I like when cult members pretend that we had a vacation and it wasn't just your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness being crushed by totalitarian philanthropaths bent on contorting the world to their own dystopian vision by deploying coercion tactics designed for torturing prisoners of war.
Exactly! I lost my job of almost ten yrs in a retirement home. Half my family won't speak to me including my 36 yr old daughter and my 12 yr old grandie. 😢
In Canuckistan I was banned from flying to another province to go care for my mom who was going through lung cancer.
I am sorry to hear about your estrangement from your daughter and 12 year old grandie. I know precisely the heart ache you are experiencing. I have also been shut out of my daughter and son in laws "family" because of this stupid virus shots, opinions (I am a retired nurse with a lot of science and chemistry knowledge.
The gyms were closed for months, as was everything that wasn't the grocery or liquor stores. When things reopened they demanded masks. My employer tried to fire me for refusing the shot. I didn't see my family for years because of Canada's insane travel policy.
But yeah no lockdown okay whatever you say bud 👌
This is what narcissistic personality disorder looks like on a mass scale. "The horrible thing I did was in your best interests, and if it wasn't it never happened."
People get all wrapped up about ideology but really if we just filtered entry into positions of responsibility with basic psych tests we'd fix about 90% of the problem.
Yeah but WTF.......Justin Trudeau changed in 2015, like a whole different person. And now he is “surprised when we know what he did?” I mean the goofy look on his face when caught and doesn’t know what to say. It’s like he doesn’t know how people react at all and wasn’t expecting them to and the out right lies. Then again surprise when confronted. It’s so weird.
And people like the prat in the post will simultaneously claim the lockdowns both worked and were necessary, then go write a moronic and glib post on Twitter about how we never had a lockdown.
These people are unbelievably stupid; I am so mad that they still manage to make me angry.
Even when confronted with the ADMISSION by Pfizer's VP that they never tested to see if the vax stopped transmission and Brix's admission that "we were HOPING it would stop transmission" people still won't give up their "belief" that it does.
The vast majority of humans truly are a cult crazed bunch of jab junkies.
Tell that to my daughter who was in kindergarten at the time. She came home from school one Friday in March of 2020 and didn’t get to see the inside of a classroom again until the Fall of 2021. Definitely wasn’t due to any sort of lockdowns, though.
That was the first example I thought of when I read this imbecile's post (and I don't even have children of my own). The sheer stupidity of these IDIOTS and the slobbering devotion to collectivism is just disgraceful. And weird as hell.
I thought it was just me. I went off on my bf’s friend whose wife and him got jabbed. He probably hates my guts now...and I don’t care. We lost our jobs and these people act like nothing happened.
I pray to my Father in heaven for strength. It’s so difficult for me to have patience some days.
The Lord is with you sister. Jesus said: "In this world you will have tribulation, but take heart, for I have overcome this world".
So take heart. As 1 Peter 4 reminds us "12Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy." What are the sufferings of Christ?
Unjust suffering. For like a lamb before his shearers is silent, so was our Lord. He was silent in the face of His accusers. He is The Way, The TRUTH, and The Life!
And you know the truth! Not just the truth about The Lord, but the truth about this disease. And, you were right! You are still right. The TRUTH is STILL on your side. And yet you suffer. Take heart. Rejoice! James tells us "Count it all joy when you encounter various trials for the testing of your faith produces patience!" Why patience? Because God is patient! He is "long suffering, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance". Remember, "love is patient, love is kind...". Jesus rewarded his servant in Matthew 24 who was patient! "Who then is a faithful and wise servant..." The one who waited PATIENTLY for their Master to return.
And The Master master WILL return! Hallelujah!
Take heart dear sister. This life is but a vapor, here for a moment then gone tomorrow. Set your eyes on Jesus. Our redemption draws near.
Thank YOU! I really needed to hear those beautiful Bible passages. How right you are. Sometimes it’s a very lonely place to be. And I know Jesus suffered, and was lonely more times than I can fathom. God be with you!
Glory be to God! I'm so happy to hear that. :) Keep running the race. We will meet one day before our Lord!
"And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare for me a table in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over. Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
You are loved. The Lord will prepare a table for you. You are favored. You are beloved, the apple of His eye.
As the hymnist wrote:
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
Thank you for the blessing sister! May The Lord be with you always as well.
Just like Peter 4:12 stated, “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you”
Oh, I'm still working on getting over my rage and wonder if I ever will. Just when I think it's dissipated, I get into a conversation with someone about masks, lockdowns, shots, how our relationships with our families and friends are shredded, the loved-ones we've lost (even onto death) due to the jabs, or some other aspect of this psyop, and it comes roiling up to the surface again. We're all suffering to some degree from PTSD. I guess only the willfully blind are able to retain their equanimity.
