The definition of FEAR is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. The definition of CONTROL is the power to influence or direct people’s behavior or the course of events. To control by fear is to use the unpleasant emotion that you will be harmed by influencing your behavior towards an event.
People have been controlled by fear since the beginning of time. I do believe that there are healthy forms of fear. The fear that is instilled in us as children for our protection against things that could harm us such as running out into the street or touching a hot stove. There is also the healthy fear for disciplinary purposes, the this for that scenario of if you misbehave then you will be grounded or spanked. The healthy fear of authority which is designed out of respect for our police and our educators. We understand that these people are here to help us but also understand that there are consequences for inappropriate actions. Finally there is a healthy fear of our father in biblical terms. Christians for example believe that we must follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible to have everlasting life in heaven. If we are an immoral non-believer then we will not be saved.
Fear is a learned behavior and it is essential in life. However, if the power of fear is placed in the wrong hands then it can perpetrate its people to submit, unknowingly, the control of their own lives. Our forefathers wanted to protect the rights of its people and did so through our Constitution and the Bill of Rights and Civil Liberties. They understood how government control oppressed its people and fought to free themselves from tyranny and to deliver a future of freedom for all of us. They knew how much man loved power and control and sought to make sure that man could not destroy America due to his/her own greed.
Here we are in the year 2020 during a pandemic and our government is using FEAR of a virus to take away the rights of the American people. I use the term government loosely because they are not governing anyone….they are controlling every aspect of life from where you can go, who can work, what you have to wear, when you can open, why you have to vaccinate, and how long restrictions will last. Daily we hear different stories from the same people. They talk out two sides of their face constantly contradicting themselves. They are in fact magicians. Politicians use fear so that you will focus on their right hand while they steal your freedoms with their left hand. It is MAGIC and the people applaud their efforts to keep them safe while approving the removal of their rights in the name of SAVING a LIFE.
Wearing a mask is an example of freedoms being removed. I find this absolutely ridiculous. People are literally making their own unapproved masks to cover their faces with fabric that is breathable and can be penetrated by droplets. Doctors have already come out against this practice as they state this is unnecessary for healthy people. They have proven that unless you have an N95 mask or a properly filtered mask you are NOT protected. So what is the purpose of the mask? It is a government control tactic based on falsely proposed fear that you will get deathly ill if you don’t wear one. If that does not work then they claim you are selfish as those of you not wearing a mask are going to carry the virus to those most vulnerable and subsequently will be responsible for the death of these people. Really? This empowers the righteous followers of this face mask practice to shun and yell at people who do not wear one in public. They come out on social media and degrade your freedom to NOT wear one. Do you see the sleight of hand?
Declaring that businesses must close to control the spread of this virus is another way that the government has used fear to control its people. The livelihoods of millions and millions of Americans are being purposely destroyed at the hands of our so called leaders. They not only forced businesses large and small to shut down but they also decided which businesses were essential and which ones were not. The question rang out loud, why Walmart and not Joe’s Corner Store? If Joe’s Corner Store sells essentials like Walmart then why is he closed? The false fear will close down the small business and remove your choice to shop there which will force you to only shop at the large conglomerate chain. See a pattern?
Next the government has used your fear to remove your right to assemble and your right to religious freedom. The need to social distance means that you cannot legally come out and protest (peacefully) against a government that has systematically removed your rights one by one. They are condemning your rights to protest their tyrannical overreaching orders. These orders are unfounded in their attempts to suppress the virus. Control is the goal. People are being arrested and cited for congregating at their church in their cars with their windows up while they receive the word of God from their ministers, pastors, priests, and Rabbi’s etc. You can go to a grocery store packed wall to wall but you cannot go before your state governments and protest or go to your Church to pray? Is this becoming more clear for you yet?
The freedom of speech is being removed during this pandemic due to the fear of the virus by promoting propaganda through the media on TV, radio, and social media. They are deciding what is true and what is false using fact checkers, they are spewing unfounded rhetoric to down play the effectiveness of medicine, falsely enhancing the necessity to wear masks, wrongly gagging the challenge of qualified doctors who are treating this virus, and unconscionably suppressing the truth about the Chinese government and the World Health Organization all while taking your voice away to counter any and all of these stances. This is in fact one of the rights we should all hold the most dear. Your ability to question and have your own view and be free to speak it and share it should never be controlled. Can you see the cost of censorship?
One of the most egregious decisions that our governments are currently making is to release criminals from prison. The fear of the virus has state governments (some) letting criminals out of jail and shortening their prison sentences so that they will not catch a virus. Are you kidding me? What about the rights of the victims? The Judicial systems are already stating that they are picking up these same criminals for new offenses. Which means your careless ignorant decision has now created new victims. Where are the rights of the people to be protected by our governments? My favorite piece of this part is that they are letting criminals out while putting offenders who open their government decided non-essential businesses back up without authorization in prison. What? Can you smell the dangerous hypocrisy?
The scariest upcoming fear mongering tool will be the governments attempt to force a vaccination to be taken by all of its citizens to work, buy, sell, and live in the United States of America. Yes in America they are seeking right now a way to mark you as COVID 19 free. There has been talk of a certificate of vaccination completion. Many of you will run to the doctors to get this vaccination as you constantly and blindly trust the practice of medicine and the power of the pharmaceutical companies and the government to enforce them. They have introduced the need for tracing. How do you think they do that exactly? Are you willing to be chipped, labeled, tattooed, and certified over a virus? This is precisely what our forefathers feared. Are you awake yet?
While many of you sit at home in a fetal position over a virus which has a high survival rate (will go up even higher as more of us are tested) the rest of us are out here fighting to ensure that none of us lose our Constitutional Rights. The United States government is a government of the people. The governing officials are put into power by the people. They are supposed to legislate for the people. I do not see that our government’s current actions support Abraham Lincolns most famous phrase to honor the soldiers that sacrificed their lives in order “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” They say to fight the good fight. Well there is no greater fight worth fighting than that to protect our Civil Liberties guaranteed to us by the Constitution. I will not be silenced. I will stand up and speak out against all those who seek to destroy the foundation of this country that our forefathers designed and sacrificed for, that our soldiers have fought and died for, and the country that I love and call home the beautiful United States of America. Don’t Tread On Me!
