The media consistently misrepresents international events, prodding the citizenry into accepting that the ongoing invasion of multiple other countries is essential.
The most popular candidates for president (both parties) are the candidates that are the most egotistical, out-of-control blowhards who preach provocative rhetoric rather than real solutions.
Still, most Americans retain the hope that, somehow, it will all work out.
Hope Is a Desire, Not a Plan
There are growing numbers of Americans who have accepted that the US is unravelling rapidly and is headed for a social, economic, and political collapse of one form or another.
Some talk of a new revolution (but hopefully a peaceful one, of the Tea Party sort). Some imagine that, if they can store enough guns and ammunition in their homes, they might be able to make a stand against government authorities. Others mull over the idea of organised secession by some of the states. A small, but growing, number are quietly leaving for more promising destinations.
Except for the last of these, most of the “hopes” are understandable, but any attempt at a “Second American Revolution” is unlikely to succeed.
Why? Well, just for a start,
The power of the US state is far greater than that of King George III in the late eighteenth century.
The present US state would be fighting on its own ground, not some continent thousands of miles across the ocean.
The US state is committed to the concept that it dealt definitively (and forever) with the concept of secession between 1861 and 1865.
But, for the sake of argument, let’s say that a breakup of the union, or complete removal and replacement of the government were possible in the US. What then? The New Class War: Sav... Lind, Michael Best Price: $14.00 Buy New $16.75 (as of 03:13 UTC - Details)
Well, unfortunately, here comes the really bad news for those who hope that the US could start over as the free nation it was in its infancy:
In the late eighteenth century, America was a largely agrarian collection of colonies. Colonists had to work hard just to survive, so the work ethic and self-reliance were paramount in the colonists’ makeup. They were a brave people who were accustomed to providing for themselves and physically fighting off those who would challenge them.
Colonists received no significant largesse from the British or local governments. No welfare, no social security, no Medicare or Medicaid, no benefits of any kind.
Colonists made their own daily decisions. They had no government schools or media telling them what to think or what choices to make. They relied on common sense and self-determination to guide their decisions and actions.
Today, of course, the opposite is true. Less than 2% of Americans are involved in agriculture. A mere 9% are actually employed in the production of goods. They are rarely directly involved in their own physical protection (Most, if not all, combat is overseas and fought by defence contractors or those who voluntarily serve the military).
Most Americans receive benefits of one type or another from their government. Most recipients regard these benefits as “essential” and could not get by without them.
Most Americans receive their opinions from the media. Although this is not apparent to many Americans, it’s glaringly clear to those outside the US who can only shake their heads at the misinformation proffered by the US media and the wholesale acceptance of this “alternate reality” by so many Americans.
But what bearing does this have on what the future would be for Americans if they were to become determined enough to either remove their entire government or, alternatively, for some states to secede? The Age of Entitlement... Caldwell, Christopher Best Price: $20.10 Buy New $17.39 (as of 08:49 UTC - Details)
There have been many revolutions in the history of the world, both peaceful and otherwise. In the case of the American Revolution of 1776, the colonists themselves were largely self-contained as a people and possessed the ideal ethos to succeed as a productive country.
But this has rarely been true in history. Whenever a people have been heavily dependent on the State in one way or another, they had become accustomed to receiving largesse at the expense of others. This is a major, major factor. Such a group is unlikely in the extreme to either produce or elect a Washington or a Jefferson. They almost always choose, instead, to fall in behind someone who promises largesse from the State. In choosing such leaders, the people are more likely to receive a Robespierre or a Lenin. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
The pervasive difficulty here lies in the erroneous concept that there can be a return to freedom whilst maintaining the dependency upon largesse from the State. The two are mutually exclusive. Those who seek a return to greater freedom must also accept that “freedom for all” means an end to the State being empowered to steal from one person in order to give to another.
Or, as stated by Frédéric Bastiat in the mid-nineteenth century, “Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavours to live at the expense of everybody else.”
Whether the US continues on its present downward progression, or if it breaks free in a bid for greater freedom, the eventual outcome is likely to have more to do with the collectivist mindset of the majority than with the libertarian vision of a few.

1619 Plus 2020 Equals 1984

In George Orwell ’ s novel “ 1984 , ” the central governmental agency in his fictitious country of Oceania is the antonymic Ministry of Truth , a body charged with the duty of erasing actual history and then rewriting it to meet what was considered to be more acceptable ideological concepts .

lewrockwell--2020-10-19--Who Will Have Written Obama’s New Book? (Not Obama)

When the first half of Barack Obama ’ s long overdue memoir , Promised Land , is published on November 17 , I expect to receive calls like the one I received in the spring of 2011 .
That call came from a fellow named Michael Cohen .
I did not recognize the name at the time .
Nor did I know how Cohen got my cell number .
He explained that he was the attorney for Donald Trump — I did recognize that name — and he wanted to know what I knew about Barack Obama ’ s origins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the authorship of Obama ’ s 1995 memoir , Dreams from My Father , I would occasionally get calls like this from people of a higher pay grade than mine .
Having followed the birth certificate issue only from a distance , I recommended instead that Trump focus on the authorship question .

” At “ Michelle ’ s urging , ” Obama “ sought advice from his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers.
” What attracted the Obamas were “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ writer ” as evident in his 1993 book To Teach .
Noting that Obama had already taped interviews with many of his relatives , both African and American , Andersen elaborates , “ These oral histories , along with his partial manuscript and a trunkload of notes were given to Ayers.
” Ayers himself took credit for Dreams on multiple occasions , usually , but not always , with a wink and a nod .
My conversation with Cohen reaffirmed that Trump was the un-Obama , a creature of his own creation : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a truck bomb .
Unlike most on the right , Trump refused to be intimidated .
He was eager and ready to vet the nation ’ s first unvetted president .

He doubled down on Hannity ’ s show .
For all the outrage about Trump ’ s questioning of Obama ’ s birth certificate , the mainstream media were noticeably silent about Trump ’ s much more tangible challenge to Obama ’ s literary skills .
At the time , there was negligible pushback to his remarks about Dreams .

Ever since I first started questioning the authorship of Obama’s 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, I would occasionally get calls like this from people of a higher pay grade than mine. Having followed the birth certificate issue only from a distance, I recommended instead that Trump focus on the authorship question.

Unlike most on the right, Trump refused to be intimidated. He was eager and ready to vet the nation’s first unvetted president. On April 15, 2011, Sean Hannity of Fox News gave him the opportunity.

“I heard he had terrible marks, and he ends up in Harvard,” said Trump in his inimitably artless style. “He wrote a book that was better than Ernest Hemingway, but the second book was written by an average person.”
“You suspect Bill Ayers?” said Hannity.
“I said, Bill Ayers wrote the book,” Trump replied.
Trump had made the claim earlier in a public forum. He doubled
down on Hannity’s show. For all the outrage about Trump’s questioning of Obama’s birth certificate, the mainstream media were noticeably silent about Trump’s much more tangible challenge to Obama’s literary skills. At the time, there was negligible pushback to his remarks about Dreams.

lewrockwell--2020-10-19--Coronavirus Fraud Scandal — The Biggest Fight Has Just Begun

The video announcement1,2,3,4 above by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich5 is long , but I strongly recommend listening to it in its entirety .
Fuellmich has been a consumer protection trial lawyer in California and Germany6 for 26 years and is one of four founding members of the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee ( Außerparlamentarischer Corona Untersuchungsausschuss7 ) ,8,9 launched July 10 , 2020 .
The other three founding members , all lawyers , are Viviane Fischer , Antonia Fischer and Justus P. Hoffmann , Ph.D.10 Fuellmich is heading up the committee ’ s corona crisis tort case .
All meetings are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s YouTube channel11 ( at least for now ) .
According to Fuellmich , an international class-action lawsuit will be filed against those responsible for implementing the economically devastating lockdowns around the world , as well as using fraudulent testing to engineer the appearance of a dangerous pandemic .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ level , all-out efforts must be made to ensure “ that no one will ever again be in a position of such power as to be able to defraud humanity , or to attempt to manipulate us with their corrupt agendas.
” To that end , the Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee will be working with an international network of lawyers to argue the most massive tort case ever — a case Fuellmich describes as “ probably the greatest crime against humanity ever committed.
” Good Intentions : How B ... Nussbaum , Bruce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Fuellmich , crimes against humanity , first defined during the Nuremberg trials following World War II , are today regulated in Section 7 of the International Criminal Code .
The three questions the committee seeks to answer through judicial means are : 1.Is there a COVID-19 pandemic or is there only a polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) test pandemic ?
Specifically , does a positive PCR test result mean that the individual is infected with SARS-CoV-2 and has COVID-19 , or does it mean absolutely nothing in connection with the COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as lockdowns , mask mandates , social distancing and quarantine regulations serve to protect the world ’ s population from COVID-19 , or do these measures serve only to make people panic ?

According to Fuellmich , Germany “ is known as a particularly disciplined country and was therefore to become a role model for the rest of the world for its strict and , of course , successful adherence ” to pandemic measures .
Answers to these questions are urgently needed , he says , because SARS-CoV-2 , which is touted as one of the most serious threats to life in modern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excess mortality anywhere in the world.
” Pandemic measures , on the other hand , have “ caused the loss of innumerable human lives , and have destroyed the economic existence of countless companies and individuals worldwide , ” Fuellmich says .
He points out that in Australia , residents are now thrown into prison if they do not comply with mask rules , and in the Philippines , people can be shot dead if they defy lockdown orders or don ’ t wear a mask.12,13 During the first week of April 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would “ not hesitate ” to kill anyone challenging his pandemic restrictions:14,15 Plague : One Scientist & ... Mikovits , Judy Best Price : $ 29.55 Buy New $ 17.99 This hardly seems to be a strategy aimed at preserving life .
Fuellmich goes on to present “ the facts as they present themselves , ” based on expert testimony collected by the committee so far .
According to Fuellmich , in May 2019 , and again in early 2020 , the Christian Democratic Union ( CDU ) of Germany held a congress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political leaders , including Mr. Tedros Adhanom , head of the WHO , and German health officials , speeches were also given by chief lobbyists of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust .
He also points out that the very definition of “ pandemic ” was altered 12 years ago .
Originally , a pandemic was defined as a disease that spread worldwide , resulting in widespread serious illness and deaths .
Twelve years ago , the definition was changed to reflect a disease that spreads worldwide only .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ were not required anymore , to announce a pandemic , ” he says .
This change to the definition of a pandemic is what allowed the WHO to declare the swine flu a pandemic in June 2009,16 which resulted in the sale of many millions of dollars of fast-tracked swine flu vaccines .
Within months , cases of disability and death from the H1N1 vaccine were reported in various parts of the world .
In the aftermath , the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly ( PACE ) questioned the WHO ’ s handling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , PACE concluded “ the handling of the pandemic by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , EU health agencies and national governments led to a ‘ waste of large sums of public money , and unjustified scares and fears about the health risks faced by the European public . '
” 17 Specifically , PACE concluded there was “ overwhelming evidence that the seriousness of the pandemic was vastly overrated by WHO , ” and that the drug industry had influenced the organization ’ s decision-making .
A joint investigation by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Investigative Journalism ( BIJ ) also uncovered serious conflicts of interest between the WHO — which promoted the global vaccination agenda — and the drug companies that created those vaccines.18 As noted by Fuellmich : Dancing Naked in the M ... Mullis , Kary Best Price : $ 5.52 Buy New $ 15.17 One of the characters that drummed up panic in 2009 with his doomsday prophesies was German virologist Christian Drosten , head of the Institute of Virology at the University of Bonn Medical Centre , best known for developing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He also developed a diagnostic test for the swine flu.19 Drosten spoke at the 2019 CDU congress on global health , and according to Fuellmich , when it came time to decide on a response for COVID-19 , the German government relied on the opinion of Drosten alone .
Meanwhile , many “ highly renowned scientists ” painted a completely different picture of the COVID-19 pandemic .
Among them , professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University in California ; professor Michael Levitt , a biophysicist at Stanford University and Nobel prize winner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Sucharit Bhakdi , Klud Wittkowski and Stefan Homburg .
Dr. Mike Yeadon , former vice president and scientific director of Pfizer , is also on this list .
Yeadon recently went on record stating “ there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen , ” and that false positive results from unreliable PCR tests are being used to “ manufacture a ‘ second wave ’ based on ‘ new cases . '
” 20 He also quotes21 from a scientific paper published in September 2020 by Yeadon and colleagues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Corruption : ... Mikovits , Judy Buy New $ 16.51 Commenting on “ the current , actual situation regarding the virus ’ s danger ; the complete uselessness of PCR tests for the detection of infections ; and the lockdowns based on nonexistent infections , ” Fuellmich states : Fuellmich goes on to cite data showing that in Bergamo , Italy , 94 % of deaths were not the result of COVID-19 infection spreading wild but , rather , the consequence of the government ’ s decision to transfer sick patients from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread infection — colds , flu and SARS-CoV-2 — among the old and frail .
