Disclaimer: I am not against minimally wearing a mask in every conceivable situation. This is a critique of the excessive, absurd, and tyrannical use of masks, as we see today.

Bam! A mere word from our trusted authorities, and the mask becomes the fashion of choice overnight – no questions asked. It is quite disturbing that this is all that it takes — and also that this is becoming a “normal” way of life.

Battle lines are being drawn. The compliant and non-compliant are becoming evident. Those who do not wear a mask in public are “shamed” for not bowing in compliance. This and other Coronavirus-related measures are no doubt splitting families, friendships, communities, and churches. All because of lies and exaggerations.

As such, it would be important to examine the mask and see if it is really as safe and effective as is claimed. Is it really helpful – or is it actually counterproductive and dangerous? And then, to dig deeper, what is its true purpose? Is it as benign as mere apparel, or are there darker forces at work? Is it for our own good — or for something more sinister?

Finally, has it become for many something beyond a matter of health, and rather an act of religion or superstition?

Visual marks for social control and subjugation in history

History repeats itself. What we see today is nothing new with the societal and governmental pressure to wear masks in the context of an overall subjection of people.

Historically, certain groups of people have been visually marked for control and subjugation. For instance,

It was not uncommon for Greek and Roman slaves to be branded. Slaves on great Roman plantations “were branded with a hot iron like oxen to identify them forever.”

Milton Meltzer, Slavery: A World History: Volumes One and Two (New York, NY: Da Capo Press, Inc., 1993), 71, 88, 154, 177 (Volume One).

Some Muslim women are required to wear veils of different kinds in public. There is the hijab, but also the burka or niqab, which include masks to cover the face. As written in the Sydney Morning Herald,

The burqa and the niqab shroud the full body, covering every part of a woman except her feet. The niqab includes a slit for the eyes, whereas the burqa has mesh netting. Malalai Joya, an Afghan MP and a devout Muslim, hates wearing it. “It’s not only oppressive,” she says, “but it’s more difficult than you might think. You have no peripheral vision. And it’s hot and suffocating under there.”

The “untouchables” in India’s oppressive caste system have suffered under restrictions regarding wearing decent clothing. Doing so is to risk one’s life. According to an article in 1990,

“In villages, they can’t use umbrellas, wear new clothes or ride bicycles in the presence of caste Hindus,” said Kailash Satyarthi, a social activist. “Harijans are beaten up for this, their women raped and men sometimes killed.”

In Maoist China,

Professors were dressed in grotesque clothes and dunce caps, their faces smeared with ink. They were then forced to get down on all fours and bark like dogs. Some were beaten to death, some even eaten — all for the promulgation of Maoism. A reluctant Mao finally called in the Red Army to put down the marauding Red Guards when they began attacking Communist Party members, but not before 1 million Chinese died.

A visible mark of oppression may first be recommended before it is mandated. This was the case with identifying badges for the Jews under Nazi Germany:

Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the Reich Main Security Office, first recommended that Jews should wear identifying badges following the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 9 and 10, 1938. Shortly after the invasion of Poland in September 1939, local German authorities began introducing mandatory wearing of badges. By the end of 1939, all Jews in the newly-acquired Polish territories were required to wear badges. Upon invading the Soviet Union in June 1941, the Germans again applied this requirement to newly-conquered lands. Throughout the rest of 1941 and 1942, Germany, its satellite states and western occupied territories adopted regulations stipulating that Jews wear identifying badges.

Holocaust Memorial Center, Jewish Stars and Other Holocaust Badges. Retrieved May 26, 2020, from https://www.holocaustcenter.org/visit/library-archive/holocaust-badges/

For the Jews, wearing a yellow star would be required for them to appear in public:

In order to ensure that Jews were kept separate in society, they had to be easily identifiable. From March 1940 on, Jews’ identity cards were marked with the letter „J“ for Jude (Jew). From the 1st of September of 1941 onward, all Jews aged six and above were only allowed to appear in public if they wore a yellow six-pointed star bearing the word „Jude“ on their clothes. Citizens of the Protectorate were also warned in the press not to show any sympathy towards Jews thus labelled, or they would be dealt with as the Jews were.

The mask today as a means of social control and subjugation

In our day, where face masks are being imposed on everyone to “protect us” from COVID-19, the general population is marked for subjugation – like a futuristic dystopian story where everyone, under the boot of tyrants, wears the same clothing.

