The principles of ethics are quite simple; be just and honest. Throughout our historical existence businesses, politicians and many people have operated in a manner bereft of ethical foundations. Often covertly and shamefully, but, likely never done so more openly and boastfully than now. This decline in ethics -- the just and honest treatment of people -- threatens our security, financial integrity and overall way of life. This is why it is imperative that you boycott businesses currently engaged in unethical practices and send the likewise politicians packing.
The most blatant unethical practice currently prospering is the requirement by businesses and politicians that their customers or subjects wear face masks which is based on false presumptions. There are quite a few elements of these requirements which make them unethical and require that we, the just people, condemn most highly and seek to remove them from profiting from us or holding any position of power.
Here is the first unethical issue with face mask mandates and the masks being offered for compliance. The masks commonly accepted and used to meet the requirement that face coverings are to be worn are surgical masks. But these are specifically, by design, not capable of preventing the inhalation or expulsion of the SARS CoV-2 virus. That is according to the US Government. So, when someone predicates the mandate on “to reduce the spread of . . . “ knowing that the type of mask required or most likely to be offered and used does not reduce the spread then that is being dishonest -- unethical. Businesses choosing this route should be boycotted. I boycott for 20 years but you may choose a different period such as while the unethical practice continues or for life.
A second issue with the mask mandates is that no measurable standard has been set. Organizations such as the American National Standards Institute [ANSI] or Underwriters Laboratories [UL] test various products to determine their suitability or limitations for their specific claimed purposes. If you look at a motorcycle helmet or electrical appliance you will likely find an ANSI or UL compliance code number indicating that the product meets a certain minimum protection standard. Well, standards have also been established for respiratory filtration equipment such as face masks. These standards are based upon factors such as permeability and durability. Respiratory filtration devices can receive a rating as to whether they qualify for protection against debris, dust, aromatic chemicals, other fine particulate matter or the smaller virions such as SARS CoV-2. If, as has been claimed, the mask requirement is for our protection then a standard would be set to ensure that a chosen mask meets the minimum protection for filtering the SARS CoV-2 virion. The mask I made has 1mm permeability. In nanometers that is 1,000,000. However, the SARS CoV-2 virion is between 50 and 200 nanometers easily allowing it to pass through the gaps in the fabric weave which are up to 20,000 times larger than the virion.
Bill Gates has suggested that individuals who support the concept of having healthy people wear masks accost those who are not wearing them. I wrote about the potential civil and criminal liability HERE. I suggest this simple response to those soon to be proven hypocrites which does involve going to jail for punching the offender in the face. Simply say, “If you will take off your mask and use it as a filter for soiled toilet water and then drink the water then I will wear a mask. After all, fecal matter particles are larger than the SARS CoV-2 virion which is the alleged basis for wearing the mask.” Watch that not happen - deception proven.
What that is saying is that using a form fitting mask with replaceable filters will remove enough large dust particles as to not inhibit lung function.
A lie that is being perpetuated about the SARS CoV-2 virus is that it is deadly. But so far no conclusive evidence has been presented substantiating this claim. Conversely the Botulinum toxin has been proven to be deadly. Two billionths of a gram of botulinum toxin has been shown to be enough to be deadly. The Botulinum toxin acts by preventing the action potential of neurons emitting acetylcholine from firing. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter which the brain uses for muscle contraction. If a muscle, such as the heart, can’t contract then the ultimate outcome is death. This is the response in all humans exposed at that or a greater level. This is what determines its classification as deadly. Exposure to the SARS CoV-2 does not follow a similar pattern. Some people who have had greater exposures than others have had little or no adverse consequences while some of those receiving smaller doses have ultimately died. Thus, the virus is not deadly but falls into the category of antagonist or aggravating factor which can lead to complications resulting in death. This is similar to ice on the roads and vehicle crashes. Ice on roadways DOES NOT cause car wrecks as I have explained HERE. Likewise, SARS CoV-2 does not cause death. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Make a suggestion for me to write about.
Consider something else which is basically a hypocrisy. The same U S Government document which states that surgical masks are specifically, by design, not capable of preventing the inhalation or expulsion of the SARS CoV-2 virus states that N-95 type respirators can be effective in reducing viral transmission. Where it gets good is that it concludes by advising that the general public not be given N-95 type masks but, rather, cheap surgical type masks. Thus, according to the US Government the common masses of people should be given a type of mask that the government says it knows will not prevent the transmission of the SARS CoV-2 virus. Hence, this is why none of the mask mandates include a minimum filtration standard such as those recognized by ANSI or UL. The goal is to NOT prevent the spread of the SARS CoV-2 virus or the proliferation of Covid-19.
