On New Year’s eve, Forrest Maready posted a 21-part thread titled, “My top 21 epiphanies, realizations, reluctant admissions, and random thoughts for 2021.” It’s a brilliant read: In this article I thought I would describe my own lessons from 2021 — the second year of the pandemic and the 35th year of the Pharma genocide (that began with the 1986 Act).
I learned from the pandemic that ONE man can make a difference. You personally woke me up (prepandemic Twitter) and I work in medicine. I paid it forward in spades! March on!!!
as always thank you for being a light for us. I said this was bs from day one but no one would listen to me because I'm a stay at home mom. But this did make great changes for my family. I knew we had to get out of CA asap so we moved out of state in aug. 20' and best decision we ever made. At this point my kids are protected by law for vax choice and we live pretty normally day to day. Our county just reinstated a mask mandate but we ignore it and no one bothers us.
I’ve been hollering since 2010, when I finally decided to free my son from the public school system. I didn’t know the name of what was going on, but it was clear SOMETHING was. That’s when I woke up…a day late and a dollar short, but awake, at least. Cheers to us SAHMs! 🎉
yes cheers! as soon as that planned measles outbreak at disney happened and they took away all exemptions I knew it was time to go. at the time i was worried they were going to mandate HPV and there is no way I would do that (unfortunately I didn't wake up to the truth until my kids had most of their early vax by that time).
If you're ever up for moving, we need more like minded in AZ!
Oh, I fought tooth and nail against HPV! Like you, however, my poor son had all the other vaccines given in ‘97-‘98, including varicella (chicken pox). Don’t know if it’s related, but he’s got Tourette’s, and it doesn’t run in my husband or my families.
My BiL is in AZ (Avondale) and he keeps trying to get us to move. AZ must be expecting an influx: the development around Avondale is INSANE. Whereabouts are you?
It’s hard: my husband and I are both So Cal natives. In fact, we live in the same neighborhood my husband grew up in. Most of our extended family and friends are here; we have roots. But we have no illusions about how bad it’s going to get. We won’t be surprised if we have to just leave with what we can carry in the not-so-distant future.
we are in tucson which is a liberal city but still nothing compared to CA. around phoenix would be much better but the business we wanted was here. huge influx all over the state, house pricing so much more than 18 months ago when we moved.
i'm very sorry about your son. i sometimes kick myself over choices I made years ago, but I guess we can only do the best we can do at the time. So grateful I know better now.
Loved your analysis/commentary thank you. What have I learnt? How easily people give up their freedom without questioning what they are doing-embracing vaccine passports as the new saviour WHILST enjoying a segregated society. Those people have zero care for others, and I can see how the ordinary person benefits/profits from the demise of others. -high moral ground, blame game, gate keeper, moronic (add your own observations). Ive learnt that this seems to be an almost primal response as opposed to being rational or educated. Many who relish segregation are of the professional class. 🤔 Then the crazy dissonance -vaccinated get the virus and transmits it but that is ok! That the vaccines dont work, but people still want to be injected 🤔
Thanks I’m inspired to do action. We have been sending affidavits accusing unconstitutional actions of all state government officials FDA schools and all others complicit with mandates. We have now formed an assembly and are on our way to a grand jury. The police Heard about us and their union voted to join us and not comply with enforcing mandates. We have to take actions and stop complying with masks, experimental injections which are false advertising by big Pharma. They are not vaccines I am a bio chemist and doctor. Please stop complaining and start educating the people in your neighborhoods in your groups. Just as Toby and his friends forest are encouraging us to do.
It's after 2am. I feel melancholy & retrospective. I learned more in 2021 about my country, the world, & the seductive power of evil. I know I read more than in high school, college, & legal analysis career combined. First I realized most physicians know absolutely nothing about nutrition or wellness in general. This had puzzled me for years, so I learned it on my own. I was baffled by the mass anxiety over a flu & some numbers, until I learned that mass formation psychosis is what I was witnessing. I discovered my political views were far from parallel to my family's as I had thought for the past 30 years. I found out what the "silent majority" means, and that I don't like it.
Most devastating for me was learning things about US history I had never been taught, nor that I had ever EVER even slightly considered to be possible that my country, my United States of America could ever be fallible, wrong, & even cruel to the citizens who love & trust her so much. I couldn't figure out, "why would they use us to test these unknown drugs on?" Until I learned the US military tested bio-weapons on its own citizens for a large portion of the 20th century.
I'm so jaded now and honestly was much happier before all this. I don't know if I can trust any government agency or any government ANYTHING anymore.
But now I'm aware that what I had naively thought was impossible, is possible. I always tell people we have been experiencing the "end times" for 2000+ years & that every generation of Christians has thought that their generation might be the last. I thank God that He has gifted my immediate family with the discernment to recognize truth from lies; light from dark. I pray that we can use our gift wisely and learn how to share our knowledge in a loving, compassionate way, for the Glory of Christ's Kingdom.
