lewrockwell--2020-10-23--The Virus That Isn’t There, Genetic Sequencing, and the Magic Trick

Recently , I ’ ve written a series of articles revealing that the existence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is unproven .
I ’ ve quoted key CDC and study documents that confess “ the virus is unavailable.
” Which is like an ice company saying they have no access to water .
[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] I ’ ve published quotes from Dr. Tom Cowan ’ s major article [ 6 ] exposing how CDC journal authors “ assemble ” the idea of a virus from cobbled sequences they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Below , I reprint my article on Dr. Cowan ’ s shocking findings . )
Now , I want to make overall comments on the con , the game , the hustle .
Wantdo Men ’ s Mil ... Buy New $ 55.89 The public , and most medical professionals , are awed by the whole concept of genetic sequencing .
They accept the process as a holy of holies .
If researchers in their lab claim they ’ ve “ sequenced the virus , ” the virus must exist .
How else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Of course , the virus doesn ’ t have to exist at all .
We are talking about an illusion .
Stage magic .
And if we could force him to explain his trick , the magician would say : “ Notice , I begin with a fragment of RNA I assume is part of a larger new virus .
My assumption isn ’ t proven .
I simply make the claim.
” “ Then I lay out the genetic structure of that little piece of RNA , and I discover I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fill out the sequence of the whole virus.
” “ That ’ s not really a discovery .
I already knew I ’ d need much more .
The question is : where am I going to get that added information ?
” “ The answer is : from data bases .
These bases contain miles of sequences that have already been established—rightly or wrongly .
Sequences of other viruses.
” “ Which sequences do I choose ?
I make guesses .
I make assumptions .
Actually , I choose according to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down .
In this case , a story about a member of the coronavirus family .
That ’ s right .
I always knew what I was going to look for .
In fact , that initial piece of RNA I began with ?
I could have selected all sorts of other pieces of RNA , but I chose that one because it seemed to be from the coronavirus family.
” Kamik Men ’ s Hunt ... Buy New $ 54.99 “ Does this whole business sound like a Lego or tinker-toy operation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never have a physical specimen of the virus .
I never isolate the purported virus from all the material that surrounds it .
I just assume or pretend the virus is in there.
” “ Anyway , I now select all sorts of genetic sequences from the huge database .
And I hook the sequences together , AS IF they were already connected and real and waiting for me to find them .
They weren ’ t , but I pretend they were.
” “ That pretense is the key .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leading to a lost silver mine .
There was never a map .
The con artist cobbled it together from pieces of other old maps of a territory in the mountains of Colorado .
The map looks real .
It looks whole .
But it was never whole.
” “ THE GENETIC SEQUENCE OF THE VIRUS is that map .
It ’ s made to look like a one long code that was there all along .
But it wasn ’ t .
It isn ’ t. ” “ Every good magic trick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the audience believe he is performing one smooth operation .
But he isn ’ t .
He ’ s taking all sorts of detours .
He ’ s reaching into his sleeve and pulling out a card .
He ’ s palming that card so no one sees it .
He ’ s slipping the card into the deck in his other hand .
And all the while , he ’ s talking confidently and making other gestures to distract the audience.
” “ The whole purpose of the trick is to inspire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same principle applies .
The researchers SEEM to find one long genetic sequence of the whole virus .
Astonishing.
” “ But that ’ s not what happened .
Not by a long shot.
” Wantdo Women ’ s M ... Buy New $ 54.10 “ And notice one other very important thing .
In the lab , we are actually piecing and cobbling together the pattern—the code—of a virus .
We don ’ t have to deal with actual genes .
What we do is all on the level of IDEATIONAL construction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So that ’ s another level of the trick .
We ’ re not stringing together pieces of material .
We ’ re stringing together pieces of data from genetic databases .
This would be like standing on stage in front of an audience and doing a very clever card trick without having a deck of cards in the first place .
Now THAT ’ S a trick for the ages.
” With all this I mind , read my previous article on Dr. Tom Cowan ’ s shocking discoveries : Dr. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of sheer nonsense —Cowan analyzes yet another key document posted by the CDC , in their journal , Emerging Infectious Diseases : “ Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 from Patient with Coronavirus Disease , United States ” — The hits keep coming .
The CDC used an arbitrary computer “ tinker-toy ” process to invent a description of the virus .
The virus that no one has proven exists .
This is the basic conclusion of Dr. Tom Cowan .
The CDC article [ 7 ] was discovered by Sally Fallon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , fleshes out the fraud .
Cowan ’ s article is titled , “ Only Poisoned Monkey Cells ‘ Grew ’ the ‘ Virus ’ .
” [ 6 ] Dr. Cowan : “ [ The CDC journal article ] was published in June 2020 [ original publication , March 2020 ] .
The purpose of the article was for a group of about 20 virologists to describe the state of the science of the isolation , purification and biological characteristics of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus , and to share this information with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A thorough and careful reading of this important paper reveals some shocking findings.
” Timberland Men ’ s ... Buy New $ 79.95 “ First , in the section titled ‘ Whole Genome Sequencing , ’ we find that rather than having isolated the virus and sequencing the genome from end to end , they found 37 base pairs from unpurified samples using PCR probes .
This means they actually looked at 37 out of the approximately 30,000 of the base pairs that are claimed to be the genome of the intact virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and put them into a computer program , which filled in the rest of the base pairs.
” In other words , the sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was done by assumption and arbitrary inference .
If this is science , a penguin is a spaceship .
Cowan : “ To me , this computer-generation step constitutes scientific fraud .
Here is an equivalency : A group of researchers claim to have found a unicorn because they found a piece of a hoof , a hair from a tail , and a snippet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that information into a computer and program it to re-create the unicorn , and they then claim this computer re-creation is the real unicorn .
Of course , they had never actually seen a unicorn so could not possibly have examined its genetic makeup to compare their samples with the actual unicorn ’ s hair , hooves and horn.
” “ The researchers claim they decided which is the real genome of SARS-CoV-2 by ‘ consensus , ’ sort of like a vote .
Again , different computer programs will come up with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ’ so they come together as a group and decide which is the real imaginary unicorn.
” As I ’ ve been stating [ 5 ] , the “ discovery ” of the “ new virus ” was actually the foisting of a PRE-DETERMINED STORY ABOUT A VIRUS .
Nothing real or believable about it .
But once the official pattern is laid down , others follow it dutifully .
Dr. Cowan uncovers more insanity in the CDC journal article .

