thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-16--United Nations Propaganda Concerning COVID-19 & Coronavirus Exposed (Video)

As discussed in the Event 201 pandemic game , removing “ disinformation ” was considered , especially on social media , while making sure only legitimate information was provided .
It appears that a particular solution might be in play regarding the COVID 19 “ pandemic ” .
A video by Jerry Day , Is COVID-19 Even Real , was posted on YouTube and subsequently removed for “ violating You Tube ’ s Community Guidelines ” .
The video concerned a Global Research article , Manufactured Pandemic : Testing People for Any Strain of a Coronavirus , Not Specifically for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing , as stated in the title , is not specific to that virus .
Mr. Day went on to describe how our economic system is being devastated as a result of this “ pandemic ” .
An outfit called Health Feedback posted their own article on the same day as the Global Research article , declaring Mr. Day ’ s video and the article itself were both “ inaccurate ” , citing “ no data or information to support its claims ” as one of the reasons .
While it is true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 19 testing as faulty chose to remain anonymous , why would the article ’ s author choose to write about something so audacious ?
The answer lies in the United Nations ( UN ) and its propaganda censorship activities .
Health Feedback is a “ worldwide network of scientists sorting fact from fiction in health and medical media coverage .
Our goal is to help readers know which news to trust.
” Looking at the About link , the name changes from Health Feedback to Science Feedback .
One of its partners , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solutions to “ disinformation ” .
It just so happens that Health Feedback is “ a member of the WHO-led project Vaccine Safety Net ( VSN ) ” with Science Feedback being the “ parent organization ” to Health Feedback .
So it is only scientists from Science Feedback that have the expertise to determine what is legitimate or not , and somehow have the ability to remove , or perhaps influence removal of that information , on what they deem isn ’ t true or accurate .
The World Health Organization ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ network of websites , established by the World Health Organization , that provides reliable information on vaccine safety.
” So WHO ’ s solution to misinformation is to participate in censoring or countering any opposing information ?
It looks that way .
Why would anyone in their right mind trust any organization that threatens more “ body bags ” when challenged ?
If there was ever a clue as to how despotic this and other UN organizations are , give reason to question its motives and what really might be behind this “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words .
What exactly does he mean ?
ISD Global , in which the US Department of State is a partner , as well as the UN Development Programme ( UNDP ) , came out with its own Disinformation Briefing report that frequently referenced those who are “ right-wing ” , “ extreme right ” , promoting “ conspiracy theories ” , with many other descriptions such as bigotry and racism , recommended , “ The best answer to disinformation on health issues is to flood the information space with evidence-based accurate information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these nitwits don ’ t understand is that they themselves have posted the accurate and reliable information that validates their covert activities to manipulate the public and give a reason as to why they shouldn ’ t be trusted either .

The answer lies in the United Nations (UN) and its propaganda censorship activities. Health Feedback is a “worldwide network of scientists sorting fact from fiction in health and medical media coverage. Our goal is to help readers know which news to trust.” Looking at the About link, the name changes from Health Feedback to Science Feedback. One of its partners, Credibility Coalition, also works on finding solutions to “disinformation”.
It just so happens that Health Feedback is “a member of the WHO-led project Vaccine Safety Net (VSN)” with Science Feedback being the “parent organization” to Health Feedback. So it is only scientists from Science Feedback that have the expertise to determine what is legitimate or not, and somehow have the ability to remove, or perhaps influence removal of that information, on what they deem isn’t true or accurate.

Why would anyone in their right mind trust any organization that threatens more “body bags” when challenged? If there was ever a clue as to how despotic this and other UN organizations are, give reason to question its motives and what really might be behind this “pandemic”, it is in those words.

ISD Global, in which the US Department of State is a partner, as well as the UN Development Programme (UNDP), came out with its own Disinformation Briefing report that frequently referenced those who are “right-wing”, “extreme right”, promoting “conspiracy theories”, with many other descriptions such as bigotry and racism, recommended, “The best answer to disinformation on health issues is to flood the information space with evidence-based accurate information in digestible formats.”
What all of these nitwits don’t understand is that they themselves have posted the accurate and reliable information that validates their covert activities to manipulate the public and give a reason as to why they shouldn’t be trusted either.

This has become a controlling scam-demic. Anyone with the smallest ability to read even mainstream media’s reports of the statistics should have known that the powers that shouldn’t be are trying their hardest to induce fear to take ultimate control over our lives.
Several doctors have spoken up about how the government demanded they bump up the number of deaths by mislabeling death certificates, and more continue to speak out.

