The Verer Effect: Why Denial Shapes Modern Politics
Hello, Earnest Mann here! This episode uncovers the Verer Effect, a term I coined to describe the ultimate form of denial. It's when people destroy a message they don’t want to hear, no matter how truthful it is. This concept frames our discussion of the recent presidential election, media narratives, and public perception.
Political Polls: A Tool for Influence, Not Insight
Polling has become a mechanism for shaping public opinion, not reflecting it. Polls exist to steer the masses, not to inform them—something everyone should remember next election cycle. Ignore the numbers; they are tools of manipulation.
Why Kamala Harris Lost and Donald Trump Won
The reasons behind Harris’s loss include societal factors like gender biases and her public image, but most importantly, the election was never intended for her to win. The system, manipulated by oligarchs and plutocrats, ensures outcomes that serve their interests. Similarly, Trump’s enduring influence reveals the corruption of American justice and how plutocratic control skews democratic processes.
The Illusion of Democracy
Democracy is marketed as a choice, but it’s carefully engineered. Whether it’s product A (Democrats) or product B (Republicans), the power elite manipulates outcomes to ensure nothing changes. This episode critiques the creeping rightward shift of U.S. politics, fueled by pop culture distractions and woke ideologies.
A Call for Real Change
Instead of protesting destructively, young Americans need to engage with historical lessons and prioritize informed actions over performative activism. Revolution requires substance, not slogans, and recognizing what's truly at stake.

I'm a deep thinking contrarian, a very pragmatic idiocythrope. I believe that function determines desirability and legitimacy. I don't like the superficial and/or pretentious, nor the shallow. I speak the truth as best as I know it, as a professor of tautology.
With friends, I desire quality over quantity. I know some very important life truths I'm just waiting for you to ask about. I have found in life, many people talk about happiness, but are unwilling to pay the price, or believe they shouldn't have to, because they are entitled to it, but I know with absolute certainty, that such beliefs are always due to stupidity, Insanity, or some degree of both.
This is not just another YouTube channel; I'm seeking to build a community of Intelligent thinkers daring to discuss, - and say - what the hell really needs to be said, so do the right thing, leave your thoughts, for me and others to possibly learn from, and subscribe, and tell everyone else in the world you know about me, and you'll stand a really good chance, of me remembering you, in my will!
I believe we really can change the current status quo of an idiotic and fucked up purposeless treadmill existence, and actually improve this world, but it requires intelligence, honesty, and BALLS, all three of which are currently in short supply, especially the balls.
Thank you for taking the time, to read this, and remember to avoid anything or anyone stupid, as much as possible, your life will be far better for it.
Please consider, that by visiting my website and/or donating to this show, you're supporting an actual person, not some mega corporation, that wouldn't know human compassion if it hit them over the head!
I look forward to hearing from you, and until next Monday or Friday remember, the world may be misinformed and batshit crazy, but YOU, don’t have to be!

I just want you to know that by being
0:03
here you're appreciated for your
0:06
curiosity always a sign of intelligence
0:09
and wisdom which means through you
0:12
despite all the crazy there is hope for
0:15
the world yet thank you for being
0:27
here I would like to say right out of
0:30
the gate this episode is not partisan
0:34
politics so if you really want a third
0:37
rail truthful insight into the outcome
0:40
of the presidential election don't leave
0:43
what I'm going to offer is a completely
0:46
different
0:47
perspective if you're anything like me
0:50
you just really damn glad the whole
0:53
thing is over with yet there is
0:56
something very important I want to tell
0:57
you and I promise you you're not going
1:00
to hear this on the mainstream news or
1:05
commentary there is a phrase that I
1:07
created long ago the verer effect this
1:10
describes perfectly what I'm about to
1:13
say so before I go into that let me
1:16
explain to you exactly what the verer
1:19
effect is the verer effect is when a
1:22
person is given the absolutely correct
1:25
answer to a problem but regardless of
1:28
how that answer is true transmitted to
1:31
the intended person or persons on a
1:34
School Blackboard written on paper sent
1:37
as an email or even directly face to
1:40
face you name it they will absolutely
1:43
ignore or destroy it because the truth
1:46
is despite what they may claim to the
1:49
contrary they absolutely do not want to
