I wrote this short article while in Cape May two years ago, a few weeks after Biden was selected president by the election riggers. It surprisingly went viral, as the masking bullshit struck a nerve.
Yesterday we took advantage of another beautiful Fall day in Cape May. We decided to check out the Cape May Lighthouse State Park. It is at the very end of Cape May. It is an example of what the government can do right – Preserve a natural habitat without glitz or commercialization. It is just miles of wetlands and walking trails. The lighthouse, built in 1859 by the U.S. Army is still functioning today. Two previous lighthouses succumbed to the sea. It is a majestic structure, reaching 157 feet into the sky.
On the beach, not far from the lighthouse, is Battery 223. It is a crumbling concrete structure from World War II which was designed to protect against invasion by German forces. The structure was built with six-foot thick reinforced concrete walls and a thick blast proof roof; the entire building was covered with earth. The 6-inch guns had a nine-mile range. It is an interesting relic from our past. The dilapidated condition struck me as symbolic of our crumbling empire.
Once you walked into the nature preserve, a feeling of calm and peacefulness overwhelms you. Swans and ducks glide across the salt water ponds enjoying a feast of minnows. It’s nature at its most pristine. Just quiet and beauty.
The walking trails wind throughout the nature preserve. They are well maintained and pristine. No trash. No beer bottles strewn about. Visitors are respectful of this place. A feeling of calm engulfs you as you venture along the trails.
But, alas, I couldn’t write a post without acknowledging the human reality I witnessed walking along these trails on a stunningly beautiful sunny 58 degree day in late November. The four of us were unmasked, because masks don’t work and certainly aren’t necessary outside while walking.
As we were driving to the park, I noticed a few bike riders on the side of the road wearing masks while biking. I thought to myself – WTF. That is completely idiotic. Then we began walking along the miles of trails. The park was moderately busy, but you passed someone every few minutes. Sadly, I would estimate that 80% of the people we passed on the trails were masked and fearful of us unmasked hooligans. I can only imagine their thoughts as they wondered why we were risking their lives by being so careless.
I was disgusted by the lack of critical thought exhibited by these people. I might have understood if it was only people over 70 years old wearing the masks, but most of these people were young. They have virtually a zero risk of dying from this flu. They have virtually a zero risk of catching it on a walking trail at a State park. But, they obediently and silently do as they are told by their overlords.
I am saddened by how easily the totalitarians have been able to use fear, propaganda, lies and misinformation to turn the vast majority of Americans into compliant sheep. It is so clear to me that this engineered flu panic is nothing more than another chapter in the scheme to enslave global populations under the thumb of global elitist billionaires who want to control us and enrich themselves. V’s speech to the citizens of London captures the essence of what is happening and will happen unless the masses come to their senses.
“Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told…if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War. Terror. Disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler. He promised you order. He promised you peace. And all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.” – V speech to London – V for Vendetta
These thoughts did not ruin my day, but they are constantly bubbling below the surface as I observe the downward spiral of this country. Hopefully, the Cape May Lighthouse beacon will represent the shining light of truth that will help us avert a historical shipwreck of epic proportions.

It seems that these many months into this manufactured pandemic that people are getting worse, instead of better. Meaning, the level of mask wearing, as you saw and described, is growing instead of diminishing. Like you, I’m disgusted by how stupid the 1st level thinkers are. Their numbers are higher than I had imagined. Not one iota of common sense at play here. Not one bit of critical thinking.
just remember every time we see someone thoughtlessly complying, that the narrative they run must be pushed further every day, as people become numb or inured to their own fear. it continues until the limit (different for every person) of absurdity is reached, and the scales fall all at once from their eyes.
be gentle with our normie but soon to be future compatriots. the times are all about polarization; no one will be left in the middle, on the fence.
there is a confrontation coming, and God is on the side of freedom. we will win.
Amen, Brothah Bryan! Gather the undecided and the lost to the beacon of truth, for the time will come to rally…
I follow our tyrannical governor Newsom on twitter just to harrass and troll him. I can’t believe the number of sheeple who demand stricter lockdowns and mandates. Makes me sick that there are soooo many terrified people out there. They don’t do any independent research, just regurgitate MSM fear and talking points. Very disheartening!
And think about all of the other stupid horseshit they believe.
Are humans as a species K or r Selection based? Is our survival strategy built around fewer but higher quality offspring or do we hope that low-quality offspring in mass quantities will make it? E.g. Salmon lay lots of eggs, die, and hope for the best. A grizzly bear has one or two cubs and nurtures them for two years. Humans tend to show both strategies, with smart well-educated folks heavily investing in supporting the kids to achieve “success” while other humans (think welfare queens) pump out the offspring, provide minimal care and I guess they hope for the best (but we know better).
The problem is that our rulers take advantage of and promote the low-quality strategy constantly, a welfare queen is dependent on more handouts and much less of a threat than a sharp thoughtful independent person focused on quality (think HSF, etc.).
