Pretense

Everywhere, at least according to the “mainstream” media, angry mobs are rioting, looting, and confronting the Fascist police. Not so in Hawai’i. People are placidly wearing their face masks full-time, and observing the “lockdown” that remains in effect until the end of the month.

Actually, there was a small, peaceful protest with a candlelight vigil. Participants were wearing their face masks and kept “social distancing.” The silent protest was hardly noticeable. There was more passion on display in the protests against the research telescope observatory that is slated for construction on the Big Island.

Even the local news has moved on. There were daily articles about the confirmed cases of “super-duper corona” and feature stories about the agonizing recovery of a couple of patients. That all abruptly came to an end over a week ago. Now, there’s a big push to open up tourism ... errr, the Hawai’i economy.

The governor of Hawai’i stated about a week ago that the mandatory 14-day quarantine for overseas and inter-island travelers would be “extended beyond June.” Then, curiously, he decided to drop the inter-island quarantine mandate a couple of days later. So, there’s no inter-island travel quarantine after June 15th.

The whole quarantine hoax was laughable anyway. It’s not even enforced. The authorities only act if kapo-rona report any violations. Yeah, many kapo-rona have been intensely monitoring social media to find people who blatantly post their escapades on-line when they should be in quarantine.

The Notes prediction that the floodgates of tourism will be opened on July 1st still stands. Currently, there is a plan calling for voluntary “super-duper corona” testing for all overseas visitors. Only visitors who provide verification for testing negative will be able to avoid the 14-day quarantine upon arrival. Is this some kind of joke? Who is actually going to waste time getting tested for “super-duper corona” when the quarantine is on the “honor system”? If several thousand tourists arrive daily, how will any kind of enforcement be possible? Once again, the hoax is laid bare by “lip service.”

“Face mask dining” at restaurants will commence on Friday, the latest “crumb” thrown to the masses while in “lockdown.” Clearly, the true purpose of “lockdown” is to maintain social order. The other islands have already allowed gyms to reopen with “face mask workouts.” Gyms on this island will open on June 19th at the earliest.
