Thank you for all your hard work. Some of us greatly appreciate your integrity and think the only way forward is to get the absolute truth.

There is simply no such thing as "the absolute truth" on issues as complex as these. However, calling out the lies and misdirections and political manipulations is absolutely essential, for those of use who want the best available truth.

As for the political outcomes? It's not simple either, because it has much more to do with appearances alliances and narrative control. The mere appearance of falsehood can discredit. The appearance of truth has some power, but so does raw shock. For those incapable of evaluating the evidence themselves (which is most people, including most who hold powerful positions, regardless of their intentions or alignments) the appearance of truth and the allocation of trust has more to do with endorsements and credentials.

Mathew clearly believes in data-driven decision making. It's served him well enough in finance. I think he's learning how the world doesn't generally work that way.

But I'm still cheering him on, and will do what I can to spread this story.

"I think he's learning how the world doesn't generally work that way."

Why try to speak for me? This is the opposite of what I've said about my finance career, which is that I became the exceptional trader by figuring out who was running scams or where there were structural weaknesses.

This isn't a story of people making decisions that don't fit data. This is a story of politics in a supposed truth movement trying to memory hole the truth. That's the tactic of the system we are up against.

Interpret as you like from there, but don't make it up if you haven't done the reading.

I appreciate the reply. I'm not trying to speak for you. In finance, you can end-run some of the bullshit by just making money: money talks. Not every sector has that shortcut.

You're welcome to your interpretation of "the story", but I'd like to think of you as broad-minded enough to accommodate the existence of other valid perspectives.

I think there is always an absolute truth... it might just be so complex and out of reach that we will never really nail it with our resources... best we can hope for is to get close.

Excellent article Matthew . . shame there is such division in the community . . it would be helpful to all pull in the same direction . . however I will say that alot of people will read & not fully understand these substacks [ myself included ] which is where I find Stew Peters & others more simplistic views quite helpful. We already know "Covid vaccines" are bad - but do the details really matter so much? For most people it's just a binary decision, informed consent - should I take it or not!.

"please write a post on what your general sense was when you worked on the Human Genome Project?"

LOL. Wow, you're fishing.

I didn't even know there was an organized Human Genome Project until 1995 when it was nearly done (the primary steps). I wasn't sure what to do with myself during the Summer between HS and college, so I applied for a Howard Hughes internship at Wash U. and was one of the dozen selected. But I was the opposite of the others---mostly math and little bio. So, I was asked into a statistical genetics lab under a guy named David States (and Pankaj Agarwal) where I was asked to come up with a function that compute the run time algorithm for BLAST.

I finished that in a hour and most most of the summer chasing girls.

What did I think of the HGP? I was a 17 yo kid. I thought, "I guess this is one of those milestones, but it's probably not the career I'm interested in." If I sit and think back, I could probably go a little deeper than that, but it was a weird experience insofar as the lab didn't know what to do with me, so I didn't get much mentorship. I think they thought my project would take me the whole six weeks. I spent some time teaching stats modeling to a few bio professors, time reading in the library, and playing frisbee.

For ex. I'm told that Marc Girardot used to work at Booz Hamilton, which is interesting.

Sadly, our "side" doesn't seem to care about communicating well about data. I've been slammed a few times without explanation, rather than any explanation or conversation. It's baffling. More than that, I worry that it's the work of Chaos Agents, and perhaps even scripted. This is why Hero Ball needs to be abandoned. People are simply going to have to learn as much as they can from many sources, then be local teachers in their communities among those who will listen.

At a Christmas party last night, with a theme of “Festivus” from a Dec. 18th, 1997 show on Seinfeld where an “airing of grievances” around the dinner table about how others disappointed you over the past year. At the party we were to write briefly on a piece of paper something that was disappointing or you had a grievance about!!! I wrote about how I had been perceived as a “conspiracy theorist” by so-called friends who mostly refused to even listen to what I had to say this past year about covid, jabs, injuries etc. However, last night it seemed more ppl were slightly open to discussion on the topics. One lady who works at a pediatric clinic discussed how there had been much sickness among children and hospitalizations. She also discussed how unusual in the spring all the flu & respiratory cases. When I mentioned I believed it was bc of the massive jabbing (Van Bossche) that had led to many variants that normally would have taken a 1,000 years to accumulate plus the damage to immune systems to jabbing kids was unnecessary due to almost no risks with covid. She reverted to “we all have opinions”, but at least she listened for a short while. Perhaps, finally, truth can’t be hidden any longer!

