Thank you, Dr. Malone. As depressing as it is, people need to know the depths of the depravity we're up against. That Congress has shown itself unconcerned about any of these issues is mind-boggling.

Once in a while I find myself envying the blissfully ignorant people around me who are planning their next trip to Disney or the beach; or, in my neck of the woods, gearing up for Mardi Gras parades. I can’t believe so many are still asleep. The truth is a heavy burden to bear. Thank God for all of you truth warriors who share this burden.

In many ways knowing the truth is a heavy burden to bear.

As Dr. Malone says, the truth can defend itself. But only to those who seek it.

Yes, and some aren't even aware that they should be seeking. They need us to take the truth to them. On purpose. We need to be bold.

I volunteer in our children’s ministry at church. Last October a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds told me they had watched Hocus Pocus 2 and I was pretty bowled over. And kind of disappointed. Just wrong on so many levels for little minds to be exposed to that.

I think in those cases it's mostly an ignorance of what's true about innocence and its opposite than an ignorance about Disney.

Yes, it's actually the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), and there was a chilling documentary about a pedophile member's life "on the hunt" for pubescent boys to seduce-- it is called Chickenhawk (1994 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygrd29-_O3I&t=1612s). Many prominent figures, including Alan Ginsburg, were members of NAMBLA. The effort to normalize sex with minors has been ongoing for decades, "in the shadows"...

Cultural decline is a painfully tough nut to crack. As a late-era Boomer blessed with ski trips, charcuterie boards, and push-button everything, I was convicted the first time I heard that “hard men make good times; good times make soft men; soft men make hard times.” The hard men and women of the Greatest Generation suffered literal horror and deprivation to defeat Nazis and Imperialists and then built history’s most prosperous, God-fearing nation. Good times! Naturally, my generation grew soft and failed to be vigilant. “Such people are not serving our Lord Christ but their own appetites.” Selfishly and “by smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the minds of naive people” to pad pampered lifestyles (Romans 16:18). [Is God’s Word spot on or what?] Lord, keep raising up Joshuas and Calebs among us. Teach us to be loving but tough and aggressive in the face of deceivers. Prompt us once again to seek You first so that what pleases You may be restored to our nation (Matthew 6:33).

No doubt about it. But on the other hand, where much is given, much is required. Or so I believe. And apart from the authority they have, that we don't, presumably the average IQ of the members of congress is higher than the average IQ of the public. Not to mention that a single vote has virtually no significance on an election as compared to a single vote on a bill. That makes Congress more evil by far, IMO.

AFAICT There are a multitude of studied factors that create the go along submission to evil...

From this article ... (One can substitude COVID and COVID policy for Climate Change, and it works just the same, indeed, it is perpetuated by the same people.) ...

" Beyond political power objectives, the disparate factors which influence many to accept CAGW are well studied social phenomena such as; personal wealth, and Institutional wealth. Researchers in many fields know that funding is available for their department if they can attach theoretical CAGW harm to a paper. (There is hundreds of billions of dollars a year available for research and industry) As often quoted Upton Sinclair said “'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Other known and studied bias factors are peer pressure, social and professional shadow-banning, confirmation bias, noble cause corruption, misuse of the precautionary principle, and effective propaganda of repeated and false warnings of doom by many CAGW proponents.

“The terrible truths of these experiments in human compliance and propensity to be beastly stand testament to the nature of the problem.”

milgram showed us how people will harm people if pressured by authority

asch showed us that people will ignore their own senses and perceptions when pressured by peer group

stanford showed us how easily humans can be egged into abuse of power”

As the world grows ever smaller via human technology, human systems and corporations grow ever more global. It is logical therefore that systems of human corruption can and would also became more pervasive and global in scale. The merge of One world Government and international business is not to be trusted. These people endlessly proclaim how they are doing this for the good of the world.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good, will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven, yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very “kindness” stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease, is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

Fact is -- someone once said “the love of money is the root of ALL evil.” That’s far reaching.

Expand full comment

Well, I think it's more accurate to say that fear, which is the opposite of love, unchecked, is the root of all evil, and it's probably also accurate to say that fear, unchecked, leads to a love of control which is also the root of all evil. Again, it seems to me that it's a mistake to believe that it's just the love of money that is the root of evil. There are many people who earn lots of money while remaining highly ethical, not the least bit evil.

Yes, I donated to him, too. But one person isn't going to save us. The fact that the rest of the RINO's in the Senate pay him no mind speaks volumes. If the RINO's will at least refuse to ratify the WHO pandemic treaty, that might buy us some time.

I hope I was misinformed, but I recently read that the WHO pandemic treaty will be activated for all nations "signed up" with them so long as 2/3 of those nations agree to the treaty. That in turns mean the US would need to "leave" the WHO as Trump did. But that won't happen. So if I was properly informed, this is REALLY bad news.

I do agree, my understanding is sometimes in question however. I only mean that it is somewhat ok to love the money earned, or generously given that allows one to feed their child, or save a dear one's life with a necessary to live surgery. It is not ok to love however that which creates addition to bad habits, tempts one to control another, makes one feel self sufficient, a power unto one's self.

Perhaps a good distinction is to love the gift giver behind the gift that allows one to feed their family, to maintain health, to help others in need. To know that the kind spirit that brings such gifts is from the only power, the only source of love, which His children can only , through grace reflect.

