Black people tend to have a more realistic view of the bullshit coming from "authority" figures like Fraudulent Fauci.

That's because they know the establishment has exempted them from the same scrutiny that they give White people that might vote Pro America polices.
They have been used to gaslight the race war the Left so desperately craves. The quickest way to a Civil division and unrest is through double standards of enforcing rules and laws.

They have heard enough bullshit to recognize it when they hear more.

Yet they re-elected Maxine Waters.

Talking to a couple of people in the hood about surviving the jab, they are full on board with the psychosomatic effect that they now have 'nothing to worry about'. One lady said, "Look, isn't it wonderful we can talk without masks now?" I guess she never got the memo that the vaccines don't prevent you from getting whatever Covid is out there, or the TPTB will NEVER release the tyrannical mask conformity mandate, or that the 'gateway jabs' are just the beginning of 'perpetual jabs' to put whatever they want into your system.

Inflict the fear and terror, then offer a Globalist biologic experiment as antidote to the fear. The coming year will be 'interesting'. For an insane and unfounded fear, they will take an insane and unfounded vaccine.

I survived it too, has almost been a week!! any minute I dont drop dead is worth celebrating. And not even dementia yet!!!

I didn't take it and won't die from covid anyway. So there's that. It's statistically impossible. And that's IF you trust the manipulated data regarding cases and deaths and your typical flu disappearing. If you're under 50, there's basically zero reason to take this. You'll die from a plethora of other causes before covid.

Sad state of affairs when people think you NEED a vaccine for the flu. It will become endemic and you WILL get Covid-19 at some point regardless of vaccination. I'd rather just let my body do its thing. No interest in manipulating my body for the common cold and give big pharma money. Everyone is entitled to do what they want, but at some point logic is a thing.

Yeah, I'm still not seeing a need to get this injection (not a vaxx) for a virus with a 99.9% survival rate. I don't live in fear over a cold.

People like Bitcoin get the shot, then feel some sort of mental relief from prison that this shot will provide physical and mental freedom from masks and distancing etc... If that makes him feel better, that's great, but 20 bucks says he still has a strap on his face and still isn't traveling.

People like me don't even own a mask because it seemed stupid as hell from the start. I've been gathering with large groups of people 30-75 at a time since the beginning, because:

1) The gov't can't eliminate your first amendment rights
2) A fake pandemic isn't going to keep me from seeing my family/friends
3) I'm active. I like to travel, surf and do things. I'm not going to sit in my house all day
4) Active/fit people have virtually zero chance of dying from this bullshit
5) The CDC/media was trying to rewrite hundreds of years of medical literature in a week to get people to stay 6 feet and wear a mask, despite lack of evidence.

Remember how the gov't was talking about rationing the vaccines due to high demand? Anyone can get one. ANY FUCKING BODY AT ANY FUCKING TIME.

There is NO DEMAND for this shit.

Months ago, I had two friends (in their early 30's) walk in to Walmart (in Nashville) and get a shot because Walmart was going to throw them away since nobody was taking them. Some of my brainwashed friends in CA who are young and healthy, got theirs months ago as well.

The gov't/media was pushing " vaccine scarcity" for a while, thinking that would entice people to get one - nope. People don't want the shit.

Funny, I went down to Melbourne, FL last week. On the way down, a big electronic sign said ALL GA residents 30 and over were welcome to get a shot. On the way back, it say 16. FUCKING 16 YEARS old.

Everyone can get a shot now, there is no scarcity. People don't want it. 50% of healthcare workers and 40-50% of active duty military have declined this bullshit.

Shocking Study Reveals mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines May Progressively Degenerate Your Brain From Prion Disease
April 10, 2021
A shocking study has revealed the terrifying dangers of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines inducing prion-based disease causing your brain to degenerate progressively. The mRNA vaccine induced prions may cause neurodegenerative diseases because long-term memories are maintained by prion-like proteins. The study concluded that mRNA based vaccine may also cause ALS, front temporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological degenerative diseases in the vaccine recipients.

I know lots of idiots in MA who took the Pfizer shot.

