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

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.

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.

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.

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? 👴🏻 😈

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My demand for vaccines of ANY kind is now zero. Same for drugs, doctors, nurses, techs, vitamins & supplements unless I'll die without them. How do we trust them if we don't know which ones can be trusted & can't choose them anyway? Hospitals are killing for profit & politics, denying cheap lifesaving therapeutics. A Phoenix hospital murdered my friend's dad. Denied ivermectin. They've sued.

I won't go to a hospital or get injected unless I'll die if I don't. How do we know what's in it? I had an anaphylactic reaction to a scan contrast push last year & I suspect they slipped in covid vax. Stopped halfway through & mumbled they "didn't think" it was anaphylactic, "just a reaction that happens sometimes." Uh huh. I've had contrast several times before, no problemo. If they did, at least I only got a half-dose. My lungs have since been a bit off, gradually improving with light exercise. I still sometimes get the same simultaneous urge to sneeze & puke I never had before.

Those who NEED injections should say YES to the vax status question. That's right, LIE.

No more vitamins-supplements. Nearly all have ChiCom content &/or processing. I'll get them from food & sun. "U.S." firms that say you can trust "quality control" & "safety" in a mass-murdering communist slave state are lying. China inflicted designer covid on us.

I was on the Berkeley, CA school board meeting last night. They are in the process of implementing a staff vaccine mandate. There has been a test out option, but they are looking to do away with that by next year. The proposal was to mandate just the first two shots and no boosters. Two of the board members evidently had not gotten the memo that if they mandated the booster they would lose half the teachers. A very squirmy discussion ensued where it was quite obvious they could not state in open session why, exactly, they could not mandate the booster. The entire Berkeley community, which is one of the most vaccinated and aggressively hostile to the non-vaccinated, is only 55% boosted. I have to believe that, as this post concludes, that number has plateaued. They can't mandate the booster shot, but with or without the booster shot the vaccinated are likely in worse shape than had they done nothing. It makes for fascinating viewing.

Even better viewing is the discussion that was taking place about "disaggregating" vaccine data by race! Conveniently, they did not have student vax status by race at their fingertips. I can tell you though it is something like 99% white kids vaxed and maybe 50-60% African American and Multi-ethnic kids vaxed. The discussion to send all the unvaxed kids into Independent Study next year when the student mandate kicks in by the Nazis in the state capital, all with everyone of those hypocritical tools flying their black history month flags, was not lost on me.

My wife did have her religious exemption for the booster shot approved. She is an RN at a major hospital system here.

I can't take it here anymore. We are winding our lives down in California and expect to be gone by the Fall. With nothing left to lose, I haven't missed a school board meeting to tell them exactly how I feel. F it!

Expand full comment

Great post, I teach in Berkeley part time. You are right to bring up the racial angle. That is how we know it is all a big bluff. Come the fall half the black students in any given district will probably not be in compliance and there will be a huge racial disparity in who is getting turned away at the door. They will never be seen doing that so they will try to keep bluffing everyone into compliance. I would actually stay if my son really insisted on it because I am so convinced it's a bluff, but fortunately we are all happy to go live somewhere where we just don't have to think about this crap anymore.

Interesting take. I have been trolling Buffy and the rest of the nazis in the legislature reminding them of that often. Maybe it is a bluff.

Don't know when this fear & hypnosis will subside. The reduction of Boosters may be an early indicator. I find this "Cancer talk", concerning. Could it be a harbinger of future health of individuals who accepted the jab???? All the decisions these boards are making

are with a static view, this is moving and fluid. Peoples health is fluid. The "Controls" (those that chose not to take the Vaxx), will we heard louder as time goes on. Best to be ProActive.

The shots are dangerous and don't even match the current variant. Our country may be too stupid to survive.

Dr Ryan Cole is doing a lot to research the link between the jabs and high cancer rates

Really good interview (about 1hr) with Dr. Cole and Jan Jekielek at the Epoch Times site. It's worth subscribing just for Jan's interviews of people like Dr. Malone and Dr. Cole.

East Tennessee is lovely and the schools could use someone like you. Gov Lee is going to work with Hillsdale College to create a number of charter schools in the state. In the more rural areas, kids have not wore masks since fall 2020. I’m a native Californian. I could see California moving towards a two-class system 25 years ago.

I should also add that Hillsdale is a private “Constitutional “ college that accepts no government funding. They require every student complete a semester course on the principles and meaning of the Constitution. Required reading includes the Federalist Papers, the Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates and A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States.

That sounds great. The charter system around Salt Lake City seems really impressive. If one is oversubscribed it is resolved by lottery, which avoids any cronyism or political battles, at the same time there are so many of them that everyone seems satisfied they got into one they liked. So different than NYC where if a kid doesn't win a lottery, they basically have to leave town.

The director of the Ichilov hospital in Israel just reported that 80% of all the serious ill COVID patients have been fully vaccinated and that vaccinations do nothing to prevent serious illness. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/321674

If the doctors and nurses had stood up (the way the truck drivers are standing up) this would’ve been over a long time ago. So please to all those doctors and nurses who know the truth, now is the time to do something about it. We must Unite as a global entity!

Never underestimate the willingness of the far left to embrace and continue to support bad policy.

How great is the irony of antifa beating people for not wearing masks and attending protests in favor of forced shots?

By now every human on Earth has, at minimum, a close or one-person-removed relationship with someone who suffered a vaccine injury. A healthy, fit 32 year old male friend of mine had a stroke after Pfizer Jab No. 1 in February in Budapest. Those stories are everywhere, this is real life. Now everyone and their Uncle just got the Optimus Prime and here we are. Nothing like real-world experience to scare people away from the poison. Remember when Cola was recommended to children in those ads from the 1950's? Lucky Strikes are good for you? This is far worse.

It will be like asbestos - but way worse. Pfizer may survive as a shell of it's former self once the legal fights are over. The others are toast.

I think this is the correct long view. Till then we have to hunker down and sit tight.

Here in Canada and I suspect in most other countries every single year TONS of flu vaccines are dumped. Pharma criminal organizations demand govt's (especially those that have federal systems like ours Englands etc.) buy a HUGE amount beyond the population of the country. Its a perfect kick back--then Pharma funds the govt in powers next election. A pure case of "you scratch my back I will scratch yours". This is a VERY old model.

Making 5-year olds get the jab when there is almost zero risk for them is pure child abuse. It's what the Italians would call an "infamia." If any child dies from one of these vaccines, the people who performed, arranged, ordered or required the vaccine are morally and ethically responsible for that child's death.

Doctors in the Bay Area tell me it’s your social contract duty to vax your child even if he she dies / it’s your duty to protect society. Those people shouldn’t hold medical licenses.

Even if he/she dies?! I. Am. Furious!! They obviously do not know what it is like to have your child die before you. I am so mad I could spit nails! May they rot in hell for saying those words and believing them!!

First do no harm? A powerful sentence…I wonder what industry embraces this belief. Politics? Yeah…that’s it!

When people were tsking their first dose everyone was mocking me for saying no thanks. I don't mind banter but I could tell many people were almost mad "Coco thinks there's tracking devices in the shots"

"I really don't. I just don't think I need it and i want a lot more data before I accept it"

Now I would say half of them are saying no to the booster.

And yes, I have been asking all of them "What's the matter? Do you think there is tracking devices in the shots or something?"

Lol

The crazy thing is that most of the people who took the shots early thought that they were vaccines just like the shots they got in childhood. By calling them vaccines, people didn't even bother to ask questions about how they work.

Now I am asking questions not just about these jabs but about all of "modern medicine". If they can lie about the Covid shots, what else have they been lying about?