We have reached the tipping point I think where the quantity morons will soon have put in the worst sort of leaders and there is nowhere for us quality folks to go.
Administrator made a thoughtful decision evaluating for himself and his family the relative risk of walking maskless in the lighthouse park. The low-quality Karens do what they are told without thinking. Makes all the difference in a society when millions of decisions are made under diametrically opposed strategies.
I will not live under tyrants put in power by morons!
That was an excellent comment, had known the same for a long time but never really thought it out like you put it. Well done
Theoretical science has recently imagined that there are over 100 genders, just as they imagined the big bang theory is a fact,and the heliocentric theory, and the religion of evolution,
ALL rock solid “theoretical FACTS.”
Accidental apes, living on the theoretical spec of dust, traveling around the sun, should obey their theoretical experts, and leave the thinking up to them, because you live in their theoretic universe.
I have family who live in CA…They report that even their lefty friends despise Newsom at this point, with the video of a surfer, all alone, being arrested for surfing without a mask, being well known…Newsom is going to need plenty of vote fraud to get reelected…
Or plenty of signers on the recall referendum to get tossed on the garbage heap. I was once a resident of that failed state (for 45 years) and signed the recall for the Gray One. We got the Terminator for our efforts. Careful what you vote for!
I used to live there too & also voted the recall & all we got was a Son of a NAZI, Egotistical, Leftwing Douchebag. I Left Crapipornia, Commiefornia, Mexifornia, Chinafornia, Indiafornia: The Toilet State 11 years ago & I Don’t care if the place Burns, Earthquakes, Implodes or Worse. Good Riddance.
As I recall his big deal was to “audit the state” but after he won we never heard about that again and his tenure was a big waste. Turns out Gray Davis wasn’t so bad.
But Newsom’s recall is something I’m looking forward to; I signed it. He’s a buffoon.
Newsom’s not a buffoon. Our “leaders” are not incompetent, fools, buffoons, naive, or stupid.
Every one of our elected “leaders” know exactly what they are doing, and what the results will be.
This is the planned destruction of America, and all of our leaders are complicit.
You have that right, I’ve been thinking for quite a long time now that the rulers are not stupid, they know exactly what they are doing………destroying America.
Cops are NOT on our side, those stupid bastards that arrested the surfer would let antifa/blm burn your business down while looking the other way,they are the enemy
Word. They serve their paymasters and wipe their backsides with the BOR. I pity the fools who are out there flying their “Blue Lives Matter” American flags from their front porches or in the beds of their gas-hog p/u trucks. The Orcs and Orcettes with badges will eventually administer a rude awakening on them.
@py…they have the preprogrammed machines
remember. Maybe he’ll slip while playing with
his dog and break something.
My husband and I just returned from L.A., visiting his 98-year-old mother in assisted living. We could not believe the level of paranoia throughout the city, and all of CA. Pathetic.
Went for a drive here in MT. Stopped at a gas station along I90 to fill up and grab a drink. Not a soul wearing a mask and a guy was in the register line with a nice .44 on his hip. Nobody said a word as it is not uncommon in more rural areas. Happy folks going about their business.
Martel’s Hammer, there will be enclaves of skilled people who refuse to participate in the great reset.
AKA “Domestic Terrorists” to TPTB.
If one of the herd is outside, the others get curious.
Nobody will be allowed to stay outside of the fence. Nobody.
I was there recently as well. People wearing masks driving alone in their cars. At our hotel cars with husbands and wives would pull up, both masked in their car. As we were leaving the airport there was a car with a sign on the window saying “Don’t kill me…wear a mask”. Stores would close all of their doors but one to protect against the virus. I would say in the area we were in about 1/4 of the businesses and restaurants had gone under.
North Florida here, no masks very very rare to see anyone wearing one. I never have wore one myself.
@scott
That’s hat happens when people are glued to TV MSM looking
for the news.
“Makes me sick that there are soooo many terrified people out there. ”
Add up all the people who have never done ANY real work their entire Lives. And couldn’t do anything productive at any level if the HAD to.
Don’t need a Crystal Ball to see where this is headed.
What region of the country? Just curious…
Not sure who you were asking but, I’m in the mountains area of NE Georgia.
It’s the new game where one can tell another what to do because of a ‘higher virtue.’
It’s disgusting to anyone with a couple of functioning brain cells.
Corporations are enforcing it – https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/2020/11/tyranny-inc-contemplations-on-tree-of.html?m=0
The indoctrination of our youth and population in general started decades ago. It is my opinion that political correctness, fear of global warming, global cooling, extinction of species, fear of weather, fear of physical violence supported by TV, fear of fuel shortages, fear of food shortages, and the list goes on. All this has conditioned our population to accept the present day idea that government will save you, do as we say. We have become sheep wanting to be sheared. JMO
I personally “don’t” wear a mask. If I am that infirm then I should not go out in public. When I go out in public, I thank those folks that “are not” wearing a mask for doing so.
