Our Michigan Marxist gov Half-Wit signed an executive order recently requiring everyone to wear masks both in stores and NOW in &amp;quot;crowed open-air outdoors&amp;quot;. There is an exception to this saying, &amp;quot;Medically cannot tolerate a face covering&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gov Half-Wit claims she is using &amp;quot;science and data&amp;quot;, yet has not produced the evidence with the public or the MI Congress. She has also refused to present evidence to several FOIA requests which is against federal law. She is corrupt having been bought by Soros like the AG and Sec of State here. She has destroyed our economy, chastised all who stand up against her and continues to live the life of luxury the rest of us cannot afford. She and all other Marxist/democrats are poison/cancer for our country and YES it IS political whether you know/like it or not!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Sheriff&amp;#39;s office said they will enforce the EO and give a citation to anyone not in compliance with a $500.00 fine. As I walked through the market without a face covering (am medically exempt) 2 market workers came up demanding I either 1) wear the mask 2) leave or they call the police or 3) show proof of medical exemption by showing a note from a doctor. I cannot afford the $500.00 fine so I will have to get a note from mommy to prove my medical issues for not wearing a face covering. If the sheeple and others like you do not wake up soon we will have lost our freedoms and liberties and slip into hell. The medical literature I have documented in another article on masks show very little to no protection at all. This is ALL about control and destroying our country. PERIOD!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia and Maoist China folks.&lt;/p&gt;

Since they constitute a medical intervention, they require informed consent. Without that consent, the mandates are in violation of UN human rights law. Again, if masks protect the wearer, why does it matter if someone else doesn&amp;#39;t wear one? Same with vaccines; if they are effective, then the vaccinee is protected and should not care that another is not vaccinated. The arguments non-sensical and illogical.&lt;/p&gt;

It was part of a new idea for prisons which shifted from physical to psychological punishment. The documentary says the prisoners were required to wear face masks to prevent them from seeing each other&amp;#39;s faces and communicating. The diagrams show what look like the face masks (not hoods) we are now required to wear, allegedly to protect us from the spread of COVID-19. The masks impair interpersonal communication by preventing people from being able to see each other&amp;#39;s facial expressions, as well as muffling the sound of talking. The idea of mandating the wearing of face masks may be of carceral rather than medical origin, having something to do with social control.&lt;/p&gt;

The &amp;quot;authorities&amp;quot; are forever bragging about how they are going to &amp;quot;end&amp;quot; homelessness (one of many lies). Canada&amp;#39;s homelessness in these mega cities are the same as every other country - the numbers continue to rise. With all the talk about &amp;quot;caring&amp;quot; for our health; looking at these photos tells a different story. Large numbers of people and nobody wearing a mask...doesn&amp;#39;t seem to be a lot of concern about the &amp;quot;virus&amp;quot; spreading within this group. Contradictions abound! This has to be the biggest con job in history!&lt;/p&gt;

What&amp;#39;s been transpiring here, is about as abnormal as it gets!&lt;/p&gt;

It’s about people giving up their constitutional rights for illegal mandates and virus lies. Mercola has reported on these issues with vaccines, gates, Fauci, The Who and many others behind this. You give up your rights for a mask the next thing will be, down the line, you’ll be mandated to get the vaccine...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mercola also posted the planDemic documentary, there’s tons of evidence!&lt;/p&gt;
