The word 'Quarantine' is beginning to take on a sinister second meaning. In this new sense, it has less to do with protection from any real disease than it has to do with stifiling freedom of speech, assembly and thought. The quarantine is a tool intended to prevent the expression of ideas that pose a challenge to the dominant social group's ill-gotten power, status and cultural hegemomy. It is a catch phrase for malicious efforts by a powerful group to silence inconvenient truths, to oppress and stifle the members of society who are being directly harmed by its agendas.