“Government will save you.” I have seen nothing in these riots and insurrections in the Blue shit holes that would suggest government saved anyone or protected anyone or any property.
I did see red country “hicks” run off and beat the shit out of the commieasses wherever they tried to get big and bad in small towns and in places like Sturgis. I saw a 17 year old boy gun down filth in the streets of Kenosha while all the body armored “men” with helmets and machine guns stood by awaiting orders or permission.
TPTB fuqued up big time here because the lessons I have drilled in my head by 2020 is that government isn’t coming to help, doesn’t come to help and the people in your neighborhood can and will take it to the BLM/Antifuqueres even if the local NBC station calls them “racists” and high school kids can and will kill to defend just like the grown ups are supposed to.
The “private sector” doesn’t need to rely on anyone else if the time comes to take out the trash. Surely we will NOT be hoping for or depending on “government.”
H R – The only thing I have seen the AGW’s protecting are the homes of the mayors and councilmen.
Well said, H-R! It appears that from what we’ve witnessed these past few years, we are on our own. It ceases to matter if the police are funded, or not, if their superiors tell them to stand down in the face of rampant violence.
I’ve got a couple of H-Rs myself, but not of the M2 variety. More the M1 and Sportsman break-top revolver. Great fun.
Jeffrey, the Harrington Richardson M1’s favorite food is M2 Ball. Commonly known as 150 grain full metal jacket .30-’06 Springfield. The Harrington Richardson is considered the mostly carefully made and finished of the M1 Garand rifles.
I thank people for not wearing a mask. I say, it is good to see freedom loving people again.
I also thank people whose mask is below their nose for having the sense to not re-breathe their exhale.I congratulate them for protecting their health from diseases spawned by low blood oxygen content and their brains from cellular damage and death. They sometimes agree, others look somewhat confused.
I hope I make both groups feel better for their choices, at least. And at most, maybe someone standing nearby with think about my comments.
“The indoctrination of our youth and population in general started decades ago.” You are so right. Back in 1970 my BIL gave me a book to read, “None Dare Call It Conspiracy”. The scales fell from my eyes and began to notice al ot of things going on. Event A ushered in Event B and so on getting worse all the time. Then the media, I noticed inaccuracies and deflection, what my hubby calls half stories.
It started a very long time ago and now for the elite it’s coming to fruition.
Poignant article that displays the critical situation we find ourselves.
As a non mask wearer I’m beginning to understand how the Jews in Germany felt with the yellow star. I read recently that over 80% of Americans are now religious mask wearers. Of course, TPTB only wear them on camera.
We now see direct correlation between a failed education system and the power of a corrupt media.
Home of the brave? Doesn’t take much courage to follow the herd over the cliff.
Land of the free! Only for those in charge.
I run at thr rockefeller preserve here in Sleepy Hollow. The beauty that can be observed on the sprawling property of perfectly manicured 15ft wide horse trails is unimaginable. Since Late spring the place is packed with wondering urbanites carrying gallons of water, backpacks, ski polls and MASKS!!! Masks everywhere and on everyone. People turn there back to me when i run by them ten feet away on the other side of the trail. Ive seen a mother cover her young childs face with her hand, HER FUCKING HAND, when i ran by them. Last week i was running along a stream in a particulary forested area, the woman i was approaching, maybe 150 feet away began waving her arms. Undeterred, i ran on, only to discover she was dousing herself with lysol. HUH???? The air went from the cleanest freshly respired O2 God can produce, think perri-air from spaceballs, to a sticky chemical laiden cloud that stuck with me with a mile. I considered circling back and throwing a match in her highly flammable ass, but that wouldnt be nice 🙁
The ostricism is getting worse. The blanketed are emboldened. Its only going to get worse. As for now, i make a point to look each person in the eye i pass and smile. How long before my unmasked unvaxxed ass will be running with a yellow star tattooed in my forehead?
@NoLongerLurkinginNY,
I’m sorry for the frustration you had at the park. FWIW, I’m a 50 year life long resident of the area. Hell, even used to play on that property as a kid before it was a legitimate park.
That said, there is a psychosis going on in that area. Longtime residents moving away, and new johnny-come-lately’s eating up the vacant properties. And they are bringing the fvcking neurosis with them from NYC. The multi-million dollar condos being built on the river are just going to bring a whole new level of moron to the area.
Personally, I won’t wear a diaper. I was chastised by a woman in a public park this spring, which had been empty at the time, for my son and I not wearing masks. Meanwhile, back at the farm, she’s walking her dog in the park. Dog are expressly prohibited there. And she owned a rather nasty breed to begin with. Rules for thee, and not for me I suppose.
