Was the COVID Plandemic Always a CIA Plot?

From [HERE] According to newly released emails, the United States Intelligence Community, led by the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, held regular meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric, one of America’s leading coronavirus experts, since at least 2015. 

Senator Rand Paul’s office has worked for years to obtain the documents. 

Baric has been accused of engineering the Covid-19 virus in his lab at the University of North Carolina, but he has never had to testify about his role in the pandemic despite his well-documented collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 

The newly released emails reveal that the CIA hoped to discuss “Coronavirus evolution and possible natural human adaptation with Baric” and that Baric held quarterly meetings with members of the Intelligence Community. 

These emails are just the latest additions to the suspicious amalgamation of facts implicating the US Intelligence Community’s role in the origins of the pandemic, as discussed in The Covid Response at Five Years.

A very brief overview of the timeline suggests that the CIA and the Intelligence Community are implicated in the creation of the virus, a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and censorship to evade any public scrutiny for their role in the pandemic. 

  • 2015: The Intelligence Community held quarterly meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric and discussed “possible human adaptation” to coronavirus evolution. 

  • 2019-2020: The CIA had a spy working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology doing “both offensive and defensive work” with pathogens, according to Seymour Hersh. That asset reports in early 2020 that there was a laboratory accident that resulted in the infection of a researcher. 

  • March 18, 2020: The Department of Homeland Security replaced Health and Human Services as the lead Federal Agency responding to Covid, as explained in depth in Debbie Lerman’s The Deep State Goes Viral

  • Spring 2020: The CIA offered bribes to scientists to bury their findings refuting the “proximal origin” theory advanced by Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to a whistleblower. The House Oversight Committee explains: “According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.” Then, however, the “six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position.”

  • 2020: Dr. Fauci began holding secret meetings at CIA headquarters “without a record of entry” in order to “influence its Covid-19 origins investigation,” according to a whistleblower. “He knew what was going on…He was covering his ass and he was trying to do it with the Intel community,” the whistleblower told Congress.”

  • 2021: Scientists in the Department of Defense compiled significant evidence suggesting Covid emerged from a lab leak, but President Biden’s Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, banned them from presenting their evidence or participating in a discussion on the origins of the virus.

  • 2021: CISA, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, implemented a program known as “switchboarding,” where officials dictated to Big Tech platforms what content is permissible or prohibited speech. 

  • 2022: The Department of Homeland Security announced it will establish a “Disinformation Governance Board.” The Ministry of Truth is only discontinued when the absurdity of its chief censor, Nina Jankowicz, receives sufficient blowback from the public. [MORE]

The DOJ is Prosecuting a Drug Kingpin, Blah, Blah, Blah

From [HERE] The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) was patting itself on the back with gusto last week in publicizing it is prosecuting alleged drug kingpin Zhi Dong Zhang upon his extradition from Mexico. The prosecution is a really big deal in the US government’s effort to win the war on drugs according to the assertions of several government employees in the DOJ press release.

In reality, the hoopla is just more “blah, blah, blah” in support of a destructive drug war that continues to cause much harm while failing to achieve its stated objectives including the reduction of drug use and threats to safety. . . .

For someone with limited familiarity with the US drug war, these statements may be convincing that a major victory in the “war” is being accomplished that will lead to a diminishing of drug use and problems associated with it. However, the truth is very different. People who have followed the US war on drugs know that the comments of the various government employees in the press release are just a bunch of “blah, blah, blah” that can be ignored. Been there, done that. The US government has indicted and convicted many kingpins over the decades without it reducing drug use, helping drug users, or making America safer or more free. Rather, these and other enforcement efforts encompassed in the drug war have contributed to increased dangers for drug users and have, as libertarian communicator Ron Paul has been arguing for decades, made America more dangerous and less free while failing to reduce the supply of drugs.

In his February of 2014 Future of Freedom Foundation editorial “Yawn. Another Big Drug Bust,” Jacob G. Hornberger laid out the logic and history of why it is wrong to think that the arrest, indictment, incarceration, or killing of a drug kingpin, be it Zhang last week or another such as Joaquin Guzman Loera at the time Hornberger wrote his editorial, will do anything to help the American people. “[B]usting a big drug lord or some drug gang reaps nothing but a lot of publicity for the drug warriors,” concluded Hornberger. It instead is part of a larger effort — the war on drugs — that causes many harms that people wrongly blame on drugs.[MORE]

New Survey Finds that 1 in 10 Adults in the UD were Seriously Injured by a COVID Injection

From [HERE] One in every 10 U.S adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experienced “major” side effects, and over a third (36%) suffered “minor” side effects, according to a national survey conducted this month.

