I'd rather be citing a source other than Eric Snowden. On the other hand, he may know exactly what he's talking about (posted at YouTube on April 14, 2020):
Your thoughts on what is stated in the above video?
There appears to be a few concepts in the video. 1. Reactive laws tend to become permanent. 2. This latest "crisis" provoked/is provoking intrusive data collection, contact tracing. 3. That data may be used for other "unintended" purposes.
There is an acceptance of the abuses to our sovereignty because of fear. People wearing masks while driving, walking alone. It's either virtue signalling or fear. Those are the people that will welcome this, to the peril of the rest of us. That makes them our adversaries as they present a threat to us. That's a bad place to be.
When the "loyalty cards" were first introduced at the grocery store there was much objection based on, "they'll know what you're buying." I was checking out one day and the lady in line behind me issued that warning when I used my shiny new card. Bear in mind when I tell you my reply that I'm 76 years old. I told her, "It's okay. I buy my pornography at a different store."
To some degree I think this fear is overhyped. I don't go anywhere that I don't want the government, or anyone else, not to know about. If you do, leave your iPhone at home. Putting a tracer on your phone is not a big deal. If you think it endangers your freedom, then anyone with an IQ above room temperature can circumvent such a tracer.
Still, we have the patriot act. And it is a federal offense to lie to the FBI. Passing laws in a time of panic means laws pass that are over reaction and are bad laws. Almost laws that erode freedom and constitutional protection.
And they are almost always passed without sunset provisions, and even when they have them, renewals seem to be automatic.
But, they are passed by legislators whom we have reelected a dozen or more times. We know what they do. They've done it for years. So we have no one to blame but ourselves.
It don't matter who is voted in Office; it will take a majority of voters in every State to vote in some who are ready to fight the Deep State. If not, the House Rep. or Senator will have to worry about a relative kidnapped until they vote for a Bill that is over reaching (or - plain out right unConstitutional), or worth Millions to some Congress Critter. Government Health Care err... World Health Org. This is why Nancy P. said they were passing Affordable Health Care Act, by parachuting in, and lying about it. Welcome to the U.N.

A great deal of courage stems from having nothing to lose. Conversely, a great deal of cowardice stems from luxury, and not wanting to risk what you have.

It's Time to Bench Fauci
New York Post
by Adriana Cohen
The single biggest threat against President Donald Trump's reelection in November isn't unhinged liberals out for blood, a hostile media or even a politicized U.S. Supreme Court; it's Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease adviser on the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
If he's not reined in, then he may succeed in making Trump a one-term president. Here's why.
One of the most important things an incumbent needs to secure reelection is a strong economy, but due to the radical lockdown and months-long national quarantine Fauci championed in March to mitigate the pandemic, the U.S. economy was dealt a devastating blow, resulting in 46 million Americans losing their jobs. . . .

That's a perfect analogy.

DeleteSF is the best. What a gem. Tip o' the hat to him. I hope we meet one day without a mask. But I would wear a mask if called for :- )
