18. ALL OF THE ABOVE
That’s a loaded question.
Genocide.
How about the daily death counts? Sure do miss them.
Yes...
All the above
YES!
All of the above!
Seems the motivations might have been different.
Wreckage of liberty.
yes
At some point getting your child to eat his green beans goes from trying to get him to do something that you believe is good for him to a misplaced test of wills.
The first, getting him to do something you think is good for him is not necessary and misplaced. He will eat what he needs to eat when he gets hungry and especially when he gets nothing else or you provide only good food to eat and no junk choices.
The second item, a test of wills is foolish on your part, just not a good thing to start at all. Random object lessons are meaningless and just show ignorance. Only a fool enforces something that has no good reason other than, “I said so.”
I am closer to the sordid affair than I want to be. It really boiled down to, “You will obey me.” Nobody high enough up was brave enough to say no. It starts at the top and the top is rotten. The rest just follow. Until that day in August of ‘21 that plugs chided our society to eat or green beans there was still a bit of reason, choice and liberty involved in the jab issue.
You probably can’t make O-6 without marching in a straight line. A perfectly straight line and you give up choice outside the terms. In today’s woke and directionless military few above O-6 have respect from below. They manage upward much better than they manage downward if they manage downward at all. It is the same in corpocracy.
This has been a very sad chapter for our nation. It is not over but the military seems very anxious to sweep it under the rug as if it never happened. At least some are ashamed of themselves I think.
At the top the motivation is money and control. No less and certainly no more.
Scary, but probably on target list!
You’ve said it in different words, but I’d call it an opportunity to advance totalitarianism in the US, which is essential to their vision but very difficult to do in the absence of an extraordinary event. Another example would be the shutdown of air travel and military presence after 9-11.
Fear is the best way to get people to follow government orders without question, and that is nirvana for the deep state.
All the above but the liquor store stayed open?
1. Scare tactic to get more people vaccinated.
2. Control tactic. Letting us know who’s in charge.
3. Cooperation Test.
4. To use for future lockdowns and pandemics to rig elections via mail-in voting.
(Rigging elections via mail-in voting should be its own item.)
Not 5, 6, and 7
8. Shorten the lifespan of the population.
10. Money.
11. Reconstruct the medical establishment.
12. Establish Tyranny.
13. To establish vaccine passports.
14. Purge patriots and free thinkers from the military.
15. Destroy the middle class.
16. To establish mass social conditioning.
Not 17. I don’t think God was running this show; Satan was.
18 (NEW). Dry run for anything and everything they’re planning to hit us with in the future.
1. An overwhelming political interest in showing the world that They Know Better. All the worldwide powers that be. They need to be significant, they need to have the Answer, they want us all in their moral debt. Those who questioned it got swept up in the tidal wave of those who decided unquestioningly that it was Best.
2. Covering their butts for being involved in illegal and immoral gain of function research with graft, bribery, corruption, and conspiracy involved at various levels.
3. Actual fear of the virus as propaganda was being spread far and wide. Actual mass hysteria/psychosis.
4. An incredible opportunity to make unimaginable sums of money.
5. And an opportunity in the USA to further divide us politically. Divide and conquer.
6. A flex. It is fun to have that much power over people.
Later on, are you going to compile a comprehensive list based on all FReepers’ input? There are some really great issues here.
