Recently we’ve seen the confluence of a number of global collective energies. First we’ve had the mass pandemonium of Covid-19, the pandemic to end all pandemics, or so we were instructed to believe. Then the anti-5Gs paired up with the anti-vaxxers, now rebranded as pro-choice, and then #BLM took off thanks to the horror of George Floyd’s brutal murder at the hands of USA police. This then erupted into a statue-toppling anti-slavery consciousness, which is still part of the original narrative because as Stasia Bliss declared on Facebook, slaves were often forced to wear masks and now it’s possibly soon to be our turn.
Hats off to all people who are courageous enough to exhibit their points of view on Facebook – and in this case, Sastia’s viewpoint triggered many other people, both agreeing with her and disagreeing, and even though there are many gaps, this is in part how the Facebook narrative evolved …
Stasia:
You can’t tell me this is about health. Who will comply?
Look at these images of slavery and servitude.
The first 4 are slave images and how they kept slaves quiet (hey #BLM people – aren’t you against this?) and the last one is a woman’s gag called a scold’s bridle, used in Scotland but adopted likely from England used between the 16th-19th century -It was a device used to control, humiliate and punish gossiping, troublesome women by effectively gagging them. hmmmm troublesome, ey?
I claim the 13th.
Under the United States Constitution 13th Amendment:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
The responses came thick and fast, and I admire all who put their views out there …
Ashley Cappelletty:
As you and I both know. This gag wasn’t just physical it was a spiritual gag too that went beyond the 1960’s. It’s happening all around us. Every single day. I cringe every time I see people say All Lives Matter. That’s exactly what you are doing to people voicing their pain. You’re gagging them for your own comfort and pleasure. So, we don’t have to look at the past and feel any gravity or any responsiblity. But, I didn’t own slaves and neither did my ancestors. That is a back handed way of saying I want no part in looking at the horrible things done to or even part of looking at the collective shadows that make up our current society. That’s called denial. You can’t live in denial and expect no effect of the statements would you make. So the backlash than most people feel or get as a result of wanting to deny another person a voice comes from already having been cut down and silenced. In my family I have to raise my voice in order to be heard so on the collective level right now that is what is being done to any kind of Injustice or sense of pain and Trauma that is occurring. For so long we lived in denial of pain and suffering. The older Generations that has no service because in an older time we weren’t even allowed to speak about our pain. We weren’t even allowed come look at our pain. There are no safe places AND safe conditions. If you spoke out you were labeled crazy. Or your house is burnt down because you spoke the truth. In an older generation truth feelers and true Sayers lived in a very dangerous time. But the truthsayers are being reborn and now that we are in an energy that is working in our benefit, we have an obligation to change the course in the directory that had been given to us. But any of the truth that keeps us in an old energy burn to the ground. Those who want the status quo to remain the same as a did in an old energy crumble. You can’t silence goodness you can’t hide the Shadow and the vampirism of it. You can’t say that you’re a good person and believe in compassion when you force another person to swallow their own pain and suffering without offering them the Dignity of listening to what they have gone through. That is the purpose of a sacred Witness. Too many people on a collective level are and have been denied that sacred prerogative. THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY, so that we can change and actually listen to what’s going on around us. You can’t sit on a fence regarding someone else’s suffering and say oh well it doesn’t affect me. Because the reality is we live in a holographic Universe what affects one affects the whole. Times are changing get with it or you’re going to get left behind.

Trump tweeted on May 28th “the mandated use of face masks represents a “culture of silence, slavery, and social death.” though Twitter deleted it.
But here is the article that quotes him: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/trump-shares-tweet-that-says-masks-represent-slavery-and-social-death-2020-5
Miranda Phoenix Blankenship:
The president has always been censored lol! Any president is censored … All presidents are puppets. Politics ARE a game. If you think Trump is on our side I’m really sad to know it. He’s on greed and money’s side and nothing more.
You’re really willing to listen to a money-hungry businessman who’s a sexual predator? And you trust what he says? You really truly believe that the masks are taking away our freedom? It’s a mask that you wear to prevent the spread of a virus or at least to try. And you think that Trump is our savior? I’m confused and really sad that this is your belief system right now. How can you believe that Trump is on the side of good if there is a good and evil here? He cares absolutely nothing for the people of this planet and each and every one of you know that in your heart …why are you being brainwashed into believing otherwise?
Ashley Avenger Wu:
Well luckily we are starting to understand that our entire being is a frequency, is a word, is speech. We are much more evolved than we were in those times.
Rachel Shores:
The difference is a cloth mask doesn’t stop you from talking. Doctors and surgeons have been wearing masks forever. How are they being silenced and suppressed as a career choice? Masks are used only at certain times, in enclosed public spaces. Not as shaming, not all day. I take my mask on and off when I’m out in public. I don’t talk to people in public as it is. I notice 2 differences 1. It’s hard and hot to breathe and feels like a panic attack so I have to be mindful that I’m not adding to the feeling with my thoughts. 2. I no longer feel like I have to perform for strangers. Resting bitch face it is and I don’t have to think about how people see me. Germany cases continue to go down. US cases continue to rise. Discussing feelings is pointless when people are dying. Dying. Go ahead and feel repressed, suppressed, sensored, controlled, whatever just stop spreading a deadly virus. I trust my nervous system to beat Corona. I don’t want to spread it to others that might not survive. If feeling panicky while I buy some groceries is what it takes for some strangers to survive then I’m fine with that. This is the butterfly affect of tiny choices that we may not ever be able to track. Algorithms show it works with countries implementing masks.
Steve Bennett:
I am stunned by this conflating of wearing a mask as a Public Health Service with being a slave. I guess having to wear a seat belt makes you a slave too. Or a bicycle helmet. 126,000 citizens dead so far and new cases increasing exponentially is no hoax. In my opinion this should not be about politics. Did you watch yesterday’s virus task force press conference? Trump’s administration is calling for mask wearing. All of HIS expert’s, that he put into place, are calling for mask wearing. Being a good citizen and trying to stop the spread of this disease takes precedence over your personal freedom, in. my opinion. If you had measles would you go outside and mingle with others? Or would that. are you a slave too?
Alicia Kwon:
A unified field of love will reveal the Truth. When good people go at each other, it only entrenches duality. I would love to see more people trying look at it from another’s perspective. If you are a person who believes masks do a great public good and you observe tat some people feel gagged and that is a sign of slavery, can we have empathy for that? And the reverse…so many woke people judging those who truly believe they are being considerate and helping avoid the spread of a deadly disease. That information may be based on manipulated, faulty data from the perspective of those who do not share that view, but many good, kind people who care about others really believe in it. I believe deeply in freedom and I believe deeply in unity, love, consideration of others, empathy and learning to listen across our divides.
Kat Howell:
As someone who worked in a sterile facility and wore masks and gloves 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to avoid contaminating the items I was working with:
-This is the dumbest thing I will read all day.
-They absolutely keep you from spreading germs. If you don’t believe this, stop wearing pants and underwear. Encourage others to do the same. You’ll feel comfortable sitting on that chair they just left, right?
-Trying to claim that your piece of cloth on your face is in any way comparable to metal scold bridles is ridiculous. You’re trying out for the Oppression Olympics and placing last. Stop it.
Paget Norton:
Slave with Iron Muzzle
When persons being held as slaves were accused by their masters of insubordination, or of eating more than their allotment of food, they might expect to be fitted with an iron muzzle. In his autobiography, Olaudah Equiano described his first encounter with such a device in the mid-1700s. . .
“I had seen a black woman slave as I came through the house, who was cooking the dinner, and the poor creature was cruelly loaded with various kinds of iron machines; she had one particularly on her head, which locked her mouth so fast that she could scarcely speak, and could not eat or drink. I [was] much astonished and shocked at this contrivance, which I afterwards learned was called the iron muzzle.”
Slave with Iron Muzzle is an illustration from the 1839 publication, Souvenirs d’un aveugle, by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago.

A cloth mask is the same as an iron muzzle?
Do better, Stasia. You’re neither enslaved nor muzzled.
And so this discussion went on, and it was refreshing for the casual observer to say the least. Strong opinions were voiced by strong people. Somehow we’re so often “woke” in different ways. Lifetime friends are up in arms against each other like never before.