Thank you so much for this!! I've been amazed and horrified at the degree to which most people simply cannot think for themselves and don't want to even if they could. It explains a lot about the last fifteen years or so of my life in "blue cities" (I cringe to even write that), and in a profession that leans very hard to the left, such as it is. My blind spot was assuming that they were arriving at any of this on their own or thinking it through in a critical or meaningful way. That's how I had always engaged with my peers, and it's clearly a waste of calories. That's hard for me to say given my faith that all human beings deserve understanding, empathy and consideration. The cognitive dissonance for me with the illogical, totally ideological groupthink of it all has been increasingly painful to the point of being excruciating at times. Any push back or questioning on my part was always met with histrionics (and I don't use that word lightly), or even threats to employment or reputation. Since 2020, it's felt like the invasion of body snatchers with some of my friends, family and coworkers.
You're 100% right: This isn't left/right at all, but a fight for basic humanity and literally what it means to be a free human being. I know people on the political left who agree with that and are as outraged as people on the political right. It's a totally false dichotomy right now given the enormity of what is before us. The last item on your list felt so good to read. It's easy to forget that we do have the better hand, but I truly think we do. Thank you for all of your work!!
Well said, and beautifully so. I do, however, think that the left-leaning voters are in a much deeper slumber, and I attribute this in no small degree to the pre-existing scourge of wokeness. I admit to having been asleep to the authoritarian streak on the left, but seeing it spring into full force, not only in the US but all round the world, has made it clear to me that voting for the Democratic party is something I will never in a million years repeat.
You ask, what must be done. Here are my simple suggestions but with dramatic changes resulting:
1. Make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to advertise or sponsor or gift to any medical institution, health insurance company, individual scientists (not hired by same) or any medical journal, social media network, TV, magazine, newspaper (paper or electronic). If this requires a new constitutional amendment, I'm sure an enraged public will get it passed. In the interim, have the FDA restore it's pre-1977 rule on pharmaceutical company presence in advertisement media prior to 1997 (see https://drmichaelwayne.com/blog/drug-ads-on-tv-a-brief-history/ ).
2. Abolish the FDA, NIH (Fauci's department is part of NIH), and CDC, allow the 50 states (and DC plus US Territories) to decide how they want to do similar functions, whether as an individual state or as a member of a group of states, the obvious reaction will be that there will be a dominant blue-state approach, a dominant red-state approach, and a dominant mix-match approach. I would agree to a minimal federal law requirement. Nobody can sell a drug or medical device that is not insured for liability protection (remove vaccine liability protection first). Liability insurance company underwriting testing labs would end up being setup to evaluate the risk of a new drug seeking liability protection then. Better to have competing safety certifying labs, so customers over time learn which testing labs do a better job. The counterpoint that many vaccines would not be produced is that (a) only bad vaccines would be stopped (good), (b) mandatory vaccine mandates would not be workable (of course, since one has abolished the FDA, NIH and CDC), and (c) vaccines would become voluntary and possibly more expensive but perhaps coverable under medical insurance.
3. Stop taxpayer funding of medical research, instead provide the incentives via a double-value or triple-value tax deduction approach for individual taxpayers to fund competing medical grant financial foundations. A double-value tax deduction, means a $1 given allows the individual to record on their taxes they donated $2.
4. Have the Congress pass these laws on a non-recorded vote so that their pharmaceutical overlords can't see how individual legislators voted (it's a simple procedural rule to allow bill passage by aye-nay voices).
5. Recommend individual states to abolish the DECERTIFICATION practices of individual medical licensing boards and pharmacy licensing boards; replace the decertification process by the use of civil law suits that require a trial by jury.
For those averse to admini-speak, here's a useful summary of the excellent points above : disengage ALL pharma and government cross-functionality.
Not mentioned, but equally important, would be disengagement between insurance and medicine. Personally, I'd take it a step further and disengage ALL corporate and government "synergy", to use a favorite corpora-speak buzzword.
Not that it's possible or practical, but it needs to be spoken into existence.
While the external structure of the political categories of left/right, liberal/conservative, have been crumbling for some years, 2021 was for me, the year that saw the entire edifice collapse.
The (unfathomable) support by ‘the left’ for Big Pharma, MSM, social media censoring, ‘public health’ shills, Govt. diktats that undeniably hurt those on the bottom rung, etc. etc. has now rendered that term more utterly farcical.
What descriptors replace those now irrelevant categories will be interesting to watch. As I see it currently, there is only ‘the consensus’ - the rest of us dwell well outside that hermetically sealed bubble.
