The Humanist Burqa

UK Face Masks: This Is Why Britain's Attitude Is Changing Fast

The face mask Mandate–mandates are so much more fun than legislation, aren’t they?–has been lifted, here in New Jersey; but when I went grocery-shopping this morning, I saw most of the people in the store still wearing them. And by now we all know there are lots of folks out there saying they’ll never stop wearing them.

Do they enjoy it that much? No. Tinhorn tyrants and a shoddy and dishonest nooze media have scared them silly. And they’re still scared.

Women in radical Muslim nations are compelled to cover themselves so thoroughly that you can only see their eyes. Their garment is called a burqa.

The face masks adopted by the Western world are the humanist version of the burqa. “Give us absolute power over every aspect of your lives, obey us without asking questions… and we’ll make sure you never get sick!”

There’s no longer any actual need for the face masks–if there ever was one–the CDC says we don’t need them anymore (until the next Big Germ crops up)… and yet people are still wearing them, even outdoors.

We passed a school on the way to the store. A bunch of kids were sitting outside on the grass, engaged in some activity or other. All of them were maskless–except one.

What was the point of this little boy continuing to wear the mask, when no one else was wearing one? I think it was because his parents are still scared. Too much TV, too much Dr. Fauci. And maybe a bit of left-wing virtue signalling.

They have truly done a number on us; and it remains to be seen what, if anything, we’ve learned from it.

Death Penalty for… Watching Music Videos??

Kim Jong Un Gets a Promotion, Gives His Sister a Demotion - WSJ

I don’t think I want to know what he’s clapping for.

Communism! An inexhaustible fountain of fun.

North Korea’s communist dictator, Kim Jong Un, got the train of chuckles rolling recently when he prescribed 15 years in a labor camp as the penalty for listening to “K-Pop”–music, videos, TV and movies produced in South Korea (https://variety.com/2021/music/news/kim-jong-un-k-pop-vicious-cancer-1234994620/). Soon this’ll be the only country in the world where you can plea-bargain down to a death sentence.

Dreamboy called K-Pop “a vicious cancer” and inveighed against the hair and clothing styles popular among K-Pop fans.

Gee. I don’t have much use for rock ‘n’ roll, but I wouldn’t kill people over it.

Oddly enough, K-Pop fans seem to be pretty far to the left themselves–more fool them. And they’re said to be highly media-savvy. I think that’s a euphemism for not knowing a blessed thing besides cyber-gizmos.

The real mystery is why libs throughout the Western world think communism’s cool and would like to have it ruling their own countries. What would ever make them think that?

‘Your FBI Is On the Job’ (2014)

Achtung! Verboten!

When they’re not helping the Deep State remove a duly elected president, the FBI likes to dabble in what can only be called acts of irrational tyranny. Like this one:

Your FBI Is On The Job

I don’t know about you, but I could hardly sleep at night, knowing that a 91-year-old man in Indiana had set up a museum of his lifetime’s travels, featuring mementos and souvenirs from all over the world. We can all breath a sigh of relief, now that the FBI has sent armed agents to break in and confiscate all his stuff.

My aunts had a lot of little knickknacks from wherever. Somehow the FBI missed them.

Quickie contest: Name one federal agency that wasn’t warped and corrupted by the Obama administration.

Betcha can’t!

At Least They Knocked

The cops came back to Pastor Artur Pawlowski’s church… and he chased them away again. (Please excuse the puppy picture. It’s there for a reason.)

They returned to his Church, this time with SWAT members — The chills begin at 2:29…

The headline says it’s a SWAT team, but I didn’t see a SWAT team. Fair-sized bunch of cops, though. In black uniforms, etc. That might intimidate some people; but not Pastor Pawlowski. He refuses to listen to whatever it is they’re demanding of the church, he chastises them for coming while religious services are in progress, and again he chases them away. “I do not cooperate with the Gestapo!” he declares.

This is the second time he’s had to do this. The first time he told them not to come back without a warrant. I didn’t see a warrant this time. And they did finally leave.

In China they’d have made him disappear already. Canada isn’t there yet.

Pawlowski exhorted Canadians and Americans to “come to their senses while there is still time… or you’re going to be swallowed up by those people. Wake up or else!” See the video for his whole speech to the camera.

Liberty is a lady with a price on her head. Governments all over the world are trying to hunt her down and put her away. It’s hyper-humanism morning, noon, and night.

We appeal to the Judge of all the earth.

Coming Soon to a Government Near You…

Communist China's Painful Human Rights Story | Council on Foreign Relations

No mistaken opinions allowed!

Ain’t technology grand!

Communist China has unveiled a new app “for reporting mistaken opinions” (https://summit.news/2021/04/19/china-launches-new-app-allowing-citizens-to-report-others-for-expressing-mistaken-opinions/).  As one government official said, “We hope that most internet users will play an active role in supervising society.”

Oh, boy. Get the whole country ratting out each other.

The app was designed by a government agency, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).

The Chicoms want people to report each other for “denying Party… in an attempt to confuse people’s thinking.” They’ll solve that problem by erasing people’s thinking. Any criticism–er, “misinformation” (Gee, that sounds familiar!)–of the state, the party, of Chinese history, or any action taken by the government is to be reported.

That smacking sound you hear is Western leftids licking their chops in envy.

But at least there’s nothing in the least bit sinister about our sports leagues, Hollywood, and assorted politicians and academics totally selling out to China. It’s for our own good, don’t you know. Socialist paradise. Everybody on the same page, all the time. Or else.

