[Craic] individualist

Hi Ted

You are right in character, getting us ready for another round of health 
mandates for the new global pandemic scheduled for November of this 
year.  I predict that at that time the WHO will take over the authority 
of our governments and this time implement global health passports and 
mandates globally and officially end our democracy in favour of rule by 
technocratic billionaires. I have heard rumors of this over a month 
before the CBC declared its  new deadly variant of concern.  We will see 
if it comes to pass.

It appears the main stream of our culture has gone back to the dark 
ages. Science was once about challenging and questioning an established 
hypothesis and creating new ideas. Now science is a dogma and medical 
practitioners who do not abide by this dogma are excommunicated from the 
medical profession. The principle article of faith you state without 
providing any evidence is(the link you provide is pure speculation 
providing no scientific evidence):

A recent article in _Global Research _on /*The widespread failure of

The concept of the common good has been used by tyrants in the past and 
now to control and manipulate people. In these Covid times the common 
good is used to justify the removal of rights and freedoms.  Among these 
rights and freedoms being lost is the right to informed consent  
established in the Nuremberg trials to prevent a government from 
medically experimenting on its citizens. Other rights being subverted in 
the name of the common good are Freedom of expression, freedom of 
association and freedom to travel.   Its Utilitarian eugenics all the way.

Francis in Laudato Si clearly opposes this use of the common good to 
diminish our rights and freedoms.

    /157. Underlying the principle of the common good is respect for the
    human person as such, endowed with basic and inalienable rights
    ordered to his or her integral development. It has also to do with
    the overall welfare of society and the development of a variety of
    intermediate groups, applying the principle of subsidiarity./

The Mandates you are getting ready to impose on the rest of us are 
coming from the top(Pfizer, the WHO, Bill Gates and Anthony Faucci 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaNc2P3tcXA>) down. It does not 
exercise the principal of subsidiarity  where, as Francis suggests all 
levels of organization should serve "the basic cell of society which is 
the family." This reverses Catholic teaching making the family 
subservient to the global state.
