The whole panel (16 judges) may well reimpose the stay shortly. After 3 were assigned to hear the case, the other 13 held a vote on whether the whole panel should hear the case right away. 8 of 13 said yes, indicating that the injunction should stay in place. 8 being only half of the total of 16, with 3 assigned panelists not voting, was not sufficient to bump it to the whole panel right away. The panel then decided 2-1 to dissolve the injunction. Thinking is that now you will have the 8 non panelists plus the one panelist all voting to reinstate the injunction next week.
"Raging pandemic" is a phrase that is used all over the place where I live- supposedly in the eye of the storm. Yet here we are in the midst of this biblical event and no bodies dropping anywhere and there have not been at any time. All time record low hospital bed usage for but one example that disproves this slogan. That's called ACTUAL DATA which anyone can look up.
The whole 800,000 is a complete fiction as you point out. The most malevolent part of this fiction is using that narrative actually covers up the fact that most of those who are placed into that death toll were murdered by state sanctioned policies that included, but were not limited to, isolation, abandonment, toxic drugs, ventilators, forced medication etc.
There were elderly folks for the most part who were not allowed to have anyone advocate for them. There is no way to overstate the cynicism in all of this.
The notion that there ever was a pandemic is routinely debunked simply by looking at the ages and comorbidities of those who get placed into that manufactured 800,000 figure. That those who died in this biblical pandemic were older than normal lifespans in every single country in the world tells you all you need to know. That on average they had 4-5 serious, life-threatening illnesses should alert anyone to the lie.
Virtually all of those included in that 800,000 figure would be dead by now regardless of any purported "viral event" though some would have lived a bit longer had the medical establishment not killed them.
Here's a quote from Zuby:
"Stop calling cruelty 'incompetence'. Some people simply cannot accept that malice is a real thing.
You can only give benefit of the doubt up to a point. What people are living through is not the result of simple 'incompetence'.
'Incompetence' assumes that everybody means well. But some people don't. Period. There are people who only care about their money, their power, their status, and their control over you.
They don't give a crap about you, your family, or your well being.
And the higher up the chain you go, the greater the % of people like this who you will encounter.
Just because you are kind, caring, and mean well, doesn't mean that everybody is like you.I know it's unpleasant to accept. But it's the truth."
This catifesto is spot on. Can’t let down our guard no matter what “good news” omicron brings. The billionaire-based build back better bobble heads will not stop their forward motion, even if Covid wanes—they are more committed and more protected than can be imagined. Covid is the given rationale for the hard lurch towards authoritarianism, but it’s not the real reason. We are being gas-lit. “Two Weeks” was simply the first play of the game. We’re barely through the first quarter. Brace up.
Despite the testing, the pandemic rages on! Despite refusal to arrest criminals, the wave of looting and burglary rages on! Despite printing $7 trillion of new money in nine months, inflation rages on! Despite halting border enforcement, illegal immigration chaos rages on! Despite teaching racist CRT in thousands of schools, racism rages on! Despite psychological mind-f*cking of young children in schools, gender dysphoria rages on! Despite cancel culture in social media, censorship rages on! Despite gaslighting about election fraud, voter anger rages on! Despite the DoJ and FBI investigating law-abiding parents frustrated with what is being taught in school, citizen frustration rages on! Despite congressional corruption, voter anger rages on!
I read the first page last night and spit out my drink. It was as if Klaus Schwab wrote it. It's disturbing how many institutions have been captured by ideology, evil and madness.
I hereby nominate Gato to SCOTUS. Seriously, how do these people sleep at night? Their tyranny is overt and they are strident in their diabolical objectives.
Relying upon a legal framework to protect us from government abuses, when the arbiters of judgment were appointed by said government, is folly. Many of us have been saying this for decades and simply smile and shake our heads (in a saddened sort of way) whenever people appear surprised and "outraged" that so many judges defer to government authority, justifying it with asinine and contradictory statements.
This case moving to the US Supreme Court is no slam-dunk either. There is every possibility for the Justices to "correct" the wording or underlying basis for the mandates as part of their ruling in favor (recall the two pivotal Obamacare cases where Justice Roberts did this, in contradiction to oral arguments and recorded legislative text).
One of the worst lies is, "the virus did this; the pandemic caused all this damage." No, you fuck, you did.
We can argue about numbers, and data, and statistics, and what the graphs mean. I get that many people are stupid and their truth sensor is miscalibrated. But this lie is plain malevolence, no matter who it comes from.
Uff you knocked it out of the park (and generally always do) but this is almost the perfect alchemical crystallisation of our current malaise:
“it was not “the pandemic” that shut down workplaces and the economy. it was “the pandemic response.” none of this needed to happen. had we literally done NOTHING, never noticed this, never named it, and never implemented a testing regimen so ill conceived and out of proportion as to be literally unique in the annals of all of human history, this would have passed barely remarked upon as “huh, that was a crummy flu year.” there would have been no economic damage. that was entirely self-inflicted, entirely avoidable, and known to be useless before we undertook it.“
EDIT: "they are not on your side. they probably never were." --> they were always AGAINST you, it's now just blatant and egregious; hence, you can better appreciate it. So appreciate it exactly for what it is: they hate you.
The ravings of a barking mad covidian cultist or a corrupt judge on the take. Since this is the US, I lean toward the latter. That bizarre opening seems to have been written by a whitehouse intern, not a sitting judge. Until proven otherwise, I just assume that Creepy Uncle Billy G., Little Tony “The Butcher of Bethesda” and the ghouls at Pfizer and Moderna are just making too much easy money to allow any of this to stop. So, a little digital deposit in an offshore account for Judge Jane (or just a nice new vacay house in Aspen or Some beachy place) is all it takes to get such an ridiculous opinion written.
We need some optimism in this thread, so here goes: Robert Barnes, whom I believe to be incredibly astute, and unfailingly accurate in his prognostications, has predicted that the 6th will now hear the OSHA cases en banc and will vote 9-8 to overturn the mandate in the near term (within one to two weeks.) As well as, that once it reaches the SCOTUS, despite bothe Kavanaugh and Coney Barret being corporatist statists, they will also vote to overturn the mandate.
What arrogance! An unelected Judge (and her other panel members apparently) believe there is a “new normal” so we throw the Constitution out of the window. Judge Englehardt’s 5th Circuit decision enjoining the OSHA mandate was superb. These hacks have reversed it just because they can. This case and the January 6 cases in DC have confirmed the opinions of many that much of the federal judiciary is not independent. Maybe SCOTUS can offer some redemption.
The inmates are running the asylum. We can't expect the criminally insane to behave rationally and logically. They want us all to be part of their lunatic fringe.

The Supreme Court sure did a great job with that election mess. I'm sure they'll fix this too.
lol. Just frightening we have the entirely feckless to rely on for the foundations of liberty and justice for all.
