Not on Substack but Jeff Childers at coffeeandcovid.com is a lawyer fighting the good fight for clients big and small. He deconstructs the SCOTUS decisions this morning. I’m a retired atty and his legal analysis always teaches me something I wish I knew back in the old days. Highly recommended.

Eric, he IS on Substack, for which I'm glad, since he just got a 3-day FB suspension for telling the truth while laughing.

Ah. Thank you for alerting me to that.

I think we need a central place where salient discovered and now incontrovertible truths can be compiled and made available to us the 'converted'. So that we don't have to keep on reinventing the wheel.

And then we could just use links to pages from that site as ammunition in our constant struggle to get the message across.

We could give the links to family and friends and any who'd listen

And we could email to politicians, health depts, doctors, law enforcement, unions, business CEO's and so on.... get the idea?

A common resource.

We only need a small handful of 'incontrovertibles'. I'd suggest these.. they are what I'd like to have handy... I'd print them out and paste them up:

. There Is/Was no Emergency.

Just a medical situation such as we've had before and will have again and amenable to normal handling by our appropriate people.

. Everything the govts have done/are doing has exacerbated the situation.

. Masks, distancing, deep cleaning , lockdowns have all either had no effect or made things worse.

. The marginal gain in 'protection' nominally offered by a vaccine could have more than been achieved by prophylaxis with known repurposed drugs, appropriate vitamin levels etc. and with no risk of side effects and no tremendous cost to the nation in every way.

. The actual costs of the measures have nowhere been clearly looked at and they are in fact staggering. Going from millions malnourished even to death in the third world to people in our own towns and villages suffering pain and even death from omission of appropriate treatments and diagnoses.

. The vaccines quite clearly are NOT the same as any other in ANY way at all: not tested in the normal way, not producing similar levels of bad effects, not being withdrawn at the same levels as others would have been withdrawn... etc...

Just those would do for starters. I can put my own site up if I work on it especially if I can access preworked, preresearched material - but who'd look at my site? Some central places like this Substack is getting to be could be the reference point many many would see.

One of these Substackers is starting a Wiki project for just that purpose- forget which one. Maybe Crawford?

Yes. “Campfire Wiki” I think. He’s looking for help sifting through research and uploading to the Wiki.

well thanks for that. I will look it up. To my mind it would have been better called something with 'covid' in its name so that searches might the more readily find it but anything is better than nothing. Just means it is all the more important for our own sites to point to it.

I have the same point to make about collateralglobal.org which didn't/doesn't just miss out on the 'covid' tag but it's even a 'dot org' instead of a 'dot com' which makes reliable transmission of its URL by word of mouth and from fallible memory less certain.

So its another one: all the more important we mention it as frequently as possible.

I have a few hundred URLs pointing to relevant You tube videos, Scientific papers and studies and published pieces such as on Substack here.

They're accessible to anyone at covidhonesty.com.

I'll find the campfire wiki and try to assist them if I can and use their material to assist me, us, everyone.

Yes! It's such a fantastic idea.

Mathew is indeed building such a project and volunteers can contribute. I have been meaning to help out but after moving overseas the disruption in my daily routine has been fairly severe.

He has three explicit posts on the “Campfire Wiki” project:

Thanks for that. I checked them out. Not quite what I had in mind. They seem to be going for something far bigger and all-encompassing or whatever.

Very big deal. Good for them. More power to their collective elbows.

I'm really thinking simply of the results of all their efforts.

You go to a site and there's a few 'headings' or labels.

They've come to be recognised as the most potent, the most power packed, the most significant and mindset-altering statements or facts that can be put to the doubters, the uncertain, the seekers.

Click on any one of them and be confronted with lists of links, with charts, with graphs, with reports, with tests, with trials - with ALL kinds of rock solid evidence to support that contention.

See? Simple as that.

Is the basis. Core idea.

But expanding on that: have it allowing for discussion like these threads.

