3dom (Ali) (@3dom13): A friend sends his own sample to a DNA company claiming it's his dog's. The results come back stating the percentage of different dog breeds

UNRAVELING THE GENETIC CODE: BEYOND THE DNA MYSTERIES

[the speaker is Dr. Tom Cowan.  His site, The Way Forward @ thewayfwrd.com is currently down for maintenance.]

Genes.  So supposedly, the way it works is you got this DNA and it's divided into segments, right?  The particular segments have start and stop codes, and they're called genes and they code for proteins.  The way they do that is they make mRNA in the nucleus.  It goes out of the nucleus and goes to the imaginary ribosomes in the cytoplasm and then it gets translated into proteins.  I already know there are problems with that because a) I know there's no such thing as a ribosome, b) I know there is no hole in the nucleus, and c) they also tell us that one gene codes for one protein.  And there are approximately 100 to 200,000 proteins and there are only 10 to 20,000 genes, which either means that geneticists are not good at arithmetic, or the whole thing is a bunch of hooey.

"I want to present my body with all the nutrients in the food and let it decide which to absorb"

The following is a product advertisement from Dr. Tom Cowan, but I am sharing it here because the argument for foods over vitamins is so compelling.  

Hey, everyone. 

A central tenet to my approach to nutrition is that the more complex the food source, the more nutritious it is likely to be. An example is chemically-derived B vitamins in supplement form, versus from fresh liver, which is replete with these same vitamins. My choice is always the latter, because I want to present my body with all the nutrients in the food and let it decide which to absorb.

During the past century, instead of "homo sapiens" we have become a species that is more aptly described as "homo domesticus fragilis." In other words, we have become domesticated, fragile and diseased. Any living being that doesn't live in its natural environment and is subjected to eating depleted foods and living in artificial situations will become sick and diseased. This idea applies to our food, the light we are exposed to, the water we drink, the movements we perform, and probably even the thoughts we think and the feelings we feel. 

Unfortunately, many people today are unable or unwilling to eat such traditional foods as organ meats and wild edibles. That's why I'm grateful for companies that make products that understand these principles and mimic traditional diets as much as possible. One such company is Ancestral Supplements, which makes freeze-dried organ products.

The animals from which these products are made live out their entire lives foraging on grass, as they are meant to do; no grain feeding, no hormones, no antibiotics. Then their organs, the source of the most concentrated nutrients in the animals, are harvested and freeze dried for us to use.  

In my practice during the past few years, once I identified the weak organ in a patient, I would suggest supplementing with the homologous freeze-dried, grass-fed and finished-organ preparation. For people with any sort of thyroid issue, that meant a non-hormonal glandular thyroid. Patients with heart disease all took bovine heart capsules. For people with joint and bone issues or the metabolic problem referred to as "cancer," bovine tracheal cartilage was prescribed. 

Bovine tracheal cartilage, along with shark cartilage, is possibly the richest source of cartilage in the animal world. Extracts of bovine tracheal cartilage were used successfully by Dr. John Pruden in his cancer treatments, and greatly improved joint health in arthritis sufferers. 

 

Here is an abstract of Dr. John Pruden's work with bovine cartilage and cancer. 

Dr. John Prudden and Bovine Trachael Cartilage Research By Henry Kriegel researchers chose not to investigate the discovery further. Dr. Prudden, however, was convinced of the importance of the results and put aside his previous research plans to actively begin a thorough investigation. During the course of the initial clinical work, he observed dramatic tumor shrinkage in a patient with cancer of the breast and malignant ulceration of the entire chest wall. This discovery led to therapeutic trials with other cancer substances proven to accelerate clinical wound healing, a fact cited in surgical textbooks, shown in clinical trials to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions from inflammatory diseases to cancer. Although the documentation of its uses has been a slow and meticulous process, its effectiveness in the treatment of cancer and other diseases may represent a significant medical advance. This article focuses on its reported efficacy in the treatment of cancer. Until recently, knowledge of the effectiveness of bovine tracheal cartilage in the treatment of cancer has been limited. Approximately 100 cancer patients have benefited from bovine cartilage during this initial investigative period solely through the efforts of John F. Prudden, M.D., Med.Sc.D.

Susceptibility to 5G radiation has to do with how much metal you have in your body, as well as the quality of the water in your cells

I don't know about you, but ever since 5G wireless was rolled out back in January my phone becomes so hot after a few minutes that I have to put it down.  That heat is coursing THROUGH my body causing cells to age and die, which may be an debilitating force of COVID along with the millions of genetic packages of spike proteins that so many were injected with.  And I wonder the toll on organ tissue, like the brain, kidneys, and spinal tissue that this radiation has on these body parts.

Further, if I ever go to bed with the phoe near my bed, my sleep is poor and interrupted.  And my tongue will sting or burn.  So there's that. 

 

This is a better explanation of the threat from 5G, given by Dr. Tom Cowan.  

2:14.  Diseases are poisoning. In 1918, there was a pandemic, and with every pandemic in the last hundred and fifty years, there was a Quantum Leap in the electrification of the Earth.  In 1918, in the late fall of 1917, there was the introduction of radio waves around the world. Whenever you expose any biological system to a new electromagnetic field, you poison it, you kill some, and the rest go into some kind of suspended animation so that interestingly they live a little bit longer and are sicker.  And then starts World War II with the next pandemic with the introduction of radar equipment all over the Earth, blanketing the entire Earth in radar Fields, the first time humans have ever been exposed to that.  In 1968, there was the Hong Kong flu and it was the first time the Earth has a protective layer in the van Allen belt which essentially integrate the cosmic fields from the Sun and the earth from the moon and Jupiter, etcetera, integrates that and essentially distributes that to the living beings of the earth and we put satellites emitting radioactive frequencies in the van Allen belt within six months we had a new viral pandemic.  Why viral? Because the people are poisoned, they excrete toxins, they look like viruses, and people think it's a flu epidemic.  In the 1918 flu the epidemic, the Boston Health Department decided to investigate the contagiousness of this, so they, believe it or not, took hundreds of people with the flu and they sucked the snot out of their noses, and injected it into the healthy people who didn't have the flu and not one time could they make the next person sick. They did this over and over again, and they were not able to demonstrate contagion.  They even did it with horses, who apparently got the Spanish Flu and they put bags over their heads, and the horses sneezed in the bag and they put the bag over the next horse, and not one horse got sick.  You can read about this in a book called The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg, 2020, who chronicles all the steps in the electrification of the earth and how within six months there was a new flu pandemic all over the world.  And when you investigate it, when you hear that normal explanations--how did it go from Kansas to South Africa in two weeks so the entire world got the symptoms at the same time in spite of the fact that the mode of transportation was horseback and boats and there's no explanation for it.  They just say we don't know how that happened.  But when you think about it with these radio waves and other frequencies that some of you have in your pockets and on your wrist, you can send a signal to Japan and it arrives instantaneously. So any of you who don't believe there is an electromagnetic field that communicates globally within seconds just is not paying attention to this. And I will only finish by pointing out that there has been a dramatic Quantum Leap in the last six months with the electrification of the earth, and I'm sure a lot of you know what that is it's called 5G where there are now have 20,000 radiation-emitting satellites just like the radiation-emitting thing in your pocket and on your wrist and that you use all the time. That is not compatible with health.  I'm sorry to say it: it's not compatible with health.  That is a water destructuring device and for any of you say, "Yeah, well, we're we're not electrical beings, we're just physical matter," then don't bother doing an EKG or an EEG or a nerve conduction test, because we are electrical beings and the chemicals are only the byproduct of those electrical impulses.  And I'll finish with anybody want to make one guess as to where the first completely blanketed 5 G city in the world was?  Wuhan. Exactly.  So when you start thinking about this, we are in an existential crisis here, folks, the likes of which humankind has never seen.  And I don't want to go all Old Testament prophet on you, but this is something that is unprecedented. The putting of 100,000 satellites in the very blanket of the earth, and by the way, as I was going to say earlier, this actually has something to do with the vaccine question and this got brought home to me because about a year ago or so I had a patient who came in who was totally fine a surfer and all that he broke his . . . he works as an electrician putting in Wi-Fi systems for very wealthy people. Electricians have a very high mortality rate but he was fine.  And then he breaks his arm and gets some metal plate put in his arm, 3 months later he couldn't get out of bed and was total . . . you know, heart irregularities, total collapse.  The susceptibility has to do with how much metal you have in your body as well as the quality of the water in your cells. So if you start injecting aluminum into people, they become receptors for absorbing increased electromagnetic fields and that is a perfect storm for the kind of deterioration of the species which is what we're now experiencing.  And I'm just going to finish with one more thing, which I like to see a quote from Rudolf Steiner, and by the way, this was around 1917, so it was a different time.  In times when there were no electrical currents when the air was not swarming with electrical influences, we're talking 1917, it was easier to be human. For this reason,  in order to be human at all today, it is necessary to expend much stronger spiritual capacities than were necessary a century ago.  So I'll just leave you with whatever you can do to increase your spiritual capacity because it's really damn hard to be a human being these days.

1918 FLU PANDEMIC: [Most] died because of changes in coagulation of the blood, a known and recognized effect at that time of “electricity sickness."

By Dr. Tom Cowan

I recently finished reading a very sobering book on the history of electricity and its effects on life called “The Invisible Rainbow” by Arthur Firstenberg. During the coming weeks and months, I will share revelations I gained from reading this masterpiece, as in many ways it supports and extends the primary thesis of my last three books.

Health is all about the state of the water in our bodies, and crucially, the health of our water is strongly influenced by the environment in which we live. One of the most profound influences on the water in our bodies is the electromagnetic environment. This electromagnetic environment, to which humans and all living beings evolved over the eons, has been radically altered in the past couple of centuries through the introduction of man-made electrical devices. There is no clearer place to see these effects than in a thorough investigation of the history of influenza in the past 150 years. Here are summaries taken from Mr. Firstenberg’s book describing the events surrounding the four major influenza outbreaks in recent times:

1889: First appearance of a global electrical system, thousands of miles of electrical tracks laid down, the first appearance of alternating-current generating stations. Then, the first modern global influenza pandemic started in the fall of 1889, killing more than 1 million people and appearing simultaneously all over the globe, faster than any transportation at the time, suggesting contagion played no role in the outbreak.

1918: The great flu pandemic. At that time, the U.S. installed 13 giant radio and communications transmitters throughout the world. They all went live in late 1917 through the end of 1918. For the first time, radio signals could be heard in every part of the globe. At that time, the “Spanish flu” affected one-third of the world’s population, killing tens of millions of people. It occurred in places like Antarctica, which had no contact with the outside world. The first known cases were 1,127 radio operators at Camp Funston, Kansas. They were the first to use wireless transmitters. Patients mostly died because of changes in coagulation of the blood, a known and recognized effect at that time of “electricity sickness.” The other interesting point is that the most affected were the young and healthy, not the old and infirm. Attempts to prove contagion of the illness were uniformly unsuccessful.

1957: Asian flu pandemic. This outbreak coincided with the installation of the White Alice Communication systems installed throughout Alaska with signals powerful enough to cover the globe. It went live in November 1956; the flu pandemic started in the fall of 1957.

1968: Hong Kong flu. On June 12, 1968, the U.S. went live with the first global military satellites called the Initial Defense Communication Satellite Program. It was the first time a global communication system was inserted directly into the earth’s outer radiation belt, called the Van Allen belt. This disrupted the magnetic field globally in an unprecedented way. The Hong Kong flu, which killed millions, began in July 1968.

Since 1968, two landmarks events in the history of EMFs occurred: the introduction of the wireless cellular technology, followed by the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) [you really should check this out]. The dates and the flu pandemics associated with these events are not as clear as in the previous four, and it’s also possible that these were not marked by a flu pandemic as much as the dramatic increases in diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. It seems that humans (actually all living things) have adapted to a new but lower level of health.

After the [1968] Hong Kong flu epidemic, doctors and scientists, not suspecting a link between the electromagnetic environment and these pandemics, investigated whether influenza was caused by a contagious agent, such as a virus. However, the flu broke out in many places at once around the globe, spreading faster than any living thing could travel. Finally, the Public Health Department in Boston decided to investigate just how contagious influenza was. Here is what they found:

“In a further experiment with new volunteers and donors, the salt solution was eliminated and with cotton swabs, the material was transferred directly from nose to nose, and from throat to throat, using donors in the first, second and third day of the disease. NONE of these volunteers who received the material thus directly transferred from cases took sick in any way … All of the volunteers received at least two and some of them three ‘shots’ as they expressed it.”

Simply put, these and many other studies failed to provide any support that influenza was a contagious, microbial disease. Illness in no way constitutes proof that a virus caused the illness. For one, no study has ever found that people with influenza all have evidence of a virus. Furthermore, Rudolf Steiner, when commenting about the 1918 pandemic, apparently said the “virus” they were finding was just a mineralized excretion of the cells. In other words, the cells were poisoned (he thought by some part of “sub-nature”), which caused changes in the crystalline water of the cell, thereby producing illness.  The body tries to detoxify itself by ridding itself of toxins, which we have been led to believe are contagious viruses.

This understanding of the cause of influenza has many practical implications for your health and the health of your family. For one, it puts the abysmal record of the “flu shot” into a new context. It also means that paying attention to your EMF exposure, the quality of your water and all the other things I talk about in my books to foster a healthy, internal milieu become relevant for flu prevention.

Finally, we are on the cusp of the next big step in the history of EMF exposure on earth. That is the upcoming 4G/5G rollout. Again, in a later blog, I will try to give some ideas of what we might expect given this sobering event.

"YOU CANNOT PROVE 'VIRAL' CAUSATION WITH EPIDEMIOLOGY" --DR. TOM COWAN


Here is the document he refers to at the 13:10 mark
Dear Editor

“The best decisions are based on the best science”, the article quotes.

However, the CDC states on page 39 of its 13th July 2020 document entitled,’ CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel For Emergency Use Only Instructions for Use’ (1) :

“Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/μL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen”.

What does this mean? And is it the “best science”?

(1) https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download

And here is the document he refers to published in EuroSurveillance.  As a preface to reading from the article, Cowan explains that a virus is a thing, like a fork. We're not talking about a thought or a feeling but rather a thing, like a chair or a fork.  If you say no quantifiable virus, you've never isolated the virus from anybody with COVID-19.  Further prefacing, he adds that Christian Drosten other virologists who were tasked with developing a test for this new Coronavirus were caught in a dilemma because they found nothing despite reports around the globe of vital contagion.  So let's see what they say.  Cowan reads the first sentence under "Background,"

The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for public health laboratories as virus isolates are unavailable . . . . 

Then he reads the stated Aim of the study.  Jaw-dropping.  I recommend you read it twice.  

We aimed to develop and deploy robust diagnostic methodology for use in public health laboratory settings without having virus material available. 

They had no virus to make a test to find a piece of the virus.  Therefore, the PCR test, the test which is being used all over the world to document cases, is a complete fraud.  They have never isolated a virus and said, "This is a unique piece of that virus," because they have no virus. 

Ah, are they the only ones? 

Then he quotes from a Pfizer document about making their mRNA vaccine.  

To build an RNA vaccine, scientists do not need the actual virus.  

