The issue within the DOJ filing an appeal to force U.S. airlines to reinstate the masks for air travel has nothing to do with public safety or benefits of mask wearing on airlines. The core issue is raw government power.
At the same time as the European Union has lifted all mask wearing restrictions for airline travel, Joe Biden is filing an appeal with the eleventh circuit court of appeals (Tampa, Florida) to overturn a judge’s ruling that lifted the mask mandate for airlines. The extreme leftists within the Biden administration want to retain the power over people as an essential element within their larger agenda.
Freedom and self-determination are antithetical to the Build Back Better agenda, which necessarily includes the power of the federal government to make unilateral decisions that impact the lives of the people beneath it. The airline mask mandate is just one small visual demonstration of the power of government over the people.
The need for raw power and forced edicts is why Biden cannot allow his fiats to be ignored.
WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice has appealed a federal judge’s ruling that vacated the federal mask mandate for public transportation.
A filing was made Tuesday, hours before the deadline and more than a month after the DOJ said it had filed a notice of appeal following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying it was requesting the challenge.
Several airlines and other sources of public transportation dropped their masking rules after U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, Florida, vacated the federal mask mandate in April. The mandate, instituted as a means to stop the spread of COVID-19, had been set to expire May 3 after it was extended by the Biden administration.
[…] The appeal seeks to reverse the ruling from a lawsuit filed by the Health Freedom Defense Fund, a nonprofit legal organization that specializes in healthcare cases. In its lawsuit, the fund argued that the CDC overstepped its authority by enacting the mask mandate “without any public comment, or serious scientific justification.” (read more)
The people behind the Biden administration are operating on an agenda that is entirely hidden by the willful compliance of a corporate media apparatus. Almost everything associated with the Biden agenda to fundamentally transform the U.S, requires everyone to pretend the agenda is something else.
What they are doing is extremely dangerous. However, it is the national pretending that is really killing us.
The facemasks are just one small sub-set of an example.
What is absent in the farce news media is the non reporting of any actual Covid cases from the flying public who are on thousands of flights a day since the mandate was lifted….
Mask mandates are abhorrent. Besides being scientifically proven not to work, they are an infringement on personal liberty.
The argument that mask mandates violate personal liberty is a more compelling argument against them than their scientific merit.
Arguing against mask mandates on the basis of scientific merit assumes that someone’s interpretation of the “science” could be used as a legitimate excuse to issue a liberty infringing mask mandate while nothing could be further from the truth.
Our rights are inalienable and cannot be infringed upon based on someone’s interpretation of the science.
As British Rabbi Jonathan Sacks said:
“Science will explain how but not why. It talks about what is, not what ought to be. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive; it can tell us about causes but it cannot tell us about purposes. Indeed, science disavows purposes.”
In other words, science only tells us what is. It doesn’t tell us what policies to implement. Mask, vaccine, and other mandates are the result of political science, not actual science.
Science isn’t some omnipotent, invisible force that tyrants can summon to strip away the liberty of others. It is simply a tool that allows us to learn about our world through critical and impartial observation.
