The crimes against our young people are many. 1st - they shut them down and took away their youth. No prom, no fun. Mask up. 2nd - they scared them with their "covid boogeyman " tactics. Parents are supposed to ease their young ones fears. Not create them. 3rd - they coerced every chance they got to poison them with their damn shots. Accelerated aging. Thanks Mom! Thanks Dad! My husband and I were the only ones that didn't shut down thru the scamdemic and showed our children and their friends how not to live in fear. We had parties and sleepovers etc. When we moved to SC last month, the young group thanked us. I thoroughly detest the covidians and libbies I used to live with. They have a lot to answer for. 🤬

Someone posted on socialist Nextdoor that her grandson was terrified by predictions made about the eclipse. I responded that the covid agenda foisted on us since 2020 has left people feeling less secure. I referred to the harms done by hospital protocols and the so-called vaccines, just because I enjoy putting such things on Nextdoor. I am always stunned by people who react with the laugh emoticon.

Kind of related, Naomi Wolf had an excellent stack talking about how self-reliance is no longer considered desirable, and instead the push is to 'trust the experts' and an appeal to authority. And the authority does not have our best interests at heart.

"My takeaway is that we are being endlessly conditioned these days, even at our own commonsense peril, to remain vulnerable and dependent on the State during “emergencies” — a term always more expansively defined — and that we are being conditioned too to accept nonsensical reasons to declare “emergency law”, which, recall, is the endgame of any tyranny, and which suspends civil law."

I was listening to Dave Ramsey in my car the other day and a caller was lamenting his choices as his townhome HOA had lost a lawsuit against a shoddy builder and dues were doubling. Dave advised him to sell and get out, and then added, and stay off the neighborhood Facebook group. "Those things are the doorway to the pit of hell." I had to laugh. A couple of friends and I started a neighborhood FB group in 2010 when I was on the Board. I left my admin duties when I left the Board in 2018, as the petty grievances, drama and complaining were just a thorn in my side.

The one thing I might say about that is perhaps she rescues abandoned dogs. I always donate my unused dog and cat food to people and places that rescue.

Expand full comment
Freebird's avatar

I thought of that Kathy, and while I admire people who try to rescue abandoned animals, I have to apply common sense to that as to anything- if you can’t afford to feed them and provide for their needs- how can you truly rescue them? Someone dumped a husky pup on our doorstep last year and as we only had one other dog and the means to care for one more, we took him in and kept him. He’s the sweetest dog ever. So I have a heart for dogs and caring for them but - as you said, you donate food to rescue organizations. That’s how rescuing should work - either have the means yourself, or work with an agency to supply what they need. Don’t go begging your neighbors for dog food.

Donna in MO's avatar

We have a cat that landed on our doorstep, found the owners and took him back a couple of times but they quit answering our calls and so we took him in. They had young kids that we are guessing were mean to him as he was really skittish when we first got him, But he is a sweet kitty and the best mouser ever, and also scores an occasional chipmunk or squirrel, which we are over-run with. So their loss!

I've volunteered at a local shelter for years. There are some jobs (like answering phones or directing walk-ins) that I finally had to say "no more" to, largely because I got tired of hearing the abuse/abandonment/hard luck/etc. stories. I still occasionally ponder why I seemd to tolerate it well enough for a few years, but eventuallly the idiocy of people took a toll on me. I'm grateful to be able to donate my time and (some) money, but I draw the line at sacrificing my peace of mind.

Eh, not always. Kids have overactive imaginations, and sometimes develop irrational fears. My little sister went through a phase where she was sure there was a monster in her bedroom closet. My son woke us up in the middle of the night saying he was afraid terrorists were going to crash a plane into our house a few weeks after 9/11 - he was 6 years old. We did NOT have the TV with the footage on when the kids were around, as we thought they were too young, but he had seen footage while playing at a friend's house.

If they had friends or family affected, they would never admit it. That would mean admitting that they fell for the big lie and were wrong. Not only that, it would mean everything we warned them about is true, and that’s terrifying.

