lewrockwell--2020-11-26--Former Pfizer Science Officer Reveals Great Covid-19 Scam

I ’ ve written several articles about scientists and medical doctors who question the official narrative about the COVID-19 pandemic and the global measures put into place because of it , from useless testing , mask wearing and social distancing , to lockdowns , tracking and tracing and the baseless fearmongering driving it all .
In the video above , British journalist Anna Brees interviews Michael Yeadon , Ph.D. , a former vice-president and chief scientific adviser of the drug company Pfizer and founder and CEO of the biotech company Ziarco , now owned by Novartis .
In it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ belief that widespread PCR testing is creating the false idea that the pandemic is resurging , as the total mortality rate is completely normal .
He also discusses his concerns about COVID-19 vaccine mandates .
Vitamin D3 ( 5000iu/125 ... Best Price : null Buy New $ 15.95 ( $ 0.04 / Count ) As I explained in “ Asymptomatic ‘ Casedemic ’ Is a Perpetuation of Needless Fear , ” by using PCR testing , which can not diagnose active infection , a false narrative has been created .
Currently , rising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , are again being used as the justification to impose more severe restrictions , including lockdowns and mandatory mask wearing , when in fact positive tests have nothing to do with the actual spread of illness .
According to Yeadon , the U.K. has now tested an estimated 30 million people , or close to half of the population .
“ A large number of those tests have been recent , ” Yeadon says , noting that the definition of a “ coronavirus death ” in the U.K. is anyone who dies , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a positive COVID-19 test .
So , what we ’ re seeing now is a natural death rate — about 1,700 people die each day in the U.K. in any given year , Yeadon says — but many of these deaths are now falsely attributed to COVID-19 .
“ I ’ m calling out the statistics , and even the claim that there is an ongoing pandemic , as false , ” he says .
He challenges anyone who doesn ’ t believe him to seek out any database on total mortality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will find that the daily death count is “ absolutely bang-on normal , ” Yeadon says .
For some months , the death count is actually slightly lower than the average norm over the past five years .
And , he adds , “ You can not have a lethal pandemic stalking the land and not have excess deaths.
” NatureWise Vitamin D3 ... Buy New $ 14.99 ( $ 0.04 / Count ) Lack of Routine Medical Care Is Causing Uptick in Deaths The slight uptick in deaths that are now being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to COVID-19 , he insists .
Data show these deaths — primarily people aged 45 to 65 , with equal distribution between the sexes — are mainly from heart disease , stroke and cancer , which suggests they are excess deaths caused by inaccessibility of routine medical care as people are either afraid or discouraged from going to the hospital .
These deaths may be characterized as being COVID related , but that ’ s only because they have been falsely lumped into that category due to false positives being recorded within 28 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are being tested very regularly , and the rate of false positives is extremely high .
All hospital patients are also tested upon admission , so when they die — regardless of the cause — they ’ re likely to have a false positive on their record , which then lumps them into the death tally for COVID-19 .
Can You Get Reinfected ?
Yeadon also says he ’ s “ sick and tired ” of people claiming that immunity against SARS-CoV-2 may wane after a short time , leaving you vulnerable to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ill with COVID-19 and recover , you will have antibodies against the virus , and you will be immune , he says .
NatureWise Vitamin D3 ... Buy New $ 14.99 ( $ 0.04 / Count ) He understands that journalists may get this wrong , or may be given incorrect information , but if a scientist says this , “ they are lying to you , ” he says .
Yeadon categorically denies the premise that you can recover from COVID-19 and later get reinfected and experience severe illness again .
According @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ways by which COVID-19 would not provide lasting immunity .
The first would be if it destroys your immune system .
The HIV virus , for example , which causes AIDS , disarms your immune system , causing permanent impairment .
Hence you do not become immune to the HIV virus .
Coronaviruses do not do that .
The second way is if the virus mutates , which is common among influenza viruses .
If the virus mutates , your immune system may not fully recognize it and will have to mount a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of antibodies .
However , coronaviruses are genetically stable , Yeadon says .
As noted by Yeadon , people are now changing the laws of immunology , which simply shouldn ’ t happen .
This should not be a political issue , but somehow it is being treated as one .
He claims to have no ideas at all as to why these false narratives are being created , and why scientific truth that contradicts the mainstream narrative is being censored .
Others , however , have become more outspoken about this issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being used as a convenient excuse and justification for redistribution of wealth and the technocratic takeover of the whole world under the banner of a Great Reset to a “ more equitable ” social order and greener commerce .

When making public health decisions , you need to calculate the cost in terms of lives saved and the price in dollars and cents of saving those people , against the cost of not implementing the measure in question .
This is not being done .
The question is why is such an illogical stance being taken ?
Toward the end of the interview , Yeadon addresses the issue of COVID-19 vaccination .
Many are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rightfully so .
Vaccine passports are already being rolled out , and all the indicators point to vaccination becoming a requirement for travel , perhaps even within national borders .
Having spent his career in the pharmaceutical industry , Yeadon fully supports vaccination , believing they prevent large numbers of deaths .
However , when it comes to SARS-CoV-2 , he believes the vaccine will only benefit the elderly .
For those over 80 , a vaccine might give them a few more months of life .
“ Nobody else needs this [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ You don ’ t vaccinate a population because 1 in 1 million might have a bad outcome [ from the infection ] .
” He also strongly believes the vaccine must be voluntary : In an open letter to the British health minister , Yeadon wrote:2 What Can You Do ?
In his interview with Brees , Yeadon suggests medical professionals , especially those who are members of a professional society , who disagree with further pandemic measures — based on the medical facts — write an open letter to the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heed the recommendations from independent experts .
Arm yourself with mortality statistics and the facts on PCR testing , so you can explain how and why this pandemic simply isn ’ t a pandemic anymore .
First and foremost , there are no excess deaths .
The same number of people have died this year that , on average , have died in previous years .
This simply wouldn ’ t be the case if we had a lethal pandemic .
Second , the PCR test is not a valid diagnostic tool and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ re now doing it .
The high rate of false positives is only fodder for needless fearmongering .
“ People should demand to know what [ the false positive ] rate is , ” Yeadon says .
Additionally , “ testing people who are well — it ’ s just a madcap thing , ” he says .
Virtually no one who is asymptomatic has the live virus , but when you run the test at a cycle threshold over 30 , meaning you amplify the viral RNA more than 30 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positive test even if the virus is inactive and noninfectious .

PCR Testing Is Causing a False ‘Casedemic’
As I explained in “Asymptomatic ‘Casedemic’ Is a Perpetuation of Needless Fear,” by using PCR testing, which cannot diagnose active infection, a false narrative has been created.
Currently, rising “cases,” meaning positive tests, are again being used as the justification to impose more severe restrictions, including lockdowns and mandatory mask wearing, when in fact positive tests have nothing to do with the actual spread of illness.
According to Yeadon, the U.K. has now tested an estimated 30 million people, or close to half of the population. “A large number of those tests have been recent,” Yeadon says, noting that the definition of a “coronavirus death” in the U.K. is anyone who dies, from any cause, within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test.
You cannot have a lethal pandemic stalking the land and not have excess deaths. ~ Michael Yeadon, Ph.D.
So, what we’re seeing now is a natural death rate — about 1,700 people die each day in the U.K. in any given year, Yeadon says — but many of these deaths are now falsely attributed to COVID-19. “I’m calling out the statistics, and even the claim that there is an ongoing pandemic, as false,” he says.
He challenges anyone who doesn’t believe him to seek out any database on total mortality. If you do that, you will find that the daily death count is “absolutely bang-on normal,” Yeadon says.

Lack of Routine Medical Care Is Causing Uptick in Deaths
The slight uptick in deaths that are now being reported simply aren’t directly due to COVID-19, he insists. Data show these deaths — primarily people aged 45 to 65, with equal distribution between the sexes — are mainly from heart disease, stroke and cancer, which suggests they are excess deaths caused by inaccessibility of routine medical care as people are either afraid or discouraged from going to the hospital.
These deaths may be characterized as being COVID related, but that’s only because they have been falsely lumped into that category due to false positives being recorded within 28 days of death.
Again, people are being tested very regularly, and the rate of false positives is extremely high. All hospital patients are also tested upon admission, so when they die — regardless of the cause — they’re likely to have a false positive on their record, which then lumps them into the death tally for COVID-19.
“The longer you stay in hospital, the more likely you are to die, obviously,” Yeadon says. “You would be released if you were well and improving. So … long-stay patients are both more likely to die statistically, and much more likely to be tested so often that they’ll have a false positive test.
That is what I think is happening … It’s a convenience for someone playing some macabre game, because I don’t think it’s an error anymore … I’ve spoken to people in [public health] and they’re embarrassed that they’re not even being allowed to characterize and publish the information you would need to know to work out how useful the test is. That’s not being done.”
Can You Get Reinfected?
Yeadon also says he’s “sick and tired” of people claiming that immunity against SARS-CoV-2 may wane after a short time, leaving you vulnerable to reinfection. If you’ve been ill with COVID-19 and recover, you will have antibodies against the virus, and you will be immune, he says. NatureWise Vitamin D3 ... Buy New $14.99 ($0.04 / Count) (as of 11:50 UTC - Details)
He understands that journalists may get this wrong, or may be given incorrect information, but if a scientist says this, “they are lying to you,” he says. Yeadon categorically denies the premise that you can recover from COVID-19 and later get reinfected and experience severe illness again.
According to Yeadon, there are only two ways by which COVID-19 would not provide lasting immunity. The first would be if it destroys your immune system. The HIV virus, for example, which causes AIDS, disarms your immune system, causing permanent impairment. Hence you do not become immune to the HIV virus. Coronaviruses do not do that.
The second way is if the virus mutates, which is common among influenza viruses. If the virus mutates, your immune system may not fully recognize it and will have to mount a defense again, thereby creating another set of antibodies. However, coronaviruses are genetically stable, Yeadon says.
(For transparency, there have been reports of SARS-CoV-2 mutating,1 so it’s not impossible that some people might get reinfected with a slightly mutated version of the virus that might make them sick again.)
Hidden Agenda in Plain Sight
As noted by Yeadon, people are now changing the laws of immunology, which simply shouldn’t happen. This should not be a political issue, but somehow it is being treated as one. He claims to have no ideas at all as to why these false narratives are being created, and why scientific truth that contradicts the mainstream narrative is being censored.
Others, however, have become more outspoken about this issue, pointing out how the pandemic is being used as a convenient excuse and justification for redistribution of wealth and the technocratic takeover of the whole world under the banner of a Great Reset to a “more equitable” social order and greener commerce.

Those in charge of pandemic response measures also refuse to take into account the price of these measures.
When making public health decisions, you need to calculate the cost in terms of lives saved and the price in dollars and cents of saving those people, against the cost of not implementing the measure in question. This is not being done. The question is why is such an illogical stance being taken?
Yeadon on Vaccination
Toward the end of the interview, Yeadon addresses the issue of COVID-19 vaccination. Many are nervous about it becoming mandatory, and rightfully so. Vaccine passports are already being rolled out, and all the indicators point to vaccination becoming a requirement for travel, perhaps even within national borders.
Having spent his career in the pharmaceutical industry, Yeadon fully supports vaccination, believing they prevent large numbers of deaths. However, when it comes to SARS-CoV-2, he believes the vaccine will only benefit the elderly. For those over 80, a vaccine might give them a few more months of life.
“Nobody else needs this [vaccine],” he says. “You don’t vaccinate a population because 1 in 1 million might have a bad outcome [from the infection].” He also strongly believes the vaccine must be voluntary:
“It’s an appalling … public platform to suggest that the only way we get our lives back is to mass vaccinate the population. Something very smelly is going on. It’s simply not appropriate. I don’t even think it would work.”
In an open letter to the British health minister, Yeadon wrote:2
“I have read the consultation document. I’ve rarely been as shocked and upset. All vaccines against the SARS-COV-2 virus are by definition novel. No candidate vaccine has been in development for more than a few months. If any such vaccine is approved for use under any circumstances that are not EXPLICITLY experimental, I believe that recipients are being misled to a criminal extent.
This is because there are precisely zero human volunteers for whom there could possibly be more than a few months past-dose safety information. My concern does not arise because I have negative views about vaccines (I don’t). Vitafusion Vitamin D3 ... Buy New $8.01 ($0.05 / Count) (as of 11:52 UTC - Details)
Instead, it’s the very principle that politicians seem ready to waive that new medical interventions at this, incomplete state of development, should not be made available to subjects on anything other than an explicitly experimental basis. That’s my concern.
And the reason for that concern is that it is not known what the safety profile will be, six months or a year or longer after dosing. You have literally no data on this and neither does anyone else.
It isn’t that I’m saying that unacceptable adverse effects will emerge after longer intervals after dosing. No: it is that you have no idea what will happen yet, despite this, you’ll be creating the impression that you do …
I don’t trust you. You’ve not been straightforward and have behaved appallingly throughout this crisis. You’re still doing it now, misleading about infection risk from young children. Why should I believe you in relation to experimental vaccines?”
What Can You Do?
In his interview with Brees, Yeadon suggests medical professionals, especially those who are members of a professional society, who disagree with further pandemic measures — based on the medical facts — write an open letter to the government, urging them to speak to and heed the recommendations from independent experts.
Arm yourself with mortality statistics and the facts on PCR testing, so you can explain how and why this pandemic simply isn’t a pandemic anymore. First and foremost, there are no excess deaths. The same number of people have died this year that, on average, have died in previous years. This simply wouldn’t be the case if we had a lethal pandemic.
Second, the PCR test is not a valid diagnostic tool and should not be done on the scale we’re now doing it. The high rate of false positives is only fodder for needless fearmongering. “People should demand to know what [the false positive] rate is,” Yeadon says.
Additionally, “testing people who are well — it’s just a madcap thing,” he says.

“Let’s get back to the facts,” Yeadon says. “There are no excess deaths. But that’s not what you hear from the BBC now, is it? I’m never going to trust the BBC again, by the way. I’ve watched BBC for 41 years. [They’re] never coming back into my ears, because they’ve lied in my face all year … There’s a fraud going on …
You’re walking into voluntary house arrest when there are no excess deaths. Why are you doing that? Seriously? … I’m fearful, because it doesn’t make any sense and there are no benign outcomes.”
Get Organized
It’s easy to get so confused that you can no longer think straight these days. As explained by Dr. Peter Breggin, featured in “Psychiatrist Blows the Whistle on Pandemic Fearmongering,” when you add uncertainty to fear you end up with anxiety, a state in which you can no longer think logically.
If this applies to you, I urge you to turn off mainstream media news and turn to independent experts, such as Yeadon. Do the research. Read through the science. Reorient yourself to the facts and turn off the propaganda. Next, join a group so that you can have support.
A number of groups have formed around the world that are now rising up against mask mandates, mandatory vaccinations and lockdowns. A few examples of such groups include:
Us for Them, a group campaigning for reopening schools and protecting children’s rights in the U.K.
Keep Britain Free
The COVID Recovery Group (CRG), founded by 50 conservative British MPs to fight lockdown restrictions 3
In the U.S., a team of attorneys, doctors, business owners and parents started the Freedom to Breathe Agency, which is fighting to protect freedom and liberty
Additional sources of information and groups fighting for truth and transparency that are worth checking out include:
The Great Barrington Declaration, 4 which calls for an end to lockdowns. As of November 18, 2020, it had been signed by 34,973 medical practitioners, 12,070 medical and public health scientists, and 634,838 concerned citizens 5

Being Thankful For The Maskholes I ’ d like to pause and reflect on other aspects of 2020 I am grateful for , just as I do each morning , the maskholes among them .
The maskholes are technocrats , members of the professional class , who were not content to leave discussions on masks in the realm of social conversation , dialogue , debate , and polite encouragement — as is done in a free society .
This would have been enough for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already dominate the media narrative .
They instead crossed a line and invoked the force of law , involving men with guns and badges to enforce their screwy ideas , which they insist be made into orders from governmental organs with touted legal consequences .

We were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same corner of the same large room , unwilling to talk about the things we most needed to talk about , that we most cared about , until someone lit a fire under us .
Instead , in the name of “ go along to get along , ” or some other nonsensical risk-averse way of hiding from the joys of life , we sometimes may have found ourselves talking about the most insipid and banal together , forgetting that one impassioned , truthful conversation brings so much more value and connection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one is speaking their truth from their hearts .
To Be Quiet In The Corner Of The Room To be quiet in the corner of the room , to avoid dialogue about the topics you care most about , is a dishonesty that many are guilty of , me most of all .
When you behave that way , you further encourage a social and professional group around you that can not imagine how anyone else can think any differently than the group ’ s consensus .
By merely opening your mouth courageously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will self-select .
A fearful person , comfortable in their fear , does not desire to associate with a faithful person , comfortable in their faith .
With your silence — which amount to lies of omission and tacit approval — you do them a disservice and you do yourself a disservice .
These minor disservices can have major impacts when summed up .
Being quiet in the corner of the room is no longer a luxury that can be had .

The Best of Allan Stevo

2020 has been a fantastic year in so many ways.
It would have been a very different year if it were not for the pages of LRC, its writers, and its audience.
As life circumstances increasingly determined that I would live life under lockdown, I religiously rose at 4 a.m. each day to write and devour LRC, as a method of keeping in touch with my sanity in the midst of the mindless and destructive corona communism I was seeing all around me.
All around me everyone seemed to be on board with everything. In the pages of LRC, it was a different story. The conversations that happened there helped me bring a new kind of courage to the community I lived in and to live life unmasked. Barbie Dreamtopia Rain... Buy New $19.99 (as of 05:51 UTC - Details)
The Best Place To Write
I’ve written and published for some 15 years in a wide array of publications in the US and around the world, hundreds, from the New York Post to the Manhattan Institute, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer to Pravda (both the Slovak and Russian manifestations). For a writer looking to really dig down unceasingly and express the truth of the individual’s existence in the world, there is no better place to write than LewRockwell.com.
There are many reasons for that. Two of my favorite: 1.) the audience and 2.) the decision not to have a comments section, but to have the “send him mail” invitation in almost each author’s bio. The most revelatory exchanges result, because that is the type of audience attracted to these pages: sages in their own circle.
This community promotes individual freedom and individual advancement. Its proprietor finds the most mind-bending and insightful articles on the planet. There is never a disappointing edition of LRC.
In the acknowledgments section in my latest book, Face Masks in One Lesson , I write:
“This book has been a community effort. The greatest online gathering of writers, readers, free men, and activists takes place each day at LewRockwell.com. For this, I am in debt to Mr. Rockwell, who has housed that bold community and given me a place to write for better than a decade.”
And
“Without Ron Paul, there is no freedom movement as we today know it. On December 7, 2007, he became the grandfather of the Tea Party movement when his supporters from Strasbourg, France to Lake Jackson, Texas organized the first events in the contemporary Tea Party movement. No longer in office, this astute watchdog of government overreach and philosopher, on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, the first day of the San Francisco lockdown penned the syndicated column ‘The Coronavirus Hoax,’ in which he predicts correctly that some will die of corona, so the vulnerable must protect themselves, and that all must remain alert to the authoritarians making Covid an excuse for massive power grabs.” Barbie Fashionistas Ul...

Lives Well Lived Ripple Out To Others, Leaving Immeasurably Large Impact
With the fraction of insight I have on the work done by these two men in the world, I can see many ripples of impact all around me and virtually every day. Can you imagine how many lives these two must have affected?
I can’t. But I know from speaking to Scandinavian college students starting their own think tanks, to Italian businessmen, to closeted libertarians on the left coast, that the 2008 election changed the trajectory of their lives. That is but one example. The work of these two men does not stop there, but spans decades, and there are others like them. It is in the pages of LRC and its community that these two and many more have so altered 2020 for me. For this I am most grateful.
Being Thankful For The Maskholes
I’d like to pause and reflect on other aspects of 2020 I am grateful for, just as I do each morning, the maskholes among them.
The maskholes are technocrats, members of the professional class, who were not content to leave discussions on masks in the realm of social conversation, dialogue, debate, and polite encouragement — as is done in a free society. This would have been enough for high compliance. After all, they already dominate the media narrative. They instead crossed a line and invoked the force of law, involving men with guns and badges to enforce their screwy ideas, which they insist be made into orders from governmental organs with touted legal consequences.
These technocrats, these members of the professional class, in their very limited perspectives have behaved so short-sightedly. It has caused such misery in the world through lockdowns and mask mandates and so much more.
It is also a slice of life that I can find gratitude for. For the cause of liberty has long been taken for granted in our prosperous times. The work of the maskholes has had the impact of beginning to awaken and coalesce so many people in my life, who loved liberty, but did not often want to stand for liberty. Barbie Fashionistas Do... Buy New $12.95 (as of 05:51 UTC - Details)
On top of it, the work of the maskholes have drawn so many new people into my life that I didn’t even know existed, and would not have imagined. We were proverbially just two people sitting quietly in the same corner of the same large room, unwilling to talk about the things we most needed to talk about, that we most cared about, until someone lit a fire under us.
Instead, in the name of “go along to get along,” or some other nonsensical risk-averse way of hiding from the joys of life, we sometimes may have found ourselves talking about the most insipid and banal together, forgetting that one impassioned, truthful conversation brings so much more value and connection than a thousand insipid conversations where no one is speaking their truth from their hearts.
To Be Quiet In The Corner Of The Room
To be quiet in the corner of the room, to avoid dialogue about the topics you care most about, is a dishonesty that many are guilty of, me most of all.
When you behave that way, you further encourage a social and professional group around you that cannot imagine how anyone else can think any differently than the group’s consensus. By merely opening your mouth courageously once in a while, your circle will self-select. A fearful person, comfortable in their fear, does not desire to associate with a faithful person, comfortable in their faith.
With your silence — which amount to lies of omission and tacit approval — you do them a disservice and you do yourself a disservice. These minor disservices can have major impacts when summed up.
Being quiet in the corner of the room is no longer a luxury that can be had.
Doing Ourselves The Favor Of Declaring Our Gratitude
Barbie Dreamplane Tran... Buy New $48.99 (as of 05:51 UTC - Details) More importantly than the maskholes — creatures who are more deserving of pity than fear, people who are more deserving of being laughed at than having contempt for — this Thanksgiving I will be filled with gratitude, as I am each morning, for the community that gathers at LRC.

You set the direction of your day based on where you put your focus. Some men choose to focus on the negatives. Some men choose to focus on their blessings. If you had previously allowed that focus to lapse, Thanksgiving is a day for resetting that focus on the many blessings of life.
Our Era Is So Amazing
In an era so amazing in so many ways, I can’t even imagine focusing on the minor miseries of my life:
•from 3D printers to robots that vacuum the floor,
•from greater comfort in all areas of life and the concept of customer service, to such wonderful diverse methods of healthcare and insight into the body,
•from nourishing food in abundant quantities to every kind of educational opportunity imaginable available online free of charge,
•from Bitcoin to electric cars to self-driving cars — very exciting concepts regardless of their sometimes scary drawbacks —
•from affordable supercomputers in the pockets of almost anyone who wants one to the ability to have a conversation with a total stranger on the other side of the world and to really connect over a shared passion. Barbie Chelsea Travel ... Buy New $14.95 (as of 05:51 UTC - Details)

We can also be so grateful for the free speech pioneers of our day.
These aspects of life are not perfect, but they are wonderful outcomes of the freedoms we enjoy as entrepreneurs seek to identify problems in the world and address them to the satisfaction of consumers in our relatively free market environment.

In Georgia, Powell claims in a 104-page complaint filed in the US District Court in Atlanta that the purpose of the scheme was “illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe Biden as president of the United States.”
“Old-fashioned ballot-stuffing” has been “amplified and rendered virtually invisible by computer software created and run by domestic and foreign actors for that very purpose,” the suit continues, adding that “Mathematical and statistical anomalies rising to the level of impossibilities, as shown by affidavits of multiple witnesses, documentation, and expert testimony evince this scheme across the state of Georgia.”

According to Just the News, Powell’s allegations include that: Licensed to Lie Powell, Sidney Best Price: $17.87 Buy New $23.93 (as of 05:55 UTC - Details)
At least 96,600 absentee ballots were requested and counted but were never recorded as being returned to county election boards by the voter. “Thus, at a minimum, 96,600 votes must be disregarded,” the suit said. Kemp and Raffensperger “rushed through the purchase of Dominion voting machines and software in 2019 for the 2020 Presidential Election” without due diligence and disregarded safety concerns. “There is incontrovertible physical evidence that the standards of physical security of the voting machines and the software were breached, and machines were connected to the internet in violation of professional standards and state and federal laws.” Fulton County election workers used a claim of a water leak to evacuate poll watchers and workers for several hours on Election night, even as “several election workers remained unsupervised and unchallenged working at the computers for the voting tabulation machines until after 1:00 AM. State officials in a settlement with Democratic parties made changes to election procedures that violated both state law and the U.S. Constitution.
The suit asks for over a dozen remedies, including an injunction blocking the state’s certified results – in which Biden ‘won’ by 12,000 votes – from being transmitted to the Electoral College.
Powell’s suit also demands an audit where signatures are matched, the impounding of various election machines and video surveillance from vote-counting areas.

lewrockwell--2020-11-27--Covid Thanksgiving Restrictions and the ‘Great Reset’

International Man : Thanksgiving and the holiday season are here .
The COVID hysteria has justified a new wave of government restrictions .
Many governors and mayors are ordering citizens to “ stay at home ” and cancel their traditional plans .
Is this a “ new normal ” in which local officials feel emboldened to dictate more and more of what people can do in their own homes ?
Doug Casey : There ’ s not much question about it .
First , let me draw your attention to an important fundamental : the type of people who go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter if it ’ s national , state , county , or city government .
V for Vendetta ( 4K Ult ... David Lloyd Best Price : $ 17.82 Buy New $ 24.99 They ’ re the kind of people who think they know what ’ s best for others and like bossing them around .
They see the virus as a great opportunity to make themselves important and to cement themselves in power .
They want to deconstruct America .
The phrase “ build back better ” is being used not just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but by people all over the world .
These people see the COVID hysteria as an excuse for a “ Great Reset.
” They don ’ t describe exactly what the elements of the Great Reset might be , but they ’ re hitting the same notes sung by the people that go to the World Economic Forum in Davos .
They ’ re promoting a great change in the world at large and America in particular .
It appears the world is ready for it ; however , it ’ s for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election .
I listed six factors why I thought Biden would win in our interview a couple of months ago : the virus hysteria , a pending economic collapse , negative demographics , the moral collapse of the old order , and the Deep State , and , of course , cheating—which was critical in the short term .
There ’ s no question that stormy times are ahead .
We ’ re headed for a great leap forward—to borrow a phrase from Mao—in State power .
Much higher taxes , much higher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big drop in the general standard of living , and a fair measure of social chaos .
International Man : Among the most extreme examples of this dystopian power trip is from California ’ s governor Gavin Newsom .
Recently , he issued a list of nine mandatory requirements for Thanksgiving social gatherings .
The ridiculous list includes things like “ no more than three households ” at Thanksgiving , mandatory masks at all times except when eating , and no shared family-style dishes for guests .
Has the COVID hysteria generated a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Doug Casey : It seems like the world is mimicking the dystopian movie , V for Vendetta , in which a virus played a major role .
Assassin : Book 3 of th ... Hunt , John Buy New $ 18.64 If it ’ s not this virus , which is trivial for everyone except very old or very sick people , there will be another virus .
In addition to the seasonal flu , about every decade , there ’ s something new—Hong Kong flu , Asian flu , swine flu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them about as deadly as COVID , and none of them even remotely comparable to the Spanish flu of 1918 .
None of them , even the Spanish flu , had serious economic consequences .
This flu is only serious because of the hysteria surrounding it .
Consequences ?
Testing will be mandatory , and you ’ ll need a health passport .
At some point that may include being chipped , like your dog .
What shocks me is that the average person is all for it .
Everybody is a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who don ’ t wear their masks , despite the fact that masks are of little or no value .
Masks , social distancing , lockdowns , and non-gathering are doing immense damage to society at every level—health-wise , socially , and financially .
This nonsense is rupturing the social fabric everywhere .
That ’ s extremely dangerous .
The fact is that people are looking for guidance from the government—not independent scientists , who are being “ canceled ” and de-platformed .
This is more serious than the hysteria that started with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID hysteria can best be compared to the Salem Witch Trials , the Orson Wells Martian Invasion Hoax , or an end-of-the-world prediction in a religious cult .
International Man : California ’ s Governor Newsom was recently busted at one of that state ’ s fanciest restaurants for breaking the exact rules he imposed on everyone else .
When asked to comment , he said it was “ an error in judgment.
” What ’ s your take on politicians like Newsom and others who are revealing that the lockdowns are “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Doug Casey : I don ’ t think there ’ s a cure for it .
You ’ ve got to remember that California has elected insane politicians for decades now—one after another after another , each one worse than the one before .
Why should that trend change ?
The voters are clearly getting what they want .
Drug Lord ( High Ground ... Doug Casey , John Hunt Best Price : $ 16.00 Buy New $ 18.08 In fact , the trend is accelerating towards more authoritarian leaders at every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ psyche .
And when people are afraid—whether of the virus , economic turbulence , a foreign or domestic enemy , or a hundred other things—they want “ strong leadership.
” Elected politicians have become an elected aristocracy , a new ruling class .
And they like it .
The best thing that can happen to California is that it breaks up into several states .
Southern California around Los Angeles is one culture ; San Francisco and Oakland are another culture .
In the far north—places like Humboldt , Trinity , Siskiyou counties—are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ areas are yet another culture .
There ’ s absolutely no reason for California to be one state .
Dividing it would be a way of limiting the damage .
But that ’ s not going to happen for a lot of reasons .
Of course , as I ’ ve pointed out before , the best thing that can happen to the United States at this point is to break up into several different countries .
Politicians like Gavin Newsom live in their own silos .
They ’ re like medieval royalty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t really care what the little people do as long as the little people pay their taxes and do what they ’ re told .
The plebs are so indoctrinated and browbeaten that they ’ re happy to pay their taxes and follow orders .
They ’ re told it ’ s the cost of civilization when it ’ s actually a sign of how uncivilized the world is becoming , and how different the US is from the ideas that once made America unique .
I don ’ t see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until they reach a crisis point .
A crisis is coming , and at that point , anything can happen .
Generally speaking , when you have a crisis due to bad times , things usually get worse , because the most aggressive liars and power-grabbers take control .
So , I ’ m not terribly optimistic about the near-term future .

