I thought I would send you an update on one person’s battle against the lies that are openly being perpetrated throughout the world. It is sickening, but not surprising, that our leaders continue to perpetrate the COVID scam, as it has benefited them well in their lust for power.

I appreciate your links to Ron Paul’s videos. My brother has been a Ron Paul fan for years, and I hadn’t educated myself enough to realize how cogent Dr. Paul’s arguments are until recently.  His words, and those of others who cherish their freedom, have emboldened me in this daily conflict of ideologies.  It is not about a virus, it is all about control.  I will not go down lightly.

On the front lines, I am taking a stand against the COVID nonsense wherever I confront it. I am speaking out publicly to anyone who will listen (and even some who don’t), in order to gracefully but firmly present another perspective besides the one proclaimed 24/7 on TV, radio, and all mass media.  It is not hard to stand up against the hoax, but it does require a firm resolve.

For example, we recently purchased a used car. We had visited several dealerships, and each time I would call ahead and ask if we were required to wear a mask in their facility.  Of course, I knew the answer, but wanted the person to speak it. I would then respond that our family didn’t have masks, and were not interested in wearing them.

One dealership sent a staff person out to us, who asked if we wanted to come in (again, I had called ahead to say no).  I told him that we were not interested in wearing masks, and would prefer to do our business outside. He concurred, although he was (sadly) wearing the requisite, ill-fitting facewear. On a positive note, it was a beautiful day, so that was a plus!

He brought us the keys, we test drove, and went on our way.  Another dealership was a slightly different experience. I had called ahead to a specific salesperson, she knew our position on the matter, and yet when we arrived, she tried numerous tactics to get us to come inside to provide driver’s licenses, sign forms, etc.  I had called her in advance and explained that we were not going to wear masks, and why (they are pointless). She still offered us masks when we arrived. (“How many do you need?” “NONE.”) She tried several times to get us to come in, “just for a minute.” I refused, politely.

Eventually we were able to process all paperwork, test drive, and make a purchase OUTSIDE.  (No real need to come in and sip the Kool-aid.) We wound up returning the vehicle as it had problems almost immediately, and the next day she again met us and told us that this time we would have to come into the business office to sign papers.  I insisted that I would be happy to meet the folks outside to sign the three papers. They complied, although it was a bit uncomfortable, because at this point my own family was feeling nervous about bucking this absurd requirement to wear masks. However, it went smoothly, again no real need to go inside. We then went back to the first dealer and purchased a car, at a much better price and higher quality, and we love it.  All transactions were completed outside, WITHOUT us wearing masks.

Fast forward a few days. We are putting our house on the market for sale. We have discussed our concerns about the COVID hype with the realtor, and told her that she is not required to wear a mask in our house for face to face meetings. She seemed relieved by this, but still maintains “social distance.” We have known her for years, and I leaned in for a hug at the end of the meeting, which she responded to. (How terrible that in a space of a few months a hug has become almost a crime!)  Yesterday, as we were signing final papers, she presented us with two versions of seller requirements for buyers.  Along with the request for pre-approved buyers, and appointments, was a large paragraph stating requirements for masks, gloves, footwear, PPE, etc.  Whether we required financial pre-approval for potential buyers, or requested appointments, or not, the requirement for masks, etc., was on each version!  I asked if this was a legal requirement and was told it wasn’t.

I told her that we were not going to have this verbiage on our seller requirements. I wasn’t interested in being a nanny to a potential buyer.  If a person feels that they are “unsafe” going into our house without the requisite gear, they can choose for themselves how to respond, but I am not going to play along with this foolishness. People can decide whether or not to bring hand sanitizer. Like the car salesman, at first, she tried to gloss over this glaring paragraph with a response to the other issues (pre-approval, etc.).  As before, I pointed to the paragraph, and made her address that issue specifically.  She blanched a little bit, but confessed that it wasn’t truly a requirement.  I felt like my convictions were once again being tested.  I held firm, and told her it was offensive to me to be asked to go along with this pointless charade. I don’t believe it will cost us a sale. In fact, I am sure there are others like myself who are tired of being faced with this propaganda at every turn. It will be refreshing to deal with buyers who are of like mind!

In a week or so, I am finally to see a massage therapist for a therapeutic appointment that is long overdue. She has rescheduled it several times, due to the continuous extensions of the “state of emergency” that keeps her business closed. This week she sent out a notice that in order to receive a massage, patrons must wear a mask whether they are face up or face down. I assume it’s OK to suffocate clients!  It will be miserable to wear a mask for such a procedure, and I am prepared to once again politely resist this tyranny.  I am attaching a copy of a card that references the ADA and the ability to refuse to wear a mask, under its protection.  For once, the law is on the side of the people!  I downloaded this card from another site, and apparently it has been used successfully.  So far, I have been able to politely refuse to wear a mask, but I keep a copy of this card in my wallet in an official-looking plastic sleeve, just in case.  I am preparing to use it for my upcoming appointment.

My family is starting to realize that I am very serious about my resistance to the COVID lie.  I am not just speaking out, I am putting my actions behind my words.  What good is a conviction if you never stand on it?  Each time I am successful, it encourages me.  However, I will stand on Truth, and not crumple in the face of lies, even if it means discomfort or loss.  My children’s future depends on it!

I want to make clear that in each of these situations, I am putting my faith in God as my Protector and Provider.  Each situation is approached with prayer.  I read once that prayer is not an end in itself, but a means to an end.  The purpose of prayer is to equip us to ACT. By God’s grace, I am acting boldly. I am not a fan of confrontation, but this situation requires it and there is too much at stake to shrink away.

Thank you for reading and for speaking out.

Here is a second update from the same reader about a new development at his local supermarket.

Attached is a picture of a terrifying sight that I encountered today at the grocery store.  I noticed this huge robotic thing edging its way up and down an aisle. It had three cameras near its base, and a grinning face.  In all my 50+ years, I have never seen anything like it.  It made me ill to see it.

I asked a clerk what it was and was told that it is intended to detect and report spills in aisles. That seemed odd, as don’t customers usually report spills?  Why spend the money on such an evil-looking contraption for an occasional occurrence that is already easily remedied?

Sure enough, the sign on the robot says it is to detect spills and debris. It actually took up so much room in the aisle it was hard for shoppers to pass by. I’m not sure that putting debris in the aisle to detect debris is a good idea. When I mentioned it to my son, he said he thought it might actually be to detect shoplifters. But isn’t that why cameras are placed in the ceilings of stores? Why such a monster?

I think it has a more sinister purpose – perhaps to enforce “social distancing”?  The cameras are close enough to identify people.  As a side note, this store doesn’t require masks, but many shoppers were wearing them.  I should also mention that in the 30 minutes I was in the store, the creature moved up and down the SAME aisle the whole time – the nearly empty paper goods aisle.  I never realized how slippery toilet paper is when it spills.

I had not heard of that monstrosity and googled… big Filipino brother is watching you!

Here it is.

After exploring that manufacturer site a bit I see they also sell a robot that allegedly monitors shelf stocking to avoid lost sales on out of stock merchandise customers would otherwise wish to purchase.  So, the bar code scanners and information technology that I know have been there for 40 + years in chain stores can no longer estimate inventories?  yep…

Our local Stop & Shop has been using one of those robots since before this “pandemic”. They are for detecting spills and no doubt for policing the aisles for depletion of product. They ARE very disconcerting to encounter and could no doubt be used for other kinds of detection.

Kudos to your “loyal reader” for his/her courage of conviction. Would that more of us (especially yours truly) had the same. I put in the work you suggested for the “Covid Propaganda Facts” by looking up all the websites linked and printing them after each fact, but that’s as far as it went. I’ve only handed them out to people I know (like-minded) hoping they have more courage, I guess.

Your reader’s method sounds like an excellent suggestion but they are doing something in which, whether buying or selling, the opposite party anticipates a financial benefit. I wonder if he/she would have a suggestion for attending Mass which has just been allowed with all the attendant rules and for grocery shopping.

As always, thank you for all you do.

Thank you for writing.

As for the Mass, I recommend praying the Tridentine, pre-1962 Mass at home. That way, you don’t unite yourself with the heresies of Vatican II or the heresies of the Traditional movement. The ‘social distancing’ things are minor compared to these.

Regarding grocery shopping, here’s a a viewer of Ron Paul’s who openly confronts people:

I confront people all the time. Every time I go to the store I tell people it is BS, and I have my own reasons how I know this…I wear a mask that says “FAKE Flu”, and I DON’T “social distance”, and I dare anyone to say something. I tell them, if they are scared, YOU GO HOME”! There was a woman was standing behind me, 10 feet behind me, at the grocery store. I said, you really like social distancing, she nodded, I said, make sure you are first in line to get the (I used my fingers to make quotation marks) vaccination too…When I am a walk I laugh at those wearing a mask…The point is, what we are witnessing is the core reason America is in such trouble, it is a nation of about 40% cowards and borderline communists, and where I live, close to DC, it is more like 80%. Of course the DC metro is hardly American at all, so many Chinese nationals, Russians nationals and Israeli “dual-citizens”..and with that mixture in place, you know we are headed into real problems…the 1917 variety.

I do not confront people, but I have walked mask-less into a grocery store and the post office filled with people with masks and calmly gone about my business.
