Thank you for both protesting and updating us about it. I'm a Princeton graduate, and it was upon receiving the notification that the Class of '22 had selected Fauci to be their Class Day speaker that I made the pronouncement I was officially DONE being a proud alum and would NEVER give another dime in financial support to this institution of brainwashing and groupthink. I've been disgusted with the U and its policies over the past two years, and in fact helped guide my daughter away from Princeton during her own college application process last year, but that was just the absolute last straw for me. By the way, CDC Director Walensky was also welcomed by the campus a few weeks ago. It's been one heck of a spring at Princeton.
I'm another Princeton graduate who in fact was the Latin salutatorian of my class. And I don't remember how to say much in Latin.
I believed the lies for about a year. I suppose that confirms your low opinion of Princeton grads.
Fauci would have studied Latin for four years in the New York City Jesuit high school from which we both graduated. From there, he went on to study at Holy Cross, a Jesuit college, at which he is likely to have studied more Latin.
I bring up Latin b/c I've heard that it's a grad day tradition to have a speaker give a mock address in Latin that almost no one understands but all laugh at pre-arranged times to impress parents and put on the dog.
I know about two dozen Princeton grads. I went to HS and law school with most of these. Not one is an awesome intellect. Many are "box checkers." And nearly all are PC cultists. I discuss things with them--especially sciences--and they say a lot of things that are just outright incorrect. And only a few have any second language proficiency. No smart human who has witnessed the past 27 months can think Fauci is anything but a charlatan. Yet, they invited and applauded him.
Yes, that is a tradition, and I gave that speech my year.
I've studied a lot of languages myself, both in that high school, at Princeton, and later on, but I can't say I ever achieved fluency in any foreign language.
BTW, earnest Q: why would you believe the lies for a year?
And what did it take to change your mind?
If you scroll my archive, I wrote 3-4 essays about why I knew this was a scam or at best a mistake. One is about caribou. Another is about pelicans. A third is about pranks.
Nor was I paying attention to the news. The CV news has been obviously histrionic since Day 1. But I have a scientific and sociological framework that enabled me to see that this was being badly overblown for political and economic gain.
Plus, I looked at my own large social circle and and saw no one under 80 and healthy dying from this.
Hence, I concluded that this was a scam. I've always been an independent thinker who doesn't care if people like me or not. I don't---and didn't-- go along to get along.
I wrote op-eds calling out the scam in March, 2020 that no paper would publish.
I wrote the following essay in May, 2020. Medium later took my account down. I later tweaked it and put it on Substack. It explains why I knew when other people didn't know. I'm not boasting. It just angers me that so many people were so gullible. The ostensible reasons to lock down etc. simply didn't add up.
When Covid arrived, I was already at least 12 years into my intellectual “re-set” so I knew immediately that everything the public was being told by authorities, experts and the media was almost certainly a lie.
I trace my full “awakening” to Ron Paul’s last presidential bid. I already admired Paul for his small-government ideology and his willingness to stick to contrarian principles, but what really caused me to re-evaluate the world was his criticisms of America’s “interventions” in Iraq and Afghanistan. At one point, I was gung ho that America had to fight these “terrorists” over there, so we didn’t have to fight them in our own country. I bought the narrative that we were “spreading democracy” and these nations were a “threat” to American “national security.”
Thanks to Paul, and my willingness to reconsider previous views, I did an about-face and quickly came to believe that these nations posed zero threat to America and that it was really our own government that was working to take away my “freedoms.”
This intellectual journey eventually caused me to re-asses just about everything I had previously accepted as sacrosanct.
But I was already closer to this intellectual destination than most of my friends. For example, Washington Post and Newsweek columnist Robert J. Samuelson had a tremendous influence on me when he wrote a book with the title, “Untruth: How (Almost All) Conventional Wisdom is Wrong.” (Today, it amazes me that, once upon a time, a columnist for one of the most famous mainstream press journals wrote a book developing such a theme).
John Stossel also influenced me with his libertarian journalism and news specials, segments that always challenged “conventional wisdom.” Stossel of course no longer works for a major TV news network.
By the time Covid arrived, I’d already developed my own theory, “The Law of Opposite Effects.” This maxim tells me that whatever the Powers that Be tell us will happen when the State implements some policy, the opposite result will almost certainly happen.
So when I was told that Covid was a great threat to everyone, I knew it was no threat to most people. When I was told that “vaccines” would prevent infections, I knew they wouldn’t and that the they would, in fact, be very dangerous.
People who think like me are probably 1 in 10,000. In many ways, such a contrarian world view makes one’s life more difficult as you end up disagreeing with just about everyone. You also become certain that some policy that is supposed to help people will actually harm many people. But you feel impotent in preventing this outcome because you know nothing is going to change and that your lonely voice will be dismissed.
As a journalist, I intuitively knew that members of the Fourth Estate should be skeptics, should try to find real truths and should not be afraid of exposing corrupt leaders or “faux narratives.” Alas, I wrote for small papers and rarely did real “investigative journalism.” I wrote simple stories and human interest pieces. It was only a couple of years ago, when I lost my job as a managing editor, that I decided to become a “freelance” journalist and write about the stories that most interested me. As it turned out, the purpose of most of these stories was to debunk or challenge dubious narratives.
Today, it burns me up that my journalism peers at the big corporate news organizations consider such topics to be taboo. It’s frustrating that my articles and commentaries are deemed un-publishable at sites I now believe exist to protect false and harmful narratives.
But I still think the 1 person in 10,000 who is willing to challenge dogma or conventional wisdom is far more important than the 9,999 who are practicing “pack journalism” and have swallowed the GroupThink Kool-Aid.
I also think a few more people have now made a similar intellectual journey as myself. More people are now also questioning things they would never have questioned before. This evolution might not have won them any friends (it probably cost them a few), but these converts might also be influencing other people.
Anyway, I still think it’s a good thing that at least a few people are willing to search for the truth and no longer believe everything they are told. When no contrarians are left to question dubious narratives the world will be a dystopian place.
Concentrated attention is a great way to put it. That's when it got as personal as it gets. I hated the lockdowns and school closures and by fall 2020 I could finally see the NLP being used in our press conferences, but I did not want to see nefarious intent for as long as possible. I wanted it to be panic and dereliction of duty. Actually very similar to my thoughts on 9/11. I didn't credit the inside job theory in a real way until this year. But that didn't stop me from being against all of the obviously idiotic policies. It took me a long time to realize that compliance just made it all worse.
BC grad here - I write the administration, all state legislators, my governor, my mayor and city councilors in Boston on a regular basis. I've been to some protests and they've been poorly attended as well. So now I spend a lot of time writing. Sharing links and papers and studies from credentialed scientists and MDs about the dangers of these horrible experimental genetic injections. I tell them all I want my comments to be part of the public record, that I think they are guilty of malfeasance, and I want to ensure they can't state at a later date that they didn't have better information. Meanwhile, a sophomore at Boston College suffered a stroke after his mandated booster this year. There is a major lawsuit in the works over that one.
Prediction: That lawsuit will be thrown out. They can't lose ONE such case. If they lose one, they are going to lose 100,000 ... and every big organization in the country is going to be bankrupt.
"If they lose one, they are going to lose 100,000 ... and every big organization in the country is going to be bankrupt." 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. But, yes, I'm sure you are right.
Bill, you are probably and tragically right. The case of Hannah Poling is a case study at how government weasels out vaccine induced autism. I couldn't find a comprehensive link to the ins and outs of this case, but its just additional proof of everything that is corrupt with vaccines and the injuries they cause.
The response by Jon Poling (Hannah Poling's father) to the Offit article might be worth considering. The Hannah Poling case has a history where federal prosecutors and VICP program specifically carved out the exception for Hannah Poling otherwise 5,000 autism cases would have to be compensated. How they did it is corruption at its best. Offit falsely assumes that the reduction in antigen units have made vaccines safe. Reduction of the antigen units did reduce the reactigenicity when DTaP replaced the DTP. But the number of vaccines dramatically increased at the same time with their adjuvants and other toxic ingredients.
Vaccines and Autism Revisited
To the Editor
In his Perspective article on a possible connection between vaccines and autism, Offit (May 15 issue)1 speculates about my daughter, Hannah, and repeats inaccuracies from a March New York Times opinion piece that was officially corrected by the Times and our April 5 letter.
By omitting critical information from my March 6, 2008, statement, Offit misrepresents my position. I said, “Many in the autism community and their champions believe that the result in this case may well signify a landmark decision as it pertains to children developing autism following vaccinations. This still remains to be seen, but currently there are almost 5,000 other cases pending.”
Offit's remarks about Hannah's case are not evidence-based. He has no access to my daughter's personal medical records, legal documents, or affidavits. In contrast, physicians from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) who studied this information recommended that the government concede Hannah's case. The clinical history Offit presents contains significant inaccuracies, and the resulting conclusions are consequently flawed.
Offit confuses issues by comparing Hannah's case with unrelated decisions in “vaccine court.” The Office of the Secretary of DHHS, through the Department of Justice, conceded Hannah's case. There was no courtroom hearing and no decision from the “unusual vaccine court.”
Offit is frequently cited regarding the “biologically plausible” theory that simultaneous administration of multiple vaccines is safe. His opinion is unsupported by clinical trials, much less investigations in potentially susceptible subpopulations.
Despite the high frequency of mitochondrial dysfunction in autistic children,2 studies have not established primary or secondary roles. To explore this question, we need an immunization database for children with metabolic disorders to establish safety guidelines3 and improve vaccine safety for minority subgroups of children.
I agree with the statement of Bernadine Healy, former director of the National Institutes of Health, who said, “I don't think you should ever turn your back on any scientific hypothesis because you're afraid of what it might show. . . . If you know that susceptible group, you can save those children. If you turn your back on the notion there is a susceptible group . . . what can I say?”4 Also commendable is the new 5-year research plan of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, which will entail the study of minority subpopulations, including patients with mitochondrial disorders.5
A strong, safe vaccination program is a cornerstone of public health. Misrepresenting Hannah Poling v. HHS to the medical profession does not improve confidence in the immunization program or advance science toward an understanding of how and why regressive encephalopathy with autistic features follows vaccination in susceptible children.
Dr. Poling is the father of Hannah Poling and reports receiving consulting or lecture fees from Pfizer, Eisai, Ortho-McNeil, Biogen, Teva, Immunex, and Allergan. No other potential conflict of interest relevant to this letter was reported.
Thank you for posting that article. What an upsetting read. So this catastrophic increase in autism is just coming from... ? The New England Journal of Medicine can't be bothered writing about that I guess.
Okay I know there aren't enough of us to make a difference, but that's why I loved reading your comment. I had a similar experience with my high school (Punahou School of Barack Obama fame claiming). It is an elitist institution with very high alumni involvement, so while not as prestigious, does engender the same type of milieu. Over the course of 2020 I was in close contact with classmates who were very disappointed in the online learning route the school took, but it got worse with endless school safety updates with photos of kids in masks AND face shields (my kids in the netherlands never wore masks except on the airplane, which incidentally, no one was interested in hearing about, though I thought that was the point of having a globe spanning alumni network). Then in the summer of 2021 on the heels of a statewide vax pass system, they announced a return to in person alumni events, but on condition of vaccination. This is after it was quite clear that it didn't stop spread. I wrote my first and last nuclear email to the school hating on my alma mater so hard I won't ever live it down. I laid it all out, including how classmates had unfriended me on SM over this and how pathetic a legacy all this elitism founded. No critical thinking and certainly no empathy, core tenets of the school's mission. I asked to be removed from their lists (which I know all about because I helped add anyone and everyone to those lists to try and up involvement and cash) and I will never donate to their failed cause again. Those classmates have been the absolute worst group-thinkers and bullies in my life. Good riddance. Never been so happy my hubby put his foot down and made us return to the Netherlands after living in Hawaii for three years. It was always my dream my kids would be third generation graduates, but honestly the writing was on the wall years ago and he made the right call.
Yes, many many times. Protesters were also beaten and some rioters were even shot! But the worst was having dogs sicced on us. Not at any of the protests, I attended, but at a few others. amnesty international got involved. Some very upsetting images are floating around. CJ Hopkins used them to good effect in a couple memes. The reason I say it is the worst is because it is so viscerally violent and scary. So primitive. This country is unrecognizable. Democratic rule of law is dead. But I have learned from talking to people who lived through horrors, including the nazi occupation of Amsterdam, that life simply goes on, one way or another. We show up and do what we can, but other than that we must live.
Good work Mark, getting out there for real and expressing the truth.
There are a lot of rehashed points here but I thought it was instructive to list them all in one message. The reason is that I think each is individually worthy of a whole lot more attention than it has had or will get. But together it represents an unassailable mountain of evidence for a terrible wrong.
If you’re going to throw around an extraordinary accusation (I am doing, eugenics) then you’re going to need extraordinary evidence. We have it.
Suggesting that there are people with a eugenics agenda in positions of power and influence is quite a claim but undeniably true. Both Gates and his father are on public record arguing that the planet is unsustainable in terms of energy and resource with the current population. Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset agenda, along with many other spokespeople for the WEF, involves a monumental shift in resource consumption away from “useless eaters”. The Rockefellers have been long time promoters of eugenics.
Now let’s look at the entire Covid phenomenon point by point, and this isn’t exhaustive.
its origin, a Chinese market that happens to be in the same city as a BSL-4 virology lab
lab leak denials, now accepted

the statistics showing that treatment mandated areas suffering significantly more than non-mandated areas
the allocation of hospital resources for Covid contingency, not used but treatments for known diseases not provided
the known side effects
the continued drive to inject people despite the lack of immunisation/transmission control
the continued drive to inject people despite the known dangers
the censorship and cancellation of dissenting voices and demonisation of qualified professionals
the legal immunity provided to big pharmaceutical companies

the downward revision in WHO guidance on PCR test CT count protocol after vaccination programmes commenced
the March 2021 exercise for a monkeypox pandemic beginning in May 15 2022
the drive to authorise use in children with zero risk profile
These are just off the top of my head, there are more issues.
There are too many compelling reasons for challenging the global policy surrounding Covid. Each of the above points on their own are enough to pause and reconsider. Taken together they are definitive evidence of an alternative agenda.
So I ask you, if the agenda is not eugenics, a monumental reduction in human population, what is it?
To pretend that it isn’t this on the basis that it is too difficult and dreadful to contemplate is to deny the reality of the above. What alternative explanation is there? I genuinely cannot think of anything other than population control and reduction as a rationale for the unprecedented policies enacted over the last two years. I wish I could.
And now the 14 month ago predicted arrival of monkeypox with quarantining already underway. At exactly the same time, this week, that the WHO is voting to take away the right of sovereign states to manage their own “health emergencies”.
And all of this is happening with unprecedented global supply chain, energy and food production crises, debt, inflation, a non-trivial avoidable war, a looming war in China, headlong rush to impose CBDCs, ongoing climate change alarmism and a WEF program called The Great Reset.
Tell me where this argument fails. I hope I’m wrong.
People who use IVF select embryos that appear more vital and pass various genetic screenings. Others buy sperm and eggs from those with characteristics they shop for.
What an amazing post👍🏻- it’s exhausting reading all the points but as you point out, just 1 of them should be ‘cause to pause’ so it begs the huge question of why?…..and Eugenics can be the ONLY answer
I wish we could say your argument was lacking, God do I wish we could! Unfortunately, this is the sick truth of the world we currently live in. I spent most of my life naively believing that because I cared about people, others also must care about people. I had no idea such evil existed. My whole being has been shattered by the realization that so many people not only don't care about others, but that they can be bought, and that their thirst for power is unquenchable. I knew people could be mean, selfish, narcissistic, etc but I truly had no idea they could be this level of evil. Worse, I don't know how we fix this😭
Hitler, Stalin and their ilk are not the surprise. It has been all the friends and family I had thought were intelligent, rational, moral people whose values and character would never allow them to support such evil. And yet, so many, sadly it seems most, have. There are so many friends I had respected, even admired, for whom I'll never be able to feel the same way, even if they eventually wake up. Gut wrenching is exactly the experience. And yes, good does exist as well, and I've met many truly fine people as a result of this, which gives me hope.
Martha, same, well similar. There are ‘intelligent’ people I always respected who hold a different view to me. We have agreed to differ. There are idiots who don’t share my views, it’s not worth trying to propose an alternative one. There are intelligent people who have lived so long believing in a benevolent state and media who I will never convince otherwise. I don’t want to lose them as friends but I won’t compromise my beliefs to keep the peace. We reach an amicable disagreement. And there are those who want to believe me. They go along with my arguments but I know they revert to the ‘safety’ of what they think is majority opinion. That is the madness of crowds, and I think part of the mass psychosis phenomenon.
I am constantly amazed at how emotionally involved people can be in seemingly objective opinions and positions. The only people I care deeply enough about to want to persuade are close friends and family. Outside of this small group, agree with me or disagree, I don’t care, at least on a personal level. I care a lot more on a societal level like I believe most people subscribed to substacks do. Stay calm, stay happy.
It's like a freaking sci-fi movie! Also, now Pfizer is trying to dismiss the Lawsuit against them by whistleblower Brooke Jackson.
"In the “Background” section of its Motion to Dismiss, here’s exactly what Pfizer argued:
Because of pandemic-related exigencies, the agreement was not a standard federal procurement contract, but rather a ‘prototype’ agreement executed pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2371b[.] … The [contract’s Statement of Work] describes a ‘large scale vaccine manufacturing demonstration’ that imposes no requirements relating to Good Clinical Practices (‘GCP’) or related FDA regulations."
Holy shit! They are admitting their crap "vaccine" is a protype, a demonstration. And yet, it's ok to give that to the entire population???
I got this info from excellent attorney Jeff Childers' Coffee & Covid log. He even provided a link to Pfizer's Motion to Dismiss.
Not just GIVE it but FORCE it! And our “betters” are threatening more masks, lockdowns, “new” “vaccines” & more boosters!
There has GOT to a reckoning for EVERYONE that has been in on this diabolical scheme, from the very top (“experts”, politicians, pharm manufacturers) to any doctor who lied & pushed this on their patients.
Maybe it’s about population reduction ... but if it was I’d think that covid would have been a lot deadlier. It just wasn’t a danger to the general population. Maybe it was engineered to only kill the most “useless” people, but I don’t see any evidence we experienced anything more than common upper respiratory illness these past two years.
I tend to think this is about destroying the human spirit. It’s about making people dependent on the state for everything, but especially for their world view. I didn’t know anyone who died physically but I know many people who died intellectually, spiritually and morally. They were told there was a deadly virus and they believed it despite no evidence in their lives.
The message is “you can’t trust yourself, you can only trust us”
The vaccine was a test. Just how far will you go to comply? The messaging deputized people so they shunned old friends or fired good workers who didn’t comply.
It’s all about making the population docile and easy to control IMO.
Just my thoughts. Could be about eugenics but then they’d only be killing the most obedient with vaccines ....
You are right....this was a test, and a large majority of the world passed it with flying colours. I think even they ( the planners and instigators) were so surprised at how easy it was. The dumbing down of society has been going on for the last several decades...I see it in the children I teach. They are mostly followers; once in a while, a strong individual stands out. But they are so few. God help us all!
I think it was more about finally they had a "novel" virus they could stir up fear with, using a bogus PCR test, to get the whole world begging for a totally new type of "vaccine" never used before. In the meantime destroying economies and restructuring societies in ways they had planned for awhile but didn't know how to implement them all at once. They needed the western world as compliant as the Chinese, and we're just about there.
