The Men and Women who ask questions…

The movement that cannot be named.

I was watching an interview the other day, and something I’ve noticed is that folks naturally and faithfully gravitate towards a group, a label, a tribe. No, this is not new, it’s as old as time, and it’s understandable. It is inherently human to want to identify with a tribe, an in-group.

I’ve heard myriad terms for what we all seem to be doing: “Sovereign movement, Truth movement, Freedom movement, the ‘Awake’, the ‘Truthers’ and even obviously bitter and divisive phrases like ‘purebloods’, and so on. These are mere labels - and limited in their scope for description. So what really unites us? And should we be wary of labelling such a large and various group?

What unites us is that we are all humans who are asking questions about the events of the last 4 years. In my travels around the UK, visiting many events with like minded folk, my go to question is: “how do you find yourself here?” and vague as that may be, everyone seems to know exactly what I am getting at… and the answer boils down to, in 99% of cases, “I asked a question”.

“I asked a question” “I started questioning” “I challenged the narrative”

This is what our movement is about. A very simple yet essential function of mind. Critical thinking it could be called. We are told that we are not allowed to do our own research and must ‘trust the experts’. This movement is about freedom of thought, intellectual brilliance and true skepticism.

Our goal is to have our questions answered and bring justice to what has occurred, not only in the last four years, but the last four hundred years and beyond!

It seems there is no end to this thread when you start pulling it. One question leads to another and another, and you keep on pulling, how far back does it go? These kind of questions help folks splinter off into their own little subcultures of questioning this narrative and that narrative, but what remains is the right and the freedom to question, the freedom to think about ideas (even if they seem mad or bad), and ultimately about sovereignty of thought. What we reject is one narrative and no deviation. We reject dogma, static thinking, and appeals to authorities (especially when those authorities are widely known to be corrupt!)

This movement is much broader than labels and is truly diverse, i.e not in the forced, upside down ‘woke’ version of the word. It is one of our strengths – it is not our differences that we care about, it is our unified goal to have our fair and reasonable questions answered.

Our differences really do not matter, whether you think there was a pandemic or not or if viruses exist, your religious/spiritual/big picture views: these issues are peripheral to our actual goal as a movement. Those who focus on differences and divide our nameless movement into that which can be names are not helping. Henpecking minor variations to their versions of truth are usually doing so out of an inflated sense of importance or certainty, in bad faith, or do not realise that they are wasting everyone’s time. We have a right to question, and those who would focus their attacks on their living brothers and sisters instead of the obvious, corporate target, are playing right into the hands of Mr Gates and his special interest groups.

So should we be called the ‘questioner’ movement, or the ‘querent’ movement?

I’m not sure. There is nothing wrong with being in a tribe. It may in fact be essential for our wellbeing. So why do I believe that getting away from the labelling of ourselves and movements is a shrewd move? Because we have far more power as individuals – sovereign Men and Women, because that is what we are.  Our movement needs no name – labelling and grouping ourselves plays into the hands of our detractors.

Labelling movements can dangerously oversimplify complex ideas and diverse groups, leading to misunderstandings and misrepresentations. Labels often obscure the nuances within movements, overshadowing their true goals and values. Moreover, they can perpetuate stereotypes and stigmatize individuals associated with these movements, hindering constructive dialogue and meaningful engagement. It is so easy to write someone off because you heard they are ‘far this’ or ‘anti that’.

Labels can also undermine the legitimacy of valid grievances and concerns, reducing them to buzzwords and bait. Calling someone an ‘antivaxxer’ does not diminish harm that may have been caused to them by dangerous and faulty health interventions and in fact is a tool of dehumanisation, a reason to write a human being off completely.

For these reasons and more I say we should reject these labels however catchy they sound. Names like “The Sovereignty Movement?” or “Truthers” or even ‘Awake” have pompous undertones and are merely useful handles to umbrella large groups of divergent individuals. In reality, we are just Men and Women who want their queries answered.
