Nope…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
The “No on SB277” people blew it again.
It is tragic. If the issues weren’t so important, and the “No on SB277 ” activists so serious, we could laugh at what appears to be a remake of Max Sennet’s 1920s “Keystone Kops.” But, what is happening is not funny. It is horrible, and I am NOT going to let this stand without criticism.
There are probably forty thousand (40,000) activists in California fumbling, and stumbling around trying to find some way of overturning the monstrous damage about to be inflicted on California’s children by the completely corrupt Democratic Party with their Mandatory Vaccine program. Despite the fact that most of the activists are smart, dedicated, people, they are getting whipped every time they come out to play. Why? That’s the question.
Let’s answer it.
If you can believe it – there was a second completely “No on SB277” mismanaged foray. They called it a “Referendum.” Already, all over the news, we find bits and pieces of the calamity. Referendum proponents are hiding – as well they should be. The “excuses,” for what happened, are wending their way onto FaceBook pages. It ain’t pretty…
But, it was a classic screw-up. There is a lot of finger-pointing going on about why it didn’t work, but there is only one bottom line – the groups DID NOT GET TOGETHER, and make a common strategy.
Again…
But, I’m about to tell you what REALLY happened…
As you remember, it was just a few months ago that the California Democrats sleazed their mandatory vaccine death pus program across the Governor’s desk, not because they ran a good campaign, but because the opposition, calling themselves the “California Coalition For Health Choice” (CCHC) ran what has to be the worst political campaign of all times. Here is what I said last July…
“The “No on SB277” campaign in California was, literally, completely mishandled. Senator Richard Pan didn’t win, the California Coalition for Health Choice (CCHC) LOST. Not only did they LOSE, but they created a discouragement in the ranks that may, or may not, be solvable. There are probably 40,000 activists in California, right now, sitting around their FaceBook pages, literally STUNNED.
Why?
I have never, in all my years, seen a campaign this badly mishandled. The defeat of SB277 should have been a cakewalk. Every other State beat it – with ease. Why didn’t that happen here? The answer is complicated, but simple, at the same time.
FaceBook. The “No on SB277” teams used FaceBook as their organizing platform – and that was a HUGE mistake. Why? Because FaceBook emphasizes “selfies.” There, it is always about how pretty we are today, how cute the children are, and we can un-friend, or ban, anyone who isn’t on the exact same page we are – a pettiness in prioritizing. And such a basic device was used to organize a political campaign. It was the perfect device to create divisiveness of the first order. And that’s what happened.
A campaign of divisiveness.
What happened was that, instead of the open-discussion between competent people we, in the Health Freedom Movement are accustomed to, designed to reach understanding and consensus, we had the FaceBook page owners, and their hand-picked administrators, controlling the issues, and the minute-to-minute discussion of those issues. So, what came out of that was a working premise that was, literally, STUPID, the maunderings of political fools.
What was that working premise?
“We know that vaccines are safe and effective (sniff, sniff), but we just want personal choice (whimper, whimper).”
Yes, the fight against the passing of SB277 in the California legislature was badly mishandled. BADLY mishandled. But, with that loss did the teams learn from what happened, pick up the pieces, analyze, reorganize, and go to war?
Nope…
They made the situation worse.
If this keeps up, with these people running the opposition to the vaccine programs in California, within two years we are all going to be legally dragged out of our cars at “Vaccine Roadblocks,” and have seventy-two (72) CDC recommended adult vaccines stabbed into our eyeballs.
The “Referendum…”
I find it hard to believe that adults, in California, CANNOT sit down, together, to observe, and analyze, what is happening around them BEFORE they act. But, that’s what’s happening with the “No on SB277” teams.
Last July, after the passing of SB277, there was talk of what to do next. People were actually starting to meet and discuss. But then the “divisiveness” factor jumped to the fore. One of the groups that had NO SAY in the earlier campaign decided that “it was THEIR time to lead.” And the mechanism they used to command a leadership role was the “Referendum.” Without one bit of observation and analysis, they jumped on their horses and madly rode around in circles, embracing something they did not understand, had little knowledge of, nor understood the consequences of – just to do something, anything, to get rid of SB277. They paid HEAVILY for that inattention when the whole Referendum fell apart in its last days of signature gathering.
A Referendum? What the hell is that?
In California, the public gets to vote, not just for people for public office, but for ideas, in two forms: (1) Initiatives (Propositions), and (2) Referendums. An example of an Initiative was the “California Proposition 37, Mandatory Labeling of Genetically Engineered Food (2012)” a few years ago. A Referendum, on the other hand, asks the public to vote on some law the legislature passed – either approving or killing it. The “Referendum” we are talking about here, was to put the SB277 issues on the 2016 ballot.
But, let’s back up and look at all this…
The “California Proposition 37, experience was a lesson for us all. Going into the election the “Yes on 37” proponents had an 80-20% commanding lead. Their opposition, basically Monsanto, poured ONLY 49 million dollars ($49,000,000) into the campaign, mostly TV and radio advertising, claiming that if Prop 37 passed, California children would starve to death, and California farms would cease to exist. Their campaign worked. California Proposition 37 did not pass. Click on the blue link to see the details.. It is a short, but interesting, read.
A lesson for us all…
Had the “No on SB277” groups sat down, together, and observed and analyzed the overall situation, they would have reached a common conclusion. What was that? That a “Referendum on SB277” was THE LAST thing anybody would want to do. Why? Because the CDC, alone, would have put in 500 million dollars ($500,000.000) to defeat it – and the would have brought in every big gun they had to go on nightly TV condemning the Referendum and the proponents. They would have made it VERY personal. And we would have LOST GROUND.
Sun Tzu in his Art Of War states that you NEVER fight on the enemy’s battlefield, especially when you are radically outnumbered. These people were setting up for a David and Goliath confrontation where there were going to be 500 million Goliaths (drug company dollars) against them during the election process. They were setting up to get annihilated.
Annihilated…
Worse, is that the “No on SB277” people DID NOT HAVE CONTROL of the Referendum process. They didn’t even know why they needed that. Most, I think, didn’t even know who DID have control. Consequently, they had no control over the message delivered, either. No control over, virtually, any part of this political action. They all got used.
As many, if not most of you, have read, the Referendum ended in disaster – with accusations and finger-pointing – well deserved, I might ad.
WELL DESERVED…
They simply did not get the signatures they needed. Thank God…
Now What?…
“No on SB277” groups – please pay attention.
Ok, let’s observe the situation, and analyze where the REAL state of affairs actually is. The situation, as I see it, is actually pretty good. There were some very good things that happened during the Referendum process. Things that are NOT going away.
Yes, the good guys lost the first two battles so-to-speak. But, let me, once again, point out the important thing – Our side LOST the first battle using a poor message, and a terrible, egotistical, campaign. The second battle was just as bad – bad analysis, poor planning, lack of controls.
Both of these problems are easily overcome.
What is still here is a trained army, a bit battle weary, discouraged, and stunned, a second time, but right here in place. Good…
A trained army? GOOD… VERY GOOD. it is the apparatus we need to move forward.
So, people, why not do something that will work? – Planning a campaign from start to finish. Why is that concept so difficult to get your heads around?
Yes, of course, I could lay out the exact strategy that would get this army to victory. For me, as a Crisis Management Consultant, laying out a battle plan is just a matter of a situation analysis leading up to laying out of simple steps. But, at this point I will not do it. Why? Because, although there is an army, there is no Command Structure in place to carry out a plan. The “No on SB277” people will NOT meet. They’d rather dither.
Yes, there are some very intelligent things happening on individual levels. They are good, but they don’t win wars. And, this is a war. In a war you accomplish several things at once – in coordination, carrying out your plan.
Problems to solve…
To start, let’s define what “Victory” is. For some, it’s one thing. For others, it is a lot more. I see it as a big problem that the “No on SB277” teams have not made an official “Victory” definition, indicating where they want to end up. How do you get anywhere if you don’t know where you want to go? To do that you need to meet, and talk about this..
The other day I used the Awake California FaceBook page to ask the question above. For three days I got answers about what each person saw as “Victory.” The answers were great. But, there was a clear message in them – there is no organization. Here is what I said:
“I am in the middle of writing an article for the Bolen Report about what happened to the Referendum. I have roughly two hundred thousand readers. I have plenty of very good sources, telling me what went on, and why it happened. The article is titled “Strike Two…”
But, the article is not about that Referendum failure, per se, except to point out that things would be a lot better with real organization – people working together on a comprehensive plan. My attitude is “Shit Happens – Now What?”
