I certainly don't get that impression. I went out with my book club for a holiday dinner last night ( I live where we have relatively few restrictions thankfully). I sit and listen and offer tidbits of truth but don't provoke.
One woman indicated she was hearing about "infusion" treatments for Covid. I responded that yes, monoclonal antibodies and also various vitamin/supplements were being given but you have to seek them out and pre-hospitalization as the hospitals follow a set protocol and don't provide them. She responded, questioning, asking why that would be. As I indicated, that was a good question and started to explain. Before I could get far another member, who is a pharmacist, jumped in with a curt "It's because there is no supply". I just let it go.
I am not good enough at oral debate when challenged. I didn't sleep well. I'm beating myself up for not calling out their misinformation. It is so firmly entrenched. Another commented at some point in the evening about the need to have "faith" in the CDC.
Oof it's so hard to feel like we messed up an opportunity. I am equally bad at oral debate and sleeping after a failed attempt! But still, we are planting seeds. If it's all we can do it's something.
I am hoping that maybe this one person will do some research. But she is a busy mom with kids still in school. I was hearted a bit to hear from the two that are young enough to be in the school system that they are really questioning the response. They are seeing first hand the damage that is being done to their kids. It is so sad.
Some homework for us. There are articles/editorials that outline the Federal policies for hospitals receiving Federal dollars and how those hospitals are required not only to treat COVID but how to list cause of death as COVID.
Brian Lincoln -- do you have links for the latter? My doctor friend tore a strip off me for saying deaths are being counted as Covid when the real killer was cancer or whatever. She said the sites I read are not trustworthy like the NYT! I didn't know what to say in the moment.
Tell her there was a roofer that was struck by lightening, hurt severely, sent to hospital, tested while there and discovered to have (symptomless) Covid, subsequently died and counted as a COVID death. A man wrecked on a motorcycle and died in hospital. They tested him for COVID. He had it - so he died from it according to the death cert. There are 1000's. If your doctor was worth her stripes and had an ounce of curiosity she would do some research, Just a little. Remember the CDC told the MSM they were probably severely undercounting COVID deaths? Yep. They said that. Then when people started calling them on their bull they admitted the actual deaths only from COVID were probably only 6% of formerly "died from COVID deaths. Not a conspiracy theory, facts. Me? I would tell her she should not be practicing medicine and then go find a real doctor.
A good way to improve your debating skills is to buy a gun and get professional instruction on its use (definitely avoid whomever Alec Baldwin uses). It is exceptionally empowering to have the ability to nullify the possibility of violence being used against you or your loved ones. My wife can attest to the phenomenon, as she was a committed hoplophobe and tells about her new inate confidence and independence (she didn't have to tell me, it's obvious, she's truly beautiful). As a marksmanship instructor myself, I hear these stories all the time. When you can't be physically forced to change your mind, the only option the opposition has is persuasion. We win that argument when their ideas are so good that they require force for compliance...
I know it might sound odd but taking a conceal and carry permit class is very helpful to first determine if carrying is right for you. But the info is very helpful in knowing your situation and what to do. I highly recommend.
we can't own guns here, but have bought ourself some other weapons. you know, for the goons going door to door with needles. still need to practice more, but I am not going quietly!
The founders considered bearing arms to be part of our civic duty.
I recommend this site as a great go-to for ladies who aren't in my area. I know it can be intimidating, but so is anything that is new. Do your research and be prepared.
THIS. Though I have wondered for years when gun owners would actually make good on their threats. I mean citizens united anyone? They've been boiling us alive for years--it's careful and calculated. Meanwhile most citizens are waiting for someone to bang down their door. By then it's TOO LATE!
They just haven't been able to get the incremental messaging correct yet. If they find the proper label for the unvaxxed that resonates well with their base... They will move.
Call the lady and talk to her, she deserves to know and then do her own research. do not drop it. you are an instrument for the truth and for good, do not forget that.
I think you did a terrific job. It is hard to swim against the tide. I treat this sort of situation like competition. Arm myself with information and have bullet points ready to go (preparation). Evaluate and note opponents weaknesses and strengths for the next match: What is the answer next time to the pharmacist? What were some of the other ladies saying and how do you answer it to help them? What shot works against them?: What one powerful tidbit can take away their power? That sort of thing.
My husband is the Ben Shapiro of debating covid. I am not. So frustrating. So I practice with him and a few friends.
I need more practice too. I am always so bummed that the conversation is not a repeat I am prepared for though--there's always something new for me to fail at ha ha. But at least we are showing we don't just follow the narrative and that has to count.
You were there, you used your voice. Be proud of speaking the truth when you did. You are a good person, doing hard work. Breath deeply, this will keep happening for many months, likely another year or two. Do you best and be proud you are on the right side, and you are willing to speak up, even if your voice shakes!
It is difficult to imagine that they will be any place in society for these people post-revolution. And I don't care if I sound just like they do in that I am discriminating against them in much the same way that they are against those of us who cherish our freedom more than we cherish life itself. These people are the problem. They may not be the ones who started the conspiracy, but, without them, the conspiracy could not have gone anywhere. They clearly do not value liberty. Therefore, they have nothing to contribute to a free society.
A while back Dennis Prager talked about how people prefer safety over freedom. A significant thing to come to grips with for a freedom loving person. But you must realize it and understand it (and its many forms and reasons).
Also, I did not mean cowardice is justified, just that people by in large, as evidenced by our situation with COVID 2 years on with people running to the government for safety, there are less people like us who hold freedom higher than safety.
By "You" I meant "One'. I bark up wrong trees occasionally, but I wasn't meaning accusation, just that we must all see the situation as clearly as possible. No snot meant : ))
I am hopeful you are right. And that's why they are panicking in many countries at the moment to get more done before it all falls apart. Why are we vaxxing the kids instead of the vulnerable old people with boosters? The people who actually end up in the hospital? To avoid the healthcare collapse that is the only thing that makes any sense? Because it is not about health or healthcare. Because it is about getting the shots in the arms. I don't care about the explanations about why that is necessary--could just be vax passes, could be a full blown genocide. Who cares? It has got to stop.
The powers-that-be are well aware of that, which is why they have been carefully constructing a society that is so fragmented, so divided along so many different lines, that our vastly superior numbers do not pose a threat.
I agree with this--pity so few see it. My kid was asked to wear purple to school on Friday for a discussion about inclusive sexuality. I let her decide if she wanted to, but asked her: What do you think really makes a difference--wearing purple or simply being kind to everyone? We are so easily distracted.
This is inevitable, but we'll win in the end. To quote Rick Grimes: "They're gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out...that they're fuckin with the wrong people".
A woman I know in her 40’s, healthy, thin, works for a company in their marketing division in Idaho. They make frozen burritos. They are mandating the jab. She is holding out and so they make her wear a lanyard which is color coded to tell everyone at work that she is unvaxxed. She works in an office. Not the processing plant. Even though these mandates from slow Joe keep going down in court, her company is still vax shaming her. She’s a single mom who can’t afford to quit amd has like her job. Unbelievable.
maybe - HIPPA - and ADA - is in parts null and void - bureaucrats in DC in Spring 2020 waived many of the requirements - my company (a law firm) routinely violates it.
She (anyone in a situation like this) should tease out the activism that is being displayed by those pushing this sort of stuff.
HR and other leaders think they have support from legal consultation. How likely were they to be half-tuned in during all of this? Assume it's true they couldn't even cite a word from the perceived legal support.
From there, it's all their opinions and misguided passion for the cause. When the question of accountability shows up later (from a lawsuit), the other execs will pretend that they had no idea that the enforcers strayed so far from the legal advice. Don't assume that anyone at that level understands a damn thing about any of this. They don't. It's just lunch room politics in middle school, really.
In short, they are making themselves EXTREMELY vulnerable to litigation. Your friend is actually in a powerful position. Again, she should very carefully and ethically tease out the activism for use later when she sues for damages.
I have thought about what I’d do in this situation. I decided I’d own it. Wear different masks each day that say unvaccinated, free person, resist, not for sale, uncensored, all natural etc
Yes. Have fun. Tease out the activism. Document. Know that you're actually in the power position, even if they fire you (do nothing to invite a good reason).
If they start claiming that you can't have messages on your mask, ask them to formalize it in policy or an email. Tempt them to realize their inner bully. If the company allows petty tyrant rules to be formalized in their name, score!
Masking tape sticks nicely to masks. Put a piece or two on, and then use a sharpie marker to write whatever you want. For a while I was putting three strips on mine at work with the words "Dehumanizing. Unhealthy. Useless."
And document everything! One of the cores to asymmetric warfare is using your opponent's strength against them... Make them over reach and then counter attack (with litigation in this case 😉).
To any of you out there still wearing masks when there's a sign on a door somewhere, please STOP. Being 'polite' and compliant on any level with this is incredibly damaging to the fight for normalcy. I'm guessing most of the people I still see in masks are double jabbed and either still scared or in the mask cult, but certainly there are a few rule followers out there.
I went into a restaurant to order sides for the holidays . All the tables were filled with patrons without masks. The worker asked me to mask up to order at the counter. I pointed to the customers and asked her if the virus disappeared when you sit down? Well they are eating and that’s why it’s ok she said . 🤦🏻♀️I shook my head and asked her if she doesn’t see it… what is going on .
Definitely! Do not comply. Come up with any reason you want. I've not worn one anywhere for more than a year. When questioned I would say I don't wear them for health reasons. Yeah, I like to breathe. And a place like GFS which posted a "no mask no service" sign, I refused to patronize permanently.
El gato Malone…. Like where you are going. For many of us declining the koolaid, mask and lockdown mandates due to our educated concerns about our health all seem reasonable.
Today I asked for a vit D level blood test. The nurse looked at me like I had two heads. Never heard of taking a vit d supplement. Never read anything about the effect of low vit D level in covid victims in hospital and or icu. We do have a lotta educating to do Lucy.
How about this one... I listened to an account at Truth for Health of a PA hospitalist who was fired. She started seeing rxns to the jab and did some research. She had no idea that VAERS existed! Then she discovered they were supposed to be reporting all events - didn't know that either. When it got overwhelming for her and she asked for help, they told her to only do her patients. When she pointed out others were not being entered that was it and they fired her.
And I just went back to look at the T4H video - it WAS Deborah in that video. When she said she'd never heard of VAERS in the link you posted, I thought "Oh it must be the same person."
Aww, what a beautifully touching comment, Brian! You’re going to make me tear up :-) Thank you, too, for being part of this epic resistance movement. We need all hands on deck 🙌
I'd send this to my BiL, but he'd refuse to read it just like he did the 3 minute video I sent out earlier this week. People here keep me sane and show me he's not worth trying to relate with. Who needs people that consistently treat you with contempt?
