This might be your most important post yet. Exactly. Nothing is going to change without MANY brave and principled whistleblowers coming forward. The second part of this equation is a little more disturbing: Even if whistleblowers DO come forward, how do we know the mainstream press will print their stories?
If you remember the prescient final scene of "Three Days of the Condor," you'll probably reach the same conclusion I have: They won't print these stories.
Here's an article I wrote on "17 movies for our Covid/New Normal Times." You don't have to read all my selections - just the first one - "Three Days of the Condor." The article includes a quick summary and a link to that film's final chilling scene.
Thanks. I wrote that piece 7 months ago before I had many Substack readers ... so it didn't get much of a response. However, I really like it ... so I keep "re-booting" the column in Reader Comments like this! Thanks for reading it. I'm sure others could add great selections I missed.
I have seen all of those except Alien & Three Days of the Condor. Along the lines of the latter, during the pandemic hubby and I watched The Parallax View which is downbeat another political thriller that may fit your list.
It now occurs to me that the first "Alien' movie and the sequel also have themes that fit our Covid times. In the movies, we learn that the government wants to bring back those aliens so they can study them, learn from them and .... use them as a weapon!
The director of the first Alien movie, Ridley Scott, also directed the great movie "Black Hawk Down," which also shows the consequences of FUBAR government policies.
Alex: Your most important post was yesterday: "What is the point in developing new drugs?" We already KNOW Pharma and all its agents in government and the news media are infinitely corrupt. They maintain their power with the threat: "If you don't let us do what we want, we'll stop producing new drugs." OK. Stop. Now. Today.
A noticeable percentage of new drugs released are so injurious they have to be pulled off the market - after we've been their unpaid guinea pigs. Another huge percentage of "new" drugs are simply variations of old ones re-formulated for patent purposes. Let the patent clock run out on the drugs we've already got and let them all go generic.
Then there is the trillions of dollars they've spent over the years searching for "cures" that could have been spent on genuine health research, genuine public health education, and genuine environmental controls. Instead we have CoVid injections, THC gummies, and climate change hysteria that neatly avoids mention of well-know industrial toxins that are creating real harm now.
As just one example of many, the "search for the cure for AIDS" which to date has cost over half a trillion dollars (look it up) has produced nothing but fraud and put Fauci in the driver's seat to run the CoVid scam. See the book "Fauci's First Fraud"
No more newly patented drugs? Fine. Drain the swamp and redirect a fraction of the savings to genuine health measures. The world will be a better place and people will be healthier.
Excellent comment. See also YouTube videos by Vinay Prasad, MD. He is very skeptical about the usefulness of new drugs, not to mention his loathing for the FDA.
I would also welcome some Jeffrey Epstein whistleblowers... these prison guards who were “not paying attention”, disconnecting security cameras, household staff on the Island who saw guests....come on out!!!
I think both prison guards are dead now. What a surprise.
Great Expose on worlds2ndsmartestguy substack. Pics of the obvious Feds wheeling the masked male out of cell. The real one already wheeled out likely in the obvious laundry hamper previously.
Epstein Island has just relocated. It should be found and the children helped and the adults find Capital punishment.
Absolutely, he had so much "insurance" on everybody he can " extort " his way out in a heart beat.
Look at the evidence in the article at worlds2ndsmartestguy substack.
Plus he had his bestie still on the outside helping/making it happen. He even pulled in Commie's ( Comey's )daughter to fake prosecute Maxwell the disgusting sex trafficker.
Now this is disturbing. Even more so than the whole “suicide” fairy tale that had more holes than a spaghetti strainer. It’s not shocking as everyone knows how sick these high society creeps really are. If it’s true then honest people should go all ninja/ black- ops and take them down, put them on public trial with no concealed anything, even Ms Maxwell too. No outs for the wealthy.
The Epstein thing is like a “too big to fail” conspiracy, sort of like Bill wrote about the pandemic— so many stakeholders in on the lie. But at least Whitney Webb reporting has provided great background on the players.
Whistle Blowers are truly heroes, yes even those that pin on the badge and bypass the blue line as well as those in our frontline heroes that will not stand up for malfeasance and mismanagement of the Constitutional rights endowed upon them. They are subject to slings and arrows of their fellow citizens as snitches, which is so far from the truth of the situation, that reasonable citizens should be brave as they are and join the fight to root out all of the callow meanness that so much of our structure seems to hold on to as sad as it is. We should as true citizens demand that they are awarded a "Medal of Freedom" and the thanks of a grateful nation.
Just a random idea, but today I saw a fire truck and two police cars at the last operating remote COVID injection station in my city. What were they doing there? Were they responding to a "sudden collapse"? How often were emergency services called to this location in the past 2 years? Might this information be a evidence in support or against the safety of the COVID vaccines? Would 911 services keep statistics on such calls? Might such statistics be available to the public? Inquiring minds want to know.
It was first the coming Ice Age in the 70s. Then Global Warming in the 90s. Now Climate Change!
They finally got it right because the climate always changes! Every year we have winter and then summer...Walla..climate change. Climate changers are the existential threat to humankind!
I have read there were several deaths among infants in the RSV vaccine study group but all were attributed to pre-existing conditions, although the study protocol specified only healthy infants would be studied.
I worked at Wyeth during the fen-phen (or is it phen-fen) frenzy was happening but left just before the Women's Health Initiative iceberg took it down. I'm retired so have no current stories.
Not why I'm writing !
At the end of your article you appealed to the gods of warming. I have an excellent prophet on Twitter you might examine: John Shewchuk@_ClimateCraze.
Just like the those that came forward after the 2020 election on questionable if not illegal vote counting, oh wait bad example.
Ok the FBI whistleblowers that brought forth evidence of improper surveillance of citizens that don’t go along with the left’s narrative. crap, another bad example. Ok ok I got this one, IRS agents that came forward to show how Hunter Biden had many tax violations and money coming from all over the place going to many different accounts, shell businesses and who knows where else. Justice was served he got charged and agreed to plead guilty to the felonies that he deser….. never mind.

