"The most dramatic narrative shift in this post-lockdown period has been the flip in the perceptions of government itself...
How deep is the corruption? There are no words to describe its breadth and depth. 

Who is regretting this? It’s the legacy news media, the legacy academic establishment, the legacy corporate establishment, the legacy public-sector agencies, the legacy everything, and this regret knows no partisan or ideological bounds. 

And who is celebrating this or, at least, enjoying the upheaval and cheering it on? It’s the independent media, the genuine grassroots, the deplorables and nonessentials, the pillaged and oppressed, the workers and peasants who were forced to serve the elites for years, those who have been truly marginalized through decades of exclusion from public life. 

No one can be sure where this ends up – and no revolution or counterrevolution in history is without cost or complication – but this much is true: public life will never be the same for generations to come."
- Jeffery Tucker, The Brownstone Institute

Good article. Well presented. I particularly like the para:

 

"Most governments in the world had come to be controlled by people no one elected and these administrative forces were loyal not to voters, but to industrial interests in media and pharma, while the intellectuals we had long trusted to say what is true went along with even the craziest of claims, while condemning dissent."

 

Covid!

 

Although it is somewhat of a turnaround, there are plenty out there who think we should have done restrictions, lock-downs, jabs stc,,,sooner. And I'm sure those same people would advocate for more of the same, when the dreadful WHO declares the next emergency.

 

However!

 

My take, is that the out-of-the-boxers and most independent outlets, are their own worst enemy. As far as covid goes; they are homing in on aspects - the seeds of which are often planted by those who want to retain the status-quo - that are reinforcing the whole rotten narrative. A lot of nit-picking out there! And all the while the alt-media are sicking to the idea/hoax/theory, that a virus is an entity that is not only real, but out to get us at every opportunity.

 

Well, I've got news for them. There is no such thing as a virus that can cause illness. A virus cannot be passed from one to another, to cause the receiver to get the same perceived problem.

 

We have to have this out. We have suffered enough at the behest of white-coats and money making interests.

 

My musings inevitably point to vaxxes. What is the point of them if there is no virus to conquer? The answer, is no point what-so-ever. The quicker the independent media get to grips with this, and promotes this view, the quicker respect will come along. And the quicker the whole house-of-cards will fall.
