Makes me think of the famous Solzhenitsyn quote: "the most accessible key to our liberation: a personal nonparticipation in lies! Even if all is covered by lies, even if all is under their rule, let us resist in the smallest way: Let their rule hold not through me!"....."Never knowingly support lies."
This was part of my reply to those who insisted masking was the Christian and loving thing to do for your fearful neighbors. No, supporting them in their life of delusion is not loving.
That's a good way to put it. I was sadly disappointed that so many churches jumped on the bandwagon.. Encouraged the jabs, sit or stand 6 ft apart, always keep the masks on, no hugging--only fist bumps, etc..
They also repeat the mantra; "We need to do this to protect ourselves and each other-and our neighbors."
Yes, they are the "Green Grocer's Sign" (Vaclav Havel) of our era. Also, in implying agreement with the lies, they are a form of "coerced expression," a concept that matters in American First Amendment jurisprudence.
If no one has done it yet, it’s not going to happen. Here’s an idea: Every single person STOP COMPLYING! These people that wear masks are literal idiots.
I agree Renee!! I’m a FL girl, but spend summers in Western NY. I never wore a mask in the NY grocery store, but did get verbally abused for walking the wrong way down the aisle. I got thrown out of REI for mask around my neck, trick didn’t work, so the manager physically moved me out the door and offered to let me shop from “a distance” - outside in the cold. (FU). I wore a mask in the doc’s waiting room, I was forced. But my dermatologist, OBGYN, GP, dentist and ortho docs NEVER said a word when I was maskless in the exam rooms. I was lucky.
GOOD! You’re a fighter like me. No stranger has a right to take your rights away-EVER! Most people are sheep…they’d be the first on the trains to their death.
I had the same experience in WNY. I dodged the masks as long as I could, but I finally submitted once a policeman at the supermarket entrance demanded mask up or leave. Since I didn't care to make his job harder, I put on a mask. Not saying I'm proud of it.
And the officer was wrong. There is no law stating you have to wear a mask. If anything, a mask is a medical device…he was violating your rights under the law. But, I understand.
He would have relied on trespassing laws. Once the store owner or his agent (in this case the police officer) asks me to leave, for any reason, I have to leave or I'm guilty of trespassing.
Germans are still very lucky ,Lauterbach has not so far mandated the wearing of condoms 24/7 .for every man or boy.For females the mask could be worn top and bottom if he so mandates .That he did not do so ,so far, proves he does not love the Germans enough .
Unless.. you factor in the emerging phenomenon of vax "shedding" hurting the un-vaxxed. I've met several purebloods wearing masks in US supermarkets I had friendly chats with who told me they were until recently anti-maskers but couldn't be around the recently vaccinated without horrible side effects. I don't know the mechanism, but it's real.
Yes the pores are a big problem ,it's where the shedding comes from .Therefore in Germany of course ,at the entrance of restaurants ,powerful shakers are being installed to shake every useless eater before entry .The yrusses fall through a screen to be collected for delivery back to Pfizer for more venom making .The Germans have always been the thinkers and shakers ,right ?? Lauterbach??
I said the same to them. One, who had a background in medical research told me he understands but theres mounting evidence the spoteins bind to larger particles (unlike the virus) that the masks ARE able to not eliminate but reduce. Two of these folks also wore amulet sized negative inonizers around their necks based on excellent studies by Sharp Corp showing negative ion charges bind with air particles these spoteins bind to making them fall out of the air.
We got Fake Masks. I don’t wear masks. With that being said, I recently had to have cancer removed from my body. It was either wear the mask or have cancer. Cost vs. Benefit-lol! It’s absolutely insane. I got in arguments all the time not wearing a mask in stores and I wasn’t allowed to buy ONE item at Safeway…and this was just a few months ago! I’ll NEVER go there again. All of this is illegal. No man gets to take your freedom away-EVER!
And Ingrid, people have more power than they realize! Truly! I always have relied on the protection of God and His angels. Psalm 91. The power is real!
I am considering creating a mask which would hook on to the front of my face but not touch the mouth. It will be made of rare metals and precious and semiprecious gemstones and will duplicate the sacred Breastplate of Aaron. I'd like to see them tell me I have to take it off in favor of a face diaper.
How Glorious would that day be if the vaccinated were suddenly told to mask up in order to protect purebloods from their vaccinated shedding and blasting sick snot? I'm gonna go back and capitalize the word Glorious!
that is what I think too. If they don't help against the virus how are they going to help against particles of the virus ? And second, I hate masks. If we get it, we get it. It is that simple.
Shedding of virions is dealt with by your immune system the same way all pathogens get treated. The spike exosomes are likely everywhere by now, given the number of transfections by injection. It can’t really be avoided. Having a healthy immune system is the key. Some people experiencing ill effects may have some sort of dysfunction or sensitivity, that can’t be denied. But I don’t think it makes sense to live in fear of something so ubiquitous.
There hasn’t been a lot of rigorous scientific study on shedding. Theoretically, exosomes can be shed by any tissue. The Pfizer study seemed to highlight physical contact, but shedding could occur through respiration, feces, body fluids, etc.
The masks don’t work for respiratory viruses--there’s no reason to believe they would work for shedding.
I work in a (except me and a guy in the shop) fully vaxxed place. When I started working there, I got terrible leg pains and some headaches. I treated this with horse paste, NAC, nattokinase and star anise. About 2 weeks ago now I hugged a coworker to comfort her. I had a resurgence of all those symptoms plus the recurrance of a viral illness that hasn't bothered me in a decade.
Lesson learned. I can only hug the unvaxxed these days. That will make 'dating' interesting.
Yes I agree, there is definitely something going on. My daughter has experienced this.
The times it affected her was when she was indoors around a large group of vaccinated people--and someone had recently gotten a shot. It is very strange, but apparently Pfizer and Moderna knew about it from the beginning...
I'm not buying into the shedding thing. An injection bypasses so many of the natural defenses of the human body, but any 'shed' viral particles would have to run a deadly gantlet of bacteria, fungi, and parasites on and inside the skin and tissues which is the product of a billion years of animal evolution.
The likely major shedding pathway isn’t through skin or GI tract—it’s more likely through the 130 sq meters of mucosa in our lungs and respiratory pathways. Pfizer’s study flagged skin contact with jabbed subjects for pregnant women, so there was already a recognized concern from them, even if it wasn’t reported (revealed through FOIA dump, if I recall).
Regardless of the vector, a healthy immune system knows what to do.
You confuse him with brother of chencellor Scholz. But Lauterbachs ex wife sais he is incapable of reading and understanding scientific literature, a fact which is obvious
Europe is facing default which is the driving impetus of the #GreatReset (along with all it's other bells and whistles) and the US is OK for now but faces the same likely fate in a few years. Klaus is popular/powerful because he's been able to combine wienerschnitzel with manure and make it taste great. His "reset" gives politicians a way to default on all debt, remove some of your's too so we're "all in this together", blame the whole thing on a virusclimatecatastophe and RETAIN POWER instead of having their heads chopped off.
If you follow Edward Dowd on GETTR - a former very successful investment guy -- the whole shamdemic has been to cover for the global debt bubble crash (not his exact words... but the gist)
Oh, I know, but the same characters who seek to extract every last erg of cooperation (the basis of fiat capitalism) from us "useless eaters" are (likely, largely) the same people who populate Ghislaine Maxwell's list.
As a German, I'd answer to that question in following non-PC-manner: there's a reason certain awful things happened about 80-100 years ago. Germans love to follow rules. They need rules, they're lost without a system which tells them what to do. It's pathetic really, but it's reality.
And even if you're not like that, you just can't evade it either, because the powers that be go after the livelihood of businesses: they are the ones that get fined for customers not wearing masks.
As an anti-masker all this time, I kept wearing a mask in small businesses and super markets and such. Not because I wanted to, but because I do not want others to get punished for my behaviour, however right it might be. This is the true insidious nature of the technocrat fascists, tbh.
Welcome to my world. I can't make eye contact with someone in a mask. If I encounter someone in a mask-voluntary place with one on, I cannot help but look at them with utter disgust and revulsion, and lately outright hostility. When I see adult parents - unmasked - walking with their masked kids, it is no different than seeing them whipped with a belt in my eyes.
Day in and day out, I see people who I once mistook as rational human beings, put their mask on, then take it off when they sit down for a while, then put it back on, then pull it under their nose, then remove it again, and on and on. They could be sticking needles in their eyes, it would make more sense.
Countless casual acquaintances I no longer bother to say hello to. When I do the usual dad-at-kids-party stuff, I more or less stand on my own, or with other minorities like myself who feel so unbelievably alone in this sea of insanity
I have said it before, and i'll say it again - I will never be the same.
Yep. I find myself outright laughing at these idiot maskers now. They wear the paper mask while in line and then remove it once they’ve gotten on the train. With all the same people. Then they remove it to eat food. For an hour. Then put the dirty mask back on to walk to the toilet. Then touch it with bathroom hands. Then pull it down to sneeze. Then up for awhile. Then they pull it down to talk to someone. Do they think the mask is a DETERRENT? Like Dirty Harry’s .357? Like the virus SEES the masks and thinks, “Oh, I’d better stay back, that guy could put that mask on any minute.” What the hell do they think the mask does? I just want to start screaming “IF THERE WAS REALLY A DEADLY VIRUS YOU WOULD BE DEAD ALREADY!”
Joe: Have you heard the latest term for the (likely) vax caused traffic collisions? "Vaxidents." I've had a few people suddenly try to make a left hand turn at a controlled intesection--Right in front of me. WTHeck?? What happened to good judgement? It was out of the ordinary for me--beyond the usual stupid--in all my decades of driving. I pondered this--And then read that traffic "acccidents" were up about ten percent over the statistical rate. The article mentiond "vaxidents." Perhaps the fools who tried to T-bone me were all triple injected. Be aware; drive even more defensively. Never mind the few drivers who are alcohol impaired. The vaxed are orders of magnitude more prevalent on the road. I read one anecdote about a triple injected man eho left home for work--Without his pants. Supposedly a true acccount. I believe it. This mRNA toxin has a "shipload" of dangerous side effects.
Just the fact ,that lining up for shots with unknown outcomes without a gun to ones head is a sign of insanity .There is also evidence that the injections change the injected to be less human and more robotic ,a permanent condition .
Seen more than a few of these in my locality. It used to be a once every year kinda thing, but it has become weekly.
Expecting the guy with a mask on passing you to suddenly die of a heart attack while gunning his mustang really puts some teeth into the concept of defensive driving.
I've also seen scenes where drivers obviously pulled over and called emergency services, or when drivers, looking very ill, were switching seats with passengers. I hope all these people are all right, but in 40 years of driving, I've never seen this happen, and so much of it at once. People usually do that kind of pull over in parking lots. That so many are just pulling off the side of the road means this comes on fast and is of such severity one cannot make it to the Mc Donald's a quarter of a mile down the road.
Not meaning to be judgmental. But I've always suspected that some of the folks who caught covid were given doses of it from the other vaccines. Just heard about a man this week who died 9 days after taking the monkey vaccine.
I think the medicines are contributing to the insanity of some people too. I don't remember the name of the web site and it may be long gone in this censored era. This web site (around 2008) had listed several people who reported taken some type of psychotropic drug. Every person listed on that web site had either committed suicide, killed at least one family member, or went on a mass shooting spree..
You can simply smoke less of the good stuff. It is indeed very strong nowadays so I simply smoke less than half the amount. Kids will likely do the same
I just remembered a quote I heard in recent years. This quote was attributed to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie." Hearing and seeing lots of things in the US and other countries that seem to mirror Nazi Germany. No disrespect to the good people living in Germany now or during WW2. It just seems to me that the evils and the atrocities of the past are merging with newer versions in the 21st century.
I am irrevocably changed, and I am not sure it is for the better—surely this animosity I feel is bad for me. I am reminded of a quote from a book that Eugyppius is forbidden by law from reading: "gradually I came to hate them."
It is sobering to reflect on this murderous hatred in my own heart, that I did not ask to feel.
The passage preceding the quoted sentence is quite crucial:
"The more I argued with them, the better I came to know their dialectic. First they counted on the stupidity of their adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, they themselves simply played stupid. If all this didn't help, they pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, they changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, they immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about. Whenever you tried to attack one of these apostles, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck one of these fellows so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, he couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day."
If this doesn't describe US and EU liberals 100%, I don't know what does.
Yes, before this is all over, more and more people are going to understand that book, and see a lot more things through new eyes. Even the most forbidden of things.
"Day in and day out, I see people who I once mistook as rational human beings, put their mask on, then take it off when they sit down for a while, then put it back on, then pull it under their nose, then remove it again, and on and on. They could be sticking needles in their eyes, it would make more sense." Welcome to my world!
I've got friends who are afraid I'm going to infect them with the covid bug I haven't had to date. But they're not afraid to have mercury, a synthetic spike protein or whatever injected into their bloodstream. So it's safer for my health to stay away from them. I missed a wedding earlier this year, because it was mandatory for everyone to be covid jabbed to attend. I was am still willing to pass on that genocide shot. All of them.
I held my ground with my family and acquaintances, and now consider myself the victor. I'm a magnanimous victor, but still enjoy ruffling their feathers now and then.
I shied away from someone who really wanted my friendship when I read her little treatise on Facebook about how to show warmth and friendliness whilst wearing a mask. She advocated practicing your smiling, twinkling eyes in the bathroom mirror, FFS. Barking mad.
About the kids: are they perhaps forced to wear masks at school, and have become so habituated that they demand to wear them everywhere? 'Coz it seems really, really odd that a parent would go around maskless, but mask the child.
As I entered the stadium I refused the offered mask. My companion asked, “Why don’t you use the mask?” “Because”, I said,”I know the difference between a micron and a nanometer”.
I wrote a few articles on the harder-to-articulate but nevertheless profound harms of masking, it's hard for most people to articulate subtle psychological dynamics even if they are devastating to them.
Brownstone published a couple of them, hopefully will publish the third too:
The Experience of Forced Masking from a Child's Perspective
Facemasks Are Not an 'Inconvenience', Facemasks Are Not Trivial: A List of Some of the Underappreciated and Hard-to-Articulate Reasons Forced Masking is so Distressing
I completely agree with you that forced masking of children is by far the worse use of the damned things. Seeing kids walking home from school wearing masks angers me more than just about any of the other insane things that have happened in the last 2.5 years. I wonder if the damage we're doing to kids' psychological and physical development can be ever be undone; I sure hope so, but I suspect it may take a very long time.
I have a 15 year old niece who developed an eating disorder during the time of…guess what….masking. She has now been dealing with it for over a year. Made progress and now it’s rearing it’s ugly head again. I will never get over what this has done to children. Never….
I think the 2 are linked. I have been blown away by the number of noticably anorexic girls and women I see who are still masking. The fact they are one of the few demographics still doing it here, along with sexually confused men, old women with illnesses and the 'woke' just makes it all the more apparent.
I hope your niece comes through all right. Getting kids into an environment where they are cut off from social media and are sucked into living seems to be the best advice anyone has.
Here in New Zealand the government yesterday lifted all mask mandates (for now?) except for health care and aged care settings. I find it impossible to believe that they actually think they actually work, so the retention of mask mandates for those settings is just so that they don't have to ADMIT that they don't work. The brainwashed public think they do, so politically it is acceptable for them to be retained for "vulnerable" situations. Sigh. Anyway, I have written endlessly to government ministers responsible for making these decisions, plus other relevant parties who subscribe to the notion that mask mandates (or indeed masks) work with respect to mitigating the spread of an aerosolised nanoparticle. The response is always the same; either no response or one full of misinformation and platitudes. The latest was from our Minister for Covid-19 Response (yes, it's an actual title) which included the following studies https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.28.22278153v1.full.pdf and https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818. I find neither of them convincing evidence to support the wholesale masking of an entire population including children from age 10 and up at school. I don't expect that these were the only studies looked at, but one would have thought that it would be the strongest that would be included as references to support the policies I was questioning. If these are the best she can do then that is concerning. I will continue to battle on this matter until they admit they were wrong. This means I will be battling until the Ice Age comes to Hell.
Yesterday, the first day NZ was "allowed" to drop masking (I had been flouting this rule anyway), I was utterly revolted to see parents at our kindy still masking when picking their kids up, and children masked at our little local library after school - so revolted, in fact, that I wanted to grab my children and run away from them. A physical revulsion. A sneer I fought to keep off my face. Disgust I felt was emanating from me, it was so strong. Great pity for the children. It wasn't a day of liberation because I'd "liberated" myself from the mandates some time ago, but I now realize that many here weren't just compliant but terrified. They haven't done any research.
I can totally empathise with how you felt re the kindy pick up masking etc etc. It beggars belief. I am getting to the point where I will actually say something in these sorts of situations. They need to be jolted out of this insanity. I went on a "field trip" into town yesterday to see how different things would be now that Dear Leader had given her subjects "permission" to go maskless. At the local mall approximately 95% were maskless. The vast majority still covered were YOUNG! In their 20s. Most of the "oldies" were obviously done with it all. I wasn't sure which was worse - seeing the majority still "doing as they were told" by ditching their masks, or seeing some were so brainwashed they were still masking. Also, because I didn't want to be lumped into the "maskless-because-we-are-now-allowed-to-be" camp I felt like I needed to wear a badge which says "I never wore a mask anyway" :)
I'll never regret homeschooling our kids, esp when 2020 rolled on in. Nowadays public schooling is child abuse. Our kids regard the masked as insane or deceived :)
Remember we have an election coming up. Joe Public are voting with their increasing resistance so time to change policies. Overton window at work.. Health lady actually admitted the jabs don't stop the spread .
Thank you so much for these links. Just finished your Substack on masks. Superb.
I had the most visceral, immediate reaction to that demented loser, Charlie "Parker" Baker, the general manager of MA, when he issued his mask "mandate". At the time, we had a small house in far northern NH and I told my husband, "We're outta here! I will not cooperate with this! EVER!"
I did read the Experience of forced masking from a child's perspective . All people planing to be parents should read it .I did not have to read it to understand what it must mean for a helpless child to be musseld like a dog .
You know what, I suspect they just get used to it. And that may be the worst part of it. Kinda like just getting used to never running around, or never playing with other kids, etc. The poor kids just get used to it and grow up damaged without even realizing it.
It's been coming on for a few years now. Kids have been allowed shorter and shorter chains to the point parents take for models the 'helicopter parent' or 'tiger mom' that leave no free time for imagination or exploration. Kids need to roam. It's how they learn.
A couple years ago when masks were required wear I lived, I got various scary skull masks as a silent protest. I’m a lawyer and when I went to my first in person deposition in many months, I unthinkingly picked up the first mask lying around the house. I didn’t notice it was a skull mask. I walked into the deposition in my suit and tie and skull mask, and the opposing counsel accused me of trying to intimidate him. Angry hilarity ensued. The entire deposition was very hostile because we were both wearing masks, and a contentious situation is made worse when the parties can’t see each other’s faces.
To top it off, during the lunch break I went outside and took off my mask. I didn’t know there was an outdoor mask mandate in that city until a jogger--shirtless, but wearing a mask--yelled at me: “put your fucking mask on!”
I am a peaceful mellow guy, but I challenged the jogger to fight me. I have never done that before in my life. The jogger flipped me off and ran away.
I will never forget that day.
In addition to all the practical reasons masks are terrible, on a metaphysical level I think they are demonic. They bring out a terrible side of people
It’s not the masks that bring out the terrible side of people it’s the self righteous smugness that’s become accepted and indeed protected in our hyper feminized society. Bill Burr has a great comedy routine on how women grow up in a culture in which they can say any horrible thing to anyone with little fear of reprisal (unlike men, who risk getting an ass kicking for similar behavior). This protection has now been extended to feminized men and the victim classes with horrific results. If you have zero fear of retribution; manners aren’t reinforced, and society degrades to its lowest common denominator.
Indeed. Just not diversity of thought or, even more on point, the immunological diversity whereby individual immune systems select different bouquets of epitopes as targets for future immune memory against repeat infections from a viral swarm.
Nope not that one. Everyone has to have THE manufactured antibodies.
“It’s been devastating for me to watch older colleagues, whose opinion and expertise I respect, succumb to this irrational superstition.”
YES. As a Renaissance/Baroque singer with a business day job, I believed I was part of a subset of a subset of rather counterculture, independent thinkers who’ve devoted much of their lives to insistence on a kind of beauty that is often inscrutable to the modern ear and mind, often expensive to produce, and daunting for the conventionally trained musician to learn. A few of the most experienced members of this cohort have been incredibly generous and supportive mentors and collaborators.
It’s been absolutely excruciating for me to watch this one true tribe of like minds (so I once thought, before they banished me for refusing masks & pokes) subscribe to and double down on the ‘Rona delusion. Most of them still won’t speak to me or play with me, and they’re still observing the liturgy with more or less devotion.
I will never get over this. Scarcely a week goes by when I don’t contemplate just ending my performing career (what parsimonious scraps of it remain). Fvck this garbage.
i fled american academia with all their woke shit, gave up salary and prestige*, for a place at a research institute where we do highly technical stuff that requires a lot of rare linguistic knowledge, and other expertise. no theory, no politics, just a lot of hard-headed very rational people, some of whom are the only guys alive who can do what they do. I had admired many of these people for years. and now this mask nonsense, with no sign of ending, and many of them are the cheerleaders for it.
right after I returned to Munich and left the whole American side of my life behind forever, i got dragged into attending a Schäfflertanz, basically a coopers' dance guild, who perform carnival-tier tricks in return for small donations. they do this every seven years, inspired by the 1517 plague. that was right on the eve of the pandemic. i feel like i stepped through the looking glass then, within months everything changed. i think about this all the time.
I have not given up on my mission to dethrone Karl Lauterbach! I encourage everyone to share the following letter with the hashtag #FireKarlLauterbach:
Also, anyone can feel free to use my letter to the Oregon Health Authority to oppose mask mandates. Many have done so, including an autistic student who wrote a letter to her school board and cited my research as supporting evidence to help overturn the mandate at her school:
Interesting how the CO2-is-evil crowd has no problem making schoolkids breathe mask air with hugely elevated concentrations, leading to poorly understood cognitive/health effects.
I was convinced early on that the whole idea of masks was to reduce human CO2 emissions. We know they do absolutely nothing to prevent virus transmission and are very harmful for the wearer. The only thing that made sense was the ridiculous climate change narrative about reducing carbon dioxide. They have actually invented a mask for cows too. I saw a photo of (the then) Prince Charles applauding that effort. Now the King can really dig into the matter. It would be a great comedy sketch if it wasn't such a clear and present danger.
That’s an interesting theory, but it assumes a) they actually care about the environment and b) they believe their own bullshit, neither of which is supported by the evidence.
Mask-wearing serves several purposes:
1) Establish a visual reminder that there is a pandemic, creating the illusion of a threat along with fostering a continual sense of fear, anxiety, and stress.
2) Enforce conformity of behavior and subsequently thought.
3) Identify the political dissenters by the absence of the in-group symbol; see #2 (Symbolization) under the Ten Stages of Genocide in this piece:
Oh yes, I am tackling the big picture as well. I am working on a letter about the proposed pandemic accord and have already published two previous letters related to the WHO’s attempted one-world dictatorship grab:
It is so sad and also ridiculous. Think about this: if masks were to stop anything shouldn't they be disposed of on a regular basis? And also maybe in a biohazzard container?
Yet, we are told they stop stuff, and you can reuse them again and again and again. Somehow this virus knows not to bother people when eating. Only to and from certain areas.
Mass formation via social proof. Sorry you are going thru this
Among various emails of increasing hysteria that we received from our (former) medical practice in the spring and summer of 2020 was this gem from April 10th: "When taking off the mask, only touch the straps on your head, not the front that is potentially contaminated and if you can, throw it directly into the wash."
The high comedy of the "directly into the wash" bit is that the practice serves mainly New York City residents, most of whom do not have washers and dryers in their own apartments. "Directly into a mesh bag for washing at a public laundromat or in the basement of your building surrounded by strangers sometime next week" would be more accurate.
Yeah, it's all fake. I wish eugyppius could fake up a shot card and come to the free state of FL, but that's easier said than done.
Me too. And I can’t help but be irritated that the same people who tell us not to use straws because a turtle was injured give no consideration to their filthy masks piling up in public spaces.
I live in a deep blue area of the US, and it's very clear that masks are NEVER going away in medical settings. They're not even talking about an end game.
I find myself nostalgically watching pre-2020 medical shows where people could visit the doctor/dentist/clinic/hospital unmasked. I know that this part of life is gone forever, and it's incredibly, soul-crushing, depressing.
In 2003 I was in an elevator once with someone wearing a mask. I thought it was just so...odd, but whatever. Little did I know in less than 20 years these people would be running the world. I was not interested in them, but they would most certainly become interested in me.
So I would be content to live in a society with the masker's mental illness, except that they FORCE me to participate. This forced participation in their mental illness is the most despairing because it's so hard to imagine how it will ever end in my lifetime.
David you describe so well how I feel about living in a world of insanity that will never end .It will only end for me when I die .Only 3 years ago I could not imagine that a invisible probably non bug could be used to change the world from quite pleasant to a nightmare .
Greetings from the deep blue. As a matter of fact, just yesterday while at Costco I observed that the percentage of people masking has INCREASED significantly. The sun is out it’s not cold, flu season hasn’t started but the band plays on. Not too long ago it was 20% muzzled. That has flipped to 70-80%. I was so taken aback that I took a picture and shared it with a red state buddy.
I’ve finally accepted that my life is in my hands and I’m now slowly figuring out how to connect with air breathers to replace my muzzled crew. I can’t unsee them as anything but puppets now and as Euggip says the respect is just not there anymore. Smart people who do not think has been the biggest eye opening loss.
I completely understand -- can't even imagine having to wear a mask at work all day.
I fear what will happen after all of the people who hate masks have left healthcare. Only the most militant maskers will remain, and visiting the doctor/dentist will be even more unpleasant than it already is.
At my ophthalmologist office everyone is masked of course, but every time someone would get up from their chair in the waiting room, a little covidminion would run out and spray Lysol all over the chair! Unbelievable! You could barely breathe the stench. I'm sure that's good for your health. Or it might just kill any virus in your lungs 🤔. F-ing crazy 😜
I feel for you! I cannot bear seeing people in masks. It's so stupid and unhygienic and uninformed and stupid and stupid. That people are so stupid that they wear them without a second thought. I hate it and I am worried that they will return en masse in the UK this winter. Because people are stupid. I have tried to explain to myself that it's all this mass formation/hypnosis/government fear-mongering. But basically, people are stupid and I hate them for being so stupid. Covid is a nasty cold virus. Nothing makes any difference to a cold virus. But people are stupid enough to wear a dirty mask because some twat on the TV told them to.
I'll quote (and translate) my funny, sensitive and strong willed 8 year old son about masks, when the news came that he had to wear a mask at summer camp (later, at school):
1) it stinks
2) it is extremely irritating, I hate this feeling of the mask on my face. I just hate it.
3) I cannot see properly with a mask creeping up my nose
4) it is not healthy for me
5) I rebreath my own air which cannot be good for me
6) there must be small dust particles that I breathe in.
We found a nice and understanding doctor (which was not easy) who talked with him and gave him a medical exemption. He was the only child in his primary school who went without a mask when it was mandatory. There were some other parents unhappy about the masks, but their children didn't want to stand out from the crowd and so they gave in. Our son felt he could go without the mask because the doctor had such a good conversation with him, which made him feel strong.
To this day, I cannot thank this doctor enough, for listening to him and taking him seriously.
(This was at a time when some doctors where intimidated by the medical board of doctors, for writing medical exemptions for children. Oh wel, there are STILL doctors being chased by this board, to this day. It is a disgrace.)
Masks make the wearer an active and invested participant in the lies they're being told.
Makes me think of the famous Solzhenitsyn quote: "the most accessible key to our liberation: a personal nonparticipation in lies! Even if all is covered by lies, even if all is under their rule, let us resist in the smallest way: Let their rule hold not through me!"....."Never knowingly support lies."
I love Solzhenitsyn. He's had the greatest influence on me of any author.
I have a wise Latvian friend who studied Solzhenitsyn, he appears to understand human motivation, it doesn't change with the centuries.
I have the set, “Gulag Archipelago”.
I think there is a similar vein in GA but this particular quote comes from his 1974 essay called "Live Not By Lies." Worth a read on its own.
Available in Enlgish in the Mahoney-edited A Solzhenitysn Reader.
Great quote.
This was part of my reply to those who insisted masking was the Christian and loving thing to do for your fearful neighbors. No, supporting them in their life of delusion is not loving.
That's a good way to put it. I was sadly disappointed that so many churches jumped on the bandwagon.. Encouraged the jabs, sit or stand 6 ft apart, always keep the masks on, no hugging--only fist bumps, etc..
They also repeat the mantra; "We need to do this to protect ourselves and each other-and our neighbors."
Also why I just could not do it. Could not tell the lies; could not wear them on my face.
Truly
Yes, they are the "Green Grocer's Sign" (Vaclav Havel) of our era. Also, in implying agreement with the lies, they are a form of "coerced expression," a concept that matters in American First Amendment jurisprudence.
Yes in addition to dehumanizing them, and they also allow those behind this PSYOP to easily, visually, gauge how well it's going via mask compliance.
Lauterbach is the guy at the poker table who keeps doubling down with a pair of 2's. Eventually someone will call his bluff.
If no one has done it yet, it’s not going to happen. Here’s an idea: Every single person STOP COMPLYING! These people that wear masks are literal idiots.
I agree Renee!! I’m a FL girl, but spend summers in Western NY. I never wore a mask in the NY grocery store, but did get verbally abused for walking the wrong way down the aisle. I got thrown out of REI for mask around my neck, trick didn’t work, so the manager physically moved me out the door and offered to let me shop from “a distance” - outside in the cold. (FU). I wore a mask in the doc’s waiting room, I was forced. But my dermatologist, OBGYN, GP, dentist and ortho docs NEVER said a word when I was maskless in the exam rooms. I was lucky.
GOOD! You’re a fighter like me. No stranger has a right to take your rights away-EVER! Most people are sheep…they’d be the first on the trains to their death.
I had the same experience in WNY. I dodged the masks as long as I could, but I finally submitted once a policeman at the supermarket entrance demanded mask up or leave. Since I didn't care to make his job harder, I put on a mask. Not saying I'm proud of it.
And the officer was wrong. There is no law stating you have to wear a mask. If anything, a mask is a medical device…he was violating your rights under the law. But, I understand.
He would have relied on trespassing laws. Once the store owner or his agent (in this case the police officer) asks me to leave, for any reason, I have to leave or I'm guilty of trespassing.
I don’t think you can be charged with trespassing when a business is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Germans are still very lucky ,Lauterbach has not so far mandated the wearing of condoms 24/7 .for every man or boy.For females the mask could be worn top and bottom if he so mandates .That he did not do so ,so far, proves he does not love the Germans enough .
Well that’s true! LMAO!
Unless.. you factor in the emerging phenomenon of vax "shedding" hurting the un-vaxxed. I've met several purebloods wearing masks in US supermarkets I had friendly chats with who told me they were until recently anti-maskers but couldn't be around the recently vaccinated without horrible side effects. I don't know the mechanism, but it's real.
