FROM C.J. Hopkins at OffGuardian:

Plastic barriers are going up everywhere. Arrows on the floor show you which way to walk. Boxes show you where to stand. Paranoid Blockwarts are putting up signs threatening anyone not wearing a mask.

Hysterical little fascist creeps are reporting their neighbors to the police for letting their children play with other children. Millions of people are voluntarily downloading “contact tracing applications” so that governments and global corporations can monitor their every movement.

In Spain, they bleached an entire beach, killing everything, down to the insects, in order to protect the public from “infection.”

The Internet has become an Orwellian chorus of shrieking, sanctimonious voices bullying everyone into conformity with charts, graphs, and desperate guilt-trips, few of which have much connection to reality. Corporations and governments are censoring dissent. We’re approaching a level of manufactured mass hysteria and herd mentality that not even Goebbels could have imagined.

Meanwhile, they’re striking the mostly empty “field hospitals,” and the theatrical “hospital ship” is now gone, and despite their attempts to inflate the Covid-19 death count as much as humanly possible, the projected hundreds of millions of deaths have not materialized (not even close), and Sweden is fine, as is most of humanity, and … just like there were no WMDs, there is no Virus of Mass Destruction.

What there is, is a new official narrative, the brave new, paranoid, pathologized “normal.” Like the War on Terror, it’s a global narrative. A global, post-ideological narrative.

THE California doctors who created a sensation by reporting on their experience with Covid and condemning the economic shutdowns are interviewed here by John Kirby with OffGuardian. Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Antin Massihi are emergency medicine physicians who run seven clinics in Bakersfield.

Their original press conference before ditzy, disbelieving reporters with an NBC affiliate received more than five million views on Youtube, which then deleted it. Massihi says they have encountered a lot of “anger and hatred” in response to their statements. “It doesn’t make much sense to us.”

Both these doctors remain calm, composed and unwavering in the face of intense opposition. They are rarities in a world where everyone seems fearful of taking an independent stand. They seem to have genuine compassion for the people suffering crippling anxiety because of the shutdown and with those who are not receiving medical care because they are too afraid to get treatment. I assume one of the reasons they have been able to go public is that they run their clinics themselves and are not afraid of getting fired.

“Is the collateral damage of Covid worse than the virus itself,” Erickson asks. He believes it is.

Erickson and Massihi make some statements that they don’t back up with data or that they contradict. For instance, they say the shutdown made sense at the beginning and then say the Swedish model, with no shutdown, seemed best.

OFF Guardian does a second interview with Knut Wittkowski, who was head of The Rockefeller University’s Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design for 20 years and currently is CEO of a biostatistics company. (The first interview is here.) He talks about the criticism of him since he spoke publicly on Covid-19 and he examines the course of the virus.

This elderly scientist tears up a couple of times, upset at the consequences of the lockdowns and the harm he believes was done by not protecting the elderly in nursing homes adequately.

The interview includes some scenes in a restaurant. (I’m not sure where they found an open restaurant.) But the scenes are not the best and make him look a little tipsy.

PROTESTORS faced off with police blocking entry to the legislative chamber in the Michigan State House in Lansing yesterday. The Republican-led legislature voted to deny extension of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, which was scheduled to expire today. They also authorized legal action against Whitmer.

In response, Whitmer, who plays a leading role in the gubernatorial cast of Covid Crooks, extended the shutdown until May 15 by emergency decree with continued restrictions until May 28th. The continued shutdown, as many doctors have said, will almost certainly make the virus worse in Michigan, as people suffer from weakened immunities from staying inside and avoiding contact with germs. The chillingly plastic-looking Whitmer seems unmoved by the ruin her policies have caused.

In the comments to your recent post, Air Force and Navy Fly “Operation Desperate”, Zeno mentions that “dancing doctors” and the need of doctors and nurses for “applause” as being unprofessional.

As a physician, I can tell you that this is extremely upsetting to witness. Zeno is exactly on the mark; this is over-the-top unprofessional. When I attended medical school 25 years ago at a prestigious Ivy League medical college (meaning left-wing) one of the required seminars for all 1st year students was how one is to conduct oneself professionally. Ostentatious dress, abundant jewelry, the use of slang in speech or discussing one’s lifestyle (this meant one’s socio-economic status, not what the word implies today, i.e. sexual orientation) around patients was strictly off limits. I would guess this seminar has been removed from the curriculum.

