\"Covid-1984by J.B. Shurk –
\nHere’s what our COVID-1984 authoritarians want: they seek to use pandemics, wars, uncontrolled immigration, doomsday climate predictions, and “woke” cultural Marxism to keep people in a constant\u00a0state of fear<\/a>, divided among themselves, and willing to hand over their freedoms for evaporative promises of protection.\u00a0\u00a0“Protection” in this racket means\u00a0survival<\/em>\u00a0but\u00a0not life<\/em>,\u00a0equity<\/em>\u00a0but\u00a0not fairness<\/em>, financial\u00a0handouts<\/em>\u00a0but\u00a0not prosperity<\/em>, and politically correct\u00a0narratives\u00a0<\/em>but\u00a0no truth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This last point deserves emphasis.\u00a0\u00a0The powers that be\u2014the central bankers, global financial elites, corporate propagandists, and political aristocrats\u2014have given up on any notion of\u00a0truth<\/em>. \u00a0They neither pursue it objectively nor desire to discover it for philosophical or spiritual elevation.<\/p>\n

Truth<\/em>, to them, is too dangerous because it cannot be controlled by men with power.\u00a0\u00a0So they murdered it and molded a monster out of clay they affectionately call their\u00a0narrative<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0Then, having no respect for the dead or remorse for their deed, they chose to disguise their monstrous narratives with masks made from truth’s likeness.<\/p>\n

Science<\/em>\u00a0is venerated as the apotheosis of\u00a0objectivity<\/em>, even as those with power dictate what\u00a0official science<\/em>\u00a0can say,\u00a0expunging dissenting<\/a>\u00a0scientific opinions from the public domain by either starving grant-dependent scientists into submission or outright\u00a0censoring<\/a>\u00a0their work.\u00a0\u00a0Like a tribe of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers dancing around a fire and praying to the moon, the powers that be pretend to be obedient and humble disciples of\u00a0science’s objective purity<\/em>\u00a0by chanting together, “We must follow the science wherever it goes.”<\/p>\n

In practice, however, they know exactly where the science will go because they are the ones\u00a0paying for it<\/a>\u00a0to dance to the beat they alone provide.\u00a0\u00a0If science is controlled by a global oligarchy using it for personal wealth and power, then “trust the science” really means “trust the authoritarians.”\u00a0\u00a0It really is that simple.<\/p>\n

With neither\u00a0truth<\/em>\u00a0nor the objective pursuit of\u00a0science<\/em>\u00a0playing any part in their\u00a0scheming<\/a>, the political and financial 1% of the 1% are beholden to no one and nothing \u2014 not to God, reason, rationality, logic, or principle \u2014 leaving them to become their own highest powers entitled to create and\u00a0destroy the world<\/a>\u00a0as they see fit.\u00a0\u00a0We do not have to wait for the rollout of augmented and virtual realities being created by technocrats to further enslave the masses to understand that the “elites” who have controlled\u00a0our reality<\/em>\u00a0since WWII play deadly games all the time \u2014 against each other, among nation-states, among whole continents, but most importantly between themselves and everybody else on planet Earth.<\/p>\n

Can Russia hawks\u00a0start a war<\/a>\u00a0in Europe over\u00a0Ukraine<\/a>?\u00a0\u00a0Can the ruling Uniparty in America effectively flood the United States with so much\u00a0unlawful immigration<\/a>\u00a0and unchecked\u00a0voter fraud<\/a>\u00a0that the voices of individual Americans become drowned out?\u00a0\u00a0Can the “free-traders” continue three decades of middle-class wealth destruction and blue-collar job offshoring by further selling to the destitute the wondrous benefits of their snake oil made from cheap Chinese imports and middle-American poverty?<\/p>\n

What’s at stake?\u00a0\u00a0Oh, only\u00a0lives<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 those of\u00a0soldiers<\/em>\u00a0who will be tasked to fight wars abroad triggered for the wrong reasons; those of\u00a0innocent civilians<\/em>\u00a0who become collateral damage to an illegal U.S. policy that has aided and abetted the exponential rise of narco-terrorism, sex trafficking, and other society-killing crimes flowing effortlessly across an unprotected southern border; and, of course, those of\u00a0entire generations<\/em>\u00a0of lost Americans, whose happiness and stability were sacrificed for the swelling stock portfolios of globalist “free-traders,” as well as the\u00a0crumbling towns<\/em>\u00a0across America those generations still call home today.<\/p>\n

