Ehrlich was supported by a group of wealthy socialists known as &ldquo;The Club of Rome.&rdquo;&nbsp; His book,&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 15px;">The Population Bomb</em>, was incredibly successful, selling millions in just a couple of years, warning that the entire world will soon be destroyed by capitalism unless it is ended NOW and &ldquo;severe&rdquo; regulatory measures are taken.</p><p style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(43, 27, 23); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">The first article displayed by CEI was from the November 17, 1967&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 15px;">Salt Lake Tribune</em>&nbsp;announcing that Professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford said the &ldquo;time of famines&rdquo; is upon us and will be &ldquo;disastrous&rdquo; by 1975 because of over-population.&nbsp; Such talk was a resurrection of the hoary, thoroughly-discredited Malthusianism of the nineteenth century, cloaked in the words of &ldquo;modern science.&rdquo;&nbsp; Birth control may have to be made &ldquo;involuntary, said Ehrlich, and accompanied by &ldquo;putting sterilization agents into staple foods and drinking water.&rdquo;&nbsp; The Catholic church needs to be &ldquo;pressured&rdquo;

Of course, the same can be said of the U.S. economy; it&rsquo;s all a matter of degree.&nbsp; As Robert Higgs has said, the American economic system is a system of &ldquo;participatory fascism,&rdquo; by which he meant a combination of economic fascism and democracy instead of dictatorship.</p><p style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(43, 27, 23); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">After claiming that the &ldquo;Fourth Industrial Revolution&rdquo; in the form of the &ldquo;digitalization&rdquo; of just about everything is inevitable, and arguing that that means there is a need for the most centralized government the world has ever known, Klaus and his associates drag out the same tired, old socialist platitudes that Leftists have been promoting for generations as the alleged answers to all of society&rsquo;s problems.&nbsp; They advocate shutting down more and more of the world economy with more lockdowns (destructionism); a huge expansion of the catastrophically-failed welfare state with the unlimited printing of money by central banks in order to hand out &ldquo;universal basic income&rdquo; to everyone; the eventual abolition of beef in order to fight &ldquo;climate change&rdquo; allegedly caused by cow flatulence; the abolition of virtually all other kinds of meat, replacing it with grass and insects as part of the average diet (presumably not&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 15px;">their</em>&nbsp;diet, however); the abolition of the energy industries and their replacement with windmills and solar panels; communal housing, Soviet style; the &ldquo;leveling&rdquo; of wage differences by regulating labor markets essentially null and void, which would create communistic chaos; and the effective nationalization of whatever is left of private society with a 400% increase in taxation (for starters).</p><p style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(43, 27, 23); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">There is supposed to be no opposition to this recipe for totalitarian utopia because it is all being done in the name of &ldquo;equity and inclusion&rdquo; (the mating call of Leftists everywhere), &ldquo;sustainability,&rdquo; and &ldquo;the common good.&rdquo;&nbsp; To oppose this latest proposal for a totalitarian world order is, therefore, to be an enemy of society.&nbsp; The &ldquo;common good before individual good,&rdquo; by the way, was also the explicitly-stated theme of the 1920 Nazi Party Platform.<a href="https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/03/thomas-dilorenzo/the-great-nonsense-of-the-great-reset/#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17" style="font-size: 15px;

<p><img alt="Tyler Durden's Photo" height="40" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/36131/master/" style="margin-right: 15px; float: left;" width="40"></p>
<div style="font-size: 1.15rem;">BY TYLER DURDEN</div></div><div style="font-size: 0.85rem;">WEDNESDAY, MAR 03, 2021 - 19:20</div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><div style="margin-bottom: 30px;"><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;"><em>Submitted by Luke Eastwood</em></p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">We are all aware of the environnmental crisis that humanity (and all life on Earth) faces, characterised by the term &lsquo;climate change&rsquo;. Much of the current thinking in the scientific community is promoting the idea that our planet is rapidly warming due to excess CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas produced by humans in the last few centuries, and the last 70 years in particular.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">While there is a very strong and hard to deny case to suggest that human activity is the main cause of environmental destruction, the premise that it is due primarily to CO2 emissions is beginning to look somewhat flawed. I am well aware that the previous sentence is likely to draw a lot of negative attention and criticism, with accusations of &lsquo;climate denier&rsquo; being thrown at me. However, the situation is not that simple as to be a case of &lsquo;global warming&rsquo; being the main influence or no influence at all.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">The reality of the situation is complex. In my opinion the main drivers of the&nbsp; environmental crisis are many, but put in simple terms &ndash; destruction of wild habitats, pollution due to industrialisation, over-use of soils, over-population, erosion of soils leading to desertification or barren, infertile landscapes, monoculture agriculture and climate fluctuations. Notice that I did not use the term &lsquo;climate change&rsquo; which in the current scientific norm implies warming.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">While the planet has undoubtedly warmed up, in part due to human activity and CO2 production, the current popular thinking completely ignores historical CO2 levels beyond the last millennium and also the primary input on temperatures on this planet and all eight of the planets in this solar system. That input, although largely ignored at the moment, is of course our sun, which on average generates 3.8 x 1026 Joules (energy) per second. Human energy usage per year is around 5 x 1020 Joules, which is about 1 million times less than the Sun produces during 1 second! In fact, in the whole of human history we have used less energy that the Sun produces in that 1 second.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">So, given the above, it stand to reason that the energy of the Sun must have a significant effect on the energy available on this planet and the heat energy (temperature) that is captured by it, as it rotates around the Sun. If we look at the history of Earth, particularly through the use of ice-core samples, we can see that the temperatures on our planet follow a very distinct pattern. On a macro level this can be observed as a huge cycle of glacials (ice-ages) and interglacials, with the ice ages lasting many times longer than the interglacial (warm) periods.&nbsp; We are currently in an interglacial, which began approximately 11,500 years ago and it is estimated that it will end some time within the next 50,000 years.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">On a micro level, the Sun undergoes cycles of around 11 years&nbsp; known as the solar magnetic activity cycle, which has been studied and recorded by humans for approximately 400 years. During each cycle the number of sunspots peaks and falls in a recognisable pattern. However, this pattern of approx. 11 years is itself part of a much longer solar pattern of solar minimums and solar maximums. For instance the Medieval maximum (grand solar maximum) lasted from 1100-1250 (warm period) and the famous Maunder Minimum (grand solar minimum) lasted from 1645-1715 (cold period). The later was known as a mini&nbsp; ice age due the particularly drastic drop in global temperatures that affected crop-growth and led to bitter winters for a period of 70 years.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;"><img alt="" height="208" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/36130/master/" width="500"></p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">Scientists that study the sun are well aware of these periodic cycles both on the 11 year scale and on the larger scale of 70&ndash;100 years, known as the Gleissberg cycle. We have just finished a solar maximum cycle of around 70 years and are now heading into a both a new 11 year cycle and a new grand solar minimum cycle that will reach its lowest (coldest) point some time between 2030 and 2040.&nbsp; You don&rsquo;t need to take my word for it &ndash; this has been confirmed by NASA and by the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA). NOAA predictions of sunspot and radio flux appears to show a &lsquo;full-blown&rsquo; grand solar minimum (GSM) which will last from the late-2020s to at least the 2040s.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">This means that the coming solar minimum is going to be not only a grand solar minimum, but perhaps the worst one since the Maunder Minimum in the 1600s. One would expert this to have been front-page news, but outside of the scientific community this information is virtually unheard of and little understood. One must ask &ndash; why is this the case? The simple answer to this question is that the solar predictions destroy the current scientific and cultural narrative of &lsquo;Climate Change&rsquo; in the form of warming.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">There will indeed be climate change in the coming decades, but for the next 10 to 40 years it is going to get colder, not warmer! The same thing will happen on the 7 other planets in this solar system, because the main factor affecting planetary temperatures is the activity of the Sun. Given that so much time, effort and money has been invested in &lsquo;global warming&rsquo; as a premise for change in how human society is run, it is very much an &ldquo;inconvenient truth&rdquo; that is beginning to arrive just at the time when we are beginning to take more affirmative action on environmental issues.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">The controversial news that the Earth (and all 7 other planets) will cool down in the next 10-40 years is politically highly inconvenient and that is why it is being kept quiet. Getting rid of fossil fuels, caring for our environment, lowering industrial output, ending industrial farming and reducing livestock, plus a gradual reduction in the human population are all excellent goals.&nbsp; Unfortunately the rationale for doing this, that has been sold to the public, is most likely entirely misguided.&nbsp; The net effect of this false premise may well be that environmentalists and main-stream public scientists will look like fools by the end of this decade. The cooling of planet Earth may well be seen as justification to abandon environmental concerns and reform of our economic systems, which would be a terrible tragedy.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">In order to avoid this highly likely total embarrassment, world governments and the scientific community need to admit that the coming dip in solar energy output is going to lead to the cooling of our planet for at least 2 decades, possibly 4 or 5 or even 7 decades!&nbsp; This is not conspiracy, this is not mis-information or propaganda &ndash; this is proven, verifiable fact which can be validated by current solar observation, previous observation of sun cycles for 400 years and ice-core samples stretching back millions of years.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">As someone who has been involved in the environmental movement since I was 16, when I joined a conservation group at college, I am very concerned about how this plays out. If the public feels that they have been lied to it may lead to a backlash and a disinterest in environmental issues. The reasons I outlined at the beginning of this article are more than sufficient for humanity to change its modus operandi. One does not need to concoct highly improbable narratives about the world &lsquo;burning up&rsquo; within decades to justify environmental activism. In fact the coming GSM is likely to produce similar negative effects to predicted &lsquo;global warming&rsquo;, such as habitat loss, loss of farming land, a drop in food availability, migration, social unrest and possibly other problems too.