AMD - I remember, in my much younger days looking at the corruption in our world and feeling so small and alone. One of the great ironies of life is that through this hideous travesty called COVID, we have come to find you and the stellar humans like you, Pierre Kory, Paul Marik, Aseem Malhotra, Tess Laurie, Bonnie Ann Cox, Jessica Rose, Dr Robert Malone, Bobby Kennedy. I am so inspired by all of you.

A wise man once said, “I truly believe we are at a pivotal time, where the work that each of us puts in can make an immense impact on the future course of this world.”

I, for one, am inspired to act upon that advice.

Thank you. I am eternally both grateful and indebted to you folks - for saving me from despair. ☺️

AMD - With this part, --- A wise man once said, “I truly believe we are at a pivotal time, where the work that each of us puts in can make an immense impact on the future course of this world.”

I was quoting you! You wrote that at the very end of your article where you talked about Bobby Kennedy, I was guessing as to the assumption of ‘MAN’ but as for the wise part, you’ve got that in spades!!!!! And sorry if I didn’t represent your quote exactly. Best regards, Elizabeth.

Hi Great Reflect, I hear you. I lost two sisters and a brother due to this COVID travesty. We, the people of this community, are a broad and varied group. None of us will ever see the world in Exactly the same way as everyone else. With this in mind, I think it best to take the gift of labor and analysis, given freely by AMD and boil it down to the most important point.

In my view, the most important point that good doctor is expressing, is that there is major corruption in our institutions that needs to be admitted, acknowledged and rooted out.

Arguing details, amongst ourselves does not serve that end goal. I had a relative who is a army officer in Florida at one time. She told me there was the saying down there that goes as follows, “ it’s hard to remember when you are up to your ass in alligators, that your mission is to drain the swamp.”

I would suggest it would serve us, and humanity, best to focus on draining the swamp instead of behaving within our community, as alligators.

No disrespect here, I just hope that you listen and consider.

BTW, I am so very sorry for your loss.

Aseem Malhotra murdered a lot of people by pushing the injections.

But sure. He's a stellar human being.

And one day if Anthony Fauci sees the lights and denounces his malfeasance in pushing death shots, maybe you will perceive him a stellar human being too?

Of course, AMD says it's irresponsible to offer up theories without proof, but that's precisely what every person who pushed these injections did. They had no proof. They were speculating. The products were novel and untested.

If Malhotra can see the light only after his own father tumbles off the cliff, then how stellar a human being is he?

Equivocating Malhotra and Fauci is a good example of the "bad analogy" fallacy.

If in anyway you care about this, I tried to give a more detailed perspective on my thoughts about him here:

<i>Aseem Malhotra murdered a lot of people by pushing the injections.</i>

Sage, do you have a list of the names of his victims, or are you just speculating?

It could be argued, and very probably is argued in some establishment quarters that Malhotra murdered a lot of people by claiming on TV that the injections were potentially deadly, thereby sowing doubt in the minds of the general public about the wisdom of taking that third or forth booster. I can imagine this kind of claim doing the rounds at the BBC canteen among other places. And by the same token, it has probably been argued by people of the same outlook that he murdered a lot of people by discouraging them from taking statins.

But I doubt if they have a list of Malhotra's victims, and even if they could assemble one, it would be difficult to prove that they died because they listened to his advice rather than to one of the thousands of other talking heads that have expounded on the same subject, or to a voice in their own head, or because they rolled a dice, or because they had been programmed since childhood to trust the medical industry, so it would probably never stand up in court.

I hadn't thought about Malhotra's situation very much until you brought him up on your own Substack, and after that I considered your accusation against him and came to the conclusion that in the absence of evidence beyond reasonable doubt, I could not find him not guilty of murder.

I freely admit to being neither the sharpest pencil in the pencil case nor the brightest candle in the chandelier. But I'm smart enough to know that an accusation of murder needs to be backed by evidence or there is no need to consider it. The thought occurred to me that perhaps you were not intending to seriously accuse Dr. Malhotra of murder but were doing so rhetorically as a "flaming" device (to try to get a reaction out of AMD), much as members of the "woke" community are apt throw out accusations of "racism", "transphobia", "white supremacism" and the like.

I'm probably going to regret posting this, but here goes.

This reflects my philosophy on the issue of conspiracy thinking almost precisely. As someone who questions everything, I have often experienced this phenomenon in the presence of big "C" Conspiracy theorists: "So, when individuals threaten this rare object by debunking the coveted knowledge, they are attacked by those who covet it." This is not an attitude conducive to finding truth. This is an attitude attuned to upholding dogma, evidence be damned. It is an attitude nearly identical to that of the Covidians, who similarly respond with visceral, evidence-free attacks on anyone who questions their coveted mainstream dogma. These are two sides of the same coin.

To find truth, one must be willing to interrogate all beliefs and incorporate all credible evidence into our understanding. To close oneself off to all other possibilities based on the merest scintilla of evidence, or in some cases based only on raw speculation while ignoring all the contradictory evidence, is a recipe for wrongness.

There are conspiracies. Lots of them. Many of our leaders are psychopaths, narcissists, and machiavelians. We should absolutely expend effort investigating and exposing their misdeeds. But we must also consider contradictory evidence and remain open to other possibilities unless and until a certain theory has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. And even then we must consider new contradictory evidence that comes to light.

Open-minded inquiry is the path to truth, inner-peace, and effective action. Close-minded dogmatism is the path to untruth, fanaticism, outrage, and even mental illness. May we all be well and prosperous in our sense-making journeys.

I completely agree and I probably should have added that power structures typically select for the most sociopathic individuals to rise to the top.

At the core level, humans are very similar, so I think its always important to understand the underlying factors motivating their behavior rather than just focusing on you disagreeing with the specific actions they have.

Expand full comment

The problem with the grander big “C” Conspiracy theories is not that they overestimate the capacity for evil at the upper echelons of society. Rather, the problem is that they overestimate competence.

Expand full comment

Humans are very limited, if not by competence than in other ways. There is also pressure in systems headed by sociopaths to fear the competent ones (who likely have a conscience too since those traits are correlated).

Thus there is a chance for non-sociopaths to compete by picking-up that leftover talent that can't fit into the corrupted status quo. Although this happens throughout history it's relatively rare in the modern world and Big C conspiracies are growing. This is paradoxical since humans operate on incentives and there are a lot more incentives for good people to cooperate than for evil people.

But the explanation is simple: there are highly competent and long-lived entities at work to corrupt every human alive. These are the demons, satan is their master and God is their ultimate enemy. They are able to coordinate the actions of sociopathic narcissists who otherwise would be keeping each other in check.

Now you never have to research any Big C theories again!

"power structures typically select for the most sociopathic individuals to rise to the top." Totally! And - families of eugenicists notwithstanding- what really helps with this is when you have so many world leaders who all graduate from the same indoctrinating institution whose goal it is to rule the planet! :)

"To find truth, one must be willing to interrogate all beliefs and incorporate all credible evidence into our understanding."

I believe a prerequisite for that is humility; something that appears sorely lacking in our society.

Expand full comment

Absolutely!

Expand full comment

And I think humility is lacking because of the huge amount of insecurity, leading us to latch onto ideas that give us a semblance of having some control over the external world. We can't let go of these ideas because that would let the pain of insecurity back in, so we have to give the impression we have knowledge beyond doubt - hence the appearance of a lack of humility. It all comes from fear, I think.

Nod, so true. All it takes is two people agreeing towards an outcome that is lawless is a conspiracy.

Expand full comment

So learning about a conspiracy theory always comes in pieces or waves, never all at once. And none of us discovering them are insiders, so we cannot know the full picture for some time. It is this set of facts that requires me to always consider if new information changes the theory or it's probability of being true. On huge conspiracies, it takes years and decades to find enough facts to have high confidence in the accuracy. And sometimes, new facts shed new light on the complete truth.

Biggest key to me is to realize OUR elite is no different from those that lead and destroyed so many other civilizations. Human nature drives actions. Nice to believe the propaganda about America being better, but is THIS group of leaders better? Clearly not, at least in my adult lifetime.

