It is kind of getting annoying. Now they want to crack down on masks. Like this entire time I've been rigorous about wearing masks and gloves. From the beginning, even when the CDC was saying they 'weren't effective.' But now as things are settling down, I'm a little more lax about it. But I had to buy something from the auto-parts store and I parked really ar away. I went into the store and they were like "Sir, you need a mask." I'm like "you literally want me to walk 1/3rd of a mile just to get my mask?" and she said "sorry sir, my manager could come in at any minute." I was pretty annoyed. Like nobody was bitching about the mask when it was actually dangerous, but now that things have settled down all of a sudden it's policy. It shows how much lag there is within bureaucracies.
But is that a policy implemented by the store itself or by requirement of the state?

Yup...in fact, just a couple of short months ago we were being told the masks are ineffective and may even be harmful to us. Either they're incompetent or lying to us...I'm going with both.

That's the beauty of it. The fear is so prevalent now that the government doesn't need to require anything.
The zeitgeist right now is that everyone must wear masks and practice social distancing. Why? Who knows!
The latest numbers for my country show that there is one case out of 100000 citizens. You think that shops stopped duct taping lines on their floors?
Also, Libya, a country that's still ravaged by civil war and armed militias. A country where there is one official government, and one Leader of the Militias as heads of state. A country where counties are ruled not by bureaucrats, but by men with kalashnikovs... Has somehow implemented mobile payment processing and cashless shopping and commerce.
Anything goes when people are too busy being scared to actually question what's happening.

I’ve forgotten to wear a mask into a few places thus far, and no one has said a word except the barista nazi at Starbucks, and that was outside.

Curbside no contact pick up, and you’d think I was beating off on the front stairs.

"The Art of Subversion"

Political subversion
is typically when you demoralize, destabilize, economically and societally shatter a nation in order to put the pieces back together in a configuration more amenable to the subverter. Contrary to popular conception, it is not a formless art conducted in the shadows. In free societies, it can easily be carried out in the open.
KYLE BECKER



Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. – Sun Tzu


The "magic" in this process is the time frame involved. The masses of people never notice the incremental steps involved during their lifetimes, (they're usually too busy getting on with their lives).
The "narrative" of COVID 19 has undoubtedly initiated fast track measures in stripping peoples rights and freedoms. But the process up until the year 2020 has been ongoing.

The four stages to Ideological subversion of "nations".

Demoralization and destabilization, which has taken over a couple of decades' till now.

The next stage is CRISIS.
It may take only six weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis. You see it in Central America now. And after crisis, with a violent change in power, structure, and economy, you have the period of so-called normalization will last indefinitely. Normalization is a cynical expression borrowed from Soviet propaganda. When the Soviet tanks moved into Czechoslovakia in '68, Brezhnev said, 'now brother Czechoslovakia is normalized.' This is what will happen in the United States if you allow all these schmucks to promise all the goodies and paradise on earth to destabilize your economy, to eliminate the principle of free market competition, and to put a big brother government in Washington, D.C. with benevolent dictators – Yuri Bezmenov 1983

Guys, "If you don't learn the "process of historical events", then they're bound to repeat.

Note: "Conspiracy Theorist" is a slogan instilled to repel any serious debate.
The Term "Conspiracy Theory" Was Invented by the CIA In Order To Prevent Disbelief of Official Government Stories, and it works extremely well, haha.

The cop came in during her FB live video.You can find it if you search for it and then go to the last 5 minutes.

Ridiculous.

The plus side is that she’s probably getting a lot of sales now!
Clearly some f'n rat is just watching and reporting every time someone goes in the store.

I wish people would just adhere to good old fashioned "mind your own businessism!"
As in, you don't hurt me and I won't hurt you.

Speaking of conspiracy nuts, I find the following quite amusing, I think someone had possibly some fun with it all.

The corona virus was declared a pandemic on 11 March.

Revelation 3:11 KJV:
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

[Latin corona, meaning "crown" or "wreath"]

Revelation 3:10 KJV:
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

And not just any Bible verse. Verses from Revelations - the book specifically devoted to the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus.

Definitely an achievement

Yeah, don’t make Dave mad by misspelling an antilegomenical book of the Bible, Chris! Don’t make Dave even madder by questioning its Greek mythological influence or authorship either because Hell is totally a real thing and you will end up there if you don’t spell properly!

Lol, I think the Bible is a fascinating book but I'm certainly not worried that the Coronavirus is the end of the world.

Neither am I, lol. But if I were a decision maker at the WHO, I would've chosen the same date, laughing up my sleeve.

“It assumes an overall symptomatic case fatality rate (CFR) of 0.4 percent, falling to 0.05 percent among people younger than 50 and rising to 1.3 percent among people 65 and older. For people in the middle (ages 50–64), the estimated CFR is 0.2 percent.”

These are the latest estimates by the cdc. Note that this is case fatality rate of “symptomatic” people. The actual #’s go down even further when asymptomatic people are taken into account. This has been apparent for about a month now, be completely wary of any expert or politician painting a different picture than this. They are either stupid, liars, or both.
