Notes from the Bunker (P. 2)


The Australian government has currently installed a “tracking app” that the population can download, in the country's battle against Covid 19. Similar to the tracing app proposed in the US, its purpose is to ensure individuals who have been diagnosed with the virus are maintaining lock-down, following social distancing, and more importantly, tracks individuals who come in contact with those already affected with the virus. The problem for many, however, is the app is a major violation of privacy. (The system also has been untested) This technology can be used for other nefarious purposes, when the virus dissipates. That said, over 40% of the Australian population has downloaded the tracking app, without any concern for privacy issues.

What does this tell us?

From a cursory observation, over 9 million people are scared, and wholeheartedly trust the Australian government. On other hand, either 13 million people haven't heard of the proposed device, or are critically thinking the “experiment”, and believe individual privacy is important in a democratic society. Personally, this is a violation of privacy, and who knows, the governments might already be tracking us, and we're simply unaware of Big Brother spying on us? Whatever it may be, this is an effort at more control over the population, as our Rights continue to diminish over time.

This morning I came across a study in the U.S., claiming that 80% of the American population disagree with such a tracking app in the fight against the virus. This makes sense, as it would be a direct violation of the many privacy laws, and the Constitution. Even before the virus hit, the Trump administration, run by son-in-law, Jarrod Kushner, and his wife, Ivanka Trump, proposed a similar app, to run a pseudo-pre-crime scam to prevent mass shootings. On face value, this is preposterous. When we start putting people in jail because we think they're going to commit a crime, the prisons would turn into camps; and the U.S. will have truly become a totalitarian state.

What I currently see happening in the country of my childhood and early adulthood, makes me emotional, and really, more sad than anything else. When Bush won the presidential election in 2001 against Gore, and the election was decided by the Supreme Court, I knew then, that U.S. Democracy was finished. Since then, due to 9/11, America's Civil Rights have been erased from the pages of history – a true police state was born – and it has all gone down hill from there.

There is certainly a Deep State, run by corporations, and America's elections have become a farce. It became evident to many, after Bernie Sanders relented to the DNC without a fight. U.S. elections are rigged, and the ruling class, the wealthy, Wall Street, MSM and the military all coalescing to screw the people. This should be clear for the majority of the people, but many continue to play an ESPN type of politics, while ignoring the issues that matter for the population - they're either in on it, or are blind to the machinations of power.

My intent in this blog, is not to give a history lesson on American politics, and the Deep State coup, destroying U.S. Democracy. (It began in 1947) But to point out, that the degradation of freedom has been incremental, and is now becoming aggressive, using propaganda of “Patriotism” American Exceptionalism”, and the slow manipulation of the population to support war.

If you are anti-war, and do not support US conflicts around the planet, you're called a traitor. When I was calling out the Russia-gate fantasy, I was called a Russian asset. When I was vocal about democratic socialism, I was named a “dirty communist”, etc. These are tactics of the Deep State, to shut you down. This is an old tactic of the warmongers and the elite since WW1 – same wine, different bottle.

The American situation, that is their infantile response to Covid 19; the government transferring up to $6 trillion to Wall Street, corporations and the banks, by and while essentially ignoring the people, is bad enough. But now, the Dogs of War are ratcheting-up for a new Cold-war with China. That is blaming China, without evidence, for the pandemic. Add further sanctions on Iran; and calling Venezuela's democratically elected president, Maduro, a Drug Lord, with zero evidence, reveals a psychopathic behaviour beyond the most vile totalitarian regimes in our modern history.

The history of this Deep-State, this cabal of warmongers, corporations, spooks and lies, once scratching the surface, one's first response is to leave it alone – too hard – though we must face it, or lose our individual freedoms.

Yes, I know, too dramatic, a nut case; an ignorant conspiracy theorist.

Perhaps.

End of Part 2.

  This is the first film I have ever seen that begins with a 10 minute `Overture'; the music is excellent and the composer, Max Steiner...
