The only nation that actually cracked down on the 2008 financial meltdown and jailed the criminal, rent-seeking, parasite bankers responsible, is the First country to lift all of the deliberately damaging, deliberately ineffective, and deliberately draconian COVID-19 restrictions?
There’s something special about this land and its people - I would love to drop in for a visit. Bravo Icelanders!!
This is Great News.....but until all the World-Wide Parties involved in this crime against humanity are Indicted , Tried , and Properly Punished....We still need to be vigilant against this "virus" tyranny. The NWO doesn't go away...The NWO just regroups. Continue to RESIST !!
We need to regroup, but we have no organization. We're just a bunch of people who want to find out what's going on for ourselves. Is that a strength right now? And if it's a weakness, how can we make it a strength?
There is good and bad in everything, and abortion acceptance was just another successful PSYOP to make people believe killing children can be a good thing.
This was achieved through endless media propaganda from the likes of Margaret Sanger and the Gates clan. It is literally Satanic, no exaggeration:
Every time I see young women cheering for abortion rights it breaks my heart. They have been brainwashed by my body, my choice, propaganda. This enables them to ignore the reality that they are in favor of killing an innocent child.
And heartbreak follows them throughout their lives after destroying their child. I'm involved in a nationwide movement called Love Life, which meets every need of an expectant mom so that she can have her baby and raise it or let someone adopt it. You wouldn't believe how many moms don't realize there is life in their wombs. Over and over they say that the abortion staff has told them there's nothing living, but when they see an ultrasound, they're overcome because they realize it's a child.
And it is a tactic that becomes self-fulfilling. Because the fewer children who make it to birth with say Down syndrome or spina bifida, the less of a support system is in place for them and their families.
In our city, churches prayer walk past the abortion mill every Saturday morning. There will be anywhere from 50 to several hundred people walking together by the center, worshipping and praying, not engaging. We do it for 40 weeks, and on Week 40, all the churches come together and there can be 5000 people praying. Of course, there are sidewalk counselors there to help women. But there are also pro-abortion people and they will wear devil costumes, witch costumes, and make literal curses in the name of the enemy on the people praying. If people could see the reality, they would be stunned. https://lovelife.org/
Agreed. And this is why our country is under siege now. We have turned our backs on Jesus Christ. A country that kills 300,000 per year cannot expect to be blessed.
Abortion is used as a wedge issue. It motivates pro-choice to vote blue no matter who. People who don't want one shouldn't get one. Children with severe disabilities who are placed for adoption are often horrifically abused. Personally, I don't like abortion, but am not willing to shame a woman who makes the choice to get one safely. There are bigger fish to fry. Most importantly freedom to choose (yes or no) on any and all medical interventions. Left and right should come together on this issue.
Ugh! I am sadly not surprised. We work with orphans in Eastern Europe and I know of one orphanage where all the teen boys were taken to hospital for some kind of surgery on their reproductive system. The families of those boys believe they were secretly sterilized.
I tried to ❤️ your comment but can’t. It makes me sick too. See my link above. Iceland may be eliminating Covid mandates but they are also eliminating Down Syndrome babies.
Pro choice over your own body, but not the bodies of others. Some women may resent it, but an unborn baby is a genetically and ethically distinct human being.
No sane person -- male or female -- should desire to kill their own offspring.
We are involved in a movement called Love Life which meets all needs of an expectant mom so that she won't have to destroy her baby and can either raise it or give it for adoption.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.” -Taylor Caldwell
Oh Wow!! I have been thinking so much about Taylor Caldwell lately and wondering if anyone still reads her. When I was young (like, nine years old) I was a voracious reader but had limited access to enough books to feed my need. For some reason though I had a large supply of Caldwell's books and I read them over and over. Eventually I questioned her frequent theme that the Western world is controlled by a secret cabal of wealthy and powerful elites who work behind the scenes to engineer crisis and war, mainly for profit. Ha, I said to myself, that's really taking things too far. Dark conspiracies, indeed!
And now I am reminded of her warnings, all these decades later. What if she was right?
OMG, Twins, separated at birth! I remember reading “The Captains and the Kings” and thinking her thesis about powerful elites ruling the world was a bit “out there.” Now, not so much.
I read it as a kid, I am 65 now. I knew it was truth when I read it. She pulled the pants down on historic personages, and it is just a short hop from what she revealed that was verifiable, to realizing the thesis was dead on accurate.
She was right! Didn't you notice the history part of her historic fiction? It's real, and she proved it to you in those pages, the ones referencing the actions of real historic figures.
Her greatness was in getting these truths out in the guise of fiction written well enough to be engaging apart from the didactic content.
Exactly! We were happy to just live our lives and let others do the same, but they won't let us and so we need a new strategy and to not relax, especially not now.
Vikings leading the charge! Will be fascinating to see how tourist revenue rebounds in countries that lift restrictions (Iceland, Mexico, UK) compared to those who are doubling down on fascism (Canada, Australia, NZ).
The state of South Dakota where I live never locked down nor imposed any mandate or masking rules. Both years of CV we were open for Sturgis Bike Rally (500k+) & both yrs were heralded as superspreader events where absolutely nothing happened. The result is CV experience is equiv or lower than the rest of the world & our tourism economy has exploded.
Similar in Florida, although we did lock down for maybe six weeks. Lots of big events, concerts and similar ever since May 2020. Proud to live in a free state!
I’m so jealous! The discrimination toward the unvaxed is concerning. When is science going to be science? Fraudci and his ilk make it up as they go. Add that along with the idiots in Sacramento and their asinine regulations and we get tyranny. As an unvaxed in CA I can tell you, this fight is not over.
