Dissolving delusions of scientism

Vaccines at centre of inquisition-style control network

- by SERENA WYLDE

THE 18th century Enlightenment — that began with the writings of French philosophers — gradually brought an end to centuries of religious inquisitions, superstitions, and arbitrary power exercised by ecclesiastical hierarchies.

The Age of Reason fostered knowledge through innovation and discovery, and questioned traditional understandings of authority. Montesquieu's theory of the separation of powers called for governmental authority to be divided into three distinct branches — legislative, executive, and judicial — in order to guard against the abuse of power. Individual liberty was given primacy through religious freedom and the rule of law.

So how has western civilisation regressed to arbitrary forms of governance and inquisitional techniques of tyrannical control? Science, which is just the Latin word for knowledge, has been hijacked into a proprietary brand, one owned by the state, corporations and the media, and is being exploited for private gain.

In the same way that the Church controlled people by instilling fear, guilt and shame for failing to comply with religious dictates, so corporate-owned science uses the same methods to flood people's minds with the notion we are at the mercy of constantly emerging infectious diseases, and a boiling planet. Government and its health authorities have assumed arbitrary power and exhort us to take endless medical concoctions or be doomed. The same emotional triggers are used to force adherence to net zero.

Dissenting scientists are vilified with derogatory terms such as anti-vaxxers, climate-deniers, or science-deniers. They are pressured like Galileo in 1633 to recant. And if they resist, they are discredited, lose their livelihoods and are erased from public discourse. The pattern is similar to the way in which religious heretics were excommunicated from the Church and publicly punished for holding a different opinion.