1:53
receive the message so they do anything
1:56
and everything to destroy the message
1:59
because they feel that if they do that
2:03
it will somehow change the reality that
2:07
they don't want to hear or
2:09
see just like a person who has a
2:12
diagnosis of cancer and wisely goes to
2:15
another doctor for a second opinion
2:18
except then they go to yet another
2:21
doctor and another doctor and another
2:24
doctor in short the verer effect is the
2:27
ultimate form of denial
2:31
I am fully aware of this and I want you
2:34
to know that I am fully aware of this
2:37
because that way when you become angry
2:40
telling me I'm stupid or crazy and go
2:43
into an emotional meltdown I'm still
2:46
going to state that this is the truth
2:49
whether you like it or not I am not the
2:51
one in denial here you
2:54
are now before I get into the real meat
2:57
and potatoes here's a nice appetizer
3:00
it's 100% true and it's one of the few
3:04
things in this world you can Bank on I'm
3:07
giving it to you for free so are you
3:10
ready here goes in the future in your
3:16
future you will be continuously besieged
3:19
with polling information and if you take
3:22
anything I'm about to tell you in this
3:25
episode seriously remember
3:28
this political polls do not mean what
3:32
you think they mean they definitely
3:34
serve a purpose but that purpose is the
3:37
exact opposite of what you've been
3:40
trained to believe so all you have to
3:44
remember is this political polls are
3:47
never designed or intended to reflect
3:51
public opinion political polls are
3:55
designed and intended to influence
3:58
public opinion always 100% of the time
4:03
so as far as polls are concerned I just
4:07
told you all you really need to know you
4:10
should completely and totally ignore
4:14
them now for the next shocker hardly no
4:19
sooner than when the voting polls closed
4:22
of course the speculation abounded as to
4:25
the reasons why the Harris lost she lost
4:28
because she was was a minority she lost
4:32
because she was a woman some even going
4:35
so far as to say that America simply
4:38
wasn't ready for a woman president she
4:41
lost because she as well as the
4:45
Democratic party did a very good job of
4:48
alienating men or my personal favorite
4:52
which I do have to admit really got
4:55
under my skin was her incessant
4:58
consistently inappropriate
5:02
cackling which like I said I really did
5:05
find very
5:06
irritating but even with all those
5:09
things together and or anything else I
5:13
may have missed that was not the primary
5:16
reason why she lost the election so are
5:20
you ready take a deep breath and please
5:24
don't allow the verer effect to take
5:27
over the primary reason she lost
5:29
election was because it was never
5:32
intended for her to win in the first
5:35
place now hopefully if all you wokers
5:40
so-called progressives and neoliberals
5:44
still have your head on your
5:47
shoulders that's really good because now
5:50
you'll get to hear what I have to say
5:53
about Trump and if I'm correct I don't
5:56
think I'll be invited to any
5:58
conservative friends after I say this
6:01
holes for Thanksgiving this year or any
6:05
year after that for that
6:08
matter you see I told you I was
6:14
nonpartisan when it comes to Donald
6:17
Trump the astronomical tsunami of
6:21
hypocrisy from the so-called
6:23
conservatives who support him is far
6:26
beyond the comprehension of any rational
6:29
mind mind I mean seriously Sigman Freud
6:33
Carl Yung and even Jordan
6:36
Peterson would all collectively lose
6:39
their minds trying to figure out that
6:43
rationalization for supporting Trump one
6:46
of my favorite presidents from the Past
6:49
who was a republican was Dwight
6:52
Eisenhower and by comparison to the
6:54
clown car of Bozo presidents ever since
6:58
his time both Democrats or Republicans
7:02
I'm certain he would be turning in his
7:05
grave seeing someone like Donald Trump
7:08
become president he would be spinning so
7:11
hard in fact I believe it's possible the
7:15
gravitational force he would generate
7:18
would throw the world off its
7:20
axis and out into orbit if any and I
7:25
mean any other man were facing all those
7:29
charges that Trump had he absolutely
7:33
would have been in jail a long time ago
7:38
he should be in jail a 100 times over
7:41
never to see the light of day well
7:44
except for an hour of daily exercise I
7:46
believe nonviolent criminals are allowed
7:50
and would definitely not be a free man
7:53
and absolutely would not be the
7:56
president of the United States
8:00
they should have put his ass in prison
8:03
and as they say thrown away the key but
8:07
that's how utterly corrupt our justice
8:10
department has become an absolute
8:13
mockery of Justice such is the current
8:15
state of our plutocratic corporate
8:18
controlled States of
8:21
America as the Trump trials progressed
8:24
it became very clear to me that
8:27