What are\u00a0lives<\/em>, though, to a ruling class that celebrates the\u00a0narrative<\/em>\u00a0and wears\u00a0truth<\/em>\u00a0as Buffalo Bill would a skin suit?\u00a0\u00a0For them, it’s all just a\u00a0game<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0For the people who have fallen victim to these\u00a0\u00fcber-1% games, however, it has all\u00a0become quite personal.<\/p>\n

I think it is no exaggeration to say that a growing number of people in America, the West, and around the globe, generally, are looking around at what the “elite” have wrought these last seventy-five years and do not like what they see.\u00a0\u00a0The distinction between “free” and “controlled” countries is disappearing as governments\u00a0expand their powers<\/a>\u00a0at the expense of\u00a0individual rights<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0liberties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regulation, central banking, and crony capitalism have worked together to\u00a0concentrate wealth<\/a>\u00a0into the hands of\u00a0ever fewer people<\/a>\u00a0and companies while preventing the unadulterated operation of truly free markets.\u00a0\u00a0National histories and cultures are being destroyed so globalists can reorder the world according to a “Great Reset” that gives them absolute power and total control.<\/p>\n

And political “leaders” are all parroting the same “build back better” nonsense when what they mean to\u00a0build back<\/em>\u00a0is a planet where the 1% of the 1% can tighten its grip around everyone else.\u00a0\u00a0If any of their members espoused\u00a0truth<\/em>\u00a0instead of\u00a0narrative<\/em>, they would admit that they are building a great machine, whereby all of humanity except for the “elite” can be treated as nothing more than\u00a01s\u00a0and\u00a00s;\u00a0inputs\u00a0and\u00a0outputs; expendable, exchangeable, nameless, and meaningless\u00a0resources,\u00a0widgets, or\u00a0cogs.<\/p>\n

This much is clear: government debt and central bank money-printing cannot continue much longer.\u00a0\u00a0System\u00a0breakdown<\/a>, triggered by runaway inflation, the implosion of asset values, or the death knell for fiat currency, means that a political and social construct built by “elites” for their own wealth, power, and amusement will spiral wildly beyond their control.\u00a0\u00a0Revolutions begin this way.\u00a0\u00a0Entire epochs in human history begin this way.\u00a0\u00a0New ideas, paradigms, and civilizations arise as the old ones corrode, cavitate, and collapse.<\/p>\n

I have no sympathy for the 1% of the 1% or the numerous lies they tell daily in order to\u00a0build back<\/em>\u00a0a totalitarian system that enfeebles us while deifying them, but I will say this: if you were part of such a small part of the world’s population, and you understood that drastic social change lay just ahead, perhaps you, too, would do everything you could to\u00a0shackle<\/a>\u00a0the 99.99% with the chains of division, economic subsistence, rolling pandemics of fear, and bio-digital enslavement before the many\u00a0awaken to the reality\u00a0that the few long ago swapped\u00a0truth\u00a0for nothing more than\u00a0control.<\/p>\n

I think\u00a0Patrick Rothfuss<\/a>\u00a0got it right when he warned, “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”\u00a0\u00a0What happens as more and more people discover that all of the elites’ dancing under the light of the moon these last few decades has really been about worshiping\u00a0narratives for control<\/em>\u00a0and nothing more?\u00a0\u00a0What happens when that light, like all their other “noble lies,” dies out?<\/p>\n

I think then we will experience what comes when all three great fears are unleashed at once \u2014 a monumental\u00a0storm\u00a0washing away “elite” corruption and power, the\u00a0rage\u00a0of long quiet and civilized men, and a period of unavoidable darkness that must exist before the next\u00a0new moon\u00a0can rise.\u00a0\u00a0Considering how afraid the ruling class seems to be of losing power over the world, somebody with a little wisdom has surely been whispering in their ears about the future.<\/p>\n

One certainty is now irrefutable: far from being at the\u00a0end of history, we are witnessing what can only be described as\u00a0the beginning\u00a0of history’s next chapter.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014
