State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Do You? Trust?

Lately this loss of trust has had me thinking about the American Wild West. Not the Hollywood version—the real one.

Back then, almost every man who wanted to stay alive carried a revolver on his hip. It wasn’t for show. You never knew when some mean-eyed bastard might decide your horse, your money, or your life was worth more to him than it was to you.

The sensible ones stayed ready. They watched people. They didn’t assume good intentions just because someone smiled and said howdy. Trust was something you earned slowly, usually after a man had proven he wouldn’t sell you out the first time it became convenient.

I keep coming back to that because it feels uncomfortably close to where we are now. The difference is the wolves don’t need to hide behind a bandana anymore. They wear white coats, or sit in glass offices, or smile at you from a television screen while they tell you what you need to do for your own good.

And the sheep-types? They didn’t just follow along during Covid. A lot of them became enthusiastic enforcers.

The masked Karens. The vaccine passport enthusiasts. The ones who genuinely seemed to enjoy punishing others for non-compliance. I saw longtime friends and even family members do things I would have sworn they were incapable of. And they did it without a second thought. That’s what really got to me—not the betrayal itself, but how easily it came to them. How little it seemed to cost them.

Read the entire post at Zerohedge …

Roth Note: I’m sure we all have stories about Covid and the reaction to it from the sheep. I have to assume that most, if not all, of the readers, here, are not sheep. So my questions of the day? Did someone close to you ‘sell you out,’ so-to-say, during the scamdemic? Has your trust in humanity risen or fallen since? And … What does the reader require in order to trust someone else?

    My immediate family did not fall for the scam. Almost my entire extended family did.

    I bet if you go out into the public square, or talk to coworkers you will find that 90% are still deaf dumb and blind about the real state of affairs.

    So no, I do not trust anyone outside my immediate family and a small circle of trusted, vetted friends. And I carry everywhere.

    I was not personally sold out/compromised by anyone directly known to me, but, as a practicing physician, I immediately noted alarming discrepancies in what health officials were saying & doing in response to the contagion maps of viral incidence that we were seeing coming out of Wuhan, China.

    The entire FedGov and corporate-owned & managed HealthCare system in the U.S. failed us–miserably [Grade: “F”].
    I noted, at the outset, that officials of the FDA, the CDC and virtually ALL of our medical associations were in lock-step with draconian, hastily thrown-together policies that collectively proved to me that these physicians & officials had either forgotten all of “Immunology 101” and “Epidemiology 101” from medical school or had never learned those First Principles, faking their way thru med school:

    Q: “What do we call the guy who graduates dead last at Medical School graduation?”
    A: “Doctor.”

    By March of 2020 I had already noted, on page one/paragraph one (of the FDA’s own .gov website) that an “Emergency Use Authorization” could not be granted if there was an available treatment for the particular infectious disease in question. In short, the FDA had to eliminate the [embarrassing] existence of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

    Who can forget their snarky & contemptible ad campaign (using taxpayer dollars): “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” *

    I observed in openmouthed horror as my own Board of OB/GYN officially promoted a hastily created and thoroughly untested “vaccine” for pregnant women and for women planning for pregnancy.

    How can a substance be deemed “safe and effective” (especially for fetuses) when it had never been subjected to any long-term studies?

    Correct! It cannot.

    Yet, even today, in the face of an avalanche of data documenting morbidity & mortality attributable to “The Jab,” ACOG continues to recommend that the COVID “vaccine” be offered by its physicians to their patients as part of a “Best Practices” protocol.

    Abomination!

    So, yes, I feel “sold-out” by my own medical organizations and hospitals (and, don’t even get me started re: the debacle of the mistreatment & wholesale deaths of patients in U.S. hospitals at the hands of Remdesivir and the PSYCHOPATHS who implemented these treatment plans), so much so that I will never enter a hospital again unless I am dragged there, unconscious, for emergency care.

