“I’ve diagnosed over 20,000 cancer patients in my career… I’ve NEVER seen anything like this.”
— Dr. William Makis, MD
Stage 4 breast cancers in women in their 20s.
Stage 4 colon cancers in men & women in their 20s–30s.
Leukemias that kill in days or even hours.
Lymphomas that kill in a month.
These “turbo cancers” are hitting vaccinated Canadian doctors, medical students, and residents — presenting at stage 4 and killing them in months.
99.9% of Canadian doctors took the shots.
This is not normal. This is not coincidence.
They injected the world with cancer...

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

A few years ago, Peter Thiel wrote to Mark Zuckerberg: 70% of Millennials say they're pro-socialist.
His conclusion: stop calling them stupid, and try to understand why.
His explanation was economic. Too much student debt, unaffordable housing, no capital. When you own nothing, you have no reason to defend the system.
He's right. But that's only half the story.
The other half is school.
School destroys critical thinking. Methodically. For fifteen years.
You learn to recite instead of question. To find the expected answer instead of the true one. To obey authority instead of reasoning for yourself.
When you've spent your youth outsourcing your thinking to an institution, it feels natural to outsource your life to an even bigger one: the State.
That's why so many end up Marxist. Not by conviction. By conditioning.
And that conditioning is about to become a handicap.
We're entering a world where AI does everything conformist, predictable and standardized better than we do. The only value left is thinking differently.
To create value tomorrow, you'll need to be neurodivergent.
And someone who thinks differently and reasons from first principles almost always ends up seeing the same thing: the State, as it works today, destroys more value than it creates.
It's no accident that Alex Karp created a fellowship at Palantir dedicated to neurodivergent talent. To him, in the age of AI, there are only two ways to have a future: master a real trade, or be neurodivergent.
But I'll go further than Karp.
I believe neurodivergence isn't the exception. It's the natural state of the human mind.
Look at a four-year-old. They ask hundreds of questions a day. They take everything apart. They refuse any rule they don't understand. They think from first principles without even knowing it's a thing.
Then they go to school. And we spend fifteen years normalizing them.
School doesn't shape minds. It sands them down.
The future belongs to those who survived the sanding.

In 1979, leftist students celebrated Khomeini. He’d promised a “democratic government” where “everyone will be able to express his or her opinion.”
Within a decade, the regime had executed thousands of them.
They thought they were on the right side of history.
Remind you of anything today?

The Left has begun to unleash a campaign of vengeance on @elonmusk. But did they even think this through?! Because it won’t end well for them.
Last Saturday, two chartered party buses, funded by a network of left-wing non-profits, rolled up right in front of Elon’s house. They danced in the street for an hour and hit a Cybertruck piñata. But wait... aren’t these the same leftists that were insisting just last week that Elon was buying the election? Maybe they were celebrating that they were wrong.
Then you have NYU Professor Scott Galloway. He went on stage and boasted to a crowd about taking a dump in the passenger seat of his own Tesla before selling it. I can guarantee Elon wasn’t hurt by that. The only people affected by his “protest” were whoever bought that car from him and whoever had to clean up that mess.
And now, there’s incoming Texas governor Gina Hinojosa. She’s already pressuring state agencies to hold off on SpaceX land deals right next to Starbase until she takes office.
And of course, there’s half of Congress that’s threatening to sue him into oblivion.
I have a serious question for all these people: How do you think this will end?
Elon is a trillionaire with a rocket company. If Texas tries to shut him down, he’ll just move to another state. If Congress tries to make his life a living hell, he’ll move to any other country that wants his businesses and innovations. I’m sure Argentina would love for him to build there.
And if the whole world turns on him, there’s always space.
When government power and mob tactics get unfairly weaponized against builders like Elon, they leave. But guess what happens after that? Because it’s even worse for our country.
The next builder doesn’t come. If the Democrats make an example out of Elon because of his political stances, it tells all future innovators that they’re not safe here. Not unless they fall fully in line... kind of like fascism.

Recently I told you there are two kinds of people in this system: cynics and believers.
Ursula von der Leyen, I put her with the believers. And that's exactly why you need to understand how the machine works.
Because cynics are very rare. Soros, I put him in that category: he knows exactly what he's doing, and he has never hidden it.
He read Popper, he has a theory of change, and he understood early on something the right still hasn't figured out: you don't change a society by winning an election. You change it by funding, for thirty years, the people who will write the reports, train the lawyers, and advise whoever wins the elections.
$24 billion spent by Open Society since its creation. More than 50,000 grants. In 2015, he wrote in plain text that the EU must accept at least a million asylum seekers a year, and mobilize NGOs, churches and businesses to take them in.
All of it is public. That's the most impressive part.
Here's how the system got hacked, in three steps.
Step one: selection.
Nobody recruits idiots. No need. The money does the selecting on its own.
A grant never goes to the person who doubts. It goes to the person who already believes. Repeat that over thirty years and tens of thousands of grants, and you get an entire ecosystem where the free thinker was filtered out at the door. He wasn't fired. He just never got funded.
What's left: people who are sincere, credentialed, conformist, and whose paycheck depends on the cause.
Step two: funding manufactures conviction.
Try explaining something to someone whose paycheck depends on not getting it.
The NGO produces a report. The report gets cited by an expert. The expert testifies before the Commission. The Commission turns it into a directive. And the NGO guy ends up in a cabinet, then goes back to a foundation.
Everyone knows each other, cites each other, funds each other. It's an echo chamber with a budget.
Step three: emotion.
You never debate results. You debate intentions.
One photo beats a thousand statistics. Every objection backed by numbers becomes a moral failing. And when reality contradicts the narrative, the dissonance always gets resolved the same way:
"It's a necessary evil."
"It's collateral damage."
"The real problem is elsewhere."
Immigration is never a problem. The problem is your perception.
The result: the system doesn't produce corrupt people. It produces NPCs. People reciting a script while convinced they wrote it themselves.
Ursula doesn't need to be bought. She has spent her entire career in an environment where every expert, every report, every "civil society" group tells her the same thing. She is convinced she's on the side of good. And that's what makes her immune to facts.
And the best part of the story: Soros isn't even the system's biggest funder anymore.
You are.
Between 2021 and 2023, €7.4 billion in EU funds went to more than 12,000 NGOs. The European Court of Auditors itself says it can't get a reliable picture of who gets what.
The hack worked so well that the machine now runs on your taxes.
This is not a conspiracy. A conspiracy hides. Here, the amounts are public, the op-eds are public, the recipients are public.
It's an incentive system. And you don't fight an incentive system by insulting the believers. You fight it by cutting off the tap and demanding total transparency: who funds whom, to say what.
As long as it stays opaque, they'll keep shipping believers at scale.

The year is 1956. Your mother is expecting you, and her doctor smokes through the appointment. More doctors smoke Camels than any other brand, the adverts say, and he tells her a few a day will settle her nerves and keep the baby small for an easy birth.
The year is 1960. Your first proper shoes come from a shop with an X-ray machine in the corner. You slide your feet into the slot and watch your own toe bones wriggle, green and glowing, while the assistant checks the fit. You go back every time your feet grow.
The year is 1961. Your mother is expecting your sister and the sickness is bad. The chemist has a new tablet, advertised as completely safe in pregnancy. Your sister arrives the next year alongside 10,000 other babies whose mothers took it, and some of them arrive without arms.
The year is 1964. Three sore throats, so the tonsils come out, as they do for over a million children a year on both sides of the Atlantic. Twenty beds, and the promise of ice cream. Nobody asks what the tonsils were for. They were the immune system, and the operation never did much for the throats.
The year is 1972. You are sixteen and every car on earth runs on leaded petrol. The lead comes out of the exhaust and settles on the playground, the vegetable patch and the blood of every child walking to school. The men who put it in the petrol knew what it did to a brain in the 1920s. The ban arrives in your forties.
The year is 1981. Your mother's hands have gone stiff. The doctor has a new arthritis tablet with the biggest launch the drug industry has ever mounted. Two years later it is pulled on both sides of the Atlantic, with dozens of pensioners dead whose kidneys could not clear it. She gets off lightly: the sun burns her on it, and she spends a summer behind the curtains.
The year is 1991. Your father is diabetic, and the dietitian hands him a sheet. More than half his calories are to come from carbohydrate: bread, potatoes, pasta, cereal. His sugar goes up on it, so his insulin goes up with it, and his waist follows. He does as he is told for twenty years.
The year is 1998. Your back has gone. The doctor has a new opioid, and the rep carries a letter from a medical journal saying addiction on it is under 1%. The letter is five sentences long. The company pleads guilty twice, and by the second time more than half a million Americans are dead.
The year is 2002. Your knees hurt, and the doctor has a new pill that is kinder on the stomach. You take it for two years, the same two years the maker is sitting on its own heart data. It is withdrawn with as many as 140,000 heart attacks laid at its door. Your heart was fine. The man next door's was not.
The year is 2008. Your wife has a prolapse after three children, and the surgeon fits a strip of plastic mesh. Once the tissue grows through it, it cannot come out. Australia apologises to its women in 2018, America bans it in 2019, Britain apologises in 2020. Your wife gets hers by press release.
The year is 2026. You are seventy, and the new doctor has a screen and a number for everything. The meat on your plate is a hazard. The oil in the bottle is good for your heart. The injection is for life. He is the age the first doctor was when he lit a Camel in front of your mother, and every bit as sure.
Not one of them was a rogue. Every one was the standard of care, taught to the next doctor, printed on the leaflet, and handed to a family with no way to check it.
You have spent seventy years as the experiment. The results come out after you are gone, under somebody else's name, and the chair you are sitting in is where they recruit for the next one.
