David Zweig is the writer who gave us the deeply researched 2023 story about the insane government surveillance of a San Jose church that chose to continue with in-person services during the pandemic.
Many of us will not need a blow by blow description of the fight, unless we want to become even more enraged.
I cannot "move on". I cannot "let go". Details of tyrant actions I remember well.
4 Years ago: If there was a "Vax Train to Vaxx Camp" rolling into the closest train station for us dirty unwashed un-injected threats to society, too many people in my life would have been smiling on the platform, waving, "they'll get your mind right at vaxx camp Billy! See ya!"
Am not going to forgive. And the duped aren't going to buy that book.
They can't, there's too much sunk costs for them to even contemplate it.
How would you feel if you made the wrong moral choice because you offshored your thinking based on a psyop? I wonder how you'd feel if you found that out after you thought you were morally superior?
You might not want to know....let alone admit it.
We were persecuted and yet we are the ones who must try to understand why they did that, and to forgive them, despite them not caring about our experience of being forced to live as a pariah.
That was the toughest part of resisting: Knowing up-front, that's how it would end.
Im sooooo over these people. They'll remain in the same comfortable spot they were during the plandemic; pretending nobody else is pretending.
My friends (I kept some who "tolerated" me and invited me to things) say these discussions are not in their comfort zone. It wasn't in my comfort zone to be banned from attending events and even going to some restaurants!
I did divorce many of them. The fact is, I need social interaction. I've known some of the friends I kept for more than 40 years. They provided me, and still do, with social interaction. I made a couple of new acquaintances, but some live too far away. I don't have much in common with some of the others except our ability to see through the covid and sky spraying insanity. At 83 you may have lost friends through attrition. At least 6 of them are dead. Such is life - and death.
Their comprehension and concentration has been extinguished by a six pack of C19 boosters, long covid, fatigue, and most importantly, no desire to learn about the cult they joined in March 2020.
I totally agree…my advanced degree cousins with masters and a PhD degrees, can barely even sift through an article or piece that has any meat to it. Shoot they can barely follow my emails when I back up with facts, all the MSM/NYT/NPR ‘drivel talking points’ they repeat to me. (And they are “vaxxed and boosted” as well.)
I am mostly happy glad there is a good repository of what actually happened, so that actual events cannot be gas light, and will remain a stubborn thorn in the side of all that will want to "move on".
So much of the worst of it has disappeared, the videos of Karens pepper spraying kids at a park, Or being arrested for not wearing a mask. Empty city streets, people screaming out of their houses where they were trapped. Fired workers being thrown out the door with a gauntlet of cheering coworkers... anti lockdown protests where people were beaten to death. And the over the top glee and smugness of all that "participated".
I just want it on the record. I hope we have a Nuremberg 2.0, but I have been so incredibly disappointed with my fellow citizens (especially here in Santa Clara county where mask wearing in medical building s stopped being mandatory only THIS MONTH)
I had to teach remotely or semi-remotely for damn near a year. Thankfully I teach the oldest in the K-12 system- they were mostly formed. The kids now clearly show the scars of government and adult panic from their younger years. That whole experience made me more libertarian than I ever thought possible.
This was the EASIEST CALL ALL TIME. Still pisses me off.
There was all kinds of slobbering coverage on the 5th anniversary, but Exactly ZERO stories about individuals and businesses owners losing their livelihood. No stories about the mistakes made with children. No stories about despair, and, on... and, on...and, on.
Its as if NOTHING happened on the other side of the coin. It's as if everyone forgot what it was like to be 9...or 19 for that matter.
At no time in our history has this country, on balance, been that selfish or callous. Pisses me off more than anything
Looking forward to this book outlining exactly what we knew and when we knew it. Sooner or later, we're going to be faced with the stark reality that the 'experts' were lying and they knew they were lying BUT THEY JUST DIDN'T CARE about the children or anybody else.
I am beginning to realize how blessed we are to live in Lancaster County, PA. The local public school went back to in-person learning in January of ‘21. But our local Christian school, where our children and now our grandchildren attended through the eighth grade, started back in August of ‘20. Masks were loosely required and many decided to be unvaccinated. I choose to believe the government will not succeed in another universal lockdown.
Let’s hope the “government will not succeed in another universal lockdown”. My advice has always been…DO NOT COMPLY! Hopefully people (even the “vaxxed and boosted” ones) still have a few brain cells of ‘resistance’ left in them!
There's enough Karens and Chads out there. The government depends on who is in power. I'm not real sure how Trump would lean. My opinion about that changes, at least, daily. Dumbocraps in charge? The gulags will be opened and people will be carted off at gunpoint.
Watch as the corporate media completely ignores this book and refuses to have Zwieg on the talking head shows. The corporate media can’t have people questioning the coverage of the Covid scam, especially what the school lock-downs did to children.
I will NEVER forgive the covid crazy people. They are incapable of any self reflection let alone an apology. The silver lining of it all is my eyes are wide open to the evil tendencies of human nature. I know what side of the line I'm on.
If they want forgiveness they should seek it. The burden is on them to seek forgiveness, but that can only be granted if they can prove their remorsefulness and, by the integrity of their future behavior, their sincerity.
Personally I'm just indifferent to them. They no longer exist for me. It's healthier that way
Maybe it's just me, but I want them to try it again. I'm old, don't give much of a shit, ain't got much to lose, but they would know where I stand on their bullshit if they ever again try to tell me or my kids that we have to do anything for the "common good."
I knew folks who dutifully lined up took the jab, and are now dead. I have an associate who took the jab and has lost control of his ability to speak intelligibly. There are so many others who were healthy before the jab, and are now either dead or dying or irrevocably changed, and there is no way to establish any causative link. There is only correlation, and correlation is not causation. Opportunity lost.
I didn’t take the jab — not because I had questions about its efficacy, but because I wasn’t convinced of its safety. I don’t care about Pfizer’s statistics. Then it turned out that the manufactured and distributed “vaccine” was not the same as that used in the clinical trials. Then it came out that some batches test positive for human DNA. WTF? And of course, the fact that taking the jab required signing an agreement that released the manufacturer from all liability wasn’t exactly a huge confidence builder.
Then they came up with requiring folks to be vaccinated to go certain places or do certain things. WTF? That’s not even the way it works. The whole thing stunk. And the more they pushed, the more it looked like superstition. To their eternal shame, the doctors went along with it. It was politics, panic, and fear, not science.
Did they collect data on the medical history of those who received the vax? Nope. Opportunity lost. They didn’t want to learn. Throughout the entire episode, the only case I’m aware of wherein the medical profession acknowledged that the vax was contraindicated was for folks with auto-immune diseases. Everyone else was fair game.
The thing is, I’m not an “anti-vaxxer”. The principle behind vaccination is sound, and I don’t understand how any rational person can dispute the fact that vaccinations have saved an uncountable number of lives, probably millions, since Edward Jenner’s use of cowpox as an analog for immunization against smallpox in 1796. Smallpox claimed half a billion lives in the last 100 years of its existence, before it was finally eradicated (as far as we know) in 1980. Sixty percent (~300 million) of those deaths were in the 20th century alone. Smallpox was a horrible disease, and we owe its extermination to vaccination.
Nevertheless, when it comes to vaccines, the maxim “they don’t make ‘em like they used to” applies. Modern, mass-produced vaccines contain adjuvants (small amounts of various poisons [toxins], truth be told), which are believed to increase the efficacy of the immunizing agents. One of those is mercury, which is toxic as hell, and bioaccumulative. “Yes…but it’s such a tiny amount…”, goes the argument.
Imagine going to a restaurant for breakfast. You have a cup of coffee—a special House Blend that contains a tiny amount of dog shit. BLECCHHH!!! “But it’s such a tiny amount…” I don’t care; I don’t want ANY dog shit in my coffee. And I don’t want any poison in my vaccines.
They also contain preservatives, one of which is sodium benzoate. My wife is massively allergic to anything with a benzene ring in it, and she’s not the only one. Yeah, I get it; if you’re going to mass-manufacture vaccines and ship them all over the planet, you have to preserve them. But at what point do you cross the line from producing medicines that do only good to fudging into one-size-fits-all decisions that you justify with “acceptable risk analysis”? I don’t buy it.
And that’s the problem with the “regular” run-of-the-mill vaccines…never mind the unconscionably risky and irrational panic-driven approach that characterized the COVID-19 fiasco. I’m a scientist, and I understand the difference between simple and complex systems. They were using computer models (finite algorithms) to make predictions about the spread of COVID, and making policy decisions that completely derailed the world’s economy based on mathematical “tools” wholly unsuited for such purposes.
They’re doing exactly the same thing with the so-called “climate crisis”. Real scientists know what the science says, and what it doesn’t say. The science is NOT settled, and there’s no climate crisis. There is only politically manufactured hysteria, which reinforces the superstition that the political state is the solution to every problem. It’s a smokescreen whose purpose is to obfuscate the truth that politics is not only incapable of solving any problem, but it’s actually the source of the vast majority of societal problems.
A nation is its people, not a political state. The purpose of government is to secure the people’s unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We all pay lip service to that creed every July 4; yet, the political counterfeit we erroneously call “government” remains in place, 24/7/365, and we think we’re free because we get to choose the tyrants who rule us.
And no—this is NOT a rant against Mr. Trump. He’s much less a part of the problem than the people who hate him. He’s not a career politician, like so many of the hacks in Congress, nor is he one of the thousands of unelected bureaucrats who regulate us to death with rules that only multiply, in a nation that was never supposed to have anyone ruling anyone else in the first place. But instead of government of the people, for the people, and by the people, we’ve got government ON the people.
Go read the Declaration of Independence, just from “We hold these truths…” up to the point where it says “…to effect their Safety and Happiness.” Just that part; it’s a 20-second read…or you can splurge and allow yourself the luxury of an extra 10 seconds to compare it to the beast we currently call “government”:
I have an auto immune disease associated with the thyroid…I knew the EUA mRNA ‘injections’ were not going to be a good thing for me. But then again I am not a ‘shot’ person. Haven’t got a ‘vaccine’ since I was a child, with the exception of a tetanus booster that I got a few years ago (and knowing what I know about that ‘shot’ I regret getting it). No flu, hepatitis, shingles, pneumonia, RSV, nada! And I am in my early 70’s!
I lie that I got the tetanus booster if I am ever in an ER situation. I broke my femur in 2020 and that was the last time I was. I am 83. I didn't even get the polio shot when I was a young teenager. I refused the pneumonia vax when I went through chemo. Je ne regrette rien
Thank you Chris for renewing Mr Zweig’s coverage of Calvary, and to Mr Zweig for that research and now the book. I’ll buy it, read it, and recommend to every ubervaxxer I know. And insist the library stock it if they already haven’t. Good work!
Nope. I say it was an American policy success. This was meticulously game planned for years in advance. They don't call it the "plandemic" for nothing. The policies, hospital protocols, fear-mongering, vaccines, vaccine mandates, etc., were intentionally meant to be disastrous and harmful. That was the point. In so much, they were successful.
100%. 'Policy failures' suggests good intent when the intent was and continues to be destruction - not only of the US but of all Western nations. They continue to succeed at this and are so far getting away scot-free.
Congressional hearings, rants on X, and posts to WhiteHouse.gov do not criminal prosecutions make. Yes, we are seeing some disclosure of crimes committed against We the People over the last 10 years (lots of it not new,) and disclosure is important (as I'm sure this book will be.) But disclosures mean nothing without prosecutions.