However, besides the mark of the mask, there is the mark of not wearing the mask. For not yielding to government subjugation, those who do not wear masks are considered a threat to humanity.

Increasingly, they are accosted in public (“mask shaming”). Moreover, those who don’t wear masks are now considered potential terrorists:

Counterterrorism analysts at the Department of Homeland Security warned law enforcement officers and governors that ‘essential workers’ and authority figures should prepare for attacks by ‘stay at home resisters.’

ABC News first published the report, which noted people’s resistance to face masks.

“Some illicit actors probably will view any continued state-mandated orders as government overreach, and anticipated safety guidelines and policies—specifically the use of face masks—probably also will serve as a driving factor behind continued violent incidents related to the pandemic,” the analysts wrote.

Jim Satney, “Feds Warn ‘Violent Attacks’ Against ‘Essential Workers’ Possible,” PrepForThat (May 25, 2020). Retrieved May 26, 2020, from https://prepforthat.com/feds-warn-violent-attacks-against-essential-workers-possible/

Our current use of the mask is a means of subjugating and socially conditioning us (either deliberately, or conveniently). Let’s think about what it is doing below.

• The mask promotes an atmosphere of fear, which in turn makes us more willing to surrender our liberties. When people see others wearing masks outside or in stores, the fake narrative of a Coronavirus crisis is reinforced. Fear — which the narrative promotes — can make people think irrationally, including being willing to give up their liberty.
• The mask deters from Christian worship and fellowship. The atmosphere of fear generated by the mask can easily deter people from attending church and fellowship with other Christians where the mask is required. Christian gatherings are at risk of being transformed from a warm to a cold atmosphere – where relationships are inhibited (due to the difficulty of communicating with the mask) and people are visually divided with one another over the mask (promoting an atmosphere of antagonism). This deters worship and community, and thus furthers the agenda of God’s enemies in power.
• The mask divides and conquers the people. There are now two camps of people: the masked and the unmasked. It’s very easy for those in both groups to view each other as enemies: the masked, viewed as contributors to our loss of freedom by visually giving popular consent to the tyranny; the unmasked, viewed as “selfish” people who are spreading a “very deadly virus.” This, of course, distracts the people from the real enemy: the oppressors in power who sold us a false narrative about the “Coronavirus crisis.”
• The mask is an attack on relationships and speech. Who wants to talk to someone with a mask? You can’t hear him, and absent facial expressions, it’s like talking to a wall. This is especially destructive to relationships within the church. Moreover, this barrier to communication subtly affects free speech. If you can’t legally keep someone from free speech, create a psychological disincentive to it. The mask is quite appropriately symbolic of man being muzzled like a dog.
• The mask dehumanizes us. Physically, the face is the most “human” part of a person. With most of one’s face covered, that person’s humanity is visually reduced. Surely this influences how we interact with others, view others, and how we see the world. If you can’t see someone’s facial expressions, then it’s hard to tell if he is friend or foe. Moreover, individuality is suppressed, making everyone seem like robots. People might seem less like being created in God’s image and endowed with inalienable rights, and more like beasts for the state to subjugate.
• The mask makes the world seem darker. In a world where faces are covered, so are smiles. No one appears happy. A formula for depression, despair, and nihilism.
• The mask enables criminals and the insurrectionist rioters. When everyone wears masks in public places, it makes it easier for criminals to blend in and engage in crime without being identified; a criminal looks the same as a non-criminal. And thus it especially helps the rioting insurrectionists get away with literal murder — the same insurrectionists who are serving the purposes of the globalists pushing the shutdown.
• The mask makes us easier to kill. “Faceless” people are easier to see as non-human. Why might executioners sometimes make their victims turn their backs to them before shooting them in the back of the head? Perhaps because killing someone might be easier if you don’t see his face. Are we being prepped for mass murder? I hope not, but human nature and history says it’s a real possibility.
• The mask conveys to the tyrants that their schemes are working. The mask is a visible cue as to the success of the false narrative. We “vote” for the narrative by wearing it. When so many are willing to don a mask whenever they go somewhere, the tyrants are emboldened to continue in their oppression.
• The mask shows the tyrants how easily the people are manipulated. The “experts” can advise against masks one minute (as we show later), then advise them otherwise the next — and the people don’t seem to notice or to care. Instead, they comply without missing a beat. Message received: keep manipulating the public! It’s easy!
• The mask is prepping us to accept a much greater monster — mandatory vaccination. This is the emasculating phase of losing bodily integrity; getting us used to losing liberty of what goes on our body before giving government control of what goes in our body. Once vaccination is mandated, expect our current vaccine Holocaust to escalate.
• The mask may be eventually used to mark certain people as “untouchables.” It may happen that once people have hit their threshold with wearing masks, the government may offer an “out” by requiring them to be subjected to medical tyranny (e.g., intrusive testing and house visitations, periodic quarantine, micro-chipping, drugs, and vaccinations). The compliant will be given a “clean bill of health” and can thus jettison the mask as long as they remain compliant. The non-compliant will be required to always wear a mask in public (under threat of imprisonment) and thus be a pariah for others to avoid; a threat to public health. They will be considered “lepers”; the new “untouchables” caste — a target of violence for the fearful mob.
• The mask may be a basis for exterminating certain groups of people. Either those who refuse to wear them as “disease terrorists,” or, in time, if the mask is used as a marker if only a select group is required to wear it (see previous bullet) (remember the markers the Jews were required to wear before the Holocaust).
• The mask fuels economic collapse and socialism. Business owners who do not want to mandate masks risk being closed down. Business owners who do require masks risk losing business to those who resent wearing masks. As businesses close, the state fills in the void and tightens its grip on the economy. More state control, more oppression, more economic depression and poverty.
• The mask is a mark of slavery. It is a visible reminder as to who is in charge. It shows that the people no longer have a choice in something as basic as apparel. It is “cattle branding” of the people.
• The mask fuels government control of churches. In churches that require masks, the mask broadcasts to attendees the state’s dominance over the church. Moreover, when churches mandate masks (despite good intentions), they are assisting in the state’s role as an oppressor, and conveying to church members that mask-tyranny is okay (and that masks are not dangerous, despite the abundance of evidence given below). The desensitizing effect that results psychologically preps Christians to accept more and more tyranny. (This is not to say that such churches are necessarily bad churches — but they are trusting the wrong people — the same people who hate God, believe in killing unborn babies, and hold that churches are “unnecessary.”)