No, it's not. They've already groomed many people into being okay shutting us out of society. I've stepped back from friends supporting this. They have no clue what they're agreeing to, and they need to wake up pronto.
Our state, NC, has not been free according to our governor, but pastors sued early on to have churches opened, and outside the metro areas, people have ignored the diktats. Our governor does not represent we the people, at all.
I loved the panic being pushed by the Poisoned Dwarf that 'we all gonna die' as even the Harleys are in fact getting CV or something. Two years in a row and then....... nothing. Of course the gutter press (propoganda arm of the liberal governments) then went strangley quiet - move along, nothing to see here.
agree. also there seems to be such a thing as the New World Order mindset, as we experience the intensification of its longstanding agenda. While each passing week seems to bring us more and more bizarre news in the unfolding of Operation Coronavirus, this article describes parts of the mentality which is orchestrating this scamdemic –
We visited the state a few years ago and LOVED it. Have been talking about moving there ever since, but I admit the winter temps have discouraged us a bit. We're old and the blood is thin.
My father grew up in S.D. but was drafted for WW2. He met my mother in New York but they decided to start fresh in California. When I was a child I asked him what it was like to live in S.D. He said, “Pretty good, if you had never lived anywhere else.”
Great response! LOL... I'm a MIL Brat and found this place accidentally by clicking online dating site. That didn't work out, but everything else did just in time. In 2010 I had to change my entire business model. Everyone then said that moving to SD & becoming remote "was the stupidest thing you've ever done." Luck spends better than money.
Maybe so, but here in FL the population of 5 million seniors DeSantis had to be certain of a few things first. He did what ever governor should've done, looked at real numbers. Then opened 2 weeks after the federal 2 week curve and the 2 week extension, so 6 weeks
I love DeSantis, but isn't it a damned shame that his performance during this debacle strikes us as amazing compared to about 45 of his 49 counterparts? It speaks very loudly and negatively of the state of our country that intelligent, thoughtful, reasonable and brave governors are so rare they're "amazing."
In my state, I knew Covid was Bullshit when the emergency 2000+ bed structure had maybe 10 patients at any given time. If that many. Waste of money, time etc. all to showcase the fear factor. Barely got used and quietly taken down. Actually, our actual hospitals played a “move Covid patients around” to game the numbers. Friends who are nurses exposed all kinds of shenanigans in their hospitals. Then they were laid off in 2020.
Exactly! Try to tell that to the paranoid! I have a friend who is a nurse and worked all through Covid with Covid patients. There were dicey times but in most cases the number of people on vents was limited. Sadly the hospital protocol aided many deaths. I realize Alex doesn’t believe IVM works but what’s wrong with trying when all else has failed? Still can’t understand that. It’s sick.
I met a couple of guys on their way home from Sturgis, saw their bikes and vests. I excitedly approached them to discuss the ‘superspreader’ event that didn’t happen and these men told me happily they were double vaxxed as were quite a number of bikers.
Many people just felt like they either 1) couldn’t justify the risk of infection 2) couldn’t afford the risk of their livelyhoods 3) believed the promises
Those of us who refused & got infected, survived and again refused should be compassionate that the irreversible experiment to which they will now be subject forever, yields better results than it has for many.
Just thought ‘fear’ didn’t seem in line with how I envision the Sturgis bikers. Risk of infection? of a purported illness with a survival rate of more than 99%.
But I get the coercion many face in the workplace. Not everyone can walk away from a job. Total sympathy for anyone put in that untenable position.
I won't even fly anymore. I'm good here in the USA. We are leaving tomorrow for our 8th roundtrip drive between FL and NJ in the past two years. Yeah, it takes a while but...
Same with me. Two round trips to Texas from California. Four to Washington state. Gas is a killer but i would rather support that industry than the airlines.
The Royals are all “useless eaters” in my opinion. Kinda like leeches on society paid for by the hard working taxpayers. Ya know, similar to Nancy Pelosi and her ilk.
Who are you counting? Canada and Australia, but who's the third? New Zealand? (It's been quiet there lately.) Was Boris the one who gave the signal this time (to open, or just no one wanting someone to get ahead economically by opening up when others are still shut)? I don't think they want the system to crash too quickly, more like a planned demolition.
"How the mighty (mRNA shots) have fallen. ... As a wise man once said, virus gonna virus."
Ah, but having tasted the power their subjects will obviously allow, tyrants are still gonna tyrant. The control will continue to advance by other means. Stay vigilant. It's far from over and indeed may just be starting. We're just turning a page to a new chapter in a long march.
Wow, as a Canadian I think I may have to move there. Alas I don't think Chairman Trudeau allows that now. I am still working out all the details of martial law, but it seems like mobility is another right that we are denied. It seems to have disappeared along with our other rights to life, liberty and security of the person. While provincial governments are easing restrictions, I am having a hard time celebrating when Chairman Trudeau imposes martial law. I will emphasize again that these assholes have lied to us for two years and it may look like they are playing nice with us but don't fall for it. Its a trap. Stay alert, strong and free and God help us!
The problem seems to be that we who see the truth and try and explain it to friends and family are called names and are met with hostility. I have heard it explained by someone that it's hard to hear the truth when you are living the lie. We just have to keep spreading the truth and hopefully people will see the light. Peace.
It's the same here USA with friends etcetera. I guess the only difference is that Xiden hasn't gone full totalitarian, maybe because us redpilled/rednecks/yeehaws have a lot of guns. (before anyone gets offended, i am redpilled, a lil rednecky but not so's you'd notice, a little yeehaw, and i've got a few guns.)
