So I was watching the CNN documentary of doctors

And switched to watch the end of the Godzilla movie because at least that it is admitted that it’s fantasy. Then I changed back to watch the end of this ridiculous program.

All of a sudden it’s revisionist history time and everybody has an appropriate attack of conscience. You know what, I feel at least 400,000 of these people died unnecessarily and these doctors are complicit in mass murder. They should have all convened a panel and stated that if federal mandates were not enacted, they would resign.

Believe me they could all get jobs elsewhere in a moment. No one was starving to death, no one needed food on the table or the mortgage payment. Their continued employment caused untold suffering and death to say nothing of the eventual cases which will manifest themselves in years to come of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Oh, did I forget to discuss pulmonary issues?

They all stink. To high heaven.

they are nailing Azar.

Redfield is a cowardly POS, but some of what he said--re: the attempt to assert censorship/editorial authority over MMWR and of course the control of press statements and policy statements were clearly taken over by Azar and his joint WH assigned cronies. The RW asshole, Michael Caputo and the non-medically trained (Scott Atlas-wannabe) incompetent, unqualified Paul Alexander. Certainly cowardly, that Redfield did not stand up for CDC and unethical as hell that he did not quit. Granted, that would not have likely changed much.

3. The banality of evil

as Hannah Arendt described how the Nazis succeeded, using Eichmann as an example:

Arendt found Eichmann an ordinary, rather bland, bureaucrat, who in her words, was ‘neither perverted nor sadistic’, but ‘terrifyingly normal’. He acted without any motive other than to diligently advance his career in the Nazi bureaucracy. Eichmann was not an amoral monster, she concluded in her study of the case, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1963). Instead, he performed evil deeds without evil intentions, a fact connected to his ‘thoughtlessness’, a disengagement from the reality of his evil acts. Eichmann ‘never realised what he was doing’ due to an ‘inability… to think from the standpoint of somebody else’. Lacking this particular cognitive ability, he ‘commit[ted] crimes under circumstances that made it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he [was] doing wrong’.

Arendt dubbed these collective characteristics of Eichmann ‘the banality of evil’: he was not inherently evil, but merely shallow and clueless, a ‘joiner’, in the words of one contemporary interpreter of Arendt’s thesis: he was a man who drifted into the Nazi Party, in search of purpose and direction, not out of deep ideological belief. In Arendt’s telling, Eichmann reminds us of the protagonist in Albert Camus’s novel The Stranger (1942), who randomly and casually kills a man, but then afterwards feels no remorse. There was no particular intention or obvious evil motive: the deed just ‘happened’.

They had become so adapted to working with the Federal beauracracy that when expected to oversee mass death from the pandemic, they were unable to see the moral consequences.

For tap dancing around Covigula's election strategy, and saving who would listen to them.

They informed me while Trumps lemmings / believers killed as many as they could.

Liberate Assholia.

Der Fuhrer was breathing down their necks 100% of the time.

It's his fault not theirs.
