"Do not count your chickens before they are hatched." -Aesop
A little while ago I found out about the most recent Project Veritas military document exposure.
How long will YouTube allow this to remain?
While I don't have my hands on any documents beyond the Veritas-branded ones here, I am in contact with multiple sources who have seen and read at least some of them.
Do I believe they are real?
At the moment, I do. But with a caveat that I will explain later in this article.
What the documents purport to say:
That the virus and vaccine were engineered in the same lab, together.
That hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were understood to be curative of the SARS-CoV-2.
That interferon also works.
Here is a sample of my own commentary about these topics:
As any long-time RTE knows, I have a few dozen articles. Take your pick.
I have mentioned this some on various social media platforms and briefly in an article here, and have been working for weeks on a larger summary. Here are some of the papers I have read and only time constraints have kept me from fully summarizing (Zhang et al, 2020, Bastard et al, 2020, Bastard et al, 2021, Bastard et al, 2021, Zhang et al, 2021). I have other cites as well, but have not read and digested every paper on the topic. The fact that nobody in public health bothered to point out that 20% of all COVID deaths involve autointerferon antibodies, which might really mean a high proportion of those deaths that are truly primarily causal of COVID-19, is yet another reason to conclude that our entire public health system is fully corrupt and needs to be held to account.
I am neither a biologist, nor a physician, but I took a very serious approach to all these topics. I feel like I've been to graduate school for the past two years, looking up definitions and prior papers in chains to apply understanding to papers that seemed potentially like part of the bigger picture. I have been in hundreds of meetings with scientists and doctors who are experts, and took learning from them very seriously, while still maintaining a distance at which I could formulate my own ideas and opinions. I'm also dyslexic, with a functional reading window that doesn't span a full line of text on a page. I guess I mention this now because it feels like a moment to release a little emotion. This has been very hard.
Is This All Over Now?
"Live not by lies." -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I don't know how other people see it, but never lying at all is a tall task. Learning to live without some lies is something like a commitment to its own discipline, and you can only expect to level up through years of effort. But just like going to the gym, you can start any time. Pro tip: document everything, and cite liberally when you write anything public.
Will people who have participated in the lies now make a new commitment to truth?
I wish that I could think that this is all over. Part of the reason I haven't published more statistical analysis is that the need to frame the big picture feels crucially important. The value of statistics depends on their relationship with reality. Without that root, we're just masturbating with numbers. That's why I spend so much thinking through the big picture of wealth, explaining game theory (though I've just begun) and the narcissistic murderous parent (and all the other Kunlangeta stories). Not to be glib, but this really is 3D chess.
(Yes, this is a real product, and no, I'm not a paid advertiser.)
What do I see in the Big Picture?
I see corporations and governments unfurling banners to plaster the lies on all of our institutions. Whether it was this virus or not, something like a plan for the end of the Dollar era (or perhaps more broadly the fiat currency era) seems to have been in the works for a long time now.
Is the loud blaring of lies from our societal institutions something like bait for the Marxist throngs to burn the institutions down?
Did the virus and vaccines immobilize the Marxist mobs? Was that the point?
Understand the insanity of burning down an institution that is not simply broken down. A Nobel Prize in economics has been appropriately awarded for a logical analysis of the economic value of institutions. Corrupting them so quickly for the purpose of baiting their destruction is a drastic measure by any account.
Even half-ish of our science is Orwellian (the institutions most of all). When the Mathematical Association of America went Woke, and without apparent organizational resistance of any kind, it felt like the mass brainwashing was complete. And honestly, I could feel it in the air when I attended the 2020 Joint Mathematics Conference in Denver, just prior to the pandemonium. The last pillar was falling.
Mathematics was always the refuge of the truth seekers. Did you ever study enough history to join in the collective wondering as to why the Hungarians produced such an astounding proportion of mathematicians and physicists for a couple of generations? Is it because they're aliens? No. Mathematics and the surrounding disciplines is simply where more minds both great and moral flock to in a totalitarian society. There they can do interesting and fulfilling work without participating in the daily homage to the lies. Elsewhere, they might have been inventors, engineers, business leaders, artists, or even statesmen. Or anything else where they might have found love.
This time around, the authoritarians knew well enough to cut off the escape routes. I saw it coming 30 years ago and stopped pursuing mathematics, but that's going to be a very long story for another day.
Nothing is What It Seems
Do not expect the truth coming to light in documents to be the end of this mess unless competent and liberty loving people are extremely lucky and somehow manage to maneuver away control of institutions in the very short term. Are there even enough of them left?
Many of the lies were already so absurd as to be laughable. That is to say that we already reached the point at which the politicians simply stand at the podium and lie to our faces. It's worse some places than others, but there is lockstep unity among the authoritarians. They believe that is the only way to carry power into the next era.
Stop and think for a moment why Project Veritas would be allowed to release these documents. Yes, allowed. Julian Assange is still held in tortuous conditions, Daphne Galizia was simply blown up, and Project Veritas was raided and bullied over Ashley Biden's diary, which was certainly a little piece of presidential drama, but far outside of the category of truths in which we might classify the origins story of the entire pandemic (and all the crimes that entails)!
There are a lot of questions we should be asking, but chief among them is, "What does it mean if it turns out that the truth doesn't matter at all?"
Does it mean that we finally wake up to the reality of war?
I don't know. For now, it's just a question.
Addendum: This is a fair warning, below. As I said, I currently believe the documents to be real, but I don’t know for certain. I was even given a sort of vague heads up about such a release a number of weeks ago, but there is no telling what the limits of manipulation of this story could be, and as I alluded, I don’t know exactly how trustworthy we should view Project Veritas, even though they’ve had an excellent historical track record. Would they know how to verify these documents, fully?
This. "Many of the lies were already so absurd as to be laughable. That is to say that we already reached the point at which the politicians simply stand at the podium and lie to our faces. It's worse some places than others, but there is lockstep unity among the authoritarians. They believe that is the only way to carry power into the next era."
They no longer feel it's necessary to hide the lies. They can lie without impunity. And that is the most terrifying, sad and frustrating part of the surreal world in which we currently find ourselves.
OK, I think the things that Matthew says are brilliant. But, none of us will get anywhere talking amongst ourselves and enlightening ourselves more, whilst meanwhile the masses are hypnotized by mass media. What's the solution?
I think the solution is low-tech, in order to bypass hi-tech. What would that low-tech be? It'd be pamphlet wars, as occurred during the birth of our country (US.) Leave pamphlets around for people to pick up.
What sort of pamphlets (or even books, like "Overcoming the Covid Darkness")? Not pamphlets on mass formation or the global predators-- I mean, seriously? Is anyone who listens to Dr. Fauci going to do anything with such a pamphlet except throw it in the garbage? No, IMHO, the very first thing we need to do is convince people that medicine is being censored. We need to convince people that early treatment for Covid-19 is being deliberately suppressed. If we can do that, they'll take the next step: they'll ask why.
In any case, one reason I don't participate so much in Matthew's other noble projects is that we don't need a few people to see and understand a lot; we need a lot of people to see and understand a little. Think about it.
