Where are the fact checkers ?
Rep. Jerry Nadler claims Antifa violence in Portland is a MYTH Congressman Jerry Nadler has been raked across the coals by social media after insisting that there is no protester-instigated violence in Portland .
The lawmaker has spearheaded efforts to discredit federal police in the city .
The New York Democrat was approached by pundit and internet personality Austen Fletcher , who asked the House member if he “ disavows the violence from Antifa happening in Portland right now.
” “ That ’ s a myth that ’ s being spread only in Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clearly amused by the lawmaker ’ s answer , Fletched clarified : “ About Antifa in Portland ?
” “ Yes , ” the NY representative shot back as he walked away .
I ran into Jerry Nadler in DC and asked him to disavow the Antifa violence/rioting in Portland .
The popular political commenter then urged Nadler to “ look online ” and watch videos about what ’ s been happening in the Oregon city .
“ There ’ s fires and riots .
They ’ re throwing fireworks at federal officers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hurried into a waiting vehicle without responding .
For those who have been watching the nightly clashes in Portland , Nadler ’ s denial seemed incomprehensible .
Prominent podcast host and mathematician Eric Weinstein expressed exasperation over the lawmaker ’ s comments .
“ We are willing to spend all credibility to defend what can be INSTANTLY invalidated .
Who came up with this policy , why does it exist , and how is anyone able to maintain it without deviating from the script ?
” he wrote , including a split-screen video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chaos unfolding in Portland .
Can someone please explain to me how this works ?

Although the New York lawmaker seems unconcerned by the protesters’ behavior, he has been a vocal critic of federal agents sent to help restore order in Portland. Earlier this month, Nadler and two Democratic colleagues wrote a letter to the inspectors general for the Justice and Homeland Security departments, in which they called for an investigation into Trump’s use of a “secret police force” to “suppress First Amendment protected activities” in the city.
There has been a noticeable uptick in hostilities between protesters and officers charged with protecting Portland’s federal courthouse. On Sunday, the Portland Police had discovered a bag containing Molotov cocktails and loaded rifle magazines. The demonstrations, which began two months ago, have led to nightly skirmishes between law enforcement personnel and activists.

White House petition to investigate Gates foundation garners more than 600,000 signatures
Petitioners want the foundation to be probed for “crimes against humanity and medical malpractice”
By Charlotte Hazard
A White House petition that was launched in April to investigate Bill and Melinda Gates for “crimes against humanity and medical malpractice” has amassed six times the number of signatures needed in order to get an official response.
Created by “C.S.,” the petition states that Microsoft founder Gates should not be trusted with helping finding a cure for COVID-19. In one portion, the petition states: “At the forefront of this is Bill Gates, who has publicly stated his interest in ‘reducing population growth’ by 10–15%, by means of vaccination. Gates, UNICEF & WHO have already been credibly accused of intentionally sterilizing Kenyan children through the use of a hidden HCG antigen in tetanus vaccines.”
The petition was launched on April 10. Within days, it garnered 100,000 signatures, thereby meeting the site’s terms to review the petition, place it in front of appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.
As of Sunday night, more than 618,000 people have signed the petition.
Gates, the Microsoft founder, has been one of the world’s most generous health donors, pledging and spending billions to address the AIDS crisis, mosquito-born diseases and pandemic preparedness. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation this spring committed $1.6 billion to the Gavi vaccine alliance, and an additional $100 million to support COVID-19 vaccines in impoverished countries.
But his philanthropy has sown distrust among some fearful that Gates relies too much on technology and vaccines and the World Health Organization.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, has sharply criticized Gates for what he describes as a “messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology.”
Gates has addressed the criticisms, mostly recently two months ago after the petition began. His foundation said the attacks are often based on misinformation.
“Whenever science intervenes to stop a disease, there’s often an adjacent outbreak of misinformation,” Mark Suzman, CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, told the Wall Street Journal. “These falsehoods can spread faster than the disease itself—and cause real harm.
“Covid-19 is infectious and deadly enough. We don’t need misinformation to make it even deadlier,” he added. “Right now, one of the best things we can do to stop the spread of this disease is spread the facts.”
The petition is listed as among the most popular on the White House’s “We the People” page.