I find it hard to accept so many Canadians including relatives have lost the capacity to think. The media, politicians and medical profession have failed them. Same in New Zealand and Australia.
@Alex, for the record Mexico was the first one, I went in 2 weeks ago and absolutely no questions asked including tests, contact tracing etcetera , was not even wearing a mask at customs. People are done with the Lies!!!! Thanks as always for putting the truth out there whether it hurts or not.
I was wondering if US current policy on its southern border also has something to do with that - as they bring all these people from all over the world to Mexico first. Talk about hypocrisy...
I think that might just be in the touristy areas. I live in Mexico. Masks are everywhere (even on walks). Temperature checks before entering any business. My husband had to get a test before he was allowed back to work after a vacation. This may be a local government thing but the fear of covid is still strong here.
Perhaps it's the border towns. Friends travel across the border all the times. The only masks they see are purely voluntary. Restaurants, bars, stores don't require anything.
That could be. I'm only 3 hours from the border so I hope it spreads soon. At least I could walk into the pharmacy, in my mask, and buy ivermectin, HCQ, prednisone when my family got it.
What about tests to return to the US? A friend tested positive at the end of their mexico trip and had to quarantine in MX for 2 weeks. Not sure if that was a US requirement to test before returning to the States? Also that was a few months ago (Nov?)
yes, US requires tests for everyone 2+. the irony is when they just started requiring tests they did not even look at them at the border! the customs guy said he doesn't need them (maybe changed now). Was it just money grab?
Alex, Steve Kirsch ran a Substack article about the very study you wrote about, "proving" that Ivermectin was useless for covid. Many medical professionals, including Dr. Pierre Kory, read the study results, and came to the opposite conclusion.
As did many of your Substack subscribers, as shown in their comments.
US government obviously against anyone traveling on principle. They are really trying to discourage it at every turn. The state department list of so-called high risk dangerous countries keeps growing and is an exercise of pure fantasy. They particularly seem to like to classify as high risk any country that will accept unvaccinated Americans. Gee—are they afraid of us all comparing notes?
"Mostly caused by the unvaxxed" + "Mostly understood that the vax does not prevent transmission" = PEOPLE ARE STUPID TO THE INFINITE AND BEYOND BEYOND BEYOOOOOOND.
Ok so has that time passed? When was that written? I would like to see the report that all mandates and restrictions HAVE ended, and not are about to end. Please forgive my cynicism. But living in Ontario I hear nothing but lies and false promises intended to anesthetize the public while preparing them for more tyranny. This for a solid 2 years.
Please let me know if and when they actually do it. Or have they already?
Thank you. Let's keep the Champagne on ice till at least Sunday. I simply do not trust any (Leftist) government to be honest about their plans to give back any freedom or rights.
And an unwise man recently misread a JAMA article on ivermectin, was called out in it by his readers, called them “fanatics” and hasn’t issued a peep since.
Facing truth is hard no different than all the people who believed the masks worked and trusted the Government hacks and agencies on PCR testing, the myth of the asymptomatic spreader and natural immunity does not have a place. The fear of actually confronting truth is hard once you realized you have been duped!
So as a physician - I just dont get how the vaccine "protects" you against severe disease. If it can't stop you from getting it, or spreading it - or it can't document lower viral counts - how does it achieve this miraculous finding.
I personnel dont believe they work at all. Almost everyone I know who has died from Covid was vaccinated. I think any protective effect is likely from patients with prior natural immunity and severe bias from very different populations.
We are stuck with the EU and UK border issues I think, They seem to always forget Northern Ireland is connected to The Republic, so we have to match that.
Actually it does affect me somehow. I have a baby that thinks that people on the street are faceless. This is going to affect his development for sure.
I encountered a young mom. She was maskless--as were her kids, who looked to be about 3 and 5 years old. Mom was saying, "Oh look! That lady has a nice smile! Let's smile at her!"
And we had a nice chat.
Mom said she's trying to make it nice & sensible & positive for her kids to see that it's GOOD to not wear a mask. Her kids think masks are normal...so this is her way to un-do that indoctrination.
It's worth a try--and I wish her luck. And good luck to you, too.
Honestly, my behavior, let's say one year ago, was to be super nice with anyone, basically because of 2 things:
- so that the baby sees that people are nice, we can interact, we talk to each other...
- Also, having a baby on the street is sometimes like having a toy, everybody wants to interact. So I also feel that I have a responsibility with the world, a baby lights up the world. In these dark times, I am making people's life better if I let them interact with the baby.
Now, I am sick of masks. So I am reluctant to interact with people with a mask. Because I think they are stupid and also, because my baby has seen too many masks already.
So, I will follow the mom you talk about. I will try to interact with maskless people as much as I can.
PS: here in Spain things are not like I feel they are in the US. I do not have the feeling that there is tension between masked and non-masked.
It's difficult to be nice to masked people because there's no way to know if they're smiling. I think masks have closed us off to other people. I don't think we even make eye contact.
I've encountered a few masked people who are overtly critical/hostile toward unmasked people. For the duration of the mandates, I've resisted wearing masks. I even pretend I "forgot" to wear a mask. I'd say half the time no one says anything to me.
There were two disturbing news reports yesterday: some college kids are objecting to giving up their masks. They claim they don't feel "safe."
The other is that people who don't have children want children to continue to wear masks. I guess they figure kids are germ-y.
I'm so DONE with masks.
Good luck with your little ones--keep them smiling!
