Can you imagine an American administration coercing, lying, forcing the general American public into submitting to their tyrannical will. Think of a once trusted medical establishment along with this administration knowingly deceiving the entire public to take harmful chemical injections or be cast to the side, cancelled from society as a coercive power grab over the people. Could you ever picture a growing group of politicians teaming up with the medical establishment, social media, main stream media, even three letter organizations and local police to grow their power and lord over the public. This evil power that grew in Germany, engulfing so many could never happen in America. Could you possibly imagine a secretive group within our own government assassinating a sitting president, impossible. All of the people I know that had heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, cancers, auto immune diseases, digestive problems had nothing to do with the Biden administrations coercion, subjugation and forcing of these shots. It was all coincidence.
Amen, James. You just nailed it. I lost so many dear friends to the bioweapon, and so many people are still clueless to their design, calculation, and intent.
Excellent. I will never forgive nor forget how schools were closed, kids were locked and robbed of their jr., sr. years, athletics stopped, and liquor and weed stores open 24 7. How many kids ended their lives?
02/24/26: If I may add, "Interrogations, The Nazi Elite in Allied Hands" by Richard Overy (2001) is also worth a look. And it's a rare day when I can in good conscience recommend books written by people infused with bad habits instilled by their unfortunate academic overlords, before their emergence back into the real world saved their pens from oblivion.
If I have not misread this article, It seems that voter ID laws are held up as barriers to voting. Yet we use IDs to open bank accounts, to get on airplanes, to enter federal buildings, and countless other things. With up to 30 milliom illegal immigrants in America, why would we not require proof of citizenship? That's common sense: The policies Of its government should be Policies required by its citizens not by those who have not yet sworn loyalty. If it's a barrier, indeed it's only a barrier to those who should not be voting at all.
Remember this part of the review is about Dr. Kelly's book and his beliefs - not what "I" think. Critical difference: Read it again:
"and the subsequent proliferation of voter ID laws, polling place closures, and registration restrictions in numerous states, would have struck Kelley as a confirmation of his worst fears. He had argued that the expansion of voting access was not merely a moral obligation but a structural defense against minority-faction seizure of power"
Just to add another thought...In several places, but not all, the word "citizens" was used about the population being referenced ie, "Kelley prescribed; critical citizens, institutional pushback, a press willing to name what it saw, were necessary in practice and not merely in theory" He probably couldn't imagine a country that would allow citizens of other countries to vote in its elections.
Can we be sure of Kelley's view about current laws? He made his comments in the context of Jim Crow and poll taxes. He was savvy enough about evil to know the machinations that can be brought to bear by such "everyday" people. The integrity of the vote not the actual (supposed) numbers of votes cast is the current issue. There is no rationally viewed voter suppression in the United States.
Could it not be just as likely even for liberals like Kelley ( a term relative to a political time) that he would support voting integrity. For rational reasons85% of America supports voter ID. The push for sloppy easily manipulated voting processes revolves around vote by mail, a very rare factor in Kelley's day, but which even liberals a few decades ago recognized as fraught with avenues for fraud (Jimmy Carter). It is the Democrat apparat most vociferous in opposing voting integrity laws. They need looseness in order to defraud the American public. Their excuses represent the most unsubtle racism and sexism -- Blacks and women can't figure out how to vote.
I believe that mass immigration was beyond the imagination of Kelley at the time. Tens of millions of illegal aliens had never occurred in human history, even in military conquest. Borders were activly policed around the world without question. To give foreigners the vote in our elections would be rejected wholesale.
And, you know, the fact that borders are actively policed around the world to this day makes the previous administration's failure to do so and the hue and cry of so many that it's wrong to clean up the mess, baffling to me at best. The more dangerous outcry of such misplaced "compassion" for illegal immigrants is discouraging. Either we have a vast number of useful idiots or a perilous number of actual enemies within. Or maybe both.
For it to make sense, consider how they need voter fraud at a wholesale scale. This is an 80/20 issue. Dem voters are 70% favorable but elected dems are ZERO percent. Go figure. Their arguments do not make a lick of sense. Minorities are too dumb to get an ID? Yet we need IDs for a drink, to drive, to board a plane, to book a hotel room, to play little league, etc. And this is the party of vax card mandates. How else does it all line up? They are hiding massive voter fraud should be assumed until they behave differently.
