Unnecessary and Counter-Productive The lockdown also violated principles of the rule of law by presumption of guilt. If masks work, why were lockdowns necessary? If lockdowns work, why are masks necessary? Why wear masks when on your own in your home, or car? Why do people walking alone outdoors need to wear a mask? Is there any medical science justifying such extraordinary and unprecedented requirements? The Covid Cult We are facing a Covid cult with dogmatic demands to accept and comply, to submit and not question. Anyone questioning the masquerade is subject to shunning and inquisition-like persecution. Covid-1984 No wonder many are referring to it as Covid-1984. George Orwell’s prophetic warning political satire 1984, seems ominously relevant today. Where the Ministry of Truth deals with lies, the Ministry of Plenty deals with starvation and rationing, the Ministry of Love deals with torture and the Ministry of Peace deals with war. The media communicate in newspeak and double-think and anyone questioning the official party line are guilty of a Thought crime and forced by Thought Police. Those questioning the politically correct narrative can become unpersons, vapourised and disappear down the memory hole. Blatant Hypocrisy The hypocrisy, double-standards and inconsistency of those advocating social distancing could be seen in the bizarre leftist justification of BLM-ANTIFA/EFF riots by the same people who condemned antilockdown protests as “threats” to “spreading the virus”! Unprecedented Ignoring real crime and real threats, governments have poured unprecedented amount of resources and energy into enforcing mindless requirements for even children at school to wear masks all the time and locking down even churches over Easter. To this day, many congregations are not able to gather as government regulations have prevented any churches meeting in a school, scout or guide hall. Right of assembly has been suspended. 6
Disproportionate When restaurant and hospitality industry workers peacefully protested in Cape Town, they were meet with unprecedented violence by police, who had stood by doing nothing while mobs looted, burned and ransacked. However peaceful restauranteurs and hospitality workers were water cannoned, had stun grenades thrown at them and tear gas used to disperse their orderly march. “And that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.” 2 Timothy 2:26 Masks Dehumanise Masks dehumanise. This is the reason why people placed in front of firing squads traditionally have been made to wear a mask. This is not because of any concern for the person about to be shot, it is because it makes the task of the firing squad easier when the victim is dehumanised by having their face obscured. It has long been recognised that forcing Muslim women in the Middle East to wear a veil is dehumanising. Anonymity Encourages Irresponsibility and Unaccountability France forbade women to wear masks/veils in public for multiple reasons, including not to obscure one’s identity, responsibility for actions, or accountability for behaviour. Facial recognition, much like number plates on cars and trucks are essential in a law-abiding society. Interestingly enough, South African law concerning protests passed in 1996, forbids the wearing of masks at any protest. This is so that people’s identity can be determined in the event of any irresponsible action to be able to call each person to account for what they have done. Crime seeks anonymity. Unmask the Masquerade There is a need for courage, integrity and steadfastness. The Cultural Mandate of Genesis 1:28 and the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20, are being stifled and suffocated by lockdown regulations. We need to unmask the truth behind the masquerade. 7