My take is that this is another manifestation of the push of moving our culture downward, to the lowest common denominator. Doctors and nurses were always held to a higher standard with regards to behavior. If they are successful in having people give up restraint in how they conduct themselves, even in the workplace, they have achieved another level in the psychological warfare being conducted for the last 50 years to demoralize the descendants of those who built Western civilization.

And I would also predict that this Covid-19 panic-demic will lead to a hard push in the next 1-2 years to unionize all hospital nurses (and maybe even physicians). Read More »

IF you are having trouble viewing these videos, go here and here. In the first video by Project Veritas, funeral directors in New York City say many deaths are being falsely labeled as Covid-related.  We already knew that of course, but this is important corroboration. “They’re padding the numbers,” said one director. He also said deaths were definitely higher than normal. Another funeral director says a family who believed a family member died of neglect in a nursing home demanded an autopsy after she was diagnosed with Covid and it showed she did not have it.

The researchers at Project Veritas were at the top of their game with this video. Funeral directors are not getting kickbacks from the government and unlike hospital officials, who are getting kickbacks, and politically-appointed medical examiners, they have no personal stake in the numbers so they are a good source of information. I predict this video will go viral and be banned by Youtube, just as the video interviews of two California doctors who say the same thing about the deaths has been banned.

In the second video made earlier this month and posted here before, the head of a trauma center in King’s County is interviewed on the street and says the same thing about the false labeling of deaths.

Regarding all deaths at this time, people in nursing homes and hospitals are being denied all visits from family. So we can assume the level of care has plummeted. The vigilance of family makes a big difference in outcomes and abandonment itself can cause distress and poor health.

I am sending this Youtube link to you for your interest. I would like to know what you make of it.

It features an old soldier called Capt. Tom Moore and a singer called Michael Ball plus a “choir” of NHS (National Health Service) voices. Capt. Moore speaks the words of a song called “You’ll never walk alone” and Michael Ball sings the words and the crowd of NHS staff make their voices heard also.

I find the entire video sinister and chilling. I wonder if the powers-that-be are using the old man, although it is also possible that he loves the lime light and the attention he is receiving. Read More »

THERE’S a law to organized lying. The more people doubt, the more outrageous the lying must be.

In desperate agitprop to support the manufactured, hyped Covid Crisis, especially as more people know or sense that something is not right with the official narrative, the Navy and Air Force are sending their party fighter jets out today to perform flyovers in the New York-New-Jersey-Philadelphia Corona Corridor in honor of overworked medical workers. We’re all supposed to look up while under house arrest, tears flowing at how we are all in this together. Our children steeped in imposed idleness will get a few seconds of aero-acrobatics and then go back to blithering boredom.

The advertising whiz kids who thought this slick stunt up are probably glowing with triumph; normally they don’t have fighter jets at their disposal!

The Hill reports:

The flyovers are part of what the Trump administration is calling Operation America Strong.

President Trump thanked the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds Thursday morning for the planned flyovers.

Aw, ain’t that sweet? Throwing millions away on air shows while the peons below starve. Oh, but then Trump is just getting bad advice, right? The whole thing is about bringing Trump down! (And if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn ….)

As we all know, medical workers are not overworked. The opposite is true. They are being laid off or furloughed in large numbers because so many people are not getting medical treatment while the shutdowns continue. Sadly, some of these fearful and neglected patients will expire or suffer lifetime damage from untreated conditions.

Medical workers are, in fact,  so underworked that a disturbingly high number have produced dance videos during their slow time. (Just Google “dancing nurses.”) This “dancing nurse” phenomenon is surely, at least in part, orchestrated propaganda to create division and distract with trivialities (that’s why I have not wasted your precious time on these Tik Tok videos), but some of the videos must be genuine.

Medical workers always deserve gratitude when they are caring for us. They should be routinely thanked. As I said to one of the four doctors who have seen me for various urgent, non-viral, curable problems during this Covid Crisis, “Thank you for seeing me.” I extend sympathy to those who are overworked, but the best way to honor medical workers at this point is not with flyovers, clapping crowds, songs or other forms of organized schmaltz.

End the shutdown and politically-orchestrated hysteria so that they can have their jobs back. End the shutdown and expose the truth about the virus so that people in need of medical treatment can come out of fear-induced hiding and get care.

And make sure this historically-unprecedented travesty never happens again. When a truly devastating pandemic hits, we will have plenty of opportunity to show our thanks. And there will likely be no party jets then.

