The “could’ve been worse” BS line has no science behind it. Because it’s been spewed from the blow horns of media and government officials 24/7, people like my parents, believe it. I hate what the liars have done to good people. The liars should have a covid vax drip installed in their veins permanently.

Yeah, it's clear that one lie often reveals others. Work backward from the vaxx lies and see the whole past 30 months have been a lie.

Most of you are not old enough to remember, but even as a child I thought it nonsense that Jack Ruby, about to die of cancer anyway, was able to walk right up to the one person that actually knew the story of the Kennedy assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald, while surrounded by the best security of the day, and assassinate him. Ruby was a small time crook and could have given a damn less about the President being shot. It was clearly a setup (likely CIA but who knows) and they have lied about it for 60 years. Why stop ever?

For many years I thought I was just not understanding something. Sadly, I came to understand that what I was not understanding was the government's intentional lying to the populace, virtually all the time.

Sobering. I am with the group that says if the government says something, assume the opposite and you will be far more likely to be correct.

Congress passed a bill requiring all the JFK materials be released, the date for which happened to fall wi the Trump presidency.

He released a portion but didn’t release it all.

Like you, I pretty much thought the same thing but with all that’s been going on since just before Trump took office and especially now that Biden is in, my eyes have really opened up. I’m sure if the Dems &/or left gets their way, we will never get to see those documents about the JFK assassination.

Correct, because the CeeEyeAy took him out.

Ruby absolutely was a CIA asset - w/I the last year I read quite an eye-opening piece about him and his subsequent trial (and the endless delays resulting in his death before it could take place.)

Just before the trial was to actually happen, a psychiatrist from the University of Oklahoma - who later left OU to run an infamous top secret LSD operation at UCal Berkeley - met with Ruby.

Ruby never spoke again.

There are so many holes in the official 9-11 story, I can't believe I ever bought it.

Just for starters: a plane did not crash in that field in Pennsylvania. We all saw the footage on TV which featured a smoking hole about 15x30 feet, but no debris field, no bodies, no nothing to indicate a plane crashed there, and we somehow believed a plane crashed there? Just because "they" said so. What the hell? That is some serious black magic, man.

It's scary, but also fascinating. How did they do it?

I grew up in a very rural area but I always like to watch people as events unfold. I was living in Brooklyn during 911 and I was in the habit of watching people all of the time especially because I worked in the psychology field at the time.

When I saw the plane hit the building and then the building fall directly into his footprint I was watching people and just saw their shock over the situation. From a psychological standpoint their mind is completely open to be told what is happening by the authorities. They’re basically in a deep delta state.

I then noticed how the news showed the plane going into the buildings the buildings falling into their footprint and then the pictures of the supposed perpetrators. And it was that loop over and over and I watched the expressions on their faces change from the shock to fear and finally anger. I wasn’t surprised when Bush came on with his call for retaliation.

I also noticed how they never showed Ground Zero. Perhaps that’s because the buildings were more powder than anything else. Can’t have (in the masses) memories of how ground zero looked because it certainly wouldn’t look anything like a building that was impacted by a jet and fell. They also hauled it away and cleaned up as fast as they possibly could (To save the American people from pain). Can’t have an untidy crime scene now can we.

Martin Luther King Jr,

"On some positions cowardice asks the question, is it safe?

Expediency asks the question, is it politic?

Vanity asks the question, is it popular?

But conscience asks the question, is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position

that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular

but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."

An update. When I read the transcript of Bush's speech, he appeared to be talking about "other" planned attacks against America, so the quote does appear to have been taken out of context.

That does not explain the many other glaring anomalies in the official story about Sept 11th.

I never previously believed in the "conspiracies", but seeing architects and engineers pick holes in the official story and witnessing the events of the last few years have opened my eyes to what our glorious leaders are capable of and how much they all lie.

The last 2.5 years have made me much more skeptical, but I still can't buy that 9/11 wasn't a foreign jihadist attack. The leaps of logic are too great.

The "leaps of logic" required of us by those who failed miserably that day (if one believes the official story) such as the entire U.S. government, its military, and all its agencies responsible for the defense of this country are easy for you to make, Jon?

If you could take five minutes for a review of that "logic", I offer this: https://youtu.be/ieww8Ws1nDY

Given the stunning failure of the military and other air defense systems that day, naive little me -- still a believer back then -- declared that same day, "Heads are gonna roll for this."

I don’t know what happened that day but a plane did not crash in that field in Pennsylvania. Look back at the original photos from the scene. There is no debris field, not a single scrap of metal. Never before nor since has that happened. Just sit with that for a while. Nothing else. Just that one thing. The leaps of logic required to explain how there was no debris field are too great.

Once you sit with that turn your attention to WTC building 7. It also collapsed that day, and it only had a few small fires smoldering. Watch the footage of it falling and compare it to footage of controlled demolitions.

WTC7 was only the third skyscraper in the world to collapse like that, and it hasn’t happened since. Guess what the other two were?

Again, I don’t know who was behind what happened that day but I do trust the evidence of my own eyes and ears. Believing the official story requires me to ignore all of that.

I also found it hard to accept but after reading some things and the scamdemic, I don't know what to believe anymore. Best to not believe anything from government.

Laura- Another thing I keep thinking about is the "Shoe Bomber" at the airport story. It seemed a bit crazy at the time, but we all bought it because of all the paranoia after 9-11, and because of it, we now have the dept of Homeland Security to thank for the indignities of removing our shoes and having all our liquids sorted out, etc.

Expand full comment

The airport shoe removal ritual serves as psychological prep for further absurdities forced upon the populace such as masking and social distancing as part of Operation Covidia.

It has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with social control of a restive population within a system of vast financial and social inequality.

Thank god they didn't do the same wrt the "underwear bomber!" FYI, an American lawyer named Kurt Haskell observed Abdulmutallab being escorted *past* security.

Director of DHS at the time, Michael Chertoff, had ownership in full body scanner BAE systems and has since held owner stakes and represented both BAE, RapiScan (AKA RapeScan), and others. People call this "security theater," but the "need" for security was invented from the ground up. DHS has never foiled a terror plot, and the only terror incidents to occur have all been CIA false-flags and FBI patsies. It's just a treasury dip, with the added benefit of solidifying control and eroding our rights.

What I think more important with any conspiracy- JFK/911 etc., is that we are free to explore all sorts of theories to our hearts content (there is a cottage industry of intelligence assets doing limited hangouts exposing various government misdeeds and pushing different theories) as long as we don't ever settle on the most obvious and correct theory.

When I think about this response of theirs, my attention keeps turning to the Apocalypse when seal after seal, trumpet blow after trumpet blow, seems only to solidify the wicked in their wickedness. They keep doubling down by refusing to turn and repent of the actions of their hands.

The Mass Formation is seemingly complete: they view their sin and evil as intrinsic to themselves. Moses described this as "having their hearts hardened".

Well, there are indeed studies that purport show vaccination does reduce severity. But it's been the case for many years, even pre-Covid as I know from my immersion in the nutrition science community, that you can pretty much find a 'scientific' study to support whatever position you want. Unfortunately, rather than engaging in some critical thinking and learning how to tease apart the more common statistical manipulation techniques, a lot of people just grasp onto whatever supports their fervent belief system.

On a slightly related topic, I wonder why there isn't more discussion about the fact that, if indeed the shots reduce severity, they could be making the 'pandemic' worse—by encouraging people to be out and about while infected, rather than staying home in bed.

They said it would prevent getting it; they said it would prevent spread; they said it lessened the intensity; they said it was safe.

Turns out they KNEW it didn't prevent getting it or spreading it. They said it was safe has been shown to be false by not only VAERS, but by a litany of different measures and data.

Does it lessen intensity. If all those others are false, then intensity is too.

It was all one big ass lie after another. The best course of action is to avoid the Jab and to open up Nuremberg Trials. But with 72 Senators receiving Pfizer Stash, and like 302 House members receiving receiving Pfizer Bucks, it's not going to happen.

