March 13, 2020 [Note: The day America ‘locked down’.]
Some
people, even if they have fallen over a cliff, would, on the way down,
shout: “The virus must be dangerous! What else could it be?”
“People are dying! It’s got to be the virus!”
How about this? “The ICU hospital wards in Italy are overflowing. It’s the virus.”
Step back and think. THINK IT THROUGH.
Watching
a recent interview with an Italian public health official, I had the
impression that perhaps several thousand new ICU patients were burdening
the hospital system in the northern part of the country. Several
thousand out of a national population of 60 million.
Here’s
the trick. Before the announcement of the coronavirus epidemic, people
who showed up at those hospitals, with flu, flu-like symptoms, lung
infections, pneumonia would be placed in the general wards and treated,
or even sent home with drugs.
But
now they would, many of them, be called “presumptive cases” of
coronavirus, without any tests at all, or after tests which don’t work
(see my prior articles on why the diagnostic tests are useless and
deceptive). By labeling these patients “contagious coronavirus,” the
hospital doctors are forced to send them to the ICU, to “protect others
from the infection.”
Thus, these ICUs are crowded and overflowing.
The press publishes pictures of the ICUs and the hysteria factor bubbles up a few degrees hotter.
The
press interviews a hospital doctor, and he says, “We’re starting to see
a few more children with the virus.” The public
reaction? “Incredible! Now even healthy children are getting sick!” I
have breaking news. Children do get sick. Like adults, they develop
flu-like symptoms. And as with adults, they can now be diagnosed as
“presumptive coronavirus cases.”
“But
what about people dying in Italy?” As in other countries, people in
Italy do die. They always have. Especially old people, who have all
sorts of long-term health problems. Labeling them with “coronavirus” at
the last minute doesn’t explain the cause of death.
“Healthy
people in Italy are dying.” Two points here. First, sometimes these
healthy people aren’t really healthy at all. And second, if you were
healthy, and you were suddenly diagnosed, for no reason, with a virus
you believed was dangerous and even deadly, and then you were isolated
in an ICU ward, allowed no visitors, perhaps even put on a ventilator,
and then treated with highly toxic antiviral drugs, do you think there
is a chance you would die?
The
whole aim of stage magic is, as we all know, deflection of
attention. The audience is guided to look HERE, while the trick is being
executed THERE. Here, a woman is being sawed in half. There, she is
escaping from the back of the box.
In
the “epidemic,” HERE is where people are sick and dying and
diagnosed. THERE is where a fictional reason is being cooked up to
explain why.
“But…but…Italy, Italy, Italy, people dying, virus, virus…I don’t get it…”
Yes
you do. You’re getting the message the public health officials want to
shove into your mind. You’re standing on a street corner watching a pro
execute his shell game, and you’re falling for it every time.