Question Technology. Question Authority. Hold your line. And… Never…EVER surrender.
(don’t give yourself away.) *musical reference* =)
Thank you for kind reply. Skipped rockefeller this perfect fall afternoon and took wifey, the wee one, and the pups to Warburg park for our Sunday walk. Yes, Warburg, as in THAT Warburg, brother to Max and father to the Fed, Paul Warburg. Anway, point of the story, we only saw two other people. Both UNMASKED dog walkers. I think i found a new spot. Pssst, dont tell anyone. Please!!!!
Matches – Awesome!
Carry a box of Saran Wrap. When you see a masktard, offer them some of your far superior “Covid Barrier”. Explain that they need at least three layers tightly wrapped over the nose and mouth, but it is 100% effective at preventing them getting covid.
Failed educational system? Compulsory public education was the foundation plank of the Communist Manifesto’s “pathway to the future.” It was the first plank enacted in America and elsewhere, because it is what creates eager, helpless, non-thinking clients, who will demand the rest of the program.
Exactly. The educational system is no failure, it is an unrivaled success … so long as you understand what its purpose is.
Notice how the MSM never mentions the Gates “medicines” that caused a polio outbreak in India?
And the Congo…,
They pull numbers out of their backsides. The latest I’ve read is that the CDC says the 14 day quarantine is no longer valid and it is reduced to 7 days.
I know a woman who has it along with her husband and one of their kids. She was taken to the hospital and put on oxygen 12 days after testing positive. About the same time she was admitted, the county health department sent her an email telling her it was 12 days so she was good to go. She is currently “improving” but she has had it for 3-4 weeks.
Our owners know what they are doing. They would not have unleashed their plans unless they had confidence that
society was ‘ready’ to collectively accept this massive deception. Some people continue to see through this sham. Few. I believe the downward spiral will continue. But I will continue to live my life and thank God for the gifts he has and continues to bless me with. Hope resides in me. Hope will have to reside in you. Perhaps not for this life.
Yep know the feeling sadly. How you felt there is how I feel about Australians supporting gun control. It feels almost like a betrayal. However we need to remember these people just like all of us at one stage are fed constant propaganda in media until they inevitably believe it or stop questioning it externally. I also feel there is a feeling of wearing a mask being the right to do even if they have doubts. To us its an affront to our liberties and all about controlling people rather than a virus but to them its probably just about protecting grandma.
As much as anything I imagine the masks are a way of making people feel like they are “doing something.”
HR,
Feeling like they are “doing something”, is correct. I am amazed that some are literally risking their lives for very survivable disease. Going back to “normal” will occur only when the instigators are exposed and dead.
“Ian Haydon, who received the highest dose during Moderna’s first human trial in May, experienced “headache, muscle ache, fatigue, nausea.” He also vomited and fainted in reaction to the vaccine and eventually admitted himself to urgent care. Haydon told Science Magazine that it was a “small price to pay” for the possibility to return to normal life.”

That brings back some memories. I can remember folks shocked at the “naughty words” when that came out. Never more true than today after a half century.
“Safe means never” – Dennis Prager
I watched when the control measures were put into place for you guys. My personal “Jiminy Cricket” was screaming that was going to be a bad fvcking idea.
I weep because that voice was right. Police down there would be far more respectful, diligent, and discerning if the possibility of a .40 cal being fired into their face was likely on a BS door knock warrant.

Thank you. This piece conveyed the serenity. It was like one of those beautiful nature segments they have ended “CBS Sunday Morning” with for decades. That show, like this lighthouse is their only remnant of greatness.
It is demonic, the fear. Completely irrational. Good idea those walks, I haven’t had one in too long a time.
Love the last paragraph. It how I feel about things too.
I enjoyed going out to eat a few days ago and there was a parade here last night and then this morning my Google-based phone has nothing but fear articles. One about recommending my state lockdown like LA.
Jim, when they come for you , don’t make it easy.
I’ll go out like Cagney in White Heat
Top of the World Ma!!!!
Those old Cagney movies are great.
My favorite “going out” ending for a movie still is this.
I am 70+ years old and don’t mask-up unless absolutely necessary to get in a business and then immediately take it off or pull it down below my chin. I have no fear of an unseen and maybe unreal virus. What terrifies me is the 80% brain-dead MF’s who will surely whine and get their way and one day have me locked down, locked up, or worse so they can FEEL SAFE.
It seems to be regional…In southern Arizona, even the Covid true believers don’t wear masks outside…I’m outside a lot every day, and I estimate fewer than 3% do so…That percentage was higher a few months ago, but the fear has definitely subsided…
I had a couple get very mad at me because I was within 3 feet of them in a line at a store. They asked me to move back and I refused. One of the couple held back in line while her partner checked out just so there would be the six feet between her and her partner and i couldn’t move up. I too have seen many people outside alone with masks. People are just stupid. I have worn a mesh mask throughout this- when I have to enter a store and no one has said anything…the farce is incredible
None of these things are effective unless they are done properly. Masks put on in a sterile manner, changed every five minutes to reduce inhaling multiplying bacteria, new gloves on before touching anything, and removed immediately in a mindful, trained manner to not touch surfaces that touched other things such as your face, etc etc etc.
They are about making one feel virtuous and ‘helpful.’ But most especially, they impart a feeling of superior knowledge and higher virtue. And empowered to lecture others on same.
Fear has become virtue.
So has willful ignorance.
Thanks to a life saving kidney transplant (kidney problem inherited) I have to take extra precautions against any infection ! Got a metal splinter in my hand a while back , popped it out some wound wipe and a band aid no biggie . 72 hours later arm swollen and hot to the touch . 4 days on IV antibiotics in the hospital then 2 weeks at home with antibiotics in a neck line and another 2 weeks on oral antibiotics .
I know that’s my problem and I have to deal with it !
Do not think because I and my family are taking extra precautions for one second that we are giving in to what amounts to government control !
We had family over for thanksgiving and we were over the head count counting the kids . When asked what I would say if authorities came to the door I said I would tell them to please be quiet we are hiding Ann Frank and her family in our attic !
Don’t discount the old remedies such as epsom salt soaks for deep wounds. The extra magnesium alone is worth the time.
Some home remedies are fine but the splinter was so small , tweezers and neosporin years ago I would not even fool with a band aid for such stuff
Old home remedy. Pull out the splinter and let dog lick the wound.
Resist by all means necc.!
I will say nice no beer cans about.I occasionally hiking pick up cans/bottles and while annoyed figured just drunk teens(was that teen meself once!).
That said,a few day back picked up not one/not two but three non alchohlic beer cans,WTF!
The musings/analysis on this guys blog is very interesting reading: https://www.monkeywerxus.com/blog ,give the latest two articles a peruse.
We can solve this problem of me not wearing a mask which you feel is putting you at risk. Your fear is that I might be infected and not know it and should wear a mask, which you believe to be a barrier to the virus and with the mask you’re wearing that would result in there being two barriers stopping the virus from getting from me to you. So here’s what we do, I don’t wear a mask and you wear TWO, that way I’m free to do as I please and you have the two barrier protection you want. Everybody’s happy.
That gets back to the BS about releasing prisoners because of Wuflu. If f’ing masks work why not just leave them in their cells with masks, right? To extend the argument further, these people are criminals, which means they can’t be trusted to wear a mask outside of prison. But here, the prison is where many of the cases have come from.
Of course, in all these government locations where money is pissed away like water by the tanker full, the idea of installing UV lights for a few hundred bucks per room is totally ignored and likely not even considered even though that kills numerous flus and buggies.
Save us from these “leaders.”
To each his own , being considerate of people we know to be at High deadly risk is one thing but listening and yielding to some leftist government control freak telling us to turn in our neighbors ! I’ll see these leftists bitchs hang Nuremberg style first !
If restaurants are still open in NJ, and if you like Tex-Mex and Cajun cuisine, stop in Woodbridge at Jose’s Tejas on your way back north. You’ll be glad you did. I left NJ 6 years ago and Jose’s and Mueller’s Bakery in Bay Head are the only 2 thing’s I miss from that state

MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS – THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
You know those Civil War re-enactor guys have dozens of working old time Napoleons and similar muzzle loaded cannon. I’ve seen demos where they put a cannon ball right through the bullseye at fairly long ranges. Old tech but only a mad man would try to advance against one charged with a bucket full of nails or buckshot, the old canister rounds.
Every American Legion seems to have an old 105 or even 155 sitting out front and many of them still work. You may notice they are now filled with cement but that wouldn’t be hard to remove. The reason is like what happened on the Andy Griffith show when Barney set off a civil war cannon left loaded for decades.
In Mt. Morris Illinois, the modern artillery piece ( I’ve driven past it a hundred times) in front of the Legion Hall on Rt. 64 had honest to God somehow been left loaded when delivered to them and somebody was farting around with it years later and it fired. It is probably still on-line.
Same thing -Different place. We were walking the Grand Canyon trail on Friday with many people and the non maskers appeared to be enjoying the experience way more than the leering Karens we passed. My personal survey put it approximately at Pareto’s 80/20 rule “The law of the vital few”.
My biggest concern is children and adolescents succumbing to this tyranny and hopefully they rebel against the “Go to your room! FOREVER” world we currently exist in. This is the fight of our lives and every action we take to speak out may touch someone one way or another and change perspectives or in turn they say to someone else ” hey this guy/gal said this or that and what do you think?”.
We never know how we change our world one step at a time and affect others. There is hope!