This was also done by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,22 in direct violation of federal guidelines,23 as well as in Minnesota , Ohio,24 Pennsylvania , New Jersey , Michigan and California.25 Fuellmich also points out the routine malpractice that occurred in some New York hospitals , where all suspected COVID-19 patients were placed on mechanical ventilation , which turned out to be a death sentence .
Vaccine Epidemic : How ... Best Price : $ 7.50 Buy New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Based on the expert testimony collected so far by Fuellmich and his colleagues , lockdowns were unnecessary , and any claim to the contrary is wrong .
The three reasons for this are : • Lockdowns were imposed at a time when the virus was already in retreat and infection rates were starting to decline • Scientific evidence shows a majority of people already have built-in protection against the virus due to cross-reactive T cell immunity from exposure to cold and flu viruses , , , , , , , , , • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used as a gauge of infection rates and a justification for restrictive measures — “ do not give any indication of an infection with any virus let alone an infection with SARS-CoV-2 ” First of all , the PCR test have not been approved for diagnostic purposes .
Its inventor , Kary Mullis , has repeatedly yet unsuccessfully stressed that this test should not be used as a diagnostic tool .
As noted by Fuellmich : • Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • The performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of 2019-nCoV infection .
• This test can not rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens .
Equally important is the fact that PCR tests can not distinguish between inactive viruses and “ live ” or reproductive ones .
As a result , they may pick up dead debris or inactive viral particles that pose no risk whatsoever to the patient and others .
What ’ s more , the test can pick up the presence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may simply indicate that you ’ ve recuperated from a common cold in the past .
In the September 20 , 2020 article37 “ Lies , Damned Lies and Health Statistics — The Deadly Danger of False Positives , ” Yeadon details the problems with basing our pandemic response on positive PCR tests .
In summary , the PCR test simply measures the presence of partial DNA sequences that are present in a virus , but it can not tell us whether that virus is active or inactive .
Chances are , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ test simply means it has detected inactive viral DNA in your body .
This would also mean that you are not contagious .
While mortality statistics during the pandemic have been within the norms of any given year,38,39 meaning the pandemic has not resulted in an excess number of deaths or a death toll higher than normal , the collateral damage from pandemic response measures is nearly incalculable .
Public health , both physical and mental , as well as the global economy , have all suffered tremendous blows .
Fuellmich cites yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ official in the Department of the Interior , dubbed “ the False Alarm paper , ” 40,41 which concludes that there ’ s no evidence to suggest SARS-CoV-2 posed a serious health risk for the population , at least the danger is no greater than that of many other viruses , while pandemic measures have “ manifold ” and “ grave ” consequences .
In closing , Fuellmich reviews the legal consequences that are currently underway .
This includes looking at the constitutionality of the measures .
He notes : Then there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of damage and crimes against humanity .
According to Fuellmich , there ’ s evidence showing a range of falsehoods and misrepresentations of facts have purposely been circulated , such that , based on the rules of criminal law , “ it can only be assessed as fraud , ” and “ based on the rules of civil tort law , this translates into intentional infliction of damage.
” To address these grievances , the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee is prepared to file a class-action lawsuit — a legal remedy available in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responsible parties .
Such a lawsuit would also open the door to pretrial discovery , which requires all relevant evidence to be presented to the other party .
Destruction or withholding evidence has serious consequences , as “ the party withholding or … destroying evidence loses the case under these evidence rules.
” In Germany , a group of tort lawyers have already started the process of disseminating information and legal forms , and estimating damages among German plaintiffs .
Fuellmich concludes his announcement explaining how the lawsuit will proceed from here : @ @ @ @ @

