Never Forget What Kind Of Ghouls These Tyrants Are

Two articles yesterday at two different sites had the same theme.  That theme was that the Covid panic and the forced masking of Americans is a socialist aattempt to destroy America.  One article, by Scott Morefield at Townhall.com and entitled The Battle Against Corona Fascism Could Be The Existential Fight Of Our Generation. Morefield's article is a polemic calling for Americans to rebel against the masking mandates. The other article by Anthony J. Ciani at the American Thinker and entitled A Pandemic Of Socialism is more informational.

 But both should be read. Let's look first at A Pandemic Of Socialism. 

The Constitution of the United States provides for no limitation of our liberty, freedom, or democracy in an emergency. Is this because our Founding Fathers had never heard of the Black Death (1347, multiple) or the Great Plague of Marseille (1720) or the Yellow Fever from the Caribbean (1793) or smallpox (vaccine 1770)? Why, then, did they limit powers in the face of such great calamities?

Absent such powers, the federal government cannot take advantage of panic, real or contrived, to tyrannize the states or the people, and with the 9th and 14th Amendments, neither can the states (or cities) tyrannize their people. The protections of our Constitution have been eroded over the last century by a crisis culture that has people abandoning liberty for (illusory) safety...

But without that "Crisis Constitution," how can government keep us safe from disease? There is no scientific study demonstrating that liberty and freedom are required to spread disease, although there are works of assumptions masquerading as such. To the contrary, a 2001 study published by George Washington University and Johns Hopkins University recommends against large-scale quarantine, isolation, and other liberty-infringing actions in favor of informed individual action. One finding is particularly interesting:

During the past century in the United States, professional medical and public health familiarity with the practice of quarantine has faded. A review of the medical literature found no largescale human quarantine implemented within US borders during the past 8 decades.

Huh. So, we have tried this before and it hasm't worked? When was that? Well, it turns out it was the Spanish Flu of 1918. Quarantines and isolation didn't work. Neither did masks. Indeed, masks are credited with making the flu worse by causing the flu, which was apparently fairly mild, to be followed by bacterial pneumonia. And it was the pneumonia that actually killed more people. Yet here we are doing the same things. Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

The quarantine, isolation, and mask-wearing failed to diminish the spread of the influenza. Instead, the practices likely increased fatality and had disastrous economic consequences. The medical policy of 1918 was contrary to the medical science of 1918, and the destructive practices of quarantine, isolation, and mask-wearing were largely abandoned. The United States embraced socialism in the first half of the 20th century, and the pain sent us running back to freedom and liberty in the 1950s and 1960s, until 100 years later, when socialists once again abandoned medical science in favor of panic and socialist policy.

But now the socialists think they have enough people proopaganized such that they can try again to impose socialism on our nation. Therefore it is time to trot out the old socialist ideas. Thus, we need to do what Scott Morefield writes about: wage the existential fight of our generation.

Morefield takes the reader on a trip through a list of those people who have been harmed or killed by the enforced isolation and mask wearing. This includes small business that have been shut down, or have been forced to cut the number of people served such that they have to close down. Children have been kept out of schools and have been kept from their friends. Those who have been working for years at athletic pursuits have had their seasons wiped out. And of course, the standard events we all enjoyed such as senior proms and graduation ceremonies have been curtailed or cancelled. Children will never get these back. And then there are thousands of musicians and other performers who have been denied a living.

And then there are the churches that have been prevented from serving their congregations.  As with other Constitutionally protected rights, there is no allowance for an emergency to curtail the worship of our God.

There is no scientific basis for quarantining the healthy, for shutting down businesses, for forcing the masking of of everyone.  Did you know they even demand that children over two years old wear a mask?  Anyone remember what a three year old is like?  They won't even wear a hat unless someone keeps on them.  In fact, the quarantines, the social distancing, the masking, is designed to get Americans used to obeying nonsensical orders from so called "authorities."

Morefield's solution?  Resist.

Never, ever forget what kind of ghouls these tyrants are. Denying free human beings the ability to earn a living in their chosen profession is and always will be evil. Quarantining and imposing restrictions on the healthy is and always will be morally wrong. Preventing the sick from being allowed to try a drug that could help them based on politics alone is sick to the core. These things should be resisted by freedom-loving people with every ounce of our being.
