I could not imagine living beneath these California threats of booster mandates, then, at the last minute, the state backs down. This is torture. This is unforgivable.

It is also on purpose.

The shifting narrative is a part of the demoralization phase. Take the latest John Hopkins study on the lockdowns as an example: Now all of the people who bought into them and believed they were good, right, and true - well - John Hopkins just set that dream on fire with their latest study that they were quite detrimental. This kind of thing wreaks havoc on people.

To everyone reading this, please do yourself a favor and take the time to read the following and watch all of the videos. An enormous amount of work has gone into it, and by the time you are finished you will understand exactly what is occurring and why:

The irony was not lost on me that it was the Johns Hopkins site that had the pandemic wargame outlines like Event 201 and Dark Winter which called for the lockdowns in the first place. Nobody reports that little piece of pie.

You got it!

John Hopkins is in the back pocket of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, they - and that deliberately perpetually wrong rat Ferguson - were instrumental in getting this COVID fraud off the ground.

Now Hopkins is doing a deliberately timed 180 to further the division and discord. All of this was outlined by John Hopkins in their SPARS 2025-2028 publication from a few years ago:

centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/publications/the-spars-pandemic-2025-2028-a-futuristic-scenario-to-facilitate-medical-countermeasure-communication

It reads like an instructional manual to what’s going on now, and includes a section on how to spin everything once the jig is up.

Her contribution letter for this year was not committed and non specific which was unusual but there was no statement ruling it out either.

Dr. Marty Makary did admit, live on the tele last night, that he was wrong at first agreeing with the lockdowns. He did, however, start pushing against them pretty early on once he saw the figures. I noticed him changing his mind.

Expand full comment

he talked about report showing lockdowns didn't work, but I didn't see him mention anything about the lockdowns being their recommendations in the first place, or the fact that lockdowns were part of several predefined plans.

It's almost like they were testing how well their plans worked. I'll be interested to see the next plan.

Expand full comment

We may have been watching different programs. He straight up said he'd been wrong at first.

Expand full comment

Right I think it was the same one. I remember him saying he was wrong and I respect that. But he is just one guy. I think he overlooked the point that they had been wargaming pandemics for years and the lockdown was out of their playbook. That and control of the media messaging.

Of course vax demand is down.....a lot of light bulbs have kicked on after seeing loved ones killed or injured. Too hard to ignore at this point! The damage is spreading too fast to conceal with Bull Shit talking points!!

Although it's probably semantics but I don't think it's a question of demand being down. Rather, it's that they have maxxed out on the number of people who are willing to get them.

I have always believed the last 20-25% would not give in No matter what; It's about same ratio as the colonists that fought for independence from England.

I do live in California and got a religious exemption. I work in a hospital. It really means to me that I’m meant to stay here for now, because if I would’ve been denied the exemption, we’d have sold the farm and moved to a red state.

I read a few months ago that this was never really an issue as the people who enjoyed the virtue signaling of leftist policies didn't want to go to evil red states anyway. The issue over the past few decades has been that Hispanics vote Democrat and their population is the one increasing the most. Immigration controls are very important regardless but it's looking increasingly likely that Hispanic voters will be more of a 50:50 bet going forward.

It's not good enough though.

After the mid-terms, Democrats need to be treated the way Democrats have treated the unvaccinated. Lose their jobs, get locked in their houses, lose right to protest. And it should be extended to climate change dickheads too. Take their grid electricity away from them and let them survive purely on solar panels and burning dung.

If that still isn't punishment enough (and it will never be), get the most dangerous illegal aliens that have crossed the border (sex traffickers preferably) and give them all keys to houses of Democrat voters - they want to welcome such people, they can have them.

I am so sorry that your lives have been turned upside down by this tyranny and persecution. I look forward to the time when there is a reckoning. Now you have an insight into how the early Christians might have felt during the persecution by Nero and Diocletian. You have truly fought the good fight.

Yeah I’m getting real tired of fighting the mask wars here in loony CA. My son is still forced to wear one inside at school all day long. I know which stores will let me slide but shoppers hassle me, bless their misinformed deceived hearts. Looks as though Newsollini will require spike spikes into all students by the start of next school year. I’ll soon be heading red and watching my formerly beloved native state grow small and then forever disappear from the rear view mirror.

Newsollini!!!!

Expand full comment

You'll not regret the move! Here in NC, in spite of a blue governor, most all of the towns dropped mask mandates months ago --except Raleigh, Chapel Hill (the hometown of the virus, by the way), maybe parts of Charlotte -- It was funny going to the supermarkets and watching the virtue-signalling mask diehards and their cousins, the ignorant, slowly, day by day, dwindle in number until now...where they are very rare, if you see one at all. The masked now stand out like freaks.

My brother and his family live in Durham and summer 2021 I saw full-on adults and kiddos playing, running around a neighborhood playground with masks on. Reminded me of California! Rest of NC I saw that summer (High Point and the beloved Outer Banks) were totally fine. My two kids and I felt like we were on another planet getting to go into stores with naked faces. It was amazing. Can't wait to experience that again summer 2022 when we visit the free state of NC!

Expand full comment

Story Time in NC: Early on in 2020, my grocery store had "Masks Required" signage and I'd waltz right in bare nekkid-faced. The nice lady sitting inside with the box of masks asked me if I'd like one; to which I sweetly replied "no thank you" and went about my shopping. I ignored the directional signs but observed the Distancing rite. By summer the lady was gone but the signs were still up and then dropped by Thanksgiving.

