Integrity Lost and Regained
Human beings can be characterized by exhibiting integrity or its opposites, hypocrisy and deceit. Buildings can have structural integrity, or they can be unsound, a danger to inhabitants. Organizations can have integrity, or can be corrupt. And a Nation can have integrity, or be divided against itself.
Ed Dowd, Tom Lewis and their Maui colleagues diagnosed loss of integrity as a core problem contributing to the Covid crisis across virtually all governmental and corporate “verticals” and developed a solution which they (generously) named the “Malone Doctrine.”
Subsequent events have validated their assessment.
One needs look no further than the latest headlines. Election integrity has become one of the most trending of hashtags (in USA, Brazil, and so many other places). Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) have been sabotaged, most certainly not by either Russia or Germany, but fearing retaliation no one dares even whisper the name of the culprit all know to be responsible.
The deep corruption associated with the Biden family is being revealed, as is the role of corporate media in trying to keep it from impacting elections. The omniscient Anthony Fauci has followed in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton and so many others in deploying the “I cannot remember” defense, but with a new wrinkle of belligerent defiance; recently testifying that “I have a very busy day job running a $6 billion institute. I don’t have time to worry about things like the Great Barrington Declaration.”
Clear and compelling evidence released to Blaze Media under FOIA request document otherwise. During the Covid crisis, both CDC director Rochelle Walensky and Deborah Birx resorted to substituting “hope” for data in making major public health decisions, and then enforcing these decisions via deployment of highly refined psychological operations techniques against objecting United States Citizens. And then we have the cascading collapse of corruption known as the FTX scandal.
Just to highlight some of the most recent examples.
I argue that the Imperial Administrative State which the United States Federal Government has been transformed into has clearly lost any semblance of integrity.
The “Malone Doctrine” document has an amazing backstory, as it brought together the sensibilities of a senior building inspector (Tom) and a seasoned financial analyst (Ed). As Tom points out, the International Building Code is a set of agreements which, when properly implemented during the construction of a building, will guarantee reliable integrity and functionality of the final structure. The “Malone Doctrine” was forged by Ed, Tom and colleagues essentially as an “international building code” for individuals and organizations. The subheading in the title is as significant as the content, for this is a “Declaration of Independence” from corrupted institutions.
I am often asked “What can we do to fix the <fill in the blank> federal agency?” And I have to say that the picture is grim, because agency after agency has been thoroughly corrupted. There is little or no structural integrity left. If these agencies were buildings, the only option an inspector like Tom would have would be to condemn them. They are teardowns. They must be rebuilt on solid ground beginning with new footings....
....Like paradise, once integrity has been lost, it cannot be regained.
Think this through with me. Tom and Ed’s vision in this document is essentially a clarion for creation of a network of intentional communities, organizations, and people that share a commitment to integrity.
The Malone Doctrine
We The Undersigned:
Demand that all underlying data that contributes to a body of work under consideration must be made available and must remain accessible for analysis.
Proclaim the value of knowledge to society is not determined by any given creator of information. Instead, that it is the beneficiaries of knowledge who assign value to a proposition only through critique and relentless scrutiny.
Establish the free and open exchange of information and establish as a duty the authority to serve as the custodians of all data forming the basis of our decisions.
Require the full disclosure of all sources of funding regarding any citation noted or references made pertaining to any matter under consideration.
Commit to impartiality in consideration of all analytical information and data brought before us and expect the same from all others.
Foster rigorous open debate and scrutiny in consideration of and for any matter of concern.
Shall promptly make the discovery of intellectual dishonesty or professional irresponsibility known to all.
Ensure the health, welfare and safety of any whistleblower, bringing forth and/or making public an abrogation of the beliefs held herein.
Stand in opposition to censorship and will not accept representations of parties holding within themselves values that conflict with principles of free expression.
Deny no person the right to challenge, debate, petition, redress, examine or protest with facts and evidence any decision of this body.
Each of us now faces a series of binary decisions. Either this or that. Assuming that you are committed to personal sovereignty and guiding your own future, making your own decisions. To be blunt, not everyone wants to be free. Many just want to be told what to do. Which type of person do you choose to be? Sovereign and free, or dependent on the arbitrary and capricious favor of a monopolist cabal?
