This is almost perfectly crafted. What it shows is how narrow the path is to get to a better ending. I have spent almost my whole life telling people to run like the dickens when someone says "it's about the children!!" because that is almost always just obfuscation/lying. Now we actually have a case where it turns out to be true -- serious cognitive dissonance here, but I believe you are spot on.
The two questions to be answered are still: 1) Who are the few that are actually responsible for all of this (Jeff Childers did an insightful Substack piece on this yesterday...worth finding and reading)? and 2) How exactly do we make this happen?
Many of us are action people and are always looking for something to DO...as a lifelong "doer", the next steps are not obvious which bothers me and, I am sure, many like me. Your insights would make a great follow-on piece.
Thanks for the kind words, Dr. K. I really worked hard on this one so I hope it gets a fair amount of reads. I'll look for Jeff Childers' piece, as that is THE question. I had already planned on writing my two cents on that topics. We don't know for sure who is responsible ... but it's pretty easy to make some educated guesses, I would say.
You ought to have put into bold typeface or all caps ‘just following orders’. As in ‘The Banality of Evil’ Arendt.
How can one continue to respect those that knew what they were doing was unethical, but did it anyway, as their superiors issued orders?. And anyway, they had their pensions to protect.
Hence those ICU nurses and Paramedics who told me they observed DNARs placed on the elderly and disabled without informing the patients or their families’, yet very, very few have gone to the press to date, or alternative media. Their jobs were more important. Or rather MONEY.
So for them it was ok to ‘make patients comfortable’ by administering Midazalam and morphine or to apply the Liverpool care pathway whereby nutrition and liquids are withheld.
So how would the public accept that those ‘angels’ they went outside to clap for were no different then the medical staff of Germany. Cognitive dissonance.
Just following orders.
Nothing (the blanket DNARs) to do with me mate.
Go along to get a long.
That’s how they did it
And it’s that so many were involved in the madness that means the majority of the population were complicit.
Thanks. That's a point that should be highlighted in boldface. Which thanks to the edit functions, I can actually do. Appreciate your excellent thoughts.
😭😭I’ve been reading about the deadly hospital protocols since 2020, but the gravity of what was done to the elderly and disabled is just as horrific, each time I read the words.
I know. What sticks in my throat is I sent evidence of the death panel protocols aka Frailty scoring, evidence to many (UK Column, Amnesty, Daily Telegraph etc) in April 2020 but it wasn’t picked up until summer 2021 in Sunday Times after blanket DNRs in learning disabled care homes families took Govn’t to court.
And for a few months they were putting learning disabled into icu. ONLY FOR A FEW MONTHS. Next wave back to the killing.
What sticks is I felt I was a Cassandra and no one listened to my warning. I even sent these people eye witness testimony.
Know what? NO MP HAS YET BROUGHT THIS UP. Why? I suspect because then Covid game plan will be shown for what it was/is. Tiergarten 4 Programme.
They started with the disabled, mentally I’ll and deficient, and elderly. THEY STARTED THERE
I really thought you hit the mail on the head. I’ve said to my wife that our officials were totally in on the coercion and mandates and are too far gone to turn around now. In for a penny, in for a pound as the old saying goes. They can’t afford to turn around and warn people to stop these evil jabs. It would destroy our countries with legal challenges and legal suits to bankrupt our pathetic countries. They are now fully committed to their disastrous course of action and will see it through to save their own skins. There’s people who know the truth or suspect it, but don’t care one whit about you or me. Only themselves! I also believe we are deep into a spiritual battle with very dark forces and we fight not simply flesh and blood, but dark principalities that energize and direct this battle of the ages. Look to Him above and keep waging prayerful battle folks. God is our ultimate hope. Blessings to all in 2023. May it being breakthrough victories for people of good will and truth. 👍🏻🙏🏻
I sent this to the Daily Sceptic (to Will, who I correspond with often at The Brownstone Institute Writer's Group). Maybe he will run it. He's run several of my pieces as "stand alone" stories and then linked to many others with his "Daily Round-up." So he has helped me grow my Substack site. Plus, The Daily Sceptic is one of those "few" organizations that is doing the work of real patriots.
Thank you for this excellent article. It validates what I have thought since January 2020.
For those who want to participate in the much needed discussions of full range models of what happened and full range discussion of solutions, please take a look at the link below. I could use some help here. I am not a writer. I am an engineer with success analyzing all possible models for complex challenges, considering all possible solutions, and analyzing the merits of the different possible solutions. It is curious that our enemy appears to do this kind of planning and analysis but our side does nothing like it. When do we start considering real, innovative solutions? Who else has done this or is doing it? Isn't it up to us?
What was the most important thing for China, since it was neither private profit nor public control?
An epidemiology postgrad, then in Beijing, sent me this email a week after Dynamic Covid Zero went into effect:
"I actually find the response by the Chinese government to be extremely interesting. It seems like it’s overblowing the matter on purpose. Considering the low number of cases (compared to China’s population) and low death rates, it feels like the Chinese government is overblowing fears on purpose, with maps filled with dark areas and shutting down everything everywhere (and this is during China’s most important holiday season).
