I think there may be a simpler explanation for the mysterious pivot on Fauci. You don't have a history like his of being an authoritative dictator in your industry/field, and using your vast financial influence to bully and punish opponents into silence without creating enemies. Now that he has announced his retirement, and consequently his loss of power, there are going to be plenty of doctors and researchers with their knives out and looking to settle scores. They all know there is easy blood in the water, and even those who were on board with COVID issues will use it as a way to attack him over old grievances that have nothing to do with recent events.

Karma is rough.

Agreed. This man has a 40 year history of bullying medical professionals, destroying careers , lying and outright killing thousands of people thru his pushing of pharmaceutical poisons for profit. The chickens are coming home to roost and there is a big line up to get a pound of flesh out of him.

A real concern is...who will be appointed to replace him? Never assume "things can't get any worse".

I had a dream that Biden was removed from office (I'll keep the method to myself, so as to not put another "x" in my social media profile), and Kamala was immediately installed as president and she picked Michael, I mean, Michele Obama as VP. After that, the avalanches of catastrophic proportions began in earnest, by way of martial law, Executive Orders, bringing old, unheard of laws to the forefront (2012 NDAA, 1991 HJ Res 104, FEMA's unbridled power under martial law, etc) and new laws quickly created by our treasonous Congress. I rarely remember my dreams, so this was quite disturbing. Regardless if my dream means anything, pray and pray some more. We're about to witness God's wrath.

I agree. I predicted that the only way they would let Cuomo go would be if they had someone worse to replace him. We now have Hochul here in New York, she of the never ending states of emergency, who is doing all she can to institute the "quarantine" (i.e. detention) camps that the NYS legislature, corrupt as it is, couldn't even stomach, through the thoroughly corrupt health department, where she can unilaterally and without any due process toss anyone she deems a "danger to public health" for as long as she wants. Cuomo was just a corrupt thug. She appears to be a truly unhinged, power obsessed sociopath.

Like you, I don't believe the cabal will ever give up and all this is but part of their larger agenda. If they create a vacuum, they only intend to fill it with something even more toxic. This is a plan they have been working on since the end of WWII and the Club of Rome. People like Klaus Schwab and Soros have been a part of it since the 1930's.

This is true. The goal, as Obama recited to the UN, is to obliterate the public's confidence in all forms of government. Once they do that, they'll have "no choice" but to restore "peace" by silencing the political dissenters (provided by 2012 NDAA) and institute the "solution" of the One World Government, so ALL nations can be equally oppressed. After all, as Obama also said before the UN, "the average man and woman are just too stupid to rule themselves". It won't be long before the anti-christ is revealed, as he will lead this.

Expand full comment

I don't believe BG fits the parameters laid out in the Bible for THE Antichrist, the Son of Perdition. The Bible says The Antichrist will come from the Middle East (maybe Turkey?), and is "fierce-looking" (ie, strong of countenance) and will be the leader of the one world government and the financial system and is worshipped. Interpretations of "the son of perdition" say that it is someone who claims to be a God-follower, yet their beliefs and actions are exactly opposite, or followed at one time, then denied God's mercy-Judas Iscariot). I believe the Antichrist will be someone associated or within the Vatican. The Bible does refer to many antichrists in the End Times, and BG certainly could be one of them.

Fauci's fall will be great because his pride was over the top! Truth does not change. When pride comes, then comes dishonor. . .the falseness of the treacherous will destroy them. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling. (Prov. 11:2a, 3b, 16:18)

I think you mean Fauci's HUBRIS, not pride. Pride is an order of magnitude too small to characterize his behavior and attitude. There's not a speck of humility in his whole persona. His fall should be spectacularly huge.

That's why I've begun to wonder if they're actually right, and those things are actually essential components for defending western civilization. Not saying they are, but it has me wondering now.

I'm currently interested in the much maligned European history of the pre-nationalist era, before about 1500 AD. We had 10,000 different political units, a homogeneous racial stock, gold and silver currency, and mostly free trade and movement between principalities.

