Springfield Armory have announced the launch of a new line of red dot optics for pistols and rifles. The new HEX line launches with two new sights: the WASP, a micro red dot reflex sight designed for concealed carry pistols, and the DRAGONFLY, a standard size red dot which can be mounted on rifles and […]
I once heard a very interesting, if not somewhat grim, outlook on interpersonal conflict from a soldier I served with. Roughly remembered, it goes something like this: “All things being equal, tactical advantage goes to he who cares the least about what he cares about the most.”
I imagine this has to be the mindset of some social predators. The idea that not having loved ones in your life, or being so self-absorbed that you’re willing to cast them aside on a whim to serve your own desires and impulses, could be perceived as a type of “advantage” or “freedom” to act against others.
I’d like to think that most of you reading this can see past the shallow logic of such a mindset and have hit paydirt by understanding the long-term survival benefits of embracing a family/tribe lifestyle. Every person you fold into your survival family (whether they be blood relatives or not) is a potential opportunity to complement your own knowledge, skillsets, strengths, and abilities. As RECOIL OFFGRID alumni Ed Calderon says, “Take the time to invest in people.”
While many of us see ourselves as protectors of our immediate family unit, I’d also posit the idea that the best way to fulfill that role is by teaching every capable member of your group to protect themselves. I recently had a discussion with my significant other that led to this nugget of truth: One of the greatest acts of love we can show our family is to enable them to be more self-sufficient and … frankly … more dangerous to those who might see them as marks.
I say all that to say this: Do not fall into the trap of seeing your family, household, or circle-of-loved-ones as a liability, or as a weakness to be exploited by someone who lacks those relationships in their own life. See them for their full potential, not just as good people who enrich your existence, but as allies, assets, or teammates to rely on in these uncertain times. To that end, we dedicated this issue to promoting skills and knowledge specifically relevant to the protection of family and household. From Forrest Cooper’s real-time article on the “Porch Vikings” of post-George Floyd Minneapolis and Patrick McCarthy’s recap of this year’s virtual Protector’s Symposium, to Jason Squires’ overview of “Good Samaritan” laws and the next part in Neal Olshan’s series on Criminal Profiling, we wanted to provide a coffee table book for everyone in your network that touches on some valuable lessons for group-based survival. We also included articles on covert escape tools, armor carriers, and gun belts to help you and your tribe make informed decisions on how to outfit yourselves to squeeze every advantage from your gear.
Regardless of whether your survival network is your family, coworkers, or bowling league buddies, make sure you stock up on the gear and, more importantly, the knowledge to be ready for whatever the future may hold. If you invest in your people, they’ll likely prove to be your biggest strength, making the tough times a little softer and a little safer.

Even if we weren’t facing an apocalyptic future of our own making, humanity would still be doomed due to the nightmarish reproductive crisis that we are now facing. Just about every measure of human fertility that you can measure is dropping precipitously, and this is particularly true in the western world.
As a result, we have vast numbers of young adults that are either infertile or that deeply struggle with fertility issues, and the number of babies born with birth defects has been soaring. It gets worse with each passing year, and the future for humanity is exceedingly bleak unless we find a way to turn things around.
Sperm counts in Western countries have dropped by more than 50 percent since the 1970s. At the same time, men’s problems with conceiving are going up: Erectile dysfunction is increasing and testosterone levels are declining by 1 percent each year.
“The current state of reproductive affairs can’t continue much longer without threatening human survival,” warns Mount Sinai fertility scientist Dr. Shanna Swan in her book, “Count Down” (Scribner), out Tuesday. “It’s a global existential crisis.”
Sadly, she is not exaggerating one bit. There is simply no way that the human race will be able to avoid a dramatic population decline if these trends continue.
Previously, Dr. Swan made headlines when she warned that sperm counts dropped by a staggering 59 percent between 1973 and 2011…
In 2017, she sounded the alarm with a meta-analysis of 40,000 men that showed that sperm count fell a whopping 59 percent between 1973 and 2011.
We are already seeing the effects. Worldwide fertility has dropped by 50 percent between 1960 and 2015. The United States has a total birth rate that is 16 percent below what it needs to replace itself. Though there are obvious factors at play (couples are conceiving later and opting to have smaller families), Swan argues that the issues run deeper than personal choice.
What would our planet look like if worldwide fertility plunged by another 50 percent?
Global population growth has already come to a standstill in most areas, and there are some countries that are already starting to experience significant declines.
Men, in particular, are becoming infertile at a frightening rate. According to Swan, sperm counts have gotten extremely low…
Today the average male is nearing that number at 47.1 million sperm per milliliter. Compare him to his father, who had an average of 99 million sperm per milliliter, and it’s clear that this is a deeply worrying trend.
Once you get below 40 million, it becomes challenging to have a child, and the average male is nearly there already.
So why is this happening?
Well, Dr. Swan is pointing to the prevalence of endocrine disruptors in our society…
Swan and other experts say the problem is a class of chemicals called endocrine disruptors, which mimic the body’s hormones and thus fool our cells. This is a particular problem for fetuses as they sexually differentiate early in pregnancy. Endocrine disruptors can wreak reproductive havoc.
These endocrine disruptors are everywhere: plastics, shampoos, cosmetics, cushions, pesticides, canned foods and A.T.M. receipts. They often aren’t on labels and can be difficult to avoid.
In order to completely eliminate endocrine disruptors from your life, you would probably need to drop out of society entirely.
Another scientist at Washington State University has found that exposure to endocrine disruptors can make 20 percent of mice infertile in just three generations…
Patricia Ann Hunt, a reproductive geneticist at Washington State University, has conducted experiments on mice showing that the impact of endocrine disruptors is cumulative, generation after generation. When infant mice were exposed for just a few days to endocrine disrupting chemicals, their testes as adults produced fewer sperm, and this incapacity was transmitted to their offspring. While findings from animal studies can’t necessarily be extended to humans, after three generations of these exposures, one-fifth of the male mice were infertile.
Of course, there are many other factors that affect fertility as well, and I have covered quite a few of them in previous articles.
The point I am making in this article is that humanity is in very serious trouble, and the only way out is to radically alter our behavior.
But we aren’t going to do that, are we?
In addition to our “fertility collapse”, other research has found that over thousands of years humans have been getting smaller and shorter…
An earlier study by Cambridge University found that mankind is shrinking in size significantly.
Experts say humans are past their peak and that modern-day people are 10 percent smaller and shorter than their hunter-gatherer ancestors.
And if that’s not depressing enough, our brains are also smaller.
To me, reading that our brains have been getting smaller was particularly depressing, but that would definitely help to explain the level of competence displayed by some of our political leaders these days.
Our founders wrote such brilliant things, but in our time most Americans are so dumb that they literally cannot understand material written at that level.
We have become a dumbed-down “idiocracy” that thinks that reality television and watching people kick one another in the groin are some of the highest forms of entertainment.
It is frightening to think about how much we have degenerated already, and I don’t even want to imagine what Americans would be like 50 years from now.
Unfortunately, we won’t have to worry about that, because there won’t be an America if we stay on the path that we are currently on.
Of course, the clock is ticking for humanity as a whole, and everyone should be able to see that.
But we love our self-destructive behaviors so much that we will never give them up.
So there will be no change of course, and we shall surely reap what we have sown.

Pfizer and Moderna are promising the United States government that they will increase mRNA vaccine production, more specifically, they will ramp the production of the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to a report by RT, Pfizer has increased its 2021 production plan from 1.3 billion to at least 2 billion doses since July. “To date, no serious safety concerns have been identified that have changed the favorable risk-benefit profile of the vaccine,” Pfizer Chief Business Officer John Young wrote. Say what? So a propaganda minister for a pharmaceutical company is now saying there are no serious safety concerns with the COVID-19 vaccine?
Not only have people reported serious health concerns after taking this vaccine, but it doesn’t return life to normal. So what’s the point anyways? The ruling class obviously needs people to take this thing, and we’ll let you go ahead and guess what the reason for that could possibly be.
The worst part is that around 64.2 million Americans have decided that injecting themselves with this concoction is a good idea. Over 64 million doses of the vaccine have been administered across the country after the vaccine rollout began in December, according to Bloomberg’s tally.
Among the main concerns about this vaccine from the rulers and Big Pharma, are that people don’t want this thing. They are also trying to keep the fear as high as possible over new mutations of COVID. The new variants of Covid-19, including the UK variant, which, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, could become dominant in the United States by March.
Pfizer said its studies show that the company’s vaccine is effective against the coronavirus strains from the UK and South Africa. Moderna reported that the company is closely monitoring the new variants and is testing the performance of its vaccine against them.
