I'm not going to lie, I feel an overwhelming sense of doom and despair. I feel like the fight is already lost and not a single person around me seems to think there is anything wrong, and even if they do, they just shrug their shoulders and care little of engaging in any sort of resistance to any of this. I feel completely alone. My wife and I are spending some time in NYC shortly and I told her I do not want to support any business enforcing the vax pass. She basically lost it and told me I was crazy, and said that my stance on covid and all of this stuff is destroying our marriage. Part of me wants to just tell everyone to fuck off and just walk away from everything. I just don't know what to do anymore...

I hear you Deeb. Same here with respect to my partner. But I don't feel that the fight is lost. The corporate/govt maniacs rolling this out aren't all that smart. The whole narrative is imploding--that's why they're suddenly getting hysterical. Stay strong. There are a lot of us resisting--even though MSM won't show it.

What I find discouraging is there is no leadership or organizational resistance. anywhere. that I can see. I am hoping the truckers block every road into Washington DC and blue strongholds with a few hundred trucks for a week. Til they run out of latte.

Here in California, one of the worst places in the US, we forced a recall election on our governor w/over 2 million signatures (I collected hundreds myself). If that's not organized resistance, I don't know what is. There are also freedom groups throughout the US, including here in the Bay Area, that get together all the time, strategize, socialize, etc. Ohio AMF is particularly well organized and involved w/legislation and education. Best to find like-minded people in your area and meet in person. The White Rose telegram groups cover many different countries, states, and regional areas.

A land of contradictions. You could carve two red states out of Central Valley and Norcal. Not to mention OC/Northern SD, and the wild wests of Long Beach and East Bay / East SD. And despite the monoculture in The Bay and in West LA, a lot of Democrat Party party power in urban CA is of the Appalachian "deplorable," party patronage variety, not the progressive strain. However, CA's hispanic and Asian "party patronage Appalachia" is more secular and pro-authority than the Eastern variety, so it's a big mess.

I am not sure that they Dems have the Latinos in CA any more. They have a much stronger sense of class consciousness than the Asian groups, and they have borne the brunt of the policies the Zoom class has gotten to escape from.

But still culturally pro-authority, and suffused with a bizarre, lopsided germaphobia (super into hand sanitizer and masks; totally indifferent to food safety regimes; meanwhile generally not allergic to dangerous working conditions at all, showing the same hearty risk appetite as a deplorable). I saw outdoor solo masking (including of course of kids) adopted in Baja and San Ysidro well before anywhere else in SoCal last year. Hispanics do *not* want to face this virus without a state/expert umbilical cord.

Sorry to hear that. This craziness is ripping apart through the seams of families, friendships, etc. This will end, but the damage done to (Western) society will be huge.

Maybe you have already shown your wife information from other sources apart from MSM and gov; the issue would be the appeal to authority thing (since the info doesn't from authoritative sources, she could dismiss it). Show her info from Israel, one of the most vaxed countries in the world.

whatever happens, avoid the sense of doom and despair; that's what they want you to feel. I know it's hard, and I perfectly understand. Here where I live, a 3rd world country, gov is implementing vax passes and a significant part of the population and MSM are clapping. However, economically we're headed towards a cliff. Criminality has substantially increased. And I sense we've lost all sovereignty thanks to the contracts with Big Pharma and all the borrowing done from the IMF, world bank, etc. Yet we are fighting back; people are boycotting those vax passes, protests have grown, more are speaking regarding adverse events. Not enough still, but definitely much better than before. Of course, always be prepared for the worst. Stay strong

it goes on until the passports/digital ID/social credit system is in place. Then the nazified 'left' will be told that the variants are under control and they'll stop hating variants just as they stopped hating Trump the instant the msm told them they could stop hating Trump. And at that point the US govt will stop incentivizing the crooked medical establishment to find 'covid' wherever it can.

sounds like my marriage. My wife is part of the medical establishment. We argue on it all the time. She got our kids injected even though I advised not to. Fortunately no issues; and their nazified schools basically mandated it. But I think soon a person will not be able to fly (and probably do a lot of other stuff) unless getting regularly injected. It's maddening that so many people (the big city 'elites' that control things) are good with this new nazi state of America.

I know what you mean. Most people (are idiots) just blindly believe and do what they are told. I do not even discuss this topic with most people anymore because it does no good. They just believe what they want to regardless of what facts you present. I sent around an article yesterday talking about how Delta is spreading all over Cornell University even though it is 95% vaccinated and the response I got was how this was proof of a vaccine success because the cases were only mild. I definitely want to tell everyone to f off, but it is not so easy with a young child to support. We will see if I am still employed in a few months.

SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England/Technical briefing 22/September 3, 2021

Public Health England reports that Delta is the dominant variant in the UK. This variant accounted for 99% of sequenced and 98% genotyped cases from July 25 through July 31, 2021 in England (PHE technical briefing 20/August 8 ). PHE has not updated this data since.

PHE last reported the Delta variant Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of ~0.2% - 0.3% in early July (PHE technical briefing 18/July 9). PHE has not updated the CFR since.

PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values from routinely undertaken tests in England show that Ct values (and by inference viral load) are similar between individuals who are unvaccinated and vaccinated.

Delta in England as of 8/29/2021...

Unvaxxed: 219,716 cases/536 deaths/0.2440%

Unvaxxed <50: 212,989 cases/99 deaths/0.0465%

Unvaxxed 50+: 6,724 cases/437 deaths/6.499%

Fully Vaxxed: 113,823 cases/1,091 deaths/0.9585%

Fully Vaxxed <50: 62,403 cases/37 deaths/0.0593%

Fully Vaxxed 50+: 51,420 cases/1,054 deaths/2.450%

==========================================

50,119 Unlinked Infections

108,870 Partially Vaxxed Infections

113,823 Fully Vaxxed Infections

219,716 Unvaxxed Infections

Partially/Fully Vaxxed infections have surpassed Unvaxxed infections.

1.9 times more infections in Unvaxxed versus Fully Vaxxed.

(2.5 times more infections in Unvaxxed versus Fully Vaxxed as of August 15)

(3.2 times more infections in Unvaxxed versus Fully Vaxxed as of August 8)

~60.7% of deaths were in fully vaxxed.

~64.1% of deaths were in fully vaxxed 50+.

~68.6% of deaths were in fully/partially vaxxed.

555 more deaths of fully vaxxed than unvaxxed.

617 more deaths of fully vaxxed than unvaxxed in 50+ cohort.

697 more deaths of fully/partially vaxxed than unvaxxed.

745 more deaths of fully/partially vaxxed than unvaxxed in 50+ cohort.

We don’t have the prior health status of those who died in any of the cohorts.

We don’t know the breakdown of “vaccines” taken by the vaxxed.

According to PHE data...

The fully vaxxed 50+ are less likely to be infected (but they're catching up), less likely to seek care, less likely to be hospitalized...but more of them died.

There were 3.4 times more infections in unvaxxed <50 died and more people died (99 versus 37)...but the CFR was lower (0.0465% vs. 0.0593%).

Clearly, the jabs don't work as advertised.

And here's an admission from the Governor of West Virginia. Turns out, human biology is the same in the US as in the UK and Israel.

Deeb, try an angle like this>>> "Baby, I'm an individualist. This is how I'm wired, and this is the guy you married. It isn't about the vaccine. I know it's likely harmless. This is about individual liberty. This is about personal freedom, for you and me and everyone else. This is about taking a stand. How many American soldiers died on the battlefield in defense of freedom? They gave everything, their entire future, to preserve liberty for people like us. This is the least I can do. I have to do this, in honor of God and country. If this vaccine provided sterilizing immunity and truly protected others, I'd take it. But this clearly isn't about that. It's something else. This isn't about me. This is a war. Authoritarian collectivism vs Individual freedom? I'm a soldier in this battle. I'm not going down without a fight! You don't like it, find someone else." Then pound your chest in defiance.

Expand full comment

As a person of the female persuasion, I'm bettin' Deeb's wife will not take kindly to being called "Baby" or to this argument in general.

An appeal to reason based on information and data and facts with a firm "not gonna do it" is the best course. Many people have been broken by the fear mongering. Some may never be able to admit to themselves...let alone others...that they went a little crazy. Some will never recover.

People were told that life would return to normal...that everyone would be safe...if only everyone would get doubled jabbed. All the claims have turned out to be false, and the de facto social contract has been broken. But the media continues the spin. If you aren't actively seeking the data, you probably still believe the narrative.

The jabs don't stop infection or transmission of the Delta variant (the original Wuhan variant is long gone and it ain't coming back). Increasingly, it appears that the jabs don't prevent severe disease. Israel is most of the way through their 3rd jab deployment, and they're already talking about a 4th, 5th, 6th.

These leaky "vaccines" will not...cannot...stop the pandemic. They may prolong it. They may result in the creation of really dangerous variants that evade immunity and threaten all of us...vaxxed or unvaxxed.

The notion that we were going to "vaccinate" everyone in the world was always a joke. It wasn't possible. It isn't possible.

When does this end?

How does this end?

Does the virus justify this reaction?

Reason, information, facts, and data.

Here is something else important. Scientists Used the Spike Protein for the Vaccines Because it was thought that it was not susceptible to Antibody Dependent Enhancement. Except they were wrong. "The SARS experience taught us a lot of extremely useful lessons, as it turned out. SARS-Cov-2 is rather closely related to the 2003 SARS coronavirus, and if you're going to have a worldwide pandemic, you're far better off with one that's so much like something you've already poured R&D investments into! In this case, the two big take-homes were that coronavirus vaccines could indeed suffer from ADE, and that this seemed to depend on which protein you chose to base your vaccine around. Specifically, it was the vaccines that targeted the N (nucleoprotein) antigen of the coronavirus that had ADE problems, while the ones that targeted the S (Spike) protein did not. Update: this isn't accurate. There was trouble after immunization with a nucleoprotein-directed vaccine, but ADE could also be seen with some of the Spike-directed vaccine candidates as well - see reviews here, here, and here." https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/antibody-dependent-enhancement-and-coronavirus-vaccines

Yes, I have already looked at all those links while posting a pillory of that article to my sub. What's interesting is how coronavirus vaccine research suddenly slows down after 2015. As if, the interested parties who would fund it were already satisfied with the near certainty of ADE resulting from a vaccine. Hmm...

Here is an example. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC3187504/ "These observations prompted us to investigate the mechanisms underlying antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of SARS-CoV infection in vitro. We demonstrate here that anti-Spike immune serum, while inhibiting viral entry in a permissive cell line, potentiated infection of immune cells by SARS-CoV Spike-pseudotyped lentiviral particles, as well as replication-competent SARS coronavirus."

Read this. The Lie Of 'All Unvaccinated https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=243513

Before you do something stupid like get a "booster" answer this -- why would you believe the third jab will work when you were told the other two would -- and the people doing so lied? When, in addition, there is evidence that the manufacturers knew this would happen and rigged the trials to conceal it? What data do you have (none!) on whether the risk of serious adverse events rises with each successive injection, if it does by how much (what if it's exponentially worse?) and why would you be so stupid as to believe a single thing these people say after being screwed by the very same people? I remind you: Never in the past has there been a successful vaccine for coronaviruses. All previous attempts have failed during trials, which took years to discover, either by mutational escape or worse, enhancement in those who got the injection(s). Don't throw your life away.

PPS: Note that there is now emerging evidence of ADE, VEI and/or OAS from the vaccines exactly as has occurred with all other attempts to vaccinate against coronaviruses. And no, it doesn't have to be Covid-19 that triggers it either; any other beta coronavirus can plausibly do so. One of them, OC43, circulates in the population and usually causes mild colds. Not this time -- it sent the person who got it to the hospital and nearly killed them. Was the vaccine responsible for that? It might have been and if it got this person it could also get YOU. There are already cases being reported in the US where the person is vaccinated, presents to the ER with what looks like severe Covid-19 but repeatedly tests negative. Here it comes folks....

* VEI - Vaccine-enhanced infection. Encompasses ADE from vaccines and OAS, along with other related mechanisms such as destruction of existing B-cell recognition. ADE is a very-specific term and may not be the mechanism by which this is occurring; that has not been determined.

I’m aware. I don’t want anymore shots. Confining my spouse. Is fruitless. Any of the critical doctors mentioned are ‘quacks’. The cdc and fda make no mistakes and are always right. ‘Eye roll’ Even when I show my personal Covid death risk per John Hopkins mortality risk calculator (an abysmal 0.6 in 10 million), I am told ‘you are misinformed’. It’s like discussing with a broken record. He simply refuses and study as non clinically relevant that shows concerns. Unless he personally experiences a severe adverse event he doesn’t believe they happen. I also shockingly realized he takes lots of info for granted from MSM as scientific fact.

Lastly, I caught my spouse lying to me about a person my age supposedly on a vent in our local hospital where he works. I was told completely healthy with no risk factors. I later overheard a phone call with a fellow physician. She was only being observed in the ICU, on oxygen, not vent, and morbidly obese. Why my spouse resorts to fabricating / I suppose as he knows I have a point and it contradicts his dogma. I didn’t confront him on this - no use he would just be angry.

