- THE FAUCI DIARY
During the Covid-19 pandemic (or plandemic), our governments put party agenda over human life. Relying on the state for critical healthcare has proven to be an existential challenge to humanity.
Editor Paul Gordon Collier wrote in his August 7, 2026, Deep Dive “How the Smartest Man in the World Almost Killed It,” America chose a messianic General willing to play fast and loose with the facts, and willing to hack off body parts to save the whole, so long as those body parts weren’t his. That man was Dr. Anthony Fauci. He was once the center of power in much of the “free world” during the coronavirus plandemic.
“His decisions would not only influence other nations, but America’s inability to be a beacon of liberty in the time of coronavirus had profound effects on the rest of the ‘free world.’ America legitimized tyranny because ‘the smartest man in the world’ said it was the best thing to do.
“His influence in assuring the coronavirus plandemic maintained its emergency status led to the dramatic expansion of mail-in ballots, setting the stage for a 2020 election where more than 70% of the votes were ‘cast’ through the unreliable, unaccountable mass mailer system (which was even less reliable and accountable than the ones we have now).
“This would dramatically change the trajectory of America, from one challenging Chinese power, the International Order, and European elitism, to one that bowed to China, lifted up the International Order, and feted European elites.”
We do not recommend you entirely abandon the mainstream healthcare system, but we do recommend you develop “off-grid” healthcare plans so that if we are ever faced with another coronavirus-like event we can provide for our healthcare needs without having to submit to draconian rules to do so.
Here are three sources to begin your exploration of Off-Grid Healthcare:
- Nobody Talks About Healthcare Off-Grid – Frugal Off Grid – This will introduce you to the off-grid healthcare concept, and even get you started on how to develop your own plans. It includes a video.
- Direct Primary Care – Going “Off Grid” With Your Health – Homesteading Family – This article is aimed at people considering going off-grid, or homesteading, but it will help you build your own supplemental off-grid healthcare plan for yourself. Should another plandemic hit, you will be prepared with alternative sources for healthcare.
- Healthcare Steps You Should Take Before Going Off-Grid – reThinkSurvival.com – This is another article aimed at people considering going off-grid, but it’s about preventative healthcare you can take in your own home (like having a supply of “brain food”).
- THE LAND WITH THE AI PRIZE – THE STATE OF AFGHANISTAN
In our August 21, 2026, issue of MIA, we did a Deep Dive on the state of Afghanistan. We wrote, “For most of its existence, Afghanistan has been under the thumb of conquerors who could never quite seal the deal. Its hope of achieving sovereign power in light of the jewels beneath its soil is slim to none, no matter which power, America or China, were to secure access to Afghanistan’s AI prize.
We assess that America as the hegemon will offer greater opportunity for shared flourishing for self-stewarding people than China as hegemon ever would, for China would continue to support the Taliban if they ever broke the factions.
The Islamic State has no allies, for its endgame is world domination, even over China, even over America. The other factions have strong ties to India, Russia, and some to Iran, but all have ties to America and the West as well.
The alliance of China, Russia, and Iran coming out in open support of the Taliban against Pakistan has strained those relations with the factions we featured in our report. Even Pakistan is finding itself gravitating back towards the West as it sees China’s closeness with India and Afghanistan as working against its own interests.
The war with Afghanistan has only accelerated that re-engagement with the West both from Pakistan and the major factions we cover in this report (sans the Islamic State, of course).”
Dependence on Superpower AI for your development, and even your own AI processing power, brings with it the risk we see for Afghanistan, the loss of sovereign, or self-stewarding power. In the case of Afghanistan, this has been their struggle for centuries.
For you, the rise of AI means two things, learning how to work without AI tools, or learning how to effectively use AI tools. For most, the latter is more realistic than the former. For those in the latter group, we recommend you make it a regular habit to utilize multiple AI agents, including open-source AI agents. This will prevent you from becoming too attached or dependent on one AI “voice.” It will also get you overall better results, especially with research.
We utilize multiple AIs during our research process, asking each one the same probing question.
For Afghanistan, their lack of sovereignty will be born from their dependence on a superpower to secure their lands and develop their mineral prizes. For you, AI dependence, especially on superpower AI, is risking becoming propagandized by those same tools.

- USEFUL LIFE VERSUS SACRED LIFE
In our August 28, 2026, Weekly issue of MIA, Paul Gordon Collier analyzed two separate news stories that both served as bellwethers for the existential cultural divide in America today.
