Pandemic Lunacy Illustrated

a reply to: ColeYounger

Sorry. I don't listen to anything Biden says!

I can´t stop laughing looking at these pics. I am pretty sure this was an IQ test on massive scale. "They" wanted to look with what part of mankind we are able to enter the next stage of evolution. Those who would prevent us from achieving this goal because of not being to think for themselves, because of faithless credulity and submissiveness without even trying to question anything, have been put out of action and are slowly but surely becoming extinct, faster than normal. Because they got the shot It´s like an abortion only somehow different.

Someone just wanted to separate the wheat from the chaff, get rid of the rotten apples who are even too stupid to p!ss a hole in freshly fallen snow? Are aliens helping mankind maybe, trying to prevent us from blowing earth into pieces with getting rid of the part of mankind that obviously suffers from severe idiocracy?

At least it feels a lot like that.

I still laugh when I think about Biden giving us all hope in the early summer of 2021.
He told us that if we all obeyed Faucci and got vaxxed, there was a chance that we just might be able to have our backyard cookouts come July 4th!

(Provided there weren't too many people at said cookouts)

17 cents less too!

why are these people still wasting oxygen?

LOL... I almost forgot about the "hot dogs are 17 cents cheaper"
press conference where Jenn Psaki made that statement.

I remeber seeing this on the news, pretty pathetic.

What did it do for me? It underlined that regardless of academic accomplishments/qualifications, "smart" had little to do with a certificate or degree. It was a grand IQ test. It also underlined that the definition of "freedom" is relative. To most its only about being allowed to enjoy their myopic little existence, their neighbor be damned. Overnight the COVID poster campaign hit every bustop in the GTA, litterally like magic. A couple of days after lockdown they had an idiot actress silently show the terrified populace how to socially distance on CP24 (a popular, woke, programming conduit). I knew it was a farce when 5G rolled-out in my city undeterred each night when everybody else was supposed to be hiding under their beds. Underlining my notion, mariquana outlets and liquor store were deemed "essential" however those who had been waiting for crucial surgery and treatment were put off so as to allow the ongoing WORSHIP of COVID. As with a previously posted meme, six-foot spread between people in line but scooch on up nice and tight on planes and public transit.

And don't worry about discarding the mask you're wearing to protect your fellow man. Simply discard it on the sidewalk, street, parking lot of your choosing.

I cover 5.3 miles jogging each morning. I've never stepped over any bodies, but TO-THIS-DAY, I step over countless masks.

I believe that we as a race are at best, brillaint idiots.

It's like that new ATS member with the 8 dead family members, because they refused to be vaccinated. 🙄

That was 2 days ago!

These people are far too gone.

The last three years have been the most important years that I spent in my life journey. So much of what I once thought was impossible was proven to be possible, and too much of what I thought was possible did not work out the way I thought it should.

We learned very necessary and important lessons from the C19 fiasco. Knowledge can be power. I just hope we learned enough that we will recognize when that power will need to be utilized. And that we will be smart enough to use it.

When was it that our PH bureaucracy and associated branches of academia were taken over by morons?

Ummm... if you believe that you haven't been paying attention.

Those in power did all of this knowingly, willfully and intentionally.

No... the morons are the ones that fell for it... that went along with it. That still defend it.

You're damn right I'm a conspiracy theorist. At least I'm not a retard.

nice compilation of images lol. so true and so sad at the same time

Wow and the human race thinks we are smart

We are a bunch of monkeys fighting over the last bananas

And the fact that there are still people on ATS that are still attempting to convince us that this nonsense was necessary and
that the so-called test run of mRNA injections (of all different levels of unknown ingredients) were the best thing since sliced bread.

I'd like to chew my stupid friends out that got injected and ended up dead very shortly thereafter. I have at least 3 other friends around me that I have been watching.

I had one friend that was pondering whether to get the shot or not. He said a prayer about it, and was walking in a shopping center, and some woman ran out of the drugstore and said " Have you got your shot? Come in here, we have a free vax shot for you right now" so he got it! Thought God answered his prayer. That was the Devil! It was too late by the time I called him to warn him not to do it.