In other words, Pfizer admits they have no virus with which to make a vaccine against.  They call it an actual virus as opposed to, I guess, a theoretical virus.  Now, I would change the word "theoretical" to say "an imaginary virus" or "a make-believe virus."  So they're using a make-believe virus, which they have never isolated, they don't know the sequence of, they don't know the components of to make a vaccine against this virus and God only knows what they're making a vaccine against.  

Here's another one, a paper published in Nature, which was one of the first papers published describing a novel coronavirus.  And a friend of mine, named Torsten Engelbrecht, asked him because he said he isolated the virus.  People have sent me about 20 different peer-reviewed articles, claiming they isolated the virus.  When you look at the paper, it's very clear that nobody has ever isolated the virus.  It's a fraud.  And we asked him, "Did you isolate the virus?" and he said, 

We did not obtain an electron micrograph showing the degree of purification. 

In other words, they didn't do what every peer-review journal, article has to do, which is to say, "Here are the steps we did.  Here's the pictures showing we have an isolated virus, . . ."  They didn't even take a picture and they admit they didn't isolate the virus.  

Here's another one.  Same thing: identification of a coronavirus isolate from a patient in Korea with COVID-19.  This was published by the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention, called the KDCA for Korean Disease Control Agency.  Essentially, it's the CDC of Korea.  So, we asked him, did you isolate the virus, because that's what it says in the title.  The answer was, "We could not estimate the degree of purification because we did not purify and concentrate the virus."  In other words, they have no virus.  

Here's another one.  Again, Isolation of the New Virus, "We showed seven virus particles not purified one.  The Canadian Health Ministry in a Freedom of Information Request, "Do you have any information on an isolation of this virus?"  Having completed a thorough search, we regret to inform you that we are unable to locate any records responsive to your request."  None of these groups who are organizing this have any example of an isolated virus.  If you've never isolated the virus, you have no way of knowing whether it causes disease.  Period.  And the test to identify a virus that you've never isolated, it's not false positive or false negative, it's just good, old-fashioned false.  It's meaningless.  So that's where we are.  I could go into how they misled themselves into thinking that they have this virus, but this is a scientific fraud.  And interestingly just three days ago, a group of European virologists and pathologists dissected this Drosten study and said this--the basis of using this study, which is the basis of all the PCR tests, all the testing is pure scientific fraud and they demanded that this journal retract the article.  

So, explain to me what's going on.  There are case reports, death reports, how all this happening and being reported on if there's not a virus? 

First of all, what are these people seeing at the site?  What is a virus?  So that's where it gets very interesting because that's where it leads you into understanding what is going on because in certain cases, like Chicken Pox, you do see these particles--I can show you a picture of them if you want--and they are at the site of the disease.  But we already know that just because you have strep in your throat, doesn't mean it's causing disease.  In order to prove causation, you have to isolate the virus, you have to take the Chicken Pox out, you have to prove you don't have anything else in there--no poisons, no snot, no nothing--just the virus, expose an animal to it.  They did that for 20 years and couldn't make any animal sick.  So the question is, "What is it doing there?" and it's a very interesting question because it gets into the question of how do we even know that it's coming from the outside?  Because it turns out when you have tissue, as I've described earlier, and you starve it and poison it, it packages up little pieces of degraded DNA and packages them up in particles as a detoxification and communication strategy.  In other words, if you break down the tissue, there's a poison-relief mechanism that we have erroneously called viruses.  They're coming from the inside: they're called exosomes, or intracellular vesicles.  Now, there's an article in a journal called Viruses, which looked at this question--how do we know that these are from the outside and not from the inside?  And they said something very interesting, "However, to date, a reliable method that can guarantee a separation of exosomes from viruses does not exist."  Everything that's a thing can be separated and isolated from every other thing.  If I had a fork here, I can separate it from a spoon because they're different.  There's only one reason I can't separate an exosome, which is a detoxification strategy from the inside from a pathogenic virus from the outside and that's because they're the same thing.  Something is poisoning the tissue.  The tissue packages up this degraded genetic material, and we mistakenly call those pathogenic viruses.  

