"A likely explanation is the extreme effectiveness of organizations. A stupid and corrupt mediocrity at the helm of a powerful organization will always be more effective than a talented individual operating in the world by himself. Because the organization is so effective, it often lulls the mediocre leader into believing that HE is the reason for its success, and he therefore becomes arrogant and smug."
I would disagree with this analysis. I think the answer lies in truths about human nature & human psychology expressed by Lord Acton and the American Founding Fathers. Lord Acton famously noted that: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." The Founding Fathers understood that concentrated power becomes an evil in itself because it ATTRACTS ignoble people who want to exercise power over others (different to the noble impulse to shoulder responsibilties for those one cares for). With this understanding they designed a political experiment based on separation of powers, intentional conflict of interests, checks and balances, and delineated Constitutional restrictions to ensure Limited Government. The complex, highly moral goal was to create stable communities & polities that maximize individual liberty and self-reliance -- the antithesis of highly concentrated power. The engorged monstrosity of our current Federal government of enormous and highly concentrated power would be unrecognizable to them. The executive branch as currently constituted is un-Constitutional by definition (pace the 10th amendment).
Concentrated power, whether one starts out with naive good intentions (e.g.European social welfare states) or tyrannical, totalitarian goals (e.g. every marxist-dominated hellhole) leads inevitably to further concentrations and execution of power, growing ever more attractive to precisely the vile kind of power-mongering psychopathic types we see convening in Davos.
Grounded in both a Biblical & classical understanding of human nature, the historically learned Founding Fathers and Lord Acton knew well of what they spoke.
I like some Semitic peoples, just not the evil Tribe you admire. Who could admire a group that calls itself "Chosen," while leading the majority of most dysgenic and degenerate movements, most often being convicted for the greatest treason's, and expelled by more nations than any other in human existence?
At what point will these people stop trying to destroy the white race, and Christianity by any means necessary, including Convid?
Great article. I can relate to the tyranny present in a highly effective organization. I worked for Johnson & Johnson until their shot mandate brought about our parting of ways. They have one of the most efficient organizations I have ever worked it, top to bottom, with alignment ensured from Headquarters in NJ to all WW operations. It is very cult like. I did not 'grow up' professionally at J&J. I joined them well into my career at a senior level and this is why I noticed. I admired their 'Credo' that is intended to drive this alignment until it violated the wellbeing of the employees with their Covid policies and ultimate mandates. I could not in good conscious, carry out those policies and chose to leave. They are like the Titanic and I sadly I don't expect much to change for them in my lifetime.
The dissolution of personal responsibility in bureaucracies allows for bureaucratic momentum to proceed down evil paths unguided by moral guideposts. While there is "effectiveness" due to interconnected parts transferring an initiative over to other parts of the bureaucracy, there is not "efficaciousness" (the ability to be successful at doing the right thing).
It's a double-edged sword: a simultaneous increase in effectiveness and a decrease in the ability to self-correct.
In a bureaucracy, you keep your job by purposefully not doing too well at it, because over-performing leads to animosity from others who benefit from bureaucracy while coasting. Because responsibility is diffuse, adverse interests can act inside of a bureaucracy to stifle or smother you out.
The dissolution of personal responsibility from arbitrary organization is captured in three words from the Bible, spoken from a man who was possessed by devils:
If our "not a movement" resistance to the jab, the mandates, the medical passports, "no amnesty," the Great Reset, elections manipulation, media monopoly, political & economic corruption, &c. can achieve tremendous victories, save lives, save civilization ... these are undoubtedly the best things we can commit ourselves to. We are still left with a wrecked society of manipulable "swarm" consensus and a culture whose only god is the marketplace.
Carlson is dishonest and not fair-minded. These are the 2 characteristics I value most. If a person is not honest and fair-minded he is worse than useless,
I think that EVERYONE who has received these mRNA shots should band together in class action suits - and sue the hell out of every agency, corporation, and government for intentional reckless endangerment of life and health. And that, whether or not you ever got COVID or were injured by the shot.
"The interests of an economically dominant class never stand naked. They are enshrouded in the flag, fortified by the law, protected by the police, nurtured by the media, taught by the schools, and blessed by the church."
sadly, this type of lawsuit is not possible since pharma (and everyone else involved, from those making it to those giving the jab) are completely free of liability due to both the ongoing 'state of emergency' and the PREP act. it appears that approaching it from the angle of fraud (sounds difficult to do) might be possible.
One of the WEF goals is Depopulation of billions of 'useless' people ie non billionaires presumably. Schwab etc ( King Charles is a member also..) do not hide their psychopathic plans anymore; legal Paedophilia, all pets to be killed, those
E not culled to be made part machine ie theft of the mind/brain of each person 'uploaded' to cloud storage. Social Credit System...These are not harmless crackpots but are a threat to the future of life on this planet. They trained Boris Johnson, Sunak, Trudeau, Ardern and many more in power who do not serve the people of their countries but work for this cabal of psychopaths Depopulating ( the injections are killing tbousands per country at least), forcing totalitarian type laws into place which make even peaceful protest a crime etc. Those injected are now Transhumanist it seems ( Dr Ruby, Stew Peters show etc( with self assembling nano machines seen in the blood plus toxins such as Graphene. Gates is s culling the world with his 'vaccines' - part of the WEF effort. He killed so many people in India ( polio 'vaccines') he was banned from there. Africa also. We know the dangers of the injections but milli9ns of people worldwide are still being injected. When will the global genocide vmbe stopped?
We as humans have a long history of fascism and or totalitarianism from nearly all cultures, governments and institutions. The subject is so vast in terms of time and geography. Hopefully we can devise ways of defeating the cyclical arrival of it once and for all. The individuals who promote this are detectible early on if we know what to look for. There are cultures which have done a better job of rooting out these influences. They destroy from within.
I tried unsuccessfully to get people like Tucker to pay attention to this long ago. But maybe times are finally right.
I don’t think that there’s a way to “… defeat the cyclical arrival…” of it as lust for power, wealth and authority over others is rooted in the baser instincts of human nature. Stopping it when it arises requires an educated, aware, and engaged populace. One reason why, I’m sure, the Founding Fathers neglected to make education one of the enumerated authorities of the federal government.
The big organizations in question are themselves essentially totalitarian in structure. The Roman army is a case in point. Any big corporation will have a rigid top-down command structure. The people who make a career in these structures necessarily have a totalitarian mindset. The CEOs have totalitarian powers but invariably see themselves as benign and principled leaders acting always for the welfare of their subordinates. The Vaxx Totalitarians are just a natural product of today's corporate world.
Conflict and Unification dialectic, the enemy of my enemy is my (temporary) friend? Camraderie in battle can lead to lifelong friendships, but is not often found if the army members are secluded in separate rooms, clicking buttons to kill. But during these temporary allegiences, as many relationships should be forged as possible, that may outlive the next 'divide and conquer' scheme.

