What you said.

I merely had to suffer the moniker of "conspiracy theorist" and "Trump supporter" (I am a Canadian, LOL) flung by friends and family, but everything you said resonates.

First, justice. Then, maybe, amnesty

Excellent article. Two points, one in agreement and one in dissent.

1. Your comments reminded me of Dwight Eisenhower's farewell address as he left the presidency in 1961. He warned of a military-industrial complex that posed a danger to American freedoms (as is often quoted). But he also warned of a similar danger from a scientific-technological elite, mirroring some of the things you have said:

"Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

"In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the federal government.

"Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

"Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

"It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system -- ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society."

2. While I agree with your well-expressed arguments, I'm sure what to do about the problem. Umbrage can fairly be taken by you, but will it help to take it?

I've been following you throughout this madness and I just subscribed to your Substack! Thank you for your eloquent and insightful writing. Even though I haven't been wronged in the ways that others have, I am still struggling with covid amnesty...

Why?

Because these psychopaths obtained POWER. They have no intention of relinquishing their POWER. They would KILL for it.

In point of fact, they HAVE KILLED for it. They are complicit in a worldwide campaign of DEMOCIDE.

There is no true repentance. Psychopaths don’t do the remorse thing. They would do it ALL again, don’t you see? In fact, I suspect they intend to do exactly that, in service to consolidating their grip on POWER indefinitely.

The Predator Class’ ultimate aspiration to reduce the population by BILLIONS, leaving only 500,000,000 souls on planet Earth has not yet been fulfilled. They are frustrated. They are impatient. They seem to be working to a timeline.

Talk of reconciliation is completely PREMATURE. I don’t believe they’ve finished killing yet. This nightmare is far from over.

People are just beginning to understand the true nature of what toxic substances have been transfected into their bodies. It has yet to dawn on the jabbed that their DNA is permanently corrupted. They do not understand that they are no longer homo sapiens sapiens...with all the protections conferred by human rights law.

Act One has concluded but that’s not the end of this satanic play. There will be no apologies. It’s not in the nature of psychopaths.

Understanding all of this is key to survival.

“Until we have meaningful reconciliation, amnesty will merely cement the incumbents’ hold on academic, media, and narrative power, all but ensuring we repeat the failures of pandemic public health policy.”

Precisely why we cannot have ‘amnesty’ until they - all of them- admit that they were wrong and then there need to be investigations and punishment for whatever crimes that those in power committed “.

Too many people are sick or have died for all of this to be swept under the rug..... and it’s not over.

Outstanding! School closings were just one of so many crimes against humanity that were committed under the banner of COVID. I have zero interest in declaring an amnesty for the perpetuators.

Beautiful. I will hate them for you.

You really ought to look at the NYC deaths by date as presented by https://twitter.com/Wood_House76 and global all cause mortality by https://twitter.com/denisrancourt. Testing everyone and treatment protocols and re-categorizing deaths (drug overdose) and an onslaught of "panic" media on top of a background of common coronaviruses caused what appeared to be novel virus. There may have been localized releases of something (toxin or clones) which made some people acutely sick. But death data doesn't support a spreading virus (really - no excess deaths until lockdown???) - real or man altered.

I'd like to see a palpable retribution against those in the medical and regulatory communities who openly attacked therapeutic interventions and championed mechanical respiratory interventions, Remdesivir use, and the promotion of the jab juices. After that. amnesty by any means is acceptable.

You seem to be under the impression that these people meant well; these people who jumped at the power they obtained over the last three years are the embodiment of absolute evil. They should go to prison for the rest of their lives.

Great article, except for:

"I don’t hate the people who caused us harm in order to exclude us from the public health policy process and cause further harm to kids like the friends I grew up with. I understand that they were afraid, that they grew up with vastly different circumstances, that they, like me, are products of circumstance"

Sure, they are products of circumstances to some degree. We all are. How is that an excuse? Many from similar environments saw things clearly and rationally, and chose the correct and just path. No, these people are haters and reveled in their ability to hurt those who disagreed with their inanities. I hate them, a lot. It's part of the self-preservation instinct to recognize your enemies and treat them as you must to defeat them.

Proportionate justice must come first, tempered by mercy because of mitigating circumstances in individual cases but always involving permanent and perpetually manifest damage to their reputations and their wealth and an experience of prison of at least 5 years. The he masterminds must be punished with life in prison without parole (solitary confinement with 30 minutes of social time with one person per day, recorded) and a complete loss of their wealth with going 90% to the victims (deceased from Covid pro-rated for expected life span due to age, comorbidities and other health measurements as well as vaccine-injured), 5% to anti-vaccine ngos, and 5% to the heroes who suffered. Their wealth must be reduced to the a maximum of triple the poverty level for at least a decade and given to the heroes who suffered financially and the vaccine-injured starting with those who were denied exemptions. Every doctor who was paid for having vaccinated clients must also be marked for life (not manifestly but subtly on their license) and give triple those bonuses received to the vaccine-injured.

Superb. Reasoned and compassionate. And a call for accountability. I hope that accountability happens at every level, from the courtrooms and school boards to the neighbors pushing strollers.
