Don’t Be Locked Down Again

Unfortunately a second imposition of lockdowns is closer than we might think.

When two passengers on a luxury cruise ship died from Hantavirus, and another tested positive, mainstream media created a global frenzy. Out came the images of hazmat suits and masks, along with demands for universal contact tracing.

The entire show was designed to elicit memories of fear from six years ago.

A Washington Post columnist said she would gladly lock down again and urge everyone to do the same, except of course for those forced to deliver food to her house.

Moderna’s stock started rising again and why? Because the company is working on a so-called vaccine.

The supposed experts were out in full force, including familiar names and faces such as “scarf lady” Deborah Birx, who appeared in countless interviews as an expert.

The consultants were, too, and so were the bureaucrats. They dusted off their lockdown plans. Seventeen Americans were pushed into a 42-day quarantine merely for having contact even though they tested negative and had no symptoms. They complied but what if a few had not? Interesting to consider.

All the forces have lined up.

Yet we all know there is nothing good that locking down accomplishes. It only wrecks commerce and social functioning.

Incredibly, this lesson still hasn’t stuck. The prevailing verdict on the Covid years: we should lock down sooner and harder for the next viral outbreak. An entire class of elites is just waiting for the opportunity.

A second lockdown is an intolerable threat, a Sword of Damocles that floats above the freedoms we do have. It was only six years ago that they did it with calamitous results. They have every intention of doing it again.

No civilized society can work this way. Freedom cannot work this way.

We are being prepared. The difference this time is that we have some saner people in charge but can they overcome the pressures? That’s not obvious. We also have a larger population of people who will not go along. That is clear from social media.

But will we have the choice? The lockdowners have new weapons in their arsenal like debanking and planned shortages. There will also be the usual humiliation rituals in place for anyone daring to dissent.

Covid was the template. There have been no apologies for a reason: they are not sorry. They have every intention of deploying that model for the future, complete with forced injections.

This is not speculation. The World Health Organization says this. The powers of the public health bureaucracies permit it. The banks will cooperate. The Digital ID is spreading globally and will be used for enforcement. Surveillance is everywhere. A CCP-style social credit system? All the pieces are in place.

The cultural and economic calamity of the last lockdown should be obvious. Our money’s purchasing power is down by a third or more. Student testing on reading and math entered a free fall. Labour force participation never fully recovered. A third of US working-age men are missing from the workforce. The national debt in all countries ballooned out of control.

That said, the bureaucrats enjoyed the power, tech companies like the new attention for housebound professionals, and the pharmaceutical companies earned hundreds of billions. Never mind that the shots and pills have since proven useless at best and often dangerous and deadly.

Under existing law, they cannot be sued.

One would suppose that there would be a global consensus: no more lockdowns ever. Sadly, that is not the case.

The drumbeat is daily, all designed to generate grave fears of infectious disease. One hour it is Hantavirus, then it is Novovirus, then it is a Gastroenteritis outbreak, then it is something else, so long as it sounds exotic and threatening.

Meanwhile, North America is actually suffering from an epidemic of chronic diseases. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has been talking about this for years but the powers-that-be don’t want to hear it.

Does it not seem sometimes like all of this is intentional, planned from the top by nefarious actors? Certainly it was last time. We have all the emails and receipts to prove that the lockdowns were deployed to cover up the lab leak, test out a new pharmatech, and boost digital profits.

It all came at the expense of freedom. There were days only six years ago when people began even making fun of that word, spelling it “freedumb.”

Has much changed?

Perhaps not, and that is the exact reason why we must all stand up against this next imposition and loudly and publicly call it out for what it is – just the next stage of the global coup for ultimate power and control.

But we can put a stop to this. We can make a difference and we can influence those around us.

We just need the courage and conviction to stand up and fight for the future of our children and our grandchildren. Our grandparents stood up and fought because they didn’t want to become slaves to the Nazi’s and they gave their next three generations freedom and prosperity.

Now it is our turn.

So what will you do (or not do) for our next three generations? It is quite literally all up to you now…
