The entire worldview and world order of the educated, professional class is defined by allegiance to that system that bestows upon them this identity of being "an important person in society." They have no sense of humanity or dignity. Most of these trained professionals are sociopaths. They would turn on their family before giving up their careers and that sense of imperious self worth that that identity gives them.

If you try to turn that world order upside down they will turn on you quite quickly and viciously. Until that point they will appear to be 'nice' as that order demands.

I think there are substantial numbers, especially in the professional class, that are haunted by what they have done not only to themselves but also to their children. They can never admit this openly as it threatens their bloated egos and their standing in their social circles. They would rather nosedive the plane into the ground than admit they were wrong , especially on something of this magnitude, even if their kids are in tow.

Would these people inject themselves and their children (and everyone around them if they could) with an experimental neurotixn produced by a serial felon if their careers and egos depended on it?

Now that's a weighty question and if we asked these very same people that question 5 years ago they would have scoffed at you and resoundingly replied, "No."

Yet here we are, no longer in the world of the hypothetical- the answer is there for all to see.

I’m saving this one cause it’s soooo good!!! I was one of those who knew from the start this was all bullshit. I don’t know how I knew, but I did. My mistrust of government perhaps? The years and years I lived in the swamp? (DC)! Cause I’m not a sheep? Geez I worry about how we will turn this around. Maybe we won’t! I will rest well though, knowing I am not an idiot.

The celebrities you mentioned all get paid very well to continue the scam narrative- they will continue as long as their handlers demand it. This scam is but a part of their plan to weaken this country- cutting the legs of freedom and individuality right out from under us. I say that because America is the last bastion against tyranny and socialism- though our defenses have been greatly diminished, our morality slowly destroyed. This Covidmania is just part of their plan- something else is around the corner with the same objective- weaken the peoples resolve and expand the fear narrative.

Mark- you mentioned the damage from the injections-excess mortality and other medical conditions that occur in much greater proportions than 3 years ago. Yet most of this is not being reported in the MSM- people have to dig to know the truth. But most people don't care to use the shovel.

The old America is broken- how do we fix it? I don't know- but dadgum it, I'm gonna keep trying to do my part. Keep em coming, Mark! And Merry Christmas to you and your family!

“Oprah was so certain that the virus was dangerous that she “literally” confined herself in her house for 322 days. After vaxxing, she “felt [such] an overwhelming sense of relief” that she “wanted to cry.”

The fear and anxiety was so great in these people, they would have done anything for relief. I told someone they would have eaten a plate of dog shit if experts told them to. So they convinced themselves the shot was the magic bullet, just so they could trick themselves into a less heightened state of discomfort.

Then the dust settles and they know what they did. So they dig their heels in for 2 reasons IMO- they don’t want that fear back and they’re embarrassed over the way they handled themselves under difficult circumstances. That way they can reframe their decision as “smart” instead of panicky, irrational, and hysterical.

Thank you Mark for an excellent article, as always. You were spot on with every sentence!! These past couple of years bore no semblance to anything reasonable, with no common sense. I didn’t fall for any of it. I’m 73 and will never get this fake vaccine. Starting last year no longer getting the flu shot either. I’ve lost all faith in any of these vaccines.

Over the holiday I had to listen to MIL explain that since she (and FIL) had Covid recently (after 4 shots!), they have to wait until January to get the bivalent shot. :o

Incidentally, they are Fox news watching conservative Catholics.

Mark, It always makes my day when I see your name in my Inbox. This piece is exceptionally lucid...Really nothing much to add directly on topic (I usually think of something) because it is so well said.

Those who would like to move in with Oprah for 322 days (I know, you really just want her house) reminded me that (a long time ago) I once had the distinct displeasure of sitting next to her on a lengthy airplane flight. i know many people in many venues, and she is easily the most self-important person I have ever met. She made a point of making that excruciatingly clear to everyone -- especially those of us who really couldn't care less. It got so unpleasant it was actually funny. That made her act out even more. I have sat next to lots of people who actually ARE important who were not 5% as obnoxious. So consider carefully how you would like to spend 322 days...lol.

