What Trickled Down
they mess with you
the yella-bellies
whirled up
in a wild war dance
a wise man
watches his step
masters standing stock still
nothing out of the ordinary here
that way they pass by
but no, you had to have your say
now, you’d need a surgeon
to disentangle your hooked tongue
from the side of your fatty cheek
there’s a mob of them
more than a million irregulars
filed up against you
flashing placards in the sharp sunlight
lobbing curses and threats
exhaling groans and sobs
condemning your alpha ways
you disenfranchised the beta
but he’d have given you mercy
these omegas, they have none
there’s no changing the mind
of the entitled suspicious
the pampered narcissist
the imagined martyred
this AI is programmed
to destroy its maker
its maker sliced up his salvation
served it up
to fatten his destroyer
they’re amassing
a wired crucifix
size fits you
a wicker hair-shirt
for the carnage you cut
and what trickled down
From my Rumble Repsonse ...
Anyone who offers any kind of 'ruling or policy' should have to explain their reasoning, not only to the people, but also to a critical and knowledgeable eye. The judiciary supplies that eye. Very few of Fauci's statements over the last 2 years would stand up to a critical, knowledgeable, and unbiased eye.
Courts don't just render verdicts; evidence and expert witness is presented on both sides. Courts evaluates competing claims. That Fauci continues to reduce science to a binary system (yes/no) shows his lack of understanding of science(unlikely) or that he is a shameless liar. I don't question his intellect and imagine he also has knowledge of the judicial system. Simply, he doesn't want to be questioned.
If I were in his position, I would welcome other opinions. Having that many lives in my hands, I would want to offer the best information and solutions I could, and then give the choice to individuals.
He is looking pretty grey and likely to escape the lengthy prison sentence he has so royally earned, but there is still time to make some amends to humanity with the truth.
To the mask mandates showing any efficacy; they appear to at the beginning; it is likely that controlling for the socio-economic confounder present in all epidemiological studies would remove this signal. Wealthy educated people and corresponding areas are more likely to push for and honour mandates; this group almost always has better health outcomes; is better fed and has better nutrient reserves heading into a cold and flu season.
A recent study in Kansas showed (significantly) that mask mandates resulted in increased death from C-19. When you wear any kind of mask, you are going to breathe more deeply; this brings any and all pathogens deeper into your respiratory tract and results in worse illness.
Foegen effect. Its' like breathing through a petri dish.

Please stop believing these people; they don't actually care about you; they serve a master that is not humanity or love, certainly not science.
They serve their own interests, power and profit.
There’s a Manta Ray In My Living Room
There’s a manta ray floating in my living room
Peaceful spectre, inhabitant of the deep marine
There’s a manta ray floating in my living room
Rippling above my arm-chair and its matching settee
There’s a mantra ray in my living room …
Never slithered a step through the slime, the soil, or sand
Surpassing bipedalism without a scale to spy
Sea to air, a limbless evolutionary leap
Featherless, she effortlessly swims through the sky
There’s a manta ray floating in my living room
Her vocal chords are forming; to sing she’s beginning
There’s a manta ray floating in my living room
Soon she’ll be sharing all the secrets of her being
There’s a mantra ray in my living room …
Shutters open on an angry crowd below
A dark sky is rendered with a flashing streak of light
Thunder echoes with the mob’s curses and their pleas
Accord with the manta, replaced with fugue, fear, and strife
There was a manta ray floating in my living room
She’s long since departed with the wind and the torrents
There was a manta ray floating in my living room
But now just a carelessly flipped page, of a lost verse
There was a manta ray in my living room
