Fauci's Finger is Theirs

I don’t mean to come off sanctimonious here, but the first time I saw Fauci, I knew he was an officious narcissist. I’d seen his ilk before, in schools, in the military and at universities. Not that I ever attended a university, but I did go to some lectures and that.

In truth, I didn’t know any more about Covid than anyone else in the early days. But I did know some guiding principles. First, we had never quarantined the healthy. That was reserved for when someone showed symptoms, then they were quarantined. Second, anyone showing symptoms were instructed to stay home. When had avoiding medical treatment been advised? Third, one could have full-blown Covid and show no symptoms or slight symptoms. It was described, basically, as a cold or the flu, both of which were pretty common and had never raised this level of concern.

So, initially, what I put together, was that this was something on the level of a minor cold or a severe flu. A lot of people died of the flu every year, we, as a nation, didn’t get into this big of a panic over anything like that. With something that, while novel, was not unique and on some occasions, usually with complicating circumstances, might lead to death, so might any other millions of things.

In all, the determination to cause fear, to provoke panic in the population rather than to quell it, knowing that if one were to experience symptoms they were instructed to steer clear of medical treatment, it came off as a psyop, pure and simple and that’s the way I responded to it. Any cooperation was a failure.

While it’s nice to know my instincts were right, it doesn’t erase the sense of sheer disappointment I experienced concerning my fellow Americans. Sure, the liberals were all going to jump on the government powerplay taking place, but normal, typically skeptical Americans falling in line was nothing short of terrifying.

So, now we see Fauci, essentially admitting his crimes in congress by the excessive use of the Fifth Amendment, which, by the way, he has no claim to since he’s received a pardon making him immune from prosecution, unless he has already been instructed that autopen pardons don’t carry the weight of an actual pardon signed by a thinking, breathing human being.

It’s not the weaselly, rat-faced Fauci or the do-nothing congress exposing themselves as the traitors and criminals they are that serves some purpose. We didn’t need a demonstration after all the previous demonstrations of the past years to shine light onto the problem. We know the problem, we know who the criminals are and who the traitors are.

What is being exposed is that we don’t have a system that’s capable of producing consequences for the gravest, most widespread, systematically destructive actions of a single man. There is no overarching bureaucracy that insulates him from taking the blame, it was all him directing the states, counties and cities to adopt horrendous genocidal policies, backed up by the sudden disappearance of HIPPA that would have made any question about one’s medical treatment out of bounds.

The insanity of it was that it allowed the average citizen, the store clerk, the rest stop janitor, the cocktail waitress to dispense medical advice and enforce it with denial of service. It allowed employers to ask whether one had or had not taken the most vile advice from a bunch of clowns on television and to determine one’s career based on that.

I know, I was looking for a job and was forced to argue with recruiters about whether or not they had any right to ask such questions. Of course, I didn’t get hired. By anyone. After eventually finding a job, I nearly got fired for refusing to fill out the sheet asking me the same HIPPA violating questions when I went to different disposal stations. That was a year or two AFTER the scam had been pretty much exposed.

What was my boss’ response when they called him to see what to do about me? “Why didn’t he just lie?” That was when I knew I’d quit. The astonishing lack of integrity in the system might always have been there, but I’d rarely seen it.

It reminded me of another time, long before Covid, when I had been asked by one of our customers whether we had run an early supply truck to a guy’s competitor that day. Well, I wouldn’t have lied anyway, but it was clear that this guy knew we had, they were distinctive trucks. I told the truth and when I got back to the shop I was called into the office. I told the boss what I was asked and what I said.

“Why didn’t you just tell him, ‘No?’

My response: “I don’t lie in my personal life and that comes with often having to face some harsh music. I damn sure will not lie for you.”

“I’m not asking you to lie, or anything,” he said.

“What part of me saying ‘no’ would have been the truth?”

He just sat there. The guy didn’t even know what the truth was, much less whether it had been told or not.

I relate this, because I feel many who visit this Substack can relate, that those who read this don’t have to ask why I wouldn’t just roll over and demean myself to further the goals of some corporation. To me, and most of us, this isn’t a college level exam, the answers are pretty easy to produce. And, to whatever degree one had to go along, to put his family first, I sympathize, it was a tough time and that’s the point. It never should have been a question of feeding one’s family or answer a medical question, or wear some ridiculous mask that admitted ON THE BOX it came in that it wouldn’t prevent contamination. It couldn’t even be used to prevent smoke particles from passing through, particles that were enormously larger than the virus.

I expect to see the level of disingenuousness, outright lies and demagoguery in congress, in the political class and the officiousness of the entitled class. But all across this land, in offices and boardrooms everywhere there were the same bullies and weaklings that allowed it, that couldn’t step up to their bosses and refuse to ask a HIPPA question of their employees. The next step would be to wait a year or so, when some sanity returned and sue them for everything they had. If enough had rebelled, Fauci’s will would have died alone on the hill and he would have been laughed off the stage.

The ultimate realization, however, is this: No one but the working people of this land will ever correct this diseased system. No governor, no president, no senator, no CEO. The working people have all the power and if I could call on it, I would, because the solution is extraordinarily clear. They have to demonstrate that power. They have to shut it down. They have to get these insulated, demigods to pay attention. Because, the truth is, they are so horribly terrified of the working people of this land, that they’re trying desperately to put that power into the hands of a few elitists. That’s what the AI centers are all about, neutering the working class. The efforts that they’ve already used to keep us racially at each other’s throats is a demonstration of their fear of coalescing against them.
