This is a pre-emptive Diaper Report, of a sort.
As many of you already know, my mom has dementia (possibly Alzheimers) and has been in a “memory care” facility for the past year-plus. This place isn’t the greatest place except in one very important respect. It respects my right to not participate in strange religious rites – i.e., the wearing of a holy (to some) facial garment that believers believe wards off what amounts to evil spirits that cannot be seen but which will otherwise result in the non-believer coming down with a cold.
There is perfunctory, ritualistic wearing of the Holy Garment by the staff – including one of the doctors, who almost sheepishly asked me whether it would be ok with me if he were to remove his Holy Garment for the purpose of having an intelligible conversation with me about my mom’s condition and care. His actions being of a piece with the ritual curtsy/genuflection/crossing performed by some Catholics whenever they enter a holy site. It is done mostly out of habit.
But the habit is hard to shake.
Anyhow, the relevant thing as regards this report is that the staff has never said a word to me about my obvious lack of faith – as I do not and will not wear the Holy Rag for anyone. Not even my mom (who, I hasten to add, would approve heartily were she in her right mind) for I will not pretend to believe in something I know to be as darkly evil as Satan himself, who is perhaps the ultimate propagator of the “masking” that led to “vaccinating” – which, in turn, has led to the deaths of an appalling number of people.
And that’s only so far.
God only knows how many will die as a direct result of having been “vaccinated.” Which many of them went along with in order to no longer have to “mask” in order to be allowed to live. There is no room for quibbling as regards “masking.” It is a symbol and enabler of the worst evil to spread across the globe, ever.
Previous evils were regional. The Soviet Union could not impose evil on the West. The Greater German Reich was not in a position to sonderbehandlung people who lived outside the boundaries of the Greater German Reich. Pol Pot, Mao . . . none of them were able to spread their evil worldwide, much as they no doubt hoped to.
But “masking” was worldwide.
It spread like a Stage 5 cancer throughout the body. And that spread was enabled by those who knuckled under and wore the repellent – the god-damned – things, for the sake of not wanting any trouble . . . just like Ned Beatty in Deliverance.
I like to think of myself and others who never once wore the god-damned thing as playing the part of Burt Reynolds with his compound bow. That is how you end “trouble.”
Which I may be dealing with shortly.
The place where my mom currently is has other issues which I won’t go into because they aren’t relevant except insofar as it may become necessary to move my mom into a new place. And I suspect that place may not be as tolerant of unbelief as the current place, which seems to be almost an oasis of tolerance, insofar as anything connected with the “health” apparat is concerned.
It seems to be the case that most doctors will not see you if you do not “mask” – even in the absence of any “mandate” from the government that you must. There is no longer any worry about a Hut! Hut! Hutting! for not “masking.” But the medical apparat nonetheless clings to its religion with the tenacity of a Torquemada. Perhaps because the apparat has boxed itself into a corner. It cannot stop “masking” because in a very real way that would confessing that “masks” do not “work” – at least not in the sense that they prevent people from getting or spreading colds. And that admission would be a confession that they were wrong – which is something religious figures are loath to ever concede. The Science must be regarded like the Torah – and never questioned.
Taking off the “masks” would amount to just that – and so the white-coated priests of this religious movement will probably never take them off – much less abide anyone they have power over doing so.
Which brings me back to the situation with my mom and her possibly moving to a new place that will be under the control of less tolerant priests, who may tell me I cannot enter – and therefore, cannot visit my mom – unless I pretend to believe in their sick religion by putting on the sickening symbol of it.
Which I won’t do. Period. Ever. Even if it means I never see my mom again. For I know that she knows why. Understands. And most of all, approves.
She and I have had our differences over the years but on one thing we have always agreed and that is to never agree to tolerate evil, for any reason. For by doing so, one only empowers evil.
And that may be an even worse thing than the evil, itself.

