Survival Lesson # 10: Express and experience your life in the real world
Survival Lessons to save the Surviving Class [updated: 01 17 2023] #RulingClass #SurvivingClass #MaskMandate
I start each of these Survival Lessons with a reference to Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four novel. The Ruling Class [Big Brother] in the novel not only sought complete control over its subjects. It also sought to destroy their human spirits. Subjects with no human spirit are ever pliable to whimsical Ruling Class needs. Subjects with a destroyed human spirit will never be a challenge to the authority of the Ruling Class.
This lesson is about the dangers of living in realities created and controlled by the Ruling and Enabling Classes.
Mark Steyn: Web-Slinger, But No Friendly Neighborhood - work, purpose, life - is a weak and feeble thing. But virtual [simulated] reality has a tighter grip than ever: you in your room with your telephone. Because who needs the world when the world is just a click away. Even if the click, and thus the world, is controlled by Google-Facebook.
Much of this lesson was inspired by Mark Steyn, the ever Happy Warrior who is uncompromising in his rejoicing of the human spirit.
We are increasingly living in simulated worlds. These unreal worlds reach out to touch us every day. In these simulated worlds our consciousness and even behaviors are modified and enhanced with digital stimuli and illusions. The Ruling and the Enabling Classes have made it increasingly convenient for populations to connect with approved content of their digital worlds. Think of the news, friend uploads, media, games, work networking, navigating, entertainment, sports, and increasingly metaverses that are competing to define our realities. All of these digital connections have been simplified through ever smarter phones, cheaper computers and faster connected devices. As Steyn explains, the price society pays for these digital conveniences is greater control by the Ruling and Enabling Classes. It is not truth or greater societal wellbeing that motivates the Ruling Class. They are relentless in their quest for greater power and control. And when the Ruling Class gains greater power and control, the Surviving Class certainly loses its survival ability, freedom and human spirit.
If we limit our existence to unreal worlds, we are at risk of greater control by the Ruling and Enabling classes. See these themes about Ruling Class control, all of which are predicted in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four.:
Theme 100: Constant Surveillance is the foundation of ever greater Ruling Class power
Theme 110: The Ruling Class is deploying pervasive behavior control systems
Theme 130: Propaganda is a forced Ruling Class "truth" often toxic to the Surviving Class
Being tethered to Unreal Worlds is threatening our survival
Here are some quick examples of unreal digital world “realities” that threaten our survival.
Foreign influences hostile to our country were hidden prior to 2020 US presidential election. Enabling Class media and Big Tech ignored or censored this information, thereby creating a fabricated world more conducive to their chosen candidate.
COVID virus risks are exaggerated with the implications that populations will avoid hospitals and normal medical procedures. Pervasive and persistent fear that facilitates a Ruling Class savior while creating an “others class” appears to be the plan.
Pandemic lockdowns are catalysts for increasing school children suicides. These children are collateral damage to Ruling Class plans.
Vaccine efficacies are overstated. Vaccine risks are under stated. And many COVID therapeutics are censored. These points are operational dogmas for the control that universal vaccinations deliver.
Here is a longer presentation of another unnatural world that is globally supported by the Ruling and the Enabling Classes. It transcends digital connections: facial masking.
Unnatural World: Facial Masking
Face maskings that we are now experiencing are predominately performed for other purposes than COVID disease prevention. Here are some logic points that discount the utility of face masks as a health enhancing device:
Almost every mask aerosol demonstration shows significant leakage of potential disease carrying aerosols through and around masks. In fact, the most predominant cloth mask, filters almost nothing. Our breath is invisible in life conditions. We may not see the escaping aerosols, yet they are escaping with every breath. Viruses are escaping and likewise infiltrating with every breath.
Filters have a limited effectivity period. The more breaths that are “filtered” the fewer aerosols that the filter can retain. A real filter will ultimately clog and stop any future air passage. Or worse, the filter reaches saturation and previously caught virus are expelled with every breath. The reader will realize that he/she has never seen a compliant mask wearer exchange masks for a fresh one upon saturation. CDC is starting to understand the futility of cloth masks.
