It was part plea for help and part political ultimatum when former Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon recently told former President Donald Trump that people are “desperate to have you stand for them” in getting pharmaceutical companies to release their safety data concerning his beloved poison poke. Either way, it’s something I have long been saying needed to reach Trump’s ears, then hopefully somehow convert his heart and mind to see the truth of what he funded.

While Trump’s rabid following remains robust, his broader base of support that pushed him over the top in 2016 is now reeling in the form of the most anemic on-the-ground, grassroots energy I have ever seen in my multiple decades covering the Iowa Caucuses. People simply don’t know who to trust or whether the political process is so rotten and rigged that it doesn’t even matter any longer. Add to that a feeling of betrayal by Trump himself on both the COVID and Jan. 6 fronts, and there is simply no way right now to make the electoral math work for Trump in 2024. His general election loss will be a certainty, and it will be deserved if he secures the Republican nomination on his current trajectory.

People are sick or dead because of Operation Warp Speed. In my home state of Iowa, where we were about as free from jab mandates as any place in the country, we’re still seeing all-cause mortality higher midway through 2023 than the average for 2017-19 — and up 4% over a year ago. Given the fact that excess deaths were up 17%, 12%, and 11% over the same time the previous year in 2020, 2021, and 2022, one would think we’d start to see deaths trending below baseline by now, but nothing like that has played out.

Something is very wrong, and this needs to be only the beginning of Trump admitting that his COVID emperor act had no clothes. Deaths by age demographic are even more astounding, with the 25-34 and 35-44 age ranges seeing 17% and 18% more deaths in 2023 than the 2017-2019 average, and that’s actually an improvement over the previous two years.

Yet here we are, with “get your COVID booster” narratives once again taking center stage. And why wouldn’t they, when accountability never seems to be on the menu? Even worse, we are viewed as suckers whose health will always be sacrificed when a buck can be made. A little birdie in the New Hampshire financial services sector told me as much, based on his connections inside the life insurance industry.

He was told in no uncertain terms by an insurance insider in May 2022 that the COVID jab had “obliterated” the insurance industry’s actuarial science tables. The genetic serum’s adverse effects, excess mortality, and health/age classes are blown so out of whack that the insurance industry began bottom-line triage operations to escape mounting costs, including raising term insurance rates, slashing commissions on life insurance producers, cutting whole life guaranteed interest rates by as much as half despite rising interest rates everywhere else, depreciating or shortening flexible funding riders, and declining the rate of insurance applications.

It’s an unambiguous attempt by the life and disability insurance companies to “grab back dollars to scrape back in their general accounts like I've never seen before,” according to my little birdie. Nonetheless, he also says the same insurance company his insider worked for was smack-dab in the middle of the national chorus running ads and clickbait encouraging people to keep getting injected with this obvious toxin and debunking so-called "vaccine misinformation.”

This should make you furious. This is what Tudor Dixon was talking about when she said the situation is desperate. Whether we are talking about individual health or the ability of freedom to ultimately win out over tyranny of all kinds, this farce must be exposed to the fullest and justice meted out with extreme prejudice.

I can feel the bile rise up in my throat as I sit down to write this column. A healthy society, a just society, or a sane society would have named medals of honor by now after the men I bring before you, instead of condemning them to financial uncertainty and career ruin.

But here we are, as Gandalf once said, still trading reason for madness on the most pathetic of scales. Nearly three and a half years after Covidstan came crashing down on our liberty and, later on in the form of the now-infamous jab mandates, infected our very hearts and other vital organs and bodily functions with a growing list of dysfunction and disease.

All Dr. Samuel Sigoloff and Lt. Mark C. Bashaw did is try to save people from that fate per the dictates of their consciences and the once-obvious demands of the Hippocratic Oath, along with many of the other heroes featured by Daniel Horowitz and me in our book “Rise of the Fourth Reich: Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial, So This Never Happens Again.”

Sigoloff is a family medicine physician and holds the rank of major in the U.S. Army, currently stationed at Fort Huachuca in Arizona. He was the medical director of the Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Clinic before he was suspended in September 2021 for writing COVID "vaccine" exemptions for patients upon their request.