By the way, this is similar to them admitting that all vaccines are harmful—more harmful than beneficial. During the plandemic when I was posting research links on FB about the clot shot, I had a HS friend PM me to try to talk me into getting it. We had a long discussion, one of which was about the other vaccines. Her child was vaccine-damaged (ended up with autism very close to getting a round of them). She said that she’d done a deep dive into vaccine safety and had concluded they weren’t the cause. I would say they probably were. She was trying to convince me that it would be fine to encourage my teen who had seizures as a child the clot shot.

Yeah, no.

I felt sorry for her, and truly any parent whose child is vaccine-injured. The guilt must be unbearable even though they’re safe and effective, they really aren’t.

My twenty-something children (especially my extroverted son) were privy to tons of info amongst their peers about the "clot shot" in 2021. My son also was alarmed that the shot could involve a change in one's DNA. The grown kids were on it. Even so, I was quite vocal about my objections to anyone needing a vaccine, ESPECIALLY after overcoming a natural infection. I made sure to talk to them, message them, e-mail them and overall be a monitor since I get 99% of my news from alternative and government-censored sources whereas they do not.

My daughter was a sophomore in college during lockdowns. She had 2 full years of college completely effed up. She did her own research on the jab and told me that she didn't think she'd get the jab because she thought it would damage her fertility. Thank God for this child of mine. Thankfully she was going to school in central FL and they didn't mandate the shots, but they really were pushing all the woke garbage to the point where she would just lie and say she got the jab. She still had to subject herself to weekly covid tests and I worried about those chinese made swabs and what they might have introduced into her body. The equally bad thing that happened was that half the kids left school because their parents didn't want to pay exhorbitant tuition costs for online classes when the family lived in the same state. I mean, I get it, but these kids transferred to community colleges, lost half their credits and either never graduated or are still in school part time trying to complete their degree. Its absolutely criminal what they did to these poor kids. I told my daughter - you will NOT transfer, and at the time we were moving from the hellscape that is Chicago to Florida where we had been stationed years ago. She graduated in 2022 - her friends came to her graduation - the ones who transferred, and hadn't graduated. She said to me later Mom, i'm so grateful you didn't let me transfer - I told her failure was not an option. I hope this generation is angry enough to clean house and vote out all the reprobates who have made our country a 2 tier justice system. I also think the militia idea will catch on

My niece did drop out for a semester at OU after many of her classes that switched to online in the fall of 2020 were terrible. She did stay in her apartment near campus and took a few of her gen eds from the local community college in the spring of 2021 as they had been doing online courses for some time and she said they were way better than what OU had cobbled together. But she did go back and got her degree, just a semester late. Some of her sorority sisters did end up dropping out and never did finish, though. She has a good head on her shoulders and never did buy into any of the fear porn, but she is and remained a conservative, unlike my daughter who is older and already out of school in 2020 and has turned into a leftist.

I hear this story over and over again. I'm glad your niece was able to persevere. I'm sorry about your daughter - I have other kids that turned left as well, got jabbed, etc. And you're right, the schools that had online courses already in place did way better than the liberal arts schools who had no clue how to do it online. These professors used it as a vacation to be lazy - one prof moved to England and taught from there, with a ridiculous 6 hour time change and kept altering the syllabus and assignments in the wee hours of the night, stressing the kids beyond belief - nobody should be doing that! The infrastructure of the online courses kept crashing and required multiple layers of authentication, adding layers of frustration, not to mention wifi going down and overall connectivity problems. It's a miracle any kids graduated at all.

Yeah, she said OU was a cluster. She ended up dropping a couple of classes as she was failing as there was almost no opportunity to ask questions or get help - profs just mailed it in and didn't care. I think she did consider just dropping out, came home for spring break and then ended up staying home for a couple of weeks and doing her online classes at home but my sister kicked her in the tail and told her to go back.

