Lies-Caution-Virtue: the terrible triad that keeps us masked, locked down and afraid
The association of danger with permissiveness has allowed the “expert class” that is supposed to inform the public to instead brainwash them

Someone in yur life never got the CCP (Chinese Comunist Party) virus but their whole life has been transformed because of it. They have become the most cautious, the most locked down, the most disgusted by us, the “virus deniers,” in the community, in entire states or in even their extended family.
They haven’t seen their adult parents or socialized with their closest friends for over a year. They refuse in-person-learning options for their kids. The orchestrated fear conceived ed and encouraged by our own government has warped their relationship to their neighbors, whom they treat as vectors of disease.
They consider others to be moral cretins because they do yard work without a mask. They adopt Dr. Anthony Fauci’s absurd double-masking protocol and some are even putting goggles on their children, including infants, because they read something about the CCP virus spreading through their eyes.
At some point the provisional and practical judgments in favor of caution that can justify restrictive behaviors became an unshakeable moral purpose. Actual weighing of risks went out the window. The reasoning went like this: There’s a deadly disease out there — my actions can contribute to the end of the disease or to its spreading in perpetuity.
In other words, by wearing a mask, becoming unsociable, buying into the lies, I am saving lives.
It’s as if an electrical circuit in the brain has been fused. While caution and restrictive behavior can be justified by a conscience informed by the risks, the human mind can also make calculations based on superstition. When the conscious mind is inundated with fear-mongering and blatant lies, the fusion becomes permanent. One frighteningly common one isequating science with truth, fear with realism, caution with virtue.
In individuals, we can easily observe these sorts of calculations, with personal tragedies large and small: People missed out on one last comforting grasp of the hands before a loved one dies, or marriages were wrecked by the atmosphere of fear and paranoia. The problem is clearly social as well as political.
Once the lies-caution-virtue circuit is fused, we find it much harder to introduce truth, reason and good news. We lose the capacity to acknowledge the provisional nature of our judgments. The fact that a huge portion of the vulnerable population in America is now vaccinated — in many counties well over 70 percent of people 65 and older are now fully vaccinated — hasn’t changed behavior. The government keeps pounding away at any inate and rational skepticism with additional fear-mongering and manipulation.

This is made worse because the real moral and financial costs of rampant illogical behavior are revealed through media outlets those most susceptible to the fusion ignore. Virtuous virus worshipers reject the only sources telling anything close to the truth, thus continuing their irrational fear-inspired abnormal behavior.
Such information is discarded because of “facts evident” in the depressed business environment for entertainment, food, and tourism. The reality of why small businesses are having such difficulty in staying afloat now is that government unemployment bonuses are encouraging workers to sit at home on their asses not working.
We see the reasons behind the fear-based behavior in the heightened levels of depression that people experience because of prolonged social isolation. Many people who have the financial option to make their lockdown super-tight simply refuse to go out where they would realize how free and sociable most people in their community have become since they cast off their foolish CCP virus anxiety.
The timid have become unwilling to engage in the risks and the pleasures of life that the less fearful, the more skeptical or the most essential workers never got away from in the first place. Dependence on the faulty equivalence of lies, fear, and caution makes it easier for those who actively seek to keep us dumb and locked down.
It is why the Centers for Disease Control is willing to allow Fascist teachers’ unions not only to delay expert recommendation to fully reopen schools, but to open technical documents to editing by the medically unqualified teachers’ unions. Those self-interested, Fascist educator organizations have been given access to those documents despite having no public-health expertise, no special knowledge of epidemiology.
What the fear-mongers have on their side is a pervasive public response that more caution can never be wrong or harmful. It is a reflex that is misguided, misinformed and sheep-like.
The association of danger with permissiveness has allowed the “expert class” that is supposed to inform the public to instead brainwash them. Throughout the CCP virus rampage, public-health officials have betrayed the American public with their arrogant view that we do not possess common sense. The experts use fear to prevent freely and rationally giving an overly cautious inch that will become a reasonable and practical mile taken
Even during one of the most successful vaccine rollouts in world history, CDC director Rochelle Walensky warned of “impending doom” just last week. No doom is in the offing. She lied. She knows that if CCP virus Fascists like herself let the lid off Truth, they will not be able to control the public. That has been the sole reason for perpetuating the myths of the virus from the beginning.

