Over the past week we’ve made repeated references to Ruling Class and Deep State preparations to steer Election 2024 toward their desired outcome. That outcome, of course, is the selection of an occupant for the Oval Office who would be responsive to direction by the Ruling Elite. Part of those preparations has involved attempts to prepare the American public for the institution of the Covid Regime 2.0—mandates affecting the behavior of the “little people”, that would translate into increased opportunities for electoral fraud, a la 2020. Thus, the MSM has been trumpeting the arrival of the latest Covid variant—BS-24/7. Colleges have begun instituting mask mandates, some colleges have even refused to allow purebloods to return to campus—injection mandates. Most recently several of the largest health care providers in the country—naturally, located in Blue areas—instituted mask mandates. It is now well documented in scientific studies that masks make no difference to transmission, which is strong circumstantial evidence that it’s politics, not informed public health policy, that’s driving this.
Now comes the encouraging news. These measures are encountering pushback from the “little people.” At least some institutions have felt compelled to roll back their new mandates, only days after announcing them, usually with the claim that they were somehow misunderstood:
Kaiser Permanente in Santa Rosa, California, on Aug. 24 reversed a recent policy that would require masks in its hospital after it reinstated the mandate days before. A Hollywood studio also said it would do away with its mandate.
Officials for the hospital system told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that the mask policy applies only to staff, not patients. It said that it is “strongly encouraging masks for patients, members, and visitors in the hospital and medical offices in the Santa Rosa Service Area in response to this latest increase in COVID-19 cases.”
…
It doesn't appear that Kaiser Permanente, which operates hospitals across the United States and California, would also attempt to reinstate mask mandates at other locations.
Some locals appeared to get what’s going on:
"They told us a bunch of [expletive]," Richard Staudinger, a North Sacramento resident, told CBS. "I think most of the people don't believe it now."
Another, Craig Roberts, said, "I think it's more political than anything, just think they're trying to do what they did in 2020."
At a guess, I’d say that the film studio in question was probably responding to employee pushback, since the film studio probably don’t get anything like the foot traffic that a hospital does. Despite a memo to all employees mandating masks, the studio tried to deny any change:
Meanwhile, the Lionsgate film studio in Santa Monica also said it would not be implementing a mask mandate, days after the media company said it would force workers to put on masks again on certain floors. It claimed that it never changed its mask policy.
Doctors also may be catching on to the political nature of all this:
Earlier in the month, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that COVID-19 hospitalizations rose across the country. Hospitalizations rose by 21.6 percent, to 12,612 new admissions from 10,370, according to the data ending Aug. 12.
Despite the increase, it’s among the lowest levels of hospitalization recorded since the start of the pandemic in early 2020.
“An upswing is not a surge; it’s not even a wave,” Dr. Shira Doron, the chief infection control officer for Tufts Medicine, told ABC News. “What we’re seeing is a very gradual and small upward trajectory of cases and hospitalizations, without deaths really going along, which is great news.”
At the same time, several hospitals, including some in upstate New York, and Morris Brown College in Atlanta reimplemented mask mandates, prompting concerns about a broader effort to force masks on people, three years after the start of the pandemic in the United States. Media coverage around the small increase in COVID-19 cases has also focused on whether masks should be worn, with mainstream outlets such as CNN interviewing doctors who say people should start wearing them again.
Dem politicians with presidential aspirations appear to be observing closely. In IL Pritzker, the governor, actually conducted what looks like a preemptive strike on the very idea of mandates—injections, masks, whatever:
Pritzker doesn't expect new mandates with updated COVID-19 vaccine on horizon
While the White House expects a new vaccine for the latest COVID-19 variant to come out sometime next month, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker doesn't expect more COVID-19 mandates.
...
Illinois, according to the CDC, is still a low transmission state. At an unrelated event Monday in Litchfield, Gov. J.B. Pritzker was asked if he’ll mandate a new vaccine for some state employees.
“The Facebook fakery about some kind of coming mandate, nobody has even talked about that. That’s not a real thing,” Pritzker said. …
Pritzker mandated COVID-19 vaccines for many positions, including school staff and college students and state employees in congregate settings, during the COVID-19 pandemic in his first term.
...
Pritzker said despite what people read online, there is no discussion of bringing back certain mandates such as school closures or mask mandates as was the case more than three years ago at the onset of the pandemic.
This looks to me like a clear sign that polling is telling the Dems that mandates of almost any sort will be big losers for them. Who really thinks that people will be rushing out to get shot up or to stock up on masks—even in Deep Blue Illinois?
So the positives are that all signs indicate We the People have wised up to the Covid Hoax. Further, the Ruling Class will need some other hoax to enable election fraud. Finally, there is still time to do something about election fraud. Polling shows that people are on to that, too, and there’s a bit more good news on that front—challenges to 2020 have not simply gone away:
Judge Rules Kari Lake Lawsuit Seeking Mail-In Ballot Signatures Will Go To Trial
I don’t doubt that the SCOTUS—which never ruled on the substance of any election challenges—has been watching all this closely. I don’t say the game has changed, but all this—especially the fact that the public is showing definite signs of waking up to at least the Big Picture of What’s Been Going On, and of being fed up—is certainly encouraging.
The other thing about life in Blue America (LA edition) that people notice …

This may be an overall positive, too. This stuff is probably more closely tied in the public consciousness to the Red - Blue divide than foreign policy, corruption, or Covid.

So maybe you can fix stupid?
Something to try and be pro-actively ready for regarding the 2024 election: a strategy in which the Dems lose, and suddenly embrace and drive all manner of election fraud challenges. If Uniparty corruptocrats go along (easy-peasey), we could see a royal (pardon the mixed metaphor) constitutional crisis as DAs and Attorneys General and Judges and Secretaries of State and Governors suddenly find there *is* standing to bring challenges and not certify results. I could even see the turtle of the SCOTUS, Chief Justice John Roberts, finally stick his neck out and agree there is something to see here - via remand to a lower court. Could tie things up until mid-terms, no?
And those calling for Republicans to ballot harvest should be very cautious - where explicitly illegal (oh heck, does that even matter anymore?), expect our two-tiered JustUs system to once again hammer asymmetrically. Would be pleased if the lawyers in our MiH community would give feedback on this notion.
