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.

I also looked into that quote many years ago. It seems Thomas Jefferson also said something similar to the version you used. No matter. If a tribal person in some remote country said it, it still resonates as truth, no matter how it's worded or who said it.

"What is that really about?" Does evil need a reason to exist?

As my old boss used to say when talking about how to make a sale - "Baffle 'em with bullshit."

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.

Kyle Young's avatar

Thanks Marva. I hope I don't fail you.

I'm surprised to hear a home schooler has taken the jab.

If your serious about proofreading, I'd be happy to let you do so. I'm always surprised at what gets by me, even after numerous readings. Send me an email - let's talk.

Thank you once again Kyle for your very informative emails.I’m in Perth WA and have so far not been affected hugely by lockdowns but what saddens me is the amount of people getting vaccinated my brothers my sisters my friends the reason they give is “cause we have to “ 🙄It’s crazy !!But soo sad they are my family and I can’t save them 😔

I and I'm sure many readers here have similar stories and sympathize with your situation.

Good stuff Kyle! This is Carly Cahoon and i met you at the mushroom stand at the green valley farmers market a few weeks ago. I’d love to meet up with you, check out the land and see if we can create a nice win win for both of us!

Thanks for the article. Here are some scriptures regarding TRUE freedom. 'It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery". Galatians 5:1

"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed". John 8:36

If you bow down to the big pharma owned tyrannical politicians and severely compromised 'health' officials dictating what you must do with your own body in order to get along in their dystopian New World Order, then you will forever be a slave to their system. Every time they say "get a booster", you will comply or face their wrath. "But, as for me and my house, I will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Those who know their Bible better than their religion are truly wise. Thanks cheyerra.

Great, Kyle, am going to include some of this in an upcoming article called Hitting the Fan (much is doing so today and all week) despite the deniers of reality

first Alex Berenson posted the evidence this morning saying OMG OMG OMG, now the Intercept wrote an article spelling it out, aka the smoking gun leaked grant proposal written by good old Peter Dasak/Eco Health Alliance, https://theintercept.com/2021/09/23/coronavirus-research-grant-darpa/, Let’s look at the big picture: A novel SARS coronavirus emerges in Wuhan with a novel cleavage site in it. We now have evidence that, in early 2018, they had pitched inserting novel cleavage sites into novel SARS-related viruses in their lab,” said Chan. “This definitely tips the scales for me. And I think it should do that for many other scientists too.”

Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University who has espoused the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may have originated in a lab, agreed. “The relevance of this is that SARS Cov-2, the pandemic virus, is the only virus in its entire genus of SARS-related coronaviruses that contains a fully functional cleavage site at the S1, S2 junction,” said Ebright,

Here's what I said on Alex Berenson's site this morning:

It's part of the magic trick - distract with one hand while the other performs the trick. As long as people keep buying into the antiquated germ 'theory' distractions and using that as a basis to support the lab leak story, 'their' efforts will continue to be effective. As my old boss used to say when talking about how to make a sale, "Baffle 'em with bullshit".

Apparently there are others who feel the same way because it's had 7 likes so far.

not to be a dick, typo in the third to last paragraph, should read free states...

Someday when I'm rich and famous I hope to be able to hire an editor.

great substuck btw, just proofing not criticising

Jen's avatar

Anyone can submit whatever they want to vaers. It does not need to be verified information. Those numbers are false.

Kyle Young's avatar

Whoever told you that doesn't know what they're talking about. I've communicated directly with the people at VAERS on several occasions and I'm here to tell you that they vet every submission thoroughly.

el bicho palo's avatar

and anyone can comment here but that doesn't mean that the comment will be valuable, or indeed truthful

The CDC investigates reports of deaths so those reports are real. The reports are not anonymous and IF false, well, false reports are a federal crime. You'd think there would be reports of arrests for filing false claims, no? Approximately 85% of the reports are filed by doctors, nurses or pharmacists. So...

Additionally, the submission procedure is so onerous, that usually only health officials complete the process.