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-27--Ken’s Corner: America – A Face Made To Punch …

Being a white alpha male growing up in the inner city of New Orleans was a lot easier in 1965 than today .
We used fists most times , not always , but guns and knives were not the norm .
Something I learned in a fight that I carry to this day : a feign is the same as a punch .
If you threaten a punch , the reaction is the same as a real physical contact .
It prompts the same response , with an adrenaline rush , and the fight commences .
I feel the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Taking away free speech , due process , threats against my right to bear arms , stimulates an adrenaline rush that is just as real as an actual war , and yet we control ourselves in what is now called , a polite society… but this is growing old .
A free country who embraces Liberty from tyranny is hard pressed to control a response when the base line of his civilization is threatened .
Military men , police officers , and all others who swore an oath to protect and defend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all enemies both domestic and foreign are expected to pull back from these threats , both fake and real hits , hoping it can be resolved without a violent conflict .
In the last decade we went from 6 trillion to well over 24 trillion dollars in debt , and we are not allowed to know where that money went , and during that time we had four major threats on our ability to have weapons .
The reaction was an unprecedented purchase of guns , and the shelves cleared of munitions and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twenty years .
Not only that , but precious metal purchases have skyrocketed , stashing gold and silver in case of an economical and cultural breakdown .
What is this doing to our alpha males , when this fear is in the heart of the most viable men in a culture , men and women in constant threat from every side ?
Threats from their own government ?
Where two sides are created , intentionally and well designed to oppose each other , so a power structure can stay in place… but a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We are seeing the men behind the curtain .
The shadow government , the deep state , finally being defined : Progressive/neocon , Bolshevikism , Marxist Communism , National Socialism , are not just names , but actual incursions into our government structure , and we are now seeing what was so well hidden before President Trump .
Our eyes are opening to just how controlled we are , how enslaved we are .
Though I am all in for President Trump , there is a lot of what he does that can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 , Black Lives Matter , and Antifa scenarios currently playing out … It is a game with no rules , trying to bring back our Republic… Indeed it is a war , where two or more factions are fighting for control of the greatest country in the world , and it seems evident that the they will do anything to gain , or retain power .
Anything , even bring us into a new world war , a collapse in economies , the destruction of culture and religion , the breakdown of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justice , liberty , honor , and the promotion of fear , ignorance , lazy myopia , insecurity , and slavery of the spirit .
So , what are you going to do about it ?
Take control of your country , or pray and cry ?
How many times are you going to get hit in the face before you react ?
I ’ m not promoting violence , although our founders emphatically warned us that once Liberty is taken , only a gun will get it back , but hell , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Constitution , The Bill of Rights , and The Federalists Papers aren ’ t even mentioned in your Government-run educational system .
I guess it does prove a point that hits home to just about everyone , on every side… indeed , we will get just what we deserve .
Taking back America takes knowing just what America is , and your education is sorely lacking .
You let AMERICA slip through your fingers … … and it was the greatest gift the world has ever had .
From the Author , Ken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade , peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts .
Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions , further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty .
And so , as we are pulled by forces we can not fathom , powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future , unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt , we must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any patriot might ask in the final hour : Are we going to fight for our master ’ s tyranny , or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution ?
Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty , or the shackles of voluntary servitude ?
Will it be a war for corporate profit , or a war to regain our ability to self govern , as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us , their children , as a gift ?
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fear that any decision will be a hard one , but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us .
The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate , and for this we are grateful and excited !
But we must also be practical .
For 7 years we have not asked for any donations , and have built this project with our own funds as we grew .
We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them .
Nothing is too small .
We thank you for all your support and your considerations … ( TLB )

I feel the same way about the threats to our Constitution. Taking away free speech, due process, threats against my right to bear arms, stimulates an adrenaline rush that is just as real as an actual war, and yet we control ourselves in what is now called, a polite society… but this is growing old.
A free country who embraces Liberty from tyranny is hard pressed to control a response when the base line of his civilization is threatened. Military men, police officers, and all others who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies both domestic and foreign are expected to pull back from these threats, both fake and real hits, hoping it can be resolved without a violent conflict.
In the last decade we went from 6 trillion to well over 24 trillion dollars in debt, and we are not allowed to know where that money went, and during that time we had four major threats on our ability to have weapons. The reaction was an unprecedented purchase of guns, and the shelves cleared of munitions and food supplies that can be stored for twenty years. Not only that, but precious metal purchases have skyrocketed, stashing gold and silver in case of an economical and cultural breakdown.
What is this doing to our alpha males, when this fear is in the heart of the most viable men in a culture, men and women in constant threat from every side? Threats from their own government? Where two sides are created, intentionally and well designed to oppose each other, so a power structure can stay in place… but a new element is in the mix. We are seeing the men behind the curtain. The shadow government, the deep state, finally being defined: Progressive/neocon, Bolshevikism, Marxist Communism, National Socialism, are not just names, but actual incursions into our government structure, and we are now seeing what was so well hidden before President Trump. Our eyes are opening to just how controlled we are, how enslaved we are.
Though I am all in for President Trump, there is a lot of what he does that can not be defined, especially with the COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, and Antifa scenarios currently playing out … It is a game with no rules, trying to bring back our Republic… Indeed it is a war, where two or more factions are fighting for control of the greatest country in the world, and it seems evident that the they will do anything to gain, or retain power. Anything, even bring us into a new world war, a collapse in economies, the destruction of culture and religion, the breakdown of family, the death of truth, justice, liberty, honor, and the promotion of fear, ignorance, lazy myopia, insecurity, and slavery of the spirit.
So, what are you going to do about it? Take control of your country, or pray and cry? How many times are you going to get hit in the face before you react? I’m not promoting violence, although our founders emphatically warned us that once Liberty is taken, only a gun will get it back, but hell, you haven’t even read the Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and The Federalists Papers aren’t even mentioned in your Government-run educational system. I guess it does prove a point that hits home to just about everyone, on every side… indeed, we will get just what we deserve. Taking back America takes knowing just what America is, and your education is sorely lacking.
You let AMERICA slip through your fingers …
… and it was the greatest gift the world has ever had.

Parting Shot …

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty. And so, as we are pulled by forces we cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future, unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt, we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour: Are we going to fight for our master’s tyranny, or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution? Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude? Will it be a war for corporate profit, or a war to regain our ability to self govern, as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us, their children, as a gift? I fear that decision is emanate. I fear that any decision will be a hard one, but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us.

CHD V. FCC Press Conference: Evidentiary Brief Filing
Contributed to TLB by: The Children’s Health Defense Team
Join Robert F. Kennedy’s Children’s Health Defense for a live, virtual press conference on Thursday, July 30, 2020 at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 PT to discuss this exciting milestone in our landmark case against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) – the submission of the evidentiary brief.
To fulfill our commitment to stopping the harmful exposure of our children to 5G and wireless radiation, CHD has taken this giant step toward unprecedented litigation against the FCC and you are invited to learn more directly from our attorneys and petitioners.
The case is challenging the FCC’s refusal to review its 25-year-old obsolete wireless “health guidelines”and to promulgate scientific, human evidence-based radio frequency emissions (“RF”) rules that adequately protect public health. The FCC’s false “health guidelines” have enabled the uncontrolled proliferation of harmful wireless technology and more recently, the deployment of dangerous 5G installations.
CHD’s lawsuit asserts that the FCC’s refusal to update these guidelines despite the submission of overwhelming evidence of harm from wireless technology radiation, is capricious, arbitrary, not evidence based, and an abuse of its discretion. The success of our case will be a game changer in the battle to stop Big Tech from further damaging children and all life.
This evidentiary brief is the main submission in our case and provides the evidence upon which the petitioners rely. It cites thousands of studies, including those conducted by U.S. government agencies, and numerous reports that show clear evidence of harm. It also outlines scientifically the established mechanisms of harm from wireless radiation. Additionally, the brief shines a light on the human evidence of widespread sickness, which the FCC ignored when it egregiously closed its docket on the issue on Dec. 4 2019.
This illuminating and celebratory press conference will be held the day after CHD files its brief on July 29, 2020 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
During the live Zoom conference, we will offer an opportunity for questions from the media and our community of concerned citizens. Register today and watch children’s advocacy history in the making.
In this landmark case, CDC seeks justice for parents of children injured by wireless devices, including a mother whose son died from a brain tumor from cell phone use and cell tower exposure along with physicians who see the epidemic of sickness in their clinics daily. The submission of this brief brings us one step closer to holding the FCC accountable for its utter failure to protect the health and safety of our children and the public.
Background on The FCC’s Failures:
In 1996, the FCC adopted “health” and safety guidelines which only protect consumers from thermal levels of radiation emitted by wireless devices and infrastructure, ignoring substantial evidence of profound harm from non-thermal levels. The FCC has not reviewed these guidelines since then, despite clear scientific evidence and growing rates of RF-related sickness. In 2012, the General Accountability Office of Congress published a report recommending that the FCC re-assess its guidelines. As a result, in 2013, the FCC opened docket 13-84 asking for public comment. Despite overwhelming evidence submitted by hundreds of individuals and scientists which indicated an urgent need for new, biologically based rules, the FCC did nothing.

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-27--Yellow Vests, Real Grassroots People, Hated by Media (Video)

ER Editor : Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou give us a useful commentary drawing comparisons between real citizen protest like the Yellow Vests and the fake , very violent protests of the Antifa types in the US .
Below are some notes , but we recommend listening to the insightful commentary of Mercouris .
This is linked-to below , but we do recommend watching how Fox News obliges its presenter to cut away from a White House briefing by Kayleigh McEnany on the violence in Portland .
It ’ s stunning for its unscripted clumsiness : LINK .
The Violent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ Done Right ’ of the Yellow Vests .
• Portland Riots : What are they rioting about , what are they ‘ protesting ’ about ?
It ’ s actually hard to say .
The Oregon govt is on their side !
It ’ s a fundamental question about BLM since it began .
What kind of revolution is this if is intended to put Biden in the White House ?
It ’ s not a revolution , but a COUNTER-revolution to rescue the Democratic Party oligarchy .
Now these riots have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in many places is escalating .
Public opinion is now going against them , so it ’ s backfiring – as it was bound to do .
There is a comeback in the polls for Trump .
We need to remember that the Dems , Deep State , Hollywood , Neoliberals , Globalists , etc .
are simply trying to burn the whole country down up to November in order to get Trump removed at election time .
They ’ ve used the virus , Russia-gate , the death of George Floyd , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work , Americans are assumed to be completely stupid !
They can see what is going on and who ’ s doing it .
Let ’ s not forget that it is the primary job of any Govt in a democratic and constitutional country to maintain law and order .
They can also see that Trump is trying to restore order .
Those against Trump are so deluded and unbalanced that they have lost sight of this .
They are completely disconnected from reality .
It is absurd to allow a violent crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ votes for the candidate who allows this .
Frankly , they are dangerous people who should never be trusted with power .
It ’ s clear they are very angry , dangerous and deluded .
Now for a comparison : Yellow Vests vs. Portland-style rioters , and the media ’ s role in it .
Why are the Yellow Vests a REAL protest vs. the trainwreck of Portland ?
• Political motivations : The Yellow Vest movement is truly of the ordinary French people because their political and , above all , economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is widely accepted .
The govt is no longer functioning in their interests at all ; the political system is being manipulated to disqualify candidates .
Taxes are undermining ordinary people ’ s livelihoods while the economy is not good .
The govt wants to subsume France in the EU and the globalist project , which is rightly seen as going against ordinary people ’ s interests .
The nation and its symbols are despised .
Again , we have to ask what the Portland Antifa people are really protesting about .
History @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s hard to say .
French people have been forced into protest , but the Portland types are being manipulated by the political elite .
• There are also operational differences .
In France , the overwhelming level of violence has come from the govt , authorities and police directed against the Yellow Vests .
In the US , the police are being undermined by govt authority through defunding and criticism , etc .
; those committing the violence are the ‘ protestors ’ .
Finally , Yellow Vests never target small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defending French culture and history as well as their economy .
• These two sets of protests are totally different .
Yellow Vests are crying out against their own oppression ; the Portland type of riots are orchestrated by a powerful political faction in the US aiming at taking power .
In France , the media are against the Yellow Vests ; they are for the Portland rioters in the US .
The media is owned on both sides by the same type of people .
The MSM stance says it all .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ mention that these protests are working in Trump ’ s favour .
Remember that Trump never wanted this violence in the first place !
His Mt .
Rushmore speech was very effective and a moment for him to turn things around , although the media distorted it .
• Constitutionally , Trump is in the right , protecting federal buildings , etc .
It ’ s a no-brainer legally .
If local authorities like those in Portland don ’ t defend govt property , then it ’ s beholden on the federal govt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a duty to defend the United States .
Those ‘ troops ’ sent in to defend public order are not actually troops .
Any other interpretation is a mis-reading of the law .
The US govt does have legal power to send in troops in case of breakdown of order .
It was done by Democrat Lyndon Johnson in the ’ 60s , for example .
The Duran ’ s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the Portland riots and the difference between what is happening in Portland with violent ANTIFA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and what happened during a real grassroots protest with the Yellow Vests in France .

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-27--Sweden: the One and Only Chart That Matters

The secret of Sweden ’ s success is that its experts settled on a strategy that was realistic , sustainable and science-based .
The intention was never to “ fight ” the virus , which is among the most contagious infections in the last century , but to protect the old and vulnerable while allowing the young , low-risk people to circulate , contract the virus , and develop the antibodies they ’ d need to fight similar pathogens in the future .
It ’ s clear now that that was the best approach .

The secret of Sweden’s success is that its experts settled on a strategy that was realistic, sustainable and science-based. The intention was never to “fight” the virus, which is among the most contagious infections in the last century, but to protect the old and vulnerable while allowing the young, low-risk people to circulate, contract the virus, and develop the antibodies they’d need to fight similar pathogens in the future. It’s clear now that that was the best approach. And while Sweden could still experience sporadic outbreaks that might kill another 2 to 300 people, any recurrence of the infection in the Fall or Winter will not be a dreaded “Second Wave”, but a much weaker flu-like event that will not overwhelm the public health system or kill thousands of people.
As we’ve noted before, the media has been particularly vicious in their criticism of Sweden’s approach which they’ve characterized as overly “relaxed.” Check out this sampling of recent headlines:

As you can see, the media has taken a very hardline with Sweden. But, why? What has Sweden done that has provoked such a hostile response?
Nothing, really. They’ve just shrugged off the repressive stay-at-home orders and pursued their own independent policy. The Swedish approach stands in stark contrast to the lockdowns, which are costly, ineffective and socially damaging. Here’s an excerpt from an article at The Evening Standard that underscores these very points:
“Lockdowns made little difference to the number of people who have died from coronavirus, a study has claimed. Researchers from the University of Toronto and University of Texas found that whether a country was locked down or not was “not associated” with the Covid-19 death rate. Experts compared mortality rates and cases in 50 badly-hit countries up until May 1 and calculated that only 33 out of every million people had died from the virus…The study found that imposing lockdown measures succeeded in stopping hospitals becoming overwhelmed, but it did not translate into a significant reduction in deaths. “Government actions such as border closures, full lockdowns, and a high rate of Covid-19 testing were not associated with statistically significant reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality,” the study, published in the Lancet online journal EClinicalMedicine, said.”
(“Coronavirus lockdown ‘made no difference to number of deaths but stopped hospitals being overwhelmed”, Evening Standard)
Bottom line: Lockdowns don’t work, but the media continues to support them. Why?
Because the media is owned by elites who see lockdowns as an effective way to exert greater control over the population. The real issue is power, not efficacy or saving lives. The Swedish model undermines this effort by providing a viable alternative that challenges lockdowns and leads countries out of crisis. That’s why Sweden has been treated with such open hostility, because elites see crisis management as a useful tool for making the structural changes they want to impose on the political and economic systems. Billionaire oligarchs do not see crises as ‘periods of intense disorder or distress’, but golden opportunities that can be exploited to their advantage.
Sweden is also criticized for its fatality rate, which is higher than some but lower than others. As of today, the number of Coronavirus deaths in Sweden is 5,667, which is considerably higher than its neighbors in Norway and Denmark but lower than Belgium, Italy, France, the UK and Spain. In other words, Sweden is somewhere in the middle of the pack. Interestingly, Sweden compares quite well to poorly-governed states in the US with similar-sized populations. Take a look:
Sweden: No Lockdown
Population of 10.2 million
Coronavirus deaths –5,667
Population of 10.2 million Coronavirus deaths –5,667 Lockdown State#1: New York City (Democrat Governor, Andrew Cuomo)
Population– 8.3 million
Coronavirus deaths– 32,133 (5 and a half time more than Sweden with 2 million less people)
(Democrat Governor, Andrew Cuomo) Population– 8.3 million Coronavirus deaths– 32,133 (5 and a half time more than Sweden with 2 million less people) Lockdown State#2: New Jersey (another Democrat governor, Phil Murphy)
Population– 9.2 million (1 million less than Sweden)
Coronavirus deaths– 15,684 (nearly 3 times as many as Sweden with a smaller population.)
(another Democrat governor, Phil Murphy) Population– 9.2 million (1 million less than Sweden) Coronavirus deaths– 15,684 (nearly 3 times as many as Sweden with a smaller population.) Lockdown State#3: Massachusetts (another Democrat Governor, Charlie Baker)
Population– 6.9 million #.3 million less than Sweden)
Coronavirus deaths– 8,380 (1 and a half times Sweden’s total with 3 million less people.)
These are the real Coronavirus losers, the three states that are run by liberal governors who imposed counterproductive lockdowns that collapsed their economies, killed tens of thousands of people, and did nothing to staunch the spread of the infection. In contrast, Sweden has weathered the storm nicely, built up the public’s innate immunity and put the economy back on the road to recovery. Take a look:
“Unlike most European countries, Sweden didn’t impose strict lockdown measures. Now it’s reaping the rewards — economically speaking, at least. A report from Capital Economics published on Tuesday found that the Swedish economy was the least harmed in Europe, describing it as the “best of a bad bunch.” Though Sweden was not immune to the pandemic’s economic impact, it was the only major economy to grow in the first quarter of the year, the report noted…. “The Swedish economy has weathered Covid well, thanks in part to the government’s light-touch lockdown, and our forecast of a 1.5% drop in GDP this year is well above consensus,” the economists Andrew Kenningham, David Oxley, and Melanie Debono wrote.” (“Sweden weathers 2020’s economic storm better than anywhere else”, Business Insider)
Readers might want to compare the facts about Sweden’s economy with the spurious claims made by New York Times. Here’s an excerpt from a piece titled “Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale”:
“Not only have thousands more people died (in Sweden) than in neighboring countries that imposed lockdowns, but Sweden’s economy has fared little better. “They literally gained nothing,” said Jacob F. Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “It’s a self-inflicted wound, and they have no economic gains.”… The elevated death toll resulting from Sweden’s approach has been clear for many weeks. What is only now emerging is how Sweden, despite letting its economy run unimpeded, has still suffered business-destroying, prosperity-diminishing damage, and at nearly the same magnitude of its neighbors.”…In short, Sweden suffered a vastly higher death rate while failing to collect on the expected economic gains.” (“Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale”, New York Times)
Huh? So, Sweden “gained nothing”, says the Times? Really??
As the report from Business Insider confirms, the Swedish economy “was the least harmed in Europe”, the “best of the bunch” (and) “the only major economy to grow in the first quarter of the year, the report.” Sweden is progressively ramping up its activity while the United States is still stuck in the mud. The Times is deliberately misleading its readers to continue its war on Sweden. That’s not journalism, it’s agenda-driven propaganda.
Did you know that the Swedish infectious disease expert Dr. Johan Giesecke warned leaders in the lockdown countries that cases and deaths would rise sharply when the lockdowns were lifted?
One would assume that our leaders would be smart enough to figure that out before hand and tweak the policy accordingly, but that didn’t happen. So, now, when Fall rolls around and the deaths begin to mount, then what??
Then the state governors will re-impose the same onerous restrictions that were in place before, which will increase unemployment and intensify the deepening economic slump. Meanwhile, Sweden will be in the process of rebooting its economy, putting people back to work, and enjoying the benefits that accrue from independent thinking and strong leadership. This is from an article at Reuters:
“Sweden’s top epidemiologist said on Tuesday a rapid decline in new critical COVID-19 cases alongside slowing death rates indicated that Sweden’s strategy for slowing the epidemic… was working. Chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell of the public health agency said a rapid slowdown in the spread of the virus indicated very strongly that Sweden had reached relatively widespread immunity… “It really is yet another sign that the Swedish strategy is working,” Tegnell said. It is possible to slow contagion fast with the measures we are taking in Sweden.”(“Swedish epidemiology boss says questioned COVID-19 strategy seems to be working”, Reuters)
Of course “it’s working”. Why wouldn’t it work? Our species has survived thousands of years thanks to our complex and adaptive immunity system that develops protective antibodies and killer T-cells that fight off flues, viruses and all-manner of harmful infectious diseases with or without vaccines. This is the brilliance of Sweden’s strategy, to allow the infection to spread among the country’s healthier, low-risk members until the virus petered-out from lack of any new hosts.
And now the strategy has worked. Common sense has prevailed. This is from Bloomberg News:
“Sweden’s top health authority says people who have had the novel coronavirus are likely to be immune for at least six months after being infected, whether they’ve developed antibodies or not….A recent study from King’s College London showed that the level of antibodies may drop to a degree that makes them undetectable as soon as three months after infection. However, the body also mounts other forms of immunity responses, including from so-called T-cells, which appear to play an important role in protecting against reinfection with Covid-19.

What does it all mean?
It means that probably only 1 in every 7 people will contract the virus regardless of their exposure. It means that a greater portion of the population have natural immunity than we thought. It means that antibody testing does not tell the whole story but that T-cells and cross-immunity also prevent transmission to otherwise healthy people. It means that Covid-19 is not the Black Plague that’s going to live up to the manipulative hype that has been used to precipitate the biggest social, economic and political crisis of the last century. It means that the idiot lockdowns did not prevent new cases and deaths but merely postponed them to a later date.
It means that Sweden was on the right track from the very beginning and is rapidly returning to normal while the US sinks deeper into a crisis of its own making.
