Nothing is over

Thought experiment here: Imagine the Holocaust and all that happened (I know, I know), and imagine that it ended because one day the NSDAP announced that they had successfully brought the Jewish population down to a manageable number, that they no longer posed an existential threat to the German people and their destiny, and that therefore all policies of institutional antisemitism could finally be safely discontinued, at least for the time being. Wow, great news for the Jews, right?

Or imagine that instead of the Emancipation Proclamation, the various States had begun a program of gradually phasing out chattel slavery, saying that advances in agricultural technology were making it less and less economically necessary. What a victory for the abolitionists!

Of course these two imagined changes would be good news rather than bad for the Jews and the blacks, but they wouldn't be victory. The old systems wouldn't have ended, and it would be understood that the concentration camps and slave markets could easily start up again at any time in response to changing circumstances.

In the real world, where slavery in America and the persecution of Jews in Germany are over, they're over because (1) there was widespread repentance, with people acknowledging that the old system had not merely ceased to be expedient but was morally wrong and always had been; and (2) laws were passed to ensure that such things never happened again.

And that's how it is with the birdemic hypochondriarchy. Any easing or removal of totalitarian restrictions, when presented without repentance and in the spirit of "mission accomplished," is good news rather than bad but is not victory. Nothing is over. Not until new Constitutional amendments make it impossible for anything like 2020 to ever happen again. Not until there's a scandal whenever some public figure's old pro-peck tweets are dredged up. Not until people routinely excoriate their political enemies as "literally Fauci."

Because without repentance and confession of wrong it can all easily happen again for any reason they choose as an excuse.

William,

I absolutely agree with your statement: Nothing is over,
and I would include slavery.

The American Empire could not have been built without cheap labor.
First Chattel Slavery ( and during Chattel Slavery
the enacting of Partus Sequitur Ventrem ).

After Chattel Slavery, The Black Codes were enacted
then Jim Crow, One Drop and Nixon's War on Drugs (continued by both Republicans
and Democrats (including Obama).

All enacted to ensure a subservient cheap Peonage labor source that still exists
to this very day, so I disagree with your statement about 'victory' for Black Folks
(at least where it concerns Black People Collectively).

Sex, Power and Money, the trinity that rules this dimension/matrix/Earth.

As far as the Bird Pandemic;
A very intriguing read and research (and I would say an accurate ' crystal ball' to gauge
a very probable future (IMO ) is Pluto in Aquarius, which Pluto in Aquarius is just around the corner (2023)

Much of the information in the article (see link) I have been predicting for a VERY long time.

Here's a good place to start:

Debbie, I don’t think “cheap labor” is still the primary role of blacks in the US. That function has been largely taken over by Hispanics, and especially by illegal immigrants, whose “outlaw” status makes slavery-style exploitation particularly convenient for their employers.

Rather than cheap labor, what blacks provide to the System today is a weaponizable criminal underclass (gangs, BLM, etc.) and an important role in the various entertainment industries. Black entertainers are allowed to say things other people aren’t allowed to say, and that allows them to play the important “court jester” role. That’s how it looks to me as an outsider, anyway, keeping in mind that I live on the other side of the world in a country with basically no black people at all!

I was listening to some David Bowie last night and was struck by the album art for  Ziggy Stardust . Right above Bowie is a sign that says ...