Trust me, my mind got blown a long time ago! 🙄 I've been following Steve Kirsch, so I know about the 150k number. It's the first line in the description of VAERS that convinces me they DO NOT CARE: "VAERS is an early warning system used to monitor adverse events..."
Had a conversation with a trainer at my gym who is convinced I'm a conspiracy theorist b/c I know there has been effective treatment since early 2020 and people died b/c hospitals are still following the "run!deathisnear" protocol 2 years later. I'll keep trying to wake him up.
What most people don’t appreciate, even some on our side, is how stealthily the perpetrators are acting.
Any of us can pledge never to get vaccinated vs covid19.
Ok. Imagine your country requires a valid VaxPass in order to enter large shopping complexes.
You’ll shop elsewhere, right?
What do you plan to do once government has reduced the floor area of stores for which a valid VaxPass is required to the small store near where you live?
Food shop online?
How confident are you that your electronic funds will always be accessible? If there’s a glitch, then what? These criminals are stealthy.
What if a rule is introduced that the unvaccinated must pay a €10K fine? I believe that’s proposed in Greece.
It’s furthermore the case that unpaid (or unpayable) fines can be conveyed into jail time.
They’re criminals & have run all the angles.
Whoever you are, if you tolerate the very presence of VaxPass in your neighbourhood / state / country, sooner or later, you’re going to be faced with a choice of deeply wrong options.
Struggle to obtain food, or get vaccinated.
Pay fines until you go broke, or get vaccinated.
Remain under virtual house arrest, or get vaccinated.
This is why FOR MONTHS I’ve argued that we must NOT permit, tolerate or accept VaxPass where you live.
Even if there’s no possible application of them to you or your neighbours any time soon, after a while, they’ll be at your doorstep by stealth.
I know this because VaxPass has nothing to do with immunity or viruses.
It has everything to do with CONTROL.
I heard that Australia just put in an order for a sufficient number of covid19 vaccines to inject every Australian A FURTHER TEN TIMES.
That would make a dozen or so, each.
We should not assume that they won’t make further orders.
I don’t know his to stop VaxPass from encroaching on your very existence, but I recommend that the job will be a THOUSAND TIMES EASIER to prevent their establishment than to stop their spreading like Black Death ONCE ESTABLISHED & WIDELY ACCEPTED.
If you buy that argument about VaxPass, I beg of you that you focus at least an identified portion of your time & attention on PREVENTING THEIR INITIAL ESTABLISHMENT.
Did I mention that these vaccines do not prevent transmission? And that, lacking this property, there is absolutely no public health argument for them.
All of this! I have been thinking about these angles for months whereas most of my tin foil hat friends are secure in just sitting at home. Assuming we will have the longest breath. If only. If we are really lucky all cause mortality may wake more people up in time to throw off the yoke. If we are unlucky they will back off just enough for us to stay comfortable for a bit as they get their shit together. That is what is happening in the Netherlands at the moment and after initial relief I was kind of bummed. We need the ugly to show itself so an unstoppable revolution breaks out. If not, we are truly sunk. I don't know how long I will be able to hold out. We all have a breaking point. It think daily about the German father who killed his wife and children before himself this week. I have had those thoughts and then he actually did it. That's how desperate this situation is. Either it won't be as bad as we predict, or we are indeed better off dead.
As a random aside I listened to your delingpod podcast from October 2020 this week and I was wishing there was an update because I know you, like most of us, have evolved your thinking significantly since then. What's a good place to hear you describe how this happened?
Stephenie, I was part of a Doctors4CovidEthics event yesterday that was hosted on a very good show called U.K. Column. One cofounder is a former British Naval officer, I think on submarines, Brian Gerish.
I expect you can stream that two hour event from the U.K. Column website. I only speak for 15-20 minutes. The chair was Catherine Austin Fitts, who I adore. I think of her as “my opposite number” in the broad field of finance.
The title of my rambling speech was “TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT”.
My thinking hasn’t changed very much. This I think is more a testament to how obvious things were even 14 months ago rather than to my prescience.
As I said then in conversation with James Delingpole, you don’t plan for 20-30 years at least in order merely to reorganise the financial system. You don’t throw hundreds of thousands of people under various busses en route to their goals, only to be kindly dictators, concerned for our well-being.
Since then, the worlds liberal democracies have been held in something approaching suspended animation, experiencing completely unprecedented reductions in GDP. This in the case of U.K. is 8-10 times worse than the 2008 global financial crisis. I’m no expert, but I recall back then being told in no uncertain terms that had the GFC been any worse, it would have been completely impossible to resurrect it. Well, now it’s an order of magnitude worse. I conclude that our old financial system is already dead & things are apparently normal because those who run the system at the macro level are making it appear so. That doesn’t involve many people. The heads of the major central banks, the largest private banks & financial companies, the international financial institutions.
One test is what’s happening to foreign exchange trading, in light of events. I would have expected Sterling to have plummeted in relative value vs USD, because we’re operating in U.K. like Venezuela (monetary financing, ie print & spend, very little by way of “gilts” issuance). Those moves aren’t happening. Cont/
Measures are being ratcheted tighter over time. England just announced vaccine passports. They’re absurd of course. We know what happens after that, because we have several examples in Europe & elsewhere.
I see no method for removal of VaxPass once embedded in a society & accepted by a sufficient vocally supporting minority. That’s because they believe they’re being protected by them. Try removing safety from terrified people. They’ll fight you. The perpetrators don’t need to do a thing.
I’d speculated last year that they’d use “variants” to manufacture modified “vaccines” & that these would kill far more people than first gen vaccines (which I reasoned couldn’t be safe, though I grossly underestimated their toxicity). I expected coordinated fear porn about risks from the variants, with the actual lethality coming from the variant vaccines. But they’ve not even bothered to lie exuberantly about omicron. Even allowed it to be reported as common cold like. I think that’s deliberate, now. Desmet said that the more things don’t make sense, the easier it is to force distance between the adherents & the non-compliant. Those adhering to narrative & instructions despite the ludicrously bad fit of facts to the required measures forces them to stop thinking & just do what they’re told. It’s a form of deliberate disorientation. It’s working, too.
I also hadn’t thought far down the road to see the possibility of endless crisis & open-ended injections, which now looks likely (Australia ordering enough doses for ten more each).
How about they ramp up the all-causes mortality by just a little each cycle? Then there’d never be an overwhelmingly large pile of bodies. Instead, it’ll normalise the death rates to the point that they won’t be asked about it & there’ll be no watershed event to point to.
Either way, totalitarianism, total control, an iron will to require everyone to be injected or else be excluded. They’re doing this excluding in a series of steps, so each person is forced repeatedly to choose between an immediately bad option & a worse one. If faced with house arrest indefinitely or vaccination, how many even of us will say no? Or bankruptcy vs vaccination? Or internment vs vaccination? Or being physically threaten by your terrified neighbours vs vaccination?
It’s a ghastly prospect. I already know I’d choose death, gladly, if I found myself on that treadmill because I’d have no wish to survive in such a world.
But back to resistance & the Delingpole interview. The one thing that stands out much more starkly now than 14mo ago is this: the permanent end to liberal democracy is when VaxPass is in place & normalised by enough frightened people that no amount of protest & non-cooperation could throw it off.
We’re two minutes to midnight almost everywhere but in the USA & some states already look close to that turning point.
They might be the exception to my general rule of non-removeability, because of the unique circumstances. The individual states can have completely different policies so those not willing to succumb can fill their car & drive to a state which doesn’t use Vaxpass.
The obvious concern is that the perpetrators presumably modelled this outcome & have developed tools for taking over such states, one at a time.
The best way to stop that is to explicitly warn the people that this is what you expect to happen.
I hope that gets accomplished. I’ve communicated this to my American colleagues.
Interesting you should should say that about Catherine as I think of you two as the most prescient, clarifying voices in this war against the Biggest Lie, and it was your “Planet Lockdown” interviews that helped me understand the mechanisms behind the manipulations I acutely sensed from the outset but hadn’t yet fully contextualized.
I look forward to listening to the UK Column event. I have been impressed by their reporting, and it looks like a phenomenal lineup of speakers.
Thank you I will check this out! Catherine Austin Fitts is a key figure for sure, as are you! Apologies for misconstruing the significance of any changing opinions in the past 14 months. I listen to so much I may have missed something. I just remember thinking as I listened that it was before the actual vaccine rollout and I have heard you mention here and elsewhere since then that you believe it is part of a depopulation agenda and I wondered if there was anything specific that got you to this conclusion. Perhaps like many of us it's just a sum total of everything going on--there is no explanation that fits better. Another commenter here compared it to asking a fish to describe the water he is swimming in. It is just all around, there's no specificity. In any case you were for sure an early signaler and I wish that more had been paying attention! Looking forward to listening to more of what you have to say. Thank you for speaking up.
No, yours is a good question. Part of the reason I’ve not done many new videos is that we’re on a glide path almost as described (at least in my own mind). Things are proceeding in a horribly predictable manner. I so much wish they weren’t!
Oh it's bad alright. And the US isn't even in the dire straights we are in here in Europe with our digital system all ready to go and all too easily coupled with our amazing digital banking infrastructure. We're super fucked. And the resistance is underpowered exactly because we have brainwashed citizens willing to inform on their friends and neighbors. There are numerous job vacancies not only for the QR code scanners at restaurants, theaters and department stores, no, there are also perfectly public advertisements for "mystery guests" who arrive in plain clothes and inform on business owners who do not scan all guests. It's truly horrific. There are no options for people who don't want to discriminate except to close their business. They are targeting teens and young adults to do this because they are cheap labor and not mature enough to realize what the heck they are participating in. Many have bought into the system because at their age they have no choice. There is no life for them without a QR code. The next generation will not save us or indeed themselves.
in europe, too many are too accustomed to massive state interventions and to being subjects and not citizens.
vaxxpass etc is taking hold and despite the protests, they just keep pushing.
the problem is that "march on sunday work on monday" does not work. it does not put real pressure on the governments.
to do that requires sustained withdrawals and strikes. you have to bring the world to a stop.
fail to do so and this new normal of permission based subjugation will be the future and this health vector is just the start. this is the thin end of a very nasty wedge.
i fear for europe. they always fall for this stuff. happened in the 30's, happening now. been in the works since the days of bismark.
Absolutely agree. And I wish I had seen it sooner. We left the US a few years ago having decided that the future for our kids would be brighter in Europe. Never imagined this would happen. Now the question is do we give up and move back to the states or fight where we are? Neither route is an easy one. We are relatively financially independent, but how long will that last? Other than holding out for better days we are sadly not in a position to apply any real leverage, though we wholeheartedly support the few who are. I am hopeful the dock workers might manage it. I do exert pressure at school where I can, but the little victories are almost pathetic compared to what's coming.