Masks used for superstitious and religious purposes

Historically, the mask has been used for religious and superstitious purposes. It has been considered a “charm against misfortune” that could even cure sickness:

Many masks are primarily associated with ceremonies that have religious and social significance or are concerned with funerary customs, fertility rites, or the curing of sickness. …

High priests and healers, or shamans, frequently had their own powerful totems, in whose masks they could exorcise evil spirits, punish enemies, locate game or fish, predict the weather, and, most importantly, cure disease.

Paul S. Wingert, “The Functions And Forms Of Masks,” Encyclopedia Britannica Retrieved May 18, 2020, from https://www.britannica.com/art/mask-face-covering/Theatrical-uses

The superstitious, religious use of masks might explain much of what we are seeing in attempts to combat the Coronavirus. People everywhere are wearing masks. Motives for wearing one may vary. We do not make light of those genuinely afraid who feel the need to constantly wear masks — they are victims of lies.

However, many may be simply wearing masks non-stop for other reasons. In many cases, could wearing the mask be a way of religiously identifying with a group devoted to a fictional hysteria?

Moreover, is the mask also being seen by some as a talisman to “ward off evil spirits”? Case in point: wearing masks where no one is around – such as driving alone in a car, or riding a bike with no one in sight. It is as if many believe hordes of invisible spirits are flying around, waiting for someone to infect. Excessive fear breeds excessive superstition.

Not only could much of the mask-wearing be superstitious, but could it be a means to appease false gods? This, too, has been a use of the mask in history:

Among some Dan and Gere (Ngere, Guere) peoples of Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire, ancestor masks with generic features act as intermediaries for the transmission of petitions or offerings of respect to the gods. These traditional ancestral emissaries exert by their spirit power a social control for the community.

Ibid.

There is little doubt that much of society views the government endorsed medical authorities as gods. That is, they deify them by assigning to them an attribute only reserved to God Himself: infallibility. Whatever so-called medical authorities say, many will unquestionably comply, no questions asked – as if their words were engraved in tablets of stone. It’s as if the medical mask that everyone is now wearing quite appropriately identifies America with its idol — modern medicine.

And so when asked by such authorities to wear masks, many will do so — not because they have critically examined the issue, but perhaps because their idols have told them to. No amount of evidence to the contrary will persuade them otherwise. Questioning their idols amounts to heresy. The mask has become a sign of discipleship; of unwavering submission.