Are you willing to cast your lot with the Overlords and their Machines, and for you and your children to become post-modern indentured servants (with no escape other than death) living in a fourth industrial revolution hellscape under a centralized corporatist (ergo Fascist) totalitarian world government run by technocrats and economist/bankers?
Wonder what that will look and feel like? Read Huxley’s Brave New World, and then let’s talk some more. Nineteen Eighty-Four, written by Huxley’s protégé Orwell is more often cited, but Huxley gets even closer to the dark reality envisioned by Britain’s King Charles III and his surrogate puppetmaster Klaus Schwab, which they refer to as “The Great Reset.”
Quoting from the Amazon review of the book;
Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls.
Sound familiar?
For those not inclined to pick up a book, I recommend GATTACA (the first DNA sequence used as a film title) as yet another fine example illustrating the near-term dystopia which the Overlords envision and seek to shape for all to inhabit.
If the future which King Charles III, Schwab and the infamous Silicon Valley darling Harari (the very title of whose most recent published ramblings proclaim that man is God) is not for you, and you do not like the idea of owning nothing and being happy living within a Globalized Fascist state, then what are your options?
The way things are going at this point, the most viable alternative seems to be to get working to build a parallel social structure which can exist alongside or even tunneled within the Fascist Imperial state, and which might eventually replace it. How could such an organization be structured?
Well, once upon a time, a group of merchants, landholders, and farmers faced the same problem when confronting another mad British King, George III. It was a period of intense intellectual ferment, and yielded the amazing legal policy consensus documents and treaty agreements known as the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which remain the definitive treatise on how to structure a limited representative government.
Strangely, both corporate media and the US “Democrat” political party have labeled those who remain committed to practicing the principles and defending the substance of these documents as “far right,” and apply the terms radical, far-far right, and even Fascist when seeking to define and demonize what is a fundamentally conservative political (and economic) position. These terms are applied to members of the current populist movement which seek to return to a limited Federal government, and who share an abiding commitment to an autonomous Nation which operates under those principles. A commitment to rekindling American Greatness. Simply stated, to making America great again.
For those who reject a World Economic Forum-managed Fascist totalitarian global state, and are committed to the fundamental principles defined in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, the challenge is to define the alternative future which we wish for our children.
The anarchy of local warlords and “Mad Max” await future generations if we do not seize the opportunity to present an alternative positive vision which the persuadable middle views as a preferred option. Does any sane person imagine that the “shaped” future envisioned by Charles, Klaus, Harari and their financial partners can be sustained? This is a last gasp grab for power by the Imperium. They have overreached, and the current system is already careening from crisis to crisis, teetering on the brink of collapse.
In previous essays, I have explored the alternative future vision of Chris Langan, and discussed a process for enabling a decentralized human network of communities as an alternative to the centralized Fascist dystopia which the WEF seeks to shape and force on us. But what processes, terms and conditions of engagement can we use to shape such a network of intentional communities? The starting point needs to be a clear understanding of shared guiding principles, and a realistic, enforceable commitment to those ideals. I have suggested that personal, institutional, and political commitment to integrity, human dignity, and community would be a good start.
But of all of those, and so many others, I believe that the starting point for rebuilding a world centered on a celebration and recognition of humanity (rather than economics and machines) is to insist on a verifiable commitment to integrity from each and every organization in business and government. Endorsement of a common set of principles akin to the “Malone Doctrine,” with independent audit and verification of compliance.
The WEF and its sponsors BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and Bank of America have deployed the social credit scheme-like ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) scoring system in a remarkably short time, including “independent” ESG auditor organizations. I suggest that deployment and validation of Integrity standards would be both trivial and remarkably straightforward in comparison.
Once such a system is implemented, then one can start to choose to only do business with others who are committed to acting with integrity. Building business and trading networks with people and organizations who strive to demonstrate that they have integrity, and in this way are worthy of your trust. Which is what most of us want in both our business transactions and in our personal lives.
The power to shape the future which your children will inhabit is in your hands. It is time to begin building anew. First one step, then another, then another, and soon the journey will be well along.

Western Governments Keep Assigning Themselves The Authority To Regulate Online Speech
Depending on what political echo chamber you’ve been viewing it from, the ongoing release of information about the inner workings of pre-Musk Twitter known as “the Twitter Files” might look like the bombshell news story of the century, or it might look like a complete nothingburger whose importance is being wildly exaggerated by the far right.
From where I’m sitting, the Twitter Files look like entirely newsworthy revelations which add new detail to information that had already been spilling out about the way government agencies have been inserting themselves into Silicon Valley’s processes of regulating online speech. Right wing punditry has of course been exaggerating the significance of the releases and spinning them in all kinds of disingenuous ways, and Musk himself plainly has a partisan agenda in releasing the information in the way that he has been, but it’s not actually difficult to separate that from the value of the information being released.
Many liberals and leftists have struggled to grasp this (in my view simple and obvious) distinction, but we’re now seeing articles coming out in publications like The Guardian and Jacobin explaining to their respective audiences that it should actually concern anyone who opposes government tyranny to see secretive agencies taking it upon themselves to control the way people talk to each other on the internet.
“Make no mistake: while some criticisms of the project coming from left of center certainly have merit, that doesn’t mean the disclosures aren’t important, or that the accuracy of the information contained in the files is somehow undermined by the political slant of some of those reporting on it,” writes Jacobin’s Branko Marcetic. “The Twitter Files give us an unprecedented peek behind the curtain at the workings of Twitter’s opaque censorship regime, and expose in greater detail the secret and ongoing merger of social media companies and the US national security state.”
The Twitter Files show an outrageous and unacceptable amount of overlap between Twitter management and many US government agencies — including the CIA — in not just the censorship and shadowbanning of unauthorized speech but also whitelisting and amplifying actual psyops of the US military. The justifications for this have ranged from fighting “Covid misinformation” to combating “foreign influence” (the latter of which is odd because those efforts seem to have focused primarily on domestic speech), but what apparently went completely unquestioned the entire time was whether these government institutions have any business inserting themselves into the regulation of public speech at all.
This bizarre assumption that governments need to involve themselves in policing online speech has been rapidly normalizing itself around the western world. Here in Australia we’ve got government officials suddenly babbling about the need to restrict the spread of “conspiracy theories” after a shooting that left two police officers dead. The EU has its controversial Digital Services Act, which Elon Musk is interestingly an enthusiastic supporter of despite being publicly warned that Twitter could be banned throughout the European Union if Twitter doesn’t sufficiently restrict speech on the platform.
(Musk has, while we’re on the subject, continued the practices of branding media figures as “state-affiliated media” if they’re associated with empire-targeted governments, banning people for questioning official narratives about the war in Ukraine, and restricting the visibility of state media for empire-targeted governments while letting western propagandists run rampant. So while some are falling all over themselves in fawning hero worship of the billionaire Pentagon contractor, I personally am not expecting to crown him a free speech warrior anytime soon.)
And what’s important to remember about the Twitter Files is that Twitter has historically been the least compliant with government demands for speech regulation of all the major platforms. Everything we’re learning about what’s been happening in Twitter has surely been happening to a much greater extent with Google/YouTube and Meta/Facebook/Instagram.
Do you remember voting for government agencies to insert themselves into the regulation of online speech? I don’t remember any such vote. I don’t remember any politician campaigning to do this or any part of the public being asked for their permission at all. It sure seems like they appointed that authority to themselves without the permission of the electorate, solely for their own benefit. It’s almost like democracy is an illusion and our rulers do whatever they want to us, up to and including restricting the ways we’re allowed to communicate with each other, in whatever way benefits them and their agendas.
Online speech has nothing to do with the government. Nothing whatsoever. Governments have no more business regulating online speech than they have regulating what consenting adults do in the bedroom, and until very recently this was universally understood as one of the fundamental tenets of liberal democracy. But with a little narrative-diddling over the last few years they’ve managed to intertwine themselves with the online platforms we use to communicate with each other worldwide.
And as all this information comes out we’re seeing imperial narrative managers working to manipulate the debate into an argument about what kinds of government interventions in public speech are acceptable and how far they should go, rather than whether the government should be involving itself in the business of online speech regulation at all. One of main jobs of an empire propagandist is to get people arguing over how ugly imperial agendas should be rolled out, rather than if they should.
This is insane. Let the powerful involve themselves in the regulation of public speech and they will regulate it to their advantage every time. This should be obvious to everyone.
