About Brian Wright

Hello, I'm Brian Wright, the proprietor and chief content provider to this Web opinion and review site. The Coffee Coaster (thecoffeecoaster.com) has been around since late 2006, and in early 2012 I finally decided to give the site a major makeover with this Wordpress implementation. My views are 'wholistic libertarian,' meaning focused on the spiritual--I like to use the word: essentual--evolution we will need, individually, in order to reach the New Paradigm of peace, freedom, and abundance. Let's help one another in the process.

Brian’s Column: Eureka-Bingo! Major Discovery on STUPID-19

On the Final Steps to Figuring out the Massive Deception of ‘Covid’
By Brian R. Wright

Patrick Henry —> and I say Happy Independents Day. Note the form of the word, because if we do not rise as Independents, we shall surely not rise much longer.

Yes, thanks to a lot of help from my friends, I believe I have figured out the keys to the Deception of All Time, which give very timely clues to whodunit, as well. Three key articles, columns, or videos:

  1. https://bit.ly/2BnZoBe_Killing_Old_People
    7/2/2020, Murder by Lockdown—Lew Rockwell republication of the fourth installment of a four-part column by Jon Rappoport, reporting on an article by John Pospichal (https://medium.com/@JohnPospichal/questions-for-lockdown-apologists-32a9bbf2e247) in Medium.
  2. https://bit.ly/2ZyCXRL_Del_Interview_Zev_Zelikov
    7/2/2020 Dr. Zev Zelenko shows CV success with HCQ-zinc, consumate pure clinical outpatient doctor successfully treats hundreds of patients for advanced symptoms of  ‘COVID-19,’ preventing need for hospitalization. Confirmed by 1000s of other practitioners worldwide.
  3. https://bit.ly/3dWjrUk_Off_Guardian_PCR_Tests_Useless
    7/3/2020 COVID19 PCR Tests are Scientifically Meaningless. Subtitle: Everything we’ve been told about COVID is a HOAX!,  referred by precious, indefatigable Barb Lowe of the National Vaccine Information Center (@NVICLoeDown), article by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News.

These are the three data points that I believe have finally led to a resolution of serious questions that were remaining as to whether ‘covid’ was real, and if it was, what was/is it. We know from the Rockwell article and from whistleblower work in NYC, in particular, including Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell (https://bit.ly/2C8aXML_Cameron_Kyle_Sidell) and RN hero Erin Osznewski (https://bit.ly/37qv58g_Nurse_Whistleblower) that cognizant hospital staff were and are directing ‘covid’-diagnosed and even NON-‘covid’-diagnosed patients to ventilators [and virtually certain death, 90% fatal via lung explosion].

Then we also know from bullet #2 that there’s a “something” called “COVID-19” presenting as extreme respiratory symptoms (hypoxia presumably being among them) that Zelekov’s work and 100s of other doctors worldwide are successfully treating—~ 100% to no symptoms (https://bit.ly/2YGlGaz_TownHall_HCQ_Works_3_Instances)—with hydroxychloroquine-zinc-azithromycin.

Brian’s Column: Turning Point

Will Blind Obedience to Official Stories Be the End of Us?
Brian R. Wright

… or even simple mass acquiescence without belief.

Was sitting for a quick afternoon beer at Moe’s—trying to give him my business during ‘lockdown lite’ since the ‘covid’ op has seriously damaged these fine people—and I noted PGA Tour SS (sans spectators) on the television. Moe’s cook is taking a break at the bar, too, as only one table is occupied. One other guy is there, too, paying customer.

I point to the screen, saying “how much longer?” with my eyes expressing exasperation at the whole capitulation of “Sports’ Nation” to the mainstream-Pharma white-coat panic mongers of the ‘covid’ sleaze operation. “I’ll be sure glad when the NFL opens up to full stadiums.” Both of my fellow barsitters rain on that parade with frowns, practically in unison: “Naw, they’re not coming back… at least not this year.”

The banter continues, with other-customer barsitter telling me that Major League Baseball takes in more money that the National Football League—I didn’t know that, and need to check it out. Anyway, the consensus of the two is that if the panic can kill baseball and hockey (as well as spectator-real golf), it can sure kill the NFL. I still hold out believing that college football, at least, will defy the CovOp. I mean college football fans are ANIMALS, I can’t see them letting  a bunch of pinheaded p-words stomp on their sacred-warrior traditions.

We shall see. Continue reading

Covtardia is the Only Real Disease We Have to Deal With

Covtardia (the ‘mass-batshit-crazy disease’) = gullible acceptance of the mainstream ‘covid’ official story that a meaningless positive test for an unidentified virus => an infection that will kill you [when 90% of the positives have no symptoms and a cheap, 99% cure(s) exists for serious symptoms mistakenly called‘covid’] so governments lock down, isolate, and mask everyone to bury businesses, livelihoods, and lives.

Masks-Harm.com

This column started out as a letter to my state senator, just to convince him that general public wearing of masks is both harmful and useless. But it’s become much more than that: now the landing page for a url forward of masks-harm.com… covering both the uselessness AND harm of the public donning of symbols of slavery and submission. Further, masks-harm.com is a sister page to my more recent covidfactsheet.com, where I provide a foundation to my imminent booklet, The Thinking Individual’s Guide to ‘covid’. This ‘covid’ masks-harm page has two sections: 1) Masks and 2) Other.

Masks

Practical Issue #1: Masks Do No Good against Viruses

The above right image shows a manufacturer’s warning on the ineffectiveness of their ear-loop masks against any virus, ‘covid’ included. Since these ear loop masks are the masks that several jurisdictions are making mandatory, simple logic tells the most simple of simpletons that your ear loop mask is NFG, no ‘covid’ prevention need whatsoever. Case closed and #masknot. If you want the science…

The most recent RCT (randomized control test) study was performed in May 2020 for CDC and the WHO (World Health Org). This study
https://bit.ly/2ZXiAiz_Ben_Swann_CDC_Study_Masks
was reported by Ben Swann on the heels of another study he cited, which was fact -checked away by YouTube, that said the same thing: namely, that all the RCT studies are coming back that public masking has no effect on virus infection. I’d like to spell out the three conclusions explicitly, which I transcribed from the podcast:

Nonpharmaceutical Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Nonhealthcare Settings–and Environmental Measures
Jimgy Xiao et al, University of Hong Kong May 2020

Study was conducted in preparation for the development of guidelines by the World Health Organization on the use of nonpharmaceutical interventions for influenza pandemics in nonmedical settings. [10 randomized control tests.]

1) We did not find evidence that the surgical type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility. However, as with hand hygiene, face masks might be able to reduce the transmission of other infections and therefore have value in an influenza pandemic when healthcare resources are stretched.

2) Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids. There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

3) In lower income settings it is more likely that reusable cloth masks will be used rather than disposable medical masks because of cost and availability. There are still a few uncertainties in the practice of face mask use, such as who should wear the mask and how long it should be used for. In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks, but compliance in uninfected close contacts could be a problem. Proper use of face masks is essential because improper use might increase the risk for transmission. Thus, education on the proper use and disposal of used face masks, including hand hygiene, is also needed.

Further, the 3d finding above shows that using a cloth mask is worse for a wearer than wearing a disposable mask for a number of reasons. The second of the three findings disposes of the argument that doctors wear surgical masks for purposes of discouraging virus transmission. Similar findings have been reported by many others, most notably Canadian scholar and researcher Denis Rancourt:
https://bit.ly/3ejIscu_Rancourt_Masks_No_Work.

Practical Issue #2: Masks cause Harm to Wearer and Spread Disease

The fact that masks pose serious risks to their wearers was first made clear to me by neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock’s short article here:
https://bit.ly/2y2E6Hq_Blaylock_on_Mask_Hazards. Significantly, masks:

  • lower oxygen and raise CO2 in the lungs
  • seriously impair; respirator (N95) masks can reduce O2 by 20%
  • must NOT be worn by children, lung-diseased, frail individuals
  • retain and increase viral load incl. ‘covid’ in nasal passages
  • impart fiberglass particles and unknown chemicals to the body
  • are flammable, and can cause serious facial burns if ignited
  • trap to face and lungs contaminants and dirt from the environment

A number of demonstrations using CO2 and O2 meters have been performed on live subjects on the Web. Government media-social media, e.g. mainstream nooz, Google/YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, has spiked such demos; Googlement -YouTube removed the entire Del Bigtree YouTube channel (including the short video where Del is testing his son on what a mask does to CO2 levels [>10,000 ppm vs. OSHA limit of 5,000 ppm]!