Fuellmich has been a consumer protection trial lawyer in California and Germany6 for 26 years and is one of four founding members of the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee (Außerparlamentarischer Corona Untersuchungsausschuss7),8,9 launched July 10, 2020.

This includes everyone from local policy makers all the way to the World Health Organization and drug companies. He claims more than 50 other countries will be following suit.
“I have been practicing law primarily as a trial lawyer against fraudulent corporations such as Deutsche bank, formerly one of the world’s largest and most respected banks, today one of the most toxic criminal organizations in the world;
VW, one of the world’s largest and most respected car manufacturers, today notorious for its giant diesel fraud; and Cunard and Niagara the world’s largest shipping company. We’re suing them in a multi-million-dollar bribery case,” Fuellmich says.
“All the above-mentioned cases of corruption and fraud committed by the German corporations pale in comparison in view of the extent of the damage that the corona crisis has caused and continues to cause. This corona crisis, according to all we know today, must be renamed a corona scandal; and those responsible for it must be criminally prosecuted and sued for civil damages.”

Exposing Corrupt Agendas
Fuellmich stresses that, on a political level, all-out efforts must be made to ensure “that no one will ever again be in a position of such power as to be able to defraud humanity, or to attempt to manipulate us with their corrupt agendas.”
To that end, the Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee will be working with an international network of lawyers to argue the most massive tort case ever — a case Fuellmich describes as “probably the greatest crime against humanity ever committed.” Good Intentions: How B... Nussbaum, Bruce Check Amazon for Pricing.
As explained by Fuellmich, crimes against humanity, first defined during the Nuremberg trials following World War II, are today regulated in Section 7 of the International Criminal Code. The three questions the committee seeks to answer through judicial means are:
1.Is there a COVID-19 pandemic or is there only a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test pandemic?
Specifically, does a positive PCR test result mean that the individual is infected with SARS-CoV-2 and has COVID-19, or does it mean absolutely nothing in connection with the COVID-19 infection?
2.Do pandemic response measures such as lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing and quarantine regulations serve to protect the world’s population from COVID-19, or do these measures serve only to make people panic?
Are these measures intended to sow “panic in order to make people believe, without asking any questions, that their lives are in danger, so that the pharmaceutical and tech industries can generate huge profits from the sale of PCR tests, antigen and antibody tests and vaccines, as well as the harvesting of our genetic fingerprints?”
3.Is it true that the German government was massively lobbied — more so than any other country — by the chief protagonists of this COVID-19 pandemic?
According to Fuellmich, Germany “is known as a particularly disciplined country and was therefore to become a role model for the rest of the world for its strict and, of course, successful adherence” to pandemic measures.
Answers to these questions are urgently needed, he says, because SARS-CoV-2, which is touted as one of the most serious threats to life in modern history, “has not caused any excess mortality anywhere in the world.”
Pandemic measures, on the other hand, have “caused the loss of innumerable human lives, and have destroyed the economic existence of countless companies and individuals worldwide,” Fuellmich says.
He points out that in Australia, residents are now thrown into prison if they do not comply with mask rules, and in the Philippines, people can be shot dead if they defy lockdown orders or don’t wear a mask.12,13 During the first week of April 2020, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced he would “not hesitate” to kill anyone challenging his pandemic restrictions:14,15
“I will not hesitate. My orders are to the police and military, as well as village officials, if there is any trouble, or occasions where there’s violence and your lives are in danger, shoot them dead.
Is that understood? Dead. Instead of causing trouble, I will bury you. Do not intimidate the government. Do not challenge the government. You will lose,” Duterte said.
Plague: One Scientist&... Mikovits, Judy Best Price: $29.55 Buy New $17.99 (as of 04:10 UTC - Details) This hardly seems to be a strategy aimed at preserving life. Fuellmich goes on to present “the facts as they present themselves,” based on expert testimony collected by the committee so far.
The German Congress on Global Health
According to Fuellmich, in May 2019, and again in early 2020, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Germany held a congress on global health. In addition to political leaders, including Mr. Tedros Adhanom, head of the WHO, and German health officials, speeches were also given by chief lobbyists of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust.
“Less than a year later these very people called the shots in the proclamation of the worldwide corona pandemic, made sure that mass PCR tests were used to prove mass infections with COVID-19 all over the world, and are now pushing for vaccines to be invented and sold worldwide,” Fuellmich says.
“These infections, or rather the positive test results that the PCR tests delivered, in turn became the justification for worldwide lockdowns, social distancing and mandatory face masks.”
He also points out that the very definition of “pandemic” was altered 12 years ago. Originally, a pandemic was defined as a disease that spread worldwide, resulting in widespread serious illness and deaths. Twelve years ago, the definition was changed to reflect a disease that spreads worldwide only. “Many serious illnesses and many deaths were not required anymore, to announce a pandemic,” he says.
The Swine Flu Pandemic That Wasn’t
This change to the definition of a pandemic is what allowed the WHO to declare the swine flu a pandemic in June 2009,16 which resulted in the sale of many millions of dollars of fast-tracked swine flu vaccines. Within months, cases of disability and death from the H1N1 vaccine were reported in various parts of the world.
