this was supposed to be a kitten corner, but gatito bueno muttered something about “i was born on a thursday, but it wasn’t THIS thursday” and went and hid under the couch.
This is my face diaper. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My face diaper is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must fail at my pathetic life. Without me, my face diaper is useless. Without my face diaper, I am useless. I must wear my face diaper true. I must wear it tighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must sneeze at him before he sneezes at me. I will. Before Fauci I swear this creed: my face diaper and myself are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our filthy smiling enemy. We are the saviors of my life and the life of Grandpas everywhere. So be it, until there is no virus, but healthy filthy masks on every child. Amen.
You should come to Spain. People cannot get rid of masks, even in the outside. Masks are not legally required to be used in the outside, but more than 50% (I have counted) still wear them. There is a kind of person that I especially like. They wear the mask below the nose in the outside:
- I think we all agree that it does not help, your nose is free.
- You can legally put it off and nobody will say anything.
- But still they wear it, they simply cannot live without a mask around.
So sad. I just came back from Austria and Italy. It seems they put their masks on the moment they get out of the shower. I, on the other hand, was a rebel. I refused. And only once, in Verona when I was walking to the restroom, did an employee tell me to put the mask on. I walked away…..
Here masks are compulsory indoors. I have not tried to put it off, I just wear it badly so that the air flows perfectly in and out...
People are scared and it is difficult to change that. That, I can understand. I honestly do not want to get that virus, it can get nasty. But the alternative is to live with fear... for how long? I think years or forever (a good vaccine can never appear, like AIDS). Better treatments, yes, but when? I am not going to wait for that in order to live my life. Also, I want my kids to live in the same world I have lived in, with normal interactions with other people.
Hi, Shasta. Are you from Spain or are you just living here temporally?
I am Spanish (La Coruña), and I can confirm everything you say. Spain is a total mess, and we´re one bad season away from politicians creating a legal frame to make them compulsory forever, at least in winter, and people will love it. The rupture of reasoning, the fall of common sense is total due to 24/7 of media fearmongering, with the lowest level of scientific understanding or moral principles one can conceive.
I´ve never used them outdoors when they were conpulsory, in a country with a 100% compliance, so you can imagine how my life was for a year... I could write a book. People violently mad or totally scared. I´ve seen waves of people just dissapearing from my sidewalk like I was Jesus performing the Red Sea miracle, when they saw me maskless, girls jumping from the promenade to the sand, women crying, or hiding behind trees, scuffles with the police... Total hell.
Oh my, yes, total hell. Last December, we were in FL for vacation, you know the state with no mandates. We were birdwatching on a couple of OUTSIDE nature boardwalks and our adult son who is as non-compliant as I am and I were not 50 ft. in and people were screaming at us to put masks on. I told the "Karens" to move along and he just ignored them and kept walking. At another point, some old guy threateningly told him to put on one and he said "no" and kept walking. He said to me, "what was that geezer going to do, fight me? I'm 6'4" and 210 pounds!" At the next one, some guy in a wheelchair asked me to put one on and I said, "no, I'm outside, it's not necessary." This guy had had covid already and then basically wished it on me. This has revealed the authoritarian, maliciousness in people and I wish they'd look in the mirror and see the haters they have become, but all they can see is their virtue and self-righteousness.
Even now with no mandates, probably 50% of people are wearing face diapers which is why I hate going shopping. My gym seems to be the only place where I don't feel like I'm living in an outdoor insane asylum as soon as I walk out of my house.
Thank you for your the take on Florida. I honestly did not expect that 50% in a place that is, along with S. Dakota, Texas, or Sweden in Europe, the reference for us.
Spanish. I also left the mask before it became optional. My baby was showing a strange behavior in the street. He was a different baby at home. I think he thought that the street was a no-face place. So that was it for me. But I had no issues. Just once a girl got a bit scared.
The foremost thing is being able to get through a winter where they will manipulate (again) the cumulative incidence and death figures. If we can surf the media/medical/political madness these 4 months, maybe March will be different. Good luck to you:)
i am also an spaniard but in bcn. i used to be hooked to several news radio shows accross the political spectrum. i had to stop listening to them. the most frigtening thing wasn't even the ignorant comments of the journalists but regular people calling for more and harsher mandates.
many people on the street still wear masks. i overheard a conversation in the gym today, two guys in their early 40s, in shape. they were blaming people's behaviour from covid not going away. not a shadow of a doubt that perhaps it is this idiotic approach what's brought us here. it is the people's fault, despite the almost 90% vax rate and spain having had very strict lockdowns and masks mandates and how compliant and obedient all of us are -- my hat goes off to you purple man, i did not use a mask outdoors other tan early in the morning when there was just very few people out in order to avoid what you did endure.
mind you, we've been working out with masks for many months by now. only a few weeks ago did the catalan gov allow for not using a mask at the gym as long as you're working out by yourself. still, many people still wear it even when no one is close to them. exercising with a mask, another winner that surely does improve your health.
Yeah, exercising or living with a mask...What a great idea. How could human being not realize it before?
You know, it takes new words to express the astonishment for a sciencific class that, in one year, has agreed with (and pushed) the notion that the best social health strategy is interfering with the very basis of life and health itself (breathing), wearing a mask full of bacteriae and fungus all day, every day, destroying your dreams, your economy, shutting down culture and spirituality, having you locked up in your own house without receiving fresh air or sun... To say it is crazy is not enough:)
It is my understanding that there is an obvious technocratic movement that tries to make human interaction or interaction with the environment as uncomfortable as for us not desiring it anymore, so that we´d end up at home, having nothing in our real lives, and depending on virtual reality like junkies, where we´ll be gods.
I am a totally calm, stable person, but there were times when I understood the feeling of madness, of irreality, of being in a lucid dream. I particularly remember a Saturday, October/November 2020, when I walked downtown in La Coruña, which was as crowded as it could be, and people literally starting acting like Jack Nicholson in "As good as it gets", or "Mejor imposible", as we called in Spain. Do you remember the way he walked to avoid contact? There were nasty comments, yes, but especially families leaving the sidewalk in fear, old people stopping and protecting with their arms in front of their faces, etc. Hundreds of people and I could have walked swinging my arms and I would not touch anybody...I stopped and started laughing like a maniac, imitating them. I swear it felt unreal.
Regarding your other post, yes, this winter is going to be decissive. I lost all hope of a miracle. Official stats are so easily manipulable that no way they are going to dismantle a legal, argumentative, scientific, mediatic scaffolding that has been proved so succesful. Actually it´ll go worse, because, as I already told people in 2020, it serves for any other inoculated fear, especially flu and viral pneumonia. And that´s where we are now...
See you around, Agustina. Good luck and thanks for the comments:)
"The modern means of mass communication bring the entire world daily into each man's home; the techniques of propaganda and salesmanship have been refined and systematized; there is scarcely any hiding place from the constant visual and verbal assault on the mind. The pressures of daily life impel more and more people to seek an easy escape from responsibility and maturity."
From the book; The Rape of the Mind by Joost Meerloo.
Please do write a book. If humanity survives our current mass madness, future generations will find the record of your experiences valuable. Besides, I’d like to read about them.
Hello, TS. The doubt you express about Humanity maybe not surviving this madness is exactly what I was wondering about yesterday.
Hearing/watching/reading the scientific pundits (!) spreading the same unscientific crap in November 2021 than in March 2020, with arguments that already presume the indefinite character of these measures, made me realize precisely the possibility of Humanity not overcoming this trial, just not surviving such a tremendous amout of idiocy.
Besides, the new generations will only be prepared for a digital/virtual world, and will have no tools whatsoever to face real life shortenings or catastrophic events of any kind.
You know, every generation thinks it´s the chosen one to witness something extraordinary. Most of the times is not that way, but this time I am afraid it is. This might be it. And well, it´s been a good trip. Maybe it´s time for going back to Source.
So disheartening to here this. I walked the Camino a few years ago from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela & further to Finisterre. Absolutely the most incredible journey end to end and I had hoped to make my way back to Spain and buy property there in a few years. No doubt the whole pilgrimage opportunity/gift is no longer feasible. That's a tragic loss.
thank you, Laurie. Santiago de Compostela is a part of my province, and just 40 miles from my city.
I honestly don´t see things changing for the better, here or in any country. Conciliation is impossible, because no amount of scientific data or clever reasoning can compete with subconsciously tatooed fear. Besides, the younger generations are fascinated by the promises of mental/physical enhacement or even digital immortality, and they see wearing masks or not having freedom of movement as something totally normal or a small price to pay to join the transhuman army...
My take is there will be a partition of our species in people complying with that transhuman order (99% of our species) and 1 % who will manage to create some kind of retro-future in isolated communities. I might be wrong...
I have been wanting to take my teenagers to Spain and a few other countries in Western Europe but that dream has been put in a cryogenic chamber. I value our life and health much more than travel. Although I do worry that my 19 y.o. daughter may give in next year IF the vax mandates are not removed.
Hello. The problem is not that all behave that weirdly (which, thank God, is not the case), but the unquestioned compliance of nearly every Spaniard, with a total 100% of the media living at the expense of creating fear. The result is people just accepting that "life" is this. It´s like life pre-2020 does not exist.
I was afraid at first, too, but hate masks, so I only wore it at stores where they handed them out (Walmart) and shopped at a store one town over, where they never asked to wear one. they won a good customer! Now it amazes me that, even though there has not been a mandate for quite some time, people still wear them. I really had to laugh out when I noticed a man in the middle of the woods with a mask on.
learn from it, I'd say. we must all learn from it. these are the people we are condemned to live with. we are seeing the true nature of our compatriots. after this is over, if it ever is, they'll still be the same. don't ever be fooled again, don't ever again expect something different from them.
This is hte exact notion that frightens me. When I look around and see my own countrymen so utterly fooled and hopeless. It makes me feel like there's no hope. That the brainwashing and propaganda are too strong.
Good point. But, will they be available? In Spain I do not think you can get HCQ or Ivermectine. No doctor will prescribe that. The only way is get the jab.
Prophylactic protocols: years and years, just in case... No, thanks.
Early tratment if I get the illness: Yes! I have done my research (FLCCC+AAPS(McCullogh)+Zelenko). Being healthy and 50- you are done with Vit. C, Vit. D, Zinc Sulfate and Quercetine. I cannot access Zn nor Q...
i find 'indiamart' online puts us in touch with many suppliers and i have done two good transactions, got the right stuff at the right price and promptly. I get quotes from selected possible suppliers first and I must say that I've had quotes that are twice the price I'd have to pay domestically, retail for some things. So you can get there but exercise a little caution and discretion.
I had Covid in August and got low-dose ivermectin (stromectol) at the pharmacy with no prescription — but they didn’t make it easy because it was sold out almost everywhere!
i found a pharmacy in andorra that had ivm but i believe you did need a prescription. also, i am not sure you would receive the medication considering customs denied me the delivery of some plain make-up coming from the us only about 4 weeks ago.
Good, glad you knew that. You cannot get quercetin in Spain? Can you order from the USA or elsewhere? You can get ivermectin from India without a prescription, but you're right about doctors not prescribing it except through telemedicine here - FLCCC and AFLDS - America's Frontline Doctors. I don't do ivermectin prophylactic, just all the other supplements including quercetin and zinc.
Exactly. So many are so afraid of dying that they have stopped living. I am so sad and infuriated for my kids. The oldest has spent 1/4 of his life in the madness. They are so scared of covid that they keep asking when they can get the vaccine and wear there masks everywhere. At least I finally got them to stop yelling “Daddy, Daddy, Masku! Masku!”, every time we go on the train.
Shasta, I live in Spain too. At school, my kids have to wear a mask both indoors AND outdoors. My son’s friend is currently over for a play date at our house and won’t take his mask off. Impressive stamina.
I do not allow people to wear masks in my home. My sons fiance attempted to last fall and I said, "Young lady, if you are wearing that mask to protect yourself from us, you should leave until you are comfortable to be around us mask-free. If you are wearing it because you think you may make us sick you should not be leaving your house."
She removed it.
She is 23. They got married this fall. She definitely had covid last september. She got pregnant this spring. She vaxxed in july. She is an idiot without an independent thought in her head. She voted for brandon.
Prayers that the baby is ok. But it might be years before they know what they’ve done. My oldest daughter, who is a speech path, is a mask nazi. Her 4 little boys wear them everywhere. We can’t even talk about it anymore. When they came to visit last spring I kept pulling the masks down and telling the boys, “you don’t have to wear them here”. Her husband is phd in medical research. And they got vaxxed as soon as it was available. And told me to quit sending propaganda when I forwarded Alex Berensons data. The most educated people I know with no common sense
Hi, Catmac. My condolences for being in Spain, as I am. You can see what I told Shasta.
Reading/watching every single day that masks are the best weapon against Covid, when there is no scientific basis whatsoever, and tons (I mean, TONS) of data telling otherwise (there is not a single infection line worldwide that shows the slightest variation before/after masking use) is driving me crazy:)
Yes, I agree. Studies, research showing they cause damage. But what's the use? 'They' don't want to look at reason. Simple as that. They are devoted to madness.
Masks are the perfect example.
For ALL masks have methods of use, place, time, purpose of use, procedures for use, etc...
NONE of that is ever applied to the ubiquitous covid face mask use we're surrounded by.
But not following all the prescribed procedures make ANY mask fairly useless from the word go: it is STIPULATED by the manufacturers, by the whole of mask theory: right mask, right time, right conditions, right protocols etc..
Nope.
No use trying to talk to them
It is not journalistic exaggeration, it is not flight of fancy, it is simple truth: we are living in times of insanity, we are living in a lunatic asylum amongst the willfully insane.
Hola Purple Man. I agree that Spaniards were easily fed the narrative: all the media had to do was threaten them with killing their beloved abuelos and they immediately complied. But unlike North America, it’s not virtue-signalling in Spain. Their unquestioning obedience is more likely a relic of the intergenerational trauma of franquismo. Spaniards of that heavy era learned to shut up and keep their heads down to stay alive because the ones who didn’t, didnt. So the survivors passed on their coping mechanisms to their children and grandchildren without ever telling anyone the reasons, the stories too painful and dangerous to tell. There is a lot of residual pain and frustration in the Spanish social consciousness, but I am very grateful to live here and feel it healing.
Shasta, I live in Southwest Michigan. There remain here a 50/50 mask donners. This time last year I was the only one not wearing one. It is not a law, just an "ask", you know, for the "common farce". Anyhow...
This question for you, as one who lives in Spain, is off-topic (and yet, not) but I am wondering if you have read the novel "The Cypress Believe in God" by Jose Gironella? It is about a middle class family living in Girona when the Spanish Civil War breaks out. It does a nice job of relating how different people are drawn into different "sides" (apparently, there were more than 2).
Good for you! Reminds me of the sign on the bathroom at a NWR in March (in FL!!) about it being federal property so face diapers were required. I couldn't have cared less. Let's go Brandon!
Only 50%, yes I want to go to Spain. Here in Japan it is near 100% mask usage outside. While many building you can not enter without the compliance rag, we have never had a mandate from any governmental body. They have just lifted the 4th Emergency declaration after our 5th wave passed yet masks everywhere. Went in to a local drugstore today maskless and no one said anything. Yet, everyone still wears them.
Hard to say. I do not think so. I think it is just pure and utter fear.
I have to admit that the situation in Spain in March-April 2020 was awful, or at least that is/was our perception. Now, I doubt it, having watched what I have watched from the bloody mass media.
Italy was in our headlines at that time here in the US. I enjoy hearing people's experiences from all over the world in these comments. I used to travel a lot but I've only left Texas to pop into Oklahoma for a couple days in the last 2 years. I doubt my children will ever be able to travel like I did. But they might live in "interesting times"
Italy was a little bit ahead of us in time. And apparently the situation was even worse than here. I also used to travel, now I am dangerous ;) and cannot enter the US, for instance.
