Many of you will be aware of an article written
by Emily Oster published in the Atlantic on Oct. 31st, 2022 entitled,
“LET’S DECLARE A PANDEMIC AMNESTY: Let’s focus on the future, and fix the
problems we still need to solve.” https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/covid-response-forgiveness/671879/
In this article Oster insists that we ought to
forgive and forget how illiberal and authoritarian the response to COVID was in
spite of the fact it appears that we still have learned nothing, particularly
when it comes to the authoritarian, narcissistic policies of our leaders who
ignored our inherent civil liberties claiming in so many fine words that tyranny
would mitigate the pandemic. It must also be noted that it is one thing for the
public to accept what their elected representatives have mandated as opposed to
why the first response of the State was to use the virus as a political weapon
against the citizen by taking exceptional authoritarian measures to mitigate
the pandemic, measures which are still in play as we are warned of future
outbreaks. Yet we have demonstrable proof that these measures not only did not
work but have caused horrendous ancillary damage to society.
For over two years the “powers-that-be” have used
COVID as an excuse to enforce measures that were more dangerous than the virus itself
and now, they want us to forget it all happened. Well, no, I for one won't be
forgetting that the State used an illness to grant itself unprecedented
unconstitutional authority while undermining the economy and destroying our
children's education. More are likely to die of harm from their heavy-handed
policies and vaccine injuries than from the virus. More small businesses will
never reopen than over any other period of time in my living memory. And damningly,
more wealth was transferred to the super rich than has ever occurred in all of
human history.
On the strange death of free market
economies, individual autonomy, and economic freedom in favour of a Fascistic
form of social collectivism:
Newt Gingrich once stated, "The future has
publicists, but the past has prison guards, and those guards are mostly
lobbyists who do everything they can to stop the future." This simple
axiom perfectly defines why democracy is failing in the West. Our governments
are deliberately being controlled by powerful multinational conglomerates and
the wicked elite who are invested in them who use their clout to control
governments!
In 1776 the father of the Free Market economy,
Adam Smith wrote in "The Wealth of Nations" that any gathering of
businessmen is a conspiracy against the consumer. In this Postmodern age it has
become a concerted plan to control the political process to serve the elite. Consequently,
the elite's goals are invariably at odds with what serves the public good!
“People of the same trade seldom meet together
even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy
against the public or contrivance to raise prices” - Adam Smith from “The
Wealth of Nations”
Since Adam Smith couldn’t possibly have
conceived of a gathering of the uber wealthy the size and scope of the meeting
of the great and good in Davos, this manipulation of our political and
bureaucratic class to serve the needs of the entitled 1% is unprecedented. Our elected
leaders not only do not create policies which serve the needs of the public,
they have betrayed their sacred duty to defend our democracies from Fascistic
forces whose idea of building back better is to plunge the West into darkness
and starvation in order to green the planet. These Fascists are in fact ghouls
who despise the very foundations of Western Culture, our Christian heritage,
and the achievements of the true liberal social progress since the age of
enlightenment until now when this pack of dystopian power mongers are trying to
drive the West back into the Dark Ages.
And they’ve used the pandemic as an excuse to
do so! Forgive and forget? I don’t think so!
