“You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.” — Anton Chekhov
The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens an apology and an explanation, and even then, they might not be able to save modern medicine. The doctors have dishonored and disgraced their profession. They promulgated a Covid- 19 vaccination that is now clearly killing a lot of people early in life and unnaturally. To this day, no established professional group of doctors, or formal association, or major journal, has called for an end to the vaxx program.
The signal has been clear for the better part of a year. The mRNA products made by Pfizer and Moderna did not stop transmission of Covid-19 and were causing widespread harm, especially in the working-age population between 25 and 64 who were forced to take the shots to keep their jobs. For the whole population all-causes deaths and disabilities were still rising at the end of 2022.
The trend appeared to start with the unnatural deaths of professional athletes dropping dead on their playing fields. Then, in early 2022, life insurance companies issued reports that the death rates of policy-holders employed by companies with insurance plans were up 40 percent. The numbers were confirmed in mid-2022 by the Society of Actuaries — the professional org of people who actually parse the statistics that the insurance industry bases its business model on. In fact the number of excess deaths in younger age groups had grown dramatically — Covid vaccination produced a 78-percent increase in excess deaths among the 25-34 age group, a 100-percent increase in excess deaths among the 35-44 age group, and a 80-percent increase in excess deaths among the 45-54 age group.
These signals arrived special-delivery and gift-wrapped to the medical profession and, amazingly, no corresponding warning to the public came back out. The doctors continued to push the vaccines. The public health officials (many of them doctors) in all the agencies under the US Dept. of Health and Human Services withheld information about the harms that were being done and continued to run advertisements promoting the vaccines at the same time these officials must have noticed the alarming news incoming. As late as this new year, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky appeared in TV ads promoting mRNA booster shots.
In short, a professional class the public depends on to define reality have done everything possible to conceal and distort reality. The cable news networks and the newspapers amplified the distortions to prevent the public from understanding what was happening to them in an epic world health crisis. Social media, managed backstage by government intel agencies, reinforced the information blackout. The crisis was coming not so much from the Covid-19 virus itself, which had a death rate well under one percent of those infected; the crisis came from the supposed remedy for the virus, the vaccines pushed on the uninformed and misinformed citizens.
Outside a small circle of apostate doctors — Malone, McCullough, Kory, Cole, Risch, Bhattacharya, and others — the practicing physicians of America went blindly and stupidly along with the government’s vaccination program. My own primary care physician told me he was “a hundred percent confident in the vaccines” when he attempted to persuade me to take the shots. (I declined.) In the next year’s physical exam he didn’t even mention the vaccines. How about your doctors? Do you wonder what they’ve learned? Or if they’ve learned anything.
And what are they going to do now? Pretend that none of this is happening? Continue to demonize, discredit, and punish the few doctors who won’t pretend? My PC doc doubles as Chief Health Officer of his group practice. He’s fired doctors and others on the staff who refused to take the shots his company mandated. He’s dishonored his Hippocratic oath. He’s in mid-life with, one would assume ordinarily, many working years ahead of him. The information about vaccine deaths and disabilities is going to get worse, and his own behavior around the crisis is going to look worse, probably even to himself. There are hundreds of thousands of doctors like him. As of now, early 2023, there is no general movement among them to explain or apologize for their actions. What will happen?
I’ll tell you what will happen: medicine as we’ve known it is going to collapse, along with most other activities in our society. Apart from ethical offenses against the public in the single instance of the Covid-19 emergency, doctors and their administrative cohorts have stealthily surrendered to a racketeering business model that had already badly damaged the practice of medicine before Covid-19 came on the scene.
Remember: as a general principle, organisms and systems often assume their greatest size just before the go extinct or fail. That’s exactly what you’re seeing in the conglomeratization of hospitals in the USA. If the idea was to remove redundancies for the sake of “efficiency,” then they did exactly what destroys ecosystems. Anyway, the net effect of all that hospital consolidation was just to make access to health care much more difficult for the average citizen, and the only benefit was to make multi-millionaires of the executives who run the hospitals.
Then Covid-19 came along and they decimated their own workforce with vaccine mandates. Now, many hospitals can barely function, and many have had to shut down specific services. Quite a few hospitals are going bankrupt, which only feeds the predatory consolidation still ongoing. When the financial, banking, and insurance disorders ahead start to bite later this year, hospitals will be shutting down. In the meantime, a lot of people will lose their lives to the disastrous side-effects of the vaccines. It is already the case, that the vaccine-injured who seek help from the medical system are lied-to, mis-treated, or ignored. Some of these are the doctors themselves and other health professionals who collide with reality the hard way.
Something will emergently replace this monster we call “health care.” Maybe it will still think of itself medicine, but it will operate at a much smaller scale, minus a lot of the expensive and rather miraculous high-tech developed in our time, but also minus a lot of hazardous high-tech interventions, especially pharmaceuticals, that were used as revenue streams despite the adverse blowbacks they induced.
Will the doctors recover the trust of the public? It’s going to be a slog for them. They’ll have a long way to go just to recover their own honor and self-respect. Some sort of organized act of apology and repentance will have to happen first.

Professor Michel Chossudovsky Points out how Few Cases it required for WHO to Pronounce a Global Pandemic and Collapse Equity Markets
Remember, the reported a large number of Covid cases were 97% the product of the PCR test, which the inventor of the test said was useless for the diagnosis of Covid. The test produced false positives. It was used despite the evidence that it was invalid, but was eventually withdrawn when its absurd results could no longer be sustained.
Remember, Covid deaths were caused by withholding treatment with proven cures in order to justify the emergency use authorization of the untested mRNA substances.
There is no such thing as “Covid-19.” There was no “pandemic.” It’s all fake, a big lie, to grab power and get the kill shots into the most people possible to reduce the population.
The sooner you stop treating “Covid” as if it’s a real thing, the clearer you’ll see reality.