Another COVID-19 Whistleblower: A Montana Dr. Says Government Is Drastically Overstating Deaths
Dr. Scott Jensen was one of the first to speak out. In addition to saying the government is encouraging hospitals to record all deaths as COVID-19 deaths, he says they are also paying hospitals to overexaggerate the entire outbreak.
“Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much.

This is absolutely bone-chilling.
This lockdown is not in the best interests of anyone other than those issuing the orders. On a positive note, the lockdown will end when the public finally stands up and says “no. We will not obey your orders for us to lose everything.”
While people can debate the statistics all day, the truth is in the government’s reaction.

It’s time.
It’s Time To Push Back Against The Draconian Lockdowns And Tyranny
They Don’t Want You to Know the Truth Or Be Exposed To Differing Opinions
The politicians that locked us up as prisoners need to know that they don’t have the power to remove our livelihoods.
They need to know they have no power because we won’t obey their commands any longer.
Never in the history of humanity has there been such a disastrous reaction by governments over a simple viral outbreak.
We are living under the oppressive boot of tyranny and it won’t end until we all say “enough” and return to our lives.

Trump Stabs 9/11 Victims’ Families In The Back – Breaks Promise To Release “Secrets” In Saudi Lawsuit

Last September , after an oil field was bombed in Saudi Arabia , President Donald Trump tweeted that “ we are waiting to hear from the Kingdom… ” to find out “ under what terms we would proceed ” to send them our military assets .
The president of the United States admitted that he was waiting on orders to be handed down from a theocratic dictatorship in Saudi Arabia on how to use the men and women in the US armed forces .
Naturally , this prompted backlash from all sides , and for good reason .
Saudi Arabia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the world and they were behind the largest terror attack ever carried out on American soil , 9/11 .
Despite knowing that the Saudis aided and funded the terrorists who flew planes into two world trade center towers that fateful day back in 2001 , presidents George W. Bush , Barack Obama , and Donald Trump have bowed down to the dictatorial regime , quite literally .
The support the United States establishment pledges to the terrorist dictatorship in Saudi Arabia is an insult to every single person who has served , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the families of victims who lost their lives during the worst attack on US soil in the 21st century , and every free-thinking American in general .
As if Trump courting the Saudis and pledging them our Troops was not bad enough , this week , Trump reneged on his promise to release information to the 9/11 victims ’ families to support their lawsuit against Saudi Arabia for their role in the attacks .
This decision comes only months after President Trump promised to open FBI files to help families of the 9/11 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saudi government .
“ He looked us in the eye on 9/11 , he shook our hands in the White House and said , ‘ I ’ m going to help you — it ’ s done , ’ ” recalled one of those present , Brett Eagleson , a banker whose father was killed in the World Trade Center , according to ProPublica .
“ I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing .
He ’ s too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can take solace in Trump ’ s broken promises , however , because aiding the Saudis while kicking the victims ’ families in the teeth is being done in the best “ security interests ” of America .
As the Independent reports , in New York federal court filings this week , US Attorney General William Barr and intelligence director Richard Grenell invoked unprecedented claims that the documents remain state secrets , which must be locked down to “ protect the national security interests ” of the US government , despite the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case .
The filings suggest that exposing Saudi ties to the attacks could pose “ exceptionally grave damage ” to national security , the administration said , though the contents of those documents remain a mystery .
Grennell wrote that the documents contain “ highly sensitive and classified national security information concerning foreign government information , intelligence activities , sources and methods , and information concerning foreign relations and foreign activities of the United States , including confidential sources ” — all of which “ must be protected because its disclosure reasonably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” to the US , he said .
Attorney General Barr told the court that even public discussion of and justification for the documents ’ secrecy must also be kept secret , arguing that a discussion “ would reveal information that could cause the very harms my assertion of the state secrets privilege is intended to prevent.
” In other words , the ones most affected by the attacks on 9/11 must suck it up and wage their lawsuit without the aid to the United States government so America can keep in good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 9/11 continues to be revealed in larger and larger scope .
Seems legit .
“ The extraordinary lengths that they ’ re going to here suggest that there must be some deep , dark secret that they ’ re still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years , ” said a lawyer for the families , Steven Pounian .
“ But who are they protecting ?
Something might be a Saudi government secret .
But how can these be secrets that still need to be kept from the American people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ TFTP reported at the time , the lawsuit against Saudi Arabia came in 2017 , when for the first time since that fateful September morning , families of victims of the 9/11 terror attacks used a new law to go after Saudi Arabia in lawsuits for their role in the attacks .
This was after a long battle with the Obama regime and their repeated attempts to unsuccessfully stifle the suit .
After evidence was revealed during the lawsuit showing the Saudi Arabian embassy in Washington may have funded a “ dry run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two Saudi employees , Saudi Arabia went into panic mode .
In response , Saudi Arabia quickly attempted to use their pull inside the United States to have the lawsuits thrown out .
However , that attempt failed .
In 2018 Reuters reported that “ U.S .
District Judge George Daniels in Manhattan said the plaintiffs ’ allegations “ narrowly articulate a reasonable basis ” for him to assert jurisdiction over Saudi Arabia under the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act ( JASTA ) , a 2016 federal law.
” For a decade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and George W. Bush kept secret the alleged role Saudi Arabia played in the September 11 attacks on America .
Because of the cozy relationship the US has with the terrorist nation—which Trump is complicit in maintaining—special interests within the government have chosen to protect their Saudi friends instead of telling Americans the truth about what happened that tragic day .
For those who remember , Donald Trump himself used to tell people at his rallies that the Saudis were behind 9/11—a habit he quickly abandoned once he got into office .
Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protect the perpetrators instead of going after them .
While speaking with supporters at a campaign event in Bluffton , South Carolina in 2016 , then-Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said if he is elected “ you will find out who really knocked down the World Trade Center.
” Trump was referencing the fact 15 out of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia .
He also somehow had knowledge of what was in the 28 pages that would be declassified a few months later in July .
Trump went on to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secret ” which may implicate the Saudis , perhaps referencing the report discussed above .
Before he was elected , Americans did find out that the 28 pages proved the United States government knew the Saudi Arabian government had a hand in and supported the terrorists who carried out the attacks on 9/11 — and covered it up .
Fast forward to 2020 Trump and his view on Saudi Arabia has changed — drastically .
Now , just like Obama , he ’ s BFF ’ s with the terrorist regime , responsible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is the state of politics in the land of the free .

