The U.S. government doesn’t give a shit about you.
US Department of Defense give 1 million masks to IDF
They have other people’s property they plan to steal, so they might come into close contact with some of their victims, and catch the Covid, which would be a real tragedy.
White House sez wear a mask, I wear a mask. But I don’t expect to get hired as a mask consultant.
For the record: I’ve been wearing masks for several weeks. In my March 24 Daily Caller oped on Pandemic Security Theater, I wrote: “Before granting politicians any more powers, we should recognize how the pandemic became a fiasco in part due to federal follies and falsehoods. The feds urged people not to bother wearing facemasks but widespread use of surgical masks could have “flattened the curve.”

From the Free Thought Project: WATCH: Cops Violate Social Distancing to Arrest Innocent Dad for Playing in a Park with 6yo Daughter
Brighton, CO — Over the weekend, Matt Mooney, his wife, and their 6-year-old daughter were playing t-ball at an empty park when a half dozen cops showed up and kidnapped Mooney. The family was not in violation of any law, were obeying social distancing mandates, and had harmed absolutely no one.
Mooney tells TFTP that the city issued an order that all parks were closed during the COVID-19 shutdown. However, the open spaces at the parks were still accessible as long as certain rules were followed. In fact, the sign at the park at which Mooney and his family were playing read as follows: “Closed” but just below that part, the sign reads, “in groups of no more than 4 persons, parks remain open for walking, hiking, biking, running and similar activities.”
Mooney was in a group of three and violated none of the park’s or city’s rules. The only people violating the social distancing guidelines were the cops who showed up to arrest him.
