It’s Mask-A-Palooza at C&C, with three new masking stories; pediatric overdoses; Yellen's mistake; and a narrative-shattering opinion piece in the New York Times questions The War.
“ Masks hinder communication, fog glasses and can be uncomfortable”
Oh. By what process do they fog glasses? By large volumes of air passing around the edges of the mask?
High school physics students (at least those of 20 years ago who weren’t preoccupied with applying pronouns) know that the filtration efficiency of a material is proportional to the pressure drop across it. Which means that better filters are more prone to leaks around the periphery. Most masks leak, badly. The filtration efficacy drops to zero where leaks comprise around 3% of the surface area of the mask.
Every glasses-wearing person WHO STILL THINKS should know this. I’ve been saying it all along. It’s SO DUMB.
And as if fogging glasses is even the biggest issue. These people act like we are all a bunch of kindergarten students needing kindergarten instruction. 🙄🙄🙄
And it makes me feel so safe when my pilots are wearing masks! (said sarcastically).
Pilots have stated that wearing masks fogs their glasses, makes it difficult to smell smoke (helpful if there's a fire), and makes it difficult to access their crew (harder to smell alcohol on breath, etc).
FYI - pilots did not wear these silly masks once the cockpit door closed. For the same reason they are not permitted to have facial hair. The fancy emergency oxygen masks they wear in the event of depressurization will not fit properly and removing a paper mask takes precious seconds. The is per relative who is an ATP.
Fog is totally different. That part doesn't have any viruses. Scientists at the CDC can prove this. So keep wearing them. They just work. Anti-viral fibers are used. Are you questioning science???
A nurse friend said they are seeing rising numbers of pink eye, conjunctivitis, in children. Maybe sneezing, coughing and mask adjusting and then rubbing ones eyes?
And consider that touch is likely made unnecessary by the masks’ excellent directional action, taking aerosol particles on a path straight up and into the eyes.
If you must go someplace that's still requiring masks, get one that looks real but is just loose mesh. Recently worked just fine for me in a hospital where I needed to go for a surgical procedure. Nobody even took a second look at it. Bonus: you get to feel smug as hell. Enter "fake mask" in any search engine.
I refuse to wear a mask. BUT, I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. They still do all the stupid bs: questions, temp check, etc. I wear the FAKE MASK. I hate even doing that and I’m really pissed. I want to get all my medical crap done before the SHTF!
When this thing first started I was going for monthly facials. The owner required clients to wear a mask from their car into the office of which only she and I were there. I refused. She never understood.
NONE of it makes sense! It never did! I never complied and got into many verbal arguments at stores. The key word is NO, I will not put a mask on, NO I do not want a mask/face shield. “I have health issues and cannot wear one!” Case closed, now leave me alone.
I feel for you having to deal with that tomorrow. I should go to the dentist, but I just can't with the mask, even the fake masks because having to wear one is dehumanizing and fills me with rage. So I might wait till I visit family in the States and see about going to a dentist there where there's less looniness.
I never wore a mask to the dentist even way back. I realized exactly how stupid that was to wear a mask only to sit with your mouth wide open for 30+ minutes. They did the questions/temp checks, but now it's mostly business as usual. Maybe a little more "protective" gear for the people doing the actual work, but that's about it. They also realized that the multiple masks+shields they were wearing were causing them to be lightheaded, but ... that was part of the state-level rules for them to be open back then. They were relaxed after ~ 3 months, but they were still pretty strict to start.
When I had to wear the stupid diaper, I breathed extra hard to fog up my glasses even more, trying desperately to send the message that these stupid masks don't work. (Probably didn't do any good what with the brainwashing and all, but I gave it my foggy all.)
It's even more basic than that. The assumptions made are 1. masks kill germs 2. masks are worn 24/7. But masks actually collect and breed germs giving all kinds of skin and respiratory problems (but they won't collect this data).
Furthermore, their model is treating viruses like radiation. They claim that there is a constant substantial viral spread present in every school, like you enter a classroom and there is a cloud suspended there. But they don't even measure viral spread, they take PCR test results with 97% false positives. You can't prevent false positives by covering your face! Build fake models, get fake results, claim fake effects. We're stuck in this "do masks work" while the question is "are they needed?". It's like requiring to wear seatbelts in a classroom, why not.
