Why Facts and Logic Fail to Break Through the Mental Shields of America’s Left

Have you noticed that the left in America seems to be even more detached from reality today than in years past? I have.

Why Facts and Logic Fail to Break Through the Mental Shields of America's Left

Many are struggling in this economy. My family is among them. Please support what we’re doing here and help us to continue to spread the truth Americans need to read and hear.

I hear various theories all the time. The left is just “misinformed.” They’re “brainwashed.” They have a “psychological block” that prevents them from seeing the truth. While all of these have bits of evidence that could support them from a biased perspective, we’ve all known leftists who are fully informed, not brainwashed any more than the rest of us, and with seemingly valid reasons for their ideology.

Before we get into why it seems America’s left is often immune to facts and logic, let’s get a couple of things cleared up. We are addressing the ideological left because they seem to have the highest propensity for ignoring blatant facts and bulletproof logic that runs contrary to many of their basic worldviews, but let’s be honest. There are plenty of people on the ideological right who have the same characteristics. I just had a social media chat with a conservative acquaintance who is certain Israeli agents run Hamas and are launching the rockets at themselves so Benjamin Netanyahu has justification for taking over Gaza. There was no convincing him otherwise.

The other thing to get out of the way is the spoiler alert. Just so nobody complains that I had them read something without denoting that it has a supernatural conclusion, let me state up front that I believe the strong delusion currently shielding most on the radical left (and some on the right) from the truth is not of this world. I believe there are Powers and Principalities, a la Ephesians 6:12, at work with a spirit of derangement preventing people from comprehending reality. I believe this because we’ve all seen otherwise lucid and intelligent people deny unambiguous facts and ironclad logic in order to keep their unhinged worldview intact.

With that said, let’s look at three examples of facts and logic that cannot seem to penetrate the mental shields placed around America’s left.

Defund Police

This is a horrible idea prima facie. There is absolutely zero evidence that reducing or even eliminating police budgets will make the streets safer. With less than two dozen police killings of unarmed Black people per year, defunding police will increase the number of crime victims exponentially compared to the lives that are “saved” by taking cops off the streets.

Today, law enforcement officers are considered by millions of Americans to be their enemies. And it’s not just criminals who feel this way. There are people who truly believe they will be safer if all police officers were eliminated. Facts deny this. Logic definitely denies this. But the “Defund Police” movement continues to grow.

Hamas

Let’s be crystal clear about this. Hamas is a terrorist group that provoked attacks by Israel on Gaza through the launching of thousands of rockets aimed at Israeli civilians. They started this current conflict. But you won’t convince the millions of Pro-Palestinian American activists of this. In their eyes, Israel is the aggressor.

One does not have to agree with how Israel has handled the situation to realize that they clearly did not start the conflict. Yet Israel gets lambasted by world media and radical leftists for killing civilians when the reality is right there in front of us all. Nearly every civilian in Gaza who is killed can be directly attributed to the Hamas practice of using human shields. There’s a reason they launch their rockets from heavily populated areas and civilian centers, including schools, hospitals, and private buildings. It’s all part of their playbook. Israel uses their weapons to protect their people while Hamas uses its people to protect their weapons.

Don’t wait until food shortages get REALLY bad before stocking up. Get a three-month’s supply now while it’s still available.

Racism

This may be the most blatant delusion we’ve seen in years. The radical left is currently fighting racism with… racism. For example, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently declared she will only do interviews with “persons of color.” Imagine if a White mayor said he would only do interviews with White journalists. Would that be racist? Of course! But too few on the left see a problem with Lightfoot’s policy. It is 100% racist by definition, yet the delusion makes it seem acceptable to leftists.

Another example is opposition to the Georgia election integrity law. Media, celebrities, politicians, and “woke” corporations have claimed it’s racist. They claim this because they believe that since the law requires identification in certain voting instances and has forms that must be filled out for absentee ballots, that it’s harmful to Black voters. One does not need a Masters in Socio-Economics to realize that what they’re claiming is that Black people are less capable of getting ID or filling out forms than White people. Again, the left somehow misses the obvious reality that they’re being racist in their attempts to allegedly fight racism.

Strong Delusions

As I noted before, I cannot accept that tens of millions of Americans are too stupid or brainwashed to see through these blatant lies without a supernatural force compelling them. You don’t have to believe me. You can attribute it to the progressive education system in America indoctrinating people into blind leftism. You could say the constant barrage of leftist talking points on mainstream media has taken away critical thinking. You could even argue that endorphins prompted by social media affirmations that follow leftist virtue signaling has changed the wiring in their brains. All of these things are correct to some extent, but the lies that are believed without question by millions of leftists are so obvious, I’m sticking with my “spirit of delusion” theory as the underlying cause.

Even if you don’t believe me, we’re still in the same boat. What do we do about it? If facts and logic aren’t working, does that mean we have to give up? Should we all move to compounds in deep red states while we still can? For some, the answer to that last question may be “yes.” For me, I’m going to keep fighting.

First and foremost, we must arm ourselves with the truth. As I’ve said previously, social media is no longer the place to find the truth, if ever it was. I am reliant on conservative news aggregators and I strongly encourage readers to bookmark their favorites. Here are mine:

  • The Liberty Daily
  • Uncanceled News
  • 63Red
  • Conservative Playlist
  • Press California

Second, we need to tell the truth to all who will listen. This is more than just Tweeting out articles or leaving comments. We have to talk to people. It’s time to start “red-pilling” as many as we can. If I’m right and there’s a strong delusion spreading across the nation, then getting to people with the truth so they can protect themselves is important. If I’m wrong and it’s all just the evolution of politics as usual, then the need to spread the truth is even greater.

Lastly, and this is for my faithful readers, we must pray without ceasing. It’s becoming a lost art in America, especially with many churches still limited in reach through Covid restrictions and the decline in church attendance that has been increasing for years. Praying for our nation as Daniel did for his can have the most dramatic impact on our current situation.

It may seem futile, but we must not give up this fight. This is our nation and there are no viable alternatives. Stand up to the radical left with courage, faith, and truth. They want us to give up, to believe it’s all futile. When we believe it’s over, it will be.

We don’t allow Google ads here. We won’t post foot fungus treatments or soft-porn ads like other conservative news outlets. We WILL support MyPillow because they love America. You can support them and me by using promo code “JDR” at checkout.

‘The Purge’ by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us

Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.

For the last few months, NOQ Report, Conservative Playbook, and the American Conservative Movement have appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.

It wasn’t just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from “woke” Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. Both of our YouTube accounts were banned. Facebook “fact-checks” everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Medium canceled us. Apple canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss “taboo” topics.

The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can’t say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancellation, but we’d rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media’s lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they’ve convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.

The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an “anti-vaxxer” in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects, including death. One of our stories about the Johnson & Johnson “vaccine” causing blood clots was “fact-checked” and removed one day before the government hit the brakes on it. These questions and news items are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting canceled.

There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them. This is why we desperately need your help. The best way NOQ, CP, and ACM readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We are pacing to be short by about $3700 per month in order to maintain operations.

The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.

During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we’d like to be completely free from them. That doesn’t mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.

When preparing for societal collapse, don’t forget the water!

We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.

As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat

Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.

I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.

The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.

We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.

Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8

Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:

  • NOQ Report
  • Conservative Playlist
  • Truth. Based. Media.
  • Freedom First Network
  • Based Underground
  • Uncanceled News
  • American Conservative Movement
  • Conservative Playbook
  • Our Gold Guy

We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.

Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.

While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:

  • MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
  • ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
  • OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
  • MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.

We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).

Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
