📖 👉 Brief: The emergence in 2020 of the Coronavirus (or Covid-19) and the putative dire implications for us all of its unchecked spread and virulence caught most people on the planet off guard. For a variety of reasons, this development signalled an epochal turning point for the global political economy, for our society and humanity. Greg Maybury gets up close and personal with the ‘pox’, reflecting especially on the ‘popular delusions and madness of crowds’ attending it, and the agendas of those purporting to manage the crisis in our best interests. In this context, he offers a more off-piste perspective of the forces driving us to a destination almost certainly will not be to our liking. To the extent they’ll even have the freedom to reflect on such, it will likely leave our descendants wondering why we let it get to this point. And despairing at our stupidity, ignorance and complacency in doing so.

A Blood Poisoning of the Body Politic (Foul Deeds Arising) 

In an early essay “Symbols of Transformation”, archetypal ‘poster-boy’ of the collective unconscious Carl Jung noted:

👉 ‘There’s no adequate protection against psychic epidemics, which are infinitely more devastating than the worst of natural catastrophes. The supreme danger which threatens individuals [and] whole nations is a psychic danger.’

Though history is littered with the mortal remains of the countless victims of such dangers, it’s hard to recall a period in recent times where Jung’s insight into the ‘human condition’ has carried such portent.

The much-touted microbial perils aside for now, arguably not since September 11, 2001 have we experienced such sweeping psychic contamination of the global body politic implicit in Jung’s maxim as with the emergence of the Coronavirus (or Covid-19). Both events were game changers: disparate to be sure, yet ‘transformative’, both have underscored the man’s insight in spades and shovels. It informs much of what follows.

With uncertainty, fear, anxiety, suspicion, hysteria, intolerance, paranoia, and incipient panic in the ascendancy, infecting ever more deeply our already ‘overloaded’, much put upon psyches, and some of our most basic, hitherto presumed freedoms and liberties abruptly curtailed or suspended ostensibly for the greater good (by some earnest accounts, temporarily), all of us have been affected in some way. For the most part and for most people, this has not been in a good way. The true calculus of the effects will be some time in coming, if in fact, we can expect such.

(See here, here, and here for just a few examples of the widely reported mental health impact of Covid and its attendant insanities.)

Irrespective of whether one views Covid (and mooted mutations thereof) is

a) as bad as we’re told it is or could be;

b) [as] real an existential threat to humanity as our established and establishment sources of news and information would have it; or

c) whether it is even real at all*…

…it is the all too human propensity for irrational thought and illogical action that gives rise to the psychopathology implicit in Jung’s assessment. (*See here and here for further information.) This is decidedly the case when such propensities are combined with our easy willingness to accept prima facie the proclamations of our ruling elites, fuelled as they are by their own hubristic agendas, almost all of which are fiercely echoed and mirrored by their news and information intermediaries. This recalls that indelible couplet via Hamlet: ‘Foul deeds will rise, Though all the earth o’erwhelm them, to men’s eyes.’

…Indeed, there’s credible evidence the virus was not a naturally occurring phenomenon, but man-made. (This being the case, we can draw but one conclusion from it.)

…For his part British philosopher John Gray made this pertinent observation:

👉 ‘When belief systems are contradicted by facts, beliefs are rarely renounced…More often they’re reinterpreted and thereby reinforced. Humans are more interested in preserving an internally coherent worldview than in testing their view of things against events. Nearly always, faith trumps facts.’

…It is said: ‘Never let a good crisis go to waste…’. Putting aside the inherent ambiguity of this trope and the fact that the precept itself has been doing the rounds for some time in one form or another, it not by chance shoehorned itself into the political lexicon in the wake of 9/11. Yet the subtext of this meme was then and remains now: ‘if we get tired of waiting for one to show up, go the extra mile and have one tailor-made and fit-for-purpose…’. 

Picturing the Prince (The Ballad of ‘Bogus Bill’) —

We shall return to these broader themes later. But any meaningful discourse of Covid requires us to critically examine the integrity of the main architect of the existential milieu in which we find ourselves and where unto we have been suddenly thrust. For those looking into our current malaise (how did we get here?), it is to Bill Gates and the Bill & Melinda Gates (BMG) Foundation we must turn our attention.

In reference to his much-touted philanthropic endeavours, James Corbett of The Corbett Report is one who’s nailed the essence of Gates and his deeper motives, and dared to challenge the accepted narratives of the public relations exercise which has crafted then attended them. For those who haven’t seen this expose, suffice to say there are many takeaways, most of which may be difficult to digest for those disinclined to doubt. But essential viewing it is.

Along with being an admirer of the man’s work, it’s worth noting I’ve rarely seen Corbett as animated as he has been about the Covid agenda. This in itself is a most telling observation, Corbett a man who is otherwise composed, measured, and in command of his ‘brief’. From Microsoft to microbes of the life-threatening kind, from viruses of the digital to the less metaphorical variety, the man’s own finely tuned doubt antennae have rendered us a compelling portrait of Gates and his backstory, along with the myth, his agenda, and his ‘business model’ for humanity…

(#👀 Author’s Note: For many this whole exercise is more about facilitating massive transfers by stealth of wealth up the food chain and collecting equally massive amounts of personal data, the latter having little to do with protecting public health and everything to do with exploiting said data for profit and other, some as yet unknown, and certainly undeclared, purposes.)

To be sure, this purportedly philanthropic—and on its face off-piste—career ‘redirection’ for one of the world’s richest and most ruthless of capitalists had many folks reassessing their views of the man. After experiencing a ‘come to me Lord’ moment, Gates had recalibrated his values, mended his ‘wicked’ ways’, and set out on the long road to redemption, one which he presumably felt would, like St Paul, lead him to a higher moral ground and a ‘salvation’ of sorts.

…Yet to coin an apt phrase, one must be ‘beware of geeks (sic) bearing gifts’. 

To reiterate, there are many who didn’t buy Bill’s ‘bill of goods’ from the off, and remain consistent still; as noted even more now are, if not rejecting it outright, applying suitable mechanisms of doubt. Put simply, we didn’t need to wait for the test results back from the lab to tell us there are (ahem) rodents in the ratatouille. Others doubtless are experiencing a chronic case of ‘buyers’ remorse‘.

For those doing so, the Covid agenda has revealed in varying degrees Gates’ apparent Damascene conversion all those years ago to all-round good guy, the prince 0f the pathogenic epoch—in his case, the penultimate humanitarian of our age, who makes John D Rockefeller look like a curmudgeonly ‘scrooge’ even after his not dissimilar re-baptism back in the day—as a fraud, a chimera of charitable intent.

Few people though one imagines have transformed the act of giving away their (ahem) ‘hard-earned’ such a consummately profitable business model. One only needs to follow the money, or ask: Who benefits? Cui bono? as we say. As with 9/11, the dramatis personae in Covid’s ‘cattle-call’ of beneficiaries is a ‘deMillean’ cast of thousands, and then some! The parasitic profiteers of angst and adversity and the misfortune of others we might observe are rarely in short supply!

…What Gates and Co. have presented thus far is a masterclass in the intrinsic power of PR, and its preternatural capacity to induce in the populace desired doubts and from there, control opinion and/or manufacture out of thin air the consent—the credulous acquiescence, the irrepressible arousal—of the misgoverned. In the view of many (though it barely needs mentioning, nowhere near a critical mass), humanity’s ‘criss du génération’ has ‘unmasked’ the Gates’s real motives and their earnest, over-arching game-plan.

In squarely assessing the Covid phenomena then, one is struck by any number of conclusions—as inescapable as they’re disturbing—about the forces driving it, and about our collective reaction to these forces…

…Beyond formal education itself, other forces come into play to be sure, not least our media. Thus our “worldview” remains forever unchallenged, unchanged. It needs be noted that along with positioning himself amongst the medical and health fraternity as the ‘go-to’ global guru on public health policy in general and the dangers of contagious diseases in particular, Gates has cemented this reputation by assiduously courting the mainstream (corporate) media and the reigning political classes and their patrons in unstinting support of the BMG Foundation’s highly questionale agenda.

In the Land of the Infected (There are None so Blind)

Now those not persuaded by the preceding views may need to ‘get out more’, to use the vernacular. Which is to say we need to awaken to the brain-numbing barrage of propaganda on the one hand, and stifling censorship on the other to which we’ve been subjected for many years: this Orwellian milieu has expanded exponentially since the emergence of this so-called crisis.

…As Vanessa Beeley reveals, this trend towards increasing censorship, surveillance and secrecy is now very much an exponential work in progress, the latter possibly not being the most appropriate word given the zeitgeist. To the degree notions of transparency and accountability are in play, the miscreants driving these developments are now more open (or less embarrassed or apologetic) about being caught out, and increasingly more immune even when they are called out. (See here, here, here, here, and here for more on this.)

👉 ‘…[I]deas which would otherwise be seen as bizarre, vulgar, undesirable or impossible are inserted into films [as] fantasy. When the viewer watches these films, his/her mind is left open to suggestion and the conditioning process begins.’

…Yet for apocalyptic prescience of the pathogenic kind in fictional conspiratorial plotting, it is Israeli Hamutal Shabtai who gets the nod. Over 23 years ago she wrote a book—largely unheralded—about the emergence of a Covid-like pandemic, set in 2020. Imaginatively titled 2020, this novel was according to Raul Diego of MintPress News, originally written as a film script. Diego: ‘Shabtai… predicts the state of the world today as a result of the counter-measures with uncanny accuracy and foretells of a society ravaged by a virus, which ushers in a “global health dictatorship”’.

