“WE didn’t love freedom enough and even more — we had no awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves on one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure! (Arthur Ransome describes a workers’ meeting in Yaroslavl in 1921. Delegates were sent to the workers from the Central Committee in Moscow to confer on the substance of the argument about trade unions. The representative of the opposition, Y. Larin, explained to the workers that their trade union must be their defense against the administration, that they possessed rights which they had won and upon which no one else had any right to infringe. The workers, however, were completely indifferent, simply not comprehending whom they still needed to be defended against and why they still needed any rights. When the spokesman for the Party line rebuked them for their laziness and for getting out of hand, and demanded sacrifices from them — overtime work without pay, reductions in food, military discipline in the factory administration — this aroused great elation and applause.) We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Thanks for the quote from “The Gulag Archipelago”, which I started to read recently, and the parallels with the current world are uncanny.

As you know, many European countries with 70%, 80%, 90% of doubly (and sometimes triply) vaccinated people are having cases going through the roof right now. Of course, instead of making the perpetrators question the efficacy of their vaccines, they are doubling down and saying that the problem is caused by the “unvaccinated”, that the vaccine is “working”, and that when it reaches 100% it will all be well. Of course it doesn’t make any sense, it’s absurd. How can something “work” when cases are increasing instead of decreasing? How can something that does not stop “cases” (whatever that means) when used by 80% of the population, magically stop them when it reaches 100%?

Unfortunately, they will make it eventually mandatory, so it will not be possible for many people to escape, including myself. I think, or would like to think, perhaps because I will probably eventually be forced to take it at some point, that it’s not a “death jab”, just that it doesn’t work very well and it has possible bad long-term side effects.

I think that what they really want is to institute “vaccine passports” forever, so from that perspective, it’s ideal if it doesn’t work very well or for very long, and it has to be renewed every year or every six months, but that it also doesn’t kill the “customers”, well, at least not immediately.

For the record, I know people who have had this disease, and, whatever it is, it’s no fun and in some cases it can get serious. So I understand why people would choose to take the vaccine. What I don’t understand is the manic attitude of the authorities to force every man, woman and child (and zoo animals too, look for Pfizer’s Zoetis) into it. It just doesn’t make sense or even appear sensible.

I predict that, next year, even with 100% adults vaxxed, “cases will continue”, so they will blame the still unvaxxed children, and they will make it mandatory for all children too, from birth.

What they want is a 100% subscription model, with your name and your health data collected, and every six months, if you are not vaxxed, you won’t be able to participate in society in any way, and they might even take your (100% digital) money away.

Please pray for all those who will be forcibly vaxxed, including perhaps myself, including perhaps us all. At this point, I think it will eventually become mandatory everywhere, even if it has to be at the point of a gun. Perhaps it really is the “mark of the beast”… Why are they so adamant on vaccinating the whole world, otherwise?

Thank you for writing.

As you probably know, I do not believe this is a single illness  and not a single illness identifiable by the current PCR tests. The recent video by Dr. Sam Bailey is a good overview. I urge you not to speak of “cases” since anyone with pneumonia or the flu or a bad cold virus exacerbated by other illnesses is most likely labeled as a Covid-19 case. The tests are proven to be unreliable; after all, among other things they say that people who are not even sick have Covid-19. And who says “cases are going through the roof,”  the same media outlets that fanned the original hysteria? Please don’t listen to these liars.

Last that I checked, 27 states had passed laws banning vaccine passports. We are not Europe, fortunately.

Anyway, stay calm!

Thanks. I do apologize, I suppose I was a bit anxious the other day with this never-ending story, and little hope to be seen.

You are right, we cannot trust them in the number of “cases” now, anymore than at the beginning. That said, many countries are actually starting to make vaccines completely mandatory, on pain of huge fines and prison. Austria is the first. It won’t be the only one. Others in Europe will follow, and perhaps later Canada. I find it incredible that governments can now force the experimental product of big corporations on everyone, and very few people say anything. There are some protests, sure, but they seem to have little to no effect. The authorities keep blaming the “unvaccinated” with little evidence that the vaccine itself does much to stop the disease. They will make it mandatory for children, who are immune, too. See here.

I do think that they want to institute “health passes” and yearly mandatory vaccinations and a techno-totalitarian bureaucracy, basically forever, and it won’t be only about “Covid.” But I don’t know what’s going to happen. We must keep hope that things will improve.

Keep up the good work.

Please don’t apologize! We’re under constant psychological assault. Your reaction is understandable.

Things are bad out there. In Lithuania, you can’t even buy food in grocery stores if you are unvaxxed. In Italy, civil servants can’t work without the pass.

On the bright side, Quebec recently withdrew its mandate for health care workers so the possibility of a passport there seems nil in the short term. In Croatia, 100,000 people showed up at a protest this past weekend.

Agreed.
