The Armenian genocide was not a mistake.
The Holodomor was not a mistake.
The Final Solution was not a mistake.
The Great Leap Forward was not a mistake.
The Killing Fields were not a mistake.
Name your genocide; it was not a mistake.
That includes the great demicide of the 2020's.
To imply otherwise is to give them the "out" they are seeking.
It was not botched; it was not bungled; it was not a blunder.
It was not incompetence; it was not lack of knowledge; it was not spontaneous mass hysteria.
The planning occurred in plain sight.
The planning is still occurring in plain sight.
The "philanthropaths" bought the science;
The modellers projected the lies.
The testers concocted the crisis.
The NGO's leased the academics.
The scientists fabricated the findings.
The mouthpieces spewed the talking points.
The organizations declared the emergency.
The governments erected the walls.
The departments re-wrote the rules.
The governors squashed the rights.
The politicians passed the laws.
The bankers installed the control grid.
The stooges laundered the money.
The DoD placed the orders.
The corporations fulfilled the contracts.
The regulators approved the "solution."
The laws shielded the contractors.
The agencies ignored the signals.
The behemoths consolidated the media.
The psychologists crafted the messaging.
The propagandists chanted the slogans.
The fact chokers smeared the dissidents.
The censors silenced the questions.
The jackboots stomped the dissenters.
The tyrants summoned; the puppeteers jerked; the puppets danced; the colluders implemented.
The doctors ordered.
The hospitals administered.
The menticide was scripted.
The bamboozled bleated.
The totalitarians bullied.
The covidians tattled.
The parents surrendered.
The good citizens believed and forgot.
This was calculated.
This was formulated.
This was focus-grouped.
This was articulated.
This was manufactured.
This was falsified.
This was coerced, this was inflicted, this was denied.
We were terrorized, we were isolated, we were gaslit, we were dehumanized.
We were wounded, we were killed.
Don't let them get away with it.
Don't let them get away with it.
Don't let them get away with it.