Some who wear the mask are whipped into a spirit of religious fanaticism; a jihad against those who will not wear the mask and thus submit to their gods. Many, by now, have heard of stories of “mask shaming” against such “heretics.”

Let us now turn to another matter of mask fiction — from mask superstition and idolatry, to mask safety and efficacy.

Do masks protect?

While the “official” experts now mostly tell us that we need to wear a mask for protection, note the following. Did the official and scientific consensus change overnight to accommodate a false narrative?

Now, are there also sources from official “experts” that tell us otherwise – that masks could help us not catch the Coronavirus?

Sure, but how can we trust the Plandemic “experts” who contradict themselves in their own statements? All that tells me is that they have an ulterior motive for making us wear the masks. They should know better than to recommend them (at least generally), especially considering the next section.

Note: even if there were occasions where the mask can protect, the next section shows clearly that they can also damage one’s health and spread viruses to others. Count the cost!

The Mask and health risks

Considering God’s natural created order, it is a given that a mask is unhealthy. God did not create man with a barrier to breathing oxygen, as the mask does; and He did not intend for man to inhale carbon dioxide, which the mask causes. With our need for oxygen and our need to release carbon dioxide, the hazards of the mask – which impedes these things — become self-evident.

An analogy might be with food. Both oxygen and food are necessary for life. Imagine if someone’s digestion of food was impeded. We would expect health problems to result. How much more might we expect this regarding the inhalation of oxygen, which is even more crucial for life?

A quick note on masks being worn
Many are simply wearing scarfs and such as masks. As far as normal masks, there are N95 respirators (which protrude out like a small beak) and surgical masks. More about the differences here.

Face masks reduce oxygen intake and increase carbon dioxide

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a nationally recognized board-certified neurosurgeon, writes this about a study regarding the N95 respirator mask:

They found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with use of the mask, most had preexisting headaches that were worsened by the mask wearing, and 60% required pain medications for relief. As to the cause of the headaches, while straps and pressure from the mask could be causative, the bulk of the evidence points toward hypoxia and/or hypercapnia as the cause. That is, a reduction in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or an elevation in blood C02 (hypercapnia). It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20%, which can lead to a loss of consciousness, as happened to the hapless fellow driving around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask, causing him to pass out, and to crash his car and sustain injuries. I am sure that we have several cases of elderly individuals or any person with poor lung function passing out, hitting their head. This, of course, can lead to death.

Regarding surgical masks, Blaylock also writes:

While most agree that the N95 mask can cause significant hypoxia and hypercapnia, another study of surgical masks found significant reductions in blood oxygen as well.

Face masks result in inhaling one’s own waste

We must rid carbon dioxide from our bodies – not inhale it. But by wearing masks, we do this very thing. Carbon dioxide is a waste product:

Our cells make carbon dioxide as a waste product from the process of converting food to energy. That carbon dioxide — and some water vapor — are removed by the lungs when we breathe and exhale them back into the atmosphere.

Idaho Public Television: PBS, Body Waste: Facts. Retrieved July 29, 2020, from https://sciencetrek.org/sciencetrek/topics/body_waste/facts.cfm#:~:text=Our%20cells%20make%20carbon%20dioxide,them%20back%20into%20the%20atmosphere.

We can’t expect such a practice of inhaling such waste to be healthy – any more than consuming other kinds of human waste.

Face masks can impair the immune system – fostering sickness

By restricting oxygen, masks can impair immunity — which in turn can foster sickness, include COVID-19 itself. According to former E.R. doctor Rashid Buttar, PhD,

Wearing a mask is making everything worse. Remember, we breathe in oxygen. When you wear a mask you are reducing the flow of oxygen. By reducing the flow of oxygen you are taxing your system. You’re going to cause a release of … cortisol, of the stress hormone. When the stress hormone goes off, then you have a suppression of the immune system. … and now, an opportunistic thing could cause a problem.

