Monty Python & The Ministry

of Silly Face Mask Rituals
Monday, June 6, 2022
Dear Reader,
Today, grown men, without a peep of protest, don a face mask to walk five feet to their table in a restaurant, only to sit down and take it off. It looks like a rejected Monty Python skit. And they do this silly ritual, not to protect themselves from a deadly disease, but because they're too anxious to bear a few nasty looks or a single reprimand.
During my guest appearance on Dr. Kevin Barrett's Truth Jihad radio show on Friday, we had a slightly taboo conversation about how such lack of courage is partially a consequence of liberality around sex (outside of marriage).
You can listen to mine and Barrett's full discussion for a small membership fee on Substack or for free an the UNZ Review.

PS Tonight, at 8pm EST, I'll be live again. This time on Ab's Fakeologist Show talking about how I wrote a fake story to expose a fake medical emergency. If you'd like to talk with Ab and me about COVID, my novel or your favourite Monty Python skit, here are the Orwellian call-in numbers: (810) 666-1984 (USA) and (902) 400-1984
