What we are dealing with is the greatest betrayal of trust that has ever happened in human history. Short overview of what happened, how it happened, and possible directions where things might progress into.

Beautifully and thoughtfully written, as well as stating the facts as they are. Thank you for this today. Let’s move forward in optimism and create the change that is needed. Karma will take care of the rest.

This is such a great piece. I particularly like the point about how environmentalism needs to shift from climate change to reduction in environmental toxins.

JLW, I am having trouble finding the evidence that herd immunity is a valid thing. I learned about the concept in school and frankly, just accepted it. Is it theoretical or can you point me to studies that validate it? Thanks for all you do!

Excellent essay and I found Plan B to be very specific. My hope is, once term limits are enacted and our elections are secured, that your plan can be implemented. Thank you.

Excellent piece. What to do about media, how to get rid of fact checkers, how to prevent future attempts (assuming this one truly fails) of a great reset -type takeover? And how to help the gullible majority see what was done to them?

Plan B is excellent! And if we can ever regain control of the federal government, this is but one of many arenas where unelected/corrupt bureaucrats have merged with corporations to "rule" this Republic. We need to rid the federal government of useless departments/bureaucracies and decentralize the remainder in the manner you have proposed in order to stop funding our own demise. Unfortunately, at this juncture, we control nothing.

BTW, why was Spontaneous Abortions and Policy on COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines — Nov. 2021 withdrawn?

It's good to see somebody making a constructive proposal. I'd be happier if somehow a jury -- a random selection of citizens -- could be involved in funding decisions.

Typos: You reference "Shaw and Oller, 2020" but I do not see them in the listed references.

"over 54% of children have a chronic illness" I could believe it but a citation would be helpful.

"United State of America" probably should be plural.

Thanks for the excellent description of where we stand, in your Plan B article. I do wonder why you chose to suggest direct funding from the Senate, as (1) constitutionally they do not have control over the national budget at all; but perhaps you meant to say that decisions about funding would be made by the Senate, and (2) to me, because of the disastrous 17th Amendment passed in the regressive "Progressive" Era about 100 years ago, Senators are more captured by large donors, due to the expense of gaining a majority of votes over a whole state, than are, say, the House of Representatives (though since the number of Representatives has remained static for too long they too represent too many people and are more distant than originally conceived by the Framers) or state legislatures (which are much closer to the people). All that would have to be accomplished in your plan as written is to capture a majority of Senators, and that wouldn't be hard at all, I'm sad to say. If you want true independence and redundancy, that's what states and state-level self-governance are for. There's no power delegated to the federal government by the states in the Constitution to do anything about public health, or health at all, and if anything we should be trying to get back to the original design of limited federal powers, and those directed to externals, such as international relations/trade and war.

Exactly, no peer review of the fact checkers or transparency.

The Ontario vaccination data is even worse than it seems: there is an additional category titled “vaccine unknown” where the person is vaccinated but due to the database missing the name of the product used, they are not counted in the vaccinated group. Instead they are simply left out of the pie charts you use in the article.

This category exists in positive cases, hospital admissions, icu admissions, and likely in other categories.

We will need a Great Reset of the MEDIA, and that might be very tricky to accomplish.
