It looks like there’s an effort to make the Corona virus a lifelong problem.  Turns out that  vaccinated people will need a booster shot, every year.  We’re pretty sure there are no financial considerations for anybody.  They’re just trying to “keep everybody safe.”

It seems like only yesterday that medical privacy was popular, even with politicians.  Maybe you’ve noticed, that’s no longer the case.  Those who make the “rules” (and then are caught breaking them) are now in charge of our bodies?  Nonsense.

The slicked down Governor of California has MANDATED that no gas powered automobiles be sold in that state after 2035, and gas powered lawn mowers and weed-eaters are outlawed by 2024.  Stupid people think they’re “saving the planet.”  How obscene does it get?  It doesn’t matter that the glaciers are still frozen, or that there’s enough ice in Antarctica to sink their whole theory.  It doesn’t matter that the top UN scientists at East Anglia University were caught doctoring the historical record and privately discussing how to conceal their slight of hand.  How could they “hide the decline” in historical temperatures to make the contrived theory plausible?  Please look it up.

Do you think a “scientist” hired at an astronomical salary to sell global warming is going to dispute the theory?  Surely a scientist couldn’t be corrupt.

Surely a doctor couldn’t be corrupt!  “You don’t know what you’re talking about!”  Maybe we don’t understand the depths to which noted professionals might sink to do the bidding of their benefactors.  Look up some of the hi-jinks these oracles of medicine have involved themselves in, at our expense.  It’s not pretty.

Now they’re going after the little children.  There’s no information available on the long-term effects.  We’ll never know unless we allow children to become test cases and monitor the results.  That’s how “science” works.  Sure, some will not fare well, but the statistics are needed.  Right Dr. Fauci?  This is the guy that thought a “pandemic” was an acceptable risk.  His own words bear that out.  Better not disagree.  Cancellation hangs over the head of everyone.

How is it that the high priests of population control are tinkering behind the scenes, and the most bombastic promoters of the “vaccine.”  The media is not about to expose them, because the media has been absorbed in the movement. They’re there to make sure we know how stupid we are if we ignore their advice.  If you’re brave enough to risk an evening on CNN, you’ll get a face full.  And that goes double for the alphabet networks who are on board with the newspapers, the social media companies and the big corporations, many of which are dependent on good relations with the government.

Check this out, reported in the mainstream media because they are presumably on board with this nonsense.  Yahoo! news reports that a training program for AT&T employees insists that “white people are the problem.”  Here’s a paragraph to give you a glimpse.  “AT&T Corporation is putting its employees through a racial reeducation program that teaches that ‘American racism is a uniquely white trait’ and tells white people that they are the problem…”  The program, says the mainstream outlet, is “based on the core principles of critical race theory, including intersectionality, systemic racism, white privilege and white fragility.  The program also promotes reparations, defunding the police and transgender activism…”  That sounds about right.  And the left claims a majority!

These are the truly enlightened doing this.  They’ve got parallel goals, and they all have to do with either re-educating us or banning us from normal pursuits.  Let’s see.  Global Warming, white racism, hatred of law enforcement, reparations and transgender activism?  We’re not sure what one has to do with the other, but those who believe in any one of these are expected to vouch for the entire list.  Just to stay out of harm’s way.

Trying to keep up with current events is more than plenty to make you sigh and cry for the abominations accepted wholesale by polite society.  The country that was founded on God-given rights and liberties has gone whole hog to wipe them out.  They spout “science” as their authority.  We’ve got news, science is merely the effort to understand what God has set in motion.  The most educated of them realize that an Intellect that they cannot even understand created what they are trying to comprehend.  But now they’re trying to tell us that they, Dr. Fauci types, represent supreme intelligence and therefore we must obey them at every turn.  Otherwise, you’re a science denier.

Don’t be depressed.  If we live long enough we’ll see these little twerps get their comeuppance.  The pretender is meeting with you know who at the Vatican, missing the feather in his cap for having bankrupted the United States in perpetuity.  They thought they’d ram through nearly $4 trillion in social clap-trap so he and the grand poo-bah of so-called “Christianity” would have something to celebrate.  Hard to believe these guys are at the helm of the most powerful institutions on earth.  We hope they’re enjoying themselves, it won’t last long.

The post Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – 29 October 2021 first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

We’re sorry, but our website was not working properly for several days.  It’s almost fixed now and soon should be in full working order.  I’d tell you what happened if I knew.  As for 21^st Century WATCH, we sent the layout to the printer several days before leaving for the Feast of Tabernacles.  In the past we’ve been surprised at how fast we received printed copies back here at the office, and knew that everyone would receive their copy within days.  But you’ve been hearing about shortages and delays with ordered goods?  That’s what we’re being told about the magazine, they couldn’t get the paper in a timely fashion.  And still we wait.  The issue has been posted at 21^stCenturyWatch.com if you’re tired of waiting.

Our immediate concern is for those that are experiencing health difficulties.  Not here in Tyler.  Some have had the dreaded Wuhan virus, and recovered at about the same rate as familiar bouts with the flu. Apparently  people react differently, some with very mild symptoms, others more severe.

These Updates have been a little testy about everybody barking orders and making demands.  Even those who’ve taken the decision and gotten their shots recognize that government officials (the infamous doctor comes to mind) don’t have the power to demand that we inject something.  Hundreds, no doubt thousands of employees at various concerns are walking off the job, unwilling to bow down to heavy-handed dictates by firms doing the government’s bidding.  But there is no law.  When did Congress pass a law requiring vaccination papers for employment?  It’s not been done.  Companies that survive on federal contracts are clamping down for obvious reasons.  The mainstream hasn’t heard.

As we’ve mentioned before, and everybody knows by now, parents have been shredding school officials over the anti-American, racial indoctrination little kids are subjected to as part of their curriculum.  Not only that, but the children are told that there are alternatives if they’re not happy with their gender assignment. No problem.  They can swap genders if they so choose, they’re taught.

The Coronavirus may end up saving America.  It turns out that parents got a good look at the kids’ schoolwork during the great quarantine, and those who paid attention were none too pleased.  School board officials have been publicly thrashed and shamed by furious parents.  You’ve undoubtedly seen some of these incidents.  School officials, fully masked, pretending to be distracted by some papers or their phones, acting disinterested while parents express absolute fury about the drivel their children are forced to “learn.”

According to communications that have gone public, a letter went from some national school board association to the White House saying that officials had been harassed and threatened.  Almost immediately the Attorney General fired off a letter to the FBI suggesting that the parents were a danger and should be investigated.  Maybe you’ve seen that he (Merrick Garland) was questioned before the Senate this week.  It went on and on as he denied everything.  You might call his answers stonewalling.  He had a memorized statement about his “memo” and repeated it to every question.  Even when asked about his daughter and son in law making huge sums off the marketing of the “educational” system, he repeated the same statement, over and over again.

This guy was nominated to the Supreme Court by the messianic transformer.  He didn’t get that job, but may be able to sustain serious damage as the Attorney General.  Some of the exchanges are extremely telling.  Somehow you get the impression that none of these high office holders have America’s best interests at heart.

They can’t wait to spend outrageous sums on socialist dreams for our future.  Maybe the future they plan doesn’t include us, how ‘bout that?  We can be thankful that a couple of holdouts have delayed their plans and may yet scuttle the spending spree, temporarily.  But it may not matter.  Apparently they’ve figured out ways to work around Congress whether there is any advice and consent or not.

So the mainstream media goes on acting as if they have a vast majority, a mandate in fact.  That may not be the case, but that’s the attitude broadcast over about five networks and several social media outlets.  Don’t agree?  Get lost.

Some of us are going to hang on to our Divinely ordained liberty more deliberately than ever before.  There’s only so much they can do to us, and it’s not nearly enough.

It turns out that Antarctica is setting historic (for as long as man has been keeping track) records in the cold department.  There’s more snow and ice than they’ve ever seen.  But keep it secret.  They’ll throw you off social media if you dare lampoon settled nonsense.  It’s good they switched global warming for climate change, and just in time.  Now record cold is proof of global warming. What are you, a science denier? It’s been comical for some time, but the buffoons pushing “climate change” have no sense of humor.  Particularly where they themselves are concerned.

There’s been some funny stuff already in the great movement to convince us of “climate change.”  The Australian ship that set out to monitor warming seas, that got marooned in ice requiring rescue.  The scandal of East Anglia climate experts and the communications that proved that even “scientists” were willing to fake the numbers in fact “hide the decline” in order to “prove” their false narrative.

But the powers that be (and nearly every large business concern) are all through trying to convince us of anything.  Now it’s all about punishment for the non-believers.  Say something questioning their religion, you’re banned.  We can’t have people like you expressing opinions that aren’t sanctioned by science. The real problem is that these power mongers don’t believe in God.  They’re still operating on the basis of the first lie ever told, “You shall not surely die.”  Unless of course you refuse to do what you’re told.  Then you’re dead.

We haven’t heard too much about predestination lately.  “I guess it was his time…”  No, everybody is supposed to have their hair on fire about Coronavirus, global warming, and domestic terrorists.  It must be important that the bunch of them stay on offense at all times, always blaming regular Americans, trying to  make everyone feel guilt for working, prospering and trying to live our lives in freedom.

How much time and effort was devoted to the nonsense the mainstream spewed ceaselessly for the entire duration of the Trump presidency?  How much of it turned out to be true?  They hammered headline accusations.  They dissected the word “collusion,” said it had happened, and that was a crime.  In fact, they said it was treason.  The networks rooted for impeachment breathlessly, and took great pleasure in informing us that it was happening.  Finally!  But it all came to naught.  All but the lingering suspicions on the part of the networks and their reporters that Trump was guilty, alright.  The case just hadn’t been adequately proven.  But don’t fret, they were right all along.  Now back to the pandemic.

Scandals are roiling, but they never see the light of day in the mainstream.  The Attorney General is calling parents, ticked off by the racial curriculum being used to brainwash their children, domestic terrorists and trying to get the investigative branch involved.  Who do these parents think they are?  Turns out that his family (daughter and son in law) are making a fortune supplying this drivel to schools all over the country.  We were apparently never supposed to find out, but did.  The mainstream knows nothing about it.  They preach global warming like a religion, and you better not insult their idea-baby.  My Dad invented the term, and there could be no better use of it.

AP News June 30th 1989 – ‘Senior UN Official warns entire nations wiped off the face of the Earth unless Global Warming is not reversed by the Year 2000….governments have a 10-year window to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control’.

“It may already be too late!” the headlines screamed.  The litany of failed prognostications by these pompous buffoons is beyond comical.  They’ve been trying to get the public panicked for at least forty years.  First they freaked out about the coming ice age.  Papers were published and leading scientists interviewed.  Yep, global freezing was going to make us all move somewhere, carrying a load of man-made guilt.

But then they realized that it wasn’t getting colder, so they flipped a 180 and told us we were all going to burn up instead.  The sea ice would be gone at the poles.  Children would have to see pictures to understand snow.  It was a thing of the past.  Al Gore made his infamous movie and was lauded, virtually worshiped as some great seer.  We plan to include the ridiculous headlines in the next issue of 21^st Century WATCH magazine.  It’s so idiotic as to defy credulity.  All efforts to convince anybody have faded into the background.  It’s settled science, if there is such a thing, and we will now obey the mainstream or be castigated as some throwback who just doesn’t get it.  You wouldn’t want to risk cancellation, would you?

Some things you just don’t do.  Contradicting “settled science” is verboten.  Even when the scientists are caught making stuff up to convince us to shape up, media covers for them and keeps pounding the clap trap as if it were true.  Not panicked about global warming?  You might be a danger to society.

But they’ve been making fools of themselves for the duration.  But we are a polite bunch.  The sissy boys act like they’re in the know, and all educated people agree with them on a whole range of subjects and attitudes.  What if that’s not the case?  Forget all the sneering and the eye-rolling, “everybody knows” routine.  Even the anchors know better, never-mind all the acting.

They make it seem like all but the mentally deranged agree, and the corporate advertising doubles down on all the self-righteous nonsense.  The regular Joe is facing a flood of propaganda, and we just shake our heads.  It’s a pretend majority, and we all know it.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.  Let’s not lose heart.  The rotten scoundrels trying to undermine this nation will stumble upon justice sooner or later.  Let’s pray it’s sooner.

WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department has invited U.N. experts who investigate racism and minority issues to conduct an official visit to the United States, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.

“Responsible nations must not shrink from scrutiny of their human rights record; rather, they should acknowledge it with the intent to improve,” Blinken said in a statement.

“I urge all U.N. member states to join the United States in this effort, and confront the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia,” he said.

Blinken said the United States welcomed the U.N. Human Rights Council’s adoption on Tuesday of a resolution to address systemic racism against Africans and people of African descent in the context of law enforcement.

The murder of a Black man, George Floyd, by a Minneapolis police officer last year sparked nationwide protests against racism and police brutality.

U.S. President Joe Biden, who won the White House with critical support from Black voters, made fighting racial inequality a key platform of his 2020 campaign.

Blinken said the invitation to the U.N. Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism and the U.N. Special Rapporteur on minority issues was the first step on a plan to issue a standing invitation to all U.N. experts who report on human rights issues.

The post U.S. State Department invites U.N. racism investigators to visit U.S. first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Much of what we see coming in the immediate future is enough to make you run outside with your hair on fire.  Quite a few of us remember the days of Jimmy Carter, and while he may have been the nicest of men, he was a humiliation to the nation.  We got stomped, threatened, attacked by every bad boy on earth.  Suddenly the whole world knew it was open season on America, and did we ever pay.  Reminisce if you can about the Iranian hostage crisis and the torture Americans endured at the hands of the ayatollah’s followers.  There were complex factors at play, but the most important was America’s projection of weakness.  We were told that the “world was running out of fossil fuel” and there were gas lines to prove it.  The price of fuel doubled before our eyes, but it just couldn’t be helped.  OPEC controlled the world supply and we were on their blacklist because, Israel.

We’re projecting it again.  Our news insists we’re bogged down in racial acrimony.  At least in our part of the woods, that’s not the case.  People are polite and everyone seems to get along with each other just fine.  But that’s apparently not the case in some big-city neighborhoods.   It was only a week or so ago that white supremacy was announced to be the greatest “threat to America.”  We’ve yet to see any evidence of the claim, but what do we know?  Was that white supremacists looting the stores, burning buildings and taunting the police?  Just asking.

But the purported president has gone to Europe for the G-7 meetings and assured the assembled dignitaries that America First policies are a thing of the past.  There’ll be no more of that racist, homophobic, xenophobic, trying to save the country nonsense.  The transformers are back in power, even if they don’t have the most persuasive public speaker carrying their water.  It is safe once again for the world to crack down on everything in our lives, and you know, finish the job that Obama started.

Maybe we can have two problems that are the greatest threat to our nation.  Because this week the teleprompter claimed that global warming is the biggest threat.  We haven’t recovered from the worst freeze Texas has seen for at least forty years, and already we’re supposed to be glum about global warming.  Apparently little will change in Texas.  Nobody even wants to talk about the complete failure of windmills and solar panels in such an event, so they’re just going to “weatherize” some existing power stations and hope we don’t have blackouts this summer.

We’re hearing all kinds of tough talk out of the Texas governor about addressing the situation at the border, but you can see current video of hundreds wading the Rio Grande right now.  There’s talk of finishing the wall, of sending all manner of law enforcement to the border to deal with the situation, but here they come, hundreds at a time.  They insist the only reason we balk at the idea of the entire population of the poverty-stricken masses entering our society is our xenophobia.  But have you seen what it’s like where these people come from?  Pick any of those countries.  Violence is an everyday occurrence.  The drug cartels murder everybody that gets in their way, at the drop of a hat.  Of course there are shootouts, murders, kidnappings, constantly.

Maybe we’re concerned about people that have no compunction about the kind of brutality they’re used to where they come from.  Some of them may have been involved in it.  We’re supposed to have all kinds of empathy for people who are not wired the same way as people who’ve learned to operate in a civilized society.  Better not watch any of the crime shows on TV, or you might see evidence of the fact that many new arrivals have no conscience.  None.  Maybe there will be progress, but so far all we’ve heard is talk.  For Governor Abbot’s sake, there better be some progress.

They’re still screaming about the Coronavirus.  It cannot be allowed to rest.  No, we’re being told that we’ve already surpassed last year’s death toll.  Some universities and hospitals have announced that only those who can show proof of vaccination will be allowed on campus or at work.  Lawsuits will be flying, and already are.  It seems that there is no exemption even for those who’ve already had the sickness and recovered.  Has a study been done on them?  Apparently not.  Meanwhile, there are no exceptions!  At least not until some of these court cases play out.  Let’s hope the justices are not corrupt, something that we can’t take for granted these days.

Probably the biggest blow to the Corona scare squad has been the ignominy that has overtaken the good doctor responsible for much of the destructive insanity of the past year.  It’s amazing that it took this long to uncover some of his writings and communications.  He was pushing for these “gain of function” experiments that most reputable outlets now agree must have “escaped the lab.”  So Fauci is panicked.  What other explanation could there be for him proclaiming himself tantamount to “science.”

The damage done to our trust in “science” is enormous.  Science was supposed to be knowledge that was constantly tested.  We never knew one guy could just stand (started to say tall) and say that he is “science,” and therefore not to be trifled with.  But the revelations are coming, despite the so-called administration’s defenses and most of the mainstream media’s blindness.

There’s no point in worrying over the worst-case scenarios, and no doubt they would be permanently ruinous.  But they may well not get away with all that they plan.  They can do tremendous damage, and the deep state already has.  But it’s not over by a long shot.  We’re still here, and regardless of how often our devices tell us that “gay pride is UNIVERSAL,” that we long ago accepted that evolution is responsible for all that we are and all life that we see on earth, some of us still believe in God.  The global warming claim is about as trustworthy as when Al Gore said he invented the Internet.  They haven’t stamped us out and they won’t, no matter the proclamation or edict.  A little rebellion against the forces of evil may be required going forward.

Now that incalculable damage has been visited upon the entire western world and wannabe dictators have abused the citizens of the States they govern…now that thousands of businesses have been forced to declare bankruptcy or simply close for good…after people have been banned from social media platforms for having swallowed “conspiracy theories” and tried to alert others…might the truth finally be gaining some traction?

It’s starting to look like China is calling all the shots here in the United States.  Celebrities are making fools of themselves apologizing for saying anything with which the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) disagrees.  Like for instance, Taiwan is a country.  That could hurt your income big time, pal.  They don’t mind accusing Americans and the United States of every conceivable thought crime.  It’s in their financial interests.  Many, if not most of us, are NOT watching athletes taking a knee or raising their fists to signal racial something or other.  Their owners, managers and teammates could care less how it affects the American audience.

The sports franchises have figured out that the audience in China is much, much larger and the money to be made is out of this world.  They dare not say anything that might offend the masters of their financial future.  It used to be a crime to sell out your country for personal profit.  Now it’s business as usual.  The NBA and the NFL don’t mind abusing the American audience, claiming we’re all full of privilege, born racist or whatever may be the current mainstream “logic.”  In the long run, they don’t need us.  Who cares if they’re playing to empty stadiums.  The communists don’t mind.

What about the virus?  Was it not created intentionally?  Why does the top bio-weapons expert in China work at the Wuhan lab?  Why are they studying bat diseases in the first place?  Why are we STILL subsidizing this with our tax dollars?  To add insult to injury, the diminutive M. D. has finally, inadvertently admitted he’s not so sure the virus sprang from nature!  He probably hated himself while walking out of the hearing where he was nailed down on that.  After several heated public exchanges with Rand Paul where he dodged around and then went on fake news programs to wonder what’s wrong with that guy, the genius has finally admitted that he’s not so sure the virus is “natural.”

Not only that, it was AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS funding weird, dangerous “experiments” in China.  That part isn’t, and never was, in dispute.  What’s the meaning of that?  What on earth!?!

