“At Risk”

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Now comes news that the CDC has promulgated guidelines for the establishment of places where “at risk” people are to be  – let’s use the historically apt term – concentrated.

Naturally, “at risk” has a very different meaning than most people imagine. It does not mean people who are sick, or elderly or immune-system-compromised, though concentrating anyone was something previously unimaginable in America – before it became a “homeland,” at any rate.

It means – it will mean – people who have refused to be Needled. They will be styled “at risk,” despite being perfectly healthy – as well as a threat to the health of others. And then be concentrated – for their safety.

Just as the perfectly healthy were presumed “asymptomatic” spreaders – and forced to wear a medically useless “mask” and are now being forced to wear them, again.

Dragooning anyone into a detention center who has not been convicted of some criminal offense, at the conclusion of due process – including the formal presentation of specific charges that must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, in  accordance with the law – is something that didn’t used to happen in America.

Well, not usually.

There was of course the disturbing – and largely forgotten – precedent set during World War II, when Americans who happened to be of Japanese ancestry were  Hut! Hut! Hutted! from their homes and into concentration camps, where they were kept prisoner for years. This was justified on the basis of racial collectivism, the conception  that every person of Japanese ancestry was sympathetic to the Empire of Japan and thus a potential if not actual enemy agent.

It was a less virulent iteration of the same policies applied in Germany, where anyone who was Jewish was deemed biologically hostile to Germany and a threat to all Germans. The difference being the Germans took things to their logical conclusion while the Americans didn’t.

Then.

How about now?

People who – for reasons that are rational and easily understood by any rational person – have elected to not be injected with “vaccines” they don’t need, not being at much risk – which come with no disclosure as to what is in them, that are known to have caused death and debilitating injury in thousands of people, that are made by dodgy companies that have managed to secure immunity from liability for any harms their “vaccines” may cause – are being painted as a biological threat to the general  population.

This being an interesting proposition given that the ululations are emanating chiefly from those who have been “vaccinated” themselves. Who – if they were rational – would be unconcerned about the “vaccination” status of others, assuming that the “vaccines” they took actually work.

In terms of warding off the biological threat, that is.

Which brings up another etymological dissection related to the first, above – regarding the “at risk” folks – who are the ones at risk of being Hut! Hut! Hutted! off to concentration camps by the government, for declining to be “vaccinated” for a sickness that does not ail them or greatly threaten them.

You will recall the phrase.

Stop the spread.

This has a superficial and – just maybe – another, much darker meaning.

The at-face-value meaning, that it was necessary to close the country down – to lock it down (excepting, of course, the big corporate retailers and, above all, the government – its apparatchiks having decreed themselves “essential” while decreeing practically everyone else, not) for just a couple of week, to stop the spread, seemed reasonable.

As in, thwart the further transmission of the putative illness that was supposedly sweeping the land.

Most people accepted the face value definition because it seemed reasonable, at the time. A couple of weeks. Ok. It’s not a huge price to pay in order to staunch what – so we were told – was a virulent respiratory plague that would otherwise kill millions of people.

It seemed less reasonable as the lockdowns transitioned from a couple of weeks to months, on end – notwithstanding the accumulating evidence that the bug was far less lethal than hyped.

Ridiculous and degrading “practices” were imposed. And now, something much more ominous. Something that – unlike a “mask” – you cannot take off, ever.

What if these “vaccines” – and the whole thing behind them, imparting the kinetic energy necessary to get to the point – are indeed meant to stop the spread . . .

Of us?

What if they are meant to hobble the reproductive capability of young people?

Why else the insistence that young people – of all people – be injected with a “vaccine” they manifestly need less than a sheep needs a closet full of wool sweaters? The people most aggressively pushing the point – people like Bill Gates – are people on record as favoring massive population reduction schemes, as by massively curtailing the birth rate.

Is it reasonable to harbor such thoughts? When the CDC is openly discussing concentration camps – and when the governor of TN is signing legislation authorizing people to be forcibly dragged from their homes after failing a “mandatory phone assessment” – it is arguably the most reasonable of thoughts.

The mind reels, thinking such thoughts. It is hard to maintain focus. To see it. To believe it might be so.

It makes one realize just how difficult it was for  German Jews to believe they were actually being sent to their deaths. No, it cannot be. This is a civilized country. They are merely relocating us. To keep us safe. It will be ok.

Except, it wasn’t.

Will we remember the lessons of history before we haver to relearn them?

Any additional information on this interesting tidbit?

Read the entire executive order in context. I didn’t take it to mean what is paraphrased above… Chip

I see what you mean. It appears the pre-screening for involuntary commitment is what’s mandatory. However, TPTB designating those opposed to “the vaccine” as delusional or mentally ill, which doesn’t seem like to far of a stretch, could be a convenient end-around allowing internment.

The rest of the EO made a lot of sense in that it cut red tape to get medical professionals back to work who might not otherwise be legal i.e. someone who has retired and let their license lapse. It also bypassed some of the scrutiny in setting up a new medical facility on a temporary basis.

That one section does not fit with the rest of the order and appears to be something that could turn out quite draconian, if implemented as read. My answer is to not answer the phone if you don’t recognize the number. If it is important, they will leave a message.

The US .Gov can’t enforce anything on a mass scale.
Draconian rules, electricity, running water, rationed food in metro areas, anarchy everywhere else.
When the Gov. even starts TALKING about price controls or rationing you can be sure that things are about to get interesting.
Enjoy the sounds of sporadic gunfire and your can of dinner.

……ahhhhhh, sorry but Judea declared war on Germany in 1933. 9 years before Germany did anything with the Jews.
See the Daily Times headline March 24, 1933.
Otherwise I get and agree with what Peters is saying.

There is a Red Line that the communists will cross. Each of us must determine it for ourselves. It is a hard decision to make, when men must die.

Japanese, German, and Native Americans beg to differ.

It does seem they will push until vaxx rates hit a certain %, i’m guessing about 70% or close and say the remaining 30% will be left no choice under the color of law. It’s coming.

They will have a choice. We always have a choice. May be unpalatable, unpleasant and extreme, but a choice still available.

Unfortunately for the remainder, very few will take it. Too many cowards and weak willed.

We will have to relearn them, as is ever the case – history proves it and generally repeats in cycles.

In case you wondered what the POTUS (POS) was doing today?

Maybe he won’t be as wrong on COVID as he was on Afghanistan. Or more.

How can you tell Joe Biden is wrong? He is talking.

Hmmmm. That’s weird because in Israel 85% of hospitalized HAVE BEEN VACCINATED.

With his level of dementia, I don’t think you could call it lying, as much as repeating lies others have told him. Dr. Falsi comes to mind.