I remember a discussion on Quora a while ago where people were sharing their (non-covid) reasons for wearing a mask - someone had skin problems, someone hated smiling to customers, etc, etc. These people will cling to their masks for as long as they can while forcing them on the rest of us. It's like many parents wanted schools shut for non-covid reasons (because they could travel, etc)
well this is amazing and just so everyone knows canada has now levelled up the fascism as under the emergencies act we are tracked for everything we say (yes i am sure this was done before) but now they can actually punish us. as of today. usually i would post this sort of info on my instagram stories but starting today i cannot. as a mother for 4 children how do i fight for my childrens future and if we effectively cannot speak. protesting is illegal now. they are even recording phone conversations. my 11 year old daughter said to me "mom, if we cant protest and we cant even share the info, how will it ever end?" and to that I had no answer.
I'd suggest getting out of Canada. I was born in Canada and left to become an American many years ago. I was a child who asked my parents "what does it mean to be free?" so I saw long ago that freedom was at risk in Canada. The signs were there decades ago. Of course, freedom is always at risk everywhere but at least in the United States, the majority of the people still believe in freedom.
Oh, and it isn't easy to immigrate but right now, you have a golden opportunity to cross the border (by any means) and claim asylum.
As the State of the Union is looming, it’s likely restrictions will continue to fall here too. Biden will take credit for all we’ve done re: vaccines, COVID policies, etc. I wonder if CDC will recommend against masking . . . Gosh, it’s amazing how Dem governors and the entire western world (sans Canada) has this amazing coordinated messaging.
Good for Iceland. But there it is again, “the vaccine prevents serious illness”. My experience on the street is, that statement is bunk. Studies seem to sometimes show a slight advantage. When you factor in the small percentage of devastating vaccine injuries, often among the young, this last canard is disturbing. After promising SOOO much the Vaccine Industrial Complex is down to, “well at least it prevents serious illness”- B.S.. this is criminal and I’m sick of hearing it.
Hooray! Someone needs to tell Governor Inslee of WA. He still has mask mandates in effect until March 21st. I’m sure he choose this date because it is after March 17th (St Patrick’s day) when hundreds gather and celebrate in pubs. He is a total clown. He usually follows his blue brothers in Oregon and California but this time has stepped out of the box and independently made his decision and science be damned!
It will be interesting to see how many masks come off when that date comes. Where I live in WA people seem to adore their masks and parade around outside, alone, with them on. It's very disheartening. I freely go everywhere without a mask.
Meanwhile, back in the USSR, I mean USA, Biden has declared the national emergency declared on March 13, 2020, and beginning March 1, 2020, must continue in effect beyond March 1, 2022.
This particular state of emergency doesn’t give the president any special powers other than to relax federal regulations to make make the unapproved tests and vaccines available and coverable by insurance, and making it easier to share test results (track and trace). Look at the original proclamation 9994 by Trump in March 2020 that Biden is simply renewing.
It’s been going on for almost two years now and so far all the tyrannical action has been at the state or local level. Biden tried and failed to do something at the federal level with the employer mandates but for the most part was stopped by the courts. And even then he wasn’t claiming to be exercising some special new power only open to him by the state of emergency. He was just using his regular executive discretion the same way Trump had cancelled CRT training for federal contractors.
The only nation that actually cracked down on the 2008 financial meltdown and jailed the criminal, rent-seeking, parasite bankers responsible, is the First country to lift all of the deliberately damaging, deliberately ineffective, and deliberately draconian COVID-19 restrictions?
There’s something special about this land and its people - I would love to drop in for a visit. Bravo Icelanders!!
Encore everyone else.
This is Great News.....but until all the World-Wide Parties involved in this crime against humanity are Indicted , Tried , and Properly Punished....We still need to be vigilant against this "virus" tyranny. The NWO doesn't go away...The NWO just regroups. Continue to RESIST !!

Hard for me to cheer a land that cheers itself for eradicating Down syndrome. Thru abortion of course.
There is good and bad in everything, and abortion acceptance was just another successful PSYOP to make people believe killing children can be a good thing.
This was achieved through endless media propaganda from the likes of Margaret Sanger and the Gates clan. It is literally Satanic, no exaggeration:
http://tritorch.com/abortionslope [it is now a web page for easier viewing]
People that believe in abortion are victims of a prolonged onslaught of deception from the father of lies and a lack of an education about Jesus.

Nonviable Fetus. Fixed it for you.
Just a clump of cells, right? This allows you to not pay any attention to what's really happening.
Exactly what it is and if you don’t want one, don’t have one. Choice matters. Period.
Spewing BS fixes nothing. Premature babies survive regularly in hospitals around the world.
Susan, I'm sorry for your loss.
Susan “NVF” Israel, too bad abortion isn’t retroactive, hoping you die in a fire.

When you grow a uterus, get back to us.
I'm praying for you right now, Susan, that the truth is revealed to you. God bless you.

Arguments don't have gender. It is wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human being.

Still inexcusable torture. The pivot from this point onward needs to be massive pressure on corrupt political tyrants and corrupt pharma companies.
We cannot be comfortable with a boot off our neck.

Amen! Time to make sure none of this happens again. It's only a reprieve. Not a retreat.
Yup--Climate change mania is next on the NWO agenda. Look for similar tactics to destroy capitalism and freedom.

Vikings leading the charge! Will be fascinating to see how tourist revenue rebounds in countries that lift restrictions (Iceland, Mexico, UK) compared to those who are doubling down on fascism (Canada, Australia, NZ).