We have nothing left but our prayers; and we’d better use them.

What If You Don’t Have a Cell Phone?

From now on, if you want a drink in a UK pub, you’re going to have to hand over your cell phone to the barmaid or whoever so she can check the information on your official government tracking app; and if it’s not all there, no beer for you (https://summit.news/2021/04/09/report-brits-at-pubs-will-have-to-register-on-government-tracking-app-hand-over-phones/).

Freedom? It’s been nice knowing you.

They’re not calling it a “vaccine passport,” but that’s what it is. Actually, it’s more along the lines of Communist China’s “social credit system,” in which they use your cell phone to take note of everything you say and do. Say the wrong thing, and you won’t be allowed to ride the bus.

I don’t have a cell phone. There must be people in Britain who don’t. Would that mean I can’t buy a drink until I get one, and do whatever you do with an “app,” whatever that is, to allow the government to keep tabs on you?

Words almost fail me. Honk if you think this is a horrendous violation of personal space and liberty.

Gettin’ bad out there, isn’t it?

My Newswithviews Column, April 8 (‘The Next Big Lockdown’)

People are growing increasingly hysterical over COVID. But COVID’s nothing, nothing at all, compared to Systemic Racism! Ask any scientist.

But here is the solution!

The Next Big Lockdown

Yes–lock down everybody, forever. It’s the only way to be sure nobody has a chance to practice racism.

They might still think racist thoughts or harbor racist feelings, but we’ll have to get to that aspect of the problem later on.

Where there’s a government, there’s a way of suppressing people!

NY Eyes Vast Expansion of ‘Hate Speech’ Restrictions

Watch what you say in that debate!

Somehow the watchword for today is “allow”–as in, what will government “allow” us to say, do, or think?

The New York legislature is trying to pass a law that would punish any person or group that “indirectly”–what?–allows “hate speech” (https://www.thecollegefix.com/new-york-bill-would-block-funding-for-student-groups-that-indirectly-allow-hate-speech/). So, for instance, the host of a debate would be criminally liable for any “hate speech” uttered by one side or the other during the debate.

On the griddle would be anyone who “directly or indirectly promotes, encourages, or permits hate speech.” The New York Senate has passed this monstrosity for three years in a row, but it has yet to get past the Assembly. Meanwhile the U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled similar capers unconstitutional.

Two little quibbles:

As usual, “hate speech” is not defined… so it could turn out to be virtually anything. The Senate has been concerned with anti-Israel speech spoken by pro-Palestinian groups. Uh-huh–but the wording of the proposed law can brand anything as hate speech. What will we be allowed to say? That can change from day to day, depending on who got up on the wrong side of the bed.

And then there’s that bit about “permitting” hate speech. If it’s not defined, who can avoid “permitting” it? Now we are all responsible for whatever anybody else says?

Is it just me, or is government at every level getting more and more oppressive?

COVID ‘n’ Climbit Change (Perfect Together!)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Grinning Kim Jong-un sits yards away from party officials after emerging from hiding amid coronavirus pandemic

Meet Mr. Government!

My wife yesterday took a You.gov survey in which the questions persistently stapled together the Climate Change gotterdammerung and the COVID apocalypse, as if they were the same thing, or a package deal. I wish I could reproduce it for you, but the survey disappears as soon as you submit the answers, and it is not reproduced on the You.gov website.

Apparently King COVID is supposed to teach us to love and trust Big Brother, aka the all-devouring state. Otherwise we’re all gonna die. If de germ don’t get us, de climbit change will–only de guvvamint can save us, can you gimme hallelujah!

The questions were weird. Like, as a result of the COVID pandemic, what actions do you think the government should take to deal with Climate Change? Now that we’ve had COVID, what will you do to reduce your carbon footprint?

Oh, the Great Reset globalist varmints would love to link King COVID with Climate Change, nee Global Warming, which always sounds ridiculous with large portions of the country freezing their kiesters off! They really thought Climate Change would be the magic carpet upon which they would ride to total power over everyone–but they kept getting caught lying and cheating, and they could never seal the deal. But then along comes COVID, and this time we really honest-to-pete ARE gonna die, or at least untold millions of us, we really are gonna die unless we OBEY all the government’s mandates–! [Pause to hyperventilate]

So they’re telling us “America is closing in on half a million COVID deaths!” and no one, not a soul (if they have souls), among our Free & Independent Nooze Media Inc. ever calls ’em out on it! “Dr. Fauci, can you prove that 500,000 Americans have actually died of COVID, and not of a wide assortment of other serious causes, like heart disease–in which the COVID was just the last bit of poison icing on the cake? Can you prove that, sir?”

In a pig’s eye he can.

So You.gov joins the parade, marching behind King COVID with a little pooper-scooper–destination, world government. Try it, you’ll like it! Honest, we’ll give you your freedom back the moment you ask for it.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

‘The World Happiness Council… No Joke’ (2018)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This monstrosity was officially launched at a World Government Forum held in Qatar–believe me, those sheiks in Qatar are happy all the time–three years ago.

Government’s job, they declare, is to make you…. happy.

The World Happiness Council… No Joke

They skated over the fact that different things make different people happy. Things that make some people happy make others very sad. Like, a liberal is never so happy as when his country is losing a war.

So how are these Global Government willies going to make everybody happy?

Pray the Lord we never find out.