I can absolutely agree w/ the whole thing as a demoralization project, but I think the overall mildness of the plandemic was a test run to see how compliant people would be, & they have been plenty compliant, globally. But also to condition - if sheeple went “all in” for something overall quite benign, bought the lies & about-turns w/out thinking, think what the sheeple will do & believe w/ anything more dangerous.
I think it was a programming exercise to see just how easily and quickly the masses could be brainwashed into compliance- they couldn’t have a too deadly ‘virus’ as I think the conditioning was the aim in preparation for all the other shite that came down the pipe in the form of the superstitious claptrap called Convid measures including the biggie of the Jab passport as that’s the end goal- digital identity.
I love your reasoning but a dangerous sickness would be dangerous to everyone! Means to the perpetrators also! That is dangerous! A forced vaccination is a different kind of trick as the perpetrators can control how many poison go out and to who. Much more deliberate and controllable.
Vxi7, in the alternative, these past 2+ years may have advanced the ball far enough down the totalitarian field that it will be impossible to stop the NWO & all of the very bad things that will mean….
This is a great list/summary of "false narratives." But there's one that hardly anyone is talking about - the origination date of when this virus began to spread around the world is off by weeks if not months. The "timeline" is completely wrong .... and all serious investigations should start with an accurate timeline of important events.
I actually believe it was circulating at least by summer 2019, which means millions if not billions had been exposed & acquired natural immunity 6+ months before lockdowns/ distancing/masks/vax.
A commentator some months ago linked to 2 articles in June 2019 about a mystery illness & deaths in a nursing home in 1 state & mystery illness @ a military base in a different state. But I’m too dumb to know how to paste them over here!
My research and my own reporting also lead me to conclude that MILLIONS of Americans had been exposed to this virus by December 2019. The mayor of Belleville, NJ was sick with Covid symptoms around Nov. 20th, 2019 and later tested positive for Covid antibodies two times. He reports that several people were sick at the same conference where he first had symptoms. If he did have Covid, someone else gave it to him so my conclusion (which I am pretty sure is logical) is that the virus was already spreading in NJ by mid-November if not earlier. At least 16 other people in at least four other states also were sick in November or December and also later tested positive for antibodies. If this virus is as contagious as we know it is, millions of people had been infected in America. To me, this is the only explanation that would explain how this virus had infected so many people in these geographically-dispersed states (A belated study of Red Cross archived blood further supports this "early spread" hypothesis). Your take-away is the same as mine: Why the lockdowns and NPIs starting March 15, 2020 if millions of Americans had already been infected three or four months before this? Frankly, I don't understand why this isn't a major and scandalous story ... or maybe I do. You might be interested in this article I wrote on this topic. It was ignored by the national press, but of course it would be.
Bill Rice, I think it is because it was & is never about public health, it’s about control, depopulation, great reset, etc.
And it wouldn’t only have been millions just in the US. Think of the global travel going everywhere (including into & out of China) all through 2019. Acquired immunity was EVERYWHERE (IMO).
I also echo your point on all the people who had already acquired "natural immunity." For what it's worth, I think I am one of these (probably) millions of people. I was sick with all the Covid symptoms in January 2020. I went to the doctor and tested negative for influenza so I can rule out the flu for my illness. Perhaps significantly, I have never contacted COVID since ... and I have had two PCR tests. I've posted elsewhere that this large group of possible "early" Covid people should be studied to see what percentage of us (compared to the rest of the population) later contracted "confirmed" Covid. I believe the vaccine push might have been harpooned if officials acknowledged that so many people already had natural immunity. These people definitely have a strong incentive to cover-up early spread IMO.
Knew a # of people pretty sick w/ mystery illnesses in Fall 2019. I had what I thought was a bad bronchitis in Feb 2020, did not see a doc so nothing confirmed (& there wasn’t testing yet), just rode it out but it lasted 2-3 weeks. I did have confirmed “Covid pneumonia” in Dec 2021 & it was pretty rough (every symptom in the book & on home 02 for 15 days) but I managed to stay out of the hospital, thank God.
Anyway, check out those articles I sent & let us know what you think
Hi Bill, I'm enjoying your posts here. You ask " Why the lockdowns and NPIs starting March 15, 2020 if millions of Americans had already been infected three or four months before this?" I have pondered this for 2 1/2 years. I don't think it had anything to do with the virus per se.
In late Feb 2020 I went to the airport in Melbourne Australia for a flight to Honolulu in the early afternoon. The terminal was deserted. There was one ticket agent in the entire cavernous space, and no other customer besides my husband and myself. The agent told us that most agents had been furloughed because hardly anyone was flying. She said the saddest part was watching the food vendors prep meals for all the anticipated travelers, and then throw it all away at the end of the day because there was no one there to eat it.
We returned home to PA in early March. I was informed by the owners of the two yoga studios where I taught that attendance at class had dropped so drastically that they were going to close, since it was not worth the cost of keeping the space open when no one was coming.
Then on the weekend before the lockdown we went to a very upscale restaurant in a high end town square style shopping mall. The huge restaurant had only one other couple there for the two hours we were there.
We remarked on all the expensive sushi that would never get eaten.
We walked around the outdoor mall and it was a ghost town. No other people out and about. The waitstaff at Red Robin was standing at the bar with no customers in the place. Same at every other eatery. The movie theater was deserted.
I believe the lockdowns happened when they did because most people had already locked themselves down and businesses were already feeling the pain. This showed TPTB that the fear campaign was working, people would comply, so then we got 2 weeks to flatten the curve, and everything that followed. They did it because they could.
Those are specific and excellent details. I hadn't thought about that. I just read the Red Dawn emails that were published by the NY Times and then the Brownstone Institute. I found these very interesting. They show us what the "experts" were writing to each other in the weeks leading up to the lockdowns. What strikes me the most about all these emails is that nobody considered the possibility the virus was already spreading.
Bill, IDK how to copy/paste links but I have article info as follows: 07/11/2019 ABC News “‘Respiratory Outbreak’ Being Investigated at Retirement Community After 54 Residents Fall Ill” by Enjoli Francis

Thanks, Cindi. Yes, I am familiar with these cases and, yes, I do not understand why these events have not received more attention. I don't know where this virus first escaped from a lab (and, yes, I think that's how it started), I just know that it escaped far earlier than public health officials and experts have led us to believe ... or want everyone to believe.
Anyway, I think we can all accurately surmise why these never received any attention. There was a narrative to spin & a tyrannical plan to enact in 2020. Articles like these that would confirm massive naturally acquired immunity would’ve tanked the narrative & plan.
I completely agree with you Bill. We should perhaps compile a formal list of all the discrepancies, it would be more than twice as long as my list. One of my friends flew home from UAE in November 2019 and remarked that he had been told by “authorities” (I don’t know what that means) about Covid.
I had symptoms (what I describe as the worst flu of my life) in January 2020. I had just spent Christmas in Spain and then flown to the UK. Lasted four days. No treatment. Not even a sniffle since. No jabs & no special precautions.
Thanks for your great list and for sharing that personal anecdote. I can report that I have copied and saved HUNDREDS of similar posts from people who suspect they had Covid before it was supposed to be spreading. I'm like you. I was also sick in January 2020 - bad sick, bed-ridden for about five days and not back to myself for about two weeks. My symptoms included a loss of taste, terrible, painful and lingering cough, extreme shortness of breath, fatigue, fever, chills, etc. But my flu test told me I didn't have the flu. This experience is what got me started on my current investigative journalism project. I quickly found out that scores of people in my town had experienced the same type symptoms. A medical group administrator at the doc group I went to see later told me that all the doctors and nurses "thought there was something wrong with the flu tests." A flood of people were coming to the doctor with flu-like symptoms who were testing negative for the flu. It belies common sense that public health officials were not hearing anecdotes like this from across the country. So I think that at least some public health officials KNOW that this virus was spreading months before the lockdowns.
I and a friend with whom I live both had bad colds in late October 2019. We live in Maryland right outside D.C., half a mile from the Forest Glen annex of Fort Detrick, which houses the mammoth Daniel Inouye Building, with medical research facilities of both the Army and the Navy.
Thanks for sharing. To be clear, I'm not saying that everyone who was sick in these months had Covid, but I think some percentage with Covid-like symptoms (especially those who tested negative for the flu or never went to the doctor and got a flu test) did have Covid. It seems to be taboo for "journalists" to mention, but if they did their research and looked at all the ILI reports from the flu season of 2019-2020 produced by all the state health agencies and the CDC, they would see that ILI was "severe" and "widespread" in America. Scores of school closings in dozens of states also support this. The vast majority of these people did NOT test positive for the flu. If 30 million people were sick with ILI in this flu season and just five percent of these people actually had COVID, that's 1.5 million cases right there. If 10 percent had Covid. I know of one doctor who thinks 30 percent of the flu-negative sick patients actually had Covid. I would note that the CDC down-graded "estimates" of flu for this season (they now say there were only 20 million cases, which I think is a joke). The best evidence of early spread comes from two sources - people who were sick in November, December or January and later tested positive for Covid antibodies, as well as from the large numbers of Americans who had Covid-like symptoms who tested negative for flu. The "proof" this didn't happen comes from statements of public health officials who say this didn't happen. But you can probably guess what I think about such statements and the veracity of such alleged experts.
I think you are overestimating the intelligence of these people to pull something like this off.
This phenomenon that we are witnessing is what happens when power is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people of a period of time. When bureaucracy becomes too dominant, then the individual persons life and subsumed by the needs of the state and bureaucratic apparatus and everyone's time is spent satisfying the needs of the power centers; pleasing the court so to speak, this is the inevitable result.
