The best thing about the last few years was finding out exactly what everybody was really made of. It turns out a bunch of people I thought were wonderful human beings would have turned in Anne Frank and then bragged about it on social media.
And bonus points for also ratting out sister Margot and even more for burning that stupid book of Anne’s.
For a deeper treatment of how the most civilized country In Europe could have gone so barking mad over 1% of the population in 1933, check out Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men”.
Executive summary: Browning cites the conclusion of Milgram Experiment:
Read Mattias Desmet's recently published book: The Psychology of Totalitarianism for a cogent explanation of how this comes to be. His book is powerful, profoundly insightful, and worth pondering deeply. I'm in the process of rereading it. I think it's a monumentally important work.
For an absolutely staggering treatment of how authoritarian governments follow in the aftermath of pandemic infectious diseases, here is a link to Jordan Peterson discussing the Parasite Stress Hypothesis in 2017.
It seems that the Conscientiousness trait of Big 5 Personality Trait model can be subdivided into Hard-working and Orderly - and Orderly people have high Disgust Sensitivity.
Disgust sensitivity may be the biologically endowed substrate that gives rise to tribalism, I.e. we’re immune to our bugs we’re suspicious of yours. JP shows how Hitler wasn’t afraid of Jews but disgusted by them.
Authoritarians provide boundaries - so the next bug won’t get in. The jaw-dropping idea is that Xenophobia maybe rooted in biology, not merely in the shallow mind.
Didn’t Hitler initially whip up anti-Jewish hysteria by portraying Jews as disease vectors? There was huge emphasis on health in the Third Reich—Für ihre Sicherheit was the favored slogan.
I believe it started as a class war and after they found their "1%" they ramped up the rhetoric to include reasons that would make German's believe they were explicitly dangerous and not just "thieves".
Being part of the tribe and rejecting outsiders was a legit survival strategy for most of human existence. Allowing outsiders to infiltrate the tribe and take the resources of the tribe was near suicide. Allowing yourself to be thrown out of the tribe and having to subsist on your own was also near suicide.
Very interesting. I’m thinking of some orderly people I know. They’re very sensitive to ordinary things in a way that impedes them from living fully. They may be embarrassed to be found out in this weakness, and so they turn their inability to function into disgust or disparagement (or whatever other emotion they’re most comfortable funneling their inner turmoil through) of the person causing the “problem”, i.e., they externalize their problem. And when we do that we remain stuck. And this might also be why so many are still living the corona situation when it’s way past its time.
Not fully on board with "Types". But when you are sensitive to change, a paradigm shift like the past few years will bring out the best or worst. Externalizing the "problem" also magnifies it, for a sense of righteousness or purposefulness. Cue the masked hikers in the parks! I would add the loud, proud anti-maskers, but we are all here!
Absolutely correct - my wife is jabbed but not the kids or me. After some unhealthy debate (why don't you just do it and be done with it approach?) she has luckily realized her folly and will not be having a booster, no way Jose. Her brother is a doctor (cardiologist actually) and was first in the queue for his jabs - many times he admonished me for 'being stubborn' (like my own Doctor did frequently), but after being boosted and getting the rona he has become silent on the issue - while his wife is jabbed, the 4 kids remain unjabbed. So in summary while I I have not had relationships dissolve it is still very sad to see the true colours of people, especially family and friends. Actually, many folk I know actually almost apologize for having taken the poison now and I'd say a few have big regrets. I'm in Canada and I still cannot enter the US and have to quarantine for 14 days if I do return from abroad and there was me thinkin' that society only does that to the sick, not the healthy - silly me!! Go Dutch Farmers!!!!
I totally agree, we have now seen what our nation is made of. And you can see the division even now. We saw the brown shirts in the thirties, today it's masks that do nothing but virtue signal all the rightious, fearful pawns of the woke left. Does anyone ever question the true number of deaths due to the Wuhan Virus. I have first hand knowledge from an ER nurse that many a stroke or heart attack victim, or motor vehichle death was due to the virus, even as their brians were on the steering wheel. Another 1500 dollar bonus from corporate medical centers. We never hear the truth of natural immunity or the total ineffectiveness of face diapers. The overreach of politians, from both fucking parties, is responcible formost of the misery the country has had to endure. We really need to take a stand , if that's even possible. but I'm glad to read your comment and know I'm not alone. Am I wrong to believe that the many dark political powers in our country, maxists, collaberated with China to bring this plague to America, with the sole intent of taking us from prosperity under a great leader to poverty and the heavy handed authority of big brother so all these dark forses could gain more power. The human sacrifice was inconciquencial to them.
What has been revealed about human nature has been enlightening, for sure, but it has also been a lesson in humility too. Though I seem to have withstood this particular test, I can never again assume that I will remain faithful to my convictions given that so many around me - who I thought would - did not. Why did only a small percentage of us "get it?"
This is also my most burning question? I just don't get how those who I used to consider rational, reasonable, logical people fell so easily for the covid hysteria? And it really made me appreciate and respect my friends and peers who did not that much more.
Yes, I watched an interview with Mattias Desmet and he said there is usually a small percentage able to withstand mass formation. The ironic part is I am not particularly comfortable with being contrarian (and there are those who are), but I have been the odd-man out too many times in my life so clearly there is something innate about my skepticism/cynicism/contrarianism.
Me too. As a 2nd grade child I stood against my entire gym class including the gym teacher when picking odds for the world series. Now as an adult its basically the same scenario only this time its against my employer, my immediate family 💔 and the world.
In talking with others who also didn't buy the bs, many were emotionally manipulated and gaslighted as children. There is an immediate recognition of that past, and an immediate distrust. I don't know in which part of the 30/40/30 they fall....maybe across a few lines.
I am very distrusting, had an emotional rollercoaster of a childhood. Not sure if that made me less susceptible to all of this. I expect chaos and manipulation from people.
Trust your instincts Brena. Distrusting is a good thing these days. Sad as it is. I don't know what to expect from people, so I play it cool, let them speak first, and only give them what makes them comfortable. Without lying. It gives you an upper hand. The expectation of chaos and manipulation is a sign of childhood trauma. Been there. Do not discuss further on an open platform. Find a good therapist to help you work through it. You are obviously strong already. Stay strong and reclaim your SELF. Nobody owns you.
If you can count on ONE hand, the people you truly trust, you are very fortunate! And I mean TRUST…with your life. And you’ll know who those people are. These could be people you’d least likely expect.
You're not wrong about the Conformance Covidiots turning Anne Frank over to the Nazi's and then posting "I got my Covid shot !" on their profile page. The problem is that these people vote.
During the Trucker protests I was astounded by the number of people who were fine with police brutality to break it up. I responded by saying in Tiananmen Square they would have cheered for the tank.
I say that every day. Keep a list of their names, and don't ever let them try to convince you they weren't a part of this. Remember what they did to you and your fellow citizens and the children of this world.
Never, ever vote for the party (Democrats, and to be fair, a few Republican officeholders, but not the overall party, who still advocate vax mandates) that sent elderly people with covid back to nursing homes to die and infect others, that kept kids out of school for over a year. As Alex's non-COVID posts have shown, they just as wrong on other issues.
I can believe all these accounts. My husband and I have lost several friends over covid. We both had the original covid in March 2020 and have since refused getting the shots. We were on a zoom call with a very old friend who lives in NYC (we live in central California) and he tut tutted at us, said he was extremely disappointed in us and would not even consider our acquired immunity. So that was the end of a 40 year friendship in one 20 minute call. That's just one of many other situations we've encountered. It just makes me sick that so many have fallen hook, line, and sinker for all the propaganda and fear aimed at us from the federal, state, and local levels. And LA is heading for a mask mandate again at the end of this month. It will never stop.
