As you know, this Stack could be devoted entirely to the idiocy of the elite media’s Covid coverage.
I generally can’t waste the time, not with far more important issues to cover, these days mostly vaccine-related: vaccine failure, vaccine side effects, vaccine mandates, vaccines for kids, vaccine passports, etc. Not to mention the lab leak, censorship, and a dozen others.
But every so often, we need to remember that the places that consider themselves the world’s ultimate arbiters of fact have not just failed to ask the right questions (how were the vaccine clinical trials designed?). Whether out of ignorance or ideology or both - probably both - they have actively misled their readers and viewers since March 2020.
The Omicron debacle (be afraid, be very afraid… oh, wait, don’t) - is only the most recent example of this parade of stupidity.
But every parade has a queen.

And when it comes to bad Covid takes, the Atlantic is the unquestioned champion. It started strong, with its infamous “Georgia’s Experiment in Human Sacrifice” headline, and has held the crown ever since.
Lately, though, the Atlantic has gone to another level. It is no longer merely off-base or directionally wrong; it has turned into a near-perfect contrary indicator.
Believe it or not, I started to write this piece weeks ago, after I noticed this little homily on the brilliance of Germany’s Covid response. The late October timing was impeccable; Germany was just leaving the happy vaccine valley and heading into its largest wave of infections and second-biggest wave of deaths (Omicron may have arrived just in time to keep the situation from getting even more grim).
Since then, the gifts have just kept coming:
—
And Omicron.... Omicron has turned the Atlantic into the journalistic equivalent of a bunch of bankers at the end of an all-night coke binge in Vegas. It’s been fun, even if Ed and Derek and Sarah and the gang made a lot of decisions that may not feel great in the morning… but the sun is about to come up. The party’s over.
Or is it?
Not as long as there’s still Bolivian marching powder to be had, it’s not!
Just one more hit, guys:
Okay, okay, I’ll get an Uber -
Wait, I found another bag!

Being this wrong is almost useful. If the Atlantic ever tells us not to worry…
The WEF, the WHO, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The CIA, the CFR, the FBI, the NIH, the CDC, the FDA
The UN, the EU, UNESCO, USAID?
The Rothchilds, the Rockefellers, the Royal Family?
The masked burly men in the park?
The brainwashed housewives at the supermarket?
The entertainment industry, the tabloids, the social media corporations?
The Fourth Estate, Fifth Column (the media)?
If after two years into this fraud you still trust any of the above entities, then you've already lost.
But maybe there is still hope now that the globalists are directly targeting children with their poison injections...
When they start dropping dead in classrooms in greater numbers people like you are, hopefully, going to finally start waking up to what is actually occurring here, and then maybe, just maybe, we can then turn the tide.
I have personal experience of the truculence and outright aggression that sheep will exhibit, if they're cornered, or you seem to be threatening their lambs. To compare people to sheep may be to malign them (the sheep, that is).
Did not see your comment but we need to rename enlightenment…all I know is in Wa the double mask wearers who are lining their kids up for the jab are the same ones whose kids ride motorized scooters with no shoes or helmet but you guessed it, wearing a mask!!! You just can’t make it up!!! 😂😂😂
Or very few questioning the advice of a physician as he/she speaks from the pocket of Big pHarma. “Get the pneumonia/flu/shingles/HPV/Hib/anthrax jab. Take the statins, the bone health infusions… and do not ask why or ask about the efficacy. Just do it.”
LOL Our masks are off in our deep blue mandated state and no jab here even if we have to lose our jobs. We are HUGE fans of Let's Go Brandon....let's go!!
masks off here too. we need a leader which sure is not going to be of the current government, so folks need to get it on with the 'alternative' good folks
While I don't exactly trust the sheep - the sheep are more trustworthy than any politician. Remember that the majority of Americans were against the Iraq War of 2003. They were totally against the bank bailouts of 2009/10/11/..../21. They are mostly against mass illegal immigration. So as dumb as they've made us, the average American (elite and pseudo elite Americans are scary, I'll grant you that) is far better than the average politician.
And the most important thing is that we give up our insane and unexamined belief that giving up our authority to "government" will somehow work out better than simply being responsible for ourselves. Study, then commit to voluntaryism and the non-Aggression principle.
Respectfully, although I don't disagree with your opinions, I believe they fall short of describing the truth of "the sheep". Maybe it is because I live in a blue state and work in the peripheral of education but what started as a movement in our colleges has taken all schools (most private too) hostage. The education system is creating an entire generation of "know it all" and "entitled" young people who believe everything they are fed. I would love to believe that reading a book would turn this ship around but I don't think most understand the reality of how large an influence the "elites" have and how far the reach has become. We have an undereducated, under motivated and over stimulated generation who we are depending on government to bail out their student loans, provide their retirement and a lifestyle they see on social media. So, no, I don't trust the sheep, I sit in meetings and am astounded at the arrogance that accompanies their narrow vision. I don't believe they would read your book or any of the other great ones that have been written by very educated people who have lived a long life and have much to offer all of us with their wisdom!
I hear you re: the youth. Though I'll say I've been equally shocked for several years now to find parents as far gone as their kids. I don't quite know how that happened as the ADL type groups didn't have direct access to the parents like they do the kids.
I do know that there is no way that government and existing parties are going to lead us out of this mess. We truly must replace government with voluntary organization. There are two political planks worth pursuing:
- Approval Voting (much better than ranked voting) - Yes votes = 1 point, no ranking. So if a Dem who was waking to the corruption of the parties votes for Bill Clinton and Ross Perot, a Republican who was waking to the corruption of the parties votes for George Bush Sr and Ross Perot and finally the Independent who knows deeply of the corruption of the parties votes only for Perot - then Perot wins in a landslide with 3x the votes of either opponent. (see how much better that is than ranking?)
- Next platform is something like this: "Vote for me and my party! We will reduce every aspect of government and simultaneously work with you to replace it with voluntary organization."
The good news is that I've never seen so many people waking up to how awful government and the authorities are. Even some blue friends are starting to wake up. My sister who is double vaxxed now doesn't want the booster AND she started reading RFK Jr's book on the Real Fauci (which I left strategically in the guest room :). She got hooked so I gave her a copy.
All that said, we may have to divide the country. And I do understand that the Bolsheviks will do everything they can to prevent losing control over everyone. But the more Bolshevik the Bolsheviks act, the more they lose support.
Truthfully, I wont be able to trust most of my friends or family after this. While I am maintaining a cordial relationship with them for the time being, the insight I have gained with regard to their views on personal accountability and one’s body autonomy (or lack there of) has left me widely disturbed.
I suppose a positive (or negative depending on how you view it) by-product of the last 2 years has been the ability to see beneath the thin veneer of your neighbour’s disarming smile, and see the terrified communist that dwells within.
amen, trust God/Holy Spirit only, ppl are incredibly fallible, even your spouse and children. The bible has become so alive to me over the last 2 years.
Honestly, I’m not religious at all, but I respect your views nonetheless. Regardless if you believe in it or not, there are a lot of good traditional values that are taught throughout, and they should not be overlooked.
Morals, Values and common sense missing from our society today. The elites want us to believe they’re our god and care about our lives- they want us dependent on their existence. They’re only desire is to enslave and control us while they do as they please. Self- reliance is a dirty word and idea.
With the coming economic collapse of 2022 - 2032, there is hope that a work ethic will once again be restored and religion will again become important.
I’m not sold on religion. I’m a believer in the redemptive power of Jesus and having a personal relationship with Him. Religion is just one group of humans trying to control another group by oppressive legalism. Jesus didn’t have much to do with the Pharisees for that very reason.
Same problem here! I can no longer relate to 70% of my friends, family and co-workers if they did take the death jab. I consider them stupid, at best. I wonder if there comes a moment i will rid them out of my life forever....
I can't fault the folks who got vaccinated while the original strain was still dominant, as getting a severe case could be terminal. What most of us learned quickly was that severe cases are very rare, and the jab wasn't particularly safe or efficacious. The ones who are still gullible a year later are so heavily conditioned that they will fade out of my life naturally, but I will remain cordial until they withdraw.
wow, that's profound. Many I'm having trouble with are apparently alcohol/pot controlled. The head in the sand mentality. I personally have struggled more with drinking bottles of wine every day until January 2021 I seriously realised it was a problem that I was using to cope. Since that awakening, God has been near.
It was more that as therapeutics were being tried by credentialed doctors, and as they were being censored, I was incredulous. Plus then it was realizing you were being directed to let the virus “cook” in you untreated for 14 days and then you could be sent to the ER, only not to be treated. Huh???? How could you trust any doctor who put their job over your health? Especially when there were some who were daring to discover treatments that worked. Politics over real science. The last thing you wanted was to be placed at the mercy of some hospital “system”. see FLCCC.
I never did, my in-laws are all Progressive Liberals, little contact with my side as we are so far apart in ages. Problem they grew up, scattered when they were old enough to leave a small dirt poor town that was coming out of the Great Depression, 6 girls, most in different states, I'm in the tail end generation. I even disowned my youngest sister, for failing to attend our only brothers Memorial. She was to busy partying and posting it on FB.
