from seeing her son after public backlash and involvement from the
Illinois divorce bar
* A number of judges around the U.S. have started using the COVID shot
as a reward/punishment tool, but should opting in or out of a medical
treatment really determine your ability to get fair treatment in the
judicial system?

the technocratic Great Reset plan, as vaccine passports will serve as
the platform for more invasive surveillance, social engineering and
population control

with normal everyday freedoms and those who refuse the shot are
shunned, barred and excluded

Introduction
August 28, 2021, Fox32 Chicago reported (#1) that a Cook County
judge had
stripped a mother of her parental rights because she refused to get the
COVID jab.
The mother, Rebecca Firlit, had a shared custody agreement with her
former husband. August 10, they'd appeared in court via Zoom for a
child support hearing, at which time, Judge James Shapiro asked about
their vaccination status.
Firlit said she had not gotten the shot because her doctor had advised
against it, as she's had bad reactions to vaccines in the past. "It
poses a risk," she told Shapiro. (#2) The father said he had
gotten the
shot. The judge then took the surprising step of stripping Firlit of
her parenting time with her 11-year-old son until she got the jab.
Firlit's attorney, Annette Fernholz, said the judge overstepped his
authority and acted outside his jurisdiction. She told WFLD: (#3)
"The
father did not even bring this issue before the court. So it's the
judge on his own and making this decision that you can't see your child
until you're vaccinated."

Judge Reverses Decision After
Public Backlash
As horrifying as that story is, there is good news. August 30, 2021,
Judge Shapiro did a sudden about-face and reversed his decision to keep
Firlit from seeing her son. (#4)
According to Fernholz, Shapiro's decision
to reverse his ruling was prompted by the national backlash that took
place after Fox32 News broke the story, days earlier. The Illinois
divorce bar reportedly also got involved.

Is Vaccination Now a Tool of the
Judicial System?
As reported by The Washington Post, a number of judges around the U.S.
have started using the COVID shot as a reward/punishment tool: (#5)
"A
judge in the 19th Judicial District Court in East Baton Rouge offered
some defendants the option of getting vaccinated instead of completing
community service hours.
Two judges in Ohio have also ordered
that some people receive the vaccine as a condition of their probation.
Similarly, two Georgia judges are reducing sentences for some offenders
who get a vaccine.
In New York, judges in the Bronx and
Manhattan have ordered defendants to get a vaccine as part of their
rehabilitation and as a condition for seeking bail, respectively."
How is any of this even remotely possible? Should opting in or out of a
medical treatment really determine your ability to get fair treatment
in the judicial system?

Dehumanization Is Part of the Plan
Disturbingly, it appears our judicial system is yet another cesspool of
corruption that is now being used to further the globalist plan for a
Great Reset. Dehumanizing people for their medical choices is part and
parcel of that plan, as vaccine passports will serve as the platform
for more invasive surveillance, social engineering and population
control.
The rhetoric used by government officials and media is clearly meant to
incite fear and hostility against the unvaccinated. Once the hostility
becomes normalized, the undesirables can be eliminated with the full
support of the general population.
Those familiar with history will quickly recognize the playbook. It's
been used by virtually every totalitarian and dictatorial power
throughout modern history. One of the clearest and most well-known
examples is that of Nazi Germany, which used health and the fear of
germs and disease as a means to manipulate society into accepting the
extermination of certain groups of people.
We're now seeing the same exact tactics used all over the world. The
rhetoric used by government officials and media is clearly meant to
incite fear and hostility against the unvaccinated. Once the hostility
becomes normalized, the undesirables can be eliminated with the full
support of the general population.

Second-Class Citizens
Everywhere you look, people in positions of power are actively pushing
for the creation of a two-tier society where those who get the COVID
jabs are "privileged" with normal everyday freedoms and those who
refuse the shot are shunned, barred and excluded.
As of September 7, 2021, high-profile restaurant chains in New York
City will require staff and indoor diners to prove their vaccination
status. (#6)
Gyms and movie theaters in the city are also being ordered to
follow suit. (#7)
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio told The New York Times: (#8)
"This
is a miraculous place literally
full of wonders. If you're vaccinated, all that's going to open up to
you. But if you're unvaccinated, unfortunately you will not be able to
participate in many things."
Is this freedom? In July 2021, the San Francisco Bar Owners Alliance
urged its 300 members to require proof of COVID-19 injection or a
negative COVID test for patrons wanting to have a drink indoors.
Several Los Angeles restaurants, bars and comedy clubs have followed
suit, as have more than 60 establishments in Seattle. Vaccinated-only
restaurants have also popped up in Oakland, Philadelphia, Boston,
Atlanta, Boulder, St. Louis and New Orleans. Since COVID
countermeasures are a global lockstep operation, (#9) the same segregation
trend is emerging in other countries as well.
Worse than prohibiting people from participating in civil society, and
in clear violation of the U.S. Constitution that every elected official
has sworn an oath to upkeep, the U.S. government is also urging far
larger corporations to impose vaccination mandates for staff and/or
their customers.
Companies paving the way for this all-out tyranny include Facebook,
Google, Twitter, Lyft, Uber, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Washington Post,
BlackRock, Ascension Health, Netflix, Walmart, the Walt Disney
Corporation, Morgan Stanley, (#10)
Tyson Foods, CNN and United Airlines. (#11)

The Goal: Making Life Impossible
for the Unvaccinated
A number of people have publicly stated that life needs to be made
impossible for the unvaccinated and, clearly, such efforts are well
underway. Politicians, government officials, health authorities, media
personalities and common folk have suggested making life untenable for
the unvaccinated by: (#12)
* Requiring them to get tested daily at
their own expense
* Docking their paychecks (provided they're allowed to work at all)
* Charging them nonrefundable quarantine fees
* Denying them medical care at hospitals and private medical offices
* Canceling their private insurance or raising premiums by thousands of
dollars a year
* Forcing them to pay out of pocket for all medical expenses accrued
due to COVID, even if they have insurance, Medicaid or Medicare (#13)
* Suspending their gun permits
* Suspending their driver's licenses
* Denying access to loans and other financial services
* Withholding government assistance
* Withholding federal benefits like Social Security, VA benefits,
subsidized housing and pensions
* Barring them from using public transportation
* Putting them on a no-fly list (#14)
Many of these suggestions are already being acted upon. For example,
Delta Airlines has announced it will charge unvaccinated workers an
extra $200 per month for their health insurance, (#15) and digital
transaction companies like PayPal are canceling accounts held by anyone
who "endangers at-risk communities" (#16) — a description that
clearly
includes anyone who publicly objects to COVID measures and/or forced
vaccinations.
Even major banks like Chase have been caught canceling credit card
accounts based on the account holders' political views. (#17) (#18) Although
Chase later backed off, claiming the cancelation was a "mistake," (#19)
this is precisely what we can expect from a social credit system, which
is also part of the plan. Your ability to live and conduct business
will be entirely controlled by a central apparatus that decides what
views and behavior is acceptable and what is not.
Disturbingly, it was only four weeks ago that I wrote: "If this trend
continues, might people who question COVID shots and/or refuse to
participate in human experimentation be barred from having a credit
card or a bank account?" So, to say we're moving toward tyranny at
breakneck speed is not hyperbole.

A Right to Life?
Some are even promoting death as the ultimate punishment for the
unvaccinated. One of the first people to introduce this notion was CNN
anchor Don Lemon, who stated he thinks the COVID jab should be a
requirement for buying food. (#20)
(#21)
Apparently, Lemon thinks it's perfectly reasonable to condemn
unvaccinated people to starvation. This, while living in one of the
most prosperous countries in the world, and all in the name of
preventing the spread of an infection that has a 99.74% survival rate (#22)
and spreads just as easily between vaccinated individuals.
Lemon's shocking rhetoric raises a basic question: Do humans have the
right to life? Or should someone, somewhere, be granted the god-like
power to decide who is worthy of living and who's not, based on
whatever criteria they want?
Back to Contents
There's No Morality in Mob
Mentality
To understand what's really happening and what Lemon's rhetoric is
accomplishing, I highly recommend reading Charles Eisenstein's article
"Mob Morality and the Unvaxxed." It's an excellent and
thought-provoking piece. Here's a few chosen excerpts: (#23)
"We
would like to think that modern societies like ours have outgrown
barbaric customs like human sacrifice … we don't actually kill people
in hopes of placating the gods and restoring order. Or do we? …
Not just any victim will do as an
object of human sacrifice. Victims must be, as [legal scholar Roberta]
Harding puts it, 'in, but not of, the society' … Scapegoats needn't be
guilty, but they must be marginal, outcasts, heretics, taboo-breakers,
or infidels of one kind or another … If they are not already marginal,
they must be made so …
[D]efying left-right categorization
is a promising new scapegoat class, the heretics of our time: the
anti-vaxxers. As a readily identifiable subpopulation, they are ideal
candidates for scapegoating. It matters little whether any of these
pose a real threat to society …
All that is necessary is that the
dehumanized class arouse the blind indignation and rage necessary to
incite a paroxysm of unifying violence. More relevant to current times,
this primal mob energy can be harnessed toward fascistic political ends
…
Sacrificial subjects carry an
association of pollution or contagion; their removal thus cleanses
society … The public's ready acceptance of … blatant censorship cannot
be explained solely in terms of its believing the pretext of
'controlling misinformation.'
Unconsciously, the public recognizes
and conforms to the age-old program of investing a pariah subclass with
the symbology of pollution … This program is well underway toward the
Covid-unvaxxed, who are being portrayed as walking cesspools of germs
who might contaminate the Sanctified Brethren (the vaccinated).
My wife perused an acupuncture
Facebook page today … where someone asked, 'What is the word that comes
to mind to describe unvaccinated people?' The responses were things
like 'filth,' 'assholes,' and 'death-eaters.' This is precisely the
dehumanization necessary to prepare a class of people for cleansing …
To prepare someone for removal as the
repository of all that is evil, it helps to heap upon them every
imaginable calumny. Thus we hear in mainstream publications that
anti-vaxxers not only are killing people, but are … tantamount to
domestic terrorists."
Indeed, "opposition to COVID measures" currently tops the Department of
Homeland Security's list of potential terror threats.

Unify for Freedom Under a Banner
of Sanity
In August 2021, I published an article about mass psychosis, (#24) an
epidemic of madness that occurs when a large portion of society loses
touch with reality and descends into delusions.
The psychogenic steps that lead to madness include a panic phase, where
the individual is repeatedly frightened and confused by events they
cannot explain, followed by a phase of "psychotic insight," where the
individual explains their abnormal experience of the world by inventing
an illogical but magical way of seeing reality that eases the panic and
gives meaning to the experience.
The technocrats who created and maintain the pandemic narrative,
worldwide, know all about how to induce mass psychosis, and what we're
experiencing is by far the biggest and most sophisticated propaganda
campaign in the history of the human race. They're using all the known
tricks, and it's clearly working, largely due to exponential
effectiveness of technology and social media.
If you've been able to see through their machinations, congratulations.
The onus is now on you to help others free their minds, which is not an
easy task. It's not even easy to stay sane yourself. Contradictory
reports, nonsensical recommendations and blatant lies are deployed
intentionally, as it heightens confusion.
The more confused a population is, the greater the state of anxiety,
which reduces people's psychological resilience. As the ability to cope
wanes, the greater the chances a mass psychosis will develop. Add
isolation to that equation, and the susceptibility of psychosis is
further heightened, as people lose contact with positive examples —
people who act as role models of rational thinking and behavior.
Once a society is firmly in the grip of mass psychosis, totalitarians
are then free to take the last, decisive step: They can offer a return
to order and safety. The price is your freedom. You must cede control
of all aspects of your life to the rulers, because unless they are
granted total control, they won't be able to create the order and
safety everyone craves.
In this case, vaccine passports are part of the "magical thinking" that
those who have lost touch with reality believe will save them. It's an
illusion of safety, as the virus spreads equally well among and between
the fully "vaccinated." Even if they killed every single unvaccinated
person in the whole world, outbreaks would continue and they'd have to
identify a new scapegoat.

Help Heal the Mass Psychosis
Fortunately, it is possible to reverse the effects of mass psychosis,
but it takes time, effort and patience. First, center yourself and live
in such a way as to provide inspiration for others to follow. Next,
share and spread the truth — the counternarrative to the propaganda —
as far and wide as possible.
Because truth is always more potent than lies, the success of
propaganda relies on the censoring of truth. Right now, online
censorship and propaganda are off the charts, so you may have to get
creative. One tactic is to use humor and ridicule to delegitimize the
lies.
At the same time, create parallel structures — businesses,
organizations, technologies, movements or creative pursuits — based on
sane and rational principles currently lacking in the world around us.
Last but not least, to prevent the descent into totalitarian madness,
as many people as possible must employ sane and rational actions to
create a strong resistance to the lies and propaganda. The ruling
technocracy do not sit around hoping and wishing to increase their
power and control. No. They are actively taking steps to augment their
position. To defend against them, we must be just as active and
resolute in our counter-push toward freedom.
