At this point I’m completely desensitized to this type of news. So Cuomo runs them off with his half-baked authoritarianism, and they flee to neighboring states only to come face-to-face with another totalitarian nightmare.

Isn’t it amazing how much more destruction can be wrought at the hands of our own leaders than could ever be inflicted by an external threat? 5 months into the madness, and I’m still amazed at the determination of so many members of my own species to mire themselves in the hysteria, apocalypticism, and hyperbolic fear surrounding COVID-19. Many appear to even resent the ever-emerging good news regarding the virus, almost as if they secretly hope the virus will live up to it’s killer reputation. Is this the Freudian ‘death drive’, or something much more primitive? I remain convinced that this persistent mindless hysteria is a submission to our anti-civilization instinct, our prehistoric, hunter-gatherer mind awakening inside far too many of our fellow neighbors and countrymen.
In the same way that our own government inflicted far greater harm in its response to 9/11 than the 9/11 attack itself, the COVID policy response has been orders of magnitude worse than any disease. But so few understand that fact.
We are the progenitors of our own extinction. Not some external threat, us. The COVID mass psychological event of 2020 is the fork in the road between a future of liberty, and the descent into darkness that is so familiar to the human race. These forks pop up from time to time in history, and we almost always take the path to tyranny and re-barbarization. But it’s not inevitable. We can throw off this latest incarnation of the religion of the total State, and reassert an adherence to liberty and personal autonomy. It has become clear that we cannot continue on the same path we’ve followed for the past half century. Corporatism, endless war, the rise of the Expert Class as a new religious Orthodoxy, the punitive Puritanism of the emerging politically correct Orthodoxy, these are all antithetical to the future of a free and flourishing civilization. The Political Class, along with their Praetorian Guard among the credentialed “experts”, must no longer be placed at the helm of public policy. Indeed, “public policy” should be scrapped altogether. We must be allowed to shape our own destiny, free from the designs of those who control government. What we need is a new constitution, articulating a new absolute limit on the power of the politicians and bureaucrats to intervene in our lives. We need a new reassertion of our rights as free citizens, a new Declaration. The intellectual foundations of liberty must be renewed and reasserted.
This is absolutely insane. Masked couple instigates a violent confrontation with a stranger who wasn’t wearing a mask. They then brawl, and the cops show up. Unbelievably, the victim doesn’t press charges.
As the article states, this has nothing whatsoever to do with safety from COVID. This is the cult attempting to enforce conformity. It’s fundamentalist violence, and it’s happening all the time.
People, for the most part, are only aware of aspects of reality that their television reports on. Which translates into: not much at all. And what little news they receive is so distorted through the corporate filter that it could be said to be absolutely meaningless. The TV watchers know that COVID-19 exists, and that they must fear it to the exclusion of all else. But they aren’t aware of the tragically high cost of consenting to the COVID policy response. Unemployment, homelessness, skyrocketing overdose deaths, mass eviction…but also the resurgence of many deadly infectious diseases that authorities had begun to get a handle on.
Deaths from tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV have skyrocketed, as COVID hysteria disrupts supply chains around the world. Drugs and treatments are much more difficult to come by for these infections. Ironically, infections far more dangerous than COVID-19 itself.
But no one cares, because their TV doesn’t tell them to care. And they are willing to allow the destruction of the modern world in a vain effort to quell their fear.
The relentless propaganda is playing the masses like a fiddle. The media has their finger on the emotional dial of the public, and the public, utterly helpless in the face of this masterpiece of emotional manipulation, is unable to break themselves free.
Many will needlessly die because of this.
Around 200 white protestors swarmed around the home of Carmen Best, Seattle’s police chief, and a BLACK WOMAN. This is theater, cosplay, and not anymore even about black lives.
Great editorial in the New York Post: “People do not have the right to riot”
Employment that doesn’t require you to be physically present means that it could be completed from anywhere in the world, by anyone in the world. And how much of it can be automated? As the public is browbeaten into silence over the ethical and scientific wisdom of COVID lockdown policy, it also silences criticism from an economics standpoint. This criticism must be taken into account, but the people for whom staying home is an option refuse to listen. The people that don’t have the luxury of staying at home, who exist somewhere on the bottom half of the economic ladder, are never allowed to voice an opinion about their predicament, even though they are bearing the full-bore brunt of the chaotic lockdowns. These tens of millions have so far been silent, and will continue to be the ones dying on the beach of this economic war.
The question, though, is how much abuse can 50 million of the most vulnerable people of a nation endure before they take the whip away?