If Kelly were alive today (he died by suicide at the age of 45, as noted), he would probably identify with the political "left." And that group has an almost utopian preoccupation with universal suffrage. It's odd, because if elections are fair, the majority will still win. In Europe this is handled with a proliferation of political parties which then must form parliamentary coalitions to "rule." In America the the "majority wins problem" is handled by using payoffs and propaganda to create fake electoral majorities. But the political problem remains: How to protect the rights of members of minority groups. In totalitarian situations (where it is clear that a minority rules) the problem becomes protecting the rights of anyone who the government targets as an "enemy." So I don't see the "problem" of less-than-universal suffrage as the main problem at all. The main problem is the susceptibility of individuals to "ponerization" (turned towards evil - towards sociopathy). And there is a spiritual component to that problem that is very important.
I noticed that, but voter ID is required in some states. It should be a federal law. Some states refuse to have their voting records scrutinized. How do they check if you're a citizen?? How to check if you're dead or if your dog is voting? Why are there 169 people who are registered to vote from one address? In CA you don't need to show ID when you vote. In addition to this when I registered voters in CA you don't even need to show an ID when you register to vote. In CA you can register to vote on the day of the election. We need to insure that our voting is fair. In CA you can't trust the voting process.
"All men (including women, of course)) are born sinners" - Romans 5:12. That is, unless they learn morality in childhood, humans will have a continuous propensity to be amoral, of which, only the indwelling Holy Spirit* offers any hope to reverse the latter.
Mathias Desmet illustrates very well how it is systematically possible to coerce around 30 percent of any population by design intent. The fact that another 40-60 percent will “ go along” ignoring their conscience should be especially troubling to all of us. Edit: I was especially troubled to see a talk show host suggesting that people who refused the jab be denied health care! I never had much respect for Jimmy Kimmel anyway. But he would have made the Nazi regime proud …
Always disturbed by the easy dismissal of McCarthy because he was correct re the degree of communist infiltration of the USG. The Venona. Project uncovered over 10O Communist agents in fdr's administration. The movie industry and other "arts" loaded with self professed communists. As were the democrats whose protestations finally won the day. Also the SENATOR is often conflated with the House Committee on Unamerican Activities...a different critter altogether.
That easy dismissal of McCarthy without saying something about the basis of concern over Marxist infiltration -- their established modus, -- indeed their rather obvious endemic success in academia, media (and resultant journalistic framework for presenting and analyzing the " news " verging on propagandistic), and of course religious institutions, deserved at least a disclaimer if "McCarthyism" is to be brought up at all.
Amen Brother and to Brother Goodrich. Venona revelations were later confirmed by the release of the KGB’s Mitrokhin Archive. McCarthy didn’t “ruin lives” - if so, name one - he accurately pointed out that Communists had infiltrated the highest reaches of Gubmint.
The slandering of McCarthy provides a Rosetta Stone for the pre-Alinsky Alinskyite tactics of Leftist smears - perpetrated on other national figures who terrify Leftists for their connection to Americans: Reagan, Limbaugh, and Trump.
M. Stanton Evans’ “Blacklisted by History” has the receipts and posits that during WW2, the Communists in the Gubmint saw to it that we didn’t fight America’s enemies, but Communism’s. Subsequent continued infiltration of theCommanding Heights confirms it.
When Woodrow Wilson was considered one of the progressive “Big Four” with Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini, Nazis complained that America was beating them at their own game.
Not talking about angels here, but McCarthy and Nixon were both 'watergated'. The propaganda machine smeared them with "evil" that vastly outsized their own human propensities.
Geoff Shepard has written two books based on recently declassified Watergate info on how the Deep State including media took out Nixon (I believe in revenge for him taking out Alger Hiss and reasserting its Blob Power).
“All the President’s Men” was a well-paced, tightly constructed book and movie. Mostly fiction. The execrable consequence is that it made rock stars of Woodward (Navy Intel guy) and Bernstein. So now journalists aspired not to truth but to stardom - thinking they were an amalgam Redford’s evergreen likability and Hoffman’s charisma.
On TV Woodward’s has an unforgettable mucosal smarminess and Bernstein is plain stooopit - the template for current journos with the addition of insufferable shrieking AWFUL Karens.
Shepard documents how the mediocre Watergate judge Peter Rodino had countless illegal ex parte meetings with prosecutors. And that the Saintly Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox hired some 200 (?) attornys and staff to get Nixon.
Rodino was a Time “Man of the Year” but never got the hagiographic treatment of the reporters. Not in the movies anyway.
But in the Law Schools, Judges circles and especially DC Bar, Rodino is held in the same reverence that journos hold Woodward and Bernstein.
That is the origin story for the dingbat , attention-seeking by leftist judges - get mean bad Orange Man and become a star - coupled with the Red-washed indoctrination they got in school.
it makes sense to me that attention-starved nerds would be tempted by the bright lights. One look at most of them shows they weren’t drawn from the ranks of the BMOC.
"All the President's Men" was some highly effective propaganda that shapes thinking even today.
I decided to read what G. Gordon Liddy wrote, and listened to some of his presentations as a way of getting a both sides understanding. Liddy was surprisingly non-toxic about the issue, and that probably comes from him wanting to be an uncomplaining, good soldier, accepting his consequences. I tend to place his information regarding the burglary and the coverup above that of anyone else from government or the media. He was a meticulous guy, as well as a realist about the judicial system. Liddy's distinction between being a witness or a rat is emblematic of his way of thinking. He thought it immoral to testify against his associates in order to get a lighter sentence, and therefore did his time.
Partly due to that input from Liddy, I grew a lot closer to your thinking regarding the take down of Nixon.
The decades of legal back and forth between John Dean and G. Gordon Liddy was some pretty interesting stuff, which would come to trial because: discovery. :-D
Although I agree with you, I think that McCarthyism went beyond warnings into demonization. Still, there were definitely legitimate concerns. One of the most compelling books I have ever read was Witness, by Whittaker Chambers, a member of the Communist Party in America, who became disillusioned with what he saw and left the Party. A fascinating, compelling book, the memoir relates how Chambers became a witness before Congress and was instrumental in bringing down Alger Hiss, a State Department official and agent for the Soviet Union.
Since my very idealistic father told me he worked for McCarthy (no details), I've reflected on that. Conclusion - there were Communists and they were a threat. Thanks for the additional details.
I just finished a book in which the Venona Project was part and parcel. It was about the code-breakers who deciphered enough to lead a trail to the imbedded communists in the FDR administration.
The Women of Arlington Hall. A “romance novel”, bit skip that if you want. The description of coding and decoding is so fascinating, and the way the information was able to be used to track the Soviets is amazing. I never knew.
I suppose there is nothing new under the sun. "emotional tribalism" worked in Nazi Germany and of course, works today. I think with immediate electronic media, like mentioned didn't exist then, the sophisticated teeter-totter of messaging is quickened. Also, the overarching tricky goal the palatable messaging to get all the tribes to accept the desired outcome. Point the finger here, then over there, then somewhere else. Each fingered target is identified by the most suspecting group. That's my take anyway. Jesus destroyed death and that is what this is all about. Thank you Dr. Malone, you always provide my unsophisticated brain with exercise and not just message.
I recognized the similarities to what happened during covid soon after I started reading this substack. The similarities are striking. I cannot help but think that the lack of discernment over the last century, especially in the U.S., is due in large part to the nefarious influence of John Dewey (1859-1952) on American education & the deliberate dumbing down of the primary curriculum. Critical thinking went out the window a very long time ago & that was the intention. As a result, too many think emotionally & fear was the dominant emotional response during covid, as it undoubtedly was among the German population in the 1930s & 1940s. Early-on, I did not dismiss the vaccines out-of-hand. As a hospital volunteer, I was offered them in January of 2021. With a history of asthma, I thought I would have a particularly hard time, if I contracted covid & gave it serious consideration. On the other hand, I thought that there was far too much that I did not know & felt a personal responsibility to learn as much as possible. It was only after doing my due diligence, that I rejected them. Part of this assessment was researching Fauci's history & what I learned was deeply disturbing. I also had the good sense to listen closely to what Dr. Zelenko had to say. I knew instinctively & intuitively that he was speaking the truth. Here is a little background on John Dewey....https://www.henrymakow.com/dewey_imports_soviet_education.html. By the time that he was 40-yrs old, in 1999, think of the degree of influence he had had on American Education.
While this book is groundwork for recognition of personality types and the ensuing exploitation, there is little from this review that suggests the way out. I recommend David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. His works are numerous and before he died he wrote "Letting Go / The Pathway Of Surrender". Without the tools to further our own awareness, the potential for going around in the same circles of repetition continues. Disheartening that he choose the same method of death as someone he interviewed; a message of caution for all.
It's been a year+ since I read Adam LeBor's "Tower of Basel," documenting the history of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). One of the striking takeaways from that book was the bank's atmosphere of warm collegiality among high level officials representing nations preparing for/engaging in WWII. Montagu Norman of the Bank of England and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank were chums. They floated above it all, and moved money here and there at their discretion, regardless of "sides." I might have to refresh on the details, but this is my recollection.
Your recollection is correct. Even opposing spies remain cordial to each other. Allen Dulles, Switzerland OSS station chief, will attest to the latter.
I have read many books about the Holocaust. I also read in High School Leon Uris’ historical fiction books. I have been to the Ann Frank museum and visited Dachau the first consentration camp in Germany. Upon entering Dachau I felt a feeling of being crowded. This place was a vast area totally empty except for a replica of a barracks and the museum. I feel like this feeling was the spirits of those who had died wanting to be remembered. It was such a strong feel.
During the Covid crisis the saying was going around” If you want to know what you would have done during the Holocaust, well now you know”. I am a member of a community choir that is in conjunction with the University . During the Covid crisis after the vaccine was available my choir, whom I have sung with for several decades, required you have a vaccine card stating you had the vaccines and you had to wear the mask while singing. Well needless to say I did not comply and did not go to participate. You had to show your vaccine card before you could enter the room. I had had Covid but they didn’t count that as having immunity. That has since passed and I am singing once again in my choir. I found that my professor friends were more gullible to the propaganda than just regular people. They don’t think out of the box. I couldn’t believe how paranoid people were during this period.
I hope and pray this will be a wake up call for the next terrible problem the powers to be will throw at us.
What happened in your choir also happened in spouse's band in Oregon and our bunny volunteer group. We never returned to those groups and fled the state. We saw the WWII similarities almost from the get-go, even before knowing anything about the horrific mandated shots, which are being pushed -- and pushed in -- to this day.
Exact same situation with my 2 choirs during COVID, in super strict CA. I chose to give up my choirs I loved, rather than participate in what I knew to be an epic evil. I lost several friends and choir gigs I loved, but kept my integrity intact. And I moved out of CA and ended up in a conservative state and am much happier now.
What a fascinating story and truly thorough review. I've always been intensely intrigued about anything to do with WWII, mainly due to my parents emigrating to the US from the Netherlands after living through that nightmare. I almost don't need to read the book due to your in-depth review. Maybe, though, this book will put to rest all the morbid curiosity I've had about the Nazis and atrocities so easily seen on the internet and instead spring board me to truly see things as they are here in the US (and elsewhere) and how to stay apart from those nefarious streams of public interactions.
At about the same time Hervey Cleckley published "The Mask of Sanity", 1941, and Political Ponerology was developed by Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Łobaczewski, the scientific study of the nature of evil adapted for political purposes. Both detailed sociopathy/psychopathy as human aberrations and the greatest source of evil one can do to another. Robert Hare developed his check list for identification of these individuals. We continue to gloss over this personality in society as isolated but they continue to be our greatest internal threats to the human race.
Judgment at Nuremberg (video 3 hrs). Dramatization of the 1948 trial of four German jurists accused of legalizing Nazi atrocities. Nearly every scene in this 1961 movie is shockingly similar to what’s taking place TODAY: https://tubitv.com/movies/100006404/judgment-at-nuremberg
Also watch a good 49-minute episode of "Danger Man" with Patrick McGoohan. It's about a Nazi doctor who involved in vaccine research during WWII.
Show Notes & Links:
Sent to the Middle East to bring back a German scientist accused of war crimes, Drake must defend him against Israeli agents wanting their own brand of justice. Returning home, Drake finds himself diverted to Bir Azhad to pick up a doctor. However, he is very nervous as somebody tried to kill him with a book bomb. Drake realizes that there is something in the doctor's past he wants to keep hidden.
This episode aired January 28, 1966, but seems prescient today, especially starting around the 38 minute timestamp. (Danger Man is the British name for a series known in America as "Secret Agent." Uses a different theme song from the one many of us know and love.)

A quote by John Adams:
'Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.'
After 88 years of observation, I would opine that the majority of people are immoral.
"All men (including women, of course)) are born sinners" - Romans 5:12. That is, unless they learn morality in childhood, humans will have a continuous propensity to be amoral, of which, only the indwelling Holy Spirit* offers any hope to reverse the latter.
* Abide by Romans 10:9-13 to obtain it.
In a couple generations it can get to be that almost no one knows right from wrong.
I BELEIVE in natural law you know right and wrong. It is in your DNA.
I'll give you that. Maybe I should say that most people won't be able to act like they know right from wrong under conditions of external control.

Name of book please.
The Women of Arlington Hall. A “romance novel”, bit skip that if you want. The description of coding and decoding is so fascinating, and the way the information was able to be used to track the Soviets is amazing. I never knew.
THANK YOU.
This is an important point lost on many "students of history."
For sure. And the progressives hope to keep it lost.
I suppose there is nothing new under the sun. "emotional tribalism" worked in Nazi Germany and of course, works today. I think with immediate electronic media, like mentioned didn't exist then, the sophisticated teeter-totter of messaging is quickened. Also, the overarching tricky goal the palatable messaging to get all the tribes to accept the desired outcome. Point the finger here, then over there, then somewhere else. Each fingered target is identified by the most suspecting group. That's my take anyway. Jesus destroyed death and that is what this is all about. Thank you Dr. Malone, you always provide my unsophisticated brain with exercise and not just message.
Nothing new because human nature both good and bad is hard to change if it’s even possible to change.
agree in all regards.
I recognized the similarities to what happened during covid soon after I started reading this substack. The similarities are striking. I cannot help but think that the lack of discernment over the last century, especially in the U.S., is due in large part to the nefarious influence of John Dewey (1859-1952) on American education & the deliberate dumbing down of the primary curriculum. Critical thinking went out the window a very long time ago & that was the intention. As a result, too many think emotionally & fear was the dominant emotional response during covid, as it undoubtedly was among the German population in the 1930s & 1940s. Early-on, I did not dismiss the vaccines out-of-hand. As a hospital volunteer, I was offered them in January of 2021. With a history of asthma, I thought I would have a particularly hard time, if I contracted covid & gave it serious consideration. On the other hand, I thought that there was far too much that I did not know & felt a personal responsibility to learn as much as possible. It was only after doing my due diligence, that I rejected them. Part of this assessment was researching Fauci's history & what I learned was deeply disturbing. I also had the good sense to listen closely to what Dr. Zelenko had to say. I knew instinctively & intuitively that he was speaking the truth. Here is a little background on John Dewey....https://www.henrymakow.com/dewey_imports_soviet_education.html. By the time that he was 40-yrs old, in 1999, think of the degree of influence he had had on American Education.
Correction: 1999, should be 1899.
The forth prescription for education in critical thinking needs work!
Amen to that.
It needs more than work For many people, it needs an introduction!
While this book is groundwork for recognition of personality types and the ensuing exploitation, there is little from this review that suggests the way out. I recommend David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. His works are numerous and before he died he wrote "Letting Go / The Pathway Of Surrender". Without the tools to further our own awareness, the potential for going around in the same circles of repetition continues. Disheartening that he choose the same method of death as someone he interviewed; a message of caution for all.
Added to my list. Thank you!
It's been a year+ since I read Adam LeBor's "Tower of Basel," documenting the history of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). One of the striking takeaways from that book was the bank's atmosphere of warm collegiality among high level officials representing nations preparing for/engaging in WWII. Montagu Norman of the Bank of England and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank were chums. They floated above it all, and moved money here and there at their discretion, regardless of "sides." I might have to refresh on the details, but this is my recollection.