Anyhow, I can enjoy short trips, no special necessity to travel. I am sorry for the kids, but on the other hand the generation before mine did not travel much abroad, perhaps only the honey moon or even nothing.
I agree with you. I RARELY get into a mask conversation/argument with folks, but if I do, it always wanders off into a political statement. WTF. I even saw a bumper sticker that says BE A GOOD DEMOCRAT/SOCIALIST - WEAR A MASK. Not sure if it was sarcasm, I couldn’t see the driver.
Same sh*t happening in Puerto Rico. But the prize goes to Oregon schools where little kids are forced to wear masks while playing during recess - outdoors & in the rain!! I kid you not.
Masks outside are the absolute abomination... I'm in doom central Canada but barely anyone wear them outside. It's quite rare. They might keep it on for a longer time once they get out of a store in fall, winter, mainly because it's freezing outside. In a warmer country, keeping your mask, cannot understand.
I wish everyone could experience the great state of Texas. We aren’t perfect - far from it - but we have been able to walk around mask-less, indoors and outdoors, for over a year now. I live in the most liberal part of Houston, and even here where we have the knucklehead leftist Sheila Jackson Lee representing us, it’s extremely rare to see anyone wearing an obedience diaper outside (or even inside, for that matter). It’s an illness that turns people into 🐑 (sheeple).
I thought the same of Melbourne back in November. But as soon as they were not required to wear them they came off. Now back on of course. Same problems as Spain has no doubt, wearing a mask in 34ºC or 38ºC is no fun at all.
Lol never mind the fact that masks don't prevent the spread of viruses and were never designed to. It's astounding to me how normalized this behavior has become. It's actually terrifying. People just waltz around with them on as if it's routine. Like putting your shoes and socks on in the morning. COVER THAT SNOUT!
People who wear them 24/7 blindly complying with ridiculous mandates are weak-minded, ignorant to actual science, and frankly, idiotic. So, when is it okay to take them off? When daddy government tells you that you can? I severely underestimated the collective IQ of the average individual. As in, it's really, REALLY low.
There are countless studies about mask efficacy and it all points to them being wildly ineffective to a downright complete waste of time. Heck, it's common sense. How exactly is a medical mask going to stop a nanoscopic particle? It's not. Ever. This is all about fear and tricking people into thinking they too can be immortal if they'd just. mask. up. In your heart of hearts, deep down in the pit of your soul, you'd have to think that surely one must adhere to logic and common sense, right? Nope. MASK UP! In fact, double up!! That'll surely stop the spread.
Have people once stopped and thought that "Hey, we've been complying and wearing these face diapers for almost 2 years now and they haven't done a single f'ing thing?" Nope, more virtue signaling. Heck, even some of the workers in stores I've talked to know it's bullsh*t.
After a number of IQ tests over my 65 years of life I am consistently in the the top 4% of the population. I used to be quite proud of this as I am not academic. However, I now realise with much of the population apparently having an IQ of about 10 my top 4% isn't perhaps all that good.
I think laziness and making unfounded assumptions is a large part of the problem.
My husband was diagnosed with eye cancer, and died after two awful years of monthly chemo treatments in a Philadelphia hospital. I sat there as he was rolled out of the operating room. NEVER ONCE did a hospital employee wear a mask outside of that procedure room. NEVER ONCE did a hospital employee wear one in his recovery room or his bedroom. But I’m sure they all do now…..
That's the other piece to it; people make these bizarre connections and idiotic "procedures" that make absolutely no sense at all. A popular one is to put a mask on when you enter a restaurant, but then take it off when you sit down. As if COVID's taking a Lil break while you eat. Lmao.
Yes, terrifying. Masks are not benign. they are bacteria incubators. Like putting a Petri dish on your face to breath through. Yet people will argue “It’s all about reduction, dummy!”. Yes it may reduce the virus in and out but not enough to matter and can even increase your chances of not just getting sick but catching Covid. Numskulls.
Think about how many times you're out and about and someone's like "Be safe!" It's like another weird, subtle form of virtue signaling. Be safe. I mean, really? There are things you can do to minimize risk, sure. Like, don't pull out into oncoming traffic, be alert at all times, don't bang a prostitute, carry a gun if you want (you get the idea). But people die literally every day for thousands of different reasons. You can't stop death from happening to you. When it's your time to die, that's it. You're done.
COVID is just another to add to the list, but the kicker is that your chances of dying from it are way lower than say, heart disease, or cancer, or pick any of the societal health issues we have. If people, instead of trying to put a band-aid on a broken leg, took personal responsibility for their health and well-being, there would be way less disease across the board. I know some folks who haven't gotten the flu in over 10 years (and I haven't gotten it in 5+) and this just in, it's NOT because they/I went and got a f'ing vaccine, or put a fishnet over their mouth. Sheesh. As if that's the solution to all of life's problems.
No, the reason is that they respect their bodies and make every effort to provide them with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that it REQUIRES to function correctly. This is not f'ing rocket science. Because the irony is that they're now all of a sudden professing to somehow "care about health and safety" even though they've proven OVER and OVER by their actions that health was NEVER a priority. Ever.
Just look at the never-ending fast food lines for proof of that. Or people who still smoke cigarettes even though it's literally 2021. The list goes on and on. People LOVE to abuse themselves and overindulge to the point where they're begging for a quick fix.
Never mind the fact that your natural immunity is much stronger than a vaccine over the long term. I'm going to stop now. I seriously sometimes want to bang my head against a wall.
Even if I'm completely wrong about all of this, it's STILL MY personal choice whether or not I put a mask on or get a vaccine. I make that decision, not some bureaucrat. And if it's not a choice anymore, then this is not America anymore. It's something completely different.
This Covid pandemic is accompanied by a hidden mind degeneration pandemic, affecting feeble minds like Dr Landon's.
Not only do they spout nonsense, they sprawled a whole army of fact checkers, who outright lie while pretending to "give facts", givin gcover for censorship.
I higlight last week's vacine failure report in the UK and I expose one of the fact checkers trying to suppress UKHSA data.
No one should be surprised to find that most of the so called "fact "checkers" are millennial "Karens" with a degree in journalism, education, women's studies, etc. who just want to "make a difference" while they are "giving back."
Cor, that link lead me down a real rabbit hole of self-appointed and unaccountable "face checkers" bullying official Government agencies into adjusting their numbers to suit the narrative.
I live in Salem Oregon. Walking distance from Governor Kate Brown’s mansion and I never wear a mask anywhere in any establishment. No one gives me a second look or even mentions a word to me about being maskless. I’m done with this bullshit and I will never comply! Also I will never ever be injected with this abomination!!!
Bravo!! I live in Oregon City. I must admit that I'm already considering other states in case another Democrat wins the governor seat. It would be great if we could lose the supermajority of Democrats.
It's sort of perversely true. Once we admit that we are slaves who must do whatever the 'leaders' say, including muzzling ourselves on command, the elites will know they have won.
I agree. Months ago I told my vax happy daughter who works in a hospital to get ready for job 2-3 times per year. She freaked, and said NO WAY. Now, she’s getting ready for her first booster and acknowledges she’ll be getting many more. Hate to say I Told Ya So…….
A bit off topic...This morning I heard a physician advising that he understood how parents could be concerned about vaccinating children what with the sample size being small but the good news is that 1MM have been vaccinated and there are no reported adverse effects. He then went on to say that he could see waiting to see what happens around Thanksgiving when the second dose is given as there is some concern about the second dose. I can't help but wonder if parents were asked to sign a release or an acknowledgement of being in a live clinical trial with no recourse to the maker. This is absurd.
Thus why I've never worn one. Once. Survived social scrutiny - no problem. Get tough people, this ain't going away on its own. Stop complying, it's really not that hard.
10/30/2021 Florida has the lowest COVID-19 case rate in the country. They did it without vaccine mandates, without mask mandates in school and with no restrictions on businesses.
“I’m delivering the science as the science is delivered to the medical journals. And it evolved," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said on FOX News Sunday. “I deliver it as soon as I can when we have that information available.”
"Under the new guidelines released last week, fully vaccinated people — those who are two weeks past their final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine — can quit wearing masks outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings and give up social distancing."
July 27, 2021; Reporter: “You said if you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask.”
Gatito has no reason to be fearful of what some of the more enlightened humans call the Mask Paradox. It's completely illogical but we just need to follow along and don't ask questions.
We are all forced to wear masks in my blue state. Hate/detest it. Hardly ever go in public anymore because I just can't stand to wear them. Feel like I can't breathe. They don't work but our imbecile governor thinks he's king; all the dumb Dems who run this one-party state (and sit on our state's supreme court) have all drank the same Koolaid. Can't wait to move!
WTF? That is all I can say. I asked at my kids private school, what is the plan to descale mask regulations, walk back, etc. They said there isn't one.
This is another example of the half-assery that Americans now accept in their lives... which has to stop. I recall a past life where this statement would have been ridiculed to the point that the 'professional' uttering it would have thought twice before gifting us with their profound vision.
We've entered a phase of reduced expectations in society. Have fun with this in Engineering... "the time when we're going to not have to worry about bridges collapsing and planes dropping from the sky is going to be around the time when we just accept that sometimes, they do."
Pro tip: no, they really don't. We have the ability and technology to keep them up. We're losing the will to demand it.
I know right? She DOES have a Substack but she doesn't use it much. Yesterday, Emma posted about recent suicides among middle and high schoolers in the area. 😢
Propoganda appears to have been very effective across the world. Ah, but Africa! Africa...lowest vaxx rates and lowest deaths...why? No vaxx, healthy weight, few metabolic disease, cross immunity?, herd immunity, ivermectin?, no masks or social distancing, lots of vitamin D,...yet we are told virus disproportionate ly affects dark skinned people..
No truth. Just talk, talk, talk and while we talk the madmen make it worse.
Here's some truth:
The Virus isn't so bad. We are Human Beings. We MUST live with viruses and we can and DO.
All the Govt measures have made the whole thing MUCH, MUCH worse.
And here's some more:
Don't talk about the Vaccines: talk about the IMMUNE system.
All the vaccines in the world will not kill a single virus particle.
Got it? No Vaccine EVER killed a single virus particle.
None. Never. Ever.
Your IMMUNE system does it.
Vaccines PRETEND to be an enemy so that your IMMUNE system will start fighting NOW.
That's all.
You must know that and think that way so that you can get it straight:
The IMMUNE system is what it is all about.
So HELP your IMMUNE system.
Give your IMMUNE system strength.
Don't prod it into action with a DIRTY stick that brings its own evil.
Don't keep prodding and prodding and prodding....
If you will LOOK at your IMMUNE system you'll see what it needs and can use to help itself fight.
Like: Vitamin D, sunshine, Zinc, friends, happiness, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, NAC, quercetin, optimism, health, energy, company of friends, love, feeling of empowerment, free breathing and many more: ALL the things your GOVT PROHIBITS.
YOU and your IMMUNE system will protect your health.
NOT your govt and a vaccine. NO.
Stop kicking the crap out your IMMUNE system with a dirty boot and HELP it.
Yet you tell people about your natural immunity (which by the way is stronger than any vaccine over the long term) and they look at you like you have 2 heads.
The only place I ever wear one is at the doctors office because it is impossible to find another who is not wearing one also. Which really irks me since of all people they should know better since they’ve gone to MEDICAL school where I assume they still teach about the nature of virus. I do walk in without one and when they ask me if I have a mask I reply that I don’t own one. They reluctantly have to provide me one. I always wondered how intelligent people feel for nazi propaganda. I know have my answer.
If masks did what Landon thinks they do, then they would be treated as biohazardous material and you'd see little red canisters on every street corner and in every establishment everywhere.
Where do they find the stupidest people to be official spokesmen? As Moe Howard of the Three Stooges clearly stated, “Who Said You Need Brains To Be A Plumber”.
This template construction is pretty meaningless and the proof is by substitution of basically anything negative about lefty civilization the modern psyche notices and see how it holds up. "I think honestly for most people the time when we're going to not have to worry about [inserted concern] anymore is going to be around about the time when they just accept that sometimes they have to [tolerate inserted concern]." Take it out for a spin: try "gas prices," or "prosecutorial misconduct," or "racial violence," or "corrupt institutions," or "deceptive media," or "terrorist teachers," or "hyperinflation," or "Chinese bioweapons," or "election fraud," or .....I could go on. Now try it with anything vaguely right and see how socially acceptable it becomes to Tw***er mobs. Try "Trump re-election," or "tax cuts," or "parental control," or "election integrity," or "Chinese scientist deportations," or "DeSantis policies," etc. It doesn't. :)
Oh I needed that this morning. Thank you.
This is my face diaper. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My face diaper is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must fail at my pathetic life. Without me, my face diaper is useless. Without my face diaper, I am useless. I must wear my face diaper true. I must wear it tighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must sneeze at him before he sneezes at me. I will. Before Fauci I swear this creed: my face diaper and myself are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our filthy smiling enemy. We are the saviors of my life and the life of Grandpas everywhere. So be it, until there is no virus, but healthy filthy masks on every child. Amen.
You should come to Spain. People cannot get rid of masks, even in the outside. Masks are not legally required to be used in the outside, but more than 50% (I have counted) still wear them. There is a kind of person that I especially like. They wear the mask below the nose in the outside:
- I think we all agree that it does not help, your nose is free.
- You can legally put it off and nobody will say anything.
- But still they wear it, they simply cannot live without a mask around.
So sad. I just came back from Austria and Italy. It seems they put their masks on the moment they get out of the shower. I, on the other hand, was a rebel. I refused. And only once, in Verona when I was walking to the restroom, did an employee tell me to put the mask on. I walked away…..
Here masks are compulsory indoors. I have not tried to put it off, I just wear it badly so that the air flows perfectly in and out...
People are scared and it is difficult to change that. That, I can understand. I honestly do not want to get that virus, it can get nasty. But the alternative is to live with fear... for how long? I think years or forever (a good vaccine can never appear, like AIDS). Better treatments, yes, but when? I am not going to wait for that in order to live my life. Also, I want my kids to live in the same world I have lived in, with normal interactions with other people.
Hi, Shasta. Are you from Spain or are you just living here temporally?
I am Spanish (La Coruña), and I can confirm everything you say. Spain is a total mess, and we´re one bad season away from politicians creating a legal frame to make them compulsory forever, at least in winter, and people will love it. The rupture of reasoning, the fall of common sense is total due to 24/7 of media fearmongering, with the lowest level of scientific understanding or moral principles one can conceive.
I´ve never used them outdoors when they were conpulsory, in a country with a 100% compliance, so you can imagine how my life was for a year... I could write a book. People violently mad or totally scared. I´ve seen waves of people just dissapearing from my sidewalk like I was Jesus performing the Red Sea miracle, when they saw me maskless, girls jumping from the promenade to the sand, women crying, or hiding behind trees, scuffles with the police... Total hell.
Oh my, yes, total hell. Last December, we were in FL for vacation, you know the state with no mandates. We were birdwatching on a couple of OUTSIDE nature boardwalks and our adult son who is as non-compliant as I am and I were not 50 ft. in and people were screaming at us to put masks on. I told the "Karens" to move along and he just ignored them and kept walking. At another point, some old guy threateningly told him to put on one and he said "no" and kept walking. He said to me, "what was that geezer going to do, fight me? I'm 6'4" and 210 pounds!" At the next one, some guy in a wheelchair asked me to put one on and I said, "no, I'm outside, it's not necessary." This guy had had covid already and then basically wished it on me. This has revealed the authoritarian, maliciousness in people and I wish they'd look in the mirror and see the haters they have become, but all they can see is their virtue and self-righteousness.
