My recent blog post about the migrant issue has so far attracted little readership. Sometimes these things attract a small and persistent following afterward, mostly coming from search engines. It is an issue which needs to be paid attention to.
I had written that piece a little while ago, but had not got around to putting it out. It is getting even more relevant as the effects of covid persist, yet the screw heads are looking for ways to get the cheap labor and lumpen pipeline going again.
By lumpen I mean The Lumpenproletariat in the classic Marxist sense; the rotten element of the population with no attachments to human society and no sense of right and wrong. That is, the people used as strikebreakers, rent a mobs, internet sockbots, and other kinds of intimidators; as weapons against the rest of us.
I must continue to make clear I am not writing against immigrants or immigration as such. Canada still needs immigrants. As well, all over the world people of character need asylum because they are in places where being a person of character is lethal.
However, one thing we do not need right now in Canada is another wave of Ukrainian fascists such as were let into the country after the latest world war. These have had a negative effect on Canada, as many poorly selected immigrant groups have. Yet it seems that one of the results of the present Ukraine war may be to create another such wave.
I must also continue to make it clear I am not associating Lumpen or “underclass” in Canada with immigrants. In fact, the more generations they have been in Canada, the more destructive the Clumpassers seem to become. Take the anti public health honker-bonker convoys a few weeks back as an example.
However, we do have this ‘vertical mosaic’ in Canada, meaning limited social class mobility and the different classes mainly imported as classes. Some undesirable social elements seem to be deliberately imported into Canada.
Our lumpen do serve a purpose to the oligarchy, so says Marx as well as Foucault, and their numbers must be replenished. The ability of the oligarchy to use the corps of ignorant, entitled boors in society to break all efforts to deal with the pandemic, shows its usefulness to them.
A perfect illustration of this was the sole comment I got from this migrant issues article. It clearly came from a sockbot working the ‘covid is a fraud’ riff. Yes, they are still working that one.
These are not mere robots turning this stuff out. These sockbot farms are fairly automated, but ultimately they employ real people getting real money, probably managing dozens of fake accounts each and bothering hundreds of people like poor old me. It is ideal employment for underclass/lumpen types.
So, within an hour of putting the ‘Migrant Issue’ article up, Wordpress invited me to moderate a comment on it. That is the best sign of abuse; sincere people with something to say usually take some time to think about it before hitting the keys.
This ‘comment’ was pretty much two paragraphs of ‘word salad’. The first paragraph made some psuedo-Marxist chords, no doubt to convince me he is a fellow leftie. With the second paragraph, he came out with the idea there is a ‘covid fraud’ and the ‘trucker convoy’ has been instrumental in bringing ‘Canadian Workers’ together.
A first impression would be that this person is schizophrenic. I think it is more likely that he, or it could even be she, is writing hundreds of these every day, probably to a deadline or quota. She is likely just bolting together stock phrases out of piles and to guidelines which are being given to her.
The aim is to create doubt about whether the covid pandemic is real or something being exaggerated or made up. He also made reference to the Ukraine war, but it is unclear what side he is coming down on. I hit the spam button but kept the text for reference.
Most probably he will be taking the ‘Russia’ side of the Ukraine conflict. They are usually against whatever the Trudeau government is for. Some of these people could be ‘apolitical’ in practise; calling for a ‘blitzkreig’ against the ‘Ukronazi’ government all morning and then putting the Ukraine flag beside their name and calling for a NATO ‘no fly zone’ all afternoon.
I am sure these ‘right libertarian’ honkie, covid denier types will not want to talk about what is really the most concerning issue in the Ukraine war. That is, the discovery of bioweapons labs in Ukraine, run by the USA. The ‘mainstream media’ is really frantic to bury this story, as well.
So, here is my big question; how to you wage a biological war on your own population? The answer is, you pay people to spread misinformation around, to intimidate public officials, health care workers, and people just wearing masks. You deploy sockbot farms to spread misinformation over the net and annoy brilliant bloggers like me.
You convince right wing business idiots, who are some of the dumbest people in the world, that any response to covid will increase government spending and interfere with profits and control over the workforce. They will not consider that failure to eliminate the disease will ultimately result in much more government spending and interference, much red ink and bankruptcy, and a much more out of control human herd. They do not think past the next quarter.
Of course, this kind of war first requires an actual infectious agent. Covid is not really that severe, but it is sufficient. It is unlikely to have been deliberately created and unleashed on the world simply because it is really not very good as a bioweapon.
It was clearly not part of a deliberate plan. The world’s oligarchies were clearly unprepared for it. It took them some time to figure out how to use it to their advantage.
Covid did eventually become a bioweapon in the way described above. Its advantage is simply that it is not extremely dangerous, otherwise there would have been a much stronger response to it. It gradually gets worse, and its long term effects do not become clear until the longer term, so people keep trying to adapt to it instead of eliminating it.
People do need to understand what biowar and bioweapons are actually about. I will attempt a more thorough treatment of the subject when I believe I have sufficiently informed myself. Here I will briefly deal with it.