I thought the assumption was that masks _blocked_ germs, not killed them. I have happily never encountered anyone who thought masks killed germs. My faith in humanity is shaken enough without that as well. ;)
It's not what they say but the underlying assumption they don't realize. Like, once germs reach the mask they magically disappear rather than getting collected on the mask and spread with hands. In the beginning of 2020 there were studies how long covid stays alive on surfaces, it's days. I burned masks collected in the neighborhood (people don't bother with garbage bins), they're disgusting.
One of the better videos I saw on Youtube a while back was a guy showing cloth/paper/whatever masks standing outside breathing in cold weather. You could _see_ the air leaking all over the place. So yeah - masks may reduce the amount going straight out, but they just redirect all of that to the edges/sides.
(That said - I still like having a scarf to cover my face when it gets cold and windy, but even then I realize that they don't stop water vapor - they just help block the wind and keep me warmer.)
Reading about the cherry picking mask study is EXACTLY like reading about a guy named Ancel Keys and the cherry picking HE did decades ago in his attempt to prove that dietary cholesterol (and serum cholesterol) causes heart disease. Read The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz for further discussion. Anyway, he chose to include for his analysis only the countries whose data aligned with his foregone conclusions. Not to mention that his data was gathered in unreliable ways as it was... of COURSE the dietary recalls for folks finishing Lent are going to include less eggs and butter and such than is typical for their usual fare 🙄. When MORE countries with GREATER DIVERSITY of diet are included, his conclusions are shown for the scam that they were.
Sadly, we’re now in our third generation of folks being raised on high carb, low fat, veg oil-based diets. And just like masks have had their “unintended, unforeseen” consequences, so to have our dietary policies that are based on Keys’ work. Our soaring rates of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and yes, even cancers, are thanks to Ancel Keys and his bully ways.
Also, the Lancet *is considered by many people* as a most prestigious journal. However, weren’t they the ones who published the fraudulent HCQ study with the fabricated data early in the pandemic? Or was that NEJM? I think it was Lancet. 🤔. It’s pretty sad that we can’t even trust the journals anymore. Although they too have probably been corrupted for far longer than we have realized.
Thank you for mentioning Ancel Keys and his 'Seven nations study'. I know a nutritionist who didn't believe anything the MSM said about covid from the beginning because she knew about the history of Ancel Keys and his study.
My red pill moment came when I picked up Readers Digest in 2011 and read an interview with Gary Taubes about his book "Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It." While I fell for the fear porn for awhile at the beginning of the plandemic, I quickly regained my distrust of the government and was already seeking out alternative media.
I went paleo in 2011 then keto in 2018. Mark sisson and Robb Wolf rocked my world. Not looking back. I’m 74. Never sick. My last antibiotic was 2011. I intermittent fast most days.
Sadly, by the time we learned about low carb high {healthy} fat, my husband had already experienced permanent harm. 😓. He probably would be dead or disabled if we hadn’t learned about LCHF and IF and started living that way.
Same with my hubby. He had a stroke at 49 (recovered ok) snd triple bypass after a heart attack 7 years later . He has kidney damage. He agrees but still eats junk too often.
Those 2, Mark in particular, helped me convince my Mom to change a few things instead of being given multiple prescriptions by her doctor. She also lost the 20lbs she'd been trying to lose for 2 decades.
I've also known about the Ancel Keys scam for at least 20 years, and I suspect that is where my skepticism about the medical research community began. Keys and his connection with government led to the disastrous food pyramid and spawned countless diets that made people fatter rather than slimmer. I was predisposed to be suspicious about C19 information from the moment I started hearing about it.
That's exactly what came to mind when I read "cherry picking" - Ancel Keys cherry picked seven countries for his (false) conclusions on cholesterol and heart disease. I've read the Carnivore Code by Paul Saladino which references a lot of Nina's work. And your comment on the HCQ is bang on - I'm currently reading "The Real Anthony Fauci" by Robert Kennedy Jr. and pages 29-31 cover that whole HCQ fiasco. It was both journals, the Lancet and the NEJM - quoting from the book on page 29, "It remains an enduring mystery just which powerful figure(s) caused the world's two most prestigious scientific journals, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), to publish overtly fraudulent studies from a nonexistent database owned by a previously unknown company. Anthony Fauci and the vaccine cartel celebrated the Lancet and NEJM papers on May 22, 2020 as the final nail in the hydroxychloroquine coffin." Later on page 30 it goes on to say, "Both The Lancet and the NEJM finally withdrew their studies in shame." I suspect by the time they withdrew, the MSM had had their field day(s) with this story to the detriment of citizens around the world. As I'm reading your comment I felt like I was reading my own words - great minds think alike - I hope :) ... Thanks for sharing Copernicus, Cheers!
