The World Desperately Needs the Wisdom of Bobby Kennedy Now More Than Ever
Matthew Ehret
Today’s fires which have spread across America in the wake of George Floyd’s murder at the knee of Minnesota police officer Derick Chauvin has presented America with the chance to do some serious soul searching.
It has also presented certain Deep State opportunists, color revolutionaries and anarchism-financing billionaires a chance to unleash what some are calling an “America’s Maidan” in the hopes of accomplishing what four years of Russiagate failed to do.
The fact that these riots have occurred at a moment when America finds itself seriously reviving the spirit of JFK’s space vision is an irony that in many ways parallels the earlier “pregnant moment” of 1968.
(In case you are not aware, NASA has officially revived manned space launches on May 28 for the first time since Obama killed the Constellation rocket program in 2011, establishing a new program to return to the Moon before going to Mars under the Artemis Program established in 2017. The Artemis Accords of May 15 lay out the framework for international cooperation in space closely dovetailing similar commitments made by Russia and China).
In 1968, the seeds of two opposing futures clashed for dominance in America and the world more broadly. On the one hand, humanity landed for the first time upon another celestial body and great hopes for a space-based economic system were felt by the entire world, while on the other hand race riots gripped America while an insane war in Vietnam was taking on a new anthrax-filled life ultimately killing over 50,000 young Americans and millions of Vietnamese.
In this dystopian nightmare, endless sums of money were absorbed into the American Military Industrial Complex that John Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy had died resisting.
Faced with these two futures, the citizens of 1968 chose poorly, and acquiesced to be put onto a path of insanity as Martin Luther King’s Civil Rights Movement became replaced by FBI-funded radicals under Cointel Pro, America’s space program was atrophied with Apollo’s moon program being killed in 1973 and the Vietnam war destroyed the last remnants of patriotism in the hearts of young moral Americans.
Fortunately, the study of the past affords us more than simply reasons to be depressed by stories of assassination and failure.
Along with a proper sense of history, come the insights needed to prevent tragic choices and impulses from repeating themselves into the future, and with this fact in mind, it is important to observe the life of a particular non-tragic personality in America who overcame his fears in order to take to the stage of history, when others would not during a time of great crisis: Senator Robert Kennedy (aka: The man who should have been president), whose anniversary of assassination on June 5, 1968 is upon us.
Robert Kennedy as a Force in World History
While serving as Attorney General-first under the leadership of his brother John, then under Lyndon Johnson (until 1965), Robert Kennedy’s life was always defined by a strong commitment to peace, development and cooperation with justice for all races.
Exemplifying his intention to bring people into the process of historical change, Robert spoke to crowds in Apartheid South Africa in 1961 (after the ruling government refused to meet him) saying:
Few have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. … It is from numberless acts of courage and belief such as these that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
After quitting his job as Attorney General in 1965 in order to become a Senator and later presidential candidate, Kennedy focused his energy on reviving his brother’s Peace Corps, attacking the growing war in Vietnam, opposing racism at home and ending the despair of ghetto poverty that no one wished to look at.
In the midst of the July 1967 Detroit riots that resulted in 43 dead, 1189 injured and 2000 buildings destroyed, Robert was asked what he would do if he were president. In response RFK said that he would force the media to show all of America what life is really like in the Ghettos:
Let them show the sound, the feel, the hopelessness, and what it’s like to think you’ll never get out. Show a black teenager, told by some radio jingle to stay in school, looking at his older brother- who stayed in school who is out of a job. Show the Mafia pushing narcotics; put a candid camera team in a ghetto school and watch what a rotten system of education it really is. Film a mother staying up all night to keep the rats from her baby… Then ask people to watch it… and experience what it was like to live in the most affluent society in history- without hope.
Later that Summer Martin Luther King and Bobby began a close collaboration, with Martin telling his associates that the Civil Rights Movement would put its full support behind Bobby in the run-up to the 1968 elections.
Bobby had earlier intervened into Martin Luther King’s October 1960 arrest in Atlanta for the crime of driving with an invalid licence in racist territory. Both leaders advanced civil rights on their respective paths during the next few years but their peak collaboration only began during the Summer of 1967 as both men made their resistance to the war in Vietnam known publicly.
In an interview on Face the Nation in November 1967, Bobby Kennedy gave a lesson to Americans that could have applied as easily to today’s regime change-crazed America, asking rhetorically:
Do we have the right in the United States to say we’re going to kill tens of thousands of people, make millions of people, as we have… refugees, kill women and children? I very seriously question whether we have that right… Those of us who stay in the United States, we must feel it when we use napalm, when a village is destroyed and civilians are killed. This is our responsibility.”
Martin Luther King’s untimely death on April 4, 1968 resulted in a new wave of urban race riots that took America by storm sweeping through 120 cities and resulting in 39 deaths (mostly black) and 2600 injured. Over 75 000 troops were deployed to the streets of America during this time of tension.
Bobby Kennedy was on a plane to a presidential campaign rally in Indianapolis when he received news of King’s murder and was advised by both the Indianapolis police chief and his own staff to cancel the rally for his own safety.
Not only did RFK not listen to this advice, but the statesman went straight into the ghettos of Indianapolis, stood on a flatbed truck and gave a speech to thousands of poor, broken hearted Americans who sat on a razors edge, as he delivered the news of King’s death.
Choosing to stand with the people totally unprotected, Robert’s words held such potent love and empathy that they cut through the anger and rage of the mob resulting in a miracle as Indianapolis became the only major city in which no riots occurred. If you have not yet listened to this speech, take the 6 minutes to do so now.
[A full transcript of the speech can be read here – ed.]
King’s close associate Ralph Abernathy reported to Arthur Schlesinger:
I was so despondent and frustrated at King’s death, I had to seriously ask myself- can this country be saved? I guess the thing that kept us going was that maybe Bobby Kennedy would come up with some answers for the country… I remember telling him he had a chance to be a prophet. But prophets get shot.”
Indeed, just one day after his victory of the democratic primaries in California on June 4, 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles. Although a young Palestinian man named Sirhan Sirhan was made the lone scape goat, mountains of evidence accumulated over the years has pointed to a much darker story. Such evidence includes the findings of RFK’s coroner who proved that the killing bullet entered not from the front but rather at close range from the back of the neck.
Today’s world desperately needs citizens and statesmen with the wisdom of such figures as Martin Luther King Jr and Robert Kennedy if a similar tragedy will not unfold again today as it did in 1968. In those days, covert intelligence operations transplanted King’s Civil Rights movement with its effective use of civil yet peaceful disobedience, with the “New Left”, featuring armed and violence-prone operatives running bomb creating organizations like the Weather Underground that littered bombs (and STDs) across America. With the rise of the drug-loving anarchists of the new left who would later become leading figures of today’s sociopathic establishment, a new ethic was created on the basis of equating all aspects of western civilization (including the space program, atomic technology, the American constitution and western values more broadly) to be as evil as the war in Vietnam, corporate greed and the military-industrial complex.
So here we are once more, standing on the precipice of a new age of cooperation, space exploration and international development vs a Deep State-managed dystopian world order that would make Orwell turn in his grave.
If even a modicum of the wisdom expressed by MLK, JFK or Bobby Kennedy is alive in the heart of Donald Trump, and a few other world leaders, then I would say the chance of a bright future for mankind is not lost.

But, in case that’s just a company seeking to prevent liability, maybe we should look at some proper scientific research on the subject. There’s quite a bit of it.
Most of the media and politicians are strident in their support of enforced mask-wearing, but the science supporting that is thin on the ground.
While the Lancet and Mayo Clinic have produced articles recommending mask use, actual scientific studies are hard to come by.
The only evidence-based review I was able to find is forced to use very soft language in its conclusions. Titled [my emphasis] “Cloth Masks May Prevent Transmission of COVID-19″, it openly admits [again, my emphasis]:
Although no direct evidence indicates that cloth masks are effective in reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the evidence that they reduce contamination of air and surfaces is convincing
Other, purportedly scientific, publications have reduced themselves to publishing alarmist, unscientific, non-factual arguments that source the Los Angeles Times in place of any research, statistics or peer-reviewed papers.
The lack of hard science backing the government’s position on masks is evidently a concern in the propaganda networks, because they produce articles like this one in today’s Guardian:
We can’t be 100% sure face masks work – but that shouldn’t stop us wearing them
Which tries to turn it from a fact-based consideration into an ethical argument (A very common tactic among people who know they would lose an evidence-based debate):
this debate is as much about values as facts.
Despite the narrative push in favour of masks, the science is far from settled. With many papers – notably those pre-dating the Covid19 outbreak – suggesting masks do little-to-nothing to prevent the spread of viral respiratory infections.
A review of several mask-related papers, entitled “Why Face Masks Don’t Work” and conducted in 2016, found that [my emphasis]:
Between 2004 and 2016 at least a dozen research or review articles have been published on the inadequacies of face masks. All agree that the poor facial fit and limited filtration characteristics of face masks make them unable to prevent the wearer inhaling airborne particles. In their well-referenced 2011 article on respiratory protection for healthcare workers, Drs. Harriman and Brosseau conclude that, “facemasks will not protect against the inhalation of aerosols.”
And:
Health care workers have long relied heavily on surgical masks to provide protection against influenza and other infections. Yet there are no convincing scientific data that support the effectiveness of masks for respiratory protection.
And also:
It should be concluded from these and similar studies that the filter material of face masks does not retain or filter out viruses
To sum up: viruses are very, very, very small. Microns across. You can only see them with an electron microscope. As such the weave of a cloth mask provides almost no resistance to their passage.
The possible limitations of masks as a preventative are not a secret.
On May 21st, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article titled Universal Masking in Hospitals in the Covid-19 Era, which states:
We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection.
And as recently as last week, Dr April Baller of World Health Organization said:
“If you do not have any respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough or runny nose, you do not need to wear a mask,”
The common counter-argument to this point is that masks don’t prevent you from getting sick, but rather prevent you from spreading it if you’re infected.
However that is disputed by a paper published just last month, but based on research conducted in late 2019 (before the Covid outbreak),
which found that [my emphasis]:
Disposable medical masks are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids. There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
In fact, not only is there substantial evidence masks will not prevent you getting sick, there is some evidence they could actually be counter-productive.
A trial of cloth masks in 2015 found that:
Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in an increased risk of infection.
There’s also the issue of other possible complications, such as hypercapnia, an excess of carbon dioxide in the blood caused by re-breathing your own expelled air. It’s also been shown that mask use can exacerbate chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and perhaps other respiratory issues. There’s also the question of possible psychological harm.
The benefits of mask-wearing are, at best, unproven. The dangers, unknown. You wouldn’t expect this simple scientific question to be in any way controversial.
And yet…
In April, physicist Denis Rancourt published a research review on ResearchGate.com entitled “Masks Don’t Work: A review of science relevant to COVID-19 social policy”.
After receiving over 400,000 views, it was summarily removed for “spreading information that could cause harm”.
Clearly the establishment really wants us to wear masks. What’s less clear is why.


offguardian--2020-06-07--The Shallow Deep-State Goes Deeper as It Moves Toward Martial Law

I am not trying to be cute and play with words .
That title is meant to convey what it says , so let me explain .
The people who own the United States and their allies around the world have a plan .
It is so simple that it is extremely devious .
Their plan has been in operation for many years .
It has most people bamboozled because it is Janus-faced by design , overt one day , covert the next , but both faces operate under one controlling head .
Some call this head the Deep-State .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a double fake .
It is meant to make people schizoid , which it has .
The so-called Deep-State has been given many names over the years .
I will not bore you with them , except to say that it was once called the power elite .
They are the upper classes , the super wealthy who control the financial institutions , Wall Street , the intelligence agencies , the corporate media , the internet , the military , and the politicians .
They are multinational .
They are the wealthy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rest of the world .
They operate in secret , yet also run above-ground organizations such as the World Bank ( WB ) , the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , the US Agency for International Development ( USAID ) , etc .
Their bloodstream runs on war , the preparations for war , and economic exploitation of the world .
All wealthy people are not party to their machinations , but they are almost always complicit in profiting from their crimes , unless they are very stupid .
Or play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a great confidence game , that is quite common .
Other people , all other classes , the poor , middle-classes , even a portion of the upper middle classes mean nothing to the power elite unless they can serve their interests .
They are always waging class warfare to maintain their domination and control .
Their recent version of this class war is underway in the United States and in many other countries .
As of today , they are using race fears to create chaos and outrage to disguise their class @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of martial law .
Soon they will shift back to the coronavirus fraud .
Back and forth , in and out , now you see it , now you don ’ t .
By shutting down the world ’ s economy , they have destroyed the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people and are creating poverty on a vast scale .
Much famine and death will follow .
In the United States alone , 40-45 million people have applied for unemployment insurance and job loss is the greatest since the Great Depression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign created around Covid-19 fear porn .
This class war is not new , but it is conducted today at warp speed since these people control the technology that has allowed them vastly increased power .
In the USA , it is conducted as usual under the guise of Republicans versus Democrats , the two representative political factions that are the faces of the controlled “ opposition , ” who are actually allies in the larger confidence game .