I don't actually know. It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. We would be all alone and don't speak the language or know the culture. I'd rather move back to the USA--most family is in Utah, so not the worst option. Better than the communist state of Hawaii which is where I grew up! Never going back there.
The biggest fuckery is that if you remain unvaccinated you literally cannot earn a living officially here. Only remote work for unvaccinated and the vaccinated need to be tested twice a week lol.
On the paper it maybe looks good. You could find a remote only work - yeah right...
You can't even work in the forestry industry alone in the woods - need a vaccine.
You can't go hunting without being vaccinated...
Anyway - no work for the unvaccinated. I'd say that's a check mate right there.
Everything else is minor shit like not being able to shop in the big grocery stores. Who cares if you can't earn the money to buy groceries with anyway, right?! bhahahaha
Poland is introducing mandatory vaccinations to healthcare workers, so it's gone as well.. It's going to go down the same route as every other country in EU...
This is why I think running might be useless. Especially within the EU--notice that countries with independent currencies are holding out longer, but even Sweden is introducing vax passes finally. I had friends who were on the point of moving there and they've scraped those plans now. It's absolutely being done in increments so people don't cut and run. Very sinister. But while the US is enjoying a few victories I think it might be the same thing--turn down the heat for a minute and then turn it way back up later on. As the bad cat has explained, the US military is being hollowed out which is scary as hell and the Russia crap is also concerning. But sometimes I would rather we all just die in a big ball of fire--nuclear holocaust or asteroid, whatever--so I wouldn't have to try to keep surviving. I find it all very tiresome.
I'm seriously looking into moving to Russia as an option. Moscow is 12 hours away from where I'm at.
Russia is always being painted as the bad guy. You should reevaluate everything you've been fed about Russia since now you know how EU and USA really are.
I get your point about moving being useless. We're looking into getting cheap land with some trees on it and an old house. At least that way we're out of the cities and can raise chickens or whatever and heat the home with firewood etc.
Luckily we are US citizens so only have to test negative so far! But my despicable congressman is one of the sponsors for the vaxxed only flights bill.
Everything hinges on the US at this point. If it can hang on during this globalist assault, there is still hope. However, this defiance may lead to more deadly pandemics.
I'm more hopeful about the US than I was, with a few states leading the way. They weren't able to purchase every judge in the world & 3 legal victories in a row is a good start.
agreed, the people are starting to win in the US. large company after large company is cncl their vacc mandates... massive Silicon Valley corps (Oracle), massive hospital operators (HCA), key industry leaders dropping it... they must have seen that it was going to eat at their business and bottom line else would not have gone this route; but, they must have also felt the freedom to go this way without disproportionate shame, and certainly knowing the WH isn't going to be able to touch them based on recent court interventions/decisions. progress! take a bow, gato, take a bow... you and others... one day, we look back on heroes... McCullough, Gato, Berenson, front line docs all over the country, should be fun... praying for other places where this progress hasn't become widespread... press on, friends, press on...
have to wonder if part of the solution for Europe is more Brexits. Recognizing Boris is part of the problem in Britain, and so leaving the EU isn't a cure-all, but it can only help to get the power back as close as possible to the people - so you don't end up with subjects vs citizens. more countries leave the EU, less concentrated power in Brussels, less ease of forcing behavior based on e-banking power, the power has to be ceded back to the people... the safety in having States in the US has been no small thing. states have powers, a lot of them, and many have asserted these powers and become models of freedom. Govs Lee, DeSantis, others have paved the way... lastly, everyone who resists, who does not blindly follow those who have not earned their post through honest leadership, is also a hero - everyone. we will look back on this as a turning point... and celebrate all of you individuals, the ones without platform, the unknown names, and toast to your individual decisions... press on...
Since I choose not to engage with the madness, I’ve never had to present a QR code, but I’ve been tempted to put this image on my phone in case the need ever arises:
Oh yes! I love that one! It was a good code for some to subtly gain access without actually taking the poison, but the mystery guests and ridiculous fines have really cracked down on business owners ability to fly under the radar. It's so tragic. I gave up and we just party at home nowadays. So you do have the digital system in PNW then? That sucks!!!
I read an article sometime within the pandemic era about "crowdsourced totalitarianism" that reflected on similar. Of course as Peterson notes, totalitarianism, when it manifests in a regime, does so at every level of society, perpetuated by neighbors and the chattel as much as or more than the literal state actors. That reality is not new. What is new is the digital component and what the muddying of "real." Unprecedented ability to track dissidents.
And yet the same thing giving them their new tools of control frustrates their information monopoly. Mischievous and motivated cats can use decentralized new media to get up on the mantle and knock the snowglobes off their ledge and poop in the stockings.
It's no wonder there is a mad dash toward more censorship by big tech "partners" of government. Any authoritarian worth his salt knows the emerging marketplace of ideas will be the end of the controlled narrative within a generation or two. That's bad news if you want to maintain controlled people.
Sobriety is resistance! - all of it! - starting, (I hope you can) with psycho prescription meds - and on to booze, pot, pain meds (I hope you can) - 0 meds is the goal.
Fauci is ratcheting up his "game" - the quintessential bureaucrat imho. But what do we expect? For him to say, "well, it looks like the vaccines work for a small age cohort with comorbidities that were likely to die within 6 to 12 months...because we looked at the charts and realized deaths above expected are at the highest point ever even with mass vaccinations of the most vulnerable" - yeah, that won't happen.
My older sister just retired from NIH. She just got her third vaxx there and joined a "study" (I think you get paid, oh goodie) of vaxxed people. My brother and sister in law, I would not visit them vaxxed or unvaxxed. They are leftist lefties and hysterically hateful toward me.
My daughters do not care. My oldest and her hubbs got the vaxx, but maybe that is good. They are both tubby. My younger daughter and her hubbs and three adorable babies are not vaxxed as we are not as well.
Monitor your health every day. My mom lived to 91 and my daddy just turned 98. He lived through WW2 in a nazi work camp after being picked up in a razzia. They were running out of healthy young men so they went to Rotterdam to snag a couple hundred boys. The stories my dad has told me over the years...... the stuff he ATE, and germy crap he had to wear, oh my gosh, it would make you sick. once a month the nazi bosses would make all of their pow guys (my dad included) completely undress and get a shower, or a bath in some water. The told the guys that they would get clean clothes but they were not clean, they were clothes taken off dead people probably. MY DADDY LAUGHS ABOUT THIS! but he was 18.
Anyway, the human race is declining in reason and rationality. we need to stop listening to these leaders that are addicted to themselves and their own "ideas"
Oh I meant to say.... eat properly, force yourself to do some exercise, don't be a slob (I tell myself this every day haha) drink loads (compare it to flushing away, right) get enough sleep, breathe in fresh air. Try as hard as you can to not consume too much junky food
Many seem to think that because this is about “public health” and the targets aren’t a race or religion, that it’s somehow different. The tactics being used are the same ; the target this time are “the unvaxed” but what that really means is, “the uncooperative” . They are trying to rid society of people who go against government. Plain and simple. They’rejust brainwashing the people into thinking it’s about public health, and it’s right and just… but anyone who has lived through similar or really studied history knows this is EXACTLY how they got society at large to turn a blind eye, accept, and even support segregation, alienation, and then genocide. Step. By. Step. And now we have wonderful social media full of useful idiots parroting these divisive messages, which just further their agenda to divide us and build an acceptable level of disgust and hatred against a group of people.
You're right. But all of this is being done on purpose. Every movie about tyranny and persecution, every history lesson in school, all of the recent politics about fairness and equality and human rights... it was all setting everyone up for this moment. People are now being encouraged to persecute and discriminate for no reason whatsoever, not even for some superficial racial or cultural difference as in the past. People are literally taking glee in persecuting their own flesh and blood brothers and sisters. Not only do they not see anything wrong with it, but they actually have great enthusiasm for it. Yay for me, I did something terrible to an innocent person simply because I was told to do it. Every lying hypocrite is being exposed and each and every one will be held to account (and not by men). It's all coming down to the wire now.
I recommend anyone to read a book called The Gulag Archipelago. When they arrested people on false charges, the ones being arrested did not protest or object or fight back. They went willingly. Look at all the footage on twitter from Austria, Australia and Germany or UK where people get fucked over or arrested for not wearing a fucking mask. A FUCKING MASK.
They don't fight back, because it's not a hill to die on.
I say fuck them up by any means neccessary. At least carry a knife if you don't have a gun.
My stance is this and I mean it: I'm not getting arrested for silly shit or anything for that matter. I'm not a criminal and apart from jaywalking and breaking the speed limits while driving I'm nice.
No gun, but at least I have a knife. I know what I'm willing to do when somebody, and I don't care if he has a police vest on, attacks me or threatens me in any way.
Do you know what you're willing to do?
Because if you don't, I bet dollars to donuts that you're going to be one of those people that don't do nothing when push comes to shove. The thinking has to be done beforehand. When the game is on, it's too late to think about anything. It's go time and if you have not thought it out before, you're fucked.
“The majority sit quietly and dare to hope.… At what exact point, then, should one resist? When one’s belt is taken away? When one is ordered to face into a corner? When one crosses the threshold of one’s home? An arrest consists of a series of incidental irrelevancies, of a multitude of things that do not matter, and there seems no point in arguing about any one of them individually—especially at a time when the thoughts of the person arrested are wrapped tightly about the big question: ‘What for?’—and yet all these incidental irrelevancies taken together implacably constitute the arrest.”
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? … We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Have you honestly thought deeply about what you're willing to do if they come for you?
It's very tough I'll grant you that, because you're innocent and as the author of that quote said in the same book(and I paraphrase): you think it's a misunderstanding that's going to be sorted out. So a rational person who has not thought it through beforehand would not think or act like his life is being taken away at that moment of arrest.
This is fantastic advice! I grew up with the directive to make decisions on your choices before you went out and had those choices tested: ie, don't drink and do drugs at a party. It holds true now more than ever. We have drawn our line in the sand and we have armed ourselves with the weapons allowed to us here just in case. Because it's either that or cut and run somewhere and that doesn't help anyone but us.
We're looking into moving from EU, but apart from Mexico and maybe some parts of Africa, there's really not much choice. And I'm not even talking about earning a living, just a place to bail from this. I'm not going to act like I want to help someone. Most people deserve what's coming, because they are cowards through and through.
Everyone just needs to brush away the thin smoke screen of AUTHORITY from their eyes and stop believing in it all together. We've been raised to respect and comply with authority since childhood.
The person in a uniform is just that - another person. If you know in your heart of hearts it's wrong what he's doing then that's your que.
We're all pretty much dead anyway, so at least don't go as cowards.
P.S. I recall something else from the Gulag Archipelago book. Its author said that the best people did not survive the camp. Implying that they did not submit and stood up.
All I can say is, you have to be alert at all times and prepared mentally and physically. Find strength and courage in rightness of what you're doing. Know that you've not disobeyed the law, even though they say this or that is law. You have a brain to know when a law is a law and when a law is nonsense and those imposing it on you are your enemies and mean you nothing but harm.
It's all very depressing, but hey... try to be the one who stands up and at least, maybe, if someone sees you standing up, they'll think about it too. But don't do it for other people. Do it for you and your family.
That's what I am afraid of as well--the tyranny will just follow us. So maybe best to take a stand. I understand what you are saying with look out for number one and I agree to a point, but we cannot do this alone. As much as the sheeple deserve what's coming, if we manage to save them from themselves it will ultimately help my family as well. My daughter has joined the maskless resistance at school and I hope we may get some people thinking!
Where in Europe are you? I can't stop thinking about the German father who killed his wife and children before killing himself because they were caught with a fake vax pass. Part of me sympathizes, though when I talk about it with my hubby as the ultimate fuck you, he calls me crazy so.... we might end up as slaves and try to make the best of it while we can. I guess I might end up a camp survivor, while secretly wishing I was one of the best people. Still, Victor Frankl did learn a lot and was able to pass that wisdom on. We shall see. Thanks for the advice and encouragement. It means a lot.
Oh yeah, it was Victor Frankl who said what I ascribed to Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
We're in Latvia. Working is forbidden to the typhus carriers.
Read "How I Found Freedom In an Unfree World" by Harry Browne. It's worth its weight in Bitcoin, if Bitcoin had a weight... =]
You can't change anyones mind. They either do it themselves or they don't. And you certainly can't save any of them.
You have to spend all of your resources(time, energy, money, ...) on yourself and your family. Personal responsibility not the nonsense about societal responsibility.
Yeah, the social pressure must have been awful in this German fathers mind. Then again, I look at these people as weak people.
This is going to be heavy...
What I contemplate on my walks alone is, whether I could take my girlfriends and our sons lives to spare them the camps and the torture at the last moment when it's obvious it's inevitable. I doubt that I could...
We're trying to figure out a 6 month SHTF plan of living/survival, then a 12 month, 24 month, 36 month one. They all build on each other.
We had no electricity in our apartment this morning for half a day. Couldnt even find the fucking candles for a while to have some light apart from the phones flashlight, let alone water stored and plan for what to do if we would have to bail...
I'm a cheery optimist, but all of the things that are happening around the world are gloomy as fuck....
Listening to audio book now. This past 18 months had been an eye opener for me. I think your advice to think through what you would do in advance is so important. I feel so much better when I do concrete things to protect my family from tyranny.
The boiling frog analogy is quite fitting. Put the frog in a pot and slowly warm the water. The frog doesn't make any attempt to escape and for a while even feels more comfortable. Then the water gets warmer and warmer until it is hot and the frog boils.
This incrementalism has been used before in recent years. It was used to get supporters of peace to support wars. It was used to get supporters of freedom of the press to support censorship. It's shaping. The master planners define a goal and then plan how to get people to move in that direction in increments.
“You have underestimated the resilience of the human spirit. You have boiled the pot too quickly. You have forgotten what survivors do when backed into a corner.”
No I don't think you're a hopeless dreamer. I don't think you can keep all the people down all the time. Without some serious violence at some point. Until they kill all of us who are willing to fight they will not win. They still might win and humanity will become slaves, but I have to believe that it won't be forever.
It's not about fighting vs not fighting. I'm just not going to live in a delusion that these people that have the power to pull the things off that they have pulled off will be defeated by protests or whatever we do.
Seeing it all for what it is does not mean I'm going to take it with a smile on my face lying down..
He is like a messiah showing us the way! Can't get enough of him! Got turned onto him early thanks to being able to understand Flemish, so glad he is getting more exposure. Take heart, the witch hunters never win forever.
I love Desmet too. His Mass Formation explanation hits the nail on the head. But he's wrong with some of his conclusions. Totalitarianism does not always destroy itself. In most cases, it has to be destroyed, and usually with external influence. Just speaking out is not going to resolve this. Even Substack is not safe. I can see a future where Google buys them out and axes all the pages we love. The problem is so systemic the only solution is to burn the current system down.I know no one wants to hear this and many people are going to have to face reality soon.
Yes I worry we are walking into a generation of unavoidable slavery. And probably you are right that the only solution is slash and burn and then build back better our way. But how?! I am not a general in this war. I am a foot soldier. I try not to let it get me down, but I have zero skills to push along what we need to do. All I got is an ability to see what we don't want to do. At least I am willing to stand here and hold the line.
Great point. I happened to believe ideology is at the center of this. Collectivism vs individualism. Individualists, like cats, are not good at collectivising about anything. We don't even really like each other. But we do have a sense of self-preservation, so many have gotten the jab purely for that reason, and care nothing about what others are doing. These people have ideology and don't know it, so defending it isn't something they've ever thought about. These are the folks who'll eventually wake up and come to our side. Having the media 100% on the side of collectivism is a huge advantage for them. Collectivists will always be better at unifying, syncrenizing, strategizing and mobilizing, but if more individualists knew we share an ideology that is under attack and must be defended at all cost, I think we could even the battlefield.
To be clear, purhaps a majority of collectivists are not consciously aware of their ideology either. But they feel a natural attraction to collectivism and are easily pulled in that direction. To them, this really is about "saving lives". When really smart people become outlandishly stupid, it's a surefire sign they have ulterior motives, either conscious or subconscious.
"They" have done a good job with those who need to be told what to do, instead of thinking for themselves. In my Twitter travels I see so many "you not getting the vaccine and boosters are what the problem is!" When I counter I get muted/blocked. They want to hear nothing else- and they think they are doing the "right" thing. Now, we are both waiting for the big question from son/step son and wife about our visit in Jan. to see grandson. We hate to lie to them, but rationalize that maybe they NEED being lied to if they believe we should be "boosted" before interaction with a 7 month old.
It is absolutely acceptable. As an extreme example, a citizen lying to the SS about whether there were Jews in her attic was absolutely the right, moral thing to do. Morality is always, always of a piece with the context. It is also, of necessity, an individual determination. No one can tell another what is moral or immoral. So, my first sentence is obviously only for myself.
When both of my parents had dementia at the same time, the hardest thing was realizing that I couldn't use logic with them. My only option was to lie, which was hard for me. If I was in your position, I wouldn't hesitate to lie, because when it comes to the vax, they're no different than my dementia-addled parents.
A couple of things about Tony F’s most recent brainiac idea. Simply ignore or simply choose not to participate. Remember this is the hombre who said do not wear a mask, then it was you must wear a mask, then it was wear two masks. How can anyone take him seriously?

I certainly don't get that impression. I went out with my book club for a holiday dinner last night ( I live where we have relatively few restrictions thankfully). I sit and listen and offer tidbits of truth but don't provoke.
One woman indicated she was hearing about "infusion" treatments for Covid. I responded that yes, monoclonal antibodies and also various vitamin/supplements were being given but you have to seek them out and pre-hospitalization as the hospitals follow a set protocol and don't provide them. She responded, questioning, asking why that would be. As I indicated, that was a good question and started to explain. Before I could get far another member, who is a pharmacist, jumped in with a curt "It's because there is no supply". I just let it go.
I am not good enough at oral debate when challenged. I didn't sleep well. I'm beating myself up for not calling out their misinformation. It is so firmly entrenched. Another commented at some point in the evening about the need to have "faith" in the CDC.
Oof it's so hard to feel like we messed up an opportunity. I am equally bad at oral debate and sleeping after a failed attempt! But still, we are planting seeds. If it's all we can do it's something.
I am hoping that maybe this one person will do some research. But she is a busy mom with kids still in school. I was hearted a bit to hear from the two that are young enough to be in the school system that they are really questioning the response. They are seeing first hand the damage that is being done to their kids. It is so sad.
Some homework for us. There are articles/editorials that outline the Federal policies for hospitals receiving Federal dollars and how those hospitals are required not only to treat COVID but how to list cause of death as COVID.
Brian Lincoln -- do you have links for the latter? My doctor friend tore a strip off me for saying deaths are being counted as Covid when the real killer was cancer or whatever. She said the sites I read are not trustworthy like the NYT! I didn't know what to say in the moment.
NYT got it wrong about the Nazis and sided with them then too. Nothing has changed.
Tell her there was a roofer that was struck by lightening, hurt severely, sent to hospital, tested while there and discovered to have (symptomless) Covid, subsequently died and counted as a COVID death. A man wrecked on a motorcycle and died in hospital. They tested him for COVID. He had it - so he died from it according to the death cert. There are 1000's. If your doctor was worth her stripes and had an ounce of curiosity she would do some research, Just a little. Remember the CDC told the MSM they were probably severely undercounting COVID deaths? Yep. They said that. Then when people started calling them on their bull they admitted the actual deaths only from COVID were probably only 6% of formerly "died from COVID deaths. Not a conspiracy theory, facts. Me? I would tell her she should not be practicing medicine and then go find a real doctor.
Here is another one.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/cdc-director-agrees-that-hospitals-have-monetary-incentive-to-inflate-covid-19-data.html
Here is one from last year. Not the one I was thinking of though.
https://www.organiclifestylemagazine.com/cdc-admits-finacial-hospital-incentives-drove-up-covid-19-death-rates
Working on finding that.

Perhaps you can suggest a good podcast? It's easier for us moms to fit that into our day and I have been learning a lot this year!
That should be heartened!
A good way to improve your debating skills is to buy a gun and get professional instruction on its use (definitely avoid whomever Alec Baldwin uses). It is exceptionally empowering to have the ability to nullify the possibility of violence being used against you or your loved ones. My wife can attest to the phenomenon, as she was a committed hoplophobe and tells about her new inate confidence and independence (she didn't have to tell me, it's obvious, she's truly beautiful). As a marksmanship instructor myself, I hear these stories all the time. When you can't be physically forced to change your mind, the only option the opposition has is persuasion. We win that argument when their ideas are so good that they require force for compliance...
Ha...I wish there was a laugh emoji. But seriously, I am considering a gun purchase. I never thought I'd say that.
I know it might sound odd but taking a conceal and carry permit class is very helpful to first determine if carrying is right for you. But the info is very helpful in knowing your situation and what to do. I highly recommend.
we can't own guns here, but have bought ourself some other weapons. you know, for the goons going door to door with needles. still need to practice more, but I am not going quietly!
As El Gato would say... you get to keep the freedoms you fight for.
The founders considered bearing arms to be part of our civic duty.
