The Dissident 20
Look for these nonconformists to continue to smash the totalitarian hive mind in 2023.
Regrettably, a new totalitarian moment has arrived. Censorship, canceling and deplatforming are so common now, we barely notice. Blind obedience to contradictory, immoral and illogical ideas is routinely demanded by the most powerful institutions. Perhaps what is most disappointing about this authoritarian age is how few are willing to speak up - for themselves or others - in the face of blatant propaganda and evil.
Yet not all have stayed silent.
These 20 courageous voices have spoken out, often at great risk to themselves. Many have lost jobs, businesses, endorsements and opportunities. Others have been banished, publicly ridiculed, jailed and physically threatened. They’re in no particular order, as each one’s impact is immeasurably valuable in the domains of culture they influence. This list is not at all exhaustive, of course. How could it be? There are countless others who are bravely taking a stand - many whose names the world may never know. Still, let this list of dissidents - though woefully incomplete - serve as a beacon of hope to all who would courageously stand on their convictions, no matter the cost.
Jennifer Sey, Former CMO of Levis
Former gymnastics champion, Jennifer Sey, had a dream: to one day be CEO of Levis. And, in fact, she was on a trajectory to achieve exactly that until she did something totally unique in Corporate America today: she acted like a leader. After all, to be a true leader you must be willing to say what is unpopular and throughout the pandemic that’s exactly what Sey did. She objected on social media to what she believed were the harmful policies directed towards children during the pandemic. Specifically, the lack of in-person learning and the harm she believed it would cause. In doing so, she discovered that Corporate America doesn’t really want you to bring your whole self to work, just the self they say you must bring - a servile, compliant employee who tows the groupthink company line on everything, including inane Covid mitigation policy. When higher-ups told her to quiet down in exchange for staying on track for the CEO position, Sey refused. By neglecting to stand down, she no doubt lost eventual millions in stock options and priceless future Fortune 500 C-suite opportunities. Yet as her book summary says, “Principles and integrity matter. Ultimately, they matter more than anything else.” Jennifer Sey’s soul withstood the acid wash test and it seems, the only person worthy of wearing those famous 501s is the one executive who no longer works at Levi’s. Her book “Levi’s Unbuttoned: The Woke mob took my job, but gave me my Voice” is available here. And you won’t be surprised to learn, that Jennifer continues to unapologetically speak her mind on her Substack blog, “Sey Everything”.
John F. MacArthur, Pastor/Theologian
John MacArthur has a high view of scripture: inerrant, the very words of God. And MacArthur knows scripture commands - with utter clarity - that followers of Christ meet in person on the Sabbath. So when the Covid lockdown madness descended across the world and America in 2020 - especially in Blue States like California - MacArthur’s Grace Community Church’s initial compliance, soon turned to solemn defiance. While Pastor MacArthur affirms Christianity’s obligation to submit to governmental authority whenever possible, forsaking the gathering of his flock on Sundays was simply not an option - especially in light of the often specious and exaggerated “official” data about the virus. So MacArthur, at 81 (given the virus targets the elderly, MacArthur clearly practices what he preaches), began to speak again on Sundays. And little by little, congregants returned to the church in the very height of the pandemic. As a consequence, a flood of “Grace Refugees” from shuttered Los Angeles churches began to come, too, swelling MacArthur’s Grace Community Church’s membership by the thousands, while some 30% of churches in America closed forever. Yet MacArthur wasn’t done challenging the orthodoxy. In 2022, he rebuked the governor of California, Gavin Newsome, for using the words of Jesus on billboards to entice people to have abortions in California. Yet rather than simply condemn Newsome’s loathsome action, MacArthur, counter-intuitively asked his congregation to pray for the Governor’s soul instead. Undoubtedly, the “world” might not speak well of the Sun Valley, CA pastor. Yet, MacArthur, knowing the warnings of Jesus, would be worried if it did.
