In the face of a real threat to public health, provoking fear and panic in the population by exaggerating the risk is the last thing that competent, responsible authorities would do. And yet this is exactly what I believe we’ve seen since March last year, under the rubric of responding to COVID-19.
This radical departure from rational behaviour by state actors scarcely rates a mention in the corporate controlled media, which has actively promoted the fear campaign and its accompanying mass vax agenda.
The mask farce, which doesn’t completely protect against flu-like illnesses, but effectively impairs verbal and non-verbal communication, is emblematic of the antisocial, dehumanising, fear-promoting ethos that animates Cult Covid. The imposition of lockdowns, social distancing, mask mandates, mass surveillance, vaccine passports, these are the hallmark of tyranny, an affront to freedom and democracy.
