Why would it NOT be an appropriate article to send out? It is relevant and timely, and I learned something by reading it. Do it.

“I am presently trying to determine if this is an appropriate article to send out to my readership. I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.”

Holy crap yes!!!

And probably I will re-read tomorrow, then make my high-schooler read it 😉

It is an appropriate article to publish. To understand what's wrong with the medical profession we must understand the systems that made it go so terribly wrong. I started reading alternative medicine websites years ago to find out more about nutrition and medications. Now most of those sites inevitably discuss the political/economic determinants of bad health outcomes.

Fantastic article! Your scope of knowledge and wisdom is so wide, I would hope you would not seek to limit it to medicine alone. Please keep sharing your thoughts and observations.

There are so many strands to the roll-out of The Great Reset – economic, political, geo-political, medical and so on - and its potential rolling back by a new, multi-polar world order, that we are all required to become Renaissance men and women to fully understand where all the strands are coming from and what sort of web they are likely to weave. Some people call it being a conspiracy theorist .... but it just an intellectual ability to connect siloed information. So this is just a long-winded way of saying: I appreciate this post and your thinking, and please keep it up! Thank you!

Please DO send more of this. This is not separate from your other articles. It all goes together. I appreciate your work very much.

at least the poor souls in China have the intelligence to realize they're being played and have the fortitude to rise up in protest...unlike the brain dead sheep in America who gladly wear their masks and get jabbed with an "experimental vaccine"... as for lifelong rulers you might want to check the timelines for our career politicians...like Pelosi Schumer McConnell Graham etc etc etc

American policy is relevant to this substack because it ultimately is reflected in medicine and public health. It is all one piece. Your insights are invaluable and I share (as usual) your beliefs. Note: lots of little editing errors in this piece. If you have time, go back over it. Note 2: I never know what to believe coming out of China because so many propagandists are busy trying to manipulate our perceptions of it. I know the Hong Kong protest journalism was heavily propagandized, as has been the Uighur Muslim story for years. Since the US seems committed to getting into some sort of war with China, we could be being manipulated into feeling outrage about Chinese protests now so we will support such a war. Or not. I don't know. I do know the CIA virtually never rests in its efforts to control our perceptions.

Hello, I have only recently found your writings & am enjoying them. This piece was good & it shed a little more light on what may really be happening in China. Yes go ahead & put out your views on Ukraine, why not the more conversations we have the merrier. It's just a question of how much stuff a person can read without becoming miserable. Thanks

I appreciate you sharing your perspective on current events in China. I encourage you to send it out. Each voice that speaks out against evil is of immense value. I look forward to what you have to say about Ukraine/Russia conflict. "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another" - Proverbs 27:17.

It's entertaining to listen to news pundits eagerly applaud Chinese protests against absurd and dangerous lockdowns. remembering their recent ignoring, ridiculing or condemning Canadian truckers.

Over Here, only this morning (GMT), someone pointed out that the tragedy of Tiananmen Square, though tragic, was acted out in only one location. Even in a vast country like The Peoples' Republic, with multiple venues, an uprising would eclipse The Great Leap Forward. The Chinese believe in the long game. Your work is appreciated, very much so.

Great analysis, but keep in mind that it is from from a disconnected perspective. They control and oppress, we are are the victims. I think society is way more interconnected and the disconnected viewpoint is the root of the issue. We all play both sides.
