Everything we've been told about the coronavirus 'pandemic' over the last three years has been a lie. Nothing we have been told is true. Whether we did or do choose to believe it is not a question of opinion, or what we call 'our' politics, or even of our trust in authority. Those in authority in our society, as in every other across the world and throughout history, didn't get there by telling the truth: they got there by lying. If we chose to believe them - and as a 'people' the British did so in overwhelming numbers - it was because we were scared, and our fear made us stupid, it made us compliant, it made us weak, it made us turn to the liars in authority and ask them to tell us what to do - worse, to demand that they tell us what to do, and not only us but everybody else too. No-one who wanted to could not have failed to realise, very early on, that we were being lied to. There were and are no grey areas between what was and wasn't true. The truth was and still is there for anyone who wants to find it. The lies were and are easier to listen to, for they are everywhere, in every mouth, across every screen, loud and stupid and unbelievable except by an act of will - not to truth but to believe easy lies. But the difficult truth is that only cowards believed them, that only cowards can possibly choose to continue to believe them after three years of unrelenting and universal lying. It is on this collective cowardice, and on the acceptance and repetition of lies to the point that they are now enforced by the authorities as truth, even when secretly scarcely anyone still believes them, that the 'New Normal' has been constructed. And the unpleasant truth is that this tells us something about where we are, in the UK, as a society and perhaps, in the West, as a civilisation, as well as about the terrible place we are heading. Collected in two volumes, Virtue and Terror and The New Normal, these articles are for the unafraid, for those trying to find their courage, for those looking for the truth, for those who want to expose the lies to others, and for those looking for a way to fight back.

Originally appearing between April 2020 and October 2021, these articles are a record of how, with the collaboration of a terrorised and virtuous public, a threat to public health that never existed was turned into a 'crisis', and on the justification of combatting it the 'vaccination' programme was implemented, laying the foundations for the UK biosecurity state of today. Collected in two volumes, Virtue and Terror and The New Normal, their publication marks the third anniversary since the 'pandemic' was officially declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020. But they also serve a more immediate purpose. As evidence of the immense damage of both lockdown and the 'vaccines' to the UK population has become too overwhelming for all but the COVID-faithful to ignore, those who called loudest for their enforcement - politicians, journalists and doctors - have claimed not only that they did not know what the consequences would be but that nobody else knew either, and have made plaintive appeals for an 'amnesty' between the ruined, traumatised, injured and bereaved and those responsible for their suffering and loss. The data and analysis contained in these articles is a reminder that those who took the time to look knew almost from the start that the coronavirus 'crisis' was manufactured, that closing down the economy for two years would impoverish millions, that printing hundreds of billions of pounds to save it would lead to rampant inflation, that withdrawing medical diagnosis, care and treatment for two years would cause the deaths of tens of thousands of UK citizens, and that injecting experimental gene therapies into a terrorised public would kill thousands, injure millions, and have still unknown consequences for the health and lives of the British people. If the guilty are now protesting their ignorance, they are doing so to absolve themselves of responsibility for what they collaborated in doing, to deny culpability for the damage and deaths, and to avoid retribution from a public coming to the realisation that we have been the object of a campaign of impoverishment and genocide being waged against us by the UK state and its global partners. These volumes hold them to account.

With the lifting of the thousands of regulations by which our lives were ruled for two long years there has been an understandable desire to believe that the coronavirus 'crisis' is over and we will return to something like an albeit new normal. But as new crises have sprung up to take its place - war in the Ukraine, the so-called 'cost of living crisis' and the return of the environmental crisis - it's increasingly difficult not to look back on 'lockdown' as the first campaign in a war that has not been declared by any government but is no less real for that. The willingness of our governments to use the forces of the state against their own populations on the justification of protecting us from ourselves signals a new level of authoritarianism - and something like the return of fascism - to the governmental, juridical and cultural forms of the formerly neoliberal democracies of the West, and one of the aims of this book is to examine the validity of this thesis. Its purpose in doing so, however, is not to contribute to an academic debate about the meaning of the term 'fascism', but rather to interrogate how and why the general and widespread moral collapse in the West over the past two-and-a-half years has been effected with such rapidity and ease, and to examine to what ends that collapse is being used. The more deliberate is the immiseration of the populations of Western democracies, the clearer it becomes that the war started by COVID-19 is not between nation states but a civil war waged against our institutions of democratic governance and the division of powers between executive, legislature and judiciary. Insofar as these institutions and this division are being dismantled and replaced by the rule of international technocracies that, under the cloak of the 'pandemic', have assumed increasing power over our lives since March 2020, this war represents a revolution in Western capitalism from the neoliberalism under which we have lived for the past forty years. Where it is heading with ever greater speed and finality, and which The Road to Fascism sets out to demonstrate, is the new totalitarianism of the Global Biosecurity State.