The state of South Dakota where I live never locked down nor imposed any mandate or masking rules. Both years of CV we were open for Sturgis Bike Rally (500k+) & both yrs were heralded as superspreader events where absolutely nothing happened. The result is CV experience is equiv or lower than the rest of the world & our tourism economy has exploded.
Similar in Florida, although we did lock down for maybe six weeks. Lots of big events, concerts and similar ever since May 2020. Proud to live in a free state!
I’m so jealous! The discrimination toward the unvaxed is concerning. When is science going to be science? Fraudci and his ilk make it up as they go. Add that along with the idiots in Sacramento and their asinine regulations and we get tyranny. As an unvaxed in CA I can tell you, this fight is not over.
I live in California. I make shop owners ask me to wear a mask -- most don't, and the ones that do see me walk out.
No, it's not. They've already groomed many people into being okay shutting us out of society. I've stepped back from friends supporting this. They have no clue what they're agreeing to, and they need to wake up pronto.
SAME
Our state, NC, has not been free according to our governor, but pastors sued early on to have churches opened, and outside the metro areas, people have ignored the diktats. Our governor does not represent we the people, at all.
I loved the panic being pushed by the Poisoned Dwarf that 'we all gonna die' as even the Harleys are in fact getting CV or something. Two years in a row and then....... nothing. Of course the gutter press (propoganda arm of the liberal governments) then went strangley quiet - move along, nothing to see here.
There is a moment in "A Plague upon Our House" where Fauci is quite adamant that the public was not frightened enough.
He's a sociopath
agree. also there seems to be such a thing as the New World Order mindset, as we experience the intensification of its longstanding agenda. While each passing week seems to bring us more and more bizarre news in the unfolding of Operation Coronavirus, this article describes parts of the mentality which is orchestrating this scamdemic –

Indeed.
deadly poisonous too.
We made visiting SD a priority on our 2020 road trip!
That is never talked about on MSM or anywhere. I wonder why. South Dakota showed the way! From my understanding, faster then FL?
Most people just ignore the Dakotas. It’s -18*F here today. That keeps out the riff raff.
We visited the state a few years ago and LOVED it. Have been talking about moving there ever since, but I admit the winter temps have discouraged us a bit. We're old and the blood is thin.
True. We get all the kommie riffraff in Florida. Gotta be made of strong stuff to make it in the Dakotas and Montana!
My father grew up in S.D. but was drafted for WW2. He met my mother in New York but they decided to start fresh in California. When I was a child I asked him what it was like to live in S.D. He said, “Pretty good, if you had never lived anywhere else.”
Great response! LOL... I'm a MIL Brat and found this place accidentally by clicking online dating site. That didn't work out, but everything else did just in time. In 2010 I had to change my entire business model. Everyone then said that moving to SD & becoming remote "was the stupidest thing you've ever done." Luck spends better than money.
I’m in a hard winter state too so I feel your pain. Builds character lol!
Maybe so, but here in FL the population of 5 million seniors DeSantis had to be certain of a few things first. He did what ever governor should've done, looked at real numbers. Then opened 2 weeks after the federal 2 week curve and the 2 week extension, so 6 weeks
DeSantis is pretty damn amazing! Very smart guy and lots of courage to go against the mob rule.
I love DeSantis, but isn't it a damned shame that his performance during this debacle strikes us as amazing compared to about 45 of his 49 counterparts? It speaks very loudly and negatively of the state of our country that intelligent, thoughtful, reasonable and brave governors are so rare they're "amazing."
And they had 35% hospital bed availability all through their peak.
I think a lot of places did but lied a lot.
In my state, I knew Covid was Bullshit when the emergency 2000+ bed structure had maybe 10 patients at any given time. If that many. Waste of money, time etc. all to showcase the fear factor. Barely got used and quietly taken down. Actually, our actual hospitals played a “move Covid patients around” to game the numbers. Friends who are nurses exposed all kinds of shenanigans in their hospitals. Then they were laid off in 2020.
Exactly! Try to tell that to the paranoid! I have a friend who is a nurse and worked all through Covid with Covid patients. There were dicey times but in most cases the number of people on vents was limited. Sadly the hospital protocol aided many deaths. I realize Alex doesn’t believe IVM works but what’s wrong with trying when all else has failed? Still can’t understand that. It’s sick.
I met a couple of guys on their way home from Sturgis, saw their bikes and vests. I excitedly approached them to discuss the ‘superspreader’ event that didn’t happen and these men told me happily they were double vaxxed as were quite a number of bikers.
I was shocked to say the least.
Many people just felt like they either 1) couldn’t justify the risk of infection 2) couldn’t afford the risk of their livelyhoods 3) believed the promises
Those of us who refused & got infected, survived and again refused should be compassionate that the irreversible experiment to which they will now be subject forever, yields better results than it has for many.
Just thought ‘fear’ didn’t seem in line with how I envision the Sturgis bikers. Risk of infection? of a purported illness with a survival rate of more than 99%.
But I get the coercion many face in the workplace. Not everyone can walk away from a job. Total sympathy for anyone put in that untenable position.
hahaha didn't fit the mainstream narrative, eh?
Shhhhh don't tell anyone but SD is beautiful. And you're only a few degrees colder than me today in CO.
Can’t say ANY of that for WA. And we’ll be in this crippling mess for who knows how long.
Even if the fascist countries do a 180, I won't visit them again. I wouldn't feel safe there.
I won't even fly anymore. I'm good here in the USA. We are leaving tomorrow for our 8th roundtrip drive between FL and NJ in the past two years. Yeah, it takes a while but...
