“You should read history, and look at ostracism, persecution, martyrdom and that kind of thing. They always happen to the best men, you know.” George Eliot, Writer, Silas Marner

It worked for Nathaniel Hawthorne in the Scarlet Letter, a novel set in 1642, so why shouldn’t it work today?
If the government were to make citizens who refuse to get the Covid-19 vaccine wear shirts emblazoned with the letters "NV," you would think that would embarrass the No Vaccination people into submission.
Or, at the very least, make them Vaccine Pariahs.
In 1850’s New Orleans, they didn’t do it any better, but at least they were honest.
When Yellow Fever broke out and Louisiana citizens were dropping like flies, the infected were sent to an island, to die or get better.
But, as with all decisions, there were consequences. And in Louisiana, a social hierarchy developed.
“My research seeks to understand how epidemic Yellow Fever disrupted Deep Southern society,” Kathryn Olivarius, a history professor at Stanford University, says.
Those who had lived through the Yellow Fever were called “acclimated;” those who had not had the disease were “unacclimated.”
“If you were unacclimated, you basically languished in professional and social purgatory,” Olivarius said.
“Bosses would not hire clerks and bookkeepers who were not expressly acclimated. You couldn’t live in certain neighborhoods. People would not rent to you unless you were acclimated. Certain social circles would exclude you.
“And so,” says Professor Olivarius, “this created a hierarchy where you have people who are actively seeking to get sick.”
Which is sick.
But no sicker than punishing people for exercising their freedom of choice, choosing not to vaccinate and to keep their health history where it belongs. With them, not the government.
Unfortunately that isn't a choice they have, and it’s discouraging.
With all we have learned medically, to see that in 2021 we are no further ahead psychologically than the people who lived in 1850.
Or 1642.
If you disobey Dr. Fauci and the CDC’s ever-changing “science,” you’re in for big trouble.
Sure, President Joe might have told Americans he won’t make government passports the law of the land, but he’s letting the Big Box stores and other businesses do it for him.
Like Walmart, Target, Home Depot.
Those are the businesses who were allowed to be open during the Pandemic, while churches and private businesses were not. Quid pro quo?
Now these are the companies who say they will continue to require masks if a customer is not vaccinated.
If you cannot present your papers at their doors, you must be prepared to wear a mask, and that mask will be your Scarlet Letter.
Don’t even try to understand it. None of it makes sense.
Parents stand outside, on the sidelines with masks on, while their kids, a full team, play soccer, sweating and making contact with each other, eating oranges at half-time, shoulder to shoulder, while they aren’t allowed to sit in a classroom.
None of it is an accident. A compliant populace is a controllable one, something Communists love.
It’s all part of a whole.
Communism loves a society without private property and private businesses, and Communist China is most pleased with boot-licking conformists like Disney, and Michael Bloomberg.
Think about it.
While Joe and Kamala allow illegal immigrants to move freely in a country that is not theirs, unmasked and unchecked for the Covid 19 virus, American citizens are being treated like people making a Berlin border crossing.
All of what’s happening, mandatory masks, gas shortages at the pump, right before Joe visits an electric car plant in Dearborn;
Joe neglecting to mention his record, according to Breitbart, of “allowing Chinese investors with ties to the Communist Party to buy up key parts of the American electric vehicle industry,”
And Kamala Missing in Action on the border, none of it is an accident.
It is all designed to make the United States weak, to change the country forever.
And America’s enemies couldn’t be happier.
But don’t underestimate the American people.
Like the Lone Wolf, Americans may know that the tiger and the lion are more powerful, but they also know the wolf doesn’t perform in the circus.
And neither will they.
Hold the line, America.
Where We Go One, We Go All
Stay strong, Patriots.
