might be alright. watch as many start to stand up to the hideous regimes of pseudoscientific imposition and suppression that have been imposed upon them.
“only 67 children out of 1300 submit to lateral flow tests and masking”
predictably, the fussy frumpster fasciati see this as a “public healthy emergency.”
but it’s not. it’s a societal immune system kicking in to refute their nonsensical, fear raddled authority.
in his inimitable fashion, gatopal emeritus™ elon bachman encapsulates this perfectly:
it’s all going punk rock.
this ends when we say it ends and if the one thing these children learn this year is the power of becoming ungovernable and staring down authority, then maybe the public schools actually taught something useful for a change.
and if we’re lucky, we may get another round of great music out of it…
“And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're goin' through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Don't tell them to grow up and out of it”
Where's your shame? You've left us up to our necks in it.
The teachers unions here in England have been absolutely shameful these past two years. Parasitic liars, opportunistic scum. We need a 'Reagan and the Air Traffic Controllers' moment. Sack them all and then rehire the ones who actually want to teach.
Agree! It's the same in the US. The teachers unions have been horrific. Refusing to work while gaslighting the public that they're "heroes". In the US, they're allowed to "donate" large amounts of money to politicians, who then go along with their demands.
Even the vile fascist FDR found government unions intolerable, as reported back when the NYT could at least arguably be called "news".
'As F.D.R said, “It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government,” because when government unions strike they strike against taxpayers, which he considered “unthinkable and intolerable.”'
Chicago teachers union told their teachers to stay home until Jan 17 (iirc), and the city is freaking out saying they didn't authorize that. It's pretty hilarious except the kids are the ones suffering.
Chicago Public Schools Chief Executive Officer Pedro Martinez said Wednesday evening that there is “no choice” but to cancel classes again on Thursday.
This follows a vote by the Chicago Teachers Union to go to virtual learning amid a COVID-19 surge – which prompted Martinez also to cancel classes Wednesday and which he and Mayor Lori Lightfoot are also characterizing as an illegal walkout.
Meanwhile, Mayor Lightfoot raised her voice repeatedly at a news conference with Martinez Wednesday evening – asking why the union had taken an action to go remote when the safest place for children is in school.
“The worst possible thing that we can do is abandon the science; abandon the data,” Mayor Lightfoot said.
-------
Crazy how now the mayor is parroting what we've been pointing out for months and months -- school is perfectly safe.
I would be surprised if Chicago teachers go back to work before the end of the school year. They had it pretty good with 1.5 years of working at home in their jammies and they won't give that up. They will continue to absurdly claim that going to work is extremely dangerous. The students, families, and communities deserve better than this.
Had a rude awakening. Overheard a sister-in-law saying that only extremists are saying the jabs are toxic. Family gathering revealed that they’re all covidians. Masks on, masks off, masks on again—haphazard NPIs.
Being called “extremist” by a relative is, shall I say, bracing?
Funny, isn't it. I am a natural contrarian. I have always stuck out and gone my own way. And I am fine with that. I don't have an issue with MY "mental health" . . . unlike some.
I'm curious how your covidian family feels about vaxx efficacy. How many jabs are too many jabs? How often is too often? They've taken 2 or 3 injections of an experimental "vaccine" to protect against a virus with a global IFR of 0.15%. I don't think any of them should be questioning our judgement...about anything.
I think it’s really my fault they went full Covidian. Because I tried to warn them against it. Shoulda found a homeless wino to tell them. Would’ve been more effective.
I think our friend Dr Yeadon pointed out that there’s no telling what the contents of that next jab will be. I’m not risk averse, and I have the history to prove it, but there’s virtually nothing to gain from taking the chance and the downside is becoming more evident.
I've had a few rude awakenings lately. I have some old friends who have said either openly or I've heard 2nd hand that non vaxxed should not be ALLOWED around the vaxxed. Yesterday I had the choice of making a (routine) cardiologist appointment a phone appointment or postponing. I was told that the dr. decided to do phone only for unvaxxed for a few weeks. No big deal for me, I don't know what they would have done for a less healthy patient; probably forward to ER. I've known this doctor for about 25 years.
I just discovered that my ex husband had a ‘family’ Christmas dinner in NY (he has 3 older kids who live in NY and LA) and they did not allow my son to attend because he’d only had the first jab (in order to be allowed to ‘access’ NY) while they are all double vaxxed and bolstered. So insane.
A non vaxxed friend related his experience: his sister planned a family Christmas get together, they are all 2x or 3x vaxxed and planned to set up a testing facility before entering their home to ensure no virus got in the house. I think the get together was for only fully vaxxed. Their dad is not vaxxed A few days before Christmas, the fully vaxxed sister got covid (at work from a fully vaxxed coworker), passed it on to her family and Christmas gathering got cancelled. While we don't wish bad things to others...naughty kitty can't help but smile just a bit!!!
We keep seeing it everywhere: viral transmission in ‘vax only’ events. How can this attitude and these mandates even be seriously considered? It’s gotten to the point where I almost feel embarrassed for these people.
I challenge each of you. Every single one. Do at LEAST ONE thing today in defiance. ANYTHING! Don't wear a mask at the airport until you board the plane. Don't wear one at the grocer. Something. Anything.
Give others hope and spread courage. If not now, when? If not you, who?
The airport thing is easier than you might think, and lots of ordinary people then see it. So it may give them strength to follow suit in some way.
Dec 22 I traversed SJU, BWI, ORF maskless until I queued to board. Dec 31 I traversed ORF, BWI, PWM maskless as well.
