Tony Fauci and the Swine Flu Disaster

I take you back to the summer of 2009 , when the CDC and the World Health Organization were hyping the “ deadly H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic.
” They were , of course , also urging people to take the new Swine Flu vaccine .
On that subject , here is an excerpt from Robert Kennedy Jr. ’ s Children ’ s Health Defense ( 3/27/20 ) : “ For example , [ Dr. Anthony ] Fauci once shilled for the fast-tracked H1N1 influenza ( ‘ swine flu ’ ) vaccine on YouTube , reassuring viewers in 2009 that serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , very rare.
’ Shortly thereafter , the vaccine went on to wreak havoc in multiple countries , increasing miscarriage risks in pregnant women in the U.S. , provoking a spike in adolescent narcolepsy in Scandinavia and causing febrile convulsions in one in every 110 vaccinated children in Australia—prompting the latter to suspend its influenza vaccination program in under-fives.

lewrockwell--2020-08-15--The Brookings Hand Behind Russiagate Points Back to Rhodes Trust Coup on America

An incredible report on Real Clear Politics by Paul Sperry on July 24 has revealed a new dimension to the Russiagate frenzy that contaminated American politics for the last four years .
While all claims of Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin have been thoroughly debunked over recent months , it was believed that the culprits of this coup effort were merely swaths of deep state operatives in the DNC alongside British Intelligence assets like Christopher Steele , and Sir Richard Dearlove .
All of these things are still very true , but the story has just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ journalist Paul Sperry rigorously lays out in his report , a major piece of the Russiagate puzzle was revealed when it became known that the primary source used by Christopher Steele in shaping his dodgy dossier was not the high level Kremlin insider which the world was told , but rather a former Brookings Institute employee named Igor Danchenko .
Countdown to Socialism Nunes , Devin Buy New $ 9.99 This young Russian-born analyst who hadn ’ t been to Russia in decades admitted to the FBI in January 2017 that he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anywhere near the Kremlin ( or even Russia itself it seems ) , and was totally confused when he was asked why he believed Steele hired him to put together an intelligence dossier on Trump in the first place !
Such admissions didn ’ t seem to bother the FBI at this time , who ignored the evidence of the dossier ’ s fraudulent foundations and proceeded to use the Steele/Danchenko material to acquire FISA warrants on Carter Page .
This dossier also fueled the fires of the Russiagate inquisition and first gave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hacked ” the DNC emails ( which have been completely refuted by former NSA insider Bill Binney ) .
The firestorm of revelations surrounding the Brookings Institute , have induced Rep. Devin Nunes to announce a long-awaited probe on the powerful liberal think tank which has acted as a controlling force in America ’ s deep state for decades and the powerful figure of the Institute ’ s former president Strobe Talbott .
Strobe Talbott not only led Brookings for years , but served as former Deputy Secretary of State of the Clinton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Council on Foreign Relations , was a member of the Trilateral Commissions executive committee and also acted as Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Policy Board of the Obama White House .
It was Talbott who deployed Danchenko ’ s Brookings Institute mentor Fiona Hill to acquire a job at the National Security Council in 2017 where she not only advanced an anti-Russian war plan but testified in Trump ’ s impeachment trial in 2019 .
Hill , who had known Christopher Steele since 2006 and were in frequent discussion since 2016 , co-authored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and endorsed him as a “ creative and accomplished analyst and researcher ” which was posted on his Linkedin account .
Our Founders ’ Wa ... Talbott , Strobe Buy New $ 24.99 The “ additional dossiers that weren ’ t the Steele dossier ” addressed by Nunes is a reference to a lesser known dodgy dossier produced by Brookings-affiliated journalist Cody Shearer ( brother-in-law of Strobe Talbott ) which was crafted explicitly to validate the wildly unsupported claims found in Steele ’ s dossier .
Apparently having two dossiers full of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one .
Other information which has surfaced- especially since Steele ’ s recent UK trial testimony was made public , is that Talbott reached out to the MI6 asset in August 2016 to discuss the dossier , while comparing notes on the Shearer file .
With Trump ’ s surprise election in November 2016 , both Steele and Talbott met to strategize how they should handle the Steele dossier going forward .
