Yes. The mask was the gateway drug... to the real drug. I knew it as it was happening. I read up on the dangers of the mask. And the second I said I won’t do that to myself, and I won’t do that to my child, I was labeled a horrible evil person who didn’t care about anyone and wanted to kill people. I will never forget this ever.
My favorite quote over the last few years was from a guy who called in to a radio show and told the host that some triple masked lady boldly came up to him and asked, "why aren't you wearing a mask? Don't you care about me?" His answer, "No. Actually I don't." It was the most honest answer I have ever heard because most of us in reality don't care about a stranger on the street. We care about ourselves and our families. And, IMHO, that's the way it should be. I always say, if I see someone bleeding to death, I'll do my best to render aid. But I'm not going to worry myself about everyone around me eating right, exercising, getting fresh air and doing the best for their own health. I could care less.
i have a morbidly obese "friend" (former friend) in NYC who boasted that he would be happy to take a booster every two weeks if his doctor advised it. but i guess not happy to push back from the table a bit sooner- this guy has already been through bariatric surgery and has gained back every lost pound and then some!
he also posted on facebook that he couldn't wait for all those unvaccinated people to "hurry up and die already." some things cannot be forgiven.
Where I live in Northern New Mexico, most of the people are devoted Covidians, still masking. If you go into the local hospital for any reason, you must mask up. Then I saw something I'd heard about anecdotally but didn't expect to see: A motorcyclist wearing a mask and no helmet.
Yep as far as I know, you still have to mask up in hospitals/dr offices around here too (SE/SC Kansas). It's a large part of the reason I haven't worked in the medical field since I got laid off in Nov. 2020. I WILL NOT be stuck in some office, forced to wear a mask all day long. Makes me very angry and disillusioned with my chosen profession....but that's another discussion entirely.
I'm sorry you had that experience. At least, I am retired. I'm also 80. My husband died 5 years ago and just about the time I was ready to live my life without him (a great loss for me), the Covid insanity struck and everything was closed or closed to me as I wouldn't get the shots. I am angry and disillusioned with almost everything. We have been programmed to expect less and young people don't seem to have a clue.
Yes they are...I keep seeing people at the grocery store and out and about all masked up and I just shake my head. Even saw some idiot wearing one IN HER CAR - BY HERSELF!! Stupidity abounds...🤣🤣
I regularly see some guys wearing a mask alone in their car (last one was in a Lamborghini convertible): I tend to think these are the guys who wear a condom when they go to sleep.
Oddly enough I took part in a peaceful anti-lockdown rally in Glasgow, and the only person in our group who was shouting at the masked to 'take them off' was a rather large and rude woman in a wheelchair.
It struck me at the time as hilarious, having seen the meme, but this kind of rudeness will never win folk to your cause, just alienate them.
and so it begins: you know a social media channel is starting to get noticed when it gets spammed by 'get rich quick' spammers. Shaun, don't be such a d!ck, OK?
Funny thing is, he could've answered it both ways, and both ways honestly.
"Yes, I do, in one sense, and that's why I'm not wearing a mask. To, I would hope, show you the stupidity and uselessness of masking, and the harm you're doing to yourself not only by wearing useless, disgusting masks, but also by your signaling to our totalitarian overlords that you're already a lost soul, total subject, not a citizen of a free republic. I'm doing you a favor, asshole, because you're too stupid to figure it out yourself."
For me, it was very freeing to understand that I do not care about anyone other than my immediate family and a few friends. And that is a good thing, there's no physical or mental space in my life to do otherwise. The corollary being nobody cares about me either. Which is as it should be.
Related, "the common good" is one of the biggest lies around, it actually doesn't exist. We create a common consensus, or at least a pattern of behavior, through individual actions benefitting ourselves and immediate circle. The result appears to be a common good, but it can't be predermined or mandated.
“Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
you are right. the common good does not exist as clearly demonstrated by every utopian failure in history. how many businesses are destroyed, people killed, farmland ruined in the name of some higher "good?"
or the irony of listening to pompous asshole Sam Harris saying that even if Hunter Biden's laptop had shown the bodies of dead children in his basement, it had to be suppressed for the greater good of keeping Trump out of office, as if his certainty of what is "right" for the nation should over rule the vote of the people.
there were those who insisted that the cities reduced to rubble in the wake of the George Floyd riots were "only" property and therefore not as important as the life that was lost. sorry, bozos, but MY property means a hell of a lot more to me than the life of a petty career criminal.
that we are asked, no demanded!, to care more about people we've never met and never will meet than we do about our own children, that we were made to let our elderly parents die alone to keep "the world" safe from a virus, that we are supposed to stop eating meat, traveling, reading by electric lights, etc to preserve the planet for "the future" and are hectored by a petulant teenage girl because we aren't sacrificing "enough" for her- it all goes contrary to human nature.
the only way people will do things against their own interests for some amorphous "common good" is by force which should tell you all you need to know
I used to think there was something wrong with me for not caring about people I've never met. For not buying into the "current compassionate cause". I now realize that the "common good", which is preached by the liars and frauds is just an easy way to line their pockets and maintain power.
My friend who turned me on to Substack is always telling me that she has a "brain crush" on the author of this article (El Gato) -- even though none of us know what he looks like. Ha! :)
Yup, make your own fcukin' bed and sweep in front of your own door, and we won't need the forever meddling Nanny State and its destructive unintended consequences.
Well ... I would split hairs and argue that we don't "need" the Nanny State now, but yeah; the fact that so many cannot manage to care for their own basic hygiene gives them the excuse to beg for that Nanny -- and it gives the Nannies the illusion of being needed, to keep the illusion of support for said meddling.
Compliance. Obedience. Subordination. [They] will use the pretense of caring to try to get you to do what they want. "If I care about you, then you owe me." Which is of course false at the get-go because they do NOT care about you; they only pretend to.
Good question. Beyond your agreement, validating their stance, maybe they want you to be one of their wins, on the way to the highest heaven, like certain religious sects that dictate to their members that they must convert X number of people. You're another gold star on the chart. What low self-esteem they must have. A hollowness inside. Maybe Mom and Dad put a price on their love.
To me masking is actually the face of their fear and cowardice. And claiming you're masking for the sake of others is right up there with the old "Some of my best friends are Black."
Results matter more than intentions. Yet our society refuses to hold leadership to the only standard leaders should be held to: their effectiveness (which is measured in results). Why do so many policies exist that continuously have bad results?
This problem is easily solvable. We need to be a results-driven society once again. Intentions irrelevant, we need to demand results with receipts.
I know of several people that lost their jobs for not getting the jab. None of them had any redemption after nearly a year. Some have ongoing court battles. To this day, there has been no accountability nor barely any emergency powers revoked.
I literally LOL'd when I watched that video and she said they were "moving at the speed of science." What on earth is that? Is there an equation that describes "the speed of science"? Whoever came up with that bit of propaganda should be fired.
"We had to move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market."
Translation: If we went slow and tested our product to determine if it was safe, or if it even worked properly the covid gravy train would have passed us by. The science told us we had a matter of months, maybe a year to 18 months to develop, market, and mass produce the serum. After that most people would begin to develop natural immunity, and our magic elixir wouldn't be needed. So you can see, the window to pull this off was tight. It was necessary for us to abandon the notions of quality control and safety testing and get this thing through the pipeline and into the market fast. So we freed the science of those restraints and kicked the vax into "warp-speed." And obviously it's been a huge success! Our profits are up 150% in the past 2 years.
Because of the "market." AKA "we need to get our shit out before the other players or we'll never get our billions." It's always good to be reminded that humans are just a market for making money - don't ever believe that the medical industrial complex is looking out for your health - it's not.
The past 2+ years have given me a healthy (no pun intended) total and complete distrust of Big Pharma, medical associations and guilds, doctors, hospitals, and everything associated with them.
I even think I mean that literally. Zero trust. They can all GFT.
If only one could take the risk. We just calculated that our family will have to pay nearly $400K in health insurance (at current rates) until our youngest is 26. Insanity.
Except that it seems to be moving towards 'how fast you can do it or pretend to'. I remember the brief video of Stephan Oelrich (might not be spelled correctly), Bayer pharma head where he stated that mRNA tech is the way to go in the pharma future because of speed.
Read up on Event 201. We are at this phase of the plot:
"We are at war with C0VID. Vaxxes were are best weapon. Everyone did their best, but there were issues. Everyone that was harmed by vaxxination is a war hero and should be celebrated. "
Except that the vaxx harmed are not war heros. Most of them are being ignored and further harmed.
I just heard from a friend this morning: she called saying her husband had had a stroke 2 weeks ago, lost the use of his left side, is in rehab where a good but not complete recovery is expected. He's 80 yrs old so it might not be vaxx related, but I know they've had at least 4 shots so I am very suspicious, they are not.
At some point-- when it becomes acceptable to talk about these things-- I suspect they will acknowledge vaxx injuries and call them "casualties of war" or something of that sort . That was the plan in Event 201. Not sure when that will happen though.
My BIL is vaxx injured. Shingles that became neuropathy. His wife acknowledges it, but will still get the latest booster if her doctor tells her to. Crazy.
And by some miracle, those of us who are not vaxxed continue to be healthy, at least faring no worse than the vaxxed when it comes to covid. You would think they would clue in to that amazing little detail.
I have a veterinary nurse friend who was "on the fence" about the advisability of getting the Covid jabs, and I warned her repeatedly, with links to great substack writers on the topic, NOT to get the poison jabs. She ended up not having a choice as her employer decided to require them, including boosters. She let me know two months ago that the ONLY people she knows who got Covid (and who keep on getting it) are jabbed. She meets a ton of people as she works in a very busy veterinary practice and also runs an animal humane nonprofit. She has had nothing but health issues since taking the jabs (and she looks as if she's aged 10 years overnight), and she reports that her colleagues at work are the same -- always someone out sick with Covid. Yes, some people are noticing that the unjabbed are not getting sick. I myself don't know of anyone unjabbed who got Covid (or who appeared to age 10 years overnight!). However, my unjabbed friends and I are flabbergasted (and saddened) by the number of our jabbed friends and acquaintances who are constantly sick with something or other and who look like hell.
Yeah, I've noticed that. They are all looking rather the worse for wear and most seem to be doing poorly a lot of the time. One thing after another (i.e. broken immune system). And they ask me how I'm doing, I say, "Great!" and they all seem strangely deflated. Misery loves company, I guess. And they can't hide from the sudden deaths in the news, not forever. They must be in a state of silent panic. I'm unjabbed and got the flu last July, probably covid, but who knows? I sure af didn't take their lousy test. It was a nasty bug, I followed my mish-mash protocol, all over within four days and I feel the stronger for it.
I pretty much agree. I know a few people, unvaxxed who got covid in 2020, 2021 and 2022, all seniors oldest being in their 90's. Most recovered just about as you would from the flu. I do know 2 people who died of covid although I can't rule out treatment, one 59 and the other 72. These were acquaintances and I didn't know any details.
Having said that, I haven't had covid. I had a cold/sore throat earlier this year that I thought was but I got a blood test for antibodies 2 months later and nothing.
The vaxxed people I know get covid repeatedly and as you say seem to have constant health problems. Some do look aged. I am certain these people regret their decision. When asked how I'm doing, I always say 'just great' and it's the truth.
Moderna CEO Becnel helped build the Wuhan lab when he was at bioniuerex.
Not only can you lay the deaths of covid engineered virus at these evil lying shits feet, you can lay withholding early treatment that mitigates severe symptoms and saves lives at their feet too. Not to mention all the babies lost and who the hell knows what it's doing to fertility and DNA. This is the biggest crime against humanity I have ever seen. I won't forget it. Ever. No matter how many news cycles go by or no matter how may frickin nukes Russia and NATO/US launch in their fight to the death Ukraine proxy war.
Trust me, I won't forget either. I have spent the last few years filled with dread, waiting for those I love who are vaxxed to get sick and die. So far, one nephew is dead from the vaxx, and his father is vaxx injured. I know there will be more.
This just isn't hurting those who are vaxxed; it is hurting all their loved ones who know what can happen. That's why I say it's Satanic. It's hurt everyone.
I am so sorry to hear about your personal losses, shibumi. I cannot imagine the sorrow and impotent rage I would feel if this happened in my family. And yet it quite possibly may someday. It's out of my hands, I can only pray.
I feel as you do - and I can hardly bear the thought of them getting away with it. Will this atrocity ever be fully revealed, and these villains brought to justice?
It's the speed of theoretical science and cursory experimentation i.e. no validation or verification, nor applicability to the real world.
Boeing went through the ringer for years, planes grounded, share price plummetted, for 346 deaths. Tragic as they were, the planes did exactly what they were supposed to for 99.99% of the time. There was no "speed of science" for that investigation
I remember a conversation where I told my “friend” that I wouldn’t be vaccinating my kids against this. She accused me of “being ok with killing grandma” while in The Same Conversation I had told her how upsetting it was that grandma (my mom) and I can’t see each other cause of the US/Canada border vax mandates! Grandma doesn’t want the bs vax either!
Like HELLO!!!!!!
When I see her now she looks down and acts surprised and awkward that I’m
It's so bizarre how with Covid adults suddenly thought it perfectly ok to force the young to take an experimental vax with virtually no benefit for them in order to "save" the elderly. It's totally backwards.
I'm sorry, smoke. I lost a couple of friends, too. And most of my family. And all the king's horses and all the king's men aren't going to fix things, I'm afraid.
Pro-vax friends turned away as if from a silent-but-deadly when I would mention supplements such as NAC and Beta Glucans, etc.. Vit. D, zinc, yeah, those are okay, approved by Science. Anything else was smelling of heterodoxy.
Much of this was also a product of the shabby lie that was the claim that individuals could be spreading even if they were asymptomatic. Basic epidemiology states that this almost NEVER happens.
ONE BIG LIE! I had to go to the dentist yesterday and they’re STILL taking temperatures and masking! It’s insane! I have a Fake Mask. Of course I said something, but when it comes to cancer (removed 2 mos. ago) and tooth surgery, I have no choice. It really pisses me off!
