A Coronavirus Skeptic
March 4, 2020
A READER writes from Northern Ireland:
I am never in a rush to believe anything that emanates from communist China, so I was never convinced about the seriousness of this coronavirus (assuming it exists, and I remain dubious about the whole matter.) It seems that virtually the entire world is being sucked in to the mass hysteria juggernaut. Why are people so quick to believe the media and world governments and the WHO? I refuse to go along with the madness and I will remain skeptical and doubting until there is proof that the virus exists, and even if it does exist, it does not appear to cause alarming symptoms and I cannot understand how some people have (supposedly) died as a result of being infected with it. People walking about in masks looks highly suspect to me and I fear that we are all being manipulated and taken for fools by dark forces somewhere in the world.
NOTE: This entry includes a shocking image that proves the coronavirus is real. If you are sensitive, please do not look!

It’s been non-stop hype — and that’s why we know there is some hidden agenda, regardless of what the virus is. There have been 135 supposed cases in the United States so far. And we have a $8.3 billion emergency bill in federal aid. Eight billion dollars!! Los Angeles County has declared a state of emergency? After 51 cases in the state.
The New York Times, which never urges us to pray about anything, wants us to pray — for scientists.

Let us pray, now, for science. Pray for empiricism and for epidemiology and for vaccines. Pray for peer review and controlled double-blinds. For flu shots, herd immunity and washing your hands. Pray for reason, rigor and expertise. Pray for the precautionary principle. Pray for the N.I.H. and the C.D.C. Pray for the W.H.O.
And pray not just for science, but for scientists, too, as well as their colleagues in the application of science — the tireless health care workers, the whistle-blowing first responders, the rumpled, righteous public servants whose long-ignored warnings we will learn about only when the 12-part coronavirus docu-disaster series drops on Netflix. Wish them all well in the fights ahead. Their weapons, the weapons of science, are all we have left — perhaps the only true weapons our kind has ever marshaled against encroaching oblivion.
It may sound paradoxical to plead for divine sanction of scientific pursuit. But these are dicey times for science and for scientists, and they need all the help they can get. As the coronavirus spreads, it is exposing the fraying seams of our overextended world. In societies as different as China and the United States, those seams are starting to look similar. The failures to contain the outbreak and to understand the scale and scope of its threat stem from an underinvestment in and an under-appreciation of basic science.
Sure, this is not exactly breaking news; decades of global environmental heedlessness paint a grim picture of modernity’s responsiveness to scientific foreboding. [emphases added]
Fraying seams? Underinvestment? Scale and scope?
Sounds like one more plea for world government.
According to Manjoo, “Scientists” are brave and underfunded warriors facing a wall of ignorance from American idiots who don’t believe in global warming hysteria and vaccines. They don’t realize that scientists are objective and never wrong.
Science and scientists face crushing opposition. In addition to silent-spreading disease and a burning planet, they must take on the moneyed, the godly, the dictatorial and Mike Pence.
That crushing opposition includes billions in grants to those brave warriors working on climate change and the coronovirus.
Here is the shocking image that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that the coronavirus is real. It’s graphic and may be upsetting!
It’s a hand sanitizer dispenser inside Senator Mitch McConnell’s office on Tuesday!! I almost fainted when I saw it. This is far worse than bodies piled up at the local morgue. One more hand sanitizer dispenser at the Capitol and we may need another $8 billion.
This is even more shocking than masks. Thank goodness, the Times published this. Otherwise stupid Americans who don’t see that “science” is never wrong and never has a political agenda might not have realized that this virus is having a devastating impact on our country.

That photo really is creepy. Notice the single eye in the center, under the door hinge.

Oh, my goodness. Look at that! The all-seeing eye of Freemasonry!
Now this is scary.
What an odd name too for the photographer: Susan Moneymaker.
It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe–the whole of Italy and France and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of other countries–is covered with a network of these secret societies, just as the superficies of the earth is now being covered with railroads.

Like other fake crises, false flags and psyops, I wonder at the absence of any news from teachers and missionaries in China via their social media, cell phones, etc. This virus news came directly from major news media. There seems to be no record of their own sources. A friend from Europe phoned me recently to read something from a publication by a doctor, who said the virus was never isolated and sent to a lab. Some people think this virus report was to create panic and sell vaccines. From what we know of the way the government operates, monetary help given to any crisis, both foreign and domestic, is usually skimmed off the top and paid to members of Congress who promoted the aid.

Get everyone worked up about a non-event, then change systems – entries and exits into countries, government interventions, food and medical distribution, vaccines, news reporting, and all the rest.
So, in the final analysis, these people really do want to harm, and to destroy the world as is, even their own countries.

The corona virus hype will blow over soon, once the governments have passed the relevant laws, and syphoned off enough tax payer money.

From Reality Check Coronavirus Fear Porn:
During the 2009 “Swine Flu” panic, a German MEP accused the World Health Organisation of “creating a panic” in order to sell vaccines. Though the WHO vehemently denied this, an independent report later found that several of the “independent flu experts” that WHO consulted had financial ties to vaccine manufacturers.
Three years ago, the Zika virus had Floridians BEGGING to be sprayed with pesticides and had millions of genetically modified mosquitoes released into the wild. Considering Zika has never been scientifically proven to do anything by cause cold symptoms, that was a nice result.
If you’re agenda-spotting in this case, be on the lookout for a “new” medicine getting rushed through patent offices. This anti-coronavirus drug will then be bought-up in huge amounts by hospitals and health services the world over.
Whichever of the handful of pharmagiants owns the patent will get a huge profit boom, plus the soaring stock prices that go along with owning the miracle cure to the scary disease du jour.
Longer-term, there is vaccination to consider. Medicine you have to take even if you’re not sick is a goldmine for pharmaceutical companies, and if the government makes them mandatory (always an issue simmering on the back-burner) well, then that’s even better. Not only does it mean they don’t really have to work (I mean, how much work do you put into a product literally everyone is legally obliged to use?), but the opportunities for large-scale genetic research (and corruption) are endless.
Generally speaking, fear is always useful. If you can frighten people they do whatever you say. A fact known to leaders and propagandists for centuries.
