| Protests against lockdowns: here they come |
(To read about Jon's mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.) |
"The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion." -- Edmund Burke, 1784.
The
Chinese regime broke the ice by imprisoning 50 million people at the
start of Operation Fake Pandemic. It sent a signal to the fascist CDC
and World Health Organization that they could command huge imprisonments
in other countries.
Well now, in America, a different kind of
ice is being broken. ---The resistance against the imprisonment,
against the economic devastation, against the loss of freedom.
The
governors of American states are behaving like the governors of the
original colonies, taking their orders from a foreign power. In this
case, the power is the CDC, the World Health Organization, and by
extension, the United Nations, of which the WHO is a branch.
Yes, a bloodless coup has already occurred.
The
UN, in particular, has stated in a thousand different ways that it
wants the US, and every nation, to bow to a world authority. The
current strategy is medical. If climate change didn't do the trick, try
another angle.
"This will teach the Americans a lesson."
Americans may have their own lesson to teach.
The last time I looked, Bill Gates hadn't bought off the whole country yet.
The Telegraph, UK, April 16: "Release us!' Anti-lockdown protests break out across America, with some featuring flags and guns"
"Four states see protests with more to come as critics target governors and demand their constitutional rights"
"In
Kentucky the protesters chanted 'we want to work' and 'facts over
fear'. In Michigan some carried rifles with their US flags as the snow
fell."
"There were Trump caps visible among the crowds gathered
in Ohio, while in North Carolina a woman led away by the police shouted
'God Bless America'."
"Right across the United States, a country
now in its second month of tight restrictions to stem the spread of
Covid-19, small but vocal protests have begun to spring up."
"These
anti-quarantine gatherings, emerging amid unprecedented surges in
unemployment, are happening at state capitals and often targeted at
governors."
"The common thread is a demand for orders keeping
people at home and businesses shut to be loosened, thereby helping a US
economy choked off by the lockdowns."
"Many of the signs and
shouts accuse the state governments of overreach - a clue, perhaps, as
to why such protests are being seen in America but not yet in Britain."
"Suspicion
of big government is deeply rooted in a country born from revolution
and a point of pride on the Right, where many of the protests appear to
be emanating from."
"It may also reflect frustration voiced by
Donald Trump, who has made no secret of his desire to lift restrictions
and at times bemoaned scientific advisers pushing social distancing
rules."
"On Wednesday the US president was set to share with
governors his administration's guidance on how to open back up society
after the 'Great Lockdown'."
"In recent days Mr Trump has stuck
an upbeat tone, talking of 'light at the end of the tunnel' and saying
on Wednesday that America had passed its peak of Covid-19 cases."
"One
of the biggest protests occurred in Michigan, whose governor Gretchen
Whitmer is a rising star in the Democratic Party and has clashed with Mr
Trump in recent weeks."
"Thousands of people descended on the
Michigan Capitol in Lansing on Wednesday, many sitting in cars and
honking horns in what was dubbed 'Operation Gridlock'."
"One
poster read 'hands off our citizens!!!'. Another declared 'I prefer
dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery'. A third just had two words
written: 'Release us!'"
"Some of those present said Ms Whitmer's
stay-at-home order was too restrictive, stifling the economy and
unfairly undermining personal liberty."
"[A] woman who spent
some of the protest waving the stars and stripes from the back of a
pick-up truck had been impacted by job losses."
"'Our community
is struggling. My husband is on unemployment [benefits] for the first
time in our life,' she said. 'We want to go back to work'."
"Michigan
has been one of the US states hardest hit by the financial deep-freeze
caused by the coronavirus pandemic, with a quarter of the workforce
filing for unemployment."
"Right across America record job
losses are being recorded. On Thursday it was announced 5.2 million
people filed for unemployment benefits last week."
"That takes
the four-week total up to 22 million, or around one in eight people
working a month ago. It is unlike anything seen since the Great
Depression in the 1930s."
"In Kentucky, another Democratic
governor, Andy Beshear, was the target of criticism as around 100
protesters voiced their disapproval at the state Capitol in Frankfort."
"They
chanted 'open up Kentucky' and 'you're not a king, we won't kiss your
ring', sometimes through megaphones, as the governor tried to brief the
press on the outbreak..."
---For one of their International Youth
days, the United Nations cooked up the slogan, "Change Our World."
Through their World Health Organization, they're trying all right. But
the phrase is so weak. Maybe I can help them out.
---Workers of
the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains. Remember
that one? Doesn't really gain traction when the first step is firing
all the workers from their jobs. How about one people, one country, one
leader, Hitler's contribution. No thanks. There's always Stalin's
gem: a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic. No,
let's leave Joe and Mao and Adolf in the dustbin of lunatics. So what
else?
I like the simple: LIBERTY.
It ripples. It has waves. Far reaching implications.
Those
protestors in Michigan and Kentucky and Ohio and North Carolina.
They're peculiar. They're not behaving like robots wearing medical
masks. They're acting like... live humans. Humans who are free. |
