I recall at the beginning a woman, at a distance and across the street from me, when I went out for my daily walk, yelling at me for infecting the world by not wearing a mask. She was so distant, I couldn't even see her. I imagined her standing under an EFT tower without a care other than my maskless face because nobody instructed her to beware of EFT towers. And of course that also made me an automatic Trump supporter. I think Trump has become our real life Emmanuel Goldstein. And I think I've come to understand why so many people supported him. There's something refreshingly honest about his dishonesty. It's unlike the stale, predictable dishonesty we're subjected to by the vast majority of politicians today (or ever?), Other than that, the amazing rapidity with which the cashiers at my local Whole Foods had become authorities on how to wear a mask to avoid spreading a non-existent virus, considering that so many of them prior to this couldn't differentiate a turnip from a rutabaga. I guess they were just more interested in health care. And WF was definitely the worst - with Trader Joe's not far behind.. The saddest was a friend who, working from home, told me that she wore a mask at home alone.
But don't you feel a bit sorry for the one working from home, ALONE, wearing a mask? Some wires must have malfunctioned in their brain or they were never connected properly in the first place. These are "special" people. Kind of like "special" olympics. From then on you have to expect a lower performance level in that area of the brain that others typically perform better at. Nothing against special olympics.
"And of course that also made me an automatic Trump supporter."
I had a similar experience in Kingston NY. We tried to get a coffee maskless at a bakery which was on the "left" I guess. (I am formerly registered Green for 20 years) They refused service to us for not wearing masks and a denouncement ensued where we were accused basically of being "Trump supporters." I walked out immediately after that. The woman I was with attempted to debate with them.
Goebbels was right. It's frighteningly easy to turn average people into overnight nazis. If nothing else, this blatant hoax convinced me that yes, we were created as a slave species. How willing we are to obey without thought or reason. Some of us have escaped though. I choose to believe that means there's hope for us all. I'm sure over time, many of those super-zealots have realized they were wrong.
My favorite is a brother of mine showing up to our very elderly parents home, in a haz mat suit including painter's respirator mask. My parents had the good sense not to complie with any government lunacy including masks experimental jabs, social distance, social isolation, etc. and here their own son, a big 6'4 strap of a man was terrified of his own Mother and Father. They told me, he looked like a big gorilla at the door and frightened the life out of them.
I remember the McDonalds analogy being used the other way around. "They'll eat a McRib but won't get the shot".
In March 2020, I was wondering if I was living on the set of a remake of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. I was half expecting to find giant pods in the back gardens of friends who I had believed were rational but were now the true Covidiots. I actually began to wonder if I was being stupid. No one at that point was questioning it on Facebook, so I sent a PM to a FB friend who I had a lot of shared beliefs with. Something like "Am I going made or is it the rest of the world that are losing their minds? This just isn't adding up, it feels like a scam. What do you think?". I was so relieved to receive a reply of agreement. I then became what at the time was pretty much a lone voice on FB (at least on my feed). This led to much confrontation and abuse. And even more declining friend numbers. These included real friends and family. The biggest shock being my elder brother who had always been a radical thinker. Yet he was on the Covid Kool Aid. As I'm sure we have all experienced, no amount of data, commonsense, facts mattered to the inflicted. It was and remains the most astonishing and frustrating thing.
I wish I would have been your friend at the time. I posted and posted and posted that it was nuts to take the jab. I didn't care. Of course I got slammed with FB jail etc. Eventually it all wasn't emotionally and physically good for me to be on FB so I left. But it I had been a friend of yours at least you would have known there were others out there that questioned this from the beginning.
Yesterday morning my neighbor was washing his car wearing a mask! Apparently, he has an inside line from an unknown source because some times he doesn't wear a mask. They actually put up a tarp between our back doors, but has recently taken it down. Needless to say, we don't have a warm relationship.
This is taken from a Facebook meme I posted in 3 years ago today. Truer words never spoken.
"The real conspiracy theorists believe that the government cares about them and that the media would never mislead or lie to them and that the pharmaceutical industry that makes billions off of sickness and disease wants to cure them."
Being asked repeatedly if my vax card was up to date and intense pressure from HUD housing authority to be vaccinated. Yes, I’m injured after two jabs... horrible reactions to jab including skin cancer and horrific skin rashes that lasted months. No clue about internal organs. My nurse friend didn’t get the jab and lost her job. My son was forced to get the jab by his employers of ten years or be terminated from his six figure job. He’s still angry! Rightly so...
After the soft lockdown lifted in Florida, My wife and I travelled to St Augustine. Lovely city and we opted to do a tram tour. It wasn't a single tram but had multiple carriages linked together like a train. We sat at the rear of the last carriage. No one else in our one. It wasn't long before the tram came to a screeching halt.
"You two in the last car, put on your masks".
"Er, why?"
"It's the rules".
"But we are driving outside down roads".
"If you don't put on your masks, you will need to exit the vehicle.".
I regret that we caved to this nonsense, but it was hot & a walk back to our car seemed worse than complying with the nonsense.
And although Florida was (and I can't believe I'm saying this), a beacon of sanity compared to most of the world. Was there anything as stupid as closing the beaches?
I went to a performance once things here opened up a bit--in summer of 2022. No more mask mandates etc, but about 20% of people were still wearing them. There were three presenters, who came out to speak about the show before curtain (as an aside, this is a trend I don't like--just let the audience take what they take from the show, stop trying to "manage expectations"). Anyway, two of the presenters were maskless, one wore a mask. When it was the masked one's turn to speak, she fumbled with her notes, mumbled, and then, took off her mask and laid it on the floor. Spoke her piece then picked up the mask and put it back on, wore it the rest of the evening. I guess Kovid doesn't touch stage floors.
My mother and I were shopping in a supermarket in the Avon, CO area. My mother is in her 70s and had a bad back injury at the time. She was wearing a brace and wanted to quickly get a couple of items we needed, because she was in pain. As we shopped, a young man came up to us and started reprimanding us that we were going the wrong way in the aisle and told us to "follow the arrows." He stood and waited for us to turn around. My mother and I ignored him and continued shopping. But he would not leave us alone. He came much closer to me (not social distancing at all) with the expectance that he would intimidate us to turn around and follow the "arrows" I finally said "do you work here?" and he said "no." I said, "thanks for letting us know." And then I turned around and we kept shopping in the same direction we had been. He stared at me in anger and then went off in a huff. Maybe these idiots were paid to cajole people to "submit" to the rules? Some misguided effort to transform adult life in the USA into a sort of elementary school run by mediocrities...
Thank you as always, Cindy!! Take care out there - especially in CA and my home state MA - especially for those of us who did not drink the koolaid and are so relieved we did not. I sometimes think my 'brain fog' of this is really just raging and angry disbelief that this simply can't be happening, can it? Fortunately I can read your postings!! Thank you.
Conservative here. Thank you for exposing the biggest fraud/crime in modern history. Fauci should be in prison. Hundreds of others - Big Pharm execs - with him.
I've also lost people over the Scamdemic. I like that term. I also got thrown out of stores (including organic stores) for not wearing a mask and I was thrown out as I was reading the managerrs my medical mask exemption. I managed to secure one of those before the doctors stopped writing exemptions. The vax Nazis threw Nuremberg and the ADA out the window during the Scamdemic. What shocked me the most was the fear that other criminal defense attorneys had of their own clients. Crriminal defense organizsations (such as the CACJ,) insisted on masking and verified jabs for seiminar attendees and even threw out paid attendees who couldn't provide proof of both vaxxes and boosters. The CACJ also approved of refusal to evacuate the unvaxxed in an emergency ( which was potentialy tantamount to a death sentence). Then there were those who called leftists who opposed the jab right--wing racists. Most Blacks and Latinos didn't get the jab but, according to the narrative, they were right-wing racists. And there are still people who are lost in the brainwashing---even after so much evidence has come out that it was all a lie. The worst part was the coldness with maskers and vax junkies cutting off, violently hating orr even threatening to kill people who were not about to take the poison. They didn't care if people already had cardiac issues and would be put in extreme danger of dying from the jab. And especially worse were the people who left their parents and grandparents in nursing homes alone to die. My dog trainer said he would have gone into the nursing home with tear gas to get his mom out if they had done that to her and it used to be that everyone would stand up for and protect families, rather than leaving them to die.
Not a specific experience, just a general sense of pattern...
In May 2020 when the 'guidelines' started to appear, but before the ballgags were absolutely required, two types of people were self-gagging. First the 'medicalized' people, who spend a lot of time going to clinics and such, and already had the insignia of medicaldom like unnecessary canes or medical-type shoes. Second to start were the young goth types, the rebels who expressed their hatred for Trump by wearing Trump's own gags. And then the whole world was REQUIRED TO TORTURE for two full years.
As the total mandates started to fade (unannounced of course) the process reversed. First the normal people gave up the muzzles as soon as the police orders were gone. Then the goth types continued with their black Trump-brand Trump-hating symbols.. They finally gave up in May of this year when the Federal "emergency" was lifted. Now it's back to only the medicalized folks, who are mostly so obese that they probably can't tell the difference between breathing and strangling.
It's remarkable how the Covid Regime (or Religion) really brought out the True Believer in so many people, and gave them this license to be vicious towards their non-co-religionists. I managed to avoid disagreeable interactions with friends and co-workers over "The Thing," but also got several pieces published at Dissident Voice on the subject during the "scamdemic," so my skepticisms were/are a matter of public record, in case anyone I knew was interested. I was working at a Wine Bar and the "vaccine"--or "partial immunity jab"--fortunately never became an issue like it was for so many. Although not a Republican in the least, I give then-Missouri AG and now Senator Eric Schmitt a lot of credit for leading the political charge against mandates, lockdowns, and masks. America didn't go full-blown totalitarian over Covid, but we certainly got more than a few views of what that would look like..

"real life Goldstein"
very good analogy!
thanks

Yes, absolutely ridiculous!
Harming ones health to solely virtue signal how obedient to corrupt authority they are.

OMG--what a wanker, sorry.
My sentiments exactly 😉
What a story... I'll vote for the candidate who campaigns in a Hazmat suit due to the toxic political climate.
lol

Yes, the jab stories are horrific.
I have 2 kids who had to get jabbed, or lose their jobs---jab or job.
So far, they are okay.
I am VERY, VERY angry and probably will never not be.
I'm sorry for what you have suffered but thank you for your honesty. Unfortunately, many of the injured are still in denial.
A dear friend passed this morning from a heart attack. She was 44 years old. Another vax statistic? 1 in 35 women now have myocardial infarction.
we recently had a young man we know in his mid-40s die "suddenly" in his sleep.
My son Casey and he were in the same Scout Troop.
Very sad!
I’m so sad to hear this, Cindy.
Our government is legally euthanizing us thanks to Gates, Fauci, Trump and Biden.
(((HUGS DW)))
I’m in shock, thanks.
Are you the Kathy from Facebook? This is Deana Williams.
Me and a kajillion other Kathys on FB. :o)
But I am not your Kathy from FB ;^)
It's a pleasure to meet you here, Deana!
Haha. Nice to meet you. Kathy I’m referring to was a huge supporter of all things good on Cindy’s FB and we miss her.
Jeez!!
Just remembered a funny one.

If I were attacked for not wearing one, I always carried one of those fake masks with a lot of holes in it and I'd put that on.
It was easier than being put on tiktok by a lot of shitlibs for having common sense, if you know what I mean.
Like this one? 😉

yeah, th e sadistic kindergarten teacher aspect of it was big here too.

Hi. I am coming home for a visit.
Oh.
Can you pick me up at Logan as usual?
Silence
Hello?
You said you didn't get the vaccine
Right but I will wear a mask and get a test if you want.
But you'd be sitting in the car
Your car is an SUV. I can sit in the back if you want
But you didn't get the vaccine. I can't risk it.
I'll wear a bag over my head and cut out holes for the eyes. Is that good enough?
I'm sorry
Silence.....
(I am thinking WOW....Good to know I can count on family in times of crisis.)
I'm sorry. I can't risk it. Where are you going to stay.
Long Silence.
I have to go.
2023:
Dinner conversation with same person...and BF.....
eyes roll as I tell them "the vaccine was a bioweapon. I have the protocol from the Frontline doctors"
Smirks. Chuckles. Silence.
No thanks. That's okay.....Who wants more turkey?
Deadly silence.
I have to congratulate the psychopaths who knew exactly what they were doing even IF it began as an accident. Although I am pretty sure it did not.
