This is great, thank you! Having small children, masks were especially the battlefield I was on. There are still a lot of people I think should apologize to me for alienating and criticizing and demonizing me for not masking my toddlers. But I did right by my kids, and they never once wore one (and in one of the deepest blue places in the nation!) But I’ve got some scarring from the whole affair.
You are a hero and did your primary job as a father: you protected your children.
The added benefits are that you set an example of what it really means to be a man for your children. You have provided them an example of critical thinking, to question authority and that you stood on the right side of history against a lot of adversity.
Your children may be too young to understand it now; but I believe you can use your experience to teach them the aforementioned. And they'll forever respect you for that.
Thank you! I couldn’t believe the number of people who would harm their own children just to “get along.” I knew lots of them, who masked even when they knew better.
What makes me sick is many of the parents were working from home where they didn't have to mask.
Yet they shipped their kids off to school. You would think that they would ponder this selfishness.
The children never got mask breaks - even at recess! Indeed the teachers acted as brown shirts by hawking the kids. Even to the point of making them put their masks on between bites at lunch.
Honestly it is still hard for me to forgive and ever forget the complicity of teachers (virtually all of them). They traded their conscience for a paycheck.
How's this for using our feet to do right by our children? Know too many people who did this?:
We told our 9 year old twins (when this first started in March 20') to tell the teachers to come talk to their dad if they had problems with them not wearing masks.
They were kicked out of school. We homed schooled for a month and then moved to Florida in April of 20'.
Best decision, in our lives, in more than one way. No way I was going to have my kids cover their effing faces.
Some parents need the help that school provides in raising their kids. There's also something to be said for learning the ways of the world, which is full of dumb rules.
Yeah but not only for shutting their doors but for complying with no singing while football fans could scream their heads off. They also got rid of the handshaking for The Peace.
But have you noticed all the inclusive stuff too? It’s not fishermen of men not fish. It’s now fisher people fishing people.
And Peter’s purse that consists of parish offerings no longer goes to the poor but to ESG investments.
I heard a pastor on the radio a few weeks ago announcing he was going to have a conversation with a black theologian about racism within the church and what we should be doing to make it right. Nearly ran off the road.
For fuck sake hardly any of them spoke out against the unscientific absurd nature of the masks. I know a lot of people who work in genetics research and only one of them actually criticized the whole covid nonsense, the rest of them went along, or pulled out some garbage modelling study to "prove" that masks "worked".
My friends who work in outdoor education were a lot more awake to the scam despite being a lot less educated in the field.

I know believe it is a monstrous science based on horrible experiments beginning in WW1 thanks to Mind of Mens documentary.
A lot of religious and spiritual leaders were either bribed or threatened/ afraid to speak up.
I went to the funeral service mass of a friend’s mother in a Catholic Church. Everybody but me was wearing masks. I was shocked.
When the celebrant said to only stay with your immediate family members for the sign of peace, I walked out.
Are they really that stupid?
I was raised Catholic. Sent my 4 daughters to a Sacred Heart School. Then in my 30’s started learning about the horrifying history of things done in the name of God. 
Are churches still closed where you live? By the govt? If your church is closed, someone should kindly remind that minister that God did not give him the spirit of fear. He needs to sort out who his master is.
Fighting to protect one's children is the basic test. The "good" side failed so resoundingly that it's a wonder the aftershocks haven't taken down blue cities. (Other things are, so never mind, I guess.)
But, but, but my ex-Superintendent of Schools friend in CA (ex-Superintendent and ex-friend) said his two grandsons never even got a cold all year long in 2021! They didn't learn much that year--except how to fear other humans--but it was worth shaving 20 points off their IQs...
Yeah I heard that one a lot. Answer: the messaging on washing your hands was/is the most effective way to reduce germs. Also we’d have to compare whether they also became so fearful of GERMS that they never touched their face.
My family have been trained to wash hands always immediately after coming in and don’t touch your face. We live on a smallholding. Our hands always have shit on them from the animals!
Every illness we got was from the masked up, single jabbed health care worker!
So this person's grandchildren now have weaker immune systems and weaker psyches. And eventually less respect for him once they figure it all out. Stupendous.
I know plenty of intelligent people who were very easily indoctrinated. Still are. And mean as snakes if you try to break the programming! Fear apparently makes you lose every bit of sense. Masks are talismans. The reasons those two little girls with the mask cutouts playing the instruments wore the masks because they need to have the feel of security even if it is only the outline of the mask and the feel behind their ears.
Yes, definitely could have been that too! How do children brought up during this time ever have any trust in adults. This new generation will either be very skeptical or utterly willingly dominated. Unless, of course the kids have been sequestered from the madness.
I found it truly depressing walking my dog past a school with children masked in playground each day and that is from someone that doesn't especially like children.
My husband tells the maskers in COSTCO "I appreciate your self identifying." Every time they say "huh?" and he motions with his hands a mask over his face " you know, the idiot flag." Or he says "the war's over, you can take off the uniform". Or something along those lines. He used to never want to go to COSTCO. Now he enjoys it. He should be a greeter. He provides excellent value.
I saw a woman riding her bike yesterday, with a scarf covering her face, that started under her eyes and went all the way down to her neck, on a beautiful and sunny South Florida day.
I have compassion for these people and some elderly neighbors in the building where I live, who mask in their car and in the elevator. They will remain emotionally scarred and scared, for life.
I often think back to the old George Carlin bit where he said something along the lines of, “you know that feeling you get when you talk to a person, and it starts off fine for the first few minutes, but after a while you realize, ‘…wait, this guy is fuckin stupid!’” I like to think about all the time masks have saved me skipping over the whole “after a while” part and reaching the same conclusion that George did.
I don’t trust the bastards at all, so when the pandemic first started, I started wearing an N95. They said not to wear a mask, so I assumed they were lying so they could hoard up all the masks. People around me were outright hostile, telling me they hoped I caught COVID, how stupid I was, etc etc… this was back in the beginning, when they were denying it was airborne. As I did my research, I quickly realized the masks were useless, so I stopped wearing them, only to watch every single person who was hostile to my mask wearing, become the biggest mask Nazis.
Talk about susceptibility to propaganda. I saw it with my own two eyes.
Interesting approach. I wasn't so intellectual about it. I don't trust them either, so I just go with what seems right to me-- which wasn't masking, whichever way they were preaching.
The whole thing started and I realized - it's a virus and viruses are gonna virus. If masks ever worked, we'd have been masking up _every_ flu season to limit the severity. Add in that the studies over the years have shown masks are ineffective against viruses (as seen here) and I pretty much figured that this was a case of a virus and we needed to do the smart thing. Isolate the most vulnerable, let everyone else go on with their lives.
I’m going to start wearing a mask again, and walk up next to other mask wearers and start coughing up a lung, and sniffling like I’m horribly sick. When they look at me, between wheezes, I’ll tell them, “I have COVID, it don’t worry, I’m wearing a mask.”
Then I’ll bite down on one of those Halloween blood pills, and start grunting and foaming blood from under my mask as I Linda Blair all over the grocery store aisle.
These idiots annoy me, time to get to have some fun out of this nonsense.
I’ve never had this happen to me. I live in a blue state, but my area is what I would call libertarian. No one bothers anyone else over anything. Even during the statewide mask mandates, our town office didn’t wear them or enforce them. The only place I got hassled over masks was at Walmart, but that quickly ended.
That said, I honestly carry pepper spray on me, if any of these mask psychos come at me they’re getting the whole damned bottle of it.
Actually, that is legally assault. If you had gotten sick or injured from it (took it in the eye), then it would be battery. Calmly call the cops in that situation and press charges.
I’m not so sure about just battery. If I recall correctly, states passed laws about this, especially due to the “challenge” of people licking ice cream and putting it back.
This was at the beginning height of the pandemic. I think there’s even more stringent laws about intentionally infecting people.
Except in California. In California you can intentionally give a child AIDS through pedophilic acts, and they’ll name a Navy ship after you.
I didn’t wear a mask in the elevator in my building and I would start conversations with anyone who was riding with me. You know this whole thing is a fraud, right?
I was surprised to find one couple and maybe a few others, who were on the same page with me. Of course they were not speaking to me or probably anyone else about it.
In 2020, a female MD in Spain spoke out on television about the unscientific protocols and lack of consensus from the medical and scientific community around Covid. She was part of a European group known as Doctors for Truth.
Knowing that my next neighbors were Spaniards, I asked if they had heard her compelling interview, which I watched at least half a dozen times. Turns out they both work in Big Pharma. The husband is an MD who left his practice to push this poison! :O
One of my neighbors is not only still masking when going out, but cleaning and wiping down all her groceries. They won't listen to the studies or data. The promoted fear seems to have switched a trigger on in some that may never turn off.
Just as people have been psychologically conditioned to stay at home and not work. Grownass men saying things like "I'm staying home safe with my family." The effects of lower testosterone levels in men are becoming apparent.
This neighbor was sick after each jab, for at least 5 days, bed ridden for first 2 and unable to do much the next 3.. and still kept going back for more jabs.
My neighbor plays pickleball with mask and gloves if she finds out someone has been on a plane and has not waited several days in home quarantine before coming to the courts to play NOT on the courts with her - but another court in the general facility. She works as a volunteer at the hospital as a jab facilitator! INDOORS. I want to know why she does not quarantine after volunteering or going to the grocery or after swimming indoors with other folks in the facility...
Just moved to the DC area from a more sane place. Holy cow, the maskers are everywhere. It’s really sad. Back at home I thought the few ardent mask wearers I saw might be ill with cancer or an auto immune disease and tried to think kindly about them. The sheer volume of them here, young and old, suggests that the illness is indeed psychological, like you say. I find that pretty scary.
We had dinner eat a very nice restaurant with some DC friends a while back. The wife almost insisted we eat outside, where a nor'easter was raging. When she was finally persuaded to eat indoors, she and her husband spent the entire meal pulling their masks up and down. It was insanity. I do love watching people dribble food into their masks! Kind of gag-inducing.
Welcome to the loony bin! Northern VA here, and there are still a lot of masked kids at my kid’s elementary school. His teacher as well, and hers is a huge cloth one that is always falling off her face. She actually used one hand to hold it on while she was talking to me.
While driving my son to the bus I pass so many tiny kids masked up on their way to school. I can’t help but worry about the brain damage being done to them. I read that masking lowers your oxygen intake by 20%. What is that doing to young children? And this is going on three years of this deficit....
There's a lady I see walking on the treadmill at the gym all the time who does the same thing. Why not just go for a walk outside if you don't wanna be around people?
I would like to know why used masks are not universally treated as BIOHAZARDOUS and given designated disposal containers. If I cut myself at work (which has happened), all materials used in treating the wound are not thrown in the regular trash but in a separate, labeled receptacle. Because we all know that bodily fluids are hazardous, right? Yet I see masks thrown around on the ground, even at medical centers. That alone told me that most people, even those Karens who preach mask-wearing, really do not take this all that seriously?
Not only that, but blood borne pathogens aren’t highly contagious.
Do you know how hard it would be to contract AIDS from a bloody napkin on the ground? But they treat it like graphite from the roof of reactor #4… Yet, this highly contagious world ending airborne virus called COVID, has masks floating across parking lots, on the floors of shops, overflowing out of trash cans…
I read this as I am sitting, masked, in my doctor’s waiting room. It is maddening that they insist upon this in order for me to be seen for my annual physical.
My cardiologist, chiropractor, and dentist do not require face diapers, but every other doctor I see does. My dermatologist office still makes you sit in the parking lot and wait to be called in for your appointment after a verbal Covid screening.
Masks, being forced to practically go to a black market for a lifesaving prescription (and then being denied having it filled at multiple pharmacies), and of course the jab are why I have ZERO trust in the “healthcare” industry.
On the plus side, it has pushed me to get healthier so I have as little contact with them as possible.
Perhaps look for a different doctor. That could be a solution. We have to do the little things like that.
Suggestion: If you're able to find a doctor who doesn't require masks; then write him/her a 2 sentence letter why you switched.
While also writing a 2 sentence letter, to your current doctor, that says; Masks Are Modern Day Phrenology. Found someone else that believes in real science.
I’ve looked. Finding a good doctor is almost impossible to start with. I left my previous doctor because they were pushing the jab so hard, and the one I saw last year was incompetent on every level. My new doctor has never mentioned the jab and is very open to alternative/natural medicine, however her hospital requires masking, so there it is. There are 3 main hospital systems here in metro Detroit, and they all require them, to one extent or another.
My mom had cataract surgery last week and masks were required up in the surgery center. They wanted me to stay during the surgery obviously but I told them I’d be waiting in the building lobby where free breathing was allowed and they could call if there was an issue. It’s just ridiculous.
I found doctors who don’t require them, even a place for a mammogram that didn’t require them. I’m also in a FB face mask freedom group wherein people share information on where to go for services without a mask. This sharing of info was really helpful during the height of the mandate requirements even here in Florida. We’re ‘free’ but we still had stupid county requirements for face masks which I ignored.
Last week I was sure I had broken my pinky toe. I called urgent care and asked if they required masks and they said yes so I said OK thank you. Then I called a Podiatrist Orthopedic Surgeon’s office, which is part of the same hospital "system" and they also required a mask.
They had all my information in the system, even though I have not been in a hospital, since I gave brith to my second daughter with a nurse/midwife, 30 years ago.
I skipped going to the doctor - I don’t have a primary physician, do not use “the system."
My toe straightened itself out, stopped throbbing, and stinging after taking Homeopathic arnica several times a day and putting arnica cream on it.
Of course the Industrial Medical Mafia wants to do away with homeopathy, herbs and supplements!
Just take it off and force them to forcibly remove you from the practice. What are they gonna do??? I’d love for a doctors office to call the police on me or have some rent-a-cop escort me off the premise. They have no leg to stand on.
Why on earth would I do that? I’m only there out of necessity, so pitching a fit like a child means I don’t get the care I need. You think they give a crap whether I get care or not? Of course they don’t. They’ll just move on to the next patient and I’ll still be left with the issue that needs attention.
That’s fine, but don’t complain If mandates come back. Compliance, regardless of the reason is compliance. If you don’t mind putting on a worthless mask just to do things that’s your right. I refuse, and have refused, left places that wouldn’t serve me without a mask over last 2 years. I won’t comply, anywhere, ever again. Going along to get along is how we got here. Only mass non compliance will ever end this insanity. And yes, that may mean temporary inconvenience for people.
Not receiving necessary medical care is more than a “temporary inconvenience”. But hey, if your retina detaches and you’d rather go blind than put on a mask so someone will give you the necessary emergency treatment, I guess that’s your choice. But in an instance like that, I suspect your belligerent talk will go out the window and you’ll gladly don the face diaper.
Eh, I left the facility that wouldn’t provide me one. They insisted I wear a mask which I would have complied to do; but then they didn’t even have any available! It was so dumb. It was for a mammogram and I asked if I was supposed to take my own gown as well. I left it was too stupid. I found another radiology place that didn’t require them if you were vaccinated. Ok, sure, I’m vaccinated. 😉
Here in the UK they permitted ‘exemptions’ on medical grounds. At first I did not want to play along by going this route, but around December 2020 I decided I was suffering from very serious bouts of aphronopathia and got myself one of those exemption dog tags. Never got challenged to put a muzzle on after that. And strangely enough no one ever asked me what condition I had for my exemption.
For the curious, aphronopathia is my neologism for ‘suffering fools’, from Greek ‘aphron’ fool and the oh-so medical ‘pathos’ sufferance. I don’t suffer fools gladly.
