My thought is that a desire for more subscribing followers is also a motivator.
I am a paid follower because I admire brilliance and integrity. RM, I hope your hobby farm can help you keep some serenity in these turbulent times. I don’t know where our society will end up with the globalists doing a full press attack on our Constitutional freedoms. Covid just might have been a blessing in that we now can better see the evil the globalists are capable of doing. Your wisdoms are wide and deep, for which I am both amazed and greatfull.
After Elon's famous G F Y interview last November, I found an expanded set of excerpts from the same on YouTube's "The DCShorts" channel. This one was meaningful to me as an explicit recognition of an obvious phenomenon by someone with the power to move against it:
"What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil. <expletive> them."
Having watched the Tucker Carlson interview with Brett Weinstein recently, I noted that Brett sees only a couple of ways out of the impending WHO treaty disaster that is about to befall our nation. One way is for the old Soviet bloc countries to rescue us, but the other is that some kind of cohesive entity or force or platform brings together (and keeps together) the independent thinkers with a platform so that these individual "lone wolves" can "save" us. Dr. Malone, I know that you subject yourself to a lot of abuse (it does not go unnoticed), and I thank you for it. I know that you have a cadre of like-minded heroes out there fighting along side you. Please keep on with what you are doing. I can't tell you how many seemingly disparate people I run into these days who are willing to discuss where we are in history. We still have to circle around each other for a short while to make sure we are "friendlies" but the friendly (and questioning) group is growing. People like you (and the wonderful Dr. Campbell's channel) have been a God send. I will keep praying for you and your family.
Hmm. Interesting. I see the circling as more of a decision making process on how I will dialogue with someone. If they are awakened, I will have a very different conversation! If someone is on the fence, I would like to be able to share things with them that might move them off the fence. If someone has no idea what is going on, my goal is to gently nudge them to start thinking outside the box they're in. But you are right that if the human mind tends toward purity spirals, it's something to be aware of during interactions. Thanks for pointing that out!
Once God is removed us humans are stuck with our own impulses which include being included, being right, being worshiped, being on top, being a winner . . . never about light and dark, truth and madness.
Thanks for the reply. Trying to grasp how “purity cycling” becomes harmful if not just deceitful. I follow Peter Boghossian and trying to determine what the negative comments claim regarding his attempting to educate the public regarding how ridiculous ideas can become considered reality. What are your thoughts of his work?
Never say “never” and “only,” but “the true Enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. No, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong" (Karl Popper). And this guy: "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" (Socrates). Hard positions to stand on.
Well said. The people I trust the most are those who follow Jesus, and follow science. God created the universe, and trying to understand how it works is a noble pursuit. Read the writings of Isaac Newton, for example. I watched Tucker interview Joseph Lapado MD PhD ( the Florida Surgeon General) last night. As a fellow doctor and follower of Jesus, his opinions and heart resonated deeply with me. We are in an epic battle between good ( God) and evil ( Satan). Dr. Lapado is courageous to speak up for the good, morally and scientifically. Kudos to Dr Malone to refer to Jesus’ teaching, in his commentary on those in the medical freedom movement out to take him down. Money and ego are the gas driving most movements. We need to hang onto the Truth. Who or what is the source of that truth ? That was the question Pontus Pilate asked Jesus right before sending Him to the cross. The rest, as they say, is history.
Why do I find most every person that falls into these spirals of virtue phony. The town I grew up in is full of them and they are destroying the town. Seeing it was Martin Luther King day just yesterday I wanted to use a famous quote of his “Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character”. Wouldn’t it be so refreshing to live by that truth. By the standards set in the definition of moral grandstanding I proudly say I live by truths not myths so therefore I must be a bad person. God I miss the days when people were judged by their character. Maybe someday we can get back to the truth. https://www.google.com/search?q=led+zepplin+the+boy+next+door&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:7079dbcd,vid:GGsmyqIrZRo,st:0 J.Goodrich
Barbara: Most (Normie) people cannot see anything unless their smartphone tells them to. Maybe if we could get smartphones to think for them, they'd listen ?
Nope.
Shut down all cell towers, turn all communication systems down, and just wait for it.
And yet the content of his character was of a serial adulterer. Do not listen to what people say, rather watch how they conduct themselves. MLK was a script reader. He did not author his speeches.
