I’m wandering along today in a pleasant daze because it finally rained. The rolling hills that are already drying out, victim to California’s artificially induced drought, will green up again, at least for a few weeks.
And then I see the morning digest from the Epoch Times and my reverie vanishes. One headline raises its hand for special attention:
“People’s Convoy Shifts Gears to Protest Proposed California Vaccine Laws.“ (1)
Wait a minute, what proposed California vaccine laws? Why are there any proposed vaccine laws, anywhere? I keep hearing that the Covid show is over, and humanity’s attention is now being directed to the Russia-Ukraine war. Why bother legislating a dead issue?
Since California appears to exist in its own tightly controlled bubble, steered by a governor who refused to give up his Covid emergency powers, I ought not to feel blindsided. But…ten new proposed laws? To combat a nonexistent state of emergency? Even for California, that feels a bit dark-of-the-moon unreal.
I suppose it’s overly optimistic to lean toward the alternative narrative’s assurances that it’s all a movie being played out to wake the sleepers. Even if things are enacted, they won’t stick, anything contra to human sovereignty will be struck down, and so on. All those draconian mandates? They’re not legal, anyway.
Then I consider: legislation is not a mandate. Legislation has the force of law. My admittedly sketchy understanding of legal matters leads me to believe that attempting to repeal a mandate is easier than undoing state legislation that’s been duly enacted into law. No wonder this scenario gives me goosebumps.
I feel as if I’m skipping along a lovely pathway strewn with flowers, birds fluttering in blooming bushes and butterflies dancing above my head, when all of a sudden it’s the reverse of that famous Wizard of Oz scene. Everything goes from color to black and white, a tornado whirls into view, death and destruction loom.
Granted, the tornado has not yet touched down. The proposed bills have not yet been voted on. The first one is to be considered on March 30, 2022. Politicians in Sacramento, most of whom I assume are compromised—bribed or blackmailed, as many believe they are—will be directed by their handlers to pass this into law.
And I can only assume that such will be the case with the other legislation. Without non-compromised politicians standing up to these bills, they will become California law and be imposed upon…me.
