When did COVID start for you? Personally, I trace the beginning to Feb. 13, 2020. My wife and I were waiting for a plane at O’Hare when a group of Japan Airlines flight attendants walked past, wearing those masks I’d read about. I snapped a photo and sent it into the city desk. Look: news.
Emotionally, it really began in March. The stripped Target shelves. A few hours before Gov. JB Pritzker shut down the restaurants, I popped into Kamehachi for a last sushi fix and was surprised to find myself the lone diner at 12:30 p.m. Watching the chef prepare my order, thinking, with dread: “I’m killing myself for a negi hamachi roll.”
Though if you are looking for the very beginning in the Chicago area, I suppose that should be Jan. 13, 2020 — five years ago Monday — when a suburban woman returned from Wuhan, China, where she had been caring for her elderly father, bringing with her the COVID virus. A few days later she felt ill and went to Ascension St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates. making her the first person in Illinois, the second in the United States, diagnosed with a disease that, in the next half decade, would kill more than 1 million Americans and 20 million worldwide.

Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice
by Margaret Anna Alice
The Armenian Genocide was not a mistake.
Holodomor was not a mistake.
The Final Solution was not a mistake.
The Great Leap Forward was not a mistake.
The Killing Fields were not a mistake.
Name your genocide—it was not a mistake.
That includes the Great Democide of the 2020s.
To imply otherwise is to give Them the out they are seeking.
It was not botched.
It was not bungled.
It was not a blunder.
It was not incompetence.
It was not lack of knowledge.
It was not spontaneous mass hysteria.
The planning occurred in plain sight.
The planning is still occurring in plain sight.
The philanthropaths bought The $cience™.
The modelers projected the lies.
The testers concocted the crisis.
The NGOs leased the academics.
The $cientists fabricated the findings.
The mouthpieces spewed the talking points.
The organizations declared the emergency.
The governments erected the walls.
The departments rewrote the rules.
The governors quashed the rights.
The politicians passed the laws.
The bankers installed the control grid.
The stooges laundered the money.
The DoD placed the orders.
The corporations fulfilled the contracts.
The regulators approved the solution.
The laws shielded the contractors.
The agencies ignored the signals.
The behemoths consolidated the media.
The psychologists crafted the messaging.
The propagandists chanted the slogans.
The fact-chokers smeared the dissidents.
The censors silenced the questioners.
The jackboots stomped the dissenters.
The tyrants summoned.
The puppeteers jerked.
The puppets danced.
The colluders implemented.
The doctors ordered.
The hospitals administered.
The menticiders scripted.
The bamboozled bleated.
The totalitarianized bullied.
The Covidians tattled.
The parents surrendered.
The good citizens believed … and forgot.
This was calculated.
This was formulated.
This was focus-grouped.
This was articulated.
This was manufactured.
This was falsified.
This was coerced.
This was inflicted.
This was denied.
We were terrorized.
We were isolated.
We were gaslit.
We were dehumanized.
We were wounded.
We were killed.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
ron desantis and the free state of florida proved the kung flu is a scam...
“I was pissed the whole time. People losing businesses. being laid off, masks, empty grocery stores, covid Karen’s, and teens taking their lifes.”
Ditto. That’s when I realized most Americans are retarded and weak.
Destroying small businesses while funneling cash to the big. Firing anyone who refused the VIDVAX DNAmodifing DR. FAUCHI evil concoction. I blame the people who ran to get sheered like sheep to the slaughter. Their pathetic lives were so critical, their fear so real, their idiocy so in display …. I honestly hope the entire vaxed population dies in 10 years. I was never one to claim 6 months or 1 year or 2 years…. I just hope they all die for running away from a Lexington and concord moment like the cowards they are. Instead of supporting their brother and sisters in life the got the jab, wore the mask, went one way down the supermarket and basically left the few (about 16%) to just get raped. So brave are all the vaxed. It didn’t stop transmission it didn’t stop contagion it didn’t stay in the deltoid it didn’t breakdown in 1-3 days, it didn’t do anything good. It did kill babies in the womb, breastfeeding babies, the young the healthy and it fcked up the immune system. Not as bad for the old and weak immune system but hey screw the young and healthy. What do they provide anyway. Many here will take offense but if the truth ever gets out my opinion will be proven correct and much worse. So I’m hoping for a VIDVAX major die off. They wanted us punished/cancelled/dead …. I know where my bet is going
I guess I am a lucky one. I retired before Covid hit and had to put up with the face masking nonsense to do shopping, etc. I never wore a face diaper around family or friends and none of them asked about my vax status. Cook county went full bat crap crazy on New Years day 2022 when Omicron was running rampant. Not only was the city trying to enforce vaccinations, the county ordered it as well. A couple of months later the state threw up their arms and declared the crisis over.
