Many were willing to compromise their beliefs for the jobs. I'd never value a job over my life or the lives of my family! I agree - NO EXCEPTIONS. No slaps on the hand and assigning them to a nice cushy job in government, like they did with many scientists after WW2.

You're getting the victims and perpetrators mixed up.

Nobody compromised their "beliefs" for a job. They were COERCED into taking an invasive medical procedure that was not proven safe, or lose their jobs. NOTHING like what scientists did to people who were imprisoned and forced to be experimented on... the scientists were the Bad Guys. The workers were like the prisoners.

Agree. But at the same time they should also take some responsibility and learn.

Whether they were coerced or not it was a mistake.

If more would've banded together then the mandates would've been unenforceable.

There's a lesson in there. At least that's how I'd view it if I had fallen victim.

Yeah, for sure. And I do believe there's plenty of lessons for everyone, sooner or later, in this whole freakin' outrageous mess we're in. I just can't see us turning on each other, any more than I can see us letting any Evil oligarchs get away with what they're doing to Humanity...

It won't be over for a looooong time, I think. :(

This is when we really need to Stick Together. Sez I.

Do you think they can't be coerced into killing you?

They have a injected death sentence and someone offers them a cure but ... They have to kill an unvaccinated person to get it.

Hello Rwanda. How about they don't have to do the actual killing but have to go along with isolating unvaxxed in camps "for the greater good". You think they wouldn't do that in a heartbeat to get a cure?

They have already shown how easy they are to coerce.

No, I don't think that's beyond imagining.

If you want to freak out and be terrified, it's easy to do.

But I think a cure can be found without using anybody's blood.

If this terrifying stuff starts to happen, you and probably everyone else will freak out, that's a given, right? More or less. But until then, what's the point? Try to keep your shit together. Living in fear just makes everything worse, much worse. xo

Not living in fear. I've prepared as much as I can with meds & everything else. I did most prep well in advance (Aug 2020 onward). Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

The truckers' revolt was the greatest pressure relief valve I've ever seen. Before that happened I thought violence was getting close to breaking out and was making escape plans LOL. Those truckers deserve the nation's highest order and full compensation.

With the recent changes in Alberta I'm wondering are we "out of the woods" or just "eye of the hurricane"?

Good on ya, Cousin. And I agree with you...

I loved those truckers, GOOD PEEPS, the best! And the farmers in the Netherlands and elsewhere... THE BEST. That's the thing, we've got a LOT of GOOD PEEPS, and when we stand up and say "HELL, NO" and do our thing, we are doing what Humans do best. It's that stuff, not Youtube, not fucking whining about how we didn't get the expensive things, or we don't feel comfortable in our own skins... We go, we work, we get shit done, honest and the sweat of our brow. That's the human thing. We can get back on track. We won't get there imagining how horrible it MIGHT be... It might NOT be so bad. We don't know! We turn our faces into the wind and sail on, with courage.

I think we're NOT out of the woods, but these things like the truckers, a court case won, little steps... They wake more and more people, and everything matters. Every tiny ounce of rebellion and thirst for freedom... MATTERS. Our attitude, even, matters. And I think it's SUPER important to think positive about the future... because MAYBE it won't be as bad as all these people freaking out already about what isn't even happening...

Anyway, sermon for the day.

Exactly. Up in Alberta 15% of the paramedics refused and were let go only to be called back due to a collapsing paramedic system.

Imagine if 25% or even a third said "NO". It would crush the system immediately.

THE MASKS.

If people would've stood up and refused then the rest of the mandates would've never happened. Even if 15 - 20% of the public had resisted and not backed down they would've rendered the mandates unenforceable.

They were the first testing of the waters. They are a multipurpose tool that allowed officials to restrict a person's time and space in society....and so much more.

This allowed the PHA'S to foster and maintain "belief" in their nonsenseical protection. This belief turned into dogma...which allowed the subsequent machinations and manipulation to plant roots.

When they claimed that they protected others...it was over. No going back after they manipulated the "greater good" as some moral obligation

That and Dr McDonald (markmcdonaldmd.substack.com) wrote a great explanation of why masks were the ultimate propaganda tool. As big as any of the ones people think of like radio, print, TV, internet. It was a constant "fear reminder" because it was "in your face" (and on) everywhere you went. "Fear, fear, fear" for a disease with an IFR of 0.3 (CDC, May 2020)? But it worked. Boy did it work.

The funny thing is that the solution was literally in front of everyone's face; the mask come off as easily as they're put on.

But social tyranny can be more difficult for most people than shedding blood on a battlefield.

Diabolical! People were forced...or welcomed breathing their own fear.

Truly a Swiss Army Knife.