I am profoundly saddened by the deceit and propaganda. In my extended family, I am the only one in my generation who did not take the Jab. My siblings and cousins are highly educated, and some are truly intelligent and they all fell for it. I pray for an awakening.
From one Quilt Lady to another: “ good on you!” During “lockdown” I kept myself busy making “ COVID Quarantine Quilts” for my family! ( Quilts 101 with Jelly Rolls) 😉
I understand. My family has been deceased (a blessing) for many years-luck of the draw, I guess. I can’t even IMAGINE my family going along with this insanity.
And sometimes it’s a very lonely place to be. I can imagine that for some people, it’s like losing a family or family members to this insanity.
Stay close to God. He WILL guide you. Just ask Him and be open!
You said it PERFECTLY! That is exactly what many of us are going through Grandma Bear! And we get angry or sad, because we’re frustrated and know the Truth.
Mine is not so much hatred as anger and frustration... how could so many people idle their brains and park in neutral? I know so many ( many, many) smart people who did not ever question one single aspect of this “ pandemic.”
Have you seen the video of this “mad” German scientist who proposes COVID lockdown measures as a paradigm to address climate change?? I can’t post it here... I’m happy to send it to you.
Severe stress can change one's Values or Morals. In Famine or restricted food environs, is it wrong to steal food to eat?
Herd mentality. Too panicked to question. Relentless propaganda. Fear of non-conformity. Faced with losses of resources, living conditions, social status. PSYOP.
Too true, I am thankful that I can look at the situation through the eyes of a Social Scientist. It is as if I am studying what is happening as an outside observer, although I have also been affected in various ways. That helps me to stay calm.
How could so many people indulge their cowardice and sanctimony to the point of tossing away basic human freedom? The disloyalty to this most basic gift along with the demand that others do the same have traumatized me, I think. Because? Respiratory infection. Stunning.
Were I two or three decades younger, I might have time to get over it. At my age? I doubt it very much.
I’m angry but does anyone else also feel worried? Im concerned these sleepwalkers are going to allow yet another round of this chaos come the next “pandemic”. Too many people still wearing masks outside, no one questioning what’s happened. They are the majority in my Cali world. I thought by now most people would finally see the light, stand up and say enough is enough. No, not happening. Many are complicit, and self righteous - doing what they’re told for the common good. And will continue following what their told.
Yes, I'm worried that all those around me who are still wearing metaphoric blinders pushed as tightly over their eyes as the mask (sometimes still plural) over their faces will become the same vicious covid attack dogs as they were before the minute the next ginned up "deadly" virus or something else is hyped hysterically on the TV and social media. I live in NYC, so I can share your California pain.
But that is also part of my rage--anger at what has been perpetrated, at those who have helped by their stupidity and willful blindness to perpetrate it and likely will again in the future, and white-hot fury at loved ones who continue to blindly play the game of Covid Roulette that I fear will take them from me.
Yes, thanks! I heard his story yesterday. I empathize with him completely. We are far, few in the Bay Area. Or that’s how it appears. We def need some sort of gathering together here to share resources, build strength and confidence and keep our sanity (I’m thinking). We need to continue speaking out and putting our foot down as he has. Love this guy. Impressed.
Or as a somewhat wealthy acquaintance recently said “ well, it ( the lockdown) really wasn’t that bad”.... after I stopped my tongue from hemorrhaging , I responded “ easy for you when your Country Club in your gated community delivers dinner to you.” This is a person who remains double masked in public. Princeton graduate.
Oh, yes, all the people I knew and used to think were decent, compassionate human beings, the ones who trumpeted their social consciences and railed against capitalism, who within seconds after the psyop began took off from the city to their country houses to escape the unwashed masses, posted little essays on Facebook about how the "lockdowns" had given them more family time and a respite from the hustle and bustle of work and commute, along with photos of them with their cute masks coordinated with their outfit working from their nice big homes, reporting a "socially-distanced, masked up outdoor barbecue (because of course they all had spacious yards and houses), and pooh-poohed any concerns about the people suffering from the lockdowns as merely about the "economy" (a no-no I guess for these anti-capitalists), and then praising the glories of Big Pharma and the righteousness of forcing that highly profitable and historically criminal industry's products on everyone, while retaining their "anti-capitalist" bona fides by lamenting that all those poor souls in Africa and other third-world countries didn't have enough access to spikeshots, seriously worrying that opening playgrounds for children in NYC might cause them to catch this bad cold and demanding further study before allowing it, while being completely satisfied with a pushing shockingly poorly tested jabs on those children who were at no risk for illness. Yeah, those people, for whom I suspect I will retain some vestiges of contempt forever, even if I retain any relationship with them.
