But see, that's not the horrible part. Not even on the scale.

It's all the parents who refused to--who couldn't even imagine--fighting for their kids because the people in their set might exclude them from the in-group.

The whining I saw on Twitter from the journalist set in high-toned neighborhoods about how their kids were suffering but--"hope this will end soon" and a billion variations on that theme--when every one of those people could have afforded to pay a HS kid to tutor their older children in person, or get a nanny for the youngest ones.

Meanwhile the truly economically straitened people were in despair for their children but had no recourse.

I just read a Holocaust survivor's obituary because I clicked through after reading Mike Hagerty's. The family was waiting to be sorted after getting off transport at a concentration camp, and her mother saw in an instant what the two lines meant, and swapped coats with her daughter so the 13 yr. old would look bigger and not be sent immediately to slaughter. The mother and 2 younger kids were sent to the death line. Imagine standing there in that moment and knowing you couldn't save the rest.

This generation of the "educated, elite" class of parents are a disgrace to rats and mice everywhere in the parenting sweepstakes.

i heard Laurie Garrett on a TWIV episode talking about the 1976 swine flu "epidemic." she said that the army over reacted, that the vaccine was hastily rushed out and unnecessary since the soldier in question didn't even die of the swine flu, and that the bad dangerous vaccine was taken off the market after 50 reported deaths and 500 cases of GBS (my cousin's wife spent a year in a wheelchair; i decided i'd take my chances with the flu and have no regrets). BUT, THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT, they all agreed. THIS IS A REAL PANDEMIC AND THESE VACCINES ARE MIRACLES AND EVERYONE SHOULD GET THEM. yeah ok, that's what they said last time. i thought, how brave, Dr. Garrett is to acknowledge the failure of that vaccine program and the damage it caused with 46 years of hindsight to protect her. had she criticized the swine flu vaccine in 1976, she would have lost her job, been censored, pilloried. sorry, Dr Garrett, but courage is telling the truth in the moment, not from a safe place in time.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. Not after Democrats committed the unforgivable sin of forcing public schools in our northern California area closed for 1.5 years thereby permanently messing up my kid's and hundreds of thousands of other kids' educations. All that just to help some emotionally crippled people feel better about leaving their homes and to "own" the conservatives. And to think I was a loyal Dem voter. Thanks, Democrats.

For my part, I hate these people not because they lied to us, but because they seem incapable of any analysis of benefit by balancing costs. Everything appears to them as an unalloyed good. If we have to trick people into wearing masks so they subconsciously social distance so what, social distancing is good. It will slow the spread of the virus. Never, I wonder what the downsides are to making people wear masks so that they can live their lives? Will that cost outweigh any benefit? Why is this concept so hard for these people?

Most alarming is how compliant the masses were.

There's been no doubt for years.

Read the book by Miller: 'Unmasked'. Look at the charts showing the historical facts: the 'cases' curves follow exactly the same path in States WITH masking etc. as in States WITHOUT masking and whatever.

Simple and plain. End of story. Proven beyond doubt. On record.

The problem is getting that truth out to the people.

We are not good at it.

In fact we get abusive and call the people stupid and such.

But in fact most of the people never get exposed to that truth. They never get to see it.

We forget that we take the trouble to search out sites like this, youtube vids on this subject, read discussion and comment threads, follow links and look at scientific ( and unscientific ) papers.

Mining this rich seam like this we think there's gold bearing ore everywhere.

We forget the majority of the public are not even in the mine.

All they see is wall to wall govt and govt shill narrative.

I'm in a polling booth here in Australia yesterday. In South Australia. They dropped the mask mandate. No masks required. All the public are walking around maybe 99% without masks ( some still do - it turns out some people just like to be muzzled ). In the polling centre? Govt employees all masked. Get it?

Big Brother looking at you when you get in there. Okay you haven't got a mask on. Don't forget that's a 'freedom' we gave you. "We Gave You". And we'll take it back whenever we like.

Is that subtle or not subtle? I think not, really. I think of it as abusive. I see it as the govt literally abusing us to our faces.

And I was very nearly abused to my face. I asked one Election Commission staff why he was wearing the mask. He got immediately aggressive and personal. Immediately and quite obviously despite his face being hidden behind his diaper.

Yep. Wall to wall is how they've got it, out there 'in the open'.

Down here 'in the mine' all we can see is the gold of truth.

But they are not seeing it.

We should be plastering the most dramatic 'truth proofs' up everywhere. On every wall and power pole, in every office, tram stop, train station, library... everywhere.

But: essentially nothing. Not a thing.

I've been looking for two years and in that time all I've seen is what I've put up and that was precious little.

And two little square stickers from 'the white rose' in small country village park.

It's you and me is the problem.

Its fairly unbelievable how much help people need with learning the enormity of it all.

I told a man the Australian govt has ripped us off for 600 billion dollars in the last two years.

About a billion dollars per day each day for the last two years.

Bringing our national debt to One trillion dollars. More than doubling it in two short years.

Was he alarmed? Astounded? Indignant? Angry?

None of the above.

He said 'would that have happened if there was no Covid?' and when I said probably no then he says there you are then... It's all alright.

He seriously thinks

1. A billion dollars a day is required to fight a medical non-emergency

2. That we did successfully fight a real medical emergency.

How deluded is he?

Where's his head living?

That's the size of the problem.

I suspect people like he will never, ever, change their minds 'in public'. In conversation. Before you or I. In front of witnesses.

They need to be exposed to the truth in some blunt penetrating way such as an unavoidable graphic in the privacy of their own world egg and they'll then maybe change their minds and come forth then claiming they always knew.

But they won't do it for you or me.

They are the brothers and sisters of those who confronted with horrible mouth cancer pictures of smokers still wouldn't concede smoking can cause cancer.

It needs to be indisputable and overwhelming.

Like the charts in 'Unmasked'.

But do you see that book topping the best sellers? Do you see those charts pasted up all around town? Do you see it discussed on prime time etc?

Yes, yes, yes! I've been saying that all along. The only possible benefit from masking is it is a social cue for people to stay away from each other. It communicates 'danger' - however, six feet is not going to do anyone any good with or without a mask.

Honestly, with a contagious respiratory virus, the only option is complete isolation from everyone, always, and they couldn't even achieve that in Antartica! In other words, there is no mitigation method that works for Covid, just like there is no cure for the common cold.

Because social distancing really works too. Why are the dumbest among us in charge?

Was acknowledged here in the UK summer 2021. Masks were a "reminder that there was something to be afraid of", I believe it was head of the NEU who said it when demanding schoolkids remain muzzled.

"former Senior Fellow in the Council on Foreign Relations" instant red flag. 😂

Just out of curiosity Michael, who do you think has more power, the likes of the CCP (which of course overlaps with WEF, CFR etc.), or monetary institutions like the Bank of International Settlements and "national" central banks around the world?

Does anyone know the Japanese study she’s referring to?

you cannot stop a bio agent with a mask. you need a gas mask with a bio filter. there is a reason the military does not hand out these facial jockey straps in lue of NBC gear. if none of the criminal trash in dc will go outside without a gas mask, then maybe you should be afraid. meantime,... meh,...

They know a lot of things are ridiculous and keep pushing them. If we keep following this stuff then we are just sheep.
