As the disastrous ‘lockdown’ policy drags on in America, some state governors have empowered police to intimidate and harassing those citizens not obeying ‘stay at home orders.’ How did this happen over night? It seems that broad government claims regarding the true nature and fatality rate of Coronavirus have provided the State with a pretext to shutdown freedom of movement, visiting family, and even attending religious services.
News presenter Tucker Carlson challenges the legal and constitutional basis for the current authoritarian trend in the US. Watch:

EDITORS NOTE: While this documentary is groundbreaking in the sense that it is one of the first ever comprehensive exposures of the environmental fraud which underpins ‘sustainable energy’ and the much celebrated Green New Deal, towards the end of the film director Jeff Gibbs veers into extremist ‘depopulation’ rhetoric, and infers that a radical social engineering agenda must be pursued in order to achieve population control – which he believes will somehow stop a ‘human-caused extinction event’ due to man-made CO2-induced ‘climate change.’ Putting aside that radical ideological segue by Gibbs, on balance, the film remains a powerful piece of investigative journalism which goes a long way towards challenging the green orthodoxy on widely held assumptions surrounding ‘green’ energy and sustainable development – which is crucial in advancing a fact-based discussion on how the world will realistically meet its energy needs in the future, as well as shining a light on the transnational profiteers who are pushing Wall Street’s ‘Green New Deal’ speculative energy market.
Executive produced by activist and filmmaker Michael Moore, the new documentary Planet of the Humans, dares to say what no one else will say on this Earth Day — the leading ‘green’ environmental activists, including Al Gore, have taken their followers down the wrong road — selling out the real environmental movement to some of wealthy corporate interests in America and he world. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: the mainstream environmental movement is pushing lies in the form of various techno-fixes and band-aids – all of which are reliant and use large quantities of fossil fuels and rare earth minerals. Have environmentalists fallen for a “green” illusion? More than any other documentary to date, this film exposes the wholesale fraud behind subsidized industries like biomass fuels, wind turbines, and even not-so ‘green’ electric car.

Few Americans realize that the US Federal Reserve Bank has just piled $6 trillion in assets on its ledger. What happens when those assets turn to losses? Remember 2008 subprime mortgage crash? In short: the banking profits are privatized, while their losses are socialized (the people will pay in the end).
“The Pan-depression continues apace, assisted by data-immune “doctors” and chatty central bankers who don’t have the decency to wear a bag over their heads–or even a mask–when they say we need to shovel trillions to “the wrong people.” Check six, folks, we’re just getting started and it’s ugly already.” All of this financial wizardry is explained by host John Titus of Mafiacracy Now.

21stcenturywire--2020-05-04--Nobel Laureate: ‘Coronavirus Lockdown Policy Was Huge Mistake, There Will Be a Reckoning’

This is a very revealing interview .
As the US and UK continue their disastrous ‘ lockdown ’ policy , derelict politicians and mainstream media pundits are slow to acknowledge the serious damage on the economic and societal fronts is building .
Leaders seem determined to double-down of what seems to be a failed policy of virus containment even though scientists had already shown that the crisis had in fact peaked some weeks ago .
According to Professor Michael Levitt from Standford University ’ s School of Medicine , “ There is no doubt in my mind , that when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives by a huge factor.
” In other words , the ‘ cure ’ of government mandated mass-quarantine is actually worse than the disease .
Prof. Levitt also points out that Sweden should be seen as a clear winner in term of its choice to avoid lockdown policy .
Prof Levitt believes the UK was actually on the right path when Boris Johnson had initially unveiled a plan similar to Sweden ’ s , but was then quickly pressured by a media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ lockdown ’ approach .
“ I think the policy of herd immunity is the right policy .
I think Britain was on exactly the right track before they were fed wrong numbers .
And they made a huge mistake.

UnHerd reports…
As he is careful to point out, Professor Michael Levitt is not an epidemiologist. He’s Professor of Structural Biology at the Stanford School of Medicine, and winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for “the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems.” He’s a numbers guy — as he told us in our interview, his wife says he loves numbers more than her — but then, much of modern science is really about statistics (as his detractors never tire of pointing out, Professor Neil Ferguson is a theoretical physicist by training).
With a purely statistical perspective, he has been playing close attention to the Covid-19 pandemic since January, when most of us were not even aware of it. He first spoke out in early February, when through analysing the numbers of cases and deaths in Hubei province he predicted with remarkable accuracy that the epidemic in that province would top out at around 3,250 deaths.
His observation is a simple one: that in outbreak after outbreak of this disease, a similar mathematical pattern is observable regardless of government interventions. After around a two week exponential growth of cases (and, subsequently, deaths) some kind of break kicks in, and growth starts slowing down. The curve quickly becomes “sub-exponential”.
This may seem like a technical distinction, but its implications are profound. The ‘unmitigated’ scenarios modelled by (among others) Imperial College, and which tilted governments across the world into drastic action, relied on a presumption of continued exponential growth — that with a consistent R number of significantly above 1 and a consistent death rate, very quickly the majority of the population would be infected and huge numbers of deaths would be recorded. But Professor Levitt’s point is that that hasn’t actually happened anywhere, even in countries that have been relatively lax in their responses.
He takes specific issue with the Neil Ferguson paper. “In a footnote to a table it said, assuming exponential growth of 15% for six days. Now I had looked at China and had never seen exponential growth that wasn’t decaying rapidly.”
The explanation for this flattening that we are used to is that social distancing and lockdowns have slowed the curve, but he is unconvinced. As he put it to me, in the subsequent examples to China of South Korea, Iran and Italy, “the beginning of the epidemics showed a slowing down and it was very hard for me to believe that those three countries could practice social distancing as well as China.” He believes that both some degree of prior immunity and large numbers of asymptomatic cases are important factors.
Prof Levitt was joining us down the line from Tel Aviv and we had intermittent bandwidth issues which have done our best to edit out. Watch:
.
(con’t) He also observes that the total number of deaths we are seeing, in places as diverse as New York City, parts of England, parts of France and Northern Italy, all seem to level out at a very similar fraction of the total population. “Are they all practicing equally good social distancing? I don’t think so.” He disagrees with Sir David Spiegelhalter’s calculations that the totem is around one additional year of excess deaths, while (by adjusting to match the effects seen on the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship) he calculates that it is more like one month of excess death that is need before the virus peters out.
More generally, he complains that epidemiologists only seem to be called wrong if they underestimate deaths, and so there is an intrinsic bias towards caution. “They see their role as scaring people into doing something, and I understand that… but in my work, if I say a number is too small and I’m wrong, or too big and I’m wrong, both of those errors are the same.”
On the moral issue of lockdown as a measure to supposedly “save lives”, Dr. Levitt explains,”When we come to look back on this, the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives – by a huge factor.”
“Economists have a very simple way of of looking at death. They don’t count people, (rather) they come to the conclusion that if you’re 20 (years old) and you die that’s a greater loss than if you’re 85, and you die. It’s a hard issue, but …. are we evaluating the potential of future – like of the 20 year old, or are we valuing the loss of a more senior person by what’s called DALY, ‘Disability-Adjusted Life Years.’ Basically, if somebody is in their 80’s and has Alzheimer’s disease and then dies from pneumonia perhaps due to Corona, that is less of a ‘loss’ than if a 15 year old is riding his motorcycle, or his bike, and gets run over. So this is an important way of looking at the death.”
Levitt also believes the much-discussed R0 is a faulty number. R0 is a mathematical term which is meant to indicate how contagious an infectious disease is by calculating its reproduction number. The R0 (or “R number” as the British PM Boris Johnson has renamed it), was made popular in Hollywood films, and can be highly misleading. It is more a theoretical representation, and is presently being misused by some officials, and is essentially meaningless without the time infectious alongside. In other words, the R0 is meaningless without the context of the time in which a case is ‘infectious.’
He describes indiscriminate lockdown measures as “a huge mistake,” and advocates a “smart lockdown” policy, focused on more effective measures, focused on protecting elderly people.
“I think the policy of herd immunity is the right policy. I think Britain was on exactly the right track before they were fed wrong numbers. And they made a huge mistake. I see the standout winners as Germany and Sweden. They didn’t practice too much lockdown and they got enough people sick to get some herd immunity. I see the standout losers as countries like Austria, Australia and Israel that had very strict lockdown but didn’t have many cases. They have damaged their economies, caused massive social damage, damaged the educational year of their children, but not obtained any herd immunity.”

21stcenturywire--2020-05-04--Dr. Ioannidis on Dangers of Collateral Damage from COIVD-19 ‘Lockdown’ Policy

Here , Dr. John Ioannidis discusses the results of Stanford University ’ s preliminary serology study showing how many more people in California have already had Coronavirus which means the actual infection fatality rate is much lower than previous claims by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) and western governments .
In fact , according to Dr. Ioannidis , the infection fatality rate is likely to be “ in the same ballpark as seasonal influenza , ” and that the overall risk of dying from COVID-19 in a country like Germany is the equivalent to the risk of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or even less.
” Also , non-lockdown country Sweden now appears to be a success story in comparison to those countries who opted for the experimental and highly draconian lockdown policy .
By choosing a common sense policy over a mass-panic approach of the UK , France or the US , Sweden has avoided horrific collateral damage including a high prevalence of suicides which will now result from Government-mandated mass unemployment policy being pushed by US and UK governments .
Press and the Public Project and filmmaker John Kirby have documented how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are part of a growing army of data , including some revised estimates of Imperial College and America ’ s CDC , ( as well as the original work of Dr. Anthony Fauci himself ) , which show that COVID was never the Plague which governments and media claimed it was in the first place .

Despite the fact the real scientists have actually confirmed that the UK’s COVID crisis had already peaked on at least April 8th, government leaders are telling the public that they must remain under ‘lockdown’ for another month, or under some form of ‘social distancing’ control for the foreseeable future. What is the scientific basis for such government claims? What is the real objective continuing lockdown?

When Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Antin Massihi held an impromptu press conference on April 22nd to discuss the results of their regional testing program and other findings regarding the general health and welfare of their community, the video went viral reaching some five million views, before Google’s department of censorship felt it had no choice but to remove it for fear that their honest and factual testimony may undermine public confidence in draconian COVID-19 lockdown policy. According YouTube, the video was taken down because it had “violated community standards.” Since then, they have continued to speak out against the prevailing orthodoxy, and to share their findings with the intention of helping people who are struggling through the current crisis.
John Kirby, a filmmaker with Press & the Public Project, said, “We followed up with the doctors to determine what was so dangerous about their message. What we discovered were reasonable and well-meaning professionals whose voices should be heard.”

21stcenturywire--2020-05-05--Hitchens on UK COVID Crisis: ‘We Face Months of Continuing Idiocy’

As the COVID-19 crisis continues to abate , rather than relax draconian ‘ lockdown ’ measures , certain governments like the UK and France are choosing instead to carry on with the systematic implosion of their economies and societies .
This is certainly a puzzling state of affairs and highly counter intuitive , especially considering the fact the other non-lockdown countries like Sweden have already come through the crisis with minimal casualties .
What ’ s more , the public are being constantly told by government officials that lockdowns are all about “ saving lives.
” Upon closer examination , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hold water , not least of all as evidence of massive collateral damage is already visible and will continue to threaten people , families and destabilize society for months , years or decades , depending on how long governments are intent on keeping the pressure on their citizens .
The public is now asking : on what legitimate basis have government ‘ experts ’ triggered mass-panic and proceeded to make such sweeping and world-changing policy decisions ?
The following is a moving piece by Peter Hitchens a columnist at The Mail On Sunday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most forthright and outspoken critics of the UK ’ s ‘ lockdown ’ policy since the very beginning of this this crisis… ‘ We ’ re destroying the nation ’ s wealth – and the health of millions ’ PICTURED : UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has finally reappeared after taking an extended sick leave .
Why do I bother ?
For six weeks now I have been saying that the Government ’ s policy on Covid-19 is a mistake .
Most people do not agree with me , and many are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Others , bafflingly , don ’ t care about the greatest crisis I have seen in my lifetime , and regard the debate as a spectator sport .
Let me say it again : the coronavirus is not as dangerous as claimed .
Other comparable epidemics have taken place with far less fuss , and we have survived them .
The death rate is lower than the Government believed .
It passed its peak in this country on April 8 , well before the crazy measures introduced by the Government on March 23 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actions we are taking against it are gravely out of proportion and will destroy the lives of thousands and the prosperity and health of millions .
This is not life versus money .
It is life versus life .
It has not been much fun fighting this .
In fact , it has been exhausting and dispiriting .
I feel as if I am in a nightmare where I can see a terrible danger approaching but when I cry out in warning , nobody can hear me .
Can ’ t you see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you don ’ t defend your most basic freedom , the one to go lawfully where you wish when you wish , then you will lose it for ever .
And that is not all you will lose .
Look at the censorship of the internet , spreading like a great dark blot , the death of Parliament , the conversion of the police into a state militia ?
Aren ’ t you alarmed by the creation of a creepy cult of state-worship , celebrated every Thursday night – in a country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are banned ?