Sad to hear. Perhaps you can take some solace in knowing that you are now a member of the Pure Blood Tribe - the most courageous, and elite freedom -fighting force in the country!
If you would like to breathe freer please pack up and come to Florida it's wonderful here just please do not bring democratic politics that voted for the idiots that did this stuff
Just arrived in TN two weeks ago. I'm hoping 1) TN doesn't change but 2) there isn't some OTHER hive mindset here that will ostracize me if I think differently. Agree totally about DeSantis.
I also came to TN from purple LA (the other one) where FJBE is still actively destroying my former home. I was never a threat to the voting dynamics of TN. Never forget what they did to you, [I]especially[/I] at the ballot box....
We packed up our family of 7 and left the OC just before Thanksgiving of 2021… I watched our adult children struggle to thrive and couldn’t take the insanity. My wife withdrew from the nursing program because of the vaccine mandates. We chose the Florida panhandle and besides the humidity it feels like freedom… small town interaction… plenty of job opportunities and an amazing love for the country!
Come to SC. We have been free here since June 2020. While Dem states were closing beaches and playgrounds we walked on the beach and swam in our community pool.
He really wasn't the friend you thought he was. I'm sorry you were treated so horribly by someone you thought was a friend. We've seen the true characters of so many people, haven't we?
I think the fact that my friend has lived in Manhattan for something like 30 years has created his 'hive mindset.' We have other friends in our old neighborhood in Oakland CA who wouldn't eat dinner outside with us at a restaurant on their way to LA b/c their doctor hostess in LA demanded to know who they were interacting with before they showed up at her house. And my neighbor/friend knew we weren't vaccinated but knew we had covid and so we got another cancellation. Just blows my little mind and not in a good way!
People lost their minds over the whole Covid fiasco. Even from the very beginning, I just couldn't understand being so fearful. The news media certainly gets an A+ for excellency in propaganda.
Yea I couldn't see my BFF at Christmas because her cousin wouldn't let her be around me if she wanted to see her family for Christmas. Now the cousin says its ok to see me and even invited me over- no thank you - never - ever-going to go back to see someone who ostracized me before. Have a shitty life you COVIDIOT!
Old Friends. It is very strange to be on the same/similar page as those for many years, decades. Then this one media manipulated event destroys a mutually understanding deeply important and nourishing relationship. Amazing how they did that to us. But it was a baked-in cake of MSM misguidance, a layer of "They Can't Be Trusted to Think", a cup of virtue-signalling, and a grand icing of weirdly polarized politics. Not that politics are not polarized, but never to this degree, extremism, and stacking moral belief systems as not seen in our lifetimes.
love the analogy, extremely well put, I think you absolutely nailed it on the head . Beautifully articulated I plan on stealing large pieces of it to use on my friends who do not read this and claim it as my own so I apologize now for that. For some reason I want a piece of cake
I sympathize with family turning on people. Happened to us. Never thought people would be so crazy. Thank god my wife and I got on the same page. My family are all unvaxxed hippies so at least one half of the family could care less.
I have found that too many of these self-proclaimed "hippies" lost their way and are full-on brainwashed lemmings. Maybe in the 60's and 70's they used up the verve needed to keep fighting The Establishment.
CSN back on Spotify! Turns out Woke really does = broke. They are all a bunch of Project Mockingbird kids of Military Intelligence anyway. Dave McGowan goes into this in great detail. It appears to be a long time hatching......
Fun fact: Michael Moore also only allows paying, fawning fans to comment on his page. If it is about money to pay for his Big Macs, I have no problem with it. But he casts it as an ideological measure to keep out “the haters”—in other words anyone who disagrees with his asinine Pharma product promotion.
Everyone now admits the vaccines do not stop infection or transmission, but says you get a milder case. Hmm. Michael, I can’t comment on your page but could someone get word to him that losing weight does the same thing. Hey I am not a hater but you don’t need that 4th booster! Just cut back on the beef stroganoff for a while.
California is filled with “Progressive” Concervatives... only thing worse than becoming old and worrying about safety and norms is pretending you are still a progressive.
As I have said before - the one time we REALLY needed the progressive left to do what they do best: organize and protest and march - and what did they do? THEY SIDED WITH A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION. And government coercion.
Seriously. i worked in the entertainment industry fo 25 years and all those "punks' I knew were the first ones to swallow the narrative and roll up their sleeves.
My NYC daughter has completely turned on her Texas family. The Mass Formation is real and she has succumbed completely. We may never see her again. It is truly as if she has died so then what is the point of her getting the injections if she is dead to her family. I cannot wrap my head around any of this complete nonsense.
I am so sorry! I have a son who had 2 jabs and a booster. He has not wanted me to say a thing about covid or the vaccine to him or his family. He just told me his family is not getting any more covid jabs, "but not because of those blog posts you have sent me." I don't know what changed his thinking, but I am comforted beyond measure. I pray the jabs they got don't kill them in the long run.
So sorry hopefully she will come around someday. My daughter disowned me too but luckily for me her BF's family thinks like me and so she finally saw the light.
Well thank you for giving me hope. Unfortunately our daughter's BF is from 2 Berkeley grads so no help for me there. I just pray that she will come visit us and see for herself how different it is in the real world. NYC is just crazy.
Early on in 2020, my Dad gave my wife a public scolding for not following the lockdown rules on Facebook (...) where she’d inadvertently posted a photo of our new born baby meeting my Mum for the first time. I told him to get a grip. He still hasn’t met my Son.
My grandma, his Mum, wouldn’t see me for around 6 months while she was dying of cancer (she was in remission before she took her miracle medicine) because I hadn’t “had my jabs”. She finally changed her mind, so we were allowed to visit a few times before she died.
This corona really sorted the wheat from the chaff.
I know a woman whose daughter gave birth (a daughter) in July of 2021. To this day my friend has still not met her 1st granddaughter in person because she is not injected. How is it NO ONE is held accountable for doing this psychological criminality to so many? Its just surreal to me not ONE person has been prosecuted for the fraud and its real impact on humanity in just this context alone!
Honestly? I think people that treat other human beings this way do not have a relationship with God, or true FAITH in God. The Bible speaks of what we are going through: brother against brother, mother against child, etc. When one trusts in God, fear rarely exists.
My mom has met my 3 year old niece only once before Covid. For the last year my SIL has forbidden my mom from visiting because she’s not vaccinated. She has only recently agreed to allow my mom to visit, but not without a litany of rules.
Nothing is worth following some crazy persons rules just to be in there presence. I’d tell her to fuck off and get back to me if you ever gain your sanity back. My cousin made his family take pcr tests to attend thanksgiving, at his MOTHERS home, I woulda told him to eat shit and die if I was invited. Nobody deserves that type of treatment from supposed family. Either you want my company or you don’t, I’m not offended if you don’t..have a nice life.
Agree 100% which is why my family won’t be visiting any time soon (or them visiting here because they of course wanted everyone to take rapid tests if they visit.) But my mom is almost 70 and wants to see her grandkids. She will probably agree to be tested but that is it.
Hearing this stuff makes me so grateful my parents were on team reality from the start. They never once questioned or second guessed a visit. To this day, I don't think it's even occurred to them in the first half of 2020 that they should have been "scared" for me to drive three hours to spend the weekend with them. Seeing their daughter always mattered more to them than the fear that was peddled. It's really dark that so many people felt otherwise.
My family died years ago, but knowing them, they would have laughed at this CONvid nonsense. My bf’s parents and brother are jabbed and are now seeing the danger of it (doc told them to get it). My bf was fired for not getting the jab (17 year career). There are a million things that should frighten people, but CONvid IS NOT ONE OF THEM! Shame on people that turn their back on their “brother” (family, friends, parents, etc.). I have pity on them…very sad. Pray for them.
