Rochelle Walensky Is Chagrined that the "Despair" of the Pandemic is Fading, Because Despair is a Useful Emotion for The Regime's Mind-Controllers to Exploit

Wow.

Wow.

From a guest essay in The Regime's slam-diary, the New York Times:

Note that this isn't an unguarded spontaneous utterance. This isn't a "Biden Stutter." This is a written statement -- she had weeks to ponder what she wanted to say, and then make sure she said it properly.

And she wants the nation in despair, for a despairing people are a compliant, easily-bullied people.

Via David Strom, who notes:

Despair of course was one of the most powerful tools the Elite had to immobilize us and shut down society. They did everything they could to reinforce the notion that we are powerless in the face of disease, and that only the Establishment could save us.
They demanded sacrifices, symbolic acts, obeisance, and the turning over of our bodies for the satisfaction of the COVID gods, of whom the Elite were the representatives. Their decisions were often arbitrary, but complete obedience was demanded.
And this, Walensky warns, is just the warm up. There is more to come, and we need to live in fear and yes...despair.
...
See? The world is constantly trying to kill you, and you need Walensky and company to protect you.
Embrace your powerlessness and despair. They are the only things that will save you from yourselves!

Very much related to Rochelle's Agenda of Despair:

The House Coronavirus Subcommittee demands the phone records of Randi Weingarten, the childless hag who fought so hard to keep schools closed during the pandemic, and who lobbied Rochelle Walensky to change the guidelines for reopening to keep schools closed.

he House Coronavirus Pandemic Subcommittee on Wednesday demanded for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to hand over phone records of conversations between Director Rochelle Walensky and American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten.
Committee Chairman Brad Wenstrup, an Ohio Republican, expressed his concerns about "potential political interference" in a letter to Walensky asking for the records after Weingarten told Congress she had the CDC head's direct phone number.
Earlier this month, messages obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request from the Fairfax County Parents Association showed that Walensky had a friendly relationship with Weingarten and National Education Association President Becky Pringle. Weingarten's and Pringle's unions together have about 4.7 million members.
"The Department of Health and Human Services is continuing its pattern of obstructing Congress by apparently only producing documents already made publicly available via the FOIA. As a reminder, FOIA does not apply to Congress," Wenstrup wrote in his letter Wednesday. "The Department's obstruction will not be tolerated. The American people deserve transparency."

And how did the Despair Agenda work as far as children's education outcomes?

It worked exactly as designed.

American students' test scores in math and reading got significantly worse last year -- continuing a decade-long freefall.
Driving the news: The decline in math scores last year was the biggest in the past 50 years, according to newly released federal data.
Details: The findings come from a test known as "The Nation's Report Card" -- a continuous, national assessment of 13-year-old students. Results were distributed by the National Center for Education Statistics, a branch of the Education Department.
By the numbers: Math and reading scores began declining in 2012, and average scores are now lower than they were before the pandemic.
The average math score for 13 year olds declined 9 points between the 2019-20 and 2022-23 school years.
The average reading score for 13 year olds declined 4 points between the 2019-20 and 2022-23 school years.
About 8,700 students took the assessments at about 460 schools across the country.
The lowest-performing students scored at levels last recorded in the 1970s, when the assessment began.
Scores declined among all racial and ethnic groups, and among both male and female students, and across urban, suburban and rural areas.
...
What they're saying: Post-pandemic academic recovery should be addressed holistically, including students' mental health, basic skills and teacher absenteeism, said Peggy Carr, the associate commissioner for assessment for the National Center for Education Statistics.
"Students' basic skills were disrupted in a way that we would not have thought before," Carr said. "These data are clear on that point."

But fat-assed uneducated teachers got to "teach class" on zoom calls from Cabo, and that's the important thing.

Meanwhile, the youngest generation will be the stupidest and most timid generation that America has ever produced, and reliant upon The Regime for welfare, pot, anti-depressants, and orgy-porgy.

Atreyu: But why is Fantasia dying, then?

G'mork: Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the Nothing grows stronger.

Atreyu: What is the Nothing?

G'mork: It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.

Atreyu: But why?

G'mork: Because people who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control . . . has the power.

75 There's a reason why throughout the Bible, every time God or one of His representatives shows up to tell someone something, they start with, "Do not fear." Because fear is a universal human language. It prevents clear-headedness. It stymies useful interaction. It replaces thoughtful listening and good judgment. And it sends people into flight/fight mode.

Not coincidentally, governments and authoritarians the world over stoke fear into order to implement their plans.