…In this Brave New World meets 1984 future, such technologies will come to rule, direct, psychologically orchestrate, socially engineer, behaviourally manage, and genetically manipulate every aspect of our lives. One can reasonably surmise this is one of the key motives for—and objectives of—those associated with its rollout. Human nature has a track record of going off-track, and it is not one overly defined by circumspection, forward-thinking, altruism, or broad consideration of the public weal. If it can all be monetised along with being weaponised all the better. Which it is and will be. Of that, we can be sure.

Though space prohibits an in-depth discussion of such, it’s worth mentioning at this point the widely perceived connections between the timing of the rollout of 5G and the arrival of Covid. It’s enough to say that one credible observer—Robert F Kennedy Jr.—foresees a “catastrophe” for humanity. For him, there are no ‘mights’ or ‘maybes’ about it.

It is instructive that he made this comment in the context of talking about pandemics, vaccines and the like. But he was clearly alluding to the possible environmental and health blowback from rolling out this scandalously untested technology. (See also here.)

And it would seem that Covid has brought into sharp relief the corruption and avarice of our once trusted medical science and health professions. In this writer’s ‘humble’, Kennedy is one of the most articulate and principled advocates for more accountability and transparency within and across the broad medical, pharmaceutical, healthcare, health insurance, health science and scientific research and associated regulatory domains. He attends his message with a no-punches pulled indictment of the widespread, deep-seated conflicts of vested interests therein, and the rampant abuse and neglect of the public trust he sees as being out of control in these spheres.

In a lengthy interview last year, Kennedy gave vent to all of the above and then some. Whilst the main focus was on Covid and the disturbing implications for our future, his views extended to the numerous issues which accompany Covid or are attenuated with it. There are any number of reveals in this wide-ranging discussion and RFK’s son—a litigation lawyer, safe vaccine advocate, and environmental activist—was ‘all over his brief’ as it were. Like the Corbett revelations on Gates, this interview provides valuable insights. (Similar to many who share his beliefs, Kennedy has stated that contrary to ‘popular opinion’, he is not against vaccines but advocates they be more thoroughly tested and investigated prior to rollout.

One striking example (there are countless others; see list of links below) providing further evidence of the misinformation and disinformation that has become the hallmark of the perpetual motion propaganda and censorship machine that has been purpose built to keep the official narrative on track is the following. Dr. Roger Hodkinson, who is Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons committee in Ottawa, is also CEO of a large private medical laboratory in Edmonton, Alberta and Chairman of a Medical Biotechnology company seeking to enter the vaccination market.

On its face this looks a typical conflict of interest of the type referred to earlier. Yet in a video (originally posted on Youtube, but tellingly censored by YT shortly thereafter), Hodkinson decried the ‘utterly unfounded’ hysteria surrounding Covid, which he said was ‘driven by the media and politicians’. Along with calling it ‘the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspected public’, Hodkinson declared the ‘crisis’ as nothing more than ‘a bad flu season. It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game.’ He further added:

‘There is no action needed…Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence whatsoever they are even effective. It is utterly ridiculous seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people walking around like lemmings obeying without any evidence. Social distancing is also useless… [T]he risk of death under 65 is 1 in 300,000…the response utterly ridiculous.’

Quarantining Humanity (Useless Eaters and Useful Idiots)

To sum up: If we relinquish our freedom of action and movement to the pandemic priesthood and supplant our individual thoughts and speech with the accepted narratives that attend their agendas, we do so at our own peril. We are in effect dispensing with one of the most effective tools of defence in the smoke-filled ‘wilderness of mirrors’ (located as it is inside a cacophonous echo chamber) that passes for reality, one in which we all too readily assume will present greater opportunities for us, our families and descendants to pursue, attain, then lead full, free, productive, meaningful lives.

This chimerical construct has been purpose-built to reflect and echo a reality of their own making. This pseudo-reality has been with us for some time and remains extant, a work in progress. One hardly needs to be a logician or a life-time member of MENSA to detect the vicious circularity of this existential malaise, and we are but bit players performing in this surreal danse macabre, this cosmic, mordantly ironic, nihilistic theatre of the absurd, one directed by criminal sociopaths and choreographed by the certifiably insane.

… It’s all but a fait accompli that we now accept it is their interests that will always come first, with trust in our political, public and private institutions having declined precipitously with this half-assed realisation. But we rarely seem to stop what we’re doing or thinking, and consider the implications of that. Until that mistrust is converted into critical mass action, we’re on a hiding to nothing.

Which is to say, we’ll face two choices, both of which are something of the Hobson’s variety. We either become one of Vladimir Lenin’s “useful idiots” in the service of this all-out assault on democracy, the public weal, and humanity. Or we end up one of Henry Kissinger’s “useless eaters”. The ‘choice’ is ours (or not).

If only we could embrace doubt with as much enduring enthusiasm and effect as we do the purported good intentions of those who rule over us. If only…
