“The rule through pandemic medical and emergency decrees is nothing more than a coup d’état on a worldwide scale and it therefore follows the same patterns, not necessarily in the same order, observed in banana republics:
First, pointing to a threat, lockdown of the borders, and restrictions of the means of transportation; checked.
Second, full control of the media; checked.
Third, declaration of a state of emergency and deployment of forces on the ground; checked.
Fourth, restrictions of assembly and civil rights; checked.
Fifth, repressive measure for those not cooperating; checked.
Sixth, changes to the figures and political scene as some go away and old ones come back; checked.
Seventh, attempt to return to normalcy; checked. - On Tyranny Through Emergency Decrees”
