Lies My Gov't Told Me: And the Better Future Coming

Rate this book
A WALL STREET JOURNALNATIONAL BESTSELLER

*AS SEEN ON TUCKER CARLSON TODAY AND THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE*

A guide for the times—breaking down the lies about COVID-19 and shedding light on why we came to believe them. 
 
When he invented the original mRNA vaccine technology as a medical and graduate student in the late 1980s, Robert Malone could not have imagined that he would become a leader in a movement to expose the dangers of mRNA vaccines that billions of people have received—too often without being informed of the risks.
 
For voicing opposition to the “mainstream” narrative, Dr. Robert Malone was censored by Big Tech and vilified by the media. But he continues to speak out and alert the world to the web of lies that we have all experienced. From vaccine safety and effectiveness to early treatments like ivermectin, to lockdowns, masks, and more, Dr. Malone is the signature dissident voice telling the other side of the story about COVID, the role of corporate media, censorship, propaganda, and the brave new world of transhumanism promoted by the World Economic Forum and its acolytes.
 
What effect did the COVID policies have on lives, livelihoods, and democracies? How is it possible that the lies spread by governments would persist, and that our institutions would fail to correct them? Lies My Gov’t Told Me takes a hard look at these questions and illustrates how data, information, and psychology have been distorted during the pandemic. 
 
Governments intentionally weaponized fear to mold behavior. The media smeared anyone who objected to the narrative. And Big Pharma—aligned with larger globalist interests exemplified by the likes of Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum—had captured the agencies that are supposed to regulate it long before the pandemic began. Dr. Malone explores these perverse connections between Pharma, government, and media, and tells us what can be done about it.
 
With contributed chapters from other leading thinkers, such as Dr. Paul Marik and Professor Mattias Desmet, and drawing upon history, psychology, and economics, Lies My Gov’t Told Me looks at COVID from numerous angles. Never satisfied with a simple answer or easy solution, Dr. Malone proposes multiple action plans for a better future.
 
Dr. Malone calls on each of us to find our own solutions, our own ways to resist the control of fascist, corporatist, and totalitarian overlords. If we are to step out of the darkness—toward a world that defends the principles of the Constitution, upholds individual rights, and honors free speech—we all must play a part in the transition.

An emotional journey through the Covid19 pandemic presented by the brave Dr Robert Malone.
If you didn't get vaccinated read this.
If you did get vaccinated and have regrets read this.
If you're on the fence read this.
Get an idea how government overreach works on the grandest scale ever.
How corporations and government work hand in glove for gross profits.
How dissenters to a central unwavering narrative are destroyed personally and professionally.
Whatever your experience through this unprecedented time this is a must read.

Detailed listing of experiences of people adversely impacted by the decisions and actions of our medical and governmental leadership during the recent Covid crisis. It identifies the reasons that rational thinkers have lost trust in those areas that were historically reliable sources of help. I hope but doubt that there will be any accountability for these bad actions. We need a better process for validating the actual personal values that truly guide the decisions and actions taken by those whom we choose to put into positions of leadership.

Be Enlightened from thee Expert!

This is the sixth book I have read concerning COVID, and the most in depth. Dr. Malone humbly presents who he is, his qualifications, defends his shameful shunning, and brings in, in the various chapters, the expert virologists and other experts to affirm the misinformation currently being pushed from government and the media.

Excellent book by Dr. Robert Malone outlining the incredible level of corruption in our government, the media, and the medical profession. The book is very well written, very informative, and very scary. I feel I can no longer trust my government or the medical profession. I can no longer trust the CDC to give me proper medical advice because they are no longer a medical organization, they are a left wing advocacy group. We live in very scary times where our way of life, the republic that was set up by our founding fathers is slowly slipping away. Hopefully enough people will open their eyes enough so that we can prevent that from happening.

An opus to the capture of government by corporate money

A mind altering opus to the capture of government by corporate money power. It will change the way you see "The World" or reinforce and validate your views if you have already recognized how big money fuels the greed that is a foundation of our evolved survival mechanism. It is not "government of the people, by the people, for the people." It is government of the bourgeois, by the bourgeois, for the bourgeois and it is time for those of us with the insight and privilege of spare time to get off our asses and turn the ship of state around and back to the course of ensuring freedom for all.

If people let government decide which food they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny. —Thomas Jefferson
Today, we are challenged to accurately decide which is the bigger risk: Is it COVID, or is the new unchecked power gathered up in the name of COVID? Whether you feel governments are sincerely trying to protect you from COVID, or you feel they’re using fear to gather up new powers, they now have control of technologies that every despot in history would have envied. --Robert Malone

This book will piss you off. Just read it.

This was an eye-opening book that few will read. It was reviewed in few if any newspapers. Dr. Robert W Malone was invited to discuss his book on few if any mainstream media outlets OR right leaning media outlets. If a book gets little or no exposure in the media, it will not be widely read. Period.

One of the reasons for this lack of coverage is that Robert W. Malone (and others) were immediately portrayed as a crazies who were spreading false information. Having read several books in the past two years on big Pharma and its incestuous relationship with the government this was not surprising to me.


For those who are not aware, Dr. Robert Malone is an internationally recognized virologist and immunologist, clinical research and regulatory affairs expert, US federal contract proposal and project manager, and the original inventor of the mRNA delivery and RNA/mRNA platform delivery technologies. He received his scientific training at UC Davis, UC San Diego, the Salk Institute Molecular Biology and Virology Laboratories. He received his medical training at Northwestern University (MD) and Harvard University Medical School (clinical research and post graduate fellowship) and in Pathology at UC Davis. He has nearly 100 academic peer reviewed publications and has been a speaker at roughly fifty medical conferences.

Despite his very impressive credentials, Malone has been portrayed from the beginning as one who is spreading medical disinformation, so he was effectively censored by the US government in cooperation with big tech and almost all media outlets, both left and right leaning. (FYI – television networks get about 70% of their ad revenue from Big Pharma. Just count the number of drug ads as you watch your favorite television shows. Networks to not want to alienate the hand that feeds them.)


There is a public/private partnership between the government and many large corporations including but not limited to Big Pharma. This undermines the impartial assessment of medical treatments that receive approval from the government. Drugs that are currently off patent (like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin) are now being recognized in many circles as actually being helpful to treat Covid-19. However, at the time that Big Pharma was rushing to get a vaccine to market, it was critical for the government and Big Pharma to make sure that NO other treatment (particularly one which was off patent where little or no profit is made) be recognized as being effective against Covid. If this were acknowledged, it would be in violation of federal law to authorize any vaccine under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Therefor, any scientist, medical doctor or organization that suggested that ANY treatment was effective, was subjected to cancel culture and censorship. We now know that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were helpful in reducing the severity of a Covid infection. In countries where hydroxychloroquine is routinely used to treat malaria, Covid cases were MUCH lower than in the US. Personal note: an extended family member of mine is believed to have had Covid in early 2020 (based on symptoms) before it was being diagnosed as such. Their spouse has lupus and is taking hydroxychloroquine for it. Despite the fact that they slept in the same bed for weeks while one of them was very sick, the spouse who has lupus and was taking hydroxychloroquine never came down with Covid. While one case is certainly not scientific, given the amount of lying the government engaged in during Covid, and the fact that countries where malaria is rampant and hydroxychloroquine is used to treat it had such low rates of Covid, it certainly makes me wonder.

There is an incestuous relationship between Big Pharma and the CDC, and FDA. Many of those who work in the government and are responsible for approving drugs and treatments also get a stipend from the profits of the drugs they are involved in testing and approving. Many of those who work in government for a period of time, then go to work for the Big Pharma companies at MUCH higher salaries and use their connections in government to smooth the way for regulatory approval of drugs developed by their new employer.

I admit that at the beginning of the pandemic I was VERY naïve about the level of lying by our government. I believed Fauci when he kept pushing vaccination to stop the spread of Covid. I was vaccinated and boosted. Yet, I know a number of people who were vaccinated and double boosted yet still came down with Covid. I should have known better than to be so trusting. I am old enough to remember the Pentagon Papers and how they exposed the government lies during the Vietnam War. Why did I believe what Fauci was telling us? Because I thought he was behaving like a scientist not a bureaucrat or politician. I was wrong.


Now that Big Pharma has a public private partnership with the government, we must all be skeptical and ask lots of questions. This public/private partnership happens in many areas of government, and we must be vigilant and continue to ask questions and challenge what we are being told. Whether you got the Covid vaccine or whether you didn’t. Whether you believed Fauci or you didn’t, this is a VERY informative book.

the truth will set you free

With media, big pharma, etc. only allowing false facts to be published to generate profits and dictatorships, a balanced view and factual information is hard to come by. The views by many well qualified individuals contained in the book are an eye opener to the truth - compared to the unqualified opinions of medically untrained social media. A must read if you want to have your eyes opened up. There are many examples in history where we look back and wonder how the situation was allowed. Reading this book gives me the same view - how did we allow this to happen?

An in-depth multiple standpoint analysis of the greatest crime commited against modern humanity. A very worthy read for everyone, as these crimes applied to every one of us and still do even today in a form of propaganda and lies. A very chilling and informative book, though some parts are a bit difficult to understand as a layman and some tend to drag a bit, but a essential read nonetheless for everyone interested what's going on behind the curtains of our totally corrupted world.