Not sure what happened to my daughter. She was in and out of college for 7 years, 3 different schools, no idea what she wanted to do and finally earned her medical coding certificate from a local CC. Probably has enough credits for a bachelor's but she does really like what she does now and has gotten a promotion and makes good money & has a strong work ethic.

Something similar happened in my younger son's Boy Scout troop in 2021 when we still lived in Michigan. It was a summer hike.

Everyone was required to have their temperature taken prior to the hike. (Strike One). Mask wearing was strongly advised but not mandated. Pretty much everyone with the exception of my son, me, and a few others opted in. (Strike Two).

During the hike, my unmasked son approached one of the masked scouts to talk to him. The kid literally flipped out, screaming at my son to get away from him. The kid's father just stood there, watching the spectacle. My normally stoic son was nearly in tears. (Strike Three).

I pulled my son out of the troop after that. It's tragic what was done to this generation.

I remember the nuclear scare in the 1950s and fall out shelter mania. I as a seven or eight year old told my father that I thought we should build a fall out shelter in the basement. My dad, a clear headed man, said we didn't need one. I relaxed a little after that.

At the elementary school, they had us crawling under desks. Because 'they' the Russians might nuke the prime national defense industry located in our little town, the leather mills. Or hit a strategic target like the tiny grass runway 'airport' where the Piper Cubs and Beechcraft mono-planes used to hang out.

Looking back, 'they' the nascent Deep State were already experimenting on us. But things did not pick up speed unto 1963 and the JFK coup d'etat.

Although I was too young for the 50s-60s Civil Defense theater, we had a brief reprise in the 1980s during the Reagan years. A bit of background: by then I was in my mid-20s and had just completed a tour in Army. I'd also read a few books about nuclear war &c. over the years. The Reagan administration actually pitched at one time that digging a hole in one's back yard and covering it with a door was a viable emergency shelter. It's really a sick joke; much closer to reality is that in the event of any major nuke war your life expectancy would likely be at best days or weeks, and that's if you'd even taken basic CD precautions. Some would survive probably, a very few, but life at that point would be nothing to envy.

I can't remember how long people with fallout shelters were supposed to live in them if there was a nuclear war. They were supposed to listen to the radio (!) to find when they could exit.

Let's see! And for me this was early elementary school, and there was Burt the Turtle and Duck and Cover. And I knew what Turtle and Duck were. But I never did figure out what kind of animal Cover was. And then there was Silent Night ... and words 'Round John Virgin, mother and child' ... and like I thought it was one big family ... Fat John, the mother and the kid. (Hum? And in case the above raises suspicions, DeWife still thinks that I am clueless. But just you wait! One of these days I'm going to fool her good!)

On one level, as an elementary school child, I thought the whole thing of Duck and Cover was pretty stupid. On another level, I was scared that the Dirty No Good Commies were coming to get me. I could not see quite how. But maybe? But when my dad told me we really didn't need a fallout shelter, I began to think that my first thoughts on Stupid, Stupid, Stupid were down the right ally.

And come to think of it, C19 was really no more than a souped up Bert the Turtle and Duck and Cover operation. The common denominator is the fear component. And 'they' run the same stuff over and over, and Lucy always pulls the football away at the last moment. And we fall for it again and again. Totally amazing.

A huge tornado came through in front of the house one night when my parents were out bowling. (That was the '50s!) My grandmother pushed me and my sister under a bed and slid in behind us. To that day, I have been claustrophobic. The parents came home unscathed, but the garage crushed my grandmother's new car. (It was separate from the house.)

My son was a senior in 2020–in deep blue WA. Our school district would not allow any kind of celebration whatsoever but tried to make picking up their diplomas a celebratory event. They encouraged the students to wear their caps & gowns & set up a stage, balloon arc & podium in the parking lot. As we pulled in, we saw every single staff member wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts. So after all they stole from these kids (prom, commencement, etc.) the message wasn’t “Congratulations!” but “our virtue signaling is more important than any of you.” It was disgusting, depressing and the catalyst for all of us leaving that liberal cesspool of a town. Fortunately, my son went to GCU in Phoenix where they did their best to make life normal, didn’t require the vax and had in person classes. But the damage had been done.