AMEN
indeed
The fear propaganda pushed by our government of the threat of nuclear war in the 50’s was far more scary to me as a grammar school age kid than the Covid propaganda they spread. I supposedly tested positive twice for Covid via mandatory testing prior to having medical procedures done. I had no symptoms whatsoever either time, nothing. And on the day I tested positive the second time, I had administered a rapid home test that morning which results were negative. The doctor’s office said they couldn’t accept the home test results because I hadn’t gotten the jabs, and required me to go to their lab to have a swab test initiated. When I told the woman in the office that even if people were jabbed, they could still get Covid, be infectious, and should have to be tested as well. Her response was: “I don’t make the rules.”
“Trump rallies were decried as “super spreaders”, but participating in “peaceful protest” mobs was said to be totally awesome ...”
That was the final collapse of Regime Expert credibility, for many.
For me, this was the end. CDC Covid test failed because they used contaminated lab chemicals.
https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/03/05/905484/why-the-cdc-botched-its-coronavirus-testing/
I’ll never forget family members who rushed to get that jab “so they could travel.” My sister-in-law is an idiot and she dragged my brother along with it. When they started haranguing my healthy 80 year old mom about, that was the final straw. We are no longer on speaking terms and they have had nothing but poor health ever since.
And worst of all government at every level, from the President of the United States down to municipal bureaucrats, LYING THROUGH THEIR FILTHY TEETH TO US.
Commercial real estate is dead now
Look at the bright side they died for bill Gates. Who wouldn’t want to make billions for billionaires.
Ahhh, yes: the first Big Lie of many big lies. I heard that phrase, and immediately knew the whole thing was unmitigated bullstuff.
I was shocked how many people drank the Kool-Aid.
and then I was able to ponder how so many "good germans" cooperated with Hitler
Got a call from my boss 13 or 14 March. “Don’t go to work next week”. “OK, when do I go back in?”, “We’ll call you”. OK, hung up.
WTFO??
Turn on the TV. The whole country is going into lockdown because of China Flu. Nuts - I’m retiring in five weeks and I have systems docs generated over the last 39 years I need to get to the right people. Didn’t get done.
I eventually learn the panic is because a known-crap model at Imperial College (Britain) said 500 million casualties or some such obscene number. Most of the world panicked, with a few intelligent exceptions.
I can’t complain. I got paid in full for not working for five weeks until I retired.
Retirement was low-key. Turned in badges, visited HR to collect paperwork and sign out. Done by noon.
Got a Nice Big Hug from the HR gal - She decided hell with the masking and distance crap. Tall as me and Very Not Guilty. Wonderful Gal. She’s one of the folks I miss.
Never did get vaxxed. Also found some cloth facemasks with “I Call Bullshit” stenciled on. Got a lot of smiles for that one.
I did my best to ignore it and the covidiots.
I don’t think I skipped a day of work. I did pivot my job a little. I traveled to 22 states during lockdown. I generally made people force the useless masks on me.
When we did wear them they were mesh from a company called fake mask USA.com.
I did eventually squire a healthy dose of natural immunity. I took ivermectin.
I did not take the clot shot.
I made a “mask” out of cheese cloth, wrapped it around nose and mouth like a scarf.
Best part of lockdown was driving 100 MPH around the Beltway (I-695) at 9:00 a.m. on weekdays. Had to visit Charles Village to take care of my wife’s friends cat.
