JUST THE WAY IT IS by Sloan Oliver
Our tyrants exposed their duplicity May 26,2020
I t’s been 2+ years since we
were force-scared into
COVID stupidity. Sadly, the
stupidity hasn’t stopped. Just
last week, the Air Force re-in
troduced mandatory masking at
Tinker Air Force Base in Oklaho
ma. Were 28 months into one of
the biggest lies ever perpetrated.
We’ve been hoodwinked about
the scamdemic, sorry I mean
pandemic. We’re talking about a
virus so deadly that most
people must be tested to
know they have it; so dan
gerous that few healthy
adults get sick and virtu
ally none are hospitalized;
yet states and countries
happily collapsed
their economies . A

out of work, hoping
to contain it (none did). All the
while, China directly benefitted
from the virus they released.
trolled by Dems) remained almost
completely closed for two full
years. So, what’s the scam?
THE SCAM is that everything
about the virus: where it origi
nated, how it spreads, who’s at risk,
who’s not at risk, mortality rates,
etc. are lies. Initially, we went along
with the “experts” who told us to
physically distance, wash hands
frequently, don’t touch surfaces,
don’t gather in groups, don’t wear
a mask, then wear a mask, and
so on. People stopped visiting
and stopped gathering. City
parks, churches, schools, and
gyms were closed - told they
were dangerous. Politicians
[demanded that we imprison
ourselves because
Fauci, Stacey, and the
other authoritarians
know better. They
chanted “It’s for your own good”
and “What’s more important,
your health or your insignificant
freedoms.”
TO REVIEW, in 2019, China
released the Wuhan flu upon the
world. After initial illnesses, on
Jan. 31,2020, President Trump
imposed a China travel ban. Dem
ocrats immediately labeled him
xenophobic and racist (of course),
and refused further cooperation.
Knowing little about the virus, by
mid-March, most states “locked
down” their economies, allow
ing only “essential” businesses to
remain open. End of April, some
Republican states (led by Geor
gia) started to re-open, though
keeping virus precautions in place.
Gradually, more states “unlocked.”
Several “blue” states (states con-
FAUCI AND company con
vinced us to trust them. They
know what’s best; stay sequestered
at home because venturing out
was tooooooo dangerous. Our
fascist Democrats even encour
aged citizens to tattle on violating
neighbors. A California paddle-
boarder was arrested on the ocean;
a Colorado man was arrested for
playing with his daughter, in the
park; pastors were arrested for
holding Sunday services. Duti
fully, meekly, with few complaints,
we complied. We stayed home,
we didn’t visit grandma, we didn’t
travel, we closed “non-essential”
businesses, we closed schools,
we closed churches, and we wore
masks,. Big Brother instructed us
to obey, and we did.
THEN, MAY 26,2020, the lies
were exposed. That was the day
after George Floyd died; the day
the “mostly peaceful” protests
began. On May 25, crowds of 10
people were “illegal” (our Dear
Leaders were protecting us). Sud
denly, on May 26 we were allowed
to gather by the thousands, as long
as we protested police brutality
and social “injustice.” In dozens of
blue cities, thousands of protes
tors gathered, unmasked, while
politicians denied 1st Amendment
rights to worship telling us church
services are dangerous. Politicians
actually said it was dangerous to
go to school, to the gym but NOT
dangerous to protest by the thou
sands. Were they serious?
SADLY, THEY were completely
serious. Quickly the mostly peace
ful protests turned into violent
riots. For months, scores of cities
(STL, ATL, Seattle, NYC, etc.)
burned and dozens were mur
dered. In Portland, OR, Antifa and
BLM activists rioted for 100+ con
secutive nights, burning down
town businesses and attempting
to burn the federal courthouse.
In Seattle, Democrats seized a
10-square block area, cordoned it
off from the police and fire, and
declared it CHAZ - Capitol Hill
Autonomous Zone. Gov Inslee
(D) did nothing. Seattle Mayor
Durkan (D) called for a “summer
of love” in CHAZ. Only after a
murder did authorities do any
thing about the Seattle anarchy.
THE MEDIA and Democrat
politicians, instead of disap
proving of the unmasked rioters
(masks were still required when
not rioting) agreed with them,
and actually encouraged the
riots. Chris Cuomo, CNN, asked
“show me where it says protest
ers are supposed to be polite and
peaceful.” Kamala did her best to
encourage the violence. In June
2020, Kamala said, “the riots are
not going to let up, nor should
they. They’re going to keep going.”