I checked bags while maskless, got all the way to the TSA checkpoint. No peeps from anyone. I even had a nice convo with the agent at the agriculture checkpoint at SJU and she never said a thing about my maskless face.
Yes. I have been thru airports quite a bit the past year and while I am the ONLY one (in a VERY LARGE, BUSY airport, top 15 worldwide) not wearing a mask, I am NEVER confronted.
I only have to pretend to put it on right after TSA fantasy security performance and then while boarding.
Here is the problem. With all due respect to Albert Einstein who intoned that compound interest was the greatest force on earth.
The REAL greatest force on earth is PEER PRESSURE. Very few want to stick out. Most folks are cowards.
Or just to annoy the hell out of people. We must all connect with our inner "Calvin & Hobbes" mischief oriented mindset.
Simple stuff like "Never put on a mask until asked to do so"; "Walk around sipping coffee with you mask off or chinstrap"; "Constantly coughing when compelled to wear a mask".
Actually, in 2020 I did have some angst when being the only unmasked person in a public space/store.
But at some point in 2021, after having had Covid, knowing I was immune, I no longer had any fear or angst when going out. I try not to feel contempt or pity for the sheep around me, but I must say, it is hard not to.
In the end, I think we are doomed. It will simply be too easy for the authorities to shout "Existential Climate Crisis" to get people to cower in fear again.
Airplanes are the one place where I mask up. Not because I want to but because I want to avoid mask nazis and getting put in federal prison and on no-fly lists. however I haven't flown for 6 months and I just picked my kid up at the airport a few days ago and sat happily in the baggage area waiting for her almost an hour, unmasked the entire time, with multiple security and cops walking by as well as hundreds of people, not a peep out of any of them. Thank God. They probably wished they were unmasked too.
Do you think Boris has completely bungled his handling of the north following the collapse of the "Red Wall" ? I hail from West Yorks and used to work in Cheshire. I suspect attitudes are hardening against Boris, who has thrown away his opportunity to do right by the north.
He like Macron, Biden, Trudeau etc. Seems to be taking his orders from some hidden in plain sight global authority or copying each other so badly that they have no autonomy or freewill to exercise in their leadership.
The manifestation is the Red Wall that was broken and went blue won't remain blue. (US folks we have our colours the other way around) but equally Red is split now and has abondoned the working class so what will emerge afterwards is unknown. There was little appetite for Reclaim/Reform/new parties in local council elections last year. The by election had yellow libdem protest vote but I can't see that continuing unless libdems tie themselves to the freedom mast and show authentic action between now and the next elections.
We likely have a global depression about to hit too (although nothing is set in stone there hyper-production is occurring more and more places and sectors like Tesla/Amazon)
Yep, I was that girl in parochial school who was always questioning the nuns. Was taken out into the hall and wrote the same crap on the blackboard 100 times after school quite a lot. I’m still that girl in an old lady’s skin. Be ungovernable!
Yeah, me too. My parents were great- never imposed any rules that didn't have a good reason. It was the rest of the authorities- at school, etc. - that ticked me off. After first day in kindergarten, my mother asked me how school was. I replied I didn't like it. This was the shape of things to come. In high school I read Thoreau - Civil Disobedience and The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail. I was often stuck in in-school suspension, and let them do it multiple times before the principal yielded to me. Always in disobedience of some nonsense or authoritarian diktat or another. My parents supported me, though Mum said I was likely the cause of every gray hair she had. My parents were actually quite conservative in most respects, but they both bucked authorities when it mattered.
Younger generations today (here in the US anyway) don't seem to have that spirit as much. They seem to wait for the authorities to give them permission to rebel against them. They kind of need a CIA backed color revolution to join -- to protest the CIA backed color revolution. I'm hoping this will change, but they may need us oldies to show them how it's done.
Yeah, it's symptomatic but I've noticed in the last several years that, even when there are no cars coming at an intersection kids press the button and stand there and wait for the sign to tell them it's okay to walk, often after having stopped a bunch of cars that arrived after they could have crossed the street without waiting.
I told my mom to "go to hell" in second grade...yeah that kind of kid. (P.S.- soap on a toothbrush tastes awful, but I am still that "kid" at heart!) :-)
i was pretty good to my parents to be fair, it was the teachers and other adults i wouldnt take any crap from. the looks on their faces was gold when they tried to get me to do something i objected to :D
Funny. I was a pain in the arse at times (too smart for my own good). After finishing University aged 22, I met up with my form teacher from when I was 11 (so hadn't seen him in a decade). "Oh yes, I remember you . . . I'm not surprised you've done well for yourself, your sort always do" he said. I still remember that comment, and I'm in my 50's now.
According to my mother, I went through a spell of ignoring my parents so hard when I was a toddler, they actually scheduled an appointment with the pediatrician to test my hearing. But then I reacted to hearing the ice cream truck coming from blocks away and then they figured out that I was just ignoring them.
When my kids were little, I had to keep reminding myself that it was a GOOD thing to raise strong-willed young'uns, lol. Over and over throughout the years this was my mantra. Now we have three more strong-willed adults in the family, two of which are raising their own strong-willed children. I see this as a good thing.
And the children shall lead the way … doing what the adults aren’t brave enough to do !!
What are they going to do ?
Ground them ? Send them to bed without supper ?
I say we all join them … laughing and dancing in the streets without masks. Have the kids act like kids, and the adults dress up in fancy dress and have an outdoor fete !
Make them show up as the Gestapo they are, with dogs and water cannons…. As Gandhi showed, there aren’t ENOUGH prisons to hold an UNGOVERNABLE populace z
18 months ago a cop car with FOUR cops in it pulled to the curb in Condado to tell me to mask up.
FOUR of them, cruising for mask scofflaws. As if there’s nothing else in Puerto Rico to worry about. Like muggings and drug trafficking and epidemic gun crimes, etc.
Nope. Send out FOUR cops in ONE cruiser to tell me - all alone, outside, no one within a country mile - to put my mask on.
"Public health emergency!" This reminds me of when all the corporate media declared that a victory for Brexit would mean Britain would run out of medical supplies in a few months and people would start starving in the streets from no trade. Sounds like some of the Brits in the North are wising up to the globalist con.
And sometimes these kids will be taken from their regular classrooms and either put into a special education program or possibly institutionalized and fed a diet of drugs designed to make them compliant. I wish them the best of luck. Perhaps strength in numbers might do the trick?
Sorry, kid. If it is any consolation, my 3 young adults, 25, 29, 31 are not vaxxed. Most of their circles are, though. Stay strong and sane. The Truth is being crucified again but the Resurrection follows. You will be there to witness the glory. Desolation become consolation. Pax
So many college kids had no problem complying with mandates and testing. I was so disappointed. But maybe the younger children will be the ones to make a stand.
I absolutely enjoy reading your blog, bad kitty. You are really the best kitty.
Living 35 miles west of the cesspool of Wash DC, I can tell you I am officially sick of the bull shit. all of it.
yesterday I took a little drive south on Rt 28 and over to Bristow to see my 3 grand babies 2,3 and 4. They are angels, and such a blessing. On the drive to, and home I was equally brightened to see at least a dozen cars with #FJB in large 8 inch letters.
I could never put that on my car bc I do not want my car "keyed" or otherwise destroyed by some angry leftist.
All of these progressives irritate the heck out of me now
Get a Tesla with#fjb emblazoned on the side and Security mode you can prosecute all those lefties with video footage of them keying it. And then buy Tesla's for all your grandkids.
You just gave me a great idea. Cars are dirty here 'cuz the snow; it will be a great time to finger-write #FJB on parked cars with "biden" or other lefty stickers.
Academics and K12 teachers are completely around the bend now. My little liberal arts college is now requiring boosters, kn95 masks in and out (and all day) AND remote learning for the foreseeable future, and stay in your room, and test weekly etc, etc. This is repeated everywhere for these elite schools. Students are sick of it, (at least those who have some sense). The rank insanity and fanaticism is now off the charts. So, expect the kids to just say F-You! more. This is a very good outcome as the youth had become extremely conservative (not in a republican sense, but in an obedience to authority sense) and conformist in the last decade (the most uninspired and clueless students I have taught in 30 years). It will be refreshing to see a generation come of age that has rediscovered how to erect the middle finger and direct it at the fools in the suits when times require it.
Our school just instituted N 95s for the pre schoolers "because vaccines for them aren't available yet". This was once a school known for its free thinking and it has vanished in two years. This is probably the mildest Covid will ever get, so anything we see now will probably be around for along time, and this is why we have made plans to leave this state.
Schools are engaged in outright child abuse and they are escalating in many areas. I feel for the parents who must decide how best to protect their children from what is clearly a depraved group of adults. But if parents do not step up, these measures will scar their children for life, and when the kids realize what their parents did not do to protect them, there will be anger and recrimination for the lifetimes of both generations. I do not think most parents understand the harm that is falling to their children and to their future relationships with their children. But they will reap the whirlwind if they do not wake up and take action.
please explain to them that viruses are 1.3 microns and the holes in the masks are 100 microns at least. n95 makes no difference, ask someone who works in level 4 biohazard labs. they have suits and separate air supplies and negative atmosphere rooms and sophisticated air con. yet we still get lab leaks!
It seems there is a mass migration happening and I totally understand this. I’m so glad I pulled my daughter out of school in October. She is now doing online schooling and learning Spanish in Mexico. I am waiting to see if my state lifts their restrictions and mandates to decide whether she comes home or if I join her down there. Covid doesn’t seem to be a big issue down there; I’m happy she is living free from segregation and discrimination of the vaxxed/unvaxxed that was happening where live.
The desperation of the control freaks is increasingly obvious. They have become like the failing manager who has only micromanaging skills and tries to apply it to every person on the team. They always fail and usually without grace. It's everyone's fault but theirs.
I read the headline from the NYT about January 6th and podcasts. Thought about it for a bit and had Anarchy in the UK in my head. Then I read your post and realize why.
Some of us weren't just wearing a fashion when we loved punk and hated those in charge with their fear mongering, materialism and wars.
Thinking these kids are the grandchildren of the Woodstock generation. Isn't it curious that a surprisingly large percentage of the "free love" crowd has bent the knee?(Last year, an event normally drawing old hippies swung the hammer with "masks required and enforced to the full extent of law" - and then had the nerve to add "in the spirit of Woodstock, Peace & Love".)
On point as always - this is a real shot in the arm for those of us who have stood tall these last few years but been told we are the fringe.
The way his voice tails off at “public health emergency” sounds like he is trying to convince himself more than anything else. Crazy how we’ve let these hypochondriacs take over society but as you say being a paranoid whiny attention seeker is slowly fading out of fashion.
The unions in UK do serve a purpose but have shown themselves to be more fascist than the zillionaire psychos making money out of this charade. Our so called teachers need to be fired and then we hire those that actually want to teach.
Cheryl, I love to read comments because so often I come away knowing something I didn't know before. I especially love when people share music. Thank you so much for mentioning this group. I decided to find it on youtube and what a treat! This is just terrific; at the point where the man in the audience whistled is the same point I shouted "yes!" sitting here at my kitchen table.
Aren't they great? Glad you tuned into them. I am with a ukulele group where I live and really want to play "Psycho Killer" like they do but haven't gotten much response from the other members of the group. View that one! :-) It rocks!
This is perfect for being shared with my 16 year old daughter, she loves Bowie and 70-80s rock, is in U.S. high school, and it's short enough to hold her attention and get something out of it. Thanks, El Gato
very small data points: I see daily high school (track) athletes practicing (affluent suburb; deep blue state) my sense is they are compliant (probably most are vaxxed) but mostly ignoring the scam at this point: zero masks, zero social distancing, zero evident anxiety (big contrast to 20, much of 21) - saw a delightful game of tackle-soccer yesterday - lots of close in wrestling,pushing, laughter. Primary school dismissal time (1-6 grade); carefully count outdoor masks/no masks: 50/50 - numerous of the masks improperly worn. Same % for parent/child clusters
An actual scientist ripping apart the ‘evidence’ provided from the education department that led to the reintroduction of masks in English schools. More people were ill in the masks group. 70% of teachers feel like masks protect them.
And then we wonder how we’re in this position, when policy is built on feelings
Adults have been marching their "dirty, disease ridden" children down to selfishly sacrifice them by forcing risky unnecessary "vaccines" into them. Maybe all we needed to do is ask them for their help instead.
Some kids are starting to express their frustrations with the outdoor lunch policy at my school, where they are forced to sit on cold concrete in sub freezing temperatures to eat. I'm fanning the flames of resistance, and I've gotten myself in some trouble with the admin for speaking against the policy to the students and parents. I'm openly rebelling against this nonsense now: now:https://allamericanwarriormonk.substack.com/p/notes-from-the-covid-classroom-3
Good for them! Now if only their parents would also stand up along with their kids and tell these unions full of pant shitting teachers that if they can't overcome their irrational fears then they can go find work elsewhere! Not sure how it is today in the schools of Wokeville but it used to be that those who finished degrees with only so-so standing took an extra year of 'education courses' and became teachers. Almost anyone with a decent knowledge base and reasonable personality can teach. Fairly good pay, pensions, summers off - advertise the positions and see who is willing to step up and replace those teachers who are crippled by their own fear!
Including David Bowie's wisdom blew me away. Interesting that the artists of that generation recognize totalitarianism and are completely against this nonsense. Clapton is publicly campaigning against it and is now a hated "anti-vaxxer". It looks like John Cleese, who has already blasted woke culture as disgusting, is on schedule this year to be banned from Twitter for his anti vax stance comments.
Finally a punk rock reference. I was starting to think punk was dead. I talk about this constantly. Where have all the anti-establishment punk rock kids gone? They all became groupthinkers and followers. Wow…
The parents of those kids: Hooray. The Teachers Union Fear Monger: If you have to quiver in fear, do it in the privacy of your own home. Preferably alone so you won't infect others.

I'll admit my mind went to a certain song as well.
"Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!"
Yep! Been considering that for a protest sign!
Great minds... lol
"Maverick's supersonic. I'll be there in 30 seconds."
That statement is written on signs posted in front lawns in my county. I love it!!!
Geez, I posted mine before I read yours. Great minds!!
It’s on loop at work

And doing pathetic covid interpretive dances... Remember those?
Here too Canada
Except the youth up here could use some lessons from those unruly Brit kids.
"only 67 children out of 1300 submit to" - In Canada it's the other way around sadly.
It’s insane. You have no idea how relieved I am that my kids are not part of the Zombie Apocalypse. Every single one of their friends is jabbed.

Comrade Lightfoot whinging about abandoning science and data has to be among the highest peaks of the colossal cordillera of covidian cant yet.
These people are simply astounding.
Especially since you have to have a vax pass to do anything in Chicago.
I would be surprised if Chicago teachers go back to work before the end of the school year. They had it pretty good with 1.5 years of working at home in their jammies and they won't give that up.

Wait until the Xian variant hits. No one will ever do anything again, damned scairdy cats.'
The UK government(s) are all in favour of treating kids like sh*t. There will be no Reagan style sackings.

Being called “extremist” by a relative is, shall I say, bracing?
The wedge issue—the psyop—has been working.
So desperately important that truth prevails.
Rock on, kids.
them: "what are you rebelling against?"
me: "whadda ya got?"
Tucking fotally, Gato. Never did “fit”. Now I see how that may save my life.
Jab me not.
Funny, isn't it. I am a natural contrarian. I have always stuck out and gone my own way. And I am fine with that. I don't have an issue with MY "mental health" . . . unlike some.
Me too. It why we are on this side of the battle. The other day I noticed I was wearing the same shoes as everyone else…got different ones
Haha! Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to reassess. Or however that quote goes... ;-)
I hope they are red! symbol of "authority" and "martyrdom". At least with the pope is willing to don them...
The conformists’ transport is cattle cars.
As only a punk ass kitty would say…Purr On!
I'm curious how your covidian family feels about vaxx efficacy. How many jabs are too many jabs? How often is too often? They've taken 2 or 3 injections of an experimental "vaccine" to protect against a virus with a global IFR of 0.15%. I don't think any of them should be questioning our judgement...about anything.
