Face Binding: Masks as the New Foot Binding

by Stephen Halbrook

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Nothing is new under the sun. When fallen man is not justifying one unnatural practice as “the new normal,” then he is justifying another.

The current, extreme practice of incessantly binding our faces with masks in the name of stopping COVID-19 brings to mind the practice of foot binding.

Foot binding was a horrendous custom that was once practiced in China. Here, the feet of girls were “modified” (deformed) by binding them with tight wrappings. The idea was to keep their feet as small as possible to make them more “attractive.” It was painful, crippling, and could even cause death due to infection.

Foot binding was outlawed in 1911 because it was causing many deaths. During the process, young girls either couldn’t support the pain or they usually were infected. Binding your feet was very dangerous. It was also a form of deformation. Little by little, it would start breaking bones from all the body. The first few bones that were being broken are the feet ones. It would effect the women mentally. A line down the back which was the muscle stress would curve toward. This would force women to walk differently and sit up differently. Once foot binding was done, there was no way going back. There feet were deformed and eventually there was side effects such as harming all the women’s body. Some girls were to weak to support the pain and they started getting an infection. If it wasn’t taken care of, disease followed and after that, death was on their way. China started losing women and girls everyday. … There is survivors of footing binding, like Zhou Gulahen,86 … She describes her life as torture. Her feet are bound till this day. She can’t even walk which is the worst part of all.

Christians helped to put an end to the practice:

In the 19th century, toward the end of the Qing Dynasty, Western countries effectively colonized China and many Western people began to move to the country. This coincided with the height of foot binding, when the practice was most prevalent. So many Western women, especially the wives of Christian missionaries, became strong advocates against the practice, producing pamphlets and even opening shelters in support of afflicted women. Around the same time, Chinese intellectuals who had studied abroad in Europe and in North America returned to China and stated their support for abolishment. So by the time Pearl Buck was writing in 1923, after the Qing Dynasty had fallen, the practice had become unfashionable.

Gladys Aylward (1902-1970) was a British Christian missionary to China. She did amazing things for Christ while living there, including helping to end footbinding. She was commissioned as an “inspector of feet” (as it was considered wrong for men to inspect women’s feet.)

During the inspection, Gladys would say,

You know that boys’ feet and girls’ feet are all alike; if God had wanted girls to have little, stunted feet He would have made them like that. But instead He made them all the same. And now the government says the feet of girl babies must be allowed to grow naturally. They must not be bound.

Fast forward to the use of masks as a way of life to “protect” us from an overhyped virus (even though not too long ago masks were deemed unnecessary). People everywhere are put under a yoke of bondage in this ritual. It is essentially a ban on normal oxygen levels.

While foot binding assaults the feet, masks — or face binding — assault breathing.

In suppressing oxygen and causing the inhalation of our own waste (carbon dioxide), masks naturally cause health problems — some subtle, some obvious.

We address several health risks of masks here, along with their uses for social control and subjugation — and the question of whether they really protect.

The use of masks in our current context is the new foot binding. It is an unnatural infliction of violence upon the wearers. Just as foot binding was done in order to fulfill the twisted desires of tyrannical men of the past, so masks are used to fulfill the twisted desires of tyrannical overlords of today.

We noted how Gladys Aylward rightfully appealed to God’s created order to oppose foot binding. The same appeal applies to opposing the ongoing use of masks.

(Yes, masks are at times necessary to protect against a greater health risk, such as a chemical weapons attack, but here we are referring to their extreme use in the highly exaggerated COVID-19 “crisis.”)

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 his own waste (carbon dioxide), which the mask causes. (See the video here showing how masks cause toxic air quality.)

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 inhibiting the inhalation of oxygen — which is even more crucial for life than even food?

Indeed, just as foot binding could harm or kill, so can the mask. The more the use, the more potential for harm. And wearing while exercising can be outright suicidal. As we cover here, masks can cause an array of health problems, ranging from suppression of the immune system to death.

Also for consideration: ongoing foot binding could cripple the feet of its victims; the natural outcome of constant unnatural pressure on the feet. Similarly, could the ongoing use of masks impair the brain of those who wear them? After all, the ongoing use of masks causes an ongoing restriction of oxygen to the brain.

Just as foot binding immediately assaults the area of its location, so would we expect the same with masks. Recently, a condition known as “mask mouth” has been reported:

The new oral hygiene issue — caused by, you guessed it, wearing a mask all the time to prevent the spread of the coronavirus — is leading to all kinds of dental disasters like decaying teeth, receding gum lines and seriously sour breath.

“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before,” says Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental. “About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it ‘mask mouth’ — after ‘meth mouth.’ ”

Melkorka Licea, “‘Mask mouth’ is a seriously stinky side effect of wearing masks,” NY Post (August 5, 2020). Retrieved August 19, 2020, from https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/mask-mouth-is-a-seriously-stinky-side-effect-of-wearing-masks/

And it doesn’t stop here. Just as the gut affects one’s body as a whole, so does the mouth. Thus, periodental disease (gum disease), which regular use of masks can cause, can in turn lead to strokes and heart attacks, as noted by Dr. Marc Sclafani of One Manhattan Dental (Ibid.)

(Interesting that the criminal World Health Organization, a major entity pushing the false COVID-19 narrative, is now discouraging “routine non-essential oral health care” in the name of fighting COVID-19. Could it be that they don’t want people discovering that masks are causing dental problems?)

So, as we can see, the use of masks in the context of COVID-19 is dangerous and should end immediately. As we noted, it was Christians who worked to end the horrible practice of foot binding. Will more Christians work to do the same regarding the unnecessary use of masks — the new face binding — or will many continue to tolerate or even support it?

Would we blindly support foot binding if we were told that it could help stop the spread of COVID-19? (No, you say, that’s absurd. Really? What if a government health “expert” said there was a scientific study “proving” it? Are we not blindly deferring to “experts” regarding the masks?)

If we wouldn’t blindly support foot binding, then why do we blindly support masks, which are also harmful — not to mention are a means of total societal subversion, subjugation, and slavery?

Will we continue to have blood on our hands, or will we say, “enough is enough” and work for social reform? Will we continue to look the other way to the detriment of our neighbor? How many must experience respiratory or other problems, or even die — especially the vulnerable, such as the elderly or children — before opposing face binding is a matter of loving our neighbor?

The powers that be may no intention of stopping their false, oppressive narrative — remember, masks are part of “the new normal.” How long we will be content with a ban on oxygen — which God gifted us for life?

Remember, “face binding” is prepping us for mandatory blood poisoning (vaccination) — an even more deadly form of state-inflicted violence.