Yes, Covid is the Red Flag, the vaxx is a bio-weapon, population reduction the goal.
The medical-pharma industry, like so many, is run by whores, hustlers and pimps.
But what is the expected result from the USSA culture of death?
OldToad Of Greean Acres,
Population reduction is the goal? By how much? In what time frame?
The problem with your learning GNL is that you have stated that you don’t believe anything unless you see it yourself. (won’t believe any vaxx injuries because you don’t personally know anyone injured). Obviously that is not true or you could not function in society. It seems it is only a fiction you use so you don’t have to acknowledge things that would cause you cognitive dissonance.
The WEF, Bill Gates and other so called Elites have stated that as a goal. Easily found information on line. Don’t expect others to do your work for you.
If you were invited into the vault to see the answers to your questions the result, your result, would be?
Say 250 million killed, murdered, in the 20th century. Just don’t say “but, that’s different.”(Pogo Marsupial never changes, is never different … that’s just not it’s bag, man.)
Why isn’t the obvious answer to your questions “as many as possible” & either “as quickly as possible” (2030 has been marked on some calendars) or “as slowly as possible” (for to mulct as much as possible)?
Me, I think the mulct has been history, has served purpose, the coffin-builders’ coffers are infinitely full & tech has gotten singularity enough that all those pussies have arrived at Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
They are sure they can see the catbird seat & that soon all the wretched refuse of the cuckoos nest below & all the Nurse Ratcheds riding that herd will be officially non-essential & therefore redundant & inefficient & cutting into pie that only Plutos deserve.
This looks in the mirror
And sees this
Dunno what catbird tastes like. Pretty sure Dodo tasted just like chicken.
250 million by 2025
Yes there is!
They’ve been around for ages.
I saw them in concert when they were still just the Covid-4.
No, I repeat no infectious virus has ever been isolated. As long as you keep buying into that myth they will keep bring new viruses or variants out to scare you.
Dr. Tom Cowan, Stephan Lanka . Andrew Kaufman have proved this. Look them on on the web.
To awake (not woke) start with the supposition that all you have learned is a lie and the opposite of the truth. That’s how they control you.
You can then start to unlearn the lies and start to “see”.
The biggest scam of all time
Yes there is covid. It’s been around for a long time. This particular bug was tinkered with but scientist playing gods and then let lose as a weapon. There is no dispute, except from liars. Then came the second part. The kill shot. The plan is working, just give it a little more time.
There’s no such thing as “Covid-19.” No “bug” was “tinkered with.” It’s a huge lie and a psy-op.
The people who were rushed to the hospital with “covid” were the same types of people who were rushed to the hospital with complications from the flu or pneumonia pre-2020, before these common illnesses were rebranded “covid” to push the lie: those with preexisting conditions who were susceptible to complications because of lowered immunity.
The difference was that pre-2020, the hospitals tried to save them. Once 2020 hit, they killed them by shoving ventilators they didn’t need down their esophaguses and blowing up their lungs and/or putting them on Remdesivir and destroying their kidneys. They weren’t permitted to treat them with normal procedures and meds because the culprits needed people to be dying from this deadly new “pandemic.”
Plus, the hospitals were making out like bandits for each person they killed. Big $$, whatever it was – $39,000 per covid corpse or something.
Even to this day, people who get the seasonal flu – the same one we used to get pre-2020 – tell everyone they have “covid.” It was a very successful and effective rebranding.
Don’t hold your breath if you are looking for an apology from the so called medical professionals. For the greater part the individuals are a self serving and arrogant lot. The oath has become a formality to becoming rich. I watched my health care provider cave like an air filled doll to the system of mandates and threats. In short, they are simply overpaid employees of the system. Treat them as such for you as a patient are or will be soon on your own.
“Covid” was so grand in its illumination of the systemic rot that it became easy to forget that for decades healthcare has been little more than a business development division of pharma and surgical/”procedural” interventions largely predicated on the financial arrangement of “insurance” billables.
Most doctors, I mean ‘providers’, are generalists in the extreme. They generally have little knowledge outside of the programs that generate and maintain their credentials and billables.
Given that the literature on any given subject is similarly perverted, the docs are in the difficult position in which the few who even bother to keep up are most often being fed the !SCIENCE! being generated to justify the next iteration of products/services.
Factor in the technological “efficiency” of these provider networks and you have doctors who have to spend most of their time charting and insurance coding on a computer instead of putting their hands on patients.
Gods Hotel by Dr. Victoria Sweet is a nice easy read on what this looks like from the inside.
Medicine at the right time for the right reason is a godsend but by and large the system produces passive and uninformed proxy and direct consumers of product in which doctors are mere middlemen in yet another financialized system.
The answer yet again is to separate entirely from that system, doctors and patients alike. Which is the real reason medical school cost $1MM and the entire regulatory and administrative State functions to keep everyone on the plantation.
You can’t have free men enriching themselves with knowledge and consensual trade of independently derived value-for-value. No you need debt slavery, financialization, regulatory scrape, threatpoint credentials, and a public ignorant of it all.
That is the real disease. Not a defense of doctors pushing the death jab at all, but that the moral and ethical event horizon was established well before the jab. It is important context when considering how we build our own communities.
Thank you for your comment. It explained modern medicine expertly. I think few people care. Things have to hit them across the face.
” Things have to hit them across the face.”
And THEN?
1) Call an ambulance and take ME to the Emergency Room!
2) Who can I Sue?
Haven’t carried insurance for 2 years, how can anyone trust any doctors anymore.
Saves me 4k per year
@ anonomus prime
I’m not a physician nor is my wife; we know several pretty well, one of whom was my wife’s late cousin. I don’t know what field you trained in, but, if you aren’t aware, for US high school grads, entry into the field of medicine (or surgery) requires 4 years of very good grades in college, 4 years of very good grades in medical school, and at least 1 year (if not a couple more) in one of the most brutal jobs in this country: an general internship. Quite a high percentage then volunteered for several years in the Armed Services: yes! to sharpen their skills as well as to provide solid medical care for those on active.
Now my question to you:
should they give all of their years of training and “learn to code” just because we have some decerebrates in DC issuing ridiculous orders that nobody in their right mind would ever follow?
Except most of these medical people DID follow the orders. Blindly, Arrogantly, Obsequiously and Sanctimoniously.
Ask your god Mammon for the answer.
@boron
They should practice what they took and “OATH” to do!
You have no idea how well I know this once very honorable profession. I stated nothing that is untrue. That said , you are entitled to your opinion just as I am.
I don’t disagree: “they were just following orders” with a gun held to their head.
and please notice: I said,”…for US high school grads…”
No gun to their head.
There is always a choice to do right or wrong- most doctors chose to do wrong.
” US high school grads, entry into the field of medicine (or surgery) requires 4 years of very good grades in college, 4 years of very good grades in medical school, and at least 1 year (if not a couple more) in one of the most brutal jobs in this country: an general internship. Quite a high percentage then volunteered for several years in the Armed Services”
This is the problem – after so many years of brainwashing they can not think for themselves. Only the yes men and rule followers could get so far in the system.
But they don’t need all that if they are minorities….
“just because we have some decerebrates in DC issuing ridiculous orders”

Ya tryin’ to make JK jealous?
Upvote for your name.
yes they are highly educated, but almost all of them are miseducated. when i hear a doctor spouting off germ-viral theories about pathology, i know that i am listening to an educated quack. these people should be fired for malpractice and sued into oblivion. they are the cause of the scam and fraud of “covid” because they failed dispense sound advice to their patients and the public. they are hucksters and charlatans who would prescribe a blood letting to cure a cold if they were told and paid to do it.
it’s like the engineer who wants partial credit for an erroneous differential equation even though the bridge fell down and killed everyone on it and around it.
Amen, brother! Physicians are clannish, tending to be friends with other docs, except for a few golf buddies at their CC & maybe 2-3 at church (if they go to one).
Tribe up or die?
tribe up and kill iatrogenically
Just spent 24 hrs in the “best ” hospital emergency room in Las Vegas. If you want to know what hell is like try it.
A. Why does Kunstler continue to go to this same doctor?
B. Anyone wonder if the destruction of modern medicine that greatly prolongs lives is a feature and not a bug?
“B. Anyone wonder if the destruction of modern medicine that greatly prolongs lives is a feature and not a bug?”
Perhaps;
Destroying the emergency services was the goal. The big pharmasuicide industrial complex is doing just fine.
C. Anyone wonder if natural and alternative medicine is actually better that the pill version?
I’m wondering. My primary doctor is a chiropractor. I hear quite a lot about how the pharma model really does not help anyone. How lots of people die from the drugs and the mistakes the medical community make. How surveys of oncologist indicate that THEY would not want to undergo the treatments they dish out to their patients. And on and on.
About a month before the hoax was rolled out, my 83 year old father underwent a surgery on his kidney. The mass, fortunately, turned out to be benign, but he still spent a fair amount of time in an ICU following the surgery. We travelled down to NJ to see him as did many of our family members. We were all free to visit with him in ICU and later in the facility where he completed his recovery, a place filled with the sick and the elderly.
At no point in time were we required, nor was it ever suggested that anyone wear a mask. None of the nurses or attending physicians wore one and there was no indication that I saw that anyone anywhere in any of those place outside of the surgical suite ever thought to employ that measure.
And then three months later you couldn’t enter a WalMart without one.
I knew that there was no science behind it, it was obvious on its face, but they pretended that this theater was always about health when months before it had never crossed their minds for even the most sickly and vulnerable in settings where it probably would have been wise to think about it.
It’s pointless to discuss the finer details of this fraud, the density of the masks, the efficacy of M-95 versus dust filters, etc.- none of it makes any sense and it never did. It was and remains a test of compliance. What reaction do people have when some authority demands they modify their behavior. Well informed and somewhat intelligent people know about things like the Milgram experiment, or are familiar with the Stanford Prison experiment. They have read Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, served time in the military, been part of an audience or a crowd at a sporting event. They get the natural inclination of human beings to conform to some degree, but they never fathomed just how easily they could be misled and manipulated by bad actors for nefarious reasons once those people took control of virtually every institution and aspect of public life.
This is- for lack of a more appropriate term- war. The tactics are radically different in the same way that armor and indirect fire once was. The objectives are the same; resources, land, and wealth, but the strategy is like the water fish swim in, invisible to the ones who are being conquered because it is their very own culture, society and State waging it against them.
Sir HSF,
See the post above on the Scamdemic.
Additionally, look at the reaction to the “mere 10%” standing against both establishments in this Congressional Kabuki. People who can’t find their ass with both hands and have no knowledge of anything beyond CNN or MSNBC, NPR, have strong opinions about things like jailing people who won’t take experimental faux vaccines and being a terrorist or Taliban for demanding just a little transparency and a written modus vivendi. As if they are saying unless the majority agrees, it has to be wrong, evil, unpatriotic and all that, and do not dare explain the facts.
Asymmetric warfare. It’s a brilliant strategy. The enemy has no clue they are in a war. Oblivious to the threats.
Yes, Marky, it really is a brilliant strategy. Sometimes when I’m thinking it all through, I put myself in the shoes of an evil overlord and think how I would get people to comply (which is too easy, really, if you understand human nature well enough).
My conclusion is always…BRAVO, Evil Overlords, BRAVO! They’ve really outdone themselves.
I can’t think of any logistical strategy to effectively fight back…other than to withdraw from the system entirely – which so many simply will not do. And honestly, that strategy feels too passive to me.
I believe it’s game over. We lost – big time. Expect a totalitarian regime to dominate for the next 20 years or so, maybe more.
