    Also remember that economical collapse is always a possibility to those who have cash... just follow who now makes huge profits.

    Another thing going on in the UK that is puzzling me. Why are we clapping the NHS? It is right and just to applaud NHS workers, but that is not the same thing. Virtually everyone has reason to thank good nurses, doctors and paramedics. But if we are to praise large organisations for how effectively they have dealt with the coronavirus crisis, we should be clapping vigorously for retailers like Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Waitrose and Morrisons, who have responded nimbly to sudden extra demand for one of life’s basics – food. We should give only rather tepid applause for the efforts of the NHS to look after another of life’s basics – health.

    As its name suggests, the National Health Service is there to serve the health of the nation. In this crisis, the roles have reversed – it is seen as the duty of the nation to serve the NHS. "Protect the NHS. Save lives", says the slogan, in that rather surprising order. Children are made to recite it like a prayer. How are we to do this?

    We are told (ordered?) that we must help the NHS by avoiding hospitals and surgeries. The Government’s policy of lockdown is in significant part dictated by the demands not of patients, but of the NHS, and by its lack of adaptability and readiness.
    I do agree with much of your sentiment here. I've shared this before with friends and I'll say something similar here; this is a really cynical use of the NHS to maximise emotional effect - classic PR.

    'Protect the NHS' as a part of this PR babble sticks in the craw as it may be a way of using a kind of doublespeak for:
    "We need it [NHS] to appear to be in the very best condition possible, despite years of wilfully and deliberately under funding it, so that it appeals to the highest bidder, when we sell it off."
    (something along those lines).

    So, definitely not 'protected' in the way the message or narrative is perceived generally. (Perception management, in other words.)

    The repetitive mantra - the entire script - was drafted before, with plenty of knowledge aforethought.

    This whole PR exercise reeks of (and clearly is) a kind of military psy-op, approved by the Admiralty and filtered down through the SPADs in Whitehall. (For more on how propagandists really control governments, see L. Fletcher Prouty and his first-hand testimonies in "The Secret Team").

    The MO remains unchanged.

    The Johnson and Johnson situation is real; in fact, their research began at Harvard Medical School in January.

    The vaccine candidate is based on a non-replicating Ad-26 common cold virus, tested on mice, soon on monkeys.

    According to Forbes, it is the largest such coronavirus deal ever, right on the heels of some $150 million "anti-viral" investment.

    The deal was signed with the Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR)...the $456 million award related to a collaboration with ASPR’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), as announced in February. That work was built on previous contracts for developing countermeasures for other influenzas.

    This is in tandem with prior vaccine projects for Ebola, AIDS, etc., so it certainly reinforces the regime of injections. Superficially, it looks kind of normal, but J & J's backlog of lawsuits does not build much confidence. There are other vaccine developments in China and England, at least, so this benefit may be limited to how much the American public will be scared or legally forced into taking it. Whether alternate treatments like vitamins C and D, silver, oregano, etc., receive equal promotion, seems unlikely.

    MOD note - edited only to include a link to the published article. I first wondered whether Kryztian had written a genius spoof piece in the style of Kissinger, but, alas, no. This is actually real. Read it and weep, if you're that way inclined; if you already are aware and have been for some time, read it and be impressed by its candour. Tintin Q

    The Coronavirus Pandemic Will Forever Alter the World Order
    The U.S. must protect its citizens from disease while starting the urgent work of planning for a new epoch.


    Source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-cor...er-11585953005

    Apr 3, 2020

    By Henry A. Kissinger | The Wall Street Journal

    The surreal atmosphere of the Covid-19 pandemic calls to mind how I felt as a young man in the 84th Infantry Division during the Battle of the Bulge. Now, as in late 1944, there is a sense of inchoate danger, aimed not at any particular person, but striking randomly and with devastation. But there is an important difference between that faraway time and ours. American endurance then was fortified by an ultimate national purpose. Now, in a divided country, efficient and farsighted government is necessary to overcome obstacles unprecedented in magnitude and global scope. Sustaining the public trust is crucial to social solidarity, to the relation of societies with each other, and to international peace and stability.