The ruling class and other power-hungry psychopaths are really upset with a mainstream media propaganda outlet. The Associated Press is now being criticized for not brainwashing the masses adequately.
The AP is under fire for publishing an article telling Americans that life won’t go back to normal even after they’ve been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Power-hungry control freaks are now upset that the message discourages vaccination amongst the slaves.
In the AParticle from Saturday, which has since been republished by a number of news outlets including NBC New York, medical writer Lauran Neergaard bluntly told readers not to “expect to shed your mask and get back to normal activities right away” after being “fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.”
This isn’t exactly a secret, though. The tyrants have been telling us (for those with eyes to see and ears to hear) that this vaccine doesn’t work, won’t prevent you from getting covid and won’t return your life back to what most would consider “normal.”
This messaging will GUARANTEE a lot of people won’t bother getting the vaccine.
Reality for normal, sane people is – once vaccinated, no more mask, normal is here. Period. It’s just common sense and what anyone without an agenda will tell you.
Actually, common sense would dictate that people should stay as far away from this vaccine as humanely possible. The statistics are in, and they have never favored getting this injection unless you are the brainwashed slave it’s geared towards.
People from all over the world have long been assured that mass vaccination would bring an end to restrictions. But nearly one year on from the start of the Covid-19 pandemic it has been claimed that life might not return to normal for at least several years – if ever. –RT
Anyone paying attention should already know that this vaccine was never meant to return life to normal. The goal is compliance and obedience from the slave class to the ruling class. This vaccine is the beginning of the test for control and manipulation and to see how many are dupped and brainwashed enough to willingly take it. This is the ushering-in of the Great Reset and The New World Order.
The biggest concern for the ruling class is those who won’t take the vaccine, or “vaccine hesitancy.”
Vaccine hesitancy has become a growing concern for medical tyrants and the masters, who all support mass programs of Covid-19 vaccination regardless of party. A Pew Researchreport from December showed that 39 percent of Americans – over 100 million people – were opposed to receiving the vaccine.
According to several mainstream media outlets, there are over 7,000 coronavirus mutations and some could “pose serious risks.” A scientist in India has now said that among these variants N440K is spreading a lot more in the southern states.
Rakesh Mishra, Director of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, said some of the new coronavirus mutations are a risk. Mishra, who is on a team of the CCMB scientists also published a paper on their findings – SARS-CoV-2 genomics: An Indian perspective on sequencing viral variants, said “There are more than 7,000 coronavirus mutations in [India].”
NBC Bay Area is reporting that at least one variant of the COVID-19 mutations is spreading rapidly in California. The fear is ramping up and we should not expect it to fade anytime soon. Fear is how they get to control and manipulate the masses into their enslavement. We need to wake up.
The study found that cases of the COVID-19 variant first discovered in Denmark have spiked significantly over the past few weeks.
That is a big concern for San Francisco’s COVID-19 Latino Task Force, which continues to see a disproportionate number of new cases among the Latino population.
“We are the majority of the workforce that’s helping keep not just the city running but this country running,” Jon Jacobo with the task force said. “And that is why we see these disproportionate levels of infection.” –NBC Bay Area
The ruling class and propaganda outlets need you masked and to remain away from other human beings while they build this slave state around us. They keep trying to direct our attention toward fear, and there’s a reason.
“It’s something to pay attention to,” he said. “Make sure we practice all the interventions that we know about, exclamation point, but not to let our guard down, but not to get panicked about it either.” And yet, we can all tell this is about panicking the masses and making sure as many people as possible remain in that panicked state of fear. “We’re not out of this,” Jacobo said. “The threat of a more infectious or deadly mutation is always lingering. I think that we have to stick to the basics, which is masking, social distancing.”
We all need to wake up. This is not going to end well for us if we continue to allow these people ownership and “authority” over our lives and property.
Volatility has returned to Wall Street, and it appears that our absolutely epic stock market bubble may be in serious trouble. The S&P 500 closed down for the fifth trading session in a row on Monday, and that represents the longest losing streak that we have seen since last February.
Investors are starting to get quite nervous because for most of the past year stock prices have gone in just one direction. Even as the real economy has imploded all around us, there has been tremendous euphoria on Wall Street as stock prices have surged to dizzying heights. If stock prices were allowed to crash, that would definitely not be good for the national mood at all.
