It’s not easy to pin down the facts on this, but they do, nevertheless exist. We’re being told by our “leaders” that we MUST be wearing masks! Of course, the natural question is, “What if I don’t want to?”
“The use of masks prevents the transmission of COVID-19. It’s not a matter of choice. It’s a matter of survival! Bill of Rights be damned.” And here we have the final rub. It is, actually, a question of power. Sadly there is some argumentative logic in their claim, what matters most, freedom or survival? A handy argument to unbox the tool of tyranny. “We’re doing this for your own good.” Thus, when the governmental suggestions are removing our freedoms, and in this case, doing so rather selectively (no church, no ma & pa businesses, no school, but “peaceful” protests will be fine), it is doing so out of its desire to diminish freedom and amplify governmental control. They are battling that pesky notion “the people” have about being their own masters. When control is being lifted from the hands of “the people” and granted to the palms and wallets of “the leaders,” there is ample reason for suspicion.
So… Do masks prevent the transmission of COVID-19? The short, and true answer is, “NO.” Those who suckle at the teat of the mainstream media (propagandia, Thanks Karl!) will require some sort of evidence which they will then ignore if it doesn’t mimic the words of their main-stream Gods. Nevertheless, here’s some inconvenient facts. I know, I know, “We choose truth over facts” (Creepy Joe who, as do we all, makes up his own “truth.”) Those damn facts are a pain in the ass, best to ignore ’em!
Nevertheless:
- T Jefferson, M Jones, et al. Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. MedRxiv. 2020 Apr 7. “compared to no masks, there was no reduction of influenza-like illness cases or influenza for masks in the general population, nor in healthcare workers.” A finding similar to most studies done on the subject.
- The CDC in “Emerging Infectious Diseases” volume 26, give us: “Respiratory etiquette is often listed as a preventive measure for respiratory infections. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence to support this measure. Whether respiratory etiquette is an effective nonpharmaceutical intervention in preventing influenza virus transmission remains questionable,
- J Brainard, N Jones, et al. Facemasks and similar barriers to prevent respiratory illness such as COVID19: A rapid systematic review. “there was no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among health care personnel with the use of N95 respirators.”
- National Library of Medicine “Face mask use in health care workers has not been demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds. A larger study is needed to definitively establish noninferiority of no mask use.
- MedPage Today: Study Casts Doubt on N95 Masks for the Public.
- Annals of the l’oyal College of Surgeons of England: The wearing of a mask has very litle relevance to the wellbeing of patients undergoing routine general surgery and it is a standard practice that could be abandoned.
- Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy: “Masks-for-all for COVID-19 not based on sound data.”
- Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy: “Masks-for-all for COVID-19 not based on sound data.”
The list goes on and on. In view of the governmental propagandizing and financial considerations researchers face, many being University institutions, there are dozens of studies which DO reccomend the use of masks, but these too dance around the uncertainty of result. None provide real evidence that the use of masks is effective.
For those in the know. All of this has been dealt with long ago. The “masking craze” which took hold during the Spanish Flu 1918 – 1920, back in the day when recognizing the origin of a virus was not “racist.” Under the flogging of the power hungry hands of government we’ve managed to forget what accepted scientific evidence has shown us for over a century: that masks are a waste of time, money, and attention.
So… We are back to “NO!”
Which brings us to the very troubling reality: There definitely IS a reason to mandate mask wearing, but it has nothing to do with what we’re being sold. Our Founders were clear that rights are granted by God, not government, and are thus unalienable. Our Constitution does not grant government the power to mandate mask wearing, even if it works (which we know now, it doesn’t). But here’s he crux of this biscuit: COVID-19 is an exercise in global governmental control. They’ve discovered that they can utilize or even create a “disaster” and use it to take unprecedented measures to control not only the economy, but the behavior of the people.
The wearing of these useless masks actually accomplishes something radically important to the powers that be, globalist liberals. It advertises the control the government has over the people. Our founders believed our rights came from God. The Church of Beelzebub (liberalism) delivers a nullifier which is as close as they can come to the hand of God, a disease! Sadly in todays’ world we’ve lost the respect of freedom found in the likes of Patrick Henry who, like our founders who risked everything, believed that life without freedom is no life at all. Our founders held up freedom as a gift conceived and granted by God, not government. Thus be it God, not government who can take it away. I’ve a sneaking suspicion he’d not use a flu bug with a 99% survival rate to do that in any case. But then… I’m not one of the cowards wearing a mask symbolizing my slavery.
Our Freedom of speech is being torn away. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and most of the rest are censoring the commentary of the people who utilize AND finance them, to the point of actually removing them from the platform. Twitter permanently banned President Donald J. Trump, which in America shouldn’t be done, even if the lies they use as an excuse, that Trump incited the riots in DC, were true! They have no more right to restrict anyone from using their platform than I do of not allowing Mexicans who drink German Beer into my business establishment. While they ban the ex-president they have no problem with Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweeting anti-Semitic messages and calls for the destruction of Israel. The Chinese Communist Party is allowed to say whatever it pleases. They allow “Hang Mike Pence” to trend. YouTube is “demonetizing” content creators like Steve Crowder, Dr. Shaym, Dan Dicks… Hell I’ve lost well over half my income due to the demonetizing of those who post my work, all of which is cited and completely verifiable. My sin is that I explain the COVID-19 scamdemic. No, not that COVID-19 is a scam, it is the 2019 mutation of the same old coronavirus we’ve been dealing with for over a century. The scam is that it’s being used to shut down economies, eliminate freedoms and expand governmental control. I point out the crookedness of the crime family boss who currently holds the Presidency in spite of his mental disabilities. I forward the evidence, which is available in reams, that the election was stolen. I wonder at the disappearance of “uncomfortable” news items like the funding of Planned Parrenthood, the Hunter Biden coverup, the Biden laptop coverup, top 10 U.S. aid recipients practice torture, bankers who rigged municipal bonds and stolen billions of dollars, hypocrisy in covering the Ukraine crisis. You don’t want people like me getting paid!
America’s “free press” has become nothing more than leftist propaganda. All reciting the same chorus. For example, when Bush chose Cheney to be his vice president? Every media figure on cable news or who has a column in Newsweek or TIME Magazine or the Washington Post, New York Times, or on TV began singing, in chorus the term, “gravitas.” It doesn’t matter what your news resource was at the time, you heard for the first time the term, “gravitas.” It’s not a free press, its an orchestrated performance. It includes nothing that might diminish the power of those in control. We are witnessing not only the Marxist takeover of our education system, but the truth in his teachings on the role of agitation and the roll of propaganda.
Now we’ve reached the point at which the seeds have been sown, the barley grown, put in the pot and fermented. But will “the people” drink it?
Put on that mask! Stay out of church! No more concerts! Shop at Amazon! No ma & pa diners! THOU SHALT BE RE(S)TRAINED!
