If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools

The Rochester, New York, appeals courtroom scene last week was absolutely riveting. The state was appealing the lower court's decision against Governor Kathy Hochul's quarantine camp law. The law granted power to the state to seal anyone in an apartment or take them to a camp without evidence of infection or exposure, without due process, and with no termination date. In other words, the law was totalitarian.
Governments like this never like to have any power taken away, so they appealed the decision. The plaintiff in the case is a New York legislator who was never allowed to v**e against the law. The winning attorney is Brownstone Fellow Bobbie Anne Cox. At the hearing, she gave a fiery denunciation of the state and a defense of human rights.
The striking part was the courtroom itself. The judges in black robes sat and listened, stone-faced and aloof, asking only a few questions during the argument. Every seat in the courtroom was filled. The people who came to support the right side spilled out into the hall and vestibule and, finally, out into the streets.
As the arguments ended, Bobbie Anne rose to leave and the audience erupted into wild applause. This grew as she entered the hallway. In the streets, she was cheered by 400 or more supporters as the media took interviews from the plaintiff.
The optics could not have been clearer. This was the people versus the power elite. There is only one answer to this law: it has to be struck down. Will it be? We await the answer. Will the elites keep forcing their will on the people, or will they give in?
These struggles are extremely difficult. Governments h**e giving up power. Getting it to happen is not just a matter of the law. It is also a reflection of media and public opinion, especially these days. They might acquiesce but they don't want to. The mood of the public is forcing a change.
In the last three years, the ruling class in the United States has been found out. They tipped their hand with outrageous deployments of grotesque power. They closed the schools without any real basis. They shut the churches. They imposed a deadly shot on unwilling takers who never needed them. They ruined millions of lives, traumatizing nearly everyone, and for a v***s that for most people was not a medically significant threat.
The shock and awe alone kept people quiet for nearly a year. But then the realization that we had all been s**mmed dawned. They took away our rights and liberties under false pretenses, created a f**e crisis, and then used that crisis to deploy a dystopian model of social and economic organization on which no one ever v**ed.
The growing incredulity turned from doubt to suspicion to anger to fury. It is growing by the day. That an appeals court decision in Rochester could turn out many hundreds of people, with no media attention at all, is extremely telling. But it is only one tiny slice of the growing mass movement.
We see it in New Mexico, where the attempted gun grab has become a genuine crisis for the governor. We see it in California where judges, fearing public anger, are overturning v*****e mandates. We even see it in the union protests against the big automakers. These strikers are mostly objecting to the production of unprofitable EVs and the deprecation of what they do best and what consumers actually want: real cars that burn gas.
We see it further in the White House's appeal to the Supreme Court for the injunction against the bullying of social media companies. They are still demanding the right to censor. They won't let it be taken away even by a federal court. They are behaving like a junta that has seized control and won't let go.
It's becoming the many against the few. And we know precisely who the few are. They are an elite group of media figures, public health officials, intelligence agencies, tech companies, and deep state actors at all levels of government. They preened on the national stage for three years, going on about their great plans for your life.
Now they are increasingly in hiding, fearful of the angry public. They are both wildly paranoid and truly terrified probably far more than they should be. They are using every mechanism appeals, smears, cancellations, and dirty tricks galore to keep the public at bay while keeping their powers.
