Great description of the freeze/thaw method. I think it's fair to say that most of us are not acclimated to the idea that truth can be used as a weapon. Those of us who place supreme value on truth are inclined to cheer whenever we see it appear in the world without giving a second thought that it could be used to psychologically manipulate the masses. Honestly, it's such a blind spot and that makes it very dangerous.

What I want to know is when will the day come when we can no longer fear manipulation? When will we be able to trust each other without having to run this parallel algorithm that searches for ulterior motives in our fellow man? Is such a thing even possible for us?

I do not see anything but a very difficult win at best and probably something much worse. Praying for Divine Intervention to enlighten the masses seems like not doing enough, but that's what it's going to take. AtM, I'd say the answer to "when will the day come when we can no longer fear manipulation?" is "Not in our lifetime, most likely."

Not bad as far as it goes, Tom, but if you haven’t figured out that Covid doesn’t exist and it’s all a psyop from the very beginning, go read Tom Rappoport, Amandha Vollmer or Celia Farber and get some schooling.

Thank you for your comment. I've read Rappoport & Farber & others who make the "Covid doesn't exist" argument and do not dismiss their well-presented theories. That said, it's difficult to accept that all that money being spent in Wuhan by Fauci & others wasn't actually being used for biological warfare purposes and was simply another laundering operation.

I don't think there's any question the "Covid Pandemic" was nothing more than a bad flu season spun & hyped into an excuse to get risky-to-dangerous mRNA shots in arms, but I don't see it as an either/or situation either, where the Covid virus negated influenza for an entire year.

Moreover, I question the value of putting my shoulder behind the "Covid doesn't exist" conspiracy question when it's been difficult to convince Americans that the reaction to the fake pandemic was absurdly overblown in the first place.

You've got to pick your battles and, as Harry Callahan says, "A Man's Got to Know His Limitations." Making the "There was no Covid" argument goes in the same file as "There was no plane that hit the Pentagon on 9/11." It may well be true, but it's fifth-level deep chessboard psyop war when the general populace is playing checkers (or Roblox) and the media holds all the mass-market megaphones.

Thanks again for your worthwhile observation. I hope anyone who reads it looks into the work of the trio of researchers you cite and contemplates the possibilities they suggest.

Spent a little time on a "permaculture community" farm just down the road from Woody's place on Maui, myself. Years back.

Just wanted to show some love here for your very even-handed and broad-minded response. Seems like there are those who will go to any lengths to get to "the absolute truth", no matter how bizarre or taboo, and to hell with what the "normies" or the "sheeple" are ready to consider. And then there are those who take the more diplomatic approach and try to chip away at the frozen horrors, ahead of the sanctioned thaw, just hoping to expose them to the light of public scrutiny. The believers in the possibility of an awakened citizenry.

We need both... and blessed are those who can span the gap. Good on you, Tom. Thanks for a well-written piece and for the book reccomendations.

I've been seeing this argument ( it's the DOD) floating around and I don't buy it. Lets start by asking who DID NOT TAKE THE SHOT? Pfizer employers, PHARMA, Executive Branch, Congress, CDC, WHO, Judicial Branch, FDA, NIH. The DOD was ordered by the Commander and Chief to take the SHOT! It wasn't DOD telling you to get the jab it was the local health dept. directed by the WHO and Corporate America. The WHO is controlled by BIG Pharma. Who owns Pharma? Black Rock and they are controlled by the INTL banking cartel. Those of us who have been paying attention know who created and planned this crisis!

"The COVID-19 pandemic started because of a “gain of function” lab leak from Wuhan, China. "

LoL. Nope. Our own Department of Defense did it (DARPA, BARDA, Emerging Technologies and many other actors), with their subsidiaries all over the world (which probably included WIV), but it was not an engineered virus. Nobody can make or modify viruses.

Thank you for your comment. I am totally open to the assertion that the Pentagon was deeply involved in the creation & mass dissemination of the virus. But I also think science can modify viruses and perhaps even create them. I will keep an open mind about it all, tho.

Science cannot modify viruses. Nobody can. They can't even figure out what is an "unmodified virus". Or an unmodified human. Or a potato. Modified or not. Lab leak as an alternative of a lie designed to herd the cattle toward the exit ramp of "please dear government, protect me from evil scientists who modify viruses without a permit".

I actually met Craig Venter, a long time ago. There are a million papers like this one, making claims that they can construct "synthetic life forms". He made those claims a long time ago, and none of them materialized. NIH funds these claims, they fund this vocabulary. It amounts to making papers, by truckloads and inventing new fancy words, but nobody still can make synthetic life forms or "modify" existing ones. By the way, cancer is "modified genome" by definition. They can induce that by a variety of ways. So strictly speaking that's possible. A "modified genome" where you have an uninjured, fully functioning LIVING thing with a healthy normal lifespan - no. They can't even tell you what constitutes a healthy normal genome and how it works.

