I don't like to rely on quotes from famous people, because someone can always complain that it isn't quite right or taken out of context.

According to someone who has studied this, the quote is as follows:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

The context regards a political battle in Pennsylvania regarding how to raise money for sending more soldiers west to protect the inland border from the French and natives.

However, I credit Franklin to be among the more profound thinkers of those times, and so don't totally discount this expression as applying to life in a more general way.

There are, however, other ways to understand our current slippage in the direction of slavery and autocracy besides this overused quote.

The general public have been made afraid of this disease, and have responded out of fear, welcoming efforts to protect them. We KNOW that this isn't a very sane response to a threat, and opens us up to being taken advantage of. A saner response is to FACE (confront) the threat and respond to it with courage. When many did, they discovered how small the actual threat really was (relative to many other threats we live with daily) and how ineffective the supposed protective measures would actually be. And out of that courage came the revelation that we WERE being taken advantage of.

I was not that aware of the UK numbers. 0.23% deaths from a vaccine or a disease is a serious number. Who knows what the US numbers really are? I randomly know of a few people who have died recently. No one is linking their deaths to the shot. But I believe they got the shot.

The idea that viruses don't cause disease remains controversial, at least in my mind. Because if we are saying that the spike protein is the toxin, and that is part of the virus, then doesn't that make the virus also a toxin? But it is compelling to contemplate the possibility that something else has been going on all this time. We know now that a bunch of athletes at the China military games in 2019 got sick from something. In a standard infection disease model, they would be the initial spreaders. But it is interesting to think that the particles they emitted after getting sick might not actually have been viruses, but something else. On top of that, 5G seems to be involved. Very odd.

I choose not to dwell on the mechanics of disease spread. I figure that in these modern times, if some crooked elite wants to make a lot of people sick, they can figure out some way to make it happen. The huge takeaway from all this is that those we regard as protectors of our health seemed to have other purposes in mind. They were continuously misleading us. What is that really all about?

But on the "lab leak" I do have two totally non-mainstream sources that have verified that an accident happened in a lab that correlates to when this whole thing started. From other reports, it seems something happened at the Wuhan lab in late 2019 that made some people sick. But pinning this on China does have political motivations, and so we may question this data. After all, some of the money for that lab came from the US. That is why I prefer to call the miscreants "criminals" rather than give them any particular political affiliation. Even if a criminal did have a political affiliation, it would likely be given cynically and with no real sense of devotion or allegiance.

Thank you for giving to others with this information that I personally trust. My daughter is of opposite opinions and thinks that China is behind all such information against the jabs and this is of course very painful to me. I homeschooled her to avoid vaccines, and now am afraid that she has allowed herself to be jabbed. Also, I was once hired as a professional proofreader, and I would be so glad to proofread your writings, no charge, of course.
