For those of us who value liberty, these past two years have been a bad dream. It seems like we fell asleep in early 2020 and woke up in 1984! They said that if we just put on a mask and stayed home for two weeks, we’d be able to return to normal. The two weeks came and went and instead of going back to normal they added more restrictions. These past two years have been a story of moving goalposts and “experts” like Anthony Fauci constantly contradicting themselves.

Early on, in April 2020, I warned in an article titled “Next in Coronavirus Tyranny: Forced Vaccinations and ‘Digital Certificates,’” that the ultimate goal of the “two weeks” crowd was to force vaccines and a “vaccine passport” on Americans.

My concerns were at the time written off as just another conspiracy theory. But less than a year later that “conspiracy theory” became conspiracy fact. I am not happy about being right on this. The introduction of vaccine passports was from the beginning my worst nightmare. The idea that you must “show your papers” to participate in society is a concept that is totally opposed to a free society. It is inhuman.

The history of these past two years is that the worst ideas have been adopted by force and anyone questioning those ideas has been suppressed by force. We learned recently that Dr. Fauci and the director of the National Institutes of Health conspired to deliver a “quick and devastating take-down” of the esteemed scientists behind the Great Barrington Declaration. Were the Great Barrington scientists horribly wrong? Fauci and his boss could not have cared less. They were not interested in a debate. Their only goal was to shut down any opposing views. That’s not science. It’s ideology, politics, and probably self-interest.

As my son Rand said on a recent Liberty Report, thousands of people died because Fauci refused to consider the proven effectiveness of natural immunity against Covid. He and his colleagues were determined to deny any outpatient treatments and insisted on vaccines as the only way out. Now, as we see the vaccines performing so poorly versus natural immunity, their whole strategy lies in tatters. Will anyone apologize to the relatives of all those who died?

When we look back at these two years, hopefully one thing that will be remembered is how the institutions of state power have all lost their credibility. They have been exposed as frauds and worse.

In a recent massively popular Joe Rogan interview with Dr. Robert Malone – inventor of the mRNA technology that is the backbone of the “vaccines” – Malone discusses the disturbing concept of mass formation psychosis, where fear and manipulation are used to drive a society mad in the service of a group of elites with an agenda. We saw it in Germany in the 1930s.

As Charles Mackay wrote in the 19th century about the madness of crowds, humans go insane in groups but recover one at a time.

What is to be done to defeat tyranny in 2022? We must continue to tell the truth. The truth is winning and the liars are losing. One by one their lies are being exposed. But it is not an easy task. Each of us in 2022 can do a little something to promote truth. Do what you can. The rewards are great!

    I understand that Dr. Paul and Dr. Malone are of an older school, but the idea that everything bad in history can be linked to Nazis is the major contributing factor to why the COVID farce, among other atrocities, has been allowed to continue. There’s far more, very well-documented, evidence of socially engineering mass psychosis in revolutionary communist societies than in the 3rd Reich. The inability of Americans, and Westerners broadly, to notice who is attempting to manipulate their minds and for what specific purpose is why we keep falling victim to it.

    Ron Paul has been telling the truth for a long time. And he was right about this covid scam from day one. We really lost out when he lost his run for president. He might have been able to save the republic.

  3. SafeNow says:

    Malone, a virologist, should not opine on mass psychosis. Psychologists with a special expertise in social psychology would be qualified to do so. Throughout the pandemic, epidemiologists, pulmonologists, and their like have weighed-in on the behavioral aspects. (A psychiatrist or psychologist would never dream of opining on infectious diseases.) As the old saying goes, you can give me a dental drill, but that doesn’t make me a dentist.

    The German people were fighting against a communist takeover.

    Bolsheviks slaughtered MILLIONS of innocent Russians and Germany was next.

    Communists murdered over 100 million people in the 20th century…….the Nazis were Boy Scouts in comparison.

    I cringe whenever I hear crap about notsees and Hitler and the evilGermanswhokilledsixmillionjews.

    The German people didn’t simply get out of bed one day and for no reason at all…….

    Covid is communism but most people simply haven’t figured it out yet.

    You are right about social engineering in closed societies.
    The reason the Nazis are used is when the Reich collapsed, all the documentation of the activities there became exposed. Communist societies have had no such event.

  6. I admire Dr. Paul but unfortunately he’s trapped within the same worthless, evil uniparty as the rest of us. At least Corruptocrats are honest about being anti-freedom; they’re sworn enemies but “our” side composed of false allies is way worse.

    It appears you are promoting Democracy…that loser form of government…that has always failed in the past….that form of government that allows idiots to vote.

    Speaking of getting the truth out, on the back of a cheep 10€ jacket I painted the words “Pandemica das Mentes” (pandemic of lies), figuring it may be the new mode/”new black”.

    Out shopping yestetday it (and I) got a warm smiling reception from two very helpful staff in the hardware store, who agreed with the message and seemed to like the idea too.

