This is what I have been thinking for a while. I don't know what it is, and I'm not saying its intentional. Most likely, it's incompetency across the board. I think at the end of the day it's going to be, "Yeah, Ivermectin would have worked after all. Sorry about that."Quote:
The covid Narrative is just such a story. It doesn't fit together, even on its own terms. Something is wrong.
One of my filters that I view the world from is that nearly everything makes sense if you can see all of the pieces. If something doesn't square, it's because you don't see things._mpaul said:This is what I have been thinking for a while. I don't know what it is, and I'm not saying its intentional.

So are you saying that the honest assessment at this point is it can't make sense, as some pieces are still hidden? Could agree with that.Get Off My Lawn said:One of my filters that I view the world from is that nearly everything makes sense if you can see all of the pieces.

One example; Lebron being China's *****. When someone identified the $ trail it all falls into place: Nike wants access to China's market, the NBA is effectively an advertising vehicle for Nike, so the best NBA players are paid Nike spokesmen.
In the same way, many of the modern decisions in halls of power make sense only when all of the pieces are aggregated, and the official narrative clearly lacks pieces.
Some liberals have liberal values. Most of them just turned out to be liars who hide under a cloak of compassion so they can implement their brutal, freedom-destroying schemes.K188Ag said:
This was a really good article. The comments to the article are also great. Lots of people that used to be lefties have now had their eyes opened as to what the left is really about.
And when was the last time you heard about all the deaths in Sweden due to not locking down?waco_aggie05 said:
What's crazy is there isn't anymore talk about cases, deaths, or hospitalizations anymore. Its just mandates and unvaxxed fear porn.

I am watching all this from Ireland, the country which has the highest vaccination rate in Western Europe, at over 94% of the adult population. At the same time, curiously, we have the highest covid infection rates in Western Europe too.
The government has not been able to explain this fact, but it is a trend that has recently manifested in some other highly-vaccinated places too: Gibraltar, Israel, West Flanders. High levels of vaccination do not seem to correspond with low-levels of disease; often quite the opposite.
In other parts of the world, strange things are happening too. Africa, for example. Africa's population is the largest, fastest-growing and materially poorest of any continent. Few governments there can afford to supply their people with the pricey corporate vaccines which we in the West have staked our nations on. Only 6% of Africa's population is vaccinated, and national healthcare systems barely exist in many places, yet the WHO describes the continent as 'one of the least affected regions in the world' by the virus. In fact, the richer, more 'developed' parts of the world seem to be suffering worst from the pandemic.
Nobody seems to be able to explain any of this

In an honest society, all of this would have been subject to robust public debate. We would have seen scientists of all opinions openly debating on TV and radio and in the press; views of all kinds aired on social media; journalists properly investigating reports of both vaccine successes and vaccine dangers; serious explorations of alternative treatments; public debates about the balance between civil liberties and public health, and what 'public health' even means.
But we have not seen this and we will not see it, for debate, like dissent, is out of fashion. The media here in Ireland has not asked a critical question of anyone in authority for at least eighteen months. Google's algorithms are busy burying inconvenient data, while the social media channels from which most people receive their worldview are removing or suppressing critical opinions, even if they come from virologists or editors of the British Medical Journal.
Day after day, I have been waking and wondering: what is going on?

Best article I've seen on this Covid vaccine insanity.

What is happening on the surface is revealing what has always lain beneath, but which in normal times is hidden from view. All of the action now is in the underworld

Covid is a revelation. It has lain bare splits in the social fabric that were always there but could be ignored in better times. It has revealed the compliance of the legacy media and the power of Silicon Valley to curate and control the public conversation. It has confirmed the sly dishonesty of political leaders, and their ultimate obeisance to corporate power. It has shown up 'The Science' for the compromised ideology it is.
Quote:
Most of all, though, what the covid apocalypse has revealed to me is that when people are frightened, they can be easily controlled.

Edit to add the disturbing conclusion: govs, media, and technology corps can use their power to ensure only obedient people will have access to society.
This true. Its been especially clear that Media is trash and simply partisan since around Y2K and was pretty obvious during Clinton but still a little less off rails. That science engages in casual fraud is a little newer -- its definitely a very fallen institution in this century.Ayto Siks said:

To some degree. I think the pharma $ combined with peer pressure explains quite a bit. Power Players on the dole are pushing it and they're dragging others along ("you can join us, or we can shipwreck your political career").
Obviously there are some politicians who just want power (the narcism required to thinking you can lead a nation self-selects for those who are power-hungry), and there are corporations who will choose to make money by jumping on to any opportunity to advance themselves or crush their competition.
But the glimpses of the intended dystopian future state don't seem like they would have as broad of an appeal as they are enjoying seemingly universally in political and tech leadership so I get the feeling I'm still missing part of the big picture.

I have watched much of the political left transition openly into the authoritarian movement it probably always was, and countless 'liberals' campaigning against liberty. As freedom after freedom has been taken away, I have watched intellectual after intellectual justify it all.