Actually the strategy of attrition makes the most sense as a counter. Active resistance is good only when the oppressor is not in an advantage. When they are in the advantage then active or forced resistance is futile unless the masses can be swayed back into action. And we both know that ain’t gonna happen.
So… cause the enemy to spend valuable resources of removing sand from the gears and opposing them at every instance, while managing your own resources. Let the enemy think you are weak, disengaged and at a distance. He won’t notice you are standing near to him, cutting holes in his money bag.
Well…sounds nice on paper. I just don’t see enough people doing this or any organized attempt. I could be wrong, though. Maybe it is happening to a higher degree than I realize – like the grid being shot down in certain areas – I always wonder who is behind it and what their goals were.
I do believe Flea was right about the grid.
They arrested a couple of guys for the latest Washington state transformer that was shot up.
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/2-arrested-in-power-substation-attack-in-washington-state/4027058/
Flea was absolutely right about the grid.
Its a strategy that works off paper as well. You can call it guerilla warfare too if you like, its the same but a different label. Is it happening here, I’d venture a guess its happening but very limited, so far. What would you think would happen if these ‘events’ were to start happening across the country in increasing frequency? The OBVIOUS examples are Vietnam and Afghanistan, peasants kick’n ultra modern nations asses. Guerilla warfare, attrition, it works. It developes over time.
They’ll catch a few. Try and make examples of them to frighten everyone back into being docile. Does J6 ring a bell?? but in reality if these events were to gain steam, the govt would break down as its unsustainable to fight both a war in another completely foreign country and a domestic one too. And, the govts already have deemed you, I and everyone on THIS site, and other free speech sites, enemies.
Makes sense. Hope you’re right.
One thing the enemy has going for them is that they have us divided so fiercely now. How can we ever work together against a regime? We don’t have common goals or values. At least half the country would love to live under totalitarianism – at least they think they do. Maybe that will change over time though.
Just ask the UK about the IRA.
It isn’t passive, it’s proactive.
It feels too passive “to me”. I have left the system in every way that I possibly can, BUT I still pay taxes. If they raise the taxes too much (a very real possibility), then I’ll have to sell and move – and rent – where I’ll own nothing (but be happy?). Now, I sit and wait to see what will happen – that’s what feels too passive to me. Sitting & waiting.
If we include not paying taxes as part of “leaving the system”, then ok, you have a point. But I don’t know many folks willing to go that far because of the consequences. So, essentially, we still have one foot in & one foot out of the system. In my mind, and looking down the road, that doesn’t work.
Abigail Adams,
We can withdraw from “the system” by SECEDING from the federal government.
This action is by no means passive.
The founding action of America was SECESSION.
The filth that have taken over America are all backed is some way by the federal government.
Cut the head off the snake.
SECEDE
Please give me an example where this can happen.
The most likely secession would be Texas leaving the Union – is that what you mean? If so, it will never happen. I joined that movement when I moved to Texas (Texit). I quickly realized that it wasn’t going to happen. It’s a pipe dream. So, I moved on…
Or, are you talking about an “individual secession” where each of us leave the Federal gov’t by not participating in their systems, not paying taxes, etc.?
You sound just like the people who told The Son’s of Liberty in colonial America that it can never happen.
TEXIT is growing despite your lack of participation.
Read Dr. Matt Qvortrup’s book “I Want To Break Free”.
There were about 50 countries on Earth in 1950. There are now close to 200.
Where do you think these new nations come from ???
Once upon a time, I DID believe it was possible. No more. Not trying to be negative, but realistic. If you are working on this campaign, then all power to you – I don’t want to discourage that.
However, this move will require a vote – a VOTE! Have you noticed how voting is going these days?? Also, who controls our politics right now? Globalists. Yep, globalists – even in the Texas legislature. If you don’t think that’s true, then you might want to take a second look under the hood. Globalists will NEVER allow Texas to be free.
Just my two cents.
Great, great TBP exchange!
AA, I love your clear realistic perspective. At the same time, the response is smart, sharp, and excellent from both sides. Nice.
It is what keeps me coming back. It gives me hope.
Thanks
Thank you, sir! (or is it ma’am?)
Leavin town ain’t passive. If you get bored up there, you can always pick a fight with the Crows. But then you’re just right back in a town again.
Staying, if leaving is an option, is passive. Even Warsaw ghetto was passive when viewed from somewhere up above the catbird seat.
Go up (with persons, perhaps … not people) & live? Or tribe up & die? I like it.
Left town, but still pay taxes. Did I do it right?
“If they raise the taxes too much (a very real possibility), then I’ll have to sell and move – and rent – where I’ll own nothing (but be happy?).”
In my real, actual, life away from this keyboard, I’ve made some happy mortgage-paying people unhappy when I told them ordinary people (or even extraordinary ones, AA) don’t own real estate.
That, even if the lender mortgage is paid off the tax mortgage is forever & so the property will never be free & clear, will never be owned.
Not by the tax-paying renter, who prefers to refer to himself as “buyer,” anyway.
And then I’ve seen them get happy again by sacrificing “me” upon the cogdis altar.
I figure Fast Eddie Bernays, or similar toxoplasmosis sauce, got inside their heads long before they met me.
And now they will forever be the proud owners of a 1700 square foot dopamineum (or whatever).
And I’ll be the dope.
The “you will own nothing” bit isn’t looming in the foreboding dystopian future. That bit has been in most mouths since long before I was born.
Along with possession is 9/10ths the law.
And since I possess this bit in my mouth … see, dope (me)? This bit is mine. My body, my bit – chew on that, dope. ☻
But guess who, or what, possesses 10/10 of “the law”?
I think the whole purpose of towns is taxes. Those two t’s appear to be synonyms. If it’s taxed, then its town.
Now “15-minute cities” are apparently a thing.
How long before being taxed every 15-minutes will be someone’s idea of the good old days?
