California: where politicians consider criminals their base and ordinary citizens their enemy
Three stories (two from today and one from two days ago) illustrate starkly the fascist mentality of California Democrats, clearly more interested in giving criminals as much freedom as possible while restricting the freedoms of ordinary law-abiding citizens.
- Kamala Harris wants ‘low-risk’ inmates released amid fears of COVID-19 spreading in prisons
- Bay Area counties announce ‘shelter in place’ rules
- San Jose Shuts Down Gun Shop in First Action Against ‘Non-essential’ Businesses
The first story is especially grotesque. Senator Harris (D-California) wants to release criminals into the general population, even though these individuals cannot generally be relied upon to follow any quarantine restrictions. In prison however they are in the perfect quarantine, easily isolated from others.
Harris however is horrified by this. As she writes,
[The Federal Bureau of Prisons] is responding to the threat of coronavirus with extreme measures that both maintain current levels of incarceration and penalize the incarcerated community— including by suspending social and legal visitation, suspending inmate facility transfers, and potentially locking down institutions.
O the horror! We must release these individuals immediately, since restricting their freedom is so against what America stands for!
Meanwhile, the second story illustrates how California politicians have no problem imposing these same restrictions on innocent citizens. While Harris wants to release criminals, San Francisco politicians have imprisoned every citizen in these counties, while shutting down numerous businesses at great cost to their owners.
And the third story reveals the hidden fascist reasons for these actions in California. Because a flu-like virus might someday infect a lot of people, San Jose officials decide they have to shut down a gun shop.
Makes sense to me. We can’t have those evil Wuhan viruses buying guns, can we?
The goal of Democratic politicians in California (and elsewhere) isn’t to stop the virus. Their goal is to establish a totalitarian state, with them in power. This epidemic is only making this fascist desire more obvious.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

And she will likely be our VP … crap
No she will likely be your President if Joe wins because the Demonrats will remove him shortly after taking office.
Kamala Harris is unlikely to be Joes vp candidate, she is more of a loose cannon liability IMO.
More likely Klobuchar, or maybe Michelle?
Probably Klobuchar.
” . . . penalize the incarcerated community . . . ”
Isn’t the ‘incarcerated community’ there because they’re being, uh, penalized? The mind reels. Statements like this assure me the speaker is so far inside their own head they’ve lost touch with reality.

“Born and raised by those who praise, control of population,
Everybody’s been there, and I don’t mean on vacation…”
Blair, the purpose of the modern jail is to rehabilitate the inmates, not to punish them. that’s why they get things like college paid by taxpayers who have to go into debt to send their own children to school. After, we in society as a whole are guilty of creating an environment that compels them to commit criminal acts. Here’s what shows the mindset, I bet it’s the “Department of Corrections” instead of “Department of Prisons”….I just checked, it’s “California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation”. QED
When does the horrid racist caste indian get “wet”? Anyone????
Hummmm. I thought that all of the “low risk” criminals were already out on the streets, given these cities’ new non-enforcement policies.
As for the psychological origin of Senator Harris’ “concern” for the incarcerated, Victor Davis Hanson has written about this in recent months, and his characterization of the elites’ infatuation with “the romantic poor” — as opposed to the boringly self-supporting middle class — is a revelation for anyone who has not deeply imbibed the woke Kool-Aid:

Going much further back, the late John W. Campbell described essentially the same neurosis in his essay, Hyperinfracaniphilia, published in 1965. The original essay can be found in the archive collection at

Please note that Mr. Campbell — and the award that bore his name — has been “canceled” because of his “racism,” so he can no longer be spoken about in polite society. As the saying goes, you may not be interested in woke culture, but woke culture is interested in *you*.

Col Beausabre: Thank you for the correction. I now understand that the ‘incarcerated community’ is made up of individuals selected by the State for rehabilitation into useful and productive citizens. Work your State-protected job, obey officials, vote Democrat. Got it.