Maajd Nawaz, Author, Podcaster and Public Speaker
Author and public speaker, Maajid Nawaz knows a thing or two about fascism. He saw it up close, as a British-born teen, who became a radical Islamist. Eventually, he rose to leadership in the fundamentalist Islamist group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, and eventually, found himself in an Egyptian prison. During that time, Nawaz came to believe Hizb ut-Tahrir was hijacking Islam for political, fascistic purposes. Perhaps that explains how Nawaz easily sniffed out the rise of a new form of global fascism. He believes international power brokers are hijacking Western democracies via ginned up emergencies to install a new totalitarian regime of their own. Nawaz refers to it as the “global palace coup”. The global palace coup cloaks itself, according to Nawaz, in fake emergencies like the War on Crime, War on Terror, and the war against Covid and of course, in the war to rule them all: the war against Global Climate Change. All of these supposed existential battles are based in lies, Nawaz argues, all to create a pretext to strip citizens of their basic human rights in the name of “safety”. According to Nawaz, the mandated state jab was all the proof he needed to realize “that a war against the human soul” was being waged. Soon after tweeting about his beliefs, his contract was not renewed on the UK national radio station, LBC. Currently, programmable currencies, are the bee in Nawaz’s bonnet. In fact, he laid out his case for stopping Central Banking Digital Currencies (CBDCs), brilliantly on Joe Rogan, leaving the podcast giant’s jaw on the floor in the process. Nawaz explained in perhaps the most compelling way yet, that CBDCs will be the preferred tool of mass control, especially after the vaccine passport system failed. That’s because CBDCs are money that can be programmed by central banks to control how much you spend, what you spend on and where. Nawaz’s homeland, the UK, as the leader of the G7, is pushing CBDCs hard. And so, just as Nawaz predicted would happen, Rishi Sunak, a former Goldman Sachs executive has fortuitously, shall we say, become the new British Prime Minister. PM Sunak is an advocate of yes, you guessed it, CBDCs. And unfortunately for the PM and his pet CBDC project, he should expect that the radical truth teller, Nawaz, will be watching - and calling out - his every move.
Dr Naomi Wolf, Author, Journalist & Feminist
Demonized, then demonetized and yet Dr Naomi Wolf is still, “Outspoken”, as the name of her Substack blog defiantly declares. Once a Democratic strategist for Bill Clinton, the fiery third wave feminist has evolved in ways few could have predicted. For instance, sensing the authoritarian impulse rising in America, she’s recently become a second amendment advocate. In 2008, Wolf wrote a dystopian-esque non-fiction book, “The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot” that presciently describes a dark vision for where the Republic was headed. In it she outlines the ‘10 steps” for “closing societies” such as Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, and Stalin’s Russia. A mere 12 years later, we are living out her nightmare prediction, as totalitarianism has descended across America, and is playing out in Western democracies, in uncanny lockstep. Today, Wolf argues America is at “Step 10: Suspend the Rule of Law” and who can argue with her? Castigated as a “conspiracy theorist”, she is more accurately described as a grounded realist who simply calls it like she sees it. Case in point, when the FDA attempted to delay the release of the experimental Pfizer vaccine trial data for 75 years, Wolf smelled a rat. So when a federal judge in Texas ordered Pfizer to release the data immediately, Wolf assembled a team of lawyers to pour through the dense info dump. She discovered that the Pfizer trials showed the mRNA vaccine to be far more dangerous than Americans were led to believe. In her most recent book, “The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, COVID-19 and the War Against the Human” Wolf explains how Google, Bloomberg, Microsoft, Atlantic.com and John Hopkins University, conjured a “pandemic” out of digital “COVID dashboards”, that were “often essentially whipped up out of thin air” - which, of course, whipped the public into a frenzy. Wolf calls these data mirages “digital hallucinogens” because, she says, without seeing the underlying data sets that support the dashboards - which are purposely never revealed - it’s all smoke and mirrors. (She recently pointed out on her Substack that our new election processes are working the exact same way. Meaning, of course, we ought not trust what we can’t verify.) You can purchase Wolf’s explosive book here.
Jonnathan Issac, NBA Basketball Player
On July 31, 2020, Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic was the only NBA player to rise for the national anthem while the entire league was kneeling to BLM. The pressure to conform, when racial tensions were at an all-time high in America, especially for a young Black man in the NBA, must have been beyond immense. Yet Isaac says, of this moment in his book Why I Stand, “Despite this, peace surged through me. My breath was stable. My hands did not tremble. My stomach wasn’t twisted into a thick knot of paralyzing pressure. I had peace.” It might seem humanly impossible, but then, Jonathan Isaac has a knack for taking supernatural stands in the face of withering cultural heat. Just a little over a year later, Isaac gave one of the most articulate defenses ever uttered for not taking the vaccine. He calmly outlined to the media why he would not be partaking, citing his natural immunity and his medical privacy - all delivered with a disarming, infectious smile. Isaac was clearly more informed than 99% of media in that he understood - even then - that taking the experimental shot wouldn’t stop him from catching or transmitting the virus. So, how does Isaac stand tall when others kneel, knowing he will surely be the object of contempt for his convictional positions? Because his faith permits him to bow to only one: the first and the last. And to that, we say “Amen”.
