The funnel, RSV, black book, business model, totalitarianism, libertarianism, the state, Narcissus, a Dutch cat singing the blues!
Here are my latest thinking points:
The Funnel
Wealthy families funnel their kids into the best prep schools.
The best prep schools funnel their students into Ivy League universities.
Ivy League universities funnel their students into McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, etc.
It turns out that those companies are basically criminal enterprises.
But once you’re in, there’s no way out (you can’t buy a nice house in a mafioso economy without playing the game).
Then the cycle repeats.
This creates a brain drain as, generation after generation, those with the most advantage and promise are siphoned away from productive activities toward negative sum activities.
This also causes a moral hollowing out of society as the various participants come up with creative ways to justify this system.
If we are going to survive, we have to build an alternative to this system.
The origins of RSV
Most people don’t realize that RSV made the leap from chimpanzees to humans because of shoddy research to develop a polio vaccine. From Children’s Health Defense:
What we know from the research on RSV:
• Chimpanzee Coryza Virus (CCV) was first identified in 1955 in a group of chimps used for polio research at Walter Reed Army Research Institute in Silver Springs, Maryland.
• The caretaker for the apes also developed CCV in early 1956, and the virus spread from the caretaker to several of his bunk mates at the institute located in Silver Springs.
• One year later, in 1957, a new virus was found in infants in Baltimore. That virus, identical to CCV, was renamed Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
• Five years later, RSV virus was responsible for the majority of severe respiratory infections in infants and young children across the globe.
In short, the introduction of RSV from apes used for the development of polio vaccine in the 1950s resulted in the creation of a new respiratory disease that the World Health Organization (WHO) now estimates results in more than 3 million hospitalizations and nearly 60,000 deaths in children under 5 years of age every year.
So the RSV shot that they are selling via every TV channel in America is in response to the RSV virus they created.
The Black Book of Vaccination
There is compelling evidence that:
The 1918 Spanish flu epidemic was caused by an experimental bacterial meningitis vaccine injected into soldiers at Fort Riley, Kansas. 50 million dead.
HIV made the leap from animals to humans via contamination of the early oral polio vaccine. 40 million dead.
RSV made the leap from animals to humans via contamination of the polio vaccine. 60,000 deaths annually.
SV40 is a carcinogen that was injected into 100 million Americans via the polio vaccine. As cancer rates skyrocket, the total death toll is unknown.
Lyme Disease was created by U.S. bioweapons research in the 1970s. There are now 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease every year in the U.S.
SARS-CoV-2 was created by U.S.-funded gain-of-function research. Seven million dead with/from/adjacent to Covid with many million more killed by Covid shots.
A strong case can be made that the death toll from vaccines exceeds the number of people killed by Hitler, Stalin, or Mao.
Killing is a business model
“The pharmaceutical industry is as interested in world health as the arms industry is in world peace.”
The totalitarian impulse
Bolshevism is totalitarianism based on class.
Nazism is totalitarianism based on nationality and race.
Theocracy is totalitarianism based on religion.
Patriarchy is totalitarianism based on sex.
Pharma’s enslavement of the developed world is totalitarianism based on profit, control, and sadism.
But what explains the totalitarian impulse itself? Other animals don’t behave this way.
“Against Libertarian Brutalism”
Back in 2014, Jeffrey Tucker (now president of the Brownstone Institute) caused quite a stir in the libertarian world with the publication of his article, Against Libertarian Brutalism. He makes the case that libertarianism is characterized by two camps — the humanitarians and the brutalists.
The humanitarians want to use liberty to support human flourishing — the good, the true, and the beautiful. The brutalists are obsessed with flaunting liberty’s other possibility— the right to do whatever they want especially if that means being boorish and regressive. Freedom contains both possibilities but libertarian humanitarianism is where we should put our energies.
The article caused consternation among the libertarian brutalists. But I read the piece as an incredibly gracious invitation to people of all ideological faiths to join the freedom movement to create the better world our hearts know is possible.
My favorite line from the article:
Freedom is what gives life to the human imagination and enables the working out of love as it extends from our most benevolent and highest longings.
The article is essential reading for anyone who cares about liberty.
Faith in the state is a category error
The state does NOT know best. It cannot because the state does not know anything. The state is just a collection of rich and powerful interests — ‘we the people’ ain’t one of them. The state is not a person and it is not capable of determining facts. It exists to manage interests.
Narcissus
You guys! This whole time I thought that vaccines were the idol they were worshipping. That ain’t it. They are worshipping bougieness itself — that entire hegemonic project — they are worshipping THEMSELVES. It ain’t Moloch, it’s Narcissus. In the absence of God, the bourgeoisie made THEMSELVES God. And knowing, a priori, that ‘the system made the vaccines and therefore they are good’ is the signifier that ‘I am good and I am God because I am a part of the system.’
Modernity, class, and empire fused to create the most self-obsessed humans in history. The idolatry we are fighting is Narcissism.
Dorit thinks she’s God.
Hotez thinks he’s God.
Offit thinks he’s God.
Fauci thinks he’s God.
Walensky thinks she’s God.
Cohen thinks she’s God.
Jha thinks he’s God.
Califf thinks he’s God.
They don’t worship the vaccine. No, no, that’s outside themselves. They think THEY are God.
They don’t need to read studies! They don’t care about data! Clinical trials? Pshaw! Gods don’t have to concern themselves with those mundane details because they are the science! They create reality.
The fact that they can kill millions of people and get away with it proves that they are God. Only God has that power — the power to decide who lives and who dies and not suffer any consequences for their actions. To them, the carnage is proof of their divinity.
Your moment of Zen

Blessings to the warriors. 🙌
Prayers for everyone fighting to stop the iatrogenocide. 🙏
Huzzah for everyone building the parallel economy our hearts know is possible. ✊
In the comments, please let me know what’s on your mind.
As always, I welcome any corrections.
"The fact that they can kill millions of people and get away with it proves that they are God."
They are also aware that a big chunk of population views them with almost reverence even as they are aware of their own power to "save" millions or kill millions and that they have no oversight, they are the ultimate oversight. I can see why a small man like Fauci may think he is god after spending 50 years in this exalted state.
Thanks for the insights.
These are great as usual, Toby. The narcissism section can be explained in one 3 letter word: sin, but it's good to flesh it out. Unfortunately, we all have this desire to be God. I believe it was Larry Crabb (or Dan Allender?) who said we all hate God and therefore want to BE God.
We've been on vacation in the Great State of Texas and are now returning to the frozen north. 😞 So I'm not keeping up with emails. I've seen the cat video before, which is a crack-up.
One of your tweets was in my husband's feed so I went to X to like it and saw your Eph 6:12 verse at the top. YES, YES, YES. It becomes more obvious every day. Jeff Childers' post today - which my husband reads out loud to me (but skipped a great deal of graphic material today) is more evidence of that with the New Mexico attorney general's lawsuit filed against Meta. Jonathan Cahn's "Return of the Gods" outlines Eph 6:12 and once you see it, you can't un-see it. Our country is under judgment and it's just a matter of time until God says, "enough." That millstone verse comes to mind a lot.
