RON PAUL discusses the punitively harsh measures some governors continue to introduce despite a plummeting death rate from the Covid flu. Virginia's Ralph Northam, caught on camera in Virginia Beach last weekend without a mask, just ordered mandatory masks amid rapidly falling fatality numbers. Governors need to keep this going so they can rake in more of those federal emergency funds.
MAY MAGNIFICAT
— Gerard Manley Hopkins
MAY is Mary’s month, and I
Muse at that and wonder why:
Her feasts follow reason,
Dated due to season—
Candlemas, Lady Day;
But the Lady Month, May,
Why fasten that upon her,
With a feasting in her honour?
Is it only its being brighter
Than the most are must delight her?
Is it opportunest
And flowers finds soonest?
Ask of her, the mighty mother:
Her reply puts this other
Question: What is Spring? —
Growth in every thing —
Flesh and fleece, fur and feather,
Grass and greenworld all together;
Star-eyed strawberry-breasted
Throstle above her nested (more…)
VISIT the Centers for Disease Control website’s weekly update on deaths from Covid-19, flu and pneumonia and you will find a glaring statistical anomaly.
For the week ending on May 21, the total for all deaths from these three diseases is reported as 136,869. The breakdown is listed as the following: 88,578 deaths from pneumonia, 6,247 from flu and 71,339.
Do the math. That brings us to a total of 166,164 — close to 30,000 more than the reported total on the same page. (Thanks to Chuck Baldwin for this find.)
How could such an obvious inconsistency be overlooked by the statisticians at the federal agency?
Easily. This would not be the first time it has played with numbers.
As reported in the 2007 book by journalist Torsten Engelbrecht and Claus Köhnlein, MD, Virus Mania: How the Medical Industry Continually Invents Epidemics, Making Billion-Dollar Profits at Our Expense (Trafford Publishing), during the so-called AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, the CDC produced similar weekly updates. The updates “deliberately” underestimated the percentage of drug addicts among the afflicted. Even worse, the agency declared that a constellation of symptoms was caused by a contagious agent based on what CDC officer Bruce Evatt said was “almost no evidence.”
Published 13 years ago, Virus Mania, written originally in German and translated into English by Megan Chapellas and Danielle Eagan, is highly relevant to the Covid Scandal and I am surprised — take that back, I am not surprised — that more journalists are not referring to it now. This readable, lucidly written examination of what the authors maintain is a serious tendency to overestimate the power of viruses, a tendency driven by profit motives, will help you view our latest mania in the context of modern history. The authors focus on six epidemics: AIDS, Avian Flu, SARS, Cervical Cancer (HPV), Mad Cow Disease, Hepatitis C and polio. The popular narrative of all of these is highly questionable. They also mention others along the way, including the famous Spanish Flu of 1918, reported to have killed 550,000 in the U.S. The Spanish Flu has never been proven to have been caused by a virus: (more…)
CDC HAD THE COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS ALL SCRIPTED IN 2003 By Bill Sardi Dead Zone (2003, Screenplay Stephen King, Jeffrey Boam): When Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken) awakens from a coma caused by a car accident, he finds that years have passed, and he now has psychic abilities. Heartbroken that his girlfriend (Brooke Adams) has moved on with her life, Johnny also must contend with his unsettling powers, which allow him to see a person's future with a mere touch. While at a school science fair, Johnny gets a disturbing vision of a group of children getting extremely ill. Johnny persuades Walt to quarantine the building and eventually the children begin to get sick. Johnny realizes that without his help the children will die, including JJ. With the assistance of Rev. Purdy, Johnny must help Walt and the local health inspector, Jim Pratt, try to identify as well as find the source of the mysterious virus before it kills off the entire town. This is a clip summarizing a 2003 episode of a TV show called Dead Zone, the episode name is plague. During the episode, someone takes a flight in from China into the US and they come down with an unknown virus. After identifying the virus as a SARS related Coronavirus, one doctor figures out that they can stop the Coronavirus dead in its tracks using a malaria drug called Chloroquine. The writers have claimed that the information and research…