Here's a recent broadcast with first hand anecdotes from medical researcher Erica Kahn who also tracks trends in the growing soc med shedding injury groups: https://mediaarchives.gsradio.net/rense/special/rense_090522_hr2.mp3
A mask isn’t going to save anyone from anything. Do people realize they have pores on their body?
Yes the pores are a big problem ,it's where the shedding comes from .Therefore in Germany of course ,at the entrance of restaurants ,powerful shakers are being installed to shake every useless eater before entry .The yrusses fall through a screen to be collected for delivery back to Pfizer for more venom making .The Germans have always been the thinkers and shakers ,right ?? Lauterbach??
Damn! You’re on a roll today! I would actually believe they’d do something like this. The World is mad.
everything goes ! Install a rollercoaster on every corner! I might go back out I love rollercoasters
😅😅😅
I said the same to them. One, who had a background in medical research told me he understands but theres mounting evidence the spoteins bind to larger particles (unlike the virus) that the masks ARE able to not eliminate but reduce. Two of these folks also wore amulet sized negative inonizers around their necks based on excellent studies by Sharp Corp showing negative ion charges bind with air particles these spoteins bind to making them fall out of the air.
Well, that settles it. Sharp Corp has never lied to me.
obviously not LOL. Take a magnifying glass they are visible in it ! And we have to breathe, and we better not breathe through these dirty rags.
We got Fake Masks. I don’t wear masks. With that being said, I recently had to have cancer removed from my body. It was either wear the mask or have cancer. Cost vs. Benefit-lol! It’s absolutely insane. I got in arguments all the time not wearing a mask in stores and I wasn’t allowed to buy ONE item at Safeway…and this was just a few months ago! I’ll NEVER go there again. All of this is illegal. No man gets to take your freedom away-EVER!
And Ingrid, people have more power than they realize! Truly! I always have relied on the protection of God and His angels. Psalm 91. The power is real!
I am considering creating a mask which would hook on to the front of my face but not touch the mouth. It will be made of rare metals and precious and semiprecious gemstones and will duplicate the sacred Breastplate of Aaron. I'd like to see them tell me I have to take it off in favor of a face diaper.
Renee, love your posts, you're a beast - In the best sense of the word!!
How Glorious would that day be if the vaccinated were suddenly told to mask up in order to protect purebloods from their vaccinated shedding and blasting sick snot? I'm gonna go back and capitalize the word Glorious!
💥👏…what irony!
Pure Schademaskenfreude!
if it’s exosomes shedding, then just like virus, the masks won’t help. they’re too tiny.
that is what I think too. If they don't help against the virus how are they going to help against particles of the virus ? And second, I hate masks. If we get it, we get it. It is that simple.
Shedding of virions is dealt with by your immune system the same way all pathogens get treated. The spike exosomes are likely everywhere by now, given the number of transfections by injection. It can’t really be avoided. Having a healthy immune system is the key. Some people experiencing ill effects may have some sort of dysfunction or sensitivity, that can’t be denied. But I don’t think it makes sense to live in fear of something so ubiquitous.
There hasn’t been a lot of rigorous scientific study on shedding. Theoretically, exosomes can be shed by any tissue. The Pfizer study seemed to highlight physical contact, but shedding could occur through respiration, feces, body fluids, etc.
The masks don’t work for respiratory viruses--there’s no reason to believe they would work for shedding.
The shedding is still tiny aerosol bits though, right? So masks won’t keep them out???
Good question. I thought it was skin-to-skin, but apparently there are other ways.
Monkey Pox needs contact, yes. But not covid.
I thought that whatever is being shed is not actually the COVID virus.
I'm skeptical, but willing to be open minded. Skeptical mostly on the basis of assuming cause and effect.
Being skeptical yet open sounds a lot like old-school science. Bravo!
'...told me they were until recently anti-maskers but couldn't be around the recently vaccinated without horrible side effects'
That's the cause and effect that I'm skeptical of.
Me too, but listen to the hundreds of very compelling shedding accounts summarized twice weekly broadcast on the right hand column of rense.com.
Something's definitely going on.
I work in a (except me and a guy in the shop) fully vaxxed place. When I started working there, I got terrible leg pains and some headaches. I treated this with horse paste, NAC, nattokinase and star anise. About 2 weeks ago now I hugged a coworker to comfort her. I had a resurgence of all those symptoms plus the recurrance of a viral illness that hasn't bothered me in a decade.
Lesson learned. I can only hug the unvaxxed these days. That will make 'dating' interesting.
Yes I agree, there is definitely something going on. My daughter has experienced this.
The times it affected her was when she was indoors around a large group of vaccinated people--and someone had recently gotten a shot. It is very strange, but apparently Pfizer and Moderna knew about it from the beginning...
I'm not buying into the shedding thing. An injection bypasses so many of the natural defenses of the human body, but any 'shed' viral particles would have to run a deadly gantlet of bacteria, fungi, and parasites on and inside the skin and tissues which is the product of a billion years of animal evolution.
The likely major shedding pathway isn’t through skin or GI tract—it’s more likely through the 130 sq meters of mucosa in our lungs and respiratory pathways. Pfizer’s study flagged skin contact with jabbed subjects for pregnant women, so there was already a recognized concern from them, even if it wasn’t reported (revealed through FOIA dump, if I recall).
Regardless of the vector, a healthy immune system knows what to do.
You'd think, but it's happening, somehow, nonetheless according to the observed/annecdotal data that's piling up.
These hysterics should be forced to look at an electron microscope view of their bedsheets and pillow covers!
Lol, his own brother who's an MD already called him an "idiot".
You confuse him with brother of chencellor Scholz. But Lauterbachs ex wife sais he is incapable of reading and understanding scientific literature, a fact which is obvious
I'll take it! In modern government, the crap always rises to the top! :)
Europe is facing default which is the driving impetus of the #GreatReset (along with all it's other bells and whistles) and the US is OK for now but faces the same likely fate in a few years. Klaus is popular/powerful because he's been able to combine wienerschnitzel with manure and make it taste great. His "reset" gives politicians a way to default on all debt, remove some of your's too so we're "all in this together", blame the whole thing on a virusclimatecatastophe and RETAIN POWER instead of having their heads chopped off.
If you follow Edward Dowd on GETTR - a former very successful investment guy -- the whole shamdemic has been to cover for the global debt bubble crash (not his exact words... but the gist)
Oh, I know, but the same characters who seek to extract every last erg of cooperation (the basis of fiat capitalism) from us "useless eaters" are (likely, largely) the same people who populate Ghislaine Maxwell's list.
Oh, I thought this was all a masquerade to divert our attention from Maxwell's list...
Shall we settle on, "It's both"?
Problem then is, that the crap always rolls downhill to the rest of us in the trenches, as it were.
Except that brother of Scholz also believes in lockdons and fairytayle that vaccines prenvent hospitalisation
Will they, though?
It seems Germans are willing to tolerate an awful lot. Where is the opposition?
You might want to come to Canada ,you will feel right at home .
As a German, I'd answer to that question in following non-PC-manner: there's a reason certain awful things happened about 80-100 years ago. Germans love to follow rules. They need rules, they're lost without a system which tells them what to do. It's pathetic really, but it's reality.
And even if you're not like that, you just can't evade it either, because the powers that be go after the livelihood of businesses: they are the ones that get fined for customers not wearing masks.
As an anti-masker all this time, I kept wearing a mask in small businesses and super markets and such. Not because I wanted to, but because I do not want others to get punished for my behaviour, however right it might be. This is the true insidious nature of the technocrat fascists, tbh.
Deuces are wild.
Eventually EVERYBODY calls his bluff.
Welcome to my world. I can't make eye contact with someone in a mask. If I encounter someone in a mask-voluntary place with one on, I cannot help but look at them with utter disgust and revulsion, and lately outright hostility. When I see adult parents - unmasked - walking with their masked kids, it is no different than seeing them whipped with a belt in my eyes.
