Vivek Murthy, the Surgeon General under Joe Biden, issued one of the most alarming and tyrannical proposals ever issued by any federal government official.  This proposal, which is intended to combat our nonexistent plague of loneliness and isolation, is the type of madness that would be all too common is North Korea, Communist China, or the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. 

Most of us have not heard of this insane proposal,  I would not have if it wasn’t for this article: To Address Loneliness, The Feds Want To Control Your Friends (thefederalist.com)

US. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently released an advisory titled “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.” It warns that social isolation is a major public health problem. The 81-page document presents six government-directed “pillars” of action to address the health hazards of social isolation.

On the surface, these six directives may look innocuous, but they present a clear and present danger to the autonomy of our private lives and relationships. The project is potentially so massive in scope that it’s not an overstatement to say it threatens to regulate our freedom of association in ways we never could have imagined.

This proposal is the most unconstitutional proclamation ever issued by any administration.  It turns the Constitution completely on its head,  reaching down to control aspects of life that no other administration ever dreamed of controlling. 

The Constitution does not grant the federal government the authority to regulate any aspect of life inside any state.  The federal government granted itself that authority when it grossly distorted the plain meaning of the Interstate Commerce Clause.  Look at how far this proposal strays from the original meaning of the Constitution.

The first stated goal is to “strengthen social infrastructure in local communities.” It defines “social infrastructure” as the regular events and institutions that make up community life, and says the federal government should both fund local organizations and direct how they’re structured, including their locations. This can only mean that all local communities must answer to the federal bureaucracy in the quest to strengthen social connections among people.

The advisory warns that participation is mandatory if the plan is to work: “It will take all of us — individuals, families, schools, and workplaces, health care and public health systems, technology companies, governments, faith organizations, and communities — working together…”

This next article, Feds Sketch Blueprint For Regulating Everyone’s Private Life (thefederalist.com), documents just how utterly tyrannical this proposal is.

The advisory foreshadows an unprecedented invasion of private spaces by the federal government that could completely undermine our most fundamental freedoms. If fully implemented, the project could place the federal government in de facto control of your local community and social associations of every kind. It also threatens to dictate what you can say, what values you should have, and what associations are acceptable. It seems poised to reinforce that control with surveillance.

The project also calls for mass compliance with leftist agenda items embedded within the report. Here’s a choice quote: “government has a responsibility to use its authority to monitor and mitigate the public health harm caused by policies, products and services that drive social disconnection. … Diversity, equity, inclusion, [DEI] and accessibility are critical components of any such strategy.” This can only result in the perpetuation of social hostilities and coercion inherent in DEI policies.

Stolen elections most definitely have the most negative consequences.  If this is actually implemented, there is no turning back.  Unfortunately I have no faith that the Republican Party will lift a single finger to fight this tyranny.