Another Brookings Institute player who interfaced directly with Steele and ensured that the dossier made it into the hands of prominent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America was none other than regime-change queen Victoria Nuland herself who hired Steele as an advisor during the Ukraine Maidan debacle and met with him on several occasions to discuss the dossier before Trump ’ s election .
Both Nuland and her neo-con husband Robert Kagan serve as Senior Fellows at Brookings Institute .
It would here be the height of folly to presume , as some commentators have done , that Talbott ’ s role in this operation indicates an American guiding hand between the plot to undo the 2016 elections .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire life and world outlook have been shaped not by wholly anti-American ideas but rather by British Imperial principles that are programed into the minds of all Rhodes Scholars during his time in Oxford from 1966-1968 .
It was here that young Nelson Strobridge ( Strobe ) Talbott III adopted a near-religious commitment to a post-nation state world order .
Upon his return to America , Talbott was positioned into a prominent role in the western propaganda bureau serving as a leading editor of Time Magazine .
It was during the end of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soon-to-be Assistant Secretary of State outlined his manifesto for the New World Order in a July 20 1992 article entitled “ The Birth of a Global Nation ” .
Where Talbott stated : Anglo-American Establi ... Quigley , Carroll Best Price : $ 18.99 Buy New $ 22.95 “ All countries are basically social arrangements….No matter how permanent or even sacred they may seem at any one time , in fact they are all artificial and temporary….Perhaps national sovereignty wasn ’ t such a great idea after all….But it has taken the events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to clinch the case for world government.
” Everything Talbott has done in the ensuing three decades ( along with the throngs of other Rhodes Scholars who flooded into the White House with Clinton ’ s 1992 election ) can be understood by this general philosophical premise and gets to the heart of the false dispute between neoconservative imperialists whom Talbott appears to despise , and neoliberal imperialists of a Malthusian/Green New Dealing variety like Talbott .
The Rise of the Rhodes Trust Talbott ’ s neoliberal outlook was originally expounded by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Confessions of Faith and upon whose name and will , the scholarship founded in 1902 was based .
In this document Rhodes stated : “ Why should we not form a secret society with but one object the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire… ” The fear which Rhodes and leading imperialists presiding over a dying British Empire faced in the end of the 19th century was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cooperation was fast emerging in the wake of Lincoln ’ s victory over the British-supported slave confederacy in 1865 .
This was a system defined by a mandate to ensure credit functioned as an instrument for agro-industrial progress and internal improvements outlined by Lincoln ’ s advisor Henry Carey ( who also acted as lead organizer of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition which exported this system globally ) who stated in his Harmony of Interests : “ Two systems are before the world ; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade , with necessarily diminished return to the labour of all ; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production , and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation , with increased return to all , giving to the labourer good wages , and to the owner of capital good profits… One looks towards universal war ; the other towards universal peace .
One is the English system ; the other we may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.
” The First Fifty Years ... Elton , G E. Buy New $ 16.95 While this system was vigorously applied in 19th century Russia to build the Trans-Siberian Rail with the help of American engineers and industrialists , it was also applied in President Sadi Carnot ’ s France , Otto von Bismarck ’ s Germany and even in Japan during the Meiji Restoration .
Sadly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ envisioned by such figures as Lincoln-allies William Gilpin or Henry Carey , China ’ s President Sun Yat-sen , Canada ’ s Wilfrid Laurier or Russia ’ s Sergei Witte , a calamitous 20th century of war and assassinations unfolded as the British Empire was re-organized under the guiding light of the Roundtable Movement/Rhodes Trust from Oxford , and the Fabian Society from the London School of Economics .
Both think tanks indoctrinated talented youth from around the world , who were deployed back into their home countries to permeate all layers of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aimed at 1 ) abolishing sovereign nation states , 2 ) instituting world government in order to impose population control under a scientific dictatorship and 3 ) eliminate the conception of mankind and natural law that gave rise to the greatest renaissance movements over the previous 2500 years .
Rhodes described this indoctrination process in the starkest terms in his 1877 Testament of Faith : “ Let us form the same kind of society a Church for the extension of the British Empire .
