How will we cope if things just get worse?
american thinker ^ | 12/22/2020 | James Stansbury

Posted on 12/22/2020 11:09:04 AM PST by bitt

Last week there was some hopeful Christmas news regarding COVID-19. Pfizer's vaccine was approved with Moderna's close behind. Both are now being administered. However, news from the U.K. in an article on Dec. 20 in Self-Reliance Central has thrown cold water on that hope. The title of the article is self-explanatory: "European countries ban flights from UK as government warns potent new strain of virus is 'out of control.'" It is too early to know if the new vaccines will work on this alleged new strain. Regardless, this conveniently timed scare could sow doubts and justify extending the lockdowns well into 2021.

There was some other good but short-lived news about COVID last week. It appeared that the AMA had approved the off-label use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to treat COVID-19 after months of resistance. Months ago, Yale epidemiology professor Dr. Harvey Risch said hydroxychloroquine, if used properly, could save between 75,000 and 100,000 lives and can also be taken safely as a preventative. Fewer deaths may have lessened the need for the disastrous lockdowns and reduced the importance of the vaccines. His findings were published in the May 27 American Journal of Epidemiology to no effect. shortly after Rush Limbaugh mentioned the AMA proposal to approve off-label use of HCQ, it was quickly revealed to be a misunderstanding. However, the use of HCQ was actually proposed in AMA resolution 509, but it was ultimately rejected. Whether or not politics as usual drove the AMA decision, the result will likely be many more avoidable deaths, hospitalizations, and lockdowns.

Not to be outdone in the bad news department, the investigation into the alleged, very obvious planned voter fraud has been painfully slow. Many on the right have already decided to be polite and surrender, knowing that the militant Antifa and BLM enforcers

As said....”It’s a foregone conclusion that they are going to get worse, case in point the latest “covid relief” monstrosity ‘CONgress’ just passed.

Will Trump veto it?

> Will Trump veto it?

Congress would appear to have a veto-proof majority if he does. In any case, Trump doesn’t have much in the way of leverage at the moment. What little he does he’s probably saving for Jan 6.

[[That’s why Antifa can do what they do.]]

Well, they can do it because they have full or nearly full protection from liberal elites and the msm. The ones that do get arrested get either no bail release, or have lawyers appointed ot them by soros and hollywood pukes-

IF our side does it- they lock em up and throw away the key

That’s another reason. But bottom line is that we are dealing with the lower levels of our culture who have nothing to lose and are too young and ignorant (or just too stupid) to grasp the long term consequences of what they are doing.

“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to obtain or preserve their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.”

There that should help.

Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Read the whole piece. It's the opposite of bowing down... We need a plan and we need to implement it. Our parents and grandparents did the same for us - and now it's our turn.

Start with American education. The commies have money in the stimulus bill to push their pervert ideas ... and we're paying for it. Maybe it's time for US to create a playbook and starting back rather than just whining.

Why aren’t news broadcasts asking people living in close quarters to take 5000 IU of vitamin d3 a day, 10,000if they are over 65?

Because mass media’s goal is the destruction of the US thanks to their greed and CCP’s funding. People not doing their own research, the hiding of ways to prevent health problems to keep docs and pharma paid, etc.

It is not my responsibility to keep others from getting sick.

If they fear I might be asymptomatic they are free to stay away from me.

Each person is responsible for their own health. Not some stranger.

It is time to tell people take care of yourself and leave me alone.

[”The worse” would be the total economic and social collapse of the United States.
It will come much sooner than most think.]

That’s what concerns me, as an American. There are forces who have shown their support by non-action against those literally destroying the country.

Like AntiFa and their rioting and arson. This is just one example, of course.


EHV Fear the Lord, my son, and also the king. Do not associate with those who are rebellious,

DARBY My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.

KJ21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king, and mingle not with them that are given to change;

ASV My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:

JUB My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not meddle with those that are given to change,

KJV My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

AKJV My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

LEB Fear Yahweh, my son, and the king; with those who change, do not associate.

TLB My son, watch your step before the Lord and the king, and don’t associate with radicals. For you will go down with them to sudden disaster, and who knows where it all will end?


Pretty sad when even The Living Bible (paraphrase - avoid - a rare moment when I included this excerpt) - even The Living Bible got this one right.

“Hope and CHANGE”?

Oh yeah, that outdated book - the Bible. This is 2020, where many people get their politics and their marching orders from “Saturday Night Live”. /shaking my head

Keep praying, Christian brothers and sisters!

And the latter group’s activities will be projected as White Supremacy, Christian Anarchy, Home Grown Domestic Terrorists, Constitution-Reading Traitors, etc.

I am sure I fit in there somewhere, if it is even “Rush Limbaugh-listening Ditto Head.”

I’ve been around some of them. In the morning, they can’t see the afternoon. Not all, of course.

Spoke with a young Christian couple last night.

This always was crap.

Politicians need a shit pot to stir and only offer one solution: spend money.

The media wants to report about the stench.

Government agencies want to regulate how much shit is in the pot, what color it is, what temperature you’re cooking it at and always need more folks to regulate it all.

And then all the experts and institutions like John Hopkins want to give advice and are really just selling themselves.

But it’s all shit.

Do you really think we will have less infections in the US than in places where they did little to nothing?

“ never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time,”