About ten years ago right after the financial panic of 2008, Jeffrey Friedman PHD who publishes a journal called the Critical review, published a book length article called "Causes of the Crises" His conclusion: the 08 financial meltdown was not caused by one thing, rather it was a result of the complex web of regulations, rules, laws that interacted in complex ways and all prevented the free market from properly sending the signals it would have needed to send to correct the market imbalances that led to the crises. He talks about the federal reserve, the international BASEL banking rules, the FDIC, and more
The point is that the 08 crises was the fault of government fatally hampering the private market.
Similarly the entire world is dominated by the US health regulatory apparatus. The FDA, CDC, NIH, NIAID, Tony Fauci the WHO, and a handful of others control all the health care spending and regulation in the entire world. These agencies are completely captured by large pharmaceutical companies which use the agencies to control the markets to their advantage. Large bureaucratic US and other national federal agencies dont have good track records on competency, efficiency and ethical standards. What we just experienced was a systemic failure. The monopoly healthcare agencies are politicized arms of the US federal gov. These groups used , weaponized the healthcare bureaucracy, the way they have used the IRS to help depose a sitting president, the truth was abandoned in service to the needs of the bureaucracy ( to the court)
Ludwig Mises in his book Bureaucracy wrote eloquently about this phenomenon
In the past one region of the world or country might suffer through a problem like this and not drag the rest of the world with it . But the US washington regime has metastasized across the globe and when it fails it brings the whole world down with it.
Its too bad too because I really liked this country in the 1970s and 80s. I felt grateful to be an American. I believed in the meritocratic principles that made this a great place.
But this place has become a gross parody of everything it once stood for.
We are about to have a soverign debt dollar crises. I dont think people are prepared for how bad its going to get.
I want to believe that you’re right but it’s hard to believe that this level of seemingly coordinated global incompetence could have defeated the cross disciplinary checks and balances that exist across the world. It seems more credible to accept that this has been by design.
I do love the Alan Watts quote about conspiracy theories being the more comforting option.... I am open to both MiFly and you being correct. I see no reason to pick a side, I can't prove either to be true. I tend towards the conspiracy theory myself, but boy would I be glad if that wasn't the case.
"People accepted profound mistreatment in order to avoid conflict." didn't they ever. thanks for standing strong and reporting what the lockdowner-controlled media never will
Spot on as always, Mark. One of my many deepest disappointments in the last 2 years is to see young people who should have rebelled be the most compliant. They dutifully wore their masks and lined up for required boosters when they should have been refusing and protesting! Shameful!
I drive by a university every day and observe over half wearing masks out in the fresh air walking alone, in groups, riding bikes. I want to scream. Not a good way to start my day.
It's been happening for decades...the dumbing down of society! And you are right. It is shameful; I fault the education system. There they learn not to question and discuss, just to listen and retain what is decided upon and spewed out. I left the institution of teaching, and went out on my own. We need to start over, and dismantle the current paradigm if we are to see a bright future for our children.
I come here for the sanity of your wonderful articles, and the comment section.
The menticide of the people I'm surrounded by is really getting to me.
Here, I can envision normalcy -- it is not preaching to the choir, but people thinking freely and expressing what they are thinking. I leave, feeling validated and not so alone. The dialogues I used to enjoy in real life with people who either agree with me or do not, but willing to engage, exchange and explore. It's a human thing.
A dozen protesters, you say? How on earth did you find one another? Did you create this protest yourself, or did you join one, or design it as a group thing?
I work as a tutor, so I’m pretty in touch with young people. Unfortunately, they’re almost all exactly like you describe — obedient, easily influenced, and interested in avoiding conflict at all costs. They can regurgitate some basic facts and follow some simple “recipes”, but any kind of twist brings everything tumbling down. True searching intelligence is not valued.
Like many other commenters here, I was sure that young people wouldn’t stand for any of this. In April 2020, I thought we’d be seeing 60s style revolutions in the street at any moment. I still can’t get over how they happily handed over their youth to a bunch of politicians.
I have posted this elsewhere so forgive me for the repetition, but there was a great comedy film out in the Netherlands last summer where a new principle took over an elementary school and implemented a robot-controlled surveillance system. Everyone hated it, but no one knew how to fight it. So they ended up turning to a retired "flower power" teacher who taught everyone about non-violent civil disobedience and won the day. It was really beautiful and inspiring. How it managed to walk the fine line of public acceptance is a testament. It even won a public award, maybe thanks to an army of "wappies" voting, me included. Just brilliant.
Another classic. I just wish some news organization with millions of readers would publish this.
Princeton ... Harvard. Yale. Stanford. MIT .... our "best and brightest" are all obtuse. People willingly pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition to get educated by these people? Or: I guess these prestigious institutions of higher learning are doing the job they are supposed to be doing.
But we did have 12 protestors ... this is better than 11.
Agreed. After being told that my Epoch Times premium article was "conspiracy", I told my father that I wouldn't send him anymore links until they were approved by MSNBC and Stephen Colbert first🙄
He's perfectly possessed. Seriously. He will always be exalted in society since this is his world. But he has to die sometime and then he will be rewarded eternally for his evil actions.
Here is the letter I wrote to my alma mater last week when I learned they had the same Fthing deliver their speech. What's that old saying, Cognitive Sophistication does not Attenuate a Cognitive Blind Spot; (actually a recent study that says no matter how much you study, your biases will remain your biases, and if fact your studies may further blind you to perceiving reality by attenuating your biases even more). The sheepifying of the educated masses.
Board of Regents, University of Michigan-
I am deeply engraged by your choice of speakers
for the recent graduation.
Your choice to support these experimental
gene injections and support of Fauci himself
are indicative of compromised mental states.
Student and faculty deaths from the poison are on the
rise, it is all around us. Check with your local
morticians, read the obits in your local paper. You will
not read it in the NYT, no suprise.
If and when Fauci and his accomplices face legal action for
creating an ongoing democide of the American people from the
injections*, I wonder whether your support for him
and his programs will 'bite you in the butt'
as the saying goes.
You are a bought institution; I sensed it in the 1990's when I was a
student and saw were the monies were and were not 'flowing'.
That comprimise is now fully completed.
The students can and should be running in the opposite
direction. And they are, those with any sense of humanity.
*all cause non covid deaths are decimating the insurance industry.
Good luck getting anything insured in the coming years. I hold
the U of M as a responsible party, until you withdraw your support
for the CDC/ NIH.
Or whither as an institution. I think that process is underway now.
Jacquelyn Sauriol , I live right by there but work at a different hospital system that still acknowledges religious exemptions for the unvaxxed. U of M has turned into a human waste land. Masks everywhere including the ground, they don’t even pick up their filth.
wow thanks I am glad there is 1 hospital that is allowing any exemptions at all...the mask pollution is endemic, and probs part of the plan if they are indeed containing nasties that get into the water system as well...guess we gotta be picking those up, right? Ridic...kudos for trying to serve humanity through this horridness, BinyB....best -j
Of course these students can't think critically or use evidence based reason. They are trained ideologues. The products of post modernism and critical theory. They are destroying the backbone of the U.S., the middle class, with phony climate science, critical theory of all types, modern monetary theory and now WEF and WHO directed pandemic mitigation. They can't wait to join the club. If there isn't serious pushback and soon, this once great nation will become a third world hell hole like many of our cities already are.
They certainly have and will continue to fail in terms of improving life for individuals. To them, individuals are insects. But, they may not fail, through the instrument of ESG in taking complete control of the world economy and all of our lives and freedom. CRT, Climate and Pandemics are just tools to leverage this power.
I wish you were his prosecutor in court. You would put that sad little man where he belongs. This is a beautifully and deservingly sardonic description of the damage he has done. Yes, thank you for protesting.
I protested in Salem, OR when I had the opportunity. I shook Steve Kirsch's hand because I want to show my support to anyone who will stand up to the madness.
I would love to shake your hand, were it only following that demented man's conviction.
I agree. I thought there would be many more people. Makes me wonder just what percentage of people know what is going on and more importantly, who is willing to stand up?
Thank you for both protesting and updating us about it. I'm a Princeton graduate, and it was upon receiving the notification that the Class of '22 had selected Fauci to be their Class Day speaker that I made the pronouncement I was officially DONE being a proud alum and would NEVER give another dime in financial support to this institution of brainwashing and groupthink. I've been disgusted with the U and its policies over the past two years, and in fact helped guide my daughter away from Princeton during her own college application process last year, but that was just the absolute last straw for me. By the way, CDC Director Walensky was also welcomed by the campus a few weeks ago. It's been one heck of a spring at Princeton.
Thanks, Mama.
Now say that in Latin!
I'm another Princeton graduate who in fact was the Latin salutatorian of my class. And I don't remember how to say much in Latin.
I believed the lies for about a year. I suppose that confirms your low opinion of Princeton grads.
Fauci would have studied Latin for four years in the New York City Jesuit high school from which we both graduated. From there, he went on to study at Holy Cross, a Jesuit college, at which he is likely to have studied more Latin.
I bring up Latin b/c I've heard that it's a grad day tradition to have a speaker give a mock address in Latin that almost no one understands but all laugh at pre-arranged times to impress parents and put on the dog.
I know about two dozen Princeton grads. I went to HS and law school with most of these. Not one is an awesome intellect. Many are "box checkers." And nearly all are PC cultists. I discuss things with them--especially sciences--and they say a lot of things that are just outright incorrect. And only a few have any second language proficiency. No smart human who has witnessed the past 27 months can think Fauci is anything but a charlatan. Yet, they invited and applauded him.
And yes, pro-"vaxx." Like that worked.
Illegitimae non carborundum....
Yes, that is a tradition, and I gave that speech my year.
I've studied a lot of languages myself, both in that high school, at Princeton, and later on, but I can't say I ever achieved fluency in any foreign language.
