It is seldom wise to address something as fluid as the COVID-19 outbreak at this early stage, but if we can't get a decent vision of what's happening in 2020, when will we be able to?
There are already several interesting points to note:-
1. Newts.
Fake news has moved over the years, from the on-line fringes to the Mainstream broadcasters who seem now to have developed an aversion to objective truth. It appears that they no longer lie just to bolster their socio-political aims, but because they are no longer capable of telling the truth, such that we can confidently predict that reported events are Never Ever What They Say, and the problem now, as the pandemic takes hold, is that if MSM presented us with concrete evidence that it was under control, who would believe them?
2. Social collapse is dangerously close.
For many years we have been assured that diversity is our strength, but what has been promoted as diversity has been nothing less than creeping genocide. In a world where order and cooperation between nations is vital to the flow of goods and services, and very few countries are self-sufficient in the essentials for their survival, we are now so dependant on infrastructure and electricity, that interruption of either would lead to dire and completely unpredictable consequences.
Civil society has taken centuries to get where it is today, and it is built on trust and consent, but importing large numbers of people from places where aggression and intimidation are used to control populations and maintain patriarchal supremacy, has had a devastating effect on much of western civilian life and continues unabated via the studious non-reporting of facts.
Anyone worried by the levels of vicious and wanton violence on our streets today, should consider what these knife-wielding, acid-throwing gangs and their enablers would do if there is ever a shortage of food and water and our fingernail painting police are all that separates them from us.
Which brings me to another point highlighted by CV19.
3. There are too many people in the world.
The proverbial elephant in the room is really more akin to an alligator in the swimming pool, and there are few in the public eye, and far less in authority, who will even make this observation much less attempt to deal with it. Using Western countries as a form of overspill car-park while we wait for the world to become unviable is not the solution, any more than is paying billions of dollars to corrupt and despotic 'leaders' to keep them in power and privilege.
The greatest tragedy for the Third World, is that, while education is the first step to improving their lot, it is their educated few who are most able to leave and who we are most often willing to receive.
