For the last two years that we have been taken for a ride and that we have been getting information, we have had all the necessary hindsight to distinguish "the truth from the falsehood". The ridiculous self-assessments that were supposed to make us fill in were indeed intended to make us consent to our own confinement and to make us our own jailers. Their creators are now congratulating themselves. The staging of a deadly global pandemic, "worse than the Spanish flu of 1918", was indeed a staging. The documents attesting to this have since been leaked, as we shall see below. All the terrifying models were wrong. The blackmail of the hospital-that-cracks was also a blackmail. The concomitant spectacle of the private clinics, almost idle and, above all, far removed from any requisition, was enough to attest to this. But the persistence, since then, in tearing apart hospitals and their personnel provides definitive proof. The furious determination to sweep away any treatment that did not involve experimenting with biotechnologies on entire populations, reduced to the state of guinea pigs, was somewhat suspicious. A vaccination campaign organized by the McKinsey firm and a "health pass" later, the brutalization of the public debate takes on its full meaning. This is probably the first deadly epidemic that people need to be convinced exists. The monster that has been advancing on us for the past two years is not, for the time being, a virus crowned with a protein, but a technological acceleration endowed with a power to tear calculated. Every day we witness the attempt to realize the insane transhumanist project of convergence of NBIC technologies (Nano-Bio- Info-Cognitive). This utopia of complete remaking of the world, this dream of optimal control of social, physical and mental processes does not even bother to hide anymore. One will have had no qualms about imposing as a remedy for a virus resulting from experiments to gain function within the framework of a "biodefense" program another biotechnological experiment conducted by a laboratory whose medical director prides himself on "hacking the software of life. "More of the same" seems to be the last, blind principle of a world that no longer has any. Recently, one of the journalists who populate the Parisian newsrooms asked a somewhat honest scientist about the origin of SARS-CoV-2. He had to admit that the grotesque fable of the pangolin was increasingly losing ground to the hypothesis of tampering by a certain P4 laboratory. And the journalist asked him if "this might not bring water to the mill of conspiracy theorists". The problem with the truth, from now on, is that it gives reason to the conspirators. That's where we are. It was high time to launch a commission of experts to put an end to this heresy. And to restore censorship. When all reason deserts the public space, when deafness increases, when propaganda hardens its ferrule in order to force general communion, it is necessary to take the field. This is what the conspirator does. To start from his intuitions and to launch himself into research. To try to understand how we got here, and how to get out of this small rut of civilizational proportions. To find accomplices and to confront each other. Not to resign ourselves to the tautology of the existing. Not to fear or hope, but to serenely look for new weapons. The fulmination of all the powers against the conspirators proves enough how much reality resists them. The invention of propaganda by the Holy See (the Congregatio de propaganda fide or Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith) in 1622 did not do the Counter-Reformation any good in the long run. The discredit of the yelpers eventually absorbed their yelping. The conception of life that the engineers of this society have is obviously so flat, so flawed, so erroneous that they can only fail. They will only succeed in devastating the world a little more. That is why it is in our vital interest to drive them out without waiting for them to fail. So we did what any other conspiracy theorist would do: we did the research. This is what we report. If we dare to publish it, it is because we believe that we have reached several conclusions that can shed a harsh and truthful light on the times. We have plunged into the past to elucidate the new, when all the current events tended to lock us in the labyrinth of its eternal present. It was necessary to tell the other side of contemporary history. At the beginning, it was a question of not letting ourselves be imposed by the firepower and panic of the reigning propaganda. To get used to the new regime of things constitutes then the main danger, which contains that to become the parrot of it. To fear the epithet of The "conspiracy theory" is one of them. The debate is not between conspiracy and anti-conspiracy, but within conspiracy. Our disagreement with the defenders of the existing order is not about the interpretation of the world, but about the world itself. We don't want the world they are building - they can keep their scaffolding to themselves, by the way. It's not a matter of opinion; it's a matter of incompatibility. We do not write to convince. It is far too late for that. We write to arm our side in a war that is waged on bodies with souls as its focus - a war that is certainly not between a virus and "humanity" as the spectacular dramaturgy would have it. We have therefore tried to make the truth "manageable as a weapon", according to the Brecht's advice. We have spared ourselves the demonstrative style, the footnotes, the slow progression from hypothesis to conclusion. We have stuck to the pieces and the ammunition. Consistent conspiracism, which does not serve as an ornament to impotence, concludes with the necessity to conspire, because what is facing us seems determined to crush us. At no moment we will allow ourselves to pronounce on the use that each one can, in such a time, make of his freedom. We will limit ourselves to plasticizing the most cumbersome mental fetters. We don't pretend that a book is enough to get rid of powerlessness, but we also remember that a few good books found on our way have saved us a lot of servitude. The last two years have been trying. They have been trying for all sensitive people, and sensitive to logic. Everything seemed to be done to make us crazy. It has been important to some solid friendships that we could share what we felt and what we thought - our amazement and our revolt. We endured these last years together, week after week. The research followed logically. This book is anonymous because it belongs to no one; it belongs to the movement of social dissociation that is underway. It accompanies what will happen - in six months, in one year or in ten. It would have been suspicious, in addition to being imprudent, if it had authorized itself with a name or several. Or that he should serve any kind of glory. " The difference between a true thought and a lie consists in the fact that the lie logically requires a thinker and not the true thought. No one is needed to conceive the true thought. [...] The only thoughts for which a thinker is absolutely necessary are lies." (Wilfred R. Bion, Attention and Interpretation , 1970) The "war on the virus" is a war that is led to us 1. The coup of the world. 2. The conspiracy of the amputees. 3. Clarities of the terror. 1. It was a worldly move. An offensive of all the devils, without limits, lightning, lateral. A drone strike on the world situation, under the midday sun, as the good people of Earth were about to eat. The declaration without warning of a new underlying state of affairs, lame, but ready to enter the scene. One half of the world's population is over - aninstant suspensionof all habits, all certainties, all life. Then a bombardment, a carpet of bombs of every moment - psychological, semantic, computer and informational. And that has not stopped. Communication has always been about war . It was born in this context, it has never been used for anything else, especially in "peacetime". Its truth never lies in what it says, but in the operations it carries out, which are as legible as a secret in the middle of the face. Too bad for those who can't see it. A world that proclaims, throughout series, novels, television games, manuals of know-how, the eminence of duplicity and the charms of deception wants us to take its word for it. This seems preposterous. But the grotesque is only maintained by terror. From then on, it was only a question of intimidation. This has not stopped either. As the perverts only keep their empire by pushing their abuses further, this offensive can only believe itself to be victorious if it continues to advance. "Evil must be done all at once, so that those to whom it is done do not have time to savor it , " Machiavelli advised. In Colombia, the police went to execute opponents in their homes, directly, for the benefit of containment. In India, untouchable people are sprayed with bleach to make them "disinfect". In Sri Lanka, Muslims are forbidden to bury their dead "because of the coronavirus". And since there is no question of cremating them, they are suggested to bury them elsewhere. In Israel, it is the anti-terrorism department that tracks down "contact cases" and the Prime Minister calls the non-vaccinated "time bombs". In Australia, in mid-August 2021, a high-profile manhunt is launched by the police to find a "Covid fugitive", Anthony Karam, who is not at the address given for his 40s. He is also not quite white, not quite Anglo-Saxon, not quite Protestant. Finally, the police flush out the "enemy of health He 1is dragged in front of the cameras in a white suit, before being sent to prison in solitary confinement. He is dragged in front of the cameras in a white suit, before being sent to prison in isolation. In Italy, in response to the demonstrations against the green pass now required to work, the government has banned all demonstrations in city centers with the blessing of the trade union centres. People will be able to hold sit-ins in the suburbs, masked and one meter apart. In Hong Kong, Carrie Lam, the chief executive whose general revolt almost killed her, is taking 2019,revenge by organizing In the case of "ambushes" in working-class neighborhoods, the police cordon off the area and control everyone. In Singapore, after the Boston Dynamics robot dog that barked at passersby in May 2020 to respect the "social distance", it is now the Xavier robot that patrols the streets in pursuit of smokers, street vendors and those who dare to gather in more than five, health standard obliges. The French ministerial delegation "for security industries and the fight against cyber threats" is particularly interested in this experimentation. In France, in keeping with the local tradition of administrative inhumanity, we were forbidden to kiss our dying parents one last time before stuffing them, without care or ceremony, into body bags. No funerals. Pick up the ashes in two weeks. In the spring of 2020, an old friend - an old terrorist for sure - was spending the suspended time of confinement with some of her neighbors, reading poems of their taste, of their heart , from their respective windows . It wasn 't long before they received a letter from the condo association telling them to stop this scandal: to have a good time "while others die"! This world no longer holds back when it comes to spitting out its rage against everything that still dares to breathe - the young, the poor, the dancing, the carefree, the irregular. Everywhere, the oppression that was not admitted as political is now displayed as biopolitical. It is the reign of the realized statistic Everywhere, the rulers dream of China. They are the only ones to dream of it. All this terror is not serious. It is that of a finished world, but which does not want to finish. Which is only this empty will to last. Which is at the mercy of a burst of laughter too contagious. A world whose bankruptcy is exposed every day, between two advertisements for the company of the future and interstellar travel. The terror he deploys is the terror he feels. Shaky people have obviously decided to strike a blow. A big blow to restore their lost authority and declining margins. But nothing can sustainably restore the authority of media and governments, politics and culture, science and industry - of capital in all its forms: every authority burns and re-burns every summer in the planetary infernos. It drowns and is reborn in each unprecedented flood and each monsoon against the clock. It buries itself day after day under the torrent of lies that it has to utter in order to survive. Technology will offer no remedy for the damage of technology. This world will not be able to step over its own dead body. His big move is desperate The fact that it met with almost no resistance is proof enough of how much nothing holds anymore. 2. Of course, there is a prestige of terror. There is an aura of power, which hypnotizes. The first pipsqueak to come out of the Attali Commission that we put him as president, looks like a sphinx, and his inconsistency like maestria. Stalin himself, on the cover of the Times , is no1939, longer the beaten-to- death child with webbed feet and a deformed arm that he remains . On the other side, Allen Dulles, the man of the American secret service under eight presidents, the director of the CIA whose head Kennedy had and who in return had Kennedy's head, is suddenly no longer the clubfoot he was as a child when he chased women. This is true for the least "chief", of a construction site or of a cabinet. The social hierarchy is that of mystification. It is also, consequently, that of sensitive amputation. For mystification to be king, blindness must be king. Not a second of this world would be possible, if one could exist in it and see what Kafka saw in it. " We all live as if we were despots. That makes us beggars. [... ] The anguish of death is only the result of a life that is not fulfilled. It is the expression of a betrayal. [...] These great political meetings are on the level of the Café du Commerce. People talk a lot and very loudly, and this to say as little as possible. It is a deafening silence. The only thing in there that is true and interesting are the deals made behind the scenes, of which no one breathes a word." (Gustav Janouch, Conversations with Kafka , 1968) Since then, a century of devastation has sufficiently illustrated how right Kafka was in all things and almost alone. It is of the utmost importance that everyone keeps the access to what he nevertheless feels well barricaded. And we will be well inspired to support each other in this laudable propensity - which in no way forbids piloting one's existence according to the rumors that escape from the condemned basement. After all, amputation has never prevented the sensations coming from a phantom limb. The prevailing social order is more than ever this conjuration of amputees - an objective, structural, spontaneous, universal conjuration. A militancy of amputation runs even from the most obscure data scientists to Elon Musk. As if they absolutely had to spread their evil. An evil that comes from afar and whose evil breath could already be felt when, in 1933, the Chicago World's Fair entitled A Century of Progress adopted the slogan: "Science discovers, industry applies, man conforms." The raging impulse to trample on all sensibilities seems to form the secret engine of the technological acceleration underway. Financial speed and the desire to enslave are also part of it. Just listen to Lin Junyue, the Chinese theorist of the Sesame social credit system, when he explains that "if you had the social credit system, you would never have had the Yellow Vests". Just listen to Mark Zuckerberg, or Yuval Harari, or Bill Gates. Through them, it is the social imperative of deformity that the media slam celebrates. They are said to be brilliant, visionary, daring, but above all intelligent . Their success attests to this. But no: they are only clever . In fact, all their success has consisted in passing off their malignity as intelligence. It is too much to give them credit to paint them as new Satans, except to recognize that what characterizes the Devil is nothing fascinating: a banal disgrace, a simple deprivation of being. What gives them airs of extraterrestrials does not come from a superiority, but from an intimate defect. If they have to "increase the human being", it is because they know him only as an amputee, and to make this amputation final If they activate themselves so much, it is because they believe their lack thus unsuspected, and in order to turn it into power . The emptiness that they have in their heart makes them insatiable. Nothing can give them the feeling of being really alive. Hence their obsession to rule the lives of others. They are insecure over-achievers , over-achievers who don't know where they stand. live - and one because of the other. They concede it willingly, in private. In this, their malignity has developed to the extent of their lack. All their obsession with the brain, cognition and neurons can do nothing about it: intelligence has its seat in the heart - this has always been known. Intelligence passes through the brain, as it passes through the belly, but its home is the heart. For the heart is the seat of participation in the world, of the disposition to be affected by it and to affect it in return. Their rage to destroy the world under the pretext of rebuilding it from top to bottom comes from there: from the amputation they have in their heart. It is not enough for them to have monopolized all wealth, they must also be revolted by the carelessness of those they have dispossessed. Their resentment towards the poor is infinite. That the poor still dare to live, to meet and even to feast is enough to spoil their possession of the world. It is not enough that they have surrounded themselves with personal security services: they still panic inwardly about an ever possible collapse - how will they, then, guard against their guards? Their dreams are only a long string of worst-case scenarios . They live in terror of their own crimes. They will never forgive us for what they did to us. As an exorcism, they multiply data for good projects and tech for good summits. They want to believe that they are there "for the good" and "for good", these wretches. If they did, they wouldn't have to display it like that - it would be obvious. At this point, it would be foolish to ask whether they are conspiring, the 1% who hold %48 of the world's wealth, who attend the same type of schools, places and people everywhere, who read the same newspapers, succumb to the same fashions, bathe in the same discourses and in the same sense of their hereditary superiority Of course they breathe the same air.
