While men were migrating eastward, they discovered a valley in the land of Sennaar and settled there. Many people, yours truly included, believe that the Tower of Babel is the perfect symbol of secular society. Note that the Tower of Babel was constructed of bricks. Bricks have four characteristics. First, they are unnatural and artificial. Second , they are identical and uniform. Third , they are functionally undifferentiated and interchangeable.
A brick can serve equally well anywhere in a wall. Fourth , they are all but worthless. So what if you lose a brick. There are hundreds more just like it. What could be more unnatural and artificial than a society that rejects God? In such a state, citizens will be made to conform to uniform standards and will lose their individuality. And, because they have lost all uniqueness, they will become utterly worthless [2].
If then any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the former things have passed away; behold, they are made new! In opposition to the Tower of Babel, we have a new creation. This is how Saint Peter describes this new creation:. Draw near to him [viz. Christ], a living stone, rejected indeed by men but chosen and honored by God.
Be you yourselves as living stones , built thereon into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. There you have it. Bravely standing against secular society , the Tower of Babel, built of bricks, we have a new creation, the Church, a temple built of living stones.
Living stones have four characteristics. First, living stones are not just natural, but supernatural. Second, they are utterly unique. No two are exactly alike. Third, they are irreplaceable. A stone that occupies a particular place in a wall can fit nowhere else.
Fourth, they are extremely precious. What could be more supernatural than a society in which Christ dwells? In the eyes of Jesus, every human being is utterly unique and unrepeatable. What two human beings are exactly alike? In the Church, every person is irreplaceable , because each one of us has a mission no one else can fulfill.
Finally, in the heart of Christ, every human being is precious, because every one of us is made in the image and likeness of God. Each one of us, therefore, has infinite value. The question is this: Which would I rather be—a brick in secular society or a living stone in the temple of the Church?
In the former edifice, we lose our identity. In the latter, we become who we are meant to be. Lewis puts it this way. When He talks of their losing their selves, He means only abandoning the clamour of self-will; once they have done that, He really gives them back all their personality, and boasts…that when they are wholly His they will be more themselves than ever. Unnatural bricks versus supernatural stones. Secular society versus the Kingdom of God. Interchangeable cogs versus irreplaceable persons.
Here even children are required to bounce their balls simultaneously in precise rhythm. This brave new world at first appears to be quite utopian, but we soon learn that euthanasia and infanticide are essential features of a colorless world. Back to the original article:. God has been putting together His many-membered body in Christ for some 2, years now.
And we follow that command by exposing the occult rituals of the powers-that-be. We stop participating in the global rituals and their components. And we resume our work for the Lord. We walk together, in Christ, tightly knit. Never six feet apart, physically or spiritually. But always know that these thoroughly addled, out-of-work hall monitors are out there, and they despise you for your choice of not consenting to the new order:.
There are basically four stages to an isolation ritual:. Stage 3 : Sacrifice. No gift can be given without something being taken. Stage 4 : Submission. Think: Mandatory vaccines. Social tracing. The willing acceptance of new rules for a new order. At the website AvoidtheMark.
In this stage, the initiate is separated from the mundane. In other words, the majority of what the initiate sees, hears, smells, touches and tastes, is deliberately controlled. Whether dramatically overt or deceitfully subtle, the ritual reinterprets reality ; a new definition of reality is given. Training in the form of new behaviors and knowledge, including myths and codes are introduced.
New mythologies are created for the new world, by our new masters. So, there you have it. The world today is undergoing a four-part occult ritual initiation and transformation ceremony — largely conducted through symbology, as virtually all occult rituals are — and designed to bring everyone, willingly and subserviently, into the new global order.
The global occult ritual of mask-wearing signals your consent to your new, subservient position, under your new masters, and the loss of your position as a vocal representative of, or mouthpiece for, the Word of God on this earth. The global occult ritual of handwashing represents the washing away of the old order i. The Mark of the Beast. All told, these ongoing occult initiation rituals — the wearing of masks…the washing of hands…the six feet of separation…the lockdowns — are the direct precursor, if you will, to accepting the Mark of the Beast.
Now, the Bible tells us that the Mark of the Beast is placed in the forehead and on the right hand Revelation of those who willingly take it.
But what if the infamous Mark of the Beast is not a visible mark, at all? Not a vaccine. Not a tattoo. But instead, an invisible , spiritual mark?
In other words, what if the Mark of the Beast on the right hand and in the forehead simply means the people buy into the new system, hand-and-mind?
Symbolically speaking, first the initiate willingly believes the deceptive story being promulgated by the powers-that-be i. You now belong to the powers-that-be, hand-and-mind. And willingness — even eagerness — to work within that Satanic system, to its benefit. Revelation And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
The only difference at this point is that Satan is not yet physically here to deceive people with his miracles into joining his global beast system and installing him as its god. The beast commanded the ritual initiation of the people of this earth, and literally billions of people worldwide fell into stride and unwittingly yet quite willingly participated, hand-and-mind, in their ritual. Think about it. And that banner read:. Mark And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:.