I think it’s really my fault they went full Covidian. Because I tried to warn them against it. Shoulda found a homeless wino to tell them. Would’ve been more effective.
They’ll vax to the max.
I asked a triple vaccinated friend of mine "How many jabs will be too many ? 4,5,6 or more ?"
He replied "I will gladly take a booster shot every six months for the rest of my life."
About 4 or so more then.
Should we start a betting "dead pool"? LOL. Kind of morbid but kind of funny too.
I think our friend Dr Yeadon pointed out that there’s no telling what the contents of that next jab will be. I’m not risk averse, and I have the history to prove it, but there’s virtually nothing to gain from taking the chance and the downside is becoming more evident.
It's about depopulation, but they want to make a killing while they're doing it.
They’re amassing money for a purported global green project, or that’s what Prince Charles talked about in Glasgow. Spooky.
They don’t think, they only follow.
I've had a few rude awakenings lately. I have some old friends who have said either openly or I've heard 2nd hand that non vaxxed should not be ALLOWED around the vaxxed. Yesterday I had the choice of making a (routine) cardiologist appointment a phone appointment or postponing. I was told that the dr. decided to do phone only for unvaxxed for a few weeks. No big deal for me, I don't know what they would have done for a less healthy patient; probably forward to ER. I've known this doctor for about 25 years.
I just discovered that my ex husband had a ‘family’ Christmas dinner in NY (he has 3 older kids who live in NY and LA) and they did not allow my son to attend because he’d only had the first jab (in order to be allowed to ‘access’ NY) while they are all double vaxxed and bolstered. So insane.
I am so sorry for your son.
A non vaxxed friend related his experience: his sister planned a family Christmas get together, they are all 2x or 3x vaxxed and planned to set up a testing facility before entering their home to ensure no virus got in the house.

Thank you.
We keep seeing it everywhere: viral transmission in ‘vax only’ events. How can this attitude and these mandates even be seriously considered? It’s gotten to the point where I almost feel embarrassed for these people.
They'll be true Covidians until their last gasp, which will likely not too far off for the vaxxed.
I challenge each of you. Every single one. Do at LEAST ONE thing today in defiance. ANYTHING! Don't wear a mask at the airport until you board the plane. Don't wear one at the grocer. Something. Anything.

Be bold and courageous!!!

Yes. I have been thru airports quite a bit the past year and while I am the ONLY one (in a VERY LARGE, BUSY airport, top 15 worldwide) not wearing a mask, I am NEVER confronted.
I only have to pretend to put it on right after TSA fantasy security performance and then while boarding.
Here is the problem. With all due respect to Albert Einstein who intoned that compound interest was the greatest force on earth.
The REAL greatest force on earth is PEER PRESSURE. Very few want to stick out. Most folks are cowards.
Don't be. Be strong and courageous!!
Or just to annoy the hell out of people. We must all connect with our inner "Calvin & Hobbes" mischief oriented mindset.
Simple stuff like "Never put on a mask until asked to do so"; "Walk around sipping coffee with you mask off or chinstrap"; "Constantly coughing when compelled to wear a mask".
Be creative, be annoying, have fun :)
I NEVER wear a mask in shops. Greetings from Oxford, England.
Well done. Keep it up.
Been doing just that for 22 months. ZERO affect other than to have my wife and kid tell me to mask up, which I don’t. Invasion of the body snatchers.
I do every day. It’s scary but EMPOWERING AS HELL
Actually, in 2020 I did have some angst when being the only unmasked person in a public space/store.
But at some point in 2021, after having had Covid, knowing I was immune, I no longer had any fear or angst when going out. I try not to feel contempt or pity for the sheep around me, but I must say, it is hard not to.
In the end, I think we are doomed. It will simply be too easy for the authorities to shout "Existential Climate Crisis" to get people to cower in fear again.
I am depressed. But I fight on.
Me too, depressed but it comes in waves. We have to rise above this for our kids❤️
Airplanes are the one place where I mask up. Not because I want to but because I want to avoid mask nazis and getting put in federal prison and on no-fly lists. however I haven't flown for 6 months and I just picked my kid up at the airport a few days ago and sat happily in the baggage area waiting for her almost an hour, unmasked the entire time, with multiple security and cops walking by as well as hundreds of people, not a peep out of any of them. Thank God. They probably wished they were unmasked too.
I do that every day. In one form or another. Never have I been negatively approached. Yet.
Our neck of the woods. Great news. My son's a proud Cheshire lad. Fertile soil up here for insurrection against lummox's from London.
Courage, cousin. Stay the course.
There really is no other option.
Do you think Boris has completely bungled his handling of the north following the collapse of the "Red Wall" ? I hail from West Yorks and used to work in Cheshire. I suspect attitudes are hardening against Boris, who has thrown away his opportunity to do right by the north.
He like Macron, Biden, Trudeau etc. Seems to be taking his orders from some hidden in plain sight global authority or copying each other so badly that they have no autonomy or freewill to exercise in their leadership.
The manifestation is the Red Wall that was broken and went blue won't remain blue. (US folks we have our colours the other way around) but equally Red is split now and has abondoned the working class so what will emerge afterwards is unknown. There was little appetite for Reclaim/Reform/new parties in local council elections last year. The by election had yellow libdem protest vote but I can't see that continuing unless libdems tie themselves to the freedom mast and show authentic action between now and the next elections.
We likely have a global depression about to hit too (although nothing is set in stone there hyper-production is occurring more and more places and sectors like Tesla/Amazon)
Much for me to ponder. The LibDem win (gosh, are they still around?) seems a manifestation of dissatisfaction with both the Cons and Labour.
BTW my daughter lives in Nick Clegg's old constituency . . . she was so glad to vote that weasel out.
i would have been one of those dissenters, looking back on my childhood i was always the one that said no and meant it.
keep it up kids!
Yep, I was that girl in parochial school who was always questioning the nuns. Was taken out into the hall and wrote the same crap on the blackboard 100 times after school quite a lot. I’m still that girl in an old lady’s skin. Be ungovernable!
Yeah, me too. My parents were great- never imposed any rules that didn't have a good reason. It was the rest of the authorities- at school, etc. - that ticked me off. After first day in kindergarten, my mother asked me how school was. I replied I didn't like it. This was the shape of things to come. In high school I read Thoreau - Civil Disobedience and The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail. I was often stuck in in-school suspension, and let them do it multiple times before the principal yielded to me. Always in disobedience of some nonsense or authoritarian diktat or another. My parents supported me, though Mum said I was likely the cause of every gray hair she had. My parents were actually quite conservative in most respects, but they both bucked authorities when it mattered.
Younger generations today (here in the US anyway) don't seem to have that spirit as much. They seem to wait for the authorities to give them permission to rebel against them. They kind of need a CIA backed color revolution to join -- to protest the CIA backed color revolution. I'm hoping this will change, but they may need us oldies to show them how it's done.
They are out there...in small numbers trying to be heard, but still at the age of caring what their friends think of them, so it's hard for them...
Yeah, it's symptomatic but I've noticed in the last several years that, even when there are no cars coming at an intersection kids press the button and stand there and wait for the sign to tell them it's okay to walk, often after having stopped a bunch of cars that arrived after they could have crossed the street without waiting.
I told my mom to "go to hell" in second grade...yeah that kind of kid. (P.S.- soap on a toothbrush tastes awful, but I am still that "kid" at heart!) :-)
i was pretty good to my parents to be fair, it was the teachers and other adults i wouldnt take any crap from. the looks on their faces was gold when they tried to get me to do something i objected to :D
'i dont care what your rules are'
As an educator for over 40 years, I LOVED those kids...my favorites! :-)
Funny. I was a pain in the arse at times (too smart for my own good). After finishing University aged 22, I met up with my form teacher from when I was 11 (so hadn't seen him in a decade). "Oh yes, I remember you . . . I'm not surprised you've done well for yourself, your sort always do" he said. I still remember that comment, and I'm in my 50's now.
Absolutely!! :-)
According to my mother, I went through a spell of ignoring my parents so hard when I was a toddler, they actually scheduled an appointment with the pediatrician to test my hearing. But then I reacted to hearing the ice cream truck coming from blocks away and then they figured out that I was just ignoring them.
When my kids were little, I had to keep reminding myself that it was a GOOD thing to raise strong-willed young'uns, lol. Over and over throughout the years this was my mantra. Now we have three more strong-willed adults in the family, two of which are raising their own strong-willed children. I see this as a good thing.
Great story! :-)
Ditto.
And the children shall lead the way … doing what the adults aren’t brave enough to do !!
What are they going to do ?
Ground them ? Send them to bed without supper ?
I say we all join them … laughing and dancing in the streets without masks. Have the kids act like kids, and the adults dress up in fancy dress and have an outdoor fete !
Make them show up as the Gestapo they are, with dogs and water cannons…. As Gandhi showed, there aren’t ENOUGH prisons to hold an UNGOVERNABLE populace z
Viva le Badcat !!!
I've never had a mask on in the street, even though it's mandated again here. Finally seeing that there are a few others resisting. bit by bit.
18 months ago a cop car with FOUR cops in it pulled to the curb in Condado to tell me to mask up.
FOUR of them, cruising for mask scofflaws. As if there’s nothing else in Puerto Rico to worry about. Like muggings and drug trafficking and epidemic gun crimes, etc.
Nope. Send out FOUR cops in ONE cruiser to tell me - all alone, outside, no one within a country mile - to put my mask on.
Effing, effing demented. Morons.
Presumably because solo maskless people pose less risk to them than confronting gangs of armed muggers?
We've got to get the dogs over to our side somehow
Excellent. I keep praying students in my district will organize and say no to it all too!
"Public health emergency!" This reminds me of when all the corporate media declared that a victory for Brexit would mean Britain would run out of medical supplies in a few months and people would start starving in the streets from no trade. Sounds like some of the Brits in the North are wising up to the globalist con.
As always, claws on target, gato. It's when they start locking up and murdering kids that things start to get really.... um, wait... oh, shit.
Holy fuck. Maybe there is hope for the next generation.
Something that these kids will learn is that there's always an answer to "or else what?"
Sometimes it's serious - you get physically removed from a passenger aircraft or refused entry to a country.
Sometimes it's trivial - the school nurse sends a "sternly worded letter" and nothing else happens.
In this case, it will probably be more like the latter. Good job, pupils!
And sometimes these kids will be taken from their regular classrooms and either put into a special education program or possibly institutionalized and fed a diet of drugs designed to make them compliant. I wish them the best of luck. Perhaps strength in numbers might do the trick?
A possibility
But you grow up and you calm down
And you're working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
And you're working for the clampdown
Another great one off the album! Guns of Brixton goes through my head a lot recently.
"guns of brixton" and "death or glory" on the same record were the literal alpha and omega of the punk movement.
the clash saw the whole arc coming. london calling is a magnum opus album.
Come on, Kitty! Know Your Rights off the Combat Rock album.
Yes!
I am 19. NO mask, vaccine, social distancing. Unfortunately everyone else I know is part of the psychosis. Feels lonely AF.
Sorry, kid. If it is any consolation, my 3 young adults, 25, 29, 31 are not vaxxed. Most of their circles are, though. Stay strong and sane. The Truth is being crucified again but the Resurrection follows. You will be there to witness the glory. Desolation become consolation. Pax
What is the 'public health emergency'? His?
Is he afraid that they might lop his head off?
Right on, theres no emergency. I know what an emergency looks like, as a health professional, and this is most certainly not an emergency!!
Is that an emergency or a possible solution?
Asking for the guillotine crowd.
So many college kids had no problem complying with mandates and testing. I was so disappointed. But maybe the younger children will be the ones to make a stand.
I absolutely enjoy reading your blog, bad kitty. You are really the best kitty.
Living 35 miles west of the cesspool of Wash DC, I can tell you I am officially sick of the bull shit. all of it.
yesterday I took a little drive south on Rt 28 and over to Bristow to see my 3 grand babies 2,3 and 4. They are angels, and such a blessing. On the drive to, and home I was equally brightened to see at least a dozen cars with #FJB in large 8 inch letters.
I could never put that on my car bc I do not want my car "keyed" or otherwise destroyed by some angry leftist.
All of these progressives irritate the heck out of me now
I saw several billboards in Kentucky that had “Let’s Go Brandon” on them. 😂😂 they were put up by an ammo shop.
Get a Tesla with#fjb emblazoned on the side and Security mode you can prosecute all those lefties with video footage of them keying it. And then buy Tesla's for all your grandkids.
You just gave me a great idea. Cars are dirty here 'cuz the snow; it will be a great time to finger-write #FJB on parked cars with "biden" or other lefty stickers.
I wonder if that is a sin...
Academics and K12 teachers are completely around the bend now. My little liberal arts college is now requiring boosters, kn95 masks in and out (and all day) AND remote learning for the foreseeable future, and stay in your room, and test weekly etc, etc. This is repeated everywhere for these elite schools. Students are sick of it, (at least those who have some sense). The rank insanity and fanaticism is now off the charts. So, expect the kids to just say F-You! more. This is a very good outcome as the youth had become extremely conservative (not in a republican sense, but in an obedience to authority sense) and conformist in the last decade (the most uninspired and clueless students I have taught in 30 years). It will be refreshing to see a generation come of age that has rediscovered how to erect the middle finger and direct it at the fools in the suits when times require it.
Our school just instituted N 95s for the pre schoolers "because vaccines for them aren't available yet". This was once a school known for its free thinking and it has vanished in two years. This is probably the mildest Covid will ever get, so anything we see now will probably be around for along time, and this is why we have made plans to leave this state.
Schools are engaged in outright child abuse and they are escalating in many areas. I feel for the parents who must decide how best to protect their children from what is clearly a depraved group of adults. But if parents do not step up, these measures will scar their children for life, and when the kids realize what their parents did not do to protect them, there will be anger and recrimination for the lifetimes of both generations. I do not think most parents understand the harm that is falling to their children and to their future relationships with their children. But they will reap the whirlwind if they do not wake up and take action.
please explain to them that viruses are 1.3 microns and the holes in the masks are 100 microns at least. n95 makes no difference, ask someone who works in level 4 biohazard labs. they have suits and separate air supplies and negative atmosphere rooms and sophisticated air con. yet we still get lab leaks!
It seems there is a mass migration happening and I totally understand this. I’m so glad I pulled my daughter out of school in October. She is now doing online schooling and learning Spanish in Mexico. I am waiting to see if my state lifts their restrictions and mandates to decide whether she comes home or if I join her down there. Covid doesn’t seem to be a big issue down there; I’m happy she is living free from segregation and discrimination of the vaxxed/unvaxxed that was happening where live.
The desperation of the control freaks is increasingly obvious. They have become like the failing manager who has only micromanaging skills and tries to apply it to every person on the team. They always fail and usually without grace. It's everyone's fault but theirs.
I read the headline from the NYT about January 6th and podcasts. Thought about it for a bit and had Anarchy in the UK in my head. Then I read your post and realize why.
Some of us weren't just wearing a fashion when we loved punk and hated those in charge with their fear mongering, materialism and wars.
Great score - sure sounds a lot better than "Let's Vax" or "Moderna Love" (if the CDC owned the Bowie library)
Thinking these kids are the grandchildren of the Woodstock generation. Isn't it curious that a surprisingly large percentage of the "free love" crowd has bent the knee?(Last year, an event normally drawing old hippies swung the hammer with "masks required and enforced to the full extent of law" - and then had the nerve to add "in the spirit of Woodstock, Peace & Love".)
Not just bent the knee; bent over fully from the waist.
When irony rules, truth is exiled. And vice versa.
Thanks for the update! It's our job to educate the kids that freedom is worth fighting for. Meanwhile over here in Israel...

On point as always - this is a real shot in the arm for those of us who have stood tall these last few years but been told we are the fringe.
The way his voice tails off at “public health emergency” sounds like he is trying to convince himself more than anything else. Crazy how we’ve let these hypochondriacs take over society but as you say being a paranoid whiny attention seeker is slowly fading out of fashion.
The unions in UK do serve a purpose but have shown themselves to be more fascist than the zillionaire psychos making money out of this charade. Our so called teachers need to be fired and then we hire those that actually want to teach.
BOWIE!
He was my idol, I have all his vinyl albums and just…Bowie, you’ve returned me to my youth of hopes and dreams.
Thank you…we can be HEROS❤️
Ohhhh love that song! And the British Ukulele Orchestra does it brilliantly! (it's on youtube...sorry for no link!)
Cheryl, I love to read comments because so often I come away knowing something I didn't know before. I especially love when people share music. Thank you so much for mentioning this group. I decided to find it on youtube and what a treat! This is just terrific; at the point where the man in the audience whistled is the same point I shouted "yes!" sitting here at my kitchen table.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zCdwBqfmYA
They're awesome. Puts me in mind of those cool a capella groups that do well-known songs...
Aren't they great? Glad you tuned into them. I am with a ukulele group where I live and really want to play "Psycho Killer" like they do but haven't gotten much response from the other members of the group. View that one! :-) It rocks!
Also, Robert Burns, from thr poem "A Man's a Man":
"The man o’ independent mind,
He looks an’ laughs at a’ that"
and
"The pith o’ Sense an’ pride o’ Worth
Are higher rank than a’ that."
This is perfect for being shared with my 16 year old daughter, she loves Bowie and 70-80s rock, is in U.S. high school, and it's short enough to hold her attention and get something out of it. Thanks, El Gato
Admirers of Bad Cattitude should also read Robert Kennedy's THE REAL DR. FAUCI. Much of the same message from someone within the Beltwayl.
very small data points: I see daily high school (track) athletes practicing (affluent suburb; deep blue state) my sense is they are compliant (probably most are vaxxed) but mostly ignoring the scam at this point: zero masks, zero social distancing, zero evident anxiety (big contrast to 20, much of 21) - saw a delightful game of tackle-soccer yesterday - lots of close in wrestling,pushing, laughter. Primary school dismissal time (1-6 grade); carefully count outdoor masks/no masks: 50/50 - numerous of the masks improperly worn. Same % for parent/child clusters
Guess they did or expect kids with a backbone!
They all probably watched a bunch of people on TikTok smoking weed with a mask on, and knew right away it was BS.
STAND FIRM!! I hope they can but will the "government" say they are bad parents and threaten to take the kids????????
that would be the kickstart of the revolution

An actual scientist ripping apart the ‘evidence’ provided from the education department that led to the reintroduction of masks in English schools. More people were ill in the masks group. 70% of teachers feel like masks protect them.
And then we wonder how we’re in this position, when policy is built on feelings
Oh, if only I could be a kid in school again knowing what I know now what fun I could have!
Ask me how many times I've said that...🙄
Hopefully we're raising the greatest libertarian generation in centuries.
I'm doing my part. I had my son reading Hazlitt's 'Economics in One Lesson' when he was 12.
My town has several book kiosks on the side of the roads which I periodically seed with copies of Hazlitt and Anatomy of the State.
My version of public service.
Adults have been marching their "dirty, disease ridden" children down to selfishly sacrifice them by forcing risky unnecessary "vaccines" into them. Maybe all we needed to do is ask them for their help instead.
Oooh— what supplements can we take to bolster our “societal immune system”? Sign me up!
bitchute, rumble, gab, zerohedge, substack, clusterfuck nation, unz.com etc.
How many will fall right in line if the school makes it compulsory? I’m thinking all of them.
Some kids are starting to express their frustrations with the outdoor lunch policy at my school, where they are forced to sit on cold concrete in sub freezing temperatures to eat. I'm fanning the flames of resistance, and I've gotten myself in some trouble with the admin for speaking against the policy to the students and parents. I'm openly rebelling against this nonsense now: now:https://allamericanwarriormonk.substack.com/p/notes-from-the-covid-classroom-3
Keep up the good work.
If only adults did the same.
Good for them! Now if only their parents would also stand up along with their kids and tell these unions full of pant shitting teachers that if they can't overcome their irrational fears then they can go find work elsewhere! Not sure how it is today in the schools of Wokeville but it used to be that those who finished degrees with only so-so standing took an extra year of 'education courses' and became teachers. Almost anyone with a decent knowledge base and reasonable personality can teach. Fairly good pay, pensions, summers off - advertise the positions and see who is willing to step up and replace those teachers who are crippled by their own fear!
these kids' parents did something right--on purpose or not!!!

Turn it up.
Including David Bowie's wisdom blew me away. Interesting that the artists of that generation recognize totalitarianism and are completely against this nonsense. Clapton is publicly campaigning against it and is now a hated "anti-vaxxer". It looks like John Cleese, who has already blasted woke culture as disgusting, is on schedule this year to be banned from Twitter for his anti vax stance comments.
"Putting out fire...with gasoline!" Another fine Bowie lyric - now what was that movie... seems appropriate for this forum....
Finally a punk rock reference. I was starting to think punk was dead. I talk about this constantly. Where have all the anti-establishment punk rock kids gone? They all became groupthinkers and followers. Wow…
Where are the college kids?! Why are they lining up for shot #3 before returning to school?! And willingly paying big bucks with huge debt to do so?
We have a bumper sticker that says, "Masks don't work." Might add one that says, "Vaccines, either."
The parents of those kids: Hooray. The Teachers Union Fear Monger: If you have to quiver in fear, do it in the privacy of your own home. Preferably alone so you won't infect others.
Man that whole generation is a mess.
