Filter what you see to avoid burnout and media control of your mind.

You can’t master reading and writing without study; this applies even more to mastering the art of living. —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (AD 171)

We live in the age of the non-sequitur—the era of irrational ideas. To splinter and confound us, the globalists are ruining our information sources. Our minds have difficulty ignoring the debased, heavily promoted ideas and images passing before us. 

TV and Hollywood movies, for example, are toxic and vacuous. Their violence and other evils taint our thoughts and persist in our subconscious. Delete their apps. Passively allowing this filth into our thinking conjures false emotions directed by deviants.

If you are tired, watch relaxing YouTube videos instead. Search for “Farm Life” or go on your dream vacation. This gives the middle finger to the degenerates. Unfortunately, if you do not pay for—or better yet steal—a subscription, you are still letting warped advertisements into your mind.

Liar’s World substack describes how it all works.

Written and spoken words are put through a decoding process wherein the brain deciphers the words and the sentence structure to properly interpret what it is reading/hearing. In this process, both the conscious and unconscious mind go through an internal debate comparing what it’s interpreting with what it already knows to be true. With the image, however, the brain instantly processes it as truth, which means information presented in a visual format has a much greater impact on the unconscious. Over long periods of time, recurring imagery has a built-up effect on the viewer which allows for unconsciously conceived notions of truth to manifest as though from nowhere. Naturally, then, whoever has control over the mediums of communication has a tremendous amount of power over the populations who consume it. —David B. Deserano

So much today is purposefully constructed to destroy our peace of mind. None of us has the time or energy to ponder WTF is going on with each bit of chaos we encounter, so the best practice is to turn off as many inputs as possible. You must make each decision yourself, and you are usually better off reading books. For a start, here are examples of things I ignore.

The gender-bending garbage is purpose-built to disgust and overwhelm us. THIS article explains the entire thing in detail, but it is TMI unless you are caught up in these trends and have a particular interest. I could not tolerate reading it all.

I read a lot of Substacks. I never waste more than a few minutes on an author with weak content or confusing motives. You cannot tell the difference between those who are fooled, stupid, or have agendas, so if you smell something, cut them off and give it no more thought. Likewise, if my blog commenters seem flip, insincere, or contradictory, I block them.

I also quickly unsubscribe to posts with poor editing. Authors must master writing to be taken seriously; if you are too undisciplined to improve yours, you are writing a diary. Never delude yourself that your awkward prose is innovative. Readers who find your work jerky, unpleasant, or baffling leave.

I paid for Steve Kirsch’s substack for a while but ultimately found him repetitive, so I quit. I recently stumbled across a post of his that whined, “Why is Bill Gates ignoring all the adverse data on the COVID vaccines?

Bill Gates is super impressive. I’ve known him for over 40 years.

Like Elon Musk, he’s a voracious reader and knowledgeable in any field he chooses to learn about.

But in the case of COVID vaccines, Bill is willfully blind to all the adverse safety and efficacy data.

Steve implies that his insider knowledge about Gates proves he is not a genocidal psychopath. My confusion as I scanned this reinforced my earlier decision to ignore Kirsch. (Thanks to my friend Dog for the link.) Another example: Steve speaks with Sasha Latypova HERE. He says that the mass murders were not premeditated.

And then there is Malone. People I respect think he has done far more good than harm. Many such as Meryl Nass claim knowledge of his integrity based on personal relationships and sometimes even brief conversations with him. But I know how easily I am fooled—anyone can be fooled—and the Breggin lawsuit is a hard data point. Paul Alexander’s first-hand accounts of Malone’s attacks on our leaders are others (The update is HERE). I now regard Meryl as an unreliable source and unsubscribed.

Malone’s recent video implies that we should all join his army of “5th generation” warriors pushing lies. But he claims no one knows who the enemy is, which fits with the globalist strategy to demoralize us. Katherine Watts clears up this supposed mystery:

From late January 2022 to now, I spent most of my time researching and writing about the secular legal components of the worldwide industrialized sterilization, maiming and murder program pursued with such great enthusiasm by private central banking families and a few thousand people who serve them from positions within national governments and supranational government-like entities, primarily the United Nations World Health Organization, and the American military-industrial-pharmaceutical-media-Congressional complex.