I told 'em that helping a local company (FYI, the Pfizer facility which made this is in Andover MA near Rte 93) isn't being Patriotic.

mRNA vaccines make you masturbate to porn, paranoid on the web, stop going to Church and play computer games to excess.

Haha, if it turns out that these "vaccines" really do reduce life expectancy, I hope you remember as you go through successive degenerative states, that you think it's absolutely impossible and insane to believe that 9/11/2001 was done by the same people who pushed out this bullshit "vaccine".

I have a hard time imagining that we're going to have a die off event though, because that will create a revolution. I also have a hard time believing that they would be so stupid as to kill people with a vaccine when it's so much easier just to develop a virus first, develop a completely effective vaccine for it, then release the virus. THAT they could get away with.

Here's the source https://greatgameindia.com/mrna-vaccines-degenerate-brain-prion/. Take everything you see on the Internet with a grain of salt. I'm doubtful of this being true, but it would be funny if it was.

The truth is usually always somewhere in the middle. And even if it's only 5% true it will be far more devastating for those suffering from it than not having taken the vaccine, amd given the large amount of peope it has been pushed upon to will create more death and suffering that Covid ever has. As said before the emergency biological agent may make sense for a sub population of maybe 20%-30% to take, where the benefits outweigh the risks, but certainly not more.

that will be impossible. "experts" say that we get dementia within 6months of taking the vaccine. In 5 1/2month I wont remember my name and that I ever took the vaccine.

WineHorror1 says

Is there proof that they do not vaccinate their children? Or if they do so at a substantially lower rate then the rest of the country?

It's very well known that the Amish do not vaccinate their children. I grew up near Amish country. They are genetically isolated as a community as well and they shun a LOT of stuff. There's different groups, some use batteries for example, but they are all independent, and if society really collapses, they will be fine.

They have been (perhaps incorrectly) used as a control group to compare disease rates because they aren't vaccinated (not absolutely positive NO Amish groups avoid vaccinations, but most do) but the studies are flawed since they are genetically isolated so there are two variables there.

That's great! Restaurants were only open for take out here.....so, I had to pick it up and save money on tipping. We did go to other states in the past 12 months but not overseas.
I spent lots of time walking the doggy, biking and hiking. A new personal record in biking miles :)

Let's say this does happen.

For one, I'll be entirely vindicated as being suspicious of our governments. That's a positive.

The negative is most of my family will be dead. Between 2 and 4 of us will be alive out of about 100 people. My cousin is equally suspicious as I am, and better educated (he spent a year in Poland getting a physics degree BEFORE Poland was independent of the USSR), the others are likely to be his sister and his brother. My immediate family will all be dead since I just can't get them to wake up.

It will leave a much more skeptical, suspicious and cynical group of survivors. That would be a positive. It's extremely selfish of me I realize, but I'm sick and tired of living among Bozos that don't know anything, and dismiss anything I claim simply because I'm telling them "no really, the government is LYING about this, they're not making a mistake!" 20 fucking years that.

Again, I doubt our masters are stupid enough to go this route. Again, it's much easier to take a known virus and do gain of function on it to wipe out the population. Ideally you want a disease that infects you with little or no symptoms, then kills you years later. If HIV was airborne, it would have wiped out 90% of humanity in 10 years. No vaccine for it though. That's really an insidious disease - first symptoms of infection is like a mild cold or flu, then it destroys your immune system.

Still - there's this:

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. REGN announced positive data from a late-stage study (2069B) of recently infected asymptomatic COVID-19 patients, which is evaluating the antibody cocktail REGEN-COV (casirivimab with imdevimab) 1,200 mg administered via subcutaneous (SC) administration.

The phase III study enrolled 204 individuals without any COVID-19 symptoms who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 but did not have anti-virus antibodies at baseline and were randomized to receive either 1 dose of REGEN-COV (1,200 mg) or placebo.

The cocktail reduced the overall risk of progressing to symptomatic COVID-19 by 31% (primary endpoint), and by 76% after the third day. Data also showed that REGEN-COV shortened symptom duration and markedly reduced viral levels. The study met all primary and key secondary endpoints. Moreover, the total number of weeks for which patients experienced symptoms was nearly cut in half (45%) with REGEN-COV, and the viral burden was reduced by more than 90%.

Separately, Regeneron also announced that the phase III study (2069A) evaluating the ability of REGEN-COV to reduce the risk and burden of COVID-19 infection among household contacts of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals met its primary and key secondary endpoints. The phase III double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the effect of REGEN-COV on uninfected individuals without anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies or any COVID-19 symptoms, who lived in the same household where an individual has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 within the prior four days. The study enrolled 1,505 people who were not infected with SARS-CoV-2 at baseline and randomized to receive either 1 dose of REGEN-COV (1,200 mg) or placebo, administered as SC injections.

Results of the study showed that REGEN-COV 1,200 mg administered SC reduced the risk of symptomatic infections by 81% in those who were not infected when they entered the trial. REGEN-COV rapidly protected household contacts from exposure to SARS-CoV-2 at home, with 72% protection against symptomatic infections in the first week and 93% in subsequent weeks.

Then you said the IRS targeted you because you donated to Ron Paul. Now, you reference that we will see massive deaths in the US due to the vaccine (reduction to 100M Americans in the next 4 years).

your first story ("drop a bag here" basically meant, the people prepping the WTC didnt know what they were doing and its very easy to demolish buildings like the WTC),

Again, it's an example. I'm pointing out that people that are part of a conspiracy do not need to know what their mission is, only what their job is. Again, this is why when you work in intelligence, you are often fire-walled between other people doing other work. Do you think the people doing Project MKUltra realized what they were ultimately a part of? Agents were slipping in drugs into drinks to observe behavior - there's at least ONE suicide due to that, do you think the people who were doing this, knew what the drug was, what the ultimate goal was, that they were working with ex-Nazis who were trying to figure out a way to do mind control?

Bitcoin says

then you said we have no free speech because snowden is living in Russia.

We don't have free speech because if I fucking say the election was stolen on any major platform, I'm censored. I have to continually correct you because you seem to not understand any context.

How do we have free speech when you can be deplatformed or censored by pointing out that George Floyd was on drugs? Because people are.

Snowden is just ONE example of what happens when you expose criminality within our government. Assad is another. Bill Binney another - I talked about all of them, MULTIPLE times with you.

Bitcoin says

Then you said the IRS targeted you because you donated to Ron Paul.

Second time I've had to "correct you" on this:

richwicks says

I can't know for certain, I said:

richwicks says

I donated the federal maximum to Ron Paul's campaign in 2008. Then I got accused of cheating on my taxes by the IRS in 2009. What a coincidence.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, I know I didn't have any errors on my taxes. When I contacted the IRS, they immediately closed the case. That made me feel like they were trying to intimidate me.

Bitcoin says

Now, you reference that we will see massive deaths in the US due to the vaccine

No, I didn't.

You did, when you said this:

Bitcoin says

it was nice to be alive. Now that I have gotten the J&J shot, my life will go downhill very fast. Until then, I will take my wife on more dates now that restaurants are opening up.

I said, IF that was true, it would be ironic, since you don't think there is any possibility that 9/11 was in any way connected to our government and furthermore you stated:

Bitcoin says

If you believe the US government would kill its own people you should join the jihadists.

Well the US government sure didn't have a fucking problem with killing off JFK, doing the Tuskegee Trials, doing Project MKUltra, or letting people die at the US Consulate in Benghazi Libya. Certainly didn't have a problem ordering police to stand down, and let BLM and Antifa burn, loot, and murder for 8 months. Funny that all just went away after Joe Biden was "elected" isn't it? Well, they were part of US intelligence operations, although I'm absolutely certain (well know for a fact) that most of the useful idiots don't realize they were. See? You don't have to realize you're part of a conspiracy to be part of a conspiracy.

Bitcoin says

You went too far down the rabbit hole. There is no end to the crazy stories you will share.....

I simply don't believe you're unable to take me within context, that you're constantly misconstruing my statements, that you go out of your way to avoid quoting me or referencing what I said, and that you have to be repeatedly corrected as to what I have said.

I don't think you have these problems, I just think you're dishonest. Either that, or you simply argue to "win" an argument. As I've said before, I don't tend to argue, I'll have a discussion - but it's you that makes me continually repeat myself because for some reason you keep misunderstanding what I've written, even when I correct you multiple times.

Bitcoin says

Ouch. You don't tip for carry out? During a "pandemic" where businesses could barely stay open and employees were/are struggling to make ends meet? Alright....

The British Medical Journal recently published an article covering RNA instability from leaked documents:

https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n627

It's a major issue for a number of reasons:

1) The EMA, MHRA, FDA nor Health Canada raised these issues (IE they failed in terms of public accountability, transparency, and oversight of safety) and it was only exposed due to a leak.

2) None of the health agencies would disclose RNA integrity levels of the batches, with the MHRA citing "commercial confidentiality". Corporate profits come before human health or transparency in reporting, apparently.

3) RNA integrity issues means spike proteins will likely misfold. Misfolded proteins have another name - prion disease. If you look at reports coming from Canada, reports of an unknown, new prion disease ('like mad cow disease') are emerging.

4) It implicates all mRNA shots, not merely Pfizer's. This includes Moderna's, CureVac and Imperial College London.

5) The responses to the data leak on the BMJ are in and of themselves damning. Pro-vaccine interests screech about illegality (ignoring their own abuses of the law and choosing selectively, I guess?), and neutral parties report similar issues in mRNA, including one citing an example of how mRNA dosages must vary between male and female (too high and it's fatal). Currently the shots are being treated as 'unisex' despite known variations.

(See: "Garde D. Lavishly funded Moderna hits safety problems in bold bid to revolutionize medicine")

6) RNA integrity differed greatly between clinical and commercial batches, with higher RNA integrity in clinical and lower in commercial batches. Meaning performance in clinical trials do not accurately reflect real world conditions.

7) Additional possible adverse impacts of misformed/collapsed spike proteins was not explored (EG possible autoimmunity/adapting immunity to the wrong shape of spike protein).

Both mainstream media and alternate media have been very quiet on this damning observation, with AstraZeneca thrown under the bus to distract from this much bigger hidden iceberg.

My favorite 5 restaurants (local, fuck those tasteless chains run by mindless zombies) seem to be doing a lot of takeout business. It looks like a lot of people have been let go as you don't need several waiters to handle take out only. Most have raised their prices a little. They generate an incredible amount of trash with all the containers.

I've mostly been tipping about 10 -15% for takeout. Typically 25% when we used to eat in. We eat at cheap places so $5 extra on a $20 Mexican dinner at the local taqueria is no big deal. These people work way harder than I do.

Throw them a couple bucks, they earn it and they are preparing your food.

Wife and I dined out at a local steakhouse several times last year when things were slower. We often tipped 40-50% (with good service of course) of our bill because:

1) How else is the server gonna get by?
2) The restaurants were so slow that there was no way they could make a living.
3) We can afford it, and we can use dining out to discuss business: business write off.
4) We enjoy being able to give.

I get your gripe with all the fees restaurants always want to upcharge you for. I generally tip 20%. Bad service I will tip, but there have been a few a-holes in the past that I've left nothing.

But we cook at home 99% of the time - all organic produce, and organic grass fed meats. It's hard to find that in local restaurants. Even "healthy" places to eat, generally aren't that healthy.

Anyways, I get it - but it's nice to give generously when you're able to.

And if you are healthy don't get the experimental biologic agent. It's not a vaccine, there are very effective treatments for this latest variant of the cold, and we have no idea of the intermediate and long term effects this experimental agent will have.

If your not healthy, get better or die so the rest of us can get back to life.

I agree but you're also not in CA anymore. The surcharges from various "ordinances" are just passed onto the consumer and are already around 15% of the base price, then add 10% tax onto it. I actually don't mind having more space in the restaurant, we had a really good experience due to the 25%-50% indoor dining rule, with an open door letting the breeze in and a room just filled with the right amount of parties to not get too crowded. I'm happy to pay for this experience. I also always tip the delivery people, but if I pick it up I rarely tip. Because the CA ordinances (aimed to aid the actual servers) for service apply regardless of full service or no-service take-out.