Even now with no mandates, probably 50% of people are wearing face diapers which is why I hate going shopping. My gym seems to be the only place where I don't feel like I'm living in an outdoor insane asylum as soon as I walk out of my house.
Thank you for your the take on Florida. I honestly did not expect that 50% in a place that is, along with S. Dakota, Texas, or Sweden in Europe, the reference for us.
Good luck.
People will self punish. I see lone drivers in their own vehicle wearing a mask simply out of propagandized fear.
Spanish. I also left the mask before it became optional. My baby was showing a strange behavior in the street. He was a different baby at home. I think he thought that the street was a no-face place. So that was it for me. But I had no issues. Just once a girl got a bit scared.
Thank you for the reply.
The foremost thing is being able to get through a winter where they will manipulate (again) the cumulative incidence and death figures. If we can surf the media/medical/political madness these 4 months, maybe March will be different. Good luck to you:)
i am also an spaniard but in bcn. i used to be hooked to several news radio shows accross the political spectrum. i had to stop listening to them. the most frigtening thing wasn't even the ignorant comments of the journalists but regular people calling for more and harsher mandates.
many people on the street still wear masks. i overheard a conversation in the gym today, two guys in their early 40s, in shape. they were blaming people's behaviour from covid not going away. not a shadow of a doubt that perhaps it is this idiotic approach what's brought us here. it is the people's fault, despite the almost 90% vax rate and spain having had very strict lockdowns and masks mandates and how compliant and obedient all of us are -- my hat goes off to you purple man, i did not use a mask outdoors other tan early in the morning when there was just very few people out in order to avoid what you did endure.
mind you, we've been working out with masks for many months by now. only a few weeks ago did the catalan gov allow for not using a mask at the gym as long as you're working out by yourself. still, many people still wear it even when no one is close to them. exercising with a mask, another winner that surely does improve your health.
Hello, Agustina!
Yeah, exercising or living with a mask...What a great idea. How could human being not realize it before?
You know, it takes new words to express the astonishment for a sciencific class that, in one year, has agreed with (and pushed) the notion that the best social health strategy is interfering with the very basis of life and health itself (breathing), wearing a mask full of bacteriae and fungus all day, every day, destroying your dreams, your economy, shutting down culture and spirituality, having you locked up in your own house without receiving fresh air or sun... To say it is crazy is not enough:)
It is my understanding that there is an obvious technocratic movement that tries to make human interaction or interaction with the environment as uncomfortable as for us not desiring it anymore, so that we´d end up at home, having nothing in our real lives, and depending on virtual reality like junkies, where we´ll be gods.
I am a totally calm, stable person, but there were times when I understood the feeling of madness, of irreality, of being in a lucid dream. I particularly remember a Saturday, October/November 2020, when I walked downtown in La Coruña, which was as crowded as it could be, and people literally starting acting like Jack Nicholson in "As good as it gets", or "Mejor imposible", as we called in Spain. Do you remember the way he walked to avoid contact? There were nasty comments, yes, but especially families leaving the sidewalk in fear, old people stopping and protecting with their arms in front of their faces, etc. Hundreds of people and I could have walked swinging my arms and I would not touch anybody...I stopped and started laughing like a maniac, imitating them. I swear it felt unreal.
Regarding your other post, yes, this winter is going to be decissive. I lost all hope of a miracle. Official stats are so easily manipulable that no way they are going to dismantle a legal, argumentative, scientific, mediatic scaffolding that has been proved so succesful. Actually it´ll go worse, because, as I already told people in 2020, it serves for any other inoculated fear, especially flu and viral pneumonia. And that´s where we are now...
See you around, Agustina. Good luck and thanks for the comments:)
"The modern means of mass communication bring the entire world daily into each man's home; the techniques of propaganda and salesmanship have been refined and systematized; there is scarcely any hiding place from the constant visual and verbal assault on the mind. The pressures of daily life impel more and more people to seek an easy escape from responsibility and maturity."
From the book; The Rape of the Mind by Joost Meerloo.
Please do write a book. If humanity survives our current mass madness, future generations will find the record of your experiences valuable. Besides, I’d like to read about them.
Hello, TS. The doubt you express about Humanity maybe not surviving this madness is exactly what I was wondering about yesterday.
Hearing/watching/reading the scientific pundits (!) spreading the same unscientific crap in November 2021 than in March 2020, with arguments that already presume the indefinite character of these measures, made me realize precisely the possibility of Humanity not overcoming this trial, just not surviving such a tremendous amout of idiocy.
Besides, the new generations will only be prepared for a digital/virtual world, and will have no tools whatsoever to face real life shortenings or catastrophic events of any kind.
You know, every generation thinks it´s the chosen one to witness something extraordinary. Most of the times is not that way, but this time I am afraid it is. This might be it. And well, it´s been a good trip. Maybe it´s time for going back to Source.
So disheartening to here this. I walked the Camino a few years ago from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela & further to Finisterre. Absolutely the most incredible journey end to end and I had hoped to make my way back to Spain and buy property there in a few years. No doubt the whole pilgrimage opportunity/gift is no longer feasible. That's a tragic loss.
thank you, Laurie. Santiago de Compostela is a part of my province, and just 40 miles from my city.
I honestly don´t see things changing for the better, here or in any country. Conciliation is impossible, because no amount of scientific data or clever reasoning can compete with subconsciously tatooed fear. Besides, the younger generations are fascinated by the promises of mental/physical enhacement or even digital immortality, and they see wearing masks or not having freedom of movement as something totally normal or a small price to pay to join the transhuman army...
My take is there will be a partition of our species in people complying with that transhuman order (99% of our species) and 1 % who will manage to create some kind of retro-future in isolated communities. I might be wrong...
I have been wanting to take my teenagers to Spain and a few other countries in Western Europe but that dream has been put in a cryogenic chamber. I value our life and health much more than travel. Although I do worry that my 19 y.o. daughter may give in next year IF the vax mandates are not removed.
That's truly pathetic! Are they all that stupid?
Hello. The problem is not that all behave that weirdly (which, thank God, is not the case), but the unquestioned compliance of nearly every Spaniard, with a total 100% of the media living at the expense of creating fear. The result is people just accepting that "life" is this. It´s like life pre-2020 does not exist.
I was afraid at first, too, but hate masks, so I only wore it at stores where they handed them out (Walmart) and shopped at a store one town over, where they never asked to wear one. they won a good customer! Now it amazes me that, even though there has not been a mandate for quite some time, people still wear them. I really had to laugh out when I noticed a man in the middle of the woods with a mask on.
Hey now! It is not polite to laugh at the insane. Probably not safe either.
He did not see me LOL
learn from it, I'd say. we must all learn from it. these are the people we are condemned to live with. we are seeing the true nature of our compatriots. after this is over, if it ever is, they'll still be the same. don't ever be fooled again, don't ever again expect something different from them.
This is hte exact notion that frightens me. When I look around and see my own countrymen so utterly fooled and hopeless. It makes me feel like there's no hope. That the brainwashing and propaganda are too strong.
Multiple early treatment protocols: FLCCC.net and earlycovidcare.org are 2 examples.
Prophylactic protocols there too.
Good point. But, will they be available? In Spain I do not think you can get HCQ or Ivermectine. No doctor will prescribe that. The only way is get the jab.
Prophylactic protocols: years and years, just in case... No, thanks.
Early tratment if I get the illness: Yes! I have done my research (FLCCC+AAPS(McCullogh)+Zelenko). Being healthy and 50- you are done with Vit. C, Vit. D, Zinc Sulfate and Quercetine. I cannot access Zn nor Q...
i find 'indiamart' online puts us in touch with many suppliers and i have done two good transactions, got the right stuff at the right price and promptly. I get quotes from selected possible suppliers first and I must say that I've had quotes that are twice the price I'd have to pay domestically, retail for some things. So you can get there but exercise a little caution and discretion.
