21stcenturywire--2020-10-14--Court Rebuffs Gretchen Whitmer’s Plan to Keep State on Lockdown Until After Election

It ’ s now becoming clear that one of the deciding swing issues of the 2020 Presidential Election is going to be COVID Lockdowns .
Incredibly , Democrats are now openly attempting to convert Americans ’ pain and suffering into votes on Nov 3rd .
This week a Michigan Supreme Court ruled in favor of the people by effectively rebuking efforts by the state ’ s Democrat Governor , Gretchen Whitmer , to impose a new state-wide lockdown supposedly to stop coronavirus .
Earlier this month , the court struck down Whitmer ’ s initial decree to extend her COVID @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but Governor ’ s office was still determined to keep the state under lockdown and appealed for a stay of the court ’ s decision .
It appears that a desperate Whitmer had hoped to delay the Court ’ s ruling going into effect for a further 21 days – until after the General Election on November 3rd , but the Court saw through this maneuver and proceeded to reject Whitmer ’ s attempted delay on Monday .
This latest legal drama confirms what many had already suspected – that some Democratic politicians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdown until after the election , in effect , increasing the amount of economic and social pain and suffering – arguably a dangerous strategy designed to blame President Trump for the damage caused by the very policies championed by Democrats since the beginning of the pandemic .
It is now obvious from the Governor ’ s own statements what her true intentions were – using the brute force of her office to sideline a Court ruling with authoritarian executive power .
In a statement after the ruling on October 2 , Whitmer claimed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this ruling does not take effect for at least 21 days , and until then , my emergency declaration and orders retain the force of law.
” She called the ruling “ deeply disappointing.
” The governor ’ s attorneys later asked for 28 days to give the administration time to negotiate with lawmakers and put new restrictions in place .
Yet on Monday , the court ruled that the 21-day rule does not apply in this case because the ruling came in response to questions from a federal judge who sought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s actions , Crain ’ s Detroit Business reported .
Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack wrote , “ I do not believe the court has the authority to grant the remedy the governor requests .
… Our court rules do not provide a way for any party to the lawsuit in the ( federal ) district court to challenge our answer in this court.
” After the Oct. 2 ruling , Whitmer ’ s health department director has imposed a new mask mandate and restrictions for public-facing businesses and gatherings under the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the scope of the legal challenge .
The Oct. 2 ruling condemned the excessive sweep of Whitmer ’ s lockdown , noting that a wide variety of businesses had to close as a result of her orders , including “ restaurants , food courts , cafes , coffeehouses , bars , taverns , brew pubs , breweries , microbreweries , distilleries , wineries , tasting rooms , clubs , hookah bars , cigar bars , vaping lounges , barbershops , hair salons , nail salons , tanning salons , tattoo parlors , schools @ @ @ @ @ @ @ libraries , museums , gymnasiums , fitness centers , public swimming pools , recreation centers , indoor sports facilities , indoor exercise facilities , exercise studios , spas , casinos , and racetracks.
” “ These policies exhibit a sweeping scope , both with regard to the subjects covered and the power exercised over those subjects .
Indeed , they rest on an assertion of power to reorder social life and to limit , if not altogether displace , the livelihoods of residents across the state and throughout wide-ranging industries , ” the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just weeks before the big election as Michigan , a key battleground state in the upcoming Presidential race , prepares for Nov 3rd .
It seems that the Democratic Party strategy of ‘ maximum pressure ’ on the American people is also being conducted at a national level as well , as evidenced this week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) led calls to stop the President ’ s $ 1.8 Trillion Corona virus Relief Bill .
The partisan move seemed so obvious that even pro-Democrat network CNN pushed back against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yesterday .
The CNN anchor ’ s questions were met with a stinging response by Pelosi who was clearly upset at being asked to justify her party ’ s controversial decision to hold up economic relief ahead of the election .
Watch : It is unconscionable that politicians would be using the current COVID crisis by reimposing restrictions on citizens in order to blame the crisis on their opponents and thus leverage votes in the upcoming general election .
But this appears to be exactly what is happening .
However , if this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could end up providing a much-needed bounce to the incumbent President Trump in the close battleground states .

