    In Chicago, 2000 have not yet given proof of vaccination as required by their extremely liberal mayor. A retired Milwaukee officer yesterday told me that the 2000 are going to resign. Chicago has a 12,000 person force, and is already down in numbers. If you live in Chicago, stay indoors and be prepared to defend yourself.

    Some officers who are qualified with time & service are going to retire. The mayor has threatened to withhold letting them retire. Really? Have we really fallen this far, this fast?

    But according to @JonC, this is what real freedom looks like.

    Please provide a quote that I said withholding retirement from police officers is freedom.

    What I said is that people should not strip the freedom of businesses owners to decide how they run their business, within the confines of the law.

    You and @Revmitchell have repeatedly rejected that in favor of a socialistic approach to business.

    You are the Republican side of "democratic socialism " and I believe a danger to the freedoms of our nation.

    Yes according to Jon’s logic the freedom of business owners to refuse to do business with minorities is socialist.

    He repeatedly shows his ignorance about capitalism, socialism and our constitution.

    Unbelievable. This may be when we learn whether or not America is still governed by law, depending on the court cases that develop from these events.

    If cities do this in rural and suburban areas, where it's all volunteer, it is going to do 1 of 2 things:
    1. Decimate emergency services by 80% to 90%
    2. Cause the emergency services to ignore the government

    In NC 70% of us firefighters are volunteers. I.E when we get a call at 1 am that your house is on fire, we leave our families in bed, race to our station, load up our trucks, and head to your call to save you and your property and monitor it for the next 3 to 6 hours. We get a stipend of $5 per call for the gallon of gas it takes to get to station. That's all we get. It's all volunteer. Now try telling a volunteer that they need to get medicine that they don't deem safe and see what happens. I'll tell you what's going to happen, we're going to QUIT!

    My fire department is only somewhere around 25% vaccinated. Of those whom are vaccinated they are ALL above 50 years old and meet the right risk profile for vaccination. When there's a structure fire, or car fire, or car accident these older folks are not the ones who will be toting 2.5 inch heavy, charged hose lines, and they will not be the ones entering structure fires with SCBAs and hauling people out. The young people, typically under 45, will be doing that, which are the exact people who will get fired or quit.

    If the government forces this onto Fire Departments then the state will rightly lose almost ALL of their fit, able-bodied firefighters and EMTs and be left with nothing but Captains and Chiefs that are knowledgeable, but unable to perform what they know must be done.

    The departments response times will go down. The district's structures will burn uncontrolled. People's families will burn alive in structure fires all because of absolute fools who think mandating medicine into my body is "Good". There will be NFPA violations ALL over the board because departments will NOT be able to muster a fully staffed attack team anymore to control a fire.

    We ceased being governed by law when the IRS targeted the Tea Party back in 2012 in my opinion. That was the start of the "two justice systems".

    You have just described the precise scenario the dems desire for this country. This would just be one more DEMOCRATIC created crisis that they would “not let go to waste”!
    Just factor in the EMS, all law enforcement agencies, & many businesses & then what have you got in the way of crisises??????

    I’ve been holding out hope for a reprieve in ‘22, but I’m not sure the “powers that be” will allow the unvaxed to vote at that time!?!?!?

    Taken from the October issue of “The Prophecy Watcher” magazine.

    Article -- 7 Reasons Why The Covid Vaccine Is Not The Mark Of The Beast

    Three paragraphs from the article follow:

    Despite that the covid vaccination has nothing to do with the mark of the beast, it’s becoming obvious to many discerning believers that satan is using the so-called pandemic and the unproven vaccination for his evil purposes. Regardless of how it got here satan now controls the covid narrative and is using it to manipulate the world in the run-up to the tribulation.

    It seems likely that satan will continue to weaponize covid as one of his most effective tools for the foreseeable. Much of the world is closing down to anyone not vaccinated and it looks like it will come down to a battle in the United States, which seems to be hanging by a thread as the last bastion of freedom.

    Explain how forcing people to comply with something that is virtually untested concerning the long term effects is a good thing. The reality that Americans now must face is that our government is forcing people out of their livelihood and possibly into the streets for not taking a vaccination that is unproven and suspect at best.


    This article says what I have wanted to - & many of you have - but couldn’t find the right words.

    Don’t matter how much faith you have in the vax, or believe the talking science heads, THE LONG TERM EFFECTS ARE NOT, repeat, NOT KNOWN, & the resulting economic/mental/health issues from following this path will be devastating to us if AMERICA continues to let the fearful control freaks continue to call the shots!
