*This is how the so-called Resistance "thinks" about COVID-19, the lockdowns,* *HCQ, and everything else—not scientifically, but tribally. Their "logic" is as * *follows: "Trump says X. Ergo, not-X must be true; and anyone who even dares* *to question not-X, much less disagree with it, is pro-Trump—ergo, evil."* *Thus this black-clad white "anti-racist" not only told Dr. Immanuel she isn't* *"black like me," but that her clinical experience with HCQ means nothing,* *even though it's saved so many of her patients' lives (which, apparently,* *don't matter much), since Trump has "touted" HCQ, which puts Dr. Immanuel * *"on **the wrong side," along with those who once "abetted slavery."* *This racist idiot quite clearly has no clue that the attack on Dr. Immanuel,* *and the anti-HCQ propaganda drive in which it is the latest shot, is at the* *service of Big Pharma/Gates' vaccine agenda, which promises to do grave* *harm to countless black people, among billions of others. That Gates et* *al. are using black people, in South Africa and Brazil, as guinea pigs for* *testing that experimental COVID-19 vaccine, and that Melinda Gates has* *pledged to "vaccinate" black Americans against COVID-19 ASAP (right * *after the elderly), are facts that such Resistors can't take in, because* *Trump is not the bad guy here (although, in fact, he's actively abetting * *that agenda). Any movement truly dedicated to the protection of * *black lives would be demanding that those vaccine trials stop NOW,* *along with the ferocious propaganda drive against hydroxychloroquine,* *which is far less expensive, and immeasurably safer, than whatever * *high-tech serum Gates et al. come up with, and try to force on all the* *world (themselves excepted)—and which has already saved innumerable* *black lives throughout the nation and the world.* *This last fact was heatedly denied by a Resistor who's a member of this* *list, in response to Guy Vantresca's explanation of how "HCQ+" works,* *which I sent out earlier today:* *O, fer godsakes, Mark & Guy. Stella Immanuel is a rightwing and religious lunatic. * *Her beliefs -- religious and otherwise -- are NOT irrelevant if you see that she's * *delusional. And listen to that first doctor that spoke in front of the Supreme Court, * *Doctor, Bob Hamilton, who chose to attack the LA Teacher's Union for demanding * *'DEFUND THE POLICE" .... can I trust his judgment on anything after that?What a fool, for taking this important opportunity to basically defend Trump, while * *never going through any actual studies on HCL.Pisses me off .... And I'm more than open to solid, fact-based critiques of the medical * *and pharmaceutical complex. Just because these people are critics, they're also * *"true believers" in the cult of Donald. (I wish it were Donald Duck, but they're both * *quacks [sic]."* *(My correspondent ended with a link to an attack on Dr. Immanuel in The Guardian,* *and the derisive propaganda blast that I've attached.)* *Note the logic there: Dr. Immanuel is a lunatic, which is not irrelevant "if you see"* *that she's a lunatic—along with Dr. Hamilton, who's opposed to the campaign to * *"defund **the police." Hence both those doctors are "'true believers' in the cult of* *Donald"—meaning that their clinical experience has no validity, because Trump.* *That sophistry aside, this isn't the first time that I've been accused of pro-Trump * *sympathies for **questioning the official COVID-19 narrative. On April 30, I sent out* *F. William Engdahl's "The Dubious Covid Models, the Test, and Now the * *Consequences," an excellent analysis that Global Research has just published;* *and, soon thereafter, I got this bizarre response from an old (and now former)* *friend, whose work I'd been promoting for many years:* *And how does it feel to find yourself aligned with a bunch of alt-right-sponsored AK-47 * *(and worse)-toting thugs and brownshirts? Not to mention with the bloated bastard himself * *and whoever he's working for? You couldn't pay me enough to be on their team. About the * *only thing that would do it is if they threatened the life of my daughter - which I've been * *wondering of late is not something I have to look forward to, their way of transacting * *business and getting things done [sic].* *That this friend's scholarship is unimpeachable, his mind ordinarily razor-sharp,* *is something that you'll have to take on faith; though I couldn't blame you for* *doubting it, on the basis of that strident, incoherent rant, and its inane presumption* *that to note the wild exaggeration of those early COVID-19 "models," and their* *catastrophic consequences, is to be "aligned" with violent white supremacists,* *and "the bloated bastard himself"—since, in that Resistor's mind, just as in the * *mind **of Bush the Younger, "you're either **with us or against us," and if you question * *the **official narrative of COVID-19, **"you're against us." He wouldn't "be on their* *team" no matter how much anybody paid him (perhaps implying I'm on Putin's* *payroll, or the NRA's)—as if you cannot disbelieve the CDC and WHO and New* *York Times without thereby joining that bad "team." * *I could quote other emails just as shrill, irrational, and—again—tribal as that* *one, from other (former) friends no less intelligent, but who've become unhinged* *by Trump Derangement Syndrome (and, in some cases, by their funding). But* *there's no need for that, as these two examples, and the video of that racist* *hollering at Dr. Immanuel about how black he is, are certainly enough to make* *the point:* *This tribal ferocity among "progressives" is, to put it mildly, very bad for all* *of us. First of all, it's put "the left" on the same "team" with Fauci/Gates and* *our Big-Pharma-dependent media, all of them deliberately pooh-poohing an * *affordable, effective treatment for COVID-19, so as to bring on the global* *vaccination drive that Gates has indiscreetly called, in public, "the final * *solution." And, secondly, that vicious tribal animus has helped immensely* *to **protract and intensify the Great Divide that only serves our overlords,* *who are sitting prettier than ever, what with We the People at each other's* *throats, when we should be "aligned" with one another, against them;* *but with "progressives" like the ones I've quoted here, such solidarity* *is, if not impossible, a vastly greater challenge than it ought to be.* *MCM* Jonathan Simon <verifiedvote2...@aol.com> Thu, Apr 30, 8:29 PM to me -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
