The paranoid style in COVID-19 America: The public health establishment is desperate to maintain hysteria in the populace

Cyclists in Central Park, New York City

To grasp the urgency of lifting the ubiquitous economic shutdowns, visit New York City's Central Park, ideally in the morning. At 5:45 am, it is occupied by maybe 100 runners and cyclists, spread over 843 acres. A large portion of these early-bird exercisers wear masks. Are they trying to protect anyone they might encounter from their own unsuspected coronavirus infection? Perhaps. But if you yourself run towards an oncoming runner on a vector that will keep you at least three yards away when you pass each other, he is likely to lunge sideways in terror if your face is not covered. The masked cyclists, who speed around the park's inner road, apparently think that there are enough virus particles suspended in the billions of square feet of fresh air circulating across the park to enter their mucous membranes and to sicken them.

These are delusional beliefs, yet they demonstrate the degree of paranoia that has infected the population. Every day the lockdown continues, its implicit message that we are all going to die if we engage in normal life is reinforced. Polls show an increasing number of Americans opting to continue the economic quarantine indefinitely lest they be 'unsafe'. The longer that belief is reinforced, the less likely it will be that consumers will patronize reopened restaurants or board airplanes in sufficient numbers to bring the economy back to life.

Belarus President Lukashenko on why he's resisted Coronavirus lockdown: 'People will raise me up on pitchforks'

Comment: Does Lukashenko have even bigger balls than Putin?...

Belarus has reported a total of 11,289 COVID-19 cases and 75 coronavirus-related fatalities among its population of 9.5 million people. The country is one of the few nations in Europe that's chosen not to introduce widespread quarantine measures to tackle the pandemic, with workplaces, schools, shops, parks and other public places staying open.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has explained why his government continues to stubbornly refuse the introduction of nation-wide restrictive measures to tackle the coronavirus, a month-and-a-half after most of the rest of the industrialized world has put various 'stay at home' orders in place.

"There are some people pushing us, saying 'come on, Lukashenko you blankety-blank, introduce quarantine'. Listen, people would raise me up on pitchforks if I did so," the Belarusian president said, speaking to residents of a rural area in Gomel region, southern Belarus on Sunday.

Comment: Lukashenko is acting from common sense, a rare commodity these days.

But what's more, he's acting from the point of view of someone who assumes that the lockdowns measures are to prevent the spread of a virus that threatens to decimate the population. He's not seeing said decimation, so he doesn't understand why the lockdowns were implemented.

Lukashenko is articulating what every halfway sensible leader was thinking... BEFORE they were told SOMETHING that the rest of us (Lukashenko included) were not privy to.

What was it that they were told?

That this virus has 'certain properties' that would make people... change psychologically in some way? Become 'rebellious'??

'FREE AMERICA': Elon Musk divides opinions after calling lockdown 'fascist' and tweeting 'give people their freedom back!'

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has come out in favor of reducing restrictions on freedoms and businesses, sparking a fierce debate on Twitter. Some lauded him and others chastised him for putting profits ahead of people's safety.

The Tesla and SpaceX founder called on Wednesday for the US to lift the lockdown, tweeting "FREE AMERICA NOW" and "Give people their freedom back!"

He also attached links to a Wall Street Journal article suggesting lockdowns were ineffective and to another praising Texas for announcing more businesses will be allowed to reopen on Friday.

Comment: He also let out an expletive-laden rant during Tesla's Q1 2020 earning phone call, calling the lockdown orders around the country "fascist, " and called shelter-in-place orders "forcibly imprisoning people in their homes against all their constitutional rights."

Covid-1984 Phase Two: Arbitrarily Expand the Definition of the Disease

As I've described in previous articles, the CDC and WHO deploy several strategies to pump up the number of COVID cases. For example, the diagnostic test, which spits out many, many false-positive results.

After all, the authorities must somehow convince the dumbed-down public that the "epidemic" is alive and spreading.

Next up: we will see new symptoms added to the list of COVID indicators. In 1987, I watched the shameless manufacture of so-called AIDS-related diseases. The CDC definition of AIDS, which I printed in my book, AIDS INC., took up 15 pages. The only non-AIDS-related disease left after the CDC got through was infection by aliens from the Orion Belt.

So here we go again.

Comment: As more studies emerge showing that infections from the virus are more widespread and thus it is FAR LESS lethal than all the experts have been predicting, people will start to question the totalitarian containment measures taken - and the PTB can't have that happen, can they?

Craig Murray: The disgusting lies on Harry Dunn's death must stop

Anne Sacoolas (L) Harry Dunn (R)

Beyond any doubt, it would have been Dominic Raab's personal decision to grant a fake diplomatic immunity to Anne Sacoolas and permit her to leave the country. I have watched with sheer horror the Tory crocodile tears, the ministerial meetings with Harry Dunn's brave but distraught family, and the PR pretence that the UK is seeking Anne Sacoolas' return, now that she is safely back at CIA HQ. It is perhaps the most nauseating display of individual hypocrisy I have ever seen in politics. The callous abuse of Harry Dunn's suffering family and the sheer cynicism of the patent charade that the government is supporting them, leave me deeply depressed - and very angry.

It may surprise you, but I have known and worked with some Tories who were at heart honorable men. The centre of this government is estranged from the very concept of personal honour.

Comment: Some background on the whole sordid case.

Mr. Murray indeed has his own troubles stemming from his exposure of another travesty of justice:

Craig Murray defense fund launched

My Defence Fund now stands at £46,002, well on the way towards its target of £60,000.

There have so far been 2,205 donors, to each of whom I am very grateful, especially so many dedicated supporters who have stood by me in campaigns for civil liberties and for Scottish independence. But perhaps I may just note it was also heartwarming to receive donations from a few long term political opponents who are appalled by this attack on freedom of speech, and several senior lawyers likewise. Which is an interesting contrast with Scottish MSM journalists, who on social media all seem delighted at the prospect that anyone who counters their joint narrative should go to jail.

Legal Defence Fund over half way to the target in just 16 hours! £34,212 raised from 1,507 individuals. 54% of donors in Scotland, 22% in England, 14% in USA. I am choked with gratitude at the support. Will post further updates.

Almost 90 percent of COVID-19 patients who were placed on ventilators in New York's largest hospital system have died from the coronavirus, according to a study.

Overall, 88 percent of the patients treated at Northwell Health died after receiving mechanical ventilation, Dr. Safiya Richardson at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and her colleagues found.

Of the 2,634 patients whose outcomes were known, 14 percent were treated in the intensive care unit, 12 percent were placed on ventilators and 3 percent received kidney replacement therapy, the study said.

Twenty-one percent of the total group died, according to the findings, which were was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Critical questions for Dr. Shiva about his attempts to splinter the health freedom movement

For many months I have remained silent in the face of defamatory and dishonest attacks against me by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai. My approach was to ignore the sniping to preserve the unity of the Health Freedom Movement. However, Shiva has expanded his malevolent campaign to include venomous salvos against our community's most prominent and effective leaders, including Del Bigtree, Mark Blaxill, Dr. Rashid Buttar, Polly Tommey and Samoan-Australian activist Taylor Winterstein. Because he now has some of our outstanding spokesmen in his gun-sites, and because his poisonous volleys have begun to damage the solidarity that is critical to our success, I reluctantly make this response.

Little Lies / Big Lies

I had never heard of Shiva when he approached me on the street following a January 6th, 2020 Trenton rally. We had a friendly chat and took a photo. Afterwards, he tweeted that I had refused to shake his hand. A half-dozen photos of us shaking hands soon surfaced, proving his statements false. It was only then that I learned he was running as a fringe candidate for U.S. Senate against my nephew, Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Kennedy. It is axiomatic that a man who lies about small things, will also lie about the large. I made a note to fact check Shiva's assertions. I advise others to take similar precautions.

America's super-rich see their wealth rise by $282 Billion in three weeks of lockdown

America's billionaires have accrued more wealth in the past three weeks alone than they made in total prior to 1980.

A new report from the Institute for Policy Studies found that, while tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic, America's ultra-wealthy elite have seen their net worth surge by $282 billion in just 23 days. This is despite the fact that the economy is expected to contract by 40 percent this quarter. The report also noted that between 1980 and 2020 the tax obligations of America's billionaires, measured as a percentage of their wealth, decreased by 79 percent. In the last 30 years, U.S. billionaire wealth soared by over 1100 percent while median household wealth increased by barely five percent. In 1990, the total wealth held by America's billionaire class was $240 billion; today that number stands at $2.95 trillion. Thus, America's billionaires accrued more wealth in just the past three weeks than they made in total prior to 1980. As a result, just three people - Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet - own as much wealth as the bottom half of all U.S. households combined.

Riots break out in Lebanon as currency crashes - Lockdown failing as citizens torch banks, army vehicles

Clashes broke out between protesters and security forces in northern Lebanon Monday amid a crash in the local currency and a surge in food prices. Dozens of young men smashed the fronts of local banks and set fire to an army vehicle, as the protests turned into riots.

The Red Cross said its teams were working on evacuating wounded people in Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city and one of the most neglected regions in Lebanon.

Comment: Evacuating wounded people? How bad is this thing?

Scattered anti-government protests resumed last week as the government began easing the weeks-long lockdown to limit the spread of the new coronavirus in Lebanon, which has reported 710 cases and 24 deaths so far.

Comment: Right, so that's the problem then: Lebanese leaders went full lockdown on their people for nothing.

The number of registered cases has dropped over the past two weeks, leading to the shortening of the nighttime curfew by one hour and allowing some businesses to resume work on Monday.

Comment: So one of the 50+ countries that was seeing mass protests last Fall has now returned to that state despite Corona1984.

How long before more populations rise up.

2020 may turn out to be an explosive year.

Quote of the Day

State power has its own limits defined by the fact that it is authority that reaches people from outside. State power cannot oversee and dictate the creative states of the soul and mind, the inner states of love, freedom and goodwill. The state cannot demand from its citizens faith, prayer, love, goodness and conviction. It cannot regulate scientific, religious and artistic creation. It should not intervene in moral, family and daily private life, and only when extremely necessary should it impinge on people's economic initiative and creativity.
