Resolved: No More Playing Along With The "Lockdowns" The "pandemic" is a lie. The official responses are ruinous and illegal-- even Michigan's Supreme Court says so in no uncertain terms. It's time and past time to stop being an enabler and start being a rock on which the tide of despotism breaks. SO. 2021. A new year, and a point within it traditionally dedicated to reflection and resolution, followed by renewal of the good and rejection of the bad. It is at this point each year that we are supposed to evaluate the past and apply corrections ranging from tweaks to complete turnarounds. Seldom have such practices been more important than right now. I'M NOT GOING TO RECITE the long, dark list of social and political pathologies to which Americans have sheepishly allowed themselves to be subjected during the last 10 months, any and all of which qualify for attention. Either you know them by now or you are incapable of recognizing or acknowledging them however much they are eating out your substance. Instead, I am going to focus on just one thing in regard to which reflection, resolution and spiritual renewal are desperately needed-- albeit, one thing with very considerable heft. I refer to the imposition of closures and restrictions aimed at business-owners by nominal executive officers of various states (the "nominal" part of which will be explained in due course). My specific focus will be on the impositions in Michigan. Michigan lends itself particularly to this discussion, due to being both in the forefront of draconian impositions by executive decree, and in that the Supreme Court of the state has responded to those impositions in an especially notable way, which will be quoted and discussed in depth. However, all that is explained or explored in what follows is equally applicable to every other state. So read on, even if you live outside the Great Lakes state.
