1. Nothing like the present situation has ever happened before.
2. Unless the government intervenes, the situation will get worse and worse.
3. Today is all-important; we must act immediately.
4. Government officials know or can quickly discover how to remedy the problem.
5. We may safely rely on the establishment and on its insiders for expertise in this crisis.
6. We may trust the government to act responsibly and effectively on the basis of the expertise they command.
7. The clear benefits of quick government action may be assumed to outweigh its costs and its actual or potential negative consequences.
8. Fact finding, deliberation, study, and debate are too time-consuming and must be forgone in favor of immediate action.
9. Existing structures and incumbent firms must be preserved; new structures and firms are unthinkable.
10. If a policy is not getting the results its proponents promised, more money should be poured into it until it finally “works.”
11. We must not be deterred by the accumulation of public debt; there is no practical limit to the amount the government may safely borrow.
12. The occasion demands that policymakers put aside partisan or strictly political maneuvering and act entirely in the general public interest, and we can expect them to do act accordingly.

I. Isolation
Quarantines, lockdowns, social distancing, prohibition of crowds and large gatherings.

II. Monopolization of Perception
Corporate media monopolization of the mainstream narrative and those who challenge it are censored and or denigrated. Restricted general movement and monotonous food.

III. Induced Debilitation and Exhaustion
Gym closures, church closures, school closures, losing your job and wearing masks all day long is not healthy, increases stress, exhaustion and induced debilitation.

IV. Threats and Intimidation
Exessive Fines, home quarantine, experimental forced vaccines. we are told millions will die if we go back to normal. tracking chips and contact tracing and a “new normal” are all used as threats and intimidation to coerce compliance.

V. Occasional Indulgences
Walmart, Target and Starbucks are ok, but small businesses are not. rewards for partial or total compliance. “If you just wear a mask, someday we can return to normal.””

VI. Demonstrating Omniscience and Omnipotence
Shutting down global economy. Large fines and jail for not wearing a mask. Bill gates Hollywood actors and others like them broadcast on all the main network shows spinning the same unfounded and fear inducing talking points.

VII. Degredation
Being called “non-essential” as a worker or a “science denier” for questioning the mainstream narrative. Mask wearing symbolizes obedience. Being treated like ignorant fools and called names by celebrities for not complying with unfair or illogical mandates.

VIII. Enforcing Trivial Demands
Enforcing minute rules like “standing 6 feet apart”. following arrows or painted lines on the ground like animals. Random lockdowns for unspecified lengths of time. random hand / feet washing or sterilization. Random open/closed hours of operations on a variety of businesses and temperature checks.
