The Masks Have Fallen, But You'll Still Have to Wear One

Nearly three years into this pandemic, which despite its malign origins in a Chi-Com bioweapons lab aided and abetted by the American Mengele, Anthony Fauci was mercifully for most people nothing more than really bad flu, the weaponization of the disease into a political weapon has proven to be devastating.

Yet, in this link from Breitbart about what is some sort of Maoist organization demanding mask mandates because, racism! or some such rotgut, a very interesting little nugget jumped out at me.

Profiled at length in the New Yorker, the People’s CDC can best be described as a “ragtag coalition of academics, doctors, activists, and artists who believe that the government has left them to fend for themselves.” Founded by Mindy Thompson Fullilove, a professor of urban policy and health at the New School, the group has thousands of supporters who receive weekly newsletters and emails highlighting the latest pandemic trends while advocating stricter policies. . .

. . . While the group puts up a science-oriented front on its website, the rhetoric from some of its top members suggests Marxist leanings. For instance, not only does the group claim that the CDC relaxed pandemic policies to appease corporate interests under President Joe Biden’s leadership, but it also suggests that those relaxed policies had racist intent. Per the New Yorker:

The People’s C.D.C. strongly supports mask mandates, and they have called on federal, state, and local governments to put them back in place, arguing that “the vaccine-only strategy promoted by the CDC is insufficient.” The group has noted that resistance to masks is most common among white people: Lucky Tran, who organizes the coalition’s media team, recently tweeted a YouGov survey supporting this, and wrote that “a lot of anti-mask sentiment is deeply embedded in white supremacy.”

This kind of accusation is common for the People’s C.D.C. Their messaging has the unmistakable inflection of activist-speak, marked by a willingness to make eye-popping claims about the motivations of politicians, corporations, or anyone in power. “To name it clearly, the CDC’s policies are eugenic,” the Weather Report team wrote, in August. “They rely on and promote the indefensible stance that disabled and elderly, poor and working class people are disposable, unworthy of care, and unworthy of participation in society.” Eugenic policies have a long and ugly history, commonly associated with the Nazis, white supremacists, and others who advocate the racial purification of humanity. I asked Thill whether she truly believes that the C.D.C. is eugenicist, along these lines. “Just because a charge is difficult or impactful doesn’t make it a wrong charge,” she said.

The People’s CDC rejects the notion that individuals should be free to make their own choices about the coronavirus after enough information has been disseminated. In one Zoom meeting, Zoey Thill, a family physician in Brooklyn, said that individual risk assessment essentially means telling certain people in society to stay inside forever while granting a free pass to everyone else.

“When we say, ‘Do your individual risk assessment and plan accordingly,’ that says to certain people, ‘Stay inside forever—for fucking ever!’ ” she said. “For me, it’s about countering that. It’s about saying, ‘No, that’s not O.K.’”

Did you catch that nugget I mentioned? Here it is:

“[a] ragtag coalition of academics, doctors, activists, and artists who believe that the government has left them to fend for themselves.”

Give that fool a kewpie doll! That, my friends, is the exact essence (minus the twisted logic) of what the American system of government and the ordering of our society was intended to be by our Founders.

The complete bastardization and demonization of individual liberty as somehow an evil lie is perhaps one of the most egregious and insidious blood-libels inflicted on us. Be it the death of the meritocracy all the way to the institution of the permanent welfare state with government as father, mother and in the end God/deity to be obeyed, that's what the end game is all about. Total submission via total dependency.
