“Government As An Occupying Force”

Posted on April 15, 2021July 11, 2021 by bencassman
“Where . . . the government is thought to possess authority just as the people consent, no intrinsic limit exists. If the people consent to something, the government, in a positivistic fashion, is assumed to have the requisite power. It turns out that popular sovereignty is a covert route to totalitarianism.
“Only where authority is ultimately located in God is the government limited in a stable, definable fashion. For example, since all authority comes from God, the government has no authority to approve abortion or same-sex marriage, the consent of the governed notwithstanding. Similarly, the government has no authority to separate us, to keep us from church, or to remove our livelihoods due to a generally nonlethal respiratory virus, the consent of the governed notwithstanding.
“We now reach the question why the government’s response to SARS-CoV-2 has succeeded in the present era. One can imagine the response would have failed decades ago when society was more united. People with a strong social identity will not sacrifice their communities for a generally nonlethal respiratory virus. Only a collection of individuals could tolerate this insinuation of government into the spaces between them.”

The young and the naïve will ask, “But why would they do that when they know it will lead to higher unemployment among the young and the poor”?
If you’ve read your history you know the answer is, “Because they know this is a necessary step to guarantee greater dependence upon the government by ever-increasing numbers of the population, ensuring their votes for the ruling elite.”

Should You Get The Vaccine?

Posted on January 20, 2021June 30, 2021 by bencassman
For those of you considering the vaccine:
“As of December 18, 2020, the adverse event rate in the U.S. was 2.79%. This means your risk of harm from the vaccine is far greater than your risk of dying from COVID-19, which has an overall noninstitutionalized infection fatality rate of just 0.26%. Among those under the age of 40, the infection fatality rate is a mere 0.01%.”

“I Survived A Chinese Re-Education Camp”

Posted on January 14, 2021July 1, 2021 by bencassman
Coming to a city near you in 2021, courtesy of the Never-Trumpers:
“He ordered us to remain still. This could last half an hour, or just as often a whole hour, or even more. When it did, our legs began to prickle all over with pins and needles. Our bodies, still warm and restless, struggled not to sway in the moist heat.
We could smell our own foul breath. We were panting like cattle. Sometimes, one or another of us would faint. If she didn’t come round, a guard would yank her to her feet and slap her awake. If she collapsed again, he would drag her out of the room, and we’d never see her again.”