In the aftermath, the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) questioned the WHO’s handling of the pandemic. In June 2010, PACE concluded “the handling of the pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), EU health agencies and national governments led to a ‘waste of large sums of public money, and unjustified scares and fears about the health risks faced by the European public.'”17
Specifically, PACE concluded there was “overwhelming evidence that the seriousness of the pandemic was vastly overrated by WHO,” and that the drug industry had influenced the organization’s decision-making.
A joint investigation by the British Medical Journal and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) also uncovered serious conflicts of interest between the WHO — which promoted the global vaccination agenda — and the drug companies that created those vaccines.18 As noted by Fuellmich: Dancing Naked in the M... Mullis, Kary Best Price: $5.52 Buy New $15.17 (as of 02:58 UTC - Details)
“These vaccines proved to be completely unnecessary because the swine flu eventually turned out to be a mild flu and never became the horrific plague that the pharmaceutical industry and its affiliated universities kept announcing it would turn into, with millions of deaths certain to happen, if people didn’t get vaccinated.
These vaccines also led to serious health problems: about 700 children in Europe fell incurably ill with narcolepsy and are now forever severely disabled. The vaccines bought with millions of taxpayers’ money had to be destroyed, with even more taxpayers’ money.”
The Virologist Responsible for Germany’s Lockdown Orders
One of the characters that drummed up panic in 2009 with his doomsday prophesies was German virologist Christian Drosten, head of the Institute of Virology at the University of Bonn Medical Centre, best known for developing the first diagnostic test for SARS in 2003. He also developed a diagnostic test for the swine flu.19
Drosten spoke at the 2019 CDU congress on global health, and according to Fuellmich, when it came time to decide on a response for COVID-19, the German government relied on the opinion of Drosten alone.
“In an outrageous violation of the universally accepted principle audiator at ultra parse, which means that one must also hear the other side, the only person they listened to was Mr. Drosten, that is, the very person whose horrific panic-inducing prognosis had proved to be catastrophically false 12 years earlier,” Fuellmich says.
Meanwhile, many “highly renowned scientists” painted a completely different picture of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University in California; professor Michael Levitt, a biophysicist at Stanford University and Nobel prize winner for chemistry; German professors Karin Mulling, Sucharit Bhakdi, Klud Wittkowski and Stefan Homburg.
Dr. Mike Yeadon, former vice president and scientific director of Pfizer, is also on this list. Yeadon recently went on record stating “there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen,” and that false positive results from unreliable PCR tests are being used to “manufacture a ‘second wave’ based on ‘new cases.'”20
“They assumed, and still do assume, that there was no disease that went beyond the gravity of the seasonal flu; that the population had already acquired cross or T-cell immunity against this allegedly new virus; and that there was therefore no reason for any special measures and certainly not for vaccinations,” Fuellmich says.
He also quotes21 from a scientific paper published in September 2020 by Yeadon and colleagues, in which they state: Plague of Corruption: ... Mikovits, Judy Buy New $16.51 (as of 02:59 UTC - Details)
“We’re basing our government policy, our economic policy and the policy of restricting fundamental rights presumably on completely wrong data and assumptions about the coronavirus. If it weren’t for the test results that are constantly reported in the media, the pandemic would be over, because nothing really happened.”
Situational Analysis
Commenting on “the current, actual situation regarding the virus’s danger; the complete uselessness of PCR tests for the detection of infections; and the lockdowns based on nonexistent infections,” Fuellmich states:
“We know that the health care systems were never in danger of becoming overwhelmed by COVID-19. On the contrary, many hospitals remain empty to this day and some are now facing bankruptcy. The hospital ship Comfort which anchored in New York at the time, and could have accommodated a thousand patients, never accommodated more than some 20 patients.
Nowhere was there any excess mortality. Studies carried out by Professor Ioannidis and others have shown that the mortality of corona is equivalent to that of the seasonal flu; even the pictures from Bergamo and New York that were used to demonstrate to the world that panic was in order proved to be deliberately misleading.
Then, the so-called ‘panic paper’ was leaked which was written by the German Department of the Interior. Its classified content shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that in fact the population was deliberately driven to panic by politicians and mainstream media.
The accompanying irresponsible statements of the head of the RKI, remember the CDC, Mr. Wieler who repeatedly and excitedly announced that the corona measures must be followed unconditionally by the population, without them asking any question shows that he followed the script verbatim.
In his public statements, he kept announcing that the situation was very grave and threatening although the figures compiled by his own institute proved the exact opposite. Among other things, the panic paper calls for children to be made to feel responsible, and I quote, ‘for the painful tortured death of their parents and grandparents if they do not follow the corona rules.'”
Fuellmich goes on to cite data showing that in Bergamo, Italy, 94% of deaths were not the result of COVID-19 infection spreading wild but, rather, the consequence of the government’s decision to transfer sick patients from hospitals to nursing homes, where they spread infection — colds, flu and SARS-CoV-2 — among the old and frail.
This was also done by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,22 in direct violation of federal guidelines,23 as well as in Minnesota, Ohio,24 Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan and California.25 Fuellmich also points out the routine malpractice that occurred in some New York hospitals, where all suspected COVID-19 patients were placed on mechanical ventilation, which turned out to be a death sentence.

