FROM Gary D. Barnett:

“I HAVE watched this take place, and it was structured incrementally, all along testing the gullibility and fear of the populace, and as it progressed, it became obvious to those perpetrating this lie that taking over the entire country was going to be a cakewalk.

“What is happening now is exactly as Bill Gates previewed it in his idiocy called Event 201, which seems to have been the initial test and propaganda piece set in place to start this engine. This was no coincidence, regardless of what the mainstream media and globalists’ claim, but was an active exercise for what was to come. And yes, this is real conspiracy, not ‘conspiracy theory.’

“I will not relent in my efforts to expose the fact that the U.S. economy has been decimated due to spending, debt, and money creation for many years. Considering the situation in 2008, when all markets should have failed, the current economic picture is not only far worse, but has reached the pinnacle of disaster. This economy cannot be saved by money printing, QE, or sending checks out to those that have been forcibly relieved of their jobs by government fiat. I firmly believe that a major factor in why this so-called pandemic was created is to shift blame for the impending economic collapse on this virus, and hide the fact that the Fed and central banks around the world completely destroyed the economy. Had the markets and economy been allowed to fail without any fake pandemic, the government and banking system would have been exposed for the criminal thieves they are. This could not be allowed to happen by the ruling elites. Hence, the flu will kill us all!”

THE CORONA Emperor has no clothes — and all the scientists pretend that he does. There is serious illness out there, and that is very sad, but it’s not the pandemic we are being led to believe it is. Recent flu seasons have been worse. More than 60,000 Americans died in the 2017-2018 flu season. More than 20,000 died in the 2018-19 season, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

I LIKE what Chuck Baldwin says in his latest column about adults not showing fear:

My parents lived through the Great Depression (and two World Wars). I grew up listening to their experiences of living in the Depression. For poor people (which my parents were), the Depression was horrific. Today’s Americans know nothing of suffering in the magnitude of that terrible period of U.S. history.

And I can tell you emphatically that at no point did my parents (or grandparents or aunts and uncles) ever show fear. Never! Neither did they demonstrate selfishness nor panic. They spoke repeatedly of deprivation, sickness and want, but never of fear. And selfishness was not in their vocabulary. In the worst of times, they prayed, worked and worshiped together….

… Mark this down: When people are consumed with fear, they have already surrendered their hearts and minds to tyranny. [bold added]

It’s worth reading his column in full. Here’s more: Read More »

World Health Organization Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

KIM from Canada writes:

World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has lived most of his adult life as a “revolutionary” against formal, established systems. His political agenda, as is the case with contemporary Marxists, is to destabilize Western thought and Western civilization. The WHO is a hotbed for such appointed officials, clever at garnering huge funds and stealthy at undermining countries and regions which do not follow their political ideals.

In appointing him, the WHO found the perfect blend of a well-trained and intelligent leader who uses his position to realign the geopolitics of the world.

It is an important post. He has had major influence on the unfolding of the current Covid-19 “pandemic.” His warm relations with China may have been a factor in his response and his overestimation of the death rate.

The following gives some background on Ghebreyesus, who is everywhere identified as an Ethiopian, but is actually from Eritrea. (I refer to him by his first name as Tedros in the following.) He worked in Ethiopia under various regimes, but I think his Eritrean background identifies his world view, his political background, and his politicization of health care. Hence his post in the WHO.

Here are some interesting points: Read More »

AN INTERESTING comment after a Ron Paul video (unedited):

Pay attention folks, there’s much more going on here than what meets the eye. Is it a coincidence that just when the economy is booming, the stock market is setting record highs, we are winning the trade wars, school shootings have stopped, our nation is at peace, the Democratic party is a disaster and so is their likely nominee (Biden). He hasn’t a chance in hell & they’re not about to let an outsider (Bernie) destroy their scheme. It looks like Trump is a sure bet for reelection after fending off 3 years of investigations and impeachment, then all the sudden world crisis pandemic.

Stock market tumbles, companies are laying off employees, everything is closed and canceled, CEO’s of giant companies are resigning and indictments are coming. Now they say there are a couple ways a President doesn’t win reelection. Read More »

STEVE MNUCHIN — you know, the Wall Street czar from Trump’s drained swamp — says all Americans are going to get government-issued checks to compensate them for coronavirus losses — and those losses will be considerable for many.

And we get 90 days more to pay our taxes! Wow, break out the toilet paper, honey, we’re gonna have a party!

The truth is, Americans, already awash in both public and private debt, are surely going to be robbed more. They will pay for those cash payments many times over.

Some are beginning to suspect, and I agree with this appraisal, that the coronavirus panic has all been just a cover for an economic downturn that was coming anyway and would otherwise rightfully be blamed on our central banking system of enslavement via public and private debt, fully supported by our elected politicians, every single one of them. The banks create money out of thin air. They lend it to the government at interest. And all of us corona-addled suckers pay the costs in perpetuity and are subjected to cyclical recessions and near-constant inflation. And we routinely pay off personal loans with compound interest, which represent the sort of bondage through usury that the great Christian monarchs strictly forbade. Did you know that? Did you know that the usury virus destroys individual lives and civilization?

These cash payments are just another distraction. Americans have been looking the other way for more than 100 years, so distractions — sex, sports, viruses, you name it — work. Though the information revolution on the Internet has caused many people to get wise, this country has been plundered every single day since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. As Brother Nathanael says, at least we’ll get Cheetos, Coke and lots of toilet paper in our corona quarantine camps. And cash is in the mail!

I believe the virus is no more dangerous than the common flu – for healthy people – but has been engineered to be highly infectious and impact the elderly & sick. Thankfully, it is NOT affecting children & young adults like pandemic flu does.

I believe the virus was unleashed by the Communist Party to scare the Chinese people back into their homes and stop the Hong Kong & Taiwanese pro-freedom protests. Read More »

On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced it would revive the QE [Quantitative Easing] program. It would purchase $500 billion in U.S. Treasurys and $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities over the next several months. It wanted to make sure banks had enough liquidity to help businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Taipei, Taiwan

THE TAIWANESE are relatively healthy these days, even though the heavily urban island nation is only 81 miles from mainland China.

“Millions of people travel back and forth between China and the island each year. Last year, there were more than 5,700 flights per month, on average, between Taiwan and the mainland, according to Taiwan’s Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Nearly 11 million passenger journeys were made across the narrow Taiwan Strait by plane,” according to NPR.

And yet, in a population of 23 million, as of last Friday, there had been only been 50 confirmed cases of coronavirus and one death. And it appears that the outbreak there has passed. How do we explain Taiwan’s amazing immunity to these microscopic organisms? The Taiwanese kept them at bay without mass closure of stores, restaurants, courts and other businesses. Taiwan did not order its police to stop arresting criminals as the City of Philadelphia has done.

Foreign Policy, and the entire mainstream media, says the Taiwanese are just good at tracking down microbes. Actually, the Taiwanese government did react early on to restrict travel and track down people with the respiratory illness. It distributed millions of face masks. (According to the U.S. surgeon general, they are not effective at preventing contagion.) It extended school winter break for ten days; after that students who were sick were told to stay home. Interestingly, it heavily fined those spreading coronavirus rumors and fined those who were sick and did not observe quarantines. But it did not shut down all businesses. Ordinary life did not come to a standstill in Taiwan. The burden was on those who were sick to control their movements rather than requiring almost everyone who was healthy to go into lockdown.

The situation in Taiwan is proof this thing is not just an illness, it’s major political propaganda in the West. For the measures taken by the island nation were effective but not as extreme as in the West. Boris Johnson tried to implement similar moderate measures in Britain, telling Britons that they should quarantine themselves if they were sick and that it was not necessary to shut down businesses, but he has been brought to heel. Tellingly, Taiwan is not a member of the World Health Organization. It seems it’s healthier not to belong to this globalist giant.

We should be following the Taiwanese in their amazing corona war. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association:

In addition to daily press briefings by the minister of health and welfare the CECC, the vice president of Taiwan, a prominent epidemiologist, gave regular public service announcements broadcast from the office of the president and made available via the internet. These announcements included when and where to wear a mask, the importance of handwashing, and the danger of hoarding masks to prevent them from becoming unavailable to frontline health workers. The CECC also made plans to assist schools, businesses, and furloughed workers (eTable in the Supplement).

The Taiwanese deserve special credit for trying to stem, not just the virus, but panic. The government announced on January 31 that the spread of fake news about the virus could be fined up to NT$3 million (USD $100,000). And, the Criminal Investigation Bureau aggressively pursued those who were spreading rumors and panic. Would Anthony Fauci, who has said it’s too dangerous for healthy Americans to go to restaurants, have been fined if he lived in Taiwan? Would President Trump be arrested for stating that the country would be facing serious effects until July or August?

Despite measured and effective controls, many people went wild over face masks in Taiwan, leading the government to send out this bulletin:

FORMER CONGRESSMAN Ron Paul is not just a politician. He’s a medical doctor, a graduate of Duke University School of Medicine, who was in practice for decades. So he does have some expert knowledge on disease.

He seems to be the only public figure making these important points about the promotion of the coronavirus (though the title goes overboard in calling it a hoax). Bravo! As he says, the Orwellian Security State has taken a major leap forward. This virus is making America more and more like Wuhan every day.

But then do Americans deserve their famous civil liberties anymore?

Don’t you have to have some capacity for independent judgement, some tiny shred of skepticism toward things the government and media tell you, in order to deserve reasonable liberty of action and thought?

H. writes from Canada:

Toilet paper is the big fat obvious clue to what is going on here.

In Canada, and around the world, churches, schools, municipal centres, businesses, sports and entertainment events have been cancelled.  People are staying at home, fearful of associating with others and self-isolation is advised.  Yet, to date, in Canada there has been an [alleged] total of only four deaths as a result of the coronavirus. All of these occurred at the Lynn Valley Health Centre in North Vancouver, a senior’s centre.  If these four folks were aged and immune compromised already, and succumbed to the flu, why not tell the public such useful information?  Knowing the status of the dead would allay fears and ensure the common good was advanced.  Each of us could make informed decisions about our goings-on.

Surely, that we were advised to stock up on toilet paper, of all things, is proof enough that the coronavirus is a staged phenomenon and not a widespread health concern. The global elite must be enjoying some chuckles right now. We have been tested on our intelligence and tolerance for manipulation and literally, our tolerance for s–t. (Maybe for the laughs they’ll next tell us to stock up on apocalypse busters such as shampoo and conditioner, pocket combs and kitty litter.) The public’s response to the government and media manipulation is the green light for the globalists’ agenda. They have confirmed we’re ripe for the next stage in their plan. Read More »

HERE is an article about “bodies piling up” in morgues in Northern Italy. But with a national death toll of 2,100, the vast majority in advanced old age, in a country of 60 million, “piling up” is, at best, a colorful exaggeration and, at worst, pernicious fear-mongering.

Strange, how this virus from China bypassed more than a billion people living in Third World conditions in India and showed hardly any interest in Israel to find its way to Italy and other European nations. It has very little interest in Mexico or Canada, but likes the United States. Germs are mysterious. [Update: It’s not so mysterious why Italy has been harder hit. Many Chinese have bought up textile businesses in the Lombardy region and travelers from China apparently brought the virus to the area. Read more here:

The COVID-19 outbreak in Italy spread mostly from Codogno, a small town in southern Lombardy, at the border with the Emilia-Romagna region, with a second localized outbreak in Veneto. Since Lombardy is one of the wealthiest, most densely populated, and most globalized areas in Europe, the coronavirus circulated very fast and easily, and now all 20 regions in Italy register cases of infected people. It did not help that the Codogno economic district hosts large companies and multinationals – making it a hub for production and international trade. Workers, salesmen, managers, and consultants of all sorts travel daily to their workplace, many of them commuting to nearby cities. International partners visit from abroad. And of course, Milan – the sprawling and thriving capital of Lombardy, and a crucial railway node – is a mere 70 kilometer drive from Codogno.]

It is sad that Italy is experiencing such infectious illness. But the illness itself, while serious and causing death in a small minority of those infected, does not appear catastrophic yet despite everything you are being told.

My grandson’s  80-year-old banjo teacher is going cross-country skiing today. He said it fulfills the social distancing mandate.

Speaking of social distancing, I’ve lost a lot of friends over this “virus”.  No one will talk to me in real life. They are afraid I’ll spoil their bad mood and give them hope. That might be painful. Its always hard to come out of darkness suddenly when the light comes on.

And interesting they buy up toilet paper but the oranges and grapefruit and broccoli, the very thing that will help with a potential virus,  are still piled high in the grocery stores.

FIND more about efforts to control “misinformation” and a pandemic drill weeks before the corona outbreak in this article at Lifesite News.

Timothy Evans, director and associate dean of the School of Population and Global Health at McGill University in Montreal, spoke of the need to involve global institutions such as the U.N. and the World Health Organization to combat any misinformation coming from national governments, although he noted that when such institutions challenge governments directly, “they often get into this issue of sovereignty.” Evans spoke of the need for “soft” and “stealth” power influences such as religious leaders, business leaders, and influential people capable of contacting heads of state directly.

Mr. Lavan Thiru, of the Monetary Authority in Singapore, said there may be a need for governments to step up their “enforcement actions” on fake news.

“Maybe this is a time for us to showcase some cases where we are able to bring forward some bad actors and leave it for the courts to decide whether they have actually spread some fake news,” Thiru said.

In their official recommendations statement, the group said governments and social media companies will need to partner in order to counter “misinformation.”

I HAVE only watched the first three minutes of this video by Amazing Polly so I cannot vouch for all of it and I am not endorsing all of it. I have no idea what she says in the rest of the video, but her remarks about adults frightening children with this virus hysteria are so on target. I applaud Polly’s outrage here.

Real adults don’t talk about scary things around children (especially scary things that are not proven to be true.) Real adults in the company of children censor all news that promotes panic and fear. Real adults know that the innocence of children is sacred. Real adults know that the innocence of children must be guarded, just as you would guard a child’s life itself. Real adults project calm and reassurance. Real adults, though they cannot be perfect ever and make mistakes, seek to control their words and emotions out of love of children and out of appreciation for the touching sensitivity and mental vulnerability of the young which they themselves once possessed and have since lost.

A frightened, anxious childhood leads to crippled adulthood. Innocence is also precious in its own right.

Maybe that’s the problem here. Too many Americans never really had a morally protected childhood so they have not reached psychic maturity. And now they are reacting like lemmings to this panic in the news, running to the supermarket for weeks of supplies and obsessively dousing themselves with hand sanitizer, talking and thinking about nothing else even though they have not encountered a single person sick from a deadly virus.

They are engaging in mass child abuse. Shame especially on all those in charge of organizations and government agencies who have totally lost control of themselves with their canceled events and ponderous, foreboding statements. The Mass Manipulator in Chief is loving all this, every single minute of it.

