World War III

Albert Einstien famously is quoted as saying: “I am not sure with which weapons the third world war will be fought, but in the fourth world war they will fight with sticks and stones.”

Growing up during times of the “Iron Curtain”, and the Cold War between the West and the Soviet Union, this writer was convinced that World War III would be fought with nuclear weapons. That may still come true given the saber rattling between the Russian and Ukraine governments, with the US, UK and others thrown into the mix; and let’s not forget China eyeing Taiwan with greedy intent.

However, in January 2020, as fate would have it, a virus was leaked; accidently, or deliberately, we can only surmise, but now it is certain it was deliberate. Another thing in play was this whole “Deep State” in the US Government, and other governments, including the UK, Australia, Germany, and many other Western allied countries. The fact that such a “Deep State” exists can no longer be denied. The Senior Executive Service with in the US Government consists of men and women who’ve moved up the Civil Service Ranks and become immovable objects to which ever Presidential Administration might hold office.

These people are stuck there, and unless or until they die, retire or are physically removed, they are the inner working impetus to internal government agencies’ inner workings. THEY are the motor and energy on which Agencies, like the FBI, CIA, HHS and other function and run. These people, and their political aspirations shape and mold the very people inside those companies.

If you want to keep your job as a low level person, you follow internal policy. If you want to be removed, ignore it at your own peril.

Today we have seen the grinding grit between Presidental Mandates and the US District courts stopping mask mandates and now even the mandates to vaccinate employees.

We are at a cross roads. Now, allow me to connect World War IV, III and Citizens and SES all at once.

The internal ogranization of breaucrats is largely Communist run.

The American Population is largely NON-Communist and believes strongly in America.

Judges follow the LAW, and must or the system has failed.

Covid was released to usher in a new way to reduce the world population.

The Cross Road is simple. THIS is World War III and YOU are fighting it now. Every, single individual that took one of those shots is at risk now. The lies of the media, social media and the Communists like Fauci, Harris, and the head of the various organizations pushing vaccines, for NO REASON NOW, have shown us the underlying reasoning for this. Kill the old, force a reduction of population by having a “vaccine” attack the body’s of people, cause miscarriage and death in many. Reducing the world population by a large number has ALWAYS been the Left’s goal. Now, they are succeeding in doing this. Do you think you know the truth? There is no “truth”. There are only facts, and they are being hidden from you.

The “Truth” is something a lot of people think they know. Many people think their truth is what they believe. Sometimes they have a good reason for believing it, sometimes, they don’t. Today, the vast majority of people who have fallen prey to Main Stream Media, think they know the “Truth”.

However, when you are lied to continually, and those lies are couched in “science” like the so-called vaccines have been, mask mandates and even the corona virus and actual FACTS have been denied and hidden by Social Media, the public has been led to believe the lies. The Main Stream Media, Social Media, and world Leaders themselves have been continually lying to us all.

The truth, my friends is that you’re being lied too.

THAT is a FACT.

There is no other truth any more. Facts are what make up reality.

Reality is being slowly, and surely molded to change before your eyes. I am not only speaking to Americans, but to every, free person in the world today. This is not about nations, it is about being Free People. Sure, keep your borders (important to maintain your own culture) but, also know that the American Constitution is not just about Americans. It is about Freedom. Sure, America has it to ensure our rights, but there is nothing stopping the rest of the world from adopting a similar method, reasoning and fighting spirit. Now, finish reading…. the last part is most important.

Now here is another FACT for you: The Vaccine is an Existential Threat to humanity. And so are the World Leaders who are attempting to force it on you.

This is your last chance stand up, to say no and to make the “powers that be” know you will not give in any more. And when they try to force you, you must fight back. Fight for your lives, fight for your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. If you do not, there will be no “human race” in 20 more years. There will be Elites and Slaves. Your children will be the slaves. Guess where YOU will be.

Stand up, Fight Back, Resist

Stand up, Fight Back, Resist

I’m going to let everyone who has been paying attention, onto a little secret.

There’s no “Leader” or “Hero” who is gonna step forward.

There’s no “storm” coming.

There’s no “count down”.

No one is coming to save you or America.

An election was stolen.

A fake vaccine was created and then a “disease” was thrust into our countries, to FORCE to take this fake vaccine. It’s not even a vaccine if you’re listening to the doctors. NO, not the CDC, or WHO, I’m talking about the man who INVENTED it. I’m talking about the hundreds of virologists, and experts, MDs and PHDs who’ve been coming forward on a daily basis to tell the truth.

Thosands have been injured or even killed by this “vaccine”. Normal testing was never performed. No clinical trials. (Ask yourselves why not….)

The claim that 650,000 American’s died from Covid is as much a hoax as the virus itself. Sure, people are getting a severe cold or flu (golly CORONA VIRUSES make up about half of all the cold viruses out there) and sure, they’ve been dying from complications. BUT THE MAJORITY ARE NOT DYING. The old, the infirm, those with other medical issues….

Ask why they are now TRYING TO FORCE A “vaccine” on everyone, EVERYONE. WHO is doing that? WHY are they doing it? What gives them the RIGHT to do it? (Nothing gives them the right). The Chinese and Australia are literally holding people down and injecting them with something. WHY!

We are in a war for our very lives in this country, for our freedoms, for our Liberty, for our Constitution, for our Way of Life and for the future of this country long after we’re gone.

The Communists embedded in our government aren’t going away, aren’t getting arrested, aren’t being tried for treason, and certainly aren’t being sent to GITMO. Anon and Q appears to have been a psychological operation created by CIA, or the CCP, or the Leftists, or someone who worked this out ahead of time and used gullibility of the “Believing American People”, their Hope and Caring to keep them at bay, while the Commies worked their magic to steal an election, to get good Americans arrested, and Bad People they could control, put in public offices.

Americans must start now, rise up. Fight back, demand accountability of any elected official, all of them, not a few, but ALL of them. We the People control this country.

The country is not controlled by “politicians” and it’s high time to put a hard stop to their belief they are our leaders. They are NOT our leaders. They are our servants.

Starting on 11 September 2021, we will all need to be stepping up to the plate. No more “big business” support, no amazon, no facebook, no twitter. Use signal, telegram and small social media to get in touch. Use your TELEPHONE to call, but, best, talk to people IN PERSON. Continue to support LOCAL businesses who refuse to give in to masks, shots, the hype and Leftists. Stock up on food, gas and other important items.

If you have Mayors and Governors who are Leftists/Commies, START PROTESTING in front of their offices, their homes, follow them around. School boards are being removed slowly, keep that up. SCARE THEM OFF.

No violence. Not unless someone else is violent with you, then PUT THEM DOWN. Fight back if you must, but don’t start it. Take the high ground.

Heinlien postulated that “An Armed Society, is a polite Society.” If there are Vets out there willing to, once again, pick up weapons and guard the backs of Real Americans, it’s high time we do it. Walk the bleeding edge of what is necessary to keep Antifa and the Criminal Left out of our people’s faces, backs and flanks.

Never use your weapon unless it becomes necessary and the other side becomes a threat to Life, Limb and Property. Follow the states’ laws to the Letter. Don’t give a stacked court another victim, you.

