GUEST COLUMN, by Corpulentus Wallinum (his Latin Name), a loyal reader….

Comrade, I don’t want to have to endure any more TV, internet or radio ads telling me “We are all in this together.” I am not in this together, and you are not my comrade.
I did not hire Tony Fauci 40 years ago. I did not elect him benevolent dictator.
I did not agree to the formation of NIH, CDC and WHO.
I did not call for closing the schools.
I did not call for depriving college and high school seniors of the joy of a graduation ceremony.
I did not decide to label some businesses essential and others non-essential.
I did not authorize governors and mayors to issue imperial, random decrees as “law.”
I did not cause sick people to become sicker or die because their medical needs were deemed non-essential.
I did not promote law enforcement officials demeaning their meaningful jobs enforcing unconstitutional edicts.
I did not approve of depriving Americans of the joy of the NCAA tournament.
I did not approve of depriving all high school and college kids of the joy of sports (and the discipline and hard work integral to competing).
I did not assent to putting 36 million Americans on unemployment.
I did not assent to destroying the life work of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of small businesses.
I did not authorize an Army of Karens to snitch on their neighbors yearning to be free.
Above all else, I did not panic and become consumed by fear.

Why?
I did not trust the models.
I did trust in God.
I did remember history.
I applied common sense.
I wondered how come mankind has survived all plagues and pandemics in prior times when our medical knowledge was laughable.
I wondered why we came to trust in a model, and not in God.
I wondered why so many people were complying with recommendations and Executive Orders that are clearly contrary to the Constitution, but also contrary to the God-given rights the Constitution is supposed to protect.

So I have some questions…
How come we trusted in the Cambridge model of Neil Ferguson? (Look at his past predictions.)
How come the various alphabet agencies (CDC, NIH, WHO, FDA and various other Federal, State and local health officials) were not prepared for dealing with a pandemic, given that would seem to be in their job descriptions?
How come we’ve been told to flatten the curve and now are being told we are not safe until a vaccine is developed?
How come Dr. Fauci has not found an AIDS vaccine in his 40 years of “service?”
How come Dr. Fauci said the Coronavirus was nothing to worry about and now says we can’t open schools?
How come Dr. Fauci said we’d be better off never shaking hands again, but hooking up on Tinder was OK?
How come civil servants, working at government agencies, paid by US taxpayers, get to patent discoveries in their own names?

How come in 2014 the US banned “gain of function” research (where a virus is manipulated by scientists) within the US?

How come Dr. Fauci thereafter outsourced gain of function research, specifically on Coronavirus, to the virology lab in Wuhan?

How come thousands of cases of EARLY application of hydroxychloroquine, zinc and a Z-pack leading to cure is “anecdotal,” while Dr. Fauci has no doubt that social distancing has worked?
How come Walmart can operate with social distancing but a church can’t?
How come surfing is permitted on a California beach, but swimming isn’t?
How come in Illinois only 2 people can be in a boat?
How come people like Neil Ferguson and the Pritzker family don’t follow the rules they impose on everyone else?
How come it takes the FDA so long to approve medical patents?
How come no one questions the morality of the amount of suffering and number of lives lost while the FDA takes forever in its arbitrary approval process?
How come no one is troubled by the ethical dilemma posed in “double-blind, clinical trials?” (The tester is essentially choosing who will get a placebo and perhaps sentencing that person to death.)
How come so many government regulations had to be waived or suspended for our ramped up response to this virus?
How come abortion is a “woman’s choice,” but is a non-elective, essential medical procedure?
How come the models are still wrong even with all the data we have gathered?
How come the deaths are highly concentrated around the Acela corridor?
How come hospitals get paid more for a Corona patient rather than a flu patient?
How come the media refuses to believe it is possible hospitals have an incentive to code deaths as Coronavirus?
How come we are hearing stories of the pitiful few businesses being “allowed” to open and having a hard time getting employees because the now unemployed employee makes more on the Corona unemployment?
How come this employment disincentive is not being widely reported on?
How come these experts in the various Hydra of “health” agencies haven’t been fired for abject failure at their jobs?
How come during the government shutdowns we were deluged with stories of the hardships of the poor government workers? (And they got full pay anyway – a vacation fully paid on deferral)
How come we haven’t seen even a fraction, much less proportional, number of stories about the 36 million unemployed, the lost businesses, the lives ruined, the quiet desperation, the suicides, the abuse?

How come the concept of a “non-essential” government job isn’t a laughable oxymoron?

How come if I ask these questions I am a racist, a hater, a Nazi, un-American, a misanthrope wishing death on fellow human beings?
How come people aren’t dying in droves in Florida and Georgia?
How come politicians at all levels haven’t been tarred and feathered?
How come by asking that question I will likely be subject to government surveillance?
How come no one in the media seems bothered by this amount of pain?
How come the media is promoting shutting up people who dissent?
How come the media seeks to discount other studies that contradict the narrative?
How come the media continues to report the end of the world when we can see, right here and right now, it is not ending?
How come lying to the FBI is a crime, but the FBI lying to you is not?
How come lying to Congress is a crime, but Congress lying to you is not a crime (looking at Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, UpChuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi here, who all had access to all the intelligence yet continued to lie nightly about “Russia”)?
How come there are 2,000 former DOJ lawyers who signed a letter advocating for General Flynn to be convicted of a crime he did not commit?
How come each and every one of those lawyers has not been reported to the applicable State Bar for violating the canon of ethics?
How come the “free press” seems remarkably incurious about matters reflecting poorly on one party, but not the other?
How come the media never seems to ponder “Cui bono?,” when receiving leaks or “anonymous” reports?
How come all the FISA “mistakes” referenced by IG Horowitz went the same way?
I could go on forever, and it feels like I have.

To summarize – with regard to “experts” and government officials and our fourth estate, I do not trust you. I am not in this together. To borrow a Southernism, “Quit telling me it’s raining outside when you’re peeing on my leg!”

I am not stupid. The fool says in his heart there is no God. I am not a fool. I trust in God. I am not meant to live in fear or to be deprived of my God-given rights. I will never allow this to happen again. If you try a stunt like this again, I, and millions of others, will rise up, and you better hope it is limited to tar, feathers and pitchforks.