Is Covid over? The health care dictators in Florida’s largest city don’t think so. I was denied service due to my protesting their directive to wear a mask in order to have my annual wellness visit. I was denied access to my doctor of about a dozen years by a bullying staff member, whose name and position I will learn before this is over.

My doctor called me in the evening, having seen me on the schedule; but then no me. She said she asked the office staff why I didn’t show. They attempted to make light of it; ‘She came, but then she had to leave. And look, that frees up your time and you could go out for lunch!’

I’m not the first one this has happened to and my doctor is connecting the dots about why she is losing patients.

Change the C&C name if you want, but Covid is not in the rear view mirror for the jackboots.

I had a dermatologist visit a couple weeks ago and walked in without a mask. The staff literally freaked out. I don't think their reaction would have been any more dramatic had I walked in with a drawn gun. Bottom line, I couldn't see the doctor or even stand in their waiting room until I put on a mask. Then in the exam room, the doctor told me I could take it off. But had to put it back on when I walked out. Sheer insanity. How long will they keep up this charade? The problem is, it's incredibly hard to find health care facilities that aren't insisting on masking. Very frustrating.

Expand full comment

UGH!! Mask theatre is what bothers me the most, I think. The only reason you had to wear the mask is because that doctor's staff is so psychologically damaged from 2 years of propaganda that they come undone at the sight of an uncovered face. That is ridiculous. Medicine will never recover from the Covid debacle.

Several times (a few too many) I spoke up in a store and thanked them for not making me where one and then they freaked out and said “oh no you have to have one one in here, I didn’t notice”🙄. I would just calmly leave. I literally couldn’t wear one more than a few seconds so I gave up wearing them a week after the mandates. I have a true medical condition, claustrophobia. I didn’t need anything bad enough to wear it, (although I suffered through one minute of having it over my mouth to purchase ice cream at a ice cream store in LIBERAL downtown Denver) Those 20 somethings are crazy!

I can't imagine having true claustrophobia and wearing a mask - the few times I've worn them they make me FEEL like I have claustrophobia. It's the dehumanization which gets to me.

And not to veer off too much in politics, but in the wake of this abusive, de-humanizing masking policy, we now have a President blithely condemning approximately half-the population as a threat to democracy.

I think many doctors must worry about getting reported somewhere. My ophthalmologist and I have had talks about all this covid theater and he thinks like I do. However, his office still has to maintain the appearance of masking because there are patients who are mask fanatics who would undoubtedly cause trouble for him. I was in there a couple of days ago, had to mask up to check in, and then when in his office talking to him we both had our masks off. What a joke all this is, I'm so sick of it all.

Funny. Had my annual dental checkup in early August. Got a text message saying I would need to wear a mask. I replied that if I needed to mask maybe I would need to reschedule when the mask was not required. They replied asking if I wanted to cancel but I just let it be. My wife had an appointment also just prior to me and she is not wanting to push the subject so she masked going in. She let the hygienist know that I would not be wearing a mask. I went in for my appointment expecting pushback but no, the hygienist was waiting in the lobby and waived me thru. When I went back last week for my follow-up visit, had a small cavity, there was no longer a masking requirement. I know that the office was just doing that to pacify the Covidians even though I know that is not their position on all things C19 and vaccines. The hygienist also shared that she loved Mexico because you could go into any pharmacy and buy Ivermectin over the counter! Hopefully my refusal was some little piece of the change in this instance.

What state are you in? I'm in Massachusetts and I believe we're still under directives from our fake Republican governor (and former health insurance CEO) Charlie Baker, to force masking in medical and dental facilities. He's the same stooge that ordered an outdoor masking mandate in November of 2020 in our state, no matter how socially distanced. I fled to Florida for the winter, and let him and all my state electeds know why. Recently, my governor announced that the m"NRA" injections had been the linchpin to end this pandemic. He's such a stooge. Even the Republicans in this state don't want him to run again. So he's not. But we're staring down his Democratic Attorney General pal, Maura Healy who will be much worse. If that's even possible. He forced injected all his state police and state workers and wouldn't even accept religious exemptions.

