I am a retired Marine, two decades of service, 76-97, disabled by the "classified experiment anthrax vaccine" we got going to the Gulf in 89. That "vaccine" was stopped in 91, after half a million and more Veterans have suffered auto-immune diseases, and unidentified diseases.
For two decades, I donned a "MK-17A1, or A2 military gas mask, then a Mission Oriented Personal Protective "suit", chemical, biological and nuclear protection, and practiced operating as a jarhead, as we would in real time, with real pathogens.
Our life expectancy was considered halved, just showing up in a potential contaminated field, until unless it was cleared, unequivocally. You take the "tear gas filters" out of the mask, not good for anything but tear gas, and tear open the treated filters, install them, and replace every six hours, if operation takes place in a verified contaminated environment.
For any veteran to have served in the past two decades, and it be suggested "masks work", is beyond ludicrous, beyond facetious. Even if someone published dozens of "peer reviewed analysis'", I wouldn't wear one under penalty of death, at sixty four, you won't make me do anything.
This plandemic well included the deliberate opioid crisis, the vast over-prescribing of every form of medication, I lost my wife to this "mass effort", almost two years ago, precisely because of this lockdown, the loss of connection with her sisters, never leaving her bed again alive. It's time we all, who have three or more brain cells that function, simply refuse.
I signed off my "natural rights" to enlist in the Corps in December of 75, I accepted the Uniform Code of Military Justice, in lieu of the Constitution, not because it was right, but simply the law. I didn't serve two decades, give up most of my life, voluntarily without "any of my natural rights", so pin-heads, bastard sons and daughters of their Father Satan, could make rules, impose on every right of Citizens. It's time to end the lies, and begin prosecuting and persecuting those criminals in Government, who have committed the greatest medical crime in the history of Mankind. "The Nuremburg trials" actually meant nothing at all, show trials, because the military bureaucrats of their time, Generals, staff and such, ensured the worst of the Nazi's were brought to America, well including Dr. Mengele's work, and our doing so forced the Soviets, who actually lost well beyond twenty million, "breaking the Nazi War machine practically single handed", to grab all of the war criminals they could, to survive our imposed cold war. Fauci is a primary recipient of Nazi Medical Criminal research and development since his appointment in federal service. As a Marine, all who've pushed this need a gallows behind them for their last words, I'd be pleased to pull the cord. John McClain, GySgt, USMC, ret, Vanceboro, NC
Thank you for sharing your powerful and poignant statement, John. I am so sorry for what you personally were forced to suffer, especially the devastating loss of your beloved wife.
Excellent point re: the opioid crisis being part of the mass pharmacide. I haven’t had time to watch them yet but understand “Dopesick” and “The Crime of the Century” both delve into this topic extensively and expose the same BigPharma corruption and regulatory capture that defines the injection pogrom.
I do believe you have earned the honor to pull the cord :-)
Please take good care of yourself, John, and thank you for your continued service on behalf of liberty, truth, and justice.
Thanks, Sirka! TBH, I may never have time to watch any movies, shows, or documentary series again—or at least until we defeat totalitarianism and end the democide ;-)
Hi John, thank you for sharing your story; it's powerful! The criminality of the anthrax "vaccines" should not go unpunished for those responsible.... This whole destruction of the West needs to be stopped. Generations have died to maintain the freedoms that the elite are now trying to take from us.
Boom! Another brilliant piece of work Margaret! You are, if I may say, a total badass💪 Keep on shining your intelligence, compassion, and love light bright - the world most definitely needs it now more than ever!💞
I so agree. Margaret Anna Alice is a badass par excellence! But it is true, there are millions at stake for schools...my school has hired so many people they have to use my library as an office...and the kids haven't been able to check a book out in 2 years. But our reading scores are falling...gee...I wonder why?
Have you watched the AJ DePriest interview (https://www.bitchute.com/video/WVlMdnQg2Yzw/) I shared in the footnote? The COVID bribes being dished out to school boards and hospitals are frankly staggering.
What a tragedy about the kids not being able to check out books from the library! 😿 And to think browsing, picking, and checking out books from the library was one of my favorite activities as a child!
