"Recently I ordered a copy of Naomi Wolf’s The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, COVID-19 and the War Against the Human, and began the book the day it arrived.
"Like you who are reading my words, I lived through the lockdowns, the masks, the school and church closures, and all the rest of it. Nonetheless, The Bodies of Others is an eye-opener about the freedoms squashed or stolen from us during the pandemic. It is a blistering j’accuse of the politicians, corporations, tech companies, and international elites whose policies wreaked havoc and damage on societies around the world while often enriching themselves at the expense of the poor and the middle class.
"Interspersed in this account are Wolf’s personal experiences during those months when God-given freedoms like the right to assemble and the right to worship were gutted, often with little outcry from a cowed citizenry. On several occasions, she takes us into the enclaves of the people who made and supported these decisions, the wealthy and the powerful, and shows us firsthand the contempt they feel toward the average person.
"It’s also a powerful analysis of ways this ordeal of fear was inflicted on our country: the propaganda, the threats, the deliberately manufactured divisions between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed, the misinformation and outright lies put out by the government and the legacy media.". . .
