Each post of yours I read, I am convinced your conclusions and axioms are exactly the same as mine. Multiple times throughout, I am fascinated to finally have discovered someone who's life view/outlook is so close to mine that I can't imagine it being less similar. And then a few paragraphs later, you say something new that is also identical. Long ago, I learned I'd struggle with which of my beliefs I could share with whom and in how much detail. Most people cannot tolerate nuance or complexity, but I thrive on it. Reading your posts has been one strange, exciting, and eerily mystical trip....
Of all the things you've shared, two of the axioms have helped me the most in life:
1) Trust but verify. (- Ronald Reagan) But life is short, can't verify everything. So I try to expend only as much energy in the verification as the difference the outcome will make in my life. (You said it much better.)
2) This: "I believe one of the fundamental things that has allowed my own knowledge to develop as far as it has was my decision to derive enjoyment from discovering an axiom I carried was wrong and instead become excited by learning there was a much broader or complex truth I was never before aware of. "
I just want to know the truth, learn more, and achieve the best outcomes for me and mine. Other than you, I am the only person I know that "derives enjoyment from discovering an axiom I carried was wrong..."
I will also speculate that that "world view" resulted from the drive to learn the truth. They're linked, at least for me. The excitement from correcting a mistaken conclusion literally means to me I've learned more truth, which seems to be the fundamental pillar of my psychological existence.
Of course, that all links to the awareness of the nuance and that the black/white paradigm is insufficient. If one truly seeks truth in things without concern for violating one's axioms along the way, decades of that honest pursuit really can't lead to any other conclusion. If it does, the pursuit isn't honest and you're no longer purely looking for truth.

Hi James!
You aren't the only one seeking "truth", not by a "long shot", because that is the antidote to the insanity in the world today perpetrated by the likes of the operatives of the WEF and their NWO conspirators . . . slimeballs like Schwab and Gates, plus the other psychos like Soros, Tedros, and on and on!
I am suspecting, and hoping, that the true psychopaths are sufficiently disconnected from reality that eventually they are going to self-destruct. Without knowing reality (or "truth"), in their mass delusions they are less capable of performing actions that actually result in the outcomes they desire. I think there must be some Natural fail-safe feedback loop to blunt the manifestation ability of evil people or this world would really be "screwed", even worse than it is now.
So perhaps there is a small but significant group of truth-seekers who intuitively understand that on a "cosmic" level there are no secrets so deceit is counterproductive and downright stupid. We want to know the truth because we want to understand how things really work so that we can be more effective.
Plus, the core cause of people's control trips is fear. The Globalist types must be very frightened, insecure, disconnected from Source, pathetic, and "sorry excuses" for human beings! THESE are the creeps that expect us to submit to them??? They are a JOKE!
Zero doubts you're right. But I first heard it from Reagan in the '80's (ironically about the Soviet Union so maybe that's why he chose those words), and it was meaningful enough to me to remember and use for a lifetime to follow.
I care not who said it; only that I heard it and it meant something to me.
That said, thank you for the enlightenment. I will very likely carry that along from this day forward and probably tongue in cheek claim I learned it from Ronnie who (mis)appropriated it from his enemy.
"when a complex issue is framed as two opposing simplistic truths, it makes it possible for the mass media to continually keep Americans in a state of outrage"
OR simple issue: two definitions will do that every time....the changing what words mean thing....men can give birth, a vaccine is not a vaccine, recession is not a recession....what kills me is why the dictionary people go along....obviously assholes too....words are not sacrosanct w that crowd? when they live/breath words...assholes or idiots, pick one....this word thing is a #1 type thing that cannot be allowed to happen....needs to be unwound...solutions?

We absolutely appreciate the philosophical perspective you take to these articles, and it really cuts to the crux of the conundrum. It's a little trippy reading these musings on zen and the art of medical dissidence, which lines up with so much of what we've been thinking and writing on these topics, some of it word for word.
The ability to entertain notions which appear to be in tension is markedly missing from our cultural discourse. There's a focus on object over process, and an unwillingness to understand before objecting.
Robert Anton Wilson, with whom you may be familiar (?) called this idea Maybe Logic; we call it Treealism, or, for the academic set, post-rational constructivism. "Although I greatly value the truth and nothing but the truth, it is important to remember the value of any idea or philosophy should be measured by its utility in your life." That is one of our core axioms.
Understanding the events of the last several years has become a real-world test of these principles, and navigating the murky waters of the group-mind has produced several disturbing conclusions. Indeed, most people only seek to argue, not to agree or understand. We describe this as a motivational matrix running the second-circuit territorial imperative. In times of stress and under threat, this becomes the default mode. Truth becomes something to own and protect, rather than to seek.
"... most people only seek to argue, not to agree or understand."
This is so true, yet until you wrote it, it was an unconscious awareness I had. I yearn to find a good test to determine when I've found the few seeking agreement and understanding...
The funny part to me is, in my cocksure youth, I was only aware that I really enjoyed the argument (which I considered a "lively" debate). Very glad that perspective changed.
Similar for me, but also that I feel that I can do something more productive or enjoyable with my time. Besides, most people will not change their mind. They want you to validate what they believe.
Which I feel is fundamentally very narcissistic and has always bothered me because it shows a clear lack of respect for the free will and autonomy of the listener they are speaking to.
This is a wonderful investigative meditation on where we are. I think the meta issue is finding a method for discerning what is worth using up one's bandwidth for and what one can use a heuristic for. When I was a lot younger, I used to walk in an iffy neighborhood in East Oakland California and if a male walking towards me was over 10 or under 70, I would cross the street or change my behavior. Unfair to men, but that was my unconscious heuristic. I just assume everything in the MSM is manipulated BS, and that no data whatsoever is trustworthy, and I'm aware that that's a heuristic, but it is much more likely to be true than not. There's an idea in evolutionary psychology, which I agree with, save for its overarching materialist reductionist paradigm, that our species survived through the overfiring or promiscuity of certain behaviors, e.g. if we thought the motion in the bushes was a tiger when it wasn't, not much cost, but if we blew off the idea that it might be a tiger, we got eaten, thus the genetic lineage into the next generation selected for those who hyperactively or promiscuously assumed tigers. If one is threat sensitive and overfiring and promiscuous about those threats, one has little bandwith left. Then there's also the right brain gestalt which those plugged into the conflict entrepreneurialism of the media never get to. The right brain comprehends where as the left apprehends, according to Iain McGilchrist, and the MSM seems hellbent on making sure that doesn't happen often which creates people with undigested uncomprehended threats and worries saturating them. That's where I think the mass formation theory comes in -- derealized or depersonalized people walking around stunned, or people who've used the heuristic, but never stepped back to comprehend and let their right brain create a gestalt. I knew a year ago when I heard Steve Kirsch and Pierre Kory on Dark Horse because Bret Weinstein had risked his family's livelihood to stand up and speak the truth and Pierre Kory had left everything behind to go into the viral inferno of NY. Then I found Dr. Varon, who hadn't had a day off in 400 days, who speaks 10 languages. My right brain knew the pandemic could've been effectively ended with repurposed drugs because my right brain recognized something that seems patently obvious about these people. But the MSM will keep people in their aggressive mechanistic left brains so they are prone to delusion and derealization. Music will put people into their right brains. It is a very different experience to read the news with headphones on.
I'm just rambling, but I think it is a crucial part of the puzzle, to recognize that we need to think with our bodies and right brains and that is why that is being prevented. Never underestimate one's enemy! (my late English teacher mother would bop me over the head for my shifting subject pronouns in this post but I have no bandwidth lol)
Great comment. The one thing I would add (Gabor Maté MD has done the best job I know of in detailing this subject) is that any type of trauma, especially if it occurs in childhood hyper primes you for this defensive behavior.
Not just humans. One of my cats is an example of this. He was bullied so badly by his brother that we had to take him over. Although he is now a senior authority among the collection and expert in tranquilising disputes, the shadow of the earlier trauma remains. He cannot sit down to eat and is hypercautious of visitors and the doorbell.
When he arrived he'd been laying up only to look for food with our niece at 3 or 4 in the morning, he was severely dehydrated and ready to hide at no notice.
It took weeks to familiarise him towards a relaxed outlook. This bore fruit a couple of years later when a starving street kitten turned up and "uncle" took him over & made sure he felt at home.
The readiness to hide is still there, after some 6 - 7 years, which is a long time for a small animal.
He is, like I said, the peacemaker, and a lovely sensitive character.
Interestingly Gabor's son Aaron Mate (some tell me Gabor as well, I don't really follow him) appears to have buckled into a bit of mass formation on the injections.
Like much of the "left", and I use the quotes because I don't know what that means any more.
The vaccine concept fits so well into their collective good mindset that it never occurs to them perhaps to make sure the Pinto doesn't have an Exploding Gas Tank.
That said it's amazing how many people 100% fell for the vaccine narrative who were always anti authoritarianism and skeptical of so many other things about the system.
