Yesterday at the grocery store I noticed that the level of masking, which was sparse at first, and then approached 50 percent, was now at 90. This morning I watched a man forcibly removed from a bus by armed police for failure to wear a mask. That turned my stomach, making me think that the officers in question should be wearing brown shirts. The man was black, and why do I want to add “of course”?
This tells me that that the news is ramping it up now, and that the State of Fear is reaching dangerous levels. People this scared are going to start acting up, family disputes, substance abuse, and fights in grocery stores. Inevitably they are going to sink into depression, and their health will deteriorate. Add to this unemployment, lack of money, and a sense of hopelessness, and suicide rates will rocket. It will not be publicized.
I think in the end I am going to have to don a mask, if only to avoid drawing attention to myself. We are in a snitch culture now, and failure to conform might invite aggression from people with guns strapped to their hips.*
It is hilarious and outrageous at once. If there really were a virus, deadly or not, nothing could stop its spread. It would have traveled around the world several times by the time it was discovered, so that all efforts to avoid it would be futile. That happens every year with influenza, if indeed it is a virus (and I know of no other explanation that makes more sense at this time). We either get it or we don’t. This year I got that mysterious bug that was going around in January, as did my Physicians Assistant, who happened to be in Jamaica at the time. Mine lasted three weeks. She said hers did as well, and that she was in bed for three days.
What, pray tell, could we have done to avoid it? We are told that Covid-19 cropped up at a fish market in Wuhan, China, and that Doctor Li Wenliang died of it, but that is easily seen to be a rollout. If he even existed (Fauxlex says not), it is plain to see that they wanted a dramatic entrance for a deadly pathogen, and nothing serves it up better than a dead doctor. The idea that they spotted it right away, isolated it and identified then it … it does not work that way. All if that stuff is normally done long after the fact, as the virus will have gone round the world while the WHO and CDC were still tying their shoes.
So it is a hoax. We all know that here. Its purpose? Easy to see with crashed economies and desperate people and now armed police pushing people around … it is fascism. It has always lurked in the shadows, but now they have brought it out in the open.
I read an article not long ago listing they ways in which the last ten years saw more human progress than perhaps the last hundred. We had abundant energy, and traditionally poor countries like India and China were busting out. Africa would not be far behind, in spite of efforts to restrict its access to cheap energy. It was a true war on poverty. The US was at near-full employment. The Internet was in part the driver, as that coupled with human creativity was allowing amazing progress everywhere we looked.
I suspect that all scared the overlords. They needed to put an end to it, and get back to our old days of desperation. So they decided to crash the economy. When they rebuild it, it will not be the same. It will never be business as usual again, as they cannot risk the progress we were seeing coming into being again. The new economy will keep us down, and a lockdown can be called anytime things get out of hand.
By the way, fascism is defined as the marriage of the corporation and the state. Isn’t it interesting that Netflix ran a documentary called Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates right at the time that Bill Gates became the spokesperson for the rules and regulations of the fascist lockdown/shutdown? Bill Gates is no genius, I think Mathis drove that point home a while back. He invented nothing. Microsoft/Apple/Google are all products of DARPA. The billions needed for ideas that might never pay off puts massive research projects beyond the reach of investors. The Internet and PC and then the smart phone were given over to private corporations for free.
Chomsky, FWIW, has long maintained that technology is developed by the government and then turned over to private corporations for profit. Each of these corporations has a “genius” to front for it. Thus do we have Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, maybe not slouches, but certainly not genius inventors. They are just window dressing.
*Bob Garner, God rest his soul, was a man who for a time after his motorcycle days worked at a small bookstore when we lived in Bozeman, Montana. One day a customer tied up his dog outside and came in to browse. A policeman followed him in to tell him he could not do that. Bob picked up the phone and dialed 911 saying an armed man was harassing one of his customers. He had three police cars out front within a few minutes. That takes a special man.

My point exactly. All true data indicates a death rate which basically can be rounded to 0.0000%. The overall death rate figures coming out of Europe are not elevated. Down slightly. Nothing unusual is actually occurring, so I kind of just roll my eyes that “bio-weapon” stuff is still going around. Nothing unusual is actually happening.
If there is a virus, it’s essentially harmless and likely to be found in the vast majority of the human population already anyway. And there is some very interesting theory out there saying that the RNA code we call SARS-CoV-2 is actually something internally produced by the body. Detecting it would be finding the effect, not the cause.
Bottom line: no matter how you tweak your personal theory as to how we are being scammed, we are being scammed! The bio-weapon stuff is just to bog us down in blind alley dead ends. A free-thinking public would be openly rebelling at this point.
It’s almost irrelevant at this point to try to figure out exactly how the magician did the trick…the key is simply knowing that it is a magic trick. Implementing open fascism is what we are being misdirected from, while we stare at the magician assistant’s rack.

This claims all cause mortality in Europe is up (link from Simon Shack debunking paper)-

This overall excess mortality is driven by a very substantial excess mortality in some countries, primarily seen in the age group of 65 years and above, but also in the age group of 15-64 years.”

The images I had seen were from this very same dataset, except it looks like about 1-2 weeks prior. Strange. And no, not really. This puts current rates on the same levels as recently as 2016 and 2018. We should be seeing rates off the charts…a total outward shift in overall mortality. We do not. And there was absolutely no elevation in the data whatsoever until April 2020, which is very bizarre. This shows rates totally in line with recent history, even if slightly elevated in the last few weeks.
But thank you for the link. I had only seen images from about a week ago. This is…slightly interesting. I will keep watching to see if we actually spike outside of historic levels, not something where we can show even higher rates as recently as 2016 and 2018.
Remember, we should see similar levels of all other kinds of deaths PLUS the supposed corona deaths, so it is already inherently suspicious that this data only seemed to even go slightly up in the last week or so, and even then only to rates we’d deem minorly elevated. Again, when you consider the number of people thought to have been infected, likely 50% or more of these countries population, and these mortality figures being nearly unchanged speaks volumes. Let’s see what this chart does moving forward.
And I swear, they’re gaming the system somehow. Every one of these charts has had a wave of “debunk” right behind them…but as I’m pointing out, even the very recent slight elevation in this data is not yet compelling. We should see a true outward shift in mortality, not a tiny elevation only in the last few weeks. A tiny elevation is more data saying that these lockdowns need to end immediately. A true outward shift is what the media claims is occurring. We still do not see that.

At this point, I basically am expecting such a policy. The question becomes how long can you fight it? Is it worth it to fight? We are living in a fascist nightmare.

I’m happy to stipulate that this is a global con. What is not so obvious, to me at least, is what is the objective. I cannot dismiss the possibility that there may be a bio-weapon, and that this (Covid-19) is not it. Vaccines are being prepared, or have already been prepared and are being mass produced for the moment we “go back to work” and let our collective guard down. There is neither a single con here, nor a lot of evidence to support the role and scope of that happens next. I have questions.
Just because the numbers are being faked now, doesn’t prevent this “drill” from going live at some point in the future. Is population control (“culling”) something I/we can dismiss once and for all? I cannot. Our immune systems, however compromised after a lifetime of chemical, biological and psychological attack by the same perpetrators is able to fight off this round of “flu-like” symptoms. Is that any reason to assume that this “will be over soon?” I’m not so sure. There have been hints of “waves” of attacks. Like the waves of the past, we cannot predict the severity of what lies ahead. The evil SOBs with their hands on the levers of power have never been shy about killing everything and anything in their sights. I suggest we continue to ask questions about events on the horizon, not just what is at our feet.
One example of a “think-tank” full of influential technocrats planning our future is The Club of Rome. It is by no means the upper level of global power, but it is transparent enough to get a general idea of favored paradigm shifts, not inconsistent with the higher-ups’ previously revealed tendencies. https://clubofrome.org/about-us/

People are frequently getting stuck in this line of logic (“What is the objective?”), when I believe this is the wrong way to look at it. There is neither any single objective nor any new objective here. It is the same litany of objectives that have always been present.
These fascist policies have continued along a trajectory, but for them to move into later phases it was likely known that a shock would be needed. Something to totally reshape the public mind. Hence, this scenario was dreamt up to create the widest possible range of justifications for existing aims. It would need to make previously unimaginable policies seem entirely necessary. The aim is to reshape society into a completely new state of existence, both physically and mentally.
Problem, Reaction, Solution.
So I believe people are looking at it backwards. Since this is new and sudden hysteria, people tend to believe that there must be a new and sudden objective at hand. Not so. Instead, the objectives are the same as they ever were.
I fear we are spending too much time trying to understand the exact process by which we are being conned, when we ought to be looking AWAY from the virus. The virus hysteria is the great and mighty Oz, and the man behind the curtain is currently unimpeded. But it is a much more formidable man behind the curtain.

Fauxlex, I’ve been reading all your comments on this post, up to this point. I agree with all you’ve said. I’d like to add a thought of my own, too.
We know that ‘these people’ are absolute control freaks. Besides money and power, they have an intense need to be in control. Does anyone think that people like they are, so focused on control, would ever truly unleash a real virus on the world?
The way I see it, they wouldn’t. For the same reasons there are never any real victims of so called “mass shootings” and all of their other theatrical pieces. A real virus would be quick to get out of their control and create real victims. Real victims cause them real problems. I don’t know if any of these people are capable of truly loving another human being, but if by chance they are, what if a real virus were to somehow get near to and kill one of the people they love? Even before every last one of them were hidden away in some underground bunker, on a desert island, or in Antarctica, where science fiction has always told us they’ll go to “ride this out.”
In my opinion, this is and always has been a fake pandemic. You mentioned the “bio weapons” theory. My memory is so bad and my phone is so weird that I can neither remember nor check back to see whether you mentioned 5G, too. Anyway, I agree that the whole bio weapons thing and all the rest of those discussions take away from the discussion of what’s going to be happening from now on. I wanted to mention an experience I’ve had twice this week and it was really weird both times.
Twice this past week, I was talking to straight laced, ‘little old ladies’ in my building in Milano. I thought I’d be hearing them talk about how terrible the virus is or something like that. Imagine my total shock when one of them started talking about bio weapons and the other started talking about 5G!!! I was so blown away by the fact that they even knew those terms that I couldn’t say more to either of them than that I don’t believe there’s a virus at all and why. Both of them strongly disagreed with me on that.
Anyway, that’s basically it. While I’m here I’ll just quickly add that I read every post by every author. They’ve all been really great and informative and interesting. I share all of them on Twitter and people are liking them. Ciao! 🌞

“Over the course of three acts, the inhabitants of a small, provincial French town turn into rhinoceroses; ultimately the only human who does not succumb to this mass metamorphosis is the central character, Bérenger, a flustered everyman figure who is initially criticized in the play for his drinking, tardiness, and slovenly lifestyle and then, later, for his increasing paranoia and obsession with the rhinoceroses.”

Nobody could stop them it seems. Same in Cortina d’Ampezzo on the Alps, people everywhere, they were fined but didn’t care. In the south, people had barbecues on top of buildings not to be caught by the police.
Our ridiculous and incompetent Prime Minister thinks that he can go on like this until God knows when, but people here hasn’t seen a single cent yet, and what media do not say is that many are starting to gather on the street to protest and soon there will riots and disorders as no virus can win over poverty and hunger. When one has got nothing left to lose, one can be very dangerous. We’re nearly there.

Maybe the long awaited twist is coming guy’s… I’ve been keeping this to myself for a couple of days as I wanted to make sure it wasn’t bullshit, but the fact that the scientific committee within the Italian government has gone against says it all.
So. An Italian cardiologist from Pavia hospital (a town near Milan, one of the best cardiologic centres in Europe) has found out that this flu virus ( he called that flu virus, not Covid) attacks the lungs but people are not dying of pneumonia, they’re dying of pulmonary thrombosis that causes pulmonary edema. They’ve been doing a few autopsies and realised they hadn’t noticed before that there were these thrombos in the lungs, or whatever you call them in English, poorly visible even through a scan. They immediately started treating patients in ICU’s with shots of anti coagulant Clexane (that’s it’s name in Italy, dunno about the US), and after a day or two they were out of IC, breathing normally and without support.
This is probably the twist we’ve been waiting for, as these doctors said on all social media that this quarantene has to finish asap and they’ll turn this bg into a normal flu, easily treatable at home with heparine and anti inflammatory meds.
The government scientists started a defamation campaign against those doctors straight away…maybe a vaccine is no longer useful and they risk to lose all the money they invested into vaccine patents?
The truth about this bullshit hoax is emerging guys, I’m sure about it as too many doctors in Italy are not following the protocols imposed by criminal politicians and sold off scientists which are literally killing hundreds of old people treating them like rats in a lab.
My mom was on anti coagulants for many years, I used to gave her shots on the belly and that saved her life many times from pulmonary edema’s that were killing her.
Hopefully she’s safe because of that.

I saw something from an American doctor saying the same: the pulmonary edema is secondary; the primary ailment is in the blood. (He likened the effects of the virus to altitude sickness, and once he started treating patients thusly, they recovered quickly.)
Of course, these are inconvenient points of data around here. These reports, if true, would mean that:
A. There IS a disease out there: it’s not just that so very many doctors and EMTs and epidemiologists in so many countries are faking an outbreak or generating medical data out of whole cloth.
B. The disease CAN be serious. It is more than the common cold, more even that the run-of-the-mill flu bug, for some people, at least.
C. There is likely more than one strain of the virus going around, and that the effects vary accordingly.
Those who have acquired an immunity for counter-evidence will not be affected by these data points.
Nor by the news that my one acquaintance died last week, after being removed from the ventilator because his chances were poor and someone more likely to live could use it. (This fact points to crowding on the COVID ward and scarcity of resources, which has also been denied here.) My other acquaintance who was hospitalized had been on a ventilator for a couple days, but is off now and seems to be stable and slowly recovering.

Predominantly fake is not the same as completely fake. My condolences. Please realize that you are a total outlier on this one. Of the hundreds of people who I have come across, you are the only one I know who has such a broad exposure to sick people in this situation. Realize that most of us know absolutely nobody who is sick from this, let alone 7 hospitalized people, let alone one who died…so your experience is very exceptional. It is also extremely unusual that the virus being reported by the media would predominantly impact the blood. For me, this feeds 5G theories…an autoimmune response. But who the hell knows? People are getting respiratory symptoms, but dying from strange secondary symptoms that we shouldn’t be seeing out of a respiratory syndrome. That’s…not right. Or it certainly shouldn’t only occur in 1 in every 10,000 patients while 50% are totally asymptomatic. That doesn’t make any sense, so if there really is some new syndrome out there I really do wonder if it could be the 5G theory or something exotic/unknown. Recall, most hospitals ARE empty. This is not being made up. So your experience truly is a strange outlier here.
All I ask Maarten is that you keep in mind that your personal experience is the atypical one, not ours. I am not saying that yours is not true, only that you are the one who is providing details which totally differ from the vast, vast majority of people. So you yourself may be more skewed by your experience than we are by ours. Ask yourself, if I have broad exposure to elderly people, is it possible 2-3 of them might have been sick right now with pneumonia regardless? Among the others, who knows what proportion of their symptoms are the dreaded COVID-19 alone. We just can’t know. But I ask that you remember…for every person like you who knows of many sick people, there are a hundred who don’t know a single sick person. This should still be meaningful to you, although it is harder as you are the exception.
I have always agreed that something is really out there, and it CAN rarely be serious. But all available evidence still says that it is serious in only the rarest of the rare cases. Or that we are seeing something completely different from what we are being told about. Please at least consider this.

Faux, you have a sense of the sort of circle of associates that I have. For those who have a circle of associates similar to mine, my experience is typical. Or rather, in these circles, I am the outlier for not knowing someone in my own “proximity” who has the illness. Where I sit, I know more people whose direct experience parallels mine more than yours. This is not to discount your report, which I accept at face value. But I am not playing an emotional trump card, as I have been accused: I am merely reporting bona fide information.
As I mentioned in a private email, I am very much open to your hypothesis, that the outbreak is a cover for something else, 5G maybe or possibly other things not yet considered. I absolutely agree that there is fakery all around us about COVID. But there is a pathogen out there …
We deem it immoral to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater. But I think it immoral also to shout “Just special effects!” in a theater filling with smoke.

Good to hear it wasn’t 7 hospitalized. That brings you much more in line with what I would expect, given your exposure to a broad mix of people. That sounds about right. Very sorry to hear someone died. Admitting…I still consider that person to be a significant rarity here, unfortunately enough for them and their family. Giving a ton of ground to accept on credit that it is only COVID-19 which caused that death. And I’m so-so on the smoke analogy. You do admit that the vast majority of the smoke here is caused by special effects. Or that for every fire, we’ve got a huge cloud of artificial smoke here.
I definitely agree that “no virus” is not something to push, given that I am confident enough that not ALL the PCR test results could be fraudulent and considering that they are doing SOME testing. Iceland in particular has tested a decent fraction of its population. However, I have also seen some very compelling and intelligent people make the case that viruses are not transmitted person-to-person. So I don’t know what to think. I do think they’re finding this virus in the PCR, but for all I know 40% of the population has been carrying that virus going back thousands of years. For all I know, the body itself produces that code in response to certain stresses. So while I do not deny sickness, I am currently puzzled what is causing it.
The hospitals ARE mainly empty, and overall mortality rates are not elevated outside of recent norms. The peaks during cold/flu seasons of 2016 and 2018 caused higher all-cause mortality in Europe than currently. This doesn’t make any sense, paired with the media story. Think about that. We should have seen a TOTAL outward shift in all-cause mortality, instead we have seen mortality amounting to a typical cold/flu season!!! This is why the “no virus” crowd has legs.
Quite intentionally, we are meant to not have the slightest idea what is going on. But I have become increasingly less concerned with the exact nature of the shenanigans and more concerned with the fact that the public response is fascist and unjustifiable.

The hospitals look empty … from the outside. I am sure the occupancy rate is lower than usual, too. But that is different from the hospitals being empty. If you know personally some nurses, therapists, and techs—as I do—then you know that they still have plenty of work to do. And they are afraid of going to work, based on what they see there.
But an empty-looking hospital is exactly what one would expect if all elective procedures are cancelled. This is not a fact about COVID … it is an indictment against the huge number of unnecessary surgeries that are done in the US. And for that matter, once people stop using the Emergency Room as the first stop for every little ailment, it gets pretty quiet there, too. Not to mention that less traffic and closed factories makes for fewer accidents. And that social distancing will cut down on the spread of normal flu bugs as well as COVID. “Empty hospitals” is not that meaningful.
If the virus were not spread person-to-person, that would make the case even stronger that this pathogen is a bioweapon, either created in a lab or taken from nature and weaponized. There are informed voices saying exactly this about COVID. In which case, the pandemic is an act of war. Maybe even a war in which a government attacks its own population for the purpose of plausible deniability. Especially a government which has a history of infecting its own people.
And in a war, civil rights are usually the second casualty. The first, of course, being truth.

Lack of elective procedures might explain the relative slowness, but it doesn’t explain the lack of a COVID-19 rush. There should be a rush, remember? Hospitals should be overwhelmed. There weren’t THAT MANY elective procedures. Flatten the curve and all that? And none of that explains why we haven’t seen a steady outward shift in all cause mortality. You know that I agree that a virus exists, just because of the genome records in patient samples. I just happen to believe they’re mainly finding people who died WITH SARS-CoV-2, not FROM SARS-CoV-2. If there is some distinct new illness out there, I have no idea what is causing it. But there has not been the excess mortality that they claim and that they have so effectively propagandised with the morgue trailers.

In some places, the hospitals ARE experiencing the COVID rush. My acquaintance John was removed from his ventilator, not because he was getting better, but because someone more likely to survive needed one, and the hospital was short on units.
A nurse friend who works in the cardiology department has told me that her floor is being converted to a COVID floor, because her hospital has run out of space for those patients. She is scared of what she will now be exposed to at work, because her colleagues in the COVID unit have told her.
No, these issues are not being experienced in every state or city. That’s hardly the point. If mitigation is working, then many hospitals will be spared the COVID rush. But the rush is happening, and it is not just CNN presstitutes reporting this. Real, genuine first-hand eyewitnesses known personally to me are telling me these things. What you see on TV is fake. But there is nevertheless a reality behind the fakery.

“Fascism is defined as “is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, generally happening anywhere else but the United States.”
OK, I added that last part. But I am foregoing talk of viruses right now. People get sick and die all the time, more than 50 million each year. How easy would it be to simply re-label those deaths? What if a bogus test was used to add drama? What if, by the power of TV, people can be convinced of anything? Honest, you gotta see the movie Wag the Dog sometime. It’s a primer.
Fascism is only ever imposed in reaction to an “emergency” when people are frightened and highly suggestible. They voluntarily give up their (remaining) freedoms, only to awaken later to find out they are not getting them back. It could be that the current fascist push is in response to a real emergency, but I really doubt that. Historically, emergencies are invented as needed. Since the 1950s, television has been used to sell the emergencies. Before that it was Newsreels and radio. Before mass communication it was a whole different game, but they still managed to get people to fight in their stupid wars. The problem is humans, a herd animal.

Or even a legitimate test. This is where I’m saying the fact that all-cause mortality rates are not elevated beyond 2016-2018 levels is incredibly telling. Let’s imagine they labeled a virus that a third of the population inherently carries as the boogeyman regardless of whether it was actually the cause of any illness. Would also explain why so many people are asymptomatic. They just happened to test for it during cold/flu season, so a bunch of people who tested positive had minor colds. About 50% had no symptoms at all, because the presence of this virus may not cause symptoms. Then their test would find it just about wherever they wanted to find it. As you say, just labeling regular deaths as spooky virus deaths. This scenario fits better than most and it can still supports that there is a real virus detected by PCR.
The real question is why we would take as pure fact the idea that this virus is the sole cause of a sudden claimed wave of illnesses. The death rates are simply not shifted outward to the levels they should be if the media is being honest.

I neither need be a coroner or a virologist to understand a few basic premises, that the CDC has instructed doctors when filling out a death certificate (not a coroner) to use the “Covid-19” if dead person tested positive, no matter how many other symptoms were present. This is why 100 Covid-19 deaths in Italy a few weeks back were scaled back to 2. All decedents had lots of other symptoms and would have died anyway. CDC has also told doctors to use Covid-7 even if it is only a suspicion.
Thus spaketh the non-coroner.
I am not a virologist but am betting that I’ve done a lot more reading than you on the subject, and not just recently. I’ve also formed a lot of questions in my mind that need answering, the best way to read. But all of that aside, it’s become plain to me that this is not a pandemic, nor is there a dangerous pathogen around. As I have gathered so far, if influenza is caused by a virus, most people in good health are either asymptomatic, or get over it quickly. The kind of viral-pageants as played out out int the works of King and Crichton do not happen. The worst plagues that have befallen humans have been a combination of bad living conditions, poor health, and bacterial agents.
I do not have to have doctoral degree to understand the basics of these matters. Thus spaketh the non-virologist/bacteriologist.

Yes I am reading about not just viruses, but an 800-page take-down of modern medicine in general. Do I believe every word I read? Do I trust the authors? It does not matter, because in the end I have to assemble the information in my own head in an orderly way. This is the problem I face, to understand what viruses are, if they can cause pandemics, if they are a cause or remedy for bodily malfunctions, if they travel in air or pass person to person.
This I know right now: If viruses are as defined by modern medicine, very small strands of RNA that can be passed by touch and through the air, then we have no defenses against Covid-19. Every time we go to the store we touch stuff. Masks offer no defense. The distancing, the masks, the fear, are psychological conditioning. We are in the midst of coup d’etat, which cannot be done without an emergency.

I’m also running across the “blood” issue, and the destruction of the ability for the lungs to get oxygen into the bloodstream. It may well be the underlying key, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that a viral contagion is the cause. Environmental toxins and 5G and related EMF toxicity can lead to inability to properly process oxygen.
Of course, basic fear and anxiety diminish one’s ability to breathe deeply and oxygenate. It may well be that the whole “pandemic” is a cover for something deadly that the PTB don’t want known because of where the ultimate trail will lead.
As we see how everyone in the chain is so quickly ready to go along with this, it doesn’t even have to be sinister forces. We’ve all become a bunch of dependent cowards.
