I am an Albertan. There are pockets of Canada like the lower mainland of BC, Vancouver Island and Toronto that are absolutely batshit crazy. And they have the votes and the seats. Combine that with compliant and fearful maritime provinces on the east coast that are used to decades of receiving government handouts and transfer payments from successful provinces. And then you have Quebec, who wants whatever is good for Quebec, won't allow pipelines Alberta needs but happy to take Alberta's transfer payments. Quebec claims this is for environmental reasons but then dumps raw sewage into the St Lawrence River. Our country is a mess, and many in Alberta and Saskatchewan are wanting out of this dysfunctional country.
This makes so much sense. I’m a Canadian of convenience living in Texas and I always wondered what the hell was wrong with my insane Canadian relatives. Even the maritimes
I live in Victoria BC and I can confirm they are bat-shit crazy here. People riding their bikes down the street - alone - wearing masks. I shit you not.
I went to the hospital for tests and they have a woman standing at the door sanitizing her hand and handing everyone a brand new mask. She sanitizes her hands every time.
And then on the other side of weird, I saw an Pilipino guy wearing a a black cloth mask as he walked down the street and then he took it off right before he went into the building. I assume that he likes hiding his face, or thinks he looks ominous or tough?
That's a real possibility. Es muy macho, si! Where I live in the heart of the Emerald Triangle in NorCal we have many Mexican cartel foot soldiers in our teeny tiny town (less, now that the cannabis market has collapsed - there's always a silver lining). These young dudes actually love to wear their masks, everywhere, indoors and out. Maybe they've just seen too many narcotraficante movies (I've seen three-year-old toddlers watching these, day and night, they start 'em young), wanna look like badass hombres? Most are them are just lonely, bored and worried young men working for nothing, trying to keep El Jefe back in Zacatecas from harming their sweet little abuelita if they don't bring home the bacon. I feel sorry for them, mostly. But the mask thing does turn my stomach. I know it isn't healthy.
Theo Fleury has been speaking out, his Tucker Carlson appearance was good to watch. And Ryan Whitney (I think he is American) singlehandedly helped end some Federal covid restrictions at airports due to his twitter rant at Pearson in Toronto. He embarrassed our leaders into doing something. Jamie Sale, Olympian gold medal figure skater has also been vocal. So there have been a few athletes speaking out.
I know nothing about Canada, but wonder if Quebec could be persuaded to accept a pipeline from Alberta if it meant additional cash for Quebecers. In other words, are the terms of the proposed pipeline deals just not attractive for Quebec?
Pipelines are a federal jurisdiction, so they could be built if the feds wanted too. However, they have shut down the pipelines applications to the BC and east coast. Might have to do with a prominent political family in Canada having shares in Irving oil and that refinery in the maritimes is supplied by supertanker with Saudi oil. As I said before, we are a dysfunctional country when you prefer to get oil abroad from dictators instead of supplied by fellow countrymen. Meanwhile throwing away the oil royalties that would go into your own country's coffers. Throw in gender requirements and you can see where many oil companies prefer to invest in other countries.
"Conservative politician Andrew Scheer stated in November 2017 that Canada should ban the import of oil from Saudi Arabia due to human rights and environmental concerns.[6] In December 2018 Scheer demanded that the gender-based analysis requirement imposed on Canadian pipeline projects by the Liberal government be instead applied to oil imported from Saudi Arabia"
" ... gender-based analysis requirement imposed on Canadian pipeline projects by the Liberal government be instead applied to oil imported from Saudi Arabia"
that lays bare the lie of Western democratic ethics -- double standards abound. you gotta love what Biden's doing with Saudi Arabia right now. such a stark example of Western ethical hypocrisy.
They already get cash from Alberta. They see it as their due. It's not fair that Alberta has all of these natural resources and they don't. Despite being "a country within a country," they believe that ALL natural resources (outside of QC) belong to the whole country, and the benefits therefrom should be shared.
You know, despite doing everything they can to shut down said resources, and separate from Canada every couple decades or so.
The difference with Alberta and Quebec is when we say we want to separate, we do, and we will. Quebec uses it to negotiate more goodies but know they have it better staying in Canada then out. The Alberta GDP per capita in 2022 is $78,155. As our own country we would rank 5th in the world, right behind #4 Qatar and ahead of Switzerland.
Canada is a lot like California, Seattle, basically the west coast to me now.
Beautiful places, love to visit. No longer want to live there.
Canada we can't even visit if not vaccinated, so no Vancouver visit / tourist dollars this year. No way my kids are getting those shots.
There were many good options for LNG plants in Western Canada years ago, maybe one is still moving forward today, woodfibre lng. Environmentalists have made many things like these almost impossible to build.
Not necessarily. It tends to be a city vs rural thing. I live in a city where there is a huge mall that attracts tourists over holiday seasons when kids are out of school. You can easily pick out the visiting small town folk by how they dress, hairstyles etc (I can call them that because I was one of them and grew up in the time warp of a small town) and they are not the mask wearers even when it was mandated. Common sense tends to be more common outside the cities.
@Bart- I'm in NY but live a mile from the Canadian border. We have a mall the Canadians love to visit (read: take over on the weekends. No lie. They even protested one year telling us Americans to stay away on the weekends so they could have it to themselves. not) and many shoppers are Asian. They were wearing masks long before Covid was a thing. Decades. It stems from the pollution from their ancestral homelands. The mask wearing seems to have evolved into a cultural thing.
Wearing masks in Japan is a national mania that began long ago. There are even special therapists to help you get past your fear of EVER removing your mask (like, in the bath?).
The masks were the single most destructive thing of the past 2.5 years because they incited and prolonged the hysteria. No smiles, no human interaction, no emotion other than fear and panic. People still wearing them get my worst scorn face - this needs to be deeply unpopular.
During the height of maskomania, I started taking the self-dehumanizing of the maskoholics at, so to speak, face value. I'd refuse to make eye contact, and behave as though I were utterly unaware of their presence. If a group of them came walking down the sidewalk, I'd simply refuse to move out of their way, and inevitably in they little game of chicken the timid creatures would part like Red Sea.
It was fun in a sociopathic, antisocial, sophomoric kind of way. Jerk move to be sure but at that point, well they had their emotional coping mechanism and I needed mine.
When I’m talking to one, I always - ALWAYS - eventually will say, “I’m sorry, I can’t hear you. You have that thing over your mouth.” Usually they yell louder, but quite often they’ll just take it off. Idiots.
I truly can't hear them. They are usually soft speakers, anyway, being the docile sort; and I have trouble hearing when there is ambient noise. I just say to them, "I can't understand a word you are saying through that mask."
I feel a little guilty because I play chicken as well. I am not the one who moves out of the way. Hopefully, these folks are unarmed, if not my days may be numbered.
My theory was simple: their masking is a sign of weak personalities; they would exhibit other traits of emotional frailty. Haven't been proven wrong yet.
Same. My attitude: You can move for me. I had to do enough moving (going to stores that didn't enforce; doing business a whole county over, oh, and QUITTING MY FUCKING JOB) for you.
Oh, I didn't even make that connection! I'm also a big ER fan. Sad to say, I don't think Dr. Carter would have been a brave COVID physician. Love him, but he had woke tendencies and I don't see him being the one to call out the stupidity.
I could maybe see Benton or Ross taking a Covid stand. Weaver would be the ultimate mask and vax true believer. How about Romano? I think he would think it's all BS but be more than willing to play any game he needed to.
I like to ask if it is because of fear of covid or for another reason, and add, if you are still worried about Covid, I can give you some protocols that the doctors on the Covid wards use that work better than masks.
I did have one lady say that she likes them because she is a hairdresser and hated getting hair in her nose and mouth when she cuts hair. Otherwise I get a lot of mumbling and shuffling and averted eyes.
My favourite outrage is from the fats, who will sometimes admonish me that they're in a high-risk group and therefore I need to be considerate of their safety. To which I reply, given that you've let yourself become morbidly obese, you don't seem to care much about your health, so why do you expect me to?
Visited an art museum and most unmasked. A group of school children came in-maybe a summer art camp-and I initially thought oh great the kids are learning about art. Then I saw they were all masked along with their teacher. Ugh poor kids.
Yes the majority of the cultural Institutions around this country have been a huge part of keeping this mask messaging and Woke messaging going. Just look at these institutions ‘manifestos’ in any major city in the US (and even the smaller ones in smaller cities & towns)!