As the COVID-19 crisis continues to abate, rather than relax draconian ‘lockdown’ measures, certain governments like the UK and France are choosing instead to carry on with the systematic implosion of their economies and societies. This is certainly a puzzling state of affairs and highly counter intuitive, especially considering the fact the other non-lockdown countries like Sweden have already come through the crisis with minimal casualties. What’s more, the public is being constantly told by government officials that lockdowns are all about “saving lives.” Upon closer examination, the government argument does not appear to hold water, not least of all as evidence of massive collateral damage is already visible and will continue to threaten people, families and destabilize society for months, years or decades, depending on how long governments are intent on keeping the pressure on their citizens.
The public is now asking: on what legitimate basis have government ‘experts’ triggered mass-panic and proceeded to make such sweeping and world-changing policy decisions?
The following is a moving piece by Peter Hitchens a columnist at The Mail On Sunday, and who has remained one of the most forthright and outspoken critics of the UK’s ‘lockdown’ policy since the very beginning of this this crisis…
‘We’re destroying the nation’s wealth – and the health of millions’
.
PICTURED: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has finally reappeared after taking an extended sick leave .
Why do I bother? For six weeks now I have been saying that the Government’s policy on Covid-19 is a mistake.
Most people do not agree with me, and many are angry with me for saying so.
Others, bafflingly, don’t care about the greatest crisis I have seen in my lifetime, and regard the debate as a spectator sport.
Let me say it again: the coronavirus is not as dangerous as claimed. Other comparable epidemics have taken place with far less fuss, and we have survived them.
The death rate is lower than the Government believed. It passed its peak in this country on April 8, well before the crazy measures introduced by the Government on March 23 could possibly have affected matters.
The actions we are taking against it are gravely out of proportion and will destroy the lives of thousands and the prosperity and health of millions. This is not life versus money. It is life versus life.
It has not been much fun fighting this. In fact, it has been exhausting and dispiriting.
I feel as if I am in a nightmare where I can see a terrible danger approaching but when I cry out in warning, nobody can hear me. Can’t you see? I yell in the dream.
If you don’t defend your most basic freedom, the one to go lawfully where you wish when you wish, then you will lose it for ever.
And that is not all you will lose. Look at the censorship of the internet, spreading like a great dark blot, the death of Parliament, the conversion of the police into a state militia?
Aren’t you alarmed by the creation of a creepy cult of state-worship, celebrated every Thursday night – in a country where church services and normal public gatherings are banned?
When did you last hear an anti-government voice on the BBC, now little more than a servile state broadcaster?
And then can you not see the strangling of the prosperity on which everything we hold dear is based?
I mentioned the other day to a hard-working small business owner that a shop well known to me was down to ten per cent of its normal takings.
Lucky him!’ exclaimed the businessman, ‘I have had no income at all for weeks, and I have no hope of any. But I am still having to pay my rent and power bills, and interest on my loans.’
In the poorer districts of my hometown, scrawled notices are starting to appear telling tenants: ‘If you can’t pay your rent, you can’t be evicted during Covid Lockdown.’
I have no idea if this is true but I am sure that plenty of tenants are not paying and plenty of landlords are losing what they thought was guaranteed income. You don’t care? You will.
In these and so many other cases, the normal flow of money in exchange for work, services and goods has just stopped.
Imagine if something similar were happening to your own body. You would be desperately sick and only urgent aid would save you from long-term damage. But where is that urgent aid?
The country is having a gigantic self-inflicted heart attack and stroke combined. Heaven knows what sort of trembling, weakened shadow of its former self it will be when this is over.
I think I can guarantee that it – and we – will need to take many doses of very bitter medicine for as far into the future as it is possible to see.
And yet no help comes. The absurd jocular Mr Bumble who we have chosen to be our national leader at this time has no sense of urgency at all.
As he stammers and brays, and does his Churchill impression, it is clear that he has no serious plan to bring this nonsense to an end.
Well, this is where it really starts to matter. We are about a fortnight from the moment when huge numbers of jobs will be in danger of permanent extinction.
The only choice will be to spend so much non-existent money that even the wild gamblers who have taken over HM Treasury are scared to do it.
But here’s the problem for Mr Bumble. He did not just panic himself. He spread fear far and wide. More than half the population have been literally scared silly.
You meet them on pathways and pavements, flinching with real alarm at the approach of another human being as if bubonic plague were abroad. They genuinely fear to go back to normal life.
And Mr Bumble dare not take them on. For to do so he would have to admit that he had been wrong, and the great pyramid of fear on which his authority is based would crumble away.
He is like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in the Disney film Fantasia, who casts a spell to summon an army of automatons to carry water for him, and is almost drowned because he cannot undo the incantation.
He cannot stop what he began. If someone else cannot stop it for him, it may destroy him.
So we face months of continuing idiocy, as the wealth of centuries is frittered away for nothing and we sink into a grim penury, made worse by the increasing lack of freedom and the insolence of authority.
Eventually there will be an accounting for this. It ought to be soon, and I hope it will be.
But if not, it will be important that protests such as mine were made and heard at the time.
Nobody will be able to say, when the much-needed inquiry eventually sits in judgment on these times and on those responsible, that criticism is just hindsight and that nobody pointed out at the time that a grave mistake was being made.

He also presented data which gives an indication of an “Infected Fatality Rate” (IFR), eg. the percentage of people infected who will end up dying. New findings show a COVID-19 infection fatality rate of between 0.24 – 0.36% (as opposed to Neil Ferguson who claims the IFR to be just under 1%, perhaps 0.8-0.9%). Previous interviews with UnHerd, with experts like Johan Giesecke who believes the IFR is closer to 0.1%, or one in a thousand.
The difference between IFR is important, not least of all because this statistic will be used by governments to determine he relative severity of the threat in question. After UK ‘experts’ like Prof. Ferguson had massively overestimated the IFR, Boris Johnson’s government then switched course – away from a more common sense, science-based approach like Sweden, and instead implemented an experimental Medieval-style quarantine, or “lockdown” method, to try and contain the coronavirus. In the end, the UK policy turned out to be a disaster, leading to an unprecedented economic catastrophe as well as the highest COVID death totals in Europe.
UnHerd says: “This may sound like splitting hairs — they are both under one percent after all — but in reality, the difference between these estimates changes everything. At the lower end, a much more laissez-faire policy becomes possible, and at 30,000 deaths it starts to look like the UK has already been through the worst of it; at the higher end, a policy of continued ultra-caution is necessary because a more relaxed approach could mean hundreds of thousands of additional deaths.”
Streeck also gave some insightful analysis on the differences in contagious ability of SARS1 and the new SARS-CoV2, as well as what factors might determine immunity, and what sort of ‘social distancing’ might be useful going forward.

