It is six years now since the advent – and normalization of – sickness psychosis (also known as weaponized hypochondria) and it shows a remarkable persistence. Because of course it has been normalized. More than that, actually. It continues to be affirmed as a reasonable rather than aberrant behavior. This business, that is, of seeing but pretending not to notice people walking around with a surgical mask over their porthole.

More finely, of normal (in the head) people seeing such people – interacting with them, even – and pretending they’re not seeing something indicative of serious mental illness.

Seeing a person wearing a “mask” and pretending not to see it is not unlike seeing a person who is in the process of wetting their pants while talking to you and pretending not to see it.

We saw three such “maskers” the other day at the supermarket. One was working behind the counter, where food is handled.

They are becoming a more common sight – probably because they’ve been told about the Super Flu that’s flitting about. It’s no longer just the flu, of course. Just as it’s no longer just raining – or snowing. Or winter now – and then summer. It’s a bomb cyclone or some other fearful-sounding term, like “climate change” – engineered to arouse panic. Keeping the masses in a state of perpetual panic being the ideal state – from the point of view of those engineering these now-endless panics. One follows the next like the night follows the day such that the masses never get a breather from the panic; such a breather might result in them calming down and using their heads again.

H.L. Mencken wrote about this a century ago. Unfortunately, probably not one in a hundred Americans knows who H.L. Mencken was.

Hospitals – those dens of science – are re-imposing “mask” requirements on visitors. It is a metric of the metastasization of the engineered sickness psychosis that has afflicted this country for six years now. Medical professionals (sic) who presumably have some understanding of how viruses are transmitted and who by now have no excuse for continuing to believe that people who aren’t sick can make others sick (the “asymptomatic spreader” idiocy) when it comes to viral bugs because people who aren’t contagious don’t cough spittle or sniffle.

They therefore don’t emit viral particles.

And even if they did, a “mask” doesn’t (for Christ’s sake) “stop the spread” of particles so small they sneeze right through the porous to viral-sized-particles “mask.”

Besides which, it is insane to spend your life in morbid dread of catching a cold. It is part of normal life to get sick occasionally.

One does not need to spend several years at medical school to understand these facts. Yet there are still apparently lots of people who did spend years at medical school who either do not understand the facts or play along with the lies. This latter is almost certainly the thing going on. It is understandable why it is going on. Most doctors are just employees – like most of the rest of us – and they must do what their employer says, if they wish to remain employed. In the case of most doctors, it is mostly the big hospital/health care chains and the insurance cartels that are the employer and when they say “jump” (or “mask” up) the doctors say how high?

And that wearing is caring.

Doesn’t this instill in you great confidence in the independent judgment of your doctor? What else are they telling people they need to do that they (the doctors) have been told they’d better tell people they need to do?

It brings to mind a rhetorical question voters were asked once about Richard Nixon: Would you buy a used car from this man? Well, would you buy into the pills (or surgery) your doctor is trying to sell you? The same guy who says you’ve got to wear a “mask” to be allowed to sit in his waiting room?

Integrity, once sold, is not easily re-purchased.

Just as sanity, once lost, is not easily regained.

We may soon see just how many people have not yet recovered. Not just their sanity. Their balls.

The symptoms will passivity and compliance when they are told they must – once again – “mask up” to be allowed within.

How many won’t believe the lies but will go along with them – again – to avoid a confrontation or some inconvenience? I need to see the doctor. Then maybe it will be I need to go to the store.

How many will defy the social pressure to be compliant and refuse to play along, no matter the inconvenience?

Everything depends on such people.

  1. A Johns Hopkins study in 2024, which updated a previous study, confirmed the often-heard number of 250,000 Americans killed by medical mistakes annually. Medical errors are the third-highest cause of death in the US. Another study from 2013 says the number might exceed 400,000, meaning that 1 in 6 deaths in the US would be from medical errors.

    This should put the medical field and doctors in perspective. Doctors largely went all in on COVID vaxxes. They’re all in on ineffective flu shots. Many of us suspect they’re complicit in withholding cures from the market so they can continue to profit from treating conditions such as cancer. For that matter, they’re all in on leftist causes such as trying to get anti-gun legislation passed “to save lives”. But they don’t dare police themselves to address that 250,000 figure.

    Funny, isn’t it? Not.

  2. I’m trying to relate the insanity of Still wearing a face diaper today, with that of being denied entry to a grocery store for not wearing one in 2020, to the insanity of things like, PopID and NEC’s “Safe and Secure” facial recognition technology, going forward.

    It seems like maybe it’s all the same spiderweb. ?

    “… Steak ’N Shake, a fast-casual restaurant in the Midwest, started installing facial recognition kiosks in its 300 locations for patron check-in. The chain says that using PopID takes two to three seconds compared with a check-in with a QR code or mobile app, which can take up to 20 seconds. [A whole, 20 seconds!?! Psft.]

    Biometric payment options are becoming more common. […]

    Consumers are getting more comfortable with biometric technology. The majority still prefer fingerprint scans to facial recognition. […]

    Concerns about privacy and facial recognition, he says, are overblown.”…

    The fuck, you say?

    See also: ‘The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okefenokee Swamp’. Or, some such story of digital tyranny via John Whitehead of The Rutherford Institute.

    How’s this all flesh out down the line?

    • Hell, Americans have been getting molested by TSA thugs for almost 25 years and no one cared. Naked body scanning? Meh. Not surprising that such people would willing wear face diapers when ordered to do so. And now facial recognition? No one is going to care. If any biblical mark of the beast ever comes around most will willing submit to that as well. After all, as frogs, Americans have been getting boiled slowly. Thus when the hammer really comes down, it will be too late for them to fight back.

      • “no one cared.”
        “Meh”
        “No one is going to care.”
        “most will willing submit”

        The lyrics of our national anthem?

        “a population that is so insouciant that it has no grasp of reality?” – P.C.R.

    • Hi Helot!

      Did you see the comment here scolding me for being “hateful” about the “masking”? I’m mean-minded, in other words, for responding forcefully and with anger toward what was done to all of us during the “pandemic.” Well, if that is “mean minded,” then it is an honorable title.

  3. “More finely, of normal (in the head) people seeing such people – interacting with them, even – and pretending they’re not seeing something indicative of serious mental illness.”

    Serious mental illness is indicated, according to you, by not wanting to harm people around you. Your idea of “healthy mind” must be to have a deep abiding desire to be anti-social. Do you hate your society so deeply that you want to do everything you can to maximize the chances of physical harm, as well as mental harm with these articles, as well as, well, simply oozing hate?

    • That is the dichotomy isn’t it?

      It is indeed highly virtuous to want to help others, to be kind and charitable.

      But they’ve managed to weaponize one’s innate empathy and generosity by equating it to theft of your money (labor) and submission willingly to human experimentation.

      Eric isn’t being inhumane, the mental illness is being falsely adjusted to a fundamentally evil and sick society.

      Being called anti-social in this case is likely a statement that he’s got a solid core belief system that stands in opposition to a devious cultural contagion.

    • Doly,

      The wearing of “masks” is pointless – insofar as “stopping the spread” of colds transmitted by sneezes, coughs and such. It is therefore ridiculous to wear “masks.”

      Yes, I “ooze” with hate – toward what was done to people, including the pushing of “masks” on people. The way people like me were treated for refusing to “mask up.” I will never forget this – nor forgive it.

      The people still wearing “masks” are mentally ill. Pathological dread of germs and colds being an example of mental illness. Should we pretend it isn’t?

      Is that kind?

      More to the point, is it fair – to us?

    • Thanks for the kind words, Tim!

      I could use them today as I sit at my desk contemplating Trump’s curb stomping of Venezuela, with him gloating like a spray tanned Il Duce over his mighty victory.

      • Terrific!

  4. Eric, I agree with the gist and spirit of your diaper articles. The diaper wearers are mentally ill and should be treated as such. No one should talk to a masker, treat them like normal human beings, or look at them unless they intend to confront them to take it off, which I regularly do.

    That said, you still spread the idea that viruses exists. There is no evidence for viruses or anyone “catching a cold”. There are many control studies going back to the so-called “spanish flu” where prisoners volunteered, on condition of early release, to allow the sickest patients cough into their mouths, place mucous in their noses, and even injected. None of the prisoners got sick.

    Virology is a scam. There has never been a pandemic ever. There is no such thing as human-to-human transmission of disease. No evidence of human-to-animal, animal-to-animal, or animal-to-human transmission either. It’s all a lie. We don’t have immune systems either protecting us from imaginary diseases. There was no HIV. Fauci killed those people in the 80’s similar to how remdesivir and ventilators killed otherwise healthy people in 2020.

    Doctors are the worst people. I would trust a used car salesmen a 100 times more than any allopathic quack. Hospitals and the medical profession are overrun with women. Find any profession dominated by women – education, health care, HR departments – and they are all gay and retarded. They were most likely to enforce masking, push vaccines, follow orders, yell at normal people, and trust whatever the government-media told them to do.

    • Morning, Alvin!

      The subject – viruses – is interesting. Obviously, I have not seen one myself. So I can’t say I know whether they exist. I have learned to be skeptical about everything the “experts” say. I do, however, have personal experience catching cold from someone who was coughing/sneezing – or so it seems logical to deduce. I mean, I was not coughing/sneezing before coming into close contact with a person who was coughing/sniffling and find myself manifesting the same symptoms a day or so later. It seems logical/evident to me that something passed from the sick person to me. Maybe not a virus. But something. I cannot come up with another explanation for whats seems to be this self-evident correlation.

      That said, I agree that allopathic medicine is generally all about keeping (and even making) people sick in order to make money off of sickness. Symptom suppression via medicines rather than fostering good health via good habits.

      • Hmm, RE: “I was not coughing/sneezing before coming into close contact with a person who was coughing/sniffling and find myself manifesting the same symptoms a day or so later. It seems logical/evident to me that something passed from the sick person to me.”

        I wonder about that all, myself.

        It seems logical/evident to me that – maybe – you were both exposed to a same ‘something’ not a virus?

        Mold from the decaying leaves all around?
        Man made chemicals in the air?
        Spend hours under florescent/LED lights with dry indoor air and a furnace set 40 Degrees above the outside temp.?

        Did you both fail to get a Suntan this year & experienced equal timing expelling the above pollutants?

        I don’t. I do know, I’ve been around plenty of sick people and I didn’t get sick. I even hugged them, the snotty-nosed pre-teen with a bad cold, too. …Nada.

        Funny, how that, I-Didn’t-catch-a-cold, works. Isn’t it?

        Perhaps, you don’t, “catch a cold” rather, you build it?

        ‘Viruses Unplugged’

        https://drsambailey.com/resources/videos/viruses-unplugged/

        • I don’t know, either. But I do see a correlation, or what appears strongly to be one. I have many times in my life developed a cold after being in close contact with someone else who already has one. For example, Dawn comes home with a cold. I am at home. Within a day or two, I have the same cold she had. It seems probable I caught the cold from her, not from anything at home. Where did she get the cold? Well, not at home. It seems likely she caught it from someone else, outside the home. Whether it’s a virus or a germ, I can’t say. But I find the transmission explanation more persuasive on a common sense level than the “terrain” hypothesis that we were both exposed to mold or some such, because we didn’t get sick congruently. She was sick and I got sick.

          This same dynamic just played out again at my sister’s place. Her husband came down with a bad cold. Their daughter – my niece – came home for Christmas. Within two days, she was also down with the same cold.

    • Alvin, if you want to read a good book, “Invisible Rainbow” is a good one. When I first started reading it, I thought it would be some leftist, tree hugging writer. But no, the writer delves into how, with each new technological advance, diseases followed. He mentions the Spanish Flu, and it is not what one is taught about it. After reading, I could not help but wonder what diseases/ailments would follow the advent of 5G and 6G, wireless technology, etc.?

  5. Like you, Eric, I avoid doctors like the plague; only going when I’m bleeding, broken or covered with poison ivy.

    Recently I had an issue while racing where I couldn’t breathe and was coughing up a bit of blood. Turns out I just need to lose some weight and fix the exhaust.

    But.

    I went to the doctor and was sent for a chest x-ray. In the follow-up with a pulmonologist, who I’d never seen before, the bitch came in the room wearing a mask. Nothing on the x-ray sooooo…I needed a CT scan. I made an appointment to folo the CT scan and when they hadn’t called me to come in for the scan a week prior to the folo I contacted them. They said the people that make the appointments had called me two weeks ago. BUT, they got a busy signal on the phone and never tried to contact me again.

    With this level of “caring” and “expertise” I’m supposed to trust these SOBs to make an accurate diagnosis. I’d rather go to Granny Clampett. At least she does care about people.

    • Basically I go to a doctor to get the prescription I already know I need. In saner, free-er countries like Mexico you just go to the pharmacist for the same thing. If the winter lung crud won’t clear because weeks of subzero outdoor air have conspired with stale indoor air to cause a chronic bronchitis, a z pack will clear it up, e.g. If you let them do their tests, they WILL find something which you can be treated and charged for.

    • When diagnosed with MS in the 80s the test used to confirm was a spinal tap. Later it became an MRI. Since the diagnosis would be unchanged regardless of the results, I refused it. Instead, the running program I started improved the situation immensely. Years later I fainted and overreacted by visiting a doctor who referred me to a neurologist who in one visit decided it must be epilepsy and prescribed anti seizure drugs. I never filled the prescription and it was never a problem again.

      I have sadly seen how cancer treatments increased suffering in friends and relatives unfortunate enough to get this. I also have relatives who see specialists and subject themselves to regular diagnostic tests and vaccinations. They believe this is the intelligent approach to health care, but paradoxically don’t seem to be any healthier. While trauma doctors are highly skilled in saving lives and antiseptics and antibiotics are useful, good health seems part good luck and part diet and exercise. Common sense in deciding when to take drugs and undergo treatments is really helpful because blind trust in doctors only seems to result in more doctor visits, diagnostic tests, misdiagnoses, needless prescriptions and unnecessary stress.

    • Poison ivy? It’s very easy to become immune to it. Simply take enough Vitamin C. I take 6 grams per day and have become immune. Most animals make their own Vitamin C, which is why most animals are immune from poison ivy. Goats can eat it with no problem. In humans, the gene for producing Vitamin C is corrupted, so dietary intake is essential.

  6. One of the worst developments in medicine was making most doctors employees. As recently as 30 years ago, most were self employed in their own practice or only worked for another doctors practice until they could go out on their own. Back then if you were a doctor and worked for someone else (insurance, hospital, medical school etc), you were often seen as a less competent doctor.

    Doctors used to be entrepreneurs in their local communities with money to invest in other local businesses. My late great uncle made far more money doing that than practicing dentistry. He founded about a dozen retail businesses, a bank, developed a number of subdivisions, and built more than a thousand new homes. Granted that was more than the norm, but I know a few local restaurants in my area that are invested in or outright owned by doctors even today.

    Most doctors also don’t make near the money they once did. It’s still better than average, but in many cases it’s less than half of what they probably would be making if they would work for themselves instead of being an employee.

    • Our doctor started his family practice here forty years ago. Good, small-town personalized care. The little 16-bed hospital was right next door. He hired several other doctors over the years. Then, several years ago, he sold out to the regional “health care” megacomplex, and that leviathan controls the place now. Online portal “MyChart” claptrap and such.

      These megacorps own all the hospitals and most of the medical service providers for such things as MRI and CAT scan imaging, etc. If doctors want hospital privileges, they probably need to join the big club, which appears to require selling out.

      My long-time optometrist and I know each other pretty well — on a first-name basis. So when their mail-order lab broke my glasses frames installing new lenses, and they didn’t want to make it right (they wanted to charge me for new frames), I told the gal “Well, I’ll just talk to Bill about this.”

      “Dr. Bill is just another employee here now, and the office manager isn’t here right now.”

      He had sold out to some big national eye care group.

  7. I see about the same number of maskers around here but the MSM keep beating the drum for getting the flu shot because it’s a really bad flu this year. Bullsh*t! The medical establishment has admitted that the formula for the flu shot they’re pushing doesn’t match the strain of the flu that’s out there now, but you should get one anyway because Big Pharma needs to keep their gravy train going.
    One a side note it has been ridiculously cold here since December, way below normal for this time of year and the constant wind makes being outside even more miserable. F this cliiiiimate change and bring back global warming 😆

    • It has been cold in these parts, as well, Mike. We are supposed to see -60 below this next week, but that used to be the norm way back when. Come 1st of the year, the temperatures drop, and then stay there for months at a time. I am not complaining that it has not been that cold during the Winter in a while, but I think freezing rain is even worse! Well, look at the bright side, -20 below will seem nice, and zero will be t-shirt weather! Yeah, global warming sounds nice right about now-ha ha.

      • Morning, Shadow!

        Minus 60? Jeasy peasy! That gives me chills just thinking about it. The coldest I think I ever personally experienced was -15 or so in Saskatoon, Canada!

        • Well, it is not the coldest I have ever been in. Way back in ’88-’89 we had wind chill (and those bitter, 50 mile an hour winds) factors down to -80 below, and everything shut down for two weeks, as the wind was howling. If your car started, you did not dare shut it off. Parking lots looked like they were littered with snakes, due to serpentine belts snapping. Exposed skin could freeze in less than a minute, so going out without just cause was not recommended. When it finally warmed up, I swore, I swore it was 40 above. People were outside in t-shirts, walking their dogs like it was a Spring day. But nope, it was zero. I hope to never experience that kind of cold again, and thankfully, have not seen it that bad in many, many years. For which I know none of us (who were around then) will complain about.

          • Early 1990’s, Iowa. -80 with the wind chill. Laying on gravel under an F-150 changing the starter.

            I still remember having to stop and go inside to thaw out my fingers every 5 minutes.

            • Jeasy peasy, Helot!

              Ok, you win the prize. I’m much too soft to change a starter outside in -80 (or even -10). Not unless I was young and there was a very hot girl who needed it done!

  8. The one good thing about the Covid hoax is the public went through a steep learning curve – not to believe or trust the government. Each time these maniacs pull a false flag or medical emergency hoax they are essentially inoculating the public to statism. The more they attack us the more the public will trend Libertarian.

    Mother Nature does not care if you fall for a hoax and end up dead. Survival of the fittest and natural selection are always at play even if we humans think we have beat natural law. Every animal population, including humans, must survive a stress test. Covid was a stress put onto us. If you vote wrong, jab wrong, eat wrong, etc. you may be eliminated from the gene pool.

    And no god cares in the least if you have reality wrong. For instance, a remote female convent of nuns, self administered the Covid vaccine and a bunch of them died. “dozens of nuns in the US state of Kentucky tested positive for Covid-19 after being vaccinated against the disease and two died”

    God did not whisper into mother superior’s ear and tell her to not be a fool and fall for a hoax. Did you have the right stuff to survive a government hoax? The United States has been taken over by a hostile foreign enemy which wants us all under it’s control or dead. They openly state that now, Bibi Netanyahu is openly talking about killing Candace Owens.

    Capitalism based on faux WEF narrative goes bust:
    Surprise! A $600 Million Insect Protein Animal Feed Business Just Went Bankrupt

  9. I’m lucky to have a good naturopath doctor who never asked me to “mask up” or take the jab. She also doesn’t deal with insurance directly, but will give you the paperwork if you’d like to do so. I never have. The visits are inexpensive enough that I don’t want to dick with ’em.

    On a related note, I’m about done with dentists. Today I will have tooth extracted that came to be infected and died due to a filling supposedly done because the old filling wasn’t good enough. Some bullshit. This is the second one in recent life. Another dentist drilled a tooth a couple years ago because of a supposed cavity that wasn’t causing me any trouble. That tooth too died and I had to get a root-canal.

    My opinion on most dentists has been supported: They are opportunistic and barbaric quacks. Had I stayed away from dentists, I would likely have 2 more living teeth than I have now. And maybe several more. My childhood dentist was a fan of using the “explorer”, which is essentially a pointed hook, to diagnose cavities and then fill them. I have just finished reading the book “Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye” by Ellie Phillips wherein she explains that the use of the “explorer” was little more than quackery and also details how socialized dentistry destroyed generations of teeth in England.

    I’m done. I will get a cleaning once a year if they are lucky. Otherwise, I’m going to try following the recommendations in this book and see where it takes me.

    • Agree. I would have more teeth today if I had not gone to a crooked dentist when I was 16. He claimed my molars were badly decayed around the fillings, and replaced them with a plastic substance that did not stand up to wear on a molar. So within a few years I needed to have those replaced. Too much drilling weakened the tooth structure.

      Plus, they love their X-rays and their rat poison (fluoride).

