The propaganda term, “misinformation”

Why do we need information other than that provided by the authorities in order to reject the official narrative?

There is a propagandistic implication behind the term “misinformation” that the authorities make valid claims and the reason people reject them is that they are being misled by information from other sources, however, those who reject their claims may base their rejection merely on the information provided by the authorities on the basis that it doesn’t support their claims, they may not take a single step towards any other source but simply reject the claims using their critical thinking skills.

It’s often not a question of which information is relied on but how information is interpreted.

Let’s consider a number of pieces of information either provided by the authorities or that is otherwise non-controversial:

  1. Exercises: In the two years prior to the pandemic the following exercises were conducted: Pandemic tabletop exercises, Event 201 (Oct 2019) and Clade X (2018); joint exercise by US agencies to respond to a severe pandemic of influenza originating in China, Crimson Contagion (2019).

We were told that the covid pandemic is an exercise: in a press conference on March 20, 2020, Mike Pom

peo says: “We’re in a live exercise here,” after which Donald Trump says quietly and impassively, “You should have let us … you should have let us know.” How does Pompeo’s statement and Trump’s response make sense for a real pandemic? We were told on the World Economic Forum website, Lockdown is the world’s biggest psychological experiment …

  1. Hospital anomalies:
  • There are very good reasons for believing that some footage at least from hospitals crying “pandemic” is really of drills, for example, this BBC news item, Covid frontline: harrowing scenes from London intensive care unit as deaths soar, shot in University College Hospital, London.
  • We see alleged ICU patients sitting beside their bed or with only an oxygen tube.
  • There are no clear signs that these patients need ICU care.
  • We’re told that they have converted wards to ICU but there is no clear evidence of this.
  • We see staff roles scribbled on their facemasks.
  • We also wouldn’t expect filming in a genuine ICU situation, especially in the midst of a serious pandemic.
  • CBC apologizes for using fake patients and training facility in COVID-19 story.
  • CBS used Italian footage for a New York story.
  • Debbie Hicks walked the corridors of Gloucestershire Royal Hospital filming and found little sign of activity despite the hospital reporting it was extremely busy.
  • How do so many medical staff have time to rehearse dance routines when they’re supposedly under massive pandemic pressure?
    1. No determination of illness other than test: The alleged covid doesn’t have a distinctive set of symptoms telling it apart from cold, flu, pneumonia, or other respiratory illnesses. There is no clinical diagnosis of the disease and if testing stopped tomorrow we’d have no clue that anyone had covid as distinct from other respiratory illnesses. While now we are being told that suffering the alleged covid may result in myocarditis this condition is a known side-effect of the jab.
    2. Test not valid: It is admitted by the authorities that there is no gold standard test for the alleged covid and the PCR test is not a diagnostic test, stated clearly on its packet (“For use under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Only”, “Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status”) and yet “cases” are based purely on the result of the test, not on a clinical diagnosis.
    3. Low mortality in Australia: According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, covid was the 38th leading cause of death in 2020 but is nevertheless shown at the bottom of the Top 20 causes of death table. According to the statistics, in 2019 flu and pneumonia caused more than four times the number of deaths of covid and yet no enforced measures were taken and nor did we hear about the number of cases or mortality in the media in any memorable way.

Hypothetically, if we were told about a respiratory illness that didn’t have a distinctive set of symptoms, wasn’t diagnosed clinically but determined by a non-standard test and was ranked as 38th leading cause of death our expectations would not be that our country would enforce unprecedented measures that turned our lives upside down.

      1. Other health conditions present at time of death: According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, it was reported in February 2022 that more than 90 per cent of those who died from COVID-19 had other health conditions. Most of the deaths – 91.4 per cent – had other health conditions listed on the victim’s death certificate. On average, deaths due to COVID-19 had 2.7 other diseases and conditions certified alongside the virus.
      2. Alternative explanation for excess mortality: While the overall excess mortality spike in Europe in April 2020 might lead us to suspect the presence of a novel illness, when we break the figures down by country (set the end date marker to 2020-25) we see there is no excess spike (that is the spike is no greater at that time of year compared to previous years) in Portugal and Germany, two countries that didn’t implement either of the aggressive drug trials, the Oxford Recovery and the WHO Solidarity trial. Very little publicity of the problems with these trials was covered by the media but France-Soir published this article, Oxford, Recovery et Solidarity: Overdosage in two clinical trials with acts considered criminal?

Other measures that can be inferred increased mortality include:

Of course, isolation kills people too.

      1. No enforcement of mask hygiene: There is great debate about the effectiveness of masks in the first place but regardless, if we were to consider masks played any positive role, dirty masks would surely not be considered effective against infection by anyone. The rules, however, only required a mask to be worn with no monitoring of level of hygiene and many people wore masks purely for compliance’ sake – they pulled out masks that had been here, there and everywhere purely to comply with the rules. What we can infer from this very obviously ineffective measure is that masks were about appearance only, nothing to do with health.
      2. Contradictory (to the point of hilarity) guidelines: In addition to the mask problem, guidelines in general were confusing and contradictory which undermines the credibility of all of them.
Critical thinking or reliance on “misinformation”?

How can it be disputed that a person who rejects the claim that there was a pandemic on the basis that the information provided by the authorities does not support it is simply applying critical thinking and is not in the least being misled by “misinformation”?

This Changes Everything

Learning how to think: logical fallacies

One of the reasons I say that knowing viruses don’t exist changes everything is that it can ignite a process of questioning—questioning what you think you know about health and illness, but also questioning how you know what you know about anything. This starts with realizing that you have been accepting what you’ve been told by experts, teachers, and o…

ViroLIEgy 101: The Scientific Method

ViroLIEgy 101 is a series of articles meant to provide relatively short (by my standards) and concise explanations of key concepts regarding both germ “theory” and virology. I’m providing an overview on topics that are essential to the conversation that people may be confused with and have difficulty understanding, or areas that seem to be controversial…

  1. Thank you, Petra, for allowing me to post your writings. You go into so much more detail than I can muster these days.

    Just a note, and not to undermine anything you’ve written:

    I stated way back in early 2020 that “the PCR test IS THE VIRUS.” I did not know at that time that the field of virology was pseudoscience, but I knew that the PCR could be rigged to find any human strain of DNA/RNA, and that they had probably selected one common enough to turn up often enough to create the illusion that a virus was spreading. They could turn up or down the amplifications to foster the illusion that the pandemic was getting worse or better. This is how they coerced the thousands of people administering the PCR test into thinking they were doing real medical science. It was all fake, fake, fake. To sell the hoax, they had to create or advance the virology myth of the “asymptomatic carrier.”

    I did not know in early 2020 that the reason for the unmerciful shutdowns, lockdowns, distancing, masking and overall abandonment of constitutional rights (which were always just an illusion anyway) was to create enough suffering that when they announced a vaccine was on the ready, there would be a stampede. Little did we know then that the vaccines were long prepared and in waiting, and had nothing to do with any alleged virus. Instead, the vaccines, actually just injections of unknown substances, had other purposes which are still unfolding before us. Among those purposes, depopulation.

    2. Thanks for publishing, Mark. Yeah, I don’t know when I discovered PCR was bogus but it was pretty early on. This article is a rehash of one that was written earlier and it’s all old news now (in fact, even when I wrote the earlier post in 2022 it was too) – I just used the points to make the point about “misinformation” being a propaganda term. I guess it’s always good to keep alive the bogusness from the start because now there’s so much attention on the jab … but we must never forget there was never ANYTHING at all to justify it.

      I knew there was no virus from Day One because it was clear we were being subjected to a psyop and I knew they didn’t want a virus, they only wanted us to believe in one. I had no idea what was coming though.

  2. I’ll broach the topic here: I suspect I am being shadow-banned. I read Petra, respect her work and especially like the idea that we often disagree, a sign that we are each thinking. She’s a good person to be in touch with.

    I occasionally link to a comment made, wanting to see it in its blog environment, and more and more get the message “URL cannot be found.” My traffic is way down, and there could be many contributing factors, including my age and having timed out. But I have it in mind that I need to move to Substack. I’ve been extremely busy with traveling and hard work on our property … no time for these details. Something else I want to explore, Zoom and videocasts. It is time to address the matter. I need to hop on the learning curve.

    I’ll take whatever en(dis)couragement that happens this way, but I think I am timing out here and need to move to a different environment. I am an odd duck, half introvert, half extrovert. I treasure my moments of reflection but light up with an audience. Maybe I would do OK with a camera, a mic, a guest (Klausler, are you out there? Steve K?).

    Just spinning notions.

    1. Yes my friend, I am here in the ether. Thank you for thinking of me.

      I would likely be a poor guest. I am a fairly boring creature… A creature with a large component of its life as routine – by choice. I look to you, and Steve, and many of your Commentors to provide excellent well-researched information – you do much of the work for me. By the way, I find this is true on SubStack as well (shite there too, of course).

      I can tell a story, but most often it involves subjects differing greatly from those much more important (I think) provided here (and there). My expertise, if you can call it that, lies in practical physiology and the execution of that condition – most commonly, and enjoyably, out in the wild (no, not Detroit) – but also in preparation for great violence that I see coming.

      I am an angry, unforgiving and intolerant white male. Right and wrong matter to me, severely; good and bad as well. I must keep my true beliefs (and intentions) rather hidden as I wish to remain employed nine few more months. I have removed many of my (mostly harmless) posts that express much of who I am (staying away from religion and other colors of purported authority). Of course, I know that these missives have all been archived by the dimwits at the alphabet agencies.

      We, including my ignorant self, and several generations previous, have let this beautiful country become overridden with putrescence. As much as I detest the commonly defined monarchy, I feel that a king might be necessary – I mean a real King. I will not abide, but the masses will – and I think that that might not be so bad. Wipe it clean – literally.

      1. I tell people that the absolute monarchy in Thailand in effect is the best government I have experienced. Few believe it. Unfortunately, the present king is really pathetic, likely because they are trying to destroy the monarchy, but old traditions die hard. You will have to pry the monarchy out of Thailand’s cold, dead hands to exterminate it.

        Moreover i see more direct democracy over there than here. In my wife’s village they have frequent meetings on the goings on in the village, something you don’t see in the unites states. I was excited to move to my present town in Massachusetts because it supposedly had direct, New England town democracy. What I found out is every budget initiative is pre-selected to pass, in the three years i went to town meetings not one budget resolution failed to pass. I.e. a complete waste of time.

        1. I reckon you are on to something. Podcast or video, probably both.

          If you want some controversy Mark get me as a guest. People hate what I have to say regarding how much better off we are now due to all of the scams our rulers run and how our current system is the best system for our current environment.

          And of course morality as a tool or weapon.

  3. ‘ “We’re in a live exercise here,” after which Donald Trump says quietly and impassively, “You should have let us … you should have let us know.” ‘

    I remember seeing that. and they wanted us to see that, it was on television and nothing random truth slips out and gets approved to show to the public. Maybe they wanted to make it look like Donnie didn’t know..ya right…half a year later becoming the Father of the vaccines at warp speed..I also remember Donnie coming out to do a press conference and when topic about the markets came up he said “I hope you didn’t sell” with a exaggerated scary look on his face. Of course he’s just one actor in the event. They all knew what was going to happen, this was planned decades in advance. We’re all stuck holding the bag talking about the who, what, why and how for the rest of our lives with no recourse, as they have all moved onto the next chapter.

    1. I’m really not into symbology and the planets even though I know they are but I cannot help finding this series, Scripted Skies, fascinating. It shows how 9/11 occurred when there was an alignment of certain planets which has a relationship with the alignment for the covid rollout and how two major preceding exercises for both events lined up with other alignments … I need to watch it probably a few times to take it all in. It really is fascinating and I’m sorry the guy has such a low viewership.
      So yeah, it’s all planned … however long in advance.
