NYC’s latest lockdowns target its Orthodox Jewish communities

Reason:

“A group of Orthodox Jewish men gathered Tuesday evening in Brooklyn,burning masks to protest the newest iteration of New York’s pandemic lockdown. Their anger is reasonable, because the newest lockdown—which disproportionately affects the city’s Jewish community and explicitly targets religious gatherings—is not. It is deeply stupid and unfair, exactly the sort of easily avoidable government overreach that makes even well-intended people doing their best to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 understandably skeptical of public health directives.”

Over 6,000 scientists sign Great Barrington petition, urging an end to lockdowns

Newsweek:

“As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection,” the petition says in its opening line. “Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health.”

The petition adds, “Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”

UK Prime Minister claims England will never return to normal

From his October 6th keynote speech at the Conservative Party Conference:

“I know the people of this country are going to defeat this virus because I have seen how the country has responded before, with the energy and self-sacrifice of the NHS, the care workers, the armed forces – the spirit that was incarnated in the bounding, boundless devotion of captain Tom Moore.

But after all we have been through it isn’t enough just to go back to normal. We have lost too much. We have mourned too many.

We have been through too much frustration and hardship just to settle for the status quo ante – to think that life can go on as it was before the plague; and it will not. Because history teaches us that events of this magnitude – wars, famines, plagues; events that affect the vast bulk of humanity, as this virus has – they do not just come and go.
They are more often than not the trigger for an acceleration of social and economic change, because we human beings will not simply content ourselves with a repair job.

We see these moments as the time to learn and to improve on the world that went before.

That is why this government will build back better.“

World improvers tend to transform into maniacal totalitarians. And it’s crucial to understand that the people who come after those who begin these world-improving projects tend to be far more willing to sacrifice the lives and liberties of the people in their vain pursuit of a better world.

Correctional officer pulls knife on Trump supporters

The irony is that the blindly pro-cop public, many of whom also support Trump, has allowed the existence of the public sector union that will use its influence to ensure that this psycho never faces charges.

 

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.
