Gaslighting in the Age of COVID

The following  video seeks to offer a critically reflective tour through not only some of the Constitutional dimensions of the COVID-19 crisis(at least as those dimensions pertain to constitutional possibilities in America), but, as well, the video undertakes forays into a number of issues involving public health, virology, PCR testing, immunity, and medicine.  The latter part of the video also touches on some of the work of Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo by offering a brief overview concerning how two of their experiments in particular have considerable relevance for many of the controversies that surround, and are entailed by, the events to which COVID-19 has given rise.

 Quite frequently, the biggest obstacle to being able to properly understand various issues is not necessarily a function of ignorance but, instead, often tends to arise when we become entangled in the illusion that we believe we know something to be true when such a  belief might not be tenable when critically examined. Hopefully, the Gaslighting video will provide potential viewers with an opportunity to meditate on a variety of issues of importance to everyday life.

For those who complete the the video journey to which I am directing your attention, you will discover that near the end of the video there are directions for how to go about downloading a number of free e-books covering topics such as sovereignty, constitutionality, and education. And, no, you will not have to give your e-mail in exchange for those free books, nor will you required to join anything in order to acquire the foregoing material.

What’s the trick? There is none.

If you like the books, then, we both will be happy. If you don’t like the books, then, we both will be happy as well, because you didn’t lose any money to acquire them, and I didn’t receive any money for something you didn’t like. 

Here is the link for the video: Gaslighting . Depending on the speed of your internet connection, the video could take a little bit of time to buffer.

The Essence of the Problem That Lies Before Us

 

Preamble: Any form of public policy, including health, gives expression to a species of religion which government officials are seeking to evangelically and forcibly impose on other individuals (i.e., citizens). No one – not governments (whether federal or state) and not individuals -- can be shown to have a right under the U.S. Constitution -- to establish the foregoing sort of religious perspective.

---- 

The foregoing preamble serves to introduce a 65- page article that critically reflects on the the U.S. Constitution with respect to the nature of the relationship among: The establishment clause; the necessary and proper clause; the Ninth Amendment, the Tenth Amendment, and the guarantee clause of Article IV, Section 4 in conjunction with the structural character of the roles that have been assigned to the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of federal government. Among other things, the foregoing conceptual exploration seeks to understand the potential meaning and significance of terms  such as: "religion," "establishment," "retained rights," "reserved powers," "necessary and proper," "the people," "guarantee," as well as "a republican form of government". 

I believe the foregoing article provides readers with considerable insight into what the essential nature of the problem is with which we are presently confronted, and, consequently, I contend that the aforementioned article is of crucial significance to every American -- especially in light of the events that currently are unfolding all about us -- and, as a result, constitutes essential reading material. Please let others know about this article, because these are issues about which we all need to critically reflect and act upon.