Thanks for continuing to turn out these pieces. As I have feared since Spring of 2020, people are now trying to forget this whole thing as rapidly as they can. The real divide is now emerging between those that want "justice" of some sort (or at least self-recognition) for the stupidity and those who have already "forgotten" they were stupid...if they ever knew. I believe this will, for 20% of folks, be a permanently unbreachable divide that will cause endless complications and dissatisfaction over the next years.

And the positions being taken are becoming increasingly odd. For instance, one of the "good", (inquisitive but not particularly focused on this debacle) docs I know announced, sort of as an aside, that he had tired of the mask conversations (which I am always pressing because they are the most obvious) and had concluded that they likely had some de minimus effect for both wearer and wearee. There is no data whatsoever (other than the ridiculous three flawed studies always quoted) to support this and he knows that -- he just decided to arrive at that conclusion and to never think about it again. It allows him to have no strong recommendations and to feel equally good about everyone/everything -- but completely obviates dealing with all of the fundamentals.

This entire area of "being done with this" irrespective of personal degree of falsity/rectitude would profit from being considered by you if you are looking for more ideas about which to write. Perhaps you have not seen as much of this as I have yet, but I believe you will. What to do about it (easiest thing is just to forget oneself, but at least I am not capable of doing that) will be an issue for many of us -- your insights are always important to getting through that all.

Thanks for writing -- Makes the world a better place.

Why is it always the Liberals though? In the 60s and 70s they NEVER listened to "authority" and questioned EVERYTHING!! Flip-a-roo!

“The self-assured, closed-minded and consistently wrong Mad Mitigators should be permanently discredited, de-platformed and disqualified from holding public office, teaching or voting.”

Yep. I’m sure too, Mark.

Thank you for your writings. I have a few fave Substack authors and you are one of them. God bless you and those you love.

Mark… I subscribe and look forward to your articles as they are refreshing to read and entertaining too. Though we all live in what appears to be clown world 🤡 I am grateful that mentally you are still grounded in reality.

33 mentioned twice in the article? The freemason crowd goes wild!

Oprah is a globalist puppet. She's an actor and she knows it's a scam. She's also one of the cult/club leaders that we don't belong to.

Wish we could show actual images but this one says it all. Her with Gates, Buffet and all her buddies.

Thank you Mark, I agree with your conclusion wholeheartedly. Oprah was the richest women in the US at one time, maybe still. All that 'sweet sweet' money comes with great insulatory value and allegiences to pharma companies, (all investment roads lead there easily, 401K....). Gotta say as well, folks that use lots of pharm based beauty products and synthetic perfumes are already inviting illness, and fear of their own natural bodies. Oprah will go down propping big pharma, I just wonder how long it will take.

This!!

Once people take sides, most people won’t consider logic or facts that contradict what they initially believed. Changing their minds would result in loss of face. Admitting an error damages most peoples’ self-esteem. They lack the strength of character to admit they were wrong.

Perhaps intransigence is biochemically-driven. Perhaps having made up their minds, people avoid the expenditure of any additional mental energy to thinking.

I heard a talk by a doc, can't recall the name at the moment, who said as an evolutionary survival tactic, our brains tend to gravitate towards the easy button to conserve energy, like when we are on auto pilot and drive home and forget to stop at the grocery store. Perhaps that explains the above - that mental laziness is something we have to fight against.

AND your remarks make sense - have spent the better part of this year out knocking doors for candidates who are sanity focused (with mixed results), I have talked to a LOT of people. Most can only spout the platitudes and are not interested in having a reasoned discussion. Although there were some that gave me hope that overcoming the inertia is possible.

LOVE the term “Team Panic.” It describes the nuts perfectly.
