One of the lingering questions about the Covid panic is why did the West suddenly go insane over a regularly occurring phenomena? Pandemics hit the West every generation or so with varying lethality. Most are like Covid in that they are bad for the old and the sick, but mostly a bad flu for everyone else. Once it was clear that Covid was not the Spanish flu, much less the Black Death, the response should have been like those of the past, but instead we got a panic.
In the United States, the panic started when Trump announced the cancellation of travel to and from Europe. That was March of 2020. Europe quickly returned the favor and then the race was on to see who could be the most egregious with regards to abusing their subjects in the name of health and safety. In the United States that meant laughably ridiculous policies like mask mandates, social distancing and the forced closure of restaurants and barbershops.
Panics are what they are because they are irrational, so much of what happened at the beginning is just mass insanity egged on by the media. The nonsense stories about bodies stacked up in morgues kept getting recycled because there was an eager audience of panic-stricken people. Social media was full of people needing to feel like part of the story by spinning personal tales to support the narrative. Many people derived psychic pleasure from feeling like the end was nigh.
After the chubby nurses had finished their TikTok videos, someone had to notice that the hospitals were not overwhelmed. Forgotten now, but people got curious, defied the lockdowns, and went to their local hospitals to see what was happening. Contrary to the reports, the hospitals were not panicked triage centers. They were ghost towns because everything had been cancelled except emergency care. At some point, the staff had to know what was really happening, but they remained silent.
That is the biggest concern about the panic. We were getting good data on the reality of the virus by the autumn of 2020, and it was clear the virus was something like the Asian flu or Hong Kong flu at the worst. The doctors and nurses had to know this by late summer and early fall, but the public health officials insisted otherwise. In fact, we now know they colluded with the tech companies and the media to silence anyone pointing out the facts about Covid. Why did they do this?
The most common response to this question is to shout, “money or power” and then move onto another topic. No doubt some people made money from the panic, and it did give the managers a sense of power. The trouble is we had plenty of state governments go the other way on the issue of lockdowns. Ron DeSantis is going to make a big deal of the fact he did not succumb to the panic. He was not alone, but he had all the same incentives as other states but did not follow the herd.
Maybe the way to think of the money and power answer here is to put it in the context of the managerial society in which we live. The millions of administrators and their managerial bosses finally had their war. The people who populate the array of public and private bureaucracies dedicated to managing some aspect of your life were finally being called upon to defend the world from destruction. The army of public health experts were going to have their turn on the big stage.
The managerial madness that set in and stayed with us long past when it made any sense was not the crude form of money and power that is the most popular answer to every question regarding the behavior of our rulers. People were not taking bribes or gaining new authority in the system. Instead, the vast managerial class and their administrative underlings finally had the sense of control they had always imagined they should have over your life.
It is important to understand that the people who populate the big chairs in the big offices of this age have been bred for this life. They are like dogs selectively breed for certain sorts of work. Anyone who has owned a dachshund, for example, will tell you they have an innate need to dig. If you let them, they will turn the backyard into the surface of the moon trying to find whatever it is they think is there. The wiener dog lives to root around and find what lies beneath.
Like a working dog, the people in the managerial class are bred for their role, so they have that same desire. Instead of digging around the backyard, they desire to manage the life of people that fall under their area of management. In a crisis, that desire explodes in a mania of micromanagement. In other times, it expresses itself as an endless need to expand their roles and thus expand their control. The manager is bred to manage, and she will manage something.
This managerial madness also explains the manufactured crisis. The same people who went berserk over Covid made the predictable mistakes with Ukraine war. If who you are is defined by how you handle the unexpected, after all, you are the one your people come to handle the exceptions, then you will be tuned to seek out the situations that need your particular set of skills. A form of Munchausen syndrome by proxy has infected the managerial class resulting in endless crises.
The reason the system often feels like it is shaking itself apart is that we are plagued with people looking for a crisis to manage. That has resulted in people finding a crisis where none exists. The end point of a society run by managers is a society run by females standing on chairs shrieking at imaginary mice. This also explains why females now outnumber males in the managerial class. You see this most clearly in health care, where the demand for crisis managers is the highest.
It must be said that a fair bit of what went on during Covid was driven by corruption, stupidity, and avarice. The vaccine boondoggle was just a scaled-up version of the Sackler family opioid scam. It was not the genocide the Sackler’s committed against poor people, but there is still time. The negative effects of the Covid vaccines will not fully be known for a long time. A competent system would have stopped both, but stupidity and corruption make avarice the coin of the realm.
Even accounting for the simple answers, we are left with the question as to why the managerial class went mad with Covid. The simple answer here is that perpetual panic is the natural end to managerialism. Once your society is consumed by a ruling class that imagines itself as the indispensable answer to every problem, they eventually are consumed with the need for problems to solve. We are being destroyed by an out of control need to manage the next crisis.

>> They were ghost towns because everything had been cancelled except emergency care. At some point, the staff had to know what was really happening, but they remained silent. Any Wall Street analyst covering the hospitals or the health insurers had the information to know that covid wasn’t the crisis the media claimed. Probably as early as late July 2020 when second quarter earnings reports started coming out. Hospital admissions were down 15% to 20% — people were staying away from hospitals but there was never a surge of covid patients to offset the decline. At the time, HCA’s CEO… Read more »
Okay, this is a little late, but I hope it will be read by a few people, nonetheless. First of all, I just want to say that it will not be possible to do justice to this horrible episode in human history in a blog post or comments section. The Covid catastrophe needs entire books written about it, many books; and the punishment of the lockdowners, and the care of the lockdown-injured (especially the children) must comprise a major portion of the moral justification for an American regime change. This was the last straw. Secondly, I will stipulate to much… Read more »
Interesting Prop-O,
But “no meat on that-there bone:”
Griller Ain’t Buying!
“The simple answer here is that perpetual panic is the natural end to FEMALE managerialism” Fixed it. As women play a greater role in society, female behavior plays a greater role to play in the societal response to any situation. Most women: + love drama + thrive on hysteria + want to control others especially men + are aware of the newest trends and let the trends guide them + hate criticism and take it very, very personally + value safety over freedom All of the above explain nearly everything we Dissident Right men hate about the modern world. Without… Read more »
Clip that description of female behavior, print it, and give to any boy when he turns 15.
Women are crazier than when I was young boy but boys today at least have more access to red pills on women
I pity men who were raised by single women because they are usually heavily indoctrinated to serve Big Vagina.
Excellent post.
You also can’t forget how women voted. If I had a nickel every time I heard one say:
“I voted for him because he’s handsome”.
“I voted for him because he’s dreamy”
Everything except the real truth – “I voted for him because I’m a fucking retard”.
And a lot of the appeal that RFK Jr now has with women is just for the reasons you cite. As much as I give him credit his willingness to champion unpopular opinions like anti-vaxx and anti-big finance, a lot of the reason that women support him is that the thought of voting for a Kennedy makes their panties wet.
There was an article a few months back about how his rallies are MILF-fests.
Women should not be allowed to vote.
Two big red pills for me were:
1. Seeing the meme that if only men had voted Trump would have won nearly every state. If only women voted, Hillary would have likewise won nearly every state
2. Seeing a poll on building the wall. The group most against it was single white women. Nearly 90 percent opposed the wall.
All that statistics since then on Covid, censorship, the anal revolution etc reflect women as the main problem
Remember those female reporters on the airplane who were slobbering over Barack Obama (ick), yelling at anyone who obstructed their view? And don’t forget the puddles they left in their wake when Bubba Clinton was on the scene.
Many Hollywood panties were moistened when Tony ‘the Twit’ Fauci was riding high. Yup they gushed about him! lol And that dood couldn’t attract a female fly.
Astonishing, but illustrates certain unpopular facts about female attraction to power. They either want to be endlessly empowered directly, or siphon-off the power of weak men.
Either way, the point is to dominate men and rule over them whenever possible. It’s a Gretchen Whitmer nation now.
Isn’t there a bible verse that goes something like “Women rule them and children are their oppressors”?
The women part is self-evident, but I’d suggest the “child oppressors” part would be the fact that black street criminals are getting younger and younger. Some of these murderers and robbers are now what us Boomers used to call “Teeny-Boppers!”
‘“The simple answer here is that perpetual panic is the natural end to FEMALE managerialism” Fixed it.’ Great comment. You’re right, none of this political and racial talk means anything unless and until the Woman Issue is confronted and resolved. The reason Anglo men are too frightened to defy Big Vagina is that the consequences of any such defiance come quickly and furiously, via their pact with the State, which they control, LE and the courts included. Women make you pay if you revolt against the gynarchy by failing to obey. Men in America have learned this lesson and choose… Read more »
Thanks. The best example I have seen recently of the consequences of disobeying Big Vagina was a married Google marketing manager who was fired for complaining about his female Asian boss constantly hitting on him. While that was a great example of the sisterhood punishing a disobedient male, the rationale they used for firing him is very illustrative of the female mindset and why they destroy organizations. Google claimed the evil male was “biased towards high performance employees.” Let that sink in. Women hate to be held to a standard. That is why they tout body positivity and love HR… Read more »
Z, I like you but please get your shit straight for the rest of us. Desantis wore his bitch mask for 3 years and let his Sheriffs arrest beach goers. The asshole lockdowned his state and promoted the vaccine the whole time. He let his local officials do the dirty work, even if he did some symbolic stuff (banning mask mandates only AFTER no one was wearing them anymore).
https://rumble.com/v2q3j3k-2020-desantis-threatens-to-suspend-small-business-licenses-for-violating-so.html
Yeah, this notion that Desantis was some great warrior on Covid bears little resemblance to reality. Don’t forget that he was going to punish the cruise lines for mandating the jab, and then he did f__k all.
He was better than most governors but that was a low bar to clear. Very low.

The entire Sniffles Saga cannot be fully reflected on and understood without also reflecting on the Summer of Love. When that broke out, it went on for months, as exactly the thing that with a real pandemic would exacerbate the amount of sickness and death by an order of magnitude (at least). The Summer of Love allowed to go on as it was within, for instance, a major bubonic plague outbreak would have resulted in enormous stacks of dead bodies out in the open, a large percentage of the population dying all within a month or two. Of course, no… Read more »
The pandemic response was aimed directly at white people*. I knew the whole thing was a hoax after the hydroxychloroquine demonizaton campaign, but once the mantra “racism is a virus” was issued, everyone should have gotten up to speed.
*The clot shots, not so much, surprisingly. Yes, due to their numbers whites were badgered the most, but only due to the numbers. They were literally passing out 40’s and Kools to lure Shaneeka and Shitavious to the vaccination station and running clot shot PSA’s in Spanish on loop.
On the streets of NYC, masks were NOT encountered until Memorial Day Weekend, when they suddenly started to pop up. (Interesting timing?) I am one of those who had been out scouting the hospitals, and the Funeral Parlors, and the morgues. On that Saturday, at Grant’s Tomb, I upbraided a Karen for her silly, fear mongering, antisocial fashion statement (mask). Her response was to pull her face diaper down to her chin and scream “At Least I Care!” into my face – point blank! By the following day, the Yentas were getting bold ON THE BEACH at Coney Island. “What… Read more »

Yep, still see them out and about. ‘Course they might be handy as constant apparel if the urge suddenly strikes to hit a lick, or something…
The demand for crises is outstripping the supply of crises.
“Munchausen syndrome by proxy ” is a good description of the insane managerial class, and sticking that label on them would seem like a good tactic.
Their insanity results in them ruining society’s health, which makes them ever so important and noble – until civilization collapses.
Most people want to feel like they are ‘helping’ , but only those of us who actually have jobs that provide goods or services that people would willingly pay for , are actually helping.
Much lunacy results from useless people feeding their egos junk food
There do seem to be large numbers of people who are experts at how all of society should live and function…….. and nothing else

The root of all of this is the fallacy that managerialism solved the Great Depression. If you ask most people, they’ll tell you about how FDR fixed everything by hiring people for make-work projects, social security, etc. The reality is that all through the 30s the government’s “Our Democracy” fetish was the idea of a command economy since everyone assumed that the fascists and communists were way ahead of us (according to all the phony information produced to appease Stalin). So they paid farmers to burn their crops while people went hungry, fixed prices to ensure that no one could… Read more »

The Democrats who call themselves communists have been all in on “true lockdowns were never tried” ever since the release of that batch of Florida beach pics that falsely made them look crowded.

“Instead, the vast managerial class and their administrative underlings finally had the sense of control they had always imagined they should have over your life.” And as part of that urge to establish and maintain control, the many restrictions associated with the manufactured Covid “crisis” were intended to *train people to obey*.

There is no reproducibility “crisis.” There is no white supremacy terrorist “threat.” There is no “epidemic” of hate. There is no “crisis” in religion. There was never a threat from those refusing the vax. Am I missing one? I’m sure I am. There is only one boss crisis and… Read more »
By the way, I left out a crucial concept. Morality is judging. You hear “don’t be judgmental,” but judging is an inescapable part of being moral. Society cannot exist without morality. Our refusal to judge has led to where we are today.
Ah, but those who scold us for being judgmental are the most judgmental of all.
Yes and they feel entirely justified in scolding you because ‘You started it!’
Just like children.
Ironically enough (or not ironically at all) the original meaning of “bigot” was essentially “one who believes himself to be more virtuous than his neighbours.”
“ Our refusal to judge has led to where we are today.”
You have Jesus to thank for that.
“Judge not lest ye be judged yourself”
The left took that line, ran with it, and here we are.
When Jesus is also threatening you with eternal torture, its hard for people to resist being manipulated by lines like that.
It is the single dumbest, most retarded line in the New Testament and alone is proof that Jesus was no god.
Without getting into religious disputations, I just pointed out in a comment over at Founding Questions that the hypocrisy/pharisaism attack vector is the Progs’ favourite way of undermining Normie McGrillson’s vestigial grasp of capital M Morality.
The fear of being seen to be hypocritical is a chink in Normie’s armour and they go for it every time Because It Works.
But is being judged necessarily that awful? Taken out of context, it’s easy for one to get the sense that being judged automatically portends some kind of punishment, a thing to be feared. But a righteous man isn’t afraid, or shouldn’t be afraid, of being judged by a righteous God. Of course anyone would fear being judged by a petty and capricious judge who had power over him.
“But is being judged necessarily that awful?“
The first part “Judge not” is a direct command from someone who has repeatedly talked about sending people to hell and torturing them forever.
The second part of that line “lest ye be judged yourself” is the consequence of ignoring the command.
The command and consequence cannot be ignored or rationalized away like you are trying to do.
No other culture or religion has such a problem with punishing bad actors as Christian cultures.
Christianity is the root cause of why degenerates cannot be ostracized or eliminated from our society.
“No other culture or religion has such a problem with punishing bad actors as Christian cultures.” No Christian culture had any problem with punishing bad actors. The problem started when Christianity disappeared from the culture. In the Middle Ages, even small crimes where punished with the death penalty. In Francoist Spain (maybe the last important Christian culture), there was no problem in punishing bad actors and ostracizing bad behavior: I was there. It’s when liberalism (liberty, equality, etc.) became the official religion of the State when these things happened. In Europe, Christianity is marginal. In USA, most Christians are Christians… Read more »

Loss of position, end of career, public disgrace. And it remains so to this day. There is something more sinister evident here than mere idiot groupthink. Who ordered all western nations to take the unprecedented, and mostly unconsidered step, to lock down simultaneously, remains just as unanswered a question as who ordered six states to stop counting simultaneously.

A while back, my wife tried to see our doctor when she was a bit ill. But when this fact emerged during check in, the squalling virago behind the desk upbraided her for her cheek, literally declaiming that, “We don’t see sick people here!” She instead had to decamp to her car to await a “telehealth” visit with the doctor. Paid for it as if she had been in the presence of the face shield wearing doctor, calling her from no more than 100′ away, of course. All of the diagnostic benefits from being physically present across from a doctor… Read more »
COVID was the convergence of a few things. It’s existence enabled the election fraud that is now law. The near creation of the lock down industrial complex. If it had went on another year then we would never have been rid of it, and finally the endless money pit of the vaccine boondoggle.

You also need to keep in mind that a large number of state governors are boomers (age 65+), who saw the virus only from their perspective. Also, boomers argued that if anyone young came close to them, they were in mortal danger. Therefore, in boomer style, they punished the entire society to make sure they were safe.
Well, that is very glib, and pat, but painting with such a broad brush is incorrect. There are a lot of us old coots about who didn’t buy it, nor did we push it off onto others. We, from our long life experience, being well aware of the self-serving crap regularly ladled onto our plates by TPTB, as soon as we saw the “Hurry, hurry, get the jab or everybody will either die, or be the cause of someone else’s death!” shuck and jive being foisted upon us, dug in our heels and said, “Nope, this is horseshit”.

Whenever someone starts a generational flame-fest I tend find that most of the derogatory stereotypes are pretty much true.

Each generation thus comes stumbling along and invents whatever self-serving set of bullshit happens to work for them at the moment regardless of its negative effects on everyone else. I will say that the current 20 somethings seem rather uniquely aggressively supportive of whatever the regime is pushing moment by moment. This is perhaps some kind of end-state –… Read more »

dachshunds are actually hunting dogs! they were bred to go down into tunnels and drive out rabbits and so forth.
Daschunds are incredible pets. They are extremely loyal, fun-loving and playful. They are incredibly intelligent. I didn’t know until I got one, but their athleticism is incredible. If you get one, and you are a busy person, get two as they love play and companionship and will need a buddy and playmate. Make it another daschund preferably or a cool bigger dog.

“ …we are left with the question as to why the managerial class went mad with Covid.”
Very simple: get rid of Trump. I watched this whole sordid scamdemic unfold looking askance. My eternal question remains: why did I need a “vax” for a malady that has a 98% survival rate?
BS. All of it.
When you consider that many of the Covid deaths were due to ineffective or downright lethal treatment with ventilators or remdesivir, the survival rate from covid was about 99.9%…Congress, its families and staff, was treated with Ivermectin and zinc, and had a 100% survival rate….
Right. And the Covid death toll is a minute fraction of the official tally.
Get your ADHD meds Boarwild. You had to get vaccinated to protect the already vaccinated. Sheesh. What is so hard to understand about that!?!?
Considering the political atmosphere in AINO at the time the plandemic began, I have a hard time believing that anyone, on any side, didn’t understand the political implications (re: Trump) on day 1, or needed to have it explained to them.
never believe that covid wasn’t planned and deliberate. .
52% of the covid deaths didn’t have to happen. this is from july 2020. very early . it shows 50% of the deaths from covid didn’t have happen. and it shows everyone in the medical establishment knew it.

Someone I knew worked for an extremely rich, powerful Jew – one of the richest, most famous and most powerful, we’re talking billions, but he shall remain unnamed here – and his entourage during the pandemic. I was told by the this reliable source that he and his family were absolutely soiling their pants about COVID, and taking every stringent precaution and having their staff do the same. This was before the vaxx rollout, and I’m not sure how they reacted to that (lost touch with source).
The Ashk know very well that they carry huge amounts of mutational load –> fair bit of paranoia (who woulda thunk?) about any new disease on the block.
Add to that the certainty that this Billionaire would have hired ‘experts’ to advise him on this new phenomenon… and knowing what we know about ‘Experts’…
Spritzeroonie…
Of course whether or not he later took the jab is the Six Million Dollar (mea culpa) question.
The managerial hysteria Z describes, combined with innate feminine fearfulness and the nursing instinct, are very real, and they doubtless played a major role in the Covidiocy. But let us also note how the capitalistic component of the western power structure used the hysteria to its advantage. The corporations joined lustily in the promulgation of panic and lockdowns precisely because they knew they could survive capital shorfalls far better than small businesses. And the longer the panic continued, the more small businesses would fail, thus handing their market share to the corporations on a silver platter. The rest of the… Read more »
Golf clap. More text
The thing shocked me because I felt that socialism might actually be better then what we have now. What if the government nationalized all publicly traded corporations and made them in state owned. Wouldn’t that actually be better than the public-private ‘game of footsy” we have now.
For the record I am NOT a socialist
We effectively have this now. Although the corporations technically are privately owned they are agents of the State. It has not worked well.
I would argue that the State is the agent of the Corporations and the Corporations are agents of the Finks who mange them via wealth funds. The corporations are just an inter-owned and controlled conglomerate subordinate to Finksterism. Even today the WHO is pushing hard for a treaty based digital passport system. It would be the perfect thing for the network of paranoid mobster Finks to keep Riff and Raff in check. If the TV had not promoted the ‘Demic, then no one would have much noticed. In 1969, life went of during a big flu. So, don’t we have… Read more »
Isn’t what we have closer to the idea that was Fascism? It was imagined as a three leg stool of cultural institutions, government and industry all colluding to rule together. Isn’t that exactly what we have?
True, but for it to be pure fascism, that “stool” must be a perch for the volk. Who are the volk in AINO and Western Europe? Basically the deviant and the diverse. It’s a postmodern spin on fascism, I think.
“It’s a postmodern spin on fascism, I think.”
That’s good and, I think, apt. Although, to stroll down memory lane, a wildly disproportionate number of the original Italian version belonged to the Tribe…until new alliances were arranged. For some reason that little factoid doesn’t get much attention.
Yes but why not make it official so that it’s transparent. If you don’t want to go to state run target you can find a local knockoff brand that’s not publicly traded.
That’s sounds suspiciously like fascism.
“Of course, Krupp, I.G. Farben, Siemens and all of the other corporate titans can operate as they see fit…so long as their actions adhere strictly to the measures set forth in the latest Four Year Plan!”
It’s not the system, it’s the people. I’ll take Scandinavian socialism (before they got enriched) over most capitalism anywhere, anytime, but the ideology is not the point. It’s the people. Given the people we have now in our country, I doubt that any system could succeed. I’d advise taking everything you can from our government. We’re in the looting phase and it likely can’t be reversed. Might as well get yours. Most of my instincts are individualist. I want the hard working guy to be rewarded over the lazy guy. I want the guy who invents the better mouse trap… Read more »
yes, the “secret” of Scandinavian success can best be explained by a question……. What system wouldn’t work well in a small nation of 6 million well educated white people?
Exactly, with the right people nearly any system could work. The people have always been the secret ingredient. Exceptional nations are full of exceptional people not third world trash.
The COVID timing is easy to explain. Globohomo needed a way to rig the election against Orange Man in favor of unpopular Dementia Joe and they needed (what became permanent) vote by mail in key states. They even installed a Democrat tsar at the post office to oversee the fraud: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/07/29/u-s-postal-service-opens-permanent-political-division-dedicated-to-the-delivery-and-return-of-mail-in-election-ballots-dnc-lawyer-mark-elias-is-very-happy/
The second reason was in response to the red light warnings surrounding a failing capitalism, they needed an excuse to print trillions of dollars to prop it up as professor Fabio Vighi explains here: https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/a-self-fulfilling-prophecy-systemic-collapse-and-pandemic-simulation/
absolutely right. It was a planned power grab on a world wide scale.
It was literally a global coup. and it worked. now they have the control and power they need to implement the rest of their agenda.
It was also highly convenient in smothering the growing protests in Hong Kong and France. Without a shot being fired in anger – just fancy that!
Hong Kong Expat here. FWIW the protests had pretty much burned themselves out by late November, 2019. IIRC there was a bit of action in TST on New Year’s Eve. Wuhan Lockdown happened on January 23. Took some time for the Hong Kong Government to implement various covid controls and ironically it was the protest faction which was screaming loudest for them and criticising the government for going slow at the outset. FWIW I thought and still think that they had some legitimate grievances, but ultimately they were on a path which leads to Drag Queen Story Hour — therefore… Read more »

Without sounding like a retarded libertarian who brings everything back to the central bank, in my opinion, the warm, bathwater like ocean temperatures for this hurricane to form and develop is the unlimited (literally unlimited) amount of credit that the central bank can create during the lockdown made this possible. At least six or seven trillion was created out of thin air and pumped into the system to keep everyone satiated while they were playing video games in their houses. So much so that the poorest of society saw a substantial increase in their standard of living for a short… Read more »
You are correct. The Covid insanity was essentially a monetary policy phenomenon. I’m going to come back and write a longer post about this, but in the meantime, I am endorsing your comment.
You ask why the managerial class went mad with Covid. But you’d already answered your own question. ‘The end point of a society run by managers is a society run by females standing on chairs shrieking at imaginary mice. This also explains why females now outnumber males in the managerial class.’ That’s your answer. Covid was the global Debutante Ball for Karen. She’s out the box now! Already emboldened by forty years of entitlement, privilege, and empowerment, Big Karen capered and pranced like a sow in shit.

It’s hard to say what is most infuriating about the COVID panic, but the thing that p.o.’ed me most from the outset was the combination of disingenuousness and ignorance on the part of the managerial class. When the panic started, a bunch of academic quacks and frauds came out of the woodwork with models claiming a 100 billion-trillion-kajillion people were going to die from the coof. These quacks were then used as justification for “slowing the spread”. The thing is though that these quack’s models didn’t have an exit door. A 100 billion people were going to die no matter… Read more »
I always wondered to what degree the Covid panic was caused by the higher ups knowing it came from a bioweapons lab and being convinced it was one minor mutation away from being the Black Death. Of course, that could just be me projecting logic onto insanity. These fake experts are really prone to running away with whatever bad scenario they can conjure up in their heads. There are people in the climate scam predicting mass extinction from global warming. Then, when the worst case imaginable doesn’t happen, they can congratulate themselves on how they orchestrated mankind not getting the… Read more »
they created this. they knew what it was. when the powerful want to do open evil , they pretend they don’t know it is evil. the GOP pretends to do everything their base is against , but they don’t say “FU voters” they pretend that they believe what they are doing is what the what their voters want. there is NO insanity there. just evil intent .
I wondered this as well. If you knew (as they did) that it came from the Wuhan lab and was conceivably a bioweapon, you’d assume that the infection would be bad, or as you said, could quickly mutate in the wild into something bad. If this were the case, I don’t believe they would have been so seemingly assured of their safety that they wouldn’t have instituted whole-scale lockdowns immediately (in December/January 2020) when it was clear what was going on. No, their first strategy was to attack Trump as xenophobic for shutting down travel from China and encouraged their… Read more »
In the absence of dangerous comorbidities, most people survived. What was inportant to remember is that the “gain of function” genetically engineered into the virus enhanced its transmissability, and thereby made the panic easy to sell.
Now, other elements of the engineered viral genetic impact are far more dangerous than mere transmissability. The shoes have been dropping left and right on that score. A bioweapon it is.
There is some reason to believe that when the virus first “escaped,” it really was as bad as claimed, but then it very quickly mutated into something less lethal.
Typically a novel disease sweeps through a population and culls the susceptible weak and old. The remaining population (perhaps) sickens, but survives stronger/resistant for it. That the death toll would lessen as the waves passed through the population was pretty predictable. This was shown in the death rates of the time. I’m curious as to just how “bad” follow on Covid mutations would have been had their infected population been “novel”—as in never exposed—as well. We were seeing early on when the Covid tests rolled out big time, lots of folk in the population who showed prior exposure/infection with no… Read more »
I think so, too… Obviously it’s possible to also get reduced mortality after the weak have been culled in the first wave, as another commenter has mentioned. Don’t know jack about biotech but I wonder if hothouse lab-forced mutations might tend to be rather ‘fragile’ in that once released into hosts in the wild, they will have a rapid mutational rate away from their just-released state and then after a while mutation rate will reach some kind of asymptote. If so, might explain some of the early Wuhan panic… the thing could have been much more lethal at the very… Read more »

Jack: Agreed. I, too, used to be a ‘free speech absolutist’ and have also learned the wisdom of censorship.

The problem is free speech is fake and has been for a very long time. What free speech actually means is the enemies of Western Civilization get to say whatever evil they want unopposed, while opposing them is de facto illegal. If any of the free-speech zealots actually believed in free speech, they would have personally guarded George Lincoln Rockwell. But that’s not what they did. They showed up and drowned his speech, attacked him physically, got his speeches shut down. Just yesterday (I believe), a preacher in Reading, PA was arrested for failure to celebrate homosexuality.

As an abstraction, free speech is real. Alas, most of its proponents from the 60s to the present are crypto-totalitarians who never really desired the abstraction to begin with.
Our rulers do not support free speech in any sense of the word. All of them oppose free speech. The only abstraction of free speech they may possibly believe in is their own free speech. They don’t believe we should have free speech. The only “rights” you have are those you can enforce or defend.

They would only only do that if we let them. In fact, they ARE going to eventually do it – they’ve told us so, repeatedly.

That was all good, but you failed to mention a key factor: A few people in high positions in the US govt knew that the virus had been engineered in a Chinese lab to be especially infectious. They weren’t sure just how successful they’d been.
Yep. I vacillate on whether the release was intentional or accidental, but it had the same effect either way.
it started was when the democratic primaries were getting going . if you remember , bernie had an insurmountable lead in the polls . they also showed that trump would swamp him in the general . the Chinese and WEF were not going to let that happen. clearly the timing said it was deliberate.
that allowed them the control they needed to rig the primaries for and the general for joe.
Great essay but the central point is this:
> This also explains why females now outnumber males in the managerial class.
We can talk about managerialism and the failure of democracy all we want, but the bottom line is we have foolishly liberated women and now hysterical behavior is enshrined as society’s greatest virtue.
‘Liberated’ is an apt word I guess, but it also implies that women were once imprisoned, which is BS. We stopped correcting them and checking their excesses. Men and women are supposed to be complimentary and balance each other out. Men got weak.
“Men got weak.” That’s the crux of the matter. Nature made women prone to hysteria and panic. Men are supposed to counter that feminine tendency with reason and proportionality. I’d say one of the biggest problems facing the West is that we don’t really have men anymore — at least not men who honor or even recognize the traditional masculine values (restraint, for instance). That is doubly true of the soy boy types who end up in the managerial class. They’ve undergone considerable feminization through formal education with essentially zero toughening up. These fellas really don’t deserve to be identified… Read more »

One of their senior most managers stepped down from his role in the business and took on the task of driving the world to Zero Covid. We got weekly updates with fancy charts and rah-rah speeches and messianic goals that would be met, if, “we all follow the rules and do our part”, which effectively meant working 12 hour days from home on nothing… Read more »

Were there any leaks or defections due to these calls? Any close calls?
It was a tiny group. We met in person and in stealth worked together in remote areas on occasion to have fun and blow off steam. It wasn’t without risks, but keeping it small enabled us to blow off steam and escape the pressure cooker of severe isolation in the face of the extremely heavy hand of the Regime.

I agree that one big reason that the c-vid problem became a crisis is because of the psychology of the managerial class. This psychological aspect becomes even more interesting when you remember that those at the top did not really believe in the crisis. Remember Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done and Gavin Newsome dining out during the lockdown and Boris Johnson’s whole cabinet partying. Remember the lack of concern over all the BLM protesters without masks.

This did lead to me teaching, and my young teenage son understanding one of life’s very important lessons: if the powerful people who scream about a crises do not personally act like there is no crises, then there is no crises. If there is no actual crises, then what’s it all about? It can only be a scam. Either for money, power, or control. The true believers are a different thing to watch out for, but the scammers are usually pretty easy to spot, if you are observant.
Covid was the most clarifying event of our lifetimes. We saw in real time how horribly broken Westerners (and others, especially Asians) are as people, and how most will go along mindlessly with outrageous, dangerous and destructive diktats. These are the people who allow totalitarianism, which has arrived, and can and will follow monstrous order.

Covid-19 convinced me of one thing, and that is Joe Stalin was right in at least one way. He basically said that if you want to stop having problems you must first get rid of all of the troublemakers.

That’s right, 3,600, and that was the official Government number. I was and am still amazed by the reactions of people when I bring up that stat. Most are shocked like deer in the head lights and say nothing; a very few say Covid was a scam all along, but the interesting responses are from the… Read more »
“I believe Covid was our Chernobyl Event, for today you either believe everything the cloud people say, or you believe everything they say is a lie.”
I thoroughly agree. Many of us arrived there some time ago, but Covid indeed was the Chernobyl moment for the GAE.
Well we are, at the least, lied to concerning anything that is significant and have been for a very long time.
Influenza cases declined during the Covid years precisely because it had been pushed out by Covid, which became the dominant respiratory infection. Only a small subset of the population is vulnerable to catching a respiratory infection at any given slice of time, so the most virulent virus of the season tends to monopolize all the available hosts.
Eugyppius has done extensive work documenting this phenomenon, so don’t go busting out of your drawers with that “not a single person can explain to me” bit of supercilious rhetoric. The explanation is out there, but you obviously haven’t availed yourself of it.
That’s splitting hairs saying “declined”. Yeah, declined from 40 million cases to 3600 cases, based on my crappy math skills, that works out to a 99.99999% decline. Ha!
A better word would be eliminated. The common flu was elminated by the covaids hoax because the juggaloes can’t be bothered or are too stupid to actually build a cohesive narrative. It’s a B level lifetime movie shit script all the time.
You have some interesting points on these boards, but lately I’m starting to get the sense your trolling us.
The official number of influenza cases in the USA is 9 million for the 2021-22 season, so I hav no idea where the 3600 is coming from. Mr. Coalclinker is clearly mistaken about something. And viral interference is a real thing. You don’t have to take my word for it. Here is the link if you would like to read it.

Ah. I sensed a bit of “Alex Berenson” waffling, these guys either are in danger of losing whatever microphone they may have.
Allies still, our guys, as is Dasein- his is the contrarian Diagnostition role, pointing out flaws with vim and vigor.
Virulence has nothing to do with preponderance. Virulence is severity, as measured by symptomatic intensity. And, at any rate, there is little evidence Covid is more virulent than influenza. I’ve had Covid twice, and both were the rough equivalent of a bad cold.
Same here. Perhaps even three times—every winter around Jan 1–for Covid. That would make me having Delta through BA variant. The first two cases *were* diagnosed through testing available at the time. The potential last two cases were confirmed with follow up blood work and antibody counts—IGg3 and IGg4 levels. Only interesting finding is that 6 months after last bout, the antibodies for Covid IGg3 remain strong, whereas boosted people drop off the charts. This is what they tout as “natural” immunity (as vs clot shot). As a side note, my physician is cooperative in this follow up, repeated, bloodwork… Read more »
Really, ID? Was the Flu pushed out by Covid, as in one virus at a time, or was there incentive/inclination to diagnose every respiratory disease as Covid. Certainly, here in the USA, hospitals were paid $13k for a Covid admission and then three times more for a ventilation. Hospitals got nothing extra for a flu case. Not sure Eugyppious teased that one out to my satisfaction. My take is that the flu spread pretty much as always, but was misdiagnosed for various reasons.
A researcher at Johns Hopkins also discovered that in 2020 there was a huge reduction in death by heart disease and a few other killers, and that the total of that expected shortfall very nearly matched deaths attributed to Covid. Very soon after her work was publicized, Johns Hopkins disavowed this woman’s work without providing a scrap of evidence to its contrary.
The panic among the elite and the media over the previously non-controversial drugs ivermectin (Nobel Prize-winning drug) and hydroxychloroquine as treatment for covid was perhaps the biggest eye-opener to me, along with the use of the dangerous drug Remdesivir (“Run Death is Near”)
The whole thing seemed more evil and malicious to me rather than simply managerial glee at controlling things.
Hydroxychloroquine, which was presented as highly dangerous, had long been used to treat autoimmune disorders precisely because it is very safe and has few side effects. There is no way that many if not most physicians knew that.
Yes, hydroxychloroquine has been widely used for malaria as well. At that time, my doctor told me he would never write a prescription for hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, but insisted I take the vaxx. (Of course I dropped him and now have a new doctor who strongly opposes the vaxx.)
It was the widespread use as a malaria preventative that caused the then almost completely white, male doctors to corelate it to a reduction in autoimmune symptoms. Again, this is basic medical knowledge that was widely available to lay people let alone physicians. It would be nice to know how many died who were denied hydroxychloroquine treatment, but of course such a study never will be funded.
Here we had a County Supervisor, who also was a physician, call for a removal of license credentials for any doctor who did *not* recommend the vexxination or attempted to prescribe therapeutics for treatment. For good measure he asked all concerned citizens to report their physicians to the medical board should such behavior occur. We also had a Rep Gov who banned pharmacies from filling such therapeutic prescriptions. Having family in the business, I was told the only way to get such medicine from them was to lie about the illness being treated—and at that, pharmacists were still denying filling… Read more »
early on HFH hospital in Detroit did a study on hydroxychloroquine on 2500 hospitalized covid patients. it showed a 50% reduction in mortality. when asked about this Fauci said ” the study was flawed”. he didn’t say how and there were no follow up questions. I know a nurse and she said the doctors who got it were taking both Hydrox and Ivermectin. CDC covid protocol expressly forbid giving it to patients. multiply the number of covid deaths by .52 and that will give you the number who would have been saved. https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/henry-ford-health-system-study-hydroxychloroquine-lowers-covid-19-death-rate/#:~:text=DETROIT%2C%20Mich.%20%28CBS%20DETROIT%29%20-%20A%20Henry%20Ford,published%20Thursday%20in%20International%20Journal%20of%20Infectious%20Diseases.
“The whole thing seemed more evil and malicious to me rather than simply managerial glee at controlling things.”
Both.
Both, both, both, both, both.
Covid was a manufactured crisis where there was probably more than one agenda. Firstly, there were already problems with the global supply chains. Covid provided a convenient camouflage for those problems. Secondly, it was a convenient way of ousting Trump and installing a brain-dead marionette whose strings could be pulled by the deep state overlords. Thirdly, it was a test run for the emerging panopticon surveillance and control super-state that encompasses North America and Western Europe. Fourthly, and perhaps not so importantly, big pharma made some money out of pimping and peddling murderous “vacciines.” That it was manufactured for ulterior… Read more »
Good list Arshad Ali. There is also the financial crisis that was like being on a jet in a wing seat and seeing the engine on fire. Remember that in September ’19 the bond markets went tits up. There were massive corporate bond rollovers due in ’19 and ’20. The markets could not withstand the smaller ’19 tranche. Money printing was running weekly, making the height of ’08-’14 money printing look like child’s play. I believe that is another huge factor. They needed cover to do a default, and recapitalize through debt the critical industries and to cover for major… Read more »
It was all so obvious to those who could see. The people lost their faith in Christian Morality and the state was more than happy to fill the void with a demonic, preverted, nihilistic morality all its own. Sadly, there is no going back to the before times.
I Thank God everyday he gave me a discerning mind to see through the covaid hoax and that me and mine are still Purebloods!
That’s a good summation.
Ali, spot on. I might add that a political class that can play power/political gain games with a national health emergency such as Covid would have no qualms about starting WWIII in Ukraine should it seem to benefit them and their goals. Such is the danger of that ilk in power.
“The end point of a society run by managers is a society run by females standing on chairs shrieking at imaginary mice. This also explains why females now outnumber males in the managerial class.” Bingo. The managerial class is now feminized. Government is your mommy now, not your daddy. Daddy government will spank you AFTER you do something wrong. Mommy government will try to prevent you from doing something wrong in the first place. Or force you to “eat your peas” for your own good. Sure, there were bugmen and grifters like Fauci involved in the COVID hoax, but even… Read more »
Spot-on from Xman.
Well, Texas was kind of wishy-washy. It was mostly keeping it voluntary officially, but let individual businesses decide if masks and vx were mandatory. Not until late in the game did it protect dissenters.
Male governed phooey!
The most “ballsy” governor was a woman, Kristi Noem, who refused to go along with the bullshit.
She was the ONLY governor who did not shut down South Dakota unlike DeSantis who did shut down Florida for a couple of weeks.
She has been repaid for her bravery by being ignored by the media.
I would argue it’s not so much the managerial class (or the classic assumptions re money and power) as it is the vector between managerialism, feminism, and utterly ordinary people finally receiving the attention and deference they have always craved. Too many people hear “power” and they think simplistically of dictators or military leaders. It’s a basic error of binary thinking. Instead of power (and the implication of brute physical force, torture, or fear) think authority. Most women crave authority to organize and control families and societies in the way they think fitting – i.e. like kindergarten on steroids. Think… Read more »
Remember, “thank God Bill had his booster or his fatal stroke would have been so much worse!”.
There’s no fixing them. Removal is the only way.
Well said 3g4me.
“Add in non-Whites getting the ‘respect’ they have always felt entitled to and the deference from Whites they have always craved.”
This reminds me of Rudyard Kipling (don’t remember which poem) calling Africans “devil children.” He nailed it. They literally have (on average) the cognitive and emotional self control capability of 10-year-old European children.
Many lessons learned which I will never let go of.
Many family members and a good portion of those around me who are selfish to a sinful fault. They couldn’t give a fig about the struggles or suffering of others. Stay home and watch Netflix they said. Most weren’t getting the option of income to do so.
I hate them.
Right now, Nevada is on the leading edge of this …. I watch now from afar. It’s an explosion of fanatical managerialism, with Democrat women leading the charge. Their regular legislative session just concluded. Their elected body has plunged deeply into the deep end of this pool. In a state with little rural or small town population, Las Vegas controls the state — about 600 square miles of Clark County’s 8,061 square miles — dictates to the entire state. Seven percent of the landmass by counties contains 73% of the population. The Democrats have a super majority in the Senate,… Read more »
I’m in Nye County watching the nutty Las Vegas busybodies do their witchcraft. Zman is right, it’s easy to understand burning at the stake when you’re seeing childless yeast collections get a chance at power. The one I cannot get a full handle on is my Assemblyman, Greg Hafen. He swears up and down he’ll protect the right to keep and bear arms for example, yet he is conveniently out numbered. The other new wild card is Governor Joe Lombardo, the “nothing to see here” former sheriff who aided the cover up of the country music mass shooting. He actually… Read more »
You’re there, just how did Lombardo ever get elected govenor after that groveling performance after the Vegas shooting? That whole was so fake that no one with any sense believed anything about the official story. I remember Lombardo looked like the Feds were holding a gun to his head and his family hostage.

Probably a reason for that, I mean they had just got away with shooting a bunch of people in a downtown area.
Mike, I think the way this works is you get both sides when the lawyer comes to your office to discuss things. You get, “I guy like you should be governor, you know, and we are know to deliver on our promises. Also, remind me again: your daughters haven’t ever been r4ped, have they?”
Well, ya’ gotta admit Joe Lombardo is a classic Vegas name. Sounds like somebody who would have opened for Louis Prima back in ’56.
Vince — Lived in NNV 40 years. Spent professional life there. Left 5 yrs ago as I saw what way state was going following retirement. It seems unconscionable to me that a lunatic population infesting 600 square miles of Clark county can dictate with impunity to those living on the remaining 100k +/- miles2 of the state. What, indeed, does an Elko County Rancher, or a miner in Pershing, Eureka or Nye County have in common with the degenerate crazies in America’s adult playground? Saddens me indeed. Due to what I did for so long, I saw most of the… Read more »
If you want to skip to the end of the book, see Minnesota.
In less than 5 years it has completely gone of the cliff and is a smashed heap on the rocks below. I weep inside for my land and the land of my ancestors.
Yep. Nice, eloquent capture!!!
So grateful, primi, NNV is my family, where we’re from.
My heart was throbbing, reading your post.
