The world\u2019s permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies (\u201cdeep states\u201d) together with their perception managers in the Mainstream Media and the education system are hiding a very dark reality from everyone that\u2019s much more nefarious than what the Wizard of Oz hid from Dorothy.<\/em><\/p>\n

The \u201cDeep State\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing is ever as it seems, especially when it comes to the modern world in which everyone lives. \u201cThere Are No Democracies Or Autocracies, Only Governments<\/a>\u201d, I wrote last week, and they\u2019re all comprised of permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies, or \u201cdeep states<\/a>\u201d, which handle matters largely considered (whether rightly or wrongly) to be beyond the responsibility of the average citizen. This power structure is allied with influential perception managers in the Mainstream Media and the\u00a0education system<\/a>\u00a0in order to hide a very dark reality from everyone that\u2019s much more nefarious than what the Wizard of Oz hid from Dorothy. Supporters might say that \u201cit\u2019s better this way\u201d since \u201csociety needs to be controlled\u201d whereas critics claim that this is highly manipulative and against people\u2019s fundamental human rights. Whichever side of the divide one falls on, there\u2019s no denying that the real world is much worse than the average person thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cBread & Circuses\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

All people across the world are strongly encouraged by their governments to go about their daily lives and behave as economically productive and socially responsible citizens. To this end, they\u2019re distracted with \u201cbread and circuses\u201d by being kept above the minimum subsistence level at the very least and pressured to focus more on their personal pursuit of happiness than everyone else\u2019s. The exception of course is those who show a sincere interest in how the world works and are considered by the so-called \u201cpowers that be\u201d as \u201cideologically reliable\u201d after years of relevant indoctrination in the higher education system. This elite category of citizens learns how the world really operates after getting to peek behind the curtain ahead of actually getting to play a direct role of some sort in managing this secret state of affairs. Sometimes average people learn about the truth on their own or through whistleblowers, but it mostly remains obscured.<\/p>\n

Information Warfare<\/strong><\/p>\n

The system upholds itself by obsessively discrediting those intrepid enough to research its inner workings and publicly share their findings as so-called \u201cconspiracy theorists\u201d, \u201cforeign agents\u201d, or whatever else. That\u2019s not to say that there\u2019s no such thing as factually unsubstantiated speculation that can legitimately be described as a conspiracy theory or that foreign powers aren\u2019t infiltrating society through actual agents and even those of so-called \u201cinfluence\u201d (the latter of which may not even be conscious of the role that they\u2019re playing), but just to point out the techniques used to discredit those who occasionally break through the \u201cdeep state\u2019s\u201d informational firewall in order to enlighten the masses about what\u2019s really going on. In fact, different countries\u2019 media outlets are presently waging an intense information war against one another\u2019s target audiences in order to convince them that their own \u201cdeep states\u201d are lying to them, which adds a hybrid dimension to all of this.<\/p>\n

The New Cold War<\/strong><\/p>\n

Behind the \u201cglitz and glamour\u201d of the \u201ceveryday life\u201d that most people have been misled by the \u201cdeep state\u201d and its perception management allies into believing is \u201creal\u201d, the world has actually been in the midst of a\u00a0New Cold War<\/a>\u00a0since long before its seemingly official commencement in 2014 following the US\u2019 simultaneous attempt to more openly \u201ccontain\u201d Russia and China in Eastern Europe (Ukraine) and Southeast Asia (the South China Sea). This is also taking place against the backdrop of profound civilizational changes in the information-communication, military technology, economic-industrial, and healthcare fields that will fundamentally revolutionize life as everyone knows it. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic (regardless of whether one believes it\u2019s real, fake, or exaggerated) ushered in a new era whereby \u201cdeep states\u201d across the world are now actively working to indoctrinate everyone into accepting this \u201cnew normal\u201d that was already a long time coming.<\/p>\n

The Truth About US-Chinese Relations<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For starters, the post-Old Cold War system of American-led unipolarity was structurally unsustainable as proven by historical precedent. It ended a lot sooner than its most passionate supporters expected due to the US\u2019\u00a0inadvertent subsidization<\/a> of China\u2019s unprecedented historic rise as a result of its leaders\u2019 self-interested economic motives that are nowadays dishonestly dismissed as so-called \u201cmisplaced optimism\u201d over that country\u2019s supposedly \u201cinevitable liberalization\u201d via trade with time. Although some elements of the US \u201cdeep state\u201d consistently sought to subvert and ultimately destroy China as they\u2019d attempted to do since the 1989\u00a0Tienanmen Square Color Revolution<\/a>, they failed to succeed both because of their target\u2019s structural resilience and the lack of support from America\u2019 economic and political elite that had an interest in indefinitely profiting from China\u2019s astronomical rise.<\/p>\n