Milton Friedman came up with payroll withholding. His baby grew up & made it with a mainframe & that grandchild, “Skynet,” (seems like “skin it” doesn’t it?) is eyeballing rtt (real time taxation).
The Beatles did a song about all this way back when. The band left, spit the Brit bit, because home, sweet, home was taking 90%. Later, Paul accepted being made “Sir” Paul. (I think Mick did, too.)
Now how much you want to bet Sir Paul owns some real estate?
At least for now.
Dalrymple did a what’s coming on artists. Well, artist’s renderings.
Render unto Caesar. Even Caesartists gotta render.
Pretty sure that’s in the Bible.
When those other caesars, Brutus & the boys, dress that salad, there might be an interlude.
TTowns might revert to … what?
Get thee behind me, taxoplasmosis! That *should* be in the Bible …
But for churches (of all kinds … like the Sir Paul church, for example) to get the exemption *somebody* has got to pay.
So how does one “do it right”?
Well, apparently a .50 Hawken is part of the recipe. ☺
Ordering a .50 Hawken right now on Amazon from my Smartphone. Oh, wait…damn, still hanging on to the system. 😊
lol…
Fascinating stuff that ~ who da’ thunk it ~ the official oreo stuffers deny. And at the end “the meek”Hawken-toting hunter-gathers will inherit the place. If anybody’s left for the reading of the will. Have a listen.
Ok, will watch tomorrow…
“You can be replaced” used to be a popular joke/threat.
You, “your place in the world,” your productivity/output … your personality, creativity … your body.
Your “tax payments”? Haven’t those already been replaced, too? Do the tax receipts have anything at all to do with the imperial “budgets”?
Circuitboards have long since dominated chessboards, go boards.
Now perfectly written compositions, albeit not Shakespeare (not yet), are spit out, fully formed, in seconds.
Think about all the trained seal grammarians & “communicators” out here in the Big Emptynet, their religious faith in the importance of language … ever faster being replaced by circuit-action that looks like language.
Think about how they’ll know, be able to discern, the difference.
Think about how little actual discernment there *ever* was.
The Terminators don’t sound like some sociopath from Austria. They sound “perfect.” (And if imperfectly perfect is what’s called for, that’s what the marks will be given to hear.)
How to “do it right”?
Get out of the way, as far out of the paths of destruction as you can, & let hubris do its work.
That’s not passive.
But lots of activity contains no productivity, may even contain loads of counterproductivity … & could say that’s passivity, in disguise.
i forget, you nailed it. Bernays, Frankfurt School is who supplied the Modis Operandi. So few know about that metastasized fungus, cancer.
Yeah, he nails it – sometimes. 😎
Brat!
Is that what’s for dinner?? Excellent idea!
Hi Tree Mike. I think most here know about Bernays & the cognitive biases, weak spots, blind spots, he & similar have mined since forever. But just knowing about all that doesn’t solve for all that. And even if cranial vaults are full of molten plasticity (they aren’t … pending), cognitive dissonance is more like rebar reinforcing skull bone.
“…Honesty bias with a chaser of confirmation bias creates the conditions in which we can be deceived, over & over, through our own willing participation, in large part because of our need to protect against something called cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is a state of untenable mental stress. It occurs when you try to hold two conflicting truths (or at least beliefs) in your mind simultaneously. You can’t do it. Really. You can’t. I mean, some people can, but they’re seriously atypical & you probably don’t want to know them.
So, what happens when you have to process two conflicting beliefs?
One gets dumped in the idea shredder. And it actually doesn’t make a bit of difference which one is more factually accurate: you defend & protect whichever idea you *need to be true* in order not to have to be wrong at some point. The psychological & neurological stress experienced during moments of cognitive dissonance are so great, you’ll believe anything to protect your preexisting mental paradigm. It’s why people refuse to hear proof of things like climate change ((ummm … ☻)) or see clips of transgressions that they insist didn’t happen – in the event that they’ve already decided that they don’t believe it.” ~ The Truth About Lies: The Illusion of Honesty & The Evolution of Deceit, Aja Raden
Prior to this dryness the author detailed various plastique con artists. Correction: the grifters are hard as rebar. It’s the marks that are plastic – in the grifters’ hands.
One is/was Jefferson Randolph Smith. Aka Soapy Smith. I knew about him as the guy that used to sell bars of soap with the promise that some of them had a prize inside. He did that, among other things, in Denver. (There was a character in the early episodes of Deadwood patterned after Smith.) Later he wound up in Skagway. There, in 1898 according to Raden, he opened a telegraph office. He charged $5 to send telegraph messages to anyone in the US. Lines of customers out the door every day. Smith had a desk, with a telegraph machine on it. The machine had a wire coming out of it that went into the wall. But there were no telegraph lines in AK until 1900 – as anybody could see. Nobody that paid to “send” a telegram ever got a response.
Smith was small potatoes (& he got himself killed in Skagway) compared to the Brooklyn Bridge sellers, the guy that sold the Eiffel Tower for scrap twice simultaneously, the guy that made up a country, “Poyais,” raised huge sums from investors – connected investors – in Britain, sold land “there,” titles, offices. People liquidated, got on sailing ships to go “there” & start their new lives – & it was like Oakland. There was no there there. People died. Survivors straggled back. Story came out. But it didn’t stick to the con man. People had to come up with other narratives to deal with the cogdis. So free & clear, the guy went to Paris & did it all again. Only much bigger. Almost made out & off with the defrauded millions. But got caught. Again, cognitive dystrophy made it so the marks couldn’t bear for *that* to be true of him, & *especially* not true of them – so he was let go again.
Bernays used tech of the day to take bigger bites (for his clients). Bigger bites still are being tech-taken today. But the sharks have always known, & used what they know. The snacks have a hard time defending against it … a lot of bandwidth goes instead toward defending sunk cost errors.
“It’s pointless to discuss the finer details of this fraud, the density of the masks, the efficacy of M-95 versus dust filters, etc.- none of it makes any sense and it never did.”