Remember I said no “Leader” or “Hero” is gonna step forward? Well, I lied.

That Leader or Hero is right there with you, RIGHT NOW, reading this. It is YOU.

The American People, the American Public, the America we all know and love lives right there inside your heart and head.

YOU who fly that flag.

You, who stand up to Tyranny.

YOU are that Leader in your own community. Each of us has skills, abilities and a love for this country that goes back to the very beginning of our genetics, to the foundation of this country, and to the Republic’s very tiny roots.

America was FOUNDED by PEOPLE LIKE YOU. By your fore-fathers and fore-mothers who were curious, brave, and emboldened to step away from regimes of Monarchs and form a free country. These are your roots. This country has stood for FREEDOM for 245 years, we have fought pirates, Monarchies, Communists, Socialists and Muslims. Anyone who would take the freedoms of others. And now, we’re allowing these scum into our governments, into our schools and into our lives simply because we were afraid be called names, or embarrassed on Social Media?

Stand up, America. Stand up Americans!

Be again, what you were before, a BEACON of HOPE for those who wish to be Free. Stop cowering because you’re afraid.

You are the Leader. You are the Hero.

YOU are the one to stop this onslaught against the American People and our Way of Life.

How:

Organize and attend peaceful rallies throughout your state. Let your voices be heard and your presence felt.

Let the so-called “leaders” know your demands and your determination.

Thousands of small rallies will collectively be more powerful than one large rally.

STOP doing business with the enemy. Show the enemy who really holds the power of the purse strings. Don’t cross the virtual picket line. Cut off the enemy’s monetary supply lines.

Organize your community for communication and support services locally. (

Here’s SOME of the companies who don’t believe in America: https://www.cancelthiscompany.com/index.html)

If you have local companies that are refusing entry over masks, vaccine “papers”, make sure you call the Nazis out for it, publicly. NO ONE has a right to demand your papers. Especially if they can’t ask for ID for voting.

Vaccine Scam and China

Not being a conspiracy theorist sometimes has it’s difficulities. For instance, this author can’t go and find random crap, connect it to a “kernel of truth” and make it sound mysterious and evil, like the Mason haters, and the “Anti-Bush” people, the “Reptilian Hunters” and the “There was no Holocaust” dumb asses. This thing, however, is easy.

As an ancient Cold Warrior – that’s a guy who knew the Soviets were trying to kill us any way they could, as were the Chinese – I KNEW there were always nefarious schemes out there. ANYONE who has ever READ any of the unclassified history of the Central Intelligence Agency or the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), or the Codebreakers (a large book on encryption, ciphers, and the history of such things) KNOWS that there is a dark and dangerous past in this country and it goes all the way back to ancient Greece, Rome and even back to Egypt. Spies are spies and they do what they do for their countries, and some switch for money.

We also know Communism has killed more people than anything else in history, including most all of the combined “pandemics” in recorded history. Ok, perhaps that’s a slight exaggeration. About 100 million in 100 years by the commies. Pretty good record. Couple of hundred million over the ages though, by plagues like bubonic plague, small pox and so on.

However, we’re here to talk about both Covid and Communism. When this disease was “discovered” in Wuhan, China (capitol of Hubui Provence, China) rumors were that it was an animal-to-human transfer. People eating live bats from a “wet market” were the “original cause”. Over time, this was poo-poohed by everyone from China to the US Government. Then videos “leaked” from China showing people dropping dead from this virus (supposedly), bleeding from their heads, eyes, falling out at trains and off benches.

This terrified everyone. As was the purpose o such leaked videos. The Chinese have a strangle hold on social media, controlling every aspect of life there in China with an iron fist. This author has visited there, and know this to be truth. Also, we know from previous visits they film every individual visiting them constantly, following them with specialized tails and video gear. They even plant devices in your rooms, microphones in the walls and places you would not think to look.

So, it is a foregone conclusion that no one is leaking anything without approval. Especially not videos showing men welding doors shut on apartment complexes, and buildings to prevent people from leaving, or dead and dying in the streets. Not, especially if one has ACTUALLY ACCIDENTALLY RELEASED by the Chinese. Why would that happen?

Because they wanted to terrify the Western Civilization.

Communist China has a long term goal of ruling the entire Pacific Rim, and eventually the world itself through the use of Communist tactics. They aren’t going to ALLOW someone to release a video of dead and dying if they created a virus “by accident” or even on purpose.

But, what IS China doing? Follow along a moment if you will, down the rabbit hole.

China has managed to place hundreds if not thousands of agents around the world in governments, including the United States, because we do NOT do the checks we used to do about communist backgrounds. We don’t check that. We check if someone is belonging to a group “advocating the overthrow” of the government, but never ask “Are you a Communist” or “Are you a Socialist”. Those questions are verboten.

China has bought and paid for governors, medical people, doctors, lawyers, politicians and petty men and women throughout the USA involved in politics. Offering money to them in large amounts and giving them, or threatening them, to prevent them from speaking is one way they are doing this. They are using our OWN money by purchasing things and leveraging large amounts of land, natural resources and people.

Now, add in that there are people like doctors involved in some of the big pharmaceutical corporations also involved.

Fast forward to Trump saying “We will make a vaccine!”

Just precisely what those companies in the pockets of China needed. Creation of a depopulation vaccine.

It’s not actually a vaccine. It’s a dangerous shot intended to ruin out ability to reproduce. More on that in a moment. Watch this video and copy down the numbers.

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRjvefyK/

Now… consider this. Some doctors have been going public saying this vaccination and the material moves to the ovaries and testicles in men and women.

The Chinese have a LONG TERM goal of ruling the world. So what if it takes a decade or ten more? As long as they control things eventually.

What IF these companies have produced this drug and convinced governments like Australia and UK to FORCE children to take this “for their safety”?

And what IF this drug sterilizes everyone over time? You, your children, eventually your grand kids who will simply take the vaccination as a matter of course?

What IF all the countries forcing this start to depopulate, albeit, slowly, and then in ten or twenty years, Communism is inculcated (which is actually being done NOW) into all of Western Society? And finally, what if China simply takes over by this method?

I submit China didn’t create a virus, they created an ENVIRONMENT through which panic driven politicians (probably MOSTLY in the dark about this) force this virus upon an innocent population and force Western Society to go against ALL human rights precepts to accept this “vaccination” – to cause a voluntary depopulation of the this planet?

China doesn’t care how long this will take, and they will sit and laugh at the stupid westerners for their mistakes, their hype, their belief in something untrue and the lies told them by politicians.

If you are young and you take this vaccine right now, until it is proven safe (and just because the FDA is being said to have approved one of them does not make it so), then you are helping to DOOM the West forever.

https://rumble.com/vlmd4g-pfizer-seeking-full-indemnification.html

Video above is saying that this vaccine that the FDA supposedly approved, IS NOT ACTUALLY APPROVED. Media lying.

Defend the Constitution Now

The “Narrative” Falters, and the Investigations will begin.

Folks, Freedom has never been free.  It costs blood, money and lives.  Today we stand on the edge of an abyss, where the sheep are destined to die, not as a free people, but as sheep led to the slaughter.  Fear, and shame have forced you into your homes.  Lies from the media, padded numbers, lack of information and data in the beginning have wrought a huge and undeniable political mess.