corruption was a foot and and Not only
8:30
was this extremely narcissistic con man
8:34
not going to jail but he was most likely
8:37
going to be installed as
8:41
president and when I say installed
8:43
that's exactly what I mean because I say
8:46
this once again the powers that be the
8:49
oligarchs and plutocrats want him and
8:53
since they have basically controlled the
8:56
US government since:9:00
the mob get what the they
9:03
want that's the long and short of it
9:06
that's the
9:08
truth so the fact is not only did he win
9:12
an overwhelming majority he won the
9:14
popular vote as well but also the fact
9:17
is stop and consider what his
9:20
competition was despite everything I've
9:23
already said about Harris she also
9:26
wasn't the brightest candle in the
9:28
candle opera
9:30
just in case n of you millions of fellow
9:33
Americans missed that which based on the
9:36
results I don't believe was the case
9:40
Harris was deliberately chosen for her
9:43
very quote unquote qualities I had just
9:48
mentioned this is a very old but
9:52
effective simple trick because they have
9:55
successfully convinced the population
9:58
that they live in a democracy the masses
10:01
must be fed the delusion that they have
10:04
a choice when in fact there is no choice
10:08
it's simple marketing if sales are
10:11
really down for product B Republicans
10:14
use something to product a Democrats to
10:18
make product a so awful by comparison
10:22
that a lot less people are going to buy
10:24
it and that's exactly what happened with
10:28
Harris not only that that but that is
10:30
exactly what is going to continue to
10:32
happen because if the same old strategy
10:36
continues to work for the plutocrats why
10:39
the hell would they change it and
10:41
speaking of change the only change
10:45
that's going to keep occurring in
10:46
America like I said previously is
10:49
creeping slowly but inexorably to the
10:53
right of course as long as you allow
10:57
yourself to be distracted with endless
11:00
pop culture and many other things you're
11:03
way too busy looking at your cell
11:06
screens you keep sleepwalking and don't
11:09
see a problem till you walk off a
11:12
cliff so what happens next well
11:17
based on quite a bit of observation over
11:20
the years America will continue
11:23
inexorably creeping to the right you
11:26
youngans out there don't know this but
11:28
those of us in our 50s and Beyond do
11:32
because we've seen all this before
11:36
and if you would take the time to listen
11:38
or talk to us you might even find
11:41
yourself in a much better
11:45
situation but no The Village idiots have
11:48
been convinced that just about anything
11:51
bad taking place is the fault of
11:55
middleaged weight
11:58
males well
11:59
as one of those myself I can tell you
12:02
that you're wrong and the snake
12:05
academics who fed you that to boost
12:09
their academic careers and or sell books
12:12
are not only wrong but should be fired
12:15
from their cushy tenured PhD positions
12:19
buggy whipped and tarred and feathered
12:22
and I'm being kind Young Folks you can
12:26
simply keep doing what you've been doing
12:29
as your life as well as your Liberty
12:32
continues to spiral down the drain do
12:36
any of you know or remember the old
12:39
adage Insanity being defined by doing
12:43
the same dysfunctional act over and over
12:45
but expecting a different result no oh
12:48
you you probably wouldn't that was
12:51
probably written by some middleaged
12:54
white guy so that book got banned by the
12:58
NWA
12:59
the national woke
13:02
Association am I angry you bet your
13:05
sweet gold bricking ass I'm angry and I
13:09
have every right to be because
13:11
of the idiotic adolescent things many
13:14
I'm not saying all 20 and 30 nothings
13:18
say and do you do marches with signs
13:22
such as BLM Pro queer Pro whale Pro
13:27
snail Pro Palestinian and pro you
13:31
name it then like a group of
13:34
angry incoherent monkeys set fire to and
13:38
vandalize nice downtown areas in various
13:42
cities that took workers yeah you know
13:46
workers the very people that you
13:49
profess to care so much about a long
13:52
time to build then you scamper off thump
13:57
your chest and think you've really
14:00
accomplished something when you didn't
14:03
not for yourself or for society do I
14:07
have all the answers no I don't
14:10
claim to but at least I know one thing
14:14
the American Revolution against the
14:16
British was not won by carrying peace
14:19
signs at the Boston Tea Party on
14:22
December 16th
14:26
1773 it was an entirely different kind
14:28
of
14:29
party and the adults there participating
14:34
understood what was at stake in their
14:37
lives and you might know what's at stake
14:41
too if you could get your face out of
14:44
your cell phones long enough and stop
14:47
engaging in vicarious
14:51
identification that's all I have to say
14:54
for
14:56
now so in order to know know more about
15:00
