For me it was 2018 when I received horrible advice from “my” oncologist regarding a treatment plan for my stage 4 cancer. oh and he also asked me how I wanted to spend my final days on earth and if I’d discussed it with my family - (told him I wanted to spend my final days on earth walking on his f***ing grave, and never went back to him) Found a more enlightened oncologist (who prescribed traditional stuff) and an integrative physician (who prescribed the non traditional stuff) - researched and read, refused to comply if it didn’t seem in my best interest- I am “cancer free” (are we ever cancer free?) - soon I will be 4 years in remission.

Great, I believe you 100%. But spend that day doing something lovely instead.

Might as well add my story here... I am skeptical at a lower-level. Having had a heart and lung transplant 31 years ago (average survival 7 years) I have had to choose the real medicines and interventions from my experts/consultants and separately turn down and rebuke the additional/fake/excess interventions from the same teams of experts/consultants (usually different individuals). For instance I'd be dead without the initial operation and medicines, created and carried out very scientifically and diligently ...and yet other surgeons would have tweaked at me with knives and meds I had to tell one surgeon to eff off after he gave me "50/50 of lasting through the night" when I'd just researched the secondary pulmonary embolism I had and realised I was pretty good for 99.9% chance at my age and the puncture and ramrod surgery he proposed would probably have a worse risk.

As such, knowing this midwittery of people who are educated but dependent, clever but yet stupid. I tend not to go for the complete big conspiracy narratives and can accept a set of bottom-up problems perhaps mixing with a top-down nefarious set of instructions. After scratching my head at how the majority of courts, institutions, media outlets can almost universally go for a Covid-policy that is palpably unethical if not illegal; a phrase that jumped off the page last year is we're seeing the "hivemind of the beast". I'm not religious per se, but I think the majority of the population have opted to be atheist as some interventionist, sky-hook god isn't cutting it for them. As such they also no longer get a sermon every Sunday, have their morals questioned, have their ethics pricked regularly, read and learn parables of good-nature and good-deeds on a regular basis. And so I wonder if Richard Dawkins argument that we're inherently good and moral is true, or if society has thrown the baby out with the bathwater, and there needs to be some redress to ensure we all behave in better more divine ways, and tackle those that don't in strict yet progressive ways?

I think the Covidism wouldn’t have taken hold so easily and completely had the “spiritual not religious” phenom of twenty years ago not left (a predictable) vacuum where religion once resided in human hearts. The kids who espoused that phrase soon became the “nones.”

GK Chesterton famously said that those who don’t believe in anything will believe in everything instead, and this charade is proof of that. Humans love ritual and having abandoned making the sign of the cross etc, the hunger was there just waiting for replacement rituals, which was easily exploited by the descendants of Edward Bernays.

Dave Cullen in Ireland has pointed out that several generations have been raised in daycare where they’re conditioned to obey non-parental authorities thus priming them to agree to masks/lockdowns without question. I’m over 60, and my mom used the call daycare communism of the “most basic kind” and said Hillary Clinton was what you’d get if Marx had been born female. The notion that it takes a village to raise a child is what made teachers think they needed to influence the sex lives —both future and present—of their elementary school students, as has been shown recently, is simply astonishing to most people, but my parents pulled me from parochial school in 1966, and called the mother superior a “sell out”! The Sisters of Notre Dame were trading their habits for bell bottoms. (Remember Amy Barrett went to Notre Dame Law, and Catholics say that at Notre Dame Law the “ND stands for No Doctrines.”)

If there’s a conservative version of a Red Diaper Baby, I am one. My mom claimed that she had convinced Ronald Reagan to run for governor, and she maybe did.

I first heard the phrase “New World Order” at the breakfast table around 1975.

Because my kids were vaccine injured from the measles portion of the MMR (used to be that it was possible to get them separately and without abortion taint) in 1990, but docs didn’t recognize that they even had a measles rash FROM the vaccine, I was pissed-off early on, and have never lost a sense of deep suspicion. That was only heightened by living in, and around Washington DC for 35 years.

Being someone who was athiest until a few years ago and now consider myself as my self, being an entity that exists as separate from my material being, I am not entirely sure I can agree with you. The reason being is that, While I agree whole heartedly that people, particularly in the last 20 years, since the inception of smart phones and 24/7 everything, have completely lost touch with any form of something greater than themselves. they have been driven to this marxist materialist existence and there appears to be no way back for the majority, who seem to just seem to see them selves as a lump of matter in a nihilistic world, which is almost where I was before a great bout of deep depression made me look for a reason for my unhappiness.

Sorry for rambling, my point is that i don't think spiritualism is the problem, but I do think that this corporate spiritulism IS the problem, or corporate love as I like to call it. I could never get with all this modern meditation (having tried it for months and realising it was all bollocks), where you can meditate your way to success. It's all such wankery and flies directly in the face of true spiritualism and detatchment.

WTC 7. Watching a 47 story steel framed structure implode into dust on 9/11, despite the fact nothing struck it. Just as now, critical questions by the media were never asked, much less pursued. It was very obvious someone very powerful was spoon feeding a bogus narrative to a largely brain dead American populace.

I worked at Building 7. Never occured to me it was dynamited...but in the years after I started to wonder. Now I am convinced it was blown.

It was, famously, the only steel framed skyscraper to collapse due to office fires. How did that happen? Oh, well the NIST models shows how. But you can't see their source code. Just like you can't see Pfizer's clinical trial data.

I used to stand outside under the Calder sculpture out front, and say "I hope they can get their money back"

I do not in any way claim my theory to be an original, but I don't recall seeing it anywhere before. Here goes:

WTC was obviously wired for explosives in advance of 9/11 as was WTC 1 and 2. I believe UA Flight 93 that went down in Pennsylvania on 9/11 was meant for WTC 7. It was to strike WTC 7 and then be taken down with explosives hours later just like 1 and 2.

Whether due to passenger interference, or being shot down, that never happened because the plane crashed. Knowing the entire area was a huge crime scene, they couldn't allow the building to stand and have the explosives throughout the building discovered. That would destroy the entire narrative of some misfits with boxcutters acting alone.

In the words of the building's owner Larry Silverstein, the decision was made to "pull it."

This might be a bit far down the rabbit hole for many, and i'll admit to struggling to beleive it myself, but given the way the buildings just seemed to disintegrate, and tie in to this, I just find it incredible that they could wire 3 huge buildings for perfect detonation demolition without this being discovered before the day, I end up at the directed energy weapon theory. It doesn't sit well with me, as it makes me question my own sanity, but thats where I am.

What I learned from studying the JFK assassination is part of the plan is to have tons of red herrings and fake theories and to use controlled opposition to confuse.

There have even been official hints that it was "pulled" down. Been a while since I've looked into it but it struck me as one of the onion layers that was permitted to be pulled back. Similar to the official hints that the Saudis were more involved in the attacks than originally admitted. The building was filled with intelligence agencies and built to be a command bunker so it would make sense there was a self-destruct button. It also serves as a limited hangout, or partial truth, since they can "admit" there was an intentional demolition but not have to admit any funny business with the towers.