We have allowed the Left, the Leftist Governors, and the wannabe petty tyrants in every level of government get out of control, and to control you!  All over a virus.  All over the words “It’s for your safety.”

 

For weeks I have stated, regardless of a virus of whatever “virility” it has, the Constitution, our Rights as Americans have been and are being violated consistently.

 

I have around me people who state over and over “it’s not illegal for a governor” to do what they have done.

 

Or “Wear a mask!” or “we all need to stay home or DIE!”

 

But, what every, last one of these people misunderstand is the Oath of office I took several times, beginning more than forty-five years ago to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that oath never ran out. It didn’t mean “Fighting just commies” or enemies of America.

 

That oath has nothing to do with a virus, or my health.

 

It MEANT and MEANS to DEFEND and UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES.

 

Governors FORCING people by edict into their homes against their will, telling them “you will die” is not only illegal, it’s against the Constitution of the United States, and nearly every Constitution of every state.

 

Businesses have been shut down. People are going hungry. Stores are out of food, supplies, and no one can go outside.

 

All because a few people felt power because of this virus. And others are made to feel powerless over the virus. Whether this virus is deadly or not isn’t relevant. What IS relevant are the people who can’t work because of ILLEGAL orders (Executive orders) from Governors.

 

I’ve explained this over and over, but executive orders are meant to manage agencies under the Executive (President, governor, mayor etc). Mayors haven’t the authority to close cities. Governors haven’t the authority to close their states. The President hasn’t the authority to place the entire US on House Arrest either (and God Forbid if he put out such an EO right now – the Left would all die as their heads exploded saying it was illegal, think about that a minute).

 

Legislatures make laws. NOT Governors, and certainly not by executive order. Especially not to control Citizens’ behaviors.

 

Now these illegal orders by Governors and by various “smaller bureaucrats” like the one in this letter from the State of Colorado, (and this one to the North Carolina governor), are about to find out just how illegal their actions were.

 

I’m by no means a lawyer – but I can certainly understand High School Civics, and don’t try to “interpret the law”; I read it for what it is, and I study the various cases associated with such things.

 

America was founded on the Declaration of Independence, and it was based on the same nonsense happening here; petty overloads pretending to be governors sent by some “King” as his voice abused the people of their country, the Colonists.

 

The same thing is happening now. The faces and names have changed, the system of government is no longer a Monarchy, but, there are those that WANT it to be.

 

A virus might kill everyone, but by God it’s our right to be a Free People; not under house arrest for months.

 

It is HIGH TIME to open the states, the businesses and let people get back to being NORMAL.

 

All over this country, Americans are revolting against these illegal orders, reopening their businesses, police and sheriffs refusing to cite citizens for not wearing masks, or reopening their shops. People are sick and tired of the tyranny of a few Governors.

 

It doesn’t take a genius to see which Governors are the culprits either. It’s about to bite a certain political party directly in the ass too; and every, single governor who wanted to play “King”.

 

So I say to all Americans, if you’re scared of the virus, YOU stay home. If you’re terrified you might die if you contract it, then YOU wear a mask. If you’re worried about it so much, that you have to tell others “what to do” then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

 

If, however, you believe in America as I do, then stand up, be counted now, contact those governors and tell them you’re done playing this game. Time’s up. We’re going back to normal in SPITE of them.

 

The Governors all these states need to stand down, and do it tonight, or there’s going to be hell to pay sooner than later.

 

DO NOT be SURPRISED in November at what is going to happen to those who kept their states closed, or to people like Pelosi and the rest of that group.

 

Your time is up.

Attached are copies of the letters:

Gate Keepers of “Truth”

Today I discovered something I already knew in my gut.

YOU are NOT ALLOWED to have a DIFFERENT OPINION.

Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, WordPress and other such places are removing ANY information or data contrary to what they want you to know.

No, I didn’t really just “discover it” I suppose. I have know it. But today, I got actual, hard evidence.

Seeing a movie on Facebook about “Plandemic” – this covid virus – and how it was a PLANNED thing, rather than an accident, Youtube removed the movie.  I went hunting for further information.

I found WordPress has removed several sites talking about it.

So, if MY site suddenly vanishes, you will know why, it’s NOT because *I* took it down.

Here is the video:  https://www.bitchute.com/video/NPYdyZpSZCEA/

Go there, read the links and download and pass this video along.

You are being conditioned to believe that those who stand up for their rights are selfish, extreme, irresponsible, irrational, hateful and lawless.

YOU ARE BEING CONDITIONED. YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED.  You are listening to the propaganda, and you are FALLING FOR THE LIES.

We are a thinking people.  We are a reasoning people.  We are capable of making our own decisions.  We do NOT need a government to “baby sit” us.  We do not WANT a government to tell us how to act, behave, where to go, when to go, how to go, what to do or how to do it.

We the People of the United States of America control these so-called law makers in Congress and in the state Legislatures.  It’s time to remove them.

Well past time.

 

Real or Fake News?

Friday, 1 May 2020, the CDC updated their numbers.

I pulled the screen shot below from Facebook.

As of May 1, the CDC saying there were 64,283 deaths.

(From CDC – https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html)

In REALITY, the death tolls being reported by the CDC on their main page are MISLEADING at best, lies at worst.

The following is ALSO a screen shot, directly from the CDC.

Where are they getting these? (CDC)  Read their data to find out – but to summarize, they are pulling it from death certificates across the country.  They also put out a letter stating that if someone dies, and they have been tested and have the Covid virus, the reporting officials are supposed to put “Covid” on the death certificate.

(See:  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf)

Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?

COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II. (See attached Guidance for Certifying COVID-19 Deaths)

This is called “padding the numbers”.  Because they want it reported as COVID-19, if a patient had COPD, the other parts are “reported on part II” of their forms, thereby allowing data entry to only show “Covid”.

So a patient that dies from pneumonia caused by covid, flu, or any other cause is being reported as “Covid-19”.

What we are seeing is a deliberate, and politically motivated attempt to show many more deaths in the USA related to this Chinese Virus, than actually caused by the virus.

Do we believe there is no virus?  Not at all. We are sure there is a virus.  We are not sure it was ever a virus that we should have made a bigger issue of, than H1N1 or SARS,  or MERS, however.  (This virus IS a SARS like virus though, so we DO understand that it MIGHT have been a very dangerous virus, and understand the original precautions.  At this point though, should be continue those precautions and shut down the entire US Economy over a “maybe”?)

Do we think it is dangerous?  Probably at least as dangerous as the worst flu you can imagine, and that means that many of people who are elderly, already is poor health or affected by other diseases like COPD, asthma, or other respiratory illnesses could be placed in danger by this virus.  Likely it is not as dangerous to many people as some other virus might be, but more dangerous than some.  H1N1 and various strains of this swine flu have been around for more than 100 years, and every time it rears it’s ugly head, people die.  The Spanish Flu (which was actually a CHINESE ORIGINATED flu) was also H1N1.  Masks and quarantines did little to stop that flu as well.