lewrockwell--2020-10-23--A Fourth Turning Election Year Crisis

A Fourth Turning Election Year Crisis

“ The next Fourth Turning is due to begin shortly after the new millennium , midway through the Oh-Oh decade .
Around the year 2005 , a sudden spark will catalyze a Crisis mood .
Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate .
Political and economic trust will implode .
Real hardship will beset the land , with severe distress that could involve questions of class , race , nation and empire .
The very survival of the nation will feel at stake .
Sometime before the year 2025 , America will pass through a great gate in history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Civil War , and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.
” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning “ There is no darkness but ignorance .
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
” William Shakespeare I read The Fourth Turning in 2006 , after seeing it described in John Mauldin and Doug Casey ’ s newsletters as an uncannily accurate assessment of American history based upon generational configurations which recur on eighty-year cycles , a long human life .
Strauss and Howe wrote the book in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ predict the Crisis that would begin in the mid-2000 ’ s and come to an indeterminate climax in the mid-2020 ’ s .
The Fourth Turning : An ... Howe , Neil Best Price : $ 7.92 Buy New $ 12.04 As a student of history , the theory spoke to me .
I have been writing articles since 2009 , using the Fourth Turning as a guide to interpreting what has been happening and what might happen as this crisis period accelerates towards its violent culmination .
The quotes above perfectly capture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ began in September 2008 , with the Fed/Wall Street created financial collapse .
The existing social order is disintegrating , but they are willing to destroy the country rather than relinquish their wealth , power and control .
Strauss & Howe identified the core elements of this Crisis as debt , civic decay , and global disorder .
No one can argue the severe distress engulfing the nation and the world traces its origins to these core elements , with the catalyst for this Crisis being the 2008 central banker manufactured financial collapse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And 2008 ’ s epic implosion was driven by the disastrous financial , political and military decisions implemented by the puppets of the Deep State from 2000 onward , with the Federal Reserve obligingly creating bubble after bubble as the “ solution ” to the previous bubble .
And now we are here again , in the midst of the greatest bubble in the history of mankind .
A bubble of willful ignorance .
The obliviousness of most Americans to the danger awaiting them is akin to the day before Fort Sumpter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harbor was attacked , or the dinosaurs unaware of a giant meteor rushing towards the planet and about to transform their future in a challenging way .
Real hardship has beset the land , for those not in the .1 % or Deep State lackeys being rewarded for propagating mistruths , outright lies , fear , and propaganda on behalf of their oligarch benefactors .
These apparatchiks mainly consist of corrupt politicians , central bank lackeys , mainstream media hacks , neocon warmongers , surveillance state traitors , and big pharma captured health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does involve class , race , nation and empire , but most of the distress has been artificially created by those pulling the strings – Bernays ’ invisible government manipulating the masses .
Generations : The Histo ... Strauss , William Best Price : $ 2.03 Buy New $ 13.78 As the looming election advances like a deadly avalanche crashing down a mountainside towards an unsuspecting village below , a battle wages between an evil ingrained establishment and a few dedicated patriots of truth .
If you don ’ t feel the very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ balance , then you are either delusional , willfully ignorant , or unwilling to recognize your own cognitive dissonance .
The next five to ten years will alter the course of history in a profound way .
Whether the outcome is positive for average American citizens is very much in doubt .
“ Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted .
That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.
” – Aldous Huxley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but most human beings seem incapable of critical thought regarding how history follows a cyclical path due to human nature retaining its flaws , weaknesses , vulnerabilities and fortes throughout history .
We believe we have advanced because our inventions , discoveries , and technology , but the desire for wealth , power and control over others still consumes a sociopathic portion of mankind who tend to rise to the top through any means necessary .
As Huxley lamented in the 1950 ’ s , technological progress has actually propelled mankind backwards in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature and other human beings .
The very technology we glorify as an example of our advancement is now being used by the totalitarians to imprison us .
It has happened slowly and methodically over decades as generation after generation have entered the government indoctrination centers ( public schools ) to be taught ignorance and obedience to the state .
This indoctrination has been reinforced by ceaseless propaganda injected into their brains by media conglomerates doing the bidding of the state .
The dystopian use of disinformation , false narratives , blatant lies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Deep State , as their never-ending coup attempt against a duly elected president attests , will be the catalyst for the next vicious phase of this Fourth Turning .
For the last four years the Russiagate coup has dogged Trump , as Obama , Clinton , Brennan , Clapper , Comey , Mueller and a myriad of lesser co-conspirators have propagated the Big Lie to cover-up their traitorous actions of trying to overthrow Trump .
Millennials Rising : Th ... Neil Howe , William Str ... Best Price : $ 0.25 Buy New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unbiased journalists would have uncovered this conspiracy and revealed the truthful facts to a concerned public .
Instead , a completely captured corporate media has turned a blind eye to the truth as they have acted as accomplices of the coup culprits .
Just as evil is the suppression of truth through censorship and keeping silent regarding the truth .
Huxley understood how totalitarian propagandists operated decades before the current batch of Silicon Valley authoritarians initiated their national truth repression scheme .
“ Great is truth , but still greater , from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about truth .
By simply not mentioning certain subjects… totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
” – Aldous Huxley A perfect example of this is my local ABC news affiliate doing an hour long broadcast last night with absolutely no mention of the Hunter Biden – Joe Biden pay for play scandal .
The truth dies in silence .
The left-wing media dominated by six mega-corporations and social media billionaire titans ( Bezos , Zuckerberg , Dorsey ) have colluded with other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) and the traitorous Deep Staters ( Comey , Brennan , Clapper , Clinton ) to bring down a sitting president and now to memory hole proof of Joe Biden corruption and his son ’ s illegal dealings with foreign enemies .
These anti-rational propagandists are enemies of freedom , as they systematically pervert reality and knowingly manipulate the minds of the masses towards how they require them to think , feel and act .
After years of socialist indoctrination in government schools and universities , the masses have been taught to feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while personal responsibility is scorned .
The truth has been revealed , to those capable of critical thinking since the onset of this engineered pandemic fear exercise in March 2020 .
We have segued from the soft tyranny of Huxley ’ s Brave New World towards the harsh tyranny of Orwell ’ s 1984 .
As the leftist oligarchs have unleashed their ANTIFA and BLM terrorists in cities across America in “ mostly peaceful protests ” , as proclaimed by the Big Brother media , ignorance is strength rings true across our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the extreme level of ignorance exhibited by a vast swath of our population , as they glory in believing comforting mistruths which confirm their preordained belief structure .
They don ’ t know because they don ’ t want to know .
They are intoxicated by the endless stream of idiocy emanating from their iGadgets , as they willfully choose ignorance over awareness , servitude over freedom , and captivity over liberty .
As Huxley predicted , the controlling oligarchy has used technology to convince people to love their servitude , while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their government and media mouthpieces , doing the bidding of the government and oligarchs who control the government .
The goal of the ruling class is to keep people from thinking , and most willingly oblige because thinking is hard and the uncomfortable truths are too much to bear for the satiated masses .
A Generation of Sociop ... Gibney , Bruce Cannon Best Price : $ 4.19 Buy New $ 13.47 But there is a minority who want the truth and are willing and able to deal with the consequences .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exist because we ignore them .
Facts don ’ t care about your beliefs or feelings .
Facts lead you to the truth .
And the immense coverup of facts over the last ten months as we approach this historically important election boggles the mind of every critical thinking person on the planet .
This clearly coordinated effort to mislead the public regarding our dire financial plight , the truth about this overblown flu , the true facts about the Russiagate coup attempt against Trump , and now the massive Joe Biden/Hunter Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new level of malevolence and deceitfulness .
The duplicitous nature of the measures taken by the social media tyrants to control the narrative and dictate what the people must believe will climax in a violent response by those unwilling to accept their plot to overthrow the government and shredding of the U.S. Constitution .