A society which should have members in every part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ object and one idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind and feelings for such an object , he should be tried in every way , he should be tested whether he is endurant , possessed of eloquence , disregardful of the petty details of life , and if found to be such , then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over 8000 students have been processed by the Rhodes Trust , with 32 being taken in from America every year permeating every branch of society .

An incredible report on Real Clear Politics by Paul Sperry on July 24 has revealed a new dimension to the Russiagate frenzy that contaminated American politics for the last four years. While all claims of Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin have been thoroughly debunked over recent months, it was believed that the culprits of this coup effort were merely swaths of deep state operatives in the DNC alongside British Intelligence assets like Christopher Steele, and Sir Richard Dearlove.
All of these things are still very true, but the story has just become significantly more interesting.
As investigative journalist Paul Sperry rigorously lays out in his report, a major piece of the Russiagate puzzle was revealed when it became known that the primary source used by Christopher Steele in shaping his dodgy dossier was not the high level Kremlin insider which the world was told, but rather a former Brookings Institute employee named Igor Danchenko. Countdown to Socialism Nunes, Devin Buy New $9.99 (as of 04:45 UTC - Details)
This young Russian-born analyst who hadn’t been to Russia in decades admitted to the FBI in January 2017 that he had no contacts with any notable Russian operatives anywhere near the Kremlin (or even Russia itself it seems), and was totally confused when he was asked why he believed Steele hired him to put together an intelligence dossier on Trump in the first place!
Such admissions didn’t seem to bother the FBI at this time, who ignored the evidence of the dossier’s fraudulent foundations and proceeded to use the Steele/Danchenko material to acquire FISA warrants on Carter Page. This dossier also fueled the fires of the Russiagate inquisition and first gave voice to the narrative that Russia “hacked” the DNC emails (which have been completely refuted by former NSA insider Bill Binney).
The firestorm of revelations surrounding the Brookings Institute, have induced Rep. Devin Nunes to announce a long-awaited probe on the powerful liberal think tank which has acted as a controlling force in America’s deep state for decades and the powerful figure of the Institute’s former president Strobe Talbott.
Nunes stated:
“You may remember that the State Department was involved and there were additional dossiers that weren’t the Steele dossier- except that they mirrored the Steele dossier. And we think there is a connection between the [former] president of Brookings and those dossiers that were given to the State Department.”
Strobe Talbott not only led Brookings for years, but served as former Deputy Secretary of State of the Clinton White House, former director of the Council on Foreign Relations, was a member of the Trilateral Commissions executive committee and also acted as Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Policy Board of the Obama White House. It was Talbott who deployed Danchenko’s Brookings Institute mentor Fiona Hill to acquire a job at the National Security Council in 2017 where she not only advanced an anti-Russian war plan but testified in Trump’s impeachment trial in 2019.
Hill, who had known Christopher Steele since 2006 and were in frequent discussion since 2016, co-authored two Brookings Institute intelligence reports with Danchenko and endorsed him as a “creative and accomplished analyst and researcher” which was posted on his Linkedin account. Our Founders’ Wa... Talbott, Strobe Buy New $24.99 (as of 03:04 UTC - Details)
The “additional dossiers that weren’t the Steele dossier” addressed by Nunes is a reference to a lesser known dodgy dossier produced by Brookings-affiliated journalist Cody Shearer (brother-in-law of Strobe Talbott) which was crafted explicitly to validate the wildly unsupported claims found in Steele’s dossier.
Apparently having two dossiers full of the same lies is more believable than only one.
Other information which has surfaced- especially since Steele’s recent UK trial testimony was made public, is that Talbott reached out to the MI6 asset in August 2016 to discuss the dossier, while comparing notes on the Shearer file. With Trump’s surprise election in November 2016, both Steele and Talbott met to strategize how they should handle the Steele dossier going forward.
Another Brookings Institute player who interfaced directly with Steele and ensured that the dossier made it into the hands of prominent pro-impeachment figures and news media outlets in America was none other than regime-change queen Victoria Nuland herself who hired Steele as an advisor during the Ukraine Maidan debacle and met with him on several occasions to discuss the dossier before Trump’s election. Both Nuland and her neo-con husband Robert Kagan serve as Senior Fellows at Brookings Institute.
The Real issue of Talbott’s British Pedigree
It would here be the height of folly to presume, as some commentators have done, that Talbott’s role in this operation indicates an American guiding hand between the plot to undo the 2016 elections. The fact is that Talbott’s entire life and world outlook have been shaped not by wholly anti-American ideas but rather by British Imperial principles that are programed into the minds of all Rhodes Scholars during his time in Oxford from 1966-1968.
It was here that young Nelson Strobridge (Strobe) Talbott III adopted a near-religious commitment to a post-nation state world order. Upon his return to America, Talbott was positioned into a prominent role in the western propaganda bureau serving as a leading editor of Time Magazine. It was during the end of this phase of his career that the soon-to-be Assistant Secretary of State outlined his manifesto for the New World Order in a July 20 1992 article entitled “The Birth of a Global Nation”. Where Talbott stated: Anglo-American Establi... Quigley, Carroll Best Price: $18.99 Buy New $22.95 (as of 03:04 UTC - Details)
“All countries are basically social arrangements….No matter how permanent or even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary….Perhaps national sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all….But it has taken the events in our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world government.”
Everything Talbott has done in the ensuing three decades (along with the throngs of other Rhodes Scholars who flooded into the White House with Clinton’s 1992 election) can be understood by this general philosophical premise and gets to the heart of the false dispute between neoconservative imperialists whom Talbott appears to despise, and neoliberal imperialists of a Malthusian/Green New Dealing variety like Talbott.
The Rise of the Rhodes Trust
Talbott’s neoliberal outlook was originally expounded by the racist imperialist Cecil Rhodes in his 1877 Confessions of Faith and upon whose name and will, the scholarship founded in 1902 was based. In this document Rhodes stated:
“Why should we not form a secret society with but one object the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire…”
The fear which Rhodes and leading imperialists presiding over a dying British Empire faced in the end of the 19th century was that a new global system of win-win cooperation was fast emerging in the wake of Lincoln’s victory over the British-supported slave confederacy in 1865. This was a system defined by a mandate to ensure credit functioned as an instrument for agro-industrial progress and internal improvements outlined by Lincoln’s advisor Henry Carey (who also acted as lead organizer of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition which exported this system globally) who stated in his Harmony of Interests:
“Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labour of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to the labourer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits… One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.”
The First Fifty Years ... Elton, G E. Buy New $16.95 (as of 03:04 UTC - Details) While this system was vigorously applied in 19th century Russia to build the Trans-Siberian Rail with the help of American engineers and industrialists, it was also applied in President Sadi Carnot’s France, Otto von Bismarck’s Germany and even in Japan during the Meiji Restoration.
Sadly, instead of a new age of progress envisioned by such figures as Lincoln-allies William Gilpin or Henry Carey, China’s President Sun Yat-sen, Canada’s Wilfrid Laurier or Russia’s Sergei Witte, a calamitous 20th century of war and assassinations unfolded as the British Empire was re-organized under the guiding light of the Roundtable Movement/Rhodes Trust from Oxford, and the Fabian Society from the London School of Economics. Both think tanks indoctrinated talented youth from around the world, who were deployed back into their home countries to permeate all layers of public and private policy and which ultimately aimed at 1) abolishing sovereign nation states, 2) instituting world government in order to impose population control under a scientific dictatorship and 3) eliminate the conception of mankind and natural law that gave rise to the greatest renaissance movements over the previous 2500 years.
Rhodes described this indoctrination process in the starkest terms in his 1877 Testament of Faith:
“Let us form the same kind of society a Church for the extension of the British Empire. A society which should have members in every part of the British Empire working with one object and one idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind and feelings for such an object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he is endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details of life, and if found to be such, then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life in his Country.”
To this day over 8000 students have been processed by the Rhodes Trust, with 32 being taken in from America every year permeating every branch of society.
The historian Carrol Quigley, of Georgetown University wrote of this cabal in his posthumously published “Anglo-American Establishment”:
“This organization has been able to conceal its existence quite successfully, and many of its most influential members, satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power, are unknown even to close students of British history. This is the more surprising when we learn that one of the chief methods by which this Group works has been through propaganda.

This organization created NATO, managed the Cold War, orchestrated the fall of Canada’s Prime Minister in 1963, led in creating a post-industrial paradigm in 1971 and brought the world close to thermonuclear war on more than one occasion.