I don't know. There are forces at work that we cannot comprehend and one of my pet theories is that humans simply do not like not knowing.
My sense is that this an end game type of take over by people who realized that they owned the world and all the "nodes" of control, as Dr. Meryl Nass phrases it.
They clearly don't have a fallback plan in say, Aussie, or Kanada. They obliterated any pretense. That to me is very ominous.
I loved your post. You summarized so well the reality of the dissonance and noise that is being deliberately generated to make it hard for humanity to truly grasp what it going on in life on pretty much every level. The music on while reading the news (aka substack) is a tip I plan on implementing immediately! I’ve always found the power of music in life to be a necessity. It feeds the soul. Thank you!
It will probably be a long time before I get to discussing the effects of sound on here (it has been a big part of my life since I have hypersensitive hearing).
I’ve had 2nd hand experience of that. My daughter got diagnosed with a condition called misofonia about 8 years ago, although she’s suffered from it for longer than that. It’s challenging for her, as there’s not really a cure, just therapy strategies to lessen the impact on her life. Hope you’ve also found grace and the means to manage what afflicts you.

It's a good way of thinking. More people should really be aware that this is...
a) Possible to think in spectrums, not just one way or another. Nor left and right, but up and down, in and out and all around.
b) Situations like you find in the game rock, paper, scissors exist everywhere. So one best tool, idea or thing isn't always the best. It is situationally dependent.
c)Yin and yang is probably my favorite symbol in the whole world as it conveys a lot of important messages. Not just of "balance" which is the most obvious and very important, but within each half, a small portion of the opposite exists within the other. Eg you don't need to be perfect to be perfect and the little imperfections in something are often what make them perfect and valuable.
d) I also keep an eye on some of the sciences emerging from certain "conspiracy theories" as often these are simply new sciences emerging, or forks in the road of older sciences that may actually turn out to be right because "science" made a mistake years ago and is now finding it hard to go back. But some are totally bogus too. A lot are.
e) "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." not Aristotle.
Wow. What a great post. There are too many subject points worthy of comment, so I would like to ask a question instead. One of your points is that the blood clots that often form can be resistant to anti-coagulants. Given your openness to traditional/alternative treatments, what is your opinion on Serrapeptase?
According to WebMD - "Blood Clot Thinner: Serrapeptase may potentially help break down the plaque that builds up inside your arteries, something known as atherosclerosis. Recent studies have successfully used similar fibrinolytic enzymes produced by microorganisms in the treatment of blood clots, specifically in relation to dissolving fibrin, a common artery-blocking compound."
The mystery clots that Steve Kirsch has been reporting for months are very concerning to me. If there is any way to mitigate that risk, I am open to exploring it. Not asking for or expecting official medical advice, but I am interested in any comments you might have. Thanks!
A lot of integrative physicians have been finding that they need to use Serrapeptase or Lumbrokinase when treating vaccine injuries. It does not solve the issue but it does help.
Jeez lots of great thoughts here but there are some misconceptions. These include but are not limited to the following. I'm not going to give references except for my robertyoho.substack.com.
Disinformation, misinformation, and conspiracy theory as verbiage should be purged from your thoughts and writing because all are used as propaganda and to promote lies. (See how simple and clean that was?)
Saying that our response to Covid was wrong is an obvious point. Equally obvious now is that Covid itself was manufactured to damage the western world. The entire malign effort was planned, still in progress, and we must stay frosty if we are not to be destroyed.
Sociopathy is NOT poor childhood or adverse conditioning. It's inborn, innate, and 1-5 percent of the whole population. Religious people call them devils, and you must realize by now that they walk among us. Their motivations are obscure, not only because we don't think in terms like theirs--overwhelming narcissism, lack of interest or concern for needs of others, and often criminal intent--but because they may have irrational goals of torturing or damaging others that do not even advantage themselves.
-I do not like to police my language and my preference is to go with the term that most clearly articulates the point I am trying to make. The specific context I used those terms in is important.
-I am trying to focus on illustrating many of the foundational factors that created an environment where bad actors could do these sorts of actions rather than just complain about them (which other people are doing). My whole goal is to focus on discussing things other people are not speaking about because I have way more to write than I will ever have time to cover.
-My opinion on the sociopathy isssue is:
•Many cases (specifically the lack of normal human capacities that prevent sociopathic behaviors) arise from brain damage which is often due to vaccination (there is a lot of evidence for this) and in other cases from things like SSRIs.
•A small number of people (less than 1%) are born with actual demons inside them and this is an issue many cultures have struggled with throughout history. Henry Kissenger and Hillary Clinton are the two public figures I know this is the case for.
•A lot of bad things people do are a direct result of traumatic abuse they experienced that patterned them to conduct similar behavior, and this is frequently found by forensic psychiatrists. I do not believe this excuses their behavior and I support locking them away (because otherwise they will continue to repeat the behavior) but I also think it is important to be honest about what motivates a lot of that behavior.
I am hopeful that at some point you are able to elaborate on your opinion on sociopathy. That said, I would guess that if you ranked by importance the things you would like to/need to write about, it may never reach the top.
Curious about what the differences are on the MRIs? I have wondered if the jabs have effected intelligence since reading the brain has miles of capillaries and its known the spikes adhere to the endothelial walls scarring them and creating clots. Even destroying the walls of the endothelial capillaries too. Fascinating subject but really disturbing people/devils want to hurt mankind to this degree!!!
When you actually know some poor people, you realize that they live among predators, including relatives, who take their stuff and even threaten their safety. This explains why they often lack a long fth and don't save money and make decisions based on immediate benefits that cannot be stolen.
Yes! Great points. All the confusion about mismanagement disappear in light of the deliberate nature of the virus creation and the coordinated assault on treatments that actually work.
Another level of evil influence, not generally recognized, are entities—non-corporeal “bad actors” that attach themselves to people and urge them to carry out destructive actions.
Also, when one is worth billions, it becomes more difficult to relate to poorer humanity particularly without religious training as children, whereby MOST then would hold onto to those values throughout life (to some degree)!!! Its much bigger than that I realize, but these ppl think they are GODS and have rights over all of humanity. To think they are megalomaniac enough to want to kill off billions of people is psychoville, but I believe that is the goal. If one believes in the “end times” per Christianity, Satan has captured the world and this seems to make the most sense! Hopefully, God will halt this soon!!!
Agreed. If one believes Satan = hate, and Jesus = love, the bible makes more sense. Satan is simply the personification of hate, intolerance, bigotry, violence, etc. While Jesus is the personification of love, tolerance, team work, peace.
I should add that we should be reluctant to accept the corruption/malefaction hypothesis until the data forces us to accept it. The incompetence hypothesis should always be our first choice. Let the data govern our thesis choices.
By "data", I don't merely mean "scientific data". "Follow the money" must always be asked and evidence of conspiracy must always be looked at--such as Event 201. When you examine the influential people who participated in Event 201 at wikispooks and at the Event 201 website, more questions are raised.
I live in one of the Spanish Conquista countries which, after Independence, continued under the control of the Encomienda (Land Granted by the Spanish King) Families, diversifying a little with the advent of expatriates of which one specific (northern mediterranean) nation embedded itself in the Food business and has been a useful agent of extraction since, while other less important roles such as the press and the military were filled from elsewhere (Germany, England, mostly).
It is not that Corruption is pervasive, although most citizens sign up to that view. Neither is it Incompetence, in this case an effect of Corruption in that Higher Education, especially in Medicine,is "said to be" a provider of paid-for qualifications and credentials and generates large-scale Incompetence, which breeds further Corruption in that its practicioners would rather accept gifts than use their inadequately-prepared brains.
Now, I'm talking Latin America, but it's my view that the same processes apply to some extent elsewhere, though better disguised (my mother country is Britain).
People make much noise about getting rid of corruption but for some reason nothing happens. Maybe we can, in exploring this, take into account Dr.Midwestern's theme of Media Addiction (if I can put it like that)...
Where I live (to sum up), Corruption runs through the public paradigm like letters in a stick of rock, or I should say like a stick of rock made of Incompetence, both being socially-diabolical conjoined twins.
How you fix that has vainly occupied minds far more competent than mine, but I submit in commentary on the post of Tom Hogan and the response by Dr. Midwestern that: they are not individual entities; they are not ends of a spectrum; they are a single phenomenon, one with mutually-reinforcing elements engendered by unassailed weaknesses in human collectivity.
Thanks for the space & I hope the above makes sense..
My brother and wife came down with the COVID flu in July 2020. The PCR test showed positive for her but negative for him. Both had similar symptoms. My brother said it was the worst flu he ever had. (using a cycle threshold > 40 is obserd, I have used PCR for over 20 years.)
I worked closely with him for two days outside at my mother's house. One day later he developed symptoms. I did not. When I asked about treatment, he said the nurse told him to stay home, take tylenol and go to the emergency room if breathing became difficult.
I found the "stay at home until near death" prescription totally unacceptable! That is when I began to scour the internet searching for answers including peer reviews on treatment of viral flu and COVID. I already knew that HCQ was not deadly as I took chloroquine for malaria prophylaxis in 1990.