I have other explanation. It was not an inside job, but the official version is a lie. It has happened many times in history, the police does not find a responsibe and they just made up a story. Or, worse, they made up a story that is useful for them in order to achieve other goals.

Engineers for 911 Truth are pretty convincing. Bursts of smoke coming out from each floor just before that floor collapses. The third building imploding on its own. Supposedly no evidence of plane parts in the rubble.

Expand full comment

There are too many coincidental things that were related to 911 for me to believe that the narrative came from wanting a simple answer to what happened. Look into what court cases and files were located in both building 7 and the area of the Pentagon that was hit (and the fact that the area that was hit was the furthest from where the plane was coming from so it made zero sense that they would have circled around to hit there when they were obviously in danger of being shot down any second).

Expand full comment

I am not super familiar with all the story around 911. But I have seen that sometimes my simple explanations solve the question. A simpler case is the Amanda Knox's story, pure lies. Or Maddie McCann.

In 911 I find stupid that the official version is that some people learnt to pilot a small plane, and the day after they were able to hit a super slender building with a super big plane that has to be difficult to control for sure.

We in Spain had something similar with a terrorist attack in 2004. The official version is a lie. It was used to change the outcome of the elections that were to be held 3 days after.

I am posting verbatim my response to eugyppius when he (or she) had a similar thread in early Jan. It was a stream of consciousness screed sent while I was sitting through another pointless conference call, so it is a bit disjointed.

I'm a cynic, shaped by my youth. My 4th grade teacher was a pedophile and the school tried to cover it up while he was touching my friends, two preachers at my Baptist church were caught with their pants down with parishioners, and my Boy Scout troop leader was caught lying about his own Eagle Scout accomplishments. My wife works with autistic children and the studies and trends from that part of Healthcare are ridiculous, I trust no one. With this COVID scam, first, only 20% of the Diamond Princess cruise ship ended up getting sick when confronted by a "novel" virus, then the lack of people collapsing in the street was another major red flag, and the fact that only the old and infirm suffered severe illness made this obvious to me the whole thing was a Plandemic. Add in my own personal research on coronaviruses during lockdown, the lack of effective coronavirus vaccines in the past, the past studies on mask efficacy and the flip flop by Noble Liar Fauci, the "Warp speed" bs, it was obvious to those who looked at the information dispassionately that the world was under assault from a massive pyschops. However, I am an engineer, my life revolves around reading studies and understanding statistics, I'm not surprised most people lack the ability to comprehend was is being published and how many studies and "analysis " are gamed. I was surprised by the Press, though. Until I dug into the Bill and Melida Gates Foundation, and the amount of Pharma advertising dollars, then it is obvious. Twitter and FB are now obviously owned by the Deep State and have been since at least 2016, but the rest of the press folding is nothing but amazing to me, they literally have no soul.

Wish I had your brain. I have to rely on a few courses I took in understanding statistics and analyzing studies...and I often forget what the P value means so have to look it up. So I read lots of analysis from people like you whose brains are much better than mine before I put trust in any study.

I cut my teeth on the massive amount of corruption and profiteering and Pharma con jobs back in 2004 with the Avian Flu hoax. They tried the same play, with mostly the same cast of characters, in 2009/10 with the swine flu hoax.

I spent a lot of time in both instances trying to alert people throughout the community to the realities of these frauds. Each time there was tremendous push back followed by acknowledgement that these were indeed scams. However it seems that there is a bizarre psychotic thirst for this hysteria in our present culture as after each fraud was proven it only needed a few years passing for these very same folks to become ready to accept a new one.

Once you have explored the details of these frauds it is easy to identify the scam as it is happening.

The playbook is pretty much the same, they simply refine the techniques. Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7.

I have to say that the "messaging" is far more comprehensive, insidious and sophisticated with Operation Covidius than all others before by quantum leaps.

That and they produced the cadavers this time through an array of medical democides (remdesivir, neglect, midazolam, ventilators, etc.) which solidified the fear mechanisms in the masses.

It's breathtaking really to witness the grip of fear this had and still has on millions and a vast number of these people will be damaged for life. The shadow of this psychosis will follow them to their graves. This is particularly true among the "educated" classes who now have a warped sense of purpose beyond the dull, aimless wanderings of Academia.

As for the Covid™ fable of 2020 itself, it was and is a nasty lie- all of it from top to bottom. All of the exaggerated and repeated fear-based messages from the media and government agencies this past year were just part of the advertising campaign for the pharmaceutical industry’s newest lucrative product- mRNA “vaccines” which they plan to roll out as new medical “miracle cures” for a variety of “ailments”, e.g. new line of “cancer vaccines.”

Every single one of the media bullhorns that were blasting the Covid fiction for the past year have direct financial ties to Pharma Inc. It’s not exactly accurate to say Pharma uses its power to influence the news- more to the point it is Pharma that writes the script. Pharma and it’s investors own “the news” and you will speak the Pharma gospel if you wish to maintain your position of privilege- it goes without saying.

And when we speak about Pharma this cannot be separated out from the investor class who rakes in oceans of taxpayer wealth through numerous Pandemic Ponzi Schemes with Pharma as it’s “offering” and its Trojan Horse.

"Covid-19" is a business plan not a medical emergency. Now more than ever it’s important to understand the economics of vaccines. Traditional systems of vaccine procurement and distribution are rapidly giving way to vast public–private supply chains. Despite annual revenues approaching US$1 trillion, the industry has been unable to reverse a declining rate of profit and finds itself in a perpetual state of crisis.

In Fall/Winter of 2019 all stocks of Big Pharma companies were in steep decline. This changed dramatically in Spring 2020 as we now know. The experimental gene therapy mRNA drugs are set to become the most lucrative drugs in medical history. Pharma depends on its “blockbuster drugs” to remain profitable and appealing to investors. It is not an exaggeration to say that without these “blockbuster drugs” the Pharma industry implodes.

What happened in 2020 was simply that the flu was re-branded and repurposed- the term "Covid-19" was invented to turn the seasonal virus into the equivalent of the mythical “Al-Qaeda” meaning to terrorize the population with the false construct of a boogeyman.

This was done as the Western economies were in total free fall in late 2019 and the plan to digitize the economies of The West had to be rushed through lest the collapse be seen for what it was- the by-product of decades of Ponzi schemes by the Wall St. parasites and their allies.

The Virus™ is superfluous, just like the Swine Flu scamdemic of 2009. All they needed to do was create the perception of a pandemic/mass panic with staged Hollywood productions, doomsday models, and the fraudulent PCR test to manufacture the cases/falsely attributed as “Covid deaths.”

"Covid-19" deaths follow the same age/risk stratification and seasonal curve of flu/pneumonia at the same time that flu inexplicably vanished from the face of the earth while all pneumonia deaths were suddenly called “Covid” using mass death certification fraud.