GreenSmoothieGirl, Two Doctors Say Wearing A Mask Hurts Your Immune System,” YouTube (April 25, 2020). Retrieved May 25, 2020, from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6B96XoBboc

Judy Mikovits, PhD, a top U.S. virologist, comments that in wearing a mask,

You’ll make yourself sick. … You’re sucking back in CO2. We don’t do photosynthesis. We’re humans, we have to breathe oxygen. We can’t breathe back in our own toxic air. That’s why you exhale. That’s why you breathe deeply. That’s why you cough, to expel a pathogen. So … you cough in your own mask, and you suppress your own immune system. … For healthy people, you’re not getting fresh air; you’re suppressing your immune response. You’re activating endogenous viruses. And when you activate endogenous viruses, your immune system has to go and knock down those viruses. … When you wear that mask … you’re making yourself sicker. It’s warm, it’s wet. You touch it. It’s abnormal. It’s uncomfortable. Those are all things that are immune draining, not immune boosting. And so you are making yourself sick with other sources. It makes no sense, you are not preventing infection. You’re not preventing spread. It’s virus coming from within.

Ibid.

And Dr. Russell Blaylock writes:

The importance of these findings is that a drop in oxygen levels (hypoxia) is associated with an impairment in immunity. Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte. This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs. This sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COVID-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome.

Masks can increase spread of COVID-19

It’s important to note that even if masks are theoretical effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, they probably aren’t in practice for the general population. Here’s why. According to the FDA,

Surgical masks are not intended to be used more than once. If your mask is damaged or soiled, or if breathing through the mask becomes difficult, you should remove the face mask, discard it safely, and replace it with a new one. To safely discard your mask, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the trash. Wash your hands after handling the used mask.

How many with surgical masks do this – let alone know to do this? I doubt very few. By extension, how many might likewise dispose of, or clean, other kinds of masks after a single use? Again, I imagine it’s very few. Thus, our stores could very well be full of masked disease carriers.

According to Dr. Luis Ostrosky, an infectious disease specialist at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center,

“We know the virus can live on surfaces up to three days. The more porous and moist the surface, the longer it can live there. We don’t like cloth masks because they tend to get very moist and pull germs in, not only virus, but bacteria.”

Antonio I Lazzarino, Medical Doctor and Epidemiologist, writes:

Inappropriate use of face mask: people must not touch their masks, must change their single-use masks frequently or wash them regularly, dispose them correctly and adopt other management measures, otherwise their risks and those of others may increase. …

Wearing a face mask makes the exhaled air go into the eyes. This generates an uncomfortable feeling and an impulse to touch your eyes. If your hands are contaminated, you are infecting yourself.

Face masks can simultaneously spread COVID-19 and worsen the condition of those infected

By impairing breathing, face masks can spread COVID-19 and worsen condition of those infected. According to Dr. Antonio I Lazzarino,

Face masks make breathing more difficult. For people with COPD, face masks are in fact intolerable to wear as they worsen their breathlessness. Moreover, a fraction of carbon dioxide previously exhaled is inhaled at each respiratory cycle. Those two phenomena increase breathing frequency and deepness, and hence they increase the amount of inhaled and exhaled air. This may worsen the burden of covid-19 if infected people wearing masks spread more contaminated air. This may also worsen the clinical condition of infected people if the enhanced breathing pushes the viral load down into their lungs.

Masks can cause a virus to enter the brain

Dr. Russell Blaylock writes:

It gets even more frightening. Newer evidence suggests that in some cases the virus can enter the brain. In most instances it enters the brain by way of the olfactory nerves (smell nerves), which connect directly with the area of the brain dealing with recent memory and memory consolidation. By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.

The mask and its enhanced dangers to particular people

In discussing the dangers of masks, Dr. Russell Blaylock writes,

Unfortunately, no one is telling the frail elderly and those with lung diseases, such as COPD, emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis, of these dangers when wearing a facial mask of any kind—which can cause a severe worsening of lung function. This also includes lung cancer patients and people having had lung surgery, especially with partial resection or even the removal of a whole lung.

The CDC notes:

Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

According to the California Department of Health:

[W]earing a mask may actually be harmful to some people with heart or lung disease because it can make the lungs work harder to breathe. …

Children should not wear [respirator] masks – they do not fit properly and can impede breathing.

Regarding the N95 respirator mask in particular, the Sacramento County Department of Health Services Public Health Division says:

N95 respirator use by those with heart and respiratory diseases can be dangerous, and should only be done under a doctor’s supervision.

The Sacramento County Department of Health Services Public Health Division goes on to give these warnings about the N95 Respirator Mask:

Caution/warning statements for N95 Respirator Mask distribution to the public:

• N95 respirator can make it more difficult for the wearer to breathe due to carbon dioxide build up, which reduces the intake of oxygen, increased breathing rates and heart rates.
• People with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or other medical conditions that make breathing difficult should check with their healthcare provider before using an N95 respirator
• To work as expected, an N95 respirator requires a proper fit to your face
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not generally recommend facemasks and respirators for use in home or community settings.

