Covid and the Kingdom of God

As I write the polls have closed on election day and with millions of Aussies voting the result will almost certainly determine… nothing of any real importance. In terms of how it is impacted all of us, Australia's over-arching issue is that for two years our major parties have adopted extreme measures to “keep us safe” from Covid and these have manifestly done immense harm. The measures haven’t saved us, we need saving from them. I won’t argue that case any further. Having exhaustively, even obsessively, done so for two years I have found it is fruitless if your aim is to change minds rather than just win arguments. However, there is a substantial number of Australians who think the same as I do. So, the Covid resistance minor parties might do well today and make some noise but it won’t matter very much. The majors have shown they will vote together on Covid policy, which is set in a “unity” National Cabinet, so parliament is largely by-passed. Those who support Covi...

Covid and conspiracy part five - total control

When I asked Twitter for theories about whether Covid is a hidden conspiracy people kept mentioning the  World Economic Forum and its founder Klaus Schwab . So, I looked into this odd pairing and discovered disturbing ideas, plans and hopes that, far from being hidden, are stated in an upfront  anodyne manner . These ideas are diabolical and dialectical building blocks used to assemble some of history's worst  nightmares . Some old nightmares are giving "birth" to new ones such as  remote-controlled sterilisation , as promoted by WEF collaborators such as Bill Gates . As it seems Gates, Schwab and their associates believe population growth and consumption are "unsustainable" how might these "enlightened" ones guide us into their better future, or as they prefer to call it, the Great Reset? One way to stop  the teeming masses from “unsustainably” consuming the world’s precious resources and "destroying" the environment would be to p...

Covid and conspiracy part four - fashionable genes

Donald Trump was not the first professional wrestling figure to occupy the White House, at least imaginatively. In the film Idiocracy  professional wrestler and porn star Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho  is US president  500 years in the future because America's IQ level has dropped, which apparently is possible, because as  the song goes “only stupid people are breeding”. This is the worst nightmare of eugenicists and probably what keeps World Economic Forum (WEF) "big thinkers" like  Klaus Schwab awake at night. Eugenics is the bastard offspring of the hopelessly wrong Malthusian warnings about “overpopulation”, which in my previous post I linked to the ideas of the World Economic Forum and its collaborators. These theories have done immense damage. Paul Ehrlich’s warnings of impending doom are credited with convincing the Chinese communists to implement their hideous one-child policy, which has to be considered as one of the...

Covid and conspiracy part three - the problem of people

According to the World Economic Forum the problem is… you. Not just you, also your kids, in fact especially your kids. I am also the problem, it's us, we are the problem. There's simply too damn many of us.  The Forum (WEF) even reverently trots out perhaps the world’s the world's most loved man  to say would it would be better if we’d never been born because population will “stabilize” at a level higher than the poor old Earth can accommodate . “I can’t think of a single problem that would be easier to solve if there were less people,” David Attenborough says elsewhere . It might be selfish but however much I like hearing him describe   sea dragon mating rituals , frankly if there is to be a cull I’m not volunteering and he can lead by example. To be fair he hasn’t called for thinning out the human herd, although he does advocate “population policies” and ominously warns if we don't stop recklessly bringing babies into the world nature will . Suddenly he seems a bit...

Covid and conspiracy part two - what's the big idea?

Previously I tried to round up and summarise the main conspiracy theory(s) about Covid. A common lynchpin seems to be the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Klaus Schwab, who is the NGO's founder and executive chairman, when he isn't performing official duties as  President of the Intergalactic Federation .  I had previously only thought of the WEF as yet another hi-falutin' but basically harmless talk-shop, best known for putting on the annual Davos extravaganza of self-importance. This is where the richest and most powerful people on the planet fly their private jets into a luxury Swiss ski resort for a week to lecture the rest of us on being less wasteful and otherwise engage in a too-earnest orgy of mutual ego-gratification. It's seems the sort of event that if you are not extremely careful you might run into Kevin Rudd. What I wasn’t so aware of is the WEF  Forum of Global Young Leaders  , a rather sketchy training program that apparently has schooled a host of int...

Covid and conspiracy part one - in theory

For Covid panic panic pushers and their enforcers those wanting their pre-pandemic lives and freedoms back are “fringe far-right bat-shit crazy conspiracy nuts”. So I fall under that label even though I have always been very sceptical about conspiracy theories. Having worked in government I find it hard to believe they could orchestrate a intricate master plan flawlessly, quietly and with ruthless efficiency. There would first have to be months of pre-pre-planning committee meetings  where different sections argue about whose job is what and then basically ignore that and do what they want. Covert operations would have to abruptly cease at 4.51pm or risk blowing the secret off-the-books budget allocation on overtime. If SPECTRE was a government organisation Blofeld would press the button for the trapdoor to feed an underling to the sharks and it wouldn’t work as maintenance has a three-month backlog of tasks and the wrong form was filled out . The sharks would probably b...

How Covid became a morality tale

As Age opinion-extruders go, Julie Szego is hardly the worst - that would be unabashed Andrews apologist  Jon Faine . On occasion Szego can even say something remotely sensible , which somehow slips through the production process, before defaulting to the usual tortured nonsense of left tribalist groupthink and partisan barracking .  However, last year as Melbourne winced under yet another interminable hideous lockdown, she produced a sentence so unmoored from any recognisable glimmer of sanity or even common humanity that I had to re-read it a few times to clear away the disbelief. "But – admit it – for a big chunk of us the fact we’re on track to be the longest locked-down city in the world is a source of perverse pride," she wrote . No source of pride could be more perverse than lockdowns. We will probably never know the full mental health toll lockdowns took in Victoria, especially on the young and even more specifically young women who took their own lives in unpreced...
