Simple Experiment & Logic Prove Numbers Of COVID-19 Cases Are Not What They Appear To Be How many individuals in this country are tracking the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the area on a daily , weekly , or monthly basis ?
Ever wonder what they are looking at ?
Well , if you put into a search engine the phrase “ number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in [ place your county and State here ] ” you will receive in your returns the site USAfacts.org that will inform you of the statistics for your county .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cause some individuals to gasp , particularly if that number is high based on the number of county residents .
But , is that number accurate ?
Let ’ s take a walk down Con-VID case lane .
In Newton County , Georgia , indicates the number of Con-VID-19 cases is 2,234 with 58 deaths reported .
In a county with approximately 105,000 residents , that is roughly a little over 2 percent of the population that has been affected and indicates a 2.5 percent death rate .
But , if you scroll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it shows a rapid increase in cases since the first case appeared on March 15 , 2020 .
However , this cumulative number is quite deceiving since the number does not take into account the number of individuals who have recovered from Con-VID-19 .
One can safely assume that the individual “ diagnosed ” with Con-VID on March 15th is no longer sick or has been placed in the number of deaths category .
So , what is the real number ?
In most illnesses or diseases , the total number of individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of individuals recovered , number of individuals active , number of asymptomatic individuals , and number of deaths – the totals of those four categories should equal the total number of individuals affected .
Moreover , the tally omits the number of individuals tested .
As we have seen , the cumulative number of individuals is always reported ensuring that the number will always increase , never decrease , to continue to stoke fear and be the cause for ever-increasing draconian tyranny to be enacted by local , State and national government .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Then , if you take into account the number of false positives , what is the real number ?
That is the multimillion-dollar question that if anyone could answer would blow the “ official narrative ” out into space .
exposed how the testing for Con-VID-19 is a scam exposed by a simple experiment .
Suppose that , after surveying 100 people , I discover 10 of them are left-handed .
The next day I survey 200 people and turn up 20 southpaws .
On each of the next 8 days , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ previous one .
And the number of left-handers keeps increasing by 10 .
Finally , suppose that I send a reporter the following graph ( which is not the one mentioned in the title , you ’ ll find that further down ) to use in a story headlined : If all of that happened , two things would be obvious : • None My reporter accomplice and I would be perpetrating a hoax .
• None You ’ d be an idiot to fall for it .
If we keep surveying more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course , we ’ ll keep finding more .
If for some bizarre reason you started suspecting that the number of left-handed people might be mysteriously rising , you wouldn ’ t care about the absolute number I find each day when you send me out to test your hypothesis .
What you ’ d want to know is the ratio of the number of left-handed people I discovered on any given day out of the total number I surveyed .
On the first day , it was 10/100 = 1/10 .
On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is still 1/10 .
On the third day , it was 30/300 , which , again , is equal to 1/10 .
The ratio of those who , as it were , tested positive to the total number tested stayed at 1/10 every single day .
Hence , contrary to the scam my reporter friend and I were trying to run , the number of left-handed people didn ’ t increase at all .
Isn ’ t this what the American public has fallen for when looking at Con-VID-19 cases that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Remember , the tests being used are not for diagnostic purposes , according to the creator of the RT-PCR test – Kary Mullis , have an 80 % false positive rate , and detect “ genetic material ” of Con-VID-19 , which has been discovered to be the same as human genome 8 : primary assembly .
Moreover , not one scientist has isolated the actual microorganism purported to cause Con-VID-19 ; and , the method these scientists have used departed from the accepted gold standard and did not meet Koch ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ somehow , the very same scam has been successfully used to convince the American public that the U.S. suffered an enormous “ second wave ” of COVID-19 infections in July ; which of course , in turn , was then used to justify the continued imposition of completely unprecedented and equally unnecessary restrictions on our liberty that make the taxes King George III leveled on our founding fathers look trivial by comparison .
States and local governments have issued unconstitutional , unlawful , illegal “ mask mandates ” , with some local governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that have been proven to be ineffective in containing the spread of any illness and can be harmful to your own health should you don one .
Many local schools have “ mandated ” children wear masks or face coverings in order to open schools while other localities have opted to participate in “ virtual school ” where teachers are able to spy inside your home .
Thau provides a link to a long list of research , which Sons of Liberty media has previously reported , indicating that masks don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we look at the very first documented case here in the united States , we find that she had traveled to China , was hospitalized with pneumonia a week later , diagnosed with Con-VID-19 , had 372 contacts , but only transmitted it to one individual – her husband , after she developed symptoms .
He , in turn , infected no one .
So , we know that asymptomatic individuals can not transmit Con-VID-19 .
But , Trump ’ s appointed “ Con-VID-19 expert ” , Dr. Anthony S. Fauci , reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not drive outbreaks .
“ Even if there is some asymptomatic transmission , in all the history of respiratory born viruses of any type , asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks ” , Anthony S. Fauci , January , 28 , 2020 .
So , why did the united States “ lockdown ” , governors determine what businesses were essential and non-essential , and issue wildly exaggerated fatality rates only two months later ?
And , during the same month , Fauci and Robert Redfield co-authored a piece at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fatality rate of Con-VID-19 was akin to that of influenza at 0.1 % .
In a staggering departure from accepted medical standards , well individuals were instructed to “ quarantine ” at home along with ill and high-risk individuals .
It ’ s the perpetuation of an agenda put in place some time ago that will see millions injured or dead – not from Con-VID-19 – but from a hastily , recklessly , fast-tracked vaccine laced with poison and God knows what else .
Take a look at the graphs Thau provided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Con-VID-19 is phony , just as the numbers of Con-VID-19 cases in Newton County , Georgia .
Thau leveled some serious valid charges against Fauci and Redfield .
Given that the only poses a real threat to the elderly and antecedently ill anyway , all we ever needed to do was keep sick people away from them instead of , you know , forcing infected patients into nursing homes like the man Anthony singled out for doing such a bang-up job handling the virus , New York Governor Andrew Cuomo did .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s adopt the same attitude that Congress and the Department of Justice evidently have .
Let ’ s totally ignore that the U.S. officials charged with guarding public health engaged in a deliberate campaign of disinformation in order to get Americans to accept a bunch of completely unnecessary restrictions that rained down untold hardship , misery , and death .
Even had the deadly rules inflicted on us served some legitimate end , the spike in cases being used to justify keeping them in place is just as much a hoax as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left-handed Americans .
Fauci , CDC director Robert Redfield , and the rest of the bureaucrats who pushed us into self-immolating over COVID-19 may not be the scientific geniuses the media has hyped them as .
But they aren ’ t dumb enough not to know that second enormous gray wave of COVID-19 infections comes from fraudulently presenting the wrong data .

