How We Know It’s a Show

Guest Post by Eric Peters

I recently got into a “debate” with a Sickness Cultist, who berated me for my heresy. I tried reason with him, which works as well as mixing oil and water.

One thing I tried to specifically get an answer to is a question that ought to be of interest to anyone interested in a reasonable discussion of this business.

It is simply this:

If it is necessary to wear “masks” – as they’re styled – why are there no standards, beyond the thing being a “mask”?

Why isn’t there a requirement that the “mask” be at least an N95 and ideally an N100 respirator that actually can thwart the exhalation of those extremely tiny viral particles? Why is it that a literal rag – an old bandana, for instance that’s so porous one can see daylight passing through it – qualifies as a “mask” and grants entry to stores and such when it absolutely cannot thwart the transmission of viral particles?

Also the disposable “mask” that almost everyone who wears one of these wretched symbols of submission wears? It says – it explicitly warns – right on the box that these things do not prevent the transmission of COVID-19 (all caps, now) or – implicitly – any other virus, the material being too porous to serve that purpose?

“This mask is not a medical device . . .or personal protective equipment offering protection from COVID-19 or any other airborne particles. This product is not intended as a replacement for medical grade personal protective equipment or other recommended measures to stop the community spread of COVID-19… ”     

And yet, they qualify. Technically, a literal Diaper over one’s face qualifies.

Come on in!

It makes no sense – it is dangerous . . . if you’re really worried about getting sick. If this is serious – in terms of “the virus” –  then no one should be allowed within a public area without an N95 or better device covering their faces. Something that actually works.

Unless the “mask” is for show. Unless it is theater – as Pope Fauci XVII actually admitted some months ago.

In which case, it all makes sense.

The “mask” is to show that you give in – or that you believe. It is not about stopping the spread of anything – unless you count disbelief.

And that is what cannot be tolerated.

These people walking around with their “masks” on are literally like people who wear tinfoil hats – with the difference being that the latter are still snickered at, the wearers regarded as being in need of psychiatric help – while the former are lauded as Responsible Citizens who are Doing Their Part.

In fact, all they’re doing is showing how little they care about their health – and how much they want to believe.

How easy it is to terrify and control them, just by saying boo!

The less-than-N95 “masks” are the equivalent of a pocket full of posies – remember the rhyme? – but because they have been told by Anderson Cooper that they “work” they wear them.

Religiously.

You’d think they’d be interested to know whether they work. Would at least consider the answer when someone asks them how come there is no standard requiring that they work – but permitting literally anything to qualify, so long as it covers your face.

But they aren’t.

Because they believe. Put your hands against the television set! Heeeaaaaa-uhl!

They grow militant when someone asks this question – when someone demands to know how it is that a piece of Holy Cloth does anything other than cover the wearer’s face. They  grow even more militant when the follow-up query as to why it is so important that people cover their faces – even if the covering doesn’t do anything other than cover the wearer’s face? – is asked.

The answer one gets is the Corona equivalent of the mentally ill autistic girl whose face corkscrews into a paroxysm of fury and spits outs How Dare You! when someone questions the theology of the Climate Change Cult.

The adult Greta I debated – or rather, tried to – refused to answer either question. Instead, I was accused of being “inane” and “childish.”

It reminded me of the answer I sometimes received as a child when I posed a question that an adult couldn’t answer:

Because I said so.

That’s not good enough.

If you can’t answer the question, then maybe you ought to re-think what this “mask” business is really all about and why your life as well as the lives of others isn’t worth more than the cost of a dirty old bandana.

Wally-world & sam’s clubs have started to announce over their radios that “non-compliants” have entered the store. Didn’t hillery & friends call us “deplorables”. Shop there if you must but, remember who they are and avoid them when ever possible.

I don’t see why anyone should shop there if they must (most people do for no reason but convenience), but what is this about ‘non-compliants’? Could you give more of an explanation?

ANY grocery story with SOME semblance of variety requires a mask. I might find some small grocery story on the outskirts of town that MIGHT let me in without a mask (still doubtful), but I wouldn’t be able to buy the food I need.

Studies on the effectiveness of face masks

So far, most studies found little to no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth face masks in the general population, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control.
1. A May 2020 meta-study on pandemic influenza published by the US CDC found that face masks had no effect, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control.
2. A July 2020 review by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medince found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth masks against virus infection or transmission.
3. A Covid-19 cross-country study by the University of East Anglia came to the conclusion that a mask requirement was of no benefit and could even increase the risk of infection.
4. An April 2020 review by two US professors in respiratory and infectious disease from the University of Illinois concluded that face masks have no effect in everyday life, neither as self-protection nor to protect third parties (so-called source control).
5. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine from May 2020 came to the conclusion that cloth face masks offer little to no protection in everyday life.
6. A July 2020 study by Japanese researchers found that cloth masks “offer zero protection against coronavirus” due to their large pore size and generally poor fit.
7. A 2015 study in the British Medical Journal BMJ Open found that cloth masks were penetrated by 97% of particles and may increase infection risk by retaining moisture or repeated use.

Just like MASKS, the PCR covid test is worthless and is largely responsible for this insane pandemic scare.
WAKE UP! Quit wearing masks and tell them to shove their unnecessary vaccines up their ASS!!

Covid-19 Testing Scandal Deepens

My brother-in-law was a member of the mask cult until Dec. 10th when his dear n95 mask that he wore as a guard in a lock up managed to give him a gift. Pneumonia in both lungs and 10 days in a hospital. While he was there, they kept testing him for covid but without any luck.

So what? He did his part to keep the count of corona cases down. Nothing else really matters, right?

Yesterday, like I do everyday, I was walking my dog through our nearby nature park. Actually, I wasn’t walking my dog, I was letting him run free, which is against the rules. With that being said, I try to be courteous to others when I pass them by putting him on a leash for a moment when I’m in the vicinity of people who prefer cats to dogs.

With that background, as I’m walking alone down the trail a member of the opposing tribe who looks to be in his 20s comes up behind me unexpectedly and tells me my dog is suppose to be on a lease. I tell him I don’t believe in that rule when no one is around. And that started a confrontation.

He then harangues me for not wearing a mask and letting my dog shit in the woods. I reply that opinions of assholes are of no concern to me. That pisses him off and he runs at me as if he is going to hit me in some soy-boy fashion. As he gets inches from my face I tell him that if he does it I will own everything he ever has. That ratchets up the discussion to another level.

He then proceeds to take my picture with his phone and follow me down the path as he calls the local police. As he is talking loudly to the police I can tell his accusations of severe crimes in the nature park are not going over well with the dispatcher. He has to keep repeating himself: “there is an older gentlemen in the park letting his dog run loose and letting him shit in the woods and the man is not wearing a mask”. (Masks in my state are never required outdoors). He continues with the dispatcher: I want the police here to arrest this man; this nonsense has to stop. He also says I am being aggressive toward him and he feels threatened because I told him I would take everything he ever owned is he laid a hand on me.

With his cries for help to the police unheeded, he stopped following me and I continued on my walk with my dog in a more peaceful fashion.

This is the second time in a month I’ve had a run-in with a member of the opposing tribe that got to the point of them calling the police. As Eric noted, these people are nothing but little authoritarians who demand everyone behave as their tribe dictates. The only way to deal with the people is to call bullshit on them every time. Never try to reason with them, just say fuck-off and go on your way. If they want to start a war, it will be a short one.

A couple of barking (“Was ist los” command) Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, or German Shepherds and the statement “My dogs really hate you — you are advised to leave immediately.” would have stopped the little commie instantly plus he would have shit his pants. Or the imbecile could have been a snack.

“How does he smell?”

At this point in our contentious times, I would also recommend some kind of concealed firearm. Because you just don’t know nowadays.

I have never worn a diaper, and have never been bothered. Until yesterday. Got kicked out of Grand Home Furnishings in Roanoke. Don’t shop there.