Do we believe the media about this virus?  No, emphatically not now.  In the beginning we were ALL willing to do what it takes to prevent the spread.  We stayed home. We wore masks.  Some people attempted to corner the market on hand sanitizer and for some unknown reason, toilet paper.  But, we stayed home, willingly closed our businesses, stayed away from others.  As for 17 March in most places, several states closed down, many more followed suit.

It has been very close to seven weeks for many states, cities and townships.  The Hot Spots like New York are still seeing spikes, because, for whatever reason the virus was already spread.  Places that have closed perhaps mitigated the spread.  But, perhaps not.  We just don’t know.

What we HAVE accomplished is to scare people who are otherwise quite reasonable people, who understand that to be immune to something you generally have to be exposed to it, and develop antibodies.  The other thing we have accomplished is social isolation – for a species of reasoning creatures whose very existence is dependent up on contact with others, the human race.

The other thing we’ve accomplished with isolation is to prevent people from being exposed to this virus, thereby giving them a higher chance of catching it worse than if they had been exposed on a normal basis.

Herd immunity, or Community Immunity is something that happens.  Here’s a excerpt from a medical site explaining it:

Herd Immunity

Herd immunity, or community immunity, is when a large part of the population of an area is immune to a specific disease. If enough people are resistant to the cause of a disease, such as a virus or bacteria, it has nowhere to go.

While not every single individual may be immune, the group as a whole has protection. This is because there are fewer high-risk people overall. The infection rates drop, and the disease peters out.

Herd immunity protects at-risk populations. These include babies and those whose immune systems are weak and can’t get resistance on their own.

For those interested in how your body behaves during a cold virus, as well as the information on the type of viruses that can cause a cold, see this link.

By the way, one of the viruses that causes “colds” is… none other than the Corona Virus.

Finally, check out this link, to see how you can improve your own immune system.

Basically, our conclusion is that this virus was mostly hyperbole, and worse for some, while not affecting others at all, or they had very light symptoms and didn’t even know they were exposed.  It’s appearing more and more like the greatest and worse aspect of this entire virus was a “Gun and Right grabbing” group of people who are currently attempting to take advantage of the “national emergency” by  declaring a local or state emergency, in an effort to extend and push an agenda of “Removal of Rights by Fiat”.

By making some sort of legal-sounding order and convincing millions of people to follow that order for some period of time (in general a few months for a reasonable-person-standard) you apply a rule that isn’t law and make it “law” by fiat.  (Please go understand how “reasonable person standard” is used in law!)

A Mayor, or Governor has NO RIGHT to close legitimate businesses, cancel far-in-advance July 4th parades or prevent people from enjoying the parks (we paid for) and beaches which exist along the entire coast, based solely on their own perception, belief or interpretation.  However, we Americans are REASONABLE people and in general will listen to our “elected officials” because most folks want “leadership” and expect leadership to show in these people.

We also want and need to be helpful to our friends, neighbors and our Country in general.  At some point though, when that help is expected, assumed or even forced, it goes against our very grain as Americans.  Asking us nicely is one thing.  Putting us under orders to do something based on a Government Entity telling us to do so, is not nice and we simply don’t like it.

For an American population to stand back and allow these suggestions from the CDC and the Federal government, for a time, for the good of everyone is fine.  WE complied.  But now, to continue to arbitrarily (and against the original intent) to extend the conditions of “imposed isolation” and “private incarceration” by Mayors and Governors through obviously over-reaching “Rules” in direct contradiction to the actual data from the CDC, the President, and the Task Force is placing YOURSELVES, YOUR POPULATION at RISK of something much, much greater than “fear” or disease.

If the population continues to follow illegal orders, they risk this becoming the normal for society, the ARBITRARY “6 foot” separation rule becoming a “norm” and allowing the local governments to close your businesses permanently if they don’t “consider you essential”.

In the end, when it comes down to law suits (and it WILL come down to Civil Rights violations law suits) the government(s) can point to a reasonable person standard and say “A reasonable person would have demanded the removal of these regulations in a reasonable period of time”, and probably win the case against the parties bringing the suit.

It is time to stand up, be heard and stop allowing your local governments, particularly in the case of areas that have NOT been affected at all, to continue to extend the ban against businesses, parks, recreation, boating, biking, bars, eating establishments, barbers, salons and the rest of the “Essential Businesses” out there!

Protests In California

 

Multiple protests were going on yesterday is California, across the state.

North Carolina has an on-going, Tuesday, “Rally at Raleigh”

Colorado has gridlocked Denver at least once, and promising to do it again.

The media is reticent in telling us about these events.

The government is ignoring them.

The media is also speaking negatively about the “social distancing rules” when people are refusing to wear masks (against their constitutional right to do so).

Folks, we need to kick this crap up a notch.

We need to reopen our states, our businesses and get people back together again.

California has extended the Stay home order until 31 May.

Local areas in North Carolina have extended it another two weeks.

No rhyme or reason why, certain not science related.

 

It’s for your safety!

On 11 March 2020, Rhode Island announced a door-to-door campaign to determine if people were there visiting from New York, the local “Hot Spot” to go catch the Chinese Virus or KungFlu (also known as Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2).  If they are/were visiting they were going to immediately, without any due process, to remained locked in the place they were staying for 14 days, in quarantine, disallowed from going out side under threat of arrest and fines.

That very same day, police were stopping cars with out of state plates, informing the people in the cars of the “14 day quarantine”; presumably placing the people in the car as well as officers at risk themselves of coming into contact with someone already infected.

In a little town in North Carolina, called Oak Island, rumors were rampant of police giving tickets to people from out of state.  On the 17th of March, Oak Island closed the bars, pubs, and all small “non-essential businesses”.  These included cleaning businesses, bike paths, jogging trails (there are few of those), local parks and boat ramps.

The State of North Carolina made a point of leaving the State run ABC stores OPEN (which are still open).  The majority of DMV offices, however, were closed.  Doctors offices began cancelling all appointments.  Routine “cancer screenings” were stopped, as were other, important check ups for the elderly, because, “Well, you’re stable, you don’t need to come in….”

Outer Banks shut down their bridges, stopping and turning around cars coming from “outside”, even if they owned property, they were disallowed from going into their homes on the islands of the Outer Banks.

Cruising boats (boats that have full time crews, owners and people traveling from port to port, state to state, along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), to the Bahamas, Florida and so forth) were physically stopped and turned around along the ICW.  Fortunately, some Americans called the US Coast Guard on the local police, and they were ordered to cease and desist in preventing sailors from passing through.  This did NOT stop some of the “local self-appointed sheriffs” from stopping others from dropping an anchor in safe harbors (even though they had no intention of going ashore, but were simply seeking safety for the evening along their intended course).

The 14th Amendment states:

Amendment XIV

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

From this alone, we can see that Rhode Island (and the Outer Banks, Oak Island) has well over stepped any bounds, and placed themselves in jeopardy of being sued for Civil Rights Violations.

Futhermore, Governors in several states, specifically Colorado, North Carolina, Michigan and New York (Many others have done the same thing).

Some of these states are issuing “Executive orders” and stating “This makes it law”  (Colorado is a specific example of this).

We all understand there’s a danger in catching a terrible, life-threatening virus.  Many of us, especially older people, already are “smart enough” to wash our hands, and ensure we’re not exposed to people who are obviously ill.  And we hear you “Nannies” telling us we don’t KNOW who is sick!