HCQ got associated with poison at the time because of a MSM story about a couple who consumed aquarium cleaner containing HCQ used to treat fish. One died, second ended up in a hospital. The story was inconsistent as somehow they treated fresh water fish with a medicine used for salt water aquariums. I got blocked from a major blogging platform after pointing it out. For a comment about stupid fish!
That was an interesting story. If I recall correctly, the woman had mental issues and didn't like her husband... and the husband ended up dying and the wife survived, and said she fed him fish tank cleaner "because Trump said to"... :suspicious_cat:
You're absolutely correct. It was the Lancet that published that fraudulent study which was debunked within two weeks, but that was long enough to do permanent damage to HCQ as a therapeutic.
Amen Janice !! Gods word will prevail .. He has a plan and foretold of this evil in our world - He alone is our Rock and Fortress in whom I trust !!🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
It's gotten to the point that everytime I see that despicable 3 letter combination (CDC) I stop reading, thinking, contemplating, considering, etc....Inept doesn't begin to describe this bunch.
I agree Eric- i’m just dumbfounded how any of these organizations are still getting money and are still in business??? Why do I feel like we’re still in Alice in Wonderland- what’s up is down and what’s down is up ⬆️
bazillion years ago when I was in school studying microbiology, my goal was to work at the CDC. I considered it the gold standard. Flash forward - they have lost all credibility with most people of any sense and will not soon get it back. Did you know the CDC actually has a primate research facility? at an undisclosed location somewhere int he greater Atlanta area. My nephew's wife is a veterinarian there ... who knew? Or even suspected. Undisclosed because of the fear of reprisal attacksI suspect.
So strange your saying this because I had fleeting interests in this as well! Eons ago.
As I was addressing letters for the campaign to prevent further authorization of boosters and injections for kids <5, I too considered how utterly empty of credibility these organizations now are. (Letters are going to FDA/CDC people and others on the committees discussing such issues.)
I need to point out that "succinctly" doesn't mean true, even by the New York Times lexicon. And saying that Russia "annexed" Crimea is leaving out that part where the people of Crimea, in an 89% turnout, voted 97% to be annexed to Russia. It's always framed as Russia aggressively taking over Crimea. Can't have people thinking self-determination had anything to do with it.
It's been done against procedures described in Ukrainian law, so it's technically annexation. And the number 97% is bogus, perhaps, more like 60-70%. Nevertheless, Crimea republic has been always a special separatist region with pro-Russia majority. They don't want to go back to Ukraine. Recognizing Crimea would've been the first step to de-escalation.
If you look at the map, it explain the reason for the annexation very well. Crimea is a strategic point for a military fleet, to access the Black sea. Prior to 2014 Russia had access to the Black Sea by renting a port in Crimea from friendly Ukraine. But when Ukraine changed course and started to talk about joining NATO, NATO would've gained this strategic point and Russia would've lost it. For the same reason Russia doesn't want Georgia to join NATO. If both of those countries join it, Russia loses access to the Black sea.
Ukraine already had a color revolution in 2004-2005, so saying that the events in 2014 were completely orchestrated by the US is bogus as well. More like the Ukrainian freedom movement was taken advantage of, it's all about money and power. And now Ukraine is taken advantage of to have a proxy war with Putin. I wonder if the agreement in 2021 was signed because Ukraine started to fall off the hook.
he New York Times might just be coming around to our point of view. Yesterday, it published a guest essay titled, “The War in Ukraine May Be Impossible to Stop. And the U.S. Deserves Much of the Blame.”
should read
“The War in Ukraine May Be Impossible to Stop and the JOEBAMA regime deserves Much of the Blame.” FIXED IT FER YA!!!
The NYT aka Grey Lady is a mouthpiece for Langley and just like the other outlets they HAVE to publish this kind of thing for one reason: The vast majority of people have figured it out and they risk playing to an empty theater like, yup you guessed it: CNN+
How on earth did we end up in this world, where so called health authorities go out of their way to abuse kids, and a backwater in Central Europe becomes the germination point for a global recession, if not a nuclear war.