I need a question answered about what people involved in the “No On SB277” fight would define as “Victory.” I know, as a member of the long-lived North American Health Freedom Movement, that you can’t win a battle if you don’t know where you are going. So, please tell me “What would be a “Victory,” so we can begin planning how to get there.
There are no bad answers.”
If you want to follow what people responded, go here. I was glad to see the answers. Now, if we could just get the thinkers into one room, and get them to organize…
My Own View…
I have hesitated to push my own view of what needs to happen, and why, on people. But, today, I am going to give you a scenario, with a supposition, to examine. The choice of what you do with this is yours.
In any situation where there is a problem, the first thing that needs to get accomplished is an analysis of the problem. The old adage “Identifying the problem is half way to solution” is ALWAYS true. That’s why you get people together – so you can agree on what the actual problem is. Then, you can figure out, from there, how to break the problem down into elements you can solve, and decide who is going to do what, and when.
It’s that easy.
The supposition, below, is a watered-down view of what I, Tim Bolen, think about the problem. Personally, I am one hundred percent against vaccines in any form. I am a true “Anti-Vaxxer” for very good reasons, starting with the understanding that vaccines are made by drug companies, and you cannot trust ANYTHING a drug company says to you.
More, vaccines are regulated by public agencies that have a significant financial interest in their promotion – and consistently lie to us. That system does not work. Consequently I do not trust any of it – I won’t put any of that crap into my body.
A “Victory” supposition – Suppose, for the moment, that “Victory” could be defined as “Educating the public, and the government, so that they understood why Exemptions are necessary for vaccines.” Where would we start? In an ORGANIZED CAMPAIGN we’d put a statewide program to make the REAL dangers of vaccines known to as many people as possible, and we’d have a consistent message, a delivery system, goals and objectives, and ways to monitor progress. We’d know who was going to do what. Everybody involved would perform the role they chose. Meetings would be held to monitor progress and ongoing problems.
For instance, rather than a “Referendum,” why not an “Initiatives (Proposition)” that would (1) educate the public about the real dangers, and limitations of mandatory vaccines. Then, (2) another to fix the prices of vaccines at $20.00. Why not? It costs a drug company, I’d guess, less than two cents to make a vaccine. Some required vaccines cost the State $240.00. That’s not right. Then, (3) Force the State Health Department to test each and all, children, at their own expense, for vaccine reactions BEFORE they force them on the those children.
Simple? yes. Effective? Yes, it would be. And we would not have to win on the ballot.
“The Vaccine Safety and Effectiveness” Initiative…
In the first Proposition (1) The Vaccine Safety and Effectiveness” Initiative, we’d start with the opening “Since the California legislature has mandated a 100% vaccine participation for all California children it is only right that those same vaccines be guaranteed to be 100% Safe and Effective.” The safety of our children is paramount. For instance:
(A) The Vaccine Standards Clause – Whereas, we are aware that vaccines, for our children, are NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE US, but in Third World countries, like China, India, and Bengladesh, each batch, of each vaccine, mandated in the program, must be:
[1] individually tested by a California Independent Laboratory not owned, or funded, in any way, by the vaccine or pharmaceutical industry, and found safe, and up to preset quality standards, before they are disseminated. These test are to be paid for by the California Department of Health.
[2] Each vaccine made in a foreign country must have its “country of origin” stamped, in large letters, in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese on the vaccine package. Anyone, who does not want to have a substance from one of these countries injected into their child may refuse the vaccine on this basis alone – and a permanent exemption to that vaccine is to be issued.
[3] The California Department of Health is responsible to insure that each batch of each mandated vaccine is properly handled at each step of manufacturing, according to accepted US standards for biologicals. The California Department of Health is to inspect the foreign manufacturing facilities for compliance, on an each batch, of each vaccine, using those US manufacturing standards. Any non-compliance must be a cause for turning back that batch of vaccines or all vaccines. Three bad batches of any vaccines is cause for permanent discontinuation of the use of that manufacturing facility.
[4] The California Department of Health is responsible to insure that each batch of each mandated vaccine is properly handled at each step of transportation, and storage, of vaccines. All vaccines are to be shipped, and stored, at all locations at an average, 175 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, complying with standards for biologicals.