The other day my local library hosted a magic show. Most of the kids were unmasked and happily so, but there was one family, young mother, two preschool age kids, all masked. I was so tempted to ask them, When do you think it will be safe to go out in public unmasked? And what are your kids learning about life and risk? To be scared of every little thing because someone in charge told them to be?
I too often have the same kind of questions swirling around in my head that I’m dying to ask these parents that have their kids (as well as themselves) masked up outside of the home! I look on these parents now as suffering from a mental illness.
It was really, truly horrible, I can't disagree. Was it worse than being forced to choose a pharmaceutical that had no safety data or putting food on the table and a roof over your family's head? Probably not for those in that situation, I'm gonna guess. I mean, maybe you're right. Lots of people were willing to get it but masking was terrible for society in general.
It was all part and parcel. They needed to shame you into wearing masks so they could shame you into locking down and then shame you into getting the jab. Most people do not develop beyond high school with regards to philosophy or how they treat other people. If i understand this, then i'm sure the psychiatric industry does (which by the way .gov employed to find better ways to scare you). Its sad, i think mostly that industry hasn't been used to better mankind, but to control it.
Has anyone thought about why all of this was done? It wasn't because a virus. I've been watching finance like a hawk since 2008, waiting for the system to implode because they never fixed it then. All they've done since then is pile on more debt, rob people who save money on their own (instead of gambling in the stock market). This gentleman has a timeline that matches my own thinking and some of you might be interested in reading his thoughts:
There is another negative aspect as well that isn't discussed.
I have a grandson that turned 4 this year. He is in speech therapy because he doesn't really talk. There was a waiting list to get into speech therapy because a lot of kids his age don't talk.
Why? It appears you have to see lips moving to learn to speak. Thanks to the mask Karens, they are not able to learn to speak.
Even many "in the know" are still trapped in the virus story and the Covid merry-go-round.
Now I'm not talking about Germ Theory v. Terrain Theory, that's another discussion.
I'm simply talking about the fact that the official narrative of "Covid" is a fiction- all of it. It is an intelligence operation meant to do what you described.
There was no pandemic- EVER.
Once you have explored the details of these frauds it is easy to identify the scam as it is happening. The playbook is pretty much the same,the players are the same, they simply refine and expand their techniques. Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7. I have to say that the “messaging” is far more comprehensive, insidious and sophisticated with Operation Covidius than all others before by quantum leaps.
As long as good people continue to assert that this manufactured crisis was in fact an actual epidemiological event the ghouls that concocted this lie will have fertile ground to create the next one- which rest assured is in the pipeline.
"Covid" is the engineered destabilization of the global economy.
"COVID-19", the operation, is essentially a cover-up for systematic debt-leveraged monetary expansion.
"Covid-19", the disease, is nothing more than a disease of ATTRIBUTION to other causes.
I agree the official narrative is fiction and everything they forced on us was unjustified by data and previous experience.
However, I subscribe more to the school of thought that it was a bioweapon release. It was an actual novel virus that did spread easily and got a lot of people sick, and killed a good number. Of course many of the people it killed were already medically fragile and high percentage of the deaths wouldn't have happened if we had widespread early treatment. The suppression of prevention through health and early treatment is one of the most diabolical aspects of the whole thing.
The 'diagnosis' of "Covid" effectively permits dangerous protocols to be enacted that then increase the chance of mortality. This matters for several reasons. A pneumonia patient has a very good chance of surviving with correct support. However, if the patient tests ‘+’ for the non-existent pathogen an entirely different medical protocol goes into action and with this, there is little chance of survival.
The number of "Covid deaths" is cooked/manipulated due to how the CDC does their accounting- in short an audit of the CDC mortality numbers themselves is essential. The number of "Covid deaths" is grossly overinflated and here is how we had so many "Covid deaths:"
1) The first thing to be addressed is "who were these people?" The average age of a "Covid death" is around 78 in the US and 82 globally w/4 comorbidities. The majority of these people were from nursing homes, assisted living, hospice, died in hospitals etc.
What we had here in the US was a radical and mandatory shift in policies relating to care homes, hospitals and "Covid." These were mandated through various state policies (remove 8 states from US mortality rates in March/April 2020 and no excess will appear) which resulted in a concentrated death rate for a six week period in March/April. Take that out of the equation and there is no death rate to talk about. Put (or keep) these policies in place and we will have this happen every year;
2) The faulty diagnosis of what is a "Covid Death" did they die "with" or "from" Covid which is problematic for several reasons. In many cases an actual test was never done only a "presumed to be "Covid" assessment was put forth. Add to this that PCR with faulty specs (gene sequencing, cycle thresholds, annealing problems, faulty primers and so forth) were used. PCR can't diagnose anything in the first place and compounded with these problems they are useless and misleading;
3) No autopsies. Why were no autopsies done in the US? Why new mandates that halted all autopsies for "covid deaths" which went against decades long protocol?
On March 24,2020, they changed decades old protocol on how death certificates would be filed- this is a big one- giving special dispensation to "Covid deaths" and incentivized everyone under the sun to code all manner of deaths as U07.1 (COVID-19).
There was also gross negligence (beyond the usual) in these nursing homes that led to abandonment and medication alterations that turned these slow motion abattoirs into death houses. One of the remarkable things of note is that here in the US the "pandemic" was not widespread (which is supposed to be one of the defining features of a pandemic) but was in fact limited to very specific locations;
4) Another way they inflated death counts was through hospital admissions and again faulty PCR testing. So for example if one came in with a coronary condition you would be given a "Covid test" no matter what- all admissions required this- and then if you died while in the hospital you could have been listed as a "Covid death." This happened frequently throughout the year;
5) Home deaths is yet another way that figures were cooked. This was admitted point blank by Stephanie Buehle among others (NY Health spokesperson) who stated that home deaths with no testing at all would be "presumed Covid deaths." This was mandated through the NY Health Dept and elsewhere;
6) "Covid death" counts were forged- CDC instructed officials to certify any death as "caused by" COVID if the decedent tested positive prior to passing or was suspected of having C19, even if it wasn't the actual cause of death. Thus we have major misattribution. E.g., we have over 16,000 "accidental deaths" in the C19 death total;
We're also seeing unexplained declines in other common death categories because so many have been attributed to C19. The unprecedented broad definition of C19 death has created huge fraud in "Covid death" counts.
7) Huge spike in iatrogenic deaths caused by misattribution of "Covid" to incoming patients and the ensuing improper treatments applied e.g. remdesivir, ventilators and associated fentanyl dosages which killed thousands;
This has been a theory of mine as well. though i don't have any great knowledge of finance.
I did see that emergency low interest rates were introduced in 2008, and never went back to normal levels. To me that implied that we never actually recovered from that crisis. Extent and pretend.
Exactly, who has the most to lose in bankruptcy? (which we most definitely are, both moral and financially) Not the plebs, in every industry everything has consolidated to basically trans national corporations running the show. If you own your own biz you have a stake in things. Same thing goes for voting in a republic, you need to have skin in the game, which most people don't. It makes it easier for them to treat it like a sports team! Was talking with a gent the other day who told me everything would be better if Hillary Clinton had been elected and had no idea ten trillion in debt was added under Obamas terms. I almost fell off my stool, to him it just something you virtue signal with, not actually understand. Isn't it funny how their first actions in the "pandemic" was to bail themselves out again? How many hospitals were built because capacity? How many more nurses and doctors were hired to deal with the "pandemic"? Oh thats right, zero, they actually fired nurses and doctors..... during a "pandemic"........
Consider this: The economy was beginning to tank in 2019 and did in 2020, who's fault was it? But of course, Covid! The economy is tanking right now, who's fault is it? The Ukraine War! Now read that twitter thread below and see if it doesn't make more sense.
I wonder who will write the first history of "this"? My recollection is no, the hysteria preceded mask wearing and particularly by means of that master stroke: the "Asymptomatic Case" i.e all humans are a mortal danger to all other humans. Then a FOMO dynamic took over: Fear of Missing Out - masks were hard to come by late spring, summer of 2020; so there was this manic effort to obtain masks the subsequent wearing of which signaled that you were a winner and on board with the authorities. Then the dynamics self-amplify - as you suggest - limit human action is a response to fear and a promoter of fear.
And yes! - whatever it takes to break these still mask compliant people - I am trying for now a look of bemusement rather than scorn!
I see the mask and it’s like wearing a bicycle helmet in the shower. Might save your life but the absolute and relative risk is unmeasurably low and thus silly town.
You're right hysteria preceded masks. I don't recall the dynamic of mask shortages and getting one made you part of the "in crowd". They always seemed TOO abundant to me, then they started promoting cloth masks and those started popping up everywhere. Masks, masks everywhere! And not a drop of [common sense] water to drink.
and what fed that hysteria? Almost like it was done on purpose? Ah the media which is owned by six corporations! If you run the system its not a felony to yell fire in a movie theater ;)
Apparently there was such a shortage of masks in NY that Cuomo used them to make a 6th grade art project for the wall. Will someone please think of the maskless! Because Cuomo didn't give a shit.
I agree 100%. I have argued with friends of mine who are in "our side of the fence", who nonetheless believe that "vaccines" are really the only important issue. Masks are "just a nuisance" according to them. I say as you say, they have been the single most important fallacy to perpetuate the "pandemic".
We're splitting hairs. Again, I would say the "single most important fallacy" is that the shots are Safe And Effective. But I would agree that masks were a crucial prerequisite imposition for the vax campaign to get as much uptake as it did. They warped people's minds enough to get them softened up for the really important thing.
Jabs would probably not been accepted as widely without a year of masking people into submission. So masks and jabs go hand in hand as a destructive duo.
The masking pushed people, along with other measures, into mass formation and getting them ripe for some ol' totalitarian propaganda pushing down their throats to make them do basically anything the puppet masters wanted.
It's hard to isolate a single destructive measure, but masks are certainly the one I despise. After two years, I appreciate even what could be termed as "ugly" faces. The ugliest face is still better than a mask. It's like a wall that's been erected between you and the person wearing it. The fun part about this is when the masks are finally put away, will those that wore them no longer hide their true emotions because they had a mask to prevent the betrayal of their emotions?
I wear glasses. I spend the summer of 2020 angry every time I went out because I was forced to wear a mask in 85+ degree heat and my glasses fogged up. Constantly. Plus... I really don't do well in hot weather, and the mask made it worse. So... I was kind of bitchy all the time when I had to run normal errands.
And then I was smart enough to buy a symbolic mesh mask that was for show. That worked almost everywhere. And then I just stopped wearing them.
Since I am single and had no family, I was able to avoid most of it. Here in Georgia, the rules were ridiculous in that the restaurant staff had to wear masks, but the customers did not (please explain how that makes sense). When a lot of private businesses introduced Mask mandates in June of 2020, I steered clear of them. I was a legalist about signs. Instead of Krogers, I went to smaller ethnic Grocery stores that didn't mandate them. Finally, I got the guts to go to Krogers late at night to shop without a mask after hearing others doing the same. I walked right past a security guard who was wearing a mask and he waved me on through.
The few times I wore masks, they also fogged up my glasses, and of course everything smelled like "mask," I also had not trouble enunciating words.
In Ottawa Canada we can see your restaurant craziness, and raise you: unvaxxed staff could make and serve you food but they couldn't eat at their own restaurant! LOL
So I refused to wear masks here in CO amd forced uncomfortable confrontations everywhere. In 2020 and early 21 I had a few women grab me and thank me for giving them courage
Part of the problem with masks is you can't tell who is onboard vs. who is just going along to get along. I have worn a mask in some situations to go-along to get-along. I've worn masks in doctor's offices and on Uber rides when it was mandated. I am to the point now where I am rethinking that because I am realizing it's not going to go away on it's own.
That's the irony isn't it. You know medically after awhile, something isn't going to go away on it's own, so you know you have to see a doctor. But in order to see the doctor, you have to do something that you know needs to go away, but won't go away on it's own unless you do something about it. And that thing to do to get to that point is to risk not going to the doctor in order to stop something that won't go away on it's own.
I wear glasses also. In Canada the fogging hit going in and out of stores in the winter, as well as the steamy summer days. I carry a kerchief habitually (they are really handy! for all kinds of things) so I have a couple that are worn out as thin as gauze. I used those ones exclusively to minimize the fogging hassles. And of course, breathing was easier too.
@Ki- my daughter is a Pre-K administrator. She said the children, all from low income families, most without much encouragement from family, are WAAAYY behind their speech skills. The Kindergartens are now getting these kids with poor communication and speech skills.
I've read about this, particularly in the British context. Not only are kids behind in their language skills, there are stories of kindergarteners who still aren't potty trained. The lockdowns made an entire generation retarded.
That’s the craziest part. I have a <4 yo and this is the only world she’s ever really known. We were at the post office today and we’re the only ones not wearing a face diaper. It’s just bizarre that this is the world now
That was one of the low points for me. Seeing young children in masks every day when walking my dog, when it was clear that they made no difference and that the pandemic was massively overblown.
People still wearing them get my worst scorn face - this needs to be deeply unpopular.
-------
Back during the 3 weeks or so that unvaxxed people could go unmasked, basically everybody went unmasked. This REALLY REALLY upset the people who were still wearing masks. They would want into a store, realize they were THE ONLY ONE wearing a mask, and sort of freak out.
These people want the safety blanket of others wearing the mask, too.
When mask mandates were first dropped "for the vaccinated", the hilarious thing was that if you saw someone without a mask, there was a good chance they were one of the dirty unjabbed, whereas if you saw someone WITH a mask there was a very, very high probability that they were fully vaccinated. At this late date the former doesn't really hold anymore but the latter absolutely does.
Snipet from the excellent interview Ivor cummings had from Mattias Desmet:
[Regarding mass formation]…So this typical solidarity that always emerges when a mass forms is never a solidarity between individuals, it’s a solidarity of every individual with the collective, and the longer the mass formation exists the more all the solidarity and the energy is sucked away from the social bonds between individuals and is injected or invested in the bonds between individuals and the collective, meaning that in the end the solidarity with the collective is much stronger than the solidarity with other individuals, and that explains of course why during the corona crisis people were all talking about citizenship and solidarity and at the same time accepted that if someone got an accident across the street they were no longer allowed to help that person…
…and in the same vein people accepted that if their father or mother was dying somewhere that they were not allowed to visit them. So they fought this heroic battle for the sake of the elderly , for the solidarity with the elderly and at the same time they accepted the elderly should die alone or that they were not allowed to visit them during their last hours. So that’s a very typical solidarity which exist in a mass, it’s a very strong solidarity with the collective and not with individuals and that explains why every totalitarian state is always based on mass formation always ends up in a paranoid atmosphere in which every individual is prepared to report every other individual to the state if that other individual is not loyal enough to the state narrative…”
But please see it for yourself, it's really pleasant way to spend 1 hour learning:
This is horrifying. I would never have thought that the people staying away from dying relatives actually thought it was a good thing! Very glad no one in my family felt that way. When my grandmother was dying in the summer of 2020, all of us took turns visiting her. There were questions about what was the best thing to do, but ultimately no one thought it would be best for her to be alone. That is probably the tragedy that breaks my heart the most through all of this, all those elderly people dying alone, they shouldn't even be living apart from their families, nevermind dying apart from them. We have everything so backwards.
I'm more live and let live. Science has clearly shown that masks do not prevent COVID and indeed can cause other issues. However, so many people are watching 24/7 CNN fear mongering and they are deeply afraid. As long as they don't ask me to mask up, I just have compassion and let them continue on.
While I agree with you that we should live and let live, should we enable the behavior? I would go a step further and explain why masks don't work, break it down in very basic terms. Make it clear that why they might believe "it couldn't hurt" it certainly can't be helping.
I know what you're saying. However, I found when I try to tell friends or family taken in by the mass psychosis information on the vaccines or masks (no matter how fact based)
they tune me out and often get upset with me. Maybe it will have to come down to disdain. I do think we have to get assertive when it comes to masking and vaccines in our schools.
Interrupted a vet yesterday while she was giving my GATO his rabies shot- she started "explaining" why she was wearing her cute little Corgi mask someone probably made for her, "....a staff member tested + for covid so I am....." I didn't let her finish. Told her I don't talk "covid" and haven't for a year. She was pisssssssed....
Aren’t these people usually the one’s who wear clothing that says, “Love is Love”, “ Be a kind human” etc……and then turn around and belittle others for not following or believing what they do???
The words mean something different to them. Kinda like how they changed the definition of “vaccine” to suit their purposes. They speak a different language.
Dogs (here) have to have a license and you can't get a license without proof of rabies jab. Of course you can ignore the law, but our worry is that one of our dogs gets out of the fenced backyard and decides to investigate the neighborhood.