To clarify, it is possible to synthesize DNA and RNA sequences. It's possible to make synthetic toxins like proteins and peptides. These are NOT organisms, they are not alive and they are not capable of replication, so these are not what popular science claims to be "modified viruses" and popular media likes to fear monger about.

John, did these men (McLellan and Graham) also structure the MCDC consortium with 320 companies, paid $50 Billion to the companies to produce large scale manufacturing demonstrations, ensured total liability protection, including complete FDA cooperation and DOJ lawyers on standby, and took delivery of 600 million doses, and took ownership thereof until they were injected into the arms of bamboozled civilians including pregnant women and children? Maybe you were too busy reading Karen's substack to notice this?

No disagreement but we need to be vigilant that the technologies that are in place are being used, somewhere, to create 'hardware from software'. There are many pieces or inserts being utilized as biological bioweapons.

I don't have the time to review hours of video and thousands of pages of documents. What I absolutely know for sure is that nobody can make a sustainable live pathogen that self spreads. Bioweapons are made all the time, by the US government and experimented on own citizens but all of it amounts to poisoning. Nobody's genomes are modified, they are using the same techniques as used to make "transgenic mice" - those are all injured species with shortened life spans, some sicker than others.

Thank you so much! "Mediagasm" was coined by Frank Rich of the NYTimes during the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky fiasco, but he seems to have disowned it, so I'm happy to steal credit for it if he doesn't want it. "Occultocracy" I think was also Michael Hoffman's creation, but I might be wrong; I do know I read it somewhere else first. I'll take "ragazine" & "pfascist," though. :-)

I have an old book titled History of Magic which explains a method to get in communications with the spirit world, or whatever name you want to describe it as. Goes like something this, have a number of cats prepared for torture, get them screaming, when one dies get another. After quite a number of days of screams without sleeping can one then reach the spirit world.

Well, just replace cats with humans I suppose.

Also, I have noticed a difference in responses to my normally chatting about these events to all my brainwashed acquaintances. This week, since the harrelson spell was cast, now instead of gleaming eyes totally ignoring my chatting points, their shoulders are actually dropping, faces are drooping, eyes are cast down, when I bring up the subject. The spell worked but not as a charm.

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!

Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links.

We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.

WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!

I feel like the equivalent of a grammar Nazi pointing this out, but in No Country for Old Men, there is no screen time shared between Tommy Lee Jones and Woody Harrelson. Jones' character makes his remark about the murdered judge to a different character. Pretty sure it was to Wendell, his deputy. It was definitely not to Carson Wells, Harrelson's hitman character.

The line is from the book. It may very well have inspired Woody's casting.

Off topic but... Your claim as obvious: " Sunday, The Wall Street Journal got hold of a United States Energy Department’s classified intelligence report stating what pretty much anyone who investigated the facts and thought critically already knew: The COVID-19 pandemic started because of a “gain of function” lab leak from Wuhan, China.

Well, duh. Many of us have been saying that for a couple years now. It seemed pretty obvious if you weren’t being paid off or a moron or both."

This is not true.

The virus didn't "leak" from anywhere.

It was deliberately released... and I can prove it.

Thank you for your comment. I do not disagree. I totally believe the virus was intentionally leaked.

I'm not 100% sure of anything. But following the money (and the Fauci fingerprints), I'd say yeah, it came from Wuhan.

Expand full comment

My thought is that the Wuhan conspiracy theory is a deliberate false trail designed to reinforce the myth that bioweapons are scary.

There always has to be something scary to justify their nonsense - I think most (all) of the great scares (overpopulation and food scarcity, nuclear weapons and radiation, overpopulation and peak resources, terrorism, overpopulation and climate change, bioweapons and plagues) are either hugely exaggerated or total fabrications.

Just out of interest - what causes you to doubt the "viruses don't exist" theory?

I doubted it for a considerable period largely on general principles and one or two facts that didn't fit the narrative until I looked into it in more detail. The more I looked into it, the more water it seemed to hold. I'm not certain of course - certainty is for the birds these days - but it seems crystal clear that proponents of the virus theory have entirely failed to prove their case and some of the proofs they attempted (which should have been easy) repeatedly and spectatcularly failed. At the very least I am *almost* certain that many of the diseases which are claimed to be caused by "viruses" are not caused by them, even if it remains possible that one or more other diseases (e.g. measles) are so caused.

Expand full comment

Honestly, I'm going to defer to Del Bigtree & The HighWire team, which spent a lot of time and research digging into the "viruses don't exist" theory and came to the conclusion that viruses do indeed exist.