I wanted to speak to my surgeon at my follow up visit two weeks after my surgery. I asked him if I could take my mask off…nope! Pissed me off BAD! Where is the human connection after a traumatic experience? It’s despicable!
I once had a doctor deliver a cancer diagnosis where my appointment was less than 5 minutes long. I didn't have the choice of another doctor. Over the approx 5 years that I saw him, he turned out to be fairly easy to work with and a good doctor in lots of ways. Fortunately, my cancer was indolent, rare enough that I could be almost as informed as anyone else including the specialists. I was also able to put off treatment until a quite patient friendly treatment option was published.
Five minutes long to deliver the news that your world's about to be turned upside down? Great, just great. My tit woman, the best in the west, once made me wait half an hour, when I had made an appointment, so she could deliver the bad news to a woman who was about to find out that she had breast cancer. I told her, take your time, Doc. I was just fine with waiting.
This. I never bought this but it sure as hell made it easy to control people. Test positive? Get locked in your house. In my state, they were telling anyone (asymptomatic) who tested positive for Covid that they must be locked in a room away from family and pets for two weeks and that the department of health would be doing daily check ups to make sure you remained in your own prison.
Remember when they were putting ankle monitors (same ones used for criminals for home confinement) on healthy people who tested positive for Covid putting them under house arrest?
Oh, I was told you can spread while asymptomatic...unless you are vaccinated to "reduce severity", then your asymptomatic spread is impossible. That started right around when most people were realizing the vaxxed were coming down with multiple repeat infections. They wanted to cling to the "you have to get vaxxed because you can still spread while asymptomatic" yet needed to spin that the vaxxed were clearly not viral dead ends to "the vax doesn't stop infection but it keeps your infection asymptomatic so you still won't transmit even if you catch it". And hope no one notices the hypocrisy.
So "you must get vaccinated to reduce your covid infections to asymptomatic ones that can't spread the virus, because without it you will spread the virus even if asymptomatic.". So many Pfizer trolls in Way of the Bern on reddit flooding us with this weapons grade balonium.
Totally agree Edward Teach. That was the thing that really got me too. But you know, if they hadn’t propagated that lie, then there would’ve been no basis for their ridiculous insistence on testing perfectly healthy, asymptomatic people! Which was a large part of the foundation of the entire thing.
The "stay at home" poster is absolutely real. Amplifier.org is a paid propaganda company that specializes in visual art and is exclusively employed by government and government-adjacent orgs using social justice messaging.
I guarantee you've seen them before. I know some of their posters were all over Puerto Rico and they've saturated NYC in the last few elections. They're AOC's art department.
And I think she was originally fabricated at that South Korea lab that does the robots that talk to old people and painted to look like what the design team decided brown Western women look like.
Fun fact: the phrase "look at that ass, look at that big juicy booty" translates to "outstanding college entrance exams, sufficiently anorexic" in Korean.
"get vaccinated to prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed" this was frequently said in Canada. Noone focused however on the fact that the socialized healthcare system is ossified and inflexible and unable to cope with a crises. If they had a free market health care system, there would be no risk of the hospitals being overhwhelmed
Except the hospitals were never overwhelmed here, many many firsthand testimonies have confirmed they were emptier than normal, including a nurse I know who is not against the covid narrative. Added to which they are always overwhelmed during flu season. I went to emerg during flu season in 2009 in Toronto and had to be put in the hall because there were no rooms.
Here's the thing about "overwhelmed." The "2 weeks to flatten the curve" was in March/ April of 2020 in the US IIRC.
In November of 2020, theoretically after the 2 weeks, the hospitals in my area WERE overwhelmed so much so that my husband had C0VID pneumonia-- they never told him he had pneumonia and they simply sent him home because they had no beds. He was home a week before his doctor, via a Zoom visit, had me call an ambulance. We sent him to a different hospital that admitted him for a few days.
Moral of the story? They deliberately effed this up and have broken many, many people.
We were VERY lucky. Big hospital rejected him [no beds], we ended up at a smaller hospital. He would NOT have let them intubate him; he knew. Ended up getting antibody plasma and a few other things. Is fine now. Thank God.
Very happy you ended up in a reasonable place. In the larger hospitals, you may be unable to keep them from intubating you, they just do what they want, including listing people as "DNR" without their consent.
Dual citizen here; moved back to USA after ~20 years in Canada, March 4, '20. (Yes right before TSHTF.) So I've seen and lived 'em both.
The health care system here is broken too. But as for wanting government health care, it's the same as why city people vote for the Democrats. The system they depend on to stay alive is so complex that they do not understand it; so they vote for Rubes that promise to take care of them.
Which of course is impossible; the Rubes know even less about the system than the people do. All they know how to do is promise; they do that to keep power.
So, health care system is broken and getting worse; let's vote for the Rubes who promise to fix it. Out of the frying pan, into the fire...
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The only thing that changes is the amount of power the Rubes in government have. Always more, never enough.
In the US with an open border our schools and healthcare system will be overwhelmed and it has nothing to do with Covid. Cloward and Piven is being played out in real time.
I know it was ridiculous. The degree of mismanagement ,error, miscalculation , ineptitude , incompetence, malfeasance was heroic! LIke a greek tragedy. All the world health authorities used those models from the imperiod college which were wrong. Then they all followed mitigation guidance from the chinese communists which were wrong. ANd treatment protocols which were wrong. And these people were so arrogant and ideological they couldnt ever admit how wrong they were . Then the whole thing was weaponized and used to punish the current regimes political enemies
When I saw people treating the imperial gibberish (and another out of WA I can't recall at the moment) as if it were real was the moment when I knew the BS would get real, real deep.
I like that "imperial gibberish" It really was and is all total nonsense. Lying about everything. denying reality. Venal, meanspirited, vindictive, anti civilizational.
those stickers on the floor, the relentless propaganda, "safe and effective..."
it was like thick acid diesel smoke the stung my eyes and nauseated me as soon as those masks went on, I knew we were in deep shit.
As a jewish kid from a religious home growing up in the 70s , I went to an after gov school religious program and the teachers and rabbis warned us that someday what happened in Germany would happen again somewhere over and and over maybe even in the US. ANd here we are.
Im sure that if we werent a huge continental nation with 350 million people and a strong tradition of giving the middle finger to authority, if we were like say a small landlocked country like Austria with less than 10 million p eople, Im sure we would have been rounding up unvaxxed people in camps by now.
These people were wrong about everything and the wrecked people's lives and caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people, prob more.
Tens of thousands doesn’t come close, I’m afraid. Probably a half million, so far, in the US alone. CDC MMWR indicates 7-8000 excess deaths per week at this point in time. Life insurance data corroborates. VAERS corroborates. In my case personal experience (17 dead or injured personally known individuals) corroborates. My family lost 53 members in Austria and Hungary during the perpetrators last Great War and mass murder. My ears heard the echoes as soon as Gates got on the MSM bullhorn and started yelling “Vaxx now!”
