Freedom In A Post-Covid World – OpEd

The Covid era cut through traditional ideological paradigms like knives on tissue. Nothing behaved as we might have expected. The civil libertarians were nowhere in sight. The courts did not work. Big business and media fully cooperated. The major religions caved. The national security state thrived, while both parties let it all happen. The population was mercilessly propagandized and pillaged with no resistance from the commanding heights.  Seemingly out of nowhere, pharmaceutical companies revealed themselves as more powerful than any industrial monopoly in human history, capable of shutting down the entire world in order to panic people into consuming their product.  As for the old distinctions between the public and private sectors, they melted away. The state did not save us from large corporations and the top layers in commercial society did not save us from the state. They worked together to strangle the liberty of everyone else. Which was the hand and which was the glove was unclear throughout. As for the politicians, they were almost entirely useless, fearful only to save their own lives and careers, shovel money to their constituents, and otherwise hide under their sofas. For the entire period, the protections we all assumed were there for our rights and liberties vanished, to be replaced by surveillance, censorship, mandates, subsidies, penalties, subterfuge, duplicity, deception, fake science, and nonstop psyops from agencies, media, influencers, medical associations, and screaming hacks from all corners. They recruited gendarmes from within the population to demand compliance and demonize non-compliance. Yes, it was Orwell come to life. On the other hand, it was a learning experience. It sets up those who care about freedom to reframe the argument and re-understand both the threats and the answers in a different way than before, one that is more realistic. The powers that be showed their hand, revealed their goals, and tested out their dystopian plans. The schemes are still with us but at least we know now what they are and what we might do about them. With some benefit of hindsight, and lessons learned from having lived through this, here is a suggested reframing of a pro-freedom outlook and agenda. 1. The Problem of Poisoning  We did not know it in the Spring of 2020 – though many OGs had their suspicions – that the lockdowns and ridiculous non-pharmaceutical interventions were all structured to pave the way for the pharmaceutical interventions. It was all about the vaccine all along, which is why the Great Barrington Declaration panicked the elites. It spoke of endemicity through natural immunity. The powers that be wanted only one solution, the shot, which is also why they took proven therapeutics off the market. The driving engine of this industrial project was the pharmaceutical companies and their new toy: mRNA shots. Untested, experimental, and dangerous, they held out huge potential for infinitely scalable distribution. Covid was the industry’s chance to gain a foothold since the technology had not previously been approved. The emergency provided the pretext to unleash the product on the population. No, it did not fix the problem and it caused unprecedented injury and death but an industrial taboo had been broken. Now the essential work is to normalize it and apply it ever more broadly as the fix for every malady. Watching this unfold, other sectors have come under suspicion such as the food supply. Agriculture is similarly afflicted with chemicalization via cartels, including industrial pesticides for which the industry is currently seeking legal immunity for harms caused. Patented products for fertilizers and genetically modified seeds are without precedent in the history of farming, even as traditional methods are legally deprecated and prohibited. We are once again being treated as lab rats in their experiments. The partisans of whole foods, raw milk, free-range chicken, and grass-fed beef are being treated like thrown-back anti-vaxxers who do their own research and reject The Science. The narrative, the demonizations, the solutions: there is a direct analogy between the supposed cure for Covid and the cure for hunger. Both depend on chemical, pharmaceutical, and medical means to provide what should be entirely natural and born of tradition and human experience. Both are contributing to ill health. Just as we were warned of disease and death without Covid shots, we are being warned of coming famines unless we give these companies more legal privileges. The trans issue too is essentially about an ideology of malleable sexuality backed by a lifetime of drugs, without which the entire illusion of changing gender would be impossible. You can render the seeming “culture war” behind this entire movement as nothing but another pharma scam. The goal is always the same: power and profit. Nothing changes about the motive. Only the means by which they are realized mutates in the course of time. With growing noncompliance, the push for more mandates is ramping up. The pharma-funded American Academy of Pediatrics now demands nationwide mandates for what more families these days are convinced has harmed their children. It’s no longer a stretch to say we are being systematically poisoned. This is being covered up, as any researcher who reveals the truth is banned from the journals and censored. This is not only about our bodies; it’s also about our minds. Speaking of which: one in three kids and some 65 million adults are on psych meds that are not really medications offering cures but chemical methods of sedation that hobble the brain or create the illusion of hyperfunction. Even as the war on illicit drugs ramps up, licit means of chemically lobotomizing the population are on the increase and called science. Step one: recognize the problem and methods. Step two: say no. 2. Biological Imperialism Notice that all the above deal with invasions to the human body and mind via science and labs, all backed by hugely powerful industries that work directly with government. For the theoretically minded who seek to understand the bigger picture – in order to satisfy the taste for a big Hegelian theory to comprehend the unthinkable – we turn to Dr. Toby Rogers and his fascinating historical map. Back when land and treasure were the hunted resources, great empires rose up to invade, pillage, and plunder for fun and profit, resulting in massive human suffering and carnage. The frontier was not all bloody; it inspires explorers and freedom seekers to discover and create. In the 21st century, the frontier in land is gone and no part of the earth is undiscovered and unexploited. Where does the ruling class turn now? Mars is a stretch. The more immediate answer is cheaper and more accessible. It turns inward on its own people, toward the human person and his mind and body. This creates the conditions for what Dr. Rogers called biological imperialism. It deploys the same methods as the empires of old but has a different target in mind: ourselves, our families, our neighbors. Whereas conquerors of old needed only to show up with ships and armaments, the new empire has to seek cooperation and volitional adoption. That requires propaganda and a cover. Old empires rallied around king, country, and faith; the new bioempire celebrates science and laboratories. These are the faiths of our age so it makes sense that they would serve as the essential cover. The business model is to offer the cure that makes people sick which requires another cure that makes people sick, in endless rounds. More and more potions and services are nothing but fixes for the previous botched fixes. It’s iatrogenesis as a p...
