Ms. Half-Face

I went to the LCBO today at 7:55 because of the line at the Beer Store across the street. It reminded me of the idiot lines at Duffy's Tavern back in the 1970s.

Duffy's was a very popular bar on King Street, north side between Hughson and John.

On weekends it was always filled to capacity. In those days "capacity" was based on fire safety, not some exaggerated invisible threat.

Duffy's had devised a clever method of line control.

They had two lines.

The first line was out on the street. A bouncer would stand at the door to control access. I must admit, I was fooled by this more than once. There was always a group of us and once we got the green light from the doorman we were thrilled to have finally gained access to the tavern, only to discover ANOTHER line.

This was rather clever. If a patron saw a line that was too long, he or she might have been deterred from waiting, but by the time you got to the second line, you had already invested your time.

This second line went down a stairway into the actual bar area. Another bouncer stood down there.

The bouncers were always rude. I've seen it many times. Give someone a little bit of authority and they will milk it to the mask, I mean max.

So one night, when two of my buddies and I were allowed to enter the street door, the bouncer barked, "get over there and stand against the wall."

Something clicked in me. I turned to my friends and said, "Wait a minute! We are supposed to be customers here. They are treating us like inmates in a concentration camp. Are you guys willing to put up with that?"

For once, I had some consensus. We all turned around and walked out.

One of the guys was an unruly drinker. On our way out, he ripped some kind of poster off of the wall. I thought it was a valid statement.

Fast forward to today. I was third or fourth in line at the Beer Store. I've really had it up to the eyeballs with this sci-fi drama we have all been forced to be extras in. I noticed there was no lineup at the LCBO across the street and I still had five minutes before it closed, so I got in my car and went there. Muscle memory.

I picked up my six and on my way to the cash, I noticed HER.

Sidenote: I have noticed, after 15 months of this clown show, that I have adapted somewhat in my ability to recognize faces. It's kind of like how you unconsciously learn to lip-read when your hearing deteriorates.

I am beginning to be able to recognize half-faces.

And there I was, at the LCBO, and I recognized THAT half-face. If I had seen her at Walmart or Freshco, I might not have noticed, unless she started following me around to see whether the stuff I was putting in my cart was "essential."

But this was the LCBO and I had already become acquainted with the half-face lady in that context.

She was the one who sheepdogged me back to the little square cut-out in the plexiglass where payment is supposed to be done. (Aarff! Baaah!) Because my hearing ain't so good anymore, I always walk past the radiation shield to hear better. Not wishing to be denied access to the essential booze I was buying, I let her bully me, but I couldn't resist commenting, "It's like we're all just extras in a sci-fi movie," to which she replied, "Well, some of those extras aren't getting it. I raised my eyebrows and said, "Is that right?"

The next time I bumped into Ms. Half-Face was about two weeks ago. I was careful to stand in front of the square cut-out for this flaming neurotic, again, out of fear of losing access to essentials.

The transaction went smoothly but I noticed she was STILL agitated. As it turned out, the lady behind me in the commie queue had walked past THE SIGN! The fact that there was still a good ten feet separating us made no difference to Ms. Half-Face. She barked at the hapless extra for not following the choreography. "You have to stand at the sign!!!"

That wasn't the end of it. Ms. Half-Face marched away from her cash register to deliver a stern lecture to the poor sheepling about the critical importance of saving lives via mindless conformity.

I think the scamdemic has nudged us all into a new form of non-verbal communication and half-face recognition because when I went back to the LCBO this evening, I noticed her looking at me with those narrowed eyes. "I've got my eye on you, you recalcitrant white supremacist," I imagined her thinking.

Thankfully, she wasn't the cashier I got. Mine was actually pleasant. I asked her if these plexiglass shields might be available for sale, at bargain-basement prices, once this insanity ended and she replied, "I don't think it ever will end."

I agreed with her, saying, more or less, "They have a whole warehouse full of emergencies at the ready, not least of which is the bogus climate emergency, that will give the control freaks and opportunists an excuse to impose this travesty from now until doomsday.

She agreed.

Then I noticed that Ms. Half-Face was glaring at us both.

It didn't take me long to figure out why.

I had moved beyond the radiation shield to conduct my business.

I hope I didn't get the sane lady in any trouble.

As I think about it now, I am starting to visualize a scenario where, on a future visit to that LCBO, I might have my essentials in hand and I will be able to tell Ms. Half-Face to go and fuck herself.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE GREAT CONVERGENCE

The Sign.

Today a friend wrote to me,

"I went into IdiotWorld the other day.  I went under the taped off areas grabbed socks, golf balls and brio filters. 

I knew I would be on video but I didn't give a fuck.  I went to the self check out and everything went through no problem.  Not one of the WallyWorld workers asked me anything even though there were a few of them wiping down the self check counters. 

I don't think they really give a fuck....and neither do I."

Some people, probably most people, judging from what I hear and see around me... like the people wearing face diapers in their cars or while walking down the street. And the shite they spew on CH News every day... would be appalled by the attitude of this person, but I like him. No wonder CHCH News shadow-banned me from their YouTube channel, probably, and instantly (psyche training) would conclude that this man, like myself, is some kind of a male White Republican, white supremacist, sexist, ablelist, KKK member, conspiracy theorist.

But I think he is quite sane, is asking the right questions, and, as a person of intelligence, is grossly insulted by the amount of bullshit that is currently flying around about COVID-19, along with the number of people who are just sucking it up. Gobbling it. Slurping it.

Yep. Don't that ejaculate taste great?

So, I went to the LCBO yesterday to buy some beer.

She was there.

Middle-aged. Gray-haired. I didn't get a look at her face...

But I vaguely remembered she was the one who gave me shit for walking past the plexiglass, instead of conducting our business through the little square hole designed for commercial exchange.

Under different circumstances, I would have told her to go and fuck herself. But I needed the beer, it was essential, so I played along.

I commented to her, "This is right out of some sci-fi movie, and all of us are just extras."

She replied, indignantly, "Right, but some of these extras just aren't getting it."

Instantly, I knew I was dealing with one of them.

I just rolled my eyes and said "Is that right?"

It's a crapshoot out there. 

I think a lot more people than let up admit that they are gradually coming around to the idea that this whole shitshow is nothing but a farce.

Those that see it are less likely to enforce its idiocy. That is why some of us can still get away with buying shit that is on the "vebotten" list. You can buy Dorritoes, but you can't buy plates to eat your food on. If you break a "non-essential" plate well, you can still lick the floor.

But there are still those astonishingly neurotic individuals who think this is a real-life version of some sci-fi movie.

Case in point:  

During an essential visit to the same liquor store, yesterday, there was only one cashier. She waved me over. I suspected it was the same woman I had met before, so I carefully avoided standing to the side of the plexiglass and paid her through the hole. I don't need any friction when it comes to buying beer.

Fuck. I'll put on a clown hat if that's what they want. I'll even wear an adult diaper outside my pants so long as it doesn't socially distance me from my beer. And as long as it hasn't already been used.

But the poor woman in line behind me, I felt rather sorry for her.

She had walked past the fucking sign! Can you believe it?

Didn't she know she was putting people's lives at risk???

Anyway, the ever-vigilant LCBO cashier noticed her transgression and ordered her to move back to where the sign was, even though she was a good ten feet behind me as I went through the checkpoint.

On top of that, after this vigilant social disciplinarian had concluded her business with me, she actually left her post, walked up to the disease-carrying customer, and proceeded to deliver a lecture on the importance of following the posted rules.

At first, I felt sorry for the poor customer behind me.

But as I walked out, I had another thought.

I thought that, "if you are willing to bend over, spread your ass-cheeks, and take this fucking bullshit without complaint,"

Then you deserve it.

On the other hand, I still wanted the beer, so I was no better than her.

Hesitant, Yet?

"will be allowed to watch"

Let that sink in.

This is the new Canada.

What about the old Canada?

You know. The one where you could do whatever you liked? Like, if you wanted to go to a restaurant, or a show, or have friends over, or go fishing.

If you've thought about any of those things, lately, has it been followed by the question? Is it allowed?

Don't you listen to the news?

The news is generally useless, but these days it has become slightly more usefull. It's no longer a place you go for perspective or insight. It's the place you go to find out what you might be permitted to do. As you hold your breath and wait for the latest PCR test numbers. Or the number of people who have volunteered to participate in the vaccine experiment.

It has been established. Your freedom is no longer considered to be a basic human right. As Fred Eisenberger is alleged to have recently stated, and knowing Fred as I do, I have no reason to doubt that he would have said such a thing, "human rights are not infinite." In other words, human rights are limited, to what people like Fred Eisenberger thinks.

Which means that, if people like Fred Eisenberger get to decide the finite boundaries of our basic rights, we ain't got no fucking rights.

You idiots. You let what used to be Canada slip through your hands. It's gone. And you didn't even bat an eye.

Keep your eye on the ball. What we have seen happen over the last sixteen months has very little to do with the WuFlu. I has shown us just how vulnerable our dumbed-down population is to having their whole lives turned upside-down by a convergence of opportunism.

Whatever fucked-up opinion you might have, on any issue, if you still believe that, as a Canadian, you have freedom, you are a fucking retard.

"I appear before you this evening as a thief and a robber. I stole this head, these limbs, this body from my master and ran off with them." -- Frederick Douglass

I have asked the same question to everyone I know who is getting, or has gotten the V*****e. "Did you get tested for antibodies in case you were one of the majority who got C*******9, but only experienced mild or no symptoms? If so, you should already be immune to the disease?

Not one of them did.

As of today, 504,304 "confirmed" cases of C*******9 in Ontario are listed as recovered. Do they still need to get j****d?

It asbolutely staggers my mind that so many people have so much trust in what corporate news tells them, so little knowledge of how capitalism, when entwined with politics works to skew market outcomes, and, worst of all, how little curiosity they have. "Awe, just go with the flow!"

Here is an example of some of the "reasoning" I encountered during one of those conversations. "The V*****e is safe because I think it is safe." The most common reason given for taking the V*****e is because they want their freedom back. "I want to travel!"

I want my freedom back too. But I refuse to accept that I have to buy it back by getting j****d, when I know that freedom is a basic right, not something you have to buy from the government. Instead of taking the easy human livestock route, I would rather fight for the freedom that is already mine.

I learn something new, every day, about this pan___ic. Today, I learned that you can get tested for prior infection even if you no longer have antibodies in your system.

The "Fluid Mindset" of Junk News Writers

The Toronto Star starts out lying in the very first paragraph and it only gets worse from there.

The article is so completely full of shite that I just had to waste time commenting on it.

For misinformation expert Timothy Caulfield, the most absurd aspect of the vaccine “shedding” conspiracy is that the very same people who once called COVID-19 a hoax are now scared of the virus — but only if it comes from people who’ve been vaccinated.https://t.co/t5VbkB55ia

— Hamilton Spectator (@TheSpec) May 24, 2021

Before I start my rant, let me clear something up. I have been calling the COVID-19 story a hoax almost from the start, but that doesn't mean I don't think the virus isn't real. I believe the virus IS real. The hoax, to my mind, is the manner in which the threat of the virus has been hyped and exagerated out of all proportion to its lethality.

Now, let's analyse some of "misinformation expert," Timothy Caulfield's "fluid thinking" on the subject.

"The fake news can have dire consequences, such as when a man in the United States died last year after drinking chloroquine, a malaria treatment that then-president Donald Trump touted as effective against COVID-19. (It’s not)."

What Trump actually said, was that chloroquine had shown some very encouraging early results. (It had. See - "There was, moreover, convincing evidence from early trials in China about the efficacy of CQ and HCQ in the anti-COVID-19 procedure." )

The real whopper from "misinformation expert" Timothy Caulfield is that a man drank chloroquine and died.

What the man actually drank was chloroquine phospate which is about as different from drinking chloroquine as drinking salt water is from drinking chlorine bleach. Ordinarilly, one could grant some leeway to someone for not knowing the difference every first-semester chemistry student would know between a glass of sodium chloride solution and a big mug of chlorine bleach. As a "misinformation expert" Timothy Caulfield should know this. Therefore, he can only be lying. He is a "misinformation expert" alright.

If there is anyone to blame for the death of the man who drank fish-tank cleaner to protect him from the Coof, it is the Junk News media for convincing "fluid mindset" thinkers that COVID-19 was comparable to the Black Plague.

I am aware that there are some elements of resistance to the WuFlu hoax who claim that the virus does not exist at all. That is not who I am. Nor is it the opinion of the growing number of "random huckster[s]^[1] on YouTube" that I have consulted for my own "conspiracy theories" about the Coof.

Yet this, so-called "misinformation expert," Timothy Caulfield confidently states that I am vaccine shedding conspiracist. Mr Caulfield is either misinformed, or he is a liar. As a BS detection expert myself, I can tell you that Mr. Cauldfield is chock full of it.

"For misinformation expert Timothy Caulfield, the most absurd aspect of the vaccine “shedding” conspiracy is that the very same people who once called COVID-19 a hoax are now scared of the virus — but only if it comes from people who’ve already been vaccinated." (italics - mine)

As someone who calls the COVID-19 infodemic a grand hoax, though familiar with the vaccine shedding theory, I am not one of its adherants and therefore, I am NOT one of the "very same people" Mr. Cauldfield is attempting to exploit in order to smear all Coof sceptics.

Cauldfield's intellectual dishonesty is revealed in his claim that the most absurd aspect of the vaccine “shedding” "conspiracy," (which isn't a "conspiracy" at all, it's a theory,) is the people who he thinks advance it. Whether the theory, independent of its adherants, is absurd or not, isn't addressed. This isn't an argument. It's a psychological assault.

There is absolutely nothing in this propaganda bulletin that describes the specific claims of the vaccine shedding theory, nor any substantive argument as to why it is false. Instead, the author demands that readers have faith in the chosen ones whom Junk News media consults for citations of Coof scripture.

Another "expert" quoted in this Junk News propaganda bulletin is University of Alberta political scientist, Jared Wesley.

“The fixed mindset is a key element of conspiratorial thinking,” Wesley said. “People cling to conspiracies because they provide a kind of certainty in an uncertain world, and they’re not getting it from experts who … are more likely to not obfuscate, but to provide nuance.”

It’s why someone might dismiss a public health expert with decades of experience as someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about and then buy in to the dubious claims of a YouTube entrepreneur. Or in the case of Trump, a reality TV star turned politician."

On the other hand, we have the idiot, sorry, person with a "fluid mindset" walking all alone across a golf course or a football field wearing a mask, and who wears one while driving and probably wears it at home, in bed, and while taking a shower. This sort of person is a prime example of someone who derives "a kind of certainty in an uncertain world" from government-subsidized Junk News outlets!

Where is he getting his information from? Public health experts with decades of experience? Or from Junk News venues like the Toronto Star, the Hamilton Spectator, and CHCH News, who get their information from public health bureaucrats with decades of experience advancing their public sector careers by kissing politicians asses?

On a personal level, the people I have had acrimonious encounters with, mostly staff in grocery stores, are those who are most certain that the crap they see on the six o'clock news is all the information they require to have an informed opinion. They will also be the ones to tell you to "listen to the science" even though they probably would not be able to describe the difference between H₂O and HCl, hence more likely to drink a cup of HCl if the lady on TV told them to.

"Another strategy is appealing to personal identity; while people do trust academics and medical experts, they are almost equally likely to trust “someone like them,” Caulfield says. This could be a neighbour, a family member or a random huckster on YouTube who seems to substantiate what the guy down the street told you about masks."

Speaking of "personal identity," I can't really relate to that. Most of the people I have had a chance to discuss COVID-19 with personally, identify with the herd. I am not "someone like them" at all. They have intellectual herd immunity facilitated by a fluid mindset. This includes neighbours, family members, or some random huckster, or "misinformation expert" usually a politician or other tax-funded professional, the guy down the street saw on the six o'clock news or read about in the Hamilton Spectator.

I do not consult Junk News for vital information on any subject, other than the most basic coverage of things like car crashes or road clusures or bake sales. When I do take the time to read through their trash, it is mainly to analyse the dishonest tactics they use to fill the minds of "fluid" thinkers with manipulative crud.

If you are genuinely curious about any subject with political implications, Junk News is the LAST place you should be looking. If, on the other hand, you simply don't have the time, skills, inclination and judgment or a mindset fixed on truth and facts you would be better off if you consulted Junk News to find out what, in all probability, ISN'T TRUE, and thus, assume the opposite.

