    They couldn't do that, because "fat shaming" is bigoted, misogynistic and racist.

    How about a concurrent timeline? Why limit police-state powers to enforcing one or the other?

    I thought we might see more people doing what is right as the evidence became clear. Instead, the opposite has happened. Propaganda works. Police intimidate and threaten. Truth is irrelevant.

    MoveOn.org (The leftist machine "expert modeller" Neil Ferguson was in bed with) has its tentacles everywhere this time. They have local organizations in every state and western country I have looked at. They are named differently in each geographic region, but they are all the same beast. They do state their affiliations in their information pages. I have been seeing a very large effort from them: targeted intimidation of business owners, individuals and government officials who refuse to comply.


    In the end, people may need to feel more pain before they realize they cannot feign compliance or virtue-signal their way out of this. My gym is still alive and virtue-signalling, but I will not train there. They will be out of business unless they are able to successfully renegotiate their prior financial commitments.

    We can talk about the destruction of Western civilization, demography and facts and figures in a different thread, if you want? The UK census is coming out in 2021. There's a lot to delve into.
    Shiva doesn't care about the truth. He just wants to push an agenda.

    I am finding it hard to hold onto hope that rationality will eventually win out and we'll see all this for what it is/has become.

    Support of THIS group? It is to laugh.

    Shiva has toned it down a bit and has been helpful of late. May I propose we attempt reconciliation, or are we offering no quarter?

    Unfair to your competitors? Surely he doesn't mean the globo gyms that are in bed with the governments?

    Yeah that made me laugh. Its so obviously just a creative way to punish these businesses, like they are doing everywhere, since they are hesitant about throwing people in jail now.

    But I'll sleep well tonite knowing that we are all in this together. I know this because I saw a commercial saying so.

    I’ll second that motion. Not sure why the hate towards him is so strong.

    Like how humans travel in vehicles larger than them? And how humans who crash head first in these vehicles without a seatbelt go flying through the windshield? Which one of us is misunderstanding velocity? After all, a sneeze only travels at 100 mph.

    Here's a small but useful study done on sars-cov-2 and face masks. I'm surprised this wasn't posted here yet.

    "Of note, we found greater contamination on the outer than the inner mask surfaces."

    A 69 year old man in my community was cited yesterday. He has a pool/hot tub store with two locations. One of them was open and had customers in it. I’ve been in that store; it’s tiny. It couldn’t have had more than two customers in it. Probably just wanted to get their pool water tested and pick up some chemicals now that the weather is warming up.

    Back to the gym that opened up here in NJ. They cited five guys for working out plus the two owners. There are not enough four letter words in my vocabulary to describe the piece of shit, jack-booted thugs who call themselves Bellmawr PD.

    I keep seeing polls that say Herr Murphy has an approval rating of some 75% when it comes to his handling of the virus. That deeply depresses me, but on the other hand I don’t know a single person that actually approves of his handling of the situation. So I’m holding out hope that the polls are bullshit.

    Or maybe I’m just naive and we’ve crossed the Rubicon.

    An AdCouncil PSA.

    I’ve been impressed with how fast TV commercial content shifted to this mind control. Like, within a week, or days. Incredibly “dynamic” content that turned in a dime. And yet there is the inclination to take this ephemeral material as a fact of nature, as I’ve commented earlier. It is clearly, indisputably, mind control. What’s worse, it is self-imposed. Supposedly free agencies create this material.

    I will never forget this. Nor will I let my (young adult) children forget.