No I missed it but I will now!!! Thank you! About the books just kills me...I cannot believe how people put their grown up greed and fear and needs befroe those of children...but boy have we seen it with the jabs, with the lockdowns the masking, etc...I hope these children will grow up and live in a free country with no digital passports, and if they do I hope they NEVER forgive us...ever. I am gonna fight like hell to keep the Constitution for them and I hope this country survives..but with lots of changes to make it truly free. But I wouldn't blame them a bit if they ended up hating our guts. I am pretty sick to my stomach with my fellow colleagues
I agree that it is heartbreaking to see what is happening to the children, but I don’t want them to be saddled with bitterness and resentment in the future. Instead, I hope they will draw inspiration from those of us who DID fight with all of our being to rescue them from a dystopian future and that they will treasure their liberty all the more because of it.
Great article. I really hope they see the light, even it it's just the light of "We'd better get on the 'Biden beat Covid let's mandate some 'freedoms' so the Dems can claim victory" train.
As anyone who's read my comments before knows, I'm kind of a RABID anti-masker.
I am living in CA w/the indoor mask mandate and I go maskless indoors all the time, and I am (STILL) so over it. I think others are as well, b/c I get hassled a lot less than I used to.
Tip for anyone else who wants to conduct business with a --horrors-- NAKED FACE: sadly, the bigger operations (i.e. corporate), are more likely to let you go. I think the smaller businesses, what few remain, are very scared that, you know, some uptight de-oxegenated-brained other customer will call the MASK COPS on them for permitting me to be there with a NAKED FACE.
However, this is what made me cry today--like, I have mostly been angry during this pandemic but I just lost it today. Walking on a beautiful seaside trail, of course w/no mask, and here comes another person on the boardwalk, masked in fresh salty clean breezy air, who sees me and does the absurdist theater move of turning to face away from me off the side of the trail, not saying hi or smiling or anything, just standing there like a VIRTUOUS MORON so politely waiting for OBVIOUSLY (b/c unmasked) polluted me to pass (and you know she was holding her breath). I lost it, started muttering then just dissolved into crying. I am SO ANGRY about all this and SO DISAPPOINTED in people. All those voluntarily masking outdoors, or in their cars alone, what is wrong with you? How are you so out of touch with your bodies you do not get headaches, dry mouth, scratchy throat and cough, or panic? How are you okay not seeing facial expressions, not letting others see yours? How have you just laid down ALL critical thinking in favor of picking up FEAR in one hand the the "GUIDANCE" of obfuscating and profit-hungry power-drunk bureaucrats/unelected officials/Big Harma/captured regulatory agencies in the other?
I come to certain substacks to find that lo and behold, there are some sane others, but let me tell you I know of about 2 peeps IRL here in CA. It sucks and I really worry we are lost as a society. This state is, for sure, in my area. I am in kindof a stand off with one of my jobs because they want me to mask outdoors and I am at the point where I have said: I am exempt, it is against my beliefs, and oh btw [all that science you threw at OR, I have all those links as well so I give people those] masks are useless, but these people are hardcore brainwashed and SCARED. I keep not doing it and they keep getting more frantic. Hoping to last until Gavin's illegal mandate expires on 2/15, but come on, hoping for Gavin to give up some emergency powers is like hoping for Santa Claus. Or should I say...like hoping EVERYBODY ELSE HERE IN CA WOULD JUST DISOBEY. If we all said NO this could be OVER! Well, the mask thing could; I'm sure they systemic bs that got us here would take a little more nuanced of a response.
Sorry--yes I am shouting. Guess today is my day to let the scamdemic get to me.
Thanks for fighting the good fight.
PS: I loved that sarcastic kid--hadn't seen that one!
Haha, great point, Michele—if they realize restoring freedoms would be in their best interest, we may have some hope of gaining traction.
Good job pushing back on the mask mania! I’m so sorry you had to suffer that emotional brutality from the self-righteous, hypochondriacal do-gooders. Did that person see you crying? I’d kind of like people like that to be confronted with the emotional and psychological pain they’re causing others. It might help shatter their hypnosis and make them feel human again.
Maybe there are some Californians in this Substack group who would be willing to meet up with you, perhaps at an upcoming protest or something like that? I know it’s hard when you feel alone, but you are definitely NOT.
BTW, a state Supreme Court judge just ruled New York’s mask mandate “unconstitutional," and declared it "null, void and unenforceable”:
Cool news on the NY mask front...thanks for that. Yeah, the protests keep happening on days I work, and since I already quit ONE job over the jab, I'm not in a position just yet to say no to the others...tho that is one of my goals, for how to meet others who are of same mind.