Last September, after an oil field was bombed in Saudi Arabia, President Donald Trump tweeted that “we are waiting to hear from the Kingdom…” to find out “under what terms we would proceed” to send them our military assets. The president of the United States admitted that he was waiting on orders to be handed down from a theocratic dictatorship in Saudi Arabia on how to use the men and women in the US armed forces. Naturally, this prompted backlash from all sides, and for good reason. Saudi Arabia is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world and they were behind the largest terror attack ever carried out on American soil, 9/11.
Despite knowing that the Saudis aided and funded the terrorists who flew planes into two world trade center towers that fateful day back in 2001, presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump have bowed down to the dictatorial regime, quite literally. The support the United States establishment pledges to the terrorist dictatorship in Saudi Arabia is an insult to every single person who has served, is serving in the armed forces, the families of victims who lost their lives during the worst attack on US soil in the 21st century, and every free-thinking American in general.
As if Trump courting the Saudis and pledging them our Troops was not bad enough, this week, Trump reneged on his promise to release information to the 9/11 victims’ families to support their lawsuit against Saudi Arabia for their role in the attacks. This decision comes only months after President Trump promised to open FBI files to help families of the 9/11 victims in their civil lawsuit against the Saudi government.
“He looked us in the eye on 9/11, he shook our hands in the White House and said, ‘I’m going to help you — it’s done,’” recalled one of those present, Brett Eagleson, a banker whose father was killed in the World Trade Center, according to ProPublica. “I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing. He’s too beholden to the Saudis.”
Unfortunately, Eagleson is correct.
But we can take solace in Trump’s broken promises, however, because aiding the Saudis while kicking the victims’ families in the teeth is being done in the best “security interests” of America.
As the Independent reports, in New York federal court filings this week, US Attorney General William Barr and intelligence director Richard Grenell invoked unprecedented claims that the documents remain state secrets, which must be locked down to “protect the national security interests” of the US government, despite the president’s pledge to help families in the case.

Grennell wrote that the documents contain “highly sensitive and classified national security information concerning foreign government information, intelligence activities, sources and methods, and information concerning foreign relations and foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources” — all of which “must be protected because its disclosure reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage” to the US, he said.
Attorney General Barr told the court that even public discussion of and justification for the documents’ secrecy must also be kept secret, arguing that a discussion “would reveal information that could cause the very harms my assertion of the state secrets privilege is intended to prevent.”
In other words, the ones most affected by the attacks on 9/11 must suck it up and wage their lawsuit without the aid to the United States government so America can keep in good standings with a terrorist country whose role in 9/11 continues to be revealed in larger and larger scope. Seems legit.
“The extraordinary lengths that they’re going to here suggest that there must be some deep, dark secret that they’re still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years,” said a lawyer for the families, Steven Pounian. “But who are they protecting? Something might be a Saudi government secret. But how can these be secrets that still need to be kept from the American people after all this time?”
As TFTP reported at the time, the lawsuit against Saudi Arabia came in 2017, when for the first time since that fateful September morning, families of victims of the 9/11 terror attacks used a new law to go after Saudi Arabia in lawsuits for their role in the attacks.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-17--As Protests Mount Across The US, Multiple Sheriffs Openly Stand Against Lockdown

On Wednesday , the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) issued a warning and urged governments to take action as global societal unrest is on the horizon .
The IMF cautioned that “ some countries remain vulnerable to new protests , particularly if policy actions to mitigate the COVID-19 crisis are perceived as insufficient or as unfairly favoring large corporates rather than people.

As TFTP reported this week , on Tuesday , more than 100 protesters took to the city streets of Raleigh , North Carolina to voice their desire to reopen the state ’ s economy .
They were quickly met with police action but the well-organized protesters stood their ground through multiple threats .
According to the News and Observer , the protest was organized by ReopenNC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week that wants people to make their own stay-at-home decisions to avoid exposure to COVID-19 as the worldwide pandemic continues .
The group surpassed 28,000 members on Tuesday afternoon .
Then , on Wednesday , Michigan followed suit .

Armed citizens even stormed the steps of the capitol building .

While most law enforcement personnel across the United States are unquestioningly enforcing the orders from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down , others , like Manistee County Sheriff Ken Falk , Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole , Benzie County Sheriff Ted Schendel , and Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Borkovich in Michigan , are doing the opposite .

NYC is falsifying numbers of people who have not even been tested for COVID-19 and adding them to their death toll numbers, the Kushner family is tied to healthcare providers, Medicare is ripe for scams and the lies and tyranny, not to mention the fleecing of the American people by politicians is absolutely amazing. Throw in that corporations are making huge profits and being bailed out at taxpayers’ expense and you can see that as the people cower in their houses, afraid of what their lying government and media have told them that this entire fiasco is about nothing more than money and control.

Sure , let ’ s do mail-in voting .
What ’ s the worst that could happen ?
It ’ s not like mail-in voting isn ’ t a massive dead letter office of fraud .
The Public Interest Legal Foundation ( PILF ) today released a research brief detailing national figures for mail balloting failures , according to previous federal surveys .

Over the recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and misdirected ballots , ” PILF President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said .
“ These represent 28 million opportunities for someone to cheat .
Absentee ballot fraud is the most common ; the most expensive to investigate ; and can never be reversed after an election .
The status quo was already bad for mail balloting .
The proposed emergency fix is worse.

Hospitals overflowing with sick and dying patients .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-17--Lies & Data Manipulation:  NYC Adds 3,700 Who Never Tested Positive To COVID-19 Death Toll

The lies will continue as long as the elites know we ’ ll sit in our homes panicked and afraid .
New York City has actually added almost 4,000 people to the coronavirus death toll even though those people never tested positive for the virus !
The entire pandemic is being manipulated .
We are being lied to and we ’ re allowing them to control us because of it .
We already know the government has asked all death certificates to read as COVID-19 deaths regardless of the actual cause of death , thanks to doctors who have stood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us all .
The city decided to add 3,700 people to its death tolls , who they “ presumed ” to have died from the virus , according to a report from The New York Times .
The additions increased the death toll in the United States by 17 % , according to the Times report , and included people who were suffering from symptoms of the virus , such as intense coughing and a fever .
This follows the fear-mongering the government has asked all to participate in : BOMBSHELL : MN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On How To OVERCOUNT Coronavirus Cases Another COVID-19 Whistleblower : A Montana Dr. Says Government Is Drastically Overstating Deaths Is mainstream media trying to salvage their reputation by actually reporting on what the rest of us have already known ?
The report stated that Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio decided over the weekend to change the way the city is counting deaths .
In order to “ save lives ” , if you follow de Blasio ’ s “ logic ” , deaths need to be counted incorrectly .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ primary focus has been on saving lives , ” de Blasio press secretary Freddi Goldstein told the Times .
“ As soon as the issue ( not enough deaths were being reported to justify the tyranny we are all being asked to suffer under ) was raised , the mayor immediately moved to release the data.
” New York City is not the only city in the U.S. to include presumptive coronavirus deaths in their total .
Several health departments in Ohio announced last week that they were going to begin including people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus .
This means the death toll could be overstated by almost double !
Lying tyrant and White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci dismissed concerns last week over-inflated coronavirus death counts as a “ conspiracy theory.
” Yet , it ’ s far from a theory considering many doctors have now leaked the government ’ s document that commands all deaths that might look like the patient even had contact will someone else who might have had COVID-19 are being counted int the death toll .
We actually have the document @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that coronavirus death be overcounted .

The lies will continue as long as the elites know we’ll sit in our homes panicked and afraid. New York City has actually added almost 4,000 people to the coronavirus death toll even though those people never tested positive for the virus!
The entire pandemic is being manipulated.
We are being lied to and we’re allowing them to control us because of it.
We already know the government has asked all death certificates to read as COVID-19 deaths regardless of the actual cause of death, thanks to doctors who have stood up to the tyrannical lockdowns forced upon us all.
The city decided to add 3,700 people to its death tolls, who they “presumed” to have died from the virus, according to a report from The New York Times.
The additions increased the death toll in the United States by 17%, according to the Times report, and included people who were suffering from symptoms of the virus, such as intense coughing and a fever.
This follows the fear-mongering the government has asked all to participate in:
BOMBSHELL: MN Senator Reveals HHS “Coaching Document” On How To OVERCOUNT Coronavirus Cases
Another COVID-19 Whistleblower: A Montana Dr. Says Government Is Drastically Overstating Deaths
Is mainstream media trying to salvage their reputation by actually reporting on what the rest of us have already known?
Breaking News: New York City’s coronavirus death toll soared past 10,000 after officials added more than 3,700 people who had never tested positive for the virus but were presumed to have died of it. https://t.co/NXpgwwltWi — The New York Times (@nytimes) April 14, 2020
The report stated that Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio decided over the weekend to change the way the city is counting deaths.
In order to “save lives”, if you follow de Blasio’s “logic”, deaths need to be counted incorrectly.
“In the heat of battle, our primary focus has been on saving lives,” de Blasio press secretary Freddi Goldstein told the Times. “As soon as the issue (not enough deaths were being reported to justify the tyranny we are all being asked to suffer under) was raised, the mayor immediately moved to release the data.”
New York City is not the only city in the U.S. to include presumptive coronavirus deaths in their total.
Several health departments in Ohio announced last week that they were going to begin including people who they “suspected” of having the virus.
This means the death toll could be overstated by almost double!
Lying tyrant and White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci dismissed concerns last week over-inflated coronavirus death counts as a “conspiracy theory.”
Yet, it’s far from a theory considering many doctors have now leaked the government’s document that commands all deaths that might look like the patient even had contact will someone else who might have had COVID-19 are being counted int the death toll.
We actually have the document Health and Human Services sent out demanding that coronavirus death be overcounted.
That’s far from a conspiracy theory, Fauci.

‘Total insanity’: Las Vegas mayor slams state’s stay-at-home order and business closures
By Washington Examiner, April 17, 2020:
The mayor of Las Vegas lashed out against her state government’s coronavirus shutdown measures, saying they have reached the point of “total insanity.”
“This shutdown has become one of total insanity,” Democratic Mayor Carolyn Goodman said , adding the virus is not going to disappear anytime soon, and society needs to figure out a way to adapt.
“It’s not going to be going away this month, next month, and much like the flu and other viruses that have impacted populations around the world, this virus, or a derivative there of, will be part of what we work through going forward.”
“We are a state of 3.2 million people, and we’ll soon find out how that changes as we go through our census shortly,” she added. “2.3 of us live down here in southern Nevada. Tragically, we have already lost to this virus 128 individuals in Nevada. Many with complications attributed, in part, to COVID-19. Let me assure you that our sympathies and condolences to those who have lost friends and loved ones. But let me tell you — with a population of 3.2 million living in Nevada, those whom we lost represent less than a half of 1% of our population, which has caused us to shut down the entire state and everything that makes Nevada unique.”
“For heaven’s sake, for being closed is killing us already and killing Las Vegas, our industry, our convention and tourism business that we have all worked so hard to build. The longer we wait to do this, the more impossible it will become to recover,” Goodman warned.
“From my perspective, I am asking: Open the city. Open Clark County. Open the state,” she implored and followed up with a plea for the public to “remember the data.”
States across the country have been grappling with the decision of whether or not to reopen as the coronavirus spread appears to be softening in many places.
A Stanford University study published this week based on random antibody sampling concluded the coronavirus is far more prevalent and less deadly than previously thought.