What is dark is the intentionality in manipulation of peoples minds by the public entities such as the CDC, FDA, local public health officials etc. We the people pay for these entities and those entities who are suppose to be fully transparent and honest with the people. Sure one could say it's "our" choice to believe or not believe what they say, but just sayin. So many people lives were destroyed by following these entities which should be for the people's best interests and yet look what happens in reality and what happened with the great whu-flu scam-con of 2020
All these stories will be heart wrenching, and yet so necessary to share. The damage to individuals, families and society are enormous and we must never forget what each of us has endured and in most cases, lost. For me, I can very gratefully say that my family has grown closer, but we've all lost something. For me, it was my most beloved 30 year career in direct patient care. Thank you, Alex for giving us another forum to collectively share and hopefully, heal.
Similar, as a nurse and a lecturer of nursing pharmacology I read the Pfizer package insert to my class where it indicated there were no long term studies in pregnancy, lactation, and childbearing. This act ultimately ended my also very much loved career as a nurse educator.
Oh, Jan that's terrible! It is heartbreaking to me to see that ALL of healthcare has been captured by the federal money. It is wrong on so many levels.
Exactly, my former employer, a major researching institution is rumored to have taken 58 million to promote "mitigations," including and not limited to ridiculous signs all over a very large campus telling you which side of the hallway to walk on, plexiglass barriers everywhere, masking mandates, threats to students if they were found in violation even off campus, and most egregious essentially cash bribes to take injections. I'm not sure what the terms of the contract were but I'm guessing about 18 months because it all just suddenly stopped. They may have used money to pay people to take early retirement.
That took great courage to do! and I’m sorry to hear you suffered for that. I have been more impressed generally by the strength and common-sense wisdom of nurses than by many other groups of health care professionals the past 2.5 years.
Very sad, Jan. We have a nurse friend who also lost her job as a result of not taking the covid shots. This has been devastating to so many. My husband and I did not but other family members who took the shots pointed out we had more freedom with our decision as we are retired. I have wondered what we'd have done if that was not the case. Relieved that it was.
That is terrible. But on the other hand you know you did what you had to do. So anything that happened after must be “welcome”. Probably you saved some lives that day.
Jan. I am so, so sorry. We are starving for nurse educators. (I am a nurse.). This should have been a giant blinking red light to your students.
If nothing else happened with regard to the vaccines except the scenario you describe, that should have been enough of a warning that something was very, very wrong.
Notice now how none of those MSM sources and perps within the various corrupted agencies like the CDC, WHO, FDA, NIH etc, take take responsibility for ANY of this. It's as if they have simply moved on to next phase of agenda. The totality of the devastation to humanity is beyond words yet no ONE is remotely held accountable for any of it. In fact they are already building the new variant FEAR PORN to lock and mask into election season. Just when will those responsible for all these "crimes against humanity" be prosecuted. It's been 2.7 years now since the whu-flu lab release in China and not ONE perp or entity like Pharma, Media etc, has remotely been held to account. Not ONE! Never EVER forget who is responsible for all of this and continues to inflict even more damage as I write this. NEVER EVER FORGET! It's not like we do not KNOW who they are either. Just sayin...
You are preaching to the choir! I am stunned and amazed with what I've seen developed over the last 2 years, never thought this country would turn into this. Or witness this mass hysteria on this scale Where facts logic and reason seem to have no place and just utter insanity seems to spread like wildfire And then on top of all that to read these heart breaking just awful stories something must change there has to be some sort of Justice
Yep. Banned from my own father's funeral (a Danger to the Elderly, y'know), can't visit my sister in Canukistan or attend her wedding, labelled a "Trumper" by my brother because I refused the jab. Yup. There are quite a few clarities emerging now: a pre-print on Epoch Times a study on non-jabbed vs. jabbed which has already disappeared. Unjabbed are 0.4% of hospitalized, Brownstone.org always has well-constructed articles, Dr. Robert M continues to throw back the veil. Can't talk openly and honestly to oldest, dearest friends. A job well done WEF.
The OG anti-vaxxers were prominent Democrats. I'm sure you've seen the video of them all saying it's not safe and they won't take it............right until they win. Then they implement mandates that Biden said were unconstitutional during the election..........
Imagine the reaction if Trump had tried to mandate vaccines before he left office (or after he won). I'm pretty sure we'd see "vaccine sanctuary" states loudly proclaiming that bodily autonomy is uncompromisable.
Well, that's just it, isn't it? Whether you like or hate Trump, anyone with a clear-eyed view of the state of things realizes that he exposed all the bold-faced liars. Imagine if any one of Trump's kids had done half the stuff of Hunter Biden. It'd be "worse than Watergate" I tell you! "Walls would be closing in!"
Trump had an AMAZING sense for bullshit. Even if he couldn't explain why, he knew it the minute he saw it. Do a YouTube search for Ali G & Trump. While Ali G (in reality, Sasha Baron Cohen) managed to embarrass many public figures, Trump didn't fall for it for one minute.
That is very sad indeed, Your family (especially your brother) should be ashamed of themselves. Not welcome at your own fathers funeral is heartbreaking. I hope you have some immediate family that are sensible.
I am of the opinion that we need to go - whether welcome or not. We need to KEEP reminding them that they are WRONG. That they do not have the right to ban us from ANYTHING!!
Thanks Debby. It was a very painful experience. Rest of family has drunk the Kool-aid. They are all jabbed and boosted, but caught the bug anyway (it was a nasty experience for them). Of course it could have been much worse without the jabs because that's what the experts keep saying. Doubt they will ever wake up, although I keep hoping.
That line drives me absolutely crazy. How can you know it was worse/better? It is not like you get a do-over to compare and say'yes, it was MUCH worse without the jab'l!' Unreal....
Oh the jab is definitely worse! But subliminal messaging is a powerful tool. I hear the same identically worded messaging parroted back to me by friends and family who swallow the lies. Scary as heck.
This is awful. The federal and many State agencies have lost the trust of much of the population. I was house hunting in Florida in the winter of 2020. I had to return to Michigan where I lived for over 30 years, in order to sell my house and move. I could not believe the day to day difference’s between the two states. My relatives in Michigan kid’s schools were closed at the drop of a hat. In Florida the school busses arrived every day to pick up the kids in my and every other neighborhood in the state.
And mosquitoes don't forget the mosquitoes some of them are as large as birds, they can literally carry off a Chihuahua so if you're a Democrat voter keep that in mind they absolutely love attacking democrats for some reason It's if they just know something's wrong with them they like feasting on their blood. Because they're mostly weak and easy prey ,t's simply horrifying hundreds of hundreds of mosquitoes the size of mockingbirds. If you want to come here and back The greatest governor in the country . we welcome you And if not you get fed to the gators, whatever the skeeters leave behind
I live in a small town in Ontario, Canada and we have sinkholes, massive mosquitoes, and we just had a tornado. I think I've completed my Florida training, now If I could just get into the US!
Love my racers, our ecosystem friends! They are non-venomous, and munch on all the rodents with which we prefer not sharing our home and yard. Bring on the snakes!
Schneile, my neighbors think I'm crazy for being excited to have rat snakes and racers pop up in our pastures.
I think they are crazy for killing off harmless rodent control! Told them me or my 7 year old can run over and catch the garter snakes they keep killing, if they want them gone. 😂
One wag named Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitemer Indiana's Businessperson of the Year. So many Michiganders were coming to Indiana for haircuts and shopping because of her policies. Thanks, Gretchen!
As a Floridian, it was surreal to read all of the horror stories regarding covid hysteria from other states. It felt like I was reading about far-away, 3rd-world countries, simply couldn't (and still can't) believe these stories came from within the USA. Extremely thankful to be a Floridian and under the governance of Desantis... And to think that Andrew Gillum damn near won - a terrifying thought...