It’s now becoming clear that one of the deciding swing issues of the 2020 Presidential Election is going to be COVID Lockdowns. Incredibly, Democrats are now openly attempting to convert Americans’ pain and suffering into votes on Nov 3rd.
This week a Michigan Supreme Court ruled in favor of the people by effectively rebuking efforts by the state’s Democrat Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, to impose a new state-wide lockdown supposedly to stop coronavirus.
Earlier this month, the court struck down Whitmer’s initial decree to extend her COVID lockdown into the spring of 2021, but Governor’s office was still determined to keep the state under lockdown and appealed for a stay of the court’s decision.
It appears that a desperate Whitmer had hoped to delay the Court’s ruling going into effect for a further 21 days – until after the General Election on November 3rd, but the Court saw through this maneuver and proceeded to reject Whitmer’s attempted delay on Monday.
This latest legal drama confirms what many had already suspected – that some Democratic politicians are attempting to keep their states under lockdown until after the election, in effect, increasing the amount of economic and social pain and suffering – arguably a dangerous strategy designed to blame President Trump for the damage caused by the very policies championed by Democrats since the beginning of the pandemic.
It is now obvious from the Governor’s own statements what her true intentions were – using the brute force of her office to sideline a Court ruling with authoritarian executive power.
PJ Media reports:
In a statement after the ruling on October 2, Whitmer claimed, “It is important to note that this ruling does not take effect for at least 21 days, and until then, my emergency declaration and orders retain the force of law.” She called the ruling “deeply disappointing.” The governor’s attorneys later asked for 28 days to give the administration time to negotiate with lawmakers and put new restrictions in place. Yet on Monday, the court ruled that the 21-day rule does not apply in this case because the ruling came in response to questions from a federal judge who sought clarity on the legality of the governor’s actions, Crain’s Detroit Business reported. Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack wrote, “I do not believe the court has the authority to grant the remedy the governor requests. … Our court rules do not provide a way for any party to the lawsuit in the (federal) district court to challenge our answer in this court.” After the Oct. 2 ruling, Whitmer’s health department director has imposed a new mask mandate and restrictions for public-facing businesses and gatherings under the public health code, which remained outside the scope of the legal challenge. The Oct. 2 ruling condemned the excessive sweep of Whitmer’s lockdown, noting that a wide variety of businesses had to close as a result of her orders, including “restaurants, food courts, cafes, coffeehouses, bars, taverns, brew pubs, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, wineries, tasting rooms, clubs, hookah bars, cigar bars, vaping lounges, barbershops, hair salons, nail salons, tanning salons, tattoo parlors, schools, churches, theaters, cinemas, libraries, museums, gymnasiums, fitness centers, public swimming pools, recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, indoor exercise facilities, exercise studios, spas, casinos, and racetracks.” “These policies exhibit a sweeping scope, both with regard to the subjects covered and the power exercised over those subjects. Indeed, they rest on an assertion of power to reorder social life and to limit, if not altogether displace, the livelihoods of residents across the state and throughout wide-ranging industries,” the ruling added.
This latest drama comes just weeks before the big election as Michigan, a key battleground state in the upcoming Presidential race, prepares for Nov 3rd.
It seems that the Democratic Party strategy of ‘maximum pressure’ on the American people is also being conducted at a national level as well, as evidenced this week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) led calls to stop the President’s $1.8 Trillion Corona virus Relief Bill.
The partisan move seemed so obvious that even pro-Democrat network CNN pushed back against Pelosi during her segment with Wolf Blitzer yesterday. The CNN anchor’s questions were met with a stinging response by Pelosi who was clearly upset at being asked to justify her party’s controversial decision to hold up economic relief ahead of the election.

Strategy Backfiring
It is unconscionable that politicians would be using the current COVID crisis by reimposing restrictions on citizens in order to blame the crisis on their opponents and thus leverage votes in the upcoming general election. But this appears to be exactly what is happening.
However, if this tactic backfires on the Democrats, it could end up providing a much-needed bounce to the incumbent President Trump in the close battleground states.

This is a shocking level of meddling in a US Presidential election by Silicon Valley corporations – who are now directly intervening to prevent the public from seeing a proven factual news report, and one which is certainly in the public interest. Much worse though, partisan social media corporations are doing so to protect the candidate whose Presidential campaign they are financing.

