A secular version of the 'Faith' message. This is a glaring admittance of the veracity of what has for generations been known as the 'original sin' i.e. the belief that you can 'be like god'.</p><p>Well for those who really believe that they can become god-like, it takes no stretch of the imagination to understand that such people will not stop at mere sexual applications, no, indeed they will soon begin to, and already have, adapted their 'god-like powers' to many more things around them, including philosophy, technology, culture, politics and of course sport, which has already been significantly 'colonized' by these 'god-appropriators'.</p><p>A significant 'highway' dispensing this ideology of destruction has been and continues to be social media and one of the worst is of course; TikTok. The Chinese Communist Parties own particular highway to hell(for the West that is, the CCP's own citizens are carefully excluded from most Western content on the app.).</p><p>Back to the West and we observe the Canadian government stepping up in some very innovative ways, to boost their assisted suicide programs, which have proved to be a boon to a government struggling with ever increasing costly socialist initiatives such as their free 'health-care' for everyone, rampant homelessness, and the exorbitant costs associated with keeping old people and the disabled alive. Far better to borrow from the Mengele school of discipleship and adapt their ruling elites 'god consciousness' to ideologies such as Canada's MAID program, aka 'medical assistance in dying'...which should in actuality be called MAD, i.e. medically assisted dying, but that acronym comes a little to close to truth for comfort in the minds of Canada's politicians.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhX_BVOtD8ybBuiZ92K4608RJWBoqVnD57gxe8OW9-RmZ8MghHgZ3Gn2MSoFmK7Ak0redkav-X7Nj1D0qBXlnb0CD9kdDB26gCD7cxK-g-D9ipMVsAH9jpDQ2HCMo5kmFgT2OS0dHEaWpDqwiwdrwkOMlEU8aJtItY98S3fr-19Eqv3tXqBQVP2-GaH" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="484" data-original-width="854" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhX_BVOtD8ybBuiZ92K4608RJWBoqVnD57gxe8OW9-RmZ8MghHgZ3Gn2MSoFmK7Ak0redkav-X7Nj1D0qBXlnb0CD9kdDB26gCD7cxK-g-D9ipMVsAH9jpDQ2HCMo5kmFgT2OS0dHEaWpDqwiwdrwkOMlEU8aJtItY98S3fr-19Eqv3tXqBQVP2-GaH=w436-h247" width="436" /></a></div><br />The application of these policies have succeeded beyond the governments wildest dreams, and they have expanded the legal scope of these programs time and again in Parliament to now not only assist the terminally ill in killing themselves, but has also applied the program to homeless people, war veterans, and even those waiting too long for artificial limbs...and now in the <i>pièce de résistance </i>young people with obvious mental issues and who should be referred to medical intervention are instead offered a 'way out'.

We are all experiencing the pressure to call that which is not, something. We are being told that it is ‘humane’, ‘kind’, ‘respectful’ to destroy the accepted meaning of pronouns, so we do it to keep the peace. We are expected to not only accept, or ‘tolerate’(a word that has morphed into ‘hate speech’ by the way) but promote and encourage transgenderism and the idea that a man can become a woman or visa versa. <br /><br />Just as we were seduced into accepting that destroying the historical(over millennia) model of marriage, was the kind, respectful and humane thing to do and that it was merely a small change with little to no further ramifications. In fact those who called it a ‘slippery slope’ were vilified, condemned and in many cases were shunned or lost their jobs for being so ‘hateful’.

