Argentina: Opposition Builds to Great Reset, Who’s Next?

Mea Culpa, this is not news. But an historical reminder of what happens when the people get fed up with a corrupt government incapable of serving their interests.

Rememeber this? The president of Argentina has left the building. According to the Daily Mail 20 years ago :

President Fernando De la Rua resigned and fled the government palace in a helicopter, driven from office by a devastating economic crisis and days of rioting that left 22 people dead and homes and supermarkets across Argentina ransacked.

Fast forward to today:

This is the news: Police faced rioters with stones this week.

This is what the face of real anger and desperation in the face of a government that is equal parts corrupt and inept looks like.

No one wants to see this kind of abuse of any other human being. It’s anathema to life itself. But everyone makes a choice. The police choose to put on their uniforms and riot shields to enforce immoral orders while the people make the choice to stand up to it.

It is the fundamental problem of rule through force that eventually leads to these regrettable outcomes. No one wants to see policemen, presumably decent men with the right motivations to maintain societal order, stoned in public.

But when people have had their ability to make their grievances heard peacefully taken away from them they will, eventually, make their grievances heard violently.

It’s who we are. It’s human nature.

And the lesson here is for all of these would-be tyrants currently laughing about winning a fraudulent election in the U.S. through changing the rules is that they will face this same moment as these cops did very soon.

Because elections are the opportunity for us to air our grievances with our government peacefully. And what so many in politics fail to understand, but what the people who voted for Donald Trump do, is that these past two elections haven’t been referenda on Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.

They have been referenda on the whole political class and culture which has driven people to the edge of insanity, bankruptcy and despair.

So, laugh it up Stacey Abrams, Rahm Emmanuel, Barack Obama, Dan Crenshaw and Mitt Romney. Watch this video carefully. This is your future.

The same goes for Tony Blair, Emmanuel Macron, Bill Gates, Angela Merkel, George Soros and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Wallace interrupts Azar over Biden's title: 'He's the president-elect'

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace interrupted Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Sunday after Azar referred to Joe Biden as "vice president" rather than "president-elect."

"We welcome Vice President Biden to the club," Azar said on "Fox News Sunday." "Since the middle of April … the president's guidelines have called for —"

Before Azar could finish, Wallace interjected, "He's the president-elect, sir. He's the president-elect."

Azar did not respond to Wallace, pressing ahead and saying President Trump has "called masks patriotic."

Trump has refused to concede the 2020 presidential election to Biden, and during a Saturday evening rally in Georgia continued to argue he won the state and the election despite his loss.

Trump's efforts have put extraordinary pressure on administration officials and Republicans to toe the line, even as outside observers in the media argue it is threatening to damage democracy.

Trump has attacked Fox News and Wallace specifically in recent months, accusing the network of bias against him and declaring during a presidential debate moderated by Wallace that he was debating the moderator and Biden at the same time.

Biden has called Trump's refusal to concede an "embarrassment" for the nation but predicted Republicans will eventually acknowledge his victory and work with him.

'This is pure propaganda': China pushes lies to hide origin of COVID pandemic

The mild-mannered German scientist never anticipated becoming a Chinese propaganda star.

But Alexander Kekulé, director of the Institute for Biosecurity Research in Halle, Germany, has been all over the state-run media in China in recent days. News outlets have taken Kekulé's research out of context to suggest that Italy, not China, is where the coronavirus pandemic began. Photos of him have appeared on Chinese news sites under headlines reading, "China is innocent!"

Kekulé, who has repeatedly said that he believes the virus first emerged in China, was startled.

"This is pure propaganda," he said in an interview.

Facing global anger over their initial mishandling of the outbreak, Chinese authorities are now trying to rewrite the narrative of the pandemic by pushing theories that the virus originated outside China.

In recent days, Chinese officials have said that packaged food from overseas might have initially brought the virus to China. Scientists have released a paper positing that the pandemic could have started in India. The state news media has published false stories misrepresenting foreign experts, including Kekulé and officials at the World Health Organisation, as having said the coronavirus came from elsewhere.

The campaign seems to reflect anxiety within the ruling Communist Party about the continuing damage to China's international reputation brought by the pandemic. Western officials have criticised Beijing for trying to conceal the outbreak when it first erupted.

The party also appears eager to muddy the waters as the WHO begins an investigation into the question of how the virus jumped from animals to humans, a critical inquiry that experts say is the best hope to avoid another pandemic.

China, which has greatly expanded its influence in the WHO in recent years, has tightly controlled the effort by designating Chinese scientists to lead key parts of the investigation.

By spreading theories that foreigners are responsible for the pandemic, the party is deploying a well-worn playbook. The Chinese government is rarely willing to publicly address its own shortcomings, often preferring to redirect attention elsewhere and rally the country against a common enemy.

'No Vaccine, No Work' - Employers Discuss Making COVID Immunity Mandatory For Workers

Public opinion polls from the past couple of weeks appear to show a growing number of Americans are planning to get the coronavirus vaccine, even as Dr. Fauci hinted that the UK's decision to grant emergency approval to Pfizer's mRNA vaccine might have been somewhat "rushed".

A recent Goldman research note intended for its institutional clients showed as much, citing polling numbers from YouGov.

With hospitalizations surging to record levels and California once again heading into lockdown, millions of Americans would probably gladly take the vaccine just to feel a sense that the pandemic is "over", even though the duration of that immunity is still not very well understood, and some "conspiracy-minded" skeptics have raised question about the headline efficacy numbers.

But as the US and UK prepare to start delivering the first jabs in a week, industries are jockeying to try and get their workers designated as "essential" so they can have faster access to the vaccine (for many, profits are ultimately on the line).

Even though many Americans believe it's morally reprehensible to fire someone for refusing to take a vaccine, some companies and industry groups are planning to require workers to be vaccinated as a precondition for returning to work. Maybe they think taking such a public stand might help them secure supplies for their vaccines more quickly.

Whatever the reason, even for white collar workers who have been comfortably ensconced in their homes/apartments for the last nine months, the subtext is pretty clear: no vaccine, no work.

Here's more from the Hill:

Companies will soon face a tough decision about whether to require their employees to get vaccinated for COVID-19 as a condition for returning to work.

[…]

Employers believe they are on firm legal ground to mandate vaccinations, but that doesn't mean enforcement won't be without its challenges, particularly given the backlash in some parts of the country to mask mandates and smaller groups opposed to vaccinations of any kind.

However, many corporations might soon find that their workers (not just blue-collar manufacturing workers, but white-collar office drones, too) either don't share their concerns, can't get their hands on a vaccine or are simply skeptical of the long-term side effects and would prefer to simply wait and see.
