Guest Post by Sundance
They don’t say it the same way as me, because they are far more articulate and eloquent, but boy howdy have Carlson and Peterson come to the same conclusion.
Four years ago, you heard me say it loud, “Stop Pretending and Live Your Best Life.” The first time I realized this was the best and truest hope for our restoration was after holding years of empirical, undeniable research in my hands and finding nothing but willfully blind, isolated and siloed deaf ears in DC. What Tucker Carlson describes below is the disconnect between the people and those who hold power.
In this joint discussion about the future and possibility within this year 2024, both Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson take the first part of that framework, “stop pretending”, and turn the phrase into “speak truth.” Yes, yes, yes, THIS. When I have been asked for the past several years about what needs to be done, what can we do, my answer to every voice, influential and comfortably invisible alike, has been ‘STOP PRETENDING’ – just stop pretending. WATCH:
Stop pretending the gaslighting narrative is real. Just stop pretending. Stop ignoring the lies, and start confronting the liars directly. Look at the other voice, regardless of who they are, stare boldly directly into their eyes and speak the truth of the thing. Just stop pretending. If we all stop pretending, the narrative engineers will find no one to purchase their bulls**t anymore. At the same time, speak the truest thing as loudly as you can to confront those who use pretense as a shield to retain comfort and influence.
EXAMPLE: Mary McCord sits at the epicenter of every single Lawfare machination deployed against President Trump. This is a demonstrably true and factual reality. Yet, how many allied voices do we see publicly making her known and as a consequence uncomfortable? No one. Why? Why isn’t every person of influence talking about the true thing? Why hide behind “they” and “them” or some bland, undefined, esoteric blame-casting toward an irrelevant institution. We may not know the name of every person, but we know the name of the one single thread that unites all of the effort, Mary McCord. Why is it so hard for allies to factually identify her and the corrupt behavior she is engaged in?
I no longer stare at the absence with a side eye of suspicion, I now glare knowingly and angrily at the face behind the willful omission. “You know, and I know you know,” is what that stare represents. None of those popular and influential allies on our side can ever answer the question about their silence. None of them can. Why?
The second aspect, “living your best life”, is a natural outcome of living the truth of the thing without apology.
Fearless adherence to the undeniable truth, and a ferocious rejection of the demanded obtuse labeling like, “disinformation, misinformation or malinformation.” Horsepucky on that nonsense, there’s true and not true; that’s it. Full effen’ stop.
Living your best life is living in the truest place physically, emotionally and spiritually. A faithful adherence to the purest truth, the gospel of faith. Fellowship strengthens this critical bonding and reminds us we are not alone.
No manipulative construct can stop you from living your best life; the choice is always yours even if it means you do not participate. Not pretending is an expression of strength; it is the one single action that everyone can participate in with individual purpose and intensity. We cannot pretend and simultaneously live our best life. We can only live our best life if we stop pretending.
We are not fleas looking into a furnace. We are an assembly of unique and strong individuals with the ability to choose, act, express freewill – and/or ultimately, we can choose to be acted upon. There are more of us than them!
There are many conservative ushers, many paid for their job in the business theater of politics who would prefer we do not question our seating assignment – let alone challenge the scripted performance we are told to watch on the stage. Understanding this facet is going to become increasingly important, as the specific people who control the mechanisms of power become ever more exposed.
A comment by Gemstone aligns with a current communication question I am seeking to solve. I also remind myself that when I find difficulty in solution, you guys – the smartest and most aware group of our nation – always have exceptional insight that can help me. Here’s the comment:
…”Sundance, When I attempt to inform the not so informed around me with the information that I read every morning on your pages I receive looks of “no way”, “seriously”, and “why is this the first time that I am hearing about this corruption”. I don’t know how people can be so ill informed. Well, we know as it is easier for Americans to keep this corruption at arm’s length until if finally slaps them upside the head.”… [link]
My questions:
♦ What is the average knowledge of the scale of government corruption within your network (family, friends, community)?
♦ Has their perception, perhaps as well as your own, become more awakened in the past few years? Why?
♦ What communication tools do you think are needed, or would be of value, in order for more people to understand what you are aware of?
Trust me when I say this discussion, while extremely important now, is going to become even more important in the next several months.
I am distinctly aware, perhaps uniquely aware of the information control actions that will take place in 2024.
They will be very intense and very targeted.
In 2020, they locked down voters to create the mechanism of control (ballots). In 2024, I can already see the control approach looming; they will lock down voices. Very specific voices.
If you are a regular reader of this site, you are generally a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events and more than likely a root cause thinker. Meaning, you are able to grasp events at their actual cause and not at their highly discussed outcome or consequence.