We know what the Dems are doing for Trump 2.0 (same as Trump 1.0, now with extra crazy!) but where are the Republicans? They've offered nothing but a narcissistic fight over House-elected moms of newborns being able to cast Congressional votes from home. Hope for the punishment part of 'crime and punishment' in Trump's second term is fading fast.
Agreed. Sadly, many of the Republicans are not much different than the Democrats. They go along to get along because they want to preserve the system and continue capitalizing on their gravy train of grift; courtesy of we the tax payers. Most of the congress and senate from both parties are criminals. So much theater with almost no action. They just continue asking in the Benjamins $$$....
Anybody else been reading the studies on the Cognitive Decline of The JibberJabbed? Early onset Parkies & Dementia, also a swag of Psych disorder surge? If 68% of the World got these Human Baits then that's a LOT of Bad Crazy, yeah. This includes 99% of all Decision Makers as Enforcement & Propaganda made so many once intelligent people comply. Excess Deaths 18-54 demographic are raised so much that the Australian Govt attempts using only POST Plandemic data,,because the skew is so violent. ¡Achtung! Nuzzing to zee here, seig heil! ✋️
When we get locked down again, it will be done much more quickly and severely and for a much longer time. It will give governments what they really want: Total control. Listless WFHers and UBIers voting the way they are told, who must cheer for the boxcars they’re in or else be ostracized for their oldthink and lose all social credit.
JBS. I respectively disagree. At least where I live. The hinterlands are full of self sufficient people who are well armed and know how to survive without government. They won't care if their fiat currency is taken away. It won't buy anything anyway. And plenty of fence riders saw the damage done and won't go along again. Sure, we will lose the WFH, live on door dash types, but they are already in a prison without bars and beyond saving.
If a new lockdown/lockup-attempt is made, it will not be done the same way, for two reasons:
One, because the people doing it next time do not want to associate themselves with the failed Covid-lockdowns (no-one wants to be associated with failure, that's why so many business-people, politicians and HR-drones never admit fault, blame or responsibility), and two, because it will be done in the opposite way: enticing enough people to opt for it voluntarily and for financial benefits, until so many have adopted the new way that it may be made mandatory without much fuss simply because it is perceived as normal.
Preachy soap-box rant:
Since I'm Doom-scrying, I can't provide proof, but consider:
For computer-gaming, when they first appeared microtransactions were hated mocked, reviled and "everyone" agreed that they'd never work. Nor would pay-to-win-shenanigans, always online being compulsory, or no physical releases ever work, said the gamers (i.e. the customers) and the experts.
And look at where we are some 20-25 years later: all of the above is the norm.
Now consider that pretty soon the entire bureaucracy and administration of any Western nation will be run by people who have grown up with such systems as their normal; for them, social credits scores, always online appliances and total surveillance is not any stretch, the way it is for people over age 45ish. The most in the way of rebellious attitude they can manage when it comes to the globalist's electronic panopticon-state is:
"Yeah, but what're you gonna do, huh? Hey, have you seen the new trailer for celebrity-whatserface's movie yet?"
As I said, I'm Doom-scrying, and I want to be wrong about it. But I feel if I am to be wrong about it, those of us - wherever in the world we reside or hail from - must tell the young, that the way it is, is that way because those in power decided to make it so. We must tell them it can be different, it can be made different - it /must/ be made different.
And we must do this, because the very concepts of freedom, liberty and individuality are at stake, and are at risk at being removed from our shared consciousness of ideas.
I will never forget the day a young woman in her twenties told me, while we were watching a movie from the 70s: "Wow, were they allowed to joke like that back then!?" in awe and wonder, but also asking the question from within a context of PC/woke self-censorship being normal and the way to think and speak.
It was and remains one of the most terrifying moments of my life.
Thanks for the warning. LOL. No, I completely agree with you. There's a book - it's fiction - that looks at the microtransactions issue. It's called Red Flags by Lisa Black. It's a thriller as well. Would be good escapism if it didn't address a real problem.
Many of us will not need a blow by blow description of the fight, unless we want to become even more enraged.
I cannot "move on". I cannot "let go". Details of tyrant actions I remember well.

Am not going to forgive. And the duped aren't going to buy that book.
We actually very much need documentation of the fight, because the Left would love nothing more than to erase/rewrite that history.
^^This!^^
That is VERY true!
Amen.
We can't let go of the fire until the whole truth comes out...or it never will.
If not us, then who?
Agree with you totally.
As I am unvaxxed and not duped, I will actually buy & read the book.
I may even lend it to friends that are duped.
Silly me, they probably won't read it...
It's just nuts. They won't read it.
They can't, there's too much sunk costs for them to even contemplate it.
How would you feel if you made the wrong moral choice because you offshored your thinking based on a psyop? I wonder how you'd feel if you found that out after you thought you were morally superior?

Nailed it with "you might not want to know... let alone admit it."
This has been my experience.
My friends (I kept some who "tolerated" me and invited me to things) say these discussions are not in their comfort zone. It wasn't in my comfort zone to be banned from attending events and even going to some restaurants!
I could not be around those people any longer. Something would be tweaked in my mind…something would never be the same.
And that is also a sign of spiritual growth for yourself🕊️.
It’s not in their “comfort zone” because they’re ashamed of themselves on some level.
I did divorce many of them. The fact is, I need social interaction. I've known some of the friends I kept for more than 40 years. They provided me, and still do, with social interaction.

I totally agree. No matter what, it's not the same. It can never be the same.
👋 Hi❣ 🤗
What a sign of immaturity. Not admitting that you screwed up…especially when your life depends on it.

Their comprehension and concentration has been extinguished by a six pack of C19 boosters, long covid, fatigue, and most importantly, no desire to learn about the cult they joined in March 2020.

Neither do I.

No flu, hepatitis, shingles, pneumonia, RSV, nada! And I am in my early 70’s!
I lie that I got the tetanus booster if I am ever in an ER situation. I broke my femur in 2020 and that was the last time I was. I am 83. I didn't even get the polio shot when I was a young teenager. I refused the pneumonia vax when I went through chemo. Je ne regrette rien
On March 18, 2020, I wrote online: "I don't fear the virus. I fear the mob."

Many of us knew the lockdowns were bullshit, but we were outnumbered.
Thank you Chris for renewing Mr Zweig’s coverage of Calvary, and to Mr Zweig for that research and now the book. I’ll buy it, read it, and recommend to every ubervaxxer I know. And insist the library stock it if they already haven’t. Good work!
"American policy failures"
Nope. I say it was an American policy success. This was meticulously game planned for years in advance. They don't call it the "plandemic" for nothing. The policies, hospital protocols, fear-mongering, vaccines, vaccine mandates, etc., were intentionally meant to be disastrous and harmful. That was the point. In so much, they were successful.
100%. 'Policy failures' suggests good intent when the intent was and continues to be destruction - not only of the US but of all Western nations. They continue to succeed at this and are so far getting away scot-free.
Congressional hearings, rants on X, and posts to WhiteHouse.gov do not criminal prosecutions make. Yes, we are seeing some disclosure of crimes committed against We the People over the last 10 years (lots of it not new,) and disclosure is important (as I'm sure this book will be.) But disclosures mean nothing without prosecutions.
We know what the Dems are doing for Trump 2.0 (same as Trump 1.0, now with extra crazy!) but where are the Republicans? They've offered nothing but a narcissistic fight over House-elected moms of newborns being able to cast Congressional votes from home. Hope for the punishment part of 'crime and punishment' in Trump's second term is fading fast.
Agreed. Sadly, many of the Republicans are not much different than the Democrats. They go along to get along because they want to preserve the system and continue capitalizing on their gravy train of grift; courtesy of we the tax payers. Most of the congress and senate from both parties are criminals. So much theater with almost no action. They just continue asking in the Benjamins $$$....
Chris Bray— Glad to learn about this book.
But.... The Atlantic??!! Whoa, whiplash.
