"The ongoing situation is being engineered to prevent awakening among both the doomed masses and the Establishment and their minions who are dooming them."

Engineered by whom?

The level of sophistication in the "engineering" seems more than humans could do.
It's stunning. Very few of the people I talk to about our situation seem able to comprehend that the ongoing lockdowns, virus hysteria, and associated phenomena are far more destructive than the virus itself.
It's almost like they are computer who run into code that they can't run. Blue screen.
Can the mere fear of death really cause a complete lapse of thinking?
An inability to forecast the future based on simple ideas, such as that you need a functioning economy to provide necessities?

And as you say, most of the masses embrace it. Our local leaders embrace it. They just cancelled the already delayed 4th of July Fireworks/celebration that was now going to be on Labor Day. In other words, all normal life: canceled.
Students and children in schools will be wearing unhealthy masks, if they go back at all.
Parents will have to figure out how to care for their children if they even have jobs to go to.

It's a real challenge to not let the anxiety take over. I lapse. And will have to regularly repent for giving in to the climate of fear and anger.

At some level, I have a feeling many people are secretly enjoying the birdemic. Now they have an excuse to be lazy, cowardly, petty dictators. More people would be fighting against all this if they weren't gaining some sort of benefit.

@Jacob. Indeed. The lack of comprehension of the actual situation is both widespread and spiritually lethal; since it is to live by lies, and to embrace the lies.

@ED Sure thing. Here in the UK millions of people are better off financially, on 80% salary but no work.

Repeated pandemics of Bubonic plague is one example of an effective population reducer.

Especially in dense areas around the world.

"Virtual Reality" and "Minimum Income" has been a push for a while. We see this basically implemented by force now - not quite the VR people hoped for - but a completely absorption into social media / streaming videos / games / distractions while living off a low stipend. Feel free to zone out on a cocktail of anti-depressants, alcohol, marijuana, opiates, and processed food. It fits the elite goals of depopulation and minimizing resource usage. Let people sit at home and consume what-ever product (Gatesian fake ground beef and other nonsense) while doing nothing, not reproducing, and slowly dying off.

Despite great hopes in Trump and his "4D Chess" he seems to be going along along with everything. The total lockdown, the minimum income, the mass vaccination program - the Elites are getting their wish list checked off quickly.

I believe the mass vaccination program will purposely cause infertility/sterilization (maybe reversible with expensive treatment, so the elite could still have their 1.2 children - but it will be the new default) and slowly the calories will be restricted. The drug executives publicly state "we don't know what the side-effects will be in 4+ years" and have received exemption. Gates and others have frequently talked about population reduction with vaccines as a primary vector.

Children, despite being at absolutely no risk, are the primary target for the new campaign along with those who have no choice (hospital workers, military, etc.). New York already has removed religion as an exemption for forced vaccination and withstood a legal challenge - also we now know religion is "non-essential" so it doesn't matter in the face of fear.

Once again I think Bruce penetrates to the core of what is happening to the world. Yes, the programme could be to get rid of 6 billion people - I wouldn't be shocked, but I probably won't be around to see it because I'm 7 years in bonus on my three score and ten. So I have had a inverse, inverse reaction to the plague and related events. I saw it coming early and stocked up on dried chickpeas and lentils thinking that it would just work its way through the population as it did in 1919. I reckoned that maybe I could isolate myself and avoid it. But a funny thing happened - a gift of the Grace afforded us by age. I realised I wasn't completely afraid of death, like when I was younger. I've recovered from Pneumonia twice and understand in a bodily way why is called 'the old person's friend'. I am by nature an introvert and am happiest when alone, so the lockdown has been no burden. It made me aware of how much I was unnecessarily running around - distracting myself the death. And how much all mediated reality and especially virtual reality had compromised, indeed colonised, my potential to be present. Present to everything from the soles of my feet as I walk, to God. What an opportunity this effulgence of evil as afforded an old croak like me! I doubt I am alone.
