I lost a job early in the pandemic as a marketer because I, as a copywriter and editor, replaced every instance in marketing copy of "due to COVID" or "due to the COVID-19 pandemic" with "due to lockdowns" or "due to government enforced business/school closures" and refused to stop doing so.
I then lost a ton of money on my freelance sidelines as nobody had the resources or reason to invest in B2B services for businesses that weren't allowed to be open and might never (and often didn't) come back.
Those were tiny things. There was so much in the intervening 18+ months: death threats, suicidal ideation, loss of friends, loss of relationships, community crumbling, local crime exploding, being peeled off the kitchen floor by my husband one night because literally moving my legs seemed a pointless exercise in existence that had been stolen from me, cutting police padlocks off of playgrounds in the middle of the night, so much drinking, so much smoking and quitting and smoking,
to say nothing of the things that happened to people that suffered ten times worse than me or to their younger children, and me seeing it and being powerless to stop them.
I am the angriest, most cynical, most hateful, most violent-hearted, most mistrustful, most anarchic I have ever been in my life at this point- the peak? the downward curve?- of this global disaster borne of a respiratory virus with a 99%+ survival rate.
I told my teenagers "Never forget who did this to you. When you are 30 years old, and interviewing a 50-year old, ask them about the pandemic. If they were all about lockdowns and masks, don't hire them."
Yes but we have to construct the questions in a way that exposes them without their knowledge or at least not until its too late. Believe me I'm working on this!
I actually learned this in interrogation*cough*interviewing classes.
Ask the person "what should we do to <person>."
"What should we do to people who refuse to engage in NPIs during a global pandemic even if evidence for their effectiveness is questionable?"
The people you're looking for will say what they've been saying to us: withhold medical care, take their jobs, take their rights, take their dignity, lock them up, kill them.
I prefer not to argue with people- ever- but when I get into a pointless "fight" with an idiot on the internet, a favorite way of mine to shut it down is to simply ask, "Ok. What do you think should be done to me?"
Every now and then, people take the bait and show the audience the monster they really are.
One of the first rules of good interviewing (or whatever you want to call it) is worth everyone, regardless of profession or background, learning:
Given the opportunity, unless they are a psychopath, people WANT to tell you who they really are and WANT to confess their sins.
If they ARE a psychopath, they want attention and arousal, which amounts to the same thing packaged differently.
Make people feel genuinely safe, that they have no risks or stakes in talking to you, and people will tell you they think (for example) that <X group> should be raped, murdered, and thrown in a burn pit if they believe you won't judge them for saying so.
I've been thinking about this since April 2020 when it became overwhelmingly, incontrovertibly obvious that the world was in a full-blown hysteria and that some day it will be embarrassing for anyone to claim they supported lockdowns and all the other NPIs. Concerned primarily of course with our fellow citizen more than pols who we have recorded evidence of their sociopathy.
No one will be hiring 50-year olds in 20 years. Whatever jobs haven't been taken by robots/AI will be done by extremely young and briefly healthy Chinese slaves.
Those of us who would be 50+ in 20 years will be alive if they mercifully sustain us with UBI, and long dead of starvation or euthanasia if they don't.
Sorry I'm so depressing this evening. It's my birthday and I realized I've never had less hope for the future than I do now.
It was fun until it got me canned. The funny thing about it was they could never come out and say the belief system or politics that was behind it. It was always this lame "now it's too long this way" or "it doesn't fit the tone of the sentence" and never explicitly "stop questioning the COVID narrative" until one day it was "you just can't follow instructions."
I'm happy that it led to me pivoting out of mass marketing. It was scummy and not good for me.
Even before that, I had very strong bright lines about what I would and wouldn't say that usually got past grumbling colleagues because nobody could beat my output. I refused to state explicitly false statements (especially nonsense about "health" drinks and "nutrition" products that "fight cancer" and "improve cognition").
Since substack only has the little heart for acknowledgment of a post, it seems trivial for the pain you’ve gone through. I hear you, you’re not alone, we are legion.
It's been important for me to remember- though it does nothing to abate my anger- that many multitudes have suffered worse. I don't have an adolescent child that has committed suicide out of despair. I don't have an elderly parent that I barred from seeing as they breathed their last. While I suffered financial hardship, I didn't lose a family business generations in the making or was reduced to homelessness through no choices of my own.
I don't have a child who will now be developmentally delayed or fucked out of a normal education or career who is STILL spending 8 hours a day suffocating in a mask.
It has been atrocities. It has been fucking war crimes.
Lined up against a wall or dangling from a rope. On my better days, I advocate for digging a big hole and pushing them all in. It's gonna have to be a really big hole.