I found out about alternative early treatments including vitamins and other treatments being careful to view toxicities of each. In Aug 2020 the word about IVM began circulating. It was amazing to me that these, HCQ and IVM, treatments were banded by State governments. That just made me angry and I found ways to get HCQ, IVM, and Bromhexine from overseas.
I read about the glorious mRNA work around by replacing uridine with pseudouridine in late 2020. The mRNA spiked protein was only to go into cytoplasm and not the nucleous with no mention of the mitochondria. I knew they were lying but had to wait until late 2021 for the truth to come out.
There is much more to share but after the mRNA gene therapy began but now I have zero trust in hospitals and some doctors that I had great respect for including my cardiologist by August 2021 I no longer trust.
I visited an allergist in mid 2021 that asked me why I have not taken the jabs. I told him of a bad reaction to PEG and was concerned about anaphylaxis.
He went not further with that. I assumed later that there must be some type of bonus for doctors that convince people to get jabbed. I friend of mine in another city said that after the death of her father, the hospital called and wanted to put COVID death on the certificate. She refused.
The very idea that government and businesses could force people into injections of experimental carp is/was anathema to me. No informed consent, non full disclosure of ingredients, no liability.
Was this all an accident or something contrived?
My background was pre-med but ended up with an engineering degree instead.
Have a BS, MS, and PhD in engineering.
My father and uncles were all in WWII and Korea. I was taught in high school how to recognize propaganda and have heard a lot if it in the last 2 years.
Interestingly enough, I have never heard of bromohexine for COVID-19 before, which goes to show there is always something new to learn!
I have a good friend in Canada who had a documented anaphylactic reaction to PEG after a different medical procedure 2 years before COVID, and despite this and a lot of work was not able to get a medical exemption just for travel...so I would say your doctor was actually quite open minded.
With many vaccines given by doctors in their offices, there are very clear financial payment structures that make doctors push vaccinations on all of their patients. It may have changed, but I do not believe as of this time medicare has updated their quality scores (good quality score=higher medicare payments) to incentivize vaccinating as many of your patients with the COVID-19 vaccine as possible. Rather, I believe this is primarily ideological, and coming from administrators pressuring their staff to vaccinate and not say anything bad about the vaccines.
Bromhexine is not available in the US. It is inexpensive and sold over the counter in Europe and many places around the world. Bromhexine is a mucolytic cough medication that inhibits the expression of cellular TMPRSS2 protease and thus the entry of the virus into the cell. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7116903/
Yeah its quite sad. I am really looking forward to seeing how all the doctors act in 4 years and try to all pretend they never actually supported this.
Thank you for this, and your essay's reference to SlateStarCodex - I haven't read him in years. I picked a cardiologist this spring precisely because his medical training was in Croatia, so I thought he'd be less likely to hassle me abt the vaccine - he was a great listener, but referred me on to his colleague, who oddly did not mention the vaccine at all (and my online record would have shown I didn't get it). Of course, these were both during low case times in warm weather. I'm armed w materials if a doctor does bug me though - they won't want to wind me up. I have watched 0 TV during the pandemic; started following the dissenters in May 2020, when the posts of boriquagato made more sense than those of the narrative repeaters. I've been a nuance person for years.
I really appreciate the way you laid out your philosophical framework and then explained what you saw and how you experienced the COVID-19 events in the context of that clear framework. I pray I can get more of my friends and family in the medical fields to read your work.
As you may have gathered, I love that movie. When I first heard it described I thought it would be terrible and pretentious, but it was in fact extraordinarily well done.
Interesting article...long but worth the read. You need to read it carefully for the "bad" kind of typos that are not automatically found -- like this one: "Many stories that should be covered or censored by the mainstream news and as a result, you can only find them within the conspiracy realm." (Obviously "or" should be "are". Completely changes the meaning of the sentence. I hate those.)
I am very familiar with Reagan's 'Trust, but verify' quote but I also like 'Doubt, but verify'. Keeps you honest!
So many good points...your point about how there were severe outbreaks in NY and the theory there was something else exacerbating it. Early on, I remember thinking that was odd because Patient Zero apparently came into the US through Seattle. I am in the SF Bay Area and given the west coast had thousands of people coming from Asia everyday, while there were outbreaks here, it was no one near as severe as the east coast. Frankly, despite the news count. locally the only people I knew to get CV were my nephews and that wasn't until Christmas 2020. There are way, way more now. In spring 2020, the only people I knew getting CV were family members of colleagues at work who lived in the NY area. (One lost both parents in a week.) At one point, I saw that the east coast had 'the Italian variant' which was the reason for the greater severity, but my understanding is at that point in time, only the wild variant existed, so why the difference? (Please correct me if I am wrong)
I will don my tin foil hat for a moment here.; if indeed there was an environmental element exacerbating the virulence of CV. I wonder if the intent was to install fear amongst your colleagues so they would be 'on board' with the narrative. NYC is the face of the US and home of the traditional media. But very curious the Bay Area - home to social media - did not experience the same issues, even though pre-CV, there were something like 30,000 people coming into CA daily from Asia.
Thank you for your expertise and interest in "disentangling this". This also has been my greatest interest besides bearing witness to the VAERS, Yellow Card and EudraVigilance sites since 2021. You are the only repository for my small observation of this mammoth Elephant, so here goes. In fall of 2019, one son and myself, my husband and our cat (!) flew to France for our first ever visit there. In the Seattle airport my son, age 34 at the time, and I were on a descending escalator when a very tall and large gentleman behind us began coughing uncontrollably and very loudly. It was as if his spittle blanketed everyone below him. I remember my son and I looking at each other as if to say, "WTF?" It was so extraordinary and strange, I thought for a moment we might have to assist in an emergency medical situation. Three days later in the isolated very small French village of our dear friends, I woke up with the sorest throat I'd ever had, sneezing (which I've rarely ever done in my life) and my nose gushing water. This was at the beginning of the only vacation we'd taken in 20 years and our only time ever in France! Thank god I never lost the sense of taste and smell, nor did anyone else......but the entire French family, our friends, and all three of us had this condition within 24 hours of me waking up with it. Quite the coronavirus! We each felt like crap for several days in turn, but still managed to tour the countryside and eat like kings. Thank God. We took turns dozing in the car on our worst days, but could clamber out for scenic hikes. Everyone took the ascorbate C I had and our French hosts shared their homeopathic flu tablets as we all went through copious amounts of tissues, water, red wine and fabulous food. When we returned home in three weeks, out of curiosity I looked up US biolabs and was astonished to see the proliferation - particularly around Seattle and Boston. I'd been involved with trying to enforce the moratorium on them since the mid 80s and the advent of the GMO Flavr Savr Tomato, but I hadn't paid attention to the issue in some years. **** 5 months later, early 2020 I got a winter "flu" and was sicker than I'd ever been and for the first time in my life felt I almost couldn't get oxygen and also for the first time felt a sort of death. I recovered, mainly sleeping and drinking as much hot herb tea as my brain could manage to come up with but then developed a constant sneezing, bad mucous condition which was completely foreign to me and I found very odd. (Our cat was also sick and sneezing for about ten days.) We have never been to doctors or taken any kind of pharmaceuticals and it took me months to kind of figure out this was maybe "mast cell activation"? or something. By January 2021 all our friends and family, in their fervent excitement, were pressuring us to get our vaccines and I fully intended to comply. But first I wanted to know if the injections were safe if you'd already had covid, and what my inflammatory markers were since I certainly had something going on with constant sneezing and mucous output. My husband was adamant about not getting the mRNA and took a J&J and the day he did, I was too congested to go with him. And every time through the next few weeks when the clinic called to let me know it was my turn, I would start sneezing so much I couldn't make the appointment! Then they temporarily pulled the J&J and I remain uninjected and apparently looking as if I dangerously possess three heads to most all our friends of 25 years.******** Your story of your beloved mentor who perished rather than go into hospital affects me very much, because that could easily be me. But my story is that of my most beloved grandfather who has always been my guardian, in life as well as death, who swore if he went into hospital when he developed one of his bouts with pneumonia, that he would die. Finally, the last time he was ill, my grandmother got so worried she did put him in the hospital and he died within 2 days. *********** So please let us all know when you find out what strange causative agents are at work with this devilry! Blood type? Secretors, non secretors? Lifetime amount of vaccines? Age, weight, diet, exercise, electro magnetic saturation? Why Italy and New York and to a much lesser extent, Seattle? Delivery system, air, water, food?
And for the umpteenth time, thank you, thank you for your unrelenting work and curiosity!
I have spoken to a lot of people (physicians included) who believe COVID-19 was in the USA prior to the Wuhan outbreak based on witnessing an unusual COVID like illness. There are a variety of explanations for this such as:
•The US leaked it by accident and then leaked it again on China to put the blame on them.
•It was circulating in China much earlier than was realized.
Regardless of how you dice it, it's a very murky question.
In terms of what predisposes you to severe COVID-19, I have a lot of theories, but I do not have any single one I feel confident in, and since I have a large audience, it feels more responsible to be honest that I don't know rather than throw out idle speculation that may become misinformation in the future.
More recently, Jeffrey Sachs, very publicly stated that it is his view that the origin of the virus is in a US biotech lab...a US biotech lab. Not a Chinese lab.
In the future please divide your posts into smaller paragraphs. You share very good information but your post is quite difficult to read, especially on a mobile device.
I'm in Sunnyvale and have also wondered why San Francisco seems to be such an outlier. Larger percent of people on HIV or PREP drugs?
The only other thing I could think of is if Omicron is actually a pre-cursor to the Wuhan strain and spread through here giving immunity in 2018/2019. There are a lot of people travelling back and forth from Cupertino to Wuhan on business.
A doctor I know in San Francisco believes COVID was there prior to the official Wuhan outbreak, and since there was an unusual amount of sun earlier in that year, they had vitamin D reserves that protected them sufficiently to build herd immunity. Alternately, the fog in the air may have mitigated some of the fluid stagnation the virus created due to the negative ions present in seawater. I can't really vouch for either of those explanations with confidence, but they are my best guesses.
I love reading your posts and find myself well aligned with your line of thinking quite often. I think I told you before that my husband is a patient of a well known Michigan practice that developed a nebulizer and vitamin protocol for treating CoVid early, as they were in the middle of a hot-spot early CoVid county. After our visit to them to discuss my husband’s work vax mandate and the CoVid treatment protocol so we could be prepared, I told my husband that the office was, IMO, way too casual about CoVid. There was almost a downplaying of it as if it were similar to any other respiratory virus. There was a definitive statement made that “I’ve had CoVid, so I am now immune” by the physician. I had already heard, through my unvaxxed homeschool group, of unvaxxed people getting CoVid again. We had already seen in the media “breakthrough” cases in the vaxxed. My theory has always been that spike damage is going to be cumulative, so you want to avoid the spike as best you can, and when you do get sick, treat aggressively and early and give enough time after to REST and fully recover. I told my husband “That’s hubris to not take CoVid seriously and be so casual. People are getting it more than once regardless of vax status, and nothing about this virus is normal.” So it was interesting that during the Delta surge, when I drove to the practice to pick up more pre-mix of the nebulizer solution (I gave my previous bag to an ND friend when she and her husband got terribly sick during the Delta wave) that the practice that had been so casual about the staff being immune as CoVid had already gone through the office had NOW instituted major protocols to keep their staff and patients safer. I was not allowed into the office to pick up my supplies. I had to park and call and have it delivered to my car. There were signs on the door that no one with any symptoms should come into the office and if they needed care, care would be given in the parking lot. It was a total change, and I imagine it is likely because the staff caught CoVid again during the Delta wave.
We did avoid CoVid for two years while we stayed home in a little bubble with homeschooled kids. But at a certain point we realized that it is an exercise in futility and we can’t live this way forever. So we rejoined society and got Omicron. For us, it was unlike any other illness as well. My husband and I both had neurological issues. My PANS kid actually did well with it and mounted a good fever response which is unusual for him. My middle kid had some weird lingering effects that I still feel unsettled about. My youngest seemed to sail through.
I still don’t want repeat CoVid infections. I assume the damage will be cumulative. We are going to adopt some hygiene and supplement protocols as the kids return to in person school. I don’t know what the future looks like, but I am trying to be prepared and cautious without crossing over into agoraphobia and paralyzing fear.
No one truly understands the total impact that repeat infection with a lab enhanced chimera will be. Even if we are unvaxxed. Spike is spike. It’s pathogenic.
Yeah. I get it’s inevitable we will be exposed repeatedly. Was hoping there would be some ways to limit viral load while still being out in the world. Like Iodine nasal and mouth sprays and Navage use after school. It’s frustrating as we already have chronic illness and walk a tightrope.
...And this of course never gets mentioned when discussing the illness. As you may know, Mass Cell disorder often develops from Spike protein poisoning, and one of the fascinating things for me was how many people "suddenly discovered" this disease exists when chronically ill patients have been dealing with it for decades. A lot of the chronic neuroimmune diseases that are exacerbated by things like wildfires and EMFs seem to also be very susceptible to spike protein toxicity (for example chronic Lyme will reactivate).
You’re singing the songs of my people. My husband has suspected Lyme. I definitely have at least Histamine Issues if not full blown MCAS. Kid with PANS/Mauro-immune stuff. CoVid was not fun or easy for any of us.
To understand what that is, I did a google and found the following from 2011,
“What is the life expectancy of someone with mast cell disease?
Most patients survive less than 1 year and respond poorly to cytoreductive drugs or chemotherapy. Mast cell activation disease in general has long been thought to be rare.”
Thank you for another great article. I very much appreciate you expounding upon the nuances and shades of gray that surround us. It is an ability or trait that most people lack these days, which is to the detriment of our society. I assume that the ability to see things in gray ebbs and flows over time. Twenty years ago, my preference to see things in gray colors meant that I was everyone's friend because we could always find something that we agreed on. Now it makes me an enemy of most people because I don't pass their purity tests. The reality is that very few things are truly black and white.
i am documenting this whole "viruses do not exist" argument in very simple terms so everyone can agree on what the argument as really about. i would love your input. thank you.
Pneumonia in covid-19 puzzles me. I've had pneumonia from more typical flu, but none from either covid bout (original and "Omicron"). Horrible, but does not kill suddenly. However, the first gave me choking bronchial spasms. (I think the Establishment concealed bronchitis as "CT signs"; perhaps what you called "unique lung CT finding".) Other than a personal communication, I've never seen any published reference to it, though early on the Establishment mentioned use of dexamethasone injection and inhaled budesonide. Very odd, since coronavirus is classically called "infectious bronchitis virus" (IBV).
Fraud and delusion differs much in science depending on field. Economics, social science, psychology, and psychiatry seem far worse than virology or pharmacology.
Chemistry, though often subservient to Big Pharma, seems to have relatively little, though keep all those bogus, erstwhile "elements" and polywater in mind. I suppose the pharmacological patent literature will have to do for most of the fraud in chemistry. (See the patent US3254124 for ketamine as an example. Invokes an implausible ring expansion and cyanide acting as a leaving group. Wikipedia does not show the alleged cyanide leaving group. Granted, I haven't personally tried to replicate that reported synthesis. If anyone reading this has, please let me know.)
Physics appears to have very little outright fraud, though I have some suspicions about wrong turns, misleads, and delusion, and remain bewildered about metallically catalysed "cold fusion". (Specifically, the Standard Model seems to fail Occam's Razor. Muster Mark's quarks have fractional charge and can't be isolated? Yeah, you "take three quarks"! Even better, take one. We'll skip two quarks, since that's the "recipe" for a meson.)
No; just allegedly used in an early synthesis. Point being, cyanide is considered to be a poor leaving group. (It's way too nucleophilic.)
Not that I'm sure I'd want to use ketamine. My dog had nightmares while coming out of it.
If you want cyanide, try apricot and peach pits and apple seeds. Eat fresh before too much cyanide gets released. If your mouth gets numb you ate too much.
MWD,
Each post of yours I read, I am convinced your conclusions and axioms are exactly the same as mine. Multiple times throughout, I am fascinated to finally have discovered someone who's life view/outlook is so close to mine that I can't imagine it being less similar. And then a few paragraphs later, you say something new that is also identical. Long ago, I learned I'd struggle with which of my beliefs I could share with whom and in how much detail. Most people cannot tolerate nuance or complexity, but I thrive on it. Reading your posts has been one strange, exciting, and eerily mystical trip....
Of all the things you've shared, two of the axioms have helped me the most in life:
1) Trust but verify. (- Ronald Reagan) But life is short, can't verify everything. So I try to expend only as much energy in the verification as the difference the outcome will make in my life. (You said it much better.)
2) This: "I believe one of the fundamental things that has allowed my own knowledge to develop as far as it has was my decision to derive enjoyment from discovering an axiom I carried was wrong and instead become excited by learning there was a much broader or complex truth I was never before aware of. "
I just want to know the truth, learn more, and achieve the best outcomes for me and mine. Other than you, I am the only person I know that "derives enjoyment from discovering an axiom I carried was wrong..."
I will also speculate that that "world view" resulted from the drive to learn the truth. They're linked, at least for me. The excitement from correcting a mistaken conclusion literally means to me I've learned more truth, which seems to be the fundamental pillar of my psychological existence.
Of course, that all links to the awareness of the nuance and that the black/white paradigm is insufficient. If one truly seeks truth in things without concern for violating one's axioms along the way, decades of that honest pursuit really can't lead to any other conclusion. If it does, the pursuit isn't honest and you're no longer purely looking for truth.
It's a joy to read your posts. Keep writing!
Thank you. This was what I felt cut to the core of the various arguments against the existence of viruses.
Hi James!