Your recollection is correct. Even opposing spies remain cordial to each other. Allen Dulles, Switzerland OSS station chief, will attest to the latter.
I have read many books about the Holocaust. I also read in High School Leon Uris’ historical fiction books. I have been to the Ann Frank museum and visited Dachau the first consentration camp in Germany. Upon entering Dachau I felt a feeling of being crowded. This place was a vast area totally empty except for a replica of a barracks and the museum. I feel like this feeling was the spirits of those who had died wanting to be remembered. It was such a strong feel.
During the Covid crisis the saying was going around” If you want to know what you would have done during the Holocaust, well now you know”. I am a member of a community choir that is in conjunction with the University . During the Covid crisis after the vaccine was available my choir, whom I have sung with for several decades, required you have a vaccine card stating you had the vaccines and you had to wear the mask while singing. Well needless to say I did not comply and did not go to participate. You had to show your vaccine card before you could enter the room. I had had Covid but they didn’t count that as having immunity. That has since passed and I am singing once again in my choir. I found that my professor friends were more gullible to the propaganda than just regular people. They don’t think out of the box. I couldn’t believe how paranoid people were during this period.
I hope and pray this will be a wake up call for the next terrible problem the powers to be will throw at us.
Have a great day!
What happened in your choir also happened in spouse's band in Oregon and our bunny volunteer group. We never returned to those groups and fled the state. We saw the WWII similarities almost from the get-go, even before knowing anything about the horrific mandated shots, which are being pushed -- and pushed in -- to this day.
I live in a very conservative state but it was part of the University. The good ole propaganda places of learning
They are the box
Exact same situation with my 2 choirs during COVID, in super strict CA. I chose to give up my choirs I loved, rather than participate in what I knew to be an epic evil. I lost several friends and choir gigs I loved, but kept my integrity intact. And I moved out of CA and ended up in a conservative state and am much happier now.
Good for you for sticking to your principles!
What a fascinating story and truly thorough review. I've always been intensely intrigued about anything to do with WWII, mainly due to my parents emigrating to the US from the Netherlands after living through that nightmare. I almost don't need to read the book due to your in-depth review. Maybe, though, this book will put to rest all the morbid curiosity I've had about the Nazis and atrocities so easily seen on the internet and instead spring board me to truly see things as they are here in the US (and elsewhere) and how to stay apart from those nefarious streams of public interactions.
Currently in print is Anatomy of Malice by Joel E. Dimsdale, an analysis of the Nuremberg criminals from the perspective of a modern psychologist. Very good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EUYN6BG/?bestFormat=true&k=anatomy%20of%20malice&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-v2_k0_1_17_de&crid=3HDRDJBDZOVQV&sprefix=anatomy%20of%20malice
I saw the this movie in the theater. Great picture and Russell Crowe did a phenomenal job. Will need to get the book to get more in depth.
easiest is to download the free PDF. Good luck finding a used copy of the book at anything under 800$
more books....

Cultural Revolution Survivor: Wokeism Is ‘Totalitarian’ | Xi Van Fleet
At about the same time Hervey Cleckley published "The Mask of Sanity", 1941, and Political Ponerology was developed by Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Łobaczewski, the scientific study of the nature of evil adapted for political purposes. Both detailed sociopathy/psychopathy as human aberrations and the greatest source of evil one can do to another. Robert Hare developed his check list for identification of these individuals. We continue to gloss over this personality in society as isolated but they continue to be our greatest internal threats to the human race.
Here's another good movie:
Judgment at Nuremberg (video 3 hrs). Dramatization of the 1948 trial of four German jurists accused of legalizing Nazi atrocities. Nearly every scene in this 1961 movie is shockingly similar to what’s taking place TODAY: https://tubitv.com/movies/100006404/judgment-at-nuremberg
Also watch a good 49-minute episode of "Danger Man" with Patrick McGoohan. It's about a Nazi doctor who involved in vaccine research during WWII.

This episode aired January 28, 1966, but seems prescient today, especially starting around the 38 minute timestamp. (Danger Man is the British name for a series known in America as "Secret Agent." Uses a different theme song from the one many of us know and love.)
