Tucker Carlson Warns Of Tyrannical Power Grab Over Coronavirus Pandemic

The Fox News host said on his show Wednesday, that left-wing politicians like United President Joe Biden are using the coronavirus pandemic to assert and consolidate authoritarian powers. He slammed the overreaction over the Omicron variant of the Chinese virus detected in South Africa.

Western leaders including Boris Johnson reimposed some corona-restriction this week. Biden banned travel from 8 African nations including Mozambique, and South Africa where the virus variant was first detected and reported by Angelique Coetzee, the head of the country's Medical Association.

"People living in the nation of Mozambique along the southern coast of Africa woke up to pretty surprising news this week ....," Carlson reported. "The Biden administration informed the people of Mozambique in a presidential proclamation supposedly signed by Biden himself that they are no longer allowed in the United States. It's nothing personal. It's omicron, the new COVID variant that has been used to justify lockdowns around the world. The problem is in the confusion came from the fact that there is no omicron in Mozambique. There's not a single case of it in the country."

"From her office in Pretoria, Dr. Coetzee watched all of this happen with her jaw open," Carlson said sarcastically. "She was horrified. 'I have been stunned at the response,' Coetzee wrote today in a piece for the Daily Mail. 'No one here in South Africa is known to have been hospitalized with the Omicron variant, nor has anyone here believed to have fallen seriously ill with it.' In other words, omicron, whatever it is, is far less dangerous than pretty much everything else that's currently going on in South Africa at the moment. But it didn't matter."

The Fox News host also noted that the first detected case of Omicron in U.S. is a fully-vaccinated patient in California. He pointed out that the stringent and authoritarian measures don't seem to be helping in stopping the spread of the Chinese virus.

"None of it worked, and the vaccines didn't work, either," Carlson said. "The patient in California had two injections and still got omicron. So maybe the lesson here is viruses are very hard to stop. Sometimes they're virtually impossible to stop because they spread with remarkable efficiency. In the case of coronaviruses, they live in animals, so they're never going away, ever. No matter what. They don't tell you that, but it's true."

Carlson wondered if the mutating Chinese virus means permanent tyrannical rule by left-wing leaders and bureaucrats. "So you have to ask yourself, when will this end? Viruses mutate constantly," he said. "That's their nature. Will every new omicron variant mean massive, new and unconstitutional powers for our political class? That's what is meant so far."

The Fox News firebrand said that the cycle of hysteria and more power grab by left-wing leaders is not sustainable. He also slammed left-wing media outlets for aiding and abetting the leaders: "This is a cycle, and it's not a cycle that any democracy can survive. You'd think some of the media might point this out. What are the limits here? No. Instead, they're making certain you're as terrified as Joe Biden wants you to be."

Carlson reported on the tyrannical measures that are also implemented in western countries like Austria, Canada and Australia where corona-positive citizens are locked up in concentration quarantine camps.

The Fox News host Noted that "not a single person is in the hospital in South Africa because of omicron." Yet Omicron is the pretext upon which many left-wing leaders have assumed tyrannical police powers.

Carlson warned that "unless someone stops [the tyrannical takeover] very soon," it'll become the new normal. "Maybe it'll take a new party, a civil rights party, to stop our descent toward actual tyranny," he said.
