Stopping the Spread

Guest Post by Eric Peters

How do we cure Sickness Psychosis?

We don’t. But each of us can act individually- and that becomes a compounding and cumulative thing of eventually great power, in the manner of rain drops becoming rivulets becoming creeks and streams, then mighty torrents.

As an individual, I refuse to play Sickness Kabuki. I have never once worn a Face Diaper and have ignored all the “lockdown” decrees issued by the Gesundheitsfuhrer of my state.

This is all I can do.

By myself, it’s not much. One person out of a supermarket-full of the Faceless presents the spectacle of a curious heretic to the Faithful, who remain secure in their Faith – in the manner of everyone at a Hare Krishna gathering wearing the same saffron robes. The robe-wearers appear to be the “normal” ones, as far as they can see.

But if even a third of the rest of the people in my area or yours refuse to wear the Holy Vestment of the Sickness Cult then it would not appear normal. Those wearing the Holy Vestment would look like the small group of Krishnas you used to see at airports – i.e., obvious weirdos to be avoided. 

Which would discourage people from joining up.   

The “lockdowns” and Sickness Kabuki – including the locking up of elderly people – would end within a week. 

If even a third – perhaps it would only take a fourth – of small businesses had defied the Gesundheitsfuhrer orders that they shutter their businesses the only businesses that would now be out of business would be those that freely chose to close their doors – and that would be on them, economic suicide being as much their right as personal hari-kari.

But they would not have enabled the economic murder of the businesses that wanted to live.

Conformity is the killer. It is the thing which tyranny requires before it becomes inescapable.

We – as individuals – could be free right now if enough of us, as individuals, refuse to play along.

It would be impossible to compel a third of the population to wear the Holy Rag – especially if a third of all businesses refuse to enforce the wearing of it.

The Sickness Polizei would be overwhelmed even if willing – and the tragic fact is that many Polizei are unwilling. Many (here, here and here and that’s just a few of them) have openly stated that they won’t enforce religious rituals.

Put more plainly, they have stated – as recently as last week – they are the allies of the average citizen, whom many Polizei do not regard as criminal (and so within their lawful remit) for declining to perform a religious ritual or for wanting to keep the doors of their lawful businesses open to those who wish to walk through those doors.

It is still not too late to act, though it will be harder now because  this “new normal” has been allowed to congeal.

It takes more gumption now to show one’s face among the faceless – who are in many areas almost everyone – though it is not even remotely in the same class as wading through the surf – in the face of machine-gun fire – on the beaches of Normandy. All it takes is the willingness to not do what almost everyone else is doing.

As children, most of us were taught by our parents to resist peer pressure – to do the right thing, not the same thing just because that’s what everyone else was doing.

 

As an individual, you can show your face. As an individual, you can refuse to efface your face. You are more powerful than a sign on the door and it is within your power to about face and walk out the door if the business insists you play Kabuki as a condition of being allowed to walk within.

In California the other day, an individual climbed atop a display table at a Costco store and – with a bullhorn – took off the Holy Rag and urged other individuals to do the same.

“You must not do this,” he said. Because “If you continue (to do this) this is the life you will have. . .  we have got to stand up for ourselves because the governor is going to keep us locked down until we do something about it… and I want to know, are you going to let this happen?”

That is how you and I stop the spread.

Another individual – on the other side of the country – has refused to hari-kari his gym, which is his business and a place where no one is forced to work out. Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Ballmawr, NJ has steadfastly kept his doors open despite the decree of Gesundheitsfuhrer that he close them. He also refuses to require the wearing of the Holy Rag, reasoning that people who wish to wear the rag are free to not enter his gym.

Smith is Churchillian in his defiance.

We have had our business license stripped. We have had our doors locked and barricaded. We have been arrested and have over 60 citations . . .Today, we will pass 84,000 visits to our facility. We don’t mandate masks. We never will. Gov. Murphy will see this video and fine us $15,000. But free men don’t ask permission or for forgiveness.”

Of many such individual actions are mighty rivers made.

Each time I am in a regular grocery store I see that no one else is unmasked. Not one! But no one confronts me either. At the health food grocery the employees will threaten you with eviction, as does Costco now. I’m thinking that whereas I take supplements, consume organic food, grass-fed/wild-caught animal meat, raw milk, and avoid grains, sugar, preservatives, etc, most folks eat the crap for sale in all these stores and are on the verge of ill health if not sick already, so knowing this they don’t want to take any chances. It’s not all about conforming, though of course that always looms large with the ruck.

I constantly send out to friends and family factual material concerning the hoax, yet no more than a couple yield to facts however plain and incontrovertible they may be. Ivor Cummins’s videos lay it all out, but fear makes cowards of us all. Humans cannot endure by ignoring facts for fear of having to face rejection, injury, and/or death.

Bigfoot,
I follow the exact same regimen as you and have been for almost 15 years and I’m 68, play ice hockey twice a week as a goalie and feel like I’m 50.
It always comes down to discipline, independent thinking and self control. Sadly the majority possess little or none of these qualities much to the detriment of their lives.
Been calling BS on this scam since March. The fear I see that people have of this flu with a recovery rate of 99.97 per cent under the age of 70 is mind boggling and pathetic.
So sad.

Standing in the 100-person long line at the store last week, it was only me without a mask. A ~14 year-old girl was looking at me funny, and I noticed she had her cell phone out, pointed at me, most likely taking a picture to report me to the “authorities”. Condition them to accept edicts as early as you can. Early childhood education.

Looking at those damned statistics above; let’s instead lock everyone OUT of their households since a majority are getting the dreaded CoVid-19(84) there. Makes sense to Auntie, no?

Fast forward a few months, and masks-wearing will be replace by vaccines. Healthcare workers will be demoralized by people who don’t want the vaccine, people that don’t want the vaccine will be demoralized by those that demand they take it, etc. What’s next?

We have reached the point that discussing it further, either among ourselves or with the Mask Addled, will not reap productive outcomes of any sort. The part of the movie where we discuss things rationally is on the cutting room floor. It was not to be considered a key plot point. The dynamic was always going to be about creating an environment where only the daring will be willing to stick their head up. And then picking off the daring one by one.

What resistance does now is equivalent to the scene in the old western movies where the good guys are being beaten back, there is fear in the air and you see the ranks beginning to break. It looks like it’s over…but just then, the absurdly young looking company bugler picks up his horn and lets out a blast, then sees the ranks are holding. He picks up the company pennant and wades into the bastards, followed by the now supercharged warriors who a minute ago looked like they had all the fighting spirit of Tony Dow.

WE. ARE. THAT. BUGLER.

We’re going to choose to sound the alarm, to raise the flag, to charge when common sense says to run. We’re going to let the accumulated rage at two generations of cultural destruction fuel it. We understand the moment for mercy and reconciliation is behind us, because that is where our adversaries buried it. It time for steel now.

Do what you can, where you can, as you can. Be courageous, knowing you are stepping into the footprints of those who fought at Concord. Make peace with your God or with your conscience, as you are led. We’ll come back with our shield or on it. Can any human endeavor at this moment of history being of any greater consequence?

Right u are. As HL Mencken so eloquently put it; “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
That time is soon upon us. Those who want to Live their lives as they see fit, live and let live, are up against those who won’t. Them or us.
Do not back down, resist, and if they persist, then we must defend ourselves. It’s our God given right.

I have taken a new direction. When I’m in stores I smile so the other people can see my maskless face. I talk to everyone I can. I am as kind and helpful as I can be. People seem genuinely suprised. They begin to interact. Some take off their masks. They stop and talk instead of rushing off to hide and avoid people. I treat it like a PR campaign for a politician. All smiles and joy. Pure BS but it has the intended effect. Nobody has asked me to leave or put on a mask yet.

I like the masks ! I hope we are ALLOWED to continue wearing them once the fighting starts.