“The next Fourth Turning is due to begin shortly after the new millennium, midway through the Oh-Oh decade. Around the year 2005, a sudden spark will catalyze a Crisis mood. Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate. Political and economic trust will implode. Real hardship will beset the land, with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation and empire. The very survival of the nation will feel at stake. Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
“There is no darkness but ignorance. The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.” William Shakespeare
I read The Fourth Turning in 2006, after seeing it described in John Mauldin and Doug Casey’s newsletters as an uncannily accurate assessment of American history based upon generational configurations which recur on eighty-year cycles, a long human life. Strauss and Howe wrote the book in 1997 and used their generational theory to predict the Crisis that would begin in the mid-2000’s and come to an indeterminate climax in the mid-2020’s.

As a student of history, the theory spoke to me. I have been writing articles since 2009, using the Fourth Turning as a guide to interpreting what has been happening and what might happen as this crisis period accelerates towards its violent culmination. The quotes above perfectly capture exactly what has happened since this crisis began in September 2008, with the Fed/Wall Street created financial collapse. The existing social order is disintegrating, but they are willing to destroy the country rather than relinquish their wealth, power and control.
Strauss & Howe identified the core elements of this Crisis as debt, civic decay, and global disorder. No one can argue the severe distress engulfing the nation and the world traces its origins to these core elements, with the catalyst for this Crisis being the 2008 central banker manufactured financial collapse. Nothing has been normal since 2008. And 2008’s epic implosion was driven by the disastrous financial, political and military decisions implemented by the puppets of the Deep State from 2000 onward, with the Federal Reserve obligingly creating bubble after bubble as the “solution” to the previous bubble.
And now we are here again, in the midst of the greatest bubble in the history of mankind. A bubble of willful ignorance. The obliviousness of most Americans to the danger awaiting them is akin to the day before Fort Sumpter was bombed, the day before Pearl Harbor was attacked, or the dinosaurs unaware of a giant meteor rushing towards the planet and about to transform their future in a challenging way.
Real hardship has beset the land, for those not in the .1% or Deep State lackeys being rewarded for propagating mistruths, outright lies, fear, and propaganda on behalf of their oligarch benefactors. These apparatchiks mainly consist of corrupt politicians, central bank lackeys, mainstream media hacks, neocon warmongers, surveillance state traitors, and big pharma captured health “experts”. The severe distress does involve class, race, nation and empire, but most of the distress has been artificially created by those pulling the strings – Bernays’ invisible government manipulating the masses.

As the looming election advances like a deadly avalanche crashing down a mountainside towards an unsuspecting village below, a battle wages between an evil ingrained establishment and a few dedicated patriots of truth. If you don’t feel the very survival of the nation hangs in the balance, then you are either delusional, willfully ignorant, or unwilling to recognize your own cognitive dissonance. The next five to ten years will alter the course of history in a profound way. Whether the outcome is positive for average American citizens is very much in doubt.
“Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” – Aldous Huxley
I wish it were not so, but most human beings seem incapable of critical thought regarding how history follows a cyclical path due to human nature retaining its flaws, weaknesses, vulnerabilities and fortes throughout history. We believe we have advanced because our inventions, discoveries, and technology, but the desire for wealth, power and control over others still consumes a sociopathic portion of mankind who tend to rise to the top through any means necessary.
As Huxley lamented in the 1950’s, technological progress has actually propelled mankind backwards in terms of its humanity and relationship with nature and other human beings. The very technology we glorify as an example of our advancement is now being used by the totalitarians to imprison us. It has happened slowly and methodically over decades as generation after generation have entered the government indoctrination centers (public schools) to be taught ignorance and obedience to the state. This indoctrination has been reinforced by ceaseless propaganda injected into their brains by media conglomerates doing the bidding of the state.
The dystopian use of disinformation, false narratives, blatant lies and propaganda by the totalitarians constituting the Deep State, as their never-ending coup attempt against a duly elected president attests, will be the catalyst for the next vicious phase of this Fourth Turning. For the last four years the Russiagate coup has dogged Trump, as Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Mueller and a myriad of lesser co-conspirators have propagated the Big Lie to cover-up their traitorous actions of trying to overthrow Trump.

Best Price: $0.25 Buy New $8.99 (as of 09:05 UTC - Details) An honest truth-seeking press with unbiased journalists would have uncovered this conspiracy and revealed the truthful facts to a concerned public. Instead, a completely captured corporate media has turned a blind eye to the truth as they have acted as accomplices of the coup culprits. Just as evil is the suppression of truth through censorship and keeping silent regarding the truth. Huxley understood how totalitarian propagandists operated decades before the current batch of Silicon Valley authoritarians initiated their national truth repression scheme.
“Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects… totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.” – Aldous Huxley
A perfect example of this is my local ABC news affiliate doing an hour long broadcast last night with absolutely no mention of the Hunter Biden – Joe Biden pay for play scandal. The truth dies in silence. The left-wing media dominated by six mega-corporations and social media billionaire titans (Bezos, Zuckerberg, Dorsey) have colluded with other left wing billionaires (Soros, Bloomberg) and the traitorous Deep Staters (Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton) to bring down a sitting president and now to memory hole proof of Joe Biden corruption and his son’s illegal dealings with foreign enemies.
These anti-rational propagandists are enemies of freedom, as they systematically pervert reality and knowingly manipulate the minds of the masses towards how they require them to think, feel and act. After years of socialist indoctrination in government schools and universities, the masses have been taught to feel rather than think. Victimhood is celebrated, while personal responsibility is scorned.
The truth has been revealed, to those capable of critical thinking since the onset of this engineered pandemic fear exercise in March 2020. We have segued from the soft tyranny of Huxley’s Brave New World towards the harsh tyranny of Orwell’s 1984. As the leftist oligarchs have unleashed their ANTIFA and BLM terrorists in cities across America in “mostly peaceful protests”, as proclaimed by the Big Brother media, ignorance is strength rings true across our dystopian landscape.
I’m amazed by the extreme level of ignorance exhibited by a vast swath of our population, as they glory in believing comforting mistruths which confirm their preordained belief structure. They don’t know because they don’t want to know. They are intoxicated by the endless stream of idiocy emanating from their iGadgets, as they willfully choose ignorance over awareness, servitude over freedom, and captivity over liberty.
As Huxley predicted, the controlling oligarchy has used technology to convince people to love their servitude, while unthinkingly believing what they are told by their government and media mouthpieces, doing the bidding of the government and oligarchs who control the government. The goal of the ruling class is to keep people from thinking, and most willingly oblige because thinking is hard and the uncomfortable truths are too much to bear for the satiated masses.

