So listen, I don’t want to sound uncharacteristically somber and serious, nor do I want people to think I’m a total conspiratress. I am you know, I do love a good conspiracy theory. The problem being this isn’t a “theory,” it’s simply common sense. So, I just want to say, those who are waiting patiently for things to “get back to normal,” it ain’t happening. It ain’t going to happen.
Those who seem to believe if we just comply enough, just cooperate enough, just do everything they say, (wear your mask you idiot, so we can all open back up again) it ain’t going to happen.
If you’re waiting for covid 19 to go away, it aint going to happen either. We could get down to no cases anywhere and there’s another “pandemic” right around the corner waiting for us. The media is already on it.
Government and public health officials are already trying to say we’re going to have to wear masks for years, certainly until we get a mandatory vaccine. Beside, flu season is coming this fall……
Never in the history of ever has anyone in government voluntarily relinquished power over others that they have managed to attain. The only way to get our freedom back is to stop playing the game, stop the charades, and stop buying into the fear. We have to say “no,” and we have to say it somewhat collectively. None of this can continue without our consent.
I’m pleading with Christians who are just sitting there quietly accepting a ban on singing in church. C’mon on people, some part of you knows this is not okay. The power of life and death is in our tongues, it says that in the Bible. If we believe those words, if the singing we do actually means something, then we have to realize that shutting down churches, mandating we all wear masks, and telling us it’s too dangerous to sing our praises, are all huge red flags.
I’m pleading with everyone who has ever felt the “benevolent” hand of government, anyone who still carries trauma from those experiences. C’mon people, we all know what this is. It smells just like history trying to repeat itself. It’s a power play.
We flattened the curve! Heck, we shut down unused field hospitals and laid people off from our hospitals. We did not get our freedom back. We shut our businesses down, we bought the hand sanitizer, we put on the masks, and we stayed home and we still did not get our freedom back. It aint going to happen. Freedom once taken is not something you just “get” back. There will be no passively sitting around and waiting for our freedom to be politely returned to us once we’ve met all the requirements.
We met the requirements. So they just moved the goal posts. They will continue to do so.
We aren’t going to “get” our freedom back, like it will just be passively and nicely returned to us based on our compliance. That is a big lie, a total deception, and has never happened anywhere, in the history of ever. Frankly, I’m a bit embarrassed people still believe that. Not even God Himself, and He is Holy, just, and perfect, just “gives” us freedom. He may open the door to our prison, tear down the walls, and coax us out, but even then we have to walk out under our own steam. Or crawl. Whatever works. The point being, it is extremely rare we ever get anything without first opening our hand and reaching out for it.
Jan 22, 2020 is when all of this began in my state. We are going on seven months now! 7 months. A quarantine is for the sick, not the healthy, and it should last about two weeks. To quarantine the healthy is simply tyranny.
Such notions often put me at odds with friends, family, even some churches. The problem being, I know I’m right, I know that everything I see points in the direction I am observing. We get our freedom back when we stop voluntarily consenting to hand it over. That easy, that simple.
Happy Independence Day!

Each person can secure their own salvation by trusting in the Son of God and His promise of redemption. This world is destined to be melted down with fervent heat and burned up and annihilated and replaced with a New Heaven and a New Earth. But it is natural for a normal person to want something more than that. I believe we are not yet at the end of the age, in the sense that God is still willing to hear our sincere and heartfelt prayers for earthly deliverance, if we will humble our selves and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways and stop being the way we have been being.
The thought that has struck me for a while is that the coming of the Great Tribulation seems to be a deliberate choice, and not something that just comes arbitrarily out of nowhere for no particular reason. People are, like, willfully demanding that God come down here and pull out our plug.
So, what I’m saying is, if we can find it in our hearts to get down on our knees and pray the II Chronicles 7:14 prayer, and mean it, we just might convince God that we are worthy of better than this ignominious destruction at the hands of these leftist SJW @$$clowns and other psychotic demon infested winged monkey servants of Satan with which we have to contend.
If not, then, we are each of us left to be saved individually, with no collective or national salvation. This is the reason that I’m not worried about me, but I am worried about everybody else.

Remember Anton La Vey, the guy who wrote the popular book, “The Satanic Bible?” I read the 1st half of that book when I was a teenager, because I was interested in religion and philosophy and cultural anthropology, and noticed that it was basically the Playboy Philosophy; the 2nd half of the book was spells which I was not interested in.
But my point is that Anton La Vey was a L.A.R.P.-er, L.A.R.P.-ing around in a black hooded cape, making a nice living selling fools the BS that they craved.
George Jackson the black terrorist said that “Marxism is my hustle.” He was L.A.R.P.-ing as a Revolutionary and making a nice living.
These spoiled rich kids are L.A.R.P.-ing as well; they say burn it all down, but, if there’s not the right amount of whipped crème in their latté they’ll throw a tantrum.

II Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ”
See how this is a collective prayer, and not a prayer about an individual seeking personal forgiveness?
Each of us must bear our own burden, and we should all bear one another’s burdens. We must each of us secure and establish our own personal salvation for our individual soul, but, we must also concern ourselves with our families, friends, communities, and nations, if we want to be doing God’s will in our lives.
The victory is God’s, but the fight is ours. Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord.

Our governor is just insane. 90 days in jail, thousand dollar fine for not wearing a mask, and you can’t engage in any commerce without one, including a drive through window at the bank. They are poorly written laws that probably wouldn’t stand up to a legal challenge and many cops are declining to participate in mask debates, but still very draconian. Worse, he’s made businesses liable, so (mostly) minimum wage employees now have to police the general public as cops, social workers, and crisis counselors enforcing mask mandates. The threats to shut down what few businesses are trying to operate is pretty intense.

To quarantine the healthy is simply tyranny.
1. I am not aware that anyone is being asked to quarentine but those who test C19-positive, or those “unknowns” who come to a new city / state / country (If you were the mayor of a city, I’m sure you would want to know whether vistors were ill before you let them mingle with your voters.)
2. Re. the quote I placed at the top of this post: activities and movement are being curtailed because we do not know who the healthy are. Surely you can understand that. Assume: you are healthy. You have intimate contact with someone who appears healthy (asymptomatic), but is actually C19-positive. You stay healthy but carry the virus back to other folks with compromised immune systems. They get sick and die. We live in an imperfect world. Because of this, solutions are bound to be imperfect. The scenario presented in this Point 2 is not just possible, it is probable. So there needs to be a defense against that happening, however imperfect that defense might be. I assume that if you were convinced that this scenario was going to happen to you tomorrow, you would do all you could to avoid the person who appears healthy but who will infect you so that you kill the folks with the compromised immune systems. Trouble is – we can’t know in all cases who is healthy and who is not just by looking at them.
3. Masks are not meant to protect the wearer. They are meant to protect those who come into the vicinity of the wearer. The transaction at the bank drive through: are there any buttons that the customer must push, or covers the customer must push out of the way in order to make a deposit or accept cash? Simply talking to the banker out of your car window can cause droplets containing the virus to be spewed from your mouth and onto surfaces that will be touched by the customer behind you. Masks don’t reduce this spewing to zero, but they do reduce the spewing significantly.
4. Singing (church) and shouting (church or riots) expell droplets containing the virus much farther than normal talking. So, if there are any folks singing (church) or shouting (riots) that are infected with C19, they will spew their virus over many more people than they would if they were just talking (or not talking). Restricting singing and shouting for a time is not an unreasonable response to not knowing which congregations or riots are going to have asymptomatic folks spewing forth many droplets containing the virus.
5. I do not see the word “insurance” in this thread. Nor do I see that word in any of the multitude of articles written about the C19 problem that I’ve read. But the insurance issue looms large over governments (and big business) everywhere. I am certain that the lawsuits are coming. State and local governments (and businesses) are going to be sued out of existance for failing to protect the citizens of said government from the ravages of C19. Those places who sent C19 folks from the hospital straight to the nursing homes are going to be hit particularly hard in the pocketbook. In anticipation of these lawsuits (and wanting their liability insurance to cover any payouts), state and local governments are covering their a**es by all of the social distancing edicts they are decreeing. When the lawsuits come, they can point to their decrees for social distancing as reasons why they should be found innocent of the charges in the lawsuites (or why the insurance company(s) should pay up). Defending themselves against the coming lawsuits is a better explanation for what has been going on than simply assuming that it is a power grab.

Our “governments” are not imposing their China-virus policies because they care about us, they’re doing everything in order to condition us to mindlessly follow their orders, like a form of hypnosis, and to establish themselves as the only ones allowed to do any thinking or decision making in the world.

Note that insanitybytes22 points to the harm being done to our churches. The social distancing rules were never appropriately applied to the churches.

It all depends on what sources of information you listen too, but not only that because any source can get sucked in to BS. The use of being totally unbiased, using logic and good sensible investigation is critical for finding the facts, but unfortunately many people will jump to conclusions.
For example, I would not believe anti malaria pills taken by your crazy president would combat the coronavirus because there was no creditable scientific research that supported his claim and that fact was broadcast around the world on creditable sources and thus it was a logical conclusion that it was a stupid idea, but unfortunately an additional 300,000 sucked in Americans and many other world wide suckers received a prescription for anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine.
I also do not believe the ultra rich, the rulers or elite in society or any scientists and government agenda’s will be responsible for the corona virus or anything secretive related to it. Of course I could change my mind because like most people I do not completely trust anybody who is in a position of power, but only if evidence can establish what the real facts are.
Vaccine conspiracies are responsible for recent resurgences of vaccine-preventable diseases, whereas children have been successfully vaccinated for decades and no creditable study has linked them to long term health conditions. Scientists have dispelled the myths many times. Investigation and plain common sense must prevail over indoctrinated ideals you would think.

As far as I can understand you believe the rest of the world is communist including myself, and I am sorry to disappoint you but I am no fan of any politician. I only judge them on their competency to run the country, but obviously that is not one of the standards or principles you look for.
The comments you made are the sort of fantastical tirade I expect from a conspiracist and one who wishes to ignore the toilet that their country may unfortunately be slowly disappearing into.

You have 60,500 new cases of COVID-19 in one day, a new record. Your country at this rate is never going to get out of the hole unless you all support healthy behaviours, if this means wearing a mask to help prevent the spread of virus and keeping social distancing I think you should start taking it seriously.

Did they? I didn’t know that, and it makes me go “hhhmmm.”
You may be slightly interested to know that just this morning I heard someone being interviewed on the radio, some sports coach, talking about his players “physical distancing” at practice. Maybe the bad guys are a bit sensitive to getting caught and being outed when they abuse the language? It was the first I’d heard the term used not in the context of comparing it to the “social distancing” verbiage. Word’s lives matter.

Words ARE chosen to suit ideology. “Social distancing ” was deliberately chosen by people who knew perfectly well what the implications were and were advised by numerous experts in the field to change it to “physical distancing.” I bore witness to much of that debate, just a few short months ago. That is not a conspiracy, that is not ignorance on their part, and it was no accident. If the two phrases meant the same thing, if it didn’t really matter, they would not have fought so hard to keep their “social distancing” terminology.

The answer is that people need to have their own mind so they can think for themselves and evaluate the various statements they are subjected to objectively and independently.
I’ve found it helpful to think that everything the news media and politicians and all authorities in general if B.S., such that if I wanted to know what the truth actually was I would have to figure it out for my self. Whether the issue is politics, philosophy, science, theology, whatever, I have taken responsibility for making up my own mind, after performing an investigation. There are a lot of things I haven’t figured out, but, I’m comfortable being an agnostic about things I haven’t been able to figure out.
One thing is for sure, though, and that is that the powers that shouldn’t be lie like rugs all the time about everything and cannot be trusted. Even when they tell the truth about some isolated fact it is only for the purpose of more effectively manipulating their victims.