Thought I’d post some good news on the Diaper report – Over the last few days we had a couple people over, wifes cousins and then some of my wifes sisters in-laws. Both families from Canada, and both rather keen on the Covid Kabuki. Though there was no masking at my house there were a couple discussions on the topic. I suspect the kids also had chats on the topic. When I came home today – my younger daughter had stuck a sign on the door to her room “PLEASE DON’T WEAR A MASK” (with a picture of a fairly demented guy with a mask looped around huge ears). Was so proud!!!
I’m sorry to hear about your mother and the difficulty that you have caring for her as you continue to navigate the COVID insanity.
A little over a year ago, my father was killed by the COVID medical monopoly malpractice advocated by Fauci and Birx. He went to the hospital for a fall, tested positive for COVID, whereupon he was treated for COVID irrespective of why he was there. His family was not permitted to visit him. Two of my sisters who are medical professionals (pharmacist, nurse) were on the phone every day with the doctors and nurses, but nothing changed. The hospital workers dehydrated my father, damaged his functioning kidneys, and that set off a chain of events that ultimately resulted in his early death. His lungs were clear, but his death certificate came back with “COVID pneumonia.” When I complained to the funeral home, I was told that all the death certificates come back that way.
These people are monsters. They care not one wit for us or our families. They follow rules that make them money. They will mask us with filthy rags, jab us with poison, treat us with drugs that kill us, and collect huge sums to do it. Both political parties looked on with very few objections. I will never trust the medical establishment again.
Some people tell me things will change with the Rs take control. I scoff at that. Nothing will change until the people in charge are forcibly removed from their positions of power and are held accountable for their actions.
Hi Howard,
Thank you. And yes – they are monsters. Some mindless, others deliberate. All of them monsters, nonetheless. It is why I refuse to just pretend nothing happened and let’s move on. Never forget. Ever.
‘His lungs were clear, but his death certificate came back with “COVID pneumonia.”’ — Howard
Now, with a lag, the toll taken by these monsters is tallied:
‘Health officials say the drop in life expectancy from 2019 to 2021 — falling by 2.7 years to 76.1 – is now the country’s worst two-year decline on record since 1923, according to provisional estimates published by the CDC.
“The declines in life expectancy since 2019 are largely driven by the pandemic,” the agency said in a news release. “COVID-19 deaths contributed to nearly three-fourths, or 74%, of the decline from 2019 to 2020, and 50% of the decline from 2020 to 2021.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-life-expectancy-drops-worst-two-year-decline-in-a-century-covid-pandemic/
When hospitals are PAID to categorize deaths as covid-related, the data is hopelessly polluted.
Well-documented excess death analyses from multiple countries — US, Germany, Israel and others — show that excess deaths are temporally correlated with the onset of vaccination campaigns.
And excess deaths are continuing in 2022, even during lulls between successively less-lethal covid waves.
Driving down life expectancy by 2.7 years: congratulations, Dr Fauci-Mengele. You’re a depraved genius.
They are blaming ice car exhaust for injection deaths now…lol..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkpZI1kBmOw
But……EV’s pollute more so blame EV’s and ban them
Emissions CO2 per km. …. the ice Golf is cleaner then an EV
The Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion has emissions of 85g CO2 per km. it is even cleaner (less emissions) than a Toyota Prius or an EV….
A current-model large EV car with a battery produced and charged in an average European Union country emits about 88 grams of CO2 per kilometer,
You and I view these damned muzzles exactly the same way Eric.
Thank you for keeping me sane the past few years.
Every time I see a muzzled little kid around here I get so enraged.
Thanks, David!
We can take pride in spreading sanity. And of knowing we didn’t buckle to the bullshit.
We will deal with our own maskholes / masknazis at the wife’s neurology appointment later today. In addition to being fucking stupid, it’s just tiring. Everyone there is terminally ill, getting covid is the least of their concerns.
This is terrible, Mike –
Best wishes to you and your wife. I hope it goes ok…
Thanks. We’re just characterizing the decline is all. Not much can be done. Like watching a slow motion train wreck.
