I have been saying it all along, because it is obvious: the 'covid' scare, and the mass crackdowns in all their forms which have formed the far worse 'pandemic' of official reactions to it, have never had the least relation to any concern for public health. The truth or falsehood of any portion of the 'information' which has been circulated about a disease that probably does exist but which bears scant relevance to the reactions, has never been the point.
I have watched all my life as a spiraling yin-yang pair of forces close in on the entire human condition: surveillance, and compliance.
Surveillance to ensure compliance begets compliance to ensure surveillance, as the possibility of any kind of autonomous action or thought becomes all at once less available and more suspicious. Bypassing the rule of law altogether, not to mention even any rudimentary concept of personal liberties and the urgent need to uphold them, this vortex of surveillance and compliance closes ever tighter.
The time has long passed since there was any one force or faction which could claim any meaningful motive for this condition, as it has become the condition of the human species itself. As more and more things to fear come into all our purview, more and more fallacious and ineffectual means of relieving the fear come along in their wake, as more and more individuals feel they have no choice but to try each new antidote for the fear, even knowing all along that each one will in turn become just the next thing to fear. And so it continues.
'Covid' whatever the truth about it ever was (and we will never know), has just been basking in its short-lived status as the latest thing to fear, the latest fuel propelling the intensified expansion of surveillance and compliance, even while nobody really knows what the threats really consist of nor how all the surveillance might possibly mitigate them. The point is to comply for compliance's sake, and surveil for surveillance's sake, and let the results develop themselves by their own momentum. Keeping people safe from disease is little more than a silly cover story no one actually believes, but few dare to say so.
But now, international affairs as a whole, having been so traumatically destabilized and rendered ever more hazardous by the disease scare, have become both the latest antidote and the next thing to fear, and so more surveillance, more compliance, more surveillance for compliance's sake and more compliance for surveillance's sake, just gain even more momentum, appear more inexorable, and are offered even less self-respecting resistance from individuals than ever.
The point all along, and it has never mattered whose point because nobody is in charge, has been to eliminate the entire concept of the individual, and replace it with new generations for whom being under continual surveillance and having continual compliance demanded of them is all they have ever known.
The human species is now involved in the greatest cooperative joint venture in known history: the mass extinction of individual will or even any further capacity for it.
In the future the ants will walk on two legs and do only what they are told.
This process was going on long before those intentionally addictive, thoroughly invasive and entirely unnecessary devices began to appear in everyone's hands a few years back, but once they did, the process accelerated itself into a whole new order of magnitude, leading us all still further down the path to the next level: the comprehensive cybernizing of the human organism itself.
The tragedy is that all this has been entirely obvious and entirely predictable throughout history for generations. But not enough people believed it was incumbent on them as individuals to require the sustaining of their own will as a first prerequisite for each transaction or decision, and now we are here.
And making you sit back and calmly take a giant Q-tip up your nose for no good reason is far from the worst of it still to come. Around the time your toaster or kid's toy or doorknob or car's computer turn informer on you, just remember that at some point you each agreed to it, having convinced yourselves it was worth it, somehow. I hope it was, but I have my doubts and always have.
I just wish I knew why the most capable and autonomous species on earth has allowed itself to be reduced to this. I always thought we could do a lot better, but too few have decided to.
