I was just following orders.

History is primed to repeat itself.

The first Violent arrest for not following social distancing rules was acted out in NYC, where 1,000 police officers were charged with making sure the populace was adhering to the new guidlines.

I spoke about this in my Twitch Stream:

When I first learned that the NYPD was adding 1000 officers to enforce these draconic social distancing rules I said, at that time, that an incident such as this would take place. Not more than 24 hours had passed when my vision was proven to be true.

People need to wake up fast, and realize that the people protesting these stay at home rules are not going away anytime soon. In fact the movement will gain in numbers as long as these rules stay in place. You don’t have to agree with them, in fact you can downright hate them if you choose, but one thing you can not do is ignore them.

These movements are being infiltrated by Neo Nazi groups, using it as a sounding board for their own benefit. The majority of the people making up these groups are hard working citizens, who have had their means of livelihood taken away. Not by an President mind you, but by their own state.

If you are an American, you know the saying:

“We are all just 2 pay-checks away from being homeless.”

In America, the powers that be decided to hand out Government Issued Checks for all Americans ( well almost all) to help them out during this difficult time. The amount of this check is truly laughable, 1,200 US dollars.

Hey, will that be counted as Taxable Income on next years taxes?

All the while the politicians, the Rulers, will be receiving their full income without any hiccups, no pauses, no delays, and no worries.

This brutal fact is making matters worse with the public, specifically the ones protesting.

These protests will continue, they will grow in numbers, and they will spread throughout the globe.

For as long as the Governments of the world dictate what a:

“Non-essential business” is, and ignore the fact that all businesses which employ people are essential, this will only get worse.

Durning my writing this Police in Frankfurt Germany came under attack for enforcing social distancing rules.

The title I chose for this short article was inspired by the Nazis, the men who ran the Death Camps. For at their trails in Nuremberg they claimed:

“I was just following orders, I was a soldier, I was just following orders.”

This didn’t work for them.

Someone, soon, will be shot and killed by a member of the Social Distancing Patrols. He/She too will say:

“I was following orders”

I wonder if today, it will work for them.