The phrase “build back better” is being used not just by people in the new Biden regime but by people all over the world.
These people see the COVID hysteria as an excuse for a “Great Reset.” They don’t describe exactly what the elements of the Great Reset might be, but they’re hitting the same notes sung by the people that go to the World Economic Forum in Davos. They’re promoting a great change in the world at large and America in particular.
It appears the world is ready for it; however, it’s for the same reasons that Biden won the election. I listed six factors why I thought Biden would win in our interview a couple of months ago: the virus hysteria, a pending economic collapse, negative demographics, the moral collapse of the old order, and the Deep State, and, of course, cheating—which was critical in the short term. There’s no question that stormy times are ahead.
We’re headed for a great leap forward—to borrow a phrase from Mao—in State power. Much higher taxes, much higher inflation, much more regulation, a big drop in the general standard of living, and a fair measure of social chaos.
International Man: Among the most extreme examples of this dystopian power trip is from California’s governor Gavin Newsom.
Recently, he issued a list of nine mandatory requirements for Thanksgiving social gatherings. The ridiculous list includes things like “no more than three households” at Thanksgiving, mandatory masks at all times except when eating, and no shared family-style dishes for guests.
Has the COVID hysteria generated a serious new political threat to individual freedoms?
Doug Casey: It seems like the world is mimicking the dystopian movie, V for Vendetta, in which a virus played a major role. Assassin: Book 3 of th... Hunt, John Buy New $18.64 (as of 07:05 UTC - Details)
If it’s not this virus, which is trivial for everyone except very old or very sick people, there will be another virus. In addition to the seasonal flu, about every decade, there’s something new—Hong Kong flu, Asian flu, swine flu, bird flu, SARS… all of them about as deadly as COVID, and none of them even remotely comparable to the Spanish flu of 1918. None of them, even the Spanish flu, had serious economic consequences. This flu is only serious because of the hysteria surrounding it.
Consequences? Testing will be mandatory, and you’ll need a health passport. At some point that may include being chipped, like your dog. What shocks me is that the average person is all for it. Everybody is a “Karen” today. They shame people who don’t wear their masks, despite the fact that masks are of little or no value. Masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and non-gathering are doing immense damage to society at every level—health-wise, socially, and financially. This nonsense is rupturing the social fabric everywhere. That’s extremely dangerous.
The fact is that people are looking for guidance from the government—not independent scientists, who are being “canceled” and de-platformed. This is more serious than the hysteria that started with 9/11, which is ongoing. The COVID hysteria can best be compared to the Salem Witch Trials, the Orson Wells Martian Invasion Hoax, or an end-of-the-world prediction in a religious cult.
International Man: California’s Governor Newsom was recently busted at one of that state’s fanciest restaurants for breaking the exact rules he imposed on everyone else.
When asked to comment, he said it was “an error in judgment.”
What’s your take on politicians like Newsom and others who are revealing that the lockdowns are “for thee and not for me”?
Doug Casey: I don’t think there’s a cure for it. You’ve got to remember that California has elected insane politicians for decades now—one after another after another, each one worse than the one before. Why should that trend change? The voters are clearly getting what they want. Drug Lord (High Ground... Doug Casey, John Hunt Best Price: $16.00 Buy New $18.08 (as of 05:55 UTC - Details)
In fact, the trend is accelerating towards more authoritarian leaders at every level. Fear is ruling the public psyche. And when people are afraid—whether of the virus, economic turbulence, a foreign or domestic enemy, or a hundred other things—they want “strong leadership.” Elected politicians have become an elected aristocracy, a new ruling class. And they like it.
The best thing that can happen to California is that it breaks up into several states.
Southern California around Los Angeles is one culture; San Francisco and Oakland are another culture. In the far north—places like Humboldt, Trinity, Siskiyou counties—are totally different cultures again. The farming areas are yet another culture. There’s absolutely no reason for California to be one state. Dividing it would be a way of limiting the damage.
But that’s not going to happen for a lot of reasons. Of course, as I’ve pointed out before, the best thing that can happen to the United States at this point is to break up into several different countries.
Politicians like Gavin Newsom live in their own silos. They’re like medieval royalty. They don’t know and don’t really care what the little people do as long as the little people pay their taxes and do what they’re told.
The plebs are so indoctrinated and browbeaten that they’re happy to pay their taxes and follow orders. They’re told it’s the cost of civilization when it’s actually a sign of how uncivilized the world is becoming, and how different the US is from the ideas that once made America unique. I don’t see any solution because trends stay in motion until they reach a crisis point.
A crisis is coming, and at that point, anything can happen. Generally speaking, when you have a crisis due to bad times, things usually get worse, because the most aggressive liars and power-grabbers take control. So, I’m not terribly optimistic about the near-term future.