Based on a U.S. adult population of 258 million in 2020, the results mean that about 17 million adults who got the COVID-19 vaccine experienced major health effects, and roughly 63 million had minor side effects, said Rasmussen Reports, which conducted the survey.

The survey, which included 1,292 adults and had a margin sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence level, also revealed that 46% of both vaccinated and unvaccinated adults think it’s likely that COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths.

The numbers come as no surprise to Christopher Dreisbach, legal affairs director of React19, whose mission is to support the COVID-19 vaccine-injured. He told The Defender:

“Any surprise regarding the frequency and severity of these adverse reactions is simply the result of years of government and platform-level censorship that kept the injured’s experiences out of public view.”

Dreisbach was diagnosed with a debilitating and painful neurological disorder after getting Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Kristi Dobbs, who was also seriously injured when she took her first and only Pfizer COVID-19 shot on Jan. 18, 2021, said the U.S. government has yet to ensure that this kind of massive vaccine injury won’t happen again in the future.

With the exceptions of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who have been outspoken on COVID-19 vaccine injuries, most government officials are “hoping we will just be silenced and forgotten about,” Dobbs said.

She said she and others have been “shouting from the rooftops” since February 2021, when a group of them warned the National Institutes of Health that the shots were causing massive harm.

Since then, Dobbs has personally contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Stanford University and the Mayo Clinic.

“My cries have fallen on deaf ears for years,” she said. “The vaccine-injured are still hurting, dying and being discarded as trash.” [MORE]

Data Suggest COVID Injections May Have Contributed to Germany’s 2023 Surge in Excess Mortality

From [HERE] A new analysis in Royal Society Open Science found that Germany’s excess mortality surged in 2023 even as COVID-19 infections and deaths declined. The authors report that vaccination rates were the only factor that consistently tracked with the increase, though they stressed that the study doesn’t establish causation.

Professor Christof Kuhbandner, at the University of Regensburg in Germany, and Professor Matthias Reitzner, at Osnabrück University in Germany, published “Regional patterns of excess mortality in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic: a state-level analysis” in Royal Society Open Science in September.

Using actuarial life-table methods and population-adjusted expected-death modeling, the authors examined excess mortality across Germany’s 16 federal states from April 2020 to March 2023 to determine which factors — COVID-19 infections, deaths, vaccination rates, demographics or policy — best explain mortality patterns.

Their most controversial finding: in the third pandemic year, excess mortality rose sharply while COVID-19 deaths declined, creating a statistical decoupling that correlated positively with vaccination rates, even after adjusting for prior-year mortality.

While no causation is established, the correlations are nonetheless troubling.

Study design: State-level excess mortality across three ‘pandemic years’

This observational modeling study analyzed mortality data for three periods:

  • P1: April 2020-March 2021

  • P2: April 2021-March 2022

  • P3: April 2022-March 2023

Researchers computed expected deaths using 2017-2019 life tables, applied federal-state mortality correction factors and correlated excess mortality with: COVID-19 deaths, PCR-confirmed cases, vaccination rates (double and triple), age structure, poverty, GDP, trust in institutions and policy stringency.

The authors also used change-score models and ANCOVA to control for time-invariant confounders and prior-year excess mortality.

Findings: Early COVID death correlation, later decoupling and a vaccine paradox

  1. First two years: Excess mortality correlated strongly with COVID-19 deaths (r = 0.96 and r = 0.89). Yet COVID-19 deaths greatly exceeded excess deaths (e.g., 78,185 COVID-19 deaths vs. 22,405 excess deaths in P1). The study suggests misclassification or pandemic-measure effects as possible explanations.

  2. Third year: A “new driver” emerged. COVID-19 deaths dropped, infections fell, but excess mortality jumped from ~26,973 to ~78,493. Correlations with COVID-19 outcomes dissolved (r = 0.32, ns).