The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26 percent. Officials estimate a 0.4 percent fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35 percent rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26 percent — almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged it a month ago.
…. Given that at least half of the deaths were in nursing homes, a back-of-the-envelope estimate would show that the infection fatality rate for non-nursing home residents would only be 0.1 percent or 1 in 1,000. And that includes people of all ages and all health statuses outside of nursing homes. Since nearly all of the deaths are those with comorbidities.
The CDC estimates the death rate from COVID-19 for those under 50 is 1 in 5,000 for those with symptoms, which would be 1 in 6,725 overall, but again, almost all those who die have specific comorbidities or underlying conditions. Those without them are more likely to die in a car accident. And schoolchildren, whose lives, mental health, and education we are destroying, are more likely to get struck by lightning. (more…)
BIG BROTHER WANTS US AT HOME
By Miles Christi
(This is an automatic translation. If you understand Spanish, I advise you to read the original article.)
Stay home, we leave you out of work and bankrupt your company, the one that took you so many years to create.
Stay home, we decide for you what time you can go out and under what conditions.
Stay home, even if you don’t have money to buy food.
Stay home, even if your mother has a few years to live and she needs you.
Stay at home, and do not see your grandchildren because they may infect you.
Stay home, but keep paying taxes even if you don’t generate income.
Stay home while we release prisoners. (more…)

"CHAINS OF PETER" writes: I spent this weekend traveling to my state's Capitol based on social media rumors that "the biggest rally yet" would occur on Saturday. Based on my previous experience with here-now, gone-later "protests" in my home city, I had mental reservations that I would come to a city with empty streets. Fortunately, I was wrong. The Capitol Mall of Sacramento was absolutely teeming with people. Majority of them were Trump supporters, and although I have my doubts regarding his sincerity or ability to affect any change, what mattered more to me was the fact that perhaps thousands from around the state have cast off the 24/7 relentless programming of the Establishment regarding the "new normal" of this "killer" disease. Another reservation that I had was that this was not a truly grassroots rally. Indeed, the event had set up a podium with scheduled speakers and was sponsored by a group called the Freedom Angels. While there was a police presence, there were no riot cops and the officers present were few in number and benign towards all the attendees. The attendees also respected their boundaries. No one practiced social distancing and no police attempted to enforce it. Does this mean that the rally is "fake?" Maybe so, or maybe the rank and file of this formerly great state are beginning to relent. For my part, I attended because I wanted to protest the evil, inhuman, satanic…
DOCTORS and nurses in Northern California say they have seen more deaths from suicide than from the coronavirus: Kacey Hansen, a trauma center nurse at John Muir Medical Center for more than 30 years, says she’s worried not only about the increased suicide attempts but also about the hospital’s ability to save as many patients as usual. "What I have seen recently, I have never seen before," Hansen said. "I have never seen so much intentional injury." And the lockdowns were motivated by compassion?
THIS POOR young woman is controlled by truly chilling emotional manipulation. Wow, this is serious. Keep watching --- and you will realize you are in this relationship too.

I thought I would send you an update on one person’s battle against the lies that are openly being perpetrated throughout the world. It is sickening, but not surprising, that our leaders continue to perpetrate the COVID scam, as it has benefited them well in their lust for power.
I appreciate your links to Ron Paul’s videos. My brother has been a Ron Paul fan for years, and I hadn’t educated myself enough to realize how cogent Dr. Paul’s arguments are until recently. His words, and those of others who cherish their freedom, have emboldened me in this daily conflict of ideologies. It is not about a virus, it is all about control. I will not go down lightly.
On the front lines, I am taking a stand against the COVID nonsense wherever I confront it. I am speaking out publicly to anyone who will listen (and even some who don’t), in order to gracefully but firmly present another perspective besides the one proclaimed 24/7 on TV, radio, and all mass media. It is not hard to stand up against the hoax, but it does require a firm resolve. (more…)
MY HUSBAND and I went to a nursery today to buy some flowers and when we got there we found it was closed. But guess what? It wasn't closed because of the virus. It was closed for Ascension Day!! Can you believe it? I hope you enjoy this Bach oratorio, composed far away and many years ago, but in the spirit of the farmers who gave up money to honor Our Lord's departure for heaven almost 2,000 years ago. Happy Ascension Day!
HUNDREDS of doctors have signed a letter to Pres. Trump expressing alarm over the health toll of the ongoing virus shutdowns and calling for a resumption of normal life. The group was led by Dr. Simone Gold, an emergency medicine specialist in Los Angeles who has started an organization of doctors opposed to the shutdowns. A Republican public relations firm reportedly helped publicize the letter.
The letter states that heart disease, alcoholism, undetected cancer, child abuse, various other diseases, depression and suicide have all increased dramatically as a result of the closures. (Sad, that the letter describes “unplanned pregnancies” as among the negative consequences.) The doctors said the shutting down of schools and universities is “incalculably detrimental … for years to come.” (more…)