Paul wrote, “It is white progressive women in particular who have served as the frontline assassins of whites, males, heterosexuals, cis-gendered, and white-aligned Americans. Were they to surrender the trans to science, they would lose their savior status and be just another guilty white person in need of accountability.
“The Pink-shirted Ladies of Lindsay are the epitome of this spirit as it moves past childbearing age and settles into empty high-rise apartments. If Lindsay is guilty of murder, so are they, and they know it. Progressive women alone account for more than 57% of abortions, yet they represent less than 1/3 of the female population.
“These aging women have now hit their 40s and 50s, and they have only become more committed to violence as a means of political persuasion. They must, I think, sense a world that comes to see the nature of their murder-justifying lies will soon remove them from power, or worse. At this point, they have everything to lose and nothing to gain if they surrender, for losing means losing everything, and winning is all that matters now.
“They have engaged in decades of child murder and political corporate assassinations, and a world that rejects progressivism will soon not only reject them, but it will also prosecute them. They won’t be prosecuted for murdering the unborn, they will be prosecuted for committing treason, child abuse, and racist, sexist, hetero-phobic discrimination.
“Their habit of evil has caused them to go all in on that same evil, by any means necessary, for the good of their high-rise apartments.
“We are seeing the final desperate push by the white woman progressive army to hold on to their power. They must fight off their victims, the American people, and the disenfranchised classes they’ve ‘served,’ classes now ready to throw their saviors out.”
Our Final Thought in that same issue, by Bill Collier, was about anchoring yourself in times of great ideological uncertainty. What we see here is a fundamental break with basic reality by a significant percentage of our population. This group holds great administrative power in most “American” institutions.
So many of our readers, and their family and friends, find themselves still trapped in institutions controlled by progressives; some are even public-school teachers attempting to preserve some semblance of Americanism in a system increasingly hostile to them.
Bill Collier wrote in his Final Thought, “Becoming aware of your own paradigms, and how they may contrast or align with others, is essential to navigating your path through the uncertainty and chaos we have faced (and will most likely continue to face for the foreseeable future).”
When do we fight defiantly within those institutions and where must you hold your fire?
To understand that question, you must first understand what is most essential to your belief system. To understand that you must understand what your core belief system really is.
Here are some resources that, in total, can give you a starting point for plumblining your own beliefs. From there, you can act more confidently, and with more courage, once you choose to act defiantly against the progressive state.
- The Plumb Line – New Life – This is an essay about how to plumbline your own belief with scripture. This assumes you have already plumblined your own belief that scripture is your primary source for wisdom.
- How to Chane Core Beliefs: Evidence-Based Strategies – HealthSpectra – This is a material approach to plumblining belief, so be cautious in how you approach this if you are Christian. Yet even for the Christian, there is practical value contained here, so long as you frame it within the boundaries of God’s Word.
- How I Discovered My Core Beliefs (And How You Can Find Yours – Dr. Paul McCarthy – This essay points you to therapy, but within it is a good guide for how to identify what your core beliefs are.
- Own Your beliefs – Under the Ancient Oaks – John Beckett – Christians beware, this is a self-confessed “pagan” writing here. He also uses the word “own,” which we assume is not actually possible for beings of limited understanding. This is why we say, “steward your beliefs,” not own them. Yet, even as God used evil for good through Pharoah and the 10 sons of Jacob who sold their brother into slavery, so too can you find good things in this essay. There are basic principles here that can help you determine what in you is stewarded and what in you has been blindly assumed.
One principle in the last article that is more important than all others is “You don’t have to figure out everything yourself,” which could be amended to include, “nor can you.”
EXCERPT:
If you remember the early days of Covid-19, you probably remember the confusion just as much as the fear.
One week masks were “not necessary,” the next week they were “strongly recommended.” Guidance changed on travel, testing, quarantine, school closures, and boosters. Some of those changes were totally reasonable because the evidence was changing, while others were about protecting authority, not people.
Be it understood or not, the way it was communicated often made people feel like they were being managed, not informed (because, in part, they were).
And that’s the real takeaway. Covid-19 didn’t just test healthcare systems. It tested trust.
Transparency is not a “nice-to-have” during a public health crisis. It is part of the response. When it’s missing, even good policies get treated like suspicious ones.
Here are the biggest transparency lessons Covid-19 left us with, and why they still matter now.

Transparency is not a “nice-to-have” during a public health crisis. It is part of the response. When it’s missing, even good policies get treated like suspicious ones.
Here are the biggest transparency lessons Covid-19 left us with, and why they still matter now.
1) People can handle uncertainty. They can’t handle spin.
