Am I the only one wondering if Casey DeSantis’s breast cancer diagnosis (Oct 2021) is vax-related?

I feel like I’m one of the very few who remembers when Gov. DeSantis was all-in on the vaccines, and proudly proclaimed they were fully vaxxed. I also wonder if her diagnosis was the pebble that started his ball rolling more strongly toward alternate & early treatment, and eventually against the vax for wide swaths of the population.

Sounds plausible, maybe Jeff could ask him: What caused the 180 degree turn?

Expand full comment

A whole lot of us were fully in on the vaccines, including me. I volunteered for Pfizer's Phase 3 trial thinking I was doing my civic duty. At that time I was under the impression that vaccines were sterilizing. By the time I began to see the light a few months later it was too late. I was already "vaccinated." I would think millions of people accepted and trusted the CDC when they said these "vaccines" were safe and effective, including Gov. DeSantis.

Easy to have 20/20 hindsight.

You’re making a pretty strong accusation labeling all of those as RINO’s. Although there are a lot of RINO’s in Congress, I don’t believe Ron Johnson(WI) is one of them. He hosted a 4-5 hour Covid panel of experts that was televised and had a vast amount of excellent information by highly qualified professionals. I’m wondering if you’re controlled opposition that you would make those claims here, especially with those senators up for re-election in a week. A warning to all C&C readers, not every comment is legitimate. Be discerning.

I don't know about Sen.Johnson, but, as much as I've been a huge fan of Rand Paul and his dad, I just found out that he and his wife invested big $ in Gilead, the maker of remdesivir. Paul also just introduced legislation to allow Pharma to bypass a critical phase of rx testing. Makes me sad.

Expand full comment

I would definitely delve into this more. Personally I don't think any sitting congressman or woman should hold direct investments in Pharma. To me it's just a big conflict of interest. I also think they should be audited every year. Rand Paul seems pretty transparent so maybe write/call his office and get right to the source. There is probably more to it than you know.

Expand full comment

Oh I definitely know that there's more to any of it than I know--or anyone else out here in the citizen's cheaper seats may ever know. One need only review the bank balances of Liz Warren or Nancy Pelosi to see how a six figure salary can magically turn into a millionaire's investment portfolio. I'm not suggesting their money merely comes from Pharma stock--it could also be coming from Raytheon or any other Military contractor source. What about the $80 Billion in weapons the US allegedly gave to Zelenskyy's military. Nancy and Mr Z both own multi-million dollar mansions in Florida! A pretty neat hat trick I dare say.

My thinking too. I would ask Rand Paul. He's always been transparent and ethical.

Expand full comment

Yup...Always follow da moolah! I read an article that was published in the MSM channels(more or less) and I believe something like 400 congress members and senators hold stock in Pharma. CDC is a yuuuge money-maker, and Wall St always benefits. pax

"Houston...we have a problem." In accord with the alternative historical view: The District of Columbia is merely HQ for the U.S. Corporation[that is now bankrupt]. Anna Von Reitz recently posted an interesting article re two different textbooks used in schools until the Carter admin selected "US History" as the format used to indoctrinate students. The other textbook format teaches "American History" in AVR's reckoning. The DNC will have hell to pay when the DOJ is properly re-activated.

Rand Paul is NOT making points for a recent piece of legislation, eliminating "animal testing". Now, they can just run the experiments on humans directly, as we are witnessing with the injections. “Leaders of the Senate from both parties recognize that the United States must lift an archaic animal-testing mandate for drug development and replace that strategy with 21st-century methods grounded on human biology,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy.

Expand full comment

Animal testing, sadly, was not eliminated. It is the mandate that was ended. So, they can still use animals for testing, but they are not required to do so.

I am wholly opposed to animal testing. They cannot understand nor give consent, they are simply used, cruelly abused, and killed. If you want to be truly horrified, look up vivisection.

If I find that an act on a person is immoral and unacceptable, how can I then find that same act is acceptable to do to an animal? I cannot.

Rand Paul certainly made points with me. It was a step in the right direction.

It does seem like with all of the technology available, there could be some other effective way. Also a lot of the tests on animals don’t really end up translating to what happens in humans anyway.