There are times when I am angry at what they have done to us and times when I am terrified that they might succeed in their evil plans.
Hold onto the light. You are not alone. We are legion.

I fervently hope it does not come to this, but fear that it may.
The Bidenistas are doing exactly what leftists always do when they seize power: impose their totalitarian agenda and destroy the economy. They have destroyed every single society and economy they've ever controlled.
When the inflation, systemic economic disruptions and pain reach a certain point, they will be removed, one way or another.
The big question is if they can consolidate their power to the point that they *cannot* be removed peacefully before they destroy the economy.
They are going to try, but I don't think they will succeed. If they do, God help us all.
yep, thanks for describing my life. Fucking furious. California born/raised Gen X 1968 took early ret. from medical field, have second set teen kids fighting VAX school mandates by Jan. 2022., reading through blogs, supporting those who bring lawsuits, tweeting all the pro freedom, hoping for salvation and the end to this surreal current set of complete bullshit. Our lives have been stolen, we must be in some stage of the "End of times". I believe in God, I believe in the savior Jesus Christ. I know the truth, that in the very end..... we are saved, we will live on, for eternity/forever..... but this part is nearly intolerable.

1960. Early retired at 57 after success in a business venture. Fell seriously ill later same year. Six months later, post-surgery & stable on a drug regime, gave thanks to god that it seemed I wasn’t to die just yet. Had two happy years. Really, I was blessed. A grandson born to older daughter. Wow. We’d grown our own extended family! (wife & I were both from broken homes, so big, multigenerational gatherings happened only to other people).
I'm significantly younger than Motsumi and yourself, doc. I'm pleased to see that the earlier generations see it this way, too- I think we have fewer allies among the very young adults, so many of whom seem to already be perfect little authoritarians.
Hello, fellow Medusa!!! Yes, make them hurt as much as you were hurt. Do not let them pass by you unscathed. Fight. I, too, remember the nurses dancing on TikTok while I was barred from seeing patients in my own office "to slow the spread and please donate whatever PPE you have to the hospital" --huh, yeah, f*** off! as I re-wore the same paper/surgical mask every day and washed it with soap and water every night because I had 1 box left of like 8 masks and none were available for purchase until December 2020. Vaccines will end this, they said. Be a good girl and stand 6 ft apart they said. Well now I'm like a female Van Halen UNCHAINED--no mask, no more horse s***, I'm done done DONE. If anybody were to tell me to wear a mask I would say I'm a doctor, and BASED ON WHAT? A SENTENCE UTTERED BY FAUXCHI ON MSNBC??? I THINK NOT!!!!!Not one has said one word and every single patient I see has PTSD and horrors as well from the lockdowns. And I'm in free Florida, where the surgeon general just last week Dr Ladapo was told by a hysterical female DEMOCRAT state rep w/breast cancer to mask in her presence "because she's immunosuppressed". uh, no you're not, if you're getting XRT and working you can speak without fear of getting covid. the mask doesn't protect you. WHEN YOU ARE IMMUNOSUPPRESSED YOU CAN DIE FROM THE COCCIDIMYOCOSES IN THE SOIL, ASPERGILLUS IN THE SOIL, ETC. I AM SO SICK OF THIS KABUKI THEATER WE ALL MUST MASSIVELY NONCOMPLY IMMEDIATELY.
"Immunosuppressed" is the new fashionable victim class: the medically-accredited weakness we are now supposed to celebrate without evidence or diagnosis.
These middle class chicas running around calling themselves immunosuppressed because they've got asthma or are "sensitive" or because "my anxiety affects my immune system" wouldn't want to be part of the VANISHING MINORITY of human beings that are actually so systemically immunosuppressed that they can't receive normal vaccines, radio, or chemo.
REAL immunosuppression is normal air shared by other humans can kill you without precautions. Grow the fuck up. We get it, you're unremarkable and dull and lost most of the friends you made in high school and notice that we celebrate weakness now, and see a way to make yourself interesting and worthy of demanding attention again.
I tell everyone I was simply vaccine hesitant in May/June. I'm on anarchy's doorstep now.
And I question EVERYTHING. Climate change? Check, another power grab ploy. Pollution is absolutely real, but lets focus on our water, soil, food, and medications where the actual pollution occurs and is harder to clean than buying energy from a dirty country and claiming you're carbon neutral.
Actually, not to nit pick, put it is now a Climate "Crisis", it needs to be a "Crisis" because the Covid "Crisis" is waning, and we need a crisis for the 2024 election. Ah, but what about the ADE from the vaccines? Well, that horror show will arrive just in time for another election season, and then it will be some kind of "Health" crisis, and the overlords will make sure that all the current political actors will have retired (or expired) to make way for the new cast (that will have no connection to today's Covid Circus), thus the perfect saviors. I am sure there are dozens of more crisis' in the wings, just waiting for their queue to arrive on the political world stage.
"...the overlords will make sure that all the current political actors will have retired (or expired) to make way for the new cast (that will have no connection to today's Covid Circus), thus the perfect saviors...."
LOVED the playground padlock-cutting story! What I find astonishing is, as more and more evidence of extreme murderous malfeasance keeps getting added to the pile already collected and sitting in plain sight, how are these people still walking around healthy? I guess they are still protected by the fog of war helpfully generated by the dissembling old school media machine. I am waiting for the ADE and other terrible conditions to really start biting to the point that the public catches on that they have been duped and made war on by an enemy that has been killing them softly while pretending to help them “stay safe.” Until then I like to watch the video about the end of the Romanian? tyrant Cecseuque? One day he was in a stadium giving a speech. The crowd was roaring. He thinks they are cheering for him at first, then a horrified look comes across his face as he realizes that they are actually screaming “Let’s go Brandon!” A few days later he is in front of a firing squad. An army officer had been assigned to guard him before his execution. His orders were to make sure he shot him if anyone tried to rescue him before the execution. The officer describes being part of the firing squad, and says, “my first shots hit him in the legs…”
I went looking on DuckDuckGo to see if I could find it but was not able to find it. I did find a lot of very good material, including a great two-part series called “Doctor Horribilis” which focused on Elena Ceaucescu, NC’s wife. She had a grade school education but wanted to style herself as a scientist so it was arranged to get her a doctorate in Chemistry. Other people’s research was published in her name etc. She was declared to be the head of the Romanian Scientific Reseach Institute and wanted to be addressed as “Scientist-Doctor-Professor” or something like that LOL! None of the actual scientists dared to say anything because “heads would have rolled.” Part one is over an hour in length. It is a fascinating documentary of how power works when it is not tethered to a respect for the truth. I did not have time to watch it all but it is packed with interviews with people describing their experiences. That clip with the guard might be on there somewhere. I’d link it but don’t know how yet.
Here's a bright spot in my story: I was FAR from the only one doing padlock-cutting in my (former) home city. There was one community where a group of parents did it basically every single day, dragging the local precinct into an endless arms race of more and bigger chains, which all invariably got cut- always in the dead of night, always with no witnesses, and the cops couldn't stake out a playground, because they barely had the resources to deal with REAL crime.
Also, if you haven't seen it or submitted it yet - please consider writing a comment to the FDA in advance of the meeting to decide EUA for children 5-11 years old. They are taking comments for a few more days. Here's a video showing you how to submit and a link to the form to do so. Because other countries will be looking toward our FDA to approve the vaccine in their countries your words are extra powerful.
winter 2021 is gonna be much worse than winter 2020. On top of restrictions, masks, possibly some localized lockdowns, we will have vaccine mandates dystopia, vaccine passports and supply chain disruptions. I'm only waiting for interest rates to go up and economic recovery to stagnate and the cycle is complete. I hope that's gonna be enough to wake up more people and maybe we can expect a more hopeful spring 2022 ?
I'm not so sure about more lockdowns, particularly. Where I live (Quebec, and you too perhaps?) we have the injection passports and there's hardly any visible resistance, but mandatory injections for health care workers have been pushed back a month because of a very real possibility of systematic collapse as more than just the non-injected workers are threatening to walk. The lawless junta running this province has perhaps gone too far even for this docile population.
People are coming back into the office. People are acting more normal. No one even wants to TALK about lockdowns (much less the obscene curfew). People are again making future plans as if they have an actual right to do so. I personally hope that QC may phase out the injection passport in a few months considering it clearly accomplishes nothing other than reducing customers at struggling businesses; it's pandemic theatre to make pro-injection fanatics feel righteous, but it's not carrying it's own weight. These internal passports have been a love affair of just a few months for every dumbass country that's had one so far.
And the supply chain disruptions, how does that do anything but incriminate those in power who brought us lockdown? I think we underestimate how quickly, and hypocritically, our lockdown loving fellow citizens will turn on those that did what the public supposedly wanted, according to various polls that never seemed particularly believable. I think, maybe, the tide is turning already.
Yes I am in Quebec. You might be right. I have the feeling that most people know it's bullshit by now but still follow the rules (at least masks and vaxx pass). Most people seem lifeless however. We've been beaten up by the government for so long ... The tides are turning but slowly. Nobody want another curfew for sure but I'm afraid the vaxx pass will stay for while, until at least spring 2022.
(my comment about lockdowns was directed to other places in the world, they might have more...)
I agree, lockdowns are more of a risk in places that have not already played out that tactic. No one who’s had our level of confinement wants to relive it.
For the passport you’re probably right. My optimism comes from the fact that it’s the one policy I’ve been able to opt out of, and I’m not the only injected person who is not playing their statist game. I’m inviting more people over instead of eating out. And I frequent a place I know that doesn’t check the passport. While pro-injection fanatics chuckle on their couches about how it’s the antivax that have to stay home this time, people without the passport are out having fun in all sorts of ways. We’ll survive the winter without access to theaters, although the theaters might not survive without us.
How long can we keep in place a punitive and divisive policy whose supposed efficacy is, in the best case, weakened daily by diminishing returns? Quebec will show us.
Only part of you? It's right out in the open. You can buy the Klaus Schwab book on Amazon, for heaven's sake. We're well past the point where the incompetence can veil the malice. Those on top know exactly what they're doing, and the massive pyramid of little Eichmanns under them were much more than passively complicit.
If we were listening to the science, we should have been done with covid as soon as the first antibody tests came back showing that we had already been living with the virus for months.
True but who would feed the hungry vaccine peddlers and boost the net worth of the billionaires if we didn't? We might be awash in freedoms and critical thinking by now & who benefits from that! *smirk*
More than any time in my life, I'm connecting with several likeminded folks. I'm a Naturopathic doc practicing primary care medicine in the state of Washington. 1/3 to 1/2 of my patients daily are upset about this and can't help but discuss it.
The entire time of the pandemic, when folks say things like "the pandemic has really messed up my business," or "the pandemic has really ruined my social lie," - I correct them. Most sort of do a double take and agree. A few have become silent or just had no noteworthy response.
I think we're all going to need to stay tight together during this madness. I see so many of us even desperate to know we're not crazy, that we're not alone. The constant propaganda/gas-lighting is having an ongoing toll on us all.
I'm grateful to have found the official Gato community and regularly send links out to spread the awesome articulate grounded blogs/essays (with some good humor thrown in) of El Gato weekly. I consider this group another ally in keeping my sanity and even encouraging my "misinformation" addicted brain.
Some journalists should contact the authors of the cited pandemic guidelines document for some interviews. Perhaps start with Jennifer Nuzzo whose contact information is provided on the last page. jnuzzo@upmc-biosecurity.org
It's rare, but there are still a handful still doing good journalistic work. El Gato being among them. Matt Taibbi is one of them and he just posted today his review of Ben Schreckinger's book about the craziness and corruption of the Biden family.
Bari Weiss (former NYT editor - kicked out by the lying left) is very good. I don't always agree with her, but she values and pursues truth. She is also using substack to essentially build a journalism outlet with like minded journalists (who actually, you know, do journalism).
From a very different angle, World Magazine. It is explicitly conservative Christian, but run in part by former journalism professor Marvin Olasky, who is committed to high and honest journalistic standards. What it often lacks in breadth, it makes up for in depth.
I'm re-reading 1984 - it's a refreshing break from the tyranny of our actual world and MSM news.
I found this passage especially unnerving:
"The economy of many countries was allowed to stagnate, land went out of cultivation, capital equipment was not added to, great blocks of the population were prevented from working and kept half alive by State charity. But this, too, entailed military weakness, and since the privations it inflicted were obviously unnecessary, it made opposition inevitable. The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they need not be distributed."
Spot on, their heels are dug in bc one lie begets another. But we know the truth and more truths will come to light. It is what we do with all this that has to be thought about and what next steps there will be. Strength in numbers. How few govt officials, health officials there are compared to our numbers. Take their lies and shove them right where the kitty cat's tail is!
I make sure to correct anyone I hear say covid caused this or that, even if they're a stranger. I've gotten into a few heated arguments from doing so, but this needs to be impressed upon everyone repeatedly. As a very smart gummi said a while back, "Covid-10 was always going to take its pound of flesh". Unfortunately the idiots in charge decided to add a couple hundred pounds on top of it.
They've been talking about it for a while. I read that article back in July in the WSJ. There's no science behind mass vaccination for kids, none. Worse the article mention teens and kids. Now we are talking about 5-12. Key point of the article :
"Our report found a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia. If that trend holds, it has significant implications for healthy kids and whether they need two vaccine doses. "
Of course, we all know looking at basic covid data that healthy kids do not die from covid and barely have symptoms. Unfortunately I cannot share WSJ article with whoever I know because of "Wall Street" in the name. They should read those articles instead of the typical MSN trash though.