With the return of nationalism on a global scale guided by the post 2013 New Silk Road framework, and especially within America itself since Trump’s 2016 election, these hives of indoctrinated scholars have been in conniption fits over the loss of their utopian blueprints for a New World Order.

Of course, it should never be forgotten that animals are not less dangerous when they are wounded and desperate, and with the meltdown of Russiagate and the light increasingly shining on the British agents in America, these beasts are more dangerous than ever.

For the moment, it seems, the Democratic Party’s actual anointed candidate for president is Senator Harris (CA), due to the obvious disability of her running mate. But such a boldfaced shuck-and-jive has never been tried before in a national election. Do you suppose the DNC honchos really believe they’re putting one over on the voters?
It remains to be seen whether this hustle will withstand the moilings and toilings of next week’s national convention — itself shaping up to be a massively peculiar event conducted by texts, emails, phone calls, Zoom meet-ups, smoke signals, and perhaps rioting here and there to emphasize the party’s dedication to the violent overthrow of cultural norms.
The real action may spool out this pre-convention weekend as all concerned grok the awful prospect of Joe Biden fumbling and stammering through an acceptance speech, confounded by the voice in his earpiece vying with the text rolling on the teleprompter. Poor Joe will come off for what he really is in this eerie twilight of his long career: a thousand hair-plugs in search of a brain. Such a pitiful display would reveal the cynicism (or reckless stupidity) of the party’s game so far this year. It will invite epic disarray in the ranks. Will they allow it to happen?
Living in the Long Eme... James Howard Kunstler Buy New $24.95 (as of 10:56 UTC - Details) Surely, they’re sweating it. Then what? Does Hillary Clinton seize this last slim chance at glory and offer herself up to the desperate, despairing, virtual crowd in Democratic Zoomtopia? (Quick, somebody hide the vodka bottles! And get Bill out of the room, fer Chrissake!) But think of the dream ticket that would make: Hill and Kam, two mighty womyn! One a person of several colors! (the other of several personalities). And in this 100th anniversary year of the 19th Amendment! Step aside all you hairy, groping, disgustingly-privileged males and make way for the triumph of feminism! Or… poof… is that just a fantasy? I’m telling you, anything might happen.
Does Ms. Harris — who had a close friendship with Mr. Biden’s deceased son, Beau, when both served as state’s attorneys general — sit down and have The Talk with Uncle Joe, shoving him ever so gently into that good night, then taking over the top spot for real, and choosing her own vice-president nominee? (Who, of course, would have to be Mayor Pete to complete a ticket of rainbows and unicorns.)
Does Bernie try to elbow his way back in behind a flying wedge of clamoring Bernie Bros? Nah. He’s proven in the last two national campaigns that he’s a bottom, not a top, and will bend over in whatever direction the powers-that-be want to shove him.
There’s nobody else, really, no credible dark horse, the party might turn to in its hour of self-induced existential terror. It will be a monumentally drawn-out hour if they go ahead with this Biden / Harris ticket. It’s hard to imagine old Joe out on the hustings, humiliating himself every time he ventures a few utterances before a sparse assembly of socially-distanced party ringers and foot-soldiers, not to mention the gruesome spectacle of debates with the Golden Golem of Greatness.
All this purely political maneuvering takes place, you understand, at a lofty remove from what is happening on-the-ground in the USA — namely, a dreadful, sickening slide for tens of millions into the abyss of bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossession, hunger, homelessness, and violence. The Democrats will try to pin the Covid-19 disruptions on Mr. Trump. Rachel Maddow & Company will beat that story to death, and The New York Times is trying strenuously each day to magnify the Cofid-19 threat and militate for shutting more things down longer. I’m not so sure the voters will buy that, either.

lewrockwell--2020-08-15--Lockdown Restrictions Are a Test To See How Much Tyranny Americans Will Accept

The pandemic lockdowns are a complicated issue , and that is absolutely deliberate .
The point of 4th Generation psychological warfare is to present the target individual or population with a hard choice – a no-win scenario .
You are damned if you do and damned if you don ’ t .