True, though many vets will measure titers and if they are sufficient (and they nearly always are), they will give you the rabies tag. All these pet cancers, auto-immune disease and injection site tumors have skyrocketed along with the skyrocketing number of jabs, same as childhood vax & childhood disease.
Other countries have dropped some of the most damaging shots/are waiting until far later to administer vax, and are spreading them further apart, but it isn’t enough. Gardisil, one of Billy from the GATES of hell’s personal
favorites, has rendered thousands of girls infertile and put them into early menopause at the ripe old age of 14! It has killed hundreds of boys and girls. It’s tragic. Openvaers.com #realnotrare
Yes, or you could call around to see who will and who will not, which will possibly get you out of an awkward scene if you don’t ask until you’re there.
My cat died 3 days after her rabies shot last September. I’m still perplexed as to why I let the vet give her the shot since, I myself swore to never get injected again after my violent reaction to Pfizer #2. Well, it’s definitely confirmed that I am forever an anti vaxxer nurse for all creatures.
Wise woman! Robert F. Kennedy, jr. has done so much to shield children from all the damaging effects of childhood vax. DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS is a fantastic read. There are hundreds of books and doctors who will convince you that all these shots are nearly as bad as these stupid covid jabs. MercolaPets and Dr. Ramey and others are doing much to shield pets.
Dr. Ronald Shultz has done studies to show that vaccines are effective for 7-9 years after just one vaccine after 4 months of age. He recommends only vaccinating once with the core vaccines. He is currently doing the Rabies Challenge to show that the rabies vaccine is good for the life of your pet. You don’t see veterinarians vaccinating themselves every year with the rabies vaccine do you…..
On a lighter note, yet still important, consider getting your gato and all pets titers for rabies, etc. An increasing number of vets are saying all this vaxxing is doing great harm
to our pets. Mercola Pets is a terrific place to start learning abt it. DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS and A SHOT in the DARK are 2 terrific books to read regarding childhood vax, and the best book I’ve ever read is THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI by RFK, jr. His Children’s Health Defense is doing marvelous things.
I transferred to another vet practice after 6 months of meeting in the parking lot and still being asked to mask. I said No, and took my (tres Gatos) business elsewhere.
I've concluded that when people feel the need to explain something about themselves (behavior, appearance, etc), it's because they feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about it.
Now now. "America" is a Settler-Colonialist term that represents epistemic violence against First Nations peoples. "Republic" is just pure patriarchal eurocentrism. The accepted terminology is People's Collective of Turtle Island.
We (Canadians) are complacent and trusting to the point of being gormless—especially the Toronto crowd. Most of my countrymen literally believe that the government has their best interests at heart; that a clown like Trudeau is sincere…You know, when he’s not wearing blackface and being overtly racist, or canning women who disagree with him, or involved in no less than three—on record—ethics scandals. “But that was so long ago,” they say (it wasn’t). As if racism, actual misogyny (not the ad hominem version we see so much of) or corruption have expiration dates.
People like me are generally ignored or avoided due their disagreeableness. So at least Chinada has one saving grace, I suppose.
Sorry. When you said “canning women”. I had a horrible pic flash into my over caffeinated brain as the answer to food shortages by globalists. You get my drift. I apologize. 😵💫
I live in Canada. We seem to be missing any kind of independence gene. Everyone just goes along to get along. You should have seen the complete astonishment on faces when educating people on the dangerous untested shots and they would always bow to authority: "what? are you smarter than a doctor?" The look on their faces when I said "yes a couple of my classmates became doctors - I blew them away in high school marks. Doctors aren't very smart, necessarily." Canadian brains sort of short circuit when they try to grasp that. It doesn't compute for them and they go blank. Very weird.
Bullseye. I often feel like a stranger in a strange land. At least in Alberta there is a little less of the zombie following authority mindset. By the way, that is a good retort. I too had higher high school marks than a classmate that became a specialist doctor. Being able to memorize doesn't necessarily equate to higher intelligence and it certainly doesn't correlate with having strong critical thinking skills.
And that is exactly the problem.. Most higher educated people are excellent and memorizing. When all you do is memorize you fall out of practice and your ability to critical think evaporates. Albert Einstein said something like we have forgotten the gift which is intuition. I'm butchering it but I'm sure many of you have heard of it. Intuition, logic and critical thinking is the gift, the rest of it is just indoctrination good or bad.
Ugh, we are not all like that. Plus, just listing UBC as an affiliate doesn't mean she's Canadian. I can't lie though, if it weren't for our families my husband and I would not have remained here.
I was about to say the same thing. I knew, instinctively. What has happened to the land of my birth and childhood? I am thankful every day that I no longer live there.
Your chess analogy reminded me that I was in a chess tournament once and my opponent, losing badly, got up and "accidentally" knocked over the board. It was an informal affair and no one was recording position so we started over. He later did the same thing to 3(!)other players. We called it the Rodney defense in his honor. These people are objectively losing badly and are attempting the Rodney defense. We must be careful to record the position of the pieces on the board.
Jesus, that Twitter bio of hers is everything wrong with current year in one smattering of nonsense.
I am an Albertan. There are pockets of Canada like the lower mainland of BC, Vancouver Island and Toronto that are absolutely batshit crazy. And they have the votes and the seats. Combine that with compliant and fearful maritime provinces on the east coast that are used to decades of receiving government handouts and transfer payments from successful provinces. And then you have Quebec, who wants whatever is good for Quebec, won't allow pipelines Alberta needs but happy to take Alberta's transfer payments. Quebec claims this is for environmental reasons but then dumps raw sewage into the St Lawrence River. Our country is a mess, and many in Alberta and Saskatchewan are wanting out of this dysfunctional country.
Thank you for your honesty about your country…..it has to be heart breaking.
Canada - our mirror to the north. Now more so than ever.
This makes so much sense. I’m a Canadian of convenience living in Texas and I always wondered what the hell was wrong with my insane Canadian relatives. Even the maritimes
Fellow Canadian here (just outside Toronto) and I strongly affirm everything you said. Well done!
I live in Victoria BC and I can confirm they are bat-shit crazy here. People riding their bikes down the street - alone - wearing masks. I shit you not.
I went to the hospital for tests and they have a woman standing at the door sanitizing her hand and handing everyone a brand new mask. She sanitizes her hands every time.
And then on the other side of weird, I saw an Pilipino guy wearing a a black cloth mask as he walked down the street and then he took it off right before he went into the building. I assume that he likes hiding his face, or thinks he looks ominous or tough?
That's a real possibility. Es muy macho, si! Where I live in the heart of the Emerald Triangle in NorCal we have many Mexican cartel foot soldiers in our teeny tiny town (less, now that the cannabis market has collapsed - there's always a silver lining). These young dudes actually love to wear their masks, everywhere, indoors and out. Maybe they've just seen too many narcotraficante movies (I've seen three-year-old toddlers watching these, day and night, they start 'em young), wanna look like badass hombres? Most are them are just lonely, bored and worried young men working for nothing, trying to keep El Jefe back in Zacatecas from harming their sweet little abuelita if they don't bring home the bacon. I feel sorry for them, mostly. But the mask thing does turn my stomach. I know it isn't healthy.
Perfectly said. As someone who thinks like an Albertan but lives in Toronto it feels very hopeless. Good luck.
Need some NHL players to speak out against the stupidity!
Where are they?
Theo Fleury has been speaking out, his Tucker Carlson appearance was good to watch. And Ryan Whitney (I think he is American) singlehandedly helped end some Federal covid restrictions at airports due to his twitter rant at Pearson in Toronto. He embarrassed our leaders into doing something. Jamie Sale, Olympian gold medal figure skater has also been vocal. So there have been a few athletes speaking out.
I know nothing about Canada, but wonder if Quebec could be persuaded to accept a pipeline from Alberta if it meant additional cash for Quebecers. In other words, are the terms of the proposed pipeline deals just not attractive for Quebec?
Pipelines are a federal jurisdiction, so they could be built if the feds wanted too. However, they have shut down the pipelines applications to the BC and east coast. Might have to do with a prominent political family in Canada having shares in Irving oil and that refinery in the maritimes is supplied by supertanker with Saudi oil. As I said before, we are a dysfunctional country when you prefer to get oil abroad from dictators instead of supplied by fellow countrymen. Meanwhile throwing away the oil royalties that would go into your own country's coffers. Throw in gender requirements and you can see where many oil companies prefer to invest in other countries.
