Will Planet Fitness ‘Go Woke, Go Broke’?

The founder and former CEO of Planet Fitness opens up about the company’s insane woke policies.

Planet Fitness Inc. (NYSE:PLNT) Founder and CEO Mike Grondahl detailed a history of rampant abuse at the company and alleged it misrepresented its financials during a recent interview with controversial right-wing X user Libs of TikTok.

This comes after weeks of calls for boycotts of the brand after the company canceled the membership of a Planet Fitness gym goer after speaking out about a biological male in the women’s locker room.

Virology’s Event Horizon – Executive Summary of a Must-Read Essay

Many of you have read a Farewell To Virology by Dr. Mark Bailey and watched many of Dr. Sam Bailey’s videos.

Mark created Farewell for experts in science and medical researchers. It’s impact has been tremendous; it’s been downloaded over 250,000 times, uploaded to many other websites, translated into several languages and shared with others countless times.

Mark’s latest is a short 7 page essay that zeros in on the fatal flaws in virology.

For your convenience, I’ve created the below Executive Summary, with my comments and emphasis interspersed. I hope you find it valuable as an introduction and study guide.

I encourage everyone to read and share Mark’s full essay, (HERE).

Virology’s Event Horizon – Executive Summary

1. VIRUSES WERE IMAGINED INTO EXISTENCE.

From Mark,

“It remains largely unappreciated that viruses were not discovered and then studied – they were imagined.

“Virology went on to invent itself on the basis of these hypothetical particles:

“… One of the pivotal issues in virology was that it invented itself as a field before establishing if viruses actually existed. It has been trying to justify itself since it’s inception.”

2. LOGICAL FALLACY #1: REIFICATION – THE EMPEROR’S NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHES!

The reification fallacy is “the error of treating something that is not concrete, such as an idea, as a concrete thing.”

Great examples are ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ and an imaginary unicorn. Both are made up, not-real, mythical ideas and not concrete, real things.

Dr. Mark states: this is virology’s “Original Sin.”

3. NO INDEPENDENT VARIABLE HAS EVER BEEN USED TO PROVE VIRUSES EXIST AND CAUSE DISEASE.

Science experiments first require a hypothesis that A causes B.

To conduct the experiment Science must eliminate ALL other potential variables (C,D,E through Z) in order to find the one, unique thing, “A”, that causes an effect, “B”.

This single, distinct, independent thing, “A” is called the Independent Variable.

The independent variable is the isolated focal point that’s assumed, but not proven, to cause a unique, specific effect – which is called the dependent variable, “B”.

From Mark:

“…the scientific method [has] the requirement to generate a hypothesis (that is necessarily falsifiable) and then to test it with experiments.

“The independent variable is the postulated cause of this observation or effect.

“The experiments must possess a dependent variable – the part that is an observation or effect – that depends on an independent variable [to be its cause].”

MM Comment: This has never been done regarding viruses – Ever.

4. EXPERIMENTS REQUIRE A ‘CONTROL’.

Related to viruses Mark explains,

“Two specimens are used, one that is [supposed to be] infected with the virus vector of interest, the other is treated the same way except with out the virus.”

This is to show that the independent variable is the most likely cause of the observed effect.

From Mark:

“Experiments also require a ‘control’, namely the ability to compare variables and conditions in a manner that makes it possible to observe the results when varying *one* factor at a time.”

Mark then states,

“And herein lies the complete downfall of virology and the virus model itself.

“An experiment that follows the scientific method and purports to show the existence of a virus needs to have a valid control to establish that the observed effects are the result of the virus (the claimed independent variable) and not other factors.”

5. LOGICAL FALLACY #2: BEGGING THE QUESTION

This logical fallacy is also referred to as Petitio Principii. It purports to prove a proposition while simultaneously taking the proposition for granted.

Think: Cart Before the Horse.

From Mark,

“The only experiments they can possibly perform must fall back on the prior assertion that viral particles are present in one group and not present in the ‘mock-infected’ group. …this is a logical fallacy.”

