Before you bail on this post, please, hear me out. I am well aware that the title of this post is loaded with emotional language, and that it might strike to the heart of some readers — especially if they or a loved one is part of the crowed in question. But this is a post on Logic, and Logic has no emotion. This is why, when properly applied, it can help us sort through emotional issues — like this one.

Long time readers may remember, I hold a Sociology degree, which means, this subject is sort of in my wheelhouse. But, before we dive into our discussion, I’d like to start out the way I always do when we examine a subject such as this: with the definition(s) of the most critical words we’ll be using. Therefore:

Definition of cult

1 : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious (see spurious sense 2) also : its body of adherents the voodoo cult a satanic cult

2a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (such as a film or book) criticizing how the media promotes the cult of celebrity especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad

b : the object of such devotion c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion the singer’s cult of fans The film has a cult following.

3 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual also : its body of adherents the cult of Apollo

4 : formal religious veneration: worship

5 : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator health cults

As you will notice, religion is closely associated with the notion of a cult. At first glance, this may seem to exempt the people who are pushing the vaccinations. After all, they constantly claim to be following the science, and science is the opposite of religious superstition — right? Well, not so fast. Did you catch this post yet?

LESSONS IN LOGIC: Science vs. ‘The Science’

If you haven’t already done so, you really need to stop and read that post, as this one builds off of it. But for those who aren’t going to follow my suggestion, the people pushing the vaccinations are a religion unto themselves, and ‘The Science’ is their deity. I say this because, if you’ll read the previous post, I have already proven it — and I did so by definition. Remember, rational people do not reject with sound, valid and rational arguments based solely on definitions as those are the strongest possible arguments you can make.

So, let’s be clear: the people pushing the vaccinations belong to a religion, and that religion is unorthodox. They also rally around a central figure. In this case, that would be Fauci. They are devoted to the vaccine and the promise that it will save them. They have turned the masks and social distancing into religious ritual. And this is all based on an attempt to prevent or cure a disease. Now, if you would please go back to the definition and re-read it, you will see that the people pushing the vaccinations meet the requirements of the definition. Therefore, they are a cult. This is why Steve Deace has dubbed them The Branch Covidians. Since I like the descriptive affect of this term, I am going to adopt it.

But I do not want to stop there. I would like the reader to seriously and sincerely consider everything that the Branch Covidians have said and done as you read through this following excerpt (and please, note the source):

Characteristics Associated With Cults

Concerted efforts at influence and control lie at the core of cultic groups, programs, and relationships. Many members, former members, and supporters of cults are not fully aware of the extent to which members may be manipulated, exploited, or even abused. The following list of social-structural, social-psychological, and interpersonal behavioral patterns commonly found in cultic environments may help you assess a particular group or relationship.

Compare these patterns to the situation you were in (or in which you, a family member, or friend is currently involved). This list may help you determine if there is a cause for concern. Bear in mind that this list is not meant to be a “cult scale,” or a definitive checklist to determine if a specific group is a cult; this is not so much a diagnostic instrument as it is an analytical tool:

• The group displays an excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.
• Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
• Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, or debilitating work routines) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
• The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (e.g., members must get permission to date, change jobs, or marry—or leaders prescribe what to wear, where to live, whether to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth).
• The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and its members (e.g., the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar—or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity).
• The group has a polarized, us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
• The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders, or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations).
• The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group (e.g., lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities).
• The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence and control members. Often this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
• Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.
• The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
• The group is preoccupied with making money.
• Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.
• Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
• The most loyal members (the “true believers”) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave—or even consider leaving—the group.

Now, I will admit, I was tempted to point out examples of how the Branch Covidians exhibit nearly every one of these characteristics. I was going to do it in bold, red text — so no one could miss it. But then I remembered: one of the characteristics of a cult is that they cannot be reached by reason, so I’d be wasting my time. If you are in the cult, you need serious professional help to get out (personally, I would recommend Yeshua, but that’s just me). If you are not a part of the cult, then I doubt I need to point out how the Covidians demonstrate these characteristics. You were probably thinking them up as you read this. Therefore, I decided to leave well enough alone.

