    My conclusion is a revelation that no one knows what the fuck they're doing, really. It's amazing what humanity has accomplished given that no one knows what the fuck they're doing. Oh, and total collapse into fiery oblivion is probably baseline for the expected outcome. Some may say we catastrophists are paranoid, but it pays off in spades when you only ever pleasantly surprised.

    Also, very thankful that I'm on the right side of the Mississippi from the gasoline refineries and Shiner Bock. Enjoying copious amounts of either on my days off (like today) has been fantastic for my stress levels.

    By the way... has Fauci been fired yet?

    The agenda is the same, it's just that different countries have different obstacles prohibiting proper and complete implementation. Some will take longer using different tactics. Each country is a social laboratory using slightly different strategies and they are learning much from the reaction of the public of those countries towards these nuances in policies.

    His posts are very compelling .

    I’m not so sure about depopulation though. He may be using the term in a way I don’t understand. In any case, reduction in population can happen very fast in the absence of procreation. 100yrs gets us to zero potentially.

    Sterilization is not any faster really.

    You can argue less population is good for the environment but a debacle for socialism so I’m not really sure about the motivation. Fear and control I do understand.

    And it is good for that. I don't know where I first heard about that study with SARS survivors, but it's a good one.

    This is essentially the first of the two explanations I've contemplated.

    And this is the second. Although the two aren't mutually exclusive. It could be some puppetmaster types pulling the strings of world leaders who are acting with a combination of hubris and incompetence.

    CJ Hopkins, a resident of Germany -Greetings from “New Normal” Germany! – OffGuardian

    "But, seriously, there is no similarity whatsoever between Nazi Germany and “New Normal” Germany.

    Sure, both systems suspended the constitution, declared a national “state of emergency” enabling the government to rule by decree, inundated the masses with insane propaganda and manipulated “scientific facts,” outlawed protests, criminalized dissent, implemented a variety of public rituals, and symbols, and a social segregation system, to enforce compliance with their official ideologies, and demonized anyone who refused to comply…but, other than that, there’s no similarity, and anyone who suggests there is is a dangerous social-deviant extremist who probably needs to be quarantined somewhere, or perhaps dealt with in some other “special” way."

    "On top of which, no swastikas, right? No swastikas, no totalitarianism!"

    They don't need to make drastic changes. Just minimal shifts in policy over time can have huge implications in the trajectory. A Boeing 747 that changes its course by just a few degrees can make the aircraft land very far from its destination.

    I'd say desire vs agenda because it is much more that the powers that be share a hive mind than they are conspiring together.

    It's kinda like when you find out that someone you click with likes a tone of the same stuff as you.

    UK: "I love replacing the English with Pakistanis!"
    Sweden: "What?!?! I love replacing Swedes with Africans!"
    US: "Hablas Espanol, amigos?"

    They want a different population more so than a lesser one.

    We see a similar concept in the article Form Creep Form Creep | Mark Rippetoe "A deviation of 1% is usually not noticeable but practiced at 99% over time it becomes the new embedded motor pattern. A 1% deviation from the new 99% pattern will also not be noticed, and 98% will become embedded. This process continues until the degradation becomes noticeable as an error in form, at which point it must be corrected."

We failed the test, and whatever comes next has already been planned.