You are right, when they announced the vax mandates I actually thought I was going to have to leave my job and Northern NJ. I made plans,,, did an inventoiry of all my camping and survival gear, waterm, fuel, food, ammo... Its a mass totalitarian psychosis based on racial hygiene. Its amazing to me how NYC and northeast have been ground zero for this worldwide mass psychotic breakdown. Australia, NZ, Canada, now China went batshit crazy.
Well, having recently had to spend an entire day (a Monday) on a gurney in a corridor of one of Seattle's top hospitals because of lack of space, and had to wait an entire month for a follow-up appointment with my PCP, I think you're a tad optimistic.
in the US we have worst of every world of healthcare. We have a huge regulatory state that constrains and hamstrings the health care system from being innovative , more efficient and cheaper. We have a burdensome tax , system, massive liability problems / tort risk. ANd then we have a crony corrupt health insurance system.
It’s BAD! I just had cancer removed. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days after surgery. I was scared to death, not of the cancer, but of the hospital! I cannot stress this enough! I did an Advanced Directive and had it notarized to put in my record. NO vaccines NO blood transfusions NO Remdesivir NO ventilator…never in my life would I have done this until NOW! And I won’t even tell you how much they got the insurance company for. I was SHOCKED!
Yes, and the fact that we have to go through licensed gatekeepers for medication, and then they aren't even allowed to prescribe appropriate medication, makes our system worse than useless in the case of communicable disease.
Washington state will follow California and prohibit the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035, Jay Inslee, the state governor, said.
California regulators on Thursday moved forward with a landmark plan to phase out the sale of gas cars over the next 13 years in the US’s largest auto market.
The new policy requires 100% of new sales of passenger cars, trucks and SUVs in the state to be powered by electricity or hydrogen by 2035, with one-fifth allowed to be plug-in hybrids.
The specific regulations for Washington state are yet to be created and the public will have the chance to weigh in, the Seattle Times reported.
I am, and plan to continue to be, a selfish bastard when it come to *my* and my family's health, safety, and liberty. Sorry, but it's the truth, I do *not* care about someone else's poor choices and inability to do their selfish duty to worry about their own health and safety. No, we are not, and never have been, "in this together." Herds go over cliffs together.
People forget that "Flattening the curve” didn’t mean covid would necessarily infect or kill fewer people, but that lengthening the time period over which the crisis occurred would help hospitals handle covid without being pushed to the brink. But hospitals were never close to being overrun. In fact, inpatient admission rates went down in every month:
Exactly! From March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, hospitals lost an estimated $202.6 billion. Without patients, hundreds of thousands of employees were laid off or furloughed, including nurses and other medical staff. In some cases, entire hospitals were forced to close.
Once again, our Bad Cat insightfully cuts through the propaganda to reveal the horrific truth. Prediction: the Covidian fascists will next pivot to Climate/ Eco fascism.
I was just reading that book again waiting at the lab for my wife... it is a bit repetitive but indeed, everything she predicted is happening.
Thankfully the Normies are starting to wake up. Too many red pills, one after the other; sooner or later they take one and WOW! 'How long has this been going on??'
Yes. The mask was the gateway drug... to the real drug. I knew it as it was happening. I read up on the dangers of the mask. And the second I said I won’t do that to myself, and I won’t do that to my child, I was labeled a horrible evil person who didn’t care about anyone and wanted to kill people. I will never forget this ever.
My favorite quote over the last few years was from a guy who called in to a radio show and told the host that some triple masked lady boldly came up to him and asked, "why aren't you wearing a mask? Don't you care about me?" His answer, "No. Actually I don't." It was the most honest answer I have ever heard because most of us in reality don't care about a stranger on the street. We care about ourselves and our families. And, IMHO, that's the way it should be. I always say, if I see someone bleeding to death, I'll do my best to render aid. But I'm not going to worry myself about everyone around me eating right, exercising, getting fresh air and doing the best for their own health. I could care less.
My favorite were the extremely obese people yelling at the unmasked to put one on, "Do it for my health!"

how many masked folks have you seen buying cigarettes from the gas station or corner stores or buying booze at the liquor and beer stores?
they take their health seriously! lol
Perfectly captured!
Thanks, Simulation. Good cartoon.
It’s the best!!!
i have a morbidly obese "friend" (former friend) in NYC who boasted that he would be happy to take a booster every two weeks if his doctor advised it. but i guess not happy to push back from the table a bit sooner- this guy has already been through bariatric surgery and has gained back every lost pound and then some!
he also posted on facebook that he couldn't wait for all those unvaccinated people to "hurry up and die already." some things cannot be forgiven.
I'm sorry to say you are better off without that "friend" in your life.
many "friends"
Yes. "Friends" and let us not forget the "family" members too.
ugh...FORMER friend says it all!!!
I call these people my covid casualties. I no longer associate with them.
No doubt!! Lol
They are still walking around wearing masks, buying bad food- I just laugh.

I'm sorry you had that experience. At least, I am retired. I'm also 80. My husband died 5 years ago and just about the time I was ready to live my life without him (a great loss for me), the Covid insanity struck and everything was closed or closed to me as I wouldn't get the shots. I am angry and disillusioned with almost everything. We have been programmed to expect less and young people don't seem to have a clue.
Yes they are...I keep seeing people at the grocery store and out and about all masked up and I just shake my head. Even saw some idiot wearing one IN HER CAR - BY HERSELF!! Stupidity abounds...🤣🤣
I regularly see some guys wearing a mask alone in their car (last one was in a Lamborghini convertible): I tend to think these are the guys who wear a condom when they go to sleep.
Oddly enough I took part in a peaceful anti-lockdown rally in Glasgow, and the only person in our group who was shouting at the masked to 'take them off' was a rather large and rude woman in a wheelchair.
It struck me at the time as hilarious, having seen the meme, but this kind of rudeness will never win folk to your cause, just alienate them.
Ghahhhh. Indeed.
and so it begins: you know a social media channel is starting to get noticed when it gets spammed by 'get rich quick' spammers. Shaun, don't be such a d!ck, OK?
That's not "Shaun's" actual photo. The scumbag used a stock marketing photo. Easy to find on tineye.com.
I know: his real name is probably 'Dick Head' lol Good to see him/her/it deleted.
Funny thing is, he could've answered it both ways, and both ways honestly.
"Yes, I do, in one sense, and that's why I'm not wearing a mask. To, I would hope, show you the stupidity and uselessness of masking, and the harm you're doing to yourself not only by wearing useless, disgusting masks, but also by your signaling to our totalitarian overlords that you're already a lost soul, total subject, not a citizen of a free republic. I'm doing you a favor, asshole, because you're too stupid to figure it out yourself."
“An emergency on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part.” - Unknown
Even better of a response, though, from my perspective: "Yes, I care about you. That's precisely why I'm not wearing a mask."
I told folks I was pro face.
Brilliant!! Pro face. Stealing that and using it in life.
Mind if I borrow that? I love it!
I like it!
For me, it was very freeing to understand that I do not care about anyone other than my immediate family and a few friends. And that is a good thing, there's no physical or mental space in my life to do otherwise. The corollary being nobody cares about me either. Which is as it should be.
Related, "the common good" is one of the biggest lies around, it actually doesn't exist. We create a common consensus, or at least a pattern of behavior, through individual actions benefitting ourselves and immediate circle. The result appears to be a common good, but it can't be predermined or mandated.
“Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
you are right. the common good does not exist as clearly demonstrated by every utopian failure in history. how many businesses are destroyed, people killed, farmland ruined in the name of some higher "good?"
or the irony of listening to pompous asshole Sam Harris saying that even if Hunter Biden's laptop had shown the bodies of dead children in his basement, it had to be suppressed for the greater good of keeping Trump out of office, as if his certainty of what is "right" for the nation should over rule the vote of the people.
there were those who insisted that the cities reduced to rubble in the wake of the George Floyd riots were "only" property and therefore not as important as the life that was lost. sorry, bozos, but MY property means a hell of a lot more to me than the life of a petty career criminal.
that we are asked, no demanded!, to care more about people we've never met and never will meet than we do about our own children, that we were made to let our elderly parents die alone to keep "the world" safe from a virus, that we are supposed to stop eating meat, traveling, reading by electric lights, etc to preserve the planet for "the future" and are hectored by a petulant teenage girl because we aren't sacrificing "enough" for her- it all goes contrary to human nature.
the only way people will do things against their own interests for some amorphous "common good" is by force which should tell you all you need to know
Very well said.
I used to think there was something wrong with me for not caring about people I've never met. For not buying into the "current compassionate cause". I now realize that the "common good", which is preached by the liars and frauds is just an easy way to line their pockets and maintain power.
🎯🎯🎯
That quote is f***ing MAGNIFICENT. Love it. I had not heard that one before, but it is terrifically eloquent.
Starting my day with Goethe, what could be better. Is it possible to be in love with a man who has been dead for nearly 200 years? Yes, it is.
My friend who turned me on to Substack is always telling me that she has a "brain crush" on the author of this article (El Gato) -- even though none of us know what he looks like. Ha! :)
Yup, make your own fcukin' bed and sweep in front of your own door, and we won't need the forever meddling Nanny State and its destructive unintended consequences.
Well ... I would split hairs and argue that we don't "need" the Nanny State now, but yeah; the fact that so many cannot manage to care for their own basic hygiene gives them the excuse to beg for that Nanny -- and it gives the Nannies the illusion of being needed, to keep the illusion of support for said meddling.
First-rate commenting here.
I agree with every word.
"The corollary being nobody cares about me either."
When they do (or pretend to), it is time to worry...
Exactly the point, I know they don't actually care about me, so what do they want out of me ?
Compliance. Obedience. Subordination. [They] will use the pretense of caring to try to get you to do what they want. "If I care about you, then you owe me." Which is of course false at the get-go because they do NOT care about you; they only pretend to.
Good question. Beyond your agreement, validating their stance, maybe they want you to be one of their wins, on the way to the highest heaven, like certain religious sects that dictate to their members that they must convert X number of people. You're another gold star on the chart. What low self-esteem they must have. A hollowness inside. Maybe Mom and Dad put a price on their love.
Fond memories of old fashioned notion that folks should mind their own beeswax!
Oh GOD do I miss that!!
Ain’t that the truth?! Ultimately all anyone really wants is to be left alone
Particularly by the government.
To me masking is actually the face of their fear and cowardice. And claiming you're masking for the sake of others is right up there with the old "Some of my best friends are Black."
Pathetic virtue signalling.
💥 BAM !
I had a guy curse at me in the grocery store because my going maskless was “The reason people are dying of Covid.” Not very sciencey of him.
yes, I have endured that too.
So weird. I just give them a brief blank stare and off I go,
I always roll my eyes and chuckle. Peeps hate to be ridiculed.
cultivez votre jardin - wise words from Voltaire. Gandhi too - change only starts with yourself.
You must be speaking about the quaint notion called "Personal Responsibility"! C'mon man, get with the times!
"why aren't you wearing a mask? Don't you care about me?"
No, I don't give a f about you. You could catch fire and I'd carry on walking. Now, FOAD.
Oh dear, I shouldn't have been sipping my coffee just now. Snort!!
Don’t ever let them forget. Don’t let them forget they’re serial child abusers, who belong locked away from society.
Results matter more than intentions. Yet our society refuses to hold leadership to the only standard leaders should be held to: their effectiveness (which is measured in results). Why do so many policies exist that continuously have bad results?
This problem is easily solvable. We need to be a results-driven society once again. Intentions irrelevant, we need to demand results with receipts.
https://joshketry.substack.com/p/we-should-value-results-more-than?r=7oa9d&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
you made the right choice.
I know of several people that lost their jobs for not getting the jab. None of them had any redemption after nearly a year. Some have ongoing court battles. To this day, there has been no accountability nor barely any emergency powers revoked.
I literally LOL'd when I watched that video and she said they were "moving at the speed of science." What on earth is that? Is there an equation that describes "the speed of science"? Whoever came up with that bit of propaganda should be fired.
"We had to move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market."
Translation: If we went slow and tested our product to determine if it was safe, or if it even worked properly the covid gravy train would have passed us by. The science told us we had a matter of months, maybe a year to 18 months to develop, market, and mass produce the serum. After that most people would begin to develop natural immunity, and our magic elixir wouldn't be needed. So you can see, the window to pull this off was tight. It was necessary for us to abandon the notions of quality control and safety testing and get this thing through the pipeline and into the market fast. So we freed the science of those restraints and kicked the vax into "warp-speed." And obviously it's been a huge success! Our profits are up 150% in the past 2 years.
This speed-of-science comment reminds me of Pelosi's comment re Obamacare "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
BOOM💥
Best comment of the covid era! I hope you don't mind if I use it on the vaxxaholics going forward.
please feel free!
Winner winner chicken dinner! A PERFECT description of reality.
Very well said! Best definition I've seen of the term "speed of science".
Exactly!
With regard to vaccines, the "speed of science" used to be 5+ *years*.
But of course "the speed of science" is a total bullcrap soundbite. Science is about discovery, not about how fast you can (pretend to) do it.
Exactly correct. So many norms went by the wayside in the last two years.
Because of the "market." AKA "we need to get our shit out before the other players or we'll never get our billions." It's always good to be reminded that humans are just a market for making money - don't ever believe that the medical industrial complex is looking out for your health - it's not.
The past 2+ years have given me a healthy (no pun intended) total and complete distrust of Big Pharma, medical associations and guilds, doctors, hospitals, and everything associated with them.
I even think I mean that literally. Zero trust. They can all GFT.
Same. Medical police state racketeers, all of them .
If only one could take the risk. We just calculated that our family will have to pay nearly $400K in health insurance (at current rates) until our youngest is 26. Insanity.
Except that it seems to be moving towards 'how fast you can do it or pretend to'. I remember the brief video of Stephan Oelrich (might not be spelled correctly), Bayer pharma head where he stated that mRNA tech is the way to go in the pharma future because of speed.
Yeah, "speed". How quickly they can turn tech into a burgeoning bottom line.
Yeah, speed. Like how quickly can we get this marvelous new unsinkable ocean liner across the Atlantic.
Yeah, speed. How quickly they can get the jab recipients six feet under.
They seem to be doing a fine job so far. But there's always room for improvement. Stay tuned.