I left home at 18, the next sister who I love to pieces had to deal with her Narcistic ME attitude. Knock down drag out fights. Very selfish. Not even so much as Flowers for his Memorial, which we did at the middle sister's who has a heart of gold, home, the very old fashion way. CD music, his friends and what few relatives around, even the oldest cousin who had just recovered from a heart attack, each spoke, had a card table set up with the Brass urn I bought, photos, deli trays, sodas, Tea, coffee. He had just about a $1,000. Couldn't afford the funeral homes $400 marble urn, I got a nice Brass one on line, FedEx it. We traveled 800 miles 1 way.
I guess every family has one (or two)- my dad was in hospice at home and my one sister was in the kitchen asking my brother in law about her "inheritance"- my mom is still alive mind you, and she is asking about inheritance when mom is living and we don't know what $ she will need in the near future for her care? Oh here's an additional story: Two of us planned and paid for a party for my parent's 60th anniversary. My one sister (same as above) complained that there was "nothing there for her to eat" (she's a vegan) and "why isn't there an open bar?"- she contributed ZERO to the event. ZERO- yet she complains about the party she had no hand in planning. What is WRONG with people like this? We were raised by the same parents. What happened to her? I can't figure it out, but it started in middle school sometime - being the "victim".
We were talking about this at a get-together last night: the people we know who got the jabs who are now losing their minds as dementia or Alzheimer's-like symptoms are setting in.
Depending on which of the three shot versions they've received and how many times they've been poked, the likelihood of your friends, family, and acquaintances who've been jabbed living even 8 more years is highly dubious.
What we're going to do for everyone who suddenly needs long-term care, though--is a serious concern.
My 95 year old mom already has memory problems...this is probably exacerbating things, sadly. This is terrifying if it holds to be true! (But now that you talk about it, I have two girlfriends, my age, from childhood with whom I talk to on the phone, and when I finish the conversation I have told my husband, "whew, it's like talking to my mom!" (they aren't "getting" things....!)
Same, but I'm separating myself from many people. If I cannot respect them, how can I even like them ?Today I was invited to an afternoon New Years get together. No mention of vax status. Last week the same host sent out a cocktail party invite saying bring your papers-you must be triple jabbed. I can no longer make sense of any of it-the hypocrisy, the idiocy, the obedience to a senseless agenda. I'm voting for sanity and some quality me time.
I agree with you. I'd already whittled down my list by the time COVID hit, but it's shorter yet today. It would be nice if we could find like minds to visit with in person, though.
I miss the days of socializing and meeting new people. The only thing that has kept me sane is my work that focuses on stories of using life's bumps as a pivot into a more conscious and meaningful life. Thanks to zoom et al I meet great people all over the world. It keeps my world interesting and ever expanding. Without that inspiration and mindset on a daily basis, I cannot imagine what life might be like!
What a great line of work to be in at the moment! I work from home as well (from my recliner, literally!), writing holistically-oriented pet health articles. I sometimes need a reminder (which you provided!) of how blessed I am to be able to do this and avoid not only the "rat race," but also all the mandates so many people are trying to figure out how to deal with.
I'm going to start a substack feed for the podcast too. I really like this platform. There's unusually intelligent conversation and I hope I can bring that to BumpInTheRoad too. So many great topics and ideas to discuss!
I think my relative isolation has saved my sanity. I don't watch tv, but I read and research extensively. The distance has given me perspective on events. And if I ever need to hear the mainstream mantra, all I have to do is listen to the memes that people unconsciously repeat.
I feel you. I had a Christmas eve invite rescinded because of my vaccination status. A single guest objected, and instead of standing up to that one guest and saying "all are invited, if you are uncomfortable and can't come, I understand", it was: since this boostered guest is scared you can't come.
FU to those people. I can't be friends with people who either lack the critical thinking skills to see through this BS or who are too afraid to stand up for the truth.
My good friend had a traditional nice upbringing (I had anything but) and continued to believe the elite had his best interests at heart until YESTERDAY, a week after his booster, when he called to say he just got tested for Covid and it's positive. I was nice, not smug, but I told him he was fooled because he is a nice guy. But Im human and fallible and couldn't stop myself from throwing in a dig (he was a standup comedian for years so I had to hit hard):
"Look, you were a classic sheep, a total useful idiot, and it's breathtaking that you didn't see the constant sweaty lies from obviously venal sociopaths and I lost respect for you, I can't help it, cuz you are ignorant and lazy and you were so smug and self righteous and I'll always remember you and your mask and your fear and thank god you are totally inconsequential, cuz you could not have been worse for the people around you who might've seen it earlier if not for your constant cheerleading for Fauci et al, but here's the thing: it's not over just cuz YOU get it now. You are finally awake but there's more work to be done, and yes I can mock you for a few cheap laughs going forward and that will cheer me up a little bit, but let's see how you do in the coming year, cuz evil people are gonna be throwing a few haymakers, and I wanna see if you step up to the fight or crumble like a dainty little lemming before I ever trust you again". He laughed, then he heard silence on the phone, then finally said "Oh".
He's a truly great guy, but "My patience Is wearing thin" as Brandon said. My friend even called me after that Biden speech to say even though he had the two shots at that time it was a terrible speech. We talked for over an hour, and you're right about my post, but I was all over the place on the call. He knows something is up now, but he'd take issue with a couple things, then I'd push back with a few facts, he'd agree, then take issue, Id push back, and repeat (ha). He's been a friend for nearly 40 years and about 25 years ago he pulled a stranger out of a burning car (my friend demurred, "Naw, I just undid his seatbelt", but he won some medal in Arizona and is truly, truly a good guy. Which to me, because obviously I'm a mess, makes his abject fear of the plandemic even more bizarre: he's demonstrated selfless courage, and his usual humble nature is a wonderful trait that I've tried to emulate, but I failed on the humble part and he went through a fairly brief period of lecturing me about my duty to others (he is a Libertarian but it went out the window when about a year ago he said "Fred, I don't want a guy walking around without a mask and possibly infecting me. Or my wife. Or you for that matter, so if somebody has Covid I believe he should be locked inside his house for a couple weeks". (He lives in LA) When I asked him how that would be implemented (we talk often) he said "Id have to think about it", and when I asked him about Covid's primary targets, like say the obese, and said "Why not lock them up now as a precautionary measure - for their own good as well as ours" he said I was being sarcastic and he wouldn't answer. I told him I was going to get my younger daughter to ask the same question, she doesn't have a sarcastic bone in her body, and he said "That's great, she can be your puppet". To prove I am not perfect (I know, no need) I was of the mind that somebody as funny as he is would be more immune to the "elite" lies, but maybe he's not as funny as I thought? Hmm, Im not sure why Im joking about this, Im freaked out for my two daughters (both in college, one going back on-line) and usually I feel impotent rage (impotent cuz my two daughters have remained unjabbed, by their own volition and my whole hearted endorsement, but I noticed fairly early on that they don't love me screaming out of moving cars or having long, earnest, very long talks for a long time with total strangers who ask my daughters to mask up in, say, a gym. Thank you (sincerely) so much for asking about this, Im not good at this internet stuff but Alex's site here on substack has been my one and only outlet, unless my friend's epiphany remains intact and my diatribe over the phone hasn't pushed him back into Fauci's or Xi's or Biden's or Gates' or Zuckerberg's et al's arms!
Maybe your friend is neither as funny, humble, nor intelligent as you've long assumed him to be. And I bet you're a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for.
I, too, find companionship here among this crowd of Alex's readers and supporters. I don't know a single person (other than myself) who rejects the government propaganda about covid and the "vaccines."
It is. I haven’t lost any yet, but I know it’s coming. Right now all are being careful to stay off topic of politics/Covid to avoid an ending of a friendship but it’s like this looming cloud. Thank god my friend of almost 50 years feels like I do, but still she will cave and get the jab if her employer forces it on her as they don’t recognize natural immunity (she’s had Covid twice and did get a T defect test that shows high antibodies). She’s the only source of income and too young to retire and no pension to live off of. I’m afraid for her and she’s not a fighter. Even after this test, her doctor that she likes says she should get the jab. Personally, and I told her so, that if it were my doctor, I’d be out of there pronto because she oughta know better. It irks me, though, she’ll listen to this doctor and not me knowing I do my research and wouldn’t give her false info.
Scarily true...or to not know that some BFFs had no critical thinking skills. Shows how superficial these "friendships" were in the first place though..But SO MANY scared into submission out there. (Just watched the beginning of "Inglorious Bastards"- just the first 10 min. watch it and know that your neighbor wouldn't have hidden you under the floorboards).
The one thing that has worked is that even people who don’t like what’s happening have told me they just don’t have the means to survive without an income and too young to retire. They are giving in for this reason only. If it weren’t for that, I doubt I’d have anything to do with some of these people ever again.
There are now so many resources (legal & otherwise) they can utilize to fight these illegal mandates. Peggy Hall at TheHealthyAmerican.com has a lot of great info. Also Children’s Health Defense. Look up ‘ways to fight covid mandates’ for more. We have the power; we’ll win this when we stop giving it away.
Yes, we do have the power, but these people feel that they don’t or can’t deal with the legal challenges. I’m resilient, but most I know don’t. It’s quite sad. I’ll check out Peggy Hall - thanks. I do get Children's Health publication.
I’m not sure I understand. They are getting jabbed to pay the bills. They can’t afford to leave a good paying job and only get minimum wage, if they are lucky to find work at all. I got lucky that I can take my pension early even though it’s not much and my part-time work supplements it. If my husband wasn’t working and if mandates go through, we have no choice but to sell our home or we’d be homeless. It’s a legitimate fear for many esp. those with families. I think they’ll realize too late that if they’d all had just stood up and said NO at the beginning, we wouldn’t have lost our freedom. Even if things get reversed which I hope they do, the damage is done and we all then have to pick up the pieces of this mess!
My daughter was willing to lose her job (said NO at the beginning) and because they really didn't want to lose her, they accepted a waiver from her Dr. It was a lot of work on her and my and her dad's part to provide this emotional and physical support- no I get that people are for the most part caving. Many did at her work place also, who initially stood by and with her. She never backed down. Proud as hell of her. She also just got a promotion- I truly believe her supervisors are looking at what she did as a plus. Shows that she sticks to her word and isn't just a follower. I can't speak for people who are in this position- it has to be horribly difficult. I am retired and have no idea what I would have done-
What man intends for evil, God uses for good. True since the beginning of time. I have seen good come from this plandemic: the exposure of The Swamp creatures, being just one example.
Don't give up on them. You guys will see me say this alot but WE have to build community. Not just like minded ppl but being the catalysts in our own radius of friends/family/neighbors. Avoid the toxic folks for sure but ppl need to break bread together MORE and enjoy a good drink or firepit or whatever. I'm also willing to bet the folks most hypnotized right now watch an inordinate amount of TV. I enjoy sports and documentaries and some movies here and there but rarely get into shows. All the p I know who are all into shows seem to be the most glazed over lol
Meeting with my ukulele group today for those who wish to come. The President of the group canceled today's practice because of omicron (smh)- so this isn't a "legit" practice in his eyes. (who cares?) How about letting adults make their own health and well-being decisions? I know a few people will show up- but the rest of the board members said "yes, let's cancel to keep everyone safe"- ??? Yes, they actually said that. I like making music with these people, but man, they have been brainwashed. I am not giving up and keep a smiling face while I sing and strum. (It's the healthy thing to do!)
Thanks! I will...and the next time I see a member of my group in the grill having a mixed drink and fried food, I will take it away from them, because you know..."safety"!
I agree. My eyes have been opened to some family members ridiculous Covid beliefs. And progressive politics that have left me dumbfounded and rocked to my core. So much so, that I’ve changed my end of life plan.
Thus you now appreciate how mass hysteria created some awful human abuses of the past. Have heart, many are seeing the lies exposed as Omicron arrives and policy failures become obvious. Collectives cannot replace individual autonomy without force. We can hope that mild force doesn't turn serious before awareness arrives.
I trust the science. The science says that “all cause mortality” is higher in the jabbed than the unjabbed. That’s all I need to know. Take vitamins, eat well, exercise, and don’t be afraid. (Normalizing children having heart attacks and strokes is just too much, no?)
It is the conditioning of mostly the 20-40 year old liberal parents which causes them to:
Become masked sheeple.
Keep their kids away from the grandparents out of misplaced fear.
Line their kids up for shots and the grandparents for boosters so that if will be safe for the kids to see granny again.
Even worse than that are the grandparents who should know better demanding that the little kids be jabbed to protect granny. This goes against everything I ever experienced regarding grandparents who are usually totally selfless with their own grandchildren and other young kids. I called my late wife "The Fairy Grandmother" because she adopted and was generous to so many kids that came into her orbit.
That was made worse when the War on Intractable Pain dominated, it was their idiot college kids ODing on Fen laced Meth, Heroin, etc. I hid my 7.8 NORCO. Now few gets relief from pain, unless you have cancer, Grandma couldn't be trusted to keep it locked up, teens were stealing grandmas pain pills. Got news for the SHEEPLE YOU RAISED YOUR KIDS WRONG. By HS they were already doing MMJ. COLLEGE GAVE them access to the strong stuff laced with China-Fen. WE NOW HAVE A WIDE OPEN BORDERS. It even comes in Via USPS. EVERY CONTAINER SHIP. IMAGE
Indeed! And eating well means a diet that will prevent or reverse the markers of metabolic syndrome. Big agribusiness, big pharma, and many doctors don't get that.
Unless you grow your own food, you don't no where it comes from. I grew up in the 50-60's certain food was seasonal back then, not pumped full of chemicals to make them bigger, or a cow produce more milk, got news for them I stopped drinking milk when it was pure Holstein it was hard to digest had big globules, vs the Jersey/Guernsey milk that was sweeter, small globules. That was when kids started getting Autism, Colic, stomach problems, now you have infants on Nexium. Mom's stopped Breast feeding. Went to work to afford that bigger house, new car take vacations to Disney rather than their grandparents.
I agree with you. My Fl cardiologist and my GP both focus on vitamins, eating healthy, sleep, exercise, etc. neither one mentioned the jab at all. So neither did I.
I trust almost no one. Alex Berenson has been informative. It frankly, I come for the sub stack comments where everyone seems to have just a twist of cynicism.
More people should have been raised to question everything, do some research and above all…don’t panic because the worst possible decisions are made while in a panicked state. 😳
gotta love Dr Malone! I hope he is correct about lost people waking up when they see 'totalitarianism' but sadly i think that is exactly what they want, to be told what to do and feeling that it is the right thing to do...and then right over the cliff...
Agree. Several 3x Jabbers have told me they feel safer with government leaders taking control and making the decisions. They are willing to cede freedom for safety.
But really when you are told that the riots you are seeing are mostly peaceful, when a 20 year old punches a 60 year old in the face for carrying an American flag and everyone shrugs their collective shoulders, when a Chinese refugee from communism points out that CRT is Maoist Red Guard aka ANTIFA and the media censors her, when we learn school boards are introducing porn to 1st and 2nd graders and the MSM supports it, when women’s sports are upended and universities encourage it, when evil becomes good and good evil…when you put skirts on men soldiers… and you can’t or won’t quantify it, we have lost our way…something terrible is up.
Hitler said that terror will always succeed unless countered by equal or greater terror. I think you may be right. We should not argue facts to counter group-think. Instead, we should argue emotionally that totalitarianism is a far greater threat than Sars-Cov-2.
we need to argue that 'caring for others', compassion, empathy, etc. is how people are supposed to live. Terror has been around for a long time but how much do the people in those societies succeed with that reigning over their heads?
Well said. At the risk of pissing off some atheists, I trust in only one. No matter what happens next, the world has always been full of terror, death and terrible history. This is just another chapter in a long book. I will fight fiercely if need be but hope for the better part of humanity as you stated above. Fighting and greed has been the impetus for all the wrong being imposed on the world now.
amen! we always want peace before making decisions. GOD WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT! NEVER make a decision without peace. SAtan will always rush you and shame you...beware of those cues from others around you..(go Brandon)!
*** Eisenhower went way beyond the MIC in his Farewell Address, and Eisenhower nailed it back then:
“In the same fashion the free university – historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery – has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
“Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
Interesting how we only hear about one little section of that amazing speech.
Eisenhower did warn us not only for the military/industrial complex. Eisenhower included the scientific complex in the warning. or in his words:
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
"Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society."
I would revise that as the pharmaceutical/medical/agricultural/political complex, as they're all working in tandem to destroy our health and wellbeing.
Look up the Rhine meadow massacre,where Eisenhower ordered the murder of thousands of German troops in cold blood at the end of the war,don't big up a mass murderer.
Wow, that was good! You covered a lot of the basis. Unfortunately, when we get into the powerful people running the show we must realize how long this was in the making. I fear that when people wake up from this they’ll be swayed into another debacle to maintain the ultimate goal - depopulation and transhumism thus creating another feudal system.
I believe this time is the closest this Country has come to Socialism and Marxism. SOME people know something is terribly wrong right now similar to the 1917/18 Russian people RIGHT before the Bolshevik takeover.
That’s because they can use that philosophy to push the agenda. My intuition tells me it’s not socialism or Marxism the elites (Great Reset) is after. It’s depopulation (not enough resources has been documented for decades) and a feudal like system. Everyone left alive works for a few big corporations owned by guess who and rents from the same. All the money that’s been pushed into modern medicine to transhumanize will make the peasants comply.
I've just been praying lately, Lord, why am I feeling so lonely lately? I'm counting on you for friendship and directing me to ppl who are seeking you that I can trust. I know we are to be encouragers to others, but it gets downright hard watching ppl self destruct around me and they have NOTHING to give.
mob mentality, group think! heard a pastor say "you will never find Jesus in Mob Mentality" it is true, you have to know your own heart and hear God in the Word on your own , you'll not find your God in others or your parents salvation. Dont mean that to sound overly religious. Jesus came to re-introduce US TO OURSELVES! That self(our heart) that we got cut off from intimacy with ourselves, either thru abuses...sexual, emotional, verbal, physical abuse. Even inuendo and teachers who were cut off from their hearts ergo they helped cut us off from our hearts by hurtful or outright shaming comments.
Yes, easier to believe that than doing your own investigation. What are your priorities I would ask the mind numb robots, obviously not your health/nutrition/your children. And if you challenge them, you get dropped as a friend + you are "so negative" and how dare you burst my bubble I have been told.
But you can't live that way. There are people you can trust, and when you find them, nurture that relationship. I am not making light of what you are saying: I have terminated many -- hell, most -- relationships over the last two years. But I've gained a couple I treasure.
Branch covidians. Fauci is their pope. People like offit and hotez and wen are their priest class. Malone and McCullough are the heretics. Vax as their sacrament.
It seems they let covid insanity replace politics in their god shaped hole.
Speaking of "the children". Isn't it also ironic that the media began its campaign on the normalcy of youth heart attacks around the same time child jabs rolled out? "Oh, Denise, you didn't know children had heart attacks at such an early age? You've really got to get off that right wing media stuff and look at the science".
Don’t forget to give a massive amount of credit to the Communist Party of China. If we’re not already servants of them, we’re at least breathtakingly close.
Step back even further, to the past 6+ years, in this world of down is up, bad is good, injustice is justice, wrong is right, crazy, in lock-step narrative...perhaps we should have seen this coming. It's all "hidden" in plain sight.
I’m reading “Ordinary Men” by Christopher Browning - how regular police and retired army came to do the day-to-day shooting and deporting of the Germany’s Final Solution.
We are on a malevolence gradient. They were ordered by superiors and paid.
What is worse now is that the
ObersturmKärenführers are free-lance: neither organized and directed nor paid.
I believe Ghandi should be the example to follow. Millions of silent Americans simply sitting down together and not moving. Passively saying no more. They WANT violence from this side to give excuses for them to “protect” themselves.
Yet the recent polls and VA election have produced a shift in the WH. The overlords are worried. For a year the masks of progressivism had been dropped. They took down a sitting President after all with massive lies a la Harry Reid. And so many believed…Don’t you know, they have moved on from a constitutional republic? Time to clamp down on those stupid quaint folk in love with their guns and religion. Did you not know that the O was one of them?
The biggest difference is that they were shooting the disarmed and pathologically peaceful Jews. This time, they’re targeting the most armed and trained subgroup of society.
Who has more powerful weapons - the federal government or individual American citizens who own a gun? We can't win this war with weapons of war. Honestly, I don't think we can win it, period.
There were some Jews who, with the help of some of the Polish resistance, managed to acquire weapons and staged an armed resistance against the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto. It was an amazing feat of heroism and bravery. Of course they were doomed to failure, but this does give the lie to the idea that all Jews are pathologically pacifist.
Defeatist attitude. The reds aren’t an occupying force, they live here. F15 pilots have to return home, generals drive cars. Stop thinking like an infantry force and start thinking like an insurgency.
I agree. This can also be done via FaceTime. Do it with friends once a week. We are from several states and counties within states. Recently added Divine Mercy Chaplet to the Rosary and St Michael prayer. Forming small groups to help one another with info and eventually supplies.
Truthbird, in the end we did put an end to the Holocaust albeit not without tremendous sacrifice. We must become Joan of Arc. We must expect to be Christ’s sacrifice itself for truth.
"Who has more and more powerful weapons - the federal government or individual American citizens who own a gun? We can't win this war with weapons of war."
Yes he also mentioned the hit piece on him in the Atlantic in detail during the Rogan show, and then added more detail about the Atlantic in this interview - well worth listening to the whole thing:
I’d never heard of Rogan before 2020. Alex’s interview first one I watched. I didn’t think anything could top McCulloughs. I was wrong. Didn’t expect to be so impressed with Malone. It’s a must listen. The systematic destruction of dissenters with decades of impeccable careers, is one of the most frightening things. Malone points to some real heavy weight backers coordinating this. I can’t believe he called out Blackrock, vanguard, essentially central banks. Man…. He’s one brave dude
I watched it. I’ve heard Dr. Malone in other interviews from Brett Weinstein to Global Covid Summit, so I knew how keen he was. Was good to hear his perspective on mass psychosis. Additionally, his experience in regulatory law brought in a different dimension to the conversation.
Thank you to Peter and Paul (only missing Mary here, LOL, for those who are old codgers like me) for the alternative links. I have a technical issue with Spotify, so I am grateful for alternatives.
Just watched, and I think this was Malone at his very best. I think I saw a side of him that I haven't seen in other interviews. I think I saw a little bit of what he might be like when he's dealing with friends, neighbors, and family far away from the necessarily cultivated professionalism of the podcast circuit.
Yes, it's so valuable to have alternate link sources and YES, that interview is pure GOLD! So refreshing..like he was visibly exhaling a huge sigh of relief with each truth he didn't have to self-censor. 👍
I agree. It's like after awhile he relaxed and became more "conversational". There might truly be method in Joe Rogan's madness of the insanely long form interview. It brings the person out one way or the other.
Looks like this came straight after the Rogan interview. You can find that one easily by a simple search on Spotify. I suggest you listen to Rogan first, and then this. (Need over 4 hours clear time but definitely worth it!)
After all we've been put through during the past two years, I pose the following question:
Do you trust the “Science”?
Trust the government?
Trust the Politicians?
Trust Fauci?
Trust actors, pop stars, athletes, social media "influencers"
Do you trust the pharmaceutical industry? https://tritorch.com/wiz
The doctors on the take from the drug pushers? https://tritorch.com/sak
The WEF, the WHO, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The CIA, the CFR, the FBI, the NIH, the CDC, the FDA
The UN, the EU, UNESCO, USAID?
The Rothchilds, the Rockefellers, the Royal Family?
The masked burly men in the park?
The brainwashed housewives at the supermarket?
The entertainment industry, the tabloids, the social media corporations?
The Fourth Estate, Fifth Column (the media)?
If after two years into this fraud you still trust any of the above entities, then you've already lost.
But maybe there is still hope now that the globalists are directly targeting children with their poison injections...
When they start dropping dead in classrooms in greater numbers people like you are, hopefully, going to finally start waking up to what is actually occurring here, and then maybe, just maybe, we can then turn the tide.
Hope springs eternal.

By the way, they are trying to normalize the idea that children dying from heart attacks is normal, when it is the vaccine:

Ummm, NO! But I think I trust the sheep even less!! They keep pushing us toward the cliff! I just want critical thinkers back.
Wait, what about the lemmings? Sheep aren't that dumb. 🐀🐀🐏🐏😱
Yeah, I feel bad for the actual sheep who would know better! 😂😳
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have personal experience of the truculence and outright aggression that sheep will exhibit, if they're cornered, or you seem to be threatening their lambs. To compare people to sheep may be to malign them (the sheep, that is).
See my much earlier comment (on Alex Berenson or Steve Kirsch; I don't recall). Apparently rather few critical thinkers since the Enlightenment.
Did not see your comment but we need to rename enlightenment…all I know is in Wa the double mask wearers who are lining their kids up for the jab are the same ones whose kids ride motorized scooters with no shoes or helmet but you guessed it, wearing a mask!!! You just can’t make it up!!! 😂😂😂
Or very few questioning the advice of a physician as he/she speaks from the pocket of Big pHarma. “Get the pneumonia/flu/shingles/HPV/Hib/anthrax jab. Take the statins, the bone health infusions… and do not ask why or ask about the efficacy. Just do it.”
you really need to be your own doctor now because most have failed us
Agreed. Luckily, my doctor is a young conservative who sees through all the BS.
and you'll be better than they would be at this point
well you are one of them now, so let's get going..
LOL Our masks are off in our deep blue mandated state and no jab here even if we have to lose our jobs. We are HUGE fans of Let's Go Brandon....let's go!!
masks off here too. we need a leader which sure is not going to be of the current government, so folks need to get it on with the 'alternative' good folks
Alex? el gato malo? steve kirsch?
While I don't exactly trust the sheep - the sheep are more trustworthy than any politician. Remember that the majority of Americans were against the Iraq War of 2003. They were totally against the bank bailouts of 2009/10/11/..../21. They are mostly against mass illegal immigration. So as dumb as they've made us, the average American (elite and pseudo elite Americans are scary, I'll grant you that) is far better than the average politician.
And the most important thing is that we give up our insane and unexamined belief that giving up our authority to "government" will somehow work out better than simply being responsible for ourselves. Study, then commit to voluntaryism and the non-Aggression principle.
