It finally happened

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

Someone who’d ostracized me during Covid said it out loud: “You were right. Never again.”

It was maybe the most humiliating moment of my Covid life.

Summer 2021, the Twitter-ban era: a friend of one of our kids came to our house to play. When they realized I – not my wife – was supervising, the child’s parents told us they were uncomfortable and would retrieve their kid immediately.

They weren’t joking. They arrived in minutes. They made a three-point turn in our driveway so they were facing out and wouldn’t spend any extra seconds close to me.

I watched their child run to their car, watched it disappear down the road, thinking: Now my kids are paying the price, too.

Yesterday the mother of that child told me I’d been right about the lockdowns – and about Covid generally. The conversation wasn’t long, but it was long enough. 2020 and 2021 had been incredibly difficult, she said. She didn’t like how frightened she’d become, she hardly recognized the person she’d been, and she felt only now had she recovered.

What if they do it again, I said. You know next winter, or whenever, they’re going to try.

The mom didn’t laugh. She did something better. She smirked. No way, she said. No masks, no lockdowns, she was done with all of it. Yes, you were right, she said, but your tone was assholish sometimes –

I know, I said –

But you know, I feel kind of assholish these days too, she said.

(Those were the days)

She’s the first person I know personally to flat-out admit I was right. I thanked her, and I meant it. I was surprised how good the vindication felt.

Our kids hang out again now, too.

We’ll talk about the mRNAs another time.

Haven’t had that happen yet. Not holding my breath either. Everybody who I still hang out with is avoiding the subject altogether. So I don’t know the levels of disability of the person that reported chronic shoulder pain in the injection arm for months or the one with the deep vein thrombosis 2 weeks after.

Watching those covidians close to me who are now ignoring the elephant sitting on their chest is almost as disturbing to me as when they were foaming at the mouth about our selfishness of not locking ourselves in the house or wearing dirty clothes on our faces – and the rest of the rituals.

Or when they would outright reject our friendly nudges toward other resources, conflicting data, actual science and such. Or to us, the rather obvious.

And of course, the whole sacrament of the needle, which caused several of those friends to jettison us from their lives entirely. A few who didn’t still “can’t believe that we would be so selfish”, between visits to their doctor for various ailments.

I feel bad for the people who were duped into.the injections. But those of them who ostracized others, who somehow concluded that they had a right and obligation to do so, pfuck them. Seriously, I wouldn’t have anything to do with them, ever again. Especially those who were so lacking in common sense and logic that they somehow believed that the injections were safe and effective, providing both protection from the “virus” and preventing transmission of it, which itself is illogical, because if it prevents infection then there’s no need to be concerned about transmission. But they believed all that shite, and still were adamant that everyone else needed to be “vaccinated” or they wouldn’t be safe from the virus; even after the theoretical herd immunity number was reached and then exceeded.

But you’re in Massachusetts..right?

I can’t imagine what the post 2019 years have been like there. I was born there to an old heritage family, and lived there off and on for over 20 years, I had to leave there, because they are batshit crazy, it’s been over ten years since I have been there, even for a visit. And I actually do miss the place, but it’s an insane asylum in the best of times. I can’t even imagine what it was like during the plandemic. It was borderline dystopian in the Desantis free zone of La Florida, Massachusetts must have been horror a ble.

Similar thought from commenter “Germ” on Raúl Ilargi Meijer’s Debt Rattle today….

Anecdote:

My super death-vaxxed sister-in law is currently sick with her third viral respiratory infection this year.
It’s summer here in the UK for God’s sake!

She and her husband are both PhD physiologists.
Absolutely clueless and in total denial.

Most of the people who are terrified into going along with the overlords’ agenda are now too embarrassed to admit they were bamboozled by the PSYOP so they will never ask for forgiveness or even admit we were right. But its okay, the plutocrats got away with it no will ever be indicted, arrested, tried convicted or punished just like with 9-11 and the ongoing the financial coup d’état.
Those of us who held firm, who experienced the ostracism and ridicule and held out know the truth, it was uncomfortable but we know the lengths the miscreants will go to to achieve their genocidal goals. We know now most of the sheeple (our family, friends and neighbors )will go along to get along. We know now for certain so act accordingly when the next “crisis” hits.

Separating the wheat from the chaf is all a part of God’s plan.

It’s tares- looks exactly like and pretends to be wheat up to the point of harvest. At that point the wheat is full and ripe and golden and glorious to behold and tares are ass.
Chaf also needs to go but that’s just shell removal from the good stuff.
So a distinction needs to be made as the wheat is thoroughly mixed, possibly even outnumbered by tares. By their fruit you shall know them. Hence the whole field needs to be left to ripen and mature.

Random thoughts from one in the peanut gallery…

A new word…Assholish.
Applicable to many, in many venues.