Eric explains how this phrase was the result of the little known Johnson Amendment and is a carbon copy of what the majority of German churches who refused to speak out against Hitler said. Eric addresses all of this in his new book “Letter To The American Church” as a clarion call to our brothers and sisters in Christ who are still parroting this demonic line to justify their apathy and absence in the culture wars; a line that even Hitler himself used to silence the Church.<div><br /><div><a href="https://rumble.com/v1ot7ix-just-preach-the-gospel-was-hitlers-favorite-phrase-too-guest-eric-metaxas.html">https://rumble.com/v1ot7ix-just-preach-the-gospel-was-hitlers-favorite-phrase-too-guest-eric-metaxas.html</a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-35612156141061393972022-10-16T20:50:00.003+10:302022-10-16T20:50:56.979+10:30HIS STORY PERVERTEDI don’t watch many movies these days, can’t remember when last I went ‘to the movies’, but I do occasionally tape onto my hard drive, selections from the SBS World Movie series. I have just watched one and it was confirmed in spades why I don’t watch many. It’s a production called Assassins Creed (2016) with a great cast; Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, Charlotte Rampling, but talk about rewriting history. <br /><br />Of course given the trajectory of today’s Holly Wood the ‘assassins’(Shia Muslim sect) are the good guys and the Christians are the bad ones, in fact it is ironic that I quote C S Lewis in my title page as encouraging youngsters to admire 'brave knights', that most definitely would not include the 'knights' of this abomination of a movie. The baddie Christians are of course, seeking to control the whole worlds thought processes through the mythical ‘apple’ from the garden of Eden, which in my opinion is a classic Leftist act of projection. <div><br />In fact the ‘Church’ regalia in this movie looks like it belongs in a bacchanalian pagan festival, or is perhaps inspired by scenes from the Californian 'Bohemian Grove' cult where the scriptwriters possibly gained their inspiration. The ‘bible quotes’ were not from any bible I’ve read, probably because if any of the scriptwriters actually read the bible they would have burst into flames. <br /><br />Knowing a good deal of history, both Church and secular, I just could not swallow the absolute lies and misrepresentation of truth, and I noticed that even rotten tomatoes scored it a woeful 19%, though probably for different reasons. <br /><br />The attacks against the church and against Christians are being propagated from every angle and I hope and pray that Church congregations, particularly the younger members(this movie has been adapted from a popular video game) are kept informed on the true history of the West and the good things that we enjoy as a result of our Judaeo-Christian heritage, it is vital that we are kept ahead of the propaganda by the constant renewing of our minds and of our worldviews...but given my experience in various church bodies I fear that that could be mere wishful thinking. <div>To those who are teaching real meat, well done, great applause is due you.<br /><br />But God!</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-24309904404165130992022-10-13T08:14:00.003+10:302022-10-13T08:43:36.722+10:30CONSPIRACY OR FACT?All cultures and people groups on earth inhabit lands that were stolen from some previous inhabitants. Wars, conquests and forceful agreements have been the recorded history of mankind(oops am I allowed to say that anymore?), such is the revealed nature of humanity, proving for one thing the falseness of the Rousseauian doctrine of 'born innocent' and instead illustrating the biblical 'born to sin' doctrine. <div><br /></div><div>However the only culture on the planet being made to apologise for its existence is Western culture, arguably the one which has bought the maximum benefit to the globe and from whom most of the inhabitants of the earth appropriate to some measure. </div><div><br /></div><div>There exists a form of suicidal schizophrenia in the West where the neo-Gramscians who have gained control of the institutions view Western history(aka the Judeo-Christian culture) through an elitist, evolutionary, contemporary lens which condemns all who came before as ignoramuses, colonialists, slavers, conquerors etc and thus worthy of having their statues pulled down and their names erased from the history books, all in the manner of Winston Smith. I do believe C S Lewis called it 'chronological snobbery'.