What to do when facts don't matter?
Look at the bigger picture and patiently get back to normal. Updated January 17th, 2022
In this day and time, we should envision a better world as we progress, a world we all have a saying in, we debate openly any issue to solve our differences, we learn from each other and the exchange of ideas is the gold of the land.
Almost all decisions and actions taken by the health and state authorities during the covid-19 pandemic are very totalitarian. We are in a bind because nothing we, people, do and say seem to matter to our elected officials or to our health agencies. The elected officials and public health agencies abusing their power these days, is unimaginable and unique in history. How did we get here is a discussion for another day.
What to do when facts don't matter? I have to
stand for knowledge and believes
engage to change things. Comment, write, inspire
talk when I see wrong or right doings around
correct what's illegal
remove from my life the big tech and the mainstream media that censor
accept services that are serving me
vote for my interests
adjust the political system toward my interests
manifest against oppression, e.g. vaccine mandates
nurture and cherish my rights and liberties
Even the to-dos are self explanatory, these are the notes to clarify some of them:
Standing for what I know and believe, it means I grow, learn and be honest. Being honest doesn't mean being stupid. And not standing for what I’m told to do if it doesn’t align with what I know and believe.
Smartly change things by engaging. There is no other way. For example, it can be as if someone doesn't allow comments on their articles, I do not read them. It should be two ways, always.
Things happen, so when they are noticed, they need to be acknowledged and exposed.
A law in US becomes a RESPECTED law only after is challenged in a court of law. This is not normal. A law, and consequences if broken, must be cleared up front and not taken to court to validate the law. So when a law is broken it should be known by everybody.
If completely removing the big tech or the mainstream media is not possible, then maybe 1) reduce the influence of big tech or mainstream media or 2) increase competition. The mainstream media lost their title as the fourth estate when they decided not to inform the public, but to suppress. They also forgot about their important watchdog role of the powers above: legislative, executive and judicial. They behave like puppies to the powers above.
I need to use, across the board, only the services that help me. For example, it is becoming irrational that services that have nothing to do with the vaccination, require vaccination these days. It should be as simple as, the services going far away of their business goals, should not be in business. A common statement, from these entities, is that 'vaccination' keeps everybody safe and healthy - it's a lie, they should be neutral and run their business in a politically neutral way. Unfortunately, the health agencies became too political, instead of focusing on people’s health and respecting people’s health privacy, and it makes the matter worse.
Elect only candidates that commit and stick to their election plan. There is no place for candidates that ‘forget’ what they were elected for. I’ve never heard in any election, a candidate to be asked ‘what are you going to do if you don’t respect your election promises?’. Ask the candidates to respect the Principles of Freedom.
Manifest can take many forms: support and donate to people and organizations I believe in, or be physically present at events, or ask explanations from my representatives, or peaceful demonstrations, or ...
Nurture and cherish the rights and liberties so everybody knows how important they are to me.

My secret plan to end the vaccine madness. Don't tell anyone, OK? Just between us. January 1st, 2022. One of the comments from Sarah Labance is about changing the narrative “We need to stop using their language and their newly invented definitions. It’s not a pandemic. It’s a virus that targets the elderly. It’s not social distancing. It’s isolation. It’s not a lockdown. It’s house arrest. It’s not a mandate. It’s a recommendation. AND they’re not vaccines! They’re unproven, risky and largely ineffective antiviral treatments. Or as BionTech themself calls them: experimental gene therapy. This is of huge legal significance because, without the vaccine categorization, there’s no liability shield. And without a liability shield, the global vaccine campaign would come to a grinding halt. These deadly shots would end tomorrow!“
