Any time a party wants to 'take over society' they will move to monopolize life-essentials, making it difficult if not impossible to rebel against the system that provides them.
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: This promotional clip is for a documentary by PBS, "American Masters: Dr. Tony Fauci". I have not watched the documentary itself, but from the description on the webpage
it appears to be one portraying Dr. Fauci as a laudable American: "Follow Dr. Anthony Fauci as he grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic and his 50-year career as the nation's leading public health advocate. American Masters: Dr. Tony Fauci reveals a rarely seen side of the physician, husband and father as he confronts political backlash, a new administration and questions of the future." The scenes in the promotional clip were filmed in June of 2021 in Anacostia, an African-American neighborhood in southeast Washington DC. Given the low rates of vaccination in this neighborhood, Mayor Muriel Bowser and Dr. Anthony Fauci, with entourage and film crew in tow, knock on doors. Most of the people shown in the 7 minute-long promotional clip were enthusiastic about having been vaccinated, and delighted, even thrilled to meet Dr. Fauci in person. There were, however, two exceptions, in which residents challenged Mayor Bowser and Dr. Fauci, these transcribed here. The film was clearly heavily edited, therefore I have indicated cuts.
Unlike the other videos for which I made transcripts for this main archive, this one was not censored or shadow-banned; on the contrary, it was widely circulated as a promotional clip for a television documentary and it pretended to show those who questioned the covid injections in a negative light. That most certainly is not my intention, nor the intention of this archive.

MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER (on steps of a house, just before knocking, to Dr. Anthony Fauci): People aren't really opposed——

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: They need a little push.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: A push and a drag.

MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: What are we going to do about those other states?
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: Oh my God. They're going to keep the outbreak smoldering in the country. It's so crazy. I mean—
[cut]
They're not doing it because they say they don't want to do it, they're Republicans, they don't like to be told what to do.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: Right.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: And we got to break that, you know, unpack that.
[cut to a new doorstop scene]
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: How you guys doing with vaccine?
WOMAN IN BLUE MASK ON PORCH [a younger woman and a small child appear in in the doorway behind her]: Oh.
WOMAN IN DOORWAY: Hello.
WOMAN IN BLUE MASK ON PORCH: [inaudible] I'm going for the interview soon.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: Oh, you should get it first.
WOMAN IN BLUE MASK ON PORCH: Oh.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: OK? That way you won't give it to them.
WOMAN IN BLUE MASK ON PORCH: I thought, I thought I would give it to them if I get it.
[cut]
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: No! No, not at all! In fact we got to get you vaccinated so that if you were to get infected you could pass it on to them.
[cut]
WOMAN IN BLUE MASK ON PORCH: OK.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: So you're actually protecting your family by them getting them vaccinated.
[cut]
WOMAN WITHOUT MASK, STANDING IN DOORWAY: Well, I heard that it doesn't, um, cure it and it doesn't, um, stop you from getting it.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: No.
WOMAN WITHOUT MASK, STANDING IN DOORWAY: So.
[cut]
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: On the very, very, very rare chance that you do get it even if you're vaccinated, it's a very, you don't even feel sick, it's like you don't even know you got infected. It's very, very good at protecting you.
[cut]
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: [inaudible] Anacostia, so get up there.
WOMAN IN BLUE MASK ON PORCH: OK.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: OK?
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: Alright. See you later.

MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: The people in America are not settled with the information that's been given to us right now. [while the man is speaking, camera cuts to view of Mayor Bowser frowning]. [cut] So I'm not going to be lining up taking a shot or and a vaccination for something that wasn't clear in the first place. And then you all create a shot in miraculous time. It takes years to——
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: But [inaudible] ——
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: create vaccinations.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: ——Dr. Fauci [inaudible] vaccine.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: Well, it used to take years.
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: OK, it used to, it did used to take years.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: You know how many years were invested in this, in this approach? About 20 years of science to get us to be able to do a good——
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Twenty years is not enough. And nine months is definitely not enough——
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: No——
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: ——for nobody to be taking no vaccination that you all came up with.
[cut]
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: The only reason I'm talking to you right now, as close as we are, is that I've been vaccinated.
[cut]
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Right.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: But if it allow thousands of people like you don't get vaccinated, you're going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and then this world.
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Something like the common flu then, right?
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: And not like, not like the common flu.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: It's much more serious that the flu.
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Well the flu killed a lot of people actually too.
[cut]
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: You know how many people died of the flu the last year? I mean, not this year, virtually none, but the previous year? About 20-30 thousand. And you know how many people have died from covid 19 in the United States? 600,000 Americans.
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Well you, well that, well, the, the number that you all giving that died, that, that's once again, that's you all's number.
[cut]
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: You gonna pass?
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Yeah. Definitely.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: Alright.
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Because when you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking to me about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, there's something else going on with that.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: Yeah, it's, I—
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Something else, something else going on with that.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: It is something going on with it.
MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP: Yeah, something else.
MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER: You're right. But I'm glad millions of people, like me and most everybody here [indicates entourage of several people], didn't get a [inaudible]. You know what their incentive was? Protecting their health and protecting the city. But that's ——[she waves dismissively, and starts to walk away] I won't keep you any more.

MAN IN BASEBALL CAP ON DOORSTEP [calling after Mayor Bowser, Dr. Fauci, and entourage as they walk away]: Your campaign is about fear. It's about inciting fear in people! You all attack people with fear.

This was great. It wasn't till 2018 when I read, "War is a Racket" and from then things started to become more clear. Almost everything these days is built for profit sadly.
1. Russia entered the Donbass at the invitation of its leaders. They asked for help because the Kyiv regime was building up for an invasion by the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion to put an end to the 8-year rebellion against ethnic genocide that had been going on there.
2. The phrase "the banality of evil" was coined by Hannah Arendt, whose works on totalitarianism I highly recommend.
3. Biodiesel is no better for the environment than a hybrid vehicle because it's produced by mononoculture agriculture using GMO grains that require application of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. In light of your initial paragraphs, how is it that instead of just looking for substitutes we aren't asking why the massive amounts of lithium and other essential minerals aren't being recycled? The short answer, of course, is that there's no financial incentive even though at least one lithium recycling process produces batteries that are actually better than the originals.
All those plastic islands in the oceans could have been made into other things, or even other plastics, but it's cheaper to make new so no one cared to undertake the process of reducing the cost of recycling on a major scale.
I could go on, but I suspect I've made my point. As of right now, everything being touted as "saving the planet" is nothing but performance art designed and implemented by the polluters to guilt-trip the consumers they've trained to always want the shiny new object whether it's needed or not. Why fight to end factory farming if we can persuade everybody to go vegan then sell them fake meat made with GMO grains and legumes?
Frankly, we need to stop buying stuff. And we need to start demanding what we do buy be of sufficient quality it doesn't need replacing every year. And that we get serious about recycling, including funding research to develop ways to do it that might also help clean up the toxins in our air, water, soil and bodies.
We humans have a responsibility to the cycle of life to do our best to do no harm, but we need to stop allowing the real criminals to make us feel like it's all our fault.
"The most curious thing about this phenomenon is that many of these people aren’t evil individuals, and in their personal lives they really care about others,."
That's called "compartmentalization." Narcissists are very good at that.
So are, probably, humans with a survival instinct.
Terrific piece. Very thoughtful. I know you apply this to your own country but in my country, Australia, you could apply the same principles. Our trainee treasurer has just bought down the most inflationary, welfare handouts, state largesse that you could imagine. We supposedly have a surplus because of our commodity exports. No mention or thank to our hardworking miners. The idiot is even giving one of the richest men I the world 2 billion to export green hydrogen to China and Japan. If the dopes in charge in the world really cared about the environment they would not sterilising good farmland with solar panels or cutting down trees on mountains to put up wind turbines. They would be applying sanctions to China and India as well but they don’t.
Until covid, I generally believed that global warming was occurring and that it was being driven by the enormous amounts of CO2 that we're putting into the atmosphere. Since covid, however, I've become a global warming skeptic. There are climate scientists who state that even though global temps were rising into the year 2000, there's been no warming for the past 15 years at least. Among those who do believe global temps are continuing to warm, some are saying we have plenty of time to figure out solutions, 100 years at least, and that's IF the climate does continue to warm. So we are NOT at a climate tipping point and we are NOT facing a climate emergency. (How about a hydrogen combustion engine? We just need to figure out an efficient way to create hydrogen from water). Regarding the global warming propaganda, my new rule is that if many governments around the world are promoting a narrative that will 1) give them more control over the people, and/or 2) give them an excuse to raise taxes or steal land from the people, they are lying!
As James Corbett broadcast in an April podcast and article, by definition, corporations are psychopathic. Since corporations are not living beings, but are created as a legal fiction, the public can fairly easily limit their power or end their existence altogether.
MDR, I dont believe there is a climate crisis. The only crisis is the make-believe ones those in power keep pushing on the world. Triillions of dollars are going to transfer to the already-wealthy and corporations that are 'in the right place at the right time' (aka, they are connected to insiders in the system--The Enrons and those who build solar and wind turbines) and billions of people are going to die from creating energy too expensive to use and food too expensive to purchase. Its all a gigantic fraud that is will turn out to be the largest white collar crime in the world. (I think there is a spiritual anti-God component to this as well which comes from promoting lies non-stop).
👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo! Excellent synopsis of the lengthy and continued patterns of systemic corporatised abuse, disguised as the "common masses" sloth and ignorant inattention. I'm not saying that everyday people can't do better, but I'm really tired of big business and government bureaucracy telling the average Joe that the reason we must pay higher taxes to implement recycling programs (that dont work or are incomplete) is because WE are too lazy or ignorant of the "complex science of climate change", instead of the TRUTH, which is large corporations commit ecocide to appease s shareholders and profits, while captured agencies/governments, brainwash and guilt the public! Everytime one of the corporate cash cows gets sacrificed to appease the masses growing frustration (like DDT, Duponts PFAS poisoning, Mosantos roundup ready glysophate, and the current baby-the aluminium industry's fluoride waste as health product, etc), they buy a distraction for the public, appear to close shop, but reopen under a new name or buy new regulators and legislation, and the whole cycle starts again.🤨😐😑🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
At what point does it end?🤔 Perhaps, when enough people have been injured or died from this latest "health shot"? But realistically I think the reinvigorated publicity on fluoride effects, will act as a cover for so many other damages done.☹😭
Since you brought it up, it’s hard to resist taking a poke at the political arm of medicine, aka AMA in their quest to establish a monopoly, later found guilty of anti-trust violations. The medicopharma BS’s been going on for over a century. The truth always wins out. Glad medicine’s money grab is now exposed in all its glory.
You ponder on the reasons Russia eventually entered the Ukraine, he is a co-director in the same abysmal money and power grab. The timing of the war was agreed upon by people in high places.
Check out the map on this page that will show how the world is being divided into three regions. USA, EU, BRICS.
A good and well formed article. I thank you. The essential parts are the underlying themes in my own experiences, and I have many somewhat amusing tales thereof. But "unless and until"one understands a prior position to the world, a prior understanding of the nature of human existence altogether, the literal manifest world, that great and hurtful paradox that we must also somehow deal with every day, will be the hell one lives in and as. Such transcendence can only be realized, never attained. All ancient and profound traditions point to this. As for the paradoxical mess of our times, it is both simpler to understand and harder to comprehend. Go Figure.
As for those who are worth noting and supporting, I can only say that the ones who belong in governance are those who show profound signs that they live to serve mankind. So, regardless of many things, and knowing everyone has baggage aplenty, I find that RFK Jr. is well worth our attention and support.
Thank you. Your every post is a wonder. I appreciate them, and including this one, tremendously.

You ponder on the reasons Russia eventually entered the Ukraine, he is a co-director in the same abysmal money and power grab. The timing of the war was agreed upon by people in high places.

Have I told you lately that I love you?
A good and well formed article. I thank you. The essential parts are the underlying themes in my own experiences, and I have many somewhat amusing tales thereof. But "unless and until"one understands a prior position to the world, a prior understanding of the nature of human existence altogether, the literal manifest world, that great and hurtful paradox that we must also somehow deal with every day, will be the hell one lives in and as. Such transcendence can only be realized, never attained. All ancient and profound traditions point to this. As for the paradoxical mess of our times, it is both simpler to understand and harder to comprehend. Go Figure.
As for those who are worth noting and supporting, I can only say that the ones who belong in governance are those who show profound signs that they live to serve mankind. So, regardless of many things, and knowing everyone has baggage aplenty, I find that RFK Jr. is well worth our attention and support.
The corruption is just epic, ain’t it?