The issue now is to determine where the Covidians lie along the ‘cult scale.’ Well, to start with, search the page from where I found this. Go ahead, type in ‘cult scale’ and see what you find. The page seems to be aimed almost entirely at Trump and the GOP (see, I told you to check my source 😉 )!!! What’s more, I agree with most of the posts claiming there is a ‘Cult of Trump,’ or that the GOP is a cult. Large parts of it are, but the thing the web page misses is that the parts of the GOP that are in the GOP cult are the Right-Wing Progressives. This means they have much more in common with the Branch Covidians and the Progressive Left (i.e. Liberals/Democrats) than they do with ‘Conservatives/libertarians.’ But that is a different argument. The point here is, the people in the cult do not recognize it — per this pages own description. Sadly, it applies to the people who built this web source on cults (they cannot see past the plank in their own political eyes — as evidenced by the fact that they do not identify any Left-wing cults).

So, the web page is no help in evaluating how dangerous the Branch Covidian cult is. Well, no worries, we do not need any ‘experts’ to tell us this information. We simply need to ask the following questions:

Who refuses to even debate the vaccines: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Who rejects any and all discussions of alternative treatments: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Who refuses to discuss or even recognize contradicting data about the shots: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Who wants to use force to make people take the shots: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Who is threatening to ‘cancel’ anyone who refuses to take the shots: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Who wants to exclude people from society for refusing to take the shots: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Who is threatening to or has actually started putting people in camps for refusing the shots: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Who has gone so far as to say peolpe who refuse the shots should be killed: the Covidians, or the anti-vaxers?

Dear reader, the answer to every one of those questions is, The Branch Covidians have! Ergo, the answer to where the Branch Covidian cult lies on the scale of ‘scary cults’ is pretty high. In fact, they already have both feet well down and their but barely perched on the edge of the slippery slope which leads to atrocities like the holocaust. All the signs are there, we just need to open our eyes and see them — then find the courage to accept them as reality.

However, the “International Authority on Cults and Coercion’ is correct in another point it makes: we cannot reach or help the people caught in the Branch Dividians by yelling at them. It will take years of careful, patient and understanding education to free them from their indoctrination. The problem is, due to the nature of this cult, and its global reach, and the fact that it is lead, funded, supported and protected by global governments and their international corporate partners, it is very unlikely that we have the necessary time to red-pill them. So, unfortunately, unless we have some sort of global miracle, the whole world is in a great deal of peril (see why I suggested Yeshua? 🙂 ).

It’s past time I address this issue, and I’ll do my best to keep it short, simple and crystal clear. All of the following are absolutely true and can actually be verified by you — if you’ll just do a little research without using Google or the corporate social media:

–No matter your age or health, you have a 99.4% chance of surviving COVID.

–If you recover from COVID, your natural antibodies are far more effective than the shots.

—The government and its partners in corporate media, social media, education system and the pharmaceutical industry all tell us these vaccines are safe and effective.

—All four of these groups are known liars! All three have been caught lying — repeatedly — and it has increased in recent years.

—The injections are not vaccines — they are experimental, genetic programming therapies using artificial RNA strands.

—These injections have not been thoroughly tested (the FDA even admits this in their own approval).

—In fact, all previous attempts to properly test mRNA injections were shut down by the FDA because people or the test animals died.

—The FDA did not approve anything, they played a legalized word game and then falsely declared the vaccines safe and approved.

–Pfizer actually injected and counted people who already had natural immunity to increase the efficacy rating of their shot to get this falsified approval.

–The CDC is not a government organization; it is a private corporation funded largely by the money it makes off of patents that it filed using government funding.

—There is no ‘settled science’ here. There are plenty of well-known, highly-accredited doctors who speak clearly, calmly and with great detail in explaining the dangers of these shots.

–The man who won the Nobel Prize for inventing the mRNA technology is urging global governments to stop with the injections.

–The man who won the Nobel Prize for inventing PCR testing says they are intentionally misusing it to create excess positive COVID numbers

–The same man also says the technology cannot determine the difference between COVID-19 and the ‘Delta’ variant.

—In fact, the real science advocates against the shots.

—Science has also proven that the masks do no good, and that they even cause harm to children.

–The data also shows that the vaccinated are a greater risk to the unvaccinated — not the other way around.

