hey
what about the climate catastrophe?
they have to leave room for that
And El Nino and the superolcanoes and more sunspot activities and more carbon dioxide to make mandatory lawns grow, removing the need for a whole lotta bullshit.
And,
And a good old threat of a nuclear holocaust made real by the ever crazy Islamic asses of iran
That doesn't seem to be creating enough fear mongering amongst the general polulace. It's not able to control them enough for the elites.
However, a more direct threat on people by attacking their health is far more effective than some vague climate emergency nobody is seeing any evidence for.
Besides, you can convince people there's a virus and it's deadly when you implement medical protocols that will kill people off and then blame it on the virus.