NORMALLY, the closer one lives to New York City, the more unbalanced one is. But with the nation so steeped in germaphobia that we are all living in a public psychiatric ward, this everyday, occasionally endearing neuroticism in the modern capital of psychoanalysis is culminating in high levels of mass paranoia. Any self-respecting psychiatrist should be walking the streets of Manhattan taking notes.

Heather Mac Donald writes at Unz Review on “The paranoid style in Covid America:”

“To grasp the urgency of lifting the ubiquitous economic shutdowns, visit New York City’s Central Park, ideally in the morning. At 5:45 am, it is occupied by maybe 100 runners and cyclists, spread over 843 acres. A large portion of these early-bird exercisers wear masks. Are they trying to protect anyone they might encounter from their own unsuspected coronavirus infection? Perhaps. But if you yourself run towards an oncoming runner on a vector that will keep you at least three yards away when you pass each other, he is likely to lunge sideways in terror if your face is not covered. The masked cyclists, who speed around the park’s inner road, apparently think that there are enough virus particles suspended in the billions of square feet of fresh air circulating across the park to enter their mucous membranes and to sicken them.

These are delusional beliefs, yet they demonstrate the degree of paranoia that has infected the population. Every day the lockdown continues, its implicit message that we are all going to die if we engage in normal life is reinforced. Polls show an increasing number of Americans opting to continue the economic quarantine indefinitely lest they be ‘unsafe’. The longer that belief is reinforced, the less likely it will be that consumers will patronize reopened restaurants or board airplanes in sufficient numbers to bring the economy back to life. . . . “

There’s a bright side to this.

The more you live amid this hysterical fear of death, the happier you can be that you are mortal and will live this life, in this world, only once.

ONE OF the very bright spots in the manufactured Corona Crisis is the appearance of courageous medical whistleblowers.

Many doctors, such as the two emergency medicine physicians from Bakersfield, California who are now being censored with breathtaking and open boldness by Youtube, and other physicians from Europe and the U.S., have spoken publicly against the official narrative. I have posted many of their statements over recent weeks. Their disclosures and analysis are almost totally ignored by the mainstream media. They are not the official “experts,” and don’t count.

Now we have a few more truth-tellers.

A group of emergency medicine doctors in Alabama has produced a brilliant, highly readable article on the virus and its effects. Titled “The Truth (and Lies) about Coronavirus,” it is signed by Dr. David Williams, who has been practicing emergency medicine for more than 20 years in Montgomery. It was written, he says, as the Alabama corona death count was being egregiously misrepresented in the news.

I can’t recommend this article strongly enough. I found it buried in a Twitter account, but I imagine it will attract widespread attention. At least I hope it does. Below are some highlights, but please read the whole thing and save it to your computer or keep a printout as there is a good chance this will be obliterated. It’s an important bit of history to pass on to posterity. “See, these courageous and upstanding Americans spoke the truth.”

You know, doctors tend to be highly submissive to chains of command.  That’s understandable. Long gone is the independent practitioner beholden to no one but his patients. Doctors, today more than ever, need to take orders to survive, and the more centralized the medical business becomes the more this is true. There are, as we now so clearly see, times when this submissiveness is a danger to general public health. It takes a strong sense of independence, and a strong desire to protect the integrity of the profession, for doctors in this current manufactured crisis to speak against the official narrative. They risk the wrath not just of politicized medical authorities but of misinformed patients.

This article, which presents scientific and medical facts, is furthermore notable because its author is angry — in a reasonable and effective way. As well we all should be.

It begins:

This is being written on April 19, 2020. Although there is a central author, it is being written on behalf of multiple physicians in West Alabama and will be distributed through multiple medical offices. Between us we have well over a hundred years of practice and have treated hundreds of thousands of patients suffering infectious diseases. Including mission trips we have treated patients on five continents. We planned this date for several reasons. First, most of our patients now realize there is something “funny” about the coverage and handling of this disease. Secondly, if it wasn’t being handled differently by April 19, we knew it would take action from us and our patients to change that handling. Read More »

YOUTUBE has begun to delete this hugely popular, candid interview about Covid with two emergency medicine doctors in Bakersfield, California.

Dr. Artin Masihi and Dr. Dan Erikson, who manage seven clinics for Accelerated Urgent Care, calmly present statistics on the virus and call for an immediate end to the lockdown. They site their conversations with doctors around the country who say the lockdown is having many adverse health and social effects and that the virus is less severe than some flu viruses. Hospitals are empty in many places around the country, many people are afraid to come in for treatment, and hospitals are furloughing doctors.

The mainstream media has ignored this interview which has exploded in popularity on the Internet. Is there greater proof of a deliberate disinformation campaign than this censorship?

Below are shorter cuts of the interview for easier sharing:

The real agenda behind COVID-19

BELIEVE it or not, the World Health Organization released a report only last October that said there is no evidence that the sort of social distancing and job closures currently mandated by governments and approved by the WHO itself are effective in containing serious infectious disease. The findings of the report and a similar report by the European Council of Disease Control drew from evidence collected over 10 years.

From Telepolis: 

[Click on translate]

Last October, the WHO found scientifically robust evidence for the effectiveness of just two of the measures currently being implemented or discussed: hand hygiene and wearing masks (in institutions of the health system). However, she described the quality of the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of all other measures such as social distancing, contact tracing, travel restrictions and house arrest as low or very low. [bold added]

A few months later, the WHO then recommended precisely those measures for which it had not recently been able to find reliable evidence of their effectiveness.

The contradiction between these two events cannot now be resolved simply by pointing out that the WHO document of 2019 refers to pandemic influenza, while the COVID-19 crisis was triggered by another and possibly much more dangerous virus. Firstly, on page 3 of the said document, the WHO expressly refers to a new virus for which there is still no basic immunity in the human population. On the other hand, the current WHO recommendations would appear even more questionable: If the coronavirus is the more dangerous pathogen, why should one rely on a list of measures whose effectiveness cannot even be proven against flu?

In other words, the WHO has since conducted one vast social experiment for which there was no prior scientific justification. Even the famous “flattening of the curve” was not based on science.

FROM Ron Paul:

Vaccines can improve health. For example, vaccines helped reduce the incidence of diseases like polio. But not all vaccines are safe and effective for all people. Furthermore, certain modern practices, such as giving infants multiple vaccines at one time, may cause health problems. The fact that vaccines may benefit some people, or even most people, does not justify government forcing individuals to be vaccinated. It also does not justify vaccinating children against their parents’ wishes. And it certainly does not justify keeping individuals and families in involuntary quarantine because they do not have “digital certificates” proving they have had their shots.

BILL SARDI at Corbett Report makes some interesting predictions:

There is a second wave of Covid-19 coming in the next few months. We don’t have to speculate about this. Not only have we heard this from all manner of politicians and health “authorities” over the past few months, but it was an integral part of MIT Technology Review’s now-infamous “We’re not going back to normal” article, which revealed how the waves of lockdown and release were going to restructure our lives and condition us into the Corona World Order. And, lest there be any doubt that this is an important part of the plandemic narrative, Bill Gates just reaffirmed it in his latest “GatesNotes“ on “The first modern pandemic.” Read More »

DR. Artin Masihi and Dr. Dan Erikson work at Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield, California. They discuss their experience with the virus pandemic so far and question why healthy people were placed under quarantine. [Posted at Lifesite News.]

Listen carefully to the interviewers. They seem to have gotten all their information from White House press conferences and done no independent research of their own.

I was confused in listening to these doctors as to why they recommend mass testing. Note: Their clinics administer the tests.

Warning: Dr. Masihi repeats the dubious claim that the Covert-19, I mean Covid-19, virus lives on surfaces for 72 hours. This theory came from artificial laboratory tests conducted by the CDC. A German virologist who studied the virus in real life conditions refutes this claim.

I have been a reader for a while now, and appreciate your perspective on many topics.  We may not always agree, but it is refreshing to come to your site for perspective, especially in the latest national and world events.  You correctly describe the “crisis” as a coup.  I couldn’t agree more.  I read once, perhaps on your site, that “evil will always tell you what it’s doing.”  This is so true in today’s events.  No matter how many times we read the “death toll” of this supposedly pervasive threat to our well-bring, the numbers struggle to reach even a couple of hundred deaths in most states.  Yet, we are told the numbers are “spiking” and “climbing” as if we must all be in a panic!  I daresay more people have been killed in car accidents or by lightning strikes than have actually died directly from COVID.    I think the fact that our society has become so God-less over the past generation has helped to create the fear of dying in so many.  They try to hold on to this life because they think that is all there is, and perhaps are fearful that it isn’t.
