On Tuesday March 2 — otherwise known as Texas Independence Day, when Lone Star flags decorate staves everywhere, honoring Texas’ successful struggle in 1836 for freedom from Mexico — Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was letting life return to normal.

Specifically, Abbott ordered an end to restrictions, after Wednesday March 10, on the right of businesses to define the conditions of interaction with customers. Any business now can decide how it wants to operate. Less substantively but more important in the symbolic sense, he said he was lifting the state-imposed requirement to wear a face-mask in public. Businesses can still require masks, but who wants to be the only shop in town policing facial appearance? Abbott cited the falling rate of coronavirus spread and lauded the widespread availability of vaccines. ‘People and business,’ the governor said, ‘don’t need the state telling them how to operate.’

Oh, yes, they do!, plenteous Democratic party figures and health officials shouted. ...

Immediately upon Abbott’s March 2 announcement neighboring Louisiana announced major loosening of its restrictions, and nearby Mississippi declared itself open for business. The loosening goes on even in Massachusetts, where Gov. Charlie Baker has opened restaurants to full capacity. Montana and Iowa have abolished face-mask requirements. This unmasking business has legs, whether the experts like it or not.


On the one hand, it was part of the conspirators' plan all along to miraculously end the "pandemic" as soon as Trump was removed, and lo and behold, "cases" started dropping literally the moment that Biden was sworn in, with obviously corrupt help from the WHO's changing "standards".

On the other hand, governments never like to give up emergency powers to squash free speech and freedom of association. All they really care about is their own power and how it can be used to funnel public money to their ultra-rich owners.

Recently read how the fall of the USSR was unprecedented in history because there was no revolution, the government just seemed to concede power. Reason, it wasn't about ending Communism, just about disguising it under the guise of socialist democracy. This was so banks could loan to Russia and Eastern Europe without the uproar of supporting Communism, despite the fact that most of the players in Russia have stayed in power.

Communist apparatchiks who ran the country before fall of USSR figured out that they will make more money under that "capitalist" thing. After USSR fell, it was run by the same people, so, as they say, the brothel name was changed but the madams and whores were the same. Yeltsin was a high ranking communist apparatchik, Nazarbayev (Kazakhstan) also ruled before and after break-up, this basically repeated itself in nearly all republics. In a few where it was not as obvious (Baltics, used as a laundromat for Russian money), if you look closer, the frontmen were new, but right behind them were former Communist bosses. A few devout or too well-informed communists such as Boris Pugo killed themselves by various means inclusding shooting themselves in back of head a few times. Nikolai Kruchina, the CPSU’s financial manager who was close to Mikhail Gorbachev, fell out of his window and died. His predecessor, Georgy Pavlov, who had been running the Party’s business for 18 years, followed Kruchina’s fate a month later. The third banker, Dmitry Lisovolik, who headed the American sector of the international department of the Communist Party’s Central Committee and who was also closely involved with cash flows, also fell out of his window several days later. No one can find communist party tens of billions as a consequence.

I don't think this involves conspiracies outside USSR.

About Texas, if we are kinda cynical, we would say that Abbott axed mask mandate only after he got 0.0 votes in CPAC...and after his approval numbers among conservatives cratered. Nothing to do with caring about businesses and being brave, just usual politics. Better late than never, though.

I do recall Boris Yeltsin having tanks shell the Russian Federated Soviet Socialist Republic's parliament building at one point. Was on TV and shit.

Gorbachev was sidelined in Crimea at that time.


These events happened in 1993 and 1991 respectively, so not "at that time".
