November 18, 2020 (Activist Post) — “If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.” That statement by President Donald J. Trump is actually posted on the official White House website. The “most powerful man on earth” had been repeating this specter for months even while the mainstream propaganda machinery, rigged polls and manufactured “experts” were predicting landslide victories for his challenger Joseph R. Biden Jr.
Before the 46th President of the United States is officially confirmed by the Electoral College on December 14, several legal issues and possible recounts must be resolved. Rather incredulously, late mail-in ballots are still being counted in the self-proclaimed “greatest nation on earth” — a task that would have taken a day or two in a relatively dysfunctional Third World nation. The U.S. electoral process is a choreographed circus with a long history of fraud. The ongoing Dominion Voting Systems fiasco is a natural extension of the Diebold controversy 20 years ago.
Democracy 2020 – as Fox News pompously themed the recent presidential elections – was anything but democratic. Representatives from one party were systematically barred from observing the ballot counts. The dead were resurrected for a day to vote for a particular party. The seemingly unbridgeable chasm between the Trump and Biden rallies did not translate into proportionate votes. Even the laws of statistics, particularly Benford’s Law, were mangled in this farce.
Just how could the incumbent lose Arizona when one juxtaposes the staggering 96 mile-long Trump train rally in the state with the minuscule crowds drawn by his opponent? Even online, Trump supporters easily outnumbered their counterparts by several magnitudes. The illusion of Biden’s popularity had to be propped by paid trolls from India!
The U.S. electoral imbroglio is indeed the result of the “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” That damning quote is taken verbatim from none other than Joe Biden himself.
The Manchurian Fruitcake
The most puzzling aspect of this travesty was the nomination of Biden as the Democrat presidential candidate in August this year. Insiders would have been aware of his son’s incriminating laptops, including alleged evidences of child pornography and dubious dealings with Ukraine and China which stretch back to Biden’s stint as vice president. The FBI was reportedly in possession of such material since December 2019 but predictably did nothing.
So why nominate a highly-compromised and senescent gaffe machine to win a rigged election when any other cardboard cut-out would do? Perhaps, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent invocation of the 25th Amendment offers the best clue: A full month before the elections, the Speaker called for the establishment of a (presumably permanent) commission to determine a president’s fitness for office. Pelosi insisted that it was “not about Trump” who incidentally appears sharper with every quotidian brickbat thrown at him.
The logical conclusion is inescapable: A Joe Biden presidency will be stillborn. The following scenario therefore is predicated on the surmise that Trump will not be sworn in as president on January 20, 2021.
Pandemonium Unleashed
Why did the mainstream media throw every hook, line, sinker and septic tank to ensure a Biden presidency with its attendant uncertainties?
Over the next four years, what the United States needs foremost is social stability and unity in the face of unprecedented meltdowns in every sector of its society. The incoming Biden administration intends to meet these critical challenges by severely curtailing fundamental rights even as Washington exports “freedom and democracy” for the benefit of its oligarchic assets worldwide. Contagions, breakdowns in law and order, cyberattacks, etc., will be used to justify the march towards authoritarian rule. Expect endless, hypocritical allegations of “rigged elections” in nations not aligned to U.S. foreign policy.
The promise of a comeback by Trump in 2024 would be an ideal psychological sop to avert civil war for as long as possible. There is a possibility that Trump may neither concede the presidency nor accept the outcome of the Electoral College meeting on December 14. He may however heed any decision made by the Supreme Court in order to “uphold the Constitution.” It would be a logical way out as the social pandemonium juggernaut unleashed during the presidency of Barrack Obama cannot be recoiled.
There will be several tipping points in this unmanageable cauldron. Sooner or later, Biden may have to step down in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris who, in turn, may be coerced to elect someone in the mold of Hillary Clinton as her number 2. Rapidly increasing lawlessness may, in turn, force a feckless Harris out of office.
In the meantime, a de facto politburo representing the interests of Big Tech, Big Pharma and the Military-Industrial Complex would effectively govern the nation. Let’s call it the “Liberty Commission”. Its real purpose would be to enrich a select few at the expense of disempowered citizens. U.S. policies will also be aligned to the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. Coincidentally, Biden’s first series of pledges as “President-Elect” were to prioritize immigrants and an assortment of globalist agendas over the lives of impoverished Americans.
All these machinations will fail because complex problems cannot be resolved by a horde of duplicitous cretins who can no longer distinguish their own lies from stark reality. Expect a raft of incoherent policies that will “choose truth over facts” — to use Biden’s words once again!
Echoes from History
There are important historical parallels at play here. The lawless “social justice” movements unleashed by the Obama administration are eerily redolent of National Socialist (Nazi) agitations which led to the ascendancy of Adolf Hitler as the chancellor and later Führer of Germany — despite lacking the majority vote in the last pre-WWII elections. Once in power, Hitler promptly purged his Brownshirt thugs in the Night of the Long Knives.
Will the assortment of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other “woke” movements suffer the same fate? This is a mob that does not spare children. They were promised pies in the sky but what awaits them might be the sword of martial law. Mobocracy, once unleashed, always ends in the decimation of a society.
Another historical parallel is the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 which devoured its main protagonists in a series of purges that lasted till 1923. A similar fate awaits the United States 100 years later. Expect a series of massive shakedowns, violent purges and constitutional changes to bring “order out of chaos” by 2024.
The only meaningful intervention at this juncture lies with the U.S. Supreme Court. Among various legal options at its disposal, the Supreme Court can order an unusual “contingent election” based on cumulative evidences of electoral fraud. This remains a tall order when one considers the gangrenous levels of corruption and blackmail along Washington’s corridors of power.
In the final analysis, this may be the last U.S. election conducted under the pretense of democracy!

November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The Pfizer coronavirus vaccine , which is pending government approval but is expected to be rolled out across the U.S. later this year , has to be stored at -70°C ( -94°F ) – nearly twice as cold as the North Pole ’ s average temperature in the winter .
According to NASA , the average temperature at the North Pole during the summer is 0°C ( -32°F ) .
During the winter , the North Pole ’ s average temperature is −40°C ( which , because this is where the Fahrenheit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ −40°F ) .
The Pfizer vaccine must be stored at a temperature that is “ 20 degrees colder than extreme winter temperatures at the South Pole , ” CBS News noted , predicting distribution would be a “ logistical nightmare.

Here 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a chocolate bar that melts easily .
Just as there are ways to keep the chocolate from melting into goo , there are things the drugmakers did to protect their COVID-19 vaccines .

‘ They 've used modified versions because those are more stable , ’ she says .
‘ This would be like changing the chocolate recipe so it 's not quite so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was to use lipid nanoparticles , which… ‘ is kind of like putting your chocolate inside a candy coating — you have an M & M , so the chocolate does n't melt.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are the current coronavirus shot frontrunners .
…the New York Times pointed out that Pfizer ’ s data — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a peer-reviewed medical journal — “ is not conclusive evidence that the vaccine is safe and effective , and the initial finding of more than 90 percent efficacy could change as the trial goes on.

Dr. Helen Watt of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre in Oxford , England , told the Catholic Herald that the Pfizer vaccine “ makes no use of a foetal cell-line in the production process itself , and no use in the design , ” but that “ [ o ] ne of the confirmatory lab tests on the vaccine did sadly involve an old foetal cell-line.

November 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, which is pending government approval but is expected to be rolled out across the U.S. later this year, has to be stored at -70°C (-94°F) – nearly twice as cold as the North Pole’s average temperature in the winter.
According to NASA, the average temperature at the North Pole during the summer is 0°C (-32°F). During the winter, the North Pole’s average temperature is −40°C (which, because this is where the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales meet, is also −40°F).
The Pfizer vaccine must be stored at a temperature that is “20 degrees colder than extreme winter temperatures at the South Pole,” CBS News noted, predicting distribution would be a “logistical nightmare.”
“The reality is there has never been been a drug that required storage at this temperature,” Soumi Saha, a pharmacist and director of advocacy at Premier (which is “a purchasing agent for hospitals across the country”), told CBS.
Messenger RNA is ‘a vaccine technology that’s so new,’ it’s never been approved by the Food and Drug Administration
In an article titled “Why Does Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine Need To Be Kept Colder Than Antarctica?”, NPR reported:
Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine candidates use a new approach to unlock the body's immune defenses. The approach uses messenger RNA, or mRNA, to turn a patient's cells into factories that make one particular coronavirus protein. That protein kicks off an immune response as if there was a real coronavirus infection (to be clear, since it's only one virus protein, there's no way the vaccine could actually infect someone or make them sick with COVID-19). Then, if someone who was immunized gets exposed to the coronavirus later on, their body's immune system will be able to fight it off more easily and they're more likely to avoid serious illness. It's a vaccine technology that's so new, no mRNA vaccines have ever been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. … Here's an analogy: Think of the vaccine as a chocolate bar that melts easily. Just as there are ways to keep the chocolate from melting into goo, there are things the drugmakers did to protect their COVID-19 vaccines.
NPR quoted a vaccine researcher who said the first step “was to modify the mRNA nucleosides — the ‘building blocks’ of the RNA vaccine. ‘They've used modified versions because those are more stable,’ she says. ‘This would be like changing the chocolate recipe so it's not quite so melty.’”
“The next step was to use lipid nanoparticles, which… ‘is kind of like putting your chocolate inside a candy coating — you have an M&M, so the chocolate doesn't melt.’”
Pfizer says its coronavirus vaccine is “90% effective.”
On Monday, Moderna said its COVID-19 is “94.5% effective” – and doesn’t need to be deep-frozen.
According to National Geographic:
The reason Moderna’s vaccine is more durable in regular refrigeration because its scientists have figured out how to keep it more stable. That was accomplished by mastering a strategic formula of lipid nanoparticles—the structural backbone of the vaccine that doubles as a mode of transporting the drug into human cells, says Aliasger K. Salem, chair of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Iowa. While the details of Moderna’s science are proprietary, Salem says the company’s COVID-19 vaccine likely builds on its previous work using lipid nanoparticles in immunizations for other infectious diseases, such as respiratory syncytial virus.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are the current coronavirus shot frontrunners.
‘Serious injury rate,’ safety and ethics concerns
Children’s Health Defense reported earlier this month:
…the New York Times pointed out that Pfizer’s data — delivered in a news release, not a peer-reviewed medical journal — “is not conclusive evidence that the vaccine is safe and effective, and the initial finding of more than 90 percent efficacy could change as the trial goes on.” …Fast Company reported on the development by reminding readers that the Pfizer vaccine, if approved, will be the first to use “an as-yet-unproven technology platform that relies on something called messenger RNA, usually shortened to mRNA.” Moderna is also working on an mRNA COVID vaccine. In May, Children’s Health Defense reported that clinical trials for Moderna’s vaccine had a 20% “serious injury rate” in its high-dose group.
Children’s Health Defense is run by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the nephew of John F. Kennedy and an environmental attorney. Kennedy has been outspoken in outlining reasons for concern about various vaccine projects. He has been raising awareness about children injured by vaccines since before the coronavirus outbreak.
Children’s Health Defense described mRNA technology as “an experimental approach designed to turn the body’s cells into viral-protein-making factories.”
On August 6, the advocacy group wrote of mRNA:
A key technical challenge is to get the vaccines’ bulky RNA “payload” into the cells intact—without it breaking down prior to arriving at its destination. In other words, mRNA vaccines will not work without an in-built delivery mechanism that enables the mRNA to shove its way into a cell’s cytoplasm. The chosen solution is to use trendy biotech “carrier systems” involving lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). LNPs “encapsulate the mRNA constructs to protect them from degradation and promote cellular uptake” and, additionally, rev up the immune system (a property that vaccine scientists tamely describe as LNPs’ “inherent adjuvant properties”). The LNP formulations in the three Covid-19 vaccines are also “PEGylated,” meaning that the vaccine nanoparticles are coated with a synthetic, nondegradable and increasingly controversial polymer called polyethylene glycol (PEG). In the corporate prospectus supporting Moderna’s stock market launch in late 2018 (an initial public offering that set a record for the biotech industry), the company was frank that its technical approach has numerous risks. Specifically, Moderna acknowledged the potential for its proprietary LNPs—and PEG—to produce “systemic side effects,” particularly given the scientific literature’s documentation of these types of side effects for other LNPs. In comments not generally seen by the public, Moderna stated (p. 33): [T]here can be no assurance that our LNPs will not have undesired effects. Our LNPs could contribute, in whole or in part, to one or more of the following: immune reactions, infusion reactions, complement reactions, opsonation reactions, antibody reactions . . . or reactions to the PEG from some lipids or PEG otherwise associated with the LNP. Certain aspects of our investigational medicines may induce immune reactions from either the mRNA or the lipid as well as adverse reactions within liver pathways or degradation of the mRNA or the LNP, any of which could lead to significant adverse events in one or more of our clinical trials.

There remain serious questions about the ethics of the coronavirus vaccines in production.
Dr. Helen Watt of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre in Oxford, England, told the Catholic Herald that the Pfizer vaccine “makes no use of a foetal cell-line in the production process itself, and no use in the design,” but that “[o]ne of the confirmatory lab tests on the vaccine did sadly involve an old foetal cell-line.” The Children of God for Life organization says that the Pfizer vaccine is tested using the HEK 293 cell line, which is derived from kidney tissue taken from a healthy baby who was aborted in the Netherlands in the 1970s.
Children of God for Life also says the Moderna vaccine has been tested on a cell line of an aborted child.
While a vaccine being tested on rather than actually containing in the syringe cell lines (or proteins or DNA) derived from aborted babies may arguably be less shocking to the average pro-lifer, questions about the ethics and safety of any such vaccine remain.
Furthermore, the connection of even non-abortion-tainted vaccines to pro-abortion, pro-contraception figures (such as Bill Gates) gives many pro-life activists pause, as does the fact that in the U.S., pharmaceutical companies are not liable for deaths or injuries caused by their vaccine products.
The vaccine-injured or their relatives are unable to sue vaccine companies thanks to a little-known law from the 1980s.
Earlier this year, in an interview with CNBC, after speculating that as many as 700,000 people might suffer side-effects from a vaccine, Gates said that “there will be some risk and indemnification needed” before vaccines are administered.
If we have you know one in 10,000 side effects that's you know way more 700,000 you know people who will suffer from that…It's very, very hard and that actual decision of “okay let's go and give this vaccine to the entire world.” Governments will have to be involved because there will be some risk and indemnification needed before that can be decided on.
Kennedy’s organization Children’s Health Defense notes in another article that earlier this year “the U.S. quietly pushed through Federal regulations giving coronavirus vaccine makers full immunity from liability.”
Russia approved a coronavirus vaccine in August. One of President Vladimir Putin’s daughters reportedly received both doses of it.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/14/2020) - The vaccine roll out is beginning in the United States, and first responders have been tagged as those likely to be among the first to receive a vaccine. President Trump needs to ensure that this is entirely voluntary. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition, today! _______________________________________________________________________ Early reports suggest that the U.S. military could be first on the list of those ordered to take a COVID vaccine. But, no one should be forced to be vaccinated against his or her will, especially members of the U.S. military! Military men and women, and their families, already sacrifice enough for the safety of our country. Forcing them to take an untested and unproven vaccine, against their will, would violate the spirit of their contract with America. This petition says 'No' to treating our servicemen and women like guinea pigs with an unproven and insufficiently-tested vaccine. Please SIGN this petition to President Trump asking him to declare, as Commander-in-Chief, that members of the armed forces will not be forced to take any COVID vaccine. So far, big pharmaceutical companies have reported casualties and halted trials for a COVID vaccine on numerous occasions: An AstraZeneca COVID trial participant died over the summer.
On October 12, Eli Lilly stopped a COVID antibody trial because of safety concerns.
Johnson and Johnson paused their vaccine trials on October 11 because one participant had an "unexplained" illness.
And, other AstraZeneca trials in the UK were put on hold both in July and September after participants developed a "serious neurological condition that might have been caused by the vaccine." No one, especially in the U.S. military, should be used as a guinea pig for proving the "effectiveness" of any COVID vaccine. Apart from these real health concerns, many military men and women object to vaccines made from aborted fetal cell lines and to other unethical testing, and these ethical considerations should also be honored. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which calls on President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, to issue a declaration protecting the right of servicemen and women to exercise conscientious objection in relation to a mandate for them to take a COVID vaccine. Just like it was essential for President Trump to nominate a new Supreme Court justice before the election, it is now essential that the President declare any vaccine to be voluntary for the military before January, just in case there is a transition to a new administration. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition to President Trump, today!

lifesitenews--2020-11-18--Biden: ‘more people may die’ if Trump doesn’t give in, cooperate with transition team

November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – As former Vice President Joe Biden prepares to assume the presidency of the United States in January , he is accusing current President Donald Trump of risking more COVID-19 deaths by refusing to cooperate with Biden ’ s transition team .
“ More people may die if we don ’ t coordinate .
Look , as my chief of staff Ron Klain would say , who handled ebola , a vaccine is important , ” Biden told NBC News on Monday , the Daily Caller reports .
“ It ’ s of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
How do we get over 300 million Americans vaccinated ?
What ’ s the game plan ?
It ’ s a huge , huge , huge undertaking to get it done , prioritize those most in need , and also cooperate with the World Health Organization and the rest of the world in dealing with this.
” “ If we have to wait until January 20th to start that planning , it puts us behind over a month , month and a half , ” he went on .
“ So it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that there be coordination now .
Now or as rapidly as we can get that done.
” Trump has not yet conceded the election to Biden , pending the final outcome of recounts and legal challenges to ballot irregularities in a handful of states .
But the Trump administration says it has already settled on agreements with 60 % of pharmacies in every state so far to distribute COVID-19 vaccines for free .
Further , refusal to cooperate with an opponent ’ s transition team until a disputed election has been certified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Administration must formally “ ascertain ” a winner before federal transition funds are released ; after the bitterly-contested 2000 election , the GSA under the Clinton administration did not do so for President George W. Bush until December 14 , the day after former Vice President Al Gore finally conceded .
Despite laying the blame for America ’ s 253,875 recorded COVID-19 deaths at Trump ’ s feet throughout the campaign , the actual plan Biden laid out for tackling the virus was largely indistinguishable from actions the Trump administration was already taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael Osterholm recently claimed America “ could lock down for four to six weeks ” to “ drive the numbers down , ” during which the federal government “ could pay for a package right now to cover all of the lost wages for individual workers.
” Additionally , Breitbart notes that Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself inadvertently undermined claims that a delayed transition would hurt the country by noting that Biden , “ having been the vice president of the United States and the chairman of the foreign affairs committee and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he knows the territory , so he ’ s going to be just fine in the transition.
” Several Biden picks have shed light on what a Biden administration will look like recently , from the aforementioned Klain , who has declared himself a “ soldier ” for abortion-on-demand , to transition chief for government-owned media Richard Stengel , who has advocated a federal “ hate speech ” law .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-11-19--Bishop backs priest in barring Catholic dad from Mass unless he wears mask

BRITISH COLUMBIA , November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A Catholic family man in the Nelson diocese of British Columbia has been told by his bishop and parish priest that he is not to attend Mass unless he wears a mask despite the fact that there is no government mandate to wear masks in houses of worship and no diocesan policy mandating masks in the parishes of the diocese .
“ It started with our parish priest telling us to wear a mask , that it ’ s mandatory , ” the man , who wishes to remain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LifeSiteNews in a telephone interview .
“ So I looked up the bishop ’ s letter , and when I read the letter it said to make exceptions for people who can ’ t wear masks , ” he told LifeSite .