I recommend this site as a great go-to for ladies who aren't in my area. I know it can be intimidating, but so is anything that is new. Do your research and be prepared.
https://thewellarmedwoman.com/
Additionally, there would be NO civil rights without the advent of firearms, they create equality between those with different physical attributes.
Are founders didn't kid themselves about what people with power are capable of.
THIS. Though I have wondered for years when gun owners would actually make good on their threats. I mean citizens united anyone? They've been boiling us alive for years--it's careful and calculated. Meanwhile most citizens are waiting for someone to bang down their door. By then it's TOO LATE!
😂 - copy pasta my friend
requiring force for this shit should be an undeniable red flag. but most of my peers don't consider what's going on around the world force. smh.
They just haven't been able to get the incremental messaging correct yet. If they find the proper label for the unvaxxed that resonates well with their base... They will move.
Call the lady and talk to her, she deserves to know and then do her own research. do not drop it. you are an instrument for the truth and for good, do not forget that.
very inspiring.
I think you did a terrific job. It is hard to swim against the tide. I treat this sort of situation like competition. Arm myself with information and have bullet points ready to go (preparation). Evaluate and note opponents weaknesses and strengths for the next match: What is the answer next time to the pharmacist? What were some of the other ladies saying and how do you answer it to help them? What shot works against them?: What one powerful tidbit can take away their power? That sort of thing.
My husband is the Ben Shapiro of debating covid. I am not. So frustrating. So I practice with him and a few friends.
I need more practice too. I am always so bummed that the conversation is not a repeat I am prepared for though--there's always something new for me to fail at ha ha. But at least we are showing we don't just follow the narrative and that has to count.
You were there, you used your voice. Be proud of speaking the truth when you did. You are a good person, doing hard work. Breath deeply, this will keep happening for many months, likely another year or two. Do you best and be proud you are on the right side, and you are willing to speak up, even if your voice shakes!
no need to admonish yourself.
sometimes it is just not worth the waste of breath with these people.
The pharmacist in the group is obedient to her instructions. Your friend might learn on her own, but you could email her.
group discussions are so annoying now.
it's never equally balanced....
It is difficult to imagine that they will be any place in society for these people post-revolution. And I don't care if I sound just like they do in that I am discriminating against them in much the same way that they are against those of us who cherish our freedom more than we cherish life itself. These people are the problem. They may not be the ones who started the conspiracy, but, without them, the conspiracy could not have gone anywhere. They clearly do not value liberty. Therefore, they have nothing to contribute to a free society.
A while back Dennis Prager talked about how people prefer safety over freedom. A significant thing to come to grips with for a freedom loving person. But you must realize it and understand it (and its many forms and reasons).
I must realize what? That their cowardice is justified? You're barking up the wrong tree my friend.
Also, I did not mean cowardice is justified, just that people by in large, as evidenced by our situation with COVID 2 years on with people running to the government for safety, there are less people like us who hold freedom higher than safety.
sadly true and there's nothing we can do about it
By "You" I meant "One'. I bark up wrong trees occasionally, but I wasn't meaning accusation, just that we must all see the situation as clearly as possible. No snot meant : ))
I appreciate the explanation. And I do understand the spell the masses are under.
harsh but you have a point.
I believe this is true !!!
I believe the news reports of high vaxx compliance percentages are false !
Propaganda to make us think “everyone is doing it”. Stall, the mandates are falling…one after another…RESIST !
I am hopeful you are right. And that's why they are panicking in many countries at the moment to get more done before it all falls apart. Why are we vaxxing the kids instead of the vulnerable old people with boosters? The people who actually end up in the hospital? To avoid the healthcare collapse that is the only thing that makes any sense? Because it is not about health or healthcare. Because it is about getting the shots in the arms. I don't care about the explanations about why that is necessary--could just be vax passes, could be a full blown genocide. Who cares? It has got to stop.
The powers-that-be are well aware of that, which is why they have been carefully constructing a society that is so fragmented, so divided along so many different lines, that our vastly superior numbers do not pose a threat.
I agree with this--pity so few see it. My kid was asked to wear purple to school on Friday for a discussion about inclusive sexuality. I let her decide if she wanted to, but asked her: What do you think really makes a difference--wearing purple or simply being kind to everyone? We are so easily distracted.
You are not wrong but I do have hope
Oh, I certainly do not believe that the situation is hopeless. In fact, I firmly believe that Good will triumph over Evil.
It always does! Or there would be only blackness.
Yes there are. And it’s going to get violent if it has to.
Yes it will FB. Liberty and Freedom are not free. I will fight to the bloody end.
This is inevitable, but we'll win in the end. To quote Rick Grimes: "They're gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out...that they're fuckin with the wrong people".
Darn tootin' Prof!
😉
Love this!
I really hope so
Sure are SG
means jack shit.
Nazis were stopped because of war. Communism because of the collapse of Soviet Union.
This time there's no war and almost everyone is in on it. Maybe apart from Russia, which is ironic in and of itself.
No one will save you. Sometimes life or in this case fucked up ideologies just do you in. You'll find out soon enough.
Sad part is there will be no fun for ppl like me to tell my fellow inmates "I told you so"....
Live the life you can live while you still have the chance.
Or maybe read some books on the French Resistance and get some motivation...
A woman I know in her 40’s, healthy, thin, works for a company in their marketing division in Idaho. They make frozen burritos. They are mandating the jab. She is holding out and so they make her wear a lanyard which is color coded to tell everyone at work that she is unvaxxed. She works in an office. Not the processing plant. Even though these mandates from slow Joe keep going down in court, her company is still vax shaming her. She’s a single mom who can’t afford to quit amd has like her job. Unbelievable.
This is a violation of HIPAA. She should document as much as possible. https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/-coffee-and-covid-monday-october-4e1
My thoughts exactly. Take and keep pictures of company get togethers or meetings. Take notes and keep a log of all discriminatory words and actions.
maybe - HIPPA - and ADA - is in parts null and void - bureaucrats in DC in Spring 2020 waived many of the requirements - my company (a law firm) routinely violates it.
Thank you all for these suggestions. I will pass them on
She (anyone in a situation like this) should tease out the activism that is being displayed by those pushing this sort of stuff.
HR and other leaders think they have support from legal consultation. How likely were they to be half-tuned in during all of this? Assume it's true they couldn't even cite a word from the perceived legal support.
From there, it's all their opinions and misguided passion for the cause. When the question of accountability shows up later (from a lawsuit), the other execs will pretend that they had no idea that the enforcers strayed so far from the legal advice. Don't assume that anyone at that level understands a damn thing about any of this. They don't. It's just lunch room politics in middle school, really.
In short, they are making themselves EXTREMELY vulnerable to litigation. Your friend is actually in a powerful position. Again, she should very carefully and ethically tease out the activism for use later when she sues for damages.
I have thought about what I’d do in this situation. I decided I’d own it. Wear different masks each day that say unvaccinated, free person, resist, not for sale, uncensored, all natural etc
Yes. Have fun. Tease out the activism. Document. Know that you're actually in the power position, even if they fire you (do nothing to invite a good reason).
If they start claiming that you can't have messages on your mask, ask them to formalize it in policy or an email. Tempt them to realize their inner bully. If the company allows petty tyrant rules to be formalized in their name, score!
I need a mask with the “Become Ungovernable” gato!
Masking tape sticks nicely to masks. Put a piece or two on, and then use a sharpie marker to write whatever you want. For a while I was putting three strips on mine at work with the words "Dehumanizing. Unhealthy. Useless."
And document everything! One of the cores to asymmetric warfare is using your opponent's strength against them... Make them over reach and then counter attack (with litigation in this case 😉).
I have a friend who bought a mask made of mesh. They can't say she isn't wearing one but she can still breathe! And it isn't obvious at first.
Non GMO and Unadulterated work as well.
Send her to thehealthyamerican.org...lots of great legal info and success stories there.
To any of you out there still wearing masks when there's a sign on a door somewhere, please STOP. Being 'polite' and compliant on any level with this is incredibly damaging to the fight for normalcy. I'm guessing most of the people I still see in masks are double jabbed and either still scared or in the mask cult, but certainly there are a few rule followers out there.
I went into a restaurant to order sides for the holidays . All the tables were filled with patrons without masks. The worker asked me to mask up to order at the counter. I pointed to the customers and asked her if the virus disappeared when you sit down? Well they are eating and that’s why it’s ok she said . 🤦🏻♀️I shook my head and asked her if she doesn’t see it… what is going on .
Definitely! Do not comply. Come up with any reason you want. I've not worn one anywhere for more than a year. When questioned I would say I don't wear them for health reasons. Yeah, I like to breathe. And a place like GFS which posted a "no mask no service" sign, I refused to patronize permanently.
El gato Malone…. Like where you are going. For many of us declining the koolaid, mask and lockdown mandates due to our educated concerns about our health all seem reasonable.
Today I asked for a vit D level blood test. The nurse looked at me like I had two heads. Never heard of taking a vit d supplement. Never read anything about the effect of low vit D level in covid victims in hospital and or icu. We do have a lotta educating to do Lucy.
How about this one... I listened to an account at Truth for Health of a PA hospitalist who was fired. She started seeing rxns to the jab and did some research. She had no idea that VAERS existed! Then she discovered they were supposed to be reporting all events - didn't know that either. When it got overwhelming for her and she asked for help, they told her to only do her patients. When she pointed out others were not being entered that was it and they fired her.
Same with Deborah Conrad!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIydr2ZqZto
And I just went back to look at the T4H video - it WAS Deborah in that video. When she said she'd never heard of VAERS in the link you posted, I thought "Oh it must be the same person."
Yes, I remember watching part of this.
Here is a good article from The American Thinker that gets into VAERS and the numbers. The graph showing deaths by vax should blow your mind.

If you haven’t already read it, I go into extensive detail about VAERS and vaxx fatalities/injuries in “Letter to a Holocaust Denier” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-holocaust-denier).
MAA, when I see you commenting on a subject, I feel like I am in the right place. Thank you for your writing and your stand for freedom.
Aww, what a beautifully touching comment, Brian! You’re going to make me tear up :-) Thank you, too, for being part of this epic resistance movement. We need all hands on deck 🙌
I'd send this to my BiL, but he'd refuse to read it just like he did the 3 minute video I sent out earlier this week. People here keep me sane and show me he's not worth trying to relate with. Who needs people that consistently treat you with contempt?
🙄🤗
Trust me, my mind got blown a long time ago! 🙄 I've been following Steve Kirsch, so I know about the 150k number. It's the first line in the description of VAERS that convinces me they DO NOT CARE: "VAERS is an early warning system used to monitor adverse events..."