Day in and day out, I see people who I once mistook as rational human beings, put their mask on, then take it off when they sit down for a while, then put it back on, then pull it under their nose, then remove it again, and on and on. They could be sticking needles in their eyes, it would make more sense.
Countless casual acquaintances I no longer bother to say hello to. When I do the usual dad-at-kids-party stuff, I more or less stand on my own, or with other minorities like myself who feel so unbelievably alone in this sea of insanity
I have said it before, and i'll say it again - I will never be the same.
Yep. I find myself outright laughing at these idiot maskers now. They wear the paper mask while in line and then remove it once they’ve gotten on the train. With all the same people. Then they remove it to eat food. For an hour. Then put the dirty mask back on to walk to the toilet. Then touch it with bathroom hands. Then pull it down to sneeze. Then up for awhile. Then they pull it down to talk to someone. Do they think the mask is a DETERRENT? Like Dirty Harry’s .357? Like the virus SEES the masks and thinks, “Oh, I’d better stay back, that guy could put that mask on any minute.” What the hell do they think the mask does? I just want to start screaming “IF THERE WAS REALLY A DEADLY VIRUS YOU WOULD BE DEAD ALREADY!”
Well, many are brain dead forever .Should they be allowed to drive? They are not only retarded they may be dangerous also .
Joe: Have you heard the latest term for the (likely) vax caused traffic collisions? "Vaxidents." I've had a few people suddenly try to make a left hand turn at a controlled intesection--Right in front of me. WTHeck?? What happened to good judgement? It was out of the ordinary for me--beyond the usual stupid--in all my decades of driving. I pondered this--And then read that traffic "acccidents" were up about ten percent over the statistical rate. The article mentiond "vaxidents." Perhaps the fools who tried to T-bone me were all triple injected. Be aware; drive even more defensively. Never mind the few drivers who are alcohol impaired. The vaxed are orders of magnitude more prevalent on the road. I read one anecdote about a triple injected man eho left home for work--Without his pants. Supposedly a true acccount. I believe it. This mRNA toxin has a "shipload" of dangerous side effects.
Just the fact ,that lining up for shots with unknown outcomes without a gun to ones head is a sign of insanity .There is also evidence that the injections change the injected to be less human and more robotic ,a permanent condition .
Seen more than a few of these in my locality. It used to be a once every year kinda thing, but it has become weekly.
Expecting the guy with a mask on passing you to suddenly die of a heart attack while gunning his mustang really puts some teeth into the concept of defensive driving.
I've also seen scenes where drivers obviously pulled over and called emergency services, or when drivers, looking very ill, were switching seats with passengers. I hope all these people are all right, but in 40 years of driving, I've never seen this happen, and so much of it at once. People usually do that kind of pull over in parking lots. That so many are just pulling off the side of the road means this comes on fast and is of such severity one cannot make it to the Mc Donald's a quarter of a mile down the road.
Not meaning to be judgmental. But I've always suspected that some of the folks who caught covid were given doses of it from the other vaccines. Just heard about a man this week who died 9 days after taking the monkey vaccine.
Well I don’t trust anyone anymore so it’s entirely possible the medicines are causing the diseases.
I think the medicines are contributing to the insanity of some people too. I don't remember the name of the web site and it may be long gone in this censored era. This web site (around 2008) had listed several people who reported taken some type of psychotropic drug. Every person listed on that web site had either committed suicide, killed at least one family member, or went on a mass shooting spree..
Well I believe it. Alex Berensons book “Tell Your Children” is about how the new high potency marijuana causes psychosis.
You can simply smoke less of the good stuff. It is indeed very strong nowadays so I simply smoke less than half the amount. Kids will likely do the same
..
I heard somewhere recently that toddlers and children are being described those drugs!
OMG, Mary...you may be right! It’s either the TV, the masks, or the jabs, but some people do seem inclined to crazy fearfulness.
I just remembered a quote I heard in recent years. This quote was attributed to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie." Hearing and seeing lots of things in the US and other countries that seem to mirror Nazi Germany. No disrespect to the good people living in Germany now or during WW2. It just seems to me that the evils and the atrocities of the past are merging with newer versions in the 21st century.
I am irrevocably changed, and I am not sure it is for the better—surely this animosity I feel is bad for me. I am reminded of a quote from a book that Eugyppius is forbidden by law from reading: "gradually I came to hate them."
It is sobering to reflect on this murderous hatred in my own heart, that I did not ask to feel.
The passage preceding the quoted sentence is quite crucial:
"The more I argued with them, the better I came to know their dialectic. First they counted on the stupidity of their adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, they themselves simply played stupid. If all this didn't help, they pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, they changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, they immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about. Whenever you tried to attack one of these apostles, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck one of these fellows so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, he couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day."
If this doesn't describe US and EU liberals 100%, I don't know what does.
I feel like the masked hate me for not being masked. We all feel hated and then hate back in return. The masks are so evil.
Yes, before this is all over, more and more people are going to understand that book, and see a lot more things through new eyes. Even the most forbidden of things.
Same here.
"Day in and day out, I see people who I once mistook as rational human beings, put their mask on, then take it off when they sit down for a while, then put it back on, then pull it under their nose, then remove it again, and on and on. They could be sticking needles in their eyes, it would make more sense." Welcome to my world!
That is the same world I'm in.
I feel ya. 100%.
I've got friends who are afraid I'm going to infect them with the covid bug I haven't had to date. But they're not afraid to have mercury, a synthetic spike protein or whatever injected into their bloodstream. So it's safer for my health to stay away from them. I missed a wedding earlier this year, because it was mandatory for everyone to be covid jabbed to attend. I was am still willing to pass on that genocide shot. All of them.
I held my ground with my family and acquaintances, and now consider myself the victor. I'm a magnanimous victor, but still enjoy ruffling their feathers now and then.
❤️❤️❤️
I shied away from someone who really wanted my friendship when I read her little treatise on Facebook about how to show warmth and friendliness whilst wearing a mask. She advocated practicing your smiling, twinkling eyes in the bathroom mirror, FFS. Barking mad.
"FFS. Barking mad." ❤️❤️❤️ 100%.
This is precisely where I'm at. Thank you for describing it exactly.
About the kids: are they perhaps forced to wear masks at school, and have become so habituated that they demand to wear them everywhere? 'Coz it seems really, really odd that a parent would go around maskless, but mask the child.
As I entered the stadium I refused the offered mask. My companion asked, “Why don’t you use the mask?” “Because”, I said,”I know the difference between a micron and a nanometer”.
This 1000 times.
Pun intended, I presume. (Excellent!)
I wrote a few articles on the harder-to-articulate but nevertheless profound harms of masking, it's hard for most people to articulate subtle psychological dynamics even if they are devastating to them.
Brownstone published a couple of them, hopefully will publish the third too:

Child abuse? We've moved beyond that to child sacrifice. 💉
Just because you brought that up:
The Contemporary Renaissance of Moloch
Vaccinating children is indistinguishable from the ancient rites of Moloch worship
https://ashmedai.substack.com/p/the-contemporary-renaissance-of-moloch
Yeah...predictable human behaviors when confronted with existential anxiety.
All it needed was a Moloch/Fauci to play out.
I completely agree with you that forced masking of children is by far the worse use of the damned things. Seeing kids walking home from school wearing masks angers me more than just about any of the other insane things that have happened in the last 2.5 years. I wonder if the damage we're doing to kids' psychological and physical development can be ever be undone; I sure hope so, but I suspect it may take a very long time.
I have a 15 year old niece who developed an eating disorder during the time of…guess what….masking. She has now been dealing with it for over a year. Made progress and now it’s rearing it’s ugly head again. I will never get over what this has done to children. Never….
I think the 2 are linked. I have been blown away by the number of noticably anorexic girls and women I see who are still masking. The fact they are one of the few demographics still doing it here, along with sexually confused men, old women with illnesses and the 'woke' just makes it all the more apparent.
