In early 2020 I was struck most not by the powers of the inimitable covid pathogen – powers that were ostensibly uniquely lethal according to the authorities who bombarded us with death counts and images of extreme containment measures and, also, measures to remove the mounting corpses – but by the ease with which the noxious intimation of mortality could so paralyze even the most highly educated.
Again, another excellent post Dr Garcia, and an excellent summary.
I note your comment, 'Instead arrived dramatic warnings and images purporting to show the depth of the calamity in China, in Italy, and in New York … all, in retrospect, a sham, a work of perverse theatre'. I recall this well, the pre-arranged 'victims' lying on sidewalks, the afflicted lining up for oxygen tanks in India etc. Then, as you say, the complete lack of any preventative (prophylactic) treatment or the like. In fact, here in Australia they literally banned doctors (via pharmacies) from filling and then writing scripts for Ivermectin, for one.. Thank you again, a very apt summary!
Maybe it's a eugenics program that backfired. It unwittingly created the conditions that separated the fear-dominated, the docile, the obedient-to-a-fault ... from, as you put it, "those who did not". Which is us. The new species. Homo sovereigntus. Homo integritus. What to call it?

Thank you for this.
My observation: Yes, many people were deathly afraid of the virus, but much of the operative fear was of being shamed and blamed, and therefore socially ostracized and professionally ruined. And the public health messaging about lockdowns, masks, and the jabs, took that well into consideration.
I don't mind a cheap t-shirt. Nor a cheap set of cutlery to eat with. But I prefer good quality shoes and food on my plate.
I don't mind a bit of simple pleasure, good old bread and circuses from time to time either.
But I prefer to see reality more.
Life is for living. Not just surviving like house pets. To be neutered, shut away, taken whenever someone wishes to take you.
Sometimes I think back to cave art and the primal instincts of old.
The hunt. To love. To fight. To win. To lose. To learn. To grow. To die. To set sail and challenge the world. To persevere. To commemorate family and ancestors. To marvel at magic and mysteries.
To me, that's living.
I suppose, we should be happy with the fact we have the integrity and fortitude to live. And can put our hands on our hearts and say. We lived, even when others cowered and didn't.
It might only seem a small victory, but that is just a matter of perspective.
As a natural-born US citizen at the age of 75, I heard many times through the years the repeated refrain, “How could the Germans let that happen?”, usually delivered from a place of assumed moral superiority. Well, now we know, from firsthand experience. Almost as disconcerting as the digital tyranny barreling down on us as a consequence, is the realization that a substantial majority are simply too weak and timid to hold their ground in the face of overbearing group-think and the cowardly social shaming engineered from on high. Once fully seen, the dynamic can be noticed everywhere. A disappointing realization that explains much, and leads nowhere good. Our contemporary Eye of the Needle.
I read voraciously and i informed myself. There were fear driven, uninformed people in my circle. Interacting with them was a severe trial and I worried for their safety. Fortunately they now say no more injections. Immense relief on my part.
Starting in March of 2020, I commented on blogs and commentary sites, at least those that allowed comments, that what was being promoted was a "pandemic" by declaration only, supposedly caused by an imaginary virus. Nothing has ever been presented since then to change my opinion.
I wrote a comment titled "A Funny Kind of Pandemic" on one site and soon after I posted it, it appeared on LRC, claimed by someone else. I don't really mind the plagiarism since it got my message out. My insight, after all, came from the work of Jon Rappaport, the author who made me aware of the HIV fraud. Having read his articles on that earlier fraud which, BTW, was also promoted by Anthony Fauci, made it easy to see the nature of the "covid19" fakery.
Thanks for your Substack, Doc. There are some excellent articles here. Jon Rappaport blogs here:
Gerard Celeste calls it the Covid Wars! We have been in a war that has spanned over three years with no sign of peace...I think peace can only come when defeat is admitted...we did wrong! We should not have done what we did, the criminals arrested, the corrupt politicians imprisoned, the billionaires behind bars with their assets now public wealth. You know there is a thing called Karma...every injustice, lie, bullshit is kept on record and until redemption is sought (after admission of guilt), they who did this will bear this karma in their soul. I wonder how they can go to sleep at night!
I still ache for those who spent time in hospital or died in hospital without any family by their bedside. I ache for the relatives who could not visit, although ... despite their pain, all these relatives obeyed and stayed away. I can’t forget this and I’ll never accept it. Had I been a relative, I would most likely have gotten arrested for causing a serious disturbance while attempting to visit.
I remember the no contact drive by birthday parties, especially the ones for children. The child was kept indoors while those invited would drive by in cars decorated with festive birthday banners. They referred to it as a “parade.” They would make some noise with horns, deposit presents at the curb side, and then speed away. When the cars were gone, the child was allowed to go outdoors and retrieve the presents. That was the height of idiocy but children remember such stuff and consider it as having been normal. How will they act as adults during moments requiring crucial decision making that involve questionable directives?
We live in a world populated by Oblomovists; in reality the infection our world suffers from is not Covid but Oblomovitis, a type of complacency reinforced by a psychological dependence on governmental power. It's this folly that caught on and those who succumbed to it continue to stay home, work from home, order food stuffs online, shop for everything online, and in fact lead lives pretty similar to the ones we all had while on lockdown. These people are the best weapons against us because they've been programmed to depend upon the state for total guidance.
if the covid responset was a sham, and you say it was, then it was TERRORISM. among of course other things: genocide, ethnocide, mass murder, false imprisonment, fraud, racketeering, crimes against humanity and i am sure a trained legal scholar could tell us more
Will we bring Nuremberg II to our country? Or will we simply bend over and take it yet again.
For it will happen again, the nature of the virus and the jab was that this was planned and deliberately executed.
do we sit on our hands and bleat like sheep?
or do we chartge our leaders with the full extent of the crimes they committed and then subject them to the fullest penalty??
Thanks to all for this discussion, free speech is our linchpin.

So right. So shameful.
Beautiful piece.
oblomov was a satire and a cautionary tale. goncharov was warning us about what happens when a society becomes too effete.
and i don't think real-life zakhars are going to put up with the kind of abuse that the real-life oblomovs want to subject us to

Let me ask just once more.
is the use of fear to coerce a response terrorism or not?
if it is do you hesitate to call it such.
I do not. I call out the govts of the west as terrorist?
and all should be charges as such, if law in fact means anything at all
WE MUST call it what it is.
TERRORISM.
if the covid responset was a sham, and you say it was, then it was TERRORISM. among of course other things: genocide, ethnocide, mass murder, false imprisonment, fraud, racketeering, crimes against humanity and i am sure a trained legal scholar could tell us more

Another brilliant article Doc. Thank you. We are lucky to have you.