No mask bullshit
No TSA bullshit
No air rage
I can eat and drink and pee whenever I wish
Driving FTW! Next up: Gonna try out an RV!
flying is definitely a concern - no way I'm flying to Iceland or anywhere else until they get over their mask fetish
Same with me. Two round trips to Texas from California. Four to Washington state. Gas is a killer but i would rather support that industry than the airlines.
100%! Fk the bailed-out airlines!
but with our govt trying to jack up oil and natural gas prices...
Yeah. If you're caught there during the next virus unveiling, you could be a prisoner and human rights seem low priority.
Let's make a list.
NZ
Australia
Canada
Austria
Germany
Maybe Italy... who else? Why so many?
Definitely Italy, and add France to the list.
that's right! jabbing babies
EXACTLY
France. Macron is a WEF global leader graduate.
No access to grocery and drug stores in Lithuania? Arresting the unvaxxed in the Philippines? They're out of control. I never heard this.
Horrible
5eyes in tandem, with the US incapable to get it done and the UK seemingly the odd one out. however, together they form a weird and treacherous team.
If you're an unvaxxed Canadian you can't even go to the free countries on vacation. Can't get on any plane unless you're rich and have your own.
And you can bet that if the multi-jabbed Queen dies of C19, they won't tell us right away!
It could be just Old Age, Right?
Yep, just like it was for Betty White!
it's all theatrics. perhaps she's finally had enough.
The Royals are all “useless eaters” in my opinion. Kinda like leeches on society paid for by the hard working taxpayers. Ya know, similar to Nancy Pelosi and her ilk.
Who are you counting? Canada and Australia, but who's the third? New Zealand? (It's been quiet there lately.) Was Boris the one who gave the signal this time (to open, or just no one wanting someone to get ahead economically by opening up when others are still shut)? I don't think they want the system to crash too quickly, more like a planned demolition.
noteworthy also since Brexit the UK is having difficulties on various levels.
Australia has been shocking to me as I've always thought of the country as free and independent. I had no idea.
5eyes (strange bunch).
good one!
They had 30 deaths in 2020. The jab reduced that number to 30 deaths in 2021. EFFECTIVE!
And safe! Because a jabbed death is much safer than an unjabbed death!
And you go to heaven as well!
That one is disputable (Revelation).
😁😆😅🤣😂
Safe and effective. I guess what the jab is effective at is the concern.
I shouldn't laugh because dead people but...
That is on them for NOT listening to Berenson.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-jama-paper-show-ivermectin-blows?utm_source=url
for anyone wondering, lol that link literally says "ivermectin blows" but the full title is that "IVERMECTIN BLOWS COVID VAXS OUT OF THE WATER".
The CDC NIH Fauci and politicians love them number.
"How the mighty (mRNA shots) have fallen. ... As a wise man once said, virus gonna virus."
Ah, but having tasted the power their subjects will obviously allow, tyrants are still gonna tyrant. The control will continue to advance by other means. Stay vigilant. It's far from over and indeed may just be starting. We're just turning a page to a new chapter in a long march.
Wow, as a Canadian I think I may have to move there. Alas I don't think Chairman Trudeau allows that now. I am still working out all the details of martial law, but it seems like mobility is another right that we are denied. It seems to have disappeared along with our other rights to life, liberty and security of the person. While provincial governments are easing restrictions, I am having a hard time celebrating when Chairman Trudeau imposes martial law. I will emphasize again that these assholes have lied to us for two years and it may look like they are playing nice with us but don't fall for it. Its a trap. Stay alert, strong and free and God help us!
Curious - what do your friends, family and neighbors think? And sorry for you all. It is legitimately criminal what he has done to Canada
The problem seems to be that we who see the truth and try and explain it to friends and family are called names and are met with hostility. I have heard it explained by someone that it's hard to hear the truth when you are living the lie. We just have to keep spreading the truth and hopefully people will see the light. Peace.
It's the same here USA with friends etcetera. I guess the only difference is that Xiden hasn't gone full totalitarian, maybe because us redpilled/rednecks/yeehaws have a lot of guns. (before anyone gets offended, i am redpilled, a lil rednecky but not so's you'd notice, a little yeehaw, and i've got a few guns.)
I cannot believe the shit going on in your country.
Yeah sixty years as a Canadian and I can't believe it. I also can't believe how hard it is to get others to see what's going on.
I find it hard to accept so many Canadians including relatives have lost the capacity to think. The media, politicians and medical profession have failed them. Same in New Zealand and Australia.
@Alex, for the record Mexico was the first one, I went in 2 weeks ago and absolutely no questions asked including tests, contact tracing etcetera , was not even wearing a mask at customs. People are done with the Lies!!!! Thanks as always for putting the truth out there whether it hurts or not.
The cartels would not permit a lock down in Mexico.
Not being snarky--I'm serious. Any restrictions would restrict the cartels cash flow.
I was wondering if US current policy on its southern border also has something to do with that - as they bring all these people from all over the world to Mexico first. Talk about hypocrisy...
Maybe they will also save us from the central bankers digital currency?
I think that might just be in the touristy areas. I live in Mexico. Masks are everywhere (even on walks). Temperature checks before entering any business. My husband had to get a test before he was allowed back to work after a vacation. This may be a local government thing but the fear of covid is still strong here.
Perhaps it's the border towns. Friends travel across the border all the times. The only masks they see are purely voluntary. Restaurants, bars, stores don't require anything.
That could be. I'm only 3 hours from the border so I hope it spreads soon. At least I could walk into the pharmacy, in my mask, and buy ivermectin, HCQ, prednisone when my family got it.
