Law Prohibiting Local School Mask Mandates Heads to NH Governor’s Desk (Again!)

Wed, 2024-05-22 20:00 +0000

The New Hampshire State Senate just passed (and I mean Just!) HB1093 AN ACT  prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools. “This bill prohibits school boards and other public education agencies from adopting, enforcing, or implementing a policy that requires students or members of the public to wear a facial covering.”

189:75  Facial Covering Policy for Schools.  The school board of a school district or the chief executive officer of a chartered public school or public academy shall not adopt, enforce, or implement a policy that requires students or members of the public to wear a facial covering for any purpose while on the school’s property unless the facial covering is necessary for a specific extracurricular or instructional purpose, or is required by some other section of the law. In this section, “facial covering” means any item worn on the face which covers a student’s mouth, nose, or both.

It’s a short and sweet statement that you shall not mandate face coverings in schools—full stop. This means they are optional—there is no law preventing individuals from adopting them or anyone discussing any harm or benefit. It does, however—because you know how “They” get—include some clarifications.

This provision shall not prohibit any public school board or governing person or body of a school from requiring participating students to wear athletic gear intended to protect against concussive or similar sports-related physical damage, or to wear protective equipment while handling chemicals, fire, or other similar hazardous elements for scientific or similar educational purposes.  Further, this provision shall not prohibit policies that may require facial coverings as part of a student’s individualized education program pursuant to RSA 186-C or accommodation plan pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 701 et seq).  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.

No one is banning helmets in football, and so on. It is sad that you have to make that clarification, but that’s not the problem; Sununu is.

Governor Sununu has been known to ignore his Executive Order Spree on the subject of COVID-inspired statewide overreach and selectively play the local control card. (He vetoed HB1131 the 2022 bill preventing school mask mandates). You know, let the locals decide, except when he doesn’t think that’s a good idea. But both chambers, through investigation and debate, have again discovered that mask mandates are not what many claim and may indeed cause harm. Industrial hygienist Stephen Petty came back to New Hampshire again to try and help pass this bill (he was also here for round one in 2022).

He might need to visit the governor personally over a long lunch because this isn’t our first rodeo with protecting kids and education staff from these mandates.

Has Sununu seen more now that he feels comfortable saying yes this time? It’s his last term, and he doesn’t have to run on it, so it could go either way. He could also allow it to become law without his signature.

We’d be good with any of that but we’re not holding our breath.

Please politely encourage the governor to sign HB1093.

“Why Do You Do This Stuff?” – With Ken Eyring and Tom Murray Part 1/3

Wed, 2024-05-22 18:00 +0000

Ken and Tom founded the Government Integrity Project a number of years ago. Their mission, along with their supporters, is to find out where Government is not playing with a straight deck. We’ve all known about the “Good ole’ boys” networks that can run small towns, the larger cities with their Tammany Hall political machines, and individuals (often drawing government-signed paychecks) not always believing that they are merely public servants but become enamored with the Power that Government can wield.

A few weeks ago, I was asked by Tom and Ken if I’d participate in an interview with another person for a documentary on Government Corruption that will be coming out somewhere down the road. Hey, while Ken often sends in submissions as a Grokster, both read GraniteGrok as regular readers so they know about the goings on here in NH. So of COURSE, I said yes and spent a few hours with them and their crew.

And when we had run out of time (the Library wanted their room back but certainly we didn’t run out of things to talk about!), I turned the tables on them – I brought my camera out and had them sit together. I’ve split the 20 minute interview into 3 parts.

This is Part 1:

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

Watch As Middle America Become The Middle East

Wed, 2024-05-22 14:00 +0000

Joe Biden and the Democrats have been re-engineering our country. I am probably giving Biden too much credit. He is not a designer of the plan but a hapless tool to carry out the plan. This plan started in 2008 when Obama was elected and openly proclaimed his purpose to transform America.

This plan has many fronts, from the accelerated indoctrination of our children from K-16 to the irrational DEIJ movement that rewards boxes checked versus competency and finally to the manipulation of the electoral map by the placement of illegal migrants.

One of Biden’s first acts upon his election was to open our southern border and allow over ten million unvetted migrants from over 150 countries to enter our country. If these individuals were brought to one location in the United States, these people would form the 10th most populated state in our country. The people crossing the Rio Grande by foot were step one, and step two was flying illegals directly to predetermined destinations. The goal is to change the demographics of the Red States. The faster the Democrats can get these migrants to the polls. The better for the Democrats.

In what may be the final stage is the Democrat plan to bring millions of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the Middle American states. These states have some of the lowest population numbers and are typically Conservative and Red-leaning. By inserting millions of people the Democrats feel will vote for the Left, they can quickly transform these Red fly-over states into Blue-voting machines.

There are many aspects to consider when importing refugees from Gaza.
First, there will be no way of vetting these people, and we know that not all Palestinians are terrorists, but all Hamas terrorists are Palestinians. We will have no way of discerning how many of the people we bring into Middle America will be terrorists hell-bent on taking down America or in sleeper cells ready to be awakened and activated. Secondly, we just went through weeks of unrest on college campuses with radical activists funding and coaching impressionable college students to protest for Palestine and Hamas and against Israel. These refugees will add fuel to that movement.

This engineering of future elections is the transformation that Barack Obama envisioned. By manipulating the population in selective states, the Left can guarantee there will never be a Republican elected President. Ironically, the Democrats yell about election suppression or interference. Yet, they have spent decades manipulating the election process in their favor. One hundred years, they are indoctrinating our young students, turning them off on America and capitalism and convincing them that Socialism is a superior system to live in.

Joe Biden should not be impeached. Joe Biden should be charged and tried for Treason against the United States. He has stomped on the Constitution, insulted and ignored the Supreme Court, and has been complicit with the Senate stalling any bills passed out of the House. His efforts to transform America have damaged American lives, smashed the dreams of our future, and made states and cities less safe for Americans to live comfortably. Biden and this Democrat plan must be stopped, and making sure that Biden does not get four more years in the Oval Office.

Depopulationist Says ‘Quiet Part’ Outloud – Doesn’t Regret It

Wed, 2024-05-22 12:00 +0000

When a partisan faction committed to depopulation by other means openly admits that we’d be better off with fewer of us around, they mean it. Culling the wrong people out of the population has been a goal for over a century, and these social engineers openly support policies that prove it.

Abortion isn’t health care. It is a feature of a longstanding depopulation agenda. Progressives have long sought to reduce populations of people who are not like them.

Assisted suicide sounds like well-meaning empathy until you let them control it. It quickly becomes a subject of much debate as a means to relive the state of the homeless, mentally ill, and others whom they’ve long wanted to cull but lacked a way to do it without looking like who they really are.

The Climate movement has long been very clear on the need to reduce populations to save the planet but they never volunteer to go first. Who would make sure the right people remained if they lived by their own creed?

Professor Bill McGuire shared an observation the other day along these lines. A very casual, you know, if we’re serious about reducing emissions, people gonna have to die.

“If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate

To summarize.

  1. He’s convinced that a trace gas incapable of warming the planet as advertised will be the end of the world.
  2. We must reduce the emissions of that gas to prevent a global catastrophe.
  3. Culling (killing) human beings is the only honest way to prevent planetary doom.
  4. There is no other way to get there from here.

When called out on this, he did what you’d expect. He accused everyone of taking him out of context and twisting his words.

The only thing in this response that matters is that he doesn’t regret it, which I believe. I feel certain he thinks people need to die to satisfy his perception of the effect of emissions on climate. The rest is rubbish.

The only person who has taken his meaning the wrong way is Bill McGuire because this sort of thinking is part of his movement’s collective consciousness. It is no less a fact that 0.04% of the atmosphere has more influence on waring than the sun, solar mechanics, and water vapor.

It is also true that the political catalysts of the movement, the ones who keep the climate fear messaging funded, are ideologically descended from social engineers whose rhetoric has inspired past cullings of the human population. Leaders who share other commonalities like the need for a command and control economy managed by the Government and a police state to keep order when the humans they have not yet culled (but will be for dissenting) discover how badly they’ve been screwed.

Bill is a useful idiot.

Regardless of whether you agree with his science, he aids and abets despotism, whose logical conclusion is the systematic culling of the population when it does not fully align with the goals of the State or dares to challenge it.

Bill and his climate theory is a bigger threat to humanity (human rights, justice, liberty, and prosperity) than CO2.

Congrats to Comment of the Week Winner, Martina Vaslovik

Wed, 2024-05-22 11:00 +0000

I picked seven possible winners, and you voted. This week’s comment of the week goes to Martina Vaslovik.

Congratulations to Martina – please email steve@granitegrok.com.

Here’s the winning comment.

Post: Scientists” Testing One-Jab-To-Kill-Them-All ‘Vaccine’ to Fight Multiple “Coronaviruses”

Martina Vaslovik There has never been any efficacious vaccine for any form of coronavirus, ever. There has never been any cure for the common cold, which is caused by a coronavirus, specifically rhinovirus 39. What they are hawking is not even a vaccine, which is made from an attenuated virus, it’s gene therapy using mRNA, to do God knows what to us, and it’s killed millions so far. They cannot make a vaccine for the *alleged* covid virus because it does not exist. It has not been isolated by anyone anywhere in the world four years later and the CCP conveniently announced they had ordered the original specimens destroyed. It’s my belief that COVID19, or the idea of it, originated not in Wuhan, but in Davos with Klaus Schwab and his merry men, who when they came out with their Great Reset’s pie chart had COVID19 smack in the middle of it and lauded it as a narrow window of opportunity to change the world. Note also that Klaus Schwab’s buddy Yuval Noah Harari has put us all on notice telling us “Frankly we really don’t need the vast majority of you.” Should that not tell us something? Dr. Derek Knauss: “When my lab team and I subjected the 1500 supposedly positive Covid-19 samples to Koch’s postulates and put them under an SEM (electron microscope), we found NO Covid in all 1500 samples. We found that all 1500 samples were primarily Influenza A, and some Influenza B, but no cases of Covid. We did not use the bulls*** PCR test.’ At 7 universities not once COVID detected. ‘This virus is fictitious’ ‘I still need to find one viable sample with Covid-19 to work with. We who conducted the lab test with these 1500 samples at the 7 universities are now suing the CDC for Covid-19 fraud. The CDC still has not sent us a viable, isolated and purified sample of Covid-19. If they can’t or won’t, then I say there is no Covid-19. It’s fictional.’ ‘The four research papers describing the genome extracts of the Covid-19 virus never managed to isolate and purify the samples. All four papers describe only small pieces of RNA that are only 37 to 40 base pairs long. That is NOT a VIRUS. A viral genome normally has 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs.’ ‘Now that Covid-19 is supposedly so bad everywhere, how come not one lab in the world has completely isolated and purified this virus? That’s because they never really found the virus. All they ever discovered were small pieces of RNA that were not identified as the virus anyway. So what we’re dealing with is just another flu strain, just like every year. Covid-19 does not exist and is fictitious.’ Which brings us to this: Seasonal Flu Cases in the US 2012-2013 34,000,000 2013-2014 30,000,000 2014-2015 30,000,000 2015-2016 24,000,000 2016-2017 29,000,000 2017-2018 45,000,000 2018-2019 36,000,000 2019-2020 38,000,000 2020-2021 1,822 Draw your own conclusions…

For Democrats, Justice is a One-Way Street

Wed, 2024-05-22 10:00 +0000

Most people would agree that no free society can survive without a fair, unbiased justice system, one in which everyone is treated equally and no one is above the law. While so many governments around the world are rife with corruption and unequal justice, most Americans agree that, while imperfect, our judicial system has always been the best there is.

After all, we have all the safeguards in place to help ensure integrity in our government and fairness in our justice system. First, there’s our Constitution and our three co-equal branches of government. And we have a free press, intended to serve as the conscience of our government. Then there are the people, citizens who have always banded together to stand against government corruption.

Of course, all that came crashing down for several years while our nation was still young. Less than 100 years after its birth, America became a deeply divided nation, and those divisions erupted into a bloody war between the states.

After the Civil War, it took time for our country to get back on the right track, but Americans eventually did come together to create a world superpower, accomplishing some incredible things – militarily, socially, medically, and scientifically.

But it seems that the very same political party that fought so fiercely to preserve slavery is unhappy with America’s success. Democrats have vowed to fundamentally transform our country. Once again they’re on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of morality. They’re using any means at their disposal to transform our country, and it has again created deep divisions among us. Now, the Democrat Party has begun abusing its political power in a way that would make banana republics envious. It’s employing our justice system as a weapon against its political opponents.

Democrats have always had a tenuous relationship with the law enforcement community. They envision themselves as defenders of the oppressed, and they generally perceive police as oppressors. That was especially apparent during the widespread BLM riots in the summer of 2020. Nearly every Democrat supported the anarchy, calling the riots mostly peaceful protests. Our future vice president even helped bail out some of the protestors. At the same time, they were stereotyping all law enforcement officers as racist. So began their insane movement to defund the police.

But in 2021, that same party discovered how to make the justice system work for them.

On January 6th of that year, a group of protesters, enraged by several unresolved election irregularities, stormed the U.S. Capitol. Democrats saw an opportunity. They redefined the protest as an “insurrection” and brought the full weight of our justice system down on anyone who was there.

But they didn’t stop there. They wanted Donald Trump’s head.

Today we see profoundly biased Democrat prosecutors and judges pretending that they’re above political influence. And hateful, like-minded Democrats close their eyes to their abuses of power, telling themselves that everything is on the up-and-up and that the justice system is working exactly as it should.

But they know exactly what’s really going on. To paraphrase Joe Biden himself, they may be fanatical Democrats, but they’re not stupid.

They know that Democrat lawmakers were in such haste to impeach President Trump, not once, but an unprecedented two times, that they did it without any investigation. Both impeachments lacked merit and failed.

They know that the endless Democrat-controlled hearings on the January 6th incident served no purpose other than to hurt Trump.

They know that the four indictments and 91 individual charges filed against a former president are also unprecedented. They know that the Democrat prosecutors don’t even try to conceal their contempt for him.

They also know that those charges against Trump represent brazen examples of both selective prosecution and election interference.

For when Democrats sanctimoniously parrot the phrase, “No one is above the law,” they’re forgetting the bizarre explanations they invented to defend Democrat politicians who stepped outside the law.

First, there’s this gem: “No reasonable prosecutor would take this case.” Then there were these assurances about Biden’s theft of classified documents: “They were safely locked in his garage with his prized Corvette.” On the bribery allegations? “It’s not influence peddling if the bribes only go to his family members.” And there was the congressman who suggested that Biden, his wayward son and “business associate,” arranged a conference call to “talk about the weather.”  Sometimes outright lies worked best for them: “The border is secure.”

But Democrats, handicapped by blind hatred, see nothing out of the ordinary in those unrelenting attacks on President Trump. Objective, clear-thinking Americans see a different picture. They can only conclude that they’re witnessing a political feeding frenzy – not the even-handed administration of justice.

As Democrats continue tinkering with our justice system, they’re engaging in an incredibly dangerous gambit. When citizens start to question the fairness of their justice system, when they believe it’s been corrupted, they lose respect for it. That inevitably leads to social unrest, widespread anarchy, and the eventual disintegration of society. Many would say it’s already begun.
