October 2 , 2020 , President Donald Trump announced he and First Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 .
Both reported having mild symptoms .
According to a report1 by Science Magazine , the President was transferred to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda , Maryland , that same day .
His symptoms included fever , fatigue and congestion .

During the second phase, hyperinflammatory immune responses become apparent. At this stage, the FLCCC’s MATH+ protocol, which has been delivered to the White House on at least four occasions, calls for the administration of intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone (a steroid) to suppress the immune system and dampen cytokine storm, IV ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and subcutaneous heparin to prevent blood clots.
Optional additions include thiamine, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium and famotidine. In addition to these medications, the protocol calls for high-flow nasal oxygen to avoid mechanical ventilation.
Together, this approach addresses the three core pathological processes seen in COVID-19, namely hyperinflammation, hypercoagulability of the blood, and hypoxia (shortness of breath due to low oxygenation). The graphic below details the two stages of disease, and the FLCCC’s suggested treatment focus for each.
President’s Treatment Protocol
The President’s treatment protocol has reportedly included the following.6,7,8,9,10 As you can see, while there are certain similarities to the MATH+ protocol, there are also distinct differences:
Remdesivir is an experimental antiviral drug from Gilead Sciences that has been granted emergency authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The IV drug, which is supposed to be used for late-stage severe COVID-19 infection, has been shown to cause severe side effects in 60% of patients, and doesn’t reduce the death rate. It merely reduces the recovery rate by an average of 31%, or four days.11
REGN-COV2 is an experimental monoclonal antibody cocktail made by Regeneron that has been described12 as “genetically engineered plasma” and a “passive vaccine.” The president apparently received an 8-gram infusion, which is a considerably larger dose than the 2.4-gram dose shown to reduce SARS-CoV-2 levels.

Dexamethasone, a steroid used to prevent immune system overreaction. Some doctors question14 the use of this drug, as it’s typically been reserved for patients with late stage disease. On the other hand, the FLCCC has noted that dexamethasone is a less effective option than the methylprednisolone recommended in the MATH+ protocol.15
Vitamin D
Zinc — As explained in “Swiss Protocol for COVID — Quercetin and Zinc” and “Zinc Is Key to HCQ Protocol,” zinc plays a crucial role in immunity and blood clotting, and effectively inhibits viral replication. Unfortunately, zinc is poorly absorbed, which appears to be why protocols using it together with zinc ionophores such as quercetin or hydroxychloroquine, which usher zinc into your cells, are so effective.
Famotidine (brand name Pepcid), an antacid drug included as an optional addition in the MATH+ protocol,16 has antiviral properties and stimulates the immune cells of your innate and adaptive immune system. In one COVID-19 study, famotidine given within 24 hours of hospital admission was found to reduce the risk for death and intubation.17
Melatonin — As detailed in “Melatonin for Sepsis,” melatonin plays an important role in your immune function, has antioxidant and mitochondrial-protective functions, and has been shown to be effective against various bacterial and viral infections.
It’s also been shown to reverse septic shock symptoms by decreasing synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines and preventing oxidative damage, endotoxemia and metabolic alterations.

Aspirin
Is the President Being Overtreated?
As mentioned, some health practitioners have questioned whether the President might be receiving excessive care. The use of the steroid dexamethasone, which would typically be reserved for severe cases, appears to rattle critics the most. Few if any have brought up the mediocre trial results of remdesivir, or the fact that this drug is also for late-stage disease.
According to the FLCCC, COVID-19 is a steroid-responsive disease, and steroids are a key component of Phase 2 treatment. That said, it may be true that Walter Reed doctors jumped the gun in prescribing these drugs if, indeed, the president only had mild symptoms. Alternatively, perhaps the president’s illness was more severe than has been reported.

He clearly suffers from insulin resistance based on his weight, high blood pressure and eating habits.
The president’s physician, Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley who, like me, is a D.O. or osteopathic physician, told reporters during an October 3, 2020, press conference that his team was using a “multiprong” approach to treat the president. He also mentioned President Trump had asked about hydroxychloroquine, but that he had not been given the drug for unspecified reasons. According to Conley:19
“[President Trump] is receiving all of the standard of care and beyond for routine, international COVID protocols. He’s the president. I didn’t want to hold anything back. If there was any possibility that it would add value to his care and expedite his return, I wanted to take it.”
Sadly, but not surprisingly, despite the now overwhelming evidence supporting the use of vitamin D, most media have reverted back to pushing the idea that vitamin D is useless.

The MATH+ Protocol
As mentioned, President Trump’s treatment protocol includes some of the remedies specified in the FLCCC’s MATH+ protocol, but not all. His treatment also appears to have been more aggressive than typically prescribed, with the early administration of both a steroid and remdesivir.
It’s somewhat disappointing to see the full MATH+ protocol was not followed, considering the FLCCC has shared the protocol with the White House on several occasions. In a short essay20 co-written by the entire FLCCC team, they express their conviction that the MATH+ protocol is one of the best, most effective, critical care protocols for COVID-19 to date.
The latest version of the MATH+ protocol, which was briefly summarized above, is detailed in “Quercetin and Vitamin C: Synergistic Therapy for COVID-19.” As the headline reveals, that article also reviews some of the latest research supporting the use of quercetin, which acts in a similar manner as hydroxychloroquine.
Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide — A Highly Effective Home Remedy

In my view, the President’s medical team overlooked (and probably weren’t even aware of) one of the most effective treatment options, namely nebulized hydrogen peroxide. This is a home remedy I recommend everyone familiarize themselves with, as in many cases it can improve symptoms within mere hours. It is particularly effective in those who are in the later stages of the illness.
Nebulized hydrogen peroxide is extremely safe, and can be administered at home without a prescription. In my view, it is one of the absolute best therapies for viral infections like SARS-CoV-2 or even worse respiratory viruses that will likely be unleashed in the future.
Dr. David Brownstein, who has successfully treated over 100 COVID-19 patients with nebulized hydrogen peroxide, published a case paper21 about this treatment in the July 2020 issue of Science, Public Health Policy and The Law. He also discusses its benefits in a recent interview I did with him.
In my April 2020 article, “Could Hydrogen Peroxide Treat Coronavirus?” I reviewed some of the basic science of how hydrogen peroxide works, as well as some of the studies assessing its therapeutic potential.

It is important to acquire the equipment and peroxide BEFORE you need it, as the sooner you treat the infection the better your results will be, although the testimonials are unbelievably impressive even in late stage illness. It is not necessary to treat yourself preventively, but only if you are sick or exposed to someone who is.
While I’ve been using a 0.1% dilution, Brownstein uses an even lower concentration of just 0.04%. Neither Brownstein nor I recommend using commercial 3% hydrogen peroxide found in most grocery stores, as it has potentially toxic chemical stabilizers in it. For optimal benefits, use food-grade peroxide and dilute it appropriately, using saline.
To dilute 35% food-grade peroxide into a 0.04% solution, first dilute it down to 3% by mixing 1 part peroxide with 10 parts sterile water, then take 3 cubic centimeters (CCs) of that 3% dilution and add it to a 250CC bag of normal saline. This brings it down to a .04% hydrogen peroxide concentration. In the video above, I go over the basics of how to do nebulized peroxide.

“ Liberty , then , is the sovereignty of the individual , and never shall man know liberty until each and every individual is acknowledged to be the only legitimate sovereign of his or her person , time , and property , each living and acting at his own cost.

Any claimed authority is illegitimate if it is not voluntary , and therefore administered by force .
That means that all government authority is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with that governance , and also has the ability to throw it aside , and leave at any time of his choosing .
We have never lived under a system that allowed real freedom in this country .
In order for freedom to exist , it is up to the people at large to ensure that no government has enough power to infringe on the liberty of any individual citizen .
Obviously , the people have failed miserably in any effort to secure individual independence , as every aspect of life in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , monitored , and controlled by a government claiming to be sovereign over the individual , and all of this is enforced by brutal and violent means .
In order for people to wake up to their own servitude , and care enough to take risk to change , they have to have enough individual incentive to seek that on their own .
That is not evident yet , and because people still clamor to be led instead of ruling self , the situation is worsening at every juncture .
The most telling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total compliance by the general population of mandated mask wearing and social distancing .
By acquiescing to these orders handed down by the political class , it is apparent that the masses are nothing more than slaves , and are either totally indifferent or ignorant of any reality concerning their own well-being or any natural desire for freedom .
When people en masse are willing to take orders from a controlling force called government , then they become the greatest threat to the whole , which means they are the greatest threat to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this in logical terms should scare the living daylights out of any sane person .
How can a country that claims to be the most free on earth , a country of well over 300 million people , give up everything they have worked for and gained in life , everything they hold dear , and cower and hide in the shadows hoping that they will be granted by their masters a partial return to normalcy if they do as they are told ?
They do this because they have been fooled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack and kill them all .
Never mind that there are no additional deaths , there is no pandemic , and that no so-called virus has ever been found to exist .
It has never been isolated or separated , never been identified , and never satisfied Koch ’ s Postulates to prove that it is even real .
How could so many be fooled by a lie so obvious ?
Is this simply because of what the master propagandists claim when they say the bigger the lie , the more that will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that so many have become dependent on others telling them what to do and how to live for so long that they no longer have any desire or ability to question false authority ?
No Treason : The Consti ... Lysander Spooner Best Price : $ 6.99 Buy New $ 7.49 Mask wearing and social distancing are nothing more than compliance tests used by the controlling ‘ elite ’ to see how weak and pathetic this population has become .
This was necessary in order to find out if this country was ready @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oligarchs in power .
All indications are that the America of the past has come and gone , and all that is left is a once dynamic and strong land now filled with mindless and obtuse citizens with robotic personalities waiting for their next order .

