Anyone advocating for the coerced injection of minor children with this experimental covid shot is a prophet of moloch

He says he has no remedies, but his “green” economy must include making education “digital,” as if it hasn’t already gone too far in that direction, ask almost any parent about that. An “education” administered and monitored by “stakeholders” equals indoctrination.

As Gerard Celente says. “If all else

Fails, they take you to war.” While I am sorry for all the nonsense you have suffered, I am glad that you reach a broad audience - including me

Thank you for the sage counsel—we must avoid letting our emotions rule the day. My neighbor who is blindly along and who may even see me negatively, is not my enemy.

Bill Gates is "sad". Omicron is proving to be a more effective "vaxxine" than his. This is how all pandemics end. It is called herd immunity, according to the old definition. Moderna is going to zero, and Pfizer is going to be sued for securities fraud. Wall Street and life insurance companies are mad as hell.

poor Bill ... he's sad less humans died and now fewer will be innoculated with his bioweapon.

Best thing I have read in a long while

Fear is the deadliest emotion. Neither greed nor anger would be likely to push you to kill someone. But fear would do it instantly. If you were convinced someone was coming to kill you and your family and you only had a second to defend yourself, you wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Dr Miller, I've been working through your and Dr Michael Rechtenwald's writings. I have a BS in biochem. and was in grad school doing molec bio work for a time; then I went to med school. Even though I dont have the depth or breadth of knowledge in areas like you or Dr Rechtenwald, I did minor in philo at Binghamton and read enough Nietzsche and Kant and others to appreciate the discipline. I never had any epiphany about the nature of the left or the post-modernists and the critical theorists bc I was a libertarian since I was a kid. I studied quite a bit of economics and my views on Marx were informed by Ludwig Mises and those like him.

“Ecstatic enthusiasts see in Marx one of the heroic figures of world history, and class him among the great economists and sociologists, even among the most eminent philosophers. The unbiased observer looks on Karl Marx's work with different eyes. […] the later volumes of Das Kapital, from the day they were published, were quite out of touch with modern science. […] As a scientific writer Marx was dry, pedantic, and heavy. The gift of expressing himself intelligibly had been denied him. In his political writings alone does he produce powerful effects, and these only by means of dazzling antitheses and of phrases which are easy to remember, sentences which by play of words hide their own vacuity.” Mises -Socialism

As a science nerd, the thing I thought was the most fascinating and joyous thing about our ability to reason as human beings was our capacity to discover and describe the mysteries of how the natural world works! Isnt this the cardinal mystery of life? What inspires our reverence for life? Our ability to reason and at the same time appreciate the tragic dimension of human life.

It always seemed to me that those in academia who denigrated these pursuits were just jealous or resentful. It is enlightening to read "Springtime for snowflakes" and hear how Dr Rechtenwald changed his mind. Some of the best advice from my father and other role models in my formative years was "worry about yourself first", "leave other people alone",

It seems like these social justice people are insufferable authoritarian busybodies.

"Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil." psalm 37:8

Dr Miller in my reading about your and Rechtenwald's descriptions of the academic left have you seen any acknowledgment from these people about the fact that their endeavors are supported by tuition from students which come from the productive savings of the capitalist economy and from the government guaranteed student loans which are basically the private banking system using the credit of the private productive "capitalist" class in the economy. Where do they think the public university system gets the resources to support all that physical infrastructure? All those salaries from fairy dust? Where do they think the grants come from? The stipends?

It seems that these people are shamefully ungrateful and entitled. They are parasites. If all government funding for primary and secondary and higher education was withdrawn and the education system was PRIVATE as it should be and students were sponsored by private charity and only the most motivated and able students were able to qualify for private grants or loans, NONE of this critical theory nonsense would exist in American academia. IS there any acknowledgement or awareness of this in the scholarly community. Or in your experience are most of these people clueless entitled ideologues?

Maybe these people should go back to reading the classics like King Lear"

Act 4, scene 6 King Lear

LEAR: What, art mad? A man may see how the world goes with no eyes.

Look with thine ears. See how yond justice rails upon yond

simple thief. Hark in thine ear. Change places and, handy-dandy,

which is the justice, which is the thief? Thou hast seen a

farmer's dog bark at a beggar?

And the creature run from the cur? There thou mightst behold

the great image of authority: a dog's obeyed in office.

Thou rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!

Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back.

Thou hotly lusts to use her in that kind

For which thou whip'st her. The usurer hangs the cozener.

Through tatter'd clothes small vices do appear;

Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,

And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks;

Arm it in rags, a pygmy's straw does pierce it.

None does offend, none- I say none! I'll able 'em.

Take that of me, my friend, who have the power

To seal th' accuser's lips. Get thee glass eyes

And, like a scurvy politician, seem

To see the things thou dost not. Now, now, now, now!

Pull off my boots. Harder, harder! So.

NYU is not part of the public university system; and the infrastructure—all those hideous new buildings always popping up—are financed by student debt. We made a major issue of that problem when we fought NYU's real estate expansion plan for Greenwich Village, from c. 2012-2015.

Interesting, just as the Corona narrative unravels Putin, the WEF graduate steps in to supply the next fear drama and at the same time finally ‘clears up’ his open soar in Ukraine. Win, win... And a huge win to the military industrial complex. No Peace party in sight. The German parliament now in session sounds like a soccer match. Greetings from Germany in full righteous wreath...

I am curious to see what use Putin makes of the alleged US DOD biolabs in Ukraine.