Without the fear-mongering propaganda campaign no one would’ve noticed anything unusual about the last two flu seasons because there was nothing unusual, except for the criminal, murderous, and utterly unscientific lockdown policies in response to the non- existent threat.

Thanks for hitting this nail on the head. If covid wasn't planned, it certainly provided an immensely "convenient" cover for hundreds of billions of dollars in financial bailouts and massive economic consolidation in the hands of the big 3 hedge funds. The vast majority of which went entirely unreported thanks to covid terror.

John Titus and a handful of others have joined these particular dots, but even the covid skeptic community has still spent the vast majority of its time knocking down the strawmen of the medical establishment, rather than digging into the deep background of events. Reminds me of early 9/11 Truth crap actually; let's obsess about holographic missiles and laser beams instead of looking at the links between Bush and the Saudis or Israel and the neocons, that sort of thing.

I think a certain fondness especially among American Republicans who make up the preponderance of covid skeptics to blame "the left" for it all (and yes, the left has TRULY sucked throughout all this) has distracted us all from the fact it was most likely all cooked up Jackson Hole and Langley, Virginia.

I began to get involved in politics after realizing our country was in trouble. I kept hearing that 9/11 was an inside job. I thought they were nuts and conspiracy theorists. Finally, I set out to prove they were wrong, only to prove to myself that I had be deceived. After weeping mournfully for several months, my world view began to crumble. I began to question everything I thought I knew, the preverbiale rabbit hole.

In the process, I have discovered the lies within psychiatry, with their toxic medications which actually cause chemical imbalances, thanks in part to Dr. Peter Breggin's informative books and website. The truth about allopathic medicine, cancer ( see "The Truth About Cancer" docu series) and the vaccines. This was such an eye opener, having been a nurse who had totally bought into it all.

I could go on and on about the myth of overpopulation, climate change, GMO's, chemtrails, false flag attacks, the federal reserve, UN Agenda 21/2030, the false left/right paradigm, our public education system, etc... Needless to say, I knew from the beginning of the plandenic that it was a scam.

I have as long as I can remember been sceptical of the pharma industry. I have never had a flu shot. I have had the routine vaccinations for tetanus etc.

My gut has always been my guide and my inner voice screamed at me. Never take any flu shot.

I was almost seduced by the narrative, thinking well everyone is getting the jab maybe I’m a fringe nut case. So I delved into the data, or lack of data and lack of well structured trials. I continued to come back to a not for me conclusion.

Neighbors and friends were pushing against my stance. My husband was my rock and agreed that this shot wasn’t safe.

I can’t really speak to anyone who has had the shot because I feel so frightened for them and don’t want to scare them, but I’m growing more worried as the real time data and adverse numbers pour in. 300% increase in miscarriage and so many other categories of adverse events starting to show up.

I did try to sway some of my closest friends away from the jab but they said “Why would the government try to hurt us? It makes no sense.”

My response was the testing hasn’t been rigorous enough especially since this is such new technology.

I hope I’ve been wrong all along and don’t have to bear witness to my loved ones, friends and community suffer after effects from the rushed vaccinations. Stay safe and take care of your body.

I feel the same way. I have been suspicious of the flu shot because the people who I know took it, always seemed to be sick with something each winter. I was confident with my immune system and dealt with Omicron very easily.

I was suspicious right from the beginning, even “two weeks to flatten the curve” didn’t make sense to me, but then I thought, OK let’s go along. Shortly afterwards when the death reports came out and it was clear that it was affecting the elderly, I thought ‘OK, now we know where to focus our attention’; but they shut schools down instead. Then when the Great Barrington Declaration came out and I saw the credentials of the authors, I thought ‘thank god, ok this ship will right itself.’ When the GBD was trashed instead, then I was certain that something bad was happening. I couldn’t understand why everyone in my country was going along with the narrative and still is. I live in Canada. The propaganda bashing of the truckers convoy has me weeping.

those increases thankfully are off a low base level. And looking at usmortality.com filtered for younger, healthy age group it looks like the vaccine deaths are subsiding quickly. As long as a series of boosters isn't slated, fingers crossed, people have got through it without a significant percentage of severe side-effects. emphasis fingers crossed, they're in an experiment.

I worked as an aid worker in Africa and Middle East. In both places there were issues that surprised me as what I saw I didn’t expect to see. In South Lebanon in 1995 I went to visit a project that was helping women with PTSD. The women lived under Israeli occupation and were regularly bombed. One woman started talking about a bomb falling - it had large pieces of shrapnel snd one piece beheaded her small son. I suffered trauma as a result of just listening to her and I can still see her face as she was talking. About the same time I saw the new graves at Qana after bombs had stuck a bomb shelter killing over 100 people many of them children. The UN tried to stop the story getting out but eventually a peacekeeper gave a video to Robert Fisk who reported it in the Times. Because the story got out Boutros Boutros Ghali didn’t get a second term as Secretary General of the UN. I started to read and investigate because I thought that there must be a reason I could understand to explain why my government was not supporting the Lebanese. Eventually I came to realise that my British government did evil things. Once you have looked over the parapet you cannot turn back. Sometimes I think life would be simpler if you didn’t understand but I’d rather be where I am now.

I once went to a lecture on Lebanese politics and the lecturer said that if we think we understand Lebanese politics after he finished his talk then he hadn’t described the situation properly! Lebanon is a complicated entity

In fairness to Thomas Friedman, in his book From Beirut to Jerusalem, he does describe a chaotic and confusing environment with lots of random acts of violence.

One interesting tidbit re Lebanon is that Obama's maternal grandfather was likely in the intelligence service after WWII and stationed in Lebanon.

I also find Nasrallah's speeches interesting: https://thesaker.is/nasrallah-the-saudi-regime-is-the-source-of-terrorism-in-the-middle-east/ (not that I endorse our official government enemies, but I'm a free speech advocate and I think we should hear what our enemies are saying--same thing during the Syrian war, interesting how we never heard from Assad directly).

The total trashing of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration followed by the censoring and shaming of Prof Byram Bridle, a professor of vaccinology after he went on TV and explained that a big mistake had been made with the vaccines as the spike protein did not stay put in the shoulder muscle but travelled throughout the body. This has since been confirmed by Prof Bakhdi. These are ethical scientists not conspiracy theorists. So that and the ongoing censorship and silencing of many like Dr Peter McCullough and the founders of the Canadian Covid Care alliance and the FLCCC. My lifelong scepticism comes from my mother's experience - she was offered Thalidomide by her doctor and refused. And we know how Thalidomide worked out.

It was whist at uni studying pharmacology that I reasised all medicine did was treat symptoms NOT causes.

This led me to a real journey of discovery.

I’ve lived 40+ years without any antibiotics/ antifungals/ ibuprofen/ paracetamol etc.

the terrain theory really works in practice.

Here is an article Iwrote in May 2020.

Research terrain theory vs germ theory.