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em;"><strong>It is time that the whole &lsquo;climate change&rsquo; theory was re-assessed and the known solar activity cycle as observed by NOAA and NASA taken into account.&nbsp;</strong>To fail to do so is total folly and only creates another problem, that will come back to haunt us if the grand solar minimum is ignored.&nbsp; We do need to take better care of our world and learn to live far more harmoniously within it, but we need to base our actions on good science and not on misleading or inaccurate information.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/what-lies-ahead-grand-solar-minimum?utm_campaign=&amp;utm_content=Zerohedge%3A+The+Durden+Dispatch&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=zh_newsletter" target="_blank">SOURCE</a></p></div></div>]]></description>

It&rsquo;s an embarrassment</p><div style="font-size: 0.8125rem; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-style: normal;">&nbsp;</div></blockquote><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">This rich, sophisticated, technologically advanced and altruistic country of ours is the only G7 nation raiding vaccine supplies intended for &ldquo;developing countries.&rdquo; As some droll Twitter feed offered, it&rsquo;s as if the many-mansioned denizens of Toronto&rsquo;s Forest Hill were making raids on the food banks, and soaking up all the Canadian Tire money.</p></div></div><div style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><div style="margin-left: 294px;"><h2 style="margin: 1rem -1px 0.5rem; font-size: 2rem;">Article content continued</h2><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">This government hoards any real details about what vaccines are here, how many are &ldquo;secured&rdquo; on paper only, and what they have promised to pay for them, as a miser hoards gold. Every press briefing on this most important of concerns is a dance of evasion, platitude, confused projection and sometimes just pure ignorance of what is actually the case.</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">They are the most deliberately obfuscatory, opaque, access-of-information-allergic administration under the democratic sun.</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">One year into COVID our venerated House of Commons is a disembowelled, non-functioning, neglected wreck. The targeted disrespect of the absolute and central symbol and instrument of our democracy has no parallel. No &ldquo;minority&rdquo; government has ever operated with the smug insouciance and patented, virtue-perfumed arrogance towards the Commons as the Trudeau government. This is, when we step back, their biggest sin.</p><p><img alt="" height="340" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/35377/master/" width="564"> <span>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holds a press conference outside his home at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa on Feb. 2, 2021, to provide an update on the COVID-19 pandemic.</span>&nbsp;<span>PHOTO BY SEAN KILPATRICK/THE CANADIAN PRESS</span></p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">Since 1867 no prime minister has abandoned the House of Commons and downgraded its significance for so long a period and for such obviously self-centred and political opportunistic reasons. It is so much easier, so much safer, so much more convenient &mdash; to walk from the bedroom to the one-printer office and mail in platitudes and arias of evasion via Zoom.</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">What other government has parted ways with a governor general, and to top it off, a governor general brought in by the world&rsquo;s No. 1 &ldquo;male feminist&rdquo; as a role model for young women and girls? The same male-feminist who conveniently loses all his top-performing female ministers. Someone should do a &ldquo;gender analytics&rdquo; study on Justin Trudeau&rsquo;s cabinet.</p></div></div><div style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><div style="margin-left: 294px;"><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">Not to worry. It has lost a finance minister over ethics charges during the mightiest spending binge since the Big Bang. An attorney general, the prime guardian of our rule of law, was hounded out because she would not bend the rule of law. The most qualified and respected woman, a doctor of medicine no less (in other words a&nbsp;<em>real</em>&nbsp;doctor) could not abide staying in so carelessly unethical a cabinet. Thus, at the very time Canada would have wished the most competent person to deal with a once-in-a-hundred years medical emergency, Dr. Jane Philpott is not even in the government.</p><blockquote style="font-size: 2rem; font-style: italic; margin-top: 2rem; margin-bottom: 2rem;"><p style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">No prime minister has abandoned the House of Commons for so long a period</p><div style="font-size: 0.8125rem; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-style: normal;">&nbsp;</div></blockquote><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">Meantime Seamus O&rsquo;Regan, the Trudeau cabinet&rsquo;s favourite nomad &mdash; he takes up and puts down portfolios with the &ldquo;greatest of ease,&rdquo; leaving no impression behind as he goes &mdash; burbles on, during a pandemic, about planting two billion trees. Imagine, two billion. We only have about 300 billion already! Priorities I guess. Repeat after me the holy incantation: climate change, climate change, climate change. It&rsquo;s better than a vaccine.</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">We have two hostages in the tyrannical torture houses of Chinese prisons. Those poor, suffering and tormented men must truly have been uplifted &mdash; if any news ever reaches them &mdash; to learn that their government, during a world pandemic, was collaborating with the Chinese government to &ldquo;jointly develop a COVID-19 vaccine.