The challenge is getting those who understand the big picture dynamics to stop being comfortable and sticking their heads in the sand about “motive”. Most people are still clinging to beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to national leadership writ large. We need to change that thinking quickly – or we will be left explaining ‘what happened’ far too late.
There is also a major issue with conservative “ushers” guiding the audience into a state of tactical numbness. A willful blindness within part of the American electorate, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unconstititional actions we are seeing on a daily basis.
It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of, “I can’t see what’s happening”, because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate. “I can’t see it”, just doesn’t cut it.
It’s more along the lines of, “I see what’s happening, but it’s scary and complicated and confusing, and if I admit that I see it, I will become responsible in a way that I am not if I keep pretending; I can’t see it or hear it, or maybe I don’t understand it.”
Why don’t we dare say what is so? Are we a bit afraid that if we give up the willful blindness we will perhaps start screaming and not be able to stop? Do we think we have so little courage? Do we really believe that we have no resources to bring to the battle – or nothing more to contribute to the turning of the battle?
There are patriots who some might say resemble one of those slightly mad orchestra conductors who keep yelling, “More trumpet! More TRUMPET!” Many of you are such slightly mad orchestra leaders. Do not be alarmed by some of the strange looks you are getting these days.
My questions:
♦ What is the average knowledge of government corruption within your network (family, friends, community)?
♦ Has their perception, perhaps as well as your own, become more awakened in the past several years?
♦ What communication tools do you think are needed, or would be of value, in order for more people to understand what you are aware of?
Trust me when I say this discussion, while extremely important now, is going to become even more important in the next several months.
If you are going to enter this battle, believe me – no one is going to get to avoid this one; you are going to need to fight like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark, and brother, it’s starting to rain!
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Conservative political strategist says to watch Fetterman:
Sundance wants people to speak and live the truth by highlighting Doktor Gatekeeper. How very ‘meta’.
Sundance = Trumpy can do no wrong. He makes good points sometimes but always points to puppets like the Chamber of Commerce or now Mary McCord as the ” mastermind “.
He is pretending not to see the much , much bigger players.
Well, how about Peterson begins with telling the truth about the Gaza genocide. That would be a good start.
I’ll take meth addled , gate keeping fag , for a $100 , Alex.
“at this point, you ever recommended Jordan Peterson to anyone, you owe them an apology. And you really need to contemplate how it was possible for you to fall for such an obvious charlatan.”
Jordan Peterson Asked to Answer the Jewish Question: “I Can’t Do I
‘Vox populi’ doubles down on going full retard – and skim-reading flash loves it:
“no young man should have ever listened to a single word [Peterson] said, much less one he wrote”
Muaaaahahahaaa!!
Guilt by association, the last stand of the mentally incapable a/k/a idiot!
“Muaaaahahahaaa!!” that’s what all the gatekeeping, zio-bot, closet fags say when confronted with facts say.
Tell the truth , Langely- tard, the closet you ever came to Russia is the borscht you had in New Jersey.
Needs more
cowbellreeeeeee… moran!Exactly, I’m about as close to Russia as this Canadian family https://www.youtube.com/@countrysideacreshomestead2008/videos
Brah, “nobody can tell you anything , because you already know it all…reeee”
I feel your pain, midwit. Where did Vox Day hurt you at?
Vans, makes sport coats now?
Vox, the tubby trust fund kid, is just jealous that he doesn’t have JP’s public profile.
No objection to the Carlson segment, but Peterson… sheesh. Yeah, Jordan, if we’re all totally honest, then the Left won’t be able to steal the election again. What a bunch of fucking bullshit. Honesty may be a great precept for your personal life, but the ruler of this world is still the devil. It seems like non-Americans (Jordan Peterson, Alexander Mercouris) are the only ones left who still think the conception of America as some noble country governed by its constitution is true. It isn’t. It reminds me of Kurt Schlichter living out in LA thinking there’s some mythical stronghold of normalcy in Middle America that’s going to thwart the woke Gulag Archipelago once he rouses them with his snarky columns. Kansas ain’t gonna save you, Schlichter. This continuing belief in American exceptionalism also sways foreign countries to hitch their wagon to the American security train. Hey Georgia, Armenia, Taiwan – I got news for you: you’re on your own. Cut your best deal with your great power neighbor because there’s no way America can save you. We’ll be lucky to save ourselves.
Its not what HE thinks, necessarily, but it is what he knows that the target of his efforts wants/needs to believe. He plays ‘reasonable’, leftist intellectual who is trying to stop hyper-acceleration of lefitsm. A blank-slate, civic national Global America must be maintained. Why?
Well his position is that no amount of leftist identity politik can be worse than the “far right”, specifically “White Christian” identity, becoming self-aware as a specific power base with specific wants and preferences.
