I have long feared a police state. Not the figurative one
we’ve been letting develop for years now. I mean a literal one. Where they can
stop you for any reason and ask you for your “papers.” Where they can restrict
your movements, and your associations. Where they can confine you to your
homes.
Yesterday, this became an unfortunate reality for me and all
other Virginians. Mayor Ralph “Blackface” Northam signed an Executive Order
that essentially locks my state down. Police can stop any motorist and ask
where they are going. If they aren’t going to a doctor or the store, they can
be charged with a misdemeanor. For now. And those essential personnel who are
still working have been given papers. Yes, “show me your papers” is finally
here in the land of the free.
Over the course of just a few weeks, America and most of the
world has been subjected to a power play that rivals anything that George
Orwell could have dreamed up. Whole countries locked down. People quarantined
who have no illness. People restricted to their houses. “Social distancing”
mandating that people stay six feet apart from one another. The closing down of
virtually all businesses. No more going to the movies, or restaurants, or
casinos, or concerts. Professional sports leagues and even the NCAA’s lucrative
March Madness basketball tournament have been cancelled. All schools have been
closed indefinitely.
So, surely all these
draconian, unprecedented moves indicate that something really dangerous is
going on? Instead, the world has basically come to a standstill over a virus
strain, which has not even conclusively been proven to exist, that has killed a
fraction of what the common flu kills every year, in this country and around
the world.
The Coronavirus has been
around for decades. Just look at the back of your can of Lysol. It informs you
that their product protects you from “Human Coronavirus,” among other things.
Many of us strongly suspect that cases of simple Coronavirus have been lumped
in with those purporting to be COVID-19, the dastardly strain in question,
which all the best and brightest “experts” inform us could spread across the
world like wildfire.
The primary source for all the fear porn which has been emanating
from our putrid state-run media for weeks, came from United Kingdom
epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who issued a dire warning that 2.2 million could die from
COVID-19 in the United States alone. Without quite the attention given his
initial predictions by the hysterical media, Ferguson quietly acknowledged last
week that his numbers were wrong. Very, very wrong. His weak admission that
perhaps 20,000 could die was not very convincing. And a pair of Stanford
professors of medicine followed that up by saying the predictions of fatalities
“may be too high by orders of magnitude.”
Instead of responding reasonably to these indications that those
who initiated the alarmist talk from our journalists and politicians were
utterly wrong, our leaders have doubled down on the heavy-handed, unwarranted
response. More states like mine have gone into lock down mode. It is akin to
Martial Law, without any visible troops in the streets. Given the lack of
opposition to this authoritarianism, they haven’t needed any. Without firing a
shot, as the saying goes.
Citizen journalists have
posted a myriad of videos on You Tube, which depict not the “overwhelmed”
hospitals that are literally bursting at the seams with corpses, but instead
largely empty facilities. Jason Goodman has been filming around hospitals in
New York City, the alleged epicenter of the alleged epidemic, and it has to be
seen to be believed. Idle ambulances everywhere. Disinterested EMT workers and
hospital employees. Many, if not most of them not wearing masks. Police
harassing him from filming on a public street. I have a friend who lives in New
York City, and he just called me this morning to report how non-busy the
biggest hospital in Brooklyn looked. Something very strange is going on here.
Meanwhile, Dr. Colleen Smith, a doctor who specializes in
“medical simulation,” whatever that is, violated every HIPAA regulation
imaginable when she filmed inside an ICU at New York City’s Elmhurst Hospital.
Dr. Smith complained about a lack of equipment and resources, the same
establishment mantra we’ve heard time and time again from establishment
sources, which is invariably blamed on hapless Donald Trump. Her video was
published by the New York Times. The same day she was filming inside, Elmhurst
Hospital was videotaped outside by a citizen journalist. You guessed it- it
resembled a ghost town.
As I’ve made clear to so
many who are parroting the mainstream line, “people are dying!,” yes,
people are dying.
They do everyday. As Bob Dylan, also back in the news this week with a better
late than never song about JFK assassination truth, once said, “he not busy
being born is busy dying.” The question is, what are the people whose deaths
the state-controlled media is fixated upon dying from? How many of
these deaths are actually from underlying causes like diabetes or pneumonia, or
less frightening strains of virus, like the regular flu or the generic
Coronavirus?
