This is a very difficult subject to discuss. We know there are those that found last year to be quite rewarding. Those that were wealthy, or who lived in the bubble in the Washington, D.C. area, were shielded from the effects of tyrannical lockdowns and illegal executive actions at all levels of government. They alone could afford to put their offspring into private institutions of learning. They never had to deal with a reduction in incomes or complete loss of jobs. They could afford to have someone else buy or deliver their food. They could gather at their leisure, with others so enriched, behind closed doors or in gated communities, and in homes protected and defended against violence and destruction. From their glass houses they could spout words of condemnation, division and deceit to those truly humbled and humiliated by the authors of COVID-19, and those who were visionless in their quest to wrestle away freedoms from the masses. But even those who found some solace in the ever increasing stock market must beware. Buoyed by a lot of injected capital, much of it because of our government’s insatiable desire to print money, an inflationary process throwing our Nation into ever increasing debt, the stock market is in a dangerous place, and much of what provided some sense of solace could be lost. Consider what caused The Great Depression, people borrowing money from banks and pulling cash out of mortgaged homes to buy over-valued stock were prime factors. Most of the masses within our Nation suffered due to the virus and over-bearing government control. The damage is clear, and the toll of destruction has not yet reached its sum.
We do not want to dwell on the negatives, but one cannot fully appreciate the mountain tops until they can be viewed from the valleys. Devastation reigned in millions of lives in the last year. There was much destruction of the human condition, both corporeal and incorporeal, both the measurable and the unmeasurable, both in the tangible, and in the ethereal. Millions of lives were turned upside down. Many who owned businesses, lost them. Many who had life sustaining jobs, lost them, becoming wards of the government. Many who had wonderful physical connections with others, had them short-circuited. Many look back on last year and wish it had not happened . . . . . . but it did. We cannot, and will not, allow this to continue, or to ever happen again. In our complacency, we have been lulled into a deadly slumber. This is why we are encouraging all citizens to go mask free, and to fully open up all businesses and institutions beginning JULY 4, 2021
We want to point out just one of the many ways we suffered last year, and can only wonder, “What if?” Most adults have learned through the years how to cope or adjust to some challenges in life that come our way. However, even though children are pretty resilient, the last year has left a huge hole in the hearts of many American families, because many of our children have suffered greatly, or have even been lost. Our children lost connections with their friends and mentors. They became connected to their laptops and notebooks. Many missed graduations, sporting events, proms, and field trips. Many suffered depression to the point of suicide. Here are a few quotes: “As hospitals see more severe child abuse injuries during coronavirus, ‘the worst is yet to come'” (USA Today, May 13, 2020); “Opioid overdoses 29% higher in 2020 than before the pandemic: Study” (ABC News, Feb 10, 2021); “Depression was at 8% in February 2020, was already at record highs for us, but August it was at 28%, which is just horrifying that something which is the world’s most expensive illness, depression, world-wide, cost more money, tripled in just a matter of months. We saw suicide, suicidal behaviors unlike anything I’ve seen in my 40 year career.” (Dr. Daniel Amen, April 10, 2021, On The Road Forward, Real America’s Voice).”Nobody Has Openings” (Mental Health Providers Struggle to Met Demand, NY Times, Feb 17, 2021). Many of our Nation’s schools remain at best in a hybrid learning environment, even though the science has told us that children of school age are the least likely to be affected by the virus, and even though the CDC said schools can be opened up safely with spacing reduced to only 3 feet. You can blame the government for dragging feet to reopen, or the teacher’s unions, but it really falls on parents and citizens to take back your children’s freedoms. You can no longer sit idly by and hope that some day it will all get better by relying upon others. It will only get better when we demand and take ACTION in UNITY to make it happen! How many more weeks, months, or years are you willing to allow your children to suffer, and how many more may die? It is time to stop this insanity and get back to being the free society we once were. Join with all of us as we go mask free if possible, and fully open up all businesses and institutions beginning JULY 4, 2021.
