my take is this:

covid unleashed enormous amounts of fear.

fear is a sub-rational process.

the frightened want one thing: for someone to "do something" to make it stop.

so we got A LOT of "something". instead of sane advice and measured response, we got performative pandemic theater that elevated the craziest and least calibrated because that was what a panicked populace was clamoring for. doing nothing was simply not an option a civilization on limbic overload was ready to accept.

"true" was irrelevant. "clear, visible, and participatory" was the name of the game. that's catnip for sociopaths and they were happy to jump onto whatever passed for a white horse and issue loud, shouty orders. and the public was glad to get them. but it did not calm them down. being locked down and masked up made the fear MORE acute. why, after all, would we be doing all this were it not REALLY DANGEROUS out there?

it became a feedback loop. everyone wanted solutions, but none of them actually worked and the participatory act of engaging in them just increased fear and conviction of crisis and thereby demand for the next round of made up solution theater. that's cognitive dissonance for you...

and now we have massive societal bifurcation. half of society is over this. but the anxious half is not and the most anxious 20% who were always struggling to function LOVE the new normal because it has elevated their maladaptations into social virtues and granted them power over other to wield in the service of their own neuroses. this is, of course, what they always wanted.

meanwhile, those who would dominate society and seek dictator status have emerged like an opportunistic infection and pushed on every front at once because when people are scared, they are receptive to such messages. every hobbyhorse from climate to taxes to social justice to socialism has been in full flare up because the societal immune system was weak.

sure, there were conspiracies, but mostly, it was an emergent phenomenon driven by society being unable to defend itself from predatory memes.

it's all starting to blow up now. the lies have gotten too stupid and too obviously self serving. too many people have had it.

the reaction flex to all this madness is coming.

it's the fight for the history of the next 10 years and the determinant of whether we have another fascist moment like the 1930's or another bout of liberty like the 80's and 90's.

this is the part where we all need to fight.

choose wisely.

I actually think this whole mess was seen opportunistically as a path to preventing the reelection of Trump. It was mud, so they threw it at him and his political opponents, which includes most of the media, also worked hard to make the mud as pervasive and sticky as possible. I also think they succeeded more than they ever imagined, and the bureaucrats are now reluctant to admit error.

it's much bigger than America, is the thing. in many ways - and it is bizarre to write this, because it's usually the opposite - the US press has been a little downstream of the messaging. This was especially true in February/March 2020.

Frankly, I've wondered if the riots throughout the US during the summer of 2020 and the lunatic media coverage of the presidential election were designed to keep the American people distracted from what was happening in Europe and Australia/New Zealand...to keep us from recognizing that this was a global phenomenon.

Expand full comment

That does stand to reason, but I can't help but imagine an alternative reality in which the US refused to panic and instead played it cool. The world would have had to take notice.

What we did instead was find a way to turn this thing into a huge industry, the worst part of which was the inflated (though fraudulent would be a better term) case and death data, which in turn probably led to even more panic. 'If it could happen there', you know...

And this is not to mention the sway that institutions like the CDC do seem to have around the world (though for the life of me I cannot understand why), nor the money's worth we ought to be getting out of our 'investment' in global organizations like the WHO.

Just a complete and utter abdication of leadership on the world stage. Shameful.

It's not about the USA and not about Donald Trump. The "Plandemic" as some call it appears to be the brainchild of Transnational elites that saw collapsing stock markets and world wide protests in 2019 and 2020 and apparently decided they needed a mechanism for keeping the masses under control(and maybe killing some of them off to boot).

The Covid mass vaccination hysteria is about getting fussy democratic western nations like the USA onboard with Authoritarianism. The genesis of the Pandemic as mentioned above in the main article was in China. China when the Pandemic was just starting out, fed Western media(like DailyMail) phony video of people supposedly dying of Covid on the streets. That was fake and it had a purpose... the solution China offered was : LOCK EVERYONE DOWN. The main amplifiers of the Covid Vaccine and Lockdown Hysteria have been Authoritarian countries and Authoritarian wanna be countries like former penal colony Australia... along with the whiny ass media which is simply doing the bidding of Big Pharma. Some of the main Covid variants notably came from the UK, Brazil and India.. two of them with large populations(UK and India), two with Authoritarian streaks(Brazil and India) and two with sizeable Pharmaceutical industries(UK & India). It should be totally clear by now that none of this is about saving lives, but about instituting new mechanisms for controlling large numbers of increasingly angry people and maybe killing some of them off in the process.

Also don't forget.. the Cia and State Department had been badgering China on its human rights issues and then Trump comes along and whacks China with Tariffs in 2018-2020.. the Coronavirus comes out of China in late 2019,,, Western Media buys into Chinese propaganda to shut everything down, including small American businesses... China declares soon after they have totally conquered Coronavirus with Lockdowns to the point where no new cases are being found in China(Obvious Lie). Their economy takes off like a rocket in 2020 and the rest is history. I would love to see all the transnational inside connections of the World Economic Forum members and their stakes in China.

