BTW, At my doc and we are talking about the masking/ vaccines coming back and he's a young guy, 30's maybe, very smart and says he left the hospital system he worked at because he refused to get the jab. Then he tells me his 23 year old female cousin, an athlete, who was just made to get the booster, died. They are waiting for the autopsy, suspected myocarditis. This is so infuriating and sad.

Lucky you. There are 2 doctors at the practice I attend, and both are fully masked at all times. Although they’ve been pretty good about not pushing the jabs, so far at least. Sad about your doctor’s cousin.

This doctor is one of a kind, for sure! I can talk to him about anything and he's open-minded about it. He agrees that most doctors are ignorant and are hurting their patients.

It’s amusing how so many folks need to make the Trump disclaimer just to take a timid stand against the obvious corruption of our entire American way of life. No congratulations for you, sorry. I don’t care if Trump is a (fill-in the blank) he’s led the charge against our rancid establishment. The hatred he engenders is the proof he’s doing something real. He’s shown the oligarchs that actually run things around here that he isn’t playing their game, and he’s not going away. That takes courage and conviction. And that’s why he gets my (likely useless) vote.

Let's not go overboard. He pushed the whole horrendous "COVID" nightmare, from the declaration of emergency to the "vaccination" holocaust---which he's continued to defend. Whatever happens to or with him next, his name will be inscribed forever in the halls of infamy alone with Gates', Fauci's, Biden's and the rest of them.

Has he learned from that?

I'm in CHINADA so we have bigger problems but I like most of what Trump did as he fought the world.

I disagree strongly putting him in with those SATANIC MURDERING MFERS you mention.

Interesting how you and others forget he spoke strongly of alternative therapies for many weeks when the PLANDEMIC started.

Ask Dr Atlas and Dr Paul Alexander who have told those stories the last few years.

i've just watched The Soviet Story documentary on youtube. It's difficult to find as the russians wanted it banned and even the copy i watched doesn't have english subtitles for the russian speaking parts but you get the gist...it's terrifying...the commie soviets were in complete collusion with the nazis...both born from the same ideologies(the nazis tried to hide this collusion later on)...and then you realise how the commies have infiltrated all parts of westen societies today...i'm starting to see protestors wearing the red star badge in ireland and even the irish communist party are advertising themselves more and more at the pro-immigrant rallies...if they're not stopped, there are more mass genocides in all our futures...i recommend everyone find this documentary and watch it.

Because he was taking advice from a shitload of corrupt agencies and "medical professionals."

Well, my stance on him has definitely changed since 2020, after I learned about a plethora of deceptions. Prior to that, I will admit, I succumbed somewhat to TDS due to my entourage (but not quite so rabid) but I still don’t believe he’s our saviour. I’m not timid about saying he’s not the monster everyone in SF says he is either. And saying that gets you cancelled here by the wokies.

Expand full comment

I didn’t get TDS because I had already had BDS which is Bush derangement syndrome because democrats did the same thing to him. But after Obama won and continued most of Bush's policies and especially his wars and the base not only shut up screaming about it, but they actually supported everything Obama did.

Just like they were once anti war they are fully behind Ukraine and wants the military industrial complex to spend even more money. On top of that they are now pro censorship and pro big pharma.

I didn’t like Trump much, but I definitely despised Obama and I can see this witch hunt against Trump for what it is. But again the dem base is supporting Biden’s doing everything that they were against Trump doing. Hard to believe that anyone can be worse than Obama and yet Biden has surpassed him !

Mostly agree, except I think it's an insult to Trump to parallel his treatment with Bush's, by the Democrats or anyone else. The Democrats strongly SUPPORTED Bush's attack on Iraq, particularly BIDEN. And they TOTALLY supported his attack on Afghanistan (with ONE negative vote in the House). Post-presidency, Michelle Obama and Ellen flirted with him. The Clintons buddy-buddied with him. No comparison in "derangement syndromes" between Bush and Trump; Trump's seems unprecedented.

There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES!

I'm not sure it's over. One thing that I find often missing in discussions about what's happening with the indictments of Trump, is a review of Trump himself. I think he is vastly and grossly underestimated by many Americans - courtesy of constant msm defamations/outright lies about him from 2015 forward to now. Many think he's got a low IQ, and is a "narcissist". I have come to understand the former is a huge lie, and the latter is armchair BS from the comfortable classes. (Not to mention 140+ psych "pros" who declared he was - omg, that alone told me a lot) I do not believe Mr Trump would continue to put himself out to come back to the presidency on sheer ego alone. I believe his books reveal a lot about him, how he thinks, and what a strategist he is. This man is facing a death penalty from these indictments, and Tucker was not wrong in suggesting he might be concerned about assassination. My point is, Trump would not place himself in a lose-lose situation, he would not be so calm and so determined, if he didn't see a clear, winning path back to the presidency. In fact, somehow, he believes it's a certainty and he clearly works very hard to make it manifest. I do notice that his words and actions are allowing for, and in many cases, directly leading to the exposing most all the creepy-crawlies, everywhere in government, corporations (big pharma included), msm, political parties and globalists. And WOW, when would we ever see a candidate such as RJK Jr emerge on the scene??!!! This man speaks so directly, and clearly, and in-depth about so much, it's just unheard of, and a real cause for hope and blessing for all of us. I don't know what the outcome is, I am not one of the "grabbing my popcorn" persons. I just know that with Elon opening Twitter up, with the indefatigable efforts of so many, in so many fields/areas of life, that it's not over yet.

Thanks for this, and for all you and your crew share with us. Looking forward to the good long listen.

Trump's unwillingness to change - even slightly - his position on Operation Warp Speed and his insistence (as recent as 2022) that the injections are 'safe and effective', makes him - IMO - complicit in the ongoing medical genocide as any of the other players (conservative and liberal).

All that said, this 'legal' process is insane, unjust, precedent-setting in the worst ways, and seems yet another / even bigger distraction from what really matters. As humans of all ages die and take ill in truly catastrophic numbers, this is what the US government is up to - and what much of the US population is giving their attention to. Farcical.

YES. They started well BEFORE McCarthy came to power, and continued after his collapse. And it was a legal drive primarily against the working class, as well as government workers. Countless lives were ruined, families destroyed. What happened in the movie business was the least of it.

You don't know what you're talking about. That episode was a civic and cultural catastrophe, which scared the entire population into passive silence. It also indirectly caused the key assassinations in the Sixties, because of which we're where we are today.

Some "dog and pony show." Do you know many people killed themselves because of it?

Expand full comment

Disagree but will concede I don’t know a lot about the era. Would dispute how many were scared into silence. The culture has depth and resilience we don’t see today. The Beats for example. Jazz for another. Literature and non fiction both pretty robust. Especially compared to now. The movies mainly got the hit. And yes the mainstream culture was repressive but subcultures thrived. Not at all like today. Also dispute that there is a line to draw between the clumsy pushback against communism and the assassinations of the 60s. That’s a tapestry that was woven from our own power hungry bureaucrats, many many of whom had no identification with the anti communist right. Lots of nominally democratic bureaucrats wanted that war In Vietnam. Sure they used anti communism as an excuse but I was really a contest of power and who got to dominate the post WWII world. Look at now - the Russians aren’t communist anymore but we are still going after them.
