Don't be afraid of COVID-19

This virus scare has put us in a hole.

The mainstream media has done an excellent job of inciting fear. Their success is due to the grand achievement of government schools squelching that dangerous “critical thinking” process. If people analyze the facts they would conclude this is no more dangerous than the average flu.

The coronavirus has not increased the overall death rate. With the overall death rate unchanged, it is indisputable that the coronavirus has not created a disaster.

The government’s behavior has created a disaster, but the virus itself has not. Because the coronavirus has not increased the overall death rate, it is obvious the virus does not rise to the level of a public disaster.

Tyrant Inslee has invoked emergency powers claiming there is a public disaster. Because facts dispel that illusion, the legal underpinning of enacting emergency powers evaporates. In a nutshell, Inslee’s rule-by-mandate is unlawful.

Furthermore, “the governor must terminate said state of emergency proclamation when order has been restored” per RCW 43.06.210. Because there is no disorder in society due to this virus, the state of emergency, by law, must be terminated.

The primary purpose of government is to secure individual rights. Inslee has waged war on our Bill of Rights. He has closed churches, which is not only unlawful, it is an act of treason. “The Constitution sets certain lines that may not be crossed, even in an emergency.”

Civil disobedience is the right of every American. Climb out of the hole, leave the mask of obedience behind you, and exercise your rights.
