Daily Kos Calls Unvaccinated ‘Domestic Terrorists,’ Says They Should Be ‘Under House Detention Wearing Ankle Monitors’

The far-left Daily Kos news blog labeled unvaccinated Americans “domestic terrorists” and called for them to be arrested and put “under house detention wearing ankle monitors” in a recent article published to the site pushing Joe Biden and Democrat lawmakers to institute vaccine mandates and vaccine passport programs.

Accusing unvaccinated Americans of belonging to a “death cult” and of taking part in a GOP-led conspiracy to hurt Biden’s vaccination efforts and “sully the Democratic brand for the 2022 mid-terms,” the article, written by leftist blogger Mark Karlin, blamed GOP lawmakers and Trump voters for the so-called “Delta Variant” COVID strain that Karlin claims will kill millions – contrary to evidence from experts suggesting the “Delta Variant” symptoms are mild and akin to “hay fever” or the common cold – before going on to fantasize about arresting and detaining the unvaccinated, subjecting them to government tracking programs.

A New State of Segregation: Vaccine Cards Are Just the Beginning

“The things we were worried would happen are happening.”—Angus Johnston, professor at the City University of New York

Imagine it: a national classification system that not only categorizes you according to your health status but also allows the government to sort you in a hundred other ways: by gender, orientation, wealth, medical condition, religious beliefs, political viewpoint, legal status, etc.

This is the slippery slope upon which we are embarking, one that begins with vaccine passports and ends with a national system of segregation.

It has already begun.

With every passing day, more and more private businesses and government agencies on both the state and federal level are requiring proof of a COVID-19 vaccination in order for individuals to work, travel, shop, attend school, and generally participate in the life of the country.

No matter what one’s views may be regarding the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, this is an unnerving proposition for a country that claims to prize the rights of the individual and whose Bill of Rights was written in such a way as to favor the rights of the minority.

By allowing government agents to establish a litmus test for individuals to be able to engage in commerce, movement and any other right that corresponds to life in a supposedly free society, it lays the groundwork for a “show me your papers” society in which you are required to identify yourself at any time to any government worker who demands it for any reason.

Such tactics can quickly escalate into a power-grab that empowers government agents to force anyone and everyone to prove they are in compliance with every statute and regulation on the books. Mind you, there are thousands of statutes and regulations on the books. Indeed, in this era of overcriminalization, it is estimated that the average American unknowingly breaks at least three laws a day.

This is also how the right to move about freely has been undermined, overtaken and rewritten into a privilege granted by the government to those citizens who are prepared to toe the line.

It used to be that “we the people” had the right to come and go as we please without the fear of being stopped, questioned by police or forced to identify ourselves. In other words, unless police had a reasonable suspicion that a person was guilty of wrongdoing, they had no legal authority to stop the person and require identification.

Unfortunately, in this age of COVID-19, that unrestricted right to move about freely is being pitted against the government’s power to lock down communities at a moment’s notice. And in this tug-of-war between individual freedoms and government power, “we the people” have been on the losing end of the deal.

‘They’re Criminal!’—Establishment Now Dangerously Dehumanizing the Vaccine Hesitant

Last week, President Joe Biden took to his pulpit to read from the teleprompter and announced mandatory vaccinations for government workers. Without citing any evidence, Biden claimed that “We have a pandemic because of the unvaccinated.” He must have missed the part where the pandemic started before there was a vaccine.

After this claim, Biden further lambasted those who haven’t gotten the COVID-19 jab, telling them, “If in fact you’re unvaccinated, you present a problem to yourself, to your family and to those with whom you work.”

Before going on any further, to dispel any claims that the Free Thought Project is “anti-vax” it is important to point out that we feel people should have a right to informed consent. There are many who can benefit from the COVID-19 vaccine and they should consult their doctors and make the best choice for themselves, individually. The same goes for those who may suffer potential harms from receiving the vaccine. No one here is anti-vaccine, we are, however, pro-safety, and pro-informed consent as anything else is tyranny.

With that being said, the scolding of Americans for asserting their medical freedom has reached fever pitch and it has shifted from ridicule to outright dehumanization.

Recently, CNN took to calling for “the unvaccinated” to be banned from buying food, going out in public, or even having jobs.

BUSTED! StL County Health Director Dr. Faisal Khan Caught in HATE HOAX! Accused Anti-Maskers of Shouting Racial Slurs and Shoving Him — VIDEO PROVES HE LIED!

Last week St. Louis County Commissioner Sam Page implemented a mask mandate once again in the county due to the COVID delta variant. The mandate ended on its second day.

On Tuesday night, only a day after the mandate went into effect in the St. Louis city and county, the mandate was overturned in a 5-2 vote.

But the story did not end there.
St. Louis County Health Director Dr. Faisal Khan testified at the meeting for dirtbag Sam Page in favor of facemasks. When he left the contentious meeting Dr. Khan claimed he was physically pushed and had racial slurs shouted at him during a contentious county council meeting Tuesday.

The fake news ran with the story.
Dr. Khan, who was behind the mask mandate, claimed the local citizens shoved him and screamed racial slurs at him as he left the building.

He was invited on MSNBC to tell his story.

NIH Director Says Parents Should Wear Masks Inside Their Own Homes

National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins told CNN earlier today that parents with children under the age of 12 should wear face masks INSIDE their own homes.

Yes, really.

During an appearance on New Day, Collins said the measure was necessary to protect kids who haven’t taken the vaccine because of the delta variant, despite him admitting that health problems in children are “rare.”

“Which means recommendations of mask-wearing in schools and at home,” said Collins. “Parents of unvaccinated kids should be thoughtful about this, and the recommendation is to wear masks there as well. I know that’s uncomfortable, I know it seems weird, but it is the best way to protect your kids.”

Imagine being so terrorized by the grossly exaggerated threat of COVID, imagine being such a spineless jellyfish conformist, that you wear masks inside your own house.

That’s completely absurd.

They’re Normalizing Police Robots By Calling Them “Dogs”

Hawaii police are defending their use of pandemic relief funds for a robotic “police dog” made by Boston Dynamics which scans homeless people’s eyes to see if they have a fever.

“If you’re homeless and looking for temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eye to make sure you don’t have a fever,” says a new report from Associated Press. “That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, the best-known of a new commercial category of robots that trot around with animal-like agility.”

“Acting Lt. Joseph O’Neal of the Honolulu Police Department’s community outreach unit defended the robot’s use in a media demonstration earlier this year,” AP reports. “He said it has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between meal times at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine and get tested for COVID-19. The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.”

Punk Band ‘Offspring’ Fires Drummer for Refusing to Take COVID Vaccine Due to His Pre-Existing Conditions

Offspring drummer Pete Parada has been fired by the “punk” band Offspring for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Parada had been in the band for over fourteen years and is following the advice of his doctor who said that he should not get it due to his pre-existing conditions.

“Given my personal medical history and the side-effect profile of these jabs, my doctor has advised me not to get a shot at this time,” Parada wrote in a Twitter thread about his firing.

The drummer has already had the virus as well, meaning he is likely to have the antibodies.

I caught the virus over a year ago, it was mild for me – so I am confident I’d be able to handle it again, but I’m not so certain I’d survive another post-vaccination round of Guillain-Barré Syndrome which dates back to my childhood and has evolved to be progressively worse over my lifetime. Unfortunately for me, (and my family – who is hoping to keep me around a bit longer) the risks far outweigh the benefits,” he wrote.