Mark For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. Mark But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. Or, you can choose to remain a living stone in the Temple of the Most High God I Peter , and stand firm in your purpose as a vessel through which His Word is transmitted to others.
God and Plagues Then and Now. Red Alert! Anyone to reopen would have to make sure that they walked into a business that had masks. Be an example to the country and wear the mask.
Trump realDonaldTrump June 16, Source: Why will no one in the White House wear a mask? Neither has tested positive for the coronavirus. The U. With masks now mandatory in AZ please read—This is from a person who is osha certified as a nurse in Gilbert, AZ and its very eye opening… Please read!! I know some of you are too. Okay so upon further inspection OSHA says some masks are okay and not okay in certain situations.
That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breathe straight out, without filtration. The amount of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are, CLOG these masks very quickly. You mean the American flag one my aunt made? The one with sunflowers that looks so cute?
As you exhale you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually risks health. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew ridden over night. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask.
Ultimate Answer: N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person. The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. From: janice Sent: Friday, June 19, PM Subject: Listener Comment: There is a dentist here who due to the constant wearing of a face mask bacteria damaged her face and she needs to have skin grafts and plastic surgery to fix it Ohio Rep.
Republican Ohio State Rep. Nino Vitale released a video showing a live experiment with students who placed an oxygen-reading device into their face masks to check if the levels were safe. Patequi Yu. Oxygen deprivation levels from mask-wearing violates OSHA standards Video of a man using an air quality monitor to prove that wearing masks creates unsafe work conditions is going viral as the national debate about masks intensifies in the face of rising coronavirus cases.

Look it up. Normal oxygen level is anywhere from 20 to He then demonstrates the normal oxygen level without wearing a mask by placing the reading tube near his uncovered mouth, which gave a normal reading. After watching this, how many children do you see wearing masks for long periods of time?
Are they going to be required to wear a mask at school? How will this affect their mental growth? Children need O2!!!! If you think about it. IF you have Covid and are wearing a mask? Then you are breathing the virus back into your system making it even harder for your body to heal!
Just thinking out loud here. Decreased O2 sats are bad with covid, right??? MdKnightBabe Absolutely, because Covid already depletes the oxygen level in the blood. You can find videos explaining this process. Also, you would be breathing in the virus you just exhaled which puts overtime on your body fighting it.
The masked individual is then breathing in those aerosolized toxic chemicals. The same applies to people who are relatively healthy but have E. Brand new products just taken out of a box are notorious for outgassing various chemical toxins. In the case of a new mask, which is placed right over the mouth and nose, these airborne chemicals go right into both airways.
Therefore, patients stricken with the novel coronavirus ought to be spared from such a misguided practice. A chemical overwhelm can even trigger a respiratory condition that compels the attending physician to put the patient on a ventilator which ought to be strictly avoided for COVID patients.
Even after wearing a mask for a short period of time it becomes filthy. Not only is the mask capturing particulate and chemical pollution from the ambient air, the accumulation of these throughout the course of a day further obstructs the necessary breathing process. What will inevitably develop regarding the mask is a worst-case scenario that can push the patient onto a ventilator.
This is only one reason so many hospital inpatients are being vented; the inappropriate treatment plans also include specific pharmaceutical drugs that are strongly contraindicated for Coronavirus syndrome. Anyone who has ever worn a tight, scratchy, synthetic mask knows they are so uncomfortable they want to take it off as soon as they put it on. And, that the longer they feel compelled to wear the mask, the more depressing the whole experience becomes. Not only is this discomfiting experience physically depressing for all the reasons explained above, it can also become emotionally distressing.
There is a LOT of anecdotal evidence that proves the longer the mask is worn throughout the day, the more dispiriting. Likewise, the more days or weeks of continuous mask-wearing, the more distressful life becomes. The best example of this new fact of life can be found in the many stores where the employees have been forced to wear a mask during the entire work day. Clearly, they are not happy.
Nor are they as helpful as they used to be. Particularly in warmer climes such as the American Deep South and Southwest, people need to be extremely careful about needlessly wearing a mask. For children, masks can be downright fatal. Similarly, the elderly ought to be wary about being bullied into mask-wearing, specifically those with chronic or acute respiratory ailments.
Those individuals with certain underlying conditions, notably the older and infirm, can be much more vulnerable to heat exhaustion during the hot season. Medical experts in Japan say wearing a mask during the hot summer greatly increases risk of heatstroke. There have been a lot of people presenting face mask exemption cards across the nation and it has become an issue they are trying to crack down on.
