Of course, to say that those restrictions were “propagated” will make me sound as though I was suspicious of them, or of the cause that the public is supposed to believe necessitated them. And that is true, I was, and am. But who isn’t at this point? Is anyone still going to maintain that there’s no such thing as an administrative state? Or arms of government that operate in secrecy, and are unaccountable to the electorate? Perhaps there weren’t always, but there are now. And have been for some time.