The 8 mice used in the testing of the bivalent covid booster would agree. Oh wait! The booster killed them.

When the meds work fine for animals, it is considered by scientists to be safe for men. when the meds kill the animals the scientist says, oh it will work out for humans. When it works for men it is automatically considered to be working for women. (mostly doses are too strong for women if they are okay for men)

Perhaps, but used unlawfully for decades and its leadership following unconstitutional orders that have resulted in uncountable millions of casualties.

Whatever "authority" Congress "gave" to the Executive is unlawful since Congress cannot delegate an authority it does not have nor can it delegate a responsibility it does have under the Constitution to either the Executive or Judicial.

Expand full comment

I would add specific advice for the church that they really need to stop caring so much about signaling the world's twisted version of virtue. Learn to laugh at the absurdity rather than bow to it. Seriously read the Bee more. Train your smile-and-say-"no thanks" muscles. Good reputation is desirable but its price tag with most popular institutions right now is too hefty.

Be ready to laugh at petty tyrants, forgive those who were deceived, and bring those who did the deceiving to justice.

Expand full comment

Absolutely! Here are some of the things that some mainline Protestant churches in my neighborhood are doing/have done:

1) Fly "Black Lives Matter" and "Say Their Names" banners in front of the building.

2) Erect a new sign up front with the Gay Flag permanently incorporated into the sign.

3) Invite Reza Aslan, whose best-selling book proclaimed that Jesus was just another run-of-the mill zealot, to speak to the congregation just before Christmas, a few years back.

They'll do anything to separate themselves from those icky Christians who insist that the Bible is to be taken seriously.

Expand full comment

The Bible speaks of sins of commission and sins of omission. Even "good" churches, such as mine, have remained silent about what has happened since 2020. Our shepherds have not pulled the sheep back from danger and now we are seeing the resulting devastation, in the form of needless covid and vaccine deaths, as well as strokes, aggressive cancers, heart problems, neurological problems, and other debilitating vaccine injuries. It's so strange that it can't be mentioned. When I speak out, I'm usually met with uncomfortable silence or scolded by being told that the vaccines have kept many out of the hospital or, more maddening, that "I had all my shots and I'm fine!" When we finally get to the Nuremberg moment and it can't be hidden any longer, I want to see these people's faces. They will probably think the criminals are being treated unjustly. It will be too painful to realize that they allowed themselves to be so thoroughly fooled.

Great comment. One of the churches I wrote about above held a Bach recital, but insisted on proof of "vaccination" in order to attend. Sin of commission.

As to sins of omission, only once in the last 20 years have I heard my pastor speak out against abortion. And that was only a month before he was leaving on new assignment.

Expand full comment

Our pastors speak out on abortion and we participate in prayer walks to abortion clinics. We also support foster and adoptive parents. I can only assume they consider the vaccine issue to be too political. Not to mention, one of them who was jabbed (not all were) just returned to half-days at work, after being out for a month. He had bronchitis, pneumonia and covid (!) but he probably thinks it would have been so much worse had he not had the miraculous vaccine!

Most of the churches have been positively supine, do not really differentiate between good and evil, and by sins of omission are an ally of Satan. Man cannot live without truth (and justice). And in my experience church pastors do not uphold truth and/or Christian Biblical morality by application to the culture. Nope! Instead it is all this Woke virtue signaling excrement.

Fear is a powerful tool. It is my belief that if you have true faith in Jesus Christ you surrender your fear to Him and move one. Let Him deal with it and you will be under His protection. Can’t get any better than that.

Expand full comment

Yes!! I decided very early on, when I was somewhat fearful, that I had no control over whether or not I got covid. God is sovereign and it was up to Him whether or not I had covid. I DID, however, have control over whether or not I got jabbed and the longer I waited and studied, the more certain I was that I would not be. Getting the jabs is simply Russian Roulette, with no benefit. I trust God, but after all this, I trust very few humans and certainly not our government or healthcare system.