Please read this book to save yourself from belief in "government"! https://themostdangeroussuperstition.com/
Respectfully, although I don't disagree with your opinions, I believe they fall short of describing the truth of "the sheep". Maybe it is because I live in a blue state and work in the peripheral of education but what started as a movement in our colleges has taken all schools (most private too) hostage. The education system is creating an entire generation of "know it all" and "entitled" young people who believe everything they are fed. I would love to believe that reading a book would turn this ship around but I don't think most understand the reality of how large an influence the "elites" have and how far the reach has become. We have an undereducated, under motivated and over stimulated generation who we are depending on government to bail out their student loans, provide their retirement and a lifestyle they see on social media. So, no, I don't trust the sheep, I sit in meetings and am astounded at the arrogance that accompanies their narrow vision. I don't believe they would read your book or any of the other great ones that have been written by very educated people who have lived a long life and have much to offer all of us with their wisdom!
I hear you re: the youth. Though I'll say I've been equally shocked for several years now to find parents as far gone as their kids. I don't quite know how that happened as the ADL type groups didn't have direct access to the parents like they do the kids.
I do know that there is no way that government and existing parties are going to lead us out of this mess. We truly must replace government with voluntary organization. There are two political planks worth pursuing:
- Approval Voting (much better than ranked voting) - Yes votes = 1 point, no ranking. So if a Dem who was waking to the corruption of the parties votes for Bill Clinton and Ross Perot, a Republican who was waking to the corruption of the parties votes for George Bush Sr and Ross Perot and finally the Independent who knows deeply of the corruption of the parties votes only for Perot - then Perot wins in a landslide with 3x the votes of either opponent. (see how much better that is than ranking?)
- Next platform is something like this: "Vote for me and my party! We will reduce every aspect of government and simultaneously work with you to replace it with voluntary organization."
The good news is that I've never seen so many people waking up to how awful government and the authorities are. Even some blue friends are starting to wake up. My sister who is double vaxxed now doesn't want the booster AND she started reading RFK Jr's book on the Real Fauci (which I left strategically in the guest room :). She got hooked so I gave her a copy.
All that said, we may have to divide the country. And I do understand that the Bolsheviks will do everything they can to prevent losing control over everyone. But the more Bolshevik the Bolsheviks act, the more they lose support.
Prayers on!
We should all get together and form our own country.
There's some ones emptying out in Central America that we can use.
hilarious
Truthfully, I wont be able to trust most of my friends or family after this. While I am maintaining a cordial relationship with them for the time being, the insight I have gained with regard to their views on personal accountability and one’s body autonomy (or lack there of) has left me widely disturbed.
I suppose a positive (or negative depending on how you view it) by-product of the last 2 years has been the ability to see beneath the thin veneer of your neighbour’s disarming smile, and see the terrified communist that dwells within.
amen, trust God/Holy Spirit only, ppl are incredibly fallible, even your spouse and children. The bible has become so alive to me over the last 2 years.
Honestly, I’m not religious at all, but I respect your views nonetheless. Regardless if you believe in it or not, there are a lot of good traditional values that are taught throughout, and they should not be overlooked.
Morals, Values and common sense missing from our society today. The elites want us to believe they’re our god and care about our lives- they want us dependent on their existence. They’re only desire is to enslave and control us while they do as they please. Self- reliance is a dirty word and idea.
Remember- He who feeds you can also starve you.
With the coming economic collapse of 2022 - 2032, there is hope that a work ethic will once again be restored and religion will again become important.
I’m not sold on religion. I’m a believer in the redemptive power of Jesus and having a personal relationship with Him. Religion is just one group of humans trying to control another group by oppressive legalism. Jesus didn’t have much to do with the Pharisees for that very reason.
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he can eat every day. Or something to that effect…
Same problem here! I can no longer relate to 70% of my friends, family and co-workers if they did take the death jab. I consider them stupid, at best. I wonder if there comes a moment i will rid them out of my life forever....
I can't fault the folks who got vaccinated while the original strain was still dominant, as getting a severe case could be terminal. What most of us learned quickly was that severe cases are very rare, and the jab wasn't particularly safe or efficacious. The ones who are still gullible a year later are so heavily conditioned that they will fade out of my life naturally, but I will remain cordial until they withdraw.
wow, that's profound. Many I'm having trouble with are apparently alcohol/pot controlled. The head in the sand mentality. I personally have struggled more with drinking bottles of wine every day until January 2021 I seriously realised it was a problem that I was using to cope. Since that awakening, God has been near.
Bless you.
It was more that as therapeutics were being tried by credentialed doctors, and as they were being censored, I was incredulous. Plus then it was realizing you were being directed to let the virus “cook” in you untreated for 14 days and then you could be sent to the ER, only not to be treated. Huh???? How could you trust any doctor who put their job over your health? Especially when there were some who were daring to discover treatments that worked. Politics over real science. The last thing you wanted was to be placed at the mercy of some hospital “system”. see FLCCC.
I never did, my in-laws are all Progressive Liberals, little contact with my side as we are so far apart in ages. Problem they grew up, scattered when they were old enough to leave a small dirt poor town that was coming out of the Great Depression, 6 girls, most in different states, I'm in the tail end generation. I even disowned my youngest sister, for failing to attend our only brothers Memorial. She was to busy partying and posting it on FB.
ooh...ouch.And I thought I had a horrible sister.
I left home at 18, the next sister who I love to pieces had to deal with her Narcistic ME attitude. Knock down drag out fights. Very selfish. Not even so much as Flowers for his Memorial, which we did at the middle sister's who has a heart of gold, home, the very old fashion way. CD music, his friends and what few relatives around, even the oldest cousin who had just recovered from a heart attack, each spoke, had a card table set up with the Brass urn I bought, photos, deli trays, sodas, Tea, coffee. He had just about a $1,000. Couldn't afford the funeral homes $400 marble urn, I got a nice Brass one on line, FedEx it. We traveled 800 miles 1 way.
I guess every family has one (or two)- my dad was in hospice at home and my one sister was in the kitchen asking my brother in law about her "inheritance"- my mom is still alive mind you, and she is asking about inheritance when mom is living and we don't know what $ she will need in the near future for her care? Oh here's an additional story: Two of us planned and paid for a party for my parent's 60th anniversary. My one sister (same as above) complained that there was "nothing there for her to eat" (she's a vegan) and "why isn't there an open bar?"- she contributed ZERO to the event. ZERO- yet she complains about the party she had no hand in planning. What is WRONG with people like this? We were raised by the same parents. What happened to her? I can't figure it out, but it started in middle school sometime - being the "victim".
You did the right thing, and you can rest easy that you did. She can't (but somehow probably rationalizes her behavior)-!
Sad 😔 but I understand. My sister is pitiful, too long to post
that is so sad
you can't choose the damn family!- sometimes family, isn't blood.
love it!
For me it's unfortunately more like 95 %. Only people who are really on board with me are my husband and my mom. But they are all that matter anyway.
We were talking about this at a get-together last night: the people we know who got the jabs who are now losing their minds as dementia or Alzheimer's-like symptoms are setting in.
Depending on which of the three shot versions they've received and how many times they've been poked, the likelihood of your friends, family, and acquaintances who've been jabbed living even 8 more years is highly dubious.
What we're going to do for everyone who suddenly needs long-term care, though--is a serious concern.
My 95 year old mom already has memory problems...this is probably exacerbating things, sadly. This is terrifying if it holds to be true! (But now that you talk about it, I have two girlfriends, my age, from childhood with whom I talk to on the phone, and when I finish the conversation I have told my husband, "whew, it's like talking to my mom!" (they aren't "getting" things....!)
Same, but I'm separating myself from many people. If I cannot respect them, how can I even like them ?Today I was invited to an afternoon New Years get together. No mention of vax status. Last week the same host sent out a cocktail party invite saying bring your papers-you must be triple jabbed. I can no longer make sense of any of it-the hypocrisy, the idiocy, the obedience to a senseless agenda. I'm voting for sanity and some quality me time.
I agree with you. I'd already whittled down my list by the time COVID hit, but it's shorter yet today. It would be nice if we could find like minds to visit with in person, though.
I miss the days of socializing and meeting new people. The only thing that has kept me sane is my work that focuses on stories of using life's bumps as a pivot into a more conscious and meaningful life. Thanks to zoom et al I meet great people all over the world. It keeps my world interesting and ever expanding. Without that inspiration and mindset on a daily basis, I cannot imagine what life might be like!
What a great line of work to be in at the moment! I work from home as well (from my recliner, literally!), writing holistically-oriented pet health articles. I sometimes need a reminder (which you provided!) of how blessed I am to be able to do this and avoid not only the "rat race," but also all the mandates so many people are trying to figure out how to deal with.
I'm going to start a substack feed for the podcast too. I really like this platform. There's unusually intelligent conversation and I hope I can bring that to BumpInTheRoad too. So many great topics and ideas to discuss!