It wasn ’ t just a scam , it was their scam .
Just like all the other misinformation about the virus both and Redfield have been spreading since their hoax began .
And , let ’ s not forget that the death count for Con-VID-19 has been bogus as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ experts ” off the hook .
Few Americans know that , when a local CBS affiliate examined 581 reported COVID-19 fatalities in Palm Beach , Florida , they that far less than a third ( 169 ) had actually died from the virus .
Most don ’ t even have a clue that the COVID-19 death tally they ’ ve been terrorized with for months has included motor- fatalities and victims .
But even taking the massively inflated official death toll we ’ ve been fed as gospel , last week ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witnessing a historically unprecedented episode of mass psychosis .
Yet neither Fauci , Redfield , nor any of the lesser bureaucrats responsible for making sure the American people are accurately informed about the virus has done a d***** thing to correct the completely unjustified state of fear gripping our nation – not even after last week ’ s poll announced the basic facts about which the public has been so tragically deluded .
Nobody went on television to tell us our fears were groundless and that more lives would be saved if young @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own well-being and we , instead , focused on keeping the infected away from the elderly and antecedently ill. Nobody in any of the agencies whose job it is to keep us informed about COVID-19 said a word to correct the dangerous delusions revealed to be gripping the American public .
That by itself ought to be enough to get someone in Congress or at the DOJ to start asking some serious questions about what the experts leading our response to COVID-19 have been up to these past six months .
Sadly though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suffer and die , deprived of our liberty , crushed under the needless burden of cruel and humiliating restrictions , huddled in corners afraid to breathe or let anyone else come near , obsessively covering our faces in a delusional state of panic .
Thau ’ s last paragraph says it all , because it is what is happening and what is being seen when staring at much of the general public covering their faces .
Do another experiment , America .
Dress your school-age child in clothes they would normally wear to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ short period of time , place a mask on your child .
Quickly , put a different color shirt over their current shirt , don another different color pair of pants , place a baseball cap on their head , stuff a girl ’ s long hair under the cap , and turn the mask inside out .
Do you recognize your child ?
Would anyone else if a stranger kidnapped a child , did the same thing , but placed duct tape over their mouth ?
No one would be able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Yes , this is a real danger ; but , the fear paralyzed public hasn ’ t thought about that – only the inflated danger of Con-VID-19 .
Scientists have not proven this is anything new .
In fact , my Mom , Dad , sister and her family and I contracted some type of illness in the summer of 2016 with the exact same symptoms being contributed to Con-VID-19 .
Dad developed pneumonia and was hospitalized .
All of us recovered , but no doctor knew what we had .
No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us could figure out where we became ill. We were all under the same roof in close proximity doing what normal families do .
Scientists have not proven this is a virus .
In fact , science hasn ’ t proven anything , only assumed .

So far , they have been successful .

As has become the norm , not one individual will be held accountable for this crime .