&rdquo; Remember the line from Casablanca &mdash; &ldquo;Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world &hellip;&rdquo; &mdash; and Insert &ldquo;countries&rdquo; for gin joints. Of all the countries in all the world why did the Trudeau government pick &hellip;. China? Incompetence can&rsquo;t cover it. We need some term that speaks of dedicated and determined, merciless and staggering wrong-headedness: the purblind leading the purblind.Article content continued</p></div></div><div style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><div style="margin-left: 294px;"><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">We have had no budget in two years. We have spent more than any other government, by far, in our history. We have no idea where all the money has gone. The auditor general has been denied the resources to even keep track of a portion of it. There is no coherence, or trust, between the majority of the premiers and the prime minister. We have been offered occasional delights, like the celebrated comic opera of the WE brothers and the (temporary) $43-million gift to them to administer half a billion dollars of your money.</p><blockquote style="font-size: 2rem; font-style: italic; margin-top: 2rem; margin-bottom: 2rem;"><p style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">We have no idea where all the money has gone</p><div style="font-size: 0.8125rem; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-style: normal;">&nbsp;</div></blockquote><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">The Liberals have given far more time and dedicated energy to the Derek Sloan affair (whatever that was) than the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, and the emergent threat of Alberta leaving the Confederation. (Query for serious panel discussion: Is Canada safe from Bidenism?) Alberta groans while the Trudeau government spends over $36 million for &ldquo;stay-at-home chairs&rdquo; for its civil service.</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">The country is in an economic coma. The House of Commons is a movie set. We are shamed in the international community. Contracts on COVID are all Top Secret. There is zero reliability on any projection made by a minister or the prime minister on where we are on vaccines and distribution. Rideau Hall is shortly to be listed on Airbnb. Farmers have been hit by fuel and carbon taxes. Newfoundland teeters on bankruptcy. The West has never felt so far out of things. I could go on.</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">Is this what was meant when the rosy words were first pronounced: Canada&rsquo;s back?</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">To calm yourself, however, there is always this: Climate change.</p><p style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">Climate change.

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4B0082;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">Marcel Sternberger - Marya Paskin - Reunion Most Miraculous&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4B0082;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="509" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/35116/master/" width="843"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Marcel Sternberger was a methodical man of nearly 50, with bushy white hair, guileless brown eyes, and the bouncing enthusiasm of a czardas dancer of his native Hungary. He always took the 9:09 Long Island Railroad train from his suburban home to Woodside, N.Y.., where he caught a subway into the city.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">On the morning of January 10, 1948, Sternberger boarded the 9:09 as usual. En route, he suddenly decided to visit Laszlo Victor, a Hungarian friend who lived in Brooklyn and was ill.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Accordingly, at Ozone Park, Sternberger changed to the subway for Brooklyn, went to his friend&rsquo;s house, and stayed until midafternoon. He then boarded a Manhattan-bound subway for his Fifth Avenue office.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="50" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" width="600"></span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Here is Marcel&rsquo;s incredible story:</strong></span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The car was crowded, and there seemed to be no chance of a seat. But just as I entered, a man sitting by the door suddenly jumped up to leave, and I slipped into the empty place. I&rsquo;ve been living in New York long enough not to start conversations with strangers. But being a photographer, I have the peculiar habit of analyzing people&rsquo;s faces, and I was struck by the features of the passenger on my left. He was probably in his late 30s, and when he glanced up, his eyes seemed to have a hurt expression in them. He was reading a Hungarian-language newspaper, and something prompted me to say in Hungarian, &ldquo;I hope you don&rsquo;t mind if I glance at your paper.&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The man seemed surprised to be addressed in his native language. But he answered politely, &ldquo;You may read it now. I&rsquo;ll have time later on.&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">During the half-hour ride to town, we had quite a conversation. He said his name was Bela Paskin. A law student when World War II started, he had been put into a German labor battalion and sent to the Ukraine. Later he was captured by the Russians and put to work burying the German dead. After the war, he covered hundreds of miles on foot until he reached his home in Debrecen, a large city in eastern Hungary.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I myself knew Debrecen quite well, and we talked about it for a while. Then he told me the rest of his story. When he went to the apartment once occupied by his father, mother, brothers and sisters, he found strangers living there. Then he went upstairs to the apartment that he and his wife once had. It also was occupied by strangers. None of them had ever heard of his family.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">As he was leaving, full of sadness, a boy ran after him, calling &ldquo;Paskin bacsi! Paskin bacsi!&rdquo; That means &ldquo;Uncle Paskin.&rdquo; The child was the son of some old neighbors of his. He went to the boy&rsquo;s home and talked to his parents. &ldquo;Your whole family is dead,&rdquo; they told him. &ldquo;The Nazis took them and your wife to Auschwitz.