I stopped by a local 7-Eleven here in Alexandria, Virginia yesterday afternoon to get some coffee and exchange dollars for quarters so I could put air in my tires. By default, I wear face masks when I go shopping or when I’m indoors in public settings. I do this even though in the back of my mind I am not sure how effective most of these masks are in preventing people from contracting or transmitting Covid-19. But after losing my mom last year to the dreaded virus and spending time in New York City when the pandemic was initially declared, I decided a long time ago to play it safe given that masking is a minor inconvenience.

However, yesterday was a different story. After I parked my car in the 7-Eleven parking lot, I looked down to search for my mask only to realize that I did not have one inside my car like I usually do. At that exact moment, I looked up and saw two gentlemen walking inside sans masks so I decided to follow suit in order to quickly get my items and head back home. When I stepped up to the checkout, the cashier asked me if I was “vaccinated”. Stunned at his question, I responded by telling him that I will not divulge my private medical records to friends and extended family members let alone a complete stranger.

Undeterred, he asked me again by noting that I did not have a mask on. I reverted to a tactic used by Naomi Wolf to respond to a jackass who was asking people about their “vaccination” status on Twitter by asking the cashier if he took Viagra. Of course he refused to answer and said that was none of my business, at which point I responded “exactly”. So caught up in policing behaviors and trying to bully others into compliance, he did not realize his own hypocrisy. To my surprise, even the people behind me with masks on were backing me up; I don’t think most of us—outside of the most zealous “vaccine” enthusiasts—endorse the idea of compelling people to reveal their health status.

This guy though, he was like a pit bull latching on to a bone; he would not let the issue go and insisted in asking me a third time. When I refused to answer, he denied me service until the manager stepped in and rang me up. When I asked her if what the cashier stated was 7-Eleven’s official position, she demurred and I told her that I was a journalist and would follow up with her company. Shortly after leaving the store, I tweeted about my experience and tagged 7-Eleven, it’s been close to 24 hours and they have yet to respond.

This scenario is not an outlier, it is becoming a norm as more and more people start to forgo masks in response to the CDC’s latest guidelines that “allows” people to breathe naturally without laboring to inhale through face coverings as long as they are “vaccinated”. This policy will only lead to chaos, as evidenced by what I experienced yesterday, because it is impossible to figure out who jabbed apart from people who are not. There is a significant percentage of Americans who were defying the mask mandates already, a subject which became a point of political contention; now that there are two sets of rules—one for the injected and another for people who refuse to participate in ongoing clinical trials—the social strife that is proliferating throughout every city and state will only intensify.

Anthony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky and the leadership at the NIH and the CDC are not dumb, to the contrary they are very educated and most are brilliant in their respective field. So their abrupt U-turn on masks cannot be chalked up to imbecility; the only way to make sense of their decision is to see it through the lens of Winston Churchill who once said “never let a crisis go to waste”. I believe that they are encouraging “vaccinated” people to take off their masks in most settings to induce a crisis so they can step in and resolve the problem they created. This is what public serpents drunk on power do; they gaslight and virtue signal as they emotionally manipulate the masses in order to arrive at their preferred outcomes.

What Bill Gates and his minions in government and mainstream media desire is a national “vaccine” passport; they want to revive the ugly legacies of segregation and the yellow armbands that Jews were forced to wear in Germany by having a society of injected or unequal. When they floated this idea a couple of months ago, it was met with an uproar as most Americans realized what “asking papers” could lead to. Joe Biden backtracked from this idea and left it up to states and businesses to figure out how to force people to get “vaccinated” and how people can prove that they have been jabbed. The US government, in essence, reverted to the position of bigots like George Wallace by endorsing “states’ rights” and allowing local governments and corporations alike to discriminate as they desire.

This hands off approach of enforcing “vaccinations” and verifications will lead to pandemonium. We already have families turning on each other and communities being torn apart over these experimental “vaccines”, the mask mandates will only pour fuel on that fire. But that is how the establishment want it; by inducing discord, they can step into the vacuum and offer a solution that they coveted from the outset. The same people that lied to us about WMDs in Iraq in order to commit a genocide are now denying the existence of a Weapon of Mass Destruction by the name of mRNA and using the same playbook of fear to obligate Americans to self-harm.

Knock, knock my fellow Americans, wake up before we find out what the Germans realized once it was too late. Tyranny never arrives overnight, especially in the west where bombs and bullets cannot be used liberally to subjugate civilians. To the contrary, despotism has a gestation period; it grows incrementally in the womb of paternalism until it is birthed by a public crisis. Reasonable people can disagree on the merits of the “vaccines”; I will no longer impugn the character of folks who choose to get jabbed. However, forcing people to get injected against their will and ostracizing them if they choose to do otherwise is tyranny that will blow up in everyone’s faces.

We have endured more than a year of impositions already as draconian measures like lockdowns and codified social isolation mandates stripped us of our rights and normalized loneliness. People like me who have been writing about the lack of long-term studies that prove the safety and efficacy of these experimental “vaccines” have been treated like lepers during the time of Jesus. I’ve had my Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and LinkedIn accounts all deleted in the span of two months for having the audacity to question powerful people. What was done to the carnival barker Alex Jones is now being committed against anyone who dares to diverge from mainstream media narratives that promote biotech corporations and suppress valid concerns that millions of people have.

The same powers we give to governments to marginalize “undesirables” and exclude people from societal engagement will one day be used against all. ” First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” Reflect on these words from Martin Niemoller, first they will come after the unjabbed, they will eventually come for the rest.
