"The Constitution cannot protect you if you don't protect the Constitution with your votes against anyone who violates it. Those government officials who want more power are not going to stop unless they get stopped." Thomas Sowell

Activist Peggy Hall just led a successful push-back against the vaccine passport at the recent Orange County Supervisors meeting. We need to be as vigilant here in Ventura County. Read her reasons why the decision came down in her favor:

1. We mobilized quickly, at a moment's notice, and shared important messages and information to prepare for the meeting.

2. We the People were present, prepared, powerful and persuasive. Hundreds of people from different walks of life came to share their opinions and outrage at such an immortal, unethical, unlawful proposal to take and track our personal health information.

3. Health Officer Chau had floated trial balloons over the previous days, stating that "Every child HAD to be vaccinated" and that schools should become "vaccination centers." Those proposals were shot down by the public outcry and many hours of testimony given by the public at the OC Board of Education Meeting.

4. The vigor and voices of We the People in Orange County can not be ignored or denied. The public servants were put on notice that we are ready and willing to take legal action and have them removed from their positions and be held accountable under state and federal laws for their egregious violations of our rights, as protected, secured and guaranteed under the state and federal constitution.

5. Regardless of the public servants back-pedaling on their statements to create some sort of "digital vaccine verification," the success is that We the People are present, powerful and persuasive -- and we will NEVER be silent. We are watching their every move. They cannot slip anything past us. We will be there, en masse, never to be silenced.

6. Hundreds of individuals, with bare faces, no distancing. This was a victory in and of itself, and a powerful picture of FREEDOM!

7. We know that these servants have other tricks up their sleeve, but we know what's going on behind the curtain, We know that they will "kick the can down the road" to put pressure and offer bribes to businesses to do their dirty work, just like they did with masks. It is 100% illegal, unlawful, immoral, unethical for any of these practices and measures to be foisted upon us, and we will fight it at every turn.

Author, journalist and political advisor Naomi Wolf has some strong words about the "pandemic." In the name of freedom, we reprint it here:

In 2008, I wrote a book, The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot. I warned, based on my study of closing democracies in 20^th century history, that America needed to beware of a slide toward totalitarianism.

I warned that would-be tyrants, whether they are on the left or the right, always use a map to close down democracies, and that they always take the same ten steps. Whether it’s “Invoke a Terrifying Internal and External Threat,” “Create a Thug Caste,” “Target the Press,” or the final step, “Suspend the Rule of Law,” these steps are always recognizable; and they always work to crush democracies and establish tyrannies. At that time, the “global threat” of terrorism was the specter that powers invoked in order to attack our freedoms.

The book was widely read and discussed, both at the time of its publication and for the last 12 years. Periodically over the last decade, people would ask me when and if we had reached “Step Ten.”

We – my brave publisher, Chelsea Green, and I — are releasing the first and last chapters of The End of America now, in 2021, for free, and I am calling the sequel to this book, which I am now writing, Step Ten – because as of March of last year, we have indeed, I am so sad to say, arrived at and begun to inhabit Step Ten of the ten steps to fascism.

Though in 2008, I did not explicitly foresee that a medical pandemic would be the vehicle for moving the entire globe into Step Ten, I have at various points warned of the dangers of medical crises as vehicles that tyranny can exploit to justify suppressions of civil rights. Today, a much-hyped medical crisis has taken on the role of being used as a pretext to strip us all of core freedoms, that fears of terrorism did not ultimately achieve.

In 2015, I cautioned that infectious diseases could be used as a justification for ushering in a suppression of liberties, always under the guise of emergency measures. In 2019, a book of mine, Outrages: Sex, Censorship and the Criminalization of Love, showed how terrible infectious disease epidemics such as cholera and typhus had been exploited in the 19^th century by the British state, in order to crush freedoms and invade people’s privacy; I wrote about how the first anti-vaccination movements arose among British parents in the Victorian period. That book was initially cancelled, and its message of warning has been continually assailed. 

But that book too was prescient. In early March of 2020, of course, a global pandemic was announced: Covid-19.

In the immediate wake of the announcement and narrativization of that pandemic, most of the elements of a locked-in 360 degree totalitarianism have been put into place, in most of the countries of the West, including in what had been robust democracies. It all happened very quickly and comprehensively.