I hope your niece comes through all right. Getting kids into an environment where they are cut off from social media and are sucked into living seems to be the best advice anyone has.
Given the state of society & parenting today....
Let's just say that there's gonna be major excess serial killers when these kids grow up, you can take that to the bank.
Here in New Zealand the government yesterday lifted all mask mandates (for now?) except for health care and aged care settings. I find it impossible to believe that they actually think they actually work, so the retention of mask mandates for those settings is just so that they don't have to ADMIT that they don't work. The brainwashed public think they do, so politically it is acceptable for them to be retained for "vulnerable" situations. Sigh. Anyway, I have written endlessly to government ministers responsible for making these decisions, plus other relevant parties who subscribe to the notion that mask mandates (or indeed masks) work with respect to mitigating the spread of an aerosolised nanoparticle. The response is always the same; either no response or one full of misinformation and platitudes. The latest was from our Minister for Covid-19 Response (yes, it's an actual title) which included the following studies https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.28.22278153v1.full.pdf and https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818. I find neither of them convincing evidence to support the wholesale masking of an entire population including children from age 10 and up at school. I don't expect that these were the only studies looked at, but one would have thought that it would be the strongest that would be included as references to support the policies I was questioning. If these are the best she can do then that is concerning. I will continue to battle on this matter until they admit they were wrong. This means I will be battling until the Ice Age comes to Hell.
Yesterday, the first day NZ was "allowed" to drop masking (I had been flouting this rule anyway), I was utterly revolted to see parents at our kindy still masking when picking their kids up, and children masked at our little local library after school - so revolted, in fact, that I wanted to grab my children and run away from them. A physical revulsion. A sneer I fought to keep off my face. Disgust I felt was emanating from me, it was so strong. Great pity for the children. It wasn't a day of liberation because I'd "liberated" myself from the mandates some time ago, but I now realize that many here weren't just compliant but terrified. They haven't done any research.
I can totally empathise with how you felt re the kindy pick up masking etc etc. It beggars belief. I am getting to the point where I will actually say something in these sorts of situations. They need to be jolted out of this insanity. I went on a "field trip" into town yesterday to see how different things would be now that Dear Leader had given her subjects "permission" to go maskless. At the local mall approximately 95% were maskless. The vast majority still covered were YOUNG! In their 20s. Most of the "oldies" were obviously done with it all. I wasn't sure which was worse - seeing the majority still "doing as they were told" by ditching their masks, or seeing some were so brainwashed they were still masking. Also, because I didn't want to be lumped into the "maskless-because-we-are-now-allowed-to-be" camp I felt like I needed to wear a badge which says "I never wore a mask anyway" :)
Not to worry. Within a month, most people will be unmasked once they realize how stupid they look with the mask on.
I'll never regret homeschooling our kids, esp when 2020 rolled on in. Nowadays public schooling is child abuse. Our kids regard the masked as insane or deceived :)
Remember we have an election coming up. Joe Public are voting with their increasing resistance so time to change policies. Overton window at work.. Health lady actually admitted the jabs don't stop the spread .
Thank you so much for these links. Just finished your Substack on masks. Superb.
I had the most visceral, immediate reaction to that demented loser, Charlie "Parker" Baker, the general manager of MA, when he issued his mask "mandate". At the time, we had a small house in far northern NH and I told my husband, "We're outta here! I will not cooperate with this! EVER!"
And #Never Have; Never Will. Even when traveling halfway across the country: https://shethinksliberty.substack.com/p/traveling-during-a-time-of-tyranny
I did read the Experience of forced masking from a child's perspective . All people planing to be parents should read it .I did not have to read it to understand what it must mean for a helpless child to be musseld like a dog .
You know what, I suspect they just get used to it. And that may be the worst part of it. Kinda like just getting used to never running around, or never playing with other kids, etc. The poor kids just get used to it and grow up damaged without even realizing it.
It's been coming on for a few years now. Kids have been allowed shorter and shorter chains to the point parents take for models the 'helicopter parent' or 'tiger mom' that leave no free time for imagination or exploration. Kids need to roam. It's how they learn.
Even more so, slaves have worn mask as well as pagan/polytheism pratctioners. The Evil symbolism is spot on.
"pagan/polytheism practitioners" = Evil?
Got it. Thank goodness we're all rational scientists here.
So "rational scientists" excludes fear of God in addition to the sordid history and complete failure of masks in viral prevention? Got it. Thanks
No problem. From me and all the divine boogeymen of every faith that happens not to be yours.
Step by step we find out what it means to be '''loved''' by our '''Leaders'' .
I hate it when I find out I'm evil...
<3 haters. :)
🤣
"pagan/polytheism practitioners" = Evil?
I know I take exception to that assumption.
Apparently the formulation is ironclad and I just don't get it!
Yeah. Rational. (eyeroll)
the egyptian opening of the mouth ritual (to steal eden speech)
You’ve left nothing for us to say in the comments section, because tou’ve said it all, E.
A couple years ago when masks were required wear I lived, I got various scary skull masks as a silent protest. I’m a lawyer and when I went to my first in person deposition in many months, I unthinkingly picked up the first mask lying around the house. I didn’t notice it was a skull mask. I walked into the deposition in my suit and tie and skull mask, and the opposing counsel accused me of trying to intimidate him. Angry hilarity ensued. The entire deposition was very hostile because we were both wearing masks, and a contentious situation is made worse when the parties can’t see each other’s faces.
To top it off, during the lunch break I went outside and took off my mask. I didn’t know there was an outdoor mask mandate in that city until a jogger--shirtless, but wearing a mask--yelled at me: “put your fucking mask on!”
I am a peaceful mellow guy, but I challenged the jogger to fight me. I have never done that before in my life. The jogger flipped me off and ran away.
I will never forget that day.
In addition to all the practical reasons masks are terrible, on a metaphysical level I think they are demonic. They bring out a terrible side of people
It’s not the masks that bring out the terrible side of people it’s the self righteous smugness that’s become accepted and indeed protected in our hyper feminized society. Bill Burr has a great comedy routine on how women grow up in a culture in which they can say any horrible thing to anyone with little fear of reprisal (unlike men, who risk getting an ass kicking for similar behavior). This protection has now been extended to feminized men and the victim classes with horrific results. If you have zero fear of retribution; manners aren’t reinforced, and society degrades to its lowest common denominator.
"Why don't you come here and make me, asshole" is the only appropriately civil response in that situation.
They hid faces during 2020 riots
And will do the same in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 riots
Indeed. Just not diversity of thought or, even more on point, the immunological diversity whereby individual immune systems select different bouquets of epitopes as targets for future immune memory against repeat infections from a viral swarm.
Nope not that one. Everyone has to have THE manufactured antibodies.
“It’s been devastating for me to watch older colleagues, whose opinion and expertise I respect, succumb to this irrational superstition.”
YES. As a Renaissance/Baroque singer with a business day job, I believed I was part of a subset of a subset of rather counterculture, independent thinkers who’ve devoted much of their lives to insistence on a kind of beauty that is often inscrutable to the modern ear and mind, often expensive to produce, and daunting for the conventionally trained musician to learn. A few of the most experienced members of this cohort have been incredibly generous and supportive mentors and collaborators.
It’s been absolutely excruciating for me to watch this one true tribe of like minds (so I once thought, before they banished me for refusing masks & pokes) subscribe to and double down on the ‘Rona delusion. Most of them still won’t speak to me or play with me, and they’re still observing the liturgy with more or less devotion.
I will never get over this. Scarcely a week goes by when I don’t contemplate just ending my performing career (what parsimonious scraps of it remain). Fvck this garbage.
right there with you, Rotschwan.
i fled american academia with all their woke shit, gave up salary and prestige*, for a place at a research institute where we do highly technical stuff that requires a lot of rare linguistic knowledge, and other expertise. no theory, no politics, just a lot of hard-headed very rational people, some of whom are the only guys alive who can do what they do. I had admired many of these people for years. and now this mask nonsense, with no sign of ending, and many of them are the cheerleaders for it.
right after I returned to Munich and left the whole American side of my life behind forever, i got dragged into attending a Schäfflertanz, basically a coopers' dance guild, who perform carnival-tier tricks in return for small donations. they do this every seven years, inspired by the 1517 plague. that was right on the eve of the pandemic. i feel like i stepped through the looking glass then, within months everything changed. i think about this all the time.