    Nations cohere and flourish on the belief that their institutions can foresee calamity, arrest its impact and restore stability. When the Covid-19 pandemic is over, many countries’ institutions will be perceived as having failed. Whether this judgment is objectively fair is irrelevant. The reality is the world will never be the same after the coronavirus. To argue now about the past only makes it harder to do what has to be done.

    The coronavirus has struck with unprecedented scale and ferocity. Its spread is exponential: U.S. cases are doubling every fifth day. At this writing, there is no cure. Medical supplies are insufficient to cope with the widening waves of cases. Intensive-care units are on the verge, and beyond, of being overwhelmed. Testing is inadequate to the task of identifying the extent of infection, much less reversing its spread. A successful vaccine could be 12 to 18 months away.

    The U.S. administration has done a solid job in avoiding immediate catastrophe. The ultimate test will be whether the virus’s spread can be arrested and then reversed in a manner and at a scale that maintains public confidence in Americans’ ability to govern themselves. The crisis effort, however vast and necessary, must not crowd out the urgent task of launching a parallel enterprise for the transition to the post-coronavirus order.

    Leaders are dealing with the crisis on a largely national basis, but the virus’s society-dissolving effects do not recognize borders. While the assault on human health will—hopefully—be temporary, the political and economic upheaval it has unleashed could last for generations. No country, not even the U.S., can in a purely national effort overcome the virus. Addressing the necessities of the moment must ultimately be coupled with a global collaborative vision and program. If we cannot do both in tandem, we will face the worst of each.

    Drawing lessons from the development of the Marshall Plan and the Manhattan Project, the U.S. is obliged to undertake a major effort in three domains. First, shore up global resilience to infectious disease. Triumphs of medical science like the polio vaccine and the eradication of smallpox, or the emerging statistical-technical marvel of medical diagnosis through artificial intelligence, have lulled us into a dangerous complacency. We need to develop new techniques and technologies for infection control and commensurate vaccines across large populations. Cities, states and regions must consistently prepare to protect their people from pandemics through stockpiling, cooperative planning and exploration at the frontiers of science.

    Second, strive to heal the wounds to the world economy. Global leaders have learned important lessons from the 2008 financial crisis. The current economic crisis is more complex: The contraction unleashed by the coronavirus is, in its speed and global scale, unlike anything ever known in history. And necessary public-health measures such as social distancing and closing schools and businesses are contributing to the economic pain. Programs should also seek to ameliorate the effects of impending chaos on the world’s most vulnerable populations.

    Third, safeguard the principles of the liberal world order. The founding legend of modern government is a walled city protected by powerful rulers, sometimes despotic, other times benevolent, yet always strong enough to protect the people from an external enemy. Enlightenment thinkers reframed this concept, arguing that the purpose of the legitimate state is to provide for the fundamental needs of the people: security, order, economic well-being, and justice. Individuals cannot secure these things on their own. The pandemic has prompted an anachronism, a revival of the walled city in an age when prosperity depends on global trade and movement of people.

    The world’s democracies need to defend and sustain their Enlightenment values. A global retreat from balancing power with legitimacy will cause the social contract to disintegrate both domestically and internationally. Yet this millennial issue of legitimacy and power cannot be settled simultaneously with the effort to overcome the Covid-19 plague. Restraint is necessary on all sides—in both domestic politics and international diplomacy. Priorities must be established.

    We went on from the Battle of the Bulge into a world of growing prosperity and enhanced human dignity. Now, we live an epochal period. The historic challenge for leaders is to manage the crisis while building the future. Failure could set the world on fire.

    One of the first public reactions was the dumping of U. S. stocks, with most of that money going home with foreign investors. I can't recall the numbers, but it was a really big chunk.

    March shows a record $109 billion selloff of U. S. Treasuries by foreign banks.

    Black Rock appears to be the beneficiary, as the manager of the new federal slush fund:

    Wall Street has turned the Fed into a hedge fund. The Fed is going to own at least two thirds of all U.S. Treasury bills wallowing in the market before the end of the year.

    The U.S. Treasury will be buying every security and loan in sight while the Fed will be the banker – financing the whole scheme.

