AMEN!!

“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded—and once they are suspended it is not difficult for anyone who has assumed such emergency powers to see to it that the emergency will persist.”

—F. A. Hayek, “Law, Legislation, & Liberty”

This article makes a great complement to the piece I just published calling on Ron Johnson to sponsor #MakePharmaLiable, #RememberBabyAlex, and #PutPeopleOverPharma legislation:

• “Letter to Senator Ron Johnson” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-senator-ron-johnson)

I credit attorney Jeff Childers with the brilliant strategy outlined in #MakePharmaLiable, which I believe strikes at the jugular of the pharmaceutical companies by removing all liability shields. The injection pogrom would collapse on impact as they would never survive the tidal wave of lawsuits.

Exactly right on all counts. A few days ago, I went to establish care with a new PCP. There was a sign on the door about masking and they practically put it on for me. When done, I went to the radiology building next door and no masks were required. A few days later, I came for labs, walked in to a large empty room, spent some time talking to the employee who finally casually handed me a mask. When I go to work in a medical facility, 90% of the staff are just refusing to comply with the masking rule because everyone now knows it is ridiculous and the other 10% are just nervous about getting in trouble. Let's end the madness.

FDR should have said "We have nothing to fear but government fear campaigns and emergency measures".

It is time to end ALL emergency measures and legislation supporting them. They are nothing but a way to give governments carte blanche and to destroy civil society.

Not only end this one but end State of Emergency powers period. The government gets its power from the Constitution and I'm still not finding where in there it states the Constitution can be suspended or where the Executive can be granted such powers. Truth is, its not there and there is no legal allowance to do so, they just did so. This feature of our current system needs to be rolled back hard and kept in a closet or we will never see the end of this.

And think about what was done to keep the SoE, they blocked early treatments and let people die, because if early treatments had been acknowledged and used, no state of emergency, no emergency use authorization, no warp speed, no Maga Jabs and no Biden Boosters and no stupid worthless masks.

Please all who have not yet done so, wake up to the fact that our government is totally out of check.

Here is tragedy—and here is America. For the curse of the country, as well of all democracies, is precisely the fact that it treats its best men as enemies. The aim of our society, if it may be said to have an aim, is to iron them out. The ideal American, in the public sense, is a respectable vacuum.

o "More Tips for Novelists" in the Chicago Tribune (2 May 1926)

• The truth, indeed, is something that mankind, for some mysterious reason, instinctively dislikes. Every man who tries to tell it is unpopular, and even when, by the sheer strength of his case, he prevails, he is put down as a scoundrel.

o Chicago Tribune (23 May 1926)

• The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line. The objection to it is not that it is predominantly painful, but that it is lacking in sense.

o Baltimore Evening Sun (9 August 1926)

• No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.

H.L. Mencken 1926

The entire covid operation has been an enormous success financially and politically for Pharma, the Rockefeller Foundation, Gates and other globalists, and all those corrupted by globalists - politicians, universities, medical boards, government agencies, media, etc. These "powers that be" aren't about to give up this financial and political power. They'll milk this operation for all they can, for as long as they can. While they develop the next falsely inflated pandemic (refer to Catastrophic Contagion table top simulation run in October).

When the (un)Affordable Care Act was enacted, in 2010, medicine changed.

"It is time we move on from the pandemic and get back to life as normal." Ain't going to happen with the democrats/liberals in office, even Senator Cornyn R-TX voted for the 1.8 Trillion Omnibus package.

Absolutely Disgraceful and Corrupt!

This is the plan of the democrats/liberals "to continue to careen out of control on health policy, pandemic response, corruption and fiscal irresponsibility." Could it be the expansion of Medicaid is for the millions crossing our borders to destroy our economy, to destroy the USA?

The democrats/liberals will never vote for fiscal responsibility.

What? And give up immunity through dictatorial "emergency" orders?

Only IFFFFFF those We The People types make us obey.

"25 governors call for end of pandemic" means 25 did not. That reflects the even division across the country. We have a lot of work to do. Convince your neighbors.

Your work is of such high quality; so thorough and thoughtful. Many thanks

Unfortunately none of these decisions were made based on real world data. And that continues to be the case. In addition, we have an idiot in the WH.

And that is why this is no longer a left vs right issue although many on the right have recognized this as early as March of 2020 while the left and many in academia have dragged their feet in absolute disbelief. It is this dragging of the feet however that has slowed down the unifying of one voice coming together to say ‘enough is enough’. Thanks to Naomi Wolfe and others of her stature, the elite are slowly awakening from their stupor, but will it be in time or will we fall to the same prey as our brothers and sisters have in Canada where Trudeau has absolute dictatorial power. It has happened here in Washington state and it will start to happen in the rest of the states if allowed to continue. Please wake up--we need everyone to stand together.

Windows on what was 100 yrs ago…never actually went away to anywhere in particular.

Dr. McC... Thanks for your tireless voice through the "long emergency". Every USG declared emergency has been enacted illegally during my lifetime and they are never ended. The Ruling Psychopathy NEVER gives up on its "emergencies" once declared. They will not surrender their expanded powers of control and looting of the planet that are the real reasons for these things in the first place.

War on "communism"/"socialism"/every nation that resists US hegemony

War on Drugs...

War on Terror...

War on COVID...

War on Humankind...

Orwell's "boot in the face forever" is upon us.

But, it is Christmas and the season marks a time of Hope and we must stay the course...

Peace to All.
