John Whitehead puts the case, soundly, that what we are seeing being assembled in the West, notably highly visible with the Covid plandemic, is a surveillance state, modelled upon the methods employed in communist China, riding rough over individual liberties and freedoms. What could be more obvious that something was wrong, as shown in the state of Victoria, with the then longest lockdowns in the world, at a huge economic and health cost, but ultimately futile, as Omicron and its variants escaped the vax anyway? We have not got the full scale “social credit” scores yet, but without organised resistance, that will surely come in the next plandemic. Monkeypox was a fizzer, disappearing into a particular “community,” but Bill Gates and the World Health Organization have told us that the next “pandemic” is just around the corner. I expect this one will be genuinely dangerous, and that will be an even greater challenge to the freedom movement