Backed with information from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database that showed significant safety risks and harm in relation to the COVID “vaccine," as well as the concurring opinions of three other Army officers, Sigoloff turned whistleblower and initiated a lawsuit against the U.S. Secretary of Defense in order to deliver justice to those who signed up to serve their country as soldiers – not lab rats.

Similarly driven to whistleblower status, Lt. Bashaw served as a public health officer and company commander at the Army Public Health Center from January 2020 to June 2023. In November 2021, he refused to participate in further mandates as he forwarded information to his chain of command and members of Congress regarding the failure of interventions such as masks, tests, and injections, along with his objections to propagandized risk communication strategies, psychological operations, discrimination, and unlawful orders that were weaponized against both service members and the public at large. That earned Bashaw a court martial after 17.5 years of active duty for “unacceptable conduct” and a forfeiture of his retirement benefits.

These men both took an oath with the understanding that they would go as far as dying for their country in order to fulfill it. And now the government of that same country has told them to skip straight to the part about dropping dead, because they wouldn’t sell their souls to the Hydra-like magical power of vaccines.

Since that is a coup the majority of people still refuse to wake up to, those of us with open eyes and firmness of conviction are left to provide Sigoloff and Bashaw with the barest infusions of hope and honor as best we can.

To that end, I ask you to consider going to www.FourthReichbook.com to purchase a special hardcover edition of “Rise of the Fourth Reich” autographed by Daniel Horowitz and me, with the full profit from each sale being donated in its entirety to Sigoloff and Bashaw. Neither Daniel nor I will receive a penny from this limited, commemorative run. That’s the least we could do for our real heroes. Let us not just reward Sam and Mark for their sacrifice, but let them know they have not been forgotten.

Getting Donald Trump to admit his mistakes is the sort of thing that most people by now understand requires nothing short of a miracle.

And as it would happen, a miracle is also what was largely required if you were in the United States military during the COVID coup and wanted to avoid taking the poison poke.

Somehow, Iowa state Senator and Air National Guard Colonel Kevin Alons won the lottery on the latter, and now, feeling like he’s got the hot hand, he has decided to do what he can to use the Iowa Caucus process to turn Trump back from the dark side. Alons, whose late father was one of the state legislature’s conservative stalwarts for many years, posted a video on his nascent Twitter account that up until now has largely gone unnoticed — ironically, just like the escalating excess deaths, whose increase just happens to coincide with the mass injecting of Americans with a certain experimental mRNA sacred cow we’re supposed to ignore.

The video, which Alons titled “I want to endorse Trump for president but I need a fighter against medical tyranny,” hasn’t made anyone click-rich off its number of views. However, underneath the surface of all the bravado and poll-driven predictions that the presidential primary is already over, it symbolizes the silent sword of Damocles hanging over Trump’s presidential aspirations — particularly in a state with a significant medical freedom contingent like Iowa. And they all vote.

Alons is probably a name many in the media have never heard of, but he speaks for a lot of people who were caught in the crosshairs of Operation Warp Speed, which Trump has repeatedly bragged is one of his crowning achievements as president. In fact, one of Trump’s favorite pollsters, Rasmussen, released a survey back in January that found a whopping 28% of Americans “say they personally know someone whose death they think may have been caused by side effects from the Covid-19 vaccines.” Another 49% told Rasmussen they believe “it is likely side effects to the Covid-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths.”

“Biden essentially treated us as a felon [for refusing the jab],” said Alons, 54, who has served 29 years in the Air National Guard as a pilot. “I guess that was supposed to scare me, but it galvanized me. And it pushed me to run for office.”

Alons’ hesitancy to instantly support Trump again, especially the reason for it, is one of the major reasons why Trump now faces a formidable challenge for the nomination from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Florida remains the only state in the country that has issued any kind of safety alarm against the COVID mRNA shots, and earlier this year the Florida Supreme Court approved DeSantis’ request for a grand jury to begin both fraud and criminal investigations into the vaccine makers’ claims and associated risks.