Ginger Breggin writes HERE that if we behave like the jackals we face and start lying, we are lost:

Malone is literally inviting the people to become his personal psyops army. Notice the patronizing tone as he says, “And I am glad to continue to try to help you as we walk along this path,” and how his last word is “me,” a focus one can find throughout his substack.

We now know that Malone’s emphasis on Fifth Generation Warfare aims at establishing new credentials for himself and is paving the way for the release of his next book titled PsyWar. Earlier, Malone tried to establish himself with the concept of “mass formation psychosis,” labeling and diminishing people with a diagnosis of extreme mental illness. That has now morphed into the people becoming a mass of children bewitched by magical Fifth Generation Warfare, from which he will rescue them while training them to use the techniques against his critics, including us.

We Must Embrace and Live by Our Moral Values

Instead of using deception and manipulation, we must define ourselves as free men and women. We must defend liberty and freedom and reclaim it where it has been stolen. Every slight theft must be rejected. Losses of freedom and liberty must be identified and rebuffed.

Americans, and free citizens everywhere, need to remind ourselves of the fundamentals that have provided us with freedoms and contrast our former freedoms with the last three years of totalitarianism.

We need to return to the Founding documents of our formerly free countries that provide protection and liberty to all individuals. In the United States, we need to remember our Constitution and Bill of Rights and our long and storied shared history of brave Founders, citizens, and leaders who embraced liberty for every individual and embraced the citizen responsibilities that come with our liberty.

We need to re-embrace our traditional values of honesty, courage, and responsibility, and we must not demoralize or demean ourselves by using manipulations and lies to obtain our ends at the expense of others. Our nation was founded by heroes who embraced truth, honesty, forthrightness, and the principles of the Ten Commandments, as well as fear and love of God. We must reclaim their spirit for ourselves and make America once again a beacon of truth.

We Do Not Need A Shepherd

We do not need to be frightened, nor do we need to be led like sheep by someone who wants to be our shepherd. We need strong and honest leaders answerable to us. We need leaders who love America, love freedom, and love and respect our fellow citizens. We need leaders who would never frighten or demean us but instead inspire us to stand up for liberty. Those who would demean and degrade us, citizens of free countries, must be openly identified and opposed.

Though I was guilty of an initial infatuation with Malone, nine months ago I killed all his inputs. Thinking about him is a distraction I will not tolerate.

Other authors are too inflammatory, even if their hearts are in the right place, so I eliminate them, too. Stew Peters comes to mind. My motto is the same as Joe Friday’s, “Just the facts, Ma’am.”

For more about Kirsch, Malone, Peters, and other open questions, see Matthew Crawford’s post “Chaos Agents” HERE.

I am neither comforted nor enlightened by apocalyptic religious themes such as “The Impending Judgment” video by John MacArthur HERE. Wasting emotional energy on material like this subtracts from my ability to cope today.

THIS post suggests we dismiss the entire NASA program based on suspicious video artifacts. I respect the Substacker who posted it, and I do not know the truth, but I do not have the appetite to worry about it. Look at other sources before you eat this meal. My brother-in-law worked for NASA and knows more about them than he does about EMF, so I may ask him. Or maybe I will not bother.

According to insiders, China’s leaders overstate their GDP by more than a factor of four. Outsiders confirm this; established methods correlate a country’s economic output with its nighttime light visible from space. By this metric, the Chinese GDP is four trillion dollars rather than twenty.

We also see claims that their children are smarter and I am sure they also say they are better looking. The original data has to come from China, and we know the Chinese are lying if their lips are moving. So never waste a second listening to their lies—or the rumors about their lies—or reading what people say about their lies.

Trust no source without question, even one from your respected doctor’s office at Stanford:

If you do not immediately see through this, your health may depend on having another look at “Mercola may have discovered the Rosetta Stone of diet and health” HERE. Big Food has fed us cheap but injurious “unsaturated” synthetic fats like Crisco since the early 20th century. Vegetable oils are in this category, and most are unhealthy. One that is widely consumed, linoleic acid, has been credibly blamed for our obesity and diabetes pandemic. In contrast, “saturated” animal fats are less reactive, so they cause fewer inflammatory diseases like cancer and heart conditions. 