You stated, to quarantine the healthy is simply tyranny.
In retrospect, I agree with you that once we knew how it was transmitted, we should have made it a choice between wise or foolish behavior and management, especially in nursing homes or families with elderly household members.
.
Sadly though, the USA makes very limited use of the 3000-year-old observations of wise King Solomon.
Instead of wise and prudent, we focus on teaching Rights.’
For example, if someone decides their health is at risk, they should wisely make use of mask and keeping their hands sterilized and quarantine themselves.
And if a private enterprise wants to mandate masked for customers to prevent unmasked possibly infected customers from infecting other customers, that is their Right. Some stores in my area limited hours for the elderly, most susceptible which was wise and considerate.
We need school choice or school vouchers to focus on teach discernment of wise of foolish so they understand how to manage Rights, and Wrongs in their lives, families, and communities.
Frankly, also in retrospect, the main reason the government-imposed quarantines in my opinion was the foolish decision to allow 90 percent of PPE and N95 masks to be outsourced to China instead of the USA.
They quarantined travel to and from specific area and made everyone wear masks because they are a Communist Country and of course bought out all the masks supplies when they first became aware of the pandemic.

Does anybody else but me see that The Mask – or more accurately the *absence* of one – has become a perverse Star of David?
It’s pretty slick, if you ask me. Now we can all tell at a glance who is compliant and who is a dirty dissenter!
And I’m really, really tired of being told we have to wear one because, Science!
Who’s *science* are we talking about exactly? Are we talking about the data that indicates that The Covid is roughly as virulent as the flu with a similar death rate of less than 0.1%? Do you know anyone who caught the flu – just the plain, old, garden variety – last year? Probably, right? Know anyone who contracted The Covid? I don’t know anyone personally who got it. Not a single person. And I doubt you do either.
The pandemic is OVER. Yes, we will likely see a resurgence in the fall when cold and flu season kicks in, but we now know how to manage the risk and prevent our healthcare system from becoming overwhelmed.
Science, actual data, indicates that it was the initial, basic precautions we took – shutting down the borders to keep out the sick, frequent handwashing, and isolating those with already compromised immune systems – were the most effective at flattening the curve. I wish I had the graphic available to show you, but you can see the infection rate forms a perfect bell curve, and if you line up the dates of further protective measures – the lockdown, banning large crowds, and now the mandatory masks – you’ll find they all came AFTER the curve began to fall, making it nearly impossible to determine what effect, if any, these later measures actually had.
Look, if wearing The Mask was really about protecting health then there would be stipulations about what sort of masks are acceptable. Medical masks only filter what you’re breathing out and industrial style ones only filter what’s coming in. And of course if you think tying a filthy rag over your gob is gonna protect you, you’re seriously stupid.
‘Member I told you I had a stash of N95s – you know, the masks that *actually* work – “just in case”? Still haven’t worn one, lol, and now that it’s mandatory, I’ve taken my stand.
I will not put on my Star of David like a good little Jew. (And that is no offense to our Jewish friends, who obviously had little choice in the matter.)
Nope. I will not comply. I dissent and so long as I continue to have the right to dissent, I’m going to exercise it.
And if I absolutely must comply, I intend to stick a big old maxipad over my face. Hey, there are no stipulations as to what constitutes a “proper” face covering, and it can’t be any worse than a filthy rag, right?

Still really distressing to me is hiking in the middle of nowhere, and seeing people in masks and gloves, outside in the wilderness. People actually drive by alone in their cars here, with the windows rolled up and just glare at me like I’m robbing a liquor store. People have actually stopped, yelled at me, and taken a picture. I just mention it because that kind of behavior is not okay, it is psychologically damaging, and our public health officials and politicians who have created this situation are fully accountable for the harm they are doing.

