    Refreshing to see this. I guess the gas gets applied next. Nerve agent, blister agent, or Zyclon B? Which will they use?
    Zyclon "V" is enough, they don't need anything else.

    And unintelligent ones at that. If their greatest asset is “on their shoulders” then why are they injecting healthy young people with a clotting agent?

    The SecDef is an incompetent affirmative action case, and Berger appears to be another jellyfish. (And Milley, /the/ insurrection. ) WTH???!!!

    Maybe they’re all blackmailed with child porn.

    Just for clarity, and this is important, when you say “our reaction to it”, do you mean, we the victims reacted falsely (and overly dramatically) to our treatment, or that the policy was chosen for diversionary reasons?

    I think you mean the latter. But that begs the question who and how.

    But yes the focused protection would have been rational, probably more effective, and definitely less suspicious.

    Barry’s theory assumes that governments acted the way they did because they thought they were dealing with a genuine virus. His theory is even logical if that particular assumption were valid, but it is a huge assumption.

Imaging Facebook-type censorship, but instead of a post being deleted or a meme removed, your own thought is deleted and your own opinion is removed. Perhaps even your ability to conjure a thought that is counter to the mainstream narrative is prevented.

    It'll start virtuous enough... "Install this neuralink update which will prevent you from having racist/sexist/homophobic thoughts... wait, you don't want those thoughts censored? What are you, a racist?"

    I have a funny feeling we're going to look back at Covid as the start of this, unless something major causes a shift of the current trajectory.
    Yes. What sounds absurd and only distantly remotely technologically possible today or even tomorrow is irrelevant.

    The technocratic elites are driven by a pseudo-religious drive (and not by money, or political power - because they have already maxxed out) to liberate the self and its embeddedness in the world, and totally do away with in-born embedded identities. You are easy to manage if you have no identity, and as a group have nothing to rally around beyond some vague political ideas of levelling everything into a pathetic mass, and "equality" (the Left) and money/bootstrapism/it's-every-man's-right-to-come-here-&-start-a-small-business-no-matter-his-darned-colour (the Right). They desire to make everything into a fungible unit, which is capable of being easily transported, modified or REPLACED - including people. Our ethnic and national identities are the PRIMARY TARGET of elite critique is to give up on this is to lose the game.

    I agree that Covid is the start of this new, particularly accelerated phase of this long, long term project. Our technocratic elites don't think in terms of 4-year election cycles, or measure things by money - they think in centuries. People accepting vaccines they don't need into their bodies, and permanently hooking themselves deeper into The Grid with vaccine passports is just the start.

    No fatality rate justifies outsourcing risk management to the government.

    Very True.

    What fatality rate justifies withholding early treatment (therapies)? How about PCR tests with cycle thresholds of 45? What fatality rate do we need to justify using a fake HCQ study (Lancet) to forbid the use of an early treatment therapy? Categorizing motorcycle deaths as covid? Seeding covid in nursing homes?

    We have a whole thread of such questions? These are just the ones that pop into my head with 30 seconds of reflection.

    Mistakes, Malfeasance, Misfeasance or just good ole fashion Fuckery?

    Is pretending to fail the perfect crime?

    I have deleted all the left leaning national stations, and I watch precious little TV these days except for a good western or two. I get most of my information off the net, but it is like trawling though the cesspool at the local dump.

    It appeared to be a pretty straightforward inference from your quoting the survival rates then saying anything you do about such a thing is silly. If your (and others) position is that the Govt should never intervene in public health 'emergencies' then that is fine and clear - is that really what you are saying, noting there are a whole range of possible low-level interventions that could be considered? Or are you saying that this particular response has been so "utterly fucked up" that it could never be justified? Or are you saying something else?

    I apologise if this has been posted on here before. I can't believe I missed it. This is the best damn interview I've seen in Australian history. "Prepare for December 2021!" - Australian Political Leader Ricardo Bosi on the Aussie Nuremberg 2.0 - YouTube
