REPUBLIC REBORN

Hard to believe what has transpired throughout much of the West over the past 15 months. What has happened amounts to a Ruling Class counterrevolution, a resurgence of primitive, totalitarian government. The world order has been altered permanently, and many nations appear to have descended into an irreversible authoritarianism. Ireland’s leaders are now using the “threat of variants” as an excuse to remain closed. I hope that Irish citizens understand that this will never end for them. The situation is identical in England, Ontario, along with others. These nations are lost, and I see no way out short of revolution.

I’ve gained a renewed respect and awe for the genius of the American Founders. Their system of trial-and-error federalism has created pockets of freedom in a deeply unfree world. Florida governor Ron DeSantis was, for a short while, the uncrowned leader of the free world. Others then followed his lead. Astonishingly, a handful of U.S. states remain citadels of freedom, showing the way out of the self-inflicted disaster that we brought upon ourselves last Spring.

I’ve hesitated to write much lately, mainly because there is just too much to write about. We’ve entered a new phase of the psychological plague that swept us up a year ago. While it does appear that a calm is settling in, and rationality returning, I have a deep unease that this resembles more an arrival at the windless, sunny center of a hurricane, rather than a complete emergence. A recent study estimates that one-third of small businesses will close permanently by August. The money printer is out of control, and we appear to be living out of the last days of a late-stage Republic. The dominant culture has become something so ugly, degraded, hollow, groupthink-driven, troglodytic, and self-righteous, that it appears unsalvageable. This cultural abyss is manufacturing a mass-mind that is not only incapable of independent thought, but is conditioned to viciously attack those who do hold heterodox opinions. Such a spiritual wasteland is a breeding ground for the worst character traits our species is capable of producing. The mass mind; the unrefined, intellectually and spiritually incurious, the base hedonist, the savage, calculating, amoral animal. Not everyone, not even most. I’ve also concluded that the majority of the human species is comprised of those who haven’t the character to form opinions or principles of their own, and exist adrift, allowing themselves to be pulled from this slogan to that, absently handing over their support and consent for various causes and creeds because there doesn’t exist within them the strength of character to object or resist. They don’t feel the concrete wall of contradiction that some do when confronted with bad ideas, or incarnations of evil.

These others possess something that I’ve come to internally refer to as the “instinct for liberty”. They may not be able to articulate it, or even know what to call it, but a small minority of people are possessed of a character trait that, unbeknownst to them, overrides all others. They see a sudden change of course in the direction of society, and every fiber of their being rebels against it. They have no choice but to oppose it. Whatever as-yet-understood force placed this instinct within us, I truly believe that the minority who do possess this instinct are the sole reason that the human race itself has achieved whatever modicum of progress since we climbed down from the trees and began wielding clubs against our would-be predators. Those who possess the instinct for liberty appear to be in almost total physical, intellectual, and spiritual rebellion against any movement back toward the jungle, toward primitivism, toward our animal origins. They sense where certain paths lead, and their very genetic makeup takes up arms against it. It’s the only way to describe the way that not only I felt over the past year, but the way I’ve seen others act. People who have never before wasted a breath on politics suddenly threw themselves fully-armed into the fray, swinging their weapons with full force. This happened everywhere, and to me it was even more shocking than seeing the masses submit to masks, lockdowns, and the COVID cult.

Shortly after spring break 2020, the serious talk of “lockdown” made me acutely aware that civilization itself could end very shortly. I feared that a total economic shutdown of more than a week or two would push our world past the point of no return. We would descend back into the sub-animal savagery that makes up the majority of our history as a species. I’m a little surprised that it didn’t happen, but I chalk it up to the fact that probably under one thousand people worldwide suddenly and virulently opposed the wild stampede toward a self-inflicted apocalypse. Those few people inspired millions, and the brakes were applied, and we averted total disaster. We were saved by this instinct that sits like a silent protector within the hearts of nameless individuals scattered across the globe. They’ve always existed, just as the destroyers have always existed. And they’ll rarely get credit or acclaim. They’ll fade back to their normal lives, and even they won’t realize the part they played in saving their own species from a self-inflicted extinction.

Regulatory capture, the phenomenon whereby the industry meant to be regulated ends up controlling the regulatory institution itself, is present within the CDC. They are not independent, as no regulatory agency could ever be. Their function now is that of providing intellectual and institutional cover for an enormous crime against young Americans, via the Moderna/Pfizer vaccines. Disband the agency completely. Replace it with nothing. If it can only cause destruction, confusion, and chaos during the outbreak of a new virus, then it has forfeited its very reason for existence.

The current CDC guidelines are so poor they would recommend a 15 year old boy who recovered from documented covid19 and who got pericarditis from dose 1 go on to get dose 2.

