If you said in 2019 that government was getting too close to authoritarianism, then you were labeled paranoid.  Then came lockdowns and stay-at-home orders in 2020.

If you said in 2020 that the coronavirus may have been manufactured by humans and leaked from a lab, then you were labeled a crackpot conspiracy theorist.  Now it seems quite probable that something like this did happen, and it was likely funded by Fauci.

When people were warning about vaccine passports in late 2020, you were a paranoid, crackpot, conspiracy theorist.  Now it is becoming a reality in many countries, along with the most populous city in the United States.

The mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, has decreed that there will be something like a caste system in the Big Apple.  If you are unvaccinated, you will not be permitted to dine in restaurants, to go to a comedy show or a play, or to partake in the many other cultural activities that New York has to offer.

At this point, it looks like you will be permitted (per de Blasio) to buy groceries and drugs at the drug store.  But hey, anything is subject to change.

Not that having an actual law would make this any better, but it is telling that the mayor can just snap his fingers and lay down tyranny like that.  After all, he is the elected dictator.

While New York City does have a reputation these days for being rather left politically, this will set a precedent for elsewhere.  It is incredibly important that people fight back, including those who are vaccinated.

Think of it as defending free speech.  You don’t have to like what someone else is saying in order to defend their right to say it.

If this edict is imposed and is not quickly overturned, I hope that New York City goes down hard.  It hurts me to say that because I grew up on Long Island, about an hour from the city.  Although I would typically go into the city only a few times per year, I have some great memories from there.

As Frank Sinatra sang, “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere.”  Perhaps that’s truer now than ever for New Yorkers.

I think the people who are there should fight hard against this.  But if they can’t win, then they should jump ship.  The small businesses in New York have already been hit hard from last year with the lockdowns and the crazy (and ever-changing) restrictions.  If even 20% of the population there refuses to get vaccinated, then these small businesses and other venues are going to suffer.

The Nazi Analogy

I understand that the Nazi/ Hitler analogy is overplayed.  I understand that some people take offense to it, or at least pretend to take offense to it.  But if you aren’t going to learn from history, then you really do deserve to repeat it.

The unvaccinated in the United States are not being rounded up and sent to concentration camps.  The unvaccinated are not being murdered in a holocaust.  This is not my comparison right now.

I want to make the comparison so that we don’t end up in a situation where unvaccinated people are rounded up and sent to concentration camps.  Are you going to call me a crackpot conspiracy theorist for even suggesting this?  See the first three paragraphs at the top.

I am not making an analogy to Nazi Germany in 1940.  But I am making an analogy to Nazi Germany in the mid 1930s.

The Jews became second-class citizens.  In fact, it was even said that they were spreaders of disease.  Does that sound familiar?

It wasn’t just the government oppressing Jews.  It had to be sold to the rest of the population.  The people who became stooges for the government assisted in the demonization.

We do not want to go there in the United States of America.  Even if you are vaccinated, you don’t want to go there.  You will live under this tyranny too, even if you aren’t the direct target at this moment.

I am trying to make comparisons to mid 1930s Nazi Germany so that we don’t end up like 1940 to 1945 Nazi Germany down the road.

The state and its corporate media are working their propaganda hard.  They are trying their best to get everyone jabbed, or to blame the unvaccinated for the ills of society.

They may not actually want every single person to get vaccinated because then it would ruin their narrative.  Who would they blame for a spike in cases?  Who would they blame for the next pandemic, whether real or not?

Blaming the Underclass

The elite and their stooge followers now have their narrative that the spike in COVID cases is all the fault of the unvaccinated.  They don’t address that some of the most vaccinated countries (the U.S., the U.K., Israel) are the same countries experiencing a spike in what they call the delta variant.

It is also interesting that the CDC changed its mask guidelines, yet again, because vaccinated people can also spread the virus.

If you take the CDC at its word, and the vaccines truly do lessen the symptoms of COVID, then the logical conclusion is that it is the vaccinated people who are spreading the virus the most.

If you feel sick, then you are likely to stay at home and rest.  If you have a full virus load but don’t really feel sick, then you are out and about, spreading around the virus inadvertently.

So even if the vaccines “work” as advertised (which they don’t), you would need the entire population to be vaccinated in order to stop the spike in COVID cases.  But even this fails since many vaccinated people are testing positive for COVID with symptoms.

The argument being made is that if everyone would just sacrifice for society and do what they are supposed to do, then everything will work out.  Aside from this being incorrect, it is also incredibly naïve or dishonest.

It reminds me of the same arguments in favor of socialism.  If everyone would just do as they’re told, then there won’t be any issues and the system will work.

That shows an immediate flaw in the system because it is impossible that everyone will just go along and do as they are told.

When you use violence or the threat of violence, it has a tendency to create some resistance.  That’s true whether you are talking about a socialist economy or a vaccine mandate.

Discrimination

Considering that the political left likes to talk about discrimination, especially when there isn’t actually discrimination, it is interesting that most leftists are cheering on the discrimination when it is against a class of people they don’t like.  In this situation, they will defend private property rights for businesses that discriminate against the unvaccinated.

Of course, it is just supposed to be the redneck Trump voters who are too stupid to get vaccinated.  But the establishment is largely ignoring the fact that there is a comparatively high percentage of black people who refuse to get jabbed, for whatever reason.

Where is the left defending civil rights in New York City?  People who oppose the war on drugs correctly point out that it disproportionately hurts the black community.  What about in New York City, when a disproportionate number of black people are refused admittance into restaurants and comedy clubs?

Bill de Blasio is an evil tyrant.  He should be ridiculed at every moment possible.  He should be shunned from society.  Restaurants and movie theaters should refuse to serve him.  He has completely wrecked New York City, and the people there have permitted it.  He should go down in history as another Hitler who never quite gained total power.

I have heard some critics of vaccine passports correctly point out that if you give the government power over your medical decisions in this case, then the politicians will expand this power in the future, and we may be subject to even more tyrannical edicts down the line.While I certainly agree that it is concerning that governments may seize even more power in the future, I am concerned about now.  The tyranny is already here.  New York City is the trial balloon for the rest of the country.  T