Have it allowing for uploading of new evidence.

Have it searchable for specific evidences or words, phrases.

The main thing, the main idea, is simply to have all the main stuff in one place we all know about.

Second thing would be, obviously, to have it all sorted neatly and properly.

Third thing the interactive aspects.

All the evidence is already out there in the world. We don't need any more. We can use more, of course. We like to see it. Investigation should never stop, attention should not wane. But we have, for this purpose, sufficient already.

It just needs those three things:

1. collecting in one widely known place.

2. all sorted well and presented well

3. in an interactive user friendly environment.

It would be a global 'covid truth' site.

We would quote it to each other.

We would direct doubters to it.

We would send it our latest discoveries.

We would access it to find what we wanted.

Your open letter to the public officials was incredible. Knocked it out of the park.

Aww, thank you so much, Monica! Glad you and so many others appreciated it and are using it as a tool to help defeat mandates, injections of schoolchildren, and other vaxxisct policies.

If you haven’t already seen it, I created a generic version (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-governing-body) people can more easily adapt to their own needs.

Thank you! While reading through your list it occurred to me that two parallel yet polarized realities if you will are being created in our society through mainstream news and these growing alternatives that are censor free but can also be biased too. Just wanted to put this out there...frankly substack is keeping me sane but makes things feel more surreal esp when trying to live my life in a society that has taken the other path

I had a thought the other day which has helped me deal with the insanity. I wonder if anyone else has had the same thought. It was the sudden realisation that this insanity is not something we are 'moving into' but something we are moving away from.

I mean: I was looking around in increasing shock and horror as on all sides I found more and more 'evidence' of total irrationality, bias, self interest, deceit, trickery, corruption, cowardice, malfeasance..... everywhere I looked I found more... as though I were moving into a world getting more and more awful the more I discovered.

But then: what was so horrible about it all? Nothing, really. The size of the horror was directly proportionate to size of my belief that it should be otherwise.

The horror was all about my own naive and simplistic and unreal perceptions of, understandings of, reality, people, society.

Actually all 'out there' was much the same as it always has been throughout all recorded history.

My pain was exactly the pain suffered when you realise there's no Santa Claus. Or Tooth Fairy. Or other more 'grown up' deceptions we have to abandon.

i.e. it is not that the world is insane and growing more insane by the day.

No. Quite the contrary. It was I that was insane. I was insane to imagine that despite all evidence of history and all common sense that the world and people was, were, would be any different.

It was me that was insane. And I'm recovering from my insanity. My own childish self delusions.

As are millions other around the globe right now And because that's happening we can say the situation is certainly not getting more and more insane, madder and madder, worse and worse - nope, it's getting better and better as more and more of us recover our health and learn to think and see clearly.

With all due respect I am not so sure about Dr Malone.

Here is a link that might shed some light why I feel this way.

Well if I were you I'd have rethink. That link of yours began almost immediately by calling Dr Malone a 'liar' without sufficient grounds. Absolutely. Now that's a hallmark these days, as we've all learned, of the bad, the destroyers, the untruthful, the wrong, the censors, the freedom takers, etc... ALL those we're, most of us, fighting against in venues like this.

We've become quite skilled at sussing them out.

See ad hominem attack and we're 90% sure we've found one.

See bad language and we're 90% sure.

See leaping willingly to condemn...

And so on...

I'm sorry to say your link displays all these unfortunate traits..

The piece to which you link starts off with a lie about him. He has repeatedly, on video, refuted the erroneous claim made by others that he invented the "vaccines" themselves. Rather, he holds several patents dating to the 1980s on the original technology and idea behind what are now the vaccines. His wife, who was there, is particularly outraged at the lies and so wrote this:

I just learned of Mark Changizi thanks to his ban from Twitter. He is a cognitive scientist and uses that perspective to analyze the corona crazy. (https://markchangizi.substack.com/) One of his more recent Substacks uses the word "cooties." Who can resist that?
