No surprise: World governments are using pandemic as excuse to behave like autocrats

From Bloomberg Quint: “Many governments are using the Covid-19 pandemic as cover to silence dissent, free press and disrupt elections, resulting in an erosion of democracy and human rights, according to a new report by U.S.-based Freedom House. Since the outbreak began earlier this year, the situation has worsened in 80 countries, with a “particularly acute” decline in struggling democracies and highly repressive states, the report showed. At least 91 of the 192 nations cited in the report, or 47%, have “experienced restrictions on the news media as part of the response to the coronavirus outbreak,” it said.”

Oklahoma gov. Stitt announces the creation of the ‘Oklahoma Pandemic Center’

This guy is such a fraud. Just like a politician, he uses nice-sounding vague phrases to describe this new monstrosity. He makes all the right noises to secure conservative votes, but his actions are what we should be judging. $25 million out of the CARES Act will create this frankenstein monster of the pandemic-industrial complex. This is the perfect example of “never let a crisis go to waste”. There will be mission creep. This boondoggle will do nothing but spread panic every time more than 10 people run a fever. This will be a surveillance hub, snooping on the lives of an allegedly free people with all the latest surveillance tech provided by the various megacorps that have thrived over the past seven months. They’ll sink their claws into schools, and try their very best to keep virus fear elevated in the public mind.

Think Fauci is bad? This center will be a hive of Faucis. They’ll be on TV, social media, the newspaper, in schools, colleges, and among the hellscape of corporate workplaces.

This is insane. Stitt should know better. He does know better. He’s doing it anyway.

Florida teen arrested at school for refusing to wear a mask

Deranged thugs arrest 16-year old for refusing to put mask back on. He has a previous medical history that includes anxiety attacks, and anyone with a functioning sense of compassion and empathy would realize that this isn’t the time for cops or arrests.

A note: the police are the ones enforcing these cruel authoritarian decrees. What do the cop-worshipers think about such incidents? They’ve always blindly defended every police action, so will they continue in their belief that police can do no wrong once the cops really begin enforcing COVID-ism? What will they think when one of these short-tempered cops deals out real violence on a minor for refusing to wear a mask? Police are the agents of the State. Their job depends on enforcing the decrees of the State. They won’t risk their career for your Constitutional rights. It’s important to realize this sooner rather than later.

Idaho high school football game called at halftime because Ammon Bundy refused to wear a mask…IN THE PARKING LOT

Bundy wanted to watch his son play football without a mask, like a normal, non-hysterical person. Since the school had no mask policy, he was free to do so. But COVID Derangement Syndrome had entrenched itself deep into the psyches of the football officials, so they would not allow him to watch from the stands without a mask. Bundy retreated to the parking lot, where he could still watch the game in peace. This apparently so enraged the officials that they called the game at halftime, all over a maskless Bundy way out in the parking lot. 

What is happening to people? Are there really just millions of crypto-drones walking around, awaiting the moment to be programmed by some bizarre cult-like belief system? And once programmed, how far would they be willing to go to impose and enforce their beliefs onto others?

Where are the anti-lockdown punk rockers?

Shouldn’t this sudden-onset authoritarianism spawn a new generation of punk rock musicians? Where the heck are they? Where is this generation’s “no future” punk aggression? Has Trump Derangement Syndrome really neutered everyone, bringing them within the fold of Lockdown-ism? Millionaire musicians and actors are uniformly pro-Biden, pro-lockdown, pro-total state. The entire media, medical, and regulatory establishment is speaking with one voice, promoting a single Orthodoxy that is currently destroying millions of lives around the world. This should piss off at least a few artists and musicians enough to channel their aggression into music, with a raging middle finger given to the entire Political Class that is currently planning their tightly-controlled future for them. Where is this attitude, this anti-Establishment spirit? Have they really all become anti-Trump drones?

Pandemic theater is used to instill fear

Check out the getup on this Nashville city council member at a public meeting:

 

This is despicable fearmongering, not genuine concern about her safety. She was pictured previously out on the town without any mask at all:

These people have no shame, and will do anything to maintain power.