Expand full comment

I am guessing that you are American. "OUR elite is no different from those that lead and destroyed so many other civilizations." If you are referring to the GLOBAL cabal that is seeking to control humanity, reduce us all to controlled (injected/vaccinated) serfs, then I have to disagree. The trouble - in my experience - with many Americans is that they only consider the USA, which is vast, I agree, and a wonderful country in many ways. But this, modern Elite has a Global reach and has so many advantages that previous ones did not: Technology, a global telecoms system which uses deadly man-made EMR that is destroying us and all life on the planet, a global population the majority of which is almost enslaved to using trackable video/audio-mobile communications devices (smartphones) - especially the younger generation, heads of government in so many countries that have all been indoctrinated (over decades) by this elite. I could go on. The only ray of hope is that the key advantages they have in terms of global comms/tech are also being used against them - by us, the AWAKE, red-pilled populace. We have a race against time to wake up the "sheep" of the world - to educate them to NOT comply. That is our mission - should we choose to accept it.

I am American. And I actually agree with what you replied 100%. America is a player in the GLOBAL cabal. Zero chance all of the major western gov't across the globe all abandoned medical history and embraced the same tyrannical controls randomly at nearly exactly the same time. So we agree so completely...

The confusion came from my comment about the American elite. I did not clarify that I was referring to the difference between patriotic idealism taught in school and the actions of the leaders in reality. What Americans were taught in school to believe about our leaders for generations was that they were exceptionally great, honorable, and would never do those awful things that go against American principles and that they call out as unacceptable actions by other country's leaders. Starting around 2003, I began to learn of all the colour revolutions and soft coups initiated/sponsored by our "glorious" CIA. And it dawned on me, why would I think they could do such a thing to other countries and not turn on Americans?

So in essence, I was pointing out the propaganda taught versus the reality, not referring at that moment to the exact GLOBAL cabal take over attempt playing out now. My apologies for the confusion.

No worries , thanks for the explanation. "What Americans were taught in school to believe about our leaders for generations was that they were exceptionally great, honorable, and would never do those awful things that go against American principles and that they call out as unacceptable actions by other country's leaders." Perhaps you are taught this in school because America won its war of independence from a tyrannical power led by a Royal regime, consequently all its causes thereafter are (in theory) democratic and all its democratically elected leaders are thus heroes. As such, America feels it has the duty to take on the mantle (or right) to defend everybody else from tyranny. As a result of the US's role in WW2 that "duty: seems to have gone into overdrive, but at the same time it took in a lot of really bad actors fleeing Nazi Germany, absorbed them into obscurity, whilst at the same time using their skills and knowledge to advance its own agenda. That's not a particularly good recipe for altruism. Also, children were *probably* subsequently taught that America saved the world from the Nazis - when in fact they only joined the war at the last minute due to Pearl Harbour, after all the other Allies had been fighting for years - it's taught slightly differently in the UK :-)

Anyway, as we know, in reality things are not exactly as they are taught in school! And as we are beginning to realise, democracy is an idealized state that must be fought for constantly , as there will always be tyrants - everywhere - trying to destroy it.

I should like to correct something I said, but cant edit it. The US did not join WW2 "at the last minute" Dec 1941 is hardly the last minute - not even half-way. I think I was echoing my father's words ( and he was probably echoing his father's) since the Americans stationed in the UK whilst welcomed by many British women, were -unsurprisingly - not too popular with British men!

For many years I have noticed that the trap a lot of people fall into is that they ego identify with an idea. Instead of just holding an idea or considering the finer points of an idea, (I don’t like the word conspiracy), they take on ideas as part of their very identity, which is a terrible mistake. We are NOT our ideas, we are much more than our current understanding of how the world works or our current coveted ideas or concepts.

You can eat a vegan or carnivore diet or vote for Democrats or Republicans but it’s a trap to say “I AM a vegan, or carnivore or I AM a Democrat or Republican.”. When we identify with ideas too much it makes it hard for us to take in new information or to consider a different view because it’s threatening to the ego. The political parties use this ego identification fallacy to great effect to divide us up into fighting tribes.

Expand full comment

I think that tendency is a reflection of the fact the current society has taken away a lot of the connections (both to ourselves others and our environment) that make us human, and because of this people lack a lot of the meaning that anchors them to reality and they will thus take up things with no intrinsic value (e.g., identifying with an idea) so they can have some type of meaning and purpose in their lives even if it is largely an illusion.