Princeton produced one of the worst presidents in our history, who was PRESDIENT OF PRINCETON before he was POTUS. Woodrow Wilson is easily in the top 5 worst presidents in our history. So I have retrospectively lost respect for Princeton in 1905 when they made him their president.
the elites grow in ivy league uni’s. They are masters of knowing what is best for others, no matter the cost to others, as long as their comforts are not impacted
She, graduated in 76. But yes, stupid. Anyone my age who played in the dirt, never used hand sanitizer, had very few inoculations, survived measles, chicken pox, the Asian Flu, etc etc should have never signed onto this idiocy.
As the vaccinators start to gloss over their many sins, ask for forgiveness and amnesty, we must remember that all over the world, anyone who dared raise a finger in protest and/or did not comply was threatened, fined, imprisoned, harassed etc.
To REALLY stop and for lockdowns to really work this is what would need to happen (my point is going to show it's impossible):
Everyone would have to isolate for like 90 days. NO essential workers. So, no food delivery, no medical supplies, no fuel deliveries, no grocery shopping. No mail. I mean, TRUE isolation. True lockdown. How does that even work? It's impossible. What about the sick people.
This also isn't possible because police still need to work, firemen, Emergency medical services...plus there are some things that just can't be left alone (like a power grid, or nuclear plants, or military facilities). People HAVE To eat. When things break (like a sewage pipe) humans have to go out and repair them. Or a power outage. Or your fridge breaks and all your food goes bad. True lockdown isolation to stop a respiratory virus is just impossible if one thinks through it.
People would end up starving and going insane. The mental illness just from the "lockdowns" we had was terrible.
Are all the people who want to commit crimes going to stop? Nope. So you have to have some sort of security presence. Public or private.
Even then, the compliance of this would not work. Plus, EVEN if all of these things were to still happen I doubt that a "lockdown" would stop it. Maybe slow it down with a huge interest charge on the back end. I'm no expert, but it seemed like locking down just delayed stuff from happening. There is of course a seasonality effect with Covid, but now people are getting sick because they have immune deficiencies.
People can't reduce things to first principles and see the outcome of what a true lockdown would be, and that is total chaos. It is unrealistic and impossible.
I recall that over time additional types of businesses were added to the definition of "essential". The very word essential infuriated me because ALL PERSONS ARE ESSENTIAL.
Churches were not. As a Christian I now view a lot of ministers/church leaders very differently after hearing them spout pro-lockdown, pro-mandate crap.
Even if it were actually possible to eradicate such a respiratory virus in a nation, it would only stay eradicated so long as international borders were closed (and I mean closed in truth, impenetrable border, no one in or out at all, no special envoys and quarantines on return, etc)
If a country ever managed to do this, the borders of that nation would have to remain permanently closed forever to keep it out.
No matter how much test/quarantine you did, if you ever allowed international travel, its not a matter of if, only when....and then you have to go through the same massive effort once again to eradicate.
Indeed, even in China, once considered the gold standard for lockdown and Zero Covid, the best it did was delay the inevitable, with a HUGE interest charge on the back end.
I never understood why public drinking fountains were turned off, closed off or taped off in buildings. No one actually knew why. Some thought that it was because people would be touching the lever and thus spread the virus. I replied that no one is doing anything about the door handle to the building where the drinking fountain is taped off. Why one, but not the other?
I occasionally judge outdoor only dog events. I was one of the few judges of this type that was willing to travel during the height of the pandemic. The club was paranoid about me flying so I agreed to drive and visited friends and did some other dog related events along the way since WA had a "rule" about being in the state for 10 days about something so that was how I conformed to WA's ridiculous rules. The club freaked out about my road trip and insisted that I get a covid test before judging. The county I was judging in had free drive thru covid testing at the fairgrounds if you lived or worked in the county. I told them that I had a temporary job at the local that I was judging at as I had out of state drivers license and vehicle plates. It was a warm day so as I was waiting for the hour in my vehicle, I had the windows open. I was rudely told to keep them closed while I was siting in my vehicle in full sun. They had a couple of porta potties by the parking area that I watched people use. The guy who was directing traffic and making everyone mask up and have windows closed watched the people use the facilities. There was no rush to spray disinfectant between uses. There was occasionally a person waiting outside to use the facilities and there was no screaming for the person to remain in their vehicle until one was free. So much discord and non logic surrounding what was acceptable and what wasn't.
Oh, the building that we drove thru to get the test? It was the Sheep Barn. They had to take down the sign as apparently there were complaints about lining up to drive thru the sheep barn to get tested was too much for some people.
