Follow the Money

Here is a post from Bayou Renaissance Man that is along the lines of my thoughts on the matter of the government response to the Kung Flu.

"Their(mainstream media) reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic is a classic example of this. They continue to publicly denigrate Ivermectin as a "horse dewormer", ignoring the fact that its developers won the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on it. It's proved spectacularly successful in treating COVID-19 in several countries - but you'd never know that from reading US news reports. Instead, it's "talked down" and sidelined in favor of vaccinations that are causing more and more deaths and life-threatening medical complications (of which more later). The same happened to hydroxychloroquine, a drug that's been in worldwide use for decades longer than Ivermectin, and has also proved very effective against COVID-19. They've both been cast out into the health care wilderness, and I think I know why. Follow the money."

The Government Wants to be Your Back Door Man

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die." --BladeRunner

I remember the "Clipper Chip" and the first crypto-wars.

"Since Public Key encryption was considered a munition, t-shirts like this (containing the RSA sourcecode) were created as a form of civil disobedience using Adam Back’s three-line Perl implementation of RSA." https://cryptoanarchy.wiki/events/90s-crypto-wars


Now there is a new(isn't there always), push by government and pseudo-government agencies.

""The proposal to preemptively scan all user devices for targeted content is far more insidious than earlier proposals for key escrow and exceptional access," the paper says.

"Instead of having targeted capabilities such as to wiretap communications with a warrant and to perform forensics on seized devices, the agencies’ direction of travel is the bulk scanning of everyone’s private data, all the time, without warrant or suspicion. That crosses a red line. Is it prudent to deploy extremely powerful surveillance technology that could easily be extended to undermine basic freedoms?" ®" https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/15/clientside_side_scanning/

 I detest Mark E. Zuckerberg and company.  He sells shiny and it is a trap.