Leaving the technical question for the reasonable adult, why in heck would you even consider putting on one of these sheep muzzles EVEN IF IT DID WORK… AT ALL?!!! The fact is they’re no better than #masknot at preventing viruses, even if ‘covid’ were in fact caused by a virus—http://covidfactsheet.com shows you no one has identified a causal virus. [covidfacts also say 90-95% of those who have tested positive on the random-number-generating PCR test have no or mild symptoms; hydroxychloroquine-zinc cures 99% of those with severe symptoms.]

Add to the risk of harm the psychological and spiritual aggression masks imply, most rational human beings do not choose to wear face diapers.Criminals and hold up artists, on the other hand, like nothing better than to conceal their identity. The average fellow, however, prefers to breathe free and live free.

Practical Issue #3: My Governor or other PUblic Official Says I Have to Mask Up

You’re in a store now and the governor of your state has gone off the rails of legal authority and issued an edict mandating mask wearing. The proprietor or manager tells you it’s against the law to let you in the store without a ‘face covering.’ NO… IT… IS… NOT. No chief executive of any state of the union can “make law.”

That function belongs to the legislature exclusively and may not be abdicated… per every state constitution in the United States. [I want to take a moment to commend Mr. Pete Hendrickson for drawing everyone’s attention to this fundamental principle and, further, his work in providing the applicable constitutional provisions for several states. Michigan makes a good example thanks to Dictator-Gov Whitmer:
https://bit.ly/3gm6JAD_Michigan_Liberty_Key.

Pete further maintains one of the more comprehensive pages on the Web wrt the ‘covid’ phenomenon—The Hysteria Supplment—with insights particularly into how it has Humpty Dumptied our real economic lives:
https://losthorizons.com/THS.htm.

But to the issue at hand. No, the unconstitutional edicts issued by any state official are null and void, as having never occurred. Which is certainly true. But our store proprietor has already drunk the Koolaid and won’t budge.

What’s below may be dated, or are thoughts to build upon.

Letter to the State Senator

Novi, MI 48375
25 May 2020

Senator Jim Runestad
201 Townsend Street
Suite #7500
Lansing, MI 48933

Subject: Masks pose serious risks, please make official announcement!

Dear Senator Runestad:

World-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock recently explains why “Face Masks Pose Serious Risks…” at
https://bit.ly/2y2E6Hq_Blaylock_on_Mask_Hazards
Masks:

  • lower oxygen and raise CO2 in the lungs
  • seriously impair; respirator (N95) masks can reduce O2 by 20%
  • must NOT be worn by children, lung-diseased, frail individuals
  • retain and increase viral load incl. ‘covid’ in nasal passages
  • impart fiberglass particles and unknown chemicals to the body
  • are flammable, and can cause serious facial burns if ignited
  • trap to face and lungs contaminants and dirt from the environment

Please take a look at the manufacturer’s disclaimer about ear loop masks:

[Image above right.]

IOW, the standard masks cropping up on misinformed people everywhere “WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION AGAINST COVID-19.” For a more thorough demolition of the mask craze, please watch this 4-minute video from Del Bigtree: https://bit.ly/2XjXkkB_Masks_R_A_Dangerous_Joke. [Spiked by YouTube.]

The video is significant in that major public health figures from WHO, NIH, including Anthony Fauci, are on the record stating that mass-masking is “political theater, not a scientifically sound public health practice.”

Further, antisocial distancing weakens immune systems and must end in parallel with the unmasking:

Senator, please exercise due diligence and put out the word to our public health officials and lawmakers that they need to issue a news release or advisory on these facts, e.g.

MASKS POSE SERIOUS RISKS TO THEIR NORMAL-PUBLIC WEARERS.
PLEASE DO NOT PRACTICE “DISTANCING” OR WEARING OF SURGICAL MASKS

Medical Malpractice/Homicide En Masse

We also now know that hospitals are denying known proven treatments to patients exhibiting ‘covid’ symptoms, e.g. hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) w/zinc, and instead subjecting these patients to known-to-be-90%-fatal aggressive artificial ventilation machines that explode the patients’ lungs. Insider whistleblowers in New York City, from a Tweet I posted a few weeks ago:

Human Costs of ‘Covid’ Shutdown

  • From The Hill: The Covid-19 shutdown will cost Americans millions of years of life:
    https://bit.ly/3dDP0SI_Lockdown_Causes_Millions_of_Years_of_Lost_Life
  • Several studies show that for every increase of 1% in American unemployment, 58,000 Americans will die as a result within a period of five years. [Unemployment is up roughly 10% since December 2019 => 580,000 Americans will die within five years. Round down to 500,000 due to unknown variables of how sustained an individual’s employment is.] Bottom line, the ‘Covid’ shutdown will kill half a million people. Compare that to the CDC official number, discounted by at least 90% for CDC inflation of deaths and refusal of proper treatment: US ‘Covid’ discounted deaths, to date: less than 12,300.

