Plutocracy (a country or society governed by the wealthy), Autocracy (a system of government by one person with absolute power) and kleptocracy (use political power to appropriate the wealth of their nation) are all familiar words to the folk that pick up a book and read it more often than not. They uncouthly are not terms familiar to low information voters on the progressive end of the bandwagon unless they are of the coastal elites. This week I was informed of a new term by the unexampled and albeit younger Gregory Gutfeld. The word allegedly he purported to parent was Covidtocracy. Now I don’t know if he made it up or not, I just know I am unlike Joe Biden and consider stealing the words of others as being sacrosanct. He did not provide a definition so II will take the time out to do so in particular as it vest personal liberty. 

Although there is a large corpus of research that shows that lockdowns, mask wearing (cloth or surgical – see 1, 2, & 3) and social distancing is ineffective in stopping the spread of Covid (as with any other airborne virus) US progressive politicians still promote these actions all which are unconstitutional and antithetical to the right to privacy and individual liberty. Ironically, progressives used to support this perspective, frequently saying the government should not be able to intrude on decisions made in the home, or that they should not be able to dictate what goes on in one’s bedroom, or in your home. They even repeated that the government should not and can not tell you where to go to school, who to marry and that it was your body and your choice. Now things have changed as the great reset progressive liberals demand is on the way. They can with a straight face order that you behave as they demand by wearing a mask all the time, even in your own home or be fined or arrested.

DC Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser says her trip to Biden's Delaware celebration was "essential" though Delaware is on her city’s list of "high risk" states. Mayor Bowser is now extending restrictions on small businesses and restaurants with new foolishness. Chicago Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot defends her haircut during lockdown saying: “I’m the public face of this city" and her celebration of Joe Biden in a large crowd despite her own rules about mass gatherings. She is now calling for restrictions on gatherings and calling for the canceling of in-person Thanksgiving dinner. Oregon's Democratic Gov. Kate Brown has called for 'limiting social gatherings to no more than six people from a maximum of two separate households.' California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced additional restrictions including but not limited to “mandatory requirements for all gatherings,” stating: "all private gatherings must limit the number of attendees and are required to be held outside," names must be collected "of all attendees and contact information in case contact tracing is needed later.” He is also keeping schools closed and in motion to clamp down on small businesses and restaurants via the implementation of a curfew.  Awkwardly, the same man who can send his son to in class private school and caught not following his own COVID-19 protocols by eating at the French Laundry restaurant in Yountville, California at an exclusive and expensive dinner party. Michigan Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer recently announced a new set of restrictions on indoor gatherings  for three weeks starting which will close schools and end indoor dining at bars and restaurants.  This from the woman who is having a new protective wall built around her residence and who's husband ignored guidance for the rest of the state by asking to have his boat placed in the water before the Memorial Day weekend, saying his wife was the Governor. 

We cannot forget Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi getting her haircut, claiming the salon set her up or Democrat Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney caught dining indoors in NJ while indoor dining was prohibited in his own city. We also have Democrat VA Gov Ralph "blackface or KKK hood' Northam caught not wearing a mask at Virginia Beach after calling mask wearing on state beaches mandatory, NYC Democrat Mayor Bill DeBlasio caught going to the gym the day that Cuomo announced all gyms in the state would shut down to in an attempt to stop the spread of Covid and Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker, whose family flew to Florida on a private jet while  stay at home orders he called for forbidden such were in place and again is headed there himself on his private jet for Thanksgiving. I could continue but you get the picture.

The point is that these individuals are not making these decisions based on law, but rather individual greed for power. There is no science to suggest that risk of contracting Covid is a function of sitting or tanning in the dry versus wet areas of sand as Gov. Newsom called for. There is no science to support that closing bars, restaurants and gyms  at 10 p.m. will reduce the risk of contracting or spreading Covid. What makes 10pm different from 10:05pm, 10:30pm, or 9:45pm? Nothing these are random and arbitrary actions without any science to support their utility.

Progressives have shown their real desires during this pandemic. The first is to use Covid as a political wealth on the behalf of big tech, the political class and the media and the second is to seize control and destroy individual liberty. Progressive liberalism has made a complete 360 degree turn from their anti-government intrusion mantra to demanding that citizens do what they say: where a mask all the time in your home or risk being arrested or fined, no family allowed over for Thanksgiving, or if allowed they can only be immediate family and no more than six or else go to jail. Again for the party saying we follow the science, it must be invisible because no science has supported these actions. What makes six different from five, seven, ten or twelve? Nothing because there isn't any.

This entire comportment is just a prediction of things to come. It is the elite telling us in a not subtle way that we are not capable of thinking for ourselves, that we are not competent to make our own individual risk assessments based on our own unique circumstances. It as if they are saying only the government, in far away Washington, D.C. or some lonesome state capital can make decisions for us all and the rest of us should just shut up, take it and do what they say and not as they do. I just wonder, if you refuse, what punishment can the make up? Will they take your guns, your home or your kids for retribution?