So what is the solution?
This stock market bubble was originally created by unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve and by extremely wild borrowing and spending by the U.S. government, and in order to keep the bubble going we are going to need a lot more of the same.
So someone needs to tell Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that it is time to go “full Weimar” so that we can prop up this bubble for as long as humanly possible.
For a while there in 2020, the Fed’s balance sheet was increasing at a nearly vertical pace, but in recent months it has only been going up at an exponential rate…
If the Fed wants to keep stock prices at their current levels, Powell and his minions need to fire up the engines again.
Meanwhile, the federal government has work to do as well. If our politicians in Washington really want stock prices to remain ridiculously high, they need to send more checks to the American people as soon as possible.
The effects of the last round of checks is already starting to wear off, and retail investors need more “stimulus money” to fritter away in their Robinhood accounts.
The good news for Wall Street is that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has reiterated her call for a large stimulus package, and Joe Biden has said that he is ready to sign one into law.
Of course, at this point, poor old Joe signs anything that his handlers put on his desk.
We haven’t added another trillion dollars to the national debt in a few months, and investors are quite eager to see our grand total cross the 28 trillion dollar mark. Most of them believe that more stimulus money will mean higher stock prices, but more stimulus money will also cause our money supply to grow even larger.
Since the start of the pandemic, M1 has been growing at a rate that would put the Weimar Republic to shame…
When I look at that chart, I feel like I am going to throw up.
But the only way to “save Wall Street” is to throw more giant mountains of money onto the fire. If we don’t go “full Weimar”, stock prices might crash to reasonable levels, and investors would be absolutely horrified.
And we are already starting to see warning signs. Just look at what happened to Tesla on Monday…
Shares of Tesla closed down 8.55% on Monday, as investors betting on a pandemic comeback rotated out of Big Tech and piled into cyclical stocks.
It’s Tesla’s biggest drop since Sept. 23, 2020, when it closed down 10.34%.
Do you want to be responsible for Tesla investors losing hundreds of billions of dollars in paper profits?
If not, then you need to support more printing, more borrowing, and more spending.
Of course, I am being facetious in this article.
By going down the road of hyperinflation, we are systematically destroying the value of the reserve currency of the world, we are piling up trillions of dollars of debt that future generations would never possibly be able to repay, and we are setting the stage for the inevitable meltdown of our current financial system.
In other words, we are literally committing national suicide.
Following World War I, they did the exact same thing in Germany.
The Weimar Republic created money like there was no tomorrow, and at first, it fueled a tremendous speculative boom. Just a couple days ago, Michael Burry posted about this on his Twitter account…
“Speculation alone, while adding nothing to Germany’s wealth, became one of its largest activities. The fever to join in turning a quick mark infected nearly all classes..Everyone from the elevator operator up was playing the market.”
But that bubble didn’t last, did it?
Germany plunged into a horrific economic depression that shocked the entire world. Eventually, people were running around with wheelbarrows full of cash to pay for things, but nobody wanted the money because it was so worthless.
And of course, the collapse of the Weimar Republic set the stage for World War II.
So why do we refuse to learn from history?
Sadly, it isn’t just the U.S. that is going down a hyperinflationary path. Governments all over the globe have been printing, borrowing, and spending money at unprecedented levels, and now the ratio of the world’s debt to GDP has reached a staggering 356 percent…
The world’s debt-to-GDP ratio rose to 356% in 2020, a new report from the Institute of International Finance finds, up 35 percentage points from where it stood in 2019, as countries saw their economies shrink and issued an ocean of debt to stay afloat.
I have been sounding the alarm for years, and many others have as well.
Unfortunately, those warnings have gone unheeded.
Even though our forefathers handed us the keys to the greatest economic machine the world had ever seen, in our insatiable greed we always had to have more.
We just kept borrowing and spending, and many of us assumed that our self-destructive behavior would never actually catch up with us.
Disaster didn’t strike when our national debt hit 10 trillion dollars, and it didn’t strike when it hit 20 trillion dollars either.
To a lot of Americans, it seemed like we could keep this charade going indefinitely.
But now we are facing a day of reckoning, and the price for going “full Weimar” is going to be very bitter indeed.

*EDITOR’S NOTE: The seizure of and the banning of ownership of private property is one of the tenants of the Great Reset. “You will own nothing and you will be happy.” This is just the beginning. The ruling class will own everything, including you.
