The Stasi were the secret police set up in Communist East Germany to subdue its population in a reign of terror. One of their key assets were snitches who reported on neighbours, family, friends and enemies. It is estimated that at one point 1 in a 100 East German citizens worked as snitches for the state.
With the American thanksgiving a few days away, the Democrat Governor of Oregon, Kate Brown, is calling on citizens to snitch on their friends, family, neighbours and enemies if they are violating the state’s COVID-1984 restrictions that limit household gathering to a maximum of six people.
According to a report by LifeSite News, a Catholic online news service, the Winnipeg City Police have set up a COVID snitch line where neighbours and family can turn in people for supposedly breaking the city’s COVID lockdown rules.

According to Liberty Counsel, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is encouraging citizens to snitch on people who are breaking his lockdown orders. The state even provided an online snitch form that you can fill out to snitch on your neighbours, friends or anyone you hold a grudge against. It could even be family member if you like (Matthew 10:21-22).