Covid-19 is not a government-run public health program being badly supervised by FDA regulators captured by Big Pharma.
Covid-19 is a government-run domestic military research and development, social control, bioterrorism, mass murder program being operated with deadly effectiveness by the Health and Human Services Department, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson on behalf of the World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, and Bank of International Settlements.
The Govt/State attempted to save lives in one narrow bandwidth (failed) and consequently caused mortality by any and all other causes to increase, in some cases to levels not recorded previously. This is my take, that’s it.
Gov’t/State attempted to take - and successfully has taken— massive numbers of lives, while falsely presenting itself as attempting to save lives. What CDC markets as public health program is really a DOD-operated bioterrorism program. And it’s going according to US-government plan.
I hope so. Seems to me that Biden isn’t going to back down and could easily see US at war if it means he could take more control of our society for a time. Lockdowns ended, no problem, Wartime Acts begin!
Quote: wrote Henri Guaino, a former top adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy, in Le Figaro this month. “It is the ineluctable process of 1914 in all its terrifying purity.”
Anyone else notice the word "terrifying" is everywhere lately? Seems everyone is terrified of everything; covid, gun grabs, Russia, perverted schools, inflation, crime, vaccine side effects, and on and on and on. Far too many people are "terrified" of everything. We mock the left and their triple masking, but how much better are we when we are "terrified" of the WEF?
Yeah a lot of things suck but stop using this word and everything it stands for. At best it demonstrates the speaker's cowardice and weak faith. At worst, it's an emotional manipulation tactic meant to instill fear in others.
Well said. I’m not afraid. God showed me the truth last summer and took my fear away and left peace. Joy. Determination. Courage. Mercy(although I still need much work on that) What can they threaten me with? Heaven?😍
First, any over the counter mask does not stop viruses and they are harmful. Re-breathing your digestive enzymes and maintaining a high level of CO2 is unhealthy! Let alone the destructive social development issue for children covering their faces.
Second, The NY Times article is again, wrong! Crimea was not a result of Russia's actions. It was a result of the 96% of the people in Crimea are Russian and had a referendum to join Russia to avoid being attacked. Ukraine is half German and half Russian. The Germans are controlling the Ukrainian gov now thanks to the US in 2014. The Germans want to attack the Russian people of Donbas, Lugansk, Mariupol, etc. in the east of "Ukraine." Russia came to protect them, thank G d! It would have been a horrible massacre of innocent people. Putin is not the monster here! Biden, EU, and NATO are the bad actors and instigators here. They need a distraction from their complete failures!
"One-way masking is how we have always used them." Says the leftist rag that was all in on the idiotic contention that "my mask protects you and yours protects me".
"My mask protects you and yours protects me." I picked up on this, too, since my former public health physician colleague actually repeated it to me as what he was counseling his patients, for the love of God. And he graduated from *my* training program! Sheesh.
“At the end of the day, the Times thinks people should wear masks if they want to: “Anybody who wants to wear a snug, high-quality mask can do so and will be less likely to contract covid. … ‘One-way masking is how we have always used them,’” another expert explained.”
This nearly made me spit out my coffee. The absurdity of where we are now just continues to amaze and dishearten me. This reminds me of last summer when a Michigan state rep legislator who did a 3 times weekly update of what was going on in Lansing. He opined on one such update that he had gotten jabbed and he felt everyone should get jabbed. His line was…”I don’t believe in mandates, but if you are WILLING and able, you should get the jab.” Ruling out those who couldn’t get it for medical reasons, IF you are willing pretty much sums up the rest of us. And yet here we go again with the two areas the Federal gov’t can control, travel across state lines and schools, via Leftist state school boards. We all knew masks would still be in play.
I still can’t go into a big box grocery around here without seeing a half dozen masked people. Just wow.
..."the West, led by the Biden administration, is giving the conflict a momentum that may be impossible to stop.” - It's not "the West" led by "the Biden administration", it's both being directed by the Military Industrial Complex that former president Dwight Eisenhower warned us about in his January 17, 1961 farewell address to the nation. Did I mention the CIA?
Wouldn't it make sense for the liberals to leave the conservatives to our own devices in not wearing mask? Certainly, if they believe bare faces cause fatalities they should be encouraging us to continue bare faced. Then, eventually they would be the only ones left and Utopia would be theirs's. They should be encouraging us to continue in our wayward ways as they mask up and preserve themselves for the Glorious conservative free future.
If they believed masks worked you would be correct. They know masks don't work so the goal is to exercise power and get the population to submit. Being anti-mask is a very visible threat to their authority and they cannot let it stand.
“ Masks hinder communication, fog glasses and can be uncomfortable”
Oh. By what process do they fog glasses? By large volumes of air passing around the edges of the mask?

Fog is totally different. That part doesn't have any viruses. Scientists at the CDC can prove this. So keep wearing them. They just work. Anti-viral fibers are used. Are you questioning science???
Love the UK study on lungs….yeah, micro-plastics in 85% of the test subjects. The OTHER M.I.C. Killing you as slowly and expensively as possible.
What is MIC?
Military Industrial Complex and Medical Industrial Complex
Ooooo. Of course. Acronyms always confound me. Thanks.
😂😂😂
I totally forgot! Fog is special. Just like this particular virus.
I'm assuming sarcasm??
Good One, LOL.
A nurse friend said they are seeing rising numbers of pink eye, conjunctivitis, in children. Maybe sneezing, coughing and mask adjusting and then rubbing ones eyes?

How does wearing a mask into the dentist office work? This doesn’t make ANY sense . 😂
It’s just like when they require masks at restaurants and you take it off to eat .
Crazy 😜
When this thing first started I was going for monthly facials. The owner required clients to wear a mask from their car into the office of which only she and I were there. I refused. She never understood.

I think that's the point - it doesn't make any sense.
Do these morons ever THINK about their actions? Sometimes doing the right thing isn’t going to be comfortable. That’s life!
Obedience training, accept the insane until you yourself are driven insane. See Stockholm Syndrome...
I feel for you having to deal with that tomorrow. I should go to the dentist, but I just can't with the mask, even the fake masks because having to wear one is dehumanizing and fills me with rage.

While I fell for the fear porn for awhile at the beginning of the plandemic, I quickly regained my distrust of the government and was already seeking out alternative media.
Yep. Us too. Similar course, although our dietary red pill came by way of Jason Fung’s Obesity Code. Have read some of Gary Taubes’ books since.
I went paleo in 2011 then keto in 2018. Mark sisson and Robb Wolf rocked my world. Not looking back. I’m 74. Never sick. My last antibiotic was 2011. I intermittent fast most days.

The precursor book of Gary Taubes’ that is a tome on the subject is Good Calories, Bad Calories. Horrible title. Excellent book.
I've also known about the Ancel Keys scam for at least 20 years, and I suspect that is where my skepticism about the medical research community began. Keys and his connection with government led to the disastrous food pyramid and spawned countless diets that made people fatter rather than slimmer. I was predisposed to be suspicious about C19 information from the moment I started hearing about it.
That’s what made me question all of medicine and the myths. The cholesterol con.
Yes, my husband and I were predisposed to be skeptical for the same reason. Thank God.
Just wish we had known about the dietary nonsense about twenty years ago. Would have prevented unfortunate bad health outcomes for my husband. 😓
Can I quadruple ‘like’ every point you made, Copernicus? Thank you!

“CDC” and “authority” have as much business being paired as “cognizance” and “Joe Biden.”
On another note:
Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
“Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
— Psalm 46:8-11
Amen Janice !! Gods word will prevail .. He has a plan and foretold of this evil in our world - He alone is our Rock and Fortress in whom I trust !!🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this word from God! “Cease striving and know that I am God.” What I need.
Yes, He is our strong tower of truth in which to seek refuge, as well as our anchor by which we can hold steady. So thankful for Jesus!
Thx, Janice!!
It's gotten to the point that everytime I see that despicable 3 letter combination (CDC) I stop reading, thinking, contemplating, considering, etc....Inept doesn't begin to describe this bunch.
I agree Eric- i’m just dumbfounded how any of these organizations are still getting money and are still in business??? Why do I feel like we’re still in Alice in Wonderland- what’s up is down and what’s down is up ⬆️
Or like Htrae, the bizzarro parallel world in Superman comics where things are opposite.
Unfortunately they are not actually inept. They know exactly what they're doing.
I think that is an important distinction to make. We have to understand and declare what is really going on.
That's a given.
I hear you! It's all the 3LA. (3 letter agencies). Enemies of the people!
Which is why the parent company of Google is….
Alphabet. Yeah they like to have a bit of fun. Kinda like Omicron=Moronic!
bazillion years ago when I was in school studying microbiology, my goal was to work at the CDC. I considered it the gold standard. Flash forward - they have lost all credibility with most people of any sense and will not soon get it back. Did you know the CDC actually has a primate research facility? at an undisclosed location somewhere int he greater Atlanta area. My nephew's wife is a veterinarian there ... who knew? Or even suspected. Undisclosed because of the fear of reprisal attacksI suspect.
So strange your saying this because I had fleeting interests in this as well! Eons ago.
As I was addressing letters for the campaign to prevent further authorization of boosters and injections for kids <5, I too considered how utterly empty of credibility these organizations now are. (Letters are going to FDA/CDC people and others on the committees discussing such issues.)
I like to borrow a phrase I saw recently that fits: The Seedy C. Seedy indeed.
Fits perfectly!!
And yet they continue getting paid!??!
You are correct. They are not inept. They are corrupt.
CDC = Center for Disease and Corruption
I need to point out that "succinctly" doesn't mean true, even by the New York Times lexicon. And saying that Russia "annexed" Crimea is leaving out that part where the people of Crimea, in an 89% turnout, voted 97% to be annexed to Russia. It's always framed as Russia aggressively taking over Crimea. Can't have people thinking self-determination had anything to do with it.
Hmmm didn’t know about that vote!
It's been done against procedures described in Ukrainian law, so it's technically annexation. And the number 97% is bogus, perhaps, more like 60-70%. Nevertheless, Crimea republic has been always a special separatist region with pro-Russia majority. They don't want to go back to Ukraine. Recognizing Crimea would've been the first step to de-escalation.
If you look at the map, it explain the reason for the annexation very well. Crimea is a strategic point for a military fleet, to access the Black sea. Prior to 2014 Russia had access to the Black Sea by renting a port in Crimea from friendly Ukraine. But when Ukraine changed course and started to talk about joining NATO, NATO would've gained this strategic point and Russia would've lost it. For the same reason Russia doesn't want Georgia to join NATO. If both of those countries join it, Russia loses access to the Black sea.
Ukraine already had a color revolution in 2004-2005, so saying that the events in 2014 were completely orchestrated by the US is bogus as well. More like the Ukrainian freedom movement was taken advantage of, it's all about money and power. And now Ukraine is taken advantage of to have a proxy war with Putin. I wonder if the agreement in 2021 was signed because Ukraine started to fall off the hook.
he New York Times might just be coming around to our point of view. Yesterday, it published a guest essay titled, “The War in Ukraine May Be Impossible to Stop. And the U.S. Deserves Much of the Blame.”
should read
“The War in Ukraine May Be Impossible to Stop and the JOEBAMA regime deserves Much of the Blame.” FIXED IT FER YA!!!
Or, Obiden, to put them in chronological order, or order of puppet master and puppet, or just about any other listing strategy.
JoeBama! Wonderful. I've been thinking that Bama man is the voice in ByeDim's ear piece.
The NYT aka Grey Lady is a mouthpiece for Langley and just like the other outlets they HAVE to publish this kind of thing for one reason: The vast majority of people have figured it out and they risk playing to an empty theater like, yup you guessed it: CNN+
How on earth did we end up in this world, where so called health authorities go out of their way to abuse kids, and a backwater in Central Europe becomes the germination point for a global recession, if not a nuclear war.
Covid-19 is not a government-run public health program being badly supervised by FDA regulators captured by Big Pharma.
Covid-19 is a government-run domestic military research and development, social control, bioterrorism, mass murder program being operated with deadly effectiveness by the Health and Human Services Department, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson on behalf of the World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, and Bank of International Settlements.

The Govt/State attempted to save lives in one narrow bandwidth (failed) and consequently caused mortality by any and all other causes to increase, in some cases to levels not recorded previously. This is my take, that’s it.
Gov’t/State attempted to take - and successfully has taken— massive numbers of lives, while falsely presenting itself as attempting to save lives. What CDC markets as public health program is really a DOD-operated bioterrorism program. And it’s going according to US-government plan.

That IS it!
I notice that the “pivot” on Ukraine is starting only after the treasury is plundered to the tune of some $50 billion.
And info from the war zone is leaking out. The pesky ruskies are winning. Vlad will overcome.
Biden: Take the jab, and you won't get covid.
Biden: The Ruble will be rubble.
Can only hide facts from the normies for so long...