Cutting loose personal relationships that have no utility or are purposelessly exhausting is an art I have yet to master. In his Looking Out for Number One (1977), Robert Ringer says to eliminate “drain people” who waste your time and emotional energy. Ghost them. Friends who are meddlesome or intrusive may improve their behavior after a few days or weeks of ghosting. And if they leave, it may be your gain.

My secret weapons to keep me thinking straight are my friends Arnie (Liar’s World Substack) and Polymath Paul. They cry bulls*** on nearly everything I ask them. They remind me to never overestimate science, underestimate the human body’s regenerative capacity, or allow myself to be psyched out by psychopaths. You need people like them in your life.

I also journal, which is a superpower. Writing—far more than typing—drives your thoughts through a part of your mind that helps you remember and focus. Simply jot down random ideas for fifteen minutes at the start of the day. The process is the benefit, and you rarely return to what you have written.

Keeping your phone in airplane mode gives you peace. It also cuts exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). If you need to check in and use an iPhone, rapidly turn it on or off by swiping directly down from the upper right corner. EMF health hazards are consequential, and I will post about them soon.

A sport, another exercise, sun exposure, and regimented time off also help. I wrote about these HERE: “What Max the Iditarod Sled Dog Taught Me About Living to Fight Another Day.

Many in the Freedom Movement, including people like RFK, the Breggins, and McCullough, are willing to work themselves to death. We know we are fighting a forever war and doubt we will live to the end. Many hustle more than 70 hours a week with no time off. This was my pattern until recently. I would crash and burn every month or so for a day or two.

The Iditarod is an 838-mile Alaskan dogsled race. Until recently, half of Max’s teammates died during each race, and the teams sometimes finished with only five dogs out of the original fifteen.

A new Iditarod strategy evolved in the past few years—running for four hours and resting for four hours. Most doggies now live until the end, yet the winning times have been repeatedly smashed. 

Running ourselves nearly to death makes us slower and less productive. But if we schedule time off each day, each week, and each year, we get more done overall and feel better. We need to listen to Max.

Another key concept is that being skeptical because you are ignorant is as stupid as believing propaganda. Some people never read (DFR) and never listen (DFL). I wrote about this when I was at the funeral of a friend who drank himself to death:

A life of purposeful empty-headedness misses the ultimate game—aggressive learning. To play it well, we must choose inputs that allow us to stay cool yet firmly grip reality. This preserves our core survival skills: having the strength and flexibility to change our minds as the paradigm evolves. Learning is painful, but it is salve for all other wounds. 

Finally, I have a review system that I have used for decades to recycle many hundreds of vital ideas past my eyes. This anchors selected philosophies into my brain. Some are Christian. 

I use the app Cultured Code Things to do this, but others, such as OmniFocus, work well, also. Some people prefer physical “tickler” folders, but I like having my ideas close to me on my phone. David Allen’s Getting Things Done (2001) was my original inspiration.

The following are examples of thoughts I recycle. The ones below are mainly from Aurelius’s Meditations (AD 171).

How shameful and absurd for the spirit to surrender when the body is able to fight on.

You always have the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to trouble yourself about things beyond your control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.

Don’t fear the future. You will face it, if that is your fate, armed with the same reason that guides you in the present.

Let come what may to those who are affected by outward circumstance. They will always find something to complain about. For myself, if I choose not to view whatever happens as evil, no harm will come to me. And I can so choose.

My student days are over… nevertheless you can still learn to check your arrogance, learn to rise above pleasure and pain, learn to ignore flattery, and learn not to be upset with the gauche and ungrateful….

Feeling the god’s headwind beating on our backs, we pull harder on the oars and make no complaint.

Are my guiding principles healthy and robust? On this hangs everything. The rest whether I can control it or not is but smoke and the grey ashes of the dead.

Don’t become disgusted with yourself, lose patience, or give up if you sometimes fail to act as your philosophy dictates, but after each setback, return to reason and be content if most of your acts are worthy of a good man.

Only a fool or a stranger on this planet will be surprised by anything in this life.

How at this moment am I using my mind? This is a question worth asking all the time. How do my words and deeds measure up to the ruling reason within me?

This is not a debate over trifles, but over whether we will be sane or not. (Epictetus)

On occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use. (Epictetus)

It all depends on your opinion of it and that depends on you. Jettison your opinion and you will find yourself like a sailor rounding the headland on a calm sea in a bay without waves.

Bad luck borne nobly is good luck.

