In 2022, two siblings nobody had heard of started a podcast tour. By 2025, one of them was nominated for Surgeon General.
This isn't an outlier. It's the defining political pattern of the last five years, and it has produced at least a dozen movements you'd recognize.

What the pattern is, why it works, and where it goes next:

Full essay here:

About 6,000 words. The short version: there's a five-part mechanism that explains how Casey and Calley Means, Andrew Tate, Zohran Mamdani, Christopher Rufo, and Jonathan Haidt all broke through using the same engine, and why most of them are also collapsing.malone.news/p/the-compress…

One line from the piece that I keep coming back to: "Most movements that fail to break through don't fail because their messaging is wrong, their messengers are inadequate, or their substantive ideas are unsound. They fail because they have access to none of the five mechanisms and are attempting to clear the floor through organic posting strategies that no longer work at the scale the platforms have reached." The five mechanisms in the essay above.

This is the schedule for my Hawaii speaking tour next week to stop the draconian vaccine mandates being imposed on Hawaiians.
If you live in the state, please consider getting involved to stop this madness.

THE GOVERNOR TRIED TO REMOVE PARENTAL RIGHTS: Last year the Governor attempted to mandate full vaccination for all schoolchildren and eliminate religious exemptions, removing parental rights. The Bill timed out and was a clear warning.

THE THREAT TO PRIVATE PROPERTY: A new Hawaiʻi law gives the Governor emergency power to take control of private property, live stock, or goods without a warrant, and many residents are unaware of it.

The 25 Rules of Disinformation.
#PsyWar . Great stuff.

thetusk.org/Rules-for-Radi…

1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don’t discuss it — especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it’s not reported, it didn’t happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.

2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the “How dare you!” gambit.

3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such “arguable rumors”. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a “wild rumor” which can have no basis in fact.

4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent’s argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “terrorists”, “conspiracy buffs”, “radicals”, “militia”, “racists”, “religious fanatics”, “sexual deviates”, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning — simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent’s viewpoint.

7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could so taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.

8. Invoke authority. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough “jargon” and “minutiae” to illustrate you are “one who knows”, and simply say it isn’t so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.

9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues with denial they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.

10. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with. Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually them be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues — so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.

According to Scripps News and MSM, measles (yes, they are writing of measles) has "no cure." The manipulation and fear promotion by mainstream media and science™ is out of control.

For MSM to say there is "no cure" without an explanation in the title - implies that it is incurable. However, the truth is that fully recoverable in almost all cases with proper care.

This article also states "An alarming 92% of the cases were found in unvaccinated individuals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." - but what the CDC website actually says is: "Vaccination Status: Unvaccinated or Unknown: 92%"
There is a big difference between "unvaccinated" and "Unvaccinated or Unknown."
This is not factual reporting - it is advocacy journalism.

A Revolution in Vaccine Regulation and Approval

The truth behind this letter is stunning. I am embargoed by ACIP membership terms from disclosing what I know about this.
malone.news/p/a-revolution…

We will revise the annual flu vaccine framework, which is an evidence-based catastrophe of low quality evidence, poor surrogate assays, and uncertain vaccine effectiveness measured in case-control studies with poor methods. We will re-appraise safety and be honest in vaccine labels. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on how to do this better.
-Vinay Prasad MD MPH
CBER Director, CMSO US FDA

"I want to outline a path forward. Our general approach in CBER will be to direct vaccine regulation towards evidence based medicine. This means: we will take swift action regarding this new safety concern, we will not be granting marketing authorization to vaccines in pregnant women based on unproven surrogate endpoints (any prior promises will be null and void), and we will demand pre-market randomized trials assessing clinical endpoints for most new products. Pneumonia vaccine makers will have to show their products reduce pneumonia (at least in the post-market setting), and not merely generate antibody titers. Immunogenicity will no longer be used to expand indicated populations-- these populations should be included in premarket RCTs."

My opinion, not speaking on behalf of USG, CDC leadership, or ACIP.

CDC has had decades of mission creep, and has lost focus in core mission. It is now being restructured, redirected and dismantled. The international component is being transferred to the State department. There will be turbulence during this period. The opportunity and gift is for the ACIP to help guide the rebuilding and restructuring towards greater rigor, objectivity, transparency and integrity. But this will take years. In my opinion. And that job will be difficult, contentious and subject to intense criticism.

CDC must have rigorous external peer review and scrutiny. For far too long it has been an insular, self-reinforcing culture prone to chronic and pervasive confirmation bias.

If you want to rebuild a corporate culture, you need a transformative leader, widespread cuts in FTE, followed by a surge of hiring of new FTE that are not caught up in the same cultural biases that you seek to replace.
