Friends, 

I've completed the first half of an essay—more like a book—on the mask phenomenon

(or cult). I'm sending it to News from Underground subscribers in three installments, as

it's pretty long. It's not just about the mask mandates, and their scientific groundlessness,

but about the power of war propaganda, and how best to see through it, and help others

do so as well.  

Let me orient you with a summary of the contents. After an introductory bit on the 

uncanniness of this moment (the August day when I started writing), Masking Ourselves 

to Death moves on to these subjects:

> The repressive measures used, since May, to enforce the mask mandates in Third

World countries, China, and throughout Europe;

> The sudden turnaround by Dr. Fauci, and the CDC and WHO, each of them first

discouraging healthy people from mask-wearing, then strongly urging everyone to

mask;

> The brutality with which masking has been enforced by cops in the US, and the

viciousness with which unmasked people have been treated by their masked fellow-

citizens;

> The national blackout on such incidents by the media, which has highlighted only 

instances of violence by unmasked people;

> How the propaganda drive for masking—including the media's one-sided coverage 

of such violence worldwide—recalls the formula for war-propaganda drives described 

by Hermann Goering during the first Nuremberg trials;

> How to "break the spell" of propaganda

1) "Keep your head" (i.e., use common sense, augmented by some knowledge

of the past, and of developments beyond our borders);

2) "Pay close attention to those men behind the curtain (a summary of the

many instances of COVID-19 "stars" like Dr. Fauci, the Cuomo brothers, the 

German president Frank-Walter Steineier and others not masking, usually 

off-camera, or otherwise flouting the very rules that they themselves have 

either imposed or vocally supported);

3) What the science says about the effectiveness of masks, and the media's

censorship/distortion of such evidence, and ad hominem attacks on those 

presenting it;

4) On "the science" finding that masks do prevent transmission of respiratory

viruses ("science" that's actually propaganda); 

5) What the science says about the ineffectiveness of masking by doctors 

performing surgery;

6) What the science says about the health hazards of masking among

healthcare professionals—and what OSHA consultants say about it; 

7) What's really happening, worldwide, to healthy people wearing masks,

which badly sicken them, and even kill them, more often than we know;

8) How pro-mask advocates "argue" ("Put on a fucking mask!"), and how

they themselves betray the very callousness and selfishness that they 

so lividly denounce (a section ending with a paragraph on the grotesque 

environmental toll of masking the world over). 

That's a rough paraphrase, as there's much more here than what I've just

described. I'll send the second and third parts of this first half over the next 

week or so.

I'm still at work on Part 2 ("Why is this happening?"), which gets into the 

real reasons for this propaganda push: an overview that sheds a lot of light 

on Bill Gates, and his "philanthropic" predecessors, among others. This 

second half  will help us better understand what's really going on, and 

the urgency of our uniting to resist it.

I'm sending you this section in the hope that you will share your 

editorial comments, corrections and/or whatever other examples

you might think I ought to cite, so that I can incorporate them into 

the final version, which I'm hoping to publish (somehow) next month.

Many thanks for your time and attention, and for your interest in this 

matter; I hope you find it helpful, as I've put a great deal into it, as (I

hope) you'll see.