Keeping “ hope ” alive is central to their strategy .
Mind control is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ greatest ally .
Race is central to their game plan .
They always say they are protecting us .
It is all a lie .
A show .
Nothing but a spectacle for the gullible .
A shadow play .
The current president , Donald Trump , is the choice of one faction of these psychopaths .
This year , Joseph Biden , is the shaky presumptive choice of the other .
Both are deranged puppets .
Regular people fight over who is better or worse because they are living inside what Jim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Orleans and the only person to ever bring a trial in the assassination of President Kennedy , long ago called “ the doll ’ s house.
” It is a place where illusions and delusions replace reality .
It is 24/7 propaganda .
It keeps people engaged .
It gives them something to argue about , one team to root for .
It ’ s a sport .
It is similar to Plato ’ s Cave .
Fire has been replaced with electronic lighting and screens , but little has changed .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and greased with the tantalizing bait of hope dangled for the masses .
Shit slogans like “ We are all in this together.
” But there is no hope for this system .
But when the propaganda is so slick that it creates a double-bind , people grasp at any neurotic “ solution ” out of frustration .
As I write , huge angry crowds are out in the streets protesting the sick murder of a black man , George Floyd , by a white cop .
Police infiltrators have started violent looting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Such killings are routine , but someone turned a switch for this one when just yesterday operation corona lockdown with its fear and fake statistics had everyone cowering behind masks at home as the economic lives of vast numbers were destroyed in a flash .
For today , the masquerade is in the streets .
Many good people are caught up in it .
In a few days the scene will shift and we can expect another “ bombshell.
” These surprises will keep happening one after another for the foreseeable future .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The war come home .
The controllers know you can ’ t wage war against the rest of the world unless you do so at home as well .
When one group within the deep-state won the internecine battle in 2016 and “ shocked ” the country with the election of the comical Trump , the other deep-state group called the Democrats , immediately set in motion a plan to try to oust him or to make it seem as if they were trying to do so .
The naïve thought this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been stretched until the 2020 presidential election , although some probably think Trump might go before then .
He won ’ t .
So many people have destroyed their minds and relationships because they can ’ t see through the fraud .
Early in 2017 , as the outgoing front man for the CIA/warfare/Wall St. state , Barack Obama , left his time bombs for the future .
The pink pussy hats were sent out marching to open the show .
Russia-gate was launched ; eventually impeachment was tried .
The Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a non-stop attack .
It was all so obvious , so shallow in its intent , as it was meant to be .
But millions who were in the doll house were outraged , obsessed , frantic with rage .
They bought the con-game .
Both those who hate Trump and those that love him have spent almost four years foaming at the mouth , breathless .
Trump was cast as the personification of evil .
A relentless attack on Trump began and has continued all this time .
It is pure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as planned , holding the Bible aloft in a style reminiscent of a Bible thumping Klansman from The Birth of a Nation .
Only the ignorant thought it might have been different .
He knows how to perform his role .
He is a fine actor .
He outrages , spews idiocies , as he is supposed to do .
That Mussolini style stance , that absurd hair , the pout .
Just perfect for an arch-villain .
It ’ s so obvious that it isn ’ t .
Herein lies the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policies ?
The super-rich , of course , the power-elite .
Who just stole 6-10 trillion dollars of public money under the hilariously named Cares Act ?

Edward Curtin
I am not trying to be cute and play with words. That title is meant to convey what it says, so let me explain.
The people who own the United States and their allies around the world have a plan. It is so simple that it is extremely devious.
Their plan has been in operation for many years. It has most people bamboozled because it is Janus-faced by design, overt one day, covert the next, but both faces operate under one controlling head. Some call this head the Deep-State. Even the Deep-State calls itself the Deep-State in a double fake. It is meant to make people schizoid, which it has.
The so-called Deep-State has been given many names over the years. I will not bore you with them, except to say that it was once called the power elite. They are the upper classes, the super wealthy who control the financial institutions, Wall Street, the intelligence agencies, the corporate media, the internet, the military, and the politicians. They are multinational.
They are the wealthy nihilists who care not one jot for the rest of the world. They operate in secret, yet also run above-ground organizations such as the World Bank (WB), the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), etc. Their bloodstream runs on war, the preparations for war, and economic exploitation of the world.
All wealthy people are not party to their machinations, but they are almost always complicit in profiting from their crimes, unless they are very stupid. Or play stupid. Since I am talking about a great confidence game, that is quite common.
Other people, all other classes, the poor, middle-classes, even a portion of the upper middle classes mean nothing to the power elite unless they can serve their interests. They are always waging class warfare to maintain their domination and control. Their recent version of this class war is underway in the United States and in many other countries.
As of today, they are using race fears to create chaos and outrage to disguise their class warfare that is leading to the imposition of martial law. Soon they will shift back to the coronavirus fraud. Back and forth, in and out, now you see it, now you don’t.
By shutting down the world’s economy, they have destroyed the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people and are creating poverty on a vast scale. Much famine and death will follow. In the United States alone, 40-45 million people have applied for unemployment insurance and job loss is the greatest since the Great Depression. The reason: a massive propaganda campaign created around Covid-19 fear porn.
This class war is not new, but it is conducted today at warp speed since these people control the technology that has allowed them vastly increased power.
In the USA, it is conducted as usual under the guise of Republicans versus Democrats, the two representative political factions that are the faces of the controlled “opposition,” who are actually allies in the larger confidence game. Keeping “hope” alive is central to their strategy. Mind control is what they do. Speed is their greatest ally. Race is central to their game plan. They always say they are protecting us.
It is all a lie. A show. Nothing but a spectacle for the gullible. A shadow play.
The current president, Donald Trump, is the choice of one faction of these psychopaths. This year, Joseph Biden, is the shaky presumptive choice of the other. Both are deranged puppets. Regular people fight over who is better or worse because they are living inside what Jim Garrison, the former District Attorney of New Orleans and the only person to ever bring a trial in the assassination of President Kennedy, long ago called “the doll’s house.”
It is a place where illusions and delusions replace reality. It is 24/7 propaganda. It keeps people engaged. It gives them something to argue about, one team to root for. It’s a sport. It is similar to Plato’s Cave. Fire has been replaced with electronic lighting and screens, but little has changed.
The sick system of exploitation is oiled and greased with the tantalizing bait of hope dangled for the masses. Shit slogans like “We are all in this together.”
But there is no hope for this system.
But when the propaganda is so slick that it creates a double-bind, people grasp at any neurotic “solution” out of frustration. As I write, huge angry crowds are out in the streets protesting the sick murder of a black man, George Floyd, by a white cop. Police infiltrators have started violent looting. Chaos reigns, as planned.
