This is How You Spread Fear

Boris Johnson
United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a press conference on Sunday.
He appeared at a lectern that features a bright yellow sign that read "stay alert, control the virus, save lives."

There was no mention of the many who have died because of lockdown suicides nor the many who will soon die because the lockdown did not permit them to get proper testing for various cancers.

It's all about propaganda and creating fear, not sound solutions.

Governments around the world are whipping up madness.

  1. And as ALL governments have not been doing- offering simple, common sense suggestions on how to strengthen your immune system.
    My ears are perked, awaiting the first vaccine fanatic who claims the existence of a human immune system is just a "conspiracy theory."

  2. "Governments around the world are whipping up madness."

    And boosting their National Debt - to the great long-term benefit of those who control the world's monetary system (and governments). The usual suspects, always making a killing from one war or another at opportune intervals.

  3. Back in the 1980s there was a role playing game about a computer that ran a society and through an accident cold war programming took over. It was called Paranoia. That sign reminds of something from that game:

    STAY ALERT
    TRUST NO ONE
    KEEP YOUR LASER HANDY
