British Protest 15-Minute Cities Where They Will Become Prisoners of the State
From the article: "To further seize control of people’s lives, Globalists are pushing the false idea that these “green” cities, which make services accessible to residents within 15 minutes of their homes, will “save the planet” and help all humanity. Instead, they are nothing more than a way for them to restrict, coerce, fine, punish, surveil, and limit the fundamental right of freedom of movement for residents. For example, residents are not allowed to leave your 15-minute city by car more than the allotted times a year. Otherwise, you will be fined. In addition, the government will track and control your every movement through your smartphones & facial recognition technology." You can see how the "COVID" set the stage for this level of tracking and control. Are we excited about the future yet?
Mass Shootings Are Why PRINCIPLES Should Always Come First
Some members of our organization came here from a certain political party because we'd been told they were "on our side," and then we were betrayed. Well, it has happened again. Need To Know News highlights the treasonous act with the title, "GOP Congressmen Lindsey Graham and Dan Crenshaw Join Democrats in Call for Gun Control, Sell Out Their Conservative Base Following Mass Shootings." These kinds of "kneejerk reactions" are never actually as impulsive as we are led to believe. This is how the Hegelian Dialectic works. They have a preplanned action they wish to take. They cause an action or look for a convenient one, and then propose their original plan as the solution. Problem, Reaction, Solution. It's a handy little all-in-one tool of the conspiracy. People who stand on principles, however, don't abandon those principles at the first sign of trouble, or even the tenth. Why? Because principles are eternal! They are truths that do not fail to be true, no matter what happens! Do we protest against gravity when a kid falls out of a tree? No. But what if they die! How tragic! Now we really hate gravity! It has to go! Down with gravity! But alas, it is a principle that is always true, and therefore we are free, and accidents can happen. The right to bear arms stems from the Natural Law that all living creatures have the inherent right to defend themselves. Even the scriptures support this law: “And again, the Lord has said that: Ye shall defend your families even unto bloodshed. (Alma 43:47)” Can it be abused? Of course! As long as men are free to choose their own actions, all laws will be abused by some. But there is the simple point: we must remain free! Those who wish to remove our rights and usurp leadership of our country and the world, at large, understand this. They know what they are doing. They only get away with it to the extent that we, the people, do not. “"This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty.... The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1803 (Source: https://www.buckeyefirearms.org/gun-quotations-founding-fathers)” This ordeal is also a great example of why Ezra Taft Benson warned us that, although the Constitution will be saved, "it will not be saved in Washington"! We have the Second Amendment for a reason, and it ain't hunting!
Masks: The Science Is NOT Settled
There are many scientific articles BOTH saying masks are helpful and NOT helpful. The CDC itself has flip-flopped on this issue since the beginning of this so-called "pandemic", with Dr. Fauci contradicting himself at times. Since this issue has been a question for almost a hundred years, there have been dozens and dozens of studies done on this subject on population samples both large and small. The science is clearly NOT settled! While I had originally intended to provide lists both for and against here, I will instead direct you to the following articles, which have already done the hard work for me. An Evidence Based Scientific Analysis of Why Masks are Ineffective, Unnecessary, and Harmful [1] This extremely thorough and well-documented article was written by Dr. Jim Meehan, MD, an ophthalmologist and preventive medicine specialist with over 20 years of experience and advanced training in immunology, inflammation, and infectious disease, and who has personally performed well over 10,000 surgical procedures. Masking Ourselves To Death: A New Essay By Mark Crispin Miller, PHD [2] Mark Crispin Miller, a professor at NYU, casts a light on our current circumstances, and points out the hypocrisy at every turn. Very long and well-written. Language warning for some of the quotations contained in this article. This article is highly-documented, particularly to sources like the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and Clinical Infectious Diseases magazine. Even Some Liberals Get It In "The Coronavirus and the Right’s Scientific Counterrevolution," an article from the decidedly Leftist, pro-mask website, The New Republic, there is an admission that shifting guidelines about mask-wearing has had nothing to do with research, or evidence, or any other set of facts, but was instead about shifting opinions. “"As for the effectiveness of widespread mask usage in slowing the transmission of respiratory viruses, effectively nothing about this evidence had changed since the start of the pandemic. The evidence remains now what it was then: partial and conditional. It draws from either idealized laboratory conditions, or past outbreaks of other viruses in which randomized controls were not possible. In a rapidly shifting crisis like the present pandemic, it’s exceedingly difficult to establish even general correlations, much less firm causation. In other words, the U.S. mask advisory changed not because of what the evidence plainly dictated; rather, it was because experts’ judgment of the existing evidence had shifted. And the judgment itself was not mainly scientific—it was a prudential assessment of how the evidence should guide action." [3]” Masks Are Medical Devices It is unlawful and unhealthy to prescribe the same medical device to all people without proper medical consultation. The risks associated with this one-size-fits-all approach have been demonstrated in many instances, very few of which have been publicly disseminated via mainstream media. You've probably heard this argument before, but not from a surgeon. Well, here you go! "I'm an ophthalmic surgeon. I specialize in ocular immunology, inflammation, and infectious disease. I’ve performed over 10,000 surgical procedures wearing a surgical mask. I have suffered the detrimental effects that masks caused to my mental and physical function during long surgeries. Because most of the surgeries I performed were microscopic procedures that required fine motor skills, I changed my mask frequently to prevent the detrimental effects of arterial deoxygenation." [1] Mark Crispin Miller, PHD, in his article above [2], provides links to little-publicized articles about multiple people passing out, even dying, from improper mask wearing. Beliefs Are Not Science I will leave you with the following quote, as food for thought: “"The universal use of unscientific face coverings is closer to medieval superstition than it is to science." – Dr. Martin Kulldorff (Harvard Medical School professor) [4]” SOURCES [1] https://www.meehanmd.com/blog/2020-10-10-an-evidence-based-scientific-analysis-of-why-masks-are-ineffective-unnecessary-and-harmful/ [2] https://truthbarrier.com/masking-ourselves-to-death-new-essay-by-mark-crispin-miller-phd/ [3] The Coronavirus and the Right’s Scientific Counterrevolution, The New Republic https://newrepublic.com/article/158058/coronavirus-conservative-experts-scientific-counterrevolution [4] As quoted in "Fire Fauci!' - Trump Rally Explodes Over Coronavirus Doom And Gloomer," RonPaulLibertyReport (YouTube) https://youtu.be/0NfVMc_pFQ4?t=986
