After September 2001, I used to say to people next to me in line "This is the step right before the gas chambers."

I was sure my fellow humans would not submit to government bodily invasion and we would all make short shrift of the new TSA.

I was surprised and saddened that I turned out to be an outlier relatively alone in pointing out this was “unconstitutional”.

It was then that I realized most fellow humans, friends and family, did not want to do the work of examining. Anything. And that for some, “safety” was more important than liberty. And that the fear of death trumped all for my species. That closing their eyes tightly to the obvious ridiculousness of the September 2001 narrative was preferable to the work of resistance.

I was involved in coordinating a radio broadcast of a new environmental bill being read in Congress that morning, so had colleagues in Washington DC and even they have never doubted the official story.

I always loved flying - but after 2001, have been torn apart every time by the Stasi TSA. Locally, in state, out of state, federally and internationally. Don't know why me, but they always pull me aside and tear my clothing and backpack apart. For 21 years. While my family stands and watches. I've learned to LOVE trains, ferries and cars.

Now, when you combine the above with “higher education” you have the perfect conditions for Emperors with no clothes, Pied Pipers and magical deadly injections.

My family being Stanford (neurologist), Cambridge/Harvard (Royal Institute), Berkeley (journalist), MIT (engineer) educated are almost completely clueless about everything important. They have gone through the sham of "higher" education. Lies, debts and brainwashing for empty prestige.

Whereas I never thought I knew better than the creator of life and have never thought anyone else does either.

TSA: about 15 years ago, I had surgery to correct a small umbilical hernia, which included the placement of a mesh. I forgot about it until I began taking international flights out of Newark, NJ Airport. There is something about this mesh that triggers the security system at Newark. It doesn't happen anywhere else. The system must be really sensitive, I guess because the woebegone hijackers heading towards Washington DC on 9/11 flew out of Newark. Let that stand as a warning to us!!! At Newark, I have been subjected to extensive searches as I get pulled out of line, am escorted to a side area, wait for a supervisor, who then pats me down and checks my hands for gunpowder. The last time this happened, I was on my way to Mexico. We were just coming out of the covid lockdowns here. As I waited, I lifted my head, something often done by people who seek divine intercession they know will never arrive. That's when I discovered there was a ramp nearby upon which stood well-armed persons in military uniforms. One of them had an automatic rifle pointed at me. I found it frightening. Then, as I was being searched, I looked up again to discover the rifle was still pointed at me. This time I got angry and raised my middle finger up high in protest. No one fired at me and my middle finger is still with me, helping me type this.

An excellent essay, as usual, thanks, Doc. As an ageing grandchild of the British Empire, I know how you feel. We too are urged to 'think of the roads'. And the railways (certainly not built for the natives), and the legal system, even the exported parliamentary system.

The UK has continued its colonialism, of course, through the City of London. And now the MHRA (our pretend medicines regulator, which shills for Big Pharma and took £980,000 from Bill Gates during the vaxx development stage) is attempting to be a global hub of the 'new medicine', i.e. mRNA everything, AI instead of doctors, 'vaccines' in arms within 100 days of announcement of the latest 'pandemic'. All backed by Gates and to be exported around the world from the mothership.

That the Bank for International Settlements has also recently set up shop in London, with no UK official allowed by law to enter its hallowed portals, should also point us towards the UK's continued role in all that is happening. Well, not the people of the UK, obviously. The City of London has no more interest in the 'cattle' in this country than in any other that it continues to oppress.

Rome never fell - it simply relocated a few times. It is in the City of London since the times of William of Orange, so we could say that the British Empire was never British but Roman incognito.

excellent, thank you. Has Nazism fallen I wonder ...

NewZealandDoc, in answer, no, Nazism has not fallen. It also relocated, to the US, unfortunately, and did so through careful and clandestine initial planning. It thrives here under different names, of course, and from here it spreads its tentacles to the world at large.

I had to go through a full blown TSA search at our local hospital to visit my husband, the patient...

I am a fellow psychiatrist and enjoyed your essay. Isn’t Garcia more Spanish or Portuguese?

Yes, it's Spanish in origin ... let's say I'm a mongrel :)
