I am a Brit who has lived in Sweden for 20 years and I have never been prouder of my adopted country than I was during Covid, and I will thank Sweden and Tegnell to my dying day for the stoically stubborn courage of a whole country, when the entire world was howling at us.

The authors of the Great Barrington Declaration showed true courage during a time when it was sorely lacking.

Hey GPT "what would it look like if there were efforts to erase all ideas of nation and race and create a one world government? how would it be done and how would they present it to trick people?" "Creating a one-world government while erasing the concepts of nation and race would require a multifaceted approach that combines technological, social, and political strategies. Here's a speculative scenario of how such efforts might unfold: 1. **Technological Integration:** The first step would involve leveraging advanced technologies to create a seamless global infrastructure. This would include a universal digital identification system linked to biometric data, ensuring every individual is interconnected and trackable across borders. 2. **Global Citizenship:** The concept of national citizenship would gradually be replaced by the notion of global citizenship. This would be marketed as a progressive step towards inclusivity and unity, erasing the barriers of nationality and promoting a sense of belonging to a "global community." 3. **Cultural Homogenization:** Efforts would be made to standardize cultural norms and practices worldwide. Cultural diversity would be celebrated but within predefined boundaries set by a central authority, promoting a sanitized version of cultural expression that aligns with the ideals of the one-world government. 4. **Education and Media Control:** Educational curriculums and media outlets would be tightly controlled to propagate the narrative of global unity and downplay the significance of national or racial identities. Historical narratives might be rewritten or suppressed to fit the desired narrative of a harmonious global society. 5. **Economic Integration:** Economic systems would be streamlined under a global regulatory framework, promoting free trade and interconnected financial networks. The promise of economic prosperity and equal opportunities for all would be used to garner support for the one-world government agenda. 6. **Political Consolidation:** Existing international organizations like the United Nations would evolve into a more centralized governing body with increased authority over national governments. Treaties and agreements would gradually erode the sovereignty of nations in favor of a unified global governance structure. 7. **Propaganda and Manipulation:** Mass communication channels would be used to constantly reinforce the benefits of a one-world government while demonizing dissent or nationalist movements as regressive and divisive. Terms like "global harmony," "universal justice," and "world peace" would be popularized to promote the idea of a utopian global society. The presentation to the public would be carefully crafted to appeal to idealistic notions of unity, equality, and progress. Key strategies would include: - **Emphasis on Crisis Management:** Global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and economic disparities would be used as justification for centralized global governance. Solutions would be framed as requiring coordinated global efforts under one authority. - **Promises of Security and Stability:** The one-world government would promise enhanced security, both in terms of physical safety and economic stability. The narrative would suggest that a unified global approach is the only way to address complex global threats effectively. - **Inclusive Language:** Propaganda and messaging would use inclusive language that resonates with diverse populations, emphasizing shared values and aspirations while downplaying differences. - **Selective Transparency:** While promoting transparency as a value, the actual workings of the global governance system would be opaque to the general public, with decisions made by an elite group of policymakers and technocrats. Overall, the strategy would be to present the idea of a one-world government as the natural evolution of humanity towards a more enlightened and harmonious future, while strategically erasing or redefining concepts that could hinder that vision, such as national sovereignty and cultural distinctiveness.

but you do have to bear in mind the differences of countries. USA ...... way overweight populations, UK much more densely populated than Sweden, different races. different weather, different kinds of population - look at the discipline of Germans and Japanese - the ill discipline of India? and I'm one who thinks it WAS badly mishandled, the vaccines etc. The trouble is there are too many variables to properly draw conclusions. Yes I have a serious illness, did the vaccine cause it? And kids are badly disciplined too now, terribly in some classes I used to teach .... not sure they wouldn't have been like that anyway, but younger kids were seriously troubled, imagine trying to learn to speak from someone wearing a face-mask.

You also have to bear in mind that in many jurisdictions in England and the US, they over estimated beer bug by as much as 94 percent , that there was NO excess death in 2020 due to beer bug and that after 4 years not one single hospital system on planet earth was stressed by beer bug patients. The average age of death for beer bug (even with the bloated fake data) is older than the average age of the citizens of that society. Even Tegnell's claim that we failed seniors in homes is exaggerated since there was not any significant excess mortality in seniors residences. There certainly was medical murder by midazolam, automatic DNRs applied to seniors and even in Sweden, seniors who died at 94 of cancer were added to the covid mortality role even if they didn't have it. We knew the lockdowns resulted in more years of life lost than the virus ever would, and that was well understood in spring 2020. The WHO and every major healthcare system declared the beer bug to be a non-critical virus a day or two after each jurisdiction declared a state of emergency. It was not just the worst public policy of our lifetime but an overt criminal action, coordinated and backed by trillions of dollars This was also well understood by real doctors and scientists in 2020. Tegnell is awesome but still exaggerates the threat of the reletively mild, non critical beer bug '19.

The UK isn't much more densely populated than Sweden. Sweden and the UK are actually a pretty good comparison --- because the vast majority of people live in densely packed cities. Stockholm and london, for example, are REALLY GOOD cities to compare to one another in terms of population density. Basically Sweden is the 'outlier' country in the Nordics in terms of comparison with other Western countries. You can't feasibly compare Norway, Iceland, or even Denmark for instance, because of the issue you mentioned. But Sweden is the most.... 'Western' of the Nordics demos and geography wise, if you get me.

@@hayleylongster4698 I take your points but no, - black people, considerable Indian and Pakistani populations, (vitamin D deficiencies) hopelessly overweight populations of all colours - an impoverished population by comparison, unused to physical exercise, a densely populated core of the country 200miles along its length. How many people are educated in the UK to a level where they can even speak a foreign language (well the above mentioned groups can but the whites? in Britain, may be 15%? in Sweden, may be 95%+. (this is deliberate btw and Lazy) .... No I think you are way wrong, we are an aggressive little nation, I frequently visited hardware stores (builders who would show off by NOT wearing masks, acting tough, same with various of the groups mentioned above, large Romanian and Bulgarian populations who didn't follow any separation rules whatsoever, they work in distribution on the road and in warehouses (I live in an Eastern European populated area of a poor town) .... no comparison between Sweden and England. Constant squabbling and one-upmanship between 4 different regional governments ... pull the other one, we're nought like each other in so many ways. 'metro area population of Stockholm in 2023 was 1,700,000' - wiki, Gothenburg 600K, Malmo 300K London in 2023 9,648,000 (Statista), Dec 22, 2022 - 63.2% of residents identified with an ethnic minority group.(UK Government) ... by far the majority darker skinned than the white population so cannot synthesise vitamin D so efficiently ... a lot of Black people came from the West Indies to drive buses, they still do and a lot died. enough! enough?
