The Post-Partisan Emporium

So here we are, nigh on two years since all of this began, depending on your geographical location. A lot has happened over the past two years and a great many control mechanisms and divisive tactics have been enacted against the human population of this world. Where it ends, is anyone's guess but I'm willing to bet that it won't be what we think or to our liking. Over the course of this global operation (and for decades before), we have seen an attack on thought, logic, common sense, morals, history, science and the very definition of what it is to be human. We have been hypnotized by the media, the medical establishment (which long ago lost its soul and subjected itself to 'protocol') and coerced and threatened by our very own governments as they hurl their monopoly on violence towards the very people they claim to 'protect' and 'serve'. At which point does one have that "Whoa, that's not right" moment and begin to realiz...

A Pandemic of Bureaucracy TE Creus Some compare corona times to the novel  1984 , but I thought that perhaps Terry Gilliam’s  Brazil  could be an even more apt comparison. In that movie, the totalitarian nightmare is coordinated by bumbling and incompetent bureaucrats, who nevertheless never give up in their indefatigable pursuit of more paperwork. If there was one thing that this damn pandemic sure increased was bureaucracy. To travel, to meet people, or even to have a cup of coffee somewhere, anywhere, now you need to show your “papers” — or, at any rate, a QR-code in your smartphone. I traveled to Italy during the “first wave” of the pandemic — or was it already the second? It’s hard to recall, there were so many. At the time, the bureaucrats had invented some kind of contact tracing form that everyone needed to fill before boarding a plane, however there were four or five different forms available, and confusion reigned. People weren’t sure which form to fill or how t...

The Pernicious Pandemic Blinders Omar Khan A colleague of mine sent me the following from someone writing as “independent_journalism_”: “Among all the vaccines I have known in my life (diphtheria, tetanus, measles, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis, meningitis and tuberculosis), I have never seen a vaccine that forced me to wear a mask and maintain my social distance, even when you are fully vaccinated…I had never heard of a vaccine that spreads the virus even after vaccination. I had never heard of rewards, discounts, incentives to get vaccinated. I never saw discrimination for those who didn’t. If you haven’t been vaccinated, no one had tried to make you feel like a bad person. I have never seen a vaccine that threatens the relationship between family, colleagues and friends. I have never seen a vaccine used to threaten livelihoods, work or school. I have never seen a vaccine that would allow a 12-year-old to override parental consent. After all the vaccines I listed above, I have never...