Sadly, many white Karens will be at the front of the line dragging little double-masked Jayden and Emily along for their shots. I still see young kids masked outdoors. It's child abuse, plain and simple.
I venture to say that those who complied and continue to comply with unlawful mandates allow this to be done to us. Without compliance, this would not have happened.
Sun Tzu said: We come now to the question of encamping the army, and observing signs of the enemy. Pass quickly over mountains, and keep in the neighborhood of valleys.
I lost a job early in the pandemic as a marketer because I, as a copywriter and editor, replaced every instance in marketing copy of "due to COVID" or "due to the COVID-19 pandemic" with "due to lockdowns" or "due to government enforced business/school closures" and refused to stop doing so.

There was so much in the intervening 18+ months: death threats, suicidal ideation, loss of friends, loss of relationships, community crumbling, local crime exploding, being peeled off the kitchen floor by my husband one night because literally moving my legs seemed a pointless exercise in existence that had been stolen from me, cutting police padlocks off of playgrounds in the middle of the night, so much drinking, so much smoking and quitting and smoking,
to say nothing of the things that happened to people that suffered ten times worse than me or to their younger children, and me seeing it and being powerless to stop them.
I am the angriest, most cynical, most hateful, most violent-hearted, most mistrustful, most anarchic I have ever been in my life at this point- the peak? the downward curve?- of this global disaster borne of a respiratory virus with a 99%+ survival rate.
COVID didn't do it. They did.
Make them pay.
MAKE THEM HURT.
You’d get on well with my wife. She’s absolutely ****ing furious that her (& others’) life has been stolen.
Anger is the only thing that gets anything difficult done.
Thanks for all that YOU do, doc. You are appreciated.
I told my teenagers "Never forget who did this to you. When you are 30 years old, and interviewing a 50-year old, ask them about the pandemic. If they were all about lockdowns and masks, don't hire them."

Perfect! I want to make sure these folks don't get to claim that they were "on the right side of history" all along, not even in casual conversation.
One of the first rules of good interviewing (or whatever you want to call it) is worth everyone, regardless of profession or background, learning:
Given the opportunity, unless they are a psychopath, people WANT to tell you who they really are and WANT to confess their sins.
If they ARE a psychopath, they want attention and arousal, which amounts to the same thing packaged differently.

In 20 years the 50 year olds will still be wearing masks. They will out themselves from any sane employment. An army of mentally unhinged awaits.
No one will be hiring 50-year olds in 20 years. Whatever jobs haven't been taken by robots/AI will be done by extremely young and briefly healthy Chinese slaves.
Those of us who would be 50+ in 20 years will be alive if they mercifully sustain us with UBI, and long dead of starvation or euthanasia if they don't.
Sorry I'm so depressing this evening. It's my birthday and I realized I've never had less hope for the future than I do now.
I’m so proud of you for insisting on the accurate text that told people this was due to government idiocy and not a virus. Mad props to you!
It was fun until it got me canned. The funny thing about it was they could never come out and say the belief system or politics that was behind it. It was always this lame "now it's too long this way" or "it doesn't fit the tone of the sentence" and never explicitly "stop questioning the COVID narrative" until one day it was "you just can't follow instructions."
They didn’t deserve your honesty and real caring (as opposed to this faux caring we encounter all the time in workplaces).
I'm happy that it led to me pivoting out of mass marketing. It was scummy and not good for me.
Even before that, I had very strong bright lines about what I would and wouldn't say that usually got past grumbling colleagues because nobody could beat my output.

WHEN YOU ARE IMMUNOSUPPRESSED YOU CAN DIE FROM THE COCCIDIMYOCOSES IN THE SOIL, ASPERGILLUS IN THE SOIL, ETC. I AM SO SICK OF THIS KABUKI THEATER WE ALL MUST MASSIVELY NONCOMPLY IMMEDIATELY.
"Immunosuppressed" is the new fashionable victim class: the medically-accredited weakness we are now supposed to celebrate without evidence or diagnosis.
These middle class chicas running around calling themselves immunosuppressed because they've got asthma or are "sensitive" or because "my anxiety affects my immune system" wouldn't want to be part of the VANISHING MINORITY of human beings that are actually so systemically immunosuppressed that they can't receive normal vaccines, radio, or chemo.
REAL immunosuppression is normal air shared by other humans can kill you without precautions. Grow the fuck up. We get it, you're unremarkable and dull and lost most of the friends you made in high school and notice that we celebrate weakness now, and see a way to make yourself interesting and worthy of demanding attention again.