I think my relative isolation has saved my sanity. I don't watch tv, but I read and research extensively. The distance has given me perspective on events. And if I ever need to hear the mainstream mantra, all I have to do is listen to the memes that people unconsciously repeat.
I feel you. I had a Christmas eve invite rescinded because of my vaccination status. A single guest objected, and instead of standing up to that one guest and saying "all are invited, if you are uncomfortable and can't come, I understand", it was: since this boostered guest is scared you can't come.
FU to those people. I can't be friends with people who either lack the critical thinking skills to see through this BS or who are too afraid to stand up for the truth.
I'm with you.
I never trusted people to begin with. This thing has just confirmed my suspicions.
My good friend had a traditional nice upbringing (I had anything but) and continued to believe the elite had his best interests at heart until YESTERDAY, a week after his booster, when he called to say he just got tested for Covid and it's positive. I was nice, not smug, but I told him he was fooled because he is a nice guy. But Im human and fallible and couldn't stop myself from throwing in a dig (he was a standup comedian for years so I had to hit hard):
"Look, you were a classic sheep, a total useful idiot, and it's breathtaking that you didn't see the constant sweaty lies from obviously venal sociopaths and I lost respect for you, I can't help it, cuz you are ignorant and lazy and you were so smug and self righteous and I'll always remember you and your mask and your fear and thank god you are totally inconsequential, cuz you could not have been worse for the people around you who might've seen it earlier if not for your constant cheerleading for Fauci et al, but here's the thing: it's not over just cuz YOU get it now. You are finally awake but there's more work to be done, and yes I can mock you for a few cheap laughs going forward and that will cheer me up a little bit, but let's see how you do in the coming year, cuz evil people are gonna be throwing a few haymakers, and I wanna see if you step up to the fight or crumble like a dainty little lemming before I ever trust you again". He laughed, then he heard silence on the phone, then finally said "Oh".
Holy guacamole!! What a diatribe. A work of art. Well spoken.
Wow. Good for you.
Did you really say this to him?
In your first paragraph you said your reply to him was "nice, not smug," but the diatribe which follows is heated and appropriately angry.
I'm not saying you should not have spoken like this to him; it just doesn't accord with what you said at first.
Do you still think of him as your "good friend?"
He's a truly great guy, but "My patience Is wearing thin" as Brandon said. My friend even called me after that Biden speech to say even though he had the two shots at that time it was a terrible speech. We talked for over an hour, and you're right about my post, but I was all over the place on the call. He knows something is up now, but he'd take issue with a couple things, then I'd push back with a few facts, he'd agree, then take issue, Id push back, and repeat (ha). He's been a friend for nearly 40 years and about 25 years ago he pulled a stranger out of a burning car (my friend demurred, "Naw, I just undid his seatbelt", but he won some medal in Arizona and is truly, truly a good guy. Which to me, because obviously I'm a mess, makes his abject fear of the plandemic even more bizarre: he's demonstrated selfless courage, and his usual humble nature is a wonderful trait that I've tried to emulate, but I failed on the humble part and he went through a fairly brief period of lecturing me about my duty to others (he is a Libertarian but it went out the window when about a year ago he said "Fred, I don't want a guy walking around without a mask and possibly infecting me. Or my wife. Or you for that matter, so if somebody has Covid I believe he should be locked inside his house for a couple weeks". (He lives in LA) When I asked him how that would be implemented (we talk often) he said "Id have to think about it", and when I asked him about Covid's primary targets, like say the obese, and said "Why not lock them up now as a precautionary measure - for their own good as well as ours" he said I was being sarcastic and he wouldn't answer. I told him I was going to get my younger daughter to ask the same question, she doesn't have a sarcastic bone in her body, and he said "That's great, she can be your puppet". To prove I am not perfect (I know, no need) I was of the mind that somebody as funny as he is would be more immune to the "elite" lies, but maybe he's not as funny as I thought? Hmm, Im not sure why Im joking about this, Im freaked out for my two daughters (both in college, one going back on-line) and usually I feel impotent rage (impotent cuz my two daughters have remained unjabbed, by their own volition and my whole hearted endorsement, but I noticed fairly early on that they don't love me screaming out of moving cars or having long, earnest, very long talks for a long time with total strangers who ask my daughters to mask up in, say, a gym. Thank you (sincerely) so much for asking about this, Im not good at this internet stuff but Alex's site here on substack has been my one and only outlet, unless my friend's epiphany remains intact and my diatribe over the phone hasn't pushed him back into Fauci's or Xi's or Biden's or Gates' or Zuckerberg's et al's arms!
Maybe your friend is neither as funny, humble, nor intelligent as you've long assumed him to be. And I bet you're a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for.
I, too, find companionship here among this crowd of Alex's readers and supporters. I don't know a single person (other than myself) who rejects the government propaganda about covid and the "vaccines."
PS, why do I do 50/50 Parentheses so often?
I know!! It both saddens and disappoints me immensely that I've lost so much respect for friends and loved ones these past two years.
Yeah me too! Will do my best, but feeling a lot of resentment as time drags on and that doesn’t feel good either.
It's so hard. I've lost lifetime friends. But I know and trust that this will make space for new connections and friendships.
It is. I haven’t lost any yet, but I know it’s coming. Right now all are being careful to stay off topic of politics/Covid to avoid an ending of a friendship but it’s like this looming cloud. Thank god my friend of almost 50 years feels like I do, but still she will cave and get the jab if her employer forces it on her as they don’t recognize natural immunity (she’s had Covid twice and did get a T defect test that shows high antibodies). She’s the only source of income and too young to retire and no pension to live off of. I’m afraid for her and she’s not a fighter. Even after this test, her doctor that she likes says she should get the jab. Personally, and I told her so, that if it were my doctor, I’d be out of there pronto because she oughta know better. It irks me, though, she’ll listen to this doctor and not me knowing I do my research and wouldn’t give her false info.
Scarily true...or to not know that some BFFs had no critical thinking skills. Shows how superficial these "friendships" were in the first place though..But SO MANY scared into submission out there. (Just watched the beginning of "Inglorious Bastards"- just the first 10 min. watch it and know that your neighbor wouldn't have hidden you under the floorboards).
Critical thinking has been traded for the addiction to fear. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/01/02/how-to-overcome-fear-addiction.aspx
The one thing that has worked is that even people who don’t like what’s happening have told me they just don’t have the means to survive without an income and too young to retire. They are giving in for this reason only. If it weren’t for that, I doubt I’d have anything to do with some of these people ever again.
There are now so many resources (legal & otherwise) they can utilize to fight these illegal mandates. Peggy Hall at TheHealthyAmerican.com has a lot of great info. Also Children’s Health Defense. Look up ‘ways to fight covid mandates’ for more. We have the power; we’ll win this when we stop giving it away.
Yes, we do have the power, but these people feel that they don’t or can’t deal with the legal challenges. I’m resilient, but most I know don’t. It’s quite sad. I’ll check out Peggy Hall - thanks. I do get Children's Health publication.
Having to work and go out in society will be the thing that saves them. If they are paying attention at all.
I’m not sure I understand. They are getting jabbed to pay the bills. They can’t afford to leave a good paying job and only get minimum wage, if they are lucky to find work at all. I got lucky that I can take my pension early even though it’s not much and my part-time work supplements it. If my husband wasn’t working and if mandates go through, we have no choice but to sell our home or we’d be homeless. It’s a legitimate fear for many esp. those with families. I think they’ll realize too late that if they’d all had just stood up and said NO at the beginning, we wouldn’t have lost our freedom. Even if things get reversed which I hope they do, the damage is done and we all then have to pick up the pieces of this mess!
My daughter was willing to lose her job (said NO at the beginning) and because they really didn't want to lose her, they accepted a waiver from her Dr. It was a lot of work on her and my and her dad's part to provide this emotional and physical support- no I get that people are for the most part caving. Many did at her work place also, who initially stood by and with her. She never backed down. Proud as hell of her. She also just got a promotion- I truly believe her supervisors are looking at what she did as a plus. Shows that she sticks to her word and isn't just a follower. I can't speak for people who are in this position- it has to be horribly difficult. I am retired and have no idea what I would have done-
What man intends for evil, God uses for good. True since the beginning of time. I have seen good come from this plandemic: the exposure of The Swamp creatures, being just one example.

Don't give up on them. You guys will see me say this alot but WE have to build community. Not just like minded ppl but being the catalysts in our own radius of friends/family/neighbors. Avoid the toxic folks for sure but ppl need to break bread together MORE and enjoy a good drink or firepit or whatever. I'm also willing to bet the folks most hypnotized right now watch an inordinate amount of TV. I enjoy sports and documentaries and some movies here and there but rarely get into shows. All the p I know who are all into shows seem to be the most glazed over lol
Build community kids. It's the only way out.
Agree. Break down barriers with kindness and compassion. “They know not what they do.” But do not allow abuse.