When I was house hunting in Florida in February of 2020 I was told that the local police in my hometown in Michigan were handing out $250 tickets to people who were walking out of Home Depot with “non essential” items like paint.
Those stories are heartbreaking, and puts my own Covid woes into perspective. I think I will give my hubby a big kiss when he gets home. ❤️ Thank God we are on the same page about this political BS.
I am forced into retirement by a vax mandate. It has spoiled one important relationship but fortunately those in my family who disagree are not the ostracizing types. Even though I have studied this every day for over a year - all the aspects of this including the science and the WEF agenda are that involved - I still am dumbstruck at the mass formation (read “The Psychology of Totalitarianism”, which explains it well) and blithering ignorance I see repeatedly. I guess the rush to call Anne Frank someone with white privilege, as was done on Twitter recently, and the ensuing absurdity of the analysis, shows this Branch Covidians crap as a symptom of a rapidly disintegrated society-exactly what the globalists want.
Ernie - once you see it (the manipulation, political hijacking, media manipulation) you can never un-see it. It is a new frontier. How cleverly they divided us, and still continue to divide.
I was seeing some of my former workmates online and one said he wished I would come around (not said nastily). I said “I can’t unsee what I’ve seen”. How true that is, mercifully.
I know. Fortunately for me the HR enforcers accepted my lengthy religious exemption, while firing many others for not getting jabbed. Now I walk around work (mandatorily) masked, looking at all the people unmasked - knowing they all think I am an idiot, but I look at them, (my head held high), with pity and at our dear "leaders" with disgust- I just can't get over the fact of what they did to their employees that they always say they care so much for (and their customers that they also mandated be vaxed). Makes me sick. (Yes I am looking for another job-for a company that did not do that to their employees)
These stories come from America where the restrictions were LESS than most other places.
Imagine if we could get some of the stories from the Chinese people in Shanghai who were locked in their homes and saw their dogs and cats beaten to death in the streets.
I'd like to hear from Australians who were forced into "quarantine camps" or Canadians who had their bank accounts frozen because they didn't believe the "right" things.
But the greatest damage had to be inflicted on those who are too young to tell their stories. The children who missed the critical window in which their brains learn to read faces. The children who didn't learn to pronounce words because they couldn't see other human mouths working. The damage the Covid crazies did to the world is impossible to overstate.
So true, KLG. There is a very ugly side to this, and the generational damage will be horrific. I can't get the image of those Shanghai cats and dogs out of my mind. How low have we as people have fallen? Not that those lives were more important than the humans locked into their apartments, but the entire situation was very shocking.
I obviously also cannot forget those pets who suffered such a horrific fate. I consider my pets to be family members. I'm going to leave it at that so that I don't sound like a complete crazy person - even though when it comes to my pets, I am a little crazed with how wonderful I think they are.
Yep, especially when our betters leave uncorrected the carefully crafted implication that, if only everyone had taken the vaccine, there would be no variants infecting the vaccinated.
These stories tell me my family was very fortunate. Neither the wife or I, the three sons and their wives/fiancees or our grandchildren were vaccinated. Neighbors on both sides refused the vax except for one who did it so he could see his grandchildren who lived California (naturally-so many fruits and nuts there). My wife was one of the first to catch on to the farce. Although we circulated in public at will often without masks when we could, none of us caught Covid. There was no turmoil. We stood up for each other and told others we would not take an experimental drug that altered our immune system. One son quit a defense contractor requiring vaxes. Now I see the vaxed rapidly losing their memory, others experiencing unusual symptoms and dropping out of social activity, some experiencing debilitating stenosis and many catching Covid. And the number of "mysterious and unexplained" early deaths reported in the news. It is very sad to to see the physical and emotional pain others have experienced mainly because some family member adamantly believed the medical authorities and refused to do the research and think for themselves. People making emotional decisions with out of control egos that never admit they are wrong leads to disastrous results affecting many besides themselves. We are very fortunate indeed!
I fear that we all have a story. Every single person has had a relationship end over this madness. My family has shunned myself and my children because we are unvaxxed. My husband was mandated and I still cry with worry over it. It’s beyond disgusting what has been done. And it was on purpose. To all the other commentators who have already stated “you cannot unsee what you’ve already seen” is on target. Most of us know exactly where this is heading. It makes me crazy that others don’t see it. Ignorance truly is bliss.
Every. Single. Person. I personally lost several close friends (we met in a support group for moms who’ve lost babies, a bond I thought couldn’t be destroyed but was ).
You are so right Katie - we have all been affected by this complete craziness. We lost a daughter to the madness. She refuses to be around us because we did not take injections. Thank GOD our daughter with grandkids did not buy in to the nonsense. Also the family members who are non injectors are now our very best friends and we support each other every single day. We must stand firm against the totalitarianism.
The best thing about the last few years was finding out exactly what everybody was really made of. It turns out a bunch of people I thought were wonderful human beings would have turned in Anne Frank and then bragged about it on social media.
And bonus points for also ratting out sister Margot and even more for burning that stupid book of Anne’s.
For a deeper treatment of how the most civilized country In Europe could have gone so barking mad over 1% of the population in 1933, check out Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men”.
Executive summary: Browning cites the conclusion of Milgram Experiment:
Q: How do you get people to kill other people?
A: Easily.
Also check out the great book "Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust."
Read Mattias Desmet's recently published book: The Psychology of Totalitarianism for a cogent explanation of how this comes to be. His book is powerful, profoundly insightful, and worth pondering deeply. I'm in the process of rereading it. I think it's a monumentally important work.
Thanks - getting it now.
For an absolutely staggering treatment of how authoritarian governments follow in the aftermath of pandemic infectious diseases, here is a link to Jordan Peterson discussing the Parasite Stress Hypothesis in 2017.
It seems that the Conscientiousness trait of Big 5 Personality Trait model can be subdivided into Hard-working and Orderly - and Orderly people have high Disgust Sensitivity.
Disgust sensitivity may be the biologically endowed substrate that gives rise to tribalism, I.e. we’re immune to our bugs we’re suspicious of yours. JP shows how Hitler wasn’t afraid of Jews but disgusted by them.
Authoritarians provide boundaries - so the next bug won’t get in. The jaw-dropping idea is that Xenophobia maybe rooted in biology, not merely in the shallow mind.

Didn’t Hitler initially whip up anti-Jewish hysteria by portraying Jews as disease vectors? There was huge emphasis on health in the Third Reich—Für ihre Sicherheit was the favored slogan.
I believe it started as a class war and after they found their "1%" they ramped up the rhetoric to include reasons that would make German's believe they were explicitly dangerous and not just "thieves".
Für ihre Sicherheit means "for your safety/security", not "for your health". That would have been Für ihre Gesundheit.
As Hitler was ascending, he embarked on a factory beautification program which called for plantings outside and the extermination of vermin inside.
They biocide they used was hydrogen cyanide - known unforgettably as Zyklon B.
Thanks! I've been loving his recent work.
This Paul Levy book is great, too, about the Wetiko mind-virus: https://www.awakeninthedream.com/wetiko-book.
Hey Beth Dutton!
Right between the eyes - or should I say right in the Third Eye with that one. Slots in with my Shamanic Trainings. 🙏🏼
That's so great to hear! I think you'll really love the work of Paul Levy, especially his latest book on the mind-virus. Brilliant writer.
" The jaw-dropping idea is that Xenophobia maybe rooted in biology, not merely in the shallow mind."
I can't tell if calling this jaw dropping is sarcastic or serious.
To me its always been a "Duh" thing. Fearing the other isn't a phobia, its a no-brainer.
