Sass Formation High Gnosis

Four separate thoughts, and a conclusion, on a related topic.

One:

Covid hysteria is an elevator door — it stops if you block it.

Over the last couple of weeks, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer has warned that the county was sliding down the Covid panic chute into a high rate of community transmission, and would be resuming an indoor mask mandate.

Then the two cities in the county that independently fund their own municipal health departments, Pasadena and Long Beach, announced that they wouldn’t follow the county into a new mandate. This is a big deal, because both “independent” city health departments have spent much of the pandemic to date independently discovering that the super-scienceish data tells them to follow in lock-step behind the county.

Simultaneously, two cities that don’t have municipal health departments, and so have to live under the authority of the county health agency, decided in very public ways that they wouldn’t help the county enforce a new mandate. Again, this is a departure, as city police and code enforcement officers have previously helped to enforce county pandemic mandates. From the website of the City of El Segundo:

Watching cities bail out, Ferrer reassessed the data — the data, she swears! — and at the last moment discovered suddenly that the science doesn’t require a mask mandate.

Listen to the way the local media talks to her about this change of course:

Wow! This question by @FoxPhil.🔥 In the previous question, @MarlaTellez asked if public pressure played a role in the decision not to mandate masks. Ferrer basically answered “No, it was based on the data points I just came up with today.”

This is all it took to end Barbara Ferrer’s reign of hysteria in its third year, and all it ever would have taken: the word no. And she’s become a pathetic figure, personally awkward and not particularly respected. This is a positive development.

Two:

Health care workers in Illinois pushed out of their jobs for refusing the mRNA injections, or coerced into taking the mRNA injections to keep their jobs, have accepted a $10.3 million settlement to end their lawsuit against NorthShore University HealthSystem. All over the country, hospital administrators are reading this news in the trade press:

And they all know that they’ll be taking their turn at writing this check. This is a positive development.

Three:

People are speaking calmly and clearly about excess deaths caused by the mRNA injections that don’t stop transmission and infection, the “vaccines”:

The unspeakable fact of vaccine-caused deaths, the social media account closure claim, is becoming a sustained, persistent, unabashed discussion. This is a positive development.

Four:

And finally, we know now beyond the slightest possibility of doubt that the public sphere has been manipulated by a state-corporate repressive partnership, the details of which should end careers. Government officials directly told social media companies to silence individual users over Covid-19 posts, and social media companies did so. Look at this one. Individual accounts and particular posts targeted by government, and corporations that did what they were told. Remember this the next time someone tells you that these are private companies that can do what they want. They have chosen to serve as government-aligned entities, as the state in a different office building.

So:

Two-plus years of an extraordinary state-corporate repressive partnership, aimed at manipulating your mind and limiting your access to information — two-plus years of corporate state gleichschaltung, of coordinated propaganda — have led to widespread popular disgust, and to a moment in which authority has become impotent and absurd.

Government and their corporate partners fought a war for your mind, and they lost.

Today is a good day. Keep going.
