I’ve been thinking for a long time about how to move forward in life as the Covid crisis becomes a part of history. We saw and are still seeing many terrible things. It is overwhelming when I take time to think of all harm caused by the pandemic policies and the Covid “vaccines”: 1) The announcement of “pandemic” lockdowns globally—societies (especially kids) continue to suffer from this catastrophic policy; 2) the suppression of effective medications for those ill from Covid or with Covid-like symptoms; 3) application of harmful interventions to Covid patients (ventilators, Remdesivir, Midazolam), which resulted in many deaths; 4) The creation of gene therapeutic “vaccines” that are inherently harmful; 5) coercion to induce many to inject an experimental substance into their bodies; and 6) the ongoing resulting deaths, harm, and illness resulting from the coerced experimental vaccine intervention. The horror show continues, though many do not link the ongoing casualties to the injections. Globally, fatalities are estimated by Rancourt (2023) and Kirsch (2023) to be 10 to 17 million deaths and multiples of that in illness and injury.
As all this unfolded, many went along with the narrative presented to society, unable and/or unwilling to apply a measure of scrutiny to what was happening. For many, it is easier to accept the proclamations and edicts of the authorities than to ask questions to determine whether what was being asserted passed any kind of smell test. Many others began to see the scam and pushed back.
Experts with outstanding credentials presented “alternative” points of view but were often dismissed and even ridiculed for doing so. Wikipedia pages were revised…previously highly respected scientists quickly went from heroes to zeroes. These voices were systematically censored by media and social media outlets.
Some were pleased to announce when they complied with the vaccine coercion/mandates, and too few understand that most “Covid” fatalities could have been avoided with proper treatments that were denied by the health establishment.
Today, the Covid booster uptake is very low (~3%) and yet too few will directly acknowledge that there was a problem from the very beginning. While they instinctively recognize that they don’t need or want the injection, many do not acknowledge or realize they’d been fooled by an orchestrated sham that was implemented to achieve other goals.
As I considered what has transpired, a scene from the movie “Pulp Fiction” came to mind. Here is the context. Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) is a boxer who agrees to throw a fight. He’s working with mobster Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). If Coolidge loses the fight, both stand to make a lot of money. During the match Coolidge decides not to throw the fight and wins by knock out. This means that Wallace is going to owe a lot of money on losing bets, and so he sets out to kill Coolidge. As the chase ensues, they end up in a seedy part of LA and into a pawnshop. The two pawnshop owners are fully depraved, and they subdue Coolidge and Wallace. Coolidge and Wallace find themselves tied up in the pawnshop basement where they are going to be abused and likely killed.

As the two assailants begin their dirty work starting first with Wallace, Coolidge manages to free himself. After pummeling the slave-gimp, his first instinct is to exit the premises as quickly as possible. As Coolidge is about to leave the pawnshop, he has a change of heart. Even though Wallace intended to kill Coolidge, somehow his conscience tells him that he can’t leave Wallace down there with the perverted abusers, so he goes back to rescue Coolidge. In return, Wallace agrees to stop hunting Coolidge. You can watch the five-minute movie clip here if you want, but it is truly awful.
Here is my thought process regarding how this scene relates to what is happening in our culture. There are three character-types in this scene: Wallace/Coolidge, the slave-gimp, and the depraved pawnshop owners. Wallace and Coolidge are no angels. Both have cheated and even killed, and yet they still have a conscience and know right from wrong. The slave-gimp is exactly that; he is corrupted and abused to the point that he obeys his master’s bidding. Last, the depraved pawnshop owners are past the point to redemption, giving themselves to evil.
If I may simplify to make a point, people can be grouped into three categories. There are people who are truly depraved. They may fly in private jets, wear very nice clothes, meet in fancy locations, use sophisticated language, and pretend to have the interests of others at heart. All the while, they implement plans and policies which have led to death and harm of millions…to achieve whatever objectives they have.
Then there are slave-gimp types. These are people who do what they are told by the pawnshop owners. These can be a country’s leader, a corporate executive, or they can be a major health authority or scientist. They appear to be primary decision-makers but are actually slave-gimp types.
There are many who, like Wallace and Coolidge, are not innocent. They’ve made their fair share of shady deals or bargains with the devil. Yet, when faced with true depravity Coolidge had a choice: 1) ignore the evil and move on, pretend it doesn’t exist, and/or forget; or 2) recognize the evil and decide to push back.
Though Wallace was trying to kill Coolidge, Coolidge couldn’t leave Wallace to be abused and killed by the truly depraved. Re-exposing himself to potential harm, he goes back into the basement to rescue his “enemy” Wallace. Though Coolidge is imperfect, he has a conscience—he knows what he must do and does it.
The Covid crisis has given us a better idea where the pawnshop basement is and who the pawnshop owners are. And we have seen and heard the suffering. One of our options is to quietly move past the pawnshop and try to get on with our lives. Or we can do what we can to stop the depraved. While many have sacrificed much to push back against the darkness, others have: 1) denied the existence of the pawnshop basement and the ongoing horror; or 2) had a glimpse of the pawnshop basement and heard the screams but do not want to disrupt their lives to help.
When my kids were young, I used to pose silly questions with an underlying moral lesson such as: “Suppose I put a little poop in this brownie mix. Would you eat the brownies? You won’t even be able to taste it.”
This is where I find myself—there is a lot of poop in my brownies. As Toby Rogers has articulated, the United States is organized around producing:
- poison (Pharma, pesticides/plastics, Frankenfood)
- war (military contractors)
- energy (oil, natural gas, coal, solar, wind), and
- forgetting (the big media industries that produce stories that narcotize society into ignoring how bad things are)
In addition, the high-tech sector has suppressed vital life-saving information. The legacy media is largely propagandized. The health sector implemented actions that led to the unnecessary deaths of many. Healthcare workers were coerced into being Covid vaccinated. The largest banking/finance corporations are likely central players in implementation of the pandemic activities.
How can one live in such a way as to reduce the amount of poop in one’s life? What kind of entity does one work for, and can one work for that entity while preserving one’s ethical core? Does one’s place of worship value human life…are our church leaders willing to share life-saving information, even if it comes at a cost of potential conflict? Can one’s investments be allocated to activities consistent with one’s values? The challenge is that if one has retirement savings in a 401k or equivalent, investments are restricted to mutual funds; many mutual funds have a lot of poop in them. Pharma? High tech? Military-industrial complex? Health sector? Is it possible to direct resources to activities that are better aligned with one’s values? Perhaps the biggest challenge is that our tax dollars are being used to build the pawnshop and pay the slave-gimps and pawnshop owners.
We are all forced to bargain. How much poop is too much poop? To what degree are our resources being used to support the slave-gimps and the pawnshop owners? Will we walk past the pawnshop and ignore the muffled screaming?
The most important personal and societal challenges we face are ethical. How does one live in a corrupt society without also being corrupted? Do we have the courage to face the challenges, and perhaps acknowledge our role in propping up the system? Questions to ponder.
Kudos to you for being able to incorporate the most disturbing scene of Pulp Fiction and making it relatable to our current predicament. Genius.
Your analogy is a good one.
There needs to a Nuremberg 2. My instinct is that the number of people who should face severe charges numbers in the thousands. It seems the lessons of the Nuremberg 1 have been forgotten by the people who have caused the current calamity.
In grappling with your profound questions, we confront an unembellished truth: the world exists in its raw reality, unyielding to the idealistic narratives we often wish for. This simplicity, however, proves a difficult pill for the erudite and brilliant minds among us to swallow.
Abstract concepts like religion, morality, justice, freedom, and identity, though providing a semblance of order and purpose, often shield us from the disconcerting facts that dot the landscape of existence. Unpleasant realities lurk in the shadows – infants born into stillness or disfigurement, casualties of substances or procedures designed to truncate their nascent lives. Thousands more meet tragic ends, victims of accidents both mundane and catastrophic, in a world seemingly indifferent to their innocence. Yet, these stark occurrences remain conspicuously absent from the narratives espoused in religious gatherings, as if the discomforting questions they pose are best left unasked.
Consider the audacity inherent in the human endeavor to “save” a planet—a celestial entity that has weathered cosmic upheavals and bore witness to epochs long before our brief sojourn on its surface. To presume that we, as a species, possess the power to rescue such a resilient and enduring entity smacks of an arrogance that transcends our place in the cosmic order.
Morality and ethics, comforting in their simplicity, are juxtaposed against a reality that refuses to conform to our ideals. Countless fathers unknowingly raise children born of infidelity, and across the globe, souls toil in abhorrent conditions to produce goods that we, as consumers, acquire with indifferent nonchalance. Corruption, exploitation, and injustice permeate the very fabric of our societies, challenging the romanticized notions we may wish to lull ourselves to sleep with at night.
Justice, that elusive concept promising fairness, crumbles under scrutiny. The deeds of historical figures like Hitler, Stalin, and Truman, or contemporary malefactors like arms dealers and environmental exploiters, go unpunished in any cosmic courtroom. Instead, we all return to the same cosmic dust, irrespective of the paths we traverse in our ephemeral existence.
In the face of such unsettling realities, acceptance becomes the linchpin to finding joy in life’s tumultuous journey. It is akin to witnessing a hornet and a butterfly ensnared in a spider’s web—acknowledging the inevitability of life’s struggles and understanding that, despite our warnings, many will succumb to the intricate web of fate. This, undeniably, is the unspoken bargain of existence—one we must navigate with eyes wide open.