Reinterpreting Russia\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/p>\n

As for Russia, it was never the \u201canti-Western Phoenix\u201d that both its top foreign supporters and detractors alike misportrayed it for different reasons but always sought to incorporate itself into the larger Western-led world, albeit in a manner<\/a>\u00a0that preserved as much of its sovereignty as possible. This was unacceptable for the West which demanded full submission, especially to the diktats of hyper-liberalism in both the economic and social senses, which prompted President Putin to proudly resist these efforts while nevertheless always keeping his country\u2019s olive branch extended. Russia simply wanted to carve out its own comfortable niche in the US\u2019 \u201cNew World Order\u201d instead of reattempting to following in its predecessor state\u2019s revolutionary footsteps by pioneering an entirely new one. The public friction between the US\u2019 unipolar demands and Russia\u2019s multipolar vision was responsible for the world finally beginning to realize that a New Cold War was afoot by 2007-2008.<\/p>\n

Great Power Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s much-hyped \u201ctrade war\u201d with China was really just him trying to revert back to \u201cthe good \u2018ole days\u201d of the pre-globalization era, though of course modified a bit to accommodate for some of the irreversible processes that had since unfolded across the world in the decades since the US-Chinese d\u00e9tente of the late 1970s changed the very nature of the global economy. He also more confidently popularized the notion of the New Cold War by openly embracing Great Power competition, which never actually went away since the end of the Old Cold War but the illusion thereof was simply a masterful means for managing the perceptions of the global population by getting them to focus less on international affairs and more on the plethora of \u201cbread and circuses\u201d that were produced since 1991. Trump\u2019s vision also aligned with the irreversible trend of multipolarity, accelerated as it was by the US\u2019 own missteps of the prior decades, which \u201cnormalized\u201d the New Cold War.<\/p>\n

The Military-Industrial Complex<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amidst all of this and even arguably preceding it for quite some time already, the Great Powers (first and foremost among them the US, China, Russia) were already intensely competing in multiple domains, with only the economic one emphasized in the public sphere (and even that wasn\u2019t even widely recognized until Trump\u2019s presidency). Militarily, all of them continued to develop new weapons systems, including missile defense shields, hypersonic missiles to piece the former, drones, and space weapons. Their military-industrial complexes have been working on such munitions for a long time already, and the rare instances in which the public accidentally caught sight of them were conveniently described as so-called \u201cUFO sightings<\/a>\u201d in order to distract the masses from what was really going on. Everyone was aware of this arms race during the Old Cold War, but it became taboo to talk about after 1991, though that\u2019s recently changing since it\u2019s becoming impossible to deny.<\/p>\n

The Information-Communication Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

The other trend that took place during these decades was in the information-communication industry. The global spread of the internet gave certain countries like the US a strategic edge, especially in intelligence collection, though that\u2019s now being challenged by China\u2019s cutting-edge technological developments and its much more affordable competitive products. The controversial concept of 5G is just the latest stage of this game. It basically functions as the means for managing the \u201cInternet of Things\u201d (IoT), which will further enhance its pioneers\u2019 strategic edge. Although there are reportedly serious health risks associated with it, the nature of the New Cold War is such that no actor can afford to delay this technology\u2019s development out of fear of irredeemably falling behind its \u201cpeer competitors\u201d. The hullabaloo about Huawei and other Chinese tech companies is simply a public cover for justifying the US\u2019 power moves against its top technological competitor.<\/p>\n

