Columbus, Ohio mayor signs mask mandate for city

 Mike, Hank, and you others in town:


https://eu.dispatch.com/story/news/2021/09/14/ginther-signs-indoor-mask-law-stiffer-fines-but-exemptions-aplenty/8338838002/
 
Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther on Tuesday afternoon signed a beefed-up city mask mandate approved by the City Council Monday evening, meaning potential city fines for failing to mask up in most indoor public places are now immediately in effect.

The mask mandate applies to anyone over the age of 2 and whether you have been vaccinated or not.

After an initial warning, the city Health Department can fine businesses $500 for a second offense and $1,000 for subsequent offenses for any customers or staff failing to wear masks.

Individuals also can be fined $100 after a warning.  That's up from $25 originally in response to concerns from businesses about getting fined for noncomplying customers. The fines for individuals grows to $250 for any subsequent offenses.

The fines add teeth to an emergency executive order issued by Ginther last week.

The fines are "civil" penalties, and police officers won't be involved in enforcing the mandate. However, law enforcement will be authorized to enforce trespassing laws if someone who refuses to comply with the mask mandate is asked by representatives of the restaurants, bars, grocery stores or other publicly accessible buildings to leave the premises and does not.
 

Don't tolerate this absolute imbecilic garbage! The wearing of standard cloth masks/hospital masks do nothing to prevent the spread of an airborne (aerosol) virus. If you are coughing on a regular basis and have a running nose/blowing nose, you might want to consider mask wearing just to avoid dirty looks. But of course you should not sneeze into a mask! And a coughing/running nose just forces the mucus out, regardless. And making children wear masks is simply evil. Not only is it actually physically dangerous for kids not to breathe freely, seeing everyone with their faces covered is going to "mess them up" for life! Remember Biderman's Chart of Coercion wherein Enforcing Trivial Demands was a central tool tyrants use?

Mass civil disobedience is required to really change things, but in the meantime, bring a class action suit or join ones that I'm sure will be being put together. Please pass this msg on, and the following list, for here are some Ohio lawyers who might help, thanks to an email a friend sent me:

Sweden, Sweden, Needin' Talked About: Its Covid Success

Friends,

In the "Covid Year" from early 2020 to now mid-2021, Sweden is an incredible story of a country that didn't go along with the standard "Covid Narrative". I remember distinctly arguing with a few correspondents over the course of 2020 who argued that yes, Sweden didn't do lockdowns or mask-wearing, but they regretted that and were changing their tune as fast as they could. I argued back that that wasn't true then, and for the most part – the vast most part – I was correct. Sweden never did follow the standard lockdown-mask up "narrative". The people I corresponded with were reading the MainStream News propaganda. They were lied to.

So, how is Sweden doing today? It's doing fantastic, and that is in itself and in comparison to other countries caught up in the whole Covid idiocy. This article here at American Thinker, titled: "How Sweden Triumphed Over Covid" by William Sullivan, provides the latest news and links.

I would note that while the article opens with Sweden, and offers links to further info, it is also a review of the idiocy in the U.S. and other countries. Here's an excerpt:

Coerced lockdowns and masks must be the only viable solutions, Progressives told us for over a year, because their “experts” like Anthony Fauci said that was what “the science” demanded. 
And yet, there proudly stands Sweden, openly mocking the leftists’ most sacred orthodoxy of the moment.

But Sweden’s relative success isn’t limited to its medical outcomes.  Not only did Sweden avoid the ravages of the virus in terms of death rates, but its citizens are unquestionably happier and more readily poised for the future.  According to a new Pew Research poll, 86 percent of Swedes say the current economic situation is good, which dwarfs the assessments of Brits (44 percent), Canadians (49 percent), or the French (26 percent).  Sweden’s citizens are most likely, among a host of world nations, to say that their government did a “good job” in handling the 2020 pandemic.  Sweden’s 86 percent positive outlook on the economy is nearly reversed in America, with 71 percent saying that the current economic outlook is bad.

This is an extremely important point, how the spirit, the mental attitudes of the Swedes is so much better than the public moods of so much of the rest of the world. Forcing people to be "vaccinated" is grotesquely immoral. People instinctively know that and respond with anger and depression (and eventually, if pushed far enough, violence).

And making second-class citizens of those who aren't "sheeple" is profoundly immoral, and is sowing the seeds of forcing people into insidious classes that didn't exist before. Here in Hungary, someone I know just found out that they can't get a dental procedure done, something scheduled weeks ago, because just the other day the Health Minister ruled that "intrusive" procedures (like drilling teeth) could only be provided to those proving they've been double "vaccinated" or willing to pay for a PCR test. The PCR test is utterly fraudulent and even the CDC is backing away from it.

Dental work is apparently an "elective" procedure as opposed to a "life-saving" procedure, even though not getting the tooth fixed will result in a far more serious medical situation in a few months.