Such killings are routine, but someone turned a switch for this one when just yesterday operation corona lockdown with its fear and fake statistics had everyone cowering behind masks at home as the economic lives of vast numbers were destroyed in a flash.
For today, the masquerade is in the streets. Many good people are caught up in it. In a few days the scene will shift and we can expect another “bombshell.”
These surprises will keep happening one after another for the foreseeable future. Shock and Awe for the home crowd. The war come home. The controllers know you can’t wage war against the rest of the world unless you do so at home as well.
When one group within the deep-state won the internecine battle in 2016 and “shocked” the country with the election of the comical Trump, the other deep-state group called the Democrats, immediately set in motion a plan to try to oust him or to make it seem as if they were trying to do so.
The naïve thought this may happen, and their deluded yearning has been stretched until the 2020 presidential election, although some probably think Trump might go before then. He won’t.
So many people have destroyed their minds and relationships because they can’t see through the fraud.
Early in 2017, as the outgoing front man for the CIA/warfare/Wall St. state, Barack Obama, left his time bombs for the future. The pink pussy hats were sent out marching to open the show. Russia-gate was launched; eventually impeachment was tried. The Democrats. with their media allies, went on a non-stop attack.
It was all so obvious, so shallow in its intent, as it was meant to be. But millions who were in the doll house were outraged, obsessed, frantic with rage. They bought the con-game. Both those who hate Trump and those that love him have spent almost four years foaming at the mouth, breathless.
Trump was cast as the personification of evil. A relentless attack on Trump began and has continued all this time. It is pure theater. Trump remains at the helm, as planned, holding the Bible aloft in a style reminiscent of a Bible thumping Klansman from The Birth of a Nation. Only the ignorant thought it might have been different.
He knows how to perform his role. He is a fine actor. He outrages, spews idiocies, as he is supposed to do. That Mussolini style stance, that absurd hair, the pout. Just perfect for an arch-villain. It’s so obvious that it isn’t. Herein lies the trick.
And who profits from his policies? The super-rich, of course, the power-elite.
Who just stole 6-10 trillion dollars of public money under the hilariously named Cares Act? The super-rich, of course, the deep-state.
It was a bi-partisan bank robbery from the public treasury carried out under the shadow of Covid-19, whose phony hyped up numbers were used to frighten the populace into lockdown mode as the Republican and Democratic bank robbers smiled in unison and announced forcefully, “We care!” We are here to protect you.
Remember how Barack Obama “saved” us by bailing out Wall St. and the big banks to the tune of trillions in early 2009. Then waged unending wars. Left black Americans bereft. He cared, too, didn’t he. Our leaders always care.
Obama was the black guy in the white hat. Trump is the white guy in the black hat. Hollywood on the Potomac, as Gary Wills called it when Ronald Reagan was the acting-president.
Now Obama’s war-loving side-kick, the pale-faced, twisted talking Biden is seriously offered as an alternative to the Elvis impersonator in the White House. This is the false left/right dichotomy that has the residents of the doll’s house in its grip.
If you can’t see what’s coming, you might want to break out of the house, take off your mask, go for a walk, and take some deep breaths. The walls are closing in.
Knees will be on everyone’s necks in the months ahead.


offguardian--2020-06-06--Is the Coronavirus Scare a Psychological Operation?

Governments have used psychological warfare throughout history to manipulate public opinion , gain political advantage , and generate profits .
Western governments have engaged in such tactics in the war on terrorism as well as in its predecessor , the war on communism .
In both cases , state-sponsored terrorism and propaganda were used to distort the public ’ s perception of the threats , leading to increased governmental control of society and huge financial benefits for corporations .
It appears that the same kinds of effects are being seen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic .
Many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ war on terrorism and the war on communism are evident in this new “ war on death.
” Therefore , it ’ s reasonable to wonder if the extreme response to COVID-19 , and its associated virus SARS-COV-2 , could be another psychological operation against the public .
Considering facts about the disease and the disproportionate response emphasizes the possibility .
If COVID-19 has been co-opted for manipulation of the public , through hyping the threat and pushing exploitive solutions , who is behind it and who benefits ?
Let ’ s first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus scare ’ shares in common with the “ red scare ” that drove the perceived threat of communism and the “ Muslim scare ” behind the perceived threat of terrorism .
Here are a dozen characteristics that these perceived threats share .
• Series of claims made that are later proven false • Large increase in wealth and power for a few ; increase in social inequality • Increased government control of the public and reduced individual freedoms • Response kills far more than the original threat • Evidence for manufactured events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ differences between the COVID-19 pandemic response and the “ wars ” on communism and terrorism .
One difference is that , for the virus , agencies dedicated to public health have taken the lead .
Although the central characters that hyped the communism threat and the terrorism threat were sometimes the same people , they tended to represent military , diplomatic , or intelligence agencies .
The primary actors driving the coronavirus lockdowns and associated control mechanisms are political leaders .
However , the directives being acted upon come from the World Health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the United Nations ostensibly responsible for international public health .
Others controlling the coronavirus scare are national health agencies , most notably the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and the United Kingdom ’ s National Health Service ( NHS ) .
Are these agencies acting solely in the interest of public health ?
The common impression is that the entire matter began in reaction to events in China but even that is not clear .
For example , the virus is said to have originated in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limited , lockdown occurred in that area from January to March .
China has since said that it warned the WHO about the virus during the first week of January .
However , it is known that U.S. intelligence agencies were aware of the potential outbreak even before that , in November 2019 .
A Chinese spokesman later suggested that the U.S. military might have brought the virus to Wuhan during the military games held there in October .
The first instance of an entire country being locked down for the coronavirus was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 9th based on advice from the Italian government ’ s coronavirus adviser Walter Ricciardi , who said , “ The situation risks going out of control and these measures are necessary to keep the spread at bay.
” Ricciardi , a WHO committee member , later admitted that Italy had inflated the death counts from the virus , stating : Many have noted the inordinate influence of billionaire Bill Gates on the activities and direction of the WHO .
As of 2017 , this influence was seen as troubling , with health advocates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a ruthless schemer by his Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and Allen is not alone in that assessment .
Despite engaging in a costly “ public charm offensive , ” Gates is seen by many as a predatory and monopolistic opportunist hiding behind a false front of philanthropy .
With regard to the coronavirus scare and Gates ’ stated goal of vaccinating the entire world population , however , people should be most concerned that he has worked diligently on mechanisms of population control .
Of course , no one person controls the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ running WHO , apart from Bill Gates ?