  10. Those of us who have been trained to work in IDLH (Immediate Danger to Life and Health) environments knew that the “masking mania” was complete bullshit, right from the start.
    Fact: an N95 is also known as a dust mask, and provides no protection against airborne chemical or biological hazards.
    Fact: Proper PPE against chemical or biological respiratory hazards requires *at* *least* a half face respirator, properly fitted to seal tightly against the face, and equipped with the most appropriate filter canisters. In more dangerous environments, full face respirator with supplied air, either manifold air or SCBA, will be required.
    Fact: The only physicians likely to be properly trained in such environments are those who have conducted scientific research on dangerous pathogens, which is a *small* *fraction* of the medical community.
    Fact: In order for a respirator to seal properly against the face, facial hair must be shaved, with the exception of a well trimmed mustache which does not extend past corners of he mouth. Ever see a firefighter with a beard? Of course not, and that is why not.
    Fact: A surgical mask is intended for *droplet* *protection* only, and provides no protection against airborne pathogens, even if worn properly, because it a) does not seal against the face, and b) is not designed to filter chemical or biological hazards. “Playing doctor” by wearing one is absurd, even if properly worn, and if you have facial hair and the “doctor mask” is askew, it is just ridiculous.
    Fact: There was a paper published (during the height of the scamdemic)_in, IIRC, the New England Journal of Medicine, or other peer reviewed publication, in which five authors, all either MD or PhD, and all associated either with Harvard Medical School, or Harvard School of Public Health, stated their professional conclusions, which are identical to those I stated above.
    Fact: I have been trained to work in IDLH environments, am SCBA qualified, and have worked in supplied air. (a.k.a. “fresh air”). FWIW, I am also a degreed chemist, having earned my S.B. before my 21st birthday. I didn’t go to Harvard; I went to the “downstream school” in Cambridge. 🙂

  11. Here is today’s installment of Ask AI how to monkeywrench the system:

    Flock Safety’s system does not automatically generate an alert solely for a mismatch between a license plate number and the vehicle’s make and model. Instead, it captures these vehicle characteristics as searchable data points, and alerts are only triggered if the license plate number is on an official law enforcement “hotlist.”

    Here is how the process works:

    Data Capture: When a vehicle passes a Flock camera, the system uses machine learning to capture an image of the license plate along with a “Vehicle Fingerprint®,” which includes the make, model, color, body type, and other unique features (e.g., roof rack, bumper stickers).

    Database Comparison: The captured license plate number is automatically checked against law enforcement databases, such as the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC), or local “hotlists” of wanted or stolen vehicles.

    Alert Generation: An automatic, real-time alert is sent to authorized law enforcement personnel only if a positive match is found in the hotlist databases.

    Investigative Tool: The collected vehicle attributes, including make and model, are stored in the system’s database for a limited time (typically 30 days). Law enforcement can use advanced search tools to filter this data by various characteristics (e.g., “blue Toyota sedan”) during an investigation, even if they only have a partial plate number or general description.

    Therefore, a simple data discrepancy between a vehicle’s make/model and its registered plate (which might indicate a stolen plate, a clerical error, or simply a vehicle with a valid but mismatched plate) would not trigger an immediate, automated alert on its own. The mismatch information would be available for investigators to use as a search filter after a crime has been reported or during an ongoing investigation.

    Food for thought! 😉

    • Do you have a reference for that information, Jim_H?
      If so, it could be useful to me in upcoming local politics.
      There is a segment of local busybodies who wish to fine out-of-towners (non residents) for “cutting through” Our Fair City to avoid the freeway interchange clusterfuck, and of course they are enamored by ALPRs, because “high tech” [rolling eyes skyward]. I would *love* to bust their bubble.

      • It is from an inquiry to Google AI: ‘How does Flock process and alert a license plate number that doesn’t match the vehicle make and model?’

        The response cites three references — from Town of Windsor CT; Temple Police Dept; and Flock Safety. None of these references appear to specifically address the result of a plate number mismatch to the vehicle make and model.

        Now if six turned out to be nine
        I don’t mind, I don’t mind
        If all the hippies cut off all their hair
        Oh, I don’t care, I don’t care

    • More on this subject:

      ‘Under new requirements in Indiana, owners must notify the Bureau of Motor Vehicles when a vehicle’s color is changed through application of paint. It also covers the installation of a partial or full vinyl vehicle wrap, and the removal of that wrap.

      Anyone who does not report the change within 30 days could receive a warning from law enforcement, the BMV said. But the stakes rise if the vehicle is linked [sic] to a criminal case.

      The BMV warned that if a vehicle’s color was changed after it was used in the commission of a crime and the agency was not notified, the owner may be charged with a Class C misdemeanor.

