GOV. TOM WOLF of Pennsylvania is among those (Democratic) governors who have promoted Covid junk science and implemented economic and social tyranny with a zealotry that suggests a personality deeply suited to the sick thrills of dictatorship. And that's what this man is --- a petty dictator not a leader implementing the public good and protecting public health. In the latest news, as he continues to keep Pennsylvanians incarcerated in their homes in a state of manufactured fear, Wolf scolds residents who might want to go to the New Jersey beaches (they have just reopened) for Memorial Weekend. Here is Big Mommy Wolf: “I wouldn’t go to the beach,” Wolf said during a video news conference in response to a question about whether he was concerned that beach-going would create a rise in coronavirus cases in the Philadelphia region. “There are people there who aren’t wearing masks, and you’re putting yourself at risk. I wouldn’t do that, I haven’t done that, and I’m not sure why the governors of Maryland and New Jersey have opened their beaches, but they have.” I have not seen a single image of Big Bad Wolf in a mask, have you? He goes around putting people at risk with potentially lethal exhalations every day. But masks are for the little people. Our major politicians know how intrinsically humiliating and unnecessary they are so they don't wear them. Look, if a person believes something so absurd…

  THE MICHIGAN Department of Health has taken the license away of a 77-year-old barber who reopened his business in defiance of lockdown rules. This is truly pathetic. All these government strong-arm tactics are political cover. They make it seem as if the virus is the boogeyman or "invisible enemy" "experts" say it is. But let me ask you something. Why does a barber need a license in the first place? Is it really so dangerous to cut hair that it needs to be regulated by the state? The cards are stacked in a million ways against anyone attempting a small business. Pretty soon Amazon will figure out a way to deliver haircuts to your door and barbers will be extinct.  

WOULD you like to help others understand Covid-19 in the face of overwhelming, false propaganda?

I know, the odds are slim because most people are unwilling to face the traumatizing possibility that they have been misled, but it’s worth trying to reduce the paranoia, frustration and depression that is rampant in areas still under extreme restrictions. To that end, consider making a print-out of all or part of this list, “Facts about Covid-19,” provided by Swiss Propaganda Research.

Include the url to the SPR site so that recipients can access the excellent source links. (Alternately, make a list of the links at the end. The sources are especially important.) Consider handing a print-out to clerks at supermarkets, hardware stores, big box stores and placing one in neighbors’ mailboxes.

I was going to compile a list myself, but I don’t think I could improve on this, except for the mention of Edward Snowden. (Also, I would add that U.S. hospitals receive $13,000 for each Covid patient and $39,000 for each patient put on a ventilator.) Here is the list, dated May 6, 2020 (it will be updated):

1. According to data from the best-studied countries and regions, the lethality of Covid-19 is on average about 0.2%, which is in the range of a severe influenza (flu) and about twenty times lower than originally assumed by the WHO.

2.Even in the global “hotspots”, the risk of death for the general population of school and working age is typically in the range of a daily car ride to work. The risk was initially overestimated because many people with only mild or no symptoms were not taken into account.

3.Up to 80% of all test-positive persons remain symptom-free. Even among 70-79 year olds, about 60% remain symptom-free. Over 95% of all persons show mild symptoms at most.

4.Up to one third of all persons already have a certain background immunity to Covid-19 due to contact with previous coronaviruses (i.e. common cold viruses).

5.The median or average age of the deceased in most countries (including Italy) is over 80 years and only about 1% of the deceased had no serious preconditions. The age and risk profile of deaths thus essentially corresponds to normal mortality.

6.In most Western countries, 50 to 70% of all extra deaths occurred in nursing homes, which do not benefit from a general lockdown. Moreover, in many cases it is not clear whether these people really died from Covid-19 or from extreme stress, fear and loneliness. (more…)

“THE masks that the compliant citizenry wears, makes them faceless and nameless. That’s is what the tyrants hope for, dehumanizing us. Nameless and faceless devilish men and women behind the scenes trample our constitutional rights and they get away by unaccountability and invisibility, distancing themselves from the constituents. But when they make the citizenry avoid each other and make laws to separate us, it is tyranny. To them, we are faceless, nameless, and invisible as individuals with Divine Rights.”

YET ANOTHER expert comes forward and disputes the wearing of face masks. Dr. Russell Blaylock writes:

“Researchers found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with use of the mask, most had preexisting headaches that were worsened by the mask wearing, and 60% required pain medications for relief. As to the cause of the headaches, while straps and pressure from the mask could be causative, the bulk of the evidence points toward hypoxia and/or hypercapnia as the cause. That is, a reduction in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or an elevation in blood C02 (hypercapnia). (more…)
