Antelope Island is the largest island in the Great Salt Lake.

On March 15th, 2021, I ran to the island’s highest peak. One of the best things about my run was my conversation with a strong, healthy, outgoing 73-year-old man who was living life to the fullest.
The worst thing about my run was my grim encounters with two different couples who were obvious members of the Covid Death Cult (CDC).

I greeted both couples with a friendly hello. They kept their eyes down and their mouths presumably shut, hidden behind their suffocators. Correction: one woman had her face exposed, but as I approached, she pulled the front of her hoodie up over her mouth and nose.
Of course, it is personally insulting to know that millions of people consider my breath to be toxic, but this is not about me. It’s about the fact that cult leaders have successfully inducted a record number of people into their cult in record time.

Cults are usually characterized as a small group of zealots who believe their salvation is based on following the bizarre truth claims of charismatic charlatans. I stand in awe and disgust at the success of the high priests/charlatans of the Covid Death Cult in turning their cult into a mainstream religion, infecting, as would be expected, members of the church of Scientism. What is surprising is the success these charlatans have also had infecting most, if not all, traditional religions and many of their followers.

To be clear, the central tenets of the Covid Death Cult are demonstrably false. The dreaded virus, whatever it may or may not be, with its 99+% survival rate, did not and does not justify the destruction of global economies and agricultural systems which is wreaking havoc and death around the world.

Cult leaders know full well that disease projections were wildly exaggerated as are death counts even as they quote these fabricated figures to scare people into their cult.
Cult leaders know that the symptoms of the virus are treatable, even as they proclaim there is no treatment.

Cult leaders know that masks are at best useless and at worst lethal, even as they proclaim that masks act as a magic talisman against “the invisible enemy.”
Cult leaders know that closing schools and masking children is government sponsored, culturally sanctioned, and scientifically indefensible child abuse even as they call for closed schools and masked children.

Cult leaders know that viruses transmit regardless of lockdowns. They know that the effects of lockdowns result in far more harm than good even as they declare that lockdowns save lives.
Cult leaders know that the use of unregulated PCR tests is nothing short of fraud, used to generate profits and to create false data to scare or placate cult members as needed.

Cult leaders know that experimental gene therapies marketed as vax$ines were not designed to prevent infection or transmission. They know that these experimental drugs cannot and will not result in herd immunity. They know that these drugs will likely negatively impact human fertility. They know that a percentage of vulnerable people including the elderly, recently infected, and other subgroups die shortly after receiving and as a direct consequence of the drugs. They know that those who survive will be at increased risk of a host of medical issues in the coming months, years, and decades. They know all of these facts while they deny them and while pumping billions of dollars into their propaganda machine to convince otherwise intelligent people that these dangerous, gene altering drugs are “safe and effective”, “nothing short of miraculous”, and a “literal godsend”.

Cult leaders know that free speech and discourse and honest scientific research will weaken and destroy their cult. That’s why they will stop at nothing to ensure that their dogma fills the air waves, the print media, academic journals, social media, churches, schools, and town halls. Those who voice contrary opinions — regardless of credentials — must be silenced.

They know that this pandemic is not about a virus, it’s about power, control, surveillance, domination, corruption, greed, revolution, and genocide. It is, in fact, the greatest heist, the greatest transfer of power, and very likely the greatest holocaust in the history of the world.

What these cult leaders don’t and can’t know are the unforeseeable effects and outcomes of their actions in spite of their planning. Will viruses become more infectious and more dangerous as a result of their gene therapies? Will mothers be doomed to give birth to impaired offspring if they are able to conceive and carry their babies to term? Will their own families be affected or destroyed as well?

Tyrannical cult leaders enjoy their moment of fame and power, but, inevitably, they fall. There will come a time when even the most devout cult members will be shaken from their trance. They will burn their suffocators, breathe clean air, and embrace humanity as they exit the cult. Some of them will become warriors standing in defense of their freedom, families, and countries.

The only question remaining is how many people and how many generations will suffer and die before the Great Awakening reaches a tipping point when cult leaders are held, tried, and convicted for what is undoubtedly the greatest collection of crimes ever perpetrated upon humanity?

May God grant us strength, clarity and peace of mind as we work toward that day when we can all hike trails without threat of punishment, safely speak our minds, and rejoice as we reclaim our God-given, inalienable rights.

P.S. One year ago today I published my initial thoughts on the pandemic. Some two weeks later my employer used that blog as an excuse to fire me, an event they had no doubt been planning for years. I shared the story in a blog titled Free At Last published on April 6, 2020. Since then, my former employer has made the experimental use vax$ine a prerequisite for newly hired employees. It is my understanding that such a requirement is illegal. Even members of the U.S. military are not required to submit to this emergency use authorized gene therapy. There is much work to be done.
