Scientist tells Fauci cloth masks don't work; dodges FOIA; while a senator got deplatformed for saying it out loud; Treasury's welfare cutoff roils Dems; a hero emerges from the sea; much more.
As a counterpoint, I was one of the 1% of physicians who did not believe the mask and vaccine baloney, and I told patients and friends as much. I want from 35 patients a day to 5 a week because people were afraid to mix in my waiting room, fearing contagion. I relinquished my license in July 2020 after 45 years of practice. I saw what organized medicine and government health "experts" had done to our profession, and I could no longer be a part of such a system.
Same here. I spent way too much time reassuring anxious parents that their children were not at risk of dying from Covid or should not be given the jab, educating my colleagues that someone who had recovered from Covid 4 weeks ago was ok to be seen by them now for their mechanical low back pain, that a whole family who was asymptomatic did not need Covid tests just because they were exposed to a friend whose brother had Covid, that the number of cycle times we were doing on the PCR test for Covid was set arbitrarily too high and was identifying fragments of Covid spike protein from people who had successfully recovered from Covid weeks earlier, that classifying patients who had been run over by a bus or shot in the chest and who had a Covid test performed in the emergency room that was positive DID NOT MEAN THEY DIED FROM COVID, ad infinitum.
In California I risked losing my license had Newsom’s medieval law passed regarding physician’s disseminating “false information”.
And Dr. Drass. I hate the idea of losing physicians who have long experience with actual medicine and the perverse manipulation of it. We need your wisdom!
Wasn’t it just painful! I was on repeat. Our businesses were turned into the ‘Covid response team’ in Olympia WA. I fielded so many phone calls when people would turn us in for not requiring patrons to wear a mask. Not handing out masks. Not having hand sanitizer at the entry for all customers. The list goes on. It was costly as a small business owner. We were threatened by the Covid team that they would send an under cover team member to evaluate our store. I welcomed them and said we do not discriminate and that they will be treated like everyone else. Happy to keep taking your calls. I stayed vague and friendly. When we refused service to the CEO of the local hospital the calls increased because people were turning us in for refusing service 😂 bring it on! It was an intense time
During Covid, my middle aged group of men took our normal basketball played indoors to outdoor courts (here in PNW). We would rotate different public school courts. And yes we played unmasked.
Twice, someone called the police on us for being unmasked. Both times we softly told police to bug off. And the cops left. Weird times.
The other wild thing I recall was hearing about some of my wife’s friends - who came home with groceries and then spraying outside of packages in garage with windex before bringing inside. There was also concern at my office about receiving courier parcels from Asia, especially China. Was the virus lurking on the exterior of the package? We humans are such sheep!
Videos like this one from early 2020 scared the crap out of people.
I remember videos of people describing being sick with covid that it was just like a cold, & then suddenly, those videos disappeared. I remember DeBlasio telling people in NY to go to the theatre, out to eat, it was ok! Also remember Nancy Pelosi standing in the middle of a bunch of oriental people saying it was ok to celebrate the Chinese New Year, etc, etc, etc. Then that all changed, & people were being arrested for walking around outside.
I never have gotten to the bottom of China's involvement in the Covid Terror Campaign. But no doubt China was involved up to their neck. And my speculation remains that China was integral to the entire psychological operation.
I can see that the Covid Terror favored consolidating 'social' control of the domestic population in China. And I can see that regular Chinese people, some or a lot, were not happy with being locked up in their apartment building by their dear leaders. And I can see that the video footage from China shown for public consumption has a manufactured look, and basically is not any different than our own domestic propaganda consumption.
All of this plus today's masking recounting gives pause. Is there any hope at all? And the Iran affair, like Covid Terrorism, is yet another House of Cards based in outright lies. And some people like MTG and Massie get de-platformed for telling us the truth about who and what is behind the Iran debacle. Nothing much has changed in the larger picture even though there have been a few wins for us.
My neighbor had a table set up in her garage and she wiped all of her groceries with Lysol wipes. She called me one day and was very alarmed because she saw me get my mail and told me that I needed to leave the mail in the mailbox for at least 48 hours so that the virus would "die". Insane.
My Daughter and her MiL were removed from a Hobby Lobby store (yes, Oregon) and the sheriff was called. My daughter told the manager "great 'we'll wait outside for him". Sheriff arrived, said sorry for the trouble. I can't make you wear a mask but it's up to you what you want to do. Management may have the right to file a trespass on you. My Daughter and her MiL left the store, setting the example for the day.
My daughter and myself were kicked out of a Costco, I'm so proud of my little girl!
P.S. anyone notice Costco removing ICE machines? My local store did, right as summer started. I wonder why...
The whole left coast went batshit crazy, but Oregon and Washington may have been a special kind of stupid. Remember the guy alone in his kayak a mile from shore with no mask? $30,000 to send a Coast Guard chopper to bring him in. So glad my wife and I escaped from there. We saw Kristi Noem's commercial "Come to South Dakota. More hunting and less covid." We love it here.
And on the flip side of your basketball meetings, I came across a group of women (peloton) cyclists who, while waiting for their food, spent all their time explaining to each other how to cheat the system and cut the line to received the vaxx. I still wonder now how many are still alive or injuried or biking?
For what it’s worth, most of my basketball buddies were 1st and 2nd generation Persians (American) who had fled Iran in 1979. I was the ‘minority’ white guy ;)
My friend’s 30-something daughters volunteered at our local PH Clinic to get the jab before the elderly, immuno-compromised, etc. They quit after their first day—they got the shot and were out of there.
nah, if you haven't done anything wrong keep your spine shiney. You can have a spine of steel while still being polite. As long as you are following legal instructions and being polite, they really have nothing to pressure you over. It's when people get snarly, start cursing and belligerent that you are endangering yourself.
Officers are people too, have families and most do not want to hassle people who are respectful and polite. You may get a warning, but that is about it. see SPH's post above.
Now, if some headcase has somehow weaseled his way onto the force, word usually gets out pretty quick about those people and once reported a few times, and counseling doesn't fix it, they tend to get highly encouraged to move on or to find a different career. And its best they move away from the entire county, because their former work mates KNOW and will be keeping an eye on them. Most good officers despise people who make their jobs more dangerous or difficult.
Today the local hospital has announced “the removal of all COVID 19 related reports and sections” from the EMR. We use Epic, one of the largest EMR’s. Hmm
I have a friend that works at Stanford and quietly all Covid crap went away years ago now. Used to on the banner across the of the EMR. NOT VACCINATED 😂😂😂 she said she sees nothing anymore. Vaccination is not a factor. I bet people eating a transplant are still getting questioned
Tio Nico I second Patti’s recommendation about finding a homeopathic practitioner. They don’t even have to be local. Homeopathy treats symptoms which is different than allopathy therefore you can have a telephone consultation with a homeopathic practitioner and they will prescribe the remedies that will take care of your symptoms.
Here are two links where you can search for a practitioner.
Tio Nico check out homeopathy and homeopathic practitioners. Also see Joette Calabrese many things you can treat in your own. The more chronic and harder dx get help. Hard to treat yourself and loved ones
During the Covid Terrorism, all normal flu mysterious vanished, all cause mortality did not rise (not until the 'vaccine'), suddenly everyone was dying from Covid and nothing else (according to the death certificates), the PCR test was a sham and so who had what was indeterminate ... and yet everyone still talks as though Covid was the pandemic and not an engineered hysteria with multiple nefarious motives attached. In effect, our sloppy language choices perpetuate enabling illusions detached from material facts, from reality as pertains to that mysterious word 'covid' and the pandemic that never was.
"... and yet everyone still talks as though Covid was the pandemic and not an engineered hysteria..."
Why? I'd like to hear how you would answer that but what pops into my mind is Stockholm Syndrome but on a mass scale. By using language that STILL assumes "Covid" was real legitimatizes the Psyops. We perpetuate our own prison. What that means is that we have not reached the point of a revolution or revolt. WE ARE STILL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE PSYOPS.
It also kind of explains why no one has admitted they were wrong about the pandemic. I often wonder why so many friends and relatives won’t admit to being mask Nazi’s during the period. Most of these were good, conservative people who were scared to death by the media and the health communities. My nephew was a hospital head. He’s young, caring, and a good doctor, but he did health ads urging people to mask up while wearing a mask. They have pigeon holed the whole experience. They know they were wrong, but stack it up to, “we just didn’t know”. And neither did they bother to find out. The hysteria was everywhere.
After the Soviets raised the Red Flag in Berlin in 1945, nobody wanted to discuss the glories of the Third Reich. The worry was to eat, save their skins and get on with life in the new evolving Germanies. It was the same in Italy and in Japan. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
Hitler probably could have pulled of the New Germany project, but too many mistakes were made. Like assuming America with steel production seven to eight times that of Germany would not come into the war and attacking a la Napoleon the great expanse of Russia. And all of this balanced against resource and the economic production base.
And now Trump is making the same kind of mistakes. And nobody wants to talk about this. But the smart money knows what is going and the smart money is redeploying.
I suppose, as is usually the case with the human race, this will just have to play out until the entire system in the US collapses in fiscal bankruptcy. I would not have a clue about that except that Armstrong's Socrates is pegging 2032 as the year everything changes. The implication is that beyond that the current USG is no more. As Dave said above, "But the smart money knows what is going and the smart money is redeploying."
"...It’s understandable that most people think that virology is a proper scientific discipline and that challenging the existence of viruses is ludicrous.
However, the fact is that viruses are fictional and we want it known that the direct, simple task of proving the existence of any virus hasn’t ever been done..."
Thank you, Dr. Clark, for caring enough to tell the truth. I had to go to the doctor to get blood work done for Thyroid medication & the doctor's office was in the very rural area of Sale Creek Tennessee! They did not allow anyone inside the office & you had to "drive through" under a covered area and see a nurse practitioner and not even allowed to get out of your vehicle. You either had to roll down your window or open your door so the nurse could check your blood pressure and talk to you and step outside your car door to get blood drawn. This was in October and very cold that day. I was very irritated to say the least and my blood pressure was high, and she said I needed to take blood pressure medication and insist she write a prescription and I said go ahead but I wasn't going to fill it. Remember, I was there to get blood work so I could get my thyroid medication refilled! This only added to my distrust of the medical establishment. I did not take the jab & refused to wear a mask! Very dark and horrible time! God bless you Dr. Clark for being honest and caring for your patients.
Thank you for standing courageously though once the mandate was enforced by the administration to any company who had gov contracts, there was little available to circumvent it and that phase resulted in terrible ongoing damage.
Cheers! Nurse for 20+ and left April 2020. I was embarrassed to be honest. I was laughed out of meetings. These same doctors, nurses and administrators knew they didn’t believe the crap but in public followed like dutiful little idiot soldiers. I am still embarrassed. Angry. No trust in healthcare. Found homeopathy. Learning a real medicine. Cheers to the strong ones that left the BS
Hey, Patti, I retired from nursing in 2018 so I dodged the bullying. But I was astonished to see nurses I knew falling right in line with the useless masking. They scoffed at me for refusing the vaccine. I now raise my own herbs and patronize the local farmers markets. The healthcare system has fallen and that might not be a bad thing.
To respond to you nurses went a long with the crap… karma! I was made fun and ridiculed. People were savages. Mean. I get worked up about it still. I always say stay humble because it takes nothing to knock you down. I have ZERO respect for most all healthcare in my valley/ state! Weak cowards that could have changed the coarse of history yet here we are with a huge black embarrassing mark. Congratulations on retiring in 2018. I would have stayed for another 2 decades I loved my desk job reading charts for reimbursement and severity of illness but not at the cost of my soul
You would love homeopathy! Check out Joette calabrese learning center. I would have ditched nursing all together to do this. Practical homeopathy is amazing stuff
Yes, homeopathy, naturopathy, herbs, organic, you name it there are far better ways to heal,restore and boost immunity. You chose well my sister. God bless you.
Yes Patti, I am afraid your entire career was spent inside a sham industry. I never “felt good” about the “care” I received from my doctors but I became aware during Covid that virtually all modern medical practice is useless or harmful. My family and I no longer participate in it. We use mostly home remedies and UC or ER when we have an urgent medical need I cannot attend to at home. It is good you and I know now and we are raising up a generation that will also know it at least be told. Occasionally I have to interact with the medical establishment (this morning, in fact, had to get a special state form filled out for my son’s physical so he can attend school) … I leave these interactions frustrated and TOTALLY disenfranchised … so little thinking exercises in medicine today. I am not going to trash talk the nurse and nurse practitioner we saw today but I was NOT IMPRESSED. Ugh!!!
Belle…I “feel you” as the kids say these days… once you see the truth so many previously unresolved gut feelings or spider-sense moments suddenly “make sense” as it were. Not only did I work inside the belly of the beast (healthcare) for 40ish years but I grew up watching Marcus Welby, Dr. Kildare, Medical Center and Ben Casey. Now I am sad to say these wonderful shows were of course largely propaganda as are of course every show ever made for TV or the big screen. Hat tip to Neil Postman so powerfully argued in “Amusing Ourselves To Death” who helped me see that truth.
As far as my healthcare career (Info Tech-Data), we made careers and were paid well getting our share of a 6Trillion$$ industry promising to solve the same problems year after year. COVID hit near the end for me and watching it from inside the belly of the beast was truly frightening.
Now we primarily use natural paths and common sense. If I break my leg I will be forced to reenter the allopathic environs and hope to escape physically mended and psychologically sound. Yes, a bit melodramatic but as you said, I don’t trust them at all.
We have given up trying to argue or educate most of the brainwashed and just discreetly wince and deflect when our family or friends ask “did you get tested for COVID” every time we have a sniffle or headache.
Do you use homeopathy? If not check out Joette calabrese and her learning center. HIGHLY recommend ❤️ life changing.
I learned a lot thru my years that help me now so I can’t say it’s a total loss. I also have life long friends out of healthcare because we were in the trenches of hell together. The good ones are still my friends even tho their choices were different they supported me and I hope they feel supported by me. Check it out and let me know your thoughts
I had to wear a mask in my doctors waiting room, but when he came into the exam room, he told me I could take it off if I wanted to. It was all performative.
One trip to the doctor's office had me being one of the first patients seen after lunch. When I came into the back area separate from the waiting room, they were all finishing lunch, putting on masks, finishing their lunch, and going back to the respective areas. It felt like being backstage at a play.
I stayed with my husband when he had to stay overnight in the hospital following a back surgery in January 2021 and saw the same thing. I went out to get coffee in the early morning and all the nurses at the nurses station were sitting around talking with masks pulled down. They knew the masks were useless.
In the summer of 2020, I was having an eye problem so I made an appointment at our small optometrists office for an exam. I had to announce my arrival when I got in the parking lot by calling the office. When I was told I could come in, I had to wait at the door while one of the assistants unlocked and unbolted the door. Immediately, after entering the masked assistant relocked and bolted the door again. Everyone was masked. I asked the optometrist why all these precautions. His reply was “they were following the CDC guidelines”. I felt like I was in a third world country.
Similar experience here. Had serious eye issue in December of 2021, which was likely from vaccinated people shedding on me. The eye doctor's office still required calling from the parking lot to enter and masking the entire time. After getting my eyes scanned with some machine, I had to get my eyesight checked. I was unable to see the wall eye chart with my mask on, as it would make my glasses askew. I asked to remove my mask, and the young female physician assistant acted like I asked for the moon, and she was so afraid she'd catch Covid, that she actually stepped outside the exam room and had me state the letters I saw loud enough for her to hear on the other side of the cracked door. I thought it was ludicrous and said, "you know, even if you got Covid, you're young and likely healthy enough that it would do next to nothing to you." After that, for some reason (🙄🤔), she was quite cold towards me.
I was fired for refusing to wear a mask in the dr office, and I just said, call me when this nonsense is over, but a week later, I got a letter saying because I refused to wear a mask, I would not be allowed back in the office. Ever.
I got fired for refusing a Covid test on me when I was at an appointment for my son. Had never seen this nut job as my own doctor. I refused. She chased me out to the parking lot like a lunatic. I refused again and left. Wrote her an email criticizing her treatment of me and was fired. I’m a healthcare professional myself
Probably listed as ‘non-compliant’ patient. Pharma requires compliance and pays doctors handsomely for patient compliance so letting you go improves their ‘score’ & nets more revenue.
My husband got fired way before Covid for complaining to a nurse that the medication he was on made his ankles balloon and something needed to be done and she got pissy with him. So she whined to the doc and they fired him.
You were lucky. I took mine off (before I found the Fake Mask website and bought several) in the exam room and was yelled at by the Karen physician for removing it.
Same. I do see my eye doctor and my independent holistic NP but never went back to the other doctors (family doctor and ob-gyn). I trusted them but conditionally--and they lost my trust with the way they behaved during Covid.
Thank God my doc is an osteopath and didn’t even offer the shots. I went to a cardiologist, didn’t wear a mask, noticed the receptionist didn’t either and thought that was a good sign. Doc came into the examination room wearing cargo pants and a sports team shirt and had long hair and I thought “oh, cool a nonconformist” but then I saw the mask. So he’s talking to me through the mask and I say, “ you can take your mask off so I can understand you better” and he says “ no and you should have one on”. I told him no that they don’t really work and that was that. He set up another appointment but I declined. What a disappointment.
Free dental care is more important than ‘health care’ in my opinion, now. The doctors blew it. Believed the CDC full press. My PA in-law did, too, until his 4th shot sent him to ICU. He bought the story hook, line and stinker. Told us we were nuts for believing the conspiracy theories. My other in-law, ER doc, has Parkinson's and probably still takes all the vaccines. Ugh! The medical school brainwashing was the only thing effective. And it ain't safe!
The last time my husband was in a hospital, 2022, I was told he needed a covid test, a nasal swab, I said no. Three times. Then, some Indian woman doctor that I couldn’t understand insisted. I said no. The next day, a charge nurse came to his room and said: “thank you, over 70% ??of the nurses threatened to quit if they were made to take those shots” He had been care flighted to Tyler, TX, where every time he saw one of his doctors, we were pressured to take Covid shots. One PA even told us how safe there are and she was nursing her baby. See how safe?”
Depends on the person. I give free car repair assistance all the time. OCD people would argue that it isn't free because I expended my time. Just like I paid for this answer.
I have a physician (conservative) relative who was absolutely sure that masks were necessary. I tried discussing it with her, even asking about if her surgical practice used them prior to COVID19. I don’t talk with her about COVID19 times anymore, mostly not to embarrass her. She always got better grades growing up than I did, but I am starting to think that a lot of doctors were just good test takers. They’re still trying to get A’s.
Thing is, I, like most everyone reading this see the absurdity of it. I did from the start, never wore one. Never. The businesses that refused to serve me I've never returned to. Many, karmic justice-like, have since gone out of business. I laugh out loud, HaHaHa! when I see one closed, then say they had it coming for being assholes to their customers.
That said, it truly was a massive psychological warfare campaign against the public. We are in an Information Age. Like the Copper Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age, Nuclear Age, each Age develops weapons with the new technology to go along with the tools they produce. And armed with those weapons go to war with the advantages the new technology provides them to gain whatever resources or power those with the new technology want.
We are currently in the middle of the first World War of the Information Age. And the battlefield is for our minds. Where our minds go our bodies will follow. Those whose minds were/are not prepared for the attacks on their minds will become the victims/already are the victims.
Maskers today are those victims of the massive Information War PsyOp that was deployed against their minds. That they left totally undefended. In kinetic war we see casualties like missing arms, missing legs, disfigured, scarred faces. In this Information war we see casualties in the form of masked faces. (And mutilated children.)
As my first instinct remains yours when I see someone alone in a car wearing a mask, or anywhere, stores, parks, etc, and my laughter begins to turn to anger at the sight of masked faces, I remind myself that they are victims, casualties of the war on our minds. A masked face = a missing leg. It is largely the same.
And the thing is, those who complied with masking but knew better are complicit. They may have thought to themselves they didn't want to scare granny any more than she already was with an open face, didn't want to fight with the Karen's demanding they mask. So they complied.
And their compliance normalized masking, which reinforced the Information War PsyOp. The twist of fate is that those who knew better but wore the mask to not scare granny were actually scaring granny into becoming forever maskers. The PsyOp had people terrorizing each other, those whose minds weren't prepared became the casualties.
Which means that anyone who wore the mask is complicit in creating the casualties we see still wearing masks. And if you object to that, which many will, you are in denial about your complicity. "But, but, but, I couldn't shop or do what I wanted to do without one, I'd have lost my job, I'd have missed my doctor appointment." True. But there was a price for complying. And it is on the forever masked faces you still see today. The social-emotional and language skill development in children.
The "Fear Amplification" of masks (a Behavioral Science, BS, term of art that was chosen by BS'ers to 'treat' our "Optimism Bias" they diagnosed us with when we didn't believe them about the flu) was their "best protection" NPI, as CDC head Robert Redfield said when he held up a mask before congress and said that. The non-clinical word for "Fear Amplification" is "Terrorize." Our government conscripted the public to terrorize each other. And masked faces today are the most visible long-term casualties of that terrorism. The product of the first World War of the Information Age.
I had a little book of my grandmother's music, of hymns, anthems, popular songs of the day, and in the German anthem and popular songs, a black line was drawn through all the words. This was done during the time of the First World War.
When I was in my late twenties, I had an friend who was a friend of my father (who had already passed). He told me a story about a business customer of his, a German national ... probably a man who bought finished leather from him. Part of the story was how he paid all of this German man's insurance premiums in America during the Second World Ward in order to keep the policy in force.
Some people's minds are totally subjected by government propaganda. Others see beyond the mind control and manipulation of emotions, and still perform kind acts. I have never forgotten this example of contrasts.
I know really. Even today I see people masking up in stores and think how sad but then I say that I have to allow them the freedom to wear a mask if I want people to allow me the right to not wear one.
I like to think that...then I have the realization that those who are still masking were and will be again the mask Nazi Karen's demanding we mask up the next time. They obviously believe in them. Only reason they are staying silent now is because the broad public isn't behind them, and nor are authorities or businesses. But make no mistake, 90% of the masked faces you see will either bark commands at you or demand authorities force you to mask/remove you from a premises next go round.
For them freedom is a one-way street. Their minds are broken, they've been Stockholm Syndromed. Captives of kidnappers who've been SS'd have been known to pick up guns and fire at police rescuers trying to rescue them. Information War same type of casualty.
There are still masked up people here in PNW. I see them occasionally. Most of the time it’s a younger person with piercings and dyed hair, but not always. The ones that are really wild are those inside cars alone, wearing a mask. That is a visible sign of mental illness I tell my wife when we see them. Wife doesn’t like that I’m mean that way. I better check if my wife is following correct dog food instructions.
I live in CA and they are the same down here. Even driving the car alone with a mask. I say the same derogatory things about these people to my wife as do you. She doesn't like it either.
If interested I wrote a long comment above yours that I just as well could've written under yours. It's truly sad. For different reasons than we think.
What a wonderful insight: "They're still trying to get A's." Yes, they still want approval, the kind of status they had before. They, wearing their white coats, often with stephascopes around the neck have been at the top of the "respect" food chain for more than a century. It was always with pride that I heard a parent, especially a Mom say, "My son is a doctor." I don't think they were better at testing, good certainly, and good at memory stuff, but think of all those smart ones who became lawyers and scientists and mathematicians. I think the key is when you noticed that they are still trying to get A's. To me, that says it all.
My dad was a doctor and a great one. He passed away prior to COVID, thankfully, and I'm sure wouldn't have put up with the nonsense that went on. I tell people often that not every MD graduated at the top of their class. There was always a bottom quarter....
I think that those of us who did not ace tests, were not necessarily stupid, but rather, just couldn't comply with the indoctrination system baked into education. This sounds a bit like a rationalization, though. Was I lazy because I did not want to comply with the indoctrination of education, or was it that education simply was not my cup of tea because I was lazy?
My sister who aced tests, and works in education, has a PhD, was all in on masking. I was a C student.
Just goes to prove that "high intelligence" does not necessarily mean one has the ability to think for himself. True operational intelligence (for lack of a better word) is an independent mind. The rest are high IQ slaves.
Many know Houdini as the magician. But not as many know he spent the last decades of his life as a political activist. He traveled around the nation and testified before Congress and many state legislatures. Trying to get mediums, seances and psychics banned. He blamed them for scamming his mother out of her money, giving her false hope she could communicate with a loved one who passed. He traced the influences of the mediums back to several White Houses. Including Pres. Lincoln, Mary hosted seances there. As did many other presidents who followed.
In his testimony he often said, “the more highly educated a man is along certain lines, the easier he is to dupe." There's something to it, along the lines of higher education makes us capable of rationalizing and justifying nearly anything we can conceive of.
George Orwell wrote of the same phenomenon. Of the regular common sense folks who see right through the lies:
"they are at once too sane and too stupid to acquire the totalitarian outlook."
"Meanwhile, totalitarianism has not fully triumphed anywhere. Our own society is still, broadly speaking, liberal. To exercise your right of free speech you have to fight against economic pressure and against strong sections of public opinion, but not, as yet, against a secret police force. You can say or print almost anything so long as you are willing to do it in a hole-and-corner way. But what is sinister, as I said at the beginning of this essay, is that the conscious enemies of liberty are those to whom liberty ought to mean most. The big public do not care about the matter one way or the other. They are not in favour of persecuting the heretic, and they will not exert themselves to defend him. They are at once too sane and too stupid to acquire the totalitarian outlook. The direct, conscious attack on intellectual decency comes from the intellectuals themselves."

FF - 'Smart' people are known to be very susceptible to the pollicization of any subject. Much moreso than people with ordinary intelligence while possessing simple common sense. 'Smart' minds can be made hyper-malleable, able to rationalize and justify anything, even sudden shifts from demonstrable, unassailable knowledge to their opposite contradiction. 'Smart' minds are capable of Olympic medal-winning gymnastics to believe something provably false when asserted by those in positions they trust, no matter how patently absurd or contradictory they are.
And remember Voltaire's caution: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." It is the 'smartest' people who commit, orchestrate atrocities. No. We don't "trust the experts." We won't "trust the experts." We do our own research. And are guided by our own common sense. There's a very good reason Thomas Paine titled his pamphlet "Common Sense" when arousing notions of freedom among the colonists who "trusted the experts" like the King told them to do. Lessons for us today are in that 250-year-old+ work.
I.E., "high intelligence" does not necessarily mean one has the ability to think for himself. True operational intelligence (for lack of a better word) is an independent mind. The rest are high IQ slaves.
We need a better IQ paradigm based on "operational intelligence". We keep letting them educate our children through "their" paradigms which returns us to square one every generation.
One of the best, if not the best check on the highly intelligent impressed by their own smarts is faith in God, Almighty. Humility. And serenity. If only more smart people understood their limitations are real, so much of life is completely out of their control.
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time.
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as he did, the sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that he will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever.
—Reinhold Niebuhr, 1892-1971
But there is a troubling correlation between high intelligence and atheism. So many highly intelligent have thought their way into believing there is no God, that they know all that is important to know, and that they can use their smarts and tools they invent to control a world, even the microbiological and atmospheric world. They do not possess the wisdom to know the difference between things they cannot change. Nor are they particularly courageous.
Spot on FF. And not just Atheism. Atheism is a faith as much as any religion because the only god left in their faith is Man, ie, Humanism. There is no other reference point. I am reminded of Saul, an extremely intelligent and motivated person who God had to blind to get his attention where after he became the Apostle Paul. He was THAT difficult to convert. And a very humbling experience to Paul as he had to live with the memory of how he persecuted people prior to his encounter with God.
So, I think the humility of faith in God gives the wisdom that is the prerequisite to what I called "operational intelligence". I don't think we're going to find that on an IQ test.
Yes. I find I don’t want to embarrass friends who were terrified into submission by talking about any of this,these days….but,it really does not feel great. It feels like they SHOULD be embarrassed by their behavior..
Patti, receive this nomination for your post to be considered for "Bumper Sticker of the Year!" While, a little, terse, and ambiguous, it nevertheless captures Quite Well Indeed the feelings most of us have regarding the world we live in. Seeing this on a car in front while waiting at a stop, drivers will know "someone else gets it too!" Thank you and good luck in the competition.
DOCTOR Drass, I am sorry for the end and manner of the end of your career. Like educators, I hope your memories are buoyed by the sure knowledge that, whether "they" think of you or not, there are hundreds/thousands? of people going about their days "normally" because of your assistance. YOU did that. Well done, good and faithful servant.
I think it's going to take direct advertising for doctors to get their trust back. Like the lawyers do. The shite ones will do what the shite ones do, but the good ones will use their 30-60 seconds to convince us that they're not cowards. Or that they are sorry... I'm fairly sure I'd schedule a visit with a medico who put up an ad saying s/he was sorry.
It’s so sad how many good doctors and nurses our nation lost due to the government causing them to step away from their careers. I can’t for the life of me find a really good doctor near me that isn’t captured/trained by the system. My doctor retired two years ago and has not yet been replaced. Not for a lack of trying, but each new one I try is part of the machine. The field to choose from is so barren. The effects of what our government did is still cascading and hurting us.
Juju- knowing that Covid shots are still mandated to those in medical/nursing schools just confirms that they don’t want any health professionals that won’t follow orders.
Juju, have you tried the IMA provider list? Independent Medical Alliance that Dr. Ryan, Dr. Marik, Dr. Kory, Dr. Varon, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and others are part of?
Yes! There were only two listed in my area. And in Chicago! One was truly a quack with severe red flags. Not the real deal. The other didn’t answer their phone or email. ? Ever. Of course that was two years ago. I should check again. At that time I’m sure certain medical providers were taking advantage of that system for advertising purposes. But hopefully more have been added since? Unfortunately the Chicagoland area is wholly captured by the big hospitals and universities. My retired doctor used to have a private practice where they practiced both allopathic and holistic medicine, and then the big dogs came in and they either sold to them or went out of business. I remember her sadness when she admitted the clinic was never the same. She caved. 🫤 So in our area the universities control EVERYTHING. They almost cost me my life too and disparaged my efforts to get a second opinion from the world’s experts in my condition at that time, located in Tampa. They were polar opposite in their diagnoses and approaches. The director of the endocrinology department actually sat in on one of my appointments while they tried to scare me away from using them, gossiping and using a false claim about tax fraud. (Looked into it and it wasn’t true of the doctors, completely misrepresented.) Tampa clinic saved my life. Chicago wouldn’t have.
And every specialist I went to for my condition on all sides of the city and burbs was operating according to the university/medical institution script. There is NO individual practice.
So finding a good doctor around me is like winning the lottery. I’m sure one is here somewhere, but it will have to be found by happenstance via word of mouth.
I’ll check IMA again tho. Thanks for the reminder.
Oh Juju, what a mess. I am thankful you made the trip to Tampa to be treated and that you stayed away from Shitcago standard of care BS. Check the list again, they add and delete. I found my doc there and I also use an out of pocket functional naturopath by me as well. Let me know if the list brings you a good doc in your area. Blessings to you always as you are very special indeed.
The problem seems to be a Catch-22: the "good old doctors," like Dr. Drass, QUIT rather than bend the knee, but the "good old doctors" who, other than bending the knee, COULD still be Drass-like have found themselves untrusted!
Well, if I may point out, if one's a priori paradigm is that "they" are doing everything they can to depopulate and exterminate 7.5 billion from the current world population of 8 billion... THEN everything makes total sense.
Juju you should investigate homeopathic practitioners. I posted links for two organizations that have directories. Homeopathy has been around longer than allopathic medicine and is used in Europe and Asia very successfully. It has been marginalized in the US by the medical establishment.
I think we lost more medical professionals due to them dying or developing severe medical problems from the shots.
These days there's a long wait to see an actual doctor for anything. If you want to be seen in less than a few weeks, it's going to be a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner.
Mr Drass, many people, including myself, would be overjoyed to have you, or Nurse Patti or Mr Clark as a medical practitioner. I’m very blessed at 60 to see the dr only once or twice a year, and I generally go to the “doc-in-the-box” near me since my regular physician retired. The things that I see and hear young PAs and NPs saying are a little frightening. I’m happy to have a conversation about treatments, but what if I’m too ill or infirm to advocate for myself? And why do I have to protect myself from the people who in theory should “do no harm”?
Long, long ago in a land far away.......after the CDC had FINALLY decided that masks DID NOT WORK, we were told that we no longer needed to "mask"....FYI, mask should never be used as a verb! Anyway, I had a need to go to Urgent Care. When I walked in, everyone in the room was up against the walls, 10' (not inches) apart. One couple was there with their child, clutching him like that mother in the restaurant in the movie, The Birds, freaking out about the bird attacks, not wanting to hear any of the facts.
Nurse Ratchet, sitting at a table just inside the door told me I needed to "mask" and she handed me one. I responded by stating that the CDC is no longer requiring masks. She said, "Well, it's our "policy." I told her it was a pretty sad day when the CDC appears more cogent than, well, ANYONE!
When I walked out, all the soon-to-be patients were looking at me like I had just stripped naked and danced around the room. They're probably STILL "masking".... verb intended.
Reminds me of going to my husbands orthopedic surgeon for follow up visits after surgery a few months before. We went down mid March 2020, a two hour drive, it was the day they later shut down all the walk in restaurants in our town. We didn’t know what to expect at the orthopedic groups large offices, but everything was as it had been except less patients waiting for appointments. The PA that took vitals said that there were quite a few cancellations today. The doctor, when he came in, shook my husband’s hand as he always had. We kidded him about that and when we left, he winked and gave my husband an elbow bump. A month later when we came down on cold April day, there was a new greeting area between double entrance doors. My husband had to “swab test”, temp test, and sanitizer for his hands. I was told I had to wait in my car until he was finished. They would call me and I could pick him up. Told Husband he could drive himself down for any further visits. It was like aliens took over everything.
I know there are a multitude of stories like this, but my granddaughter worked as a nurse in the local hospital. A man was brought in after getting killed in a motorcycle accident, and his cause of death was put down as Covid. So infuriating that institutions that are supposed to be looking after our health are more interested in the almighty dollar. So much fraud!
The hospital received more money with a primary dx of COVID. There was Medicare rules before Covid for picking a primary diagnosis such as present on admission. Treatment of dx. Clinical signs and symptoms. We called it the 3 legged stool but that was thrown out for whatever reason. I left healthcare before Covid actually had a ICD-10 code even. Money money money!
It's amazing to me to see people still wearing masks. They're alone outdoors or alone in their cars, it doesn't matter. They advertise their stupidity. These are the die-hards that cannot be reasoned with, who are still lining up for the next booster shot. There was a laugh line about stupidity being painful a few decades ago. Now we're seeing the reality where stupidity is life threatening to the stupid person and the ones they directly influence.
It remains for a psychological researcher to establish the connection between wanting to wear a face diaper and something related to childhood toilet training. I admit that when I wore them (both/either), I felt childish.
Good for you. I stated at the time that the Covid response exposed the whole medical industry that they are all just order takers and cowards. Your 1% figure might be high. There should have been a ton more doctors like you.
I am no physician, not an "expert" by any sense of the word, yet as soon as masks were introduced as an option, I questioned, "why?" It was because I simply viewed reality. As long as I have been alive, we were told about "catching" colds and flus, and no one really seriously thought of disrupting and stopping life because of it. It was an inevitability. Cold and flu season came around each year and you could roll the dice and either get sick or not get sick. Thoughts of mitigating it were of controlling symptoms, not indefinitely opting out of society.
If masks worked, would we not have implemented them each flu and cold season? Copy that if they were necessary?
Then He said to them, “Watch out and be on your guard against every form of greed, for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”
He's just trolling...his day revolves around how many folks he can rile up. The "issue" is the excuse, never the reason...the reason is his need to feel superior and take pleasure in the angst he causes in others. I've found that it's best to just annotate "Troll" in the reply section and move on.
You know how C0vid was faked and there never was a deadly virus, and how 9/11 was faked and no planes hit the Towers?
How unreasonable is this one: There are NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Never have been.
If you watch the old 4 or 5 film clips of supposed nuclear explosions from the '40s today, you can see how cheesy and fake they are. Now they look as cheesy as the fake Moon Landing!
And the photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki clearly show both were firebombed.
What if THERE ARE NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS?
if you remove Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the list of alleged nuclear explosions since both were firebombed, there has never been a nuclear bomb exploded. There has never been a nuclear bomb in any of the countless wars since the '40s.
But what about the nuclear bomb tests?
The only evidence of nuclear testing comes from the government telling us they were doing nuclear testing.
The same people who brought us 9/11 and the Great C0vid H0ax.
What if the greatest fear on Earth, a nuclear bomb, doesn't exist, and never did?
And it has always just been a huge mass fear-inducing psyop like 9/11 and C0vid???
Remember, it only took a handful of videos of Crisis.Actors crying "I saw the plane hit the building!" and a fake video of a plane hitting a building playing CONTINUALLY for 72hrs to convince billions of people that planes hit the Towers on 9/11.
What if there are NO nuclear weapons? And never were.
I'm not anti-American. You come up with lots of great stuff. Your first 5 amendments are brilliant (speech, arms, no goons in my home, goons can't search me for no reason, due process).
Smedley Butler had the solution long ago to these "foreign adventures". Another great American idea. But somewhere along the way (1913 hint hint) you stopped implementing great ideas.
It isn't just political and military. American's invented LFTR tech in the 1960's (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors). Now China is running with it. Technology too.
DMSO, ClO2, and lots more on the medical side.
Do you see the point here?
America has thrown off its private central banks in the past and I'm hoping for that again because that is the root of all evil in this world.
Iraq and Venezuela have already been conquered and looted.
Both of them are forced to put their oil money into US banks, and the US decides how much they can use and how they can use it. And it has to be sold in dollars. The US has already confiscated $8 billion of Venezuela's oil, and only gave $300 million as earthquake relief. So very generous.
Libya, I'm not sure. I do know that it did have the highest standard of living of all African countries, but is now a terrorist-infested hellhole that people risk their lives to escape. Way to go, Obama!
Venezuela I can understand because of the voting machines and radical American Marxist connection operating from foreign soil, and Cuba too. But as part of the same disgusting template you speak of, I totally agree. And now there is the Iran Debacle, with all pretext having been grounded in lies very similar to the rest of the Forever War lies. And with Iran, and as in the heyday of the Covid Terrorism, where is all the indignation? And what ever happened to all the grand MAGA campaign promises?
And now we have a President saying he is going "to bomb the shit out of them" and stuff like that, and with nobody questioning all of this thuggery, and at whose behest, and based up what?
And the unbelievable propaganda statements coming out of the White House? And being every bit as off the wall as seen in the Dear Leader EU stuff?
But don't worry Mrs. RW. We have to preserve Democracy!
The Cubans? Nothing. Like us, the Cubans have been victimized by their Marxist leaders' creation of a hell hole. And the USA is, and maybe still is, on a hell hole trajectory unless things don't dramatically reverse, at least by what I am seeing. And would you have lived in New York City for ten years on the Upper West Side as I did, you might have some different slants of view into Cuba of a solely political and ideological nature.
I would like to see a free and prosperous Cuba. I also would like to see a free and prosperous United States. And I am sure that Venezuelans would like to see a free Venezuela run in an orderly prosperous way. The real scandal is that what is being done around the world by the Trump administration is still being done to us in the United States, just by other means. Thus my questions is this, and from an administration so much on the right footing in its first two or three months, where are the MAGA campaign promises now? Why is everything once again so upside down? And in foreign policy, what is the difference between Biden and Trump?
I am certainly not going to run livid and rant against you when my complaints are the same as yours, but only maybe nuanced differently in the fewest of few cases.
Well, to you and Proberta, the one motivating paradigm that explains everything is the Depopulation Agenda. When one looks at any question about what is going on, I find that when the Depopulation paradigm is applied as the context then everything suddenly makes sense and there is no more contradiction or surprising development. The logic falls in place.
Indeed. Clinton destroyed Yugoslavia, Bush destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama destroyed Libya and started on Syria, including sending in troops to occupy 30% of the country and steal their oil and wheat, Trump 1 didn't start any new wars and tried to get out of Syria, but wasn't allowed to, Biden did Ukraine and finished Syria, and now Trump 2 is destroying Iran and continuing Ukraine.
And in the meantime they all kept bombing the other countries on the list, including Lebanon, Somalia, and Sudan.
Mrs. RW... a VERY cogent observation. Michael Yon recently stated an axiom on an interview that really hit home. He said that if one is surprised by a development then either your information input was not good information OR the paradigm you are using to understand the world is incorrect. If your paradigm is accurate and you are using 24 carat information, then you will never be surprised by what happens.
So what happened between Trump 1 and Trump 2? Trump 2 is behaving like Trump 2 is captured. And I do seem to detect that "something" happened to him after Butler.
He definitely seems like a different person. I remember when he was adamantly against nuclear war. Obama was pushing a trillion dollar nuclear upgrade, and the media was going along with it.
During one of the 2016 debates, the media person asked him about the nuclear triad. Instead of talking about that, he talked about the horrors of nuclear war and the effects it had on the people subjected to it.
No other US president has ever talked like that, and he was roundly criticized for it. Hillary Clinton, of course, could rattle off the components of the nuclear triad like the crazed war monger she is. I was impressed with that Trump.
He said that his uncle, the nuclear scientist, impressed upon him the horrors of the bomb when he was an impressionable child, and it stuck with him.
But now they're talking about dropping nuclear weapons on Iran???
Trump??? Not the same guy at all.
And the market manipulation is new also. He was one of the few presidents who didn't profit from his first presidency. What happened?
It is concerning. We are goose-stepping to all out war, and Trump doesn't seem to be opposed to it.
To fairly spread blame, Obama massively increased troops in Afghanistan so he and Bush are jointly responsible for that fiasco and littany of war crimes
But Trump 1 negotiated an end to that war, and withdrew half of US troops.
The rest were supposed to be withdrawn by May, 2021. But Biden stole the election and reneged on the deal, leading to the resumption of the Taliban attack and the chaotic retreat of August, 2021.
Pretty sure it is already sand. I’m as pro American as a person can get but I am only for our troops defending us not large corporations in their quest to take over the world via the CIA.
Be wary Christians going to war for greed against Iran. The draft is coming........
"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
Masonic Grand Master Albert Pike explained it all in 1871 as he laid out the plans for the World Wars:
"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism.
"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused...between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other.
"...Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view." - Albert Pike's letter to Giuseppe Mazzini August 15, 1871
Scottish Rite Freemason Foster Bailey states that Masonry "is the descendant of, or is founded upon, a divinely imparted religion..." This religion he explains "...was the first United World Religion. Then came the era of separation of many religions and sectarianism. Today we are working again towards a World Universal Religion." ("The Spirit of Masonry", p.31)
Nazi Reichsmarschall Herman Goering explained war resistors:
“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the Leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.” - Hermann Goering from the Nuremberg Trials 1946
And Muammar Gaddafi said:
“I think Americans are good. But America will be taken over and destroyed from inside by the Zionist Lobby. The Americans do not see this. They are getting decadent. Zionists will use this to destroy them.” - Muammar Gaddafi, Pittsburgh Press (8/3/1986) "Gaddafi, The Man The World Loves To Hate" by Marie Colvin (UPI)
America is under Zionist regime. Everyone knows this except Americans.
Gaddafi was a rare and intelligent observer of history. It's a shame there are not more like him. You know, I recall Prince, of all people, making comments that were also very astute.
No you are not making that CDC t-shirt mask tutorial up. I remember seeing it. Confused. Then there was the hilarious memes that came from one small (ahem) Chinese woman who made one out of one of her bra cups. Who knew I had double protection right there every day! Then the hilarious sister-in-arms who tried it and posted a picture of what happens when women “gifted” like us actually tries it. It covered her whole head! 😜🤣🤣
I remember entering the Kroger store here without a mask, and was tracked down and asked to leave. I pulled out a bandana and asked the clerk to tie it in the back for me. She did, and that satisfied them, and I was able to breathe. Such nonsense we put up with.
I only wore a mask when I didn’t have the energy to deal with the idiots or my husband was not with me. If my husband was with me and I didn’t wear a mask I was fine. If he wasn’t with me anyone and everyone thought they could tell me what to do. 🤬 one time I had a huge man come up to me not wearing a mask and at the time I was not wearing a mask and he told me how impressed he was with me not wearing a mask. Said we have to stick together. I agreed and we walked away encouraging each other to stand up. Courage is contagious 💪🏽 he was huge and I am sure NO one approached him to chastise him. Crazy times
I wore one when my son was with me because it caused him so much anxiety if I didn't. But I also wore it under my nose, which caused looks. And anxiety in my son. I hated it all; so performative.
My daughter-in-law made her babies wear them in public. I was adamantly against that. She was trying to be good; she's changed a lot since then.
Ugh! It was a difficult time. My mom knew they were stupid but didn’t want the argument and she was in her 70’s. She said just go along to get a long Patti 😆 she knew I was never that kid. Definitely not that adult . I want things to make sense and the why 😂
The City of Madison, Wisconsin ran a public service announcement to advise people to STOP approaching Black people to ask them to move their masks over their noses because that was their culture.
Incidentally, horse shite is the City of Madison, Wisconsin's culture...
Thought about it, back before suspecting we were being flim-flammed. Looked up size of virus (less than 100 nm) and realized cloth masks were 10s of microns, if not 100s, in pore size. That was the beginning of realizing we were being duped.
Please, who was that genius who first said, contemporaneously with the masking advice, that he put up a chain link fence around his yard to keep the mosquitos out?
Yeah I definitely feel that being a petite woman had disadvantages in that regard :/ I still had to shop for groceries and wasn't going to get thrown out of the store. I hate getting my food online and didn't feel like I should be obligated to do so either. The whole thing was just such a train wreck >:(
Totally! My husband is not one to poke the bear but I sure in the hell am but sometimes didn’t have the energy to fight. Only was approached at a shoe store and was asked to leave. I will never return to that store. They were polite but they were also wrong. I should go back and ask them today how they feel about it but given the flag they post I’m sure I know
I did the same, RL, when shopping for necessities, but I punched holes in my mask with a paper punch, and wrote things on it like “JESUS is our only Hope!”
Courage IS contagious. An important reminder. The young man who saved the boy in Jeff’s reporting shows how important it is to recognize that fact, to remind us. My husband was tossed out of his gym for not masking while working out. They did not care that he could not breathe while masked.
It's interesting that so many people who couldn't breathe with masks were treated like this when Jeff's citation from the CDC literally says that they should not be used by people who are having difficulty breathing!!!
I complied. I wasn’t properly informed (just coming off a life saving surgery and some family tragedy, I had been disconnected from society for a long time). I was a rules follower and those were “rules”. I’m a good little student doing as I’m told. 🙄🤦🏼♀️ I hadn’t yet been given all the info that would wake me up. But boy, today? Not the same person. I imagine I have the courage to laugh in someone’s face if they require me to mask up. Back then it was more about “well if it makes you feel more comfortable, fine, I’m only here 10-15 mins …” and I’d use one. Feewings ruled the day.
The confusing part early on was being required to wear a mask to get service from ERs and urgent care centers, or my own doctor’s office. No mask? No dice. No service. No care. No compassion. Thrown out in the street. I found that shocking. (Unless they gave everyone proper N-95s, but they had masks that were made in China out of tissue paper)
So true. That summer of 2020 I came down with Shingles, and made an appointment at the local clinic. I was told I had to wear a mask to come in and to see the doctor. I was prepared. I had one of those thin ski mask type head coverings which allowed me to breathe and see. And being the curmudgeon I am, I stuck a Trump sticker to the back of it. They allowed it, and actually liked it. One never knows.
Like Masking!! The irony never stops! Like OSHA requires workers with a 6'lanyard tie off on a 3 foot platform, Or 3 points of contact on a ladder! To change a light bulb then takes minimum of 2 people, 2 ladders. or driving a truck with a bright safety vest on that reflects off the windshield so it impairs your vision. Policy requiring helicopter pilots and medical attendants to wear a 2.5lb crash helmet when about 90 percent of crashes are vertical impact, so you hit the ground at 10G's see what that does to your spine!! Should be optional, and the irony is the patient pays $50K and up for the ride and only gets a sheet!!!:):) So easy to find comedy and stupidity in so much.
I initially thought it was a case of "can't hurt, might help" and like you, figured 15-20 minutes was no big deal, because you do see medical professionals wearing them. I also thought it would be a thing for maybe a couple of weeks--not MONTHS to YEARS!!! >:( And once I dug into it and read about how masking works and all of the details, plus had some very scary experiences with shortness of breath and (one time at my nurse practitioner's for an appointment) high blood pressure (which I *never* have issues with!!), like you, in addition to my son's issues, I became very anti-mask and refused to wear them as much as possible (had to make an exception to be able to be with my mom while she was in the cancer unit at the hospital at the end of her life :( ).
I saw everyone wearing masks touching their noses and mouths through them all the time as well as seeing those with them down below their noses. That's when I figured out this was all a farce.
Juju, you've identified something in your "Feewings ruled the day."
We have been treated in the past decade or so to what life is like under a "rule of feelings" rather than of law. Feelings, almost by definition, don't have to make sense! And no two people can have the same exact feeling, again almost by definition, about any thing! It's a program for destroying any sense of commonality.
I know a man who carried a Lone Ranger style eye mask with him. Whenever store personnel told him he had to wear a mask, he whipped out that mask and put it on, then strolled away leaving them staring after him, dumbfounded.
I didn't comply, and when told to put on a mask I simply replied I'd seen several employees who'd pulled their masks down under their noses, then said.... words I won't write here... and I was left along to get on with my shopping....
I ordered one of those clear plastic face shields on amazon to wear at the grocery store because they wouldn't let you in without a "face covering." So ridiculous. At least I could breathe!
Was forced to wear one in the Dr office I worked in. My coworker made us some lovely ones out of nearly sheer colorful cotton fabric….lol…looked like a mask 😏
After walking through a BevMo for 20 minutes without one and no one saying anything, I was refused check out service by the manager who said they would not do business with anyone without a mask.
Like … your money is infected? That’s it! That’s the origin and spread of Covid! You can walk around the entire store and touch everything, but they won’t take your money 🤣
A father shopping with his wife and 2 children told me I deserved to die in a grocery store in northern California. I was just going back to get a box of butter and that dad thought it was a good idea to wish death on me in front of his kids. Insanity.
My husband is scared for life from a bad experience at sprouts. It was that in between time, optional to wear a mask. Some guy from across the store stated yelling and pointing at my husband. “He's not wearing a mask” the manager had to step in, the same store later became militarized with enforcement. So stupid. What about the neighbors still wearing one in Arizona heat to walk their dog or in their car alone? I think God is going to forgive my hatred for these people. Hope so.
It was a very small Kroger store, and they closed it in 2022. It's now a Dollar General. At the time, they began enforcing the crazy guidelines including only allowing about a dozen people inside at one time. There was a line outside waiting to go in.
I loved one of the early comments I heard on a podcast about masks, and recognizing the size of the virus and porosity of all masks - that expecting a mask to stop the virus was like thinking a chain link fence could keep out mosquitos
I miss the masks as it covered up all the leftist branch covidians faces. 😉 There's still hope as I'm in a blue/leftist area and the masks are coming back. I know I am being sarcastic but it's that or actually taking these people at face value. 😉😄
It was what woke me up and sent me down a long rabbit hole that actually led to …. Here! 🤣 If not for the comedically insane mask instructions I may not have noticed odd contradictions, studies that were banned, reports by sane doctors who flew to Substack to be heard. I followed one here, and lo and behold found Jeff. ❤️❤️ I’m a recovering knobheads anonymous. We meet on Thursdays.
Hi, Patti! We live on the crazy side of the Cascades. Whenever we hit I-90 to visit family in Eastern WA, once we get over Snoqualmie Pass, we feel as though a huge, oppressive weight has been lifted off our shoulders and we can breathe freely again. It is jarring (to us) to see people still wearing masks in their cars, or by themselves outside.
I researched how much atmosphere is around us (to figure out how diluted virus particles are in relation to the air around us) and found out the Earth has 5.5 QUADRILLION TONS of atmosphere surrounding us. Have you ever heard anyone refer to something as "parts per quadrillion"? Talk about statistically irrelevant!
Anyway, it is nice to know there is another person in this crazy state who saw through the madness in real time!
Its like walking through the woods with a floating life jacket on.
It has been a little while since I saw someone wearing a mask. I just assume they are sick or old or both. I don't have time to care about their lack of intelligence or their mental illness if it is not sickness or oldness.
update: I just got back from town with some supplies for dinner. The first person I saw while driving into town was a 60–70 year old lady, walking on the side of the road, with a backpack, in a construction zone, with a mask on. bright sunny day very little wind no one around and still masked. Just Incredible!
I would bet big money that she has a septum ring under the mask.
Dinner: Cooking up some green curry chicken for the family tonight.
There were so many Suzy Seamstresses making custom face diapers that cloth had to be rationed, along with dirty undershirts. I heard things got so bad the Clintons donated some more used underwear.
If it was Bill’s briefs prior to his South Beach diet adoption, the Clintons probably saved hundreds with that donation.
I remember the old days when Rush made much of a large Clinton tax return claim for charity donation of used clothing. He said they could make parachutes out of Bill’s silken drawers.
Pastor stayed 10'+ away from everyone even triple masked and changed masks not for the fact that they were wet as bacteria full but depending on the company he was keeping. I think his wife might have been allowed closer. Before 2020 they joked about him being a "germaphobe". Can you really be a Christian and a "phobe"?
The meme was even funnier. Wish I could post it here. On one side was a AAA cup size neatly over the mouth. On the other side was the DD cup size fitting over the mouth AND the top of the head. 😜🤣
I don't understand how ANYONE can stand to wear an N95 mask. My mom's senior citizen residence made me put one on when visiting her a few years ago, and I could barely breathe.
I wouldn't be surprised if people passed out from too much carbon dioxide building up in those things, and then died from lack of oxygen.
The "make your own face mask" instructions, the dancing nurse videos, the stupid arrows on the grocery store floor...all of this would be laughable now IF so many people hadn't died and if those poor people dying in hospitals and nursing homes hadn't had to die alone without a family member because "rules." And of course, the relentless mockery and pressure on those of us who never bowed to their precious vax. I will NEVER forget the sheer cruelty, greed and power play that our own government and medical "professionals" foisted on us. Dark days in history indeed.
In 2020 Americans divided into two groups: Compliant and Skeptical. These groups have grown more divided as the Compliant became Brainwashed and the Skeptical became Anti Institutional (Awake). We live in two Worlds but often times, under one Roof.
The only good news is that demographic is now under replacement level. 25 years from now woksters will be the extinct dinosaurs of a bygone era. Just make sure we inoculate our kids against that derangement syndrome and have at least 5 of your own kids who each have 5 of their own!
