A World Filled with Illusions

Justin Trudeau's cheap magic trick gets exposed by registered nurse while Apple performs a sloppy disappearing and reappearing magic stunt. Plus--a prediction on Justin Trudeau's sexual identity.

“We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.”

Iris Murdoch

It’s getting harder and harder to distinguish between the magicians you find in Branson or Coney Island and the political class currently in the driver’s seat of our world system.

I’m talking about the oligarchs (Houdini) and the middle managers (from Copperfield to your local street magicians) who do their bidding.

Or maybe that’s insulting to the honest, hardworking magicians out there?

For example, take middle manager Justin Trudeau (please.)

Before we get to his little parlor trick caught on video—let me make a prediction:

Trudeau will declare himself nonbinary sometime in the next year or two.

His recent announcement of separating from his wife (which almost always leads to divorce) lays the groundwork for my prediction.

I mean, there’s a reason why this AI-generated image fooled so many folks on the internet. I’ll admit—I shared it as the real deal.

This guy is such a Machiavellian that I can see him identifying as nonbinary or pansexual or something other than cis gendered sometime soon. Not because he truly is nonbinary—he will do it to score political points. And I’ll bet this prediction (and the image above) feels plausible to you.

Mark this down. You heard it here first.

Magic is something that happens that appears to be impossible. What I call 'illusion magic' uses laws of science and nature that are already known. Real magic uses laws that haven't yet been discovered.

Canadian Magician Doug Henning (1947-2000)

And now for his next trick…

Sometimes magic involves multiple people in on the trick working together to pull it off.

Like that one time when Trudeau and his wife performed the “fake vaccination” on live television!

The problem with this trick and why it’s not fooling everyone watching is that the nurse involved in the illusion is a terrible actor.

Don’t just take my word for it—a certified nurse made a video where she critiques Trudeau’s injection trick and points out three critical errors that she says ruin the act and lets us all know that this was a faked vaccination—JT and Sophia didn’t receive an injection at all.

Maybe the nurse deserves the most raspberries for her thespian skills—but this nurse does point out that the Trudeaus didn’t play their roles well, either.

WATCH the Magic Trick:

As people become less able to think critically while developing shorter and shorter attention spans—oligarch parlor tricks are increasing and getting bolder and more audacious over time.

Have you ever seen a nurse give a shot to a patient using one hand only? The nurse in the video never touches the Trudeaus with her left hand—she comes in holding the syringe “like a dart,” as the certified nurse likes to say throughout the video.

According to the real nurse behind the video, the second mistake the bad-acting nurse made was not aspirating the needle. She fails to do this in both cases.

If you don’t know what aspirating the needle means, this video shows how important it is to the process:

And her third reason is how the nurse used one hand, holding it “like a dart.” When you watch it and think about your own experiences with either getting a shot or seeing someone else get one, you realize this one-handed maneuver is ridiculous and embarrassingly evident that this whole thing is a sham.

The certified nurse also points out Sophie and Justin “forgot to play up their role” - like Justin forgetting to squeeze the nurse’s hand during the fake jab, and when Sophie fails to wait for a band-aid, pulling up her sleeve over the injection spot as soon as the nurse pulls the syringe away from her arm.

The certified nurse closes out her critique by saying:

“I don’t know, guys. Lots of red flags. I’m just pointing them out.

Bad acting Justin—I thought you were a drama teacher. I’m disappointed.

I guess you can’t even do that right.

Ouch.

UPDATE: Yesterday, I let you know the Glenn Beck program had been erased from the Apple Podcast Network.

Today, Apple restored the GB program to their podcast network but only reinstated around 1500 episodes. Over 3300 episodes of the Glenn Beck program were available on Apple before yesterday.

Although Beck is relieved to be back on a platform where he says 3 million viewers tune into his show—he’s still disturbed by what transpired. Apple still has not explicitly communicated why it removed some of Beck’s content.

This news bugs me because Apple has been censoring at a different level than YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I was hoping that Apple would not censor political content, but they dipped their toe in, and now who knows how far they’ll go.