  3. Vaccination correlation:

    1. In P3, higher vaccination rates correlated with higher excess mortality (r = 0.65, p = 0.006).

    2. Change-score analysis for P2→P3 yielded r = 0.93, p < 0.001, even after adjusting for prior mortality.

    3. Higher vaccination states also saw smaller declines in COVID-19 deaths and case fatality rates. [MORE]

UK Government Wins 2-Year Battle to Conceal Data Linking COVID Shots to Excess Deaths

From [HERE] The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is not required to publicize data that may link COVID-19 vaccines to an increase in excess deaths in the United Kingdom during the pandemic, following a ruling last week by the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office.

The ruling, which concludes a two-year battle for the release of the data, has led to accusations of a “cover-up,” according to The Telegraph, which first reported the story.

In 2023, UsForThem, a nonprofit advocacy group, requested the data under the country’s freedom of information laws. However, UKHSA challenged the request, citing concerns that releasing the data could fuel “misinformation” and cause “distress” to the vaccine-injured.

In a statement provided to The Defender, Luke Weeks, senior communications manager at UKHSA’s press office, said:

“Protecting patient confidentiality is of critical importance. Releasing this data presented a real possibility that it could be used to identify individuals, which could result in significant distress.

“UKHSA provided a carefully anonymised version of the dataset that removed the risk of identification. We welcome the decision of the tribunal to dismiss the appeal.”

UKHSA previously told the Information Commissioner’s Office that releasing the data may lead to “distress or anger” on the part of the relatives of the deceased and that the figures might be used to fuel “misinformation” about the COVID-19 vaccines, potentially fueling vaccine hesitancy.

According to TrialSite News, UKHSA’s “single justification — fear of public reaction — is now driving intense criticism.”

Dr. Angus Dalgleish, a medical oncologist at St. George’s, University of London, called the decision to withhold the data “a ridiculous cover-up.”

“The excuse of [vaccine] confidence is patently absurd,” Dalgleish said.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who is chief medical adviser to Make Europe Healthy Again (MEHA) and medical adviser to MAHA Action, said the decision to withhold the data is “appalling,” as the data “would very likely make the link between the COVID jabs and excess deaths.”

Malhotra said this is “not the first time” that U.K. government health agencies “have been involved in a cover-up.” He said the U.K.’s Department of Health and the country’s National Health Service “covered up the ambulance delays” that resulted in the 2021 death of his father, Dr. Kailash Chand, a general practitioner and former deputy chair of the British Medical Association.

‘Not having access to clear and concise data is what fuels misinformation’

TrialSite News noted that while it is impossible to claim with certainty that the data withheld by the UKHSA show a definitive link between COVID-19 vaccinations and an increase in excess deaths, “refusal to release the data suggests an unwillingness to examine the question openly.” [MORE]

Dr Russell Blaylock: Ignored Dangers of the COVID-19 injections

From [HERE] The ramifications of the unprecedented push to vaccinate the entire world with these dangerous and ineffective COVID-19 injections are in two categories – the seen and the unseen. The seen entails such things as a rising incidence of myocarditis, multifocal encephalitis, sudden adult death, a rising incidence of death in vaccinated toddlers and babies, death of babies breastfed by vaccinated mothers, the spread of the virus by the vaccinated among the population (shedding), and other obvious health catastrophes.

At the center of both the obvious and hidden ramifications of these injections is what will be the delayed effects of these injections. To understand this, first, we have to look at the biodistribution study done by the Pfizer pharmaceutical company which was purposefully hidden, not just from the public, but all scientists and physicians in the world. A freedom of information lawsuit was required to force Pfizer to release this study. When the study was examined, it immediately became obvious why they wished it to be hidden. The study, done on animals, demonstrated that once injected into the animals’ muscles, the nanolipid carrier containing the specifically engineered messenger RNA (mRNA) did not stay at the site of the injection, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Pfizer assured the public it did, rather within 48 h this spike protein producing creation was distributed throughout the body. Further, these nanolipid carriers were found in the highest concentration in the female ovaries and the bone marrow of both sexes. High concentrations were also found in the endothelial cells lining all blood vessels, the liver, spleen, the heart, and kidneys, with lesser concentrations in the brain. In addition, the nanolipid carrier itself was found to be toxic and inflammatory.

