The cartoon below has been circulating.
Cartoons generally become popular because they point to something revelatory. Here the point is obvious: what seems like a crazy perspective is dismissed because the chickens don’t want to end up IN A KFC 8 PC FAMILY MEAL. In other words, we all tend to ignore WHAT MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE.
A similar phenomena was demonstrated in Eli Wiesel’s autobiography Night. In recounting his experiences during the Holocaust, Wiesel introduces a character, Moishe The Beadle, who is crammed into cars by the Hungarian Police and expelled from Sighet. Months later Moishe shows up and recounts a tale of entering Polish territory and being taken hostage by the Gestapo.
In a forest the Jews were all forced to dig trenches and then executed en masse. Moishe escapes, returns to Hungary, but when he tells his story NO ONE BELIEVES HIM. They THINK HE IS MAD. He begs and pleads BUT THEY REFUSE TO BELIEVE A WORD OF HIS TALE.
I mention these two examples because they obviously run parallel to our current plight. Countless doctors, vaccinologists and statisticians have warned about the strong vaccine adverse signal from the Vaers data, BUT FEW BELIEVE THEM. Even when they prove the situation is dire, or explain the problem via statistical models, THE LEGACY MEDIA REFUSES TO ACCEPT REALITY.
Why?
Part of it is GROUPTHINK. But another part is a tendency of human nature to BLOCK OUT THE HORRIFIC.
This is our downfall. What the chickens dismiss as conspiracy theory turns out to be fact. Ditto Moishe The Beadle’s tale his associates convince themselves is contrived.
In other words, THE CONSPIRACY THEORIST IS SOMETIMES CORRECT. Perhaps this is why Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, in regard to big pharma and the government working together to squash life-saving therapies, claimed: “It’s not a conspiracy theory. A conspiracy theory implies it is not true. IT’S A CONSPIRACY!”
CONSPIRACY THEORY OR CULT?
There is a conspiracy being perpetrated against us by Big Pharma, the Legacy Media, The Government, and the Medical Establishment. To not see that, to believe in what’s going on, is TO BE IN A CULT.
Anyway, because I’ve obtained some pushback regarding this notion, which I’ve written about in two prior posts, I figured it worthwhile to elucidate my position once more by examining the criteria for a cult as described in The Atlantic.
THE SEVEN SIGNS YOU’RE IN A CULT
In The Seven Signs You’re In A Cult, Mike Bickle, the founder of IHOP (International House Of Prayer) discusses the seven signs one is in a cult. The seven signs are: 1) Opposing Critical Thinking; 2) Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving; 3) Emphasizing special doctrines outside scripture; 4) Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders; 5) Dishonoring the family unit; 6) Crossing Biblical boundaries of behavior; 7) Separation from the Church.
Let's briefly review each of these traits in light of the vaccine program.
1) Opposing Critical Thinking--
The above Forbes article, You Must Not Do Your Own Research When It Comes To Science, was part of a media campaign TO GET YOU NOT TO THINK. The message in these articles was science is complex, so AVOID FORMING YOUR OWN JUDGMENT.
The above meme showing a split-screen of a researcher in a lab doing “Vaccine Research” and a mom scrolling a phone on the toilet doing “Anti-Vax Mom Research” attempts something similar. The idea is to DELEGITIMIZE YOUR OWN COGNITIVE ABILITIES. Only THE EXPERTS can possibly GENERATE RELIABLE ANSWERS. Yikes. It doesn’t get much more OPPOSED TO CRITICAL THINKING THAN THIS!
2) Isolating Members And Penalizing Them For Leaving--Those who refuse to support the narrative have been isolated and punished. That explains how Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the MRNA technology, was BANNED ON TWITTER. (Ditto for Alex Berenson and Steve Kirsch.) That’s also how Dr. Pierre Kory, a reputable ICU pulmonologist, was FIRED FROM NUMEROUS JOBS. Another interesting case is P.A. Deb Conrad, who spoke up about ADVERSE EVENTS FROM THE VACCINES on The Highwire, and was quickly fired as punishment for abandoning the orthodoxies of THE CULT.
