Just reading the title I thought: right, it’s almost as though they planned it all out, the Patriot Act, the ritual humiliations at the airport, and being used to all of it, then the ridiculous and cruel policies during a bad flu season that apparently lasted — wait - it’s still ongoing. They never give back your freedom.
I firmly agree with all said, which echoes my convictions in Colonialism and The Post-Covid Era, a lengthy research article with a Part 2 section beginning with the following:
"The story of colonial warfare against Native Americans, and groups in many other nations, has parallels to the way common citizens have been treated in the “post-Covid era.” The manufactured emergency of the Covid pandemic has resulted in population reduction through biowarfare, internment, surveillance, rights that can be revoked on a whim or disregarded in practice, travel passes, and internalization of manufactured identities- all supposedly for our own good, enforced by a paternal state that treats us like children to “civilize” us."
My least favorite phrase became "in an abundance of caution." After 9/11, bureaucrats, large and petty, competed to erect increasingly stringent procedures. Their erections only grew larger as they got high on power and their sense of importance swelled. When I saw an airport worker struggling to cut open a box with a serrated plastic picnic knife, it was clear. We were all being abused in the name of our security, forced into increasingly uncomfortable positions by absurd demands. Resistance was tantamount to unpatriotic treason to the Homeland. Petty tyranny had won.
Well written, Dr. Kheriaty. I am sorry to say that the 9/11 "terrorist attacks" on the WTC have all the hallmarks of controlled demolition. Richard Gage set forth a plethora of evidence for this. https://richardgage911.org/
I might add from a different viewpoint this unfolds in the hour of Commuting Cubicle Precariat. Group think citizen propagandized by corporate speak and go with the flow are straight out of the man in the Grey Flannel Suit. For all the ballyhood social changes the constant is pursue a standard of living and vote. Not engage. Nor even drop out to create community. Once the Vietnam War ended until Central America little protest and after this more or less protest does - except for the Battle for Seattle - stir more over middle class issues than the Pentagon State.

Exactly right!

Lockdowns over a flu are never justified. There are other ways to attain health!!!
