Great article, and if you don't mind I'll provide a recent example I've come across:

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/15/poll-covid-booster-democrats-00116123

"About 3 in 5 voters plan to get the new Covid booster"

This is how they try to convince you that doing what they want puts you in the majority (sometimes they come out and say "on the right side"). "We're all doing this thing, so you should do it, too!"

I'm old enough to remember when peer pressure was bad -- now government uses it against us.

There's simply no way that I believe that 60% of "voters" are planning on getting a booster. Before they yanked the stats, booster uptake was something like 15% -- and every 'new' booster that comes out makes the 'anti-vaxxers' look more and more sane when we said that they'd never be fully vaccinated.

They aren't real numbers. Just like the artificial political polls these are used to sway the perception and opinion of the public. Fear of missing out (FOMO) works extremely well on those without a solidly defined sense of self. These types look for bandwagons to join because they do not know what they stand for and so they adopt a position from the crowd. NPC is a adequate term to describe them.

The following are lessons they never bothered to learn:

It’s better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. —Gandhi

Fear has two meanings - Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. The choice is yours. —Proverb

They laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at them because they're all the same. —Cobain

I am remembering the poll taken that showed 80% of people (all parties) supported Obama's DACA - deferred action program for young illegals brought her by their parents. It was again stayed by a federal judge just last week. Why do polls seem to persuade? It is called COMFORMITY. Here is how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyDDyT1lDhA (5 minutes)

I should have mention that I knew NO ONE that was for DACA. The poll results were all made up.

Off Topic but thought Texasans would appreciate. Start out with my opinion DOJ needs to be crashed and rebuilt. Then a worthy IMO arose before my eyes. In view of the recent victory and his roaring challenge - none other than Paxton came to my attention

Decided to congratulate with a few Paxton for DOJ comments on my social media. Yes, I do mean it. Today out of the clear blue sky I get an email from Paxton(s org).

These morons have been conditioned that they have to announce to the entire world, every act, every nuance, every damn fart they make, to be publicly broadcast for their pathetic little lives to have any meaning.

This feeling of inadequecy is intentionally being magnified, and encouraged by social interaction, and media.

IMO, This is all a representation of the failed parenting over the last 30 years, allowing children to morph into young adults who then perpetuated this behavior with their own children.

Allowing the television to rear your child has consequences, people. You did this to them, and now they're paying for it.

There is a certain sadness to imagine that there are people in this world that have never had an original thought in their entire lives. These are the folks that are no longer spoon fed their daily info. They have a permanent funnel to the TV brain now. And like the "Sand People", will return in greater numbers.

I have a sister in law who every night leaves CNN on a 50 inch big screen TV (sound on) in the living room, yet sleeps in a bedroom with my brother. I once spent the night there. When I asked her in the morning why do you leave the TV on all night, her reply was...I don't want to miss out on important news!! Wonders why she's always tired. Can you say Dumb as a box of rocks?

I'm one of those that got the first 2 injections, rejected boosters and then got COVID. One can imagine how some thought my refusal of boosters was the cause. My opinion was that if the vaccination was that effective I wouldn't have gotten COVID. All opinion, but I decided there were too many co-morbidities for the poor efficacy.

Over the last year, I've personally encountered hundreds of individuals who had disclosed to me, usually without inquiry or prodding, that they were jabbed, and they

"would never take another jab, not ever!"

No lines at these makeshift death jab hubs, no lines at walgreens, or any of these focal points of pharma distribution, no church parking lots with cars lined up.

All this "getting boosted" is pure propoganda, as people who were gung ho before, are either dead, permanently disabled, or are simply not getting it, because the previous iterations made them sickly, or they've been sick a half dozen times since.

My wife's lifelong friend was sick, in bed the last 4 days. Jabbed, boosted twice more, she just cannot get back to normal, and although still a cov-idiot at heart, says she was so incredibly ill after each shot, will not be getting another.

And we don't believe politicians, why?

I pray it is not true! Doesn't Social distancing and Isolation cause humans to seek out shelter in cults? I am taking a survey from my readers as to their intentions this fall. Might be bias because they are readers who are seeking the truth. When the "truth" is funneled through the mass media and edits out any opposing view, means we have the majority of the population believing they are doing the right thing!

I'm not convinced that support of new boosters is that strong. We have, however, evidence of some disasterous outcomes of such group behaviour. I think of Germany, Russia and China as recent examples. The cult in Germany has been well-documented and public - even used to demonize more current politicians; but the horrific practices of in Russia and China are less well-known - I wonder why?

Expand full comment

Fear was at the core of the Covid vaccine cult--we were terrorized into believing that if we didn't get the jabs we would die of Covid, and since there was no way to avoid being infected, the choice was jabs or death.

We can't convince cult members to quit. They have to decide that for themselves. But what we can do is create alternatives, ways of thinking and living that are more attractive than the cult of fear. Already people are refusing to get boosted, which is very, very good, but they still need alternatives.

With the economic disaster that's looming, whether from a gov't shutdown, more banks collapsing, or the middle class going completely belly up--probably some combination if not all three--people are going to need alternatives. As we saw in the 1930's, the Great Depression drove a lot of people to fascism because they saw it as the only way to survive.

We need to provide other choices and use the media we have to discuss them. Charles Hugh Smith offers an alternative way of thinking in this article on dailyreckoning.com: https://dailyreckoning.com/reinventing-democracy/. Once again, I read some of the writers on DR but avoid others.

Let's keep the conversation going. Dr. Malone's articles are always thought-provoking, and the comments certainly offer a spectrum of ideas.

Thank you, Drs. Malone, for giving us this forum.

As a retired physician who has been critical of the medical profession’s and bureaucracy’s response to Covid, I have also experienced being cut off from old friends and family members. Like Jill if I post a link to your or other “conservative” thinkers, the post gets nearly zero engagement. A picture of my dog or a beautiful moonrise gets widespread approval. Thank you for being at the vanguard of the movement against censorship and “rightthink.” I know you have paid a heavy price.

Expand full comment

I’m really sorry you and Jill have been treated as heretical apostates by your in-law and other relatives in that branch of the family.

I had a similar experience with my father, which I wrote about in this piece and elaborated on in the podcast:

• “Letter to an Agree-to-Disagree Relative” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-an-agree-to-disagree-relative)

• “Letter to an Agree-to-Disagree Relative (Podcast)” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-an-agree-to-disagree-relative-afc)

As I wrote in the latter:

“My father half-jokingly called me ‘the enemy’ and urged me to watch CNN, MSNBC, and other ‘trustworthy’ news sources to get a more balanced perspective 😂”

He also said the most hurtful things he could think of, assailing my integrity by implying I was doing this work for money (and yet our tax guy just told me our income was drastically lower last year 🤔) and even asking if I was a Holocaust denier, despite knowing I am fully aware we had relatives at Auschwitz and that I have repeatedly written about the Holocaust, earning flak from actual Holocaust deniers every time I do.

The reason I am sharing this experience is not to vilify my father but rather to demonstrate the depth of his indoctrination … and share a glimmer of hope.

Yesterday, we spoke on the phone, and he joked that I’m about to get busy again because the new COVID shots were just approved. I made a lighthearted remark about them only being tested on 20 mice and then shifted the conversation to other topics. Then, as the call was drawing to a close, I asked him, “You’re not going to get any more shots, are you?”

He said, “I don’t know … probably not.”

I praised him and said I didn’t know how anyone could subject themselves to further shots after the last three years. It was the most encouraging exchange I’ve had with him about the topic since the COVID psyop started.

That, to me, is a strong indication that normies are starting to wake up to having been bamboozled, and if someone who was as entrenched as him in the narrative is finally coming around, I can only hope that means others around the world will say NO to the future shots, even if they’re proffered with donuts.

Robert, regarding your question:

“How do we teach resistance to cult formation and behaviors, particularly as they seem so insidiously pervasive in our digital lives?”

I strongly recommend Laura Dodsworth’s latest book, “Free Your Mind,” which I consider a book-length version of the 12-step recovery program from menticide I outlined here:

• “Letter to the Menticided: A 12-Step Recovery Program” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-menticided-a-12-step)

I also greatly appreciated this article on the topic of UnMinding:

https://alicengrey.substack.com/p/ideological-identification-when-cultism

Alicen Grey grew up in a cult so brings an empirical understanding of how cults operate and how to psychologically break free of them.

My brother is totally estranged from me, but not due to covid. I see his occasional letters to our small local newspaper and he recently cited an NPR article which said Republican voters were 43% more likely to die from covid than Democrat. I suppose he's still drinking the Kool-Aid. I know he was vaccinated at least once. I would like to know if he still supports Biden, but I assume he does, because he absolutely hates Trump (and Republicans, and conservatives, and Christians). I would be very interested in knowing what he thinks of RFK Jr.

With all due respect, why would you care about any of his opinions, or beliefs are at this moment? I have family members whove ostracized myself, and my wife, and their existence has become meaningless at this point, at least for me. You treat me this way, and i'm supposed to care about you, ever again?

For me, Covid has clarified who my real friends and family are, not all of them being biologically related. My circle is narrowed, focused, and no longer muddled with users, and self importance.

I understand how you feel. I have to care, and pray for him, because I am a follower of Christ, but it's up to him whether or not we're ever reconciled. Romans 12:18 tells me, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." I am prepared to offer him food if we ever have shortages, but he would probably rather starve than take it. 😊 He's angry and irrational. He made a veiled threat once, and after that my husband would not let me go alone to my mother's house (next door to my brother). If I'd not been a Christian I probably would have cut her out of my life. It's a horrible thing to say, but I felt free when she died.

I think that the cult members unconsciously justify their belief in the cult by condemning non-believers. It's an interesting psychological dynamic. They make themselves feel better by condemning others - not a psychologically healthy practice, and hurtful to others.

I agree wholeheartedly.

There is a side of being human that has some folks thinking that by besmirching or downgrading another human, or their belief system that they somehow are risen up above the rest of the world, or at least those in their microcosm they exist within.

My wife works for a small mom and pop insurance agency. Her immediate supervisor is one of these people. This woman seems to relish in the thought that making the life of another person intolerable is somehow joyous. It's crazy to think that there are people out there that are like this, but unfortunately, they're quite prevalent.

On the transgender mutilations industry, that's going to be with us until the trial lawyers get into the act and start suing the hospitals, doctors, pharma co;s., social influencers, and everyone else who profited from the lies and misinformation dished out to these kids by greedy and sick adults. The climate cult will be harder to defeat, as they control billions of dollars and have the backing of the CCP, who want the West, in particular, the U.S., to destroy our economies and societies so they can colonize us. After all, that's what the Chinese have done for 5,000 years and they're good at it.

We, too, have been banished from polite society by some family members and friends for our transgressions, questioning St. Fauci and his minions. But, some of these people are sick already and at least some are coming around to the reality that they've been lied to and manipulated by the worst sorts of people. The key is to keep spreading the information and taking strong stands for our scientific ideas, supported by the facts, but to do so in a mild and gentle way. You catch more bees with honey than you can with vinegar.

Dr Malone, you answered your own question from this Substack (“if like me, you are still mystified as to how our society, which become so hysterical over COVID-19, then managed to pivot 180 degrees to becoming just as hysterical about climate change science <insert sarcasm emoji> and the science <insert sarcasm emoji> of gender ideology.”) in another Substack the other day. You stated that we needed to “stop, listen, think and pray.” Unfortunately, a large percentage of society no longer possesses either the faculties nor desire, probably both, to do such a thing as you suggest.

Dr. Malone, you touch on an issue with which I have come to believe, that the LGBTQ+ (Q+) movement has actually achieved the status of a religion and must be treated as such as it relates to the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, making it ineligible to be promoted by the government as it is now. What group has standing to challenge in court? The "T" component was dormant until lately; now it's dominant. The "Q" (Questioning) component threatens to make matters even worse, if that's even possible.

Any group that has been formed, be it Right to Choose, Gay and Lesbian marriage rights, Transgender Right to not be discriminated against for employment, and so forth are all part of the religion of depopulation, whether they know it or not and SCOTUS has gone right along with it.

My issue with all this is, beyond the issues of abortion and child abuse, why have personal sexual choices become such an overarching issue in need of public knowledge and 'approval'?

Why Jean – control. We all must be controlled. None of this is organic. A few ‘rungs’ were set before I was born with eugenics, followed by abortion. Then the 1967 Jaffe memo to Berelson outlining LGBT+.

Putting sin and saving souls aside; What has been called, and rightly so, a slippery slope, has almost hit bottom. Starting at the top (A God-centric society) and moving down rung by rung has worked. God has been slowly replaced with acceptance, then affirmation followed by exaltation of man over nature, and now science. The reward is self-identification, in which full participation with the lies is required. It was a slow process but not difficult. Man has always wanted to shed the Hand of God from his conscience. God is not a religion (dogma).

We are told to love everyone, go along to get alone, to be kind, to support one another. Here we are. There are no souls to save. Man does not have one.

Appreciate the perspective. I'm not attributing where I've been or where I am to something specific. Bits and pieces helped along the way perhaps, but I've never been a part of what you describe.

Instead of the never-ending ever-changing letters after the first half-dozen, (are you not aware of them all, I can't keep up) I'm suggesting that instead, the litany of letters can be reduced to Q+, which is all-inclusive. No one is left out. No one's feelings are hurt. It just simplifies things. I'm surprised you don't agree.

The whole idea behind all the letters is each letter recognizes a single group, a group others can join with an understanding of what that identity brings with it. And for those with such proclivities, they can move between the letters of their choice at any given time. To take on the 'new' me!

"... definition of gender - as defined by the World Health Organization. Because we all know the WHO is the global arbiter of health truthiness."

"Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviors, and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or byy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time"

I have a simpler definition: Look below your belt. Do you see a penus? If so, you are a MALE. This is not a social construct.

If you feel it is a social construct, just have someone kick you there just below, and see how "socially deconstructed" you become.