You aren't the only one seeking "truth", not by a "long shot", because that is the antidote to the insanity in the world today perpetrated by the likes of the operatives of the WEF and their NWO conspirators . . . slimeballs like Schwab and Gates, plus the other psychos like Soros, Tedros, and on and on!
I am suspecting, and hoping, that the true psychopaths are sufficiently disconnected from reality that eventually they are going to self-destruct. Without knowing reality (or "truth"), in their mass delusions they are less capable of performing actions that actually result in the outcomes they desire. I think there must be some Natural fail-safe feedback loop to blunt the manifestation ability of evil people or this world would really be "screwed", even worse than it is now.
So perhaps there is a small but significant group of truth-seekers who intuitively understand that on a "cosmic" level there are no secrets so deceit is counterproductive and downright stupid. We want to know the truth because we want to understand how things really work so that we can be more effective.
Plus, the core cause of people's control trips is fear. The Globalist types must be very frightened, insecure, disconnected from Source, pathetic, and "sorry excuses" for human beings! THESE are the creeps that expect us to submit to them??? They are a JOKE!
Sorry but I think - trust but verify - is an old Russian adage
Zero doubts you're right. But I first heard it from Reagan in the '80's (ironically about the Soviet Union so maybe that's why he chose those words), and it was meaningful enough to me to remember and use for a lifetime to follow.
I care not who said it; only that I heard it and it meant something to me.
That said, thank you for the enlightenment. I will very likely carry that along from this day forward and probably tongue in cheek claim I learned it from Ronnie who (mis)appropriated it from his enemy.
"when a complex issue is framed as two opposing simplistic truths, it makes it possible for the mass media to continually keep Americans in a state of outrage"
"Let’s You and Him Fight: Can We Overcome a Manipulated Conflict?" https://coronawise.substack.com/p/lets-you-and-him-fight-can-we-overcome
Completely agree!
OR simple issue: two definitions will do that every time....the changing what words mean thing....men can give birth, a vaccine is not a vaccine, recession is not a recession....what kills me is why the dictionary people go along....obviously assholes too....words are not sacrosanct w that crowd? when they live/breath words...assholes or idiots, pick one....this word thing is a #1 type thing that cannot be allowed to happen....needs to be unwound...solutions?
Another excellent take on the subject. From 2014. Includes a rather fascinating parallel between toxoplasmosis and outrage. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/
I linked to that article in the post twice!!!
That must be how I originally landed there. Thanks for the reminder!
We absolutely appreciate the philosophical perspective you take to these articles, and it really cuts to the crux of the conundrum. It's a little trippy reading these musings on zen and the art of medical dissidence, which lines up with so much of what we've been thinking and writing on these topics, some of it word for word.
The ability to entertain notions which appear to be in tension is markedly missing from our cultural discourse. There's a focus on object over process, and an unwillingness to understand before objecting.
Robert Anton Wilson, with whom you may be familiar (?) called this idea Maybe Logic; we call it Treealism, or, for the academic set, post-rational constructivism. "Although I greatly value the truth and nothing but the truth, it is important to remember the value of any idea or philosophy should be measured by its utility in your life." That is one of our core axioms.
Understanding the events of the last several years has become a real-world test of these principles, and navigating the murky waters of the group-mind has produced several disturbing conclusions. Indeed, most people only seek to argue, not to agree or understand. We describe this as a motivational matrix running the second-circuit territorial imperative. In times of stress and under threat, this becomes the default mode. Truth becomes something to own and protect, rather than to seek.
Truth is a goat.
https://www.airliftunderground.com/airlift/truth-is-a-goat/
"... most people only seek to argue, not to agree or understand."
This is so true, yet until you wrote it, it was an unconscious awareness I had. I yearn to find a good test to determine when I've found the few seeking agreement and understanding...
The funny part to me is, in my cocksure youth, I was only aware that I really enjoyed the argument (which I considered a "lively" debate). Very glad that perspective changed.
I enjoy arguments but view them as a waste of time, so now that I have less time because I have more responsibilities in life, I argue less.
Similar for me, but also that I feel that I can do something more productive or enjoyable with my time. Besides, most people will not change their mind. They want you to validate what they believe.
Which I feel is fundamentally very narcissistic and has always bothered me because it shows a clear lack of respect for the free will and autonomy of the listener they are speaking to.
This is a wonderful investigative meditation on where we are. I think the meta issue is finding a method for discerning what is worth using up one's bandwidth for and what one can use a heuristic for. When I was a lot younger, I used to walk in an iffy neighborhood in East Oakland California and if a male walking towards me was over 10 or under 70, I would cross the street or change my behavior. Unfair to men, but that was my unconscious heuristic. I just assume everything in the MSM is manipulated BS, and that no data whatsoever is trustworthy, and I'm aware that that's a heuristic, but it is much more likely to be true than not. There's an idea in evolutionary psychology, which I agree with, save for its overarching materialist reductionist paradigm, that our species survived through the overfiring or promiscuity of certain behaviors, e.g. if we thought the motion in the bushes was a tiger when it wasn't, not much cost, but if we blew off the idea that it might be a tiger, we got eaten, thus the genetic lineage into the next generation selected for those who hyperactively or promiscuously assumed tigers. If one is threat sensitive and overfiring and promiscuous about those threats, one has little bandwith left. Then there's also the right brain gestalt which those plugged into the conflict entrepreneurialism of the media never get to. The right brain comprehends where as the left apprehends, according to Iain McGilchrist, and the MSM seems hellbent on making sure that doesn't happen often which creates people with undigested uncomprehended threats and worries saturating them. That's where I think the mass formation theory comes in -- derealized or depersonalized people walking around stunned, or people who've used the heuristic, but never stepped back to comprehend and let their right brain create a gestalt. I knew a year ago when I heard Steve Kirsch and Pierre Kory on Dark Horse because Bret Weinstein had risked his family's livelihood to stand up and speak the truth and Pierre Kory had left everything behind to go into the viral inferno of NY. Then I found Dr. Varon, who hadn't had a day off in 400 days, who speaks 10 languages. My right brain knew the pandemic could've been effectively ended with repurposed drugs because my right brain recognized something that seems patently obvious about these people. But the MSM will keep people in their aggressive mechanistic left brains so they are prone to delusion and derealization. Music will put people into their right brains. It is a very different experience to read the news with headphones on.
I'm just rambling, but I think it is a crucial part of the puzzle, to recognize that we need to think with our bodies and right brains and that is why that is being prevented. Never underestimate one's enemy! (my late English teacher mother would bop me over the head for my shifting subject pronouns in this post but I have no bandwidth lol)
Great comment. The one thing I would add (Gabor Maté MD has done the best job I know of in detailing this subject) is that any type of trauma, especially if it occurs in childhood hyper primes you for this defensive behavior.
Not just humans. One of my cats is an example of this. He was bullied so badly by his brother that we had to take him over. Although he is now a senior authority among the collection and expert in tranquilising disputes, the shadow of the earlier trauma remains. He cannot sit down to eat and is hypercautious of visitors and the doorbell.
When he arrived he'd been laying up only to look for food with our niece at 3 or 4 in the morning, he was severely dehydrated and ready to hide at no notice.
It took weeks to familiarise him towards a relaxed outlook. This bore fruit a couple of years later when a starving street kitten turned up and "uncle" took him over & made sure he felt at home.
The readiness to hide is still there, after some 6 - 7 years, which is a long time for a small animal.
He is, like I said, the peacemaker, and a lovely sensitive character.
Interestingly Gabor's son Aaron Mate (some tell me Gabor as well, I don't really follow him) appears to have buckled into a bit of mass formation on the injections.
Like much of the "left", and I use the quotes because I don't know what that means any more.
The vaccine concept fits so well into their collective good mindset that it never occurs to them perhaps to make sure the Pinto doesn't have an Exploding Gas Tank.

I have made jokes about Pintos for years.
That said it's amazing how many people 100% fell for the vaccine narrative who were always anti authoritarianism and skeptical of so many other things about the system.
The power of branding.
It's a religious war now.
Call it a "vaccine" and it's Jesus/Allah/Buddha all wrapped in one Exploding Gas Tank altar.
My question with all of this has been what was worth destroying a brand they invested over a century to build.
I don't know. There are forces at work that we cannot comprehend and one of my pet theories is that humans simply do not like not knowing.
My sense is that this an end game type of take over by people who realized that they owned the world and all the "nodes" of control, as Dr. Meryl Nass phrases it.
They clearly don't have a fallback plan in say, Aussie, or Kanada. They obliterated any pretense. That to me is very ominous.
I loved your post. You summarized so well the reality of the dissonance and noise that is being deliberately generated to make it hard for humanity to truly grasp what it going on in life on pretty much every level. The music on while reading the news (aka substack) is a tip I plan on implementing immediately! I’ve always found the power of music in life to be a necessity. It feeds the soul. Thank you!
Thank you :)
It will probably be a long time before I get to discussing the effects of sound on here (it has been a big part of my life since I have hypersensitive hearing).
I’ve had 2nd hand experience of that. My daughter got diagnosed with a condition called misofonia about 8 years ago, although she’s suffered from it for longer than that. It’s challenging for her, as there’s not really a cure, just therapy strategies to lessen the impact on her life. Hope you’ve also found grace and the means to manage what afflicts you.
Oh how we get conditioned! Now there are nine- and ten year old rapists out there. Times have changed!
It's a good way of thinking. More people should really be aware that this is...
a) Possible to think in spectrums, not just one way or another. Nor left and right, but up and down, in and out and all around.
b) Situations like you find in the game rock, paper, scissors exist everywhere. So one best tool, idea or thing isn't always the best. It is situationally dependent.
c)Yin and yang is probably my favorite symbol in the whole world as it conveys a lot of important messages. Not just of "balance" which is the most obvious and very important, but within each half, a small portion of the opposite exists within the other. Eg you don't need to be perfect to be perfect and the little imperfections in something are often what make them perfect and valuable.
d) I also keep an eye on some of the sciences emerging from certain "conspiracy theories" as often these are simply new sciences emerging, or forks in the road of older sciences that may actually turn out to be right because "science" made a mistake years ago and is now finding it hard to go back. But some are totally bogus too. A lot are.
e) "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." not Aristotle.

Just sayin'....https://atkinsbookshelf.wordpress.com/2019/05/01/famous-misquotations-it-is-the-mark-of-an-educated-mind/
very interesting
So many quotes get misquoted or fabricated!
Wow. What a great post. There are too many subject points worthy of comment, so I would like to ask a question instead. One of your points is that the blood clots that often form can be resistant to anti-coagulants. Given your openness to traditional/alternative treatments, what is your opinion on Serrapeptase?
According to WebMD - "Blood Clot Thinner: Serrapeptase may potentially help break down the plaque that builds up inside your arteries, something known as atherosclerosis. Recent studies have successfully used similar fibrinolytic enzymes produced by microorganisms in the treatment of blood clots, specifically in relation to dissolving fibrin, a common artery-blocking compound."
The mystery clots that Steve Kirsch has been reporting for months are very concerning to me. If there is any way to mitigate that risk, I am open to exploring it. Not asking for or expecting official medical advice, but I am interested in any comments you might have. Thanks!
A lot of integrative physicians have been finding that they need to use Serrapeptase or Lumbrokinase when treating vaccine injuries. It does not solve the issue but it does help.
Jeez lots of great thoughts here but there are some misconceptions. These include but are not limited to the following. I'm not going to give references except for my robertyoho.substack.com.
Disinformation, misinformation, and conspiracy theory as verbiage should be purged from your thoughts and writing because all are used as propaganda and to promote lies. (See how simple and clean that was?)
Saying that our response to Covid was wrong is an obvious point. Equally obvious now is that Covid itself was manufactured to damage the western world. The entire malign effort was planned, still in progress, and we must stay frosty if we are not to be destroyed.
Sociopathy is NOT poor childhood or adverse conditioning. It's inborn, innate, and 1-5 percent of the whole population. Religious people call them devils, and you must realize by now that they walk among us. Their motivations are obscure, not only because we don't think in terms like theirs--overwhelming narcissism, lack of interest or concern for needs of others, and often criminal intent--but because they may have irrational goals of torturing or damaging others that do not even advantage themselves.
-I do not like to police my language and my preference is to go with the term that most clearly articulates the point I am trying to make. The specific context I used those terms in is important.
-I am trying to focus on illustrating many of the foundational factors that created an environment where bad actors could do these sorts of actions rather than just complain about them (which other people are doing). My whole goal is to focus on discussing things other people are not speaking about because I have way more to write than I will ever have time to cover.
-My opinion on the sociopathy isssue is:
•Many cases (specifically the lack of normal human capacities that prevent sociopathic behaviors) arise from brain damage which is often due to vaccination (there is a lot of evidence for this) and in other cases from things like SSRIs.
•A small number of people (less than 1%) are born with actual demons inside them and this is an issue many cultures have struggled with throughout history. Henry Kissenger and Hillary Clinton are the two public figures I know this is the case for.
•A lot of bad things people do are a direct result of traumatic abuse they experienced that patterned them to conduct similar behavior, and this is frequently found by forensic psychiatrists. I do not believe this excuses their behavior and I support locking them away (because otherwise they will continue to repeat the behavior) but I also think it is important to be honest about what motivates a lot of that behavior.
I am hopeful that at some point you are able to elaborate on your opinion on sociopathy. That said, I would guess that if you ranked by importance the things you would like to/need to write about, it may never reach the top.
It's explained in a book called: Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality: The Medical Assault on the American Brain
Along with other books/research that have noticed sociopaths have clear MRI abnormalities.
Curious about what the differences are on the MRIs? I have wondered if the jabs have effected intelligence since reading the brain has miles of capillaries and its known the spikes adhere to the endothelial walls scarring them and creating clots. Even destroying the walls of the endothelial capillaries too. Fascinating subject but really disturbing people/devils want to hurt mankind to this degree!!!
When you actually know some poor people, you realize that they live among predators, including relatives, who take their stuff and even threaten their safety. This explains why they often lack a long fth and don't save money and make decisions based on immediate benefits that cannot be stolen.
Sociopathy IS learned, psychopathy is INBORN. A majority of psychologists agree on that point.
Someone once taught about sheep, wolves, and shepherds.
Yes! Great points. All the confusion about mismanagement disappear in light of the deliberate nature of the virus creation and the coordinated assault on treatments that actually work.
Another level of evil influence, not generally recognized, are entities—non-corporeal “bad actors” that attach themselves to people and urge them to carry out destructive actions.
Also, when one is worth billions, it becomes more difficult to relate to poorer humanity particularly without religious training as children, whereby MOST then would hold onto to those values throughout life (to some degree)!!! Its much bigger than that I realize, but these ppl think they are GODS and have rights over all of humanity. To think they are megalomaniac enough to want to kill off billions of people is psychoville, but I believe that is the goal. If one believes in the “end times” per Christianity, Satan has captured the world and this seems to make the most sense! Hopefully, God will halt this soon!!!
Agreed. If one believes Satan = hate, and Jesus = love, the bible makes more sense. Satan is simply the personification of hate, intolerance, bigotry, violence, etc. While Jesus is the personification of love, tolerance, team work, peace.
I should add that we should be reluctant to accept the corruption/malefaction hypothesis until the data forces us to accept it. The incompetence hypothesis should always be our first choice. Let the data govern our thesis choices.
By "data", I don't merely mean "scientific data". "Follow the money" must always be asked and evidence of conspiracy must always be looked at--such as Event 201. When you examine the influential people who participated in Event 201 at wikispooks and at the Event 201 website, more questions are raised.
I believe the corruption hypothesis in this case, but I also often frequently see the incompetence one play out.
The Elephant in the Dark.
I live in one of the Spanish Conquista countries which, after Independence, continued under the control of the Encomienda (Land Granted by the Spanish King) Families, diversifying a little with the advent of expatriates of which one specific (northern mediterranean) nation embedded itself in the Food business and has been a useful agent of extraction since, while other less important roles such as the press and the military were filled from elsewhere (Germany, England, mostly).
It is not that Corruption is pervasive, although most citizens sign up to that view. Neither is it Incompetence, in this case an effect of Corruption in that Higher Education, especially in Medicine,is "said to be" a provider of paid-for qualifications and credentials and generates large-scale Incompetence, which breeds further Corruption in that its practicioners would rather accept gifts than use their inadequately-prepared brains.
Now, I'm talking Latin America, but it's my view that the same processes apply to some extent elsewhere, though better disguised (my mother country is Britain).
People make much noise about getting rid of corruption but for some reason nothing happens. Maybe we can, in exploring this, take into account Dr.Midwestern's theme of Media Addiction (if I can put it like that)...
Where I live (to sum up), Corruption runs through the public paradigm like letters in a stick of rock, or I should say like a stick of rock made of Incompetence, both being socially-diabolical conjoined twins.
How you fix that has vainly occupied minds far more competent than mine, but I submit in commentary on the post of Tom Hogan and the response by Dr. Midwestern that: they are not individual entities; they are not ends of a spectrum; they are a single phenomenon, one with mutually-reinforcing elements engendered by unassailed weaknesses in human collectivity.
Thanks for the space & I hope the above makes sense..
Great point. That makes sense. I have to walk a fine line between being accurate and breaking concepts into things people can understand.
My brother and wife came down with the COVID flu in July 2020. The PCR test showed positive for her but negative for him. Both had similar symptoms. My brother said it was the worst flu he ever had. (using a cycle threshold > 40 is obserd, I have used PCR for over 20 years.)
I worked closely with him for two days outside at my mother's house. One day later he developed symptoms. I did not. When I asked about treatment, he said the nurse told him to stay home, take tylenol and go to the emergency room if breathing became difficult.
I found the "stay at home until near death" prescription totally unacceptable! That is when I began to scour the internet searching for answers including peer reviews on treatment of viral flu and COVID. I already knew that HCQ was not deadly as I took chloroquine for malaria prophylaxis in 1990.
I found out about alternative early treatments including vitamins and other treatments being careful to view toxicities of each. In Aug 2020 the word about IVM began circulating. It was amazing to me that these, HCQ and IVM, treatments were banded by State governments. That just made me angry and I found ways to get HCQ, IVM, and Bromhexine from overseas.
I read about the glorious mRNA work around by replacing uridine with pseudouridine in late 2020. The mRNA spiked protein was only to go into cytoplasm and not the nucleous with no mention of the mitochondria. I knew they were lying but had to wait until late 2021 for the truth to come out.
There is much more to share but after the mRNA gene therapy began but now I have zero trust in hospitals and some doctors that I had great respect for including my cardiologist by August 2021 I no longer trust.
I visited an allergist in mid 2021 that asked me why I have not taken the jabs. I told him of a bad reaction to PEG and was concerned about anaphylaxis.
He went not further with that. I assumed later that there must be some type of bonus for doctors that convince people to get jabbed. I friend of mine in another city said that after the death of her father, the hospital called and wanted to put COVID death on the certificate. She refused.
The very idea that government and businesses could force people into injections of experimental carp is/was anathema to me. No informed consent, non full disclosure of ingredients, no liability.
Was this all an accident or something contrived?
My background was pre-med but ended up with an engineering degree instead.
Have a BS, MS, and PhD in engineering.
My father and uncles were all in WWII and Korea. I was taught in high school how to recognize propaganda and have heard a lot if it in the last 2 years.
Interestingly enough, I have never heard of bromohexine for COVID-19 before, which goes to show there is always something new to learn!
I have a good friend in Canada who had a documented anaphylactic reaction to PEG after a different medical procedure 2 years before COVID, and despite this and a lot of work was not able to get a medical exemption just for travel...so I would say your doctor was actually quite open minded.
With many vaccines given by doctors in their offices, there are very clear financial payment structures that make doctors push vaccinations on all of their patients. It may have changed, but I do not believe as of this time medicare has updated their quality scores (good quality score=higher medicare payments) to incentivize vaccinating as many of your patients with the COVID-19 vaccine as possible. Rather, I believe this is primarily ideological, and coming from administrators pressuring their staff to vaccinate and not say anything bad about the vaccines.
Bromhexine is not available in the US. It is inexpensive and sold over the counter in Europe and many places around the world. Bromhexine is a mucolytic cough medication that inhibits the expression of cellular TMPRSS2 protease and thus the entry of the virus into the cell. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7116903/
Got it, thank you.
I had to learn way too much about how our immune system works.
Toll-Like Receptors, CD and T cells, etc.
It was the only way to keep my wife and I safe over the last two years.
My ENT was the only doctor that told me not to take the gene therapy shots.
He did this quietly in the exam room with no one else in the room.
He regrets being force to take them.
Yeah its quite sad. I am really looking forward to seeing how all the doctors act in 4 years and try to all pretend they never actually supported this.
Thank you for this, and your essay's reference to SlateStarCodex - I haven't read him in years. I picked a cardiologist this spring precisely because his medical training was in Croatia, so I thought he'd be less likely to hassle me abt the vaccine - he was a great listener, but referred me on to his colleague, who oddly did not mention the vaccine at all (and my online record would have shown I didn't get it). Of course, these were both during low case times in warm weather. I'm armed w materials if a doctor does bug me though - they won't want to wind me up. I have watched 0 TV during the pandemic; started following the dissenters in May 2020, when the posts of boriquagato made more sense than those of the narrative repeaters. I've been a nuance person for years.
I really appreciate the way you laid out your philosophical framework and then explained what you saw and how you experienced the COVID-19 events in the context of that clear framework. I pray I can get more of my friends and family in the medical fields to read your work.
Thank you so much for your support. I am trying very hard to not make any false claims and only speak to what i know with relative certainty.
Brilliant! That movie Idiocracy has been in my mind since I saw it years and years ago.
As you may have gathered, I love that movie. When I first heard it described I thought it would be terrible and pretentious, but it was in fact extraordinarily well done.
Yes it was.
Interesting article...long but worth the read. You need to read it carefully for the "bad" kind of typos that are not automatically found -- like this one: "Many stories that should be covered or censored by the mainstream news and as a result, you can only find them within the conspiracy realm." (Obviously "or" should be "are". Completely changes the meaning of the sentence. I hate those.)
Thank you. I caught that one on the second re-read. If there are any others, please let me know!
I am very familiar with Reagan's 'Trust, but verify' quote but I also like 'Doubt, but verify'. Keeps you honest!
So many good points...your point about how there were severe outbreaks in NY and the theory there was something else exacerbating it. Early on, I remember thinking that was odd because Patient Zero apparently came into the US through Seattle. I am in the SF Bay Area and given the west coast had thousands of people coming from Asia everyday, while there were outbreaks here, it was no one near as severe as the east coast. Frankly, despite the news count. locally the only people I knew to get CV were my nephews and that wasn't until Christmas 2020. There are way, way more now. In spring 2020, the only people I knew getting CV were family members of colleagues at work who lived in the NY area. (One lost both parents in a week.) At one point, I saw that the east coast had 'the Italian variant' which was the reason for the greater severity, but my understanding is at that point in time, only the wild variant existed, so why the difference? (Please correct me if I am wrong)
I will don my tin foil hat for a moment here.; if indeed there was an environmental element exacerbating the virulence of CV. I wonder if the intent was to install fear amongst your colleagues so they would be 'on board' with the narrative. NYC is the face of the US and home of the traditional media. But very curious the Bay Area - home to social media - did not experience the same issues, even though pre-CV, there were something like 30,000 people coming into CA daily from Asia.
I completely agree with your observations which is part of why I was so draws to spending a lot of time trying to disentangle this.
Thank you for your expertise and interest in "disentangling this". This also has been my greatest interest besides bearing witness to the VAERS, Yellow Card and EudraVigilance sites since 2021. You are the only repository for my small observation of this mammoth Elephant, so here goes. In fall of 2019, one son and myself, my husband and our cat (!) flew to France for our first ever visit there. In the Seattle airport my son, age 34 at the time, and I were on a descending escalator when a very tall and large gentleman behind us began coughing uncontrollably and very loudly. It was as if his spittle blanketed everyone below him. I remember my son and I looking at each other as if to say, "WTF?" It was so extraordinary and strange, I thought for a moment we might have to assist in an emergency medical situation. Three days later in the isolated very small French village of our dear friends, I woke up with the sorest throat I'd ever had, sneezing (which I've rarely ever done in my life) and my nose gushing water. This was at the beginning of the only vacation we'd taken in 20 years and our only time ever in France! Thank god I never lost the sense of taste and smell, nor did anyone else......but the entire French family, our friends, and all three of us had this condition within 24 hours of me waking up with it. Quite the coronavirus! We each felt like crap for several days in turn, but still managed to tour the countryside and eat like kings. Thank God. We took turns dozing in the car on our worst days, but could clamber out for scenic hikes. Everyone took the ascorbate C I had and our French hosts shared their homeopathic flu tablets as we all went through copious amounts of tissues, water, red wine and fabulous food. When we returned home in three weeks, out of curiosity I looked up US biolabs and was astonished to see the proliferation - particularly around Seattle and Boston. I'd been involved with trying to enforce the moratorium on them since the mid 80s and the advent of the GMO Flavr Savr Tomato, but I hadn't paid attention to the issue in some years. **** 5 months later, early 2020 I got a winter "flu" and was sicker than I'd ever been and for the first time in my life felt I almost couldn't get oxygen and also for the first time felt a sort of death. I recovered, mainly sleeping and drinking as much hot herb tea as my brain could manage to come up with but then developed a constant sneezing, bad mucous condition which was completely foreign to me and I found very odd. (Our cat was also sick and sneezing for about ten days.) We have never been to doctors or taken any kind of pharmaceuticals and it took me months to kind of figure out this was maybe "mast cell activation"? or something. By January 2021 all our friends and family, in their fervent excitement, were pressuring us to get our vaccines and I fully intended to comply. But first I wanted to know if the injections were safe if you'd already had covid, and what my inflammatory markers were since I certainly had something going on with constant sneezing and mucous output. My husband was adamant about not getting the mRNA and took a J&J and the day he did, I was too congested to go with him. And every time through the next few weeks when the clinic called to let me know it was my turn, I would start sneezing so much I couldn't make the appointment! Then they temporarily pulled the J&J and I remain uninjected and apparently looking as if I dangerously possess three heads to most all our friends of 25 years.******** Your story of your beloved mentor who perished rather than go into hospital affects me very much, because that could easily be me. But my story is that of my most beloved grandfather who has always been my guardian, in life as well as death, who swore if he went into hospital when he developed one of his bouts with pneumonia, that he would die. Finally, the last time he was ill, my grandmother got so worried she did put him in the hospital and he died within 2 days. *********** So please let us all know when you find out what strange causative agents are at work with this devilry! Blood type? Secretors, non secretors? Lifetime amount of vaccines? Age, weight, diet, exercise, electro magnetic saturation? Why Italy and New York and to a much lesser extent, Seattle? Delivery system, air, water, food?