Not sure where you are in Ca but I ive in downtown Huntington Beach and it is rare to see a mask any where. Even in the resturants and stores. So thier are pockets of resistence
Fantastic article. The videos were very powerful. I was close to tears watching the woman repeatedly trying to force the little boy to wear a mask. It was heartbreaking. And that lovely British teenage girl expressing how her education has been ruined during covid says it all. Sometimes a picture or a video says a thousand words.
I am going to send this out to many people in hope that maybe just maybe it will inspire one or two to think for themselves. I remember hearing David Icke way in 2020 that we can easily stop this madness but it ain’t gonna happen until enough of us finally say bugger off to the idiots and yes men in charge. The interview at the end of this Highwire segment speaks volumes https://thehighwire.com/videos/covid-19-following-the-money/
Agreed re: the AJ DePriest interview at the end of the Highwire segment—I linked to that clip in the footnote (“some school districts and hospitals are getting”)! Terrifying stuff everyone needs to be aware of to combat the rampant bribery and corruption.
Probably the best article I have read since I joined Substack. And I had not even looked at all the excellent links and videos. Fantastic work, thank you.
Being an older German myself, I was adequately educated in German history in the 70ties when it still mattered in Germany to "wehret den Anfaengen" (resist the beginnings). Our year ten school trip went to the former Concentration Camp in Dachau, where we had to stomach to look at a big room full of skulls and bones (real ones - not Hollywood preps) from people who died in that camp. My kid's school trips in NZ and Australia were about fun, amusement parks, etc. Not sure when they stopped profound history lessons, but like most bureaucratic actions, they were slowly and unnoticeably faced out in the background. No wonder the current generation has no idea what is going on.
However, even my generation, who saw the same skulls, conveniently forgot. So it profoundly shocked and saddened me to see photos of shops in Germany that had "Unvaccinated not welcome in this shop" written on their window glass, less than 100 years after similar messages discriminated against the Jews. That some of my family members and friends accepted that unchallenged came as a wake-up call for me.
But worse. When confronted with the parallels to the Jewish "end solution", they got angry with me, saying I was "totally exaggerating" and that it was not comparable. To deal with it all, I started to write substacks which I found therapeutic. I wrote one substack in which I pointed out the parallels "of the beginnings" in Germany and the beginnings now.
This brings me to my thought this morning, pondering power and control as human traits. The insight was that most people do not want to grow up from their childhood experiences. Most children grow up in huge dependency when they are little. In most cases, they get looked after by their parents and are provided adequately with what they need to survive and flourish. In return, they surrender to the power and control of the parents and trust that it is not abused. This is normal.
It is also normal that children grow out of it. Sorry, correction. It was normal.
More and more, the state and increasingly global NGOs, with their all-powerful bureaucrats, take over that relationship, starting in kindergarten and schools, to be handed over to employers. Free-thinking, truly independent humans do not benefit the bureaucratic-commercial power structures. Over the last few decades, we lost our children to these new masters. We failed as parents. We lost against smartphones and unchecked capitalism.
Our children never learned to be truly independent and resilient. Hence the current situation. This new fascism is only possible because millions want to be led and controlled and accept it as somehow caring. Like children, they hand over their autonomy and expect to be fed and cared for. Unfortunately, they don't realise one significant difference to regular parental caring: Love.
Parents do it out of love and want their children to grow free and independent. The state, bureaucrats, and CEOs don't do it because of love and don't want "their children" to be free and independent. I wonder what needs to happen before they realise that. If they ever do, expect tantrums.
Another lesson from history is that "the revolution always eats their own children." It is easy to start a revolution but difficult to stop. History shows it gets more and more radical, as the transgender and health "revolution" shows. Buckle up, and prepare. Move to the country.
And I learned about it from the most important book I know of for understanding the progression to totalitarianism, Milton Mayer’s “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45,” which I made my book rec in my first Recommendations Roundup:
Regarding the criticism you got for drawing parallels, you are not alone—the propagandists intentionally weaponize relativization of the Holocaust to silence those who are pointing out that it’s happening again, as I note in these pieces:
Even Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav had a complaint filed against her for drawing comparisons in her Nuremberg Code anniversary speech! And, of course, she delves into these parallels deeply in her documentary series:
In peer reviewed studies, my research team and I cited over 200 studies showing that mask-wearing is known to be hazardous to brain, heart, lungs, immune system and even kidneys. Mask-wearing is also correlated with higher COVID incidence and hospitalizations. These studies are in Primary Doctor Medical Journal at https://PDMJ.org. We are an epidemiologist, a microbiologist and I, a practicing naturopathic physician.
Thank you so much for your extraordinarily diligent and thorough research on this topic, Colleen! As you probably saw, I referenced your studies extensively in this article along with PDMJ. I was delighted to find “a peer-reviewed journal by physicians and scientists without commercial influence”—if only all scientific and medical journals were that way!
I hope you get a response. My recent emails to NYU- president, trustees, medical director and influential others on the insanity of mandating boosters for students- many of whom were documented as having been infected and recovered from both delta and omnicon cvd by their student medical department went unanswered. Dropped into the abyss. I'm not a student- but it's personal. The same with my demands for Marin County's "public health" department to produce the evidence for their "guidelines" early on I am working on a two minute (that's the limit for public comment at zoomed county supervisor meetings) demand to have them conduct a retrospective analysis of the harm/benefits of their policies of the last two years. I may link to your mask data in my accompanying email. Thanks.
thank you for this referral. I was not aware of it, but will support him in any way I can. I agree that we can't know what impact we may have, but no response is the typical result of individual efforts to educate officials with no desire to be drawn out. Creative and leveraged acts of resistance like ACT-Up used are powerful forces for creating publicity if not agreement. Of course they were playing into Pharma's hands, so it will be far more difficult to undermine their fortress.
Mark is a good ally to have on our side. He *literally* wrote the introduction to “Propaganda” (https://www.audible.com/pd/Propaganda-Audiobook/B0741R8RD8), so he’s been analyzing this topic for a long time and thus has posed a particular threat over the past two years. So much so that NYU prohibited him from teaching his incredibly popular course on propaganda after a 20-year run. That’s not suspicious or anything ;-)
Thank you for rational thinking. It's been difficult over these last 2 years to witness the complete and utter trashing of rational thinking....ethical behaviour and moral compasses. 70 percent of the people I know are either completely insane or apathetic. 30 percent are insane, 40 are apathetic. One can only hope that we can wake the apathetic eventually.
So true, Ian, and I agree the loss of rationality, reason, logic, and critical thinking faculties has been one of the most distressing aspects of this mass hypnosis campaign. I, too, am trying to reach the middle 40% swing thinkers and do believe they are starting to awaken the more the narrative undeniably crumbles and reality comes crashing in on their illusion.
Those things, rationality, reason, etc. were educated out of the public decades ago. We are now reaping the fruits of this effort. For a fascinating account of some of the ways science has been damaged or destroyed, and rationality subverted, read the words of the brilliant Michael Crichton, delivered in this speech almost 20 years ago. The world lost a lot when he died way too young. https://stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Publications/PDF_Papers/Crichton2003.pdf
What an awesome and prescient article. How often have we heard ''trust the science,'' etc over the last 2 years? Scientists like Fauci or the clowns on CNN!
Jezebel Spirits Thrive When There Is No One Willing To Stand - Face Masks: The Flag Of Ahab & Jezebel, Their Modern Day Heritage, & Their Dynasty.
One reason that face masks are so important is that they push the boundaries on acceptable behavior and permissible oppression. They train those who wear them for further oppression. They also signal to oppressors that those who wear them are ready for further oppression.
A host of other sociological activities take place that I will not now get into, but which I write at length about in my books Face Masks Hurt Kids and Face Masks in One Lesson. This is to say that a face mask is much more than a face mask. It is much more than an attempt to stop the spread of a disease. The disease prevention claim, by the way, has been unequivocally disproven at this point.
Face masks, in fact, hurt you. Face masks are harmful both for those who wear them and those who allow them worn around themselves. The Jezebel spirit wants you to mask up, wants you to take the shot, wants you to comply to much worse. The Jezebel spirit wants no boundaries on anything as she says “just this one last thing,” and never stops coming up with that one last thing, because she never meets resistance. Jezebel spirits thrive in our era. That is precisely because Ahab spirits thrive in our era.