Here’s a key point from Mark:

“… The reason the virologists have “neglected” to perform valid cell culture control experiments is because that by definition they are not able to do so.”

Then Mark delivers the sword through the heart of virology:

“Cytopathic Effects (CPEs are the death of cells) are claimed to indicate the presence of viruses but they can only be said to be the observation of cells breaking down in a test well.”

“The CPEs are the dependent variable in the experiment but it is patently clear that no independent variable (a virus) can be discerned in this process.

6. IN SUMMARY

Mark provides these three points in summary:

“a) The particles being declared as viral are seen for the first time as part of the CPE observations, i.e. they are dependent variables. It is preposterous to claim that they are also the independent variable in the same experiment.

“b) The in vitro (laboratory) observations cannot be known to represent any in vivo (within living) process (It is beyond what the virologists’ cell culture technique can determine).

“c) The techniques involved in electron microscopy introduced further variables that are not controlled in addition to technical artifact and the further limitation that they are static structures embedded in resin, not living tissue.”

“The attempts to support the virus model through scientific methods have clearly failed and the imagined viruses have no known existence outside of logical fallacies and pseudo scientific claims.”

MM FINAL COMMENTS:

I urge everyone to read this paper thoroughly and especially to read through all of the references and notes. In particular I would suggest you pay close attention to the following notes: 15, 17, 18 and especially 20.

This essay, if widely shared, will greatly contribute to the end of the public’s blind belief in the virus and contagion myths – and thus can eliminate the root cause of the tyrannical oppression we all have recently suffered.

Please share widely.

The Fed: America’s Boom & Bust Machine

Here’s Mises Institute President Tom DiLorenzo with his latest article in the April 2024 edition of The New American:

The Fed employs an army of academics who essentially serve as its publicists and propagandists. Professor Lawrence H. White published a 2005 article at Econ Journal Watch, an online academic journal, in which he noted that the Fed directly employed 495 full-time economists at the time, engaged 120 “leading academic economists” as paid consultants or visiting scholars, and brought more than 300 academic economists to its conferences each year. (Economist Murray N. Rothbard once quipped that your average academic monetary economist “would stab his mother to death with a fork for an invitation to a Fed conference”!)

The Renato Moicano Effect on Austrian Economics

After his victory last night UFC fighter Renato Moicano grabbed the mic from announcer Joe Rogan and said, among other things, “If you care about your . . . country read Ludwig von Mises.”  As of around 5 PM EST today The Theory of Money and Credit (Skyhorse Publishing edition) by Mises was ranked #1 in sales of all books on Amazon on monetary economics; #1 of all books on international economics; and #2 of all books on economic theory.

von Mises goes viral

By now you may be aware of Brazilian fighter Renato Moicano going all fiery on promoting the ideas of Ludwig von Mises and Austrian Economics following his latest victory on April 13th. Since that speech went viral on social media our Mises Institute website is exploding with Mises book downloads, and three Mises books just hit the top ten in Economics on Amazon. This is a huge opportunity for the Mises Institute and the promotion of free-markets and Austrian Economics.

Most people are only posting the abbreviated speech from Renato. Below I am posting the longer conversation with Joe Rogan (almost 2 minutes).

Root of All Evil

That’s the subtitle of Frank Chodorov’s classic, The Income Tax: Root of All Evil.  Among the evils that he discusses are:

  • Enabling government to put its hands in everyone’s pockets.
  • Drawing the public’s allegiance away from its local governments to Washington, D.C.
  • Causing citizens to have less control over faraway federal representatives.
  • Making citizens subject to the whims of federal politicians.
  • Causing state governments to lose their autonomy.
  • Causing state governments to become subservient to Washington, not their citizens.
  • Enabling the federal government to bribe and threaten state governments, forcing them to bend to its will.
  • All of this was the final nail in the coffin of federalism and the establishment of centralized, monopolistic government.
  • Turned Americans into slaves of the state.  As Chodorov wrote, the income tax amendment effectively said:  “Your earnings are not exclusively your own.  We will allow you to keep some of it, because we recognize your need, but not your right; but whatever we grant you for yourself is for us to decide . . . .  The amount of your earnings that you may retain for yourself is determined by the needs of the government, and you have nothing to say about it.”