Asymptomatic individuals pose no risk to anyone. Then, if you take into account the number of false positives, what is the real number? That is the multimillion-dollar question that if anyone could answer would blow the “official narrative” out into space.
Michael Thau of RedState.com exposed how the testing for Con-VID-19 is a scam exposed by a simple experiment.
Let’s try a little thought experiment.
Suppose that, after surveying 100 people, I discover 10 of them are left-handed.
The next day I survey 200 people and turn up 20 southpaws.
On each of the next 8 days, I survey 100 more people than the previous one. And the number of left-handers keeps increasing by 10.
Finally, suppose that I send a reporter the following graph (which is not the one mentioned in the title, you’ll find that further down) to use in a story headlined:
Number of Left-Handers Mysteriously Grows!
If all of that happened, two things would be obvious:
My reporter accomplice and I would be perpetrating a hoax. You’d be an idiot to fall for it.
If we keep surveying more people for left-handedness, then, of course, we’ll keep finding more.
If for some bizarre reason you started suspecting that the number of left-handed people might be mysteriously rising, you wouldn’t care about the absolute number I find each day when you send me out to test your hypothesis.
What you’d want to know is the ratio of the number of left-handed people I discovered on any given day out of the total number I surveyed.
On the first day, it was 10/100 = 1/10.
On the second day, it was 20/200, which is still 1/10.
On the third day, it was 30/300, which, again, is equal to 1/10.
The ratio of those who, as it were, tested positive to the total number tested stayed at 1/10 every single day.
Hence, contrary to the scam my reporter friend and I were trying to run, the number of left-handed people didn’t increase at all.
Isn’t this what the American public has fallen for when looking at Con-VID-19 cases that continue to rise? Yes it is. Remember, the tests being used are not for diagnostic purposes, according to the creator of the RT-PCR test – Kary Mullis, have an 80% false positive rate, and detect “genetic material” of Con-VID-19, which has been discovered to be the same as human genome 8: primary assembly. Moreover, not one scientist has isolated the actual microorganism purported to cause Con-VID-19; and, the method these scientists have used departed from the accepted gold standard and did not meet Koch’s or Rivers’ postulates.
Thau continued:
Except somehow, the very same scam has been successfully used to convince the American public that the U.S. suffered an enormous “second wave” of COVID-19 infections in July; which of course, in turn, was then used to justify the continued imposition of completely unprecedented and equally unnecessary restrictions on our liberty that make the taxes King George III leveled on our founding fathers look trivial by comparison.
States and local governments have issued unconstitutional, unlawful, illegal “mask mandates”, with some local governments passing ordinances for the atrocious face coverings that have been proven to be ineffective in containing the spread of any illness and can be harmful to your own health should you don one. Many local schools have “mandated” children wear masks or face coverings in order to open schools while other localities have opted to participate in “virtual school” where teachers are able to spy inside your home. Thau provides a link to a long list of research, which Sons of Liberty media has previously reported, indicating that masks don’t work.
According to Thau, if we look at the very first documented case here in the united States, we find that she had traveled to China, was hospitalized with pneumonia a week later, diagnosed with Con-VID-19, had 372 contacts, but only transmitted it to one individual – her husband, after she developed symptoms. He, in turn, infected no one. So, we know that asymptomatic individuals cannot transmit Con-VID-19. But, Trump’s appointed “Con-VID-19 expert”, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, reported in January of 2020 that asymptomatic transmission does not drive outbreaks.
“Even if there is some asymptomatic transmission, in all the history of respiratory born viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks”, Anthony S. Fauci, January, 28, 2020.
So, why did the united States “lockdown”, governors determine what businesses were essential and non-essential, and issue wildly exaggerated fatality rates only two months later? And, during the same month, Fauci and Robert Redfield co-authored a piece at the New England Journal of Medicine indicating the fatality rate of Con-VID-19 was akin to that of influenza at 0.1%. In a staggering departure from accepted medical standards, well individuals were instructed to “quarantine” at home along with ill and high-risk individuals. It’s the perpetuation of an agenda put in place some time ago that will see millions injured or dead – not from Con-VID-19 – but from a hastily, recklessly, fast-tracked vaccine laced with poison and God knows what else.
Take a look at the graphs Thau provided to see that the supposed second wave of Con-VID-19 is phony, just as the numbers of Con-VID-19 cases in Newton County, Georgia.
Thau leveled some serious valid charges against Fauci and Redfield.
Given that the virus only poses a real threat to the elderly and antecedently ill anyway, all we ever needed to do was keep sick people away from them instead of, you know, forcing infected patients into nursing homes like the man Anthony Fauci singled out for doing such a bang-up job handling the virus, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo did.
But, for the moment, let’s adopt the same attitude that Congress and the Department of Justice evidently have.
Let’s totally ignore that the U.S. officials charged with guarding public health engaged in a deliberate campaign of disinformation in order to get Americans to accept a bunch of completely unnecessary restrictions that rained down untold hardship, misery, and death.
Even had the deadly rules inflicted on us served some legitimate end, the spike in cases being used to justify keeping them in place is just as much a hoax as my graph showing a mysterious increase in left-handed Americans.
…
Fauci, CDC director Robert Redfield, and the rest of the bureaucrats who pushed us into needlessly self-immolating over COVID-19 may not be the scientific geniuses the media has hyped them as. But they aren’t dumb enough not to know that second enormous gray wave of COVID-19 infections comes from fraudulently presenting the wrong data.
Yet they did nothing to correct the needless hysteria it caused and, in fact, helped sustain it by insisting that further restrictions like forcing everyone to wear masks were necessary when the real data showed that new COVID-19 cases – apart from a very slight rise that itself likely represents nothing more than the false positives you’re bound to get when you increase testing – were steadily falling to a tiny fraction of their mid-April peak.

And, let’s not forget that the death count for Con-VID-19 has been bogus as well.
Thau refused to let the “experts” off the hook.
Few Americans know that, when a local CBS affiliate examined 581 reported COVID-19 fatalities in Palm Beach, Florida, they discovered that far less than a third (169) had actually died from the virus.
Most don’t even have a clue that the COVID-19 death tally they’ve been terrorized with for months has included motor- cycle fatalities and gunshot victims.
But even taking the massively inflated official death toll we’ve been fed as gospel, last week’s poll shows we’re still witnessing a historically unprecedented episode of mass psychosis.
…
Yet neither Fauci, Redfield, nor any of the lesser bureaucrats responsible for making sure the American people are accurately informed about the virus has done a d***** thing to correct the completely unjustified state of fear gripping our nation – not even after last week’s poll announced the basic facts about which the public has been so tragically deluded.
Nobody went on television to tell us our fears were groundless and that more lives would be saved if young and healthy Americans stopped panicking about their own well-being and we, instead, focused on keeping the infected away from the elderly and antecedently ill.
Nobody in any of the agencies whose job it is to keep us informed about COVID-19 said a word to correct the dangerous delusions revealed to be gripping the American public.
That by itself ought to be enough to get someone in Congress or at the DOJ to start asking some serious questions about what the experts leading our response to COVID-19 have been up to these past six months.
Sadly though, they seem content to watch us suffer and die, deprived of our liberty, crushed under the needless burden of cruel and humiliating restrictions, huddled in corners afraid to breathe or let anyone else come near, obsessively covering our faces in a delusional state of panic.
Thau’s last paragraph says it all, because it is what is happening and what is being seen when staring at much of the general public covering their faces.
Do another experiment, America. Dress your school-age child in clothes they would normally wear to school. Now, for only a short period of time, place a mask on your child. Quickly, put a different color shirt over their current shirt, don another different color pair of pants, place a baseball cap on their head, stuff a girl’s long hair under the cap, and turn the mask inside out.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-08-29--Nearly 250 People Have Been Permanently Banned From Delta Airlines Due To Unlawful Mask Violations

Nearly 250 People Have Been Permanently Banned From Delta Airlines Due To Unlawful Mask Violations The law protects not only passengers aboard airplanes but also employees from businesses that demand they wear a mask in order to keep their job or fly the friendly skies , which don ’ t seem to friendly these days .
Now , it ’ s being reported that Delta Airlines he placed nearly 250 people on a “ no-fly list ” because they refused to comply with their fascist , unlawful , mandatory mask policy .
Delta Air Lines has placed more than 240 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” for failing to comply with its mandatory mask policy , CEO Ed Bastian said in a memorandum to employees on Thursday .
“ Although rare , we continue to put passengers who refuse to follow the required face-covering rules on our no-fly list , ” Bastian said in the memo , which highlighted the airline ’ s new hub facility in Salt Lake City .
There is currently no federal mandate on masks in airports or on airplanes , forcing each airline to implement its own regulations .
Delta customers and employees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or appropriate cloth face covering over their nose and mouth throughout their travel , aligning with best practice guidelines form the CDC , according to the company ’ s website .
“ As we all work toward the recovery , it ’ s vital that we continue to stay focused on the drive to provide the safest , cleanest airports , aircraft and workspaces possible , ” Bastian said .
Face coverings are required across all Delta touchpoints , including the lobby check-in , Delta Sky Clubs , boarding gate areas , jet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the exemption of limited time while eating and drinking .
Passengers on major U.S. airlines are required to check a box that confirms they will follow the airline ’ s mask rules , and airline gate agents can deny boarding to anyone not wearing a mask prior to a flight , Reuters reported .
Now , all of this is against the law for those who have a religious exemption , as well as a health exemption .
As we heard from Technocracy.News ’ Patrick Wood , the law is clearly not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the people they are oppressing as a corporation .
• Citizens For Free Speech : Mandatory Facemasks Are An Egregious Violation Of The First Amendment… & It ’ s Potentially Harmful To Your Health • I Will Not Comply : How You Stand Up To Mandatory Mask Wearing Tyrants In an email from Patrick Wood of Citizens For Free Speech , he writes , “ At CFFS , we believe that political mandates for wearing facemasks are an egregious violation of the First Amendment as well as potentially harmful to individual health.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a national symbol of fear and submission to government authorities .
Simply not wearing a mask does not become a symbol of resistance , but proactively wearing the “ No Mask ” card is such an anti-symbol .
Our cards are showing up all across America and they are already gaining a widespread visual recognition in many communities .
In other words , it is becoming the symbol of personal choice and resistance to medical tyranny .
We believe that every citizen should be responsible for their own health and make their own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that .
He also says that he wears his card , which points to the law so that tyrants , no matter who they are , will know that they are engaging in lawlessness by requiring a mask anywhere .
“ I have not worn a facemask since the lockdowns and mandates started , ” writes Wood .
“ When challenged , I am respectful and calm .
Many other people are reporting successes as well.
” “ However , it ’ s more than just about you and your health , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ No Mask ’ card you are making a public statement that you will not comply with draconian , unconstitutional and in many cases , lawless mandates commanding you to wear one.
” He then encourages people to “ use it as a conversation starter.
” “ The First Amendment is printed on the reverse side , and when you read it to some people , it may be the first time in their life that they ever heard it , ” he concluded .
Delta customers and employees are required to wear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ covering over their nose and mouth throughout their travel , aligning with best practice guidelines form the CDC , according to the company ’ s website .
“ As we all work toward the recovery , it ’ s vital that we continue to stay focused on the drive to provide the safest , cleanest airports , aircraft , and workspaces possible , ” Bastian said .
In early August , Delta made headlines after a plane headed to Atlanta circled back to its gate in Detroit , delaying takeoff .
The crew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been unwilling to wear masks .
It ’ s not just Delta .
All major U.S. airlines now require passengers to wear masks .
With the exception of children under age 2 , and slightly older children who can not maintain a face-covering , no one is exempt on Delta and other airlines according to NPR .
Although , a story just last week argues with that premise .
A Brooklyn mother was kicked off a JetBlue flight traveling from Orlando to New York , along with her children , after her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mask .
Videos of the mother , Chaya Bruck , speaking with a flight attendant before the plane took off has gone viral on social media .
In the video posted on social media , Bruck is talking to a flight attendant about her daughter not wearing a mask .
“ You realize she ’ s 2 ?
” Bruck says .
“ I do , and also , it ’ s not something we can excuse , ” the flight attendant responds in the video .
Videos of the situation show her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defense , saying the 2 year old should be excused for not keeping the mask on .
Bruck and her kids were still removed though .
The video is below courtesy of CBS Good Morning America .
There have been other incidents as well ; some of these were compiled by Business Insider here .
As Reuters reports , airline gate agents can deny boarding to anyone not wearing a mask before the flight .
But on the plane , there is little that flight attendants can do to ensure compliance other than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that would ban them from future travel .
It ’ s important to note that there ’ s a common misconception about the no-fly list maintained by airlines .
It ’ s not the federal no-fly list maintained by the FBI according to Trent Duffy , spokesman for the Terrorist Screening Center , who told NBC News in 2010 that there ’ s confusion around the two lists .
The law is not being upheld and it ’ s our job to make sure these companies get the message by our non-compliance and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posted with permission from Sons of Liberty Media

Nearly 250 People Have Been Permanently Banned From Delta Airlines Due To Unlawful Mask Violations
The law protects not only passengers aboard airplanes but also employees from businesses that demand they wear a mask in order to keep their job or fly the friendly skies, which don’t seem to friendly these days. Now, it’s being reported that Delta Airlines he placed nearly 250 people on a “no-fly list” because they refused to comply with their fascist, unlawful, mandatory mask policy.
Fox News reports:
Delta Air Lines has placed more than 240 people on a “no fly list” for failing to comply with its mandatory mask policy, CEO Ed Bastian said in a memorandum to employees on Thursday.
“Although rare, we continue to put passengers who refuse to follow the required face-covering rules on our no-fly list,” Bastian said in the memo, which highlighted the airline’s new hub facility in Salt Lake City.
There is currently no federal mandate on masks in airports or on airplanes, forcing each airline to implement its own regulations.
Delta customers and employees are required to wear a face mask or appropriate cloth face covering over their nose and mouth throughout their travel, aligning with best practice guidelines form the CDC, according to the company’s website.
“As we all work toward the recovery, it’s vital that we continue to stay focused on the drive to provide the safest, cleanest airports, aircraft and workspaces possible,” Bastian said.
Face coverings are required across all Delta touchpoints, including the lobby check-in, Delta Sky Clubs, boarding gate areas, jet bridges, and onboard the aircraft, with the exemption of limited time while eating and drinking.
Passengers on major U.S. airlines are required to check a box that confirms they will follow the airline’s mask rules, and airline gate agents can deny boarding to anyone not wearing a mask prior to a flight, Reuters reported.
Now, all of this is against the law for those who have a religious exemption, as well as a health exemption.
As we heard from Technocracy.News’ Patrick Wood, the law is clearly not on the side of Delta Airlines, but the people they are oppressing as a corporation.
In an email from Patrick Wood of Citizens For Free Speech, he writes, “At CFFS, we believe that political mandates for wearing facemasks are an egregious violation of the First Amendment as well as potentially harmful to individual health.”
Wood elaborates:
Wearing a face mask has become a national symbol of fear and submission to government authorities. Simply not wearing a mask does not become a symbol of resistance, but proactively wearing the “No Mask” card is such an anti-symbol.
Our cards are showing up all across America and they are already gaining a widespread visual recognition in many communities. In other words, it is becoming the symbol of personal choice and resistance to medical tyranny.
We believe that every citizen should be responsible for their own health and make their own choices as to how to best accomplish that.
He also says that he wears his card, which points to the law so that tyrants, no matter who they are, will know that they are engaging in lawlessness by requiring a mask anywhere.
“I have not worn a facemask since the lockdowns and mandates started,” writes Wood. “When challenged, I am respectful and calm. Many other people are reporting successes as well.”
“However, it’s more than just about you and your health,” Wood adds. “By wearing the ‘No Mask’ card you are making a public statement that you will not comply with draconian, unconstitutional and in many cases, lawless mandates commanding you to wear one.”
He then encourages people to “use it as a conversation starter.”
“The First Amendment is printed on the reverse side, and when you read it to some people, it may be the first time in their life that they ever heard it,” he concluded.
Aaron Kesel adds:
Delta customers and employees are required to wear a face mask or appropriate cloth face covering over their nose and mouth throughout their travel, aligning with best practice guidelines form the CDC, according to the company’s website.
“As we all work toward the recovery, it’s vital that we continue to stay focused on the drive to provide the safest, cleanest airports, aircraft, and workspaces possible,” Bastian said.
In early August, Delta made headlines after a plane headed to Atlanta circled back to its gate in Detroit, delaying takeoff. The crew was returning to discard two passengers who had been unwilling to wear masks.
It’s not just Delta. All major U.S. airlines now require passengers to wear masks. With the exception of children under age 2, and slightly older children who cannot maintain a face-covering, no one is exempt on Delta and other airlines according to NPR.
Although, a story just last week argues with that premise. A Brooklyn mother was kicked off a JetBlue flight traveling from Orlando to New York, along with her children, after her two year old refused to wear a mask.
Videos of the mother, Chaya Bruck, speaking with a flight attendant before the plane took off has gone viral on social media.
In the video posted on social media, Bruck is talking to a flight attendant about her daughter not wearing a mask. “You realize she’s 2?” Bruck says.
“I do, and also, it’s not something we can excuse,” the flight attendant responds in the video.
Videos of the situation show her fellow passengers coming to Bruck’s defense, saying the 2 year old should be excused for not keeping the mask on. Bruck and her kids were still removed though. The video is below courtesy of CBS Good Morning America.
There have been other incidents as well; some of these were compiled by Business Insider here.
As Reuters reports, airline gate agents can deny boarding to anyone not wearing a mask before the flight. But on the plane, there is little that flight attendants can do to ensure compliance other than threatening to put passengers on a list that would ban them from future travel. It’s important to note that there’s a common misconception about the no-fly list maintained by airlines. It’s not the federal no-fly list maintained by the FBI according to Trent Duffy, spokesman for the Terrorist Screening Center, who told NBC News in 2010 that there’s confusion around the two lists.
The law is not being upheld and it’s our job to make sure these companies get the message by our non-compliance and lawsuits, if need be.

