One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled.
The UK just passed a 350+ page bill that gives the government unfettered, tyrannical powers.
The USA and Australia are undertaking similarly ill advised actions.
This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights.

The physician, who, having just forbidden his cardiac patient indulgence in tobacco, alcohol and amorous intimacies, was asked by the victim, “Tell me, doctor, if I give these things up, will I live longer?” to which his physician replied with charm and candor, “No, but it’ll seem longer.” – Bernard Meyer
Medical science is making such remarkable progress that soon none of us will be well. — Aldous Huxley
The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease. – Voltaire
True professionals provide considered advice. And sometimes doing nothing is exactly the right thing to do. The same is true of medicine. Recognize that the doctor who advises no action may be the one who really cares for you. – Dr. Gilbert H. Welch
It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a hospital that it should do the sick no harm. – Florence Nightingale
Do as much as possible for the patient, and as little as possible to the patient. – Dr Bernard Lown
It all starts by caring enough to engage the patient in the decision-making. Many people argue that ‘We don’t have time for this in the consultation. I’d rather just tell people what I think is best for them and then they can decide whether they want it or not.
Well, that’s not very caring. This might be efficient, but it does not reflect the best that we can offer. – Dr. Victor Montori, on shared decision-making
I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. – Hippocrates
There’s a hidden gem in here of how he used their communication to find a way to continue his cleanup!
No similarity at all to what Western governments are doing at present. Setting us up to become slaves, dependent on the government’s largesse. Until that runs out… …then watch out!
The time to avert a catastrophe is well before it starts. We are already late to the party stopping this one! Best we get very busy promoting truth and helping people raise their ethic, awarenes and competence levels as a matter of urgency.
A physician once said,” The best medicine for humans is love.” Someone asked, “What if it doesn’t work?” He smiled and said, “Increase the dose.”
Every elected US official mandating lockdowns is acting unconstitutionally!
I previously forwarded a correctly worded post on US constitutional law attributed to a wrong authorship. Here is the text and the link to where it may be verified:
“It is sometimes argued that the existence of an emergency allows the existence and operation of powers, national or state, which violate the inhibitions of the Federal Constitution. The rule is quite otherwise. NO emergency justifies the violation of any of the provisions of the United States Constitution.” Section 71
“…Neither the legislature nor any executive or judicial officer may disregard the provisions of the Constitution in case of an emergency…” Section 98
Therefore, ANYONE who declares the suspension of constitutionally guaranteed rights (to freely travel, peaceably assemble, earn a living, freely worship, etc.) and/or attempts to enforce such suspension within the 50 independent, sovereign, continental United states of America, is making war against our constitution(s) and, therefore, we, the people. They violate their constitutional oath and, thus, immediately forfeit their office and authority and their proclamations may be disregarded with impunity and that means ANYONE; even the Governor and President!
“A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes all other laws and the individual’s rights shall be liberally enforced in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated beneficiary.” – Marbury vs. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (SCOTUS—1803)

The MOVE bombing stands as a monumental marker for the power of human forgetting — though it happened just 31 years ago, today, most people in the United States wouldn’t know what you were talking about if you mention it. And that should be a grave concern for us all, explained journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal from prison in an essay last year.
“May 13th at [then] 30, why should we care about what happened on May 13, 1985?,” Abu-Jamal wrote. “Why indeed? I’ll tell you why. Because what happened then is a harbinger of what’s happening now all across America. I don’t mean bombing people — not yet, that is. I mean the visceral hatreds and violent contempt once held for MOVE is now visited upon average people, not just radicals and revolutionaries like MOVE […]
“If it had been justly and widely condemned then, there would be no now, no Ferguson, no South Carolina, no Los Angeles, no Baltimore. The barbaric police bombing of May 13, 1985, and the whitewash of the murders of 11 MOVE men, women, and children opened a door that still has not been closed. We are today living with those circumstances.”