She made that statement after
billions in damages and over 20
people had been murdered in
the riots. Kamala even supported
funding bail for arrested rioters.
SUCH BLATANT hypocrisy
proved that Fauci, Democrats, and
the media lied to us about Covid.
They told us that protests and riots
DON’T spread the virus and are
permitted; yet going to the gym or
church was dangerous. Somehow
the virus knew to stay away from
“social” protests but attacks church
goers. They expected people to
believe such doublethink. Sadly,
many did.
DOUBLETHINK IS “the
mental capacity to accept opposite
opinions or beliefs at the same
time, especially as a result of politi
cal indoctrination.” Doublethink is
how Big Brother controlled people
in George Orwell’s 1984. And
in 2020, doublethink was used
by politicians and the media to
control Americans. For example,
the virus was so deadly that small
mom-and-pop businesses (beauty
salons, convenience stores, etc.)
were labelled non-essential and
forcibly closed; yet the virus didn’t
attack large businesses (Kroger,
Walmart, etc.), that employed
thousands, and were allowed to
remain open. The China virus
was so benign that football was
played with players breathing and
sweating all over each other; yet
so deadly that band members,
in the bleachers, sat 10-feet apart
and masked. At no time were we
allowed, and Big Media refused, to
question or consider the stupidity
of these opposite thoughts. Dou
blethink became the new normal.
Don’t question Big Brother. Obey.
FINAL THOUGHT: For 2+
years, the China virus disrupted
the world’s economy, did trillions
in economic damage, threw tens
of millions out of work, destroyed
countless small businesses, and
killed millions around the world.
During the 2020 summer of rage,
riots did billions in damages and
killed dozens. The January 6,2021
protest killed one person and did
an estimated $2 million in dam
ages. In true doublethink, for 18
months, Congress has investigated
the Jan 6th protest but has held
no hearings on the China virus or
the 2020 riots. If politicians want
to know why nobody trusts them,
simply look at their response to
Covid.

Howard says Forsyth
Christmas decorations not
fair to all neighborhoods
By Diane Glidewell
news@mymcr.net
At the July 12 Forsyth council meet
ing, council member John Howard
asked what the city’s plans are for
Christmas decorations this year.
“There were a lot of hurt feelings
last year)’ said How
ard.
He said that people
weren’t happy that
streets were deco
rated beyond the
square by the city in
some directions but
not others. Howard
said the city should
only decorate around
the square or should
make an official de
cision about how far
off the square to go
in each direction.
City manager Jan
ice said that some of
the city’s decorations
are old and need
to be replaced. She
suggested they begin
holding meetings to
plan for Christmas
decorations, includ
ing the purchase of
new ones.
Howard then said
he had heard that
Macon/Bibb County
is tearing down
its 200th blighted
property.
“Where are we
at this point?” he
asked.
City attorney Bobby Melton said
that Macon/Bibb County has “a
whole different way” of handling
blighted properties. He said that For
syth has a list of about 20 properties
but none have been to court to begin
the process of taking possession of
them if the owners don’t clean them
up. Howard said he knows of at least
two properties in the city whose own
ers won’t be located.
“Maybe at this point we need to
change the process,” said Howard.
“We are the governing authority. We
should be able to change the process
so it works.”
“You can change the process, but to
condemn property is a serious thing,”
said Melton. “I’m sure they [Macon/
Bibb] have the same safeguards.”
Howard said he knows Melton is
following the city’s ordinance but
that it is time to change the ordi
nance.
“But if I’m the person who lives
next door [to a blighted property],
you’re not doing anything,” he said.
Mayor Eric Wilson said the city
manager should get a copy of the
Macon/Bibb ordinance on blighted
property.
“We thought we were going in the
right direction,” said council mem
ber Julius Stroud.
At a council meeting several
months ago, council had heard a
report on efforts to address blighted
properties in Forsyth from code
enforcement officer Jeremy Malone.
Malone compiled the list of about 20
properties that could be considered
nuisances because efforts to have
owners clean them up have been
unproductive.
At a subsequent meeting when
a council member asked about
progress on the properties, Hall said
Malone was assigned to night patrol
at the Police Department. She said he
was still working on code enforce
ment but didn’t have as much time
to do so.
City councilman John Howard says some neighbor
hoods are complaining about the way the city distrib
utes Christmas decorations. (File photo)
