Ms. Margaret: Many congratulations on your success. As much as others have aided your increasing popularity, you should know that your writing is so good that it was bound to be widely read and appreciated in the end. Thanks for everything you are doing.

You hit the nail on the head when you ask "what hope is there for the stupefied masses?" Your connection to Trump Derangement Syndrome was spot on. I will never understand how TDS sufferers could have been, and still are, so filled with hate that they even distanced themselves from close relations, permanently it seems, whom they had known or even loved for many years. Covidians seem to have the same kind of hatred that TDS sufferers had/have. They are so spellbound with the narrative, while suffering a severe case of cognitive dissonance, that I'm concerned that we may never get through to them. Would we be better off in a world where we didn't try to make them understand what has happened to all of us? Are we wasting our time even trying?

Professor Desmet mentioned two consequences of mass hypnosis that struck me as perhaps the most important points he made. Victims of mass hypnosis become ". . . insensitive to all the personal losses they experience as a consequence." And, ". . . in a totalitarian state, people become radically intolerant [of] dissident voices . . . and direct all their aggressions at [them]." In a nutshell, these covidians may become violent when confronted with the truth, and they will resist with all their will even considering that they may be wrong.

As well-researched and thorough as your pieces are, and they are indeed both, the real trick will be persuading covidians to take the time to read them. That is a daunting challenge and, possibly, a treacherous one. You probably can see that I am a pessimist by nature (pessimists are rarely disappointed); I suspect you are more of a optimist. Why else would you do the work you do? In the end, I hope I am wrong about reaching covidians. Likely our whole future depends on it.

I wanted to share a link to a Dr. Samantha Bailey. She is a Kiwi doctor who has produced a great many short videos that are both entertaining and informative. I can't tell you how much I have learned from her. Sadly, the medical authorities in New Zealand are going after her because of her work; I hope she can survive the onslaught. This his her website:

Sorry for the length of this comment. I am almost as passionate about this tragedy as you are. Thanks, again, for everything you do. I'm delighted that your writing is reaching so many more people. Please keep it up.

Joe, you’ve touched my heart with this profound comment and your earnest support. I do believe TDS and Covidianism are the same side of the propaganda coin, although it has surprised me to see non-TDS sufferers succumbing to the COVID narrative as easily as the TDSers, so Covidianism seems to be more all-encompassing, perhaps because it taps into even deeper, more pervasive, and ancient fears of disease and death. Both stratagems employ ingroup/outgroup cognitive biases to extremely powerful effect while also taking advantage of the amygdala’s capacity for fear, disgust, and rage.

Professor Desmet certainly knows his stuff when it comes to mass formation, and those observations are spot on. Becoming inured to one’s personal losses may be a self-protective mechanism that helps them endure their suffering, which I suspect is only a temporary form of repression that may erupt later.

I think the Covidians who have lost all rationality and are blindly worshiping the state religion and its representatives could very well become violent, and there is certainly historical precedent for that. Those who still have a remnant of reason and a gut feeling that something’s off are still reachable, I believe, and I think they may even become the most passionate advocates for our cause once they realize how cruelly they and others they care about have been duped.

I do realize getting Covidians to read my lengthy pieces is a tall order, which is one reason I’m planning to release these as videos once time permits. I think videos have a much greater chance of reaching a broader audience, particularly those who are less apt to read.

I suppose I’m a cynical optimist or an optimistic cynic—perhaps the latter as my innate skepticism is tempered by an overriding hope in the human spirit to ultimately triumph over evil.

I do like Dr. Sam and am so sorry to hear she is coming under attack. She is a firebrand with the courage and knowledge of medicine/science to call out fraudulent claims when she sees them. I hope she comes out victorious over her adversaries.

Trump's election was interesting. He didn't seem like a serious contender, and that leaves the possibility that he swept the elections and surpassed "their" expectations and they failed to rig the machines in favor of Killary *enough,* or that they made a snap decision to allow him to win because he was just so perfect. I do believe he surpassed Killary in votes.

Shortly after he took office things changed. I called my insurance agent to cancel my (outrageously overpriced) policy and he called me racist for doing so. He literally worked himself into a screaming frenzy. Now, in my observation it is unusual for Asians to lose their composure, and I never said *anything* but that I was switching insurers, I called him by formal salutations- "Mr. soandso," and I've actually been to Vietnam and found them to be absolutely lovely people, but by virtue of Trump's election and the poisonous media which went along with it, it was suddenly acceptable for this insurance agent, who no doubt lives a far more comfortable life than I, to openly accuse his customers of being racist. He even called back about 20 minutes later, and I answered expecting an apology for his unprofessional behavior, but it turned out he just wanted to yell at me some more. Fortunately I recorded the conversation. I should have posted it online and sent it to their headquarters, but I didn't.

I never had any love for Trump. If anything I was indifferent, but my mother suffered TDS to the extent that she wanted to argue with me about everything. The only time I countered her was when she was outright wrong or being illogical. It really began putting a strain on our relationship. Now that he's gone, she's back to normal, but "derangement" is a perfect term.

So, whether his election was a surprise upset, or he was put there on purpose, using him turned out to be a stroke of genius. Anything they wanted to taint by association was possible. Absolutely astonishing.

GJ, what a disturbing story yet sadly representative of how racism keeps getting resurrected and zombified to stoke division and hatred as one more way of controlling the people. I am sorry to hear about the strife TDS caused with your mother but grateful to hear she recovered and your relationship is now restored. I do agree with your analysis that Goldsteining Trump was a diabolically brilliant strategy that is still paying off today.

The only difference in our story is I loved Trump. My Dad who is a Republican even started saying Trump was racist because of the N.C. news coverage. My niece said I Trump supporters were racist. It was terrible. I lost a friend that I had been friends with for over 30 years. She has 3 kids who are mixed. I was with her and them all the time and all of a sudden I was racist because I voted for Trump. I was gobsmacked by the entire experience. My mom and I fell out over Trump and then over Covid. I told my entire family this was all about money (this was at the beginning of the pandemic.) People lost their minds. I am unsure about Trump because of how fiercely he has been pro-jab. However, the one thing I can say is my eyes started opening to the lies and the media manipulation when you ran for office. I believe because of that I was able to clearly see from the beginning that what was happening with Covid and how MSM, social media and the government denied early treatment, was forcing masks on people and mandating the jabs all over the US that something was fundamentally wrong. I thank Trump for that. I pray to God everyday that we continue to have more people open their eyes and that the people involved in all of this are tried and fried for crimes against humanity.

I never liked Trump but held my nose and voted for him twice. I think I have TFS. Trump Fatigue Syndrome.

Tired of those who continue to fervently worship him on the right OR go on frothing rants. One side thinks giving Trump--the Great and Glorious only hope--just one more term will save America. The other thinks punishing Orange Man for every crime ever committed anywhere will bring peace, plenty and justice for all.

Both delusional. I'm sick of it.

A little reminder that I'm working on a list of reasons why someone would not want to get the jab - some are very passionate about it but don't have solid and multifaceted reasons why - this list, I hope would serve as a useful guide for those who have not had the time to survey all the reasons. https://escapingmasspsychosis.substack.com/p/reasons-not-to-get-the-jab

Wow, Margaret. Absolutely enlivened and utterly inspired by your article, depth of information and facility of prose. Well done. I will post to FB. It was at once informative and as you continued became a potent rallying cry for free thinking, free speech and liberation.

Excellent piece worth reading again....and again...

Merck (the charlatans are at it again) have magically dissected the Ivermectin chemical structure and reformed it to make a facsimile in order to patent their rebrand of a tried and tested drug.As you probably know...the virus in question starts out as a long protein...and the only way it can enter the cell and begin its dastardly intention is to hijack the crispr scissors of 3CL protease...Ivermectin essentially disables the scissors...without messing up the pancreas job of breaking down ingested protein foods....i suspect...Merck has created something without questioning its long term effects on main life sustaining organs....only time will tell...certainly not the 12 months they have used to get the big nod from the FDA....

Ivermectin did this perfectly well...and every attempt to block conceal this from the world has caused countless deaths...in the pursuit of the dollar.

Jomico, thank you for your astute and illuminating comment! And yes, BigPharma had to find a way to monetize (and no doubt make more toxic) a dangerously cheap and effective drug, big surprise. I wonder why anyone would pay a fortune for that or Pfizermectin when they could get the same or better results with a drug that has a four-decade record of proven safety. Oh I know how—BigPharma and the colluding agencies/governments make it impossible to get Ivermectin to treat COVID, just like Australia has already done!

💯!! If normies ever come to realize that 100% of the COVID “deaths” (the ones actually “of” not “with”) likely could have been prevented (https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-best-way-to-end-the-pandemic), then we might have a chance of gaining a critical mass awareness and enacting the justice so desperately deserved!

The vilification of Ivermectin is criminal! I have my own story to share on this.

My elderly parents were diagnosed with COVID this past summer (yes, they were double-vaxxed several months before). I asked Mom what they'd been prescribed to fight it off. She said, "Well, nothing. They told us to just stay home unless we got a lot worse." I threw a fit; Mom is 81 and Dad is 88! While they're generally pretty healthy, they're clearly in the high risk group due to their age. I couldn't believe they were offered NO treatment for this illness, but as I learned, that is the standard protocol--let patients get really sick, then admit to hospital to finish them off!

I offered to drive to her house (a few hours away) with my private imported stash of Ivermectin. Her response was, "Ivermectin? That's poisonous!" Yes, that's what she'd heard from her chosen news sources. I quickly went to the FDA & CDC websites to straighten her out...well, whaddya know? That's what those sites were telling her, too!! I was shocked at the blatant lies; could it be that our government was purposely disseminating harmful, deadly information by discrediting a drug that is KNOWN to reduce mortality in COVID? Yes, it was true! Our entire gov't has been hijacked and is no longer a source of truth on any subject, AFAIC.

And just to wind up the story, Mom & Dad made it through COVID with no intervention and fortunately, never needed the hospital, where I'm sure they would've been murdered with Remdesivir and ventilators, so I guess they're among the 94% of over-80s who survive despite the best efforts of our gov't to take them out and clear off the Medicare & Soc Sec rolls!

Wow, Maria, thank you for sharing this outrageous and enraging personal story! It makes me want to tear my hair out by its roots when I hear how people have bought so much into the deceptions that they won’t even consider a proven, unbelievably safe and effective option when their lives may depend on it! Thank goodness, they didn’t become yet another victim of the murderous policies being perpetrated by the complicit medical “professionals” I call out in Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling).
