Mike Stone-- Am I Being Paranoid?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

“Everyone I talk to, everyone I meet -

none of them seem to realize the seriousness

of the situation we are facing. They’re oblivious

to what’s occurring right before their eyes

and if you mention it to them, they become angry.

I feel like I’m living in the Twilight Zone.”

by Mike Stone

Not long ago, I was talking to a guy in his late 20s. The topic of coronavirus vaccines came up and he mentioned that he had no qualms about taking a vaccine. “I’ll be first in line for it,” he said.

I asked him, “Aren’t you worried about the chip?” He didn’t know what I meant so I told him the covid-hoax vaccines will contain a microchip.

“Whoa,” he said. “Getting a little conspiracy-minded there, aren’t you, Mike?”

Earlier today, I was talking to a girl in her early 20s. I mentioned to her that I might have to move soon. She asked why and I told her that Virginia and Massachusetts have both declared that they will make vaccines mandatory in the fall. “California is likely to do the same,” I said.

“So we need to make plans.” She looked at me funny and said, “You can’t live your life being paranoid.”

Walking home I passed a popular chain coffee shop. A sign in the window said: BLACK LIVES MATTER, R.I.P. GEORGE FLOYD.

The shop’s customers didn’t care, they were streaming in and out with their daily fix of caffeine.

Later, a city bus passed me. On the side of the bus, it said: WE STAND IN BELIEF WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER.

The day before, I read a news article detailing how Black Lives Matter is now working with the teacher’s union in my city on the school curriculum. My city was hit hard by riots, looting, and businesses being burnt to the ground, yet many businesses and the city itself stand with the rioters. I feel like I’m the only person here who does not support Black Lives Matter.

Am I being paranoid?

I return home to a pair of angry emails. The first is from an acquaintance with a business proposition. The industry he is interested in is one that will be completely shut down if the country experiences another lockdown.

A second lockdown is something Joe Biden has said he will do if he is elected and it might also happen if Trump wins. In a previous email, I advised my acquaintance to proceed with caution for those reasons. He responds by berating me in forceful language. He thinks everything is back to normal.

The second email is from a lifelong friend. He is a union member and has voted Democrat his entire life. I send him info on things like 9/11, Sandy Hook, etc. He doesn’t believe any of it. In fact, I suspect he trashes my emails without even reading them.

The other day I sent him an email about Joe Biden insulting a union man and lying about statements he made in the past about revoking the Second Amendment. My friend responds in angry, sarcastic language. He’s voting for Biden because he’s a union man and his father was a union man and to heck with the rest of the country and everybody in it. As long as he gets his union pay and his union pension, the rest of the country can take a leap.

A white girl in her late 20s and I talk frequently. I think she likes me, but I’m not 100% certain. I tell her I can no longer shop at the farmer’s market where she works because they sent me an email saying they support and donate money to Black Lives Matter.

“What’s wrong with that?” she shrieks. That was three weeks ago. I haven’t heard from her since.

Am I being paranoid?

Foot traffic in my neighborhood has returned to normal. People are all over the streets, almost all of them wearing a mask. Nobody seems afraid.

If I thought the COVID-hoax was what they think it is – a deadly virus – I wouldn’t leave the house. I’d be hunkered down behind a fortress of toilet paper. They claim it is a deadly virus, but they’re out walking around just like before. They think and act as if everything is back to normal, except for their masks, gloves, and face shields. Not a fear in the world. I suspect their real fear is being different from the herd.

I have a couple of friends working on an independent movie project. “Are you sure you want to do that?” I ask them. “The movie industry is crippled right now; the industry has been taken over by leftist scum, and the country is falling apart before our eyes.”

They laugh and tell me I’m crazy.

I have family members vacationing in Florida. They’re posing for pictures, laughing giddily for the camera, oblivious to anything going on in the world, and acting as if they haven’t a care in the world. They send a video of a 2-year-old girl, their own granddaughter, crying because she is forced to wear a face mask. In the video, the little girl tries to pull her face mask off, while the adults all laugh in the background. To them, it’s funny. To me, it’s child abuse.

Everyone I talk to, everyone I meet – none of them seem to realize the seriousness of the situation we are facing. They’re oblivious to what’s occurring right before their eyes and if you mention it to them, they become angry. I feel like I’m living in the Twilight Zone. But then the thought occurs to me … maybe they’re right and I’m wrong. Maybe they’re the ones acting rationally and not me. Maybe they’re the sensible ones and I’m the sheeple.

Am I being paranoid?

Now you see why the other side is winning. A majority of people are fooled and dat’s a bad thing. Because they will hunt you down and RAT you out.

Ever seen the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers? We need our Kevin McCarthy moment. Our Roddy Piper (They Live) glasses.

One guy I know and actually believes the same as me I asked him if he would take a vaccine and was totally SHOCKED when he said, yeah, I would.

And get this, he said he would only take it if it came from China. His belief was dat the Chinese would never harm their own people but likely give the Americans a phony and harmfool vaccine.

I was stunned at his ignorance. TRUST NO ONE but yourself. Be armed to the TEETH and try to take out at least two or more of them when the SHTF. If we all did this their losses will be twice as great as ours. Yes, you may have to die.

But two for one is a good sale to me.
