Thanks! I love listening to these conversations, especially when I have an onerous and time-consuming chore like dishwashing or mending.
I started a Facebook group called Speakeasy Illinois with a musician friend of mine in early February for Illinoisans who want to quietly go around the mask mandates by supporting businesses that don't enforce them. Rules are strict: no politics, no swearing, no campaigns to try and force mask-enforcing establishments to allow us to shop/dine sans face diaper. The group is currently at 1500 members. Its rise has been meteoric. A group member contacted Illinois Senator Darren Bailey (running for governor in 2022) and now we're doing a special group Zoom meeting with him next week. After dropping an innocuous post that asked "How hard would it be to start our own Speakeasy schools?", the response was so overwhelming that I am now planning to start an independent, non-religious school in my area.
Meanwhile, my group members post about proms where high school kids will be expected to be vaxxed and masked. Dancing will not be allowed. Dance schools are forcing young girls and boys to mask up as they do strenuous dance routines. Our spring weather has been gorgeous here in northern Illinois, and a common sight is a person walking completely alone down the sidewalk with a mask on his or her face. The salary class and its aspirants have gone completely insane. The richer the county, such as DuPage or Will, the more likely it is that one of my maskless group members will be yelled at in a store and forbidden from checking out. Solution of course is not to confront them but to take one's money to the store down the street that doesn't hassle. Churches are beginning to rebel big time and this makes me very happy despite the fact I'm not a Christian. Since Calgary Pastor Artur Pawlowski kicked a bunch of police out of his church on Easter Sunday and rightfully called them Nazis and fascists, churches down here have been waking up to the conflict of interest that mask-wearers present to the worship of Jesus.
In short, I think we're winning. The Left has unwittingly provided a thrust block that woke up people who would have otherwise remained content with their bread and circuses. Two distinct economies are emerging from the COVID rubble: the depressed economy of fearful order-following mask wearers (who have a boatload of bad karma that has just begun to cash itself in) and the patriot economy of people who want to peacefully do their own thing. Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your knowledge. My group is based upon the principles of The Cosmic Doctrine. Its success is magical in more ways than one.