Being part of the tribe and rejecting outsiders was a legit survival strategy for most of human existence. Allowing outsiders to infiltrate the tribe and take the resources of the tribe was near suicide. Allowing yourself to be thrown out of the tribe and having to subsist on your own was also near suicide.
Very interesting. I’m thinking of some orderly people I know. They’re very sensitive to ordinary things in a way that impedes them from living fully. They may be embarrassed to be found out in this weakness, and so they turn their inability to function into disgust or disparagement (or whatever other emotion they’re most comfortable funneling their inner turmoil through) of the person causing the “problem”, i.e., they externalize their problem. And when we do that we remain stuck. And this might also be why so many are still living the corona situation when it’s way past its time.
Not fully on board with "Types". But when you are sensitive to change, a paradigm shift like the past few years will bring out the best or worst. Externalizing the "problem" also magnifies it, for a sense of righteousness or purposefulness. Cue the masked hikers in the parks! I would add the loud, proud anti-maskers, but we are all here!
Great recommendation. Everyone should read this book.
Absolutely correct - my wife is jabbed but not the kids or me. After some unhealthy debate (why don't you just do it and be done with it approach?) she has luckily realized her folly and will not be having a booster, no way Jose. Her brother is a doctor (cardiologist actually) and was first in the queue for his jabs - many times he admonished me for 'being stubborn' (like my own Doctor did frequently), but after being boosted and getting the rona he has become silent on the issue - while his wife is jabbed, the 4 kids remain unjabbed. So in summary while I I have not had relationships dissolve it is still very sad to see the true colours of people, especially family and friends. Actually, many folk I know actually almost apologize for having taken the poison now and I'd say a few have big regrets. I'm in Canada and I still cannot enter the US and have to quarantine for 14 days if I do return from abroad and there was me thinkin' that society only does that to the sick, not the healthy - silly me!! Go Dutch Farmers!!!!
Damn straight! Everyone had a chance to show you who they really are. In a way, it is freeing, to see where you stand.
totally. The pandemic has stripped away all pretenses of where you stand as a human.
Haha! I found out where I stand. A huge wake-up call. Yes, almost everyone let me down, but then I let myself down in my response.
It’s also freeing to find out who can/can’t be trusted to look before they leap.
Well said.
Yes. Exactly. Ordinary men. It had happened before, it is happening now.
So we’ll stated! At least the mask makes them quite easy to identify... 😷 🎭
I totally agree, we have now seen what our nation is made of. And you can see the division even now. We saw the brown shirts in the thirties, today it's masks that do nothing but virtue signal all the rightious, fearful pawns of the woke left. Does anyone ever question the true number of deaths due to the Wuhan Virus. I have first hand knowledge from an ER nurse that many a stroke or heart attack victim, or motor vehichle death was due to the virus, even as their brians were on the steering wheel. Another 1500 dollar bonus from corporate medical centers. We never hear the truth of natural immunity or the total ineffectiveness of face diapers. The overreach of politians, from both fucking parties, is responcible formost of the misery the country has had to endure. We really need to take a stand , if that's even possible. but I'm glad to read your comment and know I'm not alone. Am I wrong to believe that the many dark political powers in our country, maxists, collaberated with China to bring this plague to America, with the sole intent of taking us from prosperity under a great leader to poverty and the heavy handed authority of big brother so all these dark forses could gain more power. The human sacrifice was inconciquencial to them.
Preach!!
Thankyou, and I will keep on with the good fight.
What has been revealed about human nature has been enlightening, for sure, but it has also been a lesson in humility too. Though I seem to have withstood this particular test, I can never again assume that I will remain faithful to my convictions given that so many around me - who I thought would - did not. Why did only a small percentage of us "get it?"
This is also my most burning question? I just don't get how those who I used to consider rational, reasonable, logical people fell so easily for the covid hysteria? And it really made me appreciate and respect my friends and peers who did not that much more.
I ask myself that question constantly. Why did I 'see' it? If we go by mass psychosis theory, 30% of people were not duped by any of this.
Yes, I watched an interview with Mattias Desmet and he said there is usually a small percentage able to withstand mass formation. The ironic part is I am not particularly comfortable with being contrarian (and there are those who are), but I have been the odd-man out too many times in my life so clearly there is something innate about my skepticism/cynicism/contrarianism.
Me too. As a 2nd grade child I stood against my entire gym class including the gym teacher when picking odds for the world series. Now as an adult its basically the same scenario only this time its against my employer, my immediate family 💔 and the world.
In talking with others who also didn't buy the bs, many were emotionally manipulated and gaslighted as children. There is an immediate recognition of that past, and an immediate distrust. I don't know in which part of the 30/40/30 they fall....maybe across a few lines.
I am very distrusting, had an emotional rollercoaster of a childhood. Not sure if that made me less susceptible to all of this. I expect chaos and manipulation from people.
Trust your instincts Brena. Distrusting is a good thing these days. Sad as it is. I don't know what to expect from people, so I play it cool, let them speak first, and only give them what makes them comfortable. Without lying. It gives you an upper hand. The expectation of chaos and manipulation is a sign of childhood trauma. Been there. Do not discuss further on an open platform. Find a good therapist to help you work through it. You are obviously strong already. Stay strong and reclaim your SELF. Nobody owns you.
I actually wrote about this a while back, there's lots of good stories in the comments as well -- add yours! :)
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/why-are-you-like-this
I’ve thought the exact same thing. God have mercy.
I can tell you my trust in most people has taken a serious downturn as a result of all this covid-19 business.
And sadly, my trust in the medical community in general has tanked. Maybe that's a dangerous attitude but, after this virus they own it.
If you can count on ONE hand, the people you truly trust, you are very fortunate! And I mean TRUST…with your life. And you’ll know who those people are. These could be people you’d least likely expect.
You're not wrong about the Conformance Covidiots turning Anne Frank over to the Nazi's and then posting "I got my Covid shot !" on their profile page. The problem is that these people vote.
And reproduce. And now they're going to shoot up their kids. :(
During the Trucker protests I was astounded by the number of people who were fine with police brutality to break it up. I responded by saying in Tiananmen Square they would have cheered for the tank.
So very true.
Great comment!
Never forget what these psychos did to us. Ever.
I say that every day. Keep a list of their names, and don't ever let them try to convince you they weren't a part of this. Remember what they did to you and your fellow citizens and the children of this world.
Like Arya Stark counting her list at the end of each day.
YES! Hero!
Exactly!
Never, ever vote for the party (Democrats, and to be fair, a few Republican officeholders, but not the overall party, who still advocate vax mandates) that sent elderly people with covid back to nursing homes to die and infect others, that kept kids out of school for over a year. As Alex's non-COVID posts have shown, they just as wrong on other issues.
I can believe all these accounts. My husband and I have lost several friends over covid. We both had the original covid in March 2020 and have since refused getting the shots. We were on a zoom call with a very old friend who lives in NYC (we live in central California) and he tut tutted at us, said he was extremely disappointed in us and would not even consider our acquired immunity. So that was the end of a 40 year friendship in one 20 minute call. That's just one of many other situations we've encountered. It just makes me sick that so many have fallen hook, line, and sinker for all the propaganda and fear aimed at us from the federal, state, and local levels. And LA is heading for a mask mandate again at the end of this month. It will never stop.
Sad to hear. Perhaps you can take some solace in knowing that you are now a member of the Pure Blood Tribe - the most courageous, and elite freedom -fighting force in the country!
AMEN ALAN! 🩸✝️
😊
If you would like to breathe freer please pack up and come to Florida it's wonderful here just please do not bring democratic politics that voted for the idiots that did this stuff
We are leaving CA to either Florida, TN, or SC. I'm a 'former demo' and now a conservative and DeSantis is my hero!
We are leaving PA for either SC or FL. Also love DeSantis. Never living in a blue state again!
Just arrived in TN two weeks ago. I'm hoping 1) TN doesn't change but 2) there isn't some OTHER hive mindset here that will ostracize me if I think differently. Agree totally about DeSantis.
I also came to TN from purple LA (the other one) where FJBE is still actively destroying my former home. I was never a threat to the voting dynamics of TN. Never forget what they did to you, [I]especially[/I] at the ballot box....
We packed up our family of 7 and left the OC just before Thanksgiving of 2021… I watched our adult children struggle to thrive and couldn’t take the insanity. My wife withdrew from the nursing program because of the vaccine mandates. We chose the Florida panhandle and besides the humidity it feels like freedom… small town interaction… plenty of job opportunities and an amazing love for the country!
Yes, he is a hero. We love him. And if you do move here support him with all you have.
Come to SC. We have been free here since June 2020. While Dem states were closing beaches and playgrounds we walked on the beach and swam in our community pool.
You’re not the only one. Former Dem here.
He really wasn't the friend you thought he was. I'm sorry you were treated so horribly by someone you thought was a friend. We've seen the true characters of so many people, haven't we?
I think the fact that my friend has lived in Manhattan for something like 30 years has created his 'hive mindset.' We have other friends in our old neighborhood in Oakland CA who wouldn't eat dinner outside with us at a restaurant on their way to LA b/c their doctor hostess in LA demanded to know who they were interacting with before they showed up at her house. And my neighbor/friend knew we weren't vaccinated but knew we had covid and so we got another cancellation. Just blows my little mind and not in a good way!
People lost their minds over the whole Covid fiasco. Even from the very beginning, I just couldn't understand being so fearful. The news media certainly gets an A+ for excellency in propaganda.
The media does not get an A+. The media is teaching the class! (I tease, but we are in complete agreement, Kristin.)
Ha! So true!
Oh, definitely a big fat F for lying!
Like the ‘hive mindset’. Perfect descriptor—like group think—but more broad.👍🏻
Yea I couldn't see my BFF at Christmas because her cousin wouldn't let her be around me if she wanted to see her family for Christmas. Now the cousin says its ok to see me and even invited me over- no thank you - never - ever-going to go back to see someone who ostracized me before. Have a shitty life you COVIDIOT!
True.
Old Friends. It is very strange to be on the same/similar page as those for many years, decades. Then this one media manipulated event destroys a mutually understanding deeply important and nourishing relationship. Amazing how they did that to us. But it was a baked-in cake of MSM misguidance, a layer of "They Can't Be Trusted to Think", a cup of virtue-signalling, and a grand icing of weirdly polarized politics. Not that politics are not polarized, but never to this degree, extremism, and stacking moral belief systems as not seen in our lifetimes.
love the analogy, extremely well put, I think you absolutely nailed it on the head . Beautifully articulated I plan on stealing large pieces of it to use on my friends who do not read this and claim it as my own so I apologize now for that. For some reason I want a piece of cake
You can have your cake and eat it ;-)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Feels good to have a little laugh! Thanks!
Sad. I’m in the same boat.
Yes it will!!
I sympathize with family turning on people. Happened to us. Never thought people would be so crazy. Thank god my wife and I got on the same page. My family are all unvaxxed hippies so at least one half of the family could care less.
I have found that too many of these self-proclaimed "hippies" lost their way and are full-on brainwashed lemmings. Maybe in the 60's and 70's they used up the verve needed to keep fighting The Establishment.
Neil Young springs to mind.
Ditto Michael Moore who actually said “the good people (vaccinated)”. What a brainwashed chump.
Perfect example.
CSN back on Spotify! Turns out Woke really does = broke. They are all a bunch of Project Mockingbird kids of Military Intelligence anyway. Dave McGowan goes into this in great detail. It appears to be a long time hatching......
Fun fact: Michael Moore also only allows paying, fawning fans to comment on his page. If it is about money to pay for his Big Macs, I have no problem with it. But he casts it as an ideological measure to keep out “the haters”—in other words anyone who disagrees with his asinine Pharma product promotion.
Everyone now admits the vaccines do not stop infection or transmission, but says you get a milder case. Hmm. Michael, I can’t comment on your page but could someone get word to him that losing weight does the same thing. Hey I am not a hater but you don’t need that 4th booster! Just cut back on the beef stroganoff for a while.
How weak he is!
California is filled with “Progressive” Concervatives... only thing worse than becoming old and worrying about safety and norms is pretending you are still a progressive.
As I have said before - the one time we REALLY needed the progressive left to do what they do best: organize and protest and march - and what did they do? THEY SIDED WITH A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION. And government coercion.
I still can’t quite believe it.
Seriously. i worked in the entertainment industry fo 25 years and all those "punks' I knew were the first ones to swallow the narrative and roll up their sleeves.
My NYC daughter has completely turned on her Texas family. The Mass Formation is real and she has succumbed completely. We may never see her again. It is truly as if she has died so then what is the point of her getting the injections if she is dead to her family. I cannot wrap my head around any of this complete nonsense.
I'm so sorry, I understand the pain. I've lost people too.
I am so sorry! I have a son who had 2 jabs and a booster. He has not wanted me to say a thing about covid or the vaccine to him or his family. He just told me his family is not getting any more covid jabs, "but not because of those blog posts you have sent me." I don't know what changed his thinking, but I am comforted beyond measure. I pray the jabs they got don't kill them in the long run.
So sorry hopefully she will come around someday. My daughter disowned me too but luckily for me her BF's family thinks like me and so she finally saw the light.
Well thank you for giving me hope. Unfortunately our daughter's BF is from 2 Berkeley grads so no help for me there. I just pray that she will come visit us and see for herself how different it is in the real world. NYC is just crazy.
Early on in 2020, my Dad gave my wife a public scolding for not following the lockdown rules on Facebook (...) where she’d inadvertently posted a photo of our new born baby meeting my Mum for the first time. I told him to get a grip. He still hasn’t met my Son.
My grandma, his Mum, wouldn’t see me for around 6 months while she was dying of cancer (she was in remission before she took her miracle medicine) because I hadn’t “had my jabs”. She finally changed her mind, so we were allowed to visit a few times before she died.
This corona really sorted the wheat from the chaff.
I know a woman whose daughter gave birth (a daughter) in July of 2021. To this day my friend has still not met her 1st granddaughter in person because she is not injected. How is it NO ONE is held accountable for doing this psychological criminality to so many? Its just surreal to me not ONE person has been prosecuted for the fraud and its real impact on humanity in just this context alone!
Honestly? I think people that treat other human beings this way do not have a relationship with God, or true FAITH in God. The Bible speaks of what we are going through: brother against brother, mother against child, etc. When one trusts in God, fear rarely exists.
My mom has met my 3 year old niece only once before Covid. For the last year my SIL has forbidden my mom from visiting because she’s not vaccinated. She has only recently agreed to allow my mom to visit, but not without a litany of rules.
Nothing is worth following some crazy persons rules just to be in there presence. I’d tell her to fuck off and get back to me if you ever gain your sanity back. My cousin made his family take pcr tests to attend thanksgiving, at his MOTHERS home, I woulda told him to eat shit and die if I was invited. Nobody deserves that type of treatment from supposed family. Either you want my company or you don’t, I’m not offended if you don’t..have a nice life.
Agree 100% which is why my family won’t be visiting any time soon (or them visiting here because they of course wanted everyone to take rapid tests if they visit.) But my mom is almost 70 and wants to see her grandkids. She will probably agree to be tested but that is it.