I was having a discussion somewhat like this at my art class last night. Although both are pretty left, they are nice as long as we don’t talk politics. We weren’t talking politics last night. Instead, we were discussing death. Her only son died at 31 from an enlarged heart—I didn’t ask how long ago, but she’s 70, so most likely pre-pandemic, and my sister was killed in a car accident 1.5 months before her 28th birthday some 30 years ago. We both came to the conclusion from these experiences that, when it’s your time to go, there’s nothing that can be done.

So, locking down will not stop death if it’s your time. When Gruesome told everyone to stay home and away from family, I encouraged everyone to go because nothing is guaranteed in this life. Also, why should I, a healthy, fit person, have to lock down for someone who is not? I have no control over their genetics, their eating habits, their lifestyle, their health, etc. It would be better for them to stay home if they’re concerned. If I were to get sick, then I’d stay home (and be immune). I didn’t get sick, by the way. So.

Living in fear is worse on you physiologically than living your life with gusto. You may as well live it with gusto because, when you’re called, that’s it.

From what I understand the degree of flexibility in the tubing required to advance through your GI system can only be achieved by a certain type of flexible tubing which cannot be sterilized. However, I’ve been out of healthcare for almost 14 yrs now so there is a possibility that has changed. Please advise if this practice has changed.

This has been obsessing me lately! My last mammogram was three years ago and I balk at getting them. Exposure to the diagnostic radiation statistically raises your chance of a positive diagnosis 1%. But early detection saves lives they say. And aside from lumps there are no symptoms. If I wait and I do have cancer, it’ll be all up in my lymph nodes and advanced. A dilemma I’d like to resolve.

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick has written a lot about this. Survival rates aren't any better with early detection. I have opted out of Mammograms for over 10 years now after reading his work. Here's a link: https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2012/09/14/breast-screening-the-truth/

Wife will never get another mammogram. No cancer book supports them. Get a Thermograph instead. Will also detect cancer at a much lower threshold. Ultrasound is a good test for breast cancer too, but Medicare and insurance typically won't pay for it unless you get a mammogram first.

Julie Ann B's avatar

Do you do monthly self breast exams? If you do, you become very adept at finding something that has changed or feels different. A self breast exam also involves looking at your exposed breasts for any signs of dimpling or creases you didn’t previously have. You can still miss something but so can a mammogram. Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

Exactly. Cancer is a lifestyle disease. You don't catch it. It is caused by a lack of vitamins, enzymes, and oxygen. It's your body's last ditch attempt to save you, wake you up to change your lifestyle. And unless it is in a place where it blocks something that can kill you, ie. intestines., tumor size is a BS worthless measurement. My wife still has her tumor, ~ 20 % smaller and her breast is smaller, but the cancer cells in it are dead, and she is in full remission. That is normal after you kill the cancer cells. But these clowns in lab coats measure the tumor and use that as The measure of curing cancer, when cancer is systemic. Shrunk the tumor 50%.? Success!.

I also think we are never going to get anywhere until people stop looking at illness and disease as normal. Most people seem fine assuming that becoming chronically ill is just a normal part of growing older, or to be diagnosed with a complex disorder at a young age is no big deal because we can just down a cocktail of drugs for it. There is also a trend in recent years, that I loathe, of turning certain disorders into one’s entire identity rather than looking at them as something they live with. I’ve seen language in circles that if you mention wanting to “cure” said condition, it means you want to “eradicate” that “identity of people”. It’s ridiculous. Please, by all means…find every root cause and completely eradicate Crohn’s and POTS and MCAS from the world, I won’t be offended! Seriously, how are we ever going to get anywhere in research or education regarding root causes or preventing people from getting these conditions in the first place when people actually *want* to have the conditions?

She found my hashimotos but didn’t have an answer for the HBP I figured out through a Mercola article that being keto and low carb, IF and fasting for too long required stress hormones of cortisol and adrenaline to supply glucose. The metabolism uses the stress pathway to supply energy then. This requires lowering metabolism to save organs, brain, bones, etc. this is not optimal and causes thyroid damage, stress on arteries, stress on everything. The body and brain runs and produces more ATP at the mitochondrial level on sugar/glucose. Using gluconeogenisis to make glucose is a suboptimal process much less energy. I was running my body 24/7 on stress hormones. Anxiety. Bad sleep, thin bones (2 surgeries for breaks in 3 years) hashimotos, HBP, and gained weight. Keto can cause insulin resistance in time. I underate to a massive degree. Metabolism tanks then. It works for a while because you get off toxic food and make lifestyle changes. Carnivore is the same. Never mind Shawn baker. He will tank eventually. I was 11years on this. The minute I started 3 meals a day I slept like a rock. My cholesterol has dropped 40 points. I eat fruit and juice again and potatoes. Raising my food intake slowly. I just had labs and will see my functional doc in a couple of weeks. We may have an interesting talk.

Super conveniently, he was able to reveal this ( most spies aren’t allowed to reveal their secrets) because the hard working intrepid reporters at the nyt published their big story on the cia network in Ukraine shortly before hunter’s revelations. So did the cia compromise their operation just to give hunter an out?

“To you, O men, I call,

And my voice is to the sons of men.

O simple ones, understand prudence;

And, O fools, understand a heart of wisdom.

Listen, for I will speak noble things;

And the opening of my lips will reveal upright things.

For my mouth will utter truth;

And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

By me kings reign,

And rulers mark out righteousness.

By me princes rule, and nobles,

All who judge rightly.

I love those who love me;

And those who earnestly seek me will find me.

When He established the heavens, I was there,

When He marked out a circle on the face of the deep[.]

So now, O sons, listen to me,

For blessed are they who keep my ways.

Hear discipline and be wise,

And do not neglect it.

How blessed is the man who hears me,

To watch daily at my doors,

To keep watch at my doorposts.

For he who finds me finds life

And obtains favor from Yahweh.

But he who sins against me does violence to his own soul;

All those who hate me love death.”

But then Pizer swept in with $1 million donation and after that he never returned their phone calls. And as we know he is still bragging above warp speed and has never said a word about what we know now about how dangerous and deadly those jabs are.

To me it seemed totally plausible, not like fiction, and was terrifying. I never told anyone, just said "I don't think that's the right decision for my body at this time"

And as some of you may already know, they actually made a lot in France where anyone who criticizes any mRNA technology can end up with up to three years in jail and a €45,000 fine. Talk about about totalitarianism. Meanwhile, there is evidence that monoclonal antibodies are fantastic for colorectal cancer. Remember those? Our governor DeSantis tried to make them available for people suffering from Covid. Of course they didn’t want us to have it, because it probably worked! And then they would not have been able to get the emergency use authorization for the jabs.

I was able to get monoclonal antibodies towards the end of a mild case of Covid in late spring of 2021. Had to drive to Kissimmee area from Canaveral to find availability.

One study I read on the mRNA cancer jabs is that they only extend life by maybe 2 years, but for those 2 years the side effects are horrible.

People would have better luck taking ivermectin without the side effects. But not too much money in that.

I’m also worried about shedding. We know that the Covid jabs shed so why wouldn’t the cancer one shed too?

mRNA side effects may include:

Sequestration of your bodily carbon in a serene, park-like setting

Greening of the environment caused by cessation of breathing

The elimination of pesky un-funded government Social Security and veteran's benefits . . .

Have been following RT on and off for years now. (I find it to be a very good newsite)

Curious how things have flip flopped.

Many years ago, Putin was enthusiastic to have good relations with 'God fearing' USA..he looked up to us on this point.

This was the time he was trying to undo the dark decades of atheism, and was bringing back Russia to its original Christian roots..he remarked at some point how he was surprised that the moral values of the USA were no longer what they once were.

McDonalds in Russia.

Once the Western countries left, locals took over and revamped.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_MfcQN0MCs&t=351s Watch as Lisa shows you a $4 meal. She notices how the ingredients have improved for the buns, cheese, and meat.

(Note Russia bans GMO foods). Funny to see all White staff and customers. The toys, adverts and signage just depicts White people too (i.e. correctly representing the population).

Happy kids, no drama, no visible tattoos. Watch the whole vid if you're interested and her other vids about grocery stores and what they have (she often compares to Western choices).

Meanwhile a McD in the states will never show a White guy in an ad and they serve the lowest GMO slop. Two countries going opposite directions.

I brought up the disparity in the negro population in reality (12%) versus the actual population in ads shown on network television in prime time (80%) and was banned on farcebook. Twitter banned me for life because I had the audacity to point out that the prison population 88% black males is 6% of the population doesn't show racism, but an actual fault with the race. I know I'm horrible but facts are pesky little things aren't they?

History has something to do with this I think. Groups who have been used to being dominated, tend to become morally weak in some sense if they don't have strong leadership to help them. The breakdown of the family with no active fathers of good example (thought to be deliberately targetted to them) shows that there is no strong leadership in their communities, as there once were.

Thing is, and this can be blamed on white liberals, they have been told for decades they are victims. I would guess Thomas sowell and Ben Carson would disagree. But if one is raised to believe you don’t stand a chance because of hue, you probably give up pretty early. I don’t know how you combat the din. Press is owned, advertising is owned, basketball is owned, music is owned. And those owners have more to do with it than anything. Control the narrative. Here we are.

Granted I was in the Moscow McDonald’s in 1991 but the thing that jumped out at me was the size (length) of the individual French fries. None longer than an inch to inch and a half. Just made with tiny potatoes. Another anecdote from 1991- when the Pizza Hut was first opening, it couldn’t pass the restaurant inspections because there were not enough sinks to wash all the dishes. The inspector had never seen an automatic dishwasher in a restaurant before. Times have changed.

We now have our 5th cancer diagnosis in our small building of 30 employees. All vaccinated (teachers). 3 with breast cancer, one who died of a “rare” heart tumor. And one of the recently diagnosed ladies with breast cancer had already had a tumor on her face removed a year ago.

I'd never heard of heart tumors until Dr. William Makis wrote about them, and some other rare cancers in the vaxxed, several months ago. Very soon after reading his post, I learned that a friend's relative was in the hospital with a heart tumor, which led to his death. The friend is blind to the covid/vaccine agenda and does not want to hear about it.

My colleague had a tumor surrounding his heart. Very very rare supposedly, but he also had been vaxxed and boosted cuz he was scared to death of catching covid. So sad.

Cancer of the blood vessels of the heart is very common in certain breeds of dogs, like golden retrievers. I’ll bet ivermectin would be helpful with that condition. Or fenbendazole (I think the veterinary drug has a different name)

The industry used to dig beyond that stifling level of intellectual curiosity.....now our journalists are paid to not dig. Who in their right mind goes to legacy media to get their beliefs these days? There is literally no difference between the nightly news and the commercials that break it up, just the avenue of payment.

The "corporate" media is really just government-controlled media, set up to look like competing sources of information. (Not coincidentally, the same basic concept as GOP vs. DNC.) Ever notice how some things are never allowed to be spoken on the MSM? Like, vaccines are not good for you or our leaders make millions off of illegal wars. And if you do, you get the Tucker treatment.

So far as I can tell, it works like this: the government takes our tax dollars, grants the money to Rx companies to conduct "studies" (on things no one in their right mind would ever want to be studied), and the Rx co's funnel some of that money back to the media co's to keep them afloat. Every single program is sponsored by Pfizer. Not a coincidence.

MSM has lower viewership per program than many Substacks like this one. And yet somehow they continue to not only survive but pay all those talking heads millions per year to lie and pay all that overhead of buildings, sets, cameras, etc. It's all just another gov't Ponzi scheme.
