We know from history how a mass psychosis this severe ultimately ends. Right now would be the time to put an end to the vaccine passports and to start a mass media campaign to deprogram as many mask cultists as possible. Unfortunately the opposite seems to be happening. The longer this going on, the less likely it will be that things will ever return to normal.

I only have one question. Where the hell is the ACLU?

When is western Oregon joining Idaho?

I have been to 49 of the 50 states in my 68 years. Oregon would be the last. It is not been on my way to other destinations and I was waiting for their silliness to abate before making a dedicated trip. It looks like I may have waited too long now.

One critical point you didn't include here, Jordan, is that neither the Emergency Use Authorizations issued by the FDA to Moderna and Pfizer for their mRNA "vaccines" nor the companys' applications for those EUAs mention the vaccines preventing either infection or transmission of the virus. They are "proven" only to generally reduce symptoms and thereby hospitalizations and deaths.

The irony here is that allowing vaccinated persons (about a tenth of one percent of whom are likely to develop infections with minimal to no symptoms but will still be potential spreaders) to enter and hang out in inside areas makes absolutely no sense while unvaccinated persons are being required to co tinge wearing masks allegedly to prevent the spread of the virus--particularly when 99% percent of the emphasis on masks has been to "protect others", not the wearers...who in this situation will be the most likely to be infected and/or develop serious symptoms.

All this is BS that is decidedly NOT based on any real science and in truth has absolutely nothing to do with public health.

A test case for America; certainly it must be in coordination with the national Democrat party.

Like our mail-in voting, which is now being pushed by our Democrats in Congress as a success story to eliminate in-person voting in all the other states.

I doubt the governor can, or wants to, enforce the law among certain populations though. As with Antifa being allowed to run free in the streets, it's unlikely Hispanics will be held to account in their businesses up and down the Willamette Valley, and it is very likely disfavored white populations will be harassed. We're happily reproducing the same level of corruption our undocumented migrants fled.

What can we do? Vote our way out? Sign petitions to recall the governor, which if enough signatures are gathered the recall will go to a... vote-by-mail vote?

Protest? Every time citizens peacefully protest lockdowns and government overreach, Antifa shows up with calibrated violence to provoke a response, any response, and then city police swoop in to detain and remove the peaceful protesters. It's like Antifa is special forces calling in an air strike by unionized police on the civil opponents of Ted Wheeler and Kate Brown and Barack Obama.

The British had their Intolerable Acts.

The British did not have Inane Acts.

Although "right wingers" have for decades insisted that liberalism is a mental disease, most thought that was crazy talk. Now, however, all you have to do is look at the most "liberal" (progressive?) states and literally see insane people in positions of power. Texas (not progressive in any sense of the word) has recently stated they will soon make mask mandates illegal and punishable by fines. Who are the crazy ones? The "virus numbers" (manipulated as they are) don't lie. States like Florida and Texas, who dropped the mask nonsense months ago -- to the wailing and gnashing of teeth by stupid people -- have experienced no "surge" or any BS increase in cases compared to the fascist lockdown states. Personal freedom and responsibility versus tyranny. No difference, because virus gonna virus. It's simply science.

I'd appreciate some input from anyone who is so moved. My wife and I are in our late 60's and live in a very liberal community in southern Minnesota. We are Christians, as are most of our friends. Yet, even most of them have gotten the "experimental injection" (AKA the vaccine). We feel very much in the minority here, but do not feel compelled to have something injected in us that is still experimental and may even be dangerous. However, of those we know, who have received the injection, none as yet have had severe reactions or died from it. How are you handling this situation?

The leftists are just seeing what they can get away with. Under HIPPA directives, it is illegal for anyone to ask you questions about your health or treatments. You do not have to answer, if they do. We have dueling branches of government trying to control us. It will be curious to see how the courts rule on all of this.