ourladyofblahblahblah – I really admire your ‘hootspa’ and agree with your take on THE MASK. Until two weeks ago, I knew NO ONE – friend, relative, or personal acquaintance who knew of anyone in their personal circles. Then my friend’s pastor succumbed to the virus, 45 miles from my home. An annual check–up with my doctor revealed that about 100 patients are currently being treated, although NOT hospitalized. Today’s data shows that of the 3992 total cases in my county, only 51 deaths have occurred. That death rate has flat lined since mid-May. The majority of residents here Do Not wear face coverings – except in gov-mandated businesses wear entry is not permitted without THE MASK.
The correlation to WWII Star of David badges is not the only striking similarity to Nazi take over and what is happening in the streets of major cities across America. The push for a national adopting of a ‘new America’, the disrespect & de-funding of police, the elevation of one ‘race’ above others, the closure of religious institutions, and the nearly unabated media support for one political party, ALL should warn of impending revolution aimed at ending traditional values once held in highest esteem among the vast majority of Americans. Like the 2016 election.the choice may well be the lesser of two evils in the minds of many. Nevertheless, today’s ‘change’ is NOT about improving America, as much as destroying it.

Thanks for the encouragement my friend.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of what’s going on up here in Canada, but this summer our country quietly went from a multi-party democracy to a one-party system. Our PM shut down Parliament, refuses to tell us when he will recall it, and is governing without any Opposition (that is, opposing voices from opposition-party members).
That, folks, is what we call totalitarianism.
You know my dad fled East Germany in the 50s to *escape* that totalitarian regime, so I’ll be damned if I voluntarily roll over and put myself under the thumb of yet another petty dictator-wannabe.
Never in my life did I think I would be in this place, where I am forced to oppose my own government. It’s a scary thing, MJ, so outside the realm of my lived experience that I simply don’t know how to respond.
Hence, the mask. It seems like a stupid thing to object to given the wider picture, but it’s just sort of coalesced in my mind as a symbol of conformity…and I just can’t. My conscience simply doesn’t allow me to.
I would never presume to tell others what they should or shouldn’t put on their faces – I leave that up to individual consciences. And of course I’m not a complete a-hole, if I encounter circumstances where it would be wise and prudent to wear a mask – entering a nursing home or hospital, for example – of course I will.
But I will not put on my badge and announce to the world that I am something I’m *not*. The truth is always better than a lie, even if it results in some grief for me along the way.

Wow, you sure pegged it right on the bull’s eye. It’s strange to think that elite banksters would “punk” us but that’s what it is. Their baloney is just too stupid and silly at this point to suppose that they intend us to take it seriously, it’s all about them doing their victory dance, showing off their power and the fact that they think we can’t do anything about it because it’s too late, they won. But I think you’re right, we can do something about it, and seeing them for what they are is the first step towards fixing the problem.
I like to misquote the Borg when it comes to tyranny, “Insistence is futile.”
I also like to quote verbatim the guy on the tv in “They Live,” “Their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness.” If we insist on retaining our consciousness, we win. If we hand over our consciousness, we lose.
Keep in mind that people aren’t handing over their consciousness for nothing. People are trading their consciousness for pleasures and entertainments and status and money and all that sort of rot. Our main enemy truly is people’s love of pleasure and their relative disdain for consciousness.

In practice, businesses would be open again to capacity with people wearing cheap surgical masks with distancing. Personally, however, I have trouble trusting the public when it seems most people don’t even wash their hands. Some areas of the country aren’t taking any precautions whatsoever, and even mock people wearing a mask. The actions needed to be taken aren’t one-size-fits-all, but seriously. It is a real problem, with reports of hospitals getting full again.

So, I haven’t had time to research the entire country, but several hospital administrators in Washington, Florida, and Arizona have now issued statements debunking the media hysteria about “full hospitals.” What many people don’t realize is that our hospitals had such a lack of patients, especially since all non essential medical care was canceled, that they had to lay off workers. 5500 at the UW alone. So when ICU beds are “not available,” that does not mean it is because they are full of covid patients. It often means they reduced the number of beds available because they were not needed. Hospitals like to run pretty close to full as much as possible. They do not just want to staff empty beds. In the absence of patients, they take those beds off line and lay off the personnel to staff them. That leads to a “less beds available” status.