It sounds like restaurants, that made a customer mask, but the customer can take the mask off at the table. BUT, the customer has to put it back on to go potty.
Absolutely insane! I refused to go anywhere that did this. I don’t do stupid things on command like a barking seal.
Love your drinking fountain example. I'm guessing people thought you were a crank for pointing out the obvious inconsistency.
I always wondered about the people grocery shopping while wearing latex gloves. Did they put the "contaminated" groceries in their car? Change gloves to get in the car ? Clean the groceries in the parking lot ?
Well, technically it wasn't a lockdown, but it sure was heavy-handed in what businesses were allowed to stay open vs those forced to close, rules made for those who wanted to shop, discrimination against anyone with legitimate medical issues preventing them from wearing a mask, attempted discrimination against the average person for not wanting to take part in a medical experiment, sending police to gatherings with more than the "allowed" number of people, and so on.
Yes, we were not forcibly detained or imprisoned in our houses as happened in some other countries, but the effects on our society as a whole are still pretty bad.
Yeah, it was just take out and Tiger King for a few months...
Look, toots, here's my story: My son was in the ICU for a week. Was I able to visit him, be by his side in his moment of need? NO, no I was not allowed to be there. I sat by the phone, hoping not to get that phone call that every parent dreads, hoping to God he is getting the attention he needs from an overstretch hospital staff. All day and night, my stomach churning in grief and angst, just waiting and waiting, biting my tongue with all my teeth.
So, spare me the revisionist history "Watto_Allen" or whoever the F**k you are. I will never, ever, EVER forgive or forget. You can kiss my fluffy ass, covidians.
God does not require you to forgive anyone who does not ask for forgiveness. I doubt any of the true perpetrators of this travesty are going to ask for it.
Leftist ideas never been because they've never been tried. Granted, lots of people claim they've tried Leftist ideas & every Leftist supported all of these previous attempts, but none of these attempts were really attempts because everyone the Leftists ever supported tricked them in some way. Don't worry, though, this time they're right!
Although this article was obviously meant in humor, I thought I'd mention what "revisionist" means. In common usage, the term refers to historical revisionism, in which challenges are mounted to orthodox, or if one likes, "official" versions of history. That's all well and good, and one would think that is a normal part of academic study, in this case, history. Of course the term could apply to any such inquiry, but in practice it's most often applied to anyone delving into certain incidents that happened during World War II. And it's no laughing matter.
For many decades, in many nations, it has been a serious crime to "deny the [Jewish] Holocaust," in general, to cast doubt upon events surrounding the Nazi prosecution of the Jews ca. 1933-1945. In the USA and perhaps a few other nations, strong legal protections (equivalent to our First Amendment) make a criminal conviction unlikely. But to publicly challenge certain narratives risks one's career, tenure, etc. In recent years the general taboo topic list has been expanded with so-called "hate speech" laws and such, resulting in such absurdities as a Norwegian woman facing jail time because she opined that transsexuals cannot be lesbians or some such. All of us here should be well familiar with the blatant censorship of anything surrounding the Covid-19 "vaccines" and similar. Vax skeptics may have been banned on Twitter and Facebook, and doctors lost their licenses, but I doubt anyone's gone to prison over the jabs.
But back to those "deny the Holocaust" laws. A skeptic might ask himself: Isn't it the least bit intriguing that such protections disproportionately favor an ethnic/religious group that no doubt suffered gross injustices generations ago, but hasn't for most of a century, yet is a tiny fraction of the population of most nations? Precisely what is it, about the official histories, that they are so afraid of anyone daring to question, to look into details of long-ago events?
Excellent discussion of the history of "revisionist history." It bothers me too when it is used to imply 'newly made-up misrepresentations of history.' The real revisionists were always in about the same position we skeptics of the Vax-Covidian cult are today, challenging a tsunami of unnuanced vicious psy-op propaganda that is not to be questioned, and being told *they* are the nasties and the loonies.
I like when cult members pretend that we had a vacation and it wasn't just your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness being crushed by totalitarian philanthropaths bent on contorting the world to their own dystopian vision by deploying coercion tactics designed for torturing prisoners of war.

I have also been shut out of my daughter and son in laws "family" because of this stupid virus shots, opinions (I am a retired nurse with a lot of science and chemistry knowledge.

This is what narcissistic personality disorder looks like on a mass scale. "The horrible thing I did was in your best interests, and if it wasn't it never happened."
Bingo. Meredith Miller and I have been discussing the narcissistic abuse dynamic in her Dissident Dialogue (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dissident-dialogues-meredith-miller / full version will be available to the public once the interview is completed).
People get all wrapped up about ideology but really if we just filtered entry into positions of responsibility with basic psych tests we'd fix about 90% of the problem.
👍 Right now, they appear to be performing reverse filtration for narcissists and psychopaths.
Yep. Standard ponerological process by which pathocracies crystallize themselves.
Margaret, reading your blog is one of my favorites. I know I never comment - usually reading on my phone and absorbing.
Aww, thank you, Rosemary 🙏
"The good of the country" is used as displacement for the narcissism. One of the many insidious features of this depravity.
Yeah but WTF.......Justin Trudeau changed in 2015, like a whole different person. And now he is “surprised when we know what he did?” I mean the goofy look on his face when caught and doesn’t know what to say. It’s like he doesn’t know how people react at all and wasn’t expecting them to and the out right lies. Then again surprise when confronted. It’s so weird.
Do you think he was acting before or is he acting now? Of course, we could ask the same about Zelensky.
“Philanthropists”…brilliant!
Thank you, Pelopidas. I coined “philanthropath” in this series if you haven’t yet seen it:
• “Part 1: A Mostly Peaceful Depopulation” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams)
• “Part 2: Downloadable Digital Dictatorships” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams-947)
• “Part 3: Yuval Noah Harari: Not the Man We Think He Is?” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams-3fd)
My original comment should have read,” Philanthropaths”…Brilliant!
But, the spellchecker over rode me. By your response, I believe you presumed that. Funny thing is, several people “liked” the misquote. Go figure?
Haha, no worries, I figured it out and assumed it was a spellcheck override :-)
It's funny (but really not) when MAA says "Philanthropists" I think "Philanthrapists". As in Bio-Rape...:)
She's good.
😆 Ooh, I like that variation.
Me too!! (No political pun intended!)
😆 Good one.
“I like when cult members pretend that we had a vacation…”

I wish I could "like" this post way more times.
I like it when dipshits think a lockdown stopped a virus anywhere. Thats cute.
And people like the prat in the post will simultaneously claim the lockdowns both worked and were necessary, then go write a moronic and glib post on Twitter about how we never had a lockdown.
These people are unbelievably stupid; I am so mad that they still manage to make me angry.
Hard to like this comment enough. Well put.
Surely, the dipshits don't think? They just swap articles of belief.
Even when confronted with the ADMISSION by Pfizer's VP that they never tested to see if the vax stopped transmission and Brix's admission that "we were HOPING it would stop transmission" people still won't give up their "belief" that it does.
The vast majority of humans truly are a cult crazed bunch of jab junkies.

thank god my kindergartener at least got to go back in the fall of 2020. "remote kindergarten" was the biggest joke ever.
I take it that you identify as a Mama Bear?
Mama Bear. Lioness. 🤷🏻♀️
Lord forgive me for the insatiable hatred I have for these people.
I thought it was just me. I went off on my bf’s friend whose wife and him got jabbed. He probably hates my guts now...and I don’t care. We lost our jobs and these people act like nothing happened.
I pray to my Father in heaven for strength. It’s so difficult for me to have patience some days.
The Lord is with you sister. Jesus said: "In this world you will have tribulation, but take heart, for I have overcome this world".

Just like Peter 4:12 stated, “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you”
That is a big boom! Thank you.
Ok now I feel guilty. Beautiful comments, both of you. ❤
Your comment has been a true blessing to me! Thank you.
Oh, I'm still working on getting over my rage and wonder if I ever will. Just when I think it's dissipated, I get into a conversation with someone about masks, lockdowns, shots, how our relationships with our families and friends are shredded, the loved-ones we've lost (even onto death) due to the jabs, or some other aspect of this psyop, and it comes roiling up to the surface again.

Herd mentality. Too panicked to question. Relentless propaganda. Fear of non-conformity. Faced with losses of resources, living conditions, social status. PSYOP.
Too true, I am thankful that I can look at the situation through the eyes of a Social Scientist. It is as if I am studying what is happening as an outside observer, although I have also been affected in various ways. That helps me to stay calm.
And Peter (appropriate name), that is where God enters. I don’t know how I would have gotten through the last few years without God.
And evil knows who to prey on.
How could so many people indulge their cowardice and sanctimony to the point of tossing away basic human freedom? The disloyalty to this most basic gift along with the demand that others do the same have traumatized me, I think. Because? Respiratory infection. Stunning.
Were I two or three decades younger, I might have time to get over it. At my age? I doubt it very much.
