I hope the people who spent over two years on their covid jihad, destroying lives and livelihoods, retarding the education of an entire generation of children, twisting facts to fit a corrupt agenda, I hope they understand there were millions of people keeping receipts, and that the receipt-keepers won't be trying to shame their persecutors, for they know they feel no shame. They will be seeking justice, and possibly vengeance, against the entire class that oppressed them.
I think I will retreat to the castle keep for a couple years and just observe how things play out.
If you'll excuse me, there's a drawbridge to be raised, can't take too many precautions against the risk of misidentification. I'd prefer the last sound I hear not be the mob baying "À la lanterne!"
We've visited the author of this piece, Michael Senger a few times, usually identifying him as a San Francisco Attorney. I'm wondering now if he somewhat fancies himself in the role of the chief American prosecutor at Nuremberg, Justice Jackson.
From Mr. Senger's substack, The New Normal, October 11:
Disturbing questions remain as to who did what, when, and why in the days leading up to the lockdowns of spring 2020 and beyond.
In the aftermath of the world’s catastrophic response to Covid-19, some governments have begun conducting inquiries into what went wrong. Yet owing to a combination of politics, face-saving, and outright corruption, these inquiries have generally been toothless. For example, a report published last year by the UK House of Commons concluded, backwardly, that if the UK had gone into strict lockdown three days sooner, disaster would have been averted.
Conclusions like these are as insulting to the public’s intelligence as was the response to Covid itself. The response to Covid led to the sharpest economic collapse since the Great Depression, global famine, a mental health crisis, runaway inflation, a transfer of over $3 trillion from the world’s poorest to the very richest, the premature deaths of hundreds of thousands of young people, and the worst education crisis since the Second World War.
Given the magnitude of the harm that’s been done, the public deserves to know exactly who knew and did what, when, and why in the days leading up to the lockdowns of spring 2020 and beyond. Though it may not be politically feasible, ideally this would one day take the form of an international tribunal. Below are just some of the many disturbing questions to which any leader who claims to represent the public ought to demand answers:
Why did the CDC suddenly adopt “measures to increase social distance” as official policy in 2004, contrary to all the epidemiological guidance it had developed throughout the 20th century?
Who was behind the campaign to export the concept of “lockdown” to Liberia and Sierra Leone in 2014?
Some intelligence reports have indicated that members of the western national security community were aware a new virus had emerged in China by fall 2019. What was being said about the virus at that time?
If some national security officials had been worrying about a new virus in China since fall 2019, how could they have possibly believed China’s two-month lockdown of Wuhan eliminated the virus several months later?
By January 2020, tips began to emerge that the World Health Organization was planning to recreate China’s lockdowns across the world, starting in Italy. When and on what basis did the World Health Organization make this decision?
Lockdowns had been ruled out by the pandemic plans of the WHO and every developed nation. Why weren’t these pandemic plans followed?
Why were health security officials talking about “curfews of indefinite duration” by February 24, 2020?
Why does the WHO’s February 2020 report rely on logical fallacies in its promulgation of China’s lockdown measures as global policy?
Why was the current Director of National Intelligence sitting next to China’s CDC director at the Event 201 simulation of a coronavirus pandemic in October 2019, shortly before a real coronavirus pandemic emerged?
Former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Deborah Birx has made conflicting statements about how she got her job. For example, the former Deputy National Security Advisor offered her a job in the White House as public health security advisor as far back as November 2019. How was Birx chosen for this role?
Who was behind the terror campaign of fake videos showing Wuhan residents spontaneously dying and convulsing in the streets January and February 2020?
Why is there no record of the hero doctor Li Wenliang before he appeared in Chinese state media at the end of January 2020? On what basis did western media outlets adopt this story as true?
High-level members of the national security community including the former Director of National Intelligence and the former Secretary of State have stated as fact that Covid came from a lab in Wuhan. At the same time, high-level scientific officials including NIAID Director Anthony Fauci have stated that it is “molecularly impossible” for Covid to have come from that lab. How can we still have this disconnect at the highest levels of the federal government?

Here's his latest in response to the Atlantic article suggesting we let bygones be bygones, October 31:
“Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty”—Not
And here are the final words of Justice Jackson's closing statement at the Nuremberg trial of the the Nazis in 1946:
"....It is common to think of our own time as standing at the apex of civilisation from which the deficiencies of preceding ages may patronisingly be viewed in the light of what is assumed to be progress. The reality is that in the long perspective of history the present century will not hold an enviable position unless the second half is to redeem its first.
They stand before the record of this tribunal as bloodstained Gloucester stood by the body of his slain king. He begged of the widow, as they beg of you: "Say I slew them not." And the Queen replied: "Then say they were not slain. But dead they are."
If you were to say of these men that they are not guilty, it would be as true to say that there has been no war, that there are no slain, that there has been no crime."
