As the distraction of BLM\/Antifa riots and the coronovirus have consumed much attention and energy, the social engineering strategy of the World Economic Forum\u2019s Great Reset<\/a> has taken a giant step forward in establishing the mandatory face mask as a symbol of submission to their dehumanizing agenda.\u00a0 <\/span>Beyond Orwellian, the face mask is being used as a guise to reshape our perception of reality toward acceptance of a scientific dictatorship as an integral part of a looming totalitarian globalist agenda.<\/p>\n As Democratic Governors have played a leading role in advancing the myth that face masks will save lives, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced his decision on July 16th<\/sup>\u00a0 <\/span>to mandate face masks to be worn in all public places in Colorado, thus codifying a medical tyranny world-view.<\/p>\n In a July 12th<\/sup>, Facebook <\/a>page, Polis stated that \u201cThe emerging scientific data is clea<\/i>r<\/span>\u201d that wearing a mask protects others and reduces the risk of contracting Coronavirus.\u00a0 <\/span>Polis then referred to those resistant to a face mask as a \u201cselfish bastards\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n During Polis\u2019s four page Executive Order<\/a> issued on July 19th<\/sup>, there is not one mention of the \u2018emerging science<\/i>\u2019 as support for his decision to mandate face masks; nor does Polis discuss how health effects will improve with masking except as \u201cmitigating effects of the pandemic<\/i>.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>In announcing the mandate, Polis declared that \u201cWearing a mask is not a political statement. I don\u2019t know how, in anybody\u2019s mind, this became a game of political football<\/i>.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If the Governor is truly at a loss as to how masking or other lockdown requirements became a political football, he has not been paying attention.\u00a0 <\/span>Consider the following: O<\/span>n March 20th<\/sup>, California became the first state<\/a> in the country to order a Lockdown which was quickly followed by other States with Democratic Governors.\u00a0 <\/span>To date, a majority<\/a> of those Governors (21 out of 24) have all approved the mandatory wearing of face masks; albeit, without applying any science.\u00a0 <\/span>It is the arbitrary \u2018shutdown\u2019 of business as well as onerous personal requirements (such as social distancing) with a State adopting oppressive dictatorial behavior as if they have the right to make personal decisions about anyone’s life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Only four states with Republican Governors, some of which may be considered RINOs, have also adopted similar Executive Orders (Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Maryland).<\/p>\n If Covid is merely a variation of an infectious virus, sunshine and warm weather should have already limited its impact; reducing its spread and exposure.\u00a0 <\/span>Instead, as Red States attempt to reopen\u00a0 <\/span>(i.e. Texas and Florida), sudden intense CV \u2018hot spots\u2019 flare which forces the State to delay and increase its shut down requirements.\u00a0 <\/span>Given an advanced radio frequency weapon<\/a> ability, those \u2018hot spots\u2019 may have been generated by 5G at the millimeter level on the electro magnetic Spectrum.<\/p>\n If, in fact, science is not the prime reason for mandatory face masks; that is, if face masks do not provide safety from contagion, then why mandate face masks at all?\u00a0 <\/span>What other purpose does a face mask have but to protect the wearer or to inhibit spreading the virus?\u00a0 <\/span>Without evidence that masks have positively reduced exposures and thereby fatalities, then the true purpose of the mandate becomes a more nefarious partisan gesture of psychological manipulation and\/or political control<\/span>.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On April 1st<\/sup>, <\/span>the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine<\/a> published its Universal Masking Report including the following highlights:<\/p>\n *\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWe know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities <\/i>offers little, if any, protection from infection<\/i><\/span>.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n *\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThe chance of catching Covid-19 from a <\/i>passing interaction in a public space is therefore minima<\/i><\/span>l<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n *\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIn many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a <\/i>reflexive reaction to anxiety<\/i><\/span> over the pandemic.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n *\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThe extent of marginal benefit of universal masking over and above these foundational measures is debatable.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n *\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWhat is clear, however, is that <\/i>universal masking alone is not a panacea<\/i><\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n *\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIt is also clear that masks serve <\/i>symbolic role<\/i><\/span>s. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that <\/i>may help increase<\/i><\/span> health care workers\u2019 perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals. Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, <\/i>we are all subject to fear and anxie<\/i><\/span>ty, especially during times of crisis. <\/i> One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask <\/i>\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n No Scientific Support for Mask Wearing<\/span><\/p>\n Famed osteopathic physician Dr. Joseph Mercola<\/a> has recently reversed his earlier support of face masks and interviewed<\/a>\u00a0Dr. Denis Rancourt, PhD who examined the issue on behalf of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association.\u00a0 <\/span>Rancourt conducted extensive research with an emphasis on masks and did a thorough review of science literature concentrating on whether any evidence exists that masks can reduce infection risk of viral respiratory disease.\u00a0 <\/span>As a result of examining many controlled trials with verified outcomes, he found no statistical advantage<\/span><\/a> to wearing and that masks do no inhibit viral spread. <\/span><\/p>\n Rancourt asserted that \u201cthere is no evidence that masks are of any utility for preventing infection by either stopping the aerosol particles from coming out, or from going in. <\/span>You’re not helping the people around you by wearing a mask, and you’re not helping yourself avoid the disease by wearing a mask.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>In addition, Rancourt explained that \u201cInfectious viral respiratory diseases primarily spread via very fine aerosol particles that are in suspension in the air<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>Any mask that allows you to breathe therefore allows for transmission of aerosolized viruses<\/span>\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n In conclusion, Rancourt stated \u201cwe\u2019re in a state right now where the society is very gradually evolving towards totalitarianism<\/span>. \u00a0 <\/span>As soon as you agree with an irrational order, an irrational command that is not science-based, then you are doing nothing to bring back society towards the free and democratic society that we should have\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n While the ACLU remains absent, OCLA (Ontario Civil Liberties Association) recommends Civil Disobedience<\/a> against Mandatory Mask Laws.\u00a0 <\/span>If you are not comfortable with civil disobedience and your local food markets all require a face mask, don\u2019t deny yourself the healthy food you and your family need \u2013 but DO find ways to register your dissent against being forced to wear a face mask.\u00a0 <\/span>Write a Letter to the Editor and contact all of your elected political leaders.\u00a0 <\/span>Be sure they understand your objections that you will not comply<\/span> with their unconstitutional and immoral behavior. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Renee Parsons<\/i>\u00a0served on the ACLU\u2019s Florida State Board of Directors and as president of the ACLU Treasure Coast Chapter.