Dr Michael Yeadon, Former Chief Scientist at Pfizer
Dr Michael Yeadon has been one of the most outspoken critics of flawed Covid mitigation policies since the beginning of the “pandemic”. Naturally, the media has tried to label him a “conspiracy theorist”, of course. Which means Yeadon is likely over the target. The problem for his detractors is that pesky factoid that he was the chief scientist and vice-president of the allergy and respiratory research division of the drug company, Pfizer. Meaning, Dr Yeadon knows about that which he speaks. A Big Pharma insider, Yeadon, it appears, has very little to gain and just about everything to lose. And yet, he has come forward with a shocking uber take on the pandemic: namely, that it was a giant overhyped scam. He believes all that was needed to deal with Covid-19 was the same counter-measures society has always taken against respiratory viruses: protect the old and immuno-compromised, but for everyone else? As you were. Meaning, people should stay home if they are sick, wash their hands - you know, do what we’ve always done. He argues we didn’t need lockdowns, masks or mandated experimental and dangerous universal vaccines. Of course, the more time that passes, the more Dr Yeadon appears to have been correct - about a great deal. And the jabs? Yeadon says this of the experimental shots: "There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. I've never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren't at risk from a disease." As is common when one is red-pilled, Dr Yeadon, has peered further down the rabbit hole and is now convinced something much more sinister is afoot than just foolish, over-reaching government Covid policy. His chilling letter to the world is a must-read and a warning of the storm that is gathering against humanity. It can be read on his Substack here.
Tulsi Gabbard, American Politician, Army Reserve Officer, Podcaster
If the Democrat party knew what was good for them, they would have taken one look at Tulsi Gabbard and made her their 2020 nominee for president. Then again, the current iteration of the Democrat party doesn’t know what a woman is, so they can be forgiven for not recognizing Gabbard’s obvious talent. Tulsi’s resume is impressive: served in the House’s 2nd District of Hawaii, Army reservist, articulate, photogenic and most of all, authentic - especially for a politician. The WEF even liked her enough to name her one of their Young Global Leaders, (but we won’t hold that against her). In other words, Gabbard is everything the very vacuous Vice President, Kamala Harris, isn’t. This fact was on full display in the primaries when Gabbard eviscerated the former DA of California who once claimed she smoked pot - just to appear down with the culture. Unfortunately for the VP, Gabbard seized on the hypocrisy and dressed down Harris for imprisoning thousands of Black Americans for various minor marijuana offenses. Harris never recovered from this rhetorical knock-out punch effectively ending her bid to the Democratic nominee. Recently, Gabbard disavowed and defected from the Democratic party in a scathing viral video announcement, citing reasons such as anti-white racism, which permeates every last vestige of the Blue team’s racialized platform. It’s not the same party, Gabbard said. And after watching the Democratic party cease to stand for freedom of speech, the working man, biological reality and scientific inquiry, Tulsi Gabbard is clearly no longer the same, either. Today, she’s evolved into a 2nd Amendment defender and has only become more opposed to America’s interventionist, failed foreign policy. Gabbard recently launched her own podcast, “The Tulsi Gabbard Show”. Yet Americans can only hope that she will one day return as a political disinfectant, helping cleanse the rancid cesspool that is Washington politics.
Chris Martenson, Scientist, Economic researcher, Futurist
According to Chris Martenson’s own site, Peak Prosperity, he’s a holder of a PhD (Duke), an MBA (Cornell) and is an “economic researcher and futurist specializing in energy and resource depletion”. Impressive credentials, to be sure. But Martenson’s greatest accolade/talent might be his ability to consume data, synthesize it into a digestible form and then share it with others. He also possesses an uncanny ability to pivot when the data demonstrates that the story has changed. Case in point: at the outset of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Martenson saw the lockdown policy coming well before the mainstream media, warning his “tribe” of Peak Prosperity members to prepare. And when the Wuhan market virus origin story seemed off, Martenson sounded an early warning of the likelihood of a lab leak - a full 2 years before the recent Senate Report - which now agrees with his precocious hypothesis. His propensity to tell the truth, early and often, may well have caused him to be throttled on social media. Martenson is a fearless critic of an elite class who’s hubris, he believes, is causing a worldwide systems collapse. And as he often reminds his followers, “It doesn’t have to be this way”. Yet he backs up his sweeping theories with hard facts, then laser cuts through all the “approved” consensus narratives with absolute precision. Martenson offers incisive, heterodox views about the economy, the environment and the precarious state of the West by illuminating the unseen forces (like energy) that shape and explain the world around us. His goal: not to preach despair, but instead to teach Peak Prosperity members to be resilient and prepared for whatever cataclysm our elites’ hubris may cause next.
