The Great Reset heavily depends on germophobia, which was caused by Rockefeller medicine and their promotion of the discredited germ theory. We've got to get out of the dark ages of science and medicine by ending Rockefeller's century long influence on how medicine is taught.

Retired Archdruid John Michael Greer has a similar concept: "biophobia". It's been an American staple since the hygienic movement of the 19th c. and is intimately connected to the rise of machine-culture, dismissing organic imperfections for the brute strength and invariability of "physical laws" (on the gross scale, of course, as at the time when this mental construct was evolving, the uncertainties of quantum reality had yet to be discovered).

As with the current partisans of "Science" decrying the actual findings of scientists and the vast range of known unknowns, the emotional/ideological background of technophilia is firmly rooted in "modernism" of 200 years ago and has no more relation to reality than Golden Age science fiction about intelligent native species on Mars and Venus.

It's not about a health crisis.

It's not about white supremacism.

It's not about Trump versus Biden.

These are all just extremely cunning distractions to keep humanity from focusing on what we are really facing: A 1984 Brave New World Order global coup d'etat technocracy

It may be foolish of me, but I continue to have faith in the innate perversity of the real world to thwart these technological visions. Most advocates of Big Tech are overprivileged fools who have very little direct contact/experience with the limitations of delicate -- and even fairly robust -- technology. Moving parts break down, electrical connections corrode, and 5G requires enormous numbers of booster towers requiring enormous amounts of space and inviting a constant stream of outages from minor mishaps. No government is going to last a generation by outlawing sex, and humans balked of their instinctive biological needs are infinitely more cunning than machines programmed to follow rote patterns, even when those patterns are contrived by very intelligent humans.

There is reason for hope, if we do indeed fight back. I recommend finding an old print copy of Norman Spinrad's "Agent of Chaos".

Found your blog thanks to Mark Crispin Miller. Thank you for so eloquently articulating what has been swirling around in my head nonstop for weeks. Our tyrant (I’m in NY) has just announced more restrictions that will kill more businesses & is mandating how many people we can have in our OWN homes! But people go along as if he’s just trying to protect us, watching the big black box tell them each day how the “cases” keep exploding. I just keep repeating to those that will listen how these are not sick people, that they’re testing healthy people with a flawed test, that the CDC has stopped counting flu cases (which have magically disappeared), that hospitals ARE NOT overrun, that illness always increases this time of year, that the flu shot itself causes the flu & thus more “Covid”. They nod in agreement & then put on their masks & turn on CNN. Now we hear Ticketmaster will require proof of vaccine or negative test to go to a concert or other event. Will this wake them up? Probably not. They’re just happy to be able to go back to “normal.” And most will take the vaccine & the deaths from it will be blamed on those of us who refuse to take it. I’m trying so hard to believe that those who are revealing the truth, those who are bringing lawsuits, that those doctors & scientists with a soul can stop this. It gets harder each day.

Julia, can you point me to hospitalization rate data? I believe I saw credible info that rates across the U.S. are in fact up. I fully recognize the misleading additional case numbers created by high test counts and false positives, but actual hospitalizations should provide an honest rendering of the real situation, correct?

I recommend Pam Popper’s websites — Wellness Forum & Make Americans Free Again. She posts great videos & articles about what’s really going on. She’s brought a federal lawsuit against the state of Ohio challenging the entire “pandemic”. The state is stalling on providing the data — wonder why. Hospitalizations always go up at this time of year due to increased flu cases, which, by the way, the CDC has stopped counting! Flu cases in most countries have declined precipitously, by the way. Everything is labeled Covid now. Anyone who goes into a hospital for ANY reason is given the faulty test & if tests positive, is labeled a “case.” If a person who tested positive dies, it’s put as a covid death. Hospitals received thousands of dollars for each positive case & even more if someone is put on a ventilator (which usually guarantees the person dies). Nothing is honest about the numbers coming from the CDC or corporate media. The death rate for Covid is less than seasonal flu (just 2 years ago was one of the worst flu seasons with thousands more deaths, but no lockdown, masks, distancing, etc.). This is all to advance a sinister agenda of medical tyranny & mass surveillance.

