We fulfilled our family dream of traveling around the world with bikes and backpacks, mom and dad and 4 teenagers in 2005-2006.

We visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Dachau concentration camp in Germany, and Tuol Sleng Prison in Cambodia.

In every place, we found that ordinary people had been victims, perpetrators and heroes, often the perpetrators were themselves consumed by the killing machine.

I taught our kids that this happens recurrently in history, and one will need to see it immediately when it starts.

"How?"

When I saw the depersonalization of "the unvaccinated" begin in the early summer of 2021, I recognized it for what it was.

I had been treating patients with repurposed antivirals at our public health clinic, and had been 2-3 months ahead of CDC pronouncements, which kept being counterfactual. I had considered it to be "political", but when I saw the creation of "untermenschen", I recognized it as more evil than that.

I declared to the clinic that "I would stand naked with the Jews", to which some took offense, but I saw that it was exactly that, and explained to anybody who would listen, as I had in my emailed written statement to the clinic staff.

I was summarily fired, but it happened in the vegetable garden I grew for my clinic coworkers, which was nobody's plan. I was planting the fall/winter vegetables on my day off.

Everybody saw, and I insisted on staying until I was finished planting, and on clearing off my own desk, even though my access-key had been inactivated as I gardened.

I did not escape what was happening, but saw it early and stood openly in resistance.

It has not come to pass as designed.

I remain unemployed. I remain human. I will resist.

This is a really really excellent post. I could easily agree with almost all of it- the only thing I believe I disagree with is "Most doctors are remarkable human beings; they care about others". Even before COVID I had unfortunately seen too many terrible red flags to tell me that this statement just couldn't be true (sadly, of course- I really do wish that statement were true). But during COVID, the behavior of a large percentage of doctors was far worse than I would have ever imagined even based on the many terrible red flags I had seen prior to COVID. So again, very regrettably, I simply cannot believe that most doctors are remarkable human beings who care about others, I sincerely wish I could. But overall, this post is really powerful and excellent all around.

Many hospitals did murder COVID patients with their COVID treatment protocols. Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin would have helped a lot of them, especially if taken early. HCL saved my wife's cousins life in March 2020. But after Trump mentioned HCL as a treatment, the word came down, and many hospitals would not allow doctors to use those treatments for COVID. Nor would many pharmacies distribute it. The "conspiracy theory" being that people like Dr. Fauci needed the fear driven propaganda effect of media reported mass deaths to induce people to want to get the new experimental "vaccines". For which they had to re-write the definition of vaccine because they are actually gene therapies. But whatever. There are too many lies to list here.

An elk hunter friend of mine (I didn't know him very well, but he seemed pretty healthy and spry) died in a hospital in Spokane on November 20, 2021 at 61 years of age with these causes listed on the death certificate:

A: Acute respiratory failure with hypoxemia (Me: ventilator - well known by this point to be a deadly treatment)

B: Acute respirator distress syndrome (Me: again from the ventilator)

C: COVID-19 Pneumonia

Other Conditions Contributing to Death: Septic shock, left lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, acute kidney failure.

Me: kidney failure is a well known side effect of Remdesivir

Not being medical, I can't say for sure, but I would be willing to bet several of the "other conditions" are also downstream effects of the "treatment protocols".

Mass genocide.

I suppose I've known hundreds of doctors in the course of my career, and been intimately acquainted with many of them. Some have been students, residents, clinical colleagues, administrative associates, medical directors and CEOs. Sadly, I can not count a single one as a close friend today. It is the rare physician today who puts his oath and ethics before his enthusiasm for financial gain and social status. The profession's lockstep conformity with the despicable policies of the past three years has demonstrated to me that the reasons are characterological and not simply educational. The only caveat to the last statement is that medical education in the US today actively solicits and recruits applicants who proffer the requisite degree of obedience to institutional authority while weeding out otherwise talented individuals displaying evidence of conscience or compunction.

Obama was one of the most rhetorically and actively divisive leaders we’ve ever had in this country. Just as much of a gaslighting troll as Trump, if not moreso. There are too many examples to count. It’s just that the media didn’t focus on that aspect of his communication, and people that liked him refused to see it anyway. We conservatives were mocked and gaslighted for pointing it out.

I have regularly claimed that if one ever wondered how one would behave in (and/or survive) Nazi Germany... just look in the mirror at how one acted during the past 3 years.

I admire your grace, in not criticizing your peers.

I agree with your article. I disagree with one portion about the change that started at the end of Obama's presidency. A change started during his presidency. The division within our country started then. The weakening of our military from within started then. I was still serving at that time. All the movements started at that time that are strong now that are dividing our country with this group against that group. The same people in Obama's administration are in Biden's and continuing his work toward Socialism in this country supporting all the values that Obama started.