I think the globalists and money have infiltrated many churches. Ours was overtaken a few years ago. They accused pastor of a sexual harassment that occurred in 1981. Lol. He put his hand on her thigh and hugged her a bit longer than she thought he should. He was ousted. They then removed almost every single leader around him. The entire team was different in 6 months. New pastor came in, covid hit, church closed, then they had BLM parade in lot, opened church but mandated masks, we started hearing DEI stuff, worship team didn't have one white person on it any longer, not one!, then video on asian hate. We left!

Expand full comment

Wow! Praise God my church is not like that! Very doctrinally sound, just quiet on this one issue. We had online services for a little while, then had services outside for awhile. Then, for those who were paranoid and unable to come maskless, we had a mask-only service for them. We have three services each week. I think we handled the closing situation fairly well, as in the beginning, we didn't understand what was going on. Even the good doctors and scientists who are helping were, in some cases, fooled in the beginning and got jabbed. Dr. Robert Malone was injured by the jab.

Have you read “ A Letter to the American Church” by Eric Metaxas? It’s a must read!!

Expand full comment

How about Naomi Wolf's, The Bodies of Others? I found it at my local library and it was so much better than I expected that I may order my own copy. I order many of the books written by the heroic doctors and scientists in order to support them, since most of them have lost so much by taking a stand.

Dr. Peter McCullough's book, The Courage to Face Covid19, is a very good, easy to read book which I have been lending to others. I intend to try to get one of our Bible class teachers to read it. After learning about a young mother's devastating vaccine injury, he asked his class to pray and assured them that such injuries are rare.

Regarding the Metaxas book, this is my favorite quote. "They are in their churches singing more and more loudly to drown out the cries of those in the boxcars heading to their gruesome deaths. Sing with us, they say, and don't worry about all of those other issues out there. They don't concern us. Our job is to focus on God, and to pretend that we can do so without fighting for those He loves, whose lives and futures are being destroyed." Can't say it any better than that.

When in August 2021 I, with tears, emailed our senior pastor to explain our family’s experience with the pandemic, how like many we were initially afraid but then soon learned why we didn’t need to be (but D, ivy, lower mortality than we had been told, etc, etc) and how the church’s reinstated mask mandate (we want to love our neighbors and reduce burden on hospitals and honor the government) was preventing our joining in person church (we don’t wear masks), and also explained that masks and mandates were akin to the yellow star, quoting Vera Sharav,... how EXCITED our young son had been to get to go back to church after a year at home - even gathered his own offering that he had been holding onto for months - yet now, after just one Sunday back in person, we were facing TV church again.... when would it ever end?...... nothing. Not.one.thing.

The likeminded elder whom I had included on the email, just to be sure that the email was received and that the pastor knew it was being seen by not just him, replied saying that yes, it’s complicated and he would be happy to discuss nuances further. I think he was just being polite re the pastor... as I know he and his family disagreed emphatically with the masks. Anyway, I replied that the time for nuance was over.

But, never heard a single thing from the pastor. On our year-end giving statement letter, he scrawled how “sad” he was that he never replied, and he wanted to follow up that week. But again, never heard a whisper.

That church simultaneously was going increasingly woke, and we are no longer there. We appreciated certain aspects of the liturgy, and those we miss immensely. But not enough to sell short our souls.

Your story is repeated all over America, the insufficiency of fallen Western Christianity and its less than fallen churches. We too church On Line because there is nothing worthwhile locally. We are, unfortunately, too old now to take on forming up a truly theologically correct church with visible moral agency. Time has caught up with us as to diminishing health. But indeed, it is nice to know that this is a concern and that many young people with energy are picking up the baton. God cannot be defeated as long as people thirst for truth.

We have been thankful to have discovered a different nearby church that is very strongly biblical and conservative in its teaching. The sermons are rich feasts every week. The middle and high school youth group pastor discusses worldviews and current moral issues w the kids. The elementary kids are being taught from THE BIBLE itself rather than watching movies and “finding Jesus” in the movies. While there is a place for that, how about we first teach our kids the actual Bible?

We have been blessed.

It’s bittersweet because we truly experienced value in the interactive liturgy, the back and forth congregational prayers and readings, and the music was rich with meaning in the words. We miss all of that in the new place.