The expert class has corrupted itself. The short circuit of the pandemic has led to a dramatic tightening of groupthink among public-health frauds. Chief among these is Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). He has good reason to fear-monger and create chaos and subterfuge. He needs to hide the fact he funded the development of the CCP virus.
Until stopped by President Trump in mid-April last year, Fauci funded both individual Chinese researchers and the Wuhan Institute of Virology as collaborators with American researchers in creating lethal coronaviruses from relatively harmless bat viruses. They wou9ld be contagious in close and prolonged contact, but not through the casual contact that is most often experienced by human beings.
Obama had banned such research within the U.S. in 2014, but Fauci circumvented that order by sending NIAID money to the Wuhan lab. For unknown reasons, Obama lifted the U.S. moratorium in 2017 just before trump took office. No U.S. lab, though, picked up the research effort.
This collaboration and direct funding enabled the Chinese Communist Party and its military to make potential bioweapons on their own, including SARS-CoV-2, or CCP virus. In April 2020, shortly after ACV disclosed US-Chinese collaborations, President Trump canceled the funding stream. Nonetheless, Fauci has recently unleashed a deluge of new funding — courtesy of Joe Biden’s lax relationship with China — that will almost certainly benefit Chinese scientists at universities and research facilities in this country who have close ties to the CCP.
The processes in which Fauci specifically has interest are known as “gain-of-function” research projects. Mostly harmless but still infectious animal viruses are reverse-engineered, turning them into human pathogens capable of causing deadly pandemics. The stated purpose is to learn to prevent and treat future outbreaks.
Far from accomplishing that goal, research labs have thus far been the most common source of outbreaks of dangerous pathogens, including the CCP virus as well as two earlier accidental escapes by SARS viruses — commonly called Bird Flu — in 2004 from a research facility in Beijing.
Fauci prematurely approved the Wuhan Institute as a highest level containment facility (known as BSL-4) capable of safely working with lethal viruses. He did this while knowing the Institute had a very poor safety record and while also knowing that all such facilities in China are overseen by the military as part of its biowarfare program.

Subsequent inspections have shown the Wuhan lab does not nearly approach the high security of a Level 4 lab and is in fact closer to a Level 2 facility which cannot be trusted to handle highly infectious pathogens. Thus, Fauci had a heavy hand in creating two grave worldwide threats — the accidental release of a deadly coronavirus and its potential use as a military bioweapon. Many believe that was the intent of the CCP virus’ creation and that the release was deliberate.
Fauci has never been asked by any news organization about his role in the development and release of the CCP virus. He declines interviews fromprint and electronic outlets that would probably ask that difficult question.
Even without that added intrigue indicating a probable U.S. link to a worldwide pandemic, one would normally expect that a variety of experts would come up with a variety of recommendations as to how it should be handled. These so-called “experts” should value the risks differently. Instead, public-health pontificators have tried to guard their authority — and that of the government which has come to special in The Big Lie —with an ersatz sheen of unanimity.
The virus is not the only subject of official Washington’s Big Lie campaign to keep the public afraid and cowed. When Dr. Martin Kulldorff expressed his view that the pause of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine would do more harm than good, the CDC threw him under the bus, removing him from its vaccine-safety advisory committee. Four days later, Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine was made available again, but the visible dissent was too much to ignore.
Kulldorff had pioneered many of the processes by which the CDC detects the safety of vaccines. His major crime was he had expressed his view that the urge to vaccinate everyone was as superstitious as being anti-vaccine.
Twitter preposterously put a misinformation tag on his tweet, based on the superstition that there is only one valid “expert” answer — and no valid debates are allowed among experts. If anyone departs from the Fascist line must be silenced. Kulldorff expressed his views in person in the presence of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida — a “felony” that got him thrown in Twitter jail.
The general consensus this time last year was that the CCP virus era come to an end once vaccines removed the danger from the most vulnerable — and that the human urge to connect would assert itself dramatically in a new roaring ’20s. Now it appears a significant portion of the public and some of our leading institutions have internalized entirely new habits of thought and life solely for political purposes
The circuit among truth, science, fear, caution and virtue needs to be unwired and deprogrammed. It is geared to bringing down or democracy and turning us into a Fascist police state.
