Unfortunately this is true. The longer I have been in, the more I recognized it is a racket.. even before this pandemic. And aren’t all of the five traditional Professions rackets? Smedley Butler gave a testimony for his field. All five could be said to be methodical bourgeois constructs shaped by elites to defuse tensions and ambitions as well as to more effectively police the majority..

However, there remain many good men and women physicians, perhaps paradoxically more so now. In medicine, just as with current narratives and plots, Things Fall Apart for the elites. I have noted that as it became a commodity, and a salaried sweathouse, the “intelligent ones” departed for greener pastures, such as Wall St and financial speculation, business, etc.. The money is not really in medicine anymore, at least relatively in cost-benefit analysis for grifters. Also law became more prestigious for certain families? So through these developments and process of attrition, many in medicine today actually want to help and care about their patients.

Unfortunately this was foreseen too, and skills are not as developed in medical schools compared to earlier generations, so you have allopaths wedded to technology and worshipping Big Pharma guidelines and prescribing pills and chasing lab numbers and not seeing the whole person or the lay of the land.. Also to make the same money as in the 70s, you have to see 2-3x the case-load, as one older shrink complained to us years ago; this works out to a mind-numbing 30-40 patients per day. This has been an effective tactic by TPTB to defang doctors’ energy and potential of leadership in society, as well as to get many to dislike humans too! So the altruism is often wasted even as more than ever enter medical school with good intentions.

PS – while in training about 20-25 years ago, I started to see the withering away of solitary GP/FP practices. The shingles were coming down everywhere. Sole practitioners are powerful forces in each society, for the potential greater good, and they were systematically targeted. See the moving movie, “Doc Hollywood (1991)” to get a sense of influence and store of wisdom they used to have in old days, especially in rustic locales..

Single practices lost patients to resilient multi-practices and wealthy managed health corporations who priced them out, as well as a regulatory tsunami which bankrupted them or turned them increasingly into a boutique clinic avoiding medicare/medicaid. Clearly there was a consolidation of the field, as with MSM, banks, Big Pharma, Big Data etc.. in preparation for tighter controls. We see why now. We also see the lack of resistance today from most docs on the payroll – and more bravery from nurses and techs, even though most know the health crisis is being diabolically mismanaged. It is the hallowing out and criminal corrupting of all fields, so sad.

PPS – Pl dont get sick!!! And if you, avoid western hospitals! They will intubate you for having constipation & claim their covid check. See that local vet or osteopath. I have tremendous respect for vets, both of my parents were trained as such, before one became a diplomat. I could never slide any BS by them.. and in many countries vets put their versatile skills with large animals to good use on humans too.

Dear Amarynth,

Well said. I hope they succeed! I was aware of them via CAF and others, and other groups besides. Many if not most docs are on their side against the System. And we need public-domain brainstorming and education from experienced inspiring planners of goodwill for the upcoming new medical paradigm, as is being done with SWIFT replacements and all other corrupted western institutions. We need optimism and a quick change from the Disease and Death Cult which currently prevails, before it kills or cripples us all.

However TPTB have a death grip on all western doctors’ critical choke points.. the Banks which service their crazy debt loads, the licensing Boards which confer certificates allowing them to be employable, even many of the Hospitals which have dismissed them if they stepped out of line.. Peer pressure via controlled Professional Associations is huge too. In stark contrast to prior eras, I sense current docs are strongly herd-oriented and like to stay “within best-practices” and “accepted-norms of the specialty,” if only to preserve themselves from litigation risk. Many are also averse to the disapproval of colleagues, which can hamper future employability, as many docs tend to move around nowadays and need to maintain networks.

As a realist I do not see how the sane and common-sense doctors you posted could prevail while the current Beast System exists. Their efforts may be useful later on, after the Big War. And most current docs may choose their creature comforts and lifestyle within the System, rather than walk with the Resistance towards an uncertain future.. They have known nothing except the System from birth. In this they are no different from all other professions plugged into the Matrix – most hesitate to free themselves.

This System has the same malignant intent towards health and managed medicine as it does towards Russia.. It wants a sick population with limited options being symptom-managed for a permanent profit motive. And few conscientious competent doctors in the way. So accordingly, most doctors have been cleverly boxed in for many generations now, using Debt, License, Law, Salary, Regulation, Company Rules, Peer Status, etc. For those who get in the way, it will bankrupt them (lawsuits, slander in local newspapers and social media rumor mills, auditing by gov agencies, etc..), or get them fired, or delicensed, or for some celebrity ones, even killed. Fortunately, it looks like this System is coming down one way or another, so we have only to be patient, and people of good intent will prevail again. For sure the meek shall inherit.

Olaf,

Good points. Most docs have good will towards their patients. Most are not fighters and the System knows it, so it works around them in several ways. For example, in many countries now, in order to even be admitted to an outpatient clinic or even emergency lifesaving inpatient ward, you need to submit a QR code or health passport.. Just as Biden/Feds do it by putting most of the burden on states and corporations to enforce it, the System puts the onus on gatekeepers, not the doctors. Another is requiring nurses and triaging staff to enter vaccination status on their file, just like vital signs, which also needs to be logged by many doctors. So regulations and clinic rules supersede doctors’ will, even if that acute patient care visit has nothing to do with mandates, the system will have actionable data logged. I am sure Mr P could spend weeks regaling of the fascinating databases maintained by the IBM Corporation in the 1930s, which led to subsequent projects such as Aktion T4 etc.. In a similar vein, there is an ongoing vacuuming of human biometric and health data on an unprecedent scale, assuredly not for benign purposes.