Great piece once again. In my life experience, the most liberating act I have ever discovered, and it took me many years, was the act of just saying I'm sorry, and the simple words, I was wrong. Doing this immediately gives me the upper hand in most social situations. These simple words immediately move any confrontation into a more peaceful resolution. If these people would just say, I was wrong, I was misled, the healing of society would begin. But misplaced pride is a strong deterrent to this outcome.

My cousin and uncle were beasts to me a little over a year ago about their choices and mine being different. I gave up on having any kind of rational conversation with my cousin. After a few months, I reached out to my uncle in hopes that I would get a simple “I was wrong. I’m sorry.” That didn’t come. It still hasn’t come from either one of them. It astonishes me that this is the case. It does not do me any good at all to long for the simple statement to be said to me. I don’t think it will ever come. I don’t understand why, but I’m pretty sure that they will never ever articulate this simple statement. Cousins and uncles are not disposable relationships. It’s heartbreaking.

Something to share with my tribe. It was on Malone’s stack “Sunday Strip” this past Sunday. I know it will resonate with all.

To ALL MY FRIENDS OUT THERE who know what's really going on ... To all my conspiracy realist friends ...

Yes, sometimes it's a curse and not always a blessing to be AWAKE.

Awakening is the most liberating, alienating, excruciating, empowering, lonely, confusing, freeing, frightening, expansive journey.

If you find yourself struggling as you try to process all this insanity, you are not alone.

No one talks about the darkness that accompanies awakening, or the GRIEF. Not only grieving the life and illusions you once had, but the realization that almost everything you thought you once knew, is a LIE.

The beliefs you've held, people you've trusted, principles you were taught- ALL LIES.

Shattering illusions is RARELY an enjoyable experience. There is a considerable amount of discomfort that comes with growth and the grieving process doesn't stop there.

With these newfound realizations, you then find yourself grieving all over again. Grieving for our children, knowing all too well the broken world they are inheriting. Grieving the loss of many relationships with people who just don't "get it".

Feeling alone, being ridiculed and shamed, not only by the masses, but for many of you, your very own family and friends too.

Feeling like you no longer have much in common with the people you are surrounded by. Struggling with carrying on bullshit, shallow conversations that lack substance with those who are still fast asleep.

Even feeling disconnected from your entire support system because they can't see what you see. Some even grieve the loss of their ignorance- because "ignorance is bliss" and reality is harsh. Awakening can be a lonely road and you will often find yourself journeying alone.

There is no way to sugar coat it- Awakening to the realities of this world is brutal. It will have you running through the entire gamut of human emotions.

You have to master the art of diving down the darkest of rabbit holes only to come out and still function in daily life, and that's a skill people don't talk about enough.

Some of you are struggling with feeling disconnected from family and friends, it's as though they exist in another world.

Please know you are NOT ALONE, and not only are you not alone, you have an entire tribe standing with you. We may be separated by miles, but we are DEEPLY connected; in purpose and in spirit

JFly - I just this evening learned that two family members (no shared DNA, but nonetheless "family") have serious health issues. They are a married couple (probably 4 or 5 times jabbed) - one had a kidney cancer diagnosis right after the first shots, now has breast cancer. The other just had an MRI for pancreatic issues (I pray it's not cancer). When they told me, I wanted to fall to my knees. Of course they have no idea. I didn't say anything because until I ran into them today, we had been estranged because of the vaxxed vs. unvaxxed issue. So very hard to hold it all inside. The grief eats away at us, doesn't it?!

It sure does! I have a friend with "turbo cancer". Healthy one week, infection and fevers the next which led to diagnosis of acute leukemia. So sad for him and his family.

Well said Laura. I feel exactly like this. Returning from a company trip today (that sadly was not close enough to NJ to say hello to Mark!). It is very hard to be away with these guys and keep the conversation light and upbeat when I want to raise the roof.

Maybe we have stiffarmed the mandates for now but the craziness is rapidly escaping going into the midterms.

