The C Word

  

Dr. Robert Malone from what I've seen thus far is pretty much a Berensonian -- which, in a nutshell, may be defined as someone who has become concerned with the discrepancies (cough, cough) of the Covid Narrative and demonstrates a growing informed awareness of them, yet for all that, can't seem to bring himself to even entertain the idea that there is in fact an international conspiracy afoot.

So in a recent Diana West article, she posted a screen shot of a recent Malone tweet where he says:

We see in that short quote from Twitter, Malone describing a situation -- and there exists a veritable mountain of other suspicious red flags that have happened throughout the West (Alex Berenson is a good source for that bewilderingly diverse mountain, even though he, like Malone, steadfastly & stubbornly & strangely resists going there, to the dreaded C word Conspiracy) -- yet averring it is "not a conspiracy theory".  

And rather than a "conspiracy theory" (Heaven forbid), we have, according to Malone, a "fact" -- as if those two are mutually exclusive.  Not only are they not mutually exclusive, Malone is also committing a category error here: a conspiracy theory, like any theory (e.g., Evolution Theory) is not a fact -- it is an interpretation or interpretive model based upon a collection of facts.  So what Malone reported constitutes a set of facts about the Mainstream's treatment of doctors who dare to step outside the Reservation and in various ways question the Narrative.  That delimited set of facts is not all that the Mainstream is doing that should raise our suspicions; as I said, there is a mountain of other facts that have transpired over the past 18 months throughout the West emanating from various parts of the Mainstream (which has become more or less equivalent to the Covid-Industrial Complex) to which we would add Malone's facts -- and from there try to construct a theory that would adequately explain them and their complex inter-relations which, broadly speaking, would try to find answers to the following questions:  

Who is behind this international welter -- that is operating in near-lock-step -- of irrational, often incoherent, seemingly corrupt with overtones of  fascistic policies?

Why are they behaving this way?

What is their ultimate goal?

Is it a conspiracy properly speaking?  If not, what other explanation would adequately explain their behaviors these past 18 months?

If it is a conspiracy, was it planned long in advance?

And so forth.  But Malone, like Berenson, not only seems strangely indifferent to such questions, he seems actively opposed to entertaining them if they lead to that horrible intellectual crime of a (wrinkle nose in disgust) conspiracy theory.