Meeting with my ukulele group today for those who wish to come. The President of the group canceled today's practice because of omicron (smh)- so this isn't a "legit" practice in his eyes. (who cares?) How about letting adults make their own health and well-being decisions? I know a few people will show up- but the rest of the board members said "yes, let's cancel to keep everyone safe"- ??? Yes, they actually said that. I like making music with these people, but man, they have been brainwashed. I am not giving up and keep a smiling face while I sing and strum. (It's the healthy thing to do!)
That ‘keep everyone safe’ just frosts me. No one has the power to keep anyone safe. 😬 keep on strummin’👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks! I will...and the next time I see a member of my group in the grill having a mixed drink and fried food, I will take it away from them, because you know..."safety"!
I agree. My eyes have been opened to some family members ridiculous Covid beliefs. And progressive politics that have left me dumbfounded and rocked to my core. So much so, that I’ve changed my end of life plan.
That's pretty telling....
"... and see the terrified communist that dwells within."
Or worse: I've seen the controlling authoritarian within.
Thus you now appreciate how mass hysteria created some awful human abuses of the past. Have heart, many are seeing the lies exposed as Omicron arrives and policy failures become obvious. Collectives cannot replace individual autonomy without force. We can hope that mild force doesn't turn serious before awareness arrives.
I trust the science. The science says that “all cause mortality” is higher in the jabbed than the unjabbed. That’s all I need to know. Take vitamins, eat well, exercise, and don’t be afraid. (Normalizing children having heart attacks and strokes is just too much, no?)
Exactly. Myocarditis? Meh….just a minor side effect of the shot. Insanity!

This should be child abuse!
Not should be...it IS
It never ceases to amaze me how people can be so disconnected from reality.
They’ve been programmed for decades. The last two years are the roll out of the brainwashed. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/01/02/how-to-overcome-fear-addiction.aspx
It is the conditioning of mostly the 20-40 year old liberal parents which causes them to:
Become masked sheeple.
Keep their kids away from the grandparents out of misplaced fear.
Line their kids up for shots and the grandparents for boosters so that if will be safe for the kids to see granny again.
Even worse than that are the grandparents who should know better demanding that the little kids be jabbed to protect granny. This goes against everything I ever experienced regarding grandparents who are usually totally selfless with their own grandchildren and other young kids. I called my late wife "The Fairy Grandmother" because she adopted and was generous to so many kids that came into her orbit.
That was made worse when the War on Intractable Pain dominated, it was their idiot college kids ODing on Fen laced Meth, Heroin, etc. I hid my 7.8 NORCO. Now few gets relief from pain, unless you have cancer, Grandma couldn't be trusted to keep it locked up, teens were stealing grandmas pain pills. Got news for the SHEEPLE YOU RAISED YOUR KIDS WRONG. By HS they were already doing MMJ. COLLEGE GAVE them access to the strong stuff laced with China-Fen. WE NOW HAVE A WIDE OPEN BORDERS. It even comes in Via USPS. EVERY CONTAINER SHIP. IMAGE

Can’t even trust the CPS either

Indeed! And eating well means a diet that will prevent or reverse the markers of metabolic syndrome. Big agribusiness, big pharma, and many doctors don't get that.
Oh they get it- it just doesn’t make them $$$$- or control of the masses
Most doctors don't, but this one does:

Yes, he’s one of the best.
Unless you grow your own food, you don't no where it comes from. I grew up in the 50-60's certain food was seasonal back then, not pumped full of chemicals to make them bigger, or a cow produce more milk, got news for them I stopped drinking milk when it was pure Holstein it was hard to digest had big globules, vs the Jersey/Guernsey milk that was sweeter, small globules. That was when kids started getting Autism, Colic, stomach problems, now you have infants on Nexium. Mom's stopped Breast feeding. Went to work to afford that bigger house, new car take vacations to Disney rather than their grandparents.
I agree with you. My Fl cardiologist and my GP both focus on vitamins, eating healthy, sleep, exercise, etc. neither one mentioned the jab at all. So neither did I.
I trust almost no one. Alex Berenson has been informative. It frankly, I come for the sub stack comments where everyone seems to have just a twist of cynicism.
More people should have been raised to question everything, do some research and above all…don’t panic because the worst possible decisions are made while in a panicked state. 😳
I agree completely with your view as that is how I was raised starting 70+ years ago.
This is worth viewing and careful, personal consideration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INHpQL9fgto
This is worth viewing and our careful, personal consideration.
gotta love Dr Malone! I hope he is correct about lost people waking up when they see 'totalitarianism' but sadly i think that is exactly what they want, to be told what to do and feeling that it is the right thing to do...and then right over the cliff...
Agree. Several 3x Jabbers have told me they feel safer with government leaders taking control and making the decisions. They are willing to cede freedom for safety.
very sad, I hope they don't have kids!
Yep, these sheep are so afraid, they don't want just themselves to suffer, they want those who didn't panic to suffer twice as much.
But really when you are told that the riots you are seeing are mostly peaceful, when a 20 year old punches a 60 year old in the face for carrying an American flag and everyone shrugs their collective shoulders, when a Chinese refugee from communism points out that CRT is Maoist Red Guard aka ANTIFA and the media censors her, when we learn school boards are introducing porn to 1st and 2nd graders and the MSM supports it, when women’s sports are upended and universities encourage it, when evil becomes good and good evil…when you put skirts on men soldiers… and you can’t or won’t quantify it, we have lost our way…something terrible is up.
Hitler said that terror will always succeed unless countered by equal or greater terror. I think you may be right. We should not argue facts to counter group-think. Instead, we should argue emotionally that totalitarianism is a far greater threat than Sars-Cov-2.
we need to argue that 'caring for others', compassion, empathy, etc. is how people are supposed to live. Terror has been around for a long time but how much do the people in those societies succeed with that reigning over their heads?
Well said. At the risk of pissing off some atheists, I trust in only one. No matter what happens next, the world has always been full of terror, death and terrible history. This is just another chapter in a long book. I will fight fiercely if need be but hope for the better part of humanity as you stated above. Fighting and greed has been the impetus for all the wrong being imposed on the world now.
amen! we always want peace before making decisions. GOD WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT! NEVER make a decision without peace. SAtan will always rush you and shame you...beware of those cues from others around you..(go Brandon)!
I know its a sad state of affairs. So many sheep, as far as the eye can see.
You nailed it. Eisenhower once said, ‘beware the military/industrial complex.’ Now we need to beware of the pharmaceutical/political complex.
*** Eisenhower went way beyond the MIC in his Farewell Address, and Eisenhower nailed it back then:
“In the same fashion the free university – historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery – has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
“Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
Interesting how we only hear about one little section of that amazing speech.
The headline is overstated, but see: https://redstate.com/setonmotley/2021/05/25/eisenhower-also-predicted-fake-science-virus-lockdowns-big-tech-and-leftist-colleges-n385599
Brilliant… so insanely insightful. And right!
And just as with Orwell, the warnings have gone completely unheeded.
Please tell me there are clones of Eisenhower somewhere!!
Same thing, right?
At this point, yes.
he actually did warn of a scientific technological elite controlling policy in the same farewell address.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fATwTWXwfOY
Eisenhower did warn us not only for the military/industrial complex. Eisenhower included the scientific complex in the warning. or in his words:
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
"Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society."
Ike was a wise man
MilitaryPharmaceuticalEducationalHousingBankingEnergyPoliticizedIndustrialComplex.
Oh, I forgot HospitalComplex, Too !
I would revise that as the pharmaceutical/medical/agricultural/political complex, as they're all working in tandem to destroy our health and wellbeing.
Military-pharmaceutical complex.
Look up the Rhine meadow massacre,where Eisenhower ordered the murder of thousands of German troops in cold blood at the end of the war,don't big up a mass murderer.
Wow, that was good! You covered a lot of the basis. Unfortunately, when we get into the powerful people running the show we must realize how long this was in the making. I fear that when people wake up from this they’ll be swayed into another debacle to maintain the ultimate goal - depopulation and transhumism thus creating another feudal system.
I believe this time is the closest this Country has come to Socialism and Marxism. SOME people know something is terribly wrong right now similar to the 1917/18 Russian people RIGHT before the Bolshevik takeover.
That’s because they can use that philosophy to push the agenda. My intuition tells me it’s not socialism or Marxism the elites (Great Reset) is after. It’s depopulation (not enough resources has been documented for decades) and a feudal like system. Everyone left alive works for a few big corporations owned by guess who and rents from the same. All the money that’s been pushed into modern medicine to transhumanize will make the peasants comply.
ICAN/Highwire (Del Bigtree) has a great interview about Communism and the Great Reset:
https://thehighwire.com/videos/episode-248-the-warning-we-ignored/
That is an excellent video
thats why we're still bascially in the same place..there are far far too many americans who believe this crap with all their being.
Belonging to the tribe is more important than truth.
I know walking on your own in one direction is better than walking with the crowd in the wrong direction.
Amen to that. I'd rather lose all my friends than succumb to this BS.