One thing that deeply troubles me. One thing I’ve realised is due to all this Kabuki one thing they are doing is separating people, and making all their means of communication via the likes of say zoom or WhatsApp – all very controlled platforms and removing all face to face meeting and discussion. This year, made the choice to venture out to Pakistan to see family after a couple years. I last travelled at the “height” of the cold (sorry covid) when apparently everyone was dying – just the government hadnt put in restrictions. So the day airlines opened up, I booked tickets for a long stay there. Unfortunately now restrictions are in place and Pakistan may be one of the few countries where you need a Jab to enter. Orcourse me and my family are not, and godwilling never will be. But as Pakistani’s do, a loophole was found via a route where no questions were asked (Turkey) and we went. We did have to upload proof of a jab to an app. For which lets say a “replica” was sufficient.
Now Pakistan is strange in that on paper they are officially very strict with the Jab. Yet in the real world, nobody seems to care. Many have been jabbed (unfortunately), but just don’t care. If you go to a mall for example, some poor kid will mumble to “wear a mask” which you would just ignore. But nothing more really. Infact, there are numerous avenues to say be “jabbed” without actually getting the jab. Im starting to think, maybe this is the spirit we should have in the west….
Christianity is functionally dead in the West but I was surprised to see how hard the Muslim countries fell inline with the con. I would have thought they would put more trust in their faith to protect them over satanic man made gene altering bullshit. Isn’t gene therapy by definition altering Giod’s creation? Oh well, guess not!
The vaxxed rate in Muslim countries is low, they were way smarter, Pakistan last data I saw was about 3%, the G7 is reported as up to 80%.
Nicaragua was one of the best, zero percent vaxxed, they booted all the nazi needle bastards out…zero percent and zero percent problems….
but the muslim and christian churches did go along with the globalists reset, a big mistake….
Hi anon – where did you see this data ? Unfortunately the covid jab acceptance rate has been much higher in Pakistan especially after they put on a number of strict restrictions on the unjabbed. Sure – it’s hard to know how many are fake (and it’s easy to get a fake ), but the acceptance especially amongst the intellectual elite, upper class crowd was very disappointing for me. We were the same country who didn’t believe shit the media said, and experienced the lies first hand during the post 9/11 era.
Yet today they all accepted and got behind the Rona con.
Mark- I too was surprised and rather disappointed by this . Always thought Pakistan was the place I can go and be left alone if when I got fed up – but unfortunately it seems that’s changing it seems. The sad reality is – just like a politician and priest can be bribed, so too can a mullah, and once you get them on board, it’s much easier to con the rest. It really started with the Saudi Mufti’s pushing it – then the rest of the Muslim world fell in line, with a large number of Muslims worldwide. Unfortunately many people are illiterate in terms of religion (and scientific matter) so when a mullah pushes something they follow. That said there is hope – the ease with which you can get a fake which is acceptable at the highest level… maybe that’s the way to do it in the world today.
Hey Eric, Best of luck managing the the healthcare for your mom. cant be an easy one, but hope it works out for the better, for both of you.
Thanks, Nasir –
We’ll see. I should be (attempting to) visit the new facility at some point over the next week or two. I expect I will not be allowed within unless I perform the Sacred Rite…
Hi Eric my mom had the same and was put in hospice care the last six months or so. I was able to manage home care before that. If hospice is available its fantastic. Her body finally gave out right before the Big Con, she had checked long before. It’s heartbreaking and the worst way to lose someone. Prayers for her and you.
Eric
During the last year, I have needed hospital stays and was very thankful for the visits by family. If my wife or sons refused to visit due to the hospital mask policy, I would have been devastated. One of the most evil things done during the lockdowns was preventing hospital patients from having visitors. When sick in the hospital at your most vulnerable, you need an advocate. I would wear a hazmat suit if it was required to be at the side of my wife or any family member in the hospital when they truly need a champion.
You are wrong here. This insane political moment will pass, the evil you speak of is preventing you from doing what is right. Visit your mother, mask or not.
The insane political moment that’s gone on for years due to compliance with evil nonsense will not be appeased by capitulation. It will be eliminated by pushback.
