For days now, like many people, I have been pondering the true meaning of the clowning which has taken place on a planetary scale in recent weeks. As a professor of philology, that is to say, as a scholar of communication systems, I have increasingly developed the idea that we are very simply facing general evidence of subjugation of populations.
As if this were not enough, precisely because I am a “scientist”, I cannot help but notice that this is evidence orchestrated by the new religion (monotheist, anti-dialogical, totalitarian) of the contemporary world: the one represented by the so-called “science”.
We have known for a long time that science is a narration, that progress in the various disciplines has been made through dialogue, refutations, debates. I am hence not talking about science, which in the meantime continues to practice its craft, consisting essentially of the art of doubting the truth and all truth, but about its grotesque distortion which instead holds that it is (or rather pretends to be) the bearer of the only truth.
Let’s look at the pathetic situation in Italy, without going any further: a particularly aggressive seasonal illness has brought our health system to its knees, since there are about 5,000 intensive care beds within the peninsula with 60.5 million inhabitants. The form of disclosure for dealing with this structural defect was not to claim that the country was broken because of its self-declared inefficiency, but instead, to declare, through the scientists who are the sole possessors of the truth, that this is a terrible epidemic.
Citizens were not asked to help the serious shortcomings of the country by admitting chronic and steadily worsening guilt, but, without even a mock parliamentary debate: house arrest was imposed on them, based on a strategy of terror which is giving rise to situations, the consequences of which cannot even be imagined.
Let us be clear: in 2020, in a state of 60.5 million inhabitants, there should be at least 60,000 intensive care places. The rest is nonsense, which naturally takes the form of dramatic images of overcrowded wards, nurses who are exhausted, if not dead, coffins without flowers, stacked outside hospitals and taken away by army vehicles and which takes the form of the pornographic daily bulletins with the numbers of infected, hospitalised, cured and dead people and all of this while the police are roaming the streets, while the Civil Defence orders people to barricade themselves in their homes using megaphones, while the balconies are filled with lobotomised citizens praising their homeland, and while the virological gurus, who have recently started talking about God (by contrast with His Holiness the Pope) warn, in the name of science, about the new deaths that we will have to count.
If we keep in mind that every day, even in these days of an emergency, while its prime minister appears on Facebook channels worried and pale in appearance, asking everyone to “fade away in cohorts”, the Italian government spends 70 million euros on the military (two billion a month), and that with only one day of this spending, i.e. with the 70 million spent every twenty-four hours, six new hospitals could be built and equipped, with the leftover change paying for 500 respirators, we can describe the current emergency, in no uncertain terms, as a state-sponsored massacre.
This epidemic is a fake epidemic. No one can say, of course, whether it is fake because it was created who knows where and with who knows what interests, about which a philologist, at least, is unable to comment.
But it’s fake because it hides the real problem.
It’s fake because it feeds on the terror created around it.
It’s fake because every day in Italy, from the beginning of December to the end of March, 350 people die of common or garden flu without ending up in a daily bulletin that keeps us all alerted.
It’s fake because every day in Italy about 500 people die from a tumour, 30% of them from lung cancer, without citizens being placed in lockdown in a police state to avoid breathing the air that makes them ill.
It’s fake because among the so-called “powers” that be there are no dissenting voices in the chorus, all of the members of which appear aligned in supporting a single narrative, according to all the strategies listed, for example, by Noam Chomsky to obtain the manipulation of the masses: 1. A strategy of distraction; 2. Creating problems and then offering solutions (they are all already waiting for the magical and elusive vaccine); 3. A gradually increasing and exponential strategy (the increasingly stringent limitations); 4. The strategy of deferral (presenting a solution as “painful and inevitable”); 5. Using emotional aspects more than argumentation (apocalyptic images, war bulletins); 6. Keeping people in ignorance and mediocrity (the virologist cannot be questioned, we are unable to do so); 7. Encouraging citizens to be complacent with mediocrity (flash mobs and other mass/herd manifestations); 8. Insinuation of a sense of guilt (we are all potential contaminants and anointers); 9. Knowing individuals better than they know themselves.
This fake epidemic is a general dress rehearsal of
subjugation of populations, a pantomime based on a scientocracy which, unfortunately, can only be described, through its dramatic results, as a state-sponsored massacre.
