Death and "resurrection"... If the Internal Security law is not amended before it is approved, then here's what will happen to you:
Every purchase you make with a credit card, every subscription you sign up for, every medical prescription concerning you, every website you visit and every email you receive or send, every academic distinction you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip or journey you book, and every ticket you buy for a concert or cinema — all these transactions and communications of yours will end up in what the Ministry of Defense describes as a "virtual, centralized large database." In this digital dossier on your private life, filled with data from commercial sources, add every piece of information the government has about you: an application for a passport, a driver’s license, court rulings, divorces; include also the data that will be collected by hidden cameras — and you have the dream of every super-spy. The "Total Information Awareness" for every American citizen.

This is not an extreme Orwellian scenario. It is what will happen to individual freedoms if John Poindexter gets the approval he is seeking for this incredible concentration of power...

Do the above sound familiar? Yet they are old: an excerpt from a New York Times article dated November 2, 2002... Back then, in the aftermath of 9/11 a year earlier, the American deep state tried to legislate universal surveillance within the US... To protect the surveilled from the "invisible enemy": the "terrorists" hiding among the masses, who could kill anyone, anywhere. And because these "terrorists" were so cunning as to even possess biological weapons, the T.I.A. (Total Information Awareness) would need to have all the basic health information of each individual — how else could it protect them?

Official approval for such a law was to be given then, at the end of 2002... Despite the fact that the "terrorist attacks" (now clearly known by more than half of Americans to have been an inside job...) had caused widespread shock, and despite the fact that the American state had already begun its invasion of Afghanistan, the reaction against T.I.A. was strong. At that time... The famous "American Civil Liberties Union" (A.C.L.U.) as well as the mainstream media turned against this universal surveillance; hence the article in the New York Times.

The same reaction would have emerged if something similar were attempted in Europe at that time. In some countries (England, France), anti-terrorism legislation was passed — thanks to the mistaken middle-class social idea that these laws concerned only the "others," the "black foreigners"... Anti-terrorism laws are always in place, and — beyond the "suspected dark-skinned" — they can be applied against anyone.

Centuries have not passed... Only 18 years. How was this political, ideological, moral, almost "anthropological" change in Western societies possible, allowing dictatorial measures of generalized prohibitions to be applied without protest (initially) — unprecedented not only for "democracies" but even for medieval regimes? How was the disappearance of the "Western left" (and all its most extreme versions) possible, or even worse, their complicity in coups and any form of fascist "internal" collective responsibility?

There is no secret. The answer is known. Neoliberalism, not as state policy but as a social ideology, had ripened to the point of decay. Before it completely rotted, it had endowed all the petty bourgeois, regardless of social class, age, gender, or sexual orientation, with the idea of "Health as Individual Capital." Hygienism became such a commonplace ideology of daily use that it no longer drew attention, not even a little.

It was enough, then, to adapt to the construction of the invisible enemy! Not underground jihadists who "hate our civilization," but underground viruses... While the average petty bourgeois citizen could maintain some distance from the former, the latter became the perfect "evil." So perfect that even if it has affected someone, even if it has made them a "vehicle of infectiousness," that person might not even realize it.

The construction of the "invisible jihadist killer" certainly lagged behind in this: it did not cause guilt in everyone. On the contrary, the ridiculous, also unprecedented idea of the "asymptomatic," the living vehicle that carries the "killer virus" everywhere — from the elevator and kitchen to the square and the beach — causes guilt. Paranoid guilt was named social responsibility — and was weaponized. Everyone to monitor everyone...

Thus, those old plans — which should not be considered exclusively as "American" — are now being implemented. With far fewer obstacles; and with much stronger technological capabilities than in 2002. Moreover, they are not being implemented as a cohesive package. The bosses use more "fluid" tactics; they maneuver; they seek the paths with the least resistance; they constantly explore "public opinion" to launch a fresh attack; they do not advance at the speed they would like, but they advance.

Perhaps, in the end, the virus is completely unrelated to all this — just another excuse? If you have, as a power bloc, plans of almost two decades that at a certain moment failed to be fully and officially implemented, what will you do with them? Will you throw them away? Will you passively wait for the opportunity to try again? Or will you ensure that the conditions (better than before...) are created to present them as salvation?

Those who have not forgotten what happened and how it happened on September 11, 2001, now have evidence that it was an inside job — the necessary "Pearl Harbor" that the supporters and designers of the "American 21st century" had announced... The supporters, designers, and bosses of the 4th capitalist industrial revolution — didn’t they also deserve their own "Pearl Harbor" on their terms?