21stcenturywire--2020-10-17--Revealed: The Covidian Cult

Revealed: The Covidian Cult

One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative .
Not a regular official narrative , like the “ Cold War ” or the “ War on Terror ” narratives .
A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality and that is contradicted by a preponderance of facts .
Nazism and Stalinism are the classic examples , but the phenomenon is better observed in cults and other sub-cultural societal groups .
Numerous examples will spring to mind : the Manson family , Jim Jones ’ People ’ s Temple , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , etc.
, each with its own psychotic official narrative : Helter Skelter , Christian Communism , Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy , and so on .
Looking in from the dominant culture ( or back through time in the case of the Nazis ) , the delusional nature of these official narratives is glaringly obvious to most rational people .
What many people fail to understand is that to those who fall prey to them ( whether individual cult members or entire totalitarian societies ) such narratives do not register as psychotic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entirely normal .
Everything in their social “ reality ” reifies and reaffirms the narrative , and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an existential threat .
These narratives are invariably paranoid , portraying the cult as threatened or persecuted by an evil enemy or antagonistic force which only unquestioning conformity to the cult ’ s ideology can save its members from .
It makes little difference whether this antagonist is mainstream culture , body thetans , counter-revolutionaries , Jews , or a virus .
The point is not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria the official narrative generates , which keeps the cult members ( or the society ) compliant .
In addition to being paranoid , these narratives are often internally inconsistent , illogical , and … well , just completely ridiculous .
This does not weaken them , as one might suspect .
Actually , it increases their power , as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistency and irrationality , and in many cases utter absurdity , in order to remain in good standing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course impossible , and causes the cult members ’ minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking , which is precisely what the cult leader wants .
Moreover , cult leaders will often radically change these narratives for no apparent reason , forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear ( and often even denounce as “ heresy ” ) the beliefs they had previously been forced to profess , and behave as if they had never believed them , which causes their minds to further short circuit , until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think rationally , and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult leader fills their heads with .
Also , the cult leader ’ s nonsensical gibberish is not as nonsensical as it may seem at first .
Most of us , upon encountering such gibberish , assume that the cult leader is trying to communicate , and that something is very wrong with his brain .
The cult leader isn ’ t trying to communicate .
He is trying to disorient and control the listener ’ s mind .
Listen to Charlie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what he says , but how he says it .
Note how he sprinkles bits of truth into his stream of free-associated nonsense , and his repetitive use of thought-terminating clichés , described by Robert J. Lifton as follows : If all this sounds familiar , good .
Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies : Milieu Control , Loaded Language , Sacred Science , Demand for Purity , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can happen to pretty much any society , just as anyone can fall prey to a cult , given the right set of circumstances .
It is happening to most of our societies right now .
An official narrative is being implemented .
A totalitarian official narrative .
A totally psychotic official narrative , no less delusional than that of the Nazis , or the Manson family , or any other cult .
Most people can not see that it is happening , for the simple reason that it is happening to them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is pushed past its limits .
Ask anyone who has struggled with psychosis or has taken too much LSD .
We do not recognize when we are going insane .
When reality falls apart completely , the mind will create a delusional narrative , which appears just as “ real ” as our normal reality , because even a delusion is better than the stark raving terror of utter chaos .
This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our minds , and why actual initiation rituals ( as opposed to purely symbolic rituals ) begin by attacking the subject ’ s mind with terror , pain , physical exhaustion , psychedelic drugs , or some other means of obliterating the subject ’ s perception of reality .
Once that is achieved , and the subject ’ s mind starts desperately trying to construct a new narrative to make sense out of the cognitive chaos and psychological trauma it is undergoing , it is relatively easy to “ guide ” that process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assuming you have done your homework .
And this is why so many people — people who are able to easily recognize totalitarianism in cults and foreign countries — can not perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now , right in front of their faces ( or , rather , right inside their minds ) .
Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official “ Covid-19 ” narrative , no more than those in Nazi Germany were able to perceive how completely delusional their official “ master race ” narrative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nor stupid .
They have been successfully initiated into a cult , which is essentially what totalitarianism is , albeit on a societal scale .
Their initiation into the Covidian Cult began in January , when the medical authorities and corporate media turned on The Fear with projections of hundreds of millions of deaths and fake photos of people dropping dead in the streets .
The psychological conditioning has continued for months .
The global masses have been subjected to a constant stream of propaganda , manufactured hysteria , wild speculation , conflicting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tawdry theatrical effects .
Lockdowns .
Emergency field hospitals and morgues .
The singing-dancing NHS staff .
Death trucks .
Overflowing ICUs .
Dead Covid babies .
Manipulated statistics .
Goon squads .
Masks .
And all the rest of it .
Eight months later , here we are .
The Head of the Health Emergencies Program at the WHO has basically confirmed an IFR of 0.14 % , approximately the same as the seasonal flu .
And here are the latest survival rate estimates from the Center for Disease Control : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
An increasing number of doctors and medical experts are breaking ranks and explaining how the current mass hysteria over “ cases ” ( which now includes perfectly healthy people ) is essentially meaningless propaganda , for example , in this segment on ARD , one of the big mainstream German TV channels .
And then there is the existence of Sweden , and other countries which are not playing ball with the official Covid-19 narrative , which makes a mockery of the ongoing hysteria .
I ’ m not going to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is , the facts are all available .
Not from “ conspiracy theorist ” websites .
From mainstream outlets and medical experts .
From the Center for Fucking Disease Control .
Which does not matter in the least , not to the members of the Covidian Cult .
Facts do not matter to totalitarians and cult members .
What matters is loyalty to the cult or the party .
Which means we have a serious problem , those of us to whom facts still matter , and who have been trying to use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are wrong about the virus … for going on eight months at this point .
While it is crucial to continue reporting the facts and sharing them with as many people as possible — which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the censorship of alternative and social media — it is important to accept what we are up against .
What we are up against is not a misunderstanding or a rational argument over scientific facts .
It is a fanatical ideological movement .
A global totalitarian movement … the first of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isn ’ t national totalitarianism , because we ’ re living in a global capitalist empire , which isn ’ t ruled by nation-states , but rather , by supranational entities and the global capitalist system itself .
And thus , the cult/culture paradigm has been inverted .
Instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture , the cult has become the dominant culture , and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it .
I wish I could be more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of plan of action , but the only historical parallel I can think of is how Christianity “ converted ” the pagan world … which doesn ’ t really bode so well for us .
While you ’ re sitting at home during the “ second wave ” lockdowns , you might want to brush up on that history .

