Is Trudeau Brain Damaged?
A response to Toby Rogers
In the below post by Toby Rogers, he says in regards to an image of smiling Trudeau:
…check out the crooked smile on Trudeau’s face — right side up, left side down. Nearly all progressives have this now — Rachel Maddow, Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, and heaps of Hollywood celebrities. Winston Smith can correct me on this, but it’s a sign of neurological injury on the right side of Trudeau’s brain.
Forrest Maready has written the definitive book on this — Crooked: Man-Made Disease Explained. He shows that crooked smiles are the result of cranial nerve injury likely caused by toxicants in vaccines. At this point, the crooked smiles on the faces of nearly all progressives are almost required in order to maintain one’s membership card in the (*ahem*) bourgeoisie. They wear it as a badge of honor — ‘hey look I’m hella over-vaccinated!’ It’s like a member of MS-13 getting a teardrop tattoo on their face — it shows their total allegiance to the cartel for life.
Is there a possibility of right hemisphere damage (and reciprocal left hemisphere dominance)?
There is certainly good evidence that vaccines can create the crooked face phenomenon so well detailed by Forest. The side of the face that displays more expression (the rising of the corner of the mouth and the slight squinting of the eye in a smile) indicates that the opposite hemisphere is working fine – it’s the side of the face where the corner of the mouth doesn’t move and the eye stays open in a smile, for example, that indicates damage on the opposite hemisphere (each hemisphere has control and influence over the opposite side of the body). A paramedic making a quick assessment of a patient who shows symptoms of a stroke will look at the face and see which side lacks muscle tone and movement, just as they find out which hand has a lack of gripping power. The deficit side could indicates a stroke in the hemisphere on the opposite side.
So as Toby muses, could there be signs here of right hemisphere damage (or let’s say attenuation at least) from Trudeau’s facial expression? Well if we follow the Forrest Maready hypothesis then it’s a facial cranial nerve that is damaged through vaccine injury and this has neural connections running into the right hemisphere but primarily this nerve comes from the brainstem (the pons) after information comes down from either hemisphere - (to be honest I’d have to go back and look at what Forrest has said but I believe the damage is not done in the higher cortical areas - that would be lateralised to the right hemisphere - but rather lower down in the brain stem).1
So it’s likely that Trudeau is vaccine injured just like many millions of others and not necessarily brain damaged in his right hemisphere.
Nevertheless (since Toby has given me an excuse to monologue about my favourite topic), let’s look at the characteristics of someone who has got an exaggerated bias toward the left hemisphere, either through right hemisphere damage, or the nurturing of the left hemisphere through social/cultural conditioning, or a combination of both. You can make up your own mind if Trudeau has a left-hemisphere bias in his thinking and acting (regardless of his crooked face) …
Because the left hemisphere has less white matter (myelinated neuronal pathways making very fast communication freeways between regions) than the right hemisphere, the left hemisphere is less able to hold global/broad attention and gets caught in localized attention and is self-referring in nature. It is often the case that the left hemisphere thinks it’s right all the time and completely dismisses any alternative view of the world. It is self-referential in that it always falls back on what it knows and has little tolerance for anything new, ambiguous, or non-linear in nature. In other words, it’s difficult to convince the left hemisphere something different to what it has already made up its mind about.
The left hemisphere is much more reliant on dopamine than the right hemisphere and can be characterised as the more dopamine-driven side of the brain (dopamine being the main driver of the reward system). Interestingly emotions are processed faster and more accurately in the right hemisphere except anger – anger is expressed much more from the left hemisphere.
The left hemisphere attends in a very narrow way, it zooms in on things (especially things in its own field of vision – the right side). Quite unlike the right hemisphere that maintains a broad awareness and looks out in a flexible way to both sides of the visual field. It seems the right is looking out for the left, but the left couldn’t care less what’s happening on the side that it doesn’t see. The result is the left hemisphere engaging in only what it has learned and knows, what it can ‘grasp’ and has little time for the new and novel and doesn’t care to integrate new things with what’s known before analysis – something the right hemisphere is good at.
The left hemisphere has a voice, it is the centre of spoken and written language, whereas the right hemisphere, in all its wisdom, is silent. Actually, if the left hemisphere is given half a chance, it will suppress the right hemisphere in various ways and want to take over (this manifests in many different ways, too much to get into in this short post). And the problem with that is that the left then misses out on the superior wisdom of the right that can integrate and assimilate all that the left has to offer and get a more grounded perspective of the world.
The left hemisphere also takes a short-term view (and a local view) of things. It doesn’t have the longer working memory of the right (sounds like some politicians!).
