“Virus # 26” : Director’s Cut : Chapter 15 “Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs: Obedience and Fear”

One of the best ways to control a population is through fear and it is even better when it involves their life. Stalin had executions and Siberia. Mao and Pol Pot had re-education camps. Canada had the residential school system. In this case the cause of your death if you were not obedient was soldContinue reading ““Virus # 26” : Director’s Cut : Chapter 15 “Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs: Obedience and Fear””

“Virus # 26″ Director’s Cut: Chapter 13:”Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs: the Politicos”

The politicos at first glance seemed to be managing the COVID outbreak. Sadly the inability of the medical systems to handle the initial wave was a result of continual cuts made to the medical systems by the politicos. That meant less PPE and less front-line medical workers, no vaccine or anti virals and in effectContinue reading ““Virus # 26″ Director’s Cut: Chapter 13:”Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs: the Politicos””

“Virus # 26” : Director’s Cut: , “Lessons Learnt From the COVIDs: The Cult of the Front-Line Worker”

There are the medical professionals and politicians who form the top of the pyramid in the COVID narrative but there are also grocers, gas station attendants, bus and taxi drivers and a whole host of people in “essential businesses” that remained open throughout the COVIDs. Hey I was one of those front-line workers as aContinue reading ““Virus # 26” : Director’s Cut: , “Lessons Learnt From the COVIDs: The Cult of the Front-Line Worker””

“Virus # 26” Director’s Cut: Chapter 11: “Lessons Learnt from COVIDs: The Failure of Social Distancing”

During the COVID-19 waves there was a politico-medico obsession with social distancing to the extent failure to adhere to it could result in warnings from COVID-19 “police forces”, fines, imprisonment and of course the dressing down given by “outraged” municipal, state, provincial and federal governments. These dressing down tantrums were as tedious as the propagandaContinue reading ““Virus # 26” Director’s Cut: Chapter 11: “Lessons Learnt from COVIDs: The Failure of Social Distancing””

“Virus # 26”; Director’s Cut: Chapter 10 “Lessons Learnt from COVIDs: Propaganda’s Effect”

In the guise of a never-ending flow of “public service” messages Canadians were bombarded with an incessant stream of propaganda. Propaganda is primarily a tool of totalitarian governments to maintain control of its citizens. The volume of it will dim independent thinking. However, at some point it just becomes noise and has little effect ifContinue reading ““Virus # 26”; Director’s Cut: Chapter 10 “Lessons Learnt from COVIDs: Propaganda’s Effect””

Virus # 26” Director’s Cut: Chapter 9 “Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs; People Can Be Such Amoebas”

At least a toddler has some power of rational thought including the power to stand up to parental dictatorship. That may manifest itself in stubbornness, anger or temper tantrums hence the expression “terrible twos”. The overwhelming majority of the population sucked up the steady stream of propaganda shoved down their throats by advertisements from theContinue reading “Virus # 26” Director’s Cut: Chapter 9 “Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs; People Can Be Such Amoebas””

Virus # 26 Director’s Cut: Chapter 8 ” Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs; People Were Treated Like Toddlers”

Now if you have raised children when they get to the terrible twos and have started their growth into toddlerdom you find constant repetition is necessary to correct their behaviour. Keep drilling the message in. In political terms it amounts to parental dictatorship. From the Canadian perspective the COVIDs exposed provincial and federal governments asContinue reading “Virus # 26 Director’s Cut: Chapter 8 ” Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs; People Were Treated Like Toddlers””

Virus # 26:  Director’s Cut:” Chapter 7 “Was Reopening Premature?”

From a traditional medical perspective re-opening the economy repeatedly during the COVIDs was an error of huge magnitude. But the medico perspective coming from upper middle-class physicians far removed from the economic realities of the working class and small business owners not surprisingly failed to account for job losses caused by the closure of businessesContinue reading “Virus # 26:  Director’s Cut:” Chapter 7 “Was Reopening Premature?””

“Virus # 26: Director’s Cut: Chapter 6 “Why COVID’s Nasty Success’

We have discussed the origins of the various waves of COVID. Why then did it enjoy such a nasty success? The highest kill rate per capita was in just about any country without a socialized medical system or a system that had simply crumbled over the years. Africa, South America, India and Pakistan are primeContinue reading ““Virus # 26: Director’s Cut: Chapter 6 “Why COVID’s Nasty Success’”
