Mercedes my recollections upon COVID was that it almost made Australia a prison state within itself. Firstly a persons right to what goes into their bodies medically with the right to say NO was frowned upon very much. I guess you did have that right to say no to some degree. The right to say no simply meant you lost job more so with those in the medical profession nurses or many in the government agencies. Many basic freedoms were taken from us with the stroke of a pen and much medical evidence was denied and condemned that went contrary to government policy . View attachment 12558. Considering that over 99 percent of people recovered it does make one wonder at harshness of the laws. Were the lockdowns really required perhaps in old people’s homes. Yes. But the rest of society could have functioned quite well. Considering the aftermath of mental issues and suicide caused by the isolation not all cope well with isolation so well . Along with many businesses that were destroyed mainly the small business sector. Big business seemed to do just fine. Covid was largely exaggerated very much. It is interesting that nearly all flu death tallies suddenly evaporated and were merged into Covid deaths in many places around the world. The tragedy and lesson that we should learn from all of this is just how easy it is to control and manipulate society under the guise of a virus. We can only hope that wiser checks are put in place and our democracies diligently evaluate the next epidemic more wisely and not rush to judgment so quickly.
Hi Prim,
Australia hunh?. Yeah we read and heard a lot about Australia. I mean after what I witnessed there I started to come accross deep research on Australia, your leaders were also just over eager (putting it mildly). I think at the time Australia and New Zealand were doing the most.
I learnt that in life, the best liars construct a narrative in which the lie holds. So for example, I would set up a scenario, with a beggar at the mall or somewhere. I would quickly tell that beggar to agree to anything I say so that I can film an interview with him in which he agrees to mention that he is my long lost cousin and I am giving him my car (which I would take away). Post this to social media and then boom, it goes viral. I could put a fake bandaid on my hand and video call my boss telling him why I cant make it to work.
Now that is next level lying. They constructed a narrative that forced you to adhere. That is manipulative, coersive and the whole nine yards. How do you tell someone if you dont sign here you dont eat - it eerily makes me think of the mark.
In short for me all of this was abuse, deception and all. I hate what was done. It was phycological warfare.
The lockdowns were... I have no words.
