The Gray Mandates

Recently, a scholarly article in a legal journal caught my attention. The article's author, a prominent globalist, hypothesized that all mandates having a scientific premise were universally applicable. With great clarity, he pointed out how the vaccine mandates would apply even to the grays with whom he has had close encounters over the years.

"Being universalists, the grays are simply an extension of us and we of them", said he

For months, I've been perplexed by numbers that don't add up, by logic that doesn't square, and by the 'look the other way' attitude of the plundering mandaters.

The word foolish, as I understand it, applies to all conduct stemming from ignorance. Foolish behavior, therefore, is inherently global.

While there is plenty of expertise on the subject of foolishness, I can certify only to its ability to steer a gradual course. Others I've listened to have spoken with enough authority on the subject to convince me that foolishness is armed with quick strike capacity. To some degree, we are all fools.

Nevertheless, there is in your circle of friends and acquaintances (and hopefully in mine), the essence of humanity. As part of this essence, I would dare assert there is a capacity to rethink matters and to reflect by deeds evidence of a changed mind. I would also assert that without this capacity there is little hope for them as moral beings; and far worse, there is less hope for you! Without the opportunity of witnessing a changed life as a result of rethinking, there is little chance of a rebirth of some sort in yours.

There is however a type of foolishness that is ghoulish in nature. It is a garish variety and a dangerous one that persists because the DNA of repentance is lacking in those who present with it.

The result? Creepy policies that keep getting creepier. In the beginning of the Covid pandemic there was a nationwide mask mandate with nationwide lock downs on brick and mortar retail businesses. Now, there is the push for vaccine mandates which aims to isolate and asphyxiate those who do not comply.

The discriminatory effects of vaccine mandates are so severe that one would have to be totally convinced that it is the correct course of action for a society one has already determined is desparate.

Do you not find it strange that no alternative to mandates has ever been part of mainstream dialog or that the treatments that have aided in the recovery of scores of people afflicted with the worst symptoms of the illness have never been publicized and mightily praised?

Do you not find the “woe is the world like never before Covid" mindset that gave the authoritarians the carte blanche to destroy the brick and mortar retail sector and to elevate on line retail, biotech, and medical/scientific research, not the least bit insincere, if not altogether nauseating?

I am a nationalist, and as such, not an extension of the globalists or of their gray friends.

It galls me that some people can't keep needles and other such thrills to themselves.

"We are not alone in the universe!" People have have been saying for years.

I am not alone in my views. There are a lot of people fed up with the needle b.s. who don't identify as white.

To the globalists, these non-white non-comformists are deplorable ignoramuses even if not 'supremely so'.

Naturally, I prefer not to think of healthy skeptics of a different stripe as fellow deplorables. I like the phrase "nascent nationalist"

It almost gives me the fuzzies.