Don’t confuse what you would do/prefer with what others should do or want.
I agree with Sicilian. As for receiving visitors, there’s always a phone call or Skype/Zoom.
I have had mixed results at medical facilities. At one, I simply hung the proffered mask from one ear until it eventually fell off. No one questioned it. At my local clinic, “I’m exempt” works just fine when a gatekeeper objects to my bare face. Of course you have to think through some answers for an ugly confrontation, but fortunately nobody gets ugly. Is virus fatigue setting in? Hopefully! Meanwhile, be brave.
will digital ID’s list your pure blood status? or refusal to mask?
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is actively promoting digital IDs.
digital IDs. = mark of the beast
In a recent piece for The American Conservative, I asked the question, “Why are Democrats pushing digital IDs?” Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.) first introduced the Improving Digital Identity Act in 2020, but his idea never gathered momentum. Foster decided to reintroduce the measure.
Foster isn’t the only Democrat pushing digital IDs. He’s just one of many. Which begs the question, why are a number of politicians on the left so interested in these problematic IDs?
digital IDs are closely associated with social credit systems. When one reads the words “social credit system,” their mind automatically jumps to communist China, where 1.4 billion people are constantly monitored and graded. Those who fall short are banned from booking flights and enrolling their children in certain schools.
They become prisoners, unable to relocate elsewhere, and unable to give their children a better life. Nothing good comes from a social credit system. People are forced to live in a constant state of fear, constantly checking their scores to see if they are considered “good” or “bad” by those in charge.
From a globalist takeover perspective, as the writer Tim Hinchcliffe puts it, digital identity schemes are a must. Although there will never be a good time to introduce digital IDs (at least for us, the citizens), they appear to be unavoidable and inescapable. They are coming. They will play a central role in this world—and the next one.
In the metaverse—the next iteration of the internet that will see humans inhabit the digital unknown—digital identities will play a starring role. Do you know who else will play a starring role? The WEF. That’s who.
The elites in Davos appear very eager to govern the immersive virtual world, this 3D representation of the internet. The metaverse includes the use of virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. And if the WEF has its way, it will also include the use of digital identities.
Canada, supposedly a country interested in advancing human rights, wants to introduce a federal Digital Identity Program now.
Canada Partners With WEF to Unleash Digital IDs—Is the US Next?

Is fauci the new parcelsus? …..does he belong to the church of satan?
Parecelsus is the founder of our modern allopathic medicine, he is big pharma’s hero. and probably fauci’s hero…..lol
paracelsus founded our modern allopathic medicine practiced everywhere today. It is based on using poisonous drugs and injections. he is also a hero in the church of satan.
church of satan
On their website…their motto:
We Satanists are thus our own “Gods,” and as beneficent “deities” we can offer love to those who deserve it and deliver our wrath, harm upon those who seek to cause us harm or who don’t agree with us.
they used to practice…. “Phase One Satanism” i.e., group rituals, blaspheming Christianity
The rituals for the first year were largely intended as cathartic blasphemies against Christianity. Many of the elements were consistent with the reports of Satanic worship from the famous writings of diabolists, such as the description in Joris-Karl Huysman’s La Bas (translated into English as Down There).
A nude female altar was always used, the accompanying music was a series of corruptions of church hymns, the cross was turned upside down, the Lord’s Prayer was recited backwards, mock holy wafers were consecrated by insertion in a naked woman’s vagina, whiskey was used instead of wine for Christ’s blood, holy water was substituted with seminal fluid in milk, and the names of the infernal deities were invoked instead of the Christian God.
Remember the masks?
There was zero science behind masking, it was all fake science, but the masks were very important for another reason………..
mask wearing is linked historically to occult activities. these masks are very important…..
Wearing the mask is a powerful occult symbol indicating your submission to another power In other words, the wearing of a mask represents an occult transformation.
participating in the occult is supposed to be very dangerous, you are leaving yourself open to demons, maybe that is part of the intended harm behind the whole bat germ bs, they are forcing you to do this, forced and dragged into an occult practice,
the satanists won’t leave you alone, you will be forced into their satanic death cult…..