The response to all this should not be mitigated. The response should not be to get bogged down in partisan bickering and culture war distractions. The response should not quibble about whether this or that activity was technically legal or a breach of the First Amendment or not. The response should be an unequivocal, “No. This is not your area. Out. Now.”

We’ve Been Lied to, Scammed and Betrayed
The two most cutting-edge issues of our time include US/Western perpetual war on Russia — what risks WW III perhaps already begun — and all things flu/covid, especially health-destroying kill shots designed for this purpose.
At yearend, noted UK-based, truth-telling scholar/physician, Dr. Vernon Coleman, commented on the deteriorated state of Britain’s long ago model national health system, what no longer exists, what may be duplicated throughout the West ahead, saying:
At a time of labor strikes for long denied social justice, “there are no ambulances, no GPs, no hospitals, and possibly no Royal Mail to bring you a get well card.”
As in the US and throughout the West, UK health professionals administered “millions of toxic jabs that cause heart attacks” and other major illnesses.
Looking ahead in the new year, Coleman said the following:
“I know exactly what’s going to happen because ever since early 2020, when the lies first started and (regimes) around the world began singing the same words to the same gloomy dirge, the conspirators have been following a ruthless and evil program of deceit, deception and fear.”
In May 2020, Coleman warned about a US/Western “population control plan.”
He called kill shots and all else flu/covid related “the greatest hoax in history.”
He warned that food, fuel and fertilizer shortages were “deliberately created (as) part of (a US/Western) genocidal master plan.”
“Feeble-minded masses” are easy marks to deceive about almost anything by the power of MSM-proliferated mass-deception repeated ad nauseam.
“Digitalization, compulsory (mass-jabbing) and a global social credit program are part of the plan to control everything we do.”
“The enemy will keep the fear levels as high as they can with starvation, economic collapse, wars and endless threats of new diseases.”
And, of course, they’ll keep pushing health-destroying kill shots by falsely claiming what’s harmful is beneficial — the Big Lie repeated endlessly by their Pharma-controlled anti-public health agencies and MSM co-conspirators.
Looking ahead, “you won’t be able to do anything if you haven’t had all their compulsory (health-destroying) jabs.”
And if digital currencies replace cash, financial freedom no longer will exist.
At the discretion of ruling regimes under this draconian system, access to your own money can be denied.
According to the WEF mortal enemy of fundamental freedoms, “you’ll own nothing and be happy (sic).”
Everything important ongoing was planned long in advance, nothing accidental.
It’s all about benefitting money, power and privileged interests at the expense of the great majority.
It’s true about war-making, kill shots, all else flu/covid related and other important issues.
And ruling US/Western regimes will keep doing whatever it takes to replace what little remains of greatly eroded freedoms with draconian social control — for our own good, we’ll be told.
The WEF’s Great Reset is all about establishing ruler-serf societies worldwide.
It’s about ruthlessly exploiting the great majority to benefit the privileged few.
It’s a dystopian nightmare wrapped in deceptive equitable socioeconomic mumbo-jumbo rubbish.
It’s a brave new world that’s unsafe and unfit to live in if dark forces achieve their aims.
Looking ahead in the new year, is US/NATO nuclear war on Russia where things are heading in a futile hail Mary attempt to maintain the war-making alliance’s eroding hegemony?
Will protracted economic depression begin in the new year by design?
Will deepening poverty become the new normal throughout the US/West?
Will their ruling regimes enforce full-blown tyranny?
Will truth-telling on vital issues be criminalized?
Will their MSM co-conspirators support the worst of all possible worlds — featuring perpetual war on humanity at home and worldwide, including mass-extermination by kill shots?
Hard times getting harder at a time of US/NATO war on Russia arrived in 2022.
Will the year ahead and what follows exceed the worst of what already happened?
I spent most of my formal working life in small family business.
Will Great Reset tyranny eliminate independent enterprises in favor of predatory corporate dominance?
Without the public awakening to the reality that US/Western regimes are mortal enemies of peace, equity, justice, the rule of law, as well as free and open societies, we’re all doomed to the tyranny of their ill intentions.
I yield the last word to Dr. Vernon Coleman, an eminent truth-telling man of honor and integrity at a time of US/Western war on humanity with the worst of diabolical aims in mind, saying:
“They want compliance” for social control.
“Let’s give them (a bellyful of) defiance” instead!