My thoughts exactly. They got their massive spending bill passed, so now they'll tell the truth.
I hope so. Seems to me that Biden isn’t going to back down and could easily see US at war if it means he could take more control of our society for a time. Lockdowns ended, no problem, Wartime Acts begin!
Quote: wrote Henri Guaino, a former top adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy, in Le Figaro this month. “It is the ineluctable process of 1914 in all its terrifying purity.”
Anyone else notice the word "terrifying" is everywhere lately? Seems everyone is terrified of everything; covid, gun grabs, Russia, perverted schools, inflation, crime, vaccine side effects, and on and on and on. Far too many people are "terrified" of everything. We mock the left and their triple masking, but how much better are we when we are "terrified" of the WEF?
Yeah a lot of things suck but stop using this word and everything it stands for. At best it demonstrates the speaker's cowardice and weak faith. At worst, it's an emotional manipulation tactic meant to instill fear in others.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
Well said. I’m not afraid. God showed me the truth last summer and took my fear away and left peace. Joy. Determination. Courage. Mercy(although I still need much work on that) What can they threaten me with? Heaven?😍
Exactly. The worst thing that can happen to me is I die and get away from all this chaos and idiocy. Sounds good to me.
First, any over the counter mask does not stop viruses and they are harmful. Re-breathing your digestive enzymes and maintaining a high level of CO2 is unhealthy! Let alone the destructive social development issue for children covering their faces.
Second, The NY Times article is again, wrong! Crimea was not a result of Russia's actions. It was a result of the 96% of the people in Crimea are Russian and had a referendum to join Russia to avoid being attacked. Ukraine is half German and half Russian. The Germans are controlling the Ukrainian gov now thanks to the US in 2014. The Germans want to attack the Russian people of Donbas, Lugansk, Mariupol, etc. in the east of "Ukraine." Russia came to protect them, thank G d! It would have been a horrible massacre of innocent people. Putin is not the monster here! Biden, EU, and NATO are the bad actors and instigators here. They need a distraction from their complete failures!
"One-way masking is how we have always used them." Says the leftist rag that was all in on the idiotic contention that "my mask protects you and yours protects me".
"My mask protects you and yours protects me." I picked up on this, too, since my former public health physician colleague actually repeated it to me as what he was counseling his patients, for the love of God. And he graduated from *my* training program! Sheesh.
“At the end of the day, the Times thinks people should wear masks if they want to: “Anybody who wants to wear a snug, high-quality mask can do so and will be less likely to contract covid. … ‘One-way masking is how we have always used them,’” another expert explained.”
This nearly made me spit out my coffee. The absurdity of where we are now just continues to amaze and dishearten me. This reminds me of last summer when a Michigan state rep legislator who did a 3 times weekly update of what was going on in Lansing. He opined on one such update that he had gotten jabbed and he felt everyone should get jabbed. His line was…”I don’t believe in mandates, but if you are WILLING and able, you should get the jab.” Ruling out those who couldn’t get it for medical reasons, IF you are willing pretty much sums up the rest of us. And yet here we go again with the two areas the Federal gov’t can control, travel across state lines and schools, via Leftist state school boards. We all knew masks would still be in play.
I still can’t go into a big box grocery around here without seeing a half dozen masked people. Just wow.
Only half a dozen? I estimate 50% of the big box store patrons in my area still mask up.
..."the West, led by the Biden administration, is giving the conflict a momentum that may be impossible to stop.” - It's not "the West" led by "the Biden administration", it's both being directed by the Military Industrial Complex that former president Dwight Eisenhower warned us about in his January 17, 1961 farewell address to the nation. Did I mention the CIA?
Bingo. Who do we think is filling pockets (already bulging with pHarma swag) and gets free passes into all the offices of that stink hole DC.
Wouldn't it make sense for the liberals to leave the conservatives to our own devices in not wearing mask? Certainly, if they believe bare faces cause fatalities they should be encouraging us to continue bare faced. Then, eventually they would be the only ones left and Utopia would be theirs's. They should be encouraging us to continue in our wayward ways as they mask up and preserve themselves for the Glorious conservative free future.
If they believed masks worked you would be correct. They know masks don't work so the goal is to exercise power and get the population to submit. Being anti-mask is a very visible threat to their authority and they cannot let it stand.
Right on. My whole unvaxxed family is still waiting to die. 😂 Uncle Joe told us so in his delightful Christmas sentiment last year!