FASCINATING

And here's where it gets interesting because we now know that those pieces of genetic material can resonate out into the world as a signal to other organisms that something bad has happened, that poisoning has happened and you should defend yourself.  This is how trees communicate.  If you get beetles eating a tree, they put out chemicals and other signals that communicate to the other trees that there are beetles around and you should defend yourself.  This is because the Darwinian model of evolution based on mutations and survival of the fittest is pure nonsense because it's way too slow.  If you were exposed to Glyphosate and one person had a mutation that allowed them to survive from that exposure, do you know how long that would take to spread through the whole population?  Like 10,000 years, if that even from Boston, for God's sake.  So, nature has another mechanism, which is called viruses, or exosomes.  So you package up this genetic material.  The DNA and RNA have a resonance just like women who communicate with their menstrual cycles through resonance.  A lot of unseen energy communicates through resonance.  That's what we call life.  And then the other organisms can make the same piece of genetic material and turn that into proteins to defend themselves.  So viruses are the mechanism of evolution.  They're the mechanism of adaptation.  A war on viruses is basically a war on evolution and adaptation.  It's a war on life.  So the question now is what is poisoning us?  Now when you look at the symptoms of the disease called COVID-19 and you forget about the virus--because the virus has never been isolated--it's basically imaginary.  So any therapeutics, or so-called maneuver, wearing a mask or social distancing or washing your hands to get rid of something that hasn't even been proven to exist is just nonsense.  It doesn't work at all, it just makes you sicker.

So what do we know about the disease?  Most of it are what are being called "Cases" are just PCR tests which mean nothing.  And I mean, mean nothing.  There are no false positives here because you cannot use that test without having compared it to an intact virus.  So a case means nothing.  Now, there are sick people.  Now, most of the sick people are just the usual sort of sick people.  But there are some sick people who are hypoxic and what's called a hyper-inflammatory state.  Now, how do they get hypoxic, it has nothing to do with viruses--viruses don't make you hypoxic.  But we do know from clear, scientific research, going back to the 1970s, the Naval Intelligent Research Institute did this, the Soviets did it.  There are recent papers on it . . . that if you expose a place to millimeter waves, otherwise known as 5G, three things will happen: one, you'll degrade the oxygen in the atmosphere, so you're essentially, this one ER doctor said, it's like these people are walking up the Himalayas.  His name is Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell, [who seemed to spot problems early on] he said they're in a low-oxygen environment, but they're in New York City or Wuhan or on a cruise ship that just had 5G installed.  And what's happening is the millimeter waves are degrading the oxygen in the atmosphere, so it's actually like they're on top of a mountain.  The second thing is 5G interferes with certain pathways in your mitochondria, which are organelles in your tissues that use oxygen to make fuel [energy].  We know this again, going back to research in the 1970s.  So you become tissue hypoxic, you're starving of oxygen because a) there's less oxygen in the atmosphere, and b) you can't use the oxygen that you do have and turn it into fuel which is the whole point of oxygen in the first place.  Exposure to millimeter waves, along with aluminum in the air, air pollution, fear, bad food, lots of things.  But millimeter waves is the new kid on the block.  And the third thing it does is that we know that it creates a hyper-inflammatory response, otherwise known as a cytokine storm, which is the body's way of getting rid of diseased tissue.  It's not a disease, but if you . . . basically, we're talking about radiation sickness.  So you radiate the tissue with millimeter waves, it breaks down, the body says "I have to get rid of this," it uses the same mechanism that we use to get rid of cigarette smoke or splinters.  You create an inflammatory response, which the unfortunate doctors, alternative and otherwise, say, "Oh, you have too much inflammation.  That's your disease."  Inflammation is your body's way of getting rid of dead and diseased tissue, but it can be so overwhelming that it actually kills you.  So you die from hypoxia and an over-enthusiastic inflammatory response and that is exactly what fits with COVID-19 from millimeter waves.  Now, I would point out that we have the epidemiology for this, we have the mechanism which I just went through, but people have criticized me for being very particular about viral causation.  We know that the virus has never been isolated, so you can't possibly know if caffeine is causing high blood pressure if you've never isolated the virus and never made any animal or person sick. So we know that's not the case, and I actually think we should do clear research to show once and for all whether millimeter waves, otherwise known as 5G, hypoxia and inflammatory, cytokine storms as basically the reason for this problem.