I’m angry but does anyone else also feel worried? Im concerned these sleepwalkers are going to allow yet another round of this chaos come the next “pandemic”. Too many people still wearing masks outside, no one questioning what’s happened. They are the majority in my Cali world. I thought by now most people would finally see the light, stand up and say enough is enough. No, not happening. Many are complicit, and self righteous - doing what they’re told for the common good. And will continue following what their told.
I think you have to have faith--faith in how this country came to be and that its dna, while substantially dormant, will eventually reassert itself.
Yes, I'm worried that all those around me who are still wearing metaphoric blinders pushed as tightly over their eyes as the mask (sometimes still plural) over their faces will become the same vicious covid attack dogs as they were before the minute the next ginned up "deadly" virus or something else is hyped hysterically on the TV and social media. I live in NYC, so I can share your California pain.
But that is also part of my rage--anger at what has been perpetrated, at those who have helped by their stupidity and willful blindness to perpetrate it and likely will again in the future, and white-hot fury at loved ones who continue to blindly play the game of Covid Roulette that I fear will take them from me.
Sanwish, since you're in Cali, did you hear about this: https://shethinksliberty.substack.com/p/snot-pouch-pushers-persist ?
Yes, thanks! I heard his story yesterday. I empathize with him completely. We are far, few in the Bay Area. Or that’s how it appears. We def need some sort of gathering together here to share resources, build strength and confidence and keep our sanity (I’m thinking). We need to continue speaking out and putting our foot down as he has. Love this guy. Impressed.
Or as a somewhat wealthy acquaintance recently said “ well, it ( the lockdown) really wasn’t that bad”.... after I stopped my tongue from hemorrhaging , I responded “ easy for you when your Country Club in your gated community delivers dinner to you.” This is a person who remains double masked in public. Princeton graduate.
Oh, yes, all the people I knew and used to think were decent, compassionate human beings, the ones who trumpeted their social consciences and railed against capitalism, who within seconds after the psyop began took off from the city to their country houses to escape the unwashed masses, posted little essays on Facebook about how the "lockdowns" had given them more family time and a respite from the hustle and bustle of work and commute, along with photos of them with their cute masks coordinated with their outfit working from their nice big homes, reporting a "socially-distanced, masked up outdoor barbecue (because of course they all had spacious yards and houses), and pooh-poohed any concerns about the people suffering from the lockdowns as merely about the "economy" (a no-no I guess for these anti-capitalists), and then praising the glories of Big Pharma and the righteousness of forcing that highly profitable and historically criminal industry's products on everyone, while retaining their "anti-capitalist" bona fides by lamenting that all those poor souls in Africa and other third-world countries didn't have enough access to spikeshots, seriously worrying that opening playgrounds for children in NYC might cause them to catch this bad cold and demanding further study before allowing it, while being completely satisfied with a pushing shockingly poorly tested jabs on those children who were at no risk for illness. Yeah, those people, for whom I suspect I will retain some vestiges of contempt forever, even if I retain any relationship with them.
Anyone ask 'em if they got them country homes from The Socialist Fairy?
Very well said! I TOTALLY GET IT.
Just lost respect for Princeton
Oh please, I lost that back in the 60s.
Princeton produced one of the worst presidents in our history, who was PRESDIENT OF PRINCETON before he was POTUS. Woodrow Wilson is easily in the top 5 worst presidents in our history. So I have retrospectively lost respect for Princeton in 1905 when they made him their president.
long time ago
Grrrrrrrr. This is when I realize that the social contract has been used, abused and violated in a way that ought to render it invalid. Grrrrr
High priced brainwashing right there.
the elites grow in ivy league uni’s. They are masters of knowing what is best for others, no matter the cost to others, as long as their comforts are not impacted
I know many Princeton grads: overrated conformists with no ability to think critically.
I know one Princeton grad. He's a con artist, liar & thief. And he's definitely overrated in his own mind.
He’s stupid. Literally!
She, graduated in 76. But yes, stupid. Anyone my age who played in the dirt, never used hand sanitizer, had very few inoculations, survived measles, chicken pox, the Asian Flu, etc etc should have never signed onto this idiocy.
I lick door knobs in front of masked people.
KIDDING (but it is tempting)!
I had to laugh at this one. I have been saying since the spring of 2020, "I don't go around licking door knobs, so I am not too worried."
As the vaccinators start to gloss over their many sins, ask for forgiveness and amnesty, we must remember that all over the world, anyone who dared raise a finger in protest and/or did not comply was threatened, fined, imprisoned, harassed etc.
Don't forget Assassinated, as in the President of Haiti and the Premier of Tanzania.
Here is my definition of "lockdown":
Any nonzero measure of government-imposed or government-enabled restriction on economic activity beyond what was present in AD 2019.
