The Iron Curtain is a term for the 7,000-kilometre-long (4,300 mi) physical barrier of fences, walls, minefields, and watchtowers that divided the "east" from the "west"in Eurasia in the mid-twentieth century. The Berlin Wall was also part of this physical barrier that separated fascist East Germany from liberal West Germany. (Source: Wikipedia).
I thought I was free….
I remember as a boy in the 1960s watching post-WW2 movies that showed walls of stone, brick and barbed wire that were defended by guards, armed with rifles and perched high on wooden towers, so that they could capture and/or kill any citizen who attempted to escape to the “west”. Until recently, I have always been thankful and proud that men like my dad fought in WW2 to ensure that my life and freedom would not be constrained in such a despicable manner.
…. not as free as I had thought!
Today, however, I cannot travel out of Canada. I don’t have a vaccine passport. My father, who has been dead for 30 years, would be livid that Government-paid border officials can demand to see a government-issued QR code to allow me to travel to see my daughter (his grand-daughter) in Ohio. He would rightly ask how Canadians have come to the point that their compliance to accept an unconstitutional injection of an experimental drug could be a legal necessity to board a plane, train, boat or road vehicle outside of Canada.
It feel like a prisoner in the land of my birth - like I live behind a Digital Iron Curtain.
Government coercion is not a feature of a genuine democracy.
Some would say that I could regain my travel freedom by simply complying - it’s my choice. However, my conscience would forever remind me that I had not complied freely, but under duress. My compliance would signify a lie - that I had trusted the oft-repeated official message that the Covid ‘vaccine’ was “safe and effective” when I had never believed this to be true. In fact, this message has since been proven to be NOT TRUE. I expected this outcome when I learned that the Stage 3 clinical trial for Pfizer was cancelled after only 6 months and Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) was granted on only the initial 2 months of clinical data.
Some say I’m stubborn.
I don’t exactly know why I am compelled to insist on my right to make my own informed choices concerning medical treatments rather that trusting “the authorities”. My personal sovereignty has always been very important to me. Maybe it’s because I am my dad’s son and, in my own small way, I feel compelled to fight for my rights and freedoms.
While some may think me foolish for not complying, I don’t regret the choices I have made …. at least so far. Only time will tell if those choices will prove wise.