I made an A4 sized Govn’t exemption form that I hung around my neck. You know, like animals at farm auctions wear. I recall at some hospital outpatient waiting rooms they used to give patients A4 numbers to wait their turn. As if we are no more then mere sheep/cattle
They lied to us. Early and often and throughout the whole shabang. Of that, there is no doubt (Yoda voice...).
The more interesting point to ponder is, to what end? Well, the drastic move to totalitarianism in the entire western world gives a really big clue, no? Greed and incompetence are not the drivers, but passengers on this excursion, IMO.
Agreed. I have been convinced of that since early April of 2020. No accident and everything the main actors have done was done on purpose, with malice of forethought, to maximize harm to the general population - especially the kids.
The masking is getting ramped up because midterms. They want to protect their mules trafficking ballots, and protect their rioters if they don’t get their way.
And then there were people like myself who wore masks for the right reasons for almost 40 years of my life and had to be trained to use them every year and fitted professionally every few months, who were *screaming* about how useless masking are. Yet the people chose to live in fear instead wearing their filthy, bacteria ridden, oxygen depriving, and chemical/particulate saturated face diaper just so they could be seen doing "the right thing" and to avoid having someone yell at them. I'll never get over it.
The thing that angers me the most about Deborah Birx is she never said a word while in office about air sanitation systems then proceeds to go to work as a VP for a company that sells them once out of office. Total scumbag.
Ryan, the government is hoping THERE (literally) WILL BE BLOOD. Then the show really gets going. IMO, they are hoping to spark an incident by having Brandon commit one outrage after another. No administration can be this stupid by accident, right?
I am with you all the way on this. Jeff Childers wrote about the Times of London publishing a screed against "anti-vaxxers." Of course this is the Regime's position and a tip-off that they are not done with us. It is moving towards a bad end.
I am saying to let them expose themselves further...let as many see their unjust, anti-human policies for what they are. And speak up about what's going on. I am horrified at how many people I know who still believe this was about containing a virus.
This is great, thank you! Having small children, masks were especially the battlefield I was on. There are still a lot of people I think should apologize to me for alienating and criticizing and demonizing me for not masking my toddlers. But I did right by my kids, and they never once wore one (and in one of the deepest blue places in the nation!) But I’ve got some scarring from the whole affair.

Shame on them.
Defund and remove your kids from public schools
OR
Become aware of who you elect to your local school boards. They are the power and ultimate decision makers for the that particular school district.
Jaunie -
Agree.
How's this for using our feet to do right by our children? Know too many people who did this?:
We told our 9 year old twins (when this first started in March 20') to tell the teachers to come talk to their dad if they had problems with them not wearing masks.

Yup,
Our grandkids were pulled from public schools … they are thriving.
BRAVO🙌Ryan!
Ryan, you were on the cutting edge!
Another good comment, Ryan.
they are the same ones that would gladly put a sign at their front door, or in their front yard "hate has no place here... blahblahblah"
Those virtue signaling signs make me nauseous! Anyway, they are so hypocritical because you know those people hate Christians and conservatives.
I don’t think they know anything. I think they’re clueless.
It takes one brain cell, if that, to figure out that covering up your airways is not a good idea! 
Toddlers are smarter than their parents who masked them. They ripped them off because it impaired their breathing and felt so unnatural!
Some parents need the help that school provides in raising their kids. There's also something to be said for learning the ways of the world, which is full of dumb rules.
:(
Thank you, Ryan Gardner, for this comment.
We've all got some scarring - i love being in this survivors help group.
The wife of our local Minister came round last night - you know, the man of god who shut his church to the needy because Boris told him to . . .
The Church was the second biggest disappointment next to teachers imo.
Yeah but not only for shutting their doors but for complying with no singing while football fans could scream their heads off. They also got rid of the handshaking for The Peace.
But have you noticed all the inclusive stuff too? It’s not fishermen of men not fish. It’s now fisher people fishing people.
And Peter’s purse that consists of parish offerings no longer goes to the poor but to ESG investments.
I heard a pastor on the radio a few weeks ago announcing he was going to have a conversation with a black theologian about racism within the church and what we should be doing to make it right. Nearly ran off the road.
Couldn't agree more
Scientists and doctors.
For fuck sake hardly any of them spoke out against the unscientific absurd nature of the masks. I know a lot of people who work in genetics research and only one of them actually criticized the whole covid nonsense, the rest of them went along, or pulled out some garbage modelling study to "prove" that masks "worked".

Hey,
Thx for these links!
Love this type of stuff!!!
Are you speaking about the Catholic Church? The same Church who is headed by the spiritual adviser to the globalists? 
Ha!
I'm talking about "The Church" in a general sense like Jesus and his disciples did.
A lot of religious and spiritual leaders were either bribed or threatened/ afraid to speak up.
I went to the funeral service mass of a friend’s mother in a Catholic Church. Everybody but me was wearing masks. I was shocked.
When the celebrant said to only stay with your immediate family members for the sign of peace, I walked out.
Are they really that stupid?
I was raised Catholic. Sent my 4 daughters to a Sacred Heart School. Then in my 30’s started learning about the horrifying history of things done in the name of God. 
Good for you!