Most who have died from the virus have had comorbidities.

Many of which are almost totally preventable (eg type 2 diabetes - £20 billion yearly spend).

Pre the pandemic we were spending £142 billion on the NHS. Despite this every chronic disease numbers are rising. 1:2 getting cancer, 1:5 children getting eczema.... I could go on and on ....

Big pharma has highjacked health. You are no good to them if you are really well or dead. Where they want you is in the middle- managing your condition because thats how you make money....( I speak from personal professional experience of 38+ years on this)

Most doctors get 7-8 hours of nutrition tuition in their 7 years of training..., and you still hold them to be knowledgable in that!

BACTERIA / FUNGI / VIRUSES ETC....

ARE THEY THE ONLY THING YOU NEED FOR DISEASE?

If you are a gardener or know a good one they will know compost makes plants grow well.

What turns your kitchen scraps onto compost?

Bacteria & fungi!

So tell me why the VERY SAME organisms in intimate contact with your plants don’t destroy your plants, seeds & seedings?

If its the presence or absence of bacteria then ofcourse they are VERY present in the compost!

I feel qualified professionally & personally as someone who hasn’t had ANY antibiotics or anti fungals or anti i virals since 1979 and I know lots of others also who live by the rules that exist in nature!

Eg a chunk of cucumber left from your lunch put on the compost heap will rot and become compost in a few months.

Bacteria and fungi make that possible.

You take the compost and plant cucumber seeds in it where the bacteria and fungi are in intimate contact with the plant and not only do they not destroy the plant but actually nourish it ( as every good gardner knows).

So why are the very bugs that destroyed your chunk of cucumber not destroying your cucumber plant?

Want to know why? Its the terrain theory!

Cucumber on the compost heap is dying and nature needs it being composted.

Your cucumber plant is growing and there is no need to finish it off.

Lower forms of life eg bacteria, fungi etc are here to return things back to earth that need returning.

They are not out to get you only to do their job. If you have lived in a way that you have become toxic then there is a job for the “germs” to return your unwanted junk back to the soil. There is actually symbiosis! ( a jain principle in action).

Ofcourse if you are grossly toxic then at some point nature may say that the whole of you needs returning back to the soil.

Ditto when your life force is spend as in old age and your time comes to depart into the next world.

Microbiome research is basically just "terrain theory" re-emerging as the new frontier of science. Later they will probably discover a similar role for the humane virome for the immune system. Get enough vitamin D and the viruses that did you harm are doing you good by acting as training for your immune system. Potentially an even more sophisticated, not to mention safer, approach than targeted vaccinations for every high risk disease - but less profitable.

I’ve been wondering this so much as well, thanks for starting this discussion. I think I was primed to be skeptical because of a dangerous medical error that occurred during childbirth, we were initially lied to and that made it clear to me that advocating for informed health choice is imperative. The big red flags came with the abusive, coercive rhetoric coming from politicians and trickling down into community discourse. Also as a survivor of assault as a woman I’ve found that discerning abuser tactics is necessary for navigating this world. All sorts of alarms starting going off. After that it was all down hill.

The pivotal point that brought about a shift in my worldview was the 2016 election of Donald Trump. I was as surprised as the rest of the world at his election. I didn’t vote for him, primarily due to his personality and what I considered to be a lack of qualifications for the office, the two qualities that most likely got him elected. Anyone watching the mainstream media in the US the day after the election watched grown men and women wailing and sobbing uncontrollably in front of the cameras, en masse and all day long(and the next day), just as if they had all been informed of the loss of their entire families to a tragic accident. Two days later that unconsolable grief turned into uncontrollable rage, again in front of the cameras, as if there had been a discovery that the tragic accident had instead been a serial murder, and the name of the perp was known to everyone. The uncontrollable rage lasted for 4 years and I believe continues to this day. It was accompanied by a massive campaign to unseat a duly elected President using the full powers of the deep state government working in collusion with the mainstream media and, increasingly, corporate America. This represented a seismic change in the nature and character of the US that I had known for over 60 years.

What I witnessed during election week 2016 was the start of an awakening that prompted a deep reflection on a new reality which was in fact an old reality that had now been “outed”. It was much more than a reflection on the Donald Trump phenomenon, which per se was always just a side show. The real issue was what was really going on and who was behind it? What had really occurred was that America’s enemies had been forced out of the closet by Donald Trump and his populist movement. What Barack Obama had tried to accomplish clandestinely was now open warfare.

Fast forward to 2020. A bio weapon released by the Chinese and co-developed with the US. A global plandemic. A Coup. A globalist elite conspiracy to destroy national sovereignty and freedom using medical tyranny, fear and propaganda. All a continuation of what began to be revealed by the election of 2016 in the US.

I run most of what I hear through my personal BS detector, a list of reasonable questions to evaluate what I heard. In this case it broke the machine! I was pre-med in college but did not go to med school but have always had an interest in infectious diseases. I read books on Yellow Fever, Ebola, Spanish Flu, AIDS and most recently Polio, since I wanted a better context and prospective on Covid. For example, "the novel coronavirus". What do I know about this? Corona viruses were some of the first viruses imaged in the 1930's so there is good information on these viruses. The novel thing I was not sure of so I did more online research. Info was thin on the "novel" at the time but this only interested me more to do more research on this. As per the "millions will die" I knew then that this was BS in an unprecedented way. This is not Spanish flu, this is not 1918, we do not have a world war going on, we do not have millions displaced by conflict and we have modern medical care. (little did realize at the time that this was the same system that was fanning the flames of "we're all going to die") Then my research for "novel" came across some of the first info that this was man made. Then the lying Dr Fauci showed up on my TV screen just like he did during the AIDS epidemic. I started calling him Dr Showboat during the AIDS epidemic since he loved the camera and actually said nothing about the disease or transmissibility. Then I knew, really knew, this was going to go badly. Then they started reporting "cases" Cases, without a context? Made no sense to me since the proper metric is % of positives against number tested. The media loved this and jumped on board to scream and terrify innocent people and children that did not know any better. Masking, social distancing lockdowns all made no sense and did not have any scientific basis, I knew because I looked and researched beyond the crap the media was spewing and they did not even bother.

I began to tell people that this really was BS and offered reasoning instead of hysteria. I became the lunatic, the crazy denier, I could see it in their eyes. What does he know that CNN does not? He is crazy. Since then I have written off some friends and family that went lunatic, they seem to want to be terrified and terrified their children and not look any further into it. To those of my good friends and family I am now hearing that I was right and I thank them with a smile.

I am now telling them about the vaccine lies. Onward with the truth!!

