Benjamin Franklin said, Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Thanks to the Controlavirus, martial law has overtaken the planet, curtailing freedom, virtually empowering governments to the point of totalitarianism. Here in America, planks in the Bill of Rights are being shredded. While these prohibitions on rights may not be permanent, they nevertheless represent an unprecedented flirtation with dictatorship. Freedom of worship: Religious services are forbidden. Gatherings for worship, corporate prayer and religious studies have been curtailed, except for online substitutes such as livestreams and Zoom meetings. This appears to be the first time that Easter services have been globally cancelled since Constantine legalized Christianity in the fourth century AD. On April 10, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced plans to record the license plate numbers of Easter churchgoers and force them into self-quarantine for 14 Days. Fortunately, a judge overturned the edict. Less fortunate was Greenville, Mississippi, where police cars descended on King James Bible Baptist Church for scheduling a drive-up church service. See the video by Pastor Charles E. Hamilton, Jr. The right to peaceably assemble: A number of states have restricted gatherings to ten persons, and have stay at home requirements or advisories in effect for non-essential travel. In a worst-case scenario, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer issued orders forbidding anyone from even visiting a friend or family member unless they were a caregiver. Whitmer began taking a softer tone after a massive citizen protest erupted on April 15th. The right to a speedy and public trial, and trial by jury is encoded in the Bill of Rights. Jury trials across the nation have been cancelled or postponed again, the suspensions are temporary, but how close are we to acclimating people to eliminating them altogether?Here are examples of egregious rights violations across the nation: A Colorado man was arrested and handcuffed in front of his six-year-old daughter for playing softball with her, which allegedly violated antisocial distancing requirements. Noteworthily, the police themselves were not wearing masks and violated social distancing in making the arrest. Residents of Cameron County, Texas, can face a $1,000 fine for not wearing some form of covering over their nose and mouth. In Sedgwick County, Kansas, emulating the old Soviet Union, citizens are encouraged to use online forms to snitch on neighbors who may be violating stay-at-home mandates or operating non-essential businesses. Indiana's Howard County has ordered businesses to stop selling non-essential goods, including books. So book-burning is now part of the medical martial law paradigm. On May 5, Shelley Luther was ordered to be jailed for seven days and fined $7,000 for reopening her Dallas hair salon in in defiance of lockdown restrictions. She was released from jail after the case received nationwide attention. On May 13, in a scene becoming all too typical, police threw a New York mom onto a subway station floor, and handcuffed her in front of her child, not because she wasn't wearing a mask, but because she wasn't wearing it properly. Google is reporting peoples movements to the government to track whether social distancing and limits on social gatherings are obeyed. Meanwhile, the White House has held a teleconference with execs from Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter to help battle coronavirus, including discussion about how to stop the spread of coronavirus conspiracy theories. Overseas, the situation is often worse. In Singapore, sitting or standing too near another person is punishable by prison terms of up to 6 months and fines of up to $7,000. In Tunisia, remotely controlled 'robocops' enforce lockdown rules and demand to see people's travel permits. In Greece, Orthodox Bishop Seraphim Stergiulis was arrested for keeping his church open for worship. In Britain, police have set up online forms so people can snitch on neighbors who violate lockdown orders. Paris has banned outdoor exercise during daytime hours. The Danish Parliament has passed a draconian law authorizing the government to test, quarantine and vaccinate citizens without their consent. On May 9, an Australian mother who was peacefully protesting the lockdown's violation of civil liberties, was arrested and her young son torn away from her.
