I was a lifelong Democrat. I thought most conservatives were ignorant or evil or lying. I believed almost everything written in the New York Times, The New Republic, and the Atlantic. I was horrified when conservatives criticized the authorities. Every criticism I saw: I thought all of it was motivated by animus, resentment, self-interest, or ignorance.

Whatever truth there might have been in the criticism, I saw as a mere "half-truth": an exploitation of this or that cherrypicked fact being weaponized. Why did I see it in terms of weaponization? Because I was biased: I saw liberal establishment institutions and figures as fundamentally good, so all criticism of them was automatically interpreted as being in bad faith.

Didn't the critics know that these institutions or figures were fundamentally good? If they didn't, they were ignorant. If they did, they were evil. It was that simple. This meant that any legitimate criticisms would just be dismissed, as if bouncing off of an impenetrable bulletproof shield.

This all changed once I started writing about the pandemic. Soon people started talking about me the way I once thought about conservatives. This led to a complete identity collapse as I came to understand that my old worldview was hateful and ignorant, that I hadn't understood what I had been judging.

I cannot forget the hearing that led to my dismissal from medical school a year after I started writing. During the hearing, people talked about me as if I wasn't human. My behavior was interpreted in the worst possible light. Complete fabrications were created. Nobody was concerned with the truth, only horrified at my apparent "unprofessional behavior", which was really a mirror of their unprofessional behavior directed at me. They structured the hearing to make it virtually impossible for me to speak and explain that what was being said was a lie. And nobody seemed to have any problem with this. Why? Because I was bad. If I am bad, then every mistreatment and every violation of the school's own policies became justified. A person who is bad does not deserve any rights. They only deserve punishment.

But the thing I remember most was the allusions to my social media activity. They said, "Kevin is driven by resentment from his childhood." I wasn't. I was on good terms with my parents. They alleged that I needed psychotherapy to deal with this trauma. It was a completely fake story that they had constructed about me, to demean me, to marginalize me, to try to explain the views I had expressed: that something terribly wrong had happened during the pandemic. They couldn't imagine that I might have legitimate points. So they reduced me to the same kinds of psychological caricatures that I once reduced conservatives to in my own mind.

When I was dismissed, I was broken. But I had help from friends who helped me understand what happened. And I came to realize that a hysteria had overtaken the left. I spent a lot of time reading about show trials, about witch trials, and so on. I also connected with people who had experienced similar things and came to realize that something similar had happened to hundreds of physicians around the country. My story wasn't unique. It was all the same story over and over again.

I cannot believe the person I once was. I cannot believe that I could exist like that. I still don't understand how I could be like that, or how millions of people in this country could continue being like that. It disturbs me greatly.

One thing I know is that whatever this thing is that is driving people crazy needs to be destroyed. It is hostile to civilization and to our humanity. It causes us to dehumanize each other and try to destroy each other. It is the very same monstrous thing that I once attributed to conservatives. But it had been inside me, and I could now see it inside others. This is something I still grapple with.

"If only it were all so simple. If only there were evil people somewhere
insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them
from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts
through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of
his own heart?" - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

we are reaching the cognitive breakage point where the intensity of belief required to sustain the hallucinatory universes that many people have occupied simply cannot stand up to any more collisions with reality.

as the evidence against it mounts, the magnitude and implausibility of dogma needed to protect a false world view starts to rise in an exponential fashion.

such a rise rapidly overwhelms people, seemingly out of nowhere because the last 2 doublings are 75% of the cognitive burden and so you go from "barely holding it together" to "wildly, ostentatiously out of control" all at once.

buckle up, you're going to see a lot of this.

for a great many people who have been isolated in a great many echo chambers, the bumpy part of re-entry to reality is starting and the self appointed "moral majority" coming to terms with the fact that it was never either of those things is going to cause mass scale breakage.

you're going to see this kind of attack, threat, vandalism, and rage because when the stories they have told themselves become too absurd to sustain, it's the only outlet left to externally validated zealots whose external referents have long been fantasies. ...

the intensity of belief goes vertical as a self defense mechanism and and there is simply nothing one can call such a thing save madness. ...

but the sorts of folks they are setting off and who are burning tesla dealers and teslas do not. their minds have snapped and it’s no coincidence that it’s all the same people who simped for covid lockdowns and jail for the jabless. this is who they are, the low identity shock troops of “the party of love” (in the most orwellian sense) and their cynical handlers handling them. ...

the big difference between now and 2020 is the feds and states are not going to stand for it a second time. trump failed hard on the BLM riots. he let it get out of control. the states let it get out of control. everyone was too disoriented and intimidated.

seems unlikely this time.

The racketeering operation was perfectly illustrated in the DOGE’s recent deconstruction of USAID. That agency worked as a gigantic money laundering matrix to pay Democratic Party activists for the sole purpose of maintaining and expanding the party’s power — its ability to push American citizens around, control our lives, tell us how to live, how to think, and, ultimately, in the Covid-19 scam, telling us to take our shots, get lost, and die. Pitifully, a lot of those vaxx victims were the Democratic Party’s own rank and file, which shows you how psychotically suicidal the Democratic Party became.

By and large, it was conservatives who avoided the vaxxes because they were able psychologically to entertain the evidence that Covid was a nefarious set-up and that, month-by-month, the vaxxes were proving to be both ineffective and harmful. Democrats, in their Woke fugue state, could not do that. Even today, they insist that their vaxx injuries are “long Covid” and would be worse if not for the additional boosters they took. Poor dumb bunnies.

they literally think this is a "messaging" problem and that if they just explain it in a more pedantically patronizing fashion this time, we'll all come to our senses and learn to love obeying them.

they are iron bar sure they are both right and righteous. evidence does not matter. opinion does not matter. ends justify means and we, your betters, those who matter, are sure that our ends are good.

this is how you construct an atrocity mill, a totalitarian, authoritarian system that lives out the beating nightmare heart of CS lewis’s famous admonition:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.... To be cured' against one's will... of states which we may not regard as disease is to be those who have not put on a level of yet reached the age of reason... to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
-C.S. Lewis

surely by now the truth of this maxim must be manifest to most who just lived through the times covidian and the leaping grab for the brass ring of globalist domination of money and commerce and production and ethics that came with their milspec fusillade of propaganda and tyranny backed by endless, even ostentatious moral opprobrium and inversion?

they saw the world as an ant farm to be ordered. ...

they start with a vision, one of which they are iron bar sure. it’s their mission, the path right and righteous from which no right-thinking sapient may diverge. so sure are they of doctrine and dogma that should you deviate from their gospel, it’s taken as proof that you are, in fact, not right thinking. this is because you are either too stupid or too evil to understand.

the first instinct is to explain again, message harder, use smaller words to make the case so your little pea brain will get it. surely, if we could just bring our enlightened discourse down to a level that the grubby commoners may grasp, they will accede to our obvious rightness! “we can teach them!” ...

this is how we flip to “manufacturing consent.” you get fake science bought bespoke to justify the unjustifiable. you get propaganda to proselytize it and legions of talking point insufferable complex hucksters to ensure the saturation bombing of the big lie told everywhere and always. you embed your ideas into everything, every channel, every vector and education. you make it seem impossible to disagree and convince those who do that they are alone and alien. you construct a vast intellectual prison of solipsistic silence enforced by cancel culture in which dissent is too frightening to engage in. it’s the society scale abilene paradox of preference falsification where everyone pretends to be woke or willing to become poor to change the weather because they think that everyone else is. this is the classic bolshevik/menshevik tactic to make a minority appear a majority.

it’s seen as necessary, even vital, the “noble lie” to serve greater truth and if we have to mislead you to make you see that we’re correct, so be it. (after all, it’s for your own good.)