One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative. Not a regular official narrative, like the “Cold War” or the “War on Terror” narratives. A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality and that is contradicted by a preponderance of facts.
Nazism and Stalinism are the classic examples, but the phenomenon is better observed in cults and other sub-cultural societal groups. Numerous examples will spring to mind: the Manson family, Jim Jones’ People’s Temple, the Church of Scientology, Heavens Gate, etc., each with its own psychotic official narrative: Helter Skelter, Christian Communism, Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy, and so on.
Looking in from the dominant culture (or back through time in the case of the Nazis), the delusional nature of these official narratives is glaringly obvious to most rational people. What many people fail to understand is that to those who fall prey to them (whether individual cult members or entire totalitarian societies) such narratives do not register as psychotic. On the contrary, they feel entirely normal. Everything in their social “reality” reifies and reaffirms the narrative, and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an existential threat.
These narratives are invariably paranoid, portraying the cult as threatened or persecuted by an evil enemy or antagonistic force which only unquestioning conformity to the cult’s ideology can save its members from. It makes little difference whether this antagonist is mainstream culture, body thetans, counter-revolutionaries, Jews, or a virus. The point is not the identity of the enemy. The point is the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria the official narrative generates, which keeps the cult members (or the society) compliant.
In addition to being paranoid, these narratives are often internally inconsistent, illogical, and … well, just completely ridiculous. This does not weaken them, as one might suspect. Actually, it increases their power, as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistency and irrationality, and in many cases utter absurdity, in order to remain in good standing with the cult. Such reconciliation is of course impossible, and causes the cult members’ minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking, which is precisely what the cult leader wants.
Moreover, cult leaders will often radically change these narratives for no apparent reason, forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear (and often even denounce as “heresy”) the beliefs they had previously been forced to profess, and behave as if they had never believed them, which causes their minds to further short circuit, until they eventually give up even trying to think rationally, and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult leader fills their heads with.
Also, the cult leader’s nonsensical gibberish is not as nonsensical as it may seem at first. Most of us, upon encountering such gibberish, assume that the cult leader is trying to communicate, and that something is very wrong with his brain. The cult leader isn’t trying to communicate. He is trying to disorient and control the listener’s mind. Listen to Charlie Manson “rapping.” Not just to what he says, but how he says it. Note how he sprinkles bits of truth into his stream of free-associated nonsense, and his repetitive use of thought-terminating clichés, described by Robert J. Lifton as follows:
“The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly selective, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.” — Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: : A Study of “Brainwashing” in China, 1961
If all this sounds familiar, good. Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies: Milieu Control, Loaded Language, Sacred Science, Demand for Purity, and other standard mind-control techniques. It can happen to pretty much any society, just as anyone can fall prey to a cult, given the right set of circumstances.
It is happening to most of our societies right now. An official narrative is being implemented. A totalitarian official narrative. A totally psychotic official narrative, no less delusional than that of the Nazis, or the Manson family, or any other cult.
Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason that it is happening to them. They are literally unable to recognize it. The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is pushed past its limits. Ask anyone who has struggled with psychosis or has taken too much LSD. We do not recognize when we are going insane. When reality falls apart completely, the mind will create a delusional narrative, which appears just as “real” as our normal reality, because even a delusion is better than the stark raving terror of utter chaos.
This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on, and exploit to implant their narratives in our minds, and why actual initiation rituals (as opposed to purely symbolic rituals) begin by attacking the subject’s mind with terror, pain, physical exhaustion, psychedelic drugs, or some other means of obliterating the subject’s perception of reality. Once that is achieved, and the subject’s mind starts desperately trying to construct a new narrative to make sense out of the cognitive chaos and psychological trauma it is undergoing, it is relatively easy to “guide” that process and implant whatever narrative you want, assuming you have done your homework.
And this is why so many people — people who are able to easily recognize totalitarianism in cults and foreign countries — cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now, right in front of their faces (or, rather, right inside their minds). Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official “Covid-19” narrative, no more than those in Nazi Germany were able to perceive how completely delusional their official “master race” narrative was. Such people are neither ignorant nor stupid. They have been successfully initiated into a cult, which is essentially what totalitarianism is, albeit on a societal scale.
Their initiation into the Covidian Cult began in January, when the medical authorities and corporate media turned on The Fear with projections of hundreds of millions of deaths and fake photos of people dropping dead in the streets. The psychological conditioning has continued for months. The global masses have been subjected to a constant stream of propaganda, manufactured hysteria, wild speculation, conflicting directives, exaggerations, lies, and tawdry theatrical effects. Lockdowns. Emergency field hospitals and morgues. The singing-dancing NHS staff. Death trucks. Overflowing ICUs. Dead Covid babies. Manipulated statistics. Goon squads. Masks. And all the rest of it.
Eight months later, here we are. The Head of the Health Emergencies Program at the WHO has basically confirmed an IFR of 0.14%, approximately the same as the seasonal flu. And here are the latest survival rate estimates from the Center for Disease Control:
Age 0-19 … 99.997%
Age 20-49 … 99.98%
Age 50-69 … 99.5%
Age 70+ … 94.6%
The “science” argument is officially over. An increasing number of doctors and medical experts are breaking ranks and explaining how the current mass hysteria over “cases” (which now includes perfectly healthy people) is essentially meaningless propaganda, for example, in this segment on ARD, one of the big mainstream German TV channels.
And then there is the existence of Sweden, and other countries which are not playing ball with the official Covid-19 narrative, which makes a mockery of the ongoing hysteria.
When you're desperately trying to pretend that the world is threatened by an apocalyptic virus, and then Sweden ruins it by letting everyone carry on with their lives as normal … pic.twitter.com/qMoVclCp1m — Consent Factory (@consent_factory) October 10, 2020
I’m not going to go on debunking the narrative. The point is, the facts are all available. Not from “conspiracy theorist” websites. From mainstream outlets and medical experts. From the Center for Fucking Disease Control.
Which does not matter in the least, not to the members of the Covidian Cult. Facts do not matter to totalitarians and cult members. What matters is loyalty to the cult or the party.
Which means we have a serious problem, those of us to whom facts still matter, and who have been trying to use them to convince the Covidian cultists that they are wrong about the virus … for going on eight months at this point.
While it is crucial to continue reporting the facts and sharing them with as many people as possible — which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the censorship of alternative and social media — it is important to accept what we are up against. What we are up against is not a misunderstanding or a rational argument over scientific facts. It is a fanatical ideological movement. A global totalitarian movement … the first of its kind in human history.
It isn’t national totalitarianism, because we’re living in a global capitalist empire, which isn’t ruled by nation-states, but rather, by supranational entities and the global capitalist system itself. And thus, the cult/culture paradigm has been inverted. Instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture, the cult has become the dominant culture, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it.
I wish I could be more optimistic, and maybe offer some sort of plan of action, but the only historical parallel I can think of is how Christianity “converted” the pagan world … which doesn’t really bode so well for us. While you’re sitting at home during the “second wave” lockdowns, you might want to brush up on that history.

21stcenturywire--2020-10-18--UK Media Issues First Rebuke to Gov’t Over Destructive Lockdown Policies

Opposition within certain corners of the British mainstream media has been gradually building for months following Boris Johnson ’ s decision to extend his precarious lockdown policies into the summer .
There were some individual voices like Peter Hitchens , Allison Pearson , Freddy Forsyth and others , by their voices were systematically marginalized , and thus remained relatively isolated as a result .
But the tide appears to have turned this week though .
The Mail on Sunday , one of Britain ’ s major Sunday publications , issued a stern rebuke to the Government today in its editor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is most comprehensive and decisive take-down of the state ’ s reactionary , authoritarian ‘ New Normal ’ regime .
Kudos to this paper ’ s editorial team for pushing back against a Government who continue to brazenly accuses its subjects of ‘ misbehaving ’ for simply engaging in what is now deemed the criminal act of living their normal lives .
Readers can only hope this is only the first wave of salvos by the mainstream press on behalf of the people… MAIL ON SUNDAY COMMENT : Powerful voices now argue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way of learning to live with the virus… We urge the PM to listen The measures now being imposed on large parts of the country would be severe and hard to bear if we had reason to believe that they would do any good .
The trouble is that we have no shred of solid evidence that they will help at all .
The vast illogical web of new rules , increasingly impossible to understand or follow , looks worryingly like an exasperated attempt to punish us for wanting to live normal lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pub if you are prepared to eat a large unhealthy meal with your drink , but not otherwise .
Go to the gym in Manchester but not in Liverpool .
Wear a mask while you walk to your restaurant table , but not while you sit down .
It would take the late Professor Albert Einstein to work out the latest combination of regulations on who we can or can not see , mix with or meet , in the open air or indoors .
And by the time the great physicist had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the rules would have changed again .
The alleged scientific basis for this is weak beyond belief , as Sir Keir Starmer pointed out before throwing all reason and logic aside and demanding still more stringent collective punishments , which would incidentally make even more Labour voters unemployed .
In 19 out of the 20 places already compelled to suffer under strict regimes , no benefit was observed .
And why should it be ?
When we were first beguiled into this new way of life by an appeal to our benevolence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a few weeks of self-restraint we would save the NHS from being overwhelmed .
Who could resist such a plea ?
Millions cheerfully surrendered treasured freedoms for the common good , thinking they would soon get them back when the job was done .
The NHS was not overwhelmed ( and it is far from clear that it ever would have been ) .
But the weeks passed , and what happened ?
We had a serious case of mission creep .
Somehow the task had now become one never previously attempted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virtual suppression of the virus itself .
We were not free to return to our normal lives .
On the contrary , every few days brought a new alleged alarm .
A testy and increasingly petulant Matt Hancock , the Health Secretary , did not release us from our bonds .
Restrictions applied on the pretext of safety or security are notoriously hard to get rid of , and these were no exception .
Only after immense damage had been done to the economy were we allowed to resume something like normal life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrecked by sudden quarantine clampdowns , though no significant evidence has been produced that travellers returning from these supposedly dangerous countries were in fact suffering from or carrying the disease .
Hardly were the surviving pubs and restaurants and hairdressers open again , and high streets beginning to function , when the Government began to voice fears of a supposed ‘ second wave ’ of Covid , and moves to get us back to work were halted .
Indeed , the Government tried very hard to find such a second wave , launching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who could be said to be infected by the virus .
The key fact about Covid-19 , that it is rarely harmful to those much under 70 years of age , and then mainly when they have severe underlying conditions , seemed never to imprint itself on Mr Hancock ’ s memory .
He also seemed incapable of noticing that the great bulk of the positive test ‘ cases ’ of which he makes so much involved people who were and remained perfectly well .
The reassuring facts , that doctors have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effectively , that many hospitalisations tend to be brief , that many people are now recovering after successful treatments and the use of new and effective drugs , were likewise somehow underplayed .
Deaths , though each one is a tragedy , remain at levels far below the totals they reached at the peak of the first crisis in March and April .
In the week ending October 2 , Covid accounted for just 3.2 per cent of fatalities in British hospitals .
Covid mortality levels are still drastically lower now than in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ April 17 , 8,758 recorded deaths mentioned Covid as a possible factor on the death certificate .
For the first week in October , the comparable figure was just 321 .
As we also now know , many of the deaths in March and April followed a severe mishandling of the epidemic in care homes , and had little or nothing to do with the lack , or the existence , of lockdown measures .
In fact an examination of all the affected nations shows no obvious connection between the severity of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suffered .
The key problem of the episode from the start – that the danger from the virus itself had been overstated – continues unabated .
Yet we are once again being accused of misbehaving by the simple action of living our lives .
A blizzard of decrees compelled millions to wear face coverings , despite what the Government itself had once admitted was sketchy evidence for their benefits .
Now a rise in cases , which is largely attributable to the normal increase in respiratory disease at this time of year , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regional shutdowns or for a so-called ‘ circuit-breaker ’ .
In London , scanty evidence of a surge has been used by the utterly undistinguished Mayor , Sadiq Khan , to trigger misery and economic damage among the people whose interests he is supposed to protect .
It is this damage , combined with the shrivelling of much of the NHS , that makes this continuing foolishness especially hard to bear .
It may even be that more people die from postponed or missed treatments than from Covid .
The strangling of travel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made life infinitely less enjoyable .
It has permanently killed countless brave small businesses and deprived huge numbers of men and women of their livelihoods .
Fairy Gold , summoned up from nowhere by Chancellor Rishi Sunak , may ease the initial pain .
But it must be paid for out of the nation ’ s life savings , and it will run out , leaving a bleak landscape of long-term unemployment and shrinking payments for those who suffer it .
The Prime Minister can be forgiven for taking what he , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ urgent action back in March .
We knew so much less then than we do now .
But the time has now come to reconsider .
The practical effects of these measures on Covid are sketchy at best .
Their effects on human happiness , health , wellbeing and the economy are increasingly evident , deep , painful and lasting .
Especially since the Great Barrington Declaration , supported by several distinguished scientific experts of all political hues , including Britain ’ s own Sunetra Gupta , it is no longer possible to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one route out of this crisis .
Powerful voices argue for a more nuanced and less painful way of learning to live with the virus , as we rebuild our prosperity and our freedom and look forward to a future free of lockdowns , circuit-breakers and family separation .
Boris Johnson has the capacity to see this and act on it .
We urge him , with all our hearts , to do so now .

21stcenturywire--2020-10-19--Michigan Court Blocks Democrat Postal Vote Scheme

Last month , 21WIRE reported on a Democrat-led plot to delay vote counts in key battleground states .
The Transition Integrity Project ( TIP ) are on record as war-gaming a plan to spread mayhem and misinformation following the November 3 presidential elections by capitalizing on a party-wide strategy which seeks to delay postal vote submissions up to 10-14 days after the national election on Nov 3rd .
It relies on taking advantage of any presumed delays in determining the winner ( due to the deluge of postal votes ) in a group of key swing states , including hotly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] he American people are being prepared for a contested election that will fuel public anxiety and revolt .
This all fits with the overall strategy of the TIP .
Selected journalists will be used to provide bits of information that serve the interests of the group while the people will be told to expect a long and drawn-out constitutional crisis .
Meanwhile , the media , the Democrat leadership , trusted elites and elements in the Intelligence Community will put pressure on Trump to step down while firing up their political base @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s 22-page manifesto makes it clear that mass mobilization will be key to any electoral victory .
Here ’ s an excerpt from the text : “ A show of numbers in the streets-and actions in the streets-may be decisive factors in determining what the public perceives as a just and legitimate outcome.
” ( “ Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election and Transition ” The Transition Integrity Project ) This week a Michigan court ruled to block the Democrat plan which appears to be designed to sow chaos in the wake of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presiding judge noting that , “ The constitution is not suspended or transformed even in times of a pandemic… ” Needless to say , the Democratic Party was visibly disheveled by the court ’ s decision .
DETROIT ( AP ) — Absentee ballots must arrive by Election Day to be counted , the Michigan Court of Appeals said Friday , blocking a 14-day extension that had been ordered by a lower court and embraced by key Democratic officials in a battleground state .
Any changes must rest with the Legislature , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judges said in a 3-0 opinion .
Absentee ballot extensions in Wisconsin and Indiana have also been overturned by higher courts .
Michigan ’ s ability to handle a flood of ballots will be closely watched in a state that was narrowly won by President Donald Trump in 2016 .
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson last week said 2.7 million people had requested absentee ballots , a result of a change in law that makes them available to any voter .
Michigan law says absentee ballots must be turned in by 8 p.m. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens had ordered that any ballots postmarked by Nov. 2 could be counted if they arrived within two weeks after the Nov. 3 election .
Stephens said there was “ unrefuted evidence ” about mail delivery problems because of the coronavirus pandemic .
She said more than 6,400 ballots arrived too late to be counted in the August primary .
The appeals court , however , said the pandemic and any delivery woes “ are not attributable to the state.
” “ Although those factors may complicate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not automatically amount to a loss of the right to vote absentee , ” the court said , noting that hundreds of special boxes have been set up across Michigan .
The court also reversed another portion of Stephens ’ decision , which would have allowed a non-family member to deliver a completed ballot in the final days before the election if a voter consented .
“ The constitution is not suspended or transformed even in times of a pandemic , and judges do not somehow become authorized in a pandemic to rewrite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the policymaking branches of government , ” Judge Mark Boonstra said in a separate , 10-page concurring opinion .
Benson and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel , both Democrats , had declined to appeal Stephens ’ rulings , leaving it to the Republican-controlled Legislature to intervene .
“ Happy to see this unanimous ruling to uphold the integrity of our elections process and reject judicial overreach , ” Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey tweeted .
“ Voters should not be punished for delays in the U.S .
Postal Service or for unexpected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for them to get to the polls on Election Day , ” the party said .
The case was heard by appeals court judges Boonstra , Michael Gadola and Thomas Cameron .
All were appointed by Rick Snyder , a Republican , when he was governor and then subsequently elected .
The lawsuit was filed by a group called Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans .

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson last week said 2.7 million people had requested absentee ballots, a result of a change in law that makes them available to any voter.
Michigan law says absentee ballots must be turned in by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be valid. But Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens had ordered that any ballots postmarked by Nov. 2 could be counted if they arrived within two weeks after the Nov. 3 election.
Stephens said there was “unrefuted evidence” about mail delivery problems because of the coronavirus pandemic. She said more than 6,400 ballots arrived too late to be counted in the August primary.
The appeals court, however, said the pandemic and any delivery woes “are not attributable to the state.”
“Although those factors may complicate plaintiffs’ voting process, they do not automatically amount to a loss of the right to vote absentee,” the court said, noting that hundreds of special boxes have been set up across Michigan.
The court also reversed another portion of Stephens’ decision, which would have allowed a non-family member to deliver a completed ballot in the final days before the election if a voter consented.
“The constitution is not suspended or transformed even in times of a pandemic, and judges do not somehow become authorized in a pandemic to rewrite statutes or to displace the decisions made by the policymaking branches of government,” Judge Mark Boonstra said in a separate, 10-page concurring opinion.
Benson and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, both Democrats, had declined to appeal Stephens’ rulings, leaving it to the Republican-controlled Legislature to intervene.
“Happy to see this unanimous ruling to uphold the integrity of our elections process and reject judicial overreach,” Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey tweeted.
The Michigan Democratic Party was disappointed.
“Voters should not be punished for delays in the U.S. Postal Service or for unexpected emergencies that could make it a challenge for them to get to the polls on Election Day,” the party said.
The case was heard by appeals court judges Boonstra, Michael Gadola and Thomas Cameron. All were appointed by Rick Snyder, a Republican, when he was governor and then subsequently elected.
The lawsuit was filed by a group called Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans.

This week’s legal battles intensified over whether states will accept mail-in votes after the date of the actual election. The legal maneuvering shows that the Democrat Party are still planning to use the courts in order to delay voting and calling the results of multiple battleground states.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court intervened in the eleventh hour to allow delayed voting based primarily on supposed health risks related to COVID-19. Pennsylvania Democratic attorney general, Josh Shapiro, cited claims of “exigent circumstances surrounding a global pandemic.”
AG Shapiro claims that Americans must chose between their health and proper voting. “In doing so, that court ensured that Pennsylvanians would not be forced to choose between exercising their right to vote and protecting their health,” he said.
The state court ruled that any ballots must be counted if they are postmarked by Nov. 3 — and even if there is no visible postmark. Critics believe this might open to door for election fraud and unnecessary delays in calling a winner on election day in multiple key swing states – a calamity which could invite untold chaos.
Already, a Michigan court has struck down the attempt by Democrats to draw out the election result by allowing late voting. It is not yet known whether this latest ruling for Pennsylvania will be used to overturn other states who have hit the breaks on the Democrat Party’s ‘late voting’ scheme.
The decision rested largely on Supreme Court’s perception that COVID-19 is so deadly that the mere act of showing up to vote on Nov 3rd is somehow life-threatening – a spurious claim which may have little basis in reality, but nonetheless seems to have informed the court ruling – using the perception of a global pandemic as the mechanism to expose states to potential chaos which could ensue after November 3rd.
Law Correspondent Robert Barnes from Washington Post reports…
The Supreme Court on Monday night allowed Pennsylvania election officials to count mail-in ballots received up to three days after Election Day, refusing a Republican request to stop a pandemic-related procedure approved by the state’s highest court.
The justices’ action involved an arcane voting practice but carried outsize importance because of Pennsylvania’s pivotal role in the presidential election. It prompted a fierce battle between the state’s Democrats and Republicans.
It also showed a precariously balanced Supreme Court, which has only eight members after the death last month of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the potential importance of President Trump’s nominee to replace her, Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
The court was tied on the Republican request, which means the effort failed.
The court’s four most conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh — said they would have granted the stay.
Neither side explained its reasoning, which often is the case with emergency requests. But the outcome underscored the decisive role Barrett could play if she is confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate — with a vote there expected as soon as next week. Trump has said he wants his nominee on the court in case it is split on litigation arising from the election.
That, in turn, has prompted calls from Democrats that Barrett pledge to recuse herself from election cases. She declined to say at her confirmation hearings last week what she would do so if faced with such a decision.
The Supreme Court had considered the Republican request for nearly two weeks, indicating that an attempt at compromise might have failed.
Monday’s order was the latest in a string of election procedure battles waged in the states between Democrats and Republicans.
Previously, the court sided with South Carolina Republicans and said most mail-in ballots there must contain a witness’s signature, something federal courts had said should be waived because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The litigation is often over seemingly small details — but ones that could make a difference in close races.
Pennsylvania has particular significance because it is crucial to Trump’s reelection fortunes. He defeated Hillary Clinton there in 2016 by 44,000 votes, or less than one percentage point.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in Democrats’ favor last month on a number of mail-voting rules: permitting voters to turn in ballots via dropbox in addition to using the U.S. Postal Service; allowing ballots to be returned up to three days after Election Day; and blocking a Republican effort to allow partisan poll watchers to be stationed in counties where they do not live.
Pennsylvania’s Republican legislators and the state GOP asked the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in only on the ruling pushing back the deadline for mail ballots to arrive. The state court said such ballots must be counted if they are postmarked by Nov. 3 — and even if no postmark is discernible, “unless a preponderance of the evidence” shows that the ballots were mailed after Election Day.
“In a year where there is a very real possibility that the final presidential election result hinges on Pennsylvania, the new rules imposed by the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania (a body elected in partisan elections) could destroy the American public’s confidence in the electoral system as a whole,” said the stay request filed by the Republican leaders.
The state Supreme Court decision was based on a clause in the commonwealth’s constitution mandating that “all aspects of the electoral process in Pennsylvania be open and unrestricted so as not to disenfranchise Pennsylvania voters,” the state’s Democratic attorney general, Josh Shapiro, said in defending the state court decision.
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision protected that right and brought much needed clarity to the exigent circumstances surrounding a global pandemic,” Shapiro wrote. “In doing so, that court ensured that Pennsylvanians would not be forced to choose between exercising their right to vote and protecting their health.”
He rejected Republicans’ claim that the decision essentially extended voting beyond Election Day and said it was a key aspect of federalism that states decide how to run their elections.
Pennsylvania lawmakers said the decision takes away the power of legislatures to set election rules. The changes are tied to challenges of the pandemic, they said, but “the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania’s own special master found that COVID-19 is not likely to disrupt the November General Election ballot receipt deadline.”
While the U.S. Supreme Court is often skeptical of federal judges changing rules during an election, it would have been rare for the court to intervene when a state court was interpreting the state’s constitution and laws. That makes the tie vote surprising, considering it was the court’s conservatives who were ready to stop the state court.
A coalition of Republican lawyers and officials from previous administrations had warned the court in an amicus brief that would be a mistake.
They said that a denial of the stay request “by the broadest majority possible will benefit this court, our country, and its precious tradition of the peaceful retention or transfer of power.” Former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge (R) was among those who signed the brief.
The cases are Scarnati v. Boockvar and Republican Party v. Boockvar.