“ Sovereignty is not given , it is taken.
” The Best of Gary D. Barnett

“Liberty, then, is the sovereignty of the individual, and never shall man know liberty until each and every individual is acknowledged to be the only legitimate sovereign of his or her person, time, and property, each living and acting at his own cost.”
~ Josiah Warren, “Equitable Commerce”. Book by Josiah Warren, 1848.
The essence of freedom is based on individual sovereignty, while the essence of servitude is based on compliance and obedience to false authority. Any claimed authority is illegitimate if it is not voluntary, and therefore administered by force. That means that all government authority is improper unless each and every individual agrees with that governance, and also has the ability to throw it aside, and leave at any time of his choosing. We have never lived under a system that allowed real freedom in this country.
In order for freedom to exist, it is up to the people at large to ensure that no government has enough power to infringe on the liberty of any individual citizen. Obviously, the people have failed miserably in any effort to secure individual independence, as every aspect of life in the United States is now surveilled, regulated, monitored, and controlled by a government claiming to be sovereign over the individual, and all of this is enforced by brutal and violent means. In order for people to wake up to their own servitude, and care enough to take risk to change, they have to have enough individual incentive to seek that on their own. That is not evident yet, and because people still clamor to be led instead of ruling self, the situation is worsening at every juncture.
The most telling aspect of this phenomenon is the near total compliance by the general population of mandated mask wearing and social distancing. By acquiescing to these orders handed down by the political class, it is apparent that the masses are nothing more than slaves, and are either totally indifferent or ignorant of any reality concerning their own well-being or any natural desire for freedom. When people en masse are willing to take orders from a controlling force called government, then they become the greatest threat to the whole, which means they are the greatest threat to the individual sovereignty of all.
Thinking of this in logical terms should scare the living daylights out of any sane person. How can a country that claims to be the most free on earth, a country of well over 300 million people, give up everything they have worked for and gained in life, everything they hold dear, and cower and hide in the shadows hoping that they will be granted by their masters a partial return to normalcy if they do as they are told? They do this because they have been fooled into believing that a common flu will attack and kill them all. Never mind that there are no additional deaths, there is no pandemic, and that no so-called virus has ever been found to exist. It has never been isolated or separated, never been identified, and never satisfied Koch’s Postulates to prove that it is even real. How could so many be fooled by a lie so obvious? Is this simply because of what the master propagandists claim when they say the bigger the lie, the more that will believe it? Or is it just that so many have become dependent on others telling them what to do and how to live for so long that they no longer have any desire or ability to question false authority?

Mask wearing and social distancing are nothing more than compliance tests used by the controlling ‘elite’ to see how weak and pathetic this population has become. This was necessary in order to find out if this country was ready to be taken over by the few oligarchs in power. All indications are that the America of the past has come and gone, and all that is left is a once dynamic and strong land now filled with mindless and obtuse citizens with robotic personalities waiting for their next order. As I wrote recently:
“Forced mask wearing due to political control over people is a major aspect of the tyrannical response to this fraudulent virus ‘pandemic.’ Social distancing, forced testing, quarantines, mandated business closings, temperature checks, mass surveillance, and any number of other atrocious invasions of privacy are all demeaning and oppressive, but the state and local orders supported by the national political and ‘health’ organizations to wear masks, is especially instructive of the real agenda sought.