The answer to our problems is in your summation. We need to build more safe havens as fast as we can right now. Because what do any of us really believe is the likely outcome in our current circumstances and in the face of the systemic corruption and failures we've seen? That is the question that troubles me every day as the sense of unreality grows and grows. Are we hoping for a Nuremberg 2.0? A full coming to justice of the profiteers and the media and political propagandists who shill for them? Arrests? Trials? Reform? What kind of change do we ACTUALLY think is going to happen in the face of such terrible corruption? I can't help but think that the most urgent mission is to become as independent from the system as you can RIGHT NOW. Start planning and building a self-sufficient community build on decent human principles of sharing and compassion and truth, and design it to survive when the whole society comes crashing down around it's growing rotten core. Happy New Year!
Absolutely agree with all your eloquently written points, Dr. Toby. Perhaps my biggest realization over the past 21 months is just how much I’ve overrated basic human intelligence and not given enough credence to the seemingly evil nature of so many. On a brighter note, this has all served as a come (back) to JESUS experience for me. No earthly fear of all this, but I’m sad I couldn’t make it to the exit before all this unfolded.
As an identified auto-didact and lifelong iconoclast, I've spent the bulk of my sentient years as the proverbial canary in the coalmine. Sadly, life insists on remaining linear, so the largest lessons have had the unfortunate tendency of arriving in single file.
The most valuable of them by FAR was the moment where I lost "faith" in the medical industry in my mid-20's, followed immediately by the discovery that the best "medicine" was what you put in your mouth at "mealtime", as well as the manufactured fallacy of mealtime (and so many others).
What that grueling stretch taught me was critical, after having my immune system trashed by well-meaning, pill-pushing physicians with zero nutritional knowledge : each individual must experience (and survive) their own personal "radicalization" moment, before any awakening is possible.
Mine/ours (me and the wife) was edible. Followed by realizing -- and accepting, then acting on -- the simple, fundamental truth of personal responsibility for EVERYTHING in our lives. Reclaiming "quality control" in all things. It gave sayings like "physician heal thyself" and "do no harm" rich new meaning.
Invested years studying and (un)learning the well-funded tenets of formal "nutrition" and discovering a tawdry history of industrial and institutional meddling and marketing stretching back over a century. Already hip to similar historical arcs in other disciplines, the patterns were very familiar.
To top it all off, the wife and I are both familiar with vaccine injury, personally and peripherally. Our stance on the latest genocidal impulse emanating from the upper reaches of systemic power is rooted in these experiences. The malicious policies advancing on each and every one of us are beyond insulting when viewed in context. It's difficult NOT to interpret a genocidal impulse.
Her family actually hid two of their own from the "Einsatzgruppen" for nearly a decade. One unquestionably damaged by a polio vaccine at age six, the other most likely a developmental DDT casualty in the early "better living through chemistry" years.
Sadly, such powerful individual lessons are nothing in the apocalyptic battle for hearts and minds so long dominated by well-funded industrial propaganda and the mewling minions who worship at the triumvirate altars of "Science", "Capital" and "Progress".
Our radicalization moment was nearly three decades ago. Over that span, we've personally helped a few close friends -- those with functioning critical minds -- step off the hampster wheel of industrial "health and nutrition". All are still thanking us to this day, some now more radical than ourselves.
Thirty years down the road and both sporting fully functional immune systems, it's clear to us that the Machine can no longer be sated consuming us one-by-one or in small handfuls. We're reaching truly ghastly levels of blood sacrifice. The blanket othering of critical thought is also tragically familiar, not to mention hugely ironic from our outpost on a rural German farm.
It's hard to cultivate hope when one possesses something akin to "prescience", based on forty years of reading ALL sides and honing one's mental blade.
It's hard to retain hope in the face of colleagues and family with FAR more formal education utterly incapable of recognizing the basest reality when pointed out -- then unable to acknowledge accurate predictions made months/years earlier coming to pass again and again and again.
When hindsight has been eradicated, all that remains is a future conflict you allude to above. Is it inevitable...? Unfortunately, if history is any sort of guide, the answer appears to be yes.
since you mentioned polio and DDT i found this several years a go, i made a copy because i knew it would disappear so i cant recall the source:
1824: Metal workers had suffered for centuries from a paralysis similar to polio caused by the lead and arsenic in the metals they were working with. English scientist John Cooke observed: 'The fumes from these metals, or the receptance of them in solution into the stomach, often causes paralysis.'
1890: Lead arsenate pesticide started to be sprayed in the US up to 12 times every summer to kill codling moth on apple crops.
1892: Polio outbreaks began to occur in Vermont, an apple growing region. In his report the Government Inspector Dr. Charles Caverly noted that parents reported that some children fell ill after eating fruit. He stated that 'infantile paralysis usually occurred in families with more than one child, and as no efforts were made at isolation it was very certain it was non-contagious' (with only one child in the family having been struck).
1907: Calcium arsenate comes into use primarily on cotton crops.
1908: In a Massachusetts town with three cotton mills and apple orchards, 69 children suddenly fell ill with infantile paralysis.
1909: The UK bans apple imports from the States because of heavy lead arsenate residues.
