"Active duty service member holds up a sign saying "I do this under duress" while the experimental injection goes into his arm, because he needs to support his family and can't afford to lose his livelihood.

But they "didn't force anyone".

It was a "Sophie's Choice" for the active duty military.

Not only would they be tossed from the military and their family would starve, but there were evil officers who made sure the service member received less than honorable discharges that could strip away VA benefits...like health care, VA home loan, education benefits, etc.

Our son in law was told by the army that he would have to pay back the money the army spent on his masters degree and any other post graduate work he had done if he was kicked out for refusing the vax. I worry the long range impact on his health the shots have had.

Yes, you are right!

First, the function of government was stolen from the American people by a series of coup d'etat and usurpations throughout the 20th and 21st, a long slippage into the horrors of oblivion. That Americans, Westerners cannot distinguished between 'God made Man and Woman' and nothing else is prime metric signal of how deep the West has slide into the pit. Evil has gripped so much that your remark is very trenchantly germane.

The difference between Germany of the 30s and 40s period is that Americans, many of them, are fighting back against The Darkness. And so, maybe there is some hope such as appears to have been absent in National Socialist Germany.

Although your point as to histories is well-taken, particularly as to the post-WWII nonsense 'official histories' as represented by such a Shirer and Bullock ... surely you understand that there are differences between America today and Germany of the Third Reich. Differences in factors of control, reach of control ... especially given the Internet which still has a free sector of expression in spite of the rigour which was exerted to knock the whole thing down. Differences in international character, disposition of things, again as to communications and connectivity. The BRICS break-away, walk-away, for example, could not have happened in the 20th century context. And BRICS Plus is a game changer in and of itself.

And I don't think that we are necessarily making blanket judgments as to entires population en mass, but rather considering differences on balance which effect the movement of history.

They didn’t want to know the truth. They saw their neighbors disappear during the night and no one talked about it. I have always wondered about the “good German”. Patriotic, law-abiding, professing to be Christian, and yet so willing to look the other way when great evil was percolating through their society. Are we really any different? How many times have we gone to war against countries we were told were our enemies? I never questioned any of it. I too am guilty of indifference. We are a world empire but it comes with a price, our very souls. And those who had atrocities committed against them are now doing the same to others with the full support of the American people.

They pretended it was legal because they pretended they were giving Comirnaty. They even falsified labels. Comirnaty wasn't and I think still isn't being produced; they were using the production methods for the experimental batches, not the "approved" Comirnaty protocols.

So the standards for things like contamination by DNA plasmids was different, among other things.

They had to pretend it was Comirnaty because they couldn't force people to partake in an experiment against their will.

It was an unlawful order, given by the entire chain of command.

Which is why it's taught by the Army through such phrases as the one you criticized, to E-0s and up. Not everyone is taught those values at home, by far.

The FBI's motto is Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. We can see what happens in our daily lives today when we don't teach proper values, don't teach doing the right thing all the time, regardless of whether we're being observed or not.

Edit to add that I think we would probably agree on more than we would disagree, and I in no way mean to be contentious! The troops that lived by these values have my admiration and respect.

The military are charged with upholding the Constitution for the United States which turn means upholding a constitutional law order, inclusive of Higher Law being God's Law upon which the American republics were founded.

So the primary distinction is between what is Law, and what is legal (which may be Lawful or not), and color of law which in not Law and problematically 'legal'.

In today's degraded and degenerate atmosphere by current 'habit and custom' law has become a thicket of chaotic legalisms. But in my book, and looking back to the original law habit and customs of the Americans, I would say that the entire military today is entirely rogue and color of law.

If I had been in the military, I would not have taken the shot. Sure, the consequences of refusal were overwhelming. But here's the thing. Once can recovery from very hard times but maybe no so from shattered health. And in retrospect, I suspect there are an awful lot of military folks who now wish that they had chosen the hard road by which to travel.

The son-in-law would have had to say 'then do it'. Most people wouldn't or think that they can't. And unfortunately, almost everyone is not educated enough in Law to know what or even begin to know what their probable recourse might be. Once I had become vice-chair of the Constitution party then directed by the late Howard Phillips, and began to read law, I had no idea. I now believe, that with enough knowledge, one would have gone through the meat grinder but come out whole or close to on the 'other side'. The thing would be to know enough law so as to make 'them' begin to have pause at what one might do to 'them'. But what do I know?

Here's another similar case. In this interview, Jerome Corsi talks about his refusal to cave and 'cooperate' with the corrupt court as is related to efforts in knocking off Trump with regard to the Mueller witch hunt. Corsi had more guts than most people I have ever met. And I know that his wife was one hundred percent supporting of his position, an incredible woman. The whole interview is interesting.

Yes, I understand this. And truly, one does not know what one will do until confronted with a situation. And age, experience and knowledge retention and skills make huge differences.

All I can tell you is that I knew in 2020 that 'the pandemic' was all a sham because I ran the mortality figures. And guess what? No rise in mortality. And this was before the Death Jabs.

I have always been bull headed, unyielding to bullies and tyrants. Even as a kid, I'd rather get bloodied and lose a fight rather than given in. I sometimes would terrify my mom as when I stood up to some seven men who tried to throw us off our land the time when we came to look at the building project progress (actually not progressing and that was the problem). They had done stuff like that before and were astonished that I could not be intimidated. My poor mom. Never ever saw her so upset. But that was not the end of the story. The thing when on to a legal action, and our lawyer told me to go and get some supoenas served. So I went into the Clerk of the Court office and said my piece and the lady said, "Oh, we can't do that." The Clerk of the Court comes out and it's the same song and dance. So I waltz up street to the library and the code books and waltz right on back. I recite title and section to the Clerk and say, "What are you going to do about it?" Awhile later I meet with the lawyer and he says, "That clerk! He doesn't want to mess with you." Well, I just don't like losing and bending to nonsense. Because once one goes down that avenue, there's no end to walking around on one's knees. And given that incontrovertible, incontestable fact, I have to say it makes me very sad that the guy caved into the military intimidation.

I still won't give into anything not right because if I do, I know that there would be nothing left to me. I simply refuse to live life as a shattered mirror. Given into these bastards and they keep coming. Sometimes it just got to be either/or. And no being a pussy and taking one's lumps ... no matter what.

But wait! Times change! I'm almost at the point where I don't have the stamina to fight back, especially physically save maybe a little scrape. So one eventually hits a wall. But at least I can look back and see a good record.

Straight from the commander and chief. Barf to say that. Do you have any idea how many 'vaccines' they are all forced to get? Even the kids who attend daycare on base have to 'be all caught up' on their vaccines. Makes me sick. Hubs was USN and that was one of the reasons why he was not thinking clearly when his company mandated that all his crew get the jab. He was used to them and not even thinking critically about what they were doing to his body. I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off sounding the alarm (you know, like headless chickens do?) but I swear...after that first shot of coercion into his arm, I was ready to look up bad stuff to do to his dumb company.

His faith is greater than mine … he says that the service comes before one’s own concerns.

Technically, it _wasn't_ forced, but it _was_ heavily pressured/coerced. I do know people who took at least the initial dose of the shots because they thought they had no choice if they wanted to keep their jobs. They did have a choice and as it shows now, if everyone had just said "no", the mandates would have been hard to enforce. Of course, you had the huge psy-op from the MSM helping things along so ... it was a huge amount of pressure on people to get the shots or else.

At least in the US, we didn't get to the point of rounding up people and arresting them for refusing the shots.

If they admit culpability they will be sued by injured patients. They have too much to loose. Doctors will fall long before big pharma does.

The headlines in my head ‘Doctor takes money from the government to push the shots, patients sue doctor for loved ones death, or their own jab injuries, doctor goes bankrupt.’ ‘Hospitals kill people with remdesivir and ventilators, yet received money from the government every time someone died. Families sued, hospitals bankrupt, now owned by even larger corporations’.

What I’ve noticed is that if the comment is hidden under a “more comments” box or “replies” box, the search feature won’t take you to it. If it’s a top line comment, it goes directly there.

“San Francisco proposal would allow lawsuits over grocery store closures.”

People would be able to sue grocery stores for not being able to survive being legally robbed ad infinitum, but the vaxx-injured and their families can’t sue pharmaceutical corporations for permanently disabling or killing them?! That sounds about right in Upside-Down-Bizarro-Clown-World 🙃🤡

C&C Army, I know how much compassion you have for the vaxx-injured community (unlike the gaslieting media). I have created a piece for them that I hope you can use to raise awareness about their suffering, share resources for mitigating injuries (see the Resources section), and generate support for vaxx-injured individuals and the organizations supporting them:

• “Lament of the Vaxx-Injured”: https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/lament-of-the-vaxx-injured

I packed 251 links into 621 words to share as many stories and as much evidence as possible in an accessible manner. In addition to comforting those who are suffering, the poem can be used to help advance the cause of justice and awaken people to the crimes that have been committed.

In my exchanges with normies, I have found the one topic they tend to soften on is the vaxx-injured. They can’t dismiss their suffering or existence without violating their sense of compassion, so this poem could potentially be used to pry open the hearts and minds of the sleeping as well.

I was inspired to write this after reading Heather Hudson’s heartrending account of what her son, Cody, has suffered:

https://amothersanthem.substack.com/p/congress-the-cdc-the-fda-and-the

Cody is putting up the fight of his life, and they have sacrificed everything to try and cover the perpetually mounting medical bills. They would make a wonderful candidate for a multiplier (let Jeff know if you think that’s a good idea :-)

https://www.givesendgo.com/Amothersanthem

Meanwhile, just shining a light on the mistreatment and misery of the vaxx-injured would help them immensely because the media is doing everything possible to invisibilize them.

I thought of another solution should SF pass that nonsense: Let's say a chain, like Whole Foods, has one store in that situation. (They don't any more, but it's an example.) The company could franchise that one store or use some other method of disconnetcing it from the company (sorry, I don't know about how that is done) and then people could sue the one grocery, not put the chain out of business.

And I saw your post on the jab injured. Outstanding. I think of jabs as attempted murder, or murder when the person dies.

My thought would be - just stay open, put up the notices, don’t stock the shelves, or very little, then put up sold out signs until next delivery day. Not officially closed, but nothing to sell.

Such a great piece MAA! I will share it. Glad to hear you’re on the mend. It can take awhile depending on age. an honest neurosurgeon told my husband, who was suffering from a back injury, to give it 4 months to heal, along with pt. It could take that long for the body to heal at his age - early 70’s. Sure enough that’s what it took. It helped that he’s very healthy, strong & active due to a disciplined lifestyle & no pharmaceuticals.

So the idea of trashing inner cities so oligarchs can buy them out for pennies on the dollar....

In Commiefornia, Gruesome Newsom has been pushing more city-like building in our 'burbs. My once conservative small-town is rapidly becoming just like Los Angeles.

My family won the trifecta - my sister got turbo cancer, her daughter has POTS and my 28 year old daughter-in-law got myocarditis from the vax. I try to comment about the gain-of-function research that gave us covid on the Wall Street Journal and had a record 3 comments deleted yesterday for violating their community standards. The added angst about the cost of living skyrocketing prompted me to comment "the end is your friend." They didn't like that either.

Jeff can we shed some light in this often addressed C&C subject: An important factor in the gender dysphoria equation-- Bisphenols (plastics), Atrazine (Round-Up) and other endocrine disrupting chemicals alter sexuality even in the womb (by triggering aromatase to dominate the body with estrogen). So, Yes this is a social issue, but the corporate oligarchs would much rather have us fighting over pronouns than addressing the chemical root of the problem. Here is a 2008 PBS documentary (they have scrubbed from PBS website) about bisphenols (gov has since clamped down on Bisphenol A, but there are multiple bisphenols). And you can watch 2014 NPR Tyron Hayes, Silencing the Scientists (now taboo for NPR to admit) regarding "CHEMICAL CASTRATION."

In the very short amount of time I spent in NYC (a few months) I can completely agree that the police would not bother with a drunk in a trash can. In San Francisco, they'd probably install more trash cans for the purpose of giving seating to drunks/druggies/illegals and would fine or arrest anyone who tried to put trash in it.

If that insane grocery thing passes in SF, I think all grocery owners would have to do is stop ordering and stop stocking. It's hard to loot anything when the is nothing to loot. Where do these morons get these ideas? And how exactly does forcing them to stay open another 6 months not still cause the same problem when they do close? Does anyone in SF in any branch of government or authority have a working brain?

The reason for the grocery store nonsense from 2 San Francisco supervisors is because a grocery store has said it is closing which would leave the neighborhood it is in without a grocery store. I believe the city already made a deal with the store to delay closing for awhile. I don't think crime is an issue with that particular store. The Whole Foods market discussed is a different issue.

The supervisors in question are trying to get votes. Peskin is running for mayor and pretty much everyone is fed up with Dean Preston who I believe is up for reelection.

This kind of grandstanding is typical of almost the entire board of supervisors which is one of the reasons why San Francisco is so badly governed.

Well just cause the store has to post signs doesn't mean they have to stock the shelves. The way people steal in CA, if this passes, why bother.

Expand full comment
Deb S's avatar

I had the same thought! I’m guessing those who wrote the new ordinance were too stupid to include language about maintaining stock, so the store hires a security guard to sit in the empty store for six months (still a stupid thing to have to do), and then they lock the doors at six months. It gives everyone the opportunity to do the same and in six months, all stores are closed. They just accelerated the exodus.
