  1. No matter what her position is on lockdowns, this woman actually thinks one of the primary reasons kids go to school is to be fed and to make sure their parents aren’t abusing them?

    1. I don’t think she said that. She mentioned meals as one thing kids in some areas get at school. Schools also are a major source for identifying child abuse. Most of us are aware of the problems with learning issues when kids are going to school but many do not think of these other dimensions. Dr. Atlas (Trumps advisor briefly on Covid policy) mentions in an interview something like 200,000 instances of child abuse not caught because the kids were not going to school. Starvation is another issue. So many new immigrants work in restaurants and send money home which is a major source of survival for people in poor countries. I heard an estimate of how many 3rd world people had likely died from starvation due to Western lockdowns- Can’t remember the figure, but it was shocking. The lockdowns have been devastating in so many ways. Sadly these problems are not discussed in the news — in favour if stories about poor countries being in peril from more chic issues like — “global warming”. It’s pathetic.

      1. I think that putting a mask on a child is child abuse. What I gather from this woman and Linda seems to back her up is that children should be sent to school so that they can be fed and abused.

        1. I agree — whole heartedly — about the masks. I am sickened every time I see some poor kid wesring a mask. Children should be sent to school — period. And if some schools in poor neighborhoods offer meals to prevent malnutrition, that’s all to the good. School play an important role identifying instances of child abuse in the home.

        2. @crowhouse — that’s a different issue. The topic here is the devastating toll from lockdowns and school closures.

      2. My sister is a teacher in New York City and during the lockdowns children were able to go and pick up food at their school. Many of these inner city children are poor and do rely on the food provided by the government. As a child growing up in NJ, my father lost his job And I was able to get subsidized lunches for 15 cents. I was mortified as I had to show my special card, but I was grateful for a full belly.

    2. You listened to everything she said and THIS is your summary of it?! Wow.

      When the Zombie Apocalypse arrives, please ensure you’re not in the same fox hole with any of the rest of us.

      1. Yah, no kidding – if that is someone’s walk away point then they were never really paying attention to what she was saying.

  2. Parents AREN’T QUALIFIED to be Parents!
    Our governments can only be their property…Ops, sorry, Parents.

  3. I have come to the conclusion that nukes, by making it impossible to invade, have opened the door for social and civilizational decay that would have been impossible before nukes. Before nukes, there was always a handy horde of barbarians waiting at the doorstep to take advantage of a moribund society.

    1. At the end of the vid there is a link to interview with Harry Miller – this guy just won his case against the UK police for their attack on his free speech. Worth a click.

    2. YeahWell – I agree that nukes are probably the only reason we haven’t had a third world war but as far as hordes waiting at the doorstep, have you seen the southern boarders of the US and Europe (and Canada to a lesser extent)? The invasions haven’t stopped, they just aren’t being lead by armoured personnel carriers. The results can be similar to war, just not as many deaths.

      1. Paul, you are correct, there is an ongoing invasion, just not with military hardware. People who think unlimited immigration, illegal or otherwise, are fools who are destroying their country, culture and society. This country has already ceased to be a free country as it was when I was born and raised as a free man. The people just no longer care or are not intelligent enough to see what has been happening.

  4. Western Europe, Canada and the UK is so hopeless right now. People are utterly conditioned.

    Case in point. I live near the Canadian border and Canadians are now visiting again. They all wear masks – 100%. They must know they don’t work but they wear them anyway. Here in Montana the mask mandate was tossed 12 months ago and outside medical facilities and some government brainwashing centers (public schools) no one wears the stupid things. You would think that Canadians would come here to be be free of this crap.

    1. You would think. Think of course is the operative word. Canadians are no longer capable of rational, critical thought. It has has been amazing what a flu virus can do to the intelligence of an entire population.

    2. That is true. In Canada, we have many who listen to the medical entertainers/doctors that state run media trod out for lemming guidance. These people need people to tell them what to do. For them, there is comfort in the mob/crowd.

    3. The only Canadians crossing the border are those who got jabbed, most of whom believe in the BS in the first place. That’s why the face diapers.

    4. In canuckistan it is practically impossible to make a living wage without being a part of the government system. It could be done but it is very difficult. If somebody is well off there is a 90% chance it is due to benefiting from some government scam whereas in the US doing well privately is much more likely. That is why there is very high compliance with gubmint edict no matter how stupid here in canuckistan. And you are only seeing ‘vaxxed’ canuckistani which is by far the majority but not all of us but overall canuckistan are a phenomenally stupid people group. Was funny the other day when somebody I know came to the realization the whole covid scam was planned. What an eye opener. Sadly for them it was after ‘vaxxing’.

      1. Yep … you Canucks sure know which side their bread is buttered. And they kneel before their benefactor-Government.

        Sadly, America is not far behind. Jao Bidinh’s 6uild 6ack 6etter $Trillions were going to dramatically expand the permanent leftist government workforce. Dramatically increasing the deep state to the point of eliminating any and all dissent. The entire USA is becoming California … a supermajority … permanent … leftist cabal. Get used to arrogant, aloof, “leaders” like Gavin Newsom. Your politburo elites living far better than the plebes.

    5. I find that many Canadians are sick to death of this tyrannical bullshit… but are simply too subservient and/or chickenshit to stand up against it. Sadly, history demonstrates that those who refuse to push back against tyranny are destined to die under it’s crushing weight.

  5. For anyone who had any doubts, she notes that “the epidemic is very real”. What she is saying, protect the most vulnerable and don’t lock down, are what epidemiologist Michael Osterholm said to Joe Rogan in March 2020. It is a serious virus. Osterholm predicted that the Wuhan Flu would be 10 – 15 times worse (for mortality) than seasonal flu. He was pretty much bang on (1.4% for vs 0.1%). The most vulnerable are obvious from the following stat: only “(4.5% of all deaths) occurred in patients under the age of 65 who did not have an underlying medical condition (or for which it is unknown whether they had or did not have an underlying condition).”. Why aren’t more governments listening to these world renowned epidemiologists instead of celebrities like Fauci and CDC head Rochelle P. Walensky.
