After six
months of intermittent or in some cases near-continuous lockdowns, many
have reached their limit and uprisings are finally emerging around the
world
The last week
of August 2020 saw gatherings of tens of thousands of individuals in
Berlin, London and Dublin, protesting stay-at-home orders, business
closures, mask and vaccine mandates and Bill Gates’ dictatorial grip on
public health matters
According to
data released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
August 26, 2020, only 6% of the total COVID-19-related deaths in the
U.S. had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death on the death
certificate
A September 2,
2020, study found the overall noninstitutionalized infection fatality
ratio was 0.26%. Among those under the age of 40, the infection fatality
ratio is 0.01%, while those over 60 have an infection fatality ratio of
1.71%
The estimated
infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.8%, so the only
people for whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is more dangerous than influenza
are those over the age of 60. Everyone else has a lower risk of dying
from COVID-19 than they have of dying from the flu
After six months of intermittent or in
some cases near-continuous lockdowns, many have reached their limit and
uprisings are finally emerging around the world. The last week of
August 2020 saw gatherings of tens of thousands of individuals in
Berlin,1 London2 and Dublin,3 protesting stay-at-home orders, business closures, mask and vaccine mandates and Bill Gates’ dictatorial grip on public health matters.
In the U.S., a protest took place August 30, 2020, in Boston, Massachusetts, against a new student flu vaccination mandate,4 and in Virginia, protesters gathered September 2 in opposition of unconstitutional COVID-19 mandates.5
These are just a few of the many demonstrations that have taken
place in recent weeks around the world, as people are starting to
realize their human rights are being stripped away over a virus with a
lethality on par with that of seasonal influenza and other pandemic
viruses, none of which was responded to with a global shutdown of
economies and forced quarantining of healthy individuals.
COVID-19 — A Massive Brainwashing Scheme?
In recent weeks and months, more and more experts have come out
sharing what they know about the roles of Big Tech, Big Pharma and
global health organizations such as the World Health Organization in
the creation of a new technocratic world order.
If you missed my interview with financial analyst Patrick Wood,
in which he details the technocratic take-over plan, which has been in
play for decades, be sure to review it now. Other articles shedding
light on what’s happening behind the scenes include “Harvard Professor Exposes Google and Facebook,” featuring a documentary with professor Shoshana Zuboff, and “Plandemic Part 2.”
When you start to put all the puzzle pieces together, it seems clear
this pandemic is being used as a cover story for both a global wealth
redistribution scheme, and for the implementation of a technocratic
system of totalitarian rule by unelected leaders.
The WHO seems to be part and parcel of this global network. While
the U.S. has severed ties with the organization, Big Tech is still
promoting the WHO as a final arbiter of which views are acceptable and
which are not — medical expertise and scientific achievements be
damned.
As reported by Reclaim the Net,6
the WHO eavesdrops on everything you do online, from reviewing your
social media interactions to analyzing your emotions. To counteract
“spread of misleading information” about the pandemic — which was a key
area of focus during Event 201 — the WHO has partnered with an
analytics company that uses machine learning analysis to scan more than
1.6 million social media posts per week.
The aim of this “social listening approach”— a nicer term than good
old-fashioned spying — is to counteract anything that doesn’t align
with the WHO’s current narrative on illnesses, treatments,
interventions and causes of disease.
Aiding them in this dystopian censoring process is the United Nations, which has launched an army of 10,000 digital volunteers who troll the internet for “false” information and opposing views.
On top of that, most social media platforms have their own highly biased "fact-checkers"
who censor for all they’re worth. Back in April 2020, YouTube CEO
Susan Wojcicki, wife of Google product director Dennis Troper,
announced they would ban and remove any video from the platform that
contradicts the WHO.7
Countless examples of wanton censorship of perfectly valid medical
and scientific information across all social media platforms and Google
can be found at this point.
Just How Deadly Is COVID-19?
According to groundbreaking data8
recently released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, only 6% of the total COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S.
had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death on the death
certificate.
Six percent of 169,044 (the total death toll as of September 2) is
10,143. “For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19,
on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death,”
the CDC states. As reported by Rochester First,9
the top underlying medical conditions included influenza, pneumonia,
respiratory failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, heart
problems and renal failure.
However, the list also includes 5,424 intentional and unintentional
injury and poisoning deaths, so basically, accidents and suicides in
which the individual just happened to test positive (or was suspected
of being positive for SARS-CoV-2) are also included in the grand total.
(Please note, these data were accurate as of this writing. The CDC
does not notate when data is altered as new death certificates come in,
so the numbers may therefore be different from what is reported here,
depending on when you’re looking at it. For the most up-to-date figures,
see the CDC’s website.10)
The fact that only 6% of COVID-19-related deaths are directly
attributable to SARS-CoV-2 is bad news when you’re trying to keep a
doomsday narrative going. In what appears to be a blatant attempt to
minimize exposure of these data, social media platforms have censored
many trying to share it.11
As noted by independent news commentator Tim Pool in the video
below, fact-checkers are digging into nitpicky semantics in their
effort to censor the CDC data, and in so doing, they’re really
stretching the “false” claim ultrathin.
Similar data have emerged from Palm Beach County, Florida, where an investigation by CBS 1212 I-Team revealed only 86 of the reported 658 COVID-19 deaths had “COVID-19 pneumonia” listed as the sole cause of death.
All others had multiple comorbidities, including diabetes,
cardiovascular diseases and dementia. As noted by CBS 12, “Most Palm
Beach County COVID deaths cannot be attributed to COVID alone.”
While Dr. Terry Adirim, senior associate dean at the Florida
Atlantic University College of Medicine, told the I-Team that “it makes
sense to count them [people with comorbid conditions] toward COVID
deaths because the virus may have made an otherwise nonfatal illness
like a heart condition deadly,” the converse argument can also be made.
Had it not been for them having one or more serious comorbidities,
the risk of the virus to these individuals would have been minuscule,
and if they got sick at all, they’d probably have survived. So,
ultimately, should the virus bear the brunt of the blame?
Infection Fatality Rate on Par With the Flu
Keeping the “killer virus” narrative going much longer is probably
going to become even more difficult in light of a September 2, 2020
article13 in Annals of Internal Medicine, which points out that:
“Because many cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are
asymptomatic, generalizable data on the true number of persons infected
are lacking, and that when calculating mortality rates from confirmed
cases, you end up overestimating the infection fatality ratio (IFR).”
The paper reads, in part:14
“To calculate a true infection fatality ratio, population
prevalence data are needed from large geographic areas where reliable
death data also exist … We combined prevalence estimates from a
statewide random sample with Indiana vital statistics data of confirmed
COVID-19 deaths.
In brief, our stratified random sample consisted of state
residents aged 12 years and older. Known decedents and incarcerated
persons were excluded. Because nursing homes were limiting residents'
ability to leave and re-enter the facilities, their participation was
unlikely.
Participants were tested from 25 April to 29 April 2020 for
active viral infection and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, which would indicate
prior infection … We calculated the IFR by age, race, sex, and
ethnicity on the basis of the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19
deaths as of 29 April 2020, divided by the number of infections.
Although nursing home residents were not tested, they
represented 54.9% of Indiana's deaths. Thus, we excluded nursing home
residents from all calculations (that is, deaths and infections).
To account for all infections, we added the number of patients
hospitalized with COVID-19 during the testing period and
noninstitutionalized COVID-19 deaths into the denominator …
Our random-sample study estimated 187 802 cumulative infections,
to which 180 hospitalizations were added. The average age among all
COVID-19 decedents was 76.9 years.
The overall noninstitutionalized infection fatality ratio was
0.26% … Persons younger than 40 years had an infection fatality ratio
of 0.01%; those aged 60 or older had an infection fatality ratio of
1.71%. Whites had an infection fatality ratio of 0.18%; non-Whites had
an infection fatality ratio of 0.59%.”
The estimated infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza listed
in this paper is 0.8%. So, the only people for whom SARS-CoV-2
infection is more dangerous than influenza is those over the age of 60.
All others have a lower risk of dying from COVID-19 than they have
of dying from the flu. Put another way, if you’re under the age of 60,
your chances of dying from the flu is greater than your chance of dying
from COVID-19.
White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx also
confirmed this far lower than typically reported mortality rate when
she, in mid-August 2020, stated that it “becomes more and more
difficult” to get people to comply with mask rules “when people start
to realize that 99% of us are going to be fine.”15
Expect Massive Propaganda Campaign to Boost Vaccine Uptake
With death rates being as low as they are for everyone under the age
of 60, it really weakens the rationale for vaccinating the entire
world, including newborns, the risk to whom the virus poses is
virtually nil.
The vaccine looking increasingly unnecessary is likely a reason for
why the U.S. government is planning to launch an “overwhelming”
COVID-19 vaccine campaign this fall, using carefully researched
messages. As detailed in “Health and Autonomy in the 21st Century,” Yale University has conducted a trial16
to determine the type of message that will maximize acceptance and
uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. Messaging slants evaluated in the
investigation included:17
Personal freedom message — A
message about how COVID-19 is limiting people's personal freedom and how
working together to get enough people vaccinated can preserve
society’s personal freedoms.
Economic freedom message — A
message about how COVID-19 is limiting people's economic freedom and
how, by working together to get enough people vaccinated, society can
preserve its economic freedom.
Self-interest message — A
message that COVID-19 presents a real danger to one's health, even if
one is young and healthy, with the idea being that getting
vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to prevent oneself from
getting sick.
Community interest message — A
message about the dangers of COVID-19 to the health of loved ones.
The idea to promote is that the more people who get vaccinated
against COVID-19, the lower the risk that one's loved ones will get
sick. The idea: Society must work together and all get vaccinated.
Economic benefit message — A
message about how COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the economy and the
only way to strengthen the economy is to work together to get enough
people vaccinated.
Guilt message — This message is
about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's
family and community, with the idea that the best way to protect them
is by getting vaccinated, and that society must work together to get
enough people vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine
the guilt they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the
disease.
Embarrassment message — This
message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of
one's family and community. The idea to promote is that the best way
to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to
make sure enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant
to imagine the embarrassment they will feel if they don't get
vaccinated and subsequently spread the disease.
Anger message — This message is
about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's
family and community. The sales idea is that the best way to protect
them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure
that enough people get vaccinated. It then asks the participant to
imagine the anger they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread
the disease.
Trust in science message — A
message about how getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most
effective way of protecting one's community. It promotes the idea
that vaccination is backed by science, and that anyone who doesn't
get vaccinated doesn't understand how infections are spread or who
ignores science.
Not bravery message — A message
which describes how firefighters, doctors and front line medical
workers are brave, and infers that those who choose not to get
vaccinated against COVID-19 are not brave.
The study, which was completed July 8, 2020, also sought to determine:
Participant’s confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine after hearing the message in question
Participant’s willingness to persuade others to get vaccinated
Their fear of those who have not been vaccinated
The social judgment of those who choose not to vaccinate
Prosocial Pressure Tactics Work Best
Harvard Business School in collaboration with the Sloan School of
Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have also published a
working paper18 comparing self-interested versus prosocial motivations for COVID-19 prevention behaviors.
Considering the messages we’ve been bombarded with over the past few
months — calling people who don’t wear masks “grandma killers” and so
on — it seems clear that results from these kinds of investigations
have been capitalized on.
In that paper, “Don’t Get It or Don’t Spread It?” the authors review
studies in which various types of messages were compared — messages
highlighting the threat to self, versus the threat you might pose to
others.
Overall, prosocial messages, i.e., messages that stress the
importance of complying with prevention behaviors in order to protect
others fared the best. According to the authors:19
“These results reveal that prosocial framing was more
effective than self-interested framing, suggesting a potential primacy
of prosocial motivations in supporting prevention intentions …
First, prosocial framing may have been relatively more effective
not because prosocial motivations do more to drive prevention
intentions, but rather because people believe that COVID-19 poses a
greater threat to society than to themselves.
Indeed, subjects in Studies 1-2 did on average report that coronavirus posed a larger public than personal threat.
However, we find that the advantage of the Public treatment
(relative to the Personal treatment) was not significantly moderated by
‘threat difference scores’ (i.e., differences between the reported
personal vs. public threat of coronavirus), or significantly smaller
among subjects who reported the personal threat of coronavirus to be as
large or larger than the public threat …
Thus, we find evidence that the relative effectiveness of the
Public treatment was not unique to subjects who saw COVID-19 as more
threatening to society than to themselves.
A second possibility is that prosocial framing (which encourages
people to avoid spreading coronavirus) was more effective than
self-interested framing (which encourages people to avoid getting
coronavirus) because people feel relatively more empowered to avoid
spreading the virus.”
Stop Believing in the Lockdown
A powerful essay20
in the American Institute for Economic Research asks the question: Is
the lockdown the best way to minimize casualties in this pandemic?
Using historical examples beginning with Voltaire’s words, “those
who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities,”
the author reasons that lockdowns are not going to save the world from
COVID-19, if for no other reason than whenever lockdowns are eased,
infections naturally start to creep back up.
However, the vast majority of these “infections” or “cases” are
asymptomatic. A rising “case” load does not mean people are actually
getting sick and dying. The misuse of the medical term “case” is an
egregious one, as historically, a “case” is defined as someone who has
symptoms of a particular disease — someone who is actually sick.
Never in medical history has a “case” meant someone who is perfectly
healthy and requires testing to determine whether they are infected
with a particular pathogen. Would you get tested for the common cold or
influenza if you had no symptoms? If the test happened to come back
positive, would you with a straight face say you “have” a cold or the
flu?
There are other myths, mostly scare tactics, that people are
willingly believing that need to be stopped now, too, the author
asserts — and it’s time to start questioning what is credulous and what
is not. I encourage you to read that essay in its totality.
The Fatal Attraction of Techno-Fascism
Another article21
well worth reading is Mark Petrakis’ “The Fatal Attraction of
Techno-Fascism.” This one also starts off with an excellent quote by
Cato the Elder: “Those who are serious in ridiculous matters will be
ridiculous in serious matters.” One of the first points he makes is that
fascism is attractive because:
“… it requires so little from us, so little independent thought; just
our basic belief and adherence to a limited set of popularly-shared
directives and narratives that once fully accepted, relieve us of the
need to address stubborn questions or to fret over subtle differences
of opinion and feeling.
Propaganda reassures us that we are complete, that we know all
there is to know, that we are rational, pragmatic and pure, that the
science has been settled and that we are a part of something special.”
Petrakis goes on to discuss why propaganda and disinformation is
required in order to maintain control in a fascist regime, and how
truth is a liability that must be disallowed and penalized. In the end,
the price we pay for this kind of intellectual laziness is
“soul-crushing denial and disconnection.”
No one who has been paying attention this past year in particular
can have missed that propaganda is in full swing, 24/7, and that both
truthful facts and personal opinions that run counter to the
established propaganda narrative are being censored and penalized in
equal measure.
When it comes to COVID-19, the propaganda is so pervasive and
widespread that it has actually shattered what Petrakis refers to as
“the grandest illusion of all” that “must be maintained at all costs,”
namely the appearance that the propaganda messages are randomly
generated.
“It must always appear that the media’s coverage and the comments of
experts are entirely free from any preconceived manipulation,” he
says. Today, there is little doubt that the narrative we see is
anything but free from bias. There’s little doubt that what we’re told
is “weaponized storytelling,” to quote Petrakis yet again.
“Looking at our world, we can see that the reach and authority
of the transnational global capitalists who run the world’s
nation-sized casinos has been cemented. All systems are now in place,
up and running LIVE on that criminal syndicate’s vast web of networks.
Each one of us has by now been targeted by them for some form of
surveillance and financialization …
The ‘A.I. control grids’ are all active and expanding. The technocratic agendas are now fully ready for prime-time.
We have been gradually ‘shepherded’ by propaganda and
psychological torture techniques … under the ‘persistent’ control of
A.I., which will guide the process of transmuting us into commodities,
into plunderable assets, into digitally-regulated and genetically
modified ‘livestock.’ Sadly, this is where decades of constant
acquiescence to propaganda and institutional hypnosis has brought us …”
Ultimately, the economic system known as technocracy is tailor-made for the transhumanist revolution — which I touch upon in “Will New COVID Vaccine Make You Transhuman?”
— where man is merged with technology and AI. As always, the lure will
be greater convenience, self-improvement and “a better world for all.”
What’s never mentioned is the ultimate price. The price for all of
it is complete subjugation to faceless leaders who profit from your
every move, and therefore will dictate all of them.
COVID-19 Rules Mark ‘Hysterical Slide Into Police State’
I’ll end this with some observations by British Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption, who in a March 30, 2020, interview22
with The Post warned that COVID-19 rules are paving the way for
despotism — the exercise of absolute power in a cruel and oppressive
manner.
“The real problem is that when human societies lose their
freedom, it’s not usually because tyrants have taken it away. It’s
usually because people willingly surrender their freedom in return for
protection against some external threat. And the threat is usually a
real threat but usually exaggerated.
That’s what I fear we are seeing now. The pressure on
politicians has come from the public. They want action. They don’t pause
to ask whether the action will work. They don’t ask themselves whether
the cost will be worth paying. They want action anyway. And anyone who
has studied history will recognize here the classic symptoms of
collective hysteria.
Hysteria is infectious. We are working ourselves up into a
lather in which we exaggerate the threat and stop asking ourselves
whether the cure may be worse than the disease.”
It is time to ask ourselves some very pressing questions. Is it
reasonable to expect government to eliminate ALL infection and ALL
death? They’ve proven they cannot, yet we keep relinquishing more and
more freedoms and liberties because they claim doing so will keep
everyone safer. It’s an enticing lie, but a lie nonetheless.
Remember, they sold us on the business shutdowns and home
quarantining by saying we just need to flatten the curve of infection
to avoid hospital overcrowding. Now the curve is in a visible nosedive
and hospitals are far from overcrowded with COVID-19 patients, yet
lockdowns remain in many areas and some — Australia being a prime
example — have reached astonishing new heights.
Sooner or later everyone must decide which is more important:
Personal liberty or false security? Circling back to where I started,
the good news is that many are in fact starting to see the writing on
the wall; they’re starting to see we’ve been “had,” and are starting to
choose liberty over brutal totalitarianism in the name of public
health.
