COVID-19 was a test to see how quickly the populace would march in lockstep with the government’s dictates, no questions asked, and how little resistance the citizenry would offer up to the government’s power grabs when made in the name of national security.
Characterized by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch as “the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country,” the government’s COVID-19 response to the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a massively intrusive, coercive and authoritarian assault on the right of individual sovereignty over one’s life, self and private property.
Truly, the government’s (federal and state) handling of the COVID-19 pandemic delivered a knockout blow to our civil liberties, empowering the police state to flex its powers by way of a bevy of lockdowns, mandates, restrictions, contact tracing programs, heightened surveillance, censorship, overcriminalization, etc.
What started off as an experiment in social distancing in order to flatten the curve of an unknown virus (and not overwhelm the nation’s hospitals or expose the most vulnerable to unavoidable loss of life scenarios) quickly became strongly worded suggestions for citizens to voluntarily stay at home and strong-armed house arrest orders with penalties in place for non-compliance.
just mealy mouthed words and bullshit from a corrupt legal system, or what is left of it, if anything.
its truly a lawless land now. anything goes.
“and not overwhelm the nation’s hospitals or expose the most vulnerable to unavoidable loss of life scenarios” should read as follows:
“hospital proved themselves to be Mengele like death camps, where folks went to die from toxic poisons and ventilators” and as for the vulnerable, such as the elderly, they were simply murdered in care homes with midazolam and other end of life drugs…all on compassionate grounds of course. Because they “care”.
In reality they never gave a fuck, and still do not. This is pure evil, predatory and socio-pathological.
