Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is warning citizens to avoid Fourth of July celebrations during the Covid-19 pandemic, yet is fully in support of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and was even pictured at one not wearing a mask.
"We're going to have to celebrate differently this year. Everyone should cancel plans with others for the 4th of July. You shouldn't gather with anyone who doesn't live in your household," Garcetti tweeted on Friday.He followed up on the actual holiday with multiple tweets doubling down on his warning.
"Happy Fourth. Please stay home and avoid gatherings with others. And don't forget your face covering," he wrote.
What makes the "save lives" sentiment behind the tweets sound hollow is the fact that Garcetti has supported people gathering in public for BLM protests. He's even celebrated them doing so."If you've been to a protest, thank you for making your voice heard and supporting the cause of racial justice," the mayor tweeted last month, telling demonstrators it's perfectly acceptable to gather in public as long as they quarantine themselves afterward and get tested for Covid-19.
The seeming hypocrisy has understandably earned Garcetti plenty of critics, many openly defying his order.
"Your request is denied due to Americans' liberty," actor and Los Angeles resident Adam Baldwin tweeted at the mayor.
To make matters worse, responses to Garcetti's tweets have included multiple pictures of himself at a Black Lives Matter protest, no face mask in sight.
Plenty of politicians have found themselves accused of not practicing what they preach during the Covid-19 pandemic, like New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio who fit in a trip to a public gym in March right before an order from the governor shutting such establishments down went through — meaning he would have known the "dangers" of doing so before going.
Like Garcetti, De Blasio and others have also shown support for BLM protests despite continually talking up the risk of public gatherings at the moment.
Comment: The blatant hypocrisy is stunning.
Miles Mathis explains it as well (or as poorly) as anyone.
Everything you see today, on the part of celebrity (people who make news, who seem relevant), is part of planned management campaign to control all of humanity, by a segment of humanity, who I think it is fair to say, are guided by Satan.
And it is 'working'. It is working great, eh?
And one of the reasons this planned management works so well and includes so many willful participants (or 'actors') is because people are unconscious, to a large, nay to an EXTREME degree, of anything they are actually doing and the inevitable results of that so-called 'doing'. They are stupid, beyond stupid actually. They are evil.
It is a hard row to hoe, to become aware of anything. It is so hard to not take a 'select and chosen for you' role in the pervading, modern and sophisticated lie.
It is so much easier to just believe (and to affirm that we are winning or somehow gaining ground and improving through this sanctioned 'belief').
The result of such widespread 'belief' (and participation, this 'will to win') is the current now almost completely totalitarian cult of technocracy, whereupon we maintain and worship technology and technologists as our god.
Which clearly, to a very few, is madness (a type of very dedicated sophistry) and always has been, because it is so very very VERY violent. As well as being a highly sophisticated and highly governed (and regulated) TOTAL LIE.
So where is the real God?
And his chidren, if any?
Hint: Think of freedom INSTEAD of winning, instead of improving
I encourage everyone to do their part and to try to be conscious.
Which isn't the same as living the current plan, the current trajectory, the current system of 'planned events'.
It is not the same as winning the war.
Not quite.
Not hardly.
Good luck.
You will need some.
Love your computer!
