There are indications that, flush with the success of using a purported emergency to shut down Americans’ civil liberties, Democrats are ready to step up their game.
We’ve learned over the last 20 months that, if a government can cause people to panic, people will readily forgo all their freedoms in return for a promise that the government will keep them safe. One man has decided that the COVID panic is a successful trial run for future tyranny based upon the allegedly existential threat of climate change.
John Hinderaker, at Power Line, came across an article from Cambridge University Press entitled “Political Legitimacy, Authoritarianism, and Climate Change.” The author, one Ross Mittiga III, is a Ph.D. in Poly Sci who ran unsuccessfully as the 2017 Democrat party candidate for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. According to a quotation on BallotPedia, his campaign focused on climate change:
As someone who has dedicated his career to studying the politics and ethics of climate change, no issue is more important to me—or central to this campaign—than the need for robust environmental protection and climate action.
Mittiga is a true believer and he believes in the “whatever it takes” approach to stopping the climate from doing what it does naturally. In the article’s summary, we get Mittiga mournfully concluding that “contemporary political theory literature” would answer “no” to the question “Is authoritarian power ever legitimate?” That, however, does not stop the panicked and intrepid Mittiga,
I argue, however, that there exists another, overlooked aspect of legitimacy concerning a government’s ability to ensure safety and security. While, under normal conditions, maintaining democracy and rights is typically compatible with guaranteeing safety, in emergency situations, conflicts between these two aspects of legitimacy can and often do arise.

But, I think there were more viruses being engineered at the Wuhan lab. I would think Pandemic 2.0 is next.
With Chinese city Xi’an on “lockdown”, the mass incubation of the next pandemic may already be under way.
From governments behavior during the Covid, normal people would conclude that future projections and short term mandatory prescriptions are useless. If you out wait the lies, reality will kill them. Censure ship has failed. What liberals have learned is how to inflict mass formation psychosis.
The four horses are disease, dollar devaluation, war and conquering, in reverse order.
Rev 6
As you pointed out, the answer to the title question is YES.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
Yes. This will set a precedent which will then make it about impossible to fight future gov authoritarian transgressions in the Courts.
God will save us,
In Him I hope.
Not just a practice run. They have already successfully taken the Bill of Rights and are rolling out techno-control via social and financial credit jab passes that will be rolled into the end of our regular currency.
Conditioning!
More than a practice run, it was significant victory in the war being waged against a people whose trust in their civilization’s institutions blinds them to the reality of what has taken place.
Not a “practice run”, rather a foundation from which to build a Marxist utopia.
Yup.
Testing the waters for the Tribulation period.
Total economic meltdown has to happen which includes hyperinflation.
We’re well past the point of no return there. Just a matter of time.
More than a few Prophecy Watchers think Israel is going to attack Iran in Feb - Apr 2022 timeframe which will trigger Jeremiah 48, Isaiah 17, Psalm 83, and possibly Ezekiel 38/39 thereafter.
If that happens, the clock gets exponentially closer to midnight for THE CHURCH.
Ezekiel 38 and 39 are very interesting because of how specific they are.
(Testing the waters for the Tribulation period.)
Seems like it’s coming
How long before we hear about Middle East “peace” again?
It must be coming as well...