We do all have opinions, and we should generally listen.

Note: I do not subscribe to Geert's theories beyond a basic point. I think he has contradicted himself at times, and at others completely discarded facts that point to other theories. I no longer believe in the variant emergence in the same way I did previously, and it's not even clear to me that it's the virus causing most of the damage (I have multiple hypotheses without good enough information to choose between them).

Geert should be more skeptically questioned.

I think we may have experience multiple controlled pathogenic releases. Omicron looks very far evolutionarily from SARS-CoV-2 strains prior that the math does not easily work out for sudden emergence. It was also found in GISAID on June 17, 2021, then deleted. Hmmm.

This is why conversation is good. We may be subject to layered psyops and fed one pole at a time to dance around in order to keep us ignorant. For all we know, the coronaviruses are controlled releases along with bacteria as in Operation Sea Spray. It might even be that the bacteria is what makes us sickest. The majority of people who died from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 died from pneumonia.

As did those in 1918-19. Very interesting conjecture here, Mathew. Multiple releases in multiple places over time of a not-very-virulent pathogen, combined with magaphoned-from-the-rooftops fear porn after five years of 24/7 TDS. No wonder so many are beleaguered. And wishing saviors. And believing grifters who speak well and appear to be on our team. Were I rich, I would fund the gargantuan task of FOIAing the military. Aaron Siri has done great work in this regard to the "health" agencies.

The Spanish flu saw 80% die from pneumonia. During C19 pandemic, it's 50%, but I bet it's closer to 80% or even above if we skim out the asymptomatic "positive test" deaths. This is why I took John Cullen seriously, even though I don't think he has fully developed the range of hypotheses or done the work to distinguish between them.

Then there is the Operation Sea Spray story and the fact that Congression reports note numerous suspicious pneumonia outbreaks over the years that hover around military bases. Is it the virus, or is it the bacteria?!

It might very well be that we've been fooled into thinking the damage is mostly the virus (which is perhaps harmful to a small, select population) when the bacteria (plus lack of treatment with antibiotics) is the larger part of the illness.

I remain open to various hypotheses.

I would not have known how common such programs were, but I've grown toward that belief myself (moderate to high probability) and that this is the case. Operation Sea Spray is well documented, but as I worked through Congressional and other documents, there is evidence of dozens to hundreds of similar introductions of biological agents into the American population alone. This doesn't even count the potential that we're doing it to other nations, too.

I do too! I think it was a aerosoled release of nanoparticles. A bioweapon. I truly think Karen Kingston is on to the truth. Makes the most sense to me. When they isolated the original Wuhan strain from a half dozen people or so, none of them matched. Why? Also, it seems like the vaccines themselves created the variants. She is very disappointed at the weak and misguided arguments that attorneys are making. I am looking forward to who may be stepping up to join her team. She made an announcement on a recent Greg Hunters interview that in January some people are stepping up publicly.

I agree it’s possible different releases of whatever have occurred. Although Omicron appeared less deadly but more rampant and some felt a blessing. At least last year.

Do you believe the spike protein is the primary toxin that wreaks havoc on the Endothelial tissue all throughout the body that was instructed by mRNA in the jabs to make SP???

I have (thru my hundreds of hours of reading about spike protein) come to the conclusion it IS a toxin and have never understood why they “chose” it as their antigen target. Nothing I have read about it has shown that it is innocuous. I’m left to conclude it was intentional. What does that say about those who invented this “vaccine”. Hey guys!

I hear you about not fully understanding the depth of details .. I don't feel nearly confident explaining what's known and unknown about the DMED data, while getting into the numbers, and how that information came to be, despite Mathew's best attempts to make this info understandable to laypeople. *But, I do know that if he deems the numbers people are running with to be not reliable, and that roads point to the contractor Unissant, then that's important.

And from understanding the meta levels of information much better than the details, it feels really clear that if inaccurate data is presented by a movement that the powerful want to discredit, using that inaccurate data is a gift to the covid criminals and the media who do their work for them.

And if someone shares info that's not accurate, and makes claims that can't be supported (like Stew Peters), then even if they do say some things that are true, it's hard to know what's what. Anything from sources like that need to be double checked, again. I'd rather just go to sources who are super solid to begin with. Like Mathew, and Dr Meryl Nass ...