Articles of Confederation

Call them out, make them famous. Little by little, death by a thousand cuts is the way we win and they lose.

Somebody needs to make a list of the Maskerade companies so that we can avoid them. It also seems like it’s a county by county thing. I’ve never been asked to put on a Face Diaper other than at my optometrist’s and that was easy to get out of.

AOC, which counties do you suggest people go shopping in? Actually, I am not located near you so it doesn’t matter. I’ll start looking around my area to see if there are less restrictive counties and do ALL of my shopping and dining there.

My county in W TN does not require masks and I like to support the small Mom & Pop grocery. Kroger and Walmart have corporate rules and still require them in all stores. If I travel to the next county where Memphrica is located, they have mask mandates, 25% capacity rules, etc. It is not worth the hassle.

TN- Who in their right mind would travel to Memphrica for anything.? I quit going there in the early 90’s. Have you noticed rural peeps don’t give two shits about mask compliance?

I go into the city once a month to replenish at Costco. i try to get my business done and out of the county before 11:00 am while the natives are still sleeping from the night before.

Yes, except for the white flyers who have started to take over the county as they leave the urban neighborhoods for whiter areas of the state. It is just like all the Californicators who have ruined CO & NV and are trying to ruin TX.

And Oklahoma.

We hoped our rep as true red-necks would keep them away. No such luck. But, they aren’t bold enough to call the police over masks. Our gov has made it clear that he doesn’t “see” any way to enforce it. Which means in red-neck speak, that he won’t enforce it.

I love our lazy governor.

WV: “Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators, whichshould continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and some first responders who are at much greater risk.”

Take your pick.

Stand your ground.

As a health precaution masks are useless. As a societal control they are priceless. They are proof that the left is successful in gaining control over us via the social networking and their propaganda media.

Fauci is the modern equivalent of Hitler. He babbles and changes his mind but has complete allegiance of his followers and the forced allegiance of the masses.

In the past we relied on people to manage their exposure and the exposure of their loved ones by precautions and avoiding people who are sick. I spent time at a physical rehab situated in a nursing home during the last flu epidemic in 2015-2016. They used common sense precautions to limit the exposure of the elderly and infirm there and while a couple of residents did get the flu, for the most part the epidemic passed without causing too much of a problem. This is how an intelligent people deal with such things.

The one thing the left wants is to not have intelligent people in society any more. Intelligent people ask questions that they prefer they not answer. Intelligent people see through facades and lies. Intelligent people do not wish to be ruled. They seek freedom. That is a pesky hindrance to total rule.

I always try to shop in the smaller stores here in Upstate New York. The ones I frequent are family-run and they have signs on their doors that say, in effect, Please wear a mask because we cannot afford the fines imposed by the state government. I wear one out of respect for them, not because I believe for a minute that I am protecting anyone. But, like everyone else up here, as soon as I cross the threshold on the way out, that mask is in my pocket. We laugh at the morons who wear them outside or alone in their cars.

So our local covid reporting platform on facebook shows zero hospitalizations and zero deaths on its facebook page. Most commenters are very concerned about the current 100 cases and the almost 550 cases since this started.

I commented “zero hospitalizations and zero deaths! We got this thing beat” and got banned and a facebook warning.
At the store i am now the only no masker and even family questions “you dont wear a mask”? We have more tourists through here this year than you would normally have because forbes listed us as a covid free destination. Yet still no deaths. If people dont see it now they never will. I cant see the people who just want to be left alone rising up if they wont even drop their masks. I had really hoped to die peacefully in my sleep. Wish in one hand. Shit in the other. See which fills up faster.

FYI, N95 masks cannot stop a virus. The cov2 is about 100nm or smaller the best an N95 can do is stop about 300nm.

About half the people in my local stores wear a mask. I will wear one just over my mouth to try and keep the sheep from making scared noises while I shop. I end up having my own kids look at me like I’m nuts and I in turn tell them to knock off the sheeple crap. It’s all conditioning for being trainable.
If you go to a more liberal city with a university, the people all wear masks. They have already been indoctrinated.
