No they are not just fringe wackos you can ignore. They are doctors and hospital Administrators at the cCleveland Clinic denying a kidney transplant because someone doesn’t have the vaccine. They are this NYC family court judge denying a father the right to see his three year old daughter because he doesn’t have the vaccine. “On Sept. 2, the mother’s lawyer raised concerns about the father’s vaccination status during a conference, prompting Judge Cooper to suspend the dad’s visitation until he received the jab. The jurist argued that inoculation has become a prerequisite “to participate meaningfully in everyday society” and pointed to sweeping vaccine mandates for public school teachers, police officers and health care workers.“ https://nypost.com/2021/10/14/nyc-judge-suspends-dads-visits-with-kid-over-vaccination-status/amp/

These are the dastardly enablers I called out in Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling). People have started tweeting my post at colluders, so I encourage anyone who wishes to start doing that every time they encounter a contemptible collaborator.

On the fence on the sending your article (excellent BTW). Sounds good in principle and may sway some fence sitters but any attention, even bad attention, is a win for them. (think children/spouses of abusers)

Ignoring, blocking and treating them as if they didn't exist may be a more effective, and lasting, response. That also includes their hanger-on's, people need to be held accountable for their role in maintaining these individuals popularity.

Which is why they push "cancel culture."

I counter that we don't announce we're cancelling, just let them realize they're talking to an empty room. Shallow people don't like being alone with themselves.

On further reflection, tweeting posts like these at colluders/Covidians feels more akin to throwing a pie (or shoe ;-) in their face or shouting, “Let’s go, Brandon” à la David at Goliath than it does engaging with/giving them attention. It’s the little boy stating the obvious about the Emperor with a chance that some of those standing around gawking will suddenly see the truth when stated plainly.

Holly, thank you for your thoughtful and thought-provoking response. I see what you mean about attention. That said, these people already get a massive amount of fawning attention, so it amuses me to think of this piece being wielded as a weapon against those who consider themselves on “the right side of history.”

I do agree with the ignoring/blocking/blanking tactic when it comes to trolls (ahem, Ken). Covidians, too, for the most part—although I admit I was delighted when I saw someone tweet Letter to a Covidian (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-covidian-a-time-travel) at a guy parroting the VAERS dropbox propaganda with a note saying, “Seems like this article was written for you.” If it pricks up the ears of someone who’s on the fringes, it might outweigh the costs of giving them a smidgeon of attention.

UK fully vaxxed 30 and older more likely to be infected...

For the second week in a row, the UK Heakth Security Agency COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report (week 41) show a higher rate of infection in the fully vaxxed age 30 and older.

Week 41...

Fully vaxxed: 823.9

Unvaxxed: 709.8

Week 40...

Fully vaxxed : 763.6

Unvaxxed: 738.4

(Infection rate per 100,000.)

For week 41...

76.2% UK C19 deaths within 28 days of a +PCR (weeks 37-40) were fully vaxxed.

19.9% UK C19 deaths within 28 days of +PCR (weeks 37-40) were unvaxxed.

1623 more deaths in the fully vaxxed age 60 and older than in the unvaxxed age 60 and older.

What's most interesting to me is that the US has not posted ANY data on vaxxed vs. unvaxxed infection/death stats since the original, twisted "pandemic of the unvaxxed" narrative several months ago. You know they have the stats, why not report them? Obviously, there's only one reason: it doesn't look good for the vax. I wonder how long before the leadership of the NWO tells UK to stop posting their reports.

Justin Hart/Rational Ground posted this about a week ago. It doesn't give cases by vaxx status, but it shows the vaxx status on a population level doesn't seem to make a difference.

https://covidreason.substack.com/p/no-rhyme-or-reason

I've lost what little faith I had in the CDC. If they have the data, they're hiding it. If they don't, they're incompetent. IMO, it's a toss up.

I don't think there's anyway to hide the vaxx failure in the UK. What is happening there will happen here. I've tried to warn vaxxed people in my circle. It seems to bounce off of them. Unfortunately, people will be hurt and some will die because the media and "public health" maintain the lie.

Expand full comment

I feel the same. I've tried to talk to people who are vaxxed, but they don't want to hear it. They can't wait to get a booster shot! Maybe it is too hard/painful to hear that you did something you felt was so righteous and find out you were fleeced. Too much cognitive dissonance.

Expand full comment

I'm vaxxed. I want to hear it. Won't be boosting. Wouldn't have vaxxed if I'd known then what I know now. I'm not angry about it, though. I always knew the sources I relied on were dubious and fraught with secret agendas. Like Charlie Brown, I hoped that Lucy wouldn't pull the football away just this one time.