Isn’t it better that readers of the Atlantic get exposed to it, rather than sites with a more conservative bent??
Anybody else been reading the studies on the Cognitive Decline of The JibberJabbed? Early onset Parkies & Dementia, also a swag of Psych disorder surge? If 68% of the World got these Human Baits then that's a LOT of Bad Crazy, yeah. This includes 99% of all Decision Makers as Enforcement & Propaganda made so many once intelligent people comply. Excess Deaths 18-54 demographic are raised so much that the Australian Govt attempts using only POST Plandemic data,,because the skew is so violent. ¡Achtung! Nuzzing to zee here, seig heil! ✋️
Went to the FreePress link and read the excerpt. Then ordered the book. Thanks for the heads up, Chris!
Thank God the story is being told. Name them, shame them and hold them accountable.
When we get locked down again, it will be done much more quickly and severely and for a much longer time. It will give governments what they really want: Total control. Listless WFHers and UBIers voting the way they are told, who must cheer for the boxcars they’re in or else be ostracized for their oldthink and lose all social credit.
JBS. I respectively disagree. At least where I live. The hinterlands are full of self sufficient people who are well armed and know how to survive without government. They won't care if their fiat currency is taken away. It won't buy anything anyway. And plenty of fence riders saw the damage done and won't go along again. Sure, we will lose the WFH, live on door dash types, but they are already in a prison without bars and beyond saving.
Part of it is where you live. It'll never happen in Florida...but i could definitely see it happen in CA or IL, etc.
If they try it in Commifornia I know many people who will take to the streets in revolt.
Unfortunately that's what will need to happen
Thank you for this perspective.
Non-preachy part:
If a new lockdown/lockup-attempt is made, it will not be done the same way, for two reasons:
One, because the people doing it next time do not want to associate themselves with the failed Covid-lockdowns (no-one wants to be associated with failure, that's why so many business-people, politicians and HR-drones never admit fault, blame or responsibility), and two, because it will be done in the opposite way: enticing enough people to opt for it voluntarily and for financial benefits, until so many have adopted the new way that it may be made mandatory without much fuss simply because it is perceived as normal.
Preachy soap-box rant:
Since I'm Doom-scrying, I can't provide proof, but consider:
For computer-gaming, when they first appeared microtransactions were hated mocked, reviled and "everyone" agreed that they'd never work. Nor would pay-to-win-shenanigans, always online being compulsory, or no physical releases ever work, said the gamers (i.e. the customers) and the experts.
And look at where we are some 20-25 years later: all of the above is the norm.
Now consider that pretty soon the entire bureaucracy and administration of any Western nation will be run by people who have grown up with such systems as their normal; for them, social credits scores, always online appliances and total surveillance is not any stretch, the way it is for people over age 45ish. The most in the way of rebellious attitude they can manage when it comes to the globalist's electronic panopticon-state is:
"Yeah, but what're you gonna do, huh? Hey, have you seen the new trailer for celebrity-whatserface's movie yet?"
As I said, I'm Doom-scrying, and I want to be wrong about it. But I feel if I am to be wrong about it, those of us - wherever in the world we reside or hail from - must tell the young, that the way it is, is that way because those in power decided to make it so. We must tell them it can be different, it can be made different - it /must/ be made different.
And we must do this, because the very concepts of freedom, liberty and individuality are at stake, and are at risk at being removed from our shared consciousness of ideas.
I will never forget the day a young woman in her twenties told me, while we were watching a movie from the 70s: "Wow, were they allowed to joke like that back then!?" in awe and wonder, but also asking the question from within a context of PC/woke self-censorship being normal and the way to think and speak.
It was and remains one of the most terrifying moments of my life.
Apologies for being preachy.
Thanks for the warning. LOL. No, I completely agree with you. There's a book - it's fiction - that looks at the microtransactions issue. It's called Red Flags by Lisa Black. It's a thriller as well. Would be good escapism if it didn't address a real problem.