    * FDA’s Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook posts from August 21, 2021 (ECF No. 12, Exs. 4, 5), that read, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”

      >>>” …I immediately noted alarming discrepancies in what health officials were saying & doing in response to the contagion maps of viral incidence that we were seeing coming out of Wuhan, China.”

      What I recall seeing was a massive PRC state orchestrated psyop that involved multiple videos of dozens of Chinese people twitching in the streets like nerve gas victims. I recall stories about whole apartment buildings there locked down, and the doors welded shut and more video of crop duster trucks spraying white clouds of God knows what in Chinese streets. This was very early in 2020 before it really arrived here, and it has to rank among the greatest of criminal campaigns in history. I used to recon by automobile the parking lots of many major hospitals near me in at the height of it. I was looking for the overflow lines and patients being treated outside in tents as was common in the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. There was none of that, just videos on social media of dancing nurses in masks and scrubs pandering for likes.

      >>>”…don’t even get me started re: the debacle of the mistreatment & wholesale deaths of patients in U.S. hospitals at the hands of Remdesivir and the PSYCHOPATHS who implemented these treatment plans.”

      I had the misfortune of knowing someone murdered in hospital by Remdesivir. I spoke on the phone to his wife for a couple of hours before he died and she had reached out to me for my views on what she might do to save him. She was generally in agreement about the whole epidemic and vaxx, So I was one of the very few she could consult with who would not tell her to “trust the science”. All I could say was that if It were me, I would go in and take my spouse out by any force required, but I could not advise the same for her as she was a gentle older woman. The best remaining plan seemed to be to provide the doctor with a written demand to cease treatment with Remdesivir, but her husband was already in his last hours.

      I don’t trust them at all now either. The cancer and heart problem rate among people I know who took the jabs is off the charts. One of them asked her doctor why cancer is suddenly so prevalent, and the doc said she had no idea, though she agreed that the rates have seen explosive increases since 2021. It is standing room only in the waiting room at Boston’s World famous Dana Faber cancer clinic, though they are very efficient and keep patients cycling through. I asked this person why she could not make the obvious connection to a certain major event in 2021 that would probably explain it and she had no idea. I had to spell it out for her to her horror, and she dismissed it out of hand. Psyops work, that is why they do them all the time.

        “One of them asked her doctor why cancer is suddenly so prevalent, and the doc said she had no idea,..”

        It is called “Baffle Syndrome,” funny, but not so funny! I constantly read stories wherein some luckless 20-something athlete crashes on a playing field, requiring CPR, etc.

        Nobody wishes to connect the dots.

          It is a fascinating question though. I wonder what the percentage is of medical professionals who know or at least strongly suspect the truth. Even in our age of declining competence across all professions, it seems improbable that so few cannot discern the obvious and seemingly have no intellectual or professional curiosity about it. The near total code of silence suggests they are fully aware and dare not breathe a word of it.

    Hardlook covered the medical side very well.

    The silver lining in the COVID scamdemic is I (hopefully most of us) got a eye full of how many people will slurp up Gov.com propaganda and turn on folks that didn’t.

    Some *still *wear COVID masks and some *look normal *.

    They will betray you if propaganda calls you a terrorist.

    Thus my often repeated trusted friends and trusted family will get you through tough times.

    I remember having seen the videos of people in China falling over (dead?) and my employer handing out “traveling papers” since I’m considered “essential personnel” at my job.
    And of course, not once but twice jumped on by the covid nazis for not obeying “the rules” (I didn’t stand on the little floor stickers that said stay 6 feet apart and I got too close to the conveyor belt while going to put my groceries on it, covid Karen flipped out)
    I remember hearing “We’ll never go back to normal” but it seems there are more that think like me and you since it did go back to at least 97% normal. Hope nothing changes again and of course I’m armed everywhere I go that I can be armed at.

      Unless there’s a metal detector or strange X-ray machine, you should carry everywhere you go. Always.
      This “that I can be armed at” comment is like you’re asking for permission, outside of having paid and asked for it already.
      I’ve never understood that mentality. I’m guessing it’s a generational thought?