I am a natural skeptic, or maybe I just trust what I see with my own eyes, so I never bought any of this at all. I also have an incredibly narcissistic, gaslighting, cruel father so it feels like what has been done all over the world is what my father did to our family my entire life, which is maybe why I’m so infuriated. My mother has dementia and has been in a memory care home since May 2019. Before Covid, it was a really good answer , for her care, to get her away from my father, and the staff was really excellent. And then Covid hit, they shut down, and I truly feel like humanity towards others just absolutely died. I knew something was wrong w my Mom when I would call, she stopped doing the things she loved all of a sudden, became wheelchair bound, incontinence, very non verbal, and it was very fast, too fast for just dementia progression. My mother had Covid late Dec 2020, and then was force vaccinated by my Dad in Feb 2021. I had questions about natural immunity, overloading her immune system so soon w a vaccine after a natural infection, not to mention MRNA and a rushed untested vaccine. She had 5 falls in 7 days after being vaccinated. And even after every resident in the facility was vaccinated, they still wouldn’t open back up. It took me over 3 months of fighting w county/state health, the Governor and the national director of the care home company to be able to see her in person. The mother I found had lost 50 lbs, had been medicated so heavily she had tremors, how she did not die I will never know. In that year closed away from us her 5 carat Tiffany engagement ring that she NEVER took off went missing, but we were never told, I don’t even think they noticed. I was threatened by the staff if I tried to touch her I would be denied access again. And my father excoriated me for pushing to see her and making “everyone’s life more difficult”. I was thankfully able to get her on hospice care immediately for severe protein malnutrition, but that year of isolation and inhumanity has done its damage along w dementia. Combine that with fighting for a daughter who works in healthcare to get a religious exemption and still be able to work, as well as a son in the military who was quite literally force vaccinated with no chance to even file an exemption or have informed consent, and then deployed, trapped on a carrier out to sea and forced to be boosted, then thrown in confinement a week later when he and his entire crew tested positive with no symptoms, and I am just trying to fight back in every way I can, by being informed, relentless and unafraid.

I really woke up in 2016 when President Trump ran for office. I watched his speeches which were full of hope, optimism, and common sense, and then watched/read the MSM and saw how vastly different they portrayed what he said. Then the Podesta emails on Wikileaks happened and I heard Jake Tapper tell us that it was illegal for us to read Wikileaks, that we had to let journalists read it and tell us what was in it. Then I heard Mika on Morning Joe say that it was the journalists job to tell us what to think. And that was the end of that - no more listening to the MSM for me.

A quick summary of myself and also of my girlfriend waking up:

I've always been skeptical of anything in this CRAPitalist system, so the convid was clear after a few days, seeing the average age of death being around life expectancy. The toilet paper wars was also quite dumb, a self fulfilling prophecy.

911 inside job, jfk was not killed by Oswald, guldf of Tonkin was a lie, ww1 was a setup, and so on. It only seems crazy to those that don't believe that powerful people lie, cheat, and steal.

The only new thing was learning that virology is a fraud. A bit of a shock but it did explain a lot of the confusion I had seen over decades of that 'science'. https://viroliegy.com/

My girlfriend woke up , got off the fence when she saw the highwire interview with physician assistant Debra Conrad and the broken vaers system! That made her realize that there's no honest safety reporting, which skewed her view of the clot shots.

These days we have fun spotting the fake news and moronic narratives 🤑 🦠🤡🌎

The WMD story didn't sound quite right at the time, but I never looked into it. In 2006 a friend gave me a dvd copy of Loose Change and my mind was blown. After that I started going down the federal reserve/fiat currency rabbit hole. Then found James Corbett. I thought after all of that my brain was immune from the mind blowing.

Soon after Trump was elected I read Code Red: Computerized Election Theft and the New American Century, and once again had that hugely disorienting feeling. For whatever reason I found the revelations in that book the most disturbing that I had found to date. There were a few very dark years for me that followed until I was able to yank myself out, at least partially.

In my mind, in many ways the covid fiasco is child's play compared to some of the other things I've learned over the years. I now mostly just stay informed as a form of amusement. People ask why I don't watch tv and I say real life is much more interesting/entertaining.

It started in two stages for me: circa 2000 when U.K. government changed the legislation around small one man companies (as disguised employees), the legislation drafted being so bad that its been 20+ years of arguing in the courts (not that MPs or governments cared that this destroyed small firms - despite the endless sound bites to the contrary). Second stage was when for fun I thought I would laugh at climate warming deniers websites and soon realised that the models the whole climate change agenda its based on are crap! And do not describe a multi-variate problem, plus the 97% scientific consensus is a load of !! That meant when Covid came around I was primed to look for the evidence and detail to question the narrative. It didn’t take long (March 20) to realise it was rubbish and that I would be following the same independent and uncomfortable track as before.

Generally at work I’m the trouble shooter and not the most welcome of engineers on any given job.

🤔…. My grandparents fled communism (Russia)and my other set from Czechoslovakia, near the turn of the century. I heard many stories before they passed away . They were so happy to be here, but suspicious along with my parents. As a little girl JFK was killed and further confirmed be careful of the government. Various incidents, Vietnam war, my sister and brothers’ friends never came back and if they did some were not right. and then 911. My father saw the smoke from New Jersey, called me and said Your world with never be the same , I am old but be careful. He served in Ww2 and before he died he spoke how he was always haunted by the Japanese planes and the bombs. I ended up in medical research which has some shady stuff As we all know now.

Medical school then private practice. Drug reps, big pharma, referrals from doctors who expect your loyalty, scammy hospitals and their contracts . Then this. I have sons in medical school, they have heard the stories as well. I am old now and told them to be careful. This pandemic bullshit is the opposite of what I have been taught in medical school and am saddened because many doctors know better but as always follow the money 💰💰💰💰.

My daughter’s first reaction to a vaccine as a child was an eye opening experience. I have always been skeptical by nature, and all of the events happening over the past 3-4 years have made me question everything. Recently though, we tried to get a medical exemption for our daughter for these jabs because of her previous reactions. Even my cousin who is a doctor wouldn’t give her an exemption and sent her to an allergist to be tested for reactions to known jab ingredients. The allergist who would only speak to us in a whisper in the exam room told us she was afraid to give exemptions and was retiring soon to avoid all of this. She gave my daughter prednisone and an epi pen to take with her to her jab appointment. My doctor cousin and his doctor wife proudly announced they had vaccinated their 13 year old son before there were any EUAs for children. I thought he was “smart.”If anything, people now know that doctors are not all intelligent. Doctors are brainwashed or scared to lose their livelihoods. Doctors need to refuse to go along with this insanity. What doctor actually believes there is no natural immunity? Patients believe their doctors .It all stops when the doctors stop complying.

For me it was having slightly elevated cholesterol and being told by my doctor it was likely I would need statins. I started looking into it and found the science regarding carbohydrates, elevated blood sugar and heart disease. I tried the keto diet (following heavily science based people and their research) and then morphed to an unprocessed, low carb approach. The impact on my health was profound. I am, at 42, now in better shape than I was in my early 30's. The certainty from my doctor that fat and cholesterol were the problem and then seeing the research that countered that, and my own results made me much more sceptical of current medicine. That was my first peek behind the curtain and it has only expended since then.