I tell everyone I was simply vaccine hesitant in May/June. I'm on anarchy's doorstep now.
And I question EVERYTHING. Climate change? Check, another power grab ploy. Pollution is absolutely real, but lets focus on our water, soil, food, and medications where the actual pollution occurs and is harder to clean than buying energy from a dirty country and claiming you're carbon neutral.
Actually, not to nit pick, put it is now a Climate "Crisis", it needs to be a "Crisis" because the Covid "Crisis" is waning, and we need a crisis for the 2024 election. Ah, but what about the ADE from the vaccines? Well, that horror show will arrive just in time for another election season, and then it will be some kind of "Health" crisis, and the overlords will make sure that all the current political actors will have retired (or expired) to make way for the new cast (that will have no connection to today's Covid Circus), thus the perfect saviors. I am sure there are dozens of more crisis' in the wings, just waiting for their queue to arrive on the political world stage.
"...the overlords will make sure that all the current political actors will have retired (or expired) to make way for the new cast (that will have no connection to today's Covid Circus), thus the perfect saviors...."
They are prepping Kamala as we speak.
LOVED the playground padlock-cutting story! What I find astonishing is, as more and more evidence of extreme murderous malfeasance keeps getting added to the pile already collected and sitting in plain sight, how are these people still walking around healthy? I guess they are still protected by the fog of war helpfully generated by the dissembling old school media machine. I am waiting for the ADE and other terrible conditions to really start biting to the point that the public catches on that they have been duped and made war on by an enemy that has been killing them softly while pretending to help them “stay safe.” Until then I like to watch the video about the end of the Romanian? tyrant Cecseuque? One day he was in a stadium giving a speech. The crowd was roaring. He thinks they are cheering for him at first, then a horrified look comes across his face as he realizes that they are actually screaming “Let’s go Brandon!” A few days later he is in front of a firing squad. An army officer had been assigned to guard him before his execution. His orders were to make sure he shot him if anyone tried to rescue him before the execution. The officer describes being part of the firing squad, and says, “my first shots hit him in the legs…”
Brilliant. I too have watched that perfect moment many times. The gales of derisive laughter. His face. That of his wife the same.
I’d not heard of the officers act during the execution. Do you have a link?
Such were the decades of suffering that he wanted not only to kill NC, but to cause him some suffering?
Cheers
Mike
Ps: I’d happily shoot this lot in the legs first.
I went looking on DuckDuckGo to see if I could find it but was not able to find it. I did find a lot of very good material, including a great two-part series called “Doctor Horribilis” which focused on Elena Ceaucescu, NC’s wife. She had a grade school education but wanted to style herself as a scientist so it was arranged to get her a doctorate in Chemistry. Other people’s research was published in her name etc. She was declared to be the head of the Romanian Scientific Reseach Institute and wanted to be addressed as “Scientist-Doctor-Professor” or something like that LOL! None of the actual scientists dared to say anything because “heads would have rolled.” Part one is over an hour in length. It is a fascinating documentary of how power works when it is not tethered to a respect for the truth. I did not have time to watch it all but it is packed with interviews with people describing their experiences. That clip with the guard might be on there somewhere. I’d link it but don’t know how yet.
Here's a bright spot in my story: I was FAR from the only one doing padlock-cutting in my (former) home city. There was one community where a group of parents did it basically every single day, dragging the local precinct into an endless arms race of more and bigger chains, which all invariably got cut- always in the dead of night, always with no witnesses, and the cops couldn't stake out a playground, because they barely had the resources to deal with REAL crime.
Amen, amen and amen.
Also, if you haven't seen it or submitted it yet - please consider writing a comment to the FDA in advance of the meeting to decide EUA for children 5-11 years old. They are taking comments for a few more days. Here's a video showing you how to submit and a link to the form to do so. Because other countries will be looking toward our FDA to approve the vaccine in their countries your words are extra powerful.

They will pay. In this life or the next.
agreed, karma is real.
I was introduced to After Skool by that video some time ago.
Agreed, it is 100% psyop, but victory is never, ever certain.
I recommend the original YouTube channel After Skool uses as inspiration for their content: Academy of Ideas.
AoI already gets my money every month. I wish THE CAT WOULD TAKE MY MONEY TOO.
We might have to rub a little catnip on the money. Maybe that will help!
"they are 100% committed and cannot possibly fold now and take the blame."
That's the least-scary explanation. Part of me thinks their actual motives are much worse.
alas, those are not mutually exclusive.
either way, they are committed.
the end game is totalitarian progressivists run every aspect of your life.
get used to empty shelves and a cold dark winter.