In the United States we now have:

1. Emergency measures in many states, which suspend due process of law. This is the hallmark of a police state. Covid-19 is invoked as the reason for the introduction of emergency law – but there is no endpoint for lifting these emergency laws.
2. The closures of schools, which break the social contract with the next generation.
3. Bills being passed for “vaccine passports,” which bypass the Fourth Amendment to the constitution by allowing the government and Big Tech companies to intrude on medical privacy and to create a comprehensive digital surveillance state. 
4. Forced closures of businesses. By intervening directly in the economy and allowing certain businesses to flourish (Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target) at the expense of small businesses, Main Street shops, restaurants, and sole proprietor businesses in general, the State has merged government and corporations in a way that is characteristic of Italian fascism, or of modern Chinese communism. (Indeed the fact that tech stocks rose by 27% in one quarter of the pandemic shows one driver of this war against human freedoms and human society: every minute human beings spend in a classroom, at the pub or restaurant, or in a church or synagogue, is time that tech companies lose money by being unable to harvest that data. Covid policies driven by “Covid-19 Response” – tech companies – ensure that humans are not allowed to connect except via digital platforms. The reason is profit as well as social control). 
5. Restrictions on assembly. Some states such as California are fining people for seeing their friends in their homes, and making it unlawful for kids to have playdates with their friends. Massachusetts restricted gatherings of more than ten people at a time, forcing synagogues and churches to stay closed, in spite of a Supreme Court ruling against states forcing churches to close. Parks, playgrounds and beaches have been closed off. In countries such as Britain, people are fined for leaving their homes for more than an hour’s exercise a day.
6. Forced face coverings. In Massachusetts, people are fined if they are not wearing masks outdoors – even children as young as five are forced to do so by law. Again this mandate has not been undergirded by peer-reviewed studies showing medical necessity; and there is no endpoint proffered for these extraordinary violations of personal freedom.
7. Suppression of free speech. Big Tech companies are censoring critics of Covid policy and vaccine policy, as well as censoring views that are on the right hand of the political spectrum. “Incitement,” a word that has a long history in the 20^thcentury for closing down free speech, has been weaponized by the left to shut down First Amendment freedoms of expression. In other forms of censorship and management of speech and public debate, tycoons such as Bill Gates have been funding major news outlets, with millions of dollars directed to “Covid education.” As a result, dissenting voices are marginalized and shamed, or even threatened with legal action or job losses. 
8. Science has been hijacked in the interests of “biofascism.” By heavily funding scientific commentators such as Dr Fauci in the United States, Imperial College and SAGE in the UK, and Dr Christian Drosten in Germany, a dominant set of policies and pronouncements about Covid that benefit a small group of bad actors – notably tech and pharmaceutical interests, acting in concert with governments – have had secured credentialled supporters. But when other scientists or institutions seek debate or transparency, they are threatened with job loss or reputationally attacked, as in the case of Dr Simon Goddeke of the Netherlands, who was told to keep quiet by his university, when he challenged the flawed Covid PCR test protocols. 
9. Data have been hijacked to serve the interests of this biofascism. This manipulation of truth, which I foreshadowed in The End of America, is typical of the Soviet censors. Covid platforms such as Covid19tracking and John Hopkins University, funded by technocrats such as Michael Bloomberg, serve unverifiable Covid data that directly affect the stock markets. Again, while this un-American merger of corporate interests and public policy is reminiscent of Italian Fascism, the twist provided by digital data presentation and its relationship to the stock market is very much of the 21^st
10. Attacks on religious minorities. The orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, and Christian churches in California, have been singled out for punishment if they do not follow Covid rules – a targeting of religion that is characteristic of Communist policies on the left, especially in China. 
11. Policies that weaken bonds between human beings and weaken the family have been introduced and policed. This is the most serious development of all.

The new biofascism in the West, very much driven by Big Tech leaders, and soon to be exploited by our enemies geopolitically, is a war against free human beings and against the qualities that make us human. 

Masks break human beings’ ability to bond face-to-face and enjoy human contact, smiles and jokes. Masks turn down the effectiveness of human “technology,” by making it hard for us to “read” each other and to pick up social cues. Forbidding assembly keeps us from forming human alliances against these monstrous interests. Forbidding human assembly also prevents new cultures, new heroes and new business models from arising. We are all stuck with the Rolodex and the ideas we had in March of 2020.

