“Mask Wearers of the World, Unite!”

“In everyone there is some willingness to merge with the anonymous crowd and to flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life. This is much more than a simple conflict between two identities. It is something far worse: it is a challenge to the very notion of identity itself.” ― Václav Havel
This past year-and-a half, did you “merge with the anonymous crowd” and “flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life”? Did you follow the flotilla of Pied pipers mesmerizing you with “the science”?
Did you socially distance, put on a mask, and have your business and office and church shut down? Did you believe that the PCR tests are accurate (Guess why there are so few cases of the flu reported)? Did you submit your body to be a lab experiment for the mRNA vaccines?
Did you go along with “the science” to get along? Did you go along with “the anonymous crowd” because, per the head mocker of the Biden regime, “if you’re not vaccinated, you’re not nearly as smart as I thought you were,”.
Do you now equate the loss of freedom and choice as a loss of your identity as a human? Or, are you still wanting “to flow comfortably along with it (the loss of your identity) down the river of pseudo-life”? Are you OK with diktats and lacking individual will? Are you OK supporting the automatism of a totalitarian system?
Now, you may say to me “it was out of fear of COVID that I persuaded myself to follow the mandates”, or, “It was out of fear of giving someone COVID that I submitted to the mandates’, or, “it was out of fear of litigation that I shut down my business, my church.”
Or, was it out of fear of thinking for yourself, acting individually, and rebuffing the diktats coming down from the bio-medical regime through the state media?

The alignment of the power – globalists, oligarchs, techno-utopians, politicians, the media, the Pope, and the forces of evil – against the powerless has been the impetus for my dissenting posts over the past year and-a half. I have opposed the schizophrenic CDC guidelines. I have opposed authoritarian mandates. I have opposed tyranny – including medical tyranny. I have opposed the lies being fed us. I have opposed the sowing of fear. And, I will oppose the Great Reset mandates – from the powerful to the powerless – coming our way.
What is coming our way is a thousand times more tyrannical than what we’ve seen the past year. The “river of pseudo-life” will flow with blood. If my words have seemed harsh, critical and uncompassionate, if it appears that I am calling out people for their past behavior, then please understand. This post is meant to be a wakeup call. It is meant to shake you out of a COVID-induced paralysis to face the growing nightmare.

As a nation, we didn’t start out stupefied and powerless. But over time we gave in to soft tyranny (Tocqueville). Out of fear, we have exchanged our freedom (and our identity) for false security.
Last century, for example, we accepted the New Deal and the tyranny of centralized planning – the welfare state and overreaching government. Wasn’t New Deal tyranny acceptance based on (economic) fear? Wasn’t New Deal tyranny acceptance also a “well-meaning” acceptance by the people?
Today, fearful and well-meaning people, have become OK with the hard-core tyranny of censorship. Those behind the Great Reset love these people. Behind the fascia of Build Back Better is (1984’s) Room 101: Besmirch Bludgeon Begone.
As we have seen, much of the country has fallen prostrate before mandates and “guidelines” out of fear of a so-called “public-health crisis”. Yet, COVID19 is a variation of the common cold and has a recovery rate of over 99.8 % for most people. Early outpatient treatment is recommended.
The American Journal of Medicine now (Jan. 2021) now (finally!) recommends Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc for the treatment of Covid 19 outpatients. Had this been the protocol used in Jan. 2020, many lives could have been saved. But the powerful – Anthony Fauci, the CDC, Francis Collins and the NIH, Bill Gates, and big pharma – had other plans for the American people.
There has also been fear of litigation if not abiding by the mandates and “guidelines”. Behind all the fear is the fear of disobeying the powerful alignment that stands against the powerless.
To assuage fears, there are those who have chosen to “merge with the anonymous crowd” and have chosen to live the (COVIDian) lies given them. They have chosen “to flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life”.
The COVIDian lies include the following:
Mask wearing is effective to stop the spread of COVID; not wearing a mask puts yourself and others at risk; children must wear a mask to school.
A group of physicians from Germany, Poland and Austria, concluded that the wearing of nose and mouth coverings by children leads to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in both inhaled and exhaled air while wearing a mask.
“We suggest that decision-makers weigh the hard evidence produced by these experimental measurements accordingly, which suggest that children should not be forced to wear face masks.”
Social distancing works to stop the spread of COVID; shutting down businesses and churches stops the spread of COVID.
(Idiotic. Distance yourself from the CDC.)
You need the vaccine to protect you from COVID. It is safe and effective.
You need the vaccine to protect yourself even if you have acquired immunity.
(The CDC and Big Pharma won’t talk about acquired immunity. They have a vaccine to sell.)
You need the vaccine to protect yourself. Other protocols don’t work.
(UK Researchers: Cheap Cholesterol Drug Reduces Covid-19 Infection by 70% (thegatewaypundit.com))
You need the CDC to tell you how to think about COVID.
You need Vitamins C and D, the mineral Zinc, exercise, sunshine and a good CDC-free doctor.
Do you realize that you now spend every waking hour thinking about what government wants and how it effects your freedom?