Yes, Barbara! Those in my mother’s circle (70+), were and still continue to be the worst as far as their fear level and belief in the lies they were told by the legacy media, and are still being told. In part, I think it’s because they primarily watch TV news. Unfortunately, my mother lost friends during that time because she wouldn’t get the shot.
It was rough!! The medical hostages! Ugh breaks my heart. I remember my brother calling me panicking he had Covid (he has an autoimmune dx also) I was shocked at his panicking. We FaceTimed. He had bought a pulse oximetry device like I had told him. His oxygen was on the lower side but everything else was fine. I told him if he goes to the hospital I can’t help him. I can’t get to him. He called frontline doctors. Got IVM. Did my ‘nursing orders’ and was fine. October to November 2021 I did so many home nursing visits I even printed out nursing orders to follow. Only one person had to send to the hospital and he survived. Ugh rough days/ nights. Nights were the worst. People would get in their heads with fear. 💔
I felt badly for so many that didn’t know how to navigate the resources. I was constantly sharing and repeating to get people information. I knew I had more resources than the average coming from healthcare. I kept my own husband home on oxygen. IV therapy. Meds around the clock with Covid. He should have been in the hospital but we pushed through it was a rough few weeks.
My husband and I got covid early in the winter of 2021 and I immediately contacted America's Frontline Doctors. They connected us with a doctor who provided me with hydroxychloroquine and my husband with ivermectin. It was rough, but we got through it just fine. We remain eternally grateful to the doctors of that fine organization and make substantial contributions to them every year.
I went to the local independent clinic and asked for a script for ivermectin. He said he would write one but knew the local pharmacy wouldn’t fill it so he wrote me a script for hydroxychloroquine instead. After the covid mess was over he eventually closed his clinic. Too bad. He was one of the good guys.
How about all the signs in front of hospitals saying “heroes work here!” . I know hind sight is 20/20, but honestly, we lived through the stupidest time period in history. Glad I never took the jab. And, now my eyes are wide open to all the deception.
Ryder Williams is damn sure a hero. He's paid (a little) to be one every day. As he said, it's his job.
Something tells me he is good kid, one of a huge number in the US. I also suspect he has parents who raised him to meet the challenges of his job and his life. Great Americans, in other words.
The kind of Americans that piss off a lot of democrats, socialists, and cry-bullys. Go Ryder!
💯 it’s a great reminder there are so many good American kids out there. I for one super proud of the kid. So glad he’s a strong swimmer. I’m sure his mom’s heart aches watching that video ugh. I had a great youth employees for 3 years. His parents told him ‘if you see a need, fill the need’ I loved that I use it often with employees.
My son saved a kid, about 11 years old at the time, and his father, who went out to save the kid and got into trouble himself. My son was paddleboarding and retrieved both of them pretty much at the same time. The crazy thing is that the 2 were actually our new neighbors who had just moved in directly across the street from us. They always reminded me of how grateful they were to my son. Made this dad feel good.
Once walked maskless into a grocery store, there was an armed guard 'mask police'. With my best Jack Nicholson blank face I muttered "PTSD", received a shocked look, and was allowed to pass. Hope no one died as a result.
I remember walking into my grocery store with no mask on like a full on rebel. Lotta elderly here and they gave wide berth for the most part with several Karen gasps, but there was ONE other dude in there that was maskless and I looked at him, he at me from across the way and we nodded to each other and kept on shopping. And then there were the ones I'd shake my head at where they were masked, gloved, and practically hazmat suited up, and they'd come right up to me, maskless, and ask me to help them with something seemingly unbothered to which I assumed was just because they felt safe behind all their safety measures. Good times, good times lol
"The dumbest idea in American history came from the CDC."
I dunno. I think CDC had the dumbest TWO lines: that one, plus the "you're not a horse. stop it y'all!" That's definitely in the top 5.
And they wonder why nobody trusts them anymore. Some of the shit you believe while in the cult- or psyop-induced haze are sooo obviously bullcrap years later.
My dad had an expression he would use, “mox nix”. I just looked it up to see it derives from German phrase that sounds the same, and both mean “It doesn’t matter.” FDA,CDC, both were equally complicit in attempting to fool the public, in my humble opinion.
The Conspiracy Community has a good rule regarding staged shootings that is you have to wait about 5 days after the event for the videographers to go thru frame by frame and expose the staging and the screwups. But by then the masses have moved onto the next attention-grabbing headlines and they don't follow up on the shootings.
-Charlie's was easy right away because of the blood. The blood in the squib should have been bright red, not burgundy, ask any nurse. And we're being told he was shot from the front but we're being shown an EXIT WOUND! (Same thing with the 'exploding mic theory, its still an EXIT wound!)
-And WHAT? No crime scene? Where were the forensic investigators, the bullet trajectory lazers? They had that set broken down and GONE within hours and the whole place CONCRETED OVER the next day!!!
-And what about all those people with their cell phones filming it, where are all those videos??? hmmm...
Wrong color blood, EXIT wound, no forensic investigation, and no crowd videos and they concreted the whole site over the next day?!??
I am sorry about your mother. My completely vaccinated father died of a “breakthrough” infection in the fall of 2021. The hospital told me it was extremely rare. No one believed that he was vaccinated because they were sold on the 100% effective propaganda.
Right?! Or my sister's father in law whom they killed with their in-hospital mis-treatment of covid and wouldn't let family or priest in with him while he died? Glad they were yucking it up and having a fun dance party.
I'm so sorry for your loss as well. 💔 I often wonder what things would have been like had we don't nothing at all to "manage" covid. I truly believe we would have been MUCH better off!
I am still so unbelievably *ticked off* about the mask BS, my son had to do Zoom school for a semester until I could take him out of school to homeschool him because the stupid (supposedly red state Republican) governor and even more stupid and evil "health" department head mandated masks for kids at school. And my poor kid was pulling it off all the time because he said he couldn't breathe with it on. His worthless doctor refused to write an exemption, saying that it wasn't "bad enough" to merit one (which is funny that he was even able to tell that because he never bothered to examine my son nor even TALK to him about it!) and my son was apparently just supposed to suffer "for the good of the community." Such absolute BS!!! >:( All while many people who were mandating these or encouraging the mandates KNEW full well that they didn't do a thing to help mitigate the spread of disease or reduce risk. >:(
Agree! We pulled all of our grandkids out to homeschool because of this mask bullsh*t. Blue state- 2 years!!!! Those things were filthy rags and I would pick up a grandson outside ( across the parking lot) and yell to who ever could hear. Take that filthy useless mask off as soon as I got my grandson.
I hate 2020 with a passion...and the intro story on today's newsletter triggered this deep hatred I have towards it. The stupid fake science, the sheep just following along, the fear mongering, the finger pointing against those who were against the manufactured science, the possibility of losing your job while being the sole breadwinner, injections, id cards, everything....it was garbage year and the few years after. It gave me anxiety and mental issues that I am still trying to get rid of. I hate all of it and those who pushed the lie.
Same here! As soon as I read about those times, I'm immediately transported back with a visceral, burning anger and frustration. I'm glad more and more of it is coming into the light of truth though!
You’re surrounded by a plethora of brothers in arms. We are ALL just as angry as you, and we immediately have those same visceral memories triggered as if they were just yesterday, and relive all the emotion. They figured out how to create mass formation PTSD! We are all experiencing it.
I went into 2020 with a feeling of dread, feeling the intense hatred the leftist had for President Trump. I knew they were going to pull out something low down, evil and dirty. And that was how I saw Covid immediately.
If you’ve never been swimming in the Pacific, it’s hard to fathom the forces at play when the water is like this. The undertow is extreme - this young lifeguard needed help from teammates because he knew he couldn’t get the ten year old all the way in by himself because of the undertow in knee-deep water. Unbelievable rescue. Really unbelievable bravery.
There are days I am more than the usual thankful, for your posts, Jeff. During these evil and perilous times (all subjective to where one lives), to read your share about feeding the cat made me laugh out loud all by myself. On another note, I am eager to open your posts again that start out "Today's TERRIFIC roundup includes...". Thank you for all you do for your readers. Occasionally I do pray that you never really have to follow through with betting Michelle's Tahoe and losing the bet. 😅. May God continue to protect you and bless you!!!
Ditto. Ditto. Ditto. I wish I had the power to pin your comment to the top! Thanks for articulating what’s in all our hearts.
The cat food had me laughing too. I think we underfeed ours because I’m a Scrooge given we have two cats and two dogs and spend almost as much on their food as our own! And so I hate any waste, and when I feed more of the canned foods there is always some left on the bowls.
My one kitty likes to fake starve every time someone enters the kitchen hoping they will think she wasn’t just fed 30 minutes earlier. Stinker.
Lol!! Animals .... what would we do withour them ... maybe have more cash but we would lack their complete adoration of us (dogs) snd their utter disdain of us (cats). 😅 Thanks for appreciating my comment!!! Yours gave me equal laughter!!!
Shameful confession: I made masks for my hubs and myself out of old t shirts, following a guide very similar to the one in the post. But we only wore them in places that had strict enforcement and where we could not avoid going, promise. Later on I discovered the ones on Etsy that looked "real" from a distance but were really porous up close, and we used those when necessary. I got braver as the sham went on, but in the early days there was so much uncertainty, and we succumbed (briefly) to the fear.
No need to be ashamed. The propaganda and pressure were relentless, and you didn't hurt anyone. Being an ornery troubleshooter and often accused of being a disruptor, I saw the stupid immediately, but I went along with it when in public to avoid confrontations. Then there were those on the other extreme, harassing people who wore masks. This led to some cancer patients undergoing chemo and wearing a mask when in public to be harassed. My attitude is if it makes one feel more secure, wear one and both sides should leave others alone.
I avoided wearing them as much as possible. I got berated in stores, and got bolder over time. I eventually got masks from FakeMaskUSA. I've kept one just in case, but I will be less "compliant" if this ever happens again.
🤣🤣🤣 so I went searching to see what that was. I couldn’t find it but I found others. One site sells Surgical Blue Incognito Face Mask USA, and the description killed me 🤣:
“Guess what? Cloth masks don’t do anything. Neither does this masterpiece. But at least you can breathe now.
The biggest of the big fakes has arrived, our Incognito Surgical Blue covering. For those of you looking to spice things up with a splash of heavenly blue, we’ve got the perfect solution for you.”
“Great for ultra Karen environments such as airplanes, banks, PTA meetings, etc.”
Hahahahaha “Neither does this masterpiece.” I’m coughing from laughing. Lololol
Coughing?! Unmasked?! You're not afraid we'll turn you in? lololol ~ Best part of the blue nothings was the unadvertised pulmonary microplastics thrown in for every user *for free!*
I got bolder and bolder too. My favorite was once I walked into Walmart and the greeter said "Do you have a mask, ma'am?" and I replied "Yes. Yes I do" and kept on walking.
I’ve kept two fake masks because I now know how foolish the majority of the public would act. I don’t trust the government or the state not to try this again.
I made masks also. No way I was going to contribute to ocean pollution by wearing disposable masks.
Also, I cut slits in it so that I could breathe better. And, like you, I only wore it when I was in places with terrorized employees who were convinced that they would die if someone came in without a mask. They were forced to be there, so no way I was going to argue with their brainwashing.
lol, my yearly gross income sits at full time federal minimum wage. ~$14K.
the Infernal Revenue Suckers expect 25% off of the top of that, and I am no longer eligible for the EIC as I do not have an eligible aged child to qualify me anymore.
the migrants can suck it. they get more money from the government for NOT working than I earn as a wage slave.
As a counterpoint, I was one of the 1% of physicians who did not believe the mask and vaccine baloney, and I told patients and friends as much. I want from 35 patients a day to 5 a week because people were afraid to mix in my waiting room, fearing contagion. I relinquished my license in July 2020 after 45 years of practice. I saw what organized medicine and government health "experts" had done to our profession, and I could no longer be a part of such a system.
Same here. I spent way too much time reassuring anxious parents that their children were not at risk of dying from Covid or should not be given the jab, educating my colleagues that someone who had recovered from Covid 4 weeks ago was ok to be seen by them now for their mechanical low back pain, that a whole family who was asymptomatic did not need Covid tests just because they were exposed to a friend whose brother had Covid, that the number of cycle times we were doing on the PCR test for Covid was set arbitrarily too high and was identifying fragments of Covid spike protein from people who had successfully recovered from Covid weeks earlier, that classifying patients who had been run over by a bus or shot in the chest and who had a Covid test performed in the emergency room that was positive DID NOT MEAN THEY DIED FROM COVID, ad infinitum.
In California I risked losing my license had Newsom’s medieval law passed regarding physician’s disseminating “false information”.
👏Thank you Dr Clark for being courageous and speaking truth! We need more like you not less!
Yes, thank you, Dr. Clark!
And Dr. Drass. I hate the idea of losing physicians who have long experience with actual medicine and the perverse manipulation of it. We need your wisdom!
Wasn’t it just painful! I was on repeat. Our businesses were turned into the ‘Covid response team’ in Olympia WA. I fielded so many phone calls when people would turn us in for not requiring patrons to wear a mask. Not handing out masks. Not having hand sanitizer at the entry for all customers. The list goes on. It was costly as a small business owner. We were threatened by the Covid team that they would send an under cover team member to evaluate our store. I welcomed them and said we do not discriminate and that they will be treated like everyone else. Happy to keep taking your calls. I stayed vague and friendly. When we refused service to the CEO of the local hospital the calls increased because people were turning us in for refusing service 😂 bring it on! It was an intense time
During Covid, my middle aged group of men took our normal basketball played indoors to outdoor courts (here in PNW). We would rotate different public school courts. And yes we played unmasked.
Twice, someone called the police on us for being unmasked. Both times we softly told police to bug off. And the cops left. Weird times.
Wow! Good for you. Cops knew they had no standing at least the smart ones
The other wild thing I recall was hearing about some of my wife’s friends - who came home with groceries and then spraying outside of packages in garage with windex before bringing inside. There was also concern at my office about receiving courier parcels from Asia, especially China. Was the virus lurking on the exterior of the package? We humans are such sheep!
Videos like this one from early 2020 scared the crap out of people.
https://rumble.com/v1xow0m-thefakestnews.html
Where Chinese were seemingly dropping dead in public. But soon enough, one could see this only occurred in China, but nowhere else 🤔
I remember videos of people describing being sick with covid that it was just like a cold, & then suddenly, those videos disappeared. I remember DeBlasio telling people in NY to go to the theatre, out to eat, it was ok! Also remember Nancy Pelosi standing in the middle of a bunch of oriental people saying it was ok to celebrate the Chinese New Year, etc, etc, etc. Then that all changed, & people were being arrested for walking around outside.
I never have gotten to the bottom of China's involvement in the Covid Terror Campaign. But no doubt China was involved up to their neck. And my speculation remains that China was integral to the entire psychological operation.
I can see that the Covid Terror favored consolidating 'social' control of the domestic population in China. And I can see that regular Chinese people, some or a lot, were not happy with being locked up in their apartment building by their dear leaders. And I can see that the video footage from China shown for public consumption has a manufactured look, and basically is not any different than our own domestic propaganda consumption.
All of this plus today's masking recounting gives pause. Is there any hope at all? And the Iran affair, like Covid Terrorism, is yet another House of Cards based in outright lies. And some people like MTG and Massie get de-platformed for telling us the truth about who and what is behind the Iran debacle. Nothing much has changed in the larger picture even though there have been a few wins for us.
My neighbor had a table set up in her garage and she wiped all of her groceries with Lysol wipes. She called me one day and was very alarmed because she saw me get my mail and told me that I needed to leave the mail in the mailbox for at least 48 hours so that the virus would "die". Insane.
My Daughter and her MiL were removed from a Hobby Lobby store (yes, Oregon) and the sheriff was called. My daughter told the manager "great 'we'll wait outside for him". Sheriff arrived, said sorry for the trouble. I can't make you wear a mask but it's up to you what you want to do. Management may have the right to file a trespass on you. My Daughter and her MiL left the store, setting the example for the day.
My daughter and myself were kicked out of a Costco, I'm so proud of my little girl!
P.S. anyone notice Costco removing ICE machines? My local store did, right as summer started. I wonder why...
The whole left coast went batshit crazy, but Oregon and Washington may have been a special kind of stupid. Remember the guy alone in his kayak a mile from shore with no mask? $30,000 to send a Coast Guard chopper to bring him in. So glad my wife and I escaped from there. We saw Kristi Noem's commercial "Come to South Dakota. More hunting and less covid." We love it here.
And on the flip side of your basketball meetings, I came across a group of women (peloton) cyclists who, while waiting for their food, spent all their time explaining to each other how to cheat the system and cut the line to received the vaxx. I still wonder now how many are still alive or injuried or biking?
For what it’s worth, most of my basketball buddies were 1st and 2nd generation Persians (American) who had fled Iran in 1979. I was the ‘minority’ white guy ;)
Well my peloton ladies were the beginning of the Karen syndrome maybe? LOL
My friend’s 30-something daughters volunteered at our local PH Clinic to get the jab before the elderly, immuno-compromised, etc. They quit after their first day—they got the shot and were out of there.
🤦♀️🙄
Police don’t bully men very much … women are easy targets, we usually fold before the police even show up 😭
nah, if you haven't done anything wrong keep your spine shiney. You can have a spine of steel while still being polite. As long as you are following legal instructions and being polite, they really have nothing to pressure you over. It's when people get snarly, start cursing and belligerent that you are endangering yourself.
Officers are people too, have families and most do not want to hassle people who are respectful and polite. You may get a warning, but that is about it. see SPH's post above.
Now, if some headcase has somehow weaseled his way onto the force, word usually gets out pretty quick about those people and once reported a few times, and counseling doesn't fix it, they tend to get highly encouraged to move on or to find a different career. And its best they move away from the entire county, because their former work mates KNOW and will be keeping an eye on them. Most good officers despise people who make their jobs more dangerous or difficult.
Today the local hospital has announced “the removal of all COVID 19 related reports and sections” from the EMR. We use Epic, one of the largest EMR’s. Hmm
No longer reimbursed. Public funding was the underlying key.
I have a friend that works at Stanford and quietly all Covid crap went away years ago now. Used to on the banner across the of the EMR. NOT VACCINATED 😂😂😂 she said she sees nothing anymore. Vaccination is not a factor. I bet people eating a transplant are still getting questioned
wish I had come accross your group. I am IN your city and the situation here is bad..... can't discover a decent doc. even now.