How many people have I told what my dad warned me about the shots? A genius Bacteriologist- Stanford schooled, and also a Chemist, and Microbiologist- But no! They know better, because a Jesuit trained 33-degree Mason told them it was safe...... DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes indeed there are what we call vaccine apologists and defenders of the pharmaceuticals who are in a constant denial and denying really big time. But their arguments have been refuted everywhere as they have no merits and in most cases their arguments are lacking basic knowledge. They are like religious followers.

As I said on many occasions this isn't just a pandemic lunacy. This is the most absurd and ludicrous medical campaign accompanied by mass formation psychosis and massive ignorance even when it comes to the most basics. Classical example is when discussions commenced on whether to get vaccinated with the junk after having successfully dealt with primary infection.

Well, perhaps I should have phrased it differently ie. people who "appear to be morons" (although bureaucracies do seem to attract more than their share lol).

By the same token I doubt that the people going along with it all are necessarily de facto morons either, in reality. It does seem emotionally satisfying to believe this, but I doubt it is fair assessment.

There are some human foibles that make some people susceptible to certain types of manipulation, while others not so. History shows us this much. The Milgram experiment as well as the Asch conformity experiments hint at it as well (the ones studying the underlying neurology with fMRI could be particularly relevant).

The obvious contradictions and absurdity had a purpose. As did the repetition of certain ideas/phrases along with the fear mongering and mass censorship. We know that propaganda can be based on absurdity and still be effective.

There's something else going on there that seems to mostly bypass the intellect.

This can go for the people at the top as well. Undoubtedly "useful idiot" syndrome made many appearances (Walensky?), as did mass corruption, but that seems normal in politics and the corporate world anyway and is unsurprising. It's quite possible those at the top (or at least many of them) genuinely believed the "ends justified the means".

The breadth of psychological manipulation involved in this pandemic response and attempts at scapegoating are probably only equalled by some infamous 20th century regimes. Though people overlook (or refuse to believe) that societies are brainwashing cults by their very nature to begin with. This highlights how easily they can take a turn for the worse.

Without wishing to derail the thread, this aspect of the pandemic deserves its own thread.

Not really, everyone on here was raising red flags about this as early as January 2020. It only took a small amount of intellect to actually read and research a few things to notice it was all BS.

Sorry you didn't pass the test but many did. Don't come into the conversation now with "I told you so".

If it makes you feel better, continue to gaslight but at the end of the day you will just feel more shallow and the brave folks that spoke up in the beginning will grow strength from your weakness.

It's really about time we start now, that we start arrests and get this rock show on the road. How much more evidence do we all need. "They" want Ww3 to start to make this narrative to disappear.

It's time to stand strong, much pain is coming and so is truth.

No idea what you're on about there but if it's making you feel good, go for it!

I don't much care who raised red flags about anything. Scepticism is always good but it was impossible to know too much early as the data wasn't available and I rarely give in to belief without evidence.

The best I can do is consider it and make my own mind up. It also didn't become obvious when enough data eventually became available that it was being obfuscated/ manipulated for quite a while (to me at least).

There would surely be no small amount of hubris involved in thinking you had this sorted as early as Jan 2020 and I think your "hero's" remark this way somewhat melodramatic to say the least. Not sure why I should try convincing others about anything when I struggled to make my own mind up. I never set out to save the world.

But I do appreciate those that can argue their point in a reasoned way and particularly when they provide evidence when available, I have found such people very helpful.

I changed my pov when I thought the evidence demanded it. Also because I could see the most vulnerable were being targeted. I still don't claim to really know why.

To do this I don't need your approval, nor do I need to consider your emotional needs. I rarely hold things with absolute certainty, so I'll just as easily change position again if I really think I have this wrong, and experience tells me I have been wrong plenty. I won't care what you think then either.

I'm also not interested in the certainty you offer. Though you might be right about whatever it is you believe, it seems based on emotion and appears fanatical, the flip side of the coin. Not a position I'm likely to take or see as useful.

We do need redress for the wrongs that appear to have happened, and to make sure it never happens again. But I hope the people involved in it at least begin from the pov of trying to understand, and haven't lost the compassion we claim is lacking in others.

Unfortunately, the photo is an accurate representation of the meaning of good “citizenship”in present day USA. They don’t even need the smoke and mirrors anymore, just rip out the part where the breathing apparatus goes.

Is there a way to get the images? They are broken in my end.

While the pandemic lunacy was very real, I think people are getting the wrong idea about "compliance". Also some weird idea that anyone who doesn't agree with their own narrow views somehow must have "fallen for it" or something. Which is irrational in itself IMO.

Which isn't to say covid zealots don't exist. So do their opposite.

At least around these parts it was never a simple matter of "falling for" pandemic measures, they were enforced and rather harshly at that. Without this I doubt there would have been anything like the compliance there was.

For instance there were $500 on the spot fines for not wearing a mask, with instances of people who wanted to argue literally dragged off by the Stasi.

Literal overnight curfews.

For being found outside of your local area there was a 32k fine and or 2 yrs in the slammer. Checkpoints and also number plate recognition was used to enforce this.

Unrealistic fines for not using the surveillance software/system when going to a shop or commercial premises.

Having a visitor to your home incurred something like a $1300 fine for the visitor as well as every member of the household. To make it worse they were asking people to tittle-tat on each other and getting 10's of thousands of reports. This is a method common to brainwashing cults.

At one stage they limited travel to 3ml/5kms. At that stage even local authorities unofficially told people to ignore it and just go about their lives, because the rules were getting so silly and complicated, and changed so often they couldn't understand it themselves.

Exercising with more than 1 person not from your own household got large fines.

Not isolating after a positive pcr test was likely to lead to a manhunt (literally) as well as a public shaming.

They actually barricaded off whole urban areas and brought in the military with air and drone surveillance to help enforce the lockdown measures. The military were also used to enforce quarantine by driving around and ringing pcr positive people who had to wave to them through the window.

People were allowed out of their residence an hour per day to exercise. Unfortunately what constituted "exercise" was left to the discretion of individual Stasi. So people were wearing masks while walking their dog and sometimes while exercising not out of fear from a virus, but out of fear of the authorities themselves.

...and so on and so on.

If you throw in reinforcement and bombardment with fear propaganda, this can have a profound effect on many otherwise reasonable people.

The random or ad hoc appearance as well as the confusing and absurd contradictions of the measures themselves, seem in the end to be designed that way with a specific goal in mind re compliance.

When it was confirmed the virus was aerosolised (which didn't take long) it became obvious the X's telling you were to stand and the plexiglass were all nonsense.

Masks were always nonsense and I know very few who would have worn them given a choice. Especially outdoors.

It also took a while to realise the numbers they were giving us were bogus. The predictive models ended up being ridiculous. It became obvious the mass testing was used as a tool of manipulation to drum up fear as necessary.

The initial lockdown to "slow the spread" that many agreed with (I did at the time) was generally accepted as a temporary measure to buy authorities time to build a plan. When it became obvious that this was the plan it was too late anyway as the measures were already being enforced.

Eventually data and studies showed that lockdowns served no real purpose anyway.

So I have all sorts of doubts about people having some sort of pre-emptive understanding of what was happening, or that they understood it all along. I find it obvious that some of these people have mistaken belief and groupthink for understanding.

So we probably should hesitate to look down on people affected during/by this. I do it myself (morons) but really shouldn't. There were some eerie similarities between what happened here and the methods of brainwashing cults, in particular there were consistencies with societies that become authoritarian.

It actually took an academic specialising in this field of psychology (and statistics), months to work out what was really happening. He also made some very relevant points concerning people running things that was overlooked. Unfortunately extremists on both sides misrepresented his views (it was never about any type of "psychosis").

At various stages, some noticed that something else appeared to be happening underneath it all.

So it's fair enough to laugh at the insanity of it all, that's well deserved. But at a certain point it turns to disdain and hatred. This episode had a way of creating fanatics.

But I don't think we should overlook the manipulation many people went through, or where it lead at a certain stage. Though I know this will fall on deaf ears for many.

Churchill was right that "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it".

There certainly are covid zealots and vaccine fanatics. But what the opposing fanatics seem to overlook is that when the mandates came around, vaccinated people were among their strongest supporters. As shown via the truckers protest and many others around the world.

There are many worrying trends.

Below is where this was heading, and with frightening ease.
