Will we regret not asking enough questions about 2020?

"Governments and the men behind the curtain have used this year as an opportunity to fast-track, manipulate and coerce for ideological gain."

While everyone enjoys the Christmas spirit, allow me to sulk in my cold cave wrapped up in my matted green Grinch costume. I have been pondering for some weeks how I would take this opportunity to remember the past 12 months and how I would put my frustrations in writing.

I wish I could send out a message of positivity but this December looks like it will be dictated by one thing. Challenging the Covid-19 narrative is difficult because it has become an incredibly polarising subject. Everyone may have an opinion but when the government declares itself the only official source of information, the power to question what we are being told becomes almost non-existent.

I do not doubt that there is a harmful virus around, but I wonder what it is about Covid-19 that our government, in partnership with the United Nations, World Health Organization and World Economic Forum consider it worthy for them to express their bottomless well of caring, empathy and concern for the world population. One can check the tuberculosis figures to find numbers far in excess of the stick we are currently being beaten with.

Governments and the men behind the curtain have used this year as an opportunity to fast-track, manipulate and coerce for ideological gain. Look no further than the World Economic Forum’s official plan for the Great Reset. Before you call me a kook, visit weforum.org and take note of them trumpeting their plan for the world. Modern governments should be administrators of public funds, not promoters of ideology.

Authority should always be questioned because uncontrolled power is never used for positive gains. This Christmas, let us all treat each other with respect and when we do not agree with others’ opinions, let us refrain from having extreme reactions because most of the time, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Have a good Christmas, hope to see you all again in 2021.