So how (and when) did you get from ‘masks don’t work’ to ‘the whole Covid-19 is a hoax’?
Because those are two entirely different animals; and inducing “because they lied to me once, I can safely assume everything is a lie and always do the exact opposite of what I’m told” seems to be a bit precarious.
M, it sounds to me as if you should educate yourself. Check your local library or Amazon for a copy of Robt F. Kennedy jr’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci” and you’ll be up to speed with the rest of us.
The entire Covid 19 debacle happened for 2 reasons: 1) Genocide, 2) Greed
And you knew that in mid-2020 yourself?
I don’t like Monday-morning Quarterbacking,
nor do I need to make myself look smarter than I am.
Don’t bother trying to communicate with M. It’s impossible to communicate with someone 1 or more standard deviations less intelligent than you.
It takes one to know one?
Fauci et al showed hands in their AID’s scam-practice run. States & govs have never not showed the same hands. To be “innocent” of ipso facto history means your own hands show dirty. And that your ball-handling skills are good for warming specator’s seat.
Ain’t no waking them what pretends to be asleep.
But just in case bread & circuses ain’t enough for you, get into the DeLorean & drive it back to see what Kary Mullis said about, & to ~ threw down the gauntlet ~ Fauci et al (back in the thenaid’s days, as well as what he said PCR is/does). See what Peter Duesberg said, & how he was “cancelled” before that term was lexicon.
I have no idea what you are trying to tell me here.
Contrary to all the old farts around here who enjoy displaying their know-it-all superiority -while doing nothing of consequence- (some people now call that approach “black-pilling”),
I’m making serious efforts to get a grip if Russia is the place for me to emigrate to.
Preliminary answer: Yes.
“And you knew that in mid-2020 yourself?”
Yes. Fauci was already a known quantity, long before that.
Pleading ignorance is its own kind of malice aforethought; same as pleading guilty.
You couldn’t possibly look smarter ,m.
Wow, you so demolished me, especially that which I didn’t say!
You must be very proud of yourself

RE: “because they lied to me once, I can safely assume everything is a lie”
I’ve been reading his work for a while now, and I believe that this is one of Hardscrabble’s primary tenets for navigating our world today, and it seems to make a lot of sense.
If you are just playing the odds, assuming that everything coming out of government and media is a lie is not a bad way to go.
It used to be that the only honest sections in the newspaper were sports and weather. Between wokeism and global warming even those are pretty muc suspect now.
Question: Why would farmers pay hard-earned money to private forecasters when the NWS and NOAA provide accurate forecasts? The fact that these businesses even exist (much less thrive) should answer that question.
Fooled once is one thing.
After that fool’s the thing & it’s all just pure projection of holo(in head)grams that read “come get me.”
Reputation mattered once upon a time because fooled past once makes no sense at all – & would be liars knew it.
Now it’s heuristic (short circuiting shortcuts) credentials on deference-locomotive wheels, & the hell that goes with it.
So if it ain’t primary tenet, you just may be a tent, with a camels’ schnoz up yer flap.
Commitment to noncommittal until never enough data is collected is … balancing on “reasonable” fence rails & is … perfectly-“socially”-acceptably disguised precariousness.
Or preciousness.
Definitely nor precociousness.
Because everyone in medicine understood perfectly well what masks were used for- keeping spit out of open surgical wounds. The moment that they did a 180 and pretended that they would protect the vulnerable despite having never used them in any other setting before, you understood that they’d been given orders rather than making a decision based upon research and efficacy.
You have to try and think things through instead of always asking someone tom connect the dots for you, that way you can make good decisions on your own in the moment.
Thank you, hardscrabble! Well stated.
Some of us have been saying this ab ovo. Saying what? “We are being fed bullshit!”
A lot of dummies with a M.D. after their name who could memorize but not put two and two together actually believed it; the older M.D.s just retired, they had put aside enough to retire; many of the good, younger ones felt the proper action under this government-directed extortion was to continue to practice, mouth the lies required by the zampolits in their office, and try to treat their patients to the best of their ability under the circumstances – can you imagine being such a physician only to have a patient report you for not pushing the *vaccine* hard enough?
This is the Joe Biden New World Order government under which we’re living today in the USSA.
Prove me wrong!
Very often you are not speaking to your physician about healthcare. The works are coming out of their mouth, but they are following the protocols set out by the clinic lawyers and administrators. Most docs are employees these days and they either toe the line or are gone.
My doc is exceptional. She will say things like “The official clinic position is X, but I have a friend that thinks it should be Y. None-the-less, I am required to tell you X. Her “friend” of course does not exist. So she manages to skirt the officialdom.
Like that resident when my friend was hospitalized with oxygen dependent respiratory illness and asked about Vitamin c and Ivermectin: “I can’t give you that because it is not hospital protocol, but I am not going to stop you from taking whatever you took at home. Wink wink.”
I believe the best have left the building.
There is no excuse for knowingly abiding by the murderous policy/mandates. They knew. Or they knew they didn’t know and didn’t act on it and find out. Gun to their heads? Sure. Kill to pay your bills? Seriously?
The ones who did care have paid off their loans or have enough to retire. They can see they are not allowed to be doctors anymore and will be targetted and punished. Fuck it.
They’re gone and can you blame them? The decent medical people who are not in the same circumstance do care but can only ‘wink wink’ for so much and so long. People are dying and I don’t give a damn about their mortgage.
Not one bit.
Cheers
“Joe Biden” ANYTHING? Please.
Generations in the making. Since TIME Immemorial.
‘Something’ is bound to happen. Sooner, rather than Later.
Never going to happen. The cowardly prick will find endless excuses and rationalizations for his actions, in order to keep up the payments on his Mercedes and McMansion and maintenance for his materialistic pig wife.
Living with a kidney transplant due to a genetic issue PKD all of my older family members died before 50 with this issue .
Turns out it’s from the family side from northern Italy where easily 1 in 100,000 people have this issue .
Consequently any and all medications that are recommended I take 3 giant steps back and get all the information I can before consenting to take or inject anything !
The infectious disease MD on the Transplant followup group said he is told it is safe & effective but he said the decision was mine to make . I declined and said I have already beat 2 of the major side effects of the mRNA GBS & blood clots so the vaccine could exacerbate those issues . Something I do not need .
Funny he called me the next day on his personal phone to say DONT TAKE THE VACCINE !
I’m going to be 69 years old this summer !
Some doctors are trapped in a corporate system based on $NUMBERS$ not patient results .
It requires HONOR & INTEGRITY to battle the system from within .
Like the saying that came out of NAZI Germany from a group fighting the system from within
FORGET ME NOT
I’ll tell you what’s going to happen. We will start seeing GP’s retiring en mass. Their patients will become angry when they awaken to what’s happening.
what’s going to happen is when the M.D.s retire, we’ll all be seeing P.A.s who consider themselves just as good as MDs, not to demean the PAs, but, let’s face it, they just don’t have the depth of education that used to be available in the medical schools which today are more concerned with gender or the problems of whiteness or the general internship background obtained in the hospitals. I won’t even get into the ability to communicate with patients, as well as the commonality of language.
Their depth of education consists of what drug to prescribe for what symptom. They rarely look for the underlying cause which most of the time is self inflicted.
Hmmm. Older Docs, with character, integrity, and a haunting feeling that they’ve been willing conspirators in this?
Yeah, maybe some of them will walk away from the machine, and hunker down in anonymity to try and spare themselves from any vigilante justice.
But the younger ones? Younger than, say 50-55 years old?
I can’t see it happening.
They are slaves themselves.
To their medical education loan.
To their mortgage and car loans.
How are they going to raise their family, and still supply all the essentials,
like food, clothing, shelter, and affordable, reliable health care?
Certainly not by walking away from a career they’ve invested countless hours and dollars in.
No, the majority of them will be trapped.
They will be forced to stay in that system, regardless of how painful it is
to their ethics, their morals, their workloads, their psyche.
And, that’s IF they dodge the long term health degradation from the shots.
Even though the desire to escape by walking away will be strong,
the reality of their situation is that nothing they choose to do will give them the job security, regular income, and health insurance benefits that medical system employees can still depend on, regardless of where we go from here.
At their core, Doctors and specialists are very similar to a high end, skilled
auto mechanic.
Diagnose one of many waiting to be serviced, perform the service ASAP,
jump through the documentation hoops, expect a compensation amount for services rendered, then move on to the next patient / Audi that’s having problems and needing help to fix it.
It all comes down to numbers.
The more one processes, the more one earns.
Excellent comment, but I would quibble with this sentence:
Coerced, induced, enticed … but not forced. Whatever damage gets done to ethics, morals, and soul is all on them and their choice to put income ahead of those things.
This.
“Physician, heal thyself”

Soon they will have no choice.
I used to avoid doctor visits, but now I REALLY avoid doctor visits
I’ll take my chances on my own, thanks anyway
From the first line of the article: “The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens an apology and an explanation”.
Hmmm… “The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens A POUND OF FLESH CLOSEST TO THEIR HEART”.
Fixed it.
Dayum Jim, you’ve wallered-out this topic until it walks like one a them Capitol Hill Seattle freaks after renting my horny mule. Condense your voluminous flatulence into a healthy turd you’ll have some air left for the short stokes.
Like this:
Medical professionals… “have a long way to go just to recover their own honor and self-respect, (but first they must) collide with reality the hard way (and collectively coalesce into an) organized act of apology.
You mean like our Kente Clothed Congress did to repent centuries of kneeling on criminal, drug-addled niggers?
https://news.yahoo.com/democrats-knee-us-congress-george-floyd-tribute-154636468.html
Kneeling for niggers while they burned and looted bestowed bouquets of honor and self-respect to them all.
Jim, no degree of abject groveling will help those who have suffered from the Jab or watched loved ones die under enforced protocols forgive those who knowingly perpetrated or supported this evil conspiracy to hijack our bodies with lies from those we trusted.
You are shooting, crosseyed, at your shadow of hope.
If sniffing your own farts like smelling salt doesn’t clear your vision, try huffing the blowback from this friction.
This only begins to heal when the entire cabal is brought to justice and publicly hung.
Love means never having to say “I’m sorry.”.
You doctors injured people. Caused much grief in many families. And your actions even killed them. Sooo, you think I actually give a Flying Fuck about your apology?? Why? To sooth your massive ego? You; “Oh, your child died a week after I shot her up? Ooopsy … SO SORRY!! Hey … let’s be Frens, Okay?”. No. No way in hell. No, it’s NOT OK you murdering cocksucker.
Sticking a knife through your heart. THAT would be OK. Fuck repentance. Vengeance & Retaliation is better. After they bury your bloody corpse, I’ll apologize to your wife, mmmkay?
My wife, an ER Charge Nurse, would tell you that most doctor’s wives loathe them because they’re arrogant pricks unwaveringly addicted to worship.
Gonna apologize to all those wives after they toss dirt on hubby’s coffin and abruptly kneel to gratefully hoover your junk?
I’ll have my mule kick a few of them into the next world and join the funerals.
There has to be a stiff punishment or it will happen again (like this year). All who jabbed the sheep must do THE TIME or it’s no good. Saying we didn’t know and then keeping quiet over a year is unforgivable.
How does a regular family physician NOT KNOW his patient is fuk’d up after the shots? Specially if it happens to many of the same doctor’s patients, he has to know.
Love means never having to say “I’m sorry.”.
Sorry, bro. That’s Statist propaganda.
The TRUTH is that Love means ALWAYS HAVING to say “I’m Sorry”.
We ALL know it!