&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Auschwitz was one of the worst Nazi concentration camps. Paskin gave up all hope. A few days later, too heartsick to remain any longer in Hungary, he set out again on foot, stealing across border after border until he reached Paris. He managed to immigrate to the United States in October 1947, just three months before I met him.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">All the time he had been talking, I kept thinking that somehow his story seemed familiar. A young woman whom I had met recently at the home of friends had also been from Debrecen; she had been sent to Auschwitz; from there she had been transferred to work in a German munitions factory. Her relatives had been killed in the gas chambers. Later she was liberated by the Americans and was brought here in the first boatload of displaced persons in 1946.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Her story had moved me so much that I had written down her address and phone number, intending to invite her to meet my family and thus help relieve the terrible emptiness in her life.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">It seemed impossible that there could be any connection between these two people, but as I neared my station, I fumbled anxiously in my address book. I asked in what I hoped was a casual voice, &ldquo;Was your wife&rsquo;s name Marya?&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">He turned pale. &ldquo;Yes!&rdquo; he answered. &ldquo;How did you know?&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">He looked as if he were about to faint.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I said, &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s get off the train.&rdquo; I took him by the arm at the next station and led him to a phone booth. He stood there like a man in a trance while I dialed her phone number.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">It seemed hours before Marya Paskin answered. (Later I learned her room was alongside the telephone, but she was in the habit of never answering it because she had so few friends and the calls were always for someone else. This time, however, there was no one else at home and, after letting it ring for a while, she responded.)</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">When I heard her voice at last, I told her who I was and asked her to describe her husband. She seemed surprised at the question, but gave me a description. Then I asked her where she had lived in Debrecen, and she told me the address.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Asking her to hold the line, I turned to Paskin and said, &ldquo;Did you and your wife live on such-and-such a street?&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Yes!&rdquo; Bela exclaimed. He was white as a sheet and trembling.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Try to be calm,&rdquo; I urged him. &ldquo;Something miraculous is about to happen to you. Here, take this telephone and talk to your wife!&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">He nodded his head in mute bewilderment, his eyes bright with tears. He took the receiver, listened a moment to his wife&rsquo;s voice, then suddenly cried, &ldquo;This is Bela! This is Bela!&rdquo; and he began to mumble hysterically. Seeing that the poor fellow was so excited he couldn&rsquo;t talk coherently, I took the receiver from his shaking hands.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Stay where you are,&rdquo; I told Marya, who also sounded hysterical. &ldquo;I am sending your husband to you. We will be there in a few minutes.&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Bela was crying like a baby and saying over and over again. &ldquo;It is my wife. I go to my wife!&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">At first I thought I had better accompany Paskin, lest the man should faint from excitement, but I decided that this was a moment in which no strangers should intrude. Putting Paskin into a taxicab, I directed the driver to take him to Marya&rsquo;s address, paid the fare, and said goodbye.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Bela Paskin&rsquo;s reunion with his wife was a moment so poignant, so electric with suddenly released emotion, that afterward neither he nor Marya could recall much about it.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;I remember only that when I left the phone, I walked to the mirror like in a dream to see if maybe my hair had turned gray,&rdquo; she said later. &ldquo;The next thing I know, a taxi stops in front of the house, and it is my husband who comes toward me. Details I cannot remember; only this I know&mdash;that I was happy for the first time in many years.....</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Even now it is difficult to believe that it happened. We have both suffered so much; I have almost lost the capability to not be afraid. Each time my husband goes from the house, I say to myself, &ldquo;Will anything happen to take him from me again?&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Her husband is confident that no horrible misfortune will ever again befall the. &ldquo;Providence has brought us together,&rdquo; he says simply. &ldquo;It was meant to be.&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Skeptical persons will no doubt attribute the events of that memorable afternoon to mere chance. But was it chance that made Marcel Sternberger suddenly decide to visit his sick friend and hence take a subway line that he had never ridden before? Was it chance that caused the man sitting by the door of the car to rush out just as Sternberger came in? </span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Was it chance that caused Bela Paskin to be sitting beside Sternberger, reading a Hungarian newspaper&#39;</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="360" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/29508/master/" width="490"></span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="50" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" width="600"></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><strong>Paul Deutschman, Great Stories Remembered, edited and compiled by Joe L.