    So essentially this is a Fed/ Treasury merger. A behemoth dispensing loads of helicopter money – with BlackRock as the undisputable winner.


    Normally, we get new Fed dollars by Treasuries: in other words, by a bond that promises to repay with interest, so it is hardly an even exchange. This Fed and the Black Rock are private and unelected. Nothing new, business as usual for them.

    $350 billion of loans for small businesses saw the interest rate doubled, since small banks said they could not afford to lend that cheaply. Although the loan can be "forgiven"--i. e. the account is simply erased because the bank that did the loan put up nothing of their own and had no risk--they can only take a loss if you are trying to pay. It looks like if you spend the loan in eight weeks with at least 75% for approved expenses, then:

    the Small Business Administration will forgive the portion of the loan proceeds that are used to cover the first eight weeks of payroll costs, rent, utilities, and mortgage interest.

    There are at least 30 million businesses in this category (generally less than 500 employees). If there are that many, they cannot get much more than $10,000 out of this.

    Dept. of Commerce says:

    nearly a quarter of all small businesses had already shuttered in response to the pandemic, with another quarter less than two months away from insolvency.

    But because

    Small Business Administration rules calculate the aggregate number of employees for an enterprise seeking aid — meaning not just the individual small business but also other businesses in an investment firm's portfolio.

    the richest firms are lobbying their way into a share of the loans.

    The Fed itself has mushroomed to over $5 trillion in assets.

    One of the first products to fly off the shelves, milk is now being destroyed at the source.

    From CA FItts Solari Report site. The video is only about 20 minutes and I was wishing it was longer!

    Quote "[The Rockefellers] have a great deal of power. But I believe that the generic Nazis I spoke of earlier—and I don't know any names—have taken over. They are the technocrats of the future. I found that some of these people actually believe their own fabrications. I was spinning yarn, making connections, and influencing perception. But once in a while I would run into a creature that truly believed that…you know what I mean. They are dangerous if anyone is dangerous. They want to take over the brain in a very precise way and, as one of my favorite philosophers Krishnamurti used to say, 'We each need to become aware soon, we need to find our own unfiltered awareness, we need to discover what our own unique perception is, because in the next century they are going to do wholesale experiments on the brain, and then…things will be more difficult.'" ~ Ellis Medavoy to Jon Rappoport, The Medavoy Interviews



    Cui Bono? Who Benefits?

    By Catherine Austin Fitts

    Shock doctrine is upon us.

    The economy in much of the developed world is being shut down by order of national governments. Borders are closing. People are quarantined and ordered to work or go to school from home. The explanations are bizarre, the facts hard to discern. We are told there is a coronavirus pandemic that started in Wuhan, China, spread to Iran and Italy, and then continued throughout the developed world. To date, the death toll is less than the annual flu.

    When millions of people who are living paycheck to paycheck are laid off with no source of income, and hundreds of thousands of small businesses and cultural and sports events are bankrupted, there are plenty of reasons for panic in addition to reports of illness spreading across the globe. The lines at gun stores have never been this long.

    Efforts to keep people from gathering and communicating—other than through highly surveilled online means—are suspicious. The Fed has injected $5+ trillion into the repo market, announced a new round of bond and mortgage-backed securities buying, and offered lines of credit to primary dealers, prompting the Wall Street Journal to announce this week, "Well, so much for timidity at the Federal Reserve." The U.S. and other governments are authorizing billions in emergency spending, while lobbyists are pushing for the end of bank reserve requirements and an escalation of war in the Middle East.

    What is happening and why? I discussed this extensively last week on Money & Markets. However, I wanted to compare notes with Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, who agreed to join me for an in-depth discussion and some "high-octane speculation" regarding the dramatic changes underway.

    Cui Bono? Who Benefits? Join us this week, as Joseph and I sleuth out what may really be going on and where all of this may lead.

    In Let's Go to the Movies, I will review Maiden, an inspiring documentary about Tracy Edwards and the first all-female crew to compete in the Whitbread Round the World Race, a grueling yachting competition that covers 33,000 miles and lasts nine months. The story is an excellent reminder that real prosperity comes from the inspiration, hard work, and determination of individuals, caring families, and real teamwork. If you want a healthy economy, nurture and support strong individuals, rather than building more "things."