Speed of science 🤣🤣🤣
Speed of science…so lame. More like speed of greed
Yeah, wtf? You mean really slow, careful recursive taking at least 10 years to go public with a new vaxx? That kind of speed? Right.
Read up on Event 201. We are at this phase of the plot:
"We are at war with C0VID. Vaxxes were are best weapon. Everyone did their best, but there were issues. Everyone that was harmed by vaxxination is a war hero and should be celebrated. "
Except that the vaxx harmed are not war heros. Most of them are being ignored and further harmed.
I just heard from a friend this morning: she called saying her husband had had a stroke 2 weeks ago, lost the use of his left side, is in rehab where a good but not complete recovery is expected. He's 80 yrs old so it might not be vaxx related, but I know they've had at least 4 shots so I am very suspicious, they are not.
At some point-- when it becomes acceptable to talk about these things-- I suspect they will acknowledge vaxx injuries and call them "casualties of war" or something of that sort . That was the plan in Event 201. Not sure when that will happen though.
My BIL is vaxx injured. Shingles that became neuropathy. His wife acknowledges it, but will still get the latest booster if her doctor tells her to. Crazy.
And by some miracle, those of us who are not vaxxed continue to be healthy, at least faring no worse than the vaxxed when it comes to covid. You would think they would clue in to that amazing little detail.
I have a veterinary nurse friend who was "on the fence" about the advisability of getting the Covid jabs, and I warned her repeatedly, with links to great substack writers on the topic, NOT to get the poison jabs. She ended up not having a choice as her employer decided to require them, including boosters. She let me know two months ago that the ONLY people she knows who got Covid (and who keep on getting it) are jabbed. She meets a ton of people as she works in a very busy veterinary practice and also runs an animal humane nonprofit. She has had nothing but health issues since taking the jabs (and she looks as if she's aged 10 years overnight), and she reports that her colleagues at work are the same -- always someone out sick with Covid. Yes, some people are noticing that the unjabbed are not getting sick. I myself don't know of anyone unjabbed who got Covid (or who appeared to age 10 years overnight!). However, my unjabbed friends and I are flabbergasted (and saddened) by the number of our jabbed friends and acquaintances who are constantly sick with something or other and who look like hell.
Yeah, I've noticed that. They are all looking rather the worse for wear and most seem to be doing poorly a lot of the time. One thing after another (i.e. broken immune system). And they ask me how I'm doing, I say, "Great!" and they all seem strangely deflated. Misery loves company, I guess. And they can't hide from the sudden deaths in the news, not forever. They must be in a state of silent panic. I'm unjabbed and got the flu last July, probably covid, but who knows? I sure af didn't take their lousy test. It was a nasty bug, I followed my mish-mash protocol, all over within four days and I feel the stronger for it.
I pretty much agree. I know a few people, unvaxxed who got covid in 2020, 2021 and 2022, all seniors oldest being in their 90's. Most recovered just about as you would from the flu. I do know 2 people who died of covid although I can't rule out treatment, one 59 and the other 72. These were acquaintances and I didn't know any details.
Having said that, I haven't had covid. I had a cold/sore throat earlier this year that I thought was but I got a blood test for antibodies 2 months later and nothing.
The vaxxed people I know get covid repeatedly and as you say seem to have constant health problems. Some do look aged. I am certain these people regret their decision. When asked how I'm doing, I always say 'just great' and it's the truth.
Moderna CEO Becnel helped build the Wuhan lab when he was at bioniuerex.
Not only can you lay the deaths of covid engineered virus at these evil lying shits feet, you can lay withholding early treatment that mitigates severe symptoms and saves lives at their feet too. Not to mention all the babies lost and who the hell knows what it's doing to fertility and DNA. This is the biggest crime against humanity I have ever seen. I won't forget it. Ever. No matter how many news cycles go by or no matter how may frickin nukes Russia and NATO/US launch in their fight to the death Ukraine proxy war.
Trust me, I won't forget either. I have spent the last few years filled with dread, waiting for those I love who are vaxxed to get sick and die. So far, one nephew is dead from the vaxx, and his father is vaxx injured. I know there will be more.
This just isn't hurting those who are vaxxed; it is hurting all their loved ones who know what can happen. That's why I say it's Satanic. It's hurt everyone.
I am so sorry to hear about your personal losses, shibumi. I cannot imagine the sorrow and impotent rage I would feel if this happened in my family. And yet it quite possibly may someday. It's out of my hands, I can only pray.
I feel as you do - and I can hardly bear the thought of them getting away with it. Will this atrocity ever be fully revealed, and these villains brought to justice?
I'm running for a basin.
Lol you beat me to it! I posted my puking emojis and then saw your comment. Too funny!
LOL
🤮🤮🤮
The "speed of science" is soooo fast that we little people can't even begin to comprehend. ;)
We "little people" were long since deemed incapable of comprehending. Anything. Which is why the big lie goes on, and on, and on....
Yes, well, they're right about a certain percentage, aren't they.
Moving faster than the speed of science is great for business. It lets you make a good profit before your customers know your product is crap.
WHOS “science”?
I laughed too, and immediately knew it was destined to become the stuff of memes.
I noticed that too. Undoubtedly, I'll hear quoted 'the speed of science' by continuing covid-aholic acquaintances.
I wonder where the "speed of science" fits in with "believing the science". It's a metaphysical conundrum.
It's akin to explaining the double slit experiment by using "common sense". Good luck with that ...
It's the speed of theoretical science and cursory experimentation i.e. no validation or verification, nor applicability to the real world.
Boeing went through the ringer for years, planes grounded, share price plummetted, for 346 deaths. Tragic as they were, the planes did exactly what they were supposed to for 99.99% of the time. There was no "speed of science" for that investigation
Alas, they got promoted.
"disposable Pfizer wench" had me snickering. Perfect. You have a way with words, Gary.
BTW did you catch Rob Roos on Tucker Carlson yesterday? Tulsi Gabbard was on, too. Talk about speed. This stuff needs to get out muy pronto.
you must wear a mask and get vaxxed and stay 6 feet away from ME to protect ME.
and oh, btw, you can’t try ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to protect you, juswantedyoutoknow.
And don't ever visit grandma again or you'll kill her leaving grandma to die alone anyway.
Why doesn’t grandma get a choice in the matter? That was the cruelest and stupidest part of the pandemic.
It was unforgivable. Just terrible.
I'm really curious which marketing firm was paid and how much they were paid to come up with the, "What are you, a horse?"
I think it was likely part of the 50 million dollar contract the CDC had with Weber Shandwick.
Seriously, I think they let the interns take over that one. Pretty lame and not even funny.
I remember a conversation where I told my “friend” that I wouldn’t be vaccinating my kids against this. She accused me of “being ok with killing grandma” while in The Same Conversation I had told her how upsetting it was that grandma (my mom) and I can’t see each other cause of the US/Canada border vax mandates! Grandma doesn’t want the bs vax either!
Like HELLO!!!!!!
When I see her now she looks down and acts surprised and awkward that I’m
walking by.
We used to be pretty good friends.