this commences the slippery slope where the more they lie, the more they feel they need to lie and the more justified they feel in doing so.

it becomes an entire recursive worldview.

lauren powell jobs (steve job’s widow) who never created anything of note uses her vast inherited wealth to purchase “the atlantic” and use it to "take over the cultural narrative to amplify our work." ...

covid was the great sorting hat and it built a massive new alliance of the forgotten center who just wanted liberty and to be left alone, the orthogonal axis of “liberty vs authoritarian” that exists independent of left and right and belies the increasing irrelevance of that distinction in an age of uniparties bending the far right and far left of the political horseshoe into a circle where google touches halliburton and cheneys go democrat.

new outlets like substack emerge. twitter changes hands. we the people speak and find that we are the majority and that we are well and truly pissed.

obviously, those in power do not like this. it threatens them.

disdain and contempt for the commoners builds. the attitude turns toxic, adversarial, one of capture and conquest. ...

the seemingly tolerable long-games of “we need to dominate the world to save it” around climate scams, DEI, bad medicine and worse healthcare, CBDC’s, and “fascists for freedom” falsity were exploded by the acute vision of just how far these people were willing to go under covid. they ravaged the whole world, its lives and livelihoods, its business and education. “freedom has been suspended. if you comply, perhaps you can earn it back.”

anyone who falls for that one was born to be a slave.

the spectacle of “the good guys from the west” turning their actual military info-war teams on their own populations to grab and validate control was a sight unseen since the 1930’s.

they will never get the stink of it off.

In 2022, I interviewed a Priest in Perth who confessed to me, in the confessional, that over one hundred parishioners had confessed to him that they had vaccine injuries, but none would report them.

The reason?

They did not want to be seen as anti-vaxxers. If the pain got too bad, Long Covid was the way to retain the status they’d earned by taking the shot. ...

The strategy to be in the running for more funding.

It was the strategy for climbing in front of those who didn’t comply.

What if, to many, life is not about integrity, but about status, and status is and always has been a game? ...

What if the majority of people were never asleep? I have often thought this.

What if, on the morning we were awoken by vaccine mandates, we were all offered a choice?

The Tribe is turning Left. We are taking with us all the jobs, committees, sports clubs, the lot. If you want to play or even just watch, you will have to take this jab, numerous times.

Whereas our side, all we had to offer the indecisive public was the game plan of writing freedom on a piece of core flute before joining us in the streets, where together we could get pepper sprayed.

Most of those I’ve interviewed, who said no, claim an inner voice told them to decline—a Spiritual Coach, perhaps— And we listened to this coach, while others evaluated the scales of circumstance:

My soul vs. my job, my house, my kids, my career, my ambitions, and chose to risk it.

That must have been very hard.

I have spoken to vaccinators who told me about how people, grown men, were in tears as they jabbed them, and most people looked up to them and said, “I don’t want this.” It was at that moment when they must have seen the old rules of life, informed consent and the like, had been trashed.

They weren’t just in a new game now, but a new world, where integrity meant compliance. Silence. ...

So all those who played along not only compromised their health by welcoming this dangerous shite into their veins, but they compromised their souls to do so. ...

The road before us, our culture, has fallen dark. This is because the spark in many Australians has been doused by the feeling that they not only betrayed themselves, but something older and far deeper.

But that is not the truth.

If there is a God, then the glue he uses to connect us all is Love.

And the other, darker force, hate, is used to try to challenge and corrode this love.

But after all our endless wars, famines, and genocides, when children are born, and first begin to draw pictures people that we can comprehend, they draw houses, families, and hearts. They draw love.

We are not slaves unless we choose to be slaves, and new plays and new roles, in which you can rediscover your true light and shine, are accessed through finding the courage to make a new choice.

If there is no fact in the universe to learn other than this, then I hope one day that you realise that the freedom to be you—your greatest, unwarped gift—is still there within you.