Forcing kids to distance at school and wear masks ensures a generation of Americans who don’t know HOW to form human alliances, and who don’t trust their own human instincts. Those are counterrevolutionary training techniques.

Driving all learning onto (already prepared) distance learning platforms ensures that kids do not know how to behave in human space, space not mediated by technology. 

Many Covid policies seem designed to ensure that humans will have no “analog” space yet or “analog” culture left – no way to feel comfortable simply gathering in a room, touching one another as friends or allies, or joining together.

Lastly, driving all human interaction onto Zoom is not only a way to harvest all of our tech, business secrets and IP – it is a way to ensure that intimacy and connection in the future will be done online and that human face-to-face contact will be killed off. 

Why is this? Why develop policies that punish, encumber and restrict human contact in analog (unsurveilled, unmediated) spaces?

Because human contact is the great revolutionary force when it comes to human freedom and resistance to this form of comprehensive biofascism – the biofascism represented by the New Normal – the medico-fascist Step Ten. 

Now let me recap from the year 2008, and read you my intro to The End of America, as well as the warning at the close of that book. 

Its message has never, sadly, been more timely. This time, threats to freedom justified by terrorism then, have reclothed themselves in the trappings of a medical pandemic.

But this time we do not just face a war on freedom. This time we face a war on human beings, and on all that makes us human. 

Naomi Wolf

Thank you to Naomi for putting it all out there. 

Chris Rossini writes: "Allow government to forcefully invade your body with an experimental chemical, made by a corporation that has been granted immunity, for a virus with a 99.7% survival rate, and you're handing over the keys to your bodily kingdom." 

"Naturally, the common people don't want war ... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." ~ Hermann Goring (Nazi)

Same difference. Tell them they could die from a virus. Then shame those who question it. Read George Washington's words that are so relevant today:

"The people must remain ever vigilant against tyrants masquerading as public servants."

Words from RON PAUL in response to COVID restrictions: "It's not that complicated. The issue is whether or not we have our freedom and our responsibility to take care of ourselves. That would solve a lot of these problems. It doesn't mean it will be a perfect world. You won't have perfect medicine. But when you let the bureaucrats in, the authoritarians and the Fauci's of the world, the Bill Gates of the world, to dictate social policies, and medical policy, science policy and all these things, you end up with a monstrosity. And to reverse this is going to be very difficult. Because even when the facts come out, which they are, it's going to be very hard. The people have been conditioned to be fearful, to be scared, and we are raising a whole generation of people intimidated and frightened and scared about what's going on. 

But we have a job ahead of ourselves and the solution is not only believing in freedom but also to believe and get people to understand what freedom is all about and why a free society is so much safer and so much more productive. So if you're looking for peace and prosperity you have to look for a free society that recognizes the value of liberty." 

Thanks to Scott Atlas, MD, Health Care Policy Advisor to the President, for speaking out and putting his finger on the truth:

"One of the biggest failures of the voices of public health in the United States and the world is that they instill fear, they specifically instill fear, with their proclamations, their statements that, 'Oh, we don't know this, we don't know that,' as if we knew nothing about immunology, as if we knew nothing about viral infections, as if we knew nothing about corona viruses. And the models that were put forth were worst case scenarios that were just hideously wrong, and the media that has hyped up these rare exceptions like multi-system inflammation in children even though we know the overwhelming evidence that this disease is not high risk for children, it's absolutely not high risk for children. So all of this sort of hyperbole, the sensationalism and the failure of public health officials to articulate what we know instead of what we don't know has instilled fear. ..It's the fear, but the fear is due to what was said by the so-called experts, by the media and by, really, a failure to understand that they were instilling fear or a failure to care they were instilling fear and we see it today every single day."

Federal Judge Stickman's ruling against Pennsylvania's governor regarding COVID: "The liberties protected by the Constitution are not fair-weather freedoms---in place when times are good but able to be cast aside in times of trouble. There is no question that this country has faced and will face emergencies of every sort, but the solution to a national crisis can never be permitted to supercede the commitment to individual liberty that stands as the foundation of the American experiment."