21stcenturywire--2020-05-05--PRESCIENT: How Stephen King TV Series Eerily Mirrors COVID-19 Crisis

In 2003 , an American TV science fiction drama series on USA Network called The Dead Zone aired an episode entitled “ Plague ” which features a plot line that ’ s not only eerily similar to the present day COVID-19 crisis – it ’ s near identical .

It stars Anthony Michael Hall as Johnny Smith , a man who has developed special psychic abilities following a near death experience .
In this episode , Smith has a vision of an outbreak of a deadly virus in the town .
The similarities between this plot line to the present day SARS-CoV2 pandemic are nothing short of incredible , and features the following : • The Coronavirus reproduces in the nasal and throat area , and symptoms including high fever and severe respiratory distress like SARS .
• Authorities then deploy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by mass contact tracing and quarantine for anyone who has come in contract with a symptomatic person .
• The story also introduces the term “ Lockdown ” as the name of the emergency measure for quarantine .

The shows writers include Michael Piller ( creator ) , Jeremy Bernstein ( story ) , Jill E. Blotevogel ( teleplay ) , and of course Stephen King ( characters and novel adaptation ) .

21stcenturywire--2020-05-06--SURF’S UP: California Beach Towns Challenging Gov. Newsom’s ‘Overreach’ Order on Coastline Closures

Huntington Beach Mayor Lyn Semeta appeared earlier this week on the Fox News program “ The Story ” and confirmed that her city has filed a constitutional challenge of California Governor Gavin Newsom ’ s recent order to close down Orange County beaches .
Dana Point has also joined the lawsuit .
Protests in Huntington Beach ramped up over the weekend ( pictured above ) in response to the order .
The Fox News presenter asked Mayor Semeta whether Gov .
Newsom ’ s beach crackdown was ordered because people had “ defied ( shelter-in-place ) orders by going surfing.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ officers and beach police , in fact , reported the opposite and that the vast majority of the people out on the surf were observing social distancing guidelines .
Shortly after the state order took effect last week , Huntington Beach City Counsel voted 5-2 to pursue legal action to challenge the beach closures .
An injunction was filed immediately against the order with the next hearing set for May 11 , according to City Attorney Michael Gates .
“ We were surprised .
He ( Gov .
Newsom ) looked at photographs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made a decision based on that .
We have filed a challenge , a constitutional challenge joined by a couple other cities here in Orange County , and we will be pursuing that .
We feel like it ’ s an overreach , constitutionally .

And really Orange County should be looked at as a model for how to manage this crisis .
We think it ’ s important to get that question answered…whether that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Governor.
” The mayor of ‘ Surf City USA ‘ previously stated that Orange County has some of the lowest per-capita COVID-19 death rates in California , and that the beach closures prioritized “ politics over data ” – contradicting Newsom ’ s policy of using science and facts to guide the state ’ s response to the public health crisis .
Huntington Beach , Seal Beach , Laguna Beach and Dana Point have all since gained state approval in the last few days for a ‘ limited ’ reopening of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following restrictions : Huntington Beach currently has 230 COVID-19 cases out of a population of 203,761 .
Official health reporting for Orange County is available here .
In the nearby city of Newport Beach , Councilman Kevin Muldoon filed a personal lawsuit in federal court also challenging the constitutionality of the beach closure order .
Newport Beach has yet to gain approval to reopen its sands to the public .

On January 25 , 2019 , it was announced that the Golden State was suing the city for ‘ deliberately blocking affordable housing ‘ after it amended a previous plan that would have provided additional affordable housing units to be built .
Though the beach town has reopened to the public , at least partially for the time being , the city is intent on pursuing its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ constitutional overreach .

The Fox News presenter asked Mayor Semeta whether Gov. Newsom’s beach crackdown was ordered because people had “defied (shelter-in-place) orders by going surfing.”
Semeta responded by saying marine safety officers and beach police, in fact, reported the opposite and that the vast majority of the people out on the surf were observing social distancing guidelines.
Shortly after the state order took effect last week, Huntington Beach City Counsel voted 5-2 to pursue legal action to challenge the beach closures. An injunction was filed immediately against the order with the next hearing set for May 11, according to City Attorney Michael Gates.
Semeta (picture above, middle) specifically addressed the beach closure order:
“We were surprised. He (Gov. Newsom) looked at photographs put out there by media outlets and made a decision based on that. We have filed a challenge, a constitutional challenge joined by a couple other cities here in Orange County, and we will be pursuing that. We feel like it’s an overreach, constitutionally. It wasn’t based on data, and the data doesn’t bear that out. And really Orange County should be looked at as a model for how to manage this crisis. We think it’s important to get that question answered…whether that was an overreach by the authority of the Governor.”
The mayor of ‘Surf City USA‘ previously stated that Orange County has some of the lowest per-capita COVID-19 death rates in California, and that the beach closures prioritized “politics over data” – contradicting Newsom’s policy of using science and facts to guide the state’s response to the public health crisis.
Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point have all since gained state approval in the last few days for a ‘limited’ reopening of their coastlines for recreational use, with the following restrictions:
Allows active recreational activities
Physical distancing required
Ocean open to water activites
Passive games, loitering and sunbathing prohibited
Pier, playgrounds and picnic areas closed
Huntington Beach currently has 230 COVID-19 cases out of a population of 203,761. Official health reporting for Orange County is available here.
In the nearby city of Newport Beach, Councilman Kevin Muldoon filed a personal lawsuit in federal court also challenging the constitutionality of the beach closure order. Newport Beach has yet to gain approval to reopen its sands to the public.

To add insult to (national) injury, yesterday the bottom fell out of the official narrative after Prof. Neil Ferguson, the architect of the Boris Johnson’s lockdown narrative, abruptly resigned from his government advisory post after it was discovered he had violated government guidelines on social distancing whist having an affair with a married woman who traveled halfway across London to his flat. But the controversy didn’t end there – when pressed to explain the government’s ‘science’ position on the COVID crisis, Ferguson’s numbers simply didn’t add up. All this and much more.

In December 1917, Europe was immersed in the First World War—one of the most vicious, insane wars the world had ever witnessed. After learning about the high casualty toll and the horrific nature of trench warfare, which included the use of poison gas, Britain’s prime minister, David Lloyd George, confided in a private conversation to C. P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian:
“If people really knew [the truth], the war would be stopped tomorrow. But of course, they don’t know, and can’t know.”
Just over a century later, here we are, yet again, immersed in a global war. However, this war, which is ostensibly sold to all of us as a battle to “stop the spread of the coronavirus,” is in reality a war devised by “the powers-that-shouldn’t-be” to remove the last remnants of humanity’s inherent freedoms and liberties.
And, just like all of the previous criminal wars throughout human history—the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and every other subsequent conflict—if people around the world knew the truth about this war, it would come to a screeching halt overnight.
Through all of my years of research in matters relating to war, I have come to understand one very important thing: When human societies lose their freedom, it’s usually not because the monarch, the state, or some dictator has overtly taken it away. Rather, it is lost because too many people willingly surrender their freedom in return for protection from some perceived (real or imagined) menace.
That menace is typically manufactured by the state and is designed to stir up such a torrent of fear in the mind of citizens that they pressure their politicians to implement measures against the fabricated threat.
Unfortunately, it rarely occurs to the public to ask:
Are we simply reacting to an orchestrated threat?
Will the protective measures we’re demanding of our leaders actually work?
Or will “the cure” being offered to us be worse than “the disease”?
Sadly, we seem to have not learned from history that, once the state is asked by the citizenry to respond to a danger, it will do so with a drastic course of action—with rights-restricting rules that will never be removed once imposed. This is exactly how societies become despotisms.
To be sure, there is a seasonal influenza, a coronavirus, currently sweeping around the world, just as the flu does every year, like clockwork. And, yes, this particular coronavirus seems to pose a serious health hazard to the elderly and to anyone with underlying medical issues. However, one crucial question has being avoided by officials and the public alike: Is this outbreak of an infectious disease called COVID-19 serious enough to warrant the draconian countermeasures that all governments—with the exception of Sweden—have initiated?
Those counteractions have done a number on communities everywhere:
collapsing local economies and, in a ripple effect, the world economy
sending millions upon millions of people to the unemployment line
imprisoning millions of honest, hard-working citizens in their homes
bankrupting countless mid-size and small businesses (and destroying the dreams and livelihoods of their owners)
bringing out of the woodwork rules-obsessed busybodies who take delight in snitching on neighbours and strangers alike for not “social distancing”
unearthing every petty tyrant whose main mission in life is to ensure that every mask-less person is arrested and carted off to jail
policing quarantined areas with drones
tracking and surveilling all human beings who are ambulatory and have cell phones (if ants carried mobile phones into and out of their mounds, they’d doubtless be subject to triangulation tracking)
increasing stress and the incidence of flaring tempers among the homebound, which has resulted in a sharp escalation of domestic violence
saddling future generations with massive debt that can lead debtors into deep depression, permanent homelessness, possible suicide
Medical professionals are observing the entire state of affairs with increasing alarm. They are questioning the official coronavirus infection rates and noting the detrimental effects of the lockdown. Examples abound…