The face of the WHO is Dr. Tedros Adhanom , the director-general of the organization .
Tedros has a poor history of ethics in leadership , with many accusations having been made against him including that he covered-up epidemics in the past .
Alarms about Tedros began to go off immediately after his appointment in 2017 , when he named Robert Mugabe , the former dictator of Zimbabwe , as a goodwill ambassador to the WHO .
Mugabe ’ s rule over Zimbabwe was dominated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , persecution of political opponents , intimidation and vote-rigging on a grand scale.
” This appointment indicated that Tedros ’ judgment of goodwill was dubious at best .
A letter from a group of American doctors that same year described why Tedros has become known as “ Dr .
Cover Up.
” They added that Tedros was “ fully complicit in the terrible suffering and dying that continues to spread in East Africa.
” Problems at WHO didn ’ t start with Tedros , however .
After the H1N1 pandemic of 2009 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had exaggerated the danger and had spread fear and confusion rather than helpful information .
It was later learned that “ Italy , Germany , France and the U.K. made secret agreements with pharmaceutical companies ” that “ obliged the countries to buy vaccinations only if the WHO raised the pandemic to a level 6.
” The WHO then proceeded to change its guidelines for defining a pandemic in order to accommodate those contracts , thereby increasing the public ’ s fear despite the fact that the pandemic never became a serious threat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its work to reduce some illnesses like polio , it has also been found that drugs and vaccines recommended by WHO have been “ found to be harmful and without significant clinical effect.
” A comprehensive view suggests that the WHO is more of a corporate interest agency than an organization committed to preserving public health .
That ’ s not surprising due to the fact that 80 % of WHO ’ s funding comes from “ voluntary contributions ” provided by private donors including pharmaceutical companies and industry groups like Bill Gates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( GAVI ) .
nd since the worldwide response to COVID-19 has been directed and coordinated by an organization that works on behalf of multi-national corporations that stand to benefit , the idea that the coronavirus scare could be a psychological operation seems plausible .
In the US , the CDC is also heavily influenced by corporate and political interests .
This became clear when , in 2016 , a group of senior scientists within the CDC filed an ethics complaint against the agency making that exact claim .
They wrote : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pursue political objectives , “ definitions were changed and data cooked ” at CDC , even to the point of misrepresenting data to Congress .
Like the WHO , the CDC has a history of pushing harmful vaccines .
An example was covered in a 60 Minutes episode exposing the harm done by the Swine Flu vaccine in 1976 and CDC ’ s urging that all Americans be injected with that harmful vaccine .
The report revealed that the illness was hyped based on very questionable data and the vaccine caused neurological damage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retired US Army doctor Robert Redfield , who is known for having led the Pentagon ’ s disastrous response to HIV-AIDS in the 1980s .
The CDC is an agency within the department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) .
Alex Azar , a lawyer and former pharmaceutical company executive , was appointed as Secretary of HHS in 2017 .
Azar has deep connections to the pharmaceutical industry and is known for having engaged in price gouging with his former employer .
Azar is also known for leading the HHS response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first known bioterrorism attack on the United States .
The anthrax attacks were targeted against members of Congress and the media that were dissenting voices in the national discussion about the Patriot Act , the oppressive legislation introduced immediately after the 9/11 attacks .
Although Muslims were first blamed through highly questionable evidence , it was ultimately found that the weaponized anthrax came from U.S. military laboratories .
Azar was instrumental in defining the National Biodefense Strategy in 2018 , working closely with John Bolton , Trump ’ s National Security Advisor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Project for a New American Century ( PNAC ) , has a long history of pushing authoritarian policies and war .
In the US the person most visibly in charge of the COVID-19 response is Anthony Fauci , who is the long-time director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) .
Like Redfield , Dr. Fauci is a Catholic and has said that values he learned in his Jesuit education continue to guide him .
After weeks of Fauci having led the coronavirus response in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NIAID had funded “ gain of function ” research at the Wuhan laboratory where the SARS-COV-2 virus is suspected of having originated .
Fauci ’ s response to questions about that inexplicable coincidence was simply to denounce “ conspiracy theories ” rather than addressing the questions directly , much as others did when questioned about 9/11 foreknowledge .
Whether SARS-COV-2 was genetically engineered in a laboratory , like the NIAID-funded Wuhan lab , is a subject that has become of interest to many scientists .
The Wuhan laboratory is not the only place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ however , as the Pentagon funds such labs in 25 countries across the world .
Located in places such as Eastern Europe , the Middle East , South East Asia , and Africa , these labs isolate and manipulate viruses like the bat coronaviruses from which SARS-COV-2 originated .
This bat-research program is further coordinated by a group called EcoHealth Alliance .
The manipulation of viruses for gain of function at US funded labs is , like the origin of the weaponized anthrax at US labs , evidence that bioterrorism and pandemics can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way in which the coronavirus scare could reflect the war on terrorism and war on communism , both of which were driven by manufactured terrorist events .
It is remarkable that Fauci funded work to manipulate coronaviruses then became the voice of the coronavirus pandemic response while also working closely with Bill Gates ’ GAVI initiative .
Fauci has boasted that NIAID and GAVI work together to push vaccines with “ outright collaboration between us in setting the standard of what is needed.
” This makes it easier to see that a new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population control and global vaccinations is not only possible but would be a very lucrative business model .
By now it ’ s well known that the initial projections for deaths due to COVID-19 were massively overestimated and one academic paper was responsible for the panic .
The lead author of that paper , Neil Ferguson of Imperial College , has since resigned in disgrace from his government advisory position .
Much like the US government ’ s explanation for destruction of the World Trade Center buildings , his estimates were based on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the public .
As in the US , UK intelligence agencies have taken a leading role in managing the coronavirus scare .
The terrorism expert who is expected to be the next chief of MI6 was selected to lead a new “ biosecurity centre ” to evaluate the coronavirus threat and “ enable rapid intervention.
” Additionally , the UK intelligence agency known as Government Communication Headquarters ( GCHQ ) was granted powers over the NHS ’ s computer systems .
GCHQ is known for engaging in illegal activities related to population @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Totalitarian outcomes are further enabled with billionaire Peter Thiel ’ s CIA-initiated company Palantir managing the databases used by both the CDC and UK ’ s NHS that drive COVID-19 decision making .
For perspective , in 2009 , Thiel said , “ I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible , ” providing another clue that public health and awareness are not the main priorities behind the coronavirus scare .
The data behind the COVID-19 pandemic was never reliable , with test kits being inaccurate , government policies inflating the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solely on fear-based predictions that are repeatedly proven false .
Recently , scientists and government leaders from other countries , including Russia , Germany and Denmark , have begun speaking out about how the coronavirus threat has been exaggerated .
The outcomes of the coronavirus scare have included huge windfalls for billionaires , financial institutions , and corporations .
Legislation being passed in response to COVID-19 is largely beneficial to corporate interests .
The outcomes for everyone else have been fear , unemployment , poverty , loss of freedoms , grave risks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is possible is related to the fact that governments , and the nations they represent , are no longer what they were .
In many ways , corporations have replaced governments as the drivers of public policy and , as with Peter Thiel ’ s Palantir , the public ’ s interest is not their concern .
Meanwhile , over two dozen companies have become larger and more powerful than many national governments .
As a result , governments are now false fronts for corporations and the decisions they make , for example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , are driven by profit-based strategies indifferent to public interests .
In summary , the features and outcomes of the coronavirus scare reflect those of previous psychological operations including the war on terrorism and its predecessor , the war on communism .
The people and agencies driving the coronavirus scare have a history of unethical behaviors , including hyping pandemics to push vaccines , and appear to seek long-term profits through implementation of a highly controlled society .
Therefore , the response to COVID-19 , if not the virus itself , can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drive those outcomes .

Governments have used psychological warfare throughout history to manipulate public opinion, gain political advantage, and generate profits. Western governments have engaged in such tactics in the war on terrorism as well as in its predecessor, the war on communism.
In both cases, state-sponsored terrorism and propaganda were used to distort the public’s perception of the threats, leading to increased governmental control of society and huge financial benefits for corporations.

Are these agencies acting solely in the interest of public health?
The WHO
The common impression is that the entire matter began in reaction to events in China but even that is not clear. For example, the virus is said to have originated in the city of Wuhan and the first, limited, lockdown occurred in that area from January to March.
China has since said that it warned the WHO about the virus during the first week of January. However, it is known that U.S. intelligence agencies were aware of the potential outbreak even before that, in November 2019. A Chinese spokesman later suggested that the U.S. military might have brought the virus to Wuhan during the military games held there in October.
The first instance of an entire country being locked down for the coronavirus was in Italy. This occurred on March 9th based on advice from the Italian government’s coronavirus adviser Walter Ricciardi, who said, “The situation risks going out of control and these measures are necessary to keep the spread at bay.”
Ricciardi, a WHO committee member, later admitted that Italy had inflated the death counts from the virus, stating:
“The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.”
Many have noted the inordinate influence of billionaire Bill Gates on the activities and direction of the WHO. As of 2017, this influence was seen as troubling, with health advocates fearing that:
because the Gates Foundation’s money comes from investments in big business, it could serve as a Trojan horse for corporate interests to undermine WHO’s role in setting standards and shaping health policies.”
Gates has been called a ruthless schemer by his Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and Allen is not alone in that assessment.
Despite engaging in a costly “public charm offensive,” Gates is seen by many as a predatory and monopolistic opportunist hiding behind a false front of philanthropy. With regard to the coronavirus scare and Gates’ stated goal of vaccinating the entire world population, however, people should be most concerned that he has worked diligently on mechanisms of population control.
Of course, no one person controls the world yet so who is supposed to be running WHO, apart from Bill Gates? The face of the WHO is Dr. Tedros Adhanom, the director-general of the organization. Tedros has a poor history of ethics in leadership, with many accusations having been made against him including that he covered-up epidemics in the past.
Alarms about Tedros began to go off immediately after his appointment in 2017, when he named Robert Mugabe, the former dictator of Zimbabwe, as a goodwill ambassador to the WHO. Mugabe’s rule over Zimbabwe was dominated by “murder, bloodshed, torture, persecution of political opponents, intimidation and vote-rigging on a grand scale.” This appointment indicated that Tedros’ judgment of goodwill was dubious at best.
A letter from a group of American doctors that same year described why Tedros has become known as “Dr. Cover Up.”
They wrote:
“Your silence about what is clearly a massive cholera epidemic in Sudan daily becomes more reprehensible. The inevitable history that will be written of this cholera epidemic will surely cast you in an unforgiving light.”
They added that Tedros was “fully complicit in the terrible suffering and dying that continues to spread in East Africa.”
Problems at WHO didn’t start with Tedros, however.
After the H1N1 pandemic of 2009, evidence came to light that the WHO had exaggerated the danger and had spread fear and confusion rather than helpful information. It was later learned that “Italy, Germany, France and the U.K. made secret agreements with pharmaceutical companies” that “obliged the countries to buy vaccinations only if the WHO raised the pandemic to a level 6.”
The WHO then proceeded to change its guidelines for defining a pandemic in order to accommodate those contracts, thereby increasing the public’s fear despite the fact that the pandemic never became a serious threat.
Although WHO has been praised for its work to reduce some illnesses like polio, it has also been found that drugs and vaccines recommended by WHO have been “found to be harmful and without significant clinical effect.”
A comprehensive view suggests that the WHO is more of a corporate interest agency than an organization committed to preserving public health. That’s not surprising due to the fact that 80% of WHO’s funding comes from “voluntary contributions” provided by private donors including pharmaceutical companies and industry groups like Bill Gates’ Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI).
nd since the worldwide response to COVID-19 has been directed and coordinated by an organization that works on behalf of multi-national corporations that stand to benefit, the idea that the coronavirus scare could be a psychological operation seems plausible.
The CDC
In the US, the CDC is also heavily influenced by corporate and political interests. This became clear when, in 2016, a group of senior scientists within the CDC filed an ethics complaint against the agency making that exact claim. They wrote:
It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests.”
The scientists noted that, in order to pursue political objectives, “definitions were changed and data cooked” at CDC, even to the point of misrepresenting data to Congress.
Like the WHO, the CDC has a history of pushing harmful vaccines. An example was covered in a 60 Minutes episode exposing the harm done by the Swine Flu vaccine in 1976 and CDC’s urging that all Americans be injected with that harmful vaccine. The report revealed that the illness was hyped based on very questionable data and the vaccine caused neurological damage.
The current Director of CDC is retired US Army doctor Robert Redfield, who is known for having led the Pentagon’s disastrous response to HIV-AIDS in the 1980s.
A devout catholic, Redfield saw AIDS as the product of an immoral society. For many years, he championed a much-hyped remedy that was discredited in tests. That debacle led to his removal from the job in 1994.”
Public health reporter Laurie Garrett remarked:
“Redfield is about the worst person you could think of to be heading the CDC at this time. He lets his prejudices interfere with the science, which you cannot afford during a pandemic.”