Dr. Malone, You are among the most ethical and capable scientist in the world today. I am winding down a long career in technology during which time I felt more science and technology, with better controls (such as the FDA or EPA etc.) is the answer. I no longer think so. The Hippocratic oath is widely ignored by physicians, so I doubt it would help creating one for scientist in general. I now think there is too much desire to be God, and too little recognition that we have a God, and I have accepted him as the answer for me and all who believe. The "genie" (Satan) is so far out of the bottle that ethics are scoffed at, and they lie without remorse. I appreciate your efforts to fight against it, but it does not seem better, more ethical science wins the day over scientism. I will continue to challenge those who I encounter, but it feels like whack-a-mole in a Godless society/world.

A few of the left leaning friends are starting to wake up to the full horror of what organizations like the WEF have planned for them. The Covid injections have done a good job of sorting them out. Those who declined the shots at the beginning woke up in a really big hurry and did a 180 degree political U-turn and those who've now read enough about side effects ( or experienced them) and will never take another shot are in the process of being red-pilled and changing camps. Those are the most interesting ones to watch. Like a big fish with the hook in its mouth, they try with all their might not to see everything else that's going on and it takes quite a while to bring them around, but they eventually get there. They have no choice. Once you've admitted one aspect of the horror, you can't screen out everything else that comes with it. We certainly live in interesting times and we can't complain of boredom!!

The fact there is no Hippocratic Oath for scientists is a good reason to avoid physicians who call themselves scientists like the plague. As to the role scientists should play in critiquing their work I find that a tricky subject. Nuclear energy serves as a model.

What ever happened to the protection of minor children? Why can’t these people who think they are gods let the child mature naturally on their own time? Once they become of age if the somewhat mature brained child wants to move ahead with these surgeries fine. Other than that it should be outlawed. Leave children alone for god’s sake. J.Goodrich

I think what we are seeing is more and more young people are struggling to reach adulthood, and their anxiety and depression is being preyed on by transgender activists, who convince them that they need to change their sex to get the benefits of HRT. My experience tells me that the body dysphoria and depression are driven by hormone deficiency, and do respond to hormone treatment. So parents who dont want transgender outcome for their child, should be choosing Hormone treatment that facilitates boys into men and girls into women. These individuals can feel very maladjusted trying to get through adolescence with insufficient hormones, and if support is needed, adolescents need to be able to turn to their parents for conventional HRT support. Getting testosterone can help both boys and girls feel more normal. I have 20 years experience taking hormones, and can say that the benefits of hormones is poorly understood.

“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; . . ..’ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:26-27 (NKJV). The truest, most complete, and most accurate view of all the things that are going on in our world today, and going on at an accelerating rate and requiring a scale of planning and coordination not possible with mere mortals, is that the god of this world is continuing his eons old campaign of jealousy and hatred of God. At the vanguard of this campaign is the disfiguring facial self-mutilation that destroys and perverts our likeness to God along with the full-scale attack on God’s binary creation of man as male and female. God’s most severe judgment is reserved for those who “cause one of these little ones to stumble.” So, this world’s god has taken aim at children: confusing, degrading, mutilating them, and instilling in them a hatred for all things good, right, and true; for God Himself.

"The concept of gender fluidity has (IS) being pushed on societies and nations across the world in a harmonized and coordinated fashion"...add to THAT grisly reality you cite, Dr. Malone, that young - totally susceptible CHILDREN are being deliberately brainwashed - on a GLOBAL scale - primarily via the (global) EDUCATION "establishment" in seemingly some subset of 'Mass-formation' syndrome?

Already, many state governments (legislatures) within the U.S.S.A. are falling all over themselves to enact new laws and regulations to "protect" fluid gender and trans-identity. No doubt the SCOTUS will soon chime in and like the Roe decision before it, will sanctify this new form of insanity that is literally engulfing the world.

And, yes, the genie (SATAN) is definitely out-of-the-bottle on this score, for it will be all but impossible to stop this "new" reality of "evolving" humanity from becoming a new 'norm' that will - as 'they' mature, demand inclusion throughout societal structures to spread their unique form of 'life' into ever facet of society and culture.

How long before the 1st "trans" mayors, governors, members of the House, Senate, SCOTOS, and POTUS occurs in the name of fairness, and equality? Oh, and of course the "Joint Chiefs of Staff" will need to be inclusive in this matter...and the 'heads' of every agency, bureau and department as well.

Oppenheimer.. read what he said: I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds....Oppenheimer, seemingly, was never able to achieve peace. "In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humour, no overstatements can quite extinguish," he said two years after the Trinity explosion, "the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.” When sin enters into science, then we have corruption, we have Satan the father of lies... we have distraction and misdirection... Oppenheimer seemed not to believe that the soul is eternal.... “The fourth argument in the Baghta Gita is really that death is an illusion, that we're not born and we don't die. That's the philosophy really: that there's only one consciousness and that the whole of creation is a wonderful play.” Oppenheimer, never believed that the people killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki would not suffer. While he carried out his work dutifully, he could never accept that this could liberate him from the cycle of life and death OR his RESPONSIBILITY for it...

History is cyclical. God scattered the people of the world (and confused their language) because they sought to elevate themselves to the height of God (Tower of Babel). Here once again, the self-anointed 'demi-gods' of science, military and the obscenely wealthy seek to re-consolidate and 'managed' the 'surplus' population to restore it a 'garden of eden' of their own design and for their enjoyment. The enemy of our souls is a liar and also a deceiver, he whispers in their ears, 'You can be like the most high.' 'You can control reproduction, tinker with genetics, psychologically manipulate people, weather, wealth, food systems... eventually life or death over the masses...' and some have found the desire to be elevated to this level too enticing.