Aaaaargh!

A few small things I have noticed: For Florida they always report the number of people infected and downplay the declining death rate and the fact that they have an older population than most states. In my own state when the numbers are looking to good they jigger the reporting from daily, to weekly to "recent" counts of infection. We are a young populated state so death rate from Covid have been pretty low. We get lots of patients from nearby states and we count every test taken as a case. A person tested several times (it happens) will have each of those tests counted in the numbers as individuals. Stats. Beware the compiler.

Doctors in NY are being pressured to NOT give medical exemptions. Even if they do recognize what’s happening , most are not willing to out their licenses under scrutiny. The judges and politicians here have yet to side in favor of those against vaxx mandates.

There've been about 6 employee vax mandate cases go to court (not in NY, though). All have been decided in favor of the employee. Right now, everyone is going with "religious accomodation," and it's winning. Religious can be any sincerely held belief that forced medication is wrong.

I was referring to NY specifically in my statement, as I have no idea what other states are deciding . What happens here sets the precedent for many other areas… I hope the judges continue to decide in the favor of those opposed to mandates in other states , though I think its only a matter of time before they all decide against exemptions.

True. They and their collectivist/safetyist ideology have infested almost every major institution in every first world country. You can't ignore them, and you can't get rid of them with "democracy" which is mostly a sideshow for the real government, which is them and their ever-expanding bureaucracies. I increasingly agree with Curtis Yarvin. The only way to change this is to tear the entire thing down and start over. Action that radical and rapid cannot be done by decentralized underdogs, it has to be done by a Caesar-like leader coming to power. The US has been completely reconstituted this way twice so far, by Lincoln and FDR. We're overdue.

Expand full comment

OHSL, I appreciate your sentiments, but this statement is a bit too evocative of the Marxist/leftist philosophy of destruction, “The only way to change this is to tear the entire thing down and start over.” In other words, “Build back better.”

I know you don’t mean it in the same way, but it is challenging to figure out how to extricate the rot without destroying the skeletal structure, which, at least in the United States, where we have a solid Constitution, is still sound.

Expand full comment

No, what I'm talking about is definitely the opposite of Marxism. Marxism is basically the character of the world order and what needs to be destroyed. I'm not talking about riots, burning buildings and destroying statues, I'm talking about

a leader being elected then going full Lincoln or FDR - basically what the left feared Trump would be. Every single person who believes the ideology and works in the managerial state needs to be removed from any position of influence and power. Entire institutions need to be dissolved and replaced.

Going back to the good ol' days of the Constitution is the west coast Straussian position that you'll find with Michael Anton, American Mind and the Claremont Institute. I'm sympathetic, Anton's The Stakes is a great book, but don't think it's realistic.

The Constitution may be theoretically solid and sound, but it's basically already toilet paper. What wasn't done to it with the War on Drugs and War On Terror was mostly accomplished in just the last few years. We're zooming past rule by mandate to rule by press conference right now. They've got so many obedient drones out there and so much control over bureaucratic and media apparati, they don't need even need a mandate or enforcement.

This, here, is where all the hate and anger and darkness that has bloomed in my heart in the last 18 months comes from.

I have NEVER spend so many hours and days walking around angry and scared as I have in this time.

You LITERALLY want to kill me? You literally want me to die, to suffer, to be left to starve or bleed out?

I've done NOTHING to you. NOTHING. I've been healthy as a horse these entire two years, and you want to end my life, my livelihood, my rights, my freedom? You want to fuck with my family, break it up, put me in a camp?

Part of me would really like to just open the box up and let's get this over with. I'm not afraid of these sycophantic, weak-willed, spiteful cowards in a straight-up fight.

I will take SO MANY of you tweeting little shits down to hell.

I understand your anger, I've felt that way myself, like Michael Douglas in the film Falling Down - Just cannot take take anymore. The problem is that anger is self-destructive, it eats away at you, think of your blood pressure dude. Seriously though it's best to try to detach a bit, I know it's hard. Take a break from social media. Remember there's a big agenda here and we're being pushed into certain roles, this is has been thought through and controlled from the beginning. So although your anger is righteous and justified, stop and think because it will take focus and unity to win against the forces we're fighting. They have total control over most aspects of this, media, pharma, big tech, banking and industry, all we have is our love of people and freedom, but that will be enough. Hold the line my friend.

This, right here, is why gato's blog is something I look forward to reading every day.