This was the post that brought me to C & C. I am so grateful.

I am delighted to say that my church has been fantastic throughout. Never once was there a sign on the door requesting masks. The vast majority of the members never chose to wear them, either. For a month or two in the spring of 2020, our church did limit maximum attendance in accordance with local mandates, but they rescinded those limitations by June and have sworn to never be fooled into doing that again.

My pastor led a Bible study on "Lessons from 2020" in which he emphasized the rights of the conscience. I know that he wrote a mask exemption letter for one child's parents to take to the local school district. He did NOT join the local churches when they collaborated on a woke statement after George Floyd's death.

What's ironic is that one of our elders works at Zoetis, which is the animal vaccine division that Pfizer spun off just a few years ago. He told everybody at church that masks were worthless. Everyone in his family, including his aged mother, is completely unvaccinated.

I encourage all of you who are alienated from your church to keep looking until you find one that aligns with truth. They are out there.

I myself was so disappointed in many churches during the scamdemic. Most of them bowed to the incredible hysteria by closing down and then by punishing those of us who were not vaccinated. As a Christian, I was appalled! In our previous church, we were denied the Eucharist because we were not wearing masks. My husband and I left the church for good. Many churches had signs that said, "you don't love your neighbor if you don't get vaccinated." Where was the faith over fear that Christians are supposed to adhere to?? Gone, out the window! So sad!

This month, my devotional has had several passages dealing with not being fixated on the way others see us. Of course I initially mainly thought about the personal aspects of this exhortation. However, I had the lightbulb moment recently, that this is exactly what all of these churches and many churchgoers have been doing with regard to BLM, Covid, etc. They care more about how the world views them than how the Lord views them. It’s a different kind of legalism in a way.

Exactly. And care more about this than Scripture! Although it is unstated, it is more the selling of the soul to gain the world. But as we see in recent time, there is no safety or prosperity save what comes with obedience to and an unwavering insistence upon God. Harsh times tend to bring things into sharp focus.

Same here.

Methodists are going through many changes. I no longer consider myself a United Methodist. It took a year for the pastor to call me to find out why I was not there after being closed a year , opening with masks required. Then 2 months later masks again. I quit then. A year ago. Now a phone call? Before I left we had exhortations to get the jab. Nothing much we used to do has returned--including younger families snd children. I am praying for a new congregation.

I’d like to. I’m very rural tiny town and driving an hour or so will not work but I may look into house churches. Try some church online worship first. I attended a fundamentalist Bible church for 25 years deep into prophecy and the Bible. That’s how I then connected this Covid to the end days and Satans plan. So I’m grateful for that discernment. That church split into many pieces And basically disappeared. I know the good ones are out there but the mainline ones are all I have within reasonable distance. Someone recommended Lutheran Missouri synod. We have one in town but it closed up as well during the plague. Masked—the whole thing. I live in a blue state.

In Acts 2:42 we read that one of the four things the early church devoted itself to was “fellowship.” Fellowship was a very important part of their reason for meeting together. It was one of their objectives. But what is fellowship?

We often hear people talking about fellowship. We hear it said that what we need is more fellowship. But our modern ideas of fellowship have become so watered down that the word no longer carries the same meaning it did in New Testament times.

We are not surprised that the early church devoted itself to “the apostles’ teaching” and also “to prayer.” Apart from the ministry of the Holy Spirit, these are the two most important means of growth, power, and effectiveness in the Christian life and this is everywhere evident in the rest of Scripture.

But Luke tells us these early Christians also devoted themselves to fellowship. They just didn’t have fellowship; they devoted themselves to it. This means that fellowship was a priority and one of the objectives for gathering together.

They made fellowship a priority. Fellowship takes place in a Church or if need be, in the catacombs.

Where does it say “in a Church”? You don’t need a fancy building to be a church. I go to a small home church and it’s so much better than the large church I used to attend, or the base chapel I was involved in overseas. We meet twice a week and fellowship and listen to a sermon and study the Bible. And we have no 501c3 status to be beholden to the tax man. You can’t tell me I’m not “in church” just because there is no church building involved. Just real people who love Jesus.

