Some may recall that when there first emerged an inkling that a medical emergency requiring national action began in February of this year, there was initially skepticism among many, especially in the media, about the potential seriousness.  In fact, the usual political and media sources chided the US President for acting in an irresponsible manner by restricting travel from the virus’ source, China, citing the usual claims of racism.

Now, 6 months into the ‘pandemic’, the media are hysterically reporting about Covid as if it was the worst pandemic in history with daily infection counts running like baseball scores on their screens.  Now they are all about restrictions and lockdowns.  Restrictions and prohibitions on people’s lives have become even more severe, not less as you would expect if the danger period was 14 days and the effects of crowd immunization were allowed to work their way through a population.  In fact the restrictions and prohibitions don’t appear to have any end in sight, even as the survival rate by those afflicted with the ailment is over 99%.   The ‘experts’ in the medical community have flip flopped numerous times on the efficacy of a number of balms including the wearing of masks…or not, to face shields and eye protection to full out space suits for the really paranoid.  There is on going talk about a second wave.  Why not a third?

And yet there is ample evidence that an effective treatment for Covid already exists.  Many in the practicing medical community  insist that hydroxychloroquine, an effective and inexpensive drug used to treat malaria, has a stellar record of treatment and preventative properties to address Covid.

Despite the earnest entreaties of numerous outspoken physicians, their views have been marginalized and purposefully deleted from public view.  Apparently, only a vaccine will suffice as the ultimate fix.  Never mind that there has never been a vaccine to fix any flu, or that any such vaccine may be way off into the future given the standard pharma protocols.  Thus, a large community of practicing doctors is overruled by a bureaucrat who has not treated a patient in 40 years and effectively places the world on hold with his inconsistent utterances.

Even as numerous nations such as Sweden and Finland have elected to go with saner policies for their societies with no appreciably higher mortality statistics, in North America, the climate of fear continues to be propagated by politicians and the media.  People who advocate hiding under beds are hailed as heroes rather than the destroyers of society they really are.

If we itemize the draconian measures that have been imposed upon the people to save them, we arrive at a list which is in fact quite the opposite of saving the people.

No going to work

No going to school

No going to church

No parties and concerts

No sports events

No going to weddings

No funerals (unless political)

No going to restaurants

Close businesses

Mandatory masks

No travelling (unless political)

No going to the beach

No gathering in large groups (unless rioting)

14 day quarantine for travelers (unless attending political funeral)

It’s hard to believe that after 6 months of this bumbling and destructive narrative that people still believe that their best interests are being looked after by their political appointees.  This is gaslighting on an epic scale. The list above looks like a roster of rules for a communist gulag. Let’s not forget that the majority of people who get voted into office that make these rules are bureaucrats of the worst kind, having done nothing else in their lives but run for office.  Even worse, many of those are lawyers whose worldviews are shaped only by issues of liability.

The misguided policies that most politicos are pushing today will have long term adverse impact upon their constituents. The only good thing that can come of this on-going man made tragedy is that the vacant minds that pretended to set constructive public policy will be outed as the vacuous demagogues that they are.  The real threat to society’s health is allowing such morons to control the lives of gullible people.  Toss them all out…and their little masks too.

Of all the things you could accuse a person of being in modern times, a racist has somehow taken the top spot.  Not sure how that happened.  If you consider the admonishments of the classic ten commandments of human behavior widely accepted in the western world as being the standard, racism doesn’t make an appearance, even as an addendum.

So in our present day society, being a racist is a charge far more severe than to be labelled a murderer, a thief, a liar, an adulterer, a greedy person, a lazy person or a covetous one. That’s not to say that being racist is less reprehensible, but it just doesn’t rank up there with the classics.  I might add that being a lawyer also merits a place in the list of reprehensibles, but that has yet to make it into popular discourse.

Unlike the classic reprehensible behaviors however, the accusation of racism is quite vague and especially in today’s partisan environment, quite suspect.  An accusation doesn’t require any real evidence and thus anything can be construed as a racist event.  This is quite convenient for accusers since there is no need to produce a body as in a murder accusation or stolen goods as in accusations of theft.  Virtually any act or perceived micro-aggression can be instances of racism as long as the accuser is not white.  Satire merges with reality as every possible human activity can express a racist bent including hard work, saving money, or mowing lawns.

The most recent conscript into this whirlpool of racist activity is sleeping.  The “argument” is that depriving blacks of sleep versus their white counterparts actually shortens the lives of blacks and is therefore systemically oppressive.  If we accept this argument as rational, the logical thing would be to find some ways to even out the sleep imbalances.  Of course in today’s environment, that’s preposterous.  The only way to fix this vile racist activity is through financial reparations.  This balm is like duct tape, it fixes everything.  There’s no social wrong that’s so terrible that a check or cash equivalent can’t fix.

The label of racism is still abhorrent to many and most would push back to deny such accusations.  The question is why.  The accusation has no real bite since it’s been so watered down over the decades.  It’s as if you called someone a jughead.  Meh.  When the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson made racism into a lucrative industry of extortion, they created a template for future generations of effective emulators.  Affirmative action is ironically the most racist policy to result from decades of racism bleats. We have people such as the illiterate babbling Maxine Waters who built an entire lengthy career based on nothing more than leveling charges of racism at anyone who is dumb enough to pay attention. We have political candidates with no useful skills who run solely on the message of racism as if bringing duct tape to fix an imaginary leak.   These opportunists never reveal that, next to African dictators, American blacks are the most prosperous in the world populating the top echelons of business, sports and media.  If that’s evidence of racism, it explains the hordes trying to get into the US illegally vying to get their share of discrimination.

For decades, the struggle was for ‘equality’ and exhortations of humanity above all.  That quaint message has morphed into the message that all whites are naturally racist, everything they do is racist; their society, their institutions, their churches, their food, their sports, their manner of dress, their education, their hair, their music and of course, the aforementioned sleep regimens.  It’s not about equality anymore, it’s about superiority.

Accusations of racism no longer have any basis in validity.  Even for the most bleeding heart liberals, the ever expanding list of ‘racist’ behavior has become Monty Python-esque. There are those who are finally realizing that this is no longer an black/white issue; it’s all about the green.
