Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do. --- Senator Dr. Scott Jensen, Minnesota
MOST readers have probably encountered the theory that the coronavirus is merely a premeditated cover-up for illness caused by the installation of 5G wireless technology. This theory is literally all over the Internet. Its pervasiveness alone should be a tip-off that something is not right. I want to warn readers emphatically against this theory. It will likely be used to discredit the devastating health case against 5G. I am not an expert on these issues. I look for those who know much more than I do. I support this statement by the Children's Health Defense Fund: Thousands of peer reviewed scientific studies link wireless technology, including 5G, to a grim inventory of deadly and dangerous injuries. Children’s Health Defense (CHD) does not find sound scientific evidence to support the hypothesis that 5G is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the spread of this hypothesis provides a strategic advantage to Big Telecom and Big Data. Allowing these companies to focus the debate on COVID-19 has given them pretext to censor discussion of 5G and to shift the debate to a battlefield where the science is hypothetical and weak. We therefore urge health advocates to focus discussion on proven harms. It continues: There is ample pervasive human evidence of 5G and wireless harms. CHD’s work, including our historic lawsuit against the FCC for its false and obsolete health guidelines, is a potent threat to the wireless industry and its…
FROM Fox News: A 15-year-old male from a remote indigenous tribe in the Amazon rainforest has tested positive for the coronavirus, Brazilian health officials said. As of Friday, the teen from the Yanomami tribe remains in the ICU at a hospital in Roraima state, Insider.com reported, citing the O Globo newspaper. Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta was quoted saying that the case is “worrying” considering the tribe’s isolation from the outside world. The fact is, coronaviruses are pervasive in nature and there really is no such thing as a completely remote area on earth. But why is this story being trumpeted? The health condition of one person in Brazil doesn't come to the attention of Fox News without orchestration, even under present pandemic conditions. I believe it is meant to ramp on the fear a notch, but also explode the theory that coronavirus is caused by 5G technology. Once it can be proven that people in areas with no wireless technology have the virus, then the 5G theory has been shown to be ridiculous. (See more about 5G and coronavirus here.)
ROGER W. writes from Brasilia, Brazil:
When people I know, and there have been quite a few, try to tell me that there must be something which should seriously worry us about the virus itself – otherwise the authorities and media would not be treating it as such a world-shaking catastrophe – I like to remind them that these are the very same authorities and media who began informing us several months ago that we had to treat the notion that men can menstruate with the utmost seriousness and respect, or risk getting in trouble for defying their version of established orthodoxy.
This observation doesn’t seem to win many immediate converts to the side of proportionality and sanity, but it does tend to shut my interlocutors up faster and with less effort than when I waste my time trying to explain how statistics actually work, and need to be used for results derived from them to be in any way meaningful. (The latter tack can be blithely dismissed via hand-waving appeals to Authority in any case, with the additional bonus for the individual in question that they do not have to exert themselves in the slightest to understand the actual issues at stake.) Who knows, perhaps a small kernel of rational thought is actually being planted in the still-functioning parts of their minds too — I can but hope! (more…)
"LET US, then, love this sacred sepulchre, which is to give us life. We have thanked Him for having died for us upon the cross; let us thank Him, but most feelingly, for having humbled Himself, for our sake, even to the tomb." Don Prosper Guéranger, The Liturgical Year, "Holy Saturday"
THE more it becomes obvious that Covid-19 is far from a global or national health catastrophe, the more new propaganda is needed to ramp up the fear in order to keep this black operation afloat.
Hence the face mask, now mandated by either law or social pressure even in places where the incidence of illness from this flu-like virus, serious only in people who are already sick or frail, is in the decline or hardly exists at all. A reader writes from Panama, where there have been allegedly 74 deaths:
Many countries in the world including Panama if one dare to go out with no certificate medical face mask, in order to buy basic needs on supermarkets, pharmacy, pets business for food medicines for your pets and farm livestock, last minute medical life and deaths emergency for humans or pets or livestock in clinic or vets or hospitals, etc…you will be PUNISHED with fines and send to jail as if you are a highly dangerous criminal!
Both healthy people and Wuhanvirus-infected people are obligated to use medical masks for whatever reason you go out of our house!
Improvised “face masks” and even homemade sewing ones are ANATHEMA and not allowed, only certified medical ones that are now a days IMPOSSIBLE to find or buy in any store or online and that are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE for the majority of the poor low class humans population on the planet!
The scientific case for mask-wearing by the general healthy population is non-existent, according to the Italian nano-pathologist Dr. Stefano Montanari, who has studied the transmission of pathogens in modern environments and who states:
Viruses exist in enormous quantities and can enter in enormous quantities inside the cells, which are a few thousandths of a millimeter wide. Wearing a mask compares with raising a gate to prevent mosquitoes from entering your house.
I believe a mask hoax is at work not because I have studied nano-particles but for simple, common sensical reasons. If mass mask-wearing were so effective in controlling illness, why have we never adopted them before, even among the sick? It’s odd –isn’t it? — that its mass adoption for the first time ever in the West should coincide with an unprecedented transfer of wealth and takedown of the American economy (and economies elsewhere), a takedown which can only succeed if the general public thinks it is absolutely necessary.