The most important book I have read in three years! It's worth many more than five stars. I started this book, then went to get a highlighter and started it again. Dr. Malone tells us what happened, how it happened, and what to do now. It's a tough read. But, read it to the end. The amount of information is staggering. I have a much better understanding of the country and world i live in. I thank Dr. Malone and his wife Jill for this volume. I salute you both.

The federal government spent $1 billion for advertising on media, social media and tech platforms to push an experimental "vaccine" that is not fully licensed to the public in a so-called effort to limit the spread of a Corona virus and protect its citizens. There were no disclaimers as to the efficacy of the gene therapy in the commercials or in print advertising. We were all informed that these shots are safe and effective when in fact there had been limited clinical trials performed by the pharmaceutical companies and absolutely no double-blind studies let alone single-blind, a practice which is unheard of in epidemiology or vaccinology. Independent experts admit that figures on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System only comprise an estimated 10% of the actual events that occur as most remain unreported. More people have died due to the Covid vaccines than all other vaccines combined. That is a fact that the government pretends does not exist.

Some people recognize that Big Pharma and the World Economic Forum individuals have infiltrated every level of our government and almost all "world leaders" from Western democracies. These officials have been trained by the WEF to serve corporate interests and the financial institutions that fund them. It is wise for all citizens to be skeptical of their government and to continue questioning policies that infringe on our constitutional rights and personal freedom. Dr. Malone provides a message of hope at the end of the book, though hope is difficult to maintain.

What makes this book resonate for a libertarian isn’t just its critique of government overreach—plenty of books do that—but its deeper appeal to informed consent, individual autonomy, and free inquiry. The author doesn’t want people to follow him blindly any more than he wants them to follow Fauci. He wants people to think, to ask questions, and to retain ownership over their own bodies and choices. That, to me, is hopeful.

Of course, the skeptic in me raises an eyebrow at some of Malone’s broader claims and generalizations. There are moments where anecdote feels stretched too far, or complex issues are distilled into neat narratives that deserve more nuance. But the book isn’t pretending to be academic—it’s a wake-up call, a warning, and a challenge to the reader to never outsource their critical thinking, even (especially) in times of crisis.

In short, Lies My Gov’t Told Me is not a book for the blindly trusting. It’s for those who still believe in truth, even when it’s messy—and who understand that the best way to hold onto liberty is to question everyone, including our own biases.

This Is an amazing book that Everyone Should (and needs to) Read. That said, it's a difficult read; its the author's work but included guest authors in sections (so the voice and thinking presented, changes through-out the book); the book is long (maybe longer than necessary, they needed a great editor to preserve the content and organization while chopping out half the words). Part of what makes this book so good (and bad) is its range. It covers the topic of Covid-19 pandemic (some like me say plandemic) almost in entirety of aspects... I was amazed to learn POTUS Trump has an E.O. rules against by ketanji brown jackson (who was given a SCOTUS appointment for that work) that dealt with our Deep State Employment (Schedule F.) which I'd Never Heard About (IMO that's rare). I think most readers will be amazed if they can take it all in. Maybe this needed to be 4 books?

If during the past several years, you’ve had a sneaking suspicion that the world is askew, just not quite right anymore. If your spider senses have been tingling with a feeling there’s crucial information you’re not privy to lurking just under the surface of daily news. If you’ve had occasional, accidental, even unwelcome, glimpses of a glitch in The Matrix—this book will validate your premonitions and offer clarity. But before you even crack its covers, you MUST ask yourself two questions: 1) are you capable of keeping an open mind when learning new facts that contradict your current paradigms? 2) can you emotionally handle knowing unpleasant, unpopular truths? Proceed to page one ONLY if you can honestly answer yes to both. Because, seriously, Dr. Robert Malone’s “Lies My Gov’t Told Me” is Alice’s Rabbit Hole. It’s Pandora’s Box of shocking things you might not wish to learn about. Be forewarned: Malone is Morpheus and you are Neo. If you choose the Red Pill over the Blue Pill you can never comfortably live in The Matrix again.

The Establishment views Dr. Robert W. Malone, MD, MS, as a dangerous man. Therefore, he has been slandered, maligned, defamed, suppressed, deplatformed and cancelled by Main Stream Media, Big Tech, Big Government and, of course, Big Pharma. Why? Because he is a pioneer and expert in mRNA and DNA gene therapy “vaccines”—he holds multiple patents on the technology—and was formerly an “insider” who made his living as a researcher and developer of biodefense countermeasures for multiple US Department of Defense contractors. He has been on the front line of fighting epidemics like Zika, Ebola and Yellow Fever. He is an internationally recognized and respected virologist and immunologist. He could have KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT and continued to collect royalties and lucrative government contracts.