December, 1989. Václav Havel was elected president of Czechoslovakia. On New Year’s Day, 1990, he gave his first “state-of-the-nation” address to the country on national television.
“New Year’s Address to the Nation,’ January 1, 1990
“For forty years on this day, you heard, from my predecessors, variations on the same theme: how our country was flourishing, how many millions of tons of steel we produced, how happy we all were, how we trusted our government, and what bright perspective were unfolding before us.
I assume do did not propose me for this office so that I, too, would lie to you.
Our country is not flourishing. . ..
But all this is not the main problem. The worst thing is that we live in a contaminated moral environment. We fell morally ill because we got used to saying something different from what we thought. We learned not to believe in anything, to ignore each other, to care only for ourselves. Concepts such as love, friendship, compassion, humility, and forgiveness lost their depth and dimensions. . .. The previous regime . . . reduced man to a force of production and nature to a tool of production. . .. It reduced gifted an autonomous people to nuts and bolts in some monstrously huge, noisy, and stinking machine, whose real purpose was not clear to anyone. . ..
As I have observed the growing fascism under the alignment of the powerful with the Biden regime and its invocation of dystopia and dehumanization akin to what Havel described in his address, the title of Václav Havel’s 1978 essay, The Power of the Powerless, intrigued me.
The essay, among others found in The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central Eastern Europe, explain the features of Soviet-type totalitarian systems of power as compared to the West (A comparison soon to be invalid if people continue “to flow comfortably along . . . down the river of pseudo-life).
Havel’s description of “the post-totalitarian system” he is witness to is shockingly similar to current state of affairs in the U.S.:
“The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his or her ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.”
Havel’s “post-totalitarian state” of 70’s Communist Eastern Europe was totalitarian but radically different from the totalitarian dictatorships of Hitler and Mao. Havel’s biographer, John Keane, described Havel’s “post-totalitarian state” this way:
Within the system, every individual is trapped within a dense network of the state’s governing instruments. . .themselves legitimated by a flexible but comprehensive ideology, a “secularized religion”. . . .it is therefore necessary to see, argued Havel, that power relations. . .are best described as a labyrinth of influence, repression, fear and self-censorship which swallows up everyone within it, at the very least by rendering them silent, stultified and marked by some undesirable prejudices of the powerful.
Keane’s description brings us back to the epigram of this post. The “willingness to merge” statement is from The Power of the Powerless. It follows from the shop-keeper example and questions Havel poses:
The manager of a fruit-and-vegetable shop places in his window, among the onions and carrots, the slogan: “Workers of the world, unite!” Why does he do it? What is he trying to communicate to the world? Is he genuinely enthusiastic about the idea of unity among the workers of the world? Is his enthusiasm so great that he feels an irrepressible impulse to acquaint the public with his ideals? Has he really given much thought to how such a unification might occur and what it could mean?
What if the shopkeeper takes down his sign (takes off his mask) and begins to speak up?
Havel explores the potential of the “powerless” with an examination of the nature of power. Havel speaks of a profound crisis of human identity brought about by “living within a lie.” He speaks of political import: the individual’s moral choice for truth and in the creation of an independent life – a sphere of truth – for society even as every individual is trapped within a dense network of the state’s governing instruments. (I would add: The center of power is not the center of truth.)
(This essay has much to consider at this moment in time. It is available for download below.)
“If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless
*****
“In an era when metaphysical and existential certainties are in a state of crisis, when people are being uprooted and alienated and are losing their sense of what this world means, this ideology inevitably has a certain hypnotic charm. To wandering humankind it offers an immediately available home: all one has to do is accept it, and suddenly everything becomes clear once more, life takes on new meaning, and all mysteries, unanswered questions, anxiety, and loneliness vanish. Of course, one pays dearly for this low-rent home: the price is abdication of one’ s own reason, conscience, and responsibility, for an essential aspect of this ideology is the consignment of reason and conscience to a higher authority. The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central-Eastern Europe
“Truth must be integrated with love; morality is not whole without it. Love is the greatest strength of the powerless. Unity founded on love will never be coercion; power guided by love will never be violence. Love is all-powerful and will even overcome hatred. And only love can do this!”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central-Eastern Europe