“A lot of people say that having to take the COVID vaccine was just ‘one of those things’ that you had to give up when you signed up,” Alons said. “But that’s just terrible. How could that ever be? We are all supposed to be defending the Constitution. But people have already taken so many vaccines, they can’t accept the government is deceiving them. They don’t even understand how brainwashed they’ve become by the whole medical system.”

Unlike Alons, too many military personnel still have not had their rank, pay, and benefits restored after refusing the experimental genetic serum. Some of their stories are highlighted in my best-selling book, “Rise of the Fourth Reich: Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial so This Never Happens Again,” which I co-wrote with my Blaze Media colleague Daniel Horowitz.

Those subjected to the tyranny and tragedy spawned by Operation Warp Speed demand and deserve justice. They have been more than patient with Trump to hear their pleas, but time is running out for the former president to show them the empathy they’re requesting. Sooner or later, they are likely to seek justice elsewhere.

And one of those places could be voting for his main rival, DeSantis, on caucus night.

“It’s a matter of how many cards you have to play, and I’m not sure how many I have,” Alons said. “But we are racing to the point where people have to make hard choices instead of avoiding them.”

I believe in finding the victory in any situation. Perhaps that is especially true when apologizing.

So here I am, prostrating myself before God and country, Naomi Wolf-style. In fact, I see her humility and I am inspired to follow her example. I’ve learned my lesson. I wish to be made clean. And here’s the kicker: I have liberals to thank for it.

They were stone-cold right about stuff like forever wars and corporate greed. I couldn’t see it back in my “we’re America, b****es” 1980s jingoistic days. It simply didn’t compute to me that a heinous act like 9/11, perpetrated by cave-dwelling jihadists, could be cynically fashioned into the longest military excursion to nowhere in American history. Or at the end of America’s Afghanistan story would be an unapologetic homage to America’s ignominious exit from Vietnam.

It was almost as if failure and embarrassment were the point all along.

Back here in the homeland, my Alex P. Keaton wannabe younger self would never have dreamed that the free market was about as honest and noble as the dark corner where crack addicts and prostitutes conduct their “commerce.” Because it turns out the “free market” largely doesn’t exist at all.

We live in a command economy, too, it’s just that we march at the command of the mutual admiration society forged by big government and big business. Like when we supposedly have a pandemic, big government miraculously determines the billion-dollar big box stores were all safe and essential to stay open. Meanwhile, the small and family-owned businesses were nonessential super-spreaders or something. This, not coincidentally, activated perhaps the single largest transfer of wealth in human history – to the already wealthy. Robber-baronism isn’t any holier than Marxism.

Goodness, was I wrong, because somewhere along the line, proud American businesses did in fact become soulless global masters of manipulation like, for example, Big Pharma. All they did was take a bad flu (they) made in a Chinese lab and run with it to the tune of gazillions of dollars in profit. And they did so by suppressing all of the cheap and early treatments, in order to receive the emergency declaration required to sell a jab that protected almost no one while poisoning countless people.

And from whom did Big Pharma receive that emergency dispensation … err … declaration? Why, from big government, of course.

Again, shame on me, though. Because while I may be a total depravity guy, I still somehow fell for a version of that whole Francis Fukuyama “end of history” thing. I thought our propensity for evil would somehow be muted by mankind’s increasingly broad access to comfort and opportunity of all kinds. And yet it turns out that my trite notions of peace in our time, or the superiority of Western medicine, simply don’t come close to satisfying the endless lusts of those for whom power and control will always be the endgame.

The liberals of my youth tried to warn me about all this, especially in the really cool music they wrote or listened to, but even though I was jamming along, I wasn’t really listening. They told me “the man” was trying to keep me down, and it turns out they were right. For if these last three myocarditis-inducing years have taught me anything, it’s that I’m even more of a pawn than I am a person to those truly in charge.

Bob Seger was basically an Old Testament prophet in his classic song “Feel Like a Number.” We’re merely another brick in the wall to forces far darker and with greater reach than all the slippery slopes I had previously believed in and warned about.

