Here Come the ‘Climate Lockdowns’
Fuck. Off.

This is not the deception you’re looking for. Time:
This is the inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election, based on access to the group’s inner workings, never-before-seen documents and interviews with dozens of those involved from across the political spectrum. It is the story of an unprecedented, creative and determined campaign whose success also reveals how close the nation came to disaster. “Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated,” says Ian Bassin, co-founder of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan rule-of-law advocacy group. “But it’s massively important for the country to understand that it didn’t happen accidentally. The system didn’t work magically. Democracy is not self-executing.”
That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.
Don’t worry. They didn’t “rig” the election, they just “fortified” it by controlling the flow of information, changed laws (often without the approval of state legislatures), steer media coverage, and “influence perceptions.”
Don’t piss on my fucking leg and tell me it’s raining. You can fuck off with this full blown bit of bullshit.

Nail, meet the hammer. Glenn Greenwald:
But this is now the prevailing ethos in corporate journalism. They have insufficient talent or skill, and even less desire, to take on real power centers: the military-industrial complex, the CIA and FBI, the clandestine security state, Wall Street, Silicon Valley monopolies, the corrupted and lying corporate media outlets they serve. So settling on this penny-ante, trivial bullshit — tattling, hall monitoring, speech policing: all in the most anti-intellectual, adolescent and primitive ways — is all they have. It’s all they are. It’s why they have fully earned the contempt and distrust in which the public holds them.
This is exactly right. Journalism is not the noble fourth estate speaking truth to power any longer. They’re deathly scared of free speech, act as stenographers for those in power, and work only to further their own influence as the locus of all acceptable information, seeking to completely destroy everything else that doesn’t pass through their gates. Journalists are petty, vindictive fucks who seek to silence those who refuse to buy their brand of bullshit. Their profession cannot die a quicker death.

Why is this so fucking hard?

If this proves to be true, there needs to be serious consequences. The Toronto Sun:
One year after the pandemic started, World Health Organization advisor Jamie Metzl wants China to come clean about the origins of the COVID-19 virus.
The Kansas City-born, New York-based Metzl, who served as Deputy Staff Director of the Foreign Relations Committee under then Senator Joe Biden (2001-2003) and before that on the National Security Council (1997-99) and the State Department (1999-01) under President Bill Clinton), theorizes it was most likely an accidental lab leak in Wuhan.
“Accidental.”

In order to maximize efficiency in getting the Covid-19 vaccine out as quickly as possible to as many people as possible, let’s use Social Justice as a key barometer for prioritization of who gets vaccinated and when. The Daily Mail:
Every US state has been advised to consider ethnic minorities as a critical and vulnerable group in their vaccine distribution plans, according to Centers for Disease Control guidance.
ADVERTISEMENTAs a result, half of the nation’s states have outlined plans that now prioritize black, Hispanic and indigenous residents over white people in some way, as the vaccine rollout begins.
I’m sure that this route of prioritization based on where you fall on the victimhood ladder is totally based in SCIENCE!, using the best principles put forward by those who specialize in logistics for a living.

And so it begins. Politico:
The Biden administration is moving forward with the creation of a bipartisan commission to study reforms to the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary.
If you really wanted to tear the country apart, you couldn’t do anything more direct than expand the high court.

It’s For The Children™️. Reason:
Another day, another set of parents who discovered at the last minute that the planned reopening of their kids’ long-shuttered elementary schools was being thwarted by a politically powerful teachers union.
This time it was in the wealthy, New York City-adjacent suburb of Montclair, New Jersey, where Superintendent Jonathan Ponds announced late Friday “with deep regret” that the schools, closed for the past 319 days, wouldn’t even be reopening on a hybrid basis (half-in, half-remote), because negotiations with the Montclair Education Association (MEA) broke down. “I realize how unsettling this news is,” Ponds added.
But it doesn’t end there.
Sure enough, just this afternoon on CNN, when asked about schools reopening not in 100 days but in September, City Council member and Health Committee Chair Mark Levine said: “It’s too soon.”
The same message is coming from the political class mismanaging affairs across the Hudson. Marie Blistan, president of the New Jersey Education Association (which is foursquare behind the unofficial teachers strike in Montclair), told the Times that the Garden State should be prepared for “interruptions in learning for maybe another year.”
Yeah. What the fuck ever.