One binary is to take these "vaccines" or not (not!), but another is - are there strong enough legal cases to bring this entire house of fraud down? There are great and successful cases against mandates, against overriding parental knowledge, etc .. But this might be another level of a powerful strategy ...

I also did not share that video but for different reasons. I felt all the conspiracy theories should have been kept out of it. It was very sensationalized. Then they put the part In there with Gates which we all know was cut and spliced to make it sound like Gates actually said the vaccines would depopulate. Sorry I don’t have the exact wording he used in that video but it was debunked and then to use it in the movie. I’m trying to convince people we are telling the truth. Using data that is not right or video that’s been edited improperly does not help our case!! It gives the bad guys ammunition against us!! We can’t afford to do that!!

Expand full comment

Yes .. I remember early in the pandemic when I first heard that Bill Gates thing, if we vaccinate, we can get the population down ... I could believe maybe he wanted to depopulate, but not that he would state it so clearly.

(Shameful, cringeworthy confession ... long, long ago, in 2020, I would check Snopes, with some skepticism, but with no idea what lying slime they are.) They had a sensible sounding explanation for why Gates said that .. if families don't loose so many children to preventable diseases, they wouldn't have so many children to begin with. Regardless of if these vaccines do more harm than good, that basic meaning of the statement makes sense. Snopes is probably right on that one. Maybe (maybe), it was even said with anticipation of "conspiracy theorists" jumping on it, only to be easily debunked.

But after that, anyone who made the claim that they want to depopulate and cited that Gates statement, I would consider not a reliable source. Probably many others felt the same ...

Expand full comment

Your comment is right on - that we don't need perfect information to know we're being attacked, that each person contributes to the discussion in their own way, and that it takes skillful means, including beneficial lies, to move the majority. The ends often do justify the means. Details are less important than winning hearts and minds in every emergency situation.

But in this case, important details in DMED provide evidence of fraud and intent, which expands the context of our situation beyond covid to the directed evil of engineered totalitarianism. This changes everything.

People are sleepwalking into totalitarianism because we believe our apparent loss of control and integrity and freedom is random, that everything will return to normal if we are patient. We don't yet see the emergency.

We don't realize we're returning to our multi-thousand years of historically normal slavery and serfdom, after two hundred years of aberrant freedom.

The covid Narrative was carefully planned - it was not "a series of human mistakes and poor judgment, typical of ordinary people doing their best." (Desmet)

Mathew's details of the DMED data plainly show the smoking gun of intent. Everyone should be paying attention. Intent also gives weight to Dr. Breggin's analysis that Desmet, at least inadvertently, is a chaos agent.

"but do the details really matter so much?"

I agree that they don't matter at all with respect to the questions "Should we research to see if these adverse advents are being caused by the vaccine? And if so, with what rate?" The answer to those questions is obviously "yes," IMO. So the seeming absolute disinterest or aversion to those questions by HHS, Congress and State legislators is enough to tell me that we are probably in a kind of struggle for our very health and survival.

Anyone paying attention knows you are correct. The huge numbers in the corrupted DMED data doesn’t match the general population of injuries and deaths we can all observe.

Hearing loss, balance issues, sore ribcage, pink eye, shingles, myocarditis -- again all zero degrees of separation. I know multiple others dead one degree of separation.

Happy Christmas Mathew. Going on Alex Jones would be preaching to the choir (like Died Suddenly) and would only damage your reputation in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I listened to InfoWars every day for years, they seriously got me on track as to what was really going on in the world. They have always been principled - anti-war, anti-fiat money and anti-corruption. I've spoken to Alex before on his show and some of his co-presenters. I think they are genuine people, although they are humans and imperfect and I literally told Alex he was a crap radio host and should focus on making documentaries and let better people be the on-air talent once. Constructive criticism. He wasn't happy with me but David Knight got his own show a week later (as I suggested) so who knows?

Alex is one of the worst interviewers in the universe, he constantly interrupts, puts words in other people's mouths and just can't keep his mouth shut. He's his own worst enemy.

Well-made documentaries with easily clippable facts for viral purposes may be the only way forward. Normies can't handle truth, complicated data or even the evidence of their own eyes. It takes a huge amount of work to wake people up, and even when you finally get that epiphany, most people are so scared they go into ostrich mode and don't want to think about it anymore.

The task is so enormous it may be insurmountable, but I've been at this for two decades now and I haven't given up, because the alternative is too horrific to contemplate. Think 1984 on steroids.