Elegantly analyzed, Debra.
I agree. 100%. They think they are their own, and do not believe in God. We see the results every day. Peace.
Excellent
How I look forward to the sacking of Rothschild Castles, the removal of Israel, and the return of a once happy world. Hail Victory.
Bloody antisemite

"We are legion."
Just to be accurate here, these are the words of John Leake, Dr. McCullough's co-author and partner in this substack, not Dr. M himself...
Thanks Alan, I got confused by thinking that the first bold name under the title (along with the icon) was the author.
I fixed it (sorry John).
Thanks for clarifying. I was startled for a moment, thought it was someone else too.
Like Pandora, maybe hope is all we are left with.
If our "not a movement" resistance to the jab, the mandates, the medical passports, "no amnesty," the Great Reset, elections manipulation, media monopoly, political & economic corruption, &c. can achieve tremendous victories, save lives, save civilization ... these are undoubtedly the best things we can commit ourselves to.

But - happily - no Romans !
Look at the organizations HHS bribed to push the jabs and silence truth

Incompetent leaders of powerful organizations are IMO Sock Puppets (Biden) or Super Useful Idiots (Blair). Both serve their temporary purpose.
The sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and “groupthink” pandemic response
On every level
Carlson is dishonest and not fair-minded. These are the 2 characteristics I value most. If a person is not honest and fair-minded he is worse than useless,
Carlson is very smart. Some listeners not smart enough to understand his brilliant commentary.
You mean like Nazi Germany and today's technology fascists?
Nazis are US and its satraps; not so much Germany.

The bastards are not finished with their crime...
One step forward, two steps back. So tired of this. Greed knows no bounds.
The siloed geniuses who were the foundation of the 9/11/2001 atrocities come to mind.

Yes, and also the lack of accountability in many such organizations.
