Toby - TY for your clarity on Wolf's books, her dedication & importance to the search for C19 truth & for your empathy for Naomi Klein (as difficult as it is to empathize w/those who demonize us as true freedom-fighters) since being empathetic w/others makes us caring, loving & fully sentient humans.
I completely related to this comment of yours re: NK's works as she was also a hero of mine for her searing exposes of disaster capitalism around the world in her writings & books.
You say: "Watching my former heroes succumb to fascism is one of the most heartbreaking aspects of the iatrogenocide. Naomi Klein was once my favorite public intellectual. I’ve seen her speak in person several times. She’s the scholar I most sought to emulate. But during the pandemic she became a Pharma fascist. This book review is the story of how she unwittingly went from fierce critic of capitalism to a shameless defender of its worst aspects…."
I read this stack way back when you published it but don't think that I commented on it then. So when I read MCM's recent Died Suddenly stack today mentioning it I went back & read it again. And then I restacked it with the note below:
Absolutely brilliant analysis of Naomi Klein’s book - titled “Doppelganger” - & its attacks on Dr Naomi Wolf & Wolf’s research/books & efforts to totally expose the C19 debacle through a statistical analysis of govt, medical & corporate documents.
Toby Rogers writes:
“Dr. Wolf, in her writings on and and in her numerous appearances on podcasts and TV, is making verifiable claims. If one thinks she’s wrong one can go look up her sources and challenge them however one wishes. Dr. Wolf wrote an entire book explaining her views — The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, COVID-19 and The War Against the Human naomiwolf.substack.com (published May 31, 2022) and Dr. Wolf published “The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer's Crimes Against Humanity” (published September 10, 2024)
naomiwolf.substack.com (on January 16, 2023). Yet neither book is mentioned in Doppelganger.”
“Ms. Klein’s entire engagement with the scientific debate in connection with [so-called] Covid and [so-called] Covid vaccines consists of the following sentences:”
“That is not how lipid nanoparticles work. It is not how vaccines work. It is not how anything works.” p. 112.
“At no point does Ms. Klein ever provide any evidence of how these things “actually” work according to her trusted experts. Instead Ms. Klein’s entire attack on Dr. Wolf’s verifiable claims boils down to ‘nuh-uh!’”
“Later Ms. Klein gives away the game by saying that the general public could not possibly read and understand vaccine studies for themselves. That is a flat out lie. The statistics in vaccine studies are relatively straightforward — just odds ratios, risk ratios, and such. Anyone with at least one semester of college statistics (or even a good high school statistics class) can understand them and see how they are manipulated and rigged.”
“What this tells us though is that Ms. Klein has never read an original vaccine study for herself, which means that all of her opinions about vaccines come from secondary sources — filtered through the gatekeepers who usually have a financial conflict of interest.”
Sending love & blessings to you, Toby, & all our fellow truth-tellers who brave public contempt & dismissal for simply - courageously - following the facts, evidence & sharing it with everyone. <3
Thank you for this brilliant analysis of something which didn't make any sense. I watched an interview with Naomi Klein discussing this book and was surprised at how unintelligent she sounded when discussing it. I've found that people who focus on "conspiracy theories" as explanations, seem to lose the ability to think clearly. Now that you've explained the emotional defense system going on, it makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, only someone with a tremendous sense of her own infallibility, would take her personal struggle into the public realm and try to defame another person who is obviously doing something factually verifiable and is willing to pay a high price for her convictions. If only Ms. Klein had sought out wise advice and the publisher had the ethics to turn her away, for her own good.
I was surprised and very disappointed when learning Joan Baez had painted a portrait of Fauci and had shared a fawning letter to him. What has happened to previously questioning fighters? Since when do they bow down to those who are serving the very corrupt power structures that these folks used to rail against? Maybe Joan's shadow might hold a clue?
Great article! But I can’t help but feeling, you’re being way too kind and sympathetic toward Ms. Klein. Like so many of her ilk, she dug herself into a massive hole through being so blinkered in her thinking.
I predicted some months ago, that when the curtain finally begins to fall and the true magnitude of the mass death and systemic corruption are revealed and can no longer be denied—the hardcore Covidians (with all their wilful denial and cognitive dissonance) will do all they can in order to protect their medically militarised knights in shining armour! That is, they will literally defend their assailants to the death!
They’ve been ever so quiet for some time now, but I’m beginning to see them pop up all over the place on various online forum boards and chat groups—attacking all and any who dare to speak ill of their pandemic heroes!
They’re absolutely loving this tyranny, and will attack anyone who threatens to bring their illusory world down! So get ready!—’cause it’s gonna get hostile!
They’re gonna fight like all hell to protect those who kept them safe from a never ending array of ludicrously fictitious and forever mutating killer viruses; rare tropical diseases and life threatening medical disorders! To protect those who offered them a reason to truly feel alive! To feel like "valid human beings"— to feel a belonging to the cultish hive-mind collective and their fanatically driven heroic battle toward saving all of humankind at any cost!—regardless of social impacts, needless suffering and the crushing of love, life and liberty!
Toby, I just re-read this calm, rational appeal to common sense and unity after Mark Crispin Miller referenced it in his Substack today. And found it even more timely and existentially important than in the first read, given where we are now in the fight. Naomi Klein was also one of MY biggest heroes, and her about-face was deeply troubling -- frightening, actually If brilliant minds like hers could be so thoroughly co-opted and derailed, what hope was there for someone like me who depended on her scholarly insights? Thankfully, you and others have taken up the mantle. I just wonder -- after this post, has Ms. Klein ever responded? Or spewed any of her seemingly inexhaustible self-hatred in your direction?
I love the article, and am a devoted follower of doppleganger Wolf. But I am not sure she is right about the exiled German professors who, presumably, landed at the New School after the war being "resurrected" Marxists. I think this may be a long-passed down myth about the nature of the New School. Yes, it was originally called the University in Exile because it gave an academic home to exiled mostly Jewish German professors. But I have no reason to believe that they philosophically, or even psychologically, represented Marxism, or socialism, or Communism. I was at the psychology graduate division of New School, getting my Masters between 1969-71. It is possible that those professors that Naomi W. is referring to were no longer there. Perhaps even dead. But I am not convinced that this statement she makes about the history of the school, and the philosophical bent of its early faculty is accurate. My distinguished professors included: 1) the very significant Elizabeth Loftus, researcher and author, who has transformed our concept of the nature of memory, and challenged the accuracy of "eye-witness testimony" in her impeccable research such that several states have adopted the necessity for warning juries about the sometime unreliability of memory from eye-witness accounts; 2) Stanley Coren, researcher and author who is now known for his deep understanding of dogs; 3) Bernie Weitzman, a Buddhist, who exuded his principles of kindness and empathy in every lecture he gave; 4) Leon Festinger, who gave us the "cognitive dissonance" theory. Those are just a few of whom I studied with and learned from. And, of course, there was Hannah Arendt. She was not in the psychology program, and thus I did not formally take any classes per se from her. But I sat in as a guest whenever I could (hope the New School will not belatedly come after me for this admission). And, as she is a household name for those with any inclination on understanding the phenomenon of Nazi Germany, I shouldn't need to say that she ever had any inclinations toward Marxism, or any other socialistic/Communistic tendencies. It is possible that by the time I got there in the late 60s/early 70s that the professors of the ilk Naomi W has described had left, or even died. But, I do not believe that they were part of the graduate psychology program. I would be interested to know some specific names if Naomi has any so I can compare them, as well, to my personal experience of being at the New School and getting a fine education (before I moved to City University of New York for my Ph.D.). If this small (possible) correction is correct, I hope that it will be taken with the further understanding that I am an ardent fan of N Wolf, deeply appreciative of what she has accomplished, and continues as a leading spokesperson in our fight for reason and sanity. Jane G. Goldberg, Ph.D.
It's not only Ms. Kleins misplaced grief, but rather her inconsolable guilt. People haven't a clue how this group of deniers is such a tremendous force to be reckoned with. They were all well aware of the controversy and still went ahead and vaccinated the child to prove THEY were right. I forget where I read it perhaps it was Substack or maybe the NYT but someone wrote an article vehemently denying the correlation of vaccines to autism and other health issues. The writer was lambasted in the comment section. Hundreds upon hundreds of parents wrote of actual personal experiences and therefore it confirmed they were all authentic. Although I didn't print the article I did print the comment section and show it to people who still swear child vaccines are safe. I personally won't vaccinate my dog but also make it a point never to force my opinion on others and simply say read this, and then decide for yourself. The mere fact of extremely low rates in the Amish Community I think speak volumes.
Thanks what you wrote is strong and clear about Klein. You state "You can start by reading my doctoral thesis, The Political Economy of Autism. It’s all there — how science and medicine were captured, how the childhood vaccine schedule along with lots of other toxicants are causing the autism epidemic, how regulators work for industry and not the people." There is yet another big capture and that is the corruption of economics. Please view my ppt talk on this titled COVID and The Corruption of Medicine and Economics here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBwPX1tbx7I
I believe this: the anti-CoronaPrank crowd, if any are influential and get a media audience they are under constant threat of cancellation or outright murder, extortion etc.
Kary Mullis comes to mind;
The sanitation of RFKjr's opinions: can he really support the genocide of Palestinians when the govmnt he serves, and the Zio-Israelis have proven time and again that they will assassinate those that are exposing them;
The kidnapping of Reiner Fullmich;
The assassinations of the presidents of Burundi and Tanzania...
The obtuse demonization of anti-vaxxers and the Trucker Convoy.( how long before the authorities begin shooting?)
Naomi has had 3years to be re-programmed, OR ELSE.
She will never be reprogrammed. Canadians think they are a cut above because they are living in a state which has had universal healthcare for many years. She and many others thought this meant they were getting good care from honest people. She has never seen the other side (natural medicine) and probably believes it's bunk, anyway because of doctor dad's background. And she has no idea how dangerous pharma is although the evidence is plain to see with a little internet search. The Canadian left is now as bourgeois as the American left. It used to be very militant. (Search the Winnipeg general strike).
If you look at the IMAGE she projects it is button down, austere, etc, while Naomi Wolf is more southern belle. That's the part she really hates, AND the southern belle has a PhD...horrors!
Naomi Klein is not alone in her rigid thinking as we all know by watching the line-ups for the kill shots. Still, you'd think by now she would begin to question all of this...it's so glaringly obvious to the red pilled.
I am Canadian and do not agree with anything that Naomi Klein says and it is quite a statement to say Canadians feel they are a cut above...that is a huge generalization. We used to be fortunate with our CDN TAX PAYER FUNDED HEALTH SYSTEM (available to all who are citizens or not apparently), but now, NOT SO Much, welcome to CUBAda, CanaZUELA and ChinADA these days... We also enjoy full blown censorship of people, we also have political prisoners in jail for Peacefully protesting the mandates...we are also having our natural supplements taken away due to a Bill that recently passed. We have had nothing but lies told to us and our judicial system has proven itself to be quite corrupt these past few years....everything has been politicized to fit the totalitarian agenda that is making it's way to all western nations. People of the world need to unite and realize that we are all HUMANS and forget the differences surrounding our race, religion, sex...all part of the plan to keep us divided...just like in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
I love this article. It is strange to me that Naomi Klein has failed to understand something that should be transparently obvious to her as media savvy and media immersed as she is. Naomi Wolf has only been interviewed on so-called "right wing" media because no covid dissident, or anyone who is merely curious and has questions, has any hope of getting a look-in on any of the so-called "left" leaning media. No f-ing way. Additionally, the fact she is still thinking in terms of the left - right paradigm shows how out of touch and off the field she now is. Ditto Chomsky et al. I've probably already posted a comment similar to this but I couldn't resist re-reading this article when it popped up in front of me again.
Thank you for this amazing analysis of Ms Klein's fall from grace, even though she is likely oblivious to it. I have personally been shocked to find that several of my friends, and admired heroines and heroes have crossed over to the dark side in the past 4 years, those who were advocates and teachers of a natural way of life. I would add one thing to your suppositions about Ms. Klein, that she is likely jabbed and boosted, and that has affected her ability to think, feel and act with human authenticity and clarity. She may be on her way to a true dark side as the Borg that the dark ones are attempting to create us to be. Just sayin'......
This is SO brilliant! Just read it again after seeing Klein turn up in the film Planet Local, where she is reading her script like an obvious limited hangout/controlled opposition: "we will be facing more shocks - more novel viruses, more cataclysmic storms...the rocky world of climate chaos...", admitting "I'm an internationalist". How the other Planet Locals can't see this beats me!
Yes, I can't fathom why people believe we will be facing more "novel" viruses (other than malicious intent). Why would we be? There is nothing in our history to make that case. Don't the believers wonder why or how that would be true? It is simply not logical.
JJ Couey is the best sleuth when it comes to how the Narrative of zoonotic pandemic-potential-viruses has been seeded for years along with other features of "virology" that we're meant to take as given, when in fact they have VERY questionable foundations. Here's one of his recent presentations in case you're not familiar with him: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2133599821
I think Naomi Klein and Peter Hotez have a lot in common. They will do absolutely everything they can to destroy anyone who threatens the narrative of their beliefs. Naomi Wolf is to Klein what RFK jr. is to Hotez.
AJKay discusses her own experience having an autistic child and being in vehement, evangelical denial about a relationship to vaccines speaks to your analysis of Klein. How she breaks through that ideological block makes for a hopeful story - and it supports everything you had to say about Klein's own misplaced grief.
Toby - TY for your clarity on Wolf's books, her dedication & importance to the search for C19 truth & for your empathy for Naomi Klein (as difficult as it is to empathize w/those who demonize us as true freedom-fighters) since being empathetic w/others makes us caring, loving & fully sentient humans.

I’m guessing Klein was always a fascist and you might want to check your views on just who deserves your respect!

Alas, no, Klein does not engage with critics to her left. She prefers battling the straw men she constructs on the right.
