I think many of these college educated people should go visit Venezuela, Brazil, China, Ukraine and experience other countries

And stay there. Go to the American Embassy, the only one withe the shameful pride flag, and denounce their citizenship. Burn their passports and live in the squalor of these fascist hellholes. In China the should put on their clown makeup and bizarre burlesque outfits and pretend to be women That will entitle them to the peak China experience in a slave labor camp.

It’s not the blue collars living in the real world that are ignorant, it is academia and their minion students that share an abundance of ignorance.

I have a masters degree and maintain being rooted in reality. Granted, I learned a lot more about common sense and decision making grounded in actual outcomes the 3 seasons I worked as whitewater river guide in WV on the New and Gauley.............. my friends who love outdoor adventure as much as my family lived as normally as possible, didn’t mask, kept kids in school in person, and are pure bloods (as we are). Can’t say the same for many of my urbanite grad school buddies. There is something humbling and instructive about seeing cause and effect that’s undeniable. 🤷‍♀️

Why’s that a surprise? Most of their parents were little mask wearing, juiced up, compliant communists. Might as well exhume and cremate the bodies from Arlington Cemetery and build a 15 minute city on the land.

One thing is pretty clear: American colleges and universities do NOT teach "critical thinking". If they did, a large swath of the academic tripe students are force fed would be rejected the minute the grades were recorded.

In Life, you might have to tolerate being exposed to bullshit but it doesn't mean you have to believe it and carry it away with you.

John you complement Dr. McCullough very well. Thanks for your excellent writing. It must be pointed out that “have they lost their minds?” has an affirmative answer and a medical cause. So, commentary on weird political and social trends is appropriate for your substack after all. The proliferation of vaccines throughout the population is an attack on the gut flora that can’t easily be fixed with a diet of fast food, Coke and Bud Light. Americans are literally impaired ... the hardcore autistic children whose lives and those of their folks are in tatters are the tip of a bloody spear, with degrees of cognitive degeneration marked as rings along the shaft. Remember the massacre of 61000 “laptop” millennials in Q3’21? They soaked up the escalation of childhood vaccines from 1986 forward and died as their chronic immune suppression collided with the mandates. The gut-brain interaction is by now well known but ignored at the risk of generations ongoing. And it’s not just vaccines. It’s just about everything pharmaceutical. It’s pollution first and foremost. It’s an effect ... destruction of the microbiome ... that can be measured. And it’s NEVER good. It’s impossible that broad societal problems do not follow.

As have so many if not most of the so-called "professors" indoctrinating them. The universities themselves have become such hopelessly feckless bastions of wokeness that are now utterly untethered from the grounded reality your brother must navigate daily John, to his great credit I might add.

Who’s been teaching them with billions behind the doctrines for a couple of decades now? Can they be de-brainwashed or is it too late? So awful that most are just coming to understand this.

This is why Trump was such an interruption to their plans and cannot be forgiven for getting in their way, nor can he possibly get in their way again. And somehow, it will amazingly all be blamed on the man.

He was the President who declared an Emergency in all states simultaneously, which in turn set in motion the NSC and FEMA being put in charge of the Pandemic Response instead of HHS. And the ‘medical counter measure’ from DARPA (aka mRNA “vaccine”) followed at Warp Speed, along with all the shutdowns and mandates. So NO, I do not trust him not to do the same again.

Not saying I do or don’t.

In an attack, does the HHS direct anything? And exactly who did all of the damage concerning ingredients ? Are you saying Trump planned all of the chaos following including the tyrannical - like divisions we see playing out between just about everyone and everything? (Boards and Drs, families, parents and school boards, government and churches, etc, etc). I don’t know - just asking for your thoughts.

And if the opposition would have been in place, perhaps the path we, the west, are on might be much further along.

From 30k feet up, and looking through the prisms of totalitarianism history, it’s beginning to look very interesting.

The virus supposedly came from a meat market in Wuhan, so we were told, while the response implied a bio terror attack, something very different.