	<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">In Honor of Brandy Vaughan &amp; Her Life&rsquo;s Mission</span></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #B22222;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">Ex-Pharmaceutical Rep Brandy Vaughan Found Dead After Warning People To Investigate Her Death</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #B22222;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Facts:Former Pharmaceutical Representative, and founder of learntherisk.org Brandy Vaughan has passed away. This comes after she made posts and videos expressing concerns for her life. Not much information is available, updates will be provided.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size: 18px;">Reflect On:Why are those who do the work that Brandy Vaughan did always unacknowledged, censored, and ridiculed any time they attract a lot of attention? Why are there so many mysterious deaths in the alternative/holistic health community?</span></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Vaughan was the founder of&nbsp;<a href="https://learntherisk.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" style="font-size: 17.6px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" target="_blank">learntherisk.org</a>, a website/non-profit organization that created awareness about the dangers of various pharmaceutical drugs and concerns that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.collective-evolution.com/2020/11/30/covid-vaccine-hesitancy-widespread-even-among-medical-professionals/" rel="noopener nofollow" style="font-size: 17.6px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" target="_blank">many scientists and doctors</a>&nbsp;have been raising about vaccines.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 1.1rem; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;">Her background, working for pharmaceutical giant Merck, inspired her to do the incredible and brave work that she did. She was a legend and worked extremely hard with enormous amounts of passion and determination. While working in the pharmaceutical industry she sold Vioxx, a painkiller that was found to double the risk of stroke and heart attacks and was eventually taken off the market as a result. &ldquo;From that experience, I realized that just because something is on the market doesn&rsquo;t mean it&rsquo;s safe,&rdquo;&nbsp;<a href="https://learntherisk.org/about-us/" rel="noopener nofollow" style="font-size: 17.6px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" target="_blank">explained</a>&nbsp;Vaughan. &ldquo;Much of what we are told by the healthcare industry just simply isn&rsquo;t the truth.&rdquo;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 1.1rem; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;">Her organization created awareness in a very credible way.

* Any necessary legal action, autopsy, or paperwork filing. (To be determined)<br />
* Helping to put on a memorial/funeral in honor of Brandy.<br />
* Towards keeping her lifelong mission in motion!<br />
Brandy had recently hired someone new to recreate her website, and the funds will help finish that project. We will need to pay for her storage for materials, until relocated. Mailbox fees. Possible legal fees and filing fees. New materials will need to be ordered, and we would like to put up several billboards in her honor... as a GIFT to this amazing soul.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(122, 122, 122); font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">I am a good friend, business supporter, and soul-sister to Brandy Vaughan. She has asked me many times over the years to take care of her son, and keep her mission alive, if anything ever happened to her. I will do my best to honor her wishes, and I need your help!! There is a small group of her closest confidents that she wanted to handle her affairs. We will not let her down! Her mission, is our mission!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(122, 122, 122); font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: center;"><a href="https://gogetfunding.com/in-honor-of-brandy-vaughan-learntherisk/" rel="nofollow">DONATE HERE</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1139226182779081" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Facebook</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/brandy_vaughan_21/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Instagram</span></a></p><p><a href="https://learntherisk.org/" rel="nofollow"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Website</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/brandy_vaughan_21/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Instagram</span></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">VIDEOS</p><h1 style="font-weight: 400; color: var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-color, var(--yt-spec-text-primary)); font-size: var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-font-size, var(--yt-navbar-title-font-size, inherit)); font-style: normal;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAwJrQIDTgQ&amp;feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #FFFFFF;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Scandal at Merck, former(old) one executive, Brandy Vaughan, admits everything</span></span></a></h1><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h1 style="font-weight: 400; color: var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-color, var(--yt-spec-text-primary)); font-size: var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-font-size, var(--yt-navbar-title-font-size, inherit)); font-style: normal;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuTXlCGjqMc&amp;feature=youtu.be"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: #FFFFFF;">The Overt and Covert Intimidation of Brandy Vaughan</span></span></a></h1><p><a href="https://www.collective-evolution.com/2020/12/11/ex-pharmaceutical-rep-brandy-vaughan-found-dead-after-warning-people-to-investigate-her-death/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 20px;">The Overt and Covert Intimidation of Brandy Vaughan</span></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">We live among Vipers that must be hunted down and exposed</p><p style="text-align: center;">Justice is the function of the Group</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

Two days were filled with interesting presentations, prayer, and meditations. The third day featured follow-up questions about the revelation.

