Excellent reporting, and let me add that I enjoyed your interview on RTE the other day. I have followed Reinette for some time, having signed up w/AFLDS at the very beginning but rapidly becoming suspicious. Simone Gold quickly began to make a lot of it about her, and the feel of her leadership was suspect. When I first heard about so many people sending money & not getting help, I was sad for so many people but grateful that I never actively joined their operation.

The reality of people PAYING their own hard earned $$ for access to a medical consultation & early treatment meds, but getting NOTHING, breaks my heart. The entire corruption of medicine by Pharma.gov with greedy scammers lurking on the periphery is awful.

Keep digging & sharing!

Yes, it is sad and terrible. Back during the time I was witnessing all these people reporting their stories, I didn't have a way of communicating any of it to the public. So I'm grateful to have a platform now and support from people like you.

Jewish Loot and Neglected Fruit: How the Mainstream Right Serves Jews and Betrays Whites . . .

❝“Low-hanging fruit!” cry deluded right-wingers all over the West. “Why doesn’t my favored party on the mainstream right pluck that fruit and defeat the left?” Well, they’ve been crying that for decades and will still be crying it when the left pack them off to a slave-labor camp or an organic gas-chamber. Some of those right-wingers are too stupid to see the truth; some are too frightened to admit it. Their favored party on the mainstream right doesn’t pluck the low-hanging fruit because it doesn’t want to defeat the left. And it doesn’t want to defeat the left because it is the left. That is, it’s financed and controlled by Jews who support the left and its anti-White, anti-Christian, anti-Western agenda.❞

Oh wow, I just realized that awhile ago I saw a comment you made on one of Crawford's articles (cant remember which one) and it really stood out to me, it was very in line with my own thinking. I sent it to Mathew and said "who is this guy, do you know him?" I don't remember what his response was. Let me track down the comment. So nice you are here, thank you!

I appreciate that, although I seem to bang heads with him as often as I agree. He is great in his fields of expertise, but I find myself frustrated when people don’t understand the underlying medical concepts. “Pneumonia” keeps coming up, and I repeatedly try to explain this word is being by used in different ways, with different meanings. I am not aware of ANY evidence (for example) of people dying in hospital who had a secondary bacterial pneumonia that went untreated (no antibiotics). Many have died from not getting IVM, but that’s a different story.

The economic aspects of this ARE a great area for Mathew, and I strongly agree that a central element of this is a final “cash grab” before the dollar dies, as well as a distraction from the CAUSES of economic destruction: Fed printing in 2008 & beyond - although actually it was dead in 2008; if ONLY they had let a natural death occur, we would have a healthy economy on the other side of it. Now they have MORE power, GREATER wealth, and BETTER tools for surveillance & control. Our task would have been far easier 15 years ago!

Sure, we don't need to agree with each other on every point to find the dialog constructive. I cant find your comment, but I remember you talking about materialism, or a materialistic worldview, being a barrier for people, not just the "bad actors." I agree with that a whole lot. You also mentioned AI in relationship to materialism. Did you get a chance to read the interview I did with Gopi Krishna on AI? I find his concepts helpful in demystifying the AI illusion.

No, but I will look at it. My point was that we have roots as a Christian society, but are now totally secular. The secular humanist view depends on an atheistic/materialist worldview: all that exists is matter, energy, space, & time. There is no immaterial (non-physical) as it is mandatorily excluded from such a worldview. In such a framework you can’t really have a “mind” as the mind is immaterial, it has no physical properties. They speak of “brain.”

Such a worldview fits PERFECTLY with a Pharma goal that every problem has a chemical solution. Psychiatry has been deeply corrupted by such a view, minimizing psychotherapeutic modalities. They have lost the mind by focusing on the brain.

Ok - I am obviously going to have to start my Substack! It’s easier to just post comments, but then I have too much to share. How about this as a topic: the brain is the organ through which the mind interacts with the physical world. Implications ...

I encourage you to start your own substack. Can you email me privately at ccsfreedom@protonmail.com?

A rather lengthy email has been sent, AND I posted an introductory piece on “Wrestling with Truth” a title I first kicked around a year ago! Thanks for the spur!

Nice comments among both of you. Can I ruminate on the secular humanist? I don’t know a lot about this, but here and there pick up stuff. My father, an experimental engineer leans in that direction of materialism. But isn’t there immaterial in ‘dark matter’? That is such a big unknown, and the hubris of all these folks as if they know everything. We know a tiny bit about what ‘could’ be known. Am I too off track?

Expand full comment

Dark matter is a construct in physics, a theoretical solution to certain observations - but such observations are all in the physical world. This is what I mean by material vs immaterial. I followed my own father’s footsteps in engineering & science before moving into medicine. I have multiple topics outlined that I will be writing on, and perhaps may share some more personal vignettes. In the last years of his life, my dad turned back from his decades long agnostic/atheist understanding to the realization of God’s existence. He saw properties in the physics of the universe that SCREAMED the existence of a Grand Designer.

I'm sorry your friend was one of the many ripped off. It is really messed up how they preyed on vulnerable people.

This is why I've really taken a turn away from most of the front line doctors (most). They are raking it in. The regurgitation of sensationalistic and already known information is old too. I'm finding the smaller doc's, independent journalists, and the scientists fighting are where the gold is.

Really surprised that Sherriff Mack would be involved in this.

Expand full comment

I think there's more to the story we don't know about yet, so I'm suspending judgement on Mack for a little while with regards to the $350,000. I will wait to see what else comes out. But I do think it's clear that most parties involved were happy to take excessive amounts of money for their monthly salaries: $10,000, $20,000...including Mack, which is just not ok. I believe Simone was paying herself $50,000 a month. It seems no one was able to resist the temptation once they had their hand in the coffer.

Gosh, no wonder she needed 3+million to buy a house in Florida. I can’t imagine trying to get by on only $50k/mo! Must have been eating Alpo for dinner 🙄

That's a fair position to take.

It IS disappointing. I’ve never met the man but I have followed his work over the years. The temptation to pocket some cash when others are doing it is normal, resisting that temptation should be what sets us apart.

Totally agree!

What a shame! Who can you trust?

Hi Ana, I appreciate your question because the theme of trust came up a number of times during the interview with Mathew Crawford. Though I agree with the sentiment people should be careful with their trust, I think it's important to trust people too. Personally, I have a practice with trust such that if I think a person is trustworthy, I consciously choose to give them all of my trust with an understanding that I may have to meet the consequences if I made a poor decision. AFLDS was always suspicious to me, so I may have a different barometer than most, but all to say I find it personally important to exercise trust in my life. So yes, I don't give it away too easily, but I also have no interest living in a completely trustless world.

AMEN! That is the other issue I disagree with Mat - his tendency to suspect bad motives in others surfaces quite easily. I understand given what he has shared about his experience as a kid. I keep intending to write a LONG private email to him via Protonmail, then question if it is worth the effort. He seems very busy, don’t want to make the effort of it has no audience.

I wrote elsewhere that it’s time for me to stop procrastinating & write my own Substack. I’ve even put that off because “there’s already so much else to read, is anybody really interested in another?” Then again, I have a broad range of knowledge & experiences in many different areas, it may be useful some. Given my professional background, I’m a bit slow to do things in a more public arena.

As you wish, my friend! I have begun my Substack with a bit of an introductory post. It is called “Wrestling with Truth” and I sincerely hope to provide something worth reading and considering. At least it will keep me from filling up comment sections with long dissertations 🙃

THANKS! It is a brief introductory piece, but I will be writing in greater detail about various things I have commented on in other places. This form of communication is quite valuable and necessary giving the intensity of censorship. Imagine HOW LITTLE any of us would know without internet access. Listening to the radio or watching TV we would have no idea about deaths from vaccines, about ruined lives, about effective treatment. Of the level of corruption in our nation.

Wow I had no idea. But I paid little to no attn to these folks after the initial publicity back in, when was it, 2020? Then when Gold went in jail I felt it all seemed farcical. It’s very sad how many have been scammed. Reminds me of the Biden family. They have created a model.

My name is Jess Abu. Your interpretation of me is wrong. I left that organization because it was fraudulent. I am a freedom fighter EMT out of MA that was working in pulmonary when all this went down. Your interpretation of my role is wrong. I was duped like the rest of the donors. I did what I could to save AFLDS from my position working with the citizens, went on Stew to get the word out and spoke with Reinette. I had no role in finances or ever got to see any of that. I had no clue anything was even going on until the lawsuit dropped. The Board and upper level management kept people like me, people with integrity, far from ever seeing their fraud and blowing the whistle. Within days I was being hounded for passwords and member lists. I refused. Was shut out for it.

There are a lot of details you are missing out regarding Christina and P8 groups, yes. That did happen, but it was an internal drama thing. Christina got fired, and instead of handing over control of the telegram channels, she decided to kick all other admins out, change the name, and start her own "freedom groups". It was insanity. I lost A LOT of research I had stored in my own state group because of that and had to start from scratch with all of our groups.

I'm not sure why you were getting removed for asking questions?? We were very tight nit for the most part, only a couple dozen at any one time active. That shouldn't have happened. I was the National Director, appointed after Christina was fired, and I wouldn't have stood for that, unless you were spamming or posting irrelevant content. Would love to talk and clarify!

I'm back working on an ambulance now, getting my certification in holistic medicine and fighting tyranny locally. Lesson learned from this was to never get involved with a "non-profits" again and I don't blindly trust any big name/face in any movement, there are frauds everywhere.

Also...going to the police was never an option for me because I have no evidence of financial fraud just my assumptions from what I experienced and heard from other staff. I never had access to finances, which was far beyond my role of helping citizens take action locally. Everything I did, I did with full love and devotion to my country and humanity. That was why I chose to speak out, I felt, and still feel, that I had no other options. I am a longtime healthcare professional (~20yrs), currently an EMT, former Army medic, and a passionate defender of humanity. I wasted about 2 years of my life working for a group of greedy serpents that used hard-working, patriotic citizens like myself to perpetrate their fraud. I and a handful of others employed, who worked hard for the cause and medical freedom movement, were used as cover so a bunch of power and money hungry fame-seeking weirdos could extract money from desperate Americans. It makes me sick to this day.

I can answer all your questions, and would love to have the opportunity to clear my name and give you an idea of the egotism, psychosis, lies, and greed I experienced first hand. I would love to do something more about this, you mentioned I never went to the police, I have no 'proof' of theft, just what I read in the lawsuit and the rumors from staff after the filings. Open to any and all advice to get some justice for the fraud that AFLDS enacted on the American people.

HI Jess, reaching out via email now.

I agree that local affiliations with known and trusted individuals is the safest way to resist the totalitarian thrust. They have so much control over everything. Maybe study asymmetric conflict?

Still, it isn't over yet. We have a Nation, and a constitution worth defending. Yes, any national database can be used to identify us. They already know who we are by the media we consume. Standing tall has a lot to recommend it.

I gave to AFLDS. They had an important message early on. Turns out they are corrupt. They should be chased legally, but the movement is more important.

I joined Convention of states organization. Volunteers everywhere, prayers that begin every zoom. People working hard to make a difference, and emphasis on creating grass roots organization. Health freedom is only one freedom. We need to restore justice for all in this country. The dark money is at the root, I believe.
