The sheep are being lied to again!

The sheep are being lied to again. So what else is new?


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has finally recognized that the masks they’ve had everyone wearing for the better part of a year are largely ineffective because aerosols easily go around the top and sides.

Their latest recommendation is “placing a sleeve made of sheer nylon hosiery material around the neck and pulling it up over either a cloth or medical procedure mask,” or using knots and tucking to fit a mask closely to the face.


They came up with these techniques in experiments with mannequins in a lab and HAVE NOT TESTED THEM ON ACTUAL HUMANS.

They have no empirical data, and the study even warns:”The findings of these simulations should neither be generalized to the effectiveness of all medical procedure masks or cloths masks nor interpreted as being representative of the effectiveness of these masks when worn in real-world settings.”


And there’s also this warning: “Double masking might impede breathing or obstruct peripheral vision.”


As Phil Kerpen of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity pointed out in an interview with National Review: “The media loves the idea of double-masking and never mind that cases are down 58% nationally in the last month and many states have already vaccinated over 50% of seniors.”


Don’t be surprised to see President Biden exercising “leadership” by sporting the hosiery look.

Republic is toast

So the prepping community has for a long time prophesied a collapse of the economic system and the world stage becoming something akin to Mad Max.
After having some very poignant discussions with folks who deal into this, they have told me that we are there but don’t know it yet. And the political establishment is to blame.
Why?
The population and the amount of businesses that have closed has caused a lopsided supply and demand paradigm that is now collapsing as we speak.
First: businesses that did the supply to the consumer demand has taken hit after hit.
Close to the heart of preppers is ammunition.
Something not so close to preppers are non-“essential “businesses like craft stores, herb stores and the like. The shutting down of this level or retail has curbed a huge chunk of the economy, more so than they are willing to admit. This also means that Wall Street which is currently dominating the economy along with amazon has effectively cut their own feet of because the core of the money that goes to them was the very small business that they killed through their fear-mongering and political wrangling.
Secondly:Because that side of supply is now in the hands of a select group and prices WILL rise with the subsequent fall in demand because businesses are gone and people do not have jobs, the economy is starting its slow descent. The estimation of real effect will probably happen shortly as Biden and Harris will push taxation. Those taxes, minimum wage, illegal aliens and the like will put so much strain on the system it cannot hold.
Third:The push by Xio Bi Dhen and Harris of the now defamed ‘Infrastructure’ economy will put an even further strain on the populace as money that “should” in theory go to road and bridge reconstruction-rehabilitation as Pete Buteggeg has proposed will fail because the necessary supply chain of products to build and rehabilitate the system has been shuttered by the very politicos who are pushing this BS. The supply chain would need to come from outside the US and even then that’s questionable at this point. You simply do not have the infrastructure needed to amass outsourced raw material for such. The logistical aspect simply does not exist.
This is the desire of the left.
But what they fail to grasp is that their system they want to establish will not hold together at all and will fall apart as they try to build it. This will further erode power.
Stock up on butter folks, your republic is already toast.

Prayer for Saturday, February 6, 2021

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. . . .


For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”


-Matthew 24:15-16, 21-22

Enemies of the State vs. Enemies of the People
By Frank Miele February 01, 2021

I didn’t declare war on the establishment; it declared war on me.

It declared war on me when it supported energy policies that could enrich Saudi Arabia and Russia and would cost me more money at the gas pump or on my power bill.

It declared war on me when it told me my ideas weren’t worthy of debate and discussion or that they were even so dangerous they couldn’t be shared publicly.

It declared war on me when it used the police powers of the FBI and CIA to first spy on a presidential candidate and then worked to undermine the administration of that candidate after he was elected.

It declared war on me when it told me my religious beliefs did not deserve the protection of the First Amendment.

It declared war on me when it told me boys could compete against girls in high school sports and that they could shower together afterwards.

It declared war on me when it offered citizenship to illegal aliens and shipped American jobs to China.

It declared war on me when it mocked the usefulness of a wall on the Mexican border and simultaneously put up a razor-wire fence around the Capitol.

It declared war on me when it tried to defund the police so that millions of Americans would be left defenseless against mobs from antifa and Black Lives Matter.

It declared war on me when it said America was never great.

It declared war on me when it told my children they are not good enough because they are white.

It declared war on me when it said that defending the Constitution’s rules on federal elections is sedition.

It declared war on me when it told me that I was a domestic terrorist if I didn’t believe the government’s official pronouncements about elections, about free speech, and about right and wrong.

Let’s just say it plainly: The establishment declared war on me and on all conservative Americans when it decided that leftist orthodoxy was more important than the Constitution.

Don’t believe me? Fine, why should you believe a Trump supporter? You’ve been indoctrinated by the national media, Big Tech oligarchs, the Democratic Party, and academic elites to believe without questioning that people like me can’t be trusted. But you don’t have to take my word for it.

Listen instead to John Brennan, the former CIA director under President Obama, who speaks authoritatively for the Deep State:
He said on MSNBC that “the members of the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed, are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we’ve seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country and they gain strength and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians.”

This “guilt by labeling” is the antithesis of fair play or justice. It is a convenient mechanism for the ruling class to herd people into identity clusters so that individual rights can be supplanted by group responsibility. If this reminds you of China’s Cultural Revolution, you are not wrong. The ruling class wants you to conform, confirm and comply. If you step outside the lines, be prepared to be shamed, silenced and ostracized.

A shocking example was provided Wednesday when Douglass Mackey of Delray Beach, Fla., was arrested for creating memes that allegedly misled voters in 2016 to think they could vote by texting instead of by actually going to the polls. This is the equivalent of arresting Sacha Baron Cohen for exposing the gullibility of the rich and famous. The FBI offered no evidence that Mackey actually convinced anyone not to vote, but even if it did, so what? Would you rather live in a country where the FBI is hunting down pranksters — four years after the supposed transgression — or a country where voters are expected to be able to recognize a joke when they see one?

But nothing can be taken for granted any more. The people — and even their representatives and senators — are considered enemies of the state because they hold opinions that don’t meet the standards of Joe Biden or (this is even scarier!) Jake Tapper.

No wonder the people are starting to rise up and rebel against the plutocracy. It’s not “We the Oligarchs” who are the source of power in the Constitution, but “We the People,” yet the ruling establishment has forgotten that. If people like Donald Trump and Douglass Mackey are deemed to be “enemies of the state,” then those who would suppress them and their freedoms must be considered “enemies of the people.”

A house divided against itself cannot long stand, but if there is to be a truce it will not come from submission, but from a recognition that all people are created equal, that they all have certain inalienable rights, and that among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those words were worth fighting for once. Are they worth fighting for today?

I don’t know, but I do know this: If Americans can’t have liberty, we can’t have America either — at least not one that is distinguishable from China. The time has come to make a choice.
