Meanwhile we hear from Edward Dowd, as interviewed by Dr. Naomi Wolf on how right we all were with respect to the Pfizer mega fraud and the money involved. Dr. Naomi Wolf writes on her platform called The Daily Clout (I almost wrote The Daily Clot!) an excellent essay from on bravery. We need it now and from everyone. She calls out affluent men who are former colleagues or friends who text her bravos for her bravery and excuses for their cowardice. Heather and Bret have been relentlessly fearless of course. Maybe they can engage in a mutual interview with Dr. Wolf:

This is one of the more cogent pieces I have read in some time. It's like Herbie Hancock exclaiming 'we were on. the music was tight' Your writing clears through the refuse so expediently. I have just signed to become a paying subscriber with you here. I wrote a short piece here that takes a slightly spiritual but ultimately grounded view of the need for our own self-governance. https://www.lisafitzhugh.me/writing/2022/2/22/our-adventure-on-the-high-seas

Thank you Heather.

Thank you for the kind words. We need a range of approaches--slightly spiritual, not spiritual, intensely spiritual. Each will speak to people differently, and perhaps to different people. What we don't need are dogmatic, or ideological, or authoritarian approaches.

I echo all I see here. Thank you, for your writing and thinking .

I am resigning a position today with an organization that I have loved to work for. On Monday they made public a new policy requiring all future hires to show proof of vaccination and booster in order to be eligible for employment. I’m sad to leave but have no reservations, the policy is simply not something I can stand behind. It’s time for me to leave, while none of it makes sense I can come here, read this, and know that I am not crazy. Again, thank you. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

It is truly extraordinary--not in a good way--to hear of brand new vaccine (and booster!) mandates being implemented now. Increasingly, it seems that the mandates are coming from private businesses, rather than from governments, like the mandate machine was set in motion by the powers-that-be, and now citizens and they businesses that they run are doing the dirty work for the government. We need all be watching, and recording, and remembering. This is what it looks like when a population falls in line. I am so sorry that an organization that you have loved to work for has fallen prey to a dishonorable and dangerous ideology (I've had rather a similar experience, from what seems like a different time in history). Know this: you are not crazy.

Heather, you are such an illuminated light for us mere mortals. I don't know any scientists in my real life, not real ones. I know men and women of medicine, but I see none even willing to hold dialogue that includes questioning the narrative. The dynamic duo of your brain and your talent, and of course the dynamic duo of H&B, is such a hopeful thing to witness. Thank you for so generously sharing with us all. This piece was, as usual, brilliant.

Oh Tara, you are an illuminated light, and indeed, seem more than mortal in your writings. I can well assure you that I am entirely of this world. I am so grateful that you are touched by what I write here, and even more grateful that we found each other.

Without your persistent voice of reason reminding us of our obligation to understand the basis of what we accept as factual, and not simply ingest whatever contrived message is being pummeled down our collective throats, I certainly would have fallen into an irretrievable funk of isolation. The incongruities of the ongoing narrative (pick a day, any day) were ripe for being called into question, made worse with so many friends, colleagues, and family readily falling prey to it. Some will continue holding onto their illogic, perhaps as an ego salvaging mechanism, long after the incontrovertible truth is revealed. This is a turning point in human history. We can evolve or fall back into a new dark age. Plus ca change.

True classical education teaches us and our children to question everything. The question and answer model is essential to free thinkers. Always ask yourself why was what my dad a tradesman told me. This became important for me to develop my critical thinking skills. A liberal arts education reinforces this and a healthy dose of exposure to the classics opens the mind. Latin is not a dead language. But those who tell you that want to keep you down. Learn Latin and rarely use a dictionary. Latin is studied by those at the top hell bent on subjugation of the rest of society. There is an excellent film about Pasteur made in the 30’s. Enlightening stuff. Thank you for your hard work as always.

A google search just now for “A Letter to Andrew Hill” yields this interesting caveat:

"It looks like these results are changing quickly

If this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for reliable sources to publish information"

So just be patient now and wait for those reliable sources...

(Very slightly to their credit there were links to the movie--but obviously not "reliable".)

DuckDuckGo had no such caveat.

The most important issue of our time.

Are the arrogant people certain that they are right, or are they certain that they can convince enough people that they are right? I think this depends on how high up the hierarchies we look.

I am listening to your Darkhorse video #118 on YouTube. When the BLM riots were taking place I found them appalling and didn't understand why the police were ordered to stand down and allow the wholesale destruction of city centers. (This was not allowed in Florida. We had peaceful demonstrations but the rioting was stopped quickly with overwhelming police and National Guard presence. Thank you Gov. DeSantis).

What I did understand was the anger, the rage of many of the participants. They are right to be angry. They have been pandered to by the public school system. The curriculum has been watered down to the point it teaches nothing but resentment. Class and learning time is wasted on social engineering experiments. These young people have been deprived of the knowledge they need to be competent adults. They don't have the skills to navigate the world. Their reading, writing, math and thinking skills are all underdeveloped to the point of nearly complete illiteracy. Yes they should be angry. The travesty is they don't know where the focus of their anger should be. The school system and the political class has directed their anger against the "other." They have been manipulated and guided to believe it is whitey who has prevented them from a middle class life. They are encouraged to reject "acting white" by not getting up in the morning, not showing up to work on time, etc. This prevents them from getting a blue collar job where proficiency in reading and writing are not critical but good work habits and reliability are. This is such an evil game plan that it takes my breath away. Your discussion of Orwell's book and socialism brings all this to mind.

Hi Heather great article love all the great work you have been doing over the last 2 years. I was wondering why you chose Pasteur as your example. I assume you are aware of the whole Pasteur v Bechamp Germ THEORY v terrain and how apparently Pasteur on his death bed claimed he was mistaken about germs and it's about the terrain, and the whole Andy Kaufman Tom Cowan thing anyway was just wondering about your thoughts on the whole matter?

Regards

Andrew

"And yet before any human had the thought, it was nevertheless true." To question this is to question 'reality' which is what science is meant to do, else it become a religion too. "...nevertheless (hopefully) closer to the truth" works better for me.

Reading on though there is this qualifier: “Orthodoxy is effective at times of stasis, when what is to come looks very much like what came before, and when what we believe to be true is in fact true.“ Facts are only facts in times of stasis is a nod to what it is to be human, an essential factor in this equation :-).