(Not that 2019 represents an ideal scenario for economic freedom, only that it presents a convenient contrast to 2020 and beyond)
Masks = lockdowns
Mass testing = lockdowns
All part and parcel of the same demonic possession.
BINGO
To REALLY stop and for lockdowns to really work this is what would need to happen (my point is going to show it's impossible):
Everyone would have to isolate for like 90 days. NO essential workers. So, no food delivery, no medical supplies, no fuel deliveries, no grocery shopping. No mail. I mean, TRUE isolation. True lockdown. How does that even work? It's impossible. What about the sick people.
This also isn't possible because police still need to work, firemen, Emergency medical services...plus there are some things that just can't be left alone (like a power grid, or nuclear plants, or military facilities). People HAVE To eat. When things break (like a sewage pipe) humans have to go out and repair them. Or a power outage. Or your fridge breaks and all your food goes bad. True lockdown isolation to stop a respiratory virus is just impossible if one thinks through it.
People would end up starving and going insane. The mental illness just from the "lockdowns" we had was terrible.
Are all the people who want to commit crimes going to stop? Nope. So you have to have some sort of security presence. Public or private.
Even then, the compliance of this would not work. Plus, EVEN if all of these things were to still happen I doubt that a "lockdown" would stop it. Maybe slow it down with a huge interest charge on the back end. I'm no expert, but it seemed like locking down just delayed stuff from happening. There is of course a seasonality effect with Covid, but now people are getting sick because they have immune deficiencies.
People can't reduce things to first principles and see the outcome of what a true lockdown would be, and that is total chaos. It is unrealistic and impossible.
I recall that over time additional types of businesses were added to the definition of "essential". The very word essential infuriated me because ALL PERSONS ARE ESSENTIAL.
Strip clubs and liquor stores were essential—gyms absolutely not
Churches were not. As a Christian I now view a lot of ministers/church leaders very differently after hearing them spout pro-lockdown, pro-mandate crap.
Like here in Colorado, marijuana “ dispensaries “ aka pot shops were deemed essential, medical and recreational......
Look at Shanghai. Lockdowns. Didn’t. Work.
Even if it were actually possible to eradicate such a respiratory virus in a nation, it would only stay eradicated so long as international borders were closed (and I mean closed in truth, impenetrable border, no one in or out at all, no special envoys and quarantines on return, etc)
If a country ever managed to do this, the borders of that nation would have to remain permanently closed forever to keep it out.
No matter how much test/quarantine you did, if you ever allowed international travel, its not a matter of if, only when....and then you have to go through the same massive effort once again to eradicate.
Indeed, even in China, once considered the gold standard for lockdown and Zero Covid, the best it did was delay the inevitable, with a HUGE interest charge on the back end.
Isn't that what happened in China? I believe it is.
Exactly. Or at least very close to that, even if not 100% of the entire country simultaneously.
And look at them now. Didn't do them a LICK of good, only postponed the inevitable, at great cost. OOPS! How will Xinnie the Pooh ever live this down?
Their one saving grace? At least they weren't foolish enough to use mRNA jabs! Though they did allow them in Macau and Hong Kong.
It’s called when the SHTF scenario. You’re 100% correct!
I never understood why public drinking fountains were turned off, closed off or taped off in buildings. No one actually knew why. Some thought that it was because people would be touching the lever and thus spread the virus. I replied that no one is doing anything about the door handle to the building where the drinking fountain is taped off. Why one, but not the other?
I occasionally judge outdoor only dog events. I was one of the few judges of this type that was willing to travel during the height of the pandemic. The club was paranoid about me flying so I agreed to drive and visited friends and did some other dog related events along the way since WA had a "rule" about being in the state for 10 days about something so that was how I conformed to WA's ridiculous rules. The club freaked out about my road trip and insisted that I get a covid test before judging. The county I was judging in had free drive thru covid testing at the fairgrounds if you lived or worked in the county. I told them that I had a temporary job at the local that I was judging at as I had out of state drivers license and vehicle plates. It was a warm day so as I was waiting for the hour in my vehicle, I had the windows open. I was rudely told to keep them closed while I was siting in my vehicle in full sun. They had a couple of porta potties by the parking area that I watched people use. The guy who was directing traffic and making everyone mask up and have windows closed watched the people use the facilities. There was no rush to spray disinfectant between uses. There was occasionally a person waiting outside to use the facilities and there was no screaming for the person to remain in their vehicle until one was free. So much discord and non logic surrounding what was acceptable and what wasn't.
Oh, the building that we drove thru to get the test? It was the Sheep Barn. They had to take down the sign as apparently there were complaints about lining up to drive thru the sheep barn to get tested was too much for some people.