There are many disquieting
indications that the wild overreaction to this is a hoax, even if the virus is
not. The photograph of ominous rows of coffins supposedly emanating out of
Italy, which has been allegedly hit so hard by COVID-19, which was proven to be
from another country, taken years earlier. The Italian reports indicating that
99% of the fatalities attributed to this virus came from “other pathologies.”
The story in early February out of China, that the Chinese were including
deaths from pneumonia along with the scary COVID-19 cases. It is no
exaggeration to say that, considering the draconian response, those in charge
have a tremendous vested interest in significantly increasing the numbers.
Both the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease
Control were caught lying about the same thing in 2009; they falsely inflated
the Swine Flu figures. Sharyl Attkisson lost her job with CBS for exposing the
CDC. No investigative journalism is allowed in this country, outside of
amateurs on the internet. The CDC and WHO are front and center here, along with
our perpetually dishonest politicians and laughable, lapdog establishment
press. They are
the ones selling this narrative. Why would any intelligent person believe them?
I have been lied to my entire
life by the most powerful authority figures. I worked for the Medical Industrial
Complex for 44 years, until being fired two years ago for helping a handicapped
co-worker. You read that right. That’s the chance you take in a “right to work”
state. It gives them a right to fire you for no reason. Our healthcare system is
hopelessly inefficient and just as corrupt as any other part of America 2.0.
The medical profession itself is the third leading cause of death in this
country. When you enter a hospital, you take your life in your hands. So excuse
me for not trusting in all the white coats issuing their dire pronouncements.
In Virginia, our unofficial Martial Law is in effect until June
10. Just imagine how many businesses will never reopen after being closed for
nearly three months. How many employees will be laid off, and be left to deal
with the ever-increasing cost of living with their $1200 checks that
constituted the trickle-down droppings from the $5.5 trillion dollar “stimulus”
package, which Ron Paul called “a massive transfer of wealth from the middle
class to the elite?” Picture the massive unemployment claims, somehow paid for
by payroll taxes which are not going to be collected from all those unemployed
workers who are no longer paying them.
And we still haven’t heard a peep of protest from anyone with a
large public platform. Not a single corporate leader whose dedication to
capitalism compels him to protest the literal shutdown of almost all commerce.
There is a stunning uniformity of opinion on this massive overhaul of our
society, which happened in the blink of an eye. Only naysayers like me, with
the voices we have on the internet, are pointing out how shockingly wrong all
of this is.
America, even as it existed in its watered-down, often
embarrassing form a month ago, is forever gone. Once our leaders have
demonstrated they can institute such authoritarian restrictions on the
populace, with virtually no resistance, it is a certainty they will do it
again. Expect to see the kind of ridiculous color-coded “terror threat”
warnings we saw after 9/11. When the unquestioned authorities declare that we
are at “code red” in terms of a new viral threat, America will just go back
into lock down mode. Americans will be used to it.
Helping to sell this narrative has been an astonishing number of
celebrities. This virus evidently is predisposed to attack famous people who
have shown unswerving devotion to the Deep State. It was entirely predictable that
the likes of Tom Hanks, Greta Thunberg, Prince Charles, and Chris Cuomo would
test positive. For the Coronavirus, as it is worded in all the celebrity cases,
not for COVID-19. This
could be the lazy, unintentional intermingling of a generic term for the deadly
strain that has stopped the world. Or it could be an admission that technically they
are telling the truth- the tests can only determine whether one has
Coronavirus, not any particular strain of it.
But there is a huge difference between the two terms; testing
positive for the generic Coronavirus is no big deal. It could just be
a common cold, or an indication someone is a carrier, with no symptoms at all.
If everyone in past years had been frightened by fear porn into getting tested
for any sniffle, who knows how many might have been positive? They have somehow convinced most
of the public that this virus strain is potentially far more deadly than
anything since the Bubonic Plague, despite numbers that remain a fraction of
what we see every flu season. With even the most severe flu seasons, nothing
has ever been closed or cancelled. Certainly there was never any kind of lock
down.
This has all been sold to
the public on the basis of protecting us. After all, our leaders care about us.
They have only our best interests at heart. And what is more terrifying to
anyone than the state of their health? None of us want to put our loved ones’
lives in danger. And so we become even more compliant than normal.
Benjamin Franklin wisely warned, “Those who would give up
essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither
Liberty nor Safety.” Considering the continuous fear porn coming from our
leaders, few of us probably feel safe. And their totalitarian response to an
invisible enemy should make all of us feel demonstrably less free.
