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

The way things are going life in prison is a retirement program for many now. Best to get in early and beat the rush. Once the elite catch onto the fact us old farts are scamming them with prison sentences they will force the police to shoot us onsite.
Yes, I was thinking that yesterday, that the “new strain” is all fiction, and just another chapter to convince people to stay masked up and/or locked down “for their own good”.

Two other take-aways from this Serbian gentleman:
One is that he understands that the Democrat party of today is nothing like it once was. The Democrat party of today is infested with Marxist socialists and he sees the danger in them taking control. Very astute observation on his part.
Two is that the United States is the last best hope for anyone who wants to flee the tyranny of their own country, and if this election is allowed to stand as is, then that last hope will be totally gone and there will be nowhere else on earth to go. Perhaps his passion is from the fact that one day he would have liked to come here to live, and now he sees that hope vanishing.
It’s been said that Viruses always mutate quickly into more communicable but less deadly strains. The reason is simple. The more deadly strains show serious symptoms which cause patients to be isolated, preventing the deadly strain from being spread. Only mild strains that cause mild symptoms continue to multiply and spread.
This is one of the fundamental findings in the “Evolution of Virulence” literature. The UK report is not really news. COVID-19 has been evolving rapidly worldwide since August, as shown by skyrocketing incidence rates WITHOUT corresponding increases in death rates.
Because the big money is in a cure, not preventative medicine.
The time for talk has passed. I don't wish civil war, or secession, but we have been painted into a corner. We and our values have been relegated to the role of Untermenschen, essentially slaves for the Deep State.
Not “take it”, but deflect the abuses that come our way. There are many ways to use the superior position of the stronger person against them, this principle has been touched up on in various forms of civil disobedience. Slow-walking any requests made upon you, “losing” the directive that was supposed to compel you to obey, deliberately but with feigned innocence misunderstand every order that is contrary to your own understanding of the world around you, and complain that the orders delivered are much too difficult to carry out.
Think like a badly treated four-year-old, and kick their shins when hauled off for disciplinary action. They might “win” in the short term, but an unwilling slave is a greater liability than asset.
No matter how “efficient” a command-and-control system may seem to the theoretical thinker, there is one internal flaw to this logic, and that is for the individual to have some incentive to behave well. Take away that incentive, and you might as well be a drooling idiot.
Well, that and the fact that they quit reporting COVID, that are now lumping COVID, Influenza, and Pneumonia (CIP) into a single bin, one labeled COVID.
Didn't you ever wonder why there are no influenza deaths at all being reported this flu season?
A real epiphany for me was when I discovered that the human brain does not reach full maturity until around age 25. Until then, it is not skilled at seeing consequences and long term, strategic thinking, It tends to live in the moment and have an “If it feels good, do it” perspective.
If the voting age were increased to 25, this would become a completely different country almost overnight.
“The best we can do is prepare to feed and protect our families.”
That’s what I’ve been doing and will continue to do until I can’t do anymore.
But think how people will act that have a lot to lose and then lose it. Hell will then be unleashed as payback. Those young people you mention that don’t have anything to lose. They will not be breathing fire nearly like the ones that are soon to lose everything they had.
That’s part of what I’m talking about.
e.g. “I lost my job, my church, my family and my house, but I still have this gun collection and 5,000 rounds. What should I do?
It’s always darkest before it gets even darker.
They’ll have to lose it first before they breathe fire. So until that point, they’ll go along to get along.
But it is coming and it is coming much faster than people think. Let people see their savings wiped out by 800% inflation and you will get a taste of serious fire.
Only Jesus can clean up this mess now.
wow- i didn’t know that- that explains a lot of what i did in my youth then lol- Some really really stupid stuff- I lost count of how many times i cheated death-
[[If the voting age were increased to 25, this would become a completely different country almost overnight.]]
Agreed- but unfortunately liberals are trying to get it lower and lower- because they know they can deceive the younger generation easier with promises of handouts
$600 for ammo?
Hope you can get more than 3 boxes.