Hearing this stuff makes me so grateful my parents were on team reality from the start. They never once questioned or second guessed a visit. To this day, I don't think it's even occurred to them in the first half of 2020 that they should have been "scared" for me to drive three hours to spend the weekend with them. Seeing their daughter always mattered more to them than the fear that was peddled. It's really dark that so many people felt otherwise.
My family died years ago, but knowing them, they would have laughed at this CONvid nonsense. My bf’s parents and brother are jabbed and are now seeing the danger of it (doc told them to get it). My bf was fired for not getting the jab (17 year career). There are a million things that should frighten people, but CONvid IS NOT ONE OF THEM! Shame on people that turn their back on their “brother” (family, friends, parents, etc.). I have pity on them…very sad. Pray for them.
What is dark is the intentionality in manipulation of peoples minds by the public entities such as the CDC, FDA, local public health officials etc. We the people pay for these entities and those entities who are suppose to be fully transparent and honest with the people. Sure one could say it's "our" choice to believe or not believe what they say, but just sayin. So many people lives were destroyed by following these entities which should be for the people's best interests and yet look what happens in reality and what happened with the great whu-flu scam-con of 2020
All these stories will be heart wrenching, and yet so necessary to share. The damage to individuals, families and society are enormous and we must never forget what each of us has endured and in most cases, lost. For me, I can very gratefully say that my family has grown closer, but we've all lost something. For me, it was my most beloved 30 year career in direct patient care. Thank you, Alex for giving us another forum to collectively share and hopefully, heal.
Similar, as a nurse and a lecturer of nursing pharmacology I read the Pfizer package insert to my class where it indicated there were no long term studies in pregnancy, lactation, and childbearing. This act ultimately ended my also very much loved career as a nurse educator.
Oh, Jan that's terrible! It is heartbreaking to me to see that ALL of healthcare has been captured by the federal money. It is wrong on so many levels.
Exactly, my former employer, a major researching institution is rumored to have taken 58 million to promote "mitigations," including and not limited to ridiculous signs all over a very large campus telling you which side of the hallway to walk on, plexiglass barriers everywhere, masking mandates, threats to students if they were found in violation even off campus, and most egregious essentially cash bribes to take injections. I'm not sure what the terms of the contract were but I'm guessing about 18 months because it all just suddenly stopped. They may have used money to pay people to take early retirement.
That took great courage to do! and I’m sorry to hear you suffered for that. I have been more impressed generally by the strength and common-sense wisdom of nurses than by many other groups of health care professionals the past 2.5 years.
You are heroic, never forget that. A very courageous and all too rare act.
Very sad, Jan. We have a nurse friend who also lost her job as a result of not taking the covid shots. This has been devastating to so many. My husband and I did not but other family members who took the shots pointed out we had more freedom with our decision as we are retired. I have wondered what we'd have done if that was not the case. Relieved that it was.
That is terrible. But on the other hand you know you did what you had to do. So anything that happened after must be “welcome”. Probably you saved some lives that day.
Jan. I am so, so sorry. We are starving for nurse educators. (I am a nurse.). This should have been a giant blinking red light to your students.
If nothing else happened with regard to the vaccines except the scenario you describe, that should have been enough of a warning that something was very, very wrong.
Notice now how none of those MSM sources and perps within the various corrupted agencies like the CDC, WHO, FDA, NIH etc, take take responsibility for ANY of this. It's as if they have simply moved on to next phase of agenda. The totality of the devastation to humanity is beyond words yet no ONE is remotely held accountable for any of it. In fact they are already building the new variant FEAR PORN to lock and mask into election season. Just when will those responsible for all these "crimes against humanity" be prosecuted. It's been 2.7 years now since the whu-flu lab release in China and not ONE perp or entity like Pharma, Media etc, has remotely been held to account. Not ONE! Never EVER forget who is responsible for all of this and continues to inflict even more damage as I write this. NEVER EVER FORGET! It's not like we do not KNOW who they are either. Just sayin...
They now know how to manipulate the majority (all of the people, some of the time). No idea how this can be reversed. But you are right about them adding cars to the locomotive of disinformation. An Uruguayan judge took it upon himself to request data from Pfizer in advance of kiddie-jabs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/uruguay-suspends-covid-vaccination-for-children-under-13/2022/07/07/5fb0b818-fe41-11ec-b39d-71309168014b_story.html. There are heroes in the world still.
You are preaching to the choir! I am stunned and amazed with what I've seen developed over the last 2 years, never thought this country would turn into this. Or witness this mass hysteria on this scale Where facts logic and reason seem to have no place and just utter insanity seems to spread like wildfire And then on top of all that to read these heart breaking just awful stories something must change there has to be some sort of Justice
Yep. Banned from my own father's funeral (a Danger to the Elderly, y'know), can't visit my sister in Canukistan or attend her wedding, labelled a "Trumper" by my brother because I refused the jab. Yup. There are quite a few clarities emerging now: a pre-print on Epoch Times a study on non-jabbed vs. jabbed which has already disappeared. Unjabbed are 0.4% of hospitalized, Brownstone.org always has well-constructed articles, Dr. Robert M continues to throw back the veil. Can't talk openly and honestly to oldest, dearest friends. A job well done WEF.
The OG anti-vaxxers were prominent Democrats. I'm sure you've seen the video of them all saying it's not safe and they won't take it............right until they win. Then they implement mandates that Biden said were unconstitutional during the election..........
Imagine the reaction if Trump had tried to mandate vaccines before he left office (or after he won). I'm pretty sure we'd see "vaccine sanctuary" states loudly proclaiming that bodily autonomy is uncompromisable.
Well, that's just it, isn't it? Whether you like or hate Trump, anyone with a clear-eyed view of the state of things realizes that he exposed all the bold-faced liars. Imagine if any one of Trump's kids had done half the stuff of Hunter Biden. It'd be "worse than Watergate" I tell you! "Walls would be closing in!"
Hindsight being 20/20 (always), Trump advocated alternative (cheap non-pharma) therapeutics. Although I don't know how he survived the Remdisivir. He saw through Fauci, implemented Schedule F https://brownstone.org/articles/the-senior-executive-service-heart-of-the-medical-deep-state/, and for a broader view, Threadsirish is pulling together very interesting insights into the global perspective of this hijacked, politicized, money-making literal non-event. https://threadsirish.substack.com/
Trump had an AMAZING sense for bullshit. Even if he couldn't explain why, he knew it the minute he saw it. Do a YouTube search for Ali G & Trump. While Ali G (in reality, Sasha Baron Cohen) managed to embarrass many public figures, Trump didn't fall for it for one minute.
"You can't bullshit a bullshitter."
I heard the same from folks in the building industry. He built a lot of private enterprises, and was a savvy negotiator. They respect him.
You might enjoy this cynical, manipulative piece; we "appropiated" "My body, my choice," don't ya know... https://laist.com/news/health/my-body-my-choice-vaccines
That is very sad indeed, Your family (especially your brother) should be ashamed of themselves. Not welcome at your own fathers funeral is heartbreaking. I hope you have some immediate family that are sensible.
I am of the opinion that we need to go - whether welcome or not. We need to KEEP reminding them that they are WRONG. That they do not have the right to ban us from ANYTHING!!
Thanks Debby. It was a very painful experience. Rest of family has drunk the Kool-aid. They are all jabbed and boosted, but caught the bug anyway (it was a nasty experience for them). Of course it could have been much worse without the jabs because that's what the experts keep saying. Doubt they will ever wake up, although I keep hoping.
That line drives me absolutely crazy. How can you know it was worse/better? It is not like you get a do-over to compare and say'yes, it was MUCH worse without the jab'l!' Unreal....
Oh the jab is definitely worse! But subliminal messaging is a powerful tool. I hear the same identically worded messaging parroted back to me by friends and family who swallow the lies. Scary as heck.