BTW, earnest Q: why would you believe the lies for a year?
And what did it take to change your mind?
If you scroll my archive, I wrote 3-4 essays about why I knew this was a scam or at best a mistake. One is about caribou. Another is about pelicans. A third is about pranks.
I wasn't paying as much attention to the news as you.
What changed my mind was when I was forced to consider getting the vaccine. That concentrated my attention.
Nor was I paying attention to the news. The CV news has been obviously histrionic since Day 1. But I have a scientific and sociological framework that enabled me to see that this was being badly overblown for political and economic gain.
Plus, I looked at my own large social circle and and saw no one under 80 and healthy dying from this.
Hence, I concluded that this was a scam. I've always been an independent thinker who doesn't care if people like me or not. I don't---and didn't-- go along to get along.
I wrote op-eds calling out the scam in March, 2020 that no paper would publish.
I wrote the following essay in May, 2020. Medium later took my account down. I later tweaked it and put it on Substack. It explains why I knew when other people didn't know. I'm not boasting. It just angers me that so many people were so gullible. The ostensible reasons to lock down etc. simply didn't add up.

When Covid arrived, I was already at least 12 years into my intellectual “re-set” so I knew immediately that everything the public was being told by authorities, experts and the media was almost certainly a lie.
I trace my full “awakening” to Ron Paul’s last presidential bid. I already admired Paul for his small-government ideology and his willingness to stick to contrarian principles, but what really caused me to re-evaluate the world was his criticisms of America’s “interventions” in Iraq and Afghanistan. At one point, I was gung ho that America had to fight these “terrorists” over there, so we didn’t have to fight them in our own country. I bought the narrative that we were “spreading democracy” and these nations were a “threat” to American “national security.”
Thanks to Paul, and my willingness to reconsider previous views, I did an about-face and quickly came to believe that these nations posed zero threat to America and that it was really our own government that was working to take away my “freedoms.”
This intellectual journey eventually caused me to re-asses just about everything I had previously accepted as sacrosanct.
But I was already closer to this intellectual destination than most of my friends. For example, Washington Post and Newsweek columnist Robert J. Samuelson had a tremendous influence on me when he wrote a book with the title, “Untruth: How (Almost All) Conventional Wisdom is Wrong.” (Today, it amazes me that, once upon a time, a columnist for one of the most famous mainstream press journals wrote a book developing such a theme).
John Stossel also influenced me with his libertarian journalism and news specials, segments that always challenged “conventional wisdom.” Stossel of course no longer works for a major TV news network.
By the time Covid arrived, I’d already developed my own theory, “The Law of Opposite Effects.” This maxim tells me that whatever the Powers that Be tell us will happen when the State implements some policy, the opposite result will almost certainly happen.
So when I was told that Covid was a great threat to everyone, I knew it was no threat to most people. When I was told that “vaccines” would prevent infections, I knew they wouldn’t and that the they would, in fact, be very dangerous.
People who think like me are probably 1 in 10,000. In many ways, such a contrarian world view makes one’s life more difficult as you end up disagreeing with just about everyone. You also become certain that some policy that is supposed to help people will actually harm many people. But you feel impotent in preventing this outcome because you know nothing is going to change and that your lonely voice will be dismissed.
As a journalist, I intuitively knew that members of the Fourth Estate should be skeptics, should try to find real truths and should not be afraid of exposing corrupt leaders or “faux narratives.” Alas, I wrote for small papers and rarely did real “investigative journalism.” I wrote simple stories and human interest pieces. It was only a couple of years ago, when I lost my job as a managing editor, that I decided to become a “freelance” journalist and write about the stories that most interested me. As it turned out, the purpose of most of these stories was to debunk or challenge dubious narratives.
Today, it burns me up that my journalism peers at the big corporate news organizations consider such topics to be taboo. It’s frustrating that my articles and commentaries are deemed un-publishable at sites I now believe exist to protect false and harmful narratives.
But I still think the 1 person in 10,000 who is willing to challenge dogma or conventional wisdom is far more important than the 9,999 who are practicing “pack journalism” and have swallowed the GroupThink Kool-Aid.
I also think a few more people have now made a similar intellectual journey as myself. More people are now also questioning things they would never have questioned before. This evolution might not have won them any friends (it probably cost them a few), but these converts might also be influencing other people.
Anyway, I still think it’s a good thing that at least a few people are willing to search for the truth and no longer believe everything they are told. When no contrarians are left to question dubious narratives the world will be a dystopian place.
Concentrated attention is a great way to put it. That's when it got as personal as it gets. I hated the lockdowns and school closures and by fall 2020 I could finally see the NLP being used in our press conferences, but I did not want to see nefarious intent for as long as possible. I wanted it to be panic and dereliction of duty. Actually very similar to my thoughts on 9/11. I didn't credit the inside job theory in a real way until this year. But that didn't stop me from being against all of the obviously idiotic policies. It took me a long time to realize that compliance just made it all worse.
the caribou piece is my very favorite of yours.
BC grad here - I write the administration, all state legislators, my governor, my mayor and city councilors in Boston on a regular basis. I've been to some protests and they've been poorly attended as well. So now I spend a lot of time writing. Sharing links and papers and studies from credentialed scientists and MDs about the dangers of these horrible experimental genetic injections. I tell them all I want my comments to be part of the public record, that I think they are guilty of malfeasance, and I want to ensure they can't state at a later date that they didn't have better information. Meanwhile, a sophomore at Boston College suffered a stroke after his mandated booster this year. There is a major lawsuit in the works over that one.
So many universities and companies will be defendants in these cases. Collectively, these will make asbestos litigation seem like traffic court.
Man, I hope you are right. I agree. The liability exposure is (or should be) massive - The BP oil spill times 100,000.
Prediction: That lawsuit will be thrown out. They can't lose ONE such case. If they lose one, they are going to lose 100,000 ... and every big organization in the country is going to be bankrupt.
"If they lose one, they are going to lose 100,000 ... and every big organization in the country is going to be bankrupt." 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. But, yes, I'm sure you are right.

Bill, you are probably and tragically right. The case of Hannah Poling is a case study at how government weasels out vaccine induced autism. I couldn't find a comprehensive link to the ins and outs of this case, but its just additional proof of everything that is corrupt with vaccines and the injuries they cause.
About the Poling case, and others:
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0802904
The response by Jon Poling (Hannah Poling's father) to the Offit article might be worth considering. The Hannah Poling case has a history where federal prosecutors and VICP program specifically carved out the exception for Hannah Poling otherwise 5,000 autism cases would have to be compensated. How they did it is corruption at its best. Offit falsely assumes that the reduction in antigen units have made vaccines safe. Reduction of the antigen units did reduce the reactigenicity when DTaP replaced the DTP. But the number of vaccines dramatically increased at the same time with their adjuvants and other toxic ingredients.
Vaccines and Autism Revisited
To the Editor
In his Perspective article on a possible connection between vaccines and autism, Offit (May 15 issue)1 speculates about my daughter, Hannah, and repeats inaccuracies from a March New York Times opinion piece that was officially corrected by the Times and our April 5 letter.
By omitting critical information from my March 6, 2008, statement, Offit misrepresents my position. I said, “Many in the autism community and their champions believe that the result in this case may well signify a landmark decision as it pertains to children developing autism following vaccinations. This still remains to be seen, but currently there are almost 5,000 other cases pending.”
Offit's remarks about Hannah's case are not evidence-based. He has no access to my daughter's personal medical records, legal documents, or affidavits. In contrast, physicians from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) who studied this information recommended that the government concede Hannah's case. The clinical history Offit presents contains significant inaccuracies, and the resulting conclusions are consequently flawed.
Offit confuses issues by comparing Hannah's case with unrelated decisions in “vaccine court.” The Office of the Secretary of DHHS, through the Department of Justice, conceded Hannah's case. There was no courtroom hearing and no decision from the “unusual vaccine court.”
Offit is frequently cited regarding the “biologically plausible” theory that simultaneous administration of multiple vaccines is safe. His opinion is unsupported by clinical trials, much less investigations in potentially susceptible subpopulations.
Despite the high frequency of mitochondrial dysfunction in autistic children,2 studies have not established primary or secondary roles. To explore this question, we need an immunization database for children with metabolic disorders to establish safety guidelines3 and improve vaccine safety for minority subgroups of children.
I agree with the statement of Bernadine Healy, former director of the National Institutes of Health, who said, “I don't think you should ever turn your back on any scientific hypothesis because you're afraid of what it might show. . . . If you know that susceptible group, you can save those children. If you turn your back on the notion there is a susceptible group . . . what can I say?”4 Also commendable is the new 5-year research plan of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, which will entail the study of minority subpopulations, including patients with mitochondrial disorders.5
A strong, safe vaccination program is a cornerstone of public health. Misrepresenting Hannah Poling v. HHS to the medical profession does not improve confidence in the immunization program or advance science toward an understanding of how and why regressive encephalopathy with autistic features follows vaccination in susceptible children.

Thank you for posting that article. What an upsetting read. So this catastrophic increase in autism is just coming from... ? The New England Journal of Medicine can't be bothered writing about that I guess.
🙄
How 'bout the organization called the United States Government? Think that'll make It? Me: nope.
Okay I know there aren't enough of us to make a difference, but that's why I loved reading your comment. I had a similar experience with my high school (Punahou School of Barack Obama fame claiming). It is an elitist institution with very high alumni involvement, so while not as prestigious, does engender the same type of milieu. Over the course of 2020 I was in close contact with classmates who were very disappointed in the online learning route the school took, but it got worse with endless school safety updates with photos of kids in masks AND face shields (my kids in the netherlands never wore masks except on the airplane, which incidentally, no one was interested in hearing about, though I thought that was the point of having a globe spanning alumni network). Then in the summer of 2021 on the heels of a statewide vax pass system, they announced a return to in person alumni events, but on condition of vaccination. This is after it was quite clear that it didn't stop spread. I wrote my first and last nuclear email to the school hating on my alma mater so hard I won't ever live it down. I laid it all out, including how classmates had unfriended me on SM over this and how pathetic a legacy all this elitism founded. No critical thinking and certainly no empathy, core tenets of the school's mission. I asked to be removed from their lists (which I know all about because I helped add anyone and everyone to those lists to try and up involvement and cash) and I will never donate to their failed cause again. Those classmates have been the absolute worst group-thinkers and bullies in my life. Good riddance. Never been so happy my hubby put his foot down and made us return to the Netherlands after living in Hawaii for three years. It was always my dream my kids would be third generation graduates, but honestly the writing was on the wall years ago and he made the right call.
Weren't they spraying protestors with high powered water hoses in the winter in the Netherlands for protesting against the plandemic bullshit?
Yes, many many times. Protesters were also beaten and some rioters were even shot! But the worst was having dogs sicced on us. Not at any of the protests, I attended, but at a few others. amnesty international got involved. Some very upsetting images are floating around. CJ Hopkins used them to good effect in a couple memes. The reason I say it is the worst is because it is so viscerally violent and scary. So primitive. This country is unrecognizable. Democratic rule of law is dead. But I have learned from talking to people who lived through horrors, including the nazi occupation of Amsterdam, that life simply goes on, one way or another. We show up and do what we can, but other than that we must live.

Just awful. We must take a stand and fight where we are. People must stop complying with the tyranny.
It sounds cliché, but it does start with the INDIVIDUAL.
Good work Mark, getting out there for real and expressing the truth.
There are a lot of rehashed points here but I thought it was instructive to list them all in one message. The reason is that I think each is individually worthy of a whole lot more attention than it has had or will get. But together it represents an unassailable mountain of evidence for a terrible wrong.
If you’re going to throw around an extraordinary accusation (I am doing, eugenics) then you’re going to need extraordinary evidence. We have it.
Suggesting that there are people with a eugenics agenda in positions of power and influence is quite a claim but undeniably true. Both Gates and his father are on public record arguing that the planet is unsustainable in terms of energy and resource with the current population. Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset agenda, along with many other spokespeople for the WEF, involves a monumental shift in resource consumption away from “useless eaters”. The Rockefellers have been long time promoters of eugenics.

the drive to authorise use in children with zero risk profile
These are just off the top of my head, there are more issues.
There are too many compelling reasons for challenging the global policy surrounding Covid. Each of the above points on their own are enough to pause and reconsider. Taken together they are definitive evidence of an alternative agenda.
So I ask you, if the agenda is not eugenics, a monumental reduction in human population, what is it?
To pretend that it isn’t this on the basis that it is too difficult and dreadful to contemplate is to deny the reality of the above. What alternative explanation is there? I genuinely cannot think of anything other than population control and reduction as a rationale for the unprecedented policies enacted over the last two years. I wish I could.
And now the 14 month ago predicted arrival of monkeypox with quarantining already underway. At exactly the same time, this week, that the WHO is voting to take away the right of sovereign states to manage their own “health emergencies”.
And all of this is happening with unprecedented global supply chain, energy and food production crises, debt, inflation, a non-trivial avoidable war, a looming war in China, headlong rush to impose CBDCs, ongoing climate change alarmism and a WEF program called The Great Reset.
Tell me where this argument fails. I hope I’m wrong.
IVF and sperm and egg sales are eugenic practices. They've been occurring for decades and are even subsidized by medical insurance premiums.
Can you elaborate on your remark? I want to make sure I'm following your intended meaning.
People who use IVF select embryos that appear more vital and pass various genetic screenings. Others buy sperm and eggs from those with characteristics they shop for.
What an amazing post👍🏻- it’s exhausting reading all the points but as you point out, just 1 of them should be ‘cause to pause’ so it begs the huge question of why?…..and Eugenics can be the ONLY answer
I wish we could say your argument was lacking, God do I wish we could! Unfortunately, this is the sick truth of the world we currently live in. I spent most of my life naively believing that because I cared about people, others also must care about people. I had no idea such evil existed. My whole being has been shattered by the realization that so many people not only don't care about others, but that they can be bought, and that their thirst for power is unquenchable. I knew people could be mean, selfish, narcissistic, etc but I truly had no idea they could be this level of evil. Worse, I don't know how we fix this😭
I feel the same, Darci. Gutted @ what I know now & where we are
Evil always exist.....as does, good. There are always people like Hitler, Stalin, etc...
Hitler, Stalin and their ilk are not the surprise. It has been all the friends and family I had thought were intelligent, rational, moral people whose values and character would never allow them to support such evil. And yet, so many, sadly it seems most, have. There are so many friends I had respected, even admired, for whom I'll never be able to feel the same way, even if they eventually wake up. Gut wrenching is exactly the experience. And yes, good does exist as well, and I've met many truly fine people as a result of this, which gives me hope.
Martha, same, well similar. There are ‘intelligent’ people I always respected who hold a different view to me. We have agreed to differ. There are idiots who don’t share my views, it’s not worth trying to propose an alternative one. There are intelligent people who have lived so long believing in a benevolent state and media who I will never convince otherwise. I don’t want to lose them as friends but I won’t compromise my beliefs to keep the peace. We reach an amicable disagreement. And there are those who want to believe me. They go along with my arguments but I know they revert to the ‘safety’ of what they think is majority opinion. That is the madness of crowds, and I think part of the mass psychosis phenomenon.
I am constantly amazed at how emotionally involved people can be in seemingly objective opinions and positions. The only people I care deeply enough about to want to persuade are close friends and family. Outside of this small group, agree with me or disagree, I don’t care, at least on a personal level. I care a lot more on a societal level like I believe most people subscribed to substacks do. Stay calm, stay happy.
I feel exactly like you. I feel like the world I’ve lived in for 58 years was all a big LIE.
Excellent post!
It's like a freaking sci-fi movie! Also, now Pfizer is trying to dismiss the Lawsuit against them by whistleblower Brooke Jackson.
"In the “Background” section of its Motion to Dismiss, here’s exactly what Pfizer argued:
Because of pandemic-related exigencies, the agreement was not a standard federal procurement contract, but rather a ‘prototype’ agreement executed pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2371b[.] … The [contract’s Statement of Work] describes a ‘large scale vaccine manufacturing demonstration’ that imposes no requirements relating to Good Clinical Practices (‘GCP’) or related FDA regulations."
Holy shit! They are admitting their crap "vaccine" is a protype, a demonstration. And yet, it's ok to give that to the entire population???
I got this info from excellent attorney Jeff Childers' Coffee & Covid log. He even provided a link to Pfizer's Motion to Dismiss.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/-coffee-and-covid-wednesday-may-25?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo1ODgwMTM3NiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTY0OTcxMTMsIl8iOiJXK25ZWSIsImlhdCI6MTY1MzQ4Mzk3MywiZXhwIjoxNjUzNDg3NTczLCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNDYzNDA5Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.puMJm20v4ls7ZDNrzXtuySahiqFc4ItyOYgO7Q8p-vA&s=r
Not just GIVE it but FORCE it! And our “betters” are threatening more masks, lockdowns, “new” “vaccines” & more boosters!
There has GOT to a reckoning for EVERYONE that has been in on this diabolical scheme, from the very top (“experts”, politicians, pharm manufacturers) to any doctor who lied & pushed this on their patients.
It’s an “experimental prototype”…absolutely frightening.
Maybe it’s about population reduction ... but if it was I’d think that covid would have been a lot deadlier. It just wasn’t a danger to the general population. Maybe it was engineered to only kill the most “useless” people, but I don’t see any evidence we experienced anything more than common upper respiratory illness these past two years.
I tend to think this is about destroying the human spirit. It’s about making people dependent on the state for everything, but especially for their world view. I didn’t know anyone who died physically but I know many people who died intellectually, spiritually and morally. They were told there was a deadly virus and they believed it despite no evidence in their lives.
The message is “you can’t trust yourself, you can only trust us”
The vaccine was a test. Just how far will you go to comply? The messaging deputized people so they shunned old friends or fired good workers who didn’t comply.
It’s all about making the population docile and easy to control IMO.
Just my thoughts. Could be about eugenics but then they’d only be killing the most obedient with vaccines ....
You are right....this was a test, and a large majority of the world passed it with flying colours. I think even they ( the planners and instigators) were so surprised at how easy it was. The dumbing down of society has been going on for the last several decades...I see it in the children I teach. They are mostly followers; once in a while, a strong individual stands out. But they are so few. God help us all!
Yep. It’s been going on for decades. They’ve been slowly eroding the ability to think critically and they’ve been bombarding us with fear.
This kind of thing doesn’t happen overnight. It’s taken decades.
“This isn’t intended to come across as antivax in any way…”
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/this-isnt-intended-to-come-across/comments
Insanity
I think it was more about finally they had a "novel" virus they could stir up fear with, using a bogus PCR test, to get the whole world begging for a totally new type of "vaccine" never used before. In the meantime destroying economies and restructuring societies in ways they had planned for awhile but didn't know how to implement them all at once. They needed the western world as compliant as the Chinese, and we're just about there.
I can absolutely agree w/ the whole thing as a demoralization project, but I think the overall mildness of the plandemic was a test run to see how compliant people would be, & they have been plenty compliant, globally. But also to condition - if sheeple went “all in” for something overall quite benign, bought the lies & about-turns w/out thinking, think what the sheeple will do & believe w/ anything more dangerous.
You’re totally right IMO.
I think it was a programming exercise to see just how easily and quickly the masses could be brainwashed into compliance- they couldn’t have a too deadly ‘virus’ as I think the conditioning was the aim in preparation for all the other shite that came down the pipe in the form of the superstitious claptrap called Convid measures including the biggie of the Jab passport as that’s the end goal- digital identity.
Agree wholeheartedly
I love your reasoning but a dangerous sickness would be dangerous to everyone! Means to the perpetrators also! That is dangerous! A forced vaccination is a different kind of trick as the perpetrators can control how many poison go out and to who. Much more deliberate and controllable.
Vxi7, in the alternative, these past 2+ years may have advanced the ball far enough down the totalitarian field that it will be impossible to stop the NWO & all of the very bad things that will mean….
Well, They’d have the real vaccine protect them from the dangerous virus.
Spot On. What a post!
¡Nailed it, soyelcaminodelfuturo!
This is a great list/summary of "false narratives." But there's one that hardly anyone is talking about - the origination date of when this virus began to spread around the world is off by weeks if not months. The "timeline" is completely wrong .... and all serious investigations should start with an accurate timeline of important events.
I actually believe it was circulating at least by summer 2019, which means millions if not billions had been exposed & acquired natural immunity 6+ months before lockdowns/ distancing/masks/vax.
A commentator some months ago linked to 2 articles in June 2019 about a mystery illness & deaths in a nursing home in 1 state & mystery illness @ a military base in a different state. But I’m too dumb to know how to paste them over here!
My research and my own reporting also lead me to conclude that MILLIONS of Americans had been exposed to this virus by December 2019. The mayor of Belleville, NJ was sick with Covid symptoms around Nov. 20th, 2019 and later tested positive for Covid antibodies two times. He reports that several people were sick at the same conference where he first had symptoms. If he did have Covid, someone else gave it to him so my conclusion (which I am pretty sure is logical) is that the virus was already spreading in NJ by mid-November if not earlier. At least 16 other people in at least four other states also were sick in November or December and also later tested positive for antibodies. If this virus is as contagious as we know it is, millions of people had been infected in America. To me, this is the only explanation that would explain how this virus had infected so many people in these geographically-dispersed states (A belated study of Red Cross archived blood further supports this "early spread" hypothesis). Your take-away is the same as mine: Why the lockdowns and NPIs starting March 15, 2020 if millions of Americans had already been infected three or four months before this? Frankly, I don't understand why this isn't a major and scandalous story ... or maybe I do. You might be interested in this article I wrote on this topic. It was ignored by the national press, but of course it would be.
https://uncoverdc.com/2020/07/13/covid-19-is-a-real-search-for-the-truth-now-taboo/
Bill Rice, I think it is because it was & is never about public health, it’s about control, depopulation, great reset, etc.
And it wouldn’t only have been millions just in the US. Think of the global travel going everywhere (including into & out of China) all through 2019. Acquired immunity was EVERYWHERE (IMO).
Thanks much for the link, will read today!
I also echo your point on all the people who had already acquired "natural immunity." For what it's worth, I think I am one of these (probably) millions of people. I was sick with all the Covid symptoms in January 2020. I went to the doctor and tested negative for influenza so I can rule out the flu for my illness. Perhaps significantly, I have never contacted COVID since ... and I have had two PCR tests. I've posted elsewhere that this large group of possible "early" Covid people should be studied to see what percentage of us (compared to the rest of the population) later contracted "confirmed" Covid. I believe the vaccine push might have been harpooned if officials acknowledged that so many people already had natural immunity. These people definitely have a strong incentive to cover-up early spread IMO.
Knew a # of people pretty sick w/ mystery illnesses in Fall 2019. I had what I thought was a bad bronchitis in Feb 2020, did not see a doc so nothing confirmed (& there wasn’t testing yet), just rode it out but it lasted 2-3 weeks. I did have confirmed “Covid pneumonia” in Dec 2021 & it was pretty rough (every symptom in the book & on home 02 for 15 days) but I managed to stay out of the hospital, thank God.
Anyway, check out those articles I sent & let us know what you think
Hi Bill, I'm enjoying your posts here. You ask " Why the lockdowns and NPIs starting March 15, 2020 if millions of Americans had already been infected three or four months before this?" I have pondered this for 2 1/2 years. I don't think it had anything to do with the virus per se.
In late Feb 2020 I went to the airport in Melbourne Australia for a flight to Honolulu in the early afternoon. The terminal was deserted. There was one ticket agent in the entire cavernous space, and no other customer besides my husband and myself. The agent told us that most agents had been furloughed because hardly anyone was flying. She said the saddest part was watching the food vendors prep meals for all the anticipated travelers, and then throw it all away at the end of the day because there was no one there to eat it.
We returned home to PA in early March. I was informed by the owners of the two yoga studios where I taught that attendance at class had dropped so drastically that they were going to close, since it was not worth the cost of keeping the space open when no one was coming.
Then on the weekend before the lockdown we went to a very upscale restaurant in a high end town square style shopping mall. The huge restaurant had only one other couple there for the two hours we were there.
We remarked on all the expensive sushi that would never get eaten.
We walked around the outdoor mall and it was a ghost town. No other people out and about. The waitstaff at Red Robin was standing at the bar with no customers in the place. Same at every other eatery. The movie theater was deserted.
I believe the lockdowns happened when they did because most people had already locked themselves down and businesses were already feeling the pain. This showed TPTB that the fear campaign was working, people would comply, so then we got 2 weeks to flatten the curve, and everything that followed. They did it because they could.
Those are specific and excellent details. I hadn't thought about that. I just read the Red Dawn emails that were published by the NY Times and then the Brownstone Institute. I found these very interesting. They show us what the "experts" were writing to each other in the weeks leading up to the lockdowns. What strikes me the most about all these emails is that nobody considered the possibility the virus was already spreading.
Yep. The Red Cross found antibodies in blood samples from December 2019. I believe they found antibodies in California too.

Bill, IDK how to copy/paste links but I have article info as follows: 07/11/2019 ABC News “‘Respiratory Outbreak’ Being Investigated at Retirement Community After 54 Residents Fall Ill” by Enjoli Francis
07/17/2019 NBC Washington “Cause of Respiratory Illness Still Unknown After Dozens Sickened at Virginia Retirement Community” by Carissa DiMango & Julie Caret, Northern Virginia Bureau
11/24/2019 Military.com (removed, use Way Back - Webarchive.org) “CDC Inspection Findings Reveal More About Ft Derrick Research Suspension” by Heather Mongilio
Thanks, Cindi. Yes, I am familiar with these cases and, yes, I do not understand why these events have not received more attention. I don't know where this virus first escaped from a lab (and, yes, I think that's how it started), I just know that it escaped far earlier than public health officials and experts have led us to believe ... or want everyone to believe.
Anyway, I think we can all accurately surmise why these never received any attention. There was a narrative to spin & a tyrannical plan to enact in 2020. Articles like these that would confirm massive naturally acquired immunity would’ve tanked the narrative & plan.
Absolutely
*Ft Detrick
Julie Carey 2nd article, sorry
I completely agree with you Bill. We should perhaps compile a formal list of all the discrepancies, it would be more than twice as long as my list. One of my friends flew home from UAE in November 2019 and remarked that he had been told by “authorities” (I don’t know what that means) about Covid.
I had symptoms (what I describe as the worst flu of my life) in January 2020. I had just spent Christmas in Spain and then flown to the UK. Lasted four days. No treatment. Not even a sniffle since. No jabs & no special precautions.
And there will NEVER be any jabs for me.
Thanks for your great list and for sharing that personal anecdote. I can report that I have copied and saved HUNDREDS of similar posts from people who suspect they had Covid before it was supposed to be spreading. I'm like you. I was also sick in January 2020 - bad sick, bed-ridden for about five days and not back to myself for about two weeks. My symptoms included a loss of taste, terrible, painful and lingering cough, extreme shortness of breath, fatigue, fever, chills, etc. But my flu test told me I didn't have the flu. This experience is what got me started on my current investigative journalism project. I quickly found out that scores of people in my town had experienced the same type symptoms. A medical group administrator at the doc group I went to see later told me that all the doctors and nurses "thought there was something wrong with the flu tests." A flood of people were coming to the doctor with flu-like symptoms who were testing negative for the flu. It belies common sense that public health officials were not hearing anecdotes like this from across the country. So I think that at least some public health officials KNOW that this virus was spreading months before the lockdowns.
I and a friend with whom I live both had bad colds in late October 2019. We live in Maryland right outside D.C., half a mile from the Forest Glen annex of Fort Detrick, which houses the mammoth Daniel Inouye Building, with medical research facilities of both the Army and the Navy.
Thanks for sharing. To be clear, I'm not saying that everyone who was sick in these months had Covid, but I think some percentage with Covid-like symptoms (especially those who tested negative for the flu or never went to the doctor and got a flu test) did have Covid. It seems to be taboo for "journalists" to mention, but if they did their research and looked at all the ILI reports from the flu season of 2019-2020 produced by all the state health agencies and the CDC, they would see that ILI was "severe" and "widespread" in America. Scores of school closings in dozens of states also support this. The vast majority of these people did NOT test positive for the flu. If 30 million people were sick with ILI in this flu season and just five percent of these people actually had COVID, that's 1.5 million cases right there. If 10 percent had Covid. I know of one doctor who thinks 30 percent of the flu-negative sick patients actually had Covid. I would note that the CDC down-graded "estimates" of flu for this season (they now say there were only 20 million cases, which I think is a joke). The best evidence of early spread comes from two sources - people who were sick in November, December or January and later tested positive for Covid antibodies, as well as from the large numbers of Americans who had Covid-like symptoms who tested negative for flu. The "proof" this didn't happen comes from statements of public health officials who say this didn't happen. But you can probably guess what I think about such statements and the veracity of such alleged experts.
¿Expertos? Tonterías
I think you are overestimating the intelligence of these people to pull something like this off.
This phenomenon that we are witnessing is what happens when power is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people of a period of time. When bureaucracy becomes too dominant, then the individual persons life and subsumed by the needs of the state and bureaucratic apparatus and everyone's time is spent satisfying the needs of the power centers; pleasing the court so to speak, this is the inevitable result.
About ten years ago right after the financial panic of 2008, Jeffrey Friedman PHD who publishes a journal called the Critical review, published a book length article called "Causes of the Crises" His conclusion: the 08 financial meltdown was not caused by one thing, rather it was a result of the complex web of regulations, rules, laws that interacted in complex ways and all prevented the free market from properly sending the signals it would have needed to send to correct the market imbalances that led to the crises. He talks about the federal reserve, the international BASEL banking rules, the FDIC, and more
you can find it here
https://www.google.com/books/edition/What_Caused_the_Financial_Crisis/bbv5bVuGVT4C?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover
The point is that the 08 crises was the fault of government fatally hampering the private market.
Similarly the entire world is dominated by the US health regulatory apparatus. The FDA, CDC, NIH, NIAID, Tony Fauci the WHO, and a handful of others control all the health care spending and regulation in the entire world. These agencies are completely captured by large pharmaceutical companies which use the agencies to control the markets to their advantage. Large bureaucratic US and other national federal agencies dont have good track records on competency, efficiency and ethical standards. What we just experienced was a systemic failure. The monopoly healthcare agencies are politicized arms of the US federal gov. These groups used , weaponized the healthcare bureaucracy, the way they have used the IRS to help depose a sitting president, the truth was abandoned in service to the needs of the bureaucracy ( to the court)
Ludwig Mises in his book Bureaucracy wrote eloquently about this phenomenon
https://cdn.mises.org/Bureaucracy_3.pdf
In the past one region of the world or country might suffer through a problem like this and not drag the rest of the world with it . But the US washington regime has metastasized across the globe and when it fails it brings the whole world down with it.
Its too bad too because I really liked this country in the 1970s and 80s. I felt grateful to be an American. I believed in the meritocratic principles that made this a great place.
But this place has become a gross parody of everything it once stood for.
We are about to have a soverign debt dollar crises. I dont think people are prepared for how bad its going to get.
I want to believe that you’re right but it’s hard to believe that this level of seemingly coordinated global incompetence could have defeated the cross disciplinary checks and balances that exist across the world. It seems more credible to accept that this has been by design.
there are no cross disciplinary checks and balances anymore. The executive authority has usurped power. Fauci uber alles ... and Fauci has been wrong
I do love the Alan Watts quote about conspiracy theories being the more comforting option.... I am open to both MiFly and you being correct. I see no reason to pick a side, I can't prove either to be true. I tend towards the conspiracy theory myself, but boy would I be glad if that wasn't the case.
Your theory makes a lot of sense except WHO is not an American agency.
YOU’RE HIRED!!!! The world is nearly: FUBAR
"People accepted profound mistreatment in order to avoid conflict." didn't they ever. thanks for standing strong and reporting what the lockdowner-controlled media never will
Spot on as always, Mark. One of my many deepest disappointments in the last 2 years is to see young people who should have rebelled be the most compliant. They dutifully wore their masks and lined up for required boosters when they should have been refusing and protesting! Shameful!
I drive by a university every day and observe over half wearing masks out in the fresh air walking alone, in groups, riding bikes. I want to scream. Not a good way to start my day.
^ this x1000
It's been happening for decades...the dumbing down of society! And you are right. It is shameful; I fault the education system. There they learn not to question and discuss, just to listen and retain what is decided upon and spewed out. I left the institution of teaching, and went out on my own. We need to start over, and dismantle the current paradigm if we are to see a bright future for our children.
I come here for the sanity of your wonderful articles, and the comment section.
The menticide of the people I'm surrounded by is really getting to me.
Here, I can envision normalcy -- it is not preaching to the choir, but people thinking freely and expressing what they are thinking. I leave, feeling validated and not so alone. The dialogues I used to enjoy in real life with people who either agree with me or do not, but willing to engage, exchange and explore. It's a human thing.
A dozen protesters, you say? How on earth did you find one another? Did you create this protest yourself, or did you join one, or design it as a group thing?
Someone in a medical freedom group sent me an email about it, so I went with a friend.
Your 'Fauci speech' was a bracing truth tonic. I felt so much better just reading it.
I work as a tutor, so I’m pretty in touch with young people. Unfortunately, they’re almost all exactly like you describe — obedient, easily influenced, and interested in avoiding conflict at all costs. They can regurgitate some basic facts and follow some simple “recipes”, but any kind of twist brings everything tumbling down. True searching intelligence is not valued.
Like many other commenters here, I was sure that young people wouldn’t stand for any of this. In April 2020, I thought we’d be seeing 60s style revolutions in the street at any moment. I still can’t get over how they happily handed over their youth to a bunch of politicians.
I work with students at Rutgers. This is all so true.
I have posted this elsewhere so forgive me for the repetition, but there was a great comedy film out in the Netherlands last summer where a new principle took over an elementary school and implemented a robot-controlled surveillance system. Everyone hated it, but no one knew how to fight it. So they ended up turning to a retired "flower power" teacher who taught everyone about non-violent civil disobedience and won the day. It was really beautiful and inspiring. How it managed to walk the fine line of public acceptance is a testament. It even won a public award, maybe thanks to an army of "wappies" voting, me included. Just brilliant.
Another classic. I just wish some news organization with millions of readers would publish this.
Princeton ... Harvard. Yale. Stanford. MIT .... our "best and brightest" are all obtuse. People willingly pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition to get educated by these people? Or: I guess these prestigious institutions of higher learning are doing the job they are supposed to be doing.
But we did have 12 protestors ... this is better than 11.
Many pay little tuition. Princeton has a huge endowment to fund "box checkers."
remember Good Will Hunting? we really ought to watch it more often.
Man! I bet you feel better. I do! Thanks for this!
I really enjoyed reading this. I would send it on to my daughters and their husbands, but they would be outraged for sharing such "propaganda"
They are already shunning me for sending them "false and dangerous information"
The MSM has done a stellar job, along with nasty brainless hollywood and the dirtbag politicians
Send it to them. I confront people often. They need to be able to defend their position. But they can't.
Agreed. After being told that my Epoch Times premium article was "conspiracy", I told my father that I wouldn't send him anymore links until they were approved by MSNBC and Stephen Colbert first🙄
He's perfectly possessed. Seriously. He will always be exalted in society since this is his world. But he has to die sometime and then he will be rewarded eternally for his evil actions.

Please let me know when you go to protest. I would like to participate.
Anybody here from NJ and wants to protest?
E-mail me at forecheck32@gmail.com.
Here is the letter I wrote to my alma mater last week when I learned they had the same Fthing deliver their speech. What's that old saying, Cognitive Sophistication does not Attenuate a Cognitive Blind Spot; (actually a recent study that says no matter how much you study, your biases will remain your biases, and if fact your studies may further blind you to perceiving reality by attenuating your biases even more). The sheepifying of the educated masses.
Board of Regents, University of Michigan-
I am deeply engraged by your choice of speakers
for the recent graduation.
Your choice to support these experimental
gene injections and support of Fauci himself
are indicative of compromised mental states.
Student and faculty deaths from the poison are on the
rise, it is all around us. Check with your local
morticians, read the obits in your local paper. You will
not read it in the NYT, no suprise.
If and when Fauci and his accomplices face legal action for
creating an ongoing democide of the American people from the
injections*, I wonder whether your support for him
and his programs will 'bite you in the butt'
as the saying goes.
You are a bought institution; I sensed it in the 1990's when I was a
student and saw were the monies were and were not 'flowing'.
That comprimise is now fully completed.
The students can and should be running in the opposite
direction. And they are, those with any sense of humanity.
*all cause non covid deaths are decimating the insurance industry.
Good luck getting anything insured in the coming years. I hold
the U of M as a responsible party, until you withdraw your support
for the CDC/ NIH.
Or whither as an institution. I think that process is underway now.

Jacquelyn Sauriol , I live right by there but work at a different hospital system that still acknowledges religious exemptions for the unvaxxed. U of M has turned into a human waste land. Masks everywhere including the ground, they don’t even pick up their filth.
wow thanks I am glad there is 1 hospital that is allowing any exemptions at all...the mask pollution is endemic, and probs part of the plan if they are indeed containing nasties that get into the water system as well...guess we gotta be picking those up, right? Ridic...kudos for trying to serve humanity through this horridness, BinyB....best -j
😉we all stick together
Excellent letter. Stay on them. Let them know some people understand how awful they are.
Of course these students can't think critically or use evidence based reason. They are trained ideologues. The products of post modernism and critical theory. They are destroying the backbone of the U.S., the middle class, with phony climate science, critical theory of all types, modern monetary theory and now WEF and WHO directed pandemic mitigation. They can't wait to join the club. If there isn't serious pushback and soon, this once great nation will become a third world hell hole like many of our cities already are.
The club that they want to join is obviously failing. Why can't they see that?
They certainly have and will continue to fail in terms of improving life for individuals. To them, individuals are insects. But, they may not fail, through the instrument of ESG in taking complete control of the world economy and all of our lives and freedom. CRT, Climate and Pandemics are just tools to leverage this power.
Nailed it.
I wish you were his prosecutor in court. You would put that sad little man where he belongs. This is a beautifully and deservingly sardonic description of the damage he has done. Yes, thank you for protesting.
I protested in Salem, OR when I had the opportunity. I shook Steve Kirsch's hand because I want to show my support to anyone who will stand up to the madness.
I would love to shake your hand, were it only following that demented man's conviction.
I protested in Salem too! The turnout was disappointing.
I agree. I thought there would be many more people. Makes me wonder just what percentage of people know what is going on and more importantly, who is willing to stand up?