Shoot James Corbett an email, THAT would be a useful interview.

Hi mate, happy New Year.

I have given this comment a huge amount of mental space over the last few days. Thank you. It's very important.

I just posted the following on the "Lies are Unbecoming" Sub. I think this pretty much summarizes where I am right now. Your comments are appreciated. I want to be useful and helpful in this. I want the truth and I actually care about our community and about people like yourself. If I have anything wrong, correct me immediately. I'm here to learn. But I'm also not stupid and have given "the resistance" plan after plan over the last three years, all of which got totally ignored and would likely have worked, daggnamit. 🙂

"Incredible, thank you. The truth behind this scam is so complicated, but I believe we are getting there. Many of us are increasingly on the same lines, and I think we are getting close to what happened. As an (ancient) historian by training, I remember telling my lecturer early on that my opinion of "experiencing the past" was basically impossible as historians, but a forensic investigation into the primary, secondary and tertiary evidence could get us close to what actually happened (I thought it would be useful to define my version of "historiography" to my colleagues).

This may be the first case in history where the crime is so "scientific" in nature, that we can pretty much explain EXACTLY what these bastards did. It's almost unbelievable to me. Their own published papers are basically confession statements.

I'm seriously wondering if the infectious clones hypothesis, that Baric and his ilk clearly worked on with MERS - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24043791/ - is the reason you can't order purified SARS-CoV-2 from a virologist company. It's all just sampled BS from tissue. If the real releases were from infectious clone cDNA, then yeah, sampling an entirely synthetic construct in RNA form is going to be kinda difficult. The "Covid doesn't exist" people may actually have a point.

I had kind of worked this out in my own layman-like stupid way over the last few months by really examining the quasi-species swarm theory and the fact that only 10-15% of the population could only be infected by any "variant" (I have come to the conclusion that "herd immunity" is a lot of bollocks - ask me why if you want). I also updated these meanderings on an Igor Chudov thread where I explained that I thought the "sub-variants" were just over-amplified PCR-induced "noise" due to replication incompetence creating "snowflakes" in people, but in enough quantity for it to be statistically meaningful to these so called "virologists". Not bad for someone who has no clue what they are talking about. 😂

The work you, Crawford, Couey, Morey, Ark, etc has been doing is immense. I highly recommend doing a round-table to discuss all your findings (harvard2thebighouse was talking about a lot of this stuff before anyone, but I don't know to what extent he was ill-informed by three letter agencies). Even Ron Unz might be a useful add, as his take is broadly unique (the US attacked China with a bioweapon and the US was aware but China was somehow oblivious, then the Iranian leaders started being killed by it), although I highly doubt he has any knowledge of what we are now talking about (but Unz is a theoretical physicist so he's hardly stupid, just saying).

This would be incredibly productive for our "truth movement", rather than concentrate on what is rapidly becoming "medical freedom movement" and "Substack" drama. 2023 is going to be a dark place for this community if we aren't careful, and if that happens, all the good work all of us have done (writers and commentators) is going to be completely wasted. Mark my words, this always happens in fringe movements that are dangerous to the powers that be. Sleeper cells and bad actors are everywhere. Your options are: become a paranoid freak or get productive. You have been warned. I've seen all this before and it's all so tiresome.

What I would like to see is a timeline of what happened and when. I believe, in terms of "Covid" infections, we can start from Ark's Samoa measles outbreak and move from there. If we can construct a pretty much perfect timeline (to our knowledge) this would probably crack this case open. This would be the perfect tool to share with alt-media and if we could somehow explain it to normies, the jig would be up.

Maybe I'm naive. If you don't have hope then why live, so why not give it a shot. Otherwise there's a digital panoptigon enslavement plantation in your future.

My questions at this stage:

- How are they seeding the infectious clones globally (anecdotally I'm guessing "chemtrails" and am willing to put money on that's why they bothered to track deer Covid cases in the US in the first place)

- Is it the case that they basically got to the point where they can engineer a coronavirus "backbone" to deliver whatever "payload" they want (e.g. measles, spike protein, RSV) via the infectious clone technology? All they appear to be doing effectively, is slicing viruses into segments, then rejoining them with DNA instead of RNA, to make them more replication competent.

- If the Sinovac "vaccine" is purified, inactivated virus, how does that work in this model? Is it just BS, is it the real deal, is it just RNA mush? This has always been my chief argument against the "Covid doesn't exist"/"viruses don't exist crowd".