This week I received the following message from my Illinois state representative:
Yesterday, Governor JB Pritzker issued a statewide mask mandate for K-12 students. In doing so, he superseded the decisions being made at the local level, and silenced the voices of students, parents, educators and administrators.
This authoritarian mandate is the latest attack on truth and humanity. As most people now know, masks are ineffective against the spread of COVID. Worse, as detailed above, masks are dangerous for children to wear. Do not send your children to school in masks. Masks are physically and emotionally harmful for children to wear. Defy the lie.
*****
Other lies we are told to accept:
Critical Race Theory (CRT)
America is a racist country.
If you are white you are racist.
Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. ((DEI) is meaningless virtue signaling of Woke ‘virtues.’ Consider that Chicago elected a DEI intersectional black-gay-woman as mayor. Chicago is referred to nationally by the shooting and killings that take place in its city limits. Chicago’s mayor Lightfoot, in her DEI capacity, absolves herself of any responsibility by saying “All roads lead to COVID.” Others like her say, “All roads lead to climate change.”
DEI is a tyrannical imposition on people and business and, for the most part, is racist in its application.)
The hugely priced Infrastructure Bill is about physical infrastructure. (The bill contains massive amounts of tax-payer money for social engineering. Its passage will place America’s children and grandchildren under a huge burden of debt, devalue the dollar and will expose America to its number one enemy – China.) Also, are you OK with having your mileage taxed?

(Over a loudspeaker) “Professor Smith, you’ve been brought to this college auditorium, not to deliver the lecture you’ve prepared, but to stand before the student body, your colleagues, alumni and the governing board to answer for your lack of unity with the people sitting in this room.
“Professor Smith, you would not be here if you were not guilty of something. We wouldn’t go after an innocent man. Face it. We know everything about you. But for every problem there is a solution, Professor Smith. I’m sure you can discover a solution!
“We are here to help you resolve the tension you now face. It’s up to you to explain yourself. If you confess you will be treated with respect.
“Professor Smith, we believe in the rule of many voices. One of your students, Mary, will read your crimes against the people in this auditorium. (Thunderous applause.)
(Mary, over the loudspeaker) “Professor Smith, you’ve liked tweets critical of coronavirus vaccines, gender-affirmation surgery and college diversity, equity and inclusion offices. (Loud Boos!)
“You’ve spoken in public forums against Critical Race Theory, diversity, equity and inclusion, environmental, social, and corporate governance, and LGBTQ+ books and drag shows in school libraries. (Loud Boos!)
“You’ve ridiculed the 1619 Project in opinion pieces. (Loud Boos!)
“On your Substack you have consistently denied that there is a climate change crisis. (Loud Boos!)
“You continue to question the validity of the 2020 election when speaking with your colleagues. (Loud Boos!)
“You are not one of us!” (The assembly, “NOT ONE OF US! NOT ONE OF US!”)
(Over the loudspeaker) “Thank you, student Mary. Now Smith, look at all those faces before you. Don’t you see that we are all in this together? Don’t you want unity?”
“I . . .I . . . I”
(Over the loudspeaker) “Every time you open your mouth, little man, nothing good comes out!”
(The assembly “SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!”)
(Over the loudspeaker) “We are respectable people Smith, but you . . . you are a reactionary, an extremist and deplorable.
“Understand this Smith. Your position and privileges will be taken away unless you renounce your wrong thoughts and come around to the correct way of thinking. Confess your thoughtcrimes and you will be respectable. You want to be respectable, don’t you Smith?”
“I . . .I . . . I”
(The assembly “SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!”)
(Over the loudspeaker) “Don’t you want to be respectable like doctors Collins and Fauci and like climate scientist Michael Mann?
“Don’t you want to be respectable like David French, Mike Pence, and Mitt Romney?
“Don’t you want to be respectable like everyone on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News? You could be respectable just like them. (Someone shouts “RESPECTABLE PEOPLE BUILD CONSESNSUS!)
“You hear that Smith? Why do you spread lies and toxic words that are contrary to what everyone here knows? (Loud Boos!) You want to fit in, don’t you Smith?”
“I’ve taught here over 40 years.”
(Over a loudspeaker) “Student Mary has told you that you do not fit in Smith. Let’s find out if you can.
“Do you accept that Joe Biden won the 2020 election?”
“There were irregularities.” (Loud Boos!)
(Over a loudspeaker) Do you still hold to the conspiracy theory that the election was stolen?
“Well . . . “
(The assembly “SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!”)
(Over a loudspeaker) Let Smith answer.
“Molly Ball said . . .”
“Words, Smith, just words. Don’t you care about our democracy!Your words don’t protect our democracy! (The assembly “PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY! “PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY!)
“We have a surprise for you little man. Bring out Lousie.” (Thunderous applause.)
“My neighbor?”
(The crowd shouts “SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!”)
(Over a loudspeaker) “Your neighbor Louise is respectable little man. She harbors no thoughtcrimes. Even better. She told us about conversations she had with your son.”
“My son? Louise? Why?”
(The assembly “SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!”)
(Louise, from a dark corner of the platform) “Professor your heart is not in the right place. We want to save you from yourself. This is as much for your family’s sake as anyone else’s. (Thunderous applause.) You don’t want to lose everything for the sake of some odd reactionary ideas, do you?”
(Over a loudspeaker) “We have another surprise for you Smith. Sitting in the audience is your banker Mr. Barrows. He’s a respectable man. He wants to do business only with respectable people. Will you join us in being respectable Smith?
(How did it come to this? If I resist, I will lose my position and even my bank accounts. I will lose everything I’ve built up over the years. My reputation! –what will happen if I resist? But if I confess and renounce everything I believe to be true then I can live to fight another day. Just not today. But if I do that, I put my life into their hands. Do I give them power and authority over my life for me to be called “respectable”? What would I become? Are my words just words? Oh God, what should I do?)

