REPUBLIC REBORN

If you read only one article on Bill Gates, the Grayzone Project’s piece, Why the Bill Gates global health empire promises more empire and less health, is it. Rather than a “health expert” and philanthropist that so many corporate news outlets have labeled him, he’s shown to be a run-of-the-mill uber-rich thug, preying on vulnerable Third World populations with unproven and unsafe pharmaceuticals, buying up corrupt Third World governments on the cheap, all for the benefit of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Life finds a way.

This also means, of course, that Pharma has lost a market in these areas. No need of vaccines, masks, or lockdowns in these areas. Nature is taking its course, inoculating entire populations in spite of our government’s dangerously inept attempts to stop it from occurring. Herd immunity within months.

Mandatory mask edict issued by giddily authoritarian city council, to be reviewed in November.

Group of concerned Norman residents, Unite Norman, will file a petition to recall mayor Clark, along with the city council itself, over their outrageous handling of COVID hysteria.

I could better understand the attitude behind mask mandates if they occurred back at the end of March. But now, after we’ve learned so much of COVID’s mildness, there’s no excuse. Will these mandates be used to force a vaccine upon a population that would otherwise never be injected? Most people would only take the vaccine if they had something to gain, which would be the prospect of being freed from mask wearing.

Masks, and the pandemic itself, are increasingly becoming a form of theater utterly detached from reality. Many people, too many, have developed a psychological dependence on engaging in it, and so they ignore reality and continue to believe that COVID-19 is some kind of risk that deserves a unique amount of attention. It doesn’t. Deaths are falling even as positive cases are rising. This indicates that we are heading straight for natural herd immunity, which one would think would be a fact celebrated by all those who supposedly care about the health of the population. Rather than wait around for a dangerous and ineffective RNA vaccine, greater numbers of US citizens are being inoculated daily with the most effective COVID-19 vaccine we’ll ever encounter: COVID itself. The pandemic is over, but our political leaders are still capable of doing an enormous amount of damage before they’ll admit that fact. They’d prefer to force us to take part in a pandemic farce for years.

I’ve followed this story for months, and now it appears to have come to a tragic end. Broadway star Nick Cordero, aged 41, has died. He was first diagnosed with pneumonia, but immediately put into a medically-induced coma and a ventilator once he tested positive for COVID-19. After over a month on the ventilator he developed holes in his lungs, and repeated lung infections, a side effect of ventilator use. This story is so tragic because his ordeal probably did not have to happen. Holes in the lungs is a result of ventilator use, as are myriad infections. If financial incentives came into play in the decision to place him on a ventilator, then someone needs to go to prison. So do the idiots who incentivized hospitals to use ventilators on COVID-positive patients. Cordero was young, and left behind a young wife and baby.

The politicized and opportunistic reaction to COVID-19 ranks among the greatest crimes in history. The entire world went stark raving mad, and governments seized upon this unique historical moment to rob their respective populations of their wealth and their liberty. Civilization will probably never recover from what has happened.

It was only a matter of time. Many warned that these violent nutjobs, that repeatedly attack moving cars, would end up killing someone. The mayor now plans to break up the mobs. One wonders why she waited until a death occurred to do so.

For the clip, skip to 22:56 in this episode of Ron Paul’s Liberty Report:

Fauci’s body language is that clip is all you need to see: he knows mask-wearing is a farce, a charade. He appears to want to rip his mask off and toss it in the garbage. That is what we should all be doing.

Everything that we have lived through over past four months, everything that we’ve allowed our government to do to us, is stark, blinding proof that there is nothing undergirding our liberty in this nation. The principles of liberty are taught nowhere, rarely passed on, and rarely discussed in any meaningful sense. The ease with which the public, all of us, swallowed the COVID propaganda, even after two decades of ridiculous War on Terror lies, should make us feel ashamed. There is nothing at all shielding our freedom from total annihilation. Look at how easily it was taken, all in one bite, by various petty tyrants, bureaucrats, and medical officials. We all jumped in line, put on our masks, and behaved as if we had been preparing for this moment all our lives.

In many ways, we have. Tyranny is the default state of the human race. It takes a real education to understand the principles that provide the foundation for civilization. But those principles, no longer taught, are no longer there. Nothing has been passed on. Our history has been reduced to simple, easily digestible, caricatures. Mindlessness has in fact been encouraged. Through public schooling, our primitive, tribal nature has been cultivated, ready to spring forth and unleash a prehistoric destruction upon the world.

We, as a species, are running on fumes. To be perfectly honest, liberty is dead in this nation. It’s been dead for awhile, but it took a phony pandemic for us to see the extent of the rot. What is there to do? Nothing more right now than to acknowledge our failure.  Then to walk out into the field, put hand to plow, and actually go to work, knowing full well that it will be a less-than-thankless task. There will be no reward for us. And we do not deserve one. We will work to rebuild the tradition of liberty so that our children and grandchildren won’t have to. So they won’t have to face the nightmare of totalitarianism that is rapidly rising before our eyes. As we cower.

The Libertarian Party has been so spineless that it might as well not exist. The hundreds of millions of dollars poured into various “libertarian” foundations and think tanks have been a complete waste. Worse than that, the money has done more to discredit the philosophy of liberty rather than advance it. It’s funded unprincipled, yet clever, boneheads without the character necessary to advance this philosophy in the face of adversity.

The most effective communicators are the ones with the inner passion to defend this philosophy. They put their necks on the line, engage in debates, and refuse to give ground in the face of the resurgence of the primitive total state. And for the most part their paycheck isn’t tied up with their liberty activism. Money has destroyed the liberty movement. In a sense, it too is running on fumes. We can’t look to PhD’s, or white collar dilettantes to save us. There is no hero, no Messiah coming up the road.

Endless books on the topic of liberty are printed and sold every year. What good has it done? A flood of articles too are published each year. Again, what good?

It is shameful to think of what has been allowed to occur. 40 million people thrown out of work by decree. Trillions in debt saddled onto our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. It is painful to think on. We are kicking more than just debt down the road. Do we want our kids and grandkids fighting the ideological war for liberty, the one that we should be fighting right now? To have young children during this historic epoch where the social world degenerates rapidly into a primitive totalitarianism, multiplies the shame. We’re allowing a prison to be built that will pull them in, along with their future, their happiness, their very lives. The evil is allowed to bloom because we stand by and do nothing, hoping someone else will. No one is coming to save us. But if you’re breathing, you have a voice. You can add it to others. The rise of the State is not inevitable, even though it wishes you to believe as such.

We have nothing to celebrate today. It should be a day of mourning, a day of shame. But also a day of hope. Liberty can return, but it will take an army of thinkers, writers, activists, planners, and everyday renegades to bring it back. This will not be easy. We have been taken deep into Hell, and there is no easy way out.

“Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way for himself if society is sweeping towards de­struction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. No one can stand aside with unconcern: the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.“

-Ludwig Von Mises
