Thank you Turfseer, for your perfect reasoning and excellent writing. Nathaniel Branden psychologist philosopher used to explain to his followers that to change, one must immerse oneself into one's own resistence. "The only way out is through".
I have always understood the virus cult as selfless believers, so selfless they have no minds of their own, no will to question, no desire to understand what they choose to believe.
But the first responsibility of every person is to question and think about important issues in their lives. To evade this responsibility is immoral, because life requires making appropriate choices based figuring out what is true or false.
Cultists may not intend to become bad, but that's a flimsy excuse. Jacobins beheaded 50,000 of the fellow French people for wrong-think. The Bolsheviks similarly murdered millions. The virus cultists persecute and punish innocents and then congratulate themselves on their lofty moral vision.
People behave badly because of cowardice and what they perceive as payoff. Rather than having to think and persist, they join and enjoy "safety". Instead of identifying truth and confronting falsehood, they seek gratification: money, promotions and social climbing.
Rider — beautifully said. Branden’s line—“the only way out is through”—hits especially hard in this context. Most people, when faced with cognitive dissonance, sprint in the opposite direction. Immersing oneself in resistance? That takes actual courage—and maybe a working prefrontal cortex.
You nailed it with the “selfless believers” line. They’re not questioning because they think virtue lies in obedience. But blind obedience is not morality—it’s inertia in a lab coat.
And you’re right: cults don’t always start with evil intentions. But as history shows, once people abdicate moral responsibility in exchange for safety and approval, they’ll rationalize almost anything—whether it’s guillotines in Paris or booster shots at brunch.
Today’s virus cultists may not wield axes, but they destroy reputations, careers, and families—then pat themselves on the back for “saving lives.” All without a shred of curiosity or regret.
Thanks for adding such clarity to the conversation. Truth-seeking isn’t glamorous, but it’s the only path worth walking. Keep walking. 👊
I believe you're right in separating out those that "believed" (even perhaps still believe) what they're told by those they've decided they should trust from those that know and knew exactly evil they were planning to do and the damage that would be caused. The latter must be fully identified and prosecuted.
But even within the former group, I would separate out those that believed but had the humility to admit that they were not experts and didn't really know anything beyond what they heard / were told by those they (in their blue-pilled state) trusted -- TV / mainstream media -- from those that then became and considered themselves "experts" simply by absorbing and re-spouting the lies of those intent on deceiving.
There were and still are those that know deep down, even if they would never admit it, that they studied nothing, were experts in nothing, ate and digested nothing but soundbites and yet considered themselves "informed" enough to condemn those of us that had searched for, found, and studied hundreds and even thousands of hours of information / evidence.
These are nearly as dangerous as those that created and disseminated the lies; indeed, many in this group became enforcers, official and un-official. Without them the truly evil perpetrators of this crime(s) vs humanity would have and would have had much less power to kill, steal, and destroy. They are not innocent.
Thanks, j t—your breakdown is spot on. I completely agree that the most dangerous actors weren’t always the masterminds, but the self-anointed “informed class” who parroted what they barely understood and then turned around and vilified those of us who asked inconvenient questions.
What you’re describing fits exactly with the idea I explore in the piece: this wasn’t just a conspiracy—it was a belief system. And in any belief system, the most zealous enforcers are often those who’ve internalized the doctrine without ever examining its foundations. They didn’t study, didn’t question—they simply believed harder than anyone else. And in doing so, they gave the actual perpetrators immense power.
You're right—they are not innocent. The system couldn’t have functioned without their moral certainty and performative outrage.
Appreciate your comment—it adds a powerful layer to the conversation.
This article is concerned with the idea of the coronavirus itself. The crown idol revered by those harnessing it as a mind disease to shackle us, and feared by those who trust the deceit and accept those shackles with an open embrace.
Never before has fear been so effective at stripping our freedoms. The threat of terrorism was mild by comparison and no where near quite haunting enough to so inspire the populace to voluntarily deliver their liberty to the nearest politician. But the threat of bioterrorism: an invisible contagion? Something you can neither see nor combat, and that transforms you into a destructive missile locked, loaded, armed, unleashed, and aiming directly at those you cherish the most? That is a different animal altogether.
Oh yes, the powers that should be drawn and quartered revere their bio-terror idol with all of their hearts (do they have hearts?) hatred, as no other type of conjured-up-hobgoblin in history has so easily given so much control to so few over so many. And on a silver platter, at that: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/signs-and-symbols-predictive-programming
Beautifully put—the “crown idol” metaphor nails it. The virus wasn’t just a germ; it was a psychological weapon, a phantom menace that could possess the bodies of our loved ones and turn us into vectors of destruction. No bomb or gun ever carried that level of intimate dread.
Terrorism never got this kind of obedience. But virological fear—sanctified by “The Science” and anointed by media priests—was the perfect mechanism for mass submission. And as you say, the result wasn’t just compliance. It was ritualized devotion: masking, distancing, injecting, confessing symptoms. A new religion for the biosecurity age.
Your essay on symbols and predictive programming only strengthens the case: we weren’t just manipulated—we were initiated. This wasn’t a war on health. It was a cultural baptism into technocratic theocracy.
Thank you for articulating the spiritual depth of this deception.
Absolutely agree—it’s not either a conspiracy or a cult. It’s both. The conspiracy lays the groundwork, but what grows from it is far more insidious: a full-blown belief system. The architects of the fraud (Event 201, NIH, WEF, etc.) may have plotted strategically, but the enforcers—your local health officials, doctors, journalists, neighbors—became priests of a new doctrine. Many truly believe they’re saving the world.
Thanks for sharing the “Harvest Festival” and “COVID Church Service” pieces—both brilliant in capturing how ritualized the madness became. It wasn’t just medical tyranny. It was a religious revival—only the deity was “The Science,” the sacrament was the jab, and dissent was blasphemy.
This is why Yeadon’s work matters—but it’s also why we must go beyond science and examine the psychological and spiritual architecture of the lie. Exposing the fraud is step one. Breaking the spell is step two.
"he conspiracy lays the groundwork, but what grows from it is far more insidious: a full-blown belief system. "
That is well said. As to breaking the spell, we have to use the correct words, 'spelling' correctly! I consider you are doing that and we learn from each other.

Even if it is a religion, it is still a pseudoscience.