“Again, to clarify, COVID-19 … is a dangerous disease, just like the seasonal flu is a dangerous disease, and of course COVID-19, just like the seasonal flu, may sometimes take a severe clinical course and will sometimes kill patients,” Fuellmich says.
“However, as autopsies have shown, which were carried out in Germany, in particular by the forensic scientist Professor Klaus Püschel in Hamburg, the fatalities he examined had almost all been caused by serious pre-existing conditions and almost all of the people who had died, had died at a very old age, just like in Italy, meaning they had lived beyond their average life expectancy.
In this context, the following should also be mentioned: the German RKI, that is again the equivalent of the CDC, had initially, strangely enough, recommended that no autopsies be performed and there are numerous credible reports that doctors and hospitals worldwide had been paid money for declaring a deceased person a victim of COVID-19 rather than writing down the true cause of death on the death certificate, for example a heart attack or a gunshot wound.
Without the autopsies, we would never know that the overwhelming majority of the alleged COVID-19 victims had died of completely different diseases but not of COVID-19.“
Lockdowns Were and Are Unnecessary
Based on the expert testimony collected so far by Fuellmich and his colleagues, lockdowns were unnecessary, and any claim to the contrary is wrong. The three reasons for this are:
Lockdowns were imposed at a time when the virus was already in retreat and infection rates were starting to decline Scientific evidence shows a majority of people already have built-in protection against the virus due to cross-reactive T cell immunity from exposure to cold and flu viruses 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 The PCR test — which is being used as a gauge of infection rates and a justification for restrictive measures — “do not give any indication of an infection with any virus let alone an infection with SARS-CoV-2”
To the politicians, who believe those corrupt people, these facts are hereby offered as a lifeline, that can help you readjust your course of action and start the long overdue public scientific discussion and not go down with those charlatans and criminals. ~ Dr. Reiner Fuellmich
The PCR Test Fraud
First of all, the PCR test have not been approved for diagnostic purposes. Its inventor, Kary Mullis, has repeatedly yet unsuccessfully stressed that this test should not be used as a diagnostic tool. As noted by Fuellmich:
“[PCR tests] are simply incapable of diagnosing any disease … A positive PCR test result does not mean that an infection is present. If someone tests positive, it does not mean that they’re infected with anything, let alone with the contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus. Even the United States CDC … agrees with this and I quote directly from page 38 of one of its publications on the coronavirus and the PCR tests dated July 13 2020:36
Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms.
The performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of 2019-nCoV infection.
This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.
The PCR swabs take one or two sequences of a molecule that are invisible to the human eye and therefore need to be amplified in many cycles to make it visible. Everything over 35 cycles is … considered completely unreliable and scientifically unjustifiable.
However, the Drosten test as well as the WHO recommended tests … are set to 45 cycles. Can that be because of the desire to produce as many positive results as possible and thereby provide the basis for the false assumption that a large number of infections have been detected?”
Equally important is the fact that PCR tests cannot distinguish between inactive viruses and “live” or reproductive ones. As a result, they may pick up dead debris or inactive viral particles that pose no risk whatsoever to the patient and others. What’s more, the test can pick up the presence of other coronaviruses, so a positive result may simply indicate that you’ve recuperated from a common cold in the past.
“Even Drosten himself declared in an interview with a German business magazine in 2014 … that these PCR tests are so highly sensitive that even very healthy and non-infectious people may test positive,” Fuellmich notes.
“In my view, it is completely implausible that [Drosten] forgot in 2020 what he knew about the PCR tests and told the business magazine in 2014. In short, this test cannot detect any infection, contrary to all false claims stating that it can.
An infection, a so-called hot infection, requires that the virus … penetrates into the cells, replicates there and causes symptoms such as headaches or a sore throat. Only then is a person really infected, in the sense of a hot infection; because only then is a person contagious, that is, able to infect others.
Until then it is completely harmless for both the host and all other people that the host comes into contact with … A number of highly respected scientists worldwide assume that there has never been a corona pandemic but only a PCR test pandemic …
Dr. Yeadon, in agreement with the professors of immunology, Camera from Germany, Capel from the Netherlands and Cahill from Ireland as well as a microbiologist, Dr. Harvey from Austria, all of whom testified before the German corona committee, explicitly points out that a positive test does not mean that an intact virus has been found.”
In the September 20, 2020 article37 “Lies, Damned Lies and Health Statistics — The Deadly Danger of False Positives,” Yeadon details the problems with basing our pandemic response on positive PCR tests.
In summary, the PCR test simply measures the presence of partial DNA sequences that are present in a virus, but it cannot tell us whether that virus is active or inactive. Chances are, if you have no symptoms, a positive test simply means it has detected inactive viral DNA in your body. This would also mean that you are not contagious.
Collateral Damage