*LOL, but there was a little of it, you know ...
I can't describe or explain how much the mask enrages me.
I know, silly right??
Anytime I see someone wearing one, or on a commercial, or even the mere mention of "masks" makes my blood pressure spike through the ceiling.
I am not exaggerating.
I have not given up on my mission to dethrone Karl Lauterbach! I encourage everyone to share the following letter with the hashtag #FireKarlLauterbach:
• “Letter to the German Bundestag” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-german-bundestag)
Also, anyone can feel free to use my letter to the Oregon Health Authority to oppose mask mandates. Many have done so, including an autistic student who wrote a letter to her school board and cited my research as supporting evidence to help overturn the mandate at her school:
• “Letter to the Oregon Health Authority” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-oregon-health-authority)
Interesting how the CO2-is-evil crowd has no problem making schoolkids breathe mask air with hugely elevated concentrations, leading to poorly understood cognitive/health effects.
I was convinced early on that the whole idea of masks was to reduce human CO2 emissions. We know they do absolutely nothing to prevent virus transmission and are very harmful for the wearer. The only thing that made sense was the ridiculous climate change narrative about reducing carbon dioxide. They have actually invented a mask for cows too. I saw a photo of (the then) Prince Charles applauding that effort. Now the King can really dig into the matter. It would be a great comedy sketch if it wasn't such a clear and present danger.
That’s an interesting theory, but it assumes a) they actually care about the environment and b) they believe their own bullshit, neither of which is supported by the evidence.
Mask-wearing serves several purposes:
1) Establish a visual reminder that there is a pandemic, creating the illusion of a threat along with fostering a continual sense of fear, anxiety, and stress.
2) Enforce conformity of behavior and subsequently thought.
3) Identify the political dissenters by the absence of the in-group symbol; see #2 (Symbolization) under the Ten Stages of Genocide in this piece:
• “Letter to a Holocaust Denier” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-holocaust-denier)
4) Dehumanize, isolate, and disconnect, which makes us more vulnerable to propaganda and easier to control.
5) Dumb down the masses via oxygen deprivation.
Those are off the top of my head, but you get the idea.
But that’s fascist anti-vaxxer right-wing racist conspiracy theory misinformation! 😆
Are you sure Karl Lauterbach knows how to reeeed .? Ich werde es in deutsch schreiben together with a picture of my but .
😂
Oh yes, I am tackling the big picture as well. I am working on a letter about the proposed pandemic accord and have already published two previous letters related to the WHO’s attempted one-world dictatorship grab:
• “Letter to the WHO” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-who)
• “Letter to the US HHS Office of Global Affairs” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-us-hhs-office-of-global)
Thanks for the additional info and focus on solutions.
It is so sad and also ridiculous. Think about this: if masks were to stop anything shouldn't they be disposed of on a regular basis? And also maybe in a biohazzard container?
Yet, we are told they stop stuff, and you can reuse them again and again and again. Somehow this virus knows not to bother people when eating. Only to and from certain areas.
Mass formation via social proof. Sorry you are going thru this
Among various emails of increasing hysteria that we received from our (former) medical practice in the spring and summer of 2020 was this gem from April 10th: "When taking off the mask, only touch the straps on your head, not the front that is potentially contaminated and if you can, throw it directly into the wash."
The high comedy of the "directly into the wash" bit is that the practice serves mainly New York City residents, most of whom do not have washers and dryers in their own apartments. "Directly into a mesh bag for washing at a public laundromat or in the basement of your building surrounded by strangers sometime next week" would be more accurate.
Yeah, it's all fake. I wish eugyppius could fake up a shot card and come to the free state of FL, but that's easier said than done.
Seldom referred to is the environmental impact of bajillions of masks. I frequently see them blowing around in the countryside.
Me too. And I can’t help but be irritated that the same people who tell us not to use straws because a turtle was injured give no consideration to their filthy masks piling up in public spaces.
Thank you for articulating my thoughts exactly.
I live in a deep blue area of the US, and it's very clear that masks are NEVER going away in medical settings. They're not even talking about an end game.
I find myself nostalgically watching pre-2020 medical shows where people could visit the doctor/dentist/clinic/hospital unmasked. I know that this part of life is gone forever, and it's incredibly, soul-crushing, depressing.
In 2003 I was in an elevator once with someone wearing a mask. I thought it was just so...odd, but whatever. Little did I know in less than 20 years these people would be running the world. I was not interested in them, but they would most certainly become interested in me.
So I would be content to live in a society with the masker's mental illness, except that they FORCE me to participate. This forced participation in their mental illness is the most despairing because it's so hard to imagine how it will ever end in my lifetime.
David you describe so well how I feel about living in a world of insanity that will never end .It will only end for me when I die .Only 3 years ago I could not imagine that a invisible probably non bug could be used to change the world from quite pleasant to a nightmare .
Greetings from the deep blue. As a matter of fact, just yesterday while at Costco I observed that the percentage of people masking has INCREASED significantly. The sun is out it’s not cold, flu season hasn’t started but the band plays on. Not too long ago it was 20% muzzled. That has flipped to 70-80%. I was so taken aback that I took a picture and shared it with a red state buddy.
I’ve finally accepted that my life is in my hands and I’m now slowly figuring out how to connect with air breathers to replace my muzzled crew. I can’t unsee them as anything but puppets now and as Euggip says the respect is just not there anymore. Smart people who do not think has been the biggest eye opening loss.
I completely understand -- can't even imagine having to wear a mask at work all day.
I fear what will happen after all of the people who hate masks have left healthcare. Only the most militant maskers will remain, and visiting the doctor/dentist will be even more unpleasant than it already is.
At my ophthalmologist office everyone is masked of course, but every time someone would get up from their chair in the waiting room, a little covidminion would run out and spray Lysol all over the chair! Unbelievable! You could barely breathe the stench. I'm sure that's good for your health. Or it might just kill any virus in your lungs 🤔. F-ing crazy 😜
Any chance either of you are in MA? I belong to a MA medical freedom group if you are in MA lmk
I feel for you! I cannot bear seeing people in masks. It's so stupid and unhygienic and uninformed and stupid and stupid. That people are so stupid that they wear them without a second thought. I hate it and I am worried that they will return en masse in the UK this winter. Because people are stupid. I have tried to explain to myself that it's all this mass formation/hypnosis/government fear-mongering. But basically, people are stupid and I hate them for being so stupid. Covid is a nasty cold virus. Nothing makes any difference to a cold virus. But people are stupid enough to wear a dirty mask because some twat on the TV told them to.
People will try to walk on their hands ,with legs up in the air if told it is for our health .
I'll quote (and translate) my funny, sensitive and strong willed 8 year old son about masks, when the news came that he had to wear a mask at summer camp (later, at school):
1) it stinks
2) it is extremely irritating, I hate this feeling of the mask on my face. I just hate it.
3) I cannot see properly with a mask creeping up my nose
4) it is not healthy for me
5) I rebreath my own air which cannot be good for me
6) there must be small dust particles that I breathe in.
We found a nice and understanding doctor (which was not easy) who talked with him and gave him a medical exemption. He was the only child in his primary school who went without a mask when it was mandatory. There were some other parents unhappy about the masks, but their children didn't want to stand out from the crowd and so they gave in. Our son felt he could go without the mask because the doctor had such a good conversation with him, which made him feel strong.
To this day, I cannot thank this doctor enough, for listening to him and taking him seriously.
(This was at a time when some doctors where intimidated by the medical board of doctors, for writing medical exemptions for children. Oh wel, there are STILL doctors being chased by this board, to this day. It is a disgrace.)
