Andrew Cuomo in leaked audio: School lockdowns are a ‘fear based response’

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed “party of science.” They often say we need to listen to doctors without taking into account that doctors are naturally going to err on the side of caution even if doing so does little good against the pandemic and tremendous bad to the welfare of the people. But don’t think for a moment that Democrats like Cuomo are simply unaware of the stupidity of their lockdowns. They’re fully aware and banking solely on the stupidity of the populace.

A perfect example of this was acknowledged by Cuomo himself in a recently leaked phone conversation he had. In it, he declared, “This is not a highly nuanced, sophisticated response. This is a fear driven response. This is not a policy being written by a scalpel. This is a policy being cut by a hatchet.”

He then went on to blame Mayor Bill de Blasio for the closing of all schools, including preschools, and claimed that he was trying to “sharpen” the policy to better suit the Jewish leaders he was talking to on the phone at the time.

According to Emes:

Hamodia recently published an article which contains a half-hour long audio clip of a private phone conversation recently held between NY State Governor Cuomo and various Rabbonim in the community. The audio (full clip below) as well as the article are very telling. But perhaps one of the most shocking parts is where Cuomo tells Rabbi Yaakov Bender that the government initiatives are not based on science, but simply out of fear.

Notice at the end of the clip how Howard Zucker, Commissioner of Health for New York State agrees with the governor.

Let’s dispel this fiction that Andrew Cuomo doesn’t know what he’s doing with the lockdowns. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s using fear to promote authoritarian control to keep the people beholden to big government.

COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet

Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.

Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.

When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.

Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.

The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.

The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.

Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

American Conservative Movement

Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