"Conservative politician Andrew Scheer stated in November 2017 that Canada should ban the import of oil from Saudi Arabia due to human rights and environmental concerns.[6] In December 2018 Scheer demanded that the gender-based analysis requirement imposed on Canadian pipeline projects by the Liberal government be instead applied to oil imported from Saudi Arabia"
" ... gender-based analysis requirement imposed on Canadian pipeline projects by the Liberal government be instead applied to oil imported from Saudi Arabia"
that lays bare the lie of Western democratic ethics -- double standards abound. you gotta love what Biden's doing with Saudi Arabia right now. such a stark example of Western ethical hypocrisy.
They already get cash from Alberta. They see it as their due. It's not fair that Alberta has all of these natural resources and they don't. Despite being "a country within a country," they believe that ALL natural resources (outside of QC) belong to the whole country, and the benefits therefrom should be shared.
You know, despite doing everything they can to shut down said resources, and separate from Canada every couple decades or so.
The difference with Alberta and Quebec is when we say we want to separate, we do, and we will. Quebec uses it to negotiate more goodies but know they have it better staying in Canada then out. The Alberta GDP per capita in 2022 is $78,155. As our own country we would rank 5th in the world, right behind #4 Qatar and ahead of Switzerland.
Canada is a lot like California, Seattle, basically the west coast to me now.
Beautiful places, love to visit. No longer want to live there.
Canada we can't even visit if not vaccinated, so no Vancouver visit / tourist dollars this year. No way my kids are getting those shots.
There were many good options for LNG plants in Western Canada years ago, maybe one is still moving forward today, woodfibre lng. Environmentalists have made many things like these almost impossible to build.
My sympathies, I am in California, working on the exodus. It's going to happen.
Come to Texas, Keahi!
That or a fishing village in Baja!
Great assessment
When does our charter flight take?
Not necessarily. It tends to be a city vs rural thing. I live in a city where there is a huge mall that attracts tourists over holiday seasons when kids are out of school. You can easily pick out the visiting small town folk by how they dress, hairstyles etc (I can call them that because I was one of them and grew up in the time warp of a small town) and they are not the mask wearers even when it was mandated. Common sense tends to be more common outside the cities.
@Bart- I'm in NY but live a mile from the Canadian border. We have a mall the Canadians love to visit (read: take over on the weekends. No lie. They even protested one year telling us Americans to stay away on the weekends so they could have it to themselves. not) and many shoppers are Asian. They were wearing masks long before Covid was a thing. Decades. It stems from the pollution from their ancestral homelands. The mask wearing seems to have evolved into a cultural thing.
Wearing masks in Japan is a national mania that began long ago. There are even special therapists to help you get past your fear of EVER removing your mask (like, in the bath?).
Exactly. Add a nose ring and a hair color not naturally found sprouting on human scalps and she would be the embodiment of Wokeness.

So true. She´s like wokeness concentrated oil.
LOL!!
only if you love facilitating epistemic injustice.
The masks were the single most destructive thing of the past 2.5 years because they incited and prolonged the hysteria. No smiles, no human interaction, no emotion other than fear and panic. People still wearing them get my worst scorn face - this needs to be deeply unpopular.
When I still see one in the wild I roll my eyes at them. Preferably when they're looking at me.
Whenever I see one, I always fake a cough and loudly mumble to myself. “Covid!” Every now and then they look at me but no one ever says something.
I need to find one of those “your mask makes you look stupid” shirts. I’d wear it to the grocery store any time I went.
Better yet, imho..IMHO...
'Your mask proves your stupidity'
Get a Sharpie and make one. Instant delivery. Low cost.
HAHAHAHA!!
just don't cough on miss ellie over breakfast, she hasn't been feeling well ever since bobby & pam broke up.

It was all a dream anyway
Same here, I look at them dumbfounded. The looks I get are priceless. Thankfully looks skill don't kill. "They" might find a way to do that though
During the height of maskomania, I started taking the self-dehumanizing of the maskoholics at, so to speak, face value. I'd refuse to make eye contact, and behave as though I were utterly unaware of their presence. If a group of them came walking down the sidewalk, I'd simply refuse to move out of their way, and inevitably in they little game of chicken the timid creatures would part like Red Sea.
It was fun in a sociopathic, antisocial, sophomoric kind of way. Jerk move to be sure but at that point, well they had their emotional coping mechanism and I needed mine.
When I’m talking to one, I always - ALWAYS - eventually will say, “I’m sorry, I can’t hear you. You have that thing over your mouth.” Usually they yell louder, but quite often they’ll just take it off. Idiots.
I truly can't hear them. They are usually soft speakers, anyway, being the docile sort; and I have trouble hearing when there is ambient noise. I just say to them, "I can't understand a word you are saying through that mask."
That's indeed a pretty good tactic.
When my friends refused to take them off I would refuse to be able to hear what they were saying.
I feel a little guilty because I play chicken as well. I am not the one who moves out of the way. Hopefully, these folks are unarmed, if not my days may be numbered.
My theory was simple: their masking is a sign of weak personalities; they would exhibit other traits of emotional frailty. Haven't been proven wrong yet.
Yes, a total tell. Who not to take seriously.
Same. My attitude: You can move for me. I had to do enough moving (going to stores that didn't enforce; doing business a whole county over, oh, and QUITTING MY FUCKING JOB) for you.
I like the cut of your jib sir!
@John Carter (love the name. HUGE ER fan here): What an interesting study that would be. Honest.
Oh, I didn't even make that connection! I'm also a big ER fan. Sad to say, I don't think Dr. Carter would have been a brave COVID physician. Love him, but he had woke tendencies and I don't see him being the one to call out the stupidity.
I could maybe see Benton or Ross taking a Covid stand. Weaver would be the ultimate mask and vax true believer. How about Romano? I think he would think it's all BS but be more than willing to play any game he needed to.
@Jon- that put a huge smile on my face
I shake my head in disgust at them
I like to ask if it is because of fear of covid or for another reason, and add, if you are still worried about Covid, I can give you some protocols that the doctors on the Covid wards use that work better than masks.
I did have one lady say that she likes them because she is a hairdresser and hated getting hair in her nose and mouth when she cuts hair. Otherwise I get a lot of mumbling and shuffling and averted eyes.
My favourite outrage is from the fats, who will sometimes admonish me that they're in a high-risk group and therefore I need to be considerate of their safety. To which I reply, given that you've let yourself become morbidly obese, you don't seem to care much about your health, so why do you expect me to?
“Do you want me to jog for you, too?” 😉
"After 20+ years of bad food decisions, you're finally understanding the consequences! GO FOR A WALK!"

Priceless, ty.
Isn't it amazing, how many people with "high risk" conditions and "compromised immune systems" have crawled out of the woodwork?
And hello obese, you had TWO YEARS to work on this.
LMAO "the fats"!!!! Ohhh I am stealing this phrase!
Visited an art museum and most unmasked. A group of school children came in-maybe a summer art camp-and I initially thought oh great the kids are learning about art. Then I saw they were all masked along with their teacher. Ugh poor kids.
Institutional child abuse.

How can anyone watch this and not see same.
Not only did these people delay speech development, they, um, DEPRIVED KIDS OF OXYGEN.
Yes the majority of the cultural Institutions around this country have been a huge part of keeping this mask messaging and Woke messaging going. Just look at these institutions ‘manifestos’ in any major city in the US (and even the smaller ones in smaller cities & towns)!
The other day my local library hosted a magic show. Most of the kids were unmasked and happily so, but there was one family, young mother, two preschool age kids, all masked. I was so tempted to ask them, When do you think it will be safe to go out in public unmasked? And what are your kids learning about life and risk? To be scared of every little thing because someone in charge told them to be?
Don't interrupt her Munchausen-by-proxy with reason!
@Bryan- ^^THIS
@Tam- I have SO OFTEN wanted to ask the motivation of young parents wearing masks and forcing their kids to do so.
I too often have the same kind of questions swirling around in my head that I’m dying to ask these parents that have their kids (as well as themselves) masked up outside of the home! I look on these parents now as suffering from a mental illness.
It was really, truly horrible, I can't disagree. Was it worse than being forced to choose a pharmaceutical that had no safety data or putting food on the table and a roof over your family's head? Probably not for those in that situation, I'm gonna guess. I mean, maybe you're right. Lots of people were willing to get it but masking was terrible for society in general.