Whatever this virus is, and I believe it is nothing like they are saying, it is an experiment in control too. Even if it were to cause the deaths of tens of thousands, it is psychological warfare at its finest and its worst effects will be mental, not physical. Read More »

On the coronavirus issue, I believe it is a hoax with serious economic repercussions.  We would benefit from relearning the skills of our forefathers who lived through the depression, including thrift and home gardening.  (See more on this at Ice Age Farmer.) Coronavirus appears to be a form of the flu (which about 200 people a day die from in the U.S.). We need to remember to use reason; viruses mutate all the time. The elite will likely use fear mongering in our controlled media and politics to take our liberties and push a vaccine on us (and I hope I am wrong).  Since it’s difficult to carry out their evil U.N. agenda to reduce the world’s population with a flu-like virus, they may have people asking for the thing that actually does sicken them. Like geoengineering/cloud seeding/weather modification, the coronavirus vaccine will be a backdoor form of poison, in the guise of doing good. Read More »

FROM “The Propaganda Master Comes to Town,” a tale of virus fakery, by Jon Rappaport:

“Back in his limo, the maestro puts in a call to his contact at the CDC. ‘Listen up,’ he says, ‘you people over there are starting to wobble. I’m talking about the diagnostic test for the virus. First, your test kits were bad, they didn’t work. Now you don’t have enough of them to satisfy needs. Plus the word is starting to leak out that the tests are inherently unreliable and no one should believe them. This crap must stop now. Shore up your troops. Get them in line. I want healthy people and sick people and old people and young people and all people to be diagnosed with corona, and I don’t want any uncertainties. You and I know the test is a joke, it doesn’t work, but nobody else can find that out. Got it? People over there at the CDC can be replaced. They can find themselves out on the street. What’s in charge of this operation is propaganda, not science. YOU back US up. That’s the hierarchy. I want FEAR raging through the population. If you can’t hold up your end, you’re going to find all the quotes about the epidemic in the press are suddenly coming from the World Health Organization, not the CDC. I’ll make sure you’re shoved into the background. The World Health people are professional. They know how to deliver a unified con job. Those two idiots, the governor of New York and the mayor of New York, are doing more to hype this fake epidemic than all the employees of the CDC put together. Get your house in order. Fast.’

“He closes his phone and puts it in his pocket. On the way to the airport, he hums a little tune. He looks out the window. He thinks to himself, if we can stretch this out far enough, we can force a cancelation of the Olympics. Maybe we can even stage a presidential election in America on the Internet. No one votes in a booth. Can’t risk transmission of the virus. He chuckles. His phone vibrates. He takes it out.” Read More »

AS THE media and governmental agencies continue to bombard the public with the coronavirus and as the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic despite the very low global death rate (about 4,000 alleged dead out of a world population of 7.7 billion), here are some questions you should be asking as you read the news. Let me also say, I am sincerely sorry for those who are sick and the relatives of the deceased or stricken. On their behalf, let us ask more:

What percentage of the 31 deaths that have occurred in the U.S. involved people over the age of 80 and those who had other serious health problems? In China?

Why if the virus has not been disastrous in China, with a very small percentage of the population having died, and why if the virus is receding there, do public officials keep suggesting that it will be disastrous in the U.S.?

Why has Angela Merkel said that two-thirds of the German population will be sickened?

Why has Italy been more affected than other countries?

Is the coronavirus more lethal overall than the average flu?

Why are quarantines being imposed now and not during the average flu season?

Why have India, Japan (more than half of the 1,200 confirmed cases there were from a cruise ship), Russia, Australia — all of which are closer to China than the U.S. and have many travelers from China — been less affected than the U.S.? Why has Canada, with much travel back and forth to China, had very few cases?

Why are experts forecasting a recession when so far relatively few people have been affected?

Are the government and the financial industry extending our obligations unnecessarily under the cover of induced panic?

Have you met a single person with confirmed coronavirus? Is that person seriously ill?

Please note the alarmist rhetoric in news reports. One headline declared, “the globe shudders.” This is psychological warfare. Even if the virus becomes a worldwide calamity, this alarmism does not seem justified so far. It is reasonable to suspect that we are being deliberately demoralized and further acclimated to a loss of national sovereignty, world government and intrusive laws restricting movement and individual decision-making.

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.