Anyway, thanks for your time mate. You are an extremely smart guy (takes one to know one 🙂) and I think we need to focus on the achievables rather than the negatives. Just my two cents.

I agree completely. I've learned more in the last three weeks than I have in the last year about this topic. But I was talking more in terms of the premise than the specifics. And the bottom line is we need to reach the normies.

In this game of association it may be wise to avoid AJ show, sure it will reach many people, but those aren't the people that need to be convinced, they already are, and then this information will be associated with a dismisable crowd, and then dismissed.

FWIW I think you have to assume that risk should you get the opportunity. Alex Jones is attacked mercilessly because he is effective. The more effective you are, the more the cathedral will target you. To be concerned with associating yourself with people who have questionable character like Stew Peters and Patricia Rodriguez is totally sound. I think avoiding folks like AJ just because of how they are perceived by normies isn't as reasonable (assuming you agree that AJ has good character, I defer to Barnes on this, as I do with many things).

I think the AJ question is a topic-by-topic question (with respect to perception). No matter what anyone tells me, it's something I'd have to meditate on before having a strong opinion about. And while I really like Barnes (he might be my only paid Locals subscription...or one of two, maybe?), I prefer to make decisions that involve anything like game theoretic elements after giving them my own deep thought. This isn't about whether Jones has been generally right in his investigation of secret world powers.

I certainly understand your concern. It would give you a great deal of exposure. I have been listening to Alex off and on for 15 years. I listen because no one gives the analysis he does. Not sure what to make of him. Either someone is feeding him the future or he is pretty good at seeing what is coming. Your exposure would go up exponentially. Not sure if Alex would want you to correct the “good guys” on his show. But I think he has done stuff like that before. Not sure if you have ever heard of Jeff Rense, but he immediately said that Stew Peters was a Deep State plant. He is also suspicious of Malone - from the beginning.

I admire you for standing up to the truth. Agree completely that we only hurt ourselves if we intentionally exaggerate findings. Exaggeration of lies is wrong. And so is exaggeration of the truth. At this point, we have to question the motives of anyone, including Kirsch, if he is unwilling to openly discuss and explain why he refuses to engage with you.

None of us is perfect about all this, but there are simple mistakes and there are mistakes that could unravel everything. I worry that some in our community are approaching the latter.

Thank you Matthew! In this post you made the situation you describe understandable to me and I so appreciate it!!! In your previous posts I had a hard time following your points on this issue. This post brought your position home for me. I very much appreciate your diligent efforts to bring the truth out! You have remarkable skill and tenacity for the truth even when no reward is forthcoming. Huge gratitude to you! Please always keep attempting to make this important information understandable to people like me. I've been studying the vaccine issue every day for hours for 12 years. My background and education has absolutely nothing to do with analyzing big data sets. I wish it did! Again, thank you! I am going to contact Del Bigtree's group (on their website, I have no special connections) at The Highwire to attempt to inspire them to interview you to get the most accurate take on the DMED data out to the public. I will also contact Mary Holland at CHD as she has been appreciative and has taken action in the past when I make suggestions.

I want to say I don’t understand why they continue to push the wrong information. I want to believe that everyone in the MFM truly cares about our military and about honesty. I have watched this 11 months of your frustration from the sidelines & cussed and thrown things against the wall on your behalf. I can only imagine your frustration. I almost wonder if your appearance on Alex Jones or perhaps Glenn Beck would be a way to bring this forward. It would be much harder for the idiot brigade(s) to claim they don’t know if you were on there.

I doubt I'll get many invites, though I was invited on Brighteon after my first article. I might do that, but at the same time, I'm so flooded with projects and preserving energy seems crucial. I just agreed a few days ago to do some data work/presentation for a documentary and I probably have no more than two weeks to do it. I'm still learning data presentation tools since I'd allowed those skills to be disused for 20-something years (aside from vector graphics for textbook/curriculum development).

I may be able to hire an employee part time in a few months, but that's a ways out, still.

Propaganda, personal interests, and ambitions, they've all been rampant, on all sides, since early 2020 (or before). I've long wondered which were real and which were show, even after a career in medicine and public health, and as a consumer of the DMED database. Some assertions just weren't provable, so I set them aside. (The first one I remember wondering about was that Chinese doctor who made videos of 'the horror, the horror,' and then was said to have died.) I think it's been a free-for-all for professionals and amateurs in psyops. We should only seek to know the truth, based on facts and disinterested analysis. Real science, in other words.