Face masks are harmful to humans. “Face Masks Hurts Kids” is a 500-page book that digs into the science of that topic. It is currently available at a reduced friends and family price through all major book retailers during the soft launch period. “Face Masks in One Lesson” is a book on how to never wear a mask again.
Thank you, dear Tessa! I don’t know if you noticed, but I linked to that fabulous “Sydney Morning Herald” gem you shared at your blog a while back—great find!
Another great post in the "Letters to" series! I have family in Oregon and I'm not sure they won't end up masking for generations there. The insanity in Oregon is, well, insane! Heck, even in most Islamic countries they don't start forcing the Hijab on girls until the age of 12 or so. I still think *forced* masking was the most dehumanizing and evil thing done to a population in world history. I *refuse* the mask and I will not go *anywhere* that requires them. I won't watch a show that has them, I won't watch news where people are wearing them, I won't even talk to someone wearing the diaper if they are doing it for "virtue". I *refuse* all parts of this agenda and have done so since the beginning. (Imagine if we *all* would have just said no) No mask. No testing for something that I don't have symptoms for. No distancing. No locking me down. No "mandated" shots. No. No. No. Say no and walk away. Don't argue, don't fight. Just say no and find another way to accomplish what you wanted to do, or be willing to do without. Sorry to simplify it, but it truly is that simple.
Well-put regarding the insanity in Oregon being insane! 😆 Fortunately, I live in the saner part, but unfortunately, Portland thinks it’s Oregon, and so does everyone outside of Oregon ;-) Kate Brownshirt has gotten drunk on power and doesn’t show any signs of letting up.
I’ve heard about people protesting the mask, but not watching a show that has them takes it to a whole new level—astutely so as it is clearly propaganda if they’re sporting muzzles! 😹
I agree—it really is that simple. Sadly, most people are too cowardly to summon the courage to defy the pressure to conform to the societal mores conditioning us to obey authority.
Yes but you can ease in gently. Go into a store with a mask in your pocket, talking to your child or on your phone, if pressed and a non-confrontational person, tell yourself that if someone calls you out, you’ll put it on. Prepare to be amazed, most wont. You can get braver and braver until eventually someone asks you to wear a mask and you can laugh and walk out, deciding never to shop there again.

I 100 percent agree with what you said.I loved your line"At 64 you won't make me do anything".I just turned 60 and I feel the same way.
Boom! Another brilliant piece of work Margaret! You are, if I may say, a total badass💪 Keep on shining your intelligence, compassion, and love light bright - the world most definitely needs it now more than ever!💞

I agree that it is heartbreaking to see what is happening to the children, but I don’t want them to be saddled with bitterness and resentment in the future. Instead, I hope they will draw inspiration from those of us who DID fight with all of our being to rescue them from a dystopian future and that they will treasure their liberty all the more because of it.
Let's hope so...but everytime I hear a grownup say to a child "pull up your mask" i get so angry....
😣

Not sure where you are in Ca but I ive in downtown Huntington Beach and it is rare to see a mask any where. Even in the resturants and stores. So thier are pockets of resistence
Good to hear--a whole different world.
Fantastic article. The videos were very powerful. I was close to tears watching the woman repeatedly trying to force the little boy to wear a mask. It was heartbreaking. And that lovely British teenage girl expressing how her education has been ruined during covid says it all. Sometimes a picture or a video says a thousand words.
Thank you, Helen, and I so agree with you about those poignant videos! My hope is those will reach them even if the science doesn’t.
I am going to send this out to many people in hope that maybe just maybe it will inspire one or two to think for themselves. I remember hearing David Icke way in 2020 that we can easily stop this madness but it ain’t gonna happen until enough of us finally say bugger off to the idiots and yes men in charge. The interview at the end of this Highwire segment speaks volumes https://thehighwire.com/videos/covid-19-following-the-money/
Awesome, and I hope it helps with the awakening, Jeff! And yes, we need to reach a critical mass of noncompliance (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/covid-is-over-if-you-want-it) to end this tyranny.
Agreed re: the AJ DePriest interview at the end of the Highwire segment—I linked to that clip in the footnote (“some school districts and hospitals are getting”)! Terrifying stuff everyone needs to be aware of to combat the rampant bribery and corruption.
Probably the best article I have read since I joined Substack. And I had not even looked at all the excellent links and videos. Fantastic work, thank you.
Being an older German myself, I was adequately educated in German history in the 70ties when it still mattered in Germany to "wehret den Anfaengen" (resist the beginnings). Our year ten school trip went to the former Concentration Camp in Dachau, where we had to stomach to look at a big room full of skulls and bones (real ones - not Hollywood preps) from people who died in that camp. My kid's school trips in NZ and Australia were about fun, amusement parks, etc. Not sure when they stopped profound history lessons, but like most bureaucratic actions, they were slowly and unnoticeably faced out in the background. No wonder the current generation has no idea what is going on.
However, even my generation, who saw the same skulls, conveniently forgot. So it profoundly shocked and saddened me to see photos of shops in Germany that had "Unvaccinated not welcome in this shop" written on their window glass, less than 100 years after similar messages discriminated against the Jews. That some of my family members and friends accepted that unchallenged came as a wake-up call for me.
But worse. When confronted with the parallels to the Jewish "end solution", they got angry with me, saying I was "totally exaggerating" and that it was not comparable. To deal with it all, I started to write substacks which I found therapeutic. I wrote one substack in which I pointed out the parallels "of the beginnings" in Germany and the beginnings now.

I don't think anyone in the family read it.
This brings me to my thought this morning, pondering power and control as human traits. The insight was that most people do not want to grow up from their childhood experiences. Most children grow up in huge dependency when they are little. In most cases, they get looked after by their parents and are provided adequately with what they need to survive and flourish. In return, they surrender to the power and control of the parents and trust that it is not abused. This is normal.
It is also normal that children grow out of it. Sorry, correction. It was normal.
More and more, the state and increasingly global NGOs, with their all-powerful bureaucrats, take over that relationship, starting in kindergarten and schools, to be handed over to employers. Free-thinking, truly independent humans do not benefit the bureaucratic-commercial power structures. Over the last few decades, we lost our children to these new masters. We failed as parents. We lost against smartphones and unchecked capitalism.
Our children never learned to be truly independent and resilient. Hence the current situation. This new fascism is only possible because millions want to be led and controlled and accept it as somehow caring. Like children, they hand over their autonomy and expect to be fed and cared for. Unfortunately, they don't realise one significant difference to regular parental caring: Love.
Parents do it out of love and want their children to grow free and independent. The state, bureaucrats, and CEOs don't do it because of love and don't want "their children" to be free and independent. I wonder what needs to happen before they realise that. If they ever do, expect tantrums.
Another lesson from history is that "the revolution always eats their own children." It is easy to start a revolution but difficult to stop. History shows it gets more and more radical, as the transgender and health "revolution" shows. Buckle up, and prepare. Move to the country.
What a phenomenal response, Ma Mu!
I appreciate your bringing up “resist the beginnings” because I reference that in this piece:
• “Letter to the Washington State Board of Health” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-washington-state-board)
And I learned about it from the most important book I know of for understanding the progression to totalitarianism, Milton Mayer’s “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45,” which I made my book rec in my first Recommendations Roundup:
• Recommendations Roundup #1 (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/recommendations-roundup-1-predicting)
Regarding the criticism you got for drawing parallels, you are not alone—the propagandists intentionally weaponize relativization of the Holocaust to silence those who are pointing out that it’s happening again, as I note in these pieces:
• “Letter to a Mainstream Straddler: Live Not by Half-Lies” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-mainstream-straddler)
• “Requiem for a Smear Victim: Clemens Arvay” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/requiem-for-a-smear-victim-clemens)
Even Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav had a complaint filed against her for drawing comparisons in her Nuremberg Code anniversary speech! And, of course, she delves into these parallels deeply in her documentary series:
• https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/never-again-is-now-global/
In peer reviewed studies, my research team and I cited over 200 studies showing that mask-wearing is known to be hazardous to brain, heart, lungs, immune system and even kidneys. Mask-wearing is also correlated with higher COVID incidence and hospitalizations. These studies are in Primary Doctor Medical Journal at https://PDMJ.org. We are an epidemiologist, a microbiologist and I, a practicing naturopathic physician.
Thank you so much for your extraordinarily diligent and thorough research on this topic, Colleen! As you probably saw, I referenced your studies extensively in this article along with PDMJ. I was delighted to find “a peer-reviewed journal by physicians and scientists without commercial influence”—if only all scientific and medical journals were that way!
