Governments started inserting the time period “misinformation” into the mainstream narrative in the course of the pandemic. The federal government has the only real discretion to find out what is taken into account factual. “Belief the science” is code for “belief the federal government” to dictate actuality, and if you happen to query that actuality, you can be punished.
Swiss Nationwide Council member Andreas Glarner, Brünisholz discovered himself in a courtroom after posting on social media: “‘Should you dig up LGBTQI folks after 200 years, you’ll solely discover women and men primarily based on their skeletons. All the things else is a psychological sickness promoted by way of the curriculum.”
Cops interrogated Brünisholz over the “intent” of his publish on his private social media web page. The authorities decided that he had dedicated a criminal offense underneath the brand new pointers within the Swiss Prison Code that ban any questioning of sexual orientation or sexuality.
The decide dominated:
“‘LGBTQI means lesbian, homosexual, bi, transgender, queer and intersex, and denotes due to this fact completely different sexual orientations. It’s a free group of people that contemplate themselves part of the aforementioned sexual orientations. Subsequently, LGBTQI is a bunch of individuals with particular sexual orientations.”

The Swiss courts imprisoned a person for commenting on anatomy. His remark is a scientific, plain, and tangible truth. There was no malicious or threatening act—he merely voiced his opinion on-line. Governments won’t allow the folks to talk out in opposition to their curated model of actuality. His true crime was questioning that actuality and stating that the federal government is mendacity. The premise is totally ridiculous, however this story illustrates how far governments will go to silence all dissent. The phenomenon of elevated authoritarianism is a worldwide phenomenon, and COVID was the gateway to seizing elevated management. They goal to instill concern within the world inhabitants, tightening their grip as folks begin questioning the reality. Do not forget that the time period “woke” was initially used as a slang time period for individuals who felt woke up from authorities’s model of actuality, however that’s now unlawful.
