Welcome Thinkers!  I have another early COVID-19 Canada Free Press column for you today. Apologies for the STOPthink delay, Part 2 wants to grow a little too large and I find it difficult to remove much and still explain the concept.

The Fearona Virus was by far the most "successful" of my Canada Free Press columns, at least in terms of shares.  It certainly resonated with the public better than other columns.  As the name suggests, the piece focuses on the use of fear to panic the herd into political submission and not so much on the technical nature of Fake News and STOPthink, which is where B.A.D.A.S.S. thrives in its paradigm breaking analysis of the impact of Deceit on our Spirituality, perceptions and in particular, Tyranny's political power process.   

People are beginning to wake more and more as "studies" and "evidence" continue to prove that COVID-19 was not the vicious killer it was reputed to be.   The media are beginning to cover (their butts) the alarming rise in Vaccine Violence consequences, including Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. The vaccinated death trend will continue to rise and it is now only a matter of time before the masses link the excess deaths to the EXPERIMENTAL mRNA gene-altering injections and when they do, well, they will erupt in anger much like Mount Vesuvius did in 79 AD.

There will be calls for answers, and blood.  Hopefully there will be calls for understanding how the massive political hoax was perpetrated.  The answers to How can be found here at BADASS_THE_REAPER.  May people finally be ready to accept that B.A.D.A.S.S. can and does expose Fake News Narratives early in the process, that our systems of governance are corrupt beyond redemption,  and most importantly for the future, demand that our information streams be cleaned of toxic intellectual fuel.  This is not a call for censorship. which is evil, but accountability, which has been missing in action for our entire lives.

Enjoy the lookback.  I'm am curious to know how you feel the B.A,D.A.S.S. perspective is aging.

The Fearona Virus

“We have everything to fear, especially fear itself.”

Do you get the feeling we are caught in the middle of a gigantic, global social experiment whose goal is to measure the power of panic?  To assess how quickly fear can frighten society into stampeding away from its current habitat?  To gauge how far that terrified society will thunder to ease its roiling angst?  To evaluate who and what we are willing to trample in our blind rush to secure safe sanctuary? 

It’s obvious we don’t deal well with uncertainty, and when that ambiguity portends death and destruction, we are willing to cede control of our lives to wise leaders with a sure-fire a plan to rescue us from impending doom.  When the solution is political, however, what we are really doing is insisting everyone else cede control of their lives as well.  To ensure the elimination of the catastrophic risk, nothing less will suffice.  Everyone must fall in line immediately. Equality demands it.

Who heads a Stampede?

Think about it for a minute., who among us is most likely to bolt in fear if not the most fearful?  The people who lack either courage or the self-confidence to deal with threats or unknowns as they arise?  These individuals are the first to succumb to panic and as their agitation builds it captures the attention of others, spreading anxiety like oil on water until the terror triggers a flight response. 

The rush to safety begins and everyone eventually follows.  Those who aren’t quite as scared will join in, just in case, and the rest are simply caught in the rush.  There is safety in the herd, after all. 

The Stampede runs blind.

The problem with a stampede is that only the few at the front, the most terrified, can see where they’re headed.  However, they are not heading carefully down a well-planned road toward safety, they are racing blindly at full speed away from perceived danger.  First things first, the consequences will be dealt with later.

Of course, the whole herd thunders in the same direction.  Those in the middle or rear can’t see where they’re going, all they see is the back end of the beast in front of them and won’t realize their destination until they reach it. 

There is a World Heritage site in Alberta called Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump.  It is a very interesting site and I do recommend a visit should you get the opportunity.  However, take a guess as to what happened to the Buffalo who took the leap?  It was a wildly successful hunting strategy for the Blackfoot tribes as it provided them much food, clothing, and other useful items that could be harvested from the kills.  From the Buffalo’s perspective though, it wasn’t such a great endeavour. 

It should be noted that only those at the head of the stampede need to be guided.  The rest will follow in the desired direction. 

Panic is the most valuable political capital of today. 

It’s true, and like the buffalo, when it comes to Climate Change and COVID-19, we are running blind, unconcerned with the consequences that lay ahead.  The only thing that matters is to escape the looming terror. 

But we’re not animals, we’re a much more intelligent species with significant advantages, such as education and the imbued knowledge gleaned from mass information consumption.  We don’t run blindly away from terror; we seek guidance from wise leaders who can offer protection and security.

All politicians, wise leaders that they are, need to do is design policy to appeal to the most frightened and easily terrorized.  The rest of us are left with little choice but to follow as legislative solutions are rushed through in the crisis of manufactured political panic.

Panic itself, then, is the most powerful political commodity in society because it can be manufactured through the control of information.  Once the process is complete, panic’s exploitation is not only guaranteed, it will be demanded. 

It truly is a brilliant political strategy.

Pick a theme (Climate Change, Covid-19)

1. Raise the alarm. Raise the alarm. Raise the alarm.
2. Agitate, generate fear until panic triggers the stampede.
3. Shame the stragglers into following.
4. Offer the solution that guides the herd to safety. (exploit the panic)
5. Claim success when disaster, real or imagined, is averted.
6. Repeat.

Brilliant and spectacularly successful, yes, but there is always a price to be paid.

Is Freedom Finished?

Climate Change panic is causing us to destroy our ability to produce efficient and affordable energy, endangering the energy grid needed to power civilization, throwing hundreds of thousands out of work, and causing social havoc.  For future, if not dubious, environmental gains.

Covid-19 panic is causing society to shut down in front of our eyes.  Our entire way of life is being upended, if not suspended.  The difference between it and Climate Change is merely the speed with which we are willing to pay a price.

We will face real consequences for avoiding perceived consequences.  The Fearona virus may be the most dangerous pathogen ever created because it targets freedoms of all sorts; emotional, spiritual, moral, physical, and economic.

How much freedom will we lab rats trade for security? 

We will soon see.

Until next time!

Thanks for reading, sharing, and especially for taking the time to THINK!  There will be more Flashbacks coming as part of my effort to show B.A.D.A.S.S. was over the target right from the beginning and does NOT NEED the way too late studies and evidence to make an accurate call on what constitutes Fake News.  

Yes, more STOPthink is also on the way.  

Have a good one!
