They’ve learned nothing from the disastrous, expert-driven eugenics craze, which began in America and ended at Auschwitz.
Less than 100 years ago, the United States of America practiced eugenics. The inventor of Kellogg’s cereal, John Harvey Kellogg, created the Race Betterment Foundation, dedicated to the proposition that bad genes create unworthy human beings. He should have stuck to his corn flakes.
Kellogg was joined by many experts. A pedigree register was created. A Eugenics Records Office was opened to track genetic traits. The office found that the people most unfit for reproduction were immigrants, minorities, and those living in poverty. The experts performed forced sterilizations in the thousands.
In 1927, the experts on the Supreme Court ruled that forced sterilization of handicapped people did not violate the Constitution. Oliver Wendall Holmes summed up the philosophy of the eugenicist when he wrote “...three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
The experts had spoken, and until World War II and the eugenics of the Nazis, the people were expected to be quiet and obey. After the eugenic experiments of Josef Mengele came to light, the experts admitted they were wrong about eugenics.
Still, as the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Today the experts are more sure of themselves than ever.

Not only CoVid, but everything!
I do listen.. to the science.
I don’t listen to their half-assed experts.
I grew up in Liberal MA where the school systems regularly pointed out the wisdom of Galileo the great scientist. He didn’t accept the official thinking. He asked questions. He figured out that the earth wasn’t the center of the universe (actually, he was just repeating Copernicus’s discovery). Galileo, we were told, was persecuted by the authorites who didn’t like new ideas or original thought. The authorities pushed religion and denigrated science. Such backward people!
Today, science means you don’t ask questions, you maintain faith in the authorities, and you support the persecution of anyone with new ideas.
It seems like deja vu all over again!

And by doing so, they have created a new religion.
“experts”
Right.
We never know who they are. They are just labeled as “experts” and we’re supposed to believe them, hook, line, and sinker.
Today far too many people have substituted faith in science for faith in God.
I know people who when scientists say….. even if it’s laden with if, should, might, probably, likely, etc, they swallow it as if it’s written in stone and handed down from Mt Sinai.
Another article posted in these last moments spoke to the danger of the collective "we." While only a generation ago "question authority" was a mantra, it is almost forgotten in favor of "belief" in Covid's "state agenda" experts, from wildly anomalous data to scary graphs to "caring" mandates.
Muggeridge reminds of this new "belief" evangelizes through its military-medical-media gospel of "fear" which is wiping away a gospel of "fear not," “If God is dead, somebody is going to have to take his place. It will be megalomania or erotomania, the drive for power or the drive for pleasure, the clenched fist or the phallus, Hitler or Hugh Hefner.”
So many clenched fists from which to choose the latest "experts."
I am the number one person responsible for my health. I am the final arbiter on all decisions affecting my health.
And....
There goes that “religion” exemption.