Had a conversation with a trainer at my gym who is convinced I'm a conspiracy theorist b/c I know there has been effective treatment since early 2020 and people died b/c hospitals are still following the "run!deathisnear" protocol 2 years later. I'll keep trying to wake him up.
A nurse? Oh lord help us.
😲🤦♀️
What most people don’t appreciate, even some on our side, is how stealthily the perpetrators are acting.
Any of us can pledge never to get vaccinated vs covid19.
Ok. Imagine your country requires a valid VaxPass in order to enter large shopping complexes.
You’ll shop elsewhere, right?
What do you plan to do once government has reduced the floor area of stores for which a valid VaxPass is required to the small store near where you live?
Food shop online?
How confident are you that your electronic funds will always be accessible? If there’s a glitch, then what? These criminals are stealthy.
What if a rule is introduced that the unvaccinated must pay a €10K fine? I believe that’s proposed in Greece.
It’s furthermore the case that unpaid (or unpayable) fines can be conveyed into jail time.
They’re criminals & have run all the angles.
Whoever you are, if you tolerate the very presence of VaxPass in your neighbourhood / state / country, sooner or later, you’re going to be faced with a choice of deeply wrong options.
Struggle to obtain food, or get vaccinated.
Pay fines until you go broke, or get vaccinated.
Remain under virtual house arrest, or get vaccinated.
This is why FOR MONTHS I’ve argued that we must NOT permit, tolerate or accept VaxPass where you live.
Even if there’s no possible application of them to you or your neighbours any time soon, after a while, they’ll be at your doorstep by stealth.
I know this because VaxPass has nothing to do with immunity or viruses.
It has everything to do with CONTROL.
I heard that Australia just put in an order for a sufficient number of covid19 vaccines to inject every Australian A FURTHER TEN TIMES.
That would make a dozen or so, each.
We should not assume that they won’t make further orders.
I don’t know his to stop VaxPass from encroaching on your very existence, but I recommend that the job will be a THOUSAND TIMES EASIER to prevent their establishment than to stop their spreading like Black Death ONCE ESTABLISHED & WIDELY ACCEPTED.
If you buy that argument about VaxPass, I beg of you that you focus at least an identified portion of your time & attention on PREVENTING THEIR INITIAL ESTABLISHMENT.
Did I mention that these vaccines do not prevent transmission? And that, lacking this property, there is absolutely no public health argument for them.
A-freaking-men, Mike.
I think you’re the one who originally shared this harrowing letter from Lithuania, but I’m linking this must-read here for those who haven’t seen it:
https://rightsfreedoms.wordpress.com/2021/10/12/with-no-covid-pass-my-wife-and-i-are-banished-from-society-we-have-no-income/
All of this! I have been thinking about these angles for months whereas most of my tin foil hat friends are secure in just sitting at home. Assuming we will have the longest breath. If only. If we are really lucky all cause mortality may wake more people up in time to throw off the yoke. If we are unlucky they will back off just enough for us to stay comfortable for a bit as they get their shit together. That is what is happening in the Netherlands at the moment and after initial relief I was kind of bummed. We need the ugly to show itself so an unstoppable revolution breaks out. If not, we are truly sunk. I don't know how long I will be able to hold out. We all have a breaking point. It think daily about the German father who killed his wife and children before himself this week. I have had those thoughts and then he actually did it. That's how desperate this situation is. Either it won't be as bad as we predict, or we are indeed better off dead.
As a random aside I listened to your delingpod podcast from October 2020 this week and I was wishing there was an update because I know you, like most of us, have evolved your thinking significantly since then. What's a good place to hear you describe how this happened?
Stephenie, I was part of a Doctors4CovidEthics event yesterday that was hosted on a very good show called U.K. Column. One cofounder is a former British Naval officer, I think on submarines, Brian Gerish.
I expect you can stream that two hour event from the U.K. Column website. I only speak for 15-20 minutes. The chair was Catherine Austin Fitts, who I adore. I think of her as “my opposite number” in the broad field of finance.
The title of my rambling speech was “TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT”.
My thinking hasn’t changed very much. This I think is more a testament to how obvious things were even 14 months ago rather than to my prescience.
As I said then in conversation with James Delingpole, you don’t plan for 20-30 years at least in order merely to reorganise the financial system. You don’t throw hundreds of thousands of people under various busses en route to their goals, only to be kindly dictators, concerned for our well-being.
Since then, the worlds liberal democracies have been held in something approaching suspended animation, experiencing completely unprecedented reductions in GDP. This in the case of U.K. is 8-10 times worse than the 2008 global financial crisis. I’m no expert, but I recall back then being told in no uncertain terms that had the GFC been any worse, it would have been completely impossible to resurrect it. Well, now it’s an order of magnitude worse. I conclude that our old financial system is already dead & things are apparently normal because those who run the system at the macro level are making it appear so. That doesn’t involve many people. The heads of the major central banks, the largest private banks & financial companies, the international financial institutions.
One test is what’s happening to foreign exchange trading, in light of events. I would have expected Sterling to have plummeted in relative value vs USD, because we’re operating in U.K. like Venezuela (monetary financing, ie print & spend, very little by way of “gilts” issuance). Those moves aren’t happening. Cont/
Measures are being ratcheted tighter over time. England just announced vaccine passports. They’re absurd of course. We know what happens after that, because we have several examples in Europe & elsewhere.
I see no method for removal of VaxPass once embedded in a society & accepted by a sufficient vocally supporting minority. That’s because they believe they’re being protected by them. Try removing safety from terrified people. They’ll fight you. The perpetrators don’t need to do a thing.
I’d speculated last year that they’d use “variants” to manufacture modified “vaccines” & that these would kill far more people than first gen vaccines (which I reasoned couldn’t be safe, though I grossly underestimated their toxicity). I expected coordinated fear porn about risks from the variants, with the actual lethality coming from the variant vaccines. But they’ve not even bothered to lie exuberantly about omicron. Even allowed it to be reported as common cold like. I think that’s deliberate, now. Desmet said that the more things don’t make sense, the easier it is to force distance between the adherents & the non-compliant. Those adhering to narrative & instructions despite the ludicrously bad fit of facts to the required measures forces them to stop thinking & just do what they’re told. It’s a form of deliberate disorientation. It’s working, too.
I also hadn’t thought far down the road to see the possibility of endless crisis & open-ended injections, which now looks likely (Australia ordering enough doses for ten more each).
How about they ramp up the all-causes mortality by just a little each cycle? Then there’d never be an overwhelmingly large pile of bodies. Instead, it’ll normalise the death rates to the point that they won’t be asked about it & there’ll be no watershed event to point to.
Either way, totalitarianism, total control, an iron will to require everyone to be injected or else be excluded. They’re doing this excluding in a series of steps, so each person is forced repeatedly to choose between an immediately bad option & a worse one. If faced with house arrest indefinitely or vaccination, how many even of us will say no? Or bankruptcy vs vaccination? Or internment vs vaccination? Or being physically threaten by your terrified neighbours vs vaccination?
It’s a ghastly prospect. I already know I’d choose death, gladly, if I found myself on that treadmill because I’d have no wish to survive in such a world.
But back to resistance & the Delingpole interview. The one thing that stands out much more starkly now than 14mo ago is this: the permanent end to liberal democracy is when VaxPass is in place & normalised by enough frightened people that no amount of protest & non-cooperation could throw it off.
We’re two minutes to midnight almost everywhere but in the USA & some states already look close to that turning point.
They might be the exception to my general rule of non-removeability, because of the unique circumstances. The individual states can have completely different policies so those not willing to succumb can fill their car & drive to a state which doesn’t use Vaxpass.
The obvious concern is that the perpetrators presumably modelled this outcome & have developed tools for taking over such states, one at a time.
The best way to stop that is to explicitly warn the people that this is what you expect to happen.
I hope that gets accomplished. I’ve communicated this to my American colleagues.
Interesting you should should say that about Catherine as I think of you two as the most prescient, clarifying voices in this war against the Biggest Lie, and it was your “Planet Lockdown” interviews that helped me understand the mechanisms behind the manipulations I acutely sensed from the outset but hadn’t yet fully contextualized.
I look forward to listening to the UK Column event. I have been impressed by their reporting, and it looks like a phenomenal lineup of speakers.
Thank you I will check this out! Catherine Austin Fitts is a key figure for sure, as are you! Apologies for misconstruing the significance of any changing opinions in the past 14 months. I listen to so much I may have missed something. I just remember thinking as I listened that it was before the actual vaccine rollout and I have heard you mention here and elsewhere since then that you believe it is part of a depopulation agenda and I wondered if there was anything specific that got you to this conclusion. Perhaps like many of us it's just a sum total of everything going on--there is no explanation that fits better. Another commenter here compared it to asking a fish to describe the water he is swimming in. It is just all around, there's no specificity. In any case you were for sure an early signaler and I wish that more had been paying attention! Looking forward to listening to more of what you have to say. Thank you for speaking up.
No, yours is a good question. Part of the reason I’ve not done many new videos is that we’re on a glide path almost as described (at least in my own mind). Things are proceeding in a horribly predictable manner. I so much wish they weren’t!
Oh it's bad alright. And the US isn't even in the dire straights we are in here in Europe with our digital system all ready to go and all too easily coupled with our amazing digital banking infrastructure. We're super fucked. And the resistance is underpowered exactly because we have brainwashed citizens willing to inform on their friends and neighbors. There are numerous job vacancies not only for the QR code scanners at restaurants, theaters and department stores, no, there are also perfectly public advertisements for "mystery guests" who arrive in plain clothes and inform on business owners who do not scan all guests. It's truly horrific. There are no options for people who don't want to discriminate except to close their business. They are targeting teens and young adults to do this because they are cheap labor and not mature enough to realize what the heck they are participating in. Many have bought into the system because at their age they have no choice. There is no life for them without a QR code. The next generation will not save us or indeed themselves.
agreed.
in the US, the people are starting to win.
in europe, too many are too accustomed to massive state interventions and to being subjects and not citizens.
vaxxpass etc is taking hold and despite the protests, they just keep pushing.
the problem is that "march on sunday work on monday" does not work. it does not put real pressure on the governments.
to do that requires sustained withdrawals and strikes. you have to bring the world to a stop.
fail to do so and this new normal of permission based subjugation will be the future and this health vector is just the start. this is the thin end of a very nasty wedge.
i fear for europe. they always fall for this stuff. happened in the 30's, happening now. been in the works since the days of bismark.
The left has a saying about being a wrench thrown into the cogs. It's not enough to protest. You have to seriously gum up the works.
Absolutely agree. And I wish I had seen it sooner. We left the US a few years ago having decided that the future for our kids would be brighter in Europe. Never imagined this would happen. Now the question is do we give up and move back to the states or fight where we are? Neither route is an easy one. We are relatively financially independent, but how long will that last? Other than holding out for better days we are sadly not in a position to apply any real leverage, though we wholeheartedly support the few who are. I am hopeful the dock workers might manage it. I do exert pressure at school where I can, but the little victories are almost pathetic compared to what's coming.
Get out while the getting is good.
Do what is the absolute best for your family. I'd move to Texas in a heartbeat if I could.
What is preventing you if I may ask?
As I said in a different reply to you I'm in Latvia(EU) and I need to get a Green Card via the lottery + I need to be vaccinated to get in...
Return to the US.
Return to a "shall issue" state in the US, that is.
Can you get to Poland?
I don't actually know. It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. We would be all alone and don't speak the language or know the culture. I'd rather move back to the USA--most family is in Utah, so not the worst option. Better than the communist state of Hawaii which is where I grew up! Never going back there.
Come back to the USA, we need more people here who are willing to say what they think and share the information.
The US has more of us than anywhere it feels like! We need more everywhere! But it's nice to feel wanted.
I know Poland has been making noise against EU, but can you please name reasons why you suggest Poland?
We're in Latvia and considering our best destination to bail to.
Give us a rundown of covid crap in Latvia. I have only read about Lithuania in that depressing twitter thread. It sounds horrific.
The biggest fuckery is that if you remain unvaccinated you literally cannot earn a living officially here. Only remote work for unvaccinated and the vaccinated need to be tested twice a week lol.
On the paper it maybe looks good. You could find a remote only work - yeah right...
You can't even work in the forestry industry alone in the woods - need a vaccine.
You can't go hunting without being vaccinated...
Anyway - no work for the unvaccinated. I'd say that's a check mate right there.
Everything else is minor shit like not being able to shop in the big grocery stores. Who cares if you can't earn the money to buy groceries with anyway, right?! bhahahaha
It was recommended in this thread: https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/talking-conspiracy-theorist-heads/comments
CJ Hopkins may try to get there …
Poland is introducing mandatory vaccinations to healthcare workers, so it's gone as well.. It's going to go down the same route as every other country in EU...
Oh no 😬 It’s like my fairy tale (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/the-vapor-the-hot-hat-and-the-witches)—nowhere left to escape to …
"Page not found".
I'll say it here. I read some of the articles you've written.
Thank you for putting the time in to write them.
I don't share your hopes that we the people will win, but I appreciate the work you've put into creating your articles/essays.
This is why I think running might be useless. Especially within the EU--notice that countries with independent currencies are holding out longer, but even Sweden is introducing vax passes finally. I had friends who were on the point of moving there and they've scraped those plans now. It's absolutely being done in increments so people don't cut and run. Very sinister. But while the US is enjoying a few victories I think it might be the same thing--turn down the heat for a minute and then turn it way back up later on. As the bad cat has explained, the US military is being hollowed out which is scary as hell and the Russia crap is also concerning. But sometimes I would rather we all just die in a big ball of fire--nuclear holocaust or asteroid, whatever--so I wouldn't have to try to keep surviving. I find it all very tiresome.
I'm seriously looking into moving to Russia as an option. Moscow is 12 hours away from where I'm at.
Russia is always being painted as the bad guy. You should reevaluate everything you've been fed about Russia since now you know how EU and USA really are.
I get your point about moving being useless. We're looking into getting cheap land with some trees on it and an old house. At least that way we're out of the cities and can raise chickens or whatever and heat the home with firewood etc.
Have to go through Mexico since you can’t fly to the US w/o a vaxxport.
Luckily we are US citizens so only have to test negative so far! But my despicable congressman is one of the sponsors for the vaxxed only flights bill.
Everything hinges on the US at this point. If it can hang on during this globalist assault, there is still hope. However, this defiance may lead to more deadly pandemics.
Sadly agree. WE HAVE GOT TO HOLD THE LINE, NO MATTER WHAT.
I'm not as hopeful about the US as I once was. But if it's going to be anyone it's going to be them or Britain again. Fingers crossed.
I'm more hopeful about the US than I was, with a few states leading the way. They weren't able to purchase every judge in the world & 3 legal victories in a row is a good start.
agreed, the people are starting to win in the US. large company after large company is cncl their vacc mandates... massive Silicon Valley corps (Oracle), massive hospital operators (HCA), key industry leaders dropping it... they must have seen that it was going to eat at their business and bottom line else would not have gone this route; but, they must have also felt the freedom to go this way without disproportionate shame, and certainly knowing the WH isn't going to be able to touch them based on recent court interventions/decisions. progress! take a bow, gato, take a bow... you and others... one day, we look back on heroes... McCullough, Gato, Berenson, front line docs all over the country, should be fun... praying for other places where this progress hasn't become widespread... press on, friends, press on...
have to wonder if part of the solution for Europe is more Brexits. Recognizing Boris is part of the problem in Britain, and so leaving the EU isn't a cure-all, but it can only help to get the power back as close as possible to the people - so you don't end up with subjects vs citizens. more countries leave the EU, less concentrated power in Brussels, less ease of forcing behavior based on e-banking power, the power has to be ceded back to the people... the safety in having States in the US has been no small thing. states have powers, a lot of them, and many have asserted these powers and become models of freedom. Govs Lee, DeSantis, others have paved the way... lastly, everyone who resists, who does not blindly follow those who have not earned their post through honest leadership, is also a hero - everyone. we will look back on this as a turning point... and celebrate all of you individuals, the ones without platform, the unknown names, and toast to your individual decisions... press on...
Indeed. Stop the Engine of the World.
people are starting to win... wait a few months and we'll see how this ages.
Since I choose not to engage with the madness, I’ve never had to present a QR code, but I’ve been tempted to put this image on my phone in case the need ever arises:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qr+code+middle+finger&atb=v139-1&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fteepublic%2Fimage%2Fprivate%2Fs--McYvRsWq--%2Ft_Preview%2Fb_rgb%3Ac62b29%2Cc_limit%2Cf_auto%2Ch_630%2Cq_90%2Cw_630%2Fv1485891252%2Fproduction%2Fdesigns%2F1165826_1.jpg
Oh yes! I love that one! It was a good code for some to subtly gain access without actually taking the poison, but the mystery guests and ridiculous fines have really cracked down on business owners ability to fly under the radar. It's so tragic. I gave up and we just party at home nowadays. So you do have the digital system in PNW then? That sucks!!!
I actually don’t know since I never go to restaurants or anyplace that would require them 😆
I read an article sometime within the pandemic era about "crowdsourced totalitarianism" that reflected on similar. Of course as Peterson notes, totalitarianism, when it manifests in a regime, does so at every level of society, perpetuated by neighbors and the chattel as much as or more than the literal state actors. That reality is not new. What is new is the digital component and what the muddying of "real." Unprecedented ability to track dissidents.
And yet the same thing giving them their new tools of control frustrates their information monopoly. Mischievous and motivated cats can use decentralized new media to get up on the mantle and knock the snowglobes off their ledge and poop in the stockings.
It's no wonder there is a mad dash toward more censorship by big tech "partners" of government. Any authoritarian worth his salt knows the emerging marketplace of ideas will be the end of the controlled narrative within a generation or two. That's bad news if you want to maintain controlled people.
"knock the snowglobes off their ledge and poop in the stockings!" Awesome.
“it’s the record club from hell”
This I can relate to.
And if it wasn’t so frightening, it’d be funny.
But folks, this is it.
RESIST.
Sobriety is resistance! - all of it! - starting, (I hope you can) with psycho prescription meds - and on to booze, pot, pain meds (I hope you can) - 0 meds is the goal.
Fauci is ratcheting up his "game" - the quintessential bureaucrat imho. But what do we expect? For him to say, "well, it looks like the vaccines work for a small age cohort with comorbidities that were likely to die within 6 to 12 months...because we looked at the charts and realized deaths above expected are at the highest point ever even with mass vaccinations of the most vulnerable" - yeah, that won't happen.
My older sister just retired from NIH. She just got her third vaxx there and joined a "study" (I think you get paid, oh goodie) of vaxxed people. My brother and sister in law, I would not visit them vaxxed or unvaxxed. They are leftist lefties and hysterically hateful toward me.
My daughters do not care. My oldest and her hubbs got the vaxx, but maybe that is good. They are both tubby. My younger daughter and her hubbs and three adorable babies are not vaxxed as we are not as well.
Monitor your health every day. My mom lived to 91 and my daddy just turned 98. He lived through WW2 in a nazi work camp after being picked up in a razzia. They were running out of healthy young men so they went to Rotterdam to snag a couple hundred boys. The stories my dad has told me over the years...... the stuff he ATE, and germy crap he had to wear, oh my gosh, it would make you sick. once a month the nazi bosses would make all of their pow guys (my dad included) completely undress and get a shower, or a bath in some water. The told the guys that they would get clean clothes but they were not clean, they were clothes taken off dead people probably. MY DADDY LAUGHS ABOUT THIS! but he was 18.
Anyway, the human race is declining in reason and rationality. we need to stop listening to these leaders that are addicted to themselves and their own "ideas"
Oh I meant to say.... eat properly, force yourself to do some exercise, don't be a slob (I tell myself this every day haha) drink loads (compare it to flushing away, right) get enough sleep, breathe in fresh air. Try as hard as you can to not consume too much junky food
Many seem to think that because this is about “public health” and the targets aren’t a race or religion, that it’s somehow different. The tactics being used are the same ; the target this time are “the unvaxed” but what that really means is, “the uncooperative” . They are trying to rid society of people who go against government. Plain and simple. They’rejust brainwashing the people into thinking it’s about public health, and it’s right and just… but anyone who has lived through similar or really studied history knows this is EXACTLY how they got society at large to turn a blind eye, accept, and even support segregation, alienation, and then genocide. Step. By. Step. And now we have wonderful social media full of useful idiots parroting these divisive messages, which just further their agenda to divide us and build an acceptable level of disgust and hatred against a group of people.
You're right. But all of this is being done on purpose. Every movie about tyranny and persecution, every history lesson in school, all of the recent politics about fairness and equality and human rights... it was all setting everyone up for this moment. People are now being encouraged to persecute and discriminate for no reason whatsoever, not even for some superficial racial or cultural difference as in the past. People are literally taking glee in persecuting their own flesh and blood brothers and sisters. Not only do they not see anything wrong with it, but they actually have great enthusiasm for it. Yay for me, I did something terrible to an innocent person simply because I was told to do it. Every lying hypocrite is being exposed and each and every one will be held to account (and not by men). It's all coming down to the wire now.
I recommend anyone to read a book called The Gulag Archipelago. When they arrested people on false charges, the ones being arrested did not protest or object or fight back. They went willingly. Look at all the footage on twitter from Austria, Australia and Germany or UK where people get fucked over or arrested for not wearing a fucking mask. A FUCKING MASK.