</div><div><br /></div><div>The suicidal schizophrenia comes in when these same 'contemporary colonialist/conquerors' then elevate 'indigenous' or 'ancient' pagan cultures and/or failed modern ideologies such as socialism and communism to places of honour and superiority thus effectively replacing an historically affirmed, successful and beneficial culture(with acknowledged issues!) with historically diabolical and disastrous ones.</div><div><br /></div><div>It not only makes the historically literate person think, it makes one question the motives behind this attack on Western values and mores. </div><div><br /></div><div>Destroy the West, the one independent, freedom affirming, cultural worldview that stands in the way of global domination by an elite oligarchy perhaps?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-88394077471804019342022-10-06T11:10:00.001+10:302022-10-06T11:10:36.252+10:30SIREN CALL<p> God's chosen people have long been considered the 'canary's in the coal mine'...if so...:</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMpFNDIy_F4r2FxvIlPm3fuzayyLI3e5mFshi779ViMTj8RFjOcVXy9FUNEN74wEUOSDW3YZw0WSRjVYf84JE7ZgGMLNYBKWrgXQl7IUc_Ploe7EbAd0pqQ8tNGdPGgh3pttaO6rD71cAKCMD4Qp-fi46Dja0AU75WQVEOk8h_KHpOOFj3cM9BBsML" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="146" data-original-width="501" height="93" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMpFNDIy_F4r2FxvIlPm3fuzayyLI3e5mFshi779ViMTj8RFjOcVXy9FUNEN74wEUOSDW3YZw0WSRjVYf84JE7ZgGMLNYBKWrgXQl7IUc_Ploe7EbAd0pqQ8tNGdPGgh3pttaO6rD71cAKCMD4Qp-fi46Dja0AU75WQVEOk8h_KHpOOFj3cM9BBsML" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-55931850118725989952022-09-26T18:30:00.002+09:302022-09-26T18:35:04.244+09:30I STAND THEREFORE I AM.I stand convicted of the many personal failures sown throughout my life. I speak as a gross and sometimes recalcitrant sinner and therefore not from a Pharisaical position, Lord guard my heart I pray. But if we as Christians are not prepared to stand against the debauchery, degradation, and obvious evils of our culture, if we refuse to speak out against the political thuggery being perpetrated on everybody, but most importantly on too many Christians in our culture(most quite subtlety as yet but in some cases less so), even if our voice is small and seemingly insignificant. If we use as an excuse; “I don't want to be political, I just want to preach the gospel” I ask ‘what gospel is it you want to preach that does not affect the lives of those being persecuted?’ I ask what is ‘political’ other than involvement with issues and circumstances that affect people? <br /><br />Did you stand against the vaccine mandate which grossly violated our bodily autonomy(what happened to ‘my body my choice’)? Do you speak up against the Abortion ‘Murder Inc’ industry and encourage those of your congregations or friends to do likewise? Are you speaking up against the cult of climate change and its impoverishment of whole nations, mostly the poor ones(e.g. Sri Lanka) and encouraging your friends and/or congregants to do like wise? Did you vote for or against the trashing of God’s order for marriage? Have you been seduced into believing that pushing the LGBTetc agenda is the ‘loving’ thing to do when statistics show the inordinate amount of degradation, debasement and suicides that result from this sexual addiction, aside from God’s calling it an abomination? Do you believe that God created us ‘man and woman’ or did God make a whole series of mistakes with the result that there are multitudes of ‘in-betweeners’? <br /><br /> I realise that it is much easier for some than for others, but ultimately do we really believe that Jesus died for our sins and rescued us from death? Do we live as if that were true? I am trying to, and I pray often that God grants me the courage at the correct and appropriate moment to do what He expects me to do and to say. I pray you do too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-28258672117898574192022-09-24T13:18:00.003+09:302022-09-24T13:18:43.568+09:30TO BE OR NOT TO BEWe should not despair at what is happening in the world at the moment. Yes, we can all plainly see that evil has been unleashed (perhaps it would be more accurate to say it has been exposed because it has always been at work) and the results thereof are that we are regressing at an enormous rate in morals, ethics, self restraint etc, and the resultant zeitgeist is one of mounting chaos as the cities and towns of America and around the West in general implode under the effects of…..unrestrained sin!
But!
And while I stress that it is my opinion only, it is an opinion shared with a number of believers around the world...
I believe that God is allowing all of this to happen so that it lights a fire under the church and torches the apathy that the ‘good/easy/complacent times’ have allowed to flourish in our midst.
I will elaborate more on this in future musings.

An unfortunate reality driven of course, by a public willing to be led by the nose when the dream is more comforting than the reality:
<blockquote></blockquote>"Power industry expert Ben Beattie questions the current mania amongst politicians, bureaucrats and green activists for hydrogen as the clean, renewable fuel of the future. Beattie makes a simple point to ponder: producing hydrogen for energy use needs coal and gas, both to extract it from them as raw materials, and to power the energy-intensive electrolysis processes require to extract it."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-5943854732340760012021-10-21T08:16:00.010+10:302021-10-21T08:20:35.449+10:30Family Squabbles'Big Eva' - the institution of 'Big Evangelism', the bloated bureaucracy of, behind and amongst many of those who inhabit the visible, upper echelons of the Christian world. The 'establishment' Evangelicals, typically anti-Trump, pro critical-race theory and social justice who are however, also often anti-abortion, pro-traditional marriage etc. Therefore although many who are in this 'group' are fellow travellers, we can, and should critique the public declaration of ideas with which we disagree. To disagree is not to 'persecute' or to 'hate' the one who voices these positions, indeed it is in the pursuit of truth that we dare to disagree especially when the declaration of dubious positions are made public. To question a perspective is NOT to malign the individual...it seems obsolete to even have to say this, but unfortunately in the 'trigger-sensitive' culture that we currently inhabit, avowals of the obvious often have to be voiced.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-40332020908456969762021-07-27T23:08:00.000+09:302021-07-27T23:12:21.938+09:30DARK AGE MERGER<p>I have altered my worldview slightly in that I no longer believe that the dominant threat of the moment is full blown Marxism/Communism. I have not deviated from my revulsion of it as a political system and of the chaos it has wrought over the past century, and I also think that it (communism) might eventually win over the West, not because it is better, but because the Western 'education system' has successfully propagandized the wider public into; on one hand being unaware of the atrocities committed by the communist tyrannies, much like they have successfully convinced people that the devil doesn't exist, and on the other they have created in the greater populace, through government handouts and profligate social programming, a infantile reliance on big government. The latter has been Brobdingnagiously expanded with the Corona virus 'pandemic'. If indeed they win I have no idea what form the new communism will eventually morph into though I would guess more along the lines of a Gramscian system than a Leninist one. </p><p>Ergo, there has been a concerted and rather surreptitious 'socialist creep' taking place throughout the West, filtering through the cultural 'organs of meaning' in the Western societies just as Gramsci, Marcuse, Dutschke, Alinski and England's Fabian society have promoted throughout the decades since the second world war.</p><p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8CMtYE91hmegr5SJio1omRac88C1mvxVUPVIDcHqIzBQBqjMT5Ls0_zP32FUYEJGFo0pYeC50cT7UJMrKmfO3zJ4W8ZpbH-i0A18-qRNyuaadexYuHPE5O7J0S_naiTZ7ediHgjsNdA/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="203" data-original-width="150" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8CMtYE91hmegr5SJio1omRac88C1mvxVUPVIDcHqIzBQBqjMT5Ls0_zP32FUYEJGFo0pYeC50cT7UJMrKmfO3zJ4W8ZpbH-i0A18-qRNyuaadexYuHPE5O7J0S_naiTZ7ediHgjsNdA/" width="177" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Fabian Society's logo: A wolf in sheep's clothing(very recently abandoned in favour of the tortoise) symbolising their aim of 'permeating' socialism throughout society gradually but surely.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><p>Whilst the looming threat of communism is a real possibility, <b>the actual threat of the moment </b>is the way big tech, America's 1% and the global elite are engaging in a clandestine MERGER with the CCP's system of authoritarian, crony capitalism. One percenter Billionaire Charles Munger admitted as much in a television interview: </p><blockquote><blockquote>In an interview with CNBC, Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, praised the Communist Chinese Government for how it dealt with Alibaba founder and China’s richest man, Jack Ma. In October 2020, Ma gave a speech in Shanghai where he very bluntly criticized the Chinese financial industry. Days later, the Chinese killed his Ant IPO and summoned Ma to Beijing for “regulatory interviews.”