Why is not the other way?
People have the power and we should use it
The current pandemic mess is an opportunity for people around the world to get more freedom, more liberties, more respect and fairness. It’s not enough to ask for stopping current restrictions. We must ask what we want.
The only way to end this madness is to force our government officials to answer our questions and not their questions. Good reasons speak for themselves so the government officials should be incentivized to explain more. The opposite is true, less explaining by government officials might be caused by hidden or bad intentions.
An article from www.zerohedge.com, Now Or Never: The Great 'Transition' Must Be Imposed
Q1: What is ‘The Great Transition’? Why ‘must be imposed’? Did we agree to this? Why even people talk about ‘The Great Transition‘ when seems to be against their interests? Me personally, I do not remember agreeing to anything like these. Let’s start talking about what we want ‘A Great Transition’ to be and let’s do it.
“A new wave of restrictions, more lockdowns”
Q2: For what goal(s)? Was it debated? What type of restrictions? When and how are the lock downs implemented? Is there a smartest, a wisest, an everything under sky knowledgeable person that can rationalize completely and predict what’s next, so such person can take decisions like these? As far as I know, with my limited understanding, usually these types of persons are not from this world.
“Vaccine mandates are everywhere”
Q3: How did we get here? Let’s say, once upon a time, it was a vaccine that was safe and effective. The more the vaccine was administered to the kingdom obedients, the more it became clear it was neither safe nor effective. So why was it still administered? No human logic can answer it.
No comment for the other things in the article.
Still, why are the population control measures becoming more restrictive? Why do such measures go one way, usually against people interests? Why does the medical progress seem frozen since the last year, while the most advanced vaccines in history were developed in less than 6 months? Medical methods should have been developed by now so that the population control measures would not be needed. Who was in charge for the national health and why they are not asked such questions?
Who still have the power in our imperfect democracies?
People have the power, and until someone take it away form us, we should make use of it. We have to ask our elected officials: why? what? how? when? where? who? and not rest until we get the answers.
Yes!
People need to constantly apply this principle:
'YOU CLAIM; YOU PROVE."
VERIFY. VERIFY. VERIFY.
We can simply do the verification by demanding them to back up their claims with irrefutable evidence. if they cannot, or would not, demand that they pay you the $1million they owed you. If they, then, suddenly demand evidence, they you got them! From my experience, their responses would be some wry, sheepish smiles.
It is obvious to me that we allow them to dictate debates and hence control by merely responding and trying to disprove their lies, rather demanding them to prove what they say; and remind them of their track records. For example, anyone who knew the track record of Prof Neil Ferguson would not believe him to tell them the day of the week! And ask why would govts and others quoted him with approval.
The problem is that democracy is just an illusion. We don't really have any power. We just think we do.
