Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program
18 August 2021
The famous quote by Milton Freidman gets more and more obviously true as the years go by, and a good example of this is the Scottish Government right now, specifically the SNP under the rulership of Nicola Sturgeon as they, in an entirely expected turn of events, want to keep the “Emergency COVID Powers™” forever.
The Telegraph have today reported on this with a headline of “Scottish Government wants to make emergency Covid powers permanent” but the article is behind a paywall because the more discerning propagandised reader knows that to get world class Government sponsored disinformation you need to pay for it, again. Fear not, MSN (Microsoft News) has an article from the Daily Mail about it titled “SNP ministers want to make emergency laws PERMANENT”.
I’m not recommending the Daily Mail or MSN over the Telegraph, or at all, those are just for reference. The point here is that the SNP have always been rather clumsy and not very subtle about their aspirations as total control State Authorities, whereas Westminster is generally a bit more subtle about it. Reading a line like “The Tories said it is a clear signal ministers are unwilling to give up their control over people’s lives” is only there to put the false idea in people’s minds that the English Parliament isn’t drooling at the idea of doing the same. But they have vastly more experience at getting these kinds of things done with the legendary British soft power.
We shall examine the ways that the British Government has and does ply it’s trade and utilised “soft power” in a future article, but for now it should be clear why the UK Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has Communist Party member and director of The Centre for Behaviour Change Susan Michie on it.
The Scottish National Socialists, or Snazis as I have seen them referenced as, are relatively new at this Ultimate Power Grab game, and are rather inelegant in their methods. The English lot can draw on centuries of experience and the wealth of manipulative psychological techniques the likes of the Tavistock Institute has furnished them with, and will eventually social engineer enough of the brainwashed public into begging the Government not to give up their tyrannical powers, or they’ll just drop them and then reintroduce them as soon as they want them again, citing the previous time as a precedent.
Rest assured any protests or faux-outrage you hear coming from the English Parliament is all part of the game.
