Apologies ... but I just can't take authority, even when coated with chocolate (which I luv) ...

Yes ... I am painfully aware that there's a monstrous virus killing off thousands of people all over the world, but more so of late in Italy, Spain, USA and Iran...  but like the story of the scorpion and the frog, where the scorpion's excuse. for stinging the frog and thus drowning both, is: "I am so sorry, it's in my nature" 

Same with me when it comes to authority: 
"I am so sorry, it's my nature to forever be against authority...I simply can't help it."

Sooo... in that vein I present here some who also can't take authority and believe 100% in total freedom of thought and movement.

Disclosure:  I am still going out every 3 or 4 days, but have started wearing a mask and gloves, (I avoid eye contact... out of something ... shame? hypocrisy? fear?  ...  can't put my finger on it) and "social distance" with the exception of fam, like ordered by the authorities.


 
Below is link to James Corbett's website and his numerous vids and articles on how those who rule over us can't be trusted.  It's a MUST VISIT as you will get a whole slew of more information from the commentators to his items.

IMO, I think most folks are of the opinion that if people have attained those high positions of authority, they must be intellectual giants...but that's often not the case and these people have got to where they are either because of their oratory skills or with the backing of plenty of money.  They can as easily be deceived as those they deceive (the public at large), either believing "their" deceivers or knowingly being source deceivers themselves.
At these strange times, what's one to think???

Wake Up! Your Fears Are Being Manipulated

I’m not worried about the guy coughing next to me. I’m worried about the ones who seem to be looking for Jim Jones.
Jones was the charismatic founder of the cult-like People’s Temple. Through fear-based control, he took his followers’ money and ran their lives. He isolated them in Guyana where he convinced over 900 of them to commit suicide by drinking cyanide-laced grape Kool Aid. Frightened people can be made to do anything. They just need a Jim Jones.

So it is more than a little scary that media zampolit Rick Wilson wrote to his 753,000 Twitter followers: “People who sank into their fear of Trump, who defended every outrage, who put him before what they knew was right, and pretended this chaos and corruption was a glorious new age will pay a terrible price. They deserve it.” The tweet was liked over 82,000 times.

The New York Times claims that “the specter of death speeds across the globe, ‘Appointment in Samara’-style, ever faster, culling the most vulnerable.” Others are claiming Trump will cancel the election to rule as a Jim Jones. “Every viewer who trusts the words of Earhardt or Hannity or Regan could well become a walking, breathing, droplet-spewing threat to the public,” opined the Washington Post. Drink the damn Kool Aid and join in the panic en route to Guyana...............

Why I Oppose the Lockdown

Although it was nearly twenty years ago, I can remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I remember the shock of hearing about the planes crashing into towers, at first believing it was a tragic accident and quickly learning it to be otherwise. I remember being told that 19 hijackers, part of a fundamentalist plot to destroy America, were behind the attacks and that the mastermind was a man in a cave in Afghanistan named Osama bin Laden.
As all of America was glued to their television screens, many rushed out to give blood in an effort to at least do something to help one another. George W. Bush’s answer for Americans was to go to work and then go out and shop. Americans dutifully complied. But the government’s answer, in tandem with mainstream media, was also to be afraid. Very afraid. Americans also complied with this request, perhaps more than any other.
In the days and weeks after the initial shock, a college professor informed me about a bill called the PATRIOT ACT that would essentially eviscerate much of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. After class, I questioned him further about the bill, which he explained, and suggested that if I really wanted to understand what was happening, I should read 1984 by George Orwell. I went home and did just that and was surprised to learn that not only was he right, but that I was watching what I was reading happen in front of me in real life.

I watched as the fear of speaking your mind and saying certain words became known as freedom. I watched as Americans came to assume that their communications were listened to, frightened of what they said, but justifying it as they praised their country for being unlike the totalitarian governments of the past. Peace became war. Any suggestion that invading Afghanistan was wrong was unpatriotic. In fact, any criticism of the government was considered unpatriotic and anyone who valued freedom over temporary security was borderline a traitor........

Bet you didn't know that In Canada you get fired for being a talented cartoonist


And ... we have the cheek to continue with our usual mantra of  "Canada is the greatest country in the world, it's so much into freedom of speech and individual opinions, blah, blah, blah.....

Now ... if this was somehow a cartoon showing one of the guys USA and her lead lapdog Canada, loves to hate, then what are the bets that that cartoonist would have got a raise and perhaps even a promotion? 

Canada has flung away its moral compass somewhere in the many, many swamps down south.

Political cartoonist let go by N.B. newspapers soon after viral Trump cartoon; chain says decision was unrelated

Political cartoonist Michael de Adder has been released from his freelance contract with a major Atlantic Canada newspaper chain soon after he drew a viral cartoon that criticized Donald Trump using imagery of a father and daughter who drowned trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, de Adder, who is also a freelance contributor to the Toronto Star, said Brunswick News cancelled his contract shortly after he published the provocative image on his Twitter and Facebook pages and after two weeks in which he drew three cartoons about Trump — a topic he said he has typically avoided for fear of getting fired by the newspaper chain.
“2 went viral and the third went supernova and a day later I was let go,” the Halifax-based cartoonist wrote. “Overnight it was like I never worked for the paper. Make your own conclusions.”

In a Sunday statement, the Brunswick News said the decision had nothing to do with Trump, saying de Adder had been let go following negotiations with a different cartoonist.\

"It is entirely incorrect” to say de Adder’s contract was ........

Freedom of Speech is being burned alive


For now, Trump is for Freedom of Speech because many of his fans among the conservative voices have been silenced.  Will he still stand for that freedom when things don't go his way?  Time will tell.

Trump warns he will 'monitor the censorship' on social media after Facebook banned some far-right leaders

President Trump on Friday threatened to “monitor" social-media sites for their “censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS,” a day after Facebook permanently banned far-right figures and organizations including the conspiracy theory site InfoWars.
Trump’s subtle threat -- delivered in a series of tweets -- marked the president’s latest broadside against Silicon Valley, which he has repeatedly accused of unfairly targeting and removing conservative users and their views. Facebook, Google and Twitter strongly deny the allegations of political bias............
