by Donald Jeffries, ”I Protest”:
Steadily lowering my social credit score
I sometimes have people ask me, “So what are you doing to help?” Sure, I’m full of radical takes and contrarian views, but how does that change anything? Have I led any marches? Have I even participated in any marches? Run for Congress? Run for school board? But I certainly shoot my mouth and pen off about everything.

I would counter with the fact I am doing something. Really all any average person can do at this point. I call out the corruption, and the tyranny, and I don’t pull any punches. I name names. More recently, I have stepped up my attacks on Zionism, and the ZOG that rules America 2.0. That’s not going to win you any popularity contests. In my case, it appears to have cost me a wonderful publicist. Authors who aren’t big names get half-assed publicists, if they get any at all. But this one was special. She got me on lots of bigger platforms, including Kim Iverson. Earlier this year, she said she was going to check out my Substack and try to get me on some shows discussing the Epstein Files. And that’s the last I’ve heard from her. She hasn’t responded to several texts and emails. I can only conclude that she was offended by all the non-Irish references in those articles. So, now I’m back to having no publicist. To being my own publicist. So please forgive me when I start tooting my own horn. No one else will.
The term Thought Criminal comes, of course, from George Orwell’s 1984. Which naturally became my favorite book of all time. Orwell’s forlorn hero, Winston Smith, noted that Thoughtcrime “was not a thing that could be concealed for ever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you.” We might not have literal Thought Police, but we do have militarized police forces in every city, every county of this country. And we have Social Justice Warriors that will report you to the corrupt authorities if you step out of line. Fail to wear your mask during fake pandemics. Fail to have your child fully vaccinated. Fail to celebrate the “joys of diversity.” Fail to support Israel and its “chosen” people. Fail to follow the “science.” As Winston Smith said, “Thoughtcrime does not entail death: Thoughtcrime IS death.” I am one of those who never tried to conceal my Thoughtcrime. I was apparently born with it. Yes, I was a Teenage Thought Criminal.
I could have made very different decisions, going back to the mid-1970s. I didn’t have to join the ACLU. I didn’t have to inject radical commentary into every conversation. I didn’t have to become obsessed with the JFK assassination and join Mark Lane’s Citizens Committee of Inquiry. I didn’t have to continually question The Man. If I’d simply played the game in the least bit, I would have been promoted. Probably many times, and risen up the corporate ladder. I didn’t have to drop out of community college. I could have buckled down and concentrated on my studies, and gone to a real university. But instead I kept reading, pontificating, researching, and writing. Mostly about the JFK assassination, but also about UFOs, the Bermuda Triangle, and other assorted paranormal phenomena. And I wrote lots of songs that few people ever heard. I wasn’t really risking anything by doing that, but I was remaining true to my principles. I was “keeping it real” without even knowing it.
When the internet appeared, it was like manna from heaven to me. I could find like souls, kindred spirits. JFK assassination forums, forums for every conspiracy imaginable. I’d felt isolated philosophically in the 1970s and 1980s. Now I was “meeting” others who were awake to what was really going on. Blogs were everywhere. I started one on Word Press. I’ve linked to several old articles there. You can find all the archives at donaldjeffries.wordpress.com. The powers that ought not be (to quote RB Ham) loathed the internet. They hated the fact that mere peasants could start a blog, and comment on their criminal activities. They desperately wanted FCC-style control and censorship. But that didn’t happen, until the big social media platforms started banning Alex Jones and others. The Left used cancel culture to keep the parameters of public discourse very narrow and predictable. Safe. Confine debate to “education,” “terrorism” and the like. No critical thinking allowed.