But, there’s a fine line in being a nanny and a ninny.

There’s also a fine line between “legal” and “illegal”.

In the United States, Executive Orders are issued by an Executive, like the President or the Governor of a state. Those Orders do NOT have “force of law” where individuals are concerned.  Executive Orders are used to manage, or control an entity or agency under the President or Governor.

Executive Orders are NOT to control people, population, or to interfere with businesses.

It isn’t LEGAL for a “Governor” to sign an “edict” to tell the people where to go, how to act, or to control their movements. Controlling someone’s movements through out, into and out of ANY STATE is AGAINST Federal Law.

Our Constitution LIMITS the government, not the people.

ALL “Rights” specifically not delegated to the USA by the Constitution are reserved to the states, or to the People.

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

This doesn’t allow the states to unilaterally deny access to jobs, beaches, parks, trails, or any businesses. (In reality, this disallows Feds, State and local governments from even exercising their ‘rights’ over revenue income, like alcohol, tobacco, firearms, marijuana, etc but for some reason these are ignored by everyone and even accepted).

The Constitution’s 10th Amendment specifically disallows the Federal Government from placing mandates on states and people, like telling them “to stay home”.

Using one state as an example, Colorado, let’s look at something specific to understand the issue more clearly.

Colorado issues an executive order to “Stay home“.   This is being treated as “Law”, but the state of Colorado has a State Legislature, who creates the laws, which are then signed INTO law by the Governor (Polis).  The State Legislature took no such action.  The EO as shown in the link above orders people to stay home.

In contradiction to this, the state Covid stay-at-home-explanation states, CLEARLY;

Will I be fined or jailed if I don’t follow the stay-at-home order?

This Executive Order Ordering Coloradans to Stay at Home makes this the law, therefore breaking the order is breaking the law. Success depends on all of us doing our part to slow the spread of the virus and ultimately, save lives. We are calling for voluntary compliance by all affected; however, local law enforcement agencies have the authority to enforce this law. Local law enforcement enforces public health orders. State law enforcement will assist and support in any way requested, but our hope is that involvement by law enforcement is reserved only for the most aggravated circumstances.  We are calling on people to individually do their part. Your employer may be fined if they are not following the rules outlined in this order.

Public “health” orders.

It’s for YOUR safety, Citizen!  Go home. Stay home.  Don’t visit.  No contact with others.

Law Enforcement has no authority to “enforce public health orders” – and declaring an “emergency” or “disaster” gives a government/governor over reaching “authority” to do as he or she sees fit.

Against YOUR WILL.  Against the Will of the People.  Against businesses.  All Businesses, regardless of their product or service are essential to someone, otherwise they would not be in business. (Read this link about essential businesses)

In a Police State, the government can do anything it likes, to you, about you, to your business, to your family.  Right now, we are in a Police State.  Each state claiming to be doing this under the auspices of “For your Own Safety” are doing so “Against the Law” and “against The People”, and “against Capitalism”.

Businesses are shutting down, permanently.  Every day this continues, more and more are closing their doors forever.  They can’t make their bills, which, didn’t stop.  They can’t pay employees, whom they are letting go.  Employees are making more money staying home than going to work in some areas of the country – thus the gas station people, dollar store people are making their 7 bucks an hour minimum wage, while the “Stay at home, non-essentials” are making 400-800 dollars a week in unemployment monies.

Suicide rates are up, but there is little information at this point to show this to be true, we know it is happening.  We also know that most deaths are being attributed to the virus itself.

Human beings, by and large, are social creatures.  We love to see our friends, family, meet with people, do things together.  While some of us are more “stay at home types”, the majority go out at least once a month, while many are out every chance we get.  Some of us live a different life than most, out of doors most of the time, inside for only sleeping, rest or hiding from the heat or cold of the day.

Being “sentenced” to an imprisonment indoors for having committed no crime, for an indeterminate period of time, without the ability to even go to a beach, park, or ride your bike, or visit your favorite watering hole is criminal.

Even Criminals have due process, Civil Rights, right to a speedy trial.  And look at the number of “criminals” who’ve been released from prison to “prevent them from catching Covid-19″…  Common sense among some of these so-called leaders walked out the door and never looked back upon them.

To plant the final seed, remember these people aren’t our “leaders”.  They are elected officials.  They have NO/ZERO/NONE Authority to control, or tell an adult, human, FREE Population what to do, nor how to do it without your CONSENT.

Remove their Consent.  Do it today.  Stop these illegal activities and understand that We the PEOPLE run this country, and will no longer allow tyrants to do so.  Also understand we have the Right to decide our OWN fates, to mingle or not as WE choose, not how some Nazi/Leftist Government wants us to do….

Vote them out, recall them, order them to stand down, protest this over stepping of Constitutional Boundaries and remove them come November, from any chance of every controlling you again.

 

 

“Emphatically, NO!”

EDIT:  Facebook removed the original video.  Here’s a copy of it: https://www.bitchute.com/video/BTLii-e_UtY/

Edit 2:https://www.aier.org/article/open-up-society-now-say-dr-dan-erickson-and-dr-artin-massihi/

Dr. Dan Erickson of Bakersfield, CA just dropped multiple bombshells that completely eviscerate the official government narrative. Main points made by the doctor:

1. The answer as to whether or not we need to continue to stay at home and keep businesses closed is an emphatic “NO”.

2. Covid-19 is in fact no more dangerous than seasonal flu.

3. Quarantining is a health hazard in and of itself.

4. ER doctors are being pressured to add Covid-19 to death reports.

5. Not about science. Not about Covid-19. When they use the word “safe” – that’s about controlling you.

Time to get back to work America.

A free people doesn’t ask for permission to live.

Remember, you have an inalienable right to resume your life.

Essential Businesses

I wrote this yesterday, and got a lot of “Likes” on Facebook, along with dozens of comments in various groups I frequent.  Here’s what I think.

Facebook asks “What’s on your mind, Rick?”

Well, here you go.

“Essential Businesses”

Why are some people getting letters to “be out on the street” and others are not? Because they are “essential employees”. Like fast food, or restaurants. Or grocery stores. Gas stations. Liquor stores. Weed stores (in Colorado, we’re not just talking about medical either….)

What about barbers? Hair stylists? What about the local auto parts place, auto repair, what about a tire shop? What about any other businesses?

Seriously?

This is America. The United States of America. This is not Venezuela. This ain’t Cuba. This is NOT some Socialist country. This is a Capitalist country, contrary to what most want you to think. (Yeah, I keep hearing the bull crap about “Oh, that Social Security is Socialism!” – no, it is an involuntary removal of my hard earned monies as a type of a tax, which they never intended to give back to me, in the hopes I’d be dead “waiting to get the maximum amount at 75 years old….)

Folks, this country RUNS on the backs of blue collar workers, truckers, farmers, factories. It doesn’t run on Progressive Professor’s backs, or Marxists students working at McDonald’s.

With that said, I say, All businesses are essential.

They are essential to the economy, they are essential to those running the businesses as a form of income, they are essential to the workers in the place for their pay check, they are essential to the government because they pay taxes and provide revenue, they are essential to anyone associated with the business whether they are on the “work side” or the “consumer side” for peace of mind, health and body for people to have the ability to feel “needed” and “wanted”.

Regardless of the TYPE of business, each of them has a clientele, each has consumers, each has customers, each has the ability to fill a need, want or service for SOMEONE somewhere.

NO BUSINESS is “non-essential”.

The arbitrary closing of many businesses is a TRICK of various state governments to make you THINK you’re non-essential, and to bring up the “fast food worker’s ability to now earn $15 or more per hour” (yes, we’ve seen those memes.

I give you the “pub” as an example. People working there get paid, and many have families, and children. They provide a service (beer, drinks, snacks, and a place to go to hang out and relax) and the patrons feel “wanted” by someone. The wait staff make small amounts of money and big tips. The bar tenders lend an ear, and make good drinks or pull your favorite kind of beer. But, the gist of it is, EVERY PERSON THERE IS EARNING MONEY.

Now, they are not. The businesses are closed, and as in the case here where I am located it’s been a month now (short of three days as of this writing) and MOST of those workers I mention are out of jobs. They are earning nothing. The BUSINESSES are earning… nothing. The mortgages are due. The bills likely going unpaid. The supplies ruined and thrown out for the most part.

So – how is a pub “essential”? The people are going broke. Oh, sure, there’s that “$1200 check” the “government” is gonna send you right? As pointed out today by a friend, “read the fine print”. That’s a kind of tax kick back. Next year, you’re gonna pay for that. It’ll be taxed. Yup, taxed.

The Pubs are essential to pay the people working in them. And so are nail salons, hair salons, barbers, tire places, and most any other business with employees.

Playing this “non-essential game” is just that, a GAME.

This is getting out of hand, and it’s going to bite us all in the ass soon.

Get this damned state, and all the others back up and running, the sooner, the better. Maintain your “Social Distancing” (no matter how ignorant that sounds, and wash your hands. Stop being idiots about this, and get this country back to business).

IF YOU PERSONALLY are SCARED TO GO OUT, then stay the hell home, but don’t tell ME to stay in doors. I’m not going to do it anymore.

I will not live in a Police State with a bunch of tattle tale sissies and wussies. You wanna stay home, then do it. But stop telling ME what to do.

 

From a Microbiologist

This is a re-share from Facebook.

Caveats:  Don’t know this person personally, it’s on Facebook, Did check profile and seems to be what he says he is.  This is informational only, not the final word on anything.

Re-shared WITHOUT permission at this time, I will attempt to get permission, but in general if someone has shared it to facebook publicly, it’s generally ok to share informational topics to the general public.

From Pat Fidopiastis on Facebook:

As anxiety levels rise due to COVID19 I just wanted to provide some essential context for some of the more alarming information being put out by officials. I have a Ph.D. in microbiology; I teach advanced courses in virus replication and pathogenesis, so if any of my opinions or facts offend you, spare me your Google Searches, you’re not telling me anything I don’t know. We’re in this together now and we must all see it through. But, we don’t need to endure it with any more added stress from the news headlines than is necessary to achieve the end goal. The situation is fluid, so some data and opinions might change going forward.

“COVID19 is 10X deadlier than the flu”.
There is nowhere near enough data to make this claim. Thus, reported case fatality rates are basically just a guess. Patients that have been tested for COVID19 are disproportionately the sickest patients because so far our limited testing capacity is reserved for them. Also, the COVID19 dataset is much smaller than the influenza dataset; bias is far greater in the much smaller COVID19 data set, especially when the calculations are swayed by numbers taken from groups of disproportionally older people stuck on cruise ships. Thus, I’ll bet my Ph.D. that fatality rates will drop dramatically as the overwhelming majority of mild cases are added to the COVID19 data set. Furthermore, COVID19 and flu viruses both have RNA genomes, however COVID19’s genome is non-segmented, while flu viruses have segmented genomes. The advantage of a segmented genome is that if multiple different flu viruses infect the same cell, they can swap genome pieces and create progeny with incredible variation. This is why our seasonal flu vaccines are usually not a good match to the types of flu viruses that are circulating, and why we are dogged by resistance to our flu drugs. It is also why my colleagues and I live in constant fear that a new variant of the flu will emerge that’s even deadlier than the 1918 strain. In contrast, COVID19 has remained relatively genetically stable and therefore should be an excellent vaccine and drug target, and it will be unlikely to surprise us with huge changes in its infection patterns.

“COVID19 spreads more easily than the flu”
There is not enough data to make this claim. The R0 (i.e. number of people each infected person will infect) reported for COVID19 ranges from 1.4 to 3.9 depending on which of the several published papers on the subject you rely on. Meanwhile the R0 for the 2009 H1N1 flu is about 1.5 and seasonal flu varies from 0.9 to 2.1. So, there is enough overlap in published R0 values to wonder which virus actually spreads easier. COVID19 appears to have entered our population back in mid-January when a traveler from Wuhan flew to Washington. As COVID19 spread freely during that time (prior to quarantines), it would have disproportionally struck down the most vulnerable first. Subsequently, human behaviors and fewer susceptible hosts would slow the spread. The dire models simply assume a constant rate of virus encountering highly susceptible hosts, which is never the case. The rate of COVID19 spread in Italy is truly staggering, but for context, there were well over 400,000 new cases of flu in Italy in a single week in January 2020. As of this writing, even though COVID19 was freely circulating for two months without any response, the United States has just about 28,000 identified COVID19 cases and about 400 deaths. There will no doubt be more cases and deaths. However, by comparison, in just the US alone, there were about 300,000 new flu cases per day, and 200 flu-related deaths per day, since October 2019. Not surprisingly, the need to stockpile ventilators for severe flu cases is an annual problem in the US; it’s not just an issue associated with COVID19. The fear of medical rationing during this COVID19 outbreak was the motivation for the “flatten the curve” mantra, in which doctors hoped to spread out patient loads to conserve resources. This fear continues to motivate the increasingly difficult restrictions we are facing.

“This situation is unprecedented.”
Our reaction to COVID19 is unprecedented for sure. However, the outbreak scenario is not unprecedented. Despite President Obama and the CDC’s efforts, the 2009 H1N1 swine flu infected roughly 60 million US citizens, resulting in about 274,000 serious hospitalizations (the high-end estimate is over 400,000 in the US), hundreds of pediatric deaths in the US, and at least 13,000 total US deaths (the high-end CDC estimate is over 18,000 deaths in the US). As that pandemic burned through the world, does anyone remember the level of fear and anxiety that we’re experiencing now? Clearly, we did not learn anything about pandemic preparedness because there have been between 140,000-800,000 hospitalizations and between 20,000 to 80,000 flu deaths each year in the US since 2009. Based on this year’s flu data, the US had roughly 300,000 new infections per day, and around 200 deaths per day since October 2019. The number of COVID19 deaths in Italy is frightening, but for context, a published paper on flu-related deaths in Italy revealed that between 2013 and 2017 there were a total of 68,000 deaths, with an average of 17,000 flu-related deaths per year in that time frame. We have a flu vaccine and oseltamivir, yet the WHO estimates there are about 500,000 flu deaths world-wide each year. Apparently, we’ve just decided to accept those numbers year after year. Amazingly, the staggering toll that the flu takes on us each year isn’t enough to motivate us to significantly increase funding for vaccine research, purchase more ventilators, or add more hospital beds; it took something “novel” to instill the level of fear that might motivate these improvements going forward.