I agree there is plenty of blame to go around at all levels of government. And I do not think Trump planned any of it. However he was the one person who alone, or with the guidance of a competent administration, could have changed the outcome. That is after all why we elect a President. Because this enormous catastrophe happened on his watch, or at least got off to a very strong start on his watch , I would not give him a 2nd chance. Or Biden either. Just my opinion.

Not sure I would either. I agree with much, if not most of what you said. The most important thing going forward is this cannot happen again. This is the reason Truth must be spoken all over the time, loudly and clearly. Those still in “mass formation” must be broken out - or they are doomed and soon enough. Matthias Desmet says the cure is to speak truth always. It’s the only way.

BTW - Did Trump ever say it came from meat market? He always acted like it was an attack. Sanctions, etc. It was Fauci, et al who lied, reflected in FOIA docs. David E. Martin’s disclosures, etc.

I am extremely disappointed that Trump doesn’t/ won’t discuss now.

Thanks for the chat!

Thank You for your reply. I do not know what Trump said or believed. I did not watch when they did the briefings, because I could not listen to Fauci drone on and on.

Perhaps Trump did believe it was an attack. I always speculated that the USA had developed the virus and released it, to blame China with a false flag attack. Also Fauci had said there would be a viral pandemic during Trump’s 1st term, and there was the Gates/Johns Hopkins Event 201 just months before the pandemic. 🤷‍♂️

I also find the Matthias Desmet “mass formation” stuff fascinating and scary at the same time.

I maintain Trump is not part of the system and therefore electing anyone else would put us right back with the globalists in charge

Reality is gritty and the elitism that ignores the every day person is an isolation that harms. Surround yourself with interesting people and you will not be in a total echo chamber. My problem is that when a real discussion arises, it's often crickets, or MSM talking points. Not sure people have lost their minds, but they have allowed their brains to be lazy and sluggish. Discovery is the fountain of youth, imo.

I am an economist. I have heard many explanations about what's going on with young people about how businesses have changed about how marketing has changed and none of this makes any sense to me. My wife is a graduate of Stanford, and she is appalled by the episode and which a federal judge came to speak to the law school and was treated extremely shabbily, ultimately greeted with the term “is the juice worth the squeeze?’ Stanford isn't the only place that has red-lined conservatives and more generally people who simply are not into the most loopy lefty lifestyle.

As a matter of logic I find it impossible to wrap my mind around the idea that children need to start taking their sex-change hormones at age 12, long before many of them have gone through puberty, before they really know what sex is, before they've been able to drive a car, or drink alcohol legally. We used to call 18 the age of reason or at least the age of majority. What in the heck do we call the age of 12 - the age of perversion??

I'm incensed about turning everything into a contest to see if there's racial balance. Nothing in the economy works based upon racial balance. You're not going to find racial balance among doctors, among lawyers, or among basketball players in the NBA - how about that?

The economy is supposed to work on a merit system not on a quota system. And if we're going to have a quota system you can only imagine how many groups at this point have not even been identified let alone allotted ‘their’ quota.

The idea that we would pay stipends of money to the descendants of slaves, completely boggles my mind because they just left Native Americans totally out of the equation. Native Americans were treated far worse than slaves. They were hunted, they were killed, their property was taken, they were lied to, their treaties were abrogated, and they were put on the most worthless land in America… until they discovered minerals on it, and then they were moved off of that land to someplace else, again.