[5] Failure to properly monitor vaccines, by employees of the California Department of Health assigned an oversight function is, at all times a felony. Should damage or death occur, to a child, the felony will increase, commensurately. Also, civil penalties are allowed.
(B) The Disneyland Protection Clause – it is common knowledge that the MMR, and other vaccines, “shed” – spewing respiratory droplets of laboratory manufactured disease, for at least two weeks after application.
[1] All children injected with an shedding-type vaccines must be sequestered from the public for a minimum period of three weeks, and may not be allowed to go into public places (like Disneyland), including schools, malls, airports, train stations, senior facilities, where unvaccinated visitors to our country, elderly, fragile, or immune system compromised people, might be present.
[2] The MMR, etc., shedder/spewers must present a laboratory test, and a signature from a doctor, before being allowed back into public showing they are no longer disease spewing.
[3] The parents, oir guardians, of these children must, during sequestration period, have a four-square-foot sign on their front entrance that states “Vaccine Infected Child Present – Stay 200 feet Back.” Those same parents, and other siblings, are to wear a mask in public for that entire period, with the words “Vaccine Infected Family – Stay Away” clearly imprinted on it.
(C) Vaccine Content Restriction Clause – No vaccines containing any amount of prohibited materials are allowed in the vaccine program. Prohibited Materials include: mercury, aluminum, human fetus material, monkey fetus, DNA altering materials, formaldehyde, etc.
(D) Vaccine Monitoring Clause – Any vaccine that shows problems in any other area of the world will be immediately withdrawn from the program, until such time as the State Health Department, through Independent laboratory findings, as described above, show them to be safe.
(E) Vaccine Administration Records – No vaccine administrator may, under any circumstances, sell or give any information to any party about vaccines for children. Vaccinated children, in California, are NOT to be part of any vaccine experiments without their full knowledge and consent. This includes any Federal programs.
(F) Vaccine Freshness Clause – No vaccine used in the State of California is allowed to have any form of preservative in it. All vaccines for California consumption must be adequately refrigerated.
(G) Vaccine Enhancement Clause – No vaccine used in the State of California is allowed to have any form of adjuvant (enhancement device) in it. All vaccines for California consumption must be adequately prepared without enhancers of any kind.
(H) Vaccine Effectiveness Clause – The United States Supreme Court has ruled that vaccines are inherently dangerous. The entire US Vaccine Program is based upon the concept of balancing risk against benefit. Therefore, it is the will of the people of California that only vaccines with a proven 99.95% Effectiveness Rating, as shown by Independent Laboratory testing, by laboratories, not owned, or funded, in any way, by the vaccine or pharmaceutical industry may be mandated.
(I) Vaccine Promotion Clause – No agency or any governmental unit involved in the dissemination of vaccines is allowed to promote vaccines in any way. They are not to make claims of efficacy, or safety, EXCEPT to provide information on the dangers of vaccines. Information on those dangers will be provided by to those agencies by the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC). Those public agencies will be responsible for posting those vaccines dangers, and warnings, as shown by the NVIC within two hours of being informed.
“The Vaccine Fair Pricing Initiative”
Vaccines are manufactured, primarily, in Third World countries. They cost, most likely, less than a cent to manufacture. So, why should they cost the California Consumer $240.00 each? When auto insurance was mandated in California, we set up an agency to fix the prices. it makes sense.
“The Vaccine Reaction and Necessity Testing Initiative.”
(A) The California State Health Department is to test each and all, children, at State expense, for vaccine reactions BEFORE they force them on thoise same children. Any child, or any sibling of that child, which shows any reaction gets a permanent lifetime exemption for that mandated vaccine.
(B) The California State Health Department is to test each and all, children, at the States’ expense, for pre-determined immunities BEFORE they force them on the those children. Any child which shows immunity gets a permanent lifetime exemption for that mandated vaccine.
Why such an Initiative?
I am not saying that Initiatives are the answer… I am saying that “Understanding the problem is half way to solution…” It is about developing an attitude. Can you imagine the look on the average Californian’s face when you inform them that vaccines are made in China and that the State is mandating that untested Chinese products are injected into our children?
Attitude…
Vaccines are dangerous beyond belief. They are not effective – that’s a lie. That’s the problem. Why would anyone with knowledge, have any other message?
“Victory,” to me, is shutting down the US Vaccine program. We do not need more damaged people.
What is YOUR definition of “Victory?”
Stay tuned.