It's so bizarre how with Covid adults suddenly thought it perfectly ok to force the young to take an experimental vax with virtually no benefit for them in order to "save" the elderly. It's totally backwards.
Sacrificing your children to Moloch is apparently a thing.
I'm sorry, smoke. I lost a couple of friends, too. And most of my family. And all the king's horses and all the king's men aren't going to fix things, I'm afraid.
Pro-vax friends turned away as if from a silent-but-deadly when I would mention supplements such as NAC and Beta Glucans, etc.. Vit. D, zinc, yeah, those are okay, approved by Science. Anything else was smelling of heterodoxy.
Much of this was also a product of the shabby lie that was the claim that individuals could be spreading even if they were asymptomatic. Basic epidemiology states that this almost NEVER happens.
ONE BIG LIE! I had to go to the dentist yesterday and they’re STILL taking temperatures and masking! It’s insane! I have a Fake Mask. Of course I said something, but when it comes to cancer (removed 2 mos. ago) and tooth surgery, I have no choice. It really pisses me off!
Sounds like "trust the science!" Wear a mask, only to take it off and have a doctor shove his hands and face in your mouth.
I relish in the fact that I have a Fake Mask and can breath freely. I only have it for emergencies, like surgery to save my life. Or a broken arm-lol!
I wanted to speak to my surgeon at my follow up visit two weeks after my surgery. I asked him if I could take my mask off…nope! Pissed me off BAD! Where is the human connection after a traumatic experience? It’s despicable!
Find new doctors immediately
In Commifornia???? Now that’s funny Doctor Underwood, with due respect, sir.
I once had a doctor deliver a cancer diagnosis where my appointment was less than 5 minutes long. I didn't have the choice of another doctor. Over the approx 5 years that I saw him, he turned out to be fairly easy to work with and a good doctor in lots of ways. Fortunately, my cancer was indolent, rare enough that I could be almost as informed as anyone else including the specialists. I was also able to put off treatment until a quite patient friendly treatment option was published.
Five minutes long to deliver the news that your world's about to be turned upside down? Great, just great. My tit woman, the best in the west, once made me wait half an hour, when I had made an appointment, so she could deliver the bad news to a woman who was about to find out that she had breast cancer. I told her, take your time, Doc. I was just fine with waiting.
This. I never bought this but it sure as hell made it easy to control people. Test positive? Get locked in your house. In my state, they were telling anyone (asymptomatic) who tested positive for Covid that they must be locked in a room away from family and pets for two weeks and that the department of health would be doing daily check ups to make sure you remained in your own prison.
Remember when they were putting ankle monitors (same ones used for criminals for home confinement) on healthy people who tested positive for Covid putting them under house arrest?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8539317/Kentucky-couple-house-arrest-refusing-sign-self-COVID-19-quarantine-order.html
ALL ILLEGAL! STOP TESTING! DO NOT COMPLY!
It was probably a false positive. On another note, they were treated more harshly than a mugger or carjacker would have been in many American cities.
Oh, I was told you can spread while asymptomatic...unless you are vaccinated to "reduce severity", then your asymptomatic spread is impossible. That started right around when most people were realizing the vaxxed were coming down with multiple repeat infections. They wanted to cling to the "you have to get vaxxed because you can still spread while asymptomatic" yet needed to spin that the vaxxed were clearly not viral dead ends to "the vax doesn't stop infection but it keeps your infection asymptomatic so you still won't transmit even if you catch it". And hope no one notices the hypocrisy.
So "you must get vaccinated to reduce your covid infections to asymptomatic ones that can't spread the virus, because without it you will spread the virus even if asymptomatic.". So many Pfizer trolls in Way of the Bern on reddit flooding us with this weapons grade balonium.
Totally agree Edward Teach. That was the thing that really got me too. But you know, if they hadn’t propagated that lie, then there would’ve been no basis for their ridiculous insistence on testing perfectly healthy, asymptomatic people! Which was a large part of the foundation of the entire thing.
The "stay at home" poster is absolutely real. Amplifier.org is a paid propaganda company that specializes in visual art and is exclusively employed by government and government-adjacent orgs using social justice messaging.
I guarantee you've seen them before. I know some of their posters were all over Puerto Rico and they've saturated NYC in the last few elections. They're AOC's art department.
AOC's art department 😂😂😂
And TYT are her script department.
And I think she was originally fabricated at that South Korea lab that does the robots that talk to old people and painted to look like what the design team decided brown Western women look like.
Wow, you're on fire here Guttermouth. Keep going.
Fun fact: the phrase "look at that ass, look at that big juicy booty" translates to "outstanding college entrance exams, sufficiently anorexic" in Korean.
GM, you're on a roll! Have to do in another leg when this one heals to keep you tied to the computer. Need all the laughs we can get.
Paging Jeff Gillooly
I'm crying...
Delicious.
🤣
I loooove the attention.
OMG I’m dying...🤣🤣🤣
Interesting!!! I didn’t know, thanks!
"get vaccinated to prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed" this was frequently said in Canada. Noone focused however on the fact that the socialized healthcare system is ossified and inflexible and unable to cope with a crises. If they had a free market health care system, there would be no risk of the hospitals being overhwhelmed
Except the hospitals were never overwhelmed here, many many firsthand testimonies have confirmed they were emptier than normal, including a nurse I know who is not against the covid narrative. Added to which they are always overwhelmed during flu season. I went to emerg during flu season in 2009 in Toronto and had to be put in the hall because there were no rooms.
Stay away from hospitals and treat yourself!
Here's the thing about "overwhelmed." The "2 weeks to flatten the curve" was in March/ April of 2020 in the US IIRC.
In November of 2020, theoretically after the 2 weeks, the hospitals in my area WERE overwhelmed so much so that my husband had C0VID pneumonia-- they never told him he had pneumonia and they simply sent him home because they had no beds. He was home a week before his doctor, via a Zoom visit, had me call an ambulance. We sent him to a different hospital that admitted him for a few days.
Moral of the story? They deliberately effed this up and have broken many, many people.
Where I live they would have tested him, stuck him in a COVID ward, intubated him, destroyed his kidneys, and let him die.
We have been very careful to avoid hospitals in our little family.
We were VERY lucky. Big hospital rejected him [no beds], we ended up at a smaller hospital. He would NOT have let them intubate him; he knew. Ended up getting antibody plasma and a few other things. Is fine now. Thank God.
Very happy you ended up in a reasonable place. In the larger hospitals, you may be unable to keep them from intubating you, they just do what they want, including listing people as "DNR" without their consent.
Thanks be to God that he made it through!
The Canadian healthcare system was F'd before covid.
It couldn't cope with anything.
Women having miscarriages stuck on gurneys in the hall at Foothills (Calgary) -- no beds. On any random day. F'd indeed.
I was lucky to live in small towns with hospitals that could generally manage, though they still did stupid things. 'Cause budget.
And people in the US want government health care.
Dual citizen here; moved back to USA after ~20 years in Canada, March 4, '20. (Yes right before TSHTF.) So I've seen and lived 'em both.
The health care system here is broken too. But as for wanting government health care, it's the same as why city people vote for the Democrats. The system they depend on to stay alive is so complex that they do not understand it; so they vote for Rubes that promise to take care of them.
