Has the dust settled? Far from it. It’s everywhere. We are suffocating in it. The storm cloud manifests itself in several ways: inflation, learning losses, health problems, high crime rate, state services that do not work, interrupted production chains, poor quality work, displaced workers, substance abuse, mass loneliness , distrust in authorities, a growing real estate crisis, censored technology and arrogance of state power.
By the way, let’s consider that Easter itself, the day to celebrate the triumph of the Son of God over death, had its public worship canceled four years ago. That happened. Not even at the height of World War II was anything like this considered, not even canceling baseball. When the idea was suggested in a famous film script (The Woman of the Day1942), actor Spencer Tracy asked: “Why abolish that which you are trying to preserve?”
Good question. What was the point of the hell we went through? Who did this and why? Why did it last so long? Why was there no official accountability?
The lack of any real accountability or even an apology is a portent: they will keep their newfound powers and try all over again. Meanwhile, the world is on fire with wars, mass murder, crime, famine and revolution.
Thousands of questions
All of this goes back to lockdowns which began in March 2020, a subject that no one in civilized society talks about. It was a painful period, without a doubt. The people who did this to us expect us to be so traumatized that we won’t seek accountability, much less justice. As we feel this way, we are falling into their game.
Even now there are hundreds and even thousands of questions.
Why were there no broad seroprevalence tests in the population before the lockdown? It would have been a great way to measure the level of pre-existing exposure and assess whether White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx’s stated goal of achieving “zero Covid” had any chance of success.
Where did the World Health Organization get the completely false 3.4% infection fatality rate figure, and why was it released?
In fact, why did the architects of the lockdown did not resort to the vast existing literature, accepted as definitive in the world of public health, that lockdowns they only cause destruction, and that there is no form of physical intervention that offers any hope of containing a virus destined to spread throughout the population?
This information was known at the time, as was the general outline of the impact of this virus. So let’s not talk any more about what we knew at the time. We knew.
But we still don’t know:
- How did they convince Trump to reverse his anti-lockdown around March 10, 2020.
- To what extent the rapid spread of the virus was driven by testing, or even how accurate the testing was.
- Whether the sudden wave of early deaths was panic-based, iatrogenic or actually caused by the virus.
- How once-obscure agencies gained the power to manage the U.S. workforce and censor the media.
- Who exactly gave the order to stop hospital care in the US and why.
- How the government tried to ban conventional antivirals from the market.
- Who had pre-written the thousand-page bills that authorized $2 trillion in budget-busting spending and triggered an experiment in universal basic income.
The ghosts of war
Interestingly, much of this can be explained by the mad ambition to preserve immunological ingenuity in the entire population waiting for the vaccine to arrive in mid-November, eight months later. Was that always the idea, and in this case the “15 days to flatten the curve” were known to be complete nonsense? If this is true, the arrogance and sadism of the political objective here is disconcerting.
And if this is true, why? To implement a new platform technology called mRNA that would otherwise have no chance of being broadly evaluated through normal pathways? Was this the reason Anthony Fauci pursued the J&J vaccine from the beginning, as a tactic to drive it off the market and make way for Pfizer and Moderna?
If that was the goal, was it stated privately, and by whom? Who knew the objective from the beginning?
The fact that someone from the ruling class did not even consider recruiting the entire population for such a biological experiment revives the ghosts of war from a past that we thought we had left behind.
Censorship as an industrial tactic
These questions only scratch the surface. Even after four years of research on this topic as part of a very large team that has examined 1 million pages of documentation and reports, having written two books and many thousands of articles, and being fueled by a burning desire to know, most Most of us still don’t have a clear answer to a profound question: why and how did this happen to us?
There are many theories, all with plausibility, but none with the capacity to explain the whole.
We can say that the pharmaceutical industry was behind everything. It seems believable. The goal of testing mRNA in the global population explains a lot, especially if we consider the fake emergency situation. But the idea that hundreds of governments around the world have been secretly co-opted strains this plausibility.
We could observe that digital technology has manipulated public policies to benefit itself. The first big, viral article about the whole idea of lockdown was written by Thomas “Hammer-and-Dance” Pueyo, CEO of a hub of online teaching that has benefited greatly. platforms streaming benefited, as did Amazon (source of food and products), Uber Eats and DoorDash, among others, such as Zoom.
But should we really believe that human freedoms around the world have been ruined to increase the profits of this one industry? Again, it’s an exaggeration. And the same could be said about the theory that the media was the driving force. Yes, they gained a lot from it, using censorship as an industrial tactic against startups of new media. But how could they have gained so much power around the world?
The role of the PCC
There is also the view that the entire monstrous scheme was designed to remove Trump from office, promoting chaos and authorizing mail-in votes, which are difficult, if not impossible, to verify. This seems to fit many empirical points. There was undoubtedly a great effort to confuse the public, as if the presence of the virus was a metaphor for the Trump administration itself, which needed to be stifled.
There is certainly truth here, but how does that explain the hundreds of other governments around the world following suit? The fact that the answer is not just national, but global, raises real questions.
In this context, we can draw attention to the role of the Chinese Communist Party, which was the first to implement the lockdown amid theatrically produced videos of people dying in the streets and then pressured the World Health Organization to recommend the lockdown for the entire planet.
This theory also contains truth.
Every time a political issue touches the realm of national security and intelligence, it is cloaked in an impenetrable veil of secrecy that no law or court appears capable of controlling.
In deeper spheres, it is wise to visit the complexity of RFK Jr.’s book, The Wuhan Cover-Up, which explains the history of the United States’ biological weapons program, dating back to the end of World War II. There are secret laboratories around the world supported by the USA, including in Wuhan. Its activities and financing have public access hidden by confidential restrictions.
The goal of gain-of-function research is not to discover solutions to new emerging pathogens, but to create new pathogens with antidotes that we have and the enemy does not.
Was the release of this single pathogen part of this program? If so, that would explain why the intelligence and security bureaucracies became deeply involved from the beginning, and it would also explain why so many Freedom of Information Act requests about every aspect of this have been heavily censored, and why we are having so much trouble getting information from generally.
The mystery of the First World War
Every time a political issue touches the realm of national security and intelligence, it is cloaked in an impenetrable veil of secrecy that no law or court seems capable of controlling. I have also explored this path of investigation many times, with a large amount of evidence to support it. In this case, we are in fact talking about a theory that goes further, about a digital age coup by the masters of the deep state against civil society and democracy itself.
You can probably come up with ten or more convincing theories about this episode. Connecting the dots is a full-time job.
A wise man mentioned to me the surprising fact that we still do not have a complete explanation of why and how World War I happened. This war ended ancient civilization as we knew it. In a way, looking back, it was the beginning of the end of what we might call high civilization and the prospects for peace. It triggered the Bolshevik Revolution, caused Western-style freedoms to be mitigated by administrative state actors, introduced the idea of total war, recruited entire populations to become soldiers, and shattered the near-global expectations of prosperity and peace that had arisen.
And yet, we still don’t fully know why or how this happened. The mistakes accumulated, and the evils, too. When this kind of sadistic chaos tempts a ruling class, many other institutions join in to participate in the festival of loot and plunder. Society finds itself torn apart by interest groups that do not care about the general good, much less about human rights.
That’s a pretty solid description of what happened to us four years ago. They destroyed the world.
We may never discover the truth, but we can get closer to the truth. The efforts will not stop.