This is screamingly evil – it is evil to refuse care to anyone. That's especaill true to refuse care to someone who refuses to take experimental drugs for a disease that 99.7 percent of all people who get it survive.

It is also evil because it creates outcasts, "untouchables" and it replicates the status Nazis put Jews in from about 1938. The phrase they used, "Dirty Jews" was not just an insult, a pejorative, but it was a specific descriptive: the Nazis meant the Jews were naturally carriers of disease, that having Jews around infected non-Jews with weird, dangerous illnesses that only Jews carried. This is exactly what's beginning now. We must all work to stop this for if we do not, concentration camps are next, and in fact, plans are being drawn up for those! See here for an example: Detention Camps Being Built for Those at High Risk

"Something this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel"

Hi Everyone,

Well, finally, a court in the land in this case, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, has had an extensive hearing on mask mandates and social distancing and a number of other afflictions we've had to endure, and in its judgement, it has thrown the whole lot of them out as unconstitutional, with the judge, Judge Richard A. Brueggemann, quoting a Federal district judge as noted in the title of this post. Truly, we've been living in a dystopian novel, ceart go leor. The Democrat governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, who might have got in via vote stealing, has not only had his wings clipped, he's been plucked entirely.

See The Blaze article here for details.

What I think is most important, though it isn't mentioned in this article, is that this ruling will give major ammunition to Reiner Fuellmich and the efforts of lawyers around the world to put a stop to the Covid madness. For this Kentucky court held hearings in which experts testified – the experts the media and Fauci and his "Faucists" ignore – and found their arguments persuasive. That also happened in a German court a month or so ago and after the German judge made his truly landmark ruling, his house and car were raided be the police! (Somehow I would not recommend Governor Beshear sending in the state police to raid Brueggemann.)

While this ruling, which is broad and sweeping, issuing a permanent injunction against mask mandates, etc., for Kentucky, the article does point that this case will be used within the United States to begin not just a rolling back of what Covid mandates remain, but it removes any constitutional support for such illegal, authoritarian nostrums to be promulgated in the future. (I'm sure lawsuits in California and Michigan will be referring to Judge Brueggemann's ruling.)

Also, quite significantly, Judge Brueggemann listed to testimony about the infamous PCR test. An excerpt:

An P again:
Just fantastic. Once actual evidence and testimony is heard in court, the whole Covid "narrative", from the PCR tests on through mask mandates and all the rest, simply does not bear scrutiny.

And of course all of this is within the standard Germ Theory of Disease. Even within that purview, close inspection and audit will reveal the extent of the depraved scam we've all had to endure. The legal troubles of the execrable Tony Fauci are just the tip of a legal iceberg, in other words.

A dialogue about Allopathic Medicine, and where it might be going

 Street scene, current-day America


(John Q. is walking down the street, and stops beside an advertising board, looking at someone approaching from the opposite direction)

John Q.
Publicus! Oh no! Here to lecture me on something I don't care about. You've become an anti-vaxxer, you know! And a bore.

(Publicus approaches and stops, nodding to John Q. and looks at the board next to them, which has an image of a huge needle above the words: "Love the jab!")

Publicus
I'm getting there, maybe, John Q. Though maybe "non-vaxer" would be closer to the truth.

John Q.
"Just say no," eh?

Publicus
Yep. I fear they're forcing everyone to take these vaccines for Covid, using various methods, like restraining you from traveling, and in general, of course, there's ever more and more vaccines. More and more and more vaccines. But what's the exit strategy? When will enough be enough?

John Q.
"Exit strategy"? What do you mean?

Publicus
Just like they've no exit strategy for Afghanistan, nor had they one for Vietnam, for that matter. They're clearing gearing up for an endless vaccine regimen, for kids and adults. Forever. Or so it looks like.

John Q.
And just who is this "they"?

Publicus
Government and Big Pharma. And remember, from 1986 on, Big Pharma in the U.S. is completely immune from lawsuits of any kind regarding children's vaccines...

John Q.
Surely not.

Publicus
Drug companies cannot be sued for ANY bad results of their product, except through a special court that is a star chamber, basically. And recently government has fixed it so adults can't sure about vaccine products. Carte blanc immunity.

John Q.
Sounds unbelievable.

Publicus
Yet true. There's some sort of special court for parents to sue about vaccines, but it is reputed to be a joke. But about the vaccines, when is enough enough? It's getting to be more of an "exist" strategy than an exit one. How we exist on this planet that is so "buggy" we'll all die without endless vaccinations? How many more are we going to have to take? Next thing you know, they'll start building the Axiom.

John Q.
That's a cute pop-culture reference, yeah. Wall-E, the movie. But it is medicine, Publicus. Medicine! We're the epitome of medicine's evolution! Allopathic medicine will save the world!

Publicus
You don't think things are getting out of control, John Q.? Back in 1985, kids were getting about three vaccine shots, and not they're getting 72, as I understand it.

John Q.
Seventy-two!

Publicus
And more are in the pipeline. They're essentially saying that without massive and invasive drug and genetic therapy, we simply can no longer live in the biodome we evolved in.

John Q.
We're our own aliens, then? Strangers in a strange land?

Publicus
And then, consider the profit motive in all of this. A doctor gets a more than a few bucks for giving someone a shot, the company that made it makes money, so on and so forth. And the whole pharmaceutical industry has gone from 50 to 100 billion dollars to 1.3 trillion, and that's gotta be related to ever more people of all ages being loaded with vaccines.

John Q.
Whew, that's a lot of dough! And money is motive! But then also money makes the world go around, amigo.

Publicus
Yeah, but honestly. In 2000, the vaccine profits of the overall Big Pharma business was about $8 billion a year, and now it it just over $60 billion. Unbelievable! That's got to skew whatever facts there are about vaccines. The same with Global Warming: write a scientific paper questioning Global Warming and you'll get no government money or grants, and you'll be called a shill for "Big Oil", maybe even fired. Write a paper about the world ending in ten years and you're set for life.

John Q.
You're a pessimist, you know. Always gloom and doom. Allopathic medicine is the most western, science-based, data collection-based, extensive drug testing-based, medicine in all of history. And it is also the most government regulated....

Publicus
I know what it is supposed to be, John Q. It treats illness via drugs, radiation, and surgery. I know it has worked pretty well for the past 100 years or so; done miracles, in fact. But look at the world today? In 1910, the U.S. had no heart disease, but by 1940, it was one of the chief causes of death. And chronic diseases have multiplied nightmarishly, especially with kids. The meds developed since then seem to multiply along with the illnesses. All I see is endless vistas of forced drug use, forced vaccinations.

(The two start moving down the street, away from the poster board, but soon another poster board begins to come in sight.)

John Q.
Well, I don't think people should be forced to take vaccines, that's true; after all – it's a free country, right? But then, the other side of the coin is if so many people refuse the vaccines, we'll never get out of this pandemic. 

Publicus
I don't believe that is true....

John Q.
Why not?

Publicus
...Because of the universal past history of contagions.

John Q.
How do you mean?

Publicus
These contagions always fade out after no more than two years. Even the Black Death did that. It killed – some estimates say, though we can't be sure – one-third to half the population of Europe. Imagine such a thing today!

John Q.
No thanks!

Publicus
Yet even it faded away – though it had smaller region-specific flare ups here and there like the big one in 1666 in London, till the last was in the early 1700s. But they never had a vaccine for it.

John Q.
Wasn't there some English doc who "saved the day" with a vaccine?

Publicus
Edward Jenner, but that was with small pox and at the end of the 18th century.

John Q.
So who cured the Black Death?

Publicus
God. No human did. We don't even know for sure what caused the Black Death.

John Q.
The Bubonic plague did.

Publicus
Some late-19th century French bacteriologist named Alexandre Yersin claimed it was Bubonic plague, and most people since just follow along with that, like sheep, much like they follow along today about Covid, in fact.

John Q.
I am feeling woolly.

Publicus
But aside from both Bubonic plague and the Black Death having buboes (swollen lymph glands which occur with other sicknesses, too), that's about it. It moved too fast for the Bubonic plague, which is carried by rats and fleas, and was a lot more deadly than the Bubonic plague, as well. It in fact was a lot more like Ebola...

John Q.
Who cares? I'm going to take my vaccine and be cured of Covid! Covid is special! Very dangerous! I hear it every day, after all. Endlessly.

Publicus
Oh, c'mon. ALL such contagions, all pandemics, burn out after two years. Historically, that's true. The Spanish flu is a classic example. And it is certain that that contagion was a series of different ones, as it acted differently in different regions. You know, Covid is doing the exact same thing.

John Q.
You must believe in "herd immunity" (snorts, snickers).

Publicus
"Herd immunity" is probably it. Or if it isn't that (and I know various worthies argue endlessly about it, round and round – honestly, do we really know anything much?), something is. There is obviously some mechanism – completely natural, clearly – that makes these contagions follow the same bell-curve pattern. World-wide. Through all history.

And in any event, because this Covid has only a 0.03 mortality rate in the overall population of those who actually show symptoms (whether that is as opposed to the PCR test-derived "cases", is a bit murky), why "vaccine" for it at all? Especially odd is this "bum's rush" to push-push-push vaccines. None of them are properly tested, and they're only approved for emergency use.

John Q.
Oh, you c'mon. Those PCR tests are perfect, sublime, saving the human race! (John Q. snorts as he says this.)

