Cook County, Illinois, Judge James Shapiro reached a new low in covid tyranny by forbidding Rebecca Firlit from seeing her 11-year-old son until she receives a covid vaccine. Judge Shapiro is not alone in abusing judicial power to force individuals to get vaccinated. Judges across the country have ordered defendants to get covid vaccines, sometimes as a condition of avoiding prison. This outbreak of judicial tyranny is a symptom of the authoritarianism pandemic that is the real threat to America.
Corporations are imposing requirements, including that employees show proof of vaccination, pay more for health insurance if they have not had a covid vaccine, and undergo regular (in some cases weekly) covid tests. An increasing number of state and local governments are requiring their employees and even people working in some private jobs to take covid vaccines, as well as imposing vaccine passport requirements on people generally.
President Biden has urged employers to implement vaccine mandates, and government is working with its big tech allies to develop “model” vaccine passports.
Government approved model vaccine requirements combined with government officials encouraging their adoption send the message to businesses that imposing vaccine requirements on their employees, and maybe their customers as well, is a good way to stay in the politicians and bureaucrats’ good graces.
An effective way for the US government to “encourage” adoption of vaccine mandates and vaccine passports is denying federal funds to businesses, states, local governments, and other institutions that refuse to require employees, customers, or other people to prove they are vaccinated. This will result in vaccine requirements while enabling government to claim it is not forcing vaccines on anyone.
President Biden is already planning for the US government denying Medicare and Medicaid funding to nursing homes that do not require their employees to prove they are vaccinated. This could result in staff shortages at nursing homes. A short-staffed nursing home poses a much greater risk to residents than a nursing home with a staff comprised of healthy, unvaccinated individuals. Texas is experiencing a nursing shortage thanks in part to hospitals firing unvaccinated nurses.
Health care workers have good reason to resist vaccine mandates. Many individuals have died or suffered other adverse effects — including miscarriages — after receiving a vaccine.
Some people try to justify vaccine mandates and vaccine passports by saying that, by risking infecting others, unvaccinated individuals endanger other people. However, the federal Centers for Disease Control recently admitted that covid vaccines do not prevent the spread of infections. In addition, the claim that we are having a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” relies on data collected from early in the year — before many Americans had taken covid vaccines.
An important objection is that, if government can force people to take a potentially dangerous vaccine to protect against a hypothetical harm to others, the same reasoning would support the imposing of many additional liberty violations. These could include, for example, “red flag” laws and other forms of gun control, restrictions on access to “extremist” ideas, or a system of mass surveillance to prevent possible future acts of violence. The argument that government can use force to prevent hypothetical harms renders restraint on government power meaningless.
It is imperative that we support the growing resistance to vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. We must also expand the resistance to covid authoritarianism to resistance to all forms of government infringements on liberty.

China set the propaganda war by filming and distributing via social media blood dripped actors falling “dead” in their streets.
Let us recreate those scenes and show the “actors” getting up after the ‘shoot’.
Why not indeed?
Because involved mods have no time for loonies.
The blog is just a parody now, instead of serious discussions, interspersed with banter we now have a blog where dog-baiting is the main sport, interspersed with some sane comments.
Why should we tolerate schools that are increasingly woke hotbeds of social engineering, critical race theory and gender fluidity? Of course, parents have always been scandalised by their children. The rites of passage of childhood are littered with transgressive milestones.
A tattoo here, a piercing there. But this is different. A generation of children is emerging who don’t just believe their parents to be wrong – they’re taught to think we’re bad. Take Scotland, which has plunged down international league tables for science and maths in recent years, but where kids as young as four can now change their name and gender without their parent’s consent under new LGBT rules.
As of last month Scottish teachers are also urged to take a white privilege test and tell pupils that the concept of race was developed by Europeans to justify ‘crimes against humanity’. The SNP government in Edinburgh may be at the tip of the woke spear, but the rest of Britain isn’t far behind.
A couple of months ago the National Education Union, which has 450,000 members across the UK, said the way classrooms are laid out was “shaped by colonisation” and the teaching of every subject needed to be reassessed in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests. A lot of this stuff pre-dates Black Lives Matter.
Look at the lessons your children will be taught in history and ask yourself why it’s now America’s Civil Rights’ Movement or the Atlantic Slave Trade and no longer the English Civil War or the French Revolution.
Look at the English Literature reading lists to see how certain novels have been airbrushed for being inappropriate, the latest, ludicrously, being Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird. Ask yourself why it is that schools will fine you, the parent, for keeping your child off school, but won’t stop pupils taking the day off school to support Greta Thunburg.
Polls show no support for the woking of the curriculum. But here’s the thing. An extreme minority within the Teaching Establishment would love to peddle left-wing politics in the classroom. To continue what the Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci called the Slow March Through the Institutions. But that would be too overt. With identity politics, insidiously, they have found a way.
Bear, just hang back and sit it out. This place bounces back and can be quite good at times. The other place, well, it feels like I’d be intruding into a small group conversation. The nut bags are annoying here, but at least it’s not like the Conservative version of the ABC where everyone agrees with each other.

A woke northern suburbs council needs a new street sweeper – but men need not apply.
The same council that last week resolved to rid the world of nuclear weapons has advertised a $63,000 a year job as a street sweeper operator and explicitly banned men from lodging their resume.
According to the job listing on Darebin Council’s website, the position is for a “non-male identified person” only, including those who are “non-binary” and “agender”.
At the bottom of the same listing is a note saying Darebin Council is an “Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate in its selection and employment practices”.
It has locked men out of the job under Section 12 of the Equal Opportunity Act, which allows an employer to take a “special measure” to promote equality for people with a particular attribute.
