Civilizational Suicide, Not Omicron, Is Killing Us

Emergencies justify emergency powers, and emergency powers mean that you can push ahead with your agenda on all fronts.

Last week in this space, I included a few words about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s remarkable new book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health. I also included a link to Kennedy’s appearance on “Tucker Carlson Today.”

It was a remarkable exchange and I commend both the book and the interview to your attention. I disagree with Kennedy about various things, including the efficacy of vaccines in general, but his assessment of the highest-paid employee of the federal government, Anthony Fauci, is worth the price of admission.

As I remarked a couple of weeks ago, I thought I had done writing about COVID. Surely, I thought, the hysteria is on the wane. Most people are rational. They know that the flimsy porous masks you see everywhere are useless tokens of conformity. They understand that the disease is serious for only a tiny part of the population. They also know staying home and practicing “social distancing” has its own liabilities, not least of which is a diminution in the potency of one’s immune response.

Those are a couple of my favorite quotes you gave above.

The left tries to live in the world they wish it to be and the right lives in the world that is.

Neurotics build castles in the sky, psychotics live in them.

And that just shows liberalism really is a mental disorder.

It may herald the end of the WuFlu epidemic but it certainly does NOT foreshadow the end of mandates. The Green Crisis is sure to spawn some of its own, initially connected to the WuFlu hysteria. Perhaps WuFlu will be discovered to be a direct result of Gloobal Warming.
