Masks, and mask mandates, were never about anybody’s safety
Almost four years after the beginning of the pandemic, there is still very little evidence to suggest facemasks offer even the slightest protection against covid infection
For a time, the mantra of “my mask protects you, your mask protects me” won out; not knowing any better, and faithfully believing in the guidance of our mind-blowingly corrupt and dishonest public health officials, it became a simple gesture of good manners to wear them.
Over time, it became much clearer what they really represent: compliance. You’re supposed to know that they don’t actually protect you.
From Fauci’s “noble lies,” to the nonsensical restaurant requirements, and the eventual political polarization that developed concerning them, there was deliberately stoked controversy from the very beginning.
For every other medico-scientific aspect of this pandemic – from the vaccines, to Remdesivir and Paxlovid, to actually useful treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine – the scientific fraud machine worked overtime to produce a multitude of bogus, falsified, yet superficially convincing studies that media, influencers, officials and politicians could use to convince you.
When it comes to masks, “The Science” is still awfully light, and the studies that have been published either clearly show they have no effect, or are unconvincing statistical misrepresentations.
Now, as primary season heats up, and Trump indictments fall like rain, a new Covid variant is being talked up, and “calls” for mask mandates are rising again.
Why now? What’s the goal?
The Purpose Of Propaganda
If you’ve been following events at all – and since you’re reading this, I’m going to presume you’re well and truly up to date – you should be well aware that we are in the midst of a Marxist revolution, both in the US and across the Western world.
They are, rather unimaginatively, still fairly closely following the playbook written by the Bolsheviks, from the Russian Revolution in 1917. A crucial element of implementing this new tyranny is conditioning: the conditioning of their prospective subjects to mindlessly follow their orders, no matter how absurd, demeaning, or self-defeating.
There are numerous prongs of this attack on the collective integrity of the people.
Transgenderism is a major one; not only have they caused ~20% of Gen Z to identify as some manner of LGB/T, dramatically impacting overall fertility, in line with the kitchen-sink depopulation efforts, but the conditioning is forceful: men are women, women are men, 2+2=5, and if you don’t say you agree, you’re a heartless bigot.
The purpose of communist propaganda is not to persuade, convince, or inform. The purpose of their propaganda is to humiliate and degrade you; to turn you into a liar, repeating and endorsing things that you know to be untrue, and in doing so, to break down your moral character, to lessen your righteousness; to degrade your ability to reject and call out immorality and evil.
Let he that is without sin cast the first stone; if everybody is sinning, then nobody will be casting stones, and their evil can carry on unmolested and unchecked.
Turning you into a liar degrades your ability and your standing to oppose immorality of all kinds; you know that it’s wrong, you know that it’s harmful, but you go along with it, you endorse the Big Lie, because the consequences of opposing it appear to be too great.
Needless to say, the consequences of failing to oppose it are far, far worse – but you don’t see those yet.
The “civic duty” to Wear A Mask was implemented, originally, through both propaganda and, subsequently, peer pressure; and in a solid win for humanity, it was largely defeated in much the same way.
Maskers became the butt of the joke everywhere, and gradually, the vast majority of the people in the grocery store ceased to wear them, the workplace mandates were rescinded, and the “new normal” was broadly rejected.
Point and laugh was the generally accepted M.O., and it worked. Captured institutions, and the occasional die-hard, continued to insist on them; but the idea of masking has been generally, widely discredited as a useful or moral act.
Now, three years later, we’re hearing that the “experts” are insisting on them again. The last variant didn’t spur such calls; nor did the ones before; but this one, for no particular reason, has the “experts” riled up and calling for ubiquitous masking again.
Again, we ask – why?
Another Cycle Begins
The process of conditioning is fairly straightforward: gradually dial up the heat, until you run into resistance. Once you’ve pushed as far as you can go, and the resistance starts to materialize in force, back down; repeal the mandates, soften the requirements, allow some of the challenges to see victory; let the people feel like their complaints have been heard, and the tyranny is going to stop now.
Once the resistance has settled down, kick it back into gear again, and this time go a little further, a little faster, and see where the new boundary really lies. Winnow and exhaust the capacity and willingness to resist, fine-tune the propaganda and enforcement, and keep on pushing.
Without compliance, they have nothing; they need to make you feel powerless, because you have all the power. Only you can decide to surrender it; only by giving in will you do so.
We have had a fairly long period of softening; cases being won, mandates largely becoming a relic of the past, loosening censorship, and generally moving forward from the pandemic onto more pressing things, like standing with the Ukrainian Fourth Reich and sacrificing livestock to the weather gods.
One almost could’ve imagined that they were done with the pandemic. Sadly, it just ain’t so. Neither Ukrainians nor cow farts give the ballot counters any excuse to keep observers 50 feet away. Until and unless we fully eradicate either the Covid infection, or the communist infection – or both! – it will continued to be used as a cudgel and a tool of election fraud.
We are now in the opening stages of ramping the heat back up again – unless the resistance is fierce, united and ubiquitous, it’s going to get incrementally more draconian every time.
Fifteen minute cities, better known historically as ghettos, and a general prerequisite for and precursor to open genocide, are the endgame insofar as these restrictions go.
With everything they’ve been throwing at Trump having utterly failed to budge his support, they’re going to have to pull something nasty, and they need to know how badly we’re going to react; ramping up the panic around election time will also give them a great excuse to permanently solidify the permissive, fraud-enabling rules around voting and ballot counting.
Subjugating a country so deeply rooted in personal liberty and freedom was never going to be easy.
Having largely completed the process of institutional capture, they are again stretching their wings; the rule of law is becoming increasingly weakened, be it through rampant unpunished petty crime, the absurd, lawless indictments of Trump and his circle, or the total failure to hold the Bidens accountable for their broad-daylight corruption; the criminality and corruption is heating up, and with it, the people are again beginning to push back.
The mandates have absolutely nothing to do with anybody’s safety or well-being. They are a purely political tool, a cudgel, with which they can again and again assault your sense of reality, your integrity, and simultaneously both assess, and hopefully degrade, your capacity for resistance.
If they can make you comply with a mask mandate, when you know full well that it serves absolutely no beneficial purpose, what manner of meaningful resistance do you possibly think you can offer against the wholesale theft of a country and the persecution of its rightful, twice-elected President?
They aren’t blind; they can see that they’re poking a hornet’s nest with these nakedly political, unjust prosecutions. What they really need to know right now is how far they can push the envelope.
Has the program of demoralization worked?
How significantly, how completely has it worked?
How many people still believe that the masks do anything, versus how many are complying anyway and wearing them?
The answer to that question is going to inform just how hard they push the envelope over the next year.
If they find that there is still broad compliance – particularly alongside simultaneous, widespread knowledge that they do nothing – that right there is a blinking green light to continue and accelerate the effort to break apart this country, and consign us all to a Marxist, WEF-dominated hellscape, from which there will be no peaceful escape.
Maybe you ascribe to accelerationism. Personally, I don’t; especially given their incredibly lackluster geopolitical performance of late, with alliances and vassal states falling and failing left and right, time is emphatically not on their side; the longer it takes, the slower it goes, and the more resistance they meet, the likelier that the whole house of cards will collapse before they manage to fully consolidate their power.
We are coming into a crucial, historical period of time; the events of the next few years will shape the century to come.
What that looks like depends wholly and solely on you.