Do you practice in Oregon?
Great question. If so, Colleen, are you taking new patients? :-)
Thank you both for asking. I am licensed only in Arizona, but people have come to my clinic from all over the US and 3 continents.
Oh shoot, but good to know for any Arizonians out there.
I hope you get a response. My recent emails to NYU- president, trustees, medical director and influential others on the insanity of mandating boosters for students- many of whom were documented as having been infected and recovered from both delta and omnicon cvd by their student medical department went unanswered. Dropped into the abyss. I'm not a student- but it's personal. The same with my demands for Marin County's "public health" department to produce the evidence for their "guidelines" early on I am working on a two minute (that's the limit for public comment at zoomed county supervisor meetings) demand to have them conduct a retrospective analysis of the harm/benefits of their policies of the last two years. I may link to your mask data in my accompanying email. Thanks.
Thank you for trying, Stephen! You never know what will have an impact, either now or eventually.
Have you connected with Mark Crispin Miller (https://markcrispinmiller.substack.com/)? No doubt you’re familiar with his battles and his recent victory (https://tessa.substack.com/p/mark-crispin-miller-nyu-review) against NYU and those who slandered him.
Thanks for continuing to fight the good fight, Stephen!
thank you for this referral. I was not aware of it, but will support him in any way I can. I agree that we can't know what impact we may have, but no response is the typical result of individual efforts to educate officials with no desire to be drawn out. Creative and leveraged acts of resistance like ACT-Up used are powerful forces for creating publicity if not agreement. Of course they were playing into Pharma's hands, so it will be far more difficult to undermine their fortress.
Mark is a good ally to have on our side. He *literally* wrote the introduction to “Propaganda” (https://www.audible.com/pd/Propaganda-Audiobook/B0741R8RD8), so he’s been analyzing this topic for a long time and thus has posed a particular threat over the past two years. So much so that NYU prohibited him from teaching his incredibly popular course on propaganda after a 20-year run. That’s not suspicious or anything ;-)
Thank you for rational thinking. It's been difficult over these last 2 years to witness the complete and utter trashing of rational thinking....ethical behaviour and moral compasses. 70 percent of the people I know are either completely insane or apathetic. 30 percent are insane, 40 are apathetic. One can only hope that we can wake the apathetic eventually.
So true, Ian, and I agree the loss of rationality, reason, logic, and critical thinking faculties has been one of the most distressing aspects of this mass hypnosis campaign. I, too, am trying to reach the middle 40% swing thinkers and do believe they are starting to awaken the more the narrative undeniably crumbles and reality comes crashing in on their illusion.
Those things, rationality, reason, etc. were educated out of the public decades ago. We are now reaping the fruits of this effort. For a fascinating account of some of the ways science has been damaged or destroyed, and rationality subverted, read the words of the brilliant Michael Crichton, delivered in this speech almost 20 years ago. The world lost a lot when he died way too young. https://stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Publications/PDF_Papers/Crichton2003.pdf
You are so right, hoppah, and tragically so.
Thank you for sharing the Michael Crichton speech—it certainly looks intriguing!
If you’re not familiar with his activism, you’re going to be very pleasantly surprised. He had a very strong and relentlessly rational mind.
I’m not, and no doubt I will be pleasantly surprised! Thanks for the rec, hoppah.
What an awesome and prescient article. How often have we heard ''trust the science,'' etc over the last 2 years? Scientists like Fauci or the clowns on CNN!
Thank you, serafino, and so deadly true!
I'm heartened by that boy, he's fierce resistor. More power to him.
Indeed! A little freedom-fighter in the making 💪
Jezebel Spirits Thrive When There Is No One Willing To Stand - Face Masks: The Flag Of Ahab & Jezebel, Their Modern Day Heritage, & Their Dynasty.
One reason that face masks are so important is that they push the boundaries on acceptable behavior and permissible oppression. They train those who wear them for further oppression. They also signal to oppressors that those who wear them are ready for further oppression.
A host of other sociological activities take place that I will not now get into, but which I write at length about in my books Face Masks Hurt Kids and Face Masks in One Lesson. This is to say that a face mask is much more than a face mask. It is much more than an attempt to stop the spread of a disease. The disease prevention claim, by the way, has been unequivocally disproven at this point.
Face masks, in fact, hurt you. Face masks are harmful both for those who wear them and those who allow them worn around themselves. The Jezebel spirit wants you to mask up, wants you to take the shot, wants you to comply to much worse. The Jezebel spirit wants no boundaries on anything as she says “just this one last thing,” and never stops coming up with that one last thing, because she never meets resistance. Jezebel spirits thrive in our era. That is precisely because Ahab spirits thrive in our era.
Face masks are harmful to humans. “Face Masks Hurts Kids” is a 500-page book that digs into the science of that topic. It is currently available at a reduced friends and family price through all major book retailers during the soft launch period. “Face Masks in One Lesson” is a book on how to never wear a mask again.

You are so right about masks serving as part of an obedience training course, Rick!
Great to know about your books and happy to see Lew Rockwell pick up your piece! I do love Lew.
thank you but this is an article from Allan Stevo that was posted on Rockwell..
Oh whoops, thanks for clarifying, Rick!
What a fantastic article. Thank you Margaret Anna! You are a beautiful human being.
Thank you, dear Tessa! I don’t know if you noticed, but I linked to that fabulous “Sydney Morning Herald” gem you shared at your blog a while back—great find!
I noticed, it's great you linked to it, it is such a gem of a news story in the light of... you know...
An accurate and insightful article! I'm sending this out to friends. Can people from other states comment?
Thank you, Zana, and it doesn’t hurt! The more the merrier :-)
Wonderful and thanks a bunch, Matt!
Are you a part of freeoregon.us ?
Permanent? Like, FOREVER?! What would be the justification - y'all ugly?!
*lol* I guess the ones wanting to enact this are 😆
See this link for more details on what’s meant by “permanent”:
https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORLEG/bulletins/305bc08
Sounds pretty permanent to me. Run amok. Oregonians on board?
That’s a BIG NO!
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/oregon/articles/2022-01-20/oregon-residents-decry-proposed-permanent-mask-mandate
A tea party then?
😆🍵 A Salem Tea Party!
Don't know many people from Oregon, but the ones I do know....affirmative! They be U.G.L.Y.!
*lol* Only the Portlandians! 😂
LOL! Wow!
Thoughtful and Awesome Margaretannaalice!! 🙏
Thanks so much, Brandon is not your Bro!
Another great post in the "Letters to" series! I have family in Oregon and I'm not sure they won't end up masking for generations there. The insanity in Oregon is, well, insane! Heck, even in most Islamic countries they don't start forcing the Hijab on girls until the age of 12 or so. I still think *forced* masking was the most dehumanizing and evil thing done to a population in world history. I *refuse* the mask and I will not go *anywhere* that requires them. I won't watch a show that has them, I won't watch news where people are wearing them, I won't even talk to someone wearing the diaper if they are doing it for "virtue". I *refuse* all parts of this agenda and have done so since the beginning. (Imagine if we *all* would have just said no) No mask. No testing for something that I don't have symptoms for. No distancing. No locking me down. No "mandated" shots. No. No. No. Say no and walk away. Don't argue, don't fight. Just say no and find another way to accomplish what you wanted to do, or be willing to do without. Sorry to simplify it, but it truly is that simple.
Well-put regarding the insanity in Oregon being insane! 😆 Fortunately, I live in the saner part, but unfortunately, Portland thinks it’s Oregon, and so does everyone outside of Oregon ;-) Kate Brownshirt has gotten drunk on power and doesn’t show any signs of letting up.
I’ve heard about people protesting the mask, but not watching a show that has them takes it to a whole new level—astutely so as it is clearly propaganda if they’re sporting muzzles! 😹
And YES to saying NO!! That is the core message of my second essay (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/covid-is-over-if-you-want-it).
I agree—it really is that simple. Sadly, most people are too cowardly to summon the courage to defy the pressure to conform to the societal mores conditioning us to obey authority.
Yes but you can ease in gently. Go into a store with a mask in your pocket, talking to your child or on your phone, if pressed and a non-confrontational person, tell yourself that if someone calls you out, you’ll put it on. Prepare to be amazed, most wont. You can get braver and braver until eventually someone asks you to wear a mask and you can laugh and walk out, deciding never to shop there again.
Thanks for the savvy advice, FedUpInOR!
