The closures of economies led to the wiping out of smaller businesses. The effect was mass unemployment and the stranglehold by big box businesses. This created enormous anxiety amongst the working population in Western countries that were already living on the edge with a huge debt to income ratio. Yes there were governmental programs thatContinue reading ““Virus # 26 Director’s Cut” : Chapter 18 “Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs: Collateral Damages : The Death of Employment””

“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 : “Virus # 26” “Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs: the Medicos”
Thank goodness the medicos did not run the show during COVID times. You must remember their whole moral fabric is to “save lives” or was it to peddle worthless vaccines kissed by “medical respectability”? The medicos were used by the politicos to terrify the population in an effort to stem the tide of COVID casesContinue reading ““Virus # 26” : Director’s Cut : “Virus # 26” “Lessons Learnt from the COVIDs: the Medicos””
“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 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’”
