The process is the punishment

I'm heading in two different directions with DAD's first and second drops at NOWP:

BS is beginning to hit the fan in Canada.

More than two years after he was accused of breaking pandemic-related public health restrictions, a Red Deer judge acquitted Whistle Stop Cafe owner Chris Scott.

The decision came Monday after the prosecutor invited the ruling in light of a recent court decision finding the orders were invalid because they were imposed in a way that breached Alberta’s Public Health Act.

“Mr. Scott I will acquit you of the charges, you’re free to go,” said Justice James Glass.

... plus PJW's analysis of the madness now going on in public life, madness placing ordinary people in danger. 

At OoL, the direction is "the process is the punishment" or how seemingly innocuous daily behaviour can result in full blown overreaction by authority ... a very OoL-y type topic.  

At N.O., the reaction is to continue my dislike of the vlogging format, started earlier today.

Right ... the process is the punishment ... the most distressing part to me was seeing Plod mincing around in their idea of an alphabet person which, were I an alphabet person myself, would be insulting ... "straights" playing alphabetters must, to them, be unbearable ... I mean, as PJW shows, all the alphabetter wants is to go into schools in clown suit, unmolested, to talk one-on-one with kiddies about sex ... perfectly normal in his eyes.

Whatever the cause which those behind the State have latched onto in order to achieve maximum nausea and distress among ordinary people ... the latest, for example, is telling us, just before winter, not to have our heaters on when it gets cold during winter nights ... whatever the cause du jour, you can be sure the reaction will be highly visible, sensationalised by the MSM, involving ling drawn out persecution of the "offending party".

Loss of your dhop, your home, your livelihood ... all in a day's work to true creeps like that Fani or Jack Smith i America, similar over here.

Truly I say to you, dear reader, we're up against Globopsycho here ... no one remotely rational behaves like this.

Sarah Palin asked did they really want civil war?  And the answer is ... yes, undoubtedly, very much so.  We could even call it "evil" ... evil being not only bureaucratically banal, as has been noted many times before ... but also truly psycho.

Dealing with institutional psychopathy is a thousand times harder than pointing out wrongness to a rational human.  And things will go one of two ways ... either the conflagration Sarah P refers to, with assassinaton of Grandduke Obama or someone to kick it off ... or else it will go the Soviet way.

In my stay in that land, I saw most people, even long after the USSR had collapsed, still cautious what they said to neighbours in case they're shopped to the authorities.  I once went up to Plod in the street to ask directions to a building I was looking for. Later, back home, my friends were incredulous: "You actually went up and asked directions?!" They fell about laughing.

And the laws, often overlapping and clashing ... they just decided, the authorities, on the basis of how obsequious and compliant you'd been, which one to get you on ... spoilt for choice ... or indeed whether to bother at all.

A situation now imported into western countries by zealous Globopsycho through the payola pollies we reelect on the basis of false promises every election time.

Circus indeed.