2. The post brings a little bit of solace, perhaps, but…

3. It’s not about any need to be told we were right.
It’s about constantly SMH, and wondering when, and if, hopefully more former friend-sheep will wake TF up, and see what’s REALLY going on.
Good God, the supporting evidence is abundant.
Open minded need only look, seek, and find it, then repent. That is, to Rethink things, about former disillusioned beliefs that have cluttered the garden of their minds with nasty, prickly weeds that hurt, & block out the sun from invigorating the healthy produce therein.

Weed out your garden, stubborn.
Open thine eyes & ears to Truths.

Don’t bite off my finger. Simply look to where it is pointing. Heed these advisories conveyed.

No takesie- backsies and no fucking do-overs. You don’t throw your own family a fucking emotional beating and then think all will be forgiven. Nope. This ends in a divorce or a funeral. Dealers choice. I have no preference at all.

Let those in sin remain in their sin, and let those who are righteous remain in their righteousness.

Yeah, right, sure.

Unthinking credulous and compliant cowards don’t change. Would bet big money she will do as ordered exactly the same next time.

Big tough guys around here were all chest pounding defiant THE FIRST TIME, right up until they caved, “because kids”, “because wife”, “because job”, “because sportsball”, “because restaurant”, “because travel”.

Big talk, nothing more. The herd is full of compliant masses, delusional about their ownership of a backbone.

I’ve never had the experience…the idiots that vaxed their children and babies are still living in a state of denial and cognitive dissonance. The sheep will have to accept the fact that they were lied to about the vax and the plandemic before they can ever be red pilled to the fact that not only the 2020 election was stolen…the American dream is as bankrupt as the economy.

CogDis gets a bad rap. Most do not consider that cognitive dissonance is the first stage of recovery for those who have been brainwashed or gaslighted. It’s not a great place to stay, but it’s better than being brainwashed.

I was as vocal anti jab/mask as I could be, and I didn’t care what anyone I knew said or thought.…sent many anti-mask/jab threads from here to everyone I knew with an e-mail address warning them in no uncertain terms.

Had some family (wife’s side) cancel a visit because we were not jabbed and when they brought it up I scorched them…they canceled. They were supposed to come this month (years later) but because of the three heart surgeries one of them have had to have after all those jabs they had to cancel. Big liberals and completely lost in the brainwashing. Before they canceled I told my wife to tell them not to bring it up while here and I won’t but if they do I will scorch them again. However it became a moot point.

I prepped with Ivermectin (early on) like I do everything else with small $ amounts constantly. I sent many e-mails out to everyone in my circle proving it’s (and HCQ’s) worth and had a couple desperate calls from friends (and in two cases friends of friends) who were suddenly super sick and terrified of going to the hospital and being vented. Ended up giving Ivermectin & HCQ to 12 people (just asked them to pay me back later (most did but not all – not pleased with that) and all were cured of Covid.

I found out many more listened to me and bought Ivermectin (where I had recommended to buy it) just in case and then told me they took it when sick and it worked within 3-4 days and they were fine!

I was asked to leave a Barber shop, a Wal-Mart, and a liquor store for being maskless, and I did, but I did not go quietly…and all the masked drones around me got an earful of their sheeple compliance.

I found Open Carry (where legal) was a major Karen/Ken deterrent so I switched from CC.

I also started wearing a camo mesh sniper veil…just to be a smart ass, and that got a lot of reactions that were funny to me.

I sent multiple Spike Protein/Graphene Jab Detox e-mails (that were posted here) to everyone and I know many of them were Jabbed. A few thanked me. Most were silent.

I suspect more and more of those who took a knee so to speak are nervous in the Bio Weapon self-inflicted service…and some are getting angry as their eyes are opening???

mark, I will say that I was a faithful follower of your experience and expertise, even though late to come around to it.
I’ve tried to relay the message of info so graciously provided.
Most recently, on last week’s FF, and Joe perhaps saw it for the first time.
That is, the I.H. source, but I didn’t remember the contact name and phone # off the top of my head. I encouraged a search of TBP archives on anything IVM or HCQ, and scan the comments, as you’ve revealed your knowledge multiple times on multiple threads.
It was well received, by more than just YAJ.
Kindly post your contact’s name and number again, as we may have newbs lurking.

I’d also agree w/ you, that the knee takers won’t ever cop to being duped or wrong, but
many I know who have subsequently gotten sick again have ruled out getting any boosters.
Pride is in their way. They’re unwilling to admit they got it way wrong.
So, they avoid the topic.

What still blows me away is how many otherwise intelligent people, who have a lot in common with me, still hold on to the idea that when they get sick, they either think this time, it’s just the ‘normal’ flu, or they utter garbage statements like: “I got over it quicker than I expected. The vax did it’s job.”
I stop short of asking them if they’ve lost their minds.
There’s no convincing them. They’re committed to the talking points.
The ones who I remain on good terms with have never chastised me for being a pure blood.