I suspect it’s practicing for when a Really serious disease breaks out, the sort with people dying like flies. So I find all this fuss quite interesting. We’ve been warned about a potential superbug outbreak for years, and now we can see how the response will look like.
No doubt the Chinese government is busy taking notes on what it could have done better.
Not to mention, I don’t think most Westerners realize just how big Wuhan is, just how significant Chinese New Year is in terms of people moving around and just how many people go in and out of those wet markets every day. Tens of thousands of people leaving the wet markets, taking public transport then going home to expose all their visiting relatives, and all those people in turn going to all sorts of crowded areas too. With a high enough contagion rate, we’d easily be at 1 million infected.
The fact that we haven’t reached such numbers means that this virus isn’t that bad.
The way I see it, if Covid didn't work to corral enough people into doing what the collusion of government/big biz directed, then there are other avenues to get the people to comply. Some say this will be the climate change agenda. Perhaps. Or crashing the dollar and claiming the only hope is a digital currency. Perhaps perhaps. But there is no doubt that the "elite" want to take all of our remaining freedom, while they live high on the hog.
Great insights. My line of thinking has been very similar what you have written, and it's all quite reasonable and plausible, maybe even likely. That said, the perps at the top of all this and all the deceptions and downright lies need to be exposed for all to see, understand and finally believe. More importantly, those who have been blind to the lies and deceptions need to finally comprehend what so many of us were seeing all along, all the pieces and truths need to be put together and exposed publicly. I'm not sure how this will happen unless the mainstream media wants to expose it all.
Very well done, Bill! Your article does a great job of summarizing the ugliness of the last three years but also focuses on what we can do today that will help us build a better future. Thank you.
In the meantime, allow me to expand on one of your points:
“In short, the truth - ever revealed - would jeopardize the standing, reputation, influence (and government funding) of practically every important organization in the world.”
What if this is also “part of the plan?” The usual suspects, e.g., the CDC, FDA, NIH, or the American Board of Internal Medicine (who sanctioned Dr. McCullough), include those whose standing, reputation, influence, and government funding would suffer. On one hand, dismantling them, or at a minimum, returning them to a state that’s fit for purpose would be fine with me. I assume some parts of these organizations could still provide necessary services.
But, on the other hand, what if we pulled into the CDC’s parking lot in Atlanta and found it deserted and being used for a post-apocalyptic movie set? What other well-funded organization could take over and say to do things our way? I imagine this malevolent organization would even do away with the parts of these organizations that could still provide necessary services and leave us worse off than before.
So, I agree we must expose and purge the dangerous charlatans, but at the same time, I believe we should work towards replacing them with more qualified folks and rebuild the organizational elements our society needs. It’s not going to happen by itself.
Thanks, Stewart. You make a provocative point - who would replace the sorry/evil actors? Perhaps people even more evil and Machiavellian. So we need a system of "accountability" or "checks and balances" that allows the elimination of the bad actors and would make it more likely we got rational-thinking people with integrity to replace them.
The Fourth Estate is supposed to be the institution that holds those with great power accountable. And they've abdicated this responsibility. The public doesn't know how evil their rulers really are.
Thanks, I like your clarification. And, in regards to the Fourth Estate, it's why we need writers like you. We need a Fifth Estate, or whatever you want to call it.
See Paul Craig Roberts; https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/ most Americans (and officials or employees) are insouciant. Hey, don't rock the boat! Did you ever read the SOP of reasons to classify? It's predominantly to avoid giving overt reason or means to attack the United States. These people want nuclear war!
Amazing insight! Shout this to the roof tops! I really enjoyed your article just straight up truth!
Thank you, Christie. I worked very hard on this piece. I revised it many times.

Thanks for this more-than-insightful piece.

Bill, I should have linked it. Anyone who reads you would appreciate it. It is the longest piece i have seen him write, but worth the read. https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/a-great-big-new-year-saturday-december
Definitely one of Childers’ most important pieces. I’d say blockbuster!

Who’s next this time?
It's so frustrating to point out s/thing significant and the "watchdog" press and officials have zero interest.
I need to do more research into this topic. You could educate me for sure.

re: "I’ve tried to produce journalism that might be of use to future historians."
Kudos! And thank you!
Thank you!
Please accept my best wishes for your mission. And, of course, a Happy New Year.
Btw, I miss your contributions on the Daily Sceptic, but now I know where to find you!

Thanks for that info. Good to know!

Thank you.
Boom! Amazing article!
Good article Bill, will be linking it today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Thank you very much. I worked hard on this one. A couple of years of thinking went into it. Thanks for your work!
Good to see your hard work is paying off.
Not confident it can be done but ill die trying.