        Our sheriff did our Conceal Carry course. He told us to ignore the signs, that if we were properly concealed, no one would know. If we were caught, it was a simple request to leave the premises. If we wanted to be stubborn and refuse to leave, his deputies would likely be called and they’d tell us to leave the premises. If we still refused, it was a $100 fine and perhaps a trip to jail for trespassing. So … I ignore the signs.

          Yes sir! This has always been the way! Free men don’t ask permission to carry arms. Anywhere. State Lines included.
          I’m banjo rural. 30+ years. It’s second nature to carry from dawn to dusk. Always.

    There are no doctors now.

    Those who took the money to kill with remdesivir, are mercenaries. Those who didn’t, lost their licenses.

    I was a FF / Medic for 15 years, then one day I refused to take an experimental vaccine. I lost my job, almost all of my “friends “, and my career.

    I ran calls where the Wuhan flu originated in the US. I had it three times.

    We learned something else that is critically important: we now have proof positive as to how LE will react in any future pandemic/civil disturbance scenario: they will put the boot to the neck of anyone who crosses with the mandates of any administrative wannabe tyrant–mayor, clerk, governor, etc.–who will get off by exercising the raw authority of the moment.

    Look, for example, at those LEOs who arrested a lone San Diego Bay paddleboarder during the COVID lockdowns, peacefully getting sun (Vitamin D) and fresh air, bothering no other persons.
    When I saw that video I remarked to my wife that the cops had just violated the six-foot social distancing orders; after all, how do you handcuff a guy while remaining >6′ from him? Throw him the cuffs and ask him to self-apply?

    Idiocy! From the police to the local authorities to Gov. Moron, to the FedGov.

    Protect and Serve? No! Rather, Follow all Orders so as to Guarantee my Paycheck & Pension. Constitutional Rights? Huh?

    No apologies, no indictments–and no calls for indictments.

    Which is why this will happen again.

    Sooner rather than later.

      OUTSTANDING and sadly Accurate!

      And some “Constitutional Sheriffs” I’ve thought were solid also suddenly remembered their pensions during COVID and followed orders.

      Take ALL “I’m a Constitutionals Sherriff” statement as given by a politician, null and void when the chips start falling.

      Prison is a pretty poor place to be supporting your family in a real crisis.

    I learned who I could trust, and who I couldn’t during Covid. There are damned few in the trust category, but family all made the cut.

    I learned also who would stand up for Freedom and Liberty during that time, and it is damned few Americans.

    My son and daughter-in-law fell for it and my daughter-in-law has had medical issues. They are in Austin and in a hive of like minded people.

    Talked my daughter out of it. She has a good head but had a lot of pressure from her work, a children’s hospital. We actually marched on them with other like minded employees. She was granted a “religious” exemption but still got hell with required N95 masking and testing while she was pregnant. Yeah, I am still pissed.

    My wife, myself and my then 95 year old mother stayed clear and came out fine.

    No, trust has been thrown out the window. I’ve been carrying for years anyway here in Texas as the Dallas area became worse and worse for some time. This has accelerated the last 5 years… Venezuelans, Koreans, Indians, blacks and additional Hispanics have flooded in.

    We moved out to the country. 95% white, a few heritage Mexicans and the few blacks are not ghetto.

    Much better situation.

      My congrats to y’all! You successfully navigated the medical minefield that was (and is) the fUSA.

      My daughter got thru the Scamdemic with my intense urging–well, blackmail, really (I told her I’d disinherit her [and my word is my bond] if she & my granddaughters got the jab–she listened, and is now grateful).

      Though, not thrilled that she’s in a north-of-Dallas ‘burb filled with pajeets, 7th century Neanderthals and all the other detritus that has accumulated around the North Dallas Tollway, but if time permits we’ll set up a bolthole up toward Oklahoma.

      Because Winter is Coming–and Ol’ Remus did tell us to avoid the cities…..