It was all part and parcel. They needed to shame you into wearing masks so they could shame you into locking down and then shame you into getting the jab. Most people do not develop beyond high school with regards to philosophy or how they treat other people. If i understand this, then i'm sure the psychiatric industry does (which by the way .gov employed to find better ways to scare you). Its sad, i think mostly that industry hasn't been used to better mankind, but to control it.
Has anyone thought about why all of this was done? It wasn't because a virus. I've been watching finance like a hawk since 2008, waiting for the system to implode because they never fixed it then. All they've done since then is pile on more debt, rob people who save money on their own (instead of gambling in the stock market). This gentleman has a timeline that matches my own thinking and some of you might be interested in reading his thoughts:
https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/a-self-fulfilling-prophecy-systemic-collapse-and-pandemic-simulation/
There is another negative aspect as well that isn't discussed.
I have a grandson that turned 4 this year. He is in speech therapy because he doesn't really talk. There was a waiting list to get into speech therapy because a lot of kids his age don't talk.
Why? It appears you have to see lips moving to learn to speak. Thanks to the mask Karens, they are not able to learn to speak.
Masks have already damaged the next generation.
This is correct.
Even many "in the know" are still trapped in the virus story and the Covid merry-go-round.
Now I'm not talking about Germ Theory v. Terrain Theory, that's another discussion.
I'm simply talking about the fact that the official narrative of "Covid" is a fiction- all of it. It is an intelligence operation meant to do what you described.
There was no pandemic- EVER.
Once you have explored the details of these frauds it is easy to identify the scam as it is happening. The playbook is pretty much the same,the players are the same, they simply refine and expand their techniques. Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7. I have to say that the “messaging” is far more comprehensive, insidious and sophisticated with Operation Covidius than all others before by quantum leaps.
As long as good people continue to assert that this manufactured crisis was in fact an actual epidemiological event the ghouls that concocted this lie will have fertile ground to create the next one- which rest assured is in the pipeline.
"Covid" is the engineered destabilization of the global economy.
"COVID-19", the operation, is essentially a cover-up for systematic debt-leveraged monetary expansion.
"Covid-19", the disease, is nothing more than a disease of ATTRIBUTION to other causes.
And...aaamen to that. In total agreement with you Allen. We've been played.
I agree the official narrative is fiction and everything they forced on us was unjustified by data and previous experience.
However, I subscribe more to the school of thought that it was a bioweapon release. It was an actual novel virus that did spread easily and got a lot of people sick, and killed a good number. Of course many of the people it killed were already medically fragile and high percentage of the deaths wouldn't have happened if we had widespread early treatment. The suppression of prevention through health and early treatment is one of the most diabolical aspects of the whole thing.
The 'diagnosis' of "Covid" effectively permits dangerous protocols to be enacted that then increase the chance of mortality. This matters for several reasons. A pneumonia patient has a very good chance of surviving with correct support. However, if the patient tests ‘+’ for the non-existent pathogen an entirely different medical protocol goes into action and with this, there is little chance of survival.
The number of "Covid deaths" is cooked/manipulated due to how the CDC does their accounting- in short an audit of the CDC mortality numbers themselves is essential. The number of "Covid deaths" is grossly overinflated and here is how we had so many "Covid deaths:"
1) The first thing to be addressed is "who were these people?" The average age of a "Covid death" is around 78 in the US and 82 globally w/4 comorbidities. The majority of these people were from nursing homes, assisted living, hospice, died in hospitals etc.
What we had here in the US was a radical and mandatory shift in policies relating to care homes, hospitals and "Covid." These were mandated through various state policies (remove 8 states from US mortality rates in March/April 2020 and no excess will appear) which resulted in a concentrated death rate for a six week period in March/April. Take that out of the equation and there is no death rate to talk about. Put (or keep) these policies in place and we will have this happen every year;
2) The faulty diagnosis of what is a "Covid Death" did they die "with" or "from" Covid which is problematic for several reasons. In many cases an actual test was never done only a "presumed to be "Covid" assessment was put forth. Add to this that PCR with faulty specs (gene sequencing, cycle thresholds, annealing problems, faulty primers and so forth) were used. PCR can't diagnose anything in the first place and compounded with these problems they are useless and misleading;
3) No autopsies. Why were no autopsies done in the US? Why new mandates that halted all autopsies for "covid deaths" which went against decades long protocol?
On March 24,2020, they changed decades old protocol on how death certificates would be filed- this is a big one- giving special dispensation to "Covid deaths" and incentivized everyone under the sun to code all manner of deaths as U07.1 (COVID-19).
There was also gross negligence (beyond the usual) in these nursing homes that led to abandonment and medication alterations that turned these slow motion abattoirs into death houses. One of the remarkable things of note is that here in the US the "pandemic" was not widespread (which is supposed to be one of the defining features of a pandemic) but was in fact limited to very specific locations;
4) Another way they inflated death counts was through hospital admissions and again faulty PCR testing. So for example if one came in with a coronary condition you would be given a "Covid test" no matter what- all admissions required this- and then if you died while in the hospital you could have been listed as a "Covid death." This happened frequently throughout the year;
5) Home deaths is yet another way that figures were cooked. This was admitted point blank by Stephanie Buehle among others (NY Health spokesperson) who stated that home deaths with no testing at all would be "presumed Covid deaths." This was mandated through the NY Health Dept and elsewhere;
6) "Covid death" counts were forged- CDC instructed officials to certify any death as "caused by" COVID if the decedent tested positive prior to passing or was suspected of having C19, even if it wasn't the actual cause of death. Thus we have major misattribution. E.g., we have over 16,000 "accidental deaths" in the C19 death total;
We're also seeing unexplained declines in other common death categories because so many have been attributed to C19. The unprecedented broad definition of C19 death has created huge fraud in "Covid death" counts.
7) Huge spike in iatrogenic deaths caused by misattribution of "Covid" to incoming patients and the ensuing improper treatments applied e.g. remdesivir, ventilators and associated fentanyl dosages which killed thousands;
Etc.
This has been a theory of mine as well. though i don't have any great knowledge of finance.
I did see that emergency low interest rates were introduced in 2008, and never went back to normal levels. To me that implied that we never actually recovered from that crisis. Extent and pretend.
Exactly, who has the most to lose in bankruptcy? (which we most definitely are, both moral and financially) Not the plebs, in every industry everything has consolidated to basically trans national corporations running the show. If you own your own biz you have a stake in things. Same thing goes for voting in a republic, you need to have skin in the game, which most people don't. It makes it easier for them to treat it like a sports team! Was talking with a gent the other day who told me everything would be better if Hillary Clinton had been elected and had no idea ten trillion in debt was added under Obamas terms. I almost fell off my stool, to him it just something you virtue signal with, not actually understand. Isn't it funny how their first actions in the "pandemic" was to bail themselves out again? How many hospitals were built because capacity? How many more nurses and doctors were hired to deal with the "pandemic"? Oh thats right, zero, they actually fired nurses and doctors..... during a "pandemic"........
Consider this: The economy was beginning to tank in 2019 and did in 2020, who's fault was it? But of course, Covid! The economy is tanking right now, who's fault is it? The Ukraine War! Now read that twitter thread below and see if it doesn't make more sense.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1525968375951699968.html
I wonder who will write the first history of "this"? My recollection is no, the hysteria preceded mask wearing and particularly by means of that master stroke: the "Asymptomatic Case" i.e all humans are a mortal danger to all other humans. Then a FOMO dynamic took over: Fear of Missing Out - masks were hard to come by late spring, summer of 2020; so there was this manic effort to obtain masks the subsequent wearing of which signaled that you were a winner and on board with the authorities. Then the dynamics self-amplify - as you suggest - limit human action is a response to fear and a promoter of fear.
And yes! - whatever it takes to break these still mask compliant people - I am trying for now a look of bemusement rather than scorn!
I see the mask and it’s like wearing a bicycle helmet in the shower. Might save your life but the absolute and relative risk is unmeasurably low and thus silly town.
You're right hysteria preceded masks. I don't recall the dynamic of mask shortages and getting one made you part of the "in crowd". They always seemed TOO abundant to me, then they started promoting cloth masks and those started popping up everywhere. Masks, masks everywhere! And not a drop of [common sense] water to drink.
and what fed that hysteria? Almost like it was done on purpose? Ah the media which is owned by six corporations! If you run the system its not a felony to yell fire in a movie theater ;)
And who finances the media via ad revenue?
Why... Pfizer and the rest of big pharma.
Keep the fear going, keep the proles getting shots, keep the $$$$ rolling in.
also, prevents bad press. It takes a lot of testicular fortitude to cut the throat of a very important advertiser.
Apparently there was such a shortage of masks in NY that Cuomo used them to make a 6th grade art project for the wall. Will someone please think of the maskless! Because Cuomo didn't give a shit.
I agree 100%. I have argued with friends of mine who are in "our side of the fence", who nonetheless believe that "vaccines" are really the only important issue. Masks are "just a nuisance" according to them. I say as you say, they have been the single most important fallacy to perpetuate the "pandemic".
We're splitting hairs. Again, I would say the "single most important fallacy" is that the shots are Safe And Effective. But I would agree that masks were a crucial prerequisite imposition for the vax campaign to get as much uptake as it did. They warped people's minds enough to get them softened up for the really important thing.
Yes, but MOST destructive? I think the experimental therapy that has killed hundreds of thousands and maimed millions could probably claim that title.
Jabs would probably not been accepted as widely without a year of masking people into submission. So masks and jabs go hand in hand as a destructive duo.
good point
and that doesn't even touch on the financial implications of all of these "free shots"
The masking pushed people, along with other measures, into mass formation and getting them ripe for some ol' totalitarian propaganda pushing down their throats to make them do basically anything the puppet masters wanted.
It's hard to isolate a single destructive measure, but masks are certainly the one I despise. After two years, I appreciate even what could be termed as "ugly" faces. The ugliest face is still better than a mask. It's like a wall that's been erected between you and the person wearing it. The fun part about this is when the masks are finally put away, will those that wore them no longer hide their true emotions because they had a mask to prevent the betrayal of their emotions?
I wear glasses. I spend the summer of 2020 angry every time I went out because I was forced to wear a mask in 85+ degree heat and my glasses fogged up. Constantly. Plus... I really don't do well in hot weather, and the mask made it worse. So... I was kind of bitchy all the time when I had to run normal errands.
And then I was smart enough to buy a symbolic mesh mask that was for show. That worked almost everywhere. And then I just stopped wearing them.
Since I am single and had no family, I was able to avoid most of it. Here in Georgia, the rules were ridiculous in that the restaurant staff had to wear masks, but the customers did not (please explain how that makes sense). When a lot of private businesses introduced Mask mandates in June of 2020, I steered clear of them. I was a legalist about signs. Instead of Krogers, I went to smaller ethnic Grocery stores that didn't mandate them. Finally, I got the guts to go to Krogers late at night to shop without a mask after hearing others doing the same. I walked right past a security guard who was wearing a mask and he waved me on through.
The few times I wore masks, they also fogged up my glasses, and of course everything smelled like "mask," I also had not trouble enunciating words.
In Ottawa Canada we can see your restaurant craziness, and raise you: unvaxxed staff could make and serve you food but they couldn't eat at their own restaurant! LOL
So I refused to wear masks here in CO amd forced uncomfortable confrontations everywhere. In 2020 and early 21 I had a few women grab me and thank me for giving them courage
Part of the problem with masks is you can't tell who is onboard vs. who is just going along to get along. I have worn a mask in some situations to go-along to get-along. I've worn masks in doctor's offices and on Uber rides when it was mandated. I am to the point now where I am rethinking that because I am realizing it's not going to go away on it's own.
That's the irony isn't it. You know medically after awhile, something isn't going to go away on it's own, so you know you have to see a doctor. But in order to see the doctor, you have to do something that you know needs to go away, but won't go away on it's own unless you do something about it. And that thing to do to get to that point is to risk not going to the doctor in order to stop something that won't go away on it's own.
I wear glasses also. In Canada the fogging hit going in and out of stores in the winter, as well as the steamy summer days. I carry a kerchief habitually (they are really handy! for all kinds of things) so I have a couple that are worn out as thin as gauze. I used those ones exclusively to minimize the fogging hassles. And of course, breathing was easier too.
I wear contact lenses and Chicago winter being what it is, even my contact lenses fogged up.
@Ki- my daughter is a Pre-K administrator. She said the children, all from low income families, most without much encouragement from family, are WAAAYY behind their speech skills. The Kindergartens are now getting these kids with poor communication and speech skills.
I've read about this, particularly in the British context. Not only are kids behind in their language skills, there are stories of kindergarteners who still aren't potty trained. The lockdowns made an entire generation retarded.
Yes I've heard about this too. So many unknown consequences downstream.
a smattering of brainwashed and terrified/broken children
That’s the craziest part. I have a <4 yo and this is the only world she’s ever really known. We were at the post office today and we’re the only ones not wearing a face diaper. It’s just bizarre that this is the world now
That was one of the low points for me. Seeing young children in masks every day when walking my dog, when it was clear that they made no difference and that the pandemic was massively overblown.
People still wearing them get my worst scorn face - this needs to be deeply unpopular.
-------
Back during the 3 weeks or so that unvaxxed people could go unmasked, basically everybody went unmasked. This REALLY REALLY upset the people who were still wearing masks. They would want into a store, realize they were THE ONLY ONE wearing a mask, and sort of freak out.
These people want the safety blanket of others wearing the mask, too.
When mask mandates were first dropped "for the vaccinated", the hilarious thing was that if you saw someone without a mask, there was a good chance they were one of the dirty unjabbed, whereas if you saw someone WITH a mask there was a very, very high probability that they were fully vaccinated. At this late date the former doesn't really hold anymore but the latter absolutely does.
And ridiculed.
From me they get no face, only looking to the side if I have to talk to them.
Snipet from the excellent interview Ivor cummings had from Mattias Desmet:
[Regarding mass formation]…So this typical solidarity that always emerges when a mass forms is never a solidarity between individuals, it’s a solidarity of every individual with the collective, and the longer the mass formation exists the more all the solidarity and the energy is sucked away from the social bonds between individuals and is injected or invested in the bonds between individuals and the collective, meaning that in the end the solidarity with the collective is much stronger than the solidarity with other individuals, and that explains of course why during the corona crisis people were all talking about citizenship and solidarity and at the same time accepted that if someone got an accident across the street they were no longer allowed to help that person…
…and in the same vein people accepted that if their father or mother was dying somewhere that they were not allowed to visit them. So they fought this heroic battle for the sake of the elderly , for the solidarity with the elderly and at the same time they accepted the elderly should die alone or that they were not allowed to visit them during their last hours. So that’s a very typical solidarity which exist in a mass, it’s a very strong solidarity with the collective and not with individuals and that explains why every totalitarian state is always based on mass formation always ends up in a paranoid atmosphere in which every individual is prepared to report every other individual to the state if that other individual is not loyal enough to the state narrative…”
But please see it for yourself, it's really pleasant way to spend 1 hour learning:

This is horrifying. I would never have thought that the people staying away from dying relatives actually thought it was a good thing! Very glad no one in my family felt that way. When my grandmother was dying in the summer of 2020, all of us took turns visiting her. There were questions about what was the best thing to do, but ultimately no one thought it would be best for her to be alone. That is probably the tragedy that breaks my heart the most through all of this, all those elderly people dying alone, they shouldn't even be living apart from their families, nevermind dying apart from them. We have everything so backwards.
I'm more live and let live. Science has clearly shown that masks do not prevent COVID and indeed can cause other issues. However, so many people are watching 24/7 CNN fear mongering and they are deeply afraid. As long as they don't ask me to mask up, I just have compassion and let them continue on.
While I agree with you that we should live and let live, should we enable the behavior? I would go a step further and explain why masks don't work, break it down in very basic terms. Make it clear that why they might believe "it couldn't hurt" it certainly can't be helping.
I know what you're saying. However, I found when I try to tell friends or family taken in by the mass psychosis information on the vaccines or masks (no matter how fact based)
they tune me out and often get upset with me. Maybe it will have to come down to disdain. I do think we have to get assertive when it comes to masking and vaccines in our schools.
Interrupted a vet yesterday while she was giving my GATO his rabies shot- she started "explaining" why she was wearing her cute little Corgi mask someone probably made for her, "....a staff member tested + for covid so I am....." I didn't let her finish. Told her I don't talk "covid" and haven't for a year. She was pisssssssed....
Aren’t these people usually the one’s who wear clothing that says, “Love is Love”, “ Be a kind human” etc……and then turn around and belittle others for not following or believing what they do???