21stcenturywire--2020-10-21--Trump’s Fault? The ‘Covid Killer’ Claim by His Opponents That Defies Reason

Ever since the Democratic Party nominated its ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election , together , with their media operatives , have made it central to their campaign message to brazenly lay at the feet of incumbent President Donald Trump the ‘ over 200,000 COVID deaths ’ – a spurious claim , by any reasonable standard , that has gone virtually unchallenged by mainstream media and even many Republicans seeking to ‘ distance ’ themselves from the President .

It’s as if the claim, which borders on insanity and is devoid of any logic or real evidence, has been generally accepted as the truth across wide swaths of the country. The Democrats’ own platform says it in no uncertain terms:
“Make no mistake: President Trump’s abject failure to respond forcefully and capably to the COVID-19 pandemic—his failure to lead—makes him responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.“
As early as May of this year, Jeff Bezo’s Washington Post had already rendered its verdict in a ‘death counter’ report with a matter-of-fact headline that read, “Trump’s covid-19 inaction killed Americans. Here’s a counter that shows how many.”
IMAGE: It’s very much the ‘Trump virus’ versus the ‘China virus’ this election season.
If the notion of sending ‘tens of thousands’ of Americans to their death is supposed to conjure up images of some kind of sick death march, that is exactly what Trump’s opponents are hoping to convey to voters in the 2020 election.
Ironically, just a day before the aforementioned WashPo’s journalistic murder conviction of Trump, it was none other than the recently censored New York Post that published a scathing rebuke of NY Governor Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous and lethal nursing home policy — a policy that did in fact lead to thousands of dead elderly people in his state’s care.

In a recent episode of the “Conversations with Coleman” podcast, host Coleman Hughes, a Manhattan Institute fellow and contributing editor at City Journal, speaks with establishment academic and author Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and senior faculty fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard.
Ferguson offers this surprising take on the question of whether the effects of the COVID-19 crisis in the U.S. are Trump’s fault:
“There’s actually very little evidence to support those claims. It’s very clear that the failure that produced bad outcomes in terms of excess mortality […] that those failures were not really and can’t be attributed to the men or women at the top…they were failures of the public health bureaucracy.”
In the current political and media climate, as election day quickly approaches, it would seem that every public health official, including all the ‘white coat’ bureaucrats, along with all the political leaders in every state, county and city in the country have been completely absolved of any responsibility when it comes to the COVID ‘death toll’ — and that’s an incredibly audacious plank of ‘truth’ to stand on.
This is an important conversation to be having at this moment in the country’s history; and yet, amazingly, you can barely find it happening anywhere in the public discourse.
Are the effects of COVID-19 Trump’s fault? Watch:
If we’ve learned anything about the politicization of COVID these past nine months, it’s that media ‘spin’ rooms might as well have padded walls.
