What If Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve Really Had Been Only Two Weeks?

2/19/2021

Instead of . . . what is it now? Nearly a year? Who da thunk it?

Man, if I was one of those conspiracy nut jobs, I'd be convinced the global elite used the "two weeks to flatten the curve" mantra to usher in a worldwide totalitarian coup . . .

Anyway, here's a funny look at what might have been if two weeks had really been two weeks. Courtesy of the Babylon Bee, one of the only news sources worth reading these days. Highly recommended.

If it really had been only two weeks, it wouldn't have happened at all (because then we would have honest, competent, well-motivated rulers).

@ Bruce - Agreed. Yet, here we are - one year later, and a great many people still wholeheartedly believe that we do in fact, despite everything, have honest, competent, and well-motivated rulers.

The few people that think otherwise seem to be under the impression that our rulers are merely misguided and mind-fettered.

I'm already looking forward to the second anniversary.

It's interesting (although completely predictable when you understand the nature of evil) how here in the states the leftists are beginning to feast on each other because big bad orange didn't fill their appetite. Liars throwing liars under the bus. While I oppose the arguments because they are defending lies on both sides, I am enjoying the show.

The evil is out on full display as things only conspiracy theorists said are happening are now playing out in public.

Even the mostly-sleepy populous are beginning to say- 'wait, WHAT is going on here?'

The uncontested 'truth' is changing all the time. New truth just this week- 14 days to 1 year+, magic elixir only requires 1 dose, 2 masks required at all times even if you've had the magic elixir, yes your 3 year old can still kill grandma even if she's been vaccinated but he hasn't, variant strain is more contagious and deadly than the original and we have to lockdown again. It's just becoming more and more obvious to the average person.

For people who are just starting to come out of the fog- understand this: they will never ever ever ever willingly let this end. Once you understand that fact then all the rest makes perfect sense.

@ Michelle - Read the comments below. People will need to believe in/have faith in something beyond the System. If they don't, there won't be much left for them.

From a WEF article from two days ago: "Individuals, much as we each yearn to return to life as it was before the pandemic, have to adjust to a life that has greater restrictions on what we can do, and most importantly, in harmony with nature."

So you're right - they will never willingly end this. If it's not a virus, it will be "for nature" or whatever.

"we do in fact, despite everything, have honest, competent, and well-motivated rulers"

As I wrote in today's post - to believe in good rulers who will (as soon as they can) restore the good thing of life is their Only hope, their only way of staving-off despair for a bit longer.

But as the weeks go by, people are beginning to recognize that the birdemic is just an excuse; and will either be kept going and going - or else some other excuse will be brought forward to continue.

And then most people experience real existential despair - as in they have nothing to look forward to, nothing to live for.

Unless one has a strong (and essentially autonomous) faith - then it is a case of believe the lie for as long as you can... And if/when you fail - there will be nothing.

Of course this was predicted - first Project Fear, then Project Despair - but now this is actually happening to more and more people.

@ Bruce - Yes, that's it. It's going to get even more grim. Nevertheless, I have a little optimism that some who maintain "hope" in the System now will go beyond the lie and discover there is a great deal more than nothing at the end of it - that they will discover the Truth. I don't think this will happen to a great number of people, but it is happening or will happen to some.

I explored your Project Despair theme a few times on this blog. The post below - which is from April of last year - helped me work through a lot of what you said about despair and some of what addressed on your blog today:
