When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax a little and use more normal means of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock—to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures. - Flannery O’Connor,
I caught your interview with Tucker this morning then immediately read your post. Brilliant. As a Boomer and a Christian wife, mom, grandmother and business owner, I'm smiling today knowing that there are young brave men out there willing to fight for truth. Thanks! (From a small town in KY)
I also arrived via Carlson's interview. While Twitter freedom did mark change in discourse, many of us had been drawn to SubStack as a result of the excesses of the pandemic. Huge numbers then found the platform where alternate theories could be debated among the like minded and we were not drowned out nor cancelled for thinking masks and other mitigation actions were failing. It didn't help that media was going on daily with dire warnings which were beyond silly stoking fear in way too many - needless fear.
So the dam broke when the public, at large, refused the boosters. They were discarding fear and were questioning the media dogma because they could observe for themselves. And the voices within SubStack had become public knowledge.
I can see the valiant effort on X to push J6 as a way to discredit Trump, but I suspect many now question the government's overreach. We do seem at a turning point where we are beginning to really distrust much of what the media is saying - perhaps because they repeatedly are found in error.
We see Carlson't large audience and many tuning into alternative media, like NewsNation, for other opinions. While Fox News remains king, others are failing to reach an audience. We are quite willing now to be contrarian in our views and not worry so much about the nonsense among the foolish young on campus. Hopefully this is a trend back to some cultural norm where we are comfortable thinking for ourselves.

