Humanity is one because Truth is one. Reason unites us. Deliberate in good faith even with madmen and tyrants… and the Good will follow.

Gaslighting is the hallmark of psychopaths. This is how they normalise abuse, by saying “oh, you are just too sensitive because you were abused.” This garbage pseudo-science from NZ gets a write up because it suits their sick agenda, whereas my work published in the BMJ does not even get a mention; it makes too much sense.
The essence of totalitarianism as expressed by Varlam Shalamov: “I saw what a weighty argument for the intellectual is the most ordinary slap in the face.” https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/06/12/forty-five-things-i-learned-in-the-gulag/

People who do not deliberate in good faith, who do not seek to genuinely understand one another and resolve disagreements, who are not open to the possibility that they could be wrong but assert their beliefs by coercion or force, no longer participate in the collective creation and preservation of meaning, which is an essential property of Humanity (understood as reflexively-conscious rational beings). They thus deny their humanity, and therefore voluntarily renounce their moral status.

If authority can exist only where there is responsibility, those who deny responsibility for ther actions implicitly deny their moral authority, and therefore their moral status, and therefore their human rights. Denial of personal responsibility for actions is metaphysical self-harm, it reduces the human to an animal (or reveals one as such).

Let me help you Brendan. Male is a functional kind characterised by the capacity to produce sperm, and Female is a functional kind characterised by the capacity to produce eggs. Sex (Male or Female) is attributed to a human body if the relevant capacity could be realised in one’s lifetime under conditions of anatomical completeness, sexual maturity and the optimal state of health. ‘Woman’ is then an adult female, and ‘Man’ is an adult human male, as proven here: https://culturalanalysisnet.wordpress.com/2018/01/27/functionalist-defence-binary-gender/ This alone makes me more qualified than Brendan Murphy, or anyone else in the government, to be the Health Minister. Brendan should quit because his ignorance of basic biological facts is a danger to public health.
The Essence of Fascism

The essence of Fascism is the collusion of the State apparatus and the Corporate managerial class to freely transgress the human rights of individuals, allegedly in the interests of the Greater Good or the Collective (which are invariably limited to the interests of the fascist elite). The purest form of Fascism is called Communism.
“Fringe voices” is a Newspeak term for ‘evidence and accountability’.

It is irrational to expect a different outcome by repeating the same weak arguments that already failed in many other jurisdictions. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-high-court-rules-vaccination-mandates-for-educators-healthcare-workers-justified-dismisses-challenge/Q4NCC26OS7VOPOP72AR7TSYRJU/
I want to emphasise that I am not a member of the “freedom movement” (even though I value freedom); I am not Left or Right or Centre (even though I care about what is objectively right vs wrong); I am not a believer (because belief is the opposite of good faith); I am not an activist (because the pursuit of mutual understanding is more constructive then forcing your own way). I am bound only by the universal, indispensable rules of sense vs non-sense, logical consistency vs. absurdity, and the positions I take on specific social issues derive solely from rational deliberation, not from ideology or political partisanship, not from emotion. Just because someone else opposes mandatory vaccination or face-masks does not make them my kind, let alone my buddy.

SABC and Universities Alliance Exposé' of UJ vaccine mandate - UJ offers "grace period" until further notice

Following a televised exposé of UJ's vaccination policy, centered around Universities Alliance's planned action against the university, UJ has substantially softened their mandatory vaccination policy, at least on a temporary basis, and offered a "grace period (which will apply until further notice)" to unvaccinated staff and students.

Whereas previously such individuals were totally denied access to campus without proof of vaccination, as of 8 April 2022 there is now an option to present a negative PCR test every 7 days as an alternative.

This is not an acceptable arrangement, but nonetheless represents a step in the right direction and shows a welcome willingness on the university's part to reassess the situation.

Pressure from Universities Alliance's legal team since November 2021 to provide justification for the policy in the form of risk assessments and scientific backing, along with our medical affidavit and letter of demand issued in March 2022, has led to the necessity for UJ to acknowledge the need for "conducting further risk assessments" and review their mandate.

While we celebrate this partial victory, we must also be mindful that this decision is by no means definitive, and there is always the potential for a full mandate to be reintroduced depending on the outcomes of the new risk assessments - in which case Universities Alliance will be ready as always. We also do not see the testing requirement as acceptable, as it is still unscientific and financially punitive -hence, it will not go unchallenged by us either.

Nonetheless, this shows that sustained pressure does lead to positive outcomes - as we have repeatedly stated, our goal from the outset has been to try to eliminate the need for expensive and lengthy litigation wherever possible.

Philanthropy is a ritualised form of corruption, ideological and political bribery executed by the rich in broad daylight, under the guise of the good.
The following interview from 1958 may hold the key to decoding the current political events in the world. Do you understand? https://youtu.be/3lb7J3_8nas?t=1148
This is how philanthropy is used to hijack and corrupt higher education. “industrial managers (…) are not interested in employees who think for themselves and teach others to do so. They propose to do the essential thinking for us, and they want faculty merely to execute their vision”. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/higher-education-corporate-takeover-kaiser-university-of-tulsa/
The CHO does not have legislative powers, only the Parliament does, so the admission that this was an exercise of legislative powers proves that vaccine mandates were always unlawful. https://news.1rj.ru/str/NationalUnited/319 (I have explained my position on this in more detail here: https://news.1rj.ru/str/NormalParty/34)
The greatest threat to your freedom is your own Ego. In order to free yourself from manipulation, from delusions, from terror, you first have to overcome your own conceit. You have to accept the basic fact that you are relatively unintelligent and ignorant, that the people who manipulate you have twice your IQ, incommensurably more specialised knowledge, and they have the unmatched technological capability to leverage their superior intellect and knowledge against you. Unless you have the capacity to give up everything you believe and start again, you can never be free. It is a monumental personal challenge, an unending challenge, a way of life, and nobody else can do it for you.
Good comparison. But what we have learned from this social experiment is that given enough rope, most people will destroy themselves and their children.
I ask you to compare the following two videos, two individuals, two “teams”. I will not make any comments or draw any conclusions from this. This is for you alone, to see what differences/contrast you can discern and how this may affect your perception of the political reality.

It is astounding that the strongest and simplest argument against vaccine mandates, that they violate the right to life of some people for the alleged benefit of the majority, is not used by the professional defenders of human rights. Instead, they focus on minor technicalities, which are always vulnerable to differences of legal opinion: https://news.1rj.ru/str/c/1495722711/7863
We are Free to think, but nobody can compel us to think rationally, this is something we must earn ourselves. Some help in this regard is possible; consistent, calm, logical communisation, arguments made in good faith, are a tide that raises all boats. On the other hand, irrational thought, which is to say ‘non-sense’, is the limit of human freedom, the ultimate destroyer of meaning and being. If we can learn (and assist others as much as possible) to think more in compliance with the 3 laws of thought, then the scope of our freedom, indeed the scope of our Reality, will expand. The boundaries of our freedom are within ourselves; we project them on the world.
I started reading Henry Kissinger’s (apparently unpublished) undergraduate thesis, completed when he was 27 years old. For anyone who is serious about politics (or “freedom” as a moral principle) it is a must read. https://archive.org/details/HenryAKissingerTheMeaningOfHistoryReflectionsOnSpenglerToynbeeAndKant/page/n7/mode/2up