COVID19 is “novel”
This is true. It’s clear from the COVID19 genome sequence that this is indeed a virus that only recently made the jump from an animal host to humans. However, related “mild” coronaviruses infect millions world-wide every year, with significant death rates among the elderly, and comprise a significant proportion (up to 11%) of lower respiratory hospitalizations in the US each year. So, while COVID19 is novel, as a group, coronaviruses are not novel.

“COVID19 remains viable in aerosols and surfaces for hours to days”
There is now published data to support specific claims about how long COVID19 remains viable on surfaces. However, there is a difference between “viability” and ability to cause disease in humans. First, it is important to note that details of the environment matter. To simply say that “COVID19 is viable on surfaces for days” oversimplifies the data. For example, small increases in temperature and humidity seem to dramatically interfere with COVID19 viability on surfaces. In order to conduct these experiments, researchers spray huge numbers of viruses onto a surface under defined environmental conditions, remove samples at regular intervals, and then attempt to resuscitate the viruses under ideal conditions in lab culture. In an actual outbreak scenario, in order for a virus sneezed onto a surface to infect a person, it would not only have to endure the environmental stress, but the potentially weakened (albeit viable) virus would then have to endure the various human immune system defenses in order to cause infection. COVID19 has a flimsy outer coating that is highly vulnerable to damage due to environmental stress. This means that just because a virus on a surface can be resuscitated under ideal conditions in a lab does not mean it is able to cause disease in humans. As with death rates, and other information being disseminated by officials, you’re getting worst case scenarios in order to encourage everyone to stick to the plan. However, even knowing that this is a worst-case scenario, properly wiping down surfaces with a disinfectant and practicing good hygiene should be something we do all the time, not just when we’re frightened during a pandemic.

“COVID19 can spread while you are asymptomatic”
This appears to be true and can complicate efforts to control the spread of COVID19. However, asymptomatic spread is true of many pathogens, which is why we should always be mindful of basic levels of hygiene, not just during a pandemic. For example, my students and I sampled college students for a highly communicable pathogen with a death rate of about 20%, responsible for at least 15,000 deaths annually and billions of dollars in added healthcare costs in the US. We detected asymptomatic carriage in 24% of the healthy population, and the strains were resistant to some of the strongest antibiotics we have. How many of us showing the worst side of humanity by overrunning grocery stores and hoarding food and supplies because of a theoretical COVID19 infection knows whether you’re an asymptomatic carrier of the killer we detected in so many healthy young people? Again, basic hygiene at all times and not just during pandemics is our best weapon.

“Nearly 40% of hospitalized COVID19 patients are aged 20-54”
This statistic is based on a cohort of 508 hospitalized patients, in which 38% (about 200) fell into the 20-54 age range. The vast majority (or likely all) of these individuals will recover but because they require resources, this is still a significant statistic. This information is being emphasized probably in response to images of college-aged Spring Breakers openly flouting the latest quarantine orders. The point is that there is still risk, even if you are younger. However, for context, nearly 500 children died of the flu during the 2018-19 flu season, and there were about 2,500 deaths in the 18-49 age range.

“The virus spreads by aerosols, hand to mouth contact with contaminated saliva, and hand to mouth contact with fecal material”
The virus targets ACE2 receptors, which can be found in the mouth, nose, gut, and lungs, so it has the potential for multiple entry points. Thus, each of these suggested transmission routes is supported. This is a strong reason to rely, first and foremost, on hygiene to inactivate and/or remove viruses on skin and inanimate surfaces to minimize the chances of transmission. Aerosol transmission might be mitigated by practicing “distancing” whenever possible, but this approach is simply not a good long-term solution. Notably, certain human behaviors, such as smoking or vaping, can damage the immune response in the lungs and increase the chance of a more serious COVID19 infection. Thus, countries like China with risk factors such as an aging population, cities with unhealthy air quality, and enormous numbers of smokers, are far more likely to have worse outcomes in this COVID19 pandemic.

“The pandemic will last 18 months or longer”
This is possible, but I doubt it. The dire mathematical models that are driving our response to the virus are based on extreme worst-case scenarios in order to force compliance and hopefully end this pandemic as quickly as possible. Still, rather than fret over worst-case models, it is more useful from a “sanity” perspective to look at outcomes in countries that are more like the United States. The first COVID19 case was confirmed in S. Korea on Jan 20, and as of this writing, the number of new cases slowed from nearly 1000 at its peak to about 70. Importantly, according to a recent news report,“S. Korea is experiencing these dramatic drops without locking down entire cities or taking some of the other authoritarian measures used by China to bring down its number of cases.” Apparently, the key to S. Korea’s positive outcome has been expanded testing to quickly identify new cases. To counter balance the dire predictions about the disease, there are equally dire predictions about the long-term effects of quarantines. Here’s a sample of some of the recent headlines: “Domestic violence calls increase as people shelter in place during COVID-19 outbreak”. “Job losses could quickly soar into the millions as coronavirus craters U.S. economy.” “Gun sales surge as coronavirus pandemic spreads.” “Covid-19 positive patient jumps to death in Delhi”. “The threat of quarantine looming over sick workers and school closures threatening food access and child-care shortfalls”, “The lack of paid sick leave for tens of millions of workers could be catastrophic for low-income families“, “The Economic Impact Of COVID-19 Will Hit Minorities The Hardest”. Another thing that fear will do is drive more people to go to the hospital with even the slightest symptoms, which the vast majority would not do during a normal flu season. This not only increases the spread of the virus, it will overrun hospitals, just as it drove people to selfishly wipe out supplies at stores.

The question that we have to ask ourselves is how did we get to a place where epidemic preparedness is an after-thought, yet there’s always money for massive increases in military spending? Why is it that public health officials are contacting me and my colleagues for molecular biology supplies to conduct COVID19 testing, and asking us to step in as volunteers in the event that case-loads get overwhelming? It is a constant struggle to get average citizens to stay focused on outbreak preparedness beyond each sensational news cycle. Who even thinks about Zika virus anymore? What do all of us need to do every day, not just during a pandemic, to limit the frequency of severity of disease spread? Why was it so hard for the wealthiest country in the world to rapidly mobilize our resources to develop test kits to quickly identify and quarantine people infected with the disease? I taught my 9 and 12-year old children to conduct PCR-based COVID19 testing, so it’s not an issue of technical difficulties, it’s just a matter of properly funding the problem in order to scale up resources. Decision makers in our government deemed this preparedness approach too expensive; they are all quickly learning that the costs of our current unsustainable response will be devastating. In the end, our lack of preparedness has resulted in decision-making based on limited data, painting a picture of extreme worst-case scenarios. In turn, once we move past COVID19, we’ll no doubt end up dealing with the fallout from decisions that were just as bad as the problem we were trying to solve.

