If you want to see the underhanded, manipulative nature of the Covid alarmists and their masking mandates, one need look no further than St. Louis County, Mo.

On Friday the St. Louis County Council approved a measure to bring mask mandates back.

This is interesting for a number of reasons.

First, two black Council members who had previously opposed the gag order flipped and voted for it. It was clear they had their arms twisted by His Imperial Magesty Dr. Sam Page, St. Louis County Executive. But two Republicans on the Council who had been adamant about rejecting the mandate voted present, thus handing the victory to Page and the Gaggers.

Now why did they do that?

Well, because this order supposedly is, uh, VOLUNTARY!

That's right; they are saying this doesn't have the force of law compelling people to wear the masks.

So why did they bother?

It's clear what they are doing. First off, they are saying masking is the law but it is not compulsory, which means it IS compulsory except they are saying it's not to trick the public. Businesses will no doubt be ruined if they do not enforce a mandate.

Second, they are trying to skirt a judicial order blocking the STL County Council from imposing such a mandate.

And the State of Missouri restricts this as well.

In other words, it's a mandate but they aren't calling it one.

This is smarmy.

And the Council held their meeting on a Friday afternoon, to keep the public opposition down. At past meetings (held in the evening) large numbers of opponents, many quite vocal, showed up and protested. This meeting was nearly empty, with Council members about equal to the number of attendees.

So basically the rammed it through quickly and in secret.

And St. Louis City will abide by whatever St. Louis County decides. Mayor Tishuara "Sticky Fingers" Jones has said as much.

Until the People stand up and the politicians representing us grow a spine America will continue this long, horrible slide into banana republicanism. We all need to refuse to wear these mini-burkhas and tell any business exactly why we aren't coming in.

I am mindful of the sixties protest song by Crosby, Stills, and Nash and Young:

So your brother's bound and gagged and they've chained him to a chair Won't you please come to Chicago  St. Louis just to sing In a land that's known as freedom how can such a thing be fair...
