Notable Quote – How Easily We Gave up Our Freedom?

It is extraordinary how easily people in the West embraced authoritarian lockdown measures. Governments must have been shocked how little resistance there was to their new laws.

In his infamous interview in the Times, Professor Neil Ferguson said they didn’t think they could implement a lockdown in the democratic West.

Referring to China, he said: ‘It’s a communist one-party state, we said. We couldn’t get away with it in Europe, we thought . . . And then Italy did it. And we realised we could.

If the democratic West would accept a Chinese-style lockdown, why would they not accept health passports? Obviously the makers of such passports think they will, otherwise they wouldn’t pour so much money into the idea. They are not doing this as a temporary measure; they’re in it for the long haul. ‘Digital certificates’ may be introduced, but that will be the foot in the door.

And then, we were told to wait for the vaccines. And we did! Trump started a “Manhattan Atomic Bomb” program called Operation Warp Speed – and we had three effective (and the first two, EXTREMLY effective and the third better than the normal flu one). And what are we hearing?

The “Health Experts” are NOW telling us that “Normality” is such a vaporous thing – that we may not “have” it for yet another year. Even if we “get there,” we should still be acting as we are now – social distancing, staying home, no to little visiting, stay out of restaurants,

Sidenote: FINALLY! One of the five local Chinese restaurants (my favorite cuisine!) opened up for dine-in. As TMEW and the Grandson went to visit the Youngest over the weekend, I went three times to satisfy a year-long hankering. Good time, good time…

No gatherings – just living so as not to die.

Some way to live, eh? Not a life at all. Health Tyranny…

Speaking of what, stay tuned – we have something for that – soon!