    A million galaxies are a little foam on that shoreless sea. ~ Rumi

    The immune system is our main protection against colds and flues, it needs upgrading by being exposed to the latest infection.
    No one wants to go through the misery of any virus but its natures way of strengthening us in preparation for the next bug.
    So those who have caught this current virus are not lepers, many have survived this and will therefore be all the more immune from the next episode --when ever that comes.
    Loads of people are immune to the current virus -- look at the numbers checked who are negative.

    All the Draconian measures are designed to promote what?
    What exactly is the agenda?
    You tell me.

    Lieber was arrested in mid-January 2020. This is older news, but it may be important. The press release of Lieber’s arrest is from Jan. 2020 also. Nothing in the video proves the so-called virus originated in the USA. But it raises suspicions about who is involved, but with what?
    Thanks Satori I had a niggling feeling it was older news and appears to have been recorded on the Global reports, news and updates thread.

    Yes, I was almost tempted to delete it from here completely, but, the detail in there may become important enough to refer to at a later date. I appreciate the confirmation from you though and guess it's alright to keep it 'live' on the thread, for now.

    Thanks for posting this again (it was originally posted here in the now closed thread).

    It's definitely worth a watch and an important piece of the puzzle. The fact that the creator has recently lived in China (and was basically forced out due to the ever-increasing government clamp-downs) and can read and speak Mandarin makes me pay even more attention.

    Just a reminder, if the agenda is still supposed to be population control, then it is an unmitigated disaster. We are very close to the magic number of 7 777 777 777 – on 15th April by my reckoning.
    There is an extra seven just while I have been writing this. Just watch these numbers ticking over, births over twice as fast as deaths. If you are a computer geek like Mr Gates, then these figures are a nightmare. For a man worth 99 billion and counting, you wonder what the problem is. The solution is not going to be making a few dodgy vaccines.

    Top Doctor EXPOSES EVERYTHING The Deep State Is Trying To Hide About CV

    Dr. Shiva Ayadurai, the inventor of email and candidate for the senate in Massachusetts, talks about the Sustainable Development Goals, signed off by the United Nations, called SDG-3 in 2015.

    Based on the ignorance of Medical Doctors on the immune system and nutrition, the UN planned to use the corona virus as a hidden enemy to scare the hell out of people in order to mandate vaccinations for the “common good.”

    One could imagine oneself why the pandemic started in Wuhan, at a time when there were heavy protests against the pollution.

    Shiva explains how politicians tend to support the big companies by regulations that don’t serve anyone but those companies and why they also support mandating vaccines.

    How the “cashless society” is being used for top-down ruling, monitoring, and even controlling expenditure. And where 5G comes in.

    Although his way of talking is showing the sincere authentic personality of Shiva, this edited version of the original video is meant to make this video more understandable and available, for example by cutting out the many “okay’s” Shiva tends to use and the many elaborations.

    Another powerful piece by Abby indeed. Dovetails nicely in current time with journalistic colleague Max Blumenthal's book "The Management of Savegery":

    Quote Description

    The rise of international jihad and Western ultra-nationalism

    In the Management of Savagery, Max Blumenthal excavates the real story behind America’s dealings with the world and shows how the extremist forces that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable flowering of America’s imperial designs.

    Washington’s secret funding of the mujahedin provoked the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. With guns and money, the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including Osama Bin Laden, who have become its enemies. The Pentagon has trained and armed jihadist elements in Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya; it has launched military interventions to change regimes in the Middle East. In doing so, it created fertile ground for the Islamic State and brought foreign conflicts home to American soil.

    These failed wars abroad have made the United States more vulnerable to both terrorism as well as native ultra-nationalism. The Trump presidency is the inevitable consequence of neoconservative imperialism in the post–Cold War age. Trump’s dealings in the Middle East are likely only to exacerbate the situation.

    The Medically Induced Police State
    By Donald Jeffries
    Keeping It Unreal
    April 3, 2020

    Donald Jeffries is the author of the best seller "Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics," and Survival of the Richest. Long time JFK assassination researcher, his latest book is "Crimes and Cover Ups in American Politics: 1776-1963," which features a Foreword by Ron Paul.