3) Emphasizing Special Doctrines Outside Scripture--One of the key special doctrines outside scripture was the rushed EUA (Emergency Use Authorization). This seemed abnormal, particularly for vaccines WITH A NEW GENE THERAPY TECHNOLOGY.
What is more, very little data was RELEASED BY PFIZER, the trials were QUICKLY DISBANDED, and much of the information REMAINS HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC (Pfizer wants to wait 75 years before releasing its complete trial data).
Furthermore, Pfizer was given full approval for a Comirnaty vaccine just so the Biden Administration could try to enforce INSANE VACCINE MANDATES. But you can’t get Comirnaty (nor does Pfizer plan to sell it, for it’s unwilling to risk losing liability protection).
Or, in more straightforward terms, it’s approved, but you can't get the approved vaccine, just the unapproved one, but they can force you to take the unapproved one as if it’s approved. Basically, this is a BAIT AND SWITCH sponsored by UNCLE SAM!
4) Seeking Inappropriate Loyalty To Their Leaders--
In the above interview Fauci claimed “when you criticize me, you are criticizing science, because I represent science.” This is BEYOND LOYALTY. FAUCI considers himself THE MESSIAH. If ever there is a sign this vaccine push is a cult, THIS IS IT.
5) Dishonoring The Family Unit--Fauci has no problem cancelling Christmas. He also is fine shutting down schools or initiating lockdowns.
What is more, his rhetoric is EXTREMELY ANTI-FAMILY. In one recent interview with The Washington Post he claimed: “People should, if they invite people over their home, essentially ask and maybe require that people show evidence that they are vaccinated.”
Yes, he actually requested THAT GRANDMA SHOW HER PAPERS. Next he’ll ask you to TORTURE HER UNTIL SHE TAKES 12 SHOTS OF MODERNA!
6) Crossing Biblical Boundaries of Behavior--Unvaccinated patients are often refused medical treatment. Here’s a video of a man with STAGE FIVE KIDNEY FAILURE who needs dialysis every night. Sadly, he was told by the University of Virginia’s Transplant Center he is no longer eligible to receive a kidney transplant because he is unvaccinated. From “Do No Harm,” to GO AHEAD AND DIE. WOW! TALK ABOUT CROSSING A BIBLICAL BOUNDARY OF BEHAVIOR!
7) Separation From The Church-- Medical journals have been co-opted. Hit jobs put out on generic drugs that will crush profit streams. In short, there is a separation between old-school traditional science and the $$cience that dominates today.
An example of this was provided in Dr. Pierre Kory’s Substack. He mentions a “Forest Plot” of various studies. Kory goes on to describe how only expensive treatments are pushed by big pharma and our health agencies, often with way less evidence behind them than cheap, readily-available alternatives.
CONCLUSION
While some feel questioning the narrative is embracing a conspiracy theory, it’s clear that the fringe perspective is often highly accurate. The chickens in the slaughterhouse cartoon and Moishe the Beadle are other examples of this, as are many of the theories of figures like Alex Jones and Naomi Wolf.
Additionally, the fact that the vaccine campaign meets all seven criteria for a cult is further proof we are under a new form of medical tyranny, or, as Dr. Mattias Desmet puts it, mass formation psychosis.
Given this troubling reality, and the coordinated attack on our civil liberties by OUR REGULATORY AGENCIES, BIG PHARMA, and THE LEGACY MEDIA, we really have little choice but TO CONTINUE TO RESIST.

It's only a conspiracy (theory) if you don't like it. Otherwise it's a shrewd plan.
Thanks Matt! Though I know I am doing the "right" thing by not getting the "vaccine," your perspective only strengthens my conviction. Keep up the good fight Matt! Your voice is one of reason.