Tio Nico I second Patti’s recommendation about finding a homeopathic practitioner. They don’t even have to be local. Homeopathy treats symptoms which is different than allopathy therefore you can have a telephone consultation with a homeopathic practitioner and they will prescribe the remedies that will take care of your symptoms.
Here are two links where you can search for a practitioner.
https://homeopathycenter.org/find-a-homeopath/
https://homeopathyusa.org/directory-physicians/
Tio Nico check out homeopathy and homeopathic practitioners. Also see Joette Calabrese many things you can treat in your own. The more chronic and harder dx get help. Hard to treat yourself and loved ones
Thank you,doctor. I hope your patients appreciate how incredibly fortunate they are. Any chance you work in N. California?😉
SoCal, but I retired in 2022 after 45 years of practice (more years practicing last century than this one😂, truly “old school”)
Congratulations! I trust you are living your best life.
During the Covid Terrorism, all normal flu mysterious vanished, all cause mortality did not rise (not until the 'vaccine'), suddenly everyone was dying from Covid and nothing else (according to the death certificates), the PCR test was a sham and so who had what was indeterminate ... and yet everyone still talks as though Covid was the pandemic and not an engineered hysteria with multiple nefarious motives attached. In effect, our sloppy language choices perpetuate enabling illusions detached from material facts, from reality as pertains to that mysterious word 'covid' and the pandemic that never was.
Why?
"... and yet everyone still talks as though Covid was the pandemic and not an engineered hysteria..."
Why? I'd like to hear how you would answer that but what pops into my mind is Stockholm Syndrome but on a mass scale. By using language that STILL assumes "Covid" was real legitimatizes the Psyops. We perpetuate our own prison. What that means is that we have not reached the point of a revolution or revolt. WE ARE STILL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE PSYOPS.
It also kind of explains why no one has admitted they were wrong about the pandemic. I often wonder why so many friends and relatives won’t admit to being mask Nazi’s during the period. Most of these were good, conservative people who were scared to death by the media and the health communities. My nephew was a hospital head. He’s young, caring, and a good doctor, but he did health ads urging people to mask up while wearing a mask. They have pigeon holed the whole experience. They know they were wrong, but stack it up to, “we just didn’t know”. And neither did they bother to find out. The hysteria was everywhere.
After the Soviets raised the Red Flag in Berlin in 1945, nobody wanted to discuss the glories of the Third Reich. The worry was to eat, save their skins and get on with life in the new evolving Germanies. It was the same in Italy and in Japan. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
Hitler probably could have pulled of the New Germany project, but too many mistakes were made. Like assuming America with steel production seven to eight times that of Germany would not come into the war and attacking a la Napoleon the great expanse of Russia. And all of this balanced against resource and the economic production base.
And now Trump is making the same kind of mistakes. And nobody wants to talk about this. But the smart money knows what is going and the smart money is redeploying.
Good examples of the same syndrome.
Sadly,I agree. What happens now? Thank you.
I suppose, as is usually the case with the human race, this will just have to play out until the entire system in the US collapses in fiscal bankruptcy. I would not have a clue about that except that Armstrong's Socrates is pegging 2032 as the year everything changes. The implication is that beyond that the current USG is no more. As Dave said above, "But the smart money knows what is going and the smart money is redeploying."

"...It’s understandable that most people think that virology is a proper scientific discipline and that challenging the existence of viruses is ludicrous.
However, the fact is that viruses are fictional and we want it known that the direct, simple task of proving the existence of any virus hasn’t ever been done..."

Thank you, Dr. Clark, for caring enough to tell the truth. I had to go to the doctor to get blood work done for Thyroid medication & the doctor's office was in the very rural area of Sale Creek Tennessee! They did not allow anyone inside the office & you had to "drive through" under a covered area and see a nurse practitioner and not even allowed to get out of your vehicle. You either had to roll down your window or open your door so the nurse could check your blood pressure and talk to you and step outside your car door to get blood drawn. This was in October and very cold that day. I was very irritated to say the least and my blood pressure was high, and she said I needed to take blood pressure medication and insist she write a prescription and I said go ahead but I wasn't going to fill it. Remember, I was there to get blood work so I could get my thyroid medication refilled! This only added to my distrust of the medical establishment. I did not take the jab & refused to wear a mask! Very dark and horrible time! God bless you Dr. Clark for being honest and caring for your patients.
Thank you,too, for your courage. I appreciate you.
Thank you for standing courageously though once the mandate was enforced by the administration to any company who had gov contracts, there was little available to circumvent it and that phase resulted in terrible ongoing damage.
I live in So CA. I avoid doctors as much as possible now, but I would have driven hours to go to a doctor like you.
Thank you, thank you, for standing strong and speaking truth. It was so essential.
Cheers! Nurse for 20+ and left April 2020. I was embarrassed to be honest. I was laughed out of meetings. These same doctors, nurses and administrators knew they didn’t believe the crap but in public followed like dutiful little idiot soldiers. I am still embarrassed. Angry. No trust in healthcare. Found homeopathy. Learning a real medicine. Cheers to the strong ones that left the BS
Hey, Patti, I retired from nursing in 2018 so I dodged the bullying. But I was astonished to see nurses I knew falling right in line with the useless masking. They scoffed at me for refusing the vaccine. I now raise my own herbs and patronize the local farmers markets. The healthcare system has fallen and that might not be a bad thing.
To respond to you nurses went a long with the crap… karma! I was made fun and ridiculed. People were savages. Mean. I get worked up about it still. I always say stay humble because it takes nothing to knock you down. I have ZERO respect for most all healthcare in my valley/ state! Weak cowards that could have changed the coarse of history yet here we are with a huge black embarrassing mark. Congratulations on retiring in 2018. I would have stayed for another 2 decades I loved my desk job reading charts for reimbursement and severity of illness but not at the cost of my soul
You would love homeopathy! Check out Joette calabrese learning center. I would have ditched nursing all together to do this. Practical homeopathy is amazing stuff
I will definitely check that out! Thank you!
Oh let me know what you think! I just finished a class - all healthcare workers! One gals cholesterol went from 245 down to 173 with homeopathy 💪🏽
Yes, homeopathy, naturopathy, herbs, organic, you name it there are far better ways to heal,restore and boost immunity. You chose well my sister. God bless you.
Yes Patti, I am afraid your entire career was spent inside a sham industry. I never “felt good” about the “care” I received from my doctors but I became aware during Covid that virtually all modern medical practice is useless or harmful. My family and I no longer participate in it. We use mostly home remedies and UC or ER when we have an urgent medical need I cannot attend to at home. It is good you and I know now and we are raising up a generation that will also know it at least be told. Occasionally I have to interact with the medical establishment (this morning, in fact, had to get a special state form filled out for my son’s physical so he can attend school) … I leave these interactions frustrated and TOTALLY disenfranchised … so little thinking exercises in medicine today. I am not going to trash talk the nurse and nurse practitioner we saw today but I was NOT IMPRESSED. Ugh!!!
Belle…I “feel you” as the kids say these days… once you see the truth so many previously unresolved gut feelings or spider-sense moments suddenly “make sense” as it were. Not only did I work inside the belly of the beast (healthcare) for 40ish years but I grew up watching Marcus Welby, Dr. Kildare, Medical Center and Ben Casey. Now I am sad to say these wonderful shows were of course largely propaganda as are of course every show ever made for TV or the big screen. Hat tip to Neil Postman so powerfully argued in “Amusing Ourselves To Death” who helped me see that truth.
As far as my healthcare career (Info Tech-Data), we made careers and were paid well getting our share of a 6Trillion$$ industry promising to solve the same problems year after year. COVID hit near the end for me and watching it from inside the belly of the beast was truly frightening.
Now we primarily use natural paths and common sense. If I break my leg I will be forced to reenter the allopathic environs and hope to escape physically mended and psychologically sound. Yes, a bit melodramatic but as you said, I don’t trust them at all.
We have given up trying to argue or educate most of the brainwashed and just discreetly wince and deflect when our family or friends ask “did you get tested for COVID” every time we have a sniffle or headache.
Do you use homeopathy? If not check out Joette calabrese and her learning center. HIGHLY recommend ❤️ life changing.
I learned a lot thru my years that help me now so I can’t say it’s a total loss. I also have life long friends out of healthcare because we were in the trenches of hell together. The good ones are still my friends even tho their choices were different they supported me and I hope they feel supported by me. Check it out and let me know your thoughts
I had to wear a mask in my doctors waiting room, but when he came into the exam room, he told me I could take it off if I wanted to. It was all performative.
One trip to the doctor's office had me being one of the first patients seen after lunch. When I came into the back area separate from the waiting room, they were all finishing lunch, putting on masks, finishing their lunch, and going back to the respective areas. It felt like being backstage at a play.
"...backstage at a play." Nailed it, B-F.
I stayed with my husband when he had to stay overnight in the hospital following a back surgery in January 2021 and saw the same thing. I went out to get coffee in the early morning and all the nurses at the nurses station were sitting around talking with masks pulled down. They knew the masks were useless.
In the summer of 2020, I was having an eye problem so I made an appointment at our small optometrists office for an exam. I had to announce my arrival when I got in the parking lot by calling the office. When I was told I could come in, I had to wait at the door while one of the assistants unlocked and unbolted the door. Immediately, after entering the masked assistant relocked and bolted the door again. Everyone was masked. I asked the optometrist why all these precautions. His reply was “they were following the CDC guidelines”. I felt like I was in a third world country.
Similar experience here. Had serious eye issue in December of 2021, which was likely from vaccinated people shedding on me. The eye doctor's office still required calling from the parking lot to enter and masking the entire time. After getting my eyes scanned with some machine, I had to get my eyesight checked. I was unable to see the wall eye chart with my mask on, as it would make my glasses askew. I asked to remove my mask, and the young female physician assistant acted like I asked for the moon, and she was so afraid she'd catch Covid, that she actually stepped outside the exam room and had me state the letters I saw loud enough for her to hear on the other side of the cracked door. I thought it was ludicrous and said, "you know, even if you got Covid, you're young and likely healthy enough that it would do next to nothing to you." After that, for some reason (🙄🤔), she was quite cold towards me.
Like a Twilight Zone episode
I was fired for refusing to wear a mask in the dr office, and I just said, call me when this nonsense is over, but a week later, I got a letter saying because I refused to wear a mask, I would not be allowed back in the office. Ever.
I got fired for refusing a Covid test on me when I was at an appointment for my son. Had never seen this nut job as my own doctor. I refused. She chased me out to the parking lot like a lunatic. I refused again and left. Wrote her an email criticizing her treatment of me and was fired. I’m a healthcare professional myself
Probably listed as ‘non-compliant’ patient. Pharma requires compliance and pays doctors handsomely for patient compliance so letting you go improves their ‘score’ & nets more revenue.
Yes! I refused every vaccine; shingles, flu, Covid.
Wow, never thought of that.
Wow. What insanity.
Wow. That is just beyond the pale!
My husband got fired way before Covid for complaining to a nurse that the medication he was on made his ankles balloon and something needed to be done and she got pissy with him. So she whined to the doc and they fired him.
That is so strange...another example where people think that any disagreement is hate?
Nuts
So sorry about that. I respect your adherence to your values.
So sorry that happened to you. Hope you found better employment!
Same for me. I posted my story under Edward Drass.
You were lucky. I took mine off (before I found the Fake Mask website and bought several) in the exam room and was yelled at by the Karen physician for removing it.
God, please bless the Fake Mask Cabal. I hope they are all rich-rich-rich.
I posted my problem with my doctor's office to Edward Drass. Similar
I was made to wait in my car if I had a fever, but I could remove the mask in the exam room. I don't have a doctor anymore. I quit going after COVID.
Same. I do see my eye doctor and my independent holistic NP but never went back to the other doctors (family doctor and ob-gyn). I trusted them but conditionally--and they lost my trust with the way they behaved during Covid.
Thank God my doc is an osteopath and didn’t even offer the shots. I went to a cardiologist, didn’t wear a mask, noticed the receptionist didn’t either and thought that was a good sign. Doc came into the examination room wearing cargo pants and a sports team shirt and had long hair and I thought “oh, cool a nonconformist” but then I saw the mask. So he’s talking to me through the mask and I say, “ you can take your mask off so I can understand you better” and he says “ no and you should have one on”. I told him no that they don’t really work and that was that. He set up another appointment but I declined. What a disappointment.
Oy!
Ugh, that is very disappointing for sure :/
Yep- eye doctor and dentist only.
Free dental care is more important than ‘health care’ in my opinion, now. The doctors blew it. Believed the CDC full press. My PA in-law did, too, until his 4th shot sent him to ICU. He bought the story hook, line and stinker. Told us we were nuts for believing the conspiracy theories. My other in-law, ER doc, has Parkinson's and probably still takes all the vaccines. Ugh! The medical school brainwashing was the only thing effective. And it ain't safe!
I agree. Your dental health impacts the rest of your health.
The last time my husband was in a hospital, 2022, I was told he needed a covid test, a nasal swab, I said no. Three times. Then, some Indian woman doctor that I couldn’t understand insisted. I said no. The next day, a charge nurse came to his room and said: “thank you, over 70% ??of the nurses threatened to quit if they were made to take those shots” He had been care flighted to Tyler, TX, where every time he saw one of his doctors, we were pressured to take Covid shots. One PA even told us how safe there are and she was nursing her baby. See how safe?”
I will never understand the lemmings.
How do you get “free” dental care? Somebody has to pay for it.
Depends on the person. I give free car repair assistance all the time. OCD people would argue that it isn't free because I expended my time. Just like I paid for this answer.
Gala to hear he’s retiring . Good riddance.
Me too. The "blood sticker" wanted to draw my blood in the PARKING LOT! How absurd.
😂
Smart move!
I have a physician (conservative) relative who was absolutely sure that masks were necessary. I tried discussing it with her, even asking about if her surgical practice used them prior to COVID19. I don’t talk with her about COVID19 times anymore, mostly not to embarrass her. She always got better grades growing up than I did, but I am starting to think that a lot of doctors were just good test takers. They’re still trying to get A’s.
Totally agree! Got to say though, all these Covid Karens should be embarrassed and admit their foolishness. Instead they now cowardly say NOTHING.
...They still hide behind their masks....
I always thought it was hilarious that someone alone in a car would be wearing a mask....
Valerie… Or walk around with the mask covering their mouth yet under their nose with nostrils exposed.
Thing is, I, like most everyone reading this see the absurdity of it. I did from the start, never wore one. Never. The businesses that refused to serve me I've never returned to. Many, karmic justice-like, have since gone out of business. I laugh out loud, HaHaHa! when I see one closed, then say they had it coming for being assholes to their customers.
That said, it truly was a massive psychological warfare campaign against the public. We are in an Information Age. Like the Copper Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age, Nuclear Age, each Age develops weapons with the new technology to go along with the tools they produce. And armed with those weapons go to war with the advantages the new technology provides them to gain whatever resources or power those with the new technology want.
We are currently in the middle of the first World War of the Information Age. And the battlefield is for our minds. Where our minds go our bodies will follow. Those whose minds were/are not prepared for the attacks on their minds will become the victims/already are the victims.
Maskers today are those victims of the massive Information War PsyOp that was deployed against their minds. That they left totally undefended. In kinetic war we see casualties like missing arms, missing legs, disfigured, scarred faces. In this Information war we see casualties in the form of masked faces. (And mutilated children.)
As my first instinct remains yours when I see someone alone in a car wearing a mask, or anywhere, stores, parks, etc, and my laughter begins to turn to anger at the sight of masked faces, I remind myself that they are victims, casualties of the war on our minds. A masked face = a missing leg. It is largely the same.
And the thing is, those who complied with masking but knew better are complicit. They may have thought to themselves they didn't want to scare granny any more than she already was with an open face, didn't want to fight with the Karen's demanding they mask. So they complied.
And their compliance normalized masking, which reinforced the Information War PsyOp. The twist of fate is that those who knew better but wore the mask to not scare granny were actually scaring granny into becoming forever maskers. The PsyOp had people terrorizing each other, those whose minds weren't prepared became the casualties.
Which means that anyone who wore the mask is complicit in creating the casualties we see still wearing masks. And if you object to that, which many will, you are in denial about your complicity. "But, but, but, I couldn't shop or do what I wanted to do without one, I'd have lost my job, I'd have missed my doctor appointment." True. But there was a price for complying. And it is on the forever masked faces you still see today. The social-emotional and language skill development in children.
The "Fear Amplification" of masks (a Behavioral Science, BS, term of art that was chosen by BS'ers to 'treat' our "Optimism Bias" they diagnosed us with when we didn't believe them about the flu) was their "best protection" NPI, as CDC head Robert Redfield said when he held up a mask before congress and said that. The non-clinical word for "Fear Amplification" is "Terrorize." Our government conscripted the public to terrorize each other. And masked faces today are the most visible long-term casualties of that terrorism. The product of the first World War of the Information Age.
This country is under attack in a manner that is incomprehensible to the vast majority of the population.
It is as you say.
I had a little book of my grandmother's music, of hymns, anthems, popular songs of the day, and in the German anthem and popular songs, a black line was drawn through all the words. This was done during the time of the First World War.
When I was in my late twenties, I had an friend who was a friend of my father (who had already passed). He told me a story about a business customer of his, a German national ... probably a man who bought finished leather from him. Part of the story was how he paid all of this German man's insurance premiums in America during the Second World Ward in order to keep the policy in force.
Some people's minds are totally subjected by government propaganda. Others see beyond the mind control and manipulation of emotions, and still perform kind acts. I have never forgotten this example of contrasts.
I know really. Even today I see people masking up in stores and think how sad but then I say that I have to allow them the freedom to wear a mask if I want people to allow me the right to not wear one.
I like to think that...then I have the realization that those who are still masking were and will be again the mask Nazi Karen's demanding we mask up the next time. They obviously believe in them. Only reason they are staying silent now is because the broad public isn't behind them, and nor are authorities or businesses. But make no mistake, 90% of the masked faces you see will either bark commands at you or demand authorities force you to mask/remove you from a premises next go round.
For them freedom is a one-way street. Their minds are broken, they've been Stockholm Syndromed. Captives of kidnappers who've been SS'd have been known to pick up guns and fire at police rescuers trying to rescue them. Information War same type of casualty.
There are still masked up people here in PNW. I see them occasionally. Most of the time it’s a younger person with piercings and dyed hair, but not always. The ones that are really wild are those inside cars alone, wearing a mask. That is a visible sign of mental illness I tell my wife when we see them. Wife doesn’t like that I’m mean that way. I better check if my wife is following correct dog food instructions.
