No none of us are are surprised at a another day in the wonderland,which finds new ways to twist,maim and mutilate the "law"to justify its criminality,and undermines every aspect of its own private citizens legal rights.A state that suspends habeas corpus, the very essence of democratic law,when it suits them.

None of it is surprising given the purpose of the attempted reform but at the same time, the boldness is something else. I wish for the monsters to eat each other as soon as possible!!!!

And most importantly, may we be safe.... from them.

Hopefully…

Hopefully this recent mass insanity is only a symptom of opportunism courtesy of the ruling powers. Lockdowns, masks, no-fly lists and restrictions for the Un-V’d etc … are not supported by any scientific or “real-life” concerns. It’s narrative management pure and simple, to what ends I can only guess as being the installation of totalitarianism? Hopefully it wasn’t orchestrated from the start. That would conclude a whole other level of Machiavellianism. Hopefully the world will wake up and see COVID-19 for what it actually is, another virus to be managed like influenza, not a contagion of biblical magnitude. Hopefully enough people will see that nothing is worth our subjugation, that no amount of perceived safety is worth giving up one’s liberties and human rights. In the future people may reflect on this period and realise the lengths to which they were so easily duped. Hopefully there will be shame and apologies. Hopefully those who funded and supported the manufacture of this virus are exposed and bought to bear for their crimes. Hopefully …

Sooner or later (now or a while from now) it will be obvious, and I have no doubt about that because I grew up at the ruins of the Soviet Union, and I remember how it goes when a mighty set of talking points is no longer cool, and everybody laughs at what previously "everybody knew was obviously correct." But I hope soon!!!!!!!!!

Mob Mentality and the Unvaxxed

I think it'll be hard to make this work going forward, though the tool is inchoate rage, not logic.

​ ​I don't forward petitions, but this man is fighting for truth, for your human rights, not just rational medical treatment for COVID.

​Professor of Medicine at Baylor Med School, and author of the most frequently cited medical papers on COVID-19,

Peter McCullough MD, is being sued to silence him.

The petition to Baylor is to please drop the lawsuit against Dr McCullough.

He's a good man, a good doctor and a valiant hero in the current political context.

Next role, human-sacrifice?

Does this include criticism of Dr. McCullough? I'm cornfused...

Proofreading: On the 1st line, I think you meant "grasping", although gasping has its merits.

Copy edit: In the section "...from own souls and at replacing own inner compasses...", most readers of English are trained to expect a possessive word, like 'their' or 'our' or 'your' preceding the word 'own'.

I suspect they're going to want 'their' there.

Give it to them now, or you'll have to comfort them later with "There, there".

Fanboy finale: You're getting better with each one of your essays...please continue.

Thank you Vince!!!!! xo

Also, a very special drumroll: in both cases, the use of word was intentional! I meant to say "gasping" as in, "gasping for air," and also "own." However, no promises as far as other possible typos. :)

Expand full comment

I wasn't suggesting that you remove/replace "own", just recommending adding a possessive word to make it "their own".

You are so wonderful!! I really appreciate your watching over my typos (by God, I need it. :) In this case, work usage was super intentional, I just like how it rolls. But I greatly appreciate your suggestions, the real friend is the one who catches typos!! xo

It's hard work when the impulse comes to eliminate the ones who are trying to eliminate you.

Jason I think it was orchestrated. Not necessarily the pandemic but control of the population. The U.S. has 300,000+ laws and (mostly) regulations that will send you to federal prison for at least a year. Three. Hundred. Thousand. Even if it's not orchestrated the problem is too many people have given in because of fear. And when they do try to take back their freedom the government will shut them down.

Consider: the governors of all states where the legislature has tried to limit their power are fighting tooth and nail to keep it. Going to court against the people's elected representatives who are trying to return the power where it belongs. Courts are shutting down civil liberties at public institutions. Apparently it's being considered in some states no unemployment if you're fired because you didn't get v-d. Insurance won't pay if you get sick and didn't get v-d. It won't be long until you can't buy anything, even online, without a v-card. (Remember when that phrase meant something different?)

I hope I'm wrong, I really do. But... Even paranoids have real enemies. And no matter how paranoid you are, you aren't paranoid enough.

Hi Tessa, I've just discovered my new Internet Service Provider has a block running on certain, specially chosen websites that qualify, i.e. consentfactory.org, thewallwillfall.org, and yours, tessa.substack.com. The only way I could skirt around this was to ask my next-door neighbour for their password and use their wi-fi (a different ISP) to see if I could gain access to the sites. As you can see, this worked and here is my message! Behind the scenes, and despite the fact that we are keeping them profitable, they will obviously go to unusual lengths to shut down public access to valuable resources. I haven't had time yet to get an idea of how many sites are actually blocked, and the true extent of this censorship, but no doubt the above list is not exhaustive...!! Please keep doing what you do and thank you for another great post!!!

And thank you for letting me know!!

Wow!!!!! Does it mean that when you go to my substack, you can't get to the page? I didn't now I was that important... :)

Expand full comment

Yes, no access to your substack site from my phone or laptop, but I can still copy the full text of your posts that appears on your emails and post it to my own blog and share your stuff that way! With other blogs like the two I mentioned, their information is cut short in the emails, so I can't do this. You ARE very important.........and they obviously know it!!

Well of course, "the truth is our enemy". Which tells us everything about the true nature of the story told to us by people who are now ramping up their attacks on folks like us who dare to speak our minds without first consulting our masters. Big ISPs' now, little ones soon to follow?

Unbelievable isn't it? So many frightened, angry and delusional people in positions of power who wish to carry on believing that they are in charge of everyone. Like tyrannical dictators their minds are morose and full of fear and dread. Loss of power being seen as an ever-present possibility. Spies and enemies of all kinds are always lurking behind every tree and shrub.

Relax you guys. We really don't give a shit. We don't want your power. We are not plotting against you. We just want to live free, express ourselves, think for ourselves and speak our minds. To speak out in defense of human liberty is peaceful, healthy human behavior. If you are hearing us say things you don't like, that is because you are indeed actively engaged in creating an extremely toxic, insanely restrictive, fear-based social environment. You think only of the maintenance of your own interests, ie maintenance of centralized power and monetary control and so are callously blind to the effect these have on the psyche of the individual human being.

You may see short-term success duping the majority of us, but in the end the resulting reality will be such a dark, dystopian nightmare that even your remaining spineless servants will eventually lose interest in getting out of bed to toil through their empty day as a cog in your cold machine empire. I mean, really it's nothing but gilded slavery you arranging for us.

Natural human light, the joy of living that currently still keeps us plebes going despite your cruel, dominating, blood-sucking policies will go out of the world entirely. This is simply because there is none of this light within you due to the culture of money and power you were raised under, a culture that must destroy all natural human compassion existing within your children as early in their life as possible lest its' inhumanity be exposed for the horror that it is.

My guess, Tessa, is that your magnum opus on the GR hit the beast so squarely in the chest that your page has now appeared on its' radar. Your readers and their comments are also full of courageous viewpoints and truthful information.

Oh well, let them play "website whack-a-mole"-- we will find each other again.

So hey, tell us Paul, which ISP is this? (Not that it really matters....)

Hey Edgar, thank you for your excellent comment. The offending ISP is the UK's third largest by subscriber, VirginMedia.com. The one I used to get around it and to post this message is Sky.com. Thanks again!