I've just been praying lately, Lord, why am I feeling so lonely lately? I'm counting on you for friendship and directing me to ppl who are seeking you that I can trust. I know we are to be encouragers to others, but it gets downright hard watching ppl self destruct around me and they have NOTHING to give.
There are many who you can trust. If not your own circle, then look to groups like this. The main thing is to not give up.
Ha, I already lost all my "friends". I only need one friend and I have to look up to see him right now.
I've often taken the proverbial road less travelled and I'm grateful for it
Same here.
Gosh, I totally forgot that, thanks for the reminder tribe trumps all else. Bad LIB, bad girl. Go to the corner. 😪
mob mentality, group think! heard a pastor say "you will never find Jesus in Mob Mentality" it is true, you have to know your own heart and hear God in the Word on your own , you'll not find your God in others or your parents salvation. Dont mean that to sound overly religious. Jesus came to re-introduce US TO OURSELVES! That self(our heart) that we got cut off from intimacy with ourselves, either thru abuses...sexual, emotional, verbal, physical abuse. Even inuendo and teachers who were cut off from their hearts ergo they helped cut us off from our hearts by hurtful or outright shaming comments.
Yes, easier to believe that than doing your own investigation. What are your priorities I would ask the mind numb robots, obviously not your health/nutrition/your children. And if you challenge them, you get dropped as a friend + you are "so negative" and how dare you burst my bubble I have been told.
The X-Files had it right: Trust No One.
Not sure that I trust myself anymore.
I trust you Viking.
But you can't live that way. There are people you can trust, and when you find them, nurture that relationship. I am not making light of what you are saying: I have terminated many -- hell, most -- relationships over the last two years. But I've gained a couple I treasure.
right here dude
thank you. my heart needs to hear truth.
The less you believe in God, the more you'll try to fill that void with something.
For many, it's government & every one on your list.
I think covid has become a religion to people who formerly had none. Or more like a cult. There is going to be a lot of human wreckage because of it.
Branch covidians. Fauci is their pope. People like offit and hotez and wen are their priest class. Malone and McCullough are the heretics. Vax as their sacrament.
It seems they let covid insanity replace politics in their god shaped hole.
You forgot the rituals of hand washing and hand sanitizer, and the proper mask.
They’re far more ritualized
Priests and nurses in garb
Sacrificial victims isolated in wards, cut off from loved ones, sacrificed on the altars according to administrative protocols
And don't forget the ritual dancing.... during a pandemic "overworked" but they had time for TikTok videos
It's all ritualized... and satanic
The parallels are astonishing.
And I'm guessing the witch-burning is just around the corner😱
Oshinksie's great article: https://markoshinskie8de.substack.com/p/the-vaxx-is-a-state-sponsored-religion
Global agenda has been widely-publicized (hidden in plain sight) for years on the UN web site. Almost nobody bothered to look.
Great Reset here we come.
Damn the Authoritarian torpedoes... Full Speed Ahead!
Speaking of "the children". Isn't it also ironic that the media began its campaign on the normalcy of youth heart attacks around the same time child jabs rolled out? "Oh, Denise, you didn't know children had heart attacks at such an early age? You've really got to get off that right wing media stuff and look at the science".
yep, we need defribulators in ALL SCHOOLS! What the HELL?? And I'm beginning to hear adverts "younger ppl are having heart problems". BS
Don’t forget to give a massive amount of credit to the Communist Party of China. If we’re not already servants of them, we’re at least breathtakingly close.
I think we were sold out a long time ago but by globalist so not necessarily China calling the shots.
The Atlantic is quickly becoming the Pissific.
Step back even further, to the past 6+ years, in this world of down is up, bad is good, injustice is justice, wrong is right, crazy, in lock-step narrative...perhaps we should have seen this coming. It's all "hidden" in plain sight.
The brain washed Karens in the super market.
rush at them if they give you "the stink eye...you haven't got a mask on" and laugh if they fall into the campbells soup! A whole new Andy Warhol
Malone on Rogan pretty much nailed it. Mass formation psychosis deliberately unleashed on all of us. God will see us through to the war crimes trials.
War crimes trials? Appropriately, should be held in Nuremburg.
I’m reading “Ordinary Men” by Christopher Browning - how regular police and retired army came to do the day-to-day shooting and deporting of the Germany’s Final Solution.
We are on a malevolence gradient. They were ordered by superiors and paid.
What is worse now is that the
ObersturmKärenführers are free-lance: neither organized and directed nor paid.
I just saw that they unleashed attack dogs on demonstrators in the Netherlands today. God help us all.
I believe Ghandi should be the example to follow. Millions of silent Americans simply sitting down together and not moving. Passively saying no more. They WANT violence from this side to give excuses for them to “protect” themselves.
Yet the recent polls and VA election have produced a shift in the WH. The overlords are worried. For a year the masks of progressivism had been dropped. They took down a sitting President after all with massive lies a la Harry Reid. And so many believed…Don’t you know, they have moved on from a constitutional republic? Time to clamp down on those stupid quaint folk in love with their guns and religion. Did you not know that the O was one of them?
The biggest difference is that they were shooting the disarmed and pathologically peaceful Jews. This time, they’re targeting the most armed and trained subgroup of society.
Who has more powerful weapons - the federal government or individual American citizens who own a gun? We can't win this war with weapons of war. Honestly, I don't think we can win it, period.
There were some Jews who, with the help of some of the Polish resistance, managed to acquire weapons and staged an armed resistance against the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto. It was an amazing feat of heroism and bravery. Of course they were doomed to failure, but this does give the lie to the idea that all Jews are pathologically pacifist.
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-warsaw-ghetto-uprising
Defeatist attitude. The reds aren’t an occupying force, they live here. F15 pilots have to return home, generals drive cars. Stop thinking like an infantry force and start thinking like an insurgency.
The Austrians kicked out the Soviets in the 1950s
Public Rosary Parades
It can be done
The Swiss kept the Nazis at bay with just the threat of a quarter million marksmen.
I agree. This can also be done via FaceTime. Do it with friends once a week. We are from several states and counties within states. Recently added Divine Mercy Chaplet to the Rosary and St Michael prayer. Forming small groups to help one another with info and eventually supplies.
Truthbird, in the end we did put an end to the Holocaust albeit not without tremendous sacrifice. We must become Joan of Arc. We must expect to be Christ’s sacrifice itself for truth.
"Who has more and more powerful weapons - the federal government or individual American citizens who own a gun? We can't win this war with weapons of war."
The Taliban has entered the chat.
I have zero sympathy for the Taliban. I despise them. (I'm assuming your comment was directed at me.)
You should listen to the Jocko podcast where he covers that book. Christ. I couldn't even listen to the entire episode it was too much.
Thanks. Agreed. I have to put it down after a bit.
Could also be held at Fort Leavenworth. They have good sturdy gallows there.
Death by legal injection? Lots of warehoused 'vax' nearing the end of its shelf life
Yes he also mentioned the hit piece on him in the Atlantic in detail during the Rogan show, and then added more detail about the Atlantic in this interview - well worth listening to the whole thing:

Is this the Rogan-Malone interview? Everyone talking about it. Or did it follow that one? Thanks (Never seen Rogan show.)
I’d never heard of Rogan before 2020. Alex’s interview first one I watched. I didn’t think anything could top McCulloughs. I was wrong. Didn’t expect to be so impressed with Malone. It’s a must listen. The systematic destruction of dissenters with decades of impeccable careers, is one of the most frightening things. Malone points to some real heavy weight backers coordinating this. I can’t believe he called out Blackrock, vanguard, essentially central banks. Man…. He’s one brave dude
That whole interview is a RED PILL! It's long but I've re-listened a few times now it's so good.
I watched it. I’ve heard Dr. Malone in other interviews from Brett Weinstein to Global Covid Summit, so I knew how keen he was. Was good to hear his perspective on mass psychosis. Additionally, his experience in regulatory law brought in a different dimension to the conversation.
No that's from infowars but here's the Joe Rogan-Malone interview (you'll need a free account to listen):

Saved! Appreciate more than one source! 👍
Thank you to Peter and Paul (only missing Mary here, LOL, for those who are old codgers like me) for the alternative links. I have a technical issue with Spotify, so I am grateful for alternatives.
Just watched, and I think this was Malone at his very best. I think I saw a side of him that I haven't seen in other interviews. I think I saw a little bit of what he might be like when he's dealing with friends, neighbors, and family far away from the necessarily cultivated professionalism of the podcast circuit.
Damn good stuff!
Yes, it's so valuable to have alternate link sources and YES, that interview is pure GOLD! So refreshing..like he was visibly exhaling a huge sigh of relief with each truth he didn't have to self-censor. 👍
I agree. It's like after awhile he relaxed and became more "conversational". There might truly be method in Joe Rogan's madness of the insanely long form interview. It brings the person out one way or the other.
Looks like this came straight after the Rogan interview. You can find that one easily by a simple search on Spotify. I suggest you listen to Rogan first, and then this. (Need over 4 hours clear time but definitely worth it!)