<br /><br />Then Ma effectively fell off the radar. Some suspected Chinese Government had him imprisoned. Others wondered if perhaps Ma had simply been killed.</blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p>.....To Munger’s way of thinking, Jack Ma apparently got what he deserved because “he’s one of the swingers.” As Jesse Kelly often says, Communists are the same everywhere. They all want control whether through regulation or the barrel of a gun. And even breathlessly wealthy Americans like Charlie Munger can become enamored by that kind of power and control. China doesn’t need to invade America to conquer it. Not when the powerful and wealthy are so willing to simply adopt the Chinese model here in the US.</p></blockquote></blockquote><p>Of course if and when such a 'merger' occurred, it would not be very far into the future thereafter that true communism would emerge into power once more. The inevitability of tyrannical systems following on the heels of a pampered elite is a philosophical inevitability because the lust for power always trumps economical considerations and if history is any guide to the future, the big surprise for these 'elites' is going to be the way in which they will be mercilessly culled.</p><p>The American elite have gained control of the deep state, education, industry, the media and even the military's top echelon and unless this cancer is completely excised from America's cultural and political landscapes during the next Trump era, we are going to enter into a true 'dark age'. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-73954896106444410522021-07-25T23:31:00.000+09:302021-07-25T23:31:16.822+09:30THE POST MODERN INQUISITION<p>One of the great lies sown about the Christian Church being antithetical to science is how Galileo was persecuted by the church for his championing of the helio-centric universe:</p><p></p><blockquote>These included Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who’s investigations of the heavens using the telescope allowed him to resolve what were seen as flaws in the heliocentric model, as well as discovering aspects about the heavens that supported heliocentrism. [M Williams]</blockquote><p></p><p>Whilst it is true that he <i>was</i> brought before the inquisition, it was about the <i>theological </i>implications of his championing of the Copernican theories. And yes, he argued convincingly against certain dogmas and was upbraided by some in the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and was threatened with imprisonment, an accusation that developed into the myth which has stood for over two centuries. </p><p>However modern scholarly research and objective historical examinations of the multitude of manuscripts and documents constantly being uncovered have completely invalidated these claims and what actually emerges from the whole historical issue is that it was not the religious authorities that opposed his science, but that the real opposition came from the <i>scientific</i> 'powers' of his age; the secular/humanist Aristotelian's who held to the geostatic view of the earth and who were so invested in their own ideological assumptions that they even refused to look through his telescope lest they be <i>proved</i> incorrect.</p><p>There are many parallels today within the so-called 'scientific establishment' who are pushing political agendas and refusing to hear any opposing arguments. Indeed many of the more prominent scientists are going so far as turning to todays modern equivalent of the 'inquisition'; 'Big Tech' and demanding that these post modern bullies must intimidate and even de-monetize the new 'sceptics'.</p><p>History repeating itself once more.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-20745742727613286322021-07-25T15:15:00.001+09:302021-07-25T15:15:08.508+09:30Short and Brief There is no longer any systematic search for, or even a belief that such a thing as objective truth still exists.

