EDWARD CLINE ON LOCKDOWNS
https://ruleofreason.blogspot.com/
The dictionary definition of a lockdown is the confining of prisoners to their cells, as following a riot or other disturbance:
Will Americans return to living normal lives, or take the time to umlearn the Coronavirus imperatives and behave as the State wants them to behave – that is, by being controlled and living by and for the State’s sake and purposes? There is some evidence that they are discarding all the “new normal” rules. Protests have occurred at state capitals, while citizens have assembled in parks and at beaches.. Some judicial findings have declared the lockdowns and “stay at home” orders have violated people’s Constitutional rights. It will take some time to unlearn the miasma of behaving as the virus commands people to act. Tp behave according to State imperatives seems to occur automatically when people act without thinking.
Outside my residence I see groups of ten or so people not wearing masks[passing by bu as a herd at a “safe” six feet distance from each other, for no particular reason other than to conform to the “new norm,” lest they are berated by a passerby going in the opposite ditection. These are not people who will question anything. The “new norm” being compliant and obedient, not standing out with an independent minds. Many states in the U.S. have issued decrees which too many people are willing to obey lest they are harassed by the new tyrants. And many countries, as well. Particularly Britain, Germany, France, and Spain, and Australia. One country exemplifies how it can descend into lockdown tyranny in the blink of an eye, New Zealand. A contact sent me the discouraging news of how its prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, took the defining step of enforcing a mandatory lockdown of the whole country, oblivious to the rights and freedoms New Zealanders enjoyed before.
Jarrett Stepman discusses how the major destruction of freemen’s freedom and liberties can be reversed:
“While our federal system gives broad power to states and local authorities to act in the way that best serves their communities, it is still essential that Americans be wary of violations of the Constitution and their fundamental rights.
This important point was made by U.S. Attorney General William Barr, who directed U.S. attorneys in late April to be on the lookout for violations of civil liberties by state and local governments.”