But there is a minority who want the truth and are willing and able to deal with the consequences. They realize facts don’t cease to exist because we ignore them. Facts don’t care about your beliefs or feelings. Facts lead you to the truth. And the immense coverup of facts over the last ten months as we approach this historically important election boggles the mind of every critical thinking person on the planet.
This clearly coordinated effort to mislead the public regarding our dire financial plight, the truth about this overblown flu, the true facts about the Russiagate coup attempt against Trump, and now the massive Joe Biden/Hunter Biden corruption scandal coverup, has taken on a new level of malevolence and deceitfulness. The duplicitous nature of the measures taken by the social media tyrants to control the narrative and dictate what the people must believe will climax in a violent response by those unwilling to accept their plot to overthrow the government and shredding of the U.S. Constitution.
We are now living in a world where so called “experts” declare the science is settled regarding the spread of Covid, the efficacy of masks, the need for lockdowns to slow the spread, the requirement for a vaccine to cure Covid, the danger of HCQ, the fallacy of herd immunity and the fact we will never return to normal again. If anyone dares to question the approved Covid narrative, they will be attacked by MSM talking heads, de-platformed by Twitter and Facebook, called a murderer by the thousands of Karens patrolling social media, and possibly lose their jobs. When straight talking brilliant doctors, like Dr. Scott Atlas, use facts to blow up the approved narrative, he is attacked by the MSM and social media hyenas. Facts don’t matter when fear is the preferred method of herding a nation of sheep.
Even though 99.7% of those who contract Covid will not die, with most not even knowing they had it, the pandemic promoters (Gates, Big Pharma, Trump haters, Democrats, Left-wing media) continue to exaggerate the threat and scare a country into a Depression. This coordinated charade has been instituted as a cash grab by the ruling oligarchy, a coverup for the Fed rescuing a collapsing financial system, and an effort to dispose of Trump after the failed impeachment coup.
Even though, prior to this engineered pandemic, CDC documentation unequivocally declared masks useless in stopping the spread of viruses and numerous other studies by respected institutions confirmed this conclusion (you know – science), masks (muzzles) are now required to conform to state dictate under penalty of arrest. Even though thousands of scientists and doctors have said lockdowns don’t work, politicians continue to destroy the lives of their citizens by tyrannically closing down their cities and states. For what true purpose?
Even though Hydroxychloroquine plus zinc has proven to drastically reduce the effects of Covid if taken early in the illness, costs only a few dollars per dose, has been used safely for decades in dealing with malaria, and has the support of thousands of doctors, it was declared unsafe by the health agencies controlled by Big Pharma and politically motivated health care hack bureaucrats who care more about defeating Trump than saving lives. Why support a drug that only costs a few bucks when Big Pharma can roll out treatments that cost a few thousand dollars and don’t provide better outcomes than HCQ and zinc?

The ruling oligarchs find this unacceptable, so this freedom must be wrested away from them by any means necessary.