According to Ed Dowd 10% (nearly 33 million) of the population is on disability. Those people will be screwed when the money runs out.
Never trust anyone until they haven been proven trustworthy . This is an axiom everyone should live by.
I, like many others, learned this the hard way.
And, never trust an MD period. Do your own research. It may just save you life.

“You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.” — Anton Chekhov
Allow me, in all humility, to translate…
LIFE IS IMPOSSIBLE.
It is unsustainable.
It is irrational.
It should not exist.

My uncle was a doctor. He told us if we want to live a long life, to avoid doctors except for emergencies.
Doctors will tell their family things they don’t tell patients.
I was once acquainted with a post Nazi era doctor specializing in government funded abortions here in America. Between word and deed, he told me the exact same thing. And you should have heard his thoughts on Niggers!
Whoa!
Two bits of ancient wisdom to chew on:
When things reach their mature strength / We say that they have become old.
When we say they have become old / We mean that they have become contrary to the Tao.
Things contrary to the Tao soon pass away.

Isaiah 6:10: Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
I think most repentance that we see will be of the form, “Mistakes were made…”. Genuine repentance will be rare.
Now when you do it (there will be some), it is your duty to accept it (forgive us our trespasses…”).
I personally find it disgusting and deplorable to conflate religions. It is the calling card of Satan. As such, I can only respond…fuck you.

“Trust” is pronounced “trussed.” The honesty bias, the authority bias … please just let us have our bias-ply tyres, pretty-please tyrants?
“Call it.” ~ Anton Chigur
Save modern medicine? That’s same kind of whipped dog whine as “please just let us have our toaster ovens & steel-belted radials.” This death-dealing *is* modern medicine. And that was so before the hopped up colds, when it was only the third leading cause of death (according to themselves – so you know it’s a tight, honest, accounting …).
“In short, a professional class the public depends on to define reality have done everything possible to conceal and distort reality.”
In shorter, a parasite class that depends on how masses called “publics” define reality have done everything possible to capitalize/monetize the introspectionless distorters of reality that “publics” always are.
“Parasite class?” Too much credit. At most the lab coats & scrubs are mouth parts. Teeth. Sucking tubes. Maybe suction cups, like remoras have. Maybe dentures designed with an eye toward throwing off the CSItizenry. If you don’t see lampreys, you’re the one wearing the lampshade at this party.
“…doctors and their administrative cohorts have stealthily surrendered to a racketeering business model..”
Surrendered? Fuck off. They couldn’t wait to join up, be made guys/gals, in this racket. Credentialism. That China Syndrome … boomerang. Put ‘em all in a small space with lots of boomslangs.
the idea was to remove redundancies for the sake of “efficiency,”
“Redundancies” & “efficiencies” is code for “competition.” The Plutos are sure that instead of wasteful inefficient redundancy diffusing profits elsewhere it would be far better to convert those profits to loot ~ econ rents ~ & locate all of that into their pockets & coffers. What ensues is parabolic booms(langery) in the coffin building industry (which is also consolidated).
I have nothing to repent for.
I got fired for treating COVID patients. Shortly afterwards the Governors of the 2 states I worked in barred me from practicing because I wouldn’t get the jab.
I do housed calls now for cash.
I don’t make much but I am stayi ng try to my oath.
All true. Those with eyes that see & ears to hear know this is happening daily. For those that think this will improve then think again. It’s over folks. Prepare, persevere but mostly pray.
They’ve completely discredited their profession , which was still at the level of stone knives and bearskins anyway. They also find it more profitable to manage chronic disease , rather than cure it.
No credibility at all.
When hospitals are regulated by a state sponsored committee, that group of individuals are subject to the whims of those few in government who regulate them. Hospitals then forced all their doctors to follow suit regardless of how bad the outcome would be. Doctors were threatened with expulsion from their profession if they did not follow the dictates of that committee, (which by the way was subject to the demands of the CDC who have a revolving open door policy with Big Pharma), which in actuality has no lawful way to force capitulation, but the hospitals did so anyway, much to our detriment.
I am switching Cardiologist because the one I had for over ten years, turned out to have his head in the sand when it came to COVID and that Fake-Non-Vaccine. I have spent the last two or so years reading all I can about both, and it appears that hospitals cared more about their profits and payments of dividends to their stockholders than they did about their patients.
There is a somewhat of a silver lining on that dark dark cloud and it is that the corruption from the top down has become exposed. Big Pharma we found out, were calling the shots with a complicit media pushing the agenda for all it was worth. It got so bad, we began to believe something or someone was pushing the hysteria into the stratosphere. It has taken us over two years to bring to light the criminality of just about everyone in government and the regulatory agencies who we once trusted. They all had and have their fingers in that economic pie.
This is not so much an indictment of our politicians but of those unelected Rats who are protecting Biden and the administration from scrutiny. What has happened to America over the last two years would take multiple books to cover, but at least we know who the criminals are, so that when the civil war starts patriots will know who to take out first !!!
If the corruption comes from the top, then it goes all the way to the bottom, which is why there will be no imminent civil wars.
The “health” agencies continue to push the product. They won’t stop pushing and advocating for all shoulders to be punctured as many times as possible until they are forced to. Don’t hold your breath waiting for an apology.
NO. NO. And NO. The medical system is done. Our goose is cooked! Start lookin for God right now if you have got any brains at all.
Not really interested in repentance. These “doctors and medical professionals” need to just go! They are not fit to practice medicine. If the chose to stay they need to be sued into oblivion for their MALPRACTICE! At best that’s what it was. At worse it’s murder. I’ll let them choose what they want to call it
How many will trust going to the emergency room? Getting a simple vaccine etc…? What if you go into surgery? You can’t be subjected to a blood transfusion from a corrupted blood supply. Many of the vaccines are allegedly going to apply MRNA technology? Several people went to get a regular flu vaccine and received the COVID vaccine instead. Don’t trust the pharmacies either.
