(Article by Milosz Matuschek republished from LewRockwell.com)
Machiavelli recommended that the strategic sovereign was to commit atrocities right at the beginning of his rule. But democracies know an even better time. Chancellor Merkel, who is to resign from office soon, may commit the potentially greatest cruelty of her term in a kind of managerial capacity in the zombie phase of her rule. She has just announced that life for the unvaccinated is to become even more unpleasant very soon. What does that even mean at this point? Curfews and lockdowns for the unvaccinated? The marking of unvaccinated people? Whatever it is, it’s likely to be the completion of the quasi-ghettoization within the vaccination apartheid state. In Orwell’s 1984, anything but work was forbidden. The “2G” rule for the workplace or the de facto vaccine mandate implied by the “3G” rule (due to daily required tests at one’s own expense), moves us ever so close to Orwell’s vision of the world.
Desperation is at the root of the imminent state atrocities
We are reaching the height of madness regarding anti-pandemic policies. The narrative of the worst pandemic in a 100 years, for which the unvaccinated are now being blamed, is falling to pieces bit by bit. A collective act of cruelty inflicted upon a minority and tolerated by the silent majority appears to be the final linchpin holding together a flimsy narrative consisting of a jumble of data, propaganda and fear-mongering. From the standpoint of the political class, this is all too understandable, as everything remotely associated with logic is currently exploding in its face.
Let us briefly summarise:
Now resistance becomes duty
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty” is a quote allegedly attributed to Bertolt Brecht. Most likely the pandemic will only end as soon as the fear of a totalitarian public health dictatorship, which is a long standing subliminal agenda becoming increasingly clearer, outweighs the fear of the virus or personal disadvantages.
Resistance against injustice (including legal injustice) does not require a special permit. As soon as the state begins to act in a tyrannical manner, the bond of fundamental democratic loyalty is broken. In a highly recommendable rant the Romanian EU parliamentarian Cristian Terhe? claimed that Tyranny is easy to recognise, alluding to the heavily redacted contracts between the EU commission and the vaccine manufacturers (you can find the unredacted contracts here): “If the government knows everything about you, it’s tyranny. If you know everything about the government, it’s democracy”. Have a look at this memorable speech from the inside of the European Parliament. There are already a lot more of us than we might assume.
The state is not superior to the individual, it is made up from the sum of individuals. As soon as the state attempts to break the individual in order to preserve itself as a whole, it betrays the initial idea of the state. It breaches the social contract and betrays its only contractual partner, the citizen. With the obedient nature of Germans in mind, our constitutional fathers created a legal norm for this kind of essential resistance, which is to be found in Paragraph 4 of Article XX of the federal constitution, however, with no respective case-law existing as yet.
Isn’t it high time to bring this norm to life?
With what right does the state expect to impose taxes on its citizens, who have been harassed, lied to and scammed with experimental vaccines? With what right do public-service broadcasters expect to collect compulsory fees in exchange for the disinformation they are circulating? Isn’t it time to finally explore the limits of the legal and extra-legal emergency laws placed at the disposal of citizens to defend themselves against the state? What else needs to happen?
Intelligent resistance begins with ceasing to go along with any of this. And making it clearly visible and documenting it. The campaigns #allesdichtmachen and #allesaufdentisch are only the tip of an iceberg of resistance with which politics is about to collide. The numerous examples of people standing up for their beliefs in everyday life are even more important. Everyone can set an example within the realms of their possibilities, whether it’s merely a banner hanging from the balcony or a candle in the window. In his essay on civil disobedience, Henry David Thoreau illustrated what it is all about: The machine can only be stopped when a large amount of individuals generates enough friction and stops condoning injustice, which it recognises as such and despises fundamentally.
A system of values manifests itself by demanding a price and not being available for free. A change of the current situation is impossible without the individual taking risks, making a sacrifice or accepting noticeable disadvantages.
The magic of resistance begins to take effect when resistance becomes visible and like-minded people recognise each other.
Some of us have taken the first step on this path.
