This just adds credence to the perception that the virus is being used as a form of control over the rights and liberties of the US population. The daily infection rate updates are breathlessly delivered by reporters to keep the easily manipulated quaking in their shoes. You can see them, driving alone, in their cars, with a mask, visor and gloves on. These are the people anxiously awaiting a 95% effective vaccine for a virus with a 99% survival rate.

State governments are using the virus as justification to shut down small businesses, limit our movements, close schools and places of worship, and mandate mail-in voting.

The whole situation feels like an enormous scheme to damage a booming economy, wrestle the presidency from Donald Trump, undo the successes of his administration, grant citizenship to every illegal alien that can get over the border, and deliver control of the nation to the liberals forever.

Doctors and scientists that report differently than the main stream media are suppressed and silenced. Posting the wrong information on social media can get your account suspended, or at least have a warning label applied to your post. A CDC report that cites the number of deaths from covid, without any co-morbidities, as less than 10,000 gets little exposure. Death by misadventure or terminal illness can be listed as covid related. The number of deaths from the flu seems to have magically evaporated. Covid deaths continue to climb and Donald Trump is getting the blame despite his being proactive from the beginning and being mocked for it at the time.

Within two weeks of the election, the more tyrannical of the governors and mayors are closing their states and cities just as we are entering holiday season. Requirements of negative virus tests prior to travel, and within days of arrival, to avoid quarantine are appearing worldwide. Restaurants are being closed and liquor sales are being restricted, and curfews are appearing. The curfew can be ignored, as long as one is rioting. Refusal to abide by these strict regulations will get you arrested, if you are not an elected official. We are already being warned of national lockdowns and mask mandates if the Biden-Harris administration comes to power. A few state governors have said that they would refuse to comply with such edicts.

There was a time when we could rely on Fox News to tell us what the rest of the media wouldn't. But their priorities have changed and now there is no major media outlet that can be trusted. The smaller news bureaus, such as Breitbart, Newsmax and OANN are suppressed by Google, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. And Parler is being vilified by the left because it doesn't practice censorship.

We being lied to and there seems to be little that we can do about it. The Ministry of Truth is telling us to shut up and obey. Re-indoctrination may be required if you practice 'wrong thinking'. To be a conservative is to be an enemy of the state,