Great list Bill!
I’ll be thinking. I wish I knew some examples of newer movies. 😕

You need to watch both of those films too. I'd give "Three Days" "three stars" (a pretty good movie), but it's ending makes it a "must-watch" IMO.

Come down to Texas. We’ll scratch that 90 degree itch and spot you 16 degrees.
haha. Was literally going to say the same thing.
GMTA. 🤠
104 in San Antonio yesterday!
Wow. Glad it’s not that bad here but we usually have pretty high humidity so 90 feels like 100.
It’s not been too bad yet. This year very dry. Farmers are hurting so I’m rain dancing.
Global warming is real but it’s like 1.5 degrees.
Y’all are always fun! Alex and commenters alike.
Calgon take me away!
Stole my line, Hombre!!
Haha!!

Thanks AG. Vinay has come a long way in recent years and it's great to have someone with his background pointing out these same things.
Wow. Very powerful statement and I couldn’t agree more.
Here here! Raising my glass to this one.

Sorry, 2ndsmartestguyintheworld substack
So, do you think he’s still alive? Can you imagine?
Absolutely, he had so much "insurance" on everybody he can " extort " his way out in a heart beat.
Look at the evidence in the article at worlds2ndsmartestguy substack.
Plus he had his bestie still on the outside helping/making it happen. He even pulled in Commie's ( Comey's )daughter to fake prosecute Maxwell the disgusting sex trafficker.

Bunch of evil elitists…..reminds me of the short story “The Most Dangerous Game”.. I think that’s the title

"Still waiting for that first 90-degree day in New York this summer. Heck, I’d settle for 85. (Come on, global warming!)" We've entered the Grand Solar Minimum, which should last 'til 2053 -- so don't hold your breath:https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/04/the_coming_modern_grand_solar_minimum.html

If you see something, say something! Only fitting to turn the authoritarians' motto against them.
I just wrote a comment of Truthful News sites and it disappeared. Hmmm....
Hopefully it was my mistake somehow.
Hmmm....
We're supposed to hit 101 today. I hope you get tons of emails. It's awful, this global gag order.
YES!
We need more whistleblowers!
Just like the those that came forward after the 2020 election on questionable if not illegal vote counting, oh wait bad example.

"I’ll even sign someone else’s book if you like, though let’s be honest, that would be weird. "
Not it it's written by Fauci.
