In addition to their other charms, Our Rulers have cornered the market on gall.
Exhibit A: I was comfortably ensconced on my sofa, paging through the print edition of the local (Marxist) rag when I spied this headline: “Authoritarianism advances as world battles the pandemic.”
I nearly leapt to my feet in exultation! At last!!!! Some brave reporter in the mainstream was going to rip the lid off COVIDCon!
But I should have known better. My joy turned to incredulity as I read paragraphs of utter brazenness from the Associated Press:
Here’s some of what happened while the world was distracted by the coronavirus: Hungary banned the public depiction of homosexuality. … Poland’s conservative government has chipped away at the rights of women and gay people.
Not once did the piece condemn the enslaving of whole countries to medical dictatorship, with businesses and churches summarily closed and masked serfs cowering in their homes. No, it was instead lamenting that Marxism has not completely triumphed everywhere.
Reckon with the insolence of the Associated Press, whose propaganda has tirelessly hyped the plandemic for the last 18 months, daring to lament the rise of “authoritarianism.”
David Mueller sent me the second nauseating example. Seems the Wicked Witch of Michigan, who almost single-handedly destroyed the state’s mom-and-pop shops last year, tweeted, “In honor of MI Small Business Summer & Buy Michigan Week, I’m interested in hearing about your favorite Michigan small businesses. Share yours below.”
Is there no limit to her shamelessness?
Kudos to the Libertarian Party of Michigan, which responded, “Every business which defied your authoritarianism over the last 16 months gets our nomination.”
When the revolution comes, no scaffold will be high enough to expunge such effrontery.