Imagine how sad our Creator is that provided us a way to receive eternal life through the one name given among men whereby they could be saved, even though by our choices we disobeyed His rules, which is worthy of the second death and people still rejected Jesus. The masks are nothing to that sadness – there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth for many people once they receive their final judgment especially realizing they could have had eternal life had they simply made that choice. Likewise, those who choose the mask where people years before determined masks were not effective for infections although they are helpful in other areas such as mowing a lawn and reducing ones pollen intake during the mowing process or when dust is stirred up in the air such as sawing and stuff. For COVID, masks are essentially useless and in fact cause more harm than they help much like lockdowns cause more mental health harm resulting in more suicides than COVID. Insane world we live in for sure.

The vast majority of people are stupid and easily manipulated. You cannot make a 100 IQ into 140 or even 110. Stop tilting at windmills!
170K+ dead from COVID. 655K dead from heart disease (fat people) every year. Maybe should be wearing masks around fat people? Maybe we should find a vaccine for obesity?
Please don’t give these idiots any more ideas.
Critical thinking takes effort whereas passive compliance is simple. Few people wish to contemplate the world as a sinister place. After all, they consider themselves good people and, therefore, it’s better for their state of mind to perceive government officials, the WHO and CDC as trusted servants and protectors. Furthermore, if people can recycle and lower their carbon footprint for the sake of the planet and don a mask to save lives, it feels good to them. It’s their way of looking out for others and showing respect to a just and moral universe. They have food on the table, gas in their cars, electricity, running water, heat and air conditioning. Why rock the boat? Why not just go along to get along? Because this, too, shall pass and things will get back to normal soon. Hope is a beautiful thing.
Perhaps history repeats and rhymes because blindness occurs when people refuse to see; because sleeping prompts colorful dreams; and the fact our leaders so easily hide their horns.
Not that any of it would make a difference anyway. Because, in retrospect, the signs were always there.
H.L. Mencken — ‘Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.’
The CBS Sunday Morning show had a segment about the vaccine that is being rolled out and a scientist stating that anti vaxxers belief that they believe the vaccine will be used for mind control. Immediate ridicule by stating something I have never heard or read an anti vaxxer say. Anti vaxxers have many well founded reasons but the MSM rolls out the they are all crazy based on a supposed belief. They discussed what it would take to bring us into line.
I would say OK, prove it is safe. Let me randomly pick the vaccines from multiple cases which I pick and then you be injected with it. Even if it is all legit there is something unsettling about this hysterical rush to vaccinate the whole world for something that might kill one out of 1,200 or so folks based on this past year. Going forward there will be immunities built up and improved medicinal treatments. Maybe some folks will get their hands on HCQ which some “poor” countries have been passing out like breath mints and dropping their fatalities to near zero like Ecuador.
I will refuse all vaccines until the pharmaceutical companies can once again be sued for liabilities. Even then I’ll think long and hard before I do so.
The solution, of course, is to let everybody do that which they think will protect themselves. It doesn’t mean that they are blindly following orders nor that you are acting in defiance. If you look down on somebody who chooses to wear a mask, you are as guilty as those who look down on you for not.
Protect themselves from what? a virus? Viruses don’t cause disease. Malnourishment and toxins do. A bacterial infection is too many firemen surrounding the burning building.
As to your last sentence, it’s not looking down on others, it’s more like pity for their lack of knowledge and courage. Besides, it’s the no maskers who are assaulted, not the maskers.
Oh yeah, I AM acting in defiance.
The same thing happened to me. I was sitting in my car when a lady came jogging by maskless with her baby coaster and she saw a young man in her path so she covered her mouth quickly with her blouse around 6 ft from the guy as the law say you can be maskless in public so long as there no one is within 6 ft of you.
LOL, never saw anything so stupid in my life.
You must be young. The stupid have always been the same. It is just that there is a shitload more of them these days. The only difference today is that the stupidity is celebrated as “socially responsible” where it used to be mocked as moronic.
It’s like I have been saying for the last 50 years, 90-95 % of the people in America will accept any form of government, since the Satanic Elites took control over our money,thru the Illegal FEDERAL Reserve Act. Total Control has been their goal,and thru control over the MSM,and the total control over our schools and colleges,which teaches socialism,acceptance of perversion as normal, hatred of America and all forms of Ungodly beliefs, Today our country is on the verge of total destruction. I don’t believe it can be Saved,we can only save ourselves and our families with the help of God. We can blame the democrats,The communist, The Illuminati or who ever or what ever,but the Sad reality is we are the cause of our Destruction,we as a nation have turned our backs on God and let Evil take us over. Now Judgement Has Come Forth from the Throne of God Against America and it’s People. Seek God now,cry for His Mercy.Woe into this Land and the people.For death and destruction is at our door.
Grandpa Bad Finger is going to fix it. In September PCR testing was bumped up from 35 cycles to 40 cycles (or more). This gave the illusion of an outbreak when it is understood anything over 25 cycles is just garbage.
After Bad Finger is sworn in they will drop PCR to 25 or 30 cycles. This will eliminate many of the false positive (aka Asymptomatic) tests and the sheep will rejoice.
Just like Global Warming/Climate Change they try to scare people with science they don’t understand. Look for a better tactic with the climate scam next.
My visit to the Camp Mohican area in northern Warren County, NJ was my wake up call. I couldn’t believe people were hiking in this mountainous area with the masks on. At least half of the people hiking there this past friday were wearing masks.
We have been seeing lots of cars with New York license plates in the area lately. They moved out of the city due to virus hysteria and they are here in my home town with their masks on. Plenty of local believers as well.
My visit to walmart on Sunday morning saw me wearing a mask but with my nose exposed. An older gentleman was ready to fight me over it but his wife settled him down. Been confronted by management in walmart a few times for not wearing a mask. I try to always have a coffee with me and use that excuse just to mess with them.
If you get the virus you can be asymptomatic for several days but still spread it to others. Do you care that your unwillingness to comply with simple public health interventions may well cause you to infect someone who will end up hospitalized or die or have long-term organ damage? Wearing a mask in public is a minor inconvenience after all.
You’re a douche.
Everything that’s led to 30 million out of work is a ‘simple public health intervention’?
Go virtue signal and change your diaper.
No, he is what a douche is trying to get the stink out of. Now THAT you may need a mask for!
Just keep being a Good German & OBEY!
Your “minor inconvenience” is the reason 31% of the small businesses in NJ will never come back.
Nice trade off, right?
Go spread your asymptomatic FUD elsewhere.
Nope, i don’t care.
Get a quarter, and you can call someone who cares, cuz it won’t be anyone here.
Your health, your responsibility….
Jeebus!!!
STFU, now.
“Wearing a mask in public is a minor inconvenience after all.”
Right on brother! NOT being able to breathe is indeed minor.
Nice!!
Best of Luck taunting the bastards!
Joe
More conspiracist BS.
“Masks don’t work.” Yeah 99.999 percent of the worlds doctors are idiots I guess, meanwhile you jackasses have everything figured out. Lol
Retard sheep doesn’t have the critical thinking skills to do the simple research where the CDC said masks don’t work, the England Journal of Medicine said masks don’t work, and now a “SCIENTIFIC” study in Denmark proved masks don’t work. Be a good sheep – don’t think, just obey your keeper. I really need an IQ test for commenters to weed out low IQ trolls like this idiot.
HAHAHAHA. And your fucking stupid too anon? Awesome!
Guess you were a liberal arts major, because your clearly don’t have a grip on statistics.
Post your opposing statistics, then, please.
Otherwise, continue molesting yourself unabated.
I guess the linguistic gymnastic performed was a bit much to see through on the surface.
99.999%? That’s a survival/recovery statistic.
Compiled, peer reviewed consensus figures of efficacy are not available because THEY DO NOT EXIST. I agree there are plenty of new studies that confirm what most of us have suspected for months now. But enough alphabet agencies, and Baby Docs for hire skew the analysis to the highest bidder.
Admin is on the right track. Be responsible for yourself, protect your weak.
If masks/lockdowns/”social” distancing worked, then we wouldn’t have a resurgence of the ‘Rona, would we?
Come on now. Don’t you know that every time you use logic, it makes a moron cry? And then their mask gets all wet.
some are fighting back:
The quiet, peaceful moments seem much sweeter these days. And a belated Congrats on 30 to you and the Mrs.
The third wave will be all Admin’s fault. Damn superspreader.
Nice pics! Looks lovely.
Yes, all his lethal unmasked germs have formed a statistically-improbable zephyr which channeled them all upward, into the lighthouse tip, and from there, again unbelievably, have been distributed via its rotating light into the atmosphere and therefore all of New England.
The science says so.
I couldn’t help but laugh quietly as I spoke to my friends & relatives in California as they spent 30-60 seconds talking about Thanksgiving & then went on & on about how they sat 6 feet apart with Masks – Outdoors with a Fire. Sorry but my Relatives & Friends are Insane. I Never think about the Bullshitarona “Virus”, Don’t know Anyone who has Supposedly had it, Don’t know Anyone who has Supposedly “Died” from it but Anytime I try to watch local TV “News” it’s 25 minutes of a 30 minute segment where every story about Anything somehow has to Include “Covid”. I stopped “Trusting” the MSM since Monica Lewinsky & I’m sure there are those who stopped “Trusting” after Kennedy was Assassinated by a Magical Bullet fired by 1 & Only 1 Gunmen who was assassinated very quickly. Welcome to The United STATE of BULLSHIT!
“Don’t know Anyone who has Supposedly had it, Don’t know Anyone who has Supposedly “Died” from it” I say that all the time to the idiots and I get a stupid look like a dog trying to figure out what a moth is thinking.