Thanks for posting this, Laura. I read it in Malone’s post, but it was good to read it again. It’s exactly how I feel and do appreciate all the comments of the awake tribe here on Substack - and of course, Mark’s great writing! I think we need to make an effort to find each other in real life. Any Westchester County, NY’ers out there? I’d love to organize meetups.

I don't know. I'm not old but awake since very long time. I questioned 9/11 on the next day it happened. I questioned the fake flu pandemic. I questioned the fake sars/mers pandemic. I always questioned all the wars and democracy exports etc.

What's different now?? That they nearly killed me for questioning it. My job got collapsed. My freedom got limited (it's still due to being unquakcinated). People turned violent against me (family members too and I don't have many...)

This is what hurts and gives me PTSD. Before I was awake and everyone called me a looney but I was able to live my life.

I've been awake regarding the lies government tells us for a very long time. Luckily I had a parent who encouraged us to question, and read a wide variety of alternative news (and this was in the early 60s). I also saw the BS in the first 5 minutes of that footage they kept repeating on 9/11. Even then, friends were appalled that I would question what had occurred. Same with everything you've mentioned Vxi7. Hang in there, get outside and breathe fresh air and walk in nature.

Honestly Mark we are birds of a feather. The world as we knew it is more divided than ever. My family is stilled divided. My son’s friend died while lifting weights at the gym, 25years old. When I tell people what happened they blame an undiagnosed heart condition and then tell me did he have an EKG , or an echo? After I say no they immediately say well it wasn’t the vaccine ( young man had 3 jabs). Why would he have tests he was active , fit and thin , 3rd year med student and dropped dead. Too many people dropping dead. Haven’t they noticed ??? … “It would be a lot worse if I wasn’t vaccinated “.. so sick of their bull * narrative. Great essay and insightful observations as always!🌻

Bro...you're from Highland Park?! I was born in New Brunswick and lived in HP (near Donaldson Park) until I was five. Went back for college and spent four years across the river. I made cash for school by cleaning houses in HP. Good times. One of my favorite small towns ever!

Highland Park, NJ 08904! Wow.

I grew up in Highland Park, on the south side near Donaldson Park, and went to school there from kindergarten all the way through HS.

I've wondered what Covid was like there. I now live in, ahem, San Francisco.... and I cannot imagine that HP measures up on the Covid caution continuum. Or does it?

While leafletting for my campaign as a Medical Freedom Party candidate for NY State Senate, I was confronted by a man holding my flier.

He (scowling): What is this Medical Freedom Party? Is this about vaccines? Are you an anti-vaxxer?

I: We are anti-mandate. We believe people should have a right to make informed medical decisions for themselves.

He (thrusting the flier at me): That's a line in the sand for me. I can't support that!

I (calling to him as he moves quickly away): You can't support people having the right to make informed decisions about their healthcare?

He: Yes, but vaccines aren't about healthcare!

I: Oh, I agree completely!

He: ..... ?! Turns and runs off quickly.

Is the truth breaking through despite all the cognitive dissonance?

Speaking as someone (background in healthcare - both sides,, provision of in early career and supply to later) who had polio and TB vaccination as a child, Smallpox, Yellow Fever, Cholera, Typhoid vaccinations as an adult, but has resisted CoVid products on the grounds of not-needed and lack of evidence of safety & efficacy, I would not hitherto have considered myself an ‘antivaxxer’. However my past experience highlighted by these past two years has exposed the Medical Industrial Complex as the money-making, racket it is, rather than being a true benefit to our health and welfare - I am re-evaluating my position. I wonder how much our triumph over certain diseases is due to the magic bullet - vaccination - and how much due to better sanitation, hygiene, nutrition, education and basic medical care?

I am also of the opinion that there is a link between the obsessive vaccination of children with umpteen vaccines mostly for non-fatal or serious diseases and the significant rise in allergies to foodstuffs and other elements in the environment. The usual brigade like to blame this on ‘additives’, ‘chemicals’, ‘pollution’ but these are nothing new, our ancestors came into contact with plenty of ‘additives’, pollutants and chemicals in former times.

