Event 201 was a dry run of exactly this.

Yes, coincidences happen.

Event 201 laid out a template on how to respond to a pandemic.

And there was a billionaire pushing for government to use it.

“Hey! Finally, a nail to try out my new hammer on.”

Add to that the pressure of all the politician who participated in Event 201.

“I participated in Event 201! I’m an expert!”

It could be a conspiracy, but human nature also explains it.

Bill Gates wants to be known for something more important than Microsoft. He wants to be the savior of the world! He and his wife start his foundation that host Even 201 to simulate surviving a pandemic. This exercise had been in planning for years.

A month later COVID-19 emerges.

New viruses crop up all the time. A major one every few years. Ono or two at least every decade. They start spreading in November or December. So, it is not unlikely that a new virus should crop up shortly after Event 201.

Not to be argumentative, I just see human nature as a more likely cause than a conspiracy. A lot of people want to be in charge and be the center of attention. A crisis like a pandemic is the perfect excuse.

Turn an outbreak in to a pandemic is easy to do because it gives the press something to write about.

Because we continue to think they are intelligent and capable of such manipulation.

But they are not any smarter than we are. It is just birds of a feather flock together.

Well a local pastor linked a Christianity Today article along the same lines, even claiming Q-Anon is the biggest conspiracy of them all.

Interesting too how with JFK in 1961 the MSM claimed it was the Russians as one of their proposed theories. One of their favorites to blame I’d say. So sad.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