Not for this Boomer! I am 71, have never had cable, so never watched Fox, ditched mainstream news many years ago, and found alternative sources. I am unvaccinated because I saw that something was wrong and later research proved that to be abundantly true.
Viewer stats show that Fox demographics include way more than Boomers. OTOH, not sure why I bothered to respond. Most media platforms have become quite predicable, thus boring. They are all dominated by ad revenue and Fox revenues are better than the others; adverts do respect the demographics - Boomers don't buy much stuff anymore.
Can't quite be sure about that stat anymore. OTOH, "In November 2023, Fox News was the most watched cable news network in the United States and continues to do well in terms of its primetime audience, with 1.72 million primetime viewers in that period. Fox News viewers in the 25-54 demographic amounted to 199 thousand, whilst MSNBC had just 109 thousand. " (https://www.statista.com/statistics/373814/cable-news-network-viewership-usa/). Which says that younger folk don't watch news much anyway. "In 2022, both prime-time and daytime cable news audiences increased for Fox News but decreased for CNN, MSNBC and Newsmax." (https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/cable-news/). Fox viewership increased in '22 as others decreased. (Pew).
Um, what was the point to be made? For those that get their news from TV, most are watching Fox. The really sad truth is way too many get no news at all, IMHO. Who knows how they decide how to vote? I enjoy Baier and Cuomo as presenters; once liked CBS as a network but they no longer make a pretense of balance. The others networks and presenters are much too partisan for my taste. BTW I'm older than Boomers should it matter.
I also found my way here via Tucker, and I want to quibble with one point in your brilliant, inspiring essay: there *are* young ladies out there who are WIDE AWAKE and rolling their eyes at the nonsense every day. They're just not loud and obnoxious like the pink-hat crowd, so you don't notice them. Look harder! Together, you all will change the world 😊
I agree. In my world it is the men who are NOT doing much and it is the women. But I figure Santiago deals in tech and business startups which may be male dominated. I created a Foundation ... Let Kids Be Kids NZ, to help parents to find their brave. Some mums are finding their brave. Very few dads have, yet. So I listen to understand why. And I encourage them to remember who they are. Protectors, guardians. Support the women who are doing everything to protect our children. AND BE GOOD ROLE MODELS
Please stop promoting the division between the sexes. There are useful tools in both, and division among the people is EXACTLY what facilitates the wannabe totalitarians, whether is is division by politics, race, sex, age or any new "group" they make up.
It was male and female doctors that spoke out against the jab and mandates. It has been people in each sex who have sued and fought for freedom, clean voting, and truthful information. A male bought Twitter, which is a subject of this substack.
A group of C.E.5 protocol people I work with are mostly women, they seem to be braver than the men, the girls are doing a great job of raising world consciousness.
There are a lot of us seniors out there who are awake, refused the jab, reject the masks, and went to substack, GAB, OANN, and independent media early on even before the jab and Covid. I heard in an interview it only takes a small percentage of people to refuse a push for change. Look how the jab mandates have died and now they are on to something else like WWIII and the WHO "treaty." Refuse by using cash whenever you can and the CBDC, will collapse. Speak truth.
Great post, SP. I live in NYC and can say from experience that many people I encounter seem to be sensing the shift, even if they're still hesitant to admit that they've noticed and regard it as a welcome change.
Thank you for speaking out so wonderfully! I just read your words to my husband and now we both have some hope. We are New Yorkers- hoping that a sea change will come1
I mentioned your interview and your Substack in my post for today:
BREAD&CIRCUSES: Great Reset Humor Roundup (April 7, 2024)
The transgender Seattle public defender with Triple D breasts, the mansions of Ukraine’s corrupt politicians & bureaucrats, Scotland’s Humza Yousaf hates the colour white & more Great Reset humor!
I made the shift back in 1977 and have been wondering what is taking everyone so long. Thus my motto on my Substack picture... Most people are just mediocre minded cowardly conformists because it's comfortable and simple. I'm not one of those people.
And, if I may, there are those of us older folks who care deeply about this country and what is going on currently that simply didn't know about the existence of sites like Substack.
Finding the platform and participating in the various discussions has been helpful. The writers have the freedom to police their bit of the internet as they please. I find rude people get managed well and am pleased that most interactions are civil. I rarely feel drowned out by seemingly professional attackers. That often happened on Twitter, in the pre-Musk days. All in all, a good platform for exchanging with others. Glad to see SubStack getting noticed.
I was surprised to hear Substack mentioned as the vehicle for Santiago's hopeful post. I think of it as a writer's platform that few know about. I have also found the feedback and comments helpful and the hostile 🧌 manageable. So grateful they didn't capitulate to the calls for censorship.
Substack has been a lifeline for true journalism for some time now, but it was really shown to be a lifeline during the pandemic when Legacy media perpetuated the lies on an unprecedented scale. Legacy media is dead.
I have fairly strong doubts as to the long-term prospects of staying in NYC. Due to a number of factors -- namely the preponderance of Democrats/Progressives at the levers of local governmental power -- I expect continual decline, perhaps to the point that it enters a downward trajectory like that of Detroit in the 1970s.
I'm so sorry. I said goodbye to my beloved city by the big lake about 12 years ago. It's done nothing but decline; the mayoral 'leadership' going from bad to worse. It makes me really sad.
I've just caught you with TC on X.....ah yes X.... I was SO happy to listen to a young person with hope and the will to do. I knew it would come. It's terrible to think that my generation is (I'm 73...) doom and gloom "Scandinavian dark soul" ( love that, TC) and always saying the world is going down the tubes...(WW2!!?) Come on guys, give the kids a break and give them a chance. They can and will do it. We may not understand how, us ol' fogeys, doesn't mean they (you) don't. Loved it. I was yelling with joy by the end. Thank you 🙏🙏🕉️💃🦸
Ironic to learn about you on Tucker Carlson today. I had been thinking just the other day that all the chaos going on is a lot of projection designed to protect the hierarchy. That maybe things are actually getting better now that the curtain is being opened. Just like it did for the great and powerful Oz.
We are shifting whether anyone likes it or not, the question was asked but for how long and how can we steward it?
We often find ourselves sobbing several times a day in public and private because we know deeply changes are happening for the better, sobs of gratitude wouldn't be happening unless we felt change may actually take hold.
The LONGING felt inside isn't our own, it's collective and spiritual in nature, we want others to experience the same longing because power comes of it.
We hope more people write about the vibe shift and what it offers humanity because it's real and immense courage to fight is harnessed from it.
The old programming has to go, humanity deserves much more, and is capable of goodness rather than evil.
FYI, I came here via your interview with Tucker Carlson.
I'm an expatriate West Coaster living in Sweden for 22 years (married a Swede).
I feel I'm out of touch with the USA, even though I visit family for a month every year.
I'm about to visit again, so I will now check on the 'vibe' as far as I can detect it in Phoenix, Southern Oregon and Northish California.
From Stockholm the USA seems a mess. I worry about two of my grandchildren, the youngest ones, who still live in California. The other descendants are 40 to 60 years old; I am biologically programmed not to worry about them (in this context).
I have no solid feeling for how the younger generations are affected by the smart phone and like 'advancements' in communication and game technology, but I know I don't like it.
My wife has some wonderful young grandchildren, one of whom I am close with, geographically and in the family sense. I see him growing up well and am encouraged by this. I have been designated by his mother as his English language coach (English is over 90% spoken here, and mostly very well) so I will be able to tune in when the coaching starts (another couple months, I think).
I like your optimism--it is needed. It's hard for an old fart who has seen the deterioration since the end of WWII. The music was so much better decades ago...
I thought perhaps it was cognitive dissonance, but "The Vibe Shift" absolutely describes what I am experiencing. Thank you for the equally fascinating and thought provoking blog. Your writing makes me feel hopeful.
One of the main consequences of the Vibe Shift is the the country's realization we are living in a dystopian medical fascist world (more people have died of the covid vaccine than the virus). It is time the government pulls a real third world banana republic move (not that they haven't done so on many fronts already) and nationalize the vaccine industry, turning it into a non-profit. Then Congress will be able to rescind the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 which gives pharma complete immunity from lawsuits when their products harm someone. I say "then Congress will be able" because until they do, they are owned by Pharma with all the political contributions they receive and they can't bite the hand that feeds them. Take away the natural predator (lawsuits) and the species flourished (the vaccine schedule went from about a dozen shots in the 1970s to about 75 today!). What do you think?
You are 1,000 % correct. Pharma has our government leaders by the B A L L S. This is why I shut down listening to "legacy" media 13 yrs ago and upped my participation in groups that entertain while educating in areas such as Human Rights and Drug Free World. Oh yeah, and Citizens Commission on Human Rights as well.
Why would anyone want to nationalize the Murder, Inc. industry, aka "vaccine" industry? It's deadly chemical-based biotechnology. If you still count "vaccines" as a benefit to mankind after all the deaths, disabilities and illness they are responsible for, sufficient to want to preserve them as some kind of beneficial industry that's best governed under non-profit guidance then you're not paying attention. Isn't the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation a non-profit? Wellcome Trust? All of the nonprofits that pushed "vaccines" into minds and arms?
Pharma isn't evil because it's too much private for-profit industry. Pharma is evil because the products it makes and peddles as life-saving are life-taking. There's literally nothing that Big Pharma makes that is better than the natural healing products that God provides in our environment he created for man's sustenance and wellness. Food is medicine. Herbs are medicine. Flowers are medicine. Roots are medicine. Sunshine is medicine. Fresh air is medicine. Clean water is medicine. Fungi is medicine.
All of the above isn't patented. Big Pharma is patented poison. Any imaginary wall between government/nonprofit ownership and corporate for profit ownership of that industry is imaginary in a world and economic system where government and corporations - for profit and non profit - are one and the same for all intents and purposes. Merchants of death. Murder, Inc. under new ownership is still Murder, Inc.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. How would you suggest we get Congress to rescind the '86 Act? In my view, that is the first step in holding Pharma accountable for their crimes, something I suspect you'd support.
That will only happen when people who are not corrupt, cowards or evil constitute a majority of Congress. So the true question is what do we do about it until then?
My suggestion that people who are awake stop taking Big Pharma poisons. There's not one that is necessary. Some may need to wean themselves off the poisons, their body's chemical toxicity after years of poisoning can't handle rapid detox.
Transition our health into our individual responsibility first by getting exercise, sunlight and fresh air. Eating nutritious foods, close to source, unprocessed. Incorporating herbs, minerals, roots, oils, flowers, etc into our health routines, eliminate frequency-emitting devices as much as practicable. Surround self with sources of love and joy, connection with nature. Restructure our belief system to view nature as our ally trying to heal us, not our adversary trying to kill us. Greedy, power-hungry God-less man and isolation from nature is deadly to us. Finding connection to God, Almighty and acknowledging him as our Lord who rules over all man, instead of prostrating self to wicked would-be man gods.
That's what we all can do individually to render Big Pharma powerless to harm us. Requiring no violence. The powers that be would love violence to justify their abusive militancy and injustice. Just make them irrelevant.
You're a brainwashed drug addict. Deserving of your life misery.
You have no idea of the power of natural healing, including pain management. You slander that which you do not know. Just like a typical drug addict.
Keep on with your toxic chemistry destroying your kidney and body chemistry that destroys your brain. Your consciousness is so diminished you don't even realize its gone. I pity you.
It does. I adhere to Newton's law stating that a body in motion stays in motion until it meets an equal and opposite force. You attacked. I meet your attack with equal and opposite force. And give no ground to attackers.
You are spot on my friend! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and allowing us to be reminded of “hope” and “grit”, as well as, the strength of moral character in many young American men!
My first Substack article. I’m an old guy following Tucker. Wish i had my life to live over again. It would be an honor to hang out with you and your cohorts. Forge on!
Amazing, inspiring read, from someone who is suddenly aware that he’s been too “black pilled.” I, too, came here via Tucker. I write my own Substack, don’t know if it’ll show up or not since I just got the app (I’m away from my desk) in order to read the whole article. Whatever, I can always post it later. Let’s move forward and build something! (As an ex-academic I have a few ideas.).
This gives me great hope for my grandchildren. Inspiring and encouraging for the young people who are tired of pretending. The ‘current thing’ has gone completely insane.
I caught your interview with Tucker this morning then immediately read your post. Brilliant. As a Boomer and a Christian wife, mom, grandmother and business owner, I'm smiling today knowing that there are young brave men out there willing to fight for truth. Thanks! (From a small town in KY)
Saw a clip on Telegram of the article and made my way on over haha.
Amen.
It’s been known for a long time that psychological warfare is largely based on morale, destroying the enemy’s morale while maintaining one’s own.
A lot is done to keep people’s morale low, flooding the field with dystopian predictive programming and banal stories that hide the truth.
But I’m an optimist and believe there are many reasons to look forward to defeating the Luciferian Borg Cube and rebuilding civilization.
As the saying goes, “the devil always overplays his hand.”