      Drivers can update the color listed on their registration by visiting a BMV branch, the agency said.

      Is your vehicle painted an unauthorized color, comrade? What’s next — notify BMV if you visit a tanning booth and emerge looking like the Mango Messiah?

  12. For many, masking up is required to avoid the flu (and in the past, COVID) shot. It is a kind of scarlet letter of sorts: Look at me, I did not get the shot! I read this past week where all the Banner Health facilities (hospitals, clinics, etc.) are requiring their workers to mask up due to the active flu season. So much for the flu shot being “safe and effective”. And in another note of irony, if you look at the box of masks, they are “Made In China”. There are some ironies in life you cannot make up.

    • Ultimately, this is not on Banner Health, it’s on the people. If even 20-30% of them refused masking, these policies would quickly disappear. Tyranny always begins from the ground up, with government (federal or corporate) being nothing more than a reflection of popular will. Masking endures because the people want it to be so.

      • I don’t know about that, but when too many people are too compliant tyranny certainly flourishes.

        If enough people refuse to play along, the .gov will usually back off very, very quickly lest they appear to be impotent.

        If only a few…a few can be dealt with, either by marginalizing them, making an example out of them, or both.

  13. Speaking of masking up, whatever happened to Joy Behar promising to keep masking up even after the scamdemic? That’s one face covering I fully endorse.

    I guess Horton’s law applies to TV personalities, too. They keep their bad promises while breaking the good ones.

  14. What is also irritating is the NUMEROUS PSAs out there this winter URGING people to take a flu and/ or COVID shot despite studies showing that people who took such shots were MORE LIKELY to get the dreaded illness they’ve been purportedly vaxxed against. I surmise that Big Pharma is desperate to get MORE people taking such shots, as the whole vaccine empire has been exposed the past going on 6 years as a fraud and uptake of such shots is currently LOW, though there are people who STILL belieeeeeeeeeeve the narratives of “Safe and Effective!” (Not just for COVID vaxxes, but ALL vaxxes).

    And with Donald Trump as President & Robert F Kennedy Jr as HHS Secretary, I wouldn’t be surprised if corporate media & the increasingly insane Democratic Party run propaganda pieces against the both of them in an effort to drum up fear over this alleged SUPER FLU considering there are midterm elections coming up this year.

    • I work with someone who related that he gets the flu shot every year, and that every year, he gets sick. This year is no different. He is a great worker, nice guy, but he does not seem to correlate the two together: Get the flu shot, get sick anyway.

      • The vaccine zealots will likely blame the vaxxes making people MORE likely to get that which they’ve been vaxxed against on people who DIDN’T get vaxxed. We saw such narratives during the overzealous campaign to get EVERYONE vaxxed with the COVID vaxxes, but we had actual medical experts out there who warned that mass vaccination in the middle of a pandemic was a TERRIBLE idea.

      • Actually, Shadow, it’s,”Get the flu shot, GET sick.”

        And while your immune system is busy reacting to the injection, it may well not be reacting to another and possibly more dangerous issue.

        I had that chat with a former co worker a few weeks ago, he had been a masker. He shrugged and said,”how could we have known it was all a lie?”. I pointed out that we had the proof before the panic in the Diamond Princess and the other cruise liner, both small and dense populations of older people and when the “Covid” allegedly swept through, nobody died and few got very sick. Then he was startled when I told him how “vaccination” actually works, by bypassing the first and most important layers of your immune system to cause a reaction with the internal ones.

        People don’t care, don’t think, and aren’t rational. The vast majority are perfectly happy being “cattle”.

  15. The IQ in a typical doctor’s office tends to fall off rapidly once you get past the person his or her name on the door. Most doctors are lousy personnel managers, and this combined with the low IQ in the front office employees can lead to staff setting their own policies, especially when composed of individuals from protected classes who tend to vote Dem.

    My own doctor had to hold a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting with his staff after he found out that they were telling patients that an appointment for an in-office visit would require being fully jabbed under Federal law.

    He did give on the staff’s insistence about masking to the point that I thought I would need a new doctor since face diapering in the office continued into early 2023.

    Austin. Try arguing with the female and gay male demographics who staff most of the doctors offices here.

    • Indeed, Roscoe!

