Health totalitarianism: “It’s for your own good”... Radical evil

May 13, 2020

"The project is to save humanity by killing the humanity in each of us."

Vincent, from my Facebook page.

"But what purpose could possibly justify, in the present circumstances, the means capable of annihilating humanity?"

Hannah Arendt.

We could also say "the project is to save humanity, by killing humanity".

Concretely, where I am in Colombia, the forced quarantine since the end of March is causing real hunger.

No welfare, no income, no retirement, no social security, no unemployment.

People are starving.

Animals too.

Really, is it the health of the people that we are concerned about?

Today, everyone is potentially guilty.

This is the law of suspects.

"My neighbor is potentially contagious, therefore my enemy, therefore guilty.

And according to my own little interpretation, I will denounce him and attack him."

This is what happened to me at the store.

Here, we only have one day of going out allowed per week, mandatory mask, temperature taken at the entrance to the store (with devices that give me 35 degrees each time, but no anomalies of course), mandatory disinfection of feet and hands.

The temperature of the working staff is taken regularly by pointing luminous devices that look like micro-guns at their foreheads.

So, I was behind my shopping cart at the checkout, 2 meters from the person in front of me who started to attack me to tell me that I had to move further away from her.

She went to report me to the security guard.

She probably estimated that I was 1.95 meters and not 2 meters, it's a personal estimate. There was at least one shopping cart between us and more, and everyone with masks and gloves.

This did not prevent this lady from standing very close to the security guard at the time of the denunciation, but he is different, the security guard is not contagious, because he represents "security", "authority", "order". It is not as if he meets a thousand people or more a day, while I never leave my farm and hardly see anyone, in quarantine for almost two months now.

Yesterday, the police came to the market.

The government had said that some professions could resume, with a precise list. For 1.5 months, it was time, everyone is dying, except the big brands.

So these professions went back to work, trying to implement the imposed hygiene rules. The police closed the shops, sealed the goods.

It was necessary to have obtained a "work permit" from the political authorities.

Declare all hygiene protocols. It seems that you also have to pay for this, and even if that were not the case, it requires an investment, whatever it may be.

All employees must be declared.

But here most workers are informal, no one has the money to pay the social charges required by the State, and there is not enough work. And no unemployment insurance.

The police have issued fines to people who have not been able to work for 1.5 months.

Who have children, families, elderly people to feed at home.

Sometimes disabled people.

People didn't know about the "special permit" (no one did).

They rebelled.

Desperate punches were fired. But the police put down these insolent people, particularly with fines. To people who have no money because they cannot work but want to work.

So let's summarize.

For public health, people have not been allowed to work, and therefore not allowed to eat, for weeks, and when they want to go back to work, they are forbidden to do so by being asked to invest money that they do not have to go back to work.

It's like the taxi drivers who were asked to sell their vehicle, that is, their work tool, to eat during the quarantine ( see Claudia's testimony on the foundation that I chair), so it is quite certain that they will not be able to work again afterwards.

"Public health", really?

Don't think it's only here in Colombia.

Those who carry a contradictory, or dissonant, or simply critical voice with respect to the dominant inquisitorial propaganda are persecuted. And that is already in Europe.

They must be silenced. Forbidden to think or debate.

They could challenge delusional certainty, instill doubt.

IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!

"The project is to save humanity by killing the humanity in each of us", yes it is a very paranoid project. Thank you Vincent for saying it so well.

"For our own good", our freedoms are being taken away.

"For our own good", the economy is falling precipitously; work is stopped, the small self-employed, small entrepreneurs and the most vulnerable are much more weakened.

"For our own good", millions of people are suffering from hunger.

"For our own good" we are divided and accused (all suspects and potential carriers of an invisible evil).

"For our own good", children will be separated from their families (see WHO statement).

"For our own good", we cannot touch the faces of the people we love one last time when they die.

"For our own good", our elders are further isolated, mistreated, left without resources as here, or even abandoned to their fate or worse, as in France.

"For our own good"... you can complete the list...

Surely, it's really "FOR YOUR GOOD"?

Thank you Alice Miller.

Nota Bene, philosophical bonus: does the end (saving the world) justify the means (mistreating it, starving it, destroying it, etc.)?

"It is in the emptiness of thought that evil is inscribed."

Hannah Arendt.
