by Jeffrey Tucker via Brownstone.org Three years ago, in the depths of lockdowns, it became obvious that we desperately needed a new citizen movement with a different focus. Prevailing ideological forms were simply not adapted to the enormous exogenous shock to the system that lockdowns implied. It was unexpected, especially under the guise of public health.
If we can establish local resistance networks before the next round of attacks (censorship, mandates, digital IDs, CBDCs, climate change, lockdowns, 15-minute cities, etc.) we may still have a chance to communicate and live freely.
LocalResistance.org provides a safe, anonymous search tool to easily locate neighbours in your own city or town who share your concerns and who are willing to stand together and press for truth locally. By linking locally we can find strength and support, we can communicate, coordinate, educate and resist.
We need a worldwide network of independent local resistance cells, too numerous to eliminate, autonomous and locally controlled, acting continuously to expose and expel all of the corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and corporations who would deny our personal freedom, sovereignty and natural rights. Check it out. Spread the word. Thank-you. https://localresistance.org
I feel like all the trauma of the last 3 years is revisited when I go to the VA hospital for an appointment.
Masking is still required at the Pittsburgh VA hospital or entry and medical care is denied.
How is that humane?
Lots of vets have PTSD or Military Sexual Trauma. Masking can increase depression or anxiety levels. Imagine you are a woman or man who suffered sexual assault in the military and your assailant put his hand over your mouth to silence you. Does masking reinforce that trauma?
Plexiglas is still up which dampens the conversation between the clerk wearing a mask and the veteran on the other side of the Plexiglas. Many veterans have hearing loss incurred on active duty while working in noisy environments. Think flight deck of an aircraft carrier or artillery. How much needed medical information is lost?
Every other chair is still blocked off preventing veterans from talking to each other because..."science." In the past, the waiting rooms could get quite lively. Vets who didn't know each other would strike up a conversation. "What branch of service did you serve in?" "Where were you stationed?" I noticed that the vets that served in Vietnam seemed to have a intense sense of camaraderie with each other.
When I ask my providers when the fear porn is going to stop while pointing to my mask, I am met with a blank look. I say that right on the box of masks it states that masks do not prevent covid.
Great article, and thanks to Bill Rice for the link!
The sad part is that all of this stuff was predictable (and predicted), yet the "experts" didn't care. They blindly promoted their "master" plan and banned anybody who disagreed with it. That's what I noticed most in yesterday's montage of hating the unvaxxed -- nobody was around who would disagree, because those people were removed from the conversation.
You forgot “Fair and Honest Elections”, though I fear it is too late for that. We’ve squandered the last few years with too myopic a focus. Freedom is dead.
Until there is actually a successful legal attack of the swamp nothing will change. Our legislators have ceded their power to it. The courts refuse to reign it in. The executive uses it to get policy enacted that could not be enacted via legislation. Do we even have a constitutional republic anymore?
There is only one way to reign it in. People need to be found guilty of crimes against humanity and then suffer the consequences of such a horrific crime. Prison time or financial fines are not justice. If we are not willing to do this they will do it again in the future over another made up crisis.