So the brilliant little doctor has gone from being the world’s foremost expert on how to avoid contracting this Chinese concoction to trying to convince us that he wasn’t responsible for funding it.  But he’s not given up lecturing us about masks and lock-downs.  No, no.  Some of these governors, you know who they are, are still keeping the charade alive based on his pronouncements, even though ALL of them have violated their own orders and been caught repeatedly.

Do we really love our entertainment so much that we can’t be bothered to notice when the communists in China commit a crime of the Coronavirus magnitude?  If you believe in any of the information the mainstream forbids, you know of the business connections between the imposter’s son and Chinese officials.  Maybe you’re not crazy after all.  Whatever the next move is, assuming Western civilization survives this one, will be explained to the satisfaction of no one by the redhead and subservient media.

How long must we pretend that our worst enemies are “friendly?”  They may have instigated the destruction of our currency, all while shaking hands and backstabbing.  Speaking of the dilution of the dollar, the White House is releasing its budget today.  SIX TRILLION DOLLARS?  That pretty well blows past the two trillion that blew our minds and the profligate allocations since.  It’s as if every individual is becoming dependent on checks from the Treasury, and they’ll brainwash your kids for you too.  It’s part of the curriculum to inform the little tykes of their inherent racism while they’re learning to count.

We fervently hope that God hasn’t just given us over to the socialist, and likely fraudulent, destruction underway.  It’s starting to look that way, but be reminded that it’s looked that way before, and there just might be surprises ahead.  Say a prayer.

EXCLUSIVE: Teachers from San Diego Unified School District are teaching migrant children in-person before their own students get to experience in-person learning, Fox News has learned.

SDUSD students are currently learning in an online-only format and are expected to move into a hybrid model on April 12, where they will be learning in a combination of in-person and online formats, according to the school district’s website.

SAN DIEGO PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS OFFERED ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE’ TRAINING

“We have 130,000 kids who haven’t been allowed in a classroom for over a year in the San Diego United School District. It’s great that there’s in-person learning for those unaccompanied minors from Central America, but I wish every child in San Diego Country was allowed the same opportunity for in-person teaching,” San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond told Fox News.

“The system is broken when San Diego teachers are teaching migrant children in person, but the 100k students of taxpaying families at San Diego Unified School District are stuck learning in Zoom school,” Emily Diaz, an SDUSD parent, told Fox News in an email.

SAN DIEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT OVERHAULS GRADING SYSTEM TO COMBAT RACISM

“We agree that every child deserves an in-person education, but why are taxpaying students put last? If this is a humanitarian issue then who is rescuing San Diego Unified students, because our leaders have failed them,” Diaz. added.

SDUSD spokeswoman confirmed to Fox News that district has shared the information about the opportunity for teachers to volunteer teaching migrant children in-person during their spring break this week, but said she doesn’t know if teachers are getting paid, saying that it’s up to the county.

The spokesperson added that she does not know if teachers will be reimbursed for their expenses.

The good news is that we observed the Feast of Tabernacles at all planned locations, save California, which apparently is still in “lockdown,” per the all-knowing governor’s orders.  Services were still held on the Holy Days at an undisclosed location.  Not many churches are claiming Constitutional protection, thinking it safer to cooperate with the local “authorities,” lest preachers be hauled away in handcuffs.  We don’t want to sue or see anyone arrested, but we will obey the mandates from on High long before some governor, drunk on his own “authority.”  These vain dictators never wielded this kind of power before, but they’re clearly enjoying telling everyone what they can and can’t do.  Constitution?  What Constitution!

Incredible news broke this week which suggests the foreign policy interests of the United States have been sold for a relative pittance, in relation to the actual stakes at hand.  Not once, but several times.  That is, unless all the documents and photographic evidence are false.  The social media giants have gone full 1984 this week, behaving now as the “Ministry of Truth.”  They’ll decide what’s true or false.  Their subscribers are simply not qualified to make such judgments and must be protected from all information that disputes the carefully crafted narrative that all mainstream media outlets embrace.  Geeks peering through thick lenses, having worked hand in glove with the most woke of politicians, have determined that their narrative must be protected from any and all information that might undermine what they’ve decided we must believe.

It’s not just the twits at Twitter or the self-righteous frauds at Facebook.  The big three on-air networks have paid zero attention to the bombshell news, backed up by voluminous (were talking tens of thousands) e-mail communications and documents.  No, this stuff might be made up to do damage their darling just weeks away from the most important election in history.  No way the mainstream networks or tech titans can allow distribution of information that might not be accurate!

Maybe they think we forgot about the misery they drowned us in with their Russian Collusion nonsense.  How many years have we suffered false “information” from the news media and the tech geeks?  They pumped it out 24/7, making certain no one on planet earth could avoid their non-stop crusade to convince us all that our President was a puppet of the Russians.  They purportedly had him black-mailed and all policy decisions were crafted on the basis of what was good for Russia!  Russia!  Russia!  After years of investigations by some of the most dedicated political types imaginable, the only thing they came up with was egg on their faces.  But the bad actors still appear on friendly outlets to demand that their accusations were accurate.  They don’t get their accounts frozen for sliming the United States or the President.  That’s approved for distribution, true or otherwise.  Mostly otherwise.

You can’t even watch the news anymore.  The mainstream media, as if with one voice, has determined that the time to panic is NOW.  The pandemic is setting records, they tell us every day.  There’s a new outbreak!  There are “clusters!”  More people are infected than ever before, and you better OBEY and fall in line before we’re all dead!

It has to be the height of irony that the very organizations that first told us masks were useless (like trying to stop a mosquito from flying through a chain-link fence), then demanded mask mandates, are busy clarifying their positions.  This week a CDC official insisted the agency had never suggested that masks provide any protection to one wearing the mask.  The mask you are wearing only provides a modicum of protection to others if you are sick!  That’ll be news to the masked population.  Another shocking bit of news that somehow slipped through the media cracks is that 85% of all who got infected wore masks nearly all the time.  Whether that information been cleared by the mainstream Ministry of Truth, we’ll have to see.  It would seem to indicate that masks aren’t much (if any) help, and you know they won’t let that stand.

We’re going to come under more pressure in the weeks and months ahead.  In addition to the mandates and regulations handed down so far by state “authorities,” there will be calls for a vaccination “MANDATE.”  The vaccine debate has already proven to be one of the most emotional subjects in play.  Those who believe in their effectiveness are utterly dismissive of those who believe they’ll make you sick, and visa versa.  You think the disagreements so far have been heated?  Just wait ’till a vaccine against the dreaded COVID-19 comes available.  The gloves will really come off.

When you consider the recent past, and the fact that every good and decent tradition known to man was being subjugated to the dictates of political correctness, it seemed that EVIL had won.  The miracle of Western freedom would be squelched for the “greater good” of all mankind.  The hard-earned wealth of freedom would be redistributed around the world in the name of equality and fairness.  It just wasn’t FAIR that free people had prospered, while those under socialist/communist systems went hungry in their poverty.  The only FAIR thing to do was “level the playing field.”  In other words, make the West poor in the name of equality.  The justification was that we’re all a bunch of racists anyway, and the whole prosperous West deserved to be destroyed in retribution.

We’re not facing an election.  We’re facing a revolution!  The media, the large corporations, even the sports franchises have determined that we’re all a bunch of racists in a racist “system,” and that we can either admit they’re right or face the consequences.  They’ve taken off their masks.  Those of us who are swimming upstream must be banished from society so they can build a new system based on fairness, equality and all the other balderdash of political correctness.  It’s Marxist philosophy, it’s not new.  This is merely the latest invocation of the nonsense of the ’60s and the ’90s.  But this time they’ve got their ducks in a row with the media, entertainment and corporate giants all preaching from the same manifesto.

It took a miracle to save the Western world from what would have been a death-blow the last time around.  We’re going to need another one unless every bit of blight imaginable is to dictate the futures of those we love.  On the other hand, we might just slide into a modern French Revolution.  It may be our last chance to take a stand against a totalitarian future.  May God’s Will be done.
