Want to take over a country? No need to subvert the military and stage a coup. No need to convince people to vote for you. Just insinuate yourself into schools of education, journalism, and communication, and wait a generation. Then the teachers you indoctrinated, and the journalists and media guys you trained, will influence young people to accept the rubbish you feed them.

The American Medical Association used to be a conservative organization of physicians in practice. Now it’s a leftist, woke, pro-trans organization. The American Psychiatric Organization, the American Psychological Association, the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, have all been taken over by leftists.

The same is true for the formerly scientific journals they publish, from the New England Journal of Medicine on down – or up, depending on your point of view. The current issue of NEJM asserts that mutilating surgery and medication of children and adolescents is “essential gender-affirming care.”

So when “scientific” journals claim that gender-changing therapy causes fewer suicides, not more, can we believe them? And when “scientists” claim that the current flood of hospitalized children is caused by Covid-19, and not by other viruses like RSV, can we believe them? They caused kids to wear soggy, dirty cloths over their faces, and cooped them up indoors. Would they admit that their actions may be harming kids? No, they’re “experts” – often wrong but never in doubt.

Stalin became interested in the fake biological theories of Lysenko. As a result, grain harvests were reduced and Russians stood in line for bread. Despite his obvious failures, Lysenko remained in power until Stalin died. “Official scientist” is a contradiction in terms, an oxymoron. To real scientists, Lysenko is a warning. To would-be tyrants, he is a role model. Can you think of anyone in government today who resembles Lysenko?
