Americans who refused to say “No!” in the first place now find themselves in a quagmire of incremental authoritarianism that risks becoming a full-on police state in 2021. Now that Thanksgiving has been desecrated for millions, what will Technocrats do to destroy Christmas?

America’s C****-** Restrictions Go Full Authoritarian
Stacey Lennox ~ November 27, 2020
For folks in the Sunbelt and other places that still feel like America, the C****-** holiday restrictions seem more than a little over the top. In Los Angeles, restaurants are shuttering at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Eve and may only provide take-out. This was announced after proprietors had ordered all of the necessary inventory for their Thanksgiving reservations and spent thousands to modify their facilities.

This is despite the fact the L.A. Department of Health has no data on the t***smission of C****-** in outdoor dining facilities. The Board of Supervisors admitted as much during a call on Tuesday. Supervisor Janice Hahn noted the severe community pushback that the board has been getting. She voiced concerns that the public was losing confidence and trust in the Board’s decisions. Gee, you think?

However, if you live in New York City, what is going on in Los Angeles seems low-key. America’s worst mayor, Bill de Blasio, has decided he will be placing checkpoints at the entrances to the city. These will be operated by law enforcement to strictly enforce the travel quarantine:

The city’s regulations mandate that travelers either quarantine for 14 days or take a C****-** test to prove they don’t have the v***s. Violations of self-quarantine will be enforced, and may carry fines of $1,000 to $2,000, according to the mayor’s office.

And there are forms! Like the forms you fill out when you go through customs when returning from a foreign country, you will be required to produce your papers when you enter New York City:

New York City Sheriff Joseph Fucito said the sheriff’s office will be conducting spot checks when out-of-state buses drop riders off. In addition, deputies will check cars with out-of-state – and even New York – licenses plates. Test-and-trace teams will also be on the ground to help direct people to testing sites while providing “education” about quarantine, MSN.com reported.

“The city will enforce the completion of traveler forms at airports, Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. There will be self-test site teams on site,” the news site said.


It won’t be long before there are checkpoints that prevent residents from leaving New York City. Mayor de Blasio might want to note that his tax base is fleeing, and they are not coming back:

According to statistics obtained by the New York Post, there have been about 300,000 requests from the USPS for a change of address since March. It appears that most of the requests are from people planning to move out of the city — many, out of the state.

Earlier this summer, Governor Andrew Cuomo was pleading with wealthy residents to return. He even offered to cook them dinner. But even that is verboten now as there are guidelines about gathering indoors with people from other households. Even the governor had to go a bit sheepish when his plans to spend Thanksgiving with his elderly mother and other family members were discovered.

Perhaps the most disturbing plan has been hatched in Vermont. I guess the state that has elected socialist Bernie Sanders to the Senate for decades has decided to go full Stalin. Children will be questioned about their Thanksgiving holiday activities, and families may be required to quarantine if they dare to dine with people from another household.

As of November 14, “Republican” Governor Phil Scott has banned gatherings between households:

This includes both inside and outside social gatherings, in public and private spaces. This means that visitors to Vermont can only socialize with the people they are traveling with. They cannot gather with Vermonters or with people from another traveling group.

Right now, this will operate on the honors system, according to state officials. This extreme measure was taken as a result of 81 new cases statewide yesterday, 20 people in the hospital, and five in the ICU. The case positivity rate is 1.4% of tests.

And asking children about family activities starts to sound just a bit eerie. In Soviet Russia, a 13-year-old boy named Pavlik Morozov became a martyr for informing on his father:

“His name must not die,” declared the writer Maxim Gorky, and Pavlik became a C*******t folk hero, one of the first models of Soviet behavior held up to schoolchildren for emulation.

He is portrayed as the martyr who put the state above old fashioned loyalties, a Pioneer hero whose statue and school in the village of Gerasimovka, in the northern Urals’ Tavda district, draw legions of youthful pilgrims, and whose story is recounted in books and newspapers. A Moscow street is named for him, and his name is borne by countless chapters of the Young Pioneers, the C*******t children’s organization.


Perhaps a young resident of Vermont will be lauded for saving all of the grandmas. In reality, every adult in the state is competent to make decisions about protecting vulnerable family members without such onerous regulation.

By way of example, Georgia runs somewhere between 7% and 8.5% positivity rates on testing. Some people are gathering with others. Those who prefer to be more cautious are making other plans. There will be traditional Thanksgiving Eve debauchery when our college students, who are going to school in person in the state, come home. Reading what other states are doing simply has Georgians shaking their heads.