There’s your difference. At least they recognize each individual’s choice to determine their own actions and reactions when it comes to personal healthcare.

It’s the ones who still believe pure bloods ought to be ostracized for refusing to obey.
Those MFers I’ve long ago learned to ignore. Their opinions are worthless.

Suds,

Thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate the encouragement.

If I hadn’t had been positive I was poisoned with Agent Orange and spent 40 years researching detoxing and actually sure I have detoxed successfully, and during the same decades dug into the truth about the poisoners, then had my spiritual eyes opened, I wouldn’t had been so ready to rebuke the poisons…but especially the spiritual/cultural/political/economic POISONERS…and discovered how wonderfully and fearfully I am made.

Catherina Austin labeled what is being done to us as the GREAT POISONING…and that wonderful lady is correct!

Right now I am researching natural Cancer cures. I lost my sister two years ago to it…super-fast, and I felt helpless. Now my father-in law if fighting serious skin Cancer (and doing well) and I am building a tabbed binder with 9 tabs (so far) while stockpiling 9 different natural cures.

I had posted about my father-in-law’s Cancer and Flash (thanks buddy) sent me a Gab link from an 87 year old woman on the Sodium Butyrate – Artemisinin cure, filled with personal testimonies of Cancer cures. That set me off on a new quest! I am a deep dive guy once on the trail. When I’m done I’m going to put the 9 different Cancer cures into a thread (with back up links, vids, and books) and send it to Admin. Right now I’m into the Metabolic Cure Theory for starving Cancer cells through Keto (reducing sugar & Glucose/Glutamine) fasting (both interment & longer) and using Ivermectin…I’m all over Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s work on it.

Ivermectin holds great promise in treating all forms of Cancer…and I will back that up soon in my article with links.

Like you I am astounded by many intelligent people who have swallowed the propaganda, brainwashing, and dumbing down hook, line, and Bio Weapon Jab! I believe more and more are secretly terrified, I know a doctor who father died from the jab, his robust mother was put in a wheel chair, and he is one scared man as he took it too.

I have had some success with people close to me who were on the fence, sent hundreds of dollars of detox directly to loved ones who took one jab (after I found out after the fact) and know I convinced them to stop there (all were forced by their employers). They are all anti jab now…and have had no issues so far. I have told them Detox is a process not an event and hopefully they are keeping it up. I gave them a long list of Detoxers and sent them the links below.

Here are two links I had put up a while back…lots of information…some great comments.

HOW TO DETOX AND REPAIR YOUR BODY FROM: THE EFFECTS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER JABS JABBERS VIRAL & SPIKE PROTEIN SHEDDING ON THE PURE BLOODS AND OTHER NWO TOXINS AND POISONS WE ALL ARE EXPOSED TO

DETOX

As far as buying Ivermectin, I started out with a Pepper company in Pa., but they were suddenly closed down. Then for close to 3 years I have been using Insulin Hub and going directly through Andrew James. Everything is done on the phone, it takes about two weeks for delivery, and you won’t be charged until it is in your hand. I also have built an Antibiotic home stash through them…bought a book for laymen with the various antibiotic uses/dosages. Been a Prepper a long time and like having them in my home.

I haven’t placed an order in a while, but here is his contact…he is Canadian, and a great guy. He will follow up after the delivery and make sure you are satisfied and have it.

Thank you!

Like many here (and you) I love jacking with the masses of asses. The Jackers know who you are.. We may fling shit among ourselves but we are a ‘diverse’ TBP collection of (I suspect) mostly defiant loners who are magnetized like righteous ‘DEFIANT FREE’ filings to the Platform on Fire.

I always wore the sniper veil with a provocative cap (never been a sniper – but I have put 100 round belts in their direction – shut them all down…every time…almost burnt out barrels – made me very popular with my grunting peers).

Now, I have posted about this at the time Covid was raging…some will remember, but I wore what I did just so the Karen’s/Kens understood how unhinged I might be…(and I wasn’t bluffing).

The mesh sniper veil, open carry (this cap below was my favorite…made all the potential Karen’s/Kens I encountered turn away on a frigg’in dime and fast walk away) it was my defiant statement…at that time.

This is the patch on the black hat I favored…in public…just to wear a jab during the Covid Con in relation. For some reason i couldn’t post the cap with it on it.

Interesting.

My relationship with pretty much all the people in my family has totally collapsed as of the holiday season in 2021…and it had F-all to do with covid.

They say it takes two to tango, but I really think that I was not the contributory factor.

But it all got flushed anyway.

I wonder if it is something in the air.