The words mean something different to them. Kinda like how they changed the definition of “vaccine” to suit their purposes. They speak a different language.
My personal favorite is a shirt that says “I Love Everybody.” Unless you are a prostitute, I’m calling bs on that one.
I'd like to remind them that "everybody" includes white male heterosexual gun-owning libertarians. And then ask them for a hug.
Really! <3
If your cat has ever had a rabies vaccine, you never need to give it again. It confers immunity for a lifetime. Don’t over vaccinate our pets! 😊
Dogs (here) have to have a license and you can't get a license without proof of rabies jab. Of course you can ignore the law, but our worry is that one of our dogs gets out of the fenced backyard and decides to investigate the neighborhood.
True, though many vets will measure titers and if they are sufficient (and they nearly always are), they will give you the rabies tag. All these pet cancers, auto-immune disease and injection site tumors have skyrocketed along with the skyrocketing number of jabs, same as childhood vax & childhood disease.
Other countries have dropped some of the most damaging shots/are waiting until far later to administer vax, and are spreading them further apart, but it isn’t enough. Gardisil, one of Billy from the GATES of hell’s personal
favorites, has rendered thousands of girls infertile and put them into early menopause at the ripe old age of 14! It has killed hundreds of boys and girls. It’s tragic. Openvaers.com #realnotrare
Really? One of the dogs is due for his visit, so I'll ask if they will do that. Thanks for the heads up on the vet. visit. 👍🙂
Yes, or you could call around to see who will and who will not, which will possibly get you out of an awkward scene if you don’t ask until you’re there.
Indeed and hubs and I were just speculating about this. 😉
My cat died 3 days after her rabies shot last September. I’m still perplexed as to why I let the vet give her the shot since, I myself swore to never get injected again after my violent reaction to Pfizer #2. Well, it’s definitely confirmed that I am forever an anti vaxxer nurse for all creatures.
Wise woman! Robert F. Kennedy, jr. has done so much to shield children from all the damaging effects of childhood vax. DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS is a fantastic read. There are hundreds of books and doctors who will convince you that all these shots are nearly as bad as these stupid covid jabs. MercolaPets and Dr. Ramey and others are doing much to shield pets.
Dr. Ronald Shultz has done studies to show that vaccines are effective for 7-9 years after just one vaccine after 4 months of age. He recommends only vaccinating once with the core vaccines. He is currently doing the Rabies Challenge to show that the rabies vaccine is good for the life of your pet. You don’t see veterinarians vaccinating themselves every year with the rabies vaccine do you…..
THIS👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
And they are indoor cats too...so there's that, Sure is $$$$ though! Another $ making thing to deal with!
THIS👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS is a terrific book, too.
Stealing this as well.
We all have to start doing what you did. Our silence is taken as endorsement. That can’t continue.
Good point. Speak out always about the ineffective, even destructive, Covid response.
I am going to add that to my "you don't want to hear my opinion on this so let's not even start" conversation ender.
Yay! My daughter is really good at this too...she has a similar line when people bring up nonsensical covid crap!
On a lighter note, yet still important, consider getting your gato and all pets titers for rabies, etc. An increasing number of vets are saying all this vaxxing is doing great harm
to our pets. Mercola Pets is a terrific place to start learning abt it. DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS and A SHOT in the DARK are 2 terrific books to read regarding childhood vax, and the best book I’ve ever read is THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI by RFK, jr. His Children’s Health Defense is doing marvelous things.
I ave been thinking about all of this...thanks for the nudge!
I transferred to another vet practice after 6 months of meeting in the parking lot and still being asked to mask. I said No, and took my (tres Gatos) business elsewhere.
We have switched Drs a couple of times- there are those with common sense at the place we go to. Unfortunately, we got the crazy one that day!
I tell people I'm not interested in your common cold. It bores me. Tell me stories when you get a real disease.
Good one!!!
It's telling that she felt compelled to give you an unsolicited explanation.
That's what is weird. I never ask or comment, but SHE felt she HAD to. I could give a rat's ass what she was wearing!
I've concluded that when people feel the need to explain something about themselves (behavior, appearance, etc), it's because they feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about it.
yup!
when cougars turn into 'fraidy cats
haha
Yeah, and they have their children in them!
I love the "matching accessories"- gawd!!!
I was understanding of these antics for a while. But coming up on three years in? This has become a religion or a mental illness, or a bit of both.
Sometimes I see a Mama Masker and her masklings moving around Walmart together. The youngest maskling sitting in the cart. Should I leave breadcrumbs?
Breaks my heart every time I see young children masked, especially now. The maladjusted raising more maladjusted. Just what this world needs.
I think it has morphed into a religion, much like wearing head/face/full body coverings is for some Islamic women. A sense of identity.
I knew before even checking that she would be Canadian. It's always a Canadian.
Sad.
I used to think of Canada as America's Hat.
Now it's just China Totalitarian North.
The People’s Republic of North America. PRONA.
Now now. "America" is a Settler-Colonialist term that represents epistemic violence against First Nations peoples. "Republic" is just pure patriarchal eurocentrism. The accepted terminology is People's Collective of Turtle Island.
America’s hat? Depends which way up you view the World I suppose.
North is up.
damn, that was good
WTF. Why are the Canadians the most insane of all? I am so happy I don't live there.
We (Canadians) are complacent and trusting to the point of being gormless—especially the Toronto crowd. Most of my countrymen literally believe that the government has their best interests at heart; that a clown like Trudeau is sincere…You know, when he’s not wearing blackface and being overtly racist, or canning women who disagree with him, or involved in no less than three—on record—ethics scandals. “But that was so long ago,” they say (it wasn’t). As if racism, actual misogyny (not the ad hominem version we see so much of) or corruption have expiration dates.
People like me are generally ignored or avoided due their disagreeableness. So at least Chinada has one saving grace, I suppose.
Sorry. When you said “canning women”. I had a horrible pic flash into my over caffeinated brain as the answer to food shortages by globalists. You get my drift. I apologize. 😵💫
Chinada!!’ 💕
Maybe the long winter freezes their brain????
I live in Canada. We seem to be missing any kind of independence gene. Everyone just goes along to get along. You should have seen the complete astonishment on faces when educating people on the dangerous untested shots and they would always bow to authority: "what? are you smarter than a doctor?" The look on their faces when I said "yes a couple of my classmates became doctors - I blew them away in high school marks. Doctors aren't very smart, necessarily." Canadian brains sort of short circuit when they try to grasp that. It doesn't compute for them and they go blank. Very weird.
Bullseye. I often feel like a stranger in a strange land. At least in Alberta there is a little less of the zombie following authority mindset. By the way, that is a good retort. I too had higher high school marks than a classmate that became a specialist doctor. Being able to memorize doesn't necessarily equate to higher intelligence and it certainly doesn't correlate with having strong critical thinking skills.
And that is exactly the problem.. Most higher educated people are excellent and memorizing. When all you do is memorize you fall out of practice and your ability to critical think evaporates. Albert Einstein said something like we have forgotten the gift which is intuition. I'm butchering it but I'm sure many of you have heard of it. Intuition, logic and critical thinking is the gift, the rest of it is just indoctrination good or bad.
Truth.
Doctors may be smart but they are brain washed. The most educated seem to be the most confused.
I think the cold freezes brain cells
Yes. Yes they are.
Ugh, we are not all like that. Plus, just listing UBC as an affiliate doesn't mean she's Canadian. I can't lie though, if it weren't for our families my husband and I would not have remained here.
Oh i know. My close friend is Canadian and he' super smart and more against this BS of anyone I know.
It's for your small children that you Need to move.
I'm sorry. If Canada aows homeschooling, have you family who can help? Even several concerned families chopping in to hire a tutor/teacher?
I was about to say the same thing. I knew, instinctively. What has happened to the land of my birth and childhood? I am thankful every day that I no longer live there.
I feel the same way about California.
And from Vancouver
What a great laugh you gave me!!!
Your chess analogy reminded me that I was in a chess tournament once and my opponent, losing badly, got up and "accidentally" knocked over the board. It was an informal affair and no one was recording position so we started over. He later did the same thing to 3(!)other players. We called it the Rodney defense in his honor. These people are objectively losing badly and are attempting the Rodney defense. We must be careful to record the position of the pieces on the board.
Amy needs an intervention. My Rx? Shock treatment and a rubber room/safe space.
Even simpler would work. Just smile and say "nope."