“That is not a crime. It is, in my view, protected political speech. Presidents routinely lie on matters great and small. Many of those lies cost citizens dearly, from “keeping your doctor” under ObamaCare to losing your life in Vietnam. Criminalizing lies in campaigns because of the spread of disinformation or disorder is a slippery slope that vests unprecedented power in the Justice Department.”

“These words did not sit well with local journalist Darya Sipigina, who was the first to publish videos from the sermon, along with a Facebook post in which she blasted Kurach’s words as “shocking.” “How is this even possible a year and a half [into the conflict]?” she asked in her post, while accusing the Uzhhorod Greek-Catholic Church of a lack of “respect for those who defend the Ukrainian land and die for it.”

“Possibly the most insane example of a Clown World struggle session was that inflicted on the staff of Sandia National Laboratories, a contractor involved in constructing America’s arsenal of nuclear weapons.
“These workers were subjected to a struggle session in the guise of diversity training, during which the white males on the staff were made to apologise for their white privilege. They were also made to acknowledge a connection between white male culture and mass killings. This closely mirrors how educated people were made to apologize for all the ills of the world during the Maoist struggle sessions.”

Struggle sessions or denunciation rallies were violent public spectacles in Maoist China where people accused of being “class enemies” were publicly humiliated, accused, beaten and tortured by people with whom they were close. Usually conducted at the workplace, classrooms and auditoriums, “students were pitted against their teachers, friends and spouses were pressured to betray one another, [and] children were manipulated into exposing their parents”.

Remember the two years of the COVID struggle session? The globalist overlords and are planning another pandemic/struggle session. And the Biden regime is going to soon announce a climate emergency – another struggle session.
A struggle session uses fear (fear of isolation is used among other tactics) to tear down perceived systems of power, e.g., whiteness, maleness, Christianity, tradition, science, so that only ideology and those in power remain. Power, not truth, is sought after these days. For, it is believed that power can decide what is true.
Acton Institute: Bishop Robert Barron speaking on “The Philosophical Roots of Wokeism.”
“I will argue in my presentation that “wokeism” is a popularization of critical theory, a farrago of ideas coming out of the French and German academies in the mid-twentieth century. Until we understand its origins in the thinking of Adorno, Horkheimer, Derrida, Marcuse, and Foucault, we will not know how critically to engage this dangerous philosophy.”

The following quotes are from Hypocrite hector by Anthony Daniels | The New Criterion
A review of White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo & How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.
“DiAngelo has apparently made a career of anti-racist struggle sessions in which ordinary employees of various organizations must confess publicly to their racism however hidden it might be, as university professors, primary school teachers, doctors working in slums, etc., had once in China to confess to bourgeois propensities and counter-revolutionary ideas. They may never have uttered a racist sentiment, they may never have been rude to a person of another race, let alone violent towards one, they may have friends of other races or even be married to a person of another race, but they carry racism deep within them like Original Sin, with this difference: there can be no redemption from it even after having read DiAngelo’s book and attended her struggle sessions.”
“One is reminded of the type of psychoanalysis which after thirty years of hourly sessions four times a week fails to get to the root of the analysand’s problem, let alone solve it, because it doesn’t even know what the problem is. But failure is also an opportunity, because, like psychoanalysis, the more anti-racist training fails, the more it is needed.”
“By demonstrating how bad a person she is, DiAngelo demonstrates how good a person she is. A story that she relates towards the end of her book illustrates to perfection her self-satisfaction and moral grandiosity that masquerade as confession of sin.”

“Apart from the massacres, deaths and famines for which communism was responsible, the worst thing about the system was the official lying: that is to say the lying in which everyone was forced to take part, by repetition, assent or failure to contradict. I came to the conclusion that the purpose of propaganda in communist countries was not to persuade, much less to inform, but to humiliate and emasculate.”