Dr. James Lindsay, Author, Mathematician and Political Commentator
James Lindsay has a sardonic wit that makes him especially formidable to neo-Marxists. For example, “Ok, groomer” was his memetic response on Twitter to Queer Theory and its transgressive penchant for targeting children. He’s also minted useful and descriptive phrases such as, “The Iron Law of Woke Projection” and “Communism doesn’t know how”. Of course, Lindsay first burst on the scene when he created the “Grievance Study Affair” with Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose. The idea was simple: submit bogus papers (20 in all) to academic journals and see if they would pass peer review - all to prove how corrupted and ideological academic scholarship had become. Seven of the papers were accepted including one, entitled, “Human Reactions to Rape Culture and Queer Performativity in Urban Dog Parks in Portland, Oregon”. A classic line from the paper: “dog parks are petri dishes for canine ‘rape culture’”. Yet wit is only part of why Lindsay is a Robin DiAngelo fan’s worse nightmare. That’s because he combines his knack for mocking wokeness with a deep understanding of the ideologies that give it power. In fact, Lindsay understands the woke’s neo-Marxists roots better than, well, most woke neo-Marxists. And no wonder. In 2020, he co-wrote “Cynical Theories” which shows how universities went crazy thanks to social justice ideology and how “often-radical activist scholarship does far more harm than good, not least to those marginalised communities it claims to champion”. More recently, he completed a tour de force book entitled, “Race Marxism”, which explains the origins of the Critical Theory that rules them all: CRT. Lindsay painstakingly shows how neo-Marxist academics layered one theory on another: thesis, anti-thesis then synthesis, until they arrived where we are today with Marxism exhumed from the dead to plague the world once again. Lindsay argues persuasively in “Race Marxism” that to defeat this ideological mind virus, we must first recognize that Marxism is a religion. Clearly, the communist theocrats know Lindsay understands them all too well. Perhaps that’s why he was banned from Twitter. (But alas, as of this post, @ConceptualJames is tweeting once again.) You can also follow/support Lindsay on his Substack, New Discourses.
Elon Musk, CEO Tesla, Space X & Twitter
Why is the centrist, environmentalist, Musk (according to the media) suddenly the world’s most-hated CEO? The answer appears to be because he is - in his own words - a “free speech absolutist”. Indeed, the moment Musk bought Twitter, the Elon-hate machine kicked up a gear - just above, say, Ludicrous mode. On the news of the takeover, major corporations immediately suspended their ad buys, citing concerns about “safety”. Meanwhile, some celebrities and influencers hastily dropped the platform altogether. The howls of protest over Musk’s reinstatement of Trump and dozens of others who were de-platformed (even though many did not even break Twitter’s own policies) tells the tale: the totalitarian spirit of the age simply won’t tolerate a single social media platform being beyond its control. And it certainly won’t put up with some real-life Tony Stark opining about wokeness and telling people to vote Republican. It’s clear some very powerful forces want Musk silenced. Yet despite all the handwringing, the jury is actually still out on whether Twitter will turn out to be the first amendment sanctuary Musk says he wants it to be. There are some very encouraging signs thus far. The boot definitely feels like it came off the Twitterverse’s neck already with over 60,000 banned accounts in the process of being reinstated. There was also now famous Twitter files drop, via journalist, Matt Taibbi, that showed collusion between the Democratic Party and Twitter content moderators. And Musk even had the stones to call out Tim Cook publicly directly for allegedly mulling over the idea that Twitter might be banned from the Apple app store. On the other hand, Elon reinstated Trump not on principled grounds, but via a Twitter poll in which he asked users if 45 should be reinstated. Which means, in a sense, mob rule is still determining who can speak and can’t speak on Twitter. And some, like Alex Jones, won’t be tweeting anytime soon. Why? Simply because Elon doesn’t want Jones to (for personal reasons Musk explains here). This, along with the permanent suspension of Ye after his mental meltdown, would suggest Musk’s free speech absolutism has its limits. But again, it only makes all the gnashing of teeth by the left all the more bewildering. Is Musk’s vision of a more populist Twitter, that tilts towards free-er speech, really so threatening? Clearly, the powers that be believe it is. Which is why so many feel so much - maybe too much - is riding on one man. So, prayers up for Elon Musk. After all, the flamboyant, visionary CEO has voluntarily put himself in the crosshairs - all to preserve that first and most precious right. Will he succeed? Or succumb to the pressure? Who can say. But in 2022, no list of dissident voices would be complete without the renegade CEO and, X-factor, Elon Musk.
Michael O’Fallon, Entrepreneur, Founder of Sovereign Nations
Michael O’ Fallon knows a change is coming - a Great Reset - and he’s been telling anyone who will listen about it for, at least, the last 5-10 years. The change O’Fallon is talking about, as you might guess, won’t be a welcome one - except perhaps, for those few global elites who stand to benefit from enslaving the rest of humanity. O’Fallon, on his “The Causes of Things Sovereign Nation’s” podcast, cryptically mentions that he was once invited to get onboard with this revolutionary, top-down, inside-out, not-so-great globalist reset coming to a nation near you. Or, he could oppose it and be crushed. So, O’Fallon did what almost no one with a lot to lose does: he determined he would, against all odds, dedicate himself to fighting the coming global technocracy. O’Fallon doesn’t just tell you about The Great Reset, he gives you the why behind the it. His podcast and speeches expose the fertile fallacies that enable leftist revolutions and his keen understanding of history, reminds you that the totalitarian playbook is, frighteningly, always the same. He is especially outspoken about the infiltration of the American church by organizations like the WEF, who have enlisted well-known evangelical leaders (wolves?) to help groom and cull the Evangelical flock for the coming global, technocracy that intends to scatter it. O’Fallon is dogmatic in his defense of the church and he’s not afraid to name names. And there’s no doubt he’s facing a Goliath of opposition as American Evangelicalism has proven to be already deeply infected with the woke virus. Then again, O’Fallon also knows he’s not the one ultimately fighting this battle, in the end. Someone far more powerful is. And not even the gates of hell will stand against him. You can support O’Fallon’s work here.
Heather E. Heying, Biologist, Author and Podcaster
Heather Heying is a rare animal: a scientist who eschews ideology. She is principled, intelligent and above all else, dogmatically rationale. She never flinches from difficult topics, because, well, she’s a scientist and science, as she says, “is messy”. A biologist, Heying uses the scientific method to make sense of the world - an approach that was once a given. Then, sadly, woke ideology crept into the American university. At Evergreen State College she and her husband, evolutionary biologist, Bret Weinstein, were infamously run off campus for taking a principled stand against racism when students demanded a “Day of Absence”, in which all white people were asked to leave for the campus for the day (the film about this witch hunt is disturbing and riveting). In the end, Heying and Weinstein, obliged the radicals and left Evergreen permanently. As it turns out, it was the university’s loss, and the world’s gain. Today, Heying’s keen observations and mind is available to anyone via her “Natural Selections” Substack, her podcasts and books. You won’t be shocked to learn some things don’t change about Heying, because, as it turns out, the basic principles of science don’t. She’s a fierce defender of biological reality and is happy to explain, as only a scientist can, what makes women distinct and why biological sex is not merely a dress one can simply take on or off. You wouldn’t think the world would need Heather Heying to explain something so obvious, but as it turns out, it does - and she is just the scientist, and uncommonly brave woman, to do it.
Tucker Carlson, Author, Conservative Commentator
Once upon of time, Jon Stewart, was the king of satire, caustically skewering America’s political class on a nightly-basis. But then Democrats metamorphisized into woke totalitarians and Stewart, rather than evolve, stayed on the leftist crazy train (and if you hadn't noticed, funny isn’t allowed onboard). Enter Tucker Carlson. Out with the stiff bow tie and demeanor of his CNN days. In with his knowing smile and infectious eruptions of laughter that often occur mid-monologue five nights a week on Fox News. Every Tucker diatribe is truly must-see TV because from the moment of that first guitar riff you know you’re going to get a hot take unlike any other in media - informed, unique, out-loud funny and totally, as the kids say, based. In many respects, Carlson is the stand up comedian of our time. And the punchlines of his jokes are our corrupt, narcissistic elites and their nihilistic ideologies and policies. There’s an unsaid exchange happening between Carlson and his 4 million viewers every night: he knows we know - that twinkle in his eye is the dead give away. Because like any great comedian, Carlson is simply saying the things everyone knows is true, but are no longer allowed to say. Perhaps it’s because, like Dave Chapelle, Tucker is simply financially secure enough to left it rip at this point - consequences be damned. Yet his populist instincts and his concern for common Americans - who the media clearly loathe - do seem genuine. Whatever the explanation, Carlson’s mockery of elites is indispensable, as it is witty, making him a threat to the establishment without equal.