How easy it is to push away and block out every rude and unwelcome idea and suddenly recover ones peace of mind.

Jettison your cargo of opinion and you are saved. Who prevents you from doing this?

Just because you find the work too hard to do, don’t leap to the conclusion that it is humanly impossible: but if the work can and should be done by a man, then consider yourself capable of doing it.

      I agree. And as my dance teacher used to say: “Repeat, Repeat, Repair” and she’s not wrong. Steve has done a tremendous service to the jab injured with his Vacsafety.org and his weekly zoom calls with all the good docs, etc. has been lifesaving for many injured. He himself was jabbed as was his family, and you can see the visceral franticness of how he is trying to right a wrong done to his family and how he has been painfully red-pilled and dumped by his tribe. I admire his tenacity. He must be absolutely pissed to have fallen from the good graces of the Silicon Valley liberal establishment and to be wholly rejected by his alma mater, MIT. To be at the height of his career with all his accomplishments and then to become persona non grata has to be devastating. He will, in the end, be vindicated.

    Dr. Yoho, I don’t comment regularly but I read you religiously. There is so much wisdom to be unpacked here, and although I don’t agree 100% with everything you say, I will still be sharing this post with everyone I know. The Aurelius quotes in particular were a positive jolt to my system. Turning the phone to airplane mode – great reminder. And writing rather than typing notes and thoughts, etc. thank you for confirming how important this is for the brain to process. I am, at age 60, taking an 8 week Anatomy and Physiology course online, (a bucket list item of mine since I was 23 and getting a Master’s in dance) and using their flash card system within the chapters is absolutely worthless – I hand write the notecards the old fashioned way and was beating myself up for doing it. I wondered if it is my age or if it’s just that I didn’t grow up with a computer (nobody had a computer back in the mid 80’s – In grad school we had a computer lab in the library and it closed at 10 pm so you still didn’t have a ton of time on the computer to type papers on Microsoft Word).This particular post of yours is in the top 5 of everything you’ve written to date. Thank you.

    • Avatar Robert Yoho MD (ret) says:

      There’s a part of the brain where writing is processed. Likewise, hearing and speaking goes into another place. Using each of these inputs helps with memory retention. Some of these darn posts take 30 plus hours of thinking and rewriting. Best and thanks for the comment.

      • Avatar ABIGAIL REPORTS says:

        It is like doing repetitious exercise, it builds muscle memory. Remember how Mr. Miyagi, taught karate in the Karate Kid series, Wax on, Wax off, Sand the Floor, or Paint the Fence? It taught the brain and the muscles. Thus became automatic when used in Karate. I wish I could get my nearly 83 yr old hubby to do the same thing with his eyeglasses, put them in the same place every time. He is always hunting for them. Same with tools.

        People have different brains….I can hear something and remember it, I read very fast but only retain a paragraph or two….I have to write notes with my hand. I think people have sight memories (reading), aural memories( hearing) and writing (physical) aptitudes…to varying degrees…
        Where Dr. Yoho in the brain is writing processed? Do we know?

    • Avatar Duchess says:

      Ditto here. Very well said and I agree wholeheartedly with what you said…thank you for expressing it beautifully.
      I teach note taking…there is NO substitute for the hand brain connection…we dont know why, but when you write something with your hand, it seems to go into your brain and stick there without effort….
      No highlighting , typing notes, etc. achieves the same effect.

  • Avatar Neoliberal Feudalism says:

    Very nice post, thank you. Mallone got the heart attack jab (which he had a life-threatening complication to) at the peak of COVID hysteria which showed a stunning lack of discernment and it shows that he fell for the “mass formation” that I guess he’s now writing a book about as an “expert”. Sounds very much like Jordan Peterson, who did the same thing.

    Re: shielding yourself from lies, it’s such an important thing to do. The pernicious idea that there is objective reporting happening on any issue is just not true. Any article written by anyone at any time and under any circumstances has an agenda in mind, whether it is a stated or implied one. To read an article, regardless of content, is to put you in the writeru2019s mindset and frame of reference. You can choose to consciously reject the contents of the article, but the residue of the ideas being promoted will linger within your mind regardless of any conscious decisions you make. Hence the power of outrageous clickbait articles to advance establishment agendas; their frame has been implanted into your mind.

