Four years ago, in March 2020, a significant event happened that many people view as a major violation of human rights in American history. President Trump introduced guidelines that suggested closing schools, businesses, and churches to slow the spread of a virus. This was the first time a U.S. president suggested that the government could shut down parts of the economy, and it led to a lot of debates and concerns.
During this time, people saw government officials and health experts talk about closing or opening the economy as if it was a simple decision. Law enforcement was even used to enforce these new rules, which affected business owners, churchgoers, and everyday people trying to live their lives.
Many Americans who value human rights and personal freedom felt powerless and disappointed by the lack of support from the courts and elected officials. It seemed like there were no limits to the government’s power in this situation. This experience showed many people that during emergencies, the real power lies with a small group of officials, experts, and bureaucrats who make big decisions without much input from the public or elected lawmakers.
This isn’t a new problem. Some experts have long argued that in times of crisis, the government tends to overstep its bounds, ignoring the limits set by the constitution. They believe that real political power comes down to the decisions made by a few people in charge, not the laws written down on paper.
The response to the situation in 2020 was largely the same across different parts of the government, with very little opposition from within the system. Most of the resistance came from regular people who felt the government’s actions were too extreme. Eventually, some changes were made, but it took a lot of pushback from the public.
The government’s power to control the economy and people’s lives was greatly expanded during this time, and many of these new powers are likely to remain for future emergencies. The situation showed that in times of crisis, the government can justify almost anything, and the public’s acceptance of these actions plays a big role in how far the government can go.
In the end, it was the people who stood up and said “no” to more government control who made a difference. The experience taught us that political power is limited not by laws or constitutions, but by the people’s willingness to stand up for their rights and freedoms.
- The shadow government‘s grip on America is undeniable, holding us hostage to their hidden agendas and clandestine actions. It’s time to break free from their control and reclaim our republic.
