Just Say No—to Masks! |

The old saw that goes “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” has never applied more. COVID-19, part one, was bad enough. Now, we are reading and hearing in numerous places that COVID-19, part two, is in the offing. In many ways, it has already begun with yet another COVID variant, BA.2.86, a highly mutated strain reported in Michigan, as the handy excuse. Welcome back masks, lockdowns, social distancing, required vaccinations for work, boosters without end, the banning of easy (inexpensive) solutions such as ivermectin, unbelievable fortunes being made by pharmaceutical companies and their executives, school closings, our dumbed-down children increasingly falling behind grade level while friendless and living life through their smartphones, myriad small business bankruptcies, all our major cities in astonishing decay, riddled with crime, phony subsidies creating yet more inflation, families alienated from each other, isolation, depression, heavy drug usage, suicide and, most of all, extreme government control, either through the World Health Organization (in league with China) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the last being the underlying intention of it all. This is communism through health care, which some say Vladimir Lenin himself envisioned as the most efficient way to achieve his goal. Notably, this is beginning again just at the moment our country is finally emerging, at least to some small extent, from the so-called pandemic. We can't allow this repeat to take place. It’s up to us to stop it. We can refuse to comply—we must refuse. This is a time for all to read or reread Henry David Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience.” If this goes forward as it is pervasively rumored, it would be a classic case of what the 19th-century author described—civil (government) law in conflict with higher law. Forget beer cans. Are you ready for a national mask boycott? Astonishingly, this is occurring after the Cochrane Library—the supposed sine qua non for assimilating medical research studies—told us there was barely a difference, if any at all, between those who wore masks and those who didn’t in contracting the virus. Further, Switzerland, of all places, home to many of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world, recently is no longer recommending the vaccines, even for those considered at high risk.

Thirdly, due to a recent lawsuit from three doctors, the Food and Drug Administration just acknowledged what most of us knew all along—the vastly cheaper ivermectin worked against COVID. Third World countries that couldn’t afford the expensive shots used ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and did better than we did. Fourthly, we have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to thank for his exhaustive, heavily footnoted book on Dr. Anthony Fauci that documents just how much this man has worked against the public interest and on behalf of his own for so many decades. If you haven’t read “The Real Anthony Fauci,” you owe it to yourself to make the effort. Plus, Kennedy has a new one coming up in October intimately related to all this: “The Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race.” I could go on and on, but since you are Epoch Times readers, you have no doubt read many of our esteemed medical contributors (Drs. Scott Atlas, Jay Bhattacharya, Robert S. Malone, Harvey Risch, Peter McCullough, among many others just as eminent) or seen Jan Jekielek’s interviews with them. Separately and together, they have clarified much of what we have been confronting, yet here we go again. How to explain that? Most would prefer to “go along to get along,” rather than to confront authority or even to give up old habits, no matter how miserable. I know I have felt that way at times and suspect that most people have. Affecting change, however, entails confronting that feeling, confronting the coward in yourself. What we are dealing with in our country are many, possibly a majority. It's our job now to help them not live in health care slavery. It won’t be easy. It will take a lot of patience with frightened and habituated people. But it’s our calling now—like it or not. How to do it, however, is not that difficult, at least to start with. Channel Nancy Reagan. Just say no—to masks! (And the rest of the fascist idiocy that goes along with them.)

From My Inbox: Tim Bernard: “Years ago, I joined Facebook for work reasons when a tornado had some local government buildings and people were finding papers away and posting photos of them on Facebook. After a couple of weeks, I could tell it was otherwise useless to me. I didn’t need to know that my friend was shopping at Dillard’s with his wife.
Ken Rossignol. “You have nailed it. I am counting the days X tosses me off and FB has squeezed my 12,000 followers down to where I think about five people see my posts. I only post on Rumble now and wonder when YouTube gives me the axe.”
Charlie Helinski: “The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Friday that the number of weekly flights between the United States and China will double by the end of October, in part to accommodate international students. ... This is the U.S. training young Chinese in engineering, computers, math, physics, chemistry, medicine, while our American students are focusing on black, feminist, and L-alphabet revisionist history, and socialism. We are giving China an educated infrastructure of a technically capable next generation. Their own country would deteriorate without the U.S. educating them. And we will collapse without students of the hard sciences.”
From Roger: My new book “American Refugees,” about the migration to red states from blue states, is available for presale on Amazon (pub. 10/31). Tucker Carlson, Vivek Ramaswamy, John Rich, Gordon Chang, and Lee Smith made positive comments that can be read at the link by scrolling down. |
