By now, most normal people have tuned out the constant stream of doom and gloom blaming everything from soaring suicide rates to chip shortages on the coronavirus.
What gets lost in the shuffle is that most of the systemic failures shaking Western society to its foundations aren’t attributable to the virus, not directly. They’re fallout from the concerted institutional response to the virus.
For almost two years, we’ve been tossed about in a swirling cycle of lies propagated by the the federal and state governments and their private sector partners.
- Two weeks to flatten the curve
- It’s just until ICUs get the manpower and equipment to keep from being overrun.
- Make that until the vaccine is out
- We meant until most people are vaccinated
- But you’re not fully vaccinated until you’ve had two shots
- And a booster
- Plus a second booster
And who could forget
- Masks don’t work.
- Actually they do, we just told a white lie to make sure hospitals get supplies.
- Never mind, they really don’t help.
- Except now they do.
The answer is that most people forgot all of the declarations, retractions, and contradictions above. Because none of it was meant to keep people informed and healthy. The point was to keep everyone in a constant state of cognitive dissonance, the better to demoralize them.
Another round of gaslighting began this week, when just after our betters announced the appearance of Corona-chan’s latest final form, they pulled another heel turn to declare that cloth masks don’t work, and the pandemic can’t be solved at the federal level.
Lots of folks on social media are celebrating this apparent reversal. They should be cautious about getting their hopes up. Our demented rulers have no incentive to stop playing mind games. They’ve run this play before–loosening restrictions, only to impose another sudden crackdown.
Pray, and get ready for chaos.