I hope the truth emerges here soon. I feel like I live with a crazy paranoid anti science person frankly.

eventually, it's very possible everyone will have a choice: you can refrain from injections and basically live out the rest of your life on house arrest (locked out of flying, possibly shopping, probably could still travel domestically if hotels etc are in a vaxed person's name), or get injected and be able to do things that resemble the old 'normal'. I'm in GA. Life hasn't gotten miserable enough to push me to get the shots, but I expect it to get sufficiently miserable eventually. I don't think poorly of someone that gives in to the fascism. I'm very pro-choice on the issue, thus it stinks having the shots forced on me and having to live out the rest of my days fully grasping this slave status. If the shot gave me a heart attack and killed me quickly, I'm not sure I'd care. But the thought of long term damaged health is not very appealing at all.

I'm sure that 6-pronged approach will go as smoothly as the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

We've got a head start on the burqas this time.

Gavin Newsom let slip something in a press conference a few weeks ago, that in the coming weeks and months some new changes were coming that would “extinguish this virus once and for all.”. He must have been referring to these policy discussions in the white house. Talk about tilting at windmills! One thing that is clear hear is that this white house is completely owned by mad zealots who are clearly not poll driven. They will pursue their mad agenda to the very end, believing as they do that whatever they hear on MSNBC is the best reflection of reality … which is odd since they tell MSNBC what to report. Of course, this is being coordinated at a Supranational level — so the white house is just toeing the line we see elsewhere.

So, we have many many more months and possibly years of madness to endure. Resist indeed. But people will, in the US the states will … something like Vaclav Havel's parallel society will emerge, one for the normies who follow every tittle and spit proclamation that comes from the lunatics they see kn TV, and one where people get on with pursuing dignified lives. States rights activists will rise, and we may see a return to a less relevant federal state in the long run… in the end, we will be less centralized, more local and regional, and more politically and socially diverse. Which is a good thing … It will happen … it is already happening at this point.

The coastal media is our elected representatives' handler. The only question is... who handles the handler. Who is the Handler of Handlers, the handlerhandler...

Yes, the Federal system will return to federal, if not be outright dissolved. The only question is whether the force of repulsion ("civil rights investigation" intrusions) will grow faster than the withering of the force of attraction (the dollar-printing machine).

We need some "Irish Democracy now." Perhaps the State of California will show the way on September 14th.

Just the atomic bomb of bad news I needed to not give a shit about doing anything productive for the rest of the week because it won't matter.

If they're not "peaceful but implacable," I see no reason to return the favor.

If the walls are really finally closing in, maybe this is how my life ends- maybe a lot of people's lives.

Perhaps I'm naively optimistic, but I don't expect this will amount to much.

It may even be constructive -- in a backhanded "make my enemies ridiculous" sort of way.

Proposal: graph Sweden's obesity rates alongside its excess mortality during 20/21. Contrast with the US and observe the much tighter correlation between those two figures than between excess mortality and stringency of NPIs.

One assertion is that the countries with the most severe policies just so happen to correlate with the the countries with the most severe depopulation predictions on Deagle. thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=211746

Sweden had (and still do) many restrictions unlike what most people think. They also still have pretty tough travel restrictions. It's closed for non-essential travel (and you still need to have proof of vaccination and a negative test) for non-residents.

Just because you don't mandate measures it doesn't mean that people won't adjust their behavior. In Sweden people have high degree of trust in their government and they follow

recommendations. Government recommendations may be more effective than mandates

and use of coercion.

The threat of mandatory vaccination to keep a job and to fly is a pretty big hammer

that the US government has.

In many European countries that now have vaccine passports and nominally very tough

rules, it turns out that most of the businesses (and even border crossings) understandably

do not care and are not enforcing them.

What on earth?? I was all ready to be the lone response here on a semi-quiet hump day, thanking gato for the emboldening pep talk. I was eager to say I’m all in after prevailing in the late-night lecturing of arrogant female “real” doctors on Nextdoor who were bully-talking on the jabs. Truth is that the medical community has been groomed into compliance for decades by the pharmaceutical industry. Now we can see them for the useful idiots they’ve become. Add to that the politicization of medicine and those white coats need a bleaching!

I believe we are winning. We must allow them to take no ground, even in the toxic playground of culturally Marxist Nextdoorland. We embolden others by standing our ground.

Do it today, even in a small way. Kindly but firmly.