The same criminal woman, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who sided with globalists to disarm her people, many of which went willingly along with it in the face of the Christchurch mosque shooting hoax is now advancing more tyranny on the people in the wake of new pretended legislation that would fine those that violate the color of law, without actually being law, according to God’s moral law, up to $700 US dollars, or roughly $1,000 NZD.
Tyler Durden has the story.
During the same week Germany’s Merkel announced that across all but one German states a mandatory mask law will be backed by a 50 euro fine for any violators, New Zealand has announced its own nationwide mask mandate aboard all public transit amid a feared resurgence of COVID-19 cases, with a possible penalty for refusal of up to $1000 (NZD).
The small Pacific nation was previously celebrated as the first in the world to completely eradicate the virus after previously witnessing rapid community transmission.
By the early part of August the Wellington government announced “we had beaten it” as new cases stopped being reported, and following the strict lockdown measures of months prior which had also involved shutting down the border for the island-nation.
Clusters of dozens of new cases began recently popping up again, however, after which the government ordered some 500 troops to border quarantine facilities to prevent the infected from breaching isolation order. Many blamed foreign travel.
Reuters summarizes that the “The Pacific nation of 5 million people had seemed to stop community transmission of COVID-19 due to tough lockdown measures but reintroduced restrictions in its largest city, Auckland, this month following a fresh outbreak.”
“With restrictions to scale back on Sunday, Ardern said in a Facebook post she was taking matters into her own hands before masks become compulsory on public transport across the country the following day,” the report continues.
The new mask mandate in effect this week applies to all buses, taxis, trains, fairies and planes. New Zealand media confirms that “From Monday, not wearing a mask on public transport will be punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 imposed by the courts, or a $300 infringement notice.” In New Zealand Dollars (NZD) this works out to a little under $700.
And NZ Herald also writes:
But anyone caught by police not wearing one without a reasonable excuse could be instantly fined $300 or fined up to $1000 imposed through the courts.
However, authorities say they’ll opt for “light enforcement” initially, likely to include warnings before tickets are issued.
Thus far this is the steepest fine we’ve heard of as the controversial trend of monetary penalties for not wearing a mask in certain public venues increasingly becomes a trend across parts of the globe.
The people of New Zealand who just whimped out and turned their guns in are probably now cowering in fear if they are intent at all in not buying into the fear porn narrative they are being fed by the mainstream, New World Order media. It’s going to take those who have resisted the tyranny to stand up in the name of the Lord and defend the liberty that still exists in New Zealand.Article asdfsadsfsgag

Seminole County, FL — The former Seminole County Tax Collector, Joel Greenberg is facing a slew of charges this month over accusations that he used his position of authority to engage in child sex trafficking.

Greenberg has been under fire since June when he was arrested on federal stalking charges. He allegedly stalked opponents, and made fake social media accounts in order to start rumors about his political opponent and paint the victim as a white supremacist.
The new allegations, however, are for crimes against children. According to the new federal indictment, Greenberg used fake IDs for individuals he was involved in “sugar daddy relationships” with and to engage in “commercial sex acts.”
This month he was indicted on six new charges for the alleged sex trafficking of an underage girl. According to the indictment Greenberg illegally used a state database to look up information about the girl and other people with whom he was engaged in “sugar daddy” relationships.
At the time of the alleged crimes, ranging from March to November 2017, Greenberg knowingly recruited and solicited a minor to engage in sex acts, according to the indictment. The victim was between 14 and 17 years old, according to the federal indictment.
“We absolutely deny the allegations,” Vincent Citro, Greenberg’s defense attorney said. “The government will not be able to prove its case. We look forward to prevailing at trial.”

As the Orlando Sentinel reports:
During a search of the home, agents confiscated electronic equipment from the home, including Greenberg’s and his wife’s cell phones and computers, according to court documents.

He even engaged in falsely representing himself as a cop using his tax collector badge to pull over a woman in 2017. A month after that, he was stopped for speeding by Lake Mary Police and attempting to use his position to escape accountability. It didn’t work.
In total, Greenberg faces up to 12 federal charges including child sex trafficking, identity theft and stalking, producing false identification, and unlawful use of means of identification of another person.
He is due in court in an Aug. 27 arraignment.
What this case illustrates is the fact that child predators exist in every level of government, from the Prime Minister to the police officer, these predators often seek out position of authority as it grants them access to tools others do not have to carry out their sick desires.

American Freedom Law Center, August 28, 2020:
New York, the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, has become the epicenter of constitutional violations. Governor Cuomo and New York City Mayor de Blasio have led this charge, issuing executive orders that plainly violate civil liberties protected by the U.S. Constitution.
But the American Freedom Law Center is fighting back! We filed two civil rights lawsuits in New York. The first lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, challenges the executive orders restricting the rights to freedom of speech and to peaceably assemble in New York City.
We filed this lawsuit on behalf of Pamela Geller, a political activist who wants to organize a peaceful, public protest outside of City Hall against de Blasio and his dictatorial policies. Cuomo’s and de Blasio’s executive orders prohibit this exercise of the First Amendment.
The Governor and the Mayor have threatened arrest and criminal penalties if you exercise these fundamental rights in violation of their executive orders, unless you are protesting as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. Both Cuomo and de Blasio have not only publicly endorsed these protests in statements posted on their official, government websites, but they have participated in them in violation of their own executive orders.
Below, for example, is photographic evidence presented to the court showing Mayor de Blasio participating in a Black Lives Matter protest in the City in violation of the executive orders. The Mayor is painting a “Black Lives Matter” mural on the public street outside of Trump Tower.
Remarkably, the district court judge denied our motion for an emergency injunction, making the patently false claim that “because the Executive Order prohibits non-essential outdoor gatherings . . . regardless of the messages expressed, the Court has no difficulty in concluding. . . that the restriction was enacted to protect the public health and bears a real and substantial relation to the public safety concerns at issue.” We filed an immediate appeal of this erroneous decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and we are seeking an emergency injunction pending appeal.
In our second lawsuit against Governor Cuomo, we are challenging his Executive Order 205, which requires all persons who travel to New York from certain “restricted” states to quarantine under onerous conditions for 14 days upon arrival in the State. A violation of the order could result in criminal and civil penalties, including a civil penalty of up to $10,000.
This lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York on behalf of Cynthia Page, a resident of Arizona who had to cancel her travel plans to New York due to the Governor’s order.
As stated by the U.S. Supreme Court, “The right to travel is a virtually unconditional personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us all.” This fundamental right is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment and by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
In this case, the lower court also denied our motion for an emergency injunction, holding that while this restriction burdens a fundamental right, the current public health crisis grants the Governor authority to suspend constitutional rights as he deems necessary. In other words, the courts are surrendering.
We immediately appealed this decision to the Second Circuit, and we filed an emergency motion pending appeal. We also recently filed a request with the court of appeals to supplement the record with new evidence: evidence showing that the Governor has provided an exception to his travel restriction for the celebrities that will be participating in the MTV music video awards in New York City.
The appeals in both cases are still pending in the Second Circuit.
AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi commented:
“Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio are classic examples of what happens when petty ideologues are handed the reins of power unattended by constitutional restraints. What we’re seeing in the courts are men and women in black robes cowering in fear of a pandemic and underwriting this lawlessness. This is reminiscent of the shameful judicial decisions rendered during past crises. Recall it was the courts that sanctioned the internment of Japanese Americans out of naked fear during WW II. AFLC’s mission is to resist this cowardice now and to lay the groundwork for judicial repentance.”
AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel Robert Muise added:
“Benjamin Franklin famously stated, ‘Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.’ Our courts, which are supposed to be the guardians of the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, have surrendered to these petty tyrants masquerading as mayors and governors. Their cowardice is leaving us with neither liberty nor safety. But the fight is far from over.”