Low level biological war is really an idiot’s weapon; it will almost inevitably come back to bite whoever deployed it. This would include infective agents against people or against food sources. There is no way to bioengineer an infectious agent that would attack one population only, or to create a vaccine that would protect one population only.
People have a magical belief in vaccines and antiviral drugs. Just as with bacterial infections, they work only until the infectious organism develops its own immunity to these. This is why vaccines must be a last resort, not a first resort.
The way to prevent infections is for people to get a few rungs further up the evolutionary ladder and learn to practise proper public and personal hygiene. That includes; insuring proper air circulation and air cleaning in buildings, a properly funded and staffed medical system, and measures to enable people to stay at home when they are ill. Of course, the key is proper leadership, education, communication, and enforcement from competent government.
A high level biological warfare attack would require an agent that works very fast. It would not spread far beyond the release point because the targets are incapacitated and dead before they can get far away. Many of these really deadly tropic diseases, which turn up periodically, are like that.
Even these would be very foolish to employ. A virus is a living organism. There is no way to predict exactly how it will behave when it is released into the field. It could quickly switch into a less lethal mode, allowing it to spread further, thus making it much more deadly.
Yet a feature of oligarchic regimes ruled by sociopaths is that they are obsessed with ways of wiping out specific populations. Many bright bulbs have repeated the history of this; from the gifts of infected blankets given to selected aboriginal tribes, to Japan’s famous world war two unit 731, to the many ‘accidents’ issuing from Fort Detrick, Maryland. No one has ever created an effective bioweapon but the idea is irresistible to the sociopathic mind.
Thus the Russian army has been somewhat concerned that shadowy American agencies are maintaining an entire chain of biological research labs close to the Russian border. There are thirty two of them just in Ukraine. Last month one of these establishments was visited by curious members of the Russian military.
Among the things they found curious about the place was the apparent attempt to find characteristics in the genome of Russians which distinguish them from surrounding peoples. This shows a complete lack of biological knowledge as well as common sense in the persons commissioning these studies. Russians and Ukrainians are the same people, separated only by a few centuries of history. This is like trying to find biomarkers distinguishing Americans from Canadians.
The Atlanticist establishment has been very jumpy about having this particular secret brought out, especially after Victoria Nuland laid an egg in public, essentially admitting that these labs in Ukraine were biowar facilities. The establishment propaganda machine has been especially frantic at burying this. The CBC has now utterly disgraced itself by pretending to demonstrate that the biowar lab story is a conspiracy theory, committing almost infinite logical and factual errors.
CBC and almost all cable news has become unwatchable, with the partial exception of China Global and maybe Al Jazeera. They will deny clear facts but have ways of giving credibility to the vague idea that the Chinese are responsible for covid19. There are three things clear about this; that covid is not an engineered organism, there is no way to ever prove how it moved from bats to humans, and ultimately it does not matter. This should end the subject for any reasonable person.
Similarly, it is obvious to the reasonable person that there is an infectious organism loose in the world. Managing it is a matter of proper public hygiene to break the chain of infection. Covid is a crisis because most of the world’s governments are too corrupt, incompetent, and craven to stand up to a normal minority who are hostile to even such simple measures.
This is concerning because of what it shows about the ability of most of the world’s countries to respond to a serious crisis. We know what will happen if there is a major war which does not just disrupt but shuts down supply lines. It will be “freeze and starve in the dark” time, with a few billion knocked off the human population.
It will be especially interesting if there is a biowar. an engineered superbug could really wipe out most of the planet’s population before any resistance could be organized. This would likely not be a state attacking another state; there is no way such a thing could be controlled and there would be no effective vaccine.
This would be a doomsday kind of weapon. This is something a megalomaniac elite might do if it felt it was losing power. That sounds a little like our Atlanticist elite.
Some elements in this elite have talked among themselves about the idea that earth’s population should be sharply reduced. We are a cancer on the planet, you see. These same people seem to have control of a lot of the medical industrial complex and have a hand in these secret biolabs.
There is a limit to how far we can talk reasonably about such an insane thing as bio warfare. The point is that these kinds of playthings need to be taken away from the megalomaniac morons in control of the Atlantic world. How we do that is a big problem although the Russian operation into Ukraine is definitely a start.
The even bigger point to be made is that the same people who endanger the earth’s population with biowar research also cause most of the other problems which are coming to a crisis in the terrible twenties. They are responsible for the destructive wars which create huge numbers of refugees. They are responsible for directing these refugees at stronger societies which they cannot threaten militarily but which they want to break down.
They are responsible for the Internet trolls and bots which make public discussion impossible. They are turning the public voice into a kind of white noise which most people are hypnotized by or turn away from and retreat into total apathy.
However, there are still positive ways of using the internet. It requires real work and some intelligence, and a real desire to know the truth, no matter how disturbing.
That is what I am at work at here. I am building a small following so I will keep at it.
By the way, I continue to do fiction writing as a way of illustrating political issues. I am about to come out with a great short story about an oligarchy using a disease to control its subordinated populations. It is called “Mask of the Blue Death.” Watch for it.
