You cannot confine, repress, terrify, and coerce an entire nation for three years, and afterwards maintain any hope of returning to the world as it was before.
First Easter since 2019 with family, and this is interrupting your regularly scheduled programming a little more than I anticipated. Thanks nevertheless for your patience, and I wish all of you a happy Easter.
I've been saying this for the better part of three years:
"Corona Virus will come and go, but government will NEVER forget how easy it was to take control of everyone's life; to control every sporting event, classroom, restaurant table, church, and even whether and when people are allowed to leave their homes."
That government officials would gladly erase human freedom was not surprising. That whole populations would surrender their freedom so enthusiastically was shocking.
The damage to the social development of children born just before and during The Plague Era won't be so easily reversible. If we thought we'd had a few abnormal generations before...
It still amazes me, how many people followed suit. At first, shame on me, I did too, because it was only said to be a few weeks. But then the carnival began, and the jabs were a no no from first, since they contain so many harmful ingredients, and so many unknowns. I told friends and family I wanted to wait until the end of the test fase (end of this year) and since they all took it, they would be protected anyway (and I seldom get sick). So here we are, facts proven, no one apologized, and my 2 closest friends trying to get back to me, will stand there until. The only one I kept in contact with is my hair dresser, since one needs a hair cut, and a friend dog lover, because one needs a reference when the dog gets ill. And she never treated me like the enemy either. The rest of my friends are unjabbed like myself.
COVID has made me an objectively worse person: less trusting, less happy, etc. I wonder if the damage can ever be undone, not just for me, but for everyone. I'm afraid I already know the answer.
I am still shocked at how quickly the American public scampered to “shelter in place”, swath themselves in masks and douse themselves with hand sanitizer after a couple of health department demands for compliance.
Another great article. I take issue with the very last sentence, "None of us will ever forget this."
Most of your readers and those of Jessica Rose, Chudov, Berenson, and others will surely not forget it. However, there will be a large group ready to be scared to death and follow our rulers' orders the minute they are issued. We can only hope that it will be a smaller group than for the covid fiasco. Remember Walt Kelly's Pogo line, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
It's a fairly long read (44 pages) but the author cuts it up into an absolutely dynamite prologue, followed by 13 brief, digestible chapters covering the various aspects of the merging of big tech and government.
I am reminded of a darkly humorous joke about the Tiananmen Square Massacre, where the darling business-partner nation of western capitalists, China, murdered their citizens for the "crime" of wanting free speech, freedom of opinion and free and fair elections.
"In Memory of Tiananmen Square 1989 - Where Nothing Happened"
Just swap it out for the nation of your choice, and 2020-2023.
We need to commemorate our spiritual religious and cultural traditions now more than ever, after our tyrants tried to break them - Easter, Christmas, birthdays and all things seasonal because we are hurtling towards a fake homogeneity marked by Amazon sale days, regular drug top-ups and the worship of climate gods.
Politicians, government bureaucrats, corporate media and now even medical "professionals" have destroyed whatever credibility they may have had left prior to the COVID fraud.

we won't forget this and we won't forgive this.

I just want to say how much I enjoy "virus pest" as a descriptor, happy Easter!
I will never forget this or the podgy ladies of leisure who enabled it among the masses through their absurd mixture of fear and vanity.
If freedoms have to be legislated and decreed from on high, they are no freedoms at all, just permissions to act a certain way.
Happy Easter eugyppius, God bless you, Jesus is risen which means we can have ultimate freedom over sin and death through His sacrifice.

Not only are the mechanisms of authoritarianism still in place, our leaders (at least here in the US) have been working on refining them in ways I had barely imagined. I discovered this article on the subject, entitled "A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century", by Jacob Siegel, in Tablet (an online magazine covering Jewish culture) which connected a lot of the dots for me. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/guide-understanding-hoax-century-thirteen-ways-looking-disinformation#censorship