I can’t wait to see what these tin-pot authoritarians come up with to ruin Christmas. And when the people they are attempting to rule will finally have enough.

Johns Hopkins Study Saying C****-** Has 'Relatively No Effect on Deaths' in U.S. Deleted After Publication
Matt Margolis ~ November 27, 2020
Conventional wisdom is that C****-** has caused thousands of deaths in the United States and nearly 1.5 million worldwide. This perception was directly challenged by a study published by Johns Hopkins University on November 22 that critically analyzed the impact that C****-** had on U.S. deaths.

The analysis revealed that the impact of C****-** on deaths in the United States can be fully understood by comparing it to the number of total deaths in the country. According to the study:

• In contrast to most people’s assumptions.
• The number of deaths by C****-** is not alarming.
• In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States.

Wait, what?

Really?

That’s what it says!

And, it should come as no surprise that the study was deleted within days.

So, how exactly did the study conclude that C****-** has had “relatively no effect on deaths?”

Here’s how the study made this determination:

• After retrieving data on the CDC website.
• A graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September was compiled.
• Which included the period from before C****-** was detected in the U.S.
• To after infection rates soared.
• Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after C****-**.
• Since C****-** mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups.
• However, this increase was not seen from the CDC data.
• In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remained relatively the same.

According to the study the reason we have a higher number of reported C****-** deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. olde individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals. The analysis found that the range of deaths amongst the older population has remained within the range of past years.

So, if C****-** has actually had no significant impact on U.S. deaths, why does it not appear that way?

To answer that question, focus was shifted to the deaths per causes ranging from 2014 to 2020.

There was a sudden increase in deaths in 2020 due to C****-**. This is no surprise because C****-** emerged in the U.S. in early 2020. And thus C****-**-related deaths increased drastically afterward.

Analysis of deaths per cause in 2018 revealed that the pattern of seasonal increase in the total number of deaths is a result of the rise in deaths by all causes with the top three being heart disease, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia. This is true every year. Every year in the U.S. when we observe the seasonal ups and downs we have an increase of deaths due to all causes.

Here’s where things get interesting.

When the 2020 data during that seasonal period was looked at C****-**-related deaths exceeded deaths from heart diseases. This was highly unusual since heart disease has always prevailed as the leading cause of deaths. However, when taking a closer look at the death numbers something strange was noted. As the number of deaths per cause during that period in 2020 to 2018 was compared. Instead of the expected drastic increase across all causes there was a significant decrease in deaths due to heart disease.

Even more surprising, this sudden decline in deaths is observed for all other causes. The study found that “This trend is completely contrary to the pattern observed in all previous years.” In fact, “the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by C****-**.” This strongly suggests that the C****-** death toll in the United States is misleading and that deaths from other diseases are being categorized as C****-** deaths.

There have been reports of inflated C****-** deaths numbers for months. Patients who never tested positive for the disease had C****-** as their cause of death on their death certificates. In May, Jared Polis, the Democrat governor of Colorado, disputed official c****av***s death counts saying even those of the CDC were inflated as the result of including people who tested positive for the c****av***s but died of other causes. In July, a fatal motorcycle accident victim was listed as a C****-** death. And we’ve all heard more.

On November 26, Johns Hopkins University tweeted:

Though making clear the need for further research, the article was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the p******c. We regret that this article may have contributed to the spread of misinformation about C****-**.

It's amazing how much permanent damage a single l*****t can do when he is elected to the top spot in any political hierarchy.

New York v**ers have no one to blame but themselves for DeBlasio, and deserve everything they get. Those who can't afford to leave are suffering the most -- I hope they educate themselves thoroughly before they v**e for the next mayor. If they elect another Democrat, oh, well...

For folks in the Sunbelt and other places that still feel like America, the C****-** holiday restrictions seem more than a little over the top. In Los Angeles, restaurants are shuttering at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Eve and may only provide take-out. This was announced after proprietors had ordered all of the necessary inventory for their Thanksgiving reservations and spent thousands to modify their facilities.

This is despite the fact the L.A. Department of Health has no data on the t***smission of C****-** in outdoor dining facilities. The Board of Supervisors admitted as much during a call on Tuesday. Supervisor Janice Hahn noted the severe community pushback that the board has been getting. She voiced concerns that the public was losing confidence and trust in the Board’s decisions. Gee, you think?

However, if you live in New York City, what is going on in Los Angeles seems low-key. America’s worst mayor, Bill de Blasio, has decided he will be placing checkpoints at the entrances to the city. These will be operated by law enforcement to strictly enforce the travel quarantine:

The city’s regulations mandate that travelers either quarantine for 14 days or take a C****-** test to prove they don’t have the v***s. Violations of self-quarantine will be enforced, and may carry fines of $1,000 to $2,000, according to the mayor’s office.

And there are forms! Like the forms you fill out when you go through customs when returning from a foreign country, you will be required to produce your papers when you enter New York City:

New York City Sheriff Joseph Fucito said the sheriff’s office will be conducting spot checks when out-of-state buses drop riders off. In addition, deputies will check cars with out-of-state – and even New York – licenses plates. Test-and-trace teams will also be on the ground to help direct people to testing sites while providing “education” about quarantine, MSN.com reported.

“The city will enforce the completion of traveler forms at airports, Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. There will be self-test site teams on site,” the news site said.


It won’t be long before there are checkpoints that prevent residents from leaving New York City. Mayor de Blasio might want to note that his tax base is fleeing, and they are not coming back:

According to statistics obtained by the New York Post, there have been about 300,000 requests from the USPS for a change of address since March. It appears that most of the requests are from people planning to move out of the city — many, out of the state.

Earlier this summer, Governor Andrew Cuomo was pleading with wealthy residents to return. He even offered to cook them dinner. But even that is verboten now as there are guidelines about gathering indoors with people from other households. Even the governor had to go a bit sheepish when his plans to spend Thanksgiving with his elderly mother and other family members were discovered.

Perhaps the most disturbing plan has been hatched in Vermont. I guess the state that has elected socialist Bernie Sanders to the Senate for decades has decided to go full Stalin. Children will be questioned about their Thanksgiving holiday activities, and families may be required to quarantine if they dare to dine with people from another household.

As of November 14, “Republican” Governor Phil Scott has banned gatherings between households:

This includes both inside and outside social gatherings, in public and private spaces. This means that visitors to Vermont can only socialize with the people they are traveling with. They cannot gather with Vermonters or with people from another traveling group.

Right now, this will operate on the honors system, according to state officials. This extreme measure was taken as a result of 81 new cases statewide yesterday, 20 people in the hospital, and five in the ICU. The case positivity rate is 1.4% of tests.

And asking children about family activities starts to sound just a bit eerie. In Soviet Russia, a 13-year-old boy named Pavlik Morozov became a martyr for informing on his father:

“His name must not die,” declared the writer Maxim Gorky, and Pavlik became a C*******t folk hero, one of the first models of Soviet behavior held up to schoolchildren for emulation.

He is portrayed as the martyr who put the state above old fashioned loyalties, a Pioneer hero whose statue and school in the village of Gerasimovka, in the northern Urals’ Tavda district, draw legions of youthful pilgrims, and whose story is recounted in books and newspapers. A Moscow street is named for him, and his name is borne by countless chapters of the Young Pioneers, the C*******t children’s organization.


Perhaps a young resident of Vermont will be lauded for saving all of the grandmas. In reality, every adult in the state is competent to make decisions about protecting vulnerable family members without such onerous regulation.

By way of example, Georgia runs somewhere between 7% and 8.5% positivity rates on testing. Some people are gathering with others. Those who prefer to be more cautious are making other plans. There will be traditional Thanksgiving Eve debauchery when our college students, who are going to school in person in the state, come home. Reading what other states are doing simply has Georgians shaking their heads.

I can’t wait to see what these tin-pot authoritarians come up with to ruin Christmas. And when the people they are attempting to rule will finally have enough.

That's like trying to deal with a busted dam, by having morons with buckets catching the water and pouring it back in. Hey, this would have been a great Three Stooges gag.

"No one sick"? Good to hear your "little town" is all well. Ever heard of a little town called Los Angeles? Chicago? Miami? Houston? Plenty of sick people in those "towns" thanks to our "government".

Don't blame the government...

Citizens bear a large part of the responsibility as well...

You're right, CD. You asked earlier, "What's wrong with you folk"? By the government, I meant that seemingly half the country is following trump's lead and simply ignoring C***d. That is "what's wrong with us folk". It's almost like they want the v***s to stay around for as long as possible, or at least that they don't care if we get rid of it or not. Stunning, really. Disappointing too. Seems like they'd all want it gone like, yesterday. I know I do.

I hear you...

But be honest, if the right were pushing for lockdowns, the left would be against them..

That's true... Maybe I am trying to forget the starving kids I have seen, which I threw my meals out to. (C-Rats) and I went hungry... So what, I am still alive, They are not. DAMN THIS WORLD.....