Masks can kill you

Given what has already been said, it is a given that masks can kill you. What would we expect from the deprivation of oxygen, the most fundamental process of life?

I wonder, especially as the temperature gets hotter, how many of the elderly will pass out and die from wearing a mask?

Moreover, car accidents are a real danger. In Lincoln Park, N.J., a driver appears to have passed out and crashed due to mask-induced oxygen deprivation.

A New Jersey police department says what officials called “excessive” wearing of a medical mask is believed to have been a factor in a single-car crash after the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle passed out behind the wheel.

The Lincoln Park police department said the driver had been wearing the N95 medical mask for several hours and passed out “due to insufficient oxygen intake/excessive carbon dioxide intake.”

In exercise, you require more oxygen, which a mask inhibits. Recently, deaths have occurred in China from running while wearing a mask:

There has been heightened concern in China over the possible effects of working out while wearing a mask.

During the month of April, three cases of students suffering sudden cardiac death (SCD) while running during gym class have been reported in Zhejiang, Henan and Hunan provinces. Beijing Evening News noted that all three students were wearing masks at the time of their deaths, igniting a critical discussion over school rules on when students should wear masks.

Masks and brain damage

Could the ongoing use of masks impair the brains of those who wear them? After all, the ongoing use of masks causes an ongoing restriction of oxygen to the brain. Are masks designed to make us stupid and thus more easily controlled?

Cerebral hypoxia refers to a condition in which there is a decrease of oxygen supply to the brain even though there is adequate blood flow.

Drowning, strangling, choking, suffocation, cardiac arrest, head trauma, carbon monoxide poisoning, and complications of general anesthesia can create conditions that can lead to cerebral hypoxia. Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include inattentiveness, poor judgment, memory loss, and a decrease in motor coordination.

Brain cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen deprivation and can begin to die within five minutes after oxygen supply has been cut off. When hypoxia lasts for longer periods of time, it can cause coma, seizures, and even brain death.

Masks and cancer

Could wearing masks cause cancer? Perhaps, as there is a connection between cancer and oxygen deprivation. According to Johns Hopkins medicine,

Working with human breast cancer cells and mice, scientists at The Johns Hopkins University say new experiments explain how certain cancer stem cells thrive in low oxygen conditions. Proliferation of such cells, which tend to resist chemotherapy and help tumors spread, are considered a major roadblock to successful cancer treatment.

The new research, suggesting that low-oxygen conditions spur growth through the same chain of biochemical events in both embryonic stem cells and breast cancer stem cells, could offer a path through that roadblock, the investigators say.

According to Dr. Otto Warburg, MD (Nobel Prize in Physiology Winner, 1931):

All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen — a rule without exception. Deprive a cell 35 percent of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.

Dr. Josh Axe, 12 Natural Cancer Treatments Revealed, Dr. Axe (August 2, 2018). Retrieved August 27, 2020, from https://draxe.com/health/10-natural-cancer-treatments-hidden-cures/

According to Dr. Josh Axe,

Dr. Warburg made it clear that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. He also discovered that cancer cells do not breathe oxygen and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.

Conclusion

The donning of the mask has become the way of life in America and the entire world. History is repeating itself; it is the new visual mark for social control and subjugation.

Moreover, in our current context, in the case of some people, the mask may be an indicator of godlessness — an embracing of superstition and idolatry. A misguided trust in a muzzle instead of the great God Almighty.

Not only this, but the mask’s efficacy is questionable, and its dangers are beyond dispute. How many will drop dead because of using the mask — especially the elderly, those with health problems, children, those who exercise with them, and employees who wear them hours upon end? And how many will get short- and long-term health problems from their use?

This is not to say there is never a reason to wear a mask, but one must count the cost — both regarding one’s health, and one’s liberty.

The mask is symbolic of the muzzling of our freedom — and an indicator of how easily we are deceived. The dangers, deception, and idolatry associated with it point to the darkness and oppression the world is under. Today’s mask mandates reflect the dawn of a new kind of Sharia Law — both in its physical and spiritual oppressions. Perhaps it is best called “Corona Law.”

May the earth look to the Lord and trust in him for safety — not in an emblem of deception and tyranny. Take off your mask, free your lips and cry out to Him!

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. (Psalm 18:2)