And for the umpteenth time, thank you, thank you for your unrelenting work and curiosity!
I have spoken to a lot of people (physicians included) who believe COVID-19 was in the USA prior to the Wuhan outbreak based on witnessing an unusual COVID like illness. There are a variety of explanations for this such as:
•The US leaked it by accident and then leaked it again on China to put the blame on them.
•It was circulating in China much earlier than was realized.
Regardless of how you dice it, it's a very murky question.
In terms of what predisposes you to severe COVID-19, I have a lot of theories, but I do not have any single one I feel confident in, and since I have a large audience, it feels more responsible to be honest that I don't know rather than throw out idle speculation that may become misinformation in the future.
It was reported in 2021 that COVID had a sequence of amino acids that suggested it was man-made:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/follow-the-science-lab-leak-is-most-likely-11634076104
More recently, Jeffrey Sachs, very publicly stated that it is his view that the origin of the virus is in a US biotech lab...a US biotech lab. Not a Chinese lab.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10980715/Covid-leaked-AMERICAN-lab-claims-professor-Jeffrey-Sachs.html
Hence why I have to take the position of being open to both possibilities, but I think the Chinese leak is more probable.
Is that due to the research that Ralph Baric was funding or coordinating through Eco Health Alliance or for other reasons?
In the future please divide your posts into smaller paragraphs. You share very good information but your post is quite difficult to read, especially on a mobile device.
I'm in Sunnyvale and have also wondered why San Francisco seems to be such an outlier. Larger percent of people on HIV or PREP drugs?
The only other thing I could think of is if Omicron is actually a pre-cursor to the Wuhan strain and spread through here giving immunity in 2018/2019. There are a lot of people travelling back and forth from Cupertino to Wuhan on business.
A doctor I know in San Francisco believes COVID was there prior to the official Wuhan outbreak, and since there was an unusual amount of sun earlier in that year, they had vitamin D reserves that protected them sufficiently to build herd immunity. Alternately, the fog in the air may have mitigated some of the fluid stagnation the virus created due to the negative ions present in seawater. I can't really vouch for either of those explanations with confidence, but they are my best guesses.
I love reading your posts and find myself well aligned with your line of thinking quite often. I think I told you before that my husband is a patient of a well known Michigan practice that developed a nebulizer and vitamin protocol for treating CoVid early, as they were in the middle of a hot-spot early CoVid county. After our visit to them to discuss my husband’s work vax mandate and the CoVid treatment protocol so we could be prepared, I told my husband that the office was, IMO, way too casual about CoVid. There was almost a downplaying of it as if it were similar to any other respiratory virus. There was a definitive statement made that “I’ve had CoVid, so I am now immune” by the physician. I had already heard, through my unvaxxed homeschool group, of unvaxxed people getting CoVid again. We had already seen in the media “breakthrough” cases in the vaxxed. My theory has always been that spike damage is going to be cumulative, so you want to avoid the spike as best you can, and when you do get sick, treat aggressively and early and give enough time after to REST and fully recover. I told my husband “That’s hubris to not take CoVid seriously and be so casual. People are getting it more than once regardless of vax status, and nothing about this virus is normal.” So it was interesting that during the Delta surge, when I drove to the practice to pick up more pre-mix of the nebulizer solution (I gave my previous bag to an ND friend when she and her husband got terribly sick during the Delta wave) that the practice that had been so casual about the staff being immune as CoVid had already gone through the office had NOW instituted major protocols to keep their staff and patients safer. I was not allowed into the office to pick up my supplies. I had to park and call and have it delivered to my car. There were signs on the door that no one with any symptoms should come into the office and if they needed care, care would be given in the parking lot. It was a total change, and I imagine it is likely because the staff caught CoVid again during the Delta wave.
We did avoid CoVid for two years while we stayed home in a little bubble with homeschooled kids. But at a certain point we realized that it is an exercise in futility and we can’t live this way forever. So we rejoined society and got Omicron. For us, it was unlike any other illness as well. My husband and I both had neurological issues. My PANS kid actually did well with it and mounted a good fever response which is unusual for him. My middle kid had some weird lingering effects that I still feel unsettled about. My youngest seemed to sail through.
I still don’t want repeat CoVid infections. I assume the damage will be cumulative. We are going to adopt some hygiene and supplement protocols as the kids return to in person school. I don’t know what the future looks like, but I am trying to be prepared and cautious without crossing over into agoraphobia and paralyzing fear.
No one truly understands the total impact that repeat infection with a lab enhanced chimera will be. Even if we are unvaxxed. Spike is spike. It’s pathogenic.
Repeated infections are going to be an issue. Trying to avoid that touches upon the idea of inevitability I listed in this post:
https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/who-was-responsible-for-the-botched
Yeah. I get it’s inevitable we will be exposed repeatedly. Was hoping there would be some ways to limit viral load while still being out in the world. Like Iodine nasal and mouth sprays and Navage use after school. It’s frustrating as we already have chronic illness and walk a tightrope.
...And this of course never gets mentioned when discussing the illness. As you may know, Mass Cell disorder often develops from Spike protein poisoning, and one of the fascinating things for me was how many people "suddenly discovered" this disease exists when chronically ill patients have been dealing with it for decades. A lot of the chronic neuroimmune diseases that are exacerbated by things like wildfires and EMFs seem to also be very susceptible to spike protein toxicity (for example chronic Lyme will reactivate).
You’re singing the songs of my people. My husband has suspected Lyme. I definitely have at least Histamine Issues if not full blown MCAS. Kid with PANS/Mauro-immune stuff. CoVid was not fun or easy for any of us.
To understand what that is, I did a google and found the following from 2011,
“What is the life expectancy of someone with mast cell disease?
Most patients survive less than 1 year and respond poorly to cytoreductive drugs or chemotherapy. Mast cell activation disease in general has long been thought to be rare.”
I think there’s a big degree of difference between
1) Histamine Intolerance
2) MCAS
3) Systemic Mastocytosis
What you are talking about is severe SM. Lots of people live with MCAS.
Thank you for another great article. I very much appreciate you expounding upon the nuances and shades of gray that surround us. It is an ability or trait that most people lack these days, which is to the detriment of our society. I assume that the ability to see things in gray ebbs and flows over time. Twenty years ago, my preference to see things in gray colors meant that I was everyone's friend because we could always find something that we agreed on. Now it makes me an enemy of most people because I don't pass their purity tests. The reality is that very few things are truly black and white.
i am documenting this whole "viruses do not exist" argument in very simple terms so everyone can agree on what the argument as really about. i would love your input. thank you.

Pneumonia in covid-19 puzzles me. I've had pneumonia from more typical flu, but none from either covid bout (original and "Omicron"). Horrible, but does not kill suddenly. However, the first gave me choking bronchial spasms. (I think the Establishment concealed bronchitis as "CT signs"; perhaps what you called "unique lung CT finding".) Other than a personal communication, I've never seen any published reference to it, though early on the Establishment mentioned use of dexamethasone injection and inhaled budesonide. Very odd, since coronavirus is classically called "infectious bronchitis virus" (IBV).
Fraud and delusion differs much in science depending on field. Economics, social science, psychology, and psychiatry seem far worse than virology or pharmacology.
Chemistry, though often subservient to Big Pharma, seems to have relatively little, though keep all those bogus, erstwhile "elements" and polywater in mind. I suppose the pharmacological patent literature will have to do for most of the fraud in chemistry. (See the patent US3254124 for ketamine as an example. Invokes an implausible ring expansion and cyanide acting as a leaving group. Wikipedia does not show the alleged cyanide leaving group. Granted, I haven't personally tried to replicate that reported synthesis. If anyone reading this has, please let me know.)
Physics appears to have very little outright fraud, though I have some suspicions about wrong turns, misleads, and delusion, and remain bewildered about metallically catalysed "cold fusion". (Specifically, the Standard Model seems to fail Occam's Razor. Muster Mark's quarks have fractional charge and can't be isolated? Yeah, you "take three quarks"! Even better, take one. We'll skip two quarks, since that's the "recipe" for a meson.)
Thank you for your thoughts on this.
Pneumonia versus bronchitis isn't to be addressed?
Watch the video I linked to under "(often around day 7 of the illness)"
Where do I find this?? Thank you!
click the link there in the article
Does that mean ketamine is cyanide poisoning?
No; just allegedly used in an early synthesis. Point being, cyanide is considered to be a poor leaving group. (It's way too nucleophilic.)
Not that I'm sure I'd want to use ketamine. My dog had nightmares while coming out of it.
If you want cyanide, try apricot and peach pits and apple seeds. Eat fresh before too much cyanide gets released. If your mouth gets numb you ate too much.
