Once upon a time…

“Yes, you see, Grandma didn’t like vaccines. I didn’t want to vaccinate my children, but a few years after covid-19 we lost the right to choose things like that.

“Grandma, did people really not wear masks when you were a kid?”

“No, they didn’t. People didn’t start wearing masks until I was 33, in 2020. Reuben, your daddy, was 4 when it all started.”

Bobby wrinkles his nose at me and picks up his mask by the door.

“You mean you didn’t wear a mask at ALL?!” He says, swinging his around on his finger.

“No, not ever.” I say.

“But how did you stay safe?” Bobby says, setting his mask down.

“Oh, we got sick a lot. Your daddy had the flu when he was 3. It was scary, but he pulled through. He’s had his share of colds as a child.”

“That’s scary. It’s bad to get sick.”

I stop, and think. Is it time? Yes, it must be time. Bobby will be eight soon, and there are things he needs to know. Things it might not be safe for his father or his mother to talk about, things that are safer shared from an older mouth.

I snuggle him up on the couch and try to think of where to begin.

“Now Bobby. I’m going to tell you some things. I want to you to hold these things inside of you and don’t talk about them to anyone else, you hear? Some of these ideas can be misunderstood if the wrong person hears them.”

I think he understands. I hope he understands.

“Back in 2020 there was a virus. You probably learned about it in school.”

“Covid 19.” Bobby says. He isn’t smiling. “I did.”

“Yes, Covid 19. That was when everything changed.”

“Is that why you had to go to jail, Grandma?”

Now my heart sinks. He’s getting ahead of me.

“No, not really.” I say.

“Daddy says you had to go to jail when he was little and he missed you a lot.”

I feel tears prick the edges of my vision, but I blink them away.

“Yes, you see, Grandma didn’t like vaccines. I didn’t want to vaccinate my children, but a few years after covid-19 we lost the right to choose things like that. But Grandma didn’t give up. I fought for the right to keep Reuben and Rebekah free from vaccines, so I went to jail for awhile. It was hard for your daddy, he missed me a lot.”

Bobby holds my hand, and I remember another little boy, so many years ago who also sat on this couch and held my hand. And I remember his tears as the police took me away from him. I don’t want to remember this.

“But vaccines are good for you, Grandma. They keep you safe. We learned about them in school.”

I sigh.

“That’s what they say.” I say. “Yet, back when I was a kid, sometime people died after they were vaccinated. Sometimes people were damaged by the vaccines. And we still don’t know what is in them. No one will tell us.”

I turn to look into Bobby’s eyes. “People still are damaged by vaccines now. Just no one talks about it.”

Bobby scrunches his eyes up. He’s trying so hard to wrap his mind around my words.

“The world was a very different place when I grew up.” I say. “We had coins, like the ones in my collection. We spent those coins as money, instead of using the chips we have today. No one wore masks and you didn’t have to get vaccinated if you didn’t want too. Parents could teach their kids at home if they wanted, and school wasn’t year round. You could think what you wanted, no one was arrested for speaking their mind. People met in churches to sing to God.”

Bobby still looks confused. I wonder if he can even picture a world like I am describing. I wonder if he can even understand.

“Kids played together in the streets. We had birthday parties where people would come to your house and hang out. I could hug my friends whenever I wanted.” Now I am getting a bit choked up. It must be my age. I’ll be 76 this January.

I swallow.

“Now, Bobby dear, don’t go repeating anything I’ve told you. Keep it hidden in your heart, like the verses we learn over breakfast.”

“Like the bible under the planks in the shed?” He asks. I nod, yes, like the bible hidden in the shed.

Bobby slips from my side. I let him go, hearing the legos tinkle from the other room. The legos his dad collected as a kid.

I sit for awhile, thinking back. Times sure have changed. I don’t think they have changed for the better, no matter what the government says. I wonder what other things will change, before my bones go into the Earth. Soon the memories of that other world, that world of freedom and breath… will be buried in my tomb with me. And only the young will remember.

If they can.

It’s only a mask child, it’s only a mask.

It’s only for a month child, it’s only for a month.

It’s only six feet distancing child, it’s only 6 feet.

It’s only a vaccine child, it’s only a vaccine.

It’s for your safety child, it’s for your safety.