The only conclusion I have here is that woke rhymes with joke for a reason. There's nothing about this ideology that makes any sense. And if there's a moral high ground somewhere, it's certainly true that Democrats don't occupy it. Democrats have pretended to be the party that had the back of people of color for years and years and they've never advanced their case one bit. Look at the inner cities and the schools that prepare these people for the future… it’s where black populations are concentrated and where, of course, they are also represented by black representatives and you don't find any efforts to try to improve these areas. Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and NYC…the bad areas of these cities remain the bad areas of these cities. The democrats have dominated politics there; when black representatives get elected their votes are repurposed for other things democrats desire, not attending to the problems of the black people they are supposed to represent. When the Democrats change that maybe I'll be willing to see them as advocates for the people they claim to be advocates for. Until that day, I look at them as the problem. As things stand now it's Republicans who are trying to push the charter schools and it's Democrats who are trying to stop it because they're trying to defend teachers unions!! Democrats have made their choice; they've chosen the teachers unions over the education of black children. This tells me that things in America aren't going to change until we can get black voters to vote for Republicans.

I have not followed the controversy about Bud Light, so the article makes no sense to me. If the people were boycotting the woke philosophy, I wish them success.

I sincerely try to be polite in my comments to Leake and McCullough, and this post pushes my limits. Here Leake is essentially saying the opposite of what has been known for millennia: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD STUDENTS; ONLY BAD TEACHERS.

Agreed, many college/university students (American in-particular, so-called "Western" in general) have indeed "lost their minds." But what was the process? Internal to them? NOT A CHANCE! As a captured audience, their mental demise came to them from the outside; imposed upon them by so-called "authority," such as college professors and most poignantly UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORS; the latter an utterly despicable tribe !

What next, is Leake/McCullough going to claim that the students (in the context of their "lost minds,) self-inflicted upon their health/person the horrific crime of MANDATORY mRNA NEEDLES ???!!!

Nooooooo, Mr. Leake/Dr. McCullough......the students have NOT "lost their minds" in the sense you suggest...their minds were commandeered by unscrupulous Marxist NWO skanks that have infiltrated every aspect of Western life . . . Big Academia in-particular . . . while the non-attendant has been lauding and massaging themselves with "success" and/or "fame."

My most recent letter to the TWENTY Ivy League administrators . . . their presidents (8), their medical school deans (7), and their law school deans (5) :

As you can see, the Subject of my letter:

DEMAND THAT IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORS RESIGN IMMEDIATELY :

OVERWHELMING AND ONGOING EVIDENCE OF YOUR “COVID-19 PANDEMIC” CRIMES AND CRIMINALITY

My preamble video connected to the above Ivy League resignation demand letter :

Thanks for your comment, Paul. Please consider that the Bud Light "365 days of womanhood" is plainly nonsensical. College professors have been purveying ideological garbage for decades, but American adults were still able to recognize patent nonsense. It seems to me that what has been going on in recent years is not so much rooted in University level teaching, but in a general lack of contact with reality that afflicts people who went to college and have spent their lives working at desk jobs. I suppose one could argue that they never learned critical thinking skills, but how much critical thinking ability is required to recognize nonsense? Working guys who have to frame a house, lay a foundation, or install plumbing and electricity cannot countenance nonsense because physical reality will immediately and catastrophically assert itself. Best regards, John Leake

Brainwashing versus intelligence, common sense, and logic. Their minds were stolen, not lost. It’s just one more thing we have to add to our list of “Things that are broken that need fixin.” Parents are going to have to take some responsibility too for not protecting their children’s minds from strangers who don’t have their best interests at heart. We dropped the ball and are paying dearly for it. We are learning great lessons from our lack of participation in shaping our society, holding people accountable, and demanding transparency.

I miss America! It disappeared right before my eyes. I can’t wait for an even greater America in the future. It will take a lot of work, but it will be better because we’ll really be free, and we’ll prosper from the fruits of our labor. There will be transparency and accountability, and our politicians will work for The People and not their corporate masters. All the wrongs will eventually be righted, and the children will know what it’s like to be a truly free people, and they will be allowed to be children, know competition, respect the elderly, and know that cherishing family and being kind, loving, and considerate is the key to having a successful life.

The universities of today are nothing like they were 20-30 years ago when there was a sensible and reasonable instruction. They’ve been totally hijacked by the garbage minds of the left who couldn’t reason if they tried - you should see the silly buggers coming into the work force from these so called top universities- completely useless