I encountered such a situation when a group I socialized with turned on me for being a concealed carry permit holder. In my own home at a lunch I was hosting no less! I was made to feel stupid and dangerous to humankind! Of course it was my fault for allowing myself to “feel” that way. But it is amazing how others in the group quickly began to agree with the bullies! We have to be strong in our beliefs. Let’s buoy each other as often as we can.
The best answer to the gun narrative is a question I heard from a female years ago. "How does taking away my right to defend myself make your life safer?"
My sister is anti gun. She said to me why would anyone need a gun? She lives alone and I said if someone broke through your door at 2am and you heard them walking down the hall towards your bedroom, wouldn’t it be nice to have a gun, point it at the door, and say come any closer and I’m going to blast you. I said the guy would turn and run out your door. Further she said she wanted to live in a safer country I said where and she said Switzerland. I sent her a link showing it’s one of the most armed countries in the world. People who serve are nearly forced to take their rifle home after discharged. Silence. Then she said she didnt want to talk about it. I love my sister BTW….
Comforting conclusions about guns as defense drawn from thought experiments like this can and do lead to unintended injury or death. Best know, for example, to an absolute certainty who is outside that door.
Agreed, but if someone smashes through my door at 2 in the morning and is heading in my direction I rather have a gun even if I don’t need it then need a gun and not have it. In many ways I look at it like a tool.
Of course it is a tool, an extension of yourself, and a potentially very dangerous one, particularly in the dark. Are you going to holler 'Friend or foe?' and give away your position. And shoot blindly at anything that comes near?
You probably should have listened to you gut and just left that interview right at the start. My wife was once in a artist group business meeting where the little green monkeys were dissing her ideas (she was much more successful than the others) She said: "I will not participate in my own abuse" and walked out. All the psychological and philosophical terms still come down to this. Being Othered, Canceled, Purity Spirals, Moral Outbidding, and all the Marxist struggle session crap can be answered by: "He who is without sin may cast the 1st stone". And, always remember the sage words from Deteriorata: "A walk through the ocean of most souls will scarcely get you feet wet". When they point a finger at you they are pointing 3 fingers back at themselves. So have a better day and thanks for the dive into these terms and concepts.
Which labels did Swabbie mention that need a scale? I think if I was 'othered' or 'canceled' it would not include a scale of how bad the 'othering' or 'canceling' was.
Micheal, do you have an example for my tired brain today?
I meant all labels. Hard to find absolutes in human behavior. Take the word sociopath. It is actually a sliding scale from not really so bad to outright terrible. Problem is most folks do not understand that and so you stick that label on someone you may lead folks to an entirely different opinion of him than you meant.
Why should we be the conductor of another's unconsciousness, its self-abandonment, we should not do it. Not to say we leave the meeting, but we set a boundary.
Good stuff here Dr Malone. To see something, to become aware of something real that one was previously not aware of, is to begin to understand that something, and to automatically disarm its unconscious power over one. It’s like a cheat sheet on psychoanalysis. This really is important.
There’s a “National Enquirer” component to the purity spiral with foul-mouthed, not-so-pure individuals jockeying for position as the top sage. This “sage cycle” is missing more than a few spokes...
I recognized this “purity spiraling” in a few of my circle. It helps explain what it going on. These purity tests are indeed divisive and we need to be very aware of these social factors. In order for our medical freedom movement to continue to be healthy, we must learn to have grace for one another. Each of us is an individual and needs to be understood as having different gifts and life experiences. Let’s pray we can focus on truth and not ego. We need to work together and support one another.
Remember there are millions of people, worldwide, who appreciate what you and Jill are doing for humanity. Also, along the lines of your second action items, I once knew a forensic psychologist who was brilliant at giving me very effective replies for getting out of (usually terminating) discussions like the one you found yourself in during that podcast. Her suggestions were very nonintuitive for me, but they worked incredibly well. I felt empowered, the other party wasn’t diminished but instead realized they were behaving inappropriately (or at least not in the best interest of whatever their goals were) and I was able to move on with grace and without ruminating about the situation. I believe she was a uniquely skilled psychologist. I met her through a colleague when I was dealing with a letter from a stalker. In one short email to the stalker, she guaranteed that he would never contact me again. I don’t know how she knew that, but it worked. Later, I had a bullying encounter with someone in the org that I worked for, and again, I was able to deflect that situation using her reply. I might be able to track her down if you’d like to be in touch with her. Otherwise, I’m mentioning this because perhaps you will know or find someone like that who can give you those solutions. Maybe more of us would benefit from studying forensic psychology as well. It would be nice to find a primer that gives the solutions in succinct form. Sometimes I invest the time in things like that in order to be better prepared for my next life! 🙂
One method is to make it a habit of laughing at people who take themselves seriously. Even when you can't get a word in edgewise their words slide off you and you do really get the "last laugh." One time when I was being attacked online a friend said, "You actually enjoy goading these people on, don't you?"