While mortality statistics during the pandemic have been within the norms of any given year,38,39 meaning the pandemic has not resulted in an excess number of deaths or a death toll higher than normal, the collateral damage from pandemic response measures is nearly incalculable. Public health, both physical and mental, as well as the global economy, have all suffered tremendous blows.
Fuellmich cites yet another leaked document written by a German official in the Department of the Interior, dubbed “the False Alarm paper,”40,41 which concludes that there’s no evidence to suggest SARS-CoV-2 posed a serious health risk for the population, at least the danger is no greater than that of many other viruses, while pandemic measures have “manifold” and “grave” consequences.
“This, he concludes, will lead to very high claims for damages, which the government will be held responsible for. This has now become reality but the paper’s author was suspended,” Fuellmich says.
“More and more scientists, but also lawyers, recognize that as a result of the deliberate panic-mongering and the corona measures enabled by this panic, democracy is in great danger of being replaced by fascist totalitarian models …
According to psychologists and psychotherapists who testified before the corona committee, children are traumatized en masse, with the worst psychological consequences yet to be expected in the medium and long term.
In Germany alone, 500,000 to 800,000 bankruptcies are expected in the fall to strike small and medium-sized businesses which form the backbone of the economy. This will result in incalculable tax losses and incalculably high and long-term social security money transfers for, among other things, unemployment benefits.”
Legal Consequences
In closing, Fuellmich reviews the legal consequences that are currently underway. This includes looking at the constitutionality of the measures. He notes:
“Very recently, a judge, Torsten Schleife … declared publicly that the German judiciary, just like the general public has been so panic-stricken that it was no longer able to administer justice properly. He says that the courts of law, and I quote:
‘Have all too quickly waved through coercive measures which for millions of people all over Germany represent massive suspensions of their constitutional rights.’ He points out that German citizens, again I quote:
‘Are currently experiencing the most serious encroachment on their constitutional rights since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949. In order to contain the corona pandemic federal and state governments have intervened,’ he says, ‘massively and in part threatening the very existence of the country, as it is guaranteed by the constitutional rights of the people.'”
Then there are the issues of fraud, intentional infliction of damage and crimes against humanity. According to Fuellmich, there’s evidence showing a range of falsehoods and misrepresentations of facts have purposely been circulated, such that, based on the rules of criminal law, “it can only be assessed as fraud,” and “based on the rules of civil tort law, this translates into intentional infliction of damage.”
“The German professor of civil law, Martin Schwab, supports this finding in public interviews in a comprehensive legal opinion of around 180 pages. He has familiarized himself with the subject matter like no other legal scholar has done thus far and in particular has provided a detailed account of the complete failure of the mainstream media to report on the true facts of this so-called pandemic,” Fuellmich says.
“Under the rules of civil tort law, all those who have been harmed by these PCR tests, PCR tests induced lockdowns are entitled to receive full compensation for their losses. In particular, there is a duty to compensate, that is, a duty to pay damages, for the loss of profits suffered by companies and self-employed persons as a result of the lockdown, and other measures.
In the meantime, however, the anti-corona measures have caused and continue to cause such devastating damage to the world’s population’s health and economy that the crimes committed by Messrs Drosten, Wieler and the WHO must be legally qualified as actual crimes against humanity, as defined in Section 7 of the International Criminal Code.”
To address these grievances, the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee is prepared to file a class-action lawsuit — a legal remedy available in the U.S. and Canada — against the responsible parties.
“It should be emphasized that nobody must join the class action, but every injured party can join the class action,” Fuellmich explains. “The advantage of the class action is that only one trial is needed, namely, to try the complaint of a representative plaintiff who is affected in a manner typical of everyone else in the class.”
Such a lawsuit would also open the door to pretrial discovery, which requires all relevant evidence to be presented to the other party. Destruction or withholding evidence has serious consequences, as “the party withholding or … destroying evidence loses the case under these evidence rules.”
In Germany, a group of tort lawyers have already started the process of disseminating information and legal forms, and estimating damages among German plaintiffs. Fuellmich concludes his announcement explaining how the lawsuit will proceed from here:
“Initially, this group of lawyers had considered to also collect and manage the claims for damages of other non-German plaintiffs but this proved to be unmanageable.
However, through an international lawyers’ network, which is growing larger by the day, the German group of attorneys provides to all of their colleagues, in all other countries, free of charge, all relevant information, including expert opinions and testimonies of experts showing that the PCR tests cannot detect infections and they also provide them with all relevant information as to how they can prepare and bundle the claims for damages of their clients so that they too can assert their clients claims for damages either in their home countries, courts of law, or within the framework of the class action as explained above …
To the politicians, who believe those corrupt people, these facts are hereby offered as a lifeline, that can help you readjust your course of action and start the long overdue public scientific discussion and not go down with those charlatans and criminals.”
