Bully, Beg, or Bribe

Has there ever been a time in history, in any civilization, where the full court press has been applied to pressure the populace as much as we’ve seen with the recent propaganda to promote vaccinations?  The short answer of course is no. Recall that at the outset, a couple of weeks of sequestration and mask wearing would do the trick. To be safe, double masking was even better.  But then the fix moved from masking and distancing to a much more effective fix; vaccinations.  As luck would have it, a number of vaccine makers just happened to be working on a vaccine.

It’s been well over a year into the narrative that only vaccinations can save society from a less than 1% chance of death by flu and the vaccination urgency only gets stronger.  First it was the coercion approach, as in, “it’s not just for yourself, it’s also for your loved ones….like grandma; it’s the unselfish thing to do.”  Luminaries were paid to provide encouragement, because as we all know, if an actor or a ball dribbler says it’s ok, what’s there to worry about?  We even get to see politicians take the vax 3 or 4 times just for good measure.

Then it became two vaccinations.  Then a third ‘booster’.  We know a fourth one is on the horizon because, you know, variants.  But it was all for the greater good.

Then it was more invasive. If people weren’t vaccinated, they would be denied entry to public gatherings, restaurants and perhaps even to consort with family members.

Then it became state policy. If people didn’t get vaxxed, they would be dismissed from their jobs, denied the right to travel and move about, or jailed; effective tactics adopted from the North Korean model of persuasive and effective government.  The naive among the populace (and it turns out there are many more of them than you would expect from an educated society) fell prey to the fears broadcast to them every day on all media platforms a la Tokyo Rose during WW2.

They are even trying to bait people with honey rather than vinegar as the link above shows; Krispy Kreme is offering a donut for a jab. Just imagine if you were offered a donut for a circumcision. Some may recall that a long in the tooth singer once offered a sex act to anyone taking the jab.  In fact, brothels have taken to offering free ‘services’ to customers taking a jab, in essence, a poke for a poke. Given the choice, I suppose the donut is the safer incentive.

So they’ve used the carrot, the stick and the donut to convince people that vaccination is the way to go.  They’re paying you, bribing you, threatening you and cajoling you in every way to take a therapy which has accumulated a record of ill effects many times greater than any ill effects caused by the supposed pandemic.  Whatever happened to herd immunity?

Those paying attention may notice that, according to those who keep records, the vast numbers of the population have taken the vax and it’s only the marginal holdouts left that haven’t.  Yet, almost all of the new cases in hospitals are among those already jabbed. Anyone with a background in science or simple logic will know that one of two things is going on.  One is that the ‘authorities’ really don’t know what they’re talking about.  Or there’s the other option, which is more sinister; they do know what they’re doing…and it’s not about health.

 

 

The New Bureaucratic Masters

November 15th, 2021 1 comment

Imagine if weathermen had the power to influence your actions.  Upon predicting a big rainstorm, people will be obligated to wear heavy  waterproof gear and carry umbrellas.  Not doing so would increase the risk of slipping and falling and since the elderly are most at risk, they should be confined indoors until it’s all safe.  We’ll know it’s safe… when they tell us it’s safe.  Even able bodied people are at risk, so everyone needs to sport  nor’easters and wellies in the interim.  But likely only for a few weeks….at the most.

Anyone caught not appropriately attired would receive a fine, or in some cases, a beating if the cops are having a slow day. Not having the appropriate and approved gear precludes you from entering food establishments or mixing with the obediently clad.  This applies even if it were NOT raining because, you know, it might.  For as long as the omnipotent weathermen are expecting rain, everyone has to be appropriately clad in the prescribed gear.  As we know, airborne malaises can be borne by moist air; think of cholera and croup etc. Not to mention the horrible smell of wet dog that afflicts some people.  Until the danger passes then, society must be protected.

As in any emergency situation, there will always be those scofflaws that disregard the official edicts and gamble by allowing themselves to get wet. They will have a ridiculous rationale along the lines of, “people have been getting wet for centuries”.  Of course, this is just selfish behavior and only evident in the fringe deniers.

Sitting atop a pyramid of hundreds of regional weather authorities is the Head National weather Poohbah, whose decisions affect the activity of the nation. There is no authority on weather higher than him because….well just because.  As he rightfully points out, it is always raining somewhere and the restrictions can only be lifted once rain stops everywhere.  To add solemnity to the situation, statistics on the elderly dying are trotted out on a regular basis.  Had they not  gotten wet, they would have likely lived forever.

Suddenly schools are deluged with people aspiring to be weathermen because this appears to be the new power position in society. The best part of the gigs?  You can never be fired for being wrong.
