The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new ban will apply to "counties experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels" of Covid-19 and will last until Oct. 3, the agency said.
Comment: No counties are experiencing such, of course, because there is no 'pandemic' with 'overflowing hospitals and morgues'. And yet the CDC, using the 'gift that keeps on giving', has abrogated to itself the power to issue federal mandates governing what all landlords can and cannot do.
President Joe Biden had earlier Tuesday teased the announcement to reporters while cautioning that "any call for a moratorium based on the Supreme Court's recent decision is likely to face obstacles."
Comment: Madness. The US president can't stop the CDC. And neither can the Supreme Court!
The announcement comes after a dayslong standoff with Congress in which Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats, along with progressives led by Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, waged an intense public campaign to goad the White House into action.
Comment: Here's a summary of the CDC's 'decree': Given how they fiddle the numbers to show apparent 'surges' at events, counties, and states that are concurrently under pressure for political reasons, it's not hard to see how this is a power-grab under the guise of 'science' and 'public health emergency'.
While we sympathize with tenants and home-owners behind on their payments due to the government lockdowns cratering the economy, make no mistake that the DARPA-connected quasi-military CDC organization is using 'rent relief' as a cause celebre for a major power grab.
They're not in this for rent relief; they're in this to use people's suffering against them, making them do things they wouldn't ordinarily do.
