I’ve often wondered about the possibility that MWD is AI generated…as much as I have enjoyed several pieces.

Wow! I am pinning this.

It never occurred to me, but it is definitely a possibility, because (s)he showed up after Mercola basically announced his resignation. That means that Mercola can be AI as well, but it doesn't matter, if one can discern red-flags in the articles... The AI MUST post facts as well in order to stay a bit credible a little longer...

Mercola is real. I work with people who have worked with him, corresponded with him. In the ago. Tragically he has been captured by New Age cultists who found his vulnerability, a messiah instinct that so many accolades received over the years built up inside him. His ego. He truly believes he is here to save the world. And he foolishly welcomed bad actors into his inner circle who have catered to his ego, promised him earth and heaven awaits, that he is The One. We all have vulnerabilities. Typically of the Seven Deadly Sin variety. The baddies find and exploit them. All men are fallen. Only God is without sin, unexploitable. We do well to remember that about any men. And ourselves.

Mercola used the contents of my book for years, and lagged years behind. He also hired ghost writers who kept contradicting each other. He is also pushing pharmaceuticals... No, he didn't have to change, but he might have.

After nine years of subscribing, I was kicked out sometime in early 2020, because I expressed my doubts about "vaccinations."

If you search for "Mercola" under "Archive" on my main page, you might be entertained with further details. :)

He, just like MWD, is thinking in the fraudulent Rockefellerian "madical" paradigm, which needs to be replaced with something better. My call for it didn't even make it to the "top 100" list:

On my part, I don't believe he did anything "foolishly."

I have several projects in the works; one of them is about the way people's vulnerabilities are exploited...

And no, I am anything but perfect. I am here to call for personal responsibility by people who are able and willing to go that way. In that case, "we" will not have to network, because each one of us will know what to do.

I submit to you for your consideration that you will find most of the ways people's vulnerabilities are exploited are rooted in the Deadly Sins. And that the time-tested way to help people lean into their own personal responsibility is through their faith - true faith - in God, and humble service to him. God gives us discernment and free will. If we practice and use them - with God as our guide - we will always know what to do, even without networks.

Happened to my colleagues about vaccines in 2020, as well. Many who once had long relationships working collaboratively with him. He actually had been one of the biggest donors to the National Vaccine Injury Center up until earlier this year when he suddenly pulled funding. Around the same time he fired his sister and other staff, replacing them with New Age gurus and a DC corporate attorney and DHS legal consultant, who is now president, Laura Berry.

Laura Berry is aka Laura Jordan:

This is Mercola's CEO today. Trustworthy?

I did even more sleuthing to reveal more about her previous clients and her connections to the New Age Guru who speaks in tongues Mercola now touts as his closest spiritual adviser. Too long for this comment.

(not that the government has any money; it is using yours) WRONG!!! The only reason the feds tax us is to make us THINK they need the money and to impart "value" on a worthless currency.

"The Federal Government, with the cooperation of the Federal Reserve, has the inherent power to create money--almost any amount of it."

~ The National Debt, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, p. 8

ALMOST? Why only ALMOST? What keeps them from creating ALL they want? You? Me? Your dog? A full moon?

Federal Reserve Notes are not federal, represent no monetary reserves and no longer conform to the definition of notes. Failing to state who, will pay what, when or to whom - they ceased to be legal tender notes, (offers of money) almost 60 years ago. They are in fact instruments of legalized THEFT.

"...Keynes argues that inflation is a 'method of taxation' which the government uses to 'secure the command over real resources, resources just as real as those obtained by [ordinary] taxation'. 'What is raised by printing notes, ' he writes, is just as much taken from the public as is a beer duty or an income tax.' "

- 1980 Annual Report, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, pg 10

"All the paper money issued today is Federal Reserve notes. The real backing for the nation's money is faith in the strength, soundness and stability of the American economy."

~ The Hats the Federal Reserve Wears, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, pg 4

Faith is what backs our monetary system. YOUR faith. Do you still have faith?