The CDC is an agency within the department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Alex Azar, a lawyer and former pharmaceutical company executive, was appointed as Secretary of HHS in 2017. Azar has deep connections to the pharmaceutical industry and is known for having engaged in price gouging with his former employer.
Azar is also known for leading the HHS response to the anthrax scare of 2001, the first known bioterrorism attack on the United States. The anthrax attacks were targeted against members of Congress and the media that were dissenting voices in the national discussion about the Patriot Act, the oppressive legislation introduced immediately after the 9/11 attacks.
Although Muslims were first blamed through highly questionable evidence, it was ultimately found that the weaponized anthrax came from U.S. military laboratories.
Azar was instrumental in defining the National Biodefense Strategy in 2018, working closely with John Bolton, Trump’s National Security Advisor. Bolton, a neocon and member of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), has a long history of pushing authoritarian policies and war.
In the US the person most visibly in charge of the COVID-19 response is Anthony Fauci, who is the long-time director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

It is remarkable that Fauci funded work to manipulate coronaviruses then became the voice of the coronavirus pandemic response while also working closely with Bill Gates’ GAVI initiative. Fauci has boasted that NIAID and GAVI work together to push vaccines with “outright collaboration between us in setting the standard of what is needed.”
This makes it easier to see that a new pattern of hyped pandemics resulting in increased population control and global vaccinations is not only possible but would be a very lucrative business model.
The NHS and Corporate Nations
By now it’s well known that the initial projections for deaths due to COVID-19 were massively overestimated and one academic paper was responsible for the panic. The lead author of that paper, Neil Ferguson of Imperial College, has since resigned in disgrace from his government advisory position. Much like the US government’s explanation for destruction of the World Trade Center buildings, his estimates were based on computer models that cannot be shared with the public.
As in the US, UK intelligence agencies have taken a leading role in managing the coronavirus scare. The terrorism expert who is expected to be the next chief of MI6 was selected to lead a new “biosecurity centre” to evaluate the coronavirus threat and “enable rapid intervention.”
Additionally, the UK intelligence agency known as Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) was granted powers over the NHS’s computer systems. GCHQ is known for engaging in illegal activities related to population control mechanisms such as mass surveillance.
Totalitarian outcomes are further enabled with billionaire Peter Thiel’s CIA-initiated company Palantir managing the databases used by both the CDC and UK’s NHS that drive COVID-19 decision making.
For perspective, in 2009, Thiel said, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible,” providing another clue that public health and awareness are not the main priorities behind the coronavirus scare.
The data behind the COVID-19 pandemic was never reliable, with test kits being inaccurate, government policies inflating the death counts, and the media focusing solely on fear-based predictions that are repeatedly proven false.
Recently, scientists and government leaders from other countries, including Russia, Germany and Denmark, have begun speaking out about how the coronavirus threat has been exaggerated.
The outcomes of the coronavirus scare have included huge windfalls for billionaires, financial institutions, and corporations. Legislation being passed in response to COVID-19 is largely beneficial to corporate interests. The outcomes for everyone else have been fear, unemployment, poverty, loss of freedoms, grave risks to democracy, and death.
How this is possible is related to the fact that governments, and the nations they represent, are no longer what they were. In many ways, corporations have replaced governments as the drivers of public policy and, as with Peter Thiel’s Palantir, the public’s interest is not their concern. Meanwhile, over two dozen companies have become larger and more powerful than many national governments.
As a result, governments are now false fronts for corporations and the decisions they make, for example to lockdown citizens and remake their economies, are driven by profit-based strategies indifferent to public interests.
In summary, the features and outcomes of the coronavirus scare reflect those of previous psychological operations including the war on terrorism and its predecessor, the war on communism.
The people and agencies driving the coronavirus scare have a history of unethical behaviors, including hyping pandemics to push vaccines, and appear to seek long-term profits through implementation of a highly controlled society. Therefore, the response to COVID-19, if not the virus itself, can be seen as a psychological operation used to drive those outcomes.

This Week in The Guardian #8

This week sees a human guinea pig teaching us a valuable lesson , the shallowest columnist in the world , how anti-vaxxers will ruin hugs and making sexism great again .
Every week ( or , rather , most weeks , since the coronavirus torpedoed our schedule ) , we like to highlight three or four stories that go full-Guardian , but don ’ t require an entire article of refutation .
We encourage reader-participation here , so if you come across something you feel should be included in the next edition either post a link below , or send @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , men are calling all the shots .
We ’ re seeing why it matters “ This is just full Guardian mode .
The crass generalisation .
The factual inaccuracy .
The casual sexism .
It ’ s a Gabby Hinsliff offering , but in this instance Gabby is really the grating , hysterical voice of a movement .
The movement in question is “ backwards ” .
In every possible way .
She asks in her opening .
Totally blind to the full-circle of identity politics , moving through “ progressive ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regressive ” .
I remember the 1990s .
I grew up watching the X Files and Buffy and ER .
Female doctors , female heroes , female FBI agents .
Nobody made much of a thing about it .
That was the point of feminism , wasn ’ t it ?
To have all men and women treated as individuals first , and members of a gender second ( or maybe not at all ) ?
Instead of that , we now have generalisations from the Victorian era bandied about in the name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notion that women are all angelic mother-figures , while men are aggressive animals who can barely control their base urges .
It ’ s reductionist , ridiculous and insulting to both parties…but that ’ s what “ progressive ” means these days The real lesson here is how little content matters to the modern journalist , how little they actually mean .
Opinions are formed based on need and circumstance .
Principles picked up dropped like accessories .
Identity is everything .
If “ women are naturally more cautious ” had been written @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as an attack on female Labour Prime Minister ?
Well , then the Guardian would have been full of articles calling for the author ’ s resignation for misogyny .
The studies she references , in another article at another time , would be have been “ junk science ” which “ plays on old tropes ” .
As much as we talk about progress , in many ways we are going backwards .
The Guardian is concerned about “ anti-vaxxers ” spreading “ conspiracy theories ” which will stop everyone from wanting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the market .
How do they counter this “ misinformation ” ?
With science and rational debate ?
Instead they use cringey emotional blackmail : Hear that everyone ?
You ’ d better get that vaccine , or no more freedom and no more hugs !
Later they wheel out some psychologist to repeat all the familiar tropes about “ conspiracy theories ” being comforting for idiots ( and plug his very creepy book at the same time ) : And topping it all off with an anecdote about “ Susan ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t use to believe in vaccination , but then had a good talk with a doctor , and now loves vaccines so much she ’ s volunteered to be a test case for the Covid19 jab .
Seriously .
“ Why Trump is ramping up attacks on mail-in voting “ We recently published an article about mail-in voting .
