Biden’s authoritarian vaccine mandate overreach: Making Americans chose between providing for their families or getting a COVID-19 shot
Wash Times ^ | Sep 22, 2021 | Alan Wilson, AG of SC

Posted on 09/25/2021 7:26:27 PM PDT by upchuck

During his September 9 press conference, President Biden laid out his plan to address the COVID-19 pandemic and the Delta variant surge. This was perhaps the most authoritarian speech I have heard. The President’s most telling statement was when he said, “This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you — the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love.”

This statement completely abandons the concept of freedom and liberty for the perception of temporary safety through expanded government power. Suppose President Biden’s executive action is allowed to stand. In that case, any President can use this reasoning to justify taking any unilateral action on anything they want without any authority granted by Congress. Who is to say that this justification cannot be used to support the regulatory confiscation of guns, a regulatory prohibition on smoking, a regulatory prohibition on the consumption of unhealthy foods, and even regulatory limits on free speech – after all, it’s not about freedom or personal choice but about protecting us from ourselves and each other...

With President Biden’s policy, there has been no debate and no action taken by Congress. Instead, the President has decided to put the Constitution on the proverbial chopping block. He seeks to effectuate this policy through the power and overreach of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)...

Mr. President, you are wrong. This is about freedom. This is about personal choice. Just as important, it is about the rule of law and the sanctity of the safeguards of the Constitution. The Framers put these protections in place to prevent you from taking this authoritarian action. Yours is a power grab personified. One man cannot substitute himself for the 535 members of Congress or 50 state governments.

And people think just getting “vaccinated” will be the end of this tyranny. We are never getting our freedom back. Best bet now is to ghost from society and declare yourself a pregnant illegal alien.

I wish I was joking.

I will identify as a trans woman trying to get pregnant. In addition I will be volunteering to provide breast milk for at risk children. Won’t matter that I’m a 50+ male. They can’t challenge insanity. Their insanity.

Trump had his day in the sun and he washed out. Standing there nodding while relinquishing his authority to Fauci and the Scarf.

He said we should get back to normal by Easter (2020), 27 days after “15 days to slow the spread”, and he should have forced that by any means at his disposal. He let this get way, way out of hand.

I love him, and if the chinese and the democrats (both deliberately not capitalized) hadn’t come up with this plandemic, he would have been the greatest president in history. But at this point he’s little more than a sideshow, and conservatives need to move on. Trump will get us nowhere but more of the same.

Next Wednesday has an interesting combination of celebrations:

On the Jewish side is Simchat Torah:

23 Tishri 5782

Completing, beginning, and rejoicing with the Torah (”Hakafot”)

Today is Simchat Torah (”Rejoicing of the Torah”), on which we conclude, and begin anew, the annual Torah reading cycle. The event is marked with great rejoicing, and the “hakafot” procession, held both on the eve and morning of Simchat Torah, in which we march and dance with Torah scrolls around the reading table in the synagogue. In the words of the Chassidic saying, “On Simchat Torah, we rejoice in the Torah, and the Torah rejoices in us; the Torah, too, wants to dance, so we become the Torah’s dancing feet.”

During today’s Torah reading, everyone, including children under the age of Bar Mitzvah, is called up to the Torah; thus the reading is read numerous times, and each aliyah is given collectively to many individuals, so that everyone should recite the blessing over the Torah on this day.

https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?tdate=9/29/2021

On the Christian side is Michaelmas:

Michaelmas (/ˈmɪkəlməs/ MIK-əl-məs; also known as the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the Feast of the Archangels, or the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels) is a Christian festival observed in some Western liturgical calendars on 29 September.

>>>

In Christian angelology, the Archangel Michael is the greatest of all the angels and is honored for defeating Lucifer in the war in heaven.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaelmas

Dan 12

1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who has charge of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be saved, every one whose name shall be found written in the book:
2. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt:

Along with Revelation chapter 12.

There are too many sheep, dumbed down by decades of the long-term socialist plan. People far too easily led and incapable of independent thought.

There are people who actually WANT what’s happening, who actually BELIEVE this nonsense. Look at Australia. Supposedly a majority of their citizens support what’s happening there. The idiots actually think the government has their best interests in mind.

It’s going to be a long, long time before true sanity returns to the world, not just the USA. Hopefully my great great grandchildren will see it, and know what it means to be free, and to be led by people who share the same desire. I shudder to think of what must happen in the interim, to bring that about.

Yes it’s just the beginning steps - eventually the governments of the world 🌎🌍 will submit to the Antichrist and his False Prophet.

This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you — the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love.”

There is nothing more important to protect than freedom.

Yeah, I think the plandemic/pandemic was a mistake he made in his handling of it. I think his big mistake, beside what you pointed out, was Operation Warp Speed. Unless the disease had something like a 10, 20 or more percentage mortality rate or if it turned people into zombies, etc., then you cannot rush a vaccine to market. The tried that in 1935 with a polio vaccine and the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine but they had bad consequences. I think President Trump should have said, "yes we are working on it, but even so, we cannot rush it because you could end up with bad side effects." Also the focus should have been on the treatments, ivermectin, regeneron HCQ, etc and after the first lockdown, things should have returned to normal or close to it. Fauchi should have been canned too. The demoncrats got in using three things, the plandemic, fraud/shenanigans andd of course, you always have enough chuckleheads that would vote for them.

I still support President Trump but if someone else with a lot of "oomph" would come about like DeSantis, Cruz whomever, I will certainly get behind them too in 2024. That is if we make it, if we are still around. I'm not sure about 2022. I'm worried about making it to Thanksgiving, THIS YEAR.

Biden's "mandate" does not apply to Members of Congress or The Judiciary or The White House or the staffers of those agencies.

So, the obvious question we should be asking is, "Why doesn't Biden care about the health of White House staffers and members of Congress and The Judiciary and their staffers?"!

Very insightful and I agree completely. The dark ages will seem pink in comparison.