Julia, thank you. I just drove into Pam Popper's websites and now feel nauseous. I had gotten used to the happy idea that I was the information emancipated one. There is more literature there that I need to review, but it is more than evident that my first ego gratifying sense of finding others more like me and being released from the nuthouse is being followed by awakenings regarding the extent to which I have allowed myself to be duped. Legal encouragement of 11 year old "emancipation" to advance a party agenda is fascist, period. I had heard of this but let it go in the tumble. I saw some holes in the story but still presumed the general story true. I feel sick.

I adore folks who sustain truth in this wildwind world of strategically drafted information, and on top of that have the brains to make sense of it. I am starting to see you as one of those few. As for me, I miss a lot. For example, while I am strongly predispositioned to disbelieve anything MSM (see all the pretty bright colors, wheee!), only in hindsight has it become obvious (to me) that the pattern - Sustaining COVID fear to enable mass mail in voting to bias election results - was planned. Your discussion regarding COVID test results is very meaningful, and I take from this (and from some of your other writings, which I am diving into with fascination and delight) that you are well aware of the subtleties of the situation. Which, all said is preface to my question, do you not think masks are effective as a COVID transmission inhibitor? I recognize there are lots of under and overtones to mask wearing, but simply in and of itself have you found solid information showing its ineffectiveness? I heard an interview where Ron Paul said so, and cited lower O2 as being a significant hazard for some, but neither from that interview not elsewhere have I yet seen and recognized facts that refute the general statement that properly worn masks help a lot.

The main thing to remember is: most people intuitively know that masks hinder their breathing. It's something they understand as soon as they put them on. People also intuitively know that masks are pretty gross (especially when worn over longer periods of time or over multiple days) and that they collect bacteria. They don't need doctors, scientists, experts, media, or government to tell them things they know through their own intuition and instincts. Following our own intuition and instincts is critical in these times, particularly in relation to health-based rights and body sovereignty.

Willow, I just did a 2 hour drive into the information and it is new to me and absolutely changes my position. My summary so far: 1. Masks do sometimes cause serious problems. 2. In non N95 masks, there is scant credible evidence of any protective benefit for CV transmission. 3. Data for N95 mask use efficacy is mixed. If fully sealed there is clear evidence of benefit for upper respiratory infections, and some evidence indicating protection against CV transmission. I would, for the sake of discussions, poke at the possibility that N95s may be of far more benefit than concluded in the studies due to possible emergence of immunity from resultant micro exposure (tiny viral loads) at least for the short term wearer. 4. O2 levels reduction looks bad for anyone under exertion. But, again for the sake of discussion, is that important for most folks on the street? (I have wondered what my midnight cold weather under the covers O2 was, fwiw. Again, massive thanks for all this. I will dive again into it, and spread my newfound knowledge to my kids and fruends.

This is one more link I was looking for. This is a group called America's Frontline Doctors, and this video talking about the ineffectiveness and harm of masks and most of the CV measures was removed from YouTube. You can find it at this site:

Physicians: ‘Masks don’t control viruses, they control you,’ ‘pandemic is over’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/group-of-doctors-masks-are-completely-irrelevant-to-blocking-covid-19

"With regards to masks, [Dr. Simone Gold] did not mince her words, stating, “The facts are not in dispute: masks are completely irrelevant to blocking the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”

Encouraging all to do their own research, she affirmed they would “discover that prior to masks becoming political in March 2020, there was never even an attempt at a pretense that masks, let alone bandanas, stop a virus. It’s a complete fabrication. A virus is 1/1000 the size of a hair.”

Gold referred to Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force who confirmed the same about masks in a March 2020 interview, as “Emperor Fauci.”

She then cited the New England Journal of Medicine which acknowledged that “masks serve symbolic roles” and are thus mere “lucky charms that may help increase” a person’s “perceived sense of safety.”

In addition to having no effect on curbing the spread of the virus, Gold also made strong arguments that masks are “socially divisive,” “cause an insurmountable civil libertarian issue,” and even threaten national security.

Illustrating the absurdity of the dominant narrative, she said, “Notice that what the ‘experts’ have said for months has been wrong — there are not two million dead, our healthcare system was not overwhelmed, there were 10x the ventilators we needed, nearly everyone survives, and early treatment works.”

“You must not ignore your own life experience!” she exclaimed. “If all you had to do to stop a virus is hold a tissue paper to your face, our ancestors would have learned this centuries ago and your grandmother would have taught you this!”"

The main point, though, is that asymptomatic people are not spreading the virus...or it would be "extremely rare," even according to the WHO. There is risk to wearing a N95 mask, so they cannot be forced on people, just as other masks should not be forced on people.

Willow, Thank you most graciously for this thorough response! I just received it, but will spend careful time reviewing all the links. My primary source of honest information has been Dr. Chris Martenson of the Peak Prosperity website. His daily videos reviewed the medical and also to a lesser extent the social and political circumstances, knowledge and studies as they evolved. It's a challenge to summarize, but my more of less chronological takeaways were: 1. Virus, enormously lethal, ostensibly from pangolin/bat origins killed many in Wuhan by January of this year. (Later came to believe this human made virus escaped the lab in Oct 2019.) China locked down data, but situation looked awful in early leaked videos. 2. Pandemic development in US erratic, and concentrated initially in NY. 3. US govt and MSM appeared complicit, and could not have been less honest. 4. Exponential relationship between age and risk established. 5 Social isolation and distancing needed to minimize spread. (At first MSM said masks not of value, but then changed tune, whaddyaknow, just about the time they began to be available in quantity for U.S. Citizenry. Information out of China highly suspect, but it did appear masks and distancing were quickly enforced, and the larger effort in China to control the virus has probably been pretty successful.) 6. Tendency for different populations with different social/medical behaviors all tended to have first waves that leaked at 20% cases. Maybe almost half the population were asymptomatic or altogether immune. 7. Vitamin D deficiencies very strongly correlated with incidence and severity of disease. (Later it became evident that, zinc, melatonin, Pepcid, helped prevent/mitigate COVID and that Ivermectin/HCQ, taken early were extremely effective drugs. 8. The lack of honest U.S. studies for these drugs and the repeat of demonstrably false studies declaring those drugs dangerous and ineffective plus the continued pronouncement of the all but useless Remdesivir exposes the depth of the lie. 9. US citizens response was irregular and divided and it appears to me that self serving aggrandizement and violence was encouraged by the Democratic party. 10. Based on hospital admissions the spread seems to have recently gotten meaningfully worse nationally. 11.

One major point people need to be aware of is the 5G rollout coinciding with this outbreak of illness. The symptoms of radiation poisoning are almost identical to the symptoms of Covid-19 (or what is being called Covid-19 - the virus has not been purified/isolated). Wuhan, China was the first 5G-drenched "SmartCity." 5G went live there at the end of October 2019. NYC is also chock full of new 5G towers/devices. The nine countries with the highest incidence of illness outbreak all had early 5G technology. This study outlines that: http://radiationdangers.com/5g/study-shows-direct-correlation-between-5g-networks-and-coronavirus-outbreaks-2/

Radiation exposure has known effects on lungs, including radiation-related pneumonia. 5G frequencies are known to disrupt oxygen molecules, hemoglobin, and the uptake of oxygen in the body.

It should also be known that Hydroxychloroquine has severe and potentially-permanent side effects associated with it. It's a chemical cousin to fluoroquinolone antibiotics, which have killed/disabled millions around the world, me included.

The Quinism Foundation Warns of Dangers from Use of Antimalarial Quinolines Against COVID‑19

https://quinism.org/press-releases/dangers-of-antimalarial-quinolines-against-covid-19/

"“In susceptible individuals, these drugs act as idiosyncratic neurotoxicants, potentially causing irreversible brain and brainstem dysfunction, even when used at relatively low doses,” said Dr. Nevin. “This drug-induced dysfunction causes a disease of the brain and brainstem called quinoline encephalopathy, or quinism, which can be marked acutely by psychosis, confusion, and risk of suicide, and by lasting psychiatric and neurological symptoms.”

“Symptoms of chronic quinoline encephalopathy include tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo, paresthesias, visual disturbances, nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, agoraphobia, paranoia, cognitive dysfunction, depression, personality change, and suicidal thoughts, among others, ” said Dr. Nevin. “Particularly among military veterans, in whom these drugs have been widely used for decades as prophylactic antimalarials, these symptoms can mimic and be mistaken for those of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.”"

These neuropsychiatric effects are also found in fluoroquinolone poisoning and can be long-lasting or even permanent.

The author of these articles is a man named David who was permanently disabled from the fluoroquinolone Levaquin.

11. MSM touting of mask wearing by itself is cause for a look-see as to the real motive for that position, but it doesn't necessarily follow that masks don't do the job.

How to persuade a nation of anxious phone-gazers? That is the six-bazillion dollar question. The real struggle isn't Red vs. Blue, Black vs. White, Pepsi vs. Coke. Its Civil Society vs. Authoritarianism (obvs) but how to communicate this fact to those who self-identify as "Liberal" while they cheer for Totalitarianism? How to convey empiricism to people who have no attention span and can't be bothered to read for themselves, prefer to let bureaucrats and Twitter mobs provide the bedtime stories to reinforce the brand? How do you fight against a propaganda monopoly? With journalistic integrity and the scientific method? Can that actually work, I wonder?

I would also suggest if you don't have easy access to pharmaceuticals without a prescription (U.S., for instance), that herbal treatments based on Artemsia annua (Sweet Annie) have been used with some success in Africa. Consider them the herbal equivalent of HCQ -- use early with zinc, and avoid doctors and hospitals entirely. Or treat like any common cold (i.e., coronavirus) with goldenseal, echinacea, comfrey, coltsfoot, ginger and angelica, or two cloves of raw garlic twice a day in honey.

If you are actively treating patients, then I do suggest you consider the Artemsia angle. It makes sense as it, like HCQ is a proven anti-malarial and there could be a common mechanism of action, perhaps as a zinc ionophore.

Oh no. Tessa voted?

Voting is an act of violence. No less than pointing a gun at someone on the street and forcing them to do what you'd prefer they do.

Let's be clear on this very important, indisputable fact:

"Government power" is a nothing but a gun. "Politics" is nothing but a bunch of crazy people who believe in authoritarian rule endlessly fighting over who gets to wield the gun.

Belief in authoritarian rule is the insane notion that one human, imagining itself superior in some way or another, should naturally rule over and control their neighbor.

Somehow the madness of this gets lost when we use nonsense words like "common good", "national security", "national interest", etc. As if lots of people doing the same horrible thing, compelling the actions of others at gunpoint, somehow makes it okay? Truly nuts!

"Voting Democracy", however revered, is just a fancy word for mob rule. The founders of "America" wisely and cleverly set up the "Electoral College" system because they knew this:

"Democracy" is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

Of course, everyone who votes believes they have "the common good", or "everyone's best interests" at heart so "when we get control of the gun, it will be put to your head for your own good because you are either too mean or too stupid to do the right thing on your own."

The important thing to remember is that each of us has only our self for a leader. Any other view is a delusion and can only create conflict and misery for your self and others. Without exercised freedom and the will to self-determination, a human being ceases to be human and becomes livestock.

Thank you, and I respect your views as well, and in part agree with them. I think that voting is a very valid format in a community where people are well-informed and spiritually mature. In our case, it doesn't even work properly, not to mention that a lot of people borrow their perceived identity from crap TV and fight for it as if it's theirs. I don't necessarily agree that it's a gun to one's head (the latter is an immediate threat, voting can change your life for the worse if you live in the same country / community with people who have opinions and preferences you consider dangerous). All in all, human being are likely not capable to related to others once their community becomes too big, and that's one of the underlying problems. But I think I understand your thought process here, and thank you again for the kind words.

I realize my words may have struck a nerve and forced a minor identity crisis along the lines of "Yes, I voted, but I am not violent! I am a loving, peaceful human! These words can't be true!"

But you know they are. Clear as day, despite your imaginings of a "very valid format" given specific imaginary circumstances. Sorry to jolt you out of your view of yourself, I know all too well how painful that can be. But I've come to know this kind of pain can be of great value.

This is your forum Tessa, it should be what you want it to be, whatever that is, and your path is your own. I hope you keep walking it and seeing new things along the way. I won't continue to point out the cracks in your posts, but they are indeed there.

Humans are not machines and therefore none of this will work. Laws only work if they are enforceable, and if enough people ignore them they hold no power.

This great reset crap is merely the final act of an empire on the decline, which started in 2008 and is picking up steam. Watch as we lurch from crisis to crisis and resource and energy constraints catch up with us. It takes a lot of energy to run all the modern tech that this reset depends on, and it wont be viable as we go further down the slope. My advice would be to just move away and ignore them and they will end up eating each other. Sure you wont be able to travel by plane or eventually even car without going though really uncomfortable bullshit but air and car travel were only a blip in the history of humanity anyway. True freedom is not depending on roads or gasoline but merely using your own two feet. As you say tessa go more local, power down, and get back to the earth.
