Fear and Loathing of the COVID-19 Economy

Fear and Loathing of the COVID-19 Economy

Let me begin by saying I don’t know anything definitive about the origin of COVID-19. I don’t know if it is a natural mutation or a manmade biological weapon. I don’t trust the government and its media corporations to report the truth on the virus or the actual number of victims it has claimed. The WHO—owned by Merck, the GAVI Alliance, and the Gates Foundation—and the CDC—allowed to receive “gifts” from Big Pharma and corporations—are corrupt institutions that have lied about pandemics in the...

Lockdowns Ending but Their Politics Still Rule

While it looks like the worm is turning against the draconian economic shutdowns decreed by governments, so much damage has already been done it likely won’t matter now. I began the week hopeful that my home state of Florida would lead the way towards challenging the anti-human and thoroughly intolerable lock down mentality imposed on us by officials at the WHO, NAIAD, Johns Hopkins and the IHME. That hope continued earlier this week while watching Governor Ron DeSantis give a half-hour...

Why Sweden Has Already Won the Debate on COVID ‘Lockdown’ Policy

Why Sweden Has Already Won the Debate on COVID ‘Lockdown’ Policy

As Europe and North America continue suffering their steady economic and social decline as a direct result of imposing "lockdown" on their populations, other countries have taken a different approach to dealing with the coronavirus threat. You wouldn’t know it by listening to western politicians or mainstream media stenographers, there are also non-lockdown countries. They are led by Sweden, Iceland, Belarus, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Surprisingly to some, their results have been as good...

Why Foreign Interventionism?

What is the point of US foreign interventionism? Why are US troops killing and dying in faraway countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Somalia? Why does the US government have 165,000 troops stationed in more than 150 foreign countries? Why is the US government enforcing economic sanctions and embargoes against the people of Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and other countries? Why are US officials waging trade wars against foreign nations? Why do the CIA and the Pentagon assassinate foreigners?...

US-Backed Forces Killed Twice as Many Children as Taliban and ISIS Did During 1st Quarter of 2020

New data released Monday from the United Nations finds that US-backed forces in Afghanistan were responsible for killing more than twice as many children as did extremists during the first three months of 2020. The figures come from the latest quarterly report by the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). From January 1 - March 31, said UNAMA, there were 1,293 civilian casualties in Afghanistan, including 533 killed and 760 injured. The tally reflects a 29 percent decrease compared to...

Covid-19 gives cover for US-led coalition to keep up pressure on Syria

On April 27, at around five in the morning, Israel targeted residential areas of southern Damascus, killing three civilians, injuring four and causing significant material damage to homes. The attack was carried out by Israeli warplanes unlawfully hijacking Lebanese airspace to fire their missiles into Damascus suburbs. It is the fourth such attack in the past month, two having taken place in the same week. Israeli media used the typical “self-defence-mission” arguments to justify the...

The Massive Inflatable Crisis That is COVID-19

By all accounts and from the very beginning it was clear to some that Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) was at the very most a little more dangerous than the seasonal flu – but was being deliberately hyped to stampede the public into an increasingly tangled web of bad policies. As early as last month, cooler-headed experts had warned that hyped death rates spread by politicians, the Western corporate media, other various panic-mongers, and even World Health Organization (WHO) officials would...

Do Lockdowns Save Many Lives? In Most Places, the Data Say No

Do quick shutdowns work to fight the spread of Covid-19? Joe Malchow, Yinon Weiss and I wanted to find out. We set out to quantify how many deaths were caused by delayed shutdown orders on a state-by-state basis. To normalize for an unambiguous comparison of deaths between states at the midpoint of an epidemic, we counted deaths per million population for a fixed 21-day period, measured from when the death rate first hit 1 per million—e.g.,‒three deaths in Iowa or 19 in New York state. A...

Covid-19 and The Red Dawn Emails

Dr. Richard Hatchett. He was an advisor to President George W. Bush, for whom he imagined mandatory confinement of the civilian population and now heads CEPI, the global coordination group for vaccine investment created by the Davos Forum around the Gates Foundation. He was the first to equate the Covid-19 epidemic with a "war" (sic).In an earlier article [1], I demonstrated how frightening statistical predictions of the number of deaths that Covid-19 would cause were made by a charlatan,...

Donald J. Trump: Patient Zero of Lockdown Nation’s Covid Hysteria

Donald J. Trump: Patient Zero of Lockdown Nation’s Covid Hysteria

According to the CDC’s long established mortality models, 687,000 Americans were supposed to die during the 12 weeks between February 1 and April 18. But only 666,000 actually complied. So the Grim Reaper was deprived of his seasonally adjusted mortality quota, even as 21,000 families were spared, at least temporarily, of the loss and grief which accompanies the passing of a loved one. Either way, how in the hell does that square with Lockdown Nation—an unprecedented government ordered...

Will It Take Food Shortages to End Support for the Shutdown?

Americans are uniquely privileged, to the point of simply imagining they can stay home for months and months without suffering severe economic hardship as a result. Our unique privilege is delusion, the mentality that America is rich and will remain rich without particular effort on our part. Abundance simply materializes around us, regardless of incentives, and the job of politicians is to rearrange this abundance more equitably. Polls such as this one showing widespread American support for...

New Anti-China Propaganda Uses Russiagate Playbook

A rabid anti-China propaganda campaign has spread through the media since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The hysteria seems to be just as contagious as the virus, as Americans are bombarded with anti-China stories from the pages of The New York Times to segments on Fox News. Both Republicans and Democrats are arguing the other side is not tough enough on China as they gear up for the 2020 election. Since Donald Trump was elected president, the unfounded claim that Russia meddled in the...

Narrative Managers Argue China-Like Internet Censorship Is Needed

Neoconservative publication The Atlantic has published an article authored by two university professors titled “Internet Speech Will Never Go Back to Normal”, subtitled “In the debate over freedom versus control of the global network, China was largely correct, and the US was wrong.” The article is actually worth reading in full, not just because it’s outrage porn for anyone who values human communication that is unregulated by oligarchs and government agencies, but because it’s actually...

Next in Coronavirus Tyranny: Forced Vaccinations and 'Digital Certificates'

In my first week in the House of Representatives in 1976, I cast one of the two votes against legislation appropriating funds for a swine flu vaccination program. A swine flu outbreak was then dominating headlines, so most in DC were frantic to “do something” about the virus.Unfortunately, the hastily developed and rushed-into-production swine flu vaccine was not only ineffective, it was dangerous. Approximately 50 people who received the vaccine subsequently contracted Guillain-Barré...

These Three Things Should Mean an Immediate End to the Lockdowns

If CA Governor Newsom putting in place a "task force" to discuss how to end the lockdown in that state - when none was needed to implement it - isn't enough to convince you that this is all a load of horse manure, maybe these will help: 1. There is no empirical evidence for these lockdowns. Wilfred Reilly looked at the "data from the Worldometers Coronavirus Project, along with information about the population, population density, median income, median age and diversity of each US state, to...