The one biggest thing I have heard no one say that really bothers me is segregation that is returning to this country. MLK was mentioned. He fought hard with others for desegregation. I lived through it in my life. Now they are erasing history in schools and teaching CRT. Now segregation is being asked for after people gave their lives to end it. How did this happen and who is doing it? The same people who originally created segregation in this country. It failed originally, so they changed the tactics. Change our history and tell it a different way. It is clever in a way, but someone needs to shine a light on this. They can't get segregation through white people anymore because the majority don't want it. They are going after the non white people now and instilling the desire in them to be segregated from whites. The evil democrats pushing this Critical Race Theory are taking this country decades back and succeeding in some places. It all ties in to the divide and conquer agenda.

My son is an experienced ER nurse. My son describes the difference between new dr. Vs older. He has had younger docs (not to mention the mid-level providers) that are good following the algorithms. Knowing what to order when its obvious in the protocol but relying on the experienced nurse when choices are needed. This is not necessarily unusual, as nurses have always had a role in educating the newer physicians. But most non health care folks don’t truly see the level of teamwork involved in good patient care. I guess my point is that as experienced nurses and physicians leave the profession, the shitshow will only get worse. Everyone left will be the product of the flawed protocol driven education system.

What a great post. Thank you for that.

I was in Boston at RFK's announcement event and it was really surprisingly inspiring. People of all ages, and even lots of children, many of whom had travelled some distance to get there. I had gone in thinking, he'll never win, but maybe he'll at least bring some of these issues to a wider audience. I left with a small glimmer of hope, that maybe he actually could win. His message will make sense to a wide array of people, if they only get a chance to hear it!

Excellent article and the propaganda video was well worth watching. It made me look at our current administration and see so many parallels, especially when Biden gave that talk with the red curtains in the background and using two Marines to stand on each side behind him. He yelled and screamed nonsensical, as usual, but with much anger. It was disturbing then and still is when we see clips of Hitler. Biden yells a MAGA supporters constantly, as if we are subhuman. Obama/Biden has caused great harm to this country and the similarities are stark to what we’ve seen before when a country is ruled by divisive ideology.

The mantra used to be "Never Forget!" Holocaust remembrance is founded on the notion that when these atrocities occur, it is key to see the signs in time to prevent it. This is how it was taught in the synagogue, that it was our duty to remember the Holocaust, and to defend any group that was treated this way, because that would have saved so many lives.

Comparing the recent political climate to the early days of the Third Reich, there are too many points of commonality to ignore. Many back then wished they'd heeded the warning signs while they were able. We are grateful that we had this context to comprehend what was happening to the world. It spared us the needle, and may have saved our lives.

To attack those who point out the parallels is actually a form of Holocaust denial. It was all done on a public health pretext, and the excuse of crowded hospitals was used then as now to justify mass medical homicide. It's all very stark and resonant. It's a frighteningly congruent situation. That's the direction this was all headed, and if unchecked, we can't know where it would lead. When the state imposes segregation, limits on free movement, suspends civil rights, and practices mass murder by policy fiat, at what point do we say, "Enough! We remember this!"

So, we will never forget this episode of global tyranny, for the sake of not being caught unaware when the next iteration rolls out.

Was unaware of the Nazi regime using phony disease as part of their scheme, or had forgotten. The horrors of that are so awful, that it take guts merely to talk about it. I keep wondering if all of those who pushed and mandated the Covid vaccines knew the magnitude of people they were injuring and killing, but rationalized it as a necessary collateral damage? Did this group know the contents of the Pfizer data that showed the vaccines didn't work, that the 3rd bad side effect was catching Covid? That hundreds died, babies died? Let's assume the group was unaware of the Pfizer data, maybe, but Pfizer executives knew, those individuals are just as criminal as any mass murderers.

Wry clear historically accurate information. Thank you for the info as we are blessed to have it. Knowledge can be power - it depends on how it is used. Use it for God’s glory.

Bless you mid-western doctor. Staying away from "FAKE MEDICINES" is one of the best decisions I ever made. It's easy for me to understand that you can't cure a toxic body by continuously flooding it with more toxins. I'll take my chances any day with nature's medicines AKA nutrition and antioxidants. I'm not saying there's no use for antibiotics or a handful of some prescription meds. However, in this day and time. I would prefer to work with healthcare practitioners who operate outside of the medical industrial complex if I needed any type of health treatments. I'm a firm believer in healing and minimizing suffering. And these are not the results I expect or hear of from most of the allopathic medical protocols. And that is a valid reason to stay away from that type of medical care.

I tried to explain this concept ("this is our yellow star" meaning the unvaxxed with no rights without a vax) to my epidemiologist double-masked quadruple-vaxxed Jewish sister-in-law who worked at NIH at one point - very intelligent, yes, but no comprehension of this masquerade (and a bit offended at me offering the analogy). They always say "never again" - well here it is.