I live in CA and they are the same down here. Even driving the car alone with a mask. I say the same derogatory things about these people to my wife as do you. She doesn't like it either.
LOL on the dog food comment.
If interested I wrote a long comment above yours that I just as well could've written under yours. It's truly sad. For different reasons than we think.
Yes they do
What a wonderful insight: "They're still trying to get A's." Yes, they still want approval, the kind of status they had before. They, wearing their white coats, often with stephascopes around the neck have been at the top of the "respect" food chain for more than a century. It was always with pride that I heard a parent, especially a Mom say, "My son is a doctor." I don't think they were better at testing, good certainly, and good at memory stuff, but think of all those smart ones who became lawyers and scientists and mathematicians. I think the key is when you noticed that they are still trying to get A's. To me, that says it all.
My dad was a doctor and a great one. He passed away prior to COVID, thankfully, and I'm sure wouldn't have put up with the nonsense that went on. I tell people often that not every MD graduated at the top of their class. There was always a bottom quarter....
I told a friend to ask her DR where he finished in medical school and watch his reaction. lol
Something to think about.
I think that those of us who did not ace tests, were not necessarily stupid, but rather, just couldn't comply with the indoctrination system baked into education. This sounds a bit like a rationalization, though. Was I lazy because I did not want to comply with the indoctrination of education, or was it that education simply was not my cup of tea because I was lazy?
My sister who aced tests, and works in education, has a PhD, was all in on masking. I was a C student.
Just goes to prove that "high intelligence" does not necessarily mean one has the ability to think for himself. True operational intelligence (for lack of a better word) is an independent mind. The rest are high IQ slaves.
It's why I can't bring myself to call those who complied "stupid." I know plenty of smart people who adhered to everything covid.
'Smart' people falling for the biggest lies is true!
“the more highly educated a man is along certain lines, the easier he is to dupe."
“The Higher the Education Level One Has, the Sillier He Is”
Over a century ago Harry Houdini shared insights about fooling smart people. In "Houdini Exposes the Tricks":
https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-brooklyn-daily-eagle-houdini-margery/4691118/
Many know Houdini as the magician. But not as many know he spent the last decades of his life as a political activist. He traveled around the nation and testified before Congress and many state legislatures. Trying to get mediums, seances and psychics banned. He blamed them for scamming his mother out of her money, giving her false hope she could communicate with a loved one who passed. He traced the influences of the mediums back to several White Houses. Including Pres. Lincoln, Mary hosted seances there. As did many other presidents who followed.
In his testimony he often said, “the more highly educated a man is along certain lines, the easier he is to dupe." There's something to it, along the lines of higher education makes us capable of rationalizing and justifying nearly anything we can conceive of.
George Orwell wrote of the same phenomenon. Of the regular common sense folks who see right through the lies:
"they are at once too sane and too stupid to acquire the totalitarian outlook."
The Prevention of Literature
George Orwell
Polemic, January, 1946
https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/the-prevention-of-literature/
"Meanwhile, totalitarianism has not fully triumphed anywhere. Our own society is still, broadly speaking, liberal. To exercise your right of free speech you have to fight against economic pressure and against strong sections of public opinion, but not, as yet, against a secret police force. You can say or print almost anything so long as you are willing to do it in a hole-and-corner way. But what is sinister, as I said at the beginning of this essay, is that the conscious enemies of liberty are those to whom liberty ought to mean most. The big public do not care about the matter one way or the other. They are not in favour of persecuting the heretic, and they will not exert themselves to defend him. They are at once too sane and too stupid to acquire the totalitarian outlook. The direct, conscious attack on intellectual decency comes from the intellectuals themselves."
FF - And even the Chinese communists shared insights about fooling smart people during Mao's reign using infectious disease to fundamentally transform the nation from nationalist into communist. This book also introduced the concept of "Disease Politics" - yes, health, disease, plandemics ARE political!:

Chapter 13.2 “The Higher the Education Level One Has, the Sillier He Is”
FactCheck: TRUE!
And there's even more interesting chapters and subchapter titles that are expounded on when reading the book (requires purchase now, used to have free one downloadable/viewable online). Such as:

8 State of “the People” [The Collective]
9.4 “To Combine Health Campaigns with Mass Movements” ["We're in this together! Together we can beat this!"]
10.3 The “Cleanness” of the State and Legitimacy Construction [Only "clean" people can legitimately function in society. The others are dirty. "Dirty Jews!" “Unvaxxed!”]

19 A Public Country and Its Expansion [Collectivist governance vs. individualist rights]
20 The Logic of Disease Politics ["The pandemic isn't political! There's no "plandemic." We're just following The Science (TM)! You're a science-denier, selfish, conspiracy theorist, death cult."]
FF - 'Smart' people are known to be very susceptible to the pollicization of any subject. Much moreso than people with ordinary intelligence while possessing simple common sense. 'Smart' minds can be made hyper-malleable, able to rationalize and justify anything, even sudden shifts from demonstrable, unassailable knowledge to their opposite contradiction. 'Smart' minds are capable of Olympic medal-winning gymnastics to believe something provably false when asserted by those in positions they trust, no matter how patently absurd or contradictory they are.
And remember Voltaire's caution: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." It is the 'smartest' people who commit, orchestrate atrocities. No. We don't "trust the experts." We won't "trust the experts." We do our own research. And are guided by our own common sense. There's a very good reason Thomas Paine titled his pamphlet "Common Sense" when arousing notions of freedom among the colonists who "trusted the experts" like the King told them to do. Lessons for us today are in that 250-year-old+ work.
I.E., "high intelligence" does not necessarily mean one has the ability to think for himself. True operational intelligence (for lack of a better word) is an independent mind. The rest are high IQ slaves.
We need a better IQ paradigm based on "operational intelligence". We keep letting them educate our children through "their" paradigms which returns us to square one every generation.
One of the best, if not the best check on the highly intelligent impressed by their own smarts is faith in God, Almighty. Humility. And serenity. If only more smart people understood their limitations are real, so much of life is completely out of their control.
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time.
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as he did, the sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that he will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever.
—Reinhold Niebuhr, 1892-1971
But there is a troubling correlation between high intelligence and atheism. So many highly intelligent have thought their way into believing there is no God, that they know all that is important to know, and that they can use their smarts and tools they invent to control a world, even the microbiological and atmospheric world. They do not possess the wisdom to know the difference between things they cannot change. Nor are they particularly courageous.
Spot on FF. And not just Atheism. Atheism is a faith as much as any religion because the only god left in their faith is Man, ie, Humanism. There is no other reference point. I am reminded of Saul, an extremely intelligent and motivated person who God had to blind to get his attention where after he became the Apostle Paul. He was THAT difficult to convert. And a very humbling experience to Paul as he had to live with the memory of how he persecuted people prior to his encounter with God.
So, I think the humility of faith in God gives the wisdom that is the prerequisite to what I called "operational intelligence". I don't think we're going to find that on an IQ test.
Amen
There are many highly intelligent persons that still believe the nonsense.
I bet they watch a lot of WEF Eyewitless news.
Yes. I find I don’t want to embarrass friends who were terrified into submission by talking about any of this,these days….but,it really does not feel great. It feels like they SHOULD be embarrassed by their behavior..
Ugh
Patti, receive this nomination for your post to be considered for "Bumper Sticker of the Year!" While, a little, terse, and ambiguous, it nevertheless captures Quite Well Indeed the feelings most of us have regarding the world we live in. Seeing this on a car in front while waiting at a stop, drivers will know "someone else gets it too!" Thank you and good luck in the competition.
I second that!
Memorize and regurgitate. Interpersonal skills? Critical thought? Not so much.
DOCTOR Drass, I am sorry for the end and manner of the end of your career. Like educators, I hope your memories are buoyed by the sure knowledge that, whether "they" think of you or not, there are hundreds/thousands? of people going about their days "normally" because of your assistance. YOU did that. Well done, good and faithful servant.
Well said. We need MORE doctors like Dr. Drass and Clark not fewer. So sad and unnecessary. 😢
I think it's going to take direct advertising for doctors to get their trust back. Like the lawyers do. The shite ones will do what the shite ones do, but the good ones will use their 30-60 seconds to convince us that they're not cowards. Or that they are sorry... I'm fairly sure I'd schedule a visit with a medico who put up an ad saying s/he was sorry.
Indeed.
I'm sorry the system lost another good one but it seems like you had a good run with 45 years.
I appreciate your honesty and courage, and sorry we lost a good physician to the stupidity of the Covid nonsense.
It’s so sad how many good doctors and nurses our nation lost due to the government causing them to step away from their careers. I can’t for the life of me find a really good doctor near me that isn’t captured/trained by the system. My doctor retired two years ago and has not yet been replaced. Not for a lack of trying, but each new one I try is part of the machine. The field to choose from is so barren. The effects of what our government did is still cascading and hurting us.
Juju- knowing that Covid shots are still mandated to those in medical/nursing schools just confirms that they don’t want any health professionals that won’t follow orders.
I bet there's $$$ involved as well.
Juju, have you tried the IMA provider list? Independent Medical Alliance that Dr. Ryan, Dr. Marik, Dr. Kory, Dr. Varon, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and others are part of?
Yes! There were only two listed in my area. And in Chicago! One was truly a quack with severe red flags. Not the real deal. The other didn’t answer their phone or email. ? Ever. Of course that was two years ago. I should check again. At that time I’m sure certain medical providers were taking advantage of that system for advertising purposes. But hopefully more have been added since? Unfortunately the Chicagoland area is wholly captured by the big hospitals and universities. My retired doctor used to have a private practice where they practiced both allopathic and holistic medicine, and then the big dogs came in and they either sold to them or went out of business. I remember her sadness when she admitted the clinic was never the same. She caved. 🫤 So in our area the universities control EVERYTHING. They almost cost me my life too and disparaged my efforts to get a second opinion from the world’s experts in my condition at that time, located in Tampa. They were polar opposite in their diagnoses and approaches. The director of the endocrinology department actually sat in on one of my appointments while they tried to scare me away from using them, gossiping and using a false claim about tax fraud. (Looked into it and it wasn’t true of the doctors, completely misrepresented.) Tampa clinic saved my life. Chicago wouldn’t have.
And every specialist I went to for my condition on all sides of the city and burbs was operating according to the university/medical institution script. There is NO individual practice.
So finding a good doctor around me is like winning the lottery. I’m sure one is here somewhere, but it will have to be found by happenstance via word of mouth.
I’ll check IMA again tho. Thanks for the reminder.
Oh Juju, what a mess. I am thankful you made the trip to Tampa to be treated and that you stayed away from Shitcago standard of care BS. Check the list again, they add and delete. I found my doc there and I also use an out of pocket functional naturopath by me as well. Let me know if the list brings you a good doc in your area. Blessings to you always as you are very special indeed.
The problem seems to be a Catch-22: the "good old doctors," like Dr. Drass, QUIT rather than bend the knee, but the "good old doctors" who, other than bending the knee, COULD still be Drass-like have found themselves untrusted!
Well, if I may point out, if one's a priori paradigm is that "they" are doing everything they can to depopulate and exterminate 7.5 billion from the current world population of 8 billion... THEN everything makes total sense.
I agree. There are few who are not part of the system and just parrot what they are told to say and do what the hierarchy tells them.
Juju you should investigate homeopathic practitioners. I posted links for two organizations that have directories. Homeopathy has been around longer than allopathic medicine and is used in Europe and Asia very successfully. It has been marginalized in the US by the medical establishment.
I agree, Karmy. I learned a great deal about homeopathy taking two courses from Joyette Calabrese’s website.
I think we lost more medical professionals due to them dying or developing severe medical problems from the shots.
These days there's a long wait to see an actual doctor for anything. If you want to be seen in less than a few weeks, it's going to be a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner.
They didn’t all die. They were professionally “culled” by the authoritarian institutions that want to control what doctors can do.
Mr Drass, many people, including myself, would be overjoyed to have you, or Nurse Patti or Mr Clark as a medical practitioner. I’m very blessed at 60 to see the dr only once or twice a year, and I generally go to the “doc-in-the-box” near me since my regular physician retired. The things that I see and hear young PAs and NPs saying are a little frightening. I’m happy to have a conversation about treatments, but what if I’m too ill or infirm to advocate for myself? And why do I have to protect myself from the people who in theory should “do no harm”?
Happy to help from afar. Sometimes it’s just information ❤️Thank you for the compliment
Long, long ago in a land far away.......after the CDC had FINALLY decided that masks DID NOT WORK, we were told that we no longer needed to "mask"....FYI, mask should never be used as a verb! Anyway, I had a need to go to Urgent Care. When I walked in, everyone in the room was up against the walls, 10' (not inches) apart. One couple was there with their child, clutching him like that mother in the restaurant in the movie, The Birds, freaking out about the bird attacks, not wanting to hear any of the facts.
Nurse Ratchet, sitting at a table just inside the door told me I needed to "mask" and she handed me one. I responded by stating that the CDC is no longer requiring masks. She said, "Well, it's our "policy." I told her it was a pretty sad day when the CDC appears more cogent than, well, ANYONE!
When I walked out, all the soon-to-be patients were looking at me like I had just stripped naked and danced around the room. They're probably STILL "masking".... verb intended.
Reminds me of going to my husbands orthopedic surgeon for follow up visits after surgery a few months before. We went down mid March 2020, a two hour drive, it was the day they later shut down all the walk in restaurants in our town. We didn’t know what to expect at the orthopedic groups large offices, but everything was as it had been except less patients waiting for appointments. The PA that took vitals said that there were quite a few cancellations today. The doctor, when he came in, shook my husband’s hand as he always had. We kidded him about that and when we left, he winked and gave my husband an elbow bump. A month later when we came down on cold April day, there was a new greeting area between double entrance doors. My husband had to “swab test”, temp test, and sanitizer for his hands. I was told I had to wait in my car until he was finished. They would call me and I could pick him up. Told Husband he could drive himself down for any further visits. It was like aliens took over everything.
lol
Luv it!
I know there are a multitude of stories like this, but my granddaughter worked as a nurse in the local hospital. A man was brought in after getting killed in a motorcycle accident, and his cause of death was put down as Covid. So infuriating that institutions that are supposed to be looking after our health are more interested in the almighty dollar. So much fraud!
Agreed! Multiple stories like this. I too as a health professional stood up against the mask: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/in-2020-fauci-told-you-to-wear-masks
Covid was an eye opener and hopefully we learn and most people don’t fall for it again:
The hospital received more money with a primary dx of COVID. There was Medicare rules before Covid for picking a primary diagnosis such as present on admission. Treatment of dx. Clinical signs and symptoms. We called it the 3 legged stool but that was thrown out for whatever reason. I left healthcare before Covid actually had a ICD-10 code even. Money money money!
And thus could they "prove" that the pandemic was real... as real as the virus that killed him.
It's amazing to me to see people still wearing masks. They're alone outdoors or alone in their cars, it doesn't matter. They advertise their stupidity. These are the die-hards that cannot be reasoned with, who are still lining up for the next booster shot. There was a laugh line about stupidity being painful a few decades ago. Now we're seeing the reality where stupidity is life threatening to the stupid person and the ones they directly influence.
It remains for a psychological researcher to establish the connection between wanting to wear a face diaper and something related to childhood toilet training. I admit that when I wore them (both/either), I felt childish.
Good for you. I stated at the time that the Covid response exposed the whole medical industry that they are all just order takers and cowards. Your 1% figure might be high. There should have been a ton more doctors like you.
I am no physician, not an "expert" by any sense of the word, yet as soon as masks were introduced as an option, I questioned, "why?" It was because I simply viewed reality. As long as I have been alive, we were told about "catching" colds and flus, and no one really seriously thought of disrupting and stopping life because of it. It was an inevitability. Cold and flu season came around each year and you could roll the dice and either get sick or not get sick. Thoughts of mitigating it were of controlling symptoms, not indefinitely opting out of society.
If masks worked, would we not have implemented them each flu and cold season? Copy that if they were necessary?
Thank you for your years of good service.

Does that "greed" cover attacking other countries? You know, the ones selling oil for non-US dollars. Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, Iran, Russia.
I’m just curious… if you’re so anti-American, why do you waste your time reading this very pro-American post? Honest question.
He's just trolling...his day revolves around how many folks he can rile up. The "issue" is the excuse, never the reason...the reason is his need to feel superior and take pleasure in the angst he causes in others. I've found that it's best to just annotate "Troll" in the reply section and move on.

Why does Israel get a pass on the nuclear weapons issue?
An incredibly stupid question.
there are no "NUCLEAR WEAPONS'"
I'm listening Elaine!
You know how C0vid was faked and there never was a deadly virus, and how 9/11 was faked and no planes hit the Towers?
How unreasonable is this one: There are NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Never have been.
If you watch the old 4 or 5 film clips of supposed nuclear explosions from the '40s today, you can see how cheesy and fake they are. Now they look as cheesy as the fake Moon Landing!
And the photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki clearly show both were firebombed.
What if THERE ARE NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS?
if you remove Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the list of alleged nuclear explosions since both were firebombed, there has never been a nuclear bomb exploded. There has never been a nuclear bomb in any of the countless wars since the '40s.
But what about the nuclear bomb tests?
The only evidence of nuclear testing comes from the government telling us they were doing nuclear testing.
The same people who brought us 9/11 and the Great C0vid H0ax.
What if the greatest fear on Earth, a nuclear bomb, doesn't exist, and never did?
And it has always just been a huge mass fear-inducing psyop like 9/11 and C0vid???

Remember, it only took a handful of videos of Crisis.Actors crying "I saw the plane hit the building!" and a fake video of a plane hitting a building playing CONTINUALLY for 72hrs to convince billions of people that planes hit the Towers on 9/11.
What if there are NO nuclear weapons? And never were.
Israel has had them for many years.
Are you saying that in general or about Israel?
I'm not anti-American. You come up with lots of great stuff. Your first 5 amendments are brilliant (speech, arms, no goons in my home, goons can't search me for no reason, due process).
Smedley Butler had the solution long ago to these "foreign adventures". Another great American idea. But somewhere along the way (1913 hint hint) you stopped implementing great ideas.
It isn't just political and military. American's invented LFTR tech in the 1960's (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors). Now China is running with it. Technology too.
DMSO, ClO2, and lots more on the medical side.
Do you see the point here?
America has thrown off its private central banks in the past and I'm hoping for that again because that is the root of all evil in this world.