Do you have any recommend books, studies, etc... that have helped with your knowledge on cholesterol and statins?

I know they will never research themselves but if I spoon feed them the info they may finally take control of their health.

Vaccine injured child. Medical freedom mama who spent time fighting childhood vax mandates at the state level in 2019. At which time the relationship between vaccine manufacturers and democrat party politicians became crystal clear. They know the harms they are causing and they don't care. Party loyalty is of the utmost importance. They lie to our faces and there seems to be little consequence (so far). Incidentally, most of us mamas were registered Dems at the time and most, if not all, dropped that affiliation very quickly. When SARS COV2 hit, medical freedom mamas knew exactly what was happening.

Just this plandemic, but I knew there were other systems working long ago. For now, I'll stay with the plandemic.

I knew after two weeks the whole thing was a lie or rather there was a hidden agenda. My wife asked me how I knew? First, when I actually figured out the percentages vs beds in the hospitals did not equate and the percentage of people with covid vs population in the state. Often the two weren't anywhere close to one another. When they got caught every time the correction only went one direction. Physics doesn't work that way. When fluctuations happen they happen both directions. When it only fluctuates one way? It's malfeasance. The biggest tell? Intelligent people don't speak the way they do. Intelligent people speak in terms of keeping people calm example :" we don't have all the answers, but are diligently working on it ", but what we were hearing was information that would constantly keeping you on your toes or your heels. Constantly off balance. Intelligent people speak in terms of attempting to keep people calm. Otherwise you run the risk of destabilizing societies.

Then came the mask mandates. It's amazing how many people still fall for this nonsense. The idea that wearing a pair of underwear on your face or two would be better is absolute horse shit. It even says so on the back of the product. Lastly - censorship. Censorship and the methods they call for are designed to strip citizens rights- nothing more

I feel like I have always had a little bit of skepticism built in (especially re:govt). I was actually taught history in school and there are so many examples of govt going wrong (not room here to list). I am especially skeptical when govt offers things for "free" and really pushes it too. Started, for me, I think, with the flu shot. I thought they were pushy then... This is way worse! And as Adam Corrola recently said, "What have you guys been right about?". If we all go the same way (putting all our eggs in one basket!), and they're WRONG, what then? People have capacity (and right) to make their own decisions, what they believe is best for them after weighing all the risks and benefits, and then they have to accept and live with the results of those choices. That is life, and that is freedom! Yes, even the freedom to be wrong (but it was your choice, no one else's). Read Thomas Sowell. And let us "live not by lies" (another great book!)

the Lewis Carol quote about preferring a tyrant to a benevolent authority has been doing the rounds as it resonates so much.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

I was awakened when I was 18 and heard a sound bite from 1970 from Ted Kennedy telling a group of senior citizens that the republicans wanted to take away their social security.

They never did any such thing nor want to and it’s been like that my entire life. Lies and fear and fear and lies to get what they want done.

They’ve been infiltrated by communists who play the long game and are trying to bring this country down. Looking at the unchecked wholesale open borders in Mexico tells you everything.

Them never needing Covid tests. These illegals being shuttled around the country daily to all parts and corners of this country. They are given money and ID’s and they are taking over little by little.

Covid was a scam from the very beginning because of the whole preposterous narrative they tried to sell.

Jumping from a bat at a wet market. Straining to believe anything the Chinese put out there. Bending over backwards to always make excuses for Covid and masks and social distancing when they are proved to not work.

The whole thing is a farce

I worked for the Department of State for many years - I know I should have resigned but I stayed until retirement

I remember reading a CIA report (now easily obtained from wikileaks) in 1992 that claimed that the president of Haiti, Aristide, had been in a mental institution in the early 1980s. Only years later did I learn Aristide had never even been in Canada at the claimed time frame. Aristide was overthrown in a coup in 1991 and it became clear to me that the CIA reported falsehoods in order to create the illusion that foreign policy decisions were justifiable. Later I was working at the Embassy in Managua and I can remember seeing the leading opposition presidential candidate leaving the ambassador's office. The night of the election as the vote counts began the Embassy issued a decree claiming voter fraud. It became obvious that Ortega had legitimately won the election.

My first realisation that there was something amiss in this world came when Kennedy was killed and there have been many instances since that have confirmed it. As far as covid was concerned I found it incredibly suspicious that the government were willing to pay 80% furlough payments to people. Totally bizarre 🤷🏻‍♀️

I started to wake up during the Obama presidency. I expected things to change but it just seemed the same It felt like we had a one party system the Dems and Republicans seemed to be the same. Then covid hit and a month into it I called bullshit on the whole thing. The messaging coming from Fauci and others was so vague and inconsistent and they were doing nothing for early treatment. Not to mention some states forcing covid positive patients into nursing homes, the most vulnerable to this disease. Why wasn’t this stopped? It was never about public health it seemed to be about control and a higher death count put more fear into the public. The censorship is inexcusable. There’s no discussion just shut down anyone who disagrees. No discussion. Now, my eyes are wide open, I see it clearly and I will remain aware and awake and will fight back on whatever level I can. This has been pure evil.

I got Lyme disease. It became chronic. The only doctor to help me was one that they tried to get his license taken away. When Didier Raoult came out with HCQ and Zpak, and was ignored, coupled with Fauci getting in front of Trump fast enough to make your head spin to say HCQ was dangerous/unproven, I knew it was a lie. HCQ and Zpak are used for chronic Lyme. on it for years. Until another combination of antibiotics pretty much got me back to somewhat normal...but I knew HCQ is not dangerous. I also knew Ivermectin not dangerous. and when they took down that Indian paper re: finding a furin cleave and HIV in February within 24 hours, knew it was a bioweapon. Planned.

Any chance that was in Boston when Steere and his underling sabotaged Dr Donta? He got me off a picc line/IV antibiotics that were not working. He put me on HCQ bc he said it aided the abx into the cell. I had an allergic reaction (certainly not deadly or dangerous) so he switched it to Amantadine for the same purpose and I recovered fully after being told I would never recover and to stop seeking treatment. Here is the irony, decades later I was put on Levaquin for PNA which not surprisingly it turns out it is deadly and causes mitochondrial toxicity and it is still on the market....safe and effective according to the corrupt criminals. Dr Donta like the many helping during this debacle was a life saver to thousands. There are so many same shit different decade stories. Glad to hear you got better

No, but he sounds like a good honest doctor. The International Lyme Disease committee has tried their damndest to get every Lyme literate doctor de=licensed..it was going on for years here in New England and New York....and you know what he told you about HCQ is correct...it does help get the abx into your cells and helps get zinc in also. Yup Levequin I have had experience with it also does something to your tendons and they give out! Glad you got treatment. Hope you are better too. My Doctor gave me Zpak plus cefnidir....two antibiotics. Miracle of miracle, I got my life back...I am still foggy brained and tire easily, but I am amazed at the pain free existence I have now. I've also gotten rid of a lot of little aches and pains by upping my Vitamin D blood levels to well above 50....I'm aiming for 90! But I do take it with K-2 an MLK-7. Thanks for your comment. Cheering to know one is not alone!

I agree wholeheartedly....it is really heartwarming and nice to not feel alone! This exchange has me wondering if HCQ or Amantadine would help with Levaquin issue (the verdict is out whether mDNA is damaged, Levaquin persists inside mito or elemental damage with ROS). Oddly enough my tendons survived fine but it seriously damaged neuro and immune sys. So thank you for the exchange bc it is at least worth asking :) I brought about 20 studies to my western MD's and FM MD and started on a ton of nutraceuticals that have helped tremendously. Just a thought but have you tried NAC, Glycine and Liposomal Glutathione? They cleared my cognitive stupor/fog very quickly and have helped with my fatigue. Did you read years ago that Dr Burgdorferi said he worked for the DOD and this too was a bioweapon in development in NY? Not surprising. I am glad you made a pretty good recovery and you are pain free! Some people on substack crack me up with their comments so the laughing, insights and info like yours is keeping me sane.

Expand full comment

Wow. thanks for the info...I do take NAC but have not tried glycine and liposomal Glutathione...I'd do anything to fix the brain and the energy levels...thank you...Do try Amoxicillin and Cefnidir together...there is even a study showing it really helps. It sounded odd to me until I googled and found the study and it seems to work with Chronic Lyme...only I have fogorteen (brain fog) how long I took it for but it was at least for a month I am sure. I did hear that Lyme probably came from that island in Connecticut sound and t wouldn't surprise me at all. Although I do remember getting bulls'eye rashes as a kid also...but was fine until I got bit in later life.... I'm afraid because science doesn't believe in treating for chromic lyme...that long Covid is not something that will be ignored either....

Thank you I will definitely raise the questions. My MD's have been excellent with regard to zero gaslighting of a patient like I experienced in '92 with LD. I think they feel as frustrated as I do that we didn't know Fluoroquinolone abx could do this and we don't know the exact mechanism of damage and how best to address it but so far addressing mito toxicity definitely helping. Regarding the Glycine, NAC and Glutathione I found studies that NAC with Glycine together directly addresses the mito pathways that are damaged by aging, medication reactions and other toxicities. That helped clear the fog pretty quickly. The L-Glutathione was an accidental miracle for me. My Functional Medicine MD put me on it for Covid prevention. Apparently it is the most abundant antioxidant in our biochemistry and prevents oxidative stress and improves immune function among other things. We were both shocked bc about 2 weeks after I started it long standing severe debilitating malaise improved unbelievably. Prior if I tried to even walk 10 minutes my muscles would be unbelievable weak and I would collapse in the most bizarre exhaustion. It is gone and is now more of an intermittent fatigue but no muscle involvement. I have real hope now bc My MD said the best way to repair mito toxicity damage is exercise and I am now able to walk 2 miles. It sounds so stupid bc I use to be incredibly athletic but I will take any damn win! I hope it helps you if you give them a try! From my rudimentary understanding of the studies the Glycine will only help if you are also on NAC so it is great that you are. The L-Glutathione takes a few weeks to reach therapeutic levels. With any luck the long covid and vax injured might benefit from the smart, ethical, kind doctors now talking and sharing info with ND's and FM MD's. Hopefully the path forward won't be as gross as those injured by LD, opioids, Fluoroquinolones etc...

OMG that is what happens to me....I will definitely try the combo...how do you take your L-luthathione? Pill form? I have never heard of glycine but I will definitely try that too! Luckily the opiods just washed off my back like a duck...when I became pain free. I just stopped. No withdrawal, nothing. I stopped a lot of pill taking after getting better, just on my own. I rarely take an aspirin now. I am still a caffeine addict tho..cut back to one cup a day but I am so fatigued lately I am starting to sneak in an afternoon expresso. I take melatonin at night to keep from wakng up several times a night, and I have to watch the dose otherwise I do feel drugged when I get up in the morning. I keep amoxy and cefnidir on hand for times like now (its either Jan/Feb or July August go figure) when the Lyme comes back, and it takes me a few weeks to figure out but other than that, I am so grateful to my doctor and to God for giving me most of my life back...the only downside to anything and I think it is more age than anything, but I really miss my one cocktail at night...I still pour myself one, have one sip, but more than that I have to go to bed...but I still pour a drink, and it sits there until I empty it in the morning...but it makes me connect to my old self (I was pretty tough) and it is a comfort to know if I want it I can have it. I just don't want it anymore, but I like to know that I could if I would!!!

Jose Canseco published a book, Juiced, in the early 2000s about the rampant use of steroids in baseball. I read it in high school. It seemed believable, but the media trashed him as a lunatic (that’s not entirely inaccurate).

Then, as the years went by, MLB started testing. And the anonymous testing numbers sure gave credibility to Jose. Then players started getting suspended, many were players named in the book (such as Rafael Palmero).

However, Canseco was completely off about Roger Clemens. He painted him as a choir boy. I assume that Jose had some type of financial deal worked out for that.

That’s when I learned to be skeptical of the media. Of course, we (the USA) were invading Iraq at the time for “WMDs”, but I wasn’t following that too closely back then (whoops!).

Within the space of a couple of weeks in March 2020, nearly all the so-called developed countries implemented very similar lockdown protocols. These affected whole populations most of whom, it was already known, would have been barely affected by the newly arrived disease. At the same time, these same governments set aside vast sums of money to pay these not-at-risk people to stay at home and do absolutely nothing. Not one single government even offered home treatment suggestions (beyond paracetamol) to those citizens affected by the disease. Any possible treatments (with the exception of hospital administered hexamethasone) were immediately villified in the media. It was as if they were all following a script.

And this is a world that can't even agree which side of the road to drive on.

The media had not a single critical word to say about this insane global policy.

Very much so. And when I reasoned against this insanity on Reddit - I think in April 2020, in a factual comment with multiple sources - I was banned from major news-related subreddits.

This made it obvious there's an organized campaign, not against "misinformation", but against arguments that could be persuasive.

Same here. I still remember as a child reading old issues of National Geographic that warned about the "coming ice age", so I never took "warming" seriously to begin with, then I looked into it and found it even worse than I had thought.

For me it was climate change.

In my younger formative years I watch Al Gores inconvenient truth and bought into the narrative fully.

While working in the oil & gas industry I was very concerned about flaring. One evening I sat down in my office, cleared the whiteboard, wrote CO2 in the center and started from first principles. It didn't take too long to find some contradictions in the narrative, particularly around CO2 historically lagging not leading temperature.

After a couple of years of digging into this I came to the conclusion that CO2 does create some warming effect, however climate sensitivity to CO2 is low and there are may other far more influential factors.

Incidentally the IPCC technical reports also came to this conclusion and have subsequently increased their levels of uncertainty over successive reports. However the summary for policy makers was always certain and sensationalist.

This is akin to reading the appendix of the Pfizer trials and then comparing these underwhelming results to their media releases and the proclamations of our politicians.