Instead, he was brutally honest about the fact that his own technology, mRNA gene therapy delivery systems, was NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME. For this sin, Dr. Malone MUST be destroyed by an unholy Trinity of Big Pharma, Big Tech and Big Government. (Malone is not taking this lightly and is currently suing some major legacy media outlets for their slanderous character assassination.)

Lest you think this book is just about a virus from Wuhan and an Emergency Use Authorization mass injection program, know those chapters are just a peak at the current web of deception that has captured us like flies. “Lies My Gov’t Told Me” covers a variety of hot topics, all currently taboo in the MSM. For example: 1) a current coverup of an increase in All-Cause Mortality; 2) Mass Formation and how governments manipulate their citizens with behavior control; 3) the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, the Trusted News Initiative, and government’s capture of Mainstream Media; 4) the future of bioweapons—and much, much more.

It is noteworthy that this book is not just a compilation of Malone’s writing. Ingeniously, the good doctor has included many chapters that are essays written by leading experts in medicine, economics, law, and a variety of other disciplines. This adds extra credibility to his work of non-fiction. This is a book for independent thinkers who dare to take a brave look behind the government’s Wizard-of-Oz-like curtain. Will you read it? Only you can choose which you swallow: the Red Pill or the Blue Pill.

One last warning: buy the book in hardback form. This one may be at risk of digital book burning by the powers that be.

Thank You For Standing Up

In the terrible times of the Covid19 pandemic Robert Malone's voice, and other brave souls like him, has been essential to my sanity. For I too resisted the draconian violations of humanity's inalienable rights on the part of governments, the complicit media, the corrupt pharmaceutical industry, and other cabal enablers. Swimming against the tide put me at odds with my employer, co-workers and even family members. I turned to research for alternative treatments and it was these courageous voices that provided answers in a world gone mad.

Dr Malone has the information you need to know. He does not hold back. Good read.

I've been a fan of Doctor Malone ever since he spoke out against the people pushing the vax and the vax. Even the virus itself wasn't as bad as the government was making it out to be.

A must read much like "The Real Anthony Fauci" by RFJ Jr. Malone gives a complete and deep analysis on the covid power grab.

Malone arguably went international with his famous "Mass formation psychosis" heard around the world.

Malone draws back the curtain on the corruption of the "inverted totalitarianism".

Vaccines don't stop transmission, infection nor replication.
Vaccines were rushed and have a terrible risk profile.
Vaccines appear to be causing increased susceptibility and weakening the immune system by causing virus to escape the adaptive immune system for omicron and/or vaccine induced enhancement.
Vaccines mandates don't work.
Lockdowns didn't work.
Mask mandates don't work.

Malone has a unique ability to pull together the entire narrative and provide good advice moving forward.

If you think that:

1) the Covid-19 pandemic is an example of the "military industrial intelligence apparatus" (as RFK Jr. puts it in an introduction to the book) seizing power over society, rather than a serious disease outbreak that's cost millions of lives,

2) that contrarian physicians and scientists have been silenced and lost freedom of speech, in spite of all the books, lectures, speeches, interviews and various public platforms they've been featured in and successfully monetized (Robert Malone boasts "tens of thousands" of paid subscribers on Substack. Seeing that the cheapest monthly subscriptions on that site go for $5 and many for much more, Malone is making (at the least) hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from that source alone. Not bad for a persecuted Truth Warrior),

3) that the vast majority of epidemiologists, infectious disease experts, vaccinologists, public health officials and front line physicians, nurses and other health care workers who've struggled to contain the pandemic are instead part of a nefarious plan to deny you liberty and make you sicker,

4) that debunked cure-alls like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D etc. are effective against Covid-19 but have been suppressed by an evil Pharma Conspiracy, while Covid-19 vaccines are (contrary to all good evidence) far worse than the disease,

5) that RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense (which is behind this book) is a force for good, instead of being a virulent antivaccine lobby organization hoping to use the Covid-19 pandemic to weaponize opposition to all vaccines, thus making dangerous vaccine-preventable infectious diseases common again,

6) that no major media, science journalists or fact-checkers can be trusted, while conspiracy-shouting websites like InfoWars and Natural News are impeccable sources of unexpurgated truth,

...then this book is for you!

Spoiler: this stuff has been broadcast ad nauseum all over the Internet and is available for free, no need to spend money on an endless stream of worthless books like this from Skyhorse, publisher to the stars of crankery.

You don’t know what you don’t know. I’ve been following much of this for the past 12 years so a good bit of it isn’t new to me. A lot of people aren’t ready to receive this information. It’s not for the faint of heart. Sometimes I wish I could unknow what I know. If you’re someone that wants to know what’s REALLY going on, then this book is for you. For others, it just may simply be more than you can handle.
