A Letter to the Warden of the Prison for the Elderly

Guest Post by Eric Peters

My 84-year-old mother has been imprisoned for the past nine months. Not even family is allowed to visit – a cruelty not visited on death-row inmates. My mother didn’t kill anyone or even hold up a 7-11.

Her crime?

Dementia. She is imprisoned on account of this in a “care” facility which operates under the Gesundheitsbefiehls – health decrees – of Governor Ralph “Coonman” Northam. He has decreed that visitors are verboten, no matter the extenuating circumstances – including even no possibility of transmitting the ‘Rona to the imprisoned elderly person.

My mom has “tested positive,” according to the warden of the facility.

Therefore, there is no longer the excuse that I might transmit the ‘Rona (asymptomatically, of course) to my mother, since she already has it.

And I am quite willing to assume the “risk” of acquiring the ‘Rona from her since it presents almost no serious threat to me, as I am not elderly or diabetic or afflicted with clogged arteries, the underlying co-morbidities that account for almost all (more than 90 percent) of the deaths we keep hearing about and which tend to result in death regardless of catching cold.

There is no medical reason for denying me a chance to actually see my mother in person – and for her to see me – ideally, while she still remembers who I am (for her sake) and before she passes away (for mine).

We could be placed in a Corona Room, just the two of us. No harm could possibly come from this.

But they won’t let us.

Because facts don’t matter.

Cruelty does.

It is an extrapolation of the Diaper Decrees and restrictions imposed on the healthy who refuse to wear the Holy Rag, who aren’t sick and therefore can’t get anyone sick. But who are treated with contempt – and worse – for declining to play-pretend they are sick.

But this is worse. My mom is sick – and because she is elderly, there is a very good chance she will die. There may not be much time left for me to see her.

Alive, that is.

But I am not allowed to see her, despite the ‘Rona “precautions” having become an irrelevance. The horse has left the barn, in spite of all their “precautions” – which is itself a commentary on the pointlessness of all these “precautions.” My mom has been imprisoned (along with other old folks) for the past nine months in a practically hermetically sealed environment, where everything is – so we are told – constantly wiped down and where everyone wears the Holy Rag and where every staffer is “tested” regularly – und so weiter.

And yet, the ‘Rona is rampant. I am informed by the warden that half a dozen other inmates have “tested positive” along with my mom.

So what’s the point – if it isn’t sadism?

Why this cruel isolation of rapidly deteriorating elderly people and the equally cruel isolation of their family members from the declining elderly? How did the Coonman become the arbiter of who is allowed to see their own mother or father?

How is it that they can maintain this vicious farce when their excuse – protecting the vulnerable elderly – no longer applies?

I have written to the warden asking precisely this question and offering to sign any form they wish to present  absolving them of all liability in the event my mom gives me the ‘Rona. I’d even agree to staying put at home for the two week “incubation” period after visiting her, to assure the nervous I didn’t get the ‘Rona and so pose no risk to anyone else.

It cuts no ice.

Because this is not about “health.” It never was.

If it were, reasonable accommodations would be made – and reason itself would govern the whole business. People would not be presumed sick, especially absent any symptoms of sickness.

If “masks” worked, they would have.

This is my mom six years ago,before she got locked up.

Instead, people are bullied for objecting to being treated as spreaders of a sickness they haven’t got and for objecting to the wearing of “masks” that don’t work.

Elderly people in the twilight of their days are denied the opportunity to visit with their children and grandchildren, whom they are much more likely to never see again than their children and grandkids are likely to get sick, much less die, of the ‘Rona.

Reason – humanity – aren’t applicable.

A false humanity is used to impose its opposite, by people whose cruelty is equalled only by their arrogance.

I will probably never see my mom again. And for that I will never forgive the Coonman or his accomplices. It is my hope that when they are in their dotage and hoping to see their families one last time, that a bureaucrat tells their families no – and that they, too, depart this world alone, without the comfort of anyone holding their hands and telling them they are loved – just as they have imposed the same cruelty on thousands of families across this country.

May God damn them all.

If serious general violence breaks out in this country, not the Antifa festivities happening now, Northam better have a well fortified bunker to hide in.

Not that I would ever, ever advocate violence against our fine elected representatives.

One aspect of narcopaths (narcissistic sociopaths) that is important to remember is that they live in their own little world in which their desires and bizarre dysfunctions are normalized. They believe themselves superior to most people because they are predatory, and don’t suffer from annoying hang-ups like empathy and conscience. They generally tend to believe they have pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes the majority of the time. They think that you are a submissive idiot, and that when they bark an order, you will simply jump to attention because you “believe”
This sums up the authoritarian nature of those placed in charge of their fellow humans – no empathy , compassion or any of the qualities espoused and embraced in the bible and preached by Jesus Christ.

“So Samuel passed on the Lord’s warning to the people who were asking him for a king. “This is how a king will reign over you,” Samuel said. “The king will draft your sons and assign them to his chariots and his charioteers, making them run before his chariots. Some will be generals and captains in his army, some will be forced to plow in his fields and harvest his crops, and some will make his weapons and chariot equipment. The king will take your daughters from you and force them to cook and bake and make perfumes for him.

He will take a tenth of your grain and your grape harvest and distribute it among his officers and attendants.

He will demand a tenth of your flocks, and you will be his slaves. When that day comes, you will beg for relief from this king you are demanding, but then the Lord will not help you.””
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭8:10-13, 15, 17-18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I have used that passage from Samuel many times to prove that God is anti-government. That clap trap from the Romans is just that. God told the Hebrews that as long as they placed their faith and trust in him, that he would protect them.

Government is the province of Satan as was clearly shown in the temptations of Christ. Where upon Satan displayed all the kingdoms of the world at a moment in time. Satan then told Christ all this would be his domain if he would bow down and follow him. Now we know that Christ didn’t not give in to this temptation. However, the funny thing about Satan’s offering comes to this, you can’t give what you don’t own. Now Satan might have been lying as we all know he is the father of lies and will say anything (sorta like the cops are want to do) to get you to give in. Still, it bears thinking about Satan and the origins of the governments of men.

Where I am these homes are all advertising for new residents. Apparently so many of their lodgers have died that they have alot of room (used to be there were waiting lists). I guess most people have at least figured out, jeepers, if I go there no one will ever see me again!

Have you ever seen the Far Side cartoon: Large sign over the entrance of a building that says “Sausage Factory-Free Tours” and a line of people waiting at the door marked “Entrance”? There is also a door marked “Exit”. Two guys sitting on a nearby bench feeding pigeons. One says to the other: “Ever notice how no one ever comes out of the exit door?”

These demonic government “leaders” (tyrants) have too much innocent blood – the elderly and the unborn – on their hands to ever rescind their contracts with The Devil.

It sounds like the author has a choice to make:
1. sue the nursing home for whatever a lawyer can get his teeth into, perhaps force an inspection as part of the discovery process (“She tells me she has bed sores, and sleeps in filth”)

2. get his mother out of this institution and possible the state.

griping about it on a blog is not really part of the solution, unless he is updating us on progress.

My folks are both 80+ closer to 90, and they have both completely changed their minds in regards to assisted care or other types of institutional care. They even have some long term health insurance to be used to pay for going into a home, and will no longer even consider it, because of the kind of stories we hear today about how bad they treat the elderly.

The only choice now is to stay in your own home, and pay for someone to come into your home and do assistance.

OK, so I hope you all understand what this is,
The .gov is not concerned about your health, it is planning on killing you, using the tools of the state:

example A:
An experimental vaccine, that normally takes 10 years to develop, is not a cure for anything,
it is a path to your eventual demise.

There is no logic in this, there will never be. Can you visit her outside, so no other residents are “exposed”?

Maybe the residents can all vote as to whether they want visitors, just like they all voted for Biden.

This one issue is probably the single biggest crime in this whole plandemic. Thousands of elderly people are being starved of human affection “for their own good”. What is good for them is to see family to hug others and to interact with people.

