Objects of odium, ostracised...

Following the earlier overture things have heated up. The push back now has it's own push back: Melissa Healy at the LA Times muses that "It's as if [the non-covid-jabbed are] no longer hazardous to the rest of us. Or are they?" It's as if...? ...WTF? Really? [Hat-tip: The Naked Emperor] 

Melissa writes: "For almost two years, COVID-19 vaccine holdouts have been the objects of earnest pleading and financial inducements, of social-media shaming and truth campaigns. They’ve missed weddings, birthday celebrations and recitals, and even forfeited high-stakes athletic competitions. Until last month, they were barred from entering the United States and more than 100 other countries.

Now the unvaccinated are suddenly back in the mix." 

I - an object - am still barred Melissa. Pharma profits need maintaining.  But of course she has an 'expert' or two to boost the ridiculous pap she has written. Amazing how moronic some experts are becoming too. 

BOB's artwork may seem a bit OTT but it isn't. The comparisons to Nazi Germany batted about may also seem OTT but they aren't: what happened is exactly how 'it' starts. Gina was right. 

The power was wielded by many 'normal' people, they now want forgive and forget: as Laura puts it so well: Just say no...

"... the people who told you were non-essential, that your children would kill your elderly parents or grandparents, that you had to save your country's pathetic and useless socialized medical system by locking you in your house, that you and your children had to take several dangerous ("safe and effective") injections that you didn't want or need and lied about every detail about it, the same people who taped up park benches, forced masks on toddlers, kicked autistic children off of planes, imprisoned frail and vulnerable senior citizens and disabled humans with sick and contagious covid patients in their respective nursing homes and homes for the developmentally disabled in order for them to die en masse, the ones who dragged pregnant women getting fresh air from park benches, kept people from getting regular medical care and disease treatment, refused organ transplants to the unvaccinated, forced old and sick people to die alone behind plastic barriers in hospitals, ripped families apart and destroyed friendships, businesses and economies, yes those people want an amnesty. Well screw that." 

"The people who enacted these policies are anti-human psychopaths who do not deserve mercy. Have you seen any real apologies for their behaviour? I saw one on Twitter and the new Premier of Alberta is making a good start of it. But mostly what I see is deeply sinister and shameless humans who just want forgiveness and absolution without doing any of the requisite moral and spiritual work i.e. sincerely apologizing, repenting and vowing never again to repeat their evil ways."

"Absolutely and positively no".

Ostler's obscurantist optimistic overture...

Poor Emily. I really do think she was an honest convert now seeking to stop a tsunami of hate. But she stuck her head above the parapet and is reaping the whirlwind. I think the bad cat was the first to pick up on it, "emily oster's no good, really bad, terrible idea" [LINK] then Igor: "Wow. The Atlantic has a front-page article (archive link) by Prof. Emily Oster, asking for 'Pandemic Amnesty'". But Mary Harrington at Unherd has a great take on 'The tyranny of a Covid amnesty'. 

 Nor is having expertise or evidence on your side much of a defence. 

Read the comments. 

Luckily for me I realise many may not even know what I'm talking about because they do not inhabit the various bubbles that are screeching (with reason IMHO) about Emily Oster, in The Atlantic, who suggested a 'pandemic amnesty'. 

As per Eugyppius "I don’t know much about the American pandemic pundits, but I gather that Brown University economist and “parenting guru” Emily Oster is far from the worst of them.". 

Very far from the worst and I bet there are many hoping the idea catches on...it won't.  The Naked Emperor today shows a few more of the scumbags...of the many...they were wrong, knowingly. They helped totalitarianism, they were 'the concentration camp guards' but with less of an excuse than those Nazi enablers. They demonised and in some cases drove to death many people. They will not be forgotten; they will not be forgiven. They are evil. They are Legion.

...they are known. 

Update: I am totally in agreement with - and have many things in common - with what Gary says [Coronababble] [hat-tip: Daily Sceptic] "One thing is for sure: We must never forget what the political leaders and public health specialists inflicted upon us. Whether the reason was weakness, groupthink, conflict of interest or unadulterated corruption, the miscreants must all be held to account and pay a price for terrorising the people they are meant to serve."

HAS: Do you have any people in your studio at the present time that you believe are Communist or Fascist, employed there? 

WD: No; at the present time I feel that everybody in my studio is one-hundred-percent American.

Interesting thought that Americans couldn't possibly be Communist or Fascist. Part of Walt Disney Testimony Before House Committee Transcript [transcript] H. A. Smith asking Walt Disney.

 

The image (left is from the 1943 Disney propaganda film Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi [Wiki]. We're all going full steam ahead and Godwin's Law was fulfilled ages ago. 

Bear with me, this is an introduction: well was Walt Disney a fascist or not? The Straight Dope from the noughties has a good non-partisan answer. That article also has some interesting links too, for those that enjoy the 'surf'; the transcript above and connection to ultra famous Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl - she of the amazing "technically dazzling" and "visually ravishing" 'Olympia' fame - being two. 

Anyhooo, you may not know where I am going with this but here's another nudge: "If Disney Doesn't Like Nazi Comparisons, Maybe They Should Stop Acting Like Them" writes Scott Hounsell at Red State, and guess what, he is not wrong: this is how it starts. The frog has been in the heating-up saucepan for a while now and - as the fable goes - still isn't noticing how hot it is getting. The news is of course that of ex MMA fighter turned actress Gina Carano, who was fired by Disney ['galactic hypocrisy'] because she compared the current drift towards hounding and cancelling of Trump supporter (maybe even the whole rabid, fleck-mouthed, totally wrong 'show trial' of impeachment) to the Nazi persecution of Jews. She retweeted a message that had a harrowing real photograph that showed exactly what the text said:

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views."

That is the worry, that is absolutely true, only last month the posts on The Reichstag Fire and oligarchy highlighted the path we ARE on; along with the ludicrous media circus regarding 'attempted coup', 'armed insurrection', 'attempted violent overthrow', 'one of the darkest day in recent American history', 'domestic terrorists', 'armed rioters' and other similar terms: coordinated, orchestrated, intentional...you can see what's happening? They are writing fake news for the future's history lessons. Is the Capitol building burning? is there a fire in the copula (left)?

Continuing the Nazi theme, some morons (yeah Arnie, joining Hollywood's bat-shit crazy brigade)  even compared the Capitol riot to Kristallnacht (and here we could circle right back to Leni Riefenstahl); I kid you not. The Nazi pogrom. 

"In two days and nights, more than 1,000 synagogues were burned or otherwise damaged. Rioters ransacked and looted about 7,500 Jewish businesses, killed at least 91 Jews, and vandalized Jewish hospitals, homes, schools, and cemeteries. The attackers were often neighbours." [Britannica]

Of course there are other and higher death estimates. Compare that real terror and fear felt by hundreds of thousands to [fake LOL AOC] fear and a few turned over chairs. How many of the hundreds of statues and large gilt framed artworks - very apparent in all the internal video evidence - were destroyed Arnie? How many windows broken Arnie, eight, as many as ten? How many buildings burned down? How many car fires? The "ransacked" offices still had all the computer screens on the desks, and chairs behind the desks..there were some documents strewn on the floor though...FFS.

Right on the heels of my previous post some agreement. Frederick Edward on the Conservative Woman blog: Coming our way soon, America’s Big Tech coup

IT’S A coup! Too right it’s a coup – it’s just not the one the media is trying to sell you.

The whole thing stinks. Events in Washington DC last Wednesday are being exploited in the most cynical and mendacious manner imaginable. If you aren’t worried yet, you should be. The proverbial has hit the fan.

Maybe he reads Owsblog ;-)

"In hysterically overreacting to these events, the Democratic Party and their gormless ‘conservative’ fellow-riders set the ground for an all-out assault on the populist insurgency of Trump, and ultimately, on the entirety of the Right. The gloves are off.

Get ready to hear the phrase ‘domestic terrorism’ a lot. This is the latest codeword to demonise the Right. Having been softened up by years of ‘the war on terror’, the term slips effortlessly into the common vernacular. Legitimate opposition will be reframed as criminal activity.

This is the Reichstag Fire of our era. It will be used to suppress all manner of resistance. Preliminary moves in the Left’s coup have already started. Social media platforms have silenced the incumbent President of the United States, shamelessly overturning the democratic order on the basis of a brazen lie. This is government by Big Tech, where the elites of Silicon Valley decide what you may or may not see and hear. Any society that values its freedom should be horrified by this, regardless of political persuasion."

'Don't be evil'...oh, they dropped that years ago.

Update 12th Jan: more required reading: Melanie Phillips [LINK]: "A president for all Americans who think like him":

"Fears for freedom and justice under a Democrat administration are already proving justified"... ..."We can already see that it’s not just Trump who is in the sights of the Democrats and the oligarchs of the left. It is also conservatives in general, the police, the US constitution and the indivisible principles of freedom, justice and equality."

(See * below)

Last month I pointed to the blog Consent Factory, Inc. In the final sentence of that blogpost, I highlighted "Where’s the Hitler?", another blogpost there. After the Capitol Building protest this is now worth revisiting. It is well worth a good read and the various links to multiple media outlets (some mainstream, and this is only a fraction of what there were, in many languages too) the wild Trump is Hitler accusations were everywhere. The point of the Consent factory post was that with only 5 or 6 weeks left of the Trump administration surely by now we would have seen something even remotely Fascistic, all that media, kept alive because Donald Trump bashing has enabled a whole new crazy world of fake news (and not just news: how much time, staff, money of the various hoaxes?). Can they now all just ignore it or claim they were only joking? 

"I mean, come on. Lawsuits? Recounts? Audits? Angry tweets? Golf, for Christsakes? This is not remotely Hitlerian behavior. You people promised us an attempted coup, a Reichstag fire, Nazi militias occupying the halls of Congress, stadiums full of Sieg-heiling rednecks, white-supremacist terrorists terrorizing everyone …" [sic] 

Well, Kit Knightly on Off-Guardian has this article: "The Storming of the Capitol: America’s Reichstag Fire?", "The four big lies underpinning this story show it was likely a staged event." Overtly and ominously the usual suspects in the media are 'already spinning a narrative around the events in Washington DC': 

"One that bears no resemblance to reality, does not hold up to any kind of scrutiny and will have massive, far-reaching consequences for all of us." 

I agree, and not just the media: most of the Democrats (naturally) are providing gold medal standard syncronised lying; Chuck Schumer – as part of an orchestrated and coordinated attack – has called for immediate removal and impeachment; Nancy Pelosi calling The Donald unhinged and unstable has "asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to make sure POTUS is prevented from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike" (FFS). ALL the mainstream media – including, disgracefully, almost all the major UK news outlets – are using words like coup, siege, insurrection etc. All ludicrous, all orchestrated. 

The Reichstag fire essentially created a one-party state and we saw what that led to; that is what we are seeing now, the difference being that in the 1930s it was the German President who passed the Reichstag Fire Decree immediately afterwards, which led to a severe restriction on civil rights; this time it won't be the incumbent President: "The decree nullified many of the key civil liberties of German citizens": 

With [...] in powerful positions in the government,
the decree was used as the legal basis for the imprisonment of anyone
considered to be opponents of the [..], and to suppress publications
not considered "friendly" to the [...] cause.

I have blanked out a single word three times to avoid polemic not that the word Nazi would be wrong, just that by removing it you actually see what the sentence says instead of only seeing "Nazi": although the polemic is often used, only in November for instance by the disgraceful Amanpour on CNN. Does the quoted sentence above ring any alarm bells? Does it worry you? We will see the same thing now, directed at 'domestic terrorists' but actually for anyone who doesn’t toe the line i.e., anyone remotely conservative. Think I am exagerrating? The Obama regime had a good go and has never stopped! The sinister, blatantly lying media, all the big tech giants (edit added: already joining in banning "the most powerful man in the world"...normal right-wingers will get the same), all the security acronyms, and the seemingly senile, nut-job Democrat politicians will be in total control. 

Where’s the Hitler? It certainly isn’t or wasn’t Donald Trump and it won’t be Biden…but…

*  It Can't Happen Here [Wiki] is a 1935 dystopian political novel describing the rise of a US dictator similar to how Adolf Hitler gained power. Scroll down to the last sentence of the 'Reception' section: since DJT announced he would run for President there has been a raging, shreiking, insane mob trying to discredit him.  The overt intransigence of the entire Democrat Party for
almost the entire last 5 years, supported as already mentioned by a tsunami of
fake news – in which high ranking UK politicians are involved perhaps hence the
totally out of reality coverage against Trump) - means the future is not bright and it certainly isn't orange either.

Update: edited twice, for typos mainly and to add blog title belatedly.
