We Were Only Following Orders: Emily Oster’s Plea Bargain

Shuck-and-jive from America’s broken thinking class, the people who pretend to know better than everybody else.

By now, everybody and his uncle has seen Emily Oster’s plea for “pandemic amnesty” in The Atlantic magazine, a house organ of the people in America who know better than you do about… really… everything. Emily’s wazoo is so stuffed with gold-plated credentials (BA, PhD, Harvard; economics prof at Brown U) it’s a wonder that she could sit down long enough to peck out her lame argument that “we need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.”

Emily wasn’t “in the dark.” She had access to the same information as the Americans who recognized that everything the public health authorities, the medical establishment, and many elected officials shoveled out about Covid and its putative remedies and preventatives was untrue, with a patina of bad faith and malice — especially when it was used to persecute their political adversaries.

These dissenters turned out to be “right for the wrong reasons,” she declared, the main reason being that they were not aligned in good-think with the Woke-Jacobinism of her fellow “progressives” at Brown U, and academics all across the land, who were righteously busy destroying the intellectual life of the nation, making it impossible for the thinking class to think.

Let’s face it: every society actually needs a thinking class, a cohort able to frame important issues-of-the-moment that require argument in the public arena to align our collective thoughts and deeds with reality. America used to have a pretty good thinking class, with a pretty good free press and many other platforms for opinion — all animated by respect for the first amendment to the Constitution.

The thinking class destroyed that by vigorously promoting a new censorship regime in every American institution, shutting down free speech and, more crucially, the necessary debate for aligning our politics with reality. Hence, America’s thinking class became the torchbearers of unreality, in step with the Party of Chaos which held the levers of power. This included the powers of life and death in the matter of Covid-19.

No amnesty. Nuremberg 2.0 and hangings immediately following conviction.

They knew what the effects of the kill shot would be, that is why congress exempted themselves. No forgiveness and no forgetting until every last one of them, has their neck stretched and a dirt shirt.

An exempted Congress, and every other three Lettered agency in our idiot government. All were exempt. Yes they knew what the untested vaccine would do to the general population, but they didn’t give a damn. Vengeance is mine thus says the Lord, but these people are murderers, and the Lord also says an eye for an eye
, and a tooth for a tooth. Maybe they should receive the vaccine and the boosters, and let them take their chances.

Everyone seems to know the old testament. They know and believe in God. Do they take the time to know God through the Son? No! Because that is something not many can bare.
How does the eye for and i go in the sermon on the mount?
And yes i am fully admitting that i too have difficulty also.

Suggestion: Study, ask for guidance, Mathew 5,6,7, each and every Word.
Mathew 5:38
You heard that it was said, ‘Eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth; but I say to you do not resist the wicked….
7:26 “And everyone who hears these Words of Mine and does not do them, shall be like a foolish man who built his house on sand,
and rain came down, and the floods came and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.”
a follower- we are in this situation as foretold, because mankind as a ‘majority’ once again generationally defied,& resisted His guidance, His Son, His ways, His Word.
Still they would not repent! How many times do we read this?

Recall also--while the FDA/CDC/MSM were castigating/deplatforming any who advocated for IVM & HCQ--that all senators & congressmen (and staff & families of same) were given free access to IVM dosages upon request.
Paid for by our taxes.

Keep in mind these “mad” doctors are STILL working on MORE DEADLY pathogens. See Greg Hunter’s site Whatchdog.com and listen to patent editor Karen Kingston…THIS IS NO OVER BY A LONG SHOT.
Perhaps after we hang them for crimes against humanity we can see if God forgives them for mass murder.
The ONLY REASON they have not murdered the patriots in mass is because we outnumber them and are armed… and have millions of veterans like me willing and able to train up the rest of you.
If they steal this election, WE WILL ALL KNOW IT… and that cannot stand.

I agree. Reports from London and Boston of new killer Covid strains developed under gain of function testing. I still expect a kill shot of some kind to exploit the Vaids syndrome in the vaxed.

Amnesty. Yeah. And then we can put on a talent show to pay for all the harms done to Americans. It’ll be great!

Either her “creds” are fake, or she was totally disingenuous in the statements. Most everyone that bother to do any research at all, knew what was what, very quickly. Thus, for her makes the statement about being in the dark, is the evidence that her educational creds are a lie, or her statements are lies. Well, then there’s the forgive and forget thing, honey that just ain’t gonna happen, ya’ll done made your bed, now you’re gonna have to deal with the consequences. No, no forgetting and forgiving here, you will pay the price.

Her article raises some questions. Is it all about law? Many of these articles blind us to what is going on.
The world seems to be praising law, law, law, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty Follow, Follow, Follow Like, Like, Like.
Who are You following? Who do you fear?
There were a great many in the dark, there ‘are’ a great many still in the dark, on both sides of many of these “discussions.” Do you have any mercy, any forgiveness within you? Or are you letting the world beat that out of you?

Absolutely NOT an ounce of amnesty for these fucking assholes that pushed all of this vile shit and equally made mock of us smart enough to remain pureblood! Just HANG them already.

The last sentence from “Prof.” Oster’s plea bargain:
” Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward.”
Really? “Build back”? Move “forward”? In the same sentence? (Oh, aren’t “We” clever!).
Two pieces of leftist phraseology rattling around in her cranium, one from pResident Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ and the other from Rodham Clinton’s ‘Forward’ campaign?
Creepy!

Lifted from a meme this morning:

“They’re not asking for forgiveness. They’re publicly forgiving themselves.”

Millions of Americans who worshiped at the alter of the Majick Covid Spells, and/or the Majick Covid Rituals, and/or the Majick Covid Elixirs…

Should be on their knees asking God for forgiveness for their folly and foolishness.

But you just won’t admit it… because: But… but… we believed them!

Without you, they never would have gotten away with it.
