THE CONSPIRACY CRAZIES WANT COVID RESTRICTIONS IN 2023 SO THEY CAN FEEL PERSECUTED

There's been an uptick in COVID cases and we're learning about new variants, so Alex Jones and Infowars are telling the gullible that new restrictions are imminent -- government officials say so!
Whistleblowers from the TSA and Border Patrol have raised the alarm to Infowars that the Biden administration is setting the stage for full Covid lockdowns that will begin with incremental restrictions like masking TSA employees in mid-September.

The first source, a high-level TSA official confirmed and known to Infowars, reached out to Infowars and cited a Tuesday meeting in which TSA managers were told new memorandums & policies were being completed that would reimplement masking, starting with TSA & airport employees as early as mid-September.

The TSA official also said next week they will receive new guidelines on how the policy will escalate: by mid-October, mask-wearing will be required by pilots, flight staff, passengers, and airport patrons.

After hearing from the TSA manager, Infowars reached out to our trusted Border Patrol source who is also a manager. This source confirmed the same directives were being given to Border Patrol.

They were told it was not a matter of “if” but “when” official Covid numbers will go back up and they expect by mid-October a return to forced-masking policies that the Biden administration previously only reluctantly ended after massive pressure.
This is all about the election, of course:
Infowars’ analysis is clear: this new rollout’s timing is perfect for the embattled Biden administration to put the country back in a state of civil emergency and even martial law to further divide and confuse the public and move forward with the greatest election meddling in history.

Many times, Alex Jones has warned that the system will bring back biomedical tyranny. And the launch of this new crisis in September will allow a build-up of control that would allow the use of mail-in ballots for the next presidential election.

Remember, mail-in ballots were decisive for Biden’s victory last election.
This is absurd. There'll be mail-in ballots in the 2024 election no matter what's going on with public health. And in the actual United States, no one's wearing masks, even in New York City.

But I'm sure the crazies think this is the distant sound of jackboots (Reuters link):
The Biden administration plans to urge all Americans to get a booster shot for the coronavirus this autumn to counter a new wave of infections, a White House official said on Sunday....

"We will be encouraging all Americans to get those boosters in addition to flu shots and RSV shots," the official said, referring to the Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
Which clearly isn't a mandate or a lockdown at all.

I think it's been actively frustrating for the right that the "Regime" isn't requiring anyone in America to do anything about COVID these days. Right-wing propagandists are usually adept at distracting the rubes with the next new thing when an established narrative hasn't quite lived up to the hype. But the right has been equating COVID health measures with creeping fascism for three and a half years now. The hated libs/globalists/Deep Staters are supposed to just keep taking more and more freedom away from Real Americans, but on COVID, the authorities stopped pushing restrictions and requirements quite a while back. Rightists crave the old restrictions. Without them, they can't feel truly persecuted.

Gateway Pundit is retransmitting this story, and I strongly suspect that Robert Kennedy Jr. will be next. Meanwhile, Naomi Wolf is certain that They're Lying To Us because the numbers don't actually reveal a significant COVID surge.


Except that scientists and mainstream news sources aren't claiming that there's a big surge. They're just saying there's an uptick and there are some new variants.

But COVID oppositionalism was good for Wolf's career (at least as an attention-seeker), and it was good for the careers of many other people -- including Ron DeDSantis. So you can't blame them if they wish the bad old days were back.