A tale of two maps

At first, I wanted to think I was wrong. But now, it’s easy to compare. The Governor of North Carolina just announced that we have a “Stay at home” order starting on Monday.  Well, I’m an American, I’m a Veteran, I’m an old guy who is intent on staying alive, and staying in shape.

I refuse to “stay at home”.  Now, I think anyone sick should stay home. I think anyone with this virus or flu, ought to stay home (anyway).  I think if you are immune compromised, you ought to stay home.  I think if you’re over 60 and in poor health, stay the hell home.

The first map is the states currently CLOSED, with stay at home orders. The yellow means businesses are closed….  North Carolina is in Yellow at the moment, they close all the pubs, bars, restaurants over a week ago (Tuesday, 17 March 2020)

Map One – 27 Mar 2020

 

The Second map is showing in blue, all of the DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS. The RED is Republican.

Map Two – Dem vs Rep Governors

For the most part, the only states with “you’re confined to your house” are, in my words,  CommieCrats.

They are TESTING the WATERS friends.  If this were across the board, and the Republicans were doing it too, I might be less concerned.  But, at this point…. if they can get away with this, and force you to stay home, then they can force you to do anything they want. This is a test.

You’re going to fail.

You’re going to fail because most of the states have almost no cases, and if they do they are at home, or in the hospital, and it’s been two weeks of this…..

I do NOT plan to “stay home” or “inside”.  I’m NOT sick. I’ve been “quarantined already” for two weeks now.  Tuesday will be the 15 days.  I’ve had NO close contacts with anyone since the 17th other than my wife.  We’ve not been in physical contact with anyone.  I’ve been careful, washing hands, cleaning up after me, and her, and others, using hand sanitizer.  If I get this virus now… then it was not because I was not careful.

Just because I am OUT and ABOUT does not mean I’m going to get sick.

It does NOT mean I am going to catch something from some random person.

We have less than 700 people in this state (North Carolina) (allegedly) confirmed to have this virus. We’ve had 7 deaths so far.

We have a .45% mortality rate at this time.

Yes, I KNOW it could get worse.  I KNOW people can die from it.  But, they can die from getting hit by a bus.  They can die if they starve to death because “No job, no work, no money”….

Stop letting these States push you AROUND.

2A or not 2A – Sorry, Bill Shakespeare

The Covid-19, a corona virus unknown until present, has taken up all the news of late.  As well it should.

The human race and our survival is suddenly at stake.  Our rights are suppressed.  Our freedoms, suppressed.  Some states are attempting to introduce more laws against guns, gun makers, ammo, restrictions on guns and on people owning those things.

Several groups, including the III% United Patriots – or 3UP, have been clamoring for “action” against the government apparently.  Some of those people have threatened force “if all the boxes are checked”, including quarantine, etc.

This Patriot believes that, while we certainly need to maintain our rights, and stand up for them, and make it CLEAR to any local and state government that attempting to restrict our Freedoms is a no-go, also believes that at least we should also use common sense, and our God Given Talents at understanding what is really happening.

A) This virus is highly suspected to have been manufactured right there in Wuhan, China, where there is certainly a bioweapons lab.  SUSPECTED is a strong word.  It means we have intelligence on this from somewhere.  We have arrested several in connection with stealing information, lying about it, and attempting to smuggle vials out of the country.  All of them are connected to the Chinese government, one is a spy/military agent, a second a smuggler, and a third, American biomedical professor from Harvard, who, spent time in China and was being paid by the Chinese and lied about it.

B) The virus was already “floating around” in places and it hit Italy around the same time, but with more virility than it did in Wuhan.  Wuhan, and China put the kabosh on it quickly, locking people up, dragging them out and into the street, putting them in sealed, metal boxes and taking them to God Knows Where.  China, rapidly got the virus under control – because they are communists, and they will just kill anyone who doesn’t comply.

C) Italy isn’t so lucky.  They are number one on the infected/dead lists.  Italy also has a huge tourism industry, and more Chinese visit Italy than any other country.  Thus, it is not surprising, Italy caught the brunt of the disease, and they waited too long to take extreme measures.

D) Some of us believe the Chinese hid the details of this virus for up to thirty days before releasing information to the world, and it was an attempt to spread, rather than confine this disease.

E) Novel Corona Virus is actually called “2019 nCoV”,  Scientists gave the strain an interim name of 2019-nCoV, accounting for the year of discovery, its status as a “novel” virus, and its family name (CoV).  The new designation, while different, represents the same information.  I’ll just call it “The Chinese Virus” because it pisses off the Left, and everyone is claiming it is “Racist”.  In the past, diseases, foods, and many other things have been named for regions from which they originated.  I’ll stick to the “Old Ways”.

F) I believe this “Chinese Virus” was in fact a bioweapon designed specifically to attack humans, remain undetected for several days while carriers (the people infected) passed it on to many more people.  No other virus does this.  You get an infection, you start getting symptoms and are contagious.  This one is different, thus, man made.  It was designed to be passed rapidly and on a 1:2 or 1:5 basis.  Flu and cold virus have a near 1:1. You get it it, you pass it to one other.  When you pass it on a 1:2 factor, then they do the same, the mathematics tell you we’re in trouble.

G) Simple math.  I have the virus, and pass it to two, so we have 2 people, who pass to two more.  That is 2^2 (or 2 to the second power, four).  If this happens each day for 30 days, each of the persons passing to two more people, the total number of infected becomes: 1073741824 in just 30 days.  In two months, or 60 days that number jumps to 1.152921505×10¹⁸ or 115,292,150,500,000,000 – more people than live on Planet Earth.

H) We assume that only two are infected from each person.  We assume it goes unchecked for 60 days.  We assume everyone can catch it.  We assume no one is doing anything to stop it.  Obviously, we are, as are the people in other countries.  The problem arises though, that some are being completely overwhelmed, like Italy.  There are only so many hospital beds.

I) Given the fact this disease causes pneumonia-like respiratory problems and many (but not all) of the patients require at the peak of the disease, artificial breathing assistance from respirators (requiring intubation-the process of putting a tube over ones trachea tube and machine-breathing for them) we will see a time when hospital beds run out, there will be not enough respirators, and not enough medical professionals to assist the ill.  People will simply die from lack of care.  The death toll will increase dramatically.

Americans are used to freedoms, they are used to coming and going as they wish, and it’s a good freedom, it should NEVER be willingly given up.

HOWEVER, this is the entire human race we’re talking about here, and the whole “social distacing” thing they’ve come up with is a way to prevent us all from coming in to direct contact with others and thereby spreading the disease.

This isn’t about over reaching governments stopping people from having meetings.

This is about the survival of the entire human race at this point.

So… it’s not about 2A or not 2A;  it is about “To Be, or Not to Be…”

Stay home.  Don’t spread this disease.  Don’t come in contact with others.  Give it a few days.

The economy IS going to suffer for a time.  We’re going to go without certain things, for a time.  Life is GOING to be tough for a time – at least for the non-Preppers out there.

We do not have the ability to clone humans yet.  Pray we don’t have to do that, or, we become extinct because of lack of common sense on this planet.  Go home, stay there, watch television or better yet, turn it off and spend time with your loved ones.

Tomorrow is not promised, friends.

Survival is imperative, not socially drinking with your friends tonight.
