What history will record as the great COVID coup of 2020 is based on lies and fear manufactured by America’s ruling class - led by the Democratic Party and aided by the complaisance of most Republican politicians.
In March, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) presented the coronavirus to the Western world as a danger equivalent to the plague. But China’s experience, which its government obfuscated, had already shown that COVID-19 was much less like the plague and more like the flu. All that has happened since followed from falsifying this basic truth.
Americans were led to believe that the virus was unusually contagious, and that it would kill up to one in 20 persons it infected—a 5 percent infection/fatality rate (IFR). Today, we still lack definitive, direct knowledge of COVID-19’s true lethality. The absence of that knowledge allows bureaucrats to continue fearmongering.
By May, a host of studies in the U.S. and around the world showing that the vast majority of COVID cases cause mild symptoms or none, and showing the IFR to be equal to or lower than that for most flus, forced the CDC to conclude that the lethality rate, far from being 5 percent, was 0.26%––double that of a typical flu. Instead of amending their recommendations in the face of this reality, the CDC and the U.S. government tried to hide it by manipulating the definition and number of COVID “cases.”
Federal officials defined “cases” as people sick enough to be hospitalized who also tested positive for the virus—this represented the “curve” that we were urged to sacrifice so much to “flatten,” lest a wave of hospitalizations overwhelm our health-care system.

In reality, those who died with or of COVID-19 nearly always suffered from other diseases as well, such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and compromised lungs, in addition to being elderly and infirm. COVID-19’s effect on ordinary healthy persons is considerably milder than those of ordinary respiratory diseases.
COVID-19 is not America’s plague. There was never the slightest evidence that the virus could produce mass casualties; all evidence pointed in the opposite direction. Instead, the ruling class took this opportunity to extort the general public’s compliance with its agendas. Their claim to speak on behalf of “science” is an attempt to avoid being held accountable for the enormous harm that they are doing. They continue doing it because they want to hold on to the power the panic has brought them.
In sum, the lockdowns have been inflicted and perpetuated by people who care more about your subjugation than your health. They want to wreck the U.S. economy and increase the Democratic Party’s chances in the 2020 election. And they might succeed.
Pretty much what has happened.
THIS IS STRANGE: Report Shows 2020 with Lowest Number of Recorded US Deaths Since 2009

so.. the whole world is in on this?
Yes don’t be stupid
There is evidence that China suffered far worse than it claims and that the virus, while targeted for type O populations instead had an affinity for AB blood which is the predominant Chinese blood type. Those 21 million cell phone contract cancellations in a very short period of time is something to think about. Chinese are required to own and carry a sart phone by which along with the ubiquitous cameras and AI ID tech keeps track of the people’s movements and actions minutely. They only relinquish them- get contracts cancelled at death.
First, I agree with much of the article.
Second, I was surprised to see it posted in Real Clear Politics. That is read by both sides. That’s interesting.
The Bush League Republicans have been working towards a permanent Democrat majority for 30 years.
Leaving the borders open and the laws unenforced and advocating for amnesty is just part of the plan.

SNOPES, THE URBAN LEGEND DEBUNKING WEBSITE, HAS DEEMED THE 21 MILLION CELL PHONE CANCELLATIONS AS PROOF THAT MILLIONS HAVE DIED AS “UNPROVEN”.
See here:
Did Millions of Canceled Cellphones Reveal Unreported Coronavirus Deaths in China?
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/china-cellphones-coronavirus/
EXCERPT:
The Associated Press reported, the drop in cellphone subscriptions in China could also be attributable to reasons other than millions of subscribers’ succumbing to COVID-19:
A representative with China Mobile Ltd. said while the situation was related to the COVID-19 outbreak, it was not related to deaths, but changes in lifestyle.
“It was mainly due to reduced business and social activities resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak,” a spokesperson with the company confirmed to the AP. “Many customers in China have multiple SIM cards and it is common that they use their non-primary SIM cards to do these activities.”
A China Unicom representative acknowledged the difficult market forces at work: “For the first two months of 2020, [we were] facing challenges such as market saturation, keen market competition and the novel coronavirus outbreak …”
Excellent post. I have always thought that something like that happened down there because so many buildings are still intact. The people just killed the authorities and disappeared in to the jungle was my premise. Didn’t think about the priests and nobility.
Do you have a source for that as this is the first I’ve read about blood type targeting.
Snopes is far from a disinterested fact checker, they are an integral part of the Ministry of Propaganda.
Believe nothing from Snopes.
“The people finally realized the priests and nobility had been and were manipulating them.”
Can easily substitute media and rats in that sentence.
May eventually come down to that if their ways don’t change.
There has to be a reckoning.
Angelo Codevilla speaks the raw, unvarnished truth fluently. The article that he wrote is a succinct appraisal of the current dog and pony production that has taken over our country.
The president DID declare a national emergency for COVID-19.

I think that President Trump's response was entirely prudent and necessary.
Agreed.
Agreed as well.
