When I worked for the New Jersey Attorney General, I spent one day each year enforcing election laws. This easy assignment entailed waiting in the county courthouse for those turned away from the polls to seek judicial authorization to vote by providing evidence that they met State voting standards.
One of your most insightful articles yet Mark. We sure enjoy hearing from you so thanks for staying with your side hustle...
Dr Michael Yeadon (former Pfizer VP) and others have posited that pandemics are simply not a real concern due to the self limiting nature of pathogens. More lethal means less spread and vice versa. The mortality rate of the Spanish Flu is likely to have been caused by massive overdoses of a new miracle drug called aspirin. Therefore it’s all a massive money and power grab.
Has the government, the agencies, etc,, always been this corrupt, but we never had the means to know until the past 30ish years? How much of what we bought in the past was also based on these corrupt, immoral, powerful, greedy, narcissistic a-holes?
I think doctors used to be good, but most are in that same boat. Pill-pushers who profit from keeping people sick. People are not human, they are cogs on a conveyor belt.
The best that can come of this is an awakening and a healthy skepticism of Pharma interventions. I now question so many of them and am more determined then ever to avoid them, especially vaccines (all of them!). The childhood schedule is an abomination.
In Africa a mosquito net is far more useful at saving lives than a toxic COVID jab. But for that matter, so would the funding of infrastructure projects ensuring clean drinking water and electricity rather than the financing of terrorist operations resulting in mayhem.
The similarity between the "public health industrial complex" and the "military industrial complex" is striking.
For example, Fairfax County, Va. which includes the independent cities of Fairfax City and Falls Church, remains one of the richest counties in the U.S. This is because it is jam-packed with private military contractors involved in the "arms and spy industry."
What I think is important, is noting the "real" connection between pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and the DOD. Chemicals are considered a tool in the DOD arsenal. They're used in warfare against specific countries and were deployed against Western civilian poulations by declaring a pandemic, thus mandating an experimental mRNA toxin along with all the ancillary repressive protocols, ie., lockdowns which the Ghouls knew would cause millions of fatalities as well as middle-class financial ruin for innumerable small businesses. Similar economic sanctions relating to the Ukraine mess, are currently devastating the European middle-class while the wealthy go unscathed.
It's my opinion, the "transnationalist" ruling elite are planning to use public health organizations like the WHO as a way to control billions via "biosecurity worldwide governance" under the pretext of the cool new politically correct term "multipolarism." Regional technocratic governance by Russia, China, and the USA via biosecurity digital ID'S including health records and personal financial accounts are part of the plan. This will become more evident as central bank digital currencies are introduced and adopted worldwide. A series of dubious mRNA concoctions will be capriciously rolled-out based on the political agenda "du jour" and billions will be coerced to comply. Sort of like, it's your money or your life. However, they might be tempted to take both. It'll be a Brave New World; maybe...
We can never let these totalitarian clowns "declare victory." Every time one of these stuffed shirt hollow titles says "it worked," we must vehemently slap them back and disagree loudly. If we let these horrible fascists who ruined lives smugly insist there was ANY reason for their madness - never mind a "good" reason - we will be betraying the interests of our children. The unending evil of their bullying crap is both self-evident and ignored by massive numbers of people.
We can NEVER let them claim any of this crap was needed or beneficial.
I briefly worked in the tallest building in downtown Montgomery, Alabama - 23 stories! About 11 of those floors were occupied by the Alabama Department of Public Health. You knew who worked where because they all wore name badges. Those people were everywhere. I don't know what they did. All that agency did back then was encourage more people to get their unsafe and ineffective flu shots. "Public health" is not good in Alabama. And that army of bureaucrats aren't improving it. But the agency pays a ton of tax payer money in rent.
💬 Young people lost irreplaceable experiences and social development opportunities. Stealing this time was far more criminal than is stealing wallets. 🔥
Wish there were a way to drum this into many a dewy-eyed skull, be they ignorant wilfully or blissfully.
"Every bureaucracy wants to perpetuate its existence. If an administrative entity’s raison d’etre is to identify threats and respond to them, the entity will identify or concoct threats. "
100%.
that's exactly what happened with that soon-to-be-retired cop. but he didn't come up with that hustle. guarantee you that the police union orchestrated that scheme. problems like this will persist until we get rid of those bureaucracies.
I couldn't agree more. These bureaucracies are a cancer in all developed countries. Funded entirely by easy access to their hosts blood (taxpayer funds), they metastisize out of control, and surely to eventually kill their host. It's a no win situation for either side unless we excise them soon.
Mark: Outstanding summary of our public health action during this scaredemic. I think you were hitting them with measured, unassailable facts---a velvet hammer, if you will. Your approach may even resonate with fence-sitters as well, which is really important. Since my intent here is to merely reach you, my audience of one, I will use a chainsaw as my tool: I think of Nazi Germany. I think of the mass acceptance and denial by “good German citizens.” You know as well as I: without them, that whole disaster would have never taken root. It all started when they abandoned their principles, little by little.
Teachers (unionized) in my area (northern Illinois) do the same as that cop for the same reason. Their method is to go on strike to force pay increases. Their pension is also based on their most recent salary. At one school, a 1st grade teacher had a higher salary than the principal. I'm certain this was not an isolated situation.

Gates!
Anyone who thinks he is going to protect us from viruses hasn't been paying attention to history the last 3 dozen plus years.
Thanks for this thoughtful essay, Mark. We can never let these tinpot fascists seize control of every aspect of society. Never Again, indeed.
This whole mess reminds me of the old saying: “None of us is as dumb as all of us.”
Love your writing. Thanks for this.
Thanks for this, Mark. “Less is more” indeed.
