Jeff Scott on crises and the expansion of "public health"

Crises are like drugs for those in office, offering Governors the option to retain powers over the public. Does the Governor have authority to prolong an emergency declaration motivated by virus eradication? The series of absurd reasons for containment permits him to bypass state law and federal Constitutional rights. [North Carolina Governor] Cooper, like other Democratic governors who are being challenged in Ohio and Michigan, conveniently expanded his privilege to keep people under virtual house arrest with no legal consequences to himself. He threw North Carolinians under the bus. When will “non-essential” business owners, their employees and their customers get a chance to speak up?

If we don’t challenge the Governor’s decision, whether he is still in office or out, the tyranny of COVID-19 can be applied to a wide array of “public health” issues. That includes obesity, drugs, racism, guns and rights of association and protest. Not only that, but “public health” indoctrination and propaganda include gag orders, censorship and tight media control. The Federal Center for Disease Control (CDC) even stopped evictions on the grounds of “public health”. This is just the tip of the iceberg when one stops to consider a Federal takeover of public health.