However, they have to respect people who have a legitimate reason for not wearing a mask. The iteration above appeared to be the most widely circulated, and atop an icon of a masked individual with a circle and a slash over it, it read:. Wearing a facemask poses a health risk to me. Thank you for your understanding and assistance. The version embedded above was shared by a former congressional candidate from Illinois named James Marter on May 2 , and the image itself was automatically scanned by meme aggregator iFunny.
The Privacy Rule strikes a balance that permits important uses of information while protecting the privacy of people who seek care and healing. The second of the two rules — the Privacy Rule — involved individuals i. Of the four covered entities, three were clearly irrelevant on their face: Providers, plans, and billers or data handlers. None of those entities were of the sort to whom such a document might be presented.
None of the covered entities were targeted by the HIPAA mask exemption sheet — that would presumably be retail store owners, restaurants, and other public places or spaces whose purpose and function had no relation to health.
Although covered entities were not restaurants, stores, malls, bowling alleys, hair salons, or other public places possibly following health and safety directives regarding masks during the COVID pandemic, the portion following was still relevant to the claims. It explained in part:. Five of the twelve listed conditions for HIPAA exemptions involved laws, rules, or public health in general. Q: Our healthcare facility is requiring employees to get the flu shot or they will have to wear a mask when within 6 feet of patients.
Is this not a violation of employee or patient privacy? The Privacy Rule only protects the privacy of patient, not employees. Effective March 15, , for example, Secretary of the U. According to ADA. To be protected by the ADA, one must have a disability, which is defined by the ADA as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.
The ADA does not specifically name all of the impairments that are covered. Under any claimed or covered exemption to COVID face mask orders under the ADA, an individual must have a legally recognized disability as defined by its provisions. Additional, expanded detail on legally mandated requirements for the ADA had largely to do with accessibility in matters such as architecture and mobility — not skirting public health law. Public accommodations must comply with basic nondiscrimination requirements that prohibit exclusion, segregation, and unequal treatment.
They also must comply with specific requirements related to architectural standards for new and altered buildings; reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures; effective communication with people with hearing, vision, or speech disabilities; and other access requirements.
We were unable to locate any example of a disability preventing the use of face masks in public or private spaces. However, business site JDSupra. However, that guidance explained that was not actually the case and described how such a claim might progress:. Requiring a face mask or covering is a workplace rule that can be enforced by the employer, but the requirement may need to be accommodated, just like other workplace rules, for a disabled employee.
In this case, the employees should be sent home and you should begin the ADA interactive process to find out what prevents them from wearing face coverings and whether there are any accommodations that would enable them to do so.
If someone provides a legitimate medical reason for not wearing a face covering and you determine that there are no accommodations that would enable to employee to do so, the employee should be placed on an unpaid leave of absence until face coverings are no longer required. The same analysis should be performed for other types of temporarily required equipment or clothing, such as latex gloves.
If an employee refuses to wear a mask that has been required by state or local order or is otherwise strongly advised by OSHA or the CDC, then the employer should first attempt to explain the requirement to the employee and convince the employee of the need to wear the mask, [attorney Todd] Logsdon said. If an employee continues to refuse the legal or safety requirement, the employer may be able to suspend the employee.
If so, the employer should engage in the normal interactive dialogue under the Americans with Disabilities Act, verify that the employee cannot wear a mask and state what possible accommodation would allow the employee to work.
In short, it appeared employers were well within their rights to require employees wear masks — and, further, to suspend those who refused to comply. Even workers with a disability purportedly precluding the use of face masks were not legally guaranteed an exception and seemed unlikely to receive one. We located no centralized source for precisely which jurisdictions required masks, and the recommendations varied quite a lot — which is undoubtedly how so much disinformation is able to thrive about this very topic.
Similar orders or mandates existed in cities, counties, and various jurisdictions. Notably, the orders were not identical — some addressed only employees, others customers, and some affected users of public transit.
Details in the above-linked news outlets demonstrated a relatively consistent patterns of the scope of COVID mask orders, mandates, or other public health directives:. Employers were within their rights to require masks, and many states issued an array of orders requiring the use of masks in stores, restaurants, and other essential businesses.
The ADA applied only to a legally recognized disability, and employers were not required to allow employees with a legitimate disability precluding or preventing the use of a face mask to continue working for the duration of the pandemic.
Moreover, under those conditions, the employee could be placed on unpaid leave. It seemed the balance of the claims pertained to members of the public demanding entry to public places but refusing to comply with jurisdictional orders they wear masks during the COVID pandemic. In short, the meme was largely aimed at putative patrons or customers of a business and their demand they be admitted or served while refusing to comply with public health orders.
A business can legally ban a customer not only based on its discretion, but also for health, safety, or other similar reasons, such as the customer being unruly, disrupting the business or its operations, causing injury, stress, or upset to employees, contractors, or other customers.