Good reply. Much more nuanced.
What country are you a citizen of?
I'm a survivor of "Soviet Canuckistan" and all their vile evil.
There are no citizens. You're not a citizen if the gov can take away your right to bodily autonomy over a disease with an IFR of 0.3%

Sounds anti semantic
Iraq and Venezuela have already been conquered and looted.
Both of them are forced to put their oil money into US banks, and the US decides how much they can use and how they can use it. And it has to be sold in dollars. The US has already confiscated $8 billion of Venezuela's oil, and only gave $300 million as earthquake relief. So very generous.
Libya, I'm not sure. I do know that it did have the highest standard of living of all African countries, but is now a terrorist-infested hellhole that people risk their lives to escape. Way to go, Obama!
Mrs. RW
Venezuela I can understand because of the voting machines and radical American Marxist connection operating from foreign soil, and Cuba too. But as part of the same disgusting template you speak of, I totally agree. And now there is the Iran Debacle, with all pretext having been grounded in lies very similar to the rest of the Forever War lies. And with Iran, and as in the heyday of the Covid Terrorism, where is all the indignation? And what ever happened to all the grand MAGA campaign promises?
And now we have a President saying he is going "to bomb the shit out of them" and stuff like that, and with nobody questioning all of this thuggery, and at whose behest, and based up what?
And the unbelievable propaganda statements coming out of the White House? And being every bit as off the wall as seen in the Dear Leader EU stuff?
But don't worry Mrs. RW. We have to preserve Democracy!
Venezuela was the major supplier of oil to Cuba. Trump attacked Venezuela, and then created a blockade to prevent oil from reaching Cuba.
Why???
Because Trump is committing the economic genocide of Cuba.
Donald Trump has bombed Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria (killing innocent women, children and civilians).
What do those countries all have in common?
They are remaining countries NOT on the Rottchild banking system.
You know who else is NOT on the Rottchild banking system?
Cuba.
Have you seen the videos of the Cuban people desperately begging the World for help? They have NO OIL.
No power, no hospitals, no gas, no food. Cubans are in horrible conditions and crisis and begging the World for help.
Why? Because Donald Trump ordered a blockade to prevent ships from getting oil to Cuba!
In March '26 Trump stated that Cuba is "going to fall pretty soon".
Yes because Trump is committing the economic genocide of Cuba.
Why????
WTF did Cubans do to deserve Trump KILLING Cuba???
And who benefits?
Rottchild.
The Cubans? Nothing. Like us, the Cubans have been victimized by their Marxist leaders' creation of a hell hole. And the USA is, and maybe still is, on a hell hole trajectory unless things don't dramatically reverse, at least by what I am seeing. And would you have lived in New York City for ten years on the Upper West Side as I did, you might have some different slants of view into Cuba of a solely political and ideological nature.
I would like to see a free and prosperous Cuba. I also would like to see a free and prosperous United States. And I am sure that Venezuelans would like to see a free Venezuela run in an orderly prosperous way. The real scandal is that what is being done around the world by the Trump administration is still being done to us in the United States, just by other means. Thus my questions is this, and from an administration so much on the right footing in its first two or three months, where are the MAGA campaign promises now? Why is everything once again so upside down? And in foreign policy, what is the difference between Biden and Trump?
I am certainly not going to run livid and rant against you when my complaints are the same as yours, but only maybe nuanced differently in the fewest of few cases.
Well, to you and Proberta, the one motivating paradigm that explains everything is the Depopulation Agenda. When one looks at any question about what is going on, I find that when the Depopulation paradigm is applied as the context then everything suddenly makes sense and there is no more contradiction or surprising development. The logic falls in place.
Funny how it doesn't matter who's in charge. The bombs keep falling and the debt keeps growing.
One of them will end up being "Emperor Honorius" and Trump may have just claimed that title.
Indeed. Clinton destroyed Yugoslavia, Bush destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama destroyed Libya and started on Syria, including sending in troops to occupy 30% of the country and steal their oil and wheat, Trump 1 didn't start any new wars and tried to get out of Syria, but wasn't allowed to, Biden did Ukraine and finished Syria, and now Trump 2 is destroying Iran and continuing Ukraine.
And in the meantime they all kept bombing the other countries on the list, including Lebanon, Somalia, and Sudan.
Mrs. RW
Mrs. RW... a VERY cogent observation. Michael Yon recently stated an axiom on an interview that really hit home. He said that if one is surprised by a development then either your information input was not good information OR the paradigm you are using to understand the world is incorrect. If your paradigm is accurate and you are using 24 carat information, then you will never be surprised by what happens.
So what happened between Trump 1 and Trump 2? Trump 2 is behaving like Trump 2 is captured. And I do seem to detect that "something" happened to him after Butler.
He definitely seems like a different person. I remember when he was adamantly against nuclear war. Obama was pushing a trillion dollar nuclear upgrade, and the media was going along with it.
During one of the 2016 debates, the media person asked him about the nuclear triad. Instead of talking about that, he talked about the horrors of nuclear war and the effects it had on the people subjected to it.
No other US president has ever talked like that, and he was roundly criticized for it. Hillary Clinton, of course, could rattle off the components of the nuclear triad like the crazed war monger she is. I was impressed with that Trump.
He said that his uncle, the nuclear scientist, impressed upon him the horrors of the bomb when he was an impressionable child, and it stuck with him.
But now they're talking about dropping nuclear weapons on Iran???
Trump??? Not the same guy at all.
And the market manipulation is new also. He was one of the few presidents who didn't profit from his first presidency. What happened?
It is concerning. We are goose-stepping to all out war, and Trump doesn't seem to be opposed to it.
Mrs. RW
To fairly spread blame, Obama massively increased troops in Afghanistan so he and Bush are jointly responsible for that fiasco and littany of war crimes
But Trump 1 negotiated an end to that war, and withdrew half of US troops.
The rest were supposed to be withdrawn by May, 2021. But Biden stole the election and reneged on the deal, leading to the resumption of the Taliban attack and the chaotic retreat of August, 2021.
Mrs. RW
This doesn't sound like you, Mrs. RW! Has someone else been able to access your computer and write his/her thoughts and sign your name?
I think it sounds like me. I am consistently against murder and theft.
Mrs. RW
You are joking ... aren't you?
LOL... Right?!
Iraq needs to be turned into sand!
Pretty sure it is already sand. I’m as pro American as a person can get but I am only for our troops defending us not large corporations in their quest to take over the world via the CIA.
Ya beat me to it LOL.
Iraq? Wait didn't you win that one decades ago? Are we off Iran now and back to Iraq? Does Libya get another round?
Amen to that!
You're 20 years late. We're attacking different countries now.
If that makes any difference to you, that is.
Mrs. RW
And we need to get Saddam!
They must be terrorists. Lol
I think it does
Troll
I thought I blocked you permanently. Maybe I didn't. Will do so again now.
Be wary Christians going to war for greed against Iran. The draft is coming........
"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
Eustace Mullins
The Curse of Canaan
Masonic Grand Master Albert Pike explained it all in 1871 as he laid out the plans for the World Wars:
"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism.
"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused...between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other.
"...Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view." - Albert Pike's letter to Giuseppe Mazzini August 15, 1871
Scottish Rite Freemason Foster Bailey states that Masonry "is the descendant of, or is founded upon, a divinely imparted religion..." This religion he explains "...was the first United World Religion. Then came the era of separation of many religions and sectarianism. Today we are working again towards a World Universal Religion." ("The Spirit of Masonry", p.31)
Nazi Reichsmarschall Herman Goering explained war resistors:
“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the Leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.” - Hermann Goering from the Nuremberg Trials 1946
And Muammar Gaddafi said:
“I think Americans are good. But America will be taken over and destroyed from inside by the Zionist Lobby. The Americans do not see this. They are getting decadent. Zionists will use this to destroy them.” - Muammar Gaddafi, Pittsburgh Press (8/3/1986) "Gaddafi, The Man The World Loves To Hate" by Marie Colvin (UPI)
America is under Zionist regime. Everyone knows this except Americans.
The learned, prescient Proberta, dialed-in as per the other 364 days.
Gaddafi was a rare and intelligent observer of history. It's a shame there are not more like him. You know, I recall Prince, of all people, making comments that were also very astute.
Excellent quotes by Gadaffi.
Wont find that in your Trotskyite text books.
Ty.
"Wont find that in your Trotskyite text books"
Or on the Zionist Trump media!

Are you saying the world would be better without Christianity?
PSA: ALMIGHTY GOD REIGNS.
No you are not making that CDC t-shirt mask tutorial up. I remember seeing it. Confused. Then there was the hilarious memes that came from one small (ahem) Chinese woman who made one out of one of her bra cups. Who knew I had double protection right there every day! Then the hilarious sister-in-arms who tried it and posted a picture of what happens when women “gifted” like us actually tries it. It covered her whole head! 😜🤣🤣
I remember entering the Kroger store here without a mask, and was tracked down and asked to leave. I pulled out a bandana and asked the clerk to tie it in the back for me. She did, and that satisfied them, and I was able to breathe. Such nonsense we put up with.
I only wore a mask when I didn’t have the energy to deal with the idiots or my husband was not with me. If my husband was with me and I didn’t wear a mask I was fine. If he wasn’t with me anyone and everyone thought they could tell me what to do. 🤬 one time I had a huge man come up to me not wearing a mask and at the time I was not wearing a mask and he told me how impressed he was with me not wearing a mask. Said we have to stick together. I agreed and we walked away encouraging each other to stand up. Courage is contagious 💪🏽 he was huge and I am sure NO one approached him to chastise him. Crazy times
I wore one when my son was with me because it caused him so much anxiety if I didn't. But I also wore it under my nose, which caused looks. And anxiety in my son. I hated it all; so performative.
My daughter-in-law made her babies wear them in public. I was adamantly against that. She was trying to be good; she's changed a lot since then.
Ugh! It was a difficult time. My mom knew they were stupid but didn’t want the argument and she was in her 70’s. She said just go along to get a long Patti 😆 she knew I was never that kid. Definitely not that adult . I want things to make sense and the why 😂
The City of Madison, Wisconsin ran a public service announcement to advise people to STOP approaching Black people to ask them to move their masks over their noses because that was their culture.
Incidentally, horse shite is the City of Madison, Wisconsin's culture...
🤦🏻♀️
My daughter showed up for Thanksgiving dinner with a mask on her 6 yr old daughter and herself!
Ugh :(
Thought about it, back before suspecting we were being flim-flammed. Looked up size of virus (less than 100 nm) and realized cloth masks were 10s of microns, if not 100s, in pore size. That was the beginning of realizing we were being duped.
Please, who was that genius who first said, contemporaneously with the masking advice, that he put up a chain link fence around his yard to keep the mosquitos out?
Yeah I definitely feel that being a petite woman had disadvantages in that regard :/ I still had to shop for groceries and wasn't going to get thrown out of the store. I hate getting my food online and didn't feel like I should be obligated to do so either. The whole thing was just such a train wreck >:(
Totally! My husband is not one to poke the bear but I sure in the hell am but sometimes didn’t have the energy to fight. Only was approached at a shoe store and was asked to leave. I will never return to that store. They were polite but they were also wrong. I should go back and ask them today how they feel about it but given the flag they post I’m sure I know
I did the same, RL, when shopping for necessities, but I punched holes in my mask with a paper punch, and wrote things on it like “JESUS is our only Hope!”
Courage IS contagious. An important reminder. The young man who saved the boy in Jeff’s reporting shows how important it is to recognize that fact, to remind us. My husband was tossed out of his gym for not masking while working out. They did not care that he could not breathe while masked.
It's interesting that so many people who couldn't breathe with masks were treated like this when Jeff's citation from the CDC literally says that they should not be used by people who are having difficulty breathing!!!
Love that Patti!
I complied. I wasn’t properly informed (just coming off a life saving surgery and some family tragedy, I had been disconnected from society for a long time). I was a rules follower and those were “rules”. I’m a good little student doing as I’m told. 🙄🤦🏼♀️ I hadn’t yet been given all the info that would wake me up. But boy, today? Not the same person. I imagine I have the courage to laugh in someone’s face if they require me to mask up. Back then it was more about “well if it makes you feel more comfortable, fine, I’m only here 10-15 mins …” and I’d use one. Feewings ruled the day.
The confusing part early on was being required to wear a mask to get service from ERs and urgent care centers, or my own doctor’s office. No mask? No dice. No service. No care. No compassion. Thrown out in the street. I found that shocking. (Unless they gave everyone proper N-95s, but they had masks that were made in China out of tissue paper)
So true. That summer of 2020 I came down with Shingles, and made an appointment at the local clinic. I was told I had to wear a mask to come in and to see the doctor. I was prepared. I had one of those thin ski mask type head coverings which allowed me to breathe and see. And being the curmudgeon I am, I stuck a Trump sticker to the back of it. They allowed it, and actually liked it. One never knows.
Like Masking!! The irony never stops! Like OSHA requires workers with a 6'lanyard tie off on a 3 foot platform, Or 3 points of contact on a ladder! To change a light bulb then takes minimum of 2 people, 2 ladders. or driving a truck with a bright safety vest on that reflects off the windshield so it impairs your vision. Policy requiring helicopter pilots and medical attendants to wear a 2.5lb crash helmet when about 90 percent of crashes are vertical impact, so you hit the ground at 10G's see what that does to your spine!! Should be optional, and the irony is the patient pays $50K and up for the ride and only gets a sheet!!!:):) So easy to find comedy and stupidity in so much.
Rules written by people who have never actually done anything.
I initially thought it was a case of "can't hurt, might help" and like you, figured 15-20 minutes was no big deal, because you do see medical professionals wearing them. I also thought it would be a thing for maybe a couple of weeks--not MONTHS to YEARS!!! >:( And once I dug into it and read about how masking works and all of the details, plus had some very scary experiences with shortness of breath and (one time at my nurse practitioner's for an appointment) high blood pressure (which I *never* have issues with!!), like you, in addition to my son's issues, I became very anti-mask and refused to wear them as much as possible (had to make an exception to be able to be with my mom while she was in the cancer unit at the hospital at the end of her life :( ).
I saw everyone wearing masks touching their noses and mouths through them all the time as well as seeing those with them down below their noses. That's when I figured out this was all a farce.
And sneezing and coughing with them on, kids in schools dropping them and having to put them back on, it was all so stupid!
Juju, you've identified something in your "Feewings ruled the day."
We have been treated in the past decade or so to what life is like under a "rule of feelings" rather than of law. Feelings, almost by definition, don't have to make sense! And no two people can have the same exact feeling, again almost by definition, about any thing! It's a program for destroying any sense of commonality.
I know a man who carried a Lone Ranger style eye mask with him. Whenever store personnel told him he had to wear a mask, he whipped out that mask and put it on, then strolled away leaving them staring after him, dumbfounded.
LOL too funny!!
I LOVE that! Brilliant.
I didn't comply, and when told to put on a mask I simply replied I'd seen several employees who'd pulled their masks down under their noses, then said.... words I won't write here... and I was left along to get on with my shopping....
I always pulled mine below my nose.
I bet you got stink-eye like I did 😂😂😂😂
Nah everyone else was doing it. I did it out of protest. My fellow New Mexicans did it out of ignorance. It is NM after all.
I ordered one of those clear plastic face shields on amazon to wear at the grocery store because they wouldn't let you in without a "face covering." So ridiculous. At least I could breathe!
I ordered a metal mesh mask with rhinestones. It was like a nano chain link fence & I could breathe. I can’t tell you how many compliments I got!!!
Was forced to wear one in the Dr office I worked in. My coworker made us some lovely ones out of nearly sheer colorful cotton fabric….lol…looked like a mask 😏
After walking through a BevMo for 20 minutes without one and no one saying anything, I was refused check out service by the manager who said they would not do business with anyone without a mask.
I haven't been into a BevMo since.
Like … your money is infected? That’s it! That’s the origin and spread of Covid! You can walk around the entire store and touch everything, but they won’t take your money 🤣
I seem to remember some stores wouldn’t take cash because they were afraid of the paper money being infected.
A father shopping with his wife and 2 children told me I deserved to die in a grocery store in northern California. I was just going back to get a box of butter and that dad thought it was a good idea to wish death on me in front of his kids. Insanity.
Same thing happened to me at a Dig Five sporting goods store. Turned back at door. Didn’t return for 4 years.
My husband is scared for life from a bad experience at sprouts. It was that in between time, optional to wear a mask. Some guy from across the store stated yelling and pointing at my husband. “He's not wearing a mask” the manager had to step in, the same store later became militarized with enforcement. So stupid. What about the neighbors still wearing one in Arizona heat to walk their dog or in their car alone? I think God is going to forgive my hatred for these people. Hope so.
🤣🤔😡 Follow the arrows like you're at a fair going for a ride and stay 6' apart NOT LIKE at the fair!!
I made one out of gauze material. My son asked my daughter to make him one out of mesh. We wore them.
Nonsense indeed!
Kroger, like Fred Meyer? They never bothered me for a mask.
It was a very small Kroger store, and they closed it in 2022. It's now a Dollar General. At the time, they began enforcing the crazy guidelines including only allowing about a dozen people inside at one time. There was a line outside waiting to go in.
I loved one of the early comments I heard on a podcast about masks, and recognizing the size of the virus and porosity of all masks - that expecting a mask to stop the virus was like thinking a chain link fence could keep out mosquitos
I miss the masks as it covered up all the leftist branch covidians faces. 😉 There's still hope as I'm in a blue/leftist area and the masks are coming back. I know I am being sarcastic but it's that or actually taking these people at face value. 😉😄
It was what woke me up and sent me down a long rabbit hole that actually led to …. Here! 🤣 If not for the comedically insane mask instructions I may not have noticed odd contradictions, studies that were banned, reports by sane doctors who flew to Substack to be heard. I followed one here, and lo and behold found Jeff. ❤️❤️ I’m a recovering knobheads anonymous. We meet on Thursdays.
I had my mask with me throughout the pandemic. I tied it to my purse strap where I could point to it when asked about it. It worked for me
If I took a surgical mask and poked slits in the folds it would help quite a bit.
I wasn't trying to be passive aggressive, I just wanted to be able to breathe less stale air.
🤣🤣
SAME! 😁
I’m in a blue state and yes they are still on. Masks wearing is not as heavy but still happening
I’m in NY -upstate not insane NYC-people wearing at work, driving alone, walking…outside….alone.. 🤯
I’m in central Washington and we are not that blue but clearly enough walking idiots.
Hi, Patti! We live on the crazy side of the Cascades. Whenever we hit I-90 to visit family in Eastern WA, once we get over Snoqualmie Pass, we feel as though a huge, oppressive weight has been lifted off our shoulders and we can breathe freely again. It is jarring (to us) to see people still wearing masks in their cars, or by themselves outside.
I researched how much atmosphere is around us (to figure out how diluted virus particles are in relation to the air around us) and found out the Earth has 5.5 QUADRILLION TONS of atmosphere surrounding us. Have you ever heard anyone refer to something as "parts per quadrillion"? Talk about statistically irrelevant!
Anyway, it is nice to know there is another person in this crazy state who saw through the madness in real time!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Ha! Drive more east to Idaho and it feels AMAZING ❤️ seriously. Thanks for saying Hi! I like knowing I have friends close and the more the merrier
It’s a daily struggle to not scream at them 🤯🤦🏼♀️
😂 yes! Hold back
Its like walking through the woods with a floating life jacket on.
It has been a little while since I saw someone wearing a mask. I just assume they are sick or old or both. I don't have time to care about their lack of intelligence or their mental illness if it is not sickness or oldness.
update: I just got back from town with some supplies for dinner. The first person I saw while driving into town was a 60–70 year old lady, walking on the side of the road, with a backpack, in a construction zone, with a mask on. bright sunny day very little wind no one around and still masked. Just Incredible!
I would bet big money that she has a septum ring under the mask.
Dinner: Cooking up some green curry chicken for the family tonight.
Yeah…they’ve never completely left my stupid purple…bluish area. Idiots 🙄
There were so many Suzy Seamstresses making custom face diapers that cloth had to be rationed, along with dirty undershirts. I heard things got so bad the Clintons donated some more used underwear.
If it was Bill’s briefs prior to his South Beach diet adoption, the Clintons probably saved hundreds with that donation.
I remember the old days when Rush made much of a large Clinton tax return claim for charity donation of used clothing. He said they could make parachutes out of Bill’s silken drawers.
Burlington was selling matching masks with outfits
Pastor stayed 10'+ away from everyone even triple masked and changed masks not for the fact that they were wet as bacteria full but depending on the company he was keeping. I think his wife might have been allowed closer. Before 2020 they joked about him being a "germaphobe". Can you really be a Christian and a "phobe"?
That’s a funny visual 😂
The meme was even funnier. Wish I could post it here. On one side was a AAA cup size neatly over the mouth. On the other side was the DD cup size fitting over the mouth AND the top of the head. 😜🤣
I don't understand how ANYONE can stand to wear an N95 mask. My mom's senior citizen residence made me put one on when visiting her a few years ago, and I could barely breathe.
I wouldn't be surprised if people passed out from too much carbon dioxide building up in those things, and then died from lack of oxygen.
The "make your own face mask" instructions, the dancing nurse videos, the stupid arrows on the grocery store floor...all of this would be laughable now IF so many people hadn't died and if those poor people dying in hospitals and nursing homes hadn't had to die alone without a family member because "rules." And of course, the relentless mockery and pressure on those of us who never bowed to their precious vax. I will NEVER forget the sheer cruelty, greed and power play that our own government and medical "professionals" foisted on us. Dark days in history indeed.
In 2020 Americans divided into two groups: Compliant and Skeptical. These groups have grown more divided as the Compliant became Brainwashed and the Skeptical became Anti Institutional (Awake). We live in two Worlds but often times, under one Roof.
So true!! I see the divisions in this country today as PERMANENT. Sadly, I don't ever see us uniting again.
Those people who continue to get their "information" from the TV every day will never see the light.
And keep voting DSA:):)
The only good news is that demographic is now under replacement level. 25 years from now woksters will be the extinct dinosaurs of a bygone era. Just make sure we inoculate our kids against that derangement syndrome and have at least 5 of your own kids who each have 5 of their own!
Yes, Barbara! Those in my mother’s circle (70+), were and still continue to be the worst as far as their fear level and belief in the lies they were told by the legacy media, and are still being told. In part, I think it’s because they primarily watch TV news. Unfortunately, my mother lost friends during that time because she wouldn’t get the shot.
I totaly agree with you.
It was rough!! The medical hostages! Ugh breaks my heart. I remember my brother calling me panicking he had Covid (he has an autoimmune dx also) I was shocked at his panicking. We FaceTimed. He had bought a pulse oximetry device like I had told him. His oxygen was on the lower side but everything else was fine. I told him if he goes to the hospital I can’t help him. I can’t get to him. He called frontline doctors. Got IVM. Did my ‘nursing orders’ and was fine. October to November 2021 I did so many home nursing visits I even printed out nursing orders to follow. Only one person had to send to the hospital and he survived. Ugh rough days/ nights. Nights were the worst. People would get in their heads with fear. 💔
I too got IVM from a Frontline MD. That was either late 2020 or early 2021. Never took the shot.
I felt badly for so many that didn’t know how to navigate the resources. I was constantly sharing and repeating to get people information. I knew I had more resources than the average coming from healthcare. I kept my own husband home on oxygen. IV therapy. Meds around the clock with Covid. He should have been in the hospital but we pushed through it was a rough few weeks.
Patti, God protected you and your husband.
I took the veterinary version for pennies as a precaution and did just fine.
My husband and I got covid early in the winter of 2021 and I immediately contacted America's Frontline Doctors. They connected us with a doctor who provided me with hydroxychloroquine and my husband with ivermectin. It was rough, but we got through it just fine. We remain eternally grateful to the doctors of that fine organization and make substantial contributions to them every year.
I went to the local independent clinic and asked for a script for ivermectin. He said he would write one but knew the local pharmacy wouldn’t fill it so he wrote me a script for hydroxychloroquine instead. After the covid mess was over he eventually closed his clinic. Too bad. He was one of the good guys.
Plexiglass shield between you and the checker at the grocery stores. So stupid!!!
The plexiglass at my credit union has only been down for a couple of months.
The only reason I like it is I can’t smell bad breath should someone have it. 🤣
Those shields were still up at my local bank until last year.
I am so thankful for the other participants in that text thread who objected to the writer's obvious ploy to dodge FOIA. Oh wait...
Amen. But we are called to forgive them.
We cannot believe the media or the health care system about the number of deaths. They lied about everything else.
So many schools made the kids mask all day ... that was especially cruel.
How about all the signs in front of hospitals saying “heroes work here!” . I know hind sight is 20/20, but honestly, we lived through the stupidest time period in history. Glad I never took the jab. And, now my eyes are wide open to all the deception.
Ryder Williams is damn sure a hero. He's paid (a little) to be one every day. As he said, it's his job.
Something tells me he is good kid, one of a huge number in the US. I also suspect he has parents who raised him to meet the challenges of his job and his life. Great Americans, in other words.
The kind of Americans that piss off a lot of democrats, socialists, and cry-bullys. Go Ryder!
💯 it’s a great reminder there are so many good American kids out there. I for one super proud of the kid. So glad he’s a strong swimmer. I’m sure his mom’s heart aches watching that video ugh. I had a great youth employees for 3 years. His parents told him ‘if you see a need, fill the need’ I loved that I use it often with employees.
Kind of reminds me of our President, diving into dangerous deep churning waves to save us.
And die in a senseless war. Great recruitment poster for heroes to die for greed. Life guards save people all the time.
Troll
Guess JT bought the psyop.
All is forgiven
My son saved a kid, about 11 years old at the time, and his father, who went out to save the kid and got into trouble himself. My son was paddleboarding and retrieved both of them pretty much at the same time. The crazy thing is that the 2 were actually our new neighbors who had just moved in directly across the street from us. They always reminded me of how grateful they were to my son. Made this dad feel good.
Praise God!
Once walked maskless into a grocery store, there was an armed guard 'mask police'. With my best Jack Nicholson blank face I muttered "PTSD", received a shocked look, and was allowed to pass. Hope no one died as a result.
I remember walking into my grocery store with no mask on like a full on rebel. Lotta elderly here and they gave wide berth for the most part with several Karen gasps, but there was ONE other dude in there that was maskless and I looked at him, he at me from across the way and we nodded to each other and kept on shopping. And then there were the ones I'd shake my head at where they were masked, gloved, and practically hazmat suited up, and they'd come right up to me, maskless, and ask me to help them with something seemingly unbothered to which I assumed was just because they felt safe behind all their safety measures. Good times, good times lol
My wife and I literally had someone running away from us at the grocery store once. So sad someone could be that scared of other humans.
I heard a woman tell her husband she would not walk down the grocery store isle I was in because I wasn't wearing a mask.
I still see masks
LOL... wish I had thought of that.
"The dumbest idea in American history came from the CDC."
I dunno. I think CDC had the dumbest TWO lines: that one, plus the "you're not a horse. stop it y'all!" That's definitely in the top 5.
And they wonder why nobody trusts them anymore. Some of the shit you believe while in the cult- or psyop-induced haze are sooo obviously bullcrap years later.
I believe it was the FDA, not the CDC, who had the "you're not a horse .." line.
My dad had an expression he would use, “mox nix”. I just looked it up to see it derives from German phrase that sounds the same, and both mean “It doesn’t matter.” FDA,CDC, both were equally complicit in attempting to fool the public, in my humble opinion.
Macht nichts, in Deutch :)
“while in the cult- or psyop-induced haze” That’s a great way to refer to it. So many people are still in that haze today
Right! No trust and no love lost. 😡
The lifeguard honored was for the Gen Z crowd disillusioned by the Genocide and Charlie Kirk death.
Video manufactured by the Trotskyites having lost the Kirk psyop.
The Conspiracy Community has a good rule regarding staged shootings that is you have to wait about 5 days after the event for the videographers to go thru frame by frame and expose the staging and the screwups. But by then the masses have moved onto the next attention-grabbing headlines and they don't follow up on the shootings.
-Charlie's was easy right away because of the blood. The blood in the squib should have been bright red, not burgundy, ask any nurse. And we're being told he was shot from the front but we're being shown an EXIT WOUND! (Same thing with the 'exploding mic theory, its still an EXIT wound!)
-And WHAT? No crime scene? Where were the forensic investigators, the bullet trajectory lazers? They had that set broken down and GONE within hours and the whole place CONCRETED OVER the next day!!!
-And what about all those people with their cell phones filming it, where are all those videos??? hmmm...
Wrong color blood, EXIT wound, no forensic investigation, and no crowd videos and they concreted the whole site over the next day?!??
AND THEN... there's the holovid:

Ah yes, the whole world is a stage.
And of course, that video was allowed to go viral...
Haha. That video was deleted from YouTube!
“Impending Doom” was (is) my favorite line.
the dancing tik tok nurses and docs really cheered me up while I watched my mother die from her Fauci shot
I am sorry about your mother. My completely vaccinated father died of a “breakthrough” infection in the fall of 2021. The hospital told me it was extremely rare. No one believed that he was vaccinated because they were sold on the 100% effective propaganda.
Right?! Or my sister's father in law whom they killed with their in-hospital mis-treatment of covid and wouldn't let family or priest in with him while he died? Glad they were yucking it up and having a fun dance party.
This makes me so angry. I am not over it. I want accountability! CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
RIP my beloved sister 8/11/23. Turbo cancer.
I'm so sorry for your loss as well. 💔 I often wonder what things would have been like had we don't nothing at all to "manage" covid. I truly believe we would have been MUCH better off!
I still miss my brother-in-law, who died from Turbo cancer. He took every covid shot.
Right??? It was absolutely egregious, the horror that they put so many people through!! >:(
They should have done their dances to this song:

I am still so unbelievably *ticked off* about the mask BS, my son had to do Zoom school for a semester until I could take him out of school to homeschool him because the stupid (supposedly red state Republican) governor and even more stupid and evil "health" department head mandated masks for kids at school. And my poor kid was pulling it off all the time because he said he couldn't breathe with it on. His worthless doctor refused to write an exemption, saying that it wasn't "bad enough" to merit one (which is funny that he was even able to tell that because he never bothered to examine my son nor even TALK to him about it!) and my son was apparently just supposed to suffer "for the good of the community." Such absolute BS!!! >:( All while many people who were mandating these or encouraging the mandates KNEW full well that they didn't do a thing to help mitigate the spread of disease or reduce risk. >:(
Agree! We pulled all of our grandkids out to homeschool because of this mask bullsh*t. Blue state- 2 years!!!! Those things were filthy rags and I would pick up a grandson outside ( across the parking lot) and yell to who ever could hear. Take that filthy useless mask off as soon as I got my grandson.
see my comment on this thread
I hate 2020 with a passion...and the intro story on today's newsletter triggered this deep hatred I have towards it. The stupid fake science, the sheep just following along, the fear mongering, the finger pointing against those who were against the manufactured science, the possibility of losing your job while being the sole breadwinner, injections, id cards, everything....it was garbage year and the few years after. It gave me anxiety and mental issues that I am still trying to get rid of. I hate all of it and those who pushed the lie.
Same here! As soon as I read about those times, I'm immediately transported back with a visceral, burning anger and frustration. I'm glad more and more of it is coming into the light of truth though!
Same!!!! >:(
You’re surrounded by a plethora of brothers in arms. We are ALL just as angry as you, and we immediately have those same visceral memories triggered as if they were just yesterday, and relive all the emotion. They figured out how to create mass formation PTSD! We are all experiencing it.
Amen
I went into 2020 with a feeling of dread, feeling the intense hatred the leftist had for President Trump. I knew they were going to pull out something low down, evil and dirty. And that was how I saw Covid immediately.
Good morning all! Have a blessed day!
💃❤️
Haha Juju. It’s so funny I was looking at my phone and C&C just popped up. Someone said it the other day, it’s like a goal to be first.
Morning Karmy.
Happy soon-to-be stormy Thursday! ⛈️
If you’ve never been swimming in the Pacific, it’s hard to fathom the forces at play when the water is like this. The undertow is extreme - this young lifeguard needed help from teammates because he knew he couldn’t get the ten year old all the way in by himself because of the undertow in knee-deep water. Unbelievable rescue. Really unbelievable bravery.
https://youtube.com/shorts/Wj8v_TB9O0Y?is=UTKcTDqYFS6YhzVY
Oh, my gosh. That child should not have been out in that water. Scary.
Mrs. RW
Wow! Thanks for sharing that video. So glad others pitched in to help.
Unreal the tumultuous strength of that water! One’s mind would think knee deep was safe, it is not!
There are days I am more than the usual thankful, for your posts, Jeff. During these evil and perilous times (all subjective to where one lives), to read your share about feeding the cat made me laugh out loud all by myself. On another note, I am eager to open your posts again that start out "Today's TERRIFIC roundup includes...". Thank you for all you do for your readers. Occasionally I do pray that you never really have to follow through with betting Michelle's Tahoe and losing the bet. 😅. May God continue to protect you and bless you!!!
Ditto. Ditto. Ditto. I wish I had the power to pin your comment to the top! Thanks for articulating what’s in all our hearts.
The cat food had me laughing too. I think we underfeed ours because I’m a Scrooge given we have two cats and two dogs and spend almost as much on their food as our own! And so I hate any waste, and when I feed more of the canned foods there is always some left on the bowls.
My one kitty likes to fake starve every time someone enters the kitchen hoping they will think she wasn’t just fed 30 minutes earlier. Stinker.
Lol!! Animals .... what would we do withour them ... maybe have more cash but we would lack their complete adoration of us (dogs) snd their utter disdain of us (cats). 😅 Thanks for appreciating my comment!!! Yours gave me equal laughter!!!
Every time I see a Tahoe now, I think of Michelle and of Jeff's betting threats lol :D
I thought for sure Jeff traded in Michelle’s Tahoe yesterday for a nondescript white van that was featured in one of the articles 🤣
Shameful confession: I made masks for my hubs and myself out of old t shirts, following a guide very similar to the one in the post. But we only wore them in places that had strict enforcement and where we could not avoid going, promise. Later on I discovered the ones on Etsy that looked "real" from a distance but were really porous up close, and we used those when necessary. I got braver as the sham went on, but in the early days there was so much uncertainty, and we succumbed (briefly) to the fear.
No need to be ashamed. The propaganda and pressure were relentless, and you didn't hurt anyone. Being an ornery troubleshooter and often accused of being a disruptor, I saw the stupid immediately, but I went along with it when in public to avoid confrontations. Then there were those on the other extreme, harassing people who wore masks. This led to some cancer patients undergoing chemo and wearing a mask when in public to be harassed. My attitude is if it makes one feel more secure, wear one and both sides should leave others alone.
I avoided wearing them as much as possible. I got berated in stores, and got bolder over time. I eventually got masks from FakeMaskUSA. I've kept one just in case, but I will be less "compliant" if this ever happens again.
🤣🤣🤣 so I went searching to see what that was. I couldn’t find it but I found others. One site sells Surgical Blue Incognito Face Mask USA, and the description killed me 🤣:
“Guess what? Cloth masks don’t do anything. Neither does this masterpiece. But at least you can breathe now.
The biggest of the big fakes has arrived, our Incognito Surgical Blue covering. For those of you looking to spice things up with a splash of heavenly blue, we’ve got the perfect solution for you.”
“Great for ultra Karen environments such as airplanes, banks, PTA meetings, etc.”
Hahahahaha “Neither does this masterpiece.” I’m coughing from laughing. Lololol
Coughing?! Unmasked?! You're not afraid we'll turn you in? lololol ~ Best part of the blue nothings was the unadvertised pulmonary microplastics thrown in for every user *for free!*
I got bolder and bolder too. My favorite was once I walked into Walmart and the greeter said "Do you have a mask, ma'am?" and I replied "Yes. Yes I do" and kept on walking.
I’ve kept two fake masks because I now know how foolish the majority of the public would act. I don’t trust the government or the state not to try this again.
I made masks also. No way I was going to contribute to ocean pollution by wearing disposable masks.
Also, I cut slits in it so that I could breathe better. And, like you, I only wore it when I was in places with terrorized employees who were convinced that they would die if someone came in without a mask. They were forced to be there, so no way I was going to argue with their brainwashing.
Mrs. RW
lol, my yearly gross income sits at full time federal minimum wage. ~$14K.
the Infernal Revenue Suckers expect 25% off of the top of that, and I am no longer eligible for the EIC as I do not have an eligible aged child to qualify me anymore.
the migrants can suck it. they get more money from the government for NOT working than I earn as a wage slave.