1921: Franklin D. Roosevelt develops polio after swimming in Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. Toxicity of water may have been due to pollution run-off.
1943: DDT is introduced, a neurotoxic pesticide. Over the next several years it comes into widespread use in American households. For example, wall paper impregnated with DDT was placed in children's bedrooms.
1943: A polio epidemic in the UK town of Broadstairs, Kent is linked to a local dairy where cows were washed down with DDT.
1944: Albert Sabin reports that a major cause of sickness and death of American troops based in the Philippines was poliomyelitis. US military camps there were sprayed daily with DDT to kill mosquitoes. Neighboring Philippine settlements were not affected.
1944: NIH reports that DDT damages the same anterior horn cells that are damaged in infantile paralysis.
1946: Gebhaedt shows polio seasonality correlates with fruit harvest.
1949: Endocrinologist Dr Morton Biskind, a practitioner and medical researcher, found that DDT causes 'lesions in the spinal cord similar to human polio.'
1950: US Public Health Industrial Hygiene Medical Director, J.G. Townsend, notes the similarity between parathion poisoning and polio and believes that some polio might be caused by eating fruits or vegetables with parathion residues.
1951: Dr. Biskind treats his polio patients as poisoning victims, removing toxins from food and environment, especially DDT contaminated milk and butter. Dr. Biskind writes: 'Although young animals are more susceptible to the effects of DDT than adults, so far as the available literature is concerned, it does not appear that the effects of such concentrations on infants and children have even been considered.'
1949-1951: Other doctors report they are having success treating polio with anti toxins used to treat poisoning, dimercaprol and ascorbic acid. Example: Dr. F. R. Klenner reported: 'In the poliomyelitis epidemic in North Carolina in 1948 60 cases of this disease came under our care... The treatment was massive doses of vitamin C every two to four hours. Children up to four years received vitamin C injection intramuscularly... All patients were clinically well after 72 hours.'
1950: Dr. Biskind presents evidence to the US Congress that pesticides were the major cause of polio epidemics. He is joined by Dr. Ralph Scobey who reported he found clear evidence of poisoning when analysing chemical traces in the blood of polio victims.
Comment: This was a no no. The viral causation theory was not something to be questioned. The careers of prominent virologists and health authorities were threatened. Biskind and Scobey's ideas were subjected to ridicule.
1953: Clothes are moth-proofed by washing them in EQ-53, a formula containing DDT.
1953: Dr. Biskind writes: 'It was known by 1945 that DDT was stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in their milk... yet far from admitting a causal relationship between DDT and polio that is so obvious, which in any other field of biology would be instantly accepted, virtually the entire apparatus of communication, lay and scientific alike, has been devoted to denying, concealing, suppressing, distorting and attempts to convert into its opposite this overwhelming evidence. Libel, slander, and economic boycott have not been overlooked in this campaign.'
1954: Legislation recognizing the dangers of persistent pesticides is enacted, and a phase out of DDT in the US accelerates along with a shift of sales of DDT to third world countries.
(Note that DDT is phased out at the same time as widespread polio vaccinations begin. Saying that, polio cases sky rocket only in communities that accept the polio vaccine, as the polio vaccine is laced with heavy metals and other toxins, so the paralysis narrative starts all over again. As the polio vaccines cause huge spikes in polio, the misinformed public demand more polio vaccine and the cycle spirals skyward exponentially)
1956: the American Medical Association mandated that all licensed medical doctors could no longer classify polio as polio. All polio diagnosis would be rejected in favour of Guillian-Barre Syndrome, AFP (acute flaccid paralysis), Bell's Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, ALS, (Lou-Gehrig's Disease), MS, MD etc etc. This sleight of hand was fabricated with the sole intent of giving the public the impression that the polio vaccine was successful at decreasing polio or eradicating polio. The public bought this hook, line and sinker and to this very day, many pro vaccine arguments are ignited by the manufactured lie regarding the polio vaccine eradicating polio.
1962: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring is published.
1968: DDT registration cancelled for the US.
2008: Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) is still a raging in many parts of the world where pesticide use is high, and DDT is still used. AFP. MS, MD, Bell's Palsy, cerebral palsy, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Guillian-Barre are all catch basket diagnosis, all similar in symptoms, tied to heavy metal poisoning and high toxic load.
2008: WHO states on its website: 'There is no cure for polio. Its effects are irreversible.'
Conclusion: Modern belief that polio is caused by a virus is an ongoing tragedy for the children of the world. Public funds are wasted on useless and dangerous vaccines when the children could be treated with antitoxins. A call into failing vaccine mythology is warranted, as is a complete investigation of the real agenda being executed against humanity involving science, chemicals, vaccines, the medical field in general, and the government.