Which of course is impossible; the Rubes know even less about the system than the people do. All they know how to do is promise; they do that to keep power.
So, health care system is broken and getting worse; let's vote for the Rubes who promise to fix it. Out of the frying pan, into the fire...
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The only thing that changes is the amount of power the Rubes in government have. Always more, never enough.
🎯
In the US with an open border our schools and healthcare system will be overwhelmed and it has nothing to do with Covid. Cloward and Piven is being played out in real time.
I think it’s also the Kalergi Plan, which can fall under Cloward Piven: OVERWHELM THE SYSTEM!
So overwhelmed nurses had to do dance routines.
I know it was ridiculous. The degree of mismanagement ,error, miscalculation , ineptitude , incompetence, malfeasance was heroic! LIke a greek tragedy. All the world health authorities used those models from the imperiod college which were wrong. Then they all followed mitigation guidance from the chinese communists which were wrong. ANd treatment protocols which were wrong. And these people were so arrogant and ideological they couldnt ever admit how wrong they were . Then the whole thing was weaponized and used to punish the current regimes political enemies
When I saw people treating the imperial gibberish (and another out of WA I can't recall at the moment) as if it were real was the moment when I knew the BS would get real, real deep.
I like that "imperial gibberish" It really was and is all total nonsense. Lying about everything. denying reality. Venal, meanspirited, vindictive, anti civilizational.
those stickers on the floor, the relentless propaganda, "safe and effective..."
it was like thick acid diesel smoke the stung my eyes and nauseated me as soon as those masks went on, I knew we were in deep shit.
As a jewish kid from a religious home growing up in the 70s , I went to an after gov school religious program and the teachers and rabbis warned us that someday what happened in Germany would happen again somewhere over and and over maybe even in the US. ANd here we are.
Im sure that if we werent a huge continental nation with 350 million people and a strong tradition of giving the middle finger to authority, if we were like say a small landlocked country like Austria with less than 10 million p eople, Im sure we would have been rounding up unvaxxed people in camps by now.
These people were wrong about everything and the wrecked people's lives and caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people, prob more.
Tens of thousands doesn’t come close, I’m afraid. Probably a half million, so far, in the US alone. CDC MMWR indicates 7-8000 excess deaths per week at this point in time. Life insurance data corroborates. VAERS corroborates. In my case personal experience (17 dead or injured personally known individuals) corroborates. My family lost 53 members in Austria and Hungary during the perpetrators last Great War and mass murder. My ears heard the echoes as soon as Gates got on the MSM bullhorn and started yelling “Vaxx now!”
You are right, when they announced the vax mandates I actually thought I was going to have to leave my job and Northern NJ. I made plans,,, did an inventoiry of all my camping and survival gear, waterm, fuel, food, ammo... Its a mass totalitarian psychosis based on racial hygiene. Its amazing to me how NYC and northeast have been ground zero for this worldwide mass psychotic breakdown. Australia, NZ, Canada, now China went batshit crazy.
Well, having recently had to spend an entire day (a Monday) on a gurney in a corridor of one of Seattle's top hospitals because of lack of space, and had to wait an entire month for a follow-up appointment with my PCP, I think you're a tad optimistic.
in the US we have worst of every world of healthcare. We have a huge regulatory state that constrains and hamstrings the health care system from being innovative , more efficient and cheaper. We have a burdensome tax , system, massive liability problems / tort risk. ANd then we have a crony corrupt health insurance system.
It’s BAD! I just had cancer removed. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days after surgery. I was scared to death, not of the cancer, but of the hospital! I cannot stress this enough! I did an Advanced Directive and had it notarized to put in my record. NO vaccines NO blood transfusions NO Remdesivir NO ventilator…never in my life would I have done this until NOW! And I won’t even tell you how much they got the insurance company for. I was SHOCKED!
My distrust of it all means I would worry that despite the advanced directions and list of no-nos, I wouldn't trust them to follow it.
I hear you! I PRAYED days before I was admitted.
Yes, and the fact that we have to go through licensed gatekeepers for medication, and then they aren't even allowed to prescribe appropriate medication, makes our system worse than useless in the case of communicable disease.
AVOID!
Covid hospitalizations are extremely low in Washington state right now, and total hospital capacity has never been impacted by covid.

Overwhelmed hospitals? How? They sent people home with no treatment for the most part. It was always an obvious scare tactic.
Yep. Here in Washington we actually LOST capacity thanks to our idiotic governor mandating the jabs.

the wash state gov was like a poster child for delusional hysterical virtue signaling.
Inslee was top 5 worst governor during covid, easy.
He's somehow managed to get worse afterward, following Newsom and his idiotic 'no new gas-powered cars' declaration.

Washington state will follow California and prohibit the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035, Jay Inslee, the state governor, said.
California regulators on Thursday moved forward with a landmark plan to phase out the sale of gas cars over the next 13 years in the US’s largest auto market.
The new policy requires 100% of new sales of passenger cars, trucks and SUVs in the state to be powered by electricity or hydrogen by 2035, with one-fifth allowed to be plug-in hybrids.
The specific regulations for Washington state are yet to be created and the public will have the chance to weigh in, the Seattle Times reported.

"We're gonna do it but have no idea how."
The NY gov said they would ban gas cars also. Hardly a dumber policy could be imagined. The climate cultists are raging.
Have you read any of CJ hopkins stuff?

Same here in NY. They just can't figure it out here. It's a cunundrum.
I am, and plan to continue to be, a selfish bastard when it come to *my* and my family's health, safety, and liberty. Sorry, but it's the truth, I do *not* care about someone else's poor choices and inability to do their selfish duty to worry about their own health and safety. No, we are not, and never have been, "in this together." Herds go over cliffs together.
God knows 'they' aren't looking out for you or your family's health -- at least you are.
People forget that "Flattening the curve” didn’t mean covid would necessarily infect or kill fewer people, but that lengthening the time period over which the crisis occurred would help hospitals handle covid without being pushed to the brink. But hospitals were never close to being overrun. In fact, inpatient admission rates went down in every month:

Truth is C19 damn near killed the 'healthcare industry.' Which, come to think of it, might not have been the worst that could happen...
Exactly! From March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, hospitals lost an estimated $202.6 billion. Without patients, hundreds of thousands of employees were laid off or furloughed, including nurses and other medical staff. In some cases, entire hospitals were forced to close.
Maybe destroying the entire healthcare industry was just one part of their apparent desire to destroy pretty much everything.
Once again, our Bad Cat insightfully cuts through the propaganda to reveal the horrific truth. Prediction: the Covidian fascists will next pivot to Climate/ Eco fascism.
Just look at Agenda 30. I have a book called Agenda 21...it’s already begun.
I was just reading that book again waiting at the lab for my wife... it is a bit repetitive but indeed, everything she predicted is happening.
Thankfully the Normies are starting to wake up. Too many red pills, one after the other; sooner or later they take one and WOW! 'How long has this been going on??'
Reminds me of the scene from “Field of Dreams” when the brother-in-law says, “When did all these ball players get here?”
ESG scores and the digital dollar incoming. Just look at Paypal!
