The Lie That Was COVID

 

Robert Zimmerman blogs at BehindTheBlack.  Yesterday, he posted “The Lie That Was COVID” (h/t Instapundit), and he highlights the government's perpetually moving goal posts. Since there was a “share” option and it's short, I am posting the entire thing:

The lie that was COVID

This humor story at the Babylon Bee on February 8th is sadly 100% accurate and illustrates the utter lie that is at the foundation of everything we have been told about COVID-19:

Nation Prepares To Celebrate 1st Anniversary Of Two Weeks To Flatten The Curve

“This time of year we like to come together to remember the historic day one year ago when we put on masks and locked ourselves down, trusting that the lockdown would be over in just two weeks,” said local man Paul Christof as he stared out his window longingly, his three masks securely in place. “This year, I’m going all out with a Zoom party with no more than five of my closest friends — I mean, closest, figuratively speaking, of course. We’ll be literally far apart, because I want to stay home and stay safe, and I don’t want grandma to die.”

From day one, nothing we have been told by government health officials has been reliable or trustworthy. First we were only to lock-down for two weeks in order to slow the spread of the virus slightly so that hospitals would not be overwhelmed. We were also told that we shouldn’t wear masks, because a century of research clearly showed them useless and possibly counter-productive if used improperly, and proper use was unlikely if used all the time.

Then we were told we needed to lockdown for months, because we wanted to stop the spread, a goal that was utterly impossible to meet. At that same time, suddenly health officials decided that the previous half century of research about masks was all wrong, and that we must wear them all the time.

These new rules were only going to be necessary until a vaccine was available.

Now, a year later, a vaccine is suddenly not enough to allow us to be free humans again. We must wear masks, with two masks being even better, and normal activities such as attending parties, sports events, shows, and concerts must still be forbidden.

Along the way, a lot of evidence raised legitimate questions about the way coronavirus deaths and cases were tracked, with much of it suggesting the numbers were being manipulated for political purposes.

The result today is that a very very large percentage of the population no longer trusts anything said by these health officials. And for good reason. They have lied, repeatedly, and liars should never be trusted, ever.

Not that it makes much different. These liars are firmly ensconced in power, and can say and do anything, including fines and punishments for not obeying their commands.

America is no longer a nation dedicated to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” It is now a place of lies, edicts, petty dictators, blacklists, and increasing oppression. All largely prompted by an irrational over-reaction to a virus that is really nothing more than a variation of the flu.

Our household is split; one will get the vaccine, the other won’t.  And Mr. Zimmerman’s blog is here.

Economic patriotism = pushback

 

Florida postcard via Sundance

Conservative Treehouse's Sundance has another important posting, “Citing a Need for COVID Compliance JoeBama Administration Weighs U.S. Travel Restrictions on Florida” – i.e., just another excuse for shredding our constitutional rights.  He begins

The vast majority of the Florida economy is essentially open and not impacted by the COVID-19 virus and state mitigation efforts.  Factually visitors to Florida are stunned at the seemingly little impact the COVID scamdemic is having on the state.  Everyone is going about their business as normal enjoying freedom, and there is no undue chaos or concern.

The common sense within Florida, the lack of actual economic damage and the absence of panic amid the citizenry, is adverse to the interests of those who have weaponized the fear of COVID to attain power and control over compliant citizens.  Governor Ron DeSantis is considered a rebellious troublemaker who must be dealt with by JoeBama’s Federal agencies and authorities.

But Sundance gets down to what we Americans can do to push back against not only the scamdemic but also against the fraudulent election coup that aims to take away our remaining freedoms:

Do not feed the system that is designed to destroy you.  Move your money away from big massive banking institutions and put it into local banks and credit unions.  Spend your income in smaller businesses on Main Street.  Do not shop at multinational corporations.

We are going to have to get out of convenience mode, or we will ultimately destroy ourselves. Do not use Amazon or related convenience systems for purchases.  Do as much local purchasing as possible.  Buy made in America products; it is an investment in our own economy.   Economic patriotism is how we defeat globalist economic expansion.

Defeating the “Great Reset” is a choice each individual has to make.

Orwellian developments: Big Government tentacles

Sundance at Conservative Treehouse has more bad news, this time on emerging restrictions and regulations on domestic air travel – and more . . .

Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg (aka Alfred E Newman), made a rather stunning statement during an Axios interview today.

When discussing domestic travel and transportation as it related to COVID-19, the transportation secretary said: “there is an active conversation within the CDC now” about requiring COVID tests prior to air travel inside the United States.

This ridiculous position was unfortunately one of the issues CTH predicted might happen.

COVID is not a virus inasmuch as it is an opportunity to achieve social-change goals advocated by the far-left.  Remember, one key element within the Green New Deal was to ban airplanes altogether.

The kindergarten class of tree-shouting, algae-cake-eating, everything must be sustainable and stupid, i.e., leftist moonbats, are the ones offering actual policy suggestions.

Much more scary stuff at the link here.

Election hack

 

Bookworm Room (a/k/a Andrea Widburg) has a posting on what computer experts did or did not know about the hacking of the 2020 election.  The article is here.  Reader Pat posted this comment:

Perhaps there was manipulation of vote totals by hackers and there were observed odd changes to vote totals being displayed by networks on election eve. I recall Bookworm Room blogged on this. However, I think most of the manipulation was done using fake mail-in ballots in the early hours of November 4th. We have the sworn affidavit of a USPS contractor who shipped as many as 288,000 completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. The FBI interviewed the contractor but treated him as the suspect. We have video of poll workers in Georgia pulling boxes of ballots out of hiding and counting them, sometimes multiple times, without any observers present. GWP obtained video of two van loads of ballot boxes being unloaded at the TCF center in Detroit. We have witnesses who saw piles of mail-in ballots that showed no signs that they were folded and, in some cases, with a vote for Biden and no one else. Another witness saw piles in exact serial number order, a statistical impossibility. In the battleground states, counting was paused late on election night, when Trump was leading, and then we saw dumps of hundreds of thousands of votes that overwhelmingly favored Biden. If these were genuine mail-in ballots, the distribution should have matched the earlier patterns - a Trump lead. Seems to me that the counting pauses were required so the Dems could figure out how many ballots they needed to give Biden a plausible win.

Audits should focus on the ballots themselves, assuming they haven't been illegally shredded.

It is appalling that all this is still not resolved.

My Pillow guy Mike Lindell: Absolute Proof

 

image credit: The Right Scoop

Mike Lindell has put together a documentary about the massive election fraud in the 2020 election.  Title:  Absolute Proof.  He’s produced it on his own dime and paid for airtime on One America News (OAN) over this weekend.  You can access the broadcast schedule here.  (Note: OAN runs a complete disclaimer prior to the program;  Dominion has been suing anyone pushing these, ahem, "conspiracy theories" of voter fraud, and OAN is obviously protecting itself from legal attacks.  YouTube has already taken down the documentary.  But OAN is running it multiple times this weekend.)  Or you can click here for The Right Scoop blog report with some video.

I found the documentary a bit slow-going, and if you’ve been following the endless videos, sworn testimonies, anomalies, etc., you will already know much of the evidence of fraud.  But if you have not followed it, it is a good resource. 

Our household doesn’t need more sheets and pillows, but we bought some anyway from My Pillow.  Thank you, Mike Lindell!

Rush Limbaugh’s message to President Donald Trump

Via Conservative Treehouse (and have a hanky at hand):

My days on earth are numbered; But before I fade away, there is something important I need to say. It may not be important to anyone else; but it’s important to me. Win, lose or fraud President Trump, I just want to say thank you for the last four years.

Thank you for making it cool to be an American again. Thank you for showing us that we don’t need to be under China’s thumb anymore economically, or any other way. Thank you for one of the strongest economies we’ve ever experienced in my lifetime.

Thank you for all you have done for the minority communities, and the outstanding decrease in the unemployment rate you had. Thank you for making it feel good to love our country and to be a proud patriot again.”

Thank you for supporting our Nation’s flag and the men and women who fought for the freedom that stands behind that flag. Thank you for supporting our nation’s law enforcement organizations, and understanding how difficult their job really is.

Thank you for quelling the flood of illegal immigration, and bringing to justice the thousands of criminals that flood brought us. Thank you for giving corporations a reason to come back to America to make our own products and put Americans back to work.

Thank you for bringing our troops home from endless deployments that presented us with little more than body bags; and for your commitment to strengthen our military.

Thank you for operation warp speed and keeping your promise to bringing the Covid 19 vaccine to us in less than a year. Thank you for your never-ending attempts at bringing peace to the Middle East and your support for Israel.

Thank you for your Tax relief, and thank you for our energy independence. Most of all though…

THANK YOU for taking a damn rotten job that you never had to take!! Thank you for caring enough for this country to want to try and make a difference.

Thank you for showing America how little Career Politicians actually work for their constituents; for showing us how much those politicians despise you for showing America how easy it is to build a great nation, rather than rape her to line their own pockets and stock portfolios.

Thank you for allowing us to experience a President that wasn’t a lifelong politician, but a lifelong American. THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT… YOU DID YOUR BEST…”

Wow.  And thank you, El Rushbo.

Super Bowl Sunday: to watch or not to watch

 

P.F. Whalen at GenZConservative has some thoughts about Super Bowl Sunday.  He concludes:

This Sunday, there will undoubtedly be millions of fans who tune-in to watch the Super Bowl. They will check the printouts of their office pools every time a team scores, hoping that the current score will pay off with a nice chunk of change and bragging rights. They’ll pay closer attention than normal during breaks in the broadcast for fear of missing a clever Budweiser or Doritos commercial. And at halftime, some will enjoy the show more than the game while others take a moment to socialize.

But there will be less of such folks; much less. Ratings for the NFL have been plummeting since 2017, including Super Bowls. The Thursday Night game during week four of this past season saw ratings drop a whopping 70% compared to last year, and ratings for both the divisional and wildcard rounds of playoffs were down double-digits for every game. Compare those numbers to 2017, and the drops are even more significant.

Less Americans are tuning in to the NFL, and that trend is sure to continue. And you should consider being one of those viewers who change the channel this year. The NFL doesn’t care about you, and they don’t care about our nation. They’ve got an agenda that aligns with the most radical leftists in our country, and that is their top priority. There are plenty of other shows to watch or things to do this Sunday that won’t result in you rewarding leftist radicals with your loyalty and financial support. It might seem impossible to imagine watching anything but the Super Bowl, but it’s not that difficult; and it’s the right thing to do.

Mr. Whalen’s full article is here.  At our house, we’ll be grilling gala burgers, with or without football.