Rather than wallowing in doom and the worst-case scenarios, we should be trying to figure out how to reorganize our nation going forward, after the billionaire oligarchs are defeated. As I was trying to go back in time to see when I wrote my first Fourth Turning article, I came across an article I wrote in 2010 – Brave New World 2010.
At the end of the article I noted the wisdom and practicality of Aldous Huxley’s advice on how to restructure our society, from his 1958 book Brave New World Revisited. This should be a template for restructuring our way of life if we want a sustainable future. I am not optimistic we have the fortitude, wisdom, courage and will to choose Huxley’s suggested path:
As recent history has repeatedly shown, the right to vote, by itself, is no guarantee of liberty. Therefore, if you wish to avoid dictatorship by referendum, break up modern society’s merely functional collectives into self-governing, voluntarily cooperating groups, capable of functioning outside the bureaucratic systems of Big Business and Big Government.
If you wish to avoid the spiritual impoverishment of individuals and whole societies, leave the metropolis and revive the small country community, or alternately humanize the metropolis by creating within its network of mechanical organization the urban equivalents of small country communities, in which individuals can meet and cooperate as complete persons, not as the mere embodiments of specialized functions.
Huxley’s prescription of re-humanizing our country and voluntarily choosing where we want to live and who we want to associate with in small enclaves is how many rural communities already function. We can either willingly choose this path peacefully, or we will be left with this as our only option after our modern world self-destructs during the violent cataclysm, following the crashing of our Ponzi scheme debt saturated economic system.
The American Empire is clearly in rapid decline and may not survive the trials and tribulations over the coming decade. The Fourth Turning is not a prophecy, but should be taken as a warning and call to action. Sitting this out and hoping for the best will not help achieve a positive outcome. Tragedy or triumph – the choices we make will matter. The climax of this Fourth Turning may be a few years off, but the battle for the soul of America begins on November 3.
“History offers no guarantees. Obviously, things could go horribly wrong – the possibilities ranging from a nuclear exchange to incurable plagues, from terrorist anarchy to high-tech dictatorship. We should not assume that Providence will always exempt our nation from the irreversible tragedies that have overtaken so many others: not just temporary hardship, but debasement and total ruin. Losing in the next Fourth Turning could mean something incomparably worse. It could mean a lasting defeat from which our national innocence – perhaps even our nation – might never recover.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

lewrockwell--2020-10-23--The Left Is Coming for Christian Schools

Oh my God , Amy Coney Barrett is a believing Catholic !
The Associated Press brings the shocking news : Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett served for nearly three years on the board of private Christian schools that effectively barred admission to children of same-sex parents and made it plain that openly gay and lesbian teachers weren ’ t welcome in the classroom .
The policies that discriminated against LGBTQ people and their children were in place for years at Trinity Schools Inc. , both before Barrett joined the board in 2015 and during the time she served .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Minnesota and Virginia , are affiliated with People of Praise , an insular community rooted in its own interpretation of the Bible , of which Barrett and her husband have been longtime members .
At least three of the couple ’ s seven children have attended the Trinity School at Greenlawn , in South Bend , Indiana .
Live Not by Lies : A Ma ... Dreher , Rod Best Price : $ 17.49 Buy New $ 17.99 The AP spoke with more than two dozen people who attended or worked at Trinity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Praise .
They said the community ’ s teachings have been consistent for decades : Homosexuality is an abomination against God , sex should occur only within marriage and marriage should only be between a man and a woman .
Interviewees told the AP that Trinity ’ s leadership communicated anti-LGBTQ policies and positions in meetings , one-on-one conversations , enrollment agreements , employment agreements , handbooks and written policies — including those in place when Barrett was an active member of the board .
Let me explain something to the Associated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Roman Catholic Church , and it teaches that marriage is only between one man and one woman .
It also teaches that sex outside of a lawful marriage is sinful .
It teaches that homosexual acts are sinful .
It has done this for almost 2,000 years .
This is not what liberals believe today — and not just liberals .
Many people who identify as conservative have shed the historic Christian teaching about homosexuality .
Today comes news that Pope Francis has endorsed civil unions for LGBT people .
Even so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teaching about homosexuality and marriage has changed .
Still , yes , we have to acknowledged that society at large has changed decisively on this issue .
Ours is a post-Christian society , in that most people in it do not understand the Bible as the story by which they live their lives .

