When dictators and Stalinists crush freedom and rights, they don’t announce “hey I am a dictator and I am here to impose tyranny.” It’s usually packaged as for good of country; safety of the public, and the targets of direct action are packaged as dangers who needed 2B stopped.
I am writing this for the dummies who are ok when freedoms in the US are curtailed “for our own safety” (COVID-19) and when rights are crushed “only” on those who are “spreading disinfo” or who are “insurrectionists.”

How else did you think freedoms are crushed? Idiots..
Rights, freedoms and liberties need to be protected exactly for times like these; whether in a health crisis or for when renegades pop off politically. You think we need those rights for when a fascist yells “I am a dictator and here to crush you?” Those moments rarely happen.
Friday, a panel on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the private school closures in CA last fall. Lawsuit was led by @Liberty_Ctr.

If you agreed with the state’s fake right to close schools rather than defending the parents, U R missing the points about rights in US.
Today it was announced that @PayPal will team up with a nonprofit to monitor (and stop) financials that flow to “extremists” and “hate” groups. This is an oppressive approach since the process who and what is “extremist” is arbitrary and is based on popularity or lack thereof.

Jan 6th was the worst attack on the Capitol since 1812? Odd because in 1954, five congressmen were wounded on the floor when 4 terrorists opened fire from the visitor area. (Prez Carter later commuted/reduced the sentences.)

March 1, 1971 NYT: “A bomb, apparently planted by a group or person protesting against the Vietnam war, exploded early this morning in the Senate wing of the Capitol, causing extensive damage but no injuries.”

How many bombs went off Jan 6th?

Nov 7, 1983: At 10:58 p.m. a thunderous explosion tore through the second floor of the Capitol’s north wing... The force of the device blew off the door to the office of Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd.

How many bombs went off in the Capitol on Jan 6?

Some people are cruel and diabolical. Why send reporters into hospital to troll unvaccinated people? Besides, can we do the same for the thousands who are dying due to months of no care thanks to lockdown policies? Not sure why @alanmillerNLP thinks he is the righteous one.
.@alanmillerNLP Last year, 22,000 more people than a year before died in the US due to ODs. Can we interview them/their families for their take on steep lockdowns? What about cancer patients? What about those in hospital with negative reactions to the vaccine? (Those exist too.)
More than 20,000 people either Liked or Retweeted his cruel, inhumane politically-motivated tweet because many people are blood-sucking creatures who derive pleasure from other people’s painful suffering. What a sick clown Alan is.

You taking the Coronavirus vaccine cuts the chances of you having symptoms.

How did the vaccine lower the total case count?

Simple: Less symptomatic people means less of a spread. We behaved 12 months as if asymptotic people are an issue despite what Fauci said in March 2020.
Biden said at the #CNNTownHall that you won’t get infected if you take the Coronavirus vaccine.

This is misleading info but the beauty of a having a Dem POTUS is that what would have been a 48-hour-fact-check storm under Trump goes by without much noise.
Tens of millions of people think that taking the Coronavirus vaccine means they can’t get Coronavirus which is not the case. They CAN get it but will less likely have (bad) symptoms.

Why hasn’t the political media and the medicL field been open/clear about this all along?

Someone accused of the federal version of trespassing (a misdemeanor) was kept behind bars, pre-trial, no bail since shortly after Jan 6th. He pled guilty on the charge to avoid 3 other misdemeanors. Now he is out.

This is how the DOJ “wins” cases against political dissidents.
I don’t want to hear a word from any of you about Cuba or Putin for as long this garbage is happening here in the US.

We have many of the same politically-motivated, abusive thuggery in the justice system as in Russia or Cuba just with more paperwork.

It’s window dressings.
The political class and public mindset approves of mass unrest and riots if a Cop shoots someone who a long violent criminal record who violently fights with Cops during an arrest. Meanwhile, dozens of trespassers (not accused of violence) are still behind bars since Jan 6th.

😢 Grim Milestone:

More than 50,000 (!) children under the age of 18 died in the U.S. since the start of 2020.

That’s 50,488 children to be exact.

337 of those deaths were with Coronavirus.

For every child Coronavirus death, 148.8 other children died of other causes. 😔
Deaths in the US; start of 2020 through 7/17/21:

5,071,952 all causes; all ages

601,124 Coronavirus all ages

50,488 all causes among children

337 Coronavirus among children

*6,207 deaths reported to VAERS post-COVID-19 vaccine; CDC didn’t confirm if those were caused by vax.
563 days from the start of 2020 through July 17 of this year. Average deaths PER DAY in the US:

9,008 all causes; all ages

1,067 Coronavirus all ages

89.6 children under age 18 all causes

0.59 of a child from Coronavirus

Does your Twitter noise reflect the above data?

1/ If it appears that vaccine skepticism is on the rise, please read this from the CDC to understand why it is so. 331 million dozes vaccines were administered; 5,946 recipients have been reported dead; CDC gives a percent, and also says it needs to in investigate the deaths.
2/ This is prapoganda on multiple levels. They mention how many doses were given rather than to write how many people were vaccinated because that will be a smaller pool (184 million). You see. 6K reported deaths along 331 million doesn’t look so bad as 6K among 184 million.
3/ I don’t think that 6K deaths among 184 million vaccinated people is high relatively speaking, but the CDC doesn’t take chances so they go with the doses count in raw numbers and as a percent too: Lives relative to shots rather than lives relative to vaccinated people.
