Wasn’t fake Doctor Jilly stabbed 4 or 5 x? How did she get the Rona if she was stabbinated? I assume she will rush out for the booster to save herself… I recall that she and her criminal husband tested positive for Rona during the plandemic more than once as well. What a theatre and pantomine the Rona fascism is. As with Doris Johnson’s fake near death act. Ugly actors pretending.

The whole mask wearing thing is all about fear, control and compliance.
A question to which I have never heard a satisfactory answer is: “If you are wearing your magic mask, why should it matter if I am not wearing one?”

That’s because COVID masks, also emphatically known as covmas, are advanced SF technology: They’re one-way physical barriers which stop viruses arriving on the inside from passing to the outside but not the other way round. Why people who are technologically so much more developed than we that they can create physical barriers which act only in one direction didn’t create two way physical barriers which would have been both easier and more practical is beyond our feeble minds to understand! But we must trust The Science™ as handed down from our wise ancestors and never question it!

Of all the answers to that question that I have ever heard or read in the past three and a half years, not ONE of them satisfies Occam’s Razor.

Saying that it is no panacea suggests that it might have certain limited benefits. Mask wearing does not have any benefits but the deleterious effects on health have been well documented. Aside from the absurdity of putting a dirty mask in your pocket, on and off your face several times and this is suppose to be an infection control measure? I would say don’t address these people as if you’re on good faith terms with them because appeals to rationality are evidently futile. In order to attack this force you need to see that the masses need a talisman and the totalitarians love this yearning. These dependencies can be severed by implication if you discredit other parts of the agenda. But you won’t be able to pierce through to the frightened and you shouldn’t try because they will always find something to be frightened about and are utterly useless in a difficult situation.

Common sense (out of vogue) tells us that masks reduce oxygen, force inhalation of Co2 (oh no not the dreaded toxin) and carcinogens. The magic flying virus is 0.3 microns or less in size and happily passes through the diaper in or out. Anyone who wears a diaper is a swivel eyed moron and a dangerous one at that.

Indeed, masks are to viruses as chain link fences are to mosquitoes. And rebreathing the body’s own “exhaust fumes” hardly sounds the least bit healthy at all. Just goes to show how gullible the masses are.

Not seen any round my way but we are experiencing ‘global boiling’ temps of 30+degs this week, which may be too much even for the masktard muppets. I feel it’s my moral obligation to point at and ridicule anyone I see with one because if I don’t react at all then that’s a win for them because I’m basically normalizing their madness. So I think we owe it to ourselves to take the p*ss out of the munters because it’s all for the greater good. I typed a lot of words when really a meme could suffice..

It wwill bite hard and nasty this autumn on many levels. Interest rise alone put about 800,000 mortgage holders at risk and that is without considering the concommitant decline. Not to mention the renters forced onto the streets. And then of course there is no exit strategy for the West. And nothing left to underwrite the system should it go kaput. You need to be ready for a reality both nasty and beautiful. And of course there is no beauty without danger or risk.

As long as you don’t give two hoots about dying then you’re good to go. And of course there are many things worse than death. And honestly I don’t say this as a matter of faith I can say that you are coming back so there is every point in refining this life and this reality.

Don’t look at these matters like they are spectator sport. They call it fifth dimensional warfare. We don’t have the resources to keep up but we have the fine old English art of taking the piss. Understand that if we reconnect with the realm of the spirit they would be wiped out in an instant.

You have to seriously ask yourself, what are you hoping that might happen in the future. For me I came to this country as a small child and it was such a beautiful transformation from where I lived before it was truly magical. Old ladies in turbans and young lads who worked in the motorbike factory. For me I jujst worry about the credulity of our countrymen and I wish that there was some way to break through this. One of the aspects of modern warfare is undertstanding on a granular level of the bonds that exist between people. How can you fight back against such an attack? There are things that this force can never comprehend we need to rediscover these.

This isn’t some indeterminate point in the future that we are discussing the attack is full bodied and relentless. I am not an aggresive person I am just telling you we are moving into the time of the wolf.

The whole point of our country is that it is a bit different and at the same time in tune with the highest reality. My point is that for us in Britian we could easily be the first country that re-establishes contact with the realm of the spirit. Trust me the yearning is there.

How can you hang half in and half out of the reality to come. If your wealth is predicated on what went before. There is no wise money now don’t go looking for safe havens. We should consider circumstances and how we are going to react. Don’t assume that these easy channls of communication will be here forever.