A lot of public messaging tried to sound confident. The intention was probably to keep people calm.
But confident messaging without clear evidence can backfire fast. The moment the guidance changes, people assume someone lied.
A more transparent approach sounds like this:
- Here’s what we know today.
- Here’s what we don’t know yet.
- Here’s what we’re doing to find out.
- Here’s what would make us change our recommendation.
That style of communication treats adults like adults. It also makes updates feel normal instead of suspicious.
2) “Show your work” builds trust faster than any slogan
During Covid-19, many decisions were presented as final answers, with little visibility into the reasoning.
But people wanted the why, not just the what.
When a government agency recommends a policy, the public shouldn’t need to reverse engineer the logic through press conferences, leaks, or Twitter threads. Publish the evidence summaries. Explain how benefits and harms were weighed. Share the assumptions.
Even better, say what you would do differently if the assumptions are wrong. That one move alone changes the tone from “obey” to “collaborate.”
3) Data transparency beats vibes, every time
A big problem throughout the pandemic was that the data people needed was often late, inconsistent, or hard to compare across regions. In some places, basic metrics were changed midstream without clear explanation. In others, dashboards looked great but hid key details like how “cases” were defined or which tests counted.
Transparent data means:
- Clear definitions (what exactly is being measured?)
- Consistent reporting (so trends actually mean something)
- Open methods (how the numbers were cleaned and calculated)
- Easy access (so researchers and journalists can sanity-check)
When data is messy, the gap gets filled by rumors. And once the rumor machine starts, it is hard to stop.
4) Conflicts of interest don’t go away. They just go underground.
Covid-19 put a spotlight on how decisions can be questioned when there are real or perceived conflicts, whether that’s pharma relationships, political pressure, or institutional incentives.
The fix is not pretending conflicts don’t exist. The fix is making them visible and manageable.
That looks like:
- Public disclosure of financial ties and advisory roles
- Clear rules about who can vote on what
- Independent review processes that are not just symbolic
- Meeting notes and rationales that can be audited later
When people think decisions were made behind closed doors, they assume the worst. Transparency doesn’t guarantee agreement, but it lowers the temperature.
5) Transparency has to include the trade-offs, not just the benefits
Some pandemic policies had real downsides: delayed care, mental health impacts, learning loss, economic pressure, isolation, burnout. Even when a policy is the right call, pretending it has no costs makes the messenger look dishonest.
The public doesn’t need perfection. They need honesty.
A transparent message might be:
“This will reduce hospital overload, but it will also cause hardship. Here are the groups most affected. Here’s what we’re doing to reduce harm. Here’s when we will reassess.”
That is how you keep credibility even when the situation is painful.
6) Local trust matters as much as national guidance
One of the most obvious lessons from Covid-19 is that trust is not evenly distributed. People trust their personal doctor more than a distant agency. They trust local community leaders more than national spokespeople. They trust what they can see.
Transparency works better when it is paired with local messengers and local context.
National guidance is important, but it has to be translated honestly for real communities with real constraints. Otherwise, it turns into a compliance problem instead of a public health effort.
7) The next crisis will punish the same blind spots
It’s tempting to treat Covid-19 as a once-in-a-century event and move on.
But the patterns that broke trust will show up again, whether the next threat is a new virus, an environmental disaster, a drug safety scandal, or a sudden health system shock.
If we want to be better next time, transparency can’t be something we improvise during chaos. It has to be built into the system:
- how data is collected and shared
- how decisions are documented
- how uncertainty is communicated
- how accountability works after the fact
The best time to build trust is before you need it.
What “better transparency” actually looks like going forward
If transparency is the goal, it helps to get specific. Here are a few standards that would have made a huge difference during Covid-19 and would still make a difference now:
- Publish decision memos for major guidance changes in plain language
- Provide open datasets with definitions and revision logs
- Document what evidence was prioritized and why
- Disclose conflicts of interest in a way normal people can understand
- Create clear feedback channels where outside experts can challenge assumptions
- Communicate uncertainty without making it sound like incompetence
This isn’t about making institutions look perfect. It’s about making them believable.
The bigger point
Covid-19 showed us something simple: people will accept tough guidance when they feel respected. They resist when they feel manipulated.
Transparency is respect in action.
And if there’s one good thing we can take from those years, it’s this: the conversation around health transparency is no longer academic. It’s practical. It affects behavior, outcomes, and trust when it matters most.
If you care about public health, research, policy, clinical leadership, or even just how information gets communicated during high-stakes moments, this is the kind of topic worth spending time on, with serious people who are trying to get it right.
Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld is claiming Lawfare prosecutor Letitia James’ office is instructing their attorneys to find reasons to prosecute President Trump and his allies. Wiesenfeld claimed his supervisors told him “to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump.”

EXCERPT:
A prosecutor in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office accused his supervisors of directing him to target President Donald Trump and affiliated individuals and companies first, then search for crimes afterward.
Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld reportedly sent an agency-wide email on Friday to blow the whistle on the order.
Wiesenfeld is alleging that his supervisor instructed him “to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump.”
According to the Times Union, which obtained the message, Wiesenfeld said Investor Protection Bureau chief Shamiso Maswoswe directed him to investigate targets including “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger) … without having a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”
The email was reportedly sent to hundreds of employees across the attorney general’s office.
However, the email was swiftly deleted from the agency’s servers.
Wiesenfeld then sent a follow-up message warning colleagues against using the office to pursue James’s political enemies.
The Chinese Communist Party has been allowed to set up propaganda outreach programs in 83 U.S. Colleges according to a report by Defending Education.
The report claims the program is called “The Young Envoys Scholarship,” which sends 50,000 U.S. students to study or visit China. The program is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism.”

Program is run by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ organization with CCP ties
A Chinese government program at 83 U.S. colleges is part of an “ongoing effort … to influence American students’ perceptions of the communist country,” according to a recent report by a conservative watchdog group.
The Young Envoys Scholarship is an international exchange initiative launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2024 to bring 50,000 U.S. students to study or participate in cultural visits to China, according to the Defending Education report.
It is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism,” the report states.
Reagan Dugan, Director of Higher Education Initiatives at Defending Education, told The College Fix that the program is operating in American schools without students and families knowing its real agenda.
Dugan added that the program needs greater monitoring. “US oversight must apply the same diligence to American students traveling to China at the behest of the CCP that they do to foreign students studying in America,” she said.
A policy expert also raised national security concerns.
President Trump has announced an historic deal with Venezuela that secures 65 million barrels of Venezuela’s oil reserves, which more than doubles the U.S. oil reserves.
The President posted on Truth Social, “The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!… This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity”

President Donald Trump announced an historic energy deal with Venezuela in a Truth Social post Friday night.
The president called the deal “THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY.” Trump wrote that the United States secured “majority U.S. control” of over 65 million barrels’ worth of Venezuelan oil reserves.
Trump credited Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez and “a partnership with private business.”
The president stated that the deal more than doubles American reserves and will “substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans.” He added that the deal would strengthen the “already growing relationship” between the two countries. (RELATED: Trump Says Venezuela Turning Over Huge Stockpile Of Oil To US)
In a subsequent Truth Social post, Trump wrote that the agreement was “the biggest oil deal, by far, in World history!”
The president has shown great interest in Venezuela’s oil reserves since the capture of Nicolas Maduro in January 2026. The South American country holds the largest oil reserves in the world — close to 303 billion barrels worth of crude oil.
Trump announced just days after Maduro’s capture that American oil companies would invest “at least $100 billion of their money,” planning to support the construction of important infrastructure. The president stated that Venezuela agreed that the United States would refine and sell 50 million barrels of crude oil, which he said “will continue indefinitely.”
Venezuela’s interim government opened the nation’s oil to the private sector later that month, which Rodriguez called “a generational reset.”
Following up on an historic drop in pharmaceutical drug prices, President Trump has announced an agreement with major drug makers that could lower the prices even more. President Trump stated, “Our most favored nations’ discounts represent the largest reduction in prescription drug prices in the history of our country.”

President Donald Trump announced new agreements with major pharmaceutical companies Monday that he said will bring U.S. prescription drug prices in line with the lowest prices paid by other developed countries and save Americans more than $600 billion.
The agreements expand Trump’s most-favored-nation drug pricing initiative, which seeks to end the significantly higher prices Americans have historically paid for many prescription medications compared with patients overseas.
“Our most favored nations’ discounts represent the largest reduction in prescription drug prices in the history of our country,” Trump said during an Oval Office announcement attended by executives from some of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical companies.
The administration now has most-favored-nation agreements with 26 pharmaceutical manufacturers representing 89% of the branded prescription drug market, according to the White House.
Americans have long paid substantially more for prescription drugs than patients in other wealthy countries. A 2024 RAND Corp. analysis found that U.S. prescription drug prices averaged nearly three times those in comparison countries, while prices for branded medications were more than four times as high.