What I wish to address in this essay are some of the possible less obvious ramifications of these injections. First on the list, will be the contamination of the blood supply using blood donated by the vaccinated. As an introduction to the subject let us first review the skeptical responses from the orthodox supporters of “safe and effective” vaccines. [MORE]

FDA Chief: Fauci ‘100% Involved” In “Massive” COVID-19 Origins Cover-Up

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary accused former top health official Dr. Anthony Fauci of orchestrating a “massive cover-up” of the origins of Covid-19. In an interview with “Pod Force One” podcast, Makary said that Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease during the pandemic, worked to suppress the Wuhan lab-leak theory.

“One thing that’s extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up,” Makary, who previously served as a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, told host Miranda Devine.

“Whether or not he was involved in the experiments or funding the experiments that led to the origins of COVID, he was clearly 100% involved in the cover-up,” the FDA head added.

In 2023, the House Oversight Committee released evidence showing Fauci commissioned and approved a February 2020 scientific paper, “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,” which appeared aimed at refuting the lab-leak hypothesis. [MORE]

RichCraft: Who Really Owns America? The Banks, the Billionaires, and the Deep State

“The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything… It’s called the American Dream, ‘cause you have to be asleep to believe it.”—George Carlin

From [HERE] As President Trump floats the idea of 50-year mortgages, Americans are being sold a new version of the American Dream—one that can never truly be owned, only leased from the banks, billionaires, and private equity landlords who profit from our permanent state of debt.

Which begs the question: who owns America?

Is it the government? The politicians? The corporations? The foreign investors? The American people?

While the Deep State keeps the nation divided and distracted by circus politics, America is literally being bought and sold right out from under us.

Consider the facts.

Homeownership—the cornerstone of middle-class stability—is being transformed into a lifetime rental agreement. Cars, homes, and even college degrees have become indentured commodities in a debt-driven economy where the average American family serves as collateral for Wall Street’s profits.

This is not accidental.

It’s the natural evolution of an economy built to enrich the few at the expense of the many.

The American Dream has been repackaged as a subscription service—an illusion of ownership propped up by 0% down payments, predatory interest rates, and fine print that lasts a lifetime.

What used to be called “buying” is now simply renting from the future. [MORE]

The 2nd Amendment: America’s Timeless Equalizer for the Weak and Vulnerable

From [HERE] The right to keep and bear arms is not an outdated relic of the 18th century, as the anti-gun zealots want you to believe, but a safeguard of liberty and self-preservation.

Critics often portray the Second Amendment as a barrier to public safety, yet both history and reported weekly self-defense incidents confirm otherwise. The truth, when the media chooses to report these incidents, clearly establishes that our GOD-given right of self-defense remains a vital protection for all Americansespecially the weak and vulnerable who would otherwise be defenseless.

The Supreme Court has made clear that the Second Amendment protects an individual right. Our friend Dick Heller’s caseDistrict of Columbia v. Heller (2008), in which the Court struck down a handgun ban and affirmed that self-defense lies at the very core of the right to bear arms. That recognition was extended to the states in McDonald v. Chicago (2010)and reinforced again in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), which held that firearm regulations must be consistent with America’s historical tradition of gun ownership. The Court recognized that targeted restrictions are possible, as shown in United States v. Rahimi (2024). Still, it has never wavered from the principle that self-defense is central to the Second Amendment.

From John Locke’s writings on natural law to the Declaration of Independence’s recognition that men are “endowed by their Creator” with unalienable rights, the Founders understood that life cannot be secured without the means of defense. The Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776 directly tied the right to arms with personal and communal security. To disarm the people, in their view, would be to strip them of the very ability to preserve their lives and liberties.

These principles are not abstractions or the result of paranoia; they are seen in the lives of ordinary Americans who have relied on firearms to save themselves and others. These examples that the media often choose to ignore are far more common than reported.

  • In 2022, a young man in Indiana stopped a mass shooting at a mall within seconds, preventing untold carnage.

  • In 2024, 85-year-old Christine Jenneiahn, beaten and tied up by a home invader in Idaho, managed to reach her revolver and fatally stop the attacker, saving herself and her disabled son.