I often equate this to the key moves in a difficult chess game ; your primary goal is to create a dual threat and force your opponent to sacrifice one piece over another in order to escape with the least amount of damage .
Do this a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game .
There are multiple aspects to the global pandemic which seem engineered to push our society to make “ sacrificial decisions ” .
We can choose to sacrifice the lives of those that are susceptible to the virus , sacrifice our economy , or sacrifice many of our freedoms with the promise that the economy and lives will be protected .
The easiest choice is always to give away a little more freedom .
We ’ ll get it all back eventually…right ?
Of course , we don ’ t actually get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play along with this game .
4th Gen warfare is meant to eventually take IT ALL from the target population while making people think it was their choice to give those things away .
By Tyranny Out of Nece ... Edwin Vieira Jr Best Price : $ 94.85 Buy New $ 54.06 To be clear , it ’ s not only the pandemic being exploited as leverage to conjure these situations .
The leftist riots are another example of a bought and paid for crisis that is being used in an attempt to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ principles and instituting unprecedented government power is somehow an acceptable sacrifice .
The riots and the virus response work hand-in-hand ; one is created to get leftists to demand totalitarianism in the name of public safety , the other is created to get conservatives to demand totalitarianism in the name of public safety .
The solution always ends up being totalitarian government .
There are those that would have you believe that this is the only way .
The new propaganda meme out there is : “ Silly libertarians live in a fantasy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in times of crisis .
We don ’ t have the luxury of freedom when communist terrorists/deadly virus threaten to destroy the fabric of our society… ” Sound familiar ?
Yes , this nonsense narrative is everywhere on forums and message boards these days , almost as if someone was paying people to inject it into everyday discussion .
The problem is , I ’ ve seen this all before .
Right after the events of 9/11 , America went insane for at least a few years , hyperfocused on the threat of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of all powerful government .
The number of constitutional protections being violated in the name of “ beating the terrorists ” was staggering , and the number of mostly conservative citizens cheering for this at the time was immense .
Today ’ s calls for overreaching government power in the name of “ beating coronavirus ” or “ beating the extreme left ” are no different .
In the wake of widespread fear , people suffer from fits of temporary madness that allows them rationalize moral relativism and unnecessary sacrifices .
I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behavior among certain groups .
I ’ ve never been so fearful of losing my life that I was willing to hand over anything including my freedom and my future on the mere chance that I could stay alive just a little longer .
But for some , that fear dominates their every waking moment .
To me , this would be a torturous and empty existence .
What do these people have to live for anyway ?
Obviously they don ’ t care about their children because they are willing to give @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so they can feel safer today .
Do they have some kind of epic contribution for the good of humanity and they feel they must do anything to survive long enough to make it happen ?
Are they working on the cure for cancer or a path to world peace ?
I doubt it .
More likely they work in an office building or a McDonalds or teach kindergarten at a public school .
They aren ’ t contributing all that much , but they are perfectly willing to trade their freedom and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more time on this Earth .
I ’ ve seen 85-year-old men that can ’ t move around without a walker raging about people who “ don ’ t wear masks ” and how they should be “ thrown in jail ” .
A Republic Under Assau ... Fitton , Tom Buy New $ 30.00 Buddy , you have lived your life fully .
You had your fun .
Yet , you are still clinging so desperately to existence that you are demanding the draconian destruction of our society ’ s core principles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couple more years of grumbling in misery and eating soft foods ?
I ’ m not saying I contribute much more in comparison , but I also have no interest in controlling the destinies of other people .
I ’ m just trying to live my life as free as possible while helping to ensure others can do the same .
And if I die from a virus , then I die , but at least I never aided in the enslavement of future generations .
There are plenty of Americans of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I do ; but there are many others that seem to be missing that ability to control their fear .
The question I almost never see asked in the mainstream when it comes to the pandemic is this – Is it really all worth it ?
Is it worth it to shut down large swaths of the US economy , threatening millions of jobs , sending millions of people into poverty , risking speedy financial collapse and degrading our fundamental freedoms just to save .03 % of the population ?
What if it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Would it be worth it then ?
What about 3 % ?
The reality is , it ’ s NEVER worth it .
Recently a voting member of the Federal Reserve , Neel Kashkari , argued that the US needs renewed hard lockdowns , meaning most Americans stay stuck at home for at least 6 weeks with little access to the economy .