The left hemisphere loves labels and abstractions, to consider things as decontextualised and abstracted ‘things’ that somehow make up a mechanistic world. The left misses the uniqueness of the individual and rather wants to see things as fixed categories in a generic, nonspecific way. The right is interested in the personal, the living and organic rather than the impersonal and nonliving. Overall, the left hemisphere has a very mechanical view of people, relationships and the world and is primarily interested in the ‘utility’ of things – how useful are things (including people). The utility of things is the primary value of things according to the left hemisphere.
Probably most interesting here is the left hemisphere is most sophisticated in its use of language and symbol manipulation than the right. But the right specializes in nonverbal communication, subtle unconscious perceptions, the implicit, emotional shifts, and meanings. The right relies on the left to articulate such things but the left, with its greater vocabulary and more subtle and complex syntax can easily override the right if it has the upper hand. Therefore, the right hemisphere should always be the ‘master’, the dominate one over the left, and the left should serve the right. However, we are in a world where we are seeing more people demonstrating left hemisphere dominance (closely aligned to many symptoms of schizophrenia) in all their self-assured arrogance, without realising what they cannot see or comprehend. It’s a very dangerous state of mind to be in, and if you are in a place of power, with a bent toward sociopathy or psychopathy, then you are very dangerous to many people.
So back to Toby’s observation. I think there is a possibility of neurological bias toward the left hemisphere of seeing and being in the world – possibly by damage to parts of the right hemisphere, maybe a culture that gives positive feedback to the left hemispheres perspective, and maybe positions of power that also feed the left hemisphere’s technocratic outlook on rulership - There’s a lot of ‘maybe’ in there so take it all tentatively. But probably not just because of facial nerve damage due to vaccine injury.

UPDATE: Here’s a brilliant response to Toby’s post that sheds more light on the cranial nerve issue that I had missed…
Toby,
If you get a cerebral hemisphere stroke, yes, the opposite side of the body (contralateral side) is involved, because the long fiber tracts from the (ipsilateral) hemispheric parietal lobe cross in the brainstem to the opposite side. This means you will get a left-sided hemiplegia (motor paralysis) of many major muscle groups from a right hemispheric stroke. And vice-versa from a left hemisphere stroke in the right side of the body.
An isolated facial nerve palsy is from the 7th cranial nerve (facial nerve) exiting the brainstem after the long fiber tracts have crossed in the midbrain. This means the paralysis is on the ipsilateral (same side) side as the inflammation in the ipsilateral 7th nerve - these "vaxx" injuries are in large part due to inflammation in one of the 12 peripheral cranial nerves (unless it's from a major clotting event in the hemisphere, in which case the patient would unlikely be able to walk). So yes, you are potentially right, but actually wrong, to use Aristotelian terms. :-)
If it was a right cerebral stroke it would be the left face, but there would be disruption of many other muscle and sensory groups, such as swallowing (dysphagia), talking (dysarthria) and hearing, even hemiplegia. But an isolated facial palsy is from inflammation in the ipsilateral facial nerve as it exits the brainstem. It is also called Bell's Palsy. (one of my favourite musicians, Gord Lightfoot, had one early on in his career, and could no longer whistle afterwards from persistent weakness in his cheek muscles). - Dr. Marc Mullie
On facial asymmetry - this is normal and a perfectly symmetrical face (only achieved in photoshop) elicits an uncanny feeling. But what we are talking about is not a “normal” asymmetry and rather consistent in its presentation as Forrest so well documents.
Another interesting essay Winston. I do think that culture and education focus on left side knowledge and learning while neglecting and supressing development of the right side. There is an interesting little book about this titled: "Exploring the Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Split Minds and Meta Realities" by Joseph Chilton Pearce.
All language is symbolic and the left seems to focus on language that is descriptive of objects and as you more or less put it....the micro, the smaller details, or parts (I'm using poor descriptors of what I mean by left language). It's the everyday language of culture and the view of the world as a collection of separate objects. For lack of a better term, the material world. (Another bad descriptor because it implies that the material world is separate from right side perception)
I think there is also a language of the right side. Like all language it is also symbolic but in a different way. This type of language is focused on the macro which incorporates the micro. It can use language to condense concepts similar to have a zip file can condense a lot of information. What this language communicates can only be 'heard' by those who can 'unlock' the zip file. Or as a prophet reportedly put it, "He who has ears to hear, hears."
I think that there are experiences that can 'activate' (another poor descriptor) the right side to various degrees. Sometimes just glimpses. Sometimes much, much more. Sometimes in stages. Sometimes in leaps. I think that there are also times when the right communicates to the left and the left is unaware of the totality of what is being communicated. In his "Apology to the Athenians" Socrates tells of coming upon a group of poets who did not understand the meaning in their own poetry. I would say....metaphorically speaking that they could not open the zip file. They may however at some point be able to unzip the file.
For most the right is the unkown. That which is not seen, the dark side, like the Dark Side of the Moon.