It’s long, but here, Jeff Tucker interviews Dr. Paul Alexander, who was hired by the Trump administration in April 2020.
Alexander says that after his public criticism of Fauci over school closures and the harm that masks were causing, he was warned: “They’re going to cut your balls off.”
You don’t screw with the satanists running big pharma and the satanic based medical system
So this is what happened to Shinzo Abe who used to be japan’s prime minister………..

Japan threw the free masons out, then they threw out the christian missionaries, now are they throwing out the satanists?
modern injection pushing allopathic medicine was founded by a satanist, paracelsus, it uses poisonous drugs and injections….he invented it…..he was a practicing satanist….
japan, one of the only sane nations?
Japan seems to embrace “Japan for the Japanese”, not allowing their homeland to be overrun with “migrants” from shitholes.
Very likely they fear abandoning the mask for other than “health” related reason. They have been a party to mass murder, and any backing off might be perceived as an admission of guilt. If not by law, at least by perception. I don’t care if doctors still require masks, since I will not partake of their “services” ever again. They have proven themselves untrustworthy, and I will not put myself in a position where they might abuse me, again. At least not while I’m conscious.
Any provider that has not been outspoken against the evil tragedy, is a party to it, and I will not give them access to my body. It may shorten my life. So be it. I’d rather take my chances.
Eric, I went through some of what you are going through with my late father. Though he never got to the point he could not care of himself, his cognitive and physical decline throughout his 80s convinced me I do not wish to live that long. He even said once, after turning 90, “Looking back, I’m not so sure taking really good care of yourself (which he always did) is such a good idea”. He died a year later.
@ John K
Gawd I wish more people felt the way you do about the evil, tyrannical & self-serving medical establishment; esp the majority who are really just quacks in white smocks and are wrongly refered as “healers” (barf). Even today it amazes me that so many naive & ignorant people along with their evil accomplices in the govt & elsewhere continue to put these frauds on a high pedestal as if it was still the 1950’s. As if you could even trust them with your lives! I’m sorry, but anyone still holding on to this delusion deserves whatever unfortunate outcome they get.
Btw, that was an insightful observation by your father. His life experiences taught him well.
Hi John
Big pharma, the occult satanic connection:
Paracelsus is the founder of our modern allopathic medicine, he is big pharma’s hero.
Did you know that the “father” of modern allopathic medicine was an occultist?
He was a worshiper of Satan, he is also a hero in the church of satan.
paracelsus founded our modern allopathic medicine practiced everywhere today. It is based on using poisonous drugs and injections.
pharmacon = poison, pharmakeia = sorcery, witch craft, witches
pharmaceutical = drugs made from petrochemicals (oil).
This system of administering poisonous drugs worldwide is a trillion dollar industry and the medical merchants of the earth profit greatly from it. They love the money it produces and ignore the many lives it destroys. Millions worship this satanic medical system.
In a June 2010 report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, authors said that in looking over records that spanned from 1976 to 2006 they found that out of 62 million death certificates, 25 million deaths were coded as having occurred in a hospital setting due to medication errors.
The total number of deaths due to the American modern medical system of drugging, unnecessary surgeries, infections, medical errors, etc., is nearly 800,000 people per year!
This is more than people who die from heart disease with over 600,000 deaths per year and cancer with over 500,000 deaths per year. – articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/ archive/2003/11/26/death-by-medicine-part-one.aspx
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 100,000 Americans die from reactions to prescription drugs each year, making this the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.
The death toll from ILLEGAL drugs stands at 10,000.
Kennedy quote on big pharma
He mentioned another reason not to trust blindly any company currently producing vaccines in the United States. Each one of the four vaccine producers “is a convicted serial felon: Glaxo, Sanofi, Pfizer, Merck.”
“In the past 10 years, just in the last decade, those companies have paid 35 billion dollars in criminal penalties, damages, fines, for lying to doctors, for defrauding science, for falsifying science, for killing hundreds of thousands of Americans knowingly.”
“It requires a cognitive dissonance,” Kennedy commented, “for people who understand the criminal corporate cultures of these four companies to believe that they’re doing this in every other product that they have, but they’re not doing it with vaccines.”
Knowing this why would you inject yourself with their deadly injections or take their poisonous drugs?
Hey Eric,
Here’s hoping you can find a new place for your mom that will still let you visit sans Kabuki. My dad died from Alzheimer’s and it just sucks, no way around it. He would occasionally recognize me or my sister but was mostly out of it till he passed. Sending prayers your way that you will find a good place for your mom.
Hat tip for you guys and gals; who will not, under any circumstances bow to nonsense and evil. I hope and pray your mom gets to go somewhere good and reasonable Eric.
We were able to see a real life world wide Milgram experiment over a two year span.
The medical professions were elevated to a false pedestal of hero worship not unlike police and military personnel. For them to just admit being dupes and give up the hero status would be worse than death in their tiny little enslaved minds.
Many people lack purpose and meaning in their lives. Once they were given purpose that was world wide and larger than life they will not easily let it go. Hell even the guy at the mini mart running the cash register was a hero just for ringing you up! They had to lie to themselves and everyone else during the scamdemic and now they don’t want to get off the ride. We may see a reckoning toward the medical workers similar to anti military and police sentiment or worse. Many of them knew better or should have!
I personally trust allopathic Rockefeller medicine slightly less than the average politician to keep me healthy and well. Barring major trauma surgery I may never step into a doctors office again. I’ve never been big on routine checkups or doctor visits for (health care) anyway so its not a big leap.
Sorry about your mom Eric.
Its a horrible thing, dementia/Alzhemers, My dad went through it and doesn’t remember a thing. He is like a hollow shell of himself just waiting to die. I haven’t seen him in over 2 years. His caregiver, my stepmom won’t let anyone near them not fully vexed and willing to cover their faces. They have both had covid twice and still don’t get it. In some ways I don’t mind. I prefer to remember our conversations when his brain still had a spark.
My mom is still autonomous but her memory and cognitive function is beginning to fade. We had to take her DL as her vision is going. Hoping to arrange for her to live out her days in her own home with daily care in the future.
My father died of Alzheimer’s. I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this with your mother. Hopefully you will not be too hard on yourself over it and that you have support of family. The time ahead will certainly be difficult for you.
I am so sorry about your mother. My mother was in assisted living for five years so I empathize over the stress and challenges family members face in dealing with these places. Have you looked into board and care? These are smaller facilities located in residential homes. I visited several and was about to put down a deposit right before my mother passed. Her assisted living was giving us a lot of trouble over her deteriorating condition. You are really at their mercy on care issues. I liked the idea of a more casual and less institutional atmosphere. The ones I visited offered memory care services.
My mil also has had dementia for years and is at home cared for by her daughter. And a paid caregiver. This care takes up most of her time. Dementia is a tough situation no matter what so I hope you are able to find a good place that works for you and your mom.
Mornin’ Eric!
Wow- Scary prospect- but their may be hope. As of late, it appears that even my eye doctor’s place (The eye doctor I have been barred from seeing for the past 2.5 years because I won’t play the Kabuki) is buckling on the Kabuki.
This place had been a practitioner of the FULL Kabuki. According to their website, after you sign-in, they take the pen you used and sterilize it before putting it back out for re-use! So, if even they have finally relented on this nonsense, I would think there’s a good chance that we may be in a period of respite, until the next ‘pandemic’ comes around.
If not..hey, tell ’em that you “identify” as a magician, and that you’re wearing a mask that you’ve rendered invisible. (Oh…wait…mental illness is only pandered to when it involves sex…)
Best wishes for your mom, and your continuing ability to see her! (I know what it’s like- in addition to the obvious, I also fear my mother having to go to the hospi’; for the same reason)