She doesn ’ t think gays are icky , or anything like that .
Her personal and professional life would be easier if she simply accepted what the world now believes .
But she tries to be intellectually honest , and she knows that one can not simply throw aside an authoritative Biblical teaching because it doesn ’ t suit contemporary cultural beliefs .
A believer — certainly a faithful Catholic or Orthodox — is bound to submit to these teachings whether or not she understands them or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Truth is objective , though it must be subjectively appropriated and lived out .
A number of Catholics are really members of the Church of What ’ s Happening Now , and they ’ ve enjoyed lucrative careers because of it ; Amy Coney Barrett is not one of them .
If she is confirmed as a Supreme Court justice , it will be despite the fact that people like these AP reporters tried to tear her down for her fidelity to her Church ’ s teaching .
Look at the way this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people interviewed for this story are gay or said they have gay family members .
They used words such as “ terrified , ” “ petrified ” and “ frightening ” to describe the prospect of Barrett on the high court .
Some of them know Barrett , have mutual friends with her or even have been in her home dozens of times .
They describe her as “ nice ” or “ a kind person , ” but told the AP they feared others would suffer if Barrett tries to implement People @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the Supreme Court .

But the thought of Barrett sitting on the Supreme Court scares her .
“ I am deeply concerned about my queer friends .

But some of us still do. Amy Coney Barrett is one of them. If she is anything like me, she bears no ill will towards gays and lesbians, and counts some as friends. She doesn’t think gays are icky, or anything like that. Her personal and professional life would be easier if she simply accepted what the world now believes. But she tries to be intellectually honest, and she knows that one cannot simply throw aside an authoritative Biblical teaching because it doesn’t suit contemporary cultural beliefs. A believer — certainly a faithful Catholic or Orthodox — is bound to submit to these teachings whether or not she understands them or wishes they weren’t there. Truth is objective, though it must be subjectively appropriated and lived out. A number of Catholics are really members of the Church of What’s Happening Now, and they’ve enjoyed lucrative careers because of it; Amy Coney Barrett is not one of them. If she is confirmed as a Supreme Court justice, it will be despite the fact that people like these AP reporters tried to tear her down for her fidelity to her Church’s teaching.
Look at the way this AP story reads:
Nearly all the people interviewed for this story are gay or said they have gay family members. They used words such as “terrified,” “petrified” and “frightening” to describe the prospect of Barrett on the high court. Some of them know Barrett, have mutual friends with her or even have been in her home dozens of times. They describe her as “nice” or “a kind person,” but told the AP they feared others would suffer if Barrett tries to implement People of Praise’s views on homosexuality on the Supreme Court.

More:
Turpin-King said she has briefly met Barrett, and they share mutual friends. Some of her husband’s family members are still members of the People of Praise community, and she loves and respects them. Many of Trinity’s teachers were wonderful to her. But the thought of Barrett sitting on the Supreme Court scares her. “I am deeply concerned about my queer friends. I’m concerned about my own children,” Turpin-King said. “From what I experienced in People of Praise, as a student of one of their schools, everyone needs to be petrified, frankly.”
Everyone! There is not the slightest attempt in this long story to explain why the Catholic Church believes what it does, just to give the other side, and to give readers context for why People of Praise has the policies it does. The reporters know what they’re doing here. They called a well-known left-wing Catholic historian at Villanova, who helped paint a picture of People of Praise as cranky weirdos outside the Church’s mainstream.

Those of us who’ve been around awhile have come to notice a similar pattern when it comes to every other scandal involving Democrats. So here, as a reader service, is a handy media guide to how the press covers — or more appropriately, covers up — Democratic scandals.
1. Ignore the story as long as possible. The first step in reporing a Democratic scandal is to not cover it at all. Keep it contained among bloggers and the conservative press in hopes that it doesn’t go anywhere. A perfect example of this was the Biden town hall held right after the Post story broke during which ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked Biden zero questions about the report.
2. Devote minimal resources to covering it. When ignoring the story isn’t a possibility, devote minimal resources to it. By all means, don’t assign investigative reporters to cover it, lest they dig up something else. The mainstream press initially justified its lack of coverage of the substance of the Post report by claiming that it hadn’t verified the story. That’s easy to do when you don’t lift a finger to actually verify it. As the Post wrote in an editorial: “Don’t ask too many questions, and you can dismiss it all as ‘unverified.’ ”
3. Focus on the denials. The first story in Politico about the Post story was “Biden campaign lashes out at the New York Post.” The Times’ headline was “Allegation on Biden Prompts Pushback From Social Media Companies.”