It’s for your own good child, it’s for your own good.

Get into the boxcar to go to a safe place child, get into the boxcar.

Hate speech

Speaking your mind on any issue cannot be labeled “hate speech” as it is your opinion or view that you are entitled to. Acting on some words is a different issue all together.

It is the SJW way of eliminating “Free Speech” by labeling speech as “Hate Speech”. To me, there is no such thing as “Hate Speech”. There are speech/words some people want to hear and agree with. And there are speech/words that some people do not want to hear and do not agree with.

Agree or disagree, folks are free to say whatever they like. There may be consequences of saying some word in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that does not make it “hate speech”. Yelling “FIRE” in a crowded theater comes to mind. Anyone is free to yell that out but sure enough, there will be a price to pay for doing so. Granted, there is a fine line there on what would be considered in that general. Telling someone you are going to open a can of Whoopass on them may have consequences also.

Speaking your mind on any issue cannot be labeled “hate speech” as it is your opinion or view that you are entitled to. Acting on some words is a different issue all together.

Take all the folks that are paying the price for putting words in the public domain. Those were their opinion that they were entitled to at that time. They were free to say them. They are now paying the consequence for saying them. Should their employer fire them for having said them? No. In a right and just America of the past it would be illegal to fire anyone for saying something in the past.

This SJW technique is only effective if the majority let it be effective and right. If someone ever tells me what I have said is “Hate Speech” I would just laugh at them. I would most likely throw it right back at them and call their not liking my speech “Hate Speech” towards me!

Think back not that long ago when the SJW/gender confused folks wanted everyone to use their “preferred gender pronoun.” How did that work out for them? Society dictates what words are acceptable and adopted, not someone’s opinion of them. Those gender pronouns died out pretty fast because society did not adopt them. You cannot force a society/people to use a certain speech, they have to willingly accept it. This whole “Hate speech” thing is exactly the same. SJW’s are trying to FORCE society to adopt certain words as unacceptable. It is only going to work if the majority let it.

Tyranny

The recent shut down of our society by state and local government with little or no input from those being governed falls under the classic definition of tyranny.

Tyranny is an autocratic form of rule in which one individual exercised power without any legal restraint. The word tyranny is usually pejorative and connotes the illegitimate possession or use of such power.

The recent shut down of our society by state and local government with little or no input from those being governed falls under the classic definition of tyranny.

The most-significant change in the conception of tyranny from the ancient world to the modern lies in the role of the people under a tyrant.

In ancient times tyrants tended to be popular, because the people saw them as upholding their interests. Tyrants often introduced measures to improve the economic and social status of the poor; it was the aristocracy (who wrote the histories) who tended to oppose tyranny, because, in bypassing the constitution, tyranny threatened their traditional privileges.

But as absolute rule became established in the Roman Empire, the terms of debate shifted, focusing on the question of when monarchic power became tyrannical in nature.

From that springs the idea of tyranny in its modern sense: a situation in which the power of the ruler outweighs that of the ruled. That definition allows even a representative government to be labeled a tyranny.

A Bob Dylan protest song from 1965 has lyrics that could have just as easily been written today.

“A question in your nerves is lit

Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy

Insure you not to quit

To keep it in your mind and not forget

That it is not he or she or them or it

That you belong to

Although the masters make the rules

For the wise men and the fools

I got nothing, Ma, to live up to

For them that must obey authority

That they do not respect in any degree

Who despise their jobs, their destinies

Speak jealously of them that are free

Do what they do just to be nothing more than something they invest in.

As a man thinketh…

That we have had so much contradicting dialogue and that there has been so much censorship, we are left either holding onto what we think is true, or losing all faith in all sources of information and acknowledging we CAN’T know what’s true unless and until we dig into the data ourselves. The latter is a huge undertaking virtually no one is capable of doing.

Your thoughts affect your immune system. It can work the opposite way as well —-changes in the immune system create changes in your nervous system which lead to changes in your emotions. Quiet simply put stress and unhealthy eating habits can influence how you think and feel. Simply put – your mental state affects your immunity. Research today is beginning to unravel the complex connection between your psychological state and your immune system.

The immune system is comprised of organs, tissues, cells and cell products that all work together to fight harmful substances like the pathogens that cause infection and disease.

If our lives are greatly influenced by the hormones of stress, then the natural function of the immune system is suppressed, which leaves us more prone to illness or disease.

When stress is prolonged or unrelenting, it becomes known as chronic stress. Chronic or bad stress can be detrimental to mental and physical health.

Constant worrying about things like family or problems are examples of chronic stress. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is another form of chronic stress.

The immune system is a collection of billions of cells that travel through the bloodstream. They move in and out of tissues and organs, defending the body against foreign bodies (antigens) such as bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells.
The main types of immune cells are white blood cells.

Being positive and having a healthy perspective could be the difference between longevity and disease. Every thought you have produces a chemical which signals the body to feel exactly the way you are thinking. In turn your thoughts will generate feelings, and your feelings will generate thoughts.

This creates a vicious cycle — being mindful of your thoughts in the morning could be the difference in what type of day you have.

The release of stress hormones is the result of a number of complex and interacting factors such as the interaction between the stressors and our perception of the stress.

How we perceive an event plays a very significant role in whether the stressor triggers our stress response or not.

Stop and ask yourself, if the media hadn’t been constantly beating the fear drum since last December about the Corona virus, would you have even noticed it?

Month after month, week after week, day after day, hour after hour panicky headlines predicting doom.
“US surpasses world in active cases of Covid-19” , “Hospitals overwhelmed, refrigerated morgue trucks brought in”… and on and on.

Contradictory “information” from “experts” that confuses us further. “Wear a mask”, “Don’t wear a mask”, “Heat kills the virus, go out in the sun”, “Stay inside and sanitize everything” until even the most sensible persons’ head is spinning and their stress level is through the roof.

Confirmation bias is, I think, a huge player these days. People live in an echo chamber. We listen to news we trust and deem other sources of being biased. We look for confirmation of our beliefs without analyzing the actual data.

That we have had so much contradicting dialogue and that there has been so much censorship, we are left either holding onto what we think is true, or losing all faith in all sources of information and acknowledging we CAN’T know what’s true unless and until we dig into the data ourselves. The latter is a huge undertaking virtually no one is capable of doing.

So when we see news reports like “96% Of All People Tested Are Positive, Most Asymptomatic”, how many of us actually get on the phone to call the facilities that provided this information to the news source? I found an article a couple days ago where Florida was found to be in error with regard to positive C-19 test cases. Rather than 96%, the number was 9.6%. That’s a big difference!! So was the error deliberate or accidental?

Evil or stupid?

That seems to be the recurring question of our times.

In my opinion, it is intentional and evil. The question you need to ask yourself is simply, WHY?

Two sides of the coin

It’s mall about control

I’ve seen signs in stores here to either have exact change or use a credit card.

On one hand the system wants you to cash your change in. This is not a real crises it’s the plan. Because real coin, even clad is a liability for the bankers/government etc.

For when we do go cashless, clad coins will hold value better than whatever digit system they currently have or will have.

I don’t understand, if there is a coin shortage due to less circulation and production, why aren’t Federal Reserve Notes also affected?

This causes people to think about the money hidden in their penny jars, piggy banks and safes. If the country goes cashless what will become of the stowed away cash? Is it now valueless?

No one seem to know where the coins went. So how come no one knows? Banks aren’t giving them out.

As usuall it seems like a plot, a conspiracy or a trick the government is playing on the people.

My bank now has locked doors. You can get in with an appointment only.

It seems like a plot, a conspiracy or a trick the government is playing on the people.

I looked it up. There is $3,818,300,000 in coin out there. There are 320,000,000 people in the US including children.That means there is about $12 in change for every person in the country.

The average family of 3.5 – $42 in change

And people still believe they are having trouble distributing coins?

The best methodology for manipulating a situation is to take a real event and mold it to suit your desired effect. Is there some shortage of coins? Probably. Who knows how bad it really is?

I think those in control are wanting to go to a cashless society so they can track all purchases and tax,tax,tax.

It would not surprise me at some point that the government makes coins and later all bills illegal due to possible spread of Covid 19 and wants them all turned in. If you had any 90% silver coins, they would expect those to be turned in also at face value and not the “silver” value.

If this scenario holds true,paper money is the next to go. With no coin, there is no need for a mint with no paper money, there is no need for a treasury.

I think this coin shortage is a con, they don’t magically disappear,the mint is not releasing
coins, Some entities are hoarding them for their own reasons. Maybe to push cashless on us as suggested, that seems logical. Maybe hoarding because paper is about to be greatly devalued and coins historically keep their face value.

Say you’ve got a $10 bill and $10 in coins, the bill can be devalued to $1 but the coins are still $10 face value. This has happened several times with other nations. It’s kind of silly to think it can never happen here.

It seems to me if coins are disappearing, being purposely removed from circulation – SOMEONE is wanting them and wanting US to Not have them so maybe I’ll just keep mine and see what happens. who knows how they may come in handy some day.

Start to look at the big picture:

Elimination of cash transactions provides the alphabet agencies to review your history of transactions, payments, purchases and other incidentals.

Taxing authorities will now get more money. You capitalists are finally paying your “fair share”.

Government payments can and will be monitored.

Consider the number of people who have multiple social security numbers due to the mothers passing their kids to other mothers to file for more money.

Consider the fraud with welfare money.

Consider the money (in emergency cash payments currently), that low income people can get to go to the market. This can be validated.

This gives the ability to monitor spending habits (think suspected hoarders, or, if you prefer, preppers).

Child support payments.

All transactions outside government control.

Cash tips and gratuities.

Any and all under the table work for cash.

It’s all about control.

R.I.P. the Republic

The Republic is dead…act accordingly

Another “happy” email I received from a friend who does his homework.
2000 census listed U.S. population at 281,421,906.2020 estimate lists U.S. population at 331,002,651.


That corresponds to an 80 year doubling rate… which is far behind world average of 47 years.What that means is genocidal socialist countries (like the USA) have a drop in birthrate while non-socialist countries are booming – and exporting their surplus to – guess where?
Some may feel that reducing the growth in population is a “good thing.”Others may consider that if you’re not making descendants, who else will “inherit your country?”


Is it a coincidence that non-socialist countries south of the border are exporting their surplus population to our country?


Frankly, the USA is a conquered nation, marking time to the next conflagration that changes the form of government to deal with the “new kids on the block.”
It was conquered by greedy usurers and collectivist ideologues who have infiltrated and destroyed our institutions, perverted our religious sects, and turned our world upside down… for power and profit.


How do we know this? Just look at the news. What kind of government instituted to secure rights of the people acts impotent and incompetent in the face of Antifa, BLM, and masked rioters?It’s not a healthy one!


The remedy is simple – if you don’t mind someone else telling you what to do. But if you want to know the remedy, go read the law for yourself. Since few Americans will bother to do that, they will cling to their opinions, unaware of how they were shaped by the world’s greatest propaganda ministry, and meekly watch the burning of their civilization on their high tech devices.
You finally got what you deserved, and the Founders’ dream is over.

It’s not about a mask, it’s about control.

It’s absolutely terrifying to me that so many people do not question authority because they see that authority as “all-knowing.”

For all of my friends defending the mask, I won’t unfriend you, no matter how hard you try to push your views down my throat, but read this…

When you ask why I won’t wear a mask and say-“it’s just a mask.”… “It’s just a mask” can turn into “it’s just a vaccine” very quickly. And it will, you can bet your bottom dollar on that! In less than 5 months, our government has successfully divided the country into “obedient mask wearers” versus “selfish people that refuse to wear masks.”

“It’s just a mask you guys.” It’s for “the greater good!” Where have we heard this phrase before? In less than 5 months, our government has dictated what events are acceptable versus unacceptable to attend. Riots are okay, but church and family funerals are not. Standing in a graduation line is a “safety hazard,” but feel free to line up at Walmart, Lowe’s, and Home Depot.

But it’s “just a mask” and “safety precautions,” you guys. In less than 5 months, our government successfully facilitated the closing of family-owned businesses while granting authority to large corporations that they have vested interests in.

It’s “just a mask” and “safety precautions” you guys. Oh, and here’s a measly $1200 that we stole from you in the 1st place. Enjoy! In less than 5 months, our government was able to successfully sway the population into believing that a cashless society is a good thing! In the name of a government sponsored virus.

