Resist.
They can’t arrest us all. They can’t keep all your kids home from school. They can’t keep every government building closed – although I’ve got a long list of ones they should.
We don’t have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and feckless bureaucrats. We can simply say no, not again.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi — you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing our jobs. We have all either had COVID, had the vaccine, or been offered the vaccine. We will make our own health choices. We will not show you a passport, we will not wear a mask, we will not be forced into random screening and testing so you can continue your drunk with power rein over the Capitol.
President Biden — we will not accept your agencies’ mandates or your reported moves toward a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC’s anti-science mask mandates. And if you want to shutdown federal agencies again — some of which aren’t even back to work fully — I will stop every bill coming through the Senate with an amendment to cut their funding if they don’t come to work.
No more.
Local bureaucrats and union bosses — we will not allow you to do more harm to our children again this year. Children are not at any more risk from COVID than they are for the seasonal flu. Every adult who works in schools has either had the vaccine or had their chance to. There is no reason for mask mandates, part time schools, or any lockdown measures.
Children are falling behind in school, and are being harmed physically and psychologically by the tactics you have used to keep them from the classroom last year. We won’t allow it again.
If a school system attempts to keep the children from full-time, in-person school, I will hold up every bill with two amendments. One to defund them, and another to allow parents the choice of where the money goes for their child’s education.
Do I sound fed up to you? That’s because I am.
I’m not a career politician. I’ve practiced medicine for 33 years. I graduated from Duke Medical School, worked in emergency rooms, studied immunology and virology, and ultimately chose to become a surgeon.
I have been telling everyone for a year now that Dr. Anthony Fauci and other public health officials were NOT following science, and I’ve been proven right time and time again.
But I’m not the only one who is fed up.
I can’t go anywhere these days — from work, to events, to airports and Ubers, restaurants and stores, without people coming up to me thanking me for standing up for them.
For standing up for actual science. For standing up for freedom. For standing against mandates, lockdowns, and bureaucratic power grabs.
I think the tide has turned, and more and more people are willing to stand up. I see stories from across the country of parents standing up to teacher unions and school boards.
I see members of Congress refusing to comply with Petty Tyrant Pelosi.
We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?
Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom.
Normally, I like Brandon Smith’s work. This time he lost me and for right now I stopped reading when he got to the .26% IFR crap, which is used to downplay the seriousness of the disease. The IFR is the numbers who died as a percentage of the entire population, not of the people who contracted it. Just the other day, a guy on a local forum was asking for prayers because he had been in the hospital for two weeks and had the choice of wear a bipap continuously (and not eat) or go on a vent. He hasn’t been heard from in a few days. He is in his 40s with no known health issues. So please spare us the shit about how only the old or the unhealthy need to worry. One can make a valid point without going down that road.
The point that mandatory ‘vaccination’ is wrong is correct and stands on its own. We are on the cusp of things getting spicy as people are threatened with loss of livelihood. As even Wes published recently, the only thing staying violent hands is the benefits not being worth the cost and that is changing.
Matt, I am sorry about the local person that is ill. The fact that the local person is seriously ill and in the hospital does not change the numbers that Brandon referenced. His comments were based on his logic and reasoning with no regards for emotion. Every thinking person must decide for themselves. Brandon’s “We will not comply” approach is a strategy that should be implemented.
Sorry about the hospital case, my brother-in-law went thru the ambulance/hospital thing last fall, almost died twice I’m told (he’s also obese).
I took Ivermectin in Feb to pass my covid test for foot surgery, what the hell is the matter with people, can’t they figure this shit out on their own??? If you’re that stupid that you can’t get thru the flu on your own maybe you’re not smart enough to survive. Some reading comprehension helps too.
We truly live among folks dying to play the victim.
Rand is an attention seeker. He won’t spill the beans about 9/11. He won’t spill the beans about geoengineering. He’s been to the wailing wall to show his support for Israhell. He doesn’t say the vaccine is a kill shot.
He is an excellent politician. He screams at Fauci about the mysterious Wuhan Lab and Covid. I guess he hasn’t heard about Ft. Detrick, MD being the possible source of the bioweapon. No calls for investigating them. Hmmm.
Yeah, everyone is screaming for war with China, they refuse to listen to the Ft. Detrick/N.C./Fauci/Gates connection. The US/Fauci started this shit, China is either the scapegoat or the newcomer to this 15-25 yr old genocide project. And Rand and DJT remain silent on the real cause.
Bravo, SemperFi, 0321. I’ve seen very little about Ft. Detrick even on some of the best sites online. The Chinese gubmint recently received 20 million signitures petitioning the World Health Organization to investigate Ft. Detrick as the origional source of Covid.
Wouldn’t ya know that after that petition made the rounds, the Hunan province of China received a years supply of rain in 5 days. It resulted in catastrophic flooding, loss of human life and the death of about a million animals. Many were livestock that was the livelihood of many. Weather warfare anyone?????
Covid mirrors 9/11. The war on terror would end today if Rand would tell people that that they were dancing Israelis and not dancing Muslims on 9/11. Today’s patsies are the Chinese. This keeps the Covid scam going.
Just like in the 1930’s, the banksters needed another war to get out of poverty. It’s one continuous cycle after another of pointing the finger at the next new bad guy, and then dropping bombs.The brainwashing is so deep, NO ONE will point the finger at the real (((cause))) of this all. They’re even sacrificing their own to the covid scam. Removes any hint of doubt and guilt.
“They can’t arrest us all”. To the commie left that would sound like a challenge….defiance to their “authoritay”. And they WILL attempt to
arrest anyone who opposes them. They didn’t commit The Crime Of The Century to just sit on the thumbs and do nothing. They seized power with the full intention of using that power. And anyone who opposes them will be dealt with.
Piss on Biden, hairriass, Pisslosy, Schumer, schiff, Nader, Booker, piss on the whole nine yards, we control them their tyrannical ass’s don’t control us !!! We must fight their ass’s to the end !!!
