Friday's Absurdity of the Day: The Olympics Sell-Out to China
The International Olympics Committee announced its COVID protocols for the 2022 Winter Games to be held in Beijing, China, and, if you’ve been paying attention, they are exactly what you would expect them to be, including:
Lengthy quarantines for unvaccinated participating athletes, coaches and staff;
Daily COVID testing;
All participating personnel will enter into a “closed loop” management system upon arriving in China;
That “closed loop” system “will cover all Games-related areas, including arrival and departure, transport, accommodation, catering, competitions, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Within the closed loop, participants will be allowed to move only between Games-related venues for training, competitions and work. A dedicated Games transport system will be put in place.”; and finally…
Only residents of China’s mainland will be allowed to attend the Olympics Games, and that will included only those who have been fully vaccinated.
So, what’s so absurd about this? After all, these are basically the same kinds of restrictions we’ve seen put in place in the U.S. and other countries, including the “closed-loop” management system that was used by the NBA and to a lesser extent the NFL and MLB in their 2020 seasons.
The absurdity in all of this is obvious, isn’t it? The absurdity in all of this is the very fact that the world is even contemplating allowing China to host these games or any other international festival or event.
Why? BECAUSE COVID ORIGINATED IN CHINA.
China, in fact, let the virus loose upon the world, and there is every reason to believe that that was an intentional, contemplated act by that country’s communist government. Allowing this evil government to play host to these games constitutes an act of unilateral surrender not only by the globalist creeps who run the IOC, but by the entire creep-filled international community.
Allowing these games to go forward in Beijing tells us all that the coverup of China’s role in unleashing this plague upon the rest of the world is complete, and that no one will be held accountable for the act. Limiting attendance to only residents of mainland China - where the virus was let loose - is the final finger poke in the rest of the world’s eye by Xi Jinping.
And hey, because we have an addled, senile, compromised China Sock Puppet pretending to hold the presidency, no one in the U.S. government will utter a peep of protest.
That’s the absurdity in all of this.
That is all.