Expand full comment

I agree with you. AND - dare I say it - the same can be said for a person stating that they are a Catholic or a Born-again Christian etc. Such identifiers can be both a badge and a shield, but also a closet or self-imposed prison, where as you say the individual is closed to new ideas.

This is one of the reasons that I have always disapproved of orthodox religions. I feel - that ultimately -they do more harm than good - both to individuals and to society. I often wonder why, on many forms one is asked for one's religion - it is a further method of discrimination, division. (Soon it will be "Are you vaccinated?" "for COVID" being taken for granted , as that is the only one - so far - that matters) On a form, I say "None" , in person, I say I have my own religion ; but why are such things anybody's business?

However, there are people (more-so lately. it seems ) who need to have a label/badge to cling to as they feel that they are lost without it. The horrors of the past 3 years - and the threat of more to come have done one thing that appears to be design-intent by the ruling elite - i.e. to break people; to divide people by any means available and fundamentally to destroy the family unit as a concept ( the current banalities of new laws allowing gender-reassignment of children without parental consent springs to mind as one example).

As more infringements of our freedoms are imposed on us in the next few years (as seems already to be happening) I can see another form of population reduction resulting - that of despair and suicide ( we've already seen an increase during the lockdowns) - and Canada now has the "assisted dying" facility for mentally ill - even children!

If orthodox religions ( I am not talking about those currently spouting Satanism and "End-Times" ) can help some people survive the current madness that we are living through , then I now believe that, while this can restrict thinking, it may be a good thing - at least for now.

P.S. I am more than a little concerned about the power of the Catholic Church and where this might fit in the evolving global agenda!

One of the basic tenants of Christianity is that you are reborn, that you take on an entirely new identity in Christ. That is one reason why historically Christians would take new names after baptism, the new name symbolized their new identity. So it seems to me that religion is different than what the OP mentioned in that it is generally the self labeling of I am a...that leads one to associate their diet or political party of choice as a part of their identity. Religion on the other hand is supposed to be the foundation of your identity, it’s not that people erroneously incorporate an idea into their identity. In Christianity (and more so in Islam) your religion is the very bedrock of your identity. From a Christian perspective you may be right that attaching identity to a specific denomination or theological school may not be wise. But as a Christian your identity must be based on your relationship with God. Saying “I am a Republican” or “I am a vegan” is a bug in the system, saying “I am a Christian” is the feature the entire system is built around.

Well said. To be reborn is an identity--child of God.

Expand full comment

I understand what you are saying, but it is still a label of sorts. There are probably Vegans who feel the same. And what "entire system" are you referring to?

Personally, I am a Human Being (Homo Sapiens, Sapiens) - which implies sentient animal of planet Earth and that - nothing more - is MY relationship to the creator of the Universe. A Religion is a belief systems on top of that.

The fact that I am also Welsh (Celtic) plays a part in my identity and heritage, but I am completely aware that it is window-dressing on top of my humanity. All humans on this planet belong to the same species ( "club"). We (should) all have the same rights, regardless of our window-dressing.

Expand full comment

By the system I mean the entire system of Christianity and the various social systems that have risen from Christian thought and philosophy. Even more than that God created people in His image for the purpose of relationship with Him. He created us with individual identities that by design are to be built with Him as their foundation.

Kay put it beautifully, all humans are made in the image of God and that is exactly why all humans are precious and matter equally. Any orthodox Christian would agree with you that we all deserve the same rights, we might just disagree on what rights are or where they come from.

You say that you are a human being and that is your entire relationship with the creator of the universe. As such you are missing the opportunity to be a child of God and to walk in close relationship with Him on a daily basis. We are separated from God by a chasm of our own sin. It is only the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus that can bridge that chasm. Accepting Jesus as Lord of our lives and surrendering our old identities for new ones in him is the only way to cross that bridge.

Why settle? Why settle for being an image bearer of God when you can be a child of God? Because you are settling for less. There is nothing that compares to walking through this life with Jesus. Two thousand years ago the Apostle Paul wrote “I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ.” It was true 2000 years ago and it’s true today. Do yourself a favor and stop settling.