About a month ago I was walking down an aisle and an oncoming shopper (an older gentlemen, maybe 70, probably a farmer) said something in an odd tone as we passed so I turned around and said What?? He goes "Where's your mask? Have you gotten your shot?" With a decidedly displeased look on my face, I went up to him saying "Look, I'm not telling YOU or anybody else if I had a shot or not, it's nobody's business!" He said he was just repeating what others had said to him & we just looked at each other like Ohhh, you're one of US. We had a short exchange wherein he said he hadn't gotten it & wasn't gonna get it since he'd already been sick. We laughed and marveled at how they actually DO think we're stupid.

I admit it - I also saw a young mother with her pre-schooler wearing masks and I gave her a dirty look. My behavior hasn't changed except now we know exactly who the tribe followers are.

This whole thing is so grotesque in every way. Yes, NC has a blue gov (somehow) but a very red Lt. Gov and Legislature. I cannot imagine CA or WA.

No offense but this just reminded me of something. I am really tired of the phrase “religious exemption”. Who dares to determine what MY exemptions are. I do. Why would the state or my employer or some other body make a decision about it? Isn’t that my choice?

That is all. Final question- am I a crabby old man already? 👴🏻 😈

Expand full comment

If I’m understanding correctly, I share your sentiment. I’m tired of the phrase too. Apparently my religion doesn’t have a problem using aborted fetuses to develop a vaccine but I DO have a problem with it, so why does it have to be a religious exemption? What if you don’t have a set religion? It’s all crazy and I too get crabby about the topic so you are not alone!

Expand full comment

Agree--Peggy Hall has some great videos on this. "Who is qualified, on your staff, to judge the sincerity of my sincerely held religious beliefs?" But this is why people want to move (I'm in CA too). If I'm gonna have to jump through all these hoops (and believe me, I did, but am leaving the job anyway because their "accommodations" are also invasive (mask, test)), I may as well jump through a slightly more involved hoop and get WAY more freedom.

We saw the crazy coming years ago. Our favorite trek for years was to attend”Barely Strictly Bluegrass” a wonderful weekend of free music in Golden State Park. That event was always very respectful. Getting to the park by train, bart or walking through any part of the city is sketchy. Our last year there was 2015.

Everyone agrees on two things about Cali. One, it was once a great place to live. Two, it is steadily getting worse. Whether it is still good, or now terrible, depends on one's politics, personal wealth and other views. Certainly for the non-rich, it is now a pretty crappy place to be.

I think of all the people who didn't want the vaccine but succumbed to extreme pressure, only to have the mandate that pushed them into getting vaccinated removed at the last minute. This whole thing has turned into a dystopian nightmare.

My hope is that people in California will wake up and the spell will be broken. I am a very old-fashioned and non-conformist type and feel so out of place in this city. I love the land and the weather and my husband's job is here. The state is coming for our children. They go to a Catholic K-8 school. If the Diocese of San Jose pushes covid shots for them for 2022-2023, I need to homeschool or finally pull the rip cord and move. I want to stay and fight for sanity and common sense in this place, but it bruises my soul having to put on a mask to enter any place and know that I cannot attend events I used to love since I am jabless.

Expand full comment

NYC, California, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, (insert woke city here)... I have my doubts as to whether these places will recover. The governments are a reflection of the majority of souls living there and I don't think trading your mental health and freedom for weather is probably worth it in the long run. How many years are you willing to battle this? Life is totally normal in rural areas and red states. Not judging, just asking the question.

Expand full comment

Not feeling judged :-) but I probably should be judged for how I succumbed to the initial panic and like Bari Weiss lysoled all our groceries (probably giving me and the family cancer later on) after friends and family sent around some Michigan doctor YouTube video about how to properly wash down all the things you eat after you bravely go out into the unknown for your weekly rations. I was so terrified in March 2020 and gradually woke up and now am pissed. I had listened to Governor Ken Doll on his daily radio address at noon while feeding the family in our tiny kitchen wanting to be good citizens and flatten the curve for humanity. I'm so mad that I got swept up in the fear. I feel manipulated. I have resisted and refused the jab out here, which is no small feat, mind you. This evil mindset that has confused and corroded us has driven families into such disharmony. It's not even about health--it's whether you followed the rules and are in the tribe with other family and friends.

My husband is not ready to leave California. We have set down roots during the past 20 years, but neither one of us has any family here. They are all out of state. I hope he will wake up about the covid policy deception and want to live in a free state. That is my hope, that is my prayer. I would be ready at a moment's notice to hit the road and not look back.

Expand full comment

Don’t beat yourself up! I was the same way in March 2020. Wiped down the groceries and made my husband change his clothes after work. I couldn’t keep living like that so I started searching for answers, which lead me to where I am now. There are people still stuck in the March 2020 mindset. I’m thankful that’s not us.

It took me months of pressure to get my husband to understand we only had a small windows to get out and actually get our money back from buying here. Our realtor told us once elections come prices will drop again. That convinced my husband time to go now. We sold before it hit the market. Gonna save 13% in taxes! I’ll be able to be mask free when I work out!, holy shit. I can’t wait. No vaccines for me!! My immune system is working great. Daughter has covid now. Fully vaxxed. Ummm her sister got the booster so makes me wonder as they live together. I ate off her plate on sat and Monday she was full blown covid. I’m good. Does it really spread when you are asymptomatic???? Hmmmm. Anyways! Goodbye California. Wanted to live here my whole life and now I can’t wait to get away from the covid freaks!

California is going to play this game all year long and with people's kids. They are going to pass a law mandating C19 vaccines for 5+ with no personal belief exemption. The govt-media complex will rattle their sabers about how everyone need to shoot up their kid or be turned away at the school door.

Based on the current trends though I doubt even 50% of 5+ kids will be vaxxed by September. So they will pull this same trick over and over, announcing delays of 1 more month to get the stragglers.

Yes, CA is going all in with the child vax. But they're going to have a big problem, because this time too many parents are wide awake. See my article here:
