We live in rapidly changing times, I remind myself, sometimes thinking of Bob Dylan’s, “Times are-a Chang-in”, sometimes picking-up the guitar and playing it, a verse or two.   But unlike the past (and even the volatile 1960s) is a world on the precipice of a new industrial age, the so-called “Great Reset” as the fusion of biology and information surges on and with that, a probing into our personal lives, medical records made public with all the attendant controls and conditions—not the least of which is the possibility of a passport conditioned with/to access…,  availability of/to areas of life taken for granted as merely a choice, a cash transaction or an entitlement—not a “privilege” per se.  That, in the theme of the lyrics by the 1970s’ band America, “don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide”, are patrols empowered by parties thousands of miles away with plans long in the making for a world of tomorrow.    

From the World Economic Forum (WEF), “The Fourth Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond”, regarding the “Great Reset” (a.k.a. the Fourth Industrial Revolution), the generalized but transformative nature, impact, and effect. 

&quot;There are three reasons why today’s transformations represent not merely a prolongation of the Third Industrial Revolution but rather the arrival of a Fourth and distinct one: velocity, scope, and systems impact. The speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent. When compared with previous industrial revolutions, the Fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace. Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country. And the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance.&quot;

And presently, we are witnessing the evidence of such “transformation”, seemingly spearheaded by the medical passport, preceded by an indefinite and perhaps ongoing series of injections of an experimental drug, untested and unproven, and expedited by the manufacturers’ profits amid legal immunity as/from any adverse consequences.   

In the larger context of this “arrival of the Fourth and distinct” industrial revolution is much to consider given just a generalized description, the merger of biology and information rendering our lives much less independent or liberated, much more internationally governed and much less self-governed. That like an ever-surging tide, what is coming is an unnatural, eerily uneasy, and indubitably unique in its undertaking, with one stream concentrated on medical safety and security though in confluence, collaboration, and collusion with others. 
At no other time in our history has the central government superseded the state governments to this degree, the potential impact and effect on society, commerce and culture, through the latest—yet not least—of medical mandates as a requirement to gain or maintain work—let alone carry out our lives as before, the so-called “normal”.   Considering that this ever-surging tide is a confluence of several streams…, a merger of might that is feeding the tide with forces seemingly unassailable, unstoppable, besides unprecedented in our history compared with all such similar episodes of a contagion or a crisis categorically similar.   

An increasing number of states (including South Carolina) are attempting to push-back, to block overreach seemingly for the benefit of their citizens—but at the risk of jeopardizing programs such as Medicare—against pressures for compliance, conformance as the product of this “confluence”.    How this attempt will develop is difficult to consider let alone conceive, the times a-change-in fractions of a second, the sands shifting beneath us.    

From News19, “South Carolina joins Georgia in lawsuit over federal vaccine mandate for contractors “, 

&quot;At issue, according to the Friday announcement from the attorney general, is what Wilson describes as a violation of the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which provides that powers not delegated to the federal government be reserved for the states—or the people.
&#039;The way the Biden administration went about this is unconstitutional and I’m sworn to uphold the Constitution,&#039; Wilson said in the statement. &quot;No one designated President Biden as King Joseph the First.”

And clearly the  Constitution is of no account in view of expedience; that like the sustained surging of the tide, raises the potential to bottom-out society, commerce, and culture—to bring about a world that this world has never known and for many, cannot conceive.       

But contesting or countering such…are some who believe that this too will pass or that once these programs or pogroms are complete, conditions will normalize.  Yet, given the information from the WEF, the WHO and other world agencies, public or private, statist or secretive, such notions of normal are imaginative, illusions, that simply ignore the message made manifest by might with changes long-planned and underway as nations are corralled, coerced and compelled into a this “Great Reset”, the Fourth Industrial Revolution at an “exponential rather than a linear pace”.   

Yes, times are a-change-in, the river is getting broader wider and the tide more trenchant, with consequences as never before in breadth and depth, scope, and scale, public and private.  What to do is a question too difficult for one to answer less their faith in a kingdom to come, less their subservience to one far more worthy of their will and far more able at a better world.";}i:7;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"11";s:4:"slug";s:12:"verification";s:4:"name";s:12:"Verification";s:4:"type";s:12:"verification";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:1:"0";s:5:"value";s:0:"";}i:8;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"12";s:4:"slug";s:27:"please-enter-any-two-digits";s:4:"name";s:27:"Please enter any two digits";s:4:"type";s:6:"secret";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:2:"11";s:5:"value";s:2:"12";}i:9;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"13";s:4:"slug";s:6:"submit";s:4:"name";s:6:"Submit";s:4:"type";s:6:"submit";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:2:"11";s:5:"value";s:0:"";}}
