Dear Editor:
I had the opportunity to speak with WGDR’s station manager Llu Mulvaney-Stanak a day or two ago looking for archives of Jim Hogue’s interviews from Goddard college days. Interviews like that of Daniel Ellsberg. To my dismay, not any of his work was archived. To my further dismay Llu informed me that she limits ‘dangerous misinformation’ on WGDR. Discussions that Covid was a hoax are not allowed she told me, and thus I surmised that Covid as a coup, Covid as a bioweapon are also not allowed, or Covid as a plan, Covid as the biggest transfer of wealth in human history, or Covid as a complete and total failure are also not allowed. Millions died ! Llu announced in defense of herself.
I understand that Vermonters were frightened of hurting other Vermonters, or worse being hurt themselves by a new virus, and were eager to comply with the protocols advanced by VT Government. Today, however, is the time to review and reflect on the extreme measures that were taken.
Did the protocols prevent death? People died in old age homes alone and sad. People died of overdose, and suicides doubled. Local businesses died, including mine. But the biggest corporations raked it in. Hospitals were financially rewarded for Covid deaths and diagnoses. Doctors were financially rewarded by the numbers of shots delivered. And we are not allowed to talk of it. We are not allowed to look at the 11% rise in all-cause mortality after these protocols! As if discussing reality as we experience it is wrong.
Once people are not free to try on different angles of the same events, and explore critical thinking skills, we are not a democracy. Ms. Mulvaney-Stanak is unwittingly out to destroy democracy. Our capacity to talk circles around important events from every angle to find out the truth, and discover better remedies, is how democracies function. Thus free speech is a right conferred by God, not government. The truth rises from the free and open discussion of events without censorship. The Amish did not follow any Covid protocols and did not die. I’d like to discuss why. Would WGDR censor successful protection from Covid ?

To the Editor:
Vermont Daily Chronicle, thank you for your diligence in getting the word out through your programs you have built and maintained since day one. As you know only too well, the State is covered from end to end with the blather and drivel only the left knows how to craft. Your presence in the media world is very much welcome, and comforting when the other side hangs up their pens for the day. The Left gets things backwards in print, and also in Montpelier in those hallowed halls under the golden dome, which during the last biennium’s productions, seems to have caused many Republicans to step up and give it a shot. This is good news and if there were ever a year or years in which this should happen it is this year.
The D/P crowd has spent every nickel and dime and then some. There is no money, anywhere, which includes the wallets of many Vermonters. The State is broke, and had better pave the way for an accelerated payment plan for the pension benefit indebtedness because that could be the case, recession or not. Insolvency? If 4.5 billion $ hasn’t done it what will? Another 2-3 years of D-P insanity, we likely will find out.
The Republicans have made it real easy for the D-P hammer to swing. First they are divided and have been for way, way too long. The current RSC, Paul Dame couldn’t care less. Nothing ventured nothing gained, and he goes about being the number one Trump hater along with similar feelings towards Netanyahu. Go figure. Neil Johnson nailed it in simple terms, earlier in the week. Neil and I are on the same page, along with others, but Dame? That is another discussion.
On the DC scene, unity and cohesiveness have put the D’s in a quandary, to the point they do not know which way to turn. And then Harris shows up……. Oh my goodness!

Thank you Emily for saying what we should all be thinking.
Personal response: As to the first letter, in light of your great statement about different views on the same event, the following do bear notice:

As for the second letter I agree that we need to defeat the spirit of division, but I differ in that I see this being accomplished by accepting different views, rather than needing to be in lock-step with an arbitrarily-set party ideology.
Re: ‘I agree that we need to defeat the spirit of division’
Being ‘divided’ is a two-edged sword. And it’s better than a sword with only one edge.
In one aspect, being divided is a necessary condition for individualism, for free enterprise. One size never fits all. We are divided because we choose to be divided, in the same way we freely choose to have relationships when it benefits us to do so. Sometimes choosing to be divided is the secret sauce of free enterprise, a recipe for the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Sometimes voluntary relationships are on the menu. But most of the time, in fact, the secret sauce is the infinite variety of relationships that occur in a dynamic free market matrix. It is what some have called ‘the American Experiment’, with each State being a ‘Laboratory of Democracy’. It is what the U.S. Constitution was intended to protect.
“The key insight of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations is misleadingly simple: if an exchange between two parties is voluntary, it will not take place unless both believe they will benefit from it.” – Milton Friedman
Don’t defeat the spirit of division. Embrace it.
Re: “The Amish did not follow any Covid protocols and did not die. I’d like to discuss why.”
Timothy, these articles on Covid 19 death rates in Amish communities must be reviewed with a grain of salt. Consider the data put forth by Vermont’s health department, data that ostensibly listed 450+- Vermont deaths caused by Covid in the first year and a half of the pandemic. Analysis of the report clearly indicated that only 18% of the listed deaths were exclusive to the Covid virus. And we don’t know if it was the disease or the treatment that killed them. Keep in mind, that the government encouraged the prognosis of Covid as the cause of death by subsidizing healthcare institutions for every death listed in that category. And, curiously, there were none of the usual ‘regular’ flu deaths recognized during that same time period. Covid killed 450? The regular flu killed no one? One of the people on the list died of a drug over-dose in a suspected homicide and was still included on the Vermont list.
The question we must all answer for ourselves now is – when nothing we see or hear can be trusted, how do we proceed to protect ourselves?

This is a matter of the control of People by Health. The Marxists, Globalists have used Fear and Propaganda to pursue a culture of death & chronic ailments among the People by the avenue of Health, or for that matter HealthCare (you can also add in GMO’s and the Pharma Companies all rolling in on the money making scheme together). WHO, FDA, CDC, Health and Human Services, National Institute of Health . . . all tied together along with other characters, organizations in the Globalist/Marxist Club.
People are realizing they’ve been lied too, through the relentless push of propaganda on main stream media, are not happy to say the least and are rejecting what has been pushed upon them for decades. This has been in the making since at least 1963, if not before in smaller steps, about the early 1900’s.
Some people are waking up in Vermont, but it’s slow here compared to other states.
Side Note: We are a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.
How about the truth Emily? Is Llu going to censor the facts, that Covid was started in a Wuhan poorly secured gain of function lab where it escaped (easily) and became a pandemic killing millions worldwide!!!! Dr Fauci needs to own this!!! He was the one that was financing gain of function of this particular virus in this particular lab!!!! And the democrats back in late 2019 were working on ways to bring down a republican president!!! That’s right -the economy!!! It worked. It killed over a million Americans, shut up businesses for good, killed elderly in nursing homes where they had to die alone and afraid—isn’t that barbaric!!! People lost their jobs for not getting the jab, businesses closed, children lost so much of education and social skills, some committed suicide and believe it or not thousands died from vaccine accidents (at least that’s what the cdc says!!) Dems don’t care-thru fear they have control over you. Totalitarianism.
And Vt public health knew of medications like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin that if given early would pull the patient thru but would tell drs they could not prescribe them because they hadn’t been tested and proven yet. How about at least trying to always give the patient something to try lessening the symptoms as a standard??? No they just let people get worse and die!!!
So now we are inundated with laws from the supermajority progressives that make it unbearable unlivable and not sustainable!!! Vote them all out!!! I am reluctant to put trust in Dame but there are some good republican candidates out there this time around and I hope you feel like I do that we have to do something NOW in 2024!!! And spread the news to neighbors, family and friends!!!
Llu Mulvaney-Stanak? Name sounds familiar – related to the Burlington Mayor? Installed agents of change – the fruit does not fall from the tree.
Propaganda and censorship are two sides of the same fascist playbook… expect more…
Once you know the agenda…you can spot the mechanics to keep the agenda in place.
In this case: bull, bull and more bull… get out your hip waders and muck shovel…we’re about go into full on total propaganda.
And the only place tilting at the truth will be VDC.
Would anybody familiar with WGDR expect their content to not be colored or censored with a left lean ? Come on !
