Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.
Santa Cruz California Issues Mask Mandate for Private Residences
Now that another COVID variant has emerged with a scary new name, governments are excited to flex their dictatorial COVID powers once again.
Santa Cruz County, California is back with an indoor mask mandate, but this time with a twist.
The public health order states that in addition to public places like restaurants and gyms:
“Masks must be worn in private settings, including your home, when non-household members are present.”
And yes, this applies to the fully vaccinated.
It’s hard to imagine that this order is legal or how local authorities will be able to enforce the rule.
The sheer insanity is that these bureaucrats think they have this kind of power to begin with.

Disney Deletes an Episode of The Simpsons to Appease China
Disney’s streaming platform has removed access to an episode of The Simpsons from viewers in Hong Kong.
In the episode from 2005, the Simpsons family travels to China and visits Tienanmen Square. There, a monument and placard reads: “On this site, in 1989, NOTHING HAPPENED.”
The joke is making fun of China’s censorship of the Tienanmen Square Massacre, in which Chinese authorities killed hundreds or possibly thousands of civilians protesting in support of democracy.
While any mention of the Tienanmen Square Massacre is forbidden in mainland China, the Chinese government has only recently began to impose the same censorship on Hong Kong.
But this censorship appears to be entirely voluntary on the part of Disney.
Apparently the money Disney can make from appeasing China is more important than human rights.

Ontario Teachers Union Weights Votes Based on Race
A teachers union in the Canadian province of Ontario has implemented a new voting policy.
One branch of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation voted 68% in favor of giving its “Indigenous, Black and racialized” leaders more representation when voting on union policy.
The weighted voting applies to when the board of local presidents meets, each member representing one school from the area. The votes of racial minority members will be weighted to represent at least 50% of total votes.
For example, if 15 school representatives are white and 5 identify as “racialized” then each of the racialized representatives’ will be given 3x as many votes in order to even the balance between whites and non-whites.
Union members who complained that this is “reverse racism” were later told in emails by union leadership that the term was “harmful and discriminatory.”

Minority Professor Denied Grants Because He Said He Would Hire on Merit
Originally from India, Patanjali Kambhampati is an award winning scientist and chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal.
Although he is himself a racial minority, he has now been denied two research grants from the government of Canada because “the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion considerations in the application were deemed insufficient.”
The problem, Kambhampati says, was that when the applications asked who he would hire as research assistants, he answered, “We will hire the most qualified people based upon their skills and mutual interests.”
Merit based hiring was NOT the answer that the woke bureaucrats issuing government grants wanted to hear.
For example, a recent research project that WAS funded by the Canadian government will study cancer risk factors as “symptoms of colonialism.”
Now that’s speaking the social justice warriors’ language!
Kambhampati said:
“I actually get called a racist constantly by white university students… if you are a minority who thinks that the racism of the woke left is overstated they say you have internalized racism.”

Elizabeth Warren Takes Aim at “Big Poultry”
Wondering why your turkey was more expensive this Thanksgiving?
According to Senator Elizabeth Warren, it has nothing to do with inflation caused by massive money printing to fund enormous government deficits.
The culprit is corporate greed.
A few days before Thanksgiving, the Senator Tweeted:
“Americans are paying record high prices for their Thanksgiving turkey while big poultry companies are paying billions in dividends, giving CEOs raises & earning huge profits. These companies are abusing their market power. I’m asking DOJ to investigate.”
She continued in another Tweet the next day:
“Wondering why your Thanksgiving groceries cost more this year? It’s because greedy corporations are charging Americans extra just to keep their stock prices high. This is outrageous.”
Desperate politicians who have caused inflation want to blame anything but their own failed policies.

San Francisco Police Do Nothing as They Watch a Robbery Unfold
When a legal marijuana dispensary was broken into (for the sixth or seventh time) in the pre-dawn hours, a neighbor called police.
And the police actually arrived on the scene in time to catch the thieves in the act.
One patrol car shines its spotlight on the getaway vehicle as two thieves rush to put the loot in the car, and spill bottles filled with marijuana all over the sidewalk.
Then police do absolutely nothing for over forty seconds. Then a third burglar comes out of the store, loot in hand, and makes his way to the car.
The suspect clumsily throws the stolen goods into the passenger’s side, then walks all the way around the car and gets into the driver’s seat. He does a three point turn, in front of the three police patrol cars that are now on the scene.
The car slowly drives away, without the police pursuing.
Then the police are seen on the surveillance video lazily strolling into the dispensary to investigate the crime they just witnessed.

Only Fully Vaxxed Can Die By Assisted Suicide in Germany
The German Euthanasia Association has declared that from now on, they will only serve patients who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Those patients , of course, are seeking assisted suicide.
Which means that in Germany, you are not even allowed to kill yourself without being vaccinated.

Welcome to the Gulag of California, and the New World Order.
Here is a wide and deep counter offense…by a woman I greatly admire:
Nice vid, mark. I like her practical style. Especially like her comments on empathy and humanity.
So, what are you supposed to do with your money right now? Take it out of the bank and put it under the mattress?
Abigail,
She is one of the smartest people on the planet. Go on to: http://www.usawatchdog.com if you want to see more of her past Christian based, thoughtful, defiant, and direct brilliance in interviews.
Everyone’s situation is unique as far as real money as opposed to soon to be worthless digital fiat currency.
I believe the dollar (and all international fiat) is doomed (besides hyperinflation & the dollar loosing Reserve Currency status)…the banks will sweep in with a Bail-In…Take your dollars, and give you stock back at maybe half the value…think Cyprus as that was their test run…and they got away with it.
They will also limit your withdrawals.
Here is where to be as far as risk and the inverted pyramid when the inevitable next international monetary system is formed out of the rubble of the current one that is under a controlled demolition by the FED and all the banksters. The Petro Dollar is dead…Russia has taken our place…it’s all part of the Luciferian Globalist/banksters (the head of the snake) plan to destroy the U.S. The Petro Dollar is just waiting to be embalmed, and the replacement takes over.
Have some POWER MONEY
But, before I would put all my ‘fiat currency’ into the above (we are only in the last 3 and 95% in the last two). The majority is long in a farm/two houses/prep and other hard assets. I would get all the bases covered: home, debt paid off, water, food, security, medical, etc. etc. etc.
Thanks, mark. I will study this. I have the bases covered. I got incredibly fortunate when I had to sell my home in CO…got significantly more than ask price on first day of listing (from a CA buyer), and moved to a state with a lower cost of living and reduced my lifestyle. But, I only have one house; we need TWO???
Abigail,
Good for you! That is always an outstanding $$$$ move.
We have owned six houses (rented three and an apartment) in six states. I loved moving around when I was young (it’s hard to hit a moving target.) Settled in NC in 93 at 43. We have put in deep roots.
My wife is from West Texas…I’m from Jersey…Civil War 2…this time the South seems to be winning again…I need a Gettysburg.
2nd House: We bought the land our farm is on (14 acres) and it had a 13 year old double wide on the road front…completely remodeled it, added on a big sunroom and a deck…then spent 9 years building the farm by hand and contractor (instead of buying it). We built the dream home in the back behind a second gate in 2020. The house is really a fort…secret rooms…basement/root celler tucked in deep woods..11 cameras so far…five more to go…I call it the markamo. Need to get me a coonskin cap.
We rent the doublewide in the front to an 80 something couple/parents of a friend…quiet, dependable renters, putting a lot into the place in improvements …but both are double jabbed and dedicated CNN watching brainwashed booster material…will be looking for new renters soon.
(Taps playing in the background).
Sounds like an awesome set-up. My dad is a custom home builder who specializes in homes like your dream home…with safe rooms, secret rooms and all. They’re pretty cool. I cannot afford one yet…maybe someday.
You will certainly be ready when SHTF.
Yes she is awesome and has an amazing story. She was an insider with a connection to the Global elite, Rothchilds. She found out after years that big company she worked for was actually controlled by the Rothchilds. Most people in her shoes are not living.
I have always suspected she is supernaturally protected.
God does look out for his own.
1. Pick a side at 6:35. Slavery or Freedom.
2. Procure a good map of reality versus the official reality. E.g., Alternative and new media versus MSM propaganda including your favorite station. Look into the truth behind the conspiracy and realize how thoroughly tracked and mapped most of the world has become.
Surveillance system has made leaders of a 190 countries vulnerable to being compromised/corrupted discussed at 11 minutes.
3. Practical options for being independent of centralized systems. Food, water, energy, health and community; your family are the people who will not turn you in
We have to build resiliency in our communities and realign our personal habits and and financial interests.
4. Decentralize the money system. We are currently financing the enemy, which is the banking system and their investment overlords and clients.
Things you have to grapple with when dealing with money:
The quality of governments, commitment to rule of law and culture, which she goes on to define.
We also need both a physical and digital system, to keep each other (physical/digital) honest.
5. Thus abideth Faith, Hope and Charity and the greatest is, of course, Charity or Agape Love. She encourages a reformation of the money system in a human way, a spiritual way and in a way that will ensure the greatest freedom for the most people.
Just before her closing, she makes a really profound, to me, comment, which I both quote here and provide a link toward, if you are interested in her closing, which is a two-minute summary of how she came to be giving this 20-minute lecture.
“…the power of intention and science has shown us that intention can change material reality in many instances…”
Ghost…can you do this for all videos posted here?? I usually don’t have time to watch them all. 😉
I thought her closing remark was powerful as well. I have proven that to myself when I was deep into Law of Attraction.
I will try to do it for the ones worth my time to watch them. LOL. Not all of them.
I like you but not THAT much.
This is excellent. I don’t think many videos are worth the time, but this is.
The people have to stand tall and be counted if we expect this tyranny to stop.
So, you will stand, I will stand, but we will both stand alone.
As a Santa Cruz resident, I can assure you the insanity doesn’t stop with Gail Newell the county Health director. It’s pervasive across all governments. A recent City council meeting accepted a city generated proposal to meet AMBAC (a regional association of Monterey Bay cities) distribution of spending money on public assistance “projects” so called “affordable” housing, essentially a set of housing goals for each city. It’s quite complicated, and some of the methodologies for allocation make some sense (like putting projects near mass transit), but it’s got real Leftist trash socio-economic infill crap-o-la (mix the rich and poor housing), but here’s the real rear entry pumper …. they are including methodologies for this mixing and allocation/physical distribution of public monies based on racial statistics… you guessed it… just WHITE PEOPLE statistics. It’s related to California SB35 that says I think if cities don’t do this, they can’t stop developers from doing it (as if many would). Essentially cities have had their sovereignty removed by the state of California, but the exactly HOW they implement this state plan to remove “inequities” is up to the cities. Our city, Santa Cruz, plan goes further than AMBAC even (which goes further than SB35), and way too much to write about here.
Here’s a summary check page 17, and note the concept of
Defining Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs) for the AMBAG Region
https://ecm.cityofsantacruz.com/OnBaseAgendaOnline/Documents/ViewDocument/AMBAG%20BOARD%20OF%20DIRECTORS%2011.10.21%20RHNA%20MEMO.PDF.pdf?meetingId=1805&documentType=Agenda&itemId=19250&publishId=25551&isSection=false
It’s subtle, but straight out of the asshole of Leftists. I used to know who carried the hammer and sickle in Santa Cruz politics, but it’s so pervasive….
Civil War at some point is inevitable.
We are getting real close to “Don’t tread on me ” time.
OTC- How would the mask Nazis KNOW if you were masked inside your own home? These articles crack me up.
Which pixel is watching you? This is not paranoia. Not to mention your phone, any automation device such as alexis etc..
They don’t need to know. Nazi’s rule by intimidation, and of course there is an option of reporting your neighbor for $.
Nest security cam. Smart TV. Smart Phone. Alexa. Smart dishwasher. OR a stack through the front door at 3:30 a.m. complete with flashbangs and a dead golden retriever because your neighbor, Karen, peers through her blinds at your house 30 times a day suspecting you of being “one of those people” and she swatted you.
Out of the realm of possibility, you say?
Sect. 6. But though this be a state of liberty, yet it is not a state of licence: though man in that state have an uncontroulable liberty to dispose of his person or possessions, yet he has not liberty to destroy himself, or so much as any creature in his possession, but where some nobler use than its bare preservation calls for it. The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions: for men being all the workmanship of one omnipotent, and infinitely wise maker; all the servants of one sovereign master, sent into the world by his order, and about his business; they are his property, whose workmanship they are, made to last during his, not one another’s pleasure: and being furnished with like faculties, sharing all in one community of nature, there cannot be supposed any such subordination among us, that may authorize us to destroy one another, as if we were made for one another’s uses, as the inferior ranks of creatures are for our’s. Every one, as he is bound to preserve himself, and not to quit his station wilfully, so by the like reason, when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.
I triple dog dare you to come in my house to check.
I have quadruple dogs…
Oregon Health Officials Propose Making Indoor Masks Permanent
Two words, FUCK OFF.
Living in a relatively free state, I sometimes marvel at what people will let their local governments do. I am a contrarian as seldom pay attention to the rules. Got kicked out of the post office this week for not masking up. I guess the clerk thought she had the only delivery service available or more than likely was just using the power of her position as a federal employee to force the rules on the ole white guy.
Most women in those Liberal Hell Holes should be forced to wear masks FOREVER…they are a bunch of ugly bitches .
