And so the slide into medical fascism continues unabated ...but it will not win. There are early signs of real resistance coming out of Britain that give me hope. Read Dr Steve James in the Spectator: Why should I be sacked for refusing the vaccine? He actually was filmed confronting the Health Minister David and the whole thing went viral. If all doctors stood up and talked truth to power it would all be over in a month!
Everywhere in the Western world it is the same picture. Your description, dear Monika, resembles totally and completely the demonizing of "Anti-vaxxers" in Germany. A popular female TV-comedian (Sarah Bosetti) recently dared to compare Anti-Vaxxers with a disposable "Blinddarm" (= appendix), which by the way is a comparison the infamous KZ-doctor Fritz Klein used in order to explain the "Minderwertigkeit" of Jews: 'Der Jude aber ist der eiternde Blinddarm im Körper der Menschheit' ('The Jew is the ulcerous appendix in the body of mankind'). But even more scandalous is the fact, that nowadays you can get away with that in Germany - a small shitstorm, an ambigious apology which did not take back the underlying comtempt of those "ulcerous" anti-vaxxers, and nobody cares anymore.
Great essay. Something about the pandemic seems to have brought out the petty authoritarian in large segments of the population, and political leaders have become proxies for this unfounded and seething resentment. What most people don't realise is that since the advent of Delta Covid exposure has become all but an inevitably.
As I've written elsewhere- it's parasite stress. Most people don't consider that if they go to shops, restaurants, offices or workplaces at all, then the are likely exposing themselves to human vectors with literally thousands of contacts- and it is a matter of declining immunity (from whatever source) before their favourite shop assistant gets Covid and exposes them.
Vaccination since Delta only provides a 40% reduction in the chances of catching and passing Delta. Against the weight of human numbers we encounter in our lives the only thing which is protect us is whatever strength our own immune system affords us. But people don't want to admit this- it would take away the blanket of emotional security afforded by the persisting belief that vaccines will stop them from getting Covid.
Don't get me wrong. Vaccines work- especially for protecting the vulnerable and the elderly. But each person should have the opportunity to weigh the information for themselves, to evaluate the need for vaccinations against their own personal health profile. I see the rise of nascent authoritarianism as monstrous, especially in the light of the vilification, ostracism, shunning and defamation which seems to accompany it.
Hear, hear. And don't forget that our illustrious communist leader Trudeau also compared 'anti-vaxxers' (whatever those are) to racists and misogynists. What a divisive cretin.
Thank you, Monika. A wonderful enlightening piece. And for some reason, I am so happy to read you are 81 ! The older and wiser of us need to speak out. And for you, I imagine, it is all too close to home considering your lifetime. The parallels to witch trials, to the Inquisition, to the epidemics, to slavery, racism, Nazis, to McCarthyism, and all the rest... and now anti-vaxxers. It's so obvious to us, yet the ridiculous woke progressives who consider themselves superior in so many ways simply cannot see it.
I've lost many friends to Covid, and I don't mean the virus. The mass formation mob mentality that persecutes the scapegoat is innately a mentality of cowardice and arrogance. But I feel this is also a carefully curated global hypnosis, as you imply with identical messaging being heard around the world, as if reading from script. As many of these leaders are graduates of the WEF Young Global Leaders program, it seems the author of that script is clear.
So now what? While Covid restrictions ease in Britain and a changing of the guard establishes itself, it's just a pause to regroup and give the people a taste of freedom before the next onslaught. They, the globalist elite, have invested so much in their destruction of society to build a New Normal they are not going to turn back now. They're all in.
As another wise and revolutionary octogenarian, Jon Rappoport, says - Buckle up!

thank you! The only way to stop the tsunami of madness is to refuse to give in to it. And I see more signs of it every day...so I still have hope.
Indeed. I wake up every morning wondering if this is really real...
A brilliant parsing of the scapegoat expression and its relevance for today. Thanks Monika.
Very well written and thoughtful. It’s hard to believe that such times are upon us.
Well written, I agree and hope we don't reach the destination the worlds leaders are currently heading us towards.
That should be Javid. The automatic editor got in the way...
Right, thanks for the reminder. He truly is the worst PM Canada ever had...
