Edward Snowden Warns: Emergency Powers and Surveillance States – The Danger Outlasting Coronavirus!

"Governments love pandemics, & they love pandemics for the same reasons they love war. Because it gives them the possibility of imposing controls on the population that the latter would never accept otherwise." Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"The coronavirus crisis did not come out of the blue. It fits into a series of increasingly desperate and self-destructive societal responses to objects of fear: terrorists, global warming, coronavirus. Whenever a new object of fear arises in society, there is only one response and one defense in our current way of thinking: increased control. The fact that the human being can tolerate only a certain amount of control is completely overlooked. Coercive control leads to fear and fear leads to more coercive control. Just like that, society falls victim to a vicious circle that inevitably leads to totalitarianism, which means to extreme government control, eventually resulting in the radical destruction of both the psychological and physical integrity of human beings."
