Reports: White House Considers Withholding Federal Money to Pressure People to Take Vaccine
Breitbart ^ | 6 Aug 2021 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 08/06/2021 8:47:46 AM PDT by conservative98

The White House is reportedly considering withholding federal dollars to private business as part of its latest push to get more Americans to take the coronavirus vaccine.

“If the Biden administration goes forward with the plans, it would amount to a dramatic escalation in the effort to vaccinate the roughly 90 million Americans who are eligible for shots but who have refused or have been unable to get them,” the Washington Post reported.

“The effort could apply to institutions as varied as long-term-care facilities, cruise ships and universities, potentially impacting millions of Americans, the Post continued, “according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.”

The White House issued a statement to Fox News neither confirming nor denying the Posts‘ report.

“As we always are, the administration is discussing a host of different measures we can continue to boost vaccinations across the country,” the White House said. “Any reported ideas under consideration are in early conversations and pre-decisional. There are no imminent policy decisions as to preview at this time.”

Georgetown University’s O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law Lawrence Gostin told Fox News the federal government would be right to leverage the power of the purse to push those who are exercising their freedom of choice to become vaccinated.

“I think wisely using the federal spending power is absolutely right,” said Gostin.

The Biden administration’s obsession with vaccinating Americans with a vaccine that is not Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved comes as the establishment media has rung the alarm that not all Americans are complying with the president’s commands.

... and they will continue to push and push and push until they're forced to stop ... and I do mean "forced" as it has become crystal clear that we're long past -- long past time for rational, reasonable discussion.

I think we've reached the point at which, because the Democrat/Communist/America- and American-hating/Left Party needs violence in the streets to realize their objective of destroying our Republic and capitalism along with it -- turmoil the racists of antifa and blm, at least for now, aren't providing -- along with persistent elevated levels of fear, distrust and anger (which this Party can sustain with the help of the America-/America-hating media), they need to create a conflict between the combatants our government has created deliberately: the vaccinated vs the unvaccinated.

When this occurs (and I suspect that will, by design, be very soon) we will know whether or not God has given up on us for rejecting His great gift, the American Republic and our divinely-inspired Constitution.

If the Government cuts off federal funds to private organizations,
states should build toll roads around existing Federal Facilities
(including Military) to recover the funds.

[[This has become an obsession and I don’t understand why]]

To enstate comunism or marxism. They are playing It by the rulebook.

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

Theodore Dalrymple

There was a clip of the usual media ‘personalities’ riffing on this last week. Ideas floated included

Make SS payments contingent upon proof of vacccination
Same for
Access to Medicare
Entry into ‘non-essential’ businesses like restaurants, gyms, sporting events and concerts
Fines imposed via the IRS — show your ‘vaccine passport’ as part of tax filings
Require private businesses, including retailers, to check patron’s ‘vaccine passport’ to allow entry

They were just getting warmed up.

The focus was on coercion, not outright force, but they don’t need force if they can just make the accumulated weight of resistance so heavy that only a few nonconformists remain.

Well, now we know that they have this particular ball rolling.

What do we do about it is all that is really left to discuss.

Bill Gates agrees that social security should be withheld from those that do not get the vaccine.

Joe has to offer something besides his, “Do this or ELSE”. That’s just indiscriminately crude!

I mean, any rational plan would offer a workable alternative to such a strongarm mandate. Especially, since Joe and Co. have broadcast their wholesale terrorizations to deniers who routinely note the wide open southern border.

It’s too intimidating and has further eroded the stability he needs, if he insists in passing himself off as a ‘President’

You would think that the Executive could not add “conditions” to the dispersal of Federal funds other than what is allowed by law.

Maybe such conditions are allowed by the enabling legislation?

And they call Jan 6 an “insurrection?”

Let them try to even float these possibilities.

It is hard for some of us to accept that there is pure evil in the world, to accept that someone would do these things we are dealing with to promote their agenda of control over us and their power and selfish gain. But they do. We just don’t think like them and so we have to fight denial and it is easy for us to not understand what they are doing to us. We wrongly and impulsively gravitate to believe that we can somehow negotiate with them and collaborate to some mutually beneficial, agreeable and wholesome compromise. This idea is folly, foolish and just wrong headed.

They can only believe in communism and marxism because it is good for them and bad for us because nobody but the powerful prosper under such a system and it has always failed.

Your line on repeating lies reminds me of a line from Kipling’s “IF” and it is a good one. One I have always somehow understood to not just being about lying but about the lying becoming to poison you.

...”
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,”
...

Between the Bible, the 12 Scout Laws and “IF” I have found almost all I needed to guide me.

And for those who may be curious here is Kipling from Brother Square Toes—Rewards and Faries and “IF”:
