Eerily prescient

 A friend downloaded this from the web on July 17, 2020.  He doesn’t know where he got it so I am unable to provide attribution.  If anyone knows who wrote it, please let me know so I can give credit where it’s due.  But read it and think about it.  We’re on this road. The few politicians that give a shit are unable to do anything because they are outnumbered.  The ones who aren’t deliberately evil are being led like lemmings by those who are.  They can’t help us.  They claim ‘Muh Science’ without any science.  The below sums it up better than I can.

Listen up buttercup!!!!
“It’s just a MASK, you guys. Don’t be a jerk. It’s for the greater good!”
“It’s just a VACCINE, you guys. Don’t be a jerk. It’s for the greater good!”
In 4 months, the U.S. transformed into an obedient socialist country. Government dictated what events are acceptable to attend. Violent protests that instill fear are OK but church services, family funerals and patriotic celebrations are dangerous. And you bought it without a fight.
Standing in a graduation line is a “safety hazard”. Small businesses were forced to close but crowds to support the corporate money machine at WalMart, Lowes and Home Depot are OK.
Come on. It’s “just a mask” & “safety precautions”.
How about a little hush money. Here’s $2,400 that we stole out of your pay check in the first place. Enjoy. Buy something with it. From a big corporation.
Cash is dirty. We can’t give change. There’s a coin shortage. Use your card.  In 4 months, they convinced you to use a traceable card for everything.
In less than 4 months, government closed public schools then “restructured” education under the guise of “public safety”. In less than 4 months, our government demonstrated how easily people assimilate to “guidelines” that have NO scientific premise whatsoever when you are fearful.
In less than 4 months, our government successfully instilled fear in a majority of the population in America that allows them to control every aspect of your life. Including what you eat, where you go, who you see and your toilet paper.
And the most dangerous and terrifying part? People are not afraid of the government who removed their freedom. They’re afraid of their neighbors, family and friends.
And they hate those who won’t comply.
It’s absolutely terrifying to me that so many people don’t question “authority”. They are willing to surrender their critical thinking skills and independence. They just… gave up without thinking. Without a fight.
Do you know what’s coming next?
“It’s just a vaccine. Come on. It’s for the greater good”.
Wait until you’re told that you can’t enter any store or business without proof of the Covid-19 vaccine. Wait until you can’t go to public events or get on a plane without proof of receiving the vaccine.
To everyone that doesn’t believe this is possible – DO YOU UNDERSTAND that government successfully dictated to people WHEN they were allowed to be outside, where they were allowed to go, and how their children would be educated in less than 4 months? And that a majority of the population followed blindly because they were told to do so.
You’re kidding yourself if you think this behavior won’t be repeated with a vaccine. Or whatever the next step is.
“I don’t follow politics.”
“Who cares about that stuff?”
“I don’t like to think about it.”
6 million Jews were exterminated in Germany because 97% of the population cowered to populist control. Nobody wanted to think about it. It’s easier to just ignore it.
But that couldn’t happen here, right?
They got you. Without a thought. Without a fight. Just like France. Just like Russia. Just like China. Welcome, comrade.

  2. This is spot on. I tend to stay home if I am not working. Can't stand having to listen to the PA announcements at the stores spouting the “we are all in this together” nonsense. Reminding me, a full grown adult, to wear a mask and wash my hands. Sorry, I am not two years old. I don't need to be told when to wash my hands and how far to stand away from somebody. If some lemming feels wearing a mister coffee coffee filter over their mouth is keeping them safe, I feel sorry for their gullibility. I wear the mandated garb wear signage is out of respect for the business owner, I just limit my outings to places I HAVE to go for necessities. I have ordered more online this year than I EVER have. Not out of fear, but out of not wanting to wear a muzzle to acquire things I can wait a few days for. I know, local businesses suffer, but maybe they should not force the masks then. One resale shop I am fond of does not enforce a mask mandate. Indiana has a mandate in place. I drop by his place twice a week.
