With moonlight pouring through my bedroom window and me therefore unable to sleep further I was delighted to find this essay in my feed from Dr. Alexander. Thank you!

I’m so grateful to have been present at the Free Speech in Medicine conference this weekend. Your presentation brought tears to my eyes Dr. Christian, and it gives me hope for the future as we shine much needed light on the institutions and structures that have been designed to maintain power and control over the populace. Thank you for your service.

How wonderful it must have been to hear those words in person surrounded by people of like minds.

Wow. What a powerful and moving essay. One of the best I've read in a long while. I hope you are writing poetry. I had not thought of the difference between bearing and using suffering. True. You give me hope that all is not in vain. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It is wrong to claim that Nazism is a RIGHT-wing position. It was the National Socialist Workers' Party that legislated racism. Both forms of totalitarianism are LEFT-wing ideas. The other end of the spectrum is in fact Anarchy. So-called "right-wing" conservatives and Libertarians favour small governments that do NOT interfere in the lives of the citizens beyond what is absolutely necessary and as little taxation as possible. The reframing of NAZI totalitarianism as "extreme right" was a deception on the part of Soviet communists who were embarrassed to be linked to the naked racism of 1930s German Nazis which used to be correctly understood to be a LEFT-wing (socialist) political party. It is the so-called "progressive", "liberal" LEFT that is driving the postmodern drift away from Science and reason and promoting Totalitarianism as the means of forcing their bizarre beliefs on the rest of us.

Thank you. I noted that, too. I'm one of those almost-anarchist "libertarians" who despises government and most of those in it because of the very kind of person those organized crime syndicates attract.

As an American, I noted the compliment toward Lincoln. That man was a mad man, a maniacal murderous loon who violated his oath to the Constitution by ordering the invasion of the free, sovereign Confederate States. Lincoln's goal had everything to do with forcing the maintenance of what was supposed to have been a voluntary union and nothing whatsoever to do with ending slavery. Paraphrasing, Lincoln said that if he could save the Union by freeing the slaves, he would, and if he could save it without doing so, he'd do that, too.

The concentration of power away from the States and into the federal government during the Lincoln era and after helped pave the way for the greatest threat to peace and decency and morality and freedom in the world -- the United States federal government, a.k.a. the world's largest and deadliest organized crime syndicate.

Some think they are living their best life now but we believers know that the best is yet to come...our Blessed Hope!....1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 & ending with verse 18 "Therefore, comfort one another with these words".

Thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom & comfort you have spoken at the conference. Blessings

I was sent here by the indefatigable Paul Alexander. By some odd quirk of fate, I had a minor revelation yesterday evening that all pain and problems, all obstacles, yea, even the traps set by The Enemy himself, are there to teach us, if we would only see them as such. And here I am, today, my insight (surely a divine gift) confirmed and rewarded in such eloquent terms by your beautiful essay. Synchronicity happens all the time if we could only pause and notice it. Many thanks: I share your optimism, though in the spirit of Admiral Stockdale, I expect many trials and challenges to overcome in the future.

This is incredibly written and has expressed perfectly the events and changes in society of the last three years, and over the last several decades. Thank your for this.

Articulated so well. Professionalism in science was always about seeking reality not ego, not propaganda for me. I have always been dismayed by those who did not uphold that uncorruptible ethic. For history does not remember or care. The reality is what counts in the end.