I hope this heartwarming feedback will give you a glimpse of the fertile soil that awaits the seeds of the revelation in Mainland China and Taiwan. The enthusiasm of my students fuels my own as I continue to work with Richard Zhu on the Chinese translation of&nbsp;<em>The Urantia Book</em>&nbsp;into both Simplified and Traditional characters. I am also looking forward to planning and hosting another Urantia conference for Chinese-speaking readers in the near future.</span></p>

The speakers chose to focus on topics that would appeal to those of us who had not yet read the entire&nbsp;<em>Urantia Book</em>&nbsp;but had been exposed to the teachings through weekly quotes sent by Vicki.</span></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Richard Zhu&rsquo;s talk about the ascending journey to Paradise clearly gave us a whole new picture of the Universal Father&rsquo;s plan and the huge and detailed organization. As students of ACIL, we have been taught that &lsquo;all is in perfect Divine order.&rsquo; What we accepted by faith before,&nbsp;<em>The Urantia Book</em>&nbsp;now gives us in detailed and concrete revelations!</span></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Both Mei Fong and Richard gave talks that were rich in content and wisdom, using examples, such as synonyms or analogies, to compare key concepts in&nbsp;<em>The Urantia Book</em>&nbsp;with familiar Chinese sayings from ancient books and classic scriptures. I appreciated their use of repeated, proven wisdom to help us increase understanding and build sincere faith. Universal truth rings true no matter at which time and in which culture.</span></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Last but not least, I would like to show my appreciation to Vicki, who has been sending us excerpts from&nbsp;<em>The Urantia Book</em>&nbsp;every Sunday for the past two years. Though difficult to follow in the beginning, they helped me to expand and upgrade my consciousness. The more I am involved, the more I love to read the book. And the more I read, the better I understand.&rdquo;</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Mandala by Tina Liu" height="2815" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/34248/master/" style="margin: 4px 10px;" title="Mandala by Tina Liu" width="2815"><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;While listening to the talks, I was inspired to paint a Mandala &lsquo;Flower of Life.&rsquo; My theme was, &lsquo;We all come from the stars.&rsquo; I was trying to express my love and sense of belonging to the universe. From universes, stars, planets, time and space worlds, humans, to the plants in nature, we are all creations from the Creator. We are family!&rdquo; ~ Tina</span></div>

I did not find many Chinese references, so I stopped looking. Later, I joined a Urantia Book study group on WeChat. Though I slowly gained some degree of understanding, the giant book scared me. Without a Chinese translation, it would be impossible for me to read it.</span></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Fortunately, I discovered the conference, and signed up without hesitation. I was overjoyed with the three-day series, and many of my questions were answered. The timing of this conference was fortuitous. If it had been held two years earlier, I might not have understood it at all. There were high-quality speakers who helped bring me into this expanded belief system step by step. I was especially moved by Vicki&rsquo;s and Richard Zhu&rsquo;s devotion and contributions.</span></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Though most Chinese people may not be quite ready to read this book, I believe that in a few years more will be inspired by it. I believe a single spark can start a wildfire. So, I have set up a public account on social media, sharing some information. Although there are not yet many followers, with such a large Chinese population, it is inevitable and necessary that we will advance spiritually.&rdquo;</span></p><div>&nbsp;</div>

It&#39;s like I was instantly expanded, and I heard the inner voice from deep within. I understood the meaning of my life. I gratefully decided that I will not only study&nbsp;<em>The Urantia Book</em>&nbsp;carefully, but I will also do my part to help share the wisdom of the revelators. We are looking forward to the Chinese version.&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">&nbsp;</p><div>&nbsp;</div><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="float: right;"><img alt="Jane Luán" height="337" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/34249/master/" style="margin: 4px 10px; float: right;" title="Jane Luán" width="350"></span></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="float: right;">Jane Lu&aacute;n</span></span></div><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Reflections from Jane Lu&aacute;n</strong></span></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;What is my life purpose? Where did I come from? For these questions, I have visited the top psychologists in Beijing. I have a good job, a happy family, a healthy body, and lovely children.

In some places there are no masking requirements at all. Some stores insist on masks, some do not.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">Only in situations where the requirement to wear a mask is forced on an individual by a government body, or by a government order or law, does the&nbsp;<em>Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms</em>&nbsp;apply. That is, if a business is not required by government to enforce the wearing of facemasks &ndash; but does require them of their own accord &ndash; the&nbsp;<em>Charter</em>&nbsp;does not apply.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">A store doesn&rsquo;t have to follow the&nbsp;<em>Charter</em>, they aren&rsquo;t the government. However, they are required by law to comply with the applicable provincial human rights code. Businesses and private companies are legally allowed to require that employees, customers, clients, or visitors to their premises wear face masks. Stores and companies have a general right to refuse service to anyone, provided that they still comply with human rights legislation. Businesses cannot discriminate based on grounds like race, religion, creed, physical disability, mental disability, etc.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">If someone is unable to wear a mask because of a mental disability, such as claustrophobia, a business would be engaging in illegal discrimination if it denied services to such a person for not wearing a mask, and did not provide some form of reasonable accommodation.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">A requirement to wear a mask as a condition of employment, or as a condition to receive a service, may be discriminatory toward people with exemptions. If a business denies such a person service or employment because they refuse to wear a mask, that denial may form a legally valid basis for a human rights complaint.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">Some people refuse to wear a mask for religious reasons. Other people cannot or should not wear masks because of various medical and health conditions. Many of the municipal bylaws are worded broadly enough to exempt those with &ldquo;health concerns&rdquo; or &rdquo; health conditions&rdquo;, including mental conditions like claustrophobia. Laws must not disproportionately punish the vulnerable who are unable to wear masks.