Dr. Bret Weinstein, Biologist, Author and Podcaster
It is said that the moment chooses the man. This was never more true than in the case of evolutionary biologist, Bret Weinstein. Were it not for an unjust, woke witch hunt - and his principled stand against it at Evergreen State College - the wider world might have been deprived of Weinstein’s keen intellect. As it turns out, Weinstein was destined to fight something even bigger than racism: creeping totalitarianism. Weinstein’s logical mind (if A, therefore B) is on display every week on his “Darkhorse Podcast”, where he and his wife, Heather Heying, dissect the mysteries - and propaganda - saturating our world using the scientific method. Perhaps Weinstein’s greatest gift though, is his ability to sniff out sophistry and then brilliantly and concisely untangle its flawed and dangerous logic. This talent helped him arrive early to the covid lab leak hypothesis. Not long after, Weinstein bravely extolled the benefits of Ivermectin, against the cries of “horse medicine!!!” by the media. And ever the principled scientist, he vehemently opposed vaccine mandates, citing the biological fact of natural immunity. His habit of logically pointing out all these truths caused him to be demonetized by Youtube. Still, Weinstein is stubbornly undeterred. While many intuitively know some unseen evil force is afoot, Weinstein is able to articulate the why we can be confident that it’s so. To listen to him theorize what is behind the embrace of scientism in the West, is to also grasp the frightening implications of this dangerous shift. His book, which he co-authored with Heying, “A Hunter Gather’s Guide to the 21st Century”, helps explain how we arrived here. Heying and Weinstein conclude, “The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we're not built for is killing us.” Of course, it was enlightenment scientific principles that helped pull the world out of the dark ages. With any luck, Bret Weinstein, and his scientific mind, will continue to illuminate and help diagnose the cause of our present darkness, helping us find the light again before it’s too late.
Dr. Peter McCullogh MD, American Cardiologist, Epidemiologist and Chief Scientific Officer of The Wellness Company
He’s an internist, cardiologist and epidemiologist. He’s one of the most published doctors ever with over 1,000 publications. He’s even testified before the Senate. Yet he is being progressively stripped of all Board Certifications, including Internal Medicine and Cardiology after decades of perfect clinical performance. There’s no hearings, of course, just curt termination letters with no opportunity for appeal. Perhaps they’re afraid of engaging the very thorough Dr McCullough? So, what are Dr. McCullough’s crimes exactly? Was it his persistent criticisms of the Covid-19 response? His advocacy for his own Covid treatment protocol to prevent hospitalization based on pathophysiological principles? His vehement support for medical freedom? Or, maybe, it was the doctor’s searing criticisms of the experimental, dangerous, vaccines themselves. The answer, of course, all of the above. But here’s the thing: McCullough has been proven correct. Every. Single. Time. Of course, that’s what makes Dr McCullough especially threatening to the bio-pharma complex - he’s both a compassionate doctor and inveterate truth teller. But it’s the reasonable way he presents his case that makes him as formidable, as he is approachable. Dr McCullough never freewheels, but always insists on citing studies, hard data and facts. Which is why the forces of medical tyranny absolutely must shut him up. Twitter, of course, bowed to the powers that be and banned him permanently. But McCullough is not easily deterred. He continues on “Fighting for medical freedom through scientific data and analysis.” In fact, the corruption that Covid-19 revealed, has inspired Dr McCullough - along with CEO, Foster Coulson, and other prominent doctors - to do something about it: create an entirely new healthcare system called The Wellness Company, which promises “Individualized care and treatment” and “Liberation from big Pharma”. Their mission statement says, “By unequivocally and unapologetically standing up for medical freedom and the right to affordable health care, our company’s vision champions the right to make one’s own choices for their body.” You can join Dr McCullough and his team by becoming a member here.
Jason Whitlock, Sports/Political/Cultural Commentator
Jason Whitlock likes to drop what he calls “Truth Bombs”. Whether you think his verbal ordinances are composed of “truth” or something else, well, that’s up to you. One thing is certain: Whitlock calls ‘em like he sees ‘em - on the field and, increasingly, off. He’s unafraid to wade into most contentious cultural alley fights, only to unload his incendiary hot takes that blow up consensus, establishment narratives. For example, the Kyrie fiasco, in which Kyrie tweeted a link - sans comment - to the film, “Hebrew to Negroes: Wake Up Black America”, (which is still available on Amazon). Whitlock believes all the garment rending about the independent-minded Kyrie in the media was nothing more than a highly-scripted overreaction. And he criticizes other Black sports pundits and players, who he believes are obediently towing the line, for dunking on Kyrie - all while disingenuously saying “Black Lives Matter”. Whitlock once opined that if you think it’s hard being a White male Christian in modern America, try being a Black one, giving listeners a sense of the strafing he regularly takes for his outspokenness. Recently, he tweeted, “You put women in charge of the culture, you’re going to get the results we as black people are getting. That’s why there are men swimming against women at Ivy League schools, because no one wants to hurt anybody’s “feelings”. Opinions like this won’t get the firebrand commentator his job back at ESPN, who, according to Whitlock, ran him out of his gig because he says the sports network only wants “feminized men”. And though Whitlock is a conservative Christian, don’t expect the usual knee-jerk Republican takes either. Recently, just as all of Conservadom decided to bail off the Donald Trump train, Whitlock immediately tripled-down, saying he’s on Team Trump more than ever. Why? Because love him or hate him, like Trump, Whitlock is anti-establishment to the core. He thinks the whole corrupt entrenched system has to be opposed and gutted. And not just the Democratic Party but, more importantly, the Republican Party. Hence, his belief that America needs a true outsider in the West Wing. You can watch the sports commentator, turned iconoclast, take on genuflecting establishment fakes 5 days a week on his show, Fearless. But be warned, bombs will fall.
Whitney Webb, Journalist, Author and Podcaster
Whitney Webb will red pill you. And no wonder, she has an encyclopedic ability to summon facts like a living, breathing Google search engine (although she likely wouldn’t like that particular comparison). Yet Webb’s real gift is her ability to connect dots until the outline of a story - usually one the mainstream media refuses to see - can be traced and methodically documented. Her explosive bestseller, “One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein, VOL.1 & 2”, is perhaps the most meticulously detailed investigation of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal to date. But unlike so many others, Webb doesn’t spend time documented the depravity of Epstein’s crimes or the who’s who list of celebrities who journeyed to Pedo Island on the infamous Lolita Express. Instead, Webb explores something far more important in “One Nation Under Blackmail”: “the nearly century old relationship between both US and Israeli intelligence and the organized criminal network known as the National Crime Syndicate”. In other words, Webb reveals how this epic scandal came to be - by revealing, as her book says, “that nexus between intelligence and organized crime directly developed the sexual blackmail tactics and networks that would later enable the sexual blackmail operation…”. But Webb’s interests and expertise go far beyond the Epstein debacle. She’s also the journalist who seems to best understand trans humanism movement, its relationship with the WEF and the threat the would-be-God elites pose to humanity. Webb is poking around in extremely sensitive areas, which may be why Glenn Beck asked her recently on his podcast, “are you worried ever about your safety?” But Webb insists “if you’re afraid of these people, you’re giving them power over you”. Despite the totalitarian tidal wave that appears to be ready to crash over humanity, Webb - who is only 33 - remains hopeful and seems to believe people will, in the end, gravitate to the truth. And as she awakens them, one by one, she says it’s incumbent on everyone to speak up - just as she courageously does - no matter the size of their platform. Webb’s admonition is a tough pill to swallow, but if freedom is to survive, swallow it we must.
Eric Metaxis, American Author, Speaker and Conservative Radio Host
Eric Metaxas has a simple, but important message for Christian leaders: grow a spine. In his latest book, “Letter to the American Church”, Metaxas warns that the American Church is at an “inflection point” and he argues that the parallels to the German church in the 1930s are unmistakable. Today, just like then, he says Christians are choosing to remain silent in the face of blatant unmistakeable evils, like CRT, radical transgender and abortion policies. He writes, “we must dare to see that many of these ideas share a bitter taproot all the way down to Hell” and are “inescapably anti-human and, ultimately, anti-God. Metaxis believes the American Church has been called, whether it likes it or not, to take a stand against these destructive ideologies. Yet instead, Metaxas observes, many Christian leaders, have designated these issues as so much “culture warring” and have recused themselves from the battlefield. If you know anything about Metaxas, you know he has a habit of speaking truthfully and boldly, like when he compared the evils of abortion to slavery at a National prayer breakfast - in front of President Obama - no less. And clearly, he believes boldness was never so important as it is now, less we become like the passive German Church who failed to speak during the rise of Hitler. Metaxas, unlike others, doesn’t shy away from invoking comparisons to Nazi Germany. In fact, he says if the American Church remains silent now, he is convinced, “we will reap a whirlwind even greater than they did”. He writes in the introduction, “It’s far easier to ignore God’s call than to rise to acknowledge it and rise to fulfill it, but it is more difficult and painful than anything to live with the results of ignoring God’s call. Let the reader understand.” And let’s hope that the American Church - which has become fat, lazy and, yes, cowardly - does understand its call. The time to fight is now, while the frog in the boiling pot can still leap. Let’s pray that his urgent message, like electrostatic paddles on the chest of a flatlining patient, helps shock the lukewarm body of Christ back into action, lest the Lamb of God spit the American church out of his mouth.
Catherine Engelbrecht, Founder of True the Vote
American’s faith in its election integrity is, perhaps, at its lowest ebb. And no wonder. After Trump’s election in ‘16, the mainstream media told Americans, repeatedly, that our elections couldn’t be trusted for four years straight. But then, magically, on the morning of Nov. 4th when Joe Biden was declared the 46th president, Americans were told the 2020 election was the most “secure in history”. Henceforth, anyone who questioned the election, was deplatformed, called an “election denier” or worse. Obviously, the media only believe election security is a concern when Democrats lose. Well, Catherine Engelbrecht believes election integrity matters - regardless of who wins. She’s been an election whistleblower since 2009, when upon hearing rumors of voting irregularities in her district, she volunteered to work on election day and claims she witnessed tremendous violations of lawful procedures. In response, she founded True the Vote, whose mission is to “Restore America’s Confidence in Our Electoral Process . Apparently, this did not sit well with certain politically-weaponized government agencies, because not long after starting the non-profit she was subjected to repeated audits of her businesses - 15 in total. She bravely testified about the political persecution before Congress here. More recently, Engelbrecht teamed up with True the Vote member, Greg Phillips, and political commentator, Dinesh D’Souza, and created the blockbuster documentary, 2000 Mules. Using cell phone geo-tracking data the film alleges that “mules” for the Democratic Party were picking up ballots and running them to multiple drop boxes, which is illegal. Liberal and conservative media largely ignored the film. And some have disputed the assertions in 2000 Mules. However, for many, it only affirmed suspicions that something was deeply wrong with the 2020 election. Engelbrecht recently rankled feathers, once again. This time, a confidential informant showed her evidence that poll worker data was being stored on Chinese servers by Michigan election software company Konnech. When Engelbrecht and Phillips would not divulge the name of the FBI informant, botg were held in contempt of court and imprisoned - something that never happens to whistleblowers of the left-leaning variety. Fortunately, the 5th circuit overruled the lower court and they were both released. If they’re trying to scare Engelbrecht off, it’s not working. After being imprisoned, she says she’s more determined than ever to expose election fraud. You can join her cause to restore faith in America’s elections here.
Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee
If there’s one thing our holier-than-thous elites don’t like, it’s being mocked. Which is why, Seth Dillon’s satirical site, “The Babylon Bee”, is essential reading. The thing is, as any writer knows, writing satire is, well, really hard. But Dillon, and his merry band of irreverent jokesters, make it look easy. Recent headlines by The Babylon Bee like “Journalists Rush To Scene Of Shooting To Determine Whether It's Politically Useful”, “13 Billion Dead After Trump Unbanned From Twitter” and “New Disney CEO Promises To Make Child Grooming Slightly Less Obvious” are out-loud funny. And while some may say The Babylon Bee is just a rip-off of The Onion, the criticism is moot. After all, The Onion stopped being funny long ago, because you can’t mock that which you bend a knee to (ie wokeness). Yet Seth Dillion isn’t just a modern-day Ferris Bueller poppin’ off from the back of the cultural peanut gallery. He’s also an outspoken Christian with unwavering convictions, like being unabashedly pro-life. For example, Dillon stood his ground when Joe Rogan cited the exceedingly-rare-but-the-always-go-to-what-if scenario of someone’s 14 year old daughter being raped. Dillon also showed copious backbone when pre-Musk Twitter banned The Babylon Bee for making the head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, trans woman, Rachel Levine, “Man of the Year”. Twitter, of course, offered Dillon the Faustian bargain they extend to all who run afoul of their capricious “safety” policies: just delete the tweet and The Babylon Bee could be reinstated. Dillon refused, which then caused the formerly dormant tweet about Levine to go viral. Just goes to show, it’s best not to Twitter beef with a wordsmith/comedian. Especially a mocking bee with an iron stinger like Seth Dillon.

That's a more powerful superhero lineup than Avengers Endgame. God bless them all.
Pray for them. Proud of them. Hope they don't ever change