Today the Pentagon announced it will be removing four of its patriot missile batteries from Saudi Arabia, apparently as part of a planned rotation of its military hardware in the region. US officials have stated that they plan to still maintain ‘robust capabilities’ in the Middle East to counter Iran.
The four batteries of Patriot surface-to-air missiles were deployed to the Arabian Penninsula last year following attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Saudi Aramco oil facilities.
In addition to the draw-down of missiles, dozens of military personnel and technicians will also leave the sites and be reassigned, said US officials to the Wall Street Journal.
Also, two US fighter jet squadrons have also been reassigned, and US officials hinted that they may also consider a reduction in the Naval assets in the Persian Gulf.
Pentagon officials intimated that reductions are based on an assessment by the Trump administration’s National Security strategists that Iran no longer poses an immediate threat to US interests in the wider region.
This development could also signal a possible draw-down of remaining US forces illegally occupying northeastern Syria, although the US had just deployed two other sets of Patriot missile batteries in Iraq in order to “to protect Iraqi, coalition, and U.S. service members from a variety of air threats,” but Pentagon officials declined to say at the time whether these were in fact operational.
“For operational security reasons, we are not providing status updates as those systems come online,” said Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Sean Robertson to Stars and Stripes.
The systems were deployed to Irbil in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, and to al Asad Air Base in Anbar province.

On Sunday, British PM Boris Johnson will be announcing the UK government’s nudging plans for ending the country’s COVD-19 lockdown, and warned that recent media reports of easing restrictions was “not a reliable guide”. Scotland said that its lockdown will be extended and Northern Ireland said there was “no headroom” yet to ease the lockdown.
Despite the fact that the crisis had already peaked on April 8th – one full month ago, Downing Street is still insisting that lockdown measures cannot not be lifted ‘until changes can be safely made’. On Sunday, Johnson will unveil his ‘roadmap’ to exit lockdown, which appears to be designed to buy more time while the government figures out how to undo some of the damage done by the panic policy was initiated since March.
Former Governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, warned the government that there could be a “rebellion” if failing lockdown measures are not lifted soon. The biggest problem now for the UK government is the fact that non-lockdown states like Sweden have already passed through the crisis without having to suspend rights and democracy and implode their economy and society. In other words, non-lockdown nations have achieved equal or better results than lockdown countries like the UK – without all of the unnecessary collateral damage. Can the government exit this debacle without losing face?