I had Covid in August and got low-dose ivermectin (stromectol) at the pharmacy with no prescription — but they didn’t make it easy because it was sold out almost everywhere!
got elemmental zinc and quercetin out of amazon es, btw. i thought i'll keep it around just in case.
i found a pharmacy in andorra that had ivm but i believe you did need a prescription. also, i am not sure you would receive the medication considering customs denied me the delivery of some plain make-up coming from the us only about 4 weeks ago.
Green Tea which contains ECGC will work as replacement for Quercetin.
Good, glad you knew that. You cannot get quercetin in Spain? Can you order from the USA or elsewhere? You can get ivermectin from India without a prescription, but you're right about doctors not prescribing it except through telemedicine here - FLCCC and AFLDS - America's Frontline Doctors. I don't do ivermectin prophylactic, just all the other supplements including quercetin and zinc.
Exactly. So many are so afraid of dying that they have stopped living. I am so sad and infuriated for my kids. The oldest has spent 1/4 of his life in the madness. They are so scared of covid that they keep asking when they can get the vaccine and wear there masks everywhere. At least I finally got them to stop yelling “Daddy, Daddy, Masku! Masku!”, every time we go on the train.
Shasta, I live in Spain too. At school, my kids have to wear a mask both indoors AND outdoors. My son’s friend is currently over for a play date at our house and won’t take his mask off. Impressive stamina.
I do not allow people to wear masks in my home. My sons fiance attempted to last fall and I said, "Young lady, if you are wearing that mask to protect yourself from us, you should leave until you are comfortable to be around us mask-free. If you are wearing it because you think you may make us sick you should not be leaving your house."
She removed it.
She is 23. They got married this fall. She definitely had covid last september. She got pregnant this spring. She vaxxed in july. She is an idiot without an independent thought in her head. She voted for brandon.
No thugs in my house.
Prayers that the baby is ok. But it might be years before they know what they’ve done. My oldest daughter, who is a speech path, is a mask nazi. Her 4 little boys wear them everywhere. We can’t even talk about it anymore. When they came to visit last spring I kept pulling the masks down and telling the boys, “you don’t have to wear them here”. Her husband is phd in medical research. And they got vaxxed as soon as it was available. And told me to quit sending propaganda when I forwarded Alex Berensons data. The most educated people I know with no common sense
I hope the baby is not harmed
I feel really really bad that you have to put up with that. No chick I marry will be having a mask on, that's for damn sure.
I'm so sorry, Amy! And I agree with Ivy.
Hi, Catmac. My condolences for being in Spain, as I am. You can see what I told Shasta.
Reading/watching every single day that masks are the best weapon against Covid, when there is no scientific basis whatsoever, and tons (I mean, TONS) of data telling otherwise (there is not a single infection line worldwide that shows the slightest variation before/after masking use) is driving me crazy:)
Yes, I agree. Studies, research showing they cause damage. But what's the use? 'They' don't want to look at reason. Simple as that. They are devoted to madness.
Masks are the perfect example.
For ALL masks have methods of use, place, time, purpose of use, procedures for use, etc...
NONE of that is ever applied to the ubiquitous covid face mask use we're surrounded by.
But not following all the prescribed procedures make ANY mask fairly useless from the word go: it is STIPULATED by the manufacturers, by the whole of mask theory: right mask, right time, right conditions, right protocols etc..
Nope.
No use trying to talk to them
It is not journalistic exaggeration, it is not flight of fancy, it is simple truth: we are living in times of insanity, we are living in a lunatic asylum amongst the willfully insane.
Hola Purple Man. I agree that Spaniards were easily fed the narrative: all the media had to do was threaten them with killing their beloved abuelos and they immediately complied. But unlike North America, it’s not virtue-signalling in Spain. Their unquestioning obedience is more likely a relic of the intergenerational trauma of franquismo. Spaniards of that heavy era learned to shut up and keep their heads down to stay alive because the ones who didn’t, didnt. So the survivors passed on their coping mechanisms to their children and grandchildren without ever telling anyone the reasons, the stories too painful and dangerous to tell. There is a lot of residual pain and frustration in the Spanish social consciousness, but I am very grateful to live here and feel it healing.
Sad, isn’t it? Scary too.
Shasta, I live in Southwest Michigan. There remain here a 50/50 mask donners. This time last year I was the only one not wearing one. It is not a law, just an "ask", you know, for the "common farce". Anyhow...
This question for you, as one who lives in Spain, is off-topic (and yet, not) but I am wondering if you have read the novel "The Cypress Believe in God" by Jose Gironella? It is about a middle class family living in Girona when the Spanish Civil War breaks out. It does a nice job of relating how different people are drawn into different "sides" (apparently, there were more than 2).
Hey Amy, I'm in SB, IN.
No, I have not! But I have heard that it is a good one!
I had a good friend that read and loved it. I even thought about reading it, but I totally forgot.
Good for you! Reminds me of the sign on the bathroom at a NWR in March (in FL!!) about it being federal property so face diapers were required. I couldn't have cared less. Let's go Brandon!
Only 50%, yes I want to go to Spain. Here in Japan it is near 100% mask usage outside. While many building you can not enter without the compliance rag, we have never had a mandate from any governmental body. They have just lifted the 4th Emergency declaration after our 5th wave passed yet masks everywhere. Went in to a local drugstore today maskless and no one said anything. Yet, everyone still wears them.
Let us wait until the winter waves comes to Spain (the weather is still nice yet cases are raising little by little). Then, 100%.
I heard this conversation the other day:
- Cases are raising.
- Yeah, because we do what we want!
So sad.
Cases keep going down here, yet everyone still masked. Well above 99% for almost 2 years now. Madness everywhere.
But, I have heard that masks are common in Japan, even before this shit.
Indeed they are, and we have flu every year just like everywhere else. Don’t buy they B.S. about them being effective against the flu.
The reasons for mask use include some which are somewhat amusing.
Would you say that it is a political statement for them?
Hard to say. I do not think so. I think it is just pure and utter fear.
I have to admit that the situation in Spain in March-April 2020 was awful, or at least that is/was our perception. Now, I doubt it, having watched what I have watched from the bloody mass media.
Italy was in our headlines at that time here in the US. I enjoy hearing people's experiences from all over the world in these comments. I used to travel a lot but I've only left Texas to pop into Oklahoma for a couple days in the last 2 years. I doubt my children will ever be able to travel like I did. But they might live in "interesting times"
Italy was a little bit ahead of us in time. And apparently the situation was even worse than here. I also used to travel, now I am dangerous ;) and cannot enter the US, for instance.
Anyhow, I can enjoy short trips, no special necessity to travel. I am sorry for the kids, but on the other hand the generation before mine did not travel much abroad, perhaps only the honey moon or even nothing.
Eh!?!?? Might?
I agree with you. I RARELY get into a mask conversation/argument with folks, but if I do, it always wanders off into a political statement. WTF. I even saw a bumper sticker that says BE A GOOD DEMOCRAT/SOCIALIST - WEAR A MASK. Not sure if it was sarcasm, I couldn’t see the driver.
Maybe to shut them up? Sounds good!
LOL also so so sad
Well, at least they know the Democrat and Socialist are the same.
Same sh*t happening in Puerto Rico. But the prize goes to Oregon schools where little kids are forced to wear masks while playing during recess - outdoors & in the rain!! I kid you not.
Same here in Japan. My kids wear their masks 10 hours a day.
Not so fast my friend!! Same here! Kids playing with masks in the outside. Compulsory.
Masks outside are the absolute abomination... I'm in doom central Canada but barely anyone wear them outside. It's quite rare. They might keep it on for a longer time once they get out of a store in fall, winter, mainly because it's freezing outside. In a warmer country, keeping your mask, cannot understand.
I wish everyone could experience the great state of Texas. We aren’t perfect - far from it - but we have been able to walk around mask-less, indoors and outdoors, for over a year now. I live in the most liberal part of Houston, and even here where we have the knucklehead leftist Sheila Jackson Lee representing us, it’s extremely rare to see anyone wearing an obedience diaper outside (or even inside, for that matter). It’s an illness that turns people into 🐑 (sheeple).
NYC is back to most people wearing it outside too
You could be in California. Seems about the same
someone in spain also wondering whether everyone here's gone mental. finally! i was starting to feel i was the only one. there is hope.
Stupidity knows no bounds...
I thought the same of Melbourne back in November. But as soon as they were not required to wear them they came off. Now back on of course. Same problems as Spain has no doubt, wearing a mask in 34ºC or 38ºC is no fun at all.
Last November.
And we must never forget, "my diaper doesn't work unless you have your filthy, full diaper on as well..." Utter madness
Thank you! That'll be rattling around my head for several hours. I needed THAT.
very inspirational
The beatings will continue until morale improves…
Thank you sir! May I have another?
Lol never mind the fact that masks don't prevent the spread of viruses and were never designed to. It's astounding to me how normalized this behavior has become. It's actually terrifying. People just waltz around with them on as if it's routine. Like putting your shoes and socks on in the morning. COVER THAT SNOUT!
People who wear them 24/7 blindly complying with ridiculous mandates are weak-minded, ignorant to actual science, and frankly, idiotic. So, when is it okay to take them off? When daddy government tells you that you can? I severely underestimated the collective IQ of the average individual. As in, it's really, REALLY low.
There are countless studies about mask efficacy and it all points to them being wildly ineffective to a downright complete waste of time. Heck, it's common sense. How exactly is a medical mask going to stop a nanoscopic particle? It's not. Ever. This is all about fear and tricking people into thinking they too can be immortal if they'd just. mask. up. In your heart of hearts, deep down in the pit of your soul, you'd have to think that surely one must adhere to logic and common sense, right? Nope. MASK UP! In fact, double up!! That'll surely stop the spread.
Have people once stopped and thought that "Hey, we've been complying and wearing these face diapers for almost 2 years now and they haven't done a single f'ing thing?" Nope, more virtue signaling. Heck, even some of the workers in stores I've talked to know it's bullsh*t.
And don't even get me started on vaccines.
After a number of IQ tests over my 65 years of life I am consistently in the the top 4% of the population. I used to be quite proud of this as I am not academic. However, I now realise with much of the population apparently having an IQ of about 10 my top 4% isn't perhaps all that good.
I think laziness and making unfounded assumptions is a large part of the problem.
Yep! Sometimes I get full of myself thinking how smart I am, then I remember I'm comparing myself to other humans. ;)
My husband was diagnosed with eye cancer, and died after two awful years of monthly chemo treatments in a Philadelphia hospital. I sat there as he was rolled out of the operating room. NEVER ONCE did a hospital employee wear a mask outside of that procedure room. NEVER ONCE did a hospital employee wear one in his recovery room or his bedroom. But I’m sure they all do now…..
That's the other piece to it; people make these bizarre connections and idiotic "procedures" that make absolutely no sense at all. A popular one is to put a mask on when you enter a restaurant, but then take it off when you sit down. As if COVID's taking a Lil break while you eat. Lmao.
Yep, and for absolutely no medical nor scientific reason. They are sheeple just like the rest.
Yes, terrifying. Masks are not benign. they are bacteria incubators. Like putting a Petri dish on your face to breath through. Yet people will argue “It’s all about reduction, dummy!”. Yes it may reduce the virus in and out but not enough to matter and can even increase your chances of not just getting sick but catching Covid. Numskulls.
I read a great article from the Federalist talking about how it taps into people's fear of dying, but also this weird notion of "safety" and all this other garbage. https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/29/new-york-governor-confirms-covidianism-is-a-pagan-cult/
Think about how many times you're out and about and someone's like "Be safe!" It's like another weird, subtle form of virtue signaling. Be safe. I mean, really? There are things you can do to minimize risk, sure. Like, don't pull out into oncoming traffic, be alert at all times, don't bang a prostitute, carry a gun if you want (you get the idea). But people die literally every day for thousands of different reasons. You can't stop death from happening to you. When it's your time to die, that's it. You're done.
COVID is just another to add to the list, but the kicker is that your chances of dying from it are way lower than say, heart disease, or cancer, or pick any of the societal health issues we have. If people, instead of trying to put a band-aid on a broken leg, took personal responsibility for their health and well-being, there would be way less disease across the board. I know some folks who haven't gotten the flu in over 10 years (and I haven't gotten it in 5+) and this just in, it's NOT because they/I went and got a f'ing vaccine, or put a fishnet over their mouth. Sheesh. As if that's the solution to all of life's problems.
No, the reason is that they respect their bodies and make every effort to provide them with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that it REQUIRES to function correctly. This is not f'ing rocket science. Because the irony is that they're now all of a sudden professing to somehow "care about health and safety" even though they've proven OVER and OVER by their actions that health was NEVER a priority. Ever.
Just look at the never-ending fast food lines for proof of that. Or people who still smoke cigarettes even though it's literally 2021. The list goes on and on. People LOVE to abuse themselves and overindulge to the point where they're begging for a quick fix.
Never mind the fact that your natural immunity is much stronger than a vaccine over the long term. I'm going to stop now. I seriously sometimes want to bang my head against a wall.
Even if I'm completely wrong about all of this, it's STILL MY personal choice whether or not I put a mask on or get a vaccine. I make that decision, not some bureaucrat. And if it's not a choice anymore, then this is not America anymore. It's something completely different.
This Covid pandemic is accompanied by a hidden mind degeneration pandemic, affecting feeble minds like Dr Landon's.
Not only do they spout nonsense, they sprawled a whole army of fact checkers, who outright lie while pretending to "give facts", givin gcover for censorship.
I higlight last week's vacine failure report in the UK and I expose one of the fact checkers trying to suppress UKHSA data.
https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/uk-death-protection-accelerates-downward
No one should be surprised to find that most of the so called "fact "checkers" are millennial "Karens" with a degree in journalism, education, women's studies, etc. who just want to "make a difference" while they are "giving back."
Cor, that link lead me down a real rabbit hole of self-appointed and unaccountable "face checkers" bullying official Government agencies into adjusting their numbers to suit the narrative.
Same as "it's voluntary but if people don't comply we'll have to coerce them into taking it" for the "vaccine".
You know what kind of regime you live in when everybody has to pretend that complete gibberish makes sense?
I live in Salem Oregon. Walking distance from Governor Kate Brown’s mansion and I never wear a mask anywhere in any establishment. No one gives me a second look or even mentions a word to me about being maskless. I’m done with this bullshit and I will never comply! Also I will never ever be injected with this abomination!!!
Bravo!! I live in Oregon City. I must admit that I'm already considering other states in case another Democrat wins the governor seat. It would be great if we could lose the supermajority of Democrats.
I agree! A red state is looking better with each passing day
I am beginning to understand those who go off and attack anyone who tells them to don a mask.
Madness.
It's sort of perversely true. Once we admit that we are slaves who must do whatever the 'leaders' say, including muzzling ourselves on command, the elites will know they have won.
Masks and booster shots forever. I cannot believe this is an effect of incompetence. This must hide something else...
I agree. Months ago I told my vax happy daughter who works in a hospital to get ready for job 2-3 times per year. She freaked, and said NO WAY. Now, she’s getting ready for her first booster and acknowledges she’ll be getting many more. Hate to say I Told Ya So…….
No doubt! They will get 10, 20, 100! The sky is the limit!!!! I am sorry that your daughter is into it...
I am starting to find it funny:
- I will not take a jab developed in some months!
- 2 shots
- I will not take a booster, does not make sense!
- Booster shot
- Never again!
- BAM
- No more please!
- Lockdown
- But I am vaxxed!!!
- Not enough! Booster shot!
- Am I free now?
- Masks 24/7, no matter where you are.
But mandates, coercion, lockdowns only for unvaxxed and the like are ruining the fun...
Said the little foot soldier for the authoritarians...
A bit off topic...This morning I heard a physician advising that he understood how parents could be concerned about vaccinating children what with the sample size being small but the good news is that 1MM have been vaccinated and there are no reported adverse effects. He then went on to say that he could see waiting to see what happens around Thanksgiving when the second dose is given as there is some concern about the second dose. I can't help but wonder if parents were asked to sign a release or an acknowledgement of being in a live clinical trial with no recourse to the maker. This is absurd.
Thus why I've never worn one. Once. Survived social scrutiny - no problem. Get tough people, this ain't going away on its own. Stop complying, it's really not that hard.
This is why I moved from Chicago in June 2020.
What's the problem? Our leadership has been very clear with their guidance ushering us plebes through these scary times;

10/30/2021 Florida has the lowest COVID-19 case rate in the country. They did it without vaccine mandates, without mask mandates in school and with no restrictions on businesses.

May; CDC director says mask turnaround based solely on science https://www.clickondetroit.com/health/2021/05/16/cdc-director-defends-decision-to-ditch-masks/
“I’m delivering the science as the science is delivered to the medical journals. And it evolved," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said on FOX News Sunday. “I deliver it as soon as I can when we have that information available.”
"Under the new guidelines released last week, fully vaccinated people — those who are two weeks past their final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine — can quit wearing masks outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings and give up social distancing."
July 27, 2021; Reporter: “You said if you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask.”
Biden: “No I didn’t say that.”
Ummm.....

Hmm. Sounds like an incredibly brilliant thinker ... or, more probably not.
A dystopia for freedom loving critical thinkers but a veritable utopia for hall monitors now running amok!
Tell fat boy Pritzker to do 1 pullup
No problem for him at all. With his bulk, the bar will pull out of its mountings allowing to him to do pull-ups easier than any athlete.
Gatito has no reason to be fearful of what some of the more enlightened humans call the Mask Paradox. It's completely illogical but we just need to follow along and don't ask questions.
We are all forced to wear masks in my blue state. Hate/detest it. Hardly ever go in public anymore because I just can't stand to wear them. Feel like I can't breathe. They don't work but our imbecile governor thinks he's king; all the dumb Dems who run this one-party state (and sit on our state's supreme court) have all drank the same Koolaid. Can't wait to move!
WTF? That is all I can say. I asked at my kids private school, what is the plan to descale mask regulations, walk back, etc. They said there isn't one.
This is another example of the half-assery that Americans now accept in their lives... which has to stop. I recall a past life where this statement would have been ridiculed to the point that the 'professional' uttering it would have thought twice before gifting us with their profound vision.
We've entered a phase of reduced expectations in society. Have fun with this in Engineering... "the time when we're going to not have to worry about bridges collapsing and planes dropping from the sky is going to be around the time when we just accept that sometimes, they do."
Pro tip: no, they really don't. We have the ability and technology to keep them up. We're losing the will to demand it.
No no, this won't do at all. Come out from under the couch and blow this guy up.
Well, Gov Pritzker can f off and get an education. Keep his mask fetish for the bedroom.
Fifty Shades of Inanity. What a bestseller that could be!
Emma Woodhouse on Twitter loves to put the screws to Drs. Landon, Arwady, and Ezike here in Shitcago, Hellinois.
emma is a longstanding gatopal™ and a smart lady.
i like her work (and her spirit).
Can't believe they still allow her on Twitter! Wish she was on Substack
I know right? She DOES have a Substack but she doesn't use it much. Yesterday, Emma posted about recent suicides among middle and high schoolers in the area. 😢
Propoganda appears to have been very effective across the world. Ah, but Africa! Africa...lowest vaxx rates and lowest deaths...why? No vaxx, healthy weight, few metabolic disease, cross immunity?, herd immunity, ivermectin?, no masks or social distancing, lots of vitamin D,...yet we are told virus disproportionate ly affects dark skinned people..
Guess it depends on so many other factors
Shh! Can’t say that! Too close to the truth, that.
Yup, it ain't rocket science. It's terrifying how many people in this country get spoonfed outright lies and then ask for seconds.
No truth. Just talk, talk, talk and while we talk the madmen make it worse.
Here's some truth:
The Virus isn't so bad. We are Human Beings. We MUST live with viruses and we can and DO.
All the Govt measures have made the whole thing MUCH, MUCH worse.
And here's some more:
Don't talk about the Vaccines: talk about the IMMUNE system.
All the vaccines in the world will not kill a single virus particle.
Got it? No Vaccine EVER killed a single virus particle.
None. Never. Ever.
Your IMMUNE system does it.
Vaccines PRETEND to be an enemy so that your IMMUNE system will start fighting NOW.
That's all.
You must know that and think that way so that you can get it straight:
The IMMUNE system is what it is all about.
So HELP your IMMUNE system.
Give your IMMUNE system strength.
Don't prod it into action with a DIRTY stick that brings its own evil.
Don't keep prodding and prodding and prodding....
If you will LOOK at your IMMUNE system you'll see what it needs and can use to help itself fight.
Like: Vitamin D, sunshine, Zinc, friends, happiness, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, NAC, quercetin, optimism, health, energy, company of friends, love, feeling of empowerment, free breathing and many more: ALL the things your GOVT PROHIBITS.
YOU and your IMMUNE system will protect your health.
NOT your govt and a vaccine. NO.
Stop kicking the crap out your IMMUNE system with a dirty boot and HELP it.
Yet you tell people about your natural immunity (which by the way is stronger than any vaccine over the long term) and they look at you like you have 2 heads.
The only place I ever wear one is at the doctors office because it is impossible to find another who is not wearing one also. Which really irks me since of all people they should know better since they’ve gone to MEDICAL school where I assume they still teach about the nature of virus. I do walk in without one and when they ask me if I have a mask I reply that I don’t own one. They reluctantly have to provide me one. I always wondered how intelligent people feel for nazi propaganda. I know have my answer.
Fell not feel.
not i said the chica malo
Also gonna wear masks when chain link fences provide protection from mosquitos.
Am I the only one who wants to drop the f bomb on a minute by minute basis?
If masks did what Landon thinks they do, then they would be treated as biohazardous material and you'd see little red canisters on every street corner and in every establishment everywhere.
Masks not required where I live here in the South but many people still wear them out of fear.
The kicker will be: Will Biden's OSHA rule survive court challenge? If it does, the plan is to mask the unvaccinated forever.
And we will stop dying once we’re dead.
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative.
Where do they find the stupidest people to be official spokesmen? As Moe Howard of the Three Stooges clearly stated, “Who Said You Need Brains To Be A Plumber”.
Actually seems entirely accurate. It's all about compliance, not science.
The beatings will continue until your attitude changes…
Pfaucisms are alive and well.
WTF does that MEAN even? holy hellinoise!
I don’t worry about wearing masks.
Huh?
The ink on Dr Landon's Certificate of Compliance is still drying...please don't read it too carefully...he's not a very good speller.
“The beatings will continue
until morale is up.”
Boss
Never wearing a mask ever.
Seen elsewhere, something I wish I had seen or thought of 18 months ago:
"Wearing a mask to reduce viral load is similar to getting shot in the head with 2 bullets instead of 10, will I be 80% less dead?"
USA Southern Red state… rarely see a mask anywhere. You know they don’t work, right?
that just hurts my head!
This template construction is pretty meaningless and the proof is by substitution of basically anything negative about lefty civilization the modern psyche notices and see how it holds up. "I think honestly for most people the time when we're going to not have to worry about [inserted concern] anymore is going to be around about the time when they just accept that sometimes they have to [tolerate inserted concern]." Take it out for a spin: try "gas prices," or "prosecutorial misconduct," or "racial violence," or "corrupt institutions," or "deceptive media," or "terrorist teachers," or "hyperinflation," or "Chinese bioweapons," or "election fraud," or .....I could go on. Now try it with anything vaguely right and see how socially acceptable it becomes to Tw***er mobs. Try "Trump re-election," or "tax cuts," or "parental control," or "election integrity," or "Chinese scientist deportations," or "DeSantis policies," etc. It doesn't. :)
mmm ... No.