The \u201cFourth Industrial Revolution\u201d\/\u201dGreat Reset\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The IoT will facilitate the \u201cFourth Industrial Revolution\u201d (4IR), which will totally transform mankind\u2019s economic-industrial relations considering the increased dependence on autonomous systems. This project was already proceeding apace prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the virus (again, whether or not one believes it\u2019s real, fake, or exaggerated) served as the pretext to accelerate its rollout across the world in the most dramatic way possible via what\u2019s now widely regarded as the \u201cGreat Reset\u201d (GR). The resultant outcome will necessitate greater state intervention in the economy in order to subsidize the newly unemployed masses, which will resemble a comparatively more \u201csocialist\u201d system, even if only imperfectly\/superficially Some might even describe the state-corporate partnerships that emerge from them as being more akin to \u201ceconomic fascism\u201d, which hints at a worldwide competition between \u201csocialist\u201d and \u201cfascist\u201d systems in the future.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 Vaccines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regardless of the semantics that one uses, there\u2019s also no denying that mankind itself might be somewhat genetically different in this dark future than it presently is as a result of the experimental gene therapies that are being pushed upon hundreds of millions of people under the pretext of serving as vaccines against COVID-19. There are high hopes that mRNA technology might truly achieve miracles like curing cancer if responsibly utilized, but such technology requires many more years of testing before it has a credible chance of changing the world for the better with the lowest amount of risk possible The COVID-19 pandemic has been exploited by Big Pharma in order to test these treatments in real-time on the largest number of people in order to accelerate this technology\u2019s development considering the competitive context of the New Cold War. The West was already far ahead in this field, hence why most of its vaccines are mRNA ones, unlike the non-Wests.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollateral Damage\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can\u2019t be known for sure, but Big Pharma (and presumably also its \u201cdeep state\u201d backers) probably only sought to experiment on hundreds of millions of people in such a deceptive way because they sincerely thought (whether rightly or wrongly) that the consequences are minimal and that the \u201ccollateral damage\u201d can therefore be \u201cmanageable\u201d. They might truly believe that any long-term health problems that these experimental gene therapies contentiously marketed as vaccines might cause could in theory be treatable within the next decade following the quantum leap that this technology might make by then as a result of this ongoing real-life mass testing. This line of thinking presupposes that the symptoms of such speculative problems might not occur until the next decade, which is, of course, a risky bet to make and arguably unethical if that\u2019s the case since those being experimented on \u201cin the name of the greater good\u201d might not be aware of it and thus didn\u2019t consent.<\/p>\n

Genetic Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n

To expand a bit more on the topic of vaccines, it\u2019s questionable whether the mRNA COVID-19 ones even present a viable solution to the pandemic (again, whether or not one believes that it\u2019s real, fake, or exaggerated). After all, COVID-19 no longer exists in its \u201cpure\u201d form after having evolved countless times into new strains which might be impossible to perfectly vaccinate against anyhow. This means that the experimental gene therapies that many people have already taken might actually be redundant, ergo the need for more vaccines to supposedly counter forthcoming strains, which in turn actually leads to more real-life testing for Big Pharma to accelerate the perfection of this technology ahead of its foreign competitors. Once that happens, genetic engineering could even lead to \u201csuper soldiers<\/a>\u201d and human-animal hybrids (\u201cchimeras<\/a>\u201d).<\/p>\n

The \u201cGreen\u201d (\u201cDepopulation\u201d) Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other dark reality hidden from the public eye by the \u201cdeep state\u2019s\u201d perception management operations pertains to the speculative campaign of \u201cdepopulation\u201d. There\u2019s no denying that there are some influential forces who are in favor of this for ideological (\u201cgreen\u201d) and \u201cpragmatic\u201d (\u201coverpopulation\u201d) reasons (especially in the context of the unfolding 4IR\/GR), but it\u2019s unclear whether the ongoing mass vaccination of hundreds of millions of people with experimental mRNA gene therapies is part of this, at least directly. While nobody knows for sure what the effect will be on fertility, it can reasonably be discounted that these treatments are meant to kill off many people in the near future. After all, despite the 4IR\/GR, the \u201cdeep state\u201d still requires a tax base and some human labor to build the \u201cnew economy\u2019s\u201d machines. Considering the fact that so many younger people have already been vaccinated, it\u2019s unrealistic that they\u2019d kill off their most promising labor pool.<\/p>\n

Trump Spills The Beans<\/strong><\/p>\n

In any case, the global public must become aware of the so-called \u201cgreen agenda\u201d, which is also part and parcel of the earlier mentioned trend towards comparatively more \u201csocialist\u201d\/\u201dfascist\u201d economic systems. The climate is veritably changing regardless of whatever one attributes this to, be it mankind and\/or natural cycles, but every \u201cdeep state\u201d has an inherent interest in exploiting this to enhance its power over the population. That\u2019s not to say that every member thereof is doing so for \u201cevil purposes\u201d since many might sincerely believe that it\u2019s for the \u201cgreater good\u201d however they rationalize it, but this dynamic is undeniable. Former US President Trump did a lot to popularize awareness of this and some of the other trends that were earlier discussed, which he did on his own prerogative but in a way that greatly upset most of the world\u2019s \u201cdeep states\u201d, including his own. This explains the universal revulsion that they had for him.<\/p>\n

QAnon & \u201c5D Chess\u201d Canard<\/strong><\/p>\n

In their minds, Trump wasn\u2019t supposed to \u201cspill the beans\u201d about the way that the world really works since he\u00a0wasn\u2019t supposed to have been elected<\/a>\u00a0in the first place. The \u201cdeep state\u201d made sure\u00a0by hook or by crook<\/a>\u00a0that he wouldn\u2019t win a second term and thus stand a greater chance of reforming some of their forthcoming governance plans in the context of the \u201c4IR\/GR\u201d (\u201csocialism\u201d\/\u201dfascism\u201d<\/a>). Furthermore, they feared that he could inspire the most passionate members of the population to peacefully exercise their political rights through rallies and the like in an attempt to meaningfully change the situation, even if only by publicly showing how popular his envisioned future was among the masses. The response to this \u201cthreat\u201d was the\u00a0QAnon<\/a>\u00a0movement<\/a>\u00a0which sought to pre-emptively neutralize these forces by capturing their minds through the manipulative narrative constructive of \u201c5D chess\u201d, which is just a coping mechanism for dealing with reality.<\/p>\n

The Hybrid War Of Terror On America<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That said reality is that Trump was basically \u201ca king without a country\u201d since the most powerful elements of his \u201cdeep state\u201d continued to oppose him at every twist and turn, thereby sabotaging his envisioned policies. Instead of peacefully rallying in his support when he needed it most, his top supporters were brainwashed into thinking that \u201che had it all under control\u201d and that every objectively existing setback was really just a \u201cmasterful 5D chess move\u201d. By surrendering the streets, they facilitated the kinetic phase of the \u201cdeep state\u2019s\u201d\u00a0decades-long Hybrid War of Terror on America<\/a>\u00a0via Antifa and \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d (BLM), which paved the way for the\u00a0dystopian hellhole<\/a>\u00a0that Biden\u2019s presently presiding over as that same \u201cdeep state\u2019s\u201d\u00a0puppet<\/a>. The only \u201cstorm\u201d that ever arrived was the \u201cdeep state\u2019s\u201d on election day. The\u00a0successful anti-Trump regime change sequence<\/a>\u00a0led to the \u201cswamp\u201d finally\u00a0swallowing him<\/a>\u00a0and Biden\u2019s \u201cCyber Stasi<\/a>\u201d suppressing most subsequent digital dissent.<\/p>\n

Social Media Censorship<\/strong><\/p>\n

The digital dimension is so important too because it\u2019s the only realistic \u201ccommons\u201d in which meaningful opposition to these trends can be organized, but it\u2019s now almost entirely under the \u201cdeep state\u2019s\u201d control with few exceptions (like\u00a0Russia\u2019s VK<\/a>). The pretext for seizing control over this domain was to stop any repeat of the\u00a06 January events<\/a>\u00a0as well as reduce the chances of actual foreign meddling in the US\u2019 domestic processes via\u00a0Hybrid<\/a>\u00a0War<\/a> means. About the latter, this threat veritably exists but not to the extent that the \u201cdeep state\u201d claimed. It\u2019s already done the exact same to countless other countries and much more effectively than they could ever do to the US, but the \u201cdeep state\u201d fears the introduction and proliferation of \u201cpolitically inconvenient\u201d narratives into the American political conversation, hence the need to so aggressively censoring social media. To be fair, other countries are implementing similar policies for the same security-centric reasons.<\/p>\n

People = Pawns?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What most folks don\u2019t realize is that they\u2019re really just pawns in a global game between competing \u201csocialist\u201d\/\u201dfascist\u201d \u201cdeep states\u201d as part of the New Cold War. Their individual views don\u2019t matter so long as they keep them to themselves, but they become \u201ctroublesome\u201d once they\u2019re shared with others and might eventually influence a larger change in socio-economic and\/or especially political behavior (e.g. voting patterns, provoking protests, etc.). It\u2019s one thing to \u201cknow the truth\u201d as one understands it to be (whether realized on one\u2019s own and\/or due to the influence of whatever they come across on the Internet, including that which is shared with them by foreign parties, be it state or civilian), and another entirely to actually act upon it in a peaceful way within the legal limits of their respective constitutions, many of which at least in the West superficially respect the right to the freedoms of speech and assembly.<\/p>\n