Thanks for your tenacity on this issue. It speaks volumes about your character. You're absolutely correct - the truth does matter.

I must admit that it took me a while to see this as an important issue. My reasoning was that even if Congress could be spurred into investigating this matter, those involved, even if it went as high as the commander-in-chief, would be able to effectively guide the outcome by claiming "We had to do it for national security. We couldn't afford to reveal Covid impacts on our armed forces to our adversaries". I honestly think most people would accept such an explanation.

What I'm starting to wonder based on the amount of resistance you are encountering is if the order to revise the database came from OUTSIDE the chain of command. If some private organization/individual told Unnisant to change the data and they complied, well that just opens up a big ole can of worms if it ever sees the light of day.

"he told me by phone that he wanted to express the numbers as '113.5% of previous numbers'" . . .

Know it, learn it, live it: Every trial lawyer, always and everywhere, seeks to present his argument in the most compelling way possible. It's salesmanship, because at the end of the day, in any trial, the lawyer is a salesman selling a vacuum cleaner. This is not to say that he is selling a vacuum cleaner that doesn't work or that isn't worth buying, but he will make the strongest possible sales pitch available. "113.5% of previous numbers" is more compelling that a "13.5% increase." Perhaps it is because it does confuse the listener, but it is not inaccurate and *it is what lawyers do,* and those who don't do this, lose.

It is the opposing lawyer's job to defuse such characterizations on cross examination, e.g., "Q: So, Dr. So and So, you testified earlier to an increase of 113.5% of previous numbers? That's really just a 13.5% increase, isn't it?" "A: Yes." "Q: So why didn't you say that?" "A: [either clever rejoinder or awkward rationalization, depending on witness preparation]." "Q: So a 13.5% increase means a total likelihood of X%, isn't it?" "A: Yes." "Q: And that increased figure still results in an overall likelihood of [small overall percentage], correct?" "A: Yes." "Q: And the likelihood of no adverse reaction is [100% - small percentage], correct?" "A: Yes." And so on. Then the other party rehabilitates and shores up his position on re-direct examination. And so on.

I think there is likely more to it due to the money raising aspect, but I'll save that for a future article.

Expand full comment

Maybe, but he's still a lawyer operating on a habit of mind developed over many years of practice. He won't change his approach because his purpose is "raising awareness" (i.e. money) rather than winning in court.

His switching from 113.5% of previous numbers to 113.5% increase is either dishonest or sloppy. Busy lawyers can make honest mistakes just by misremembering the details of their cases. That's not an excuse, simply a fact. (One really has no idea how much work goes into presenting a court case unless one actually does it. It looks easy on TV but the buildup can be grueling and errors [hopefully manageable] are inevitable.) But then some lawyers are just slimy. It's hard to know sometimes the reason for a distortion like that. A lawyer with a long track record of distortions case after case is probably a slimeball. A lawyer who presents an occasional distortion might have just screwed up.

Lawyer logic is very different than quant logic or science logic.

But we all know which wields more political power.

Politics rules over it all, and uses experts and their logic as fungible tools.

It's not the world I'd like to live in. But that's what I observe.

Describing the status quo as the future is defeatist and demoralizing.

How you got "describing the future" from what I actually wrote is beyond me.

The future is written on top of the present, Mat. And that's written on top of many layers of past.

If you want to shape the future, you'd do well to come to terms with some unpleasant present realities.

Nice work, Mathew. It is very rare that an attorney working without a mentor can graduate from law school, pass the bar and step right into a highly developed legal practice. Not impossible, but rare. A polymath (like you to be honest) could do it, but not many others. In my experience a lawyer with 7 to 10 years experience starts to catch on and can offer value to a client. Less than that and the value proposition is lacking.

I plan to write more about this point, and specific aspects of it, in the future.

It is surprising how little skepticism there is of the Andrew Huff story, and why it would be attached to a lawyer with little experience, and no whistleblower experience in particular, prior to the pandemic.

We covered that. But to Huff, it may seem like a "fishing expedition".

One person's "Dark Conspiracy" is another's "Chaos Agent".

I will confess that the ones who fixate on the "controlled opposition" reflexively seem to be Malone, Huff, and you, Mathew Crawford.

Personally, I think that term is way overblown, but it's curious how Malone immediately went to that term with Berenson.
