Mencken, Mullis & Me

I have always admired the American writer Henry Louis (H. L.) Mencken (1880-1956). An unusually gifted essayist, but he was much more than that. He never compromised his individuality; damned whatever and whomever he chose; was perennially distrustful of authority; and retained a sharp sense of mischief. If I could choose my favourite Mencken quote, it would probably be this:

‘All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him. If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both.

‘One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives.

‘The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.

If Mencken had been born fifty or so years later, he might have found time to write about a maverick scientist called Kary Mullis (1944-2019). Mullis, like Mencken himself, never conformed to his environment. He never forgot the maxim that all truth begins as heresy; and, when his friends advised him to ‘cut out all the whacko stuff’ from a 1968 Nature article, I reckon he would have taken it as a compliment to his originality. Throughout his early years as a scientist, he would argue with anyone, regardless of relative status, which is exactly as it should be. His ‘awkward squad’ membership never lapsed.

In 1993, the mildly erratic genius (Dr) Mullis won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His brilliant invention, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), revolutionized one of my own fields, namely forensic and molecular biology. An ingenious means of amplifying (replicating repeatedly) small lengths of genetic material, it was, nevertheless, limited in its application. Most crucially, as Mullis stressed, it is not, and never could be, a diagnostic test for infection.

Fast forward to 2019. Kary Mullis died in August of that year, just before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a viral pandemic. Had he lived for a few more months, Mullis would have been outraged to discover that PCR was to be used as the principal diagnostic test for ‘COVID-19’. Even the censorship-obsessed corporate media would have had problems shutting him up (Figure 162.1).


Figure 162.1: The outlier versus the out-and-out liar. In this short interview, Nobel Laureate Dr Kary Mullis rips apart the USA’s long-time medical adviser, and proven liar, Anthony Fauci. In 2009, Fauci insisted that the H1N1 (swine flu) virus could infect 1 in 3 Americans, which was yet another example of scaremongering, used to further an ulterior agenda, which I discussed in Article 157. I would not trust Fauci if he told me the time of day.

The so-called ‘PCR test’ forms the foundation of the pandemic fraud. Each PCR process has a cycle threshold (Ct). The number of cycles is the number of molecular replications. 1 cycle yields 2 replicants; 2 yields 4; ... n yields 2 to the power of n. Hence, a standard Ct of 25 would yield 2 to the power of 25, which is 33,554,432. This is enough to secure a workable sample. Why, then, was the SARS-CoV-2 PCR protocol, with a Ct fixed at a hugely-excessive 45, accepted by the WHO? (It is clear why this protocol was never properly submitted for peer-review, as it would never have been accepted.)

The result of this biochemical sleight of hand is a false-positive rate of between 90 and 97%, which represents an absurd corruption of Mullis’s beautiful invention. I cannot but conclude that this ludicrous figure was a deliberate objective on behalf of the WHO. Consequently, for 18 months now, millions of healthy individuals have been told that they are infected and infectious, when neither was true. I am eagerly awaiting the forthcoming international legal actions against the corrupt perpetrators, who will not have a leg to stand on in Court.

We are living in a world of mass deception, engineered, as Dr Mullis warned, by deceitful pseudoscientists with an ulterior agenda. Their strategy, all along, was as follows:

1. Convince people that an especially deadly virus had appeared. (It had not.)
2. Insist to them that asymptomatic transmission would occur. (It does not.)
3. Persuade them to undergo ‘testing’ on a frequent basis. (Unnecessary.)
4. Lead them to assume that the PCR ‘test’ is valid. (It is most certainly not.)
5. Redefine all ‘positive tests’ as ‘cases’. (This is fraud: ‘case’ implies symptoms.)
6. Redefine ‘pandemic’ in terms of ‘cases’, no longer ‘excess mortality’. (Fraud, again.)
7. Avoid reporting data which prove no excess mortality. (Suppression of truth.)

Both Mencken and Mullis would have seen clean through the COVID hoax, as I have. It takes a certain mindset: critical; analytical; intellectually awkward; slightly cynical; coupled with a natural resistance to accept that the overall consensus must be correct. It is a tragedy that those of us with the capacity to dissect this scandal are in such a small minority. I have lost a good few (non-scientist) friends over the past year or so, simply for pointing out that they would benefit from questioning media propaganda instead of swallowing it whole and then regurgitating it as fact.

Be gentle, therefore, with us (heavily-outnumbered) mavericks. We are the only people currently standing between humanity and a world of evil.