Yesterday I went with my husband to a VA clinic to submit a prescription for glasses. It was total deja vu 2020 walking in there. We had no masks, and were met at the door by a masked door guard who handed us masks with a pair of tongs so she didn't have to touch them. I couldn't resist asking her how long this mask lunacy was going to continue since I wasn't seeing anyone with masks anywhere else and I had not worn a mask myself for 2 years now. She continued with her script, and said she had to ask me if I had felt sick lately, had any fever, yackety yack yack. I replied Nope, I hadn't had of that for 3 or 4 years at least. All the chairs in various waiting rooms were set up as in 2020, with every other one with tape across them so two people wouldn't have to sit next to each other and spread covid cooties. I was feeling incredibly annoyed and amped up by the whole charade, so I rebelled and walked around the whole place with the mask under my chin, daring anyone to challenge me about it. No one did. All the mask zombies appeared not to even notice my transgression and scurried about with their business, mostly looking at the floor. When we walked out of the building, we tossed the masks in the garbage can by the door. So the gooberment is going to carry this to the extremes as expected, not that I'm surprised.

My doctor said they cannot legally require wearing the mask and they cannot deny service. This is in Jacksonville, Florida.

Hmmm...as far as the mask thing goes I guess all we can do is push back and make a pain out of ourselves to them. Make them ask you for it. I used to do that back when everyone was wearing them.

Envy you being in the panhandle! I grew up 25 miles north of the beaches of South Walton. A two lane gravel highway (331 S.)led to Hwy 20 in Freeport, a short jag to the left, back on to 331. I don’t remember Hwy 98, but 30A was a little gravel road about one and a half lanes wide. There was almost nothing built on the beach side of the road. Maybe a mom & pop restaurant, I know there was one small motel. An occasional small cottage, usually cinder block would be across 30A. No parks or facilities. Except for the summer, you could park along the road and walk down between towering dunes to the beach. And you might not see another person on the whole visible stretch. I’m glad I got to see it that way. Work began on Grayson Beach State park in about 1966, I think. The construction went slow, seems like there was a long delay at one point. Maybe the state park put us on the map. So now 50 + years later, so changed.

If they persist I’ll take one and put it on my chin and take it off once I’m in the waiting room or in the exam room. I did this even in the largest hospital group in KC and no one said a word to me. Half the staff had their masks under their nose, hanging on an ear or completely off when they were behind the desk. It’s all a joke.

Pure theatre. I wish we lived near each other, Julie Ann, because I like your gumption!

But then you have the mask nazis who live to order people around. They have special staff to deal with reluctants.

I’m thankful I haven’t had to deal with those!

Please say names - don’t protect these offices. I realize fully that it’s prob not the doctor himself/herself but it’s the staff. Also never leave these places without writing, tweeting, emailing, FBing, etc. to let them know WHY you were denied service and how ridiculous it is. I would love a flyer to hand out/tape to the front door/tape to the bathroom stalls, etc that had all the hard core mask facts - like how more than a 3% gap makes it 0% effective - things like that. Stephen Petty needs to make stickers we can put everywhere - he’d make a fortune - ha!

I’m in Lehigh Acres & looking for a new primary care doctor ( for disability. I have a real out of pocket doctor for actual healing)... the attitude in the office is unbearable. When I go in, I wipe down the door handle and iPad for check in, mask on my ear. The ladies who used to present a Christian attitude now only scowl and blank stares.

Hahahah. You wipe down the door handle and iPad! 😂 I love it! They can’t even see their own hypocrisy!!!

Dana, thank you for sharing the link! I bought two Gibson’s t-shirts. I sent the story and your link to my sister in law in FL, and she bought t-shirts as well.

Oh! In the comments box i signed my note of prayer and God’s blessings with “From a member of the C&C Army.” 🪖

Ok...I'm new here. Is a multiplier like a "Pay it Forward" thing, like the movie, but with information and encouragement and especially compassion?

Expand full comment

A multiplier is when people within the group of Coffee & Covid donate monetarily to a cause, group, or individual of Jeff’s choosing that have stood up during the last 2 1/2 years in various ways. We have multiplied Moms for Liberty; the campaigns of Joe Harding, Ron Johnson, Harriet Hageman, Ron DeSantis; Dr. McCullough, Health Freedom Defense Fund, Feds for Medical Freedom, and Dr Simone Gold. We always donate in a number ending in 2, so that the recipient can see that it all came from one group of people. This also allows people to donate whatever they can - $2, $22, $52, 102, etc. The multiplier is two fold - it allows us to support those who are standing up in a tangible way and it also gives emotional support to the people/groups as they are often suffering for their standing up. It gives them the boost that there is an army of others behind them and to keep fighting! Hope this explanation helps!

regarding the picture: just because there are "Top Secret" labels on top does not mean they are top secret. The FBI could have (probably did) simply grabbed one of the "Top Secret" props they brought with them and placed them on top of a file containing plans for new drapes in one of the rooms.

Expand full comment

Yup, cover sheets with classified markings on them aren't themselves classified. They are simply attached to the front and back of classified docs so they are easier to spot and one doesn't inadvertently leave them out or take them out of a secure facility.

They couldn't show the classified docs themselves (assuming they actually exist) so they set up a photo shoot of the next best thing. There are usually stacks of cover sheets around for easy access, next to printers and the like in closed areas. Anyone could have grabbed them. Note the cover sheets don't describe the contents (intentionally) but are supposed to only show the highest classification level within the attached docs.

This photo proves nothing but was solely intended to cause a media buzz.

Photo doesn’t even prove the agents didn’t bring the docs with them. And what a carpet!

How do we reeeealllly know where that photo was taken? Looks to me like a carpet Hillary would have in her Chappaqua shack (nudge nudge wink wink).

Note also that many of the cover sheets say "SCI" which stands for sensitive compartmented information. To view these docs one must be "read in" to the specific compartment in addition to having the generic secret or top secret clearance. This is an additional clearance that is limited to a much smaller subgroup. There is no generic SCI clearance, but a limited topic-specific clearance that allows one access to the "compartment" (i.e. a specific collection of classified info).

There are dozens of different SCI clearances. It just so happens that the FBI agents on this raid were read into the correct SCI compartment? If not they should not have been rifling through these documents and should have stopped immediately.

Unless, of course, they knew it had all been declassified previously or was phony to begin with.

I used to love Prairie Home Companion until I got a whiff of Garrison Keillor’s political b.s. Back when I had a husband he would work on our vehicles outside on Saturday afternoons and have the radio on NPR. PHC was followed by Car Talk, whose attorneys were Dewey, Cheatem and Howe. Good fun. This nasty perversion that has swept our world has ruined so much fun.

I had boxes of cassette tapes of Prarie home companion, listened with my Dad for years & later we’d talk about it on Sunday when I’d moved out.

In 2004; (would have been ‘W’’s re-election, was it against that joke, Dukakis?) a lefty said something to me about the election still being up in the air (morning after)and I said ‘Where did you get that information? It was called for Bush hours ago.’ She said, ‘From NPR, just now in the car.’ And I said ‘Well, no wonder!’

Apparently the left was hoping, trying to create something they could work with to change the outcome.

So, I could never forget the hanging chads in Florida! That was 2000. George W. Bush was not at all first choice for Conservatives, but of course the GOPe rammed him through. Lots of concern about decline of the culture on the right. Sense of must win. And this crazy hyped up thing about Y2K. What would happen to computers after the clock struck midnight on December 31, 2000? Will all the world markets crash? So dumb. Always the fear mongering.
