Hi JP fair play to you on opting out of the combine snare , ye I have also in some ways , like no credit union account , because it's controlled by the central bank, no health insurance, no club memberships, no going to the pub or gatherings where their is nonsense talk, trying to grow and preserve my own food, trying to use natural remedies for medicine, no TV or radio or newspapers. But I pay taxes but as little as possible, never wore a mask or took the poisons on offer, and for fun drove anywhere I wanted through the checkpoints , shopped in Tescos every week and ignored any rules, and told anyone who questioned me to fuck off , I am not as cultured as others and just kept it crude and blunt. Anyway this is how I rejected the combine so far.

Thanks for that Richard. I was refused entry to a club I founded because I was not a 'permitted person' and wouldn't wear a mask. Needless to say I haven't been back even though those restrictions are probably gone now.

If you'd like to share a specific instance or story let me know. I will be talking to people about things I haven't done myself so I am hoping Traitor to the Combine will be a collaborative effort.

Good for you. Makes me wonder what would have happened if more had acted like you. The restrictions would have been removed earlier, I suspect.

I met a manager of a café who was torn because she just had a visit from a health official who was threatening her with closure for not sticking to the rules. We need to find a way around a problem if we can’t find our way through it. I had a vax control card which said I was part of the control group. She asked me. I showed it. She was happy she ticket her box and she let me in. Then she sent me free cookies and came over and talked with me for a half hour about how upset she was over the whole thing. And how she was afraid she would be forced to close her business. And how she took 2 shots and felt that it was all wrong and maybe she should join the control group too.

Great story thanks Abby.

Makes me wonder if we need a dedicated forum or space to share anecdotes and experiences from that dreadful time?

Many of us still need to heal from it, and sharing our stories is part of that. So I would say yes.

The world you are describing sounds like something from a science fiction novel. What country do you live in? China?!