Can we pause a minute to contemplate how staggeringly negligent that is? https://t.co/lB8Sx4Af0u

This is devastating.

HEALTHY CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS ARE AT <>ZERO RISK OF DEATH FROM COVID. THEY DO NOT NEED THESE VACCINES. PERIOD.

AND ASKING THEM TO BE VACCINATED TO PROTECT THE ELDERLY AND UNWELL IS PROFOUNDLY UNETHICAL. https://t.co/dWKp59zNgG

Ask any random person how many kids they think died of COVID. The answer given is almost always in the range of thousands, or over ten thousand. So, when I tell them that only 118 children died of COVID in all of 2020, I could pretty much knock them over with a feather. I might as well have raised someone from the dead. I then show them the CDC COVID Disease Burden paper, and find this graph:

There is immediate denial, then incredulity, and then awe. Their perception of reality was so off-base that reality itself becomes disorienting. These reactions speak to the power of propaganda. Truth no longer matters when you can control someone’s perception of reality itself.

Only 118 pediatric deaths from the Doomsday Virus in all of 2020.

Every establishment narrative invariably is revealed to be a lie, and the COVID pandemic has been no different. Sure, we should be outraged at the cascade of news that reveal the lies, but surprised? I’ve said here for an entire year that it was all a lie, and now we’re seeing it. The effectiveness of lockdowns, of masks, the infection fatality rate, the safety of a fast-tracked mRNA vaccine, it has all been lies. Why does anyone fall for it anymore? It’s satisfying to see lies revealed, but never surprising.

To say that a lot has happened over the past month would be an enormous understatement. What we’ve witnessed is no less than the rapid disintegration of a civilization-shattering religious dogma. The rise and fall of a Heaven’s Gate-esque death cult that has appeared to very nearly drag the modern world into a new demon-haunted Dark Age. It grew so rapidly, and encompassed so many establishment institutions, that most people were never even aware of what had sprung up around them and within their minds. Infecting our local governments, schools, places of employment, nothing was spared from its influence. But it bore all the hallmarks of a primitive, atavistic, superstitious, witch-burning belief system. It’s formulation was perfect. Impending Armageddon, invisible demons floating through the air, specters of the possessed walking among us, forced conversion/punishment of heretics, it all spoke directly to the primeval animal lying dormant within us. That animal answered, in just the same way that we see it spring forth among acolytes of the various cults and splinter religions throughout history. The COVID pandemic response was built upon this sudden eruption of primitive emotions, but could only have done so if the pre-existing dominant culture was sufficiently meaningless, soulless, nihilistic. Those are the same character traits of the acolytes of every other cult, be it the Manson family, Heaven’s Gate, Jim Jones’ followers. They are all adrift, searching for meaning, and easy prey. We were all, in a sense, ripe for the picking. For the past 15 months, Thomas Carlyle’s words never left my mind:

“When the age of Miracles lay faded into the distance as an incredible tradition, and even the age of Conventionalities was now old; and Man’s Existence had for long generations rested on mere formulas which were grown hollow by course of time; and it seemed as if no Reality any longer existed but only Phantasms of realities, and God’s Universe were the work of the Tailor and Upholsterer mainly, and men were buckram masks that went about becking and grimacing there,–on a sudden, the Earth yawns asunder, and amid Tartarean smoke, and glare of fierce brightness, rises SANSCULOTTISM, many-headed, fire-breathing, and asks: What think ye of me?”

This, in essence, has been our experience. And we better thank our stars that we still stand on ever-solidifying earth, and that rationality is, by slow drips, returning. COVID hysteria is a wake-up call. We, the human race, must evolve or die. We won’t survive another resurgence of primitive drain-circling hysteria as we have just experienced. In our unreasoned fear of COVID, we very nearly brought doomsday upon ourselves. It would have been self-inflicted, a product of our imagination. But COVID-ism, or whatever it could be called, is receding, collapsing. It’s fading, and now we stumble out of a year-long fugue state, and wonder just what we’ve allowed to happen. Most will put it in the past, forget about it, and move on. But it should never be forgotten, because it functions as a warning. Our species is at a crossroads. We cannot go on as we have for the past century. It’s true that we have apocalypse written on our DNA, but we also have much, much more. We have a degree of free will that allows us to reject our programming, to build free institutions, respect the rights of each individual, to build and create. We have the ability to become better, but we must first choose to do so. Our nature seeks to build the Sun-worshipping, virgin-sacrificing, totalitarian State. We will always feel its pull, that voice out of our shadowed past that wishes to return. But we have the ability to reject it, to evolve. And the COVID pandemic has made clear that we must evolve, or we must die.