“ So I just continued going to Mass ( without wearing a mask ) and the parish priest got a little more mean about the way he was going about it .
He included us in homilies about how we weren ’ t being obedient to the government by not wearing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were not raising our children properly to obey Caesar , ” he said .
“ And then he bluntly told me after , ‘ You don ’ t come to Church if you don ’ t wear a mask.
’ ” The man turned to Nelson ’ s bishop , Gregory J. Bittman , for help , but the bishop told him the same thing .
When he pointed out that the bishop ’ s own directive was to “ make allowances for those who come to Mass or prayer and can not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him that he was going to amend that .
“ He said ‘ You have to wear a mask , because COVID cases are going up in B.C.
’ ” He also told LifeSite that the only place he is required to wear a mask in his town is at Mass .
“ You can go everywhere else and not wear a mask .
...
The only place I ’ ve had to wear a mask now is to go to Mass , ” he said .
Although he strenuously objects to his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mask , he intends to assist at Mass whenever possible .
“ I hate to do it , but I thought , I ’ ve got to pick and choose here , ” he said .
“ Because I don ’ t think we ’ re gon na have the Mass much longer .
If they have their way , they ’ re gon na shut it down again.
” The Bishop ’ s Office of the Nelson diocese told LifeSite that the diocese does not currently have a mask policy but that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The province does not have a universal mask policy , either .
In an opinion piece published by CTV News on Monday , provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry explained why there is not a universal mask mandate in British Columbia .
“ Some people are asking when we will see masks mandated in B.C .
The answer is that they already are .
The mandate to use masks appropriately is a cornerstone of businesses ’ and organizations ’ COVID-19 safety plans , and is embedded in our health-care facilities ’ operational policies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” she wrote .
Saying that “ ordering universal mask use in all situations creates unnecessary challenges with enforcement and stigmatization , ” Henry also noted that these kinds of orders have little proven benefit .
“ We need only look at the COVID-19 transmission rates in other jurisdictions that have tried using such orders to see what little benefit these orders by themselves have served.
” In light of the B.C .
Centre for Disease Control ’ s expectation that organizations and businesses will implement mask policies , Archbishop Miller of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diocese to wear masks at church but stopped short of mandating them absolutely .
In a letter published on November 13 , the bishop wrote , “ On Monday , October 27 , Dr. Bonnie Henry , Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia , made the following statement : ‘ It is now the expectation that people will wear a non-medical mask in public spaces.
’ In light of this statement and in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our Province , I am urging that all parishioners wear masks during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Holy Communion .
Exceptions are made , of course , for those who can not wear a mask because of a disability or medical condition.
” B.C .

'And then he bluntly told me after, 'You don't come to Church if you don't wear a mask.''
BRITISH COLUMBIA, November 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic family man in the Nelson diocese of British Columbia has been told by his bishop and parish priest that he is not to attend Mass unless he wears a mask despite the fact that there is no government mandate to wear masks in houses of worship and no diocesan policy mandating masks in the parishes of the diocese.
“It started with our parish priest telling us to wear a mask, that it’s mandatory,” the man, who wishes to remain unnamed for fear of reprisal, told LifeSiteNews in a telephone interview. “So I looked up the bishop’s letter, and when I read the letter it said to make exceptions for people who can’t wear masks,” he told LifeSite.
“So I just continued going to Mass (without wearing a mask) and the parish priest got a little more mean about the way he was going about it. He included us in homilies about how we weren’t being obedient to the government by not wearing masks, and he also said we were not raising our children properly to obey Caesar,” he said.
“And then he bluntly told me after, ‘You don’t come to Church if you don’t wear a mask.’”
The man turned to Nelson’s bishop, Gregory J. Bittman, for help, but the bishop told him the same thing. When he pointed out that the bishop’s own directive was to “make allowances for those who come to Mass or prayer and cannot wear a mask,” Bittman told him that he was going to amend that. “He said ‘You have to wear a mask, because COVID cases are going up in B.C.’”
He also told LifeSite that the only place he is required to wear a mask in his town is at Mass. “You can go everywhere else and not wear a mask. … The only place I’ve had to wear a mask now is to go to Mass,” he said.
Although he strenuously objects to his pastor’s requirement to wear a mask, he intends to assist at Mass whenever possible. “I hate to do it, but I thought, I’ve got to pick and choose here,” he said. “Because I don’t think we’re gonna have the Mass much longer. If they have their way, they’re gonna shut it down again.”
The Bishop’s Office of the Nelson diocese told LifeSite that the diocese does not currently have a mask policy but that it is a work in progress.
The province does not have a universal mask policy, either. In an opinion piece published by CTV News on Monday, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry explained why there is not a universal mask mandate in British Columbia.
“Some people are asking when we will see masks mandated in B.C. The answer is that they already are. The mandate to use masks appropriately is a cornerstone of businesses’ and organizations’ COVID-19 safety plans, and is embedded in our health-care facilities’ operational policies and restart protocols in other public institutions,” she wrote.
Saying that “ordering universal mask use in all situations creates unnecessary challenges with enforcement and stigmatization,” Henry also noted that these kinds of orders have little proven benefit. “We need only look at the COVID-19 transmission rates in other jurisdictions that have tried using such orders to see what little benefit these orders by themselves have served.”
In light of the B.C. Centre for Disease Control’s expectation that organizations and businesses will implement mask policies, Archbishop Miller of Vancouver recently urged all parishioners of the diocese to wear masks at church but stopped short of mandating them absolutely.
In a letter published on November 13, the bishop wrote, “On Monday, October 27, Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia, made the following statement: ‘It is now the expectation that people will wear a non-medical mask in public spaces.’ In light of this statement and in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our Province, I am urging that all parishioners wear masks during Holy Mass, except for the reception of Holy Communion. Exceptions are made, of course, for those who cannot wear a mask because of a disability or medical condition.”
B.C. currently records 6,589 active “cases” of COVID-19, with 198 hospitalizations, the vast majority of which are in the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal regions of the province. B.C.’s interior, in which the diocese of Nelson is located, currently records 193 active cases with two hospitalizations. Three of the province’s 310 recorded deaths “with or from” coronavirus are from that region.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/14/2020) - The vaccine roll out is beginning in the United States, and first responders have been tagged as those likely to be among the first to receive a vaccine. President Trump needs to ensure that this is entirely voluntary. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition, today! _______________________________________________________________________ Early reports suggest that the U.S. military could be first on the list of those ordered to take a COVID vaccine. But, no one should be forced to be vaccinated against his or her will, especially members of the U.S. military! Military men and women, and their families, already sacrifice enough for the safety of our country. Forcing them to take an untested and unproven vaccine, against their will, would violate the spirit of their contract with America. This petition says 'No' to treating our servicemen and women like guinea pigs with an unproven and insufficiently-tested vaccine. Please SIGN this petition to President Trump asking him to declare, as Commander-in-Chief, that members of the armed forces will not be forced to take any COVID vaccine. So far, big pharmaceutical companies have reported casualties and halted trials for a COVID vaccine on numerous occasions: An AstraZeneca COVID trial participant died over the summer.
On October 12, Eli Lilly stopped a COVID antibody trial because of safety concerns.
Johnson and Johnson paused their vaccine trials on October 11 because one participant had an "unexplained" illness.
And, other AstraZeneca trials in the UK were put on hold both in July and September after participants developed a "serious neurological condition that might have been caused by the vaccine." No one, especially in the U.S. military, should be used as a guinea pig for proving the "effectiveness" of any COVID vaccine. Apart from these real health concerns, many military men and women object to vaccines made from aborted fetal cell lines and to other unethical testing, and these ethical considerations should also be honored. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which calls on President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, to issue a declaration protecting the right of servicemen and women to exercise conscientious objection in relation to a mandate for them to take a COVID vaccine. Just like it was essential for President Trump to nominate a new Supreme Court justice before the election, it is now essential that the President declare any vaccine to be voluntary for the military before January, just in case there is a transition to a new administration. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition to President Trump, today!