Hey question. Don't make fun of me. I just started social media less than a year ago on these stacks'.
What does "OBJ" at the end of a sentence mean? Is it like a placeholder or symbol for when an object/picture can't be identified in text?
Are churches still closed where you live? By the govt? If your church is closed, someone should kindly remind that minister that God did not give him the spirit of fear. He needs to sort out who his master is.
Parents who mask their kids are IDIOTS!!!
And they are participating in child abuse!
Amen!
Always remember the Mark Twain quip -
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Same here. Pulled my kids out of school for a year because if it.
Fighting to protect one's children is the basic test. The "good" side failed so resoundingly that it's a wonder the aftershocks haven't taken down blue cities. (Other things are, so never mind, I guess.)
But, but, but my ex-Superintendent of Schools friend in CA (ex-Superintendent and ex-friend) said his two grandsons never even got a cold all year long in 2021! They didn't learn much that year--except how to fear other humans--but it was worth shaving 20 points off their IQs...
You can tell him I didn't either-- without masking, vaxxing, or other intentional precautions.
Same here!
Yeah I heard that one a lot. Answer: the messaging on washing your hands was/is the most effective way to reduce germs. Also we’d have to compare whether they also became so fearful of GERMS that they never touched their face.

So this person's grandchildren now have weaker immune systems and weaker psyches. And eventually less respect for him once they figure it all out. Stupendous.
It's easier to indoctrinate the dim witted. The superintendent knows this already, I'm sure.
I know plenty of intelligent people who were very easily indoctrinated. Still are. And mean as snakes if you try to break the programming! Fear apparently makes you lose every bit of sense. Masks are talismans. The reasons those two little girls with the mask cutouts playing the instruments wore the masks because they need to have the feel of security even if it is only the outline of the mask and the feel behind their ears.
More likely - they were told "wear these absolutely ridiculous devices or quit band".
Yes, definitely could have been that too! How do children brought up during this time ever have any trust in adults. This new generation will either be very skeptical or utterly willingly dominated. Unless, of course the kids have been sequestered from the madness.
I found it truly depressing walking my dog past a school with children masked in playground each day and that is from someone that doesn't especially like children.
Because you have a heart.
And I'm sure you remember what it was like to be a child.
Sadly the vast majority of parents, who claim they love children, didn't care that their children were subjected to such cruelty.
BTW: You would love my children...because they are perfect!!
Just joking; they're little shit heads like I was...;)
I pray there are many more parents of young children who protected them as you did. If not, then our future is bleak indeed.
I'd say less than 1%.
My wife and I spent nearly a year traveling the country protesting mask mandates.
Total apathy by the vast majority of parents.
Most looked at us like we were crazy...even the ones who didn't particularly like having their kids required to wear masks.
True but sad.
I luv masks, I can spot a moron a mile away!
My husband tells the maskers in COSTCO "I appreciate your self identifying." Every time they say "huh?" and he motions with his hands a mask over his face " you know, the idiot flag." Or he says "the war's over, you can take off the uniform". Or something along those lines. He used to never want to go to COSTCO. Now he enjoys it. He should be a greeter.

😂🤣👍
He's my hero!
My fave is still the guy driving alone in the convertible with the top down.
I saw a woman riding her bike yesterday, with a scarf covering her face, that started under her eyes and went all the way down to her neck, on a beautiful and sunny South Florida day.
I have compassion for these people and some elderly neighbors in the building where I live, who mask in their car and in the elevator. They will remain emotionally scarred and scared, for life.
There is that. It is convenient that they actually advertise.
I often think back to the old George Carlin bit where he said something along the lines of, “you know that feeling you get when you talk to a person, and it starts off fine for the first few minutes, but after a while you realize, ‘…wait, this guy is fuckin stupid!’” I like to think about all the time masks have saved me skipping over the whole “after a while” part and reaching the same conclusion that George did.
I saw a double mask last weekend, outside. Was on a liberal college campus and the guy looked like a professor. Spotting a liberal a mile away!
You should ask them why they limit themselves to just 2.
me too.
When up close, glance at them straight in to their eyes.
I don’t trust the bastards at all, so when the pandemic first started, I started wearing an N95. They said not to wear a mask, so I assumed they were lying so they could hoard up all the masks. People around me were outright hostile, telling me they hoped I caught COVID, how stupid I was, etc etc… this was back in the beginning, when they were denying it was airborne. As I did my research, I quickly realized the masks were useless, so I stopped wearing them, only to watch every single person who was hostile to my mask wearing, become the biggest mask Nazis.
Talk about susceptibility to propaganda. I saw it with my own two eyes.
Thats a pretty good analog to my mask trajectory.
All I seem to be able to do is utter “O God” and shake my head. These folks gave no independent or critical thinking going on.
Interesting approach. I wasn't so intellectual about it. I don't trust them either, so I just go with what seems right to me-- which wasn't masking, whichever way they were preaching.
The whole thing started and I realized - it's a virus and viruses are gonna virus. If masks ever worked, we'd have been masking up _every_ flu season to limit the severity. Add in that the studies over the years have shown masks are ineffective against viruses (as seen here) and I pretty much figured that this was a case of a virus and we needed to do the smart thing. Isolate the most vulnerable, let everyone else go on with their lives.
I’m going to start wearing a mask again, and walk up next to other mask wearers and start coughing up a lung, and sniffling like I’m horribly sick. When they look at me, between wheezes, I’ll tell them, “I have COVID, it don’t worry, I’m wearing a mask.”
Then I’ll bite down on one of those Halloween blood pills, and start grunting and foaming blood from under my mask as I Linda Blair all over the grocery store aisle.
These idiots annoy me, time to get to have some fun out of this nonsense.
Truly awful people. I had one spit in my face while on an elevator because I refused to wear a mask.
Of course it escaped her that she had to pull her mask down to spit on me.
First time I ever thought about hitting a girl. I didn't...but boy I did give it a thought. That's what these experts wanted.
Some would call this assualt?
I’ve never had this happen to me. I live in a blue state, but my area is what I would call libertarian. No one bothers anyone else over anything. Even during the statewide mask mandates, our town office didn’t wear them or enforce them. The only place I got hassled over masks was at Walmart, but that quickly ended.
That said, I honestly carry pepper spray on me, if any of these mask psychos come at me they’re getting the whole damned bottle of it.
Especially spitting on me.
Actually, that is legally assault. If you had gotten sick or injured from it (took it in the eye), then it would be battery. Calmly call the cops in that situation and press charges.
I’m not so sure about just battery. If I recall correctly, states passed laws about this, especially due to the “challenge” of people licking ice cream and putting it back.
This was at the beginning height of the pandemic. I think there’s even more stringent laws about intentionally infecting people.
Except in California. In California you can intentionally give a child AIDS through pedophilic acts, and they’ll name a Navy ship after you.
OMG. You're last paragraph. Lol.
Insanity like this is exactly why my wife and I moved out of CA (both San Diego natives) in 08'
Just couldn't take it anymore.
OMG!
I didn’t wear a mask in the elevator in my building and I would start conversations with anyone who was riding with me. You know this whole thing is a fraud, right?
A lot of blank stares I bet. Even from people who didn't particularly like wearing masks.
Did the same thing; it was like they were completely shocked someone could ask such a verboten question!
I was surprised to find one couple and maybe a few others, who were on the same page with me. Of course they were not speaking to me or probably anyone else about it.
In 2020, a female MD in Spain spoke out on television about the unscientific protocols and lack of consensus from the medical and scientific community around Covid. She was part of a European group known as Doctors for Truth.
Knowing that my next neighbors were Spaniards, I asked if they had heard her compelling interview, which I watched at least half a dozen times. Turns out they both work in Big Pharma. The husband is an MD who left his practice to push this poison! :O
Fear is a powerful elixir
You don’t think they know what they are doing? I think $$$$ is the powerful elixir, in this case.
Seems she was purposely endangering you. Might be worth a call to the police. : )
Eh. I was raised not to be like that.
Plus it was a female. I pity her.
Now if it were a guy I would've punched him and taken it to the ground.
Not too many good wrestlers lose when a fight invariably goes to the ground...;)
Not too many women continue to make a scene when a wrestler punches her in the face either…
You're killing me. Lol
LMAO. Take video please
Please film it!😂
I love it. I need another amusing activity.
One of my neighbors is not only still masking when going out, but cleaning and wiping down all her groceries. They won't listen to the studies or data. The promoted fear seems to have switched a trigger on in some that may never turn off.
A number of my neighbors are like that still! It’s hard to see someone so completely broken by the state, and they don’t even know it.
Trust me, they love big brother.
Just as people have been psychologically conditioned to stay at home and not work. Grownass men saying things like "I'm staying home safe with my family." The effects of lower testosterone levels in men are becoming apparent.
This neighbor was sick after each jab, for at least 5 days, bed ridden for first 2 and unable to do much the next 3.. and still kept going back for more jabs.
These are the same people we will be footing the bill for when they invariably get a manufactured life sentence of looooong covid.
Easy way to collect an SSI check, Section 8 housing and SNAP benefits. Come to think of it I think I have loooong covid. Cough cough cough.
LOL.
Cough, sneeze, headache, muscle ache....ad infinitum.
The symptoms will be endless.
I saw a neighbor get her mail with gloves on just the other day. I almost literally couldn’t believe it.
Mail is the biggest and most dangerous of killers. I hire someone to retrieve it for me and then spray him down and burn the mail.
Drama queens. I know plenty of them.
My neighbor plays pickleball with mask and gloves if she finds out someone has been on a plane and has not waited several days in home quarantine before coming to the courts to play NOT on the courts with her - but another court in the general facility. She works as a volunteer at the hospital as a jab facilitator! INDOORS. I want to know why she does not quarantine after volunteering or going to the grocery or after swimming indoors with other folks in the facility...
Shaking my head in utter amazement
Just moved to the DC area from a more sane place. Holy cow, the maskers are everywhere. It’s really sad. Back at home I thought the few ardent mask wearers I saw might be ill with cancer or an auto immune disease and tried to think kindly about them. The sheer volume of them here, young and old, suggests that the illness is indeed psychological, like you say. I find that pretty scary.
We had dinner eat a very nice restaurant with some DC friends a while back. The wife almost insisted we eat outside, where a nor'easter was raging. When she was finally persuaded to eat indoors, she and her husband spent the entire meal pulling their masks up and down. It was insanity. I do love watching people dribble food into their masks! Kind of gag-inducing.
I would unfriend them
Your a better friend than me, I couldn’t deal with that level of stupid.
Welcome to the loony bin! Northern VA here, and there are still a lot of masked kids at my kid’s elementary school. His teacher as well, and hers is a huge cloth one that is always falling off her face. She actually used one hand to hold it on while she was talking to me.
While driving my son to the bus I pass so many tiny kids masked up on their way to school. I can’t help but worry about the brain damage being done to them. I read that masking lowers your oxygen intake by 20%. What is that doing to young children? And this is going on three years of this deficit....
And the psychological scars.
Gives me the heaviest of hearts when I see this.
There's a lady I see walking on the treadmill at the gym all the time who does the same thing. Why not just go for a walk outside if you don't wanna be around people?
I pray you are not masking your kid. Arm your child with simple truths and praise him for not being afraid because there is nothing real to fear.
I spent abt 6 months in DC. I think my IQ went down from being there. Hope you can escape soon.
No way. Made sure his new school was mask and jab free. (It’s NOT in DC proper)
Standing ovation to you most awesome parent!
oh my goodness, I do not know if I could have contained laughter at that.
super funny. Poor kids
I am in Loudoun. 35 miles west of the swamp
Y’all have your share of drama over there!
the progressives have oozed their way into Lo Co.
20+ years ago the motto was "don't Fairfax Loudoun County"
Well... that changed, I am not even sure what that meant specifically, but we are now a perfect target with at least 50 huge data centers.
That's how you spot a Liberal.........They are wearing Face Diapers!!
Culture shock! And many of those feeble minds are actively working in government!
I would like to know why used masks are not universally treated as BIOHAZARDOUS and given designated disposal containers. If I cut myself at work (which has happened), all materials used in treating the wound are not thrown in the regular trash but in a separate, labeled receptacle. Because we all know that bodily fluids are hazardous, right? Yet I see masks thrown around on the ground, even at medical centers. That alone told me that most people, even those Karens who preach mask-wearing, really do not take this all that seriously?
Not only that, but blood borne pathogens aren’t highly contagious.
Do you know how hard it would be to contract AIDS from a bloody napkin on the ground? But they treat it like graphite from the roof of reactor #4… Yet, this highly contagious world ending airborne virus called COVID, has masks floating across parking lots, on the floors of shops, overflowing out of trash cans…
That's how I knew from the beginning because of the lack of those.
I asked that question in 2020. I made a Facebook post on it.
If that was not one of the biggest red flags, I don’t know what was!! 
I read this as I am sitting, masked, in my doctor’s waiting room. It is maddening that they insist upon this in order for me to be seen for my annual physical.
My cardiologist, chiropractor, and dentist do not require face diapers, but every other doctor I see does. My dermatologist office still makes you sit in the parking lot and wait to be called in for your appointment after a verbal Covid screening.
Masks, being forced to practically go to a black market for a lifesaving prescription (and then being denied having it filled at multiple pharmacies), and of course the jab are why I have ZERO trust in the “healthcare” industry.
On the plus side, it has pushed me to get healthier so I have as little contact with them as possible.
Perhaps look for a different doctor. That could be a solution. We have to do the little things like that.
Suggestion: If you're able to find a doctor who doesn't require masks; then write him/her a 2 sentence letter why you switched.
While also writing a 2 sentence letter, to your current doctor, that says; Masks Are Modern Day Phrenology. Found someone else that believes in real science.
I’ve looked. Finding a good doctor is almost impossible to start with. I left my previous doctor because they were pushing the jab so hard, and the one I saw last year was incompetent on every level. My new doctor has never mentioned the jab and is very open to alternative/natural medicine, however her hospital requires masking, so there it is. There are 3 main hospital systems here in metro Detroit, and they all require them, to one extent or another.
My mom had cataract surgery last week and masks were required up in the surgery center. They wanted me to stay during the surgery obviously but I told them I’d be waiting in the building lobby where free breathing was allowed and they could call if there was an issue. It’s just ridiculous.
I get it.
You should ask the hospital/Doctor why they still have the policy since even the CDC has removed their guidance for masking in healthcare facilities.
I found doctors who don’t require them, even a place for a mammogram that didn’t require them. I’m also in a FB face mask freedom group wherein people share information on where to go for services without a mask. This sharing of info was really helpful during the height of the mandate requirements even here in Florida. We’re ‘free’ but we still had stupid county requirements for face masks which I ignored.
Last week I was sure I had broken my pinky toe. I called urgent care and asked if they required masks and they said yes so I said OK thank you. Then I called a Podiatrist Orthopedic Surgeon’s office, which is part of the same hospital "system" and they also required a mask.
They had all my information in the system, even though I have not been in a hospital, since I gave brith to my second daughter with a nurse/midwife, 30 years ago.
I skipped going to the doctor - I don’t have a primary physician, do not use “the system."
My toe straightened itself out, stopped throbbing, and stinging after taking Homeopathic arnica several times a day and putting arnica cream on it.
Of course the Industrial Medical Mafia wants to do away with homeopathy, herbs and supplements!
You’re not alone and the collapse of faith in ‘the system’ is turning a lot of people to homeopathic methods and self diagnosis.
I turned to it 30 years ago.
Orthopedic surgery or ER medicine, when done by conscientious and honest MDs is the only medicine I ascribe to.
Just take it off and force them to forcibly remove you from the practice. What are they gonna do??? I’d love for a doctors office to call the police on me or have some rent-a-cop escort me off the premise. They have no leg to stand on.
Why on earth would I do that? I’m only there out of necessity, so pitching a fit like a child means I don’t get the care I need. You think they give a crap whether I get care or not? Of course they don’t. They’ll just move on to the next patient and I’ll still be left with the issue that needs attention.
That’s fine, but don’t complain If mandates come back. Compliance, regardless of the reason is compliance. If you don’t mind putting on a worthless mask just to do things that’s your right. I refuse, and have refused, left places that wouldn’t serve me without a mask over last 2 years. I won’t comply, anywhere, ever again. Going along to get along is how we got here. Only mass non compliance will ever end this insanity. And yes, that may mean temporary inconvenience for people.
Not receiving necessary medical care is more than a “temporary inconvenience”. But hey, if your retina detaches and you’d rather go blind than put on a mask so someone will give you the necessary emergency treatment, I guess that’s your choice. But in an instance like that, I suspect your belligerent talk will go out the window and you’ll gladly don the face diaper.
Eh, I left the facility that wouldn’t provide me one. They insisted I wear a mask which I would have complied to do; but then they didn’t even have any available! It was so dumb. It was for a mammogram and I asked if I was supposed to take my own gown as well. I left it was too stupid. I found another radiology place that didn’t require them if you were vaccinated. Ok, sure, I’m vaccinated. 😉
I live in Bangkok. Outdoor mask wearing mandates have been removed some time ado, but still near 100% of people are wearing them.
This is what a population brainwashed and compliant looks like!
Here in the UK they permitted ‘exemptions’ on medical grounds. At first I did not want to play along by going this route, but around December 2020 I decided I was suffering from very serious bouts of aphronopathia and got myself one of those exemption dog tags. Never got challenged to put a muzzle on after that. And strangely enough no one ever asked me what condition I had for my exemption.
For the curious, aphronopathia is my neologism for ‘suffering fools’, from Greek ‘aphron’ fool and the oh-so medical ‘pathos’ sufferance. I don’t suffer fools gladly.
I made an A4 sized Govn’t exemption form that I hung around my neck. You know, like animals at farm auctions wear. I recall at some hospital outpatient waiting rooms they used to give patients A4 numbers to wait their turn. As if we are no more then mere sheep/cattle
Hahaha!
Thank you for giving me my word of the day!
They lied to us. Early and often and throughout the whole shabang. Of that, there is no doubt (Yoda voice...).
The more interesting point to ponder is, to what end? Well, the drastic move to totalitarianism in the entire western world gives a really big clue, no? Greed and incompetence are not the drivers, but passengers on this excursion, IMO.
Agree. It makes their job much easier to deperson the population by masking them.
They have provided incentives and employed mental brutality to have people exchange their purpose in life for chains.
It's incredible to see how this all ties in together. It's no accident.
Agreed. I have been convinced of that since early April of 2020. No accident and everything the main actors have done was done on purpose, with malice of forethought, to maximize harm to the general population - especially the kids.
Absolutely. We are confronting the greatest evil in human history, I believe.
The masking is getting ramped up because midterms. They want to protect their mules trafficking ballots, and protect their rioters if they don’t get their way.
And then there were people like myself who wore masks for the right reasons for almost 40 years of my life and had to be trained to use them every year and fitted professionally every few months, who were *screaming* about how useless masking are. Yet the people chose to live in fear instead wearing their filthy, bacteria ridden, oxygen depriving, and chemical/particulate saturated face diaper just so they could be seen doing "the right thing" and to avoid having someone yell at them. I'll never get over it.
It puts the needle in the skin, or else it gets the mask again
A world ruled by Nurse Ratcheds🤬
Great compendium. This should be given to Rutgers and every school system in MA.
The thing that angers me the most about Deborah Birx is she never said a word while in office about air sanitation systems then proceeds to go to work as a VP for a company that sells them once out of office. Total scumbag.
If they bring the masks back; THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
And I'll be first in line.
Hope I don't get in trouble........
Ryan, the government is hoping THERE (literally) WILL BE BLOOD. Then the show really gets going. IMO, they are hoping to spark an incident by having Brandon commit one outrage after another. No administration can be this stupid by accident, right?
Keep your sword sheathed.
Well do you think masks have the potential for something similar to the Star of David?
I believe that potential exist.
How long would you put up with that crap? We were in a fight for space and time in society.
I do not plan on ever giving that up without a fight.
I get what you're saying. I am the last person you will see advocate for violence. I am a pacifist, but I can only be pushed so far.
I am with you all the way on this. Jeff Childers wrote about the Times of London publishing a screed against "anti-vaxxers." Of course this is the Regime's position and a tip-off that they are not done with us. It is moving towards a bad end.
I am saying to let them expose themselves further...let as many see their unjust, anti-human policies for what they are. And speak up about what's going on. I am horrified at how many people I know who still believe this was about containing a virus.
John Henry, keep your quick draw skills honed. The definition of "meek" is not weak. It is knowing you could kill them all, but choosing not to do so.
Great advice taken to heart, Mrhounddog.
