Watching college football, and it is striking to see all the commercials with people wearing masks.  Looks like a psyops.  Hard to believe though.

Of course it is. And 90% of the world will go along with it.
Schaff Recht mir Gott und führe meine Sache gegen ein unheiliges Volk . . .   .

I'm a bit jaded.  We never REALLY had it in Oklahoma.  Mostly old people wore their muzzle an no lockdowns.    Even that died out over a year ago.  School was cancelled spring of 2021, but they opened back in the fall.

I don't have TV and only watch Youtube streams during college football season, so maybe it is more shocking to me to see people wearing muzzles in the commercials.  They look really goofy.

I work as a nurse in a nursing home in a blue state, so it never went away.  I am required to mask for my entire shift daily.  I pull my mask down every chance I get when management is not looking.  I have to test twice weekly, since I refused to take the vaccine.  I did get an exemption, thank God for that.

But here, in Michigan, we are hearing how "positivity is high" and "everyone should mask up" but so fat there have been no mandates.

The health department contacted me after my positive test and I had to fill out a form for them. 

Part of me wants out of healthcare because of the Covid crap, but it is the only skill I have that can support me and my youngest child in a reasonable fashion.

We worship as you once worshipped. If we are wrong now, you were wrong then. If you were right then, we are right now".

From my sources, there are several major lockdowns in China going on now. But unlike here in US, it is a big drill and preparation before they take a plug on the West and proceed with full decoupling.

It had better not come back.

I was saying to my husband the other night that even when we move back to Alberta, we're never going to feel "normal" because of what we experienced during the lockdowns here. Our friends back home will not understand what we went through because Alberta remained relatively sane, as far as the Canadian experience goes, while we are in the province that had the tightest restrictions.

There was so much that struck fear into us. Fear of getting a fine for not masking or of having our Mass shut down. Reading threats like "Let the unvaccinated die" on the front page of a newspaper. Hearing the Walmart greeter yell at me for not taking the hand sanitizer at the store entrance. Being careful not to talk too loudly in the apartment about vaccination status, lest the neighbours hear. My husband receiving a paper from work declaring his evening job "essential" so that the police wouldn't fine or arrest him when the 10 PM curfew was in effect. Being refused entry to stores like Walmart or Costco due to vaccination status. The threat of a significant "vax tax" and door-to-door vaccination services from Quebec's premier.

It had better not come back.

You live in one of the places in the world where lockdown was not that stringent.

Mate, I'll never forget here in Australia, and I didn't have it as bad as other regions of Australia like Victoria, but it was still bad, I even ran through scenarios in my head of if they came to my door or approached me at work what would I do. I'd die before I'd let them stick that shit into me and then what was on the news, absolutely surreal, never experienced anything like it before in my life.

Literally advertising it as the best thing since sliced bread to the next moment this -













I went to Mass in secret, attended a baptism in secret too, so many veiled and outright threats and then when the mask mandates hit, they were all saying "It's only for two weeks" and I knew it was 100% a lie which it was, I lost my job in the end anyway and knew it was coming, all the while having to play pretend and play dumb, only dropping hints here and there.

If they try it again, I hope and pray, due to the extreme nature of the first one and the fact that everyone has had covid now and should know first hand it was all a lie that they won't get away with it again. More people are starting to say no and the far majority don't wear masks anymore either.

Anyway, I should just add, that even watching those main stream media clips again myself gets really stressful, so I remind myself of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

'Jesus, I Trust In You'

Prayer for Preservation from Evil

A Psalm of David.

141 I call upon thee, O Lord; make haste to me!
    Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!
2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee,
    and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!

3 Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord,
    keep watch over the door of my lips!
4 Incline not my heart to any evil,
    to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with men who work iniquity;
    and let me not eat of their dainties!

5 Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness,
    but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head;
    for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.
6 When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
    then they shall learn that the word of the Lord is true.
7 As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land,
    so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.

8 But my eyes are toward thee, O Lord God;
    in thee I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
9 Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me,
    and from the snares of evildoers!
10 Let the wicked together fall into their own nets,
    while I escape.


Our Lady of Fatima - "In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph."

God Bless

QuoteYou live in one of the places in the world where lockdown was not that stringent.

I actually wrote the wrong date.  COVID was "over" for us in Summer 2020.  Got me in trouble when I drove up to Illinois to visit my daughter.  Didn't have a mask.  Luckily I had a bandana.  This was the surreal situation where some Chicago Branch Covidian was instructing me that the bandana wouldn't work if it didn't cover my nose.  Sheeple gotta bleat.

We'll see if they try to bring it back.  I think most Americans in Red States have caught on it was a hoax.