"When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."

~ Frederic Bastiat in "The Law"

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation,

governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."

~ 1980 Annual Report, Federal Reserve

Bank of Richmond, pg 6

Isn't confiscation of the wealth of the citizens a nice way of saying STEALING?

"Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience." ~ John Locke (1690)

If the money you earn has no value and you are forced through fiat paper legislation to take it for your labor, are you not having your property (labor) destroyed and are you not being reduced to nothing but slavery? Is not the state at war with the people?

5th Plank Communist Manifesto: Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a “national bank” and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.

"The writers of the constitution knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote in Article I Section 10 paragraph 1 'No state shall... make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts. ' People able to barter with gold and silver coin control government and are free. Loss of the right to trade in gold and silver coin enslaves people to the creators of psychological 'money.'":

Short, simple. At age 15-16, my son said: “dad, people suck”.

For over 20 years I have verified how true that really is…

Just being really real by observation and living by natural law, mainly do no harm.

Your welcome to your thanks and vice versa…

Look at Philip McMillan's substack as well. I liked Chetty and he's a mate so cut him some slack but the latest title about vaccines and trust pissed me off no end.

I was warry of MWD ever aince i read something along the lines that "mistakes were made". Not a chance and I commented as such for which she/he/it replied. Never read anything from that source after that.

Those reports about "mistakes" are usually limited hangouts, aiming at (re)gaining the audience's trust...

If you know what is relatively reliable, even MWD must reveal old information that might still be proprietary... I published about that already in 2022:

the most recent MWD article is badly written, including typos, linguistic mistakes (about its content one can argue one way or the other: "....As I investigated the fires, seeing all the forces at work led me to a rather sad conclusion—like the 2018 Camp Fire (where the displaced residents were priced out of returning), it would almost inevitably lead to a large number of people being permanently displaced from Maui as very few resources would be devoted to addressing their needs and there was a lot of money to be made in replacing them. My goal in writing that article was hence to do something to help prevent that from happening. Sadly, now that a year has passed, much of that has come true...." - https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/maui-one-year-later

word salad. Ai? perhaps!

The Maui article is also a bad joke, suggesting nonsense...

For Controlled Opposition and propaganda to work, real life or AI construct they must be built around truth. Limited Hangouts are useful for this construct, the truth's revealed gain the credibility of participants who seek others who "know" what they've learned to be hidden truths. CO uses hidden truths to convey lies as truth to an opposition movement in order to disable and/or discredit them.

I shared an old newspaper clipping I've hung onto for 44 years because it seemed like a really important concept for me to learn and remember as a curious teenager. About the Credibility of Three. A technique that was (is) taught by the OSS/CIA in spy training school. How to lie. Embedding the lie in several verifiable facts. Making the lie believable. Same concept as propaganda. And Controlled Opposition. Presented as entertainment by a feature columnist in the local newspaper. Here's my old Stack on it:

Actually, MWD used bait-and-switch:

I see. Another practice of deception, controlled opposition. Is actually the purpose of it, to round up the sheep who stray from the herd, redirect them back into the pen leading to the slaughter house. It is an extension of the Credibility of Three psychology. Built up credibility to gain trust in the most important lie.

An interesting study paper from 1969 about the credibility of media broken down by media format. I came across it searching for a dissertation paper on "The Credibility of Three" by the same author in 1968. It is cited as a footnote, but as an unpublished dissertation paper at the Univ. of Wisconsin. I've been unable to find it in searches, will continue to look. But this has its own interesting presentation of how we trust media. Note: It was written 55 years ago, television was still in its relative adolescence. I believe the results for the credibility of that format have changed, especially since it cautioned that if opinion/editorializing in television news became as blatant as in newspapers it would also lose credibility. Submitted for your edification:

ALL dissertations MUST be registered AND copyrighted, so the Library of Congress MUST have them available.

This is what I have to go with. If you have suggestions for searching LOC for the actual dissertation I'd appreciate it:
