The aftermath of COVID-19 response is a real danger

I got called into the Docs office early yesterday, so I missed posting my enlightening thoughts.  The hue and cry that followed was the saddest sound ever.

UPDATE:  More proof of government/liberal take over during crisis.  Once this becomes the norm the "GAME OVER" light comes on.

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist.  Okay, I’m a huge conspiracy theorist.  Here’s one that was sent to me not long ago.  At first blush I thought it was pretty thin gruel.  Then stories started cropping up about just how corrupt and China loving the W.H.O really is. The creepy masters of the universe bureaucrats involved in the Event 201 seminar in the video is enough to give anyone pause.

Then the Powerline people enlighten us with jewels like this:   

There have been a few stories observing that the temporary collapse of economic activity in China and, starting last week, here in the U.S. is having the benefit of lowering emissions! Sooner or later some environmentalist is going to indulge the view that the mortality from COVID 19 isn’t all bad since it reduces population.

Actually, someone already previewed it for us. Back in 1989, a research biologist for the National Park Service named David Graber wrote in the Los Angeles Times:

“Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, are not as important as a wild and healthy planet. I know social scientists who remind me that people are part of nature, but it isn’t true. Somewhere along the line–at about a billion years ago, maybe half that—we quit the contract and became a cancer. We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth. It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil-energy consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.”

Remember: this was a Federal government scientist. Think of it as the Deep-Six State.

Given the government’s inability to fire even the vilest, lazy, stupid and agenda driven people like Graber, you just know these are the deep (six) state azzwipes out there right now supposedly looking out after us when their real goal is to sow fear and even kill us.

But wait there’s more: 

 I should have known the postmodernist court jester Slavoj Zizek would show up at some point, proclaiming that the coronavirus is a great excuse to bring back Communism! No, seriously, that’s his argument. (Though on close inspection it turns out to be another iteration of “True Communism has never been tried! I’m sure we’ll get it right this time!” Which is why I still wonder whether Zizek is putting us on all the time.)

‘If you add to this a possible new wave of refugees you get the perfect storm, and I think that Europe is so weakened that it will not be able to react in a unified way, and that’s what I mean when I say coronavirus gives a new chance to communism,’ he said. ‘Of course, I don’t mean the old-style communism. By communism, I mean simply what the World Health Organization is saying. We should mobilize, coordinate, and so on…like, my God, this is a dangerous situation. They’re saying this country lacks masks, respirators, and so on. We should treat this as a war. Some kind of European coordination…maybe even wartime mobilization. It can be done, and it can even boost productivity.

‘What I mean is that it is possible to keep the good sides of capitalism, but nonetheless, through a coordinated state, social effort to mobilize. Not just with coronavirus, this is needed with other ecological crises, refugees and so on.’

I think we have to walk a very fine line here.  Is the cure worse than the disease?  Does it lend us to government over-reaction and injecting itself into lives in ways we heretofore we would never have tolerated.  The government is taking what appear to be extra constitutional steps to try to prevent the spread of the virus and keep the economy from collapsing.  The Demo-Dope saying, “Never let a crisis go to waste” comes to mind.

I’m not so concerned about this right now.  Things are bad – even if/when the virus is contained – things are bad.  I worry about if America opts for a moron like Slow Joe Biden to occupy the Oval Office.  Look how easy it was to get us whipped into a frenzy and give up things for sake of blunting the spread of a virus.  What if Slowly Joe decides gun violence in Chicago has reached epidemic proportions and that draconian COVID-19 like steps must be taken to protect the American people?  Demands the closure of all gun stores.  Halts gun manufacturing etc? 

We’ve been or are being conditioned for draconian federal responses to problems.  If PDJT is successful in blunting this virus and saving the economy by closing down the country and handing out government checks, what precedence does that set?  Dopes will be rolling it out every time someone sneezes in the street.  We are still living with FDR's New Deal BS.  

I don’t know how this all  going to play out but I hope we don’t take the 9-11 approach that will have us socially distancing 20 years after the event.  Don’t laugh.  We’re still standing in lines stripping down, being patted down and exposed to x-rays while we pile our belongings into plastic bins to be examined by the government without warrant.  Grandma gets pulled aside for a cavity search while the 20 something male breezes through without a care.  We put up with this BS because we don’t want to get kicked off a flight for raising the BS flag on the entire futile process.  It is just another government bureaucracy that will never go away, modernize or adjust to meet the needs of the people that they supposedly protecting. 

That is the big danger of the government response to this virus.  We sheepeople will just continue to go along with the BS long after the crisis has passed.
