We now have so called celebrities speaking out.
There will be a lot more dissenting voices soon, unsure if you know or what it is like in your country.
In the UK they have had a furlough scheme. What is that you may ask, well we did not have it here in Poland.
It is the government paying people to stay at home due to event 201.
Just like the USA gone are the days into long distant memory where people talked about GDP.

Now just like the USA the printing press for fake Fiat monopoly money is full steam ahead.
I can only relay information that I have been told about the UK from friends and family.
My mother tells me adverts are everywhere, even on remote bus stops, "put a mask on save a life" and things like that.
I checked the UK government website last month, and yes they have put many a tender/offer out - offering millions to advertise the plandemic and keep people in fear of each other.
"A tender offer is typically an active and widespread solicitation by a company or third party"

"The millions spent on ‘disturbing’ covid advertising"
Last week’s six-month extension to coronavirus legislation was predictable for two things: the paucity of Conservative MPs who voted against it, matched by the tiresomely predictable abnegation of Keir Starmer in his duty as leader of the opposition.
Parliament, a supposed debating theatre, has now become a vacuous echo chamber. Voters can only sit back in slack-jawed wonderment at the spectacle of MPs ostentatiously jostling to agree with each other.
Whilst businesses large and small across the country must have gulped at the unwelcome extension to already damaging legislation, there would have been one group cheering to the rafters. This happy breed comprises the advertising agencies and media owners who will once again be hosed down with millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money keeping the government’s rickety narrative on track.
Many subscribe to George Orwell’s withering aphorism that “advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket” but they would be wrong.
State advertising has long been a potent tool to disseminate policy. Overtly parti-pris campaigns are more associated with authoritarian regimes whilst, by contrast, generations of British people have been reared on a more bucolic and balanced diet of government messaging.
The Ministry of Information’s 1939 exhortation to “Keep calm and carry on” epitomised a stoic and collective approach to boosting public morale. It was neither hectoring or fear based; it appealed to the public’s common sense, resolve and intellect. In the 50s and 60s we were advised on cutting out smoking, eating healthier foods, washing hands and the obvious “don’t drink and drive”. Looking back at these initiatives, one cannot help but observe an altogether-different relationship between the state and its subjects.
Even the contentious 1971 change-over to decimalisation was accompanied by a humorous jingle sung by The Scaffold “use your old coppers in sixpenny lots”. To take the public along with them it was abundantly clear that “a light touch” was more rewarding than a serious and alarmist tone.
Yet the covid crisis has revealed a far more unpleasant and disturbing use of text and images. Long gone are the leitmotifs of humour and citizenship, replaced by sullen harassment alongside guilt-inducing accusatory words.
One of the most depressing aspects of the covid saga has been the overwhelming and inescapable orgy of “messaging” that the government has indulged in. Whilst lockdown has presented many challenges for the entire population, a recurrent theme has been the worrying toll exacted mentally for many people.
In 2020, the UK government tripled its already bloated advertising budget, displacing corporate behemoths such as Unilever, Sky and Proctor & Gamble, by splurging a whopping £164 million. If you then add Public Health England’s substantial 2020 ad spend of £80m, you get a good picture of how government messaging has come to comprehensively dominate our lives.
However, unlike traditional advertisers, the government’s covid onslaught has given its target audience no respite. Major advertisers know that while campaigns are effective for a short period, prolonged exposure is both costly and even counterproductive.
We have not had the luxury of commercial concerns effectively curtailing the ceaseless morale sapping covid messaging. It cannot be beyond the comprehension of government ministers and advisors that the public got the message months ago, we do not need a daily salvo of gloom-laden propaganda.
Perhaps the government’s largesse goes some way to explain the oddly uncritical media coverage given over to how the pandemic has been handled domestically. Why, after all, would a dog bite the hand that feeds it?
It is interesting to note though how the whole tone and substance of government messaging has changed since the start of the pandemic. We all understood “Protect yourself and others”; equally so “Hands Face Space”. More questionable and concerning were the preposterous “Act like you’ve got it”, suggesting that joggers and dog walkers were at the top of the vector-spreading tree. This was swiftly followed by the immoral “Look into their eyes” campaign, unsubtly ramming guilt down our collective gullets.
This remorseless activity has probably done more to damage the national mood than the virus itself – one might assume, uncharitably, that this was the over-riding purpose of these campaigns. Fear and destabilisation, as any student of psychology will attest, are twin ways to control people. The fear experienced results in the population turning to their leaders for safety and direction; the solution invariably presented is increasingly freedom-curtailing legislation for which the people are unwittingly grateful.
Sadly, what many currently perceive as benign governmental action, others spy, perhaps more pertinently, as nascent autocracy.

Here they simply told bars, hotels and restaurants to close for 8 months.
Totally unnecessary imo (in my opinion), we all have one.
They closed for a short time in the UK too. Then you had to download a track and trace app to get into them places in the UK.
Luckily here many people do not even own a so called smartphone.
Trying to get people to download an app to track and trace them is impossible if they do not even have a phone.
This is where it crumbles here, the fear campaign. It is not a welfare state.
There is not an abundance of money. There is not the same logic as the UK with consume, spend and consume some more.
There is no "look at me I have the latest Iphone."
I have sat in pubs, bars call them what you like in the UK before I moved here, and sat with people staring at their latest phone, chatting on fakebook, telling everyone how much of a good time they are having while not even looking up from the screen for 1 hour. Never seen it here in almost 8 years now.
Bit difficult to implement old Klaus anal slobs police state, papers please, vaccination cards state too, when most people live day to day.
I see pensioners going through bins here, looking for aluminium cans just to prop up their measly pension.
For a country that charges the same for a TV as Germany does, or even a settee. The state pension is a pittance at £50 a week.
Yes George Orwell or Aldus Huxley can write the nightmare, yes governments can try to implement it.
But to do that here they need to hand out new smart phones, make them apps, pay more in pensions, make a welfare state.
Not happening. So no matter what old Klaus anal slob wants. His vision. His 500 million population control. Not happening here, not any time soon!
Sit on them stones you old fool.
Yes old man, fly from Davos to Georgia, find them guide-stones and put them where the sun does not shine.
Have a superb day everyone else.