HIV WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE THAT VIRUSES DON'T EXIST, BUT DR. DUESBERG DERAILED THE MOVEMENT

Terrific session here from 4 conscientious doctorsDr. Tom Cowan [and hereDr. Andrew Kaufman [and here], Dr. Stefan Lanka, and Swiss virologist, Dr. Dean Braus.  Kaufman explains that the term "Antibody" comes from the German phrase "anti-toxin body," leaving out the "toxin" to get antibody creates this tension in meaning.  Thanks so much to CJ who points us to Dr. Cowan's stories at the 11:53 to 19:47 segment in the video.  

I liked what Dr. Cowan said, 

At the 41:50 mark, Kaufman references a book by Nancy Turner Banks, M.D., titled, AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire, 2010.

He says a bit later, 

Holding each other accountable has been taken out of the equation because everyone has been depending on government funding to do science.  This culture and philosophical shift has taken away the scientific pursuit of truth. 

Wow!  At the 49:20 mark, Dr. Cowan explains the psychology behind people wearing masks.  It is damning as well as frightening to those of us who recognize this.

He says, 

There's really only fear of one thing, and that is being ostracized from the tribe.  You will be kicked out and will be wandering in the wilderness and you're going to be eaten by a lion.  And you better not dissent, because if you do, your entire world will crumble.  This is similar to what Stefan was talking about.  You make your entire world view based on believing the narrative that you're being told and you live in fear that if you dissent from the narrative that your life will lose meaning and you will be devoured by the wilderness.  That, I would contend, is the very definition of a cult.  And so with all cults, they have certain signs that they do--they'll do this or they'll wear a mask.  There's only one reason for people to wear a mask and that is to demonstrate that you're a member in good standing with the cult.  If you don't wear a mask, you're a threat because you're not a member of the cult--I can see it--and you may tell me something and I am going to have to consider that my life is no longer mine . . . what you've done is you've stopped thinking for yourself, right?  That's what you do when you join a cult.  The leader, no matter what he does, no matter if he rapes your daughter, which happened in my family, or anything--you still believe because if not a member of the cult, then you have no life.  And that is an abrogation of what it means to be a human being.  And that's why it's so dangerous and that's why anybody who has dealt with cult members knows how difficult, I might even say impossible it is to help them out of the cult.  Because it's not about facts, or masks don't stop viruses, or vaccines don't prevent Aunt Bessie from getting sick, none of those things mean anything.  Because at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is my life will have no meaning if I'm not in this cult.  So you can't say, "Well, don't be in the cult" because then you've got nothing.  They would rather be dead than have a life without meaning.  No friends, no work, no nothing, I have nothing.  So somehow there has to be a way to help people find meaning.  And I don't even know if there's anyway to do this.  We all know how difficultt it is to disengage people from cults.  I know some first-hand stories, where the most horrendous things happen and people stay in the cult.  And you know what else?  All cults lead [to] death and suicide.  That's where they always lead because I--you know the human soul knows that it's almost better to disengage from this physical body rather than lead a life where you're not fully human.  So they'd voluntarily kill themselves rather than their spirit maintaining itself in that horrible situation.  I mean that's pretty pessimistic because we are up against an incredibly powerful, cultic situation.  And there is no easy solution, like, "Oh, well, let's do this . . . ."  It isn't like that.  54:15