Expand full comment

Hmmm. I'm deeply suspicious of Del Bigtree for three reasons.

1. He is/was a speaker and a guide/mentor for "The Academy of Divine Knowledge" which linked a lot of dubious actors who became prominent within the (for lack of a better description) medical freedom movement when it emerged early in the pandemic. "The academy of divine knowledge" is/was a new age spiritual group whose web-site (since removed, but you can still find videos showing it if you search hard enough) was littered with occult symbols, featured many known occult Luciferians as members including Sacha Stone, David Icke etc., many members/speakers of Clay Clark's Reawaken America tour and others associated with Michael Flynn, and several "dissident doctors" who seemed (to me at least) to be attempting to give medical dissidence a bad name by design. The whole "spiritual message" is/was of course pure Theosophy/Scientology. RFK Jr was a member too by the way.

2. There are many folks who were part of the grassroots anti-vaccine movement which existed before Del Bigtree and RFK Jr showed up. These folks formed help groups for the vaccine injured, handed out leaflets and campaigned locally to get the message out. Then Bigtree and RFK Jr showed up, took over, made a lot of noise and created publicity, appointed themselves as the movemetn's leaders, hoovered up all the funds (allegations of fraud and embezzlement exist too), misdirected volunteer efforts and generally executed the classic Chaos agent strategy to coopt a movement and misdirect/waste all its resources. Again you can find volunteers who have documented exactly what happened extensively - the info still exists on the web albeit it's not google's top search result :-).

3. He is "connected" through his wife's family (can't remember the details I'm afraid), and he had basically done nothing all his life and then was suddenly a huge player in the anti-vaccine movement. That sort of rise to prominence in a very short time smacks of deliberately manipulated promotion to me. I'm always suspicious of the "dissidents" who reach large numbers of people and appear to benefit from having their message amplified..

Irrespective of my suspicions regarding Del Bigtree - the "viruses don't cause disease" position is worth looking into. You shouldn't take anyone's word for it - and you especially shouldn't take the word of a member of a theosophist/new age cult who is likely to be controlled opposition and whose job (or at least part of his job) is quite possibly to make sure that you don't look at that very question.

Expand full comment

I worked for Del Bigtree & the HighWire and have my misgivings about what's actually driving Del & his team, but my concerns are not nearly so severe as yours.

Won't roll out the whole dog&pony, but I will tell you that Del was a producer at the daytime syndicated series THE DOCTORS. He was digging into vaccine risk and they refused to do the segment. He thought he had enough info to produce his own documentary, VAXXED. I would disagree "he had done basically nothing with his life." He actually was living pretty well as a producer on a popular TV show and took a chance on an issue he felt was critically important to the nation's children, families and overall well-being.

As for becoming "a huge player in the anti-vaccine movement," I'd say there were many years where he was wasn't, really. What he did do was make it his life, maybe more than anybody else.

I don't know anything about "The Academy of Divine Knowledge," Del never mentioned it. But I've personally found value in the writings of Alice Bailey and other notables of the Theosophy movement.

The worst thing I can say about Del is that he wants to be famous, and that's perhaps made him too loyal to some people and not loyal enough to others. But overall I found him a man of integrity, a far better individual than most.

As for the virus question, that's just not my battle to fight or, candidly, investigate. I don't have the science chops, I'm relying on somebody else's information and I can't do the analysis myself. It's not like my other kind of research -- history, entertainment, film, politics -- where I have expertise.

Thank you for your observations, they are provocative and welcome.

Expand full comment

No worries. And no problem if you don't wish to investigate the virus thing. It doesn't take a scientific background (although I have one, but not biology) though. It just takes a little time (2-3 days) and an appreciation for logic.

For anyone who is reading this - probably no-one except you and me at this point :-) - the essence of it is that

(a) scientists certainly find things in samples they take from people.

(b) there is no good evidence that the things they find actually cause disease.

(c) The closest they have come to showing that these "things" cause disease is to take a sample from a diseased patient, culture it in diseased kidney cells, mix those with various toxins and inject them into new cells and the new cells will die. The problem is that the new cells die when just injected with diseased kidney cells mixed with toxins without any of the virus sample added.

(d) None of the "virus experiments" done today ever have controls. And no experiment that did have a control - back when they used to do that - ever showed a different result in the active vs the control arm.

(e) despite many attempts, contagion has never been shown to occur in a proper trial for any of the diseases supposedly caused by viruses.

(f) scientists never find quite the same thing - they just find lots and lots of bits of things which are like jigsaw puzzle pieces. They never make quite the same jigsaw - so scientists claim that viruses constantly mutate. As far as I have been able to work out, every single test produces a new "mutation". Another explanation is that they are just finding random junk and putting lots of little bits together and getting as closed to a reference that they have created on a computer as they can.
