Don’t ask me, I’ve declared “10 days” at least 50 times in the last 2.5 years!! :)

INDIA HOLDS BILL GATES ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS VACCINE CRIMES-THREAD:

A report by KP Narayana Kumar, within a month of receiving the vaccine, many of the children fell ill & by 2010, five of them had died.

Shockingly, consent forms were signed “illegally.”https://t.co/dtAvpPCWNq https://t.co/H039k2tua3— ℒ𝒞 ℒ𝒾𝓅𝓅𝓂𝒶𝓃𝓃 (@HotShot__1) March 24, 2020

I’ll just leave the following here.

________________________________________________

mask (v.)

1560s, “to take part in a masquerade” (a sense now obsolete); 1580s as “to wear a mask,” also “disguise (feelings, etc.) under an assumed outward show;” from mask (n.) and French masquer. Military sense of “conceal” (a battery, etc.) from the view of the enemy” is from 1706. Related: Masked; masking. Masking tape recorded from 1927; so called because it is used to block out certain surfaces before painting.

mask (n.)

1530s, “a cover for the face (with openings for the eyes and mouth), a false face,” from Middle French masque “covering to hide or guard the face” (16c.), from Italian maschera, from Medieval Latin masca “mask, specter, nightmare,” a word of uncertain origin.

It is perhaps from Arabic maskharah “buffoon, mockery,” from sakhira “be mocked, ridiculed.” Or it may come via Provençal mascarar, Catalan mascarar, Old French mascurer “to black (the face),” which is perhaps from a Germanic source akin to English mesh (q.v.). But it maybe a Provençal word originally: Compare Occitan mascara “to blacken, darken,” derived from mask- “black,” which is held to be from a pre-Indo-European language, and Old Occitan masco “witch,” surviving in dialects; in Beziers it means “dark cloud before the rain comes.” [See Walther von Wartburg, “Französisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch: Eine Darstellung galloromanischen sprachschatzes”].

Figurative meaning “anything used or practiced for disguise or concealment” is by 1570s.

_________________________________________

One phrase gave me serious pause while contemplating this word, mask.

mask - “dark cloud before the rain comes.”

Then I read the entries again and others stuck

Black Face (several politicians caught in BF lately)
False Face (reminds of keystone facades with the faces)
Concealment
Disguise
Nightmare

Father please bring the rain and wash away those who wear an evil mask in order to harm your little ones.
