“The American public is being spoon-fed a steady diet of pseudo-science in order to justify the wearing of face masks, social distancing and contact tracing. Yet, the actual science points in the polar opposite direction.”
This is the concluding paragraph in an article at Technocracy News.
“This is a clear sign of Technocrats-at-work. Instead, these are the ones who should be exposed, shamed and ridiculed. ”
“In sum, these dangerous and destructive policies are designed to curtail economic activity, break down social cohesion and control people. Moreover, they fit the original mission statement of Technocracy as far back as 1938:
Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population…”
Based on what we have coming from the state’s public health officials, it is apparent they are indeed Technocrats.
According to immunologists and epidemiologists California Globe has interviewed, ordering people indoors, schools closed, mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing is the opposite of what should be done for the health and well-being of society. Herd immunity is supposed to be the real health goal, while protecting those most vulnerable – in the case of coronavirus, is the elderly and infirmed confined to nursing homes.
Technocracy News explains: “Pseudo-science quickly emerged as the principal domain of Technocrats, but they soon found that scientific debate with those promoting real science was most inconvenient to their social engineering goals. The solution was simple: claim that their own pseudo-science was indeed the real science, and then refuse debate by excluding all other voices to the contrary.”
Doesn’t this sound exactly like the drivel we are being fed today?
Even as hospitalizations and deaths have dropped, California Gov. Gavin Newsom had his Public Health Director issue a new mandate that all residents must wear face masks, at indoor functions, and outdoors in crowds… unless you are an Antifa rioter or homeless living on city streets.
The Governor issued an Executive Order and had his Public Health Department issue a new directive Thursday, which said this:
Over the last four months, we have learned a lot about COVID-19 transmission, most notably that people who are infected but are asymptomatic or presymptomatic play an important part in community spread. The use of face coverings by everyone can limit the release of infected droplets when talking, coughing, and/or sneezing, as well as reinforce physical distancing.
What once was a directive to flatten the curve has morphed in to “people who are infected but are asymptomatic or presymptomatic play an important part in community spread.”
California Globe reported Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, Professor of Medicine and Public Health at University of California, Los Angeles said:
“I don’t think there’s any evidence that wearing a surgical mask has any benefit to protect someone in general from exposure, or from being infected. We usually recommend people who are ill wear surgical masks to prevent transmission [to others]… it may be kind of an awareness tool, but in terms of its direct benefits, there’s no data,” Dr. Klausner added.
Dr. Brosseau and and Dr. Sietsema, both national experts on respiratory protection and infectious diseases at University of Illinois at Chicago, said, “We do not recommend requiring the general public who do not have symptoms of COVID-19-like illness to routinely wear cloth or surgical masks because, There is no scientific evidence they are effective in reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.”
The law-abiding taxpaying citizens are being “exposed, shamed and ridiculed,” and treated as if they are the lawbreakers, by the government which is supposed to work for the public and for the common good.
Lastly, attorneys Mark Meuser and Harmeet Dhillon have 15 lawsuits against Gov. Gav Newsom for abusing his state of Emergency powers. For this latest abuse and overreach, Meuser recommends that everyone download the #RecallGavin2020 petition, and get 10 neighbors to sign it. Meuser says if several hundred thousand signatures are turned in in only a few days, the Legislature, which has the power to limit Newsom’s powers, will be very afraid. It only takes 1.4 million signatures to recall the governor.

The Miserable Pseudo-Science Behind Face Masks, Social Distancing And Contact Tracing
Once upon a time, there was something called science. It included the discovery of truth about nature, the elements, the universe, etc. It was practiced by honest and accountable practitioners called scientists and engineers. They often invented cool new things as a result of their studies, but generally they had no primal urge to use their knowledge to dominate other people, groups or even entire societies.
Then certain other scientists and engineers rose up and made a discovery of their own. If true science was ever-so-slightly skewed and engineering disciplines were applied to society at large, then they could indeed use their “knowledge” to dominate and control other people, groups, entire societies or even, heaven forbid, the entire planet.
The first group pursued science. The second group pursued pseudo-science.
Merriam-Webster defines pseudo-science as “a system of theories, assumptions, and methods erroneously regarded as scientific.” The Oxford dictionary clarifies by stating, “a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.“
Pseudo-science quickly emerged as the principal domain of Technocrats, but they soon found that scientific debate with those promoting real science was most inconvenient to their social engineering goals. The solution was simple: claim that their own pseudo-science was indeed the real science, and then refuse debate by excluding all other voices to the contrary.
In the context of pseudo-science, this report will examine the three primary tools of fighting COVID-19: face masks, social distancing and contact tracing.
Face masks
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website plainly states that cloth face masks “Will not protect the wearer against airborne transmissible infectious agents due to loose fit and lack of seal or inadequate filtration.”
