Neil Oliver: 'The Real Pandemic Is Distrust in Governments and Institutions'

Neil Oliver: "There's a pandemic out there alright, and it's a pandemic of distrust."

"The symptoms include... mounting scepticism, and a tendency to assume that an official whose lips are moving in front of a microphone is surely lying, or at least doing no more than push propaganda concocted by the state."

"Governments—bad actors within and around it, serving the institutions—are responsible for this destruction of the popular trust."

"Whatever happens from this point, whatever threat, real or imagined... fewer and fewer people will expect to hear anything worth hearing from government, or from the mainstream media, and from the institutions of state."

"Scepticism and suspicion, distrust of authority, has moved from pandemic to endemic, in that the new state of affairs has taken root in the thinking of millions."

"That more and more people want nothing whatever to do with authority, well, those authorities have only themselves to blame."
