I shared the heck out of your brilliant, hysterical and yet tragic article. This is my first time reading your work. I’m a fan. Thank you for all you do.
Yes, Sasha, but I feel it will be more of ‘preaching to the choir’. People who still believe the corporate media/government lies won’t read this. My point is that while we’re all wasting time reading and enjoying ‘clever satire’, that time would be better spent on the one and only solution to this mess: figuring out how to get more folks to simply not comply with the nonsense (masks, shots, shutdowns, censorship, etc.). I think it’s important to better prioritize our time and energies. We’ve been writing, reading, and commenting on this stuff for 2-3 years now! I’m sorry, but it’s really getting repetitive; I’m up to here with the ongoing clever comments, etc. Let’s stop being so distracted. By the way, Sasha, I really appreciate your work and posts. You’re getting the word out about this being a DoD - run operation. So many people still have no clue about that. Thank you for your efforts.
There are a lot of people out there who have the right intuition or sense of things, but have a hard time being able to articulate it succinctly. Clarity breeds conviction and confidence, and not everyone has the same degree of clarity as you ;)
There's also a lot of people out there who are on the fence in part because they cannot fathom how it could be that institutional science is fundamentally corrupt when it doesn't look or feel that way from the superficial presentation (which to many people is an issue)
I take humor very seriously, and I personally believe it is a powerful weapon, including breaking the spell of covidiocy. That's why I do not think these kinds of posts are a waste of time. I do not pursue any mission by the way and that's why probably I am not frustrated. I simply make my materials and thinking available to people so they make their own decisions about what to do. God takes care of everything else.
A lot of this is familiar to those of us who follow medical research. Malcolm Kendrick's book Doctoring Data, while not satire, is also very entertaining reading.
I’m not sure how effective this will be…more preaching to the choir, I’m afraid (people who still believe the official narrative won’t read this). I consider it entertainment for the choir, so I’m not sure what it is really accomplishing in the real world.
Good point. But the choir appreciates it, and may even learn to recognize more of these tactics.
After I read the Kendrick book, which exposes a lot of nefarious strategems to make pharmaceuticals look better than they are, it gave me knowledge to make more intelligent and effective points in conversations with friends. The most important of these is learning to recognize how "relative risk" is deployed, and this is useful information for everybody.
Great work and I (was) working on something similar. I agree with Fabian. I'm going to compare with what I have written and see what I have that you don't. In the meantime, this is overwhelming to most readers, but it is a cookbook of examples for those of us that are going around our state to educate people on the excesses of the deep state and pharmas. One or two examples from this would find their way into every lecture of mine. But I will need to contact you for your permission. And the cover's great too. Humor makes the point. Oh, I expect I will be going head to head with our illustrious state health department head and his lackey later this year. I hope I have your examples memorized, categorized, and ready to display as the conversation permits. Tough job. Maybe one a day?
I'm still working my way through this wonderful document, but your mention of Hotez ("he’s a really annoying Regime Celebrity Scientist") in the table of contents elicited my Pavlovian response, which is to offer this comment.
Shamelessly opportunistic and self-serving, this 2018 Hotez article is for those who are scientists in name only. I avoid ad hominem attacks, so I am being perfectly objective when I describe Hotez as "loathsome".
He's obviously still following his own personal marketing plan, with the rumored goal of being named Anthony Fauci's successor as head of NIAID. I just checked, and six months after the departure of Fauci, the agency still only has an "Acting Director", Hugh Auchincloss, M.D.
This is an incredible piece of work,which will take a while for me to work thru. One clarification, however: The investigation of Dr. Ezike is on almost a technical matter, as her new ($million/yr?) job is with a hospital enterprise which contracts with the State, and she did not wait the prescribed time before taking it. It's very unlikely she'll suffer any consequence. Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/state-launches-investigation-against-former-top-doctor-ngozi-ezike-for-ethics-violations/
Thank you for laying this out in such a detailed and clear way.
It helps relieve some of the cognitive dissonance from living through the last two years.
I watched in horror as they did these things - like changing the definition of “vaccine” and “vaccinated” - and cherry picking data sets, but I lack the expertise to explain it to others.

You can unpublish articles in the article settings, but once the emails are out, the emails are out.
Well, frankly, you need to be more careful about what you are doing.
This is brilliant and hysterically funny! It should be published in the "Idiot's Guide" series :) :)
Thank you :)
If only I could get this more visibility ;)

While I haven't finished reading, what I have read so far perfectly addressed the tools used to make all of this possible. Great job!
My default position on medical research, especially if funded by big pharma, is fraud until proven otherwise.
Excellent! If you control the literati and glitterati, you can fool the masses of illiterati.
The horrible thing is seeing these things actually come to pass...
Lol cute line :)
Excellent!
Wonderful! Satire can be very effective.

Collaboration by like minds can ensure that 1+1 > 2.

Yup, I actually have that article bookmarked, it's a doozy
"Marianna Trench"
That would be the Mariana Trench

That was an 'American nh rant' by 'Chairman Tanner'. :)
Or possibly 'Mr Han incarnate'!
So funny.

Mariana Trench is where Marianna Spring should go.

Although as her output stinks Marianna Stench would be a better name for her.
Glad to have finally read & re-read this.
A very comprehensive deep-dive that goes a long way to clarify a ton of confusion.
I really appreciate the humor making an otherwise dry topic accessible.
Lots to learn from this piece!
Saved and shared. I hope this helps you gain more subscribers because this is a joy to read.
I'm still reading through this gloriously detailed book, but I wanted to comment how much I'm already enjoying it.

I included the part about the ethics investigation only because it was too good to pass up on for the flow of the article, it was too perfect :)
Yes, that part was carelessly and sloppily done. Looks like she was rewarded for her work shilling for Covid19.
Thank you for laying this out in such a detailed and clear way.

This is exactly why I wrote it :)
Beyond brilliant! Thank you!
Thanks :)
