No Return
The trust and thus the legitimacy of our government has been totally destroyed. What happens next?
As the world thankfully moves on from the Covid era, we are left examining the world as a strange mix of what we thought it was before Covid, what it actually was, and what it has become.
What sticks out the most is this: we have seen things in the past three years that permanently eroded our national cohesion via a direct assault on our founding principles. Consider:
U.S. gain of research funding was tied to the Wuhan laboratory that is almost certainly the origin of the original Covid-19 virus. (Source)
Once the virus reached our shores, most state governments pursued draconian measures to curtail movement and crucial freedoms. Travel was restricted, businesses were forced to close, and people were forced to muzzle up. (One Example: Source)
All this did nothing to stop Covid. But it did ruin the livelihoods of millions and incrementally drove tens of thousands toward drug overdoses. (One Example: Source)
Meanwhile, the Federal government under Trump did nothing to protect the rights of individuals and let states continue their mad assault on our rights.
Federal agencies then turned a blind eye (or two blind eyes) toward Pfizer and Moderna’s obviously dangerous products and let them gain approval. (Less Effective: Source, More Dangerous: Source)
Not content to stop there, the Federal Government, now under Biden, amassed an unprecedented propaganda campaign around the deadly shots, coercing everyone and not-so-subtlety saying that anyone who refused was a selfish, despicable kook. (One Example: Source)
The result of this was an evil moment in culture that demonized millions. On the edges this led to cases like the image below (Source), but millions were still ostracized by friends or family for personal medical choices:
Still not content, they pressured and even attempted to force employers to fire anyone who still refused to get a deadly shot. (Source)
The opposition party, supposedly in charge of bringing things like this to light was cowed by fear of being labeled “anti-vax” and silently went along with the insanity.
This led to even more discrimination against unvaccinated individuals: many cities implemented vaccine passports to exclude unvaccinated people from public spaces, they were denied organ transplants (One Example: Source), and more.
At current, the best available data suggests that this failed “vaccination” campaign has killed almost 400,000 Americans, many of whom were either tricked or forced to take the product that killed them. (Source).
Despite all of this, they continue unabashed. The CDC voted to add the Covid Vaccine to the recommended childhood vaccination schedule, which paves the way for certain states to mandate a dangerous and ineffective shot for a non-dangerous virus. (Source)
School boards and local governments everywhere did this to kids for two years (some even still are requiring masks) leading to drastic learning loss (Source):
Even today, we are still barring unvaccinated visitors to the U.S. - one of only a handful of countries still doing this cruel practice that keeps family and friends apart. (Source)
In summary, it looks like this:
Ask yourself this: can you really stand here passively and accept that the barbarians who did this are still in power, sitting comfortably at home, and unrepentant for the harms that they have done to the American people?
I can’t.
If all this doesn’t all amount to a total breach of the social contract, then I don’t know what does. You could chalk all of this up to a combination of gross incompetence and fear, or you could suspect that this is all part of a broader attempt by shadowy figures to engineer a more controlled and subdued populace.
Frankly, I don’t really give a damn which case is closer to the truth. Either way there is no going back to a quaint pre-2020 world in which government is a benevolent-but-incompetent force. Too much harm has been done. They are dangerously evil, dangerously incompetent, or some mixture of both.
There will be no “forgive and forget.” There will be no “Covid amnesty.”
Anyone who was a part of the government that led to this has their hands dirty in one of the worst assaults on American citizens in our ~250 years as a nation. Federal funding helped create a virus that killed over a million Americans, the initial response destroyed the livelihoods of millions of people, and then the “vaccination” campaign has killed at least 400,000 and injured many more.
We can’t return to a world where this breach did not happen. Thus, we only have the option to react and evolve.
The first step is to ensure that laws are passed at both the state and national level that are ironclad and prevent the ability of the government to ever do any of these things again. This will take time, but also isn’t enough.
Second, military tribunals must be held for all those involved in the crimes over the past three years. This would include but not be limited to:
Trump and Biden themselves
Most of the FDA, NIH, CDC, and many employees of Pfizer and Moderna
Almost every state Governor and their public health organizations: from Gavin Newsom in California to Greg Abbott in Texas
Tech executives at Twitter, Facebook, Google, and others who censored crucial information about helpful treatments and the dangers of the vaccines.
Anyone in a position of power who created or enforced a public or private sector vaccine mandate that coerced citizens or employees into getting the shot against their will.
The police officers who enforced the illegal laws and public health orders in most of these states.
Media and academic propagandists who used (and still use) blatantly faulty statistics to mislead the American people and foment fear
Punishments should be decided through that process, but the most severe options should be on the table for the worst perpetrators. Life in prison will be needed for the most egregious actors, while most would likely just face a large fine and some time of probation or house arrest. With few exceptions, the goal of this should not be punitive, but focused on accountability and ensuring that something like this never happens again.
That all may sound far-fetched at this point. But it is the only path forward that has a hope to restore trust and legitimacy to our Government. And so it is essential that this must happen. When Governments destroy the lives of millions, there must be accountability.
Without that, look back to the list of infractions up above. How on earth can you trust a government run by these people? Who in their right mind with an ounce of critical thinking would listen to advice from the CDC or FDA at this point? How can you let your state be run by the same people who locked you down for a year, kept your kids out of school for a year and a half, and are still looking for even more ways to curtail your ability to do day-to-day activities without satisfying certain criteria?
To call back to the title here: there is no return to a comfy 2019 world where the Government was just an incompetent annoyance. The purveyors of the Covid Authoritarianism are, truly, the enemies of the American people.
We have a window over the next couple of years to address this peacefully-but-forcefully. But without smart action now, the situation and the solution will only get messier. What I shared with you today is but a glimpse of the anger felt by millions of Americans who have suffered as a result of the crimes of our “leaders”. If there is not true accountability, then that anger will only grow.