Not sure if you mean it or if it's what you tell yourself as an excuse not to go to church. Either way it's not true as there are very good churches out there. You paint all churches with a broad brush (only care about 501C status) which you can't possibly know unless you've visited every church. Don't let the existence of some bad churches poison your opinion of all of them.

(Not to mention that if you are a Bible-believing Christian you really don't have a choice as God commands us to fellowship in numerous passages. It's not optional.)

I used to tell myself the same thing but it turned out I was just too lazy to get my butt up on Sunday morning and used institutional flaws as a good excuse to sleep in. Churches are filled with flawed people (aka sinners), there's an old saying that if you find a church without hypocrisy, don't join it as you'll ruin it. The beauty is that the closer we come to Him, the less we sin as He transforms our lives (sanctification). A good church helps immensely in that journey.

Once you find a good spirit-filled, Bible-teaching church it will be the highlight of your week (and more often too as midweek services are great).

Congrats, Pamela. I too am a TLM Catholic. When Covid hit, we lived near Ground Zero in Seattle. The chickens*&% archdiocese shut down immediately & ordered all parishes closed. So we switched from the FSSP parish to the SSPX one.

Unfortunately, the SSPX parish was directly across the street from the town police station, so pretty soon we were out of luck there too as Gov. Inslee put on his jackboots and stomped out all Christian worship.

WE (those who are followers of Christ) ARE THE CHURCH! There are many false teachers, thus continuously strengthening your relationship with God is essential and then allowing Him to guide you in service. Find a “church” who reflects Christ and then you form community with like minded people. Share the truth and to those who have ears but cannot hear, dust off your sandals and move on. Don’t let evil distract your mission.

Accept that the religion of Christianity has a horrible past too, there are many who claim Him, but do not know Him!

I don’t want my “church” involved in politics or my medical decisions. I DO want them to speak of what the Bible teaches and teach that to the body of believers. If each of us guided by the Holy Spirit, use discernment and tread wisely we can accomplish much!

Told folks we were unloving to question mask wearing. “People are afraid, and we can help them feel less afraid by wearing a mask, so we should be loving and be willing to be uncomfortable for their sake.” I am not making that up.

I guess "trust God and fear not" isn't in the Pastor's Bible? It's in my NKJ version dozens of times.

I can understand fear and uncertainty in the first month, after that it was obvious that the threat was way overblown. The Bible condemns fear in no uncertain terms because it means we are looking to the world rather than to God. Pastors that enabled this fear will have to answer for this one day, I hope they are prepared. In addition to being sinful, this fear coddling has led to an explosion in mental illness and human suffering. It's pretty ugly.

One of the nice things about being a Baptist (theologically speaking) are the doctrines of the "priesthood of believers" and "soul competency". I wrote my own exemption letter (which was accepted), we answer to God not other men.

Expand full comment

Yeah, my husband wrote that he didn’t need a letter because he answers for himself before God. 👍

A lot of Christians forgot the “do not fear.” Or somehow led themselves to believe that despite this command, it would be foolish to disregard what we were being told to do for our and for OTHERS’ good. You know, the whole, “love others more than yourself.” Or, uh, actually it is “as yourself,” but that trivial difference wasn’t supposed to matter.

I was astounded how LITTLE discussion there was amongst Bible believing Christians about these things. No wrestling with stuff. No long conversations about, what, really, does God mean when he says to not forsake gathering together. Or, when he says to lay down your life for your friends. How does that apply? I mean, does it REALLY mean that I put masks on my kids and myself - when I know the harms - just to perhaps make Sue feel better? How do we sort through these when people in powerful positions are ignoring evidence that their views are flat wrong? Am I *really* supposed to take an experimental thing, just to keep Grandma safe? How do we know Grandma will be safer anyway? Can we trust what we are being told? Aren’t there a lot of political incentives and conflicts of interest here?

I mean, I am not a brilliant person, but it was obvious that a fast 💉 carried enormous conflicting interests. Re-election hopes. Financial incentives. Popularity of public health. I mean, it was obvious. And yet so many people didn’t see.

Agree. I was also very shocked and surprised at the absolute silence of the church on the pandemic. Everyone wanted “safety” and making their neighbors “feel good” rather than practice critical thinking and spreading TRUTH. I’m an avid Moody Radio listener where I discovered Eric Metaxas who preached the heroism of Bonhoeffer, but when it was the church’s turn to stand up, crickets! I was very disappointed in the church. I couldn’t believe the silence! I expected more from the figureheads I esteemed like Franklin Graham, Beth Moore, etc., I was shocked to discover that Rick Warren was part of the Covid Collective group that is pushing the jabs & treatments... then and I found Jeff’s article. Thank you, Jeff! It was the first glimmer of hope!

Then Sean Feucht went on a worship storm across the country. Then Clay Clark went crazy hosting rallies and unapologetically bringing God into politics same with Mike Lindell. Then the coalition of freedom seekers began to form! People from all walks of life and belief systems who knew something was not right at all. Too many to name. And it’s gaining steam.

The tide is beginning to turn. We must not lose hope! I keep sharing the nuggets of truth & wins that keep coming out in studies, lawsuits, elections, and media with my naysayer friends as they’ll tolerate me, and I am constantly praying like the Bible says - the prayer of the righteous avails much, casting down every imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing it into captivity! I pray against the evil of the globalist elite, that God will make a complete embarrassment out of their evil plans. I’m praying that the eyes of their heart will be opened so that they might see the truth and repent. And God is doing it, through all of you who are on the front lines! Eventually the mountain of evidence will be so great, the naysayers (like Ben Shapiro) won’t be able to ignore it anymore and will change their tune!

But the church does need to wake up. I’m praying for this too. I think this whole situation has caused many to be afraid and others to become more bold than they’ve ever been before. It’s the point where the time for timid is over and it’s time to declare a side and go full on into it. Another glimmer of hope, I think I’m starting to see the abortion issues and the transgender movement beginning to wake the church up. They’re talking about the corruption on Janet Parshall’s show on Christian radio now. Praise God. Do not grow weary in doing good.

The republicans are running an ad about democrats only running on abortion and since it was voted in by the people and the laws can’t be changed, the end says “Democrats can’t run on their failed policies and they don’t respect you enough to tell you the truth.” It’s the fist time I’ve seen them fight back.

Haven't read the book, but I can surmise a good bit of it. But won't go there.

Agreed on the War for Independence ... and even theologically correct as to orthodox/reformed conceptions. But I add the War of 1812 with England, and really a second try for the British Empire nascent to retain its American colonies.

World War II could be debated ... and maybe unavoidable. Yes, I know the history of how 'we' got into it, and so on. But even so, if National Socialism had won in Europe, what would be the ramifications? And would the Empire of Japan just have kept on expanding? And what would be the ramifications of that? I realize that these imponderables could be debated until the cows come home. And if one wants to get down to it, under Roosevelt (and to some extent even before), the United States was already into National Socialism itself. Yes, WW II ... a can of worms.

Safe to say, by 1941, America was already long down The Rotten Road to Nowhere (i.e., total tyranny). And it's only gotten worse. And we have to deal with it all ... like now!

If you run for Attorney General I'd probably vote twice. Is that wrong? BTW, Ashley's great, but I'm disappointed in her relative silence on the covid crimes front. I'm on her email list, she never mentions it. She could and SHOULD be out in front of this.....coordinating with other AG's of similar ilk??....something.

She's after the hospitals for the opioids and they're telling her to take a hike. They don't answer to the AG in Florida, only the lawmakers. The laws need to be changed.

Actually, Ashley is NOT great. She heads the ‘Florida Alliance to End Human Trafficking’. I’ve contacted them via email 3 times and phone twice. No one has gotten back to me.

I’ve been meaning to reach out to Jeff Childers. I have a very plausible way to stop the supply of human trafficking with help from insurance carriers. I spoke with the FL insurance commissioner’s dept. They think it’s a great idea, so much so that no one wants to speak with me. I also contacted an NGO near me in Sarasota and they won’t speak with me either, but they’ll take my money.

It seems NO ONE really wants to stop human trafficking, even with a task force. Ashley ain’t that great.