After the relentless onslaught of these petty tyrants for the past 20 months, I too have reached a level of anger that is threatening to break through at any moment. I have been patient. I have been polite. I have pleaded, cajoled and pushed for reason to be applied. And now I, too, am ready to just have the battle I know I'm equipped to win.

It's interesting how the left wants unvaxxed people to die. It makes me wonder if the vaccines are causing more psychosis than the occasional case. Maybe some of these jerks still think the vaccines protect others. Word is out that they don't but do these bozos get the message? Do they know their capacity to sicken and spread disease is greater than unvaxxed people's? When I meet a vax pusher I mention all that and frequently get blank looks.

What got me past that darkness (most of the time) is realizing that they are, in fact, weak.

They're not the Red Guards. They're not even the kid in Cabaret singing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me". They're Veruca Salt throwing a hissy-fit.

Given that they're literally terrified of the very air they breathe, their whole "Triumph of the Will" schtick is farcical. You want to put me in a camp, you got to step out of your house and come within six feet of me first.

Being scared of them gives them WAY too much credit -- which is precisely what they want, so I make a point of not giving it to them. I'm not asking their permission for anything. I'm not even debating them. As an undeserved courtesy, I'm calmly explaining to them why they are not going to get what they want.

This drives them nuts, and that's a lot more fun than feeling scared and angry and such.

"The Science" is nothing more than religion for people who hate traditional religions. It has anointed priests, unelected in their positions, untested in their expertise, who create a false narrative in the minds of followers while speaking in provable facts (factual but not truthful). This is little different from the behavior of the actual roman catholic church when it controlled politics across Europe, they would speak in accepted facts while feeding you an untrue narrative. "The Science" (as opposed to the practice of science) is entirely intertwined with politics, so people following "The Science" are following the state religion of the west, and woe to anyone trying to explain their moral bankruptcy to them, for then the state shall find you and excommunicate you. They'll feel righteous in doing so, of course, because they're "following the science", and that makes them a good person.

What I have really been wondering; isn’t it exhausting to be so angry and full of hatred all the time? I’m observing a case close to me and said person turned into a volatile, anger spouting human who rarely enjoys life. It’s all about evil anti vaxxers, how they should be punished, hours on social media daily, while mostly locked away at home (not even restaurant visits outside until April 2021 and still barely out and def not socializing). I concluded for the most paranoid it has to be a function of underlying sadness with their own life, lockdowns, lack of social life and gullibility and cognitive dissonance. But by keeping people locked down and scared you can much much much more easily mess with them on a psychological level. If you know mechanisms of psychology and propaganda well, it is rather obvious.

Funny thing about studying ethology: I stopped seeing humans using words to convey ideas. All I see now are apes hooting and waving sticks at each other to assert dominance. The rest is just frontal cortex window-dressing.

Covid hysteria is this for weak and passive-aggressive people. They've finally got a stick they can wave at others to elicit submissive behavior in response. So it's profoundly frustrating for them when they don't get that response. This leads to escalation. That's the anger and hatred.

What stops an ape from escalating too far is the risk that the other ape will get fed up and smack them down. Civilization and social media prevent us from doing that. So instead ours just keep hooting louder and waving their sticks more vigorously.

Perhaps, if I were a better person, this insight would lead me to view them with more compassion (or at least pity). But I'm not, so instead I use it to needle them.

No finger-wagging and shaming of the former sheep! They will find a way to become the victims who need a pass, make no mistake. Just like they believe "unmasked = murdering/racist," and therefore they must feel terrorized, I'm sure they will find a way to turn "formerly slavering cheerleader of authoritarian rule" into some fucking NPR StoryCorps teaching moment.

I think he saw the big picture, understood we're at war, and made a clever move. Political jujitsu. All this whiplash rhetoric lends credence to that theory.

Quoting somebody else here...

Trump understood the cabal and technocracy were baiting him. They wanted to box him in so they could shut down the economy indefinitely, and thereby destroy the backbone of American small businesses. Then shift control of money and power to international corporations forever. Then having destroyed the middle America’s access to a free-market economy, we would be enslaved, without recourse except probable Civil War and blood in the streets.

Instead, Trump got in front of the manufactured crisis. The manufactured crisis includes real death and destruction via physical and psychological warfare. He did this by fast-tracking their stated SOLUTION for a vaccine, so the Governors would have the premise they needed to open their States. Trump forced Governors to step up or get exposed for being leveraged fools.

If Trump had said, “Vaccines are poison, don't take them under any circumstances!!” the globalist medical hierarchy would have him lynched (or something like that). Then our country would be shut down and we'd be in the worst situation imaginable. Governors would have no recourse since the Left would blame them for deaths 24/7.
