Judge Guericke didn't lose his job and didn't have his 2020 ruling dissecting the mandates overturned, yet he speaks to us with clarity and authority on the lessons learned
The problem with point four is, while /christianity/ if taken as the teachings and example of Jesus could well be said to value life, the two other legs of the stool are obedience to clerical authority and a lot of (originally jewish) scripture that endorses force, coercion and outright violence against anyone deemed an unbeliever.
And it was these two legs that christian authorities, secular or clerical, came to rest upon, for a host of reasons.
I had the opportunity to listen to people at the local free church talking from their respectie points of view during the height of the hysteria, and the opposing views were "what would Jesus say/do about this?" vs "Obey authority because".
Since I meet the criteria for points 1 and 3, and was homeless in my youth to boot, perhaps the lessons learned long ago is what helped me think both twice and thoroughly about this?
It gels well with the Uppsala study on IQ/vaccine uptake - the higher the IQ the greater the uptake and no. of jabs. Low-IQ, poor, and people outside the pale of the welfare state did not shoot up on mRNA-juice.
It's almost a reverse of the old eugenics/racial hygiene programme that ran from the early 1920s to the mid-1970s.
I take note of the correlation between high IQ (sic) and jab uptake, and as regards the other things, you're also right. I'd merely add that there's a relevant distinction between individual faith and the church officialdom…
Finally, you write:
'It's almost a reverse of the old eugenics/racial hygiene programme that ran from the early 1920s to the mid-1970s.'
I find it hilarious, because if that's true, 'Idiocracy' appears to be projection (as that kind of high IQ/anticipatory obedience thing mainly characterises--the elites).
Dear epimethius— Thank you for bringing this important story to English language readers.
About those who did not fall for the con— to quote:
"Guericke concluded: the majority of the poor who do not naively believe that the rich want to do them good; people who have already lived under a dictatorship; people who are anchored in external reality and trust their own observations, for example farmers and craftsmen, and people who live morally and value life. Christians should belong to this group."
Got my attention ;-)
How nice of you to let me know--yes, your series were a kind of inspiration, but so was the content of the piece.
Hope you're holding up well!

Very astute.