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">There are jurisdictional questions regarding mask bylaws, as well. Cities have no inherent jurisdiction to enact laws because they are entirely creatures of statute: their power is delegated from provinces through legislation. If a province has chosen not to enact mandatory masking requirements, then what empowers a municipality to do so?&nbsp;&nbsp;The answer may well be &ldquo;nothing&rdquo;.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">Despite the poor drafting of mask bylaws and jurisdictional and constitutional issues, a legal challenge to them is not guaranteed to be successful.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(214, 15, 0);">Hard data</a>&nbsp;now demonstrates that the virus has a survivability rate of 99.98 per cent, but the mask requirements remain.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">If a store or service accommodates non-mask wearers with curbside pickup, online shopping, or some other alternative, a provincial human rights commission would&nbsp;<a href="https://www.albertahumanrights.ab.ca/.../Pages/covid19.aspx" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(214, 15, 0);">likely</a>&nbsp;rule that sufficient accommodation has been provided.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">An individual is typically not required to disclose his medical condition to any store, service, restaurant or facility, provide proof of exemption, or discuss religious beliefs. Individuals are not required to prove that they have a mask exemption.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">If asked to wear a mask, you can reply, &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t wear a mask.&rdquo; A store or company can ask if you have a doctor&rsquo;s note due to ignorance of the law, however, you are under no legal obligation to provide a note, discuss your medical condition, or get into detail about why you cannot or will not wear a mask. The exception to this is if you file a Human Rights Complaint. You are likely going to be required to provide proof as part of the complaint process.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">The mask exemption cards that are circulating on the internet are merely symbolic. While some stores may accept them because they look like an &ldquo;official&rdquo; piece of paper, they have no legal weight.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">Legally, the question of mask bylaws remains circumstance-dependent and uncertain.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.westernstandardonline.com/2020/11/senior-doc-says-alberta-politicians-playing-medicine-media-driving-hysteria/" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(214, 15, 0);">Scientists and doctors disagree</a>&nbsp;on the benefits of masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Ultimately, the constitutionality of requirements to compel non-medical masks can only be determined by a court after it considers all factors, including the fundamental rights of liberty, security of person, freedom to make ones&rsquo; own medical decisions, and the right to control ones&rsquo; own body and bodily integrity.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">Some insist that masks are like seatbelts, and since the government requires seat belt use as a precaution, it also ought to require mask use. The comparison between face-masks and seatbelts is a poor one, however. Seatbelts are extensively standardized, factory- and crash-tested and customized for each age group, weight, model of car, etc. Non-medical masks and fabric masks are not tested, standardized or even customized, and there are zero studies on the safety of masks for children, or long-term wearing of masks for eight hours or more a day, seven days a week. Further, seatbelts do not interfere with an individual&rsquo;s breathing, or cover one&rsquo;s face, which is a fundamental and personal part of existence, and also involves the most visible part of human identity.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">No one can physically force you to cover your face in a free country, however you may have to shop in stores that welcome all customers regardless of disability or condition. Stores may choose to enforce the mask bylaw on their premises, but customers will likewise choose not to spend their hard-earned money in that store. In this economy, can stores afford to turn away customers?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">Importantly, medical offices, hospitals, and nursing homes are the most difficult places to exercise a mask exemption. These are places full of sick people, where the risk of catching any kind of cold, flu or virus is high and can result in death. However, Alberta Health Services produced a COVID information instruction&nbsp;sheet&nbsp;&nbsp;which clearly stated: &ldquo;No patient shall be denied service in AHS because they cannot or will not wear a mask.&rdquo; This has since been removed from the original website.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">In short, the local municipal governments are on shaky legal ground in imposing mask by-laws. Businesses in mandatory-mask municipalities are only enforcing what they are told to do, and businesses that voluntarily impose mask requirements have a right to do so as private, non-government entities, with several &ldquo;human rights&rdquo; caveats.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">Know your rights.</p><hr style="margin: 1.313em 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 1.313em;">So what can the average person do?</p><ol style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.313em; margin-left: 1.655em;">
	<li>Do not wear a mask, and exercise your exemption.</li>
	<li>Hope that other people in Alberta become tired or frustrated with mask-wearing and refuse to comply in very large numbers.</li>
	<li>Write your various levels of government demanding mandatory masks be removed from the bylaws; object vigorously to the mandate. Do not just write once. Flood their office, and your local member of parliament, city officials, mayors with alderman, clear, short concise objection letters and make it clear this is a voting issue to you. (Shorter is better. Writing a three-page letter to these government officials is less effective than writing 3 paragraphs. Keep it short and pointed.)</li>
	<li>Protest. In LARGE numbers. Not hundreds. Thousands.</li>
	<li>Wait for legal challenges to the mask mandates that do not go after masks, but attack the mandates on the basis of freedom of expression, free speech, parental rights, or freedom of religion.</li>
	<li>When you are outright refused service and not accommodated, for each store that discriminates, file a human rights complaint with the your provincial human rights commission.</li>
	<li>Shop in stores that have made customers welcome even if they do not or cannot wear a face covering, and refuse to patronize stores that do not. Ensure you write the head offices of these stores telling them that you are patronizing their store because of their decision to welcome all.</li>
