Report: Yale Students Warn That COVID Tyranny Has Turned Campus Into Stasi-Like ‘Surveillance State’
Summit News ^ | 28 January, 2022 | Steve Watson

School issuing compliance warnings to anyone caught violating restrictions and reported to the authorities by fellow students..

Some students at Yale are warning that the litany of restrictions and rules, and the system the university has implemented to report anyone seen to be breaking them, has transformed the campus into a “surveillance state” policed by Stasi-like students who are annoyed at others violating the ever changing decrees.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that complaints are being registered anonymously against anyone not wearing a mask, or indulging in “handshakes, hugs, and high-fives.”

In one example cited in the report, one student was in the library watching a movie without anyone else around, but was caught and filmed committing the cardinal sin of not wearing the mask.

Forty eight hours later the student received a warning from school officials declaring that he had “failed to meet the commitments you agreed to in the Yale Community Compact.”

The note stated that the student would be allowed to tell his side of the story and then officials would “review the matter and decide whether [his] conduct poses a risk to the health and safety of [himself] or other community members.”

After a fortnight passed, the student was sent another warning stating “Should you continue to engage in behavior that violates the Yale Community Compact, you will be placed on Public Health Warning and may face more serious outcomes, including the removal of permission to be on campus.”

The Beacon notes that this is far from an isolated incident, with one student telling reporters that most are against the restrictions, but have become a “silenced majority” in fear of enduring “shame” and “administrative consequences” if they resist.

Another student who was reported to the authorities anonymously said “I have no clue who reported me,” adding “The system has had a lot of success in keeping people scared.”

The report also notes that students are finding themselves in the crosshairs for posting unmasked photos on social media.

In an Instagram post relating how he had been reported for dining outdoors without a mask in violation of a Yale off campus dining ban, a student noted “This is too much power to put in the hands of students,” urging that “People can be petty and get classmates in trouble with standards that are changing every five minutes.”

Yale and other universities like it are microcosms of the outside world where anyone seen to be of an opinion that doesn’t match exactly with what the authorities demand is duly ‘exposed’ and ostracised.

Several U.S. schools have threatened to completely cut off basic services, including internet access for students if they do not fully comply with all COVID restrictions on campus.

As we have previously reported, colleges are being used as testing grounds for technology to enforce draconian distancing, mask and lockdown measures:

...

Universities are also threatening to suspend students who dare to leave pre-determined ‘bubble’ areas around campuses, or visit non “approved businesses” without permission.

Other universities have gone as far as issuing demands for students to wear masks while having sex, even if it’s sex with their own hands.

Shut up and eat your peas, you little bastards. Yale isn't worth it but you think you're scared about Stasi? You're really scared about having to come home to State U. Schadenfreude!

Well, get used to it Yalies. This is what the left wing that you are being trained to prop up wants to do to the whole society, permanently.

Snitching is acceptable at Yale. Not so much in Virginia,

Yale likes to preach liberalism but you never get to see the back side of the page until it’s to late.

Harvard is where these little Nazi’s are created so why is anyone surprised with what is happening on campus?

They will find out the hard way that obedience to tyrants just leads to more demands from tyrants.

If their spirit is not totally broken, then they will have had a great learning experience.

Think of it as boot camp—with the boot on their necks.

The tyrants behind this don’t realize they are making college a horrible place for young people.

Yale is the new center of the ruling class elite - this is actually training for their future, a demonstration of how to use and abuse power against the masses they'll be 'leading'.

These students won't leave Yale - they'll put up with anything to stay there and make the key connections needed to join the power elite.

KNOW THE ENEMY - they usually have alma maters of Yale, Columbia University, NYU, and (less so now) Harvard and Princeton.

When the left is in charge you get to see the vision they have for the world: totalitarianism with complete control over thoughts, words and actions.

Best bet against tyrants: tyrannize them right back.

A lot of law enforcement types are believers in “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” And are more than willing to tear down big names on scant evidence, if there are repetitious *anonymous* complaints. Especially to other police agencies.

University educations are overrated anyway.

“The system has had a lot of success in keeping people scared.”

That's the basic concept, lest people should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted and healed:

KEEPING PEOPLE SCARED <---> KEEPING PEOPLE SACRED

SOD, it's an operating system:

"Foundation of the World"

Proverbs 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation*.

*yesod olam, foundation of the world (Joseph)

Joseph means "he will add".

Yosef ha-Tzaddik is the accountant son:

uh 1, 2.. uh 1, 2, 3, 4...

Lonely, Mister Lonely
That's what they'll call me
That's not my name.

Teardrops, Mister Teardrops
That's what they'll call me
That's not my name.

It's one thing to be known as Mister Runaround
It's another to be known as just the biggest fool in town...

The Mavericks - "That's Not My Name"

***

Speaking of being healed by a great deliverance,

When Rachel (known as the Mother of All Israel) gave birth to Joseph, she knew right then and there that God would give her another son. Says so right in the Torah account.

It is no mystery how Rachel -- being the quintessential Jewish Mother -- would know this, because not that there's anything wrong with an accountant son, mind you, but...

... the jokes write themselves.

See what anyone could learn from Yale, free of charge?

***

YALE:

Motto -- Lux et veritas (Latin) האורים והתמים (Hebrew)
Motto in English -- Light and truth
Type -- Private research university

Light and truth, just not in the way the system intended.

אורותם ימים, their lights are days.

Thanks, Yale! Now get out of the way...

I cancelled my cardiologist today.

I’m stable, and a profit center for the clinic - there are multiple tests they can run on me and charge medicare big bucks. But they have demanded everyone wear a mask since May of 2020.

Since then, I’ve almost forgotten the name of the doc(I had to look at the appt slip) since I can’t picture him in my mind. I have been dreading going in for weeks.

When I was 5, they removed my tonsils and it was trauma for this kid. I can still picture the operating room and the masks. Every time I see a person in a mask, I’m reminded.

So, when I have gone in masked, my readings are up 10 points. I have a hard time breathing and I can’t understand most of what is said because I can’t see their mouth and expressions.

My GP and his staff do not wear masks. I can get any prescriptions needed from him, and I see him regularly.

So, I called and explained. I spoke to a couple of staff, and all were equally tired of the masking, but they have to keep working. The problem is, the corporate side shows every intention of keeping masking forever. And why not? I get the impression they think you’ve got to see them, and you’re scared enough not to buck the new rules. There’s much less personal involvement between doctor/patient, and that’s all good for most specialists. Same money, less emotional stress for the doctor.

Call me dumb, but I have chosen to live free. I am the patient. I am not infectious. And I’m willing to assume you aren’t either, and I accept the consequences.

Not much choice at the VA. Mask or stay out. Had left carotid surgery 4 months ago so a follow up is kinda important for me. The right side may need some attention in a while so.......... Seems like a lot of the staff is over it but if you need your job. Both the lady that did the scans and the pulmonary nurse practitioner fully vaxxed and boostered(to keep their jobs) have been re infected recently. Absurdity writ large.

It must be interesting for those Yale students who are studying Soviet/Eastern Bloc political science and history. They are getting a taste of the lite version of the oppressive surveillance state, complete with political officers and block captains (snitches).

I’ve been through the operating room a couple of times, and have all the accessories. Fortunately for me, I’m stable and can do most anything.

Since the beginning of the Great Masking, I have developed a closer personal relationship with the guys at Jiffy Lube than I have with my medical specialist.

“...I have developed a closer personal relationship with the guys at Jiffy Lube...” That may be more than I need to know. LOL! We remain “NON GMO”.

I guess you have to go to Yale to figure that one out!