In less than 5 months, our government closed down schools, and has “restructured” school moving forward under the guise of “public safety” from a “virus.” These same schools fed children crap per the corrupt USDA food pyramid. But “health” matters when it comes to a government sponsored virus.

It’s “just a mask” and “heightened safety precautions,” you guys. In less than 5 months, our government demonstrated how easily people assimilate to “guidelines” (that have no scientific premise whatsoever” when they are fearful. And, what was up with all that toilet paper?

It’s “just a mask” and “six-foot social distancing”, you guys. Oh, and toilet paper. In less than 5 months, our government has successfully instilled fear in a majority of the population in America. But citizens are not “afraid” of the people in power who are responsible for the removal of their “freedoms.” Instead, they are fearful of their neighbors and family, human touch, and air. Government created division.

There are thousands of viruses that “could” affect the population, but these viruses do not matter because mainstream media do not say that they do. It’s absolutely terrifying to me that so many people do not question authority because they see that authority as “all-knowing.” It’s even more terrifying that these same people rely on corrupt “leaders” to be led, thus lacking all critical thinking skills/independence. Slaves to the system that keeps them oppressed. How quickly history is forgotten and repeated!

What’s most problematic to me about all of this is that the people who are wearing masks “for the greater good” will be the 1st to sign up for the shiny new vaccine that has 0 safety tests against and in art placebo. What’s more problematic to me is that this vaccine MAY be the deciding factor in life moving forward.

You thought a mask was inconvenient? Wait until you’re told that you cannot enter a store without proof of the Covid 19 vaccine. Wait until you cannot go to public events, or travel, without proof of having received this vaccine. To everyone who that doesn’t believe that this is possible-do you understand that our government has just successfully dictated to people when they were allowed to be outside, where they were allowed to go, and how their children would be educated, all in less than 5 months? And, a majority of the population followed blindly because they were told to do so. You’re kidding yourself if you believe that they’re not going to repeat this behavior with the vaccine.

If people have not protested the occurrences in America over the past 5 months, they will assuredly continue to abide by unsubstantiated “guidelines” that will include a vaccine.

IT’S NOT ABOUT A MASK, IT’S ABOUT CONTROL!

We are poor little lambs who have lost our way…

In consequence of the widespread disinformation campaign, the millions of Americans have been persuaded that their lives, labors, liberties, and freedoms were privileges granted and/or withheld by government, instead of rights secured and protected by government.

America has lost her way.

She no longer knows right from wrong. She has turned away from the way of truth and light found in the Bible and followed in the way of lust, wickedness, immorality and evil. She dances now to a different drummer.

We live in The Land of the Deceived. Man is really great on

self-deception. Self-deception is the conduct of a fool.

America is a ship of fools. And where do you think the ship is

headed? It is time to reclaim our heritage and renew ourselves and our Republic. It is time for a new American Creed;

We, the people of the United States of America, recognize that we are endowed by our Creator [1] with the birthright to absolutely own ourselves, the fruits of our labor, and exercise liberty, upon our private property and upon public ways [2]. And that we have given passive consent to those who instituted or submitted to government, on their solemn purpose to help secure our rights to life, to cure 80, privacy, and freedom [3] and not trespass upon them.

We, the people of the United States of America, have never knowingly, willingly or intentionally surrendered our inalienable rights [4] to life, liberty, and property ownership, except under the impetus of fraud, instructive fraud, misrepresentation, and withholding of material facts.

We, the people of the United States of America, demand specific performance to the compact; the constitutions of these United States. And that said constitutions, in harmony with the Declaration of Independence, delegate limited power to help secure inalienable rights of the people and forbid trespass [5] upon those rights.

In consequence of the widespread disinformation campaign, the millions of Americans have been persuaded that their lives, labors, liberties, and freedoms were privileges granted and/or withheld by government, instead of rights secured and protected by government.

And that Americans were deliberately misled to submit to false authority, contract with abominations, surrender their sovereignty, commit acts against the common good, and violate their conscience, spiritual beliefs, and/or their common sense.

We the people of the United States of America, realize that the necessary evil of government is only acceptable when it uses the awesome force of cooperation in the defense of the American people, and their common law, based upon justice, reason and common sense. And that cooperation in the attack upon the person and property of innocent people is nothing less than a version of the institution of government, and a trespass upon the people, and a treason to the United States of America.
