Or muzzles, as I call them. Obedience training. The pictures are very self-explanatory, Steve. Thanks for posting. There are some brave moms here in California and I don't think your gender observation is misplaced.

Masks = fear + compliance. Public healthy never enters into the equation.

Hey, Steven, I volunteer on Mark Crispin Miller's little team of obit-gatherers from likely vax deaths (birth-75, 'sudden deaths', strokes, vaxxidents, etc...). They barely get anything at all in terms of injuries or deaths out of Japan. Might you be interested in joining the team? Fundamentally, Mark Crispin Miller is doing what the media would do if we had independent, competent, ethical press around the world, which of course you know we don't. If you're interested in chatting, please email me 2zeldasydney@gmail.com and thanks!

The pamphlets seem very well made and with the perspective of the child in mind. That's where the gender observation might make some sense.

The most sensible resistance to all this hell is not rational, it's human. It's that all of this feels wrong, and if somebody ain't feeling it, well... talking won't be enough.

Google Translate is trash-but-entirely-doable in any pinch. I've used it for loads of thing over the years. Using it now for foreign-language obits (I'm only fluent in Eng and Fr).

Although only a limited number of languages, check out a German company, DeepL. They have a free version which is all I need, and I think they do a better job than Google for Englsh to Japanese and back.

Hello, Steven.

So great that you are stepping up to this craziness. I've shared this with my Japanese partner who is in Japan right now.

And I was thinking about you today and, by some odd computer thing, your name came into my email via Substack this evening without obvious cause. I hope you are well.

I'm writing a bit about masks, and rats, in my next "Refugee" post. I hope to finish it tonight - which I've been saying for about 3 weeks now. It keeps demanding to be re-morphed. Not sure how it will turn out.

All the best, with peace and gratitude.