  • Across the country, armed school staff and resource officers have done the same for children: in 2024 at Apalachee High School in Georgia, two SROs rushed toward an active shooter armed with a rifle and put him in custody within minutes, saving lives.

  • In 2019, at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado, a private security guard detained a shooter during an attack, preventing further bloodshed. And in 2021, Sarasota County Officer Mary Thoroman calmly disarmed a student concealing a handgun in school, using training and quick judgment to prevent what could have become another tragedy.

Did the Vax Clot Shot Cause Deion Sanders’ Blood Clots? Hall of Famer Afflicted w/Health Issues Since Taking and PropAgendizing COVID Shots Designed to Cause Death, Cancers, Strokes, etc [Detox ASAP]

From [HERE] Video above provides information on how to Detox.

Doctors for COVID Ethics have been warning about the potential for gene-based COVID-19 “vaccines” to cause blood clots, cerebral vein thrombosis and sudden death

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to the ACE2 receptor on platelets. The subsequent activation of the platelets can lead to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), i.e., a pathological overstimulation of your coagulation system resulting in abnormal blood clotting, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and hemorrhaging

Research shows deaths are 14.6 times more frequent during the first 14 days after the first COVID injection among people over the age of 60, compared to those who aren’t vaccinated. Other data also show that after COVID-19 vaccines were implemented, overall death rates have, with few exceptions, increased

A key problem with all of these gene-based COVID-19 vaccines is that the spike protein itself appears toxic, and your body is now a spike protein-producing factory

Its inherent toxicity may be due to it being a prion protein. If so, we can expect these injections to cause all manner of prion diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) [MORE]

Johnson & Johnson Ordered to Pay $966 Million to Family of Woman Whose Deadly Cancer Was Linked to Baby Powder

From [HERE] A Los Angeles jury this month ordered Johnson & Johnson (J&J) to pay $966 million to the family of a woman who died in 2021 from mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer linked to asbestos exposure.

The family of California resident Mae More, who died at age 88, sued the company, alleging its talc-based baby powder products contained the asbestos that caused her cancer.

The jury ordered J&J to pay $16 million in compensatory damages and $950 million in punitive damages. It is the largest settlement yet awarded in a mesothelioma case against the company, handed down just days after a South Carolina jury rejected a similar claim.

Trey Branham, a lawyer for Moore’s family, told Reuters he is “hopeful that Johnson & Johnson will finally accept responsibility for these senseless deaths.”

Erik Haas, J&J’s vice president of litigation, said in a statement that the company plans to immediately appeal the verdict, which he called “egregious and unconstitutional.” U.S. Supreme Court rulings have generally capped punitive damages at nine times the amount of compensatory damages.

J&J maintains that its products are safe, do not contain asbestos and don’t cause cancer. However, the company stopped selling its talc-based baby powder in the U.S. in 2020, and ended global sales in 2023 after facing tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging that asbestos in the talc had caused mesothelioma, ovarian and other cancers.

It replaced the talc version of its powder with a cornstarch-based formula.

Internal memos showed that company officials worried for decades that the talc could be contaminated with asbestos, ​​and that J&J ramped up its marketing to African American womenand other high-use groups. [MORE]

The Idea of Protesting, Petitioning, and Voting for a Master as an Answer to Tyranny Is Beyond Asinine!

The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response. To beg for the blessing of “authority” is to accept that the choice is the master’s alone to make, which means that the person is already, by definition, a slave.”

~ Larken Rose

From [GARYBARNETT] The absolute obtuse reactions to tyranny by the common hordes continues to astound me. The ‘thinking’ (abject ignorance) of the masses continues to concentrate on ‘solutions’ dependent on their master’s whim, as the collective intellect is in an advanced state of degeneration. For decades I have attempted to get across the point that one cannot gain freedom by petitioning the very government that caused the loss of freedom in the first place. Yes, I do understand that government is not in charge, but is the pawn of the real power behind the throne, but with that said, the true controllers, who are few in number, could not rule without the middleman of government. Government is the conduit from the master class to the proletariat. Without government, and acceptance of government by the plebiscites, those few overlords would find it impossible to rule so many.