“Face diaper” is imagery that works for this next point. A mask under prolonged usage will become a moist breeding ground for bacteria or fungi that thrive on the organics that are also part of breath aerosols. In such scenarios, red bumps around your mouth and cracks at the corners of your lips may mean you have a fungal infection. Maskne, yeast, bacteria and other flora, such as demodex (types of skin mites that naturally live on our skin), can grow. Bacterial imbalances and friction from masks can promote acne, trigger rosacea flare-ups and cause fine pimples and pustules to appear around the nose and mouth. Like above, have you ever seen one change his/her face diaper through the course of the day?
Prolonged social isolation is toxic to a person. Remember that solitary confinement is an ultimate form of prison punishment. Face masking is a form of social isolation. Our brains have evolved to survive by reading facial expressions. In fact, the fusiform gyrus of the human brain specifically evolved to recognize faces. We become less human and less healthy when other faces are removed from our normal existence. These psychological toxic effects are everywhere around us - if we choose to look. Mental health. Anxiety.
Now add some scientific research to the argument about masking utility.
Bangladesh Mask Study: A large, real-world test of face masks in Bangladesh shows that masks reduce community spread of COVID-19. It also shows that surgical masks are more effective than cloth face coverings.
Villages where surgical masks were worn had 11% fewer COVID-19 cases than villages in where masks were not worn.
In villages where cloth masks were worn, on the other hand, infections were reduced by only 5%. The cloth masks were substantial. Each had three layers ― two layers of fabric with an outer layer of polypropylene.
Did you pause at the words of “surgical mask”, “three layers”, 11% and 5%? Even under extraordinary masking scenarios, masks provided limited COVID transmission protection. More analysis on the Bangladesh study.
This paper also lays out the futility of common masks for COVID prevention. Here are more recent analysis about the futility of common cloth masks:
The Federalist: “CDC Finally Admits Cloth Masks Were Always Political Theater.” Mask mandates have always been more about showing compliance than keeping people safe, and the CDC’s latest embarrassing disclosure further proves it.
Ian Miller: The Global Failure of the Great Mask Wearing Experiment.
Steve Kirsch: 27 page rebuttal letter from 8 industrial hygienists complaining about flawed CDC mask guidance
Steve Kirsch: Even more proof: Masks don't work. A new study shows COVID is highly likely present on every plane. No surprise! But when the mask mandate was lifted, COVID death rates remained FLAT. The masks made NO difference.
Perhaps I have drilled too deeply into the Unreal World of masking. Nevertheless, I have done so because masks are reappearing in general society at this time in spite of the following:
Summary of unreal masking worlds (unreal equals human isolation)
From an engineering perspective most common masks to not perform to function of COVID transmission prevention.
Masks can be a breeding ground for facial diseases.
Masks have high psychological costs.
The real reasons for Ruling Class insistence on mask mandates
I will get to my concise reasons after I again refer to Mark Steyn. Mark talks about "doffing the cap." To “doff your hat” is to raise your hat in acknowledgement of or deference to another. Mark explains that this gesture was performed as an act of subservience to “their betters.”
Mark Steyn: Seeing the massed ranks of sad saggy cloth masks of no "scientific" use in preventing transmission or infection and too worn and weary even to stay on the end of the nose, one naturally assumes they are there for some other purpose - to signal one's compliance and, as with the burqa and niqab, that one knows one's place. Such deference is extended not merely to "fully qualified virologists" and to government leaders but to winners of Oscars and Tonys. As Glenn Greenwald notes, at the most glittering events it is now accepted that the celebrities go maskless but the staff are covered. The science behind this is totally solid [sarcasm]: Everyone knows that if you've got a Grammy it's equivalent to at least thirty-seven booster shots.
In the above gesture, it was the subservient class that performed the one-way doffing the cap gesture. So too with today’s mask wearing. It is the submissive class that wears the mask. The Ruling Class only wears the mask when cameras might be nearby. If you do not believe the reality of the Ruling Class not adhering to their mask mandates, check here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here or here.
Since there are meager health reasons for wearing a common mask, here are the unreal world reasons for mask mandates and for those who wear them:
Submission: a gesture of submission of the under classes to the Ruling Class
Amulets or charms of protection from COVID viruses
A virtue signal that the wearer is a good person [Enabling Class] versus a bad person [Surviving Class] who might be maskless (above)
A badge of being deputized to harass non-mask wearers
A dehumanizing part of a police uniforms, especially when they are being bullies to non-criminal citizens. (see videos above and below)
Survival Lesson: Express and experience your life in the real world
Technology in unreal worlds gives great leverage to more firmly control the Surviving Class. Nevertheless, the Surviving Class does have, for now, the ability to survive by living more in the real world. In real worlds we interact with each other as nature and evolution intended. Here are some ways to live in the real world as a counter to the unreal worlds that are sucking us in:
Participate in local government while promoting Surviving Class principles, Survival Lesson # 7. School board and poll working are two examples.
Create random acts of kindness to counter systematic dehumanization, Survival Lesson # 5
Show your face every opportunity when you are not compelled to hide it. Lessons #7 and #5 are face sharing times.
Be real with politicians. Call their offices. Send them letters and emails. Attend their presentations. Get beyond lazy likes and shares in social media.
Oppose reflexive home schooling of students. Reflexive? Yes, recent history has taught us that many school unions and boards will default to remote and unreal learning at the smallest of provocations.
Oppose school mandates for student face masks. Let parents decide.
Support individuals or businesses based on their overt support of the Surviving Class. There are millions of small businesses that are being crushed by zealous Enabling Class enforcement of pandemic related mandates. (see below)
Support traditional Enabling Class individuals who have the courage to break rank to support the Surviving Class. See Calgary police officer apology below.
Shun individuals or businesses based on their overt support of Ruling Class propaganda and plans for the The Great Reset, and numerous other controlling plans for the Surviving Class.
Record Enabling Class bullying videos and upload them to Rumble and Gettr. [Remember how the video of the murder of George Floyd rocked the world?] Here are some examples of videos that tell the stories where words alone would not resonate:
Rumble: Woman beaten by police in Berlin. “Reportedly a woman was arrested at a anti lockdown protest, following the arrest against the fake pandemic restrictions in Berlin last night the woman was beaten in a bus and after complaints from fellow protesters at her treatment...a curtain is pulled forward so the police can carry on their 'treatment' of her while preventing further images...”
Rumble: Man Arrested In Australia For Walking His Dog Without A Mask I count at least six coppers taking down the citizen. Unsure if a special canine unit was also deployed to arrest the unmasked dog. Did you know that animals can transmit COVID?
Rumble: German Police arresting 80 year old Woman over Mask Mandate Vs Hitler's Time. Eight eager police take her down. A kind passer-by attends to her dog. The Hitler time in the title relates to the reign of police terror during the Nazi regime. German Enabling Class is lacking some self-awareness.
Rumble: Kid Gets Kicked Out of NY Restaurant For Not Having Vax Papers. I count five of New York’s finest as they remove the young boy, who is perhaps eight. This dragnet of the family is happening while NYC murders were 500 in 2021.
Facebook: Video creator/publisher quote: “This is Australia now people. Such a sad day when 5 disgusting individuals in police uniform come to my cafe, Interrogate me as to whether I'm allowing unvaxxed people dine at my establishment and then proceed to check all guests and arrest this lovely lady just because she wouldn't show her medical records to them. So disgusted and embarrassed to be Australian right now. Would have loved 5 police when we got broken into four times. Truly heart broken, mad and disgusted.”
Russel Brand has a take on this incident too.
Twitter: “Watch close up of peaceful protestors in Ottawa [Canada] protesting mandates being trampled by the mounted [police] unit.” Indigenous elder is trampled.
Take to the street and other public forums In a recent protest, over one million protesters took to Australian streets. Thousands protest in London. Washington protest. Massive protest in Toronto. Brisbane. Sweden. New York City police take to street in support of murdered officers. Truckers in Canada protest against COVID mandates. A peaceful public presence is a powerful message. Especially a public protest that is infused with joy and humor as in the below video of container banging Ottawa protestors in response to judicial order against truck horn honking.
More Mark Steyn: When virtual reality [unreal realities] is becoming a scam, the trick is to reclaim real reality - as demonstrators in many European countries were this last weekend, many of them getting roughed up by the coppers [Enabling Class]. But [Enabling Class] beating up protestors [Surviving Class] takes resources, and the more dissidents the more [Enabling Class] manpower. Whereas keeping people in their rooms sedated by Spider-Man [digital media] takes no resources. In 2022, take back the real world.
The big Steyn point here is that the Ruling and Enabling Class can scale their control with unreal digital worlds. Yet lives lived in the real world confounds digital scale control. Let 2022 be the year that the Surviving Class rejects the unreal worlds of the Enabling Class media, politicians and Big Tech. Let it be the year when the Surviving Class makes the real world the world that matters.
