In the old Soviet Union, citizens were not required to be a member of the Communist Party. But if you were not, you could never expect to rise far professionally or socially. You would never be the head of a department in university, a factory manager, much less the General Secretary. They were always recruited out of the party.
Party membership was proof of loyalty. It was a demonstration that you were willing to put loyalty over morality. Rising high in the party also meant that others in the ruling class likely had something on you. No one gained power without other powerful people knowing of your grim deeds. That way there was mutual trust, or, to put it another way, mutual blackmail.
Honor among thieves only holds true for those who are guilty of thievery.
The system was the same in Nazi Germany. You didn’t have to join the party but if you refused, you could not rise in academia, military, or government. And everyone knew the rules. The party controlled the state, and members of the party controlled you. Only the members of the party were trusted with responsibility and rewarded with emoluments.
We are headed this way in the US today.
The party in question is the lockdown party. Far from having repudiated this brutal, rights-violating, and ineffective method of pandemic management, the ruling class is doubling down. Even more than that, those who participated in the fiasco are being rewarded. Indeed, participation is now seen as proof of loyalty and a demonstration that one can be trusted by the people who matter.
That’s my best read on why Mandy Cohen is being pulled away from her perch in North Carolina, where she led a catastrophic pandemic response, to be the replacement for Rochelle Walensky as head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She is a faithful member of the lockdown party and thus demonstrates her willingness to do it again should the occasion arise.
This is not going to help the CDC recover from its terrible reputation.
Going through her timeline is a strange blast from the past of heartbreaking fear-mongering, pseudo-science, and propaganda. She passed with flying colors all three tests of compliance: closures, masking, and vaccine mandates.
If you believed there was ever any science behind any of this, Mandy inadvertently revealed otherwise. They made decisions based on some weird club of lockdowners that gained a feeling of power and control simply by chit-chatting on the phone with each other. It was all arbitrary and completely disregarding of human rights.
She also took the lead in broadcasting bad information from the CDC that has since been repeatedly debunked.
Of course she was also nuts for masks despite no evidence that they achieved anything in mitigating virus spread. To show what a faithful party member she is, she even wore a mask with Fauci’s picture on it.
There is no mystery about why Biden tapped her. Politico spills the beans:
The CDC is also in the midst of a strategic overhaul launched by Walensky last year; a longer-term project that Cohen would be tasked with managing in an effort to better prepare the agency for the next public health emergency.
Biden officials involved in the search came away from discussions with Cohen impressed by her broad range of health experience at the federal and state levels, two of the people said, and convinced she had the ability to manage the nearly 11,000-person agency and the broader political dynamics of an administration gearing up for Biden’s re-election run.
The same is true for the National Institutes of Health. Biden has tapped Monica Bertagnolli, who has deep ties to Big Pharma and a public record of obsequious deference to her boss.
We are all hoping for a clean repudiation of these policies, and even a flip of the narrative such that participating in this disaster would be a mark against people in terms of career development. We are nowhere near that point yet.
It’s the opposite. The regime is still hiring and promoting out of the lockdown party for the future. They cannot admit error and are working to make sure they never have to do so.
And that’s how Khrushchev became Brezhnev who became Andropov who became Chernenko who became Gorbachev. Finally, it all fell apart. Let us hope we don’t have to wait 50 years this time.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its stance on masks and is now recommending wearing masks for up to six months a year in health care settings.
“CDC is in the early stages of developing metrics that could be used to guide when to implement select infection prevention and control practices for multiple respiratory viruses,” the CDC said in a May 8 update to its recommendations for health care personnel during COVID-19.
“Some facilities might consider recommending masking during the typical respiratory virus season (approximately October-April),” the agency said. The recommendation for six months of masking is applicable only in settings where health care is delivered, including nursing homes and home health. It is not intended for non-health care settings like restaurants.
For COVID-19, the CDC “continues to recommend that healthcare facilities institute facility-wide masking when masks are recommended in the community.”
Phil Kerpen, president of the public policy advocacy group American Commitment, criticized the CDC’s recommendation for half-year masking.
“This is psychopathic. They are going to pretend masks stop flu-despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary over decades-just to avoid admitting error. Recall the whole pitch for COV2 masking was that it’s supposedly not transmitted like flu!” he said in a May 8 tweet.
According to the CDC, the data on COVID-19 hospital admissions will be used “to help the public decide when masking in the community should be considered.” However, the CDC acknowledges that based on data from late 2022 and 2023, “these levels might be less useful to inform masking recommendations in healthcare facilities.”
Ill Effects of Continued Masking
Wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has been identified as causing several health complications. A systematic review of 2,168 studies that looked into the issue found that mask-wearing during the pandemic led to headaches, itchiness, and oxygen restriction, among others.
“We found significant effects in both medical surgical and N95 masks, with a greater impact of the second,” states the review, published in the “Frontiers in Public Health” on April 5.
A meta-analysis of multiple studies found that headache was the “most frequent symptom” among mask wearers, with a prevalence of 62 percent for general mask use and up to 70 percent when using N95 masks. Shortness of breath was observed at 33 percent for general mask use and 37 percent among N95 users.
“Masks interfered with O2-uptake and CO2-release and compromised respiratory compensation,” the review states. “Though evaluated wearing durations are shorter than daily/prolonged use, outcomes independently validate mask-induced exhaustion-syndrome (MIES) and down-stream physio-metabolic disfunctions. MIES can have long-term clinical consequences, especially for vulnerable groups.”
A study of mask use among health care professionals during COVID-19 discovered that prolonged use of N95 and surgical masks by health care professionals during COVID-19 resulted in adverse events like acne, skin breakdown, headaches, and impaired cognition among “the majority of those surveyed.”
Masking Criteria
Presently, the CDC’s “COVID-19 Community Levels” are used to determine whether communities should take preventive action against the infection, including masking recommendations. Data on hospitalizations and infections are collected, which is then used to classify communities as low, medium, or high risk.
The upcoming changes mean that only hospitalizations will be taken into consideration when determining whether requirements like masking need to be implemented in communities.
“COVID-19 community levels or CCS which are used to guide individual and community actions will be discontinued since they rely on those case data in part,” Brendan Jackson, a contributor to the CDC’s field epidemiology manual, confirmed during a May 5 press briefing.
“That said, this change again is not as big a deal as it might sound and will be replaced by the hospital admission levels, which were again the main driver of the community levels.”

So why are the powers-that-be, globally, forcing their citizens to wear these face masks, if the masks simply don’t work against coronavirus, and might very well be dangerous to your health? The answer might surprise you:
