Guest Post by Eric Peters
A friend in Georgia called to let me know a junior high school student who attends the same school as her 13-year-old son tried to kill herself the other day. She was found hanging from a cord she’d wound over the shower head in her parents’ home. She was despondent over being denied her life – and so decided to take it.
The good news is she was discovered in time and is still alive.
The bad news is there are many such “cases” – including the premature deaths-by-neglect of elderly people who haven’t got the ‘Rona but lost the will to live – and stopped eating or just faded away from depressive ennui resulting from being “locked down” in nursing homes for the past six-plus-months, by decree of the Gesundheitsfuhrers.
Mammals need the warmth and companionship of other mammals. Take that away – “lock them down”- and you sentence them to a slow but certain death, beginning with their spirit and ending with the mortification of their bodies.
This is not a minor inconvenience, a temporary and necessary sacrifice. It is an outrageous, criminal assault on the physical and psychological well-being of hundreds of millions of people (in this country alone) in the name of a fatuous hyper-precautionary Sickness Cult that regards a slight risk of a bad cold to most as finger-wagging justification – and you’d better not object to any of it.
It has worked – so far – because most people are kind and generous and no one wants to be accused of harming other people, let alone actually harming them. But it begins to wear thin, as the enjoining and finger-wagging waxes even as the evidence mounts that the damage being done is sickeningly disproportionate to the threat asserted.
Questioning is beginning.
It is reasonable to alert people who come to eat at a restaurant that certain dishes may contain peanuts so that those who have allergies to peanuts can avoid those dishes. It is ridiculous to insist that all restaurants establish Peanut Free Zones for the sake of those with peanut allergies.
It is tyrannical to decree it.
My gym has been open for the past four months and almost no one wears the Holy Rag as the gym is a secular joint; people come there to exercise, not perform religious rituals. Notwithstanding this heresy, no one is sick. Probably in no small measure because they are exercising – and breathing freely – both tending to improve one’s health.
But gyms around the country are “locked down” – denying more people than the number of people who’ve allegedly died of the ‘Rona (as opposed to with it, but actually because of old age compounded by poor health) access to the means by which to maintain and improve their physical as well as psychological health.
Being able to go out – and go within. To see your friends – and see their faces. To deny this to people is inhuman. To deny it to them in the name of what, for 99.8 percent of them, amounts to nothing more than than the slight threat of a bad cold is something worse.
Particularly as regards children such as the one who almost took her life, mentioned earlier.
It is established fact – the “science” – that 13-year-olds like the girl who is the schoolmate of my friend’s son – are at less risk of dying from ‘Rona than they are of being killed in a car accident. Yet on the putative basis of an hysterically exaggerated “risk,” they are being abused in a manner that would have earned those responsible a felony conviction as recently as this same time last year.
Forced to stay at home. Forced to wear a muzzle – the sort of thing formerly applied to dangerous animals and for that reason just as degrading but without the justification. Denied their friends. Denied their outlets, such as team sports and just “hanging out” freestyle.
Fear the Bogeyman! Don’t Question! Wear a Mask!
It is child abuse – or would have been so described, this time last year.
This wears on kids, especially (see here) for whom six months might as well be six years as their time-sense is different than that of adults. If it seems as if this will never end to us – adults – imagine how it feels to a 13-year-old. Also, we have next year. They only get one shot at 7th grade.
Or their senior prom.
It is not hard to understand why kids feel their lives are over before they’ve even gotten started.
Just as it is easy to understand why many elderly people, imprisoned in “homes” and denied contact with their families (phone calls don’t suffice) despair of living.
And just give up.
How did it happen that such control over our lives came to pass? It came in a blizzard storm of orchestrated terror, a manufactured emergency that has been maintained not with “science” and the free consent that an actual emergency would voluntarily engender – but by decrees that rely on threats.
Issued by people who exempt themselves.
Life is becoming the equivalent of owning a car you’re not allowed to drive; of having a spouse you may not touch. A life you may not live. It is killing us.
And kids, too.

The Evil Fucker’s “Operation Global Mindfuck” constitutes, in fact, war crimes against Humanity and as such the perpetrators need to see justice.
I can feel the rebellion growing, in participants and intensity, also it is becoming clear more COVID authoritarianism is on deck, not less. At some point these trends will combust.
Birx quit.
I wonder where she is going to hide.
Before the year started my daughter decided that cyberschool would be a better option than government school with ever changing edicts from Little Wolfie and Big Rachel. She is an honor student and athlete. With things being what they are sports are her only real opportunity to socialize with a flock of teenage girls.
Fall sports were wonderful and she made new friends during the season. In winter she plays basketball. They were practicing and then shut down. Started again but now are to wear a face diaper at all times. When she found out she came to me in tears and we discussed it.
At the end I told her that many kids her own age wouldn’t make it through this. I asked if she was OK, she is. I explained that she has faith, family, and friends to help get through this insanity. The kids that don’t have those are the ones that probably won’t see spring.
The season is again shut down until January but they are almost certain Little Wolfie and Big Rachel are going to cancel it. The girls decided to have a massive sleepover with the whole team present. If one has it, they will all get it, and hopefully be cleared and ready to go if the season happens rather than fear getting it and spread it to the team.
They had their own “Covid Party”
Good for them! God bless and good luck (and Merry Christmas too!) to all of you up there! This fear nonsense has to be stopped one family at a time until critical mass is reached and the backlash explosion detonates! Enogh is enough!
The 10 yr old son of a man who works with my son was not as lucky. He was discovered way too late.
More teenagers will die from bee stings than Covid. I propose anti-bee sting garments and hoods be mandatory for all people below the age of 25. “Trust the science”, ya know!
Thank God that young girl survived.
BASTARDS, I hope the day comes when they will recieve their just desserts.
Make the self righteous old fuddies who we are shutting down the nation for wear them too…
Dinner blessing tonight, objected to my wife blessing our leaders. She knows that we have been sacrificed to the altar of the swamp. She agreed with me!
My 70 year old uncle reached out today via text to offer his best wishes to me and my family for a Merry Christmas. We have had several intermittent, but yet intense discussions about the shit show we are headed for over the last 5 years or so.
Traded a few texts and then he did the old man thing (which I prefer cause I’m an old man too at 54) and picked up the phone and called me. We traded our common viewpoints and then he told me about his interaction in a grocery store a day or so ago.
He was in the store sans mask, doing his shopping, picking up his goods. He noticed that he was inadvertently blocking the aisle while picking something up … so he moved out of the way and apologized to the ‘man’ for being in his way. The dude M-F’d him about not wearing a mask … My uncle told him to f*ck-off, challenged his manhood and offered him the opportunity to take it outside to settle the matter.
Love the fact that my uncle stood up to this shit.
Yup, you question me about putting on a dirty face diaper and my little snubby 38 shows its face. fuckers. Fuck them all.
Threaten with a gun? Yeah, well…
As I approach 70, my first response to someone lecturing me is a firm “fuck you.” Then I get in their face for some intimate discussion if they didn’t understand my initial FU. I find this approach very effective since most Progressives seem to shy away from a healthy debate.
A healthy sneeze or a cough scatters ’em like cockroaches when the light switch gets flipped on.
I’m a bit older than your uncle, but live in a place in which the likelihood of some masked dweeb saying such to me would not end well. Aside from legal penalties for attacking an over-70, I won’t wait to go outside; the verbal aggresor goes face-plant on the checkout counter. Braggadocio? Oh yeah, but that’s how I’d play it.
89 year old gramma got the covid as soon as she entered the nursing home, where they proceeded to then lose her glasses and clothes, and due to covid, no one can bring her anything. Thanx cuomo.
My despondent chiropractor took his own life. He closed on the purchase of his home and subsequently destroyed business, in march. He ended his life in october.
Everybody knows a shower head is not sturdy enough for hanging.
