Wagging the Dog

For those old enough to remember, the term “Wag the Dog” came to prominence in 1998 when some alleged that Bill Clinton ordered missiles sent into Afghanistan and Sudan during the middle of his sex scandal.

Something very strange is going on right now in America with a sudden push for escalated lockdowns:

This is just a sampling.  There are many more such examples.

While there does indeed to be something in the DNA of Leftists to control everything and everyone, might there be something else going on at this moment in time?

Could this sudden 24/7 focus on Covid-19 possibly have something to do with this and this and this?  Might the Democrats & Media Leftist Alliance not want the news coming out of these hearings to reach the American people?  Asking for all of my American friends who believe in democracy, fairness, and the notion of right & wrong.

  1. You are correct, Robert. They are, in effect, showing us their power. The majority of the population of the U.S., including a record number of ethnic minorities who broke rank, rejected the elites. We rejected the entertainment industry, the mainstream media, the “wisdom” of academia, and the Swamp of bureaucrats in Washington. We voted for Trump in record numbers. We knew that Trump and his administration stood in the way of this bleak, gray, awful life under overloads who keep all the goodies for themselves. But they are showing us their power. With smiling faces and smooth word salads, they are robbing us of freedom. They are robbing us of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They are denying us the ability to travel, to gather, to enjoy live concerts and live sports in big or small venues, to dine out, to enjoy pubs and bars. Soon they will start denying us the foods and drinks we enjoy. And it won’t end. Our safe suburban neighborhoods are going to be forever altered. Our camping and hunting and recreation and sports are going to be denied us forever.
    We won’t get back the pre-Covid times. Those are gone with the wind. Voting is meaningless. They know that we know what they did. They know that we know they cheated. But it doesn’t matter. They have the power. And they will never give it up. They no longer have to pretend to govern according to the will of the people, not when they can just order an extra 100 000 “votes” in the middle of the night to disenfranchise our votes in key districts. Soon even the smiling and “kind” and “benevolent” front they keep presenting will be gone as well. They won’t even need to pretend anymore.
    The French Revolution got rid of a king but ended up with the Emperor Napoleon. And Robespierre, the despot who governed before Napoleon, was worse than the aristocrats he replaced. The whip just changed hands.
    America gave us common folk middle class people a few good centuries. But it’s over. The aristocrats are letting us know we are back where they always want us: lower class, under their heel, producing things for them, inferior and cringing, doing their will, and no longer free.
    It’s sickening.

    1. Spot on Ann. We’ve given them license to lie to us and we still vote them into power while grumbling about corrupt politicians.
      We must be within a class structure, so statists can determine our preferences for us, which is yes, bleak, gray and awful.
      But not for the parasitic elites. Their business couldn’t be better. Just ask Soros about his his installed Biden cabinet.
      Twitter, Walmart, the stock market; things couldn’t be better. The identity ideologues are installed everywhere, cashing in.
      Done by telling us to shut our deplorable mouths. Instead of asserting our primacy, we cowered, hoping they’d let up.
      Now Biden has his first 100 days mask mandate. No they won’t. Dems reflating the Iran “treaty” will prove China now rules.
      So we’ll play the game by their rules, complete with gulags and firing squads. After all that’s how Muslims are treated in USA.
      Imo we’ll have to take a serious economic and therefore liberty beatdown before we throw out the progressive regressives.

  2. It’s all Psyops. Until Uncle Gropey opens his mouth and lets the occasional truth slip out: “I’ll get sick and resign; greatest voter fraud machine ever created; President Harris.” You get the drift. Trust NO ONE.

    1. Famous quote attributed to both Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain.
      “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

      Strangely though, it seems to me that a lot of people are literally hungry to hear the lies and also to believe in them.
      I’ve never seen or read anything like it before.

      1. Related:
        It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. (Mark Twain…possibly)

    2. The Media and Government are quick to quote the number of deaths from “Covid”. How many of the total were in Care Facilities, what age, and most interestingly of all how many were on a DNR (Do not resuscitate) list. I do not trust the testing regime, I do not trust the cause of death lists. We are in very dangerous waters.

      1. It is my understanding that the number of “uncomplicated” deaths, wherein an otherwise healthy person catches the Kung Flu and dies of it, is very small indeed.

        It is my understanding that the number of people treated with hydroxychloroquine, zinc and a decent antibiotic, even with complicating conditions, is very small indeed.

        How small exactly is a piece of information not available to me right now. Or probably to anyone, given the policy of -all- deaths being Kung Flu these days.

        Be it noted that HCQ/Zinc/Antibiotic is not allowed to be used in Ontario nursing homes.

        I will say that a physician in Florida, who shall remain nameless, is not seeing much in the way of concern about Kung Flu in their practice. Be it noted that Florida is called God’s Waiting Room because of the huge seniors population.

        So, I’m willing to grant that at the beginning, Feb/March, the government and media were at least trying to do the right thing. Mostly. But now? Nope. Now it is an “opportunity.”

        1. Alberta announced the breakdown of deaths attributed to the Wuhan Flu.
          At the time their count was 450 “deaths’ related to COVID.
          All but 10 had multiple co-morbidity’s Most died with COVID not of COVID.
          Yes, only 10 died of COVID and nothing else.

  3. Well if Trump intends to declares martial law and take over due tot he fraud, having everyone locked down already would be convenient. However if the MSM media knew of such a thing about to happen they would immediately tell everyone, the plagues over, ditch the masks and to go outside and play and go to church and shop till they drop.

  4. Doesn’t keeping people at home, mean more TV time(although people won’t hear about the fraud from MSM) ,
    but it would allow them more time on Social Media(except they won’t hear about the fraud from there either) ,
    but they’ll hear about it while on the internet(except google, Microsoft and Apple will try their best to hide it from you there)
    Will people talk about the fraud on the phone,,, not likely.

  5. We are watching how nazis and commies were able to gain control of entire populations. No, I don’t mean that in a hyperbolic sense. Most of us will likely live to see it come to fruition. 1 year ago I wouldn’t have believed it myself, but just look at how the hate and vitriol of the left has grown AFTER they think they have power.

    Gonna be a hard fire to put out in a couple years.

  6. That ballot counting was a joke. It was entirely unscutinized. Having “observers” roped off where they couldn’t see a single ballot being counted should call into question the integrity of this polling station’s vote count, never mind the more obvious question of the suitcases pulled from under the table after hours. Where did these people learn to run elections? Venezuela? Or did they teach Venezuelans first.

    If there is not a chain of custody back to a legal voter of each ballot counted in a recount, then they should have a new election with paper ballots, hand counted and 100% scrutinized.

  7. This afternoon … EVERY Californian’s cell phone … SCREECHED out an EMERGENCY!!! warning siren and message DEMANDING that every Californian cease and desist … living. That we must ALL STAY HOME!!! As of this Sunday. And don’t even THINK of celebrating Christmas with family. Yep … The 21st Century version of 1950’s Nuclear War air raid sirens … telling us to get under a sturdy piece of furniture. Hide in your homes! We are being scolded!

    Yes, this nonsense has jumped a school of sharks. The reason for this? That “CA Hospitals ICU Wards are down to 15% capacity”. What does that mean? That ICU’s are filled to 15% with patients? Or that they are filled to 85% capacity. Really? Who is reporting this? Is EVERY iCU patient a COVID patient? Prove it. Who is auditing the reports of these capacities? Probably the same people who are auditing our voting systems … NOBODY.

    We are entering a dystopian 1984 operated by more vicious totalitarian overlords than Big Brother ever imagined. Gavin Newsom actually believes he is … somebody. Someone “important”. He’s not. And he isn’t using “science” or “data” that isn’t a total fabrication. He scolds we plebes that we are not doing well-enough to prevent COVID spread. Really? Last I checked … you cannot go ANYWHERE in CA without a mask. So masks don’t work?

    This is ALL political theatre … all of it.

  8. The Democrats reply to all this: “ F*** you! We’re Democrats, and we’ll do as we please! “
    If the Supreme Court doesn’t stop this theft, democracy in America is finished, and a new dark age begins.

  9. Americans are now just as stupid as Canadians thinking the government actually represents them. To all you Canadian voters out there other than during the election when is the last time you heard from your MP

    1. We hear regularily from ours by flyer. Our MP’s office is very accesible and helpful. They’ve personally helped us twice in recent years with Fed gov trouble.

  10. All part of the perfect set up.
    They swell,they swagger and they move out into the light.
    Is beautiful to watch.
    Meanwhile the axemen move into position.
    The show must go on.
    We are at the bread and circus stage.
    Best show on TV in decades.

    Now should the Trump show bomb,well all those aggrieved ticket holders might get a little too frisky for the owners to handle.

  11. I moved to Silicon Valley in late August of 1972 to start graduate school at a place that I generally refer to as the university that holds Silicon Valley hostage (hint: its name is an anagram of the sentence “Don farts.”) The phrase Silicon Valley had been used for the first time less than a year before that, and wasn’t in common use. Silicon Valley was real, though, and its primary characteristic was that it had no restrictions. Go off on your own and found a company that produced a faster chip. Leave your employer and produce and sell video games simulating ping-pong. Later on, invent the personal computer. Change its user interface to use a mouse. Move from Illinois and create the first user-friendly web browser. Don’t ever wear a tie. Work strange hours while perhaps not wearing clothes (There is a book entitled “The Nudist On the Late Shift”; there was a very real fellow who worked late hours while not wearing clothes).

    I lived, studied (using the term loosely), and worked there for thirty-four of the next thirty-eight years.

    Now there are published restrictions for Silicon Valley. Yet another reason that I’m glad that I left ten-plus years ago.