Fox is king for Boomers only.
Not for this Boomer! I am 71, have never had cable, so never watched Fox, ditched mainstream news many years ago, and found alternative sources. I am unvaccinated because I saw that something was wrong and later research proved that to be abundantly true.

Hi Penny,
A group of C.E.5 protocol people I work with are mostly women, they seem to be braver than the men, the girls are doing a great job of raising world consciousness.
Best, Greg.
... "why did you let me make bad life-choices Mommie?" No Daughter ever asked .
There are a lot of us seniors out there who are awake, refused the jab, reject the masks, and went to substack, GAB, OANN, and independent media early on even before the jab and Covid. I heard in an interview it only takes a small percentage of people to refuse a push for change. Look how the jab mandates have died and now they are on to something else like WWIII and the WHO "treaty." Refuse by using cash whenever you can and the CBDC, will collapse. Speak truth.
We need those young ladies to start speaking up, not fight but speak up. Lets leave those days of fear behind and embrace this “VIBE SHIFT”
Us women have a lot to do with where our societies are right now, and this is not an accusation.
We went astray somewhere and now it’s time to turn around without blaming or emotionally reacting.
Great post, SP. I live in NYC and can say from experience that many people I encounter seem to be sensing the shift, even if they're still hesitant to admit that they've noticed and regard it as a welcome change.
Glad to hear it can at least be felt!

That was just the earthquake you felt last week
NYC is one of the ground zeros of the 'old' vibe. Will it change meaningfully or superficially?
I have fairly strong doubts as to the long-term prospects of staying in NYC. Due to a number of factors -- namely the preponderance of Democrats/Progressives at the levers of local governmental power -- I expect continual decline, perhaps to the point that it enters a downward trajectory like that of Detroit in the 1970s.
I wouldn’t count New Yorkers out just yet. The way they responded to de Blasio’s snitch line during Covid was a thing of beauty. True American spirit.
I'm so sorry. I said goodbye to my beloved city by the big lake about 12 years ago. It's done nothing but decline; the mayoral 'leadership' going from bad to worse. It makes me really sad.

Since 2020, many are coming to the same conclusion. Thanks for reading, Marcus!

Surround self with sources of love and joy, connection with nature. Restructure our belief system to view nature as our ally trying to heal us, not our adversary trying to kill us. Greedy, power-hungry God-less man and isolation from nature is deadly to us. Finding connection to God, Almighty and acknowledging him as our Lord who rules over all man, instead of prostrating self to wicked would-be man gods.
That's what we all can do individually to render Big Pharma powerless to harm us. Requiring no violence. The powers that be would love violence to justify their abusive militancy and injustice. Just make them irrelevant.
THAT👆👆👆👆spot on!
You're a brainwashed drug addict. Deserving of your life misery.
You have no idea of the power of natural healing, including pain management. You slander that which you do not know. Just like a typical drug addict.
Keep on with your toxic chemistry destroying your kidney and body chemistry that destroys your brain. Your consciousness is so diminished you don't even realize its gone. I pity you.
It's rich, though, that you would make an allusion to things which I do not know.
The natural world has done great things for your soul, obviously.
It does. I adhere to Newton's law stating that a body in motion stays in motion until it meets an equal and opposite force. You attacked. I meet your attack with equal and opposite force. And give no ground to attackers.
I didn't attack you. I disagreed with you, civilly. The viciousness of your response inclines me to think you are a shrieking Cluster B case.
Thank you for having your eyes open.
You are spot on my friend! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and allowing us to be reminded of “hope” and “grit”, as well as, the strength of moral character in many young American men!
My first Substack article. I’m an old guy following Tucker. Wish i had my life to live over again. It would be an honor to hang out with you and your cohorts. Forge on!
It’s never too late. Do it now. Young men need access to the wisdom that can only come from decades of real life.

Amazing, inspiring read, from someone who is suddenly aware that he’s been too “black pilled.” I, too, came here via Tucker. I write my own Substack, don’t know if it’ll show up or not since I just got the app (I’m away from my desk) in order to read the whole article. Whatever, I can always post it later. Let’s move forward and build something! (As an ex-academic I have a few ideas.).
This gives me great hope for my grandchildren. Inspiring and encouraging for the young people who are tired of pretending. The ‘current thing’ has gone completely insane.
