Agreed. I remember telling my kids back in March of 2020 that there was no way people would put up with "lockdown" for more than a couple weeks. I so vastly overestimated my fellow Americans, it was truly depressing. Finding communities like this has re-established my belief in mankind, but still, what is it that separates us? Why are so many so easily fooled and led, even at risk of their own and their children's lives? I don't understand this, and I don't think I'm so different or special; I just don't walk through life with blinders on.

As horrible as all the covid theater is, I have to say what surprised me most was how so many people just lay right down for this and didn't fight back. Australia and Canada have also shocked me. I've often pondered why I didn't buy in to any of it from the very beginning. Maybe because I've always been a realist who questioned everything and looked at all sides of things. With Covid, almost immediately I felt that things didn't add up, what I saw/observed/read didn't comport with what "they" were trying to make us believe. So for me, it shifted from the virus to trying to figure out what the purpose was behind it, why on earth this game was being played with us all.

It's not all of us! What I am seeing and experiencing is horrible - the public health policy decisions have been driven by public opinion polls. Whose opinions? Certainly not any rational persons...HELP

Glad to hear that.....are you Australia or Canada? How much of the population is opposed to all that is going on?

I am in Canada. Most people I know don’t believe in all the restrictions but have been quite compliant. It has gotten so bad that as of today, unvaccinated people over the age of 12 are no longer able to travel by train or plane… there are protests about once a month in the major cities but there is never any media coverage so it doesn’t gain traction.

I am in a group here in my little city - about 150 or 200 of us, and we are organizing for how to push back, and how to get the word out to as many of those who can be reached as we can. I am hopeful that there are similar groups all across the western world, which is where this crackdown on us seems to be concentrated, that are trying to figure out in little groups how to reach people. Someone in the group posted this video related to it, and a good reminder to try not to become to frustrated with those who still seem hypnotised:

Here is a little good news from my town. The unjabbed daughter of a friend is a med student at the local state university. A new rule this autumn was, she had to pay for and take 3 PCR tests per week to attend classes. This was prohibitively expensive (and, of course, unfair). So, her mom organized a petition that many of us signed on to, and the Dean of the Medical School agreed to change the policy to one free PCR test per week. I know, I know, it is still discriminatory and unscientific to require the unjabbed to take the test -- but it is a kind of victory and my friend's daughter can continue her studies (at least for now). I was pessimistic that the university would listen to our complaints. The result really gave me hope that our protests might be effective.

The purpose of COVID policy in 2020 was to get Trump out of office. Most D's can't fathom that because they see their team as the good guys. Some I's and R's also got taken by the media circus. In 2021 the purpose seems to be continued political control and slowing down the economy for climate goals.