72% of Canadians support mandatory coronavirus vaccine

72% of Canadians support mandatory coronavirus vaccine

I think that, maybe, they realize that too many people are getting wise to the PCR fraud, so they are going to segue into a different standard. A vaccine mandate enforced through the back door via vaccine passports.

What will it look like, if after ordering so many doses of the vaccine, not enough people take them up on it?

After all, what is the meaning of "government intervention," if not to alter the otherwise spontaneous equilibrium of voluntary buyers and sellers, in favour of some political preference, ideology, promise, or some other fraudulent economic sleight of hand?

More wasted $millions. Net losses to society. Less wealth to "share."

That would be egg on their faces.

When a genius like Justin Trudeau decides to order $2 billion worth of "testing, ventilators, (yeah, ventilators) and personal protective equipment," what would it look like if it turned out all of that stuff was not needed? The solution from the point of view of politicians is quite simple. Mandate its use. "We god damned guarantee that it will be needed." It also provides some insight into what Trudeau means when he says he admires China because their communist system allows them to "turn their economy around on a dime." And control the planet's temperature.

No demand for wasted resources? Mandate the demand. Either directly, or via typical liberal sleaze.

If in-your-face mandates can be avoided because it doesn't look good,

enact a sleazy new standard, where our freedoms are linked to the number of people who get jabbed.

It's a smart plan. After all, it will save some $ in their propaganda efforts. The population will be split between those who salivate for the jab, and those who are a little bit more suspicious of political motives, reserved, or are "vaccine hesitant." (A.K.A. "anti-vaxxers" in most Junk News reports.)

Instead of wasting $millions on government-funded PSAs, this new policy will inspire unpaid propaganda volunteers to exert pressure upon their friends and family members to get the jab - JUST SO THEY CAN BE GRANTED - some measure of freedom, and some peace from the nagging relatives. By the way, the lost friends, and tension, and acrimony should also be accounted for in any tally of the collateral damage caused by NPIs. (Non Pharmaceutical Interventions.)

No controversial mandates required. Just link personal liberty, or Charter rights, to vax stats. Canadians have already been almost thoroughly acclimated to collectivized decision-making. And don't worry about that worrisome "reasonable limits" limitation.

1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

Thanks to COVID-19 we have ALL been given a demonstration of what Section 1 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms really means for Canadians. It means Canadians SQUAT all rights. I have always known this. The meaning is quite clear. You have these rights, but you don't have them. They are all subservient to the opinions of whomever gets to decide what "reasonable limits" are, and whether they have been demonstrably justified by whomever has the decision-making power to demonstrably justify them, like bureaucrats who have been crowned as the "top doctors," even though some of the non-top-doctors might disagree.

It's so easy to understand, unless you are suffering from Nth stage dementia, or in an induced coma on a ventilator.

It's brilliant!

Get the population to fight it out among themselves, just like they have done with the CoofRag mandates. And it won't cost a penny in tax dollars.

"The vaccine is safe because I want it to be safe."

Will This Sleazy Psy-Op Work?

Of course, it will.

As a boomer, I can think back to a time when it would not have worked at all. Like back in 1969 when the Woodstock generation would have responded, "Masks and lockdowns? Screw you!"

But this is a different age. Fifty plus years separates us now. A lot of voters today weren't even alive back in '69. They've had half a century of collectivist brainwashing in the public schools, on TV, and in the "news." You don't need physical chains if you can get hold of kids at the tender age of four or five. By the time the public school system grants their parole, their minds have been completely bound.

Look at the pictures of the BLM and Antifa rioters. At first glance you might think, "Well, these people haven't been brainwashed! Look at how they are rebelling against the system!"

And then look at how many of these "rebels" are wearing masks.

Marx inspired public education has got them EXACTLY where they wanted them. And they don't even know it.

Are COVID-19 immunization passports coming?

Yeah.

Probably.

Behind one mask or another.

Some people I talk to think this system will soon experience a dramatic collapse.

Others think it will be a slow and creeping demise, in the manner of the boiling frogs aphorism. By the time it has reached the point of no return, it will be too late.

I tend to the slow and creeping demise scenario. One or two millenia from now, scholars will study us to gain insight into how civilizations rise and fall, and reach a point of stasis that can last for - millenia.