      This is a big part of the reason why I avoid doctors. This I see as a good thing, too – in the sense that I have assumed responsibility for my health rather than relying upon doctors. It’s empowering – and it’s also a great deal cheaper!

    • >low IQ in the front office employees
      Got to make sure the employees are no intellectual threat.
      Recalling my high school classmates who became MDs, most were NOT the top students.
      More like second tier.

      I find it remarkable as well that so many female medical support staff are real porkers, as well as not very bright.

      • Re: Porkers, looks like it’s nationwide, ‘heavy’ on the ‘wide’. Here in the Pacific Northwest been this way for decades. Now the docs -whoops PA’s -are huge too. Last year the guy assigned to me for the yearly check was at least 60 lbs over, early 30’s a walking ‘beetus (thanks Wilford) case all puffy all over. The chicks at the front desk even worse.

        • Did you ever see an old fat person…I think not.
          Have to run my 90 year old ma to the white coats this coming Tuesday . Can hardly wait to be accosted by the commie fuckwits at the hospital.

          Ps Ma is not fat!

          • My father-in-law was always fit, never a gut even into his late 80s. Golf, cross country skier well into his late 70s. Lived to 95 survived bladder cancer (had a smart surgeon that fixed the bladder, no bag) and a replacement heart valve at 78. He would give his regular MD a ration about the doc’s smoking habit, overweight, and his porky staff.

          • RE: “Did you ever see an old fat person…I think not.”

            My father. Ex-Marine. He’s in his late 80’s. Has a giant pot belly and is still kickin’.
            His skinny, fit-as-a-fiddle, younger brother died from an aneurysm about a decade ago.

            My F.I.L. ex-Army, a little younger, about the same diameter. Still kickin’ too.

            So’s your observation,… psft.

            I read a study of old people awhile back, seems fatness ain’t the cause of death so many think it is.

            I’d post a link to it, but I’m tired.

      • Wait until the MBBS visa labor starts showing up in large numbers to supplant the MDs in general practice. Some states, mine included, even let the MBBS, essentially an elaborate Bachelor’s degree, use the MD initials.

  16. What I find curious is that the box the masks come out of used by the vast preponderance of people actually states that it won’t protect you from covid 19 or any other disease. I’m guessing because they’re not designed to filter out viruses and to prevent you from suing them successfully if you get sick.

    But this being the New Year with many people making resolutions I realized that perhaps they felt that a mask would help them lose weight. Sadly as I see no sign of duct tape or super glue to securely fasten it it’s not that either.

    • I’d prefer to think the masking was garden variety hypochondria and sickness kabuki rather than something forced by law onto the individual after diagnosed with tuberculosis.

      TB numbers are off the chart with the Biden thing’s immigration policies.

      Texas numbers are particularly bad. In Austin, we get a double whammy from legal immigration from the third world as well as the border problem under the previous administration.

  17. My recent experience with the healthcare industry is that we mere mortals have no understanding of how biology works. Full stop, end of discussion. Reading comprehension is a useless skill as is the ability to use the search engine on Pub Med.

    • Morning, RK –

      Yup. These same quacks would have insisted I take drugs (allopurinal) for life to deal with the gout stuff I had. Instead simple-minded me lost 25 pounds and cold stopped eating processed shit “food.”

      • Yes. Root cause was determined and eliminated. Problem solved; move on to the next! This uncommon skill is developed best by backyard mechanics like yourself and many others on this site.

    • This attitude comes as a result of their special knowledge, which the plebs don’t have. They have become part of the professional class, above the general public.

      What they forget is they were once ignorant of this high understanding at one point. The knowledge they have is the result of someone telling it to them, and their acceptance of it, instead of being discovered on their own.

      If such medical understanding is available to them, why not to others who can read, view lectures, etc? Your average healthcare worker has never conducted an experiment, done laboratory research, or made an independent discovery. But they are better than you.

    • “ we mere mortals have no understanding of how biology works “

      What I’m gathering is generally the public has no idea how ANYTHING works – all by design. Thus easily conned on climate change, COVID, ‘honest’ elections, foreign affairs, republic government.

      I’m classed as “bright average” did OK not stellar in school and community college but paid attention to history, basic science and engineering. It’s head shaking when people, supposedly smart, lack basic reasoning skills to avoid the con’s. Ignorance may be bliss but it’s certainly dangerous to a functional society.