His rationale ?
The US savings rate has spiked , therefore more Americans are saving , therefore they can financially handle another lockdown .
Now , either Kashkari is very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m going to go with evil .
This is just more proof that supports my position that the Fed is a suicide bomber seeking the deliberate destruction of the US in the name of an ideological cult ( globalism ) .
First , the savings rate does not necessarily represent the majority of Americans .
The savings rate can increase dramatically due to a small subsection of the population , such as the upper middle class or the 1 % , setting large amounts of money aside , yet the statistics treat this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Personal Savings Rate also includes stocks and bonds as “ savings ” , which helps to skew the numbers as well .
Secondly , with 30 million more Americans added to the unemployment rolls after the last lockdown , how can we take the recent increase in the savings rate seriously ?
How many average middle class or poverty stricken Americans are included in that stat ?
Constitutional Homelan ... Edwin Vieira Best Price : $ 19.00 Buy New $ 27.95 Thirdly , even if the Fed stat was accurate and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is this an excuse to enforce even harsher lockdowns ?
People generally save in order to prepare for the worst case scenario .
So , because they are saving for the worst case scenario , Kashkari wants to punish them with the worst case scenario , thereby wiping out their savings ?
Again , he ’ s either stupid or evil ; take your pick .
All no-win scenarios are constructed on lies and false narratives .
They require you to believe certain fallacies before you can feel trapped by the decision that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim that his strategy will be better for the country in the long run , but he knows full well that the economy was crashing well before the coronavirus arrived on the scene .
In fact , the Federal Reserve built the framework for the crash by addicting the system to easy debt through stimulus measures and low interest rates , then they took away the punch bowl triggering a bubble implosion , and now they are flooding the world with punch until everyone drowns in the inflation .
The US economy was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is no point in giving up your freedom or economic access to save the system .
Another lie is that we can somehow avoid or escape the virus .
Eventually , almost everyone is going to get it , it ’ s just a matter of time .
Hope that a working vaccine can be developed in less than a year is deluded , and given the terrible results of previous attempts by governments to rush vaccines into production , I think I would rather take my chances with Covid .
Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a vaccine will not be fully effective and that the virus may be around for many years to come .
So , why are we beating around the bush ?
Why are we shutting down the economy ?
Why are we giving up our everyday freedoms ?
Who are we saving ?
No one .
The people that are going to die from coronavirus are going to die from it sooner or later .
If we are going to get into a discussion on the so-called “ greater good ” , then let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The decision is not all that hard when you set aside the propaganda and think about it .
Dragging the pandemic out over years with lockdowns hurts the majority of people .
It expedites an economic crash that was already in motion and it will lead to massive poverty levels in the US as well as a supply chain breakdown .
It may even lead to full-on collapse .
To be clear , I respect the private property rights of businesses that want customers to wear masks or take other precautions in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to not shop at those businesses if I don ’ t like it .
The problems arise when government officials try to FORCE businesses to institute pandemic restrictions or to close down completely .
An even bigger problem arises when governments try to force pandemic restrictions onto individuals in their everyday lives .
This is simply unacceptable .
Government edicts forcing people to social distance or wear masks or deny them the right to free assembly , once instituted , will probably never go away .
Once government has the power to dictate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moment-by-moment decisions are a threat to “ public health ” , they have total power to do anything they wish .
Many of these orders are also being made at the executive level .
No state governor , no mayor , no president has the right to unilaterally create laws and assert unchecked authority .
It is the job of legislatures to pass laws that affect the common public , and often these laws must be voted on by the citizenry through ballot initiatives .
The governor has no more power to force @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lunatic leftist Karen on the street .
It ’ s not that I don ’ t care about the people that are susceptible to the virus , it ’ s just that I ’ m not willing to play a rigged game of sacrifice for those people .
No , they aren ’ t worth it , and I include myself in that statement in the event that I am susceptible to the virus .
Why should over 99 % of people be treated like prisoners so less than 1 % of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are really at risk then STAY HOME , shop online and let the rest of us get on with our lives .
I would never ask the majority of people to sacrifice their liberties for my personal comfort .
Anyone who does is a coward .
