Double Standard

The “super-super corona” pandemic has become an endless story of fear, fearmongering, confusion, stupidity, insanity, and Fascism, even right here in Hawai’i. There was an inkling of hope that the “clusterfuck” would be winding down, but that hope has been dashed by the Fascists.

The mayor of Honolulu has extended “lockdown” until June 30th, with small concessions given to the masses. One-on-one outdoor sports and drive-in religious serves are now permitted. Wheee! The governor followed up with his version of the usual Fascist blatherings. The likelihood of “lockdown” continuing into Fall is very high. And, what, there are at most 35 infected people on any given day out of over 1.5 million people.

All retail stores are allowed to open today with the preventative “super-duper corona” requirements. Curiously, all of the luxury boutiques in Waikiki are scheduled to open as well. Sunbathing on the beaches will be allowed commencing Saturday. Restaurants will be permitted to open with “social distancing” dining on June 5th. Plans also call for the accommodation of outside and sidewalk dining.

Clearly, the leniency of “lockdown” is slanted more toward tourists. Hence, the double standard. The crux of the plans appears to the duping of tourists into believing that the 14-day quarantine is strictly enforced. Gullible travelers would book vacations for longer durations of 21 to 30 days. Thus, hotel occupancy will dramatically increase regardless of limited air flights. With longer visitor stays, the entire tourist industry will remain solvent. Bars and restaurants are also gearing up for delivery service.

Why is full “lockdown” for residents continuing to drag on while a collision course with a spike in tourist arrivals is imminent? The answer is social control. Opening the spigot of tourism in the middle of a pandemic is “nuts,” and the reaction of local residents could be unpredictable as the double standard becomes blatantly obvious. The Draconian “lockdown” is meant to protect tourists from any backlash. Thus, the Fascists are using operant conditioning to transform the masses into complete docility and subservience. Pavlov and BF Skinner would be proud!

Update: The 14-day quarantine requirement for arriving tourists will expire on June 30th. Hawai’i will be completely open for tourism, just in time for Summer. Who knew?

Notes on Pre-Crime: The brutal conditions facing the masses would have provoked violent social unrest in past times. Now, by exploiting “super-duper corona,” the masses are like a blob of quivering jelly. Afraid of their own shadows, they can barely venture outdoors without a “security blanket” (i.e., face masks). They are now easy prey for the Fascist police state.

Every contingency deployed in the “War on Death” can easily be converted to serve the Fascist police surveillance and detection apparatus. From “smartphones” to “Trojan Horse” vaccines to antigen testing, the goal to completely “brand” each individual like cattle is fairly obvious.

The latest nefarious tool is “contact tracing.” In its latest iteration, people with inflated “security” guard tendencies will be recruited as “contact tracers.” They will be official kapo-rona with enough power to force people into isolation and quarantine as well as blemish the victims’ records.

“Minority Report”

All of that bullshit is a precursor to “pre-crime,” the fictional police technology of the flick, “Minority Report.” All branches of the government, the military, and the police state are in service to the moneychangers and powers-that-be. They must enrich and protect that constituency and keep the subservient masses in check. Everything is “private property” and must be protected from encroachment by the “deplorables.”

Nonetheless, the Fascists and their handlers know no limits. They will attempt to steal everything from the masses, even if the eventuality compels the masses to revolt. Thus, “pre-crime” will be deployed to crush any rebellious attempt at its inception. Insurrection will not be tolerated. The dystopian reality described is here now.
