If you need a primer to crystallize what promoters of free markets, personal choice, individual liberties, self-ownership, and the dignity of human freedom are up against, I give you the manipulation of search results by Google as Exhibit A. (I did this experiment myself.)
The top image is the prompt Google fills in for you when you start typing the words, “How many people died under c…”. The bottom image shows that you have to type the full sentence with no prompts in order to research how many people died under communism. Clearly, you are being manipulated into thinking capitalism, which has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system, is bad.
Now, further consider, communism and its ugly baby sister, socialism, have killed magnitudes greater amounts by HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS than capitalism has, and then ask yourself… Who benefits if these facts are distorted and/or memory-holed?
Control Freaks, statists, socialists, and communists benefit. Big corporations, who collude with Big Gov, of course, also benefit. Everyone needs to use the internet in a lockdown, eh?
Who loses? We do. Ordinary, good, decent, hardworking folk. The ones who pay our bills. Who try to save a little. Who maintain our health. We are being squeezed between the mob of “useful idiots” and the oligarchy.
WE MUST UNITE.
The issue of self-ownership is not a left/right issue. It is “us” against “forceful global powers that want to control every aspect of your life” issue. They claim this control will benefit us all in the name of “safety” but they are lying to you. They are manipulating you. They are gaslighting you. They are abusing you.
Now, you may end up “feeling safe” for a little while, but you will not be safe. You will be a slave. A cog in the system. You will no longer be free, and what is the point of living if not the joyous, somewhat dangerous pursuit of happiness?
None of us get out alive, so we may as well enjoy the ride!
Liberty, freedom, consent, mutual cooperation and voluntary exchange are being presented to you as bad things, but we all know deep within our core this is untrue. Nothing is more rewarding than being the steward of your own life, and this right is being exterminated.
If we lose our inalienable right to body autonomy and the right to say NO to forced medical interventions based on our own consciences, we will not regain these rights without much suffering. I don’t want more suffering, I want less.
More freedom = less suffering.
THIS is the battle. Standing together NOW and saying, NO MORE! Please, please, please, join the fight! Say NO to any more government mandates, vaccine passports, or lockdowns. If you are told you must get the bio-injection, file for medical or religious exceptions. If you are rejected, force your employer to fire you. Then sue.
Together, we CAN reverse this terrible trend. Maybe not everywhere, but definitely, 100% we can, and WILL, stay free in the Free State of New Hampshire! Who is with me!?!
Yesterday, about 500 Granite Staters gathered at the State House in Concord to protest Biden’s federal mandate of vaccines for unfavored classes of people (companies with more than 100 employees). Of course, Congress is EXEMPT from the vaccine mandate, and also from the mask mandate. Some are more equal, what what.
The NH legacy news weighed in, mostly focusing on the moment where people loudly expressed their frustration with Sununu, leadership, and a failure to take more definitive steps to curtail Biden’s overreach.
Read their coverage, but take it with a grain of salt since they seem incapable of discerning between “anti-mandate” and “anti-vax.”
My comment on a social media fight:
Brian Miller can I ask you why THIS virus, THIS time, is supposed to change the way society has worked forever? Before, people did not have this notion that *I* somehow have **an obligation** to KEEP YOU SAFE WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE. If you are concerned about contracting this virus (but not somehow terrified of the myriad of other communicable diseases out there–why?!?–legacy news and propaganda, but that’s another conversation), please take every precaution you deem necessary, including self-quarantining. Never before have we expected the healthy to sacrifice their lives and livelihoods for the sake of “society.” This notion is on its face socialism and unacceptable in a free society. If we sacrifice the idea of “MY BODY MY CHOICE” to “my body YOUR/government’s choice,” WE NO LONGER LIVE IN A FREE SOCIETY. Either we own ourselves and have agency and autonomy over our bodies, or, well, the dark days are truly here… If we concede this point, there will never be an end to it. The government, and its boot, will own you forever… I will resist this as long as I breathe and will continue to fight to keep us ALL free.
This week, we look at the devastating property re-evaluations that will result in property tax hikes under Joyce Craig (vote for Victoria Sullivan in the primary on 9/21!). Tammy analyzes actual hospitalization rates in NH and finds–huge surprise!–they’re nowhere near full, they’re not even at 20%. Also: watch this episode to see the best joke Carla has told on air!
This is alarming, but not wrong.
Check out the real-time video below, and here are some first hand accounts from health freedom activists who attended.
“There is power in numbers, and we saw that in Concord today!
The NH DHHS had scheduled a hearing for public comments regarding proposed changes to the [vaccine] registry.
They didn’t expect us to show up like we did, you guys. We filled every seat in the auditorium and there was an overflow of people in the hallways.
They told us that the room was “at capacity” and that no one else would be allowed in. There were individuals standing in the room, and they were told they would need to leave. There were two officers present.
WE SAID NO.
They tried to bargain with us and said that they would hold a second meeting another day for those who couldn’t come inside this afternoon.
WE SAID NO.
People took off work, people got childcare, people drove 30, 60, 90 minutes to show up for this. We weren’t going to just leave those people in the hallway, or tell them to come back. We demanded a bigger room so that all in attendance could be included! We demanded public access for all!
We chanted, we sang, we pledged allegiance to the flag. We were not going anywhere and we were not backing down. We would not submit or comply. We’ve seen where that gets us, haven’t we? Enough is enough. The people in the hallway began to file in and fill the room.
And what happened next? The meeting was canceled! Was it a waste of time? No, not at all. Without the public hearing, they cannot vote on the proposed changes. This buys us more time.
They said they will be rescheduling, and it will be held in a bigger venue next time – as requested! We all need to show up (and bring a friend) when that date and time is announced! Stay tuned.
Everybody who was there today, thank you and well done. I am so proud to stand with all of you. Let’s show up again, and make our voices heard! #PowertothePeople”
HERE is coverage from legacy news.
Tonight on Rock Paper Hand Grenades, Joshua Solomon and I are going to be talking with the indomitable Carla Gericke about, what the hell is going on?
Just so you know… today the FDA’s acting commissioner Janet Woodcock approved the Pfizer vaccine before the originally slated clinical trial timeframe was completed. She also approved the promotion of OxyContin for 11 year olds a while back. You know, oxys… The thing that helped cause the opioid epidemic. Trust her at your own and at your children’s peril…
“In its opioid decision-making, Dr Woodcock, and the division she supervised, consistently put the interests of opioid manufacturers ahead of public health, often overruling its own scientific advisors and ignoring the pleas of public health groups, state Attorneys General, and outraged victims of the opioid crisis,” the letter said…The letter accused Woodcock of “dereliction of duty” for allowing opioid manufacturers to spend years disseminating false claims that narcotic painkillers were less addictive and more effective than they really were, contributing to the rise of mass opioid prescribing and spread of an epidemic that has claimed more than 500,000 lives.”

Below is my response to a dear friend who posted this on FB: “here’s what I don’t understand about the anti mask stance. It’s not just *your* body and your choice. People who don’t wear masks actually are putting others at risk, according to science. Which I believe in. If you don’t, that’s where this all falls apart. Why do you not believe the science, tho? How about all the proof of people winding up in the ER, dying, etc? I have personally known people who have died or almost died from it. And at its height, I laid my own eyes on big rig freezer trucks to store the bodies of the dead in NYC bc they couldn’t bury them fast enough. I’m all about freedom and rights too. But that stops when a particular freedom infringes on my or my unvaccinated nephew’s (because he is too young) rights. Like, you want restaurant employees to wash their hands after they take a shit, right? Or does that infringe on their rights? I’m truthfully not trying to start an angry debate – if anyone wants to, go ahead, but I won’t engage w anger – I’m just trying to understand your side of it.”
PART 1:
You’re free to believe “the science” you have been fed. I have delved deeper into the actual statistical data to make my own informed decisions, FOR ME.
“Science,” by its very nature, changes all the time. The more information we have, the better decisions we can make. When the government claims, as they now do, that there is only ONE TRUE SCIENCE, they are lying to you, and they are wrong. The censorship of any counterpoint to THE ONE TRUE SCIENCE is a “tell” that indicates something fishy is going on.
Did you know if you compare countries with or without mask mandates, it makes no statistical difference to the infection rates for a virus that has a 99.7% survival rate? I.e. regardless of what you have been told, masks don’t matter. If you feel better wearing a mask, more power to you. I don’t.
I understand you may be scared. I hope you also understand that you have actively and purposely bamboozled into thinking a certain way about this virus, and, unless you are willing to, say, champion AIDS or herpes or other communicable disease Passports next, you have to understand that arguing, as you do, that “*I* am in some way responsible for whether you get sick when you leave your house” is a terrible way for us to start interacting as a society…
Did you know the U.S. excess death rate was higher in 2017 than 2020? I.e., “In 2017, excess deaths and years of life lost in the United States represent a larger annual loss of life than that associated with the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020.” [SOURCE: https://www.pnas.org/content/118/16/e2024850118].
Did 2017 feel like a “pandemic” to you? (Did you know the WHO changed their definition of the word “pandemic” in order to take out “severity of illness” so that contractual obligations by nation states to buy vaccines is automatically triggered at a lower level of severity than before? Stated differently, did you know the WHO colluded with Big Pharma and said: Hey, if a virus spreads worldwide, regardless of how strong it actually is, we’ll say it’s a “super bad sounding pandemic” and guarantee to buy your stuff? Talk about perverse incentives!)
Did you spend 2017 living in fear? Did you feel the need in 2017 to protect yourself from, or judge, your friends and neighbors for their personal choices about their body autonomy? No.
Did you in 2017 think it was OK for unelected officials to ban what medicines doctors can prescribe to their patients? No.
What changed?
Hysterical propaganda from the government, aided by the legacy media and social media platforms, pushing a “product” for which there are NO long-term studies and for which no one can be held liable if it causes harm, to a population that has been literally scared out of their minds. On purpose.
Let me say that again: Scared out of their minds. On purpose.
What you have experienced this past year is basically like a WWII air-raid siren blasting nonstop in your brain, negatively affecting your amygdala and mental health. There is now a large body of work on “the science” of fear and “the science” of propaganda. I recommend you explore this area if you want to better understand what has been happening.
As a starting point, all I can advise is: Turn off the your TV, especially the news, and be careful about your screen time and innocuous seeming “push news” on your phone.
I don’t want to argue with you about this either, but I will not stand down from my position MY BODY MY CHOICE. I know it sounds harsh, but I do not have a duty to protect you from harm–YOU have a duty to protect yourself, and if you prefer to be around only masked or vaccinated people, that is your choice, but it better be in your home and not the public sphere. In public, I have as much rights as you, unless you now think you own me?
I’m unwilling to embrace the idea that I am a permanent germ vector that needs to be punished and forced to do something against my bodily wishes just for leaving my house.
Again, you do you, but you don’t own me. Not even one teensy bit, and definitely not my pie hole! 
That said, I love you, and I hope we can hang again in the future. Galt speed!
PART 2:
Also, unless you think there should be cameras in toilets watched by Big Bro Crap Police with fines, penalties and quarantine camps, that analogy falls way short. What if the person forgot to wash their hands, but there’s no shit or germs on their hands, should they still be punished even if they weren’t spreading a disease? Should we just pretend everyone is sick and diseased, or should we strive for a society where we don’t punish the healthy?
My hot yoga class has a sign from Buddha above the door: “You are what you think.” I suggest we all think about that…
