Waking Up (Freedom Doesn’t Come in a Can)
A Protest Song Written and Performed by Jack DesBois
I was lying in my bed,
Waiting for the day to start,
Waiting for the sun to get me on my way,
And I waited, and I waited,
And while I lay and waited,
That old sun, he set upon another day.
And through the curtains I could swear I heard him say:
Freedom doesn’t come in a can.
Liberty won’t lead you by the hand.
No lecture series guarantees the key to living life.
There’s no magic pill to make you make a stand.
Freedom doesn’t come in a can.
There’s a songbird in a cage
Who I met the other day,
And she sang a song I never heard before.
It was mellow, it was sweet,
It turned my head, and it tapped my feet,
And I asked how she could sing when she can’t soar.
How could song so rich resound in one so poor?
She told me:
Freedom doesn’t come in a can.
Liberty won’t lead you by the hand.
No lecture series guarantees the key to living life.
There’s no magic pill to make you understand.
Freedom doesn’t come in a can.
There’s a fellow, don’t ask WHO,
Likes to tell us what to do:
Close your mind, and leave the thinking up to Doc.
He’s much smarter than you and me;
Listen to him, he’ll set you free.
You won’t even hear the clicking of the lock.
Well, I listened, but it’s my turn now to talk.
And I say:
Freedom doesn’t come in a can.
Liberty won’t lead you by the hand.
No lecture series guarantees the key to living life.
There’s no magic pill to make you make a stand amid the strife.
No, no one else will write you out the plan.
Freedom doesn’t come,
Freedom doesn’t come in a can.

Mike,
Big Pharma’s products appear to be good in the short-term; however, in regards to the treatment and prevention of chronic illness, they are worse than useless in the long-term.
The same way that the overuse or long-term use of antibiotics has caused some strains of microorganisms to mutate into so-called “superbugs” that are antibiotic resistant, the overuse or long-term use of Ivermectin will probably cause the Covid-19 virus to mutate into variants that are resistant to Ivermectin—and the same way that the Covid-19 virus has already mutated into variants that are resistant to the so-called Covid-19 vaccines, and as “after three decades of intensive use, Ivermectin resistance is now quite widespread.”: http://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/56852
Regarding Ivermectin, as you probably already know, Dr. Fauci performed horrific medical experiments on dogs whereby he subjected them to parasitic insects. Guess what Ivermectin is generally used for? To treat viral infection from parasitic insects. It is possible that Dr. Fauci used Ivermectin as part of his horrible medical experiments on dogs.
If he didn’t, then as all Big Pharma drugs are tested on animals who have the same level of intelligence and sentience as that of a human toddler, it was other Big Pharma doctors or researchers who tested Ivermectin on dogs or other animals they infected with a virus from a parasitic insect, in order to “scientifically prove” that Ivermectin is effective against viral infection from parasitic insects.
None of the natural foods and natural medicines that G-d created are tested on animals. They are cruelty-free. Pathogenic microorganisms cannot adapt to them, because in not having their so-called “inactive ingredients” isolated from their “active ingredient”, they are too complex for any microorganism to become resistant to merely by mutating a few of its genes.
Regarding the use of zinc, from what I have read, it should always be used with copper, so that the zinc supplementation does not deplete the person’s copper level. There are many zinc supplements which include copper for that reason.
I hope for you to consider researching natural alternatives to Ivermectin, and doing additional research on zinc if you did not already know about zinc in relation to copper, and to consult with a licenced naturopathic doctor before possibly using any natural alternatives to Ivermectin.
I agree with much of what you’ve said, but there are several protocols that work quite well for treating Covid. Ivermectin is generally used along with Zinc, an antibiotic and vitamins D and C. There are other effective treatments. If they had all been used instead of blacklisted, the death rate of the infected could have been reduced even further below the measly .2% that it stands at now… alas, our betters would rather sell billions of bucks worth of the jab… I believe that Pfizer’s sales are around thirty-five billion so far this year, you’d think that would be enough, but when you have to pay off politicians, doctors hospitals and countless other intermediaries… well, thirty-five billion just doesn’t go far enough. In fact, even at 100% vaxxed, they won’t have enough booty… thus the boosters and Pfizer’s new plan to sell a daily tablet. If everything works out ok for our medical tyrants, they can completely clean us out and send us slouching along into permanent serfdom. That’s the plan anyway.
This is interesting… a way to avoid the contagion being spread by the vaccinated:

The song “Waking Up” by Mr. DesBois neatly fits in the poignant “mellow…sweet” genre of the American Folk Revival; I’m thinking mainly of the early 1960s. Mr. Bryant acutely notes that spirit has been diverted and perverted, unlike Mr. DesBois’ plain, lucid lyrics. I likewise enjoyed the clarity of Ms. DesBois’ essay on orthomolecular medicine. Although I was interested in listening to Mr. Clapton’s music and interview; I appreciate Mr. DesBois’ song more, more even than the songs of “The Western Star”, though I found parts of “Mary’s Lullaby” on the edge of a deeper significance. I think one can be impressed with Mr. DesBois’ epic attempt, even if one lodges it near Mr. Brown’s, Ms. Cameron’s, Mr. Glayshur’s, Ms. Hall’s, Mr. Sale’s, Mr. Turner’s, et. al.
As an aside, despite all of their flaws, my favourite American epic remains that by Joel Barlow—“The Columbiad”, with John Milton’s “Paradise Lost”, still holding as the best epic in English. It is their heroic undertakings that most impress me, and, then, the magnificent artistry of the latter. Is it any wonder that the author of “The Prelude” wrote:
“Milton! thou should’st be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart:
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea,
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life’s common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.”
BDW, thank you for your kind comments. I’m glad you appreciated “Waking Up,” and “The Western Star,” too.
I’ve never read Barlow, and only a small bit of Milton. Thank you for mentioning them; I look forward to reading them. My primary inspiration for “The Western Star” was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (especially his “Tales of a Wayside Inn”), and to a lesser extent the Fagles translations of Homer.

Only 18 minutes long. Watch it.
COVID cases are plummeting in India thanks to new rules that promote Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to its massive population. The 33 districts in Uttar Pradesh, India have now become free from COVID-19 government informed on Friday. The recovery rate has increased up to 98.7% proving the effectiveness of IVERMECTIN as part of the “Uttar Pradesh Covid Control Model.”
This state has an estimated population of 241 million people in 2021 and has the highest population in India. This is almost two-thirds of the United States population in 2021 and yet it is now a COVID-19 free nation.
Hindustan Times reported on this big development:
Overall, the state has a total of 199 active cases, while the positivity rate came down to less than 0.01 per cent. The recovery rate, meanwhile, has improved to 98.7 per cent. As per the state’s health bulletin, Uttar Pradesh reported only 11 new Covid-19 cases and zero deaths in the last 24 hours.
Last August, the government of UP issued a notification to have Ivermectin (12 mg) tablets. The Dialogue reported:
“The government notification reads, “Doctors are advising to take ivermectin 12 mg to contain the impact of pandemic. This medicine is quite effective in protecting from covid-19. Therefore, we appeal each and every citizen to have this tablet.”
The notification then goes on to explain the dosage: For positive patients isolated at home (one tablet per day for three days and for primary and secondary contacts (one tablet each on the first and 7th day).”
Both Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have seen an incredible drop in COVID-19 cases because they use Ivermectin early and preventatively. Whereas Kerala, a tiny state located in southern India that is over-dependent on vaccines and less dependent on Ivermectin, has been reporting a significant increase in COVID-19 cases. Keep in mind that Uttar Pradesh has eight times larger population than Kerala.
More information on Kerala’s COVID- 19 cases on The Desert Review:
“While Kerala included Ivermectin in their state’s guideline in April, they restricted it’s use to only in Class B – severe cases or those with associated disease, making its use much less than if mild cases were allowed. This meant it was reserved as a late treatment if used at all.
Finally, Kerala abandoned Ivermectin use altogether on August 5, 2021.
Juan Chamie, the Cambridge-based data analyst who has provided graphical insight and published on COVID, provided his answer to why Kerala’s COVID cases have spun out of control.
“My main current explanation is the lack of early treatment. Kerala’s COVID protocol from April 2021 included Ivermectin, but not as an early treatment. As a result, only a small group qualified, those in Category B patients having high-risk factors. The new protocol from August 5 is even worse. They removed Ivermectin (completely).”
Despite a widespread attempt by the media and WHO to convince the world that India has dropped Ivermectin by citing the DGHS, the ICMR and AIIMS have not changed their position, and Ivermectin remains in the India National Protocol.”
Of course, the WHO, pharmaceutical companies, fake news media, and Fauci are not happy with this big development. New York Times will have a meltdown with this news.
