Thank you, March, for speaking out about this rather obvious psyop of immense proportions. The direction we’re headed could make 1984 look rather tame by comparison.
Yes. 1984, did not have a significant disease element that I am remembering at the moment, and overall health and illness seem to be fairly normative.
The potential for this planet-wide medical experiment on billions of people … to go wrong … is just wow!
I feel like the generation that grew up watching Star Trek on their television screens, and who really liked the idea of Dr. McCoy using fancy futuristic science to solve complex brand new medical disasters in a few hours…have confused Hollywood with reality.
A couple of things come to (my) mind: "The past is safe. Unthreatening. Behind us. Known." READY TO BE REPEATED IF NOT HEEDED. The second point is that we cannot understand worldly events without considering the spiritual. Even more so as this COVID dystopia the powers that (should not) be aim to permanently attach to us with feudalistic madness. When Israel asked for a human king to replace God, the prophet Samuel warned them what human government would do to them in 1 Samuel 8. It describes the future dystopia we are living, yet it is a utopia for the rulers who profit, because they will be brought down. This passage is well worth a read.
Yes. One of the best things about life on planet earth, is our ability to consider those things which are not concretely presented to us or readily defined by the material world. The United States of America is a strangely blended culture of faith and secularism, and it feels like there is an ambience of combativeness between these two perspectives that leads us to often avoid the topic.
I remember when I taught ballroom dancing I was instructed to not discuss sex, politics, or religion with my students. That was pretty standard.
And so, I sometimes look to the east, and cultures that have inculcated their faith into their lifestyle, with everything from meditation to rituals around the house to a spiritual component that can be seen in the preparation of food or the way in which people garden.
When we lose our appreciation and respect for the mysteries of life, we lose so, so, so much.
Wow. That was great. If history has provided evil doers a blue print on how to control us then by now we need to figure out a way to reverse engineer a better result than all the above Communist states. Never understood how the world could just watch the Nazis and others slaughter their people... sadly I now get it. Fear, cowardice and outright stupidity.
I agree! I appreciate Suzanne Collins being willing to go into the challenging final moments of the rebellion. Many authors dodge the tragedy, and she did not hesitate.
In particular, her willingness to present the leader of the rebellion as equally power-hungry and flawed and willing to do anything to win, as President Snow, was so wonderful.
History is filled with examples of society jumping from the pan into the fire as one extreme, controlling person or movement overtakes another.
This is fascinating stuff.

Fascist is a closer description for these "communist states."
