Liberty is established and retained through rugged individualism. Knowing I was not alone in questioning the spirit of the authoritarians helped me to endure the relentless pressure to capitulate and bow to the whims of elitists. I understand a little better now those who risked their lives for the cause of freedom.
It is definitely a test of the individual. Perhaps common to us here is a stubbornness in saying "no." As you mention the historical perspective, I can only imagine the challenges those had in the past when they couldn't connect the way we could online. I hope we continue to use the tools we have that they didn't, to help us succeed.
Indeed, the online forums and substacks have been a great help-- at the beginning of this fiasco many of us were left almost completely marooned among the Kool-Aid drinkers. At the same time, I think it is vital now to build new relationships in the real world. That takes time and patience and a lot of persistence. And a lot of saying no to Zoom meetings, and actually showing up in person. Easier said than done.
BTW I really like the new article on your substack "Can Pfizer Synthetic mRNA fragments enter your DNA?". Important topic. I have to study it more in depth. Glad to see you went over the Domazet-Lošo article as I think that one was really overlooked. Dr. Nagase was commenting on a recent paper on the topic, may be of interest if it contains other leads for you: https://danielnagase.substack.com/p/genetic-engineering-with-dr-nagase
Wow-just wow. Thanks for the last bit-we may not never meet but we are in this together. Never at any moment did I buy any of the hysteria. But I was made to feel crazy and like some uncaring selfish person because I wouldn’t sacrifice my freedom to protect-who exactly? Thank you!!!
My pleasure, Jo. I know it's still not a perfect situation as we're still in a world gripped by this madness. And I think people are still concealing their true frustrations with what's going on, worried about professional or social consequences if they speak in any way openly about the different issues. This can exacerbate the isolation. But I hope more cracks continue to form. I think they will with time.
Both of our daughters got the shots (even after I told them to at least wait until they were forced to do so) and also boosted. Last week, I suggested to them that they not get any more boosters... because of potential cancer and auto-immune problems... and without looking at them, I could hear their eyes roll when I said that. What more can one do? All I can do is all I can do, and that's all I can do. Dang it.
It's hard to see people we care about take on these shots. I hope no more boosters for them and definitely no bird flu mRNA concoctions should those ever arrive. Hopefully the public awareness will have been sufficiently changed by the time of the next global event...
Thanks for this writing and for your observations. I would think that many people had experience of each of these points you mentioned. Your writing clarifies and explains those experiences. I particularly appreciated these sentences: ‘You are keeping the truth alive. You embody basic principles that should be the right of all humanity. It’s not a principle in a textbook that no one can see. It’s a principle in you’. That surely gives value and meaning to the difficulties endured by those who resisted the tyranny in support of higher ideals.
John- This to me is the standout sentence in the entire piece: “Some people would rather see their own children die than admit that they were wrong.” Great observation. Thanks for sharing it.
Excellent post, thank you for this.
Thanks TranscriberB!

Getting to the core of the problem, well done!

Thanks Dr. Pain.
We always have to get to the root of things.

Yup, they just kept using emotional blackmail to demand we experiment on ourselves.
Thank you for this. Much appreciate the confirmation/support. It's still a lonely world out there...

Thanks Gertey!
As bad as things were, I do think we were able to find some meaning to help us going forward.
I sure hope we did... because this crazy ride might just be getting started!
I read aloud from Point Number 8 to the end of the article to a gathering of about 20-30 people. At the end they burst into applause!
However, ‘…this crazy ride might just be getting started!’ Oh, no!! Unfortunately, there is much to suggest this is true! God help us!
Wonderful to hear, GR. I'm glad it resonated. And that you have a good group there.