They don't fight back, because it's not a hill to die on.
I say fuck them up by any means neccessary. At least carry a knife if you don't have a gun.
My stance is this and I mean it: I'm not getting arrested for silly shit or anything for that matter. I'm not a criminal and apart from jaywalking and breaking the speed limits while driving I'm nice.
No gun, but at least I have a knife. I know what I'm willing to do when somebody, and I don't care if he has a police vest on, attacks me or threatens me in any way.
Do you know what you're willing to do?
Because if you don't, I bet dollars to donuts that you're going to be one of those people that don't do nothing when push comes to shove. The thinking has to be done beforehand. When the game is on, it's too late to think about anything. It's go time and if you have not thought it out before, you're fucked.
Indeed, “The Gulag Archipelago” is required reading these days. As I quote in my second essay (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/covid-is-over-if-you-want-it):
“The majority sit quietly and dare to hope.… At what exact point, then, should one resist? When one’s belt is taken away? When one is ordered to face into a corner? When one crosses the threshold of one’s home? An arrest consists of a series of incidental irrelevancies, of a multitude of things that do not matter, and there seems no point in arguing about any one of them individually—especially at a time when the thoughts of the person arrested are wrapped tightly about the big question: ‘What for?’—and yet all these incidental irrelevancies taken together implacably constitute the arrest.”
I am all about the passage that talks about not waiting at home to get arrested, but ganging up on the police!!
Love that one, too:
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? … We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Have you honestly thought deeply about what you're willing to do if they come for you?
It's very tough I'll grant you that, because you're innocent and as the author of that quote said in the same book(and I paraphrase): you think it's a misunderstanding that's going to be sorted out. So a rational person who has not thought it through beforehand would not think or act like his life is being taken away at that moment of arrest.
Evidently, you haven’t read much of my work. As I start “Letter to a Colluder” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling):
“I’m willing to die to defend my liberty. Are you willing to die to take my liberty?”
This is fantastic advice! I grew up with the directive to make decisions on your choices before you went out and had those choices tested: ie, don't drink and do drugs at a party. It holds true now more than ever. We have drawn our line in the sand and we have armed ourselves with the weapons allowed to us here just in case. Because it's either that or cut and run somewhere and that doesn't help anyone but us.
We're looking into moving from EU, but apart from Mexico and maybe some parts of Africa, there's really not much choice. And I'm not even talking about earning a living, just a place to bail from this. I'm not going to act like I want to help someone. Most people deserve what's coming, because they are cowards through and through.
Everyone just needs to brush away the thin smoke screen of AUTHORITY from their eyes and stop believing in it all together. We've been raised to respect and comply with authority since childhood.
The person in a uniform is just that - another person. If you know in your heart of hearts it's wrong what he's doing then that's your que.
We're all pretty much dead anyway, so at least don't go as cowards.
P.S. I recall something else from the Gulag Archipelago book. Its author said that the best people did not survive the camp. Implying that they did not submit and stood up.
All I can say is, you have to be alert at all times and prepared mentally and physically. Find strength and courage in rightness of what you're doing. Know that you've not disobeyed the law, even though they say this or that is law. You have a brain to know when a law is a law and when a law is nonsense and those imposing it on you are your enemies and mean you nothing but harm.
It's all very depressing, but hey... try to be the one who stands up and at least, maybe, if someone sees you standing up, they'll think about it too. But don't do it for other people. Do it for you and your family.
That's what I am afraid of as well--the tyranny will just follow us. So maybe best to take a stand. I understand what you are saying with look out for number one and I agree to a point, but we cannot do this alone. As much as the sheeple deserve what's coming, if we manage to save them from themselves it will ultimately help my family as well. My daughter has joined the maskless resistance at school and I hope we may get some people thinking!
Where in Europe are you? I can't stop thinking about the German father who killed his wife and children before killing himself because they were caught with a fake vax pass. Part of me sympathizes, though when I talk about it with my hubby as the ultimate fuck you, he calls me crazy so.... we might end up as slaves and try to make the best of it while we can. I guess I might end up a camp survivor, while secretly wishing I was one of the best people. Still, Victor Frankl did learn a lot and was able to pass that wisdom on. We shall see. Thanks for the advice and encouragement. It means a lot.
Oh yeah, it was Victor Frankl who said what I ascribed to Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
We're in Latvia. Working is forbidden to the typhus carriers.
Read "How I Found Freedom In an Unfree World" by Harry Browne. It's worth its weight in Bitcoin, if Bitcoin had a weight... =]
You can't change anyones mind. They either do it themselves or they don't. And you certainly can't save any of them.
You have to spend all of your resources(time, energy, money, ...) on yourself and your family. Personal responsibility not the nonsense about societal responsibility.
Yeah, the social pressure must have been awful in this German fathers mind. Then again, I look at these people as weak people.
This is going to be heavy...
What I contemplate on my walks alone is, whether I could take my girlfriends and our sons lives to spare them the camps and the torture at the last moment when it's obvious it's inevitable. I doubt that I could...
We're trying to figure out a 6 month SHTF plan of living/survival, then a 12 month, 24 month, 36 month one. They all build on each other.
We had no electricity in our apartment this morning for half a day. Couldnt even find the fucking candles for a while to have some light apart from the phones flashlight, let alone water stored and plan for what to do if we would have to bail...
I'm a cheery optimist, but all of the things that are happening around the world are gloomy as fuck....
Selco Begovic shares some pretty potent lessons about what it takes to survive in this memoir: “SHTF Survival Stories: Memories from the Balkan War” (https://smile.amazon.com/SHTF-Survival-Stories-Memories-Balkan/dp/B084DGF9QD/).
Thank you.
Started reading it yesterday. What a good and timeley book.
Listening to audio book now. This past 18 months had been an eye opener for me. I think your advice to think through what you would do in advance is so important. I feel so much better when I do concrete things to protect my family from tyranny.
The boiling frog analogy is quite fitting. Put the frog in a pot and slowly warm the water. The frog doesn't make any attempt to escape and for a while even feels more comfortable. Then the water gets warmer and warmer until it is hot and the frog boils.
This incrementalism has been used before in recent years. It was used to get supporters of peace to support wars. It was used to get supporters of freedom of the press to support censorship. It's shaping. The master planners define a goal and then plan how to get people to move in that direction in increments.
As I say in “Letter to a Tyrant” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-tyrant):
“You have underestimated the resilience of the human spirit. You have boiled the pot too quickly. You have forgotten what survivors do when backed into a corner.”
No I don't think you're a hopeless dreamer. I don't think you can keep all the people down all the time. Without some serious violence at some point. Until they kill all of us who are willing to fight they will not win. They still might win and humanity will become slaves, but I have to believe that it won't be forever.
They have underestimated nothing. You're a hopeless dreamer.
Go quietly into your dreamless sleep, then. I'm going to fight.
It's not about fighting vs not fighting. I'm just not going to live in a delusion that these people that have the power to pull the things off that they have pulled off will be defeated by protests or whatever we do.
Seeing it all for what it is does not mean I'm going to take it with a smile on my face lying down..
Protests, no. "Whatever we do" is pretty broad, though.
Certainly if we do nothing, they will prevail.
30% will always be afraid, obey, collaborate.
25-30% will never obey.
We must fight to sway the 30 - 40% who are too complacent to not obey when pushed a little in their comfortable ways of life.
1 hour that passed almost too quickly describing what I felt from the start of the plandemic but couldn't articulate so well as Dr. Mattias Desmet :

He is like a messiah showing us the way! Can't get enough of him! Got turned onto him early thanks to being able to understand Flemish, so glad he is getting more exposure. Take heart, the witch hunters never win forever.
I love Desmet too. His Mass Formation explanation hits the nail on the head. But he's wrong with some of his conclusions. Totalitarianism does not always destroy itself. In most cases, it has to be destroyed, and usually with external influence. Just speaking out is not going to resolve this. Even Substack is not safe. I can see a future where Google buys them out and axes all the pages we love. The problem is so systemic the only solution is to burn the current system down.I know no one wants to hear this and many people are going to have to face reality soon.
Yes I worry we are walking into a generation of unavoidable slavery. And probably you are right that the only solution is slash and burn and then build back better our way. But how?! I am not a general in this war. I am a foot soldier. I try not to let it get me down, but I have zero skills to push along what we need to do. All I got is an ability to see what we don't want to do. At least I am willing to stand here and hold the line.
Great point. I happened to believe ideology is at the center of this. Collectivism vs individualism. Individualists, like cats, are not good at collectivising about anything. We don't even really like each other. But we do have a sense of self-preservation, so many have gotten the jab purely for that reason, and care nothing about what others are doing. These people have ideology and don't know it, so defending it isn't something they've ever thought about. These are the folks who'll eventually wake up and come to our side. Having the media 100% on the side of collectivism is a huge advantage for them. Collectivists will always be better at unifying, syncrenizing, strategizing and mobilizing, but if more individualists knew we share an ideology that is under attack and must be defended at all cost, I think we could even the battlefield.
To be clear, purhaps a majority of collectivists are not consciously aware of their ideology either. But they feel a natural attraction to collectivism and are easily pulled in that direction. To them, this really is about "saving lives". When really smart people become outlandishly stupid, it's a surefire sign they have ulterior motives, either conscious or subconscious.
"They" have done a good job with those who need to be told what to do, instead of thinking for themselves. In my Twitter travels I see so many "you not getting the vaccine and boosters are what the problem is!" When I counter I get muted/blocked. They want to hear nothing else- and they think they are doing the "right" thing. Now, we are both waiting for the big question from son/step son and wife about our visit in Jan. to see grandson. We hate to lie to them, but rationalize that maybe they NEED being lied to if they believe we should be "boosted" before interaction with a 7 month old.
Lying is morally acceptable at this point. The shifting sands of truth are making us all fall on our asses and sometimes I don't even care anymore.
It is absolutely acceptable. As an extreme example, a citizen lying to the SS about whether there were Jews in her attic was absolutely the right, moral thing to do. Morality is always, always of a piece with the context. It is also, of necessity, an individual determination. No one can tell another what is moral or immoral. So, my first sentence is obviously only for myself.
When both of my parents had dementia at the same time, the hardest thing was realizing that I couldn't use logic with them. My only option was to lie, which was hard for me. If I was in your position, I wouldn't hesitate to lie, because when it comes to the vax, they're no different than my dementia-addled parents.
good analogy. My 95 year old mom with dementia has more common sense about vaccines than these 30-somethings!
A couple of things about Tony F’s most recent brainiac idea. Simply ignore or simply choose not to participate. Remember this is the hombre who said do not wear a mask, then it was you must wear a mask, then it was wear two masks. How can anyone take him seriously?