His entire personal journey of leftist loons on campuses has progressed to become a dire warning against emergent far-right identity/nationalist movements. Stange how that worls.
Some of his biggest followers have been the very men and boys destroyed by the same Progress, culture war, war on masculinity etc. because he offers just enough truth and actionable advice but always stops short of anything that might actually restore what has been destroyed.
Like a lot of globo-leftist “intellectual” vampires, they are concerned about the extremes that emerge, but refuse to indict the inherent flaws in all leftist/death cult thinking, the logical progression of which we are seeing – and what he went through as a middling professor refusing to use the mandated lexicon.
Every so often he says out loud what he fears most, what he thinks needs to be prevented/stopped/purged from goodthink.
That it also happens to be what the “government” believes to be the greatest threat to Our Democracy is purely coincidental.
Wake all the way up, Iska. Carlson is almost as believable as fucking Peterson. They’re both snakes.
Functioning brains.
Apart from that question, this was a completely useless article. I should “speak truth”? WTF have I been doing? Who is the target audience here? Congress? Good luck with that.
Praising Tucker and Peterson — both of whom have been known on multiple occasions to either be dumb or to play dumb (i.e. lie) — for telling other people to tell the truth? Really? WTF planet have I arrived on?
Peterson: “Just get the damned vaxx!”
Carlson: (paraphrase) “UFOs are real and 5 Ukrainians in a rented sailboat blew up Nordstream.”
Also, in regard to Carlson, NO ONE who is actually honest sets about frequently, incessantly really, telling you how honest he is.
Why do you lie by giving the Peterson quote out of context?
Watch from 3:12 on unedited video
.
You can’t be as retarded as your comments make you seem. You just can’t be.
Have you watched the middle of the clip? (I don’t give a shit what HugoTalks says about it, but thank him for preserving the unedited original part.)
What’s your take on it.
My take on it is that Peterson said, word for word, exactly what I said he said.
Now go fuck your retarded self.
Thanks for confirming you are full of shit.
“Although I would encourage people to get the damned vaccine”
Encouragement is slightly different from an Imperative…
Upon another review, I see now that I was wrong.
Peterson did not use the word “just”, and he did not say “vaxx” but instead used the word vaccine.
I stand corrected. I offer my deepest apologies.
Now, I thought I told you to go fuck your retarded self.
Thanks for confirming a second time that you are full of shit!
Now, I thought I told you to go fuck your retarded self.
Try again, maybe it’ll work the third time!
The truth is determined by what Jason Christoff calls repetitive content which forms the idea that most people believe it so it’s the safe place to be.
In order to challenge it , you have to put yourself in another environment which can compete with it. ( your brain has physical substrate that grows the more it is feed )
Being in nature or being exposed to a deferent culture , creates a competition for brain space .
For example, growing up in the New York area my whole life I was never exposed to bluegrass music or country Western swing dancing. Sure I’ve heard of Johny Cash and Willie Nelson but not the real country country music of Merle Haggard and George Jones. If your living in an area of the country where country swing is dominate , you realize how superior a time out is then the New York , London , or whatever the media centers of shit is . Go tell me how the elite media mavens weren’t loading the dice all along? You only thought you had some kind of free will or choice. Go and watch some of those mentalists that Jason Christoff points out and you realize you’ve been put in a pen since they sent you off to Government indoctrination centers.
Yeah, I hear you Yankees need help from asshats like Jason Christoff, so you don’t sabotage your fucking retarded selves.
EVERY pundit talks about ” the media ” , but none including Suncrisp , follow the facts where they lead.
” In a column entitled “Ruling Class Journalists”, former Washington Post senior editor and ombudsman Richard Harwood described the Council and its members approvingly as “the nearest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States”.
The weekly ‘ Narrative ‘ does not just appear by randomness.
” CFR member Stephen F. Cohen described the Council as “America’s single most important non-governmental foreign-policy organization”, whose primary role is to “define the accepted, legitimate, orthodox parameters of discussion.”
Only what the CFR calls legitimate is allowed.
Likewise.
” In searching for a new enemy to unite us, WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would FIT THE BILL. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. ”

When Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson are held up as examples of profound wisdom in today’s world, you know how far we’ve fallen.
Getting in their faces ain’t gonna work. There is only ONE WAY to erase an ideology.
The vast majority simply have no stomach for it. They would prefer to accept the evil than to destroy it.
Everybody gets what they want.
Seriously, Scrote, STFU.
Yes, STFU Scrotumizer.
Whatever, Sundance. Nobody who is for real gives a tin shit what those two posers say, but go ahead and shine their shoes while you’re down there.
Hey! Jewden Pederstein, it’s gonna take more than lofty thoughts and feel-goodisms to right the ship. It’s gonna take cannons and cunning and the correct targets.
Both controlled opposition
