Entry #1
In these unprecedented times, I am going to record my life under quarantine for historical purposes. Currently, the government has issued a "shelter in place" to all residents of the Bay Area. Only essential services will be open and all residents are ordered to remain inside without physical contact to people outside of their residencies. Tonight is day one of lockdown. I have prepared by purchasing 296 ounces of beer and two bags of chips.The market today was not as busy as I would've expected and the line was only about 4 people. The man working the register would not sell pallets of water or full packs of toilet paper because he "wants to make sure everyone could get some." I told him I respected that. From what I saw though, the Safeway's were madhouses. My friend actually had his tire slashed while stocking up on supplies. He was very angry with "people acting like it's the fucking purge."
It is interesting to see how quickly society can unravel. I can't even imagine what would happen if this virus was deadlier. I am versing myself in many theories about the ulterior motives behind this virus. Was it human engineered? How are the global banking elites using this to scapegoat economic failure? Are we being conditioned for martial law? What is the deep state's endgame? Why haven't I seen any firsthand accounts of people with the virus? This question is the most interesting. No accounts on any social media sites anywhere. I haven't even seen a single person claim that they know somebody who has the virus...What it feels like right now is the government seeing how many rights and freedoms we can diminish by our own hand. The fear is being manipulated and exacerbated to make the populace more compliant. Is it a matter of time until the national guard starts rolling in? Or is this just a test run to see how easy the government will have it when the hammer of authoritarianism strikes?...
There are many important questions to ask yourself. In reality though, the first thing that people will ask is, "how can I protect myself and my family?" It easy not to care about whatever boogeyman is trying to impede on your rights when your loved ones are in danger. I blame no one because of this fact.
Remember the widespread fear and panic after 9/11? I was barely alive during that time but I've read testimonies and seen the laws that they passed. The Authorization for Use of Military Force, Patriot Act, invasion of Iraq—I don't think the government would have had such an easy time with their unconstitutional surveillance and war mongering without an American panic. Right now it looks as if the government is trying to end data encryption under the guise of catching online pedophiles. Check out the Earn It Act.
Now, it will be interesting to see how this develops. Later I will explore what martial law is and how it can happen. I will keep you informed. THE TRUTH SERUM!!!!