I know you can feel it yearning to stretch its limbs and breathe; I guess all you have to do is reevaluate the stage you are on, and if there is nothing on the boards but endless bills and long hours in a job you don’t like, then perhaps instead of handing over more of your precious power and time, to them, as you continue to get fatter, you could wake up and join us.

For weirdly, most of us know that we are on the right path; we can feel it. It’s profound.

It gives us a great sense of purpose and drive.

Ironically though, we don’t know where we are going. Such is the exhilaration of being free.

What’s interesting about One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is that, in the novel, there’s a character who explicitly says, “We‘re living in a matriarchy, man.” The point isn’t just about rule by women, but about the medicalisation of society more broadly. Medicine is the devouring mother archetype.

There’s actually an entire genre of angry feminist lit-crit devoted to mewling and screaming about how Ken Kesey is wrong and medical tyranny is actually extreme patriarchy, but events of the pandemic showed just how right he was. Medical tyranny, especially under the absurd guise of safetyism where everybody is locked in their houses forever and forced to take experimental treatments for their own good, is the darkest possible mutation of motherhood on a societal level.

To be sure, I never once believed the Covid shot would result in public health benefits, but that is because I read books in Virology 101: a fast-spreading, fast-mutating respiratory infection with a zoonotic reservoir will always outwit any conceivable shot called a vaccine. If such a thing did miraculously come into existence, it would be a decade in the testing.

That was conventional wisdom a few generations ago, but so was the functioning of natural immunity via exposure.

It was research into the history of Covid controls that brought a shift toward awareness. It gradually dawned on me, and pretty much everyone associated with Brownstone, that the whole thinking behind lockdowns (and closures, censorship, and compliance protocols) was indeed to prepare the public for the shots, the military countermeasures marketed as vaccines, even though they stopped neither infection nor transmission.

If that shocks you, you haven’t been following the mountains of evidence that finally piled up against my long-running assumption that this was just mistaken judgment rooted in epidemiologic fallacy. The apparent goal was maximum uptake through any means possible: social isolation, forced face covering, fear propaganda, and finally mandates enforced by penalty of unemployment, professional disgrace, and poverty.

In passing, I truly had no excuse not to know this, since this is precisely what I was told by the very man who claims to be the inventor of lockdowns, a person who now runs a vaccine company. He specifically said to me in April 2020 that the whole purpose of the lockdown was to wait for the shot. I didn’t believe him, hung up, and forgot about the call. He was of course telling me the whole plan.

It’s astonishing to consider the power of an industry that could prevail on nearly all governments in the world to destroy their economies and violate citizens’ rights at once and then force an experimental product on billions. That’s more power than the East India Company ever had, certainly, and probably more than even the most well-heeled munitions manufacturer. That’s capture of the ultimate sort, with an agenda so rotten that it should hardly surprise anyone that the public has lost trust.

An industry this powerful can also keep itself off the list of possible agents of harm in any investigations concerning chronic disease. It devotes vast resources to this purpose: that’s the whole point of pharmaceutical advertising, not just to sell products but to keep the media quiet.

That is a serious source of worry right now. Can we get to the truth?

Avoiding the topic of vaccines, then, was never a viable path for an institute founded to address the interaction of public health and freedom generally. Inevitably, the fallout from these egregious years has shone a public spotlight on vaccines, the subsidized and protected industry, its power, and thus urge some measure of accountability. That inquiry eventually must address vaccine harms, which have been high even from the data we have, though we know for sure that the harms are underreported.

Here, the topic of autism is also unavoidable, if only as an expression of public skepticism of the medical establishment, simultaneous with vast vaccine harms and an epidemic of autism spectrum disorders. And Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., together with his extraordinary team, has sworn to get to the bottom of it quickly.

he really needs to do is ban the mRNA death serum right now because it is still being injected into millions of people, including millions of children.

My brother-in-law is vaxxed to the max. After one of his vaccine sessions he got extremely sick, but came out of it saying "The vaccine saved my life." There's no way to convince him otherwise.

I have other distant family members who are rather quiet about it all. They'll admit they don't intend to get more shots, but won't say why. Some people appear to think the shot didn't work and say that's why they won't get more. On some deeper level, I think they know.

Right, it's pretty funny.

If they take the vaxx and don't get sick, "the vaxx worked"
If they take the vaxx and do get sick, "it would have been worse without the vaxx"

Three siblings rescued from house of horrors after ‘COVID syndrome’ parents kept them locked inside since 2021

Three children were dramatically rescued from a COVID lockdown house of horrors after being forced for years to stay inside and wear face masks long after pandemic restrictions ended.

The siblings — 8-year-old twins and a 10-year-old — were finally freed from the home in Oviedo in Spain’s northwest on Monday after being locked inside since 2021, local outlet El Comercio reported.

“As soon as we got them out, all three children began to breathe deeply, as if they had never been outside before,” an investigator said.

Harrowing photos published by Spanish media showed the kids, who are German, emerging from the home wearing face masks.

Immediately after stepping outside, cops said, the children appeared to be amazed and went to touch the grass.

The children’s parents, only identified as a 48-year-old German-American woman and her 53-year-old German husband, were arrested and slapped with domestic violence and child abandonment charges.

Investigators said the parents were suffering from “COVID syndrome” and had allegedly forced the entire family to live under strict lockdown conditions for several years.

Cops made the grim discovery after neighbors reported that the children living inside hadn’t been going to school.

“The children were in terrible shape. It was absolutely outrageous,” an investigator told El Mundo.

“Not malnourished, because they were fed. But they were also dirty … [and] completely cut off from reality, and not just because they didn’t go to school.”

“When we took them out of the house, into the garden, where they wouldn’t even go outside, they saw a snail and went crazy, freaked out.”

Why Didn't the Americans Unite to Save America?

No war in the history of mankind has produced the catastrophic level of lost lives, economic harm, and global destruction of freedom as the COVID-19 War on Humanity. ...

The Holocaust victims were told that war prisons were ‘work or quarantine camps’, gas chambers were ‘showers’, torture was ‘medical care’, and that ‘work sets you free.’ Holocaust victims were not told that they were prisoners of war captured by their own government. They were told if they followed orders, eventually things would return to normal.

Many patriotic Americans seem to think we simply have a rogue administration with an open border, stolen election, destructive economic policies, labeling of those who speak against the narrative as ‘domestic terrorists,’ and unconstitutional emergency tests, laws, mandates and bioweapon injections falsely promoted as ‘safe and effective mRNA vaccines.’

If we were at war, the US government would be guilty of engaging in non-kinetic warfare against their own citizens. ...

Success of non-kinetic warfare is often contingent on consistent reverberating propaganda combined with blocking access to alternative viewpoints and information, while publicly ridiculing those who express an alternative viewpoint, or worse, labeling them as domestic terrorists by the FBI. ...

Attack 2: Begin the global production of bioweapons under the guise of ‘COVID-19 medical countermeasures’, while guaranteeing blanket immunity for the manufacturers from the government.

On February 4, 2020, HHS Secretary Alex Azar declared that that the novel coronavirus was a Threat to National Security, enabling the development, manufacturing and release of emergency use authorized (EUA) medical countermeasures (COVID-19 ‘vaccines’). On this day, manufacturers such as Pfizer, Fosun Pharma (China), Sinopeg (China), Moderna, et al., could begin global manufacturing of the COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ in anticipation of an emergency use authorization (EUA), without undergoing minimal animal and human trials to prove safety or efficacy, and without having to adhere to any good manufacturing practice standards. ...

Attack 4: Gaslight, terrorize, and guilt the American people into house arrest resulting in the destruction of the economy. ...

On March 26, 2020, Fauci announced to his colleagues in China and the global scientific community that COVID-19 was basically the same as the flu. Then 5 days later he told the American people it was a ‘highly deadly’ pandemic and if we didn’t lock ourselves in our homes, millions would die. We were gaslit.

Some of the critical ‘life-saving’ rules of the lockdowns included; all citizens remain in their homes (including healthy adults and school-aged children - with the exception of ‘essential workers’), small businesses close down, beaches and parks shut down, and churches close. If an American had to leave their home to get essential items or healthcare services, social distancing was strictly enforced and gatherings with family and friends from other households was forbidden.

If we are at war; one may contemplate that if America had been invaded by an enemy on March 31, 2020, that the enemy would use military force to enforce similar lockdown rules until they were; able to build prison camps; import weapons; and install the necessary technology infrastructure on US soil that would be needed to enslave, injure, and execute civilians.

On March 31, 2020, our nation was severely harmed by our enemies. Civilians were put under house arrest, and we had our unalienable God-given rights stripped from us while our businesses, communities, and children’s futures were being destroyed.

The propaganda, threats of police enforcement, and threats of criminal or civil prosecution for civilians who do not obey the new rules of warfare, are extremely effective in gaslighting and coercing Americans into being prisoners of their own government, dividing the nation, and destroying our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

As of today, the attack on Americans using COVID-19 tactics and weapons of warfare appears to have eased up, but the enemy has not retreated. The injections, tests, and pills are abundantly available throughout our communities. All of which can only cause disease, disabilities, and death. All COVID-19 products can be removed from our communities if state governors declare that COVID-19 is no longer a threat to public safety in their state. No one has done this. Why not?

Enemies of America and humanity are using financial incentives and persuasive neurolinguistic messaging to gain the cooperation of our government officials, public leaders, corporate America, healthcare industry, Big Tech, educational system, mainstream media, schools, and churches to continue this malfeasant, coercive propaganda campaign. Our enemies have deceptively recruited or coerced government officials, local leaders and political figures throughout our nation to support the plan to destroy America from within.



(Bourla must be tried and hanged for his crimes against humanity, perhaps the worst of which was his complete and shameless inversion of the truth. BOURLA HIMSELF is responsible for millions of deaths by selling the dangerous and defective mRNA injections and vilifying those who objected.)

We have seen or heard about the COVID-19 ‘quarantine camps’ built throughout our nation. They are not camps. They are prisons for U.S. citizens. The CDC refers to the prisons as ‘quarantine camps’ and to house-arrest as ‘Household Shielding’ in their guidelines entitled, “Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.”

We are being warned of another pandemic hitting soon. If we don’t voluntarily submit to the next bioweapon injection or voluntarily go to these prisons, will local law enforcement or the military use force to detain us?

Will someone look back 80 years from now and ask, “Why didn’t the Americans unite to save America?”
“The Americans were told that they were going to a COVID-19 quarantine camp for public safety and once they were no longer a high-risk to others, they could go back home.”

“The Americans didn’t know the ‘vaccines’ were bioweapons and thought they were winning when they dropped the vaccine mandates.”

“The Americans believed that a top-secret military operation was in charge and the destruction of their nation and injury and murder of adults and children was ‘part of the plan’ to wake people up before America could be saved.”

“During COVID-19, the Americans thought the elimination of their rights was for public health safety. They were not told that they were taken as prisoners of war captured by their own government and the victims of the most evil propaganda, psychological warfare, and biological weapons experimentation in the history of humanity. They were told the bioweapons were vaccines. If they had known, leaders would have risen up to warn the nation about the weapons of mass destruction, unite the people, and save America.”

Millions of lives have been lost, not due to a virus, but due to COVID-19 government policies and medical counter measures. Propaganda, policies and products have done irreparable harm to the nations of humanity, our communities, and our children.
