The videos are eerie. People locked in their apartments and reportedly unable to obtain food. Thousands of desperate voices screaming in unison through the windows of large building complexes. Mass Covid-19 quarantine camps. Government drones hovering about commanding you to “curb your soul’s desire for freedom.” A mass slaughter of people’s pets, with cats in mesh bags on the sidewalk waiting to be killed and dogs beaten to death on the street. No, this isn’t Putin-assailed Ukraine.
But it is the “largest prison camp in human history,” said Tucker Carlson last night, referring to the totalitarian coronavirus lockdown of Shanghai, China, a city of 25 million people. And here’s what’s even scarier:
The “Chinese government isn’t denying this is real, and it’s not apologizing,” the Fox News host added, before asking, “Has there ever been a clearer picture of what hell is like?”
It’s ironic, too, since our pseudo-elites would have us believe the Devil incarnate is Russian president Vladimir Putin. Speaking of the demonic, though, there’s something more frightening still:
Some of our pseudo-elites are defending China, Carlson avers, before playing a clip of NIAID head Anthony Fauci gently massaging Beijing’s role in creating, and response to, Covid. Providing even more shocking examples, the commentator then related that a “long time Harvard epidemiologist called Eric Feigel-Ding just wrote an op-ed explaining that we should all be grateful for the atrocities the Chinese government is committing in Shanghai tonight because they’re in ‘everyone’s interest.’ A health security expert called Nicholas Thomas just told CNN that Shanghai is an inspiration to the world’s leaders.”
“The legacy of Shanghai will see a return to mass lockdowns for larger cities in the near to medium term,” Carlson quoted Thomas as having predicted.
Now, you may remember the early 2020 video from China in which hazmat-suited officials were forcing people into quarantine camps and spraying down streets. This no doubt stoked American fear and helped provide a pretext for our Covid restrictions. And today, once again, our pseudo-elites are making Mao proud.
Carlson mentioned how Philadelphia is resurrecting an indoor mask mandate despite having virtually no China virus deaths and that the Biden administration is, according to a report, planning to restore its “lunatic” mRNA therapy agent (MTA, a.k.a. “vaccine”) mandate for federal employees. This is despite the fact that the currently dominant Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant is not very deadly; that Covid is entirely treatable; and that, as liberal author Naomi Wolf pointed out later on Carlson’s program, studies have shown definitively that coronavirus restrictions aren’t effective and lockdowns don’t work — except to cause more death and destruction. (The Daily Mail just reported on this.)
But this has long been known to the point where rehashing it now amounts to spinning your wheels. It’s clear that the COVID response is not and never was governed by rationality, but something else.
Carlson mentions that with midterm elections coming up and polls showing the Democrats poised for a shellacking, their only chance for victory is to game the system (e.g., mail-in balloting) as they did in 2020. So it could be time to fire up the Covid campaign team.
As to why China is doubling down on irrational Branch Covidianism, commentator Andrea Widburg echoes a theory Carlson propounded. President Xi Jinping “isn’t doing this to stop COVID’s spread,” she suggested. “Instead, he’s doing it to remind an increasingly Westernized Shanghai that the Chinese Communist Party is still in control.”
While there are other possible explanations, Beijing is under this theory like a silverback gorilla that will, on occasion, humiliate a lesser troop member just to remind everyone who’s boss.
And, unfortunately, our would-be betters are following China’s lead. As Carlson related after mentioning our move toward reinstituting Covid restrictions:
At Love Field in Dallas, two robots known as “Security Control Observation Towers” — SCOT for short — scan the crowd to make sure that everyone is in compliance. Now with facial recognition software, the robots could know exactly who the disobedient are.
We’re just beginning to see the outlines of the repression that COVID has made possible. That’s the point, and if we want to know what the future looks like, you can look at China and shiver.
In the state of California, the state is starting to pull funding from any school that won’t comply with the new mandate, a vaccine mandate for children. Joe Biden endorses that. Inject your children with a drug with no actual benefits, or no education for your family .
None of this is surprising, however; it reflects why some Western pseudo-elites romanticize Beijing. Just consider here ultra-liberal Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s 2013 remark about how there’s “a level of admiration” he has for China.
This attitude isn’t hard to understand, either, as many entering politics do so because they’re megalomaniacs — power-mongers. If you lust after sex, you envy the guy who has hundreds of women a year. If you lust after food, you envy the fellow who can clear a table like a hurdler and not gain an ounce. If you lust after money, you envy Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. And if you lust after power, you, likewise, envy those who have the most of what you crave.
Of course, don’t forget that our pseudo-elites are also paid off, making millions off Beijing while selling America out. This further explains why there’s Putin Derangement Syndrome but no criticism of Xi, the dictator with one million minorities in concentration camps.
Yet if you had to live in Russia or China, which one would you choose? Before answering, take a gander at one of the devices (video below) the Chinese use for Shanghai COVID enforcement.
China is the closest thing we have to an alien civilization on Earth. It’s delivering what smacks of a science-fiction film dystopia, too. It’s all too real, though, and could be coming to a town near you.