Love your comment. If I can sort of add to it a bit and (hopefully) keep the context at the same time.... One thing that surprised me more than anything else over the last almost 2 years is how many people are constantly looking for "someone to fix it" or provide that solution for them (as you mentioned). That's so far from my way of thinking that I didn't realize just how "domesticated" the world population is. People in my circle... well, we were talking about what *we* can do *ourselves* to provide the solutions. Number one for us? Taking off the flippin mask! Figuratively AND literally!

But also those who would wield power know they don't have to do all that much. They don't need a manufactured crisis, because a huge chunk of people will just go along with whatever.

They must be kicking themselves that they waited so long to introduce digital ID and check-in codes. No need to sell us a terrorism threat or climate emergency (although why not at this point).

And we who still think know that most will do nothing when crunch time comes, whether it's new surveillance infrastructure, stolen elections, the un-personing of undesirables, or alien invasion. We need to start by looking out for ourselves, and hope that alternative systems grow organically in time for whatever is coming. Any shred of hope that politics or business will see the light, or that the masses will wake up is so far gone now.

More people masked here than 12 weeks ago when our current lockdown nonsense started. Initially hardly anybody locally was complying.

I just cancelled an order and walked out of a cafe because of a sudden 'out of nowhere' slightly hysterical request for a mask. Which I initially answered along the lines of 'no I don't need one thanks' (our bill of rights protects us here). But I could swear when I thought about it a little more and decided to leave that she broke into an ear to ear grin.

I was living in California when the pandemic was declared in conjunction with immediate lockdowns, mask mandates, stay-at-home orders, closure of government offices, business closures, school closures, park closures, beach closures, bans on air travel, etc. California was the first state to lock down.

In my view, the public did not demand for any of these measures to be imposed. It ALL came from the top down - in one fell swoop. In fact, for the first couple of weeks most people did not appear to be particularly fearful; they were more quizzical, bemused, curious and inclined to wonder if it all wasn't overblown. It was like a sub-tropical version of a very long snow day.

The mood became more uncertain when "two weeks to flatten the curve" turned into successive "two MORE weeks to flatten the curve". But, at that stage it hadn't yet been politically polarized into Democrat versus Republican camps.

Mass hysteria was created gradually - from the top down - when politicians, establishment journalists and social media influencers sensationalized and polarized the situation into the central issue of the 2021 U.S. presidential election campaign. From my perspective, this political polarization of the "pandemic response" has engendered a particularly intractable and vitriolic form of mass hysteria which may be the most toxic American export of all time. Maybe the rest of the world would have gotten to the same bat-shit crazy place without the U.S., but maybe not.

I too was living in California (and unfortunately still do). Although I agree with your comment, I myself took the opposite path. I was very scared early on. I was happy to lock down! I bought all sorts of masks starting in early February; I bought huge jugs of 99% alcohol to clean with. And nobody else I knew was scared – at all. It took me until maybe May to look around and be like, “Um, hey y’all, it’s really not that bad.” By then people who thought I was paranoid early on were in full-on panic. I ended up getting in arguments with some of them, because we still thought each other were crazy, but from opposite sides than at the beginning. I have been out of touch with the zeitgeist the whole time! At this point, I know maybe twenty-five people who have “had Covid,” including my teenage son. The only person who has died is my very elderly aunt who was in a care home and had Parkinson’s and dementia. I can scarcely believe the way people I have known for years became MORE terrified the more it became clear that it simply was not that bad. Late last year, my son was going to wash the car of a lifelong friend of mine, but then my friend cancelled when he found out that we were no longer being careful or following any of the rules. He said we were playing Russian roulette. He said he wouldn’t “feel safe” if my son washed his car. Like, my son would give you Covid from washing your car? What? Another friend did not leave her house and would not even open her windows for more than a year – in case what?? A cloud of Covid might blow in? Someone sent me a text the other day VERY, VERY upset with me for “living in a fictional world,” because I’m not vaccinated and not scared. I just find all this absolutely stunning. Most people are used to it all by now, but I continue to have my mind blown daily when I think about the world I now live in. But the thing that continues to amaze me the most was the way that the more it became clear this was not an extinction-level event, the more scared people I know got. Logically, the opposite should have happened. The explanation el gato malo gives above is a great one, though – that people were made even more scared by the drama they were forced to be actors in. In my view they have given up a multitude of freedoms in order to be actors in a play. The most shocking thing about all of this for me is the way people I thought I knew, and thought I knew well, now think “freedom” is some kind of extremist concept that we must fight against, or we are not responsible adults. I am not looking forward to facing the denouement of this drama, but face it we all must. Godspeed!

The reason people have gotten more afraid, the more they realize that Covid is not what it was presented to be, is because they are being confronted with the reality that much of what the government and authorities tell people is a LIE. The saddest thing for me is that regardless of the highly evolved brain that human beings supposedly have... the majority of people seem to behave like mindless cattle eager to be herded by an authority figure. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that the Pandemic is not what it has been presented as, and has mainly been an opportunity for pharma companies to get everyone on a subscription vaccine service, and for western governments to experiment with authoritarianism. People are not dropping dead everywhere you look. In fact this U. of Pennsylvania study below (if it is to be believed) shows there were more excess deaths in the USA in 2017 than 2020 even with Coronavirus :

I'm in Canada and observed and experienced everything you said. As the science and facts about the virus showed we can live with it, the masses went into the opposite direction. The government got worse with the measures. Now we're in full blind vaccinate mode. Seems irresponsible to me. Worse, we're about to assault the kids - again . The one demographics not in danger nor are they vectors of the disease. It's ludicrous.

They live in an inverted reality. They've been buying into Covidiology to the point they're willing to sacrifice their liberties, children with the unnecessary shot and plain logic for a virus with a 99.985% survival rate. It's all so shocking, appalling and troubling. It's a moral panic and the government and media seized on it like rabid opportunists. Who know what the psychological impacts of all this will be. The boomerang effect will be epic and we will know precisely who the culprits were. I truly hope Nuremberg 2.0 happens. That's how serious I believe these crimes to be.

I too am in California and my experience at the beginning of this was the same as yours. I remember listening to our Governor, Newsom, on the radio saying 25 million Californians were going to get Covid-19. Scared me to death. But as the weeks went on and I did my own research, my fear diminished and I was one of the only ones in my small conservative mountain community, to not wear a mask at the grocery store. I could not believe it when I saw families at the store with their small children wearing masks! I felt like I was living in an alternate universe and could not believe how these people were just going along with this. Then it all became clear one day in early April when Governor Newsom said it out loud. He said this pandemic is the perfect opportunity to put forth their progressive agenda. So, there you have it, all planned so that he could enforce permanent mail-in voting ballots and never have a fair and honest election in California again. Including of course, the recall election of him. Our schools are a disaster. The kids aren't learning. A friends' HS daughter has had to endure 28 Covid nasal swab tests since school began just over 2 months ago and is doing very poorly in school when she is normally a straight A student. And now Newsom is pushing the vaccination of children 5-11 yrs old when their risk to Covid is almost non-existent. He pays no mind that most likely 60-70 % of our children have already had it or now have immunity to it. It's craziness! And I believe just plain evil. If you would have told me two years ago this would happen, I would have told you, no! , this would never happen, people would never go along with lockdowns, masking their children all day at school, destroying of small businesses, etc.....but here we are and it has happened. I believe it is all about control and pushing forth their progressive agenda. One thing is clear, they do not want what is best for us and our children. People are starting to wake up. I hope and pray so. Lord help us. And I pray He will.

I totally agree with you - it is either the 1930's or the 60's . We will get the 30's if it boils down to the vaxxed against the unvaxxed. To land the 60's, the vaxxed and the unvaxxed have to push back against this madness together.

My experience in Germany is that we are firmly on track to get the 30's:

My teenage son is not allowed to visit our local cinema because he is not vaxxed and did not have covid either. He must be tested 2-3 times a week in the school while his friends who are vaccinated do not have to. For now we are plying it like 'I am not vaccinated because of my awkward father is against it' but he is already feeling quite uncomfortable.

I grew up in, at that time communist, eastern European country and I have never seen such an outright discrimination. The really sad thing is that the majority of the locals I personally know firmly support this. Make no mistake, they are not stupid: they very much understand that the vaccines do not stop transmission. It almost looks like they enjoy being in this privileged 'Gutmensch'-club which is allowed in, while the 'unclean' must stay outside.

It feels like a one way street here. I literally have to read some blogs and comments to get rid of that feeling that I am totally insane and making this thing up. Already started looking how/where to immigrate.

I work in a large govt bureaucracy -- we are beyond incompetent. It's hardly even possible to describe to outsiders the level of stupidity that we operate within. People don't believe it. I often describe it as a merry-go -round that can never stop turning, and no one is in charge of it. People jump on and off of it, people add things to it while it is turning, and sometimes things fall of it, but it can never be improved, or corrected, because it was broken from the beginning and no one can stop it. And the odd thing is that, individually, we are all aware of the problems (most of us) and all we feel frustrated with the system, but no one seems able to change anything, at any level of the power structure. A bureaucracy is like a cancer, it grows and grows, but without actually a plan or a leader. There is of course a "leader," but this person sits on the organization like a hat -- usually appointed from a completely different realm, with no real interest or ability to change anything or make waves. Occasionally this person tries to change something, but will meet with resistance from the rest of the organization. The only way to really change it is to fire large groups of people (remove the tumor) and start over, but no one wants to do that, either. So it sits and grows and grows. Because of where I work I have zero faith in the FDA or CDC to be doing their job of "protecting" us. They have every incentive to lie and cover their asses, and zero incentives to actually help. They know that the vax doesn't kill everyone immediately, and that's good enough for them. As long as the blame can pushed away from them personally, that's all that matters.

In the same way that communists and fascists loop together to form authoritarianism or totalitarianism at one extreme, so libertarians and anarchists loop together at the opposite extreme. At the extremes there is no left-right dichotomy. I'm not sure if much remains of what used to be called centre-left and centre-right. It's all boiled down to what extent we as individuals value freedom over security.

Expand full comment

Libertarianism boils down to non-aggression. The opposite view is socialism, the notion of shaping society from the top - of course for the peope's own good or a grater one, and obviously by force.

Communists and fascists call themselves socialist. Both want to lump people in categories and persecute some for the supposed benefit of others.

Libertarians also call themselves minarchists, anarchists, or anarcho-capitalists to precise that non-aggression means respect for property.

Violent people have called themselves Anarchist, who want no State nor property: a stateless socialism. Nonsense.

Libertarianism only blow up sophisms and superstitions.

To the usual objection "where has that ever happened" I answer: Always and everywhere to some extent. Experiments at suppressing property entirely never last long, for everybody dies. Experiments at respecting it are followed by prosperity burst.

As to the "left-right dichotomy" it is philosophocally meaningless and can only be understood as contingent.

I believe that the current covid/vaccines mess is well worth analysing but above all we must discuss the conditions that expose us to such dire collective hysteria.

And that is socialism. For the reasons that I have already exposed. No such thing could happen in a free economy of healthcare.

Yes, it reminds me of Kafka as well. The last thing anyone would ever want would be an efficient government. God spare us! My level of the circus is quite low so I mostly deal with inefficiency, futility and stupidity. One example: as we review the form we make notes or corrections in the margin in red ink. We were told it must be red ink. Then after reviewing the form, we make a decision, and sign the form in a little box. This was supposed to be blue or black ink, dating from some ancient rule forbidding red ink signatures that nobody remembers. One location of the agency allowed us to sign the forms in red ink so we didn’t have to change pens. When I moved to a new location, they disallowed the signing with red pens and still required you to switch pens. When I pointed out the Handbook did not forbid the use of the red pen, they added the rule to the Handbook. The maddening part is that immediately after signing, the papers are bundled up and sent to storage where they will be shredded after six years. The record of the decision is in the computer and the paper copies will not likely never be seen by anyone again.

We even had our supposed Director of health state about 8 weeks ago that the R0 was below 1 because he obviously did not understand this basic epidemiology concept (anything under 1 by germ/viral theory is not an epidemic and therefore there was no longer any justification, even by their silly rules, for lockdown).

I don't believe we are seeing the results of "doctrine inertia". And that this whole timeline you've laid out is just the natural progression of one thing to another. While not proven, there is a lot of evidence that the virus itself was engineered and escaped. And if that is actually true then the whole timeline is orchestrated. If the virus was engineered through Fauci-funded GoF, we then have to examine how Moderna, through a partnership with NIAID, was able to code up a whole new type of vaccine within days. Moderna, who had failed to ever bring a vaccine to market, had a medicine that just needed a disease. It's the easiest "conspiracy" you'll ever put together. But I believe this is still an "Outer Conspiracy". For the Inner Conspiracy, we need to look at ultimate outcomes. How society is ultimately being transformed and sure that we have to jump forward to a yet-to-be-written Act VI (Act IV being the vaccines and Act V being the vax passports). Act VI is where it all comes together. And it's the real agenda, the real "Inner Conspiracy". It's the implosion of the global financial system, societal collapse, and the solution to save everyone from the abyss - CDBC, tied to your vax passport, hereafter to be known as your Global Digital ID.

In the next parts, I'll address some of these matters. For now:

-If the leak was accidental, the timeline could not have been orchestrated; if it was intentional, the behaviour of the virus in human populations, for a variety of reasons, could not have been foreseen.

-Different sectors of government, NGOs, Davos-adjacent operations, and other actors, have prior, long-standing agendas. These exert constant forces on what programs of action get taken up and propagated by the bureaucracy. Certain 'inner conspiracies' are more likely to succeed than others because of whose agenda items they satisfy, who they hurt, who they help, etc.

Expand full comment

If it was intentional they knew what the virus would do. They obviously knew it wasn't super deadly. All that was needed was whipping up mass hysteria and fear via 24/7 media propaganda. And that was essentially already baked in, given what we know about who controls all the media on the planet.

Expand full comment

No, it's really not that easy. The virus had been optimised in a lab, but as with all lab creations (medications included), it's not obvious from limited experiments with humanised mice or bats or whatever they were using, how it will function in the general population. The leaker faced a range of possibilities, with "goes nowhere after a few infections" being the most likely.

Expand full comment

But it really is that easy. We are seeing the result of one lab leak. How many did they leak that did in fact "goes nowhere after a few infections". They were probably releasing bat corona viruses from 2018 until they got the desired result.

Expand full comment

Then the precise timeline couldn't have been foreseen, and the global pandemic certainly not. This is an important constraint on the possibilities open to leakers, which should be taken seriously by anyone trying to build a credible theory.

Expand full comment

But....you *can* control when the name of the virus is released. There would be no pandemic without a PCR test to name and identify it. What if it wasn't the virus that was released in 2019, but rather it's "name?" Prior outbreaks and deaths could be blended into the "seasonal illness" category. The timeline seems to support that they already knew all about this "emergency" and were just rolling it out like stage play.

Expand full comment

With respect, have to disagree. Of course, the precise timeline can't be foreseen. But they knew that once they got the right virus, with the goldilocks "just right" combination of infectivity and mortality it would go global. That's what respiratory viruses do, they become endemic. They can't be contained.

Why couldn't a timeline be modelled based on SARS1 and MERS? You don't need an exact timeline when your using actions/events as markers, because the already agreed "lockstep" response works with just milestones or ITTT programming.

I believe the virus is made mad and was promoted as a means of creating fear. They couldn't create a monster virus and unleash it on mankind because it could get out of control and attack the perps themselves.

The public being in fear as in the fear of death from a deadly virus, would then require a drug or injection that would protect them. Thus, like magic, we have the mRNA gene therapy injections. But the difference is that these injections can be somewhat controlled as in only those who received them would be helped or harmed. Then if they wanted to use these injections as a means of depopulating the world, they could try and force them upon the undesirables. Those they deemed as important to the new world would not be injected.

Otherwise, there are so many open-ended questions that are not being answered, even after nearly 2 years. That tells me the worst is yet to come and that is how big pharma wants it so that any trace back to the injections can be mitigated over time. There is absolutely no reason to trust big pharma, the CDC, FDA , AMA, NIH or fauci or gates or even your doctor or hospital.

Expand full comment

Certainly not. There is no way to tell which people are honest, unless they break off from the mainstream. Doctors and nurses that rather quit than get the injections. Did anyone see where Gates said there would come another virus in 2025? Unfortunately I have not been able to find it back.

Expand full comment

Good points, but for this bit:

"the behaviour of the virus in human populations, for a variety of reasons, could not have been foreseen."

-- does that really matter? Given the propaganda/conditioning tactics implemented (and perhaps planned in advance, to be fine-tuned and tweaked along the way), the actual behavior of the virus is a moot point (barring a scenario where it turned out to be particularly lethal virus, which would have been counter to lab results and as such highly remote as an outcome).

It doesn't appear to me that the actual behavior of the virus in the wild is a substantive consideration in policies/actions taken.

well, it depends on the goals of whoever leaked it.

propaganda/ conditioning can be terrifyingly effective, but its success depends on some relationship with reality. the further removed propaganda becomes from the real world, the harder and more complicated it is to sustain it.

if the goal was anything like mass infections, then at some point, to succeed, he needed a lot of people to test positive for the virus and a subset of them to get sick enough to warrant attention.

Indeed, though part of the issue/contention (among many) is that we know testing is flawed, false-positive rates are relatively high due to Ct thresholds set above standard, criteria for classifying a covid-specific infection and death are overly broad, etc. How many covid illnesses and deaths were actually from covid? How many were general influenza or other factors? What's the percentage of conflation? We likely will never know but can guess/speculate to some degree, and perhaps also analyze raw data to help get within a ballpark range.

The point, though, is that statistics and related methods could be used -- have been used -- to make this virus seem more lethal and/or contained depending on how metrics/raw data is manipulated. Same goes for vaccine efficacy

Wales has implemented a "health pass" for big events, nightclubs etc. already extended scope once, and parliament (Senedd) votes next week on whether to extend again. My Senedd representative yesterday retweeted the UK stats "207 covid deaths, just awful" which seems to me a blatant attempt to stoke fear in advance of new mandates. I have pointed out the recent Italian Health Institute study estimating just 3% of deaths *of* covid, remainder *with* covid. Also false positives - as you point out - will play a role. I wonder how many of these "covid deaths" are actually vax injuries on the "wrong side of the balance sheet". Any suggestions for solid data on how this 207 number might actually be broken down?

If you mean, the current one, it is not novel. There was a Sars outbreak in 2003 already. After that, several patents have been taken out on it (yes that seems to happen). Obviously the government thought of making into biological warfare, but the virus was not good or bad enough. But the government ended up buying the patents anyway. The whole genome of it. So it was an existent virus, and the lawyer who looked into the patents said, the virus was already existing in nature. I don't know how he explains the upbeat now, but he quoted all the patent numbers. https://brandnewtube.com/watch/a-manufactured-illusion-dr-david-martin-with-reiner-fuellmich-9-7-21_hPChWe1no7nxGDM.html

Oh and btw I go straight to climate science if I get into a debate on this topic because I think most people who support this at the conscious lower levels have been told that's what it's about. I watched Soil a few nights ago and I suspect that it has some good points. One direction is corporate agriculture which is running out of the materials that it needs (fertilizer, oil both of them very closely related plus the poisons that are sprayed every year which kill all the good stuff as well as the 'bad' stuff) the other direction is a more natural approach which may run into quantity (can we produce enough food) issues for a few years at least. Meanwhile the first is trying to push out the second from places where it still predominates (i.e. India where Thunberg should be asked some hard questions about her role) and even trying to push out the farmers in Australia (where banks are foreclosing on viable farmers) and New Zealand (where corporates are buying up farming land to convert to forests). Maybe part of the problem, a major part even, of the increasing CO2 is from crap soil (dirt/dust). What part does pollution from dust & fires have in the warming of the Northern Hemisphere. Meanwhile I havn't had a close look lately but the WAIC is still intact, East Antarctica hasn't fallen into the ocean either and overall Antarctica is actually accruing ice not discarding it.

Agree 100%. Living in a blue state in the US, it's clear to me that they are trying to stoke division and chaos. BLM, anti-white racism, a two-tiered justice system (1/6 rioters vs George Floyd rioters), and chaos (defunding police/firing unvaccinated police; light bail for criminals) are examples of this.

None of this makes sense if seen through the lens of maintaining a coherent, functioning society. It all makes sense if destroying a nation is the goal in mind.

The Elite understand that to keep people distracted they need to pump this blue/red left/right divide and keep the two sides fighting. The governments under both Trump and Biden are doing everything they can to cause division and chaos between left and right. Biden knows he doesn't need this vaccine mandate. He is smart enough to know the Vaxxed are transmitting virus too. He is obviously not the one in control and division is what the real PTB want. Trump family was taking enormous sums of money from Russians. Biden family had some shady deals in works with Ukraine and China. Follow the money. Fox News is run by an Australian who has spent 20+ years along with his former Communist China born wife trying to turn Americans against each other. Follow the international money trail to understand who is pulling the strings. The big picture is that money flowing between large countries and corporations is being directed towards breaking apart western democracies and destabilizing them to make them more Authoritarian and more amicable to consolidation of wealth and power by the elites involved. They are colluding transnationally. You need a docile and obedient livestock population to pull this off... hence the need to beat people down who won't submit to vaccination.

My child's school has become the epicenter on how my understanding of this mass psychosis is shaped. Masks are hailed as the savior of the children to the point that all students have been forced to eat lunch outside since unmasking for meal time indoors is simply too dangerous. Parents volunteer their time to set up and take down canopies every day. When there is inclement weather, there are plexiglass barriers set up down the middle of the lunch tables. The students who sit at the ends of the tables are 'unprotected', as that child has two other unmasked kids too close to them without a plastic barrier and the parents complain. The school then spaces the children out on the floor to eat, so it is 'safe'. Parents have demanded that their child be moved to another classroom if there is a single unmasked child in the current room. Some have suggested segregating the masked vs unmasked children. One parent shelled out over $20K to purchase air purifiers for all of the elementary classrooms (an idea that is great for many purposes and something all schools should be doing anyway, but completely unrelated to the pandemic). The school saw a whopping 9 cases/week during the first few weeks of class. Parents screamed and cried that the school offer a remote option again. Cases disappeared, but the desire to jab the children remained as the only way parents could feel 'comfortable'. Here we are, the Pfizer 'vaccine' is approved for 5-11 year-olds. Within minutes of the CDC's vote yesterday, parents had already located a local pharmacy that was accepting appointments for this age group. I posted that the formulation being given to their children was not the same one used in the clinical trials and that while the pH buffering agent used may not seem like a major swap, it does raise flags and should be taken into consideration when injecting your child. The parents continued with their gleeful "appointment scheduled, so thankful" replies. The school even sent out an interest survey last week to see how many parents would want there to be a 'vaccine' clinic during school hours. IF these parents have made it to this point, where breakthrough cases are not rare, cases have plummeted locally and all available evidence proves that C19 is not a danger to any child who is not already seriously ill... I don't know how to explain this rush to jab as anything other than a psychosis. These people are literally mentally ill at this point. How long can they be brushed off as just victims of the mainstream media that can't be blamed for not knowing the truth because of what they're fed and 'don't have the time' to do any research?

“mass psychosis” indeed. The mask psychosis in Utah ended late last year when our legislators passed a law saying no mask mandates unless they approved. This took the issue out of the hands of the health department eggheads, who have never had so much power. There was lots of hand wringing over “the children” but where we live there are no mask mandates for kids. A small victory.

I will take any small victory when can get. I've always thought that there was a no-go zone when it came to small children. Everyone in society, just agreed that there are some areas where kids are off limits. One would think experimenting on them is so far over that agreed upon line that we wouldn't have an FDA and CDC greenlighting this. These jabbed kids could have annihilated immune systems and lifelong struggles. This is the hardest pill to swallow, and definitely the most heart breaking.

What happened to common sense and courage? And now we have to worry about people under this psychosis giving these shots to their small children, and it's clear that there will be long lasting damage for many. I just want to wake up from this nightmare.

They are absolutely mentally ill. North America are needle worshippers and addicted to pharmaceuticals to the point pharma is nothing but a glorified and legal drug cartel with doctors acting as the pimps and peddlers because 'science'. None of this is science. The irony is if you read medical history, the impulse is to believe we're superior but I posit the Ancient world and Middle-Ages were pound for pound more wise and intelligent. People tend to think those times were all superstition (to some degree) but what do you think we're doing with masks and social distancing? The virus is likely mostly transmitted via aerosols yet we have no adjusted our thinking one iota - thanks to the quack epidemiologists and physicians on TV likely on Pfizer's payroll. Anyway, we're strong on the 'lab technology' side of things but we've abandoned the holistic approach to health which is just as critical as it turns out. The pandemic showed us who the true great critical care doctors are and who the mediocre and compliant are.

As for the kids, this is a clear case of adults projecting their cowardice and fears onto them. Since April of 2020 we've known from several studies from around the wold and in some states that schools were safe. Nordic countries never closed their schools and if they did (Norway I believe) it was for just two weeks and they followed the evidence.

Kids were and are not in danger and they weren't vectors of the disease. In fact, whenever there were 'cases' with kids they usually contracted it from the ADULTS in a different setting. So if there's anyone who should be wearing pseudoscientific amulets on their mouths it's teachers and adults. But they all threw children under the bus. We failed the elderly and now we're about to ruin children. This is mental illness. A moral panic. To me, these are crimes being committed against a vulnerable group who rely on adults acting in good faith. They're being railroaded and terrorized instead. Is there a more contemptible group than Orders of Physicians and paediatrician associations regarding 'vaccines'?

One would hope, at the least, we have a true debate about the over reliance of vaccines in our lives. We' re using them as a means to a medical end and that's not good.

There's scientific justification for what we're doing to kids. The 0-19 age group needs to be left alone. It's very hard. I have a 16 year-old and here in Canada the anti-science and anti-human sowers of discord running this irrational place have put in a preposterous passport system to coerce people into taking this dubious medical procedure. The lines of ethics crossed and laws broken is astonishing. But Canadians being a clueless, obedient bunch take it and don't ask questions. No one wants to be smeared as 'anti-vaxx'. I personally don't care. We're all white privileged supremacist domestic terrorists anyway now. The term has no meaning or validity and anyone who uses such jargon are fools. And boy have we seen our fair share of idiotic lies and jargon these past 20 months, eh? From '15 days to flatten the curve' all the way to 'pandemic of the unvaccinated.'

And the politicians and public health officials are largely (we know who the other players are) to blame. The lack of leadership in the West is stunning. Apart from Noem, De Santis and Abbott, who showed true leadership in North America? There ae some lower level officials fighting the good fight but no one in positions of power and influence like a De Santis who governs a state with 21 million people. In Europe, Sweden under Dr. Tegnell kept their senses and were a model but everyone ignores them and choose instead to look at the whack jobs in Israel, New Zealand and Australia.

Interesting. Yes, it's true it's strongly suspected to be. They originally believed droplets (hence the masks since the thinking is masks can block larger droplets with some degree of effectiveness) and fomites were the modes of transmission and then soon it was thought to be mostly aerosols - thus rendering the masks useless. In any event, when you say needles, you mean through vaccination?

And what we're seeing now in various countries after a vaccination campaign is an uptick in hospital admissions across age ranges for a variety of health issues. This will be attempted to be blamed on the virus. Hence injection, which bypasses the immune system (whatever that may be but it's different than what we know it as) basically

“These useless vaccinations will kill some of them, and they will not save any lives.”

A thought experiment. With the hundreds of companies mandating vaccines (due to Biden’s push), there will no doubt be adverse effects and deaths resulting from them. Statistically with large enough companies, say Facebook, these are company mandated deaths. A few employees must die to potentially save lives. Of course, kids being vaxxed for something less dangerous than the flu is a menace in and of itself.

Early on fear was spreading very rapidly with 24-hour news cycles and then amplified on

social media. Even 30-40 years things would go much slower. Politicians wouldn't be under pressure to "do something". There wouldn't be hourly updates on number of cases

and hospital occupancy.

If majority of the people were not able to "work" from home and be entertained by social media

and Netflix, the bureaucrats would not be able to convince anybody into pointless measures.

Now that "public health" doctrine has metastasized, vaccine/health passports and movement restrictions have been introduced, what is the chance that this doctrine goes away with time?

Almost everything China has taught us in regards to this virus has had the effect of making our misery worse. Our elites are effectively following the instructions of a communist dictatorship that harvests organs of ethnic and religious minorities and sells them to the highest bidder. The lackeys bungling at the bottom of the Western bureaucracies are falling over each other to follow the rules of a playbook written by a ruthless genocidal dictator in a desperate effort to rise through the ranks.

It seems clear to me that China made use of the simple fact that we're governed by docile and naive people. They're the sort of people who are socially competent, agreeable and ambitious, but lack the ability to recognize when they're walking into a trap.

At this point, the only question that really matters to me in this matter is as following: Why are we receiving vaccines based off the Spike protein alone? There are two types of vaccines deployed around the world, one based off the Spike protein in Western nations and our allies, one based off the whole inactivated virus, distributed in China and to China's allies. Despite continually promising to allow Western vaccines into the country, China keeps stalling and delaying the administration of these vaccines that we're now giving to our youngest children.

If everything we know about evolutionary biology suggests that the Spike based vaccines are attenuating population-wide immunity in Western nations, then we need to be asking the question if that is really a kind of unforeseen global tragedy that nobody could have seen coming except for a handful of right wing Twitter anons, or whether we're walking into a trap.

If the inactivated vaccine works, why settle on a new technology with no idea of the long term side effects? If the inactivated vaccine doesn't work, how did scientists in the world's second largest economy miss this? There are two radically different approaches being taken here and only one can be correct.

If you think China is trying to save it's population from Covid.... you would be wrong. The LAST THING China, or India or the UK and most other countries want to do is grow their populations internally... the more the population grows in a country.. the less able that country will be able to maintain stability and control over its population. If you are trying to figure out what the Great Reset and Covid-19 Pandemic has been about, its about Population Control and Experimentation IMHO.... getting people to Drink the Koolaid when they are asked to by an authority figure...and getting more compromised Authoritarians in to positions of power in the West so they can interface more agreeably with all of the Authoritarians to the East(This process started with Trump/Russia and apparently continues under Biden). 98.98 % of people are not going to die of Covid-19.. of those that are, many are actually dying WITH Covid-19 not FROM it. The emphasis has been on forcing people to get the jab. If you can get people docile enough to accept a shot of unknown contents with no struggle.. then you can pump them full of anything. That IMHO is the game plan here. The planet is heavily populated to the point of self-destruction, and neither people or governments can seem to work together to fix the problem. You have to assume at some point the elite will follow Jim Jones' example in how to manage the population. People that think the elite care for their well being are fools. To get populations willing to do whatever the authority asks... Jim Jones / Marshall Applewhite style... The key thing it seems that they are trying to get locked in... is COMPLIANCE to the order to vaccinate.

"Certain COVID-19 vaccine candidates could increase susceptibility to HIV, warns a group of researchers who in 2007 learned that an experimental HIV vaccine had raised in some people the risk for infection with the AIDS virus. These concerns have percolated in the background of the race for a vaccine to stem the coronavirus pandemic, but now the researchers have gone public with a "cautionary tale," in part because trials of those candidates may soon begin in locales that have pronounced HIV epidemics, such as South Africa."

The spike protein in Covid-19 has an HIV type protein not found in other coronaviruses :

"Our analysis of the spike glycoprotein of 2019-nCoV revealed several interesting findings: First, we identified 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike glycoprotein that are not present in any other coronavirus reported till date. To our surprise, all the 4 inserts in the 2019-nCoV mapped to short segments of amino acids in the HIV-1 gp120 and Gag among all annotated virus proteins in the NCBI database. This uncanny similarity of novel inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag is unlikely to be fortuitous. Further, 3D modelling suggests that at least 3 of the unique inserts which are non-contiguous in the primary protein sequence of the 2019-nCoV spike glycoprotein converge to constitute the key components of the receptor binding site. Of note, all the 4 inserts have pI values of around 10 that may facilitate virus-host interactions. Taken together, our findings suggest unconventional evolution of 2019-nCoV that warrants further investigation. Our work highlights novel evolutionary aspects of the 2019-nCoV and has implications on the pathogenesis and diagnosis of this virus."

Why would this surprise anyone that the Covid-19 spike protein has unnatural similarities to HIV proteins when Mr. AIDS Top Epidemiologist Dr. Fauci himself and his NIH were funneling money to Chinese researchers working on gain of function coronavirus experiments in Wuhan China where Covid-19 originated and likely leaked?

"Nov 5 (Reuters) - British scientists have identified a version of a gene that may be associated with double the risk of lung failure from COVID-19, a finding that provides new insights into why some people are more susceptible than others to severe illness and which opens possibilities for targeted medicine.

The high-risk genetic variant is in a chromosome region that is also tied to double the risk of death in COVID-19 patients under age 60.

Around 60% of people with South Asian ancestry carry the high-risk version of the gene, researchers at Oxford University said on Friday, adding the discovery may partly explain the high number of deaths seen in some British communities, and the devastation wrought by COVID-19 in the Indian subcontinent."

Those of South East Asian ancestry carry a gene that makes them at higher risk of death... which explains the high number of deaths in UK which has a large South East Asian population.

There is a remedy for evil and it is prayer! There is a Higher Power that can overcome this but He must be invoked.

Wonderful article, I have no faith in the inner circle changing, at this point its up to the people to resist the blanket of controls put over us, until we can remove it.

Brilliant. I've had a running debate with a friend along these lines for months, with me taking your position, and my friend more along the lines of Sandpiper. You've expressed my views more clearly than I have been able to. Looking forward to more analysis on the conspiracy/emergent phenomenon/hybrid discussion, because I think it is both fascinating and very important to understanding what is happening and why. Thank you.