Nothing man ca do will ever stop a virus, it is undefeated versus man. Look at history if you think I am being hyperbolic.  The evidence is clear that Covid is no worse or less as dangerous than any virus past or to come. Currently, the us has 75.56 deaths per 100,000 cases and compared to Mortality in the most affected countries, our 2.2% overall is better than France, Belgium, Spain, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy not to mention the US case fatality rateAccording to the CDC, there were 2,839,205 deaths in 2018, of which 655,381 from Heart disease and 599,274 from cancer in concert. As it stands currently, the US is on pace to have less deaths with Covid.

Now back to Mr. Gutfeld. The Covidtocracy is real. Lockdowns, the illusion of social distancing or mask wearing do not stop the social spread of a virus. This is the science. What we see is that these rules are put in place by edict singularly, not backed by science and that the ones putting these rules or measures in place violate them yet still desire to put and hold others accountable when they are not. It as if they think the great citizenry of the US cannot think for themselves - something that China and Saudi Arabia implement frequently. In concert with corporate media, Silicon Valley and the east and west coast progressive class, all of these efforts from controlling and dictating speech and what you can read to not questioning their authority, are not for the purpose of safety, but rather a reflection of their penchant for control over the people. This is the Covidtocracy. There goal is not the well-being of America, nor to put America first, but rather using political fiat to suggest either we be quiet and obey and to think like them or risk social ridicule and ostracization. They desire passivity in an effort to control dissent. This is the America they desire, one were personal liberty and individual responsibility is abrogated and where all of the control of all, from thought to the ability to work and think freely is in their hands. Orwell could have never imagined this great reset, but wait, yes he did.

Hard not to notice the goal post continuously moving as the game is being played in this new age brave new world. Once ago such was a sign of poor sportsmanship (yes, I used the word man so sue me) to change the rules before they were tested and accepted by all parties involved. Now it is commonplace, not only to change the rules but also have one set of standards for one team and another for thee. The examples are too numerous to count. There was the so-called #metoo movement. It was all the craze during the Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh hearing with the mantra of 'believe all women echoing like a loud bellow in a canyon.  That is, until Harvey Weinstein came around and the first nail was hammered I the coffin. Subsequent nails are still being added with the allegations against former Vice President Joe Bidden by his former Senate staffer Tara Reade and before that, with the report on an alleged affair between Katie Hill and a staffer, to which she eventually she admitted was "inappropriate." Most recently, there is Cal Cunningham (D-NC) who is running for the U.S Senate who has had a sexting scandal emerge as well as allegations of multiple extramarital affairs – all while running a campaign rooted on honor, integrity and family values.

Then there is the recent trend of cancel-culture or running people out of town, or their job if your neighborhood witch-hunt burn them at the steak committee is inactive. There was Florida Attorney General Michael Ertel, who resigned after a newspaper obtained photos from 2005 showing him dressed for a Halloween party as a “victim” of Hurricane Katrina’ (in blackface) and Megyn Kelly who came under fire for defending blackface, in which the result was her time at the "Today" show being brought to an abrupt halt. But if you are Democrat Illinois state Senate candidate Hal Patton wearing Black face, it is no problem. Take it a step further if you are a Democrat Governor of a state historically renown for racism, let’s say Virginia, you can wear a Klan rob and Black face and it is no big deal (Gov. Ralph Northam's 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook page). Then there are actions that would have a conservative all over the media 247/365 for months. Just imagine if former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, found drunk, passed out laying in his vomit in a hotel bathroom so inebriated he could not communicate and with two other men in a rook having sex and consuming (or at least having baggies) of crystal methamphetamine, was Doug Ducey (AZ), Ron DeSantis (FL) or Brian Kemp (GA)? I digress.

Last week I read the transcripts of both dueling banjo’s, I mean dueling townhalls of the President and his opponent. Other than the unrelenting interrupting of the President by a clearly triggered Savannah Guthrie not having one member of the audience ask the President a question until after twenty minutes of the one hour segment had passed and former White House Communications Director to Bill Clinton George ‘Snuffaluffagus’ Stephanopoulos never asking Joe Biden about Hunter Biden Ukraine and China allegations, what stood out most were Biden’s comments in response to a woman who purportedly was the mother of two kids, one of which was an eight year-old who claimed to be transgender. Responding Biden said, “The idea that an 8-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, you know, ‘I decided I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be. It would make my life a lot easier.’ There should be zero discrimination.” If you did not catch that, candidate Biden is basically stating on the record endorsing gender transition and sexual reassignment surgery for eight-year-old kids.  I guess he is trying to get out in front of this politically correct ship unlike his past views against gay marriage. Regardless, his position is anti-science and goes against all that is unknown about genetics and human biology. As Dr. Ryan Anderson notes, “Cosmetic surgery and cross-sex hormones can’t change us into the opposite sex. They can affect appearances. They can stunt or damage some outward expressions of our reproductive organization. But they can’t transform it. They can’t turn us from one sex into the other.”