I don't think Mexico ever had entry restrictions (unless a resort decided to), very good for their travel industry. How did they even survive?
What about tests to return to the US? A friend tested positive at the end of their mexico trip and had to quarantine in MX for 2 weeks. Not sure if that was a US requirement to test before returning to the States? Also that was a few months ago (Nov?)
But but if your friend had crossed the border on foot, she/he would have gotten a free flight to their home.
It's a US requirement but only if you fly. You can drive over with no test.
and, of course, you can just cross the border to be flown to the US interior in the middle of the night... what an insane world we live in
Let's Go Brandon!
This country got so stupid so fast
The like button isn't working so ..... like
🤭thanks Nikki. I know, mine is not working until I refresh and then I lose my place... 🤨
yes, US requires tests for everyone 2+. the irony is when they just started requiring tests they did not even look at them at the border! the customs guy said he doesn't need them (maybe changed now). Was it just money grab?
Alex, Steve Kirsch ran a Substack article about the very study you wrote about, "proving" that Ivermectin was useless for covid. Many medical professionals, including Dr. Pierre Kory, read the study results, and came to the opposite conclusion.
As did many of your Substack subscribers, as shown in their comments.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-jama-paper-show-ivermectin-blows?utm_source=url
I have an idea! How about you debate Dr. Kory?!
Yep- poor Alex- We knew him well. Pity that his run was cut short by an unfortunate ruse.
I won't relax until the apps and papers and QR codes go away.
US government obviously against anyone traveling on principle. They are really trying to discourage it at every turn. The state department list of so-called high risk dangerous countries keeps growing and is an exercise of pure fantasy. They particularly seem to like to classify as high risk any country that will accept unvaccinated Americans. Gee—are they afraid of us all comparing notes?
I like the last sentence of the last mail.
"Mostly caused by the unvaxxed" + "Mostly understood that the vax does not prevent transmission" = PEOPLE ARE STUPID TO THE INFINITE AND BEYOND BEYOND BEYOOOOOOND.
Same in my country.
We're planning our northern lights tour already. I'm not joking.
Ok so has that time passed? When was that written? I would like to see the report that all mandates and restrictions HAVE ended, and not are about to end. Please forgive my cynicism. But living in Ontario I hear nothing but lies and false promises intended to anesthetize the public while preparing them for more tyranny. This for a solid 2 years.
Please let me know if and when they actually do it. Or have they already?
same feeling here in Evil Hochul country (NY)
“This Friday”
https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/politics_and_society/2022/02/23/all_covid_19_restrictions_to_be_lifted_in_iceland_f/
Thank you. Let's keep the Champagne on ice till at least Sunday. I simply do not trust any (Leftist) government to be honest about their plans to give back any freedom or rights.
And an unwise man recently misread a JAMA article on ivermectin, was called out in it by his readers, called them “fanatics” and hasn’t issued a peep since.
Arrogant bastard gonna arrogant bastard.
Facing truth is hard no different than all the people who believed the masks worked and trusted the Government hacks and agencies on PCR testing, the myth of the asymptomatic spreader and natural immunity does not have a place. The fear of actually confronting truth is hard once you realized you have been duped!
Quick - every country go into CYA mode before the real news comes out!
https://nakedemperor.substack.com/p/lab-leak-theory-new-article-shows?utm_source=url
oooo this is an entertaining read....
So as a physician - I just dont get how the vaccine "protects" you against severe disease. If it can't stop you from getting it, or spreading it - or it can't document lower viral counts - how does it achieve this miraculous finding.
I personnel dont believe they work at all. Almost everyone I know who has died from Covid was vaccinated. I think any protective effect is likely from patients with prior natural immunity and severe bias from very different populations.
I think these "vaccines" are just poison. No helpful aspect at all.
Norway already did this - no vax no test no mask - so Iceland is second 😉
Including border restrictions?
No border restrictions. No border control crossing into Sweden by train. Nothing
Same in Ireland too. Masks are gone too, from next Monday. Unless you want to keep yours, that is.
Border restrictions too?
It's here: https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/60083-covid-19-reframing-the-challenge-continuing-our-recovery-reconnecting/
We are stuck with the EU and UK border issues I think, They seem to always forget Northern Ireland is connected to The Republic, so we have to match that.
No no no. It does not work that way. I want a non-mask mandate now!
ha ha yeah but there are so many terrified people still, the psy op was incredibly successful. Let them have it.
Actually it does affect me somehow. I have a baby that thinks that people on the street are faceless. This is going to affect his development for sure.
But, yes, if they want...
I encountered a young mom. She was maskless--as were her kids, who looked to be about 3 and 5 years old. Mom was saying, "Oh look! That lady has a nice smile! Let's smile at her!"
And we had a nice chat.
Mom said she's trying to make it nice & sensible & positive for her kids to see that it's GOOD to not wear a mask. Her kids think masks are normal...so this is her way to un-do that indoctrination.
It's worth a try--and I wish her luck. And good luck to you, too.
Honestly, my behavior, let's say one year ago, was to be super nice with anyone, basically because of 2 things:
- so that the baby sees that people are nice, we can interact, we talk to each other...
- Also, having a baby on the street is sometimes like having a toy, everybody wants to interact. So I also feel that I have a responsibility with the world, a baby lights up the world. In these dark times, I am making people's life better if I let them interact with the baby.
Now, I am sick of masks. So I am reluctant to interact with people with a mask. Because I think they are stupid and also, because my baby has seen too many masks already.
So, I will follow the mom you talk about. I will try to interact with maskless people as much as I can.
PS: here in Spain things are not like I feel they are in the US. I do not have the feeling that there is tension between masked and non-masked.
It's difficult to be nice to masked people because there's no way to know if they're smiling. I think masks have closed us off to other people. I don't think we even make eye contact.
I've encountered a few masked people who are overtly critical/hostile toward unmasked people. For the duration of the mandates, I've resisted wearing masks. I even pretend I "forgot" to wear a mask. I'd say half the time no one says anything to me.
There were two disturbing news reports yesterday: some college kids are objecting to giving up their masks. They claim they don't feel "safe."
The other is that people who don't have children want children to continue to wear masks. I guess they figure kids are germ-y.
I'm so DONE with masks.
Good luck with your little ones--keep them smiling!
It's crazy how many people have just checked out of society altogether with this mask thing. They like hiding. It's bananas.
https://www.newsweek.com/most-americans-say-theyll-keep-masks-even-if-mandates-go-away-poll-1680654
I remember a discussion on Quora a while ago where people were sharing their (non-covid) reasons for wearing a mask - someone had skin problems, someone hated smiling to customers, etc, etc. These people will cling to their masks for as long as they can while forcing them on the rest of us. It's like many parents wanted schools shut for non-covid reasons (because they could travel, etc)
Yes, Northern Ireland dropped mask requirements recently. In my town, maybe 90% still wearing them :-(
well this is amazing and just so everyone knows canada has now levelled up the fascism as under the emergencies act we are tracked for everything we say (yes i am sure this was done before) but now they can actually punish us. as of today. usually i would post this sort of info on my instagram stories but starting today i cannot. as a mother for 4 children how do i fight for my childrens future and if we effectively cannot speak. protesting is illegal now. they are even recording phone conversations. my 11 year old daughter said to me "mom, if we cant protest and we cant even share the info, how will it ever end?" and to that I had no answer.
so awful.
I'd suggest getting out of Canada. I was born in Canada and left to become an American many years ago. I was a child who asked my parents "what does it mean to be free?" so I saw long ago that freedom was at risk in Canada. The signs were there decades ago. Of course, freedom is always at risk everywhere but at least in the United States, the majority of the people still believe in freedom.
Oh, and it isn't easy to immigrate but right now, you have a golden opportunity to cross the border (by any means) and claim asylum.
As the State of the Union is looming, it’s likely restrictions will continue to fall here too. Biden will take credit for all we’ve done re: vaccines, COVID policies, etc. I wonder if CDC will recommend against masking . . . Gosh, it’s amazing how Dem governors and the entire western world (sans Canada) has this amazing coordinated messaging.
The CDC will not life masks in schools though. Their "thought partners" teachers union won't let them. They tried before.
Good for Iceland. But there it is again, “the vaccine prevents serious illness”. My experience on the street is, that statement is bunk. Studies seem to sometimes show a slight advantage. When you factor in the small percentage of devastating vaccine injuries, often among the young, this last canard is disturbing. After promising SOOO much the Vaccine Industrial Complex is down to, “well at least it prevents serious illness”- B.S.. this is criminal and I’m sick of hearing it.
If the Queen of England dies from Covid after being triple jabbed then maybe we can put to rest the idea that the jabs prevent serious illness?
Yes, I think time is the enemy of that statement and with each day that passes it is less true.
I still can't help but wonder... what's next?
And yet the WEF tyrant stooge Trudeau keeps his boot on the neck of people that don't want to be forced to take the clotshot.
Trudeau needs to feel some Ceacescu love
Hooray! Someone needs to tell Governor Inslee of WA. He still has mask mandates in effect until March 21st. I’m sure he choose this date because it is after March 17th (St Patrick’s day) when hundreds gather and celebrate in pubs. He is a total clown. He usually follows his blue brothers in Oregon and California but this time has stepped out of the box and independently made his decision and science be damned!
What else would we expect from another alumni of the WEF Young Global Leaders. What a disaster that man is.
My dad is visiting us in California from Washington right now and he says it's very strange to see so many faces.
It will be interesting to see how many masks come off when that date comes. Where I live in WA people seem to adore their masks and parade around outside, alone, with them on. It's very disheartening. I freely go everywhere without a mask.
Same where I live. You will see a few people here and there without masks but the majority are good little soldiers.
Meanwhile, back in the USSR, I mean USA, Biden has declared the national emergency declared on March 13, 2020, and beginning March 1, 2020, must continue in effect beyond March 1, 2022.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/02/18/notice-on-the-continuation-of-the-national-emergency-concerning-the-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-pandemic-2/
If you are curious about rules for termination go here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1622
All hail Emperor 💩 👖
bwahahaha!
This particular state of emergency doesn’t give the president any special powers other than to relax federal regulations to make make the unapproved tests and vaccines available and coverable by insurance, and making it easier to share test results (track and trace). Look at the original proclamation 9994 by Trump in March 2020 that Biden is simply renewing.
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/03/18/2020-05794/declaring-a-national-emergency-concerning-the-novel-coronavirus-disease-covid-19-outbreak
It’s been going on for almost two years now and so far all the tyrannical action has been at the state or local level. Biden tried and failed to do something at the federal level with the employer mandates but for the most part was stopped by the courts. And even then he wasn’t claiming to be exercising some special new power only open to him by the state of emergency. He was just using his regular executive discretion the same way Trump had cancelled CRT training for federal contractors.
who ever gave up their unlimited power voluntarily?
A LOT of people around me and were quite snotty when I didn't
