Just Get On The Train

BY Herschel Smith

John Guandolo.

In the last week I have seen videos online, interviews on television, and personally experienced on numerous occasions people explaining to me that I must wear a mask “because it’s the rule/mandate/law.”

As we wrote about HERE, in America we are supposed to govern as a REPUBLIC, which means the majority rules while minority rights are respected. In order to do this, there must be a moral standard.

Only just laws can be legislated. No law can be legislated which violates the moral standard of “the Law of Nature and of Nature’s God” legally defined at the time of the founding as “the will of God” and “Holy Scripture.”

Therefore, telling someone they must do something immoral/unjust – something that harms them or infringes on their unalienable rights – per the moral standard “because it’s the law” or because “I’m just following orders” makes one no better than a Nazi gate guard.

I spent ten (10) years as an Advanced Capability Medic in the FBI, and a few years as an EMT prior to that in and out of the Marine Corps. I spent a lot of time in hospitals, on flight/trauma teams, and treated many patients in the U.S. and overseas, worked in surgery, and taught combat medical skills courses in the FBI.

Masks and other protective gear (e.g. glasses) are meant to protect the wearer from blood, vomitus, and other bodily fluids of the patients. Store bought surgical masks are not meant for preventing influenza virus from passing through them. Just read the box.

The cloth masks people are buying with funny pictures and sayings on them or the bandanas are even more useless. Like throwing sand through a chain-link fence, these masks do not stop the covid virus from passing through.

To say masks stop the spread of Covid-19 is a lie, and everyone with the capacity to process information knows it. See Dr. Fauci say it HERE.

The lockdowns and mask mandates are tools of oppression used by totalitarian statists to subdue the population. It appears to be working.

In the past week, I have taken the time to speak with several people who insist I wear a mask. From the grocery store manager, to the manager of a high-end Dallas restaurant, to the usher at church, to the TSA officer, they all say the same thing.

“It’s a rule.”

“It’s a mandate.”

“It’s church policy.”

After relating a recent experience with the TSA, John succinctly sums up America at the moment.

“Stop being a troublemaker.”  “Just get on the train.”

    So, like, historic!
    The face panty will keep you safe until mommygov can print up enough money to buy everyone a protective bubble and cone.
    Also there will be a war declared on mortality in the interests of the people’s unity.

    It’s actually all quite sad. We see folks around here driving in cars with masks on. When asked why, the simply respond, “Because it’s everywhere, floating around in the air.”

    Not exactly the spirit of the founders, eh?

    I should add, “It is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27.

    It pays to be a Calvinist. I will not perish one nanosecond before it is my time, nor will I live one nanosecond longer than ordained.

    The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those they oppress.

    Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom; it is the argument of tyrants and the creed of slaves.

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and thus clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of imaginary hobgoblins.

    Remember the above, for any opportunity when confronted by “it’s the law” azzoles

    I won’t/don’t wear a mask because the nanny state might tell me to. I wear a mask because their is a virus out there and a mask may just stop the one or two particles that may infect me. If I get infected, my wife gets infected. And that I will not facilitate.

    With all due respect, Herschel, do you really think you can stay out of politics?
    You have been a voice of reason for many, and I hope you continue!

    Here in Winterfell, the newly-elected Kootenai County Sheriff made it a point of telling all of the Karens, Beta-Male Cucks, Biden-worshippers, and others he and his staff are NOT the mask police and WILL NOT enforce any mask mandates coming out of the feminized Panhandle Health District. Good news.

    Hell, even the Soviet Monica Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti won’t enforce it, unless you’re doing something else to force them to get involved.

    I think I can speak for the largest standing army on the planet. It’ll be below zero in the infernal regions before we surrender our guns. Brennan, if you’re listening…you’re gonna have to earn this one the hard way, you traitor bastard.

    The cited interview with Fauci was March 2020. The tyrants are flailing their arms & gnashing their teeth that it’s being shared out of context.

    Horsehockey! All you science worshippers please tell me WHAT CHANGED about the science of what he said? Anyone? Bueller?

    NB: I differentiate “science worshippers” – yes, used as a pejorative – and their sycophants from those in many disciplines who are actually scientists and adherents to the scientific method. We need the latter; the former could just please walk out on the ice and be a burden to the village no more.

    Dweez,
    Fremont County Wyoming Sheriff said same thing, however, the proles think they’re above that. Every time I go to PO or store, the Karens give me the stink eye, man are they vicious behind their masks.
    And for all of you petrified of the Fauci flu, take a dose of Ivermectin, you’ll feel much better for it. Africa has almost zero flu, they can afford a $2 tube of Ivermectin.

    I just wrote a similar comment about masks at WJ. We all have a long road ahead of us, but we are still dealing w/the silly mask people. We can’t give up and it is getting soooo frustrating. God, PLEASE help us to continue the fight.

    The masks are a control ritual. Those who engage in this ritual demonstrate they are not likely to defend freedom as the mask is an indication of submission and compliance. Freedoms are not won by way of submission and compliance.

    How are they going to defend freedom when they are being led around by the nose with fear and coercion. If they can’t defend NOT wearing a mask then they aren’t likely to defend freedom in any capacity.

    Not to mention how ridiculous and stupid looking the masks are.

    From “only two weeks to flatten the curve” to “the great reset” now…wake up folks.

    Looks more like a planned and coordinated attack against the American people by those within.

    @ John Freeman

    Re: “From ‘only two weeks to flatten the curve’ to ‘the great reset’ now…wake up folks. Looks more like a planned and coordinated attack against the American people by those within.”

    Some years ago, Warren Buffett was being interviewed and he stated, “People like me are at war with people like you, and our side is winning…” In other words, the billionaire oligarchs and their kind are at war with everyday people, and they are winning. Buffett went on to brag in the same interview that he paid less in taxes than his receptionist.

    You are correct: This is an attack, an act of war – and the fact that many people do not yet see it as such has no bearing whatsoever upon its existence.

    Masking was a mechanism of control and coercion used by the communists in their POW camps during the Korean War. This is known because of testimony by survivors released at the cease-fire in 1953, and also because of official investigations such as the 1972 report of the U.S. Senate’s Eastland Sub-Committee, led by Senator James O. Eastman of Mississippi.

    During that conflict, the Communist Chinese and their North Korean allies used a variety of psychological warfare methods, brain-washing, psychological and physical torture, and the like. Such methods were devised to break down the psychological resistance of the individual, as well as weaken group cohesion and esprit de corps. By making each individual POW feel isolated and alone, it was hoped that more could be turned or made to be compliant with their captor’s requests for information and cooperation.

    On the basis of those data, and the methods being used in the present day, it appears that the Red Chinese are again involved, this time perhaps in cooperation with the globalist oligarchs.

    Most of you folks need to look up what a Bolshevik is, where it came from and figure out who’s been running this country for the last 100+ years (banks, media, Hollywood, etc) . And it ain’t the Chinese.
    The masses chase the exact squirrels the media tells them to chase, ever hear of distraction and dis-information before??? Or using your own brain, not the one the media assigned you.

    John Guandolo’s heart seems to be in the right place. He’s done a lot of good to help wake up a lot of people for quite some time now.

    On the other hand I don’t think Mr. Guandolo understands that law enforcement is not going to be on the people’s side nor is the fbi, dhs as brennan and his comrades in tge cia are working overtime to establish that and anyone not privy to a globalst takeover of the USA from the inside out and Trump supporters are domestic terrorists.

    Most law enforcement jobs are performance-based and that means law enforcement is going to do whatever they want in order to maintain that big fat salary and pension plan. Those who don’t go along with the New World Order agenda will simply be replaced by people who will follow orders that’s so called law enforcement, that is the current state of affairs in the United States of America today. Constitutional government and freedom will take a back seat totalitarian style of governing the cops do not give to schitts about the people folks. They care about the money the salaries and the pensions and the big fat dental plan.

    There is a reason why the American Founders did not establish all the standing army bureaucracies because they understood they would become corrupt and a menace and used as weapons against the people and the well being of society.

    To put it succinctly, this mask fraud is intended to produce the following:

    1. Anonymity – the beginning of the road to the removal of personality

    2. Alienation – combined with “social distancing,” this places us at further remove from each other. Yet another wedge.

    3. Submission – Basically, it conditions us to unquestioningly accept and submit to bullshit.

    4. Degradation – Erosion of the spirit and the abnegation of personality.

    5. Humiliation – Another facet of the degradation of personality.

    It’s important to remember that Marxists and their ilk regard human beings as things, animals or machines. Fungible. Disposable. Love of ‘humanity’ in the abstract and hatred of the individual in general is one of their distinguishing memes.

    That kind of thinking combined with an insatiable need to control mankind is all that’s needed to set the stage for the free reign of the murderous psychosis that’s haunted the killing fields of the last century. Like Banquo’s ghost, it’s still with us. It’s what animates the current occupants of the White House today.