My Mother-in-law had dementia and was in a home. I will never forget how she and all the other residents would brighten up when my daughter would bring her two young toddlers to visit. Every person on that floor paid attention to those little boys and they brought great pleasure to those folks just by being there, laughing and talking.

I hope there is a special place in hell for these bureucrats for the great harm done to these folks who are forced to die alone, surrounded by other despondent people.

In New York, since the start of this, over 12,000 nursing home residents have died with Covid (6,000 in the nursing homes, 6,000 taken to hospitals) out of about 100,000 total, none infected by relatives, but by the supposedly safe staffs. It is possible that 40% of all the Covid deaths are nursing home residents, which is the greatest sin of this government response.

One of the greatest tragedies in this entire travesty is the subject of this article. It is truly disgusting how horribly thoughtlessly helpless elderly people are being treated. It sickens me.

Psalm 86:13 KJB… “For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.”

A “lowest” hell implies that hell indeed has “levels” of some sort. God knows exactly where every occupant belongs. The offenders will receive exactly what they deserve if they fail to see the gift God offers all of us.

Continuing my thought above: is it not far better to pray that they see the error of their ways that something might be done for the victims while they yet live? Imprecatory prayer has its place in scripture, but not today; not while Gods grace abounds in the world. That was my point.

Imprecatory prayer has its place in scripture, but not today

Is that necessarily so? Is it not appropriate to pray that God take away the heart of stone of those who hate Him and give them a heart of flesh, but if not, then cloak them in confusion and cause them to destroy themselves and those who are like-minded?

Gods will today is that all men be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:3-4). To be in Gods will is to pray for what He wills. Strong delusion and wrath will come eventually, and when it does it’s gonna be a whole lotta bad. At that future time, for Gods people to pray imprecations upon His enemies will be appropriate.

God, for now, through the death, burial and resurrection of His Son, has reconciled Himself to this evil world to give us one last chance at reconciling ourselves back to Him. Thus, our marching orders…

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 KJB… “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

Same in PA. Wife’s aunt has Parkinson’s but was doing OK on her own in a supervised apartment. She fell just as Corona scam was just getting started. Hospital released her to nursing home to get her back to health in a few weeks.

Then Big Rachel turned Corona loose in Nursing homes (old people gulag) after 1st getting his mother out.

Now they won’t release her aunt. She’s been in since last spring. Visits are through a glass window. She found out her son died via cellphone call while looking out her window to the parking lot. They never had a funeral because Tiny Tom won’t allow it and aunt can’t go. Just threw the casket in the ground and buried him.

She’s a prisoner and there isn’t a damn thing anyone can do about it.

I know a lady whose mother was in the nursing home, had cancer, dementia, diabetes, bedsores, then got an irregular heartbeat. The nursing home was going to have a pacemaker put in her. The daughter told them no. The fight was on. She told the nursing home if they touch her she’d sue them into the ground. She meant it. They changed their mind. THAT is how you deal with them.

A similar situation happened to my father in law, who passed away this summer, in California. He was elderly, ill and cared for at his home. He didn’t die from Rona, his death was a result of severe dehydration resulting from the denial of hospital emergency room medical treatment. They did however tell his care giver they could “provide” him some morphine. Upon his death, no funeral or any other type of service allowed. The family had to resort to a zoom “funeral” from separate locations. Inflicting horrendous torture of this kind has become the progeny of Josef Mengele types in our so called government. So sorry for the pain felt by Eric Peters and family.

Bribe one of the workers to get in. Dress in the scrubs or whatever the fuck they wear, and waltz into the place like you own it, and go see your Mom. Or, just march in the front door with murder in your eyes, and fucking go see your Mom. They’ll kick you out, and call the cops, yeah, but big fuckin’ deal. Man up and see to your Mom.

This is what happens when you don’t have your exit plan in place. Very likely the author was not able to have any serious conversation with the relative PRIOR to her getting ill. Not his fault necessarily, many elders simply refuse to admit they are going to die. You fall into two camps, those that “will not go gentle into that good night”, and those who didn’t plan ahead.
