Great recommendations. IAF, now Unshadowed, has gone through persecution and come out of it with greater perception and deeper understanding of our enemies. He was very informative before. He is of critical import now. His recent report on Big Ag altering soil biomes with GMO bacteria was alarming, but reflects his expertise. UK Column are extraordinary reporters with common sense perspective that inevitably cut to the heart of matters that matter. The others I am less familiar with, but I am sure they are worthy of your high regard.
I give Campbell credit for being able at all to overcome his faith in the status quo, particularly given the depth of his indoctrination, status, and prior dedication to it. He isn't the most agile minded genius that immediately perceived inconsistencies in The Science, but had to discover that via his plodding, meticulous method. His dedication to fact and data are what overcame his faith - and he dragged an audience along with him that would have not understood the truth without him. The accusation he did harm is true, and he has regretted it. He has also undid some of it, and done good as well. This is exemplary of what survivors of the apocalypse will have to do. It is what I had to do in March 2020 to realize the journals I had faith in, because they had established credibility over decades, even centuries, by standing on replicable experiment unflinchingly as gates crumbled and gatekeepers raged, had abandoned that dedication and been corrupted. When @lighteye confronted my faith with demonstrable facts I had to differentiate between the scientific method and The Science I had learned to equate to one another, and that was difficult for me. It was far more difficult for Campbell. There are many that are not able to do so, many more than know better and malevolently intend to mislead.
While I was quicker than Campbell to leap that hurdle, and absolutely relate to your abhorrence of his promotion of lockdowns and jab mandates, I can see that innate conformists are innately dedicated to their masters. That makes the hurdles he had to overcome far higher than those I faced. It is my fundamental nature to doubt, question, and rebel. His is to stick to tried and true methods to build the consensus. These character traits aren't evil in themselves - indeed, the argument is made that rebels weaken societies, rendering them vulnerable to catastrophes, which some fervently believe is clearly evil.
Our differing opinions of Campbell may reflect our differing life stages, or may reflect differing character, more likely both and more. If the former it is possible that your condemnation of Campbell will soften in time. Whether or not you like him doesn't actually matter if what matters to you is factual data. If you care more about messengers than messages you're going to misunderstand threats to your safety that even implacable enemy messengers can provide.
Finally, I do not recall Campbell seeking forgiveness. I have observed him demonstrating regret and repentance, the necessary foundation of forgiveness, and discarding his faith in institutions while remaining dedicated to demonstrable fact as ascertained by the scientific method. His repentance demonstrates he was misled, and never intended to mislead, IMHO. As an old man that has regrets, I either temper my condemnation of those that initially failed, yet later overcame indoctrination, or I condemn myself worse than I do them, because I have intimate familiarity with my failures I cannot have of theirs. Whether you are capable of grace or not is a different matter than whether you are intent on factual reality regarding the harm survivors of this prelude to apocalypse must grasp, and allowing grudges to obfuscate understanding of factual information will degrade your ability to know the truth. It is for this reason I watch and read video and blogs of people that have political or religious beliefs I disagree with, because their view of reality enables mine to expand beyond a little bubble that might trap me in a gyre that will drag me down to my doom, as nearly happened to IAF.
It is very often the assertions of our disputants that can be disproved that enables us to convert enemies to allies - while the rest of the time it is we realizing we are wrong that does. If we can't do either then all we can do is prepare for war - with fewer allies and more enemies than necessary. It is most important that we be able to accept reality we had not when it is proved to us than that we can convince others to do so, because it is what is in us that comes out of us, and we are liable for our wrongs just as we hold others liable for theirs. Absolute certainty is the quickest route to certain destruction.
Thanks!