In the Canadian province of Quebec, no party sitting in the provincial parliament dares to question the mammoth size of government. But strangely enough, only one party openly embraces socialism: Québec solidaire (QS). Their motto could be boiled down to “There is no salvation without the State.”
This conclusion is quite obvious when reading a recent Facebook post written by a leader of the left-wing party.
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, a co-spokesman for the party who was elected to the provincial legislative assembly in 2017, expressed outrage that it was possible to get an appointment for a “Brazilian butt lift within a few days” while “intensive care units are overwhelmed” because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nadeau-Dubois’ team called a few private clinics, and they told him that “there’s no reason to cancel or delay surgeries unless the government tells us otherwise.”
Perhaps inspired by that last point, he proposed seizing private ORs because “an exceptional situation requires exceptional measures… Lives are on the line.”
One has to wonder whether Nadeau has even skimmed through Quebec’s administration of the healthcare system since it was nationalized some 50 years ago. Since the deep cuts of the mid-1990s under Lucien Bouchard, the nominal budget for healthcare has multiplied by a factor of 3.7, increasing five percent per year.
And yet, waiting lists hardly budge.
As of July 2018, the waiting time to see a family doctor was 371 days. These specialists are so overwhelmed that they have already denied service to 75,000 people and counting. As for elective surgeries, over 100,000 people have been on a waiting list for more than six months. Many more patients will have to wait too since “non-urgent” procedures have been delayed because of the pandemic.
What’s more, the province-wide ER occupancy rate is currently 95 percent of available gurneys, with some being well overcapacity. So nothing much has changed over four years ago.
The Major Flaw of Medicare-for-All
Seizing private ORs, or even taxing corporations that “profited from” the pandemic, is very unlikely to shorten waiting lines, however.
As Montreal’s Economic Institute reminds us, Medicare-for-all (Canada has its own version of Medicare) sees people as spending, and therefore they need to be rationed in order not to go over budget.
But in a private hospital, patients are seen as a source of revenue; there is, therefore, an incentive to give great care so that, for future needs, the patient will come back.
And when there is waiting time in private hospitals, it’s rather short compared to their public peers. So much so that public organizations like CSST (Quebec’s OSHA) send workplace injuries to private establishments in order to save time. Indeed, a shorter waiting time means quicker rehab, less spending on worker compensation, etc.
A Strong Motivation to Offer Exceptional Service
So as long as the government funds and administers healthcare, refunding patients using private hospitals could mean saving on precious public funds.
It’s already happening for certain long-term care facilities (CHSLD) that receive public funding but are privately administered. In other words, they work like charter schools, and just like them, they have a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
In short: They need to work exceptionally well in order to remain open. Otherwise, the state can easily revoke its license. It’s a strong motivator—especially since public establishments hardly, if at all, suffer the same fate—but it pushes charter school administrators like Alex Quigley in North Carolina to find ways to improve their performance. Through trials and tribulations, Quigley was able to improve his school’s grade from F to D; and he hopes to make it to a C soon.
“Charter” CHSLDs operate in a similar fashion. Since they are publicly financed, they can’t charge users more than the fixed price, which was around $2,000 for a room with one bed in 2020. They even pay income and sales taxes, unlike their 100 percent public counterparts.
And yet, their quality is much better: None of them were evaluated as offering a “preoccupied” level of service compared to 12 percent of their wholly public peers. As for a “very satisfying” level of service, it was respectively 64 percent compared to 18 percent, according to a survey of users.
The improved level of care also probably explains why the only CHSLDs that weren’t contaminated by COVID when it started last year were either charter or entirely private. One head administrator, Marie-Hélène Girard, even went to buy PPE in mid-March 2020 on her own initiative despite severe shortages.
“It wasn’t recommended, but we did it anyway. Better to have those handy than nothing at all,” she said in an interview.
Girard was able to act promptly thanks to a lighter administrative burden. According to economist Pierre Fortin, administrative cost for “charter” CHSLD is 26 percent lower than their 100 percent public counterparts. The overall cost is about 12 percent lower.
A Better Way
So rather than envying the private sector’s efficiency, QS should look at it and take notes. While having no direct out-of-pocket spending can be nice, a median waiting time of 16.3 weeks for medically necessary procedures can lead to a heavy human toll.
Rationing is the result of regulating supply and ignoring prices, profits, and good incentives. “Non-essential” procedures like Lasik or butt lifts either saw price decreases or much slower price increases than regular medical because practitioners saw an opportunity for profit. This drew more providers into the marketplace, which increased supply, driving prices down.
Canadian lawmakers would be wise to emulate the private sector, not co-opt it. By utilizing markets, the private sector has shown it can lower both wait times and costs—something Canada’s “Medicare-for-all” system has failed to deliver.
Big Pharma is on a rampage when it comes to making sure they get paid by the government to keep the mRNA vaccines coming for the peasants. They are making plans to make changes to the CONVID-19 vaccines in order to fight off the new mutations as the ruling class continues to censor anyone or any information that may cause people to have second thoughts about this mass vaccination program.
The authoritarians want you to stay panicked and remain in fear for the time being, however. Changing these vaccines that will alter your DNA take time, they say. According to VOA News, you cannot just make changes to these vaccines. “It’s not really something you can sort of flip a switch, do overnight,” said Richard Webby who directs a World Health Organization (WHO) flu center from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Virginia.
Viruses mutate, or change, often. Recent studies have raised concerns that first-generation COVID-19 vaccines are not as effective against a coronavirus mutation that first appeared in South Africa. However, many of the COVID-19 vaccines are made with new technology that permits changes. But it will still be difficult for experts to decide whether the virus has mutated enough to make it necessary to change the vaccines. –VOA News
The rulers who think they own us continue to say we can’t be human beings again until we give up being human and get the mRNA vaccine. We were born free, yet somehow, everywhere are chains we put on ourselves at the commands of the rulers. Interestingly enough, the “authorities” say they are looking to the flu for “help.” Interesting considering they change flu vaccines all the time as it mutates and we still have to live with the flu.
They must think people are too stupid to think this out on their own.
For COVID-19 vaccines, Webby said an important step will be establishing a similar observation and testing network. It can then decide on which mutations are most worrisome. Today, there are wide differences in how nations track and test mutated versions. For example, Britain does more testing of the changing viral genome than the United States does.
Three variants first discovered in Britain, South Africa, and Brazil are worrisome because of combinations of mutations that make them spread more easily and quickly. –VOA News
Wake up. This isn’t about our health. If it was, they wouldn’t have insisted we destroy our ability to provide for ourselves or our families over something that has turned out to be as deadly as the common cold.
The biggest tyrant and fraud in the medical field, Dr. Anthony Fauci is now saying once people get fully vaccinated, they still need to avoid restaurant dining indoors and going to the movies. He said it will be safer to gather indoors again as more people get vaccinated and the COVID-19 cases drop.
The cases will drop when the ruling decides that they do. With this scam being carried out using the PCR tests that give a false positive half the time, it’s impossible to even tell if this virus exists, or if they are simply renaming the flu and the common cold. At this point, who knows if we will ever truly know the truth of what’s going on with this scam and how deep this goes.
According to Yahoo, Fauci said:“There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society,” Fauci said on Monday during a White House COVID-19 press briefing. “For example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate. That’s because of the safety of society.”
So if the vaccine prevents you from getting COVID, you still can’t be around people who might have COVID because you can get it? That means the vaccine doesn’t work. If it does work, there should be no fear of anyone who’s been infected. I think based solely on these tyrants’ own words, we know this “vaccine” isn’t what it seems.
He stressed that while being vaccinated dramatically increases one’s “own personal safety,” it’s not a free pass to be the free human you were born to be. People are still buying this scam? Even though the number of new coronavirus cases reported each day in the U.S. has fallen dramatically in recent weeks, the fear-mongering rulers and propagandists need you to believe that the virus is still spreading, with nearly 450,000 COVID-19 cases documented in the past week.
“We are still at an unacceptably high baseline level,” Fauci said at Monday’s briefing. We are, indeed, at an unacceptable baseline level of tyranny. In fact, all tyranny is unacceptable. More and more people are figuring this out daily. Stay alert and prepared, because this is still not over. It could ramp up dramatically at any time:

This is pretty much a straight-up admission that the vaccine doesn’t work and could actually infect others. So what’s the point of the vaccine? This is where you will need to use common sense and discernment. These aren’t the words of anyone else but the rulers and their propagandists. Wake up, folks. Time is running out for humanity.