How it ’ s insecure , historically much easier to cheat , and how despite all that ( or maybe because of it ) , there is a concentrated push to talk-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kind of article , pointing out that since Trump hates something it must automatically be good , is exactly the kind of lazy rhetoric beloved of propagandists everywhere .
No argument is provided at all .
That ’ s WHY you spend years pretending Trump is some kind of uniquely evil monster-lunatic , so that all you have to do is associate an idea/cause/person with him , and they are instantly discredited .
There ’ s even an admission that huge amounts of postal ballots could make it appearthere has been some corruption @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the same time , they insist this would be meaningless , that ( despite all the evidence ) attacks on postal voting are “ baseless ” , and that anybody challenging the results of an election on that basis would be creating a “ constitutional crisis ” .
Clearly a set up to defend possibly rigged elections down the line .
I don ’ t know if any of you read Hadley Freeman much .
I wouldn ’ t , if tracking Guardian content hadn ’ t accidentally become a quasi profession @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dreadful .
Her columns are dashed through with identity politics , “ feminism ” and name-dropping anecdotes about famous people she ’ s met .
But really they mostly reveal is that she ’ s lived a pretty sheltered life , and can ’ t seem to imagine anybody else may not have done .
See her recent output throughout the “ crisis ” : Two weeks ago she was bemoaning the passing of the hotel breakfast buffet .
Yesterday she was totting up the “ suffering ” of lockdown , entirely through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having to look after your children .
The assumption that everyone out there is so comfortable and soft and suburban that they would relate to her experience and not , for instance , curl their lip at the disgusting shallowness of the take , is bizarre .
No words about the homeless , or those people who can ’ t pay rent because they lost their jobs , or cancer patients waiting on treatment while hospitals sit 40 % empty , or the old people being killed by neglect .
The real suffering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honestly don ’ t think she has any conception of it .
Just terrifyingly awful .
All told , a busy three weeks for The Guardian .
And we didn ’ t even cover the fact that over 50 % of people infected with coronavirus never get symptoms…and somehow that makes it scarier , or the fact traditional families are highly dangerous and need to be monitored by the state to keep women safe .
Did we miss anything ?
Tell us about it in the comments below , and keep an eye @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the next issue .

This is just full Guardian mode. The crass generalisation. The factual inaccuracy. The casual sexism. It’s a Gabby Hinsliff offering, but in this instance Gabby is really the grating, hysterical voice of a movement.
The movement in question is “backwards”. In every possible way.
Women are naturally more cautious: would the government have made so many missteps over the lockdown if it was more inclusive?
She asks in her opening. Totally blind to the full-circle of identity politics, moving through “progressive” all the way back around to “regressive”.
I remember the 1990s. I grew up watching the X Files and Buffy and ER. Female doctors, female heroes, female FBI agents. Nobody made much of a thing about it.
That was the point of feminism, wasn’t it? To have all men and women treated as individuals first, and members of a gender second (or maybe not at all)?

The real lesson here is how little content matters to the modern journalist, how little they actually mean. Opinions are formed based on need and circumstance. Principles picked up dropped like accessories. Identity is everything.
If “women are naturally more cautious” had been written by a right-wing, male journalist, as an attack on female Labour Prime Minister? Well, then the Guardian would have been full of articles calling for the author’s resignation for misogyny. The studies she references, in another article at another time, would be have been “junk science” which “plays on old tropes”.
As much as we talk about progress, in many ways we are going backwards.
The Guardian is concerned about “anti-vaxxers” spreading “conspiracy theories” which will stop everyone from wanting the magical superfast vaccine when it arrives on the market.
How do they counter this “misinformation”? With science and rational debate?
Nope.
Instead they use cringey emotional blackmail:
the vaccine could be the world’s ticket out. The ticket to rebooting the economy, to travel, and to hugs. What happens if not enough people get vaccinated, and that ticket becomes invalid?
Hear that everyone? You’d better get that vaccine, or no more freedom and no more hugs!
Later they wheel out some psychologist to repeat all the familiar tropes about “conspiracy theories” being comforting for idiots (and plug his very creepy book at the same time):
“Whenever people are scared and they have a sense of losing control, that’s when these things emerge because for some people belief in a conspiracy is giving them comfort. It’s psychologically easier.”
And topping it all off with an anecdote about “Susan”, an otherwise anonymous Australian mother who didn’t use to believe in vaccination, but then had a good talk with a doctor, and now loves vaccines so much she’s volunteered to be a test case for the Covid19 jab. Seriously.
We recently published an article about mail-in voting. How it’s insecure, historically much easier to cheat, and how despite all that (or maybe because of it), there is a concentrated push to talk-up the advantages of postal voting.
This kind of article, pointing out that since Trump hates something it must automatically be good, is exactly the kind of lazy rhetoric beloved of propagandists everywhere. No argument is provided at all.
That’s WHY you spend years pretending Trump is some kind of uniquely evil monster-lunatic, so that all you have to do is associate an idea/cause/person with him, and they are instantly discredited.
There’s even an admission that huge amounts of postal ballots could make it appearthere has been some corruption [our emphasis]:
Unlike past elections, America is unlikely to know the winner of the presidential race on election night as officials count ballots coming in (some states allow ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked by election day) […]The candidate who appears to be ahead on election day may ultimately end up losing as more ballots are counted.
But, at the same time, they insist this would be meaningless, that (despite all the evidence) attacks on postal voting are “baseless”, and that anybody challenging the results of an election on that basis would be creating a “constitutional crisis”.
Clearly a set up to defend possibly rigged elections down the line.
BONUS – The Incurable Blandness of Freeman
I don’t know if any of you read Hadley Freeman much. I wouldn’t, if tracking Guardian content hadn’t accidentally become a quasi profession. She’s dreadful. Insultingly dreadful.
Her columns are dashed through with identity politics, “feminism” and name-dropping anecdotes about famous people she’s met. But really they mostly reveal is that she’s lived a pretty sheltered life, and can’t seem to imagine anybody else may not have done.
See her recent output throughout the “crisis”: Two weeks ago she was bemoaning the passing of the hotel breakfast buffet.
Yesterday she was totting up the “suffering” of lockdown, entirely through the medium of working from home and having to look after your children. The assumption that everyone out there is so comfortable and soft and suburban that they would relate to her experience and not, for instance, curl their lip at the disgusting shallowness of the take, is bizarre.
No words about the homeless, or those people who can’t pay rent because they lost their jobs, or cancer patients waiting on treatment while hospitals sit 40% empty, or the old people being killed by neglect. The real suffering is not just not mentioned, I honestly don’t think she has any conception of it. Just terrifyingly awful.
