President Biden announces vaccine mandates Sept 9, 2021<\/p>\n
If you have not yet read the book 1984 by George Orwell, you absolutely must.<\/p>\n
I loathed that novel when I read it as a teen, because I hated the entire idea of an authoritarian government controlling its people so deftly. The dystopian world it described was just so depressing, so wrong, from the first page to the last. And yet, here we are, 80 years after Orwell first penned the book, and we see how that hellish science fiction novel is now playing out before us. Even the left-leaning Wikipedia describes the book as a \u201ccautionary tale\u201d whose theme centers on \u201cthe consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society.\u201d Modelled on the authoritarian states of Stalin\u2019s Soviet Union and of Nazi Germany, the book takes a deep dive into the role of truth within a society, and the ways in which truth and facts can be manipulated by government to control the population. What you saw and heard with your own eyes and your own ears, the government denied and demanded you cast it aside and not believe it.<\/p>\n
Through the Ministry of Truth, the government (referred to in the book as \u201cBig Brother\u201d or \u201cthe Party\u201d) engages in endless propaganda, intense surveillance, and the open and obvious negating of historical fact. Individual thought, and questioning of authority led to immediate persecution. Why deny facts and rewrite history? Well, as Orwell says in the book,<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s fastforward to present day. I will begin with this profound statement that keeps churning over in my head:<\/p>\n
The \u201cthey\u201d is our government (federal and state). The \u201cwe\u201d is you and me, and the other 300+ million Americans across our country.<\/p>\n
Alas, here we are, entering the final quarter of 2023, and we have the United States government, and many state governments (including New York\u2019s former Governor Andrew Cuomo, current left-wing Governor Kathy Hochul, and the super-majority Dem legislature) proclaiming for all to hear that they did not force anyone to do anything detrimental these past 3.5 years. UNBELIEVABLE! Did you hear this? They are actually saying with straight faces that they didn\u2019t force you to wear a mask, or lockdown and shutter your businesses, or choose between taking an experimental drug or losing your job\u2026 Nope! They did none of that. And you – well, you are flat out crazy if you think they did. You are lying. You are exaggerating and totally overreacting.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Big Brother, ooops, I mean unfortunately for our 100% reliable, never-lies-to-us government, we have actual documents (including lawsuits), news stories, social media posts, and videos of the government at all levels mandating and forcing us to do all of those things, and more. Here\u2019s just one example of Biden himself, the \u201cBig Guy,\u201d mandating the C19 shot:<\/p>\n
