Look forward to showing grandbaby that beautiful star The star is displayed at Cutsforth Corner on Hwy 207. To the editor: The annoying chatter from the front end of the Ford pickup had become an absolute shudder. This forced me to drift around Cutsforth Corner en route to Heppner in a more subdued manner than I might gener- ally have. And generally, I didn’t drive the ranch truck to work at the county’s his- toric courthouse, however, I had gotten every fraction of tread the factory tires had to offer, so the truck, if not I, had its sights set on the tire shop. Les Schwab Heppner is not the closest shop to the ranch, but it is in the county, and I can always feel secure in the service I will get from Amy, John or my old mate Jeff Orr. As I rounded the cor- ner, I thought to myself that I had not yet seen the giant Christmas star that annually rises at this juncture and junction. Thinking back to the previous December I recalled Justin Nelson, the star’s now sole keeper lamenting that, “The star is having technical diffi- culties, cord is broken, and rope light is broken.” He went on to say, “Even if I did get it going, not sure it will be as bright, and it is too heavy for one person, so no promises…” I suspect it was less the star, and more his heart that weighed heavy, after all just months before he had laid his father to rest follow- ing his untimely passing. I doubt Justin ever knew how the texts fairly flew in and amongst his colleagues. I reached out to the Todd and Melissa Lindsay who had already sounded the alarm. What to do. Plan a work party. Slip in undetected and light the star for him this year. Something had to be done, but what? Our fears were arrested a couple days later when he post- ed anew, “Thanks Corey Miller for helping me with the new lights and lifting the star.” I suspect he lifted Justin as well. I worked late that night and it was a stretch after closing time when I re- membered that if I was going to drive the truck back to Boardman, I better get to Schwab’s and get there in a hurry. I exited the Bartholomew Building at a gallop. Administrator Green, just on his way out, had me jump in his car and we zipped to Main. My luck held, as all the tire shop employees were gathering around the front desk readying for departure. One grabbed my keys as the other unlocked the front door to let me in. The young man who had the distinction of trad- ing out the tread, strode to the fore and excitedly went on with something about, “I cannot believe that you were able to drive that pickup a mile, let alone all the way across the county. Why, you wouldn’t believe the giant blister inside the right front wheel.” All while playing the video he had captured of the tire, with the truck aloft the lift. I didn’t really listen and looked past the video to my keys. It was late, the fog was rolling in and I had to get home. Yet as I headed for the door, I well-remembered him say- ing, “Someone was looking out for you…” As I sped through the gathering fog bank and into Lexington, a constituent called, and I weighed my options. I could pull over by the airport entrance or take a message and return the call a mile or two north of Lindsay Feedlot Road. Not much sense in trying anything in-between. Perhaps it was because I had spent 10 minutes on ~ Letters to the Editor ~ The Heppner Gazette Times will print all letters to the Editor with the following criteria met: letters submitted to the newspaper will need to have the name of the sender along with a legible signature.

Very soon every cit- izen in America and the world will be making a monumental decision re- garding whether to take a COVID-19 vaccination. I am writing this letter to give you information that has been censored, inaccu- rately reported and delib- erately withheld by those that have an agenda to use the COVID 19 pandemic to enforce a worldwide lock down of liberty. 1) The COVID death rate around the world is not three in a hundred but two in a thousand (Heppner Gazette-Times, Dr. Bhat- tacharya, 12/2/2020) 2) School age children in the USA are two to three times more likely to die of the seasonal flu than COVID. (Op. Cit. Bhat- tacharya) There is no valid reason to close down our schools. 3) The impact of the worldwide lockdowns of liberty, freedom, businesses and schools is unprecedent- ed and has never previously been used for disease con- trol. (Op. Cit. Bhattacharya) 4) The draconian world- wide lockdown will cause an estimated 130,000,000 additional deaths due to starvation, mostly children. Furthermore 80,000,000 children are now at risk of epidemic diseases due to the worldwide lockdown. Children throughout the world are bearing the brunt of controlling a disease for which they face little to no risk (Op. Cit. Bhattacharya) 5) Our youth are being denied a proper education, social activity, sports and companionship. This is a grave injustice. A recent CDC survey found 25 per- cent of youth in America between 18-24 have con- sidered suicide. Requiring a vaccine for a disease they have little to no risk is a travesty. 6) There has never been a vaccine developed in less than a year for any epidemic and never for a COVID flu. At the present time “there is no proof these vaccines will mount a sufficiently protec- tive immune response or how long the immunity will last.” (Jerusalem Post, Nov. 17, 2020) Even with a vaccine, the citizens of the world developing immunity (herd immunity) will bring an end to the COVID pandemic. (Op. Cit. Bhattacharya) 7) Moderna is a new pharmacy company large- ly controlled and partial- ly owned by Dr. Fauci. (Robert Kennedy, Village News, 7/24/2020) “Mod- erna has never produced an approved vaccine or run a large vaccine trial.” (Op. Cit. Kennedy) The National Institute of Health (NIH) di- rector Dr. Fauci “owns half the key patents for Moder- na’s controversial COVID vaccine and could collect half the royalties” (Op. Cit. Kennedy). “Anthony Fauci moved Moderna to the front of the line and allowed the company to skip animal tri- als” (Op. Cit. Kennedy). Dr. Fauci publicly announced he was encouraged with phase one of Moderna trials “despite the fact 20 percent of high dose and six percent of low dose groups of super healthy volunteers had a grade three severe or med- ically significant reaction following the vaccination. Any other vaccine would have been dead on arrival” (Op. Cit. Kennedy). Dr. Fauci skipped the animal trials because every other previous coronavirus had a unique penchant for “patho- logical priming” where death occurs when a vacci- nated animal encounters a wild virus. 8) Pfizer was pro- duced by a German com- pany called BioNTech, which Bill Gates largely controls after investing 55 million dollars (The Mot- ley Fool, Keith Spreights, 9/24/2020). Pfizer uses a MRNA technology that has never been approved before for vaccinations. The vaccine transfects mol- ecules of synthetic RNA into human cells tricking the body into making a protein that initiates an immune response. “There are unique and unknown risks to messenger RNA, including but not limited to, local and systemic in- flammatory responses that could lead to autoimmune conditions” (Jerusalem Post 11/17/2020). The National center for Biotechnology Information has warned there are other risks includ- ing “bio-distribution and persistence of the induced immunogen expression; the phone that my mind sug- gested I may be well further down the road, even possi- bly beyond Chris Rauch’s, and into straight sailing down the east boundary of the Bombing Range. Cer- tainly, with the headlights failing to illuminate much through the now intense fog you could image yourself just about anywhere. I am not sure one is meant to feel elation, won- der, fear and incredible clarity all at a moment in time. The sight of the bright blue Christmas star beam- ing out as far as it might under the conditions and rapidly passing me on the left meant a few things. Not the least of which, was that I was going too fast; second, I was in short order going to be parked in the front door of Quinn and Lindsay Grogan’s; it also meant that the star was back. The more daunting reality was that I was halfway through a 90-degree right hand turn! As I eased on down the road to home, my breath- ing steadied and my heart stopped crashing, I realized, that for the second time today, someone was look- ing out for me. I am set to become a grandfather just after the turn of the new year. I look forward to bringing my grandbaby down on a clear night and showing her that beautiful Christmas star. Look out for one another. And Co- rey-thanks for lifting all of us a bit. Merry Christmas Jim Doherty Do You Have Something to Share?

Cit. Jerusalem Post). The general public will be the guinea pigs for this mass experiment with no known assurance of immunity, but significant unknown and potentially life changing auto immune problems. 9) Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci have been working, developing and experimenting with vac- cines around the world for over two decades with mostly tragic results. In India Gates developed a polio vaccine that paralyzed 496,000 children. The India Supreme Court is hearing the case as I write. (Chil- dren’s Health Defense, R. Kennedy, Jr. 4/9/2020). In 2017 the World Health Organization was forced to admit the present world polio epidemic is predomi- nantly a Bill Gates vaccine. (Op. Cit. Kennedy). The Gates Foundation has been using experimental HPV vaccines on tens of thou- sands of Indian children with over 5 percent suf- fering severe side effects. (Op. Cit. Kennedy). Bill Gates organized a simu- lated worldwide corona exercise in Oct. 2019 called Event 201. Both Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci knew the COVID 19 pandemic was about to break out and used Event 201 to plan the lockdowns, face masks and prepared answers to ways to counter rumors the virus was man-made. (National Herald India, 5/1/2020). A Newsweek article (News- week, “Dr. Fauci backed controversial Wuhan Lab with U.S. Dollars for con- troversial risky Coronavi- rus research,”4/28/2020) documents that Fauci was head of the lab that gave the world the Wuhan Flu and never closed it down until April of 2020. How is it possible that the author of the death of millions in the world is the world’s foremost expert on the need for business and school closures, face masks in per- petuity, world police states and now a miracle vaccine by which he and Gates own the patents and control the exponential profits? None dare call it a conspiracy, but that is exactly what it is. The national news and media, Google, Facebook, all fact check, traitors in the government all cover for Fauci and Gates, and they are all accessories to the greatest crimes in his- tory. The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Thessalo- nians calls it the “mystery of iniquity.” John in the book of Revelation calls the COVID pandemic the be- ginning of the ‘beast’ global world tyranny (Rev. 13). 10) America and the world have been deceived to believe this COVID pandemic requires drastic measures that have put our civilization at risk. This is only the beginning of what the bible in Matthew 24 calls the ‘Great Tribula- tion.’ The church is largely quiet because they know the ‘great tribulation’ is upon us, but they have been deceived to believe they will be raptured out of the world. This letter is especially for the church as a wakeup call because they need to prepare to endure to the end as Jesus exhorted in Matthew 24. 11) Everything that is happening is leading up to what John in the book of Revelation called the ‘mark of the beast.’ The COVID vaccine will in due season be mandated, a prelude to the ‘mark of the beast.’ Just as there has been a great and pervasive effort to require all to wear a mask that has no COVID 19 value, in like manner there will be a great and pervasive effort to require all to accept the COVID vaccination. Bill Gates has promised all there will be no chip in the vaccine, however his team at MIT has developed “near infrared nano dots” (NIRQD) that are water soluble, biocompatible flu- orescent nanocrystals that emit infrared light under the skin and are compatible with the COVID vaccine. These nanocrystals can be read with a modified iPhone or smart phone (21stcentu- rywire.com 12/3/2019). It will be part of a vaccination I.D. digital identity used for surveillance and population control. 12) Do not put your faith in the government or expect to hear warnings if people are getting sick or dying after receiving COVID vaccination. Re- member the same news that gave you false polls and told you the election voting was the most honest in history will tell you the same lies about the “95 percent safe vaccinations. Know this: You cannot sue Pfizer or Moderna if you have severe side effects (or die). The government likely will not compen- sate you either. The federal government has granted companies like Pfizer and Moderna immunity from liability if something unin- tentionally goes wrong with the vaccines. It is very rare for a blanket immunity to be passed.” (Rueters, Marisa Taylor and Robin Respaut, July 7, 2020). 13) There is hope. God sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and provide deliv- erance from this wicked ‘beast’ system that is rising upon the entire world. Turn to Jesus and acknowledge He is indeed Lord and Sav- ior for all that believe in Him.