'how dare you expect it any better!'
winter 2021 is gonna be much worse than winter 2020. On top of restrictions, masks, possibly some localized lockdowns, we will have vaccine mandates dystopia, vaccine passports and supply chain disruptions. I'm only waiting for interest rates to go up and economic recovery to stagnate and the cycle is complete. I hope that's gonna be enough to wake up more people and maybe we can expect a more hopeful spring 2022 ?
I'm not so sure about more lockdowns, particularly. Where I live (Quebec, and you too perhaps?) we have the injection passports and there's hardly any visible resistance, but mandatory injections for health care workers have been pushed back a month because of a very real possibility of systematic collapse as more than just the non-injected workers are threatening to walk. The lawless junta running this province has perhaps gone too far even for this docile population.
People are coming back into the office. People are acting more normal. No one even wants to TALK about lockdowns (much less the obscene curfew). People are again making future plans as if they have an actual right to do so. I personally hope that QC may phase out the injection passport in a few months considering it clearly accomplishes nothing other than reducing customers at struggling businesses; it's pandemic theatre to make pro-injection fanatics feel righteous, but it's not carrying it's own weight. These internal passports have been a love affair of just a few months for every dumbass country that's had one so far.
And the supply chain disruptions, how does that do anything but incriminate those in power who brought us lockdown? I think we underestimate how quickly, and hypocritically, our lockdown loving fellow citizens will turn on those that did what the public supposedly wanted, according to various polls that never seemed particularly believable. I think, maybe, the tide is turning already.
Yes I am in Quebec. You might be right. I have the feeling that most people know it's bullshit by now but still follow the rules (at least masks and vaxx pass). Most people seem lifeless however. We've been beaten up by the government for so long ... The tides are turning but slowly. Nobody want another curfew for sure but I'm afraid the vaxx pass will stay for while, until at least spring 2022.
(my comment about lockdowns was directed to other places in the world, they might have more...)
I agree, lockdowns are more of a risk in places that have not already played out that tactic. No one who’s had our level of confinement wants to relive it.
For the passport you’re probably right. My optimism comes from the fact that it’s the one policy I’ve been able to opt out of, and I’m not the only injected person who is not playing their statist game. I’m inviting more people over instead of eating out. And I frequent a place I know that doesn’t check the passport. While pro-injection fanatics chuckle on their couches about how it’s the antivax that have to stay home this time, people without the passport are out having fun in all sorts of ways. We’ll survive the winter without access to theaters, although the theaters might not survive without us.
How long can we keep in place a punitive and divisive policy whose supposed efficacy is, in the best case, weakened daily by diminishing returns? Quebec will show us.
get used to empty shelves in the grocery and department stores, like masks it is a virtue signal you are giving up the republic for.
Only part of you? It's right out in the open. You can buy the Klaus Schwab book on Amazon, for heaven's sake. We're well past the point where the incompetence can veil the malice. Those on top know exactly what they're doing, and the massive pyramid of little Eichmanns under them were much more than passively complicit.
If we were listening to the science, we should have been done with covid as soon as the first antibody tests came back showing that we had already been living with the virus for months.
That was April 2020.
True but who would feed the hungry vaccine peddlers and boost the net worth of the billionaires if we didn't? We might be awash in freedoms and critical thinking by now & who benefits from that! *smirk*
👏👏👏👏👍
More than any time in my life, I'm connecting with several likeminded folks. I'm a Naturopathic doc practicing primary care medicine in the state of Washington. 1/3 to 1/2 of my patients daily are upset about this and can't help but discuss it.
The entire time of the pandemic, when folks say things like "the pandemic has really messed up my business," or "the pandemic has really ruined my social lie," - I correct them. Most sort of do a double take and agree. A few have become silent or just had no noteworthy response.
I think we're all going to need to stay tight together during this madness. I see so many of us even desperate to know we're not crazy, that we're not alone. The constant propaganda/gas-lighting is having an ongoing toll on us all.
I'm grateful to have found the official Gato community and regularly send links out to spread the awesome articulate grounded blogs/essays (with some good humor thrown in) of El Gato weekly. I consider this group another ally in keeping my sanity and even encouraging my "misinformation" addicted brain.
Peace
This 👆🏻exactly. I come here when I’ve HAD IT! (And even before that 😀)
Some journalists should contact the authors of the cited pandemic guidelines document for some interviews. Perhaps start with Jennifer Nuzzo whose contact information is provided on the last page. jnuzzo@upmc-biosecurity.org
note that several of these authors became cheer leaders for lockdowns, masks, etc on the basis of no new data.
all governments have to do is dangle or threaten grant money and publicity and scientists will change the science to suit.
they key question for these folks is "so what was the data support to overturn your past writing?"
all i have ever seen them do is handwave.
Does journalism exist anymore? They just repeat narratives. At some point you don't bother to look under the surface. Better to not know.
It's rare, but there are still a handful still doing good journalistic work. El Gato being among them. Matt Taibbi is one of them and he just posted today his review of Ben Schreckinger's book about the craziness and corruption of the Biden family.
Bari Weiss (former NYT editor - kicked out by the lying left) is very good. I don't always agree with her, but she values and pursues truth. She is also using substack to essentially build a journalism outlet with like minded journalists (who actually, you know, do journalism).
https://bariweiss.substack.com/
From a very different angle, World Magazine. It is explicitly conservative Christian, but run in part by former journalism professor Marvin Olasky, who is committed to high and honest journalistic standards. What it often lacks in breadth, it makes up for in depth.
https://wng.org/
I'm curious to know what El Gato thinks of Project Veritas.
Alex Berenson (also on Substack: Unreported Truths) is publishing real articles as well.
Glenn Greenwald.
Mathew Crawford (Rounding the Earth on substack) has a serious back-catalogue and plenty more to come...
Ask Pelosi (She who's upset that the isn't doing the bidding of Dems in Congress)
Agreed - I was wanting a link where the guidelines are from. I think it should be in El Gato's post so we can easily share with journalists.
El Gato did embed a link in this post.

Hmmm I missed that. Thanks!
I'm re-reading 1984 - it's a refreshing break from the tyranny of our actual world and MSM news.
I found this passage especially unnerving:
"The economy of many countries was allowed to stagnate, land went out of cultivation, capital equipment was not added to, great blocks of the population were prevented from working and kept half alive by State charity. But this, too, entailed military weakness, and since the privations it inflicted were obviously unnecessary, it made opposition inevitable. The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they need not be distributed."
Orwell presumably was thinking of the Soviet Union when he wrote that.
"a barrage is coming as high prices, a lack of goods, and a seasonal surge in covid that vaccines could not attenuate all coincide in coming months."
EDIT: a barrage is coming as high prices, a lack of goods, and a seasonal surge in covid that vaccines CAUSED all coincide in coming months.
Spot on, their heels are dug in bc one lie begets another. But we know the truth and more truths will come to light. It is what we do with all this that has to be thought about and what next steps there will be. Strength in numbers. How few govt officials, health officials there are compared to our numbers. Take their lies and shove them right where the kitty cat's tail is!
I make sure to correct anyone I hear say covid caused this or that, even if they're a stranger. I've gotten into a few heated arguments from doing so, but this needs to be impressed upon everyone repeatedly. As a very smart gummi said a while back, "Covid-10 was always going to take its pound of flesh". Unfortunately the idiots in charge decided to add a couple hundred pounds on top of it.
I think you all should watch this four-minute rant from Dr Malone. It explains so much.

El Gato, have you seen this? They are planning to vax children from 5-11. It's positively monstrous.
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/white-house-details-plan-quickly-vaccinate-28m-children-age-5-11
They've been talking about it for a while. I read that article back in July in the WSJ. There's no science behind mass vaccination for kids, none. Worse the article mention teens and kids. Now we are talking about 5-12. Key point of the article :
"Our report found a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia. If that trend holds, it has significant implications for healthy kids and whether they need two vaccine doses. "
Of course, we all know looking at basic covid data that healthy kids do not die from covid and barely have symptoms. Unfortunately I cannot share WSJ article with whoever I know because of "Wall Street" in the name. They should read those articles instead of the typical MSN trash though.
Oops article : https://www.wsj.com/articles/cdc-covid-19-coronavirus-vaccine-side-effects-hospitalization-kids-11626706868
If they go ahead with it, I truly will never trust anyone in the medical profession again. It is nothing but evil.
Only the white kids. Most black parents won't stand for it. Unless they are on benefits.
Sadly, many white Karens will be at the front of the line dragging little double-masked Jayden and Emily along for their shots. I still see young kids masked outdoors. It's child abuse, plain and simple.
I venture to say that those who complied and continue to comply with unlawful mandates allow this to be done to us. Without compliance, this would not have happened.
They need to pay. I wrote a short thread on the high crimes and madness back in June:

Sun Tzu said: We come now to the question of encamping the army, and observing signs of the enemy. Pass quickly over mountains, and keep in the neighborhood of valleys.
So awesome; thank you!
Awesome piece! Pls keep going
