Why I've lost trust in most all intellectuals and the institutions that purport to represent them: they have had almost nothing to say (except by way of support) of the entire Covid response.
I just cannot take these people seriously now or ever. This goes for many supposedly great minds I once respected.
It should be obvious by now that this was and is probably the most important shift in the historical narrative In decades if not hundreds of years.
Why the silence about the following?
* A entire generation was denied actual eduction
* The response showed public would mostly believe any absurdity, even that masks were protective against microbial infection and that standing far apart from people was the key to health
* Governments canceled religious holidays with two thousands years of tradition and got away with it
* A grass-roots movement would rise up among us to defend and enforce preposterous claims including that hiding under the sofa would cause a respiratory infection to go away
* Governments the world over learned that they could perhaps spend without limit, run up debt, and inflate away the obligations
* Industry realized there were far more profits in panic and mandates than in normal marketing
* The ruling class discerned that they could get away with endless abuse of the people provided it was pushed as public health
* The vaccine industry realized that no lie was beyond plausibility even when they were caught and even when their product caused vast injury and death
* Media was revealed to be nothing other than a deep-state megaphone
* Academia proved itself to be mostly useless
Any actual intellectual worth his salt would have been sounding alarms throughout this amazing fiasco. Some have. Very few, mostly associated with new institutions that are displacing the old failed establishment. Legacy thinkers have generally pretended that none of this happened.
Remember these days: an entire generation of vaunted intellectuals is hereby discredited, revealed as sycophants, and otherwise exposed as having chosen the comforts of social position and financial stability over truth.
🚨 Bombshell claim meets documented reality:
Jeffrey Tucker (@jeffreytucker) reveals what top FDA & NIH officials allegedly told him: the lockdowns were designed to delay natural immunity until the shots were ready.
One year ago, one of the world’s most cited scientists — @Stanford professor John Ioannidis (meta-research pioneer and global authority on evidence-based medicine) — already described the price of opposing that narrative:
> “Death threats were very commonplace… both myself and every single member of my family were attacked in ways I could never have imagined.”
> “The vast majority of credentialed scientists self-silenced.”
⚠️ Why threaten and silence leading experts who questioned the preferred policy… if nothing was at play?
🎥 Watch Ioannidis in his own words
Brownstone's article of the week
With total command over media and law enforcement, it is possible to rewrite the collective memory of an entire population if you have one generation in which to accomplish it.

Fauci is actually worse than I thought. I didn't think that was possible. According to this eye-opening interview with @jeffreytucker , the main reason Fauci promoted lockdown of the entire country wasn't to stop the spread so people were protected, it was to stop the spread so natural immunity wouldn't establish before a vaccine could be pushed out. https://t.co/fDiSvbTMGI

Astonishing sequence of events - all the way from October 2019 with what had happened in China that was clearly unusual in what the Chinese authorities did - and Fauci knew something may be up and started preparing for it - hoping it would be just a "bad flu" season - and when that did not happen and the virus sequence was published (and obtained by a researcher in the US) the game was up - Fauci knew it was NOT the "bad flu" - but the novel virus.
What is shocking is the extent to which the then establishment went to make sure that there was no chance for people to develop immunity from getting infected - and so to allow for a novel formulation to be used as the elixir - worse, it was clear that the original formulation was NOT as effective against the alpha version but most people were not told - and that some reformulation (so more jab) would take care of it.
It was clear very early on from sero prevalence studies in Santa Clara by the "fringe epidemiologist" (@DrJBhattacharya) that the virus was already here and many had antibodies - the response to those studies was furious - and the war began on anyone who dared question the ruling class that was determined to get their way - and we saw the censorship apparatus get into gear and become powerful.
I am still not sure why, this time, in 2019/2020 we saw the response (as detailed in the piece) - was it money? was it a desire to use it to thwart Trump? (there is some evidence of that) - Was it to accumulate glory? I mean, was Fauci such a psychopath that he did not care what happened to people as long as he got his way??
The prevailing understanding of poliovirus pathogenesis fails to explain several features of the historical polio epidemic.

A brilliant piece that shows something important: this virus is not like the others. The author considers alternative hypotheses.

NIH Virologist Vinent Munster & his lab researcher have been indicted. Indictment states that, before they left for Africa, they met with a DNA sequencing scientist and told him they planned to bring mpox viruses back.
This was all planned ahead of time.
I bet they plea out.

Truly intelligent people are quick to admit when they do not know or understand something.
Truly competent people are always ready to say what they cannot do and quick to admit error.
People who come by their successes honestly are always happy to credit others with whom they work.
