I’m going to lean on a better writer than me to help me speak to this moment in time in America. Hunter S. Thompson at the very end of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, in 1971, wrote about the wave of the 60’s counterculture and it’s crest.
“And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”
If the great gonzo journalist were still alive he would be 85, five years older than President Biden, just less than five years older than Mitch McConnell and less than three years older than Nancy Pelosi. Fauci is about the same age as Pelosi. Thompson was wrong about that wave. It grew momentum with boomer neoliberalism, before it became a zoomer woke transhumanist, globalist tsunami that it is just now cresting. The wreckage is immense. The carnage is just being revealed. It will take generations to recover. Many of us are still drowning in it.
The strangest thing about the very strange six years since Donald Trump was elected President, is the ease with which a majority of Americans embraced authoritarianism, on what amounted to little more than slogans and mantras. Incantations like “the pandemic of the unvaccinated” were repeated with as much fervor as any religious fundamentalist. Humans are a mythological, spiritual creature by nature, secular scientific materialism did not depose religion as much as it replaced it. The Science (Fauci) became like the golden calf the Isrealites worshiped in fear after Moses (herd immunity) took so long coming down from the mountain. “Safe and effective” became the new holy rite to banish the devil. The guidance from the CDC, FDA, NIH, NAIAD and WHO like the commandments of Baal.
The initial most shocking result is the way in which those who have been harmed by the mRNA gene manipulation jabs aka “vaccines”, and those harmed by lockdowns and mandates, physically and materially, have been treated as if they don’t exist, or they are liars, or they are all victims of the virus, but who are not to be otherwise acknowledged; and doctors and nurses who have been vilified and canceled for treating patients like doctors and nurses are supposed to.
Anyone who thinks Dr Mary Talley Bowden is a danger who should be imprisoned, like some of her fellow doctors have said, is an authoritarian. She is a mother of four who was fired for tweeting “Ivermectin works for Covid” and “Vaccine mandates are wrong” who treated 4000 patients with Ivermectin, Hydroxychloriquine, monoclonal antibodies and vitamins, and all 4000 survived. There are hundreds of doctors who have been cancelled for much the same.
I wonder what Hunter S Thompson would say if he knew destroying the careers of doctors for views contrary to the establishment had become a common occurrence in America, and it was casually called cancelling them? I think he would say something like, ‘My god, who knew too much acid could breed fascists!’
I’ve written a lot lately about the elite architects of covid policy and a jab, lockdown and mask, villify anyone who questions it response. What is holding the charade together is not those elite architects, but the professional class, the bureaucrats institutional, public and private, the doctors and nurses, the media, who remember all the awful, ugly, wicked things they said and did, based on lies and falsehoods, about the unvaccinated and those who advocated for pre-treatment and healthy living, anyone who was skeptical about experimental mRNA technology. To acknowledge those who have been harmed by their policies, who appear increasingly to far outnumber those who died from the virus, is to acknowledge everything they have believed about covid, to acknowledge how authoritarian their actions have been, how cruel and specious their actions have been, to be wrong. Many of them appear not to be able to do that, while many others live in fear of being cancelled for speaking out.
But that wave is cresting, and the carnage is slowly revealed as those waters recede.
It seems testing was mostly a fraud, as were the trials. Testing it seems could be manipulated to create false positives to inflate the fear of a pandemic, while also made to inflate false negatives among the “vaccinated” to create a mirage of jab efficacy. “Reducing testing positivity is not the same thing as reducing disease.” It begins to look like an elaborate fake perpetrated by methods that were long known in the pharmaceutical industry.
Just lately it becomes clear, birth rates are falling precipitously, “like nothing ever seen”, in those countries most vaccinated. The Phizer trial documents, which the FDA and CDC clearly did not read before the jabs were given Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), are revealing evidence that miscarriage was a clear signal in the trials.
It is one thing to call people dropping dead randomly all over the world, of every age, race and ethnicity, Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, and blame it on everything from climate change to gardening to baking apple pies. It is another thing to deny entirely jab induced adverse events while claiming it is all long covid. It is wholly another to mask, give myocarditus to and kill children, and maybe make women miscarry, in the name of saving a few boomers who are already very ill.
It is like the proverbial unspeakable evil, this boomer zoomer woke pestilence that has infiltrated everything in the name of covid, climate, gender and race. Or is that the four horseman of the postmodern apocalypse? To call it out is to invite a blitzkrieg. The god that is Marx will rain holy hellfire upon you, should you question the transhumanist utopia they claim to be creating.
This watershed moment is justice for the harm that has been done by covid policy and the jabs, justice for those who have been harmed, and for all those who have been canceled for questioning covid policy and the attendant woke cancellation of history and biology riding that authoritarian wave.
Or what? We leave the mRNA “vaccine” damaged to rot in obscurity, gaslighting them unto oblivion? Allow the demoralization of all those who know covid policy top to bottom was never about the virus? Elevating all those who embraced totalitarianism, those who cancelled, those who sat by knowing it to be a lie, who heaped abuse upon the skeptics? Elevating those who shout “trust the science” while following none, or making it up as they like? That future is all digital, all Science slogans, mantras and virtue signals, anyone at any moment can be cancelled for not believing the official Truth, and we line up for our bimonthly multiboosters or we are cast naked into the wilderness?
“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
Choose wisely. Do everything you can to speak the truth. Be honest. Be courageous. Take a risk. To extend the metaphor a little further, need I say the professional classes, all the best people have the watercraft to ride that tsunami with aplomb? They are going to land on the shore as those waters recede, stand among the wreckage looking shiny and clean, offering their biometric surveillance and digital currency, to reset, to build back better, to save humanity.
There will be no defending against it, if there is no accountability for those who have been harmed by Covid Policy, and the damage it has done to health care and the economy and to America.
The crashing tsunami is a very appropriate metaphor. I am hoping those of us who are paying attention have climbed to high enough ground...
Very good WHD!