Hi, been vacationing at cape may for 20 some years now. never gets old. We missed this year due to family health issues. (not covid, cancer) ..Do you live near there?
I live 120 miles away in PA. The sunrises and sunsets have been spectacular.
Only for those standing in front of Admin, not behind, to avoid a total eclipse.
Noticed how our local news ran a story on what a great job they have done in Victoria in ridding themselves of the Rona. They were purposely running a story in Philly about how successful lockdowns have been as propaganda to convince the boobs a lockdown will rid the country of Rona.
Oz is not the US. Oz is an island, and gets a minuscule amount of arrivals. Even with that enormous advantage, the virus still gets out of incoming quarantine. How could the US implement a quarantine given Mexico and Canada and the massive amounts of incoming air passengers? It cannot.
The Victorian lockdown was enormously destructive, and the economy will take many years to recovery. The loss of personal freedom was outrageous.
Australia will not be able to permanently prevent reoccurring episodes. There will likely be rolling lockdowns. A majority of citizens – ie those that have not had their businesses and jobs destroyed – love it.
It is a political game that is being played not because of the damage done by the virus, but as a result of politicians discovering it guarantees their reelection.
It will likely work the same way in the US. People want their govt to keep them safe, not free. And most of the world has now been convinced that the coronavirus is smallpox.
This will end poorly. Safe is not free, and in the end safe is also not safe. Sheep get slaughtered in the end.
Ah, (yes the internet is useful for searching such things). Our son lives in Plymouth Meeting. He and the daughter in law pop down to Cape May often.
Worked for 14 years at IKEA behind the Plymouth Meeting Mall.
Much gratitude towards another fine article Mr Q.
The pictures, lovely.
The historical background appreciated.
The masked child saddened me.
But hey, I wonder who was commissioned to build the lighthouse in the Army. Must look into that.

I have never worn a mask, I firmly believe this entire scamdemic is a hoax and farce; yet, I am loathe to go anywhere because it pains me to see the masses of morons incapable of thinking for themselves…
I don’t wish to be brass, but a damn good Beg-A-Thon is in order ’round here…
Battery 223 to “protect against German invasion.” Wow. People were just as deluded back then as they are now.
Invasion of our shores via U- boat
Pitiful braindead sheep, I see them everywhere I go. I was driving to the store early morning, no one out except a stupid woman walking by herself, nowhere near anybody or any building and she had a mask on. I can’t imagine a conversation with someone that stupid.
Masks provide a very efficient IQ filter. If you are wearing one, I will not engage with you, as you self identified as being of low IQ.
Best of Luck
Joe
There is a guy, used to be a friend, no longer but he is too stupid to realize it. He said something about killing Trump a few months ago and I told him, fuck you maggot I rather see YOU dead. I am walking through the store parking lot a couple days ago and he drives up to me in his truck to say hi I suppose, he’s one of those always smiling fools. He rolls the window down, I’m still walking, he has his sheeple mask on and I say, “take the mask off stupid you are by yourself in a car” and just walk by without stopping. I’m sure he told his cuck friends, other idiots that used to be friends/acquaintances that I am an asshole. Hahahahahahahahaha
Every time I see a mask I am disgusted by both the mask and the idiot wearing it.
Flatten the curve, bro.
One of my favorite places in this godforsaken state! We make it a point to let the kids climb (respectfully of course as we do not want to further damage it) on the WWII gun fortification and snap a pic of all of them just above the sign that says “No climbing: Keep off.” Little protests are what keep us sane.
I recently watched V again and the similarities between the movie and reality were screaming at me. I see the same things as the writer, here in the Arizona desert. Young people wearing the masks like good little sheep and then here comes this defiant 71 y/o ( myself) not wearing a mask.
I am not frightened into submission by the doomsayers, I am healthy, though yes I have a few problems they are not enough to make me knuckle under their heavy handedness.
I walk into some stores, mask less, who neither stop me or speak to me, no one looks at me sideways.The West has always been more for freedom and individuality than always following the rules. I shake my head and go on with MY life not theirs.
But as a kick, I always shout “Freedom !” as I leave the store hahaha.
Swans and Ducks don’t eat minnows. They are herbivores.
They definitely eat bugs so they are omnivores.
I raise 100k+ fish a year at a local hatchery. Swans and ducks surely do eat little fish, as many and as often as they can.
I guess we should let Darwin’s theory of ” only the strong survive” to play out. GOD KNOWS these sheeple cannot think for themselves. If and when things get really ugly they will be the 1st ones to line up for the shot that will kill the majority of takers, all by design, of course, thank you very much, Bill Mengele Gates, Fausti, Bird, Soros, Pelosi, Newsome, Schumer, Frankenfeinstein, et al. BUT, who knows what they take will spread to the non maskers.
Got help us