The Democrats have read the polling tea leaves and started to creakily pivot away from the mostly peaceful riots.
But they’re missing the point.
Sure images of Kenosha were bad, but this wasn’t BLM’s first riot rodeo. Some people are reacting to Kenosha and a tipping point may have been reached, but the bigger story is the rise in shootings and robberies that are related to the riots, but also distinct from them. The Pew poll which freaked out so many Democrats noted that “violent crime” was the fifth biggest concern.
There are a number of interrelated factors driving the crime increase.
1. The pandemic jailbreaks freed many criminals from prison and many criminals are being released as soon as they’re arrested.
Here’s an outrageous, but by no means unusual, example.
A Los Angeles man is facing a slew of felony charges for stealing cars almost as soon as he was released from jail due to the coronavirus pandemic, over and over again, according to prosecutors. On a single day in May, he was arrested twice. Prosecutors allege Jose Enrique Esquivel stole over a dozen cars between March and June. Esquivel was first arrested on March 30, but released the same day as per the COVID-19 emergency bail schedule. He was again arrested and released on 11 separate occasions between April 28 and June 15, including twice on May 14. He was most recently taken into custody on June 23 for allegedly stealing another truck, but kept in jail because the emergency release fund had ended.
There’s a microcosm of the crime wave here.
2. Criminal justice reform
From freeing criminals already imprisoned to ending bail, the net effect of these various measures, many supported by Republicans, was to put massive amounts of criminals on the street.
Where do you think these professional looters were coming from? Prison.
3. The lockdown
As I previously documented, commercial burglaries had shot up in cities across the country even well before the riots and anyone had heard of George Floyd. A lot of businesses were as badly devastated by these commercial burglaries as by the more official riots. And the insurance rates are going to reflect all that.
4. The BLM Effect
The popularity of Black Lives Matter and the immediate crackdown on police officers accused of doing anything led to the latest incarnation of the Ferguson Effect multiplied a thousand times. The cops are pulling back, elected officials don’t want them fighting crime, and the criminals are emboldened.
The riots are definitely a factor in driving violent crime, but their root causes are the embrace of “criminal justice reform” which dismissed victims while embracing criminals.
We’re now relearning at high speed what we had already learned in the 70s and 80s (and if you think it isn’t us, the GOP still keeps running on criminal justice reform and polls show continued support among Republicans for BLM, and plenty of conservatives will tweet at me that George Floyd was murdered), about what happens when you champion criminals.
But the Democrats pivoting away from the riots won’t fix the core concern which is the escalation of violence and crime.
That’s not getting put back in the box with a few speeches and some editorials, as Democrats are proposing to do. People are fleeing cities and urban areas have become war zones.
We can put that back in the box but it would require a crackdown on crime. And that might require a whole lot more learning when both parties are still bashing the moderate and comparative weak 1994 crime bill.
We know what works and it’s what the pro-crime lobby that has its knee on the throat of this country hates.
1. Locking up career criminals and keeping them locked up.
2. Flooding high-crime areas with cops doing broken windows policing
3. Turning around areas by increasing property values, bringing in businesses, and gentrifying them.
Democrats and many Republicans have been running against 1, are mixed, at best, on 2, and might be somewhat more open to 3., but it doesn’t work without 1 and 2.
It’s a lot easier to break a community or a country, a lot easier to empower criminals, than it is to fight crime, and it will take real will and commitment to relearning what works and actually implementing it, no matter how much the leftists and some of their libertarians pro-crime allies shriek.