Here is an example of a hypocrisy which, by being a form of lying, is unethical. Someone says that he or she upholds and supports the founding principles of the United States of America. Yet you discover that he or she had made idols of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. The clear hypocrisy here is that a fundamental tenet of the Declaration of Independence is the equity of all men in their human state - that no man is presumed more fit than another because of noble title. Men are to be judged by their intrinsic worth not their familial lineage. This was so fundamental that the United States Constitution specifically forbids granting titles of nobility.[fn1] For one to say that he or she supports this principle and then to contradict that by supporting and lauding someone specifically because of his or her title of nobility is a hypocrisy -- a type of lie. It is not a just act to honour Princess Diana because of her title of nobility but not the peasant women with whom she grew up alongside that may have made better contributions to society. It is neither just nor honest to be hypocritical -- unethical.
The next issue is that blanket mandates treat all people equally as though each is a vile, disease ridden varmint. I really find it to be poor customer service to treat a potential customer, at the door, as though he or she is a dirty infected scumbag although having done nothing to deserve such distinction. It is also unjust. Similar practices were hotly debated regarding people infected with the HIV virus. In that instance it was accepted that people who were positive for HIV could be treated in a disparate manner in situations involving possible modes of transmission. That was judicious and just -- ethical. To treat non diseased people as though they are a detestable contaminant to a business location is not only rude but unjust -- unethical. Again, a boycott is appropriate.
Here is something else to consider about face masks as they relate to mining operations.
The most commonly needed respiratory protection in mining operations is dust protection. Coal dust as well as most other ambient dusts can be effectively filtered using an inexpensive quarter facepiece dust mask. The type which uses an elastomer nose/mouth cover and replaceable filters is effective. The moulded throw-away fibre-cup type respirator is not effective.
Welding, flame cutting, use of solvents, handling of fuels, blasting and other operations can produce air-borne contaminants that require the use of twin cartridge respirators to remove combinations of dust, mists, fumes, organic vapours and acid gases. In these cases, the need for protection for the miner will be indicated by measurement of the contaminants, usually performed locally, using detector tubes or portable instruments. The appropriate respirator is worn until the mine ventilation system has cleared the contaminant or reduced it to levels that are acceptable.
That means for removing some of the smaller particles a face mask with dual respirators is needed. These are the ones that appear to have a small can on each cheek.
Interestingly, mine operators, who have employees wearing these types of masks, are none-the-less halting operations in an effort to prevent the transmission of the virus. Thus, mined commodities like Silver are seeing price increases and supply dampens. Apparently, being acutely aware of the limitations of these two types of masks shown, mine operators have determined that they do not mitigate the risks posed by an extremely tiny virion.
These liars have a specific insidious agenda. They are purposefully trying to make you fearful of the SARS CoV-2 virus. They call it deadly when it is not. They claim that it is so virulent that it manages to spread although extensive and incredibly restrictive quarantine actions have taken places. They purposefully recommend that the general public use a mask not intended or capable of preventing the viral transmission. The want you to be fearful.
Psychologist John Watson said in regards to getting someone to go against his natural inclinations and basically buy your product or align with your agenda to “tell him something that will tie him up with fear, something that will stir up a mild rage, that will call out an affectionate or love response, or strike at a deep psychological or habit need.”
There are people that want you to be in fear, they want you to get angry, they want to touch upon your emotional needs. They want you to give up something you hold precious.
I am putting out here now a not “politically correct” truth; there is a hint of factual basis to racial or gender based stereotypes. I say hint because the stereotype is generally greatly exaggerated. It’s like saying stick built houses get blown away in tornadoes while brick houses withstand them. Brick houses may withstand them a tad better but a direct hit would be a major assault on either.
Businesses and politicians nowadays seem to have no problem making broad generalizations about people that do not correspond directly to the claim. They are treating all humans as though they are disease plagued rodents without any consideration as to whether the individual actually exhibits the characteristics of a disease plagued rodent. It is the exact same thinking as racial and sex based discrimination -- some other people in their category have a particular trait so I will treat this person as though he or she does also.
Here is another tidbit to ponder. It is known that the SARS CoV-2 virus has been carried on animals and that animals have become infected. Yet, are service animals required to wear masks as are the people with whom they walk alongside? I am not going to bother with exploring and analyzing all the exemptions for people to avoid wearing masks.
I am going to continue to not wear a face mask, I will socialize closely in large or small groups, I will give hugs and kisses. I will live as I always have with NO regard for the SARS CoV-2 virus. I will do so because that is the ethical thing to do. Also because it aids my immune system as I wrote about HERE.
An ethical person has a responsibility to shun or punish those who are unethical. Businesses who engage in unethical practices have long been boycotted for doing so. Politicians have been removed from office either through pressure to resign or by an absence of favourable votes in the following election.
For most businesses I am opting for a 20 year boycott at which time I will re-evaluate their suitability to receive my funds. For some, like Dollar Tree, I will go in and buy one item and pay using a $20 bill. Another strategy which can really put the pinch on these unscrupulous profiteers is to buy a product using a credit card then return it for a full refund. Generally, they pay the processing fees then have to restock and get nothing for it. But in the case of some products they have to declare it as a total loss. That’s how you can really put the hurt on them.
