What’s interesting throughout all of this is that we are barraged with only one set of facts and version of the truth in the US. As public health differs, albeit slightly at times, country to country, suddenly their version no longer counts.

An expert with an alternative viewpoint is suddenly a quack or conspiracy theorist. It’s absurd. The most misguided phrases these days are “the science is settled” and “safe and effective”.

And science is littered with examples where free thinkers come up with new ideas and discoveries outside the generally accepted science. In today’s “science by popular vote”, there’s a long term downstream impact that is not being realized as propaganda rules the way

It is not going to get better with STEM majors becoming more plentiful and mediocre.

the 'authority' prevails (quoths from ethical skeptic)

what the authority does is state hypotheses as fact, and deny you the inalienable right to ask: "what is the test criteria and probability that if i accept your hypothesis i accept a fail statement?'

when you ask the authority condemns you as passing misinformation to ask how much power their fact has!

question the authority is called 'domestic terror' in communist and fascist locales.

U_engr - it is the very fact that facts and news are so heavily filtered that make the lie so very obvious. At least to those willing to think.

simple question:

when was the last time anyone saw the side of censorship be "the side of science"?

Howdy el gato malo - LOVE your work, or at least that of gatito bueno, but we also need to hear the bad stuff as well. Seriously, I do and, while I'm new to it, so far I certainly thank you for your site and your frequent humor.

My response is: how many decades have the Climate Change "scientists" been muzzling the true story and falsifying the "science"? This is just a different iteration of the same garbage but its now on steroids.

Actually, it isn't the science that's wrong, it's the representation of the science and the manipulation/muzzling of honest debate.

Sorry for continuing my monologue here, but I suppose we could also ask Galileo Galilei and many others about suppressing the facts as well. It's been going on for a while and we definitely need to struggle against the suppression of debate.

What will happen when key sectors of the economy do not have enough workers due to covid vax tyranny?

How long before these sectors are unable to perform their function and the consequences have real world/daily living impact?

The workers who do not wish to be vaxxed at this point most likely will not comply and will walk. Has this entered into the managerial classes calculations? I doubt it, as at the moment they are pretty high from the power grab.

But time is not on their side, as the effects of the experimental vaccine become more pronounced and difficult to explain away (as does its impact on the health of the population). Add in the variance of different approaches that work better (Norway)(ivermectin) (no masking) and the narrative becomes very hard to maintain. When they sense that they do not control the levers of power (they do not realize that they currently do not and they/we are running on inertia), it is then they truly become dangerous to personal liberty and freedom. Cue Australia.

I don't think the ruling class in the USA has the will. They have more guns and most of the money, but they have no heart or vision. Think of the true legend tyrants in history and in caparison these fools have no game. That does not mean they will not at least give it a go.

excuse me mr micah, but are you saying that is not already happening?

because i i think maybe it is.

the bad kitty said something about "this being a feature and not a bug if one's goal is to cultivate dependence and make capitalism look broken" but we all know what a "mr cynical paws" he can be...

micah6vs8 - I see only two short-term out-comes from de-funding the police/fire/EMS and forcing resignations/firings from the military, medical, educational (etc.) systems: 1) those industries will fail and fall into oblivion and/or 2) the elite establishment will re-fill the vacancies with their own personal "plants" to eagerly do the elite's bidding.

My HOPE is that those who leave those industries will bounce back quickly with alternative, highly competitive, businesses just as Rumble, Gab and Substack have done. I would love to find highly skilled, Christian, freedom-loving alternatives in the educational and medical professions. It'll be far more difficult to duplicate that in the law enforcement, and military professions. The people that will be available to fill ALL those positions will be far more engaged and productive (and trustworthy!!) than the blind, sheep-like automatons.

It may depend upon how well we can resist their ultimate goal of commandeering our money and movement. Need a trend toward local banking institutions and small businesses, and away from large medical establishments. I’m afraid large hospital corporations have had a special function in this debacle. Lastly, we need more cats. There are far fewer lions among us than I had estimated. FAR.

Gaye - I agree completely, but, honestly, I'm not sure it will matter for too much longer. I truly believe the Rapture (the Harpazo) of Christian Believers is just around the corner. No one knows the day or the hour, not the angels in heaven nor even the Son of Man, but we are to watch the seasons and be ready. It's all falling into place with amazing speed.

In the meantime, YES, we need more cats! ( both young'ns aka: Gatitos Bueno and the full grown Gato aka: el León Bueno complete with their full grown teeth and claws! :D )

I, too wish for essentially a parallel system to develop for us to have options. Unfortunately, the state cannot allow such a thing to exist. With the technological tools at their disposal and the precedent of emergency powers that never lapse, let’s just say it looks like a tough road ahead.

One solution that I am personally thrilled with > https://www.dpcare.org/

Another solution that is a bit harder would be Murray Rothbard's "The Anatomy of the State".

I looked at those links for about six months before I made the call. Now, I wonder why I waited.

It is a great verse indeed. That's kinda why split out the 6:8 from the "Micah" so other, perhaps busier, folk might notice it too. !! :)

This will most certainly make the already stressed healthcare system implode as well as destroy what is left of small businesses .

Way before the age of SarsCov2 mass hysteria , hospitals were already horrendously understaffed, & often full to capacity on critical care wards depending on the time of year.

Healthcare facilities mandating their workers to take a ‘study intervention’ under the guise of keeping their patients safe, should be called out for their hypocrisy, since ultimately staff shortages have a direct negative impact on patient outcomes.

They don’t care, & it’s all part of the plan.

readers beware: aboriquagato/ el gato malo primarily spreads disinformation, cherry picking and misrepresenting in most all their posts. If you search for and read this article from Norway, there is no sign of this person, idea, or group being censored. Camilla Stoltenberge clearly says it's just a theory, "But she conceded that there as yet no research had been done to back up this theory."