Very simply: “Maskers are MURDERERS”.
Masks are NOT ONLY of zero benefit in ANY regard, masks CAUSE actual MEASURABLE HARM to ALL who wear them! Worse: masks, when worn by children not ONLY cause measurable harm but the harm they cause is IRREPARABLE and IRREVERSIBLE to multiples systems; cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive AND Central Nervous System.
Any person encouraging a child to wear a mask should be in prison.
Any person FORCING a child to wear a mask should face the death penalty.

Can’t say I agree with you. Masks do work for something but not COVID-19 viruses really. Yes they do stop some viruses but not all or most, just like a screen window stops some rain but not most of it. They do stop other things like most pollen, bacteria and spit / mucus. So they do do some good. They also improve the looks of many.

No, they don’t stop ANY viruses. They will stop bacteria.

RFalls, you might want to research this better before spouting an unfounded opinion?
Surgical asks have always been designed to simply stop the spread of ‘bacteria’. That is why a dentist wears one, and why a surgeon wears one.
On a microscopic level, bacteria are the size of an elephant, while a virus is the size of a mouse. A surgical mask mesh is the size of a cargo net.
The cargo net is quite good at catching elephants, but mouse walks right through…

Based on the Cochrane report in 2016 staff in operating theatres do not have to wear masks as they found masks have no effect .

If you look at this SCIENCE CHART you will notice the face diapers CANNOT stop a virus. This is where I buy my lab filters. You stand as much chance of stopping a virus with bolshevik bidens masks as putting a 2X4 before your face and stepping in the path of an on coming train. Both will have the SAME effect So good little SHEEP, do what your government ORDERS you to do and also take the JAB. This way the JAB will clear our the Non Thinking i Idiots and their offspring. So Just DO IT – idiots

As far as their mask mandates I say “FU and up yours”.

Alas, I fear most people will go back to wearing masks if told to . I didn’t wear a mask last time and found it makes you a stronger person mentally . It felt great walking into a supermarket maskless when everyone else was masked. Nobody said a thing to me .

“The purpose of their propaganda is to humiliate and degrade … repeating and endorsing things [known] to be untrue, and in doing so, to break down moral character, to lessen righteousness; to degrade the ability to reject and call out immorality and evil.”
Very true. That is a good analysis of socialist propaganda and its intent . Hayek stated that collectivist morality stands on universally accepted social ends and maximum social power to enforce them, with no place for judgment by individual conscience.
In individualist ethics, the end justifying the means” denies morality. In collectivist ethics it is the supreme rule. There is nothing the collectivist must not be prepared to do if it serves the stated “good of the whole.” It compares in this respect only, he said, to the world’s great religions. Once the individual turns to serving the ends of the greater entity (the state of party), justification for the regime’s horrific actions follows. Intolerance and brutal suppression of dissent, in disregard of individual life, are essential and unavoidable consequences of the basic duty to uphold “the received truth,” or “the common good.”
Society’s common end has no place for individual rights or values and will give them no weight.