I would place a safe bet that Jeff Bezos's jaunt into that newly minted economic zone formerly know as 'outer space' did not have any of the worshipful connection that both Buzz Aldrin and the Apollo 8 crew did with the Creator of the universe:<blockquote><div>Buzz Aldrin's taking of communion on the Moon: “In the radio blackout, I opened the little plastic packages which contained the bread and the wine. I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon, the wine slowly curled and gracefully came up the side of the cup. Then I read the Scripture, ‘I am the vine, you are the branches. Whosoever abides in me will bring forth much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.’ I had intended to read my communion passage back to earth, but at the last minute [they] had requested that I not do this. NASA was already embroiled in a legal battle with Madelyn Murray O’Hare, the celebrated opponent of religion, over the Apollo 8 crew reading from Genesis while orbiting the moon at Christmas. I agreed reluctantly. …I ate the tiny Host and swallowed the wine. I gave thanks for the intelligence and spirit that had brought two young pilots to the Sea of Tranquility. It was interesting for me to think: the very first liquid ever poured on the moon, and the very first food eaten there, were the communion elements.”<br /></div></blockquote><p>In fact if there was any worship taking place it was almost certainly to the god Mammon, and perhaps to Jeff Bezos himself given the heroic welcome he received on his return to earth after his free floating 'small step for Jeff, and huge leap for Amazon' that he undertook. </p><div style="text-align: left;">I think its time for the tin-foil geeks in their basements to develop a new conspiracy theory that this entire show was a Hollywood backlot production and that the bodies floating around in the huge phallic monstrosity did in fact have invisible wires attached to their 'space suits'.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-17741577503813609582021-04-09T15:34:00.003+09:302021-04-09T15:34:26.750+09:30Dribble down<p> Hurray....I have rediscovered my long abandoned blog post...some more dribbles from my keyboard to come.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966151543759356175.post-37880440906340104412020-04-06T11:07:00.001+09:302020-04-06T12:18:14.591+09:30THE VIRAL SOCIALIST<br />
I wonder about this period in our history. Perhaps this Wuhan virus is a metaphor for another more invidious virus, namely socialism. We see the precautions being taken as necessary to ‘flatten the curve’, but these extreme measures also contain the seeds to flatten the economy. To that end take note of who is cheering from the cheap seats; the Greens, the commies and those like Bob Carr/cur(Chinophile) who believes that we need socialism to repair the ‘damages of capitalism’ and thereby to repair the climate:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
Socialism is a society in which the people who do all the work get to decide what they produce, how they produce and how the products of society will be distributed. A society run by workers – a socialist society – could rapidly unwind the damage done to the planet under the rule of capital. No longer would the guiding principle of all economic decisions be profit. No longer would investors, businesses and countries be locked in an endless competitive scramble to maximise “their” slice of the pie. The guiding principle of socialism is solidarity – the idea that no-one should be left behind, and that all should work together to maximise the freedoms of each.[James Plested, Red Flag]</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
They're doing everything in their power to push their radical agenda and move our country further left. The fact that they have to use a crisis (Coronavirus) to attempt to get it done shows just how unpopular their socialist ways really are. "[Beth Bauman]</blockquote>
Nothing is going to deter the hard core Socialist Utopianist because most of these revolutionaries live in a theoretical world where human nature is malleable and human beings can be manipulated into doing what the elites believe is the best thing for the world. To paraphrase C S Lewis; There is no bully worse than the bully who believes he is dominating you for your own good.<br />
<br />The climate alarmists have prepared our society over a period of decades now to accept and fear catastrophism. They have planted the seeds of panic and this crisis is watering those seeds. When in our wildest dreams did we imagine an Australia where police all dressed in black combat uniforms would be shooing people off the beaches, out of parks and fining older woman sitting alone on park benches. Where in our worst nightmare did we see drones with flashing blue and white lights and loudspeakers haranguing citizens from the air…this whole scenario is Orwellian and by and large the population sits on their hands and accepts it. Most are too terrified to move out of their homes lest the neighbour or some other ‘concerned citizen peeking from behind a curtain’ snitches on them to some government authority…sounds familiar...Stasi anyone?<br /><br />I know that this pandemic is deadly, heck I am amongst the demographic most at risk, but if we allow this monstrous, totalitarian response to continue until this is our ‘normal’ way of life then we deserve nothing less. I for one am getting close to rejecting the fear-mongering and starting to go about my business as if no such thing were happening (the irony of it all is that I am something of a hermit in my studio anyway) and if I am arrested and thrown into jail for going to the beach or the wilderness to paint plein air, then so be it, it is my revolution against the totalitarian mindset.<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We can all work -- just like the Costco employees and supermarket cashiers and UPS drivers. We can all wear masks. Our customers can wear masks. We can all practice social distancing. Employees can stand six feet apart. Stores can limit customers. New customers can be allowed to only go in when others leave. We can sanitize our workplaces and stores like never before.[W A Root]</blockquote>
An finally, to those who think that I am acting irresponsibly take a good hard look at the statistics before you condemn me as some wild eyed fanatic rejecting clear science, because it is the science that I have seen that convinces me that this whole debacle has a time limit and that that limit is rapidly approaching.<br /></div>