As it stands, it seems as if the famous alphabet people described by Dave Chappelle may be expecting another letter to arrive – P. No I am not conflating sexual reassignment surgery for kids with pedophilia, but it does make one think that if responsible parenting in 2020 means you have to  support an eight year old kids wish to mutilate their body via life changing surgery, then anything goes. Why not let them smoke, drive the family car, drink whiskey, or get a tattoo? Taking it further, why not give them the right to consent to have sexually intercourse? Its only the next logical sequence that if kids have the mental cognition to decide at age eight, albeit their prefrontal cortex will not be formed for adult thinking until 14 years into the future, pedophiles will be lining up to support and advocate for their right to consent to sexual activity. From this, the logical progression would be to lobby for pedophilia to be considered a sexual orientation like lesbianism, transgenderism and queerism. Its already happening.

The modern pedophiles are trying to justify pedophilia by calling themselves minor-attracted persons or MAPs. Across the globe and here in the US, more pedophiles are becoming visible, pushing for this deviant behavior to be considered as a legal sexual orientation. The California General Assembly has just approved a bill that was signed into law by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom.  The law would legally shield adults convicted of having anal or oral sex with a minor if the child was (1) a willing participant and (2) no more than 10 years younger than the adult predator. The legislation was formulated and strongly supported by the California LGBT community. The sponsor/author of the Bill, Democrat State Sen. Scott Wiener said this would stop “blatant discrimination against young LGBT people engaged in consensual activity” and added that laws that penalize adults who have sex with children is synonymous to “homophobia."

I am not making this up people. Cracked published an article called "5 Ways We Misunderstand Pedophilia (That Makes it Worse).’  In 2014, Margo Kaplan wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times titled “Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime.”  Not to be outdone, in 2017 the Guardian published an essay called “My father, the ‘respectable’ paedophile." Then there is the 'I'm a paedophile, not a monster,' that ran in the Independent UK in 2017.  Then there is the BBC's "The young paedophiles who say they don’t abuse children," anther one from the Independent UK called "Not all paedophiles are bad people - we need to have a sense of proportion" and "Four misconceptions about pedophiles." More recently, there is the pushing on the mainstream of the hyper sexualization of young girls by Netflix through the French film Cuties.

Yea folk, don’t sleep, if progressive dogma supports and advocate for eight-year-old kids to proceed with bodily mutilation in the form of sexual reassignment surgery, you can best believe the days of LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual or allied) will be over and replaced with LGBTQIAP.

If I may be frank, Joe Biden represents the worst attributes of progressive democrat ideology. The first is that of a corrupt beneficence that assumes we know better and what is best for all, for we are smarter than you and because we refuse to accept that you can think for yourself. Although condescending, the liberal class consider this hybrid political and philosophical comportment as an act of charity and equally a moral obligation. The second is inherent in their policies, which are buttressed on operating on the side of extreme ridiculousness, in many cases even if it requires the sacrificing of personal liberty. Last is the preference to virtue signal (“the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.”) rather than address or tackle real tangible problems afflicting the citizenry of this great nation. I would be lacking if I failed too point out that according to Wikipedia, it is a “pejorative neologism for the conspicuous and disingenuous expression of moral values with the intent to enhance one's own image.” To be fair both are correct. Thus, democratic progressive philosophical and political ideology is condescending virtue signaling that purports no desire to provide or offer solutions to the problems of normal citizens, but rather beliefs that make themselves feel good and grow them wealth off of the backs of the lower and middle classes for individual rather than national purposes.

It is no secret historically that no matter what they are called (progressives, democrats, liberals, or socialist), this coterie has desired for decades to disrupt the basic fabric of the United States of America. One could say it began December 20, 1860, when the state of South Carolina left the Union, right before the convening of the 37th United States Congress. It continued with the election of America's first progressive Democratic president, Woodrow Wilson in 1912. This is clear if anyone has read the speeches of Wilson, or any of the books of history on him, his presidency or the period (The Betrayal of The Negro: From Rutherford B. Hayes To Woodrow Wilson by Rayford W. Logan; 1912: Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft and Debs -The Election that Changed the Country by James Chace).

Woodrow Wilson’s writings, speeches and policies make two things clear: he was a devout racist and that he despised the freedoms and liberties advanced in the Constitution of the United States. On the first level, it was extremely evident he did not respect the 15th Amendment of the constitution therefore he did all in his power from demanding segregation of the federal workforce to promoting the Ku Klux Klan. As the 28th president, he was the first southerner to be president since Reconstruction and helped expunge advances African Americans had made since Reconstruction with one of his first actions - segregating federal government employees by race. Some historians assert that he only won because Republican votes split between Taft and Roosevelt.