        Whether he actually went through with it or not is irrelevant to the claim that he (1) holds himself out as having gotten it and (2) claims to be an expert is resisting “mass formation hypothesis”, which is disproven by #1.

        exactly so

    • Avatar George says:

      I’m really confused why people use the fact he took that jab against what he is saying. I can say from personal experience that the worst mistakes I’ve made were the best teachers.

      If we listen to no one who took the jab, there are very few people left to listen to.

      I think Malone was very naive, and his judgement was very poor, but I also think he got a very rude awakening. Have you listened to any of his full length interviews? I think all of the story checks out and is consistent.

      • Avatar Neoliberal Feudalism says:

        Hi George, I think a person’s character is best revealed during times of great pressure. Mallone and Peterson experienced a lot of societal pressure, they gave in, then when the pressure abated they recanted. So why should one expect them to resist the next time society puts a lot of pressure to bear on citizens? This isn’t to say Mallone hasn’t learned from the experience, but for him to then turn around and write a book on mass formation hypothesis as an expert speaks to hubris.

        Want to see a guy who properly resisted extreme pressure and never gave in, never recanted? New Jersey gym owner Ian Smith: https://nypost.com/2022/01/31/nj-gym-owner-ian-smith-announces-congressional-run/

        Now *that’s* a guy I’d love to see write a book on mass formation hypothesis, if he cared to do so.

        • Avatar George says:

          Hi, I think that is a very healthy way to measure people. One thing I also remember is everyone has different circumstances and that the measure of a person will change over time. I know many people who have suffered from anxiety and over time, with a lot of hard work, they work their way out of the habits that generate the anxiety and the measure of that person will significantly change.

          I have made many mistakes in my life, and if people were to take a permanent measure of me at those low points, it would not be representative of me today.

          • Avatar Neoliberal Feudalism says:

            Hi George, I agree with you on that, as Solzhenitsyn stated in The Gulag Archipelago, u201CIf only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart? During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesnu2019t change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil.u201D

            That being said, I would still much rather read Ian Smith’s take – lol.

  • Avatar Realty based says:

    As there is some value to being contrary (even to those whose opinion we overall respect, Iu2019ll add the following:
    1. Gun ownership has more downsides than upsides. I once read (where?) something that stated that, for those who owned guns, the chances of harming an innocent person (I suppose that would include suicide) was 11.5 times greater than the chance that having a gun would prevent harm to themselves or others. On a personal note, I knew a kid (exceptionally good, intelligent kid, by the way) wo had his brains blown out by someone carelessly passing around a gun in a college dorm.
    Having guns around volatile teenagers is never a good idea. I would never have a gun around a teenager. There were times when, between myself, my wife and son all of us had times we probably were angry enough with each other such that, if someone handed up a gun during an argument, it would have been used. (An exaggeration in my case, but not so for much of the populace).
    That said, I own guns now (which I donu2019t use) and will be getting a handgun shortly. I wonu2019t use this without practicing under supervision first. This is just for thatu2026u2019if everything goes totally badu2019 scenariou2019 that could happen. I really donu2019t worry about the government coming for my guns. That just wonu2019t happen in this country.
    2. It may be worth dissecting the integrity or effectiveness of the various Substack writers who were against the government narrative on the need for and benefits of the Covid vax, but I tend to case a wide net of forgiveness (perhaps too big?) for people like Malone. Sometimes the ego gets mixed up with the good stuff they are doing. It may be worth ignoring some things if most of what they are doing is beneficial.
    Thatu2019s all for now. Love your writing. I read Corrupted by Health Care. I want to send this to a friendu2019s son who is thinking of becoming a doctor. The risk is that he may no longer want to pursue this quest, given what is going on in the health care system. The second risk is that he wonu2019t get anywhere if he questions the dominant treatment narratives too loudly. (At the least, I want to warn him away from pursuing cardiology, urology, oncology, or psychiatry, as these seem to be the most compromised, misguided specialties).

        My smart tv is old and I think broken now…can’t change from HDMI2 to cable..so its how I have been watching tv the last week or two…and I watch “escape to the country” a DABL channel/british tv thing.

    I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Some mornings, my favorite sources of news/memes/ideas are so toxic nowadays. Just by trying to keep people informed, and despite their best intentions.

    I am loath to take sides in some of the skirmishes you describe, Dr Yoho. Nobody’s perfect, and “by their fruits ye shall know them.” The message is more important than the personality of the messenger which is usually flawed in some way.

    Being out there in the sun is helping a lot. 🙂
    May you day be bright, fellow SH followers.

    This is a great message and good advice.

    I will comment on a couple interesting choices. I’ve been following Alexander/Malone/Breggins’ fight for a while now, and I haven’t drawn the same conclusions as you.

    First, much of what Alexander writes is clearly him emotionally shooting from the hip. While I respect his candid approach, it’s pretty clear he is also largely driven by ego. I also know some people who interacted with him first hand during the Trucker convoy and they said that he had a very big ego.

    Secondly, Alexander throws a ton of stuff out there without doing all the due diligence. That’s OK because he doesn’t pretend to have done the research but he makes notable errors and much of what he writes is personal opinion or emotional response.

    Third, the idea about Malone being pushed by Alexander/Breggins is utter nonsense. IMO the evidence points far away from the idea that Malone is controlled opposition, quite the opposite. Malone was an insider and as he woke up to realize his life had been dedicated to working for a corrupted state sponsored machine he (and others like Rogan) were instantly attacked by every single tool at the state’s disposal. They don’t do that to controlled opposition. For controlled opposition they simply fact check them to make sure the populace thinks they are cranks. For example, I think Stew Peters is controlled opposition. He does not do due diligence and spews some utter nonsense even if some of his ideas are correct. He gets fact checked and they leave him alone because he ruins the credibility of anyone associated with him. Sure he gets view, but it’s not credible.

    This is the problem I have with Breggins, is he used Stew Peters to attack Desmet/Malone. He used a lot of other resources over what should be is an academic disagreement in psychology.

    Now, I think Malone is patronizing, and I think he has a big ego he’s desperately trying to hide, and he’s still very bitter about being excluded from getting credit for the technologies he helped create.

    Is the lawsuit over the top, no doubt. Is it bad for everyone? Yes. If you read the lawsuit, the attacks against him were pretty personally nasty. If Breggins had an academic disagreement, then he should have stuck to that instead of personal allegations for which he has no proof. On the matter of the suit, it sure looks like Malone is correct. Does it justify a lawsuit, I doubt it because no one wins in a lawsuit.

    But to paint Breggins’ as martyrs is BS IMO. They could end this suit really easily by retracting the personal attacks. They simply won’t back down either.

    Lastly, the idea propagated by Alexander that Malone and the other inventors are somehow responsible for the misuse of something they invented is ludicrous. It’s technology. We should be blaming the evil users of it, not the inventors. Malone himself admits he was duped, and himself suffered the consequences of taking the vaccine.

    Malone is naive, patronizing, but he has the ability and credibility to move a lot of people. He is also aligned with Kennedy who I think has a pretty good track record and has the potential to shift a lot of public opinion.

    If Kory and McCullough came out and said Malone was bad, then I would listen to them. But they haven’t. What we hear from Alexander is heresay except what they said to him. This stuff about Crypto came from Kirsch no doubt, who was probably thrashing around to come up with some way to transact outside of government control.

    Anyways, I don’t listen to Malone anymore because he’s not saying anything new that I can’t get from others, but I don’t think he controlled opposition or bad or evil.

      All good points and exactly what reality is cannot be determined from our remove. Breggin have an ego, but their many decades history is clear evidence they are sincere. I won’t analyze further than I did in my essay, and I reached the same idea as you: to ignore what I am unsure or skeptical about. I think that is what you are saying.

      • Avatar George says:

        Yes. However, I do scan the posts by both Malone and Alexander as I want to see if there is anything worth adding to my evidence gathering or to change my mind.

        I have not known/followed Breggins for decades, but their association with Peters makes me suspicious.

        I think you are more disciplined than I am with this lol as there is a cost to scanning. But in this case, I really want to know the outcome.

    • Avatar Jerome V says:

      Very interesting perspective on Malone! Your map fits all the data points I’ve seen, so I rank it highly probable. Malone wrote about Parasites today: https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/parasites-the-administrative-state
      I judge that it’s a good thing if he brings awareness to the parasite/host relationships at play in today’s world. He’s got a big audience. He may not dare name the particular most problematic parasites because reasons, but just bringing attention to the category of Parasites helps our side.

    Great article, Iu2019ve been doing this & this helped refine the process. Also + paid for Surviving healthcare & – paid for Kirsch uD83DuDE09 Spend as much time in your garden as possible!

    I love this so much I’m planning to reread it several times so i can absorb it all. Thank you.

  • Avatar Susan says:

    Amen to all of this! I still read Dr. Malone and Steve Kirsch sometimes, as they have some educational things to say, and theyu2019ve done a lot toward getting people to wake up. But Dr. Maloneu2019s lawsuit against Dr. Breggin (one of my greatest heroes) and Steveu2019s promotion of the dangerous psychotropic fluvoxamine (Luvox) are outrageous. Great reminder about being really conscious and picky about our various inputs!

    I love this article and am sharing it widely… I wish the link preview was not so cringe, though. Here’s how it shows up: https://video.thesetruths.com/static/media/yoho-stay-calm-cringe-poster.png
    (I obsess about how my article link previews are rendered, and often spend time reformatting the image SS will use, which is on the Save article page. I’ve read SS likes these images to be in a 14×10 form factor, but what looks best can vary with the social media site the link is shared via.)

      thanks and I’ll delete that photo and describe it.

        If you delete it, when you Update the post SS will show you the image it plans to share with link preview. If a post has no images, I think this defaults to your stack’s default image.

    Profound essay is in so many different areas woven together like a silk web both beautiful and strong. As always enjoyed listening to your measured voice.

    This part in particular struck a cord, “recurring imagery has a built-up effect on the viewer which allows for unconsciously conceived notions of truth to manifest as though from nowhere.” A few weeks ago, I was telling a young male friend that I think the point of action movies is to make men feel as if they are participating in action thus they are getting their male energy out – but of course, it is all an illusion. And just yesterday, an ad popped up on YT for ’emergency contraceptive’ which I assume means the morning-after pill. Two young women both reached for the last box. To persuade the other to let go, they tried to ‘best each other’ on what losers their boyfriends were such as ‘he lives in his grandparents’ basement.” I didn’t know which was worse that young men were being portrayed as losers or that young women were being messaged that it is okay to be with a man you don’t respect.

    Thank you DR. Yoho. You are my daily dose of sanity, wisdom & education. Appreciated.
    Your reference to EMF. On android mobiles. ElectroSmart is an eye opener as to how much exposure is around one.

      I just turn on the radio to an AM station….I can hear only half of the channel in my drive to work. No wonder they want to ditch AM radios in cars. Keep the populace dumb.

    Thank you for sharing your way of figuring out what to listen/view/allow into your conscious, and why and what you exclude. VERY helpful….
    And Dr. Yoho, I am reminded of my motto “Anyday I can go to the bathroomm unassisted is a good day”.

    The relevant thing about Fat is only use animal fat when heated and vegetable fat only cold pressed and never heated.

    How do you say, avoid any other sources besides those two. No trans fatty lipids, motor oil stuff type. You know, that margarine, shortening bullshit your mothers and grandmothers somehow let themselves be convinced it was better for you than butteru2026u2026 only for butt sex

    Grammar cops are the refuges ivory tower academics and those who donu2019t have to work for a living. While using iPhone dictation as I am working, it allows me to check out social media and whatu2019s going on in the early 21st-century. Typos, grammatical and syntax errors and even the random word salad are not uncommon. As if that somehow refused my knowledge of my two professional interests? Please buy into the dumb Farmer routine. That will be fun. I love being underestimated.

    Believe it or not, some professionals donu2019t have to write or research their subjects other than data points. That doesnu2019t make them any less professional or knowledgeable. Especially in an exchange on a social media platform filled with idiots fake accounts and intentionally disingenuous assholes. Tell you want, you try Internet access only buy smart phone for a week. Tell me how that goes?

    If someone is actually sitting down at a laptop or any other keyboard with nothing to do but post on social media,

    Jesus you are a living example of an account that should be reported blocked and immediately tossed from the Brain file.
    Nothing but toxic AF lies and unannounced agenda agitprop bullshit. You motherfuckers are always guilty of the exact ask you accuse the opposition of, classic fucking projection.

    That, and not a single cited source has the reputation or credibility of a polychete.

    Iu2019ll give you a little pro tip. You already have the dumb people. Give it up. None of the rest of us are buying the horse apples youu2019re selling. Kick rocks boy, ya bother me.