Publicus
You don't sound convinced. Actually, the guy who invented the PCR test, Kary Mullis, who even won a Noble for it, was recorded recently saying the test can't work for this Covid business, and that the sainted Fauci didn't know squat about anything.

John Q.
Covid is deadly! I've been told to memorize that, you know. It's the national meme. Deny it at your peril, Kemosabee.

Publicus
The international meme, I would say. The mortality almost entirely involves older folks, those who precisely don't have naturally occurring vitamin D build up. Ever notice that? Same with chronically ill folks whose bodies can't produce the necessary vitamin D, and other elements that naturally enhance the immune system. Such unfortunates, by definition, can't get out in the sun and soak up a few rays, can they?

John Q.
Well, whatever. So YOU say. I for one can't hardly wait to get my vaccine, so I can stop worrying. Maybe get out a bit, live again. I know they're dangling that as bait, but I can't help it. I'm going insane with lockdowns.

Publicus
Fauci says you can't stop worrying, though; that you have wear masks and social distance until next year. I think he's a fraud but whatever, that's certainly what he's saying.

John Q.
I'm sure he's not saying that, 'cause it wouldn't make any sense! Why vaccine then? And anyway, when are YOU going to get YOUR vaccine?

Publicus
I myself can't recommend vaccination to any of my friends, whatever their ages. I sure won't take it myself.

John Q.
Okay, don't do it then. But leave the rest of us alone. We want to save Granny!
(They had come up to the second poster board, which sported a large computer drawing of a smiling elderly woman with grey hair, giving the "thumbs up" signal. Under the caption the slogan read: "Save Granny!"

Publicus
Speaking of saving people, you know that world-wide, these vaccines have killed a good few people. I think about 2,000 now, isn't it? Probably more. In the U.S. it is officially just under 2,000. And there's a lot of reporting of bad side-effects. It would seem logical if something makes you sick when first introduced to you, it will make you sick later, as well. Maybe, maybe not. It is a possibility, though. These things are extremely complicated meds, highly machined and calibrated bio-weapons, in fact. They're like hired gunslingers, and they're supposed to kill on the bad guys, magically. And they've only be authorized for emergency use. It takes a year or so at least for any serious testing of them to be completed.

John Q.
I can't wait a year!

Publicus
Compare the rush to use these vaccines with what they done with the long-standing, cheap Lysosomotropic drugs such as Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin. These have been around for ages, the former from the 1940s and the latter from 1975. And the powers-that-be hemmed and hawed and delayed their use and delayed their use, tested and tested again, and now finally they're being used to....

John Q.
I can't wait any longer! I want the vaccine! 'Cause, mainly, I want to get out and about, yeah, but still! So, they can just give me the vaccine and I'll be on my way....

Publicus
Remember there's no one vaccine: there are several, and they're quite different, too. Then look at Europe: what is available in Hungary, for instance, is usually the Russian one or the Chinese. I think it would be utter madness to take either, though propagandists are now saying these are healthier than the Western ones. Who knows? The Western European authorities are talking about not recognizing these vaccines for travel permits. But then again, the Western ones are themselves having a lot of problems, as well. So, it is a complete mess.

John Q.
(Piously) "To make an omlet, you have to break a few eggs!"

Publicus (eyes rolling)
And of course just as there is no one vaccine, there is no one virus. The virus in Italy and then New York City was remarkably different in how it acted than the one in California, the one that was directly derived from China. The people in Wuhan were supposed to be collapsing in the streets, but we never saw that pathology here. In short, there may be completely different viruses, actually, when you realize that their so-called "isolated" virus came from very few people.

John Q. (Walking on.)
Oh, c'mon! That's CAN'T be true! Even I can see how that wouldn't....

Publicus (Following him.)
It is, though. Maybe by now it isn't just one,of course. It's like a handful. And of course they used "laboratory culture" to "isolate" it, which involves mixing it with other bio-material, and then stressing it out, starving it, a whole host of things. The actual, formal, true isolation process takes a long time and involves getting samples from at least a thousand dispersed individuals. In that sense, you probably don't know this, but I've read where the chicken pox and Herpes viruses have been truly isolated, but measles and HIV have never been isolated. SARS-CoV-2 hasn't been, either, needless to say.

John Q.
But all those scientific papers?!?

Publicus
All those endless "scientific" papers in the last couple of years that affirm the virus has been isolated, if you read the "Methods" section, each and all say "laboratory culture" mixture and they almost all work from the original single sample. 

John Q.
But medical scientists wouldn't lie to us!

Publicus
Ever hear of lobotomies? Using mercury to fight illness? And I'm not talking a long time ago, as late as the 1930s they used drugs with mercury, one of the most poisonous elements for humans on the planet. I won't even mention the standard way they used to deal with breast cancer. Or look at the current sex-change craze; that’s lobotomies all over again. When the fad is over, the mess remains.

John Q.
That was then!

Publicus
And they had mercury loaded into children's vaccines until the '60s! As a preservative. Mercury! Until someone took the time to add up the mercury doses and broadcast the alarm, so they stopped using mercury – haha, and they started using aluminum!!!! Insane! AND they didn't withdraw the mercury vaccines, but let them be slowly used up. Waste not, want not.

John Q.
I don't believe it. That's just too weird.

Publicus
Look it up. Your Allopathic medicine too often treats life as the machine philosophy of Descartes called for, I think.

John Q.
We put "de cart" before the horse, eh?

Publicus
Haha, yeah. Just dump more wrenches and bolts and screwdrivers into the engine and it will run better. But life is far too dynamic for that. An
RNA virus like a coronavirus, if it infects you and makes you (in some degree ill) and you pass it on to someone else, that virus isn't the exact same as the one that entered you. They mutate VERY fast! So we end up chasing a moving, mutating target with one (or a handful) of vaccines – clearly, it's a wild-goose chase. We can't "catch up", and there'll be "booster shots" every year – maybe sometimes twice a year – for eternity. It's like an insane merry-go-round you can't get off of.

John Q.
Er...well, I have heard of the booster shot business. But surely....

Publicus
Also, ever notice how they'll say, "This vaccine in 95 percent effective" as if that's a good thing? There's FIVE PERCENT of the viri that shrug off the vaccine, and you can be sure that's the variety that will survive and multiply, forcing yet ever more vaccines – vaccines for ever and ever and ever.

John Q.
Well, I know they have that exact problem with antibiotics. But, well, whatever it takes.

Publicus
You live in fear. I find myself disgusting, actually, to be honest, in that I am, in my own small way, adding to the fear porn. "Fear the vaccine!" "Fear the cure!" But fear....

John Q.
I don't fear the virus, but I take it seriously, as should everyone. I'm just careful. I'm usually holed up at home, in my own Fortress of Solitude, seeing no one, except the people who bring me my food. 

Publicus
I see you are not wearing a mask nowadays, however. Why not? Does that make smoking easier?

John Q.
Even I could see the mask biz was bogus, Publicus. You've got viruses and bacteria that normally reside in your head, in the nose and mouth. Even fungi. They don't normally get into the lungs. But a mask collects those and won't let them disperse in the normal way, and so you breathe them back into your lungs, after they've had time to concentrate! You know I've been a smoker for decades, so I read up on this. If you have compromised lungs, asthma, COPD, if your a smoker like me, the mask can easily set you up for serious infections, and not from coronavirus but from things that normally live in your mouth and nose but do NOT belong in your lungs. Not to mention how it cuts down on your oxygen intake and uptakes, seriously uptakes, your CO2 levels.

Publicus
Wow, I'm impressed! A lot of bad pathology with these masks, right? But I would say one has to take one's health seriously, in the sense of knowing what a human's immune system needs (vitamin D, zinc, and so on). Do that and whatever causes illness can be kept at bay. But did you know the AMA journal – mainstream publication, absolutely – had an article a while ago stating that annually, about the 128,000 Americans died yearly from the proper-use taking of prescription drugs.

John Q. (Coming to a street corner, he turns onto a new street and walks down that sidewalk.)
So, they messed up their dosages.

Publicus (Walking with John Q.)
No, it was about people who PROPERLY used their meds.

John Q.
Well, that's not too many, if you think about it.

Publicus
We lost 55,000 men in Vietnam. Abut the same again in Korea, a little less. So annually, more Americans die of proper drug use than in either of those wars. That's simply staggering!

John Q.
So, what's your point? I'm still taking the vaccine!

Publicus
I'm trying to show how our Allopathic medicine system is almost certainly prescribing too many drugs. It is a drug-heavy medical culture, mostly consisting of looking up your problems on a list, checking what the list says are the drugs you should take for whatever illness they think you've got, and that's that.

It is certainly over-relying on vaccines. Did you know that over two hundred or so new vaccines are "in the works" of the "Big Pharma" giants?

John Q.
That many? Why?

Publicus
They're producing vaccines for just about everything imaginable, and they have been working (not so much the past couple of decades) on a vaccine for cancer! Since the Nixon Administration! In any event, they are definitely gearing up now! They seem to be "set for life", with a perpetual market of a population apparently in need of ceaseless new vaccines, producing an ever growing number of vaccines for the world's population. Job security. But that simply can't possibly remotely be good for the human immune system. It's throwing endless wrenches into the gearbox. Common sense would dictate the system will be pushed and pulled and stomped on till the gearbox truly crashes.

John Q.
Yeah, job security for them, that's for sure. Well, though, you know, if we need the meds....

Publicus
But like I say, can that simply can't possibly be at all good for the human immune system, John Q? Doesn’t common sense suggest there’s a limit? Surely it will stretch our immune system till it snaps. And here's something else to consider, something I never see discussed except by those who question the entire vaccine regimen. Every year, there are more vaccines we are supposed to take, and as noted, right? A LOT more are in the pipeline. Vaccines, vaccines, vaccines. Kids are just soaked in vaccines, and now adults. In fact, governments are clearly going to implement a world-wide vaccine regimen where you can't get a passport or travel without taking vaccines. You can't even get a driver's license in Argentina without "showing your papers" about your vaccination history.

John Q.
That'll never happen. Or if it does, so what?

Publicus
It's happening now, though, here and there. In China, surely. So, what? The obvious observation to make, John Q., is that Western Allopathic Medicine is apparently determined to "vaccinate" the population, over and over again, against an endless variety – and an apparently ever growing variety – of viral or bacterial threats in the biodome we somehow evolved in. But how could the human race have evolved and existed on this planet in such an apparently poisonous "biodome" for the last million years or so? When anyone takes such a long view of this distinctive pattern, a "30,000 feet" view, it looks stark-raving insane. It's a merry-go-round we can never get off of.

John Q.
Maybe. Maybe not. Nothing lasts forever, does it? I don't care. I live my my cats and my dog. I really don't want to know about all this. Er, well...the masks, yeah, that was bogus.

(They come to yet another vaccine poster, this one covering a three-story wall, a huge computer drawing of super-healthy kids with super-smiles, all wearing masks and giving the thumbs up. They both gaze at it for a moment.)

Publicus
Ugh. We're now in 1930s Germany or Russia. (Sighs.)

John Q.
It is, even I must admit, eerily similar.

Publicus
I, too, don't mind being alone. However, it is hell and death for most people. Suicides are through the roof, domestic violence, depression, pornography, alcoholism and drug use, you name it. Society is crumbling under this suffocating security-blanket lockdown regime. It's like committing suicide to keep from dying, or the famous "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."

John Q.
Sounds familiar. So, you're saying the same idiots that gave us Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan are...well, whatever.

Publicus
Ultimately, and call me a conspiracy theorist if you must, but ultimately what I'm saying is that all we've been experiencing for the past year and more is just too stupid and extreme NOT to be intentional. It has to be planned. So, I'm ready to join Dr. Delores Cahill and her World Freedom Alliance because....

Beware, though, Publicus. Beware! Too much knowledge is a burden. You're like the Lovecraft investigator who learns too much, and goes mad. (John Q. chants) "Yog-Sothoth is the key." (Back to normal, he says) Yet true or not, there's not a damned thing either of us an do about it.

Publicus
So, the unexamined life isn't worth living, or perhaps, you're saying, not possible to survive in.

Excuse me, citizens. This street has a medical facility. Why aren't you wearing your masks? Let's see your papers, please.

English doctor Malcolm Kendricks writes two must-read articles about Covid

 Amici, a Chairde,

As more and more people receive their Covid "vaccines", I shudder at the idea in horror I'm over 60, have COPD, and after a close reading of many of the various issues, arguments, ideas and counter ideas about Covid over the past year, believe me when I say you'd have to literally shoot me to take on of these things, injecting it into me after being shot. Why? I was trained as a journalist, worked off and on in that profession, worked mainly as a textbook writer/researcher, and then nine years as a technical writer, and I can say I do know how to research things, to relook at what the people on top are saying and to ferret out those who are pushed aside, down, and out because they disagree with the grand poobahs. And of course to always and ever weigh the "minority report" evidence.

Over the past year I've tried to pass on some of what I've learned to you. Here are just a few more, for the record.

Regarding a 'minority report' mindset, here's a great debate at an interesting site for lockdown sceptics.
An excerpt:
Lockdown sceptics have made all kinds of important, well-reasoned, fact-based arguments against the lockdowns and other restrictions that have been imposed upon us. The problem of ‘deaths with’ COVID-19; the many issues with the accuracy of PCR tests; the inflation of the IFR; the comparisons to other diseases; the excess death charts; the fact that the NHS is always nearly overwhelmed every year. None of it has cut through, because most people just don’t respond to fact-based argument. They respond to what they consider to be the moral truth. More importantly, they really don’t respond to fact-based argument if that would mean owning up to being immoral and abnormal. If in order to change your mind you have to become a pariah, then human psychology 101 provides a quick answer: you won’t change your mind.

Second – and this is an even bitterer pill, perhaps the bitterest of all – we have the failure of our liberty-based arguments. We have made all kinds of appeals to freedom and civil liberties during the past year. But the brute fact is that most people apparently couldn’t give two hoots about freedom when the chips are down. Security and safety are what matter. The moral truth for our compatriots is not that the Government rode roughshod over our liberties this year. The moral truth for them is that the Government justifiably deprived us of our liberties to keep us safe – and we’re grateful for it. We can bemoan this and debate the reasons for it all we like. But it’s the world in which we live.
An P again:
I highly recommend the whole article. The lockdown problem is especially acute in the UK, which has had the biggest economic collapse in 300 years. Suicides, domestic violence, depression and mental disorders galore must be resulting. It is simply insane.

Recently, I've come across an excellent essay on Covid (with many graphs) by an English doctor named Malcolm Kendrick. Kendrick has signed many a death certificate, and insists that one cannot often cannot really be sure of a cause of death (outside of accidents or crime, obviously). It gets murky, particularly with older folks, the population segment most likely to die "of Covid". Kendrick's bottom line, like so many others I have read, is to look at the national mortality rate for the past few years to see when (or if) there's been a "spike" in the death rate. In his essay, Kendrick writes: "Thus, I have tended to look to EuroMOMO. The European Mortality Monitoring project that detects and measures excess number of deaths related to viruses across many countries in Europe."

He documents his research with many graphs, of Europe itself, and then of individual countries. Two things are evident: there's been no spike in average mortality rates except one occurring about April of 2020, when there definitely was one, but otherwise, nothing. This is so crucial for everyone interested in Covid to understand, but few seem to care. The second thing is different countries vary greatly in many details, but again, overall, there's not much difference between the countries (even Sweden) when averaged out.

Then, in a second essay on Kendrick's blog, he looks at the U.S. stats and ten of the countries with the highest death rates. In the U.S. states, states that didn't lockdown have no more "Covid-related" deaths than the national average, while certain heavily locked-down states (NY, NJ) have much higher death rates than the average (which as NY's governor Cuomo seems about to be impeached for "bad Covid behavior", seems to be because of state government actions).

While Kendrick stresses what we don't really know about Covid and the mortality it has caused, the bottom line is he insists all this mass panicking is stupid and will only set the precedent for even worse panic in some future contagion. All-in-all, a "must read" pair of articles if you are interested remotely in Covid.

Unfortunately, the first essay (the one with the graphs) is at the RT site, which many insist is a Russian propaganda site. If you don't mind that, check it out, herehttps://www.rt.com/op-ed/511467-covid-confusion-deaths-lockdown/

Otherwise, refer to Dr. Kendrick's blog and this essay, "Does Lockdown Work, Or Not?", he writes about his RT article and how the fact-checkers RT employed kept challenging him, but RT published it in the end. Also in his blog, Kendrick discusses two medical ideas that became sacrosanct for decades before being abandoned: i.e., radical mastectomies for breast cancer in women and enforced bed rest for those surviving heart attacks. Both ideas were wrong, but were, for decades, considered self-evident, etc. (This reminds me of the infamous Lysenko in Soviet Russia, whom Stalin decided was the oracle of all things agricultural, and it also reminds me of the Eugenics craze, which was so big in the U.S. in the 1920s – Hitler himself wrote a "fan letter" to an American Eugenicist. Both of these ideas, as were the two Kendrick mentions, false. But it took decades for that to be revealed.)

Finally, in his blog article, Dr. Kendrick's points out a study of the ten countries with the highest death rates all locked down early (March, 2020) and the lockdowns had no effect of the death rate. In his RT article, he says that while he can't know for certain (and no one can), he thinks Covid-19 is "About as deadly as the influenzas of 1957 and 1967, probably."

Anyway, I pass this information along. At least you can't say you weren't informed.

Finally, there's on further essay at RT worth reading (if you dare to read anything at RT) by an Irish writer. The author is Peter Andrews: "Peter Andrews, Irish science journalist and writer based in London. He has a background in the life sciences, and graduated from the University of Glasgow with a degree in genetics." The gist of this one is that as it is obvious the various governmental authorities are going to keep with the lockdowns in the UK, Ireland, and in Europe (in the U.S., Biden is saying masks must be worn through 2021, etc.). Andrews argues references Dr. Kendricks (this is how I found Kendricks, actually) and the failure of logic and reason in dealing with "Covid Inc", and advocates refusing to play along any longer. "But enough is enough. It is time to draw a line in the sand and refuse to comply with their diktats any longer."

But in a world where, as we see in the U.S., utterly illegal actions (Congress trying a man in an "impeachment" when he's out of office, etc., and 57 high officials can vote "guilty" upon no evidence at all) occur with official sanction, nothing might work. But there's always hope. Two governors of U.S. states have fulfilled campaign promises to lift "mask mandates" (i.e. the new governor of Montana and Iowa governor)

If people don't "push back", this is how we'll end up:

Is the Reichstag Fire Coup well underway?

 Amici,

Remember the old adage, 'You can vote Socialism in, but you have to shoot it out.'

