How can you regain freedom over your life and your mind?

By activating the amygdala: the fear centre. This tiny little red dot, part of the limbic system. 5/n
The limbic system is responsible for learning, memory, motivation, stress response, and guess what? the immune system.
The main structures are:
a) Amygdala: regulates fear

c) Hypothalamus: regulates the autonomic nervous system (breathing, digestion, heartbeat)
d) Thalamus: releases norepinephrine for alertness or in response to stress.

“At a very broad, bird’s eye view level, worldwide the IFR of COVID-19 [a measure of its lethality] this season may be in the same ballpark as the IFR of influenza (0.1%, 0.2% in a bad year).” - Dr John Ioannidis @StanfordMed

Have you seen how the police and the mask zealots have been behaving? Now you know why.
"Pope Innocent III banned masks as part of his fight against immorality" (Source 1) 18/n
In 2020, most countries are imposing face coverings in public, despite it being unwanted by many.
Governments are meddling with our dress code. 19/n
Masks have the effect of shutting people up and making them submissive. They sustain the fear and strip you of your human faculties.

The corrupt Lebanese government put the country in lockdown to flatten the “revolution”. As a result of the worsening economic situation, many healthcare workers were laid off and now the Lebanese people are paying for it by being denied access to care. 1/n
Here’s what would reduce mortality in #Lebanon:
1) protecting the vulnerable
2) increasing healthcare capacity
3) supporting healthcare workers
All impossible to do in a country that is gasping for dear life. 2/n
And yet the #Lebanese people are being blamed for not following guidelines and not following the rules.
The Lebanese people are not to blame. Wearing masks, social distancing, lockdowns and stupid curfews don’t do anything. 3/n
It is those politicians who transferred their money to Swiss accounts, while #Lebanese citizens can no longer transfer university fees for their children studying abroad, who are to blame.
Stop shifting the blame to the people. 4/n
Public health practitioners like @firassabiad and @petra who have bought blindly into the narrative are reinforcing this displaced scapegoating.
Please be aware of the harm of supporting the government’s narrative. 5/n

Humans inherently like the act of solidarity. We are social beings. We like to huddle up and be together.
They used this against us.
They convinced us that it was an act of solidarity to flatten the curve, to wear a mask for others, to take the vaccines for others,
and to reach #covidzero for others. They convinced us that this was for the greater good of society.
In reality, this couldn't be further away from the truth. They have divided us and broken the core structure of our society. They have dehumanized us with their masks.
They set us against each other into clans on opposite sides of a spectrum. They have turned us into aggressive beings fighting for our survival. Some of us fear harm from the virus, others fear harm from the vaccine, and yet others fear harm from the attack on our civilization.
We are all on a flight or fight mode. We are all operating under the influence of fear. We must collect ourselves and reflect on what has happened over the last year.
How is this for the greater good of society?
They used a tactical warfare strategy against us.
'Divide and conquer'.
We fell for it.
Now we must become aware of it and fight back.
We must reunite. We must find true solidarity to save our world. To free ourselves. To regain our autonomy.
They used this against us.

If there was ever a time in our lifetime to be non-partisan and for citizens of all walks of life globally to unite behind the basic fundamentals of humanity, freedoms, liberties, human rights, sovereignty, autonomy, dignity, empathy and compassion: it is now. https://t.co/Fa3ieEq51x
