The Official Narratives of the New Authoritarians

What do the mainstream media, Burn-Loot-Murder (BLM), the Covid lockdowns, and the Transgender mob all have in common?  The people behind them have realized that all they need to do is establish a narrative and then get their allies to astroturf the impression that “everyone” agrees with the narrative.

There are some excellent examples discussed here and here.

Given that all such narratives are definitionally dishonest, how can anyone seeking the truth possibly compete?

Open letter to AB Premier Jason Kenney

Dennis L. Modry BSc, MD, MSc, FRCS, FACCP, FACS is the Clinical Associate Professor, Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University of Alberta. He is also the Founder and Director of the Heart, Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program and was the Director of the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (1984 – 2015). He recently sent a letter to Alberta Premier Kenney:

The evidence that you provided for this lockdown is both suspect and incomplete and does a disservice to Albertans who deserve more from you. A major tenet of the Hippocratic Oath that physicians like myself ascribe to is “First Do No Harm”, which is ignored by this imposed lockdown.

I acknowledge with reverence those Albertans who have passed on from COVID-19, just as I acknowledge many others like Jerry Dunham who have died because lockdowns prevented their access to healthcare for very serious non-COVID-19 illnesses and conditions. I acknowledge the many with despair who have died from suicide and drug overdose. We now know that lockdowns are more lethal than COVID-19, and must learn from what has transpired to ensure we do not continue to make the same mistakes. Were you not informed of these facts, or did you simply ignore them?

If you’re not alarmed by what’s happening, then you’re asleep or you’ve been medicated

In their podcast today, lawyer Mark Geragos and pundit Adam Carolla, discussed the insanity that has been occurring in California throughout 2020.

[This] is a tipping point for the Constitution. I know people think, “Oh, what are you talking about?” We have jumped the shark constitutionally here. If you’re not alarmed by what’s happening, then you’re asleep or you’ve been medicated because there is something fundamentally wrong here. If you don’t think that this is a blueprint for shutting you down with others in the future then you’re crazy. This is how tyranny starts. You can laugh and say “Oh outdoor dining tyranny”. No, you morons, it’s the idea of basically declaring martial law and using a pretext. This has been going for 9 months, going on for a year. Enough already. This is nonsense. Not in America, it doesn’t happen. — Mark Geragos

Only if you live in California, please sign the petition to recall Gavin Newsom.

The Democrats’ Hidden Agenda for Destroying America

When most of the media hide all of the “bad stuff” in your plans, it makes life a lot easier:

In a recording leaked to The Intercept, former Vice President Biden appeared to blame the “defund the police” movement for the Democrats’ shellacking down-ballot in the 2020 elections, and urged liberal civil rights leaders not to put public pressure on his incoming administration regarding police reform until after the Georgia Senate runoff elections in January.

“I also don’t think we should get too far ahead ourselves on dealing with police reform in that, because they’ve already labeled us as being ‘defund the police’ anything we put forward in terms of the organizational structure to change policing — which I promise you, will occur. Promise you.” Biden can be heard telling left-wing civil rights leaders in the recording. “Just think to yourself and give me advice whether we should do that before January 5, because that’s how they beat the living hell out of us across the country… I just raise it with you to think about. How much do we push between now and January 5, we need those two seats, about police reform? But I guarantee you there will be a full-blown commission. I guarantee you it’s a major, major, major element…we can go very far.”

As is common with the warped Leftist brain, actual evidence of disastrous policies has no effect on their thinking.

California Sheeple Are Finally Rising Up!

After many months of oppression by their government “officials”, Californians have finally realized what lying, greedy, selfish, incompetent, loathsome, hypocritical individuals these government employees clearly are:

Definite language warning but it’s well worth a listen. Incidentally, here’s Dr. Mark Ghaly, referenced by Mark Geragos in this clip. The Dear Doctor essentially admitted that he and his department “strayed from the truth” in order to prevent all of the restaurants in California from keeping their outdoor dining operating. Here’s some of Ghaly’s fear porn at work.

Update: Listen to Dr. Mark Ghaly’s own words, as he full admits that the public was lied to in order to “keep people staying home”.

Where did these endless lockdowns come from?

Against the advice of the W.H.O., a series of politicians have been imposing endless lockdowns on “their” populations.  Such pseudo-incarcerations are always deemed to be “based on data & science” but, in fact, they’re not.  Rather, they’re arbitrary, highly political, and are clearly destroying the livelihoods of large numbers of private sector workers.

How did this all get started?  The idea of lockdowns and social distancing came about from the 2004 science project of a 14 year old girl in Albuquerque named Laura Glass, daughter of Robert J. Glass, a senior scientist at Sandia National Laboratories.  Together, father & daughter and two others published Targeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza in 2006.  This was then championed in federal government circles in 2006-2007 by Dr. Carl Mecher, a Department of Veterans Affairs physician and by February 2007 this approach became official U.S. policy.

While the science behind this paper is arguably sound, it does not take into account the human cost of never-ending lockdowns.  The furthest they go is as follows:

Implementation of social distancing strategies is challenging. They likely must be imposed for the duration of the local epidemic and possibly until a strain-specific vaccine is developed and distributed. If compliance with the strategy is high over this period, an epidemic within a community can be averted. However, if neighboring communities do not also use these interventions, infected neighbors will continue to introduce influenza and prolong the local epidemic, albeit at a depressed level more easily accommodated by healthcare systems.

Even Dr. Mecher had some reservations about applying the lockdown and social distancing policy this year:

Dr. Mecher was a key voice on the “Red Dawn” email chain of public health experts in raising early warnings this year about the coronavirus outbreak and Mr. Trump’s reluctance to embrace shutdowns and social distancing. The shutdown this year is much bigger than Dr. Mecher and others imagined would be necessary or practical. Testing has been limited and some states issued social distancing orders even before confirming the coronavirus was spreading within their borders.

Dr. Markel called it “very gratifying to see our work used to help save lives.” But, he added, “it is also horrifying.”

“We always knew this would be applied in worst-case scenarios,” he said. “Even when you are working on dystopian concepts, you always hope it will never be used.”

It’s too bad that most politicians who have imposed lockdowns and social distancing have been oblivious to the grave human and societal costs of this disastrous policy.

Let’s see how “necessary” emotional support animals are, at $125/flight

A long standing scam is about to come to an end:

The Transportation Department issued a final rule Wednesday that aims to settle years of tension between airlines and passengers who bring their pets on board for free by saying they need them for emotional support.

For years, the department required airlines to allow animals with passengers who had a doctor’s note saying they needed the animal for emotional support. Airlines believed passengers abused the rule to bring a menagerie of animals on board including cats, turtles, pigs and in one case, a peacock.

Let’s see how many of these “emotionally challenged” folks are wiling to cough up $125 each way to fly their “necessary support companion”.

America Rising

“When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, ‘Who is destroying the world?’ You are.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Trans Child Abuse Now Outlawed in England & Wales

In a landmark court decision, the High Court of England and Wales has made it much more difficult for medical doctors to violate the Hippocratic Oath that some of them were clearly so willing to do:

Children aged under 16 will need court approval in England and Wales to access puberty blockers after a landmark ruling on Tuesday amid a global debate about the age at which a child can choose to transition gender.

Three High Court judges said it was “highly unlikely” that a child of 13 or under was “competent to give consent” to puberty blockers, and it was “doubtful” that 14- and 15-year olds could “weigh the long-term risks and consequences”.

An interesting discussion on this can be found here.

Restrictions for Thee but not for Me (and my fellow elitists)

The ruling elite in England aren’t even trying to hide their hypocritical rules now:

Senior company executives are among travellers set to be exempt from Covid-19 quarantine restrictions for international arrivals in England, meaning they will not have to self-isolate for up to a fortnight.

Recently signed elite sportspeople, performing arts professionals, TV production staff and journalists will also not have to abide by quarantine restrictions if arriving from a country outside of England’s travel corridor from 4am on Saturday.

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.