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/03/...rus-hobgoblin/

    "I have long feared a police state. Not the figurative one we’ve been letting develop for years now. I mean a literal one. Where they can stop you for any reason and ask you for your “papers.” Where they can restrict your movements, and your associations. Where they can confine you to your homes.

    Yesterday, this became an unfortunate reality for me and all other Virginians. Mayor Ralph “Blackface” Northam signed an Executive Order that essentially locks my state down. Police can stop any motorist and ask where they are going. If they aren’t going to a doctor or the store, they can be charged with a misdemeanor. For now. And those essential personnel who are still working have been given papers. Yes, “show me your papers” is finally here in the land of the free.

    Over the course of just a few weeks, America and most of the world has been subjected to a power play that rivals anything that George Orwell could have dreamed up. Whole countries locked down. People quarantined who have no illness. People restricted to their houses. “Social distancing” mandating that people stay six feet apart from one another. The closing down of virtually all businesses. No more going to the movies, or restaurants, or casinos, or concerts. Professional sports leagues and even the NCAA’s lucrative March Madness basketball tournament have been cancelled. All schools have been closed indefinitely.

    So, surely all these draconian, unprecedented moves indicate that something really dangerous is going on? Instead, the world has basically come to a standstill over a virus strain, which has not even conclusively been proven to exist, that has killed a fraction of what the common flu kills every year, in this country and around the world.

    The Coronavirus has been around for decades. Just look at the back of your can of Lysol. It informs you that their product protects you from “Human Coronavirus,” among other things. Many of us strongly suspect that cases of simple Coronavirus have been lumped in with those purporting to be COVID-19, the dastardly strain in question, which all the best and brightest “experts” inform us could spread across the world like wildfire.

    The primary source for all the fear porn which has been emanating from our putrid state-run media for weeks, came from United Kingdom epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who issued a dire warning that 2.2 million could die from COVID-19 in the United States alone. Without quite the attention given his initial predictions by the hysterical media, Ferguson quietly acknowledged last week that his numbers were wrong. Very, very wrong. His weak admission that perhaps 20,000 could die was not very convincing. And a pair of Stanford professors of medicine followed that up by saying the predictions of fatalities “may be too high by orders of magnitude.”

    Instead of responding reasonably to these indications that those who initiated the alarmist talk from our journalists and politicians were utterly wrong, our leaders have doubled down on the heavy-handed, unwarranted response. More states like mine have gone into lock down mode. It is akin to Martial Law, without any visible troops in the streets. Given the lack of opposition to this authoritarianism, they haven’t needed any. Without firing a shot, as the saying goes.

    Citizen journalists have posted a myriad of videos on You Tube, which depict not the “overwhelmed” hospitals that are literally bursting at the seams with corpses, but instead largely empty facilities. Jason Goodman has been filming around hospitals in New York City, the alleged epicenter of the alleged epidemic, and it has to be seen to be believed. Idle ambulances everywhere. Disinterested EMT workers and hospital employees. Many, if not most of them not wearing masks. Police harassing him from filming on a public street. I have a friend who lives in New York City, and he just called me this morning to report how non-busy the biggest hospital in Brooklyn looked. Something very strange is going on here.

    Meanwhile, Dr. Colleen Smith, a doctor who specializes in “medical simulation,” whatever that is, violated every HIPAA regulation imaginable when she filmed inside an ICU at New York City’s Elmhurst Hospital. Dr. Smith complained about a lack of equipment and resources, the same establishment mantra we’ve heard time and time again from establishment sources, which is invariably blamed on hapless Donald Trump. Her video was published by the New York Times. The same day she was filming inside, Elmhurst Hospital was videotaped outside by a citizen journalist. You guessed it- it resembled a ghost town.

    As I’ve made clear to so many who are parroting the mainstream line, “people are dying!,” yes, people are dying. They do everyday. As Bob Dylan, also back in the news this week with a better late than never song about JFK assassination truth, once said, “he not busy being born is busy dying.” The question is, what are the people whose deaths the state-controlled media is fixated upon dying from? How many of these deaths are actually from underlying causes like diabetes or pneumonia, or less frightening strains of virus, like the regular flu or the generic Coronavirus?

    There are many disquieting indications that the wild overreaction to this is a hoax, even if the virus is not. The photograph of ominous rows of coffins supposedly emanating out of Italy, which has been allegedly hit so hard by COVID-19, which was proven to be from another country, taken years earlier. The Italian reports indicating that 99% of the fatalities attributed to this virus came from “other pathologies.” The story in early February out of China, that the Chinese were including deaths from pneumonia along with the scary COVID-19 cases. It is no exaggeration to say that, considering the draconian response, those in charge have a tremendous vested interest in significantly increasing the numbers.

    Both the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control were caught lying about the same thing in 2009; they falsely inflated the Swine Flu figures. Sharyl Attkisson lost her job with CBS for exposing the CDC. No investigative journalism is allowed in this country, outside of amateurs on the internet. The CDC and WHO are front and center here, along with our perpetually dishonest politicians and laughable, lapdog establishment press. They are the ones selling this narrative. Why would any intelligent person believe them?

    I have been lied to my entire life by the most powerful authority figures. I worked for the Medical Industrial Complex for 44 years, until being fired two years ago for helping a handicapped co-worker. You read that right. That’s the chance you take in a “right to work” state. It gives them a right to fire you for no reason. Our healthcare system is hopelessly inefficient and just as corrupt as any other part of America 2.0. The medical profession itself is the third leading cause of death in this country. When you enter a hospital, you take your life in your hands. So excuse me for not trusting in all the white coats issuing their dire pronouncements.

    In Virginia, our unofficial Martial Law is in effect until June 10. Just imagine how many businesses will never reopen after being closed for nearly three months. How many employees will be laid off, and be left to deal with the ever-increasing cost of living with their $1200 checks that constituted the trickle-down droppings from the $5.5 trillion dollar “stimulus” package, which Ron Paul called “a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the elite?” Picture the massive unemployment claims, somehow paid for by payroll taxes which are not going to be collected from all those unemployed workers who are no longer paying them.

    And we still haven’t heard a peep of protest from anyone with a large public platform. Not a single corporate leader whose dedication to capitalism compels him to protest the literal shutdown of almost all commerce. There is a stunning uniformity of opinion on this massive overhaul of our society, which happened in the blink of an eye. Only naysayers like me, with the voices we have on the internet, are pointing out how shockingly wrong all of this is.

    America, even as it existed in its watered-down, often embarrassing form a month ago, is forever gone. Once our leaders have demonstrated they can institute such authoritarian restrictions on the populace, with virtually no resistance, it is a certainty they will do it again. Expect to see the kind of ridiculous color-coded “terror threat” warnings we saw after 9/11. When the unquestioned authorities declare that we are at “code red” in terms of a new viral threat, America will just go back into lock down mode. Americans will be used to it.

    Helping to sell this narrative has been an astonishing number of celebrities. This virus evidently is predisposed to attack famous people who have shown unswerving devotion to the Deep State. It was entirely predictable that the likes of Tom Hanks, Greta Thunberg, Prince Charles, and Chris Cuomo would test positive. For the Coronavirus, as it is worded in all the celebrity cases, not for COVID-19. This could be the lazy, unintentional intermingling of a generic term for the deadly strain that has stopped the world. Or it could be an admission that technically they are telling the truth- the tests can only determine whether one has Coronavirus, not any particular strain of it.

    But there is a huge difference between the two terms; testing positive for the generic Coronavirus is no big deal. It could just be a common cold, or an indication someone is a carrier, with no symptoms at all. If everyone in past years had been frightened by fear porn into getting tested for any sniffle, who knows how many might have been positive? They have somehow convinced most of the public that this virus strain is potentially far more deadly than anything since the Bubonic Plague, despite numbers that remain a fraction of what we see every flu season. With even the most severe flu seasons, nothing has ever been closed or cancelled. Certainly there was never any kind of lock down.

    This has all been sold to the public on the basis of protecting us. After all, our leaders care about us. They have only our best interests at heart. And what is more terrifying to anyone than the state of their health? None of us want to put our loved ones’ lives in danger. And so we become even more compliant than normal.

    Benjamin Franklin wisely warned, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Considering the continuous fear porn coming from our leaders, few of us probably feel safe. And their totalitarian response to an invisible enemy should make all of us feel demonstrably less free.

    The Coronavirus Hobgoblin
    By Donald Jeffries
    Keeping It Unreal
    March 17, 2020

    Donald Jeffries is the author of the best seller "Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics," and Survival of the Richest. Long time JFK assassination researcher, his latest book is "Crimes and Cover Ups in American Politics: 1776-1963," which features a Foreword by Ron Paul.

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/03/...rus-hobgoblin/
    "The great H.L. Mencken, a classical liberal when such creatures still existed, once wrote, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.” I find myself repeating this quote more and more these days.

    America, and the rest of the world, is in the throes of a panic that has never been seen before, outside the fanciful scripts of Hollywood. A new “super” virus, the Coronavirus, is being hyped nonstop by our state-controlled media as the new bubonic plague. The fear porn emanating from our television sets is relentless.

    Attempting to urge calm, and discuss this subject rationally is very difficult. Hysterical shoppers have wiped the shelves clean in many stores. Toilet paper, for whatever reason, is being hoarded by nearly everyone. I have done what I can, with my own limited platform. I’ve had guests like the veteran medical fraud expert Jon Rappoport, and Dr. Steven Hotze, on my radio show “I Protest.” Most listeners, and most of my contacts on social media, seem to agree that this thing is being wildly over hyped. Some agree with my growing suspicion that it is, in fact, a hoax.

    Even establishment voices like Dr. Drew Pinsky and Dr. Oz are attempting to restore reason. Pinsky noted, “A bad flu season is 80,000 dead, we’ve got about 18,000 dead from influenza this year, we have a hundred from corona. Which should you be worried about influenza or Corona? A hundred versus 18,000? It’s not a trick question…What I have a problem with is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed that people’s lives are being upended, not by the virus, but by the panic. The panic must stop. And the press, they really somehow need to be held accountable because they are hurting people.


    Both Jon Rappoport and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg are asking the questions all of us should be asking. Exactly how was this particular strain of the Coronavirus- COVID-19, identified? Rappoport claims that “presumptive” cases of the virus are being lumped in together with actual cases. To say that any reported numbers are unreliable in such a scenario is to put it mildly. But it may be worse than that. Someone on Twitter claims to have talked with the CDC, who admitted there is no present test for COVID-19. If that remarkable claim is true, then exactly how are any people being diagnosed as having it? Is every case “presumptive?”

    Just in the last week, we’ve seen both the NBA and NHL suspend their seasons. The NCAA has cancelled March Madness, one of the most lucrative sporting events in the world. Businesses are closing. Virtually all events with large crowds have been cancelled. The CDC has recommended the banning of all gatherings with fifty or more people for eight weeks. So, if any revolutionaries out there were plotting to come together and don yellow jackets, it will have to be in groups of forty nine.

    Washington, D.C. bars and restaurants have decreed that patrons may not come within less than six feet of one another. This brilliant idea was gleaned from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who advised, “In general, when going outside try to stay at least 6 feet away from others as … If you can’t stay 6ft away from other people, it’s too close.” How such a ridiculous edict would be enforced wasn’t delineated by the good representative. Portable tape measures? What would be the penalties for breaching the six foot perimeter?

    In 2009, this country was hit hard with the Swine Flu. Barack Obama, universally praised for his response, did nothing until 4,000 Americans had already died, when he declared a National Emergency. The CDC claimed that 59 million Americans contracted the disease, 265,000 were hospitalized, and over 12,000 died. As of now, headlines trumpet that “US death toll rises to 62.” The numbers don’t justify the reaction we’ve seen on the part of our leaders. Or the people. They don’t even seem to qualify this “super” virus as a pandemic.

    In fact, the wonder is that they keep trotting out these numbers, which pale in comparison to deaths from the regular flu every year, and continue to receive the same panicked response on the part of the public. At what point do Americans start to question this? Why is the country being basically shut down over something that doesn’t appear nearly as dangerous as the normal, non “super” flu? If they are ordered to remain in their houses, how many Americans would protest?