Based on many years talking to individuals who've been damaged by industrial and institutional dominance of the material world, as well as a steady diet of more-or-less accurate media viewed through a cynically focused lens, I'm quite confident that we're far from being a minority Ray. Sadly, language as a tool of indoctrination and control predates our "Bernaysian Era" by millennia, which is why hope is so hard to come by and epochal conflict is very likely just around the corner.
I learned to second guess all the history and news of at least the last century. I'm starting to rethink my entire vision of the 20th century, and for that I'm grateful. I'm also grateful to know my belief in the plethora of great, freedom-loving minds in this country was not misplaced...and most of them are now on Substack.
Some salient points in your screed yet but however um... It's a race. The Booboeoise will simply lap what's in the bowl, the 80:20 Rule. Sure, they're de-educated but the Stasis Quo Bono (sic) keeps their feedsack feeding. The (d)elites are banking on it. Meanwhile They are fine tuning a 5g, nano, quantum, AI, robotic revolution. If They finish in time The World will be ruled by whoever controls the KillDrones and Digital Currency in the Surveillance Late Stage Pharoahonic 1000 Year Reich. They are WINNING here in Australia NOW.
May I ask how we know that China addressed the pandemic in their country using Vitamin C?
One of the most mystifying aspects of this whole debacle is the utter lack of curiosity by those in the West of what China was doing to deal with Covid in their country.
Is everyone forced to get vaccinated?
With what vaccines?
What % of their citizens are vaccinated?
Is their military vaccinated?
Just zero curiosity by the public. I don’t understand.
Clinical Trials dot gov lists all the trials for covid. In Spring 2020, there were many for Vitamin C in Chinese hospitals. They didn't kill their people.
As a Catholic, I’ve realized there are very frightening parallels between what’s going on in the secular world and what’s happening in the Church, as Francis and many hierarchs are doing all they can to destroy the very nature of the Church and what has been most revitalizing to the Church (e.g., the traditional Mass). (Archbishop Vigano had insights along these same lines in a recent video message.)
I think so many “right side” citizens have drunk the Kool-Aid too. It’s not really a dem/ rep thing. I can’t tell you how many of my right winged friends are chanting pharma and marching to the death camps willingly all the while spewing hate my way.
I blame Trump for that honestly and I am a fan of him and what he has done for the country. Operation Warp Speed however will be his downfall.
I learned from the pandemic that ONE man can make a difference. You personally woke me up (prepandemic Twitter) and I work in medicine. I paid it forward in spades! March on!!!

Arizonans,
Check out Arizona Free Enterprise and get active influencing the right legislation and electing the right representatives.
They do so much great work and make it easy for citizens to make a difference EVERY week.

Yep, I agree with all of that.
I agree... "primal response" It's all the damndest thing I've ever seen!!
Thanks I’m inspired to do action. We have been sending affidavits accusing unconstitutional actions of all state government officials FDA schools and all others complicit with mandates. We have now formed an assembly and are on our way to a grand jury. The police Heard about us and their union voted to join us and not comply with enforcing mandates. We have to take actions and stop complying with masks, experimental injections which are false advertising by big Pharma. They are not vaccines I am a bio chemist and doctor. Please stop complaining and start educating the people in your neighborhoods in your groups. Just as Toby and his friends forest are encouraging us to do.
Wow Angela. Amazing work! If you can, share where you are. Understand if that is not comfortable.
It's after 2am. I feel melancholy & retrospective. I learned more in 2021 about my country, the world, & the seductive power of evil.

Beautifully Stated. Thank you!
Inspirational. Achingly beautiful.
The epiphany many of us have experienced. For me after a near lifetime of years. And now, we must try to move forward with positive impact.
Thank you so much for this!! I've been amazed and horrified at the degree to which most people simply cannot think for themselves and don't want to even if they could.

I admit to having been asleep to the authoritarian streak on the left, but seeing it spring into full force, not only in the US but all round the world, has made it clear to me that voting for the Democratic party is something I will never in a million years repeat.
You ask, what must be done. Here are my simple suggestions but with dramatic changes resulting:
1. Make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to advertise or sponsor or gift to any medical institution, health insurance company, individual scientists (not hired by same) or any medical journal, social media network, TV, magazine, newspaper (paper or electronic). If this requires a new constitutional amendment, I'm sure an enraged public will get it passed. In the interim, have the FDA restore it's pre-1977 rule on pharmaceutical company presence in advertisement media prior to 1997 (see https://drmichaelwayne.com/blog/drug-ads-on-tv-a-brief-history/ ).
2. Abolish the FDA, NIH (Fauci's department is part of NIH), and CDC, allow the 50 states (and DC plus US Territories) to decide how they want to do similar functions, whether as an individual state or as a member of a group of states, the obvious reaction will be that there will be a dominant blue-state approach, a dominant red-state approach, and a dominant mix-match approach. I would agree to a minimal federal law requirement. Nobody can sell a drug or medical device that is not insured for liability protection (remove vaccine liability protection first). Liability insurance company underwriting testing labs would end up being setup to evaluate the risk of a new drug seeking liability protection then. Better to have competing safety certifying labs, so customers over time learn which testing labs do a better job. The counterpoint that many vaccines would not be produced is that (a) only bad vaccines would be stopped (good), (b) mandatory vaccine mandates would not be workable (of course, since one has abolished the FDA, NIH and CDC), and (c) vaccines would become voluntary and possibly more expensive but perhaps coverable under medical insurance.
3. Stop taxpayer funding of medical research, instead provide the incentives via a double-value or triple-value tax deduction approach for individual taxpayers to fund competing medical grant financial foundations. A double-value tax deduction, means a $1 given allows the individual to record on their taxes they donated $2.
4. Have the Congress pass these laws on a non-recorded vote so that their pharmaceutical overlords can't see how individual legislators voted (it's a simple procedural rule to allow bill passage by aye-nay voices).
5. Recommend individual states to abolish the DECERTIFICATION practices of individual medical licensing boards and pharmacy licensing boards; replace the decertification process by the use of civil law suits that require a trial by jury.
For those averse to admini-speak, here's a useful summary of the excellent points above : disengage ALL pharma and government cross-functionality.
Not mentioned, but equally important, would be disengagement between insurance and medicine. Personally, I'd take it a step further and disengage ALL corporate and government "synergy", to use a favorite corpora-speak buzzword.
Not that it's possible or practical, but it needs to be spoken into existence.
Thanks Toby - some great analysis here.
While the external structure of the political categories of left/right, liberal/conservative, have been crumbling for some years, 2021 was for me, the year that saw the entire edifice collapse.
The (unfathomable) support by ‘the left’ for Big Pharma, MSM, social media censoring, ‘public health’ shills, Govt. diktats that undeniably hurt those on the bottom rung, etc. etc. has now rendered that term more utterly farcical.
What descriptors replace those now irrelevant categories will be interesting to watch. As I see it currently, there is only ‘the consensus’ - the rest of us dwell well outside that hermetically sealed bubble.
It is all together: weird, interesting, shocking, and a tiny bit scary. Great comment!
The answer to our problems is in your summation. We need to build more safe havens as fast as we can right now. Because what do any of us really believe is the likely outcome in our current circumstances and in the face of the systemic corruption and failures we've seen? That is the question that troubles me every day as the sense of unreality grows and grows. Are we hoping for a Nuremberg 2.0? A full coming to justice of the profiteers and the media and political propagandists who shill for them? Arrests? Trials? Reform? What kind of change do we ACTUALLY think is going to happen in the face of such terrible corruption? I can't help but think that the most urgent mission is to become as independent from the system as you can RIGHT NOW. Start planning and building a self-sufficient community build on decent human principles of sharing and compassion and truth, and design it to survive when the whole society comes crashing down around it's growing rotten core. Happy New Year!
Absolutely agree with all your eloquently written points, Dr. Toby. Perhaps my biggest realization over the past 21 months is just how much I’ve overrated basic human intelligence and not given enough credence to the seemingly evil nature of so many. On a brighter note, this has all served as a come (back) to JESUS experience for me. No earthly fear of all this, but I’m sad I couldn’t make it to the exit before all this unfolded.
Yes, that's been my experience as well. The old ways are the best ways I think.
As an identified auto-didact and lifelong iconoclast, I've spent the bulk of my sentient years as the proverbial canary in the coalmine. Sadly, life insists on remaining linear, so the largest lessons have had the unfortunate tendency of arriving in single file.
The most valuable of them by FAR was the moment where I lost "faith" in the medical industry in my mid-20's, followed immediately by the discovery that the best "medicine" was what you put in your mouth at "mealtime", as well as the manufactured fallacy of mealtime (and so many others).
What that grueling stretch taught me was critical, after having my immune system trashed by well-meaning, pill-pushing physicians with zero nutritional knowledge : each individual must experience (and survive) their own personal "radicalization" moment, before any awakening is possible.
Mine/ours (me and the wife) was edible. Followed by realizing -- and accepting, then acting on -- the simple, fundamental truth of personal responsibility for EVERYTHING in our lives. Reclaiming "quality control" in all things. It gave sayings like "physician heal thyself" and "do no harm" rich new meaning.
Invested years studying and (un)learning the well-funded tenets of formal "nutrition" and discovering a tawdry history of industrial and institutional meddling and marketing stretching back over a century. Already hip to similar historical arcs in other disciplines, the patterns were very familiar.
To top it all off, the wife and I are both familiar with vaccine injury, personally and peripherally. Our stance on the latest genocidal impulse emanating from the upper reaches of systemic power is rooted in these experiences. The malicious policies advancing on each and every one of us are beyond insulting when viewed in context. It's difficult NOT to interpret a genocidal impulse.
Her family actually hid two of their own from the "Einsatzgruppen" for nearly a decade. One unquestionably damaged by a polio vaccine at age six, the other most likely a developmental DDT casualty in the early "better living through chemistry" years.
Sadly, such powerful individual lessons are nothing in the apocalyptic battle for hearts and minds so long dominated by well-funded industrial propaganda and the mewling minions who worship at the triumvirate altars of "Science", "Capital" and "Progress".
Our radicalization moment was nearly three decades ago. Over that span, we've personally helped a few close friends -- those with functioning critical minds -- step off the hampster wheel of industrial "health and nutrition". All are still thanking us to this day, some now more radical than ourselves.
Thirty years down the road and both sporting fully functional immune systems, it's clear to us that the Machine can no longer be sated consuming us one-by-one or in small handfuls. We're reaching truly ghastly levels of blood sacrifice. The blanket othering of critical thought is also tragically familiar, not to mention hugely ironic from our outpost on a rural German farm.
It's hard to cultivate hope when one possesses something akin to "prescience", based on forty years of reading ALL sides and honing one's mental blade.
It's hard to retain hope in the face of colleagues and family with FAR more formal education utterly incapable of recognizing the basest reality when pointed out -- then unable to acknowledge accurate predictions made months/years earlier coming to pass again and again and again.
When hindsight has been eradicated, all that remains is a future conflict you allude to above. Is it inevitable...? Unfortunately, if history is any sort of guide, the answer appears to be yes.
Thank you for this thoughtful reply! 🙌
it sounds like we have been on a similar journey.
since you mentioned polio and DDT i found this several years a go, i made a copy because i knew it would disappear so i cant recall the source:
1824: Metal workers had suffered for centuries from a paralysis similar to polio caused by the lead and arsenic in the metals they were working with. English scientist John Cooke observed: 'The fumes from these metals, or the receptance of them in solution into the stomach, often causes paralysis.'
1890: Lead arsenate pesticide started to be sprayed in the US up to 12 times every summer to kill codling moth on apple crops.
1892: Polio outbreaks began to occur in Vermont, an apple growing region. In his report the Government Inspector Dr. Charles Caverly noted that parents reported that some children fell ill after eating fruit. He stated that 'infantile paralysis usually occurred in families with more than one child, and as no efforts were made at isolation it was very certain it was non-contagious' (with only one child in the family having been struck).
1907: Calcium arsenate comes into use primarily on cotton crops.
1908: In a Massachusetts town with three cotton mills and apple orchards, 69 children suddenly fell ill with infantile paralysis.
1909: The UK bans apple imports from the States because of heavy lead arsenate residues.
1921: Franklin D. Roosevelt develops polio after swimming in Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. Toxicity of water may have been due to pollution run-off.
1943: DDT is introduced, a neurotoxic pesticide. Over the next several years it comes into widespread use in American households. For example, wall paper impregnated with DDT was placed in children's bedrooms.
1943: A polio epidemic in the UK town of Broadstairs, Kent is linked to a local dairy where cows were washed down with DDT.
1944: Albert Sabin reports that a major cause of sickness and death of American troops based in the Philippines was poliomyelitis. US military camps there were sprayed daily with DDT to kill mosquitoes. Neighboring Philippine settlements were not affected.
1944: NIH reports that DDT damages the same anterior horn cells that are damaged in infantile paralysis.
1946: Gebhaedt shows polio seasonality correlates with fruit harvest.
1949: Endocrinologist Dr Morton Biskind, a practitioner and medical researcher, found that DDT causes 'lesions in the spinal cord similar to human polio.'
1950: US Public Health Industrial Hygiene Medical Director, J.G. Townsend, notes the similarity between parathion poisoning and polio and believes that some polio might be caused by eating fruits or vegetables with parathion residues.
1951: Dr. Biskind treats his polio patients as poisoning victims, removing toxins from food and environment, especially DDT contaminated milk and butter. Dr. Biskind writes: 'Although young animals are more susceptible to the effects of DDT than adults, so far as the available literature is concerned, it does not appear that the effects of such concentrations on infants and children have even been considered.'
1949-1951: Other doctors report they are having success treating polio with anti toxins used to treat poisoning, dimercaprol and ascorbic acid. Example: Dr. F. R. Klenner reported: 'In the poliomyelitis epidemic in North Carolina in 1948 60 cases of this disease came under our care... The treatment was massive doses of vitamin C every two to four hours. Children up to four years received vitamin C injection intramuscularly... All patients were clinically well after 72 hours.'
1950: Dr. Biskind presents evidence to the US Congress that pesticides were the major cause of polio epidemics. He is joined by Dr. Ralph Scobey who reported he found clear evidence of poisoning when analysing chemical traces in the blood of polio victims.
Comment: This was a no no. The viral causation theory was not something to be questioned. The careers of prominent virologists and health authorities were threatened. Biskind and Scobey's ideas were subjected to ridicule.
1953: Clothes are moth-proofed by washing them in EQ-53, a formula containing DDT.
1953: Dr. Biskind writes: 'It was known by 1945 that DDT was stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in their milk... yet far from admitting a causal relationship between DDT and polio that is so obvious, which in any other field of biology would be instantly accepted, virtually the entire apparatus of communication, lay and scientific alike, has been devoted to denying, concealing, suppressing, distorting and attempts to convert into its opposite this overwhelming evidence. Libel, slander, and economic boycott have not been overlooked in this campaign.'
1954: Legislation recognizing the dangers of persistent pesticides is enacted, and a phase out of DDT in the US accelerates along with a shift of sales of DDT to third world countries.
(Note that DDT is phased out at the same time as widespread polio vaccinations begin. Saying that, polio cases sky rocket only in communities that accept the polio vaccine, as the polio vaccine is laced with heavy metals and other toxins, so the paralysis narrative starts all over again. As the polio vaccines cause huge spikes in polio, the misinformed public demand more polio vaccine and the cycle spirals skyward exponentially)
1956: the American Medical Association mandated that all licensed medical doctors could no longer classify polio as polio. All polio diagnosis would be rejected in favour of Guillian-Barre Syndrome, AFP (acute flaccid paralysis), Bell's Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, ALS, (Lou-Gehrig's Disease), MS, MD etc etc. This sleight of hand was fabricated with the sole intent of giving the public the impression that the polio vaccine was successful at decreasing polio or eradicating polio. The public bought this hook, line and sinker and to this very day, many pro vaccine arguments are ignited by the manufactured lie regarding the polio vaccine eradicating polio.
1962: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring is published.
1968: DDT registration cancelled for the US.
2008: Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) is still a raging in many parts of the world where pesticide use is high, and DDT is still used. AFP. MS, MD, Bell's Palsy, cerebral palsy, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Guillian-Barre are all catch basket diagnosis, all similar in symptoms, tied to heavy metal poisoning and high toxic load.
2008: WHO states on its website: 'There is no cure for polio. Its effects are irreversible.'
Conclusion: Modern belief that polio is caused by a virus is an ongoing tragedy for the children of the world. Public funds are wasted on useless and dangerous vaccines when the children could be treated with antitoxins. A call into failing vaccine mythology is warranted, as is a complete investigation of the real agenda being executed against humanity involving science, chemicals, vaccines, the medical field in general, and the government.
Based on many years talking to individuals who've been damaged by industrial and institutional dominance of the material world, as well as a steady diet of more-or-less accurate media viewed through a cynically focused lens, I'm quite confident that we're far from being a minority Ray. Sadly, language as a tool of indoctrination and control predates our "Bernaysian Era" by millennia, which is why hope is so hard to come by and epochal conflict is very likely just around the corner.
I learned to second guess all the history and news of at least the last century. I'm starting to rethink my entire vision of the 20th century, and for that I'm grateful. I'm also grateful to know my belief in the plethora of great, freedom-loving minds in this country was not misplaced...and most of them are now on Substack.
Some salient points in your screed yet but however um... It's a race. The Booboeoise will simply lap what's in the bowl, the 80:20 Rule. Sure, they're de-educated but the Stasis Quo Bono (sic) keeps their feedsack feeding. The (d)elites are banking on it. Meanwhile They are fine tuning a 5g, nano, quantum, AI, robotic revolution. If They finish in time The World will be ruled by whoever controls the KillDrones and Digital Currency in the Surveillance Late Stage Pharoahonic 1000 Year Reich. They are WINNING here in Australia NOW.
May I ask how we know that China addressed the pandemic in their country using Vitamin C?
One of the most mystifying aspects of this whole debacle is the utter lack of curiosity by those in the West of what China was doing to deal with Covid in their country.
Is everyone forced to get vaccinated?
With what vaccines?
What % of their citizens are vaccinated?
Is their military vaccinated?
Just zero curiosity by the public. I don’t understand.
Clinical Trials dot gov lists all the trials for covid. In Spring 2020, there were many for Vitamin C in Chinese hospitals. They didn't kill their people.
April - that does not answer how we know that the Chinese govt got the pandemic under control by giving the public vitamin c.
As a Catholic, I’ve realized there are very frightening parallels between what’s going on in the secular world and what’s happening in the Church, as Francis and many hierarchs are doing all they can to destroy the very nature of the Church and what has been most revitalizing to the Church (e.g., the traditional Mass). (Archbishop Vigano had insights along these same lines in a recent video message.)
Well written Toby!
I think so many “right side” citizens have drunk the Kool-Aid too. It’s not really a dem/ rep thing. I can’t tell you how many of my right winged friends are chanting pharma and marching to the death camps willingly all the while spewing hate my way.
I blame Trump for that honestly and I am a fan of him and what he has done for the country. Operation Warp Speed however will be his downfall.
