I’ve been thinking that now that we understand new things critical to fixing the world, isn’t it time that we began directing new capital into the communication and implementation of those things.
*
Once we knew what railroads could do there was an explosion of financing for them. That has to happen for the Emergence of Freeorder as well.

Some readers of this substack have accumulated large amounts of non-monetized wealth by investing (for some time) in a new technology of monumental significance (not an exaggeration). We are now seeking conversations about how to monetize that wealth while directing large parts of it to the Emergence.

Berenson defeats Biden Administration — Alex Berenson reports:
V
“The Trump Administration has admitted the Biden White House's constitutional violations and settled with me. Time to focus on Pfizer for its role in the 2021 conspiracy to silence the unvaccinated.”
*
'The agreement includes a six-figure payment and a statement “the Government did in fact violate the First Amendment by exerting substantial coercive pressure on social media companies such as Twitter to suppress disfavored speech like Plaintiff’s.'
*
A remarkable victory. Berenson’s strong hand has squeezed champagne from a stone.

“Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID‐19 Vaccine‐induced Myocarditis” ••• [dr. william makis, substack]
*
Dr. Makis writes, 15 May 26: “BREAKING NEWS: Our paper: “Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID-19 Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis” just won the Award for “Top Viewed Article!” I am shocked but honored! Congratulations to my amazing co-authors: Dr.Peter McCullough, Nicolas Hulscher, Dr.Roger Hodkinson.
*
While the mRNA vaccines were harming and killing, positive reports of use of repurposed drugs was being suppressed by government agencies and collaborating media. Doctors who used such remedies were being threatened and sometimes lost their licenses. The FDA issued an ad telling us to avoid ivermectin because we are not horses.

Pierre Kory: Ivermectin, Senate Testimony, & The Cost of Dissent | My Price Is My Life Ep. #27
*
’n Episode 27 of My Price Is My Life, James O’Keefe interviews Pierre Kory, a critical care physician and pulmonary specialist who became one of the most controversial voices in America during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Kory discusses his medical career before the pandemic, the chaos inside overwhelmed hospitals during COVID-19, and the moment he began publicly advocating for ivermectin as a treatment. He reflects on his 2020 Senate testimony, which thrust him into the center of a national debate over medicine, censorship, and institutional authority.
The conversation explores the backlash that followed, including opposition from major health agencies and pharmaceutical companies, the rise of the FLCCC Alliance, and the growing divide between frontline physicians and the medical establishment throughout the pandemic.’

“Why Medicine Won't Cure You (and What's Finally Changing): The predatory business model that requires lifelong patients faces its first federal challenge with Kennedy's historic SSRI initiative”, by A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR, 11 May 2026
V
Main Points - a summary by the author
*
No industry, organization, or cause tasked with solving a problem will actually solve it, because the problem disappearing threatens their economic livelihood or political power—a dynamic visible everywhere from non-profits which constantly seek donations but never produce results to dating apps that deliberately prevent users from finding partners and leaving the platform.
The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to protect this status quo by suppressing affordable natural therapies like DMSO that challenge it.
SSRIs epitomize this dynamic—massively overprescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from—yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse.
Recently, efforts to connect SSRIs to mass shootings shifted the Overton window, making SSRI injuries gradually become acceptable to discuss, culminating in Secretary Kennedy recently holding a panel where victims shared devastating testimonies of what SSRIs had done to their lives.
Kennedy then announced a multiagency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives—marking the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to help get patients off a major drug class rather than on one.
Conversely, those who embrace the constant challenge of actually solving problems rather than managing them—in medicine and elsewhere—consistently find it is the most fulfilling way to practice, which is why Kennedy's approach of giving physicians a supportive framework to break from the status quo holds so much promise.

The Letter from Sternbuchta: A Portrait of the Golden Elixir — ‘Sternbuchta's letter describes the hidden essence drawn from stone—activated, multiplied, and capable of restoring what has fallen into disorder.’ by Pierre Kory, MD, MPA

A note from Dr. Kory in email to his readers, prefixing the article linked above. I love it:
*
‘A note to readers: Some readers have expressed concern about the direction of these posts. I understand the concern, but I want to be clear. I am not adopting a new religion. I am not asking anyone to follow Hermeticism. I am not deifying Hermes. I am not inviting readers into occult practice.
My interest is not in Hermes. My interest is in alchemy as an early laboratory science, and its attempt, however symbolic and guarded the language they used, to understand matter, transformation, minerals, water, heat, and life.
I came to this as a physician, not as a mystic. I was following scientific questions that began in chronic illness, cancer, agriculture, water, and biology. The deeper I followed them, the clearer it became that medicine often treats downstream failures while rarely asking what upstream conditions make physiology possible.
So I am reading these ancient symbolic texts as possible records of natural processes: mineral transformation, water chemistry, charge, circulation, and the conditions that allow life to function.
You may disagree with my interpretation. You may think I am wrong. Fair enough. But I am not confused about what I am doing. I am studying the created order and following evidence, patterns, and mechanisms wherever they lead.’
