A commentator and pastor recently noted that we a have reached a mark where two seemingly contradictory ideology’s define our society.
- There is a denunciation of all claims of absolute truth.
- There is powerful fanaticism in which one position or group is absolutely right, nothing at all ambiguous, and any divergent view should be expunged, removed or destroyed.
Interestingly, the second ideology will always attempt to fill the void created by the absence of the first. This contradiction of ideologies held within the same human mind is the definition of “double-mindedness” found biblically. It is also one of the signs of the times.
It is and always has been, that in the absence of absolute truth, “my truth” progresses down the road of authoritarian power to become “kneel before Zod!” It is the direction that corrupts the soul drawing one, in the words of Emperor Palpatine, to seek for “Power, unlimited power!”
In the absence of absolute truth, the Beatitudes are replaced with fanaticisms. These are ever-changing, non-eternal, and often entirely arbitrary relating to one’s ability to hold or grab power. Humility and healing are thrown out with the bathwater and half-truths are elevated to the level of ultimate individual justice.
The latest fanaticism is our wearing of masks. We’ve progressed miles past science in this personal truth and we now sit squarely in the realm of voodoo. Yet, this voodoo gets louder and stronger and more obnoxious the more it is proven to be a complete and utter fraud.
In Arizona, we’ve had a mask mandate for almost 150 days, Ohio for 112 days, Maryland for 106 days, New York for 128 days. Yet all of these states are currently threatening more shutdowns of schools, business, and gatherings because of a new “surge” in coronavirus.
Absolutely nowhere upon the earth have masks been scientifically shown to slow COVID-19 in real time after almost 6 months of trying. Not a state, not a country, . . . nowhere has this mandate been effective. The science published by the CDC itself even said masks would be ineffective for control of respiratory bacterial and viral infections prior to COVID-19 rearing it’s ugly head.
Yet, today through the necromancy of media, mask wearing has become the sign of worthiness for worship at the alter of Baal. It’s become the symbol of false righteousness many times over. The witch doctor atop the CDC has incredulously taught us through a daily camera dance, much like the rain dance of old, that masks are better than a vaccine.
Masks are a vaccine, of sorts, not meant to kill the virus, but to kill hope, liberty and civility within the human soul. The more they don’t work, the more we continue to and agree to wear them. Action is our communication with Providence that our fear is our greatest certainty and the flatness of the earth actually brings us comfort.
It’s no wonder we’ve attempted to elected one of our elders with dementia. He is the mask personified. The twice failed presidential candidate with a 49 year track record of public “service” never once improving humanity, government or the human condition. Let’s just try using him harder this time. It has to work. What could go wrong?
This failure has literally become sacramentalized. Fundamentalization of failure into the religion of the mask becomes a personal truth, when the increasingly preposterous becomes our governing idol.
This is the exact opposite of creation. It is the only religion that can exist in the absence of absolute truth. God’s grace steps into the void and compels the creation of good and holy. In opposition to this, the religion of the mask is the fanaticism that propels the abuse of everything so that one might worship the oppressed and then celebrate the anointing of nothing at all. Power over the abyss is the destination of those that govern.
It is the greatest swindle of all time. It is working on you, and it is working on me . . . so sayeth the mask.

– Update – November 18, 2020 –
The Danish Study on Masks was finally published today. It is the largest and the ONLY randomized control trial (RCT) on 6000 people wearing masks and the results . . .
Masks DON’T protect you!!!
Authors state, to the chagrin of the CDC, that the results were NOT statistically significant, but Reuters and NY Times is going to spin this to say they protect you from others . . . that statement is, again, NOT statistically significant.
The CDC, prior to changing its position on universal mask-wearing, had previously cited 10 randomized controlled trials that showed “no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks.” Now, the CDC and other elite institutions would have us believe that coronavirus is somehow different. The Danes were the first to actually study the effect of large-scale universal mask-wearing specifically against the spread of COVID-19.
Remember in science class when you found out that the placebo effect was up to 40%? The FDA will NOT approve ANY drug or medical treatment unless is passes 40% effectiveness (placebo) for effect.
Masks ARE NOT, and never have been, any more effective than placebo. . . Period. Hard stop. End of story. And, the ONLY RCT trial ever done now proves it. I can give you a Skittle and you’re probably less likely to get COVID-19 then you are wearing a mask. . . the reason is placebo, up to 40% reduction if I tell you that “it’s a powerfully protective Skittle.”
Interestingly, this study was completed in October, but three medical journals refused to publish it because it “wasn’t politically correct.”
Hmmm. That should tell you something.