I am not "settling" for anything. I am proud and thankful and honoured to be a human being and I don't need and have never wanted "to be a child of God and to walk in close relationship with Him on a daily basis." You are preaching. You will get nowhere with me.

I don't believe in the "God" that you believe in - it is a human construct. I don't believe in or want ANY religion that puts human animals above all other animal species on this planet (sentient or one day to become so - who knows) who have just as much right to be here as we do. AND with which we share approx 96% of our DNA. They are my kin, just as much as homo sapiens is. The creator of the Universe created ALL life everywhere to be precious and revered, not just Christians on planet Earth.

One of the things I believe, as a Christian, is the incredible value of every human being. Every one of us is made in the image of God and is loved by God. I don’t live that out perfectly by any means, but I’m in the process of training myself, when people annoy me, to remember that fact.

Those who believe Christianity believe it says true things about what and who human beings are, how we have behaved toward the God who made the world and us, and what God has done through Jesus to reconcile us to Himself. That is why calling oneself a Christian isn’t a label but is a statement of acceptance that what God has said in the Bible is true.

It's very easy for some people to say "Just don't have a religion, ideology, group identity! It works for me!" That doesn't work for 99 percent of humans though. I thought it would work for me most of my life and didn't realize I was just building my own mini-religion. When I found the Orthodox Church it all made sense: humanity is actually here for a reason and we don't have to understand that purpose in order to fulfill it. The path to "understanding" God is a way of life not an intellectual exercise. The Roman Catholics (the first Protestants) have twisted the faith so severely though it's hardly recognizeable.

Yes, it’s history repeating and repeating....time to learn from history.

Expand full comment

Almost anyone with a logical and determined mind, and especially a palpable need and a practical means, can learn philosophically from history and follow (late 19th- to early 20th-century, Harvard Philosophy Professor) George Santayana's sage advice. (He actually used the verb "remember," rather than "learn".) Anway, it's good, I think, in this terrifying time to keep the following considerations in mind:

1) Is the process of reading, prioritizing, understanding, interpreting, summarizing, and regurgitating such material, satisfactorily to very well, on an essay-style college exam, hopefully to be analogously applied years later to some then-current or future, contextually similar set of facts and circumstances, and then never thinking about the principle again, never again recognizing it, let alone stopping the big mistake's recurrence and damaging people and their institutions all over again -- ie, failing to remember what was earlier, formally once learned as an academic lesson and remembered appropriately years later -- is this, seemingly futile process still culturally adequate and potentially integral to the critical, recycled task at hand?

2) Is the present and increasing cultural tendency to silo all learning after the academy years-- where, say, a relevant, philosophical-historical principle, such as Santayana's, is maybe, just maybe handed over by a well-resourced global business to isolated specialists to study and evaluate, back at the academy, and not allowed by non-philosophical-historical specialists, but those with ample interest, common sense, and the requisite good faith and practical competence to reinsert, reevaluate, and reconsider, in light of current, business-impacting events, to prevent the same, big mistake from recurring and affecting their business, their people, their political party and the next election, whose desired outcome is key to their ongoing, global business success? the very survival of their country's "democracy"? and even the security and well-being of each principal's family members?

3) Is this scenario, replayed over and over in executive, decision-making board rooms countrywide ever understood via case study, and does it really matter in relation to next quarter's -- and the next and the next's -- stock value, especially to a bonus-based CFO or CEO's yearly salary?

4) Will the process of "remembering" huge, past, policy mistakes even be possible in light of our new, cultural elite/Dem-Leftist neo-Marxists' traditional, institutional tendency -- active, operational, and quite effective since Lenin's Bolshevism -- to conveniently rewrite and effectively alter or even erase the salient facts and circumstances of relevant history; and, more basically, with an eye toward controlling the future masses and an equally foolish zeal and mistaken aplomb, change the accepted definition of words (and in so doing, believe the masses will understand a "change" in a related, underlying reality), including established, long-used terms, introduced, say, by clinical science and understood well by the related procedure-following members of the public -- does the recently quite-evolved, CDC/FDA-listed term "vaccine" come to mind?

5) And finally, in this era's focus on abolishing the rule by law, along with several other established, liberty and justice-preserving, legal institutions, by means of political malfeasance, treachery, even treason; of mass theft from the public treasury to political supporters via wholly unlawful, unconstitutional, "creative bookkeeping"; of all-too commonplace, outright lying; and of hired, unaccountable, arrest-resisting, prosecution-forgone, patently criminal, Nazi SA-like physical force and intimidation -- in this unforgiving, grossly tyrannical and rights-denying, Bizarro-World-like climate, is "remembering the mistakes of history" even worth the good and noble, patriotic effort in light of a reasonably, realistically determined risk of cancellation of one's livelihood, one's well-being and that of his or her family's, even one's life?

Some thoughts are worth reflecting on. Prudence, practical wisdom, is sometimes a vital consideration, however most sadly and tragically, that is.

Have you written about them ? Do you think people who are clueless about the relevant tyrannies like the IHR, and CBDC stand a chance at stopping what is moving like a juggernaut through our basic human rights, basic human freedoms , and our human IDENTITY.

Nietzsche said many years ago " god is dead"

Facts show now, after seeing the lies and bullshit those like you fed us in order to trick us into toxic injections?

"science is dead", And a couple editors from medical journals agree with that statement to some degree.

Your promulgated statistical stupidity, is part of that.

I see you mope, for what you are.

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as editor of The New England Journal of Medicine”

Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, wrote that “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness”

And our new gods will be men with needles. Life and death. Coming down to what shot you are forced to take.

shame on you, if you are even a person.

Yup, I thank covid for enhancing my now highly improved ability to bite my tongue. ; )

I lost that ability some time ago.

Had to re-learn it too.

Midwest Doc I think I'm just like you - skeptical of "crazy" conspiracy theories but at the same time open to them. After all, we've seen time and again that NOTHING is too crazy or evil for some corporate or government official to attempt. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being that sane voice with the passion and means to vet those theories and assign informed probabilities on which to take seriously and which really are too far-out to be likely.

Thank you!

I have a theory about the "microchipping the people via mRNA jabs" theory. The Astra Zeneca jab used (uses) a chimpanzee (chimp) adenovirus as the vector. I read a long time ago that the media were reporting this as a chip, not a chimp, likely through a simple typo or other stupidity. So that's why people thought they were being injected with chips.

I feel like you completely outdid my entire post with this comment.

lol ...still laughing! I very much appreciate the time you took to express your thought process and read and share every one of your substacks.

Expand full comment

LOL, nope! So much of your post is about processing the theories and facts and our human tendencies, not about any particular theory's explanation.

Big picture, doc. Stick with that. You are uniquely talented to help us understand ourselves on this journey.

Nah. The ideas about coveting an idea is very useful, as is the discussion about holding uncertainty with relative comfort.

Expand full comment

that didnt take much did it, considering you babbled ignorance as knowledge. You and Tyson should get together and babble about scientific consensus while you are at it.

What do you gain by making such a rude comment?

A M D spent likely hours writing out various thoughts and hypotheses and then relating his rationale for or against them in order to EXPAND critical thinking for his readers. He isn't telling you WHAT to think, he is teaching you HOW to think if you can get past yourself and look at the bigger picture.

You bring nothing to the discussion by doing this. Nothing.

And any person, who defends the thought thaT TESTING 100 vials of anything, determines the contents of 13 billions vials that were not tested, is an idiot.

So you can agree with idiocy all you want. Just makes you an idiot.

Expand full comment

Well if you feel that way should do Mass spec on a lot more vials to disprove him. What Cole provided is the best possible evidence we have on this subject, and throwing a fit about it because he should have tested more vials does not suddenly discount his evidence and make you suddenly have the best available evidence.

So, I suppose that means you don’t believe in sampling (e.g., opinion polls, quality control lot samples, etc) or statistical process control, etc.

Expand full comment

I think you calling these scientists and doctors idiots is really lame. These vials are property of DOD and they risked a lot just to get the samples. People are trying to make sense of things with the little bits that they have to work with. At the very least they deserve respect for the work and hours they put in UNPAID I might add