The fact that the people accept, obey, and bow down to government, expecting all along that they will be taken care of by their chosen (selected) masters, a total submission to the State, is in and of itself a testament to the fact that most of humanity has already accepted slavery as their lot in life. Most will aggressively disagree with this statement, but that is strictly due to a high level of long term indifference that was built into society via propaganda, indoctrination, and extreme brainwashing over generations. This would never have been possible in this country without the State prison systems called ‘public’ schools becoming the parents, guardians, and manipulators of children from near infancy to full adulthood. The result of this generational dumbing down, and training of students at the lowest common level, in order so that all would “fit in” to the sought-after system of only an ‘elite’ class and all the rest as peons, would be the AI, digitized, technocratic network being implemented today.

As I write this, there are headlines claiming that well over two million people have signed petitions in the UK against the digital ID system mandated by Prime Minister Starmer. What that means is that most all those are signing these so-called petitions digitally, and by providing personal information, email addresses, and location, while attempting to beg the very government ‘led’ by Starmer, to cease the implementation of the ID mandate. This is completely idiotic, as all these people are playing right into the hands of the monsters controlling them and digitizing their lives, while they are at the same time begging for freedom from them by using a digital system. As you can see, all logic has been replaced by mass stupidity.

Voting is no different, as it only entails the herds of  sheep who are labeled State (owned) ‘citizens,’ ‘choosing’ (not really) which master is to be their lord and savior. The absurdity of such a system is evident only to the very few who actually understand that all rule is evil, and those numbers of thinking individuals, are but an infinitesimal number of the whole of society. This is the reason that this country, and most all others as well, are at the precipice of total failure and global rule. To expect anything else is sheer madness given the lack of intellect and complicit attitudes of the lowly compliant masses.

And then there is protest; that insane act of misinformed fools carrying signs, blocking roadways, destroying private property, setting fires, stoking violent behavior, and attempting to make a ‘statement’ as a collective ‘one,’ instead of doing something of value individually in order to escape the entirety of the heinous authoritative scheme called government. The irony here is spectacular, as division and ‘civil unrest,’ which are what physical protests invariably lead to, is exactly what the abhorrent ruling class desires, as it only causes a brutal and aggressive response by the State thugs called enforcers. After all, the protesters have all gathered in one place, so that they instantly become easy targets for the State’s police and military. In addition, since protesters are indiscriminate in their violent behavior, the rest of the sheeplike herd will beg the government to come to their rescue by taking out the protesting mobs. [MORE]

The Vampire State: Feeding on Our Fear, Freedom and Finances

From [HERE] Like its mythic counterpart, the Vampire State seduces its victims with promises of safety, comfort, and national greatness. Once trust is secured and access granted, it feeds slowly and methodically—just enough to keep the populace docile, but never enough to rouse them from their trance.

Once it latches on, the Vampire State’s tyrannical hunger only grows.

The Vampire State feeds on fear. Fear is the oxygen of tyranny. Every crisis—real or manufactured—fuels the quest for more power. Fear, however, is only the beginning. Once fear takes hold, the next step is to turn people against one another. Demagogues know well how to do this.

The Vampire State feeds on division. The American Police State has perfected the art of pitting citizen against immigrant, left against right, protester against police, rich against poor—because a divided nation is far easier to control. Division, in turn, breeds submission. Once a society is at war with itself, obedience becomes the only refuge.

The Vampire State feeds on obedience. Obedience, however, is never enough. Tyranny requires endless sustenance—material, financial, and human.

The Vampire State feeds on wealth. No predator survives without a steady source of sustenance, and the state’s preferred meal is the taxpayer. Endless wars, bloated budgets, emergency powers and corporate concessions keep the machine humming. Yet even that cannot satisfy a regime that wants total control. To control completely, it must know everything about those in its power.

The Vampire State feeds on privacy. A true predator must know its prey. The predatory state now drinks deeply from the digital lifeblood of the nation—every call logged, every movement tracked, every purchase recorded. And when fear, division, obedience, wealth, and privacy have been mined to exhaustion, the Vampire State turns to its most precious prey—the human spirit.

The Vampire State feeds on hope. The final hunger is spiritual. It drains its victims of hope until despair is all that’s left. A hopeless populace is a controlled one.

Every horror story reaches a moment when the victims realize what they’re up against. Ours has come. The question is how to break the spell. [MORE]