Yes, laughter is good medicine too, but in my experience, halting abuse, especially without demeaning the other party, is also very uplifting. And putting an end to abuse is in some cases an absolute necessity. I hadn’t seen or in any way communicated with my stalker in several decades (since I was a tween and he was in elementary school), and yet all that time he was stalking me without leaving any clues. In the case of the colleague in my org, he seemed pretty hell-bent on “throwing his weight around” and making others miserable, and eventually I came into his sights. Most people I knew avoided him. It’s no joke to be confronted by someone whose thoughts are beyond what you can fathom. Yet just a few well-chosen, nonintuitive sentences makes the whole thing disappear! Eventually I became the head of the org, and (coincidentally?) he moved to another org six months before I took over…. That’s what I call really disappearing. 🙂. I don’t ever think about these incidents unless a situation like this comes up and the approach might be of help to someone else.
Best to call a host on the use of these purity tests which attempts to force one into one side or another by limiting answers to the binary realm. That is not discussion, that is a trap and is used all the time in the media and also in courtrooms.
For what I”It” is worth, You and Dr. JM are Loved more than You can imagine. I have learned to remove Myself from “Loud and Agressive Persons”, Desiderata, Max Ehrmann, 1927. Ed
The other one rigging parachutes was “Consider the consequences if You are careless in Your work”. Let’s just say, We were packing some technical “stuff” Ever seen an ejection seat? 🔥🤣🏴☠️. Ed
Nearly a year ago, hero/Senator Ron Johnson introduced S.444 - No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act. Looking at congress(dot)gov, we see that the bill, stalled on the desk of the Committee on Foreign Relations, has 47 co-sponsors. All Republican. Zero Democrats. And since Democrats hold the majority in the Senate, the bill would probably not pass a floor vote.
Here we see a bizarre case showing a Senate which, with its current composition, would refuse to support an oversight authority and responsibility assigned by the US Constitution to.....the Senate.
Article II, Section 2: "He [the President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;..."
One of the advantages of being unanimously unprincipled sellouts is the power of following the party line while being untroubled by principle, and richly sponsored for corruption. Do all Democrats, in their heart of hearts, really believe in ceding national and individual sovereignties to the UN/WHO?
We find ourselves in a dissident dilemma. Do we demand strict adherence to a group dogma in pursuit of a needed majority, and embrace a robotic mindset? Or do we build a community of dissidents generally aligned in purpose, but with disagreements and independent thought allowed, and risk the fragmentation that shatters hopes of voting victories?
In any case, I'm a regular consumer of these Substack articles because I believe Dr. Malone's approach is the soundest of those I've heard. Certainly more so than any self-righteous defrocked UK surgeon Dr. whatshisname.
Thank you for the reminder there is nothing I can do about the WHO takeover. Writing my Rep or two Senators is not going to budge one democrat. The Committee on Foreign Relations operates under the same flag as the Committee on Armed Services. It's the U.N.'s flag.
I have sent a letter to my state rep. and sen. re public health and suggesting that Texas virtually divorces itself from all fed programs and bolster those instate. I specifically mentioned the w.h.o. “treaty”. Chip Roy my congressional rep and already there and my senators…….?
Ted Cruz is on the Committee on Foreign Relations and he knows he has a safe 'yes' vote on Johnson's bill because the Dems will never pass it. This is how it works. All GOP members can vote no and look good. They really don't want to be in charge.
Great idea for Texas. I’m sure the Governors and AGs in red states all talk to one another on strategies.
Exactly the point I made. My state rep has replied favorably to other e-mails I sent her and so will hope. My state Sen. is an emergency room doc so heaven knows where she will or can stand on this issue. Think Cruz a problem my other Sen. is Cornyn so…..
I agree that the Governors and AGs probably do talk, but most do nothing with that talk. Instead they pursue “safe” issues that few red staters disagree with, such as pro life and pro gun.
But don’t you dare cross the globalist agenda, even in red states. Our “red” state of Idaho is almost completely controlled by the corporatists (e.g., IACI.ORG), with only a few brave legislators (e.g., Idaho Freedom Caucus and a few others) speaking truth to power and standing for Constitutional principles and values.
Many Idahoans register with or identify as Republicans, but they do not support or vote for conservative, Consitutional values. In fact, many are supported by and vote with Democrats more often than not.
Like many here, I’ve called and emailed my US and State elected officials, with little to show for it. Some respond with platitudes that don’t reflect the initial query; others do not respond at all.
One strategy does appear to be working: the appeal to lesser magistrates (i.e., starting from the bottom of the elected official chain). For example, in Idaho, commissioners from three counties have signed unanimous (though non binding) resolutions advising against the gene modification shots. This is an ongoing and difficult effort, but it’s starting to gain traction. We welcome others to join the model. A standalone substack article with details and some tools for using this model will be available soon. It will be linked here (https://eolson47.substack.com/p/covid-essential-links and elsewhere). In the meantime, you can see the basics at https://eolson47.substack.com/i/137369913/boise-county-commissioners-advise-against-gene-therapy-shots
Understand a lot of new Idahoans are refugees from Calif. These vermin claim to be conservative but I have seen them change the I35 corridor in Texas from safely red in 2016 to purple in 2020 and getting bluer. And keep hearing how conservative they are. Horse hockey!
We are new (a couple of years now) refugees from the Portland area. We are more conservative and aware than many natives. The worst problems are the mainstream media and social media, and the bought and paid for politicians.
IACI is the corporatist/globalist business group that has captured much of Idaho’s bureaucracy, executive branch, courts, law enforcement, medical institutions, and many legislators. The Rs talk a good game when they campaign, only to betray a politically uneducated electorate. In ID, the primaries matter most. Democrats don’t often take the general elections but they do back the most left leaning Republicans they can — just as they did in CO, TX, and other states.
Last year I sent my state rep and senator copies of other state's bills on issues that matter. I also send to legislative committee heads. I know that they have staff that keep track of what other states are doing but I send anyway so they know that the peons they serve aren't clueless. I will do the same this year.
I know about the Idaho Freedom Caucus through JBS. We need one here too. Did they not stop the ID COS last year?
Here is some information about the State Freedom Caucus Network in case you want to get involved and start one for your state: https://statefreedomcaucus.org/
You are educating (immunizing) yourself against the phenomena known as the emotional plague. It is the, mostly unconscious, tendency of armored (emotionally damaged) humans to attack and destroy the truth and life in other human beings, always well rationalized as being for the good. It has its endemic (emotional plague in everyday life, jealousy, envy, pettiness) and epidemic forms (mass formation, fascism, communism.) forms. It serves the function of protecting the individual infected with the plague (most of us, at some point in our lives since we are all damaged) from the perception of, and pain of, the perception of their own inadequacy (the little man syndrome) by making them feel noble and powerful, when they are, in fact, spreading evil. This conceptualization of human evil in the social realm was proposed by Wilhelm Reich, M.D. and its foremost proponent currently is Dr. Charles Konia, author of "The Emotional Plague": "Clueless" and "Neither Left nor Right." I highly recommend these authors to you, and I will continue to support your efforts to find and spread truth.
I applaud your efforts to educate those of us who have been "othered" over the past several years; it does feel lonely, until you find like-minded and open-minded folks like yourself and can call them friends.
Keep up the great work, and as my dad used to advise, don't let the bastards get you down!
My thought is that a desire for more subscribing followers is also a motivator.

I and several I know watch Dr. Campbell's channel. A kind, level-headed purveyor of truth. He, as Dr. Malone, is a treasure.
Shelly, a podcast, Dr. Campbell?
YouTube videos - I'm not a YT subscriber but a friend sends me links to each of Campbell's latest video.
https://www.youtube.com/user/Campbellteaching
My favorite aunt disowned me when she divined I supported Trumpie. Ouch
Your comment ‘“circle the friendlies” causes me to wonder if this would become “a purity spiral”? How could this be avoided?
Hmm. Interesting. I see the circling as more of a decision making process on how I will dialogue with someone. If they are awakened, I will have a very different conversation! If someone is on the fence, I would like to be able to share things with them that might move them off the fence.

Once God is removed us humans are stuck with our own impulses which include being included, being right, being worshiped, being on top, being a winner . . . never about light and dark, truth and madness.
A person can remove themself from God (the cultural institution) but God (the hard-wired impulse to understand) can't be removed from the person.
Thanks for the reply. Trying to grasp how “purity cycling” becomes harmful if not just deceitful. I follow Peter Boghossian and trying to determine what the negative comments claim regarding his attempting to educate the public regarding how ridiculous ideas can become considered reality. What are your thoughts of his work?
I haven't followed his work. I will have to check it out!
Never say “never” and “only,” but “the true Enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. No, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong" (Karl Popper). And this guy: "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" (Socrates). Hard positions to stand on.
"Us" can often be at the cusp of becoming "Them"
There is better way of saying this...I just haven't had any coffee yet. lol

Maybe with humility?

The high road is rarely the wrong road. On the other hand, 1 Kings 18 suggests there are times to get in evil’s face and ridicule it to scorn.
Yes, laughter is good medicine too, but in my experience, halting abuse, especially without demeaning the other party, is also very uplifting. And putting an end to abuse is in some cases an absolute necessity. I hadn’t seen or in any way communicated with my stalker in several decades (since I was a tween and he was in elementary school), and yet all that time he was stalking me without leaving any clues. In the case of the colleague in my org, he seemed pretty hell-bent on “throwing his weight around” and making others miserable, and eventually I came into his sights. Most people I knew avoided him. It’s no joke to be confronted by someone whose thoughts are beyond what you can fathom. Yet just a few well-chosen, nonintuitive sentences makes the whole thing disappear! Eventually I became the head of the org, and (coincidentally?) he moved to another org six months before I took over…. That’s what I call really disappearing. 🙂. I don’t ever think about these incidents unless a situation like this comes up and the approach might be of help to someone else.
Best to call a host on the use of these purity tests which attempts to force one into one side or another by limiting answers to the binary realm. That is not discussion, that is a trap and is used all the time in the media and also in courtrooms.
For what I”It” is worth, You and Dr. JM are Loved more than You can imagine. I have learned to remove Myself from “Loud and Agressive Persons”, Desiderata, Max Ehrmann, 1927. Ed
Was just reading that today. They are vexations to the spirit.
The other one rigging parachutes was “Consider the consequences if You are careless in Your work”. Let’s just say, We were packing some technical “stuff” Ever seen an ejection seat? 🔥🤣🏴☠️. Ed

Nearly a year ago, hero/Senator Ron Johnson introduced S.444 - No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act. Looking at congress(dot)gov, we see that the bill, stalled on the desk of the Committee on Foreign Relations, has 47 co-sponsors. All Republican. Zero Democrats. And since Democrats hold the majority in the Senate, the bill would probably not pass a floor vote.
Here we see a bizarre case showing a Senate which, with its current composition, would refuse to support an oversight authority and responsibility assigned by the US Constitution to.....the Senate.
Article II, Section 2: "He [the President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;..."
One of the advantages of being unanimously unprincipled sellouts is the power of following the party line while being untroubled by principle, and richly sponsored for corruption. Do all Democrats, in their heart of hearts, really believe in ceding national and individual sovereignties to the UN/WHO?
We find ourselves in a dissident dilemma. Do we demand strict adherence to a group dogma in pursuit of a needed majority, and embrace a robotic mindset? Or do we build a community of dissidents generally aligned in purpose, but with disagreements and independent thought allowed, and risk the fragmentation that shatters hopes of voting victories?
In any case, I'm a regular consumer of these Substack articles because I believe Dr. Malone's approach is the soundest of those I've heard. Certainly more so than any self-righteous defrocked UK surgeon Dr. whatshisname.
thank you
Thank you for the reminder there is nothing I can do about the WHO takeover. Writing my Rep or two Senators is not going to budge one democrat. The Committee on Foreign Relations operates under the same flag as the Committee on Armed Services. It's the U.N.'s flag.
I have sent a letter to my state rep. and sen. re public health and suggesting that Texas virtually divorces itself from all fed programs and bolster those instate. I specifically mentioned the w.h.o. “treaty”. Chip Roy my congressional rep and already there and my senators…….?
Ted Cruz is on the Committee on Foreign Relations and he knows he has a safe 'yes' vote on Johnson's bill because the Dems will never pass it. This is how it works. All GOP members can vote no and look good. They really don't want to be in charge.
Great idea for Texas. I’m sure the Governors and AGs in red states all talk to one another on strategies.
Exactly the point I made. My state rep has replied favorably to other e-mails I sent her and so will hope. My state Sen. is an emergency room doc so heaven knows where she will or can stand on this issue. Think Cruz a problem my other Sen. is Cornyn so…..
I agree that the Governors and AGs probably do talk, but most do nothing with that talk. Instead they pursue “safe” issues that few red staters disagree with, such as pro life and pro gun.
But don’t you dare cross the globalist agenda, even in red states. Our “red” state of Idaho is almost completely controlled by the corporatists (e.g., IACI.ORG), with only a few brave legislators (e.g., Idaho Freedom Caucus and a few others) speaking truth to power and standing for Constitutional principles and values.
Many Idahoans register with or identify as Republicans, but they do not support or vote for conservative, Consitutional values. In fact, many are supported by and vote with Democrats more often than not.
Like many here, I’ve called and emailed my US and State elected officials, with little to show for it. Some respond with platitudes that don’t reflect the initial query; others do not respond at all.
One strategy does appear to be working: the appeal to lesser magistrates (i.e., starting from the bottom of the elected official chain). For example, in Idaho, commissioners from three counties have signed unanimous (though non binding) resolutions advising against the gene modification shots. This is an ongoing and difficult effort, but it’s starting to gain traction. We welcome others to join the model. A standalone substack article with details and some tools for using this model will be available soon. It will be linked here (https://eolson47.substack.com/p/covid-essential-links and elsewhere). In the meantime, you can see the basics at https://eolson47.substack.com/i/137369913/boise-county-commissioners-advise-against-gene-therapy-shots
Understand a lot of new Idahoans are refugees from Calif. These vermin claim to be conservative but I have seen them change the I35 corridor in Texas from safely red in 2016 to purple in 2020 and getting bluer. And keep hearing how conservative they are. Horse hockey!
We are new (a couple of years now) refugees from the Portland area. We are more conservative and aware than many natives. The worst problems are the mainstream media and social media, and the bought and paid for politicians.
IACI is the corporatist/globalist business group that has captured much of Idaho’s bureaucracy, executive branch, courts, law enforcement, medical institutions, and many legislators. The Rs talk a good game when they campaign, only to betray a politically uneducated electorate. In ID, the primaries matter most. Democrats don’t often take the general elections but they do back the most left leaning Republicans they can — just as they did in CO, TX, and other states.
I had to learn all this the hard way, and created a voting guide that might help some in ID and other states: https://eolson47.substack.com/p/idaho-voting-guide-updated-91423
Last year I sent my state rep and senator copies of other state's bills on issues that matter. I also send to legislative committee heads. I know that they have staff that keep track of what other states are doing but I send anyway so they know that the peons they serve aren't clueless. I will do the same this year.
I know about the Idaho Freedom Caucus through JBS. We need one here too. Did they not stop the ID COS last year?
Our legislators don’t have staff, but sending information to their official emails does go into the record.
Don’t know about COS and Idaho Freedom Caucus, but I’m not a fan of it. Our Idaho GOP Chairwoman wrote a good op-ed about it: https://idgop.org/2024/01/04/turning-to-a-convention-of-states-in-times-of-national-crisis-is-not-the-answer/
Here is some information about the State Freedom Caucus Network in case you want to get involved and start one for your state: https://statefreedomcaucus.org/
This has been a gnawing suspicion of mine.
Dear Dr Malone,
You are educating (immunizing) yourself against the phenomena known as the emotional plague. It is the, mostly unconscious, tendency of armored (emotionally damaged) humans to attack and destroy the truth and life in other human beings, always well rationalized as being for the good. It has its endemic (emotional plague in everyday life, jealousy, envy, pettiness) and epidemic forms (mass formation, fascism, communism.) forms. It serves the function of protecting the individual infected with the plague (most of us, at some point in our lives since we are all damaged) from the perception of, and pain of, the perception of their own inadequacy (the little man syndrome) by making them feel noble and powerful, when they are, in fact, spreading evil. This conceptualization of human evil in the social realm was proposed by Wilhelm Reich, M.D. and its foremost proponent currently is Dr. Charles Konia, author of "The Emotional Plague": "Clueless" and "Neither Left nor Right." I highly recommend these authors to you, and I will continue to support your efforts to find and spread truth.
Thank you,
Ed Chastka
thank you
I applaud your efforts to educate those of us who have been "othered" over the past several years; it does feel lonely, until you find like-minded and open-minded folks like yourself and can call them friends.
Keep up the great work, and as my dad used to advise, don't let the bastards get you down!
