Haggling over the Price

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Two years ago – and ever since then – I have refused to efface my face. Not for anyone. Not to get anything.

Not ever.

Not once.

I refused, because I understood then that submitting to this would lead to that – i.e., to the Jabs (now plural, a thing also inevitable once the Jab – singular – is accepted). For how do you say no when you have already said yes?

It is why the “masks” were mandated. They were always just a means to another end. The people behind this don’t care about “public health.” They care about enserfing the public and perhaps something far worse than that. By now this should be obvious. But some didn’t see it, at first – and wore the “mask.” Now comes the rest.

There is an old story/joke about this that’s more like a bit of wisdom, conveyed in a humorous way but which purveys a serious point.

Winston Churchill – maybe it was W.C. Fields –  supposedly offered a woman a large sum of money if she would agree to sleep with him. She agreed. He then offered a much smaller sum in return for the same favors. She drew herself up indignantly and guffed out, “what kind of woman do you think I am”?

Winston/W.C. replied: “We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.”

Just so.

If you agreed to wear the “mask” over your face you already agreed to pay the price – of being Jabbed. Not just the once and not just for this. For how can you refuse the next Jab – it is now going to be four jabs – they insist you must have, having accepted the first Jab?

Which you are now being pressured to take because you gave in to the “mask.”

Having worn it, you gave up any principled ground to object to it – and to what follows. You agree that there is such a danger afoot that everyone must be presumed a “spreader” of sickness, no matter how actually healthy – and treated accordingly.

Now comes the next treatment. Which you’re already agreed to take. After all, you agreed it was necessary to wear a “mask” – and to stay home and then six feet apart. If those acts of kabuki are justified then how do you justify not rolling up your sleeve?

You gave in.

They found your price – being allowed to enter a store, being allowed to come to work, being allowed to send your kid to school – and you paid it.

And now we’re all paying the price.

It is well – and very good – that lots of people are refusing the Jab(s) even if costs them their jobs. It is just a shame – it is tragic – that it took this long for them to summon the will to resist.

Because of what that is going to cost.

Probably because they could not see what failing to do so would cost. Many thought it was “just” a “mask” and no big deal. A temporary indignity-stupidity, like having to spread your legs at the airport and allow a government cretin to touch what no one else is supposed to touch – unless the one touched wants it touched, usually in the bedroom.

But – sigh – we do what we have to do. I want to fly to Disneyland. And – after all – you can take the stupid “mask” off once you get your groceries or get off the airplane.

How do you get the Jab(s) off – or rather, out?

Expedience – and cowardice got us where we are. Courage – even if summoned belatedly – will get us out.

Never put on a “mask” again. Not to shop – not for work. It is time to end this farce.

Under no circumstances submit to being Jabbed (unless you wish to be to Jabbed; it should never be forbidden to sell yourself out, if that’s the price you want to pay). Stand firm and forthrightly state that – no, I will not abide this.

As you should have stood firm when they demanded you “mask.”

It may well cost you a job, which is no small price to pay. But it will not have cost you your health, which is priceless – or your self-respect, arguably even more so.

Just say no.

Even if you didn’t the last time.

Disagree. You’ve got to pick and choose your battles or you’re going to be flanked. I’m way too old to be jousting at windmills 24/7/365. This is a game I’ll play until I can’t. As an aside I saw that Barrett and Kavanaugh left Trad Americans holding a bag of …. But fact is I’ve known since November that ROL is dead in America. What it comes down to is I have just 2 things left. My firearms and my cojones. And I’m not givin’ up either.

You don’t pick and choose battles when it comes to getting the genetic serum. One shot and you’re done. You might be able to fudge mask wearing, but not the jab.

I haven’t flown since 2004, because I’m boycotting the TSA. I only wear a mask (a fake one which allows air through) when I have to take my 91 yr old MiL into a medical facility. If she’s able to handle things herself, I wait outside in the car. She knows how I feel about this travesty, and respects it. But she herself has always been an agreeable person and doesn’t seek out conflict, bless her heart. She trusts her son and me, and is grateful that we keep her informed.

I’m in SC and my old college roommate lives outside of Atlanta. She wears a mask “out of consideration” because she wants others to “feel safe.” I’ve argued with her about the danger of acquiescence. She’s even been vaccinated. A year ago she was quoting medical journals to me, and tsked at me when I told her they aren’t trustworthy. And this is an otherwise intelligent conservative. She doesn’t have much time to do her own research about this stuff, and it’s maddening.

Haven’t been on a plane since they invented the TSA. Never will again. Passed on my annual eye exam because they required a mask. I have invented a couple ways to get into medical facilities and make them happy and me still breathing. (Masks, the little blue ones with the folds can easily be slit from side to side). Don’t yawn or someone might notice. You can also eat lunch with it like this. Amaze people in restaurants. Cheap entertainment.

I wear a mask when I am told I must like on a plane. Otherwise, in places where it is required to comply with bureaucratic edicts, I don’t until I am told to do so, usually by a woman, to whom I reply YES, MA’AM in the tone of FJB and put it on…and then let it slip down.
I did get both jabs of the Pfizer vaccine and still got Chinese Virus after I was fully vaccinated. I will not get another jab.
I Fauci or the CDC said wearing a beanie with a propeller on top, how many people would do that?

Stu,

We regret to inform you, starting from the date of your first jab, now have anywhere from about three to a maximum of ten years of life left here on Earth.

But perhaps even less time before your demise, as these pesky depopulation lethal injections really vary, based on your individual health status.

Please make your necessary arrangements accordingly.

We appreciate all your hard work and efforts and look forward to enjoying the fruits of your labors!!!

Thanks for playing!!
And saving us enormous amounts of shekels on unpaid Medicare, social secharity, and a wide variety of other benefits (((we))) won’t have to pay out.
Whew, dodged that bullet!!!

Sincerely,
very respectfully,
(((TPTB)))

William Claude Dunkenfield was his real name. As he traveled the country in Vaudeville shows, he would open bank accounts in many of the little towns. He did this under many names, only discovered after his death. Just a little trivia………..Maybe I’ll try his line, next time I negotiate prices with the ‘ladies’ at the local brothel………..

Thanks for sending me down the internet hole. I’ve been watching WC Fields videos on youtube for over an hour. Hard to believe those movies are almost 100 years old!

I’ve had to wear a mask three times since this whole thing started. Each time they handed me one of the cheap surgical masks. I put the thing on backwards and upside down with my nose hanging out of it. I didn’t get any pushback for this at all, probably because most people already realize it’s a farce. There have been dozens of times when I just walked right past the mask signs and didn’t have anyone question my maskless face, even at my doctor’s office once. Then again, we don’t fly or attend large events and have only travelled within the states of ID, MT, WY, UT, NM and AZ in the last two years.

Admin is brittle but within that narrow field essentially right. Admin shows no flex, be like water, not like ice. I respect the request of the business. They are under duress, not me. To mask is only compassion for those under duress, nothing else. I am water, I flow where I will, no one or thing can forever stop me, I seek MY OWN level.

“To mask is only compassion for those under duress, nothing else.”

To enable someone’s servitude doesn’t seem compassionate. To mask is to submit to something that is illogical, unreasonable and irrational. How you justify it is your business, but don’t assume that those who don’t have no compassion- quite the opposite.

I stopped wearing a mask in stores the day they announced the vax pass for indoor dining in my county. Enough.

Turns out, the State-wide mask mandate in my state comes with a built-in work-around like “..but if you have any medical or mental condition preventing you from wearing a mask, then you don’t have to wear it”. So it is perfectly legal to not wear it. However, it is also perfectly legal for private businesses to require that you wear one without any exemptions – some businesses and many corps have chosen to have their own mask mandates. Hence, if I am ever denied entry into any business (which hasn’t happened yet), we’ll have to have a little conversation on what specific mandate that business is enforcing, because the state mandate does come with exemptions which anyone can claim if only they wanted to. Unfortunately, about 99.9% of people in my area are still obediently wearing masks.

Planning on making a mask with leftover fiberglass window screen material. Dumb fuckers forgot to provide a mask specification along with their mask mandate.

Some colored folks walking around with masks on chins always on the chin, older white couples grocery shop wearing them. Stores now reccomend but not require. Employees are required however. I look them in the eye and laugh right at them.

I used to wear the mask at the bank or the grocery store and the doctors. To make other people happy. Now it’s just down to the doctor’s office. Otherwise, I can shop and go out to eat where I live with no problem and no mask. I always figured the mask was BS. I won’t get the jab and tell others many reasons to avoid the rushed poison for a bad flu season. My friend has a store with a sign that it’s a mask-free zone. He has refused masked customers and told them to leave. (tourists) I think rural America is a lot like this far away from fearful people in big cities.

I feel sorry for regular people who still wear a mask. They are mentally ill. I feel anger and disrespect and distrust for doctors, dentists, etc. who still require a mask, or here a lot, they and their staff wear them but don’t require patients. .
Their excuses are the same (if they know better, if they don’t they’re too stupid to visit): makes my patients feel better, my association or office etc. requires them and I must or lose my job. How horrible that would be if I can’t help people.
*edited to add if they are injecting I think they are evil. How can I visit them? A win for the evil freaks, I know.
Most of these doctors rely on a true rule believer enforcer receptionist/nurse to enforce this stupidity. They are cowards. They don’t realize they are going to lose it all by complying and already have by about 30% of people.
Time to start making a fuss at places with mask rules. Here a business can’t require employees to wear masks (except health places) or get injected, however how interesting in some ALL employees are wearing them. Complain politely every time. I’ve been lax in doing this but will start in again.

I’m posting this on my Facebook page (I KNOW Facebook is evil), and WW2 history is messed up) hat tip to cliff high. Might print it out to hand to doctors etc.

Hot summer day in Texas. No mask mandates here.
I am very thirsty. Getting a bottle of water at a gas station. Clerk tells me no mask no service.
I try to reason with him. His is adamant that he will not ring up my purchase. I drop a dollar on the floor and walk out with my water.
“Hey! You can’t do that!”
