... most emergency ordinances let cities and counties award no-bid, no-oversight contracts. That means mayors and county chairmen can ‘buy’ goods and services from whoever they want, since it’s an emergency, without needing any pre-approval or signoff from pesky, skeptical councils, commissions, or purchasing departments. It’s perfectly legal to hire your cousin at emergency rates for “traffic management consulting” or some similar undefined and unquantifiable service.

Basically, states of emergency smoothly bypass all the difficult, bureaucratic rules with all their due process and their safeguards and their checks and balances, which just gum up all the great stuff local officials really want to do. Need to do something unpopular? Declare an emergency. Need to do something fast? Declare an emergency. Have a deadlocked council? Declare an emergency.

It’s super simple! The best part is, when you think about it, anything can be an emergency. ...

A local declaration of emergency is literally a one-pager and only needs one signature. It’s so easy. So tempting. So lucrative.

So that’s what I think. I think all the eclipse states of emergency are really about graft and political opportunism. The good news is many states — like Florida — have already started reining in local emergency authorities. But much work remains. Local, local, local.

The past four years have made it extra super clear to me that our emotional responses are being continually manipulated, controlled, programmed, conditioned, and triggered by the powers that be* using every platform they own: “news,” movies, TV, advertising, social media. They manufacture false narratives (Russiagate). They lie (safe and effective). They stage manipulated events (creepy red sermon). They spin real events (all). They persecute (fire the unjabbed). They excommunicate (ban the unjabbed). They threaten (winter of death). They sic “influencers” on us (a million) and spin up anointed “heroes” (Trump) to tell us what to think and feel and whom to blame (never them). All of which is now fed to us by algorithms that keep us on the doom scroll.

The main emotion triggered by the relentless battery of BOMBSHELL tales? Fear. They want people scared AF all the time.

The “why?” has also become extra clear: It’s not just clickbait profits. As I’m sure you know, when you’re emotionally wound up, scared, outraged, angry, you don’t make good decisions. You don’t think critically. You don’t think of other options. You don’t question whether you’ve been tricked. People freeze. People panic.

And that specific conditioned emotional response will get you to make a decision that they want you to make and result in the outcome that they want.

Perpetuating a constant state of fear is the only way the cabal is able to manufacture consent for policies that are objectively antihuman — that cause great harm and serve only the people in power.

Declaring a fake “emergency” is the theatrical hand-wave gesture globalists have contrived to put believers into a fear state while conjuring a quasi-legal liability cover for their antihuman policies. Flashback to Jan. 31, 2020: one individual, U.S. HHS Sec’y Alex M. Azar II, “declared” an “emergency” that would authorize (among other abuses) the manufacture and distribution of DOD-made untested prototype EUA countermeasures they pretended were “vaccines.” The earliest suspected “covid”-related fatality was not until Feb. 6, 2020, per the NYTimes. What “emergency”?

So the globalists are trying to upsize that trick: give one individual in the whole world the power to declare fake real or perceived emergencies that trigger “platforms that swing into action automatically.”