Reality Check<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, this very analysis will probably only at most make \u201cfellow travelers\u201d feel like they\u2019re not alone or \u201ccrazy\u201d as opposed to having any meaningful effect on shaping the course of events. Be that as it may, everyone deserves to learn how the world really operates, even if only to be at peace with how powerless they might actually be if that\u2019s what makes them feel a bit better. Others might be inspired to share this insight with others in the hopes that enough people can eventually come together to peacefully express their constitutionally enshrined rights in a last-ditch attempt to at least slow down the implementation<\/a>\u00a0of the \u201c4IR\/GR\u201d. This is especially so with respect to raising awareness of the speculative risks associated with volunteering oneself to be a guinea pig for \u201cdeep state\u201d-backed Big Pharma\u2019s massive gene therapy experiment designed to give their government a strategic edge in the New Cold War at the arguable expense of their citizens\u2019 human rights.<\/p>\n

Welcome To World War C<\/strong><\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in what can be described as\u00a0World<\/a>\u00a0War<\/a>\u00a0C<\/a>, or the full-spectrum paradigm-changing processes catalyzed by the world\u2019s uncoordinated attempt to contain the virus (again, whether or not one believes that it\u2019s real, fake, or exaggerated). All pre-existing trends are now being accelerated and compressed, including the geopolitical, military, economic-industrial, information-communication, healthcare (genetic engineering), governmental (\u201csocialist\/\u201dfascist\u201d), and \u201cgreen\u201d (\u201cdepopulation\u201d) ones. This means that everyone is truly living in an unprecedented era of history whereby literally everything about life as they know it will be completely different within a decade. The very nature of international, economic, civil-state, and even human-to-human relations is transforming at a record pace, with folks either choosing to remain asleep like the \u201cdeep state\u201d wants or wake up and peacefully try to stop them if it\u2019s even at all still possible to do so.<\/p>\n

Although some elements of the US \u201cdeep state\u201d consistently sought to subvert and ultimately destroy China as they\u2019d attempted to do since the 1989\u00a0Tienanmen Square Color Revolution, they failed to succeed both because of their target\u2019s structural resilience and the lack of support from America\u2019 economic and political elite that had an interest in indefinitely profiting from China\u2019s astronomical rise. Reinterpreting Russia\u2019s Role As for Russia, it was never the \u201canti-Western Phoenix\u201d that both its top foreign supporters and detractors alike misportrayed it for different reasons but always sought to incorporate itself into the larger Western-led world, albeit in a manner\u00a0that preserved as much of its sovereignty as possible. This was unacceptable for the West which demanded full submission, especially to the diktats of hyper-liberalism in both the economic and social senses, which prompted President Putin to proudly resist these efforts while nevertheless always keeping his country\u2019s olive branch extended. Russia simply wanted to carve out its own comfortable niche in the US\u2019 \u201cNew World Order\u201d instead of reattempting to following in its predecessor state\u2019s revolutionary footsteps by pioneering an entirely new one. The public friction between the US\u2019 unipolar demands and Russia\u2019s multipolar vision was responsible for the world finally beginning to realize that a New Cold War was afoot by 2007-2008. Great Power Competition Trump\u2019s much-hyped \u201ctrade war\u201d with China was really just him trying to revert back to \u201cthe good \u2018ole days\u201d of the pre-globalization era, though of course modified a bit to accommodate for some of the irreversible processes that had since unfolded across the world in the decades since the US-Chinese d\u00e9tente of the late 1970s changed the very nature of the global economy. He also more confidently popularized the notion of the New Cold War by openly embracing Great Power competition, which never actually went away since the end of the Old Cold War but the illusion thereof was simply a masterful means for managing the perceptions of the global population by getting them to focus less on international affairs and more on the plethora of \u201cbread and circuses\u201d that were produced since 1991. Trump\u2019s vision also aligned with the irreversible trend of multipolarity, accelerated as it was by the US\u2019 own missteps of the prior decades, which \u201cnormalized\u201d the New Cold War. The Military-Industrial Complex Amidst all of this and even arguably preceding it for quite some time already, the Great Powers (first and foremost among them the US, China, Russia) were already intensely competing in multiple domains, with only the economic one emphasized in the public sphere (and even that wasn\u2019t even widely recognized until Trump\u2019s presidency). Militarily, all of them continued to develop new weapons systems, including missile defense shields, hypersonic missiles to piece the former, drones, and space weapons. Their military-industrial complexes have been working on such munitions for a long time already, and the rare instances in which the public accidentally caught sight of them were conveniently described as so-called \u201cUFO sightings\u201d in order to distract the masses from what was really going on. Everyone was aware of this arms race during the Old Cold War, but it became taboo to talk about after 1991, though that\u2019s recently changing since it\u2019s becoming impossible to deny. The Information-Communication Industry The other trend that took place during these decades was in the information-communication industry. The global spread of the internet gave certain countries like the US a strategic edge, especially in intelligence collection, though that\u2019s now being challenged by China\u2019s cutting-edge technological developments and its much more affordable competitive products. The controversial concept of 5G is just the latest stage of this game. It basically functions as the means for managing the \u201cInternet of Things\u201d (IoT), which will further enhance its pioneers\u2019 strategic edge. Although there are reportedly serious health risks associated with it, the nature of the New Cold War is such that no actor can afford to delay this technology\u2019s development out of fear of irredeemably falling behind its \u201cpeer competitors\u201d. The hullabaloo about Huawei and other Chinese tech companies is simply a public cover for justifying the US\u2019 power moves against its top technological competitor. The \u201cFourth Industrial Revolution\u201d\/\u201dGreat Reset\u201d The IoT will facilitate the \u201cFourth Industrial Revolution\u201d (4IR), which will totally transform mankind\u2019s economic-industrial relations considering the increased dependence on autonomous systems. This project was already proceeding apace prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the virus (again, whether or not one believes it\u2019s real, fake, or exaggerated) served as the pretext to accelerate its rollout across the world in the most dramatic way possible via what\u2019s now widely regarded as the \u201cGreat Reset\u201d (GR). The resultant outcome will necessitate greater state intervention in the economy in order to subsidize the newly unemployed masses, which will resemble a comparatively more \u201csocialist\u201d system, even if only imperfectly\/superficially Some might even describe the state-corporate partnerships that emerge from them as being more akin to \u201ceconomic fascism\u201d, which hints at a worldwide competition between \u201csocialist\u201d and \u201cfascist\u201d systems in the future. COVID-19 Vaccines Regardless of the semantics that one uses, there\u2019s also no denying that mankind itself might be somewhat genetically different in this dark future than it presently is as a result of the experimental gene therapies that are being pushed upon hundreds of millions of people under the pretext of serving as vaccines against COVID-19. There are high hopes that mRNA technology might truly achieve miracles like curing cancer if responsibly utilized, but such technology requires many more years of testing before it has a credible chance of changing the world for the better with the lowest amount of risk possible The COVID-19 pandemic has been exploited by Big Pharma in order to test these treatments in real-time on the largest number of people in order to accelerate this technology\u2019s development considering the competitive context of the New Cold War. The West was already far ahead in this field, hence why most of its vaccines are mRNA ones, unlike the non-Wests. \u201cCollateral Damage\u201d It can\u2019t be known for sure, but Big Pharma (and presumably also its \u201cdeep state\u201d backers) probably only sought to experiment on hundreds of millions of people in such a deceptive way because they sincerely thought (whether rightly or wrongly) that the consequences are minimal and that the \u201ccollateral damage\u201d can therefore be \u201cmanageable\u201d. They might truly believe that any long-term health problems that these experimental gene therapies contentiously marketed as vaccines might cause could in theory be treatable within the next decade following the quantum leap that this technology might make by then as a result of this ongoing real-life mass testing. This line of thinking presupposes that the symptoms of such speculative problems might not occur until the next decade, which is, of course, a risky bet to make and arguably unethical if that\u2019s the case since those being experimented on \u201cin the name of the greater good\u201d might not be aware of it and thus didn\u2019t consent. Genetic Engineering To expand a bit more on the topic of vaccines, it\u2019s questionable whether the mRNA COVID-19 ones even present a viable solution to the pandemic (again, whether or not one believes that it\u2019s real, fake, or exaggerated). After all, COVID-19 no longer exists in its \u201cpure\u201d form after having evolved countless times into new strains which might be impossible to perfectly vaccinate against anyhow. This means that the experimental gene therapies that many people have already taken might actually be redundant, ergo the need for more vaccines to supposedly counter forthcoming strains, which in turn actually leads to more real-life testing for Big Pharma to accelerate the perfection of this technology…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":8974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1755,14],"tags":[1745,84,845],"class_list":["post-71542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-activism","category-feature","category-pol","tag-andrew-korybko","tag-feature","tag-voice-of-east"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71542"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71545,"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71542\/revisions\/71545"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wavechronicle.com\/wave\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