This in itself is a tell. To her, people are not individuals, and they are not property. To her people are livestock, to be driven, directed, and processed. She is one in a long line of public service intellectuals who view the world not as something to be exploited, because livestock cannot be exploited, but harvested.
One hundred years ago she would have been all in on forced vaccinations and eugenics to improve the stock.

If they can't kill us off with bio-engineered viruses, vaccines and a life of despair they'll just wait until the current elementary school nitwits, alphabet people, illegals and the insane are all that's left to lord over.

Phase II is movement of government services from roads, bridges, and public infrastructure to payments to individuals to sustain their lives.
Phase III is movement (actually removal) of safety and security measures from the laws and court to corrupt lawlessness.

WB didn't want to pay for both parts, but Villeneuve didn't want to squish it all into one movie. So, they agreed to greenlight the second if the first was successful financially enough.

Ironically, I think the pandemic response helped because it so lowered expectations that the result Dune 1 did have ($400 million off of a $165 million budget, which is honestly not very good) that WB was just happy enough. HBO Max numbers must have been really good, too.

We're seeing brainwashing in real life. They know the "vaccine" didn't stop the virus. They know "fully vaccinated" people still spread the virus. Doesn't matter. They still parrot the claims.

I watched that Hotez guy on Joe Rogan. Joe was gently asking him about his personal health habits. Hotez admitted he eats like crap, has zero self discipline, etc. Rogan asked him if he at least takes vitamins and Hotez' social programming popped right out of the box. He immediately goes into the talking point that you don't need vitamins if you're eating a proper diet. It doesn't matter that Hotez literally five seconds earlier admitted he eats like crap and has no self-discipline. It doesn't matter that Hotez isn't satisfying the IF condition of the IF THEN statement he's parroting. As soon as the question of vitamins come up, his programming takes over.

155 The European-origin principal of my sons' HS spoke at graduation and, remarking how good it was to have everyone back together, drew the point that "this should settle for all time that the idea of rugged individualism is dead and buried." She actually used "dead and buried."

All the insight of an abused wife who draws the lesson "this should teach us all to keep the house clean and have dinner ready on time."

I watched that Hotez guy on Joe Rogan. Joe was gently asking him about his personal health habits. Hotez admitted he eats like crap, has zero self discipline, etc. Rogan asked him if he at least takes vitamins and Hotez' social programming popped right out of the box. He immediately goes into the talking point that you don't need vitamins if you're eating a proper diet. It doesn't matter that Hotez literally five seconds earlier admitted he eats like crap and has no self-discipline.

It is a pity that Rogan's staff does not have a supply of dog collars with the word "OWNED" engraved thereon and so could have stepped into the room and fitted Hotez for his at that moment.

At a very fundamental level, brainwashing is forcing a person into a position of outsourcing all understanding and moral decisions into a third party, generally the brain washer or cult, or program.

240 By June of 2020, Covid was a non entity where I lived. Everything was open and 75% of the population lolgfed at masks. And because of this peeps from neighboring states that were under full lockdown came over to party. It was the busiest summer I can recall. Bars overflowing with people every night of the week, restaurants were full, stores were packed, concerts, you name it.

And weirdly enough, we all didn’t die.

You're probably not aware of the context, or the fact that she's a devout, practicing Jew.

It was biting and harsh, and it was a statement about how "everyone knows" the 2020 election wasn't stolen. Just like "everyone knows" Jews didn't die in the Holocaust.

You don't have to think it was funny, but it was a clearly pointed statement about how speech is controlled in this country.

360 >>>Meanwhile, the youngest generation will be the stupidest and most timid generation that America has ever produced, and reliant upon The Regime for welfare, pot, anti-depressants, and orgy-porgy.

Libs of TikTok tweeted a doctor that pointed out that hormone blockers, besides blocking puberty, also block the development of the hypothalamus. It's the part of our brain that develops a sensitivity to beauty and the divine. The part of us that sees a beautiful sunset or hears a stirring piece of music, and stops to absorb it in awe. He says that if he were looking for "the divine spark" in a person, it might reside there.

So our elites are potentially building a generation that is feeble minded and uneducated, weak willed and leaning towards authoritarianism, and has had the spark of artistic sensitivity and the divine stamped out of them. This will end well.

(Taxpayer shakedown)

By the time they returned, ducks were in order to claim the majority of children had mental health issues, couldn't learn, needed special Ed or sexual 'guidance.'

this isn't surprising, because we've got a big hole in the law in this country. Generally, when an employee performs a job horribly he can be fired and face work sanctions, but the one held legally responsible is the one who hired him. (which means for government employees, no one is ever held responsible) The only way around this is if the prosecution can prove that the employee in question deliberately and intentionally caused the harm. (almost impossible to prove when the defendant was reacting to someone else's actions)