Anything that our political class dives into with vigor these days should warrant large doses of skepticism.

I graduated high school in 2001 and up to that point (and for some time after) I lived a predominantly ignorant life. All I cared about was me and fitting in, which involved alcohol among other things. It was at some point down the road that I was introduced to a documentary called Loose Change that offered what I perceived as irrefutable evidence that there was more to the 9/11 story than what we were told by our government and media and what most people believed. From that point forward I've been in this rabbit hole and questioning most everything presented to me from self-proclaimed authorities/authoritative sources.

As of today, it's hard to understand how the glaringly obvious collusion between big-tech, corporate media, big business, and governments around the world is imperceptible to so many out there living their blissfully ignorant lives. I can't help but wonder how many of them choose, even if on a subconscious level, to remain in an ignorant state as a means of self-preservation. I imagine it to be something like The Matrix.

Like Jason, my awakening occurred in 2012, when I was convalescing from injuries resulting from a serious auto accident. This time period afforded me the opportunity to spend many dozens of hours viewing the evidence from experts in construction and demolition related to the collapse of the WTC buildings. But the most telling aspect of this evaluation by experts in the field, was how their analysis was vilified by the MSM. Just as in the recent pandemic, those expressing views counter to the prevailing narrative went from being well respected, well credentialed experts in their fields to being labelled conspiracy theorist and crackpots.

I have worked for the government for nearly three decades. I have seen high level politicians up close and many are not good human beings. There is lying and corruption throughout government. I have learned not to believe what they say unless I can verify the facts behind their statements. Usually, the facts run against their statements. I have also learned that doctors and other so called experts are wrong much of the time. A good example was my daughter's pediatrician (actually one of the pediatricians at the practice) just telling me flat out lies about vaccines and Omicron last month (my daughter had COVID as did the rest of us). She was insisting that we the parents get our boosters immediately and that we needed to get my 11 year old daughter vaccinated as soon as possible because kid are at serious risk of severe disease from Omicron and that vaccination is much better than natural immunity. Fortunately, thanks to people like you, I know better. It was ridiculous bald faced lies. What if I had cancer and I depended on someone like this doctor to guide me back to health and provide me top notch medical advice? I would stand no chance and probably end up dead. The people who lead us are disappointing frauds much of the time. My opinion of humanity is pretty low. By the way, my daughter ran a low grade fever for a few days and then was perfectly fine.

First time I read about some strange new virus was in late November or early December 2019. Didn't think of it to much. Then at one of our venues some of our guests started repeatedly visiting with masks. One women I knew works in genetics research institution in the city. That's when I started paying a little more attention. In late January I visited an international fair and everyone avoided the Chinese pavilion and all staff there where masked and somewhat anxious and desperate because no one would talk to them. At that time the official news was downplaying the issue, somewhat denying that this virus will ever be an issue here (in Germany). That's when I started paying attention very closely.

From that point on the official narrative was always somewhat opposite to what I read. Official news cycle seemed to lag by at least four weeks. For example they denied the usefulness of masks only to flip on the issue later. Science said that this type of pandemic lasts at least three years. Government anounced a 14 day lockdown and promised everything back to normal after that. Nothing they ever said was coherent with anything I read elsewhere.

Then government and media started using a different language with a lot of fear mongering and lockdown measures tightened. Now, I've run a lot of ad campaigns, election campaigns. I know how to do propaganda and I'm well educated on psyOps methods. I started to see patterns in how government and media communicated the pandemic that sounded all to familiar.

Then it got worse when they started to push the vaccine as the single solution to the problem, only to pull it (AstraZeneca) for younger people shortly after. That's when I started digging into the literature on mRNA, the immune system and virology in detail.

Thanks to this failed government propaganda attempt, I now know a lot about antiviral nutrition, have changed my lifestyle quite fundamentally for the better and I'm fully aware of the seriousness of the chimeric pathogen and it's likely origin.

So in retrospect it was a constant cognitive dissonance within me that I tried to cope with by finding more information.

The more government and media went down the psyOps route, the more sceptical I got.

But I was only able to process all this, because of a rock solid science based university education. And I grew up in East Germany so I know how a totalitarian regime sounds, evolves and eventually collapses.

That's why I'm still very optimistic on the social part of the problem.

On the medical side (spike toxicity issues) I'm somewhat worried though. But precision medicine will advance with this unfortunate opportunity.

I've been conditioned to be critical of official narratives since high school, so I was always going to question every aspect of this one. I know the mainstream media is owned by corporations and are largely stenographers of power. When I saw the Chinese and U.S. governments pointing fingers at each other as the source of the virus, I immediately began to research its origins. Then, I researched the relative effectiveness of masks, the infection fatality ratio, and then the safety and efficacy of the vaccinations.

Discovering the upside down food pyramid a decade ago and the corrupt reasons for the bs guidelines since the last century. Big food+ big pharma hijacked the health of our society. Since consuming the opposite of their recommended diet my health improved, metabolic syndrome kept under control. That was a huge eye-opener. Also I worked in press as a photo editor and my family had two generation of doctors: this combination gave me a unique perspective on authority and trusting systems. In 2020 in a few weeks it was clear there is too much bullshit around the story of CV19, and thorough research was needed. (scientific studies, independent doctors, and not government, let alone mass media. Not following blindly the official narrative can be life-saving/life-changing...

I was a bit slower to wake up... But there were sort of itches in my brain. 9/11 then the missing WMD in Iraq. Millions in the streets protesting and the war happened anyway. Then in late 2005 I was mystified by house price trends in parts of the US and I was told to shut up, US house prices can't fall nationwide. Then no one went to jail after 2008. Then Obama became drone striker in chief. Then Brexit, then Trump and especially the media reaction "those voters are all racists". All the while curious why so many of my grandparents lived well into their 90s but my parents and my generation had so many weird auto immune and cancer type illnesses. Why thyroid medicine is so unbelievably common in nearly every woman I know. Autism. ADHD. Opioids. The pandemic then just blew it all open further. Also the scandals in the Church. I'm now just working on getting the toxins out of my system but it's probably too late.

It's almost certainly an outlier here, but for me it was nothing to do with health. 10 years ago I read a book called "Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air" by Sir David MacKay, which basically, for me, blew the lid off of the lie that renewables were going to replace fossil fuels. Yet all politicians to this day keep repeating this mantra. I then started finding that if you poke around many areas of bureaucratic (nee scientific) consensus you find funny little rabbit holes. I still have not come to the conclusion what the common thread is, if there is any, but I do think Malthusianism is a plausible explanation when elites do palpably irrational things. ie., They might be "intensely relaxed" about shrinking the population in a controlled way

I have been skeptical since a little girl. We lived in Kuwait and the news was so different from American news that I questioned what was the truth. My skepticism just grew from there and became more personal when misdiagnosed and brushed off during two illnesses. It is a struggle to trust Doctors at all anymore, probably never will now.