Return Of The Dust Bowl: The “Megadrought” In The Southwest Is Really Starting To Escalate
Much of the southwestern portion of the United States has been gripped by a drought that never seems to end, and there is a tremendous amount of concern that patterns that we witnessed back during the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s may be starting to repeat. In a previous article, I discussed the extreme heat that we have been seeing in the region lately. Phoenix has never had more days in a year when the high temperature has hit at least 115 degrees, and other southwestern cities have been smashing records as well. At the same time, precipitation levels have been very low, and the combination of these two factors is starting to cause some major problems.
A couple of weeks ago, NASA posted an article on their official website about the horrible drought conditions that we are now witnessing…
As the United States moves into the last weeks of climatological summer, one-third of the country is experiencing at least a moderate level of drought. Much of the West is approaching severe drought, and New England has been unusually dry and hot. An estimated 53 million people are living in drought-affected areas.
Since NASA posted that article, things have gotten even worse. If you go to the U.S. Drought Monitor website, you will instantly see why so many experts are deeply concerned. The latest map shows that nearly the entire southwestern quadrant of the country is now gripped by either “severe” or “extreme” drought. Needless to say, this is not good news at all for farmers and ranchers in the region.
Colorado is one of the states that is being hit the hardest. At this point, more than 93 percent of the entire state is experiencing very serious drought conditions…
According to United States Drought Monitor, drought conditions have gotten significantly worse in Colorado in recent days and weeks. Last week, approximately 72 percent of Colorado was experiencing “severe” drought conditions or worse. This has now jumped to just over 93 percent.
Because things have been so dry, it is really easy for the wind to pick up dust and start blowing it around, and this summer we have been seeing some really impressive dust storms.
For example, earlier this month two giant dust storms actually “converged” in the Phoenix area…
Two dust storms converged over the greater Phoenix area on Sunday, hours after the city broke another record as a heat wave grips the West.
Thankfully, at this point, we still have a long way to go before we return to the nightmarish conditions of the 1930s. The “Black Sunday” dust storm that so many history books talk about was actually 1,000 miles long, and it traveled at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour…
A month later, one of the most severe storms of the era, nicknamed “Black Sunday,” enveloped the Great Plains. It was 1,000 miles long, contained 300,000 tons of dust, and traveled up to 100 miles per hour. This weather didn’t just affect the land: Farm animals choked on dust and suffocated. At least 7,000 people died from “dust pneumonia” as a result of breathing in the fine particulates, and countless more were driven from their homes and livelihoods by the endless, swirling dirt.
Let us hope that we don’t see anything like that any time soon, but scientists are using the term “megadrought” to describe what the southwestern portion of the country is currently going through…
The western United States and parts of northern Mexico have been suffering through drought conditions on and off since the year 2000 – and unfortunately it may not let up any time soon. A new study has examined extreme droughts in the region dating back 1,200 years, and found that the current conditions have the makings of a “megadrought” that could last decades.
In fact, the lead author of that study is actually telling us that the current drought is “on the same trajectory as the worst prehistoric droughts”…
“We now have enough observations of current drought and tree-ring records of past drought to say that we’re on the same trajectory as the worst prehistoric droughts,” said study lead author A. Park Williams, a bioclimatologist at Columbia University, in a statement. This is “a drought bigger than what modern society has seen.”
Ultimately, the experts don’t know how long this new “megadrought” will last.
It could theoretically end next year, or it could persist for the foreseeable future.
But if it continues to intensify, it is going to become increasingly difficult for farmers and ranchers to make a living in the affected areas.
In addition, supplies of fresh water are going to become increasingly stressed. The once mighty Colorado River is now so overused that it doesn’t even run all the way to the ocean anymore, and experts are deeply concerned about the future of the river.
In the end, this “megadrought” may force dramatic changes in cities all over the region. Sadly, things have already gotten so bad that you can see the impact of the drought “everywhere”…
“You see impacts everywhere, in snowpacks, reservoir levels, agriculture, groundwater and tree mortality,” said co-author Benjamin Cook, of Columbia University’s Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. “Droughts are these amazingly disruptive events. Water sits at the foundation of everything.”
Those that have been following my work for many years know that I have been watching developments in the southwestern quadrant of the country for many years, and things have really started to escalate here in 2020.
What a crazy year this has been. We are still dealing with a global pandemic, 58 million Americans have filed for unemployment over the past 23 weeks, civil unrest continues to rage in our major cities and major politicians are being chased down the street, and this month we have been hit by one natural disaster after another.
Now a presidential election is rapidly approaching, and many people believe that what we have experienced so far is just the beginning of our problems.
Without a doubt, our world seems to be going absolutely nuts, and that should deeply alarm all of us.

Democratic Socialists of America : No People are Harmed by Looting A decade ago , the media might have dismissed the Democratic Socialists of America as a fringe group .
But not now , in the era of the squad .
The DSA is an increasingly powerful force in the Democrat Party .
And here ’ s what the DSA in Portland had to say .
First , the DSA starts by claiming that harassing elected officials at their homes is a “ nonviolent ” or “ peaceful ” form of protest ” .
The absence of violence is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can check with Gandhi on this .
I can shriek obscenities in someone ’ s face and it is technically nonviolent .
The analogy is rather relevant because that ’ s a major form of “ peaceful nonviolent ” protest practiced by Black Lives Matter and their radical allies .
Harassing someone at their home is nonviolent only in the sense that you aren ’ t physically assaulting them .
It is far from peaceful .
But then the DSA escalates to insisting that looting is nonviolent and doesn ’ t hurt anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
are also not violent .
No people are being harmed .
But we have seen many Democrats , Republicans , and the media condemn certain protests that contain these acts as “ violent ” , ” it tweeted .
It ought to go without saying , to any functional adult , that stealing from people harms them .
Destroying a small business deprives people of a living , makes them less able to support their family , degrades their health and shortens their lives .

Democratic Socialists of America: No People are Harmed by Looting
A decade ago, the media might have dismissed the Democratic Socialists of America as a fringe group. But not now, in the era of the squad.
The DSA is an increasingly powerful force in the Democrat Party. And here’s what the DSA in Portland had to say.
First, the DSA starts by claiming that harassing elected officials at their homes is a “nonviolent” or “peaceful” form of protest”.
The absence of violence is not the same thing as peaceful. They can check with Gandhi on this. I can shriek obscenities in someone’s face and it is technically nonviolent.
That doesn’t make it peaceful.
The analogy is rather relevant because that’s a major form of “peaceful nonviolent” protest practiced by Black Lives Matter and their radical allies.
Harassing someone at their home is nonviolent only in the sense that you aren’t physically assaulting them. It is far from peaceful.
But then the DSA escalates to insisting that looting is nonviolent and doesn’t hurt anyone.
“Looting, vandalism, etc. are also not violent. No people are being harmed. But we have seen many Democrats, Republicans, and the media condemn certain protests that contain these acts as “violent”,” it tweeted.
It ought to go without saying, to any functional adult, that stealing from people harms them.
Destroying a small business deprives people of a living, makes them less able to support their family, degrades their health and shortens their lives.
But the same lefties who insist that hate speech is emotionally traumatic and therefore a form of physical violence also insist that breaking into somebody’s store, stealing everything, setting it on fire, and assaulting the owner if he tries to defend himself, is nonviolent.