Remember all Biden said about the non injected. How he was able to get away with that is criminal and it's simply explained away as politics
This is awful. The federal and many State agencies have lost the trust of much of the population. I was house hunting in Florida in the winter of 2020. I had to return to Michigan where I lived for over 30 years, in order to sell my house and move. I could not believe the day to day difference’s between the two states. My relatives in Michigan kid’s schools were closed at the drop of a hat. In Florida the school busses arrived every day to pick up the kids in my and every other neighborhood in the state.
Florida is like Heaven with snakes
And mosquitoes don't forget the mosquitoes some of them are as large as birds, they can literally carry off a Chihuahua so if you're a Democrat voter keep that in mind they absolutely love attacking democrats for some reason It's if they just know something's wrong with them they like feasting on their blood. Because they're mostly weak and easy prey ,t's simply horrifying hundreds of hundreds of mosquitoes the size of mockingbirds. If you want to come here and back The greatest governor in the country . we welcome you And if not you get fed to the gators, whatever the skeeters leave behind
Yea and the old drivers blowing through stop lights. It’s awful here. Don’t come.
Sinkholes! Don’t forget the sinkholes!
Stay. Go to CA where it’s safe
Don’t forget the hurricanes!
I live in a small town in Ontario, Canada and we have sinkholes, massive mosquitoes, and we just had a tornado. I think I've completed my Florida training, now If I could just get into the US!
That’s funny. True but funny. The black racers are huge.
I wish you could see my face. Ewww!
Lol freaked me out at first. My neighbor has one that suns himself on her welcome mat. She calls him Redford because he is handsome
Love my racers, our ecosystem friends! They are non-venomous, and munch on all the rodents with which we prefer not sharing our home and yard. Bring on the snakes!
Schneile, my neighbors think I'm crazy for being excited to have rat snakes and racers pop up in our pastures.
I think they are crazy for killing off harmless rodent control! Told them me or my 7 year old can run over and catch the garter snakes they keep killing, if they want them gone. 😂
Small price to pay for freedom.
And massive bugs. I got a condo and found out I had ten visitors the first month. They stayed until they died.
One wag named Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitemer Indiana's Businessperson of the Year. So many Michiganders were coming to Indiana for haircuts and shopping because of her policies. Thanks, Gretchen!

We called her witless. Another governor who flies to FL. While the commoners can’t leave home
As a Floridian, it was surreal to read all of the horror stories regarding covid hysteria from other states. It felt like I was reading about far-away, 3rd-world countries, simply couldn't (and still can't) believe these stories came from within the USA. Extremely thankful to be a Floridian and under the governance of Desantis... And to think that Andrew Gillum damn near won - a terrifying thought...
When I was house hunting in Florida in February of 2020 I was told that the local police in my hometown in Michigan were handing out $250 tickets to people who were walking out of Home Depot with “non essential” items like paint.
Those stories are heartbreaking, and puts my own Covid woes into perspective. I think I will give my hubby a big kiss when he gets home. ❤️ Thank God we are on the same page about this political BS.
I am forced into retirement by a vax mandate. It has spoiled one important relationship but fortunately those in my family who disagree are not the ostracizing types. Even though I have studied this every day for over a year - all the aspects of this including the science and the WEF agenda are that involved - I still am dumbstruck at the mass formation (read “The Psychology of Totalitarianism”, which explains it well) and blithering ignorance I see repeatedly. I guess the rush to call Anne Frank someone with white privilege, as was done on Twitter recently, and the ensuing absurdity of the analysis, shows this Branch Covidians crap as a symptom of a rapidly disintegrated society-exactly what the globalists want.
Ernie - once you see it (the manipulation, political hijacking, media manipulation) you can never un-see it. It is a new frontier. How cleverly they divided us, and still continue to divide.
I was seeing some of my former workmates online and one said he wished I would come around (not said nastily). I said “I can’t unsee what I’ve seen”. How true that is, mercifully.
Sorry for him, but proud for you.
I know. Fortunately for me the HR enforcers accepted my lengthy religious exemption, while firing many others for not getting jabbed. Now I walk around work (mandatorily) masked, looking at all the people unmasked - knowing they all think I am an idiot, but I look at them, (my head held high), with pity and at our dear "leaders" with disgust- I just can't get over the fact of what they did to their employees that they always say they care so much for (and their customers that they also mandated be vaxed). Makes me sick. (Yes I am looking for another job-for a company that did not do that to their employees)
These stories come from America where the restrictions were LESS than most other places.
Imagine if we could get some of the stories from the Chinese people in Shanghai who were locked in their homes and saw their dogs and cats beaten to death in the streets.
I'd like to hear from Australians who were forced into "quarantine camps" or Canadians who had their bank accounts frozen because they didn't believe the "right" things.
But the greatest damage had to be inflicted on those who are too young to tell their stories. The children who missed the critical window in which their brains learn to read faces. The children who didn't learn to pronounce words because they couldn't see other human mouths working. The damage the Covid crazies did to the world is impossible to overstate.
So true, KLG. There is a very ugly side to this, and the generational damage will be horrific. I can't get the image of those Shanghai cats and dogs out of my mind. How low have we as people have fallen? Not that those lives were more important than the humans locked into their apartments, but the entire situation was very shocking.
I obviously also cannot forget those pets who suffered such a horrific fate. I consider my pets to be family members. I'm going to leave it at that so that I don't sound like a complete crazy person - even though when it comes to my pets, I am a little crazed with how wonderful I think they are.
The people who think the shots work don’t understand why their unvaxxed relatives are “trying to kill them.” It’s a pretty hard thing to get past.
They forget…the jab is to protect THEM, not everyone else. And if it was a TRUE vaccine, they would have immunity. This is insanity.
I don't know who said it but it is worth repeating, it's the only vaccine that I have to get to make yours work.
Yep, especially when our betters leave uncorrected the carefully crafted implication that, if only everyone had taken the vaccine, there would be no variants infecting the vaccinated.
These stories tell me my family was very fortunate. Neither the wife or I, the three sons and their wives/fiancees or our grandchildren were vaccinated. Neighbors on both sides refused the vax except for one who did it so he could see his grandchildren who lived California (naturally-so many fruits and nuts there). My wife was one of the first to catch on to the farce. Although we circulated in public at will often without masks when we could, none of us caught Covid. There was no turmoil. We stood up for each other and told others we would not take an experimental drug that altered our immune system. One son quit a defense contractor requiring vaxes. Now I see the vaxed rapidly losing their memory, others experiencing unusual symptoms and dropping out of social activity, some experiencing debilitating stenosis and many catching Covid. And the number of "mysterious and unexplained" early deaths reported in the news. It is very sad to to see the physical and emotional pain others have experienced mainly because some family member adamantly believed the medical authorities and refused to do the research and think for themselves. People making emotional decisions with out of control egos that never admit they are wrong leads to disastrous results affecting many besides themselves. We are very fortunate indeed!
I fear that we all have a story. Every single person has had a relationship end over this madness. My family has shunned myself and my children because we are unvaxxed. My husband was mandated and I still cry with worry over it. It’s beyond disgusting what has been done. And it was on purpose. To all the other commentators who have already stated “you cannot unsee what you’ve already seen” is on target. Most of us know exactly where this is heading. It makes me crazy that others don’t see it. Ignorance truly is bliss.
Every. Single. Person. I personally lost several close friends (we met in a support group for moms who’ve lost babies, a bond I thought couldn’t be destroyed but was ).
I'm so sorry!
You are so right Katie - we have all been affected by this complete craziness. We lost a daughter to the madness. She refuses to be around us because we did not take injections. Thank GOD our daughter with grandkids did not buy in to the nonsense. Also the family members who are non injectors are now our very best friends and we support each other every single day. We must stand firm against the totalitarianism.
