American Civilization Revival 1

The Garrett County History Museum of the Garrett County Historical Society presents early American civilization in a comprehensive, intelligent, and systematic way. 

With American civilization and history ignored in our failing public schools, institutions like this can help you educate your children about the inventiveness, contributions, bravery and beauty of early Americans. Below is a sample.

Church Safety and Security Practical Steps

 

While vacationing at Deep Creek, MD I found a Christian newspaper called Sword of the Lord Newspaper. "Proactive Steps for a Safe Church" by Tim Hazlette (Colonel retired from Kentucky State Police, Safety Coordinator for the Clays Mill Baptist Church, Doorkeeper Security Ministry) that provides a simple program for protecting Christians and Christian churches. 
I highly recommend their Doorkeeper Security Ministry to create safety and security in your church through Prevention, Protection, Detection and Response plans, protocols, and procedures.

Secondary Bigger than the Red Chinese Virus

As the world is fixated on the Red Chinese Virus, there are secondaries. What is a secondary? It is a larger event quietly operating in the background that, 50 years later, is much larger in impact on world history, systems, and people.
What are the secondaries we need to track?

Items to Get First Providers During a Pandemic

How can you become involved as a volunteer in disaster response?

Provide bio kits and gloves to your police, fire fighters, EMTs, nurses, etc. and others who are carrying the burden for the rest of us. 
If you can provide them them supplies, they can spend more time helping people and less time on the Internet trying to locate supplies.
If you don’t have access to those, smile at them, maybe buy them a cup of coffee and thank them for their sacrifice.
I donated bio kits and gloves to the Mt. Airy Police Department and the Maryland State Troopers.


Use whatever skills you have to help the American family.
For example, I know about and have personal bio kits. Most don’t.
When I stopped by the Mt. Airy Police Department MD last evening, the officer said they could not get them. They went online and all they could get was the old googles you used in your high school history class.
I gave him one kit and he responded, “We have seven officers! We need seven!”
That presented a quandary. I still have others who need them, like the firefighters who have yet to get back to me.
But I saw his point. He was trying to protect his fellow officers. So I went to the car, got him another 5, and said I would return tomorrow with another one. I also gave him the open one I used to instruct the mayor and told him to use it to instruct his fellow officers.
Educate yourself so you can educate others. For example, that Purell everyone is putting on their skin was only meant to be used occasionally. Now that people are using it constantly, the alcohol will split their skin and leave them open to infection. Soap, fat based, works best.
Visit the TACDA.ORG website for help. https://tacda.org

This will get you started.

Best estimates are that 3% to 5% homeowners are prepared for a possible disaster/emergency event.
Compare that to Switzerland where 95% are prepared.

Johns Hopkins on the Red Chinese Virus

The following is from Irene Ken, physician, whose daughter is an Assistant Professor in infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins university.

The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.

The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam). By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.

HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.

Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.

Any mix with 1-part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.

Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin.NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. 

The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.

NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth. While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only between 3 hours (fabric and porous),4 hours (copper and wood)You have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food, locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc. 

And when using the bathroom.24 hours (cardboard)42 hours (metal) and72 hours (plastic)But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.

The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars.

They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.

UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein. For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect. Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin.

The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.

Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.LISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.

The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.

You have to HUMIDIFY HANDS DRY from so much washing them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. 

The thicker the moisturizer, the better.
Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL
