Fighting the Invisible Enemy

How much thought does the average American put into their Rights on a daily basis ?
Perhaps not much , but that is all about to change .
For generations the Supreme Court has called protection of the individual ’ s rights the bedrock of American principles .
Those who ratified our Bill of Rights knew how vital these rights were to the very preservation of all liberty .
Among these rights are those that our founders would formally declare as being absolutely essential to life itself ; freedoms of religion , speech , press , assembly , along with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arms , security of personal property , and indispensable rights of due process .
Today these rights are at risk from an “ invisible enemy.
” In 1788 , the State of Virginia was refusing to ratify the Constitution without greater safeguards for these individual rights .
In that same year , Richard Henry Lee , Congressman from Virginia , described our Bill of Rights , the enumeration of rights of the individual in our Constitution , as : Unfortunately , we have entered into that “ interval of inattention ” as very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ identified in the First Amendment ; national polls put the number at less than 2 % .
If we do not know what our Rights are , how do we know they are not already gone ?
How will we know when people in power , either through good or malicious intent , move against our Rights ; we can not defend what we can not define .
Our founders lived in the midst of the greatest tyranny America has ever known .
It was wrecking their churches , destroying their businesses , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Even in their day of limited technology they knew who the enemy was ; not a King , not a country , not even a virus .

They knew from personal experience that when essential liberties of the people are even partially limited by government force , they are never truly restored .
Our founders spoke incessantly of the importance of fully securing our individual rights .
Those who fought to secure our liberties today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their Rights and could easily identify their violations .
Today our dearth of education in American history is only surpassed by the misinformation we are fed about the purpose and power of government .
How easily this designed ignorance makes us fall prey to the undying argument that its necessary to “ temporarily suspend ” our Rights for some new and frightening boogey man .
Perhaps today we are being presented with the ultimate power poltergeist : an “ invisible enemy ” that can only be seen by those in government .
Because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face and no foreseeable end , we are told that it is necessary to temporarily suspend our rights for the safety of the community .
However , all of history screams out to us in horror , “ Rights are NEVER suspended temporarily , and safety is a ravenous phantom that can never be satisfied .

Fighting the Invisible Enemy

How much thought does the average American put into their Rights on a daily basis? Perhaps not much, but that is all about to change. For generations the Supreme Court has called protection of the individual’s rights the bedrock of American principles. Those who ratified our Bill of Rights knew how vital these rights were to the very preservation of all liberty. Among these rights are those that our founders would formally declare as being absolutely essential to life itself; freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, along with the individual right to keep and bear arms, security of personal property, and indispensable rights of due process. Today these rights are at risk from an “invisible enemy.”
In 1788, the State of Virginia was refusing to ratify the Constitution without greater safeguards for these individual rights. In that same year, Richard Henry Lee, Congressman from Virginia, described our Bill of Rights, the enumeration of rights of the individual in our Constitution, as:
“Visible boundaries, constantly seen by all, and any transgression of them is immediately discovered: they serve as centinels for the people at all times, and especially in those unavoidable intervals of inattention.” (sic)
Unfortunately, we have entered into that “interval of inattention” as very few Americans can name all five liberties identified in the First Amendment; national polls put the number at less than 2%. If we do not know what our Rights are, how do we know they are not already gone? How will we know when people in power, either through good or malicious intent, move against our Rights; we cannot defend what we cannot define.
Our founders lived in the midst of the greatest tyranny America has ever known. It was wrecking their churches, destroying their businesses, and tearing apart families and homes. Even in their day of limited technology they knew who the enemy was; not a King, not a country, not even a virus. The understood the enemy to be anything that jeopardized the inherent and individual rights of the people. They knew from personal experience that when essential liberties of the people are even partially limited by government force, they are never truly restored. Our founders spoke incessantly of the importance of fully securing our individual rights.
“Liberty must at all hazards be supported We have a right to it derived from our Maker.” (sic) John Adams 1765
“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved.” (sic) Samuel Adams 1775
“Give me Liberty or give me death.” Patrick Henry 1775
Those who fought to secure our liberties today were firmly educated and intimately associated with their Rights and could easily identify their violations. Today our dearth of education in American history is only surpassed by the misinformation we are fed about the purpose and power of government. How easily this designed ignorance makes us fall prey to the undying argument that its necessary to “temporarily suspend” our Rights for some new and frightening boogey man.
Perhaps today we are being presented with the ultimate power poltergeist: an “invisible enemy” that can only be seen by those in government. Because of a virus, that has no face and no foreseeable end, we are told that it is necessary to temporarily suspend our rights for the safety of the community. However, all of history screams out to us in horror, “Rights are NEVER suspended temporarily, and safety is a ravenous phantom that can never be satisfied. Once your rights are surrendered, they are never peacefully restored.”
The mantra, “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one” is a Marxist principle not just a line from Star Trek dialogue. This ideology is not what America was founded upon, quite the opposite. Our governments, since the foundation of our States in 1776 are based upon the fundamental principle that the sole purpose of government is the secure the Rights of the INDIVIDUAL, not to appease the collective. The cornerstone of American government is the responsibility of the people to self-govern. It is not selfish for a person to demand full protection and security of their individual rights to freedom of religion, speech, assembly, and property. On the contrary, it is wholly selfish for the community to demand that the force of government deprive individual rights because there are a few who refuse to act responsibly in securing their own health and welfare. Mass curfews and quarantines are not the American way, they are the communist way. The American way says that we do not use force to compensate for the irresponsibility of the few.
Our State Constitutions and the Constitution of these United States were established as written standards to protect the individual from the will of the majority, to secure the rights of the minority. Ironically the needs of the many argument used today to justify a cry for national curfews, business closure, and forced quarantine, justified by the needs of the many, is the same argument used throughout history to justify slavery and the involuntary and indefinite incarceration of innocent people, even in America’s history. If residents wish to voluntarily follow guidelines and act responsibly, then so be it. But when business owners, Pastors of churches, and Sheriffs’ defending rights, refuse to obey any of these unconstitutional mandates, they are not acting lawlessly because it is actually those in government who are violating the Supreme Law of the land. These individuals are enforcing the law in the face of lawless government.
Our founders had very strong words for those in power who attempted to interfere with these inherent and essential rights. Benjamin Franklin, writing under the pseudonym of Silence Dogood wrote in 1722 that only “Publick Traytors” (sic) would attempt to subdue these Rights. He also remarked that when a person cannot freely express these Rights they live in a “wretched country” where he has no property rights.
In 1774 Thomas Gage, Governor of the colony of Massachusetts, issued a law outlawing all public meetings except one a year, but only when proper permit was obtained from Gage. Those who would write our First Amendment classified Gage’s actions as an act of war against the people. As soon as Gage issued his order 300 people assembled in Salem to protest the limit on their freedom of speech & assembly. Gage would send troops to disband the protest only to see an additional 3,000 people immediately assemble and chase his troops away. Thomas Jefferson issued instructions to the Virginia Congress in which he declared Gage’s law as an act of “Treason” and “the most alarming Process that ever appeared in a British Government.”
Now more than ever we must hold tight to the principles that founded America. Through the full application of true America principles, we can defeat any enemy while simultaneously securing the individual liberties of the people. We are about to travel a road our founders traveled, so let us pick up the wisdom of experience and move in the proper direction. Samuel Adams said,
“Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude and perseverance. Let us remember that “if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom,” it is a very serious consideration … that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event.”
What we do, what we allow those in government to do over the next few weeks, will determine the future fate of people in America and around the world. We cannot give into the “invisible enemy” and their siren song of the “necessity” which sets a precedent for our inherent rights to be brushed aside so easily. William Pitt The Younger gives this wisdom to our generation:
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.” 1787
When facing an alleged threat today, we must pause to ask, “will this make it easier for our essential rights to be dismissed tomorrow?” Are building a future where are descendants view that which is fundamental as something granted and taken at the whim of rulers and masters? Didn’t we found this Constitutional Republic to escape that very scenario? Will a viral threat change our identity and have us cease to be America? What we do in the next few weeks will inevitably answer these questions.

thelibertybeacon--2020-03-24--PETER HITCHENS: Is shutting down Britain – with unprecedented curbs on ancient liberties – REALLY th

PETER HITCHENS: Is shutting down Britain – with unprecedented curbs on ancient liberties – REALLY the best answer?

Some years ago I had the very good luck to fall into the hands of a totally useless doctor .
It was hell , and nearly worse than that , but it taught me one of the most important lessons of my life .
He was charming , grey-haired , smooth and beautifully dressed .
He was standing in for my usual GP , a shabbier , more abrasive man .
I went to him with a troubling , persistent pain in a tender place .
He prescribed an antibiotic .
Days passed .
It did not work .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in that case I needed surgery , and the specialist to whom he sent me agreed with barely a glance .
I was on the conveyor belt to the operating table .
In those days , I believed , as so many do , in the medical profession .
I was awed by their qualifications .
Yet the prospect of a rather nasty operation filled me with gloom and doubt .
As I waited miserably for the anaesthetist in the huge London hospital to which I had been sent , a new doctor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ session of being asked ‘ Does this hurt ?
’ and replying , between clenched teeth , that yes it blinking well did .
But this third man was different .
He did not ask me pointlessly if it hurt .
He knew it did .
He was , crucially , a thinking man who did not take for granted what he was told .
He looked at my notes .
He actually read them , which I don ’ t think anyone else ever had .
He swore under his breath .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to return shortly afterwards to say I should get dressed and go home .
The operation was cancelled .
All I needed was a different antibiotic , which he – there and then – prescribed and which cured the problem in three days .
He was furious , and managed to convey tactfully that the original prescription had been incompetent and wrong .
The whole miserable business had been a dismal and frightening mistake .
He was sorry .
Heaven knows what would have happened if Providence had not brought that third doctor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slightly to think of it .
But the point was this .
A mere title , a white coat , a smooth manner , a winning way with long words and technical jargon , will never again be enough for me .
It never , ever does any harm to question decisions which you think are wrong .
If they are right , then no harm will be done .
They will be able to deal with your questions .
If they are , in fact , wrong , you could save everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here I am , asking bluntly – is the closedown of the country the right answer to the coronavirus ?
I ’ ll be accused of undermining the NHS and threatening public health and all kinds of other conformist rubbish .
But I ask you to join me because , if we have this wrong , we have a great deal to lose .
I don ’ t just address this plea to my readers .
I think my fellow journalists should ask the same questions .
I think MPs of all parties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tomorrow to pass into law a frightening series of restrictions on ancient liberties and vast increases in police and state powers .
Did you know that the Government and Opposition had originally agreed that there would not even be a vote on these measures ?
Even Vladimir Putin might hesitate before doing anything so blatant .
If there is no serious rebellion against this plan in the Commons , then I think we can commemorate tomorrow , March 23 , 2020 , as the day Parliament died .
Yet , as far as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more about running out of lavatory paper .
Praise must go to David Davis and Chris Bryant , two MPs who have bravely challenged this measure .
It may also be the day our economy perished .
The incessant coverage of health scares and supermarket panics has obscured the dire news coming each hour from the stock markets and the money exchanges .
The wealth that should pay our pensions is shrivelling as share values fade and fall .
The pound sterling has lost a huge part of its value .
Governments all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , frantic measures which make Jeremy Corbyn ’ s magic money tree look like sober , sound finance .
Much of this has been made far worse by the general shutdown of the planet on the pretext of the coronavirus scare .
However bad this virus is ( and I will come to that ) , the feverish panic on the world ’ s trading floors is at least as bad .
And then there is the Johnson Government ’ s stumbling retreat from reason into fear .
At first , Mr Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demands to close down the country .
But bit by bit he gave in .
The schools were to stay open .
Now they are shutting , with miserable consequences for this year ’ s A-level cohort .
Cafes and pubs were to be allowed to stay open , but now that is over .
On this logic , shops and supermarkets must be next , with everyone forced to rely on overstrained delivery vans .
And that will presumably be followed by hairdressers , dry cleaners and shoe repairers .
How long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the streets , as in any other banana republic ?
As for the grotesque , bullying powers to be created on Monday , I can only tell you that you will hate them like poison by the time they are imposed on you .
All the crudest weapons of despotism , the curfew , the presumption of guilt and the power of arbitrary arrest , are taking shape in the midst of what used to be a free country .
And we , who like to boast of how calm we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our ancient hard-bought freedom and actually want to rush into the warm , firm arms of Big Brother .
Imagine , police officers forcing you to be screened for a disease , and locking you up for 48 hours if you object .
Is this China or Britain ?
Think how this power could be used against , literally , anybody .
The Bill also gives Ministers the authority to ban mass gatherings .
It will enable police and public health workers to place restrictions on a person ’ s ‘ movements and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ contact with others ’ .
Many court cases will now take place via video-link , and if a coroner suspects someone has died of coronavirus , there will be no inquest .
They say this is temporary .
They always do .
Well , is it justified ?
There is a document from a team at Imperial College in London which is being used to justify it .
It warns of vast numbers of deaths if the country is not subjected to a medieval curfew .
But this is all speculation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrongly , that the coronavirus has ‘ comparable lethality ’ to the Spanish flu of 1918 , which killed at least 17 million people and mainly attacked the young .
ER : We published an article on this , containing a video about the Spanish flu , which has nowhere near the mortality of today ’ s COVID-19 .
The story we published was about MSM sources – Wikipedia and The Guardian – manipulating historical data to make today ’ s virus appear more lethal .
See Wikipedia , Guardian Suddenly Downplay 1918 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one say to this ?
In a pungent letter to The Times last week , a leading vet , Dick Sibley , cast doubt on the brilliance of the Imperial College scientists , saying that his heart sank when he learned they were advising the Government .
Calling them a ‘ team of doom-mongers ’ , he said their advice on the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak ‘ led to what I believe to be the unnecessary slaughter of millions of healthy cattle and sheep ’ until they were overruled by the then Chief Scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added : ‘ I hope that Boris Johnson , Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance show similar wisdom .
They must ensure that measures are proportionate , balanced and practical.
’ Avoidable deaths are tragic , but each year there are already many deaths , especially among the old , from complications of flu leading to pneumonia .
The Department of Health and Social Care ( DHSC ) tells me that the number of flu cases and deaths due to flu-related complications in England alone averages 17,000 a year .
This varies greatly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last season ( 2018/19 ) to 28,330 deaths in 2014/15 .
The DHSC notes that many of those who die from these diseases have underlying health conditions , as do almost all the victims of coronavirus so far , here and elsewhere .
As the experienced and knowledgeable doctor who writes under the pseudonym ‘ MD ’ in the Left-wing magazine Private Eye wrote at the start of the panic : ‘ In the winter of 2017-18 , more than 50,000 excess deaths occurred in England and Wales , largely unnoticed.
’ Nor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people off too soon .
In the Government ’ s table of ‘ deaths considered avoidable ’ , it lists 31,307 deaths from cardiovascular diseases in England and Wales for 2013 , the last year for which they could give me figures .
This , largely the toll of unhealthy lifestyles , was out of a total of 114,740 ‘ avoidable ’ deaths in that year .
To put all these figures in perspective , please note that every human being in the United Kingdom suffers from a fatal condition – being alive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the UK for one reason or another .
A similar figure applies in Italy and a much larger one in China .
The coronavirus deaths , while distressing and shocking , are not so numerous as to require the civilised world to shut down transport and commerce , nor to surrender centuries-old liberties in an afternoon .
We are warned of supposedly devastating death rates .
But at least one expert , John Ioannidis , is not so sure .
He is Professor of Medicine , of epidemiology and population health , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statistics at Stanford University in California .
He says the data are utterly unreliable because so many cases are going unrecorded .
He warns : ‘ This evidence fiasco creates tremendous uncertainty about the risk of dying from Covid-19 .
Reported case fatality rates , like the official 3.4 per cent rate from the World Health Organisation , cause horror and are meaningless.
’ In only one place – aboard the cruise ship Diamond Princess – has an entire closed community been available for study .
And the death rate there – just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so many of those aboard were elderly .
The real rate , adjusted for a wide age range , could be as low as 0.05 per cent and as high as one per cent .
As Prof Ioannidis says : ‘ That huge range markedly affects how severe the pandemic is and what should be done .
A population-wide case fatality rate of 0.05 per cent is lower than seasonal influenza .
If that is the true rate , locking down the world with potentially tremendous social and financial consequences may be totally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elephant being attacked by a house cat .
Frustrated and trying to avoid the cat , the elephant accidentally jumps off a cliff and dies.
’ Epidemic disasters have been predicted many times before and have not been anything like as bad as feared .

Some years ago I had the very good luck to fall into the hands of a totally useless doctor.
It was hell, and nearly worse than that, but it taught me one of the most important lessons of my life. He was charming, grey-haired, smooth and beautifully dressed. He was standing in for my usual GP, a shabbier, more abrasive man.
I went to him with a troubling, persistent pain in a tender place. He prescribed an antibiotic. Days passed. It did not work. The pain grew worse. He declared that in that case I needed surgery, and the specialist to whom he sent me agreed with barely a glance. I was on the conveyor belt to the operating table.

As I waited miserably for the anaesthetist in the huge London hospital to which I had been sent, a new doctor appeared. I braced myself for another session of being asked ‘Does this hurt?’ and replying, between clenched teeth, that yes it blinking well did. But this third man was different. He did not ask me pointlessly if it hurt. He knew it did. He was, crucially, a thinking man who did not take for granted what he was told.
Here I am, asking bluntly – is the closedown of the country the right answer to the coronavirus? writes PETER HITCHENS. Pictured: London’s streets were nearly deserted today
He looked at my notes. He actually read them, which I don’t think anyone else ever had. He swore under his breath. He hurried from the room, only to return shortly afterwards to say I should get dressed and go home. The operation was cancelled. All I needed was a different antibiotic, which he – there and then – prescribed and which cured the problem in three days. He was furious, and managed to convey tactfully that the original prescription had been incompetent and wrong.
The whole miserable business had been a dismal and frightening mistake. He was sorry. Heaven knows what would have happened if Providence had not brought that third doctor into the room. I still shudder slightly to think of it. But the point was this. A mere title, a white coat, a smooth manner, a winning way with long words and technical jargon, will never again be enough for me.
It never, ever does any harm to question decisions which you think are wrong. If they are right, then no harm will be done. They will be able to deal with your questions. If they are, in fact, wrong, you could save everyone a lot of trouble.
And so here I am, asking bluntly – is the closedown of the country the right answer to the coronavirus? I’ll be accused of undermining the NHS and threatening public health and all kinds of other conformist rubbish. But I ask you to join me because, if we have this wrong, we have a great deal to lose.
I don’t just address this plea to my readers. I think my fellow journalists should ask the same questions. I think MPs of all parties should ask them when they are urged tomorrow to pass into law a frightening series of restrictions on ancient liberties and vast increases in police and state powers.
Did you know that the Government and Opposition had originally agreed that there would not even be a vote on these measures? Even Vladimir Putin might hesitate before doing anything so blatant. If there is no serious rebellion against this plan in the Commons, then I think we can commemorate tomorrow, March 23, 2020, as the day Parliament died. Yet, as far as I can see, the population cares more about running out of lavatory paper. Praise must go to David Davis and Chris Bryant, two MPs who have bravely challenged this measure.
It may also be the day our economy perished. The incessant coverage of health scares and supermarket panics has obscured the dire news coming each hour from the stock markets and the money exchanges. The wealth that should pay our pensions is shrivelling as share values fade and fall. The pound sterling has lost a huge part of its value. Governments all over the world are resorting to risky, frantic measures which make Jeremy Corbyn’s magic money tree look like sober, sound finance. Much of this has been made far worse by the general shutdown of the planet on the pretext of the coronavirus scare. However bad this virus is (and I will come to that), the feverish panic on the world’s trading floors is at least as bad.
And then there is the Johnson Government’s stumbling retreat from reason into fear. At first, Mr Johnson was true to himself and resisted wild demands to close down the country. But bit by bit he gave in.
The schools were to stay open. Now they are shutting, with miserable consequences for this year’s A-level cohort. Cafes and pubs were to be allowed to stay open, but now that is over. On this logic, shops and supermarkets must be next, with everyone forced to rely on overstrained delivery vans. And that will presumably be followed by hairdressers, dry cleaners and shoe repairers.
How long before we need passes to go out in the streets, as in any other banana republic? As for the grotesque, bullying powers to be created on Monday, I can only tell you that you will hate them like poison by the time they are imposed on you.
All the crudest weapons of despotism, the curfew, the presumption of guilt and the power of arbitrary arrest, are taking shape in the midst of what used to be a free country. And we, who like to boast of how calm we are in a crisis, seem to despise our ancient hard-bought freedom and actually want to rush into the warm, firm arms of Big Brother.
Imagine, police officers forcing you to be screened for a disease, and locking you up for 48 hours if you object. Is this China or Britain? Think how this power could be used against, literally, anybody.
The Bill also gives Ministers the authority to ban mass gatherings. It will enable police and public health workers to place restrictions on a person’s ‘movements and travel’, ‘activities’ and ‘contact with others’.
Many court cases will now take place via video-link, and if a coroner suspects someone has died of coronavirus, there will be no inquest. They say this is temporary. They always do.
Well, is it justified? There is a document from a team at Imperial College in London which is being used to justify it. It warns of vast numbers of deaths if the country is not subjected to a medieval curfew.
But this is all speculation. It claims, in my view quite wrongly, that the coronavirus has ‘comparable lethality’ to the Spanish flu of 1918, which killed at least 17 million people and mainly attacked the young.
ER: We published an article on this, containing a video about the Spanish flu, which has nowhere near the mortality of today’s COVID-19. The story we published was about MSM sources – Wikipedia and The Guardian – manipulating historical data to make today’s virus appear more lethal. See Wikipedia, Guardian Suddenly Downplay 1918 Spanish Flu Death Rate–Why?
What can one say to this? In a pungent letter to The Times last week, a leading vet, Dick Sibley, cast doubt on the brilliance of the Imperial College scientists, saying that his heart sank when he learned they were advising the Government. Calling them a ‘team of doom-mongers’, he said their advice on the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak ‘led to what I believe to be the unnecessary slaughter of millions of healthy cattle and sheep’ until they were overruled by the then Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir David King.
He added: ‘I hope that Boris Johnson, Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance show similar wisdom. They must ensure that measures are proportionate, balanced and practical.’
Avoidable deaths are tragic, but each year there are already many deaths, especially among the old, from complications of flu leading to pneumonia.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) tells me that the number of flu cases and deaths due to flu-related complications in England alone averages 17,000 a year. This varies greatly each winter, ranging from 1,692 deaths last season (2018/19) to 28,330 deaths in 2014/15.
The DHSC notes that many of those who die from these diseases have underlying health conditions, as do almost all the victims of coronavirus so far, here and elsewhere. As the experienced and knowledgeable doctor who writes under the pseudonym ‘MD’ in the Left-wing magazine Private Eye wrote at the start of the panic: ‘In the winter of 2017-18, more than 50,000 excess deaths occurred in England and Wales, largely unnoticed.’
Nor is it just respiratory diseases that carry people off too soon. In the Government’s table of ‘deaths considered avoidable’, it lists 31,307 deaths from cardiovascular diseases in England and Wales for 2013, the last year for which they could give me figures.
This, largely the toll of unhealthy lifestyles, was out of a total of 114,740 ‘avoidable’ deaths in that year. To put all these figures in perspective, please note that every human being in the United Kingdom suffers from a fatal condition – being alive.
About 1,600 people die every day in the UK for one reason or another. A similar figure applies in Italy and a much larger one in China. The coronavirus deaths, while distressing and shocking, are not so numerous as to require the civilised world to shut down transport and commerce, nor to surrender centuries-old liberties in an afternoon.
We are warned of supposedly devastating death rates. But at least one expert, John Ioannidis, is not so sure. He is Professor of Medicine, of epidemiology and population health, of biomedical data science, and of statistics at Stanford University in California. He says the data are utterly unreliable because so many cases are going unrecorded.
He warns: ‘This evidence fiasco creates tremendous uncertainty about the risk of dying from Covid-19. Reported case fatality rates, like the official 3.4 per cent rate from the World Health Organisation, cause horror and are meaningless.’ In only one place – aboard the cruise ship Diamond Princess – has an entire closed community been available for study. And the death rate there – just one per cent – is distorted because so many of those aboard were elderly. The real rate, adjusted for a wide age range, could be as low as 0.05 per cent and as high as one per cent.
As Prof Ioannidis says: ‘That huge range markedly affects how severe the pandemic is and what should be done. A population-wide case fatality rate of 0.05 per cent is lower than seasonal influenza. If that is the true rate, locking down the world with potentially tremendous social and financial consequences may be totally irrational. It’s like an elephant being attacked by a house cat. Frustrated and trying to avoid the cat, the elephant accidentally jumps off a cliff and dies.’
Epidemic disasters have been predicted many times before and have not been anything like as bad as feared.

AMERICAN LIBERTY REPORT
Here’s the announcement that former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made in 2018, during the early stages of Robert Mueller’s witch hunt: “The indictment charges 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the United States’ political system, including the 2016 presidential election.”
Barack Obama’s old Harvard buddy Rod Rosenstein was as giddy as a schoolgirl when he made the announcement. He could barely contain himself. Here, at long last, was the fabricated “proof” that Hillary Clinton was really his president. But just this week, the Justice Department sheepishly admitted that it was all a lie.
Mueller’s team of “I’m with Hillary” prosecutors waited until the media Coronavirus panic was sufficiently distracting everyone to quietly dismiss all of the charges against the Russian companies that spent a few bucks selling pro-Bernie T-shirts on Facebook.

Dr Anthony Fauci is now the President of the United States
Jon Rappoport
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and infectious Diseases .
HEADLINE: “In Dr. Fauci we Trust.” (Daily Beast)
The Daily Beast writes about Fauci: “…as he guides the nation through the coronavirus crisis…stands at the White House with President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence…introduce[s] actual truth to the coronavirus briefings…Fauci has been in charge from the start.”
The ECONOMIC DEVASTATION now consciously set in place, in the US, as a result of lockdowns, will last…how long?
If Fauci and his cohorts at the CDC and the World Health Organization say two months, the devastation will be two months. If they say six months, it will be six months. If they say a year, it will be a year.
Fauci is the medical front man. He announces how long “the epidemic” will persist. That, in turn, equals how long the lockdowns will persist, which in turn equals how long the smashing of the economy will go on.
As president, Fauci trumps Trump. Trump has been put in a box, checked and double checked.
As I’ve been establishing in many articles (full archive here), the epidemic itself is a misnomer: the dubious discovery of a new virulent virus; worthless, deceptive, useless diagnostic tests for the coronavirus, rendering case numbers meaningless; people suffering from a variety of traditional disease conditions and several new non-viral conditions, all re-labeled under the empty umbrella term, “COVID-19”; the media pumping of fear; medical/public health authorities put in charge of national policy; escalating mass surveillance and social distancing; AND THEREFORE BOTH THE BEGINNING OF THE “EPIDEMIC” AND ITS END ARE MANDATED BY ARBITRARY EDICT.
Not science. Not fact.
In an expanding number of countries, we are looking at medical coup. Palace revolution.
Media are blaring “coronavirus coverage” wall to wall and repressing the full picture of the economic war against the people, and its human cost.
Workers living from paycheck to paycheck, laid off. Rents not paid. Businesses close. Owners go broke. Small investors lose their shirts. Savings dwindle. Public venues shut down.
Picture this. In a small city, the university suspends classes. The majority of students go home. Overnight, all the money students would spend locally drains away. A week later, an order comes through: restaurants and bars must close. Workers are laid off. The owners, who were operating on small margins, are squeezed to the hilt and beyond. There is a major tourist attraction in town, a theme park. It shuts down. Tourist trade, which was already drying up, goes flat. A whole variety of shops shut their doors. Then, an order: non-essential stores must stop doing business, unless they can somehow limit traffic to ten customers at a time. A huge botanical garden and two museums close. Their employees are without jobs. And all this is just the beginning of the damage…the citizens themselves hunker down. They start abandoning their homes and moving in with friends and family—more people in smaller spaces…yet they try to practice social distancing. Hospitals in town are dealing with more and more people, who come in with coughs, sniffles, ordinary flu, long-term lung conditions and the belief they could be infected by the virus. Doctors are under the gun. They’re forced to diagnose some of these people as “presumptive COVID cases.” That means general wards will not do—because of “the contagion factor,” such patients must be shunted into ICU. But there are not enough beds…
Medical edicts run the whole country.
“This is not politics. This is science and concern and containment and healing.”
No. This is a coup.
This is an economic war.
An attack on freedom.
The front man, the president of the United States, is Anthony Fauci.
And in other countries? Read this, from Haaretz, in Israel:
“Israel’s PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES CHIEF (my caps) told an emergency meeting of lawmakers on an intelligence panel earlier this week that the key to eradicating the coronavirus pandemic relies on the enforcement of strict isolation measures, and the timing of introducing that policy.”
“In her remarks to the Knesset Subcommittee on Intelligence and Secret Services on Monday, concerning the Shin Bet security service’s monitoring of coronavirus patients, Sigal Sadetsky referenced the Chinese handling of COVID-19. She told the panel’s chairman, MK Gabi Ashkenazi (Kahol Lavan), that it all depends on ‘when you start it and how strongly you do it,’ and that she believes ‘everyone will do the same thing’.”
“When MK Yoav Kish (Likud) sought to clarify whether she meant a total lockdown or curfew, Sadetsky replied: ‘A lockdown and personal monitoring of people, AND A TOTAL HALT TO PERSONAL FREEDOMS’.”

There is a large volume of academic literature on “ the social determinants of health ” and “ deaths of despair ” caused by increases in the unemployment rate .
The pioneering work in this field was conducted by Harvey Brenner ( then at Johns Hopkins University ) on behalf of the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress in the mid 1970s .

According to the U.S. Census bureau , the U.S. population was 205.1 million in 1970 and 327.2 million in 2018 — an increase in the population of 59.5 % .

A more recent meta analysis of 42 studies conducted in 15 countries on the relationship between unemployment and all-cause mortality found that unemployment increased the risk of dying by 63 % ( Roelfs et al .
2011 ) .

While a recession seems highly likely at this point , it is anyone ’ s guess how long it will last .

The magnitude of the association between unemployment and mortality is higher for men than women and higher in early career and middle career workers than older workers ( Roelfs et al.

If government wants to minimize total fatalities from this crisis it must do better modeling .
Greater use of personal protective equipment and improved medical interventions will bend the curve and should be acted upon immediately .

Will “Deaths of Despair” Outpace Deaths From Coronavirus?
Contributed to TLB by: The Children’s Health Defense Team
By: Toby Rogers, Ph.D.
By most accounts, modeling of the coronavirus epidemic by researchers at Imperial College London convinced the Trump administration to call for extreme social distancing (no more than 10 people gathered) in order to “flatten the [growth] curve” of the coronavirus epidemic. The Imperial College London modeling also became the basis for the 100 page “U.S. Government COVID-19 Response Plan.”
The Imperial College London model is woefully inadequate. It does not model increased use of personal protective equipment in the general public such as face masks. It does not model medical interventions that have shown promise in reducing fatalities including chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin, and intravenous L-ascorbic acid. And the Imperial College London model does not take into account “deaths of despair” from a sharp rise in unemployment that will be triggered by sheltering in place for weeks, months, or years (the “U.S. Government COVID-19 Response Plan” estimates that the “pandemic will last 18 months or longer”).
… the relationship between unemployment and all-cause mortality found that unemployment increased the risk of dying by 63%. … the relationship between unemployment and all-cause mortality found that unemployment increased the risk of dying by 63%.
The social determinants of health
There is a large volume of academic literature on “the social determinants of health” and “deaths of despair” caused by increases in the unemployment rate. The pioneering work in this field was conducted by Harvey Brenner (then at Johns Hopkins University) on behalf of the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress in the mid 1970s. Reviewing U.S. historical data over the period 1940 to 1973, Brenner found that:
…a 1% increase in the unemployment rate sustained over a period of six years has been associated (during the past three decades) with increases of 36,887 total deaths, including 20,240 cardiovascular deaths, 920 suicides, 648 homicides, 495 deaths from cirrhosis of the liver, 4,227 state mental hospital admissions, and 3,340 state prison admission.
Brenner’s estimates held up in subsequent studies of England & Wales, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. It should be noted that there is also a large volume of literature that is critical of the Brenner model (see e.g. Cohen & Felson, 1979).
Brenner’s estimates are based on population figures from 1970. According to the U.S. Census bureau, the U.S. population was 205.1 million in 1970 and 327.2 million in 2018 — an increase in the population of 59.5%. So the actual increase in mortality caused by a 1% increase in the unemployment rate today (if it persisted for five years) might be closer to 58,834 lives lost. A more recent meta analysis of 42 studies conducted in 15 countries on the relationship between unemployment and all-cause mortality found that unemployment increased the risk of dying by 63% (Roelfs et al. 2011).
So how many additional deaths will be caused in the U.S. by the increase in the unemployment rate caused by government orders to shelter in place? That depends on a lot of factors including the number unemployed and the length of unemployment. The official unemployment rate in February 2020 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was 3.5%. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin warned lawmakers of the possibility of a 20% unemployment rate from coronavirus shutdowns unless Congress passes a $1 trillion stimulus plan (although he walked the statement back the next day). New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota all report 10- to 12-fold increases in the filing of unemployment claims last week.
…it is still unclear whether even a massive federal stimulus will be enough to reduce the surge in unemployment that has already started… …it is still unclear whether even a massive federal stimulus will be enough to reduce the surge in unemployment that has already started…
The coronavirus economic crash
Two-thirds of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. With many states and cities moving towards various forms of lockdown, extreme social distancing, and sheltering in place (terms that were unheard of even a week ago) it is unclear whether even a massive federal stimulus will be enough to reduce the surge in unemployment that has already started in the United States.
The 2008 financial collapse shows that once the economy slows to a standstill, it takes years to bring it back up to full speed again. A study by Schularick & Taylor (2012) of recessions in 14 countries over the period 1870–2008 shows that it takes two years for a country to recover from a normal recession whereas it took 10 years to recover from the Great Depression. While a recession seems highly likely at this point, it is anyone’s guess how long it will last.
Let’s examine 3 scenarios: lower bound, mid-range, and upper bound. Following the Brenner (1976) model, these figures all reflect the estimated cumulative impact of an increase in unemployment on mortality over a five-year lag period.
Lower bound. If the unemployment rate increases by 5 points as a result of the various lockdowns, then 294,170 additional lives will be lost, not from coronavirus, but from deaths of despair.
Mid-range. If the unemployment rate increases by 16.5 points (as predicted by Treasury Secretary Mnuchin), then 970,761 additional lives will be lost to deaths of despair.
Upper bound. And if the unemployment rate increases by 10-fold — which is what we are already seeing in several states — then 1,853,271 lives will be lost to deaths of despair from government orders to lock down, shut down, and shelter in place.
…deaths of despair from crashing the economy via lockdowns will significantly add to the final death toll and may end up surpassing fatalities from the virus itself. …deaths of despair from crashing the economy via lockdowns will significantly add to the final death toll and may end up surpassing fatalities from the virus itself.
The magnitude of the association between unemployment and mortality is higher for men than women and higher in early career and middle career workers than older workers (Roelfs et al., 2011, p. 849). It seems reasonable to assume that the coronavirus economic crash will also disproportionately impact the poor and working classes who lack sizable financial reserves.
A wide range of authors are now raising questions about the advisability of widespread lockdowns of indeterminate length (see: Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal, David L. Katz, Thomas Friedman, Russell Berman, and Romer & Garber).
If government wants to minimize total fatalities from this crisis it must do better modeling. Greater use of personal protective equipment and improved medical interventions will bend the curve and should be acted upon immediately. Deaths of despair must be modeled along with deaths from coronavirus based on realistic, verifiable, independent data on prevalence and mortality rates. As it stands right now, deaths of despair from crashing the economy via lockdowns will significantly add to the final death toll and may end up surpassing fatalities from the virus itself.

thelibertybeacon--2020-03-24--Our Masters Are Now Exposed & There Will Be Hell To Pay

Our Masters Are Now Exposed & There Will Be Hell To Pay What do you do when you find a tightly knit , deep state oligarchy exposed behind a black curtain to be manipulating your worst nightmares since the day you were born ?
A people you trusted , with your life ’ s savings from your own toil , your loving religion eaten away from the inside out , your hero ’ s that inspired you in movies that they mass produced were indeed evil and vile , with subliminal messages that ruined the minds of your children .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ made profits , on both sides of war , for over a hundred years , and they had the ability to print money out of thin air… and it was so powerful that they alone controlled where that money went… unaccountable even to the President , their lobby so big , so powerful , they control elections , hand picking every president since Kennedy .
What if it became know that the pharmaceutical industry , that they owned and operated , was designed to make you sick , and not well .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was owned by just six corporations… owned by the same conspiring mindset , manipulating minds by half truth , rewriting history , propaganda , and hiding the truth of their overwhelming influence by a taboo they formulated , that turned out to be false by investigative journalism .
What if you find out that the drug trade was operated by them , abortion , and that the Bolshevik Revolution that threatened Western Civilization , killing at least 100 million people with the creation of Marxist Communism , was created by them , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City… What would you do if you found out you were betrayed ?
That your country became a Oligarchy in 1871 when they made America a Corporation under Maritime Law , and that your Constitution and civil liberties has been bypassed from that time on ?
What would you do when everything you think do and say is being recorded and fed into an AI computer they control ?
That the future you try and formulate is dominated and controlled by manipulating interest rates , the stock market , and that they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that over seven trillion is missing .
And the fact that this isn ’ t even mentioned , doesn ’ t scare you ?
Anger you ?
Just that fact alone , that Liberty is dead , and you are a product of voluntary servitude , doesn ’ t even push a button in you , but , perhaps , an overwhelming fear… what do you do when you risked your life to fight what you were told was Communism , and you find that the same people who call themselves Progressives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cause to keep the fake battle 50/50 .
Always 50/50 .
And that this so called Communism was installed by them so you could fight ?
So they could profit on both sides , and when the dust settles , send their carpet baggers who buy up everything for pennies on the dollar… but why ?
Because there is slavery there , no unions , child labor laws , no need for safety regulations or insurance .
Think about what pain and suffering these men have brought to this world by fake Christians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : Beware of fake Jews .
for they lie .
They belong to the Synagogue of Satan .
“ The very word “ secrecy ” is repugnant in a free and open society ; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies , to secret oaths and to secret proceedings…Our way of life is under attack .
Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe…no war ever posed a greater threat to our security .
For we are opposed around the world by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion , on subversion instead of elections , on intimidation instead of free choice , on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day .
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit , highly efficient machine that combines military , diplomatic , intelligence , economic , scientific and political operations .
Its preparations are concealed , not published .
Its mistakes are buried , not headlined .
Its dissenters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expenditure is questioned , no rumor is printed , no secret is revealed.
” … JFK Ok , everyone wants to talk Corona virus… let ’ s talk about it .
Let ’ s talk about how China was fighting against the Hong Kong protesters that were waving American flags and praising Trump… .
gone .
Let ’ s discuss how Trump has been tough on China and trade and theft of intellectual property .
Now China threatens to withhold the ingredients for medicines .
Let ’ s talk about how the democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for everything since he was elected and have come out and said they hoped the stock market would crash to make him look bad .
Let ’ s talk about how we had a Harvard professor of bio chem working secretly for the Chinese and getting paid really well , while lying about his connections .
We all have seen what these leftist college professors have indoctrinated our young people and how nasty they ’ ve been towards anyone that supports Trump .
We ’ ve all seen how far the left and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power and how the media has been used to promote their fake stories .
Now we see them blame Trump for a Chinese virus and use the dem media to scare people and destabilize our markets .
Let ’ s talk about the Chinese girl that they ’ re looking for , that they think is now back in China , that had access to our defense department and military .
How about the Chinese guy they busted at the airport with vials of bio materials hidden in his sock !
How about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Fienstein ?
Let ’ s talk about how there ’ s not more talk about protests in Venezuela .
How about the fact that there ’ s a bio lab in Wuhan , near that market they blamed and the professor had ties to that lab .
Now China is trying to blame the virus on our military… makes no sense…since when do we have troops in China ?
How about Nancy Pelosi trying to sneak in abortion funding into the funding bill for the virus .
Let ’ s talk about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being talked about now… .
like Hunter and Joe Biden ’ s corruption in Ukraine or how Nancy and Schiff abused power in congress to continue this never ending witch hunt against our President .
So all you sheep , ..go ahead and beat each other over toilet paper .
You ’ re now getting a taste of socialism at it ’ s finest .
Lack of supplies , waiting in line , media scaring everyone while screwing the economy and only telling you what they think you should know .
Let ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re not going to treat the elderly because it ’ s too much and they want to treat the young people.. there ’ s your socialized death squad medicine for you .
Go ahead and panic like Democrats want .
The rest of us that are still sane and are the last bastions of common sense aren ’ t going to panic , … We ’ re not falling for the BS and yes , we will still vote Trump !
One more for the road … From the Author , Ken La @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 formulate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .

Our Masters Are Now Exposed & There Will Be Hell To Pay
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.” – Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
Commentary by TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive
What do you do when you find a tightly knit, deep state oligarchy exposed behind a black curtain to be manipulating your worst nightmares since the day you were born? A people you trusted, with your life’s savings from your own toil, your loving religion eaten away from the inside out, your hero’s that inspired you in movies that they mass produced were indeed evil and vile, with subliminal messages that ruined the minds of your children. What if you realized these people have made profits, on both sides of war, for over a hundred years, and they had the ability to print money out of thin air… and it was so powerful that they alone controlled where that money went… unaccountable even to the President, their lobby so big, so powerful, they control elections, hand picking every president since Kennedy.
What if it became know that the pharmaceutical industry, that they owned and operated, was designed to make you sick, and not well. That the news that came over your television was owned by just six corporations… owned by the same conspiring mindset, manipulating minds by half truth, rewriting history, propaganda, and hiding the truth of their overwhelming influence by a taboo they formulated, that turned out to be false by investigative journalism. What if you find out that the drug trade was operated by them, abortion, and that the Bolshevik Revolution that threatened Western Civilization, killing at least 100 million people with the creation of Marxist Communism, was created by them, and implemented by power brokers from New York City…
What would you do if you found out you were betrayed? That your country became a Oligarchy in 1871 when they made America a Corporation under Maritime Law, and that your Constitution and civil liberties has been bypassed from that time on? What would you do when everything you think do and say is being recorded and fed into an AI computer they control?
That the future you try and formulate is dominated and controlled by manipulating interest rates, the stock market, and that they have tripled the debt in one decade, and that over seven trillion is missing. And the fact that this isn’t even mentioned, doesn’t scare you? Anger you? Just that fact alone, that Liberty is dead, and you are a product of voluntary servitude, doesn’t even push a button in you, but, perhaps, an overwhelming fear… what do you do when you risked your life to fight what you were told was Communism, and you find that the same people who call themselves Progressives and Neocons work together for a common cause to keep the fake battle 50/50. Always 50/50.
And that this so called Communism was installed by them so you could fight? So they could profit on both sides, and when the dust settles, send their carpet baggers who buy up everything for pennies on the dollar… but why? Because there is slavery there, no unions, child labor laws, no need for safety regulations or insurance. Think about what pain and suffering these men have brought to this world by fake Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
Jesus said: Beware of fake Jews. for they lie. They belong to the Synagogue of Satan.
“The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings…Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe…no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.” … JFK
Corona thoughts…
Ok, everyone wants to talk Corona virus… let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about how China was fighting against the Hong Kong protesters that were waving American flags and praising Trump…. gone.
Let’s discuss how Trump has been tough on China and trade and theft of intellectual property. Now China threatens to withhold the ingredients for medicines.
Let’s talk about how the democrats and main stream media have blamed Trump for everything since he was elected and have come out and said they hoped the stock market would crash to make him look bad.
Let’s talk about how we had a Harvard professor of bio chem working secretly for the Chinese and getting paid really well, while lying about his connections.
We all have seen what these leftist college professors have indoctrinated our young people and how nasty they’ve been towards anyone that supports Trump. We’ve all seen how far the left and dems are willing to go to regain power and how the media has been used to promote their fake stories. Now we see them blame Trump for a Chinese virus and use the dem media to scare people and destabilize our markets.
Let’s talk about the Chinese girl that they’re looking for, that they think is now back in China , that had access to our defense department and military. How about the Chinese guy they busted at the airport with vials of bio materials hidden in his sock! How about the Chinese driver that was discovered working for Fienstein?
Let’s talk about how there’s not more talk about protests in Venezuela. How about the fact that there’s a bio lab in Wuhan, near that market they blamed and the professor had ties to that lab. Now China is trying to blame the virus on our military… makes no sense…since when do we have troops in China? How about Nancy Pelosi trying to sneak in abortion funding into the funding bill for the virus.
Let’s talk about all the scandals that aren’t being talked about now…. like Hunter and Joe Biden’s corruption in Ukraine or how Nancy and Schiff abused power in congress to continue this never ending witch hunt against our President. So all you sheep,..go ahead and beat each other over toilet paper.
You’re now getting a taste of socialism at it’s finest. Lack of supplies, waiting in line, media scaring everyone while screwing the economy and only telling you what they think you should know.
Let’s look at Italy where they’re not going to treat the elderly because it’s too much and they want to treat the young people.. there’s your socialized death squad medicine for you.
Go ahead and panic like Democrats want. The rest of us that are still sane and are the last bastions of common sense aren’t going to panic,… We’re not falling for the BS and yes, we will still vote Trump!
One more for the road …

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.