In this tradition, it is not irrational to see why the foundation of such a political philosophy can only be advanced via the expression of bigotry and divisive politics. It is as if politics for progressive liberals is a religious cult that is grounded in the contention that if one doesn’t have the same beliefs exactly as [I] have, you are evil, sinful, irredeemable and utterly useless or unqualified to be an American citizen worthy of mutual respect Likewise, the advance that what is not approved of in the constitution, must be changed altered or removed completely [abolish the electoral college or pack the Supreme Court]. They, as Wilson, are eager to get rid of what Wilson described as an "obsolete" U.S. Constitution. Wilson perspective on government remain the red blood cells of progressive politics. From large government to taxing the wealthy and employing race-based politics, these have been constant attributes of the democrat platform.

The objective is to obviate the American reality as it currently exists by abrogating the concept of individualism, whether in thought, speech, innovativeness or the expression individualism. The effort promoted by Wilson toward “social justice” never ended. Bigotry, soft or hard remains the same. Rather if it is Wilson and his penchant for racial segregation or Joe Biden and his penchant for mass incarceration. All are rooted on what I presented in the first paragraph. When you say Black Americans for example, don’t have the ability or knowledge to get identification to vote, this is racial bigotry. When you feel you must speak out for and on the behalf of Black Americans in a need to protect or speak for us as we are your pet cats or dogs, this is racial bigotry. These and similar behaviors project the sincere beliefs of the progressive liberal class – they see us [Black Americans] as a helpless, mentally challenged class of people that do not have the capacity to take care of ourselves and with no ability of self-determination. This is the definition of overt racism.

Yes, Biden is a continuation of this malevolent creed. Biden has been in office nearly a half century, yet he has no history of policy to run on of importance and runs away from the only policy record he has for reasons of political expediency. There is his 1984 Comprehensive Control Act which he authored with StromThurmond, who in August of 1957, filibustered for more than 24 hours in an effort to stop the 1957 Civil Rights Act. The act expanded federal drug trafficking and usage prison sentences, repealed the Bail Reform Act of 1966 and introduced civil asset forfeiture. Not to be out done, two years later Biden introduced and got passed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 (1986 Crime Bill). This bill had a provision in the law that treated crack cocaine as significantly worse than powder cocaine. It mandated a minimum sentence of 5 years without parole for possession of 5 grams of crack cocaine compared to 5 years for possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine, which devastated and disproportionately impacted Black America. Like the others, this bill had a disparate impact on Black America. Data demonstrates that this law, “which increased the disproportionate incarceration of Black males, also led to differences in college enrollment rates” that resulted in “Black males [having] a 2.2% decrease in the relative probability of college enrollment after” its passage.

Biden’s most renown piece of legislation is up there with Wilson’s Revenue Act of 1913 (Underwood Tariff or the Underwood-Simmons Act – which created the IRS and progressive income tax) and his Federal Reserve Act (both passed in a closed session early in the morning December 23, 1913) which established the Federal Reserve Banking System in the United States for the purpose of making money more elastic (create fiat paper money). Biden’s Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (1994 Omnibus Crime Bill/Biden Crime Law) was a humdinger. If convicted of conducting a drive-by shooting or carjacking resulting in death, you were given the death penalty automatically. It also reversed a section of the Higher Education Act of 1965 that allowed former prison inmates to receive a Pell Grant for higher education while they were incarcerated. In addition, it authorized the death penalty for 60 new federal offenses, including certain drug offences not related to a homicide. In the five years following its passage, 44 percent of inmates on death row were black. These racial disparities in capital punishment still exist. There is also the provisions that allocated mandatory life sentences for individuals with three or more felony convictions and the allowance for prosecutors to charge 13-year-old children as adults for certain crimes, resulting in more than 65 percent of those sentenced to life in prison as juveniles being black.

The reality is that progressive policies advanced by democrats have never been based on justice and have been buttressed of the politics of racial division and bigotry since the start of the 37th Congress. There is no true belief or genuine interest in promoting policy that will benefit Black Americans nor America as a whole. How can there be when white Antifa youth destroy and burn down Black and other minority American owned businesses? How can it be, if the leader suggest that one is not Black if they do not vote for him? Yes, this is how they see the landscape. They have established a low bar for how they see Black America because progressive liberalism is merely a racial pie topped with white whipped creamed guilt. This is their Potemkin Village: it is them on their way to behead Fyodor Shaklovity to motion the transfer of imperial, elitist, corporatist, plutocratic power prior to arrival of the young Peter the Great. Biden as for now is Peter the Great, but if he wins, he will eventually play the role of Fyodor Shaklovity.