Ha ha. The sheep barn for the sheeple! Brillant.
Lol! " Sheep barn" beautiful irony!
It sounds like restaurants, that made a customer mask, but the customer can take the mask off at the table. BUT, the customer has to put it back on to go potty.
Absolutely insane! I refused to go anywhere that did this. I don’t do stupid things on command like a barking seal.
Love your drinking fountain example. I'm guessing people thought you were a crank for pointing out the obvious inconsistency.
I always wondered about the people grocery shopping while wearing latex gloves. Did they put the "contaminated" groceries in their car? Change gloves to get in the car ? Clean the groceries in the parking lot ?
Well, technically it wasn't a lockdown, but it sure was heavy-handed in what businesses were allowed to stay open vs those forced to close, rules made for those who wanted to shop, discrimination against anyone with legitimate medical issues preventing them from wearing a mask, attempted discrimination against the average person for not wanting to take part in a medical experiment, sending police to gatherings with more than the "allowed" number of people, and so on.
Yes, we were not forcibly detained or imprisoned in our houses as happened in some other countries, but the effects on our society as a whole are still pretty bad.
Where I lived, most businesses and all parks and churches were closed for at least two months and the schools were closed for 18 months.
Lockdown in my book.
Crawl inside the mind of this guy and spend a few minutes absorbing the world like he does. It isn't pretty.
I'm sure this would make for an insightful thought experiment, but I do value my sanity, so I'll take a hard pass on this one.
Yeah, it was just take out and Tiger King for a few months...
Look, toots, here's my story: My son was in the ICU for a week. Was I able to visit him, be by his side in his moment of need? NO, no I was not allowed to be there. I sat by the phone, hoping not to get that phone call that every parent dreads, hoping to God he is getting the attention he needs from an overstretch hospital staff. All day and night, my stomach churning in grief and angst, just waiting and waiting, biting my tongue with all my teeth.
So, spare me the revisionist history "Watto_Allen" or whoever the F**k you are. I will never, ever, EVER forgive or forget. You can kiss my fluffy ass, covidians.
God does not require you to forgive anyone who does not ask for forgiveness. I doubt any of the true perpetrators of this travesty are going to ask for it.
Don't fall for the gaslight beyond calling this trog out for being a tweet grifter, nothing more.
Is Lockdown Denial a thing now? I’m still waiting for delivery of my new “I support nuclear war in Ukraine!” curtains.
It’s so hard to keep up with the latest fashions!
Leftist ideas never been because they've never been tried. Granted, lots of people claim they've tried Leftist ideas & every Leftist supported all of these previous attempts, but none of these attempts were really attempts because everyone the Leftists ever supported tricked them in some way. Don't worry, though, this time they're right!
Although this article was obviously meant in humor, I thought I'd mention what "revisionist" means. In common usage, the term refers to historical revisionism, in which challenges are mounted to orthodox, or if one likes, "official" versions of history. That's all well and good, and one would think that is a normal part of academic study, in this case, history. Of course the term could apply to any such inquiry, but in practice it's most often applied to anyone delving into certain incidents that happened during World War II. And it's no laughing matter.
For many decades, in many nations, it has been a serious crime to "deny the [Jewish] Holocaust," in general, to cast doubt upon events surrounding the Nazi prosecution of the Jews ca. 1933-1945. In the USA and perhaps a few other nations, strong legal protections (equivalent to our First Amendment) make a criminal conviction unlikely. But to publicly challenge certain narratives risks one's career, tenure, etc. In recent years the general taboo topic list has been expanded with so-called "hate speech" laws and such, resulting in such absurdities as a Norwegian woman facing jail time because she opined that transsexuals cannot be lesbians or some such. All of us here should be well familiar with the blatant censorship of anything surrounding the Covid-19 "vaccines" and similar. Vax skeptics may have been banned on Twitter and Facebook, and doctors lost their licenses, but I doubt anyone's gone to prison over the jabs.
But back to those "deny the Holocaust" laws. A skeptic might ask himself: Isn't it the least bit intriguing that such protections disproportionately favor an ethnic/religious group that no doubt suffered gross injustices generations ago, but hasn't for most of a century, yet is a tiny fraction of the population of most nations? Precisely what is it, about the official histories, that they are so afraid of anyone daring to question, to look into details of long-ago events?
Excellent discussion of the history of "revisionist history." It bothers me too when it is used to imply 'newly made-up misrepresentations of history.' The real revisionists were always in about the same position we skeptics of the Vax-Covidian cult are today, challenging a tsunami of unnuanced vicious psy-op propaganda that is not to be questioned, and being told *they* are the nasties and the loonies.
Thank you for speaking up.