But, what about surgical masks? OHSA is clear here also that they “will not protect the wearer against airborne transmissible infectious agents due to loose fit and lack of seal or inadequate filtration.”
But then right under these statements, OSHA furiously backpedaled by adding an FAQ section on COVID-19 directly underneath and stated,
OSHA generally recommends that employers encourage workers to wear face coverings at work. Face coverings are intended to prevent wearers who have Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) without knowing it (i.e., those who are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic) from spreading potentially infectious respiratory droplets to others. This is known as source control.
Consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation for all people to wear cloth face coverings when in public and around other people, wearing cloth face coverings, if appropriate for the work environment and job tasks, conserves other types of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as surgical masks, for healthcare settings where such equipment is needed most.
So, wearing a face mask cannot protect you from getting COVID, but it is supposedly able to keep someone else from getting it from you? OSHA is speaking out of both sides of its mouth. What it calls “source control” likely puts the real motive out in the open: since you are the source, it’s about controlling YOU. There is no true scientific rationale for anyone but the sick and medical workers to wear masks.
The truly healthy have no business wearing a mask, period.
But, what about asymptomatic carriers?
On June 8, 2020, Maria Van Herkhove, PhD., head of the World Health Organization’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit released a compilation of a number of contact tracing programs from various nations and plainly stated “From the data we have, it still seems to be very rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual.”
This writer hates to think what happened to Dr. Herkhove overnight at the hands of her WHO handlers, because the next day she also furiously backpedaled and stated “I used the phrase ‘very rare,’ and I think that that’s misunderstanding to state that asymptomatic transmission globally is very rare. I was referring to a small subset of studies.”
It is clear that Dr. Herkhove’s first statement that naively repeated the clear facts of the matter did not follow the WHO’s justification for non-infectious people to wear masks. In fact, the entire mask wearing narrative hangs on the single pseudo-scientific idea that asymptomatic people can spread the virus.
In a recent Technocracy News article authored by highly-respected neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD titled Face Masks Pose Serious Risks To The Healthy, he concluded, “there is insufficient evidence that wearing a mask of any kind can have a significant impact in preventing the spread of this virus.” (Blaylock represents real science.)
Nevertheless, in the face of clear evidence of the worthlessness of face masks for preventing disease,
- States and municipalities are mandating that face masks be worn by all citizens when outside their home
- Large and small companies are forcing their employees to wear masks
- People at large are scared to death to not wear a face mask for fear of getting sick or being mask-shamed by others if they take it off.
A Matter of Oxygen
Face masks lower the percentage of oxygen available for inhaling.
Normal fresh air contains 20.95% oxygen. OSHA defines an oxygen deficient atmosphere as an “atmosphere with an oxygen content below 19.5% by volume.” The reason we breath air is only for our lungs to harvest the oxygen it contains so that we don’t suffocate and die.
OSHA documents the effects of the first level of oxygen deficiency from 16% to 19.5%:
At concentrations of 16 to 19.5 percent, workers engaged in any form of exertion can rapidly become symptomatic as their tissues fail to obtain the oxygen necessary to function properly (Rom, W., Environmental and Occupational Medicine, 2nd ed.; Little, Brown; Boston, 1992). Increased breathing rates, accelerated heartbeat, and impaired thinking or coordination occur more quickly in an oxygen-deficient environment. Even a momentary loss of coordination may be devastating to a worker if it occurs while the worker is performing a potentially dangerous activity, such as climbing a ladder.
This writer has already encountered several store employees, forced to wear a face mask during work hours, who exhibit one or more of these exact symptoms. When asked if they relate their symptoms to wearing the mask, every single one has emphatically said “Yes!”.
Every employer and government entity that mandates the wearing of face masks are required to do two things: first, they must provide atmospheric testing to each person to measure average oxygen levels inside the mask when it is being worn and second, if oxygen is below 19.5%, they must be provided with an oxygen enriched breathing system.
To this writer’s knowledge, there has been zero testing of oxygen levels anywhere in the country even though it is plainly clear that many people are experiencing symptoms of oxygen deficiency.
Many state-level politicians are now mandating the wearing of face masks for all citizens in public places. That they have fallen prey to pseudo-science is now putting entire populations at risk for physical harm that has nothing to do with the COVID-19 virus.
Social Distancing
Adding to the fear of contagion, people across the nation are driven to practice social distancing, or staying 6 feet apart at all times. This is practiced to excess in almost every commercial establishment with markers taped or painted on the floor and shopping isles converted into one-way travel only.
Yet, two real scientists at the University of Oxford in Britain, Professors Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson, wrote in The Telegraph (UK) recently that “the two-metre rule has no basis in science.” Their article was titled There is no scientific evidence to support the disastrous two-metre rule.
According to these scientists,
The influential Lancet review provided evidence from 172 studies in support of physical distancing of one metre or more. This might sound impressive, but all the studies were retrospective and suffer from biases that undermine the reliability of their findings. Recall bias arises in research when participants do not remember previous events accurately, and it is problematic when studies look back in time at how people behaved, including how closely they stood from others.
More concerning was that only five of the 172 studies reported specifically on Covid exposure and proximity with infection. These studies included a total of merely 477 patients, with just 26 actual cases of infection. In only one study was a specific distance measure reported: “came within six feet of the index patient”. The result showed no effect of distance on contracting Covid.
Heneghan and Jefferson further noted,
On further independent inspection of 15 studies included in the review, we found multiple inconsistencies in the data, numerical mistakes and unsound methods in 13 of them. When assumptions over distance were made, we could not replicate any of them.
This is the hallmark of modern pseudo-science: inconsistencies in the data, numerical mistakes, unsound methods and inability to replicate results.
What is the real purpose of social distancing? It certainly is not to curtail contagion. The only other possibility is to curtail economic activity and prevent social cohesion. Humans are social beings, after all, and lack of close proximity leads to depression, anxiety and even serious health consequences.
Contact Tracing
Contact tracing is an established practice in modern medicine. It is useful for the early stages of serious infectious diseases like Ebola, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia.
Every credible expert on contact tracing says that it is effective only up to the point of mass distribution. In other words, during the early stages of a contagion or a slow moving or very serious disease.
In the case of COVID-19, the horse has already left the barn. Except to harass people, there is nothing useful that contact tracing can accomplish.
Yet, almost every state in America is implementing a wide-ranging contact tracing program that may ultimately employ some 300,000 tracers.
The Center for Disease Control website states that “Contact tracing will be conducted for close contacts (any individual within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes) of laboratory-confirmed or probable COVID-19 patients.”
Furthermore, CDC complete definition of “close contact” is,
Someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.
If you are “exposed” to such a person, your personal information will be collected and you will be contacted by the “tracer” to be instructed to quarantine for up to two weeks. The infected person could have been mistaken about having contact with you. They could be someone who just wants to get you in trouble. If you live in Washington state, where all restaurants are now required to record the contact information of every patron, you might not have a clue who was infected, but you will be quarantined anyway.
Now, the CDC’s declaration of “6 feet” above takes us back to social distancing, where we just learned above that there is “no effect of distance on contracting COVID” in the first place.
Thus, find that contact tracing misses the mark on two main points: first, the virus is too widespread throughout the population to make tracing effective and second, the criteria of six feet for defining a “contact” is bogus.
So, why are governors, mayors and health departments ramping up for a nationwide exercise in obtrusive contact tracing? Again, pursuing a path of pseudo-science, the intended outcome is control over people.
Conclusion
The American public is being spoon-fed a steady diet of pseudo-science in order to justify the wearing of face masks, social distancing and contact tracing. Yet, the actual science points in the polar opposite direction.
Furthermore, those who try to present the real science are shamed, ridiculed and bullied for having such narrow-minded views.
This is a clear sign of Technocrats-at-work. Instead, these are the ones who should be exposed, shamed and ridiculed.
In sum, these dangerous and destructive policies are designed to curtail economic activity, break down social cohesion and control people. Moreover, they fit the original mission statement of Technocracy as far back as 1938:
Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population…
It is highly doubtful that most state and local leaders understand the lack of real and verified science behind their actions and mandates. Nevertheless, they are implementing policies that are destructive to our economic system, harmful to our personal health and ruinous to personal liberty.
This writer suggests that you print multiple copies of this report and deliver it to every political leader, every commercial establishment, all family and friends, etc.

@Katy Grimes, thank you for this article. You effectively summarized science based facts and references. Technocrats are using the COVID-19 "crisis only to implement social changes, discord and discourage economic recovery. As this is an election year, under the COVID-19 cover, the Technocrats are intentionally causing as much social and economic damage as possible. After November, if a democrat takes office, the technocrats will announce victory over the pandemic and it will immediately fade from the media.
Katy,
Thank you for sharing Patrick Wood’s informative article. It is nice to have a resource that has condensed the information that many of us have discovered through many medical sources and have shared in our comments.
The basis of his article can also be applied to the pseudo science of climate change that lead the lawmakers to implement costly taxes such as the California Recycling tax, the bag fees and so on.
Apparently a lot of government officials and other "experts" have been wearing their masks too long and are suffering from low oxygen levels. Is it this or are they either stupid or have an agenda that is not supported by science?
CW: Probably they've been smoking too much pot as well. :)
Excellent stuff! Great information to counter all of this nonsense we have been enduring without end.
Also very glad to see some activism thrown in, which is the best way to get a sense of what is really happening out there. I agree that the dictators WILL want to go into the fetal position with a strong blast of signatures.
If California Globe keeps it up with writing like this, I may have to start DONATING!!! Two-thumbs-up!!!
My cousin back East in a semi rural small county.....few layoffs, none of this urban fabricated tension.....however, the media and Communist riots are taking a toll causing opinion silence big time for job/career preservation and fear of personal asset vandalism.
We both never dreamed 1950 East Germany would happen again.....
Jesus christ, quit whinging about masks, you anti-science moron. You have no idea what you're talking about, you don't understand the purpose of cloth masks, and you misrepresent the studies you're claiming to cite. You're the reason this country is going to be going through months of pandemic hell.
Um, the entire article discusses the science. Maybe if you read it instead of getting angry that other people aren't as willing to be somebody's schmuck as you are, you might have realized that.
You are an idiot and a sheep.
Did you know 90% of the fat you burn is exhaled through your lungs? You want to keep all that nastiness on your face and in your mask, allowing bacteria and mold (which you cannot see) to have a perfect environment to grow? Read any study about headphones and bacterial growth, apply those principles to prolonged mask use. Also, ask any Dentist!: Prolonged mask use over long periods of time will lead to reseeding gums! Anyone suffering from any kind of rape PTSD will also tell your wearing a mask is terrible for their mental health. I could go on and on and on...
The mask lie is just part of the political fear mongering used to justify mail in voting. Nothing more nothing less. If you demand others wear a mask you are a moron and a control freak.
Great article. I watch Peggy on the Healthy American channel (You Tube) she reported much of the same. She has done excellent work and she's one of the people that helped get them to rescind the mask order in Orange County. Of course 2 days later we have Newsom over stepping his power and she has plenty to say about that. I would highly recommend checking her out. I will also send this article to her. Thank You.
@ Valiere
You should take your own advice since the accusations you’re flinging at others you crazies on the left are all guilty of. I realize your heart’s broken due to the lack of dead bodies the flu HOAX was supposed to create, but unfortunately for you good things have to happen sometimes. All you’re doing is pushing voodoo science, fabricated data as well as ‘ The big lie ‘ as hitler did during WWII to create an environment enabling people to be bullied into submission that aren’t going along with the evil democrat plans. Get a grip on reality you damn mask-NAZI. The problem with America and most of the world right now are you liberals. We’re not going through a pandemic hell, but rather a liberal one.
Just so you know, here is what hitler’s Germany did. If I didn’t know it I’d think was someone who work for the DNC today :
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Joseph Goebbels - Minister of Propaganda of NAZI Germany 1933 to 1945
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/joseph-goebbels-on-the-quot-big-lie-quot
Raining on your parade here, but Goebbels never said any such thing. Not even close:
https://www.bytwerk.com/gpa/falsenaziquotations.htm
https://truthisthegreatestenemyofthestate.blogspot.com/
https://www.ihr.org/other/weber2011fakequotations.html
What he really said:
“Good propaganda does not need to lie; indeed it may not lie. It has no reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people in a way that they will be able to understand. A propaganda that lies proves that it has a bad cause. It cannot be successful in the long run.”
Don't feel bad. It's been quoted as the truth so often that everybody thinks it's true. And they're oftentimes surprised - I was - when they find out that they've been lied to. And at that point some cling to those false quotations even more, cognitive dissonance in action, unwilling to believe that perhaps those historical actors weren't the one-dimensional cardboard cutout boggy men of the approved narrative.
Kind of like the people who cling to this whole mask and distancing business ever more tightly even when confronted with a truthful narrative telling them that the whole thing is useless pandemic porn.
Hope this helps!
Just a thought.

Thanx for your gentle response to
Voltaire.
I could not hav been so nice.
I deliver packages for Amazon and they require a face covering as part of the uniform. If we are caught without one, we will get fired. It's in the 90s with over 90% humidity where I live. The use of a mask is NOT a good idea but what can I do? Well, for starters, I wear it below my nose so I can breathe in through my nose (then exhale with my mouth). Even then I can barely breathe, especially climbing stairs in apartments. I basically just have my mask hanging from one ear and cover my mouth when approaching a door, customer, or entering a business.
Then I remove it when I'm done. I worry I could still be fired for it but with the nature of the job I cannot wear it all the time.
Knowing that it is a useless gesture for me to wear the damn thing makes it all the more aggravating. All because of the pseudo science BS being perpetrated.
To POEDdeliverydriver, consider getting some cheesecloth at HD or Lowes, cutting off a piece, cutting 2 holes to go around ears. It should be as lightweight and unrestrictive as possible while still satisfying the draconian edict (assuming you're allowed to wear any type of 'face covering').
Great idea. And you don't even have to navigate a large Home Depot or Lowe's to find it. Cheesecloth can be found in any full-service grocery store. Look in the aisle where they carry cooking implements and turkey basters.
