Why the ‘eKaren’ is trying to control content globally

While this pandemic is not likely to be as financially brutal as COVID in the short-term, in the long run, it could be culturally ruinous as it attempts to limit thought to government-approved talking points.

Do you remember how the COVID pandemic started as a vague rumour coming out of China of a new and strange disease that killed people in the streets; where the authorities were welding people into their houses so even if they contracted it they couldn't pass it on; and masks were mandatory and pharmaceuticals yet to be invented?

And then suddenly the whole world seemed to be following suit, closing borders, locking people inside, covering their faces, rushing vaccines into production, and keeping us "safe."

Hourly, we were assailed with COVID fearmongering on our TVs and in our newspapers-coloured graphs showing the relentless rise and destructiveness of this novel virus-and all the governments and the media aligned and supported each other, as you must when everything is on a virtual war footing.

And we were on a virtual war footing with chief health officers (CHO) performing the role of Generals Monash, Eisenhower, or Montgomery.

Misinformation creeping into the public consciousness

This time around, the role of CHO, or supreme military commander, appears to have been commandeered by JIG, the eKaren, or eSafety commissioner.

It was during this first pandemic that the second started to become visible.

It's a world-wide phenomenon as can be seen as Google searches for "misinformation" rose above background noise in January 2020, in both Australia and the United States, before there was any virus in the wild in either of those countries.

It peaked in Australia in October 2023 and has maintained a very high level since. The United States peaked earlier but is currently at similar levels.

While correlation isn't causation, this can't be an accident-someone started talking and thinking about misinformation seriously just as the virus was knocking on the door.
