Given the comments on Facebook about this essay, it is clear that those who think you are "off the rails" on this subject have not read the entire piece. Nor have they been following the "alternate" trajectory regarding the pandemic... that is, the alleged "conspiratorial misinformation" that has caused the entire world to enact digital passports and vaccine mandates all at the same time, using the same dialogue, same numbers, same news stories, and same outcomes. How remarkable for a non-cabal, not conspiracy, not psy-op, not anything other than what-it-is situation to take place, right in front of everyone's eyes.

In my personal circumstance since the beginning, I have cautiously tread on both sides of the fence. My past engagements with people deep inside the UFO and intelligence communities have taught me well. People are easily confused and misled with agency tactics. The doers are very good at what they do. Unfortunately the very term/meme of "conspiracy" has been overused to the point that it should probably be left out of the discussion.

I'm well removed from my previous lifestyle. On this small island of 10,000 people, and a Province that proudly touts one of the lowest case counts/highest vax numbers on the planet, it has been fascinating to observe the events of the past two years.

I've always had issues with allopathic medicine and pharmaceuticals. Doesn't work for me. So just starting with that, I wasn't happy to hear about pending vaccines as the answer. But if people wanted them, that was okay. There's lots of ways to handle coronavirus illness, and I gravitated to the alternatives early on. I coach a group of runners, so immediately followed the rules and health orders to help everyone stay safe. I'm all for behaving as so many Canadians do...wanting to do "what's best."

As the first month went by and "two weeks to flatten the curve" was not working, there were a few clues that this was a situation that was going to be used to reshape humanity. It helped to have some insights as to how this was about to occur. Someone posted a video with two fellows talking about the Lock Step Scenario. I found the original document and sent it to some people I respected as well educated and also connected to covert/government ops. To my surprise, they dismissed it as "just a scenario." (This is the 2010 document by the Rockefeller Foundation/Global Business Network titled; Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development)

I recalled a paper in my files from the days that I was emerged in the world of UFOs. I only mention this because of the recent interest in mass media concurrent with the US Government's release of decades worth of documents on the subject. This paper is titled "MJ-12: The Technocratic Thread" by Paul Collins & Phillip D. Collins, November 18, 2006. In this paper, they explore the mysterious documents that supposedly surfaced in 1984. While much debate and skepticism have circulated regarding the documents, the Collins team suggest that the underlying theme of the MJ-12 documents is inherently technocratic, literally defining a Technocratic Society. They say, "the papers present a shadowy group of policy professionals allegedly established by a secret executive order of President Truman on September 24, 1947."

On page 1 of the 20 page commentary, they write:

"Technocracy can be defined as follows:

Technocracy, in classical political terms, refers to a system of governance in which technically trained experts rule by virtue of their specialized knowledge and position in dominant political and economic institutions (Fischer 17)

Oxford Professor Carroll Quigley also wrote about a dictatorship of 'experts' suggesting that a cognitive elite 'will replace the democratic voter in control of the political system' (Quigley 866). Of just such a democracy of 'experts,' H.G. Wells stated:

The world's political organization will be democratic, that is to say, the government and direction of affairs will be in immediate touch with and responsive to the general thought of the educated whole population. (26)"

It is possible to extract oneself from the wilder ideas about the pandemic and find middle ground between the sensationalized and that which has been covered up, or simply not conveyed to the public. Some exceptional doctors and scientists (the real science - not that which has been marketed by media/pharma collusion) have been silenced, and outright ostracized.

Anger, anxiety, and depression are at all time highs. Back on this little island, it is the pocket of the newly-organized un-vaxxed who seem to be the easiest to talk to and at least have a good laugh with in good company. Many others are now caught up in the digital-passport entry to events (including running races), restaurants, etc. I think a lot are unaware of what is coming, as they have not followed the other side, such as the situation in Israel where a third shot is now required to maintain v-status. The CBC and all smaller news affiliates in Canada have done an exceptional job of keeping everything but the government's (well-funded) messages front and center. However, the case counts among the un-vaccinated are rising. I personally know of two people with teenagers who ended up in ER after the vax, and other stories are emerging, albeit slowly and carefully, as we have seen what happens to those who complain and try to tell the public what has happened.

In all, I agree that there is much more to this pandemic than we initially thought. If nothing else, considerable damage has been done to the fabric of society on multiple levels. I hope that sensible debate and critical thinking will prevail. And I hope that anybody who had a hand in deliberately perpetuating a crisis that has turned out to be an epic crime against humanity is called to task. Let the retractions begin.

This is an important topic. We need to consider motive as you point out: I like the idea of distinguishing "soft" vs "hard" conspiracy. Similarly, I think we should distinguish "scientific arrogance" from "scientific humility." I would argue the first is driving current pandemic policies, but what we need is the latter to find a sustainable balance of humans within nature.

A strong case can be made that both the covid pandemic and the climate crisis derive from the same root cause: humanity refuses to humbly consider how to find a sustainable balance with the rest of nature. Out of fear and arrogance we engage in damaging control fantasies that have terrible (and predictable) "side effects". We need to accept the limits to our growth and to adapt or we will face colony collapse: either through climate disruption, disease, etc.

Science is always guided by values: we need to be clear which values are driving current efforts. Science is not value free, nor is policy determined by scientific specialists or technocrats. Science is at its root empiricism and democratic sensemaking through the inter-subjective comparing of our lived experience also counts as science. Science funded by wealthy donors is not the only kind of science, and of course the wealthy are the biggest and most reckless control freaks on the planet. I vote for humble, democratic empiricism to ensure the future of humanity. Plus maybe talking to the virus directly. ;)

“ ecological holocaust on the planet which will cause massive droughts, famines, and flooding in the next decades”. No we have not. Massive extinction yes, destruction of ecosystems yes, but all those weather effects you mention are just normal part of cycles and little to do with our actions. Our problem is POLLUTION and not CLIMATE. Please! Get this thing in your heads already!! Those part of the “conspiracy around Covid” you mention are exactly those that control the “climate disaster” narrative. It’s ridiculous to debunk one and believe the other. Both are part of the same plan.

Well said Daniel, good that you've taken the time to look deeper.

Considering the way in which "climate change" has been promoted for decades until it's become orthodoxy and taught in schools to traumatise children, (poor Greta,) I'm distrustful of that as well. Orthodoxies that refuse to debate and heap scorn on detractors are suspect...thanks for the essay

Yes, all hands on deck. We need to find a way to get to the 40% of people .. through the muck and mire the conspiracy sector has laid in path. Lee Rockwell article “Why Smart People are Stupid” has some incredible insights on the levels of psychological discombobulation involved and the monumental task at hand. It’s time to turn the beat around- yesterday. My friends at NoNewNormal.com are full of many ideas and are trying to figure out how to do the most good. We all need to join like minds and inspire humanity. People aware and concerned, just might be the divine intervention Dr. Zalinko (sp) said was needed.. to shut down the Blackrock/Vanguard/ WEF .. express train to hook us all up to the computer. (Can’t not.. think of that Superman 3 scene. Each and every time). .. you know, Richard Pryor was there? Well.. let’s save the world!
