At the same time, political actors are fully aware that these conditions of fear and panic provide a critical opportunity that can be exploited in order to pursue political, economic and societal objectives. It is very likely, however, that the dangers posed by the potential exploitation of Corona for broader political, economic and societal objectives latter far outweigh the immediate threat to life and health from the virus. A lesson from recent history is instructive here.
It may be that, as British journalist Peter Hitchens has been warning, the loss of liberty and basic rights will continue indefinitely as governments greedily hold on to their increased powers of control over their citizenry.
quote
The lesson of 9/11 is that major events can become what scholar Peter Dale Scott describes as deep events which are exploited by political actors in order to precipitate and manage major political, economic and social shifts. 9/11 became, in effect, the deep event that enabled 20 years of unfettered Western warfare abroad and severe civil liberty restrictions and extensive surveillance at home.

It's not about the virus. It's about power and control. After 18 months of this the entire population has been conditioned and trained.
No more free shopping, talking, or free anything else. Do what you are told when you are told, buy what you are told when you are told. Go where you are told when you are told.
And it's pretty hard to mount a resistance in groups of 5 or less.
And it's pretty hard to mount a resistance in groups of 5 or less.
But as History has shown, it can be done, and quite effectively. People only follow the rules until they decide not too.
I'm voluntarily cooperating at the moment because I believe the current hypothesis. But that could change. I will never abandon my right to choose.
Individually, we all get the last word on what we will and will not submit to. In the end everyone draws their own line of where they believe freedom ends and tyranny begins.
The weighted question is, how much personal responsibility do we feel individually toward the health & well-being of our family, our neighbors, our countrymen, or even the World? And given the right circumstances, how fast we decide to shorten that list drastically...
I too, laughed when I saw that. The writer is known as "The conspiracy Theory Professor" and it isn't because he debunks such childish beliefs.
He was the Chair in Politics, Society and Political Journalism at Sheffield University but left this post and the university in 2019 after he was accused by academics of promoting conspiracy theories and of “having no interest in truth or justice.”[3][4]
Robinson has said that he believes significant aspects of the official narrative concerning the 9/11 terror attacks are likely to be incorrect. He has said that he has not seen persuasive evidence to implicate the Russian government in the poisoning of Sergei Skripal.[3] He often appears on Russia-backed channels such as RT and Sputnik News.[3]
He writes his stuff for a specific gullible demographic to inhale and wallow in. Probably makes good $$ doing it too.
"Tyler Durden" on Zero Hedge is a "rotation" of 3 irresponsible chuckleheads: Colin Lokey, Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian former hedge fund analyst, and Tim Backshall, a 45-year-old credit derivatives strategist.
The "Zero Hedge" website is also registered to Arx Anstalt in Liechtenstein

It's always the most gullible people with the lowest IQs that get their "authoritative news" from idiots on the internet that won't identify themselves, that all use the same name of a character from a movie....... and post on a foreign website.
YUP...sure seems "reliable"....

Ad hominem arguments. Anything substantive that y'all can say?

Not sure 'ad hominem attack' is applicable in this case, as we are not attacking you, and the source has been proven over time to have little credibility in such matters.
There is no point discussing, or arguing over non-credible 'issues'.
