Masks has turned almost everyone into an “enforcer” at their place of employment. The amount of people to whom this “power” has gone to their heads is telling. Peppa Pig has an episode where the teacher asks each of the children what they want to be when they grow up and they all have a different field but the reason is the same “to tell people what to do.” Covid has given many people’s empty lives some meaning. Ignore them and they flip out. For those that must fly, I understand compliance. Everywhere else, these people need to be ignored. Use the self checkout line, have cash and leave it on the counter if they refuse to serve you. Make them call 911 on the criminal who paid for their merchandise. They key is to remain calm. I know that is a big ask. But the calmer you are, the madder they get. DO NOT COMPLY!
I completely agree. From the first few weeks, as we were stuck at home wondering what was going on, I noticed that all the official communication (led by the media, with politicians following, hoping for good press I guess) was about obedience. Do what we tell you to do. Stay tuned. Stay inside and keep your head down.
My link (next to my name above) goes to journal entries written from as early as March and April of 2020. We knew early on that the outdoors was safe, that sunny warm climates were safe, that old people and obese people faced massively higher risk than everyone else. But the highway billboards said, "Stay home, save a life."
flight attendants who are miltiant maskholes, appear to be "those" who were not paid attention to as children. Maybe they should go get some therapy.... We arent interested in their aggression, or their opinion. Masks are useless, virtue signaling, garbage piling nonsense...
I’m interested in attending a conference. I’m a physician in Kentucky and have been speaking out against the nonsense since the beginning. I’m speaking to the Freedom Caucus today.
Our superstitions come at a huge cost. I flew from Denver to Portland in October, with all the nonstop warnings about masks from flight attendants. Yet when we took off, there was no instruction to raise our windows, which has been a long-standing FAA safety requirement. (If there is a crash, the flight crew needs to see out in order to direct an evacuation.) I flew so much over the years that when we began to pick up speed with all the shades down, my internal alarms went off, even though I'd never given a moment's thought to the shades-up rule before.
I can't count how many times I've heard a person say, after getting COVID, "I can't believe it; I did everything right." The next thing they say is that they always wore a mask. It's not true, since no one wears a mask at home, where transmission occurs, but it's true in the sense that they did what Don Lemon and Fauci wanted them to do, which is wear one while walking through doorways or at a grocery store—anywhere they can be seen by the most people. Everyone who said this, in my experience, believes the headlines and leans blue. They had no idea how the virus transmits.
We have traded actual safety for superstition and performative safety. After all the mask announcements and policing, flight attendants have no time or energy left to focus on the things that save lives. Fauci remains popular on TV because he talks about masks and lockdowns and vaccinations and hand-washing, yet never once about sunlight, moving air, weight loss, or anything else that would help people mitigate risk.
There are patriots here but most are quiet. Inslee’s policies threaten so many’s livelihoods. Know some state workers who have lost jobs and one who died because she let herself be forced to get the jab. Clark, being close to PDX is worse than Cowlitz.
I have to keep my identity cloaked as I have a business and contractual work with the state. I pray this mandate turns around before our contract renews mid year ‘22 or we will be forced to close our business. Move ahead of plans. Take less on the house. Liquidate IRAs. It is an under current of concern while we keep a positive outlook in the meantime.
The airplane arbitrariness is one reason (along with hating to be surrounded by masked people) I've avoided mass transport since this all started. You don't know whether you'll be trapped next to a lockdown scold or hounded by the stewardesses throughout the flight, as AJ was.
It's heartening to hear that the people at the helm of this are a mixed bag politically. That's so desperately needed.
I do wonder and worry about whether or not we are really winning on the vaccine mandate front. Of course, the 5th circuit decisions are absolutely a step in the right direction, but there are people affected by mandates for federal employees, federal contractors, and private businesses who support the Administration, and since those are outside the scope of the OSHA rule, I wonder if those will ever get pared back and what kind of lasting cultural damage they've done.
Single layer option is the best. HOWEVER; we need to NOT COMPLY everywhere we feasibly can. Flying and visiting a loved one at hospital are the only exceptions and we need to fight those as well.
By any chance, are there any of you guys in Mexico? I’ve been living in Spain for a year and although it’s no Sweden, I fear going back to Mexico during a probable “winter surge” that might inflame mass hysteria again. It’s like some people got stuck in the spring or summer of 2020 and are not willing to look outside of their bubble and see data from around the world. Just whichever stories their acquaintances and MSM say. It’s very frustrating trying to picture myself living among that vibe.
"not willing to look outside of their bubble and see data from around the world"
God so much this. Even chief health officers appear completely incapable of consulting the Internet to see if something is happening elsewhere we could learn from without hurting a bunch of people.
Our current example is MOderna stopped for <30 year olds in France, Germany, Taiwan and Nordic countries, yet here we are blithely injecting it into all and sundry ffs
I don't think any of us truly understand what is at stake, what may be required of us in this fight, how long we will have to fight, or what we may lose in the process.
This is not about a virus or health. It never was.
Fear is the means by which they control the useful idiots.
Who are they? What is their goal? What is the endgame?
What do you think of Biden's nominee for comptroller of the currency at the Department of Treasury and her plans for private bank accounts...that align with the WEF/Globalist plans?

It's coming to that for sure.

Insane that we followed policies that stuck people indoors.
Policies that put even more of us into at risk groups by denying us sunshine, fresh air and exercise. I know that I gained weight.

Thanks Molly! Keep it up.
If you are willing to hold a Rational Ground conference here in Victoria, kidnap me and my belongings and smuggle me back to the US, I am all in.
Will do!
Sounds like a true meeting of the minds! So glad to have you and the others standing up for common sense and freedom. Thank you!

What a great idea! Could sure use some encouragement up here in the PNW! SW WA here.
MeriBear: I have a brother near you who has two kids who are 1 and 3 years old. Not sure if you'd want to meet his family, but he is on your side.

I think it is horrific that we are now inured to vaccine-possible death, and can mention it in passing like this.
It is not safe for me to express what I wish to do to the people that allow / demand this vaccine-potential death and injury to occur.
Agree 100%. I never thought I would see this kind of real evil, pretending to be science, medicine, law, government in my lifetime.
"Power corrupts" is proven true yet again.
"Arbitrary rules based on someone's mood..." sums everything up nicely (or not so nicely, based on mood, of course!)
The airplane arbitrariness is one reason (along with hating to be surrounded by masked people) I've avoided mass transport since this all started. You don't know whether you'll be trapped next to a lockdown scold or hounded by the stewardesses throughout the flight, as AJ was.
It really is almost unbearable to fly sometimes. It's a roll of the dice.
P.S. you have a beautiful family! Keep fighting for them (and us!)
Thank you Cheryl. Funny thing... that's only half of them :) - the others are 18, 18, 22, and 24 (blended family)
That is wonderful! <3

The 5th circuit provides a precedent. As long as it holds up it will make a difference.
The 5th circuit ruling* provides a precedent.
Where did you get your cheesecloth mask? Flying at the end of the year on American.
I got a great one here. https://www.getunmask.com/shop

You're assuming that the Public Death Officers want to learn. They don't. They just want to kill.
Thank you for making me feel far less cynical than I thought I was :D
Thank you for all you do Mr. Hart! Especially being based here in California.
Cheers! Thanks for the note.
I would come to a conference. Especially if it was a non-corporate type. An “unconference” if you will.

Why is she Biden's nominee?
Are you awake yet?