—The lock-downs are also causing damage to the mental health of society as a whole.

—Israel and Sweden are two foreign test cases, as are New York City and North West Florida region — all of which favor natural immunity over the shots.

—The data has proven you can still catch COVID — even after the shot and both boosters.

—The data shows you can still die from COVID — even after the shot and both boosters.

—The data also shows that the numbers being reported regarding COVID deaths cannot be trusted.

–The data is proving that Ivermectin, Hydroxicholoquine and the z-pack are safe, cheap, plentiful and effective preventative and early treatment therapies for COVID

–Ivermectin actually won the Nobel Prize for medicine because of how safe and effective it is in treating a wide variety of ailments.

–Hydroxichloroquin has been in safe use world-wide for more than 100 years.

–The U.S. government stockpiled Hydroxichloroquine after the last SARS outbreak for use in a future outbreak of an air-born respiratory virus — just like COVID

–The ‘Big Pharma’ alternatives are expensive, and the companies are getting wealthy off taxpayer money.

—The numbers also show that the numbers being reported regarding new cases of COVID are — at best — misleading.

—The numbers also show that hospitals that report being over-run are not always full, they are full to their capacity of available beds due to staff shortages. Lack of staff = fewer beds that can be used.

—The ‘pro-vaxers’ refuse to allow any opposing voices to be heard, banning them from speaking and scrubbing their videos.

—The ‘pro-vaxers’ are destroying the lives of anyone who opposes them and their agenda.

—The ‘pro-vaxers’ are going so far as to advocate that people who refuse the shots be housed in concentration camps — or even shot (yes, they have said these things, and it has actually gone so far that the camps have started in Australia).

—People are being injured and have even died from these shots.

—The global economy is being deliberately destroyed through the lock-downs and mandates.

—They even have national radio adds talking about the Global Reset, and how we can build a newer, better, more inclusive society in the wake of COVID.

—The ‘pro-vaxers’ are lead by a man with no medical training, who is a third generation Eugenicist, and who has openly boasted about how he can use vaccines to depopulate the world.

–The mandates — by government and businesses — are illegal! The emergency authorization act used to approve these experimental shots states — 7 times — that the shots cannot be forced on people who do not want to take them — no ‘exemptions’ required (read the law, folks).

ALL OF THIS IS IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, AND THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA!

*********

I can keep going, but I’ll stop here — and I didn’t even mention any of the other factors I have had reported to me by trusted source, but I could not verify. No have I listed any of the more insidious agendas of the ‘pro-vax’ crowed, or of the history of the mRNA technology.

*********

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT

—The shots do appear to provide some measure of prevention against death if you catch COVID after having been vaccinated — but only for a very short, specific window of time. After that, you need another booster.

*********

LET’S ‘DO THE MATH’ HERE

Everything I just listed is absolutely, 100% FACT — PERIOD! I will not listen to anyone — no matter what credentials they claim — who tries to argue otherwise. The statements above have even been made by ‘pro-vax’ sources. You just have to put the corporate media away and spend some time looking for the information they are hiding from you.

So, what is the rational choice? If you are simply looking at this logically, the answer is easy: DO NOT GET THE SHOT (unless — maybe — you are in a very high-risk category).

However, if you read all of this, are not in a high-risk category, and you still opt for the shot… Well, I’m not going to condemn you, but neither am I going to count you as rational — because you have gone against simple logic and the actual facts of the issue.

Dear Reader,

It is way past time we all understood that ‘The Slippery Slope’ is not always a fallacy.  Sometimes, it is a very real threat.  Case in point: the Patriot Act has come back to bite many of us — just like we were warned it would.

Dear Reader,

We need to take a good, close look at the meaning of ‘terrorism.’  Then we need to look even closer at current events.  If we do so, we might be surprised to find out the biggest terrorist organization in America has nothing to do with ‘white supremacy,’ but rather, the government of the United States!  If you doubt me, keep reading.  I’ll prove it.

Dear Reader,

I am sick and tired of the lies being accepted in this country. Here is all you need to know about Critical race Theory (CRT).  By its own definition, anyone who supports or advocates for CRT is a racist!  PERIOD! Full stop! Now, give me just a few minutes of your time and I’ll prove it.