Their ability to love and care for others is diminished, and their compassion for friends and family disappears in an effort to attain what they falsely believe to be self-preservation.

The ruling class fully understands this dynamic, and has used it to gain an advantageous position of power over the entire country. We are in the midst of a coup that is turning one against another, and all against all. The people themselves are being used to destroy each other, and all those that comply with the state’s directives to hide their faces with a mask, to eliminate expression, and to isolate themselves from friends and family, are not only destroying their own lives, but are a great risk to all others.

lewrockwell--2020-10-14--The 2020 Election Bamboozle: We Are All Victims of the Deep State’s Con Game

This is not an election .
This is a con game , a scam , a grift , a hustle , a bunko , a swindle , a flimflam , a gaffle , and a bamboozle .
In this carefully choreographed scheme to strip the American citizenry of our power and our rights , “ we the people ” are nothing more than marks , suckers , stooges , mugs , rubes , or gulls .
We are victims of the Deep State ’ s confidence game .

In this particular con game , every candidate dangled before us as some form of political savior—including Donald Trump and Joe Biden—is part of a long-running , elaborate scam intended to persuade us that , despite all appearances to the contrary , we live in a constitutional republic .
In this way , the voters are the dupes , the candidates are the shills , and as usual , it ’ s the Deep State rigging the outcome .
Terrorist attacks , pandemics , civil unrest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ add to the sense of urgency and help us feel invested in the outcome of the various elections , but it doesn ’ t change much in the long term .
No matter who wins this election , we ’ ll all still be prisoners of the Deep State .
We just haven ’ t learned to recognize our prison walls as such .
It ’ s like that old British television series The Prisoner , which takes place in a mysterious , self-contained , cosmopolitan , seemingly idyllic retirement community known only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visual debate ever on individuality and freedom , The Prisoner ( 17 episodes in all ) centers around a British secret agent who abruptly resigns only to find himself imprisoned , monitored by militarized drones , and interrogated in The Village , a beautiful resort with parks and green fields , recreational activities and even a butler .
Battlefield America : T ... John W. Whitehead Best Price : $ 10.95 Buy New $ 18.80 While luxurious , the Village is a virtual prison disguised as a seaside paradise : its inhabitants have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave the Village , they are under constant surveillance , all of their movements tracked .
Residents of the Village are stripped of their individuality and identified only by numbers .
First broadcast in Great Britain 50-some years ago , The Prisoner dystopian television series —described as “ James Bond meets George Orwell filtered through Franz Kafka ” —confronted societal themes that are still relevant today : the rise of a police state , the loss of freedom , round-the-clock surveillance , the corruption of government , totalitarianism , weaponization , group think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of human beings to meekly accept their lot in life as prisoners in a prison of their own making .
The series ’ protagonist , played by Patrick McGoohan is Number Six .
Number Two , the Village administrator , acts as an agent for the unseen and all-powerful Number One , whose identity is not revealed until the final episode .
“ I am not a number .
I am a free man , ” was the mantra chanted on each episode of The Prisoner , which was largely written and directed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the title role .
In the opening episode ( “ The Arrival ” ) , Number Six meets Number Two , who explains to him that he is in The Village because information stored “ inside ” his head has made him too valuable to be allowed to roam free “ outside.
” Throughout the series , Number Six is subjected to interrogation tactics , torture , hallucinogenic drugs , identity theft , mind control , dream manipulation , and various forms of social indoctrination and physical coercion in order to “ persuade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , give in and subjugate himself to the will of the powers-that-be .
New York Hi-Viz Workwe ... Buy New $ 51.84 In every episode , Number Six resists the Village ’ s indoctrination methods , struggles to maintain his own identity , and attempts to escape his captors .
“ I will not make any deals with you , ” he pointedly remarks to Number Two .
“ I ’ ve resigned .
I will not be pushed , filed , stamped , indexed , debriefed or numbered .
My life is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far Number Six manages to get in his efforts to escape , it ’ s never far enough .
Watched by surveillance cameras and other devices , Number Six ’ s attempts to escape are continuously thwarted by ominous white balloon-like spheres known as “ rovers.
” Still , he refuses to give up .
“ Unlike me , ” he says to his fellow prisoners , “ many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment , and will die here like rotten cabbages.
” Number Six ’ s escapes become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ episode an unfunny , unsettling Groundhog ’ s Day that builds to the same frustrating denouement : there is no escape .
As journalist Scott Thill concludes for Wired , “ Rebellion always comes at a price .
During the acclaimed run of The Prisoner , Number Six is tortured , battered and even body-snatched : In the episode ‘ Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling , ’ his mind is transplanted to another man ’ s body .
Number Six repeatedly escapes The Village only to be returned to it in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , overcome by a restless energy he can not expend , and betrayed by nearly everyone around him.
” The series is a chilling lesson about how difficult it is to gain one ’ s freedom in a society in which prison walls are disguised within the seemingly benevolent trappings of technological and scientific progress , national security and the need to guard against terrorists , pandemics , civil unrest , etc .
ARCTIX Women ’ s E ... Buy New $ 34.95 As Thill noted , “ The Prisoner was an allegory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peace and freedom in a dystopia masquerading as a utopia.
” The Prisoner ’ s Village is also an apt allegory for the American Police State : it gives the illusion of freedom while functioning all the while like a prison : controlled , watchful , inflexible , punitive , deadly and inescapable .
The American Police State , much like The Prisoner ’ s Village , is a metaphorical panopticon , a circular prison in which the inmates are monitored by a single watchman situated in a central tower .
Because the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are unable to tell whether or not they are being watched at any given time and must proceed under the assumption that they are always being watched .
Eighteenth century social theorist Jeremy Bentham envisioned the panopticon prison to be a cheaper and more effective means of “ obtaining power of mind over mind , in a quantity hitherto without example.
” Bentham ’ s panopticon , in which the prisoners are used as a source of cheap , menial labor , has become a model for the modern surveillance state in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , controlled and managed by the powers-that-be while funding its existence .
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide : this is the new mantra of the architects of the Deep State and their corporate collaborators ( Facebook , Amazon , Netflix , Google , Instagram , etc. )
.
They see your every move : what you read , how much you spend , where you go , with whom you interact , when you wake up in the morning , what you ’ re watching on television and reading on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being monitored , mined for data , crunched , and tabulated in order to amass a profile of who you are , what makes you tick , and how best to control you when and if it becomes necessary to bring you in line .
MOERDENG Men ’ s W ... Buy New $ 79.99 When the government sees all and knows all and has an abundance of laws to render even the most seemingly upstanding citizen a criminal and lawbreaker , then the old adage that you ’ ve got nothing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing to hide no longer applies .
Apart from the obvious dangers posed by a government that feels justified and empowered to spy on its people and use its ever-expanding arsenal of weapons and technology to monitor and control them , we ’ re approaching a time in which we will be forced to choose between obeying the dictates of the government—i.e.
, the law , or whatever a government official deems the law to be—and maintaining our individuality , integrity and independence .
When people talk about privacy , they mistakenly assume @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behind a wall or under one ’ s clothing .
The courts have fostered this misunderstanding with their constantly shifting delineation of what constitutes an “ expectation of privacy.
” And technology has furthered muddied the waters .

“We’re run by the Pentagon, we’re run by Madison Avenue, we’re run by television, and as long as we accept those things and don’t revolt we’ll have to go along with the stream to the eventual avalanche…. As long as we go out and buy stuff, we’re at their mercy… We all live in a little Village. Your Village may be different from other people’s Villages, but we are all prisoners.”— Patrick McGoohan
This is not an election.
This is a con game, a scam, a grift, a hustle, a bunko, a swindle, a flimflam, a gaffle, and a bamboozle.
In this carefully choreographed scheme to strip the American citizenry of our power and our rights, “we the people” are nothing more than marks, suckers, stooges, mugs, rubes, or gulls.

Every confidence game has six essential stages: 1) the foundation to lay the groundwork for the illusion; 2) the approach whereby the victim is contacted; 3) the build-up to make the victim feel like they’ve got a vested interest in the outcome; 4) the corroboration (aided by third-party conspirators) to legitimize that the scammers are, in fact, on the up-and-up; 5) the pay-off, in which the victim gets to experience some small early “wins”; and 6) the “hurrah”— a sudden manufactured crisis or change of events that creates a sense of urgency.
In this particular con game, every candidate dangled before us as some form of political savior—including Donald Trump and Joe Biden—is part of a long-running, elaborate scam intended to persuade us that, despite all appearances to the contrary, we live in a constitutional republic.
In this way, the voters are the dupes, the candidates are the shills, and as usual, it’s the Deep State rigging the outcome.
Terrorist attacks, pandemics, civil unrest: these are all manipulated crises that add to the sense of urgency and help us feel invested in the outcome of the various elections, but it doesn’t change much in the long term.
No matter who wins this election, we’ll all still be prisoners of the Deep State.
We just haven’t learned to recognize our prison walls as such.
It’s like that old British television series The Prisoner, which takes place in a mysterious, self-contained, cosmopolitan, seemingly idyllic retirement community known only as The Village.
Perhaps the best visual debate ever on individuality and freedom, The Prisoner (17 episodes in all) centers around a British secret agent who abruptly resigns only to find himself imprisoned, monitored by militarized drones, and interrogated in The Village, a beautiful resort with parks and green fields, recreational activities and even a butler.

While luxurious, the Village is a virtual prison disguised as a seaside paradise: its inhabitants have no true freedom, they cannot leave the Village, they are under constant surveillance, all of their movements tracked. Residents of the Village are stripped of their individuality and identified only by numbers.
First broadcast in Great Britain 50-some years ago, The Prisoner dystopian television series —described as “James Bond meets George Orwell filtered through Franz Kafka”—confronted societal themes that are still relevant today: the rise of a police state, the loss of freedom, round-the-clock surveillance, the corruption of government, totalitarianism, weaponization, group think, mass marketing, and the tendency of human beings to meekly accept their lot in life as prisoners in a prison of their own making.
The series’ protagonist, played by Patrick McGoohan is Number Six.
Number Two, the Village administrator, acts as an agent for the unseen and all-powerful Number One, whose identity is not revealed until the final episode.
“I am not a number. I am a free man,” was the mantra chanted on each episode of The Prisoner, which was largely written and directed by Patrick McGoohan, who also played the title role.
In the opening episode (“The Arrival”), Number Six meets Number Two, who explains to him that he is in The Village because information stored “inside” his head has made him too valuable to be allowed to roam free “outside.”
Throughout the series, Number Six is subjected to interrogation tactics, torture, hallucinogenic drugs, identity theft, mind control, dream manipulation, and various forms of social indoctrination and physical coercion in order to “persuade” him to comply, give up, give in and subjugate himself to the will of the powers-that-be. New York Hi-Viz Workwe... Buy New $51.84 (as of 05:31 UTC - Details)
Number Six refuses to comply.
In every episode, Number Six resists the Village’s indoctrination methods, struggles to maintain his own identity, and attempts to escape his captors. “I will not make any deals with you,” he pointedly remarks to Number Two. “I’ve resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.”
Yet no matter how far Number Six manages to get in his efforts to escape, it’s never far enough.
Watched by surveillance cameras and other devices, Number Six’s attempts to escape are continuously thwarted by ominous white balloon-like spheres known as “rovers.” Still, he refuses to give up. “Unlike me,” he says to his fellow prisoners, “many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment, and will die here like rotten cabbages.”
Number Six’s escapes become a surreal exercise in futility, each episode an unfunny, unsettling Groundhog’s Day that builds to the same frustrating denouement: there is no escape.
As journalist Scott Thill concludes for Wired, “Rebellion always comes at a price. During the acclaimed run of The Prisoner, Number Six is tortured, battered and even body-snatched: In the episode ‘Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling,’ his mind is transplanted to another man’s body. Number Six repeatedly escapes The Village only to be returned to it in the end, trapped like an animal, overcome by a restless energy he cannot expend, and betrayed by nearly everyone around him.”
The series is a chilling lesson about how difficult it is to gain one’s freedom in a society in which prison walls are disguised within the seemingly benevolent trappings of technological and scientific progress, national security and the need to guard against terrorists, pandemics, civil unrest, etc. ARCTIX Women’s E...

