One-payer Healthcare, Masks...

Always an interesting morning read, C&C is particularly interesting today.

"...The market for speculation over Thompson’s assassin’s motive has been completely saturated. So I’ll leave it alone. If you want, you can find plenty more of that on X.

I am more interested in the insanely ironic pandemic connection, which doesn’t even need speculation.

💉 I’m not referring to UnitedHealthcare’s controversial “vaccinate or terminate” mandate, which was one of the earliest, requiring employees to be “fully vaccinated” no later than November 30th, 2021. I’m not talking about United’s horrible policy of denying religious exemptions and firing religious employees whose consciences stopped them getting the shots:

I’m not talking about allegations of how United helped the CDC disguise the vaccine injury data or routinely mislabel vaccinated folks as unvaccinated whenever they died post-jab. Nor even United’s grotesque cooperation with the federal government to help push vaccine mandates down the chain, or its offering incentives for jab-pushing doctors to coerce patients into take unsafe and ineffective shots.

(Side note: Playing Devil’s Advocate, as the largest Medicare provider in America, United never had a chance to resist federal mandate pressure. Most of its profits depend on the day-to-day whims of the federal government and its permanent bureaucrats, so the feds hold the insurance giant by the delicate parts. United must do whatever it is told without asking questions. And that is a big part of our problem. The government is too powerful; it should never be allowed to influence health policy through insurance programs, even a little. Never ever.)

So … if I’m not talking about United’s deplorable participation in mandates and jab incentives and cooking the covid books, to what part of the pandemic am I connecting Bill Thompson’s assassination?

Masks.

😷 I filed my first mask case in May, 2020. I immediately appealed the denial of my request for an emergency injunction against the county. On June 29th, 2020, I filed my initial appellate brief. Here’s a link to it if you’re interested in seeing what my legal work product looks like (I think it’s a good read and of course, it worked). On page 31, I began discussing how masks literally conceal criminal activity. This isn’t a new idea. I cited a Georgia Supreme Court case from 35 years ago:

There you have it. In 1990, Georgia’s Supreme Court said masks conceal evidence, hinder apprehension, and calm the criminal. And that masks have been the criminal’s dress since the beginning of time. Pre-pandemic, public masking was outlawed in many states, and in even more, committing a crime wearing a mask carried higher jail sentences.

You can forget about all that now. Masking has been normalized. Worse, it’s been fraudulently transformed into some kind of public good. A not insubstantial segment of the population will throw an adult temper tantrum if not permitted to mask at all times. You can thank the CDC.

In my appeal brief, I also reminded the Court of Appeals of dozens of recent news articles about the rash of masked crime ever since covid masking became commonplace. Here are just the first few artic...

It is pathetic when you have 5 running for mayor and 24 for city Councillor and you can't come up with 8 you would vote for for Councillor. I pass by if they are a civil servant or don't know the responsibility of the different levels of government. This is Red Deer. I have been waffling on Mayor but have finally made up my mind. Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.

Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.

Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.

Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.

But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.

We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
