Interesting and worrying stuff from the increasing quoted and watched Neil Oliver on the UK's GB NEWS (from last saturday, 20th Nov). Read it all.
"Mark Twain said history doesn’t repeat but it rhymes." In Austria the unthinkable is happening; 'they have history' you say, but "Other countries – Germany, the Czech Republic, Greece, Italy – are on the same path as Austria, towards locking down the unvaccinated." This in the patent and-becoming-more-obvious-every-day [accidentally-on-purpose ignoring of the fact] that the unvaccinated pose no risk whatsoever.
Many of those unvaccinated were therefore working in shops and cafes and restaurants and so on – as lowly servants, if you will – but as soon as their shifts ended they could not be in those same places, certainly not as customers.
Ludicrous, illogical...sinister.
We turn blind eyes and deaf ears to uncounted numbers of girls raped and abused in Rotherham and other towns all over England, for fear of upsetting community relations. We promise never to forget the Holocaust while simultaneously turning a blind eye to the abuse, perhaps genocidal abuse, of the Uyghur Muslims in China.
Neil has words that match my own and many others: "How on earth have we got here, and so quickly?". The totalitarian bent [as you can see from previous posts isn't solely using COVID] has come to the fore and Lord Acton's phrase is so true: "All power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely." In 20 months the direction of travel hasn't changed but the sidle has become a gallop.
Coming to a town near you: "...we have a moral obligation to disobey unjust laws".
Will you obey or will you object?
[Update 23.11.21.]: Lord Sumption in the Telegraph, "Europe's latest wave of Covid authoritarianism has set a dangerous new precedent".
"The absence of moral scruple in pursuit of what is thought to be a public good is the first symptom of totalitarianism"