I’m afraid if Jeff runs for AG that we won’t have good lawyers to fight on the grounds like he has. And tonwrite this CnC. We need him here! sprry Jeff

Maybe Mike Lindell (My Pillow guy) and Gregg Phillips (True the Vote) can be persuaded to help with the database and/or enlisting people with the know-how to build that national and international database needed to compile and analyze the needed information to bring the criminals to justice. Lindell and Phillips have done a phenomenal job with the election fraud issue. I'm retired military and a trained investigator standing ready to do my part to help as well.

Maybe Musk has some spare software engineers that he could loan for the cause.

Great plan Jeff. Love it ❤ I would also say that we show our voice by doing all we can to not support woke corporations, banks, social media sites, celebrities et al that are a major part of the problem. Money talks. And actively voice our opinions. Like we did with ulta. I plan to ask for an apology from our company board at the next employee meeting in February 2023. Why did they harass and discriminate against unvaxxed employees when the vaxx clearly doesn't stop transmission? I am close to retirement so I don't give a crap if they fire me on the spot. I will speak up for those who aren't in as good of position financially. Stay strong. Never forgive or forget!

Most hospitals everywhere followed those deadly protocols. They had to know they didn’t work!

Granny, the hospital protocols works as designed. Silly.

Jeff, this is genius!!! I love it! I have a name for you for Phase 2...you've probably already heard of him. Tiago Henriques who started the Died Suddenly board on FB that was the fastest growing board of all time. The first one grew to 300k members in a couple of weeks before they shut it down. The new one has almost 200k. The board is all personal stories of jab injuries and deaths...it's very sad because all the stories are so similar from all over the world. He has such extensive IT experience and has many people working for him that all the details of everyone's stories have been backed up and preserved, no matter how many times FB deletes it. I think he would be a great place to start for Phase 2.

For Phase 3 - I love it! I am sending this column to my Dad, who is retired and admittedly bored, lol! He has decades of experience working as a chemist as well as some time in academia. This is a brilliant idea. We need the boomers back to get the groomers out.

We recently had municipal elections. Locally, there were two candidates for mayor.

Political naïveté lost the election for one of "us". She was torn to shreds on media platforms because of her involvement in freedom activities.

We have a way to go

Imagine that. Being torn to shreds for promoting “freedom”. People love their chains it seems.

They pull on the chains, themselves. No one has to enforce compliance.

This points to the institutional capture/recapture that Jeff alluded to in the article. It is not a level playing field at the moment, but the dynamics of Big Media and Big Tech can be changed.

When going thru hell; Keep Moving. Action is the Key, not the keyboard exclusively, but Real World Action with other living, breathing humans, face to face. Start with comments to fellow shoppers in the grocery store if a newby to Action. Go on Offense, it is not a sin to offend, though skillful dialogue may accomplish more positive results.

Jeff is certainly a most positive person and a breath of fresh air blowing out of Florida across many other states and people. I tend to be more belligerant, which wins less new adherents, but cuts to a more bottom line, " Si vis pacem, para bellum" but then Defence never won a war, believe me.

Jeff, several months ago I made a note about a few key pillars I hope we can all work towards changing, which I think will help prevent this stuff from happening again. I like your list a lot, but let’s think about these, too:

1. Limit emergency powers of government sharply

2. Enshrine health freedom into constitution

3. True School choice. Money follows the student

4. Figure out some way to hold people in media accountable legally for censorship and/or outright lying.

Expand full comment

I agree wholeheartedly with these additions! There is absolutely NO reason for the government to have emergency powers in this day and age. Legislators are not riding their horses across states to get the the Capitol to deal with emergencies. Every single member of the legislature can be on a conference call within an hour of an emergency requiring action. They do not need to defer their authority to the executive branch with our current technology. All emergency powers must be revoked!

Agree with all of those points.

The twitter takeover "freebird" is terrible timing for the left. They're losing control of the largest social media platform right before the election.

The promotion for "Died Suddenly" just started.

Even with the heavy censorship "2000 Mules" did pretty well and many people had their eyes opened to the truth behind the 2020 election.

"DIED SUDDENLY" has the potential to blow the whole COVID scam wide open.
