    It all makes perfect sense. This 5 minute video is a must watch for all. It will help make things a little clearer for you.

    These people are asking us to believe they are concerned about the safety and efficacy of a drug that has been used with absolutely nothing but mild adverse effects over BILLIONS of doses administered over 40 years, when used on a disease with e 99.991% survival rate, in a country where ivermectin is already in use as an anthelminic for a huge percentage of the population, having not applied the same criteria to acetaminophen/paracetamol, a drug with a significant LD50. Arguably the three most important and useful drugs to the human race developed over the last 150 years are aspirin, penicillin, and ivermectin. And this bitch is worried about the safety and efficacy of using it to treat a disease that doesn't kill anybody unless they are already dying anyway.

    Why might that be? I think I know:



    Like remdesivir and unlike ivermectin, it will be very expensive and make the company lots and lots of money.




    The entire world is being ruled by psychopaths. This is a horror movie.
    Yes, they are psychopaths and narcissists, and it appears they are willing to do anything to retain and increase their power. To them, it's a big game of get rich quick and long chess.

    We're the sacrificial pawns in this sick game. They've got the full force of the world's strongest military to assure they win.

    Next up:

    Infrastructure/grid failures

    Food and supply shortages, massive inflation

    Internet blackout

    Livestock "diseases"

    "Global warming" to prevent us from depleting "their resources"

    I wouldn't be surprised if "alien invasion" isn't in play if we don't succumb to their wishes.

    And eventually, WW3 since the media/military/industrial complex likes wars to make lots of money and cull the populations.

    They took great notice of Covid hysteria submission, and were probably thrilled and surprised that the mania they created was so successful in dividing us and making people afraid to live a normal life.

    That's because you're projecting your thought process onto others. Most people are idiots and they need to be herded. You don't need to convince them of anything. In fact they cannot be rationally convinced of anything. If the good guys refuse to herd people because of delusions about everyone's rational individuality, someone else will, and that someone else will win.

    Frightening that we are witnessing this on a global scale...

    Well stated. I'm afraid you are correct.

    Amazing, that this would come as a shock to any intelligent person.

    The most heavily regulated economic sector in the US, and in the rest of the first world, is the financial services sector. Only the pharmaceutical industry comes close. Surely you are aware of this, so why argue with me about it?

    Point taken, and agreed.

    I was extremely vocal about what I thought was really going on at the beginning of this debacle. In person, not social media or forums.

    I quickly learned that I was vastly outnumbered by sheep who had no capability of having an honest conversation about WTH is going on.

    So, I disengaged from society for the past year, and tried to figure out what to do about it

    Now that things are opening back up after the objective has been achieved, I still find little interest in reengaging with those who view me as the enemy.

    The f'n masks just broke all my faith in humanity... And those idiots wearing masks while driving alone in their cars, well that sealed the deal.

    Fools, like me, almost tolerated the first pandemic relief bill. While I never bought into the disease bs, I could see the insane conditions of local and personal economies, like laid off hospital workers. We knew there would be a lot of fraud, (10%?) but accepted the cost of the system as sheep always do.

    But it was followed by 3 more relief bills! Now they are giving away millions for getting vaccines. It’s like watching deranged macaques flinging feces for fun. It’s conceivable that the fraud exceeds the 50% cited in the article.

    Yep, through Blackrock Financial I believe.

    Hey, Abbott did a thing! He must be watching poll numbers closely, now.

    If this continues, I may have to reconsider policing the border. And Texas. Rip, what do you think?
