certain skills but struggle in other areas and especially seeing the big picture and we’re not talking about politics/world events here. One example I can think of is someone hyper focused on collecting expensive figurines yet their house is falling apart and they could care less, they will refuse to fix it, they don’t see the issue. A good book is Is This Autism? These are just my personal observations so take it with a grain of salt. I don’t know an exact percentage but higher than is acknowledged and a lot of that is not officially diagnosed, just friends and family struggling.

Another good essay Miri. Interesting subject which I would like to expand upon. I agree that pattern recognition is an element of IQ testing, but there are many other aspects also. I have very good pattern recognition skills but doubt my conclusions over and over and then kick myself when I’m right. There are several statements you make that I will argue about, the first is that academics have a high IQ and I don’t think that’s necessarily do, particularly these days. The second is that many of those with a high IQ are not good at pattern recognition. As an example, I joined a Mensa forum at the start of COVID and assumed that the people there would be able to see through the bullshit but alas no. These high IQ (supposedly top 2%) were as easily fooled as the 98% and the split between those that accepted the official narrative and those that didn’t broadly followed that of the general population. This surprised and disheartened me because I was seeking discourse similar to that which is provided here and I left in the end because of their inability to discuss anything without making it black and white. Critical analysis was not evident and I didn’t expect that. I love hearing different well argued points of view and I love having my ideas and beliefs challenged in a constructive way and can’t get enough of it. You have courage Miri, the courage to publish your ideas and to put your head above the parapet and obviously the courage to risk being wrong rather than a blind follower. Covid was a very instructive time in society and very uncomfortable for me and my Scorpio partner. I’m a Pisces and we like Scorpios 😁

To me, the problem isn't so much that people are fooled regardless of IQ - for years I was fooled myself - the problem is that when you point out discrepancies that undermine the narrative people argue against them even though they have absolutely nothing to argue with. It's amazing how people will find ways to argue against clear facts ... and there are always clear facts if for no other reason than Revelation of the Method is an essential part of the MO.

Many thanks for this article. I particularly appreciated the links to the Jakarta Post piece on Contagion, and the British Friends of Israel on Companies House. Wow.

Pattern recognition skills and IQ tests remind me of this attempt to explain "how to read the media" in the context of the BBC's Only Connect:

Intresting angle on IQ tests. I think rather than avoiding them we should all indulge in them only put in nonsenes answers we know are wrong. The whole system would fail.

Hi Miri, How does one define a Zionist? I believe that Zionists want the land promised to Abraham restored to the nation of Israel. I believe it is referred to as greater Israel. There are prophecies of God's promises to Israel yet to be fulfilled. Some Christians of a Reformed theological view do not believe this, and that the Church replaces Israel in Gods plan. I personally subscribe to the former view that there is more to come in Gods plans and purpose for Israel and the world. However I would not subscribe to the Zionist belief of greater Israel nor support what Israel are reported to be doing in Gaza. Both Hamas and the Israeli government adopt a supremacist attitude in view of their Holy Book convictions, which ensure continued hostility and subjection of the weaker part. Essentially it is a spiritual war. Whether British Friends of Israel are technically Zionists (as defined above) I am not sure. However to give carte blanche to Israel regarding what is reportedly happening in Gaza is not supportable. It is a war and as in all wars the first casualty is the truth.

Miri, in the NHS 10 year plan, there are clear prediction one can make if understanding the overview. And to counter the plan-we need everyone on board-patients and practitioners alike. Keeping them divided is unhelpful. Doctors are floundering, many of them, precisely because they are not seeing the long term plan. Would love to discuss this with you! Best, Gabi
