Dead Lives Matter

The spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus is not a pandemic , it is the biggest crime in human history , since Cain killed Abel and reduced the human population by a quarter .
And there is no world police force to stop this ongoing felony .
At least not yet .
The intentional spread of a man-mutated coronavirus has a covert objective – – to involve the entire world in an exercise through panic and fear to “ cultivate a sense of global community.
” It is what the globalists call the Great Reset .
The usual suspects are behind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ International Monetary Fund , the CIA , Mastercard , Microsoft , bankers , billionaire oligarchs and many billion-dollar corporations , who seek to rule the world economically via a global currency , using mind control and fear , and something called transhumanism where the human mind is melded with AI ( automated intelligence ) .
Corporations dare not enter this worldwide scheme or be frozen out .
Bully Tools 82515 14-G ... Best Price : $ 71.00 Buy New $ 46.48 The globalists will let nothing stand in the way of their objectives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and culture , antiquate and replace religion via technology ( immortality via AI ) , eliminate free enterprise , and destroy the economies of the world and individual livelihoods in order to coerce the world to beg for relief , for vaccines and a global currency , via a single world governance led by arrogant unelected elites whose godless technocratic , transhuman world view will be forced on 7.8 billion souls , or else you or your kids will be taken to quarantine camps .
So quickly the fear of God has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What is so unexpected is the almost universal voluntary compliance with this out-in-the-open overthrow of modern society operating under the banner of equality .
The masses have largely volunteered to comply .
Now the poorest people in the world will have an equity card that will give them use of a digital currency that is equal in value to all other world currencies .
Take a gander at the value of various world currencies : the Bully Tools 92309 12-G ... Best Price : $ 64.00 Buy New $ 35.97 These currency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by demand .
Low demand = low value .
If a buyer wants to purchase $ 100 US dollars of pencils from Mexico that would equal 2,133.4 pesos .
The differences in these values are called exchange rates .
Currently the world uses the US dollar as the exchange rate for all foreign transactions , making the US dollar by practice the most in demand .
In the name of financial equality , the Constitution was trashed With a global currency every currency would be equal .
The value of the US dollar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goods would cost more .
With the new global currency everybody will be playing with the same money value .
Sounds great , doesn ’ t it ?
Then international companies can do business without having to convert currencies into dollars and a guy in India can directly buy something made in Canada without having to do a wire transfer .
Robotics will be ushered in As robotics takes over , a guaranteed income will likely follow , since that is the way to totally control the world .
But then Gross Domestic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not productivity .
People will learn not to work or just pretend to work .
The AI-driven robots will do all the repetitive work cheaper than any human labor .
Then the US doesn ’ t need to export its jobs to China any longer .
But robots only make unemployment worse , not better .
The generation of people who are most attracted to this scheme , particularly the poor who can only hope a lottery ticket will bring them out of poverty , never heard Sir Winston Churchill say this : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the unequal sharing of its blessings ; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
” It was Ronald Reagan in 1967 who said at his inaugural address : “ Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction.
” Parents in America naively sent their high school graduates to universities that teach Marxist socialism .
Bernie Sanders became their hero , their only hope .
Young students can ’ t see they have been groomed .
Now there will be no hope of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won ’ t be abjectly poor , your overseers will provide subsistence , but no freedom , no opportunity .
You become a slave , never an entrepreneur .
The US Constitution will soon be considered a relic .
Bully Tools 92353 12-G ... Best Price : $ 81.00 Buy New $ 38.99 When TV does the thinking for people The world is so slow to catch on .
That is because the conscience of the world , the script by which mankind operates , is being provided by the news media .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is filling in the blanks for the confused , the global news media that ridicules those who resist vaccination , that does the bidding for the banksters who are at the center of this confusion .
By social distancing , wearing masks , locking down indoors , the populations of the world will feel the “ same connectedness , ” so we are told .
People don ’ t know what to think of this .
It is beyond their comprehension .
They let the TV news reporters do the thinking for them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , right ?
No !
No one can imagine the fires that were lit in rural Australia and California were targeted to burn down the political opposition and drive human populations into metropolises where their minds are more easily controlled .
Some say these fires were started by directed energy weapons .
The complete devastation of the burned homes in these fires without burnt surroundings was unusual .
Fires burned the California forest in swathes , like an aimed weapon .
California is broke .
Unlike countries that can print more money , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ companies to release funds to rebuild , raising employment and property values .
Turn the masses against each other Turning humans against each other by exploiting racial divides keeps the masses from mounting a push-back against the real instigators of this crime – – the intelligentsia in Europe and the billionaire oligarchs that operate above the law and agencies within US government as well as NGOs ( non-government orgs ) like the UN that wants to bring down democracy and free enterprise , agencies that despise free market competition , a platform that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 92312 Leaf ... Buy New $ 42.99 Then politicians say they will over-tax the mega-wealthy and no one will catch on that the billionaires now have a legal way to kickback to government via taxes and control legislatures .
A kickback has now become a tax .
The elites want to solidify their dominance The world will be run on their terms – – the bankers , oligarchs , NGOs .
The super wealthy families meet at Davos and the Bilderberg meeting so they can obtain advance information how to maintain their wealth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dominance .
They have learned to create the future rather than letting it happen .
Now 90 % of the wealth in the world is owned by a few .
Now they want to create their own reality , and cull part of the world ’ s population in doing that , particularly the 80+year-olds who are such a drain in medical and retirement costs that life insurance companies actuaries want to eliminate .
We must die on time .
Forget longevity pills .
They are not good for the life insurance business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to impoverish it .
There can be no middle class .
Then offer the masses a little bit of security in the form of a guaranteed income , delivered by a digital currency that is individually transported in a currency card .
If all of this is so advantageous , why is it covertly being ushered in under the guise of an infectious disease pandemic ?
The poor will clamor for change It is so vast a crime that the many billions of poor souls ( three-fourths of the human population on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day , and another three-quarters of a billion who are illiterate ) , who rely on electronic information as their primary source of information , and can ’ t imagine it is all disinformation .
It is obvious even the educated are easily deceived .
In regard to a covert takeover of a country , in 1984 Ex-KGB agent Yir Bezmenov said : O-Cedar Professional 2 ... Buy New $ 23.00 “ We change the perception of reality of very American , to such an extent that despite their abundance of information , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves , their family , their community or their country.
” Bezmenov went on to say there are four stages of a takeover : 1 ) demoralization , 2 ) destabilization , 3 ) crisis ( where we are now ) and finally 4 ) normalization , what the masses clamor for now .
“ You will have nowhere to defect to , ” said Bezmenov .
Are the globalists really filling in a vacuum by offering global governance ?
The World Economic Forum ( WEC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ established in 1971 , laments there is no global governance .
The WEC works in league with the World Health Organization – their dual logos can be seen on certain public health reports and both orgs have conducted combined press conferences .
Corporations have joined hands with WEC and WHO to raise funds to vaccinate the world against COVID-19 coronavirus .
This isn ’ t global governance , it is global tyranny .
This tripart group stirred up global panic – when there were only 4300 deaths from COVID-19 in March of 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responders to this planetary health emergency .
The patients have taken over the asylum These are the same non-governmental agencies ( NGOs ) that have brazenly offered advice how to cope with the stress of an alleged deadly virus for which there is no effective treatment or vaccine , or at least that is what they are telling the world .
Sadly , their advice to lockdown is reported to have resulted in more suicides than deaths from the COVID-19 virus .
Would you go to a psychiatrist whose advice produced a track @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Have you heard of the calamity in Peru ?
No , you haven ’ t .
That is a country that methodically carried out the World Health Organization ’ s toughest lockdown measures and it resulted in the world ’ s highest COVID-19 death toll .
Oh , the news media is covering for the WHO .
Meanwhile neighboring Brazil with its relaxed policies towards the virus was widely criticized in the news press , but had a far lower death rate .
“ For months on end , Peruvians were largely forbidden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporter Jordan Schachtel .
Peru even enforced curfews .
And as of the first week in September 2020 , Schachtel says Peru is “ doubling down on the madness.
” It is what you are not hearing that is so troublesome .
And The New York Times dared to declare Peru a “ success story.
” And you , Mr. and Mrs .
Indecisive who now has occasion to read about all this planned mayhem .
What don ’ t you understand about the obvious ?
A hard lockdown is how frail elderly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after day , deprived of the sunshine vitamin D that could save their lives .
Johan Giesecke of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm writes in THE LANCET : “ A hard lockdown does not protect old and frail people living in care homes , a population the lockdown was designed to protect .
In fact , lockdowns only push severe cases into the future , it will not prevent them.
” Slow murder , like in the movie Arsenic and Old Lace , is difficult to prove .
This is what is unfolding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your eyes can see on television .
We knew it was inevitably going to happen , so we prepared for it .
Ya , sure .
Globalists are behind the scenes promoters of the called pandemic and pose themselves as the cure for it as well .
Just by happenstance , they tell us , the WEC/Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored the scripted EVENT 201 pandemic exercise , held October 18 , 2019 , at the Johns Hopkins Center For Health Security ( actually just front orgs for Gates and WEF ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started in China with a laboratory enhanced ( gain-of-function ) coronavirus that started in North Carolina and due to restrictions , further research was delegated to a lab in Wuhan , China , so China would take the blame .
The world was told no one on the planet had immunity to this newly mutated virus that targets 80+ year-olds , the very population that costs governments the most money in medical and pension budgets .
Now we learn many people have pre-existing immunity against COVID-19 coronavirus .
What a way to cull @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insurance companies and take so many people off the Social Security and Medicare roles in one fell swoop .
Various virologists of renown ( by name , Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier , Professor Nikolai Petrovsky of Australia who remarks how COVID-19 is so perfectly adapted to infect humans ) say COVID-19 is man-made .
The virus may have even been pre-tested in some human environments prior to its initial outbreak in Wuhan .
No , COVID-19 is not a bat virus , it is an evil batman virus .
If COVID-19 mutated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many lies surround it , like death numbers and infection stats ?
Where did COVID-19 come from ?
It takes some sleuthing work on the lines of Sherlock Holmes to figure out where COVID-19 came from .
A case of “ mysterious pneumonia ” in the U.S. in the summer of 2019 occurred in North Carolina was associated with a patient ’ s practice of vaping .
A supercomputer in China suggested a high probability that this was “ patient zero.

This author is not the originator of this information .
Others came to similar conclusions .
Sure , we can trust China .
Who was US-patient zero ?
COVID-19 coronavirus erupted in late November of 2019 .
“ Patient zero ” may have been in Toledo , Ohio as a March 2018 report in Clinical Respiratory Journal indicates .
Five patients had been diagnosed at a hospital in Raleigh , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time .
That is near the aforementioned gain-of-function laboratory .
In retrospect , a high number of patients listed a dry cough as their chief complaint to doctors in Los Angeles as early as December 2020 .
Oh , there may be a Wuhan , China laboratory connection .
A Hong Kong University-based virologist says COVID-19 has a unique fingerprint .
She says it is man-made .
But it didn ’ t first fly to America via Wuhan , China as reported .
It was reportedly sent to Wuhan from a lab in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US : vaping deaths preceded COVID-19 Independent reporter Nathan Rich adds to the intrigue with his chilling YouTube report linking a coronavirus research contract at Ft. Detrick , Maryland , which was shut down by the FDA at the same time vaping-related pneumonia cases were reported .
Vaping lung disease and COVID-19-induced pneumonia are indistinguishable .
Was a coronavirus inadvertently or intentionally released in the US ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak in November-December 2019 ?
Was a contract initiated for a lab in China to conduct viral enhancement studies , to blame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military games event in Wuhan may have served to spread the virus from the US to China .
An outbreak of vaping-associated lung disease had been reported by public health authorities and in the news media .
US health authorities denied these cases of pneumonia were COVID-19 .
Smoking elevates an enzyme receptor on lung cells ( angiotensin-converting enzyme 2-receptor which is an adhesion site for the COVID-19 coronavirus .
If a biological terrorist wanted to get a pandemic going , the most logical way would be to directly seed the virus into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 smoke-free vaping was preferred over nicotine-tobacco smoking to minimize lung/health risks .
Three-quarters of all the e-cigarettes sold in the US emanate from one manufacturer .
Was COVID-19 laced into vaping products ?
Lung diseases from vaping began to be reported in 2019 and more than 450 illnesses linked to the use of these e-cigarettes were reported as of September 6 , 2019 .
Electronic cigarettes had been introduced in the US in 2006-07 and were reported to be more effective than traditional smoking cessation practices in the BMC Public Health journal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was presumably added to vaping materials .
The US Congress sought to ban vaping without asking why it was relatively safe for many years .
The dead bodies serve as evidence .
There is more than suspicion that what we are seeing on television is a massacre , a slaughter of the most vulnerable in our society .
When governors intentionally discharge hospitalized COVID-19-positive patients into nursing homes , what would you call this ?
Like in the table game of CLUE , we are piecing together the evidence .
Must I come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The linked evidence presented in this report is yours to fact check and evaluate .
I ’ m dropping my gavel .
By any definition , this is murder .
The fingerprints are all over the planet .
They perpetrators left their initials all over the planet : B.G , A.F.
, G.S .
Sherlock Holmes wouldn ’ t even need his magnifying glass to find the same fingerprints of this international crime ring in every country in the world .
How much more evidence do you need ?
Ah , I understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ York Times tell you it ’ s M-U-R-D-E-R .
Killing with intent .
How about a game of poker ?
We each put up $ 5000 .
Smallest bet is $ 100 .
If you believe the stuff you see on TV , you wouldn ’ t even guess I have a stacked deck .
When it ’ s your own grandmother in the nursing home , ideas change .
But then they lock relatives out of the nursing homes so you can ’ t see what is going on .
You are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your grandmother , you don ’ t know how to interrogate the perpetrators , who aren ’ t at the command and control of the whole sordid operation anyway .

The intentional spread of a man-mutated coronavirus has a covert objective – – to involve the entire world in an exercise through panic and fear to “cultivate a sense of global community.” It is what the globalists call the Great Reset.

Ruthlessness
The globalists will let nothing stand in the way of their objectives, to eradicate borders, erase history and culture, antiquate and replace religion via technology (immortality via AI), eliminate free enterprise, and destroy the economies of the world and individual livelihoods in order to coerce the world to beg for relief, for vaccines and a global currency, via a single world governance led by arrogant unelected elites whose godless technocratic, transhuman world view will be forced on 7.8 billion souls, or else you or your kids will be taken to quarantine camps.
So quickly the fear of God has been replaced by the instilled fear of COVID. What is so unexpected is the almost universal voluntary compliance with this out-in-the-open overthrow of modern society operating under the banner of equality. The masses have largely volunteered to comply.
Fooled by the equity card
Now the poorest people in the world will have an equity card that will give them use of a digital currency that is equal in value to all other world currencies.
Take a gander at the value of various world currencies: the
Indian rupee: worth 1.3-cents
Japanese yen – 9/10ths of a penny
Argentine peso 1.3-cents
Mexican peso 4.6-cents
Kuwaiti dinar $3.26;
Chinese renminbi 14.6-cents.

Currently the world uses the US dollar as the exchange rate for all foreign transactions, making the US dollar by practice the most in demand.
In the name of financial equality, the Constitution was trashed
With a global currency every currency would be equal. The value of the US dollar would decline in foreign trade. Imported goods would cost more. With the new global currency everybody will be playing with the same money value. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Then international companies can do business without having to convert currencies into dollars and a guy in India can directly buy something made in Canada without having to do a wire transfer.
Robotics will be ushered in
As robotics takes over, a guaranteed income will likely follow, since that is the way to totally control the world. But then Gross Domestic Product is a measure of welfare, not productivity. People will learn not to work or just pretend to work. The AI-driven robots will do all the repetitive work cheaper than any human labor. Then the US doesn’t need to export its jobs to China any longer. But robots only make unemployment worse, not better.
Generational naivety
The generation of people who are most attracted to this scheme, particularly the poor who can only hope a lottery ticket will bring them out of poverty, never heard Sir Winston Churchill say this:
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of its blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”
It was Ronald Reagan in 1967 who said at his inaugural address: “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Parents in America naively sent their high school graduates to universities that teach Marxist socialism. Bernie Sanders became their hero, their only hope. Young students can’t see they have been groomed.
Now there will be no hope of rising up out of poverty. You won’t be abjectly poor, your overseers will provide subsistence, but no freedom, no opportunity. You become a slave, never an entrepreneur.

When TV does the thinking for people
The world is so slow to catch on. That is because the conscience of the world, the script by which mankind operates, is being provided by the news media. It is the global news media that is filling in the blanks for the confused, the global news media that ridicules those who resist vaccination, that does the bidding for the banksters who are at the center of this confusion.
By social distancing, wearing masks, locking down indoors, the populations of the world will feel the “same connectedness,” so we are told.
People don’t know what to think of this. It is beyond their comprehension. They let the TV news reporters do the thinking for them. It’s about a virus, right? No!
Burning down the political opposition
No one can imagine the fires that were lit in rural Australia and California were targeted to burn down the political opposition and drive human populations into metropolises where their minds are more easily controlled.
Some say these fires were started by directed energy weapons. The complete devastation of the burned homes in these fires without burnt surroundings was unusual. Fires burned the California forest in swathes, like an aimed weapon. California is broke. Unlike countries that can print more money, states cannot. Fires force insurance companies to release funds to rebuild, raising employment and property values.
Turn the masses against each other
Turning humans against each other by exploiting racial divides keeps the masses from mounting a push-back against the real instigators of this crime – – the intelligentsia in Europe and the billionaire oligarchs that operate above the law and agencies within US government as well as NGOs (non-government orgs) like the UN that wants to bring down democracy and free enterprise, agencies that despise free market competition, a platform that ironically earned oligarchs billions.

The elites want to solidify their dominance
The world will be run on their terms – – the bankers, oligarchs, NGOs.
The super wealthy families meet at Davos and the Bilderberg meeting so they can obtain advance information how to maintain their wealth and abolish any competitive threat to their dominance. They have learned to create the future rather than letting it happen.
Now 90% of the wealth in the world is owned by a few.

We must die on time. Forget longevity pills. They are not good for the life insurance business.
No middle class
The way to subdue the world is to impoverish it. There can be no middle class. Then offer the masses a little bit of security in the form of a guaranteed income, delivered by a digital currency that is individually transported in a currency card.
If all of this is so advantageous, why is it covertly being ushered in under the guise of an infectious disease pandemic?
The poor will clamor for change
It is so vast a crime that the many billions of poor souls (three-fourths of the human population on earth earn less than $10 a day, and another three-quarters of a billion who are illiterate), who rely on electronic information as their primary source of information, and can’t imagine it is all disinformation.

Are the globalists really filling in a vacuum by offering global governance?
The World Economic Forum (WEC), a so-called independent international organization established in 1971, laments there is no global governance. The WEC works in league with the World Health Organization – their dual logos can be seen on certain public health reports and both orgs have conducted combined press conferences. Corporations have joined hands with WEC and WHO to raise funds to vaccinate the world against COVID-19 coronavirus. This isn’t global governance, it is global tyranny.
This tripart group stirred up global panic – when there were only 4300 deaths from COVID-19 in March of 2020 they were claiming themselves as first global responders to this planetary health emergency.
The patients have taken over the asylum
These are the same non-governmental agencies (NGOs) that have brazenly offered advice how to cope with the stress of an alleged deadly virus for which there is no effective treatment or vaccine, or at least that is what they are telling the world. Sadly, their advice to lockdown is reported to have resulted in more suicides than deaths from the COVID-19 virus. Would you go to a psychiatrist whose advice produced a track record of death of his clients?
None dare call this murder
Have you heard of the calamity in Peru? No, you haven’t. That is a country that methodically carried out the World Health Organization’s toughest lockdown measures and it resulted in the world’s highest COVID-19 death toll.
Oh, the news media is covering for the WHO. Meanwhile neighboring Brazil with its relaxed policies towards the virus was widely criticized in the news press, but had a far lower death rate.
“For months on end, Peruvians were largely forbidden from leaving their homes,” says reporter Jordan Schachtel. Peru even enforced curfews. And as of the first week in September 2020, Schachtel says Peru is “doubling down on the madness.”
It is what you are not hearing that is so troublesome. And The New York Times dared to declare Peru a “success story.”
And you, Mr. and Mrs. Indecisive who now has occasion to read about all this planned mayhem. What don’t you understand about the obvious?
A hard lockdown is how frail elderly people in nursing homes already live day after day, deprived of the sunshine vitamin D that could save their lives. Johan Giesecke of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm writes in THE LANCET:
“A hard lockdown does not protect old and frail people living in care homes, a population the lockdown was designed to protect. In fact, lockdowns only push severe cases into the future, it will not prevent them.”
Slow murder, like in the movie Arsenic and Old Lace, is difficult to prove. This is what is unfolding silently around the world, beyond what your eyes can see on television.
We knew it was inevitably going to happen, so we prepared for it. Ya, sure.
Globalists are behind the scenes promoters of the called pandemic and pose themselves as the cure for it as well.
Just by happenstance, they tell us, the WEC/Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored the scripted EVENT 201 pandemic exercise, held October 18, 2019, at the Johns Hopkins Center For Health Security (actually just front orgs for Gates and WEF) and a global pandemic suddenly and unexpectedly started in China with a laboratory enhanced (gain-of-function) coronavirus that started in North Carolina and due to restrictions, further research was delegated to a lab in Wuhan, China, so China would take the blame.
The world was told no one on the planet had immunity to this newly mutated virus that targets 80+ year-olds, the very population that costs governments the most money in medical and pension budgets.
Now we learn many people have pre-existing immunity against COVID-19 coronavirus. What a way to cull longevinarians and improve the profits of life insurance companies and take so many people off the Social Security and Medicare roles in one fell swoop.
It’s a man-made virus
Various virologists of renown (by name, Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier, Professor Nikolai Petrovsky of Australia who remarks how COVID-19 is so perfectly adapted to infect humans) say COVID-19 is man-made.
The virus may have even been pre-tested in some human environments prior to its initial outbreak in Wuhan. No, COVID-19 is not a bat virus, it is an evil batman virus. If COVID-19 mutated by chance, then why do so many lies surround it, like death numbers and infection stats?
Where did COVID-19 come from?
It takes some sleuthing work on the lines of Sherlock Holmes to figure out where COVID-19 came from.
A case of “mysterious pneumonia” in the U.S. in the summer of 2019 occurred in North Carolina was associated with a patient’s practice of vaping. A supercomputer in China suggested a high probability that this was “patient zero.”
A university in North Carolina was where gain-of-function experiments with coronaviruses were taking place. Despite denials, when US restrictions on such research was halted, a lab in China was commissioned and received funds to complete the work. This author is not the originator of this information. Others came to similar conclusions. Sure, we can trust China.
Who was US-patient zero?
COVID-19 coronavirus erupted in late November of 2019. “Patient zero” may have been in Toledo, Ohio as a March 2018 report in Clinical Respiratory Journal indicates. Five patients had been diagnosed at a hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina, at about the same time. That is near the aforementioned gain-of-function laboratory. In retrospect, a high number of patients listed a dry cough as their chief complaint to doctors in Los Angeles as early as December 2020.
Oh, there may be a Wuhan, China laboratory connection. A Hong Kong University-based virologist says COVID-19 has a unique fingerprint. She says it is man-made. But it didn’t first fly to America via Wuhan, China as reported. It was reportedly sent to Wuhan from a lab in North Carolina.
Intrigue between China and the US: vaping deaths preceded COVID-19
Independent reporter Nathan Rich adds to the intrigue with his chilling YouTube report linking a coronavirus research contract at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, which was shut down by the FDA at the same time vaping-related pneumonia cases were reported. Vaping lung disease and COVID-19-induced pneumonia are indistinguishable.
Was a coronavirus inadvertently or intentionally released in the US ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak in November-December 2019?
Was a contract initiated for a lab in China to conduct viral enhancement studies, to blame China for the outbreak? A worldwide military games event in Wuhan may have served to spread the virus from the US to China.
An outbreak of vaping-associated lung disease had been reported by public health authorities and in the news media. US health authorities denied these cases of pneumonia were COVID-19. Smoking elevates an enzyme receptor on lung cells (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2-receptor which is an adhesion site for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
If a biological terrorist wanted to get a pandemic going, the most logical way would be to directly seed the virus into the lungs of vapers.
Back in 2016 smoke-free vaping was preferred over nicotine-tobacco smoking to minimize lung/health risks. Three-quarters of all the e-cigarettes sold in the US emanate from one manufacturer. Was COVID-19 laced into vaping products?
Lung diseases from vaping began to be reported in 2019 and more than 450 illnesses linked to the use of these e-cigarettes were reported as of September 6, 2019. Electronic cigarettes had been introduced in the US in 2006-07 and were reported to be more effective than traditional smoking cessation practices in the BMC Public Health journal in 2011. So, something toxic was presumably added to vaping materials. The US Congress sought to ban vaping without asking why it was relatively safe for many years.
Evidence/ verdict
The dead bodies serve as evidence. There is more than suspicion that what we are seeing on television is a massacre, a slaughter of the most vulnerable in our society. When governors intentionally discharge hospitalized COVID-19-positive patients into nursing homes, what would you call this?
Like in the table game of CLUE, we are piecing together the evidence. Must I come to a sordid conclusion for you? The linked evidence presented in this report is yours to fact check and evaluate.
I’m dropping my gavel. By any definition, this is murder. The fingerprints are all over the planet. They perpetrators left their initials all over the planet: B.G, A.F., G.S. Sherlock Holmes wouldn’t even need his magnifying glass to find the same fingerprints of this international crime ring in every country in the world. How much more evidence do you need?
Ah, I understand. When Time Magazine and The New York Times tell you it’s M-U-R-D-E-R. Killing with intent.
How about a game of poker? We each put up $5000. Smallest bet is $100. If you believe the stuff you see on TV, you wouldn’t even guess I have a stacked deck.
When it’s your own grandmother in the nursing home, ideas change. But then they lock relatives out of the nursing homes so you can’t see what is going on. You are so grieved over the premature loss of your grandmother, you don’t know how to interrogate the perpetrators, who aren’t at the command and control of the whole sordid operation anyway.

Federal spending is unlikely to be reduced no matter who wins the presidential election. Former Vice President Joe Biden has proposed increasing spending on everything from Obamacare to militarism to “green” cronyism. Yet some progressives are attacking Biden for being to “stingy” in his spending proposals. Even more distressing is how few progressives are critical of Biden’s support for increasing the military budget.
With some notable exceptions, such as his infrastructure plan, President Trump is not proposing any massive new spending programs. However, he Is not promising to stop increasing, much less cut, federal spending.
Most Republicans have abandoned their Obama-era opposition to deficit spending to support President Trump’s spending increases. This repeats a pattern where Republicans oppose deficit spending under a Democrat president but decide that “deficits don’t matter” when a Republican is sitting in the Oval Office. If Biden wins in November, Republicans will likely once again discover that deficits do matter, especially if Democrats also gain control of the Senate.

Government spending forcibly takes resources from the private sector, where they are used to produce goods and services desired by consumers, and puts them in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats. This distorts the market, reducing efficiency and lowering the people’s standard of living. This, combined with pressure to monetize the federal debt, causes the Federal Reserve to pump money into the economy leading to a boom-bust business cycle.
Unless Congress begins reducing spending, the coming economic crisis will be even worse. The logical place to start cutting spending is ending all unnecessary overseas commitments, corporate welfare, and shuttling down all unconstitutional federal agencies — starting with the Department of Education.
The savings from these cuts can be used to start paying down debt and providing for those truly dependent on the current system while we transition away from the welfare state. Private charities, including ones run by religious organizations, are better than government bureaucracies at providing effective and compassionate aid to those in need.
Most politicians will not vote to curtail the welfare-warfare state unless their constituents demand it. The people will not demand an end to big government as long as so many believe that the government has a moral responsibility to, and is capable of, providing them with economic and personal security.
Therefore, our priority must be on getting people to reject the entitlement mentality and embrace the philosophy of liberty and personal responsibility. This will enable us to build a movement capable of convincing politicians to stop voting for more spending and debt and instead vote to respect the Constitutional limitations on government in all areas.

A Tale of Two Mass Gatherings: Sturgis ‘Super Spreader’ Bike Rally vs. Black Lives Matter ‘Fiery but Mostly Peaceful’ Protests

Judging by the way the media and medical authorities are reprimanding public events organized by right-leaning organizations , it appears beyond doubt that the coronavirus outbreak is being used as a political weapon to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election .
In early August , an estimated 460,000 motorcyclists took part in the annual pilgrimage to South Dakota .
The Sturgis Biker Rally , which has been a major draw since 1938 , is a 10-day event that generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue , much of it made on alcohol-fueled fun and revelry .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would say , the ideal conditions for a deadly virus to sweep through a broad swath of the population , leaving behind incalculable loss of life in its wake .
So now that the coronavirus has surpassed its Sturgis incubation period , how many reckless bikers lost their lives for not honoring social-distancing protocols at crowded hotspots for multiple days and nights on end ?
You may want to have a seat , this will shock you .
The current death rate stands at just one ( 1 ) person .

I repeat , $ 12.2 billion dollars all on a single Covid-related fatality .
While not denying that all lives matter , that seems a bit over the top .
So how did it happen ?
Well , the authors of the study , using the latest location-tracking technology from SafeGraph Inc. , received a digital readout of bikers congregating in Sturgis before getting back on their Harleys and taking their viral stowaways on a joyride around the country ; a bit like the Black Death teaming up with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ combination , the researchers say , accounted for 266,796 new cases of Covid-19 .
At this point , however , the authors take some real liberties with the figures .

In other words , the assumption is made that all of the 266,796 individuals who contracted the virus required lengthy hospital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illnesses .
Yet considering that the majority of people who have COVID are asymptomatic , or are able to recover at home without medical attention , the $ 12.2billion dollar price tag for the biker rally appears immediately suspicious .
Indeed , in the very next line ( page 30 , second paragraph of said study ) it is admitted that “ [ T ] his is by no means an accurate accounting of the true externality cost of the event , as it counts those who attended and were infected as part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely internalized ( i.e .

Dr. Jeffrey Klausner , a leading epidemiologist with no apparent political ax to grind , told the Daily Beast in an interview that the study ’ s estimate that the additional cases cost billions of dollars was “ absurd.

Yet that disturbing knowledge only draws further attention to the elephant in the sick room : ‘ Why are left-leaning protest groups , like Black Lives Matter and Antifa , not getting tagged as ‘ super spreader ’ events as are church gatherings , motorcycle rallies and , perhaps most tellingly , Trump rallies ?

But why ?

lewrockwell--2020-09-15--Higher Gas Mileage – No Matter What it Costs You

A court just ordered that you will pay more to use less gas .
The court did not put it quite that way , of course – courts specializing in not putting things directly , much less honestly .
Like the government – which the courts serve .
The issue at hand was whether car companies should be triple fined by the government for not “ complying ” with regulatory decrees pertaining to how many miles the cars they make can travel on a gallon of gas .
And how much higher those minimums are to be – as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ L ... Buy New $ 199.99 The mandatory minimum number of miles new cars must travel per gallon – or else – has been increasing each decade since the ’ 70s , when the government first got into the business of telling car companies how far their cars must go – and how much you ’ ll pay to get there .
These MPG mandates – and attendant fines for not meeting them – cost you in other ways , too .
They killed off large family sedans and station wagons , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which cost much more than the extincted-by-the-regs large family sedans and wagons .
For a time , trucks and SUVs were subject to lower mandatory MPG minimums by an accident of regulatory categorization – they were “ light trucks ” rather than “ passenger cars ” – and so the car industry built more of the former to satisfy the market demand for the latter , thwarted by the regs .
But the government caught up – and that ’ s why trucks and SUVs got so expensive .
They are going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very scarce .

A court just ordered that you will pay more to use less gas.
The court did not put it quite that way, of course – courts specializing in not putting things directly, much less honestly.
Like the government – which the courts serve.
The issue at hand was whether car companies should be triple fined by the government for not “complying” with regulatory decrees pertaining to how many miles the cars they make can travel on a gallon of gas. And how much higher those minimums are to be – as well as how soon. Rock Wheels Licensed L... Buy New $199.99 (as of 03:25 UTC - Details)
The mandatory minimum number of miles new cars must travel per gallon – or else – has been increasing each decade since the ’70s, when the government first got into the business of telling car companies how far their cars must go – and how much you’ll pay to get there.
These MPG mandates – and attendant fines for not meeting them – cost you in other ways, too. They killed off large family sedans and station wagons, which were replaced by large SUVs and pick-ups which cost much more than the extincted-by-the-regs large family sedans and wagons. For a time, trucks and SUVs were subject to lower mandatory MPG minimums by an accident of regulatory categorization – they were “light trucks” rather than “passenger cars” – and so the car industry built more of the former to satisfy the market demand for the latter, thwarted by the regs.
But the government caught up – and that’s why trucks and SUVs got so expensive. They are going to become largely unaffordable – and so, very scarce.
Because the mandatory minimum is back on track to almost double from what it originally was when CAFE – Corporate Average Fuel Economy – regulations were first imposed, to an average of nearly 50 miles-per-gallon by about five years from now.

A foreign policy analyst at the libertarian Charles Koch Institute and a Naval officer decorated for his service in Afghanistan, Ruger has long championed a noninterventionist foreign policy.
His nomination tends to confirm that, should Trump win a second term, his often-declared goal of extracting America from the forever wars of the Middle East, unachieved in his first term, would become a priority.
Yet, we have been here before, bringing our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan, only to send thousands back when our enemies seemed to be gaining the upper hand at the expense of the allies we left behind.
Still, this time, Trump’s withdrawals look to be irreversible. And with the U.S. deal with the Taliban producing peace negotiations between the Kabul government and the Taliban, America seems to be saying to both sides of this endless civil war:
The destiny of Afghanistan is yours. The choice of war or peace is up to you. If talks collapse and a fight to the finish ensues, we Americans are not coming back, even to prevent a Taliban victory.
Speaking in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Trump made a remarkable declaration:
“We don’t have to be in the Middle East, other than we want to protect Israel. … There was a time we needed desperately oil, we don’t need that anymore.” If Trump means what he says, U.S. forces will be out of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan early in his second term.
But how to explain the continued presence of tens of thousands of U.S. troops in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Diego Garcia?
Another indication of where a Trump second term is pointing is the naming of retired Col. Douglas Macgregor as ambassador to Germany.
The winner of a Bronze Star for valor in the 1991 Gulf War, Macgregor speaks German and is steeped in that country’s history. He has been highly visible on cable TV, calling for the transfer to our allies of the primary responsibility for their own defenses, and elevating the security of America’s Southern border to a far higher national imperative.
In 2019, Macgregor was quoted: “The only solution is martial law on the border, putting the United States Army in charge of it and closing it off would take about 30, 40,000 troops.

That Macgregor’s priorities may be Trump’s also became evident with the president’s announcement this summer of the withdrawal of 12,000 of the 35,000 U.S. troops stationed in Germany.
Yet, at the same time, there is seemingly contradictory evidence to the notion that Donald Trump wants our troops home. Currently, some 2,800 U.S., British, and French troops are conducting “Noble Partner” exercises with Georgian troops in that country in the Caucasus bordering Russia.
In Trump’s first term, his commitment to extricate America from the forever wars went unrealized, due in part to the resistance of hawks Trump himself appointed to carry out his foreign policy agenda.
Clearly, with the cuts in troops in Germany, Iraq and Afghanistan, and the appointments of Ruger and Macgregor, Trump has signaled a new resolve to reconfigure U.S. foreign policy in an “America First” direction, if he wins a second term. Will he follow through?
Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has been in an extended argument with itself over America’s role, America’s mission in the world.
George H. W. Bush’s New World Order is ancient history, as are the democracy crusades his son George W. Bush was persuaded to launch.
