Powders and powers
A lot of people seem to be OBSERVING the ferociously obvious fact that Social Distancing is an imperative mandate for ordinary humans but not for rioters and looters. Some of these people are finally realizing what was clear from the start, that the whole mess has ZERO correlation to any microscopic pathogens and 100% correlation to the giant pathogens acting as presidents and governors.
The authorities need to find a THEORY to explain this distinction. Fortunately their predecessors have generously provided this THEORY.
From Lea's history of the Inquisition:
The demonologists therefore invented the comforting theory that through the goodness of God the witch instantaneously lost her power as soon as the hand of an officer of justice was laid upon her. But for this, indeed, it might have been difficult to find men hardy enough to seize, imprison, try, and execute these delegates of Satan, whose slightest ill-will was so dangerous.Since these modern authorities have already adopted most of Sprenger's theories and methods, this one would fit neatly into their conceptual framework. For instance:
What rendered the powers of the witch peculiarly powerful was the deplorable fact that the Church had no remedy for the evils which she so recklessly wrought. It is true that the sign of the cross, and holy water, and blessed oil, and palms, and candles, and wax and salt, and the strict observance of religious rites were in some sense a safeguard and a preventive.Oddly, Sprenger didn't explicitly recommend masks, but the strict observance of religious rites clearly includes the Mass of Social Distancing and its Vestments of masks and lucite shields. The basic medium of witchcraft has always been powders made of invisible particles.
Sprenger divides witches into three classes, those who can injure and not cure, those who can cure and not injure, and those who can do both, and the worst are those who unite these faculties, for the more they insult and offend God, the greater power of evil he gives them. They kill and eat children, or devote them to the devil if unbaptized. They cause abortion by merely laying a hand upon a woman, or dry up her milk if she is nursing. By twirling a moistened broom, or casting flints behind them towards the east, or boiling hogs' bristles in a pot, or stirring a pool with a finger, they raise tempests and hailstorms which devastate whole regions; they bring the plagues of locusts and caterpillars which devour the harvests; they render men impotent and women barren, and cause horses to become suddenly mad under their riders. Sometimes they scattered over the fields powders which destroyed the cattle. They constantly entered houses at night, and, sprinkling a powder on the pillows of the parents which rendered them insensible, would touch the children with fingers smeared with a poisonous unguent causing death in a few days...We saw a similar focus in the panic created by 9/11, when "terrorists" were constantly sprinkling the white powder of Anthrax, which literally destroyed cattle along with humans. WMD = Witches of Mass Destruction. The current panic uses an orange powder instead of the classic white powder, for obvious reasons.
