Here’s an interesting one:
And to think that I suggested that very thing over ten years ago, as an unrealistic (at the time) plot device in Prime Target.

“If It Means Saving Lives…”
Where have we heard this before? O, Canada. Unsurprisingly, this is Ontario (motto: We’re more socialist than New York), where the forces of police power are rapidly becoming unlimited.
As an aside — and I admit that it’s been years since I was last in Ontario — I’m pretty sure that the above Gestapo attitudes will work in places like Toronto (a.k.a. Woke City, CN). But Ontario is a really big state, and I would be really interested to see what happens oh, about a hundred miles north of Toronto, when the Sturmtruppen start playing their little reindeer games. (Warning: link can cause extreme rage.)
Or have all Canadians become so cowed by Government?
Clinging To Power
Looks like the increasingly-irrelevant Covid Supremo is getting desperate:
Fauci: ‘It’s Still Not OK’ to Eat or Drink Indoors Even if You’re Vaccinated
Hey, fuckwit:
Not Quite
Over in Britishland, a bunch of cops raided a church during a Good Friday Mass and told everyone they had to leave because they were offending the Gods Of State by breaking some petty Covid-related restrictions. (I am simply astonished that in a religion which glorifies martyrdom, not one parishioner let themselves be arrested rather than be hounded out of a church on the holiest day of the Christian calendar. Of course, being meek British Christians, they left the church without fuss, instead of making the cops leave with their tails between their legs, like that Polish priest did in Canada.)
Which led Peter Hitchens to say this:
“When police start raiding our churches, you know the revolution has begun.”
Au contraire, mon cher Pierre: that is not the start of the revolution; that is merely the evidence of creeping governmental thuggish totalitarianism. (And saying “sorry” after the fact doesn’t excuse or exonerate them, the bastards.)
The revolution will begin when the Stasi are chased out by a storm of invective, or bullets.
I am so angered by this that I can barely write about it. And I’m not even a Christian.
Small wonder there’s an outbreak of “Kill The Bill” protests and riots in Britain. (“The Old Bill” is a nickname for cops Over There; I prefer “The Filth”, myself.)
Example
A few days back, I penned a gloomy little piece entitled Isolated, wherein I said the following (talking about the government agents arrayed against us):
“They can concentrate their forces against us; we can’t do the same against them.”
Well, here’s one such example:
In the early Tuesday morning hours, motion sensors alerted the occupant, hereafter referred to as John Doe (names have been changed to protect the innocent) that there was movement along the driveway to his home. Given the time of day, the location of the home, and some recent history that will be discussed later, Doe knew he needed to react, but in a non-threatening manner. His decision was to put on a pair of pants, remain barefoot and shirtless, and move to the front porch with his hands raised in the air. What appeared in the driveway was the lead vehicle of three BearCat armored personnel carriers – commonly referred to as personnel tanks (pictured left) – in a convoy of over thirty total vehicles.
The BearCats are armed with a rotating turret for housing customer-specific weapon systems. Five gun ports are located on each side of the vehicle, and an additional two on the rear. The vehicle are often equipped with .50 BMG or 7.62mm rifles. It is a military-grade vehicle often used by U.S. Special Forces and the Australian military.
But on this day, they were cruising the Flathead Valley with thirty other police vehicles in tow.
Also surrounding the house were one-hundred-plus federal agents with a helicopter in support.
Sounds like this John Doe guy was some kind of super-terrorist, right? Not exactly.
Doe’s former girlfriend from North Carolina filed a restraining order (a civil matter, not criminal) against Doe in that state claiming he was homicidal, suicidal, a threat to her, and had bomb-making materials with the intention to cause harm. She also claimed he had booby traps all over the home and the surrounding property. But none of this was true.
So the feds armored up, and based on the fears (and aggrievement) of someone in North Carolina, deployed all this force against a guy living in Montana.
Read the whole thing to appreciate the full extent of the bastardy. (They even arrested his neighbor, FFS.)
Then remind me again how much hope we stand if this happens to any one of us.