Which leads me back to the beginning. How could I possibly declare a victory after all of this self-flagellation? Simple, really. It’s because I now get to ask this question: Why don’t liberals believe their own warnings any longer? Or were they ever even serious at all?

What else am I supposed to think when they now cheer on a World War III-provoking forever war in Ukraine? Or when they demand to this very day that healthy children be forced to take a jab that has proven to be the equivalent of sitting down at the Russian roulette table in the movie “The Deer Hunter”? When bands who vow to “rage against the machine” force their own audiences to be injected with a toxin to attend their shows?

My newfound liberal friends, here I am ready to consider how far down the rabbit hole goes, so where is the orgy of free thought and open minds that I was promised?

The liberals should be declaring the mother of all scoreboards on me. Instead, aside from a remnant like the aforementioned Naomi Wolf, or Russell Brand, or Joe Rogan, they have largely become meet the new boss – same as the old boss. Corporate America is the devil, man, unless its name is Pfizer. Then it’s holy writ, and I offer my body up to it as a living sacrifice, because the Spirit of the Age is truly contained within the substance I’m taking in.

True masculinity is not a leisure pursuit. It is not for the comfortable. It necessitates that you put something on the line for what you claim to believe in. To that end, meet an American hero named Kirk Moore.

The Utah doctor, along with two of his employees and a neighbor, was charged in federal court for allegedly running a fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination card scheme, destroying vaccine doses and administering saline shots to minors. Among the specific charges are conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to convert, sell, convey, and dispose of government property; and conversion, sale, conveyance, and disposal of government property and aiding and abetting.

Otherwise known as refusing to bend the knee to the fascist enterprise formerly known as the United States of America.

Too much? Yeah, you’re right. It’s not as if Tucker Carlson didn’t just confirm that the Jan. 6 narrative previously sold to us by all Democrats, almost every Republican, and the entirety of corporate media was a near-total fabrication aimed at bringing down a sitting president. And that's when they weren't attempting to forever smear anyone who would ever consider voting for him or someone like him again.

How many times do I have to say it? The calls are coming from inside the house.

Anyway, back to Moore. He understood that the only thing the COVID “vaccines” and their magical elixir power cured was critical thinking. And that's when they weren't working and poisoning you. So he simply began doing what he could, Underground Railroad-style, to set the captives free. He turned his practice into a modern-day hiding place.

No, this man shouldn’t be on trial for what he’s done. We should be putting him on our currency, like Harriet Tubman.

The absurdity of all of this is shown even more starkly when you consider the number of gender-bending surgeons and their grooming accomplices in the public schools who continue to plague our children’s minds, bodies, and souls like the locusts they are, yet suffer no consequences for manifesting the Island of Doctor Moreau whatsoever.

Yet here is this doctor, backed by multiple years of gathering evidence that the jab is a toxic enterprise. Thus he was saving lives by saving people from the jab. Nevertheless, he's about to get the January 6 prisoner treatment. Because Romans 1 is our home slice now.

These demonic people feed on fear and power, just like their true father. Our fear gives them power. It was our fear of a virus that gave them power over nearly every morsel of our lives the last few years, because it is our fear that paralyzes both our reasoning and conviction. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear makes both cowards and sheep of us all.

That's why an example must be made out of Moore. He acted in faith instead of fear. He understood there was a higher responsibility here. Hence he deployed both his reasoning (objectively looking at the evidence that this is a poison) and conviction (obligation to act courageously in light of that truth) and broke their power and control. Moore's example must not be allowed to spread, so he must be put down.

This is where we come in.

We will actually decide Moore's fate, not them. We will actually decide whether Moore will be memory-holed or emulated. Whether he will inspire more to defiance, or perspire alone under the weight of the tyranny. How many of you reading this right now are prepared to let your light shine in the darkness?

If you call yourself a child of God, please know He didn't bestow such a distinction upon you to hide that light under a bushel basket. He created you for true glory in defense of the good, the true, and the beautiful.