Beyond Oppenheimer: Early Cold War Background Sources

This comprehensive article references dozens of books, articles, and documentaries on the early Cold War, including the arrest, trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. What was the role of Ethel’s brother, David Greenglass in these pivotal events? And what about the role of Theodore (Ted) Hall and the Venona transcripts of decoded espionage messages to the Soviets?

With the notoriety and interest spurred on by the movie Oppenheimer, America’s Untold Stories has tackled the story of David Greenglass, brother of Ethel Rosenberg, who along with her husband Julius, were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union, including providing top-secret information about American radar, sonar, jet propulsion engines, and nuclear weapon designs.

According to a 2001 book by his former handler Alexander Feklisov, Rosenberg was originally recruited to spy for the interior ministry of the Soviet Union, NKVD, on Labor Day 1942 by a former spymaster, Semyon Semyonov.

Attorney Robert Barnes: Did OJ Simpson Really Do It?

Not only is Robert Barnes a master litigator and top-notch attorney but one of the most in depth, articulate, well read and street-smart experienced political analysts in the nation. Whether it involves the institutionalized criminal machine cartels of the Democrats and Republicans or the deep state, he is a true polymath reminiscent of Murray N. Rothbard in his power elite analysis of Realpolitik.

This weekend in Las Vegas there is a massive celebratory event with enthusiastic people and well-wishers gathered from across the country to commemorate Robert Barnes 50th birthday and help raise funds for the 1776 Law Center.

The Final Pandemic: An Antidote To Medical Tyranny, Dr Mark Bailey Interview, Part Two

This is Part Two of Dr Mark Bailey being interviewed by Paul Hellier about the new book, The Final Pandemic: An Antidote To Medical Tyranny , written by Mark and his wife, Dr Sam Bailey.

In Part Two they discuss censorship and the changing world of media lies and how more people are seeking out information to arm themselves with better ways to be healthy and avoid further control by establishment medicine.

They dissect Germ Theory, Alleged “Viruses,” Diagnostic Tests, and “Treatments”  as well “Drugs” and “Vaccines.”

Importantly they discuss how these have developed into a public belief system that’s not only counterproductive to health but is frequently life shortening and even immediately deadly.

The Final Pandemic  simply and succinctly helps people understand the Contagion Myth we all were brought up to believe – and why there’s no reason the fear “death-dealing ‘germs.

This interview will help people realize there’s no need to live in fear or participate in these man-made “crises” – ever again.

Listen to it HERE (48min)

Part One is HERE and their new book is HERE.

Highly Recommended.

re: Shame on Southern Baptist Leaders

Yes Laurence, shame on Southern Baptist “leaders” for urging the House speaker to send more bullets, guns, and bombs to Ukraine so that they can kill more Russian Christians.  According to a Pew Research Center poll, as many as 71 percent of Russians are Christians.  And, the Ukrainian government has banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Southern Baptist “leaders” are religious frauds.

Can You “Catch” A Cold?

The World is quickly learning that we don’t “catch” diseases.

In 2020 with the onset of the COVID-19 era, Daniel Roytas started questioning much of what he thought were scientific facts and embarked on a new phase of private research.

He launched the Humanley platform and has featured discussions with many of the world’s foremost heterodox thinkers in health and science.

As part of this journey he has just published an incredible new book titled “Can You Catch A Cold?“.

It is the culmination of several years of focussed research and takes its place as the most comprehensive account of human contagion experiments ever seen.

This one-of-a-kind book is a must read and reveals many of the buried and inconvenient clinical experiments that go against germ theory and the mainstream claims.
