Rotten to the Core

Comrade Bill “Stalin” de Blabio of New York City has decreed that September—September, mind you, still 3½ months off—is the “natural point” to “re-open” Gotham:

“September is crucial,” de Blasio said. “That’s a real natural point to start reopening more if all goes well because that’s when everyone would normally come back from the summer.”

No doubt it’s mere coincidence that autumn is when Our Rulers plan to unleash–sorry, are predicting the next “wave” of coronavirus

Meanwhile, the plot to shred the First Amendment while spying on all of us 24/7 hurtles onward:

New York City will be manufacturing more than 60,000 test kits a week by early June and is working to hire and train 1,500 contact tracers in efforts to meet tracing capacity goals by mid-June, de Blasio said.

“We’re confident we’re going to get there,” said de Blasio. “There’s a real subtle balance that needs to be struck.”

There is? This ham-fisted despot claims his ham-fisted despotism is “subtle.” Only in New York.

But of course, we shouldn’t expect restoration of our (very limited) freedoms, oh, no:

… the Mayor warned meeting the city and state’s criteria — at which point a slow reopening will begin — would not mean a complete return to normal life.

“We gotta then make restrictions on how to loosen up,” de Blasio said. 

Love it! This guy is almost as incoherent and just as autocratic as Pelosi.

De Blabio continued:

“The most important role I play is to protect people’s health and safety.”

And there we have the crux of Progressive dictatorship. Yo, de Blabio: your only role is to defend our liberty. Period. The instant you “protect” anything else, including health and safety, you eviscerate freedom.

New Yorkers are, by and large, Marxist sheeple. Tyrants such as de Blabio hardly need invent new hobgoblins because his subjects worship government and eagerly cede their rights to it. Nonetheless, de Blabio has another monster waiting in the wings should COVID19 lose its luster:

…hospitals report more and more cases of Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, a potentially fatal disease the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed this weekend is linked to COVID-19.

Can you imagine the hysteria now? Fear of coronavirus combined with the reflexive “anything-for-the-children” excuse that Our Rulers have exploited for decades… All in all, the Big Apple should open for about eight hours on Labor Day before de Blabio shuts it again.
