Not my America

 Sorry guys, while I'm working on some homesteady posts, there are too many things going on right now to not speak up.  This being my only outlet, It has to be here.  Sorry, or "your welcome" depending on how you look at this.  

The past week has shown some pretty scary things.  Things I never in my lifetime thought I would see in the United States.  I feel like I'm living in another country.  Founding Fathers?  What Founding fathers?  In actuality, the past 18 months have had some pretty scary things, and I'm not talking Covid.  Well except this:  In the name of "Public Health" the powers that be have managed to 

1}  Shut down the majority of small businesses.  Yet the large businesses, big business if you will, were allowed to be essential.  Yes, online stores, including mine, saw an up tic in business as people were shut down at home, but brick and mortar stores, restaurants, gyms, etc were closed, many of them never to open their doors again.  How convenient it is to move our economy to a digital platform.  Easier to control things that way I expect.  The powers that be say they aren't printing money so much as "digitizing" the currency.  I guess if our currency is blips on a computer screen, it won't matter what the number is.  Problem is, that hems consumers(citizens) in to the one form of transaction easiest to control.  It will allow every purchase to be tracked, buying patterns to be analyzed, etc.  Good stuff!  

2) Determine what workers can stay employed and what workers can't be employed.  The ultimate hand on the scale.  But hey we'll send you a check in the mail and all will be well.  

3)  Steal private property in the form of the moratorium against evictions.  Instead of just allowing renters to file for assistance and help who needed it; the government actually decided that private land owners couldn't collect rent from their tenants.  While I understand some tenants needed help, not all did.  Even the Supreme court ruled that the Moratorium was unconstitutional and said it had to expire.  Yet the CDC, an unelected body, has allowed it to continue with the current administrations blessing.  These private land owners are not Bill Gates or Warren Buffet.  Many times these are retirees that are using rents to have an income stream during retirement, or small investors.  Many of these owners have mortgages on these properties that still need to be paid.  They have no recourse if the tenants abuse the property, or can pay the rent and are choosing not to because they can't be evicted.  

4)  Determine who gathers, and when.  Church services are bad, protests are good.  At holidays we could gather together with members in our own household, but not too many.  So if you were someone who lived alone, well sucks for you.  I'm thankful we don't live in an apartment complex in New York!  I can only imagine what that was like.  YIKES.   

These were some of the many things that happened over the past 18 months, but not all.  What has me fuming, and concerned are the things happening now.  Every morning brings another stunner.  For example, this morning I read CNN had fired 3 employees who arrived at work unvaccinated.  PHI, Private Health information I guess is no longer a thing; nor is HIPPA or a Patient Bill of Rights.  Fired!  I hope they can find work somewhere that's a little more understanding, not just of their decision, but of basic biology and how vaccines actually function.  There are now, effective September, Vaccine Passports required in New York City.  Nurses, NURSES, and other healthcare workers are being told to get the shot or find another job.  These are people that have cared for Covid patients over the last 18 months, and they didn't have a vaccine when they did!  But now they're being told to take the shot or lose your job.  How many of them probably have natural immunity from already having Covid?  Nobody cares.  If it doesn't further the narrative and enable more control, they don't want to hear it.  We have no long term studies on these vaccines and what they may cause down the line, and yet people are clamoring for young children to get the shot.  Don't get me started on Masking and especially masking young children.  Why are people clamoring for children to get the shot, vaccine passports, firings for non compliance, etc?  Because of the never ending assault of fear mongering coming from the media, social media, and government.  Trust me they're all the same entity.  

SOME FACTS:

1) If you're vaccinated you're protected, and have nothing to worry about.  Well that's if the vaccine works, and if it doesn't, why are they pushing it?  Plus now they're looking at booster shots?

2)  Children rarely have a bad time with Covid, and aren't good carriers of the virus.  While there have been children that died, they all had severe comorbidities and died with covid, not because of it.  The number is very small, around 300 in the entire US.  If you're concerned about the minuet chance you may still get the virus from a child, see fact #1

3) Natural immunity is a real thing.  It is I promise.  In fact studies coming out of both Great Britain and Israel show that natural immunity is stronger, can last a lifetime, and be a better defense against Covid( and it's variants) than the vaccines.

4) The Delta Variant, while more contagious, isn't as lethal.  

5) You can't contain a virus as a general rule.  That's been my main objection to all of this craziness.  It will find a way.  But you really can't contain a virus with an open southern border where people from over 100 countries pour thru, unvaccinated, unmasked, and untested.  So when you're losing your job, your income, your rights "for the protection of others", remember that.  

We, as a country, are being divided; on purpose.  Divided into Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, Trump supporter (or terrorist depends on who you ask) or Trump Hater, Masked or unmasked, and vaccinated or unvaccinated.  It is believed that Liberal Democrat Trump haters wear their masks (sometimes 2 or 3) and are getting their vaccines.  Conservative Republican Trump supporters don't wear their mask or get a vaccine and go around blowing in old peoples faces.  Just saying.  

Why are we being divided?  Who has benefited from the last 18 months? Ask yourself these questions and really look at the past 18 months.  Is it Big Business, Big Government, Big Pharma, China?  I used to not consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but what do you do when there is so much material to work with?  You ask yourself these questions and look at the last 18 months closely with an objective but critical eye and tell me what you find.