As Thill noted, “The Prisoner was an allegory of the individual, aiming to find peace and freedom in a dystopia masquerading as a utopia.”
The Prisoner’s Village is also an apt allegory for the American Police State: it gives the illusion of freedom while functioning all the while like a prison: controlled, watchful, inflexible, punitive, deadly and inescapable.
The American Police State, much like The Prisoner’s Village, is a metaphorical panopticon, a circular prison in which the inmates are monitored by a single watchman situated in a central tower. Because the inmates cannot see the watchman, they are unable to tell whether or not they are being watched at any given time and must proceed under the assumption that they are always being watched.
Eighteenth century social theorist Jeremy Bentham envisioned the panopticon prison to be a cheaper and more effective means of “obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example.”
Bentham’s panopticon, in which the prisoners are used as a source of cheap, menial labor, has become a model for the modern surveillance state in which the populace is constantly being watched, controlled and managed by the powers-that-be while funding its existence.
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide: this is the new mantra of the architects of the Deep State and their corporate collaborators (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Instagram, etc.).
Government eyes are watching you.
They see your every move: what you read, how much you spend, where you go, with whom you interact, when you wake up in the morning, what you’re watching on television and reading on the internet.
Every move you make is being monitored, mined for data, crunched, and tabulated in order to amass a profile of who you are, what makes you tick, and how best to control you when and if it becomes necessary to bring you in line. MOERDENG Men’s W... Buy New $79.99 (as of 05:31 UTC - Details)
When the government sees all and knows all and has an abundance of laws to render even the most seemingly upstanding citizen a criminal and lawbreaker, then the old adage that you’ve got nothing to worry about if you’ve got nothing to hide no longer applies.
Apart from the obvious dangers posed by a government that feels justified and empowered to spy on its people and use its ever-expanding arsenal of weapons and technology to monitor and control them, we’re approaching a time in which we will be forced to choose between obeying the dictates of the government—i.e., the law, or whatever a government official deems the law to be—and maintaining our individuality, integrity and independence.
When people talk about privacy, they mistakenly assume it protects only that which is hidden behind a wall or under one’s clothing. The courts have fostered this misunderstanding with their constantly shifting delineation of what constitutes an “expectation of privacy.” And technology has furthered muddied the waters.
However, privacy is so much more than what you do or say behind locked doors. It is a way of living one’s life firm in the belief that you are the master of your life, and barring any immediate danger to another person (which is far different from the carefully crafted threats to national security the government uses to justify its actions), it’s no one’s business what you read, what you say, where you go, whom you spend your time with, and how you spend your money.
Unfortunately, George Orwell’s 1984—where “you had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized”—has now become our reality.
We now find ourselves in the unenviable position of being monitored, managed, corralled and controlled by technologies that answer to government and corporate rulers.
Consider that on any given day, the average American going about his daily business will be monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways, by both government and corporate eyes and ears.
A byproduct of this new age in which we live, whether you’re walking through a store, driving your car, checking email, or talking to friends and family on the phone, you can be sure that some government agency, whether the NSA or some other entity, is listening in and tracking your behavior.

As French philosopher Michel Foucault concluded in his 1975 book Discipline and Punish, “Visibility is a trap.”
This is the electronic concentration camp—the panopticon prison—the Village—in which we are now caged.
It is a prison from which there will be no escape. Certainly not if the government and its corporate allies have anything to say about it.
As Glenn Greenwald notes:
“The way things are supposed to work is that we’re supposed to know virtually everything about what [government officials] do: that’s why they’re called public servants. They’re supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that’s why we’re called private individuals. This dynamic – the hallmark of a healthy and free society – has been radically reversed. Now, they know everything about what we do, and are constantly building systems to know more. Meanwhile, we know less and less about what they do, as they build walls of secrecy behind which they function. That’s the imbalance that needs to come to an end. No democracy can be healthy and functional if the most consequential acts of those who wield political power are completely unknown to those to whom they are supposed to be accountable.”
None of this will change, no matter who wins this upcoming presidential election.
And that’s the hustle, you see: because despite all of the work being done to help us buy into the fantasy that things will change if we just elect the right candidate, the day after a new president is sworn in, we’ll still find ourselves prisoners of the Village.
This should come as no surprise to those who haven’t been taking the escapist blue pill, who haven’t fallen for the Deep State’s phony rhetoric, who haven’t been lured in by the promise of a political savior: we never stopped being prisoners.
So how do you escape? For starters, resist the urge to conform to a group mind and the tyranny of mob-think as controlled by the Deep State.
Think for yourself. Be an individual. As McGoohan commented in 1968, “At this moment individuals are being drained of their personalities and being brainwashed into slaves… As long as people feel something, that’s the great thing. It’s when they are walking around not thinking and not feeling, that’s tough. When you get a mob like that, you can turn them into the sort of gang that Hitler had.”
You want to be free? Remove the blindfold that blinds you to the Deep State’s con game, stop doping yourself with government propaganda, and break free of the political chokehold that has got you marching in lockstep with tyrants and dictators.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, until you come to terms with the fact that the government is the problem (no matter which party dominates), you’ll never be free.