We are seeing incredible events play out in the U.S. Unheard of, never-before-seen trashings of the Bill of Rights and, well, sanity. I don't know how much longer we'll have the internet with which to communicate to one another for, my friends, the Reichstag Fire Coup is very well underway. Reports are coming in from various American Nationalist sites of massive "lockouts" affecting people from Twitter, Facebook, Instragram and the like, and endless talk of re-education camps and mass extermination of Trump supporters. (Sound absurd? Look what happened to the Jews in Germany – they just couldn't believe that lunatic Hitler with his silly moustache would do anything he said he would – and remember: Germany was the most 'advanced' country in Europe at that time.)

And has not the Political Director of ABC News Talked about "'Cleansing' America of Trump Supporters"? Doesn't that sound like Hitler "cleansing the world of Jews"? Was the guy immediately fired? Hmmm?

All absolute insanity, and utterly, utterly unAmerican and antiAmerican (for American citizens who haven't shut down their brains, it has to be a horror). The First Amendment is being trashed. The Second will soon follow, and that will involve perhaps a true shooting war. But how will we ever know? Unless we're in it.

Right now, one can't be sure one is "shadow banned" or not. I'm sure I'm far too mucn a "small fry" to be noticed, and I've never signed up on Twitter, etc. But Twitter has banned a slew of people, not just high-focus folk like President Trump, Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, but "moderates" like Kevin McCullough. Just incredible. McCullough has been saying "Big Tweet" has been out to get him, and it has. Eric Metaxas writes that although he's still able to post on Twitter, he's losing "thousands" of followers by the hour. That's a classic tactic, of course before one is banned. Taylor Marshall reported the same thing. They're Twitter or YouTube days are numbered. I see Charlie Kirk is still up on Twitter, with him posting yesterday:
"Ayatollah Khamenei is still allowed on Twitter & Instagram but Donald Trump is not. Think about that."
Indeed. One doesn't need to think long, does one?

An excerpt:

The justification itself is so bizarre it is Orwellian in nature.  Interpreting the thoughts of a person to determine their violation….  Good grief, you cannot get much more twisted and subjective than that.   This is an alarming statement and directly indicates the Big Tech systems will now define subversive activity.

President Trump sent the following response from his POTUS account, which Twitter quickly took down – (but not until we captured it).



An Préachán again:
No one, NO ONE, can say any of this is good. No one sane, that is. It's insane. What sort of lunatic believes Trump egged on Antifa/BLM to attack the Capitol, or failing that idiocy, who believes a bunch of Born-Again Christians were murdering and looting, for any reason in any location? C'mon.

So, what next? Well, if they are following the Reichstag Fire pattern, and they seem to be, then the sky's the limit. I've gone over to Parler and found Kevin McCullough there, and he's quote Dilbert creator Scott Adams, who wrote, '2020 “was the year the Fake News became so powerful they could tell you there was definitely no election fraud because you aren’t allowed to check. And it worked.”'

There was no election fraud because you weren't allowed to check.

It worked indeed.

Important to remember, of course, is the words of Christ about such times:
And fear not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28

Why silence Trump on his way out?
Some, such as Rush Limbaugh, suggest our Puppet Masters are afraid Trump will release hidden documents proving just how bad the Democrats have been, and their interaction and dependence on Chinese Communists. Blog comments on such articles are evenly divided between those who still hold out hope on Trump, and the rest who think he's folding fast. We'll see.

But it is imperative for the Left to demonize Trump and expel him before Potemkin Biden is "sworn in" (in apparently a virtual ceremony, or so rumor has it). We're in for a crazy fortnight, or what's left of it. Then begins "The Darkness" where we're in total lockdown and national mask mandates (a possibility, citing Covid as a reason); will the excellent governors of South Dakotka and Florida tell them to go to Hell? We'll see.

If the internet "goes dark", we can be sure very clever people are working to keep some semblence of communiation possible. It'll be a true Samizdat. The entire "pajamas media" began, remember, when the MainStream Media was promoting that slam Texas National Guard story on George W. Bush during the 2004 election, and average, everyday people, the "Deplorables" of Hillary Clinton, got online and started searching and communicating their findings, completely blindsiding the Left.

Martyrdom
Perhaps something like that will happen again. In the meantime, remember, martyrdom takes many forms, and I expect the version of that the Left has in store for us will be a giant, perpetual, "psych ops". Look at how much you already can't say. What public person, sports star, film star, etc., could say, "Forcing or even allowing 'sex change' procedures on children is horrific child abuse and is literally nothing but a mass sterilization of our children."? That's absolutely verboten. The mask mandates are just a physical manifestation of the larger shutting up of an entire traditional moral world. The Covid restrictions and mask mandates are part and parcel of that.

Please review these three articles by psychological expert Patrick Fagan about what mask mandates are all about.
May God bless all who seek Him, in life and death.
