Pandemic Paves Way to Totalitarianism [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 28 Feb 2021 | John Semmens

Naomi Wolf, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton during his 1996 reelection campaign sees the government response to the COVID pandemic turning America into a totalitarian society. "All across America governors declared emergencies and then proceeded to exert dictatorial control," she asserted. "They told people to stay home. They ordered businesses to close. They encouraged neighbors to spy on each other. These are the kind of rotten policies that dictators have used throughout history to destroy free societies."

"We have even reached the stage where a corrupt alliance of big tech and government is censoring views that question the fear mongering being used to scare people into accepting repression as a necessary measure to save their health," Wolfe added. "This strongly imitates the fascism Mussolini imposed on Italy. The designation of some people as 'essential' and others 'nonessential' is a very totalitarian move. Absurdly, every government employee is automatically deemed essential. The reality is that there are great lumps of unproductive deadwood within every government bureaucracy. These people draw steady paychecks, many of them for doing absolutely nothing of value to anyone."

"Meanwhile, the livelihoods of the 'nonessential' are shutdown," Wolfe continued. "The belated and paltry 'stimulus checks' of a few thousand dollars are a grossly inadequate substitute for the forfeited right to earn a living by honest work as a business owner or employee providing a product or service willingly purchased by customers. I wish my Democrat friends would step back from the abyss they're taking the country into, but most seem so thrilled with the power to get things done that couldn't get done through normal democratic give-and-take and compromise. The monster they have created will, in the end, devour most of them. They will ultimately be given show trials where they confess their sins, are found guilty, and executed by the tyranny they helped create."

And you were part and parcel of enabling it, Naomi. Feeling a little guilty or just cashing in on being a contrarian?

Government REACTION to the ‘pandemic’ could be the pathway to Federal authoritarianism, ie the loss of representative government.

Did someone hack Naomi’s computer and steal her identity to front as a sane, reasonable person? Her master and overlord AlGore won’t like this a bit.

To use the pandemic to establish totalitarianism has been part of the plan of tyrants and their lackeys all along.

Representative government is already a fond memory
