Thanks for this provocative overview that can hopefully shine light into our vegan movement's incredibly important role in the healing of our society on every level, and help people see how important it is that we not let ourselves be divided against each other. As you say, the globalists are experts in dividing populations and getting them squabbling so they can be exploited and disempowered, and fear and violence are the tools they use. Our individual spiritual practices are essential to stay grounded in the deeper awareness and aware of the bigger picture, so that we are not afraid and vulnerable to their tactics, and also absolutely refusing to comply with toxic mandates and narratives, and refusing to ever view mainstream media at all. Ditch the TV, and listen within.

I really appreciate this thoughtful article. The nuances of the polarization that occurred in social subgroups is interesting. People like people like themselves. Big agro farming is a huge problem, how to transition is the problem. These farmers were corralled into this model then blamed for the problems it causes. You’ve captured how many good ideas have been twisted and are used to lure those with shallow vision into what I think would a dystopian nightmare, that I have to accept others will embrace.

Thank you Janine! Your clarity and commitment to veganism as a 'cure' for so much that is not working today in our world is inspiring, education, informative and just amazingly moving.

Apologies. I have rarely read a more self serving morass of non sequiturs. My hope is that a rationalist who is considering civilising their diet doesn't read this bollocks. An echo chamber with vegans who consider rationalism the enemy is one thing. This is public facing bullshit. Christ, I hope our enemies don't see this shite. This bollocks cannot be satirised. Fucking stop it

Hey Janine! This article articulates everything that I’ve been thinking about myself. I’ve been a vegan advocate for the last 19 years. I definitely felt the split in the in the communities when dealing with medical freedom over the last couple of years. I was amazed at how many vegans just went along with the narrative.

As a music artist that has been standing up for the animals in my songs, I suddenly felt the urgent need to stand up for humans in the same way. I never thought I would have to do that.

This whole landgrab situation and the farming protests have got me thinking in the exact ways that you have been talking about. And everything that you said resonates with me too. The globalists are probably not vegan; it just suits their agenda (and this divides vegan commutes). And just because the globalists are promoting plant-based diets, does not mean that people (who aren’t buying their narrative) should reject plant-based diets. lol

I’m so glad to know other people like yourself who are human freedom (and medical freedom) advocates and also animal liberation advocates. To me this all goes hand-in-hand. All beings should be free and sovereign. Big blessings! 🙏🏻💗

Thanks so much for connecting, Alex! It's true, our little vegan freedom tribe is surprisingly small, but bound by common sense and consistent values. I wonder if you know about Vox Vegana? Launched by a vegan freedom friend in England, maybe a good place to connect with the vegan freedom musician niche. Aaron's writing a musical called Camp Compassion, they're getting close to put it on the stage I think. https://www.linkedin.com/company/vox-vegana/

Wonderrful article, thank you for sharing, Janine. Wanted to mention that when we dig deeper- we find no evidence of a virus (lab derived or otherwise). There is an Initiative with 20 doctors and scientists (including former Pfizer CEO, Dr. Mike Yeadon) asking for virologists to participate by conducting studies to "prove" their hypothesis that viruses exist. Using methods, that they do not currently use, that are both blinded and unbias. Details from Dr. Sam Bailey here: https://odysee.com/@drsambailey:c/are-viruses-even-a-scientific-theory:2 . I became a vegan back in 1989 and my perception of the world totally change. I don't think I have had such an epiphany like that vegan experience until recently- understanding the strong held belief system of germs and that these beliefs are not evidence based (just like the long held belief system that we need cow's milk to get calcium) and certainly destructive to our health People are terrifed of others who are walking around simply breathing air while showing their beautiful faces. A form of superstition. As a vegan, I wish to empower others, including myself. Those who are causing fear to others are attempting to disempower, a cruel act that is the anti-thesis of veganism. And I have become freer as a person both mentally and spiritually because of this new found understanding of the science (or lack there of) of germ theory. And it wouldn't have likely happend if it wasn't for 2020 and the hysteria that took place. Although, I always understood the importance of terrain theory. Best of health to you!