Expand full comment

Another question is how many diseases pinned on infectious disease were actually caused by chemicals, such as DDT. Or if you read the RFK Fauci book, whether the mainstream AIDS narrative has any resemblance to reality.

Covid isn't an isolated case of public health and big pharma malfeasance, it's just the first time many of us ever really paid attention and questioned them.

Expand full comment

"Toxic Legacy" by Stephanie Seneff is a good analysis of the glyphosate biology, chemistry, and epidemiology. I see it as the 2020 equivalent of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" of the early 1960's, since you mention DDT.

I don't think anybody can understand the Covid Scamdemic (Acknowledgement to our host!) without reading "The Real A. Fauci", and I thought I had a fairly good grasp until I worked my way through it.

One of RFK's minor characters is now living nearby and disemployed after declining the ClotShot, as am I, from Oct. 26, 2021, in the realm of Queen Bonnie Henry. ( The Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland was supposed to be fictional!)

Hi Mark. You’re on point once again. A couple of weeks ago I was chatting with one of my wife’s college buddies who is a college professor and researcher in ---- CRISPR research on mice. I let her know I was unvaxxed, that the shot was an untested and scary transfection, and I blamed everyone in the field who should know better. She disagreed, reminded me she was a PhD, ( of course) and to just let it go... that I’d be a much happier person.

Well, hell. I’m pretty damned happy actually. And to keep the peace, I backed off. But I realized something at that moment.:

The transfected will never admit they’ve been damaged. EVER. They will do and think anything to avoid the depression and unhappiness of acknowledging this unhappy fact.

Put it to her.

I have been wanting somebody skilled at CRISPR to develop a method to excise the Spike DNA segments from the injecteds' genomes.

Half the people you meet are below average intelligence. Even nurses and doctors. They appear smart sometimes because they have good memory. Google knows everything but is actually pretty stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. We have an epidemic of stupid. I think the odds are actually greater than half the people.

My hospital hasn’t been too bad. I received a religious exemption without too much drama. I did pay a lawyer for help. Most know the testing is silly at this point though it is continuing. I noticed there was no mention of the Covid booster in the email about the flu shot. Apparently the hospital in Texas that was the first to mandate is not requiring boosters. I’ve heard horror stories about shaming etc but I’ve not experienced that. Most say, “I wish I didn’t get it”. I did get glazed looks when discussing a young male pt with myocarditis and Covid when I mentioned that it’s commonly understood at this point the the shots are causing myocarditis. They just assume it’s from Covid alone. It’s been an opportunity for growth honestly. The system is crumbling. I’ll stay in it as long as I can sanely. It’s amazing to witness.

Meryl Nass's short substack on how hard it is to admit being wrong "because it's just too painful" is also spot on.

Golfed last week with a man who said so plaintively, "I did everything right. I wear a mask everywhere, and last month, I got my 4th shot, and still I got Covid and had to cancel my flight here." (to golf with his brother) It was so painful hearing another first hand account of how brainwashed/deceived people are.

At this point, so many months down the road, there is no convincing and getting the "coulda been worse" crowd to admit that they've irreparably harmed themselves with the jabs. I believe that deep down they know that the jabs harmed them more than they helped anything, but they live in denial, because to admit they were duped is much worse than to live with and keep the lie going. To admit it would also mean they know they've accelerated the remaining time they have on this earth, and most if not all of them are scared to death of death.

I asked my husband.. what do I do? Pray for them to learn the error of their ways? Pray for their health when I think the jab is doing damage day after day? I decided all I could do is pray for wisdom for them and leave it at that.

At my synagogue last week, around the table with the cookies, a woman I know well said to me "Seems like we're having a lot of deaths lately." I replied, "It's the vaccines" She looked horrified, turned on her heel and stomped away. Later, as I was talking with some others, she approached and tried to be nice. I would not have brought that topic up in conversation, but when she did, I felt compelled to give my honest opinion.
