Dr. Tom Woods continues to be a great source for COVID-related stories. Every time the Left gets too far out over their skis, he is there to expose them and their allies in the media. Below is another such post from Dr. Woods.
The Orwellian proposals keep piling up, and Ron DeSantis continues to be a hero.
When Joe Biden hinted weeks ago at the possibility of further lockdowns, DeSantis spoke to the press and said that that would absolutely not be happening in Florida.
When it sounded as if Biden might restrict travel to Florida, DeSantis pledged to resist.
Oh, and by the way: the anti-Florida ghouls are reduced to claiming that DeSantis must be suppressing Florida’s true numbers.
Ha, yeah, that’s plausible! So this theory is that the hospitals in Florida are actually bursting at the seams with COVID patients, but we can’t know that because the official numbers aren’t reliable?
I see. So every single hospital is in on the grand conspiracy, too? Not even one bit of anecdotal evidence of hospital overflow has managed to escape a single hospital?
It’s almost sad what the Doomers are reduced to.
In a way it’s encouraging, though: these people cannot explain Florida’s numbers without dreaming up wild conspiracies. That means they’re implicitly admitting that Florida’s numbers are great. Otherwise they wouldn’t need to be explained away.
Well, now DeSantis is resisting vaccine passports — the Orwellian idea proposed by whoever is running Joe Biden — as well.
“It’s completely unacceptable,” he said. “You want to go to a movie theater, should you have to show that? No. You want to go to a game, [or] a theme park? No. So we’re not supportive of that.”
He is pledging to take executive action, as early as today.
As Jeff Deist put it, “No private business or industry would require vaccine passports without state sanction and a strong assist from lapdog media to overcome the terrible PR optics. It’s a sick and crazy idea.”
Meanwhile, check out media coverage of Florida. The New York Times just ran an article about rising “cases” in one of the four states in this chart. Which one do you suppose it was?
(Dark blue is New York, light blue is New Jersey, green is Michigan, and pink is Florida.)
(Source: Financial Times analysis of data from the Johns Hopkins CSSE.)
Yes, they looked at those lines and decided to write an article about Florida’s “rising cases.”
Meanwhile, back on this planet, here’s a comparison they won’t make (but thanks to @yinonw on Twitter for making it):
Now which governor is facing a recall vote due to his absolutely inept handling of the COVID scam? Hint: It’s not the one where the state unemployment rate is 4.7%. Of course, you will not hear this from the NYTimes or WaPo. The prospect of a recall election does not fit with their narrative of how good a job the blue state governors have been doing. ...
The following says so much about the individuals who were working in the DOJ during the last few decades. It also points out and exposes the totalitarian nature of the left.
Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor who now works at least occasionally for MSNBC, wants all businesses in this country to take a pledge that states in part that “The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results.”
The “Democracy Pledge” is nothing of the sort. It is an attempt to cement a lie into existence. This pledge is clearly a violation of the 1st and 5th Amendments. The Pledge also includes an affirmation supporting democracy as part of supporting this egregious falsehood.
More and more people are noticing that Beijing Biden will not take spontaneous questions from the media. During the Trump administration, the most transparent administration in my lifetime, PDJT routinely took questions from the media. This was on an almost daily basis whenever PDJT departed from the White House to go somewhere or arrived at a location where there were members of the press corps waiting. These impromptu press conferences often lasted 20, 30, 40 minutes. While some members of the press may have tried to trip up PDJT, the fact is there was give and take in these sessions that has not been seen between a president and the press corps in a very long time. ...
By now most of us who actually have followed the science know just how ridiculous the various mandates to “keep us safe” have been. Dr. Tom Woods has been at the forefront of actually revealing through statistical surveys just what the effects of some of these restrictions are and are not. While I am sure that many of us are tired of the COVID nonsense, the frauds in our government agencies “protecting us” continue to hype nonsense. So, it is important to continue to refute their insanity.
Recently Tom Woods attended an in-person conference at the Mises Institute and has shared his experiences in and around the conference. I have reproduced his report below.

I have been writing for a long time about the usurping of Americans’ constitutional rights under the guise of a pandemic. The lockdowns, and other restrictive measures (no in-person religious services, no face-to-face schooling, wearing masks, etc.) is leading America to becoming a totalitarian state. The populace is being trained to submit to any and all dictates coming from our elected politicians. This is always couched inside the rhetoric of this being for one’s own good.
Naomi Wolf is an American liberal, feminist author, journalist and former political advisor to Al Gore and Bill Clinton. Wolf was an advisor to Bill Clinton’s successful run for a second term in 1996 for the Presidency. Wolf has written a number of books including the bestseller The End of America released in 2007.
This week Wolf appeared, believe it or not, on Tucker Carlson’s show. As Tucker noted, he’s sure she probably lost friends just for doing that. Such is the nature of the Cancel Culture in this country.
Why did she take this step which must have been fraught with trepidation for her? Even though she is someone who might be characterized as being on the Left, Wolf sees what is going on in the country as the precursor to a full-on police state. In her mind this transcends everything liberals and conservatives might disagree on. The people must unite to fight back against this appropriation of our liberties.

This seems to be my week for visiting historical parallels. Daniel Greenfield has written an article for Frontpage Mag that does an excellent job of drawing parallels between the current actions of the Democratic Party and their allies and totalitarian governments of the past. I will be drawing liberally from the article.
Of course, historical parallels need not be controlling of future events. But, there is danger in failing to learn from the lessons of history. It is best to be prepared. The lessons that we derive from historical events is a highly recommended first step in that preparation.
While walls, razor wire, and military encampments rise outside the halls of government, inside them the Democrats have unleashed a true coup. Protesters have “stormed” Congress before, from both the Left and the Right, which cannot be called overthrowing the government. But Democrats began their own overthrow by launching an unconstitutional post-office impeachment of President Trump for speaking at a peaceful protest and a push to remove Senate members who objected to the stolen election by abusing the 14th Amendment.
The fake emergency has been extended to March. The FBI continues falsely claiming that there is some sort of threat that requires 7,500 soldiers to conduct a military occupation of the nation’s capital. The FBI’s claims that this threat would occur during “First Amendment-protected protests” has a massive credibility problem because there have been no protests in D.C.

Has the media entered into an echo chamber or fantasy land where what they say matters little to most Americans?
Rasmussen and others conduct regular polls on the popularity and support for POTUS. On January 5th, PDJT’s job approval rating was 47%. Then came the rally to Save America on January 6th which was followed by some Antifa types and some pro-Trump loonies invading the Capitol building.
Since then, there has been firestorm of coverage from the media denouncing the President, charging sedition, incitement to riot, an attempted coup and calling for his impeachment. The Democrats have obliged by ginning up another false impeachment proceeding. They even managed to convince a small number of Republicans to join them.
As noted yesterday, we are faced with an unprecedented assault on our liberties and freedoms. And the MSM are leading the charge. And they are not going to stop. They put words in people’s mouths to condemn them. They invent narratives to meet their needs. The current “reporting” on January 6th is a theatrical production designed to oust the President and his followers, to shame people who have done nothing wrong and to end the American republic.
Marty Owen has published a piece over at wnd.com that I will excerpt here. The basic tenet that Owen makes is that one needs to use reason and common sense when evaluating the narratives put forward by the lame-stream media.