    These stringent measures are inconsistent and defy common sense. What is the difference between large crowds attending a ball game or a concert, and large crowds in stores and shopping malls? Not to mention the economic cost to all those businesses. The stock market is crashing, and is not responding as it normally does to seemingly good news like oil price drops and interest rate cuts. The conclusion is inescapable that the usual diabolical suspects are manipulating the buying and selling to eventually swoop in and devour the carcasses.

    The rabbit hole here, as always, goes very deep. Bill Gates, representing the soulless eugenicists who have been running our world for a very long time, breathlessly fantasized about 33 million dying from this pandemic. His choice of the number 33 was not lost upon those in the conspiratorial world, who understand its significance in masonic and occult circles. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, quarantined in Italy, solemnly warned that “America must act now- and act big.” Exactly how much “bigger” our leaders could react to a “pandemic” that has killed less than 100 people is something for the unwashed masses to ponder.

    Then there is the constant drumbeat in response to the low numbers thus far, that this “super” virus cannot be stopped, and that things will get worse. Much worse. Media outlets, who have irresponsibly revved up the fear, have the audacity to run articles with headlines like, “5 Reasons Coronavirus is Way Worse Than You’ve Been Led to Believe.” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci declared, “things will get worse than they are right now. ” Based on the progression thus far, these sentiments simply aren’t justified. Are they talking about the virus, or the government’s crackdown, getting worse?

    We are told that this “super” virus is unimaginably contagious, which will lead to a frighteningly fast spread around the world. Donald Trump, a nearly 74 year old overweight man, was filmed shaking hands with a Brazilian official who had tested positive for the Coronavirus. It would be subsequently reported that Trump tested negative afterwards. Shouldn’t a “super” bug be able to infect a vulnerable target of Trump’s age rather easily?

    “Conspiracy theorists” are having fun online by asking people if they know anyone who has this deadly disease. So far, judging from the responses, it appears that the virus hasn’t struck anyone in the conspiracy world. Meanwhile, the wives of both Justin Trudeau and the prime minister of Spain have supposedly tested positive. And Tom “Oswald did it” Hanks, of all people, became the first celebrity to test positive. We can count on Tom to urge everyone to obey all orders.

    With the unprecedented reaction to what has thus far been far less dangerous than the common flu, we should be asking why? Exactly what is the reason for this? On the surface, it appears to be just another way to trample on what remains of our civil liberties, in the guise of fighting to keep us healthy. We know they don’t care about our health. They do care deeply about controlling us. If this is a trial run to see how Americans react to a Martial Law situation, our leaders must be thrilled.

    And Donald Trump is playing the part of the fall guy here, as he so often has since becoming president. While Obama did basically nothing in the face of the Swine Flu epidemic, Trump acted comparatively swiftly. When he declared a National Emergency after 40 deaths in America, and banned air travel to and from most European countries, the entire establishment blasted it as being too little, too late. Many of his enemies have called this virus “Trump’s Katrina.” For the record, whatever one thinks about Trump, he cannot be blamed for COVID-19.

    In fact, many Trump supporters believe the virus scare is merely another attempt to remove him from office, after the ridiculous “Russiagate” and impeachment charades failed. I don’t think this is being done merely to get rid of Trump, although that may happen. Will they cancel elections? After all, there are large crowds at the polls. Already, the Democrats have cancelled the Louisiana primary, sparing the hapless Bernie Sanders another chance to be cheated electorally.

    The entire countries of Italy and Spain have been closed off. Towns and communities all over the world are being quarantined. The overreaction on the part of the world is as historic as the overreaction here. Meanwhile, no one has explained why there appear to be few if any cases of the Coronavirus in Africa, India, or South America. Perhaps the heat? Well, what about Russia? Virtually nothing there, either. Did Vladimir Putin refuse to play ball, as he so often does?

    Pointing out that half the deaths in America came from the same nursing home, and that those who have died have largely been very elderly, with underlying conditions, has done little to assuage a terrified populace.

    Whatever this thing is, it isn’t a random but inexplicably powerful virus strain that our leaders are battling with selfless decency.
