Revolver exclusive study: COVID-19 lockdowns over 10 times more deadly than pandemic itself

A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American citizens.

Up until this point there had been no simple, rigorous analysis that accurately and definitively conveys the true costs of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Accordingly, Revolver News set out to commission a study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the lockdowns in terms of a metric known as "life-years." Simply put, we have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of unemployment to calculate an estimate of how many years of life will have been lost due to the lockdowns in the United States, and have weighed this against an estimate of how many years of life will have been saved by the lockdowns. The results are nothing short of staggering, and suggest that the lockdowns will end up costing Americans over 10 times as many years of life as they will save from the virus itself.

The COVID-19 lockdown measures that Americans have had to endure for the greater part of 2020 represent one of the most dramatic, consequential, and damaging policy measures undertaken in this nation's history. For the first time in its history, America has experienced a situation so crippling and perilous that long term financial and social stability have been legitimately threatened.

Mount Etna erupts for the 10th time in 3 weeks, raining rocks and ash down on Catania, Sicily

Ash and rocks rained down on nearby towns in Sicily
Europe's biggest and most active volcano has been erupting since mid-February, raining ash and smoke over Sicily's eastern coast. Mount Etna last erupted at 2am local time (1am GMT) on Sunday, March 7, in a spectacular display of nature's fireworks. The eruption, or paroxysm, saw "impressive lava fountains" shoot into the sky from Etna's northeast crater, according to volcanologists at Volcano Discovery.

Activity picked up in the wee morning hours on Sunday after three days of relative peace and quiet.

Volcano Discovery said: "This marks the 10th paroxysm in a row in a remarkable series since February 16.

"Intervals between individual eruptions have been regular, ranging between 36 hours to 3.5 days only, and there are no signs that this series is ending soon."

Lava fountaining at Etna's crater was preceded by a spike in volcanic tremors - a surefire sign of magma rushing to the surface.

The volcano belched a column of ash and smoke that left nearby towns covered in ash and was even picked up by satellites, according to BBC Weather.

A report issued by the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Toulouse (VAAC) on Sunday warned of sulphur dioxide (SO2) mixed with ice and some ash in the clouds around the volcano.

Over 20 million Britons have taken the 'Covid-19 vaccine' - UK on course to achieve staggering 90%+ vaccination rate

Forget the Red or Blue pills, Britons have gone for Prozium
More than nine in 10 adults across the UK have either already been - or intend to be - vaccinated against Covid-19, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has revealed.

New ONS data also shows that Covid deaths fell by more than a quarter in just one week in England in Wales.

The ONS said that between 17 and 21 February, 94% of 4,113 adults in Great Britain responding to their Opinions and Lifestyle Survey reported they 'had received, are awaiting or would be likely to have the vaccine if offered'.

This has risen from 78% indicating they would be likely to accept the vaccine if offered it in early December when polled by the weekly online survey, it added.

However, the ONS reiterated that 'fewer people in minority ethnic groups said they would be likely to have the vaccine than in [the] White ethnic group'.

Comment: The above Covid figures are obviously baloney, given that the standards for what is and is not a 'Covid case' are not based on proper medical protocol.

But unless the UK government is also inflating vaccine uptake numbers, then the above appears to provide a reliable snapshot of just how many people are willingly participating in the British government's mass socio-pseudo-scientific experiment in 'improving humans' with mRNA 'software upgrades'.

This mass obedience (in an educated, Western population!) is amazing to behold. Only Israel tops the UK, so far, for population percentage Covid vaccine uptake.

And there's currently no reason to suspect they won't also dutifully line up for the stream of 'seasonal boosters' they're told are required for each variant as SARS-CoV-2 (itself probably a 'lab-to-wild' vaccine-virus, remember!) mutates...

A front-page article appeared in the FranceSoir newspaper about findings on the Nakim website regarding what some experts are calling "the high mortality caused by the vaccine."

The paper interviews Aix-Marseille University Faculty of Medicine Emerging Infectious and Tropical Diseases Unit's Dr. Hervé Seligmann and engineer Haim Yativ about their research and data analysis. They claim that Pfizer's shot causes "mortality hundreds of times greater in young people compared to mortality from coronavirus without the vaccine, and dozens of times more in the elderly, when the documented mortality from coronavirus is in the vicinity of the vaccine dose, thus adding greater mortality from heart attack, stroke, etc."

Cambodia has ZERO Covid-19 deaths yet threatens 20 years' imprisonment for breaking lockdown - France calls up 4,400 police to enforce curfew in Paris

A medic (2nd L) wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) talks to a woman waiting to take a Covid-19 coronavirus test at the National Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh on February 23, 2021.
New legislation adopted in Cambodia would make violating coronavirus measures a serious offense punishable by up to two decades behind bars. The harsh law has been criticized as a way to crack down on dissent.

Passed unanimously by the country's parliament on Friday, the law calls for a three-year prison sentence for those who break quarantine orders, and up to twenty years in jail for any group that intentionally spreads the virus.

Cambodia's Health Minister Mam Bunheng hailed the law as a way to "protect public health."

The southeast Asian nation has registered 932 Covid cases since the start of the pandemic, but has yet to record a single death linked to the virus.

Comment: If the coronavirus was the threat that governments claimed it to be, it's likely they wouldn't need to deploy increasing numbers of their security forces to remind citizens of the supposed threat.

WHO report finds coronavirus did NOT originate at Wuhan market or state lab - but it may have leaked from a lab elsewhere

Peter Ben Embarek admitted they didn't get 'hard facts or detailed data' from the lab
A TEAM of World Health Organisation experts probing the origins of Covid-19 is scrapping a top level report on its recent mission to China, say reports.

No reasons were apparently given for the decision to ditch the interim report but the move comes after a string of delays and a dramatic U-turn by the WHO.


Comment: It would appear that the report discredited the propaganda coming out of the West and so it's a smeared as a 'whitewash'.


And after it was accused of "a whitewash" by saying it found Covid probably did not originate at the Wuhan wet market or from a state science lab leak.

The much-heralded probe had been plagued by delays, concern over access and bickering between Beijing and Washington.

On suing Facebook & Big Tech for canceling conservative businesses: The Rubin Report

Dave Rubin (L) Steven Crowder (R)
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Steven Crowder (Host, Louder with Crowder) and Bill Richmond about their Facebook lawsuit, the ongoing conservative censorship by Big Tech, and why cancel culture has created so many secret celebrity Republicans.

Steven first discusses the social media censorship he has been dealing with for years and why Facebook censorship was the final straw. Was Facebook throttling the 'Louder With Crowder' channel? Is political censorship the reason that his election livestream was removed without any explanation? Is conservative speech being censored on social media platforms? These are questions that will now have to be answered in court as Steven sues Facebook for fraud in his internet censorship lawsuit.

Steven discusses the difficulty of having a conservative news Facebook business. Facebook is constantly changing it's rules or simply not telling anyone what the rules are. Conservative media is in such demand that even big tech conservative censorship has not been able to prevent the successes like Louder With Crowder or The Ben Shapiro Show.

Comment: Dave and Steve have both done yeoman work in exposing the insanity of current society. They have paid a heavy price.

The vaccine rollout is in full flow now, the daily tickers have had "people vaccinated" added to their red counters, and the improbably large number grows more improbably large every day.

The sale of the century is very much on. The powers that be want every single person to be vaccinated, and they're pulling out all the stops to make sure it happens.

Here are the five main ways the establishment is trying to manufacture your consent.

Putin blasts World Economic Forum honchos at Davos gabfest

Comment: Yes dear reader, we have covered this story here before, but the insights provided by both Russia's President Putin and the author of the article merit the read. And for those of you who have not yet heard about the following - enjoy...


Why is Vladimir Putin standing up to the richest and most powerful men in the world? Why is he bad-mouthing their "pet project" Globalization and trash-talking their "Great Reset"? Does he really think these corporate mandarins and "silver spoon" elites are going to listen to what he has to say or does he realize that they're just going to hate him more than ever? Why is he doing this?

Here's what's going on: At the end of January, Putin was given the opportunity to address the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland (online). The WEF is a prestigious assembly of political leaders, corporatists and billionaire elites many of who are directly involved in the massive global restructuring project that is currently underway behind the smokescreen of the Covid-19 pandemic. Powerful members of the WEF decided that the Coronavirus presented the perfect opportunity to implement their dystopian strategy which includes a hasty transition to green energy, A.I., robotics, transhumanism, universal vaccination and a comprehensive surveillance matrix that detects the location and activities of every human being on the planet. The proponents of this universal police state breezily refer to it as "The Great Reset" which is the latest make-over of the more familiar, "New World Order". There's not a hairsbreadth difference between the Reset and one-world government which has preoccupied billionaire activists for more than a century. This is the group to which Putin made the following remarks:

10 years on from Christchurch disaster, powerful earthquakes strike off New Zealand (UPDATES)


The Guardian
Thu, 04 Mar 2021 15:03 UTC

Comment: This keeps happening. In the last couple of years, strong quakes have been occurring on or very close to significant anniversaries (from the point of view of the afflicted country)...


quake
Quake centred at 10km depth, about 178km from town of Gisborne, where people felt shaking

Authorities in New Zealand have issued a tsunami warning after a shallow, powerful earthquake struck off the country's north-eastern coast in the early hours of Friday.

The quake measured a preliminary 6.9 magnitude and was centered at a depth of 10km (six miles) approximately 178km north-east of the city of Gisborne, the US Geological Survey said. Residents of Gisborne reported light to moderate shaking, it said.

There were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties, but the New Zealand National Emergency Management Agency warned people who had felt a powerful tremor to move to higher ground, writing in a tweet:

Comment:

UPDATE 2100 CET

An other, even bigger, quake has struck off NZ. This one has been recorded at 8.0M, and thankfully it struck much further to the north, near the Kermadec Islands. Tsunami warnings have sounded across North Island's northern coastline.

Last month, Fukushima, Japan, felt its strongest quake since the March 2011 disaster. In September 2017, Mexico City felt its strongest since the horrendous 1985 quake struck there - on the same day, 32 years earlier.

Now, we're not saying that anthropocentric dating is the key factor here, but these recent examples of 'resonating dates' do suggest some kind of role for mass consciousness in natural, otherwise 'random' events.

Human-cosmic connection, anyone? Is some 'mass mind effect' involved (sometimes) in the timing/release of certain planetary/cosmic energies?

UPDATE 6 March 2021

A second strong quake has struck off New Zealand's northeast, this one a 6.1 magnitude earthquake, 140km east of Te Araroa, off the North Island, at a depth of 33km at around 1.14pm on Saturday.