Support Massive Mask Noncompliance (MMN) to Save the (Human) Species

I’ve become increasingly convinced that the shutdowns, masking, distancing, etc.—especially symbolized by the universal masking practice (leading to compulsory vaccine poisoning and compliance)—is nothing less than a mass ritual suicide (MRS) subliminal message, mainly via TV audiovisuals, in the overall global oligarchy program. Thus, we have an immediate need for mass disruption of that cultural message to self-destroy.

Along those lines, for the time being I’ve designed the following bumper sticker(s):

New Breathe-Easy Healing Bikini Mask

Now a separate column
https://bit.ly/3e9Gr2c_Breathe_Easy_Healing_Bikini_Mask,
and here to occupy a special place as an assembly diagram for constructing a cheap, disposable, effective (at least as effective as any of the ear loop or bandana masks—with zero of the significant dangers) face covering from ordinary household products, like what the US Surgeon General recently described. It not only has health-and-life-enhancing properties, it virtually distances you (providing at least as much protection as what studies show or don’t show for staying six feet apart).

Looking forward to a second-generation model, to incorporate additional health and protection by means of healing gems and stones. Units currently undergoing field tests in SE Michigan. Readers are encouraged to use the idea as open source to create and deploy one’s own breathe-easy healing bikini mask straightaway.

Note: this Breathe-Easy mask hasn’t worked out as I’d hoped. It was all right until the governor made her edict and the general public went along….

Odds and ends.

[Scientists have not purified or isolated an actual virus but label the strand of RNA they have found as the SARS CoV-2 ‘virus’ because of its 79% similarity to the SARS CoV-1 strand of RNA ‘virus.’ The tissue or biological origins of the CoV-2 RNA strand are unknown; the presence of an undetermined quantity of the CoV-2 RNA strand along with a small list of common symptoms—temperature, cough, radiographic qualities of the lungs, white blood cell count—can yield a positive diagnosis of a disease that medical authorities have called COVID-19. Or by CDC guidelines a doctor can simply “presume” a patient has “COVID-19” and write that down as a case… and off to the kill ventilators! The PCR tests and antibody tests are wholly arbitrary, signifying nothing.][1]

Brian’s Column: Whither ‘Zombie Nation’

What good is freedom if mainstream-minions fear their shadows and stay home?
By Brian R. Wright

[“By the way, consider this a phase III in my thecoffeecoaster.com musings: I’ll keep them shorter and, I hope, less, well, the word “vituperative” comes to mind—I prefer “passion-ately immature.” Today I cringe at some of the verbal excess of earlier writings, way too far in my head and way weakminded for that. Hey, it was what it was. I can only do what I come to be aware of… to continue.”]

This thought came to me early in the week, after a Father’s Day with a new golf entourage Sunday Skins group. Then later in the previous week when my live fantasy football league and, then, members of a golf outing I’m organizing seemed to curb their enthusiasms for taking part. I’ve decided to do an actual dine-in with my favorite local independent business, Moe’s, who’s been hit hard by the ‘covid’ op:

Mrs. Moe (Debbie) had mentioned that six restaurants were closing their doors in Novi-Farmington on account of the CovOp. “Yup, last week we were allowed to open for dine in, and we went from 10% of our former business to 15%, that’s all.” Today we chat a bit longer, seems like a decent number of tables, maybe four or five, filled. Debbie says she and Moe agree with me 1000%, but it’s the public image they need to adopt.

Suddenly it hits me. Hand slaps forehead. Knowing what I know of the mainstream lies regarding ‘covid’ and ‘GFloyd’ and the rest, and traveling in the fact-based alternative circles I do, it’s simply not occurred to me that LARGE NUMBERS OF THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THE COMPLETE, UNMITIGATED BULLSHIT PUT OUT BY GOVERNMENT AND ITS MAINSTREAM MEDIA… Even after months of officially obvious ‘covid’ whoppers to the casual observer. This goes for probably half… of Moe’s customer base, my fantasy football colleagues, and golf-outing gatherers, too. Continue reading

Guest Column: Roark’s Courtroom Speech

Unforgettable and Timely
From The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

No wish to violate anyone’s IP, though the book was published in 1943 and the movie in 1949, same year I was born! [I read the book in the summer between my junior and senior years in high school… when my family had moved from Oklahoma City to Overland Park, Kansas, where I was enrolled at prestigious middle class WASPish Shawnee Mission West. The experience was cathartic and transforming, at least in terms of my view of the world, and fuel for my nascent idealism.]

Hence, I’ll simply enter the IMDb quote verbiage for this page:

Why Roark’s Speech Today?

At the risk of stating the obvious, we the American people are being subjected to a torrent of lies and false flag operations by government, government media, and simulacra of government(s) . Why? To manufacture consent. As the father of modern mind control and propaganda, Edward Bernays, put it:

“The conscious intelligent manipulation of the organized opinions and habits of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who run this unseen mechanism constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. Continue reading

Guest Column: Hydroxychloroquine a Proven Treatment Worldwide

1000s of Doctors: Yes, Hydroxychloroquine Works Against Wuhan Coronavirus
by Katie Pavlich via TownHall [original full April 5, 2020, column here]

Over the past three weeks, there’s been debate over whether hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a drug used for decades to treat malaria, can help ease the symptoms of Wuhan coronavirus. During White House press briefings, reporters have done their best to shoot down the possibility.

But doctors around the country and the world are using it and seeing positive results.

First, in Los Angeles:

  • Dr. Anthony Cardillo said he has seen very promising results when prescribing hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc for the most severely-ill COVID-19 patients.
  • “Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free,” Cardillo told Eyewitness News. “So clinically I am seeing a resolution.”
  • Cardillo is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank.
  • He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication.
  • “We have to be cautious and mindful that we don’t prescribe it for patients who have COVID who are well,” Cardillo said. “It should be reserved for people who are really sick, in the hospital or at home very sick, who need that medication. Otherwise we’re going to blow through our supply for patients that take it regularly for other disease processes.”

New York:

  • Dr. Mohammud Alam, an infectious disease specialist affiliated with Plainview Hospital, said 81 percent of infected covid patients he treated at three Long Island nursing homes recovered from the contagion.
  • “In this crisis, I realized I had to do something,” Alam said. ”I realized if this was my dad, what would I do? And I would do anything I could to help.”
  • Alam said he decided he could not apply the touted combination of the antimalarial hydroxychloroquine and antibiotic azithromycin because the side effects could be potentially fatal for his high-risk patients, many of whom had underlying heart issues.
  • So instead, Alam replaced azithromycin with another decades-old antibiotic that doesn’t pose any known risks to the heart.

Brian’s Column: “Open in Defiance”

An Owosso barber shows the world at large how to throw off the collars[1]
By  Brian R. Wright

It is a turning moment in the freedom movement—on a deep psychological level, as when the colonials read Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, and realized they had to let go of not just the King of England but the whole concept of kings, entirely. Karl Manke, Owosso, Michigan—haircutter for 60 years, author, pillar of the community, and occasional hobo train rider—just came right out and said what all the Howard Beales of America are thinking these days, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this any more!”

Literally, “I can’t afford to not be working,” “Lockdown makes no sense for a mild flu,”  “I don’t need the governor to be my mother,” “I can… run my business how I feel I should run it,” and “I’m opening, and will stay open… ‘until Jesus walks in or they arrest me.'” That was the day after he opened, Monday, May 4th. He’s been putting in 12-14 hour days ever since. I cite mainly from the the unexpectedly well-written article from the corporate paper on Tuesday, May 5th, then I digest for a few days.

Sure enough, up and attem, today, Friday, May 8th, needing to be no place, “Hmmm, you know I can really use a haircut.” My prospective Toledo, Ohio, haircutter tells me her Governor Ball-Less Whiner, goose-stepping to the antisocial-distancing potentates, is not letting grooming services back for two more weeks.

I’m going. Have to. North and west about 70 miles to stand up for my country and its First Principles… and its second one, too: Never leave active liberty-front fighters without support. What’s this from the East Room, among us social terrorists, grandma proudly displays her Q-buster of a trim! Continue reading