FROM Exposing the Myth of Germ Theory by Arthur M. Baker, quoted here:
People have been educated to be terrified of bacteria and to believe implicitly in the idea of contagion: that specific, malevolently-aggressive disease germs pass from one host to another. They also have been programmed to believe that healing requires some powerful force to remove whatever is at fault. In their view, illness is hardly their own doing.
The ‘germ era’ helped usher in the decline of hygienic health reform in the 19th century and, ironically, the people also found a soothing complacency in placing the blame for their ill health on malevolent, microscopic ‘invaders’, rather than facing responsibility for their own insalubrious lifestyle habits and their own suffering.
Pasteur was a chemist and physicist and knew very little about biological processes. He was a respected, influential and charismatic man, however, whose phobic fear of infection and belief in the “malignancy and belligerence” of germs had popular far-reaching consequences in the scientific community which was convinced of the threat of the microbe to man. Thus was born the fear of germs (bacteriophobia), which still exists today. Before the discoveries of Pasteur, medical science was a disorganised medley of diversified diseases with imaginary causes, each treated symptomatically rather than at their root cause. Up to this time, the evolution of medical thought had its roots in ancient shamanism, superstition and religion, of invading entities and spirits. The profession searched in vain for a tangible basis on which to base its theories and practices. Pasteur then gave the profession the “germ”. (more…)
"LET us stand in wonder, rejoice, be glad, love, praise and adore since it is by the death of our Redeemer, that we have been called from death to life, from exile to our own land, from mourning to joy." --- St. Augustine Reflections on the Seven Last Words of Christ by St. Alphonsus Liguori may help you benefit from the great wonders of this mournful day, the significance of which no events in the world can diminish in the slightest.
HUNDREDS of composers have put to music the 13th-century poem The Stabat Mater, which recounts the sorrow of Mary as she witnessed the Crucifixion. Pergolesi finished this famous version in 1736. The Ultimate Stabat Mater Site, started by a man with no religious background, is devoted exclusively to the music.

Rhyming English translation by Beatrice E. Bullman
Mother bowed with grief appalling must thou watch, with tears slow falling, on the cross Thy dying son!
Through my heart, thus sorrow riven, must that cruel sword be driven, as foretold – O Holy One!
Oh, how mournful and oppressed was that Mother ever-blessed, Mother of the Spotless One:
She, whose grieving was perceiving, contemplating, unabating, all the anguish of her Son!
Is there any, tears withholding, Christ’s dear Mother thus beholding, in woe – like no other woe!
Who that would not grief be feeling for that Holy Mother kneeling – what suffering was ever so?
For the sins of every nation she beheld his tribulation, given to scourgers for a prey: (more…)

KATHERINE writes: Thanks so much for your great posts on the coronavirus. My apartment house is on a fairly busy street in Olde Towne, Portsmouth, Virginia. On a typical day, there used to be on my street at least two or three ambulances (and fire trucks) with sirens blasting. There have been none for the past week anyway – and I’m home almost all the time now. Hmmm . . . seems strange to me, given that a lot of elderly people live in this neighborhood. This morning I ran into my downstairs neighbor – she is an RN and works the night shift at Norfolk General/Sentara Hospital in Norfolk. She said that their patient load is so low that medical personnel are being sent home! She said they are all puzzled by our governor’s recent call for volunteers to help with the “Coronavirus crisis” (I did not know he said that). Her parting words to me: “Don’t believe what you hear on TV!” I hope and pray this ends soon! It’s all insane. Everyone is treating other people as bioweapons!
“SOCIETY will develop a new kind of servitude which covers the surface of society with a network of complicated rules, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate. It does not tyrannise but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.” ---- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
"IF there had been no intervention, the epidemic would have been over" by now in the United States, says Professor Knut Wittkowski, for twenty years head of The Rockefeller University's Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design. The elderly should have avoided social contact and stayed home, he says, but the rest of the population should have gone about their business. That way, what is called "herd immunity" would have been achieved more quickly. Universal social distancing is an unscientific and harmful practice. It is a medical superstition promoted by powerful political forces. It has brought untold financial and psychological harm to America. It will leave shuttered businesses, suicide, alcoholism, despair and marital breakdown in its wake. It has enabled extreme financial plunder. It has left millions of people in circumstances of dire isolation and left many others demoralized and confused. The fact that some have undoubtedly enjoyed the break from routine and the chance to spend more time with their families does not offset its many negative consequences for the vulnerable. Update: States that didn't shut down their economies have lower death rates from corona than states that did. Is there any better proof that at the very least social distancing was not necessary?
THE in-your-face, unabated, pervasive repetition of dubious Covid death figures motivates me to show you some more amazing statistical anomalies. According to the Center for Disease Control, the Covid death toll for the United States was 3,307 as of April 4 and the death toll for all of the lying city of New York was 1,712. Now look at the figures provided by The New York Times, as of April 6: 10,936 for the entire country and 4,786 for New York City. That's almost a threefold difference on the national level and more than twice as high for the lying city of New York, discrepancies too great to be attributed to the extra two days. The Times says the death rate as of today is 14,613, which is close to five times the death rate of the CDC as of four days ago. The New York Times' figures come from the "New York Times database of cases and deaths, based on data from state and local health agencies, hospitals and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; U.S. Census Bureau." Does this mean the Times contacts all 50 state agencies and tens of thousands of local agencies and hospitals? It is safe to assume no, it does not. It would take weeks to do any such thing reliably and a staff much larger than that of the newspaper. And anyway, why should we trust the Times's calculations on an issue so critical? Its slick graphics, with…

Just wanted to drop you a quick note commending the excellent work you are doing at your site exposing the fraud this thing is and the untold damage it has done to the economic system, upending the lives and the futures of countless of our countrymen. Otherwise intelligent, reasonable people have abandoned all reason over this thing. And that’s because our vaunted “leaders” and “experts” have somehow, in this particular case, managed to convince them that they are not liars straight from the pits of the lowest Hell, and the fathers of it.
Here is something I wrote to one of these persons just yesterday evening at his website:

IN ALL the information about Covid on the Internet, I have found nothing so far that really explains why some countries are heavily hit and others have relatively few cases. Take, for instance, Spain and Portugal. This is from a new website, Coronacircus: For example, let’s compare Spain and Portugal. The two countries are neighbors, juxtaposed on the Iberian Peninsula. Spain has 92 people per square kilometer, Portugal 114.5; the latter is therefore slightly more densely populated. They enjoy a similar level of development. They share a border of 1,214 km, the longest uninterrupted border within the European Union. One study says Portugal was quicker to take measures to combat Covid-19, but actually both national governments declared the highest level of alert at the same time (12th March for Portugal, 13-14th March for Spain). Spain’s restriction on international travel is to this day much more restrictive than Portugal. And yet, as of this writing, Portugal has 11.57 deaths per million inhabitants, versus 145.6 deaths per million inhabitants in Spain. In other words, Spain has suffered, so far, more than 12.5 times more deaths than its neighbor Portugal when adjusted for population. What the heck is going on here?