    As for the security guard at the supermarket who asked me to pull my mask over my nose, he was so grateful that I simply showed him the back of my jacket before doing as he asked. I explained I didn’t want to cause him any problems, just to get my message across. He really couldn’t thank me enough!

    Fabric paint is cheep and surprisingly empowering!

    Best wishes,
    Kali.

    and?….

    global domination?

    every Jew a lampshade and soap?

    what exactly were these nefarious ‘activities’ that became documented and ‘exposed’?

    killing commies?

    I wish they’d done a lot more of that!

    we should have helped them to kill commies, who were the real monsters

  10. Nothing has changed the scum media are still leading the narrative, in Australia they are now trying to put the idea in the Sheeple heads to maybe boo Djokovic at the Australian open.

    Don’t forget WHO your enemy is, the scum propaganda media who churn out their lies like sausages every minute of every day, keep the attack focused on them.

    Those responsible for assisting in destroying America’s former liberty (such as Ron Paul) can never help in regaining America’s liberty!

    Liberty was officially lost in America when the 1787 cadre of Enlightenment and Masonic theistic rationalists (aka constitutional framers and founding fathers) made liberty a goal (almost a God as in France) instead of corollary of implementing the Bible’s perfect law of liberty (Psalm 19:7-11, 119:44-45, James 2:12, etc.) as the law of the land.

    “[B]ecause they have … trespassed against my law … they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind….” (Hosea 8:1, 7)

    Today’s America is reaping the inevitable ever-intensifying whirlwind resulting from the wind sown by the constitutional framers and fanned by today’s hoodwinked Christians and patriots who have been bamboozled into believing today’s whirlwind can be dissipated by appealing to the wind responsible for spawning the whirlwind.

    For more, see Chapter 3 “The Preamble: We the People vs. Yahweh” of free online book “Bible Law vs, the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at https://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/biblelaw-constitutionalism-pt3.html

  13. Ron Paul: “What is to be done to defeat tyranny in 2022? We must continue to tell the truth.”

    Telling the truth has little effect without action. Action would involve dismantling the technological system, since that is what gives gov’t the power to mandate things like vaccine passports. Simply passing a law against that won’t be enough, since if this pandemic were a real one instead a protracted exercise in medical theater and hysteria — a real plague with people dropping dead in the streets, carts rolling past every window each morning with the cry “Bring out your dead!”, and corpses being bulldozed into mass graves, then there’d arguably actually be a need for vaccines and vaccine passports, lockdowns, masking, social distancing, etc. Most of the objections to such measures center on the notion that the current response is needlessly exaggerated, which is true. But if there were real danger it might be more reasonable.

    However, under present conditions the people of America don’t have the stomach for restricting the power of their gov’t to mandate these things. Indeed, the public mind seems more and more inclined to accept totalitarian rule on even the flimsiest of pretexts, perhaps because it perceives that one day the gov’t might need such power in order to avert a real threat. And in truth, there’s little they can do about it anyway, short of causing the collapse of the entire system. The libertarianism typified by Ron and Rand Paul depends on the people having a measure of independence which no longer exists. It’s a backwards-looking philosophy that idealizes the freedom of colonial times. But times have changed since the American Revolution, when a majority of people were farmers and 90% of the population was rural. People then were self-sufficient, and the technology to enforce totalitarian rule hadn’t yet been invented. Nowadays though, people get their food from grocery stores, and compliance with any arbitrary governmental diktat can easily be enforced by banning the non-compliant from buying food, working, or even leaving their homes.

    Collapse of the system is the only way to restore the freedoms lost to technological “progress”. But of course, nobody is willing to face that fact; least of all libertarians such as Ron Paul and his son.

    His point is that the common knowledge you cite is actually (((lies))). That seems to be the belief of most of the commenters in this particular corner of the Internet.

    Bullshit. It is trusting (supposed) “experts” which lead us to this mess. Anyone can have common sense or make intelligent observations, independently of what diplomas they have.

    Ron Paul is right. He should have been president back then.

    Malone, a virologist, should not opine on mass psychosis.

    Absentminded viewers should not opine on material they failed to understand. Malone did not come up with that theory, he quoted a psychologist – Mattias Desmet – and explained the essence of his theory. Do try to do better next time…

    the point should be obvious

    unless you’re a middle school student or Jerry Springer fan, you should know by now that just about everything we’ve been told about WWII (and WWI) by your ”unimpeachable witnesses”, are lies.

    Duh

    From the famine in Ukraine that was lied about…

    to who was responsible for the Katyn forest massacre, to gas chambers and crematoria full of Jewish fat, all shoveled up and processed into soap, are all lies.

    Just like all the lies we’re all told today about WMD and Arabs with box cutters flying jets into building seven, it’s all lies, fool.

    Only I’m not sure if you’re just another gullible imbecile, or more likely, just another rotten liar.

    It is refreshing to see there are still those among us that have brains and still know how to use it.
    Those behind coining the derogatory nazi toward the Germans are the same behind the manipulation of the populace today